Spark Club Podcast - Ep75 - 3rd September 2026 Highlights – CEF's field trip to China CATL, XCMG and China Hongqiao Group  Tim Buckley and Matt Pollard's three highlights from their China trip in August: CATL: RD&D: CATL invested an annualised RMB22.7bn (A$2.3bn) in R&D in 1HCY2026, up 13% y-o-y, with 22,000 staff deployed in RD&D, including 700 professors, with >60,000 patent applications and 17 new patents being borne daily! Extensive use of data, robots & analysis means CATL targets an error rate of 1 part per billion! China Hongqiao Group is China's #2 integrated aluminium producer, and they toured the largest single-site aluminium smelter in the world, 4x the capacity of Tomago in Newcastle. This smelter has reduced its annual emissions by 32Mtpa since 2020, with a lot more reductions underway. XCMG: CEF joined Fortescue & XCMG at the largest commercial deployment of autonomous EV mining vehicles at China Huaneng Group's 35Mtpa open cut opencut coal mine in Inner Mongolia. The highlight was the confirmation that having successfully deployed 100 autonomous EV mining trucks in May 2025, by Sept'2026 this will double to 200 and then treble to 300 trucks by Nov'2026, 18 months ahead of the original 3 year rollout. Follow the money – one of the largest coal mining utilities in the world sees this technology as commercial, even as BHP and Rio Tinto continue with their climate walk back. Highlights – Asian Carbon markets progress Matt and Tim attended a full day session in Beijing with 30 people from the greater Asian region to discuss China's carbon market expansion, and the progress on carbon market developments from India to Thailand, Korea and Philippines. A key point was made by China's Assistant Director General of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment that climate markets are an integral part of China's sustainable economic development. The focus is on building momentum towards greater Asian regional cooperation in carbon market development, particularly in regional trade so as to extend and leverage the EU ETS and CBAM. It was great to hear Minister Bowen last month talk about his push for a path to an Australian CBAM, particularly as it was followed by his Australian meeting late August 2026 with China's Minister of Ecology and Environment, Huang Runqiu, for the 10th Australia-China Ministerial Dialogue on Climate Change. Lowlights – The WA by-election last week Not only did ONP win a strong 57% two-party share of the total vote and take the seat of Secret Harbour, but the WA ALP fielded Woodside's ex lobbyist as their candidate, and Woodside was one of the largest donors to her election campaign. Yet more evidence of the state capture of the WA government by the fossil gas industry. Main Story – My keynote presentation this week to the RE Construction Summit This week Tim is presenting in Sydney at the Renewable Energy Construction Summit, see presentation is available via CEF's website. Main themes are: #1 We are making strong progress on the journey to 82% RE and beyond, even if we are tracking 1-2 years behind Minister Chris Bowen's ambitious 2030 target. The 12 month moving average for RE share hit a record high of 46.9% in August 2026. Rooftop solar installs are on track for an all time record high of 4GW in CY2026, up a third on the last 5 years' average.  This is supported by the 2,000 home battery installs per day being delivered thanks to Minister Bowen's massively successful program. And rooftop C&I is finally set to surge with Bowen's latest incentive program, all leveraging the existing grid and thereby lowering average retail electricity prices for all. And while AEMO's new ESOO flags a record 9.1GW of net new generation and storage capacity (utility and CER) was added in FYU2026, almost 3x that of the last five years, the reality is we need to see progress rise another 50% and then sustain that for the next decade.  The CER's August 2026 report highlights that another cumulative 7.5GW of utility scale renewables capacity has reached FID but yet to be commissioned, with a record 32.2GW in the CER's probable category. Progress is being made, but we must see this accelerate, and for this to happen, we must see project proposals that have won CIS leverage this and get to FID and into construction. The only way we get coal plant closures is by building replacement renewable generation capacity beyond what is needed to cover the ongoing growth in electrification, including EVs and data centres.   What's coming up?  Later this week Tim is off to Adelaide for a German-Australia green iron and steel roundtable, followed by attending the Asia Hydrogen Summit, where Tim is moderating a panel on path to commercialisation and deployments Next week TIm is off to Canberra with Prof. Liz Thurbon and Oliver Yates to meet with the Chinese Embassy to suggest ways for greater bilateral China-Australia collaboration, and meeting with Treasury again re the FTC reform Then Tim will be going to the Gold Coast to see a potential battery assembly factory with eLumina, then talking at a community event on China's energy transition hosted by Mara Bun with Annastacia Palaszczuk, Chair of the Advanced Materials & Battery Council, and like me, a massive fan of seeing first hand China's energy system transformation and the opportunities for greater Australia-China collaboration. The following week Tim will join a Canberra Parliament delegation (including Mick Liubinskas' VC event on the 16th), then he's speaking at an Ethinvest event in Melbourne on the evening of the 16th, then a Sydney Freight Electrification event on the 17th then talking at the Everything Electric Sydney event on 18th Sept.

