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:

A turner has been corned! Four years, hundreds of stories, thousands of poop anecdotes. We've finally reached our 200th episode!

Join us as we take a stroll down memory lane, looking back on our best moments: how the show started, where our random catchphrases began, winning an Australian Podcast Award dressed as Moira Rose, Jacob losing his mind over segways, not knowing how bad ‘this weird covid thing’ would be, Rosie trying desperately to get sponsored by Bird In Hand… it’s all in there bébé!

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.

Here’s to 200 more!

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:
