Hurry The Fck Up...This Is Hong Kong!
We went to Hong Kong for a family vacay and it delivered. Every. Single. Time. This week — a city where people walk fast and talk loud, and no that does not mean they are rude, it means they have somewhere to be and something important banter to share. Food is the number one priority in Hong Kong, if you don't like to eat...don't go to Hong Kong. We're talking one Michelin Star spicy fish pot, must-eat egg waffles and the kind of hole-in-the-wall Hong Kong style restaurant that has no business being that good. Shop like a local and get further Asian discounts. Watch out for dripping air con water falling from above because someone up high want to hydrate you face whether you like it or not. Also — dogs and cats in prams are everywhere. No judgement! And finally, Hong Kong Tea Cafe service. Day one — you will think they hate you. Day three — you are family. That's not rudeness, that's just tough love and honestly it's the most Hong Kong thing there is. Miss it already. See you again HK! New episodes drop every Wednesday. Grab a cuppa and let’s get intoit.

Another Lesson No One Needs!
We're back. Nobody asked, but here we are. This week — it's official, our smartphones are our meal companions. We've all just collectively agreed that our phones are better company than the people sitting opposite us. Then, Melbourne baristas — talented, passionate, devoted to their craft — but do they think they're the coffee GOD? Grace is a self-proclaimed non-animal person and yet somehow has very strong opinions on who should and shouldn't be allowed to own a dog. Big or small. She's judging either way. And finally, there is a question — asked constantly, by a very specific type of person — that drives Grace absolutely up the wall. Listen now and find out what it is. You're welcome.

Where Are You Actually From Karen?
This week we return to our favourite format: Two nobodies, zero plan, whatever's on our minds. First up a big shout-out to our 14 loyal listeners, who show up every Wednesday for reasons we genuinely cannot explain and frankly don't deserve. Then we get into why "where are you from?" has somehow become a very loaded question and why an entire generation now watches live concerts exclusively through a 6-inch phone screen instead of, you know, being there. As always: no research, no filter, mostly just vibes. Thanks for tuning in again — whoever you 14 are. Keep It Real People! New episodes drop every Wednesday. Grab a cuppa and let’s get intoit.

Is Ringing Someone Considered A Crime?
We eavesdropped on our teen's phone call recently, purely for research purposes, and came away with more questions than answers. No time was agreed. No location was mentioned. At no point did anyone say a full sentence. And yet, apparently, plans were made. This week we take a good hard look at how younger generation communicate, compare to the Gen X and Boomer approach and try to work out how an entire generation became fluent in vibes but not in venues. Along the way: the quiet epidemic of loneliness hiding behind 900 online friends, and why answering an unscheduled phone call is now considered a hate crime. Kettle on. This one requires many cuppa tea. New episodes drop every Wednesday.

How To Turn A Small Problem Into A Disaster?
This week on Don't Make Me Call Her podcast, We are running an unofficial masterclass in one of Grace's most well-practiced skills: taking a completely minor inconvenience and turning it into a full-blown disaster, entirely inside her own head. Dramatic much Grace Lam? We break down the actual psychology behind it because apparently this isn't just Grace being dramatic, experts narrow it down to childhood, trauma, genetics, the whole catalogue — we get into where this pattern actually comes from. Jason, as always, remains baffled by how quickly Grace can go from "0 to 1000000000" without any warning. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Grab a cuppa and let’s get into it.

What A Fcking Shit Show!
This week on Don't Make Me Call Her, we ditched the structure entirely and just fired random questions at each other because we can. No theme, no notes, pure vibes. Topics include: modern dating etiquette, AI boyfriends and girlfriends, mean boss behaviour and what happens at Cannes Film Festival doesn't stay at Cannes. Oh — and there's a special "inchident." You'll just have to listen and find out. Zero structure, lotza chaos, exactly the energy you didn't know you needed today. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Grab a cuppa and let’s get into it.

What's It Like Sleeping With Grace Lam?
This week on Don't Make Me Call Her, we're pulling back the curtain on what it's actually like sharing a bed with me — and no, we are not getting into the spicy stuff, nobody needs that mental image. Instead, Jason is finally airing every annoying bed habit he's been quietly cataloguing for years, and I am, unfortunately, fighting back with receipts of my own. Covers get stolen. Someone talks too much right when the lights go off. Who breathes too loud at night? We're naming and shaming, keeping score, and finding out once and for all who's actually the worse person to share a mattress with. New episodes drop every Wednesday.

