This episode of the Homeowner Show dives into a variety of topics, from a humorous take on a political video to a deep dive into the best chicken sandwiches and a detailed review of a new pizza oven.

The hosts begin by discussing a recent video dropped by Donald Trump, finding humor in its content and the reactions to it. They touch upon the implications of such videos in the current political landscape.

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to a lively debate about chicken sandwiches. The hosts share their personal "food confessions," with one host declaring Popeyes chicken sandwich superior to Chick-fil-A's, citing specific aspects like the chicken's crispiness and the sauce.

The conversation shifts to practical homeowner advice with a spotlight on True Texas Solar and Roofing.

They also stress the importance of choosing reputable roofing professionals, noting the lack of licensing in Texas and advising listeners to be wary of unqualified contractors.

The hosts share their recent dining experiences, including a decadent meal at The Refuge featuring a tomahawk steak and lobster. This leads into a detailed review of a new Chefmate electric pizza oven. The host expresses initial skepticism about an electric oven but is ultimately impressed by its ease of use, consistent cooking, and the delicious results. They walk through the process of making pizza dough from scratch using a specialized kit and discuss the pros and cons of various dough-making methods. The review also addresses a negative Amazon review, humorously dissecting the complaints about the oven's controls.

The video is episode number 343 of the Homeowner Show, hosted by Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams. They begin by discussing the end of the year and the approaching new year, reflecting on the past year's accomplishments and takeaways.

Before diving into their review, they thank their sponsor, 2 Texas Solar and Roofing, highlighting their services for solar installation and roofing needs, including generators and backup batteries.

The hosts then address a common concern for new homeowners, sharing a Reddit post from a first-time homebuyer experiencing anxiety and second thoughts after closing on their house. They reassure listeners that these feelings are normal, as buying a home is a significant and often stressful event. They emphasize that the value of a home often increases over time and that personal satisfaction with the home is paramount.

The conversation shifts to memorable features seen in houses they've encountered. Craig shares his childhood memory of an indoor swimming pool in a friend's house, while Kevin recounts seeing a spectacular underground wine cellar in Houston, noting the unique architecture and ambiance.

They then transition into a year-end review of topics discussed in 2025. Key points include:

Krazy Klean Works: A product that effectively descales toilets, noting its continued efficacy for over a year.

Gun Storage: A reminder about the importance of secure and diverse gun storage solutions, urging listeners to re-evaluate their own setups.

Navy SEAL Claims: A discussion about the issue of individuals falsely claiming to be Navy SEALs, and the importance of verifying credentials, referencing their earlier interview with Don Shibley.

Squatter Rights: Highlighting the ongoing issue of squatters and the legal protections they sometimes have, and criticizing social media platforms for not removing content that promotes illegal squatting.

Interest Rates: Observing that interest rates have stabilized, though not significantly decreased, and that home prices remain high, leading to a slower housing market.

Normalization of Luxury: Discussing the trend of first-time homebuyers expecting high-end features, which drives up costs and reduces the availability of more affordable starter homes.

Frugal Living and Homeownership: Sharing an anecdote about a couple who successfully paid off their starter home in 10 years by living frugally on one income, demonstrating the financial benefits of such an approach.

Insulation Claims: Debunking the concept of "pest-resistant insulation," explaining that while some materials might be less attractive to pests, no insulation truly prevents them. They caution against companies using this marketing to inflate prices.

Importance of Research and Due Diligence: Emphasizing the need for homeowners to research contractors, get multiple bids, and be wary of exaggerated claims, particularly from large corporations that may not prioritize individual customer needs. They advocate for smaller, local businesses with a vested interest in their community reputation.

In this episode, Kevin and Craig sit down with Tom Kubiniec, CEO of SecureIt Tactical, to talk about the real science behind firearm storage, what every homeowner gets wrong about gun safes, and why “fast access” is more than just convenience—it’s survival.

Tom’s story is incredible: from professional guitarist to the leading authority in military armory design, to building the firearm storage platform used by U.S. Special Forces. He breaks down how the industry misleads consumers, why fire ratings are basically a myth, how thieves actually move through a home, and how strategic decentralized storage can protect families better than any giant safe in the basement.

Whether you own one gun or twenty, this episode will change the way you think about securing them in your home.

Tom is the founder & CEO of SecureIt Tactical, the largest supplier of weapon storage systems to the U.S. military and a leading innovator in consumer gun storage. Drawing from engineering, armory design, and decades of field experience, Tom brings a radically different approach to safe firearm access and security.

Kevin and Craig celebrate both of their teams making the college football playoffs, share Thanksgiving updates, and Kevin unveils his new massive smoker setup.

Craig previews a bizarre story he’s investigating involving wild pigs with blue fat and potential rodenticide contamination.

Tom shares his unbelievable journey:

Touring musician

Guitar Player Magazine feature

Career-ending tendonitis

Becoming a top-tier sales expert

Accidentally entering the weapon storage world through the FBI

Eventually becoming the authority in military armory design

Tom explains how working with Special Operations Command led to the SecureIt Tactical Weapon Storage Platform—an engineering-first system built around:

Simplicity

Modularity

Zero-fail access

Storing firearms in one clean row

Never digging through guns to get to a gun

Tom blows up one of the gun industry’s biggest selling points:

Fire ratings are static tests that don’t reflect real fires

Real house fires involve wind, pressure, and 2000°F+ temps

Even “90-minute” safes often fail in minutes

Any gun exposed to high temps becomes a liability, not a keepsake

Tom walks through real crime data and explains:

Thieves spend 9 minutes in a home

Master bedrooms are the least secure spot

Kitchens and front-door closets are far safer

A massive safe is a single point of failure

SecureIt’s decentralized storage model:

Smaller modular safes

Multiple locations

Faster access

Higher security

SecureIt redesigned every lock after watching experienced shooters fail to open tiny-button locks under stress.

Topics include:

Fight-or-flight motor skill loss

Why biometrics fail when hands are wet, dirty, cold, or gloved

Why RFID is actually dangerous

How training reps build the muscle memory needed in real emergencies

Tom shares:

His Bonneville land-speed record project

His rare Elmquist Saber cars

Using SecureIt systems to build custom gun rooms for NFL, NBA, musicians, and celebrities

Why the same military-grade system works for homeowners

Kevin and Craig wrap up the conversation and talk about bringing Tom back soon—there was way more to explore.

Fall Breaks, Fake Stimulus Checks & Football Shocker Week!

This week, the guys are back in the studio after a “camping” trip (well, one of them slept in his truck). They catch up on fall break chaos, celebrate their show’s climb to the top of the charts, and talk about some big updates from their friends at True Texas Solar & Roofing — including new Tesla roof tech and what’s changing in the world of home insurance.

Then it’s on to football madness: Texas pulls off a surprise win, A&M looks strong, and Oklahoma State sets an unforgettable (and bizarre) record. The conversation heats up around coaching changes, rivalry traditions (yes, tortillas get thrown), and even whether Nick Saban could actually head to OSU.

To top it all off, the hosts tackle viral rumors about a new October stimulus check — breaking down what’s real, what’s not, and how to avoid the scams making the rounds online.

It’s a wild mix of home talk, football breakdowns, and headline myth-busting — with plenty of laughs and good conversation along the way.
