No, right, moving along now. I hate bringing this 14 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.959 up because it's just gonna piss me off, and like, like it reminds 15 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.120 me of the movies where they say, oh honey, now your blood pressure, 16 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.480 you know, like you better watch out. Years this happened to come 17 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:29.400 up yesterday and I started reading about it and looking on YouTube and finding these 18 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.480 fake testimonials. And it's the guy that used to be in Denver. I 19 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.799 drove him out of Colorado. I literally drove him out of Colorado with all 20 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.640 my negative, negative stories. By the way, they didn't start out to 21 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.879 be negative. They started out to be stories. They're negative because this Rocky 22 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.239 Mountain Radar as it was called when he was here. I don't know where 23 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:57.159 he moved, but Rocky Mountain Radar he markets now that it's called the Odin 24 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:02.040 od I, and he claims now he used to make his own, but 25 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.640 now he claims the Odin. Maybe he makes that, I don't know. 26 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:15.120 He claims that it has long range detection and scrambling technology. He claims it 27 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:22.680 cannot only detect radar and laser. Both these are right off the website Rockymountain 28 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:30.520 Radar dot com. He claims that it will scramble lasers and it will scramble 29 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:39.000 radar. Now, technology to scramble radar and laser based on the military specs 30 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:46.439 I know and the aviation specs I know, is an astronomically expensive technology and 31 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.800 cannot be contained in that little thing on the dash. We tested this years 32 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:59.000 and years ago and found not only did it did not scramble, it did 33 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.639 nothing. It was like putting a dog turn on your dash. It did 34 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:08.360 nothing. Okay, now this one might detect you know, detectors are not 35 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:15.840 new radar detectors. Blah blah blah. However, it does not scramble it 36 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:22.240 and he claims it scrambles it to an unreadable thing so you can't get a 37 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.759 ticket. And they say they're going to never get a speeding ticket. Anyway, 38 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.479 here's the bottom line. I didn't test this one, but I'm going 39 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.560 to. I'm going to literally get one and test it. But I am 40 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:38.879 almost positive at this point. I swear to God, I am positive it's 41 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.319 BS. And in fact, I'll even put a challenge out to the owner. 42 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.520 I ran him out of town. He knows who I am. He's 43 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.560 on YouTube, the lies that he spreads about Rocky Mountain radar and Odin O 44 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.599 d N. If you guys get a chance, my YouTube morons, my 45 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:02.400 Facebook flunkies, my uh I heart downloaders, my people who just listen live. 46 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.560 I don't know why I'm giving it publicity, because I'll tell you why. 47 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.080 Because there are people buying it. Now, let me tell you why 48 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.079 he found the perfect crime in my opinion, because he's a fraudster, he's 49 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:24.160 a liar, he's a cheater. Do you know why. I talked to 50 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.639 the Attorney General when he was in Colorado. I talked to the district attorneys. 51 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:36.040 I talked to the Federal Trade Commission. Kevin, why do you feel 52 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:41.360 he's getting away with him? Would your what would your guest be, Kevin? 53 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.759 Well, it's kind of hard to prove, isn't it, whether it 54 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.720 scrambles or not. Well, okay, bottom line is I proved to them 55 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:54.000 and they admitted not Rocky Mound radar. But the authorities admitted it did not 56 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.360 work and that he was committing fraud. They admitted that. They said they'd 57 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:03.399 have a case. Why didn't they go out Not sir ah, I'm going 58 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:10.160 to tell you why they didn't go after him because the victims are not sympathetic 59 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:15.120 to them. Because they said, these people are trying to get around the 60 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.240 law anyway, so they did not feel sorry for the victims. They said, 61 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.720 these victims are trying to break the law. They want to speed. 62 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:35.199 So the authorities were not anxious to not anxious to do this to take this 63 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:43.000 guy on because they did not sympathize with the victims. It was almost the 64 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:51.000 attitude it serves them right, It serves them right. So I want to 65 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:57.560 test this again, and I am thinking, I don't know how many he's 66 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.360 selling. I don't know what he's doing, but I'd like to get him 67 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:06.000 off the market because no matter who buys this for three ninety nine, they're 68 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:11.879 throwing money away, and I think is wrong. Now, I can't say 69 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.600 so much for the detection. I don't know how much radar detectors costs. 70 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.120 I mean, that's not a hard thing to do to get a radar detector. 71 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.639 But I want to know what people think about this. Does it bother 72 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.079 you that this guy? I mean, I'm sure there are so many products 73 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:32.120 like this on the market that just don't work. He out and out lies, 74 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:39.720 i mean, lies on YouTube about this product. So I'm going to 75 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.120 order one. I'm going to go out and test it. Then I'm going 76 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.439 to try maybe even though I don't want to spend a lot of money because 77 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.839 there's not a lot of victims. I don't know if I'll get an attorney, 78 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:53.120 but I want to do a class action. What I'd like to do 79 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.720 is sue on behalf of anyone who ever bought one. But I think it'll 80 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.199 just put him out of business. But that'll be good enough. If I 81 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.480 can engineer this. I would like to do this. And I'm telling you 82 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:11.160 straight up front. If I test it and by some miracle he has found 83 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.319 how to take a multimillion dollar technology and put it down into a little box 84 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.399 you can put on your dash, then he should, by the way, 85 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.399 sell it to the military, and he should, you know, and I'll 86 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.399 tell you if it works. But I'm gonna do it. Now. Let 87 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.120 me go to the phones. Randy called toward the end of the show, 88 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:38.040 I believe or on the show yesterday about Aquaspase. Now, Aquaspase is a 89 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:44.439 SPA dealer. I want full disclosure here. I used to endorse Aquaspas. 90 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.800 Geez, maybe thirty years ago, twenty five, maybe twenty, I don't 91 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.279 know. No, it was more than twenty years ago. I believe it 92 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.040 was more than twenty years ago. Aqua Spase. I used to endorse them 93 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:05.439 on the show, Randy, and really yep. Then I stopped because they 94 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.600 were doing some things that I felt was shady. Okay, two things. 95 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:20.360 One was they were offering a one hundred percent rebate one hundred percent on your 96 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:28.560 purchase price. You would buy the tub, you'd get a voucher and in 97 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:35.720 so many years you would redeem that voucher for one hundred percent of the purchase 98 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.480 price. Now, they made it so you had to do it in a 99 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.000 certain timeframe, and you had you know, proof of purchase, this and 100 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:48.679 that, and and it sounded like, well, not eight out of ten 101 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.679 people will never do it, But what about the people that do. They 102 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.039 claim they had a company it was out of England that backed them up and 103 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.600 was doing this all over the world, all over the country on jewelry, 104 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:09.159 on appliances, on hot tubs. And I talked to the guy and he 105 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.639 swore to God, yep, it's going to happen. So Aquaspase signed up 106 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:24.399 for this program, and then I just started doing the math because Aqua Spase 107 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.960 would pay him a portion of every sale, and then he was supposedly going 108 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.279 to put that money away and somehow have money to rebate. It did not 109 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:39.039 work. The company caved. It was a disaster that was Aquaspase. Aquaspase 110 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:46.159 also wanted me to do a commercial about the stock show. They rented a 111 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.519 place, and I think it was up there they were doing. They wanted 112 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.519 me to advertise that they were going to be at a big or no, 113 00:09:52.799 --> 00:10:00.080 that there was going to be a big spa show, okay, with all 114 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.720 these different spas and everything with great prices, come and see spas one stop 115 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:11.200 shopping. Except it was only Aqua spas in the show. There was no 116 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.480 one else. So it was their show, but they made it sound like 117 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.960 it was going to be. It was one of these shows where trade shows, 118 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.200 where a lot of people are gonna be there, You're gonna get variety, 119 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.840 you're gonna see all kinds, and it was just them selling them. 120 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.039 So I thought that was disingenuous. Let's put it this way. I got 121 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.559 a bad taste in my mouth about Aquaspase, but I'll be honest here, 122 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.159 never ever heard a problem about Aquaspase probably twenty years or more. I mean, 123 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.320 in fact, I never heard a complain about Aquaspause. When I was 124 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.440 endorsing them, I decided not to do it anymore based on those factors. 125 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.240 But I actually never got complaints about them. Okay, I'll have to be 126 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.519 totally straight here, never got really complaints about them. And then this complaint 127 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:05.080 came yesterday, and the complaint is you simply bought a hot tub in advance 128 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.039 for a home, and you put a back door in there in case you 129 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:22.279 couldn't finish the home or something, right, Randy, go ahead, yes, 130 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.320 sir, oh yeah. So you know, me and my wife, 131 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.039 we were in the middle of buying a house. We're real close to it. 132 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.639 Wasn't sure if we're going to be approved or not. So I said, 133 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.600 you know, this is fully refundable. He was yeah, yeah. 134 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.159 I said, well, come we put it in there. If I don't 135 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.879 close in my house by such and such an eight. You picked the date. 136 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:41.360 I said, it should be within a couple of weeks, you know, 137 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.919 He said, yeah, sure. We were there November sixth, he 138 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.960 wrote, November. If it doesn't close by November twenty sixth or twenty eighth, 139 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.360 twenty sixthy thing was twenty eighth, November twenty eighth, full refund. 140 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.080 We had not closed on the house until January. I had to I had 141 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.159 to put so you didn't. So how much did you put down on this? 142 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:09.320 Two thousand dollars? And okay, so you put down two grand with 143 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.440 a back door on that and he and it was signed by that guy who 144 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.720 sold it to you. Yeah, And I've talked to him and he said 145 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.200 it's completely out of line that Matt won't give us the money bag. But 146 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.080 he I'm just an employee. Brother. I can't believe it. And did 147 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.080 he? But but here this is really important, not important to you, 148 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.360 but important to Aquaspase. I'm sure did Matt have not? Matt? Who 149 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.480 was the guy you worked with? Aaron? He's the one that put that 150 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.000 on there, not the manager, not the ownership. Right, he was 151 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.240 the manager. He was the only one at the store. Oh oh, 152 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.799 are you sure he was the store manager? He said he was in charge 153 00:12:48.799 --> 00:13:01.840 of charge. Okay, he wrote in a special clause, right, yes, 154 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.720 okay, Thus I think you guys have no I do. I saw 155 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.120 it. But here's the point. I want people listening to know this. 156 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.799 The point is he wrote in a special clause, and it said that if 157 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.559 you didn't build by a certain time or finish, you get your money back. 158 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:22.799 And the bottom line is Aquaspase is not honoring it. I don't see 159 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.440 there's a way you can. Mark must have told you this when you called 160 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.919 Jesiny. Did he suggest you go to small claims court like this? Said? 161 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:37.120 No, we are. We're gonna talk about it, but Katchina got 162 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.919 an interesting reaction when she called over there.

