We're using our 1988 episode to finally wrap up our Backs of Life series, in which we review every backdoor pilot episode of classic 80s sitcom The Facts of Life. And this final two-part backdoor pilot from April 1988 is actually the end of the whole show! (Farewell, Tootie...) We start with a fleeting glimpse of the regular cast (which by this point also includes Australian moppet Pippa), but soon we're solidly in backdoor pilot territory. Eastland, the girls' old school, is in danger of closing, so Blair buys the place, and welcomes boys to enroll as well as girls. Then we see a whole new crop of young Eastland students, including some future stars: Juliette Lewis, Mayim Bialik, and Seth Green! Did this backdoor pilot lead to another beloved long-running series? Of course not. But does it end with the girls meeting a giant chicken? Well, kids, sometimes the world really seems to be living up to our dreams. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook! The Flopcast on Instagram! The Flopcast on Bluesky!

Back in May, Chris Griffins lost $30k in brand deals, in just four days, because of a reel he uploaded weeks earlier. The video? A statement about money, providership, and what he believes a man's role is in a relationship. Watch it here. It was picked up by a major Australian podcaster, stitched and shared, and suddenly… the country turned on him. Thousands of hate messages. News articles. Debates on The Project. And yet, Chris says it was the calmest he's ever felt. So why did I bring him on the podcast? Because women in my world are tired. We've built the businesses. Been the providers… and we're proud of it. But so many of us are quietly asking: “Do I still want to be the one carrying it all?” This episode isn't about picking sides in an online debate. It's about what happens when someone speaks a hard truth out loud and what it takes to stay in your integrity - even when people don't like it. In this raw and completely unfiltered conversation, we dive into: How to stay grounded and clear when the internet is tearing you apart The pattern Chris saw in EVERY message he received about the reel (and what he noticed about the women who reacted most strongly) What real safety in a relationship looks like, for BOTH partners Why being neutral or “nice” online might be keeping you invisible… and what to do if you actually want people to care The unexpected reason high achievers struggle to hold onto wealth How Chris reframes “losing everything” as the best thing that ever happened And the mindset that has helped Chris become completely unshakeable. Prefer YouTube? Watch here. I get SO lit up by every single conversation I have with my community.

Toxic fungus has been in the headlines this week - Australian woman Erin Patterson was found guilty of murdering her three in-laws by poisoning them with death cap mushrooms. But there's a toxic fungus that researchers have been able to use to fight cancer. The same mould that has been linked to deaths, in the excavations of ancient tombs - has the capability of fighting leukemia cells. Dr Sherry Gao, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania speaks to Mihingarangi Forbes about the significance of this discovery.
Who is Mark Opitz? Let's just say this… without Mark Opitz, the sound of INXS – and a good chunk of Australian rock royalty – wouldn't be what it is today. Mark Opitz is more than a record producer. He's a sonic architect, a studio visionary, and the man behind the glass during some of the most defining moments in Aussie music history. INXS – Yes, he helped shape their sound during that vital early international breakthrough with “Shabooh Shoobah”, and a few years later, he came back to help steer the band through two bold and creative studio albums: “Welcome to Wherever You Are” and “Full Moon, Dirty Hearts.” Albums that pushed boundaries, reinvented the band's sound, and cemented their status as artists—not just hitmakers. But the Mark Opitz story doesn't stop at INXS. Not even close. He's worked with AC/DC, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Divinyls, Noiseworks, Hoodoo Gurus, Models, and Jimmy Barnes—and that's just scratching the surface. His shelves are stacked with ARIA Awards, platinum records, and accolades from every corner of the industry. He's produced and engineered for acts like Kiss, Bob Dylan, and even The Rolling Stones during their Australian tour prep. Mark's career spans decades and genres, always with a trademark focus on the craft of making records that last. And here's the part we're proudest of… Mark is a patron and proud supporter of the INXS: Access All Areas Podcast. He believes in what we do, and he generously shared his time, stories, and wisdom with us across two incredible episodes. Episodes 222 & 223 In this powerful 2-part series, Mark takes us inside the studio, unpacks how his mind works, and gives us a front-row seat to the alchemy of recording. You'll hear about: Working with a young Michael Hutchence Finding that perfect guitar tone Why studio psychology is just as important as the gear What it takes to bring the best out of a band So… Who is Mark Opitz? He's the producer behind your favourite tracks, the unsung hero of the Aussie rock explosion, and a man with a million stories told with heart, humour, and honesty.

