seven one three eight two five five
For all my streamers. I don't think

6
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.799
our cameras are up yet in this
studio, but we shall be there soon.

7
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.679
I have with me a guest today
and uh premiere window cleaning and pressure

8
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.600
washing. We'll talk about that and
snow removal if we're gonna have any more.

9
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.719
They do that as well. Whatever's
on your mind? Three oh three

10
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:57.039
seven one three talk three oh three
seven one three eight two five five.

11
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.920
What's going on in your life?
How can we help you? And Mark

12
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.519
let me know if you if you
need me to reboot these cameras, and

13
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.680
he's working on video time, I
can reboot if he needs me too.

14
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.120
But anyway, so let's talk today. You know what's weird? The Supreme

15
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:23.560
Court refused to block the law in
Texas where Texas the state was arresting people

16
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:32.400
who entered illegally. Now, the
Biden administration and the Justice Department wanted the

17
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:38.640
law blocked because of the profiling aspect
of it. What first, they're saying,

18
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.239
the federal government has purview over immigration, and the federal government is the

19
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:52.959
one that enforces immigration. And second, other people who are against the law

20
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.640
say they're against the law in Texas
saying you shouldn't profile people based on what

21
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:06.319
they look like and then you know, basically ask for their papers and arrest

22
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:12.439
them if they're here illegally. Now, the Supreme Court refused to block it.

23
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.159
They didn't really hear the case on
its merits. They just felt the

24
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:22.319
state had the power to do it, so they refused to hear it.

25
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:30.840
Everyone took that as an approval of
that law. But what the Supreme Court

26
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:37.520
really did was sent it back to
a lower court. The lower court,

27
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.439
i believe last night, did block
it. So now the lower court says,

28
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:50.400
and it's a federal court. A
federal judge said that they're putting a

29
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.719
stay on this law until they can
look into the constitutional aspects. But they're

30
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.280
also it was a very quick stand. They're taking oral arguments on it in

31
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:05.479
the next day or too. Okay, that's good. The oral arguments with

32
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.360
the Supreme Court, Mark, or
with that with the Federal Court, with

33
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.800
the Federal Court, and then the
Federal Court will decide and then if they

34
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.280
go against Texas, of course,
then it'll go back to the Supreme Court

35
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.560
to actually rule on Thank you now, Mark, Should I reboot the cameras?

36
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.280
By the way, Yeah, I
was just typing in there. Yours

37
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.000
is just no good man, all
right. I don't know what's going on.

38
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.479
But again, you know, these
things happen. I just turned them

39
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.479
off. I'll turn them back.
You didn't do anything. Yeah, anyway,

40
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.280
I want to talk to Greg with
an IRS issue, and we have

41
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.919
our experts on from Larsen tax Relief
dot com. These guys are really good

42
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.639
for people who have a lot of
trouble. And there's always that point when

43
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.800
do you call them? When do
you not? And Michael isay call them

44
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.479
no matter what. And then you
guys, you can you will honestly assess

45
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.080
people's situation and tell them, hey, you know what, you don't really

46
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.719
need us, or it may not
pay to hire us. Here's what you

47
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.400
should do. Isn't that what you
have been done in the past. That's

48
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:12.520
what I love about what you guys
do. Michael is he there, Michael,

49
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.240
Let's we just give them some guidance
and let them go on their way.

50
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:20.720
Yeah, okay, So let's talk
about this. And because my camera's

51
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.879
not working, I can actually itch
and pick my nose do whatever I want.

52
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.319
Hey, I want to, Michael, I want to talk about this

53
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:34.800
with Greg. Greg is calling for
an employee. Okay, and Greg,

54
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:40.040
why don't you explain the situation.
I have your call here, but since

55
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:46.160
you're on, explain to Larsen tax
relief. What's going on? So?

56
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:53.120
I have an employee who has not
filed tax returns for I'm thinking decades.

57
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:58.879
He's been my employee for since I
purchased the business approximately six or seven years

58
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:05.480
ago. He has not filed a
return in that time. He's set his

59
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:12.839
withholding that five dependents which he does
not have and so to minimize them.

60
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:19.480
And recently he received a letter from
the State of Colorado Revenue Department that he

61
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:24.720
needed to pay one thousand dollars for
SAX years eighteen and nineteen plus a two

62
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:29.680
hundred and fifty dollars using round numbers
fine or they were going to start garnishing

63
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.480
his wages toward the end of this
month. Do you know why they flagged

64
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:39.519
just those years, Greg, No, no idea. My suspicion would be

65
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.839
and Larson would know better than I. But my suspicion is they'll go after

66
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.079
those and then as soon as that's
meant, they'll go after other years.

67
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.120
Now, here's what I want to
tell you. Here's what I want to

68
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:55.720
ask you. This is important.
You have been paying him and paying withholding

69
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.160
on him, and you have been
using his Social Security number? Is that

70
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.720
right? That is correct? So
there is a file in the sky for

71
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:10.240
this employee. Yes, So I
have some basic questions for Larson tax relief

72
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:16.600
Michael. When somebody is hired and
an employer pays withholding on this person,

73
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:25.199
and when there's a file in the
sky, does that trigger the IRS or

74
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.120
the state to eventually say where's the
return? Yeah, and that could also

75
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:38.079
trigger Tom the state or IRS to
file a return for the taxpayer and start

76
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:43.639
collecting on that return. When they
file a return for the taxpayer in this

77
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.600
case, they were pretty accurate.
Can you just do that year after year

78
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.399
or do they eventually say, hey, dude, we're not your accountant.

79
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.759
They'll do it in time, year
after year, but eventually they'll just start

80
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.839
levying bank accounts or garnishing waged,
and that'll wake the taxpayer up and nudge

81
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.360
him along to filing the remaining years
or returns for the years that the state

82
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.480
or IRS did for him. Now
in the year, let's just say the

83
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:17.199
IRS is not overestimating or the State
is not overestimating, but they're picking the

84
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:23.800
past years as they go. What
would would I be giving bad advice if

85
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:28.480
I said, have the employees start
filing from this year forward and then let

86
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.040
the FEDS and the state worry about
the past and pay as they bring it

87
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.120
up. Is that bad advice?
I don't think it is bad advice,

88
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:41.079
Tom, because with the IRS,
especially, there's a statute of limitations of

89
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.480
ten years. So say the IRS
files are return for a taxpayer for twenty

90
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.160
eighteen. The clocks start as soon
as the IRS files that return for that

91
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.600
person, so the ten year o'clock. If that person says, hey,

92
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.480
I don't like the IRS's return,
I want to do my own, and

93
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.480
that taxpayer files his own return for
eighteen, he resets the clock to start

94
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.439
at ten years from that point.
So if it's not overestimated, leave it

95
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.839
alone. But I want to know
this. The statutal limitations. That's only

96
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.120
if you file. So if this
guy hasn't filed, let's say in thirty

97
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.160
years, literally thirty years, can
they go back twenty five, twenty eight

98
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.360
years ago? No, they can't. Generally, the IRS will only go

99
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:30.959
back six years. Tom states are
different. Colorado, I've seen go back

100
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.279
as many as eight, but generally
okay. So let's say, worst case

101
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:41.120
scenario, they go back eight years
and he pays this bill because it's due,

102
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.679
and then he just waits to hear
from the IRS or the state.

103
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.039
Is it likely he'll hear from the
state IRS since the state wrote him a

104
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:58.240
letter about these years. Yeah,
I mean that'll sometimes flag the system of

105
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:03.440
the IRS. Where So if he
just starts filing from this day, from

106
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.039
this year forward, or twenty twenty
three forward, or twenty four for whatever.

107
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.840
If he starts filing and then as
the past years come up, if

108
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:20.480
they're not sadly over exaggerated, he
simply pays them as they come up.

109
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.840
Will that keep him out of deep
trouble? Generally? Yeah, so long

110
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.919
as he stays current from this point
forward, and if he gets billed for

111
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.639
returns that the IRS previously filed,
that would keep him out of trouble.

112
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.440
That seems to me. Correct me
if I'm wrong, to be more logical

113
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:46.720
than to try to go back and
file eight years all at once. What

114
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.840
do you think? I agree with
you, tom So, I'm glad we

115
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.399
have him on to clarify this.
Greg. Is he prepared to start filing

116
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.039
for let's say he has another month
to file for twenty twenty three? Is

117
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.240
he prepared to do that? Or
does he spend every dime or what?

118
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.159
Oh? I think he spends every
dime. But you know, and I

119
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.080
think the sad part is throughout this
recent period we're talking about, there were

120
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:24.120
so many state and IRS refunds and
credits. He probably hurt himself financially,

121
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.440
rather than by by not filing,
he probably would have gotten money back.

122
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.559
But no, but TA can go
back, what is it, two or

123
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.159
three years and actually amend those.
And if that's actually the case, wouldn't

124
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:39.679
you still get those I don't want
them to call him rebates but free COVID

125
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:45.480
money? No? I think those
I think those required filing on time.

126
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.320
I did not know that I could
be. And the listener in collect there

127
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:56.840
mark and the timetrame for claiming refunds
is three years Okay, So I think

128
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.679
the battle plan, Greg is to
have him go twenty three forward and then

129
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.240
wait for the acts to draw the
shoe to dropper or the pammer to drop

130
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.480
or however you want to put it
on the previous years. Here's the thing.

131
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:15.320
Okay, Greg, what kind of
work does he do? He's a

132
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.639
sand blaster. Okay, you should
probably have him adjust his deductions as well

133
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.720
if he spends every penny. Oh
oh. I have this conversation with him

134
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.120
frequently. Yeah, because he lives
his life and fear and that's distress.

135
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.000
Or you give him a raise.
I hope he's not listening. But you

136
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.320
know how long has he been with
you? Well, he's been with this

137
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.840
company for a dozen years, and
he's been with me since I purchased it.

138
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.600
So I'm i'm I am willing to
help him, and I'm willing to

139
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.080
adjust his pay up to accommodate for
the additional withholdings. But yeah, I'm

140
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:54.039
looking for the best advice to get
him on the correct path and not have

141
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.480
to live. Well, I'm going
to tell you Larson tax relief for anyone

00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:52.519
five four. Okay, I'm back
up on the stream three oh three seven

152
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.399
one three talk seven one three eight
two five five with me Tyler. Tyler,

153
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.320
somebody wants to know all ready,
I got a text for you.

154
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.480
So you're pretty popular. No,
seriously, somebody wants to know on the

155
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.559
text. And if you want to
text the show, it's five seven seven

156
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.519
three nine. You got to put
Tom in it. And then it comes

157
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.799
to me. So if somebody's going
to do their own windows, you know

158
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.480
not I'm not saying they're not going
to ever hire you, but if they

159
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.879
want to do their own windows.
What's the best solution? What do you

160
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.840
think? Yeah, so we actually
sell a solution that we have designed here

161
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:28.399
in Colorado for people who want to
do it themselves, really that they can

162
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.559
purchase directly from us. All they
do is put it inside of it.

163
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.960
Is it really different than can you
give me basic and grid? I look

164
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.240
at it. We're not looking to
take away business from you, but just

165
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.519
give me some secrets. I wish
things that you like. I wish I

166
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.080
was the chemist on it. It
kind of how do I explain it?

167
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.440
It acts almost like a ceramic coating
on a car pretty much in a way.

168
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.960
So once it cleans it, it
keeps it cleans it keeps it cleaner.

169
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.919
All of our guys use it twenty
four to seven, seven days a

170
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.720
week, every day that we're operating. And let me put this another way.

171
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.519
If you're at home and you want
to use something quickly and you didn't

172
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.559
buy the stuff from you because you
really I have no problem with them calling

173
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.200
you guys for this and I'll give
out your contact. But if they want

174
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.440
to use something at home, what's
the best thing at home they have?

175
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.639
Now? Don dish soap and water, Okay, don dish oup and water

176
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.000
we used. Is that a myth
or what it's a it's a one hundred

177
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.360
percent myth. They've said they lose
paper and uh and vinegar. It doesn't

178
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.399
work anymore. No, no,
no, okay, So dawn is good.

179
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.200
What about in a weak solution of
dawn? Right? You know when

180
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.720
it says you r what what do
you It's like two two teaspoons inside a

181
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.159
in a five gallon bucket. You
don't need? Oh my goodness, yeah,

182
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.840
you don't know, So rags or
squeegees or what? We use squeegees

183
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.639
on a day to day basis.
I would always recommend squeegees. What about

184
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.919
soft brushes? Soft brushes can damage
the window. The windows are very very

185
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.720
soft. I would recommend if you
don't have a squeege a mop you use

186
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.480
use like a surgical towel. Now
you don't want to use you don't want

187
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.840
to try to get the minerals off. Well, the minerals aren't going to

188
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.879
come off with dawn, are they? No, the minerals aren't. That

189
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.519
it's a special restoration. Yeah,
that's a special restoration. I mean hard

190
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.320
water, and well Nature's hard water
can really put it do a number one

191
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.559
thank you. And that's a Premiere
Window Cleaning and pressure watching by the way,

192
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.759
Denver. Wait wait, we gave
it another number. We we we

193
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.639
got another website. What was the
latest one we got? Uh, trust

194
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.440
Premiere Window dot com. Trust Premiere
Window dot com because I thought it was

195
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.759
easier. The other one is Denver
Pressure washed dot com. Yep, there's

196
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.960
nothing wrong with that either, because
they do that. Okay, let's go

197
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:39.960
to the phone. So Rommie wants
to talk about something with his business.

198
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.159
Go ahead, Romie, Yes,
Tom, thanks for taking my call.

199
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.960
Yes, sir, what's going on? Rommi? We have a life insurance

200
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.960
and short term disability with Guardian and
we've been using Okay, you have a

201
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.279
life insurance policy with Guardian. Okay, and this is for our business.

202
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.080
So that's for our employees in the
business. Okay, So hold on.

203
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:11.240
So Guardian provides insurance products for all
of your employees, well, the full

204
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:18.039
time staff is okay, got it. And we've been having trouble with them.

205
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:26.600
We added you know, they dropped
our short term disability last year.

206
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:33.759
Now do you provide both long term
and short term? Just short term?

207
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:38.840
Okay? So you provide short term
disability and life insurance yes, and they

208
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:44.720
dropped last year, they dropped the
short term disability from our plan, and

209
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.679
we took us a while to figure
out why they dropped it. They said,

210
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.000
we we had we're small companies,
so we don't have very many staff,

211
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.759
and they said, we went below
their minimum. But that took,

212
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.399
you know, several months to figure
out. So then we had to get

213
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.359
short term disability added back on.
They added. I said, hey,

214
00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:07.440
can you when you're doing that,
can you add me? Give me a

215
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.960
quote so I can see how much
it would cost to add me as an

216
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:14.680
owner. The next thing we knew
they were billing us for adding me to

217
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.920
the short term disability hold on.
But here's what I want to know.

218
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.759
Before that happened, when they dropped
your disability, did your premium go down?

219
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.960
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
okay? And then did they add

220
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:36.000
back disability without you on it first? No? They added it with me

221
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.440
on it, okay. And did
you put them over the minimum? Is

222
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:44.759
that why that happened? Or did
they make a special exception? No?

223
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.720
They I shouldn't have even been allowed
as it turned out. No, I

224
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.119
get it, but the fact that
you were allowed, did that put your

225
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.359
number of employees over their minimum correct, Yes, it did. Okay,

226
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.720
So then what happened, Well,
I had other employees I was trying to

227
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.680
add at the same time, and
that's the part that was confusing. It's

228
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.519
like, I have two employees I
want to add and I need to quote

229
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:12.359
from me they added me? And
did they add another two employees? And

230
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.480
then it started, you know,
the rest of last year us trying to

231
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.920
work out, Hey, drop me
off the plans so I can have these

232
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.000
other two people. Now when you
said you can't be part of it,

233
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.680
is that part of the law you
say you can't be part of it?

234
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.039
Or what do you mean? You
for their guidelines? For their guidelines?

235
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.799
Okay, but there's no law I
know of that says you can't be correct

236
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:38.680
correct. Yes, it was just
you know that we weren't. Whoever the

237
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:45.640
underwriter changed our plan agreement and okay, so where do we stand today?

238
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:52.079
What do you need done? What
I need is feedback so from you or

239
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:57.720
advice from you. So we've now
added another employee to the short term disability

240
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:03.359
and they back build this nine months
of short term disability and I said,

241
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:08.160
now, wait, back build you
nine months for the people that you added,

242
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:14.160
saying they were there the whole time
or nine. Why did they retroactively

243
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.400
bill you because they said, though
it's three months after the start date.

244
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:25.319
Is what you know, our contract
says we can we can back and bill

245
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:30.119
you. Okay, then last April. So when you added let me get

246
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:36.839
this straight. Then when you added
the new people, they go back ninety

247
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.400
days on each one you add,
they go back three months after their start

248
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.920
date. Why that's what they say. The plan is. So there's you

249
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:51.559
know they have, But what's the
purpose of that retroactive billing. I don't

250
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.119
get it. Are you getting covered
for that? Well, that's that's the

251
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.920
reason why I was having a problem, Mark Ronnie. Are they saying theoretic?

252
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.480
Are you saying so if somebody I
got to get this straight. If

253
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:10.440
somebody starts at the end of March
and you add them to the policy,

254
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.920
they go back and bill you as
if they were working for you January,

255
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:22.640
February and March. The way it
works is usually that there's a three month

256
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.799
waiting period, so they won't cover
anyone during that three month waiting period.

257
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:32.599
Got it, I get it.
So it's really it's really priming the pump.