Hi Tom Martino, you're troubleshooter three oh three seven one three 177 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.759 talk seven one three two five five. So this guy goes to Aquasphaspus two 178 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:05.279 th thousand dollars down. Aquaspa's manager, Aaron rights in there. He can 179 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.840 get his money back if his house isn't done by a certain time, because 180 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.440 he didn't want to wait. You know, Uncle Kevin over here had a 181 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:15.200 good well, Randy, why did you even do that like that? Why 182 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.120 didn't you just wait till your house was done? We're curious. We're just 183 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.840 you know, walking walking to the mall and seen it. We had one 184 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:30.679 of our house that we were selling and just impulse. Kay and Kelly, 185 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.360 you called out there? Did you talk to Aaron? Who'd you talk to? 186 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.399 So I left a message for Aaron. I talked to a gentleman who 187 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.159 would not identify himself. He did not give me his name or anything like 188 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.159 that. But basically, did he called back or did you talk to him 189 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.120 when you called? I talked to him when he called or when I called, 190 00:15:48.840 --> 00:16:00.000 And he was from the get go very irate and wasn't the most forthcoming 191 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.879 with information, but he did indicate that this had already been settled quote unquote, 192 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.879 and I use how did he say it was settled? He said that 193 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.639 Randy has already been in touch with our attorney. And so then I asked, 194 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.600 who is your attorney? And he why would they have to go to 195 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.240 court over this if he wrote in there, I'll give you a refund. 196 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:26.080 Well, because I guess the owner did not give Randy the money back. 197 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.720 They did not honor the contract. And so the gentleman I chat to said 198 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:37.879 that they always honor their contracts. And you don't know what you're talking about, 199 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.039 girl. That was one of the things that were that way. I 200 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.639 mean, we'd be happy to hear what they mean by that. Maybe maybe 201 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.960 they'll claim that Randy wrote it in himself, or maybe he'll well. The 202 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.559 funny part is that he hung up on me. So I called him back 203 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:59.120 and on the second time, because at the end of the conversation he said, 204 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.360 never call this number. Of the first conversation, he said, never 205 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.759 call this number again. So I called him back and I recommend I also 206 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.720 recommend that no one ever calls that number, and no one uses these people 207 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:12.480 if they're going to be this way, right, okay, right, And 208 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:21.599 then it got a little bit more contentious in that he said I didn't know 209 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:29.160 what I was talking about. He told me to stfu if that is any 210 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:34.559 indication he didn't spell it out. And uh so I was a little taken 211 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:38.839 aback by that. What a professional manner this guy day. And so then 212 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.599 he dropped the bomb that he sued you. Oh really, yes, sued 213 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:45.480 me? Yes? Well, first of all, let me just say this. 214 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:51.079 Let me just say this. I don't recall ever being sued by anybody 215 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.200 up at Aquaspas or did he mean he personally sued me? I believe he 216 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.839 mentioned the company sued you. Well, that's not right because we just parted 217 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.160 company. But uh here's here's what I do want to say, had they 218 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.880 sued me. Now, I'm telling you, I'm seventy, I kind of 219 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.759 remember a lot, but I don't ever recall. No, I'm just going 220 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.880 to say I wasn't sued by them, because here's but here's what I do 221 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.440 want to say. If they did sue me, they lost because I've never 222 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.119 lost a case, right, So right, Well, okay, so that 223 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.880 means I beat them. What he is saying is I beat them in a 224 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.559 lawsuit, is what he's saying. Well, but I don't remember beating them 225 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.440 in a lawsuit. Well, the second phone call. The second phone call 226 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.440 ended with him saying, if you do not stop calling this number, I'm 227 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:45.839 going to get the sharemer sheriff from Larimer County on to literally come and you 228 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.720 know, serve you for harassment. And by the way, I don't mind 229 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:55.319 not calling them. In fact, I think consumers should never call them. 230 00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:00.079 And it's okay. What he is saying is he does not want to honor 231 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.440 the contract, nor does he want to talk on the air about anything. 232 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.640 Bottom line, that's what you said. Yes, and he told me that 233 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:15.279 I didn't know anything about it and that I should stop calling him immediately or 234 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.599 he was going to bring harassment claim. Now, I don't see any recent 235 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:23.079 documents filed. Well, let's see, okay, I do see this Articles 236 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:29.119 of Organization back that was in twenty twenty three. Was the the latest document 237 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.279 I see here on the Secretary of State. I just want to see who 238 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:38.039 the registered agent is. I see Vint Davis. Well, I see a 239 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:45.640 Kevin Quintero Aqua Space. Oh no, I'm sorry, that's Aqua Spa CE 240 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:51.000 pools. I don't know if that's them. Honest to god, I can't 241 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:59.279 tell what I'm looking at here Aqua Spase. Is it Aqua Spa aqua pools 242 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.880 and spas? Or or is it Aquaspas inc? Is it? I think 243 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.279 it's Aquaspase Incs. But I'm not sure actually, to be honest with you, 244 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.279 here, yeah, there's a Matthew Davis. This is in Fort Collins. 245 00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:12.440 Is that who it is? You think? I think yes, yes, 246 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:18.000 yes, is Matthew the one that said he sued me to think. 247 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:19.680 Is that who you talk to? Or? You know? He would not 248 00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:23.799 indicate what his name was. He would not tell me what his name was. 249 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.640 He would not tell me who is What number did you call? I 250 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.279 want to make sure that I got the right one here? What number did 251 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.440 you call? I called the Fort Collins number, which is nine seven zero 252 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.640 two two six three three five three. Okay, I don't think anyone should 253 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:44.079 call that number Aquaspase basically sucks. They're going on the Sleeves Brigade because we 254 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:48.200 have a breach of contract, just blatant and okay, let me just mark 255 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.160 this for Sleaves Brigade people. You know what, we have plenty of good 256 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.279 SPA companies around. In fact, I don't know why he just wouldn't go 257 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.279 to Costco and get one. Nay, Randy, I don't understand you know 258 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:04.160 spas or not magic. No. And just so you know what he called 259 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:10.000 me yesterday after the show. Oh what did he say? Well? I 260 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.960 think he called me like four times and I finally called back and said, 261 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.960 Hey, who is this? She said, I'm just my lawyer. Just 262 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:21.480 wanted me to know. Let you know that we're following bringing paperwork up against 263 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.640 you and gonna for what for? What? I mean, if you're lying. 264 00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.000 Listen, if you're lying, you should be sued. But you showed 265 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.960 us a document signed, You showed us that you put money down. I 266 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.319 mean, what part of this is not true? And then my opinion is 267 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.200 they suck? Well, okay, let me just address it their attorney. 268 00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.920 Mister attorney. Now listen. I'm sure you're proud that you're an attorney. 269 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.200 You went to school and all that, and you want to show you got 270 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.240 balls and you want to or whatever you got nerve. If you're a female 271 00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.599 attorney, you want to show that you can do something for your client. 272 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.599 But I also think you're going to tell your clients some realistic crap here, 273 00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.759 First and foremost, what is he going to sue for an opinion that Tom 274 00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:07.799 Martino has that this sucks? Or what about this a customer who's telling the 275 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:11.680 truth about the transaction? Or what about this the fact that we called your 276 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.960 client and begged them to give their side of the story, even off the 277 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.160 air. They can do it. So which part of this do you feel 278 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.799 as actionable, mister attorney. I don't think you do. And I think 279 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:29.079 that you have, of course a responsibility to tell your client that. And 280 00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:33.440 mister whoever you are at spabrokers who think you sued me, But I don't 281 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.079 recall beating you. And of course I beat everyone, never lost look me 282 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.160 up on Lexus and Nexus or anywhere else, never lost a lawsuit. So, 283 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:45.400 in fact, got attorneys fees a good part of the time for what 284 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:52.400 we call anti slap laws. Anti slap means when you go after someone for 285 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.640 their opinion or for expressing something, and all of that, then there are 286 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.960 attorneys fees usually granted. So I don't want to get into all this. 287 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:04.319 Your attorney can explain that to you when you calm down. But if you 288 00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:08.240 look at this for what It is pure and simple. It's a contract. 289 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.359 The guy paid money with a written clause that he can get it back. 290 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.200 Now, maybe you want to tell me this guy Aaron who did that was 291 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:26.279 fired and wasn't wasn't I authorized to do it? And if you do tell 292 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.319 me that, then you'd have to have a problem when he sues you in 293 00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:34.400 small claim court to show why you have negligently, negligently and trusted that manager 294 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:42.599 with certain authority or at least you know, an impression of authority for customers. 295 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:47.759 I don't know any of this because I'm not going to have to fight 296 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.119 this. I'll just give it to my attorney. But here's what I'd like 297 00:23:52.160 --> 00:24:03.039 to tell you, mister spabrokers and mister attorney or missus attorney, bring it 298 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.599 pre oh three seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five people. 299 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.160 Randy, you got to start this small claim. I don't see how 300 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:15.960 you lose, do you. I don't see how you lose unless you're lying, 301 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.480 And if you're lying, I'll help them sue you. But I don't 302 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.680 think you're lying. Yeah, I should lose, Randy. I don't know 303 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.480 many why this is happening, but one thing for sure, you shouldn't have 304 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:32.079 done the deal at all. I mean you should have just waited for goodness. 305 00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:36.079 Sure is a good lesson learned, that's for sure. Okay, So 306 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:41.000 Spas and I want to tell people spob I would not use Aqua Spas at 307 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:47.359 all. I would not use them, but not a good deal. That's 308 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:52.440 my opinion. That's my opinion. So Aquaspas and and we called nine seven 309 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.319 zero two two six thirty three fifty three. And I don't want anyone calling 310 00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:57.759 there because the guy doesn't want phone calls. And besides, I wouldn't call 311 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:02.039 there anyway, because you don't want that company. If you're looking for a 312 00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:03.319 hot tub, you at Costco. Hey, you know, we have a 313 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.799 local company here. I think they're still around. Spa Brokers, good company. 314 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.839 They've been around for years in Denver, for years. In fact, 315 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.039 I used to endorse them too, years and years and years and years and 316 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:21.319 years. Uh, Spa Brokers, that's probably where I would go. Three 317 00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:25.480 oh three seven to one three talk seven one three eight two five five. 318 00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.759 Okay, So you hurt my opinion. And of course that is my opinion, 319 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:33.319 which of course is free to express in this country. Because you know, 320 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:44.559 they haven't completely shut us down. More coming up.

They will not honor all contracts apparently, and that's Aquaspas 331 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.519 up north there. I don't know if they have any in the Denver Metrrie, 332 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:53.079 but I recommend SPA brokers. I recommend Costco for goodness sakes, or 333 00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.559 just about anywhere. I'd rather just go to a place that I know the 334 00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:04.640 contract actually be honored. That's my opinion. Com what's going on? Man? 335 00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:11.640 You got a twenty eighteen Ford and is it a Ford Escort sport? 336 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.599 That's correct? Yes, so huh okay, we got Uncle Kevin with us 337 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.880 to listen to you. So what's going on? Yes, this only happens 338 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:23.519 when I gas up and try to start the car and ind case, the 339 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:29.160 battery light like a dead battery. And only when you start up in the 340 00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:32.519 like the first start of the day. No, no, only from the 341 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:37.839 gas station, sitting at the gas pumps. It's really weird and I can 342 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.240 barely get it started. Only wait, this is after you fill up. 343 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:47.200 Yeah. Yeah, and once once I get I can barely get a crank, 344 00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.119 you know. And then then after that it's okay. I can turn 345 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:52.880 it on and off everywhere. Wait a minute, what is it about pumping 346 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:57.359 gas that would cause that to happen? Kevin? That just doesn't even now 347 00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.559 when you say you okay, you turn it off, you pump the gas. 348 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.319 As soon as your gas is pumped, you go to start it, 349 00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.599 and it doesn't crank, or it cranks but won't start. It has a 350 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.480 show the red light or dead battery comes on, and I could just turn 351 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.880 it over enough to get going, you know, and then after that, 352 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:19.400 and it never happens anywhere else. That's correct. If you went to the 353 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:25.759 gas station and turned it off and pretended to pump gas, not just no, 354 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:29.799 I would be so curious as to why the hell and does it happen 355 00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:34.200 at every gas station? I always go to Costco the same exact place, 356 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:40.079 Yeah, over on Westminster here, and I just can't kid to me, 357 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.599 that is like a there's no rhyme or reason for that one. I mean, 358 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.440 I'd like someone listening to tell me why the hell that's it. It's 359 00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.640 got to be some sort of a vapor, some sort of a mission. 360 00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.799 Yeah, but okay, can you do us a favor? I mean, 361 00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:59.960 ron it never you never get that red light, and it never happens except 362 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.680 at that Costco. Yeah. Now the red battery light comes on, you 363 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.400 know, well, what do you mean it comes on every time you started? 364 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.319 No, the warning light for the dead battery. It shows the red 365 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.240 battery light only when you're at that Costco. That's correct. Does it run 366 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.880 rough once you get it started or does it run normal? It runs normal, 367 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:23.839 celerates good. And when you go to start, I'm going to ask 368 00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:26.880 this again, and you're at the Costco. You just pumped gas and you 369 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.920 go to start it and that red light's on. Does it crank reluctantly? 370 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:38.519 Light or does it crank but not start just like you said reluctantly? Okay, 371 00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:42.400 okay, Kevin, that mate? I mean, what would zapp is 372 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:48.799 power only at that Costco? I got nothing. I'm totally stunning. Okay, 373 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.200 hold on a second. What about this if you went to that Costco 374 00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.720 and turned it off but not pumped gas and then tried to start it. 375 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.480 I really mean that. I like to know. Or if you go to 376 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.480 another gas station, are you you got it? You gotta call us back? 377 00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:08.319 Do you need gas today? No? I got a full tank yesterday, 378 00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:14.920 damn it. And it happened yesterday. That's correct. Yeah? How 379 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.920 far from that Costco? Oh? I'm real close? Like Ken blocks five? 380 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.160 Or could you, honest to god, could you go there, pull 381 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:30.200 up to turn it off, do everything you would except don't buy gas? 382 00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:37.000 I just is it because buying that gas can't possibly be the factor. There's 383 00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:41.599 something there interfering. Could there be an EMF? I don't know? I 384 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.000 mean, am I sounding stupid? I mean? Is there an EMF? 385 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.079 Signal there interfering with his truck or his computer? Could it be I don't 386 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.799 know, you know, that's the thought. I should go to a different 387 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:56.920 gays. I gotta take it. Listen, whatever you do, please let 388 00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:59.839 us know. Please, because we have nothing, and I'm going to ask 389 00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:03.039 my listeners to chime in.

Hi Tom Martino here with Uncle Kevin from Sheridan 397 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.839 Autotech dot com. By the way, I want to go right to UH. 398 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.960 I want to start with UH, Katie with this overheating on a two 399 00:31:53.000 --> 00:32:00.839 thousand and five Dodge Magnum Katie, how many miles on that it has over 400 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:08.000 one hundred and twenty thousand miles. How long have you owned it? Well, 401 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:13.400 I owned it for over ten years. Okay, did it suddenly start 402 00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.119 tell your story? What's going on with it? Well, okay, this 403 00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:20.720 is just a spare car that I use and I'm not driving my kids around, 404 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.880 and I've had an overheating issue for quite some time, and I just 405 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:31.240 got a new radiator for it, and so everything works fine, except that 406 00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:37.000 it seems like every time that I use the air conditioner, the hose pops 407 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:43.240 off and then my car overheats. So I just wanted to see ask you 408 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.240 and uncle Kevin before my husband starts tearing the car apart, if you have 409 00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:53.960 any suggestions on what what where? The pressure issue is that the hose, 410 00:32:54.240 --> 00:33:01.240 the hose is popping off the radiator or popping off the engine the upper radiator 411 00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:05.039 hole, right, Why is that? Ken? Well, I mean it 412 00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.039 should have a little coupler so that it can hold the clamp, but the 413 00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:13.160 radiator may have not. Maybe it does, and it's tight. It's tight, 414 00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:17.319 but I'm saying, is is it popping off on the radiator side or 415 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:30.240 the engine side? It's popping off from the like, not the engine side 416 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.799 the radiator side. So where it's connected to the radiator, even though there's 417 00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:38.559 a clamp on there, it pops off. There should be a little collar 418 00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.880 around that so when you put the hose on, the clamp has something to 419 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:49.039 grab. It's a little bit larger on the outside, like a lip yep, 420 00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.160 like a belt, But yeah it is, and it's on there. 421 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.759 Hold on, just hold on and we'll come right back.

