    Gypsy-Rose Blanchard (Rosie's Version)

    For years, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was the poster child for childhood illness - confined to a wheelchair, battling leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and countless other conditions. Her devoted mother Dee Dee cared for her around the clock, and the community rallied to support them with charity and free trips to Disney World. But in 2015, Dee Dee was found stabbed to death in her bedroom. What police discovered next shocked everyone: Gypsy could walk, had never had cancer, and had been systematically abused through a condition called Munchausen syndrome by proxy. This is the story of how a desperate young woman orchestrated her mother's murder to escape a prison of fake illnesses, and why the case divided public opinion like no other true crime story in recent memory. We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this: HBO Documentary: Mommy Dead and Dearest Hulu Series: The Act BuzzFeed News: Dee Dee Wanted Her Daughter To Be Sick Springfield News-Leader: The Gypsy Blancharde Case People Magazine: Gypsy Rose Blanchard Case Details ABC News: Gypsy Rose Blanchard Prison Interview The Cut: The Disturbing Case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard … Just The Gist is a Just The Network production.

    Fyre Festival: The $26 Million Scam That Started With a Cheese Sandwich

    In 2017, Billy McFarland promised the world's most exclusive music festival on a private island once owned by Pablo Escobar. Supermodels, private jets, gourmet food, and the biggest artists - all for just $1200 a ticket. What festival-goers got instead was the influencer version of The Lord Of The Flies. This is the story of how a 26-year-old scammer with a gift for nonsense convinced thousands of people to pay for a party that never existed, and how it all came crashing down in the most meme-worthy way possible. Plus, find out what Billy McFarland is doing now after selling the entire Fyre brand on eBay - for an amount that even he was shocked by.

    The Trashman Yacht Sinking (Rosie's Version)

    This has been called one the ‘worst shark attack stories of all time’. After their yacht, ‘The Trashman’, sank in a major storm, five crew members were stranded in the middle of the ocean in a tiny inflatable dinghy. Sharks soon started circling them, taking the crew one by one, but not before starvation and thirst caused them to mentally unravel and turn on each other (seriously - one crew member got so delirious they started acting like a possessed zombie). Strap in… this one is a WILD ride. We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more there’s this: ‘I Shouldn’t Be Alive’ Season 1, Episode 1 ‘Shark Survivor’ (available on Amazon Prime) Newsweek: The Horrifying Story of a Woman Who Watched Friends Being Eaten by Sharks for 5 Days After Yacht Capsized in Atlantic: 'They Were Everywhere'.

    The Mushroom Lady (aka Erin Patterson duh)

    Possibly one of JTG’s most requested topics EVER, the show had to come back just to do this episode. In 2023, Erin Patterson invited her husband Simon and his family over for her lunch at her Leongatha home. In a move that would save his life, Simon refused the invitation, but his parents Don and Gail and Aunt and Uncle Ian Heather and Ian fell gravely ill not long after eating the beef wellington meal. Ian Wilkinson was the only survivor, and while Erin also pretended to be ‘sick’, it did not take long for the real purpose behind her lunch to become clear: MURDER. Murder by death cap mushrooms. We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there’s this: READ:  This article from The Guardian - Two years ago, Erin Patterson’s lunch guests were admitted to hospital. This week, she became a convicted murderer. This article from The Guardian - What the Erin Patterson trial wasn’t told This article from ABC News - A look inside the courtroom of Erin Patterson’s triple murder trial This article from ABC News - Mother, cook, defendant: The trial of Erin Patterson turns to her personal life WATCH:  Erin Patterson ‘crying’ on A Current Affair 7 Spotlight - Mushroom Murders: Inside the mind of killer Erin Patterson Daily Mail - Mushroom Murder Trial: All the evidence against Erin Patterson unpacked  … Just The Gist is a Just The Network production.

    BREAKIN’ NOOZ!

    EXTRAY EXTRAY! It’s comin’ down the wiiiire! BREAKIN’ NOOZ is back bébé! (YES INCLUDING THE SONG YOU CHUMPS.) Episodes will be dropping every Tuesday for subscribers to The Gistener Club, which you can access here on Apple Subscriptions or via the Just The Gist Patreon at https://patreon.com/justthegist. This week’s headlines: FIT FOR TV. Omg omg omg. It’s a new three-part Netflix documentary about the making of The Biggest Loser in the US. You must watch it immediately. We watched all three parts in one go and as two people who have both existed in pretty fat bodies at one point, we both have ALL THE THOUGHTS because it is (unsurprisingly) messed up. JTG OG favourite Anna Delvey was back in the news this week for getting busted abandoning rabbits in a public park and truly - god bless her chaos. We all know Taylor Swift announced her new album The Life of a Showgirl, but Swifties have been doing their weird deep diving and seem to have discovered another big TayTay project coming soon: ‘Female Rage: THE MUSICAL’? A TAYLOR SWIFT MUSICAL? (Also it was so thoughtful of her to time her album announcement to coincide with Just The Gist’s debut return episode about HER. Thanks gurl ur the best ily.) This is a weird one: are female Australian travel influencers so desperate for clout that they’re agreeing to go on trips to Afghanistan… sponsored by the Taliban? It looks like maybe yes? In a country where the Taliban government is committing gender apartheid against women, an Aussie female travel influencer is posting videos with captions like ‘Kabul is a such a cool city’ in which she poses for selfies and comments without any irony: “No one hassles you here - which is something I can’t say about a lot of countries I’ve travelled to as a female.” Ahhh… I’m glad nobody hassled YOU there. Afghani women however are denied even their most basic human rights and punished by death for the most minor of ‘offences’. They are not allowed to work, not allowed to go to school, they are refused treatment at hospitals if they turn up without a man, they are not allowed to leave their homes or even speak out loud to each other without a man present. And just months ago, the Taliban government demanded that all women wear an eye patch, because two eyes being visible under their burkas is too offensive, and one eye is ‘enough’ to see. Yeah, the Taliban - notorious for never hassling women. Sorry I don’t normally write this much in the show notes but AM I GOING CRAZY HOW IS THIS A REAL THING? The articles I mention: ABC News - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-31/influencers-say-they-are-helping-women-in-afghanistan/105181936 Daily Mail - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15006997/Female-travel-influencers-spark-backlash-glamourising-Taliban-run-Afghanistan.html Amanda Knox is executive producer on a new crime drama about her story dropping on Disney Plus tomorrow. ‘The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox’ is also produced by Monica Lewinsky, and homework is for everybody to start watching so we can talk about it next week. And as usual, lots of other random stuff! … BREAKIN’ NOOZ is a Just The Network production. Executive Produced and hosted by Rosie Waterland. Produced and edited by James Joseph.

    Belle Gibson (Rosie's Version)

    Back in 2015, she was the ‘wellness influencer’ who had ‘healed’ her terminal brain cancer by ‘eating clean’ and sticking coffee enemas up her butt. Belle Gibson launched a wellness app that Apple wanted to put on the very first Apple Watch. She published a cookbook called The Whole Pantry, won awards and selflessly donated almost everything she made to charity. Except… lol no she didn’t. She didn’t do any of it. She didn’t have cancer and none of it was true. A Just The Gist ALL-TIME FAVOURITE, there have been so many updates on the Belle Gibson story, including the incredible 2025 Netflix show ‘Apple Cider Vinegar’ that brought renewed worldwide interest in the story. So did she ever get in trouble? And where is Belle Gibson now? Gisten in as Rosie gives you all details.  We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there’s this: READ: ‘The Woman Who Fooled The World’ by Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano READ: “No. None of it’s true.” The 2015 Women’s Weekly interview with Belle Gibson READ: “Belle Gibson: wellness blogger’s mum says cancer story was just a ‘white lie.’” 2015 Guardian article  READ: “What Happened To Belle Gibson In The End?

    Why Taylor Swift Had To Re-Record Her Entire Back Catalogue

    Taylor Swift made headlines in 2025 when news broke that she had finally succeeded in purchasing the master recordings of all her past albums. But… Why didn’t she own them in the first place?
