00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:44.159
have gathered, and welcome. Now
let's go to the phones. What do

21
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.519
you say, like, Ryan wants
to talk about a mechanic and a service

22
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.280
issue. Whatever, guys, here's
the most important thing. Whatever you want

23
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:57.359
to talk about, don't let it
fester over time. You should call because

24
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.120
it's always harder to deal with it
afterwards. Man, you got all kinds

25
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:06.799
of weird stuff on your camera.
It says it is. It says that

26
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.639
it's August of twenty twenty two.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

27
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:19.039
It says mode, it says ev, it says camera battery level three.

28
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.439
I see more about your camera than
I see you. What's going on

29
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.439
here? Just turned it off?
I just so you never touch anything.

30
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.719
You've never touched anything. How does
this happen? You know that camera every

31
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.080
time you turn it on, you
have to turn that display off. That's

32
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.800
the default. But I can go, oh, I have the wrong day.

33
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.039
I never set the date on that
crap. And all I do is

34
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.360
uh and I keep it? Uh
play? How he got up and left?

35
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.719
I got up because you're getting a
delay. I got up to turn

36
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:47.960
off that thing there. Now it's
clear, see haha, All right,

37
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.159
three, all three, seven to
one three. Talk what's going on?

38
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.960
Ryan? Well? Hi Ryan,
what's happening? Hey Tom? Can you

39
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.759
hear me? Yes, sir,
what's happening? Oh? Thank you for

40
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.680
picking up my call. So I
brought my car in ninety five ford E

41
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:08.159
one fifty and on April eleventh,
I brought it in because it was having

42
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:14.560
a hard time. Did you say
an E an E E one fifty?

43
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.280
Okay? What is an E one
fifty? Is it a Pickup's a van?

44
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.400
An F one fifty is a pickup? And E is an a condo

45
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.840
line van? Got it? Thank
you Mark? Okay? So then what's

46
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.840
going on? Man? So it
was having a bit of trouble starting for

47
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.759
a few weeks and it got a
little bit worse. So I figured,

48
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.360
okay, I'll bring it in.
And the only shop that was able to

49
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.520
do it very quickly was this Firestone
in Westminster. So I bring it in.

50
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.400
Now, how'd you fall? Wait
a minute, did you just start

51
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:49.520
calling around? I actually work with
quite a few auto mechanics. But I

52
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.039
had a friend visiting from out of
the country, so I was kind of

53
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.120
in a rush to get it done. And this is the only company that

54
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.800
was willing to do it within that
week. So they also happened to be

55
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.240
a few miles from my work,
so I figured it was kind of convenient

56
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.280
in that way, all right.
So what happened? So I bring it

57
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.360
in. They give me a call
a few hours later, which is great.

58
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.000
They say, you know, we
think it's a fuel pump and you

59
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.480
need new breaks on the front and
a diagnostic is one hundred and twenty five

60
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.480
dollars. I say, okay,
well, what's what's the total cost?

61
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.000
They also threw in two other things, and I said, well, is

62
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.040
there anything we can do? So
what was it? So you did get

63
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.560
You did get an estimate, bro, you got an estimate. I got

64
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.800
an estimate. It was just shy
of two thousand dollars. And who I

65
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.720
don't make a lot of money,
but you know, it's all I had,

66
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.759
and I figured, you know what, I need this thing to get

67
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.959
to work. I needed to get
around, do my groceries, et cetera.

68
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.240
It's my own that's a lot of
money. But you were satisfied and

69
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:51.000
you did it. You agreed to
it. Yeah, it was again,

70
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.920
well, you either agreed to it
or you didn't. I did, yes,

71
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.439
okay, So now what's the problem, man? So I pick it

72
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:05.519
up, and so they did the
repairs overnight. So the next day I

73
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.879
pick it up. After agreeing to
the price, I go pay for it,

74
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:15.000
pick it up, and the very
following day it completely stalls out and

75
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.920
pies. And then it will run, it'll start, but it won't run.

76
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:23.079
So I get it towed back and
the next day they call me and

77
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.639
say that the fuel hose was not
connected the way they phrased it. The

78
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.240
fuel hose got disconnected the way I
got it. They did not connect it

79
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.519
properly. All right, that's fine. So they fixed it. They reconnected

80
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:39.199
reconnected a fuel holes exactly. So
I think, okay, easy, psy.

81
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.839
So I got to pick it up
again. And then the following day

82
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.639
it completely stalls out. It dies
when I'm driving it. I mean thinking

83
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.800
the same thing, but hold on, the original problem was probably was trouble

84
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:57.199
starting. Then it was stalling,
and it's still stalling the same way as

85
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.360
when you picked it up the first
time. Similar, but a little bit

86
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.399
Okay, got it, So what
happened now? So I check underneath to

87
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:09.439
see if there's any fuel leakage,
because if the fuel house popped off again,

88
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.800
that should be a parent I don't
see it. Wait a minute,

89
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:16.360
it popped off again. No it
did not. So I was able to

90
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.319
get it running because it would start, but I couldn't get it over fifteen

91
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:25.600
miles per hour. So I decided
to just drive it back very slowly and

92
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.560
explain to them what happened. And
they hadn't closed out the work order from

93
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.480
the previous time with the fuel hose
popping off, so they kept it open.

94
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:39.439
They looked at it, and I
get a call about eight days later

95
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:45.759
and they say, oh, it
was out of gas. In that eight

96
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.839
days. They told me that they
had swapped out the fuel pumps again because

97
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:54.920
it's under warranty, and the fuel
hose was connected and they had fuel pressure

98
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.480
and everything was fine. So I
figured, Okay, that's embarrassing. You

99
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.079
didn't see that there was no gas. I had assumed the gas tank was

100
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:05.360
full because the gauge was okay.
So so okay, so now after all

101
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.399
of this, paying two grand,
now you're out of gas. You got

102
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:15.839
gas now? What's going on?
Man? Good question. So is it

103
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:21.959
still screwing up? Absolutely? So
I pick it up and what's it doing?

104
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.839
Now? What's it doing? You're
giving me a great narration, but

105
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.519
what is it doing right now?
Just tell me what it's doing. Now.

106
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:32.160
It's the initial problem that I had
when I first brought it. Are

107
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.680
you wait? Are you kidding me? And this is after they've had it.

108
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:43.079
You kept taking it back and you
still have the original hard start problem.

109
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.040
Correct. And here's the best part. They told me. No,

110
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.759
they didn't tell me anything. They
didn't call me for over two weeks.

111
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:55.199
I called them asking for an update. Now you said, this is Firestone

112
00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:01.439
in Westminster, right, yes,
on for one three one here on streets.

113
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.560
Now, holden, what's weird is
for a while they had fixed the

114
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:11.519
initial problem, but other problems kept
coming up. Now they addressed those other

115
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.639
problems, and you went back to
the original problem. Correct. I have

116
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.000
a feeling maybe this is paranoid.
Maybe they put the old fuel punk back

117
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.120
in, because now the problem is
the first one. And they gave me

118
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.959
this explanation that it's some sort of
security issue and that if you lock and

119
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.039
unlock it it should start. And
then I asked the guy, can you

120
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.120
please show me how it works?
And he wasn't able to get it started.

