  • The Man, The Myth, The Mullet
    JL IS LEAVING MIND THE GAP!
    Yup- she's found a job that requires no skill (which suits her perfectly) and she can do it from the comfort of her own bedroom!
    Which gets the girls on the topic of how different 'work' is for these two generations.
    In Griz's gen they used typewriters and probably delivered letters via owls.
    The millennials, on the other hand, are creating their own roles- influencers, podcasters, YouTubers- you name it.
    On a side story (you guys know we love a good side story), Griz spills the beans on what really happened to JL's beloved bunny- Billy.
    Let's just say Billy went to the "farm" and we all know what that means.
    And vajazzling. This needs no further explanation.
    Then it's our fave guest to date- he goes by, 'Mullet and Thumbs Up Emoji' expert.
    Introducing Cam. Get ready to rewind to the 80s- mullets, flanno's, Winnie Blues and Faberge jeans that, as Cam highlights, "didn't leave much to the imagination".
    Speaking of imagination- we're sure you can conjure up an image of how Cam looked in the 80s (Aussie bogan, cough cough).
    Cam's bald now (sorry Cam), but he endearingly reminisces on pre-bald days, where his thick luscious mullet landed him the woman of his dreams. And JL wants to know HOW!
    Although... she is a BIG fan of the mullet-calling all boys with mullets, or as cam likes to call them "pretenders".
    Thank you for joining us spunk rats! We had an ace time and hope you did too!
    And if you haven't already, a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts would be grouse!

  • It's Gettin' Hot In Here: Magic Mike Live
    LISTEN OUT FOR OUR COMPETITION! Tag us @mindthegappod and @magicmikeliveau and show us your best dance moves on your socials! There are 6 tickets up for grabs! Get them while they're HOT!
    It's the episode you didn't know you wanted. BUT IT'S HERE AND IT'S HOTTER THAN EVER!
    Outside the studio it's hot and sunny, but inside... IT'S RAINING MEN.
    The girls chat to the incredible cast of Magic Mike Live!
    Talk about a *tough* day in the office.
    We banish the stereotypical male stripper role and get into the nitty gritty.
    We find out what goes on behind the scenes- preparation and casting and why having a 6 pack won't guarantee you a role in the show.
    Channing Tatum had a dream to create a live production where women's desires were met. And, as Magic Mike Live's Dance Lead Anthony Bartley, says ... "What you want you can have... you've just gotta ask for it".
    Well, we asked for an incredible group of boys and we received. Wishes really do come true!
    We laughed, danced and GOT MARRIED.
    PLEASE do us and yourself a favour and see this fantastic live production. Add this to your self-care to-do list. Because face masks and reading books is overrated.
    Just be aware that your Apple Watch might tell you to breathe throughout the show because it GET'S HOT & HEAVY. But hey, you'll burn some calories!
    Thank you to the boys Brian, Kit and Anthony from Magic Mike Live AU for sitting down with the Mind The Gap Girls.
    You can follow the production on Instagram at @magicmikeliveau and the boys @briansegnaro @anthonybartley and @kitclark_23.
    You can purchase tickets here: https://magicmikelive.com.au or ENTER OUR COMP for freebies!

  • Are pheromones the secret to attraction?
    HAPPY TUESDAY GAPPIES! AKA best day of the week because you get to listen to us!
    The girls invited relationship and dating expert, Melissa Ferrari on the show. Since they have absolutely no qualifications nor *good* experience in this space.
    It's the questions you've always wanted to know but have been too afraid to ask.
    So we chat to Melissa to get ANSWERS!
    Do we go for men like our dads? EW.
    And smell. No, we're not talking about early 90s Fahrenheit cologne. Well, Griz is.
    We also ask Melissa about the P word that has been doing the rounds on the dating scene for a while... PHEROMONES.
    Do they exist? What are they? And is this why we're sexually attracted to some people and not to others?
    Erin and JL coin the term "Ghost Contract" whereby you enter into a mutual ghosting agreement. YAY! Everyone wins!
    They also discuss "Instagram baiting"- and just how low girls will go for content creation! You better be doing acrobatics and hanging from chandeliers to get those DM SLIDES!
    DRUM ROLL PLEASE...Erin is going to be a STEP MUM! Well, not really. But she wishes.
    Then... a story that involves dreadlocks, deception and a daddy...
    Introducing #DreadlockDaddy.
    The girls want to go on a double date... so is anyone up for the challenge with us?
    Thank you for joining us this week! And if you haven't already, we would really appreciate a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts! Thank you.

