  • Love Song Dedications
    HAPPY TUESDAY #GAPPIES!
    Look at me Kim. Look at moi. Now, I've got one word to say to you, Kim- Richard Mercer.
    Ring a bell?
    He was the LOVE DOCTOR and radio host of 'Love Song Dedications' between 1997-2013.
    He is a true Australian Icon that has vanished into thin air! So where is he when we (JL) need him most...?
    Speaking of love songs... what's yours? What's that song or album that brings you back to a time of pure heartbreak or, dare I say it, love?
    JL introduces you to the woman behind her tears- insert Olivia Rodrigo. And Griz takes us back to Meat Loaf- I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE!
    THEN, it's the story of all stories. JL is involved in an extramarital affair... and, are you even surprised?
    Let's just say it involves getting her eyelashes tinted, which btw, she says is more painful than childbirth (cue email spam from mothers who tend to disagree) and her beauty therapist.
    Griz & JL learn that they are 'hype' girls and say yes to everything... so, where should they draw the line? *Probably an affair*.
    JL recommends a TV series that will pull at your heart strings, because this ep is all about love, and the girls chat about how to tell someone you're not interested!
    Then, they play 'Thank God Your Here', based off the classic Australian TV show.
    It starts with purchasing a house and ends up at the horse races... so GIDDY ON UP!
    Thank you for listening and please subscribe! And, Richard Mercer, if you're out there, we want to DEDICATE this episode to you... *spoken in a soft-sexy-Richard-Mercer tone*

  • Two Girls One Lawnmower
    HELLO FRIENDS/FAMILY AND POTENTIAL HUSBANDS...
    It's Tuesday, which means it's Mind The Gap Day!
    Oh boy, do we have an episode for you this week.
    JL loves the Daily Mail *shock* and stumbled across an article by Liz Jones of a comprehensive A-Z list of things young people "apparently" hate...
    The girls discuss why millennials hate avocados (YES, YOU KNOW THE ONES- shepherd, cough, cough), doorbells and KitKat's (Where are you getting your bogus research from, Liz?!).
    JL goes on one of her usual rants, but this week it's aimed at rock climbers and spicy margs.
    Griz and JL debate whether you can up your iron intake from chicken.
    But then, it's the greatest entrepreneurial collaboration the Mind The Gap girl have had to date- Jizz Mowing Services. Yes, you read that correctly.
    So, whether you want us to mow your lawns, or come on a double date with us- listen and find out how we can turn this into a reality!
    And if you want neither, we don't blame you.
    Thank you for listening to this weeks episode hosted and produced by yours truly Griz @minigriz and JL @jaymelee_jl

  • Sexy Saturday Sessions
    SADDLE UP... Or should we say straddle up...
    It's STORY TIME!
    And by this, we mean Instagram stories.
    They will soon be the demise of JL. That along with many other things.
    JL shares how a male stripper, being 'wine drunk' and posting on Instagram is a recipe for disaster... #ShesJustStretching
    Griz reflects on a time where technology wasn't so readily available and you had to *actually* enjoy a moment. This is a foreign concept for JL.
    The girls also chat about that time JL got upgraded from economy to first class.
    Then they play a game! Griz shows JL a picture of something from her generation and JL has to guess what it is.
    Thanks for listening to this week's ep! Want to hang out with us more? Of course you do! Jump onto our social media where you can watch our TikTok's and entertaining Instagram stories... (no straddling involved).

  • Spill The Lettuce Tea
    Thanks for COMING BACK!
    We've been busy building our own studio! And by building, we mean *trying* to read instructions and put together podcast equipment.
    Imagine the instructions being like Ikea ones. Only 100x worse. So a one day project turned out to be a two week one.
    FERNANDO makes a return to the podcast and Griz pulls JL up on her double standards.
    THEN, JL has had her identity stolen by someone claiming to be her on OnlyFans! Griz's doesn't even understand what that means... but is shocked when she finds out it involves "custom pictures and videos".
    *Insert spooky music* because JL is lured into another Pyramid Scheme.
    Then the girls try the TikTok trend everyone is talking about which claims to give you the best sleep you've ever had. Introducing... lettuce tea. So will they rate it or hate it?
    For bonus points, email [email protected] if you can GUESS that sound!

  • This Is Not A Pyramid Scheme
    Have you ever been duped into a pyramid scheme? Or know someone who has?
    This week, the girls chat about the experiences they've had joining pyramid schemes that has cost them both money and friends!
    JL tells Griz how she recently ended up in one which involved a white lab coat, broken spleen and $620 worth of Chinese herbs.
    And, have you ever heard of, "Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How"- It's the pyramid scheme of all pyramid schemes that Griz got sucked into. Introducing Herbalife!
    Then, the girls conjure up a plan to get JLs money back, seeing as she's now set back $620 *Thanks Jane and Dr Lee*.
    They want to put Pyramid Schemes to the test and see if it really is that easy to persuade someone to join. And there's no one easier than The Man, The Myth, The Mullet- Cam.
    So, can a phone call asking him to invest in Chinese Herbs that will fix your spleen, prove the girl's theory correct?
    Thank you for downloading and listening to this week's episode!
    If you haven't already, please leave us a 5-star review and invest in our "side hustle", (AKA pyramid scheme, cough, cough).

  • Talkin' Bout My Generation
    If you've just joined our journey, welcome!
    If you've been an MTG listener for a while, you've heard of Griz and JLs most recent ventures #Derek #Lips #Mullets.
    So, we thought we'd rewind the clock on this week's ep and take you back to how different things were growing up for Griz & JL.
    It was a simpler time where Griz was on green texts and JL was *borderline* obese- shoutout to McDonald's.
    JL talks about the 'Stay At Home From School Starter Pack', which every millennial who chucked a sickie in the 90s and early 2000s would know!
    Hint: Ready Steady Cook, Dr. Phil and Maury Povich was the line-up...
    Griz relives a time where Countdown was the 'raddest thing ever' and JL can't believe you had to pre-order music! Couldn't you just get it instantaneously?!
    The girls sing Lovecats by The Cure- because you know they love a bit of karaoke.
    Then JL takes us back to iPod days and shares a story that will make you cringe! Yep- her disastrous love life started from a young age.
    Griz and JL play Tune-Arama: where they hum theme songs and have to guess which classic TV show they belong to. We bet you can guess some of them!
    Thank you for listening and taking a trip down memory lane with us! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

  • Dear Zac Efron
    HAVE YOU MISSED US?!
    We've had a two week hiatus. We know you probably needed some down time after all the *lip* talk.
    But speaking of being back... so is DEREK. YUP.
    The girls debate over what you should say when someone says they love you and why Al Dente is an unacceptable pick up line.
    JL is embarking on a reality television show. SPOILER ALERT: it's not a dating one.
    Then we ask, has the art of love letters died?
    Speaking of love, Zac Efron is single, so JL gets Griz to DM him on Instagram. Which was possibly the worst decision she's ever made. And she's made a few bad decisions in her life. True dinks.
    Thanks for listening to this weeks episode! If you haven't already, please subscribe and leave a 5 star review. That would be GROUSE!