Please join Ann and Fedder, two members of the vibrant GTD community in Denmark, as they discuss a yearly GTD event that they call a refuge or retreat. It's an opportunity for a small group to have more inner-directed time for gaining perspective. Fedder and Ann relate how the idea developed, compare and contrast it with the annual Summer Camp, and explain the potential benefits. They even point out that the refuge is part of a well-rounded GTD practice that aligns with Danish philosopher Kierkegaard's adage that, "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." Below the video player image please find the description from Fedder and Ann about the refuge. The description is an excellent complement to their spoken words.

Rico Omarr Harris had once seemed destined for a life in basketball. Standing 6-foot-9, Rico was a standout player who attracted attention from college scouts, led Los Angeles City College to a state championship, and eventually played briefly for the Harlem Globetrotters. But years after his basketball career had taken an unexpected turn, Rico was preparing for a new chapter of his life. On October 10, 2014, 37-year-old Rico Omarr Harris left his mother's home in Alhambra, California, and began driving north toward Seattle, where he planned to reunite with his longtime girlfriend and start a new life. He spoke with his mother while driving through the Sacramento area and later left a voicemail for his girlfriend. Then, he vanished. Three days later, Rico's black Nissan was discovered abandoned at a remote Yolo County Regional Parks location along State Route 16. His vehicle was there, but Rico was nowhere to be found. Extensive searches of the surrounding area produced no trace of him, and despite the passage of more than a decade, Rico Harris remains missing. What happened to the former basketball star in Yolo County? Why did he leave his vehicle behind? And how does a man who stood nearly seven feet tall seemingly disappear without a trace?

Extensive clinical hours and prior health care experience are widely believed to enhance new graduate nurse practice readiness, yet supporting evidence is limited. Dr. Ryan shares an important study that examined these assumptions. Using data from 189 students from 8 BSN programs, Dr. Ryan and colleagues found no significant associations between practice readiness and total clinical hours, between practice readiness and percentage of simulation hours, or between practice readiness and prior health care employment.

