  • We're Buying An Excavator
    ELLO ELLO GAPPIES!
    WE'RE BACK! We needed a week to recuperate from AJ's sex tips- and if you haven't listened to that ep yet... GO BACK!
    This week JL has a spicy recipe for Hot Girl Summer... just mix paprika with Chobani yoghurt.
    The girls get on to the topic of "leaving the lights on during..." you can fill in the blank.
    Which brings us to salt lamps, lava lamps and OMG plasma ball lights... surely, you know the ones?!
    BUT THEN, probably our best idea to date! And we've had a few entrepreneurial ventures.
    Let's just say, this one ROCKS!
    We are selling Pet Rocks for Christmas- personalised by yours truly!
    But in order to get the rocks, we need an excavator OBVS...
    So, we decide to hop on the old GumTree and find ourselves an earth moving machine, which btw, are pretty exxy.
    We speak to three sellers- 2/3 who are all aboard the pet-rock idea.
    Seller number 1, Adam, suggests that driving an excavator is just like using a joystick on a playstation.
    He also thinks Griz is pretty mechanically inclined... little does Adam know #Bless.
    Seller number 3, doesn't want a bar of JL- which makes her question how welcoming the excavation community really is.
    The moral of the story is that we know picking Christmas presents for everyone can be challenging at the best of times. So why not give the gift EVERYONE WANTS?! A Pet Rock, DUH!
    Move over Santa- the MTG girls are here to SAVE CHRISTMAS.

  • Sex Education With Missionary Expert AJ
    Happy Friday Gappies!
    ABBA have released a new song and we've released a new ep... LIFE IS GOOD (Yes, we're comparing ourselves to ABBA).
    PSA If you have little ones in the car- we suggest switching over to the Wiggles because this ep is DEDICATED TO THE BIRDS AND THE BEES!
    Meet AJ. With over 4 million likes on TikTok... he's obviously doing something right!
    Adult boutique store manager and sex education teacher, AJ, decides it's time to teach the girls a thing or two...
    We chat about OnlyFans, porn and why learning your partners love language is the key to a successful relationship!
    And, in the famous words of the spice girls it's time to SPICE UP YOUR LIFE! Just don't bring cayenne pepper into the bedroom!
    So, get out your notepad ladies and gents- you're in for a rough ride. Pun intended.
    Make sure you follow AJ on TikTok at @ajpaps and Instagram @ajpapadatos and @missionarytomadame

  • Very Nice: A Tribute To Borat And Kazakhstan
    HELLO, HI AND WELCOME GAPPIES!
    First up, we sincerely apologise about the quality of our podcast this week. We have hosted this over Zoom, because #Lockdown tings.
    BUT A PANDEMIC CAN'T AND WON'T STOP US!
    This podcast is dedicated to the people of Kazakhstan, because we are currently ranked #246 in society and culture there.
    As Borat would say, VERY NICE *thumbs up emoji*.
    Naturally, the girls are on a mission to get Borat, AKA Sacha Baron Cohen on the POD!
    If that means we have to dress up in the iconic neon-green one piece, which leaves NOTHING to the imagination... then that's what we'll do!
    The girls find out OnlyFans has stopped users from sharing explicit content.... And Griz asks if this was because her and JL were close to signing up #FairEnough.
    In bigger news... there's a HOT NEW WIGGLE ON THE SCENE AND WAKE UP JEFF, I MEAN AUSTRALIA, THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
    JL does a quiz to reveal how sexually frustrated she is, it involves a crispy chicken patty, bacon and ketchup. Don't ask.
    AND if you're a MTG true fan (sidenote: we need T-shirts), you'll know the girls aren't great with geography. But for some reason decide it's a good idea to do a quiz that tests their knowledge on Kazakhstan... and you already know how well this ends.

  • I'm As Single As Your Single Bed
    HEY HEY IT'S TUESDAY!
    First up JL serenades us with a lockdown song that is as painful to listen to as Glady's 11 a.m. press conferences.
    JL has beef with Uber Eats... they're ruining her Hot Girl Summer. Not because of the calories... because they have EVIDENCE of her having a Fat Indoor Girl Summer.
    Then the girls chat about the Census, Easy Off Bam and kayaking.
    JL wants to take up tap dancing as a new hobby in lockdown. Griz calls Nicole from Gumtree to purchase some secondhand tap shoes.
    While we're on gumtree... JL spots a single bed, which is fitting for her current single circumstance in lockdown.
    Poor Toby from Gumtree is on the receiving end of JL's woes... and can't quite control his laughter at her expense.
    Thank you for downloading and listening! You can follow our tap dancing and bunk bed journey below...

  • Never Have I Ever
    Bored in lockdown? Or just need some lighthearted entertainment- we've got you covered!
    The girls play 'Never Have I Ever'.
    We find out Griz has a crush on Keith Urban, and let's face it, who doesn't? ILY KEITH!
    JL has bin dived after a drunken night out... and yes, this was a low point. *You're trash kid*.
    The girls chat about fake ID's, hitchhiking and World Bar (R.I.P Kings Cross).
    While Griz may seem like a sweet, little, innocent woman... she's not on the road. Insert Road-Rage-Griz. If you spot a red Mini Cooper in the street, watch out.
    THEN, it's the burning question JL has been dying to ask Griz, "Have you ever sent a nude pic?!"
    And while we're on the topic of Nudes... JL is on the Only Fans bandwagon again. But this time it involves feet.
    And please tell us you remember KONY2012?
    When we're not training for our marathon, or planning Griz's wild-night-out you can find us here...