  • Lip fillers: but not the ones on your face!
    This week, IT'S ALL ABOUT LIP FILLERS!
    And we're not talking about the lips on your face...
    Yep- Did you know vulva cosmetic surgery is one of the fastest growing cosmetic surgeries?
    We've gone from wanting Kylie Jenner's lips on our face to wanting them DOWN BELOW.
    Then in true JL-fashion we hear a story about the time she created her own "game" with her then-boyfriend to detract attention from getting her lips done. The ones on her face... just to clarify.
    AND: we'll never be ROYAL!
    The girls discuss growing up with the royals from different generations.
    Griz grew up with Lady Diana or as she's more affectionately known, "The People's Princess".
    Meanwhile, JL grew up with the famous suits-actor turned princess- Meghan Markle.
    The girls debrief on 'that' interview with Meghan and Oprah and just how far we've come discussing topics openly, like mental health.
    THEN, it's how to deal with bad in-laws AKA, Griz and Dean (JLs embarrassing parents) ... who once again RUIN JLs love life! THIS IS WHY SHE WILL BE FOREVER ALONE. Well, just one of the many reasons.
    JL flirts with the idea that she may not want to be monogamous... that is until Griz decides she wants to go on a double date with her.
    And HOPEFULLY we make it into the book of the Guinness World Records for saying vulva on the podcast one too many times.
    A big THANKS for listening! Wish us luck on the double date *fingers crossed*!

  • Derek, Ya Neighbour
    HIP HIP HOORAY, IT'S TUESDAY!
    It's story time with Griz & JL... AND we wish we could make this stuff up. Unfortunately, it's all real.
    Meet Derek- JLs new flame. Well, that was until *insert mum and dad* ruined their future.
    It's every young person's nightmare- handing over their phone to their parents *cue sweat*.
    JLs nightmare turned into a reality when her very-own-father decided to double tap a 60-week-old Instagram pic OF DEREK.
    But the story doesn't end there. It involves "bubble tears", a 'trip' in the bush and Derek ending up in hospital.
    Oh, and apparently, we have a new Mind The Gap intern. Thanks, Griz.
    The girls also discuss Reef Oil, JLs dramatic skincare routine and ICE MAGIC! Probably the most nostalgic food of the millennial's generation.
    Then... JL goes viral in china while endorsing kangaroo meat. Once again, we WISH we could make this stuff UP!
    Thank you for listening! If you haven't already, please subscribe and leave a 5 star review. And DEREK, if you're out there- please call JL back.

  • We're Hooked: Meet Escort Samantha X
    HAPPY TUESDAY #GAPPIES! It's ours and *hopefully* your favourite day of the week!
    This ep we are joined by a VERY SPECIAL GUEST.
    We recently celebrated the best day of the calendar year- International Women's Day. Cue Shania Twain- Let's Go Girls!
    So, Griz & JL wanted to have a guest on that lives up to this year's hashtag which was #ChooseToChallenge.
    Meet Samantha X!
    Samantha was a journalist turned high class escort. She is paving the way for women who choose to challenge stereotypes, norms and society's expectations!
    She has written two fantastic books: Hooked: The Secrets of a High Class Call Girl and Back On Top: Confessions of a High Class Escort- which Griz and JL live through vicariously.
    When Samantha is not charging for, "overpriced therapy", as she refers to her escorting, she is ALSO a life and intimacy coach #BossWoman.
    On this episode the girls get down to the nitty gritty of escort life, and like us, you may be surprised... it's actually not ALL about SEX!
    She's turned down many women who have wanted to work for her agency, because there is more to escorting than... well... *insert eggplant emoji's*.
    We discuss why age should hold no boundaries- especially in this role. Ladies, age is your BIGGEST ASSET! And so are curves... GO EAT DAT BREAD AND PASTA GURL.
    The girls also chat about confidence both in everyday life and in the bedroom... what's the secret? Samantha says: FAKE IT TIL YA MAKE IT.
    Then we ask, how can we learn to love our bodies? Rule number 1: Don't ever point out your flaws! Whether it's your cellulite, wobbly bits or uneven eyebrows... MEN DON'T CARE! So, why are we face tuning, attempting burpees and living off celery juice? Our advice? Love yourself.
    And it's the burning question JL wants to know: is monogamy the answer?
    Finally- VANILLA. And we're not talking about ice-cream flavours. Meet Barry, who claimed Samantha X was too sexually adventurous for him #SorryBarry.
    A GIGANTIC THANK YOU to Samantha X for her candid chat with us! Please visit https://samanthaxafterdark.com.au for more and follow her fabulous journey on Instagram here @samanthaxafterdark.