Interview with Christian Easterday, Managing Director and CEO, Hot Chili LimitedOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/hot-chili-tsxvhch-water-business-with-1b-npv-to-fund-copper-project-6917Recording date: 10th August 2026Hot Chili Limited (ASX/TSXV: HCH, OTCQX: HHLKF) is advancing the Costa Fuego Copper-Gold Project on Chile's Atacama coastline, positioning itself as one of only five independent (non-major-controlled) copper developers globally with a project capable of exceeding 100,000 tonnes of annual copper-equivalent production. Managing Director and CEO Christian Easterday, who has led the company since its 2010 ASX listing, argues the market has not yet caught up with the scale of the opportunity.The company's March 2025 Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) outlined a 20-year mine life (14 years at primary production rates), average annual production of roughly 116,000 tonnes of copper-equivalent, a post-tax NPV of US$1.2 billion, and a post-tax IRR of 19% at a long-term copper price of US$4.30/lb. Start-up capital was estimated at US$1.27 billion.The central near-term catalyst is La Verde, a copper-gold porphyry discovery acquired in November 2024 roughly 35km from Costa Fuego's planned processing hub. Extensive drilling (three rigs, with a fourth arriving) has defined a broad, high-grade mineralised footprint, and management expects a maiden resource estimate of approximately 500 million tonnes before the end of 2026. Folding La Verde into a restated Costa Fuego PFS is expected to lift post-tax NPV toward US$2 billion and post-tax IRR toward the mid-30s%, while shortening payback from roughly 4.5 years to 2.5 years and improving the project's position on the industry cost curve.On valuation, Hot Chili highlights two benchmarking metrics: an EV/lb-of-reserve multiple of roughly 3.8 cents against a peer average near 11 cents (implying a 2.9x re-rating opportunity), and a price-to-net-asset-value gap of roughly 2.3x versus recent comparable copper-sector transactions.Financing is addressed primarily through the company's Huasco Water asset — the only maritime licence with permitted seawater access in the Huasco Valley. Stage 1 (seawater supply to Costa Fuego, 500 L/s) is already funded within the existing PFS. A second maritime licence, which would unlock a larger multi-user desalination business (Stage 2: 1,300 L/s, ~US$977 million post-tax NPV) serving neighbouring major-miner projects, has been in Chile's approvals process for roughly five years and remains on track according to recent government contact, following an earlier delay tied to a change in administration. Management frames monetising this asset as a way to cover a substantial share of the project's equity requirement without heavy shareholder dilution. Additional untapped levers include uncommitted gold production (48,000-70,000 oz/year with La Verde) and roughly 40% of concentrate offtake left uncommitted outside the company's existing Glencore agreement.Glencore holds a 7.5% equity stake and an offtake agreement for up to 60% of concentrate for the first eight years of production, on benchmark terms. The company has also strengthened its board, adding Stuart Matthews (formerly EVP at Goldfields, with five major mine builds) as Independent Non-Executive Chair.Near-term catalysts include the maiden La Verde resource estimate (year-end target), a restated Costa Fuego PFS, EIA submission (targeted Q2 2027), progress on the second Huasco Water maritime licence, and an ongoing strategic partnering process. Final Investment Decision is targeted for 2029, with first production guided for 2031.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/hot-chili-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Planning Library Spaces: A Practical Guide for Library Building Projects (Bloomsbury, 2025) is a book designed for librarians, trustees, local government officials, architects, and interior designers who are designing or planning to build, renovate, or reconfigure library spaces. Most librarians embark upon a library building project with little experience in space planning, architecture, or construction. Written by a registered architect and professional librarian, this is a guidebook for librarians embarking on a library building project. It includes a brief history of library facilities, placing them in the context of public buildings. An introduction to library planning principles and a discussion of library design concepts and trends are presented, including the impact of the 2020 pandemic on library design. Sections on working with architects, building design/construction terminology and the basics of reading architectural drawings provide insight into unfamiliar jargon and visual communication. Extensive illustrations and photographs show examples of library layouts and furniture and equipment, and the final chapter addresses the challenges inherent in a major building project. As library services change, buildings must adapt to accommodate and provide these new innovations. Buildings are living things, and this book will offer guidance to those embarking on a project of any scale or size. Guest: Lauren Stara is a registered architect and a librarian, specializing in library building design. Her past library experience includes everything from front desk clerk to director. As a Library Building Specialist for the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, Lauren administers grant funds and provides technical assistance and advice from initial planning through construction of public library projects. She writes, consults, and speaks on library design, service design, and future trends in libraries and is coauthor of Responding to Rapid Change in Libraries: A User Experience Approach (2020). Host: Dr. Michael LaMagna is the Information Literacy Program & Library Services Coordinator and Professor of Library Services at Delaware County Community College. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I welcome back friend of the show and galactic soul sister Gail Lynn, creator and visionary behind the Harmonic Egg.Gail shares the journey that led her from automotive engineering, telecommunications, and Hollywood into the world of sound, light, sacred geometry, and vibrational healing. We explore the origins and global expansion of the Harmonic Egg, along with the mysterious possibility that each Egg carries a living consciousness and remains energetically connected to the others around the world.From remote sessions and the energetic signatures of the land to galactic healing chambers, ancient technologies, dragon portals, and bi-location, this conversation moves deep into the stranger dimensions of the Harmonic Egg experience.At the heart of the episode is the frequency of integrity. Gail and I discuss the energy behind healers, musicians, companies, products, and technologies, as well as the difference between service and greed. We also explore audio quality, the importance of uncompressed WAV files, and Gail's new affordable app, created to make the Harmonic Egg music library accessible anywhere.We also discuss Marcy Dean's Love Evolved music and her Harmonic Egg piece “Epiphany,” Ross Kronick's reggae-inspired track “Answer,” Gail's work with animals, and the possibility of future sound-and-light technology for horses and other creatures.www.harmonicegg.com Gail Lynn Bio:Gail Lynn Bio:Gail Lynn, was first exposed to sound and light healing while working in the film industry as an executive producer for a movie about Elvis Presley called Protecting the King. When Gail's doctor diagnosed her with severe cardiovascular stress at the young age of 37, caused by an accumulation of stress from two challenging relationships and three successive and extremely competitive careers in the automotive and telecommunications industries, and then as a Hollywood producer, she knew that she had to find a radical solution to her health issues. Extensive research led her into the world of frequencymedicine and light and sound technologies.After just a weekend of sessions with a non-invasive sound and light chamber, her Heart RateVariability medical test showed the stress on her heart had significantly decreased. Unable to believe it could have been that easy, she continued sessions periodically for three years, during which a lifelong condition ofchronic asthma disappeared, along with severe migraines that had been plaguing her for 23 years.Determined to help others and open her own healing Center in Denver, Colorado, Gail simultaneously set out to uncover the ancient history and the modern science behind light and sound as healing therapies. Followinga series of extraordinary synchronicities, which guided her to combine light and sound technologies with sacred geometry and Tesla mathematics, she developed a revolutionary immersive, resonance healing chamber called the Harmonic Egg, which is advancing frequency healing to an unimagined level.

