This week, the boys crack open the story of Bob Lazar, the jet-car-building DIY rocket scientist who claims he was recruited to work on extra-terrestrial technology at a secret site near Area 51. From Element 115 and anti-gravity engines to messy credentials and even messier life choices, Lazar's story is equal parts fascinating and equal parts ridiculous; however, essential to what helped turn Area 51 into one of the weirdest legends in American history.

Meanwhile Brian shakes his fist at the clouds. There is also an urgent need to buy a new guitar and Blake's friends have car / tree interface issues while Brian turns to Workaholicism. Brian was contacted by a listener who actually wanted us to veer off topic more and talk about UFOs and Aliens and somehow the Bank of England is involved. There is some current affairs talk that relates to strings and Brian likes a thick bottom and considers dressing like Justin Bieber.Richard has got his hands on a Pedalhead and he is very excited but he only has it for a small amount of time and he is already impressed. He also has had a chance to spend some time with his new Blackstar ID:X Floor 3 and gives us some feedback before destroying his internet connection.

What if the IRS already allows you to write off far more of your real estate, but no one ever showed you how?In today's episode, Tait Duryae sits down with Gian Pazzia to break down cost segregation in plain English and explain why it remains one of the most powerful tax strategies for real estate investors. Building on last week's depreciation primer with Hall CPA, this episode covers how cost segregation works, when it makes sense, audit risk myths, and how pilots can apply it to everything from single-family rentals to commercial deals. You'll also learn about a new, low-cost software option that makes cost seg accessible to smaller investors.Gian Pazzia is a structural engineer and tax strategist with over 25 years of experience specializing in cost segregation studies. He is the founder of KBKG, one of the largest cost segregation firms in the country.

Ever had a client say, “If it's not broken, don't fix it,” while you stare at a rusted filter and a pump on life support? We've been there. This episode breaks down the real-world tactics we use to manage budget-conscious pool owners without sacrificing water quality, service standards, or our sanity. From aging equipment that “still runs” to two-hour runtimes in peak summer, we unpack where to accommodate and where to draw a hard line.We start with the classic dilemmas: old pumps, rebuild-only requests, and short warranties that shift risk onto your shoulders. Then we move into strategy. We explain why automatic cleaners are a cornerstone of our business model, how they slash vacuum time and keep pools clean between visits, and what to offer when clients hate the look of hoses in a designer pool. We also tackle runtime math—why circulation beats chemical band-aids—and show you how to present costs and benefits in clear, simple terms that build trust.We round it out with boundaries that protect both sides. You'll hear our policy for DIY filter cleaning and how to handle missed cleanings without drama, plus the exact offboarding language we use when a client won't align with the basics. The theme is simple: set expectations, document options, and know when to walk away. If 10 percent of your clients create 90 percent of your stress, pruning that 10 percent can make your route faster, cleaner, and far more profitable.If you're ready to streamline your pool service, reduce callbacks, and work with clients who value your expertise, this conversation lays out the playbook. • defining budget-conscious clients and why they strain service• examples of old equipment, rebuilds, and warranty limits• bending where it helps versus where it harms• runtime minimums and why chemicals can't replace circulation• automatic cleaners as a core business rule• aesthetic objections and robotic alternatives• DIY filter cleaning pitfalls and firm maintenance policies• graceful offboarding scripts to avoid conflict• the 10 pSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

On this week's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain in a big way and talking about something I know is going to ruffle a few feathers: why courses are actually the worst way to scale your business. I've built a multi 6-figure business while working 20 hours a week, and I can tell you firsthand — it wasn't from selling a $97 course or chasing "passive income." I've been on both sides of this. I've coached clients through scaling decisions, and I've lived it myself, including shutting down my own program when it started to feel like a course and became harder — not easier — to scale. In this episode, I break down: Why low-ticket, DIY courses require way more volume than most people realize What really happens behind the scenes of "passive income" Why DIY courses are becoming harder to sell in a world with AI What actually allowed me to become a 20-hour-a-week breadwinner Why high-touch group programs are easier to sell and more fulfilling If you've been told that courses are the only way to scale — or you're feeling stuck trying to make one work — this episode will give you the clarity you need to make smarter decisions about how you grow.

