SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit! Home sweet home doesn't have to be a bottomless money pit, and we are here every week to take your calls and offer expert advice. This week, we're getting festive with last-minute Halloween treats and tackling your scariest home improvement dilemmas! Topics this week include: - Last-Minute DIY Halloween Decor: If Halloween snuck up on you, there is still time to haunt your house with easy decor ideas like using cheesecloth or gauze draped over balloons to create floating ghosts, cutting black trash bags into spiderwebs, or creating spooky silhouettes from paper and cardboard. - Budget-Friendly Yard Frights: We share quick and clever DIY lighting effects to transform your yard into a haunted masterpiece, including using toilet paper rolls with cellophane and LED lights tucked into bushes to create glowing eyes, or setting up a glowing, smoky cauldron with a fog machine or dry ice. - The Best Way to Store Decorations: Once the spooky season is over, you should sort and label indoor decor, wrap string lights around cardboard to prevent tangles, and ensure all outdoor items (like inflatables and lights) are completely dry before boxing them up to prevent mold and damage. - Fall Home Maintenance Wins: Leslie's Last Word offers easy projects to ready your home for winter, including draining off sediment from your tank-style water heater and swapping out the furnace filter to ensure warmer air and lower heating bills. Q & A: - John in Texas was questioning whether to install a metal roof over just 1x3 wood lath strips or over solid plywood sheathing on his new small home. Our recommendation is to use solid decking because it provides greater structural strength, reduces the loud noise caused by rain, and allows for better insulation. - Janet was looking for the best way to insulate a side entrance floor, debating whether to insulate from underneath or pull up the linoleum and plywood from the top. If she has access to the crawlspace, we advise inserting insulation between the joists from underneath, but note that the ceiling/attic should be insulated first. - Lauren asked if her neglected, ivy-damaged cedar siding was worth salvaging and what type of contractor to hire for the job. Our advice is to restore the siding by hiring a good painter to prep the surface and caulk seams, using a solid color stain for durability, and potentially hiring a carpenter to replace severely damaged boards. - Bosley emailed to say he wanted to remove a large bathroom mirror glued to the wall without breaking it and needed safety advice. The solution requires wearing protective gear and using a thin, strong wire, like piano wire or a guitar string, to carefully saw back and forth behind the mirror and cut through the adhesive.

This week's Connecticut Humane Society Pet of the Week is Bosley an 8-month-old mixed breed pup with a heart full of love and energy to spare! With his striking black and brindle coat, Bosley could have a mix of lab, shepherd, or pit bull in him, but what we do know for sure is that he's 100% adorable. Bosley came to the Connecticut Humane Society after his previous family could no longer care for him, and now he's looking for a new start. He's a sweet, playful dog who loves to be active. Since he's still young and growing, Bosley needs a family with adults or teens who can keep up with his energy, continue his training, and give him the exercise and enrichment he thrives on. If you're ready for long walks, playtime, and lots of puppy love, Bosley may just be the perfect match. He's available at the Connecticut Humane Society's Waterford location. To meet him, book an appointment at cthumane.org/adopt.
Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a long-time Paracast favorite, the inimitable Walter Bosley. He is an investigator of historical occult mysteries, author of pulp fiction novels and a screenwriter. Bosley is an inactive reserve officer in the United States Air Force for which he served as a Special Agent of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. Following his military service, he spent six years as a counter-terrorism operational consultant. He spends his time investigating historical occult mysteries as well as paranormal/UFO phenomena.

He'll also cover reports of a secret space program that has allegedly been run by the U.S. for decades. Bosley is the publisher of classic and gothic adventure, steampunk, science fiction, noir thrillers and non-fiction, and has appeared on History Channel's Ancient Aliens and Gaia's Beyond Belief.