A tornado in Wisconsin causes widespread damage. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

With Europe summer travel in full swing, it’s a good time to talk about building a river cruise vacation. Whether you’re an advisor with river-bound clients, or if you’re a traveler yourself, the cruise is likely is just part of a multicomponent trip with pre- and post-cruise tours or city stays known as extensions. The extensions business is getting more and more complex, with travelers adding on not just more extensive options from the river cruise lines but tours from third-party operators or a bespoke land trip. And while we’re at it, the in-cruise experience is getting more bespoke, too. In this episode tours and river cruise editor Brinley Hineman and Angela Hughes, CEO of Trips & Ships Luxury Travel in Winter Garden, Fla., talk about the options and where river-bound travelers are headed, whether it’s better to add a pre- or post-trip tour and how to position a longer European vacation. This episode was recorded June 26 and has been edited for length and clarity.

SCHEDULE FOR THE JBS, 7-23-20261950 ONTARIO WILDFIREEvan Ellis examines Mexico's economy, increasingly integrated into the American market and moving beyond oil into diverse manufacturing sectors. Despite Trump administration objections to the USMCA, the treaty includes provisions requiring a ten-year exit process. Current negotiations reflect tensions over Chinese inputs, automotive tariffs, and labor standards. President Claudia Sheinbaum manages these diplomatic challenges while cooperating with the US on extradition, drug lab seizures, and stemming illegal immigration through Mexican territory. (1)Evan Ellis reports Cuba faces a severe humanitarian crisis with failing electricity, yet the communist regime maintains tight control. A recent State Department report labels Cuba the "capital of 21st-century communism," citing its subversion of Latin American democracies and involvement in left-wing political terrorism. Meanwhile, in Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo have officially abolished future elections, claiming the opposition seeks to "capture power" through voting. This moves the country toward becoming a "hermit kingdom." (2)Evan Ellis notes former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández returned to Honduras following a pardon by President Trump, despite previous US convictions for cocaine trafficking. In Venezuela, the US has collected over $13 billion in oil revenue, yet economic recovery remains muted following recent earthquakes. The lack of transparency regarding these funds raises concerns about their management under the Rodríguez regime. Simultaneously, Colombia's new leader faces the challenge of dismantling entrenched cocaine cartels. (3)Evan Ellis surveys Brazil's high-stakes election, with Lula da Silva currently leading Flavio Bolsonaro in polling. New 25% US tariffs threaten nearly 26% of Brazil's exports, totaling $15 billion in goods. Tensions rise as the Supreme Courtblocks high-profile visitors like Argentina's Javier Milei from meeting the elder Bolsonaro. Many Brazilians believe the elder Bolsonaro's influence triggered these punitive trade measures, while the military remains the largest force in South America. (4)Kaitlyn Tiffany recounts how, following JFK's assassination, Lyndon Johnson convened the Warren Commission to consolidate intelligence from the FBI, CIA, and Dallas police. The commission included controversial figures like Allen Dulles and Gerald Ford, the latter of whom clandestinely back-channeled with the FBI. Chief Justice Earl Warren was reluctant to serve, fearing the political nature of the committee and its impact on the American image. Critically, the commission lacked its own independent investigative staff. (5)Kaitlyn Tiffany describes how FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover quickly established the "lone gunman" theory, asserting Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from the Texas School Book Depository. However, Shirley Martin, a grieving Oklahoma housewife, began independently investigating the case and badgering the FBI with tips. Her relentless correspondence frustrated Hoover, who viewed her as a nuisance to the bureau's formal investigation. Martin interviewed overlooked witnesses in Dallas and became a key critic of the official narrative. (6)Kaitlyn Tiffany profiles Sylvia Meagher, a World Health Organization secretary who became obsessed with the disorganization of the Warren Commission's evidence. Drawing on professional experience, she created a comprehensive index for the commission's twenty-six volumes of supplementary materials. Meagher was particularly suspicious of Dallas security lapses, having witnessed heads of state protected at the UN. She joined other women, including wealthy soprano Maggie Field, in