  • A Journey Of Transitioning With Special Guest Jeraldine
    *DISCLAIMER* *TRIGGER WARNING* This content raises topics including transitioning, gender, race, sexuality, identity and emotional abuse.
    Meet the wonderful Jeraldine- a beautiful, intelligent and driven woman.
    But Jeraldine wasn't always a woman.
    From the age of six, Jerry knew she was different. She felt a divine feminine energy from within her.
    But growing up in a strict Mormon household, in Denver Colorado, meant that Jeraldine couldn't be her true self.
    This podcast explores Jeraldine's transition from a man into the wonderful woman she is today.
    As a trans woman of colour, Jeraldine had had her fair share of facing adversity.
    But that hasn't stopped her from living her best life, and #HotGirlSummer !
    We discuss dating, reaching rock bottom and "Eat, Pray, Love moments".
    This story is one of perseverance, following your gut and accepting your true self!
    Thank you, Jeraldine, for sharing your incredible story with us.
    We have learnt so much from you and we can't wait to have you back on Mind The Gap... as long as you give us more hair tips!
    You can find Jeraldine at @medinaallum_jerry and stay tuned for her book release, "My Life In Transition".
    As Jeraldine emphasises,
    "Remember this is my journey and each journey is unique and different to one and all and remember to always seek medical support and advice when starting your journey into transitioning. Never feel alone and seek out help from organizations like trans hub, transhub.org.au
    ACON, acon.org.au. And speak with a good safe psychologist".

  • We've Been Ghosted: We Visit Australia's Most Haunted Site
    HAPPY NEW YEAR GAPPIES!
    This week's ep is as scary as scary spice.
    Q station on north Head in beautiful Manly, is often thought to be an ideal venue for weddings.
    But since JL is never getting married, we decided to check out Q station's ghost tour instead!
    Because what else would we do in our spare time?!
    We invited our tour guide Snowy onto the pod to chat about ghosts, ghouls and ghastly encounters!
    Strap yourselves in for a spooky ride!
    Don't waste your Dine & Discover voucher on boring avo toast. Use it to hang out with the dead instead!

    A big thank you to our amazing guest Snowy- who is killing it, quite literally.
    "Sydney's former Quarantine Station on North Head is reputed to be one of Australia's most haunted sites, with stories of ghosts and paranormal occurrences entwined throughout its history" - Q Station.

    AND MEN, CLEAN UP YOUR ACT AND BATHROOMS: Why do men who live in share-houses have GROSS bathrooms.... In the wise words of Pauline Hanson... pls explain?

  • How Aussie Are Ya?
    G'DAY GAPPIES!
    FAIR DINKUM this is a RIPPING episode! Choc a bloc with our usual antics.
    It's not an MTG ep without a pyramid scheme.... this one involves lingerie.
    JL shares her latest love triangle involving two men, one party and a pair of boots.
    THEN: It's the quiz of all quizzes... How Aussie Are Ya, Mate?
    The girls rank the best Aussie feeds- from spiders (not huntsmans) to potato cakes (or, potato scollops... depending on which state you live in).
    And it wouldn't be an Aussie quiz without a BUNNINGS SNAG.... Which, admittedly, JL has never tried.
    So, sheila's and gents sit back, relax & grab a cold one from the esky!
    TA & HOOROO

