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.

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?

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: NUNS ON THE RUN:  Suss out the Poor Clare's wikipedia for a Nun 101 on their order https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_Clares .

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?

He's been called a fortune teller, a prophet, a clairvoyant, a scammer... Nostradamus is said to have accurately predicted every major event in history, from the JFK assassination to 9/11 to the Covid pandemic. His books are still bestsellers, and people still live their lives today according to his readings of the stars, even though the French astrologer has been dead for over 500 years. So was 'Michel de Nostredame' and his most famous book The Prophecies (Les Prophéties) the real deal? How did he so accurately predict things like the existence of Hitler, or the exact year Queen Elizabeth II would die, hundreds of years before it all happened? Or... was he just a travelling salesman who started selling fake horoscopes for money and accidentally lucked into a very profitable scam?  We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this: Watch this doco & try not to get distracted by thinking how much better it would be if Philomena Funk was narrating it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsrc0NHE5Fo This is a great article that's worth a glance https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/future/quack-prophet  Read this translation of a transcription of Nasty's “The Prophecies” in full, or just skim through and see if it gives you, I dunno, visions https://zelalemkibret.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/the-complete-works-of-nostradamus.pdf  Watch this video the guy who reckons he's King Charles' son reacting to Nosty's predictions about the future of the crown https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/eerie-nostradamus-prediction-about-queen-death-stuns-internet-as-major-new-royal-upset-forecast-c-8207977  And here are some listicles covering the dozens of times The Simpsons predicted the future https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/simpsons-future-predictions-accurate-1140775/  https://www.insider.com/the-simpsons-is-good-at-predicting-the-future-2016-11  Follow us on Insta: @justthegistpodcast Send us your suGISTions for stories: justthegistpodcast@gmail.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everybody recognises her picture. 3-year-old Maddie McCann was on holiday with her British parents in Portugal when she disappeared from her bed one night, never to be seen again. Despite international media attention and millions in donations, investigations raised more questions than answers. Who was the man spotted carrying a sleeping child the night Maddie disappeared? Did cadaver dogs really find evidence of bodily fluids in a rental car? Why did Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, leave her and her twin siblings home alone while they went to dinner? What exactly happened in 2007, when little Madeleine McCann disappeared into the Praia da Luz night?

A private jet for every guest, who then walked down a red carpet and got into a custom built limousine, which took them to an opulent bungalow, where they would find an intricate tapestry portrait of themselves on the wall. And that was just the first half hour. In 1971, the Shah of Iran decided to celebrate 2500 years of the Persian Empire by throwing the most expensive 3-day party the world had ever seen. Over a year in the making, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi had an entire city built from scratch in the middle of the desert, complete with its own forest and 50,000 flown-in birds for the important international guests to enjoy. So why did the party end in disaster? Who was on the guest list (including exactly who you'd think from the British royal family)? And how much did the whole thing end up costing?

It was the 30 minute 'documentary' that had an absolute grip on the world. Kony 2012 was the first Youtube video to reach 100 million views in less than a week. Everybody on the planet seemed swept up in the attempt to 'Make Kony Famous'. We shared the video along with the #Kony2012 hashtag. We donated. We agreed to 'COVER THE NIGHT'. Even Oprah was excited. Then, less than two weeks later, it all came crashing down (and the term 'slacktivism' was born). So what was Kony 2012 all about? What was with Invisible Children, Inc., the charity behind it? Why did Kony 2012 director Jason Russell end up naked and ranting on a public street? And, most importantly, what ended up happening to Joseph Kony?

Totally awake. No pain relief. Just straight up raw-dogging surgery. In 1686, King Louis XIV's anal fistula got so bad that he needed to go under the knife. But surgery for an anal fistula didn't actually exist yet. Enter Charles-François Felix, a ‘Barber Surgeon' willing to take on the task, as long as he could practice on as many people as he needed to get it right… All The Sun King had to do next was bite down and get through a three hour anal fistula surgery, the results of which changed the entire course of modern medicine.