121
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.159
Okay, hold on, we got
to get an expert on. Hang

122
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:43.519
on three oh three seven to one
three Talk three oh three seven one three

123
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.360
eight two five five. What the
hey is going on, folks? Any

124
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.159
ideas? Give me a call.
Let's get Kevin Colkin on it. We

125
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.080
can get him, or we can
get Jeff vic or one of our other

126
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.120
experts. Three oh three seven one
three talk. This hour brought to you

127
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.360
by gross in wellness dot com.
Love talking about the place because I am

128
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.720
a member, and what do I
mean by that? It's a clinic with

129
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.600
a doctor, MDS and nurses and
all of that, and you get your

130
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:15.000
supplements, your prescription drugs and blood
work every three months. It's part of

131
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.840
a concierge service. It's called being
proactive with your health. Even if you

132
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.360
have insurance and stuff. This well
pays for itself in my opinion, through

133
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.639
great health, and so I pay
a few hundred bucks a month. You

134
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.200
can get started for two hundred and
forty nine dollars. You can get your

135
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.120
initial blood work with no obligation,
consultation and all of that from a doctor

136
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.039
to see where you stand. And
it's well Worth at Grossman Wellness dot Com.

137
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.519
As I said, I can't thank
them enough for my health. Three

138
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.799
oh three two three three forty two
forty seven. I'm Tom Martine. Let's

139
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.440
go to the phones and see what
we can do for you. Okay,

140
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.879
so listen, I got Kevin Colkin
shared an autotech. By the way,

141
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.720
they do great maintenance for pairs.
They do electrical issues, pre buy inspections

142
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.840
for you cars. I'll give their
contact in a second. But Kevin,

143
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.799
this is so queer to me.
Okay, here's what's going on. Man.

144
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:15.039
This guy, he has a ninety
five van Ford E one point fifty,

145
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:20.559
takes it to Firestone for a hard
start, then he pays two grand.

146
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.679
After that, it wouldn't run.
It kept stalling. They fixed that.

147
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:31.320
They said a fuel hose was disconnected. It was still stalling after that.

148
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.200
Then they tell him it's out.
It was out of gas. So

149
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:43.440
they they've put gas in it or
he did. Now he has the original

150
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.080
hard start problem, which by the
way, they had fixed temporarily, but

151
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.559
it went back. Does this even
make sense to you, Kevin, Well,

152
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.159
it's tough because you know the tire
stories. They do great maintenance and

153
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.440
other stuff, but repairs and trouble
shooting, it's just not there. That's

154
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.759
not there, Forte. So let's
ask him a question, Ryan, Is

155
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:15.919
it the exact same problem that came
back? It feels exactly like the same

156
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.919
symptom. Yes, Now what that
had gone away for a while? Is

157
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.879
that correct? It seemed to have. Yes. Now, next question,

158
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:31.480
on your invoice for two thousand dollars
for the initial repairs. What are the

159
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.080
main things they did for two grand? The main things they did were the

160
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.600
fuel ponds placements and the labor for
that, and the two front brakes.

161
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.279
They claimed we're at half a millimeter
thickness. However, there was no sound

162
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.639
and I stepped on the book.
Yeah, but that's okay, that's okay.

163
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.720
You don't want sound, bro,
you don't want sound. It's too

164
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:54.080
late or that's not really too late. But hey, what do you think,

165
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.519
Mark? What do you think's going
on? Boy? I don't I

166
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.120
don't know. We just got to
call over to the Firestone. Who do

167
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.679
we have in studio? But here's
the deal, man, Kevin, your

168
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:11.320
best hunch, anything but the most
typical in those older fours that have fuel

169
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.440
pressure regulator problems to where the fuel
pressure will over pressure eyze and flood the

170
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:22.480
end of it. So it could
be intermittent. Sure, Kevin, it

171
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.600
could be a bunch of things too, right in the fuel system. They

172
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:30.759
replaced the pump and there's another issue
out there. Sure. Yeah, Now

173
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.039
the field pump wouldn't have done what
they were looking at, stalling and stuff

174
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.360
like that. That's typically not a
pump. No, No, that was

175
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.120
no. No. The original problem
he took it in for was hard starting.

176
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.679
And Ryan, when you said hard
starting, it wasn't electrical in nature.

177
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:50.480
It was more like you cranked it
and it didn't start. Well,

178
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.879
it would, it would turn over
and they would try to start, but

179
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.399
it wasn't. I don't know if
about this stuff, but it wasn't actually,

180
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.639
So that's why they did the fuel
pump, keV. Sure, sure,

181
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.240
Now it's possible, Ryan, I
would have a second look from Kevin.

182
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.120
That's what I would do. Yes, I would appreciate that any any

183
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.639
second opinion, would you? Great, let's do that first before we go

184
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.200
to war and see what the hell's
going on. Kevin is at on Colfexious

185
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.399
west of Wadsworth. But I'm going
to give you his number, it's three

186
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:26.720
oh three, four five, five
seventy two forty two and just he'll he'll

187
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:33.080
remember the call this morning and that
shared in auto tech dot com. Okay,

188
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.000
now let's talk with Let's see who's
next here. I believe it's Patrick.

189
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.440
Hi, Patrick, what's happening?
Hey? How are you doing?

190
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.200
Certain good man? What's going on
with you? I called in about five

191
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.000
months ago regarding my dog and a
bike happened with your dog? What was

192
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.440
it? What was it about?
Let me try to find your calls.

193
00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:01.120
It was the neighbor came out of
the property and U my dog attacked him.

194
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.960
Oh, they seized my dog and
I was going to court back and

195
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.919
force for it, and they called
him for help, and your viewers they

196
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.240
put a lean on my dog and
took my dog. Your viewers are great.

197
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.559
And Kenneth Manfair called me and tried
to pay for the bund and the

198
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.159
dog and I went to the shelter. They refused the payment. They said

199
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.399
you got to talk to the court. So I went to the court and

200
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.399
this is all within twenty four hours. You called back in November, ma,

201
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:30.039
bro in November, right, right? Yeah? Yeah, So when

202
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.639
they took your dog to the shelter. You were ticketed for harboring a vicious

203
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:39.320
dog. Now did you pay the
expenses and get them back? We tried,

204
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.480
Like I said, your viewers tried
to help, and then Kenneth manfair.

205
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.320
But then the state said the state
said we are in charge. Now.

206
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.000
Well, yeah, they gave him
two Foothills. So I tried to

207
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.120
pay Foothills. They wouldn't take it. I went to the court. They

208
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.679
refused payment. So where does it
stand right now? Patrick? They put

209
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.200
him down. Oh no, like
just just a few days ago. Wait

210
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:11.159
a minute. He was there since
November. He was there since October.

211
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:20.639
Oh my god. And they wouldn't
let me visit him, and I couldn't

212
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.039
get any I just got railroaded.
But what if you were willing to pay

213
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:31.120
the expenses? Would they not let
him out because they said he was dangerous?

214
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:37.879
They refused payment just period. So
why did they keep him so long?

215
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.799
Though? Was it for rabies?
No? Foothills decided to keep him

216
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.639
alive until the court case was over
and there was a judgment in the court

217
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.919
case. Okay, So what was
the judgment in the court case? The

218
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.519
possession of an aggressive animal and where
you found guilty, yes, sir,

219
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.440
And where you fined a certain thing
is on the twentieth, it's on Monday.