258
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.559
And I totally get it. And
it's contractual. What they're saying is

259
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.440
we want you to spool up with
three months of premiums before we cover the

260
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.519
person. So and also they want
to make sure that and this happens a

261
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.720
lot with disability. By the way, people get disability and that's the last

262
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.960
time they ever work, or they
go right off and collect it. So

263
00:20:55.000 --> 00:21:00.599
that waiting period allows them to ferret
out the fakers. Get it. It's

264
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.240
legal and it's been held up.
I know this for a fact because we've

265
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:10.559
handled these before. However, However, what I don't understand is this,

266
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:17.640
and I want a clarification. So
if someone starts April first, they bill

267
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:23.079
you from January, February and March
for that retroactivity. But then does that

268
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:32.519
mean that the person hired April first
is immediately covered? So let me let

269
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:38.119
me clarify something. So they're not
billing us during that three month waiting period.

270
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.640
They only start the billing period.
After the three month billing period,

271
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:48.880
they say they're not eligible. I
get it, But after three months,

272
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:56.519
are you retroactively built for all three
months? No, Well, we haven't

273
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.279
added because of the problem last year. We haven't. Here's what I want

274
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.079
to know, Ronnie here's what I
want to know. You just told me

275
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:08.200
that they bill you retroactively. So
do they or don't they bill you retroactively.

276
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.599
They billed me retroactively for the period
of time after that three month start

277
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:21.279
period. So we told them,
or my broker told them the start that

278
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:26.000
was January of twenty three and so
they went three months after that and said,

279
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.160
okay, you os April of last
year through February of this year.

280
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.640
I get it. I get it. Okay, I get it. But

281
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:38.480
they but they weren't technically named on
the policy, but they're still billing you

282
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:41.440
for it. They're still billing me
for it. And I'm like, well,

283
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.160
you didn't cover that person, wasn't
covered during that time? Well they

284
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.000
were covered, and they were covered. They were covered. Okay, hang

285
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:52.680
on, and we'll talk about that
coming up. I want to get Compass

286
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:57.079
Insurance group on. Hang on.
I think you're missing. I think I

287
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:02.519
know what's going on, and it's
only because we've handled plenty of these.

288
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.920
But we'll we'll tell you how to
get to the bottom of it right after

289
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:14.079
this. Hi, Tom Martino here
three three seven one to three talks seven

290
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:21.000
one, three, eight, two
five five. Let's talk where we're going

291
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.000
to wait for comm compass before I
bring romy back up. I want to

292
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.759
get some expert opinion. But right
now I want to talk to Fernando.

293
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.200
He has a comment on that other
issue. So a guy calls in for

294
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:34.599
his employee, says, he hasn't
filed taxes in dozens of years. Now

295
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:40.240
he's getting a letter and he's worried, and we gave him advice. We

296
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:44.640
gave him advice, and the advice
was just start current, stay current,

297
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.480
and then as the other pass notices
come up, if they're not sadly exaggerated,

298
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:53.480
just pay the tax, go ahead. Fernando, all of tom,

299
00:23:53.799 --> 00:24:02.880
I just wanted to add some advice
his employees shoot file previous years, because

300
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:08.119
the IRS is going to charge file
a tax for him based on just what

301
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:14.519
the employer reported paying him. That's
right, Well what he need, Yeah,

302
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.400
but they're not going to give him
credits that he might deserve for it,

303
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.079
like what maybe like maybe he's married, give him an exemption for his

304
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:29.319
wife, maybe he has kids,
there's another exemption to reduce his tax.

305
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:36.559
So they're just going to base it
on him being single and he might deserve

306
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.960
other tax credits. Okay, you're
right. If it turns out it's for

307
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.759
him to file previous years. And
that's I guess what I meant when I

308
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:52.799
said, if it's not exaggerated and
you don't mind the tax bill, he

309
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.279
could do some math to see if
he'd better be better off doing an amendment.

310
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.880
He could do that exactly well,
doing the original he didn't file.

311
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.480
Well that's what. Okay, you're
right, but it's an amendment. Hold

312
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:10.160
on, it's still considered an amendment
since the state filed for him. Well,

313
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.440
that's the thing is, I wasn't
sure if you were talking about the

314
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:17.039
IRS or state what it is.
Right now we're talking about the state.

315
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:21.839
But I agree with you, Fernando, I agree totally. Fernando's message is

316
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.200
this, don't just let the past
wait until they contact you. Well,

317
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.599
I believe you should. But what
Fernando is saying is you still may want

318
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.720
to file your own because your own
may take into consideration other credits. However,

319
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:40.440
there is a statute of limitations.
I was told if you don't file

320
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.880
on time, you lose those credits
and you lose those incentives. So really

321
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.599
what you need to do is this, if you get a letter from the

322
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.920
IRS, What you need to do
is check with someone who knows about taxes

323
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.799
to make sure that it's not an
exaggerated amount. If you can do better

324
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:02.039
filing an amendment to what they file, go ahead and do it. Fernando,

325
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.920
thank you for that advice. Three
oh three seven one three talk seven

326
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:11.640
one three eight two five five.
Connie, you called into what a few

327
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:22.000
months ago? Connie? Are you
there? Can someone help me? She

328
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.559
should be there? Okay, Connie, I need to know where we're at.

329
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.599
If you if you don't say I'm
here, I'm here, tell me

330
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:37.319
what's going on? Okay? A
few months ago I called you. Do

331
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:38.640
you know when you called me?
Connie? I'm looking for your call,

332
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:47.680
just roughly maybe three months ago?
Okay, So what's going on? And

333
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:51.599
I will and I could have called
in a consilo because that's my given name,

334
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:57.160
Okay, and the ha that I
was having a dispute with Okay,

335
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:02.640
and we had been down the road
that's been going on since last August.

336
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.440
Okay had a hearing. They have
fined me. Now tell me what the

337
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:15.880
original problem was with them. It
was that they had we had a new

338
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:22.160
president come into on the scene here
and they went back into the deck pages

339
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.880
and discovered that no one should be
able to toast the common areas. Oh,

340
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.839
I remember you were landscaping in your
town host Unity. Yeah, you

341
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:37.680
were maintaining common property and you were
credited HOA fees for doing it. So

342
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.960
instead of so instead of paying the
full HOA fees, they said, because

343
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.440
you're doing this landscaping, we're going
to credit you. Then the new board

344
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:51.160
said no, no, not only
do we want you to stop that,

345
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:56.000
we're going to find you for doing
it. And they find you fourteen hundred.

346
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:02.720
Then you said, hey, how
about seven hundred and we'll call it

347
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:07.079
good and I won't do it anymore. And then that you were going to

348
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:12.519
go to mediation. We did that. What happened we had a mediation a

349
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:19.240
week ago from Monday. I was
able to talk for of course, we

350
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:25.160
did it through zoom and so I
explained to the mediator what my situation was.

351
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.880
I gave her examples, pictures and
whatever I could throw in there,

352
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:32.400
which I've never been able to say. And this was in early March.

353
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.640
Yees, okay, okay. What
was the result of your mediation? Was

354
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.799
it a fair hearing? You think? Oh? Absolutely done. I did

355
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.680
all the talking. She went back. She was gone maybe ten minutes.

356
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:51.119
She came back and do you have
to pay the full fourteen hundred? Oh?

357
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:52.960
No, Now they want ninety three
hundred from me. Wait wait,

358
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:57.680
wait, wha, wha what what? Nine thousand? Why? Nine thousand,

359
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:03.680
three hundred? That's why the lawyer
fees. They want me to pay

360
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:10.680
the lawyer fees. You went to
mediation, you offered to pay seven hundred

361
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:15.400
when it was fourteen hundred, Yes, and now they want you. Did

362
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:21.240
they have a lawyer at mediation?
Yes? It is. Are you kidding?

363
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:25.240
How are you ever going to come
up with ninety three hundred? I'm

364
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:30.640
not so After that phone call,
I called him, their lawyer, and

365
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.559
I explained to him. You know, I said, I offered five hundred

366
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.440
in the mediation. I said I
can give them five hundred and let's just

367
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:41.279
make this go away. And known
that's when they came back and they said,

368
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.839
nope, they want ninety three hundred
from you, and I just kind

369
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:49.880
of laughed. And so then I
called him and I offered him fourteen hundred

370
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.599
dollars. I said, I could
do fourteen hundred dollars. That's all I

371
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:57.440
can do. And my daughter so
happened to be on the other line.

372
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:03.200
We did a three way call to
him and she asked him, why is

373
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.559
that you know it's all for his
lawyer fees. My question to you,

374
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.279
tom So, I did say I
can do fourteen. He says, well,

375
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:15.319
I'll present that to them. If
not, we go to court.

376
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:19.319
Well, you can't afford court.
I don't want No, I don't want

377
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:22.559
court. But I'm not paying them, you know not. Every time they

378
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.559
look at him, he's you know, the ticker's running. This is the

379
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:32.079
problem with Cho's. This is what
happens. Oh, I know it's yearning.

380
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:33.559
It could go if you go to
court, it's going to go to

381
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.960
twenty five or you're going to lose
your place. You know that, right,

382
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.079
Yeah, And I'm not going to
do that. I'm not doing it.

383
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.799
I mean I will do whatever.
Well, what happens if hold on

384
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:49.960
the law is not always fair,
No, it goes by whatever the law

385
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:56.200
is. I hate HOA laws and
structures the way they are right now.

386
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.240
They should have a limit on attorney's
fees and all that. They punish people

387
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:04.200
for trying to stick up for themselves. They punish you, and I think

388
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:11.039
they should take the attorney's fees provision
out of it because it punishes people.

389
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.160
So I do too. If you
go to court, let's just say they

390
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.920
won't settle. I need to ask. I just want to talk about some

391
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.319
really hard facts right after this.
Okay'd you just hang on? Do I

392
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.079
I owe break, don't I?
Shannon? All right? Just hang on

393
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:33.440
three oh three seven one three eight
two five five. Hi, Tom Martino,

394
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.720
your troubleshoot your three O three seven
one three talk seven one three eight

395
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:40.599
two five five. I'm going to
go back to that town home to the

396
00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:44.240
HOA thing shortly. But I want
to go to Diane. She had an

397
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.559
issue with a car that she just
has, an old ninety four Dodge Ram.

398
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.920
I sent her for a second opinion
to Jesse Schillinger over at Honest,

399
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:57.319
Accurate Auto in Colorado Springs. Good
people and we trust them, and I

400
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.160
wanted to know is it a throttle
body? That's what somebody recommended? And

401
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:07.240
Jesse, what did you find?
That's a good question because I don't know

402
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.720
if I looked at this. What's
the last name of the customer? Oh,

403
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:14.079
I'm sorry, Maybe I was just
going to get you on. Yeah

404
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:16.640
that's true. Yeah, Yeah,
we're going to bring Yeah, we're bringing

405
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:22.079
on as an expert. I'm sorry, okay, And we already did have

406
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.359
somewhat of an expert opinion. She
has a ninety four Dodge Ram truck.

407
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:31.440
It started up one day but did
not move. And when she presses on

408
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:37.799
the gas, it doesn't rev the
engine. It simply doesn't move, but

409
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.640
to one mile or two mile an
hour, no matter what she does.

410
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.640
So when she presses harder on the
gas, it still doesn't rev, but

411
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:51.400
it doesn't move faster. And somebody
tested to her that it might be a

412
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:55.799
throttle body. Is that right,
Diane, Yes, it doesn't even move.

413
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.799
In other words, if you keep
pressing the gas, it eventually just

414
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:02.599
and then you have to restart it
and does the same thing. And how

415
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:07.440
much did they quote for that throttle
body. Well, I'm calling my internet

416
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:12.200
places and stuff, and they're talking
three four hundred dollars. I just don't

417
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.319
have it. I'm a senior citizen. But that's a cheap that's a cheap

418
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.519
price. What we were gonna find
out is a price on that Jesse.

419
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:21.359
But we're running out of time.
I simply don't have the time. I

420
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.799
can get you right back and we'll
call you back. So you don't have

00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:31.319

oh three two three three forty two
forty seven. Okay, now we have

437
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:55.280
Premiere Window cleaning and pressure washing with
us. And I have a few questions.

438
00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.199
Somebody wanted to know, and we're
going to go to Wai chat and

439
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:02.519
then I go right to my They
want to know how much is this you?

440
00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:07.159
You do window washing? But you
have this this solution that's pretty damn

441
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.960
cool that you developed and with the
help of the chemist, and right now

442
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.639
you sell that to people. So
once you do their windows, they can

443
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.480
stay on top of it and it
almost does a ceramic kind of bead coating

444
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:21.800
on the window to help keep it
clean. How much do you guys charge

445
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.239
for that? Somebody wants to know. Yeah, so it's fifteen ninety nine.

446
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:28.280
And that's where do they get a
concentration for that? Yeah, it's

447
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:32.280
a concentration. It's a sixteen ounce
bottle. They can probably make forty buckets

448
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:36.440
of this. Oh wow, So
I mean there's there's quite a bit there

449
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:40.840
and it's cheap. Yep, fifteen
ninety nine okay, And they apply it

450
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:45.320
like with soft cloths, yep,
soft cloth. Uh. One needs to

451
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:50.000
be damped, one needs to be
dry, wash on the wet one,

452
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:53.840
wash on wash off exactly, wash
on white off like the karate kid.

453
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:57.639
All right, now, let's go
let's go to the phones now again and

454
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:01.039
uh, we're gonna go to Connie
and Connie, this is an hoa problem.

455
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:08.000
By the way, I was just
texted some information here on something that

456
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:14.400
says attorney's fees aren't always awarded in
mediation, but they're supposed to keep costs

457
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:21.400
down. But you know, I'm
a little I don't understand how it's binding.

458
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:25.079
Did they sign something at the very
end of buying the mediation? Let's

459
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:30.199
figure this out. Okay, let's
figure it out. Connie, did you

460
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:35.280
sign anything saying before, no,
you would sign that before? It was

461
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:39.679
this binding arbitration by the way,
And was it arbitration or was it mediation?

462
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:45.400
Oh, that's true? What was
it? It was mediation? Well,

463
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.840
mediation doesn't make an order? Was
it arbitrarate? Like? Is there

464
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:52.760
an order somewhere? I mean,
did they order you to pay this or

465
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.760
suggested it? Generally? With mediation
the ones I've gone to, and there's

466
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.760
been more than you could imagine.
You sit and you discuss everything. If

467
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:06.199
you come to an arrangement, then
it's written up by the mediator, everybody

468
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.840
signs it, then the judge signs
off. That's right, correct, yees,

469
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:16.000
and is that what you did?
We did the zoom thing. Well,

470
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:21.239
I understand this, but here's what
I'm asking you. It's very simple.

471
00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:30.159
Did you sign an agreement prior to
the mediation either or did you did

472
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:37.280
you sign anything prior saying the outcome
would be binding? I have to find

473
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:42.199
that fable work. Did you sign
anything at all anything? Did you sign

474
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:45.719
anything before mediation? Yes? I
did, because I have Okay, we

475
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:50.639
need we need to have somebody look
at that. Did you sign anything after

476
00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:58.320
mediation? No? I have not. Okay. I suspect that possibly what

477
00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:01.840
you signed ahead of time was a
binding agreement. It could have been.

478
00:38:01.880 --> 00:38:05.480
I don't know. I don't know
yet. Okay, So you hang on

479
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:09.840
and we'll figure it out. But
you got to send that to us.

480
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.800
But here's what I'm going to say. Okay, And I just wanted to

481
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:21.800
hit people between the eyes with reality
for a reason. Time after time,

482
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:30.280
laws come before the legislature in this
state trying to curtail the powers of management

483
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:40.360
companies hoas and attorneys for hoas,
and it's usually defeated, which, by

484
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:50.840
the way, it baffles me because
in a legislative climate with all mostly Democrats,

485
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:57.000
normally and I'm not taking sides with
Democrats or Republicans. I'm speaking fact

486
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.559
normally, with this kind of a
government that we have now in Colorado,

487
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:06.599
they're more pro the little guy than
they are the big guy. Most of

488
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:09.920
the time. They make, in
fact, ridiculous laws sometimes for the little

489
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:16.599
guy. And you would think that
they would be pro curtailing or they would

490
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:25.280
before curtailing the powers of hoa's and
management companies and helping homeowners, but for

491
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:31.119
some reason they have not done it, which leads me to believe that they're

492
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:38.039
in the pockets of hoa's and attorneys
and management companies. We stand the HOA

493
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:43.440
man who fights for HOA members all
the time he's on and he says,

494
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:47.840
Tom, we can't hardly, we
can hardly get anything passed for the consumer,

495
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.559
for the homeowner. So here's what, having said all of that,

496
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:58.119
I want. I hope people will
get involved with their legislature and find out

497
00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:01.000
what laws are there, and then
communicate with their representatives on what they want

498
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:05.920
or don't want, because right now
there are several bills people need to know

499
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:08.480
about. More on that later,
but right now, Mary, here's what

500
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:14.079
I'm going to ask you. If
there was an esay, Oh not Mary,

501
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:16.199
I'm sorry. I got to get
your right call here and I want

502
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:21.239
to talk about what just happened to
you. Okay, So Connie, what

503
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:27.159
we need to know is this.
Let's say that you did sign barn binding

504
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:31.320
arbitration or that you do have an
award sitting out there they want you to

505
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:37.960
pay of nine thousand dollars. Let's
say, okay, now, if you

506
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:40.159
can't pay it, you don't want
to pay it. What do you think

507
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:45.880
will happen? B put alen on
my home? That's right? Then what

508
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:53.599
do you think will happen? I'm
not sure. I mean, they're going

509
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:59.280
to foreclose home, my home.
They're going to foreclose. You're going to

510
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:05.880
lose your home. You do understand
that they hold all the cards if if

511
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:10.440
truly you don't win, they hold
all the cards rest and every time you

512
00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:15.079
fight them, it adds to your
bill. See that is what I hate

513
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:21.679
about HOA battles. Every time you
fight them, it adds to your bill,

514
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:25.760
whether you win or lose. By
the way, whether you win or

515
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:32.800
lose, did you know that?
Yeah? So maybe and I'm not suggesting

516
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:38.599
you do it, but maybe it
might be considered that you try to get

517
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:46.159
a second or something and settle with
them. Right. Well, like I

518
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:50.559
said, I did call him and
I did present it. I was going

519
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:58.039
to email him this morning. But
the question that before I ever forget I

520
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.239
pay into an HOA. We pay
our ho fees every month. Right,

521
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:06.920
My question is there is a lawyer
where we pay for a lawyer to be

522
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:15.199
on retainer through our hi as.
Right, does that have any effect on

523
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:19.039
I mean, I've literally repaid that. You don't pay. You don't pay

524
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.400
for the attorney unless they build time. There might be you have to repay

525
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:28.360
a retainer fee in our HOA duties. No, I don't. I don't

526
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:30.719
think and if you do, by
the ways, for normal business, what

527
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:35.559
the law firm has done, they
take a look at the HOA. They

528
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:37.679
took a take a look and have
it come up with a retainer to keep

529
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:40.320
them on retained. Truly, I'm
going to tell you this, when it

530
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:44.800
comes to attorneys, they're not gonna
they're not going to manipulate. Normally,

531
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.880
it's going to be a retainer paid
to their trust fund and drawn against.

