Next we meet Chester Williams, an affable hippie who finds one of Swamp Thing's discarded tubers in the bayou. Part of the yam finds its way to Sandy, a woman dying of cancer. Another part of it ends up with Chester's unpleasant acquaintance Milo, and … let's just say things don't work out very well for one of them. Like, does this mean Swampy and Abby are going out? Does the yam as a kind of cosmic litmus paper? Do kids today even know what litmus paper is? And are these two stories good enough to embark on that long, strange trip known as … The Comics Canon?

Larry Ostola speaks with Tim Falconer about his book, Windfall: Viola MacMillan and Her Notorious Mining Scandal. Viola MacMillan was a trailblazing prospector and mining executive who rose to prominence in a male-dominated industry. In 1964, after decades of success, she became the central figure in a major stock scandal. Shares in her company, Windfall Oil and Mines, soared on unverified rumors of a big find. MacMillan remained silent as the price climbed—until the company admitted it had nothing. The crash devastated small investors and led to a royal commission and reforms in Canadian financial regulation. Though convicted and jailed, MacMillan was later awarded the Order of Canada. Tim Falconer is the author of Bad Singer: The Surprising Science of Tone Deafness and How We Hear Music and Klondikers: Dawson City's Stanley Cup Challenge and How a Nation Fell in Love with Hockey, both named to The Globe and Mail's Top 100 Books. He lives in Toronto, Ontario. Image Credit: ECW Press If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

In this special bonus episode, Dennis interviews his friend Steven Havens, who just won $250,000 as the last man standing on Season 3 of the Fox game show The Floor. Steven talks about how he came to be on the show, the months of rigorous coaching provided by his game designer husband Jeb (who happens to be Dennis's co-creator on the game You Don't Know My Life!), shooting the entire season over one week in Ireland and the moment, minutes before he actually won, when he thought to himself, 'I got this.' Other topics include: promising his husband that he wouldn't talk smack about the other players and then talking smack about the other players, keeping his win a secret for 8 months, how his watch parties gave the people in his life something positive and hopeful to engage with during this dark time, choosing to wear his chef's shirt on the show as an intimidation tactic, getting the "winner's edit," what he plans to do with the money and the moment he almost slipped on stage and brought Rob Lowe down with him. @chefsteveneats on Instagram

Many of us approach YNAB from a position of scarcity, at least at first. We don't have enough money to do all the things we want to do, and we're living paycheck to paycheck. Giving every dollar a job and working through the 5 Questions helps us gain clarity about what our money needs to do for us, and finally get our financial life on track. But what if you have a surplus of money fall into your lap unexpectedly?   Windfalls are wonderful, sometimes life changing, but they can be stressful too. Especially if you haven't done the work of getting clear about your priorities and giving your dollars a job, suddenly receiving a large sum can be overwhelming and intoxicating. Ben likens windfalls to a poker concept called "winner's tilt." Players who are winning and watching the action through a tall stack of chips often end up playing more loosely and taking more risks. In theory, they should be playing with the same strategy as what won in the first place, but overconfidence and the security of playing with a large bankroll leads to riskier play.   Luckily the YNAB method works for windfalls too! When you know your priorities, and you have a plan for your money, it's much easier to handle a windfall without frittering it away or stressing about doing something special with it. In today's episode, Ben and Ernie discuss windfalls they have received in their life and lessons they have learned from the experience.     Follow Budget Nerds on YouTube Budget Nerds Livestreams: https://www.youtube.com/@YNABofficial/streams Budget Nerds Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuIUGmbCDklkDCDm-cQqv2g   Share your YNAB wins with Ben and Ernie! budgetnerds@ynab.com   Get your tickets to YNAB Fan Fest 2025!