220
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:11.639
What could you actually get from this? I'm appealing it and during the

221
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.399
court Well, what good is appealing
it right now? If the dog's dead?

222
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.679
Or do you just not want to
pay a penalty? No, it's

223
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.799
not that. I just don't want
it to happen to other people because I

224
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:25.720
think it was wrong what they did. Now, did you defend yourself at

225
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:32.039
all? Yes? Well did you
have an attorney at all? No?

226
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.720
Oh? Man, I wish you
what a good question I got? All

227
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.399
right? One big question I got
is in the last court day, the

228
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.360
guy from Hills was there and I
asked the judge. I said, is

229
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.759
it true that because I know you
know, I'm a lawyer to interpret the

230
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.200
law, I go, can I
destroy your property before the appeals process is

231
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.279
over? And it just says,
I don't know. You got to talk

232
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.840
to a lawyer, go figure out. We're not sure because there's different types

233
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:02.639
of I would think that if you
were actually did you actually file an appeal?

234
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:08.079
When did the ruling come down?
The ruling came down les ten days

235
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:17.920
ago, and I filed an appeal
last week. So okay, and it

236
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.599
was destroyed after you filed your appeal. No before, but before I filed

237
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.559
the appeal, they destroyed him the
next day he got the shelter. Wait

238
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.359
a minute, I had to judge. Okay, So they destroyed him the

239
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:37.799
next day, not after you filed
your appeal. Well maybe they thought that's

240
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.359
because they had a ruling. They
didn't know you were going to appeal.

241
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.039
I said in court, I said, I'm appealing this case, judge,

242
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.119
can they destroy your property until the
appeals cases over? And I didn't get

243
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.960
a straight answer, so the next
day before. Now it's almost like vindictive,

244
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.680
But I don't know what you can
do about it. Patrick, What

245
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:04.079
kind of dog? He was a
massive? Okay? So listen, what

246
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.880
is your plan right now? What
is your base? What is your plan

247
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:14.400
of action? What are you trying
to get. I'm trying to get something

248
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.680
in the appeal process that well go
ahead. They were able to. I

249
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:23.000
don't know. Are they able to
destroy your property if the appeals Well that's

250
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.920
that's neither here nor there. What
are you trying to appeal about the dog

251
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.599
being vicious? How are you going
to do that? If you already lost?

252
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:36.319
Do you understand what an appeal is. People I think misunderstand what an

253
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.039
appeal is. It's not just that
you don't like the ruling and you want

254
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:45.880
them to reconsider. No, that's
not it. What an appeal is is

255
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.920
an error done by the courts,
and you're appealing on that issue. What

256
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:56.559
basis do you have for an appeal? That's my question is since and how

257
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.480
are you going to afford an appeal? Hold on, Mark? I want

258
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:07.480
first the question what is the issue
you're appealing? What is the issue you're

259
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:15.400
appealing that they destroyed my dog before
the appeal? They destroyed the dog after

260
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:27.400
the ruling? What are you appealing
about the ruling? Do you understand what

261
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:33.039
you're saying. You can't appeal the
fact that they killed your dog that happened

262
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.039
after the ruling. Now, if
you wanted to appeal because they did an

263
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:44.720
error in court, something was wrong, they destroyed evidence or something. Listen,

264
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:49.119
if you win the appeal, then
you look for civil damages for them

265
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:55.799
destroying your dog. But what are
you appealing about the case. I'm going

266
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:00.559
to ask one more time, what
is the issue you feel you have to

267
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:06.359
appeal That I requested a jury trial
and did not get one. That's not

268
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.319
an appealable thing. That's up to
the judge. Well, hold on,

269
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:11.480
I don't know if it is or
not. Actually I shouldn't say that.

270
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.160
Wait a minute, I don't know
about that. Are you saying, why

271
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:21.640
were you turned down a jury because
they said I didn't pay a twenty dollars

272
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:22.720
fighting feet and there it is,
there, it is, there, it

273
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.640
is being there you go, there, you go. Okay, I don't

274
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.519
think you can appeal that. I
don't think you can appeal it, but

275
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.960
you can try. Now Mark's question. Now, Mark's question, how do

276
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:38.359
you afford the appeal? You couldn't
pay twenty dollars? No, No,

277
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.079
that was an I couldn't. I
was in the hospital. I had a

278
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.279
pulmonary embolism and I almost died.
I was in the hospital. Oh,

279
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.559
so you couldn't pay for the jury. You couldn't pay for the jury trial

280
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:56.200
because I couldn't get into file it
and pay the fee. I wasn't physically

281
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.440
able. That's not I don't think
that's appealable. Listen, Patrick, Patrick,

282
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.759
listen, why would you appeal even
if you win? What do you

283
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.319
think you're going to Let's say you
appeal and there's a ruling that they should

284
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.839
have let you had a jury trial. Now you have it, Now they

285
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.799
reset it for another trial. What
are you hoping to accomplish in the end.

286
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:22.480
In the end, I'm hoping to
accomplish that Foothills doesn't have the power

287
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.839
to kill your dog until the process
is over. Okay. Now, if

288
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:32.000
you did, listen carefully, if
you did an appeal and the judge ordered

289
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:36.119
a new trial with a jury,
I don't think that'll happen. But if

290
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:41.960
it did, then you have to
win that case. And then after that

291
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:48.480
case, if it was found that, yes, the dog was not vicious,

292
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:56.319
then what then? What do you
want? Restitution from pain and suffering?

293
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.920
Because now you're not going to get
that. Okay. So Patrick,

294
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.759
here's what I'm saying, and you're
not gonna like this. Patrick, you

295
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:10.000
gotta move on, bro, I'm
serious. You got who's pain for all

296
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:15.079
of this right now? Me?
Well, don't you have better things to

297
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.640
do? Well? How about getting
another dog and starting over. Seriously,

298
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.519
that dog's gone now, Patrick,
I'm not being a pain anything. I'm

299
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.039
curious how the dog wasn't vicious though? How is that? How do you

300
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:33.920
plan to prove the dog wasn't vicious. How are you gonna do that because

301
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:38.680
he was only aggressive on private property. It doesn't matter because hey, listen,

302
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:44.920
a vicious dog or a dangerous dog
in Colorado is one that creates bodily

303
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:51.880
injury, causes death, or demonstrates
tendencies that would cause any reasonable person to

304
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.960
believe the dog may inflect injury.
It doesn't matter if it happened on private

305
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.400
property or in your bedroom. That's
right, Mark Patrick, Saint Patrick Patrick,

306
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:06.559
do you understand after going through all
of this, even if you won,

307
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:11.079
which you can, But even if
you won that case, first you

308
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.119
have to win the appeal. First, the appeal has to be granted and

309
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.480
won. Then you have to go
to court again if you won the appeal,

310
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.200
and then you go before a jury, and then you have to prove

311
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.400
your case. And then if you
win, you have to go for damages.

312
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:33.200
You're not going to get pain and
suffering. Why are you really?