532
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.880
But when a specific problem comes up, it's hourly. I'm sure the contract

533
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:57.199
says all of that. Connie if
you're going to try to attack the fact

534
00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:59.800
that you all pay and you shouldn't
have to pay again, it's not going

535
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:02.000
to work. Okay, I'm just
going to short circuit that. I'm trying

536
00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:06.519
to save you time and money.
It's not going to work unless you're dealing

537
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:10.760
truly with one hundred percent crooks and
thieves. And I know people will automatically

538
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:14.360
well I am, I am in
this case, it is, but it

539
00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:17.920
isn't. Most of the time.
They're they're abusive, they're ridiculous. I

540
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:22.320
can't stand them. But they're not
liars and thieves. Okay, they're just

541
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:30.400
manipulating the law. So I think
you're caught. And what you need to

542
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:34.840
do is send us a copy of
anything you signed and we'll have our real

543
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:39.239
estate attorney take a look at it. Brian Burns is with Compass Insurance Group.

544
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:43.880
They do, by the way,
free insurance checkups for the asking which

545
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:47.159
can keep you, which is a
good deal, by the way, And

546
00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:51.320
Brian Burns three h three nine ninety
six nine thousand, I'd like to ask

547
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:55.840
you a question, Brian. Yeah, we have a situation I want to

548
00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:04.239
go back to, and this is
with Romie. He has a situation with

549
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:08.639
disability insurance. Are you familiar with
disability insurance for business? You don't write

550
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:13.039
disability insurance, but well, I'll
do my best to try to out,

551
00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:17.320
but you're familiar with how they usually
are written. This is short term.

552
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:28.719
So they're telling him that he added
employees in twenty twenty three, right in

553
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:32.199
twenty twenty three, And what they're
telling him is, oh, no,

554
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.719
actually they started I'm sorry, they
started working for him in twenty twenty three.

555
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:45.039
However he didn't report it and add
them to the policy officially until this

556
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:51.280
year. Now they're saying, well, what was their start date? And

557
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:58.079
they went back to the start date
they went ninety days forward, which is

558
00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:00.840
a grace period. They don't allow
people to have disability in the first ninety

559
00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.280
and then then said to them,
well, you're going to have to pay

560
00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:08.760
from that date forward. And Rommy
said, but why I just added them

561
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:15.239
to the policy now, and their
disability agent is saying, no, once

562
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.239
they start working ninety days later,
they're covered. I have a feeling they

563
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:25.320
have a blanket contract that even though
Rommy doesn't think they're named on the policy,

564
00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:30.599
the fact that they're a full time
employee makes them covered. Have you

565
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:35.320
seen policies like that, Yes,
And that makes absolute sense to me.

566
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:39.719
If if that's how it works in
there as far as how their their culture

567
00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:45.360
or their company policy is that,
then they would be on the hook even

568
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.519
if they haven't added them yet,
they're on the hook if something happens,

569
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:53.000
So they're always going to go back
to that that a higher date plus ninety.

570
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:58.880
See, Rommy, that's what I
was suspecting. I'm not saying that's

571
00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:01.519
the case with you, but if
you look at your master contract, I

572
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:09.119
have a feeling you have a blanket
policy that covers your people ninety days after

573
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:14.639
they're hired. And and Brian correct
me if I'm wrong. Aren't there other

574
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:19.079
kinds of like workers compets, of
other kinds of policies written that way?

575
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:22.079
Exactly? That's exactly what I was
going to say. And it actually is

576
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:27.920
protecting the business owner because if he
doesn't remember to go add employees when he

577
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:30.360
hires them and they have a loss, he doesn't want to be responsible for

578
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:36.000
these things. It protects the business
owner in a sense. But you know,

579
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:37.599
in this case, he's that he's
going to have to pay the premium

580
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.760
because they were covered. I mean, I don't know that. I'm god,

581
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:45.400
no, no, no, that's
what we're assuming. Is that possible.

582
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:49.480
I'm going to ask our caller now, Ronnie, is that possible?

583
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:55.239
Yeah, I mean that's probably what
it is. But you're not going to

584
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:58.639
get out. You're not going to
get out of it unless you cancel the

585
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:00.840
policy. Well, I don't even
think to get out of it. Will

586
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:06.000
still come after cancel the policy.
Here's the problem, Ronnie, here's the

587
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:10.559
problem. So many people say,
why am I paying retroactively? We had

588
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:16.559
no claims, But the point is
they had exposure, and insurance gets paid

589
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:28.400
for exposure even though there were no
claims. It's like taking your car insurance.

590
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:32.840
If I went to Brian and said, Brian, I haven't had insurance

591
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:37.719
in so long, excuse me a
claim in so long? I want a

592
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.079
refund of my premiums. I mean, they're not going to do that because

593
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:44.800
they had exposure. Who was talking? I'm sorry, was it you Brian

594
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:50.400
or Rommie? Did you want to
make a point? Brian? Go ahead?

595
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:57.039
Whenever someone buys a is he cutting
in and out? Is that what's

596
00:47:57.079 --> 00:48:01.639
going on here? Shannon? Help
me out here? Chatting? Well,

597
00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:07.719
okay, I'm not hearing but every
other word, Yeah, if I can

598
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:09.639
jump in real quickly, I know, And this is kind of what I

599
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:14.920
was afraid of, Tom, But
I contested that once I found out what

600
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:16.559
it was, and I said,
well, we weren't even sure because of

601
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:21.039
the other problems we were having with
short term disability, and they had canceled

602
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:23.480
our policy of the year before that
we were going to continue with them,

603
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:27.159
and that you know, we finally
got that resolved, and then they back,

604
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:29.880
you know, we've got to build
for one thousand dollars, and I'm

605
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:31.840
like, you know, if that
would have made sense, I said,

606
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:35.639
we'll go three months back, you
know, or you can just start.

607
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:37.519
But you don't get to rewrite the
policy. You don't get to rewrite the

608
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.639
contract. Ronnie, I want to
ask you a question. Why are you

609
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:46.159
offering short term disability to employees.
That's almost a ticket to have them take

610
00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:52.360
time off. Yeah, well it
was as a klingon. We started a

611
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:59.320
business with a partner and we had
had short term disability. I just want

612
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:01.960
you to know something, company,
business owners, business owners, that we

613
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:06.440
got break. Brother, Okay,
let's take this break, and then I'm

614
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:12.079
going to tell you business owners find
it a scourge more right after this,

615
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:22.079
Hi, Tom Martino three oh three
seven one three talks seven one three eight

616
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:29.079
two five five. Okay, so
we will go to the phones now once

617
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:36.519
again, and we have let's see
I think Brian, let's go back to

618
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:40.840
you, Brian, with coverages.
You were going to say something on these

619
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:45.559
coverages, go ahead, I think
we were well, I was just going

620
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:49.280
to reinforce was then to reinforce the
same thing you were saying. It's like

621
00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:52.679
when people call, you know,
to tell me that they need to add

622
00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:54.440
a car and they and I ask, okay, what date did you purchase

623
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:57.760
it? And it was, you
know, three weeks ago. I say,

624
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:00.360
okay, well they're going to add
it on as of the date you

625
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.559
bought it. And sometimes people are
frustrated because they said, well but I

626
00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:06.920
haven't had any claims. But the
point is if you did, it would

627
00:50:06.960 --> 00:50:08.760
be covered. So they always go
back to the date that you purchased at

628
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:15.880
exactly. So romy did you want
to make any Do you have any other

629
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:22.119
questions? No? Do you think
you know both think that we're going to

630
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:24.639
need to pay it. That's fine. I'll take your advice. If your

631
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:32.159
contract says that they're automatically covered when
they hit employment plus ninety, then yes

632
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:37.199
they were covered. Yeah. But
the part that this irritates me is,

633
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:42.360
remember I think I told you they
had terminated our short term disability, which

634
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.920
was the only part of the insurance
I wanted. I thought, like the

635
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:49.480
dickens to get it added back on, and then they tried, if it

636
00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:52.199
was terminated, you don't have to
pay for any period that was terminated.

637
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:57.039
But you said you had more than
disability with them, So are they charging

638
00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:00.039
you for other stuff as well?
The life? Yes, they're charging me

639
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:05.880
for the short term disability and the
life. But then again they're going back

640
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:08.559
to April. I'm blast you.
Here's what I'm asking. Here's just one

641
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:17.760
question on those employees in question.
Where they went back retroactively? Was the

642
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:29.199
disability policy in effect when they re
established the short term disability policy after they

643
00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:32.679
terminated it, they you know,
it went back past April. So yes,

644
00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:39.159
but everything again was retroactive. I
just asked here, all that matters

645
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:47.239
if that short term disability policy was
in effect, and if those employees were

646
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:52.880
covered under that plan, you need
to pay for it. Okay, It's

647
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:57.519
that simple. If they weren't,
if you didn't have a policy you don't

648
00:51:57.559 --> 00:52:00.360
have to pay for it, Brian, thank you very much much. By

649
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:01.760
the way, if you need any
insurance help, that's three or three nine

650
00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:07.039
nine six nine thousand, including a
free insurance check up three or three nine

651
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:09.440
ninety six nine thousand. I want
to go to uh Rick, who's been

652
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:13.840
waiting a while? Rick, what's
going on with you? By Tom?

653
00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:19.920
Thank you? I got a stupid
question for you regarding a LGTV. Okay,

654
00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:22.559
I's two years old. What's happening? Is? How old is it?

655
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:28.519
Rick? How old? Like?
Two years? It's got it.

656
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:32.119
It's a smart TV, big nice
one whatever. When I turn it on,

657
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:37.239
the little red light blinks on the
bottom, and then anywhere from ten

658
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:40.639
to a half hour, I'll hear
a do do do do do, and

659
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:45.519
the TV comes on and it works
just great. Wait a minute, I

660
00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:47.760
can't when you turn it on with
your remote it takes that long to come

661
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:54.320
on. Yeah what Yeah, Yeah, it's really weird. I even called

662
00:52:54.480 --> 00:53:00.760
LG and they don't have a clue
what's going on. I've so you.

663
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:06.000
So you turn the TV on and
all you see is that red light blinking

664
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:12.519
right. That's correct now and the
screen's black right, And then you put

665
00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:15.119
down the remote and walk away,
and it comes on ten minutes later.

666
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:24.559
Ken, this morning, it was
a half hour later. Yes, okay.

667
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:30.639
But when you when you first turn
it on and it doesn't come on,

668
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:36.840
what do you do? Do you
click it again? Well? I

669
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:39.559
did it first when it first started, but now I don't because I know

670
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:47.440
I have to wait now, Like
it could be it could be a lapse

671
00:53:47.559 --> 00:53:55.800
in your broadband. Really is it
connected to your wireless or is it wired?

672
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:06.119
It is nicked too. Wired with
a with a Cat five cable?

673
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:10.840
No, with the with the co
x. Oh oh, oh, so

674
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:16.000
you have Do you have Comcast?
No? I have Expinity? Okay,

675
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:21.039
okay, so you which which is
kind of the same. So so it's

676
00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:25.440
coacts. Your cable comes in through
the coax Is that right? That's correct?

677
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:29.639
Okay, here's what I want to
ask you. If you discourge,

678
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:34.920
does this happen every time you turn
your TV on? Yes? That doesn't

679
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:38.119
sound right. Then okay, have
you rebooted? I got four others?

680
00:54:38.599 --> 00:54:43.280
Yeah, but here's what I want. Oh and they all come on immediately.

681
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:46.559
Yeah, okay, then then forget
what I was going to say.

682
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:52.559
Okay, dang, yeah, Tom, maybe your listeners might have a clue.

683
00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:54.599
You know what, let's put Let's
put it out there and put it

684
00:54:54.599 --> 00:54:59.679
out on my text as well.
People can text it. Text us at

685
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:02.599

Tom in the message. Do you know

686
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:09.159
what I would like to know if
anyone has had this problem? Okay,

687
00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:13.880
so hang on three oh three seven
to one three talk. I'm gonna put

688
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:19.639
that question out. Uh does anyone
have a delayed in their LGTV turning on

689
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:25.679
after they click the remote? I
can't imagine if we'll have some people with

690
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:30.239
ideas, So just continue listening on
that and we'll figure it. We'll try

691
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:34.679
to figure it out. Three oh

00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:17.719
com three oh three nines are A
four two thousand. Hi Tom Martino,

700
00:56:19.920 --> 00:56:22.280
your troubleshooter three three seven to one
to three talk. We have plenty of

701
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:27.800
people that want to weigh in on
this LG issue. The guy says,

702
00:56:27.800 --> 00:56:31.920
he clicks the remote, the red
light blinks, but the TV doesn't come

703
00:56:31.960 --> 00:56:35.800
on for ten or fifteen minutes.
Then it comes on and works fine.

704
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:40.679
Now I'm getting texts, and some
texts say could be a firmware update he

705
00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:46.400
needs, and somebody else says it
could be the remote needs batteries. I

706
00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:50.519
don't know why that would matter.
Why would it take ten minutes? A

707
00:56:50.639 --> 00:56:53.960
power supply could be going bad.
It's gotta be user error. So John,

708
00:56:54.079 --> 00:57:00.239
what do you think? John,
You've got an idea? Jeez,

709
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:04.920
can you hear me? Yes?
Sir? Hey, So, I used

710
00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:07.840
to fix TVs for a living,
and n LG's probably one of the cheaper

711
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:12.719
parts inside of those TVs. They
call it the PC board PCB. Those

712
00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:16.199
things are notorious for having botched firmware
updates. You can get a flash drive

713
00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:21.880
and try and manually get that off
of their website, but if it's consistently

714
00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:25.719
happening, and it's getting longer every
time. Everything's controlled by that board inside

715
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:30.119
of the TV. So probably going
to need to end up replacing that part.

716
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:34.679
And depending on the size and the
costs of the TV, it's going

717
00:57:34.719 --> 00:57:37.480
to be more expensive to repair it
than it would be too. Now,

718
00:57:37.480 --> 00:57:40.320
how do you know this? I
fixed TVs for a living. I worked

719
00:57:40.320 --> 00:57:45.880
for Geeksquad, I did repairs for
so okay and so so that part.

720
00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:50.320
Do you know? What it costs? Depends on the TV and the size

721
00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:52.519
of the television. If it's a
lesser model, they're fit one hundred to

722
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:57.280
one hundred and fifty bucks. Some
of their more high endtvs it could be

723
00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:00.800
two fifty to three fifty. And
how long does it take to replace it?

724
00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:04.440
By a couple of screws come off
the back of the TV, and

725
00:58:04.480 --> 00:58:07.000
if you're technologically inclined, you can
fix it in about an hour. And

726
00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:13.239
what is the part called. It's
called the PCB or PC board. And

727
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:17.400
is it just for the remote?
No, it's it's for the television itself.

728
00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:21.960
The remote has nothing to do with
it. Just so if he went

729
00:58:22.039 --> 00:58:25.079
up and hit the power button,
the same thing would happen. It should

730
00:58:25.199 --> 00:58:29.519
should have the same effect. Yeah, thank you, John, I appreciate

731
00:58:29.559 --> 00:58:32.000
your information. Let's talk to Jim, he says he might have an answer.

732
00:58:32.039 --> 00:58:36.679
Go ahead, Jim, Well,
hello there Tom. What it is

733
00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:39.000
is it probably in the power supply
board, But think I was talking about

734
00:58:39.079 --> 00:58:45.199
the PCB is called the power supply
and the capacitors go weak on those and

735
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:52.960
corrupt the DC voltage to all the
digital stuff ah to be delayed and coming

736
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:57.760
on, so it's not reading the
digital information correctly. So what it is.

737
00:58:57.840 --> 00:59:00.880
It's called the power supply. About
one hundred dollars is about right for

738
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:06.679
a part, and it just requires
taking the back off. It's generally right

739
00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:09.159
in the middle of the TV and
you just pop it off, plugging you

740
00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:13.000
one in and it should be good
to go. Wow. Do you do

741
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:16.119
repairs to Jim? Yes, sir, I do. Who do you do

742
00:59:16.199 --> 00:59:21.719
it for? I do it for
myself. I'm a self. I worked

743
00:59:21.719 --> 00:59:24.119
for Circuit City for many years before
they went out of went out of business

744
00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:29.079
or bankrupt. But yeah, I've
been you know circuit City. I had

745
00:59:29.119 --> 00:59:32.360
a nickname for Circuit City. I
bet you what was it. Well,

746
00:59:32.559 --> 00:59:37.159
let's put it this way. I
can't say it on radio. I got

747
00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:42.679
you second word rhymed with City.
Yeah. They were pretty bad on the

748
00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:47.400
on the associate side as well.
They were pretty messed up. Company Circuit

749
00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:52.840
City. Yeah. Okay, Hey, Jim, what do you have your

750
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:58.840
own company that you do TV repairs? Oh? I did. I don't

751
00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:01.840
do it anymore. I'm kind of
tired, okay, but I did all

752
01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:06.480
kinds of work for high definition television
and stuff like that, and it would

753
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:09.360
be nice to know somebody, yeah, a referral list who does stuff like

754
01:00:09.440 --> 01:00:13.760
that, because you know, people
don't want to just drop something off at

755
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:19.880
the squad. Go ahead, give
listeners some information real quick on all these

756
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:23.079
digital things, like all the new
stuff, all the digital stereos and televisions.

