I'm welcome to Who's that is that?

8
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.079
Me? Oh? That's you?
Okay, Sorry, Paul the waterman making

9
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:58.200
noise today? Thank you? Paul
talking about making noise seriously. Now let's

10
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.520
get right to that, and then
I'm gonna go to the owns. Tom

11
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:06.040
wants to talk about caliber collision,
which usually we don't hear bad things about,

12
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.319
but anything on your mind. Here's
the important thing folks to remember about

13
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.840
this show. Never have to wait. You can call three oh three Martino

14
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:21.439
twenty four to seven three three six
two seven eight four sixty six. That

15
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.680
number is getting very popular around the
country. People are spreading it around because

16
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:26.840
they don't know where to go for
help, and this is the only place

17
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.599
ever, the longest running radio show
in America is still on the air with

18
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.680
the same host. I say,
the longest running show in the universe.

19
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.319
I don't know of many others,
but anyway, So we have Paul the

20
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:49.280
Waterman with us, and he says
there are microscopic amounts of pharmaceuticals and also

21
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:57.959
plastics. Now I liken it to
this. If you ever saw a bucket

22
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:04.200
of water or glass water or whatever, a gallon water and I took my

23
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:13.080
finger and put it I'm serious now, and just touched dog poop, just

24
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:19.039
touched it and then dip my finger
in water in the water. Would you

25
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.000
drink that water? Of course you
wouldn't. Now, I'm not saying that

26
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.599
your water's filled with poop. Here's
what I'm saying. Though. It definitely

27
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.599
has more impurities than I just described. But people when they see something,

28
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:38.639
they think, ah, right,
yeah, But when they don't see it,

29
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.960
they ingest it. That goes for
food, that goes for drink,

30
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.960
that goes for everything. Now,
I don't want to make everyone paranoid.

31
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:53.199
We do what we can right supplementation, we do what we can with nutrition.

32
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:59.840
We do what we can in life. And one of the most plentiful

33
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:04.599
new nutrients is water. But we
don't necessarily do that because we rely on

34
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:10.680
water systems. Now, I've often
said municipal water systems, Paul. They

35
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.960
remove the cats and the dogs and
the mice and the giant particles from water.

36
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:20.719
Correct, They don't do anything else. That's it. Now do they

37
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:25.960
purify? They do? They do
pureify in a way. Explain what purification?

38
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.439
Like chlorine? Doesn't that kill stuff? Well, they use the chloramine,

39
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.120
so they're sanitizing the water. Okay, So what does that mean to

40
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.599
sanitize water, Well, disinfects.
So does it take out the prescription drugs?

41
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:42.159
No? And you have to be
careful because there are amba brain eating

42
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:47.560
amibas that are in municipal water supplies, and so the CDC issued a alert

43
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.319
for these nettipots and because people using
these, you know, to rench your

44
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.080
nasal. It happened in Texas and
Florida. Yeah, it killed, It

45
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.719
got into their brain. So you
have some micro organisms. We have pharmacutals

46
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.879
that we have plastics. We'll be
talking about that through the show to enlighten

47
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.000
your day or to make let's say, it's not something people like talking about,

48
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.240
but listen, I'm not telling you
you should worry about everything you do.

49
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.720
But if you're going to take the
time to cook right, eat right,

50
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:25.800
supplements health you know, then you
should take the time to at least

51
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.720
do what's right with drinking water.
Paul the Waterman is here waterpros dot Net.

52
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.560
Tom wants to talk about Caliber collision. So Tom, what's going on?

53
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.000
What's happening? Man? Hey,
good morning, Good morning Tom.

54
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.720
Thanks for having on your show the
problem with caliber collision. But now what's

55
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.160
the problem? Tom? Start from
the beginning. What kind of accident,

56
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.879
what kind of damage? What happened? Yeah, I was on I seventy

57
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.160
and I had my truck camper in
and I was hit my commercial vehicle,

58
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.759
you know, one of these vehicle
carriers. Okay, that was in twenty

59
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.879
nineteen, I believe December. I
went to calber to get it fixed in

60
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:08.360
I think about March April timeframe,
and they fixed it. It was the

61
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:14.120
damage was back to the rear two
quarter panels. Caliber collision and what what's

62
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.720
wrong? Now? What's right?
Not? Well, their repair failed.

63
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:24.399
Actually on the has a big cracks. Well, one night during the winter,

64
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.639
I just came back and it just
had a long about four inch crack

65
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.399
and so obviously they repaired it in
a bond with a bounder like product.

66
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.240
Well, did hold on? Now
this was a rear quarter panel. And

67
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.639
did they replace They obviously did not
replace the panel. Then they bonded it.

68
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.399
Yeah, they bonded it. How
bad was the replaced I mean how

69
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:56.720
bad was the panel that was damaged? It caused it was bent? It

70
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.600
had about a four inch bend in
it. Why didn't they placed it?

71
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.040
Did you? I mean when you
usually when I have an accident or I

72
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.439
have something happened to my car,
I always say, listen, I want

73
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:13.600
a new part if it's someone else's
fault. Did you insist on new parts?

74
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.399
I mean what happened back then?
I did not insist on it.

75
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.399
But I thought, you know,
a reputed brand like Caliber, that they

76
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:27.240
would do their dual diligence. And
when did it fail? I failed in

77
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.360
twenty twenty one during the winter.
But what are we doing in twenty twenty

78
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.360
four right now? Am I have
a piece of vinyl over it just to

79
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:42.279
keep working? No? No,
I mean why are we Okay? I

80
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.639
know exactly well No, No,
I'm asking you. Why are you calling

81
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.199
me today? If it happened in
twenty twenty. I didn't hear about your

82
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.959
show. I just heard about your
show. Okay, So what were you

83
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.240
doing from then until now? Anything? Yeah? Called. I brought it

84
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.920
in. They took it for about
three four weeks and they said they would

85
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:10.160
repair it. So did it crack
like a year later? Yes? After

86
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.519
the repair it and they gave me
the warranty work, they said it was

87
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.680
covered. Brought it back in.
I thought it was. It cracked within

88
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:23.000
a year? It was? Was
it within a year? I believe so?

89
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.759
Yes, with a year and they
fixed it. No, I brought

90
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.000
it in. They said they'd fix
it. They had the truck line their

91
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.800
idol Anthor a lot and I got
a call from the service manager and he

92
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.800
said, hey, we're not going
to warranty it because you carry heavy loads.

93
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.639
It's a thirty five hundred, that's
what the truck's for. What do

94
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.879
they want it to be? A
garage queen? First of all, you

95
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.160
should never you should have never gone
for the bondo. I don't even know

96
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.680
how that happened. But it's so
far ago it's it's too late to go

97
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:57.279
back. You could have made that
company pay for a new part. What

98
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.040
year was your truck at the time, it was twenty eighteen, so it

99
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.319
was a new truck. My god, you really got screwed. Man.

100
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.160
Ye, now here's your bad news. You hear me say on the show

101
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.240
call me, don't let it fester
three oh three, seven to one three

102
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.560
talk or three oh three Martino three
oh three sixty seven eight four sixty six.

103
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.480
Don't don't wait. If you wait, it's going to be a problem.

104
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.240
You. You really can't do anything
right now. You're way beyond any

105
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:37.000
statute limitations. You're you're you're way
beyond. Okay, I mean you just

106
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.600
sat too long on this. You
can't you can't go back to them for

107
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:46.679
a You can't go back for a
five year old repair right now, I

108
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.159
went back again. No, I'm
saying, you can't do anything about it

109
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.120
unless they do it on their own. So when they wouldn't fix it back

110
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:01.960
then, what did you do?
I kept complaining they did nothing. Okay,

111
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.159
So it's been cracked the entire time. Yes, it's been cracked the

112
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:13.200
entire time. Okay, well you
need to get it fixed. But I

113
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.679
hate to give you bad news,
Tom, But why lie to you.

114
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.080
You're not going to be able to
you know, I mean, these guys,

115
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.159
it's five years ago. I mean, I don't think you can even

116
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.279
take in the court, especially because
you knew about it the whole time.

117
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:33.480
It's not like you just discovered it. They made up an excuse when they

118
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.559
told you it's because you carry a
heavy load, but you did. You

119
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:43.039
kind of it's weird. You should
you in the very beginning should have stuck

120
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.240
up for yourself and demanded new parts. Okay, you should have looked at

121
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.360
the estimate, because here's what happened. Caliber they want to spend as much

122
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.360
as they can to make that repair. I don't think they cheaped on you.

123
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.559
I think it was the other insurance
adjuster who said this is what we're

124
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:05.080
paying for. Yeah, that's my
feeling. I mean, I'm telling you,

125
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.120
man, it sucks. I don't
think there's anything you can do about

126
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.000
it. In fact, why do
I keep saying I don't think there isn't

127
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.519
anything you can do about it,
Not after all this time. No,

128
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.559

00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.799
Welcome to the show. Three oh
three seven one three talk seven one

152
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.320
three eight two five five. Lonnie's
got a transmission issue? Hey Lannie,

153
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.360
Uh, you order to rebuild transmission
from street Smart in March of twenty twenty

154
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:37.759
three. Continue please, Okay.
I went ahead and installed it, gus

155
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:45.559
truck all running, Everything was good. Uh drove the truck four till uh

156
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:50.399
February of this year. How many
miles on it? About five thousand?

157
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.120
Okay? What happened? And went
out to pull the trailer out to get

158
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.039
a load of hay, and I
wound up having leave my trailer at the

159
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:09.080
supplier's place because the transmission started slipping. And so I thought, well,

160
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.240
you know, I'm not going to
get truck and transmission and load back.

161
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.919
So I figured I'd be lucky to
get myself back. Okay, So this

162
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.240
has been a year later. Basically, your transmission is slipping. Yes,

163
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.240
okay, hold on it. And
what do they say about it? It's

164
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.200
under warranty and they'll replace it now
Okay, he did that. Okay,

165
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.080
and we did that. Okay.
Wait a minute, So now you're talking

166
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:43.759
about the second transmission. Yes,
it doesn't have a thousand miles on it,

167
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.000
and it did the same thing.
Wait a minute. Okay, so

168
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:52.519
you put a second one in.
Yes, wow, at least they sent

169
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.039
a replacement, right, but you
had to work your ass off. Yes,

170
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:03.000
it was broken ribs. Okay,
So how long did the other one

171
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.000
last? Less than a thousand miles? Yeah? Yeah? Almost? Okay,

172
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.559
So what do they say about that? Well? I called them last

173
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.399
week and they have not returned to
my call at this point. Okay,

174
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.840
did you here's what we need to
do first and foremost. Is it a

175
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.519
rebuilt transmission or is it a sham? I mean, did you look up

176
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.480
trumps a street smart idea and what
is there? What are their ratings and

177
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.360
stuff? Tell me about it from
what I've looked. I looked up trust

178
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.840
Pilot. Yeah yeah, tell me
about it. Tell me about it.

179
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:45.919
And they're a triple A plus company. Okay, so are you doing anything

180
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:52.080
wrong? No, we need to
get an expert opinion. I want to

181
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.799
talk on the air first and then
maybe have you go check out one of

182
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:05.200
our experts. Where are you located? I am in Chaparral Valley in Dertrel.

183
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.320
Okay, God, you're way the
hell out there, right out here?

184
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.960
Where you? Yeah? Yeah,
where I flew in last week?

185
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.000
Is that what you were going to
say? Uh? Huh, yeah,

186
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.639
were you there? I wasn't.
Okay, Yeah, that's a cool little

187
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:28.720
airport chopper, isn't it Choppers?
Yeah? Sorry, it is. It

188
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.799
really is chopper. This guy's from
way out there. Man. That's so.

189
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.600
Uh. You do all your own
work, Lonnie. Yeah, I

190
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.840
work on tractors. I do.
So you know what you're doing. It's

191
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.559
not like you're a shlock or something
here. Oh no, No, I

192
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.879
went to school for this when I
was in my in my early twenties.

193
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:52.879
Okay, So here's what we're gonna
do. We're going to first we need

194
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.279
to get an eyeball on it,
because I know what Street Smart's going to

195
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.000
say. Well, if they're ghosting
you, we can call them first.

196
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.120
And if they say we're going to
send another one, my obvious question would

197
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.279
be why are two of them slipping? But first let's get Here's what I

198
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.039
want to do. I want to
take one step at a time. First,

199
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.200
I want to get on Jeff Vick
just to get a general impression.

200
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:19.799
Then I want to get maybe Deputy
let's do Deputy Chopper to call down there

201
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:23.759
and say, I say, down
there, where are they out of uh

202
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:29.320
Florida? Okay, down there?
Call them and say, listen, why

203
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.840
do you think it happened twice?
Just not confront him, but just get

204
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:36.879
an idea. Then third, if
we have to, we need to get

205
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:41.279
it analyzed because these people need to
replace it. So let's first get Jeff

206
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.200
on three zero three seven to one
three eight two five five Lonnie hang on,

207
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:51.120
I'm going to mark that as pending
for Jeff and we'll see what we

208
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:57.399
can do about it. Kasin said
Kazin. I'm trying to think which what's

209
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:02.039
this problem? Was Kasin? This
is about gift cards. I'm trying to

210
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.400
find your original call. I swear
if people don't use the same name when

211
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.400
they call in, it's hard to
find. So Kasin, did you use

212
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:15.839
your name Kazin last time? No? Cousin and cousin. I'm sorry,

213
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.799

I'm sorry. I'll find the problem. Tell me about it. You know

215
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:30.799

221
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:59.680
phones, right, yes, and

222
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.039
can't wander. They already sended two
of it. One of them approve

223
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:08.000
it second goldment. I've decided,
and they kid they decline and I called

224
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:14.279
it writing, I said, I
called the Explity movement and talk to supervisor

225
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.319
there. Why was it declined?
I don't know, because they told me

226
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.240
even I called you, Oh you're
not supposed to give you two hundred dollars

227
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.920
is card. But how do you
have to give you a handred dollars card?

228
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.440
I still listen. We already negotiated
do, Jason, he already told

229
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.039
me. All right, here's what
I want to know. They're claiming you

230
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.960
were only supposed to get two hundred. You're claiming you're supposed to get four

231
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:42.559
hundred, right, yes, all
right, Now here's what I want to

232
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:49.079
know. Do you have proof that
the offer was two hundred dollars each?

233
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:53.920
Yes? To prove it? I
don't have it. But they can listen

234
00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:00.839
to the conversation because but they won't. But they won't. I don't know

235
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.400
why, because they're not going they
because they won't. They're they're lying thieves.

236
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.039
They're not the only ones. We
hear this all the time with cell

237
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.640
phones. They lie all the time. Kasan. If you don't have independent

238
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.960
proof, we're not gonna be.
They're gonna tell us they never said it.

239
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.440
I I mean, I would like
to tell them that they should make

240
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.559
good on it, but they're simply
gonna say we never had that offer.

241
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:32.319
Hold on a second, I can
look on the way back machine. When

274
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:03.200
Jeff vic Kimmer Transmission Transmissions Denver dot
COM's website. Let's talk to him

275
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.400
about this. Hey, Jeff,
what could you think of? And I'm

276
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:10.480
just gonna ask. I'm not saying
he did it, but could installation do

277
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:19.400
it? He has two different transmissions
mail ordered and he did the uh installation

278
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:25.720
himself, and both of them slipped. One slipped within five thousand miles,

279
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.640
the other one slipped within a thousand
the replacement. What do you mean by

280
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.880
slipping? By the way, Lonnie, when you're driving, do you hear

281
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.839
a rev does it? Or does
it literally slip like the clutches half in

282
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:42.200
and out? No, it literally
slipped like you're slipping a clutch. It

283
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:48.359
had reverse. They both had reverse. The first one that went out,

284
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.200
I drove probably three miles in reverse
just to get it to a safe place,

285
00:22:53.599 --> 00:23:00.400
okay, And the second, the
second I actually haven't drove it.