Interview with Chris Stevens, CEO of Coda Minerals Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/coda-minerals-asxcod-copper-cobalt-project-demonstrates-robust-economics-7009Recording date: 8th July 2025Coda Minerals Limited (ASX:COD) represents a compelling investment opportunity in the rapidly strengthening copper market, positioned at the critical intersection of technical innovation, proven management execution, and exceptional infrastructure advantages. The Perth-based company has achieved a transformational metallurgical breakthrough at its Elizabeth Creek copper-cobalt-silver project in South Australia, fundamentally altering the project's economics and development pathway.The company's most significant achievement is the successful development of an ammonium chloride whole ore leaching process that delivers recovery rates exceeding 95%, representing a dramatic improvement from the previous 55% recovery rates at the Windabout deposit. CEO Chris Stevens characterizes this advancement as "effectively free money," highlighting the direct revenue enhancement potential over the mine's life. This breakthrough eliminates a major technical risk while opening possibilities for smaller-scale startup operations with reduced capital requirements and earlier cash flow generation.Elizabeth Creek's robust project economics align closely with recently acquired Australian copper companies, delivering an $802 million NPV post-tax with a 35% IRR based on over one million tons of contained copper equivalent in JORC indicated resources. Critically, 93% of resources are classified as indicated, providing exceptional geological confidence rarely seen at this development stage. These economics become particularly compelling when viewed against recent takeover activity, with Rex Minerals acquired for $393 million, New World Resources subject to competing bids exceeding $230 million, and Xanadu Mines accepting a $160 million offer.Stevens emphasizes the validation from peer transactions: "There is now empirical evidence that companies that are able to do that with credible solid projects with comparable MPVs, comparable IRRs, comparable capexes are being valued over $200 million." This peer group comparison suggests significant value realization potential as Coda advances through its 12-month Pre-Feasibility Study timeline.The company's management team brings proven execution capability, having previously developed 17 projects and transformed Elizabeth Creek from two open pits to five times the original resource base. Stevens notes: "This is a team that has taken, frankly, a bit of a busted project with two open pits, turned it into five times the resources." The team's disciplined approach to capital allocation and project advancement provides confidence in their ability to deliver on development milestones.Elizabeth Creek benefits from exceptional infrastructure advantages that distinguish it from typical remote Australian developments. Located adjacent to BHP's established haulage road with contractual usage rights, the project sits one hour from Roxby Downs and maintains access to power infrastructure and established supply chains. South Australia's streamlined regulatory environment offers additional advantages through its unique iterative approval process.The investment opportunity is enhanced by favorable copper market timing, with prices advancing from $8,000 to over $10,000 per ton while financing availability improves and capital costs reduce. Stevens observes the strategic timing: "I personally think doing that is maybe leaving a party just as it starts to get exciting with the way that copper's moving."Coda maintains strong financial positioning with over $4 million cash and low corporate costs, providing runway to advance critical path items without immediate dilution pressure. The company's critical minerals classification through cobalt credits enhances strategic value while multiple development pathways provide flexibility in capital structure approaches.For investors seeking exposure to the copper supply shortage driven by electrification trends, Coda offers a de-risked entry point with established resources, proven economics, exceptional infrastructure, and experienced management positioned to deliver significant value appreciation through the critical feasibility phase.View Coda Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/coda-minerals-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This week, our hosts Dave Bittner, Joe Carrigan, and Maria Varmazis (also host of the T-Minus Space Daily show) are back sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with a ton of follow-up—from a sextortion scam that triggered a bot frenzy on Facebook, to sandboxed scam-baiting with fake credit cards, to a surprise magazine subscription that may or may not involve chicken gods. Plus, one listener wonders: do people really know what a strong password is? Dave's story is on a massive China-linked scam where hackers are spoofing big-name retail websites—like Apple, PayPal, and Hermes—to trick shoppers into handing over their payment info on convincing fake storefronts, with thousands of fraudulent sites still live and targeting victims worldwide. Joe's got the story of a sneaky spear-phishing campaign targeting financial execs with fake job offers that ultimately install a legit remote access tool, NetBird, to gain stealthy, persistent access—part of a growing trend where attackers use real software and clever social engineering to fly under the radar. Maria's got the story of a young homebuyer who lost $109,000 to a payment redirection scam, prompting Australian banks to finally roll out a “Confirmation of Payee” system to prevent similar fraud—though critics say the fix still puts too much blame on victims. Our catch of the day comes from the Scams sub-Reddit, where we hear about a scam getting people to click on a fake job that's too good to be true.

Send us a textJourney through millions of years of plant evolution with paleobotanist Dr. Aaron Pan, who unearths fascinating stories locked within fossilized leaves, fruits, and seeds from Earth's distant past. As Executive Director of the Museum of Texas Tech University, Dr. Pan bridges the worlds of scientific research and public education, sharing how ancient plant remains challenge our understanding of modern ecosystems.Prepare to have your assumptions about plant origins completely upended. Did you know eucalyptus trees – quintessentially Australian icons – likely originated in South America? Or that Africa once had thriving palm forests despite hosting fewer palm species today than tiny Singapore? Dr. Pan's research in Ethiopia reveals evidence of lush, palm-filled landscapes that existed 21-27 million years ago, before continental collisions dramatically reshaped Earth's biodiversity.The conversation explores how paleobotany differs from other paleontological disciplines, with plants presenting unique challenges since their various parts – leaves, flowers, fruits – can be scattered and fossilized separately. We delve into the collision of Africa with Eurasia that introduced zebras, giraffes, and lions to the continent, fundamentally altering both plant and animal communities in ways that continue to influence modern ecosystems.Beyond the science, Dr. Pan offers insights into museum work and the importance of preserving both specimens and knowledge. With 9.5 million items in its collection, the Museum of Texas Tech stands as the 19th largest natural history collection in America. Whether you're fascinated by ancient plants, curious about how continents shape evolution, or simply love museums, this episode invites you to appreciate the incredible depth of time and the long, winding journey of plant life on our planet.Support the showAs always, thanks so much for listening!

Hey there, it's Trey Kennedy, joined by Jake, my wife Katie, and Derek behind the cameras for a lively Correct Opinions episode. So, I found this weird bug bite, and my dermatologist mentioned Lyme disease, which sent me down a Google rabbit hole, panicking about ticks. Katie and Jake, of course, had a field day teasing me about it. Somehow Katie mixes up Spider-Man with “Superman Spider.” Jake correctly points out how British and Australian singers fake their accents.