757
01:00:23.519 --> 01:00:29.320
When you start having intermittent weird problems
like that, it's generally a capacitor

758
01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:35.960
that's going bad in a power supply
and dry up and go bad over time

759
01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:39.760
or overheat. And once you replace
those, I bitch, I'd go over

760
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:44.280
that guy's house and replace a couple
of caps in this power supply board,

761
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:46.880
take it to a component level,
and about about a being I'd have that

762
01:00:46.960 --> 01:00:52.679
TV up and running. Jim,
I see, the days of having people

763
01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:55.679
that can do this are going away. Oh I know I'm pretty rare breed,

764
01:00:55.719 --> 01:01:00.239
aren't I? Yes, you are
honest to goodness. Thanks Jim appreciated.

John, Sorry for the wait. What's

775
01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:52.039
going on with you? John?
Which? Johnny? You talking about you?

776
01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:57.320
Okay? How much of the letter
that I sent to your station did

777
01:01:57.400 --> 01:01:59.719
you read? Or should I just
go over the whole story again? Well,

778
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:01.920
just because we have a radio show
and we like people to hear in

779
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:06.360
case they have similar problems, I'd
like you to just tell us your story

780
01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:09.920
and then I'll ask questions. Okay, I had a three and a half

781
01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:15.239
year old bull Terrier and I had
a normal vet here and in the morning

782
01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:20.599
he was growing up at four o'clock, so I went, he was how

783
01:02:20.679 --> 01:02:22.360
old? How old? You say? He was three and a half?

784
01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:27.519
Okay, got it and perfectly health
yeah, hard check, kidney checked,

785
01:02:27.559 --> 01:02:30.840
everything, stop not. So I
went on my normal vet and I saw

786
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:34.920
receptions I wasn't used to. She
said, well, why don't you go

787
01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:37.760
to your regular vet? And I
go, you guys are my regular vet,

788
01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:40.079
and she said, well, today's
surgery day. So she said,

789
01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:43.480
let's go. Why don't you go
to this other clinic. They used to

790
01:02:43.519 --> 01:02:45.480
own this clinic and it was a
referral. So I went down there.

791
01:02:45.760 --> 01:02:51.559
They called me about twelve o'clock and
they said, what's the name of the

792
01:02:51.639 --> 01:02:54.559
vet? Okay, did you actually
take your dog in? Yeah? I

793
01:02:54.639 --> 01:02:59.480
went to the referral and this is
about five minutes away, and I went

794
01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:00.639
there and I said, I yeah, he's been throwing up and he's eaten

795
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:06.519
grass and typical obstruction from what I've
heard. Because did you take the dog

796
01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:08.679
with you? Oh? Yeah?
Oh yeah, okay, so the dog

797
01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:12.360
you went to the vet with the
dog, and they examined the dog.

798
01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:15.960
Uh not at the first one.
They were so busy they couldn't No,

799
01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:17.559
I get that, bro, I
don't care about the first one. All

800
01:03:17.599 --> 01:03:21.719
I care about is the second,
the one that you did take it to

801
01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:24.000
a vet that examined your dog.
Right, yeah, okay. And I

802
01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:28.880
was work and they called me up
and they said we found nothing on the

803
01:03:29.079 --> 01:03:31.519
X ray, which is a big
buzzword right now. He said he probably

804
01:03:31.559 --> 01:03:35.960
has an upper gi irritation. They
gave him an anti nausea. I said,

805
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:37.360
how was He said, he was
fine, picked him up, he

806
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:42.079
was doing fine. Came home.
He was drinking water and then he was

807
01:03:42.199 --> 01:03:45.480
throwing everything up. He wouldn't take
his food. They gave me antibiox.

808
01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:47.519
He wouldn't take anything. So all
night he was thrown up. I put

809
01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:52.039
him in the crate. I got
him out of the crate and he could

810
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:54.400
barely get stanned getting out of the
cratey. This was the next day.

811
01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:59.039
This was yeah, this was the
next day, early, about six o'clock

812
01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:00.280
in the morning. I said,
we better get you to the vet.

813
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:03.840
So we got him in the vet. Went through a snowstorm out here.

814
01:04:04.039 --> 01:04:08.920
Did you go to the same vet
again exactly. They go ahead, and

815
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:13.280
so he talked to the front reception. I said, hey, he's not

816
01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:15.159
doing well right, and they said, well, we'll try to get him

817
01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:18.199
into that. I said, you
need to get him somebody out right now.

818
01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:21.039
So I don't know if he's going
to make it. Got the appointment,

819
01:04:21.800 --> 01:04:25.440
so they said, well, let's
get your room. So I'm sitting

820
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:28.119
there about five minutes. Get a
room. Go out to the car which

821
01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:30.960
is right in front of the door, open up the door, and he's

822
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:35.519
dead in the car. Oh my
god, Oh no, what happened.

823
01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:42.840
So it's been a rough week,
little level. Oh oh my goodness.

824
01:04:43.199 --> 01:04:45.079
And listen, I know how important
that could be. So when you went

825
01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:48.519
out to the car, he was
dead. Yeah, he had died on

826
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:51.559
We think he died on the road
down there. It was about a half

827
01:04:51.639 --> 01:04:56.639
hour drive. And I said,
I yelled at it. I said,

828
01:04:56.679 --> 01:05:00.920
I think he just died. And
so doctor came out put the cepiscope on

829
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:03.719
him, and then she said she
shook her head, so try like a

830
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:11.079
baby. And so I talked to
my other it's a big bull terrier group.

831
01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:16.519
So what we figured out is the
X ray only the text hard objects,

832
01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:19.719
bone anything, allick stone, things
like that. If a dog eats

833
01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:23.599
the stone, that's that's he'll pick
it up. They didn't do a barium,

834
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:28.599
which is they give a dog barium
and then they l's that's for intestinal

835
01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:31.199
blocks. Yes, yes, and
they could find it out on the X

836
01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:34.719
ray, but they didn't. They
didn't do a barium, and they didn't

837
01:05:34.840 --> 01:05:40.840
do an ultrasound because they're quote unquote
untrained on how to do an ultrasound for

838
01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:45.280
obstructions. And it was an interested
disaster because they didn't even give me the

839
01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:49.559
option of would you like us to
keep them overnight and observe them and see

840
01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:53.920
if we'd have to maybe do an
emergency surgery on them? Do you want

841
01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:58.679
to basically go to a better vet
who can see thoftruc Because it was what

842
01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:01.119
they did while I was there,
She said should we find out what it

843
01:06:01.360 --> 01:06:04.239
was? And I said, yeah, go ahead. So they opened them

844
01:06:04.320 --> 01:06:09.199
up in the other room and they
found the obstruction. They didn't open it

845
01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:11.000
up. They didn't tell me what
it was. They said they didn't want

846
01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:13.119
to. It's kind of an unclean
thing of doing in the middle of the

847
01:06:13.199 --> 01:06:16.280
room. So anyway, what what
did it turn out to? Be it

848
01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:19.199
was some kind of it could have
been a part of a toy or something.

849
01:06:19.280 --> 01:06:23.800
But he wasn't much of a cheer
and I never never thought about that.

850
01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:27.599
Well when I was so he had
a blockage, right, yeah,

851
01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:31.840
he had a It wasn't an GI
obstruction. It was a blockage that they

852
01:06:31.960 --> 01:06:35.239
used an X ray to fine,
didn't find it. Sent me off.

853
01:06:35.679 --> 01:06:39.239
Well hold on and I get it, bro, you got and then you

854
01:06:39.360 --> 01:06:43.159
came back. They in the autopsy
they found it. They found it.

855
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:47.239
Yes, But here's what I want
to know. Under normal circumstances, right,

856
01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:53.440
would an X ray show it?
No? What would they have had

857
01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:58.159
to do to find it. They
would have had to have somebody who was

858
01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:02.400
qualified to use an ultrasound, not
like these ultrasounds for fetles they check for

859
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:06.360
puppy numbers and help and things like
that. But I asked the doctor who

860
01:07:06.440 --> 01:07:11.800
owned ron wait, wait, wait, wait, John, I need we

861
01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:15.840
need to get deeper into this.
You're you're kind of there's certain things you're

862
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:19.519
glossing over that I need clarification for. I want you to hang on because

863
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:26.559
there's a fine line between malpractice and
not and then also there's a question of

864
01:07:26.679 --> 01:07:30.840
damages. So hang on. I'm
Tom Martine more coming up and I heard

865
01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:33.280
Deputy Doc wanted to chime in as
well. Three O three seven one three

866
01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:47.880
eight two five five. Yeah,
RiPP you need advice? Who you don't

867
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:56.280
have the come run into sustas as
we can. So shoot is gonna help

868
01:07:56.559 --> 01:08:03.280
come. This is the Trouble Show. No Tom Martino time, Tom Martino

869
01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:06.519
here. Welcome to the show.
Three zero three seven one three talk seven

870
01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:11.079
one three eight two five five.
We're here to help you solve problems,

871
01:08:11.119 --> 01:08:14.440
answer question, take complaints, prepare
window cleaning, pressure washing guests today,

872
01:08:14.480 --> 01:08:16.560
we do have some questions on the
pressure washing part. Do you even bother

873
01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:20.199
doing pressure washing during the winter?
They want to know what is there to

874
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:24.600
do? We operate twenty four seven, three hundred and sixty five days out

875
01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:28.359
of okay, So what is the
What is the benefit of pressure washing parking

876
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:30.960
lots, for example, I mean
it's pretty obvious pobby to people that own

877
01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:35.359
parking lots and management companies. Is
it What is the main reason they do

878
01:08:35.439 --> 01:08:39.479
it? Is it for pedestrians or
cars or what? It's mainly just to

879
01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:42.840
get all the debris out of there
as that builds up over years and years

880
01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:45.760
and years of driving on all the
dirt stuff like that builds up on the

881
01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:48.680
ground. Everything has to be maintenance
at one point or not. When you

882
01:08:48.760 --> 01:08:53.199
do pressure washing, do you do
it primarily for commercial parking lots? Is

883
01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:56.279
that your main Yeah? So we
do a lot a lot of parking garages

884
01:08:56.319 --> 01:09:00.119
throughout the year, parking garages,
parking lots. What about buildings themselves?

885
01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:03.720
Yeah, so we also washed buildings
as well. We're getting ready bring some

886
01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:06.960
drone technology and so we can go
up and do like thirty story buildings and

887
01:09:08.119 --> 01:09:10.760
wash the buildings down in Denver and
stuff. Wouldn't that wait a minute?

888
01:09:11.079 --> 01:09:14.159
So the drone would like pick the
hose up? Yeah, so we actually

889
01:09:14.199 --> 01:09:16.600
brought one in. Yes, we
brought one in last year and we we

890
01:09:16.720 --> 01:09:20.600
did the whole va out in Aurora. So you have to fly the drone.

891
01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:25.279
And what I want to know is
how does that drone resist the pressure?

892
01:09:26.600 --> 01:09:29.199
I would not be able to answer
that, but it does it does

893
01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:30.960
it? So you were able to
take a drone up the side of a

894
01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:35.600
building while spraying high pressure? Yes, no, Mark, did you know

895
01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:41.319
that? I did not? How
would it? How would it resist the

896
01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:44.199
pressure? Doesn't that sound like it
has to be one hell of a strong

897
01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:47.640
drone. Yeah, I think it
like half. What's that mark? I

898
01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:51.520
mean, doc, I said it
overcame Newton's third law of motion except for

899
01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:56.319
every action is in opposite reaction,
right, it has to be more powerful

900
01:09:56.399 --> 01:10:00.640
than the reaction. But what about
thank you captain obviously going to change his

901
01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:05.880
name by the way, though it
truly is remarkable the drone technology. Do

902
01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:09.279
you have that now? Yeah,
so we have it right now. We're

903
01:10:09.319 --> 01:10:13.199
working on being able to object solutions
and stuff. So wait a minute,

904
01:10:13.279 --> 01:10:15.640
not only is it carrying the damn
wand, but you have to have the

905
01:10:15.720 --> 01:10:19.920
hose almost be like a light a
lighter weight hose, right, Yeah,

906
01:10:19.960 --> 01:10:25.039
so we use an ultra light hose. It weighs nearly nothing. So when

907
01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:27.920
we fill the wand is pretty light
too. Yeah. Yeah, so it's

908
01:10:27.960 --> 01:10:30.840
no, the one's actually built into
the machine. It just yeah, it

909
01:10:30.960 --> 01:10:33.960
just has a little nozzle thattually.
So you you hook the hose to the

910
01:10:34.079 --> 01:10:36.239
drone, yep, you look it
up to the bottom of it, it

911
01:10:36.359 --> 01:10:42.600
flies up and then it kind of
makes ain. No, Nope, it's

912
01:10:42.680 --> 01:10:45.720
pretty so we can so we can, we can maneuver it. However we

913
01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:48.119
can be we have to be about
ten foot off the building. So we

914
01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:51.520
just we just set the set the
height and just let it go from there.

915
01:10:51.680 --> 01:10:55.359
It's just really then it's automatic.
Yeah, it's really really cool.

916
01:10:55.520 --> 01:10:58.920
Oh man, I gotta see I
really have to see this. I didn't.

917
01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:01.199
I didn't even know they exist.
Yeah, try to give me an

918
01:11:01.279 --> 01:11:05.079
internet link to look at that.
I don't know if other people knew about

919
01:11:05.079 --> 01:11:08.039
it, Mark, have you?
He said he hadn't heard about it.

920
01:11:08.119 --> 01:11:11.199
Mark. Do you still fly your
drone? I haven't flown it for a

921
01:11:11.319 --> 01:11:15.119
while. No, I really have
it. Okay, now do you do

922
01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:18.560
Tyler? Do you do residential power
washing? And what would that be?

923
01:11:18.760 --> 01:11:25.439
Yes, we do driveway sidewalks,
patios. What else is there? Driveway

924
01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:30.039
sage, patios, garages, house
washes. So when you do the windows,

925
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:31.239
you can do all that. Yep. So we knock off all the

926
01:11:31.439 --> 01:11:33.960
all the dirt debris. We have
a lot of construction going on here in

927
01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:38.439
Colorado, so getting all that dirt
debris gunk off the side of the houses,

928
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:42.560
on the stucco, stuff like that. We use house washing Trust Premiere

929
01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:47.680
window dot com and that brings you
up pressure washing too or or denver Co

930
01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:55.800
pressure wash dot com and it's seven
to zero nine five three zero zero seven

931
01:11:55.840 --> 01:11:58.439
eight. I'm gonna put up a
link if people want to see that,

932
01:11:58.600 --> 01:12:00.760
though, Drone, I'd love to
see it. Now John wants to talk

933
01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:04.640
about his dog, and this is
sad. This is really sad, and

934
01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:11.560
we've had similar calls about stuff.
But a three year old bull terrier was

935
01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:15.439
throwing up. He took to a
vet. They didn't examine some x rays

936
01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:18.239
and said, we don't find anything. Here's some meds. He takes the

937
01:12:18.359 --> 01:12:25.560
dog home. The next day he
could hardly move or stand, so went

938
01:12:25.640 --> 01:12:28.960
back to the vet and the dog
died on the way apparently. And they

939
01:12:29.039 --> 01:12:35.680
did an autopsy and they found something
lodged where John just been. An intestinal

940
01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:41.960
track came now exactly. Now,
what I want to know is how would

941
01:12:42.000 --> 01:12:46.880
they have found it? Well,
usually you can tell this is doc talking,

942
01:12:46.920 --> 01:12:53.079
go ahead, Doc a block as
usually you can see on an X

943
01:12:53.199 --> 01:12:57.560
ray their patterns. Why did their
X rays not show it? I don't

944
01:12:57.600 --> 01:13:03.800
know. It might have been a
misinterpretation of the X ray. And you

945
01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:08.079
know, I'm just talked about any
humans. I don't well, I know,

946
01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:11.840
but it wouldn't be any different,
would John? You mentioned that?

947
01:13:12.199 --> 01:13:17.000
Here's what you mentioned you said an
X ray would not have shown an intestinal

948
01:13:17.079 --> 01:13:20.960
blockage. Who told you that,
No, a faft blockage. It's not

949
01:13:21.119 --> 01:13:25.560
dense enough for the X ray to
pick it up. That's why they would

950
01:13:25.640 --> 01:13:29.359
use barium to watch it go down
the intestinal track and watch it stop.

951
01:13:29.399 --> 01:13:31.920
And they said, but hold on, would it be okay? But do

952
01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:38.399
they if they do an X ray
and they can't see anything obvious, would

953
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:44.479
would normal standard of care call for
a barium? Yes? Yes? Why

954
01:13:44.760 --> 01:13:47.399
is our typical thing? Well,
because if they're if their their tools are

955
01:13:47.880 --> 01:13:56.399
multrasounds with a trained technician or doctor, X rays or basically an exploratory So

956
01:13:56.600 --> 01:14:01.840
you believe in a nutshell, the
VET did not go far enough in their

957
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:08.960
test in their diagnostics. And the
thing is that what I've been advised of

958
01:14:09.159 --> 01:14:11.760
is that he was He took the
Syrian, which I guess is an anti

959
01:14:11.920 --> 01:14:16.680
nausea farian, masked his nausea,
so he appeared to be everything I always

960
01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:19.520
thought thought he would be. And
then as soon as the Theian wore off,

961
01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:24.680
is when he started trying to drink
water, his nausea re emerged and

962
01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:28.960
he just couldn't hold anything down.
And that was something I was hoping that

963
01:14:29.560 --> 01:14:32.119
the option is that if you can't
handle. And I'm not trying to sound

964
01:14:32.159 --> 01:14:36.159
like a movie, but if they
were not able to do a full diagnostic

965
01:14:36.319 --> 01:14:41.199
on Jojo, then I would think
they would send me in tot an emergency

966
01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:44.119
care and say this is out of
our hands. X rays will only go

967
01:14:44.279 --> 01:14:46.399
so far, and they would have
set me off to mercy Clembic. I

968
01:14:46.439 --> 01:14:49.119
would have had him opened up.
Okay, what I'm going to do is

969
01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:55.479
take you at one percent, for
argument's sake, right, one hundred percent.

