Just The Gist

• Just The Gist of... Andrew & Fergie

  The trash fire human formally known as ‘Prince’ Andrew is now just a regular person, only worse. Same as his former wife Sarah Ferguson, who until recently was still referred to as ‘Sarah, Duchess of York’. It was huge news in October 2025 when King Charles finally released a statement from Buckingham Palace, officially stripping Andrew of all his official titles and kicking him (and ol’ Fergie) out of the 30-room mansion ‘Royal Lodge’. But HOW did they end up this way? What is just the gist of Andrew and Fergie? How did they meet? How did they both end up such entitled, self-serving people (or were they always that way)? We’ve all seen the headlines about Andrew and Fergie’s enduring, years-long friendship with Jeffrey Epstein (and their continued lies about it), but what is it about them and their history together that led to this royal couple both being so… awful? Rosie gives just the gist of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson. (CW: While this episode focuses more on the history and lives of Andrew and Fergie rather than the 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. Take care when listening.)We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there’s this:SO MUCH of the info for this episode came from the incredible book ‘Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York’ by Andrew Lownie (2025)Interview with Andrew Lownie on an episode of ‘Throwing The Book At Them’ (2025)Andrew Lownie giving a presentation about his book at the University of Cambridge (2025)‘The Turbulent Life of Sarah Ferguson’ by Isaac Bickerstaff for Tatler Magazine (2025)‘Fergie and Andrew: Duke and Duchess of Disaster’ documentary (2020)‘Downfall of a Duchess’ documentary (1997)Andrew’s now infamous Newsnight interview with Emily Maitlis ‘Nobody’s Girl’ by Virgina Roberts Giuffre (2025) If this episode was difficult for you, please contact (Australia):Blue Knot Helpline (1300 657 380)Bravehearts (1800 272 831)1800RESPECT (24 hours: 1800 737 732)Lifeline (24 hours: 13 11 14)13YARN - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Crisis Support (24 hours: 13 92 76) Hosted on Acast.

• JTG MINI: What exactly is '6 7' (aka 6-7/67/six seven)? JTG's official KidZ Correspondents explain.

  All the kids are saying it. Teachers are banning it. South Park did an episode about it. And it was just named Dictionary.com’s 2025 Word Of The Year. So where did 6-7 come from? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Rosie did some research to get to the bottom of it all, including getting the scoop from Official JTG Kidz Correspondents: her 12-year-old nephew Malekai and 6-year-old twin nieces Layla and Layelle. (And yes, she mixes them up during the interview.)We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there’s this:Forbes article trying desperately to understand the KidZ and their six-seven nonsenseDictionary.com trying to explain themselvesMusic video of ‘Doot Doot (6 7)’ by SkrillaVideo of the original 6 7 kid ‘doing’ 6 7 at a basketball gameVideo of the entire restaurant cheering when order ‘67’ is called at an In-N-Out BurgerSouth Park clip from the recent ‘6-7’ episode (this explains it better than anything tbh)…Just The Gist is a Just The Network production.

• Just The Gist of… Theodore Rex

  There is a movie that exists that is SO bad, the lead actress who signed on had to be legally forced to finish filming it. In 1996, recent Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg had signed on to star in a gritty, sci-fi drama, but the final script had turned it into a buddy cop film in which she starred opposite a talking dinosaur puppet wearing Converse sneakers and a backwards cap. Whoopi tired to back out, the producers sued, and she ended being forced to film Theodore Rex against her will (she is so unhappy to be there you can literally see her sighing on screen in some scenes in the movie). With a budget of $33.5million, Theodore Rex was never released in cinemas, making it the most expensive direct-to-video movie ever made (and the biggest regret of Whoopi Goldberg’s career).We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this:Theodore Rex Wikipedia page - Complete film history and production details/Film - "How Did This Get Made?

• JTG MINI: The Louvre Heist

  IT’S THE DELIGHTFUL CAPER WE ALL NEEDED. On October 19 2025, four thieves (in disguise!) stole $102million worth of jewels from the Louvre Museum in Paris. They casually parked a basket lift truck out the front of the building, rode it to the first floor balcony and stepped right inside the Apollo Gallery - home to what’s left of France’s ‘Crown Jewels’. One glass cutter and a couple of minutes later, they rode away on Yamaha scooters with 9 precious items (well, 8 - they dropped a diamond-encrusted tiara that once belonged to Napoleon’s wife). Two men have been arrested, but no jewels have been found, and even George Clooney said he’s proud of the thieves for pulling it off. But why was it so easy to do? Who was the mysterious DAPPER MAN photographed at the scene of the crime? And will they even be able to sell what they stole?We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this:This is Rosie’s absolute favourite thing she has read about The Louvre Heist: The Atlantic - "The Louvre Heist Is Terrific" (2025) by Caity WeaverTIME Magazine - "Louvre Robbery: How Thieves Carried Out An Audacious Heist of 'Priceless' Napoleonic Jewels" (2025)The Guardian - "French police arrest two men over €88m Louvre jewel heist" (2025)AP News - "Thieves use basket lift in daring Louvre robbery, steal priceless jewels" (2025)AP News - "A timeline of the jewel heist at the Louvre in Paris" (2025)Daily Mail - "Two arrested over Louvre 'heist of the century' after raid of France's £76million crown jewels" (2025)…JTG MINIs is a Just The Network production.

• Just The Gist of Harrison Okene (the man found ALIVE in a sunken ship on the ocean floor)

  In May 2013, Nigerian cook Harrison Okene was sitting on the toilet when his tugboat capsized in a freak wave, trapping him 30 meters underwater in complete darkness. While his 11 crewmates drowned, Harrison found himself in a tiny air pocket, listening to their final screams before silence fell. For 60 hours, he survived on a can of Coke and sardines, fighting off crayfish that fed on his body, praying and singing hymns while the freezing water slowly rose around him. When South African divers finally found him during what they thought was a body recovery mission, they couldn't believe he was alive - making Harrison one of the most miraculous survival stories ever recorded.We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this:The Guardian's original report - "Nigerian sailor 'a phenomenon' for surviving in air pocket for 60 hours" (2013)The Guardian's 10-year follow-up - "I survived three days in a capsized boat on the ocean floor – praying in my air bubble" (2023)Rescue footage on YouTube - Harrison Okene: Moment divers find man alive in sunken shipHarrison's interview - Man Rescued From Sunken Boat Talks About OrdealHarrison's Instagram - Follow Harrison's current life as a professional diverJascon-4 incident Wikipedia page - Complete details of the tugboat disasterBBC News coverage - "Nigerian cook 'survived 60 hours' in sunken ship air bubble" (2013)CNN interview transcript - Harrison Okene on Larry King Live (2013)National Geographic feature - "How One Man Survived 60 Hours Trapped Underwater" (2013)Just The Gist is a Just The Network production.