This is very 439 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.159 important. The other day I had on Retirement Planning Center of the Rockies. 440 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:37.119 We were talking about changes in the state law. This brook from a Red 441 00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:42.079 Rocks RS that I heard I had to provide four one k's for my people 442 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.280 and he said he didn't hear, but he said he didn't think. So 443 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.159 it does turn out that Colorado does have a special provision where you have to 444 00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.119 provide a four oh one k to your people if you have more than Kevin. 445 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.320 Do you know about it because you're you're an employer. Yeah, but 446 00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:58.280 it's not a four one K. But it's some sort of have you have 447 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.960 to do it retirement. You don't have to contribute to it, though, 448 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.119 no, you could, but you have to provide it for them to contribute, 449 00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.800 or you have to opt into this new state program that they're putting together 450 00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.960 where they're gonna Okay, what is the number of employees that are five or 451 00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.599 more five or more six or something? Okay? So yes, so we 452 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:20.599 aired in that you must have a retirement plan if you have more than five 453 00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:22.320 employees. You don't have to contribute to it, but you must have it 454 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:27.559 set up. Okay. On that one And on the other one, I 455 00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:30.639 talked about aquaspase, you know, and threatening or they said they sued me, 456 00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:32.400 and they never sued me, by the way, and if they did, 457 00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:37.320 they lost. I've never lost a lawsuit ever. Just I'm proud of 458 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:42.119 that because people usually sue out of anger, not out of intelligence. In 459 00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:46.079 any case, I said that I've won many times on what's called anti slap 460 00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:50.519 legislation. And by the way, give credit where credits due. It came 461 00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:57.679 from Democrats. Anti slap legislation years ago. States adopted Many states adopted this 462 00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:02.159 legislation, and even in the States that haven't adopted it. People have used 463 00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:08.199 the court precedence to say you can't just sue someone because you're angry, and 464 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:15.079 that's really here's what it says, strategic lawsuits against public participation. That's what 465 00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:20.960 slap stands for. What it means is this, you can't use lawsuits as 466 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:23.760 an intimidation like that guy called that guy and said, I'm gonna sue the 467 00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:28.679 pants off of you, blah blah blah. You can't do that because that's 468 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.000 well, you can do it, but you're going to be slapped for it. 469 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:38.960 It's it's a it's an intimidation lawsuit. It's strategic litigation designed to censor, 470 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:46.000 intimidate, or silence critics by the by burdening them with the cost of 471 00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:52.719 legal defense until they abandon their cause. Now, that truly is what's called 472 00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:59.679 a slap lawsuit. And then there are anti slap measures that allow people to 473 00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:04.880 defy themselves and get money back for it from the offending party. So I 474 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.400 just want you to know that, and perhaps Aquaspas should run that by their 475 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:14.119 attorney as well. Aquaspas we were talking about, because they wouldn't honor a 476 00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:16.639 contract for a consumer and they won't come on, they won't talk about it. 477 00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:22.920 Basically, they suck. Let's talk now about Katie and the overheating issue. 478 00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:28.400 Katie, you say your two thousand and five Dodge Magnum over one hundred 479 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:34.079 thousand miles, you overheat, and when you overheat, you don't overheat necessarily. 480 00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.239 When it warms up, it pops the radiator host pops off. Now, 481 00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:43.320 Kevin mentioned a few things. Let me go ahead. No, go 482 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.960 ahead, Katie, I'm sure I was just gonna say that when I got 483 00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:50.960 to I take good care of this car. I know it's old, but 484 00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:57.159 when I did get the radiator replaced, I also got a new fan and 485 00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:04.760 a new thermostat, and the car runs great except when the homes doesn't pop 486 00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:08.840 off all the time. It only actually pops off when I'm using the air 487 00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:15.400 conditioner. And it's double clamped too, so it's not like the issue that 488 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:17.800 it's popping off all the time. No, what he said is, especially 489 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:22.719 when you said you replace the radiator. He said, sometimes radiators come for 490 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:28.880 some reason with that hose receiver where you put the hose over it. That 491 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:32.559 receiver doesn't have the berbal on the end of it to grab that clamp he 492 00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.760 said, sometimes they just don't have it on there and they slip and slide 493 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:42.159 off. That's one thing. He also said, if you have a head 494 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.320 gasket problem, go ahead, wet. It could materialize as you put it 495 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:49.760 under strain and heat. So in other words, when the head gasket separates 496 00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:53.280 the cooling from the oil system and the compression I mean, and Kevin explained 497 00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:59.119 that the compression pressure will leak into the cooling, leak into the cooling system 498 00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.360 and that could be over p shuring your system. So you need to get 499 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:06.760 what they call a block test to make sure you don't have any there's there's 500 00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:08.840 what they call a block test. It's a very simple test the shop can 501 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:14.280 perform to see if there's any hydrocarbons in your coolant. Those would be coming 502 00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:23.320 from the head gasket. Okay, okay, well I will I will tell 503 00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:28.480 Teck the radiator first. If that if that lip is on there, then 504 00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:30.039 you're fine. And the next one you have to do it. It's simple 505 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.519 test, like I said, a block test. Okay, Well, one 506 00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:40.599 is that the first problem when it happened all the time, if it was 507 00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:45.280 not necessarily no, no, because a lot of times you have a small 508 00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:49.639 leak will exacerbate with heat and then the pressure and the extra load from the 509 00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:55.760 air conditioning could be pushing it over. Try that, see test and you 510 00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.840 can always drop by shirt and allixa on Colfax west of wads Worth, Katie 511 00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:07.519 three three four two is his number. Let's uh, let's continue now. 512 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:16.159 Kenny has a comment on the Ford thing. Which one was was that the 513 00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:21.639 one where oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Now on one person on 514 00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:25.159 YouTube said one of my YouTube morons said, maybe he leaves the door open 515 00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:30.440 when he's pumping gas, and that would I don't know anyway, what's your 516 00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:32.960 comment, Kenny? He says, when he pumps gas and he only goes 517 00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.960 to this one place, but whenever, whenever he pumps gas, his battery 518 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:40.880 light comes on. When he gets back in the cab, he can't start 519 00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:45.480 it or excuse me, it's difficult starting. Then everything's normal until he goes 520 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:50.360 back to get gased. Kenny, Yeah, I got you. It's the 521 00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:55.239 fuelly vapp valve on those they get stuck open, so when you feel it 522 00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:00.119 it hard starts. It just cranks over and over and Thei'll finally go know 523 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:02.320 but he said it what okay? Yeah, he's saying it's a slow crank 524 00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:07.960 and his battery light comes up. It's like his battery is dying. I 525 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:12.559 didn't know if that's exactly what he meant, because he's like, the battery 526 00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:16.039 light will come on when you crank your motor. Sure, oh okay, 527 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:21.159 maybe maybe you're right. So but tell me about that evapp thing. What 528 00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.440 happens? Okay, So it gets it gets stuck open, and whenever you 529 00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:29.400 fuel your vehicle, paper gets into the motor and then it doesn't want to 530 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:34.119 start, and it happens every time you fuel. It was like a flooding 531 00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.679 started. Yeah, it's almost like a flooding. Cool. I got you, 532 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:39.960 bro, I got you. That makes sense. Thank you, Kenny, 533 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:45.119 appreciate it. Okay, Kenny, I would give you a piece of 534 00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:47.519 pizza if you were here. Okay, now let's go to Ron's. Got 535 00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:54.000 a question on tax refunds from the state. Go ahead, rond Tom I 536 00:42:54.199 --> 00:43:01.559 fouled taxes and I believe that there was a segment on the news the other 537 00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:05.519 day saying that there's a lot of checks misplaced, and I was wondering, 538 00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.559 is there a number to call to a department of revenue? Is this the 539 00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:16.119 state or the federal the state. Okay, did you get your federal check? 540 00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:23.360 Yeah? I did get the federal check. When did you file your 541 00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:30.639 taxes? Ron, it's gonna be the beginning of February. Oh that's way 542 00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:37.760 too soon. That bro that I wouldn't start worrying about it now. Oh 543 00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.400 though. The only reason I was inquiring because I seen on Fox thirty one 544 00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:44.880 and they were saying that people hadn't received their checks and they had been misplaced. 545 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.719 And I've been trying to call Department of Revenue, but there's no number 546 00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:53.239 that connects you to anyone. No, you know what, I have not 547 00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:57.000 heard What do you mean by displace? I have not heard about that. 548 00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.760 Yeah, it was on a couple of days ago with Box thirty one. 549 00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:07.360 It was a segment on the news. Okay, I'm gonna look that up, 550 00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:12.800 but I've not heard about that. Did they say that happened at the 551 00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:17.639 state level? Yes, the state level. Yeah, you should just the 552 00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:22.960 ft and I don't know why you messed with a check. Yeah, they 553 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:28.519 would and accept the wired. They've they've been converting your direct deposit to paper 554 00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:32.159 check for some reason, and they say that on their boys. Well, 555 00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:36.119 what do they say to do when you saw that story, what did they 556 00:44:36.159 --> 00:44:40.440 say to do? Well, the reporters said that they're gonna that they have 557 00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:45.920 an investigation going on, but there was no remedy for the taxpayers to do 558 00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:50.559 because there's no way to connect with the Department of Revenues. Did you go 559 00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.639 on to the state. Did you go on to the website and hit the 560 00:44:54.000 --> 00:45:00.239 click the where's my refund? Yes? I did? And what did you 561 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:07.239 find? Uh? It shows that they sent it out. They showed they 562 00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:12.440 sent my checkout on the eleventh of April. Oh okay, well, if 563 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.880 that's what they show, you should have gotten so wait, it actually said 564 00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:22.360 that they sent it out. Yes, because it shows this little crack. 565 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:27.960 Okay, I'm reading here. I'm reading here not from Fox but somewhere else. 566 00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:34.719 Fifty six thousand checks went to wrong addresses. Wow, how the hell 567 00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:40.599 did that happen? Now they have a special number to call if you think 568 00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:46.159 that this might have included your check because you did not get it.

Now here's the thing. Now, I think 595 00:47:57.039 --> 00:48:00.760 we took Jay right on that Ford issue. Was that that we took and 596 00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:02.760 he had a comment on that yet? Okay, So now let me move 597 00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:09.639 on here and oh Heather, Heather's turn. Okay, Heather, is this 598 00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:15.280 the no? This is that was Kim yesterday with Perfect Teeth. This is 599 00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:21.039 a new one, Heather. What's going on with you? Right? So 600 00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:24.840 I went to the cup last year nice and again. I want to tell 601 00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:30.880 people, just just to be clear, they're independent dentists that sign onto this 602 00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:36.199 marketing program. So it's it is okay. I just want to make that 603 00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:39.519 clear. Like Perfect Teeth, it's not a dentist. Perfect Teeth is a 604 00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:44.719 marketing tool. Go ahead. So you went to a Perfect Teeth dentist, 605 00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:51.840 Yes, and I needed a root now, And I also I was considering 606 00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:55.440 getting an implant instead of the roots now, and I was booked for after 607 00:48:55.679 --> 00:49:01.159 the dentists got back from vacation and being time, I went ahead and I 608 00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:07.119 gave them a sixteen hundred dollars deposit. Now, and what were you going 609 00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:08.920 to have done for the sick? Did you decide if it's going to be 610 00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:15.360 either or so it was. I had not fully decided, but I was 611 00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:20.400 told that whatever insurance didn't cover, or if I didn't use it, then 612 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.599 it would be refundable. Well, of course it would be if you don't 613 00:49:22.639 --> 00:49:27.679 have anything done. I mean, I mean, obviously you have to pay 614 00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:30.840 for the exam and everything. But but you were going to either get either 615 00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:37.760 get an implant or a root canal. Yes. And so in the meantime 616 00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:40.079 the dentist was gone for a month, my tooth was hurting, and I 617 00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:44.880 went to Comfort Dental and got it squared away. So I went, well, 618 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:47.360 okay, so you went not with Perfect Teeth, but you went to 619 00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:52.079 Comfort, which is another by the way marketing things. So what happened then 620 00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:58.639 well, Comfort Dental got it taken care of, just because the dentists at 621 00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:02.039 Perfect Teeth wouldn't have been that for another month. So I got it all 622 00:50:02.039 --> 00:50:07.760 handled and then I went back to Perfect Teak. Was this an emergency when 623 00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:15.880 you went to Comfort? It was? Okay, it was, And so 624 00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:19.880 I went ahead and got it all squared away, and I went back to 625 00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:22.639 Perfectly. Why didn't you go to the other guy and maybe get a referral 626 00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.639 or something? Were they open or not? Or were they closed for a 627 00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:30.440 month or what they were closed? The dentis was gone for a month, 628 00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:43.159 okay, the py Pavilion, smokeyal locations okay? Yes. So then so 629 00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:45.000 I went back to Perfect Teeth and I said, hey, I got this 630 00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:49.480 squared away. Can I please got my money back? And I was told 631 00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:52.880 yes, but it would be up to a month because I had to go 632 00:50:53.039 --> 00:51:00.519 through several different departments, And so I waited a month and then I back 633 00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:06.320 and I told them that I never received a check. My address on file 634 00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:08.400 is the address that I live at, and nothing's right. So you know, 635 00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:13.559 the bottom line is you never got the sixteen hundred back. Yes, 636 00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:16.320 And I was told three different times that the check was how long ago? 637 00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:22.960 Was this a year? He waited? Oh God, why did you wait 638 00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:28.079 so long? Because every single time they say so, they have told me 639 00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:31.760 Okay, yeah, I know, but still I'm hoping. I'm hoping you 640 00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:37.400 didn't go past the statut of limitations. I don't think you did. To 641 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:40.679 file a lawsuit, you can go to small claims court. You'd get a 642 00:51:40.760 --> 00:51:45.840 judgment in no time. I'd love to call them here. Here's the problem 643 00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:49.360 when we call them, Okay, when it comes to medical and dental, 644 00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:52.079 they're going to want to hip a form signed, which I don't care. 645 00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.519 We can do that with you. But truly, you would have quicker results 646 00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.800 literally filing a small claim suit against that entists. There's no way they should 647 00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:07.079 keep a deposit for nothing. They did nothing. Well, so the problem 648 00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:13.639 is is that somewhere Brighton dent All bought out for pies and you're done. 649 00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:17.920 You're done. It's over. It's done. It's over that they don't exist 650 00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:24.719 anymore. Okay, I swear to God. This is so. If people 651 00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:31.000 listening, please please please please please don't wait. Call me. Do not 652 00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:37.079 wait with a problem. Now this dentist. When you say they were bought 653 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:43.480 out, is the dentist still there, I believe, so I'm not positive 654 00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:46.840 because I haven't been back in. But did this dentist work there or did 655 00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:53.039 he own the place? I'm not sure? Did you? I would put 656 00:52:53.079 --> 00:53:00.199 in a matter complaint to the dental board and you'll get immediate results. The 657 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:01.599 words right out of my mouth. That was my second thing. I was 658 00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:06.800 going to recommend. Thank you talk about that. Where does she go? 659 00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:13.159 Well, just go to uh Dora DRA which is the vision of regulatory agencies. 660 00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:16.639 They'll get the number for five excuse me?

Now I'm not sure what the what the galleys are going 684 00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:21.480 to be there, so anyway, but just at least do that, because 685 00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:25.320 I think small claims court you're going to have a problem with Now, is 686 00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:30.880 Jay new because I thought we took him? Is he knew? He says, 687 00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:36.320 you never went to him. I'm sorry, j I'm sorry, I 688 00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:38.800 misunderstood. I thought we had gone. You have a comment also on that 689 00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:45.920 forward that goes to Costco, fills up with gas and cannot start his car. 690 00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:51.960 Afterwards, the battery light comes on and he says, it's slow cranks. 691 00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:55.400 What do you think it is? Going back to the first part, 692 00:55:55.440 --> 00:56:00.280 toscar has nothing to do with it. So wait, so did you okay? 693 00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:02.039 Go ahead? Go ahead? I'm sorry, go ahead. So when 694 00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:05.559 he gets gas, it wouldn't matter where he can get it any place. 695 00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:10.480 The other color was correct. The evaporative valve is open. When the gas 696 00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:15.119 tank kills up with gas. Because that valve's open, it fills the entirre 697 00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:21.400 intake manifold completely with gas, fumes and gas floods it. He goes to 698 00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:24.920 crank it, his weak battery is having trouble doing that, staring the flood, 699 00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:28.719 and he's going to need a battery pretty soon, and he needs to 700 00:56:28.719 --> 00:56:31.440 need that top. So what you're saying is it's a coincident. I mean, 701 00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:36.360 not a coincidence, but there's two things happening. There's two things happening. 702 00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:40.559 Yeah, that's prettyful. That is what's happening. Well, thank you, 703 00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:44.639 Jay. I love Jay's confidence when he calls. This is not the 704 00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:47.199 first time he called. He says, oh, that's it. So, 705 00:56:47.599 --> 00:56:52.159 but that's possible. Isn't it that he has a weak battery to begin with? 706 00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:54.840 But the reason he doesn't notice the weak battery in the is because it 707 00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:59.639 doesn't flood yep, it doesn't take that extra crank. I hope he's listening 708 00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:02.000 because all of this is pretty cool. John, what's going on with your 709 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:07.079 Subaru cross track?

