Podcast Episode Transcript:
It would be really strange if our homes didn't have windows. Um I'll tell you an upside though. If we lived in the earth, like in the earth, not on the earth, it would be a lot easier to control the temperature in our home. We wouldn't even need H VAC systems. We would just be perfect. However, that's not the way we live. Uh We live above ground, which is great. We have windows in our home. So I wanna talk about windows today on the program. So I asked my friend Lyndol Woodruff to join me here from Woodruff Windows. How you doing, buddy? Wonderful. How about yourself? Live in the dream. My friend live in the dream. Hey, a question has come in here to the studio and this question has come up over the years and I think it's a fair question about windows when people get their windows replaced, let's say it's a decent size home and there's 30 windows, which that happens all the time. 30 windows is a, is a rough number. Do they have to replace all the windows at once or can it be done in stages? Maybe just do the front or the back, well, from an efficiency standpoint to get the maximum benefits. Absolutely all at once, for sure. Yeah, because to get, you know? Yeah, because you don't want it to be efficient on one side and not the other. Also, if you're gonna get a home improvement done, we do it all at once. So, if you're gonna get your kitchen done, you don't get half the kitchen done. Like the old countertops on that side of the kitchen, but we'll put new countertops here. Oh, the fridge is on this side. So we'll get a new fridge, but we'll leave the stove, which is on the other side. No, do it all at once. It, it just makes more sense to get everything done because when you're out there doing the work and I know you guys are very conscientious and you do a great job. You really don't want the crew to come back out again. Right? Because it's a little inconvenient to have your windows replaced. It's definitely more cost effective for sure to do it all at the same time. You know, I mean, windows is an investment naturally. Some people want to know. Well, I want, I need to split it up up for cost sake. We've got a great financing partner that has amazing terms as far as, you know, 0% for 18 months with no minimum monthly payment required. So I have some people, they'll finance it and they won't even pay a payment for 10 months. As long as it's paid off within 18 months, you have no interest. So some people get a few more bonuses at work before they even make a payment. You know. So why not use somebody else's money to get it done now? Because that's gonna be the maximum benefit to your home. You're, you're gonna see a great drop in your bills immediately. That's the great thing about windows. You don't have to wait for the R O I, you know, the moment you get them all switched out, it already starts performing. So, um I highly recommend and of course, it's more cost effective to do it all at the same time because we're not making multiple trips and, you know, it's one pickup from the factory and we come and bring all the windows to the property and stay until it's done, you know. So we price in it a little bit different from one shot as opposed to phases. So, yeah. No, absolutely. It just makes a whole lot of sense. Um And you're right, the, the, um, the R O I is gonna happen real quick. Uh It doesn't matter if it's summer or winter, the air conditioning and heating system is gonna feel it immediately. And also it's not just saving money on the actual energy cost, it's going to allow your H VAC system to last longer because it's not running as hard and you're gonna be more comfortable. So on those really, really hot days that we get here in Texas, it's not gonna be as hot anymore. Regardless of how hard your air conditioning system works. If you have substandard windows, you're gonna be miserable. I had a lady put a Google Review the other day. That was astounded because her laundry room used to be smoldering. It was always in the direct beam of sunlight

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