970
01:14:55.640 --> 01:15:00.119
Right, Let's say they didn't go
far enough and they didn't re for

971
01:15:00.279 --> 01:15:02.800
you, and they made a mistake. Let's just say that, Yeah,

972
01:15:03.119 --> 01:15:10.119
here's the major problem we have,
the major problem we have. What do

973
01:15:10.239 --> 01:15:15.840
you want? I knew you'd ask
me that. Okay, I was unaware

974
01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:19.359
of this particular situation. If I
would have sourced my other people, I

975
01:15:19.399 --> 01:15:23.479
probably would have been told, we're
not going to change the industry. Just

976
01:15:23.560 --> 01:15:26.119
so you know, we're not going
to change. Okay, and I don't

977
01:15:26.159 --> 01:15:29.920
want it, but I want people
who own dogs, who may have a

978
01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:32.000
cheer or a swallower to be aware
that when they hit the vet, that

979
01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:38.479
that there's options they need to go
through and not just basically to follow what

980
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:41.479
the VET said. Sometimes you,
obviously, with this situation, go with

981
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:45.239
your gut. Because that portal guy, he couldn't tell me where it was,

982
01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:47.159
He couldn't tell me what it was. So I should have gone and

983
01:15:47.279 --> 01:15:51.560
said, okay, I should have
known what they couldn't do, and then

984
01:15:51.600 --> 01:15:56.239
I should have left and gone to
emergency cress. But do you think that?

985
01:15:56.960 --> 01:16:00.439
And I'm not trying to bait you
because we have this discussion and when

986
01:16:00.520 --> 01:16:06.600
it comes to animals, they're considered
personal property and valued very low. Only

987
01:16:06.720 --> 01:16:12.640
one court recently, when I say
recently, within the last five or ten

988
01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:17.239
years, did rule an additional pain
and suffering damage, which is not common.

989
01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:23.840
But what I want to know,
what do you like? And again,

990
01:16:24.880 --> 01:16:29.079
you're not even trying to get damages? You know, Tom. The

991
01:16:29.159 --> 01:16:30.600
weird thing is that I go there
and I pay my three hundred and seventy

992
01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:35.560
one dollars on Tuesday for a bad
diagnostic, and then I drive him back

993
01:16:35.680 --> 01:16:40.319
because he didn't the right job.
They charged me three hundred and something of

994
01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:43.720
dollars for the cremation, and I'm
thinking, you know, you guys,

995
01:16:44.039 --> 01:16:46.720
Yeah, it's kind of nervy too. Okay, well did they did you

996
01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:54.319
ask at least for a courtesy credit? No, I have not asked for

997
01:16:54.399 --> 01:16:58.119
that. Well, we should ask
before we diss them. And you know,

998
01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:01.600
I think at the very least,
look, if they truly did screw

999
01:17:01.720 --> 01:17:04.479
up and it's beyond the standard of
care, if you could get another vet

1000
01:17:04.560 --> 01:17:09.560
to say automatically when a dog comes
in like this, we would have done

1001
01:17:09.560 --> 01:17:12.640
an X ray and then we would
have done it. Well, excuse me,

1002
01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:15.560
the X ray. Is barium is
an X ray ray, it's just

1003
01:17:15.640 --> 01:17:17.760
with the added barium. Is that
true, Doc? Or not? Oh?

1004
01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:21.760
Sorry, Yeah, that's true.
Okay, So so it's not that

1005
01:17:21.880 --> 01:17:27.600
they did the wrong disno procedure.
They didn't use barium. And is burium

1006
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:33.520
a highlighting fluid? Doc? Is
that what that is? It shows up

1007
01:17:33.560 --> 01:17:40.000
in the X ray? Doc?
Mark can you do the dissibulatorium shows up

1008
01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:45.520
as bright white when you swallow it, So you can trace the the the

1009
01:17:45.760 --> 01:17:49.800
course of the of the barium through
the intestinal track and see if it flows

1010
01:17:49.880 --> 01:17:55.199
all the way through or where it
stops, and if it stops or surrounds

1011
01:17:55.279 --> 01:18:00.439
something that could be a soft blockage. Absolutely, Okay, you know,

1012
01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:09.479
John, you should ask you know
what before we before we just dismissed this.

1013
01:18:10.279 --> 01:18:15.399
You should ask on the record a
few veterinarian veterinarians here and say,

1014
01:18:15.479 --> 01:18:19.479
look, is this normal standard of
care not to do the burier or would

1015
01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:23.640
you have done the bariu? If
you can get two other vets to say

1016
01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:27.359
we would have done barring. How
does Colorado see damages on a dog these

1017
01:18:27.439 --> 01:18:30.239
days? Well, I'm not That's
not where I'm going right now. But

1018
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:34.279
they did have one ruling for pain
and suffering in the last I'm thinking it

1019
01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:41.479
was last five years, But that
doesn't mean it changed that one precedent didn't

1020
01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:47.399
necessarily change. That was an egregious
violation mark where the dog was let out

1021
01:18:47.439 --> 01:18:53.560
by the house cleaners by mistake,
and the dog got hit by the car

1022
01:18:54.359 --> 01:18:58.960
by a car and was dying,
and they took the dog and put it

1023
01:18:59.119 --> 01:19:02.760
underneath the tape where it sleeps as
if it was sleeping, and did not

1024
01:19:03.439 --> 01:19:10.680
tell the owner, So that that
was an extra step of egregiousness. I

1025
01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:16.079
don't know if under normal circumstances you
would get more than the actual value of

1026
01:19:16.119 --> 01:19:18.159
the dog. What were you going
to say, doc Oh, I just

1027
01:19:18.199 --> 01:19:21.520
want to know if that case was
in Colorado. Yeah it was. Okay,

1028
01:19:23.199 --> 01:19:28.479
Yeah, So here's what I'm here's
what I'm asking. Here's what I'm

1029
01:19:28.479 --> 01:19:33.920
asking. Yeah, if you can
or saying, and if you can get

1030
01:19:34.279 --> 01:19:40.359
a couple vets to say this is
beneath the standard of care, I would

1031
01:19:40.439 --> 01:19:44.560
be inclined to maybe go to small
claims court, not for damages, but

1032
01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:49.079
for a refund because they did not
do it properly. I'm on the money

1033
01:19:49.159 --> 01:19:53.680
up that water a little bit.
He was a stud dog and he was

1034
01:19:53.720 --> 01:19:58.039
starting to be chosen to do his
obligations. He might say, so that

1035
01:19:58.239 --> 01:20:00.880
was all that future income. I
was on the left, you too,

1036
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:03.479
So okay, hold on a second, hold on? What value would a

1037
01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:08.960
professional put on that dog? I
don't know, but every time he gets

1038
01:20:09.000 --> 01:20:13.359
studded it's like two thousand dollars?
Well, hold on, was he that

1039
01:20:13.640 --> 01:20:15.880
good of a specimen? Oh?
Yeah, he was a grand champion.

1040
01:20:16.399 --> 01:20:21.199
I know the feeling. Okay,
here's what we do. We should truly,

1041
01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:27.479
you should get the dog value.
I mean, obviously you have to

1042
01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:32.760
do it posthumously, but you get
him value. Okay, as what could

1043
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:36.279
have been some income here may look, but you're gonna have to do the

1044
01:20:36.359 --> 01:20:42.239
legwork here you and look at I
don't even know if there is such thing

1045
01:20:42.279 --> 01:20:47.000
as malpractice in veterinarian medicine, but
I do know that if you got beneath

1046
01:20:47.039 --> 01:20:53.119
the standard of care, they breached
their contract with you, and you paid

1047
01:20:54.079 --> 01:20:59.880
and you lost. I'm serious.
There was an attorney that does dog law

1048
01:21:00.159 --> 01:21:01.520
or pet law, right Mark,
and she got pissed at us. She

1049
01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:06.279
won't She got really upset with you. Oh yeah, Oh, go chime

1050
01:21:06.319 --> 01:21:10.159
in there, Susan. Hey,
but you remember, Susan, do you

1051
01:21:10.199 --> 01:21:14.039
remember why she got so pissed at
me. Uh? I think because we

1052
01:21:14.199 --> 01:21:18.680
were helping some another caller and she's
a breeder, yes, and she did

1053
01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:23.720
not agree with that. She represented
the breeder. That's right. She was

1054
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:29.680
an attorney and represented the breeder and
we thought the breeder was wrong. Hey,

1055
01:21:29.760 --> 01:21:31.479
John, one more thing. Make
sure you get a copy of the

1056
01:21:31.560 --> 01:21:35.880
records, because if you go to
a vet and try and explain it without

1057
01:21:36.319 --> 01:21:40.119
showing him the records or or the
records, they're going to say, we

1058
01:21:40.199 --> 01:21:43.000
need to look at the records,
so fabels. They're going to want to

1059
01:21:43.039 --> 01:21:45.520
know how the dog was presented,
it's and how it was treated. So

1060
01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:48.880
make sure you get a copy of
the records for which you aren't titled.

1061
01:21:49.199 --> 01:21:54.000
In other words, if you did
not present it properly, that well they

1062
01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:57.560
still had an opportunity to examine the
dog. But still they want to know

1063
01:21:57.600 --> 01:22:00.119
a little bit of everything. So
ask for all the record. Don't don't

1064
01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:03.399
uh, don't expose your hand on
what you want to do right now,

1065
01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:08.399
but just do that. This is
very interesting. Stay in touch with us

1066
01:22:08.399 --> 01:22:11.199
three O three seven to one three
talk. We'll give you step by step

1067
01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:15.000
three O three seven one three eight
two five five. We have more coming

1068
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:18.319
up, and I want to remind
you that water Pros has the best water

1069
01:22:18.439 --> 01:22:25.119
systems at the lowest prices, like
the triple filter Reverse OSMOSI is one of

1070
01:22:25.159 --> 01:22:28.920
the best drinking water systems around fourteen
hundred bucks. You can't beat it.

1071
01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:41.399
Three oh three eight six two five
five five four. Hi Tom Martino,

1072
01:22:41.520 --> 01:22:47.479
you're a troubleshooter. In my new
pledge to be nice, one guy on

1073
01:22:48.079 --> 01:22:51.159
one of my YouTube morons says,
don't call us morons. That would be

1074
01:22:51.199 --> 01:22:57.720
a good start. No, I'm
going to call them magnificent morons. Now

1075
01:22:59.039 --> 01:23:03.039
this SHRPA that they use, okay, Premiere window cleaning and pressure washing.

1076
01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:08.600
For the pressure washing doing buildings.
They can probably do big houses with it

1077
01:23:08.680 --> 01:23:13.520
too. They use what's called the
Sherpa. It's an incredible drone. If

1078
01:23:13.560 --> 01:23:15.319
you guys want to look it up, Mark, what did you google to

1079
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:19.079
find it? What did you?
Honest to goodness, man, I don't

1080
01:23:19.119 --> 01:23:28.319
remember. Hold on, okay,
I'm sorry, I had to. It's

1081
01:23:28.359 --> 01:23:30.840
a really cool drone though, Man, I got admit it. It is

1082
01:23:31.039 --> 01:23:35.560
the Dinkity dnk Dink And they use
that drone and they actually own one then

1083
01:23:35.680 --> 01:23:40.640
do it. So that's uh premiere
window cleaning and pressure washing. Okay,

1084
01:23:40.720 --> 01:23:44.920
Now let's talk about some other stuff
that I wanted to talk about, and

1085
01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:48.119
then I want your calls at three
oh three, seven to one three talk

1086
01:23:49.159 --> 01:23:53.239
three oh three, seven to one, three eight, two five five.

1087
01:23:53.680 --> 01:23:59.039
Now listen. What do you think
the consensus is truly or do you think

1088
01:23:59.079 --> 01:24:02.279
it comes down to party lines?
On Jared Polis? What do you think

1089
01:24:03.359 --> 01:24:08.000
do you think maybe even some of
his own party is a little disgusted with

1090
01:24:08.119 --> 01:24:13.000
him? Or do you think it's
right down party lines? Almost half and

1091
01:24:13.079 --> 01:24:15.439
half? What do you think?
Well, it's not half and half in

1092
01:24:15.520 --> 01:24:21.000
Colorado. I think conservatives or Republicans
are outnumbered and liberals or Democrats outnumber.

1093
01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:25.800
Again, this is a wide open
discussion of not trying to change your beliefs.

1094
01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:28.000
I'm trying to ask you a question. I also want to know this.

1095
01:24:28.520 --> 01:24:30.359
What do you think? Have you
heard about the new open meetings law

1096
01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:35.560
that he next? Basically he exempts
lawmakers from open meetings? What does that

1097
01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:42.119
mean? Exactly? People were asking
what does it mean? Quite simply what

1098
01:24:42.239 --> 01:24:50.359
it says. It means that lawmakers
no longer have to have meetings in public.

1099
01:24:50.479 --> 01:24:53.880
They can meet, they can discuss, they can do whatever they want.

1100
01:24:54.880 --> 01:25:00.119
What do you think about that?
I don't know what the idea it

1101
01:25:00.239 --> 01:25:05.560
was behind it. They want to
provide. They want to just provide a

1102
01:25:05.760 --> 01:25:15.680
comfortable environment for lawmakers to meet without
the scrutiny of the public. I don't

1103
01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:21.920
understand that. I mean, it
seems to me that the wide open,

1104
01:25:23.560 --> 01:25:30.319
free societies should be what we have, especially in government. So what do

1105
01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:32.720
you think any ideas? Do you
think it's a good idea? Mark?

1106
01:25:32.760 --> 01:25:34.680
Or do you not care? Do
you not care? As soon as do

1107
01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:38.760
you care that, Shannon? Do
you care? Not that I care what

1108
01:25:38.880 --> 01:25:42.600
you think? I think it's horrible, Tom, No, No, I'm

1109
01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:45.720
serious. Should everything should be transparent? Government. It's all of our taxes

1110
01:25:45.760 --> 01:25:48.159
that pay for this stuff, so
we should know what's going on now.

1111
01:25:48.399 --> 01:25:54.560
Paulus noted that the bill applies only
to the legislature and not the executive order.

1112
01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:57.199
Didn't they do that in the middle
of the night to if I recall,

1113
01:25:57.359 --> 01:26:01.560
Yes, they can well anything it
the entirety. Notice not one news

1114
01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:04.800
station that I know of, Nora, Carl Clark or whatever his name is,

1115
01:26:05.119 --> 01:26:09.039
that local guy. No, No
one talks about it though, at

1116
01:26:09.119 --> 01:26:12.600
least not that I've heard. And
you know what, Tom, I can

1117
01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:16.039
understand if they want to have the
meetings only observed. What you know,

1118
01:26:16.119 --> 01:26:21.039
they don't want the public constantly interrupting
or pricketing or asking questions. But the

1119
01:26:21.159 --> 01:26:27.920
meeting should be open to observation.
It's not interruption, right, And I

1120
01:26:28.000 --> 01:26:30.239
want to know what people think of
that, truly I do. Three oh

01:26:59.239 --> 01:27:01.680
by the way, any problem it
doesn't have to be any particular. We

01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:04.760
don't today is not Cardie or anything
like that. You can call about anything.

1127
01:27:04.800 --> 01:27:11.840
And what I really want to know
is if you have been lied to,

1128
01:27:12.079 --> 01:27:15.039
cheated, or ripped off, because
what we do here is keep track

1129
01:27:15.119 --> 01:27:18.159
of that stuff and can tell you
about the worst contenders, now the very

1130
01:27:18.239 --> 01:27:25.520
worst or at Sleez Brigade dot com
Sleezbrigade dot com. Hey, Jeff,

1131
01:27:25.600 --> 01:27:29.680
what's going on with you? Well, I'm gonna have to look up Sleeve

1132
01:27:29.760 --> 01:27:31.720
Brigade. Oh yeah, you look
that up. You'll like it. What's

1133
01:27:31.760 --> 01:27:39.720
going on? Jeff? Okay,
you gave me a a referral to Laramie,

1134
01:27:39.760 --> 01:27:42.600
Wyoming. I want to I want
to wait, wait wait, I

1135
01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:45.760
don't know anyone in Laramie. I
gave you a referral up in Laramie.

1136
01:27:45.640 --> 01:27:50.800
Yeah, that an issue with Mike
hey On had an issue with my catalytical

1137
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.199
burger. Oh oh oh, I
know what happened. Mark gave you some

1138
01:27:55.880 --> 01:28:00.920
some ill conceived idea and I'll explain
this to people and I don't mean that.

1139
01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:03.560
Wait, wait, what's a joke. It's a joke, Mark,

1140
01:28:03.880 --> 01:28:09.039
It's actually good advice. And what
Mark said was this, if you lost

1141
01:28:09.079 --> 01:28:14.119
your cat, your catalytic converter,
you can. You don't have to spend

1142
01:28:14.279 --> 01:28:18.039
a lot of money for the California
one that they require here in Colorado they

1143
01:28:18.119 --> 01:28:24.520
want you wait, total ripoff.
Thank you, paulush No, no,

1144
01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:27.399
no, no, I'm talking about
the one here. Yeah. But what

1145
01:28:27.560 --> 01:28:30.319
I said was, if you go
to Wyoming, you could probably get it

1146
01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:34.880
a lot cheaper, like half price, and get it installed and everything.

