New Episode Drop: Lies, Liars, Lying, and Letting Sleeping Dogs Lie
Plus: The candle that smells like a hot and dewy summer's eve can be yours; We made a jewelry-themed Spotify playlist perfect for summer.
NEW EPISODE DROP! In “Lies, Deceits, Falsehoods, and the Homosexual Agenda” (christened by Alain, naturally), JB and Alain chat about people in the jewelry industry who’ve unabashedly lied to them — or at minimum attempted to deceive (example: a Cartier ring that was not a Cartier ring). It’s good, semi-slanderous fun, so have a listen….

New Jewelry-Themed Rough Cut Playlist on Spotify
Emili made a new playlist of songs that are not only jewelry/gem coded but “are also great songs that span country, rock, pop, electro, psychedelic, what have you!” she says. Enjoy if you like—and happy summer!

We’ve debuted our first-ever piece of Rough Cut merch: a delectable-smelling candle— emblazoned with the pod’s logo—called Night Work. Because the very best work happens at night.
This chic burner has amazing throw (fragrance distribution), and looks quite ethereal when it’s lit up in its white glass vessel. Your purchase will help subsidize travel for JB and Emili, who fly and train into NYC, respectively, for recordings, allow us to plan and record more special episodes as a group, and keep us in coffee and cookies at Alain’s dining room table, where we record episodes.
Night Work candle details:
Jasmine, black amber, and musk collide to create a deeply intriguing, sexy, and sophisticated fragrance. Are you in the Maltese port of Valletta on a hot and dewy summer’s eve? Maybe, but you could be working at your bench into the twilight hours while burning this baby, letting the aroma transport you somewhere far away. And with an over 50 hour burn time, you can stay as long as you need to get the job done. We’ve spent a lot of time designing this and we hope you love it as much as we do.