286
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.839
It's been parked for about a week
at this point. And I mean it

287
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:08.440
literally does not move. No,
it will not move forward. It barely

288
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:15.519
creeps forward. And if I don't
know a lot about transmissions, just enough

289
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:22.519
to be dangerous. But Jeff,
do do transmissions have the clutches built in?

290
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.640
Right? They're built in automatic clutches, right, you have clutch packed

291
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:32.319
it will apply to engage. Uh
so when he replaced them, when he

292
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:37.920
replaced his transmission with a rebuilt he
presumably got new clutches. Oh, you

293
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.640
definitely bick Okay, why would they
both? Does it sound like a clutch

294
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.279
to you? Uh? Jeff,
Well, it sounds like a possibility of

295
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.640
a clutch pack. Yeah, I
mean it's it's only and forward than the

296
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:53.720
forward clutch pack itself would be my
first thought. What else would cause line

297
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:57.799
pressure? Can cause it can cause
that and eventually end up in you know,

298
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.400
a meltdown type situation restrictions in the
cool on. What kind of vehicle

299
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:11.960
is this? It's a two thousand
and four Dodge Ram pick up five Yeah,

300
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.880
thain th recorder Dealal Yeah, it's
uh it's a forty eight R trans

301
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:25.960
okay now. And there's also a
one way check valve inside one of the

302
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.799
kool lines on that that you should
defeat when you change that out because they

303
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.680
have the tendency to get restricted and
stop cool flow. That has been removed.

304
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:41.240
That part of the warranty on the
transmission is the uh, all,

305
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:47.119
the the filler and the whole whole
system has to be clear. And well,

306
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:48.759
here's what I want to know,
Lonnie, when you sent the first

307
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.559
one back, did they find a
problem. Well, I haven't sent the

308
00:24:52.599 --> 00:25:00.279
first one back, Okay, it
did not want They actually didn't say it

309
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.839
out for about four or five weeks
because I guess they didn't have it in

310
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.799
house. I mean, so you
still have both transmissions? Yes, I

311
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:12.759
do. Okay. I'm of the
school of thought that it can't happen twice,

312
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:19.279
Okay, I just am. I
think it's something Jeff is bringing up

313
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:27.880
that's outside of that rebuilt transmission.
Jeff, how long would it take to

314
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:33.680
figure that out? You know,
a couple hours. If I were you,

315
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:38.440
bro, I'd start looking at another
cause. I mean, Jeff,

316
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.480
what is your gut? Are you? Are you thinking? I'm not saying

317
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.599
this guy's an idiot. I'm not
saying he doesn't know what he's doing at

318
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:49.720
all. I'm saying it doesn't sound
it sounds too coincidental. What about you?

319
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:53.680
Yeah, No, it definitely does. I mean, if something happened

320
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:57.480
with the vehicle that caused the first
meltdown and that hasn't been fixed, man,

321
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:03.000
it's going to cause a second one. That's exactly what And I don't

322
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.119
think Here's what I think. I
think when you install the first one,

323
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:12.720
the problem hadn't developed yet, and
it developed in five thousand miles. And

324
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:18.759
when you installed the second one,
it was already there. So it took

325
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:26.000
a thousand miles to manifest. I
mean, it just seems too coincidental.

326
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.359
And Lonnie, I know you hate
hearing that, but I'm looking up this

327
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.599
street Smart peep these treats that they
have a great reputation for rebuilt transmissions.

328
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:38.079
Yeah, that's why I went with
him. I didn't have time to build

329
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.319
it myself. And you know,
I get it. I get it,

330
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.720
hey, I would get you need
to get it checked out, bro.

331
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.079
And like I said, before,
we go after Street Smart for another tranny,

332
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.039
I would take it to Jeff and
have it looked at. I mean,

333
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.079
he can find that thing. He
can find and a heartbeat us and

334
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.960
it could be something simple which ends
up. Now you've got two transmissions.

335
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.440
Do they want the other one?
Well, yeah, I've got it set

336
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:08.200
up. You know, I told
I emailed them to uh send the pickup

337
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.519
truck out. It's here and out
of the truck. Now. I was

338
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.640
not able to take it out until
the thirties of the April, just because

339
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.920
of time constraints and just other situations
that I had to work on. Get

340
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.240
okay, listen, man, I
appreciate that you have problems. You know,

341
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:26.920
it's getting it, you know,
like like I said, the logistical

342
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:32.839
stuff right now, Jeff, fic
Kimera transmission it's three oh three six nine

343
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.960
three fourteen hundred or find your own
expert. But I would go with Jeff,

344
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.640
and I would I would, you
know, especially since he's talked to

345
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:45.240
us and I try to figure it
out that way because I am convinced it's

346
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.559
outside of that transmission. We can
have a friendly bet, how about that?

347
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:52.839
Three oh three seven one three eight
two five five. By the way,

348
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.200
in the house today we got Deputy
Chopper and we have Deputy Marvel.

349
00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:03.279
Who else is there? That it
Dollar? Okay, so we got Dollar,

350
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:08.599
we got Chopper and we got Marvel. I feel sorry for her having

351
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:14.039
to be with those two lugs.
But anyway, I digress. We got

352
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:15.640
Paul the waterman here. I got
my own lug. Here, Paul the

353
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.839
waterman for water. We have a
quick question here. They want to know

354
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:29.480
is there a system that takes care
of everything like the hardness, the forever

355
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:37.359
chemicals, the pharmaceuticals, and drinking
water. God, what's the most economical

356
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.000
to take care of all of those? So I do the whole house system.

357
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.119
We call that the Matrix with the
super duper Pooper scooper every right,

358
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.920
everything including drinking water, well,
drinking water is sil right right, the

359
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.359
point of use versus house moss.
That's the only way about the pharmaceaut So

360
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.119
no matter what you add that.
So what's the system that takes out everything

361
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:03.599
else. That's the Matrix multimedia KATIF
five activated carbon in resin. Now you're

362
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.440
still gonna beat the hell out of
competition on that all day long. Like,

363
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.079
can you give me an idea of
price range? Yeah, we're looking

364
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.319
at for Martino listeners. I can
do it for thirty nine to ninety five

365
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.480
installed. And what would a comparable
system cost with some of these other contract

366
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.680
be honest, I know what it
costs. Twelve grand. This morning I

367
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.519
talked to a customer that called the
three other companies were out. They quoted

368
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:32.759
them twelve thous No twelve grand and
then so add to that the water system

369
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.160
at the kitchen verse osmosis. Right, so we're looking about fifty five hundred

370
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:41.039
bucks for everything including drinking water,

Hey, let's talk about Kasin again,

388
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:08.960
or cousin, or however you want
to say Kasin. I looked at a

389
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:17.279
time machine. I looked back.
So here's the problem. Exfinity in that

390
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:22.599
year had three promotions. They had
a gold promotion, a Platinum promotion,

391
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:29.920
and a Diamond promotion. And I
don't know which one call kicked in when,

392
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:36.000
but the Gold promotion offered a one
hundred dollars gift card for each phone.

393
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:45.839
The Platinum promotion offered two hundred,
and the diamond offered three hundred.

394
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:51.200
But some limitations applied and all of
that. Given all of this, I

395
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:59.440
do not have enough information to fight
for you to say that they definitely offered

396
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:02.799
that to you, unless you know
you had a copy of the conversation or

397
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:07.880
something. It just says that you
and usually you have to add a line,

398
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:13.039
so it's not just substituting a phone, but adding a line. Did

399
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:16.759
you add two new lines to Exfinity? No? There, I have to

400
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:21.960
stay with my son. He did
it because I'm not any proficiental do know

401
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.160
what I'm asking is this, was
this a brand new account with Exfinity?

402
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.200
Yeah? Okay, Well if it's
a brand new account, that means you

403
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:36.640
had two new lines, two new
phones. So depending on when you did

404
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:42.519
it, you had one of these
incentives. It could have been any one

405
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.400
of them. I don't I don't
know what to say. Man, there's

406
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.839
no way I can go back and
reconstruct that deal for you. I don't

407
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.119
know. But what we can do
is, I mean we can warn others

408
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:58.519
though. You better start getting an
app on your phone where you can record

409
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:02.559
stuff or get every thing transmitted in
writing before accepting. That's all I can

410
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:07.079
say. And I'm sorry I can't
help you directly. Oh no, no,

411
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:08.720
thank you. I know you're a
good right. No, but Kasin,

412
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:13.200
thank you very much for calling it. It's it's a very good it's

413
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:16.079
something very good to bring up.
Okay. Now, I want to know,

414
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:22.240
yes, to anybody who been started
to do that, be careful because

dot com. So some of the
calls, well, one thing, we

449
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:14.800
need to talk about this idea of
waiting when you have a problem. This

450
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.159
one guy that had a rebuild transmission
in Mark, Well, no, that

451
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:21.639
he didn't wait. I'm sorry,
that's the wrong one. The guy that

452
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:24.840
went to Caliber Collision in twenty nineteen, now think about that twenty twenty one,

453
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:28.880
twenty two, twenty three, twenty
four, five years ago. Five

454
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:34.400
years ago, he said the Bondo
cracked. First of all, you should

455
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.440
have never settled for Bondo when he
did a quarter panel. The other insurance

456
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:39.920
was paying for it. They cheaped
out, but he was upset with it.

457
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:45.280
He said it happened right after the
repair, like a year later or

458
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:50.679
within a year, but they never
fixed it. Now I understand he just

459
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:52.199
found out about the show. So
he says, I'm going to call that

460
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.800
guy. That's great. I understand
that. But after five years, there's

461
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:02.440
nothing you can do. The more
there's statutes of limitation on fraud, breach

462
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:08.280
of contract. All of that suffice
it to say, there's nothing we can

463
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:14.280
do. He needs to just get
it fixed the right way. Now,

464
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:22.519
this guy ordered a transmission and both
of them started the transmission started slipping where

465
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:29.159
it won't try now, our expert
Jeff Fike Kimbra transmissiys, that's two coincidental.

466
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:34.159
I said it too, meaning that
something's got to be in common with

467
00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:37.880
both of those transmissions where it happened. The first one took a while to

468
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:40.639
happen, and then once the problem
developed with the truck, the second one

469
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:45.559
happened much sooner. The slippage Jeff
said, it could be a stuck valve

470
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:52.400
or something pinched line, something in
between, but probably not both transmissions doing

471
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:57.159
the same exact thing. I mean. And this is from a good rebuilder.

472
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:02.760
Now we're talking to Jeannette. I
bought a twenty twenty Chevy Rally Sport

473
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:13.119
at Johnson's Auto Plaza. She bought
it new and what's the problem. Well,

474
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:19.880
as I was taking it in to
get serviced, and I started noticing

475
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:27.239
changes with the truck. What does
that mean? What does that mean?

476
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:32.719
It started riding driving rougher. This
truck was like, drove like a cadillag

477
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:39.159
and then it started driving like a
PETSI can and now wait, it started

478
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:49.519
driving rough after it went in for
service. Yes, after which service I

479
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:53.400
wanted to get it torched. I
went in to get it tort down.

480
00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:00.000
I went in because mean the transmission
was slipping. I'm so hold on that

481
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:07.079
it needed to be torn down.
You took it in originally because the transmission

482
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:14.119
was slipping. Yes, okay,
got it and that was under warranty.

483
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:20.559
Yes, but they said there was
nothing wrong. I would bring it in

484
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:25.599
because of a noise, and they
said they didn't find anything at all.

485
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.559
My truck got lower. You couldn't
see me walk around the truck. The

486
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:35.199
nose of it was at the top
of my head. And now I can

487
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.079
wash the top of it. No, wait a minute, and you're telling

488
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:42.800
me when you went in and you
took your truck in, they didn't find

489
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:47.559
anything. But the appearance of your
truck changed. No, But the truck

490
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:53.639
body itself was fine. I didn't
think to look underneath. I just noticed.

491
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:59.840
I started looking at old pictures.
But when I got the truck and

492
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.960
the leaf springs, there were three
to four now and everything was rhino blasted

493
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:09.440
underneath, and I thought it didn't
look right. So what are you getting

494
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:14.840
at, Janette? Are you getting
at? They switched your truck. They

495
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.800
switched some significant parts out or switched
the truck itself. I don't know how

496
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:22.880
they did it? Well, I
don't. I No one would be insane

497
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.559
enough to do that. Do you
have a VIN number in three or four

498
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:31.519
or five places? Have you checked
your VIN numbers? Yes? I have?

499
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:37.519
It's that the no. No,
okay, let's take one thing at

500
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:39.920
a time everything I've had, Jeanette, One thing at a time. Do

501
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:45.599
you have yep? Do you have
the same VIN numbers? Yes? I

502
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.159
do. Okay, So they didn't
switch out the truck. So what did

503
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:52.559
they do? What? What is
exactly? Did they take out leaf springs?

504
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:59.480
They were taking it down to stock
and replacing other parts with used parts.

505
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:05.400
Why would they do that? I
don't know. So you're saying they

506
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:09.960
did something to your truck that changed
the entire nature of how it drives and

507
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:19.039
the suspension. Yes, how the
hell would we ever verify that? I

508
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.960
got the tires rotated. I want
to get the tires rotated at Peerless And

509
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:25.159
they said they wouldn't put tires on
it because it was to a vehicle over

510
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:30.079
two hundred thousand miles and wait,
wait, wait, curving, They said

511
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:36.440
that your vehicle looks like it has
two hundred thousand miles on it. Yep,

512
00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:39.519
the tire the yeah, when I
wanted to get the tires rotated?

513
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:44.880
What wait wait wait did they say
what did they say? Looked like it

514
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:52.519
had two hundred thousand miles on it. I don't know where the tire goes

515
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:54.400
on, where the bolts come out, where you slide the tire on the

516
00:41:54.480 --> 00:42:00.159
calipers and everything. Yeah, but
but exact, Jennette, I need you

517
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.719
to help me understand. What are
you thinking? They changed out your wheel

518
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:12.880
hubs, They changed out a great
deal underneath. Yeah, yep. Did

519
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:16.440
anyone else ever service that truck since
you've had it? And you mentioned rhino

520
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:22.400
rhino coding? Did you have rhino
coating on it before? Yes? And

521
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:28.360
a skid plate and that's not there
either, and it's all rusted and they

522
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:34.559
switched out a good part. How
long did they have your truck? One

523
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.840
time for three days, one time
for two days. And I found a

524
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:43.320
GPS on my truck as well?
Wait, you a GPS meaning you never

525
00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:49.840
had a GPS? Correct? When
you bring this up to the dealer,

526
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:53.119
what do they say? They think
you're crazy? Right? No? He

527
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:59.599
said, Well the salesperson asked me. He said, it's being taken down

528
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:01.159
the stock, isn't it? I
said, yeah, I guess that's what

529
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:06.280
they're doing. Well, you mean
it wasn't when you bought it brand new,

530
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:14.599
it was stock right as an R
and T package that had a high

531
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:20.320
performance of goass. Okay, okay, So do you have hold on?

532
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:27.480
Do you have the original Maroni sticker? Yes? Does it show those performance

533
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:32.000
parts? Yep? Okay, that's
good. Can you do me a favor

534
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:37.880
yep. I want you to take
a picture or a photo copy or some

535
00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:44.559
kind of copy of that Maroni sticker. Then I want you to make a

536
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:50.440
note of everything that was taken off. You actually have the Maroni sticker from

537
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:54.800
when you bought it, so that
proves that stuff was on there. And

538
00:43:55.079 --> 00:44:01.760
I want you to highlight for me
whatever is no longer there. I've done

539
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:07.599
all that. Can you send that
to me? Can you send that to

540
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:13.440
me? When did this happen?
This has happened over a period of the

541
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:15.800
past year and a half. Wait
a minute, because I mean they take

542
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:20.119
off stuff a little at it.
Wait wait, wait, they take stuff

543
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:23.760
off a little at a time.
I'm not certain. I don't know if

544
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:32.599
it's when I just Jeanette, why
would you keep going back there? Because

545
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:37.679
I had to argue with them.
Jeanette, I don't under I'm going to

546
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:43.519
ask another question. I'm going to
ask another question, and I promise you're

547
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:46.280
going to be upset with me,
but I don't mean it to upset you.