The subrew's about going anywhere, 744 00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.760 And I just thought maybe you could clarify for me. Yeah, the 745 00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:47.920 head gaskets did have a problem in the mid two thousands, but they've pretty 746 00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:52.800 well worked that through. They just had compatibility issues with the gasket in that 747 00:59:52.880 --> 00:59:54.719 motor. But yeah, all in all, it's pretty solid. They've got 748 00:59:54.719 --> 01:00:00.719 the transmission issues, So there is no special problem with Subaru in the newer 749 01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:04.559 ones and the older engines, say, you know two thousand and two thousand 750 01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:07.559 and eight something in there, they they had issues with.

Now I want to 800 01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:59.239 talk about taxes Brian as a question. Go ahead, Brian, what's going 801 01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:02.039 on with you? Yeah? How are you? Tom? Good?

I want to give him more time if he can hold on for 804 01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:12.440 a second. Brian, what's going on with taxes? What's your question? 805 01:05:13.360 --> 01:05:15.559 So I listened to your last caller about the checks that are getting mailed to 806 01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:19.920 the wrong addresses, about fifty six thousand of them. Yeah, right, 807 01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:25.719 So I went and checked on mine, and mine was mailed on March twenty 808 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:31.800 eighth. So I checked my actual return paperwork. And what happened is I 809 01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:36.320 believe that my W twos have their correct mailing address, but the actual State 810 01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:43.639 Income Test refund form has my old treet address, which was never my mailing 811 01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:46.360 address. So what are you doing about it? I don't know. I 812 01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:49.360 tried to call that number that you gave him. But they're too busy, 813 01:05:49.800 --> 01:05:53.920 I said, you know, too many callers. We can't take a call 814 01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:58.840 right now. So I thought I would just ask you, maybe what else 815 01:05:58.880 --> 01:06:04.320 I could try to do. Well, supposedly, supposedly the state is trying 816 01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:10.519 to work on it. I want to ask you something. Do you have 817 01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:17.519 did access to the old address? I do? Correct? Yeah, Well 818 01:06:17.960 --> 01:06:21.360 did you check with anyone there? No, I haven't. I just did 819 01:06:21.400 --> 01:06:26.199 that today. So yeah, why don't you check? I mean, who 820 01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:30.360 lives there at the old address? Well it was an apartment Oh damn it. 821 01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:34.920 Yeah, well my sister actually owns the building. But who would have 822 01:06:34.920 --> 01:06:41.920 gotten the mail? Well? My million. I've never had a maillion address 823 01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:45.440 there, so somehow between me and H and R Block, we've got the 824 01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:47.599 number or the addresses mixed up. I guess. Well that's what I mean. 825 01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:51.079 So where was it sent? Do you have access to where it was 826 01:06:51.119 --> 01:06:56.280 sent? Yeah? I do. But there's no mailbox there. There never 827 01:06:56.480 --> 01:07:00.159 was. Oh what would what? I wonder? What would happen then if 828 01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:03.599 that was put down? There's no mailbox at all. But there's an actual 829 01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:10.239 location right, correct? And it's an apartment house, yes it is, 830 01:07:10.599 --> 01:07:15.079 But they so what happens to the other people that get mailed there. I'm 831 01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:16.880 sure they have feel boxes. I mean, that's what that's what I have. 832 01:07:17.079 --> 01:07:20.360 Okay, Okay, I see what you're saying. You got man, 833 01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:26.119 Gosh, what I would do is keep You just got to keep trying that 834 01:07:26.239 --> 01:07:30.239 number. I just looked that up and they said that right now they're inundated, 835 01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:32.559 but you got to keep trying to the good news is this. They 836 01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:36.079 say that if you have money coming, you're going to get the money. 837 01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:41.880 It's not going to be withheld, and you're not going to lose it, 838 01:07:41.920 --> 01:07:45.760 which is good news. Now, Oliver, Well, I'm sorry what Well? 839 01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:48.280 Well, I was wondering because I think last year I never got that 840 01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:53.679 table either, so I'm wondering if it's still sitting there too. You never 841 01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:58.360 got it last year, No, so I'm sure it probably went to that 842 01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:00.760 same address. Man. You did you correct? Lead listen, did you 843 01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:06.280 correct your address? No? I didn't cast it. So today, Well, 844 01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:10.480 okay, go correct it.

If it was cash, you're in 847 01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:20.600 a world of hurt because if somebody got it and cashed it, it's gonna 848 01:08:20.600 --> 01:08:26.119 take It's almost impossible to prove it was fraud, and that's gonna be a 849 01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:29.479 problem.

I want to I want to this guy, 933 01:16:00.840 --> 01:16:05.119 So get that stuff on there please, And then Bob says he has 934 01:16:05.159 --> 01:16:10.399 a comment on this concrete scam. Go ahead, Bob. Did anyone try 935 01:16:10.399 --> 01:16:15.239 to hire you under similar circumstances? Bob, No, here's the other scam 936 01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:18.199 that's going on. Tom. What they do is they text you and they 937 01:16:18.319 --> 01:16:23.960 take it. Buy a house and they want the driveway replaced, and they'll 938 01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:27.399 send you a teck for it. So what I did. It happened to 939 01:16:27.399 --> 01:16:30.199 me about a mile from my house. I went to that house. They 940 01:16:30.199 --> 01:16:32.439 had a brand new driveway in it. And so what I do is I 941 01:16:32.439 --> 01:16:35.159 say, hey, I can't do any work without meeting there, and of 942 01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:39.039 course they give me this oh please, I'm in the house or whatever. 943 01:16:39.560 --> 01:16:45.239 And so another contractor actually did the tor off this guy's driveway called me and 944 01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:47.279 said, hey, Bob, did you get a car tone? Yes, 945 01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:50.680 And I said it's a scam. He goes, well, how would you 946 01:16:50.720 --> 01:16:54.479 know that? I said, because it had a brand new driveway in it, 947 01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:57.439 and why would you go do work for somebody or having none? So 948 01:16:57.520 --> 01:17:00.960 that's the other scam that they're pulling. They're trying to do my text also, 949 01:17:01.640 --> 01:17:08.399 Oh my god, tell me. Yeah. I think what they're doing 950 01:17:08.520 --> 01:17:11.880 is they've caught on it. Some people are catching I'm not going to this 951 01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:15.760 phone call thing. If all I could tell contractors, any contractor that can't 952 01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:19.399 need a home, I mean the customer at their house, walk away from 953 01:17:19.399 --> 01:17:23.199 it. You don't even need to have a conversation with him, walk away 954 01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:27.680 otherwise you know you didn't stay up. God, this is a big deal. 955 01:17:28.000 --> 01:17:30.880 I'm I'm glad you told me about it. So how and you had 956 01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:35.359 a friend that got called to Bob. Yeah, so he went out. 957 01:17:35.800 --> 01:17:41.399 He went out, actually did tore on a brand new driveway and put it 958 01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:43.640 back in. And I asked him, I said, why would you tell 959 01:17:43.680 --> 01:17:45.600 out a brand new driveway? He said, because the guy said he didn't 960 01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:48.479 like it and he wanted us to do something different. I said, did 961 01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:50.640 you ever meet with him? He goes, well, no, he's sitting 962 01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:54.359 there. Check. I said, you got taken And that was all the 963 01:17:54.479 --> 01:18:01.039 fourteen thousand dollars he got taken for Oh my gosh, all down now. 964 01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:06.399 So not only hold on, not only did he do the work when he 965 01:18:06.520 --> 01:18:12.159 got overpaid, did he send money back to the guy. No, because 966 01:18:12.159 --> 01:18:15.520 he didn't realize at the point when he got that check and took him to 967 01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:17.760 the bank and they tell him that fraud, that's when he realized he got 968 01:18:17.800 --> 01:18:21.840 ripped off. And that's how I'm saying. Contractors don't their work if you 969 01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:26.600 can't meet the actual homer on the property. And even if you can meet 970 01:18:26.640 --> 01:18:30.079 the homeowner, don't take a cashier's check or a check unless you can clear 971 01:18:30.119 --> 01:18:35.119 it at their bank. Absolutely, I never had that prom in forty years. 972 01:18:35.159 --> 01:18:39.319 But I'm telling you I don't know why the contractor would do work without 973 01:18:39.399 --> 01:18:43.000 getting the actual homer at the place to make sure the work that you want 974 01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:45.479 done you know you're in agreement with it. I want to try to sting 975 01:18:45.560 --> 01:18:49.079 this guy if Oliver gets me all that information.

Then 993 01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:35.600 they send the contractor an overpayment and tell them to pay the real estate person 994 01:20:35.680 --> 01:20:40.319 or someone else. I don't understand why people would ever fall for that. 995 01:20:42.199 --> 01:20:45.000 Have you ever, Kevin, have you ever encountered ever auto service where they 996 01:20:45.000 --> 01:20:47.800 tried to overpay you and say, well, we're gonna we get emails that 997 01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:53.800 they want us to order a dozen sets of a specific tire. Oh really, 998 01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:56.960 send them somewhere and they'll pay us, you know, on delivery or 999 01:20:56.960 --> 01:21:00.600 something, you know, but they're on Michelin, you know, three a 1000 01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:04.239 towel of that.

But 1012 01:21:54.239 --> 01:21:57.399 back when it was built it wasn't. Uh no, no it wasn't. 1013 01:21:57.439 --> 01:22:00.439 But you can't replace it with an old one like a cat. No, 1014 01:22:00.520 --> 01:22:02.119 you can't. You can't get a factory wing for it. So it's only 1015 01:22:02.119 --> 01:22:04.199 going to be after mark. You know how much that's going to cost you? 1016 01:22:04.319 --> 01:22:11.279 Right? Bro?

That's how much Walter. 1023 01:22:35.800 --> 01:22:39.680 You realize the installation is going to double that? Right? Yeah, you 1024 01:22:39.680 --> 01:22:45.079 got it.

All right, 1075 01:26:26.159 --> 01:26:31.000 so Kevin, and that's Apple Air with an E dot com Appleair and 1076 01:26:31.119 --> 01:26:36.039 Air has an E Apple Air dot com. Hey Kevin on the catalytic conversion 1077 01:26:36.039 --> 01:26:45.319 then, so the catalytic converters they're not about Are they about two grand for 1078 01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:49.640 a normal car? Yeah? It just depends on a lot of variables. 1079 01:26:49.640 --> 01:26:53.439 The size of the card matters, the size of the engine matter. Why 1080 01:26:53.439 --> 01:26:56.760 do they have so many cats? I didn't understand that. Well, they 1081 01:26:56.880 --> 01:27:00.159 every time they would pass different regulations the easiest way for many sometimes hang another 1082 01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:06.159 cat. But wait a minute. So when people say they get their catalytic 1083 01:27:06.159 --> 01:27:10.079 converters stolen, they're talking about the one closest to the end of the car 1084 01:27:10.159 --> 01:27:13.079 right there. They're talking about the inline cat. Yes, typically okay, 1085 01:27:13.119 --> 01:27:16.880 and that one. When people say and I can't believe it's this much money, 1086 01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:19.840 they're talking about just one cat because you don't have to replace all of 1087 01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:23.199 them, no, if they're stolen. No, but some of them you 1088 01:27:23.239 --> 01:27:27.279 can only buy through the manufacturer. Some of them not aftermarket available, different 1089 01:27:27.319 --> 01:27:31.159 things, that's why. And and they're that expensive, yes, you know 1090 01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:33.439 they can be high dollar stuff. Is it? The newer the car, 1091 01:27:33.720 --> 01:27:38.000 The newer the car, the more money it is. Yes. And the 1092 01:27:38.119 --> 01:27:42.039 reason they're stealing them is for those precious metals, Yes, exactly. They 1093 01:27:42.119 --> 01:27:45.239 just recycle them. What is the metal? Platinum or what palladium? A 1094 01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:49.199 few other things in there. They change the cocktails. I haven't heard much 1095 01:27:49.199 --> 01:27:53.439 about them lately. No, it's it's kind of quieted down. I think, 1096 01:27:53.600 --> 01:27:57.039 you know, it's it's still going on. I mean it's still you 1097 01:27:57.039 --> 01:28:00.119 know, you still get calls on it. Yeah, yeah, from stole 1098 01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:01.720 one, some stolen one. Now, how often they don't fail? Very 1099 01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:04.840 often? Do they? No? In theory they should never fail. It 1100 01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:11.680 should be a lifetime part really from contamination from misfires, too much gas oil 1101 01:28:11.720 --> 01:28:15.720 burning anti freeze you know as oh that goes into the saut exhaust. That's 1102 01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:19.560 what takes them out. But normally, and don't they even have a long 1103 01:28:19.640 --> 01:28:24.600 warranty from the manufacturer five years to eight years, depending on the manufacturer. 1104 01:28:24.720 --> 01:28:27.560 Yep, all right, three all three seven to one three A two five 1105 01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:36.319 five, Go with a sure thing Denver's Best roofer Excel roofing dot com. 1106 01:28:36.359 --> 01:28:44.560 You don't pay a cent until you're content.