This episode dives into the side of moving abroad most people overlook: the psychological shift. Siddartha breaks down the four ways people respond to a new culture—and why true integration, not assimilation, is what actually leads to long-term fulfillment. They explore the hidden crossroads many expats hit around year two and again years later, moments that quietly determine whether life abroad thrives or unravels. The takeaway is clear: moving countries will change you—having the right framework helps you turn that change into growth instead of burnout.

Are you buying detailing products you don't actually need? In this episode, I break down the most overhyped DIY car detailing products that are pushed hard by marketing—but don't make sense for real-world car care. We cover graphene and triphene, borophene ceramic coatings, all-in-one waterless wash ceramic sprays, iron removers vs color-changing wheel cleaners, why multiple compounds and polishes are unnecessary for DIYers, the truth about pH-neutral-only car wash soaps, and why you don't need multiple wash buckets to safely wash your car. This video is for DIY detailers who want better results, safer washing, and a simpler setup—without falling for hype. Pros may need specialized products, but if you're maintaining your own vehicle, less gear and better technique will always win. If you're tired of cluttered shelves, confusing product claims, and gimmicks in the detailing world, this episode will save you money and make detailing easier.

In this episode we answer emails from Sebastian, Mark, and James. We discuss the purpose of treasury bond allocations, annuity cash flows, and where rentals fit, goofy accounting for taxes, a bridge to social security and answer questions about Testfolio and data sources. And celebrate Catherine O'hara.And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page: Donate - Father McKenna CenterImmediate Annuities: Immediate Annuities - Income Annuity Quote Calculator - ImmediateAnnuities.comPortfolio Charts Data Sources Page: Data Sources – Portfolio ChartsBreathless Unedited AI-Bot SummaryMarkets threw a curveball this week: gold ripped, then slipped; small cap value popped; long bonds mostly yawned. We use the noise as a lesson in clarity—every asset in a risk parity mix has a job. Treasuries aren't for yield; they're for recession insurance and rebalancing power when stocks sag. Gold, managed futures, and value are there to diversify return drivers so you're not betting your future on a single story.We dig into a listener's Golden Ratio allocation with annuitized payouts and single-family rentals. The key is classification. Treat rentals as income if you're keeping them, or as a future lump sum if you plan to sell—but don't try to count both the cash flow and the equity for rebalancing. We also tackle the “can I replace treasuries with X?” question, and explain why the only valid substitute must reliably rise when recessions hit. If it won't go up when growth falls, it isn't doing the bond job.From there, we clean up two planning snags that trip up even seasoned DIY investors. First, the tax myth: don't “tax-adjust” asset values across accounts. Taxes are expenses, not asset haircuts. Optimize location, model annual tax liabilities, and keep the allocation true on the asset side. Second, Social Security modeling: the most practical move is to add it as an inflation-indexed future cash flow in a robust planner. If you need a present value for net worth, price a comparable inflation-adjusted deferred annuity instead of guessing with discount rates. For bridging years before benefits start, a TIPS ladder can unlock higher, earlier spending without warping your core portfolio.We wrap with a clear performance snapshot and withdrawals across eight sample portfolios, from the classic Golden Butterfly and Golden Ratio to levered experiments and a return-stacked build. The thread through it all is discipline: know each asset's purpose, keep cash intentional, rebalance when markets hand you spread, and let validated data—not hunches—drive decisions.Support the show