  • Bad Grandpa
    HAPPY TUESDAY #GAPPIES!
    Today we introduce you to the infamous Baz- Griz's dad and JLs Grandpa.
    At 75 he drives a Nissan Celica, drinks XXXX Gold and loves his women.
    Griz and JL have recently discovered that women also love him after a few *personal* photo exchanges.
    AND PSA TO ALL OUR BABY BOOMERS: whatever you post on FACEBOOK IS PERMANENT!
    The girls also talk about the time they received free bakers delight bread for over a year. Bring back cheesy mite scrolls and coconut finger buns!
    JL goes on a rant about Apple Watches and the passive aggressive notifications that keep asking her to STAND!
    JL comes up with a grand plan to help her get her activity count up... calling all Uber Eats' cyclists.
    Griz has a *slight* obsession with the news- so, the MTG girls do a quiz called 'What's Trending' to see if they're up to date with current affairs. Spoiler alert- they're not.
    Thank you for joining us this week- if stupid COVID didn't exist we would hug you all!
    Please subscribe and feel free to drop us a five-star review... do it for Grandpa Baz!

  • If the car's a rockin' don't come a knockin'
    JL IS FORVER ALONE.
    Her future is looking a lot like 'lady-with-nine-cats'.
    That is until THE INFMAOUS EMAIL. Someone has sent Griz an email asking JL out...
    Yay! Chivalry isn't dead.
    JL tells Griz a secret she's kept close to her chest for years... Let's just say Griz is #Triggered by #ContaminatedGoods...
    Then- get ready for how-to-not-bump-into-your-ex. JL commando crawls around Bondi Icebergs *insert hand to face emoji*. Sorry Fernando!
    JL invents a game to get rid of an old flame- and learns the hard way that nothing good ever comes from a lie.
    Griz swipes through JL's Tinder- and get ready to laugh wherever you are in the world (that means you AJ 15,635 Kilometres away).
    Thank you for listening!
    Please subscribe and feel free to drop us a five-star review if you're feeling *naughty or nice*!

  • Just freeze your eggs already!
    OMG Erin Bouda is joining the MTG girls again! The OG (original for our older gen) gang is back together.
    So, where do we start? Did Uncle Bill find Erin love?
    Griz and JL have mislead Erin under false pretences... we've got another guest joining us.... This time it's one of Erin's old flames! YIKES!
    Seamus Evans joins the girls on the podcast to answer all of our burning questions.
    We talk about adult sleepovers, why Tinstagram is the LATEST and greatest dating app that *sidenote* you already have!
    But apart from their happily-never-after relationship... Seamus answers the questions we ALL want to know.
    Like why your "booty shots" might not be landing you any dates.
    He also breaks down the idea of a fairy tale happily ever after... making us question WHAT IS THE POINT AND WE MAY AS WELL JUST FREEZE OUR EGGS LADIES.
    Any who, we also talk about flap snaps. Yep. You read that correctly.
    Thankyou for listening, reviewing, following and joining us this week!

  • Map of Tassie
    HEY, HI, HELLO to our #MTG gang! Griz and JL are super excited to have you back! Listening to wherever you are.
    We recently found out that some of you are listening on Google home! We love being on the surround sound in your kitchen, lounge room and... bedroom? Hey... whatever floats your boat!
    The girls talk about technology and how it's changed over time. JL is shocked to learn that Griz grew up with only three TV stations. WHAT?! Where was Netflix, Friends and what is ThunderBirds?
    JL offers her best Moira Rose impersonation... *insert bébe´*.
    JL also learns that Tasmania is called the Apple Isle... and that Tassie also has a lot of bed and breakfasts. Where Griz spent her Schoolies. Playing backgammon.
    The girls discuss Mystery trips, and how Griz worked in politics once-upon-a-time. Oh, and she also got stuck on a roundabout and couldn't get off... in the Commonwealth car of Australia.
    And get ready for a game that puts both of their geography skills to the test! Let's just say it's lucky none of them ended up as teachers.
    Thank you for listening, subscribing and reviewing Mind The Gap!
    Please tell your mates, bartender, PT and teachers! Maybe not your geography ones.

  • Bum Bum Cream and Dolly Doctor
    HOWDY! Thank you for joining us this week!
    Griz and JL take it waaaaay back with stories of roller skating in the 70s.
    Griz tells JL she spends an exorbitant amount of money on "bum bum cream". But are the results worth it?
    The girls also talk about new age things- plastic surgery, face filters and ONLY FANS.
    They skip 14 years of medical school and become their very own "Dolly Doctors".
    They phone a few friends and you'll be laughing wherever you're listening from!
    Thank you for downloading, subscribing and listening this week.

  • Solariums, Sizzler and So Fresh
    Probably one of our favourite episodes YET!
    The girls deep dive into NOSTALIGIA: We're talking 90s and Noughtie's BABY!
    It's a trip down memory lane... Griz and JL talk about Video Ezy & Blockbuster and will Netflix ever compare?!
    They're on a mission to SAVE SIZZLER! Yes. You could call them philanthropic....
    But if that isn't enough to TAKE YOU BACK, how about solariums, roll up's, LCM bars, Black Eyed Peas and GWEN STEFANI!
    Yep. We cover it all. Oh and Griz shares her "pole dancing" and "lollipop lady" days...
    We will give you a belly laugh- so take us with you on your walk, road trip or GYM SESH. Listen however you like... we don't mind.