Hi Tom Martino, you're troubleshooting today's 1112 01:29:08.039 --> 01:29:11.960 Star Dable taking calls on anything. Uncle Kevin's with me. We're talking about 1113 01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:18.920 problems, questions and complaints and uh right now, John's got a question about 1114 01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:27.159 his engine on a nineteen ninety three Dodge two fifty diesel. John, Welcome 1115 01:29:27.199 --> 01:29:30.000 to the show. So what's going on? John? Are you good? 1116 01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:33.199 Hey? So I'm looking at take it on a project call. It is 1117 01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:38.520 a ninety three. It's the five point nine intercooled diesel. I know for 1118 01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:43.239 a fact it's going to need the whole NFI fuel pump. But it's got 1119 01:29:43.239 --> 01:29:45.560 two hundred and fifty nine thousand miles on it. And before I take on 1120 01:29:46.239 --> 01:29:48.920 that much of a project, I just want to know there's anything else I 1121 01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:51.800 should look at. How much. How much does it costing you to get 1122 01:29:51.800 --> 01:29:58.520 this ninety three Dodge two fifty. It's gonna be about the truck itself. 1123 01:29:58.520 --> 01:30:00.720 I'm getting for free. It's it's project car that I'm picking up for truck 1124 01:30:01.359 --> 01:30:04.439 service. Well that's great. I mean you can almost not go wrong there, 1125 01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:08.840 even if you had to Kevin do the math. That's a solid motor. 1126 01:30:08.880 --> 01:30:13.079 They're half a million mile motor. Easy. Yeah. But before I 1127 01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:16.159 start taking on the project, is there any other than replacing that pump that 1128 01:30:16.199 --> 01:30:20.520 I should start looking at seals or replace the injectors or anything like that. 1129 01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:26.359 Not necessarily. Those Those were one of the original diesels they come to put 1130 01:30:26.359 --> 01:30:28.680 in. You know, the Cummings that they put in for did how many 1131 01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:32.560 miles? Did he say it's half broke in? You wouldn't rebuild that edge? 1132 01:30:32.600 --> 01:30:38.239 Yeah, that's a five hundred thousand mile that's a legitimate diesel engine. 1133 01:30:38.760 --> 01:30:42.920 Holy they put in a pickup truck. It's not something they And what do 1134 01:30:42.960 --> 01:30:46.159 you need to do? You need to do the whole fuel rail. The 1135 01:30:46.520 --> 01:30:49.760 fuel pump needs to be replaced. There isn't one on the truck that was 1136 01:30:49.800 --> 01:30:53.600 taken off. YEP, So I just got to get another one of those. 1137 01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:56.159 And so how much is all? How much are you going to have 1138 01:30:56.359 --> 01:31:00.640 in it? If you did whatever you wanted? There probably about two thousand 1139 01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:03.960 dollars? Are you kidding me? How's the tranny on it? Is that? 1140 01:31:04.000 --> 01:31:08.439 What kind of DOPPL? Yeah, that's the weak part. But even 1141 01:31:08.479 --> 01:31:10.960 if you had to do the transmission, you're still ahead of it. Yes, 1142 01:31:11.199 --> 01:31:14.680 I mean, Mike, how's the body? Bro how is it? 1143 01:31:14.680 --> 01:31:15.920 It's a farm truck, so you know, the painful, a little dinged 1144 01:31:15.960 --> 01:31:19.239 up, but it has a flatbed sist wheeler on the back, so that's 1145 01:31:19.319 --> 01:31:23.239 kind of why I want it. That's a good setup. But yeah, 1146 01:31:23.279 --> 01:31:26.600 you can't go wrong with that Cummings engine. They're they're bulletproof as they come. 1147 01:31:27.319 --> 01:31:30.439 That's pretty I appreciate that, you know. Okay, thanks John. 1148 01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:35.960 Hey have they ever put a Cummings in a car? Are they too big? 1149 01:31:36.199 --> 01:31:40.960 They're heavy? But they used to sob as these trucks and send the 1150 01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:45.840 engines overseas for generator engines. Is there any way too? Do they make 1151 01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:48.760 any decent diesel cars anymore? They don't do that. The emissions is killing 1152 01:31:48.760 --> 01:31:54.359 them. Okay, that's that's the biggest problem. And then I was at 1153 01:31:54.359 --> 01:31:57.640 a fuel stop one time and I saw a guy with a diesel big two 1154 01:31:57.680 --> 01:32:00.399 fifty or something. I don't know what kind it was. I I say 1155 01:32:00.399 --> 01:32:04.199 two fifty, like that big size, and he was putting He took out 1156 01:32:04.199 --> 01:32:09.439 of the back of his pickup a regular another gas can. He was filling 1157 01:32:09.479 --> 01:32:11.880 something. What was it? Yeah, there's there's a separate added if you 1158 01:32:11.880 --> 01:32:14.840 got to add to the diesels every time, every time, because it has 1159 01:32:14.920 --> 01:32:16.560 to, does it have its own tank? It has a separate tank. 1160 01:32:16.600 --> 01:32:19.520 When you take open the gas door. There's two filler there now. And 1161 01:32:19.600 --> 01:32:23.640 gas stations don't sell that stuff. Everybody sells it, but no, I 1162 01:32:23.680 --> 01:32:26.720 mean nobody. You can't pump it. No, you buy like a two 1163 01:32:26.800 --> 01:32:30.600 gallon box if you will. And so when did that start? What year? 1164 01:32:30.079 --> 01:32:33.319 It's been out for about eight years? Oh? Come on, so 1165 01:32:33.399 --> 01:32:36.319 for eight years. If you have a diesel, you have to fill up 1166 01:32:36.359 --> 01:32:41.439 that other tank. What does that other tank do? It's regeneration fluid. 1167 01:32:42.000 --> 01:32:45.239 So when your computer decides like you're in the highway of this, they're going 1168 01:32:45.319 --> 01:32:48.760 to regenerate the catalytic converter and the exhaust on it. They use this fuel 1169 01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:54.319 to burn that off. Wow, it actually injects it into this. Does 1170 01:32:54.359 --> 01:33:01.199 it deteriorate your performance or no, No, it's just to it's only during 1171 01:33:01.239 --> 01:33:05.640 regeneration. The rest of the time it just sits there. What is it? 1172 01:33:05.680 --> 01:33:10.479 Is it a patrol so uretha fluid the actually use like cow urine and 1173 01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:15.319 other things originally. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a like a urhea. 1174 01:33:15.560 --> 01:33:21.399 Yeah, it's piss. Okay, that's a word. Wow. Three O 1175 01:33:21.560 --> 01:33:26.359 three seven one three talking. He learned something every day here. I bet 1176 01:33:26.359 --> 01:33:30.560 you Dragon didn't know that. Nope, he isn't and he knows almost anything. 1177 01:33:30.640 --> 01:33:33.920 Man, everything all right, Thanks John for the call. Three O 1178 01:33:34.039 --> 01:33:39.600 three seven one three talk seven one three A two five five. Now for 1179 01:33:39.720 --> 01:33:42.520 the first time today we have a little lull and call so you can get 1180 01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:44.920 right through. If you have a problem, question, complaint, let us 1181 01:33:44.960 --> 01:33:48.119 know. And I have some stuff to talk about as well now. And 1182 01:33:48.199 --> 01:33:57.159 I think it's important brand names do not hold the allure that they once did, 1183 01:33:57.439 --> 01:34:04.119 especially in vehicles. People are looking for value, they say longevity. 1184 01:34:05.880 --> 01:34:10.079 I don't know. Do you find there's a shift to people trying to keep 1185 01:34:10.119 --> 01:34:14.840 cars longer? Kiv Oh, absolutely, yeah. Our average ticket prices doubled 1186 01:34:14.840 --> 01:34:17.399 from what it was five years ago, so people are trying to keep longer, 1187 01:34:17.439 --> 01:34:21.000 so that would go. Now as far as brands, there is a 1188 01:34:21.079 --> 01:34:27.960 switch away from brands, not just cars by the way, everything. People 1189 01:34:28.039 --> 01:34:31.640 are not having the loyalty they once had because they feel like, hey, 1190 01:34:31.720 --> 01:34:35.760 I'm not just gonna spend because of a brand. Now with fashion brands, 1191 01:34:35.960 --> 01:34:41.600 women, some women are still tied to that fashion. They want that fashion 1192 01:34:42.119 --> 01:34:45.880 and they want to sport that brand. Men are less inclined to do that 1193 01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:53.600 with fashion at all. Now some men are but most of the time not 1194 01:34:53.760 --> 01:35:02.640 tied to fashion. But they have found fifty eight percent of the people say 1195 01:35:03.279 --> 01:35:11.000 that they purchased from a brand new brand. Fifty eight percent they tried new 1196 01:35:11.039 --> 01:35:15.720 brands, not the same old brand. That is incredible. And then also 1197 01:35:15.000 --> 01:35:20.159 when it comes to personal care products, now I tend to get something I 1198 01:35:20.399 --> 01:35:26.039 like and stick with it. I do. When it comes to personal care, 1199 01:35:27.319 --> 01:35:30.720 A lot of people, though do they don't care. They don't give 1200 01:35:30.720 --> 01:35:32.439 a rip about their shampoo, they don't give a rip about their to the 1201 01:35:32.439 --> 01:35:36.000 odor, and they don't give a rip about anything as long as they get 1202 01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:41.760 a good value. So as far as brand names, they're not tied to 1203 01:35:41.800 --> 01:35:45.720 anything. I I agree with all of this, except when it comes to 1204 01:35:45.760 --> 01:35:48.520 personal care products. When I get something I like, I don't like changing 1205 01:35:48.560 --> 01:35:54.600 it because I'm afraid of what it does to me. I don't want to 1206 01:35:54.600 --> 01:35:57.880 be allergic to something. I want to get something that's comfortable. Katschina. 1207 01:35:57.920 --> 01:36:00.239 I want to ask you something. Do you do you stick to the same 1208 01:36:00.319 --> 01:36:04.000 personal care products all the time, or do you go and find if you 1209 01:36:04.039 --> 01:36:08.479 found a good deal. Would you switch your shampoo or would you switch something 1210 01:36:09.359 --> 01:36:14.439 anything makeup or anything like that, shower gels. Would you switch just because 1211 01:36:14.479 --> 01:36:17.560 you get better prices? Yes, you would. So when you're shopping, 1212 01:36:17.840 --> 01:36:24.119 you don't think I want to find this, whatever it is, lotion or 1213 01:36:24.159 --> 01:36:28.479 whatever. You will go for a deal. I will. Is there anything 1214 01:36:28.520 --> 01:36:31.880 you are tied to When it comes to brands, I do like the Whole 1215 01:36:31.960 --> 01:36:38.760 Blends coconut shampoo and conditioner. Uh, that's one of my So you will 1216 01:36:38.800 --> 01:36:43.000 stick to that. I sometimes do, But if there is something on sale 1217 01:36:43.199 --> 01:36:45.920 or something like that, I'll mix it up during the week and maybe, 1218 01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:49.119 you know, go every other day using the coconut brand or whatever. Lotion. 1219 01:36:49.319 --> 01:36:55.520 I don't care because they're all half water anyway. That's a good point, 1220 01:36:55.760 --> 01:37:00.479 and so are you one that falls for these high priced cosmetics things I 1221 01:37:00.640 --> 01:37:05.479 creams and stuff. No, I do use I cream, but I happen 1222 01:37:05.560 --> 01:37:12.119 to use hemorrhoid cream for I cream. Okay, she's letting a secret out 1223 01:37:12.199 --> 01:37:14.479 that a lot of people what a lot of people do? Hey, Tom, 1224 01:37:14.479 --> 01:37:16.840 don't you think it's also that when men go shopping, we go for 1225 01:37:16.960 --> 01:37:20.159 direct things. You don't walk around and see what we want to buy. 1226 01:37:20.560 --> 01:37:25.119 Shopping is not a sport to me, You're absolutely right. It's not recreation 1227 01:37:25.359 --> 01:37:27.800 and it's not a sport. So you know, if I want to buy 1228 01:37:28.000 --> 01:37:30.439 three things to my house, I go to the exact same three things I 1229 01:37:30.479 --> 01:37:33.920 need and I'm mad at there. I don't walk around and I have one 1230 01:37:34.039 --> 01:37:36.560 And Kevin and I were talking about this off the air. I got one 1231 01:37:36.560 --> 01:37:41.439 step better. I never go shopping anymore, never, I have never ever. 1232 01:37:42.399 --> 01:37:44.920 I can't tell you when I went into a store. I can't tell 1233 01:37:44.960 --> 01:37:50.359 you. I just truly everything, including my coffee, everything is delivered, 1234 01:37:50.960 --> 01:37:57.359 and I love it. Well. I just still go to stores. I 1235 01:37:57.479 --> 01:38:00.319 just put a TV from Costco because it had a wat price and I had 1236 01:38:00.319 --> 01:38:02.760 it delivered. But I did have to go to Costco. No, I 1237 01:38:02.880 --> 01:38:05.239 understand that. No, I'm not talking about a durable, big item. 1238 01:38:05.279 --> 01:38:10.159 I'm talking about like your consumables. Do you go shopping for those? Still? 1239 01:38:10.680 --> 01:38:15.119 I do? Yeah? Really like food and stuff like that? Yeah? 1240 01:38:15.159 --> 01:38:18.279 Everything? Oh absolutely, I have ordered only I think three things in 1241 01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:25.239 my life from Amazon. Wall You're you're an odd one. Now as far 1242 01:38:25.279 --> 01:38:30.960 as brand names, do you care? No? Not really? Okay, 1243 01:38:30.039 --> 01:38:33.760 So what about what about my YouTube morons? Now, I would say they're 1244 01:38:33.800 --> 01:38:38.439 probably not going to be so much into branding people with cars. Still, 1245 01:38:39.039 --> 01:38:42.920 there's a lot of brand loyalty, Like a Ford pickup guy is not going 1246 01:38:43.000 --> 01:38:46.000 to drive a Chevy and Vice versa when it comes to cars. Yes, 1247 01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:49.399 okay, let me see what it says about car brands. I know that 1248 01:38:49.439 --> 01:38:54.680 it's said subarus are almost cult like SAR owners will never let me see. 1249 01:38:54.880 --> 01:39:00.000 Let me see about car brands. Let's see. No, I mean, 1250 01:39:01.000 --> 01:39:04.000 I imagine there's some, but I still see a lot of brand loyalty. 1251 01:39:04.640 --> 01:39:08.479 Yeah, okay, you would know, you would know more than I'm not 1252 01:39:08.520 --> 01:39:12.000 looking. I'm not seeing it on this survey. But I will say that 1253 01:39:12.079 --> 01:39:16.319 you have changed my mind a lot now on cars, because I really did 1254 01:39:16.399 --> 01:39:24.079 think that Mercedes and Beamers, but especially Mercedes were the shisn't it's I truly 1255 01:39:24.159 --> 01:39:29.199 believe, I truly believed that had I want to hold onto a car, 1256 01:39:30.640 --> 01:39:33.239 I can have good, dependable service for many, many years. And you're 1257 01:39:33.279 --> 01:39:39.119 saying that's not necessarily so now you might get that engine to last year, 1258 01:39:39.119 --> 01:39:41.560 but you're going to put a lot of money into it. That bothers me 1259 01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:45.439 a lot. It does Kevin, because it it really shattered my impression. 1260 01:39:45.680 --> 01:39:49.960 Now it's still better than the range Rover, right and that kind of stuff. 1261 01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:55.359 Okay, but you're saying you could get a Japanese car way better as 1262 01:39:55.399 --> 01:40:00.479 far as longevity and dependability and like Alexus, Yeah, you know total you 1263 01:40:00.520 --> 01:40:03.279 know, Lexus is the higher end of course, So what about and not 1264 01:40:03.319 --> 01:40:06.960 that I'm going to get this, but what about Ferrari and Lamborghini? Do 1265 01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:10.560 you even know? I don't know. I mean I had it for our 1266 01:40:10.640 --> 01:40:13.439 years ago when I was stupid and it was a new one, and I 1267 01:40:13.520 --> 01:40:15.199 never had a problem with well, well never had a problem because you don't 1268 01:40:15.199 --> 01:40:19.159 put miles on them, you're afraid to drive. But on those really weird 1269 01:40:19.279 --> 01:40:24.600 kind of cars, I wonder how they are because no one ever knows no, 1270 01:40:25.800 --> 01:40:28.920 because no one puts mileage on them. Who buys them? Then? 1271 01:40:29.000 --> 01:40:31.640 Because you know, on this Ferrari thing, they said, when you get 1272 01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:36.239 two thousand miles, it depreciates the hell I said, what two not twenty 1273 01:40:36.319 --> 01:40:43.560 thousand? Two thousand? Okay, so they're collectors must people must buy that 1274 01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:47.960 page. That's stupid. It's just stupid. Okay, we got to take 1275 01:40:47.960 --> 01:40:50.640 a break. I'm Tom Martino three oh three seven one three eight two five 1276 01:40:50.720 --> 01:41:00.039 five.