313
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.440
You're a Patrick. You're angry because
you lost your dog. I would be

314
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.240
angry too, but please, you
are not a stupid person. Do you

315
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.079
see the folly in what you're doing? Do you see it's not going to

316
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.880
change anything at all. It's not
going to bring you any satisfaction or money.

317
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:55.240
You're simply going to be broke,
more broke than you are where you

318
00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:00.200
could just instead of doing that,
get another dog and move on. How

319
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.559
about that. I just want it
to help another people with. Okay,

320
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.880
So you're going to spend all of
your time and money to crusade for other

321
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.119
people. Here's what I'm going to
tell you. Even if you want money,

322
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:19.279
Patrick, even if you won,
it will not change one thing for

323
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.400
anyone else. Do you feel this
ruling is going to be published all over

324
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:29.119
the state and country and somehow Patrick
is going to change the way they do

325
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.559
this from here on out. Do
you really believe, really, Patrick,

326
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:38.759
do you believe that this crusade is
going to pay off? I have no

327
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:45.640
idea. Then please move on.
I mean, don't don't spend your life

328
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.200
fighting and josty at windmills. Just
do it. Go ahead and do it.

329
00:24:49.480 --> 00:25:00.240
I'm Tom Martine. Hey, I'm
Tom Martina, Troubleshooter three oh three

330
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:07.240
seven one three talks seven one three, eight two five five. Let's talk

331
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:15.839
Dan. What's going on with your
street? Dan? Okay? Am I

332
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.240
on? Yes, sir, you
are all right? Well? First of

333
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:25.480
all, Tom Martino, God I've
known you as a radio guy and I

334
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.519
ran into you one swing across the
street on Broadway. You were going to

335
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.000
get a gear roll that was a
thousand years old. Oh my god,

336
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.839
that was the economy, the Greek
economy, deli across from Channel four.

337
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.559
God, I'm telling you what.
I'm telling you what anyway? Uh you

338
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.079
know what? What can I say? You sound the same, You've got

339
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.759
the same energy level. Good on
you, buddy, and thank you.

340
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.839
I must say, though you become
a kinder, gentler Tom Martino. That's

341
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:57.279
because hold on, I'm making room
for Mark, because there's there's not enough

342
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:03.759
room for two hot heads. Anyway. The point is because you were You

343
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.200
were nice and kind with the guy
who lost his puppy back in the day.

344
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.440
He'd have been gone anyway. Well, actually, I wasn't that kind.

345
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.799
I mean, the guy's an idiot
for wanting to get you. Got

346
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.440
to draw out the nutcases. I
mean, you know, I mean,

347
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.559
I mean he's burning up radio time. Let me get to my issues.

348
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:23.920
Go ahead, sir, okay,
trust me. In the forty years that

349
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:30.000
I've been I've known you your show, and you I've only called you probably

350
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:34.160
three times in the whole time is
the most important, all right, And

351
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:40.960
we're talking about a life and death
situation involving children. Okay, here's the

352
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:48.440
situation. Visualize Mississippian Chambers. Uh, Mississippi Chamber is the intersection. There's

353
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.880
a shopping mall on the north side. On the northeast side, there's a

354
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.680
McDonald's or the Jaccalito mess rector of
I'm looking it up. So it's Mississippian

355
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.799
Chambers, yes, okay, not
the story's school there and there's another school

356
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:06.119
they say it's called Granada. Okay, Mark, are you looking it up

357
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:11.480
to online? Go ahead, go
ahead, sir, so all right.

358
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.559
So anyway, and of course there
was a seven eleven there, which recently

359
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:21.079
got closed. At any rate,
there's only one entrance at the seven eleven

360
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.200
entrance, which was the you know, the gas station of the seven eleven,

361
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:27.319
and then you continue down and on
your on your left is a dollar

362
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:30.960
store and next to that is the
school above. I'm looking at it all

363
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:36.480
so, now help me. What
am I seeing? That's bad? Exactly?

364
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.119
Well what you're looking at, well, you got to look at it

365
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:44.759
during the time the children come to
school and the time they leave. It

366
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:48.599
runs right up against rush hour,
and here are these moms. I don't

367
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.720
see the Monassori school exactly on that
corner. But no, no, it's

368
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.839
not on the corner. It's back
in the next to the door store.

369
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.880
Okay, you know that's neither here
nor there. You know, you'll you'll,

370
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:04.640
we'll tell. Okay, I'm sorry, what's dangerous? I'm sorry?

371
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:10.680
Well the danger yeah, all right? Uh once again, you know what

372
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:14.519
it looks like when when when when
parents are bringing their kids to any school,

373
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.000
you know, there's there's dozens of
cars all turning the same way and

374
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.240
they're sacked up. Now, this
is happening on Mississippi with three lanes going

375
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.680
east, three lanes going west,
and people are trying to go into that.

376
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.400
The bottom line is just shacking up. There have been numerous accidents there.

377
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:36.640
Just yesterday. I'm sitting facing uh
north on Dallid, which is you

378
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:41.240
know, right the street that that
that intersects at. And because the cars

379
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.200
are stacked up, you know,
the parents are getting frustrated and they don't

380
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.480
know why the person is not moving. They kind of hunk, they kind

381
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.160
of And this happens everywhere. I
don't care what you're saying, man,

382
00:28:52.200 --> 00:29:00.759
it happens again again. Uh,
there's been numerous accidents there. And my

383
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:06.359
point is, I challenge your you
have a great staff. I challenge you

384
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:08.599
folks on your way to work.
If anybody's over in a law Chambers of

385
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.839
Mississippi, be there and just park
and watch. Yeah, what's time to

386
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.519
do? What time would we see
staff? What time would we see it?

387
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.119
Uh? You know in the morning
seven o'clock, eight o'clock when the

388
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:22.079
kids going to school. And then
let me ask you something on what kissing

389
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.160
go lane time? They're everywhere.
Listen, if we look at you not

390
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.119
understand. Okay, again, you
have to believe me. You have to

391
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:32.319
see this, Tom. I wouldn't. I wouldn't, I wouldn't. Wait.

392
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:34.079
No, no, listen, man, I'm not discounting what you're saying.

393
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:38.039
We're just trying to clarify. If
I look at this intersection, we

394
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:42.160
have north, south, east,
and west. Where is on what what

395
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:48.160
quadrant is the school? Oh?
Oh, I see what you're saying.

396
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.200
No, it's not on the intersection
of Mississippi and Chambers. Go east,

397
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:57.680
go down, look east. Then
there's the where you turn into the seven

398
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:03.920
eleven off of Mississippi. That's the
same route the parents' sake, because their

399
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:10.279
school is straight down. And how
far down is that? I'm sorry?

400
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:15.039
How far down is from the intersection? Oh you mean from Mississippi and Chambers?

401
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.920
Yeah? Right, Just just look
down. And if you had the

402
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:23.119
map that you said to go east, how far bro how far? Oh?

403
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:29.839
Oh? What? Not even a
quarter mile? Okay? So I

404
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.799
know what you're saying. Okay,
go to Idallia. Do you see the

405
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:37.119
roet of Dahia? Well I will, but yes, I see the Idealia.