In the 1980s Cleveland Ohio was known as 'The Mistake on the Lake'. The city was famous for its high crime rate, high unemployment rate, & a toxic river so polluted it literally caught fire every few months. It was certainly not a destination for tourists, and citizens were moving away from the city at a rapid rate.  City officials decided enough was enough & tried to rebrand Cleveland as a vibrant, thriving, exciting location by hosting a fun, spectacular attempt to win themselves a Guinness World Record by releasing 2 million helium balloons into the atmosphere… what could possibly go wrong??  Jacob shares the story with Adam Densten - one half of Adam & Symon Follow Adam on Instagram @adamdensten and @adamandsymonshow Listen to Adam's podcast 'The Adam & Symon Show' https://link.chtbl.com/MsfHdsVJ  Skip straight to the story: approx 7:15 We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this: Watch some of the news coverage of Balloonfest  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0CT8zrw6lw&t=300s  Check out Treb Heining's biography https://magicmadebydisney.com/2020/08/13/a-disneyland-balloon-boy-the-treb-heining-story-part-1/  Skip to part 2 if you wanna see Treb with Cher and her historic balloon arch ;) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The woman who told the world the truth about the Watergate scandal before anyone else, but her story sounded so crazy that nobody believed her. Now a major TV series starring Julia Roberts called 'Gaslit', Martha Mitchell was the wife of an important man in President Nixon's administration, which meant she knew too much, and the White House wanted to shut her up. But Martha was right about everything, and the way she was treated ended up in psychologists naming 'The Martha Mitchell Effect' after her, which is basically an official form of gaslighting.

On August 4th, 1986, it was discovered that the most expensive painting in Australia, 'The Weeping Woman' by Pablo Picasso, was missing from the National Gallery of Victoria's collection. Turned out it had been abducted by a cheeky new organisation no-one had ever heard of: the "Australian Cultural Terrorists” (the A.C.T) who were holding the painting ransom. Their demands? Increase funding to the arts, or the painting would be incinerated.  Was this really a crime? Or was it more of an act of protest? Or a piece of performance art? Whatever the ACT intended it to be viewed as, it's hilariously funny.  Jacob shares the story with long time friend of the podcast and guest host Stuart Semple.

In 1692, in the small colonial village of Salem, Massachusetts, two young girls started experiencing bizarre, convulsive fits. The doctor's diagnosis? Witchcraft. Over the course of a few months, as more villagers experienced similar strange symptoms, people started accusing their friends and neighbours of practicing black magic. Paranoia spread throughout Salem, and over the following 15 months of mass hysteria more than 200 people were accused, 20 people were executed and 5 people died in prison.

In August 1990, in the badlands of South Dakota, recreational fossil hunter Susan Hendrickson stumbled across some huge fossilised bones lodged into the side of a cliff. While they spent 17 days digging the fossils out of the rock, Susan and her team of fossil hunters realised they'd unearthed the world's largest and most complete T-Rex skeleton. They named the specimen Sue, and soon a decade-long battle began over who owned the bones: the people who discovered Sue? The landowner whose property Sue was found on? The Native American tribe who were the traditional land owners? Or the American government?  Jacob shares the story with guest host Linda Marigliano.

In March 2008, young couple Julian Buchwald & Carolynne Watson went on a picnic in the Victorian bush and didn't come home.

On a summer afternoon in 2003, a man named Brian Wells walked into a bank in Pennsylvania with a bomb strapped to his neck & calmly demanded $250,000. Within the hour, the bomb exploded, Brian was dead, and investigators spent the next decade trying to figure out who was responsible.

In 1964, a Welsh teenager named Brian Robson found himself working a job he hated in a country he hated even more: Australia. He couldn't afford the plane ticket home, so he first tried smuggling himself out of the country by boat, & when that didn't work, he had himself sealed inside a wooden crate and sent as cargo from Melbourne to the UK. What he thought would be an easy 48-hour journey turned into a five day ordeal which almost killed him. Jacob shares the story with guest host Jan Fran.

Presenting one of our most frequently sugGISTed stories: the 17-year-old German teenager who survived a plane crash & an 11 day trek through the jungle. On Christmas Eve, 1971, Juliane Koepcke was on a plane flying over the Amazon. Half-way into the one hour flight, the plane flew into a tropical storm, was struck by lightning and split in half. Juliane was sucked out of the plane and fell more than 3km back to earth, landing alone in the rainforest…alive and barely injured.

