Todd Miller and co-host Ryan Bell welcome Austin Rosenbaum of Demand IQ to discuss rapid changes in home improvement marketing and lead generation, focusing on pricing transparency and instant online estimates.Austin explains how Demand IQ evolved from a data-driven marketing agency into a software platform that helps contractors provide online budget estimates to qualify leads, reduce friction, and improve conversion. He describes contractor adoption challenges since 2019, noting increased interest in the past year, and outlines how COVID accelerated digital shopping behavior, especially among millennials and Gen Z.The episode highlights Google's new “online estimates” search filter and the risks of ignoring deep-funnel channels like Google and Meta.

A new furnace or air conditioner costs thousands of dollars. Many homeowners don't have that much cash on hand, which can create a financial crisis. A loan may be an option, or the contractor may offer financing, usually through a third-party lender. But beware: A recent Consumers' Checkbook investigation found that many contractors use these emergencies to push bad financing plans on their stressed out customers.In this episode, Checkbook's Executive Editor Kevin Brasler explains how some homeowners are being tricked into leasing their HVAC equipment when they thought they were buying it.More from Checkbook: Home Improvement Financing: Watch Out for Shady DealsRelated Consumerpedia Episodes:#30 – HVAC: Finding Good Contractors & Choosing New Equipment#44 – Should You Repair or Replace a Broken Appliance? #87 – Don't Get Burned by Solar ScammersNot a Checkbook member?

Looking like we're going to get into the 50's later this week before more snow hits us on Saturday. In the news this morning, Robert Carradine passed away at the age of 71, an update on the search for Nancy Guthrie, a Canadian man is going viral for taking a chainsaw to his television after the US Men's Hockey gold medal win at the Olympics, and a man with Tourette Syndrome had a very untimely outburst at the BAFTA awards over the weekend. In sports, the Bucks play tonight against the Heat, the Badgers are out of the Top 25 and take on Ohio State tomorrow night, Lindsey Vonn's leg almost got amputated after her crash at the winter games, the US Women's Hockey team declines President Trump's invite to the White House, and it looks like Manny Pacquiao is going to fight Floyd Mayweather again. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and what's new on New Release Tuesday. Plus, a former star of "Home Improvement" gets sentenced to 16 months in jail. Elsewhere in sports, Kevin Harvick's son signs a deal with Toyota, Tyrese Haliburton has shingles, and a look ahead at the next Olympic games in 2028. Vogue has apparently declared 2026 "The Year of the Crack". And a list of things that seem impressive until you actually do them. Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show joined us just after 8am to talk about the Brewers' rough start to spring training and his recap of the Olympics. Wild story about a moving crew in Phoenix that helped save a 3 year-old after an Amber Alert was issued, and a woman's diamond went missing but was later found on the bottom of some guy's shoe! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a food delivery robot that destroyed a woman's garden, a college professor who got caught saying some racist stuff with a hot mic, a kid who was the victim of a throat-slashing is going viral for his attitude during a TV interview with his mom, and a guy in Kentucky got busted for having sex with roadkill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Clemenz With a “Z,” I'm stepping outside my usual conversations about church and control and into something that's been quietly sitting with me for years: the way we define success for our kids. Every June, neighborhoods fill with yard signs celebrating college commitments, and I can't help but ask, where are the yard signs for future carpenters? In this episode, I reflect on my own high school experience with “two tracks,” the subtle tone that labeled one path as less than, what I saw later as a teacher, and why all of this ultimately comes down to purpose. Drawing on Viktor Frankl and even a surprising moment from Home Improvement, this conversation isn't anti-college, it's about dignity, meaning, and making room for every kind of intelligence. Because not every boy wants to build… but every boy deserves a world that believes he could. If anything in this episode resonated with you and you would like to reach out to me you can drop me a line at clemenzwithaz@gmail.com or drop a DM at the clemenz with a "Z" instagram page.

Home improvement expert, Bill McAnally offers advice on all things rooves: if and when it's time for a new roof, what options are and what options are worth it.