406
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.640
Yes, okay, great Now The
point is all of that that little

407
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.960
tight so there. I know they're
stacked up there and they're wanting to turn

408
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.640
on Dahlia. Is that right?
Okay? So well hold on, What

409
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:49.519
would you do then? Close the
school? What would you do? That's

410
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.960
what I'm getting at. What do
we do about okay? What do we

411
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.799
do about it? You know again
that's up to the people who get paid

412
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:03.640
to to do traffic engineering. The
point is all I'm saying is there's been

413
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:10.559
numerous accidents. Yees, have any
kids ever been hurt? I don't know

414
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.440
the results of the injuries. I
do know that one instance, which was

415
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.720
a few months ago, a car
Actually, if you'll continue looking down,

416
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.759
and you'll see there's the creek.
And something happened on that intersection and the

417
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:27.519
car got pushed out off the street
and went in between the lanes and over

418
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:30.799
the creek, went in between the
bridge, down into the water, face

419
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:37.640
down, Trump facing up fire trucks
using a hook, trying to lift the

420
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:45.519
car in between. Please tell Okay, by the way, I am looking

421
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:51.160
at this area where the Montessori school
is, and what he's talking about is

422
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:56.720
Mississippi in the street. And all
I can say is, I don't see

423
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:02.039
how they can change it. I
don't know what you do about it.

424
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:07.200
That's the main issue, not that
it may not be dangerous. I don't

425
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:09.759
know what you do about it.
Dan, if you have any suggestions,

426
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.240
hang on and just give us specific
examples of what you would do. I'm

447
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:52.279
that he had this starting problem and
and he took it to Firestone, Westminster,

448
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.160
and he screwed around with them,
spent two grand blah blah blah.

449
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:00.960
Anyway, he's gonna have it looked
at. What is your comment, Well,

450
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.799
they might have been on the right
path, but here's goes back to

451
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.640
keep your parts, keep your old
parts. Here's why on his van,

452
00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:12.480
there's when you replace a fuel pump, you can put a fuel pump in

453
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.480
it, or you can put a
whole unit in there. Here's a big

454
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:17.639
difference on a ninety five. Tell
me what you mean by a whole unit,

455
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:22.880
Jay. The whole unit comes with
a new fuel saw to pick up

456
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:27.400
tube as sending unit for the fuel
gauge. It has a new check valve

457
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:31.000
in it and a new little electric
motor which is the pump. Now,

458
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:37.239
you can also take two little hoses
loose, put a brand new electric motor

459
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.519
in there, which is the pump, and have a brand new fuel pump.

460
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:45.719
But those commonly have a problem,
really common where the check valve inside

461
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:51.760
the tank inside that big unit starts
losing the ability to seal. And when

462
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.679
you shut your car off, all
your gas strains back. You don't have

463
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:58.360
any fuel pressure. And every time
you go to start it, you have

464
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:04.000
to build pressure. Oh that's genius. How long have you been How long

465
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:07.320
were you in the car? Biz? Oh? Most all of my life?

466
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:12.639
Really? I mean, Jay,
I I recognize you from your comments.

467
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:16.320
That's that is That is such a
great explanation of how it drains back

468
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:21.199
and causes a lack of fuel pressure
and basically you end up having to prime

469
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:23.199
it again. But I mean,
for lack of a better word, wow,

470
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:27.920
thank you, Jay. I hope
he's listening on that one, and

471
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.119
I'm sure Kevin Caulkon will find it, but thank you. Three oh three

472
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:35.480
seven one three eight two five five. So listen, here's the deal.

473
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:45.440
I looked at this intersection and the
Montessori school and I can see where you

474
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:50.119
know, people will be turning in
off of Mississippi and could cause a problem.

475
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.639
But I don't see an answer.
And all I'm going to ask,

476
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:57.400
I'm not going to belabor this,
Dan, if you have specific recommendations,

477
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:05.719
what are they? Number One,
the responsibility falls to the school because the

478
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:12.199
school is where they're going, and
so what what can they do about them?

479
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.480
An agency? What can they do
about it? If there's a school,

480
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:17.159
if I can, if I can, if I can finish my point.

481
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:24.559
The school needs to communicate to their
student body and the parents and give

482
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:29.719
them some instruction on this. Either
don't use that intersection. They can.

483
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:34.440
They can come down to Mississippi and
Chambers, take a rite and then turn

484
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:37.840
into the bank right behind the McDonald's
and get in there safely. Yeah,

485
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.880
I'm sure the bank would love that. No. No, no, the

486
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:44.320
bank is on the side. No, no, it has nothing to do

487
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:46.800
with the bank. It's a common
street. Again. That's all I have

488
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:52.639
to say. And my point,
Tom is that as I say, I've

489
00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:57.159
seen what you've done over the years, and you know, I challenge you

490
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:01.599
or your staff to sit there and
then you'll get the You'll get the urgency,

491
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:07.800
the urgency of all of this because
we're talking about children who are being

492
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.679
forced, you know, to go
to this. Everybody have to have to

493
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:15.760
take your child to school, so
you know the I'm wondering why other I'm

494
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:20.280
wondering why parents have not complained about
it, Dan, exactly exactly. Listen,

495
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.199
when I was waiting during your herd
breaks, I was saying the same

496
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:27.320
thing. Am I the only person
that has has said this? And you

497
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.199
asked me about accidents? I don't
know how to track the accidents at that

498
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:35.360
inter section, but you do and
you can get that information. And I'm

499
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:38.800
so can you can and that is
through the police department. It's that easy.

500
00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:44.239
Well again, my I'll leave you
with this, sir. I don't

501
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:45.719
want to take your radio time.
I'll leave you with this. First of

502
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.280
all, once again, nice talking
with you. The point, yes,

503
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:54.039
sir, you or your staff get
there during the entrance or the extra Why

504
00:37:54.039 --> 00:38:04.119
what could we possibly change down?
I'm telling you again, you will see

505
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.440
what I mean when you do it. I okay, it's the worst thing

506
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:09.320
I've ever seen in my life.
Now what Dan, what he's saying is,

507
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:14.599
even if we observe it, what
do you think will change it?

508
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:16.960
Like like, I don't think the
school. The school could put up a

509
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:22.840
memo saying this is the traffic pattern. I've seen other schools that do that.

510
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:25.360
They'll say, please don't turn on
this street, please use this street,

511
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:28.840
please do this yes, yes,
okay, no, okay, I

512
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:30.559
see okay, So I see where
you're going with this. So let me

513
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:35.039
let me go down the road a
bit further with this. Oh my god,

514
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.559
man, Hey, Dan, I
can't Dan well, And this is

515
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:42.000
such a Dan, then Dan,
Dan, this is such a local I

516
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.239
can't I can't take up time to
do it. What you need to do

517
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:52.000
is email Dan, Bro. This
this does not affect ninety nine point of

518
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.519
my audience. So what you can
do is email me, and I swear

519
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.679
to God I will look at it
and forward it to the school. I

520
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.599
will, Okay, But here's the
deal, Bro, I just can't take

521
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:08.639
the time to talk about redirecting the
traffic flow for a school on an intersection

522
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:14.320
when no one has the power to
do that. The school can ask parents

523
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:19.440
to please abide by this traffic pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if they already

524
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:22.280
do it. I don't know,
but I just email me, okay,

525
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:27.599
email me what you think instead of
taking up the radio time for it.