Hi, Tom marks you know here? Three oh three 1283 01:41:30.720 --> 01:41:33.880 seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five. Franklin's got a 1284 01:41:33.960 --> 01:41:43.000 question on a twenty twelve Subaru impressa. Okay, what's going on, Franklin? 1285 01:41:45.359 --> 01:41:49.600 Oh, this as a CVT transmission. About a year ago it started 1286 01:41:49.640 --> 01:41:54.359 acting up. What races up to about thirty five hundred before it shifts into 1287 01:41:54.359 --> 01:41:58.159 the first gear. Gosh, I took it to I took it to a 1288 01:41:58.199 --> 01:42:01.520 transmission shop and they looked at and said, essentially, do nothing, wait 1289 01:42:01.600 --> 01:42:05.520 for fall apart. So I'm questioning whether there's anything that makes sense to do. 1290 01:42:05.680 --> 01:42:11.520 It's a three thousand dollars car an eight thousand dollars transmission replacement. So 1291 01:42:11.600 --> 01:42:16.640 are there any suggestions from your guest today? God, short of obchaging out 1292 01:42:16.680 --> 01:42:20.720 fluids or anything, there's really not much you can do. You know, 1293 01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:25.279 you may gain some life in it, but you know they may be run. 1294 01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:27.840 Now, the cars were the what years did you say? It was 1295 01:42:27.840 --> 01:42:32.359 a twelve? So what is the the car? Really? Two or three 1296 01:42:32.359 --> 01:42:38.560 thousand? That's it? What was it in? Impressive? Yeah? Yeah, 1297 01:42:38.720 --> 01:42:41.039 wow, worth a little more than that. But yeah, but I 1298 01:42:41.079 --> 01:42:43.279 know what you're saying. You're get to double the value of the car if 1299 01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:45.239 you put a transmission in. No, double the car. The cost of 1300 01:42:45.279 --> 01:42:49.399 that, not the value. So yeah, you should just run it into 1301 01:42:49.439 --> 01:42:55.279 the ground. How many miles A run it Well, it's about ten thousand 1302 01:42:55.359 --> 01:42:58.000 over where I took it in. It's a one thirty two thousand now, 1303 01:42:58.159 --> 01:43:01.079 it was like one twenty something that I first at show. You may be 1304 01:43:01.119 --> 01:43:03.680 able to sell that. You'd be surprised, you know, tell people has 1305 01:43:03.720 --> 01:43:09.720 transmission issues because you know the mid mid range price on those is probably eight 1306 01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:15.600 to twelve thousand. Wow, for a decent one eight to twelve grand those 1307 01:43:15.600 --> 01:43:17.399 those advertised. Honestly, you may get somebody want to try to fix it 1308 01:43:17.439 --> 01:43:23.600 themselves. Franklin, that's an idea. Yeah, I mean it's probably worth 1309 01:43:23.640 --> 01:43:27.520 more than you think. Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three 1310 01:43:27.600 --> 01:43:30.800 eight two five five.

Now, Tom Martino, 1321 01:44:31.720 --> 01:44:35.600 Hi, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three 1322 01:44:36.079 --> 01:44:41.479 seven one three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five five. 1323 01:44:41.560 --> 01:44:45.880 Listen. We're talking about some important stuff here today. But there's one thing 1324 01:44:45.880 --> 01:44:50.119 I have to bring out, one thing I must make clear. We talked 1325 01:44:50.760 --> 01:44:58.159 a couple of weeks ago about One Solar, a company that was supposed to 1326 01:44:58.239 --> 01:45:00.800 do a solar system for a couple. They did it, but they did 1327 01:45:00.800 --> 01:45:09.279 it in an area that can't feedback to the grid due to Excel Energies insufficient 1328 01:45:10.439 --> 01:45:17.479 grid system there. And this is what they tried to blame Excel Energy for 1329 01:45:17.479 --> 01:45:23.000 this. It's not excels problem. They were warned about this and ignored the 1330 01:45:23.039 --> 01:45:28.159 warning and took sixty grand from these people to get this system in a system 1331 01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:31.960 they can't use properly. And Valor Solar. Valor Roofing is the one that 1332 01:45:32.079 --> 01:45:38.399 sold this system va l R. Now I talked about this. Originally, 1333 01:45:39.600 --> 01:45:44.239 no one would come on and talk about it. Everyone ignored us from One 1334 01:45:44.319 --> 01:45:50.000 Solar and from Valor. But then I started getting texts from Valor, a 1335 01:45:50.119 --> 01:45:56.000 ton of them. And I was getting texts saying, you, you know, 1336 01:45:56.119 --> 01:45:59.720 defamed us. We're a great company, we stand behind our people and 1337 01:46:00.119 --> 01:46:05.159 not getting a whole story. And I said to Mark over at Valor, 1338 01:46:06.319 --> 01:46:09.960 I said, come on the show. You have every opportunity. He said 1339 01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:13.039 he would never called me back. He said he was going to be going 1340 01:46:13.119 --> 01:46:15.520 last week. And I said, I will shut up. I won't say 1341 01:46:15.560 --> 01:46:21.359 a word till you get back. Okay, Well, crickets. That's what 1342 01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:26.000 we're getting from these people. Crickets. And I'm going to tell you why, 1343 01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:30.319 because when he looked into it, he no doubt he no doubt found 1344 01:46:30.399 --> 01:46:35.680 out what I found out, and that is he's in bed with crooks. 1345 01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:40.880 In my opinion, he's in bed with One Solar. And I looked into 1346 01:46:40.920 --> 01:46:44.920 our records and we have several complaints about One Solar, all sold by Valor 1347 01:46:45.199 --> 01:46:48.760 and Valor Roofing sucks. Okay, they might be a long established company with 1348 01:46:48.840 --> 01:46:53.399 a great family name, and I don't think they intend to rip anyone off. 1349 01:46:53.479 --> 01:46:58.159 But I will tell you this, people are getting ripped off in my 1350 01:46:58.279 --> 01:47:02.880 opinion, with these terrible cites stems from One Solar and they don't have an 1351 01:47:02.920 --> 01:47:10.520 explanation for it. So what we get? What do we get? Yeah, 1352 01:47:10.520 --> 01:47:15.239 that's what we get. That's what we get. And we're getting that 1353 01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:21.039 from Valor Roofing and One Solar. They were all bravado, we want to 1354 01:47:21.039 --> 01:47:24.399 come on, we want to do this, we want to do that. 1355 01:47:25.079 --> 01:47:31.159 Yet nothing, So watch out for Valor Roofing. They have sold systems and 1356 01:47:31.279 --> 01:47:36.680 people have been very disappointed. And I gotta tell you, if you're in 1357 01:47:36.720 --> 01:47:41.000 bed with someone who's doing a bad job and you're selling their systems and you 1358 01:47:41.479 --> 01:47:45.720 keep selling them, I got to ask why. So, Mark Brown, 1359 01:47:45.840 --> 01:47:47.640 you know you were all adamant about coming on the air. Come on the 1360 01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:55.439 air, Come on the air. I want to hear why you think paying 1361 01:47:55.640 --> 01:48:00.680 sixty thousand dollars for a solar system you can't use is a great idea. 1362 01:48:02.560 --> 01:48:09.319 Not to mention the other complaints we've gotten about you. Now, let me 1363 01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:15.479 go to the phones. Terry wants to talk about a ninety nineteen ninety Dodge 1364 01:48:15.159 --> 01:48:19.720 Dakota. Hey, what's going on? Hey? Tom?

I'm serious, Kevin said, no, no, what I 1381 01:49:41.039 --> 01:49:45.760 mean that the engine is not really it's it's going to be trouble leaks and 1382 01:49:45.800 --> 01:49:48.960 seals from things. But yeah, no no issues. What is that worth? 1383 01:49:53.199 --> 01:50:02.920 Okay? Yeah? Fifteen? What exactly they paid for it? Yeah? 1384 01:50:02.760 --> 01:50:12.079 Uh a uh collector price about thirty five grand? So what's your question 1385 01:50:12.199 --> 01:50:16.239 about it? Well, I've got a question.

What about the rest of the This thing must run like brand 1389 01:50:32.239 --> 01:50:36.720 new? Right? It is brand new? Yeah? The only thing I 1390 01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:42.760 changed was was the tires and lit it this this last summer. When did 1391 01:50:42.800 --> 01:50:47.159 you get this truck? U? Well, my dad bought it brand new? 1392 01:50:47.800 --> 01:50:51.800 Oh my god? So you know for damn sure that this only has 1393 01:50:53.159 --> 01:50:59.199 twenty thousand miles? Wow? Yes? Wow? And where did you buy 1394 01:50:59.199 --> 01:51:03.159 it? I've never seen I Why why did he let me ask you this? 1395 01:51:03.319 --> 01:51:06.560 Did he put it away on purpose? Like not put miles on it 1396 01:51:06.640 --> 01:51:13.840 on purpose? Exactly? Because if you look up, they only made twelve 1397 01:51:13.880 --> 01:51:19.279 thousand of them. Yeah, I'd never seen one. Did you look it 1398 01:51:19.359 --> 01:51:23.560 up? I'm looking at it. I didn't know they existed. Where do 1399 01:51:23.560 --> 01:51:26.920 you get parts for that? Like the rag top? What would you do? 1400 01:51:28.600 --> 01:51:31.119 I don't know. The ragtops is band new, it's been it's been 1401 01:51:31.199 --> 01:51:34.520 covered. I say, you know, I've got to cover for it. 1402 01:51:34.520 --> 01:51:40.359 It's been covered. If I don't drive, it's covered anyway. So what's 1403 01:51:40.399 --> 01:51:45.239 your question about? Mainly? Transmission? Flu has been mainly okay? Yeah, 1404 01:51:45.319 --> 01:51:50.079 Kevin says, get it done? What twenty two thousand do you do? 1405 01:51:50.239 --> 01:51:56.079 I spend the money to get the transmission? I would you? No? 1406 01:51:56.079 --> 01:51:59.159 No, listen, man, it doesn't just go by miles, It 1407 01:51:59.199 --> 01:52:03.079 goes by time. It's you should get condensation and and you know all kinds 1408 01:52:03.079 --> 01:52:08.239 of different moisture in there. And it's just one of my just simple and 1409 01:52:08.319 --> 01:52:11.960 went in doubt. Just do it. Yeah, if you got any thought 1410 01:52:12.000 --> 01:52:15.520 at all about doing the maintenance, oil changes, tune ups, filters, 1411 01:52:15.600 --> 01:52:19.039 just do them. You'll never go wrongdoing maintenance. So you got too, 1412 01:52:19.359 --> 01:52:24.640 you know, you got a lot of How about twenty something years thirty thirty 1413 01:52:24.680 --> 01:52:27.720 oh thirty? Oh my goodness, you're right? Are you right here? 1414 01:52:27.720 --> 01:52:30.840 Old car? Holy crap, that's right. Yeah, thirty four years old. 1415 01:52:30.840 --> 01:52:35.760 Well bad bought it new one in October of eighty nine. Do you 1416 01:52:35.800 --> 01:52:42.159 know, worry about it? He bought it at Schmidt Motors and obol All 1417 01:52:42.159 --> 01:52:45.399 in Nebraska. Well, well, of course that would be more of California. 1418 01:52:46.319 --> 01:52:53.680 That dealership is not Schmid Motors anymore, but that's where he he ordered 1419 01:52:53.720 --> 01:52:58.119 it through Schmidt Motors and obo All in Nebraska. That's cool. I would 1420 01:52:58.199 --> 01:53:00.840 do all fluids, and I would do everything on that thing. Since it's 1421 01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:04.720 new, I would has it been sitting around a long time, I would 1422 01:53:04.720 --> 01:53:10.039 do hoses, belts, I would do it all. Well, I mean 1423 01:53:10.359 --> 01:53:13.880 every summer he would get it out and drive it. You know, but 1424 01:53:13.920 --> 01:53:15.640 when was the last time it was driven? Right now, when was the 1425 01:53:15.680 --> 01:53:21.520 last time last summer? I drove it last summer? Okay, So just 1426 01:53:21.560 --> 01:53:27.439 be really careful because things that old, the rubbers and all of that. 1427 01:53:27.680 --> 01:53:31.039 Man, you really have to watch that. That's what I meant by you 1428 01:53:31.039 --> 01:53:34.239 know, you know, having mileage. I mean you don't want too much 1429 01:53:34.319 --> 01:53:39.239 mileage, but too little use can hurt that too. I would definitely, 1430 01:53:39.319 --> 01:53:41.960 and even if you used it, so the rubber is going to wear out. 1431 01:53:42.000 --> 01:53:46.000 I mean there's a life limit to rubber and to belts into hoses and 1432 01:53:46.039 --> 01:53:50.239 all of that. Anyway, Yeah, all right, cool, this is 1433 01:53:50.359 --> 01:53:54.880 uh, this was cool now, Pete, what about you? Pete? 1434 01:53:54.920 --> 01:54:00.359 What's going on? Hey, Tom Kevin, I just wanted to I bought 1435 01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:05.600 a twenty twenty one ram Pro Master work Fan about six months ago in November 1436 01:54:05.640 --> 01:54:11.000 and December, and bought if from Enterprise Rental. I had truck of thunder 1437 01:54:11.039 --> 01:54:13.520 and the guy hit me in total it and they gave me some money. 1438 01:54:13.520 --> 01:54:16.439 So I just bought a rental truck to them and it had seventy thousand no 1439 01:54:16.479 --> 01:54:18.520 o, my got it. It's got seventy eight five on it. Now. 1440 01:54:18.520 --> 01:54:23.760 They gave me a twelve thousand miles or twelve years or twelve months bumping 1441 01:54:23.760 --> 01:54:27.239 a bump for warranty, and I just hear so much about the transmissions. 1442 01:54:27.239 --> 01:54:30.319 Oh, your transmission is going to go to heck at you know, seventy 1443 01:54:30.359 --> 01:54:32.319 thousand miles and you to spend eight I've been here in the last couple of 1444 01:54:32.960 --> 01:54:38.000 Yeah, so it's not. This is a van, right, yes, 1445 01:54:38.199 --> 01:54:42.239 yes, So what would would the issue be? There's is there any particular 1446 01:54:42.319 --> 01:54:45.039 issues? Every car is going to have a transmission issue before. That's the 1447 01:54:45.119 --> 01:54:48.600 first major issue in most cars, but not at seventy eight thousand. No, 1448 01:54:48.600 --> 01:54:51.279 no, no, I would just you know, if you don't have 1449 01:54:51.319 --> 01:54:56.119 any record of maintenance, I would perform maintenance cool. I have full record 1450 01:54:56.119 --> 01:54:59.399 of maintenance from Enterprise Rental. They kept very good record. They change the 1451 01:54:59.399 --> 01:55:02.159 fluids, you know, it's got that ten thousand mile oral change on which 1452 01:55:02.159 --> 01:55:04.680 to me is crazy. I would never go that long, but you know, 1453 01:55:05.239 --> 01:55:08.600 but no, they give me all the records. But there's nothing that 1454 01:55:08.920 --> 01:55:11.840 I see stiff online and everything, you know, and people posting all that 1455 01:55:11.840 --> 01:55:14.479 thing is going to crap out on you, and you know, and it's 1456 01:55:14.680 --> 01:55:17.840 perfect, it runs perfect, it's in perfect conditions. And so is there 1457 01:55:17.880 --> 01:55:20.600 any just just do what did you pay? What did you pay for that 1458 01:55:21.439 --> 01:55:26.199 twenty eight thousand? That's not bad at all? Nope, I could your 1459 01:55:26.239 --> 01:55:30.079 predictable. The transmission is going to go out on it at some point, 1460 01:55:30.439 --> 01:55:33.079 at some point, yeah, yeah. Here should I be changing the flood? 1461 01:55:33.159 --> 01:55:36.199 How often should I be changing the foods and stuff? Depending on the 1462 01:55:36.279 --> 01:55:40.960 driving, you know, every other you know, every two years or so, 1463 01:55:41.560 --> 01:55:43.439 you know, or if you're doing a lot more miles than that, 1464 01:55:43.479 --> 01:55:45.920 you can shorten it, but very few people would do more mileage than every 1465 01:55:45.920 --> 01:55:49.479 two years. Yeah, you know, forty forty fifty thousand miles about as 1466 01:55:49.520 --> 01:55:55.199 far as you want to go. I got mile a mob now just full 1467 01:55:55.279 --> 01:55:58.920 tools. I'm a plumber and a plumbing contractor and I drive a lot of 1468 01:55:59.039 --> 01:56:01.520 thousand to twelve hundred all them off. But it's it's emactly. I mean, 1469 01:56:01.560 --> 01:56:04.880 I love it. You know that is very cool, man. I'm 1470 01:56:04.920 --> 01:56:10.560 so happy when people can find stuff that's just serviceable and still work. You're 1471 01:56:10.560 --> 01:56:13.840 beating the system, thank you.