1147
01:28:35.279 --> 01:28:39.479
And then people would always when when
we talked about this in the past.

1148
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:42.039
I don't know if it's still happening, but people would say, you know,

1149
01:28:42.199 --> 01:28:44.680
Mark, you're telling people to do
that and they're breaking the law.

1150
01:28:44.720 --> 01:28:46.640
Blah blah blah. And there is
no law that says you can't. There's

1151
01:28:46.680 --> 01:28:50.359
no law. I mean, what
I'm saying is and my best example to

1152
01:28:50.479 --> 01:28:55.640
this is, Okay, I drive
to Texas and someone steals my cat.

1153
01:28:55.760 --> 01:28:58.720
What do I tow my car back
or go buy a cat? Yeah?

1154
01:28:58.800 --> 01:29:01.399
And no one checks cats at the
border, No one does, No one

1155
01:29:01.479 --> 01:29:04.880
does. Kay. Can you imagine? I bet we're getting close. So

1156
01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:11.359
did you go to Wyoming to buy
one? Well? God, I first

1157
01:29:11.439 --> 01:29:16.720
I called there was a shop in
Laramie that did do that, and only

1158
01:29:16.840 --> 01:29:23.159
one actually one place in Laramie.
It's not a very big down and she

1159
01:29:23.399 --> 01:29:28.720
told me the guy that was doing
all that had retired. Oh well,

1160
01:29:28.800 --> 01:29:31.520
there's other people in Wyoming, yet, what's the other I just always say

1161
01:29:31.560 --> 01:29:34.319
Laramie because my kids in law school
up there. What's the other one?

1162
01:29:34.439 --> 01:29:39.479
Right down the road from Laramie,
the bigger town, Cheyenne. Cheyenne's got

1163
01:29:39.560 --> 01:29:43.680
like fifty places, so I can
maybe do that. Okay, Well wait

1164
01:29:43.720 --> 01:29:45.680
a minute, Wait a minute,
where are you going? Where are you

1165
01:29:45.800 --> 01:29:49.640
coming from? Aurora, Colorado?
Oh? Man, When he said Laramie,

1166
01:29:49.800 --> 01:29:53.960
that was just that. He didn't
mean that was the only place in

1167
01:29:54.079 --> 01:29:58.399
Wyoming. Well, I didn't know. I just oh, I'm sorry for

1168
01:29:58.479 --> 01:30:01.319
the misunderstanding. What he meant was
you can go to you can go to

1169
01:30:01.439 --> 01:30:10.600
Wyoming anywhere in Wyoming. Any auto
shop in Wyoming. Okay, I'll have

1170
01:30:10.720 --> 01:30:15.640
to just call Sam then, yeah, just look up, just google muffler.

1171
01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:20.079
Here's what I would google, muffler
shops in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Okay,

1172
01:30:20.159 --> 01:30:23.760
and then I would call three or
four of them and tell them,

1173
01:30:23.800 --> 01:30:27.279
Hey, I'm in Aurora, Colorado. I was gonna drive up either.

1174
01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:30.479
You know, whatever day works for
you. Guys can you guys replace my

1175
01:30:30.680 --> 01:30:35.560
cat. That's it. That's exactly
what i'd say, right. I thought

1176
01:30:35.560 --> 01:30:42.279
I thought i'd go to shared An
Auto Tech first to get a diagnosis.

1177
01:30:42.680 --> 01:30:46.079
Yeah, yeah, it's so it's
on paper. Well, they're not gonna

1178
01:30:46.680 --> 01:30:49.479
if you already know you need to. I don't know how you know.

1179
01:30:49.640 --> 01:30:53.960
I don't remember the call that you
need to, that you need the converter,

1180
01:30:54.159 --> 01:30:58.279
but you either need it or not, Big O'tires said I did,

1181
01:30:58.399 --> 01:31:00.760
I don't. Then I agree with
you. I'd go to Shardan Autotech and

1182
01:31:00.880 --> 01:31:05.119
make sure before you make that drive
and replace it. That's the problem.

1183
01:31:05.720 --> 01:31:10.279
I was just kind of getting a
funny feeling from Big Oh. You know

1184
01:31:10.359 --> 01:31:12.680
you get that feeling in your stomach. Yeah, no, no, no,

1185
01:31:12.880 --> 01:31:15.399
I know age every day. I
know that feeling very well. It's

1186
01:31:15.439 --> 01:31:18.680
called the gut feeling. I mean
that's what That's why they call it a

1187
01:31:18.760 --> 01:31:23.560
gut feeling, you know, when
something doesn't seem right. Although we could

1188
01:31:23.640 --> 01:31:27.640
be sometimes misled by gut feelings,
I mean, you know, it's not

1189
01:31:27.960 --> 01:31:32.239
a feeling. Yes, So it's
good to verify and to check into confirm

1190
01:31:32.359 --> 01:31:36.319
and all of that when it comes
to everything. I mean sure, And

1191
01:31:36.520 --> 01:31:42.800
speaking of that. Yesterday, we
had a woman call and she said she

1192
01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:48.960
fell for a marine. Her name
was Lucretia. And this guy this picture

1193
01:31:49.000 --> 01:31:54.800
of the marine. I got all
the correspondents and the photo. Oh my

1194
01:31:54.920 --> 01:31:59.560
god, she sent so much stuff. And this guy's you know, he

1195
01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:01.439
looks like a Oh my god,
I mean, he looks like a stud

1196
01:32:01.479 --> 01:32:04.239
as far as his body. He's
got an eight pack, and he's got

1197
01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:09.119
tattoos, and he's got giant muscles, and he's a marine and blah blah

1198
01:32:09.159 --> 01:32:11.399
blah blah. Anyway, bottom line, thank you for calling, by the

1199
01:32:11.399 --> 01:32:15.600
way, and now moving on to
this this thing she sent me all of

1200
01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:19.000
the stuff he sucked her in,
like open up a bank account, do

1201
01:32:19.199 --> 01:32:25.359
this, do that, And now
she's looking at a lot of debt because

1202
01:32:25.439 --> 01:32:30.119
she, basically, without realizing it
was a victim of a scam, she

1203
01:32:30.479 --> 01:32:33.920
thought, well, I'm going to
protect myself by opening up a new account,

1204
01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:40.439
not my own and let him do
stuff in my account. It's terrible,

1205
01:32:41.399 --> 01:32:45.239
it's terrible what happened. So I
had this guy's picture, and what

1206
01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:53.319
I want to do is I want
to What I want to do is basically

1207
01:32:53.920 --> 01:32:57.640
reverse search it on Google to see
what it comes up. With but I

1208
01:32:57.720 --> 01:33:00.399
think that would be fun, right, I'll bet you. I'll bet you

1209
01:33:00.520 --> 01:33:05.600
the marine is a victim as well. I guarantee you he doesn't know that

1210
01:33:05.760 --> 01:33:11.079
his picture has been used to scan
people. I see this over and over

1211
01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:16.319
again, that they just you serve
pictures and the people the person who's picture

1212
01:33:16.359 --> 01:33:21.479
they use doesn't have any idea.
Oh, you're saying that this particular guy.

1213
01:33:21.880 --> 01:33:27.960
I guarantee you will see it's not
him, all right. This is

01:33:28.079 --> 01:33:31.800

a beautiful part of Maine to a
apartment in Idaho that is being paid for

1250
01:36:55.760 --> 01:37:02.640
by the government now. And every
every yeah, every nickel she gets,

1251
01:37:03.239 --> 01:37:09.600
she goes to these bitcoin ATMs,
drops it in the bitcoin ATMs and sends

1252
01:37:09.600 --> 01:37:15.279

his picture came up. It searched

1254
01:37:23.479 --> 01:37:31.680
sixty six billion images and it found
him on Snapchat. So now what did

1255
01:37:32.159 --> 01:37:36.079
so that could be the one that
she that she did on Snapchat. I'm

1256
01:37:36.119 --> 01:37:41.439
going to upload another one. No, yeah, what happens is, uh,

1257
01:37:42.359 --> 01:37:45.479
so these scammers will find uh a
very good look and a lot of

1258
01:37:46.600 --> 01:37:53.359
military guys that or any good looking
successful guy. I can't tell you how

1259
01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:57.199
many how many people have used my
picture? Go ahead, I'm just kidding.

1260
01:37:57.199 --> 01:38:00.560
Go ahead, Tom zero, Yeah, go ahead. What happened?

1261
01:38:01.319 --> 01:38:03.960
Yeah? So, what what happens
is, uh, you know, these

1262
01:38:04.000 --> 01:38:09.640
good looking guys, especially from after
they've done a deployment, they tend to

1263
01:38:09.960 --> 01:38:15.520
get pumped up and uh, you
know with muscles, you know, shows

1264
01:38:15.159 --> 01:38:19.439
tight T shirts, lots of muscles, and yeah, uh they are they

1265
01:38:19.479 --> 01:38:25.279
are very attractive, and they post
a lot of pictures of themselves and these

1266
01:38:25.319 --> 01:38:33.520
scammers in India and Nigeria will start
harvesting those images and you know, building

1267
01:38:33.600 --> 01:38:40.720
out a profile. And you know, I think we've talked before about ai

1268
01:38:42.000 --> 01:38:45.039
AI. You know, used to
be easy to catch these guys because the

1269
01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:49.000
grammar was crappy. Uh, you
know, every everything was crappy. But

1270
01:38:49.199 --> 01:38:56.840
here's what said. Your aunt.
Your aunt literally has lost hundreds of thousands

1271
01:38:57.479 --> 01:39:02.079
of dollars. Oh yeah yeah,
and nobody can convince her. It's like

1272
01:39:02.199 --> 01:39:08.279
she's a heroin addict. You're not
going to convince a heroin addict to get

1273
01:39:08.319 --> 01:39:16.279
off the heroin, and she is
addicted to this delusion. It's a psychological

1274
01:39:16.399 --> 01:39:23.119
problem that is being fed by technology. And you're so right. You know.

1275
01:39:23.840 --> 01:39:27.600
I've talked to so many of these
people like your aunt. They just

1276
01:39:27.760 --> 01:39:34.640
won't accept reality. That is so
Yeah, it's sad in their own fantasy

1277
01:39:34.760 --> 01:39:40.119
world. Yeah, it's sad man. Okay, thank you for calling.

1278
01:39:40.640 --> 01:39:44.760
I did a reverse search. It's
coming up all over Snapchat. Not sure

01:39:44.800 --> 01:39:46.520

01:40:41.840 --> 01:40:47.920
our guest with us today. Premiere
window Washing and pressure Washing, or the

1289
01:40:48.840 --> 01:40:54.640
actual name is premiere window cleaning and
pressure washing. Okay, we've been talking

1290
01:40:54.680 --> 01:40:57.680
about did I take Troy already?
Is he the one that gave us that

1291
01:40:58.039 --> 01:41:03.359
great sight? Or is as someone
else? Okay, Yeah, we've been

1292
01:41:03.399 --> 01:41:08.840
talking about scams and I asked this
woman to send me all the details,

1293
01:41:10.199 --> 01:41:14.560
and man, can I see why
she was scammed? It's unbelievable. So

1294
01:41:15.720 --> 01:41:24.279
somehow she's on Snapchat and she gets
request to snap somebody who appears to be

1295
01:41:25.159 --> 01:41:31.840
some stud, some marine stationed in
Turkey. He sent her all kinds of

1296
01:41:31.920 --> 01:41:36.920
pictures over the time, you know, the typical one, the selfie in

1297
01:41:36.960 --> 01:41:41.560
front of the mirror with his eight
pack and muscles. And then they're always

1298
01:41:41.680 --> 01:41:46.000
overseas or on an oil work tom
Yeah, so because they can't they don't

1299
01:41:46.039 --> 01:41:53.520
want to zoom, So that's right. And then he sent her all kinds

1300
01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:58.479
of information. And if I go
through this it, you know, he

1301
01:41:58.640 --> 01:42:01.199
says, you know, it's out. You know, I think I'm falling

1302
01:42:01.279 --> 01:42:05.199
in love and all that stuff.
So it gets really weird. But he

1303
01:42:05.359 --> 01:42:10.640
says, I cannot believe that I
manage hurt and break my heart such a

1304
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:14.920
beautiful creature like you or let's see, Oh wait, I cannot believe that

1305
01:42:15.159 --> 01:42:18.840
I managed to hurt and break the
heart of such a beautiful creature. I

1306
01:42:18.880 --> 01:42:23.359
don't know what that means. I
am a giant fool for not being more

1307
01:42:23.439 --> 01:42:27.680
careful with my words and actions.
I am terribly sorry. I regret everything.

1308
01:42:28.000 --> 01:42:29.880
Oh, I don't even know.
They must have had a fight or

1309
01:42:29.960 --> 01:42:33.199
something. I never inter to hurt
your feelings like this. I am terribly

1310
01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:38.000
sorry. Please forgive me. You
are the son of my life, and

1311
01:42:38.119 --> 01:42:42.960
with you missing, I have grown
afraid of the dark jeeves. This is

1312
01:42:45.720 --> 01:42:47.720
she didn't tell me they had a
fight. And then some of the other

1313
01:42:47.840 --> 01:42:51.840
texts I see, I don't even
I don't get this. Here's one of

1314
01:42:51.880 --> 01:42:57.920
the other ones. Millions of stars
twinkling in the vast skies, but there

written out, and the people who are

1318
01:43:15.359 --> 01:43:23.319
texting it just text from the copy
that the bosses give them. Wow.

1319
01:43:24.520 --> 01:43:30.720
See you look up whose picture it
was? Yes, and all it says

1320
01:43:31.680 --> 01:43:34.960
is found on Snapchat. But I
had no information. I'm going to try

1321
01:43:35.039 --> 01:43:42.399
Google again, but these are are

01:43:46.640 --> 01:43:50.600

as it sounds. Why is the card

1324
01:43:50.680 --> 01:43:56.079
not working? Honey? Is it
the same card they gave you? So

1325
01:43:56.199 --> 01:43:58.319
I want to get to the part. I'm trying to get to the part

1326
01:43:58.359 --> 01:44:01.039
where he says why he needs it. She didn't send that part. Wait,

1327
01:44:01.920 --> 01:44:06.239
she didn't exactly send that part like
where it started. It's saying like

1328
01:44:06.880 --> 01:44:11.960
I've been waiting to at least hear
your voice. I do not want any

1329
01:44:11.960 --> 01:44:15.000
issue. See she never did talk
to him, you know, of course

1330
01:44:15.119 --> 01:44:23.920
not. He says, basically on
the texts that he stationed in Turkey,

1331
01:44:24.560 --> 01:44:30.479
his wallet was stolen. He can't
open an account and he needs her help.

1332
01:44:31.079 --> 01:44:38.399
If if she gives bank account,
if she establishes an account, then

1333
01:44:38.520 --> 01:44:45.520
he'll deposit money or gives He originally
wanted hers. But do we have her

1334
01:44:45.600 --> 01:44:48.560
number to call her back? Didn't
we get her number? Or is it

1335
01:44:48.680 --> 01:44:56.359
in this email? Kachina? Don't
we have her number somewhere? I believe

1336
01:44:56.399 --> 01:45:00.880
you we have it. Can you
call her back? I mean, if

1337
01:45:00.920 --> 01:45:05.079
we're going to be like if we're
going to be like, well, let's

1338
01:45:05.159 --> 01:45:10.159
say warning people about this scam.
I want to make sure I get it

1339
01:45:10.279 --> 01:45:14.760
right, because so he would get
the money from the ATM or she would

1340
01:45:14.840 --> 01:45:17.239
then what, oh, no,
here's okay, I should mention for people

1341
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:20.800
that didn't hear the original call.
So he said, I can't open an

1342
01:45:20.840 --> 01:45:26.479
account. Can you give me access
to your account and they'll deposit money.

1343
01:45:26.640 --> 01:45:30.479
Well, she was smart enough not
to do that, so she thought,

1344
01:45:30.640 --> 01:45:32.239
you know what, I'm not going
to give you access to my account.

1345
01:45:33.079 --> 01:45:38.560
So she opened up a brand new
account, but it was in her name,

1346
01:45:39.720 --> 01:45:48.119
so she sent him the information and
he forthwith deposited money in a check.

1347
01:45:49.159 --> 01:45:55.439
What I don't understand is they gave
her immediate credit for that. I

1348
01:45:55.520 --> 01:46:00.840
mean like they let her have access
to it. So some guy sends a

1349
01:46:00.039 --> 01:46:04.359
check to her account and she's able
to draw it out with a debit card.

1350
01:46:05.119 --> 01:46:11.199
So he tells her, if you
could help me draw out the money

1351
01:46:11.239 --> 01:46:15.159
that I just sent and put it
in some gift cards, that's the only

1352
01:46:15.239 --> 01:46:20.960
way I can spend it. So
she dutifully goes out and buys gift cards,

1353
01:46:21.680 --> 01:46:29.079
then gives him the numbers. So
what he does now is exhausts the

1354
01:46:29.199 --> 01:46:33.560
gift cards. So he sends a
five thousand dollars fake check. He gets

1355
01:46:33.680 --> 01:46:39.680
five thousand dollars in real money,
and she's the one holding the bag when

1356
01:46:39.720 --> 01:46:47.159
the check bounces. So what's really
sad is that now she owes the bank

1357
01:46:47.239 --> 01:46:53.279
five grand. Now he didn't leave
that alone. He then sent her eighteen

1358
01:46:53.439 --> 01:47:01.560
thousand dollars and wanted her to deposit
that. Luckily, she did not deposit

1359
01:47:02.159 --> 01:47:09.640
that, so that part at least
she didn't do that, because that would

1360
01:47:09.680 --> 01:47:16.800
have been a terrible thing, a
terrible thing. So she's got that eighteen

1361
01:47:16.920 --> 01:47:19.359
thousand dollars check. But I asked
her to send me a copy of that

1362
01:47:19.520 --> 01:47:23.039
too, and I don't believe I
have it. But let me go to

1363
01:47:23.159 --> 01:47:26.039
Troy right now. Who's on?
Who's calling in? By the way,

1364
01:47:26.039 --> 01:47:29.000
I get your calls in at three
oh three seven one three talk three oh

1365
01:47:29.039 --> 01:47:30.399
three seven one three two five five
Troy, what's going on with you?