548
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:55.760
Okay. Have you had other weird
things happening in your life? Yeah?

549
00:44:55.760 --> 00:45:00.519
I suppose so. Okay, now, Jeanette, I'm asking this hold

550
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.320
on. I'm trying to figure out
if there's something bigger going on here,

551
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:08.800
maybe with that has nothing to do
with the car dealer. Maybe someone else

552
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:15.880
is doing What other weird things have
been going on my son's car the same

553
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:22.800
thing. It's it's totally different.
It's not an SXT. So your son's

554
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:27.400
car has been switched out to Yeah, and I bought that at Johnson's as

555
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:32.840
well. All right, what else? What else? Things missing from my

556
00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:37.000
house and things like? Okay,
hey, Jeanette, do me a favor.

557
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:40.960
Send me that sticker. Okay,
send me that Maroni sticker. Kachina,

573
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:09.960
we just had someone drop off.
I wanted to talk about the issue with

574
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:14.599
this truck, and I think you
guys know where I'm going with it.

575
00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:22.840
Right when she started talking about her
truck, changing the appearance and all that,

576
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:25.880
and then she said, it's happening
to her sons. She at least

577
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:30.440
she admitted that to me, right, because maybe she knew where I was

578
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:32.559
going. Maybe she didn't. Then
she said, weird things with things missing

579
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:39.000
from our house. Now you know, I've done enough study. I don't

580
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:43.519
know why, but I guess all
my years on the air of talking with

581
00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:49.559
people, I've done my good share
of talking to people where I kind of

582
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:57.400
I can identify certain anomalies. One
of them is paranoid schizophrenia or a depression

583
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:05.400
that causes a trust. But it
all centers around a paranoia. And those

584
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:07.119
who have listened to me for many, many years knows this. I mean,

585
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.880
we could have in a way.
No one wants to make fun of

586
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:15.039
somebody like this, right, Some
of the stories get very, very wild.

587
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:20.039
Over the years, I've sent Mark
out on stories where and by the

588
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:23.119
way Mark and Suzanne are working today, we are we have many businesses,

589
00:48:23.159 --> 00:48:27.119
and I just need to tell people
that, so they wonder where they are.

590
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.719
They think they're always on vacation and
but anyway, so Mark has gone

591
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:37.039
out on a number of these and
inevitably he'll come back and say it's one

592
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:43.519
of those, and then we nod
it's someone who is suffering from some kind

593
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:50.039
of mental illness. Now that doesn't
mean that the companies they deal with are

594
00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:54.199
one hundred percent perfect. But many
times, when problems start going wrong,

595
00:48:55.440 --> 00:49:00.360
or when excuse me, when problems
happen and things go wrong, what happens

596
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:07.039
is people start piecing that together and
then imagining even more, and they take

597
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:15.840
it personally. So there are all
kinds of people we come against that this

598
00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:21.440
happens to. And the reason I
mention this, you could end up chasing

599
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:28.800
your tail if this ever happens to
one of your loved ones. And here's

600
00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:37.239
the most phenomenal thing in the world
about these people. They can convince people,

601
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:42.400
I swear to God, they can
convince them that they are one hundred

602
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:51.199
percent on track. I know a
woman, she's perfect in every way except

603
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:57.880
had an illusion, or I call
it an illusion, that someone came in.

604
00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:02.119
This is just one of many examples
I have over the years and selectively

605
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:07.559
took a few items from a jewelry
box, not all her jewelry, not

606
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:10.840
her money, not her artwork,
not her cash, nothing else, nothing,

607
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:16.079
just selectively took a few items out
of a jewelry box. And they

608
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:20.199
did it over a period of time. So they'd come in one night and

609
00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:22.519
take one thing, come in the
next night, take something else to come

610
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:27.199
in the next night. Now,
when you try to reason with people and

611
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:30.800
say well, why would they do
that, they always have reasoning. Well,

612
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:32.800
they don't want to be caught.
They thought they would do this,

613
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:36.719
and we know this. We know
a real thief is going to come in

614
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:39.840
and take out a big sack,
maybe have that mask on like we see

615
00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:44.320
in the cartoons, and they're going
to just start heaping things into a bag

616
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.360
and leaving. And they and she
said, well, he wouldn't do that

617
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:50.880
because it'd wake me up. So
you're saying, he comes in when you're

618
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:54.800
asleep, takes all that time and
effort to come in when you're asleep,

619
00:50:54.880 --> 00:50:59.840
even though you leave the house much
of the time, but he waits until

620
00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:04.440
you asleep, comes in while you're
asleep, and then takes things selectively instead

621
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:07.440
of once he gets in there and
he doesn't wake you up, why not

622
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:13.079
just use that opportunity to take everything
because you're sleeping. Why take a chance

623
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:16.719
that he can do that three or
four nights in a row, Now you

624
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:22.039
would think that normally this people would
just discount this and say she either misplaced

625
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:28.360
it or whatever, or she's imagining
it whatever. But you would be shocked

626
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:34.480
at how many people this person got
to believe her. You'd be shocked saying,

627
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:37.079
well, I think this did it. I think the neighbor did.

628
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:39.880
I think that that so and so
did it. I think there's somebody or

629
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:45.800
a landscape or whatever. Now that's
just one example. We have had so

630
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:51.039
many people over the years, and
I'll tell you why. Because they're listening

631
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:53.239
to the show and they figure,
oh, this guy, this guy cares

632
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:55.880
about people. He's gonna help,
he's gonna kick some ass, he's gonna

633
00:51:55.920 --> 00:52:00.679
find out who's really doing this.
I'm gonna show everyone and you know,

634
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:06.360
this is really what's happening. And
they call me. I'm neutral to them.

635
00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:10.039
I'm not dangerous. I don't think
they're crazy. I don't think you

636
00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:14.880
know, I'm not their relative.
I'm not and especially I'm not taking part

637
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:22.320
in it, according to them.
So that's what happens. Now, Julia,

638
00:52:22.639 --> 00:52:30.280
what's going on? Hi? Julia
Supers in the self checkout. Yeah,

639
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:35.360
I was done checking out and then
it told me I needed a service.

640
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:38.480
So I'm thinking, Okay, I
didn't do anything. But the gal

641
00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:43.840
comes over and what happens is they
have a new camera setup now, and

642
00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:49.400
my purse was wide open, sitting
in my basket, and the camera showed

643
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:53.960
a picture of it on the screen, the checkout screen for everybody to see

644
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:58.519
what's in my purse, and she
had to come over and look in it

645
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:04.440
and make sure that it was a
goods or something. And I'm thinking that's

646
00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:09.280
kind of wrong, you know what, though in a way I know exactly

647
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:15.159
what you're saying. In another way, I feel so badly for these stores.

648
00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:20.559
I mean, there is so much
thievery and shoplifting going on. So

649
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:27.320
this camera is trained in such a
way that it's looking just for purses or

650
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:30.280
do you think it's just trained on
the cart? No, I think it's

651
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:34.480
trained on the cart. In My
purse happen to be there wide open because

652
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:37.079
I had taken my walla. But
you know, I have a concealed carry.

653
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:39.280
If I had my gun in there
or something, what are they going

654
00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:44.119
to do if somebody monitoring that,
or they would have called police, probably

655
00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:47.239
thinking you're a weirdo. I can
see both sides of that, but I

656
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:51.679
just want people to know that that's
a new system in my king supers.

657
00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:55.639
Now, so listen, let me
ask you something. That your purse was

658
00:53:55.719 --> 00:54:00.280
wide open. They could see that
you didn't put anything in it. Why

659
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:02.679
did they have to look at your
purse? Oh no, they had to

660
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:07.159
look at it on the screen where
you check out. But she didn't go

661
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:09.199
through your purse, did she No, she did not go through. That

662
00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:13.559
would be an illegal search. Yeah, okay, good, Oh good,

663
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:15.199
she said, Oh, it's just
your purse. She said, it's a

664
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:20.000
new camera system we have and it
looks oh I see. So so it

665
00:54:20.199 --> 00:54:24.760
triggered them to look further because they
saw an open purse. Well, they

666
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:29.480
saw something in the cart. Yeah, and they don't want let me get

667
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:31.159
this straight, Julie, because I
don't understand, they don't want to see

668
00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:37.360
anything in the cart until after you're
done. Yeah, once you check out.

669
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:38.800
If there's still something in your cart, no matter what it is,

670
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:43.920
oh I get it after you check
out. They want to make sure.

671
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:47.159
Okay, all right, getting this? Well, who knows what kind of

672
00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:52.000
algorithms they have right now. I
mean that's kind of weird, but yeah,

673
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:55.119
it's just something for people to know. If you have something like that

674
00:54:55.239 --> 00:55:00.239
in your purse you know your can
still carry or something you know you such

675
00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:02.519
a purser or don't take it in. Let me ask you something. You

676
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:07.039
have a concealed carry, right,
I do? I do? How long

677
00:55:07.079 --> 00:55:13.639
have you had it? Uh?
Four years? And I'm just curious more

678
00:55:13.719 --> 00:55:15.960
than anything when I talk to people
every day, what was the reason you

679
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:21.119
got it? You know, because
I'm getting older and I take mine in

680
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:23.400
the carnal if I go out of
town. I don't carry it around town.

681
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:29.199
It's only for if I go out
of town because I go by myself

682
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:34.079
a lot. Yeah, so's and
you know the way I understand it.

683
00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:38.239
And I don't mean you probably took
the classes, but I heard that even

684
00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:43.599
with a concealed carry, there are
certain places you're not allowed to take the

685
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:46.480
gun, right if they have a
policy against it, Like you can't go

686
00:55:46.599 --> 00:55:52.599
into a school with a concealed carry
right, No federal building, no banks,

687
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:58.760
yes okay, so yeah, so
okay? And schools, federal buildings,

688
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:05.280
banks. What about if a store
or a private company says no firearms,

689
00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:08.519
then you don't take it in and
it'll be posted on the door somewhere

690
00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:14.639
before you go in the facility and
you honor all of those requests. Yes,

691
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:17.840
okay, I was always curious about
that. What if you go to

692
00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:28.360
another state, Well, Wyoming's pretty
wide open. I know in Alaska they're

693
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:32.599
wide open too. But if you
should pass a policeman you know, or

694
00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:38.280
whatever, you signal to them that
you've got a gun in your in your

695
00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:43.800
on your person. It's mandatory.
So if you walk, wait, wait,

696
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:46.440
if you if you come across a
law enforcement or just see one,

697
00:56:47.840 --> 00:56:51.920
if you well, no, we
walked into a store. My brother had

698
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:55.000
his consiled carry on and a sheriff
walked by and he pointed to him and

699
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:59.440
then pointed to his gun. So
the guy knew he had a concealed carry

700
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:04.360
because up in Alaska, lots of
times private people have to help them out

701
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.400
because it's such a wide open area, you know, for them to cover.

702
00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:14.679
Wow. Okay, thank you Julia
for all that information. Deputy Chopper.

703
00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:21.719
Were you going to say states that
border Colorado will maybe honor Colorado's CCW

704
00:57:22.800 --> 00:57:28.039
and that's about as good as it
gets. Did you keep your CCW?

705
00:57:29.320 --> 00:57:34.480
I have a federal retired one.
Yes, So is that different when you're

706
00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:38.679
a cop. Yeah, it's good
in all the States. New York may

707
00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:45.320
give you some trouble with it,
but it's legal. You can't travel with

708
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:47.920
it, like on a plane,
obviously if you go through the procedures.

709
00:57:49.079 --> 00:57:52.079
Yes, you can not on the
plane. You could put in your luggage.

710
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:58.440
Okay, Okay, So what about
regular police officers? Obviously, when

711
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:02.239
they're on duty, transporting or doing
something. Are they allowed to bring firearms

712
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:07.280
on a plane if they're going to
maybe transport a prisoner? Yes, But

713
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:13.639
otherwise Noah has to go in the
luggage. Okay. Thanks? Three oh

that, and we got a lot

724
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:10.920
to talk about with that. And
I want to talk to Mike now about

725
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:16.360
concealed Carrie. Question he has.
Maybe Chopper can answer that ex cop or

726
00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:22.880
former cop. Go ahead, Mike, Hi, Tom, I wanted to

727
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.760
give you some better information about concealed
Carrie. Oh, okay, go ahead.

728
00:59:25.880 --> 00:59:32.000
Go to a website called Usconcealedcarry dot
Com. It will show you a

729
00:59:32.199 --> 00:59:42.159
map called the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Map
and gun lows and basically a Colorado permit

730
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:46.639
is good for probably four fists of
the United States, except for the West

731
00:59:46.719 --> 00:59:52.039
coast Minnesota, Illinois, New York, and the states around New York.

732
00:59:54.039 --> 01:00:00.760
Okay. And as far as a
business having a sign up you know,

733
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:08.599
no weapons, I ignore those because
if I'm caught with my weapon in their

734
01:00:08.679 --> 01:00:14.639
business, it's nothing more than a
trespass ticket saying don't come back here,

735
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:22.800
okay, and my right to self
defense trumps their sign Tom. Okay,

736
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:34.519
so how long have you been carrying? Eight years? Okay? You know

737
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:43.119
what was what precipitated it? For
you. I used to work at public

738
01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:52.960
safety and as a public servant without
a weapon on duty, I have taken

739
01:00:52.199 --> 01:01:02.079
so many illegal firearms off of convicted
felons that it taught me to go get

740
01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:08.519
my permit. You know what always
fascinated me is where they advertise this is

741
01:01:08.559 --> 01:01:14.840
a no gun zone or gun free
zone, as if they as if they

742
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:19.920
feel that's going to make them safe. I've always been fascinated by that,

743
01:01:20.199 --> 01:01:22.920
Like, even if it is gun
free, don't you when you announce that,

744
01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:30.480
you're saying to a criminal, come
and get us exactly? I mean.

745
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:34.519
I've often found it for someone to
go through the trouble and time to

746
01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:39.400
legally possess a firearm and carry it, they would, in my opinion,

747
01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:45.119
be the least problem and the biggest. It's not all the people with concealed

748
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:51.400
carries walking in and out of buildings
that you have to worry about. It's

749
01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:55.639
all the people that are breaking laws, and I often found it fascinating.

750
01:01:57.039 --> 01:02:02.320
In fact, I also found it
fascinating that the crime rate, the true

751
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:08.480
crime rates among those who legally possess
a firearm, are next to nothing.

752
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:16.800
And despite all the hype about oh, just call the police, the situation

753
01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:21.960
is going to be over by the
time you get off the phone with their

754
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:27.320
dispatcher. The always I think that
guy with the gun is a good guy

755
01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:31.480
with a gun period. Now Now
i think to the defense of people who

756
01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:37.320
are upset or don't want concealed carries, I'm thinking, here's what I'm thinking,

757
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:43.760
that perhaps they feel they will be
misused in time of crisis or instead

758
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:46.800
of just you know, walking away. Who knows. I'm just I'm saying

759
01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:52.679
the stats don't show that, but
I'm positive that's probably why they feel they're

760
01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:55.840
bad things to have. But I
don't want to you know, it's it's

761
01:02:55.880 --> 01:03:00.039
a tough discussion to get into.
It's really tough to get into because there

762
01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:07.840
are so many people who just believe
that, you know, no guns,

763
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:12.000
no guns, no guns, and
advertise no guns and we'll all be safer

764
01:03:12.079 --> 01:03:15.280
for it. And I'm not.
You know, I know that there are

765
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:21.519
nuts out there, but I have
never understood why everyone is a nut or

766
01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:25.679
everyone you know, why do we
assume that even the criminals are going to

767
01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:30.360
follow any of the laws. It's
this flies in the face of logic to

768
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:36.920
me. Tom Anyway, question for
Mike, I don't know if he's still

769
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:43.360
on there. Yes, Mike,
would you agree if you are carrying a

770
01:03:43.480 --> 01:03:49.079
concealed weapon properly, then no one
will know if you're violating that store sign

771
01:03:49.239 --> 01:03:58.519
or anything. Absolutely. I carry
a subcompact ten round semi automatic and nobody

772
01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:03.559
knows it's there. I didn't have
my hand in the pocket of my zippered

773
01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:10.599
hoodie and be able to shoot through
that pocket and take care of a situation.