In 2016, 34-year-old Sherri Papini vanished while out jogging. Insisting she must have been ‘taken', Sherri's husband Keith Papini organised massive search efforts and wept in TV interviews about wanting her home. And after three weeks, much to the shock of police, Sherri reappeared. Found wandering along the side of a freeway with a chain around her waist, battered, bruised and emaciated with her hair chopped off, Sherri said she'd been abducted by two ‘Hispanic women' who wanted to sex traffic her.   Sherri's return and horrific story made international headlines, but something didn't seem quite right to police, who quietly set about trying to get to the bottom of the whole thing. And 6 years later, in March 2022, the FBI announced they had finally solved the Sherri Papini case…   (Content Warning - this episode features talk about domestic violence.

We've dug into the archives to bring you one of our favourite scam stories: Rudy Kurniawan aka the guy who tricked rich idiots into spending MILLIONS of dollars on his homemade wine. There are people in this world who spend literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on wine - sometimes on a single bottle. These wine 'experts' say they can taste the difference between a fancy bottle and a sack of goon, but... Rudy definitely proved they can't. He made a bunch of wine in his kitchen, slapped some snobby labels on the bottles and SOLD THEM TO RICH IDIOTS FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. And not only did they buy the wine, they INSISTED they loved it, and that it was the 'best wine' they'd ever tasted. Gotta love rich idiots!

Remember how we said we're a weekly-ish podcast? New studio episodes are coming soon (we promise!) but this week we're republishing one of favourites from 2020: the OG Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff who stole up to 100 billion dollars through his fraudulent investment company. Bernie would tell his clients he was investing their money into super successful stocks (and show them the fake statements to prove it) but he was actually funnelling it all into his own bank account to fund his lavish lifestyle. Bernie was eventually busted during the Global Financial Crisis and sentenced to 150 years in prison. He served just over 10 years of his sentence before he died last year.

AKA The White Mouse, AKA total badass. Nancy Wake was a Kiwi Australian nurse and journalist during WWII, which would've been heroic enough, but Nancy wanted to do more. So, she joined the French Resistance, learned how to kill Nazis with her bare hands in one-on-one combat, and spent the rest of the war smuggling Jewish people out of Nazi-occupied territory while gathering intelligence as a Special Operations Executive (AKA JAMES BOND LEVEL SHIT).

Put ten super hot people on a tiny raft. Take it out to the middle of the ocean and leave it there. Wait for the orgies to begin… That's what anthropologist Santiago Genoves thought would happen when he stuck a bunch of attractive people in a small space they couldn't escape - lots of sex, and lots of fighting.

It ended up with famous actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin being sent to prison. Over $25million in bribes exchanged hands. Almost every major elite university in the USA was involved. And at the end of the day, the whole thing came down to dodgy photoshop and cheating on a test. Rick Singer made a fortune when he realised that rich, entitled parents would do anything to get their kids into the best US colleges (seriously - anything. It's wild). But when Rick was busted by the FBI, he quickly flipped and told the agents everything about his 'side door' entry system, leading to a worldwide news frenzy when a lot of very privileged, high profile parents were arrested.

Imagine if two stars as big as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were kidnapped, forced to remarry, and given no choice but to start making movies together for a crazy dictator.  In 1978, that actually happened.  Choi Eun-hee was the most famous movie star in South Korea. Shin Sang-ok was the most famous director. They had a 'Brangelina' level marriage, with millions of people invested in their famous relationship and the movies they made as a mega-famous couple. But when they got divorced and stopped working together, one man decided that simply would not do. Kim Jong-il - son of the dictator of North Korea - had Choi and Shin kidnapped and brought to him. After a bit of light torture and 're-education', it was announced that they would remarry and start making movies again, all for the pleasure and good publicity of the North Korean people. And with the options being 'pretend to be married and make movies or DIE'... well, Choi and Shin got to work making movies.

When Dorothy Stratten arrived in Hollywood as a shy, naive 18-year-old, she had never even been on a plane before.

