Get The Gist Podcast

HELLOOO GISTERS 🫡🫡This week, one of us was living her best life at the Arsenal parade and reckons it was worth every second… even in a heatwave 🥵We got chatting about childhood and asked ourselves the important questions:👀 Are kids growing up way too fast?🎮 Is it weird watching kids actually play with toys nowadays?🤔 Or are we just getting old?Then we made the mistake of asking ChatGPT for some honest opinions…And let’s just say they absolutely ROASTED us. 😭From social media pressures and childhood nostalgia to AI personality breakdowns, brutal call-outs & bad habits we’d rather keep to ourselves, this episode takes more twists and turns than we expected.Safe to say, ChatGPT knew far too much and wasn’t afraid to expose us.So grab a cuppa and join us for the laughs, the chaos and the existential crisis brought to you by artificial intelligence 🤖✨👇 Have you ever asked ChatGPT to roast you?SEND US WHAT THEY SAID. We need to know if it violated you as badly as it violated us 😭#GetTheGistPodcast #ChatGPT #AIRoast #Arsenal #SocialMedia #IrishPodcast #GirlTalk #Podcast

This week on Get The Gist, Roz, Rí, and Princess tackle some of the most controversial conversations happening in Ireland right now.Are people blaming immigration for problems actually caused by the cost-of-living crisis? Is unconscious bias influencing how we view crime, safety, and who belongs in Irish society? Has Ireland become less safe, or are we simply hearing more about violence than ever before?The hosts discuss the tragic deaths of Yves Sakila, Alex Coughlan, and Qayyum Balogun, asking difficult questions about community safety, accountability, excessive force, and the rise of knife crime. Roz also shares her experiences navigating corporate workplace and asks a question many people avoid: Why are leadership teams still failing to reflect the diversity of the workforce?Expect strong opinions, uncomfortable truths, disagreement, and plenty of moments that will have you asking:💭 Is Ireland becoming more divided?💭 Is racism being ignored, exaggerated, or misunderstood?💭 Are politicians addressing the real issues?💭 Who gets to feel safe in Ireland today?We’re not claiming to have all the answers, but we’re definitely asking the questions.⚠️ Warning: This episode contains discussions about racism, violence, immigration, discrimination, and recent tragic events.👇 Let us know in the comments:Do you think Ireland is moving forward or backwards?⏰ CHAPTERS00:00 – Chickenpox, parenting & potty training chaos03:49 – Public disasters and travel trauma06:18 – Weird body conversations08:37 – Is Ireland changing?10:05 – The Yves Sakila discussion13:51 – Unconscious bias and racial discourse20:14 – Immigration vs cost of living22:00 – Racism in urban vs rural Ireland23:47 – Welfare, identity and social tensions30:10 – The murder of Alex Coughlan33:59 – Hope, progress and representation39:37 – Workplace bias and corporate culture45:20 – Why diversity in leadership matters48:23 – The stabbing of Qayuum Balogon55:01 – Justice, accountability and community safety1:00:54 – Final thoughts#GetTheGistPodcast #Ireland #IrishPodcast #Immigration #RaceInIreland #CurrentAffairs #IrishNews #Debate #CommunitySafety #Representation #Podcast

This week it’s just Roz and Princess holding things down while Ri recovers 😭❤️We start with new beginnings in work, life and love 👀 before asking the IMPORTANT question… have you ever played for a relegated team? (and NO we’re not talking football 😭❤️‍🩹). From dating below your standards to entering your “free agent” era, we get real about knowing your worth and learning lessons the hard way.Then we debate whether you can ACTUALLY find love in the club 👀 Is Hinge more solid? Is modern love just different now? Plus why “love languages” might not mean anything when all you really need is someone to HOLD YOUR BAG 😭We also get into pet names, are you calling your partner “baby” or do you need something a little more unhinged? And of course we had to show love to Bumbu because yeah… we appreciate you ❤️From there we dive into body care, exfoliating properly, African sponges, dry brushing, imperfections, and why MEN also need to start taking care of themselves properly too 👏🏾 Self-love isn’t just for women!!As always it’s honest, chaotic, funny and feels exactly like a group chat conversation with your friends 😭Get comfy and GET THE GIST 💅🏽💬 Drop your thoughts below:Can you actually find love in the club? 👀 And what’s the WORST relegated team you’ve ever dated? 😭#GetTheGist #Podcast #DatingTalk #BlackHair #IrishPodcast #GirlTalk #ModernDating #NaturalHair #RelationshipPodcast #⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - 1:09 Intro with just us two 🥺 (we miss you Ri ❤️)1:09 - 3:48 New beginnings with work, life & love 👀3:48 - 7:08 Have you ever played for a relegated team?