  • The Golden Girls: An Olympic Special
    HEY GAPPIES!
    In worrying news, JL has matched with a mathematician... and it's not adding up.
    Speaking of maths, she was also in a love triangle #Geometry, once upon a time. Did someone say, Ménage à trois?
    And is your MOON IN TAURAUS? Griz doesn't even understand what that means. Meanwhile, JL believes her relationship and money problems is all because of Mercury in Retrograde.
    And with all this spare time in lockdown... the girls give Olympic commentating a crack. Heads up: it's as bad as it sounds.
    You have to be well equipped in the sporting arena, and knowing where countries are, is probably a bonus.
    Thank you for downloading, subscribing, reviewing our pod! *VIRTUAL HUGS*

  • JL, You Did Not Receive A Rose
    ARE WE GOING TO INTRO THIS EP WITH A TERRIBLE-RENDITION OF NIKKI WEBSITER'S STRAWBERRY KISSES? YOU BETCHA, WE ARE!
    We're a bit late to the party this week.
    It's probably because we can't keep our eyes off the Olympics. HELLO HOTTIES, cough, I mean very talented athletes.
    Speaking of the Olympics, there's things JL regrets in life, like missing out on an olympic-career, not leveraging her metabolism as a teen.... But this one takes the CAKE. Or, should we say rose, as it involves Australia's very own bachelor!
    Speaking of #RAGRETS, we take a look back at the evolution of Griz's hair. Let's just say, her hair has shaped the decades. Thank goodness for hair straighteners and *qualified* hairdressers, is all we can say.
    Then, whether it's sending an email or ordering a hamper for an ill-client- activate spiral-mode. Could this be worse than JL's online recipe rant? Listen to find out.
    AS ALWAYS thank you for choosing to spend your oh-so-precious time with us. Stay safe Gappies xoxo
    Please subscribe to our podcast and leave a 5-star review, we will be forever grateful!

  • Don't Use An Egg Beater In The Bedroom
    Hello and WELCOME BACK!
    It's Tuesday, but for Sydney-siders and our fellow Victorians- we're not actually sure what day it is.
    Because we're in the dreaded- L word *lockdown*.
    But never fear because the Mind The Gap girls are here to save your day and distract you from your annoying housemates, restless children and Zoom calls.
    The girls discuss how they're travelling during lockdown and in particular, JL, because she's #ForeverAlone.
    Then, it's the convo no child wants to have with their mum- it's the P word. Rhymes with corn.
    Then, be prepared to never look at a useless-kitchen-utensil the same again. Introducing the egg beater.
    And surely, you've watched Sex Life... and if you haven't we're sure you've heard about the *insert big eggplant emoji* scene?
    Griz has... and she's not impressed.
    Speaking of men, Mullet Man joins the girls. He's a seasoned-pro at lockdowns, so the girls grab some very helpful tips off of him.
    On another side note about men: they are trying to pick up JL by asking about her dead cat. She's also not impressed.
    And finally- it's a topic that has been debated for centuries... what are fridge vs. pantry items? Basically, if you store your choccy in the fridge you're obvs a mass murderer.
    Thank you for listening wherever you are in the world! We *strongly suggest* egg beaters to be left in the kitchen and not in the bedroom.

  • A Recipe For Disaster
    Hello GAPPIES!
    Happy Tuesday to all of you, and especially our Sydney-siders.
    It's been a tough few weeks- so we hope we can give you a laugh today!
    The girls chat about sport in lockdown, which allows them to reflect on their childhood sporting dreams.
    JL tells a time where she thought she would be scouted as a professional soccer player... #BendItLikeJayme.
    Griz believes she was once a member of the Commonwealth Games... Although JL thinks that's questionable.
    THEN- Bad Grandpa strikes again. We are working on deactivating his Facebook.
    The girls become "Brand Power: Helping You Buy Better" as they play rate it or hate it with a new Cinnamon Donut Loaf and a Watermelon and mustard combo.
    Griz & JL take it back to the ICONIC Coffee Club- an early 2000 staple brunch spot, before the word brunch was added to the dictionary.
    Then it's the rant of all rants: Why does every internet recipe give you a life-long backstory before providing the *actual* recipe.
    No chocolate cakes were harmed in the making of this episode.

  • Bad Grandma
    Our favourite day of the week is here... hoping it's yours too *fingers crossed emoji*!
    IT'S TUESDAY- Which, you will soon find out, JL doesn't know how to spell *shaking head emoji*.
    You've met Bad Grandpa, now meet Bad Grandma- babushka!
    Griz calls in some extra support to help find JL a man... and who better than Griz's mum and JL's grandma!
    Babushka shares her dating advice, like what to wear on a date and why you need... a texta?
    Then, apparently JL is going to hell.... YIKES.
    And it's the age old question, answered by three generations... can you sleep with someone on the first date? Or as Bubschka says, have "intercourse".
    THEN, JL makes Griz try Woolworths new D.I.Y Bubble Tea Kit and a few other nostalgic foods.
    We apologise for saying that Monte Carlo is in Italy... we never said we were good at geography.
    PSA to all Sydney men, don't be frightened if JL comes up to you and asks you about cereal in the supermarket...
    Once again, thank you for subscribing, downloading and listening every Tuesday!
