- 10:31Speaker 17: of windows. Windows have three basic components frame material, insulated glass,
- 10:35Speaker 17: and balance mechanisms. How reliable is each component and are
- 10:38Speaker 17: costs associated with a warranty claim. Finally, the experience of

- 12:34Speaker 1: Awful, terrible place to live, absolutely horrible.
- 12:38Speaker 11: Now.
- 12:38Speaker 1: I think there's I think there's fatigue because Texas is
- 12:42Speaker 1: such a great state and a great place to.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Live, and we stay winning, and we tend to.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Talk about that fact that people are Probably there's some
- 12:49Speaker 1: people outside of Oh, that's just tank. It's not it's
- 12:53Speaker 1: good whatever, you know. Yeah, it's just the way it is.
- 12:56Speaker 1: And I'm sorry people who live elsewhere. I have lived elsewhere. Nothing,
- 13:01Speaker 1: nothing will tell you how good it is to live,
- 13:04Speaker 1: especially here in Brian College Station, but in general, in
- 13:07Speaker 1: the great state of Texas. Then spending nine years of
- 13:10Speaker 1: exile in Arkansas, Arkansas can be. Arkansas is great states, guys,
- 13:14Speaker 1: plus got some pluses. One of my favorite things is
- 13:17Speaker 1: that the population is less than Dallas Fort Worth, which
- 13:20Speaker 1: is state, the whole state. So if you don't like people,
- 13:23Speaker 1: Arkansas is a great place to be.
- 13:25Speaker 5: You been in Minnesota, I've never been to Minnesota. Uh,
- 13:29Speaker 5: Minnesota is having a moment right now, are they?
- 13:32Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 13:32Speaker 5: They actually ended up number three this year in the
- 13:35Speaker 5: top five states in the United States of America. Hell's
- 13:39Speaker 5: that possible, good question, Dusty. Number one is Utah, by
- 13:42Speaker 5: the way, another state that is having a moment. I
- 13:46Speaker 5: don't get that at all. I've been to Utah enough
- 13:49Speaker 5: to also, I don't like. I don't like expensive. Utah
- 13:52Speaker 5: is real expensive now probably didn't used to be, but
- 13:55Speaker 5: now through the roof expensive.
- 13:58Speaker 3: The roof also depends on what part you living in Utah.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Utah has gone. Utah has got some beautiful.
- 14:04Speaker 3: Places, deserts.
- 14:06Speaker 5: Those deserts involved desert people, and you don't want to
- 14:09Speaker 5: be around desert.
- 14:10Speaker 1: There are this where did this report come from? Was
- 14:11Speaker 1: this the US News and report?
- 14:14Speaker 3: US News and World Reports.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I'm going to suggest, and and this may be going
- 14:18Speaker 1: out on a limb, that there are certain media organizations
- 14:21Speaker 1: that they might have some bias or some some maybe
- 14:25Speaker 1: some underhanded tactics when it comes to this.
- 14:27Speaker 3: They have denied that might be a concern. But in
- 14:31Speaker 3: a completely different piece, I have the ten state fairs
- 14:34Speaker 3: that have the best food.
- 14:35Speaker 11: Oh okay, all right, now we're talking is.
- 14:38Speaker 3: That US Dad?
- 14:39Speaker 5: So this that we're taking all that out of their
- 14:41Speaker 5: crap and we're throwing it in the garbage.
- 14:42Speaker 3: We're just gonna look at something else.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Right, And this research came from YELP, so you know it's.
- 14:47Speaker 5: Solid number one with a bullet. Minnesota, how about that? Okay,
- 14:52Speaker 5: the Minnesota State Fair in Saint Paul, Minnesota, which we
- 14:55Speaker 5: have talked about the food there's and I'm not I
- 14:58Speaker 5: this is not it's probably legitimately incredible, but Texas ended
- 15:04Speaker 5: up at number six, under Indiana and New York and
- 15:11Speaker 5: just above the Big E which, if you've never heard of,
- 15:15Speaker 5: the Big East State Festival, I'm not surprised. It's a
- 15:20Speaker 5: combo of six state fest state fairs that happens.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Up in New England.
- 15:24Speaker 11: Yeah, to combine.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't have enough, you know, population to support
- 15:29Speaker 1: a real, big, singular state fair, so they they carpool.
- 15:33Speaker 3: This might be nitpicky.
- 15:36Speaker 11: Can you get a Fletcher's corn Dog at all of them?
- 15:38Speaker 3: I think?
- 15:39Speaker 7: So?
- 15:40Speaker 1: Come on, Fletcher's corn Dog? Yeah, you're you're proud to
- 15:43Speaker 1: be able to get a corn dog at all of them? Right,
- 15:45Speaker 1: that's gonna be ubiquitous.
- 15:47Speaker 11: I don't.
- 15:47Speaker 3: I just find it.
- 15:49Speaker 5: I find it offensive that you guys aren't going to
- 15:51Speaker 5: include I think you need to include the rodeo in
- 15:54Speaker 5: Houston as a state fair at.