Rules We Made Up, Follow Them!
This week on Don't Make Me Call Her, Grace and Jason lay down the modern survival guide nobody asked for but everybody needs. First up: how to dodge scammers by essentially becoming your own personal FBI field agent — trust no one, verify everything, treat every unexpected text like a national security threat. Then it's an intervention on emoji dependency because apparently a carrot, an apple or a lemon emoji shouldn't be an official grocery shopping list. Finally, the Gen X dilemma: what do you do when an unknown number calls? Grace has thoughts. Strong, borderline unhinged thoughts. Jason, as always, suggests the reasonable option. Grace does not take it. Modern life doesn't come with a manual, so consider this the unofficial one — written by two people who are absolutely not qualified to write it, and doing it anyway.

Fxck Ageism!
This week on Don't Make Me Call Her, Grace and Jason tackle ageism — or as Grace calls it, the moment society decides you've expired like a carton of milk, except milk doesn't come with 20 years of experience and better judgment. Somewhere between "overqualified" and "not a culture fit," an entire generation quietly got filed under "no longer relevant," and nobody even had the decency to say it to their face. The two get into it — the very specific flavour of ageism that hits women a decade before it hits men, and why "seasoned" apparently means something different depending on gender. Quite frankly Gen X are saying 'We are too old for this shit! Period!' New episodes drop every Wednesday. Grab a cuppa and let’s get into it.

Grill Me Like Yakitorie (BBQ)
This week Jason puts Grace in the hot seat, grilling her with listener questions — most of which boil down to some version of "how do I become as fierce as you?" Grace tells it how it is with no filter, no PR training, no agent whispering in her ear to be more likeable. We get into the actual logistics of clapping back. Jason, meanwhile, plays the calm one, gently suggesting that maybe not every interaction requires a Chinatown-level response. If you've ever replayed an argument in the shower four hours later and thought of the perfect comeback way too late, this episode is basically a public service.

Are You Talking To Me D#ckhead?
How the f#ck do these people keep finding me? This week on DMMCH, we're getting into the two schools of clap back: the Ginja-Ninja full Chinatown way — blunt, immediate, and leaving zero room for interpretation — versus Jason's "chill like a monk" way of dealing with idiots. As much as we want to spread kindness, some people do deserve a reminder of how to behave better. This week I'm digging into a few of my most memorable (and deeply satisfying) clap back moments — real ones, real people, no regrets. We're talking the art of the quick response, when silence is actually the weapon, and why Jason's zen approach works for him but would never survive a day in the Grace inbox.

Don't Be Such A Pxssy FFS!
People get offended by everything these days—and we’re over it. In today’s episode of DMMCH, we’re discussing why direct communication is being labeled as "rude" and how to find the middle ground when the world feels like it’s becoming increasingly fragile. We’re talking about the cultural clash of directness, the struggle of being "too blunt" in a "soft" society, and how to stop catering to everyone else’s fragility. If you’re tired of the constant eggshell-walking, hit play. What’s your take? Are we too sensitive, or has the world just changed?

Why Is Everyone A Digital Narcissist?
Let’s be real: our communication skills have hit rock bottom. We are currently living through the Great Email/Text/DM Apocalypse, where we’re expected to be available 24/7, yet somehow, nobody actually knows how to have a conversation anymore. In this episode, we’re calling out the digital madness. We’re breaking down the massive generational gap—from the Gen X “I’ll get to it when I get to it” cool, to the Millennial “I’m experiencing a full-blown existential crisis because you left me on read,” all the way to the Gen Z/Alpha approach where if it isn’t a 15-second video, it basically didn’t happen. When did we decide that voice notes and cryptic emojis were better than just hearing a human voice? If your house is on fire, pick up the damn phone and call. If not? Then wait your turn. Jason and I also discuss how to set boundaries and stop being a slave to your inbox and why "I'll reply when I'm good and ready" is the most underrated power move of 2026. Let's create more in-person connection people! This ain't Covid era anymore.