Undertrain now, dominate later. That philosophy–his dad's choice to undertrain him in high school–turned a patient Wisconsin high schooler named Drew Bosley into one of the NCAA's fiercest finishers.At Northern Arizona University, Bosley became an NCAA cross country podium finisher, broke the collegiate indoor 3000m record in 7:36.42 (which has since been broken), and stacked All-American honors across multiple distances. Along the way, he clocked personal bests of 3:39.32 in the 1500m, 3:59.34 in the mile, 13:13.26 indoors and 13:17.06 outdoors for 5000m, and a blazing 27:53.48 for 10,000m–times that placed him among the nation's elite.His journey hasn't been without turbulence. A quiet 2024 season tested his patience and resolve, but the comeback was worth the wait. Bosley stormed back in April 2025 with a 27:53.48 personal best at the Stanford Invitational and later placed 20th in the 10,000m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.Then he held his own against America's best, placing seventh in the 10,000m at the USATF Outdoor Championship in Eugene.Now, Bosley is stepping onto the professional stage, signing with Nike's Swoosh Track Club in Flagstaff under coach Mike Smith. Patience is a strange weapon in distance running. Drew Bosley turned it into a superpower.In today's conversation, Drew takes me through his adversity over the past few years, how he overcame it, the dream of signing with NIKE, his plans for his pro-career, lessons from being a part of NAU's domination, learning Bob Dylan on the guitar, and so much more.

From the intricate dance of an ecosystem to the ripple effects of a warming planet, nature's stories are rarely simple. But in a world that craves quick, easy answers, how do we get people to lean in and listen to the full story? And how do we do that without glossing over the complexity and nuance of the situation?Today, we're getting a masterclass in just that with Jocelyn Bosely, a science communicator and Research Impact Coordinator at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. She'll walk us through how to move beyond simple explanations and get people excited about the deeper stories in the natural world.We'll dig into specific examples, like how a warming Indian Ocean can affect asthma rates in the Caribbean, and we'll even challenge the idea that scientists must be objective and emotionless.

What if the Nazi Bell wasn't reverse-engineered alien technology — but the result of a covert, 19th-century human aerospace program? In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Walter Bosley — former counterintelligence specialist, author, and independent investigator — to explore the hidden history behind the so-called “mystery airships” of the 1850s and their connection to NYMZA, a secretive Prussian-backed organization. Bosley walks us through the lineage of propulsion technology that may have started with engineer William Rankine in 1849 and continued through a group of German immigrants in California — decades before the U.S. Civil War. Their alleged airship designs bear striking similarities to the mechanisms seen during the Great Airship Mystery of the 1890s... and even to schematics of the Nazi Bell. We dig deep into Dellschau's drawings, the classified airship projects that may have begun after the Civil War, and the theory that the Bell was inspired not by extraterrestrial tech, but by ancient Vedic science — supercharged by human innovation. Bosley also busts myths about the so-called “Haunebu” saucers, revealing them as postwar propaganda, not historical fact. This is a journey through suppressed history, alternative aerospace origins, and the hidden skies of America's past.

In this episode, Sharona and Bosley discuss different ways to look at the grade wrap up portion of the grading architecture as it relates to learning outcomes as well as assessments. They discuss the well known "more hurdles, higher hurdles" metaphor but expand it into three different types of hurdles instead of the two we have used previously. From different learning outcomes, to different proficiency scale levels, to different levels of difficulty of problems on assessment, there are many way to distinguish an "A" from a "B" from a "C".

Send us a textWhat if embracing discomfort was actually the secret to happiness? In this powerful solo episode, Brian Bosley challenges conventional wisdom by introducing a game-changing concept: voluntary adversity—the practice of deliberately seeking out difficult experiences to build resilience and control over your life.Using the compelling metaphor of buffalo versus cows during storms, Bosley reveals why running toward challenges rather than away from them is transformative. While cows flee storms (extending their misery), buffalo charge directly into them, minimizing their time in discomfort. This natural wisdom applies directly to our lives—when we avoid pain, it pursues us relentlessly.The heart of this episode centers around the "happiness pie chart" that breaks down our contentment into three segments: 50% genetics, 10% external circumstances (money, status, possessions), and a crucial 40% intentional activities we can completely control. It's this 40%—particularly through voluntary adversity—where true transformation happens."Earn your comfort, don't seek it," Bosley advises, sharing his personal practices like cold plunges, weighted runs, and role-playing speeches before delivery. Through practical techniques including breathwork, mantras, and Mel Robbins' countdown method, he provides tools to overcome the mind's resistance to discomfort. With examples ranging from cold showers to public speaking to taking different routes home, he demonstrates how even small daily challenges build extraordinary resilience.The choice we face is stark: experience the temporary pain of work (rewarded forever) or the temporary reward of avoidance (regretted forever). Which wolf will you feed? Start practicing voluntary adversity today, and become truly undeniable.Support the showhttps://bamboolab3.com/