526
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:32.440
I'm serious. I appreciate that you
care, but there's not much really other

527
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:37.039
people are going to care listening to
this at this point. Now, Marina,

528
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.880
what's going on with you? Hi? Marina, what's happening? Hi?

529
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:45.320
Tom? Hey, what's happening?
I am getting married on July seventh,

530
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:52.519
and we had rented a VRBO like
in February for our party and they

531
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:57.280
were going to allow us to have
you fifty to sixty people. Well,

532
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.440
we went to go look at the
places. One Sea Barn. When we

533
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.039
went to go look at it,
it had a mildew smell in the basement,

534
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:09.639
really bad. So you reserve the
VRBO in February for use in July.

535
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:16.199
Yep. And so, and you
inspected it when it was in April,

536
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:23.599
and then in April when you inspected
it in April, that's when you

537
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:29.719
found it to be mildewy. Yep. And this is just besides the point.

538
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:31.400
It's going to lead up to what
Well, I'm sorry, keep going,

539
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:35.800
then keep going yep. So anyway, what happened is we brought it

540
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:38.320
to their attention and we said,
hey, have you been in there.

541
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:43.320
It smells mildewy. Our kids are
going to be down in that basement sleeping.

542
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.239
We think that they were offended,
and they canceled our reservation. They

543
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:50.440
said it's not a good fit for
us. Is this the owners that did

544
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:53.679
this? Yep? Sure sure was. So that was April twenty third,

545
00:40:53.800 --> 00:41:00.480
and remember we're getting married July seventh, So I had to take twowo days

546
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:06.440
to find another place for our wedding
reception. Wait, you were going to

547
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:08.960
have your whole reception. You were
going to have your whole reception in this

548
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:13.559
house. Yep, it was a
party, So you would have freaked me

549
00:41:13.639 --> 00:41:15.320
out too. Just as a side
note, if you called me up and

550
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:20.159
you were going to remind allies and
you start talking about mold and children,

551
00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:22.840
I tell you to hit the bricks. You know. I think they just

552
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:28.159
are afraid of liability and all that. So what happened then? So then

553
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:31.400
what happened is that they cancel it
on the twenty third. Took me two

554
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:36.039
days to find another place for our
wedding party. Yeah, I get it.

555
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.880
Okay. I found the Monarch Hotel, you know, the casino,

556
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:45.840
and we rented the balcony signature suite, made the reservations, let them know

557
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:47.320
that we were going to have fifty
to six. So that whole other story

558
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:52.480
had nothing to do with the problem. It's a timeline thing, is what.

559
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:57.000
Okay, got it. So you
switched to Monarch for the reception,

560
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:01.039
and you did that in April yep, April twenty sixth is when we did

561
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:05.679
our reservation. Okay, got it? So now keep going. Then what

562
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:09.840
they said there was no problem having
fifty to sixty people in that balcony signature

563
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:15.360
suite. So we then changed all
of our invitations for all of our party

564
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:21.360
to let them know they reserved their
rooms to stay at the Monarch. And

565
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:23.480
then we go to inspect that,
you know, to go check it out

566
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:30.480
and for decorations. And we went
with the event planner and she said that

567
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.880
was fine. Fifty to sixty people, no big deal. Then ten days

568
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:40.119
later we get a call from the
director of hotel operations, Nicky, and

569
00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:45.159
she said that we could not have
fifty to sixty people in that twenty two

570
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:50.360
hundred square foot room and that so
did they cancel. And what they did

571
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:54.079
is then they let us go to
the Penthouse. They were going to upstrade

572
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:59.559
us to the Penthouse no extra charge, which was awesome, and they said

573
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:02.880
that there there's no problem with fifty
to sixty people. Then we went and

574
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:08.519
looked at the Penthouse with the director
of sales. Her name's Paper, and

575
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:12.400
we went and looked at it.
I'm wondering if there's an end to the

576
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.559
story, keep going though, I
mean, and I understand that you want

577
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:21.280
to give me every single detail.
Okay, so did the penthouse workout or

578
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:24.679
not? Well? No, long
story short, So they canceled our reservation.

579
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:29.159
They said, then wait, wait, wait, why did hold on?

580
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:31.679
I thought you said they were going
to upgrade you to the penthouse.

581
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:38.000
That's exactly what happened. And then
they then why was it canceled? They

582
00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:42.159
said that that was too many people. They could only have twenty one people

583
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:45.000
in that penthouse and it's a very
large room. Well hold on, but

584
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:50.000
they knew you were going to have
fifty to sixty, right exactly. That's

585
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.079
why we need your advice, so
hold on. They can't so wait a

586
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:58.000
minute, wait a minute. The
hotel made a reservation for you, and

587
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:04.559
then change and called and said,
we can't have you in the original room

588
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:08.800
you booked. Now you have to
go to the penthouse. But the penthouse

589
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:14.679
we can't have you there either.
Why would they even recommend an upgrade to

590
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:20.239
the penthouse if the same number of
people. I don't understand. You can

591
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:23.559
only have fifteen or twenty in the
original room, and in the penthouse you

592
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:28.360
can only have fifteen or twenty.
Why would they bother switching you at all?

593
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:31.519
Why not just cancel? Exactly?
That is our problem. Well hold

594
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:35.960
on, Well you have to you
know, you're the one telling the story.

595
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:38.760
Maria, Marina, I need to
know when they called you and said

596
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:46.199
you can't you can't have your reception
in the original room because there are too

597
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:52.280
many people. However, we're going
to move you to another room and there

598
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:55.199
will still be too many people.
Now didn't you say, well, wait

599
00:44:55.199 --> 00:45:00.800
a minute, that doesn't make sense. Trust me, We've gone back and

600
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:04.920
they must have listened. They must
have given you some idea. Why did

601
00:45:04.920 --> 00:45:08.760
the fire department get involved? They
must have told you something. They did.

602
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:12.519
They said that that was just too
many people for that room, and

603
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:16.280
they said that there can only be
one person every fifteenth Okay, okay,

604
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:23.360
so Marina Marina, So the same
number of people are accommodated in the original

605
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:30.480
room and in the penthouse. Right, yes, So by upgrading you did

606
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:35.880
not do you any good? Right
no? So okay, so now you're

607
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:38.840
canceled. You're canceled. Well,
one thing I can tell you for sure.

608
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:44.639
They can't. You don't have a
contract. Now now wait, hold

609
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:46.719
on, did you have to pay? Did you did money? Did money

610
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:52.880
exchange hands? Yes, we paid
money for the original room? Really?

611
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:57.599
And did it did it specify how
many people? Did you have a contract?

612
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.559
We didn't sign a contra. But
we did mention many times at phone

613
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:05.280
records. Yeah, it doesn't matter
if you mentioned stuff. I mean,

614
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:07.039
listen, I don't know if you
had a contract or not. That's the

615
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:09.400
story. But I don't know if
you had a contract or not. But

616
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:17.199
I got some suggestions coming right up. Hold on him, Tom Martino here

617
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:23.800
three h three seven one three talk
seven one three A two five five Marina.

618
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:28.760
I can't decide if you had a
contract or not. It doesn't sound

619
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:30.760
like one. It sounds like a
normal reservation. But let me explain what

620
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:36.400
they did. Send us an email
giving us an upgrade to the penthouse,

621
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:40.480
offering all of our guests that were
staying there a twenty five dollars amenity.