- 15:56Speaker 1: This point, essentially because you know, our state fair has
- 15:58Speaker 1: has dropped the rodeo and the horse show, right and all.

- 36:17Speaker 5: That all, Right so what are We what are we
- 36:20Speaker 5: talking about today?
- 36:21Speaker 32: Today i'd love to take the opportunity to talk About
- 36:23Speaker 32: Brazzi's county pet. Licensing it is required by law In Brass.
- 36:28Speaker 32: County the city Of College station also has a city
- 36:30Speaker 32: ordinance requiring. It all you need is a current rabies, vaccine,
- 36:34Speaker 32: which as we, know that is also a, Requirement so
- 36:37Speaker 32: you should already have that for your.
- 36:39Speaker 11: Pet.
- 36:39Speaker 32: True if you, don't there's plenty of clinics in, town
- 36:42Speaker 32: or there's low cost vaccine options as. Well once you
- 36:45Speaker 32: have that rabies, vaccine you can get a county license
- 36:48Speaker 32: by visiting theli In Humane society's, website or you can
- 36:51Speaker 32: go to a local vet participating vet and purchase. Them
- 36:54Speaker 32: they are annual, licenses and this year they updated them
- 36:58Speaker 32: to come with like a LITTLE qr. Code it makes
- 37:00Speaker 32: it so much easier for us to get animals back.
- 37:03Speaker 32: Home there's nothing better than a caller and a tag
- 37:06Speaker 32: with your phone number on. There but the next best
- 37:08Speaker 32: step is going to be one of these county.
- 37:10Speaker 5: Licenses, yeah, Absolutely and and microchips, also you, know anything like,
- 37:15Speaker 5: that anything that gives you a, chance because you don't
- 37:18Speaker 5: realize how many animals come in and out of y'all's
- 37:21Speaker 5: possession and then shelters and. Everything it is so easy
- 37:25Speaker 5: when you have that material on there to be able
- 37:28Speaker 5: to get that animal back to, you whereas if you,
- 37:31Speaker 5: don't then there's so much checking and going back and
- 37:35Speaker 5: forth and trying to, validate and it's like just, yeah.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Yeah get the, license get the, tag get the, microchips
- 37:42Speaker 1: and what.
- 37:43Speaker 32: Happens, especially you, know if we can keep those animals
- 37:45Speaker 32: that we know are owned and just hey they got,
- 37:47Speaker 32: out if we can get them back home without them
- 37:49Speaker 32: ever having gone to the, shelter that provides opportunity, for you,
- 37:53Speaker 32: know other animals that are actually truly need to be
- 37:56Speaker 32: left there or be, homed and we're not taking up those. Spots,
- 38:00Speaker 32: hey you, know if your neighbor picks up your dog
- 38:02Speaker 32: and can easily, say, oh this belongs over, there so
- 38:05Speaker 32: much easier than calling us having to go up to
- 38:07Speaker 32: the shelter and do all those.
- 38:08Speaker 3: Things one.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Percent, Yes SO i got a question about how did
- 38:11Speaker 1: you get into animal.
- 38:13Speaker 32: CONTROL i actually started working at animal shelters In houston
- 38:17Speaker 32: right out of high. School oh, Wow So i've been
- 38:20Speaker 32: in animal welfare for about twenty years. Now oh And
- 38:24Speaker 32: i've been working for the city Of College station for
- 38:26Speaker 32: about sixteen and a lot of that.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Has been animals so it has any of your experience
- 38:29Speaker 1: and work changed the way you feel about animals.
- 38:34Speaker 32: SOMEWHAT i don't take everything home. ANYMORE i can tell
- 38:37Speaker 32: you THAT i definitely don't do. That BUT i was
- 38:41Speaker 32: pretty proud of myself WHEN i got down to one.
- 38:43Speaker 3: Dog what's the most you've ever had in your?
- 38:46Speaker 32: House, well are we counting reptiles and?
- 38:49Speaker 3: Things all the?
- 38:50Speaker 1: Animals?
- 38:51Speaker 32: Reptiles nobody ever just has, one get one and you
- 38:54Speaker 32: end up with a bunch of. Them But i'd say
- 38:56Speaker 32: we've had maybe two or three dogs and a few.
- 38:59Speaker 32: Cats you, Know, Oh i've got you so nothing out of.
- 39:03Speaker 32: Control BUT i always knew WHAT i can you, know
- 39:05Speaker 32: WHAT i could.
- 39:06Speaker 5: Manage you knew you knew there was a, lie because
- 39:09Speaker 5: there is a.
- 39:09Speaker 32: Lie and it is. Tough you, know people come into
- 39:12Speaker 32: the welfare industry all the, time animal. WELFARE i just
- 39:15Speaker 32: want to take them all, home but you quickly realize
- 39:17Speaker 32: the amount of work it is to properly take.
- 39:19Speaker 3: Care of these animals and the.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Expense, yeah and the.
- 39:21Speaker 32: Expense and that's a big one these days for.
