A $6 Bottega bag, a sinking boat, a crystal that caused a calf tear, and the uncomfortable truth about Gen Alpha kids.
This week on Grab Her By The Mic, we started with a wholesome morning walk up a mountain. We looked out over a beautiful view, breathed in the fresh air, and immediately started workshopping the logistics of disposing of a body. It escalated.
From there we somehow made it to Recap & Rosé - a French rosé that scored 91/100 and is described as "a beautifully subtle honeysuckle pink colour." We described it as tart. Like us. Han's week was a big one: wrapping up a chapter, making some scary decisions, and arriving on the other side feeling something dangerously close to peace. Philsy's week involved a boat that was slowly sinking (not metaphorically, literally), soggy sandwiches, nearly shouting "take your leg out" at a seven-year-old, and a crystal she charged that may have given someone a calf tear. The Lord giveth, the crystal taketh.
This week Philsy's HyperFix went full entrepreneur with a deep dive into side hustles - specifically thrifting designer items from op shops and flipping them for serious coin. We're talking a $6 Bottega bag sold for $548. Then Han took us somewhere more confronting: Gen Alpha kids. Why are they so feral? Why can't they sit still? Why does your child know 12 varieties of grass in Spanish but cannot handle waiting 40 seconds for toast. Uncomfortable realisations are unlocked.
The SideQuest was Han's "Translate This, Genius" - a Gen Alpha slang quiz where Philsy had to pick the correct definition from three options, all of which were plausible and mostly wrong. She got most of them. We were both relieved and disturbed.
Chaotic but accidentally therapeutic. Occasionally educational. Always slightly feral.
See you next Tuesday. 💋
Stick around after the outro for Chaos Correctional - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air.
This week we correct:
