TEASER: 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 via the Just The Gist Patreon right here or Apple Subscriptions! 

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. (And Here’s the bonus episode I mention)

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.

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.)

Are female Australian travel influencers so desperate for clout that they’re agreeing to go on trips to Afghanistan… sponsored by the Taliban? In a country where the Taliban government is committing gender apartheid against women, an Aussie female travel influencer is posting videos and posing for selfies, commenting 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’. 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.

The articles I mention: ABC News & Daily Mail

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!