瘦瘦針近年席捲全台,在大眾「瘦得更快、更美」的想像之外,台大醫院內分泌新陳代謝科主治醫師李弘元提醒,非肥胖族群使用瘦瘦針,可能承受未知風險,形同「拿自己做實驗」。 其實,瘦瘦針非一般保健品,而是需要醫師評估、開立處方箋才能取得的藥物;原是糖尿病患者用來控制血糖,後來發展為協助肥胖族群減重。但記者實際深入調查後卻發現,該藥物除了內分泌新陳代謝科可以開立,事實上,任何科別包括婦產科、耳鼻喉科、醫美診所等,都能給藥且是寬鬆給藥,甚至出現私下流通藥物的網路社群,還有賣家宣稱可替需求者至日本「假看診、真代購」針劑。 也因為有人私下購買施打,為了不浪費,有人自行DIY抽取殘劑繼續施打,但在缺乏無菌保證、甚至可能共用針劑的情況下,反而提高藥品受汙染的風險。 這集,我們邀來非糖尿病及肥胖族群的使用者陳栢青,分享他除了曾使用過瘦瘦針,還在泰國旅遊時見證了「瘦瘦針潮流」的經歷,他施打後遇到哪些成效與副作用?瘦還要更瘦背後,有著什麼樣的焦慮?以及,潛入各大瘦瘦針交流群組的記者如儀,有哪些第一線觀察?原本醫療用途的瘦瘦針趨向醫美化,李弘元醫師有哪些擔憂與呼籲? 03:21 瘦瘦針到底是什麼?為何從糖尿病患者用藥,發展成減重用藥? 08:24 達到哪些指標才能使用瘦瘦針減重? 11:29 被凝視、被拍照的網路社群時代下,非肥胖者的減重焦慮 13:16 栢青施打4週瘦瘦針後,除了體態,還有哪些改變? 23:12 醫師對瘦瘦針使用者的飲食控制、生活調整建議? 28:39 記者潛入私藥社群的第一線觀察 37:45 無處方箋、無醫囑在網路、藥局私下買賣瘦瘦針有哪些風險? 46:27 栢青使用瘦瘦針的副作用,及李醫師的患者經驗 49:35 什麼是「瘦瘦針臉」?又掀起另一股醫美商機? 53:44 瘦瘦針可能逐漸從醫療使用趨向醫美需求? 來賓|台大醫院內分泌新陳代謝科主治醫師李弘元、作家陳栢青、記者翁如儀 製作團隊|李雪莉、藍婉甄、林彥伶 攝影|陳曉威

In the summer of 2021 Mark and his fiancé Heather sold everything they owned to buy bare, rural acreage in the mountains of Idaho.

Mark's channel shares the successes and failures quite openly, providing insight in to what the lifestyle actually requires.In this episode, Dave and Mark discuss the journey of homesteading, the importance of food in rural living, and the art of cooking. Mark shares his experiences growing up with food, his culinary career, and the transition to off-grid living. They explore food preservation techniques, the significance of community involvement in food production, and the role of hunting in modern life.

In this episode we answer emails from Gregory, Rick and Graham. We discuss some more amateur ideas on gold and cash buffers, and modeling managed futures, and we explain why costs and liquidity often matter more than the story you're told. We share tools, back-tests, and resources that help DIY investors build smarter, calmer portfolios.Graham's "Fall Back" instructions for inputs for Testfolio: "For example, since you typically use DBMF but would want to back test further, one can write DBMFSIM?FB=KMLMSIM which will use DBMF as far back as it can, then fall back to using KMLM. Did you know these can be chained? One can fallback onto commodities beyond the KMLM simulation, like this: DBMFSIM?FB=KMLMSIM?FB=GSGSIM."Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page: Donate - Father McKenna CenterVideo on Hedge Fund Market Wizards: Jack Schwager presents: 15 Hedge Fund Market Wizards trading secrets & insights in their own wordsInfinite Loops Podcast with Cliff Asness: Surviving the Meme Stock Bubble | Cliff AsnessExcess Returns with Aswath Damodaran: The Bubble Most Will Get Wrong | Aswath Damodaran on How He Is Investing in a World of AIManaged Futures/Trend Following Paper for Download: A Century of Evidence on Trend-Following InvestingGraham's Full House Portfolio: testfol.io/?s=5cyAAHgo1OHBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:What if the biggest edge in your portfolio isn't a hot strategy but the boring details—costs, liquidity, and the ability to rebalance in seconds? We dig into listener questions on gold, long-term treasuries, cash buffers, and managed futures, and we separate evidence from stories that sound good but quietly erode returns. We look at why an 80 percent stocks and 20 percent gold mix can be fine during accumulation, yet struggle in retiree withdrawals when stocks and gold sometimes fall together. Then we explain how duration from long treasuries can change the drawdown math, especially in recessions.We also push back on the temptation to chase yield on vaulted physical gold. Once you add spreads, storage, transaction fees, and redemption friction, that “yield” comes at a cost, and you sacrifice the instant liquidity your rebalancing plan needs. Gold ETFs give you precise position sizing and near-zero friction so you can trim, add, and move on. On cash, we keep it blunt: a small buffer for bills makes sense, but large multi-year cash cushions drag safe withdrawal rates over time. Replenish cash by trimming whichever asset has run hot—simple rules, fewer regrets.For listeners trying to model managed futures, we cover why commodity funds are poor proxies and how to use Testfolio's fallback feature to extend DBMF or KMLM backtests across regimes. The larger message is pragmatic: stop searching for the perfect allocation and build a naively diversified mix that can handle growth, inflation, and shocks without prediction. Want to see how this plays out? Hit play, take notes, and test a small, real-money experiment in a side account to learn your own behavior.If this conversation helped you think more clearly about diversification, costs, and withdrawals, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who's rethinking their portfolio right now.Support the show

