    Just The Gist of... The battle between the two versions of 'How Do I Live'

    In 1997, a little film starring Nicholas Cage premiered in theatres called CON AIR. It was a huge blockbuster, helped massively by having a hit song to go along with it, called ‘How Do I Live’. But there were actually TWO versions of ‘How Do I Live’ released at the same time. Singers Trisha Yearwood and LeAnn Rimes both released their own version of exactly the same song, on exactly the same day, but only one was officially part of the movie Con Air, and most people, to this day, don’t realise which version they were listening to back in 1997. In fact, most people don’t realise that both versions of the song were nominated for a Grammy, but only one took out the prize. And only one went down in history as a record-breaking phenomenon. https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/diane-warren-leann-rimes-how-do-i-live-billboard-moment-8528199/  https://medium.com/@cherriebalictar/how-do-i-live-leann-rimes-vs-trisha-yearwood-what-really-happened-64550eed6508  https://americansongwriter.com/on-this-day-in-1997-leann-rimes-and-trisha-yearwood-simultaneously-release-different-versions-of-the-same-song/  https://americansongwriter.com/leann-rimes-reflects-on-having-her-song-rejected-by-hollywood-at-15-years-old-and-how-it-still-made-history/  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbwuRKpfmCA  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Do_I_Live  https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/flashback-leann-rimes-trisha-yearwood-make-awkward-grammy-history-167853/  https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.chicagotribune.com/1997/09/05/yearwoods-on-the-rise-after-winning-song-war-with-leann-rimes/  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dFeYsl8Dsr0  https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/live-long-and-prosper-1044103/  https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1997/Billboard-1997-06-07.pdf Hosted on Acast.

    JTG MINI: Steven Bradbury

    In 2002, five men were racing in the 1000 metre short-track speed-skating final at the winter olympics in Salt Lake City. The only Australian in the race - Steven Bradbury - was not considered a medal-contender. He spent most of the race in last place - far behind the four other skaters duking it out for the gold, silver and bronze. But then, with just 50 metres of the race to go, the four skaters in the lead all crashed out on the very last bend, and Steven Bradbury was so far behind them that he was able to avoid the pile-up and sail past them and across the finish line, to be awarded Australia’s first ever gold medal at a Winter Olympic Games, and bringing the term ‘doing a Bradbury’ - meaning being extremely lucky to unexpectedly come from behind and win because of someone else’s mistake - into everyday vernacular. BUT, what a lot of people don’t know, is that Steven Bradbury’s race wasn’t just about luck - he actually had a strategy that paid off in the end. This is Just The Gist MINI of Steven Bradbury.  ..... We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's Breakin' Nooz, JTG After Show AND Bonus eps!

    BREAKIN' NOOZ: We live only for Ice Dancing now (and the Gold Coast Suns).

    It's not news, it's NOOZ! Rosie Waterland gives just the gist of the week's most important nonsense. Episodes drop every Tuesday (along with a bunch of other bonus episodes!) for members of The Gistener Club, which you can access via the Just The Gist Patreon right here or through Apple Premium Subscriptions!  This week: I am officially obsessed with the Gold Coast Suns - an AFL team I only just heard of in a sport I know very little about - because they asked me to record an ad for them and they let me do it the way I imagine a 'SPORT AD' would be and it's the funniest thing in the world and now everybody is messaging us saying they love the Gold Coast Suns now because they let us do such a funny ad, so naturally I am offering myself up as the new face of the Gold Coast Suns. (Become a Gold Coast Suns member right here! They didn't even ask me to link this! I'm just so excited to have been asked to be part of a sport thing!) More Beckham dramaaaaaaah, with Team Beckham sending Gordon Ramsey and LIL TINY BABY (she's 14 btw) Harper onto the frontlines. Vale James Van Der Beek, the People's Ugly Crier. Winter Olympics on Winter Olympics on Winter Olympics! Gold medal shoe-in Ilia Malinin didn't quite defy physics when he fell a bunch of times and didn't even make the podium (see how I talk like I'm an expert now?), and we wonder whether in all that intense Russian-style training, his parents forgot the 'mental strength' side of things. We watched Glitter and Gold on Netflix and are therefore now experts in, and obsessed with, the Ice Dancing Pairs competition at the Olympics in which the American Team were ROBBED by the dodgy French judge AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. The AUDACITY of the Norwegian biathlete who used his bronze-medal winning press conference to apologise to the girlfriend he'd cheated on, and the EYE-ROLL in her official response was all *chef's kiss* The Olympic village ran out of condoms in three days but we have questions about the condoms themselves ie is there official branding like at the White House? (I mean like the White House has official branding on things like mugs and pens but tbh probs also condoms maybe?) SIZZLER IS COMING BACK. But to the most random location! But we're still going to be there on OPENING DAY. (Does anyone have a contact as Sizzler so we can be there on opening day?) Other stuff! ...