1366
01:47:34.159 --> 01:47:40.560
Hi? Troy? Hey? Tom. One other thing that happened last night

1367
01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:54.000
that uh, the uh Colorado legislature, the Judiciary Committee pass a sweeping what

1368
01:47:54.239 --> 01:47:59.840
is called asoul weapons ban right for
Colorado. I heard about that on my

1369
01:48:00.239 --> 01:48:04.079
brown I'm not I didn't know the
details. Right. What this is going

1370
01:48:04.159 --> 01:48:12.079
to do is this is going to
destroy of the gunshots in the state of

1371
01:48:12.159 --> 01:48:19.439
Colorado. Gun dealers will not be
allowed to sell quote unquote assault weapon.

1372
01:48:19.479 --> 01:48:23.439
Now, this is just a bill
that was introduced. It would it would

1373
01:48:23.520 --> 01:48:30.760
ban the purchase, sale, and
transfer of semi automatic firearms defined as assault

1374
01:48:30.840 --> 01:48:34.319
weapons. Right. Isn't a lot
of this going to come down to the

1375
01:48:34.399 --> 01:48:39.119
Supreme Court though? I mean New
York City tried this with any kind of

1376
01:48:39.199 --> 01:48:45.279
gun. Yeah, Mark, But
the bill goes into effect one July twenty

1377
01:48:45.319 --> 01:48:47.840
twenty. Yeah, but I'm just
I guess what I'm saying is we know

1378
01:48:47.960 --> 01:48:51.520
it's going to change. I don't
even know why they're wasting their time.

1379
01:48:54.159 --> 01:48:58.399
Well so I don't know why they're
wasting their time either, but the impact

1380
01:48:58.560 --> 01:49:04.760
that's going to happen to the small
guys. So, you know, would

1381
01:49:04.880 --> 01:49:09.800
what I've learned being in the gun
business, if you want to make its

1382
01:49:09.840 --> 01:49:15.399
devastating, what's devastating, you want
to make a small time. So I

1383
01:49:15.479 --> 01:49:18.920
mean pretty much those are the guns
people buy. And what he's saying is

1384
01:49:19.039 --> 01:49:25.600
a smaller gun shop, especially ones
hit specialize in assault weapons. Once this

1385
01:49:25.760 --> 01:49:28.840
bill goes in even though. I'm
sure it's going to be knocked down like

1386
01:49:29.239 --> 01:49:31.800
these always are by the Supreme Court, but that takes time. You know,

1387
01:49:31.880 --> 01:49:35.039
they're not going to be able to
survive if they can't actually sell these

1388
01:49:35.119 --> 01:49:41.479
weapons in the intern. I want
to know something, kiss you were in

1389
01:49:41.520 --> 01:49:48.000
the go ahead? Yeah? Mark? Uh so an assault weapon? Okay,

1390
01:49:48.159 --> 01:49:53.000
assault is a verb to I know, I'm just calling it. What

1391
01:49:53.119 --> 01:49:55.399
everybody does. I get it,
man, I own one. I don't

1392
01:49:55.399 --> 01:50:01.880
care, right, But what's happening
is we're normalizing that phrase. But to

1393
01:50:02.000 --> 01:50:06.399
me, I appreciate what you're saying. But to me, it's not even

1394
01:50:06.439 --> 01:50:11.159
a bad phrase. I don't care. Okay, keep going, but just

1395
01:50:11.239 --> 01:50:13.520
make your point. I'm not sure
the point you're making. Go ahead,

1396
01:50:14.960 --> 01:50:20.039
right, that the legislature is using
that phrase assault weapon as a bad thing.

1397
01:50:20.760 --> 01:50:26.680
A baseball bat's a weapon, a
hoe is a weapon. So what's

1398
01:50:26.760 --> 01:50:33.399
happening is they've identified firearms and they've
made a shopping list of firearms that they

1399
01:50:33.439 --> 01:50:44.680
want to ban. And now guns, even pistols the normal Colorado citizens carry

1400
01:50:44.760 --> 01:50:47.520
for self defense are going to be
on that list. So you will not

1401
01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:57.880
be able to purchase or transfer or
sell. Uh you know, you buy

1402
01:50:57.880 --> 01:51:00.600
a gun, you use it,
you don't like it, you can't sell

1403
01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:08.159
it to your neighbor. So this
is going to destroy the gun industry in

1404
01:51:08.239 --> 01:51:14.039
the state of Colorado. Well,
can I ask something? Okay, hold

1405
01:51:14.119 --> 01:51:15.800
on, no, I listen.
I want to ask a question or two,

1406
01:51:16.560 --> 01:51:21.880
and again I have to remind people
when I ask questions, don't think

1407
01:51:21.960 --> 01:51:28.560
I'm in for or in favor or
against anything. I'm asking clarification questions.

1408
01:51:29.119 --> 01:51:36.039
That's all I'm doing. Why do
people want semi automatic multi fier weapons like

1409
01:51:36.079 --> 01:51:39.279
that? I mean, what what
is the allure to them? Do you

1410
01:51:39.359 --> 01:51:44.760
think what is it to protect yourself
from the government? Do you think that's

1411
01:51:44.800 --> 01:51:49.039
why people want that? Work?
No? No, no, So I

1412
01:51:49.159 --> 01:51:55.479
am a Colorado firearms instructor. Why
do people want those weapons? Troy,

1413
01:51:55.560 --> 01:52:00.840
Let's get to that part. Okay, So firearm is made of three basic

1414
01:52:00.880 --> 01:52:04.239
components. Never mind, hold on, I'm not I'm not going through a

1415
01:52:04.279 --> 01:52:06.800
whole history, lesson. I asked
a very simple question. I know you

1416
01:52:06.920 --> 01:52:10.560
want to make you want to make
this a soapbox. I can't do it,

1417
01:52:10.600 --> 01:52:15.159
bro, I just want to know
what is the allure of these of

1418
01:52:15.319 --> 01:52:21.079
these rapid fire semi automatic weapons?
Protection? The allure. Huh. Okay,

1419
01:52:21.199 --> 01:52:25.960
but what will a shotgun protect your
house? Sure it will. I

1420
01:52:26.039 --> 01:52:29.239
mean, I don't know. I'm
not I'm not making the argument against them.

1421
01:52:29.279 --> 01:52:32.039
I'm just asking a question. When
people come into your gun store,

1422
01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:39.359
Troy, what is the reason they
want those weapons? Okay? So a

1423
01:52:40.000 --> 01:52:47.000
modern uh sports rifle an ar is
very easy to assimbol very easy to take

1424
01:52:47.039 --> 01:52:54.159
apart. I can make modifications to
it. It is you know, parked

1425
01:52:54.199 --> 01:52:59.800
and pieces. Yeah, it's basically
the Barbie Doll of guns. So it's

1426
01:53:00.399 --> 01:53:05.439
they like it because they're easy and
simple and and what what they Oh,

1427
01:53:05.520 --> 01:53:10.840
they're very they're very easy to take
apart, they're easy to modify, they're

1428
01:53:10.840 --> 01:53:17.079
easy to fire. Is a very
stable platform. So they just like them.

1429
01:53:17.199 --> 01:53:23.800
They like it exactly. It's like
why do you like one car versus

1430
01:53:23.920 --> 01:53:30.560
another? So a semi automatic firearm
is you press the trigger once if fires,

1431
01:53:30.640 --> 01:53:36.000
wants press the trigger once if fires
again. So it is no different.

1432
01:53:38.359 --> 01:53:42.560
It's all about the cosmetics, is
what the legislature is going after.

1433
01:53:43.439 --> 01:53:46.239
So I don't know what they're going
after. What they're saying is it can

1434
01:53:46.319 --> 01:53:49.359
do way more damage. I don't
know. I mean, they're trying to

1435
01:53:49.399 --> 01:53:53.800
make. Here's what they're trying You
want to know the truth. It is

1436
01:53:53.840 --> 01:53:58.000
an assault rifle, as they call
it in the bill. Why are they

1437
01:53:58.079 --> 01:54:00.279
calling it that and why are they
going after that? Do they think it's

1438
01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:08.840
any worse than a shotgun, a
rifle, a revolver, a nine millimeter?

1439
01:54:09.560 --> 01:54:12.399
Do they think it's any worse?
No, they don't. But they

1440
01:54:12.520 --> 01:54:15.000
want to get their foot in the
door. That's what they're doing. They're

1441
01:54:15.439 --> 01:54:18.039
They're just trying to get their foot
in the door and get people used to

1442
01:54:18.119 --> 01:54:25.560
having at least one type of weapon
demonized and controlled and outlawed. That's what

1443
01:54:25.680 --> 01:54:28.960
I think. I don't think it
has anything to do with the actual rifle.

1444
01:54:29.399 --> 01:54:31.000
I think it has to do that. It's it's one of in their

1445
01:54:31.079 --> 01:54:35.319
minds, the things against the Second
Amendment. So everything they're trying to do

1446
01:54:35.560 --> 01:54:39.399
is just a waste of all of
our time and making markets. And there

1447
01:54:39.439 --> 01:54:45.640
are people, there are people who
truly, honest to God, believe that

1448
01:54:45.880 --> 01:54:51.279
the Second Amendment is old and should
be revised. I'm not arguing that.

1449
01:54:51.479 --> 01:54:56.439
What I'm saying is a lot of
these things have already been visited and ruled

1450
01:54:56.479 --> 01:54:59.920
on in the court. They're just
simply doing this knowing it's going to be

1451
01:55:00.119 --> 01:55:03.960
overturned. But there are two amendments
that are coming under fire over the next

1452
01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:10.720
few years, the First Amendment and
the Second Amendment. The First Amendment is

1453
01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:15.920
under a sale assault right now,
totally. The First Amendment in mispeech and

1454
01:55:15.000 --> 01:55:20.840
expression, forget it. That is
only if you agree with us, that's

1455
01:55:20.920 --> 01:55:26.880
what that's. People want to ban
everything else. But if it's against what

1456
01:55:27.079 --> 01:55:33.399
we believe or against the narrative,
then it should be quashed. That's just

1457
01:55:33.520 --> 01:55:39.680
as dangerous as going after the Second
Amendment or any other amendment. We have

1458
01:55:39.800 --> 01:55:50.239
more coming up. Hi, Tom
Martine, your troubleshooter three oh three seven

1459
01:55:50.239 --> 01:55:55.880
to one three Talk three oh three
seven one three eight two five five.

1460
01:55:56.520 --> 01:55:59.720
Welcome to the show. What is
going on in your life? I have

1461
01:55:59.800 --> 01:56:05.000
with me Tyler from Premiere window cleaning
and pressure washing. We've been talking about

1462
01:56:05.079 --> 01:56:12.680
the various aspects and if you haven't
seen this, they use this drone that

1463
01:56:12.840 --> 01:56:15.840
can Now how many stories can you
go up with that drone? Right now

1464
01:56:15.920 --> 01:56:19.159
at the moment, we've done seven
stories. We have not went above.

1465
01:56:19.600 --> 01:56:23.600
They're saying it can go up to
like thirty six stories. We haven't tested

1466
01:56:23.640 --> 01:56:26.079
that far. Well, it's long
hose. Do you have a hose?

1467
01:56:26.159 --> 01:56:29.159
Do you have a camera? Does
it show you? So there's a camera

1468
01:56:29.279 --> 01:56:31.079
on the front. We're trying to
figure out how to keep it clean because

1469
01:56:31.119 --> 01:56:34.319
once solution comes on to it,
we kind of go blind while we're up

1470
01:56:34.319 --> 01:56:38.239
there. So yeah, that's not
it's not a good sitution. But it

1471
01:56:38.319 --> 01:56:41.640
has an automatic button for parking right
to come back and park yep where you

1472
01:56:41.800 --> 01:56:45.920
took off from exactly mark, do
you had in your drone that you had

1473
01:56:45.960 --> 01:56:47.760
do you did you have an automatic
come home button? Oh? God,

1474
01:56:47.920 --> 01:56:51.920
yeah? Well? Or or simply
if it ever lost connection, if I

1475
01:56:53.039 --> 01:56:55.680
flew it too far, I would
come home. One time I flew it

1476
01:56:55.760 --> 01:57:01.119
too far Man and I would never
condone. But I had a certain piece

1477
01:57:01.159 --> 01:57:03.600
of software. I could fly it
as high as I wanted, not that

1478
01:57:03.680 --> 01:57:08.039
I'd ever do it, but I
totally lost it, had no idea where

1479
01:57:08.119 --> 01:57:12.119
it was. It was far away
and extremely high, and I thought it

1480
01:57:12.279 --> 01:57:15.119
was gone, Tom, I honest
to god, thought it was gone.

1481
01:57:15.479 --> 01:57:17.800
I went back inside and you can
picture my family room in the deck.

1482
01:57:18.159 --> 01:57:23.119
So it took off from my deck
on the coffee table outside and I was

1483
01:57:23.159 --> 01:57:27.760
sitting there in about fifteen minutes later, she came back and landed right there.

1484
01:57:27.880 --> 01:57:30.600
Man, I was so excited.
God, how that was crazy?

1485
01:57:31.720 --> 01:57:36.039
So it lost connection, but inside
remembered where it was. Yeah, and

1486
01:57:36.159 --> 01:57:40.640
then I'll tell you what I remember. I just said that I had the

1487
01:57:40.720 --> 01:57:43.920
ability to fly it as high as
you possibly can. You're the one.

1488
01:57:44.319 --> 01:57:46.760
You're the reason I really got rid
of that software because I started thinking,

1489
01:57:47.239 --> 01:57:50.079
you know, you saw mine.
It's not that big. I could get

1490
01:57:50.199 --> 01:57:54.640
so high in that thing you can't
even see it. I'm not talking far,

1491
01:57:54.800 --> 01:57:57.880
I'm talking straight up. And the
problem is, man, there's a

1492
01:57:57.920 --> 01:58:00.720
lot of helicopters and planes, and
you you're the one that told me.

1493
01:58:00.840 --> 01:58:03.600
Man, if that thing ever hit
a rudder, a rotor, right,

1494
01:58:04.239 --> 01:58:08.359
you'd be yeah, or a roter, you'd be cooked. Man, I

1495
01:58:08.600 --> 01:58:12.479
know it. It could really do
harm. I wonder. I mean there

1496
01:58:12.560 --> 01:58:16.680
are laws now, right, do
they regulate drones through the FA or something?

1497
01:58:16.800 --> 01:58:19.680
Right? Of course? But what
do they regulate? Do they?

1498
01:58:19.840 --> 01:58:24.279
Mark? Did you said you had
a software hack that got it as high

1499
01:58:24.279 --> 01:58:27.640
as it wanted to go? Wait? Without that? Is there a limit

1500
01:58:27.720 --> 01:58:31.079
built into them? Yeah? So
most of them. I don't remember the

1501
01:58:31.239 --> 01:58:36.560
altitude, but yes, right out
of the boxes. Software just stops.

1502
01:58:36.640 --> 01:58:42.600
You can't go any higher than that, and it's probably a good thing to

1503
01:58:42.680 --> 01:58:44.720
be honest. I mean, it's
pretty high, don't get me wrong.

1504
01:58:44.760 --> 01:58:46.840
I don't know how many thousand feet
it is. I'm sure we've got listeners

1505
01:58:46.920 --> 01:58:51.800
that know. But then you can
override that in some but I don't know,

1506
01:58:53.079 --> 01:58:56.640
like the brand new ones coming out, And I know I did register

1507
01:58:56.920 --> 01:59:01.039
mine on an FAA site at one
point. I mean I don't even know

1508
01:59:01.119 --> 01:59:05.119
why. I guess in case if
it does cause an accident or ends up

1509
01:59:05.159 --> 01:59:08.640
somewhere, they can trace it back
to you. But I put it under

1510
01:59:08.720 --> 01:59:14.600
Tom Martine. Now, these drones
are not issued numbers though, right I

1511
01:59:14.720 --> 01:59:17.560
don't believe so. Right, So
there's not an identifying number or anything like

1512
01:59:17.680 --> 01:59:21.600
on an airplane. I'm pretty sure
there is now on some of them,

1513
01:59:23.079 --> 01:59:27.199
not like a tail number, but
they have whether it's a chip or something

1514
01:59:27.800 --> 01:59:31.520
electronic or computerized, it has its
own number, like maybe a Mac address.