Tom, So, just recently, very 1474 01:56:21.399 --> 01:56:26.520 recently, my husband passed away, and prior to that we were trying to 1475 01:56:26.520 --> 01:56:30.199 get rid of a time share, and so we never went fell through went 1476 01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:34.439 through with it, and so we're I'm at the point now where I've just 1477 01:56:34.479 --> 01:56:40.199 paid the maintenance fee and I'm I don't want to keep this. The maintenance 1478 01:56:40.199 --> 01:56:45.840 CITEA actually isn't too bad at all. It's eight sixty three sixty and we've 1479 01:56:45.880 --> 01:56:55.319 had it for twenty two years and so and it's in the Westgate in Vegas. 1480 01:56:56.039 --> 01:56:59.199 So what is it good for a week? Is it good for a 1481 01:56:59.239 --> 01:57:02.279 week? It's good for one week. But because of the location, we've 1482 01:57:02.319 --> 01:57:08.039 been to different states in different places. No, I understand. But as 1483 01:57:08.079 --> 01:57:11.680 far as this goes, though, it's good for a week, and you 1484 01:57:11.760 --> 01:57:15.399 have maintenance? Did you have you ever had any other expenses with it? 1485 01:57:15.479 --> 01:57:19.359 No? What would you say? Your total maintenance has been over twenty two 1486 01:57:19.399 --> 01:57:26.920 years? Oh my, okay, so let's say it's just roughly yeah, 1487 01:57:27.399 --> 01:57:31.439 would it be about thirty thousand? Maybe? And so what are you looking 1488 01:57:31.479 --> 01:57:35.920 to get out of it? Because you're they don't have any value? Yeah, 1489 01:57:36.000 --> 01:57:40.319 I don't want anything out of it. I just want to be released 1490 01:57:40.359 --> 01:57:43.239 from the deed. I want to get out of the deed. Okay, 1491 01:57:43.319 --> 01:57:46.119 listen to it. Well, you're not in a terrible situation because you don't 1492 01:57:46.119 --> 01:57:49.640 owe money. What I mean is this, You really own it free and 1493 01:57:49.720 --> 01:57:55.079 clear, although you're you know you have to pay maintenance. So it's not 1494 01:57:55.159 --> 01:57:58.159 going to be as difficult for you to get out of it as people who 1495 01:57:58.199 --> 01:58:03.760 owe money on it. Okay, so it's going to be easier. Now 1496 01:58:03.840 --> 01:58:08.680 here's the thing, though, what you want to make sure you do when 1497 01:58:08.720 --> 01:58:14.239 you do get out of it is get out of it without recourse. You 1498 01:58:14.399 --> 01:58:16.920 do not want to have to take it back if someone you sell it to 1499 01:58:17.039 --> 01:58:20.119 or give it to, Like if you sell it for a dollar or give 1500 01:58:20.159 --> 01:58:23.960 it to somebody, that sounds like you're out of it, but not, 1501 01:58:24.199 --> 01:58:28.319 No, you're not. They Usually That's why I call it financial herpies. 1502 01:58:28.640 --> 01:58:31.680 You never really get away from it. Even though you don't have an outbreak. 1503 01:58:31.720 --> 01:58:34.920 Somebody might take it over. If they ever go belly up, they 1504 01:58:34.960 --> 01:58:39.399 come back to you. You need to get out of it without that, 1505 01:58:39.720 --> 01:58:45.640 Without that stipulation. You need to get the developer to release you from liability. 1506 01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:48.039 Now there's a good chance they'll take this back off. All you want 1507 01:58:48.079 --> 01:58:50.840 to do is sign it over to them. There's a very good chance. 1508 01:58:51.199 --> 01:58:56.760 Have you asked them outright if they would take it back, Tom, I 1509 01:58:56.800 --> 01:59:00.439 haven't been in touch with or anyone at all. Okay, the first thing 1510 01:59:00.439 --> 01:59:03.640 I want you to do before anything. Okay, we do have a great 1511 01:59:03.680 --> 01:59:10.000 attorney on the referral list that does an honest job of getting people out of 1512 01:59:10.000 --> 01:59:15.880 time shares. But it costs four to five thousand regular minimum and it could 1513 01:59:15.920 --> 01:59:19.680 be but but you don't need to pay that. Probably if you can call 1514 01:59:19.720 --> 01:59:23.920 them and say, look, I have a paid off condo or whatever it 1515 01:59:23.960 --> 01:59:26.720 is, I have been there and I'm not going to use it. I'd 1516 01:59:26.800 --> 01:59:30.800 like to sign it back to you and not have any recourse in the future. 1517 01:59:30.880 --> 01:59:33.199 I do not want anyone coming back to me. And obviously you'd want 1518 01:59:33.239 --> 01:59:36.760 an attorney to look over any release they send you. But I have a 1519 01:59:36.840 --> 01:59:42.720 feeling if you call them, you're in a position where they might take it. 1520 01:59:44.199 --> 01:59:49.319 Great to try that first, but don't sign anything until we have an 1521 01:59:49.359 --> 01:59:55.479 attorney look at it. So try that first. If they won't voluntarily take 1522 01:59:55.520 --> 01:59:58.760 it back, and you shouldn't have to pay them to do that. If 1523 01:59:58.800 --> 02:00:03.640 they won't do it, then we're going to have to go to our timeshare 1524 02:00:04.560 --> 02:00:10.239 attorney on the web on the referral list. Okay, and who is she? 1525 02:00:10.399 --> 02:00:15.479 Tom? You mean as far as that attorney, Yeah, what's his 1526 02:00:15.680 --> 02:00:21.560 name? It's the Finn Law Group, Finn f I n N. It's 1527 02:00:21.640 --> 02:00:25.640 the Finn Law Group. And you'll find him on the referral list. He's 1528 02:00:25.680 --> 02:00:29.920 out of Florida. And let me see if I have his number handy, 1529 02:00:29.960 --> 02:00:31.760 I may or may not. Let me see Finn Law group. I just 1530 02:00:31.840 --> 02:00:36.600 searched that. Here's the shoot. Where is it? I thought I looked 1531 02:00:36.640 --> 02:00:41.319 at it and I don't see Finn. Let me find it Finn Law Group. 1532 02:00:41.359 --> 02:00:44.880 Okay, boom, hold on, Oh there it is.

Hi Tom Martine here three oh three seven one three 1545 02:01:56.640 --> 02:02:02.840 talk three oh three seven one three eight two five five. So we have 1546 02:02:03.800 --> 02:02:11.439 Valor Roofing and one Solar that you should avoid, in my opinion, at 1547 02:02:11.479 --> 02:02:15.920 all costs when it comes to solar. I'm not speaking to Valor as a 1548 02:02:15.000 --> 02:02:19.680 roofer because we've not gotten complaints about them as a roofer. I want to 1549 02:02:19.680 --> 02:02:25.079 be fair here, but they seem to be in bed with bad people when 1550 02:02:25.159 --> 02:02:30.720 it comes to solar systems. The guy said he was going to call, 1551 02:02:30.399 --> 02:02:33.720 He wanted to come on the show. He was adamant about it. I 1552 02:02:33.720 --> 02:02:36.279 even said, I'll stop talking about it till you come on. I gave 1553 02:02:36.319 --> 02:02:42.680 him a week. Valor Roofing is the one selling the system. So in 1554 02:02:42.720 --> 02:02:46.520 my opinion, they're as bad as one solar because one solar is the screwjob. 1555 02:02:47.520 --> 02:02:54.079 Valor is the one selling the screwjob. So therefore, what do you 1556 02:02:54.119 --> 02:03:01.239 get? One two punch. I wish it wasn't this way, but when 1557 02:03:01.279 --> 02:03:06.760 I look up on my records one Solar, I find nothing but trouble. 1558 02:03:09.359 --> 02:03:13.560 Okay, I'm gonna search here, just a blind search. I'm gonna go 1559 02:03:13.600 --> 02:03:18.359 to Valor. Listen to this one. This is Beth. Listen to this 1560 02:03:18.399 --> 02:03:24.119 one. Beth and her husband signed up with Valor Roofing in July for a 1561 02:03:24.199 --> 02:03:30.119 fifty four thousand dollars system. They don't have the income to qualify for the 1562 02:03:30.199 --> 02:03:36.039 tax credit. The system was installed by One Solar and it's being financed through 1563 02:03:36.079 --> 02:03:45.000 good Leap. This is all the same characters, okay, but she says 1564 02:03:45.199 --> 02:03:50.680 they never signed a purchaser financing agreement. She's pissed at the entire process, 1565 02:03:50.880 --> 02:03:59.279 and the system is inoperative. Now, obviously, if they can't use the 1566 02:03:59.319 --> 02:04:03.199 tax credit, that's a problem. But they can sell those tax credits or 1567 02:04:03.239 --> 02:04:08.720 carry them forward. But you know, I'm not saying that that's a problem 1568 02:04:08.760 --> 02:04:16.159 with Valor, except don't you think Valor and One Solar have a responsibility to 1569 02:04:16.199 --> 02:04:21.479 explain all this to an older couple? And then what about the system being 1570 02:04:21.479 --> 02:04:28.319 an operative? What did we get when we contacted someone about this problem over 1571 02:04:28.319 --> 02:04:33.560 there? And what did we get? Crickets? Now, let's have another 1572 02:04:33.640 --> 02:04:36.840 problem here. I'm going to look at another one. Oh, here's one 1573 02:04:38.079 --> 02:04:44.079 Valor roofing and Solar sold them a system that does not work. This is 1574 02:04:44.239 --> 02:04:49.039 Jack back in July of twenty twenty two. Back then, and then we 1575 02:04:49.239 --> 02:04:56.039 have Lloy and Alexis who bought the one that can't be activated because it's got 1576 02:04:56.039 --> 02:05:00.239 to be off grid. In October twenty twenty two, paid fifty five four 1577 02:05:00.399 --> 02:05:05.159 thousand. Again, during the application process, they did not file the proper 1578 02:05:05.199 --> 02:05:10.479 paperwork, even though they say they did. One Solar refused to get the 1579 02:05:10.560 --> 02:05:18.119 auxiliary the supplemental report that that was required by Excel. They would have found 1580 02:05:18.159 --> 02:05:25.640 out that they can't go forward, but instead rushed forward. Yeah, so 1581 02:05:26.239 --> 02:05:32.279 basically, you know what, you make your own conclusion. Okay, make 1582 02:05:32.319 --> 02:05:42.920 your own conclusion. Valor roofing and solar and one solar stay away. In 1583 02:05:43.000 --> 02:05:46.760 my opinion, Greg, what's going on with you? Greg? Hi? 1584 02:05:46.920 --> 02:05:55.479 Tom Hey, My sister, her husband's recently they owned a timeshare in South 1585 02:05:55.560 --> 02:06:02.199 Carolina and they paid the maintenance through the rest of the year. I have 1586 02:06:02.399 --> 02:06:09.520 seen different companies that will advertise to sell your time share, but they're anywhere 1587 02:06:09.560 --> 02:06:14.199 between six hundred to two thousand dollars. All they're all liars and cheeters. 1588 02:06:14.239 --> 02:06:15.640 Not one of them will do it, not one of them. If you 1589 02:06:15.720 --> 02:06:19.439 pay them four to six hundred dollars. They may give you the illusion they're 1590 02:06:19.439 --> 02:06:23.199 selling it. They're not selling anything, and you're still on the hook. 1591 02:06:23.560 --> 02:06:26.960 And if anything goes wrong with anyone they sign it over to they come back 1592 02:06:27.000 --> 02:06:30.439 to you. It is not a true sale, and in some cases you 1593 02:06:30.479 --> 02:06:33.520 get nothing. Do not do. No one wants to buy your time share 1594 02:06:33.680 --> 02:06:40.279 at all. They're useless, valueless pieces of crap. They're financial herpies. 1595 02:06:40.760 --> 02:06:46.720 No one wants them, no one, No one wants The actual resort said 1596 02:06:46.760 --> 02:06:51.000 that they would buy it back for two hundred and fifty dollars. They're no 1597 02:06:51.119 --> 02:06:58.680 longer selling time shares. They've got a hotel and a time share combination. 1598 02:06:59.399 --> 02:07:02.680 But they say they would take it back from my sister, releaser of everything, 1599 02:07:03.159 --> 02:07:06.520 for a fee of two hundred and fifty dollars. Wait, they want 1600 02:07:06.520 --> 02:07:13.640 to charge her. Yes, that's cheap. No, that's cheap because if 1601 02:07:13.680 --> 02:07:16.279 you hire a really good company like the fin Law Group, it's going to 1602 02:07:16.319 --> 02:07:23.520 cost money. So if you can truly get the developer truly to release you 1603 02:07:23.600 --> 02:07:28.520 for the two fifty, you got to look at the agreement first and make 1604 02:07:28.560 --> 02:07:32.800 sure, because let me tell you about releases, most of the time with 1605 02:07:32.920 --> 02:07:42.479 a timeshare, you are not being released. They are taking it off your 1606 02:07:42.560 --> 02:07:47.960 hands. But they were, but they have recourse against you. Let's say 1607 02:07:48.000 --> 02:07:51.920 they place it with someone else who stops paying. They can go back to 1608 02:07:53.319 --> 02:07:59.720 you, so make sure there is no recourse against her. Yeah, I'll 1609 02:07:59.760 --> 02:08:03.000 have an attorney look at it. I'll ask them to send through. I'll 1610 02:08:03.039 --> 02:08:09.159 also see if they can't reduce that fee because they're going to turn it into 1611 02:08:09.199 --> 02:08:13.600 a hotel room. And hey, listen, even if they don't reduce the 1612 02:08:13.640 --> 02:08:18.920 fee, that is truly not a bad thing. If they do it. 1613 02:08:20.119 --> 02:08:24.560 Got it, got it, Thank you so much, Thank you.