  • Is Burrata An Eastern Suburbs Word For Cheese?
    HI GAPPIES!
    It's been TOO LONG!
    JL has found love! But he doesn't know it yet. It's the cop across the road who, wait for it- has a MULLET!
    Speaking of things JL loves, she recently went to Totti's, which is a restaurant in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, renowned for its burrata.
    Griz has no idea what burrata is and asks JL: "Is burrata an eastern suburbs word for cheese?"
    The girls discuss each generations version of a cheese board.
    Griz's included: Kabana (is this a real thing?!), toothpicks with cellophane and cubed cheese.
    On the other hand, JL discusses her lavish cheeseboard: with liver pate, fig jam and truffle cheese.
    Then, the girls did their research and by research we mean Daily Mail, and came across a survey titled, '20 Signs You're Stuck In The Dark Ages According To Millennials'.
    JL is surprised that, as well as Griz, she may too be stuck in the dark ages.
    THEN- a phone call to Totti's takes a turn and we end up on the phone to trusty-old-Gladesville RSL with the GOAT Wendy.
    AS ALWAYS! Thank you for subscribing and supporting us!
    & a big thank you to Forbes Street Studios and Armand!

  • Wait... SpongeBob Isn't A Cheese?
    HAPPY FRIYAY GAPPIES!
    It's the episode you didn't know you wanted but NEED.
    It's a whole lot of nonsense, but who says nonsense is boring?
    JL is shocked to learn that Griz still reads the newspaper... you know, the thing from the 1700s!
    The girls chat about why you shouldn't wear denim shorts on a first date.
    THEN, it's the show on everyone's lips- Squid Games.
    And if you haven't heard of it... do you live under a rock?
    Or, do you live in a pineapple under the sea?
    You know who does live in a pineapple under the sea?
    SPONGEBOB.
    For years, JL thought SpongeBob was a cheese... #SwissBob.
    THEN- a walk in centennial park, a wrong name and potential marriage.
    The girls have a rant to Apple... STOP MAKING NON CONSENSUAL SLIDESHOWS FEATURING EX'S! (And memories too).
    Finally, NSW has announced a lottery for vaccinated residents.
    Which begs the question, what would you do if you won 1 million dollars?
    The girls have some interesting ideas..
    Thank you for subscribing, downloading and listening to this weeks episode!

  • Tourette's, Totally Wild And Taboo Facts With Seamus Evans
    HOWDY GAPPIES!
    Do we have a TOTALLY WILD episode for you!
    This week, we chat with TV & radio host turned Ambassador for Tourettes Association Australia- Seamus Evans.
    At 18, Seamus worked his way into the limelight, hosting Australia's favourite kids show.. Toasted TV!
    He then became a host on Totally Wild, with, wait for it... RANGER STACEY! Where his love for nature and the ecosystem transpired.
    Some would call him Australia's David Attenborough... and by some, we mean Griz & JL.
    Then, it was onto radio for Seamus. Where he dishes some JUICY CELEB GOSS to the MTG girls.
    You will never believe what happened with Forgetting Sarah Marshall Star, Jason Segel! *OMG*
    For 13 years, Seamus was kicking goals and living out his dreams. And he achieved it all- with Tourettes syndrome.
    This is a story of passion, determination and why NORMAL IS BORING.
    A GIGANTIC, BIG, Hyena-6-inch (listen to find out) thank you to Seamus for sharing his personal journey with us! He is an extraordinary individual, who goes to show that you can always achieve your dreams if you put your mind to it!
    You can find Seamus Evans on Facebook and Instagram @mrseamusevans.

  • The Odd Bunch
    HIIII GAPPIES!
    FIRST UP... thank you to everyone who has emailed about our pet rocks!
    Make sure you pre-order them for Chrissy!
    Speaking of rocks, JL is at rock-bottom.
    She's going on a walking date. One which she has postponed for over nine months.
    Griz is excited for her, but also wants her to apply for The Bachelor.
    They both agree that JL wouldn't last on S.A.S and think this would be a much more suited reality show for her.
    Then, the girls chat about why mum's Facebook's are THE ACTUAL WORST!
    Pro tip: If you want to see what someone *really* looks like, go on to their mum's photos section on "The Facebook".
    Griz takes a step back in time and shares her "second" wedding. To the same husband.
    It was on ICE! And by that, we mean, it was actually held on an ice-skating rink...
    And then Griz is shocked to learn something JL has never told her... you'll have to wait until the end to find out.