774
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:15.760
Well, I hope you never had
to. No, not yet.

775
01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:21.519
Okay, And let me ask you
something. Having that does it make you

776
01:04:21.920 --> 01:04:25.880
want to does it give you an
itchy finger? I mean, this is

777
01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:30.159
what people think. This is what
their fear is. Yeah. No,

778
01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:34.239
I'll tell you what, Tom,
It's the exact opposite. But you do

779
01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:40.599
know that's what people think, right, Oh, absolutely, because they're uninformed

780
01:04:41.159 --> 01:04:44.639
and they're the ones that are going
to be the victims because they don't have

781
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:55.599
enough courage to carry and information and
education to carry. I hope I never

782
01:04:55.840 --> 01:05:00.320
have to pull this weapon because I'm
going to spend the rest of the day

783
01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:04.719
with the cops, fill it out
reports, and if I do have to

784
01:05:04.880 --> 01:05:11.360
use it. There's both the criminal
side of the situation and the civil side

785
01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:16.079
of the situation because somebody in the
family's probably going to come after me or

786
01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:21.800
hurting or killing little baby Bob that
never did anything wrong. By the way,

787
01:05:21.920 --> 01:05:26.239
how does insurance work on that?
I mean, I wonder how your

788
01:05:26.320 --> 01:05:31.039
liability or homeowners or anything. Do
they ask about concealed carries? No,

789
01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:34.360
they don't, But that's an important
point that I want to bring up.

790
01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:47.000
There are several niche insurance companies out
there where you can buy insurance or concealed

791
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:50.639
cherry. And what I mean by
that is, if you have to pull

792
01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:56.920
your gun, they give you an
emergency number, and you call that number

793
01:05:57.519 --> 01:06:02.639
and a firearm Right's attorney will answer
the phone and we'll meet you at the

question. Go ahead, Ben Ah, Yes, Tom My questions for Chopper.

805
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:04.880
I don't know if you can help
me. I do have a carried

806
01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:11.760
conceal permit and I had a company
that if I had to use my weapon,

807
01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:15.119
I could call him for legal advice. And I lost a dang card.

808
01:07:15.199 --> 01:07:20.360
Now I'm wondering if he can tell
me how to recover one. You

809
01:07:20.440 --> 01:07:25.039
mean it was an organization? Was
it sponsored by the NRA? Do you

810
01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:30.599
know? Yes? It was.
I took a class down at I'm thinking

811
01:07:30.599 --> 01:07:36.440
it's in a Rappa Hole County or
Littleton County. And you pay like I

812
01:07:36.519 --> 01:07:40.760
think one hundred and ten dollars a
year. And if you need legal advice,

813
01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:47.039
you had a card to call this
number, Chopper. Have you ever

814
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:50.760
heard of it? Oh? Yes, I have heard of it, and

815
01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:58.920
I want to apologize to people.
My CCW is from law enforcement experience.

816
01:07:59.320 --> 01:08:08.599
I really an expert on CCW for
the civilian carry. Okay, the there

817
01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:15.479
is a US Concealed Carry association that
I just found that offers free guidance and

818
01:08:15.720 --> 01:08:25.600
information. It's called the US Concealed
Carry Association. Oh. I think that'll

819
01:08:25.680 --> 01:08:30.720
do it. So just look that
up. And what they do is they

820
01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:38.840
have firearms law attorneys who specialize in
gun laws, and they do free consultations

821
01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:45.159

824
01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:01.600
Yeah. People probably haven't heard to
this, but the night of the Aurora

825
01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:06.560
Theater shooting, there was another guy
with a gun in a movie theater.

826
01:09:06.920 --> 01:09:14.439

we do it with just about anything we

843
01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:44.399
even neighbor versus neighbor, trouble at
work, career, whatever it is.

844
01:10:44.520 --> 01:10:48.800
We've been discussing problems for forty five
years in Denver and more than that

845
01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:56.000
elsewhere, and what we do is
look for a solution. We really do,

846
01:10:56.920 --> 01:11:00.319
no matter what the problem. Right
now, I want to welcome Paul

847
01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:04.800
the Waterman, and that's waterpros dot
net. We were talking about water,

848
01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:10.439
and the reason I'm a big bugaboo
about water is because it's the number one

849
01:11:10.520 --> 01:11:15.079
nutrient in our body and then food. We live longer without food than we

850
01:11:15.159 --> 01:11:21.159
will without water, and water is
essential. Also, water can be destructive

851
01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:26.960
because of what it carries, and
there's no way with the way we're living

852
01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:32.760
right now. Whether you're into ecology
or not, we all know that there

853
01:11:32.840 --> 01:11:38.159
are pollutants in air and water,
and we adapt to them to a certain

854
01:11:38.239 --> 01:11:45.880
extent. But nanoplastics now are being
found in everything, along with forever chemicals

855
01:11:46.319 --> 01:11:51.199
and pharmaceuticals. So those are the
three big things, right We're talking about

856
01:11:53.760 --> 01:12:04.479
forever chemicals pfas nanoplastics, and you
have basically pharmaceuticals. Those are nasty,

857
01:12:05.039 --> 01:12:10.239
so you need different systems to filter
out different things. But you can get

858
01:12:10.279 --> 01:12:15.439
them all at the kitchen sink really
inexpensively for drinking water. But I want

859
01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:17.720
to know this, if you had
to pick one of those, Okay,

860
01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:21.079
there's a fourth thing, hardness,
But correct me if I'm wrong, Paul.

861
01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:26.600
The hardness part of water doesn't isn't
a health concern. It's mainly a

862
01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:30.399
plumbing concern, a skin concern,
you know, like skin feeling and health,

863
01:12:30.439 --> 01:12:35.039
and maybe clothing laundry. What do
you think the hardness part is the

864
01:12:35.159 --> 01:12:40.880
least dangerous is what I'm thinking.
It's fullyast dangerous. But were you aware

865
01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:45.359
that hard water causes kidney stones and
gallstones? Wow? By drinking it?

866
01:12:45.600 --> 01:12:49.640
By drinking it? Yeah, because
it's an inorganic that our body doesn't absorb.

867
01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:54.159
We had a family friend flush it
though, well it flushes through,

868
01:12:54.199 --> 01:12:56.319
but it can build up in our
body. We had a family friend that

869
01:12:56.720 --> 01:13:00.800
has calcium build up around her heart
valve, and the doctor on hard water.

870
01:13:00.479 --> 01:13:03.279
I had a grandfather that had kidney
stones all the time and he had

871
01:13:03.319 --> 01:13:08.000
to drink distilled water. This is
back in the seventies, before the reverse

872
01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:10.359
house most of the technology occur.
I never thought of that. Okay,

873
01:13:10.439 --> 01:13:15.159
so hard water as far as the
accumulation, but the actual chemical makeup of

874
01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:17.319
hard water in and of itself,
it's not It's calcium carbonate, right.

875
01:13:17.399 --> 01:13:20.600
Our body just doesn't absorb it.
It's an organic mineral that our body does

876
01:13:20.720 --> 01:13:25.680
not absorb. And that's the big
misconception. People think we got to leave

877
01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:29.039
the healthy minerals and water. Well, there's no minerals in water that is

878
01:13:29.119 --> 01:13:32.479
beneficial to our body. Okay,
So then next would be the forever chemicals.

879
01:13:32.560 --> 01:13:35.920
Those that's the biggest one, and
a lot of people believe that's why

880
01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:40.640
we have so much cancer in this
Well, there's a community in Texas,

881
01:13:41.079 --> 01:13:44.520
you know, waste waste treatment plants
take the sewage, they sell it,

882
01:13:44.680 --> 01:13:47.880
and companies make fertilizer out of it. There's a community in Texas where that

883
01:13:48.000 --> 01:13:54.439
fertilizer contaminated or rancher's farm and it's
spread to others. And so those ferber

884
01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:59.159
chemicals ruined. You know, there's
fish pond and you know they say affected

885
01:13:59.199 --> 01:14:04.560
livestock. Now, forever chemicals are
cause of many problems. What about the

886
01:14:04.640 --> 01:14:10.760
plastics themselves, What did they actually
do? Microplastics a lot of fish to

887
01:14:10.840 --> 01:14:14.279
stake that for food. They can
carry carcinogens, they can carry disease,

888
01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:19.119
they can carry bacteria. Plastics don't
break down and last year University, well

889
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:21.680
they break down, they don't dissolve. Well, they don't disappear. That's

890
01:14:21.720 --> 01:14:25.039
what I meant, right right,
right, thank you. So they get

891
01:14:25.079 --> 01:14:28.680
smaller and smaller and small smaller.
Yeah, and so they they're in our

892
01:14:28.800 --> 01:14:32.000
environment and then it gets in their
penetrators. Sell you know, Doc pointed

893
01:14:32.039 --> 01:14:35.800
out, you know last time,
I think he found the article where they

894
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:39.319
found it in the arteries, you
know, the heart, and they found

895
01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:42.479
it it's in the placenta. And
I've got you know, research where you

896
01:14:42.560 --> 01:14:45.640
know they can get into, you
know, our cellular structure. Now,

897
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:48.159
not all water contains all things,
well some of them do. But what

898
01:14:48.279 --> 01:14:50.760
I mean is you can get a
free water test. So what do you

899
01:14:50.880 --> 01:14:55.119
test for? So we tests for
hardness, the basic rightness, right,

900
01:14:55.159 --> 01:14:59.359
we total chlorine. Chlorine content is
another one time that it's in the hot

901
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:02.520
water. I know they're trying to
help us. Well, it's it's it's

902
01:15:02.560 --> 01:15:08.840
a disinfectant to kill the bacteria and
viruses. But it's it's not it's not

903
01:15:09.159 --> 01:15:12.920
healthy, and it's it's in the
steam when we take a shower too.

904
01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:16.760
How do you stand on fluoride?
Florid is is natural in the water and

905
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:21.159
so natural natural florid. We have
natural fluoride in Colorado of water? What

906
01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:26.000
yeah, absolutely natural natural? Yeah, it's it's it's a metal. It's

907
01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:29.279
in the mountains and come on,
honest, the goodness it is. What

908
01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:35.039
about bottle water, Well, it's
bottle water, the Independent Bottle Water Association.

909
01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:40.960
Right, they made me mad.
Remember that nanoplastics were found a bottle

910
01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:44.920
of water. So instead of the
bottle water industry pledging to do better in

911
01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:47.840
the filtration method, what they is. What they said is it's unproven science.

912
01:15:47.920 --> 01:15:54.119
Drink more water. So it's hard
to trust anything today, all right,

913
01:15:54.319 --> 01:15:58.119
So uh, let's go to Candy
now another will change shop it if

914
01:15:58.199 --> 01:16:00.039
that's waterpros dot net three or three
A six two five five five four a

915
01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:04.560
system for basically whatever you need based
on a free water test, Candy.

916
01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:11.600
What's happening with Child Protective Services?
Candy? Hi? Yes, I am

917
01:16:11.680 --> 01:16:14.319
an active listener and I just want
to say thank you. I like the

918
01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:17.800
show a lot. Thank you,
And I understand I don't have necessarily a

919
01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:24.159
consumer concern, but I am handling
handle a lot of things. What's going

920
01:16:24.239 --> 01:16:30.439
on with Child Protective Services? I? I feel like they are failing to

921
01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:38.279
protect my son there? What happened? Failing in what way? What do

922
01:16:38.359 --> 01:16:42.760
you mean by failing to protect your
son? Where is your son? He's

923
01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:48.600
with me now? And what happened
was in August his dad made a false

924
01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:56.159
sexual allegation. This is the fourth
one again someone in my family. Okay,

925
01:16:56.239 --> 01:16:59.960
So let me get this strange.
You're obviously not married to the biology

926
01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:06.119
dad. Correct, you're divorced.
We're not divorced. We were never married.

927
01:17:06.439 --> 01:17:11.479
Okay. God. Now as a
result of that, you split custody

928
01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:19.680
essentially, yes, okay, So
okay, And here's what I want to

929
01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:24.399
know. So obviously, on the
surface, it looks like he's trying to

930
01:17:24.439 --> 01:17:29.760
make things rough for you. So
he gets full custody, correct, Okay,

931
01:17:30.399 --> 01:17:34.439
Okay, So what is going on? What kind of accusations did he

932
01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:43.560
make? I'm recently been with my
fiance for a year, and he told

933
01:17:43.680 --> 01:17:49.079
my son to lie to the police
and in a forensic interview as well,

934
01:17:50.319 --> 01:17:59.600
that my fiance sexually abused Angelo,
my son. So a false report was

935
01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:04.760
okay, Here's what I want to
know. Was he arrested? Was he

936
01:18:04.920 --> 01:18:14.039
investigated? That's the problem they are
giving the detective on the case that I

937
01:18:14.399 --> 01:18:16.560
you know, there was a first
detective. Now she retired, so it's

938
01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:20.800
handed off to a new detective.
I told him I have a video.

939
01:18:21.600 --> 01:18:26.720
Angelo has come forth with we always
knew the truth, but we never we

940
01:18:26.800 --> 01:18:30.199
were told not to hold on,
just get to the part. We're not

941
01:18:30.279 --> 01:18:31.960
going to try the case here.
Here's what I want to know. He

942
01:18:32.239 --> 01:18:36.439
was accused by the son. But
you're saying the father urged him to do

943
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:44.439
it. What was the result of
the investigation. So they came, they

944
01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:47.119
took my son. Actually he was
really close and getting what he wanted.

945
01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:53.119
They did take my son. I
told them, missus domestic abuse. I

946
01:18:53.239 --> 01:18:57.279
can prove it. I will.
Josh has his own place, he can

947
01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:00.439
go to his place. You don't
need to take my son. This is

948
01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:03.920
exactly what he wants. They didn't
listen, and they took him. I

949
01:19:04.119 --> 01:19:09.439
ended up getting. In order for
them to take your son. Mm hmm,

950
01:19:10.319 --> 01:19:14.439
they have to have at least an
inkling that something is going wrong.

951
01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:19.840
It was a forensic interview where my
son was coached to say that. Well,

952
01:19:20.079 --> 01:19:25.239
you're saying he was coached. You're
saying he was coached. How do

953
01:19:25.319 --> 01:19:30.560
you know he was coached because he
just recently had another forensic interview a couple

954
01:19:30.600 --> 01:19:34.600
of weeks ago where he recanted and
said I was told to say this from

955
01:19:34.680 --> 01:19:41.840
my dad because he doesn't like mom's
fiance. Okay, so your son finally

956
01:19:41.880 --> 01:19:45.199
admitted. I said that, yes, so they dropped all charges. Is

957
01:19:45.279 --> 01:19:51.159
that right? There was never a
charge because we complied completely, and they

958
01:19:53.039 --> 01:19:58.319
they tried to say intimidate and say
well we could charge you and to my

959
01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:00.199
fiance and he said, I can
do a lit detector whatever you need me

960
01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:02.840
to do. But what am I
being charged for? So where does it

961
01:20:02.960 --> 01:20:09.760
stand today? Today? The case
is active and open and why would it

962
01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:14.359
be active and open if the son
admitted to being set up by the dad

963
01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:19.159
because he's the detective said specifically,
I'm not sure if we're going to close

964
01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:24.319
it and find it as unfounded or
just leave it again and it's unfounded.

