Just the Gist

Take a dive with us into the vault - we're bringing you two of our favourite and wild stories from our live tour era.

First, Rosie reveals the "sensual" relationship between a 23-year-old woman named Mary and a dolphin named Peter. And then Jacob takes us on a journey with the tale of bad ass nuns; after the church all but abandoned them they sold their convent, and all the priceless artefacts within, bought a castle, and lived the highlife they'd never had. But the story doesn't end there. 

We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this:

THE DEVIL WORKS HARD BUT KRIS JENNER WORKS HARDER. This week we give you just the gist of the woman who created the Kardashian/Jenner empire. The woman who is now worth a quarter of a billion dollars and is considered one of the most powerful managers in Hollywood. The 'Momager' herself, Kris Jenner.

So how does someone go from wealthy housewife who lunches and plays tennis, to media mogul and creator of the new American Dynasty? How did she get so good at branding her kids that Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner became two of the richest women in the world? Where exactly did Kris Jenner learn what she knows? 
You'd be surprised...

We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this:

In 1987, San Diego police discovered the bodies of 37 people in a house. They all had matching haircuts, matching outfits, and infamously - matching Nike sneakers. These were the members of the Heaven’s agate cult, and they had decided to ‘graduate’ from their human forms, so they could ride the Hale-Bopp comet to Heaven.

Led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles (also called ‘Ti and Do’), Heaven’s Gate initially seemed like a bunch of of eccentric alien believers, until they orchestrated one of the most shocking mass suicides in modern history. (Unless you believe them, in which case, they just hitched a ride to Planet Heaven on a spaceship comet and lived happily ever after.)

This episode deals with suicide and body mutilation so please take care while listening. If you want to talk to someone about it, Lifeline is available 24 hours a day on 13 11 14.

We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there's this:

Potato was the correct choice. Plus! Nobody can agree if this word has one syllable or two (and half of you are absolutely wrong). Also! Millennial worlds collide as Mischa Barton is set to star on Neighbours (but will she wear jeans under a dress?). Also! The world is running out of helium and that’s…not great

We've got so many great stories in the JTG back catalogue, but a few really stand out as Greatest Hits. And with so many new Gisteners joining us every day, we thought we'd occasionally revisit some of the old faves.

We told the story of the 'Trashman' yacht sinking way back in 2021, and since then it often pops up as an 'all-time favourite' mention. Strap in Gisteners, it's a WILD ride:

This has been called one the worst shark attack stories of all time. After their yacht, ‘The Trashman’, sank in a major storm, five crew members were stranded in the middle of the ocean in a tiny inflatable dinghy. That number soon turned to four. Then three. Then two. Sharks were circling them, taking the crew one by one. But not before starvation and thirst caused them to mentally unravel and turn on each other (seriously - one crew member got so delirious they started acting like a possessed zombie).

We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there’s this:

‘I Shouldn’t Be Alive’ (Season 1, Episode 1) - available on Amazon Prime: News article about the sinking: www.newsweek.com/woman-fiends-eaten-sharks-capsized-atlantic-1453952%3famp=1

And! You've definitely been the victim of 'Sushi Terrorism', and you didn't even know it. Plus! The guy who accurately predicted the internet reckons humans will be able to do THIS in 8 years. Also! Rosie and Caleb got a surprise kitten and of course Caleb has insisted on the worst name possible.

Oh the humanity!

They called it "the Titanic of the sky”. It was the length of five Olympic sized swimming pools and would fly a few hundred metres above the ground transporting wealthy passengers from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, and came complete with a dining room, a Sunday prayer service and even a smoking room. 

But it was essentially a bunch of hydrogen-filled balloons floating in the sky that could catch fire the moment they were exposed to even a small spark...which is exactly what happened on May 6th 1937, when the Hindenburg's 63rd voyage from Frankfurt to New Jersey ended in disaster.

The Hindenburg was the largest airship ever built and its crash remains one of the most famous aircraft disasters in history, thanks to the graphic footage of the explosion and the chilling radio commentary of reporter Herbert Morrison.

We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there's this:

And! She's GWYNNOCENT! Plus! The 3-year cruise that's cheaper than living in Sydney. Would you consider it? Also! An American Girl doll has been released to teach kids about the 'historical' times of... 1999?!? (Elder millennials can attest it's PRETTY FREAKIN' ACCURATE THOUGH.)

I wish you well.