A recent investigation from Open the Books, has added fuel to claims that Dr. Anthony Fauci leveraged the COVID-19 pandemic for personal financial gain. According to newly released financial disclosures, Fauci’s net worth skyrocketed from $7.6 million to over $15 million from 2019-2023. The bulk of this increase came from his hefty government salary, lucrative investment returns, and substantial royalties—much of which was amassed while he was shaping the nation’s pandemic policies. None of this is a coincidence. Fauci is nothing more than a Deep State insider who benefited handsomely while Americans faced lockdowns, job losses, and economic uncertainty. Fauci’s close ties to pharmaceutical companies, along with his unyielding media presence and shifting public health directives, helped create a climate where fear was monetized and dissent was silenced. In This episode of "Stinchfield" we make the case that Dr. Fauci’s soaring wealth during the pandemic isn’t just unethical; it’s confirmation of the wide spread corruption inside our federal agencies, especially Health and Human Services. The Wellness Company prides itself on pushing back against censorship and tyranny. It's why it has developed a series of prescription drug medical emergency kits that prescribed directly to you and delivered to your door to use incase of an emergency.

Gail opens up about the guiding principles behind Caulipower's product development and how staying true to these values has fueled innovation, allowing her to meet real consumer needs while breaking industry norms.

The program, tax records showed, now primarily benefits 120 mega-farms that collect roughly half of its $5 billion tax shelter, benefiting Wall Street investors and foreign pension funds. Weaver's reporting details how the system ultimately harms small farmers and depletes precious public resources.

Interview with Victor Cantore, President & CEO of Amex Exploration Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/amex-exploration-tsxv-amx-133m-in-annual-free-cash-flow-within-reach-at-quebec-gold-project-6378Recording date: 11th February 2025Amex Exploration is advancing its Perron gold project in Quebec's Abitibi region, pursuing a dual strategy of resource expansion and development validation. The project currently hosts 1.6 million ounces of gold across multiple high-grade zones, with only 20-25% of the 4,518-hectare property explored to date.The company's 2024 preliminary economic assessment (PEA) outlines robust project economics. The study projects average annual production of 101,000 ounces of gold over a 10-year mine life, with higher production of 124,000 ounces in the first five years. All-in sustaining costs are estimated at US$807/oz life-of-mine, dropping to US$739/oz in the first five years. At a US$2,000/oz gold price, the project demonstrates an after-tax NPV(5%) of $525 million and an IRR of 40.2%, with projected cumulative after-tax free cash flow of $767 million.Amex has two drill rigs currently operating on the property and is planning a balanced approach to its 2025 exploration program. The company will split its remaining funds equally between infill drilling to upgrade existing resources and exploration drilling to expand known zones and make new discoveries. The technical team is utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify the most promising targets in the unexplored 75-80% of the property.On the development front, Amex is evaluating several initiatives including a potential preliminary feasibility study and a bulk sample program similar to Osisko Mining's approach at their Windfall project. The company has also begun early-stage permitting work.Mid-tier producer Eldorado Gold holds a 9.9% strategic stake in Amex and provides quarterly technical guidance through regular meetings. While Amex is focused on advancing Perron independently, CEO Victor Cantore acknowledges the possibility of eventual acquisition interest from major miners given the project's high-grade nature and location in the mining-friendly Quebec jurisdiction.The investment thesis for Amex centers on its high-grade resource base, strong PEA economics, significant exploration upside, and strategic backing from Eldorado Gold. The company is operating in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt, a prolific gold region that has historically produced over 200 million ounces. With gold prices at multi-year highs and growing investor interest in development-stage companies, Amex appears well-positioned to deliver value through both resource growth and project advancement.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/amex-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/first-mining-gold-tsxff-ceo-believes-they-are-a-standout-in-a-dwindling-field-of-advanced-assets-6314Recording date: 4th February 2025First Mining Gold (TSX: FF) is strategically positioned with two of Canada's largest undeveloped gold projects - Springpole in Ontario and Duparquet in Quebec. Each project boasts over 5 million ounces of gold resources, placing them in the coveted "world-class" category at a time when such large-scale development projects are becoming increasingly scarce in Canada.The company's flagship Springpole project is advancing through the final stages of the federal Environmental Assessment process, with approval anticipated by the end of 2025. The Duparquet project, located in Quebec's prolific Abitibi gold belt, is also progressing with an environmental impact study underway.The timing appears favorable for First Mining, as the gold mining industry faces a significant challenge in replenishing reserves. Recent years have seen six major gold mines built in Canada, with Osisko's Windfall project becoming the seventh to enter construction. This development surge has left few large-scale projects in the pipeline, creating a potential supply gap that major producers will need to address.The scarcity of advanced gold projects, particularly those exceeding 5 million ounces, has driven up valuations in recent transactions. Projects of this scale in Canada have consistently commanded prices of $500 million or more, even before securing final permits. Notable examples include Newcrest Mining's $2.8 billion acquisition of Brucejack and Kirkland Lake Gold's $4.9 billion purchase of Detour Lake.Despite these comparable transactions, First Mining's market capitalization stands at just C$150 million, suggesting potential upside as the company progresses through key permitting milestones. The company has demonstrated capital efficiency by raising over $60 million through non-dilutive means over the past five years, including asset sales, royalty creation, and strategic partnerships.CEO Dan Wilton believes the industry is approaching a critical juncture, noting that only three projects are likely to secure approvals and permits for construction before 2030, with Springpole among them. This scarcity, combined with depleting reserves at major producers and a strong gold price environment, creates a compelling opportunity for First Mining.The current market dynamics, characterized by rising gold prices amid economic uncertainty and major producers' urgent need to replenish reserves, provide a supportive backdrop for advanced gold developers. With two large-scale projects advancing through permitting in tier-one jurisdictions, First Mining offers investors exposure to this emerging opportunity in the gold sector.View First Mining Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/first-mining-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Did you know season two of Windfall was released last December? If you haven't checked out the series, now is the perfect time! Check out this week's share, Surviving! About Windfall Windfall is a dystopian sci-fi/fantasy epic from the team that brought you Forgive Me! Ever since the tyrannical Wanda's castle appeared in the clouds above Windfall City, its residents have built upwards to meet her. But not everyone is convinced of Her Majesty's Grace. The series follows three brothers living on the surface alongside their family (chosen and otherwise), wary of the Queen's motives, and showcases what they must do to survive in a world that would rather leave them for dead. Season Two picks up three months after the disastrous events of Contact Day, where massive warships appeared in the sky and destroyed one of the city's four primary towers. The Wolfpac continues to round up “volunteers” to clear the rubble leftover from the wanton destruction, while the grounders have been forced into the city's depths to find a fragile sense of peace, as even the city's elite begin to question what place they have in this new and dangerously unpredictable version of Windfall City. We're excited to announce that we're heading back to the writer's room next month to start working on Season Two of Alpha 8.

