episode 197: GREATEST HITS: Nuns on the Run & Jacking Off A Dolphin
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...
episode 196: Breakin’ Nooz: Elizabeth Holmes OUTPLAYS US AGAIN
At least her lawyers do. Plus! South Africa is a few sleeps away! Will Rosie survive having to be in… nature? And! Jacob explodes with his biggest laugh since #SegWay - what Nooz did Rosie bring to make him lose it? Also! Nobody has been singing the song ‘B.I.N.G.O’ correctly - even you.

episode 195: Kris Jenner
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...
episode 194: Breakin' Nooz: Geriatric Millenials have a new (better!) name
And! #FOILGATE continues. Plus! Of course Elon's dick exploded; is anybody surprised? Also! Producer Lindsey is leaving us! (And Rosie is very jealous about where she's going.)

episode 193: The Heaven’s Gate Cult
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...
episode 192: Breakin' Nooz: ROSIE HAS BEEN BETRAYED
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

episode 191: GREATEST HITS: The 1981 Trashman Yacht Sinking
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...
episode 190: Breakin' Nooz: Singing along at concerts to be... BANNED?
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.

episode 189: The Hindenburg Disaster
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...
episode 188: Breakin' Nooz: we're going to South Africa!
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.