How many miles did 1635 02:10:11.680 --> 02:10:15.000 he say it had? One hundred and some Yeah, one hundred and thirty 1636 02:10:15.000 --> 02:10:24.359 thousand nineteen ninety eight. Well, let me ask you something. Why do 1637 02:10:24.399 --> 02:10:30.680 you want to sell it? Because I have a company car now that I 1638 02:10:30.800 --> 02:10:33.600 drive for everything, and it's just sitting on my property. I don't need 1639 02:10:33.600 --> 02:10:41.439 it anymore. Okay, Now we don't know your name, so don't feel 1640 02:10:41.560 --> 02:10:46.159 pressured. Have you ever thought about donating it. I've heard you the other 1641 02:10:46.319 --> 02:10:50.199 day talk about donating it to that family that you're sponsoring. Well, I'm 1642 02:10:50.279 --> 02:10:54.760 sponsoring more than one. But I'm just listen, man, I don't want 1643 02:10:54.800 --> 02:10:58.880 to And I'm serious when I tell you this. I'm not getting any thing 1644 02:10:58.960 --> 02:11:01.640 personal of this, and I'm not trying to hit anybody up. I'm just 1645 02:11:01.760 --> 02:11:05.319 curious if you ever thought about it, and I promise you I don't think 1646 02:11:05.359 --> 02:11:07.560 any less of you. If you need to get money out of it, 1647 02:11:07.600 --> 02:11:11.359 how much all of that? Truly, I was just curious. I would 1648 02:11:11.399 --> 02:11:13.760 consider it. I just need to know, Like, I don't even know 1649 02:11:13.760 --> 02:11:18.760 how to do that. Okay, do you own it free and clear? 1650 02:11:18.119 --> 02:11:22.359 Let me tell you how to do a sale. If you did this free 1651 02:11:22.359 --> 02:11:24.960 and clear, you get the title. It's this easy. You do a 1652 02:11:26.000 --> 02:11:31.279 bill of sale for the honest price and you sign it over to the person 1653 02:11:31.319 --> 02:11:33.119 with the VEN number on it. You can get the form from the state 1654 02:11:33.800 --> 02:11:37.960 and then you take your title and sign it over and that's it. It's 1655 02:11:39.039 --> 02:11:43.000 that easy. But you have to make sure you get real money and not 1656 02:11:43.159 --> 02:11:48.920 funny money, because there's so many scams out there, so many people trying 1657 02:11:48.960 --> 02:11:54.439 to scam you. So that's how you do it? Where do I advertise? 1658 02:11:54.359 --> 02:11:58.239 Well, that's the problem, that's where the scams come. You go 1659 02:11:58.319 --> 02:12:03.279 to you know, just recently got so fed up he sold it to a 1660 02:12:03.319 --> 02:12:05.880 dealer. He was going to sell his son's car, and he went. 1661 02:12:07.239 --> 02:12:09.439 I think you go to like Craigslist and Facebook, marketplace, all the normal 1662 02:12:09.439 --> 02:12:15.479 stuff. It's all free normally, right, But here's the problem. Almost 1663 02:12:15.640 --> 02:12:18.000 every call you gets going to be a scam, a text or a call. 1664 02:12:18.279 --> 02:12:22.199 They're gonna want to I don't know if they're all scams. Now, 1665 02:12:22.319 --> 02:12:26.399 every once in a while you will get someone legit, but you have to 1666 02:12:26.479 --> 02:12:31.319 take the time to ferret through them and figure out which one is which. 1667 02:12:31.600 --> 02:12:35.760 The only time I would even consider it, it is nothing off of if 1668 02:12:35.800 --> 02:12:41.880 you do Facebook and if you do Craigslist, don't do anything off of there 1669 02:12:41.920 --> 02:12:45.880 with direct emails to each other. What you do is you meet them at 1670 02:12:45.880 --> 02:12:48.600 a bank. Period. They can see the car, and you can go 1671 02:12:48.640 --> 02:12:52.800 to their bank and get cash for whatever check they write. The only way 1672 02:12:54.039 --> 02:12:56.720 period, no other way, no other way. If they want to pay 1673 02:12:56.800 --> 02:13:01.479 cash and forego the bank, eat in a public place or at a public 1674 02:13:01.520 --> 02:13:05.920 place and bring someone with you. Tom, I would just meet it my 1675 02:13:05.119 --> 02:13:09.039 bank. If they're paying cash, well, if they're paying cash, yes, 1676 02:13:09.119 --> 02:13:11.560 that's a good idea because it's a public place and you can put the 1677 02:13:11.640 --> 02:13:16.039 right in right right away, right. But if they're paying by checks, 1678 02:13:16.039 --> 02:13:18.119 you go to their bank. It's that easy. Never ever, ever, 1679 02:13:18.319 --> 02:13:22.680 any other way, no matter what they say. But but listen, how 1680 02:13:22.760 --> 02:13:26.520 much are they worth? I don't know. Come on, Kevin, it's 1681 02:13:26.560 --> 02:13:33.880 a fifteen, all right, So what if they want to test drive it? 1682 02:13:35.159 --> 02:13:39.079 Well, it's all a challenge because there's trust involved. You know what, 1683 02:13:39.279 --> 02:13:41.319 everyone's going to want to test drive it. That's why you should donate. 1684 02:13:41.399 --> 02:13:46.960 I'm just kidding. I'm just I'm just kidding. Insurance on it right 1685 02:13:48.000 --> 02:13:50.600 now? Can someone test drive it? If I have no insurance? Nope, 1686 02:13:50.880 --> 02:13:58.319 you'd be liable. Shoot, let me take that off here, let 1687 02:13:58.319 --> 02:14:03.239 me take that off your hands. Listen, listen, I'll tell you what. 1688 02:14:03.640 --> 02:14:07.000 If you want to sell it, you can't let him test drive it 1689 02:14:07.039 --> 02:14:09.439 with assurance. You can, but you're going to your ass is on the 1690 02:14:09.479 --> 02:14:16.840 line for anything that happens to it. So you need someone who has the 1691 02:14:16.840 --> 02:14:20.520 wherewithal to get that car, get a tempt tag? Get it sure. 1692 02:14:20.640 --> 02:14:24.199 In fact, here's what's something you need to know. Do you have plates 1693 02:14:24.199 --> 02:14:28.840 on it? Yeah, it's got plates. Okay, how good are the 1694 02:14:28.840 --> 02:14:35.319 plates to when? Uh? With Actually I have it parked with the state. 1695 02:14:35.680 --> 02:14:39.920 It's good till may. Okay, when you say good till may, 1696 02:14:39.960 --> 02:14:43.399 that's your plate right now, right, Never ever sell that with the plate 1697 02:14:43.439 --> 02:14:46.479 on it, ever, no matter who you sell it to. And if 1698 02:14:46.479 --> 02:14:48.359 somebody says, well I need the plate in order to go, you don't. 1699 02:14:48.439 --> 02:14:52.880 In Colorado, you do not need a temp tag. As long as 1700 02:14:52.960 --> 02:14:56.840 you have a bill of sale with you in the car along with something else. 1701 02:14:56.119 --> 02:15:01.399 There's a way to sell it, and there's a way to they can 1702 02:15:01.399 --> 02:15:05.800 transport it. Yeah, but listen, man, leave your name in number 1703 02:15:05.039 --> 02:15:09.640 and uh and see and and we'll see if we can help you. And 1704 02:15:09.720 --> 02:15:11.960 maybe I can get you some cash and let you know what I can find 1705 02:15:11.960 --> 02:15:16.159 out. Let me try to figure this out. Uh, And then I 1706 02:15:16.199 --> 02:15:20.640 can do everything here. Yeah, I can do everything for you, and 1707 02:15:20.680 --> 02:15:24.760 I won't pressure you. Listen. I'm serious though, If anyone listening, 1708 02:15:24.920 --> 02:15:28.600 and and I don't I have more than one family. But you know, 1709 02:15:28.640 --> 02:15:31.600 and I went to court. By the way, this one family I went 1710 02:15:31.640 --> 02:15:37.880 with court yesterday. They got their asylum temporary asylum. Now what happens is 1711 02:15:37.880 --> 02:15:41.079 you go and you get temporary asylum and then you have to come back for 1712 02:15:41.119 --> 02:15:46.000 a permanent hearing and they want to make sure you're working and not doing anything 1713 02:15:46.000 --> 02:15:50.000 wrong. But but any anyway, Hey Tom, just good. Where are 1714 02:15:50.000 --> 02:15:56.720 they from Venezuela. Yeah, see a lot of people from Venezuela came and 1715 02:15:56.760 --> 02:16:00.199 they were put on a bus to hear. And then I'm just gonna be 1716 02:16:00.239 --> 02:16:03.000 straight with you here, the city just drop. They don't do anything for 1717 02:16:03.079 --> 02:16:05.079 it. Well, they've been doing temporary housing and other stub So when the 1718 02:16:05.119 --> 02:16:09.520 mayor comes out and says they need all this money and they're cutting back services, 1719 02:16:09.119 --> 02:16:15.039 I think he's using them as an excuse because they're not doing anything. 1720 02:16:15.359 --> 02:16:18.920 I mean, I mean, but I mean, they're not doing anything I 1721 02:16:18.960 --> 02:16:22.399 know of. I mean, you know, I know families and not one 1722 02:16:22.439 --> 02:16:24.319 of them is getting any help. So I don't know what where who's getting 1723 02:16:24.399 --> 02:16:28.159 help. I'd like to know it's not the people that want to work, 1724 02:16:28.359 --> 02:16:31.520 not people who want to do something with their lives, because they're not getting 1725 02:16:31.560 --> 02:16:35.600 help. So who's being helped with all this money they're cutting back? I 1726 02:16:35.680 --> 02:16:37.799 want to know. I'd love to get the mayor on this show, but 1727 02:16:37.840 --> 02:16:43.559 he would never come on this show because I'd ask real questions. I wouldn't 1728 02:16:43.639 --> 02:16:46.360 stroke him like Channel nine or all these other people, they all have a 1729 02:16:46.360 --> 02:16:50.360 little love fest with him. I mean, this guy is a clown. 1730 02:16:52.079 --> 02:16:54.159 Actually I shouldn't say that. I wouldn't assume he was a clown. If 1731 02:16:54.159 --> 02:16:56.479 he wants to come on the show and talk about this, I honest a 1732 02:16:56.479 --> 02:17:00.520 guy would love to talk to him, and you know this is probably the 1733 02:17:00.520 --> 02:17:05.360 one audience where he'd really get some headway. I want to know, what 1734 02:17:05.399 --> 02:17:07.799 are you doing to help? Can I help you help? You know? 1735 02:17:07.920 --> 02:17:11.920 Let's get word out about these programs. I think people who want to help 1736 02:17:11.959 --> 02:17:13.840 themselves should be helped a little, but not a lot if you help them 1737 02:17:13.840 --> 02:17:18.440 too much. This is what I found out over these last several months here. 1738 02:17:18.760 --> 02:17:22.360 If you help someone too much, they don't help themselves. It doesn't 1739 02:17:22.360 --> 02:17:26.319 matter how good they are, it's a natural tendency. They start depending on 1740 02:17:26.440 --> 02:17:28.399 it. I got to take a break. More coming up