965
01:20:25.000 --> 01:20:30.760
Okay, Candy, Candy, you
mentioned you started out saying Child Protective Services

966
01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:34.159
is not protecting your son, and
it sounds to me like they're bending over

967
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:39.239
backwards to check out whether this is
true or not. What what? I

968
01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:45.159
don't think there's a problem. What
this was me that was doing everything.

969
01:20:45.359 --> 01:20:50.880
Child Protective Services made it worse.
They took my son and did exactly what.

970
01:20:51.479 --> 01:20:56.039
Okay, where did they take your
Where did they place your son?

971
01:20:56.159 --> 01:21:00.640
They gave me they gave them to
his dad. Okay, and you understand

972
01:21:00.720 --> 01:21:09.359
why, right? Essentially, I
do understand, but I had proof that

973
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:14.840
this was the fourth false allegation.
Well, that's what a hearing is for.

974
01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:21.399
But there's no hearing. There's I
mean hearing in regards to parenting and

975
01:21:21.439 --> 01:21:26.079
things. Well, no, no, I'm talking about pleas charge. Where

976
01:21:26.319 --> 01:21:30.199
is it going to go? How
long do they keep this open? Right?

977
01:21:30.399 --> 01:21:32.840
Well, this is what the detective
told me. Historically, I don't

978
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:38.640
usually see the other party getting charged
for a false report. I just don't.

979
01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:41.680
It just normally doesn't work out that
way. Right, that's right,

980
01:21:42.159 --> 01:21:47.439
because here's why. Here's why.
Because they want to encourage people to report

981
01:21:47.560 --> 01:21:54.359
if they think something's wrong. Now, if someone maliciously files a false report,

982
01:21:54.439 --> 01:21:57.680
that's different. But they're not going
to go that far. Yes,

983
01:21:58.159 --> 01:22:00.479
the dad's going to get the dad. I'll be convinced them that he had

984
01:22:00.560 --> 01:22:09.159
true concern. I'm not agreeing with
it. I'm just saying that this is

985
01:22:09.319 --> 01:22:15.880
unfortunate that this happens. But we
have situations where it's done. It's a

986
01:22:15.000 --> 01:22:18.520
false report, but they don't really
know it's false. They just think it's

987
01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:23.399
real. I mean, where are
we going with this whole discussion? You're

988
01:22:23.479 --> 01:22:28.560
upset because they followed procedure. And
investigated and took him out of your home.

989
01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:31.479
Now, are you saying that your
home, your your son was actually

990
01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:39.039
in danger with the other guy?
No, no, this is a this

991
01:22:39.239 --> 01:22:44.600
is Are you saying, though you
said, they did the opposite of protecting

992
01:22:44.720 --> 01:22:48.720
your son, they took your son
out of your home and put it in

993
01:22:48.960 --> 01:22:57.319
his home. Are you saying that
the biological dad's home is dangerous? Correct?

994
01:22:57.520 --> 01:23:01.720
I do? Because why is it
dangerous? When Angelo, the one

995
01:23:01.800 --> 01:23:09.199
of the reports made, DHS investigated
us both and Angelo made a concern to

996
01:23:09.319 --> 01:23:12.640
DHS saying his grandma hits him,
his grandma is mean to him, she

997
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:15.880
drinks, she does drugs, okay, But they didn't sing to hold that.

998
01:23:16.439 --> 01:23:24.079
So you feel that why would they
favor the biological dad. I don't

999
01:23:24.079 --> 01:23:27.760
think they're favoring I just don't.
I think what they're doing, well,

1000
01:23:27.840 --> 01:23:32.079
it is that they see sexual allegation, but they don't see this is the

1001
01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:38.640
fourth time it's never been founded.
And every time we investigate, the son

1002
01:23:38.720 --> 01:23:42.720
has more concern on the father's side. But then why is nothing Why am

1003
01:23:42.760 --> 01:23:46.399
I not getting hurt? Why is
he not being also held accountable to?

1004
01:23:47.439 --> 01:23:51.399
You know, your son said these
things, so you know where's what are

1005
01:23:51.439 --> 01:23:55.520
you going to do about that?
It kind of seems to be okay,

1006
01:23:55.600 --> 01:23:59.600
well, we didn't find a bruise
on the child, so we'll just leave

1007
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:02.960
it at that. There's nothing.
There's nothing stating that he actually did.

1008
01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:09.600
Did they talk to your son about
the grandma beating him? Yes, they

1009
01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:13.119
did alone. I had to leave
the room and I had and they did

1010
01:24:13.199 --> 01:24:18.399
not find it. They did not
find it. What credible? Correct?

1011
01:24:18.479 --> 01:24:25.520
Because he didn't have a bruise or
any any markings of getting hit. Do

1012
01:24:25.680 --> 01:24:31.840
you believe that these people at social
services would purposely overlook physical abuse if they

1013
01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:39.760
thought it was going on. I
don't know, honestly, I just I

1014
01:24:39.840 --> 01:24:45.119
don't know. Andy. Do you
feel do you feel that these investigators at

1015
01:24:45.199 --> 01:24:53.560
social services or child protective services would
purposely overlook the idea that your son is

1016
01:24:53.680 --> 01:24:59.600
being abused by his grandmother just to
favor the dad over you? No?

1017
01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:04.720
No, then why can't you accept
that they're doing the best job they can

1018
01:25:06.319 --> 01:25:13.239
because I don't think they truly have
done that. Have you asked for an

1019
01:25:13.319 --> 01:25:18.800
independent child family investigator? That will
be something I do consider. But what

1020
01:25:19.199 --> 01:25:26.479
if my son was told to say
very nasty things, specific sexual things?

1021
01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:32.119
Done to him and they don't find
that somehow child abuse. That No,

1022
01:25:32.279 --> 01:25:36.600
it would be it would be how
old is your son? He's eight years

1023
01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:43.119
old? And your son told the
investigators that he was coached as to what

1024
01:25:43.359 --> 01:25:47.399
to say. No, no,
he never said that he was he was

1025
01:25:47.680 --> 01:25:51.880
told to say what his dad told
him to say. When you're what I'm

1026
01:25:51.880 --> 01:25:57.039
asking you this did your son?
If we talk to your son right now,

1027
01:25:57.479 --> 01:26:01.600
would he say Dad told me to
say these things to get the guy

1028
01:26:01.720 --> 01:26:05.680
in trouble? It? Yes,
And that's what he did with the second

1029
01:26:05.960 --> 01:26:12.079
interview, because in the second interview, what did they do as a result

1030
01:26:12.199 --> 01:26:17.000
of that? He said, he's
talking to the DA But majority of the

1031
01:26:17.119 --> 01:26:21.439
time, nothing will really be done, but the fact that it'll get closed

1032
01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:26.279
and it was it was unfounded because
it was a false report, and that's

1033
01:26:26.319 --> 01:26:30.279
what should happen. It should be
closed. And now what you need to

1034
01:26:30.399 --> 01:26:34.359
do is seek or that actually the
other guy. He needs to seek civil

1035
01:26:34.479 --> 01:26:43.039
damages privately against the biological dad.
That's the way it works. The authorities

1036
01:26:43.079 --> 01:26:45.079
are not going to do that.
They're not going to get involved like that.

1037
01:26:45.479 --> 01:26:49.279
The only reason they stepped in is
for the safety of the child.

1038
01:26:49.760 --> 01:26:54.000
Now, if it goes beyond that
and they feel like, well, the

1039
01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:58.119
dad coached him. They don't look
at that as being unsafe. They look

1040
01:26:58.199 --> 01:27:01.960
at it as being a squabble.
It's not the same as if somebody is

1041
01:27:02.079 --> 01:27:08.159
abusing your child physically. So I
know it doesn't sound right to you and

1042
01:27:08.359 --> 01:27:13.079
you feel they should go after this
dad. They're not going to. They're

1043
01:27:13.119 --> 01:27:15.319
not going to. I mean I
could lie to you and say they should

1044
01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:18.159
and they will, but they won't. So if you want the truth,

1045
01:27:18.199 --> 01:27:23.239
Candy, they're never going to go
after him because they're not sure if he

1046
01:27:23.399 --> 01:27:27.000
was coached or not. They're not
sure if you coach the kid or if

1047
01:27:27.039 --> 01:27:30.880
he coached the kid. All they're
sure about now is possibly there was no

1048
01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:36.439
sexual abuse. So it will be
closed as unfounded. And here's the rub,

1049
01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:41.600
if it happens again, they will
investigate it again. They do not

1050
01:27:41.760 --> 01:27:45.600
look at the past accusations and say, well, three of them were false,

1051
01:27:45.880 --> 01:27:49.000
we're not going to investigate the fourth
one or four of them were false,

1052
01:27:49.239 --> 01:27:54.079
and we're not going to investigate the
fifth one. That is the problem,

1053
01:27:54.359 --> 01:28:00.560
but that is reality. They do
not discount those kinds of avcuuations.

1054
01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:03.920
It is up that to that man. To stick up for himself and the

1055
01:28:04.119 --> 01:28:12.319
defamation against him by suing that father, that biological father in civil court and

three seven one three eight two five

1065
01:29:09.279 --> 01:29:13.439
Go ahead, Miles. What's your
question? Hey Tom, thanks for

1066
01:29:13.560 --> 01:29:19.760
taking my call. Yes, my
sister just passed away and I wasn't sure

1067
01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:26.319
all the steps that I need to
take. She didn't have any property.

1068
01:29:27.600 --> 01:29:31.239
She does have a car which is
broken down, not worth much, but

1069
01:29:31.359 --> 01:29:38.119
it is titled in her name.
And she does have about twenty one thousand

1070
01:29:38.119 --> 01:29:41.640
dollars in the bank. And I'm
not sure if I have to go through.

1071
01:29:41.880 --> 01:29:46.439
Are you, first of all,
are you her only relative? No,

1072
01:29:47.199 --> 01:29:53.600
I've got my mother and father.
They're they're elderly, they're ninety and

1073
01:29:53.680 --> 01:29:57.560
eighty seven. And did she have
a will or any kind of any kind

1074
01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:03.920
of stuff at all. Well,
then you don't make the choice. Well,

1075
01:30:05.039 --> 01:30:09.720
but yeah, that's that's what I'm
trying to find out. Yeah,

1076
01:30:09.840 --> 01:30:14.520
you don't make the choice. The
choice is made for you so by the

1077
01:30:14.640 --> 01:30:21.359
state by state law. So now
you don't have to open probate because you

1078
01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:28.159
don't have enough to open probate.
So if she has a lot of bills

1079
01:30:28.199 --> 01:30:30.119
that are going to outnumber the assets, you may just want to walk away

1080
01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:40.119
from it all. But you've not
that much, probably two thousand in bills,

1081
01:30:40.720 --> 01:30:44.960
okay, And and that's it.
And I know my parents could use

1082
01:30:45.520 --> 01:30:49.399
this money as a week to pay
for her her funeral and that kind of

1083
01:30:49.479 --> 01:30:55.039
thing. Okay, Well, her
parents are going to be first in line

1084
01:30:55.079 --> 01:31:01.079
anyway, right, And I have
poa for them. I have a medical

1085
01:31:01.159 --> 01:31:05.600
and so you do a small state
affidavit and be done with it. The

1086
01:31:05.760 --> 01:31:10.119
smallest state affidavit. Yes, right, in the small state. Do that.

1087
01:31:11.319 --> 01:31:15.359
You download the form and fill it
out or call an attorney. And

1088
01:31:15.960 --> 01:31:17.800
really, I mean, I mean
that sincerely. That's all you have to

1089
01:31:17.880 --> 01:31:21.840
do. You need a death certificate? Did you get that? Uh?

1090
01:31:23.640 --> 01:31:27.039
She just passed yesterday, So,
oh my god, I'm so sorry.

1091
01:31:27.119 --> 01:31:31.239
What happened? Thanks? Well,
she had an a chronic condition and she

1092
01:31:31.439 --> 01:31:38.399
finally finally succumbed to it. Man, did you guys? So you guys

1093
01:31:38.479 --> 01:31:46.000
never talked about that? Well,
it kind of she had cirrhosis and okay,

1094
01:31:46.119 --> 01:31:49.680
it was frinny, but then she
had an episode. It went very

1095
01:31:49.880 --> 01:31:57.119
quickly before she passed, so it
wasn't really lucid when she was in the

1096
01:31:57.159 --> 01:32:00.800
hospital. So we could talk about
things like this, I get it.

1097
01:32:00.920 --> 01:32:06.439
Ses she have a drinking problem?
Yeah, it was okay, So listen

1098
01:32:06.560 --> 01:32:14.199
carefully, right, you look up
in Colorado the intestacy law. Okay,

1099
01:32:15.479 --> 01:32:23.680
what's it called in testacy and in
test go I N T E S T

1100
01:32:24.000 --> 01:32:29.720
in test a c A c Y
in TESTACYE laws. Okay, okay.

1101
01:32:30.159 --> 01:32:35.760
Now, according to in general,
in testacy laws, when someone dies without

1102
01:32:35.800 --> 01:32:45.319
a will, everything goes to their
spouse or parents. First the spouse,

1103
01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:51.359
then the parents. Okay, children, okay, so the parents. That's

1104
01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:58.760
it done. You stop right there. If in fact she did not have

1105
01:32:58.880 --> 01:33:02.199
a spouse or parents, goes to
her children, and then so on and

1106
01:33:02.319 --> 01:33:08.319
so forth. But basically you don't
have to worry about that right now,

1107
01:33:09.119 --> 01:33:15.159
it goes to her parents. Okay, But I how do I but I

1108
01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:23.039
have to get it vowing right or
or do they automatically do that? Nothing

1109
01:33:23.159 --> 01:33:26.920
is automatic? Nothing? Okay,
I didn't think so, So what you

1110
01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:34.239
do is you get a small estate
affidavit okay, and you fill it out

1111
01:33:34.319 --> 01:33:41.840
your first no, first a death
certificates okay, and then and then fill

1112
01:33:41.920 --> 01:33:45.079
that out okay. Well, then
when you fill it out with the death

1113
01:33:45.199 --> 01:33:50.159
certificate, the parents are going to
be the ones that inherit everything because of

1114
01:33:50.319 --> 01:33:58.079
no no will. Now, you
could always call Dad Mackenzie at Mackenzie Law

1115
01:33:58.399 --> 01:34:01.039
and just ask a question. I
mean, he's gonna he'll answer a question

1116
01:34:01.159 --> 01:34:05.560

You can't just keep calling him back and

1117
01:34:05.640 --> 01:34:10.479
doing that. But he's a great
guy and he has a small law firm

1118
01:34:10.640 --> 01:34:15.119

you know what we could do too,

1120
01:34:25.079 --> 01:34:28.760
because hey, here's what we do. Let's get him on. Because what

1121
01:34:28.880 --> 01:34:34.159
you have to do is again a
small estate AFFI David, and basically that's

1122
01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:41.640
in place of probate. Okay.
Then you appoint a personal representative or the

1123
01:34:41.720 --> 01:34:45.359
court will and you can be the
personal representative. You can do it,

1124
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:51.680
anybody can. And then then all
you do is distribute the assets. But

1125
01:34:51.840 --> 01:34:56.680
after you pay debts, but you'll
be in charge of that. So first

King Supers? Gary? Yeah, thanks

1147
01:36:45.520 --> 01:36:54.119
for taking my golf. Yes,
sir, I have a stroke in August

1148
01:36:54.279 --> 01:36:57.079
or at the end of July.
And how are you doing? By the

1149
01:36:57.119 --> 01:37:02.159
way, I'm recovering did you have
anything not work? Still? Yeah,

1150
01:37:02.560 --> 01:37:09.399
I can't walk very good. So
I started. I'm improving, but I

1151
01:37:09.520 --> 01:37:14.119
still i'm, you know, still
having a lot of trouble. And I

1152
01:37:14.319 --> 01:37:19.520
signed up for King Super's Boost,
the program which gives you free grocery delivery.