scrutinizing photographic evidence and government claims. (7)Kaitlyn Tiffany describes the 1965 gathering of independent researchers known as "warologists" at Sylvia Meagher's apartment to discuss missing pieces of the JFK investigation. While they allied with lawyer Mark Lane, they grew frustrated with his territorial and inaccurate behavior. The group was also wary of Marguerite Oswald, who insisted on her son's innocence but was demanding and unpredictable. They focused on inconsistencies in eyewitness testimony and the implausible "magic bullet" theory. (8)Kaitlyn Tiffany notes that by 1966, the media labeled these researchers as "housewives" to dismiss their work, describing them as a "keening pack of speculators." Central to their dissent was the "magic bullet" theory, which claimed a single pristine projectile caused multiple wounds in both JFK and Governor Connally. Dissenters highlighted the bullet's lack of deformation and the FBI's initial reports of a non-exiting back wound. They also investigated the Grassy Knoll for additional shooters. (9)Kaitlyn Tiffany recounts District Attorney Jim Garrison's 1967 high-profile investigation into a New Orleans-based conspiracy to kill the president. He targeted Clay Shaw, alleging a mysterious, powerful figure orchestrated the plot. While some researchers supported Garrison for his willingness to investigate, others like Sylvia Meagher felt he was reckless with facts and self-serving. The investigation ultimately failed with a not-guilty verdict, causing a permanent rift within the community of critics. (10)Kaitlyn Tiffany relates how personal tragedy struck Shirley Martin when her daughter died in a car accident, effectively ending her research. In 1977, the House Select Committee on Assassinations reopened the case, initially concluding a fourth shot from the Grassy Knoll indicated a "probable conspiracy." This finding was based on a police motorcycle radio recording analyzed by scientists. However, later analysis revealed the recording was made after the shooting, causing the conspiracy evidence to crumble. (11)Kaitlyn Tiffany tours modern-day Dallas, a strange mix of somber memorials and pop-culture commercialization of the assassination. Visitors can tour Ruth Paine's house or the rooming house where Oswald lived, which plays As the World Turns on a loop. While some local businesses sell "magic bullet coffee," the Sixth Floor Museum provides a staged look at the sniper's perch. Extensive archives of the critics' work are preserved at Hood College and the Mary Ferrell Foundation. (12)Anatol Lieven warns the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are converging into a global energy crisis, with refined oil products like diesel in short supply. Ukrainian drone attacks have severely damaged Russia's refining capacity, while US refineries struggle to keep pace. Leadership instability in Kyiv, including the dismissal of the defense minister, further complicates the war effort. Meanwhile, Houthi threats against Saudi tankers jeopardize the world's ability to secure reliable oil exports. (13)Anatol Lieven assesses new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who faces a country demanding increased spending on health, prisons, and defense despite rising debt costs. While popular for his management of Manchester's transport system, he must navigate radical tax proposals targeting millionaires to raise revenue. Burnham is under pressure to resolve the "net zero" debate and potentially expand North Sea fracking to lower energy prices. He remains wary of reopening the divisive Brexit debate. (14)Anatoly Zak recounts the July 1976 Soviet launch of the Salyut 5 mission, a secret military reconnaissance project camouflaged as civilian research. The mission, dubbed the "Keystone Cosmonauts," was plagued by accidents, including a truck blocking a fuel train and a failed automated docking system. Onboard, the crew faced extreme stress, power failures, and a mysterious illness that incapacitated one cosmonaut. These failures forced an emergency landing and a premature end to the expedition. (15)Anatoly Zak reports Roscosmos is currently developing the Russian Orbital Station (ROS) to replace its segment of the International Space Station after retirement. This modular station is intended to test hardware for future lunar exploration, including a habitat module similar to the American Gateway project. Russia still hopes for potential international cooperation with NASA and the ESA in lunar orbit. The ROS will typically host two to three cosmonauts for long-term deep space validation missions. (16)Corrections applied, pending your confirmation for the log: Kaitlyn Tiffany (transcribed as "Caitlin" — the Atlanticwriter), Anatoly Zak (transcribed as "Anatoli" — his own byline spelling at RussianSpaceWeb), and Allen Dulles in segment 5 (transcribed as "Alan").