We love us some rich idiots! And lady scammers!  It was considered one of the most exclusive, snooty art galleries in the world. If you were a gazillionaire, and you wanted to buy a Picasso or a Pollock for a ridiculous amount of money, you went to the Knoedler Gallery and spoke to Ann Freedman. But everything fell apart when someone had their artwork valued at by an expert, and was informed they had spent $17 million on a FAKE. And they weren't the only one - turns out Ann Freedman had been selling fake paintings to everyone in town for years. So where did the paintings come from? How did she have so many? And why did it take so long for anyone to notice, even when there were obvious mistakes like the artists' signatures spelled wrong on all the ‘exclusive' pieces?  Skip straight to the story: approx 16:29 We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this: The 2017 doco "Blurred Lines" that explores how & why the art market became so bonkers: https://tv.apple.com/au/movie/blurred-lines-inside-the-art-world/umc.cmc.4zajoochjr131ibtlaqcs0lzi?action=play  The 2019 doco "Driven to Abstraction" which focuses a lot on the court case against Ann Freedman & Michael Hammer: https://projectr.tv/films/driven-to-abstraction/604514c3907e500001bc07f4 The 2020 doco "Made You Look: a True Story About Fake Art" which features LOTS of interviews with Ann Freedman: https://www.netflix.com/watch/81406333?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C0%2Cb19b1114ce76a7005cfc1e579c63b3bfe52f64e4%3A898b90812c8f5361b5d9e43631e111c33ee14146%2Cb19b1114ce76a7005cfc1e579c63b3bfe52f64e4%3A898b90812c8f5361b5d9e43631e111c33ee14146%2Cunknown%2C%2C Maria Konnikova's book "The Confidence Game": https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-confidence-game-maria-konnikova/book/9780143109877.html This 2012 Vanity Fair article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/05/knoedler-gallery-forgery-scandal-investigation  The Just The Gist LIVE Australian tour is now on sale!

Currently depicted in the new film 'House of Gucci', the story of the Gucci family is almost too outrageous to be real. After Guccio Gucci created the iconic fashion brand in 1921, his children and grandchildren spent decades plotting and scheming against each other for ultimate control of the company, all of which culminated in the shocking murder of Maurizio Gucci in 1995.

In 1967, Australia's Prime Minister went for a swim at the beach and just… never came back. Despite massive widespread searches, no sign of Harold Holt was ever found - no body, no clues, nothing. He was just gone. And of course, because he was our country's leader, the conspiracy theories about what ‘really' happened to him started forming straight away. Did he fake his own death to start a new life? Did the CIA have him killed? Or the Vietnamese army? Was he a spy for the Chinese government who needed to escape by swimming down to a submarine that took him back to China? Or did he just, you know, overestimate his swimming ability, swim out too far at a very rough beach with no lifeguards and get stuck in a rip and drown? (No!

Nellie Bly was just 21 years old when she went ‘undercover' as a patient at an insane asylum in 1887, shocking the world with her vivid reporting on the horrors she witnessed inside. Many consider Bly's work, ‘Ten Days In A Madhouse', the very first example of investigative journalism - no small feat at a time when women were not permitted to be journalists in the first place (unless they agreed to only write about ‘fashion, society and gardening'…).

FKN WOOPS. Two mothers give birth to twins on the same night at the same hospital. They take those twins home, and each raise what they assume are their non-identical twin boys.

Yep - two sets of twins had been mixed up at the hospital when they were born, and it turns out they had been identical all along, it's just that they were sent home with the wrong brother...

Widely considered the greatest literary hoax of modern times, the story of JT Leroy seems almost impossible to believe. Bursting onto the scene in 2001 with a bestselling book and heartbreaking life story, JT Leroy was a 20-year-old writing prodigy who quickly became the celebrity of the hour. He was photographed at A-List parties. Profiled in magazines. Gus Van Sant wanted to make a movie about him. Winona Ryder cried while giving a speech about him. The Smashing Pumpkins welcomed him backstage at their concerts. Madonna wanted him to join Kabbalah.  But JT Leroy didn't exist.  So who was this person? And how did they dupe not just Hollywood, but the entire world?

We've all seen the horrific damage caused by tsunamis - buildings flattened, whole towns destroyed. But what if a tsunami wasn't made of water? What if it was made of… molasses?

Jacob Stanley is the co-host of Australia's number one entertainment podcast Just The Gist.  Growing up, everyone in Jacob's life told him he was gay, so it didn't surprise anyone when he began coming out during high school and in his early 20's. But despite coming out to overwhelming support from his family and friends, Jacob still spent his younger years wishing he wasn't the thing he knew himself to be. In this episode Jacob shares with Sean about suppressing his identity as a kid, the culture shock of moving from the Central Coast of NSW to Sydney, one of the world's most LGBTQIA+ friendly cities, and coming out (and not coming out) at work.