1515
01:59:31.680 --> 01:59:35.680
But I'm pretty sure they can tell
exactly what that drone was and who

1516
01:59:35.720 --> 01:59:43.239
it was registered to if it's registered, you know. And what gets me

1517
01:59:43.399 --> 01:59:48.960
though, is how advanced they've become. The thing I think that turned the

1518
01:59:49.039 --> 01:59:55.840
corner for drones is when they had
the drones that when you take your hands

1519
01:59:55.880 --> 02:00:00.880
off the controls, it hovers in
place. Yet that changed everything because before

1520
02:00:00.039 --> 02:00:04.159
that, once you took off and
they never hovered. You just took off

1521
02:00:04.199 --> 02:00:08.520
and had to fly, and you
could go slow or fast, but you

1522
02:00:08.640 --> 02:00:14.479
couldn't literally just stay in place.
And that changed everything because what happened with

1523
02:00:14.640 --> 02:00:16.800
other people they would get confused.
I mean, you had to constantly be

1524
02:00:16.920 --> 02:00:20.920
moving, even if you're going slowly. You had to constantly be moving with

1525
02:00:21.119 --> 02:00:25.399
marks. I liked it because you
could fly it and then just stop and

1526
02:00:25.520 --> 02:00:28.319
it just stops. It sits there. One of the fun things you can

1527
02:00:28.399 --> 02:00:30.880
do with it, too, is
if you have a motorcycle or a car

1528
02:00:30.000 --> 02:00:33.279
or a bicycle, you just you
set it and tell you to follow,

1529
02:00:33.800 --> 02:00:38.319
so you can get in your car
and it'll follow your car at whatever you

1530
02:00:38.479 --> 02:00:41.560
set it to do, which is
really cool. I always thought it would

1531
02:00:41.560 --> 02:00:44.840
be cool to do going down I
twenty five, except as bridges. Then

1532
02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:47.079
you could always see traffic ahead of
you and stuff. But by the way

1533
02:00:47.119 --> 02:00:51.159
it is, the Bluetooth and the
Wi Fi have Mac addresses, so they

1534
02:00:51.319 --> 02:00:59.680
each drone is a unique has a
unique identifier and those drones if you have

1535
02:00:59.880 --> 02:01:06.119
the follow you, they avoid objects, right obviously bridges and tunnels. I

1536
02:01:06.159 --> 02:01:11.600
mean, what the mind you can
you can tell it only going forward.

1537
02:01:11.680 --> 02:01:15.079
I don't know about all the drones
out there, but mine. When you're

1538
02:01:15.199 --> 02:01:19.239
moving forward, you can absolutely make
it to or or won't hit anything unless

1539
02:01:19.439 --> 02:01:23.720
if you take it out of that
mode. In other words, you can

1540
02:01:23.760 --> 02:01:26.640
do Harry carry mode if you want
to. Yeah, and they do that

1541
02:01:27.000 --> 02:01:29.800
people race. Wait wait, that's
not the word I want Harry carry.

1542
02:01:29.840 --> 02:01:33.119
It's the well, it's the the
suicide pilots. I mean it could do

1543
02:01:33.199 --> 02:01:38.279
one of those if you wanted it
to Kamakazi. Yeah. The cool part

1544
02:01:38.319 --> 02:01:42.159
with ours, right is we bring
it up to a certain level and then

1545
02:01:42.199 --> 02:01:45.680
we stop it there and it can
only move at that level side to side.

1546
02:01:45.760 --> 02:01:47.479
So it allows us to kind of
keep control of what the drone's doing

1547
02:01:47.640 --> 02:01:50.039
up inside the air, so we
can get a good clean on it.

1548
02:01:51.479 --> 02:01:55.600
Man, I can't wait till you
can go building to building. Like in

1549
02:01:55.720 --> 02:01:59.119
Dubai, you just hop on a
you know, hop in a drone.

1550
02:01:59.159 --> 02:02:01.199
There is no dry I we you
uber a drum? Do they actually have

1551
02:02:01.319 --> 02:02:04.119
that in Dubai? Carrying people.
Are you sure. I'm pretty sure they

1552
02:02:04.199 --> 02:02:10.760
have that right now in Dubai because
I would be really reluctant to be in

1553
02:02:10.880 --> 02:02:15.399
something like that because what happens with
a power failure, you know, I

1554
02:02:15.479 --> 02:02:17.920
mean, because they haven't figured out. Well, actually, you can make

1555
02:02:17.960 --> 02:02:23.680
them fool proof if you did some
kind of parachute system. I guess that

1556
02:02:23.760 --> 02:02:27.000
would be pretty cool. Yeah,
I'm sweet. But did you see that

1557
02:02:27.239 --> 02:02:32.239
Serrus accident? I think it was
last week. Man, That parachute saved

1558
02:02:32.279 --> 02:02:35.720
the family. It was a guy, his wife, and I think what

1559
02:02:35.920 --> 02:02:41.479
happened a toddler they lost. I
don't know what happened, but he lost

1560
02:02:41.600 --> 02:02:47.600
control and engine failure a little bit
after takeoff and they were in a pretty

1561
02:02:48.239 --> 02:02:54.239
wooded area under them, and as
a last resort he hit whatever button it

1562
02:02:54.399 --> 02:02:59.239
is, deployed the parachute and they
all walked away from it with very minor

1563
02:02:59.359 --> 02:03:04.159
injuries. But it's crazy that parachute
saved them because that wooded area, they

1564
02:03:04.199 --> 02:03:09.560
weren't going to be landed anywhere.
Man. Yeah, I just saw this.

1565
02:03:09.960 --> 02:03:13.600
I just saw it, and they
had a video of it. I

1566
02:03:13.680 --> 02:03:15.840
don't know if the video came from
someone's backyard or where, but you can

1567
02:03:15.880 --> 02:03:19.079
see the pictures. I don't know
if it was video or just the pictures,

1568
02:03:19.119 --> 02:03:24.479
but the engine failed on takeoff,
yeah, saving the people. It

1569
02:03:24.600 --> 02:03:28.359
said two people on board. Maybe
this is not the one, but I'm

1570
02:03:28.359 --> 02:03:31.399
pretty sure that's it. And there
March seventh, it says March seventh.

1571
02:03:33.319 --> 02:03:38.279
This one was so I don't know, man, but yeah, that's an

1572
02:03:38.319 --> 02:03:43.840
amazing airplane. What people don't understand
is when that parachute does get deployed,

1573
02:03:43.960 --> 02:03:46.279
it totals the airframe. I mean, it's not like you can reuse it

1574
02:03:46.359 --> 02:03:51.520
again. The airplane's toast, but
people live. It was Santa Rosa residents,

1575
02:03:51.560 --> 02:03:55.800
including a two year old child.
Okay, then I didn't have the

1576
02:03:55.880 --> 02:03:59.720
right one thirty eight year old adult. Let me see March eighth headed Santa

1577
02:03:59.800 --> 02:04:02.560
Rose, so with two thirty eight
adults. So it sounds like to parents

1578
02:04:02.640 --> 02:04:09.279
and the kid, but it was
a serious SR twenty two. You did

1579
02:04:09.439 --> 02:04:12.439
you have one of those? Yes? So how like what do you do?

1580
02:04:12.800 --> 02:04:15.600
Is it like like a code you
put in or eleven? What do

1581
02:04:15.720 --> 02:04:20.800
you havebjects? You have a lever
between the two seats that you reach it

1582
02:04:21.319 --> 02:04:25.000
you reach and you pull it up. You first you have to pull it

1583
02:04:25.119 --> 02:04:30.199
up and then pull it out and
and you're not you you are not physically

1584
02:04:30.359 --> 02:04:39.000
doing it. What you're doing is
releasing a shot an igniter that then then

1585
02:04:39.079 --> 02:04:43.159
there's a blaster that blasted through the
back of the plane, almost like an

1586
02:04:43.199 --> 02:04:45.800
ejection on one of the jets for
the Yeah, you have no, you

1587
02:04:46.039 --> 02:04:49.479
you wouldn't have the physical strength to
do that. You have to kill the

1588
02:04:49.720 --> 02:04:55.680
engine before, like if there's a
there's a deployment procedure, of course,

1589
02:04:55.800 --> 02:04:59.239
and what it is is to yes, you should kill the engine and you

1590
02:04:59.319 --> 02:05:02.560
should slow down and then do it. But in an emergency they say it

1591
02:05:02.600 --> 02:05:04.680
doesn't matter. I mean, if
you're gonna die, you do anything.

1592
02:05:04.800 --> 02:05:11.119
Because but then what happens is it
shoots out the back what would be what

1593
02:05:11.239 --> 02:05:15.279
would be the rear windshield of a
car. There is no windshield there,

1594
02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:20.239
but it shoots out that direction and
then it pulls it rips cords out from

1595
02:05:20.279 --> 02:05:26.560
the airframe at four points. So
there's so when the parachute is rock there's

1596
02:05:26.640 --> 02:05:30.920
a rocket, you fire. The
rocket pulls the parachute up, and as

1597
02:05:30.960 --> 02:05:35.560
it pulls the parachute up, it
pulls these cords out in four points.

1598
02:05:35.840 --> 02:05:42.000
So it's a four point harness,
and it's it's the front has two places

1599
02:05:42.119 --> 02:05:45.199
and the back has two places,
and then the parachute comes up in the

1600
02:05:45.319 --> 02:05:49.039
center and then it just drops you
down. It says, listen to this.

1601
02:05:49.239 --> 02:05:54.640
The plane in parachute became entangled in
the trees about one hundred feet off

1602
02:05:54.720 --> 02:05:58.039
the ground, so the parachute got
stuck and the plane got stuck. They

1603
02:05:58.039 --> 02:06:00.560
were one hundred feet off the air. That's just insane. They said,

1604
02:06:00.600 --> 02:06:05.439
it's a modern day miracle that these
people walked away with a few scratches.

1605
02:06:06.359 --> 02:06:10.640
Yeah, And I've seen interviews with
people. There was one guy that had

1606
02:06:10.680 --> 02:06:15.159
a heart attack and lost consciousness,
and they came and got him and you're,

1607
02:06:15.359 --> 02:06:17.680
you know, man, all kinds
of things scared, but he lost

1608
02:06:17.760 --> 02:06:21.000
consciousness. How they hell did he
deploy it? Well, no, right

1609
02:06:21.079 --> 02:06:27.560
before he lost he did. And
then there are people who say that pilots

1610
02:06:27.560 --> 02:06:33.800
will take unnecessary risks when they have
it. They say that it doesn't necessarily

1611
02:06:33.840 --> 02:06:39.720
add the safety. I disagree.
The same idiot that would take unnecessary chances

1612
02:06:39.760 --> 02:06:44.520
would be unsafe in any plane.
But I think that if used properly in

1613
02:06:44.560 --> 02:06:46.800
the way it's supposed to be used, it can save lives every single time.

1614
02:06:46.960 --> 02:06:53.079
I mean if especially when people are
in weather conditions and they lose orientation,

1615
02:06:53.279 --> 02:06:55.680
they don't know where the hell.
You know one that that scares the

1616
02:06:55.760 --> 02:06:58.439
hell out of me. I thought
about it was a private jet. I'm

1617
02:06:58.439 --> 02:07:01.880
pretty sure the guy was a golf
but I guess they lost oxygen because they

1618
02:07:01.920 --> 02:07:05.920
were too high and then and then
it flew and flu and flu into the

1619
02:07:06.000 --> 02:07:11.840
ocean. It died. He was
a very famous golfer. That like freaked

1620
02:07:11.920 --> 02:07:15.199
me out. I'm like that,
that's my worst nightmare. On a commercial

1621
02:07:15.399 --> 02:07:20.239
jet, You're headed to Hawaii.
Somehow oxygen's gone, Pilots and everybody else

1622
02:07:20.319 --> 02:07:24.479
are passed out, and that's it. You're done. Rich real quick.

1623
02:07:24.520 --> 02:07:27.439
What's your comment on scams? Go
ahead, Rich, Hey Tom, just

1624
02:07:27.479 --> 02:07:30.239
real quick. You know how we
all get disgusted at these people that wake

1625
02:07:30.319 --> 02:07:32.920
up and try to take advantage of
older people and people. This great movie

1626
02:07:33.000 --> 02:07:39.800
out called Beekeeper with Jason Stadium.
It's called Beekeeper, all about scams.

1627
02:07:39.840 --> 02:07:44.079
Yeah, he gets uh I love
him by the way, I love you

1628
02:07:44.199 --> 02:07:48.319
see this movie. He gets ultimate
revenge on these people that take advantage,

1629
02:07:48.399 --> 02:07:51.680
you know, through scams. Oh, I got a long story short,

1630
02:07:51.880 --> 02:07:56.399
Oh, Yeah, he's living on
a farm, just incognito like he normally

1631
02:07:56.479 --> 02:08:00.880
does. Scammer calls the lady who
owns the house he's at, and he

1632
02:08:01.039 --> 02:08:03.640
goes off on these people. Awesome
movie. You won't believe it. Yeah,

1633
02:08:03.720 --> 02:08:07.159
what a great idea for a movie. Thank you. I'm gonna look.

1634
02:08:07.279 --> 02:08:09.520
I'm gonna look for it. Is
it on Netflix or Amazon orware sree

1635
02:08:09.600 --> 02:08:13.479
Keeper? Yeah anything. I watched
it on Accnity, but uh yeah,

02:08:13.520 --> 02:08:16.079
Beekeeper, you should be able to
find it anywhere. Thank you, I'm

1637
02:08:16.119 --> 02:08:28.199

02:08:28.279 --> 02:08:35.359
you're troubleshooter three oh three seven one
three talk seven one three eight two five

1639
02:08:35.680 --> 02:08:41.439
five. Tyler wants to do a
special today for his window washing and pressure

1640
02:08:41.479 --> 02:08:43.279
cleaning. Go ahead, Tyler,
what do you want to do? Man?

1641
02:08:43.680 --> 02:08:48.560
We're running one hundred dollars off for
the month for the remainder of the

1642
02:08:48.680 --> 02:08:54.000
month in March for any service,
any service, so pressure watching, window

1643
02:08:54.159 --> 02:08:58.199
washing, even if snow comes up, yep, now, snow removal.

1644
02:08:58.239 --> 02:09:01.399
They don't have to have a contract
with you. They can just calls yep.

1645
02:09:01.439 --> 02:09:03.720
They can just call and you'll come
one time do their driveway or do

1646
02:09:03.840 --> 02:09:07.920
their house. Yep, exactly.
So you guys should keep this number handy

1647
02:09:09.319 --> 02:09:13.640
just in case, because really there
are very few snow removal people that'll just

1648
02:09:13.720 --> 02:09:18.279
come out and do it they want. I could have used them last week,

1649
02:09:18.439 --> 02:09:20.880
man, I don't think they could
have made it out. I don't

1650
02:09:20.920 --> 02:09:22.479
think that's the whole problem. I
don't think they could have been. Who

1651
02:09:22.560 --> 02:09:26.840
was telling me, Oh, Mitch
Fleuria told me out at his house in

1652
02:09:26.960 --> 02:09:31.800
Kittridge. I think that's where he
is. Three feet. He measured three

1653
02:09:31.119 --> 02:09:35.760
feet. That's not that's not a
drift three feet. Now, by the

1654
02:09:35.800 --> 02:09:41.239
way, here's here's what it is. Trust Premiere Window dot Com or seven

1655
02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:50.560
to zero three zero zero seven eight
seventy zero nine five three zero zero seven

1656
02:09:52.560 --> 02:09:56.079
eight one hundred dollars off any service. And that's good for the whole month

1657
02:09:56.159 --> 02:10:00.439
of March. Well, we got
another ten days left, okay. Anyway,

1658
02:10:01.039 --> 02:10:05.399
let's continue here and we'll take your
calls at three oh three, seven

1659
02:10:05.439 --> 02:10:07.439
to one to three talks seven one
three eight two, five to five.

1660
02:10:07.600 --> 02:10:11.279
Now, somebody said, Tom,
you're right about assault rifles. They don't

1661
02:10:11.279 --> 02:10:15.399
care about assault rifles. They just
want to get their foot in the door

1662
02:10:15.439 --> 02:10:18.680
as soon as they get one band, then they go to the next and

1663
02:10:18.800 --> 02:10:24.479
then someone else said this Deputy Dollar, he said that that woman was definitely

1664
02:10:24.560 --> 02:10:28.119
scammed. He looked at the pictures
this morning. But what I want a

1665
02:10:28.199 --> 02:10:35.880
Deputy Dollar to find out is why
that bank gave immediate access to those funds

1666
02:10:35.920 --> 02:10:41.239
when she deposited or when he deposited
a five thousand dollars check. That's the

1667
02:10:41.359 --> 02:10:46.039
part I don't understand. Usually they
wait a while before they give you access

1668
02:10:46.119 --> 02:10:48.600
to those funds. But she was
able to take those funds out and then

1669
02:10:48.680 --> 02:11:01.920
got into trouble. Anyway, we
got more coming right up. If you

1670
02:11:01.039 --> 02:11:07.000
talk finishing up things. Premiere is
offering one hundred dollars off any service,

1671
02:11:07.039 --> 02:11:13.199
whether it be pressure washing, window
cleaning, or snow removal, till the

1672
02:11:13.319 --> 02:11:16.079
end of the month, that is, and it's you can reach him at

1673
02:11:16.159 --> 02:11:22.560
Denver CEO, pressure wash dot com
or trust Premiere Window dot com either one

1674
02:11:22.000 --> 02:11:28.159
or seven to zero nine five three
zero zero seven eight. And we were

1675
02:11:28.239 --> 02:11:33.760
having a spirited discussion off the air
about Mark being a pillar of the community.

1676
02:11:33.840 --> 02:11:39.119
I don't even know what that means. But sus who called him a

1677
02:11:39.199 --> 02:11:46.199
pillar or We're not going down that
gentleman at a bar and Parker. Okay,

1678
02:11:46.479 --> 02:11:48.359
so first of all, oh hell, he had to do it.

1679
02:11:48.479 --> 02:11:56.159
This was twenty four years ago,
which makes it more laughable. Oh yeah,

1680
02:11:56.239 --> 02:11:58.399
because twenty four years ago he was
a dredge of society. It was

1681
02:11:58.439 --> 02:12:05.560
any anyway, I want to thank
you guys for being here. Don't forget

1682
02:12:05.600 --> 02:12:11.039
you, and this is important.
Are we done? Was it? Oh

1683
02:12:11.119 --> 02:12:18.159
four? I thought it was forty
four? Okay, now it's okay.

1684
02:12:18.239 --> 02:12:20.199
I thought I thought it wasn't the
is the is the album? Is it

1685
02:12:20.760 --> 02:12:26.479
fifty eight? Oh four? At
the last hour? All right, man,

1686
02:12:26.520 --> 02:12:26.960
I'll see you
