Show Notes
In 2018, a Twitter user called @buzzkillary posted a 30-page PowerPoint titled 'Lorde and Jack Antonoff: An Emotionally Broken Journey', presenting their case that Jack had been cheating on his then-girlfriend Lena Dunham with Lorde while recording Melodrama. ‘The PowerPoint’, as it became known, has long been considered a cult classic internet text by the chronically online, but mostly forgotten by everyone else.
UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO, when Lena published her new memoir Famesick, in which she wrote about her break-up with Jack, and a suspiciously affectionate 'young pop star'. The internet is now declaring ‘The PowerPoint’ vindicated. This is Just The Gist (MINI) of the Lorde/Jack Antonoff PowerPoint.

At this point we’ve all heard that Kelly Clarkson got really mad this week when (she says) she was denied the chance to buy a $15,000 wooden bird automaton. But this isn’t actually the first time Kelly Clarkson made headlines for being really, really mad that she wasn’t allowed to buy something.
If you’ve seen Christa Pike’s name in the headlines this week next to the words “botched execution” and have no idea what actually happened, this is the episode for you. Last week, on the 30th of September 2026, Tennessee tried to execute Christa Pike, who had spent 30 years as the only woman on the state’s death row for a murder she committed at 18. The first lethal dose of pentobarbital didn’t kill her. Neither did the second. After two hours behind a closed curtain she left the death chamber in an ambulance, and five days later she woke up in hospital and asked where she was. Her lawyers say she’s the only person known to have survived a completed execution in US history, and nobody, including the Governor of Tennessee, seems to know what happens now. But in all of this, the victim has been forgotten. Her name was Colleen Slemmer. She was 19, a Florida kid in a ‘Computer Geek’ T-shirt who had left home for the first time to study computers at a Job Corps centre in Knoxville, and who phoned her mum on the night she died to say some girls were bothering her. A few hours later, Christa Pike killed her. Colleen’s mother, May Martinez, put it this way: ‘The criminals get so much attention. Why? Colleen has been lost in this.’ This is Just The Gist of Christa Pike: the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, the Satanic Panic trial, the ‘Death by Gossip with Wendy Williams’ episode, the Governor Bill Lee clemency fight, the pentobarbital her lawyers say went into her arms instead of her veins, and the mother who drove ten hours from Florida to watch it end and is still waiting to bury her daughter whole. .

Most people think of 'Shark Tank' as the show where hopeful entrepreneurs try to get rich people to invest in their ridiculous inventions (wine for cats, anyone?). And while that's a big part of it, Shark Tank has (surprisingly) also been the launch of some BILLION dollar companies. Scrub Daddy was discovered on Shark Tank, and it's not even close to being the most successful company that got its start on the show. One shark put $50,000 into a product that had not sold a single unit, and it has made her tens of millions. Another turned a $400,000 investment into an estimated $300 million. This is Just The Gist (MINI!) of the top ten Shark Tank success stories: the billion dollar brands, the best deals Lori Greiner, Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John and Robert Herjavec ever made, and the no-deal pitch Kevin O'Leary now calls probably the biggest miss in the show's history. .