1153
01:37:20.319 --> 01:37:27.159
Yeah, and it's really been a
godsend. And I also have used

1154
01:37:27.199 --> 01:37:30.680
the grocery pickup when I have been
able to get into the car. It

1155
01:37:30.800 --> 01:37:34.199
takes me a while, but then
you just drive up and get their groceries.

1156
01:37:34.680 --> 01:37:39.199
So I recently went to do another, you know, weekly order,

1157
01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:47.359
and I got this error code and
it wouldn't let me place the order.

1158
01:37:47.600 --> 01:37:55.520
So I called now, is this
Boost program only for disabled? No,

1159
01:37:55.720 --> 01:37:59.319
it's for anybody. It's just that
they started it, I believe. Wait

1160
01:37:59.359 --> 01:38:03.640
a minute, it's for anyone.
For free delivery. Yeah, you pay,

1161
01:38:04.000 --> 01:38:09.439
you pay a certain amount of money
a year. Oh, they're like

1162
01:38:09.560 --> 01:38:14.399
fifty nine dollars a year for grocery
delivery. Oh I see. And so

1163
01:38:14.640 --> 01:38:18.039
so you pay one scene, no
matter how much you need it. Yeah,

1164
01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:27.800
and then you just order your you
know, your food online and and

1165
01:38:27.880 --> 01:38:30.319
then they delivered. Either you can
have the fifty nine dollars plan or the

1166
01:38:30.439 --> 01:38:34.760
ninety nine dollars plan which gives you
food the same day I have the fifty

1167
01:38:34.880 --> 01:38:43.560
nine dollars plant it okay? And
uh so that I went to the place

1168
01:38:43.680 --> 01:38:45.800
order, it wouldn't let me.
It was giving me an error code.

1169
01:38:45.960 --> 01:38:49.239
Yeah, customer service and said,
you know, why can't I Yeah,

1170
01:38:49.399 --> 01:38:54.399
you know why am I getting this
error code? And they were investigating and

1171
01:38:54.479 --> 01:38:57.479
they came back and they said,
well, you're you're and it was showing

1172
01:38:57.560 --> 01:39:02.199
them. It was no longer showing
that I had boost on the portal or

1173
01:39:02.279 --> 01:39:06.119
whatever you know when you go online
to sign in. It was showing that

1174
01:39:06.279 --> 01:39:11.159
I didn't have it. Did you
have two accounts by and by chance go

1175
01:39:11.399 --> 01:39:16.720
to the wrong one? No,
I don't know. And it was showing

1176
01:39:16.800 --> 01:39:20.399
on their side that I have boosts, but on my side it wasn't showing

1177
01:39:20.479 --> 01:39:25.359
it. But then they did a
little more investigating the customer service and they

1178
01:39:25.439 --> 01:39:31.800
came back and they said, your
account with King Supers has been blocked.

1179
01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:41.359
You can no longer do either online
delivery or okay. Why was your account

1180
01:39:41.399 --> 01:39:45.359
blocked? Gary? There's a couple
reasons why they're saying. One is they're

1181
01:39:45.399 --> 01:39:49.479
saying that I had some kind of
a dispute in March. But I've never

1182
01:39:49.600 --> 01:39:55.439
disputed any charges. I checked my
credit card. They said that my bank

1183
01:39:56.359 --> 01:40:00.319
disputed a charge or my credit card. I called my credit card because I

1184
01:40:00.399 --> 01:40:03.199
didn't. So wait a minute.
So even your account was supposedly locked,

1185
01:40:03.239 --> 01:40:08.800
but you were able to log in. I can log in. It won't

1186
01:40:08.840 --> 01:40:12.560
let but it won't let me order
anything. You know, I can pick

1187
01:40:12.640 --> 01:40:15.520
all the product, all the things
and everything, but then when I go

1188
01:40:15.680 --> 01:40:20.640
to uh check out so to speak, okay, gives me this error code

1189
01:40:21.319 --> 01:40:27.039
and there's no way they can fix
it. Well, they're they're they're looking

1190
01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:30.439
into it or whatever. But they
told me the other reason why. But

1191
01:40:30.560 --> 01:40:34.439
they've they've now told me they're they're
escalating it to I get it. What's

1192
01:40:34.479 --> 01:40:40.840
the other reason they gave you?
Because they're saying I had too many refunds?

1193
01:40:41.520 --> 01:40:45.479
Now they they give you this option
of requesting a refund, like if

1194
01:40:45.520 --> 01:40:49.479
you're missing items, and that's probably
what it is. Did you have a

1195
01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:56.640
lot of refunds. I've had a
few few refunds, but it's been you

1196
01:40:56.720 --> 01:41:01.640
know. They did send me an
email saying that we've noticed you've had severally

1197
01:41:01.800 --> 01:41:05.640
refunds for not liking products and that
you right, Hold on a second and

you're troubleshooter three o three seven one three

1206
01:42:00.000 --> 01:42:03.600
oh seven one three eight two five
five. So one thing I do want

1207
01:42:03.640 --> 01:42:11.840
to mention Gary. The Boost program
and any program that stores or places offer,

1208
01:42:11.960 --> 01:42:15.800
including banks and all kinds of places. They're all privileges, they're not

1209
01:42:16.039 --> 01:42:25.079
rights, and unfortunately there are some
that have glitches in them, and you're

1210
01:42:25.119 --> 01:42:30.000
not the only one. I looked
it up and there was a program I

1211
01:42:30.119 --> 01:42:32.479
could not take part in one time. It had nothing to do with King

1212
01:42:32.560 --> 01:42:40.560
Soupers, but it was something else
and I absolutely positively could not take part

1213
01:42:40.640 --> 01:42:45.880
in it because it never ever ever
worked on my phone, And they threw

1214
01:42:45.960 --> 01:42:48.319
up their hands and said, well, we're sorry, we can't offer that.

1215
01:42:49.079 --> 01:42:55.640
So it might come down to this
that if you disagree with them on

1216
01:42:55.760 --> 01:43:00.640
the amount of returns and they simply
their algorithm locked you out. The sad

1217
01:43:00.800 --> 01:43:05.319
fact is, because I'm a real
big believer in just telling it like it

1218
01:43:05.439 --> 01:43:10.319
is rather than giving false hope,
there's a possibility you just can't do the

1219
01:43:10.399 --> 01:43:18.399
program. Something that they're telling me
that my returns or that I don't like

1220
01:43:18.560 --> 01:43:23.560
products. Basically in one of the
in the email they sent me in tell

1221
01:43:23.600 --> 01:43:27.640
me what returns? Why did you
have your returns? And by the way,

1222
01:43:27.800 --> 01:43:30.560
you can't go by what they say
to you. They're looking for an

1223
01:43:30.680 --> 01:43:38.760
answer to make go away. They're
looking for an answer to justify what the

1224
01:43:38.880 --> 01:43:45.039
program is doing. They're not looking
for a solution because they're not King Super's

1225
01:43:45.079 --> 01:43:50.560
people. They're the technology people.
You're making the mistake of thinking it's the

1241
01:45:15.520 --> 01:45:17.039
want to go right to the phones. People who've been waiting. It's been

1242
01:45:17.159 --> 01:45:20.640
very busy. Gary had an issue
with King Soopers. I looked it up.

1243
01:45:21.319 --> 01:45:26.840
Many people are having the same issue. By the way, I don't

1244
01:45:26.840 --> 01:45:30.880
know how to put this, but
for some reason it happens. And I

1245
01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:34.479
think it has to do with algorithms. That's a word we don't really understand.

1246
01:45:34.520 --> 01:45:40.560
But here's what an algorithm is.
It analyzes data and then acts accordingly.

1247
01:45:40.720 --> 01:45:45.680
That's really what an algorithm does.
It traces, analyzes, and reacts.

1248
01:45:45.199 --> 01:45:49.239
Sometimes it doesn't react, it just
well it does. It's like the

1249
01:45:49.359 --> 01:45:54.880
thing that sends you certain posts on
Facebook, or certain Instagram people, or

1250
01:45:54.960 --> 01:46:00.479
certain TikTok videos. Anyway, this
algorithm looks at accounts and by the way,

1251
01:46:00.760 --> 01:46:04.640
what they do is turn you off
that they think there's either fraud,

1252
01:46:05.479 --> 01:46:11.159
nonpayment or too many returns. Now
banks do it too when it comes to

1253
01:46:11.279 --> 01:46:15.239
fraudulent activity on accounts. And here's
what we have found. People don't and

1254
01:46:15.560 --> 01:46:18.960
Gary, this is the big disconnect. And again this may not help you

1255
01:46:19.159 --> 01:46:25.880
directly, but it certainly will help
you understand. When we have technology on

1256
01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:30.359
one end and the provider on the
other, we often think we're talking to

1257
01:46:30.600 --> 01:46:36.199
the provider when we are not.
The provider uses the technology to do the

1258
01:46:36.319 --> 01:46:42.760
providing. If you are in their
Boost program. King Soopers would love nothing

1259
01:46:42.920 --> 01:46:48.479
more then to keep selling you stuff
through Boost. But once the boost technology

1260
01:46:48.600 --> 01:46:53.399
part of it discerns that there is
too many this or too many that,

1261
01:46:53.600 --> 01:46:58.359
or just makes up a decision that
has nothing to do with reality. It

1262
01:46:58.520 --> 01:47:02.520
has to do with a blind algorithm. For example, you might say,

1263
01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:08.600
well, I didn't return stuff because
I wasn't happy. I returned it because

1264
01:47:08.640 --> 01:47:11.279
I didn't get it, or I
returned it for this reason, or I

1265
01:47:11.359 --> 01:47:15.359
didn't have this many returns I had
this many. You're talking to people who

1266
01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:19.960
don't care. You're talking to people
who can't even change what King Supers does

1267
01:47:20.079 --> 01:47:27.560
because it's not King Supers, it's
the technology, whereas King Supers is a

1268
01:47:27.640 --> 01:47:30.840
whole different ballgame. Now, what
you really need is someone at Kingsupers who

1269
01:47:30.880 --> 01:47:36.359
would care enough to actually interface with
the technology and undo the screw up.

1270
01:47:36.760 --> 01:47:41.279
This happens often at a bank.
If you can't log in, the log

1271
01:47:41.359 --> 01:47:45.640
in people say, well, you
know, your user name was hacked,

1272
01:47:45.720 --> 01:47:47.000
and you have to go to the
bank and say, look, do you

1273
01:47:47.039 --> 01:47:49.800
want me to be a customer or
not, and they have to talk to

1274
01:47:49.920 --> 01:47:56.119
each other. So we get these
problems all the time, and it's about

1275
01:47:56.199 --> 01:48:00.520
time I explain it to people so
they don't feel like we're still walling.

1276
01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:04.640
But Gary, here's the real fact
or the real situation, real life situation.

1277
01:48:05.439 --> 01:48:11.600
If you can't get the algorithm people
or the technology people to communicate with

1278
01:48:11.720 --> 01:48:16.239
the King Super's people, they're not
going to coordinate to solve this problem for

1279
01:48:16.399 --> 01:48:21.600
you. You may have to open
a new account. I actually tried that

1280
01:48:21.720 --> 01:48:27.479
and it won't It must know it
no what it knows Gary. What it

1281
01:48:27.640 --> 01:48:33.920
knows Gary, is your email or
your phone number. Unfortunately I had to

1282
01:48:34.079 --> 01:48:39.840
do this before too. You have
to open up a new account and maybe

1283
01:48:39.920 --> 01:48:43.720
not use the exact name, use
your initial. I know it's a pain

1284
01:48:43.800 --> 01:48:46.399
in the ass, but you called
for an answer, and that's your quickest

1285
01:48:46.520 --> 01:48:50.840
route to get solved. Use another
email, even if you have to go

1286
01:48:51.000 --> 01:48:56.760
establish a Gmail address and do a
variation of your name, and you should

1287
01:48:56.840 --> 01:49:01.359
be able to the people on Customers
of Us. They seem to be trying

1288
01:49:01.439 --> 01:49:05.640
to help, but I'm never getting
any calls back because they don't know how

1289
01:49:05.720 --> 01:49:11.319
to help. Do you want Do
you understand that King Soupers has no idea

1290
01:49:11.399 --> 01:49:17.159
what algorithms are instituted by the technology
company. Sure, when they signed up

1291
01:49:17.199 --> 01:49:21.119
for this program, they were interviewed
about what do you want this program to

1292
01:49:21.239 --> 01:49:25.079
do? And well, we don't
want people with a lot of returns,

1293
01:49:25.159 --> 01:49:28.600
and we don't want people that do
this, and if somebody disputes too many

1294
01:49:28.720 --> 01:49:31.680
charges, we don't want them and
they automatically lock you out. They don't

1295
01:49:31.720 --> 01:49:34.920
think, well, Gary had a
good reason for this one. Let's keep

1296
01:49:34.960 --> 01:49:41.600
them on. It's not that personal. You're nobody to them. So when

1297
01:49:41.640 --> 01:49:45.840
you talk to customer service, they
don't know what the truth is. They

1298
01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:50.880
don't know what to do. I
mean, it sounds silly to talk about

1299
01:49:50.880 --> 01:49:58.399
stuff like this, but hey,
they don't frustrating. Have you more than

1300
01:49:58.479 --> 01:50:02.680
frustrating? Have you thought about opening
a new account? Did you try to

1301
01:50:02.800 --> 01:50:09.359
use your same email? No,
I use a different email. I change

1302
01:50:09.600 --> 01:50:13.840
I changed my name a little bit, just because well, then there's no

1303
01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:16.359
reason you shouldn't be able to open
an account. So why couldn't you open

1304
01:50:16.359 --> 01:50:19.520
an account? They might be going
off with a service address there, Tom,

1305
01:50:20.399 --> 01:50:25.239
I don't know if they care about
the address dragon, because people change

1306
01:50:25.239 --> 01:50:29.000
addresses. They don't black. I
don't think they black all an address going

1307
01:50:29.079 --> 01:50:34.720
off with the IP address, Well, change your EP I guess I could.

1308
01:50:35.279 --> 01:50:39.199
I mean their dynamic you can change
it. I mean you might be

1309
01:50:39.359 --> 01:50:43.439
stuck on one. But unless you
need a static IP, just change it.

1310
01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:47.760
Looks and Gary, I hate to
look at what can I tell you

1311
01:50:48.199 --> 01:50:51.239
we're not going to be We're not. If we call King Supers, they're

1312
01:50:51.279 --> 01:50:55.479
going to tell us the same thing
they told you. They don't but they

1313
01:50:55.560 --> 01:51:00.680
don't know what to do. They
don't talk to their technology people as a

1314
01:51:00.159 --> 01:51:06.640
as a food service company that wants
to retain a customer. So, by

1315
01:51:06.720 --> 01:51:11.399
the way, how many returns have
you had? I'm just curious. I

1316
01:51:11.479 --> 01:51:14.479
mean I don't know how. I
don't know how many I've had. I'd

1317
01:51:14.520 --> 01:51:16.159
have to sit and can well,
then you must have had a few.

1318
01:51:17.119 --> 01:51:20.840
I've had a few, but it's
all been either missing items or they didn't

1319
01:51:20.880 --> 01:51:29.640
get the see see Gary's trying to
justify to an algorithm. They've made a

1320
01:51:29.680 --> 01:51:30.960
lot. There's been a lot of
mistakes. I mean, like I said,

1321
01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:34.359
that's right, God said, but
there's a lot of mistakes. And

1322
01:51:34.520 --> 01:51:39.439
can I ask you something? Why
do you care about that? I mean,

1323
01:51:40.159 --> 01:51:42.479
I just go on when I need
stuff. Why do you have to

1324
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:48.359
be part of this yearly annual subscription. I normally I would be going into

1325
01:51:48.399 --> 01:51:51.079
the store because I had this stroke. I don't mean going into the store.