This week we're joined by award winning filmmaker Greg Porper, writer, director, and producer of the darkly funny indie feature Don't Tell Larry, now streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV. We talk about the film's evolution from a scrappy web series into a feature, finding the right tone for a workplace comedy that slowly spirals into something more stressful and unsettling, and how a small lie can snowball into complete chaos.Greg breaks down the real world inspiration behind Larry...that coworker thats just a bit off and no one wants to deal with and how performances from Kiel Kennedy, Patty Guggenheim, Kenneth Mosley, and Ed Begley Jr. helped shape the film in unexpected ways. We also dig into casting surprises, comedic timing, and the blurry line between comedy and horror where laughter turns nervous; tension builds without release and the movie refuses to let you off the hook. Along the way Greg shares stories from the DIY side of production, lessons learned making an indie film right now and what's next for him after Don't Tell Larry.And as usual before the chat we catch up on some horror news and afterward we wrap things up with our Mostly Horror Recommendations of the Week sooo...COME HANG OUT!!!

Episode Introduction This episode of The Homeowners Show features hosts Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams discussing current trends in the housing market, personal finance related to homeownership, and a practical DIY project. Real Estate Market Update Mortgage Rates: Rates have dropped to their lowest point since 2023, falling below 6% and even reaching 5.9% for some loans. FHA and VA loans are seeing rates around 5.9%, while traditional loans are in the low 6% range. Buyer's Market: There are currently 500,000 more home sellers than buyers, indicating a buyer's market. This shift suggests that prices may begin to decrease, and buyers have more negotiation power. Affordable Homes: While many homes are priced high, there are still options available for under $200,000, typically smaller, newer constructions. The hosts advocate for buying within one's means and prioritizing essential home features over excessive luxury. Financial Advice for Homeowners Smart Spending: The hosts emphasize the importance of making financially sound decisions, such as buying a home that is affordable rather than stretching to the absolute limit. This approach can lead to less financial stress and more disposable income for home improvements and personal enjoyment. Investment vs. Renting: Homeownership is generally presented as a better financial decision than renting, even for smaller, more affordable properties, as it builds equity over time. Avoiding Unnecessary Debt: The discussion highlights the negative impact of taking on excessive debt for a home, potentially leading to marital strain and unhappiness. DIY Project: Garage Door Opener Installation The Problem: Craig's garage door opener failed due to a worn-out plastic gear. The Solution: After initially considering professional replacement, which was quoted at three times the cost of the unit itself, Craig opted for a DIY installation. Technology & Tools: ChatGPT Assistance: AI was used to research compatible brands and installation nuances, revealing that multiple brands share the same mounting mechanisms. Chamberlain B6753T: The chosen smart garage door opener features Wi-Fi connectivity, a camera for deliveries (with a subscription service), a microphone, and a backup battery. Installation App: A dedicated app provided interactive 3D models and video guidance, making the installation process significantly easier and more detailed than traditional manuals. Key Features: The new opener is remarkably quiet and features a powerful LED light bar (2000 lumens) that illuminates the entire garage. Cost Savings: DIY installation saved approximately $1200 compared to professional service. Social Commentary Protests and Child Involvement: The hosts express dismay at seeing young children holding vulgar protest signs, criticizing the irresponsibility of parents who expose their children to such environments and language. Focus on Service: They advocate for channeling energy from unproductive protests into positive actions, such as volunteering and helping those in need. Economic Stabilization: Despite controversies, the hosts acknowledge that the current economic conditions have stabilized, leading to increased consumer confidence and spending. Upcoming Content The hosts mention exciting interviews and content planned for the year ahead. Call to Action Viewers are encouraged to like, subscribe, and leave reviews for The Homeowners Show.

Don and Tom kick off the show with weekend banter and nostalgia about checkbooks before diving into why buying and selling a home remains one of life's biggest—and most misunderstood—financial decisions. Using a Wall Street Journal quiz, they explore smart pricing, commission negotiations, low-cost home improvements, inspections, seasonal pricing patterns, and even haunted-house disclosures. Along the way, callers ask about life insurance planning, tax-managed accounts, umbrella insurance, and retirement income strategy.