Home Improvement Stories: Roof snowblowing, screwdriver in thigh, cheap dad by 102.9 The Hog
It's Monday, February 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus U.S. sends troops to Nigeria amid ISIS fight The U.S. has deployed a military team to Nigeria as part of a growing effort to assist in counterterrorism operations against Islamic State-linked terrorists. The move marks the first publicly acknowledged presence of American forces on the ground following U.S. airstrikes in Nigeria on Christmas Day, reports The Christian Post. A senior U.S. military commander told Reuters the deployment was carried out in agreement with the Nigerian government. Nigerian Defense Minister Christopher Musa confirmed that U.S. personnel were active in the country. Team USA skiers not proud of America because of Trump (Audio: Olympic theme song) American freestyle skiers are facing intense backlash on social media after comments made about representing the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy amid the Trump administration's recent immigration enforcement operations in the U.S., reports Fox News. Speaking to the media ahead of Friday's opening ceremony, two-time Olympian and Olympic gold medalist Chris Lillis, who's competing in the men's aerials, said, "I feel heartbroken about what's happening in the United States. I'm pretty sure you're referencing I.C.E. and some of the protests and things like that. I think that, as a country, we need to focus on respecting everybody's rights." And first-time Olympian Hunter Hess, who's competing in the men's free ski halfpipe, said, “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now. … There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren't. "I'm representing my friends and family back home … all the things that I believe are good about the U.S. If it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S.” The remarks elicited a strong response from Team USA supporters on social media. One wrote, "The anti-ICE, liberal athletes are already insufferable at the Olympics. If you're not proud to represent the red, white, & blue, stay home." Another wrote, "Chris Lillis and Hunter Hess should be sent back home immediately. They have insulted our entire nation on the world stage and should no longer be allowed to represent us." House Speaker Johnson: “Borders and walls are Biblical.” In response to Pope Leo's claim that Trump's deportation efforts are unbiblical, House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana was asked to defend President Trump's deportation of illegal immigrants Biblically. REPORTER: “Pope Leo has cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in Scripture?” JOHNSON: “Borders and walls are Biblical. From the Old Testament to the New [Testament], God has allowed us to set up our civil societies and have separate nations. Immigration is not something that's frowned upon in Scripture. In fact, it's welcome. We're to welcome the sojourner and love our neighbor as ourself. “When people cite passages out of the Old Testament, they say, well, you're supposed to take care of the sojourner and the neighbor, treat them as yourself, welcome then in. Yes, but that is an admonition to individuals, not to the civil authorities.” Speaker Johnson cited the book of Romans to bolster his point Biblically. JOHNSON: “The civil authorities are given authority under Scripture to maintain order. Romans 13 says that the ‘civil authorities are God's agents of wrath to bring punishment upon the wrongdoer.' And it says, ‘If you do right, you have no fear of the civil authorities.' “But those civil authorities are necessary. It's a calling. It's a calling to maintain order in society. And we have not had that. “When Biden and Harris opened the borders wide for four years, we had as many as 20 million illegals come across the country. And we all know many dangerous people -- hardened criminals, child molesters, rapists, murderers, all the rest, terrorists -- who came into the country. We did not take care of our borders. “Sovereign borders are Biblical and good and right and they're just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.” Planned Parenthood drops lawsuit trying to get federal funding back Planned Parenthood has thrown in the towel on its efforts to preserve its primary federal funding, voluntarily dismissing its lawsuit against the defunding provision of the Trump administration's signature legislation, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Last July, President Donald Trump signed into law his “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, a wide-ranging policy package that includes a one-year ban on federal tax dollars going through Medicaid to any that provides abortions for reasons other than rape, incest, or supposed threats to the mother's life. According to Operation Rescue, 54 abortion mills shut their doors in 2025, 36 of which were Planned Parenthood abortuaries. Planned Parenthood sued, alleging that even though it was not specifically named in the Trump defunding bill, it was effectively the only organization that qualified under the bill's language and that losing that money would cause “devastating” layoffs and location closures. Erik Baptist, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “The American people do not want their tax dollars propping up the abortion industry. … We will continue to stand against any attempts by the abortion giant to force Americans to fund dangerous procedures.” Actor Tim Allen ‘amazed' after reading entire Bible And finally, actor Tim Allen recently finished reading through the entire Bible word for word, reports FaithWire.com. On X, he wrote, “Finished the entire Bible. It's been a 13-month, word-by-word, page-by-page, no-skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much.” Allen has recently been increasingly vocal about his Christian faith journey. He also sat down with fellow comedian Bill Maher for a conversation on Maher's “Club Random.” The “Home Improvement” star had quite a bit to say about the Apostle Paul and the downside of empty philosophy. ALLEN: “Without law, you don't know what sinful is. So, law was basically just to give you guardrails of what the world is. What you're going to find is the cycle of ignorance with philosophy. And that's where I've been in the last 20 years. Philosophy gets run in these circles. It can't explain anything really.” In Colossians 2:8, the Apostle Paul warns, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, February 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

This week, we're getting a little extra star power at the Home Owners Expo when Richard Karn—forever "Al Borland" from Home Improvement—comes to Annapolis for the February 21–22 show. And I caught up with Karn for a quick conversation about what he's looking forward to at the expo, and we went well beyond tool time. He shared a few memories from the Home Improvement years, including how different the real Richard is from the character millions came to know, and what the cast was actually capable of when the cameras weren't rolling. We also talked about his roots in theater, how that shaped his approach on set, and what he considers the most rewarding part of his career so far—after decades in front of audiences.