1326
01:51:51.239 --> 01:51:55.199
Gary, I understand you had a
stroke. What I'm talking about is

1327
01:51:55.720 --> 01:51:59.000
why don't you simply go on and
have it delivered when you need it.

1328
01:52:02.560 --> 01:52:06.039
There's no subscription, nothing needed.
You go to, you log in,

1329
01:52:06.239 --> 01:52:10.119
you buy your stuff, and you
check the problem. They won't even let

1330
01:52:10.199 --> 01:52:13.880
me. They won't even let me
do grocery pickup now without you, So

1331
01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:16.479
they they've pretty much turned off the
Boost, but they want to. They

1332
01:52:16.560 --> 01:52:19.760
told me the only way I can
shop at Supers now is to physically go

1333
01:52:19.920 --> 01:52:23.720
into a store. Okay, they
don't want you as a I can't.

1334
01:52:25.039 --> 01:52:30.239
I can't use either the grocery pickup
or the And it really is kind of

1335
01:52:30.399 --> 01:52:33.640
not even because I was using the
grocery pickup before I sign up for Boost.

1336
01:52:34.760 --> 01:52:36.800
But it was such a hassle.
We'd get in and out of the

1337
01:52:36.840 --> 01:52:39.840
car and everything. I thought,
Well, the Boost, you don't have

1338
01:52:39.960 --> 01:52:43.720
to do pickup. Do you understand? Let me let me explain this.

1339
01:52:44.119 --> 01:52:48.119
Do you understand there's an alternative between
picking up and Boost? Did you know

1340
01:52:48.239 --> 01:52:51.199
that? Sure? Yeah? And
you know what that is, that's going

1341
01:52:51.279 --> 01:52:58.239
online and ordering groceries to be delivered
random, nilly willy willy nilly. You

1342
01:52:58.399 --> 01:53:01.840
don't have to have boost is so
I'm not sure they may block you out

1343
01:53:01.880 --> 01:53:05.720
of that too. In other words, if you just log, your boost

1344
01:53:05.840 --> 01:53:10.279
is gone. But if you just
open an account and go on and have

1345
01:53:10.720 --> 01:53:15.399
how often do you have deliveries?
Once a week? Okay, I see

1346
01:53:15.399 --> 01:53:19.319
where that so? So I pay
about nine bucks for delivery, and if

1347
01:53:19.359 --> 01:53:21.880
you did that every week, I
could see where that could be a painted.

1348
01:53:23.000 --> 01:53:26.760
That's why you did the subscription thing? Yeah, well, and had

1349
01:53:26.800 --> 01:53:30.359
started off bad too, because they
were offering half off on the subscription at

1350
01:53:30.479 --> 01:53:34.159
Christmas time, and then when they
charged my card, they charged me for

1351
01:53:34.239 --> 01:53:38.920
the Pulse full price, so I
had to and they never did credit my

1352
01:53:39.000 --> 01:53:42.920
account for you know, it was
supposed to be twenty nine ninety five,

1353
01:53:43.000 --> 01:53:45.079
not fifty nine ninety And what did
you do about that? Did you keep

1354
01:53:45.159 --> 01:53:49.319
the fifty nine or did you get
it for half price? I tried to

1355
01:53:49.399 --> 01:53:53.319
get it credited, and they told
me they were credited, they were going

1356
01:53:53.399 --> 01:53:56.560
to credit it, but they never
did. Okay, how did you try

1357
01:53:56.600 --> 01:54:00.640
to get it credited? I called
the customer service and said, hey,

1358
01:54:00.760 --> 01:54:03.880
you know, I just looked at
my credit card statement. You've charged me

1359
01:54:03.960 --> 01:54:11.000
the full price and I had a
digital coupon for a half price. But

1360
01:54:11.159 --> 01:54:14.399
they didn't know anything about They were
like, they might have listed that as

1361
01:54:14.479 --> 01:54:19.640
a contesting a charge as well.
Probably. Yeah, yeah, I'm telling

1362
01:54:19.680 --> 01:54:24.479
you credit my account for it.
It doesn't matter you made the inquiry.

1363
01:54:24.520 --> 01:54:27.640
You're a pain in the ass,
is what they're gary. I'm kidding.

1364
01:54:27.720 --> 01:54:30.239
But do me a favor. Well, yeah, go and sign up for

1365
01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:32.800

can't sign up for a new account.

1366
01:54:32.800 --> 01:54:38.720
I refuse if you use a totally
new email and a totally new you know,

1367
01:54:39.119 --> 01:54:42.319
they don't even ask for a phone
number, do they. If they

1368
01:54:42.399 --> 01:54:45.680
do, get a Google phone number. I swear to you you can do

1378
01:55:31.359 --> 01:55:35.560
All right, Dan Mackenzie, I
want to take our estate planning expert attorney

1379
01:55:36.000 --> 01:55:41.039
and Miles has a very simple question. Dan, And even though we've gone

1380
01:55:41.079 --> 01:55:43.399
over in the past, I wanted
to make sure he gets the right information.

1381
01:55:43.520 --> 01:55:48.840
His sister died yesterday, literally yesterday. She has very little estate,

1382
01:55:49.039 --> 01:55:54.319
okay, basically a couple grand in
debts. She has about twenty something in

1383
01:55:54.359 --> 01:55:58.359
the bank and nothing to speak of, a broken down car, no real

1384
01:55:58.520 --> 01:56:02.920
estate. He wants to know there's
no will either. His parents are still

1385
01:56:02.960 --> 01:56:11.039
alive. What I told him is
his parents will automatically get everything with no

1386
01:56:11.920 --> 01:56:16.000
will, and that he can go
get a death certificate and a small and

1387
01:56:16.319 --> 01:56:21.760
fill out a small estate affidavit.
What am I missing? That is correct?

1388
01:56:23.079 --> 01:56:26.199
To get the death certificate, He's
probably going to need to show some

1389
01:56:26.359 --> 01:56:30.720
proof of shared parents with the with
the deceased sister, So sometimes it's a

1390
01:56:30.720 --> 01:56:34.000
little bit easier than others. They
really lock those down unfortunately. So what

1391
01:56:34.039 --> 01:56:38.960
does that mean? What do you
mean, show what some sort of evidence

1392
01:56:39.039 --> 01:56:42.640
that he and his sister had the
same parents. Oh, okay, there

1393
01:56:42.720 --> 01:56:45.640
brother and sister, right, So
okay, siblings are entitled the death certificates.

1394
01:56:45.680 --> 01:56:48.479
That might be the hardest part of
this whole thing, but they are

1395
01:56:48.680 --> 01:56:53.039
entitled the desert. But they need
to provide some proof that they really are

1396
01:56:53.119 --> 01:56:57.439
brother and sister. So there is
an application to apply to get a death

1397
01:56:57.439 --> 01:57:00.920
certificate. It explains what he would
need to do that. Then the smallest

1398
01:57:00.920 --> 01:57:05.520
state affidavit. Can he do that
on behalf of his parents and get everything

1399
01:57:05.600 --> 01:57:10.720
for them? Yeah, there's two
different form There's two different tables on a

1400
01:57:10.760 --> 01:57:14.279
small state affidavit. One is like
listing the person who is coming around to

1401
01:57:14.359 --> 01:57:15.880
get the stuff, and then the
other is listing the people who are entitled

1402
01:57:15.920 --> 01:57:19.279
to receive it. So it would
have him on one and then them on

1403
01:57:19.359 --> 01:57:24.039
the other. But you are correct
that under the affidavit he is swearing to

1404
01:57:24.199 --> 01:57:26.840
whoever is given him property that he's
going to get it to the right people,

1405
01:57:26.960 --> 01:57:31.039
and the right people are the parents. So then after he fills that

1406
01:57:31.159 --> 01:57:34.239
out and it's blessed, he can
go to the bink and actually get the

1407
01:57:34.319 --> 01:57:40.680
money. Correct. Yep, yep. Okay, Now, Miles, do

1408
01:57:40.720 --> 01:57:45.479
you have any specific questions? Do
you think it would be easier for me?

1409
01:57:45.000 --> 01:57:53.000
I do have a state planning lawyer
that did my parents will in our

1410
01:57:53.079 --> 01:57:57.159
POAs. Do you think it would
probably be best for me to have them

1411
01:57:57.239 --> 01:58:01.560
do it? And it sounds like
it's a pretty simple process, Dan,

1412
01:58:01.680 --> 01:58:05.640
what does this normally cost in time? A few hours of an attorney's time

1413
01:58:05.760 --> 01:58:10.039
or what? Yeah, I mean
that's you know, but that could be

1414
01:58:10.119 --> 01:58:14.079
over a thousand bucks right to do
that. So, I mean, you

1415
01:58:14.159 --> 01:58:16.680
know they could do it, we
could do it, but you could give

1416
01:58:16.720 --> 01:58:18.680
it a shot first. I mean, it's like if the bank gives you

1417
01:58:18.720 --> 01:58:21.920
the money, then you know,
there's not really anything to be concerned about.

1418
01:58:21.960 --> 01:58:26.640
They might if they're putting up barriers
or asking for more information than you

1419
01:58:26.720 --> 01:58:29.000
able to give, and then you
might want to bring an attorney in,

1420
01:58:29.119 --> 01:58:31.439
but you could give it a shot. It's designed to be something that people

1421
01:58:31.479 --> 01:58:40.079
can do without an attorney, including
the vehicle. The vehicle, the DMV

1422
01:58:40.199 --> 01:58:44.199
is surprisingly cooperative in these situations.
They have their own version of the smallest

1423
01:58:44.199 --> 01:58:46.439
State Affidavit, so you'd actually do
one with them, And if you go

1424
01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:50.800
online and probably google Colorado DMVs Smallest
State Affidavit, it will come up.

1425
01:58:51.359 --> 01:58:56.600
It is specific to them, and
then there's a more general smalle State Affidavit

1426
01:58:56.680 --> 01:59:00.800
for everything else. What do you
think else? Sounds good? You'd try

1427
01:59:00.840 --> 01:59:03.439
it on your own first, and
if you ever need to get a hold

1428
01:59:03.520 --> 01:59:12.000
of mackenzie, it's co Plans dot
co or eight three three co plans eight

1429
01:59:12.079 --> 01:59:15.800
three three co plans. Thank you
for calling three O three seven to one

1430
01:59:15.960 --> 01:59:19.039
three talk seven one three eight two
five five. Now I want to get

1431
01:59:19.119 --> 01:59:21.800
to uh, let's see. Oh
yeah, Jennifer, go ahead. Gap

1432
01:59:21.880 --> 01:59:27.600
insurance? What's going on? Jennifer? Hey Tom, Hi, what's going

1433
01:59:27.640 --> 01:59:32.960
on? Jennifer? Well, I
am it's just taking forever for GAP insurance

1434
01:59:33.039 --> 01:59:36.960
to pay on a total car.
Okay, So if you had a total

1435
01:59:38.079 --> 01:59:40.880
car with GAP on it, and
what was the gap? How much was

1436
01:59:40.960 --> 01:59:45.439
the gap? In other words,
how much are you waiting on? Well,

1437
01:59:45.560 --> 01:59:55.239
the payoff at the time of the
the payoff after a regular insurance paid.

1438
01:59:55.920 --> 01:59:58.680
Now, what what was your loan? Yeah? Yeah, what was

1439
01:59:58.800 --> 02:00:02.920
the balance left on your loan after
your regular insurance paid the value of the

1440
02:00:03.000 --> 02:00:11.760
car somewhere over a little over seven
thousand waiting, you had that much gap.

1441
02:00:11.840 --> 02:00:15.680
You had a seven thousand dollars gap
after your insurance paid. Yes,

1442
02:00:15.920 --> 02:00:21.800
because there was another car loan rolled
into it at the time of purchase.

1443
02:00:21.920 --> 02:00:26.960
Well, they don't pay for that. They only pay for a true gap.

1444
02:00:27.119 --> 02:00:29.479
Now, let me explain how that
works. A lot of people think

1445
02:00:30.359 --> 02:00:35.000
gap insurance is stupid insurance, meaning
that if I overpaid for a car time

1446
02:00:35.119 --> 02:00:39.600
and time again and kept rolling in
the old car to the new ones,

1447
02:00:40.079 --> 02:00:43.359
I am going to be covered and
you're not going to be covered. See

1448
02:00:43.720 --> 02:00:50.800
that is the biggest misunderstanding with gap
insurance. Gap will pay for that particular

1449
02:00:51.039 --> 02:00:59.560
car purchased at whatever price you purchased
it and minus whatever. Okay, it'll

1450
02:00:59.840 --> 02:01:04.439
but it doesn't pay for previous purchases. And that's really what happens with the

1451
02:01:04.600 --> 02:01:11.880
negative excuse me, the negative equity
snowball, meaning some people they trade a

1452
02:01:11.960 --> 02:01:16.199
car in and they owe so much
on the car that they actually their next

1453
02:01:16.279 --> 02:01:21.159
car goes in with a negative snowball, and that negative snowball keeps getting bigger

1454
02:01:21.239 --> 02:01:26.079
and bigger. Yeah, but that's
not what happened in this situation. The

1455
02:01:26.479 --> 02:01:30.840
dealership in Welld County, by the
way, that that we bought the original

1456
02:01:30.920 --> 02:01:34.199
car from, it was kind of
a kind of a you know, get

1457
02:01:34.279 --> 02:01:39.520
me to him from places car.
It wasn't a big purchase. This was

1458
02:01:39.600 --> 02:01:44.319
for my son. So what was
the value of the car? Because they're

1459
02:01:44.319 --> 02:01:46.319
only going to go a certain percentage
above. I just want to make sure

1460
02:01:46.600 --> 02:01:49.960
they're not screwing around with you because
they're not going to cover you. What

1461
02:01:50.239 --> 02:01:55.279
is the percentage above value that you're
going for? Is it one hundred and

1462
02:01:55.359 --> 02:01:58.960
five percent, one hundred and ten
percent? What does that represent? That

1463
02:01:59.159 --> 02:02:03.000
balance? I don't know, Tom, but well I'll just real quick tell

1464
02:02:03.039 --> 02:02:08.520
you that the dealership that sold the
original car car the car the engine blew

1465
02:02:08.600 --> 02:02:11.920
up or something after just a few
months after he had it, and they

1466
02:02:11.960 --> 02:02:15.279
were at least willing to get us
into another car, and they paid half

1467
02:02:15.399 --> 02:02:18.640
of what was still owed, which
was like eight thousand dollars on that car,

1468
02:02:19.359 --> 02:02:21.920
because it was an eight thousand dollars
car when we got it, and

1469
02:02:23.039 --> 02:02:26.319
so they they worked with us.
They paid half of that and they rolled

1470
02:02:26.359 --> 02:02:30.359
the other half into this loan on
this new car. This Kia. So

1471
02:02:30.479 --> 02:02:34.039
why do you think they're going to
pay for eight thousand dollars of an old

1472
02:02:34.119 --> 02:02:39.399
car? I don't. I don't
they did that. And that's that's getting

1473
02:02:39.439 --> 02:02:43.560
into the weeds a little bit because
they but it's probably why they're not paying

1474
02:02:43.640 --> 02:02:47.279
you. It's probably why they're not
paying you. But it's been in review.

1475
02:02:47.520 --> 02:02:54.319
It's been in final review with the
the Gap insurance place since March ninth,

1476
02:02:54.960 --> 02:02:59.920
and that's a long time to be
in final review. If they're not,

1477
02:03:00.600 --> 02:03:02.439
I don't care. I guess you're
not really hearing what I'm saying,

1478
02:03:02.520 --> 02:03:06.880
are you. They're not going to
pay you for the old car? Well,

1479
02:03:06.960 --> 02:03:11.800
can they pay me whatever they owe? I mean, yeah, hold

1480
02:03:11.880 --> 02:03:16.920
on, yes, hold on,
It depends on it depends the Kiya.