How To Revenge Like Lewis Hamilton
Don't let your age define you people! As a huge Lewis Hamilton fan for many years, I’m so thrilled to celebrate his first Formula One Grand Prix win with the world's most iconic team, Scuderia Ferrari. At 41, driving for Ferrari in his second season, Lewis just gave the middle finger to every cynic who said he was "washed up." If the 2025 season was a dumpster fire, Spain was the glorious and EPIC revenge. This week on DMMCH, we’re unpacking the only thing that matters: why do people love to put an expiry date on our lives? Why are we so obsessed with being "past it" when, clearly, we’re just getting started? We’re talking about the art of ignoring the "you’re too old/too much/too ambitious" noise and why your self-talk needs to be sharper than a Formula 1 turn. But it’s not just about the track. It’s about the people standing on the sidelines—the people who clap for you but are secretly praying you hit a wall. We’re doing a brutal audit of your inner circle, calling out the fake people, and learning how to protect your energy like it’s a championship trophy. We’re tapping into the Stoic side of self-belief—because if you aren't backing yourself, who the hell is? In segment 'What Would Grace Do?' (replacing Ginja Ninja Combat Zone) Another listener write-in, another round of our highly unprofessional, unsolicited, and absolutely necessary advice. Keep'em coming peeps!

How To Get An Asian Discount
If you aren’t being called a “diva” or “difficult” at least once a week, are you even doing it right? This week on DMMCH, we’re weaponising the ‘Asian Discount.’ We’re moving past the supermarket haggling and looking at the real reason we do it: because you deserve what you’re asking for, and the world is counting on you to be too embarrassed to demand it. We’re peeling back the layers on why women are “difficult” for knowing their worth, while men are just “good negotiators.” We’re here to say "Sorry NOT Sorry". We’re teaching you how to treat rejection like a common cold—unpleasant for a second but it won’t kill you, and you definitely shouldn't let it stop you from getting what you want.

EP 9. Welcome to the cultural interrogation room. This episode, we are unpacking the endless cycle of family grilling. Why does reaching a certain age mean your aunties get a free pass to ask about your uterus, your bank account, and your relationship status? We dive into the heavy pressure to stay quiet just to 'keep the peace,' and share actual, practical ways to reject the traditional norm without being labeled the 'ungrateful child.' Because honestly? It’s none of their bloody business. Grab a matcha—we’re unlocking the scripts to shutting down the interrogation, respectfully...kinda!

We’ve all done it. You keep holding the door open for someone just because you have ten to thirty years of history together or because you share the same last name. But let’s get real: a long timeline or a bloodline isn’t a lifetime pass to wreck your mental health. It’s time to start issuing some "Access Denied" notices. In this episode, Jason and I are talking about how to spot the ultimate energy vampires, how to spot a narcissist, and master the art of the being the best door biatch. You don’t always have to block them completely—you just need to take away their VIP pass to your sanity.

The Ginja Hustle
If you work in the creative industry or the freelance world, grab a matcha latte and sit down. This week, Jason and I are pulling back the curtain on the absolute circus of chasing what you’re actually worth. We’re breaking down the ultimate "Dos and Don’ts" of setting your rates, and exposing the oldest client trick in the book: the classic "we just don't have the budget" sob story. Funny how that budget magically evaporates even when the economy is flying high, innit? We’re also calling out the people ruining the ecosystem by doing high-value work for absolute pennies. It’s hard out here, but undercutting everyone else just makes it worse for the rest of us. It’s time to grow a backbone and start charging properly. We’re heading straight back into the alleyway for this week’s Ginja Combat Zone and we need your ammunition.

How To Grow Your Own G-ninja
If you want to know how Grace Lam claps back this one is for you. Apparently, the "sweet primary school" era has a much shorter shelf life than it used to. One minute you’re dealing with lost lunchboxes, and the next, the social dynamics have shifted into a low-budget teen drama—about three years ahead of schedule. In this episode, Jason and I discuss the "Year 7 Pivot." We’re not pointing fingers, but let’s just say the parenting bar in the wild is currently sitting on the floor or even in the basement. Apparently Y7 is all about hanging with the 'cool kids' but may I remind you all that those so called 'cool kids' in high school are definitely not cool anymore....jus sayin. Grace shares some good quotes from renowned child psychologists -Gabor Mate and Dr Becky Kennedy.

I Eat Confrontation For Breakfast
Why are we all so terrified of a little chat? In this episode, we’re diving into the awkward, sweaty-palmed world of confrontation. Most people would rather move to a different country than tell a friend they owe them money or tell a colleague their "reply all" habit is bloody annoying. We explore why everyone has become so sensitive and why "refusing to talk things out" is actually just a slow-motion car crash for your relationships.