622
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:45.400
So people have booked this hotel.
Our wedding is less than two months.

623
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:50.480
We were told by the Marina sales
director in hotel. I'm going to say

624
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:52.920
that. I'll say the same thing
again in case you didn't hear me.

625
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:58.840
I am not sure if you had
a contract or not. I am thinking

626
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:04.519
you did not. That's just my
thought. But were they all going to

627
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:07.679
sleep there? No? No,
no, just my husband and I were

628
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:12.199
going to sleep there? Now,
Okay, I do think you had some

629
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:19.880
kind of reliance and there could be
a consequence to them doing this, if

630
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:23.360
it could, if it was deemed
unconscionable, they should have told you sooner.

631
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:29.199
It's too late. Here's the thing. You're obligated to try to mitigate

632
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:34.760
any damages, so to try to
find another place for a venue. And

633
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:38.039
at the same time, I'm not
sure what damages you would have against them.

634
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:43.920
Okay, I'm not sure. I'm
saying that, do you have a

635
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:49.519
breach of contract? How much were
they going to charge for this venue?

636
00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:52.079
It was like four thousand dollars.
Are you bringing in all of your own

637
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:55.719
food on it? Well, that's
the other problem. We have a cater

638
00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:00.239
we had a DJ. All this
is non fundable. Ye no, wait

639
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.800
wait a caterer and a DJ.
But you still have a caterer and a

640
00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:07.679
DJ. Well, now we don't
have a place to have our wedding in

641
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:12.760
it. I'm not I didn't say
that, but you did not cancel the

642
00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:17.119
caterer yet or the DJ. Is
that correct? Exactly? It's non refundable,

643
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:21.239
But we don't have a place.
It's a marina. Do they don't

644
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:25.840
have to tell me you don't have
a place. I understand that you have

645
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.719
everything except a place. So what
you need is a place. What I'm

646
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:37.960
saying to you is you have an
obligation to try to mitigate damages. What

647
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:44.480
we need to figure out is they
were going to charge you four thousand dollars

648
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:49.159
for that venue. Okay, I
understand, and now they say they can't

649
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:53.159
do it. My question is this, do they have anywhere in that hotel

650
00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:59.880
that can accommodate fifty guests? They
do their banquet room, but it's not

651
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:05.360
that's not something that we want that. It's not more of a meeting room.

652
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:08.360
So did they hold on, Marina, I'm not asking if you want

653
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:15.119
it or not. Did they offer
you any alternative? They offered us that,

654
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:19.400
but they wanted to cater it themselves, and we'd also have to pay

655
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.039
for a bartender. We already have
that we've already So Maria, if you

656
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:28.960
took that other option, they would
not allow you to have the caterer you

657
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:32.920
already paid exactly. Well, then
that would be a loss. You can't

658
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:37.079
do that. What about this?
How much? Did how much did you

659
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:43.119
pay for that venue? And are
they refunding it? They will refund it,

660
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:49.079
okay, So forth, have you
tried to look for a place for

661
00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:54.360
fifty people. I did, and
there's nothing available except for really expensive places.

662
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:59.440
It's so like, how much more? How much more would it cost?

663
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:05.159
There's places that would be like ten
thousand dollars? Okay, and you

664
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:10.159
were prepared to pay four Is that
right? Exactly? Okay? Now one

665
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:15.519
of the things you could do is
now, again, I'm not sure if

666
00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:21.440
you have a binding contract or a
detrimental reliance, what happens if the reason

667
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:25.039
is whoever rented it out to or
didn't realize it's against fire code. I

668
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:29.480
mean, I would assume that's an
out on their side for the contract.

669
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:32.119
Well, if it was a contract, it may not be an out,

670
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:36.920
because just because they made a mistake, it would be they'd have to do

671
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:39.719
something. But I don't know they
even had a contract. I guess what

672
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:44.280
I'm saying is this, you need
to find a place. If you can't

673
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:46.559
find a place, now you've got
a big problem. But you understand,

674
00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:50.960
Marina, there's going to be a
limit to your damages. You're not just

675
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:52.320
going to be able to say,
well, now you owe me for this,

676
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:54.199
and you owe me for that,
and you owe me for this,

677
00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:59.519
and now I got to change my
wedding. And I mean, just so

678
00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:02.599
you know there, you don't just
go to the candy store now start collecting,

679
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:07.559
even if you had a contract.
But I don't even know if you

680
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:09.639
did. Now we can talk to
an attorney to see what they think.

681
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:15.679
You know, having a contract,
then you would have a break it in

682
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:17.159
order to even do that. Time
we got to see what the hell she

683
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:22.239
signed that we didn't shine anything.
That's the problem. Well, then you

684
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:28.840
don't have a contract. She signed
an email mark and we had this discussion

685
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:34.039
once before. Is as restaurantract?
Yeah, and I don't think a reservation

686
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:39.599
is a contract unless she didn't.
You say you exchange money. We did

687
00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:43.440
know they did gave money. Oh
wait, you did. He gave us

688
00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:46.480
a proposal with all these things that
they were going to give to us for

689
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:51.920
our guests and for ourselves for them. Let's you know what, Let's get

690
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.400
let's get an attorney on I'm serious
to talk about the elements of a contract

691
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:59.719
to see what. But I want
to ask you a quote. Let me

692
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:02.320
ask a question real quick. When
you talked about the other place with the

693
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:07.480
mold smell or the mold, you
said the kids would be sleeping in the

694
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:12.199
basement. Now all of a sudden, it's only you and you are soon

695
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:15.079
to be a husband. That would
be in the suite. So where the

696
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:19.199
kids going to sleep? Oh,
they're going to have hotels at the Monarch.

697
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:24.360
We already booked all their hotel rooms. They'd yeah, they're older kids,

698
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:28.599
they're older kids. Oh, I
get it, okay, So listen

699
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:35.840
the hotel rooms and our guests.
There's about twelve also hotel rooms. Okay,

700
00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:40.880
and they're coming in from out of
state. They did they say because

701
00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:45.159
it was their screw up, or
they didn't tell you right away and they

702
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:49.079
waited ten days? Did they say? What do you think they would relent

703
00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:52.880
on the catering thing? Do you
think they would let you use your own

704
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:58.280
caterer in that banquet room? They
said that they they it was against hotel

705
00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:01.639
policies that they have cater it there. But Tom, we don't want that.

706
00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:07.599
It's a meeting room. It's not
it's not a nice I get what

707
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:10.800
you're saying. No, I get
what you're saying. I just don't.

708
00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:15.079
I don't know why when you booked
it, if they knew there were fifty

709
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:21.000
people, why they one realized probably
hotel management, you can't have that many

710
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:27.639
people in that room because of fire
code that they did they offer any By

711
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:30.920
the way, why would they let
you rent a suite and have a caterer

712
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:34.719
but not the banquet room and have
a caterer. I don't understand that part.

713
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:37.639
If it's against policy to bring food
in, why would it be okay

714
00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:43.159
in the suite that you rented.
You know, we had so many different

715
00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:46.199
stories told to us by the director
of sales, the director of hotel operations,

716
00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:51.360
and the event manager. These are
all the three people that told us

717
00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:55.079
it would be okay to have fifty
to sixty people in that balcony signature suite.