1481
02:03:17.439 --> 02:03:23.680
They will only go about what,
at the very most, one hundred and

1482
02:03:23.800 --> 02:03:29.520
twenty five percent of value. That's
why I'm asking you. At the time

1483
02:03:29.840 --> 02:03:35.319
of the wreck, what was the
value of the car? Peeks? And

1484
02:03:36.000 --> 02:03:40.439
it was a Hundaikona, not a
Kia. Sorry, okay. If it's

1485
02:03:40.479 --> 02:03:44.800
a Hyundai Kona, you have to
figure out. Let's just put it to

1486
02:03:44.960 --> 02:03:47.000
numbers. What did you pay for
the damn car? And I don't mean

1487
02:03:47.079 --> 02:03:54.640
with the negative snowball. Well,
I have to I have to look back.

1488
02:03:54.920 --> 02:03:57.520
I just called you on a whim. I'd have to go pull the

1489
02:03:57.600 --> 02:04:00.199
paper. Okay, if you really
want help, I'll help help you.

1490
02:04:00.319 --> 02:04:04.119
But let's just say the car was
worth at the time of the wreck twenty

1491
02:04:04.159 --> 02:04:09.479
two thousand. Does that sound like
it was worth way more? Or is

1492
02:04:09.800 --> 02:04:14.800
that about right? That's about right. Let's just say it was. Then

1493
02:04:14.880 --> 02:04:19.560
you times that by one twenty five
percent, and you come up with twenty

1494
02:04:19.640 --> 02:04:26.159
seven to five. So if it
was if your loan, if your loan

1495
02:04:26.960 --> 02:04:31.880
was twenty five, they'll pay you
twenty five hundred. If your loan was

1496
02:04:32.039 --> 02:04:36.000
twenty seven, five or thirty,
they're not going to pay you anything.

1497
02:04:40.640 --> 02:04:45.399
They're only going to pay the value
of that car and a buffer. They're

1498
02:04:45.479 --> 02:04:49.560
not paying for past mistakes. I
guarantee you that is what's hanging you up

1499
02:04:49.680 --> 02:04:57.840
right now. I see what you're
saying. Now. It's because people think

1500
02:04:57.960 --> 02:05:05.159
gap insurance is stupid insurance. It
is not, you know, it's I

1501
02:05:05.239 --> 02:05:12.079
guess the stupidity comes in at buying
from that dealership and then buying a new

1502
02:05:12.159 --> 02:05:16.479
car and letting you know. I
just couldn't see paying eight thousand dollars on

1503
02:05:16.600 --> 02:05:20.600
a car that the engine blew up
and there was no I'm not I'm not

1504
02:05:21.800 --> 02:05:27.399
I'm not chastising you for I'm not
chastising you for what you did. But

1505
02:05:27.600 --> 02:05:31.640
the insurance company doesn't take doesn't pay
for that. They don't pay for past

1506
02:05:31.720 --> 02:05:36.159
mistakes, they don't pay for previous
vehicles. And that's in essence what you're

1507
02:05:36.199 --> 02:05:40.600
doing. You're asking them to pay
because it's right around the same amount,

1508
02:05:40.920 --> 02:05:44.319
seven grand, they're not going to
pay it. I'm shocked if you get

1509
02:05:44.359 --> 02:05:46.920
a payment. I'm sorry to tell
you that. But once you get the

1523
02:06:56.520 --> 02:07:00.239
what's going on with you and your
sewer? Susan, welcome, Thank

1524
02:07:00.319 --> 02:07:04.039
you, Tom, and I appreciate
your help. I'm a seventy seven single

1525
02:07:04.279 --> 02:07:11.039
Denver citizen living in my home which
I've owned for all most of those years

1526
02:07:12.560 --> 02:07:18.520
thirty years. Huh. And in
March, the Denver Sewer section of the

1527
02:07:19.399 --> 02:07:26.000
water company in Denver did an alley
scope of the main line down the center

1528
02:07:26.079 --> 02:07:33.000
of the alley to show that my
pipe where it enters the main pipe in

1529
02:07:33.119 --> 02:07:41.119
the alley was cracked with roots going
into it. Now across the alley from

1530
02:07:43.000 --> 02:07:46.479
in the back my neighbor's Christmas tree, which has been therefore before I moved

1531
02:07:46.520 --> 02:07:54.279
here in the ground and has grown
massively. Rady City usually call on Denver

1532
02:07:54.840 --> 02:07:58.640
and New York City would love to
have that Christmas tree. It is so

1533
02:07:58.800 --> 02:08:05.079
mammoth and beautiful, but it has
cracked the pavement in the alley from her

1534
02:08:05.199 --> 02:08:13.039
back part of the alley to my
yard, and there are no other trees

1535
02:08:13.079 --> 02:08:16.560
around. I don't have trees.
I have concrete back there against my back

1536
02:08:16.640 --> 02:08:20.600
sense. And yet they are threatening
me. The sewer company is threatening me

1537
02:08:22.560 --> 02:08:28.359
for that public access area that I
have to pay fifty two hundred dollars to

1538
02:08:28.479 --> 02:08:31.840
fix my sewer line, that her
tree. Okay, Susan, Susan,

1539
02:08:31.399 --> 02:08:35.960
I know where you're coming from.
Let me explain some stuff without taking It's

1540
02:08:37.000 --> 02:08:41.159
going to be difficult to understand because
it's not going to be logical. But

1541
02:08:41.279 --> 02:08:45.159
I have to tell you this,
this is really important. Again. I

1542
02:08:45.319 --> 02:08:48.880
have to smack people sometimes straight up
with truth and facts. Not what you

1543
02:08:50.079 --> 02:08:54.880
think should be done, but what
is fact, and that is this tree.

1544
02:08:54.000 --> 02:09:00.359
Roots are God's roots. Your neighbor
did nothing negligent. Your neighbor is

1545
02:09:00.520 --> 02:09:03.920
not responsible for them, especially for
a tree that's been there one hundred years.

1546
02:09:05.439 --> 02:09:09.720
Your neighbor would only be responsible if
she went out there with a jackhammer

1547
02:09:11.079 --> 02:09:15.359
and somehow screwed up your sewer line. No matter what you think, it

1548
02:09:15.439 --> 02:09:20.439
will never happen. You will never
hold someone else responsible because of their tree

1549
02:09:20.520 --> 02:09:26.880
roots. Now, in a perfect
world, a sustainable sewer can withstand some

1550
02:09:26.119 --> 02:09:33.920
root pressure. But even if it
can't, you can't blame the tree's property

1551
02:09:33.039 --> 02:09:39.319
owner. You can't. It will
never happen. Number two. Okay,

1552
02:09:39.439 --> 02:09:46.199
but here's the issue. Your service
line needs to be replaced. You're the

1553
02:09:46.479 --> 02:09:52.439
only one responsible for that. No
one else is, even in a public

1554
02:09:52.680 --> 02:10:00.520
thoroughfare where that's right, that's right, that's right. You're responsible from your

1555
02:10:00.720 --> 02:10:05.319
home to the sewer main, even
if it goes across public property. Yes,

1556
02:10:05.439 --> 02:10:11.840
you are, Susan. I like
I said, I didn't. I

1557
02:10:11.920 --> 02:10:15.920
knew you weren't going to like what
you heard. That sewer line is yours.

1558
02:10:16.439 --> 02:10:20.760
It doesn't matter that it goes through
that public alley. In fact,

1559
02:10:20.439 --> 02:10:26.159
because it if it went to a
public street, you would have to pay

1560
02:10:26.560 --> 02:10:31.119
to repave the road and the sidewalk. If it went out the front of

1561
02:10:31.199 --> 02:10:37.119
your house and it went into the
street to the sewer main, you would

1562
02:10:37.239 --> 02:10:43.560
have to pay to disturb. If
you disturbed the sidewalk and the pavement,

1563
02:10:43.279 --> 02:10:48.079
it would be your responsibility to redo
them, or the city would redo them

1564
02:10:48.159 --> 02:10:54.680
and charge you, because that is
a homeowner's responsibility. Now, let me

1565
02:10:54.760 --> 02:11:01.239
explain something to you. The good
news is there are technologies available that do

1566
02:11:01.439 --> 02:11:07.119
not disturb the ground a lot.
If you're eligible. Some of the new

1567
02:11:07.279 --> 02:11:11.880
technology can do what's called a pipe
burst. Without getting too technical, they

1568
02:11:11.960 --> 02:11:16.319
can run a bullet type pipe under
the ground and come up to where that

1569
02:11:16.840 --> 02:11:22.560
and they only have to dig on
each end. Sometimes you can't do that.

1570
02:11:22.359 --> 02:11:28.560
Whatever it is you, it's a
fee. Well for that, I'm

1571
02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:31.479
hold on. I thought it would
be more. How it must not be

1572
02:11:31.640 --> 02:11:35.680
that long? Then, well,
it isn't that bad of a break.

1573
02:11:35.760 --> 02:11:37.720
I'm told I don't know a thing
about that. But listen, here's what

1574
02:11:37.840 --> 02:11:41.479
I want you to do, Susan. If they're only going down to that

1575
02:11:41.640 --> 02:11:46.920
one break for five thousand, that's
not always the wisest thing to do.

1576
02:11:46.880 --> 02:11:50.479
It's usually a signal that your sewer
line. What you don't want to do

1577
02:11:50.720 --> 02:11:56.800
is be paying five grand every now
and then. What I would like you

1578
02:11:56.920 --> 02:12:00.880
to do. Who did you get
the bid from. It's called top hat.

1579
02:12:01.159 --> 02:12:03.399
It was referred by the sewer company
and they went from the top of

1580
02:12:03.479 --> 02:12:09.359
my house. I scoped half of
the backyard to the alley line, and

1581
02:12:09.520 --> 02:12:15.479
my pipes are fine. Who referred
top hat to you? The Denver Sewer

1582
02:12:15.560 --> 02:12:18.920
Company gave a list of names,
and they said, this particular man has

1583
02:12:18.960 --> 02:12:24.760
a patent on that kind of a
caller that could replace that that small break.

1584
02:12:26.319 --> 02:12:31.600
Well, okay, if okay,
that's fine. They do have top

1585
02:12:31.680 --> 02:12:37.600
Hat does have some special technology.
But before I had top Hat do it,

1586
02:12:39.159 --> 02:12:43.039
since you've already gotten a bid,
I would also have someone else do

1587
02:12:43.159 --> 02:12:48.760
it. Give you a bid.
Well, they supposedly are the only ones

1588
02:12:48.840 --> 02:12:52.439
that could do that because they have
Okay, so because of that, you're

1589
02:12:52.479 --> 02:12:56.840
not even going to try to get
another You're just gonna believe that, right,

1590
02:12:56.000 --> 02:13:00.560
and you're not even going to try? Is that? What is that?

1591
02:13:00.680 --> 02:13:03.399
What eighty seven years of experience told
you? You're a wisdom I called

1592
02:13:03.880 --> 02:13:07.640
wisdom? Okay, listen, And
I don't mean to be by the way

1593
02:13:07.800 --> 02:13:09.960
you're You're too old for me to
give you a tough time. I don't

1594
02:13:09.960 --> 02:13:13.520
want to give you a tough time. But Susan, here's what I want

1595
02:13:13.560 --> 02:13:16.319
to say. Seriously, top Hat
might be the best choice, but maybe

1596
02:13:16.399 --> 02:13:22.239
not. So you can't go wrong
simply getting another opinion. That's all I'm

1597
02:13:22.279 --> 02:13:28.600
asking, And and and because there
are different technologies, as I mentioned,

1598
02:13:28.199 --> 02:13:33.680
that might be able to preserve some
of the ground and save money. You're

1599
02:13:35.439 --> 02:13:39.960
right about top Hat having some stuff. I read about them. But I

1600
02:13:39.159 --> 02:13:43.239
want you to try at least one
more, get one more bid that there's

1601
02:13:43.319 --> 02:13:48.359
a free second opinion. If you
call plumb Line Services, it's free.

1602
02:13:48.000 --> 02:13:50.840
And you even tell them that,
say, you know, Tom Martinez said,

1603
02:13:50.880 --> 02:13:56.079
I get a free second opinion,
and go ahead, and I'll give

1604
02:13:56.119 --> 02:14:01.039
you the number, and maybe you
will go with top Hat. But at

1605
02:14:01.199 --> 02:14:05.840
least get two bids. At least. Oh you know, about three years

1606
02:14:05.840 --> 02:14:09.960
ago, I got a knock at
my front door. My gas pipe was

1607
02:14:09.720 --> 02:14:15.720
leaking. They dug up the center
of the street out front, put a

1608
02:14:15.840 --> 02:14:18.960
pipe from the center of the city
street to the corner of my house.

1609
02:14:20.560 --> 02:14:22.359
And they charged me nothing. So
I, well, I don't know why

1610
02:14:22.439 --> 02:14:26.600
that happened, because they could have
charged you for your service line. They

1611
02:14:26.680 --> 02:14:31.199
must have damaged it or something.
But let's say they didn't. Let's say

1612
02:14:31.279 --> 02:14:35.800
they did it to be kind.
The sewer department doesn't have to do it

1613
02:14:35.920 --> 02:14:39.680
to be kind, Okay, you
know, I mean, I wish I

1614
02:14:39.760 --> 02:14:43.600

four waterpros dot Net. Julie,
what's going on? Hi? Tom,

1642
02:16:48.440 --> 02:16:54.879
Hey Julie, what's going on?
Well, my hot water has been out

1643
02:16:54.959 --> 02:17:01.120
for the past five months in my
apartment. On You've not had hot water

1644
02:17:01.360 --> 02:17:07.639
for five months in my kitchen?
Why is that? Why just in your

1645
02:17:07.719 --> 02:17:13.399
kitchen? You mean hot water works
in your bathroom? It does and then

1646
02:17:15.479 --> 02:17:18.200
but that does on and off too, But it doesn't make sense to me.

1647
02:17:18.840 --> 02:17:24.559
That doesn't make sense. Well,
and so this, this is why

1648
02:17:24.600 --> 02:17:31.840
I'm calling you, because like I've
been really patient about it, and I've

1649
02:17:31.959 --> 02:17:37.760
gone down there and I've said to
the management and I said to the maintenance

1650
02:17:37.840 --> 02:17:43.040
team, you know, just explain
to me what's going on, and they'll

1651
02:17:43.079 --> 02:17:46.760
say things to me like, oh, we have no idea. Well,

1652
02:17:46.840 --> 02:17:52.200
i'll tell you this, Okay.
On the surface, it does sound puzzling

1653
02:17:52.000 --> 02:17:58.040
that you have water hot water except
in the kitchen. I don't understand that

1654
02:17:58.200 --> 02:18:05.159
because water is hot water and it
doesn't discriminate where it goes. I just

1655
02:18:05.280 --> 02:18:07.799
can't even fathom that. But here's
what I want to do. Rather than

1656
02:18:07.879 --> 02:18:11.680
cut you off, Let's give this
to Deputy Marvel because I think she can

1657
02:18:11.719 --> 02:18:15.680
get to the bottom of it at
least and get us some information. So

1658
02:18:15.840 --> 02:18:18.200
we'll do that right now, Julie, and then I have to because I'm

1659
02:18:18.239 --> 02:18:20.920
running out of time, and we'll
get you back on to mar if you

1660
02:18:22.000 --> 02:18:24.399
want, but we're going to give
this to Deputy Marvel to talk about.

1661
02:18:24.760 --> 02:18:26.879
I'm Tom Martinez. Save all your
problems for me.
