In this episode: Tariff anxieties shape discretionary spending, giving consumers a way to feel some control in this chaotic economy. Plus: mixed signals from a manufacturing report, bitcoin's chance at “digital gold,” and one of Altadena's largest employers wants to rebuild and rehire longtime staff after the California wildfires.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami kick things off with the exciting news that Betches is now an official media partner of the NFL! Speaking of football, is Aaron Rodgers cursed, or is it just the Jets? Either way they may want to contact the TikTok witch that predicted Jared's future wife (IYKYK). Onto celeb news, Taylor Swift turned 35 last Friday, and Travis reportedly spent $175K on gifts - but still no ring, to Jordana's dismay. Over in the Bravo-verse, James Kennedy says he's focusing on “sobriety and personal growth” after his recent domestic violence-related arrest, and we hope everyone involved gets the help they need. Next, they turn their attention to The Cut's new essay from Ethan Slater's wife, Lilly Jay, in her first public statement since the messy love triangle (square?) with Ariana Grande… and TBH it's not really giving what we were hoping it would give. Then, they catch up on some recent TV favorites and recommendations for what to binge over the holidays. Finally, Betch of the Week has to go to bday girl Taylor, and Hawk Tuah is getting sent to the Caymans for the fiasco of her $HAWK memecoin. Learn more about your ad choices.

Twelve out of thirteen big businesses turned down requests from Parliament to provide sponsorship to the ninth BRICS Parliamentary Forum held in Johannesburg last week. “It is absolutely outrageous that the incumbent government still thinks that it's appropriate to be hosting these lavish talk shops that essentially disincentivise our Western partners from investing in this country - and we see that now having a direct impact on what corporate South Africa is willing to associate themselves with,” says Emma Louise Powell, the Democratic Alliance's (DA's) Shadow Minister of International Relations and Co-operations. It has also emerged that the Government spent over R75 million to deploy more than 5 000 cops to the fifteenth annual BRICS Summit in August. “…all of these foreign delegations…bring with them their own security contingent. So essentially these more than 5,000 police officers were deployed to keep our ANC…safe while people across South Africa continue to deal with rampant violence, rising crime rates and a scourge of crime that doesn't seem to be abating anytime soon,” says Powell. She also describes the “notable disinterest” from BRICS member states in the “shambolic” forum that “achieved altogether absolutely nothing”. - Chris Steyn

What is a "bad" idea? From my experience of using the Magic Making Machine I've come to realise that a bad idea is a good idea out of context.One of the benefits of using a system like the Machine is you get a birds eye view of what you've been doing. It tracks what you do over many years, so you realise that you're perception of what you've done and what you've been doing is out of whack with reality.If the only perspective of your creative past is in your head, it is going to be distorted.And this is where the Sketchbook comes in. Because in the Machine, you don't delete your "bad" ideas. You come to understand that what you think is bad is a goldmine!So on today's PodWalk we're going to talk about the Sketchbook and the difference between "Ideas" and "Splurges".Get the Magic Making Machine Trello Template here: http://magicmakingmachine.com