In this episode of the Money Mastery Unleashed podcast, host Adam Olson dives into a real-life case study featuring a couple who inherited a significant sum of money and needed guidance on how to manage it. With $850,000 in cash from life insurance and the sale of a farm, these clients—referred to as Jack and Jill—were uncertain about their next financial steps. Adam walks listeners through the detailed process he used to help them navigate their financial decisions, offering practical advice for anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. Jack and Jill were careful savers but wanted to improve their lifestyle without depleting their inheritance. Their goals included taking annual family vacations, treating their children to dinners or events, and preparing for early retirement at age 60. Adam developed a strategy that not only secured their retirement but also allowed them to enjoy an enhanced lifestyle. He explains how he helped them allocate $50,000 to an emergency fund and invested the remaining $800,000 in dividend-paying stocks, generating over $25,000 annually in qualified dividends. These dividends were used to fully fund their Roth IRAs, ensuring future tax-free income at retirement. The episode also covers how Adam addressed the couple's concerns about long-term care. By converting their existing whole life insurance policies into a new indexed universal life contract with a long-term care rider, Jack and Jill eliminated their nursing home risk and lowered their premiums. This case study offers invaluable insights for listeners on how to grow wealth, secure retirement, and protect assets for future generations. Whether you have inherited wealth, sold a business, or simply accumulated cash over time, this episode provides actionable strategies for financial security and peace of mind. Tune in to learn how you can make the most of your cash and achieve your financial goals! “You have several options when you have a sizable amount of cash sitting in the bank account. One, you can spend it, or two, you can save it.” Key Takeaways: Managing funds wisely without depleting it Increase lifestyle modestly without compromising financial future Increasing tax-free retirement income Long-term care risk Learn more about Adam Olson by visiting the following links: Facebook Personal Website Business Website -- Investing involves risk, including loss of principal.    Be sure to understand the benefits and limitations of your available options and consider all factors prior to making any financial decisions.  Any strategies discussed may not be suitable for everyone.  Securities and advisory services offered through Mutual of Omaha Investor Services, Inc.