    Just The Gist of… Tyra Banks (and her history of bizarre business failures).

    With this week’s premiere of Netflix’s ‘Reality Check: America’s Next Top Model’, it seemed like a good time to take a look into the history of the Smize Queen herself: Tyra Banks.  You know her as the creator and host of America’s Next Top Model. You know her as a Victoria’s Secret Model. You know her as the woman who yelled, “WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU. WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!” But do you know Tyra Banks as the boss of several (failed) businesses? A Twilight-style Young Adult novel/movie/product empire called ‘Modelland’ that was cancelled after one book. A beauty line called ‘Tyra Beauty’ that was actually an MLM and folded in less than two years. A theme park based on… ‘models’ that she said was too hard to describe but was essentially just a place to get $1500 glamour shots (also no longer in business). And now, of course, we have Tyra’s ‘Hot Ice Cream’ at her ‘Smize and Dream’ ice cream store (which has already had some food regulation dramas).  .

    JTG MINI: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Newsnight Interview

    On November 17, 2019, the world watched as Prince Andrew (since downgraded to regular person BUT WORSE), scored one of the biggest PR own-goals in history during a Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis. Convinced the interview would be his chance to get rid of those pesky Jeffrey Epstein rumours once and for all, it became clear within minutes - to everyone but him - that things were not going to end up the way he planned.  By the time the 49-minute interview was over, all Andrew had proven to the world was that the only thing he lacked more than self-awareness was empathy, and the only thing he seemed to have in abundance was an astonishing sense of entitlement, that gave him an uncanny ability to prove that the Dunning Kruger effect very much exists. Today I am giving you Just The Gist of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Newsnight Interview with Emily Maitlis. GISTEN to our episode ‘Just The Gist of… Andrew and Fergie’ right here. (Apple) GISTEN to our episode ‘Just The Gist of… Andrew and Fergie’ right here. (Spotify) (CW: While this episode focuses more on Andrew Mounbatten-Windsor’s Newsnight Interview rather than any specifics of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and Andrew’s alleged involvement in them, those crimes are obviously part of this story so they are mentioned, without detail, at some points.

This week: MAFS is back! Make sure you head to the Watch Party group chat on the JTG Patreon! For two weeks every four years everyone on earth becomes an expert in figure skating and that means we're obsessed with quadruple axel jumper Ilia Malinin (read 'The Man Who Broke Physics' in The Atlantic here). And speaking of trying to defy physics... Olympic Ski Jumpers are apparently injecting their peens with hyaluronic acid in their ULTIMATE QUEST FOR GOLD. Rosie gives a JTG explainer of the whole situation. (Also are men okay? Usually no.) Read the News article here and The Guardian article here. 'Cyber Farting' is now officially a crime and Rosie and her sisters would have been found guilty of it many, many times. Read The Sun article here. Mattel has revealed that Ken is not Just Ken - he has a full name, and it makes him sound like he owns a jet ski. Other stuff! .

    Just The Gist of.... Biosphere 2

    In 1991, a billion-dollar experiment took place, designed to see if humans could survive in an artificial earth inside a giant glass dome that would eventually be built on other planets. Years was spent building Biosphere 2 in the USA, and inside was an ocean with actual tides and waves, a rainforest, a desert, vast wetlands, a farm with crops, animals, housing and laboratories. ‘Rain’ could even be switched on and off. Eight Humans lived inside it for TWO YEARS. So why has hardly anybody heard of it? Because it was a disaster, none of it worked, and they nearly died. Turns out, despite sounding impressive, this experiment wasn’t run by NASA or even scientists, it was run by a bunch of hippies from a cult-like experimental theatre group who had no clue what they were doing, but had duped a billionaire into giving them a lot of money. .

    JTG MIN-EDIUM... John Allen Chau

    The Sentinelese people are one of the last remaining isolated Indigenous tribes on earth, continuing to live today as they have for thousands of years. Since 1956 they have been protected by laws that prohibit anyone approaching their home on North Sentinel Island. But the laws are also in place to protect any outsiders who try to go there, as the Sentinelese tribe have pretty much tried to to kill anyone who goes near them.  Despite this, in 2018, a 26-year-old evangelical Christian missionary named John Allen Chau decided that the Sentinelese people, who had been living peacefully on North Sentinel Island for thousands of years, were actually part of Satan’s Last Stronghold on earth, because they had not yet accepted Jesus into their hearts by being converted to Christianity. John Allen Chau decided to change that. John Allen Chau is now dead. This is just the gist of John Allen Chau. .
