  • And just like that... It's time for Just The Gist to take a bow. For now!
    After 12 million downloads, hundreds of nutso stories and many, many fart jokes, Just The Gist is going on a little hiatus. So I wanted to take a moment to thank YOU, the Gisteners. From the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you for joining us on this crazy segway ride. Thank you so, so much for Gistening. Truly. And remember, this curtain call is 'goodbye' for now, but not forever! There's too many dumb billionaires in the world for JTG to stay away too long.

  • Harrison Okene, a Nigerian ship's cook, faced a remarkable ordeal of survival. In May 2013, he was trapped in an underwater vessel, the Jascon 4, for an astonishing 60 hours before being miraculously rescued. The tugboat had capsized and sunk off the coast of Nigeria while supporting an oil platform.

    Okene found himself within an air pocket in the upturned hull of the ship as it rapidly sank. Struggling against panic, he clung to hope as water submerged the vessel completely. Surviving on Coca-Cola and biscuits, he endured darkness, cold, and the constant threat of drowning. With no means of communication, he remained alone in the depths, unsure if rescue would ever come.

    Meanwhile, a Dutch underwater rescue team, sent to recover bodies, descended to the wreck site. Against all odds, one diver, Nico van Heerden, discovered Okene alive inside the sunken vessel. Okene, disoriented and frightened, initially mistook the diver for a sea creature. Guided by the diver's light, he swam towards safety, rescued from the depths.

    Okene's survival story captured global attention, hailed as a miraculous testament to the human spirit. It shed light on the hazards faced by offshore workers and emphasised the importance of stringent safety measures. His extraordinary tale of endurance and resilience serves as an inspiration, reminding us of the unwavering will to survive, even in the most perilous circumstances.

  • Imagine sitting at your desk at work, a day like any other. All of a sudden you hear a rumbling that gets louder, and louder. Then you look out the window and see it: a massive tank (yes - TANK), covered in guns, coming straight towards your office. You get outside just in time to see this thing completely flatten your building to the ground, then drive away. Um… WHAT?

    That’s exactly what happened in 2004 to the people in Granby, Colorado. Marvin Heemeyer, a local man, was angry at most people in town about a bunch of different nonsense, so he decided to take revenge by spending more than a year modifying a bulldozer into a weaponised war-like tank, which he then drove all over town for several hours destroying everything in his wake. As you do. Local businesses, the town hall, the library, even the police station - all flattened by the Killdozer. And because this thing was indestructible (bullet-proof, bomb-proof, unbreakable steel), there was nothing the police could do, but watch helplessly and hope something - anything - would stop it. It literally got to the point where the army considered dropping a bomb on it so strong it would also destroy the entire town. So what stopped the Killdozer in the end?

  • It's Just The Gist - "F*cking White People" Edition; The story of the 1981 film ROAR.

    A tale of how a rich naive Hollywood couple spent over a decade making a movie that starred them, their kids and 150 lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, ALLL the big cats. The movie was pitched as a "family comedy", but is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous films of all time.

    Roar starred Tippy Hedron (Star of Hitchcock's The Birds and others) her daughter Melanie Griffiths, and the rest of their family.

    The plot is broadly "we can save the world/animal kingdom/lions and tigers etc are all big friendly besties who just are misunderstood and we can live with them in harmony". Sounds cute in theory, maybe in adorable cartoons, but filming with 150 big cats gives very different results.

    Turns out, big cats gunna big cat; the films credits say no animals were harmed in the making of the movie (lies lol), but they don't say anything about how many PEOPLE were mauled, scalped, attacked, and generally not treated as one would hope to be treated at work.

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

    Plus, hearing from YOU - the Gisteners! A great way to get acquainted with JTG if you’re new to the party, and fun memories to re-live if you’re already an old school Gistener.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 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.