Brandy Shufutinsky details how Qatar has provided extensive grants for Arabic language and culture programs in U.S.K-12 schools. These programs often utilize textbooks that omit Israel from maps and glorify extremist ideologies. Qatar Foundation International (QFI) even funds teacher salaries and work visas, raising concerns about who these educators truly report to. This funding creates a "pipeline" from elementary school to higher education, potentially instilling foreign-influenced perspectives in future generations of American citizens. (15)SEPTEMBER 1932

Jake Tapper of CNN joins Chad for an extensive discussion about his reporting on Operation Metro Surge, the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and several other problems that arose during that time in Minnesota.

Michael Negrete, an 18‑year‑old UCLA student, vanished on December 10, 1999 after returning to his dorm room around 4:30 a.m. after chatting with a friend. Later, his roommate found all his belongings — wallet, ID, keys — still in the room with no signs of struggle. Extensive searches by campus police, local law enforcement, volunteers, and scent dogs uncovered no trace of him, and witness reports near campus and on bus routes were never confirmed. Over the years, investigators pursued numerous leads, interviewed friends and classmates, and considered possibilities ranging from voluntary disappearance to foul play or accidental death. To this day no body has ever been found, no arrests have been made, and the case — one of several high‑profile disappearances in Los Angeles at the time — remains open as of July 2026, with law enforcement still accepting tips. If you have any information about the disappearance of Michael Negrete, please contact UCLA Police Department 310-825-1491 or the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department 323-890-5500 Click here to join our Patreon.  Click here to get your own Inhuman merch.  Connect with us on Instagram and join our Facebook group.  To submit listener stories or case suggestions, and to see all sources for this episode: https://www.inhumanpodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

We revisit the most shared New York Times article by a woman who trains animals (and husbands). We discuss Sarah's new dog and her efforts to teach a new dog old tricks. Susie gives an update on her trivia night debacle where she was ROBBED (but it's FINE). We hear why Sarah is obsessed with Love Island. We learn why less than 50% off cultures mouth kiss romantically, but we're not buying it. We discuss the artist who got exclusive rights to the "blackest black" paint and how an artist who made the "pinkest pink" got revenge. And we find out about a woman who saved a crow and got many gifts in return.00:00 - Kicking Off Episode 1026: Sarah's Favorite Yet01:25 - Applying Operant Conditioning to Husbands and Animals03:11 - Positive Reinforcement and the Challenges of Dog Ownership13:24 - Sarah's Extensive and Seasonal Overalls Collection16:30 - Susie's Trivia Victory and Calling Out Cheaters25:40 - Diving Deep into the Wild World of Love Island37:36 - Debunking the '54% Don't Kiss Romantically' Claim47:20 - HBO Documentary on a Cult of Beautiful Models52:35 - The Petty Art Battle Over Exclusive Paint Colors56:49 - A Woman's Kindness to a Crow Rewarded with Gifts01:04:49 - Final Thoughts and Podcast PlugsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYTDM-RESERVATION: 1.