In 1987, there was a news event that brought the entire world together. People did not stop watching their TVs for days - the First Lady of the United States even postponed surgery until she knew the outcome. Eighteen-month-old Jessica McClure had fallen down an old well and was wedged almost ten metres underground for 56 hours. Every news channel that existed had cameras in that tiny backyard in Texas, while the world watched - live - and waited in suspense to see if she'd come out alive.  We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this: The articles Rosie mentioned: LA Times in 1995: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-05-24-mn-5474-story New York Times Magazine in 1995: https://www.nytimes.com/1995/07/23/magazine/death-on-the-cnn-curve.html Good summary: www.history.com/.amp/this-day-in-history/baby-jessica-rescued-from-a-well-as-the-world-watches Jessica on the 30 year anniversary: https://www.time.com/4980689/baby-jessica-30th-anniversary https://www.people.com/human-interest/baby-jessica-on-the-30-year-anniversary-of-her-rescue-from-a-well-her-life-as-a-wife-and-mom Trailer for the TV movie ‘Everybody's Baby: The Rescue Of Jessica McClure':  https://youtu.be/JIPAPTKr0xc Footage of Baby Jessica being rescued:  https://youtu.be/afSChsWNcbQ The podcast about Amazon that Jacob recommended: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/brown-box   Follow us on Insta! @JustTheGist @RosieWaterland @JacobWilliamStanley Send us your suGISTions! justthegistpodcast@gmail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did a little girl in India manage to convince not just her family, but some of the world's biggest skeptics, that she had clear memories of a past life? From the age of four, she recognised words and places that there was no way she could know. She knew intimate details about the man she insisted was once her husband, and recognised people she'd never met, right down to knowing their names and secrets. She knew her way around the detailed streets of a town she'd never been to, and easily pointed out which house she'd once lived in. After studying her for years and putting her to the test time and time again, experts kept coming back to one conclusion: Shanti Devi was the first person to offer real proof that reincarnation is real.  We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this: Shanti Devi's biography “I Have Lived Before”, written by a former skeptic who came to be a believer:  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/601269.I_Have_Lived_Before  Or you can just read a summary of it here: https://www.reincarnationresearch.com/reincarnation-case-of-lugdi-chaubey-shanti-devi-mathur-and-the-orb-phenomenon/  Get to know more about the career of Dr Ian Stevenson, one of the psychiatrists who examined and interviewed Shanti and concluded her story was true:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Stevenson  And read about cases he studied, in which children were born with physical traits that mirrored their past life or even their death:  https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/716499/reincarnation-REAL-proof-life-after-death  If you'd like a jumping off point to find out more about research that scientists are conducting into reincarnation and paranormal activity, here's a good start: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/02/there-is-a-paranormal-activity-lab-at-the-university-of-virginia/283584/  Pooseum article in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/jul/14/pooseum-tasmanian-museum-dedicated-to-poo-wins-three-year-heritage-battle-with-council-over-sign Follow us on Insta! @JustTheGistPodcast @RosieWaterland @JacobWilliamStanley Send us your suGISTions:justthegistpodcast@gmail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

In the 1991, a billion-dollar experiment took place, designed to see if humans could survive in an artificial earth inside a giant glass dome that would eventually be built on other planets. Years was spent building Biosphere 2 in the USA, and inside was an ocean with actual tides and waves, a rainforest, a desert, vast wetlands, a farm with crops, animals, housing and laboratories. ‘Rain' could even be switched on and off. Eight Humans lived inside it for TWO YEARS. So why has hardly anybody has heard of it? Because it was a disaster, none of it worked, and they nearly died. Turns out, despite sounding impressive, this experiment wasn't run by NASA or even scientists, it was run by a bunch of hippies from a cult-like experimental theatre group who had no clue what they were doing, but had duped a billionaire into giving them a lot of money.

“A DINGO’S GOT MY BABY.” That now infamous line is what most people blurt out when asked about Lindy Chamberlain, but there is so, so much more to the story.  At just 9 weeks old, Azaria Chamberlain was snatched and killed by a dingo while the Chamberlain family were camping at Uluru. Despite a desperate search, her body was never found - and that’s when the accusations started. Had Lindy or her husband Michael killed their baby? Why doesn’t Lindy seem emotional enough? How DARE she be attractive? Does Azaria actually mean ‘sacrifice in the wilderness’?  Despite very clear evidence that it had in fact been an awful dingo attack, Lindy Chamberlain became the victim of a nationwide witch-hunt, which would see her end up in prison. It was only years later that the truth came out - some very powerful people had set Lindy up to be found guilty. She never stood a chance.  We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there’s this: Listen to the brilliant podcast series A Perfect Storm, especially if you want to hear the candid recordings of the detectives involved in the case https://open.spotify.com/show/4sADNVGYAf0VnP6TqaBW3i  Watch a fantastic 2020 documentary that unpacks the entire saga.

Arguably the most famous child star the world has ever known, Shirley Temple was so talented that the Vatican sent a priest to confirm the 5-year-old girl wasn't actually a middle-aged woman with dwarfism. The top earning actress and box office earner in the US, Temple was easily the most famous person in the world for most of the 1930s... until she had the AUDACITY to grow a little older (as in, she hit double-digits). So how does someone go from being the youngest person ever to win an Oscar, to struggling to get cast in a movie within just a few years?

Nine Russian hikers go missing in the mountains in 1959. They are found dead soon after, with shocking and unexplained injuries to their bodies (we're talking 'missing eyeballs and exploded hearts' kind of shocking). Authorities find their tent has been cut open from the inside, as if they were trying to escape in an absolute panic. But what were the hikers running from? And what could've killed them in a way that looked like it came straight out of a horror movie? There are theories from aliens to an axe murderer to the Russian government testing secret weapons. But one thing we do know -  whatever happened during the Dyatlov Pass hiking trip, it was truly horrifying.

A man gets on a plane, says he has a bomb, demands $200,000 and a parachute. He gets what he asks for, jumps, AND THEY NEVER FIND HIM. DB Cooper pulled off the only successful plane hijacking in US history, in a case that baffles the FBI to this day. There are many, many theories as to who DB Cooper really was (from it actually being a woman, to a nutso connection to the show 'Mad Men'), but nobody has ever been able to confirm who the person in the famous criminal sketch is for sure, or what happened to him.  We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this: The Mystery of DB Cooper (I kept calling it the 'Disappearance' of DB Cooper but it's actually the 'mystery' MY BAD!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diuo8_VfpRw Stuff You Should Know podcast ep: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-stuff-you-should-know-26940277/episode/sysk-live-the-db-cooper-heist-29467756/ FBI casefile: https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/db-cooper-hijacking Buzzfeed Unsolved ep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHSehKtDyoI Interview with Flight Attendant Tina: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/db-cooper-tina-mucklow-untold-story-1111944/ Prancer the Chihuahua Insta: https://www.instagram.com/prancerthechihuahua/ Get tickets to Rosie's show Kid Chameleon: https://moretalent.com.au/tours/rosiewaterland/ Follow us on Insta! @JustTheGistPodcast @RosieWaterland @JacobWilliamStanley Send us your suGISTtions! justthegistpodcast@gmail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A bunch of people suddenly drop dead for no reason - the only thing they have in common? They had all just taken tablets for a headache. It doesn't take long for doctors and police to figure out that the painkillers they had taken were laced with cyanide - and the whole world went into a TOTAL PANIC. How did a deadly poison get into tablets that pretty much everyone has in their home? Who put the cyanide in there? And why? The Chicago Tylenol murders and the Excedrin murders of the 1980s are the reason we now sell all medications in tamper-proof packaging, because back then, anyone could open a bottle of headache tablets up, put poison in the capsules, then put it back on the shelf in the pharmacy without anybody noticing. You just had to hope you weren't the one who picked up the headache tablets that could kill you...

Otherwise known as the biggest dick measuring contest of all time (according to Rosie), this is Just The Gist of two of the first men to discover dinosaur bones back in the 1800s. So many fossils and dinosaurs were being discovered at the time that they called it 'The Great Dinosaur Rush', because every time you discovered a new dinosaur, you got to name it and go down in the history books as the OFFICIAL CLEVER MAN WHO FOUND THIS DINOSAUR. But did Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh play fair in this rush to discover new dinosaurs? Of course they didn't! They let their egos get in the way, and in the race to be the bestest, most importantist dino digger, they actually started DESTROYING fossils just so the other guy couldn't find them. That's right - there could be hundreds of dinosaurs that we'll never know about because these two guys smashed them up like babies. So who won The Bone Wars in the end?