718
00:53:55.280 --> 00:54:00.920
And this Marina, those are the
people that Marina. Marina, you

719
00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:07.400
keep bringing up the same stuff over
and over and over, and all I

720
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:10.519
asked was this, No, No, Marina, I know you're upset.

721
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:15.840
Hold on, I'm asking you this. Did they know you were going to

722
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:21.039
have your own caterer in that room? Yes? They did? Okay,

723
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:24.599
Now what about this? What?
I think there's a few ways to approach

724
00:54:24.639 --> 00:54:28.920
it, depending on how strong of
a case you think you have. You

725
00:54:29.039 --> 00:54:34.679
keep referencing emails and reliance and all
of that, so you could book a

726
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:38.039
more expensive place and then sue them
in small claims court for the difference,

727
00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:44.079
saying that you had no choice but
to pay more if it's going to be

728
00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:47.159
comparable. But you don't get to
just go out and find a taj mahal

729
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:52.519
and say they have to pay for
it. But it wouldn't be unreasonable to

730
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:57.760
expect them to help you get another
place. How do you know that without

731
00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:01.920
seeing anything she signed? Mar I
just said, and I said it a

732
00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:08.880
million times, I don't know if
she has a contract or if she would

733
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:15.400
prevail. What I said was you
could rent a more expensive place and then

734
00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:22.280
go after them for the difference.
I did not say she would win,

735
00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:27.920
nor did I say she had a
contract. But that is one option to

736
00:55:28.199 --> 00:55:32.239
consider. That's all I'm saying.
So you're no one's going to know how

737
00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:37.079
you're saying she's got a contract.
What's that you're saying she's got a contract?

738
00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:39.639
YEA, yeah, you're right.
Okay, Now listen, Marina.

739
00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:44.920
What I want to do is I
want to get an attorney on for an

740
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:47.719
opinion. That's the least we can
do and see what they think. I

741
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:52.159
just I just don't think you have
a contract. Maybe you do, but

742
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:58.480
I think that you definitely have a
problem, and you would think the monarch

743
00:55:58.679 --> 00:56:00.599
would do more to at least help
you out of it. And in fact,

744
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:05.199
I would like Deputy Doc in the
studio to call Marnark and say,

745
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:08.199
hey, you know this kind of
isn't fair. You know you might be

746
00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:13.079
able to do something. Do they
have adjoining suites where they would allow this

747
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:17.800
many people or not? No,
penthouse was the largest, like over twenty

748
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:22.400
two hundred score feet and how many
okay for the penthouse, how many people

749
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:25.920
would they let in? Twenty one? So we'd have to alternate, is

750
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:30.199
what they said? Twenty one people
allowed, and then those people would have

751
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:32.760
to leave our party. Yes,
then we can allow. Do they have

752
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:38.079
two penthouses that could be adjoined.
I don't believe, so, I don't

753
00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:42.239
know if they're a joined or not. Hey, Deputy Doc, would you

754
00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:45.679
call them? I'm serious. If
you have the name of the director of

755
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:47.920
sales, Marina, we want to
call them. Three oh three seven one

756
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:59.000
three eight two five five. Hi, Tom Martino, your troubleshooter three oz

we going to get an attorney on
for that? I mean she hung up,

760
00:57:14.039 --> 00:57:16.280
but I want to get an attorney
on to talk about that. Did

761
00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:20.199
you get her number or did she
just hang up? I want a deputy

762
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:22.719
doc to call up there as well. Uh, did you get her information?

763
00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:25.800
Does she know we're working on this? Yes? So I gave her

764
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:30.280
information to deputy doc. And he's
actually making a call to Monarch right now.

765
00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:34.719
I mean, I think it's worth
a question or not it excuse me,

766
00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:37.719
an inquiry or two. I mean, this woman's under pressure, she's

767
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:40.320
getting married. Daniel, what's going
on with you? Daniel? Welcome to

zero three seven to one to three
talk seven one three eight two five five.

770
00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:51.119
It's just good to bounce stuff around
like this for people. What's going

771
00:57:51.159 --> 00:57:54.400
on? Daniel? Hey, Tom, thanks for taking my call. I'm

772
00:57:54.440 --> 00:58:00.320
having an issue with a contractor after
last years. What's going on? So

773
00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:06.039
it was basically long story endless.
You know, a roof, gutters,

774
00:58:06.119 --> 00:58:07.880
paint, and some garage doors,
normal hail damage stuff. Oh it was

775
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:12.119
all hail damage. Okay, And
where'd you find the place? The people

776
00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:16.280
to do it. One of my
friends that used these people before. And

777
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:21.000
you know, I just called them
and they came over. So and okay,

778
00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:24.079
and who is it? Did you
actually contract with them? Yes?

779
00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:28.920
They did, And who is it? It was a Storm Solutions LLC.

780
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:37.199
Storm Solutions Okay, and they do
everything. Yeah. I signed a contract

781
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:42.280
with them that they would take care
of the full scope of my insurance claim.

782
00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:46.599
When did you do that? You
know that was back in the stormers

783
00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:52.760
in June. So I think July
or August okay of twenty three, of

784
00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:54.400
course, right, yeah, just
last year. Yeah, Okay, listen,

785
00:58:54.440 --> 00:58:58.360
one thing I wanted to say that
one thing I wanted to bring up

786
00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:05.679
that sounded a little danger to me. They said something about they'll handle the

787
00:59:05.719 --> 00:59:08.320
insurance. Tell me how they worded
that. I mean, they didn't specify

788
00:59:08.519 --> 00:59:15.719
specifically what you get and how much? Uh yeah, so they did essentially

789
00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:21.199
they didn't want to include it originally
the agent and I said, every damage

790
00:59:21.199 --> 00:59:25.800
that is included in my insurance claim
numbered you know, X, y Z

791
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:30.159
will be covered for the amount,
you know, the amount the insurance company

792
00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:34.280
will pay plus you know, when
they when they go back and ask for

793
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:37.400
me, Daniel or Daniels or something. Daniel, Yeah, I'm asking.

794
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:42.719
Did they say you need siding,
you need roofing, you need this,

795
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:49.239
you need that, or did they
say whatever your insurance company says. They

796
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:52.639
they agreed with what the insurance company
said. So yes, they said I

797
00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:57.800
needed paint. Did they wait?
Did they do your estimate before the adjuster

798
00:59:58.039 --> 01:00:01.639
or after the adjuster? They did
it concurrently. I scheduled it, so

799
01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:05.840
the adjuster came up. Okay,
Daniel, let me just say this for

800
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:07.679
people you didn't call in to get
a ration of crap. But let me

801
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:13.840
say this for people listening, never
ever, ever do what Daniel did.

802
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:17.280
Ever, you will screw yourself every
time. Now here's what I want to

803
01:00:17.320 --> 01:00:22.599
tell people listening, and then I'll
get to your problem. Never do it.

804
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:27.440
If you have the adjuster and the
contractor work together, you will never

805
01:00:27.639 --> 01:00:32.199
know ever if you got what you
really needed or if they cheaped out,

806
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:38.159
Because a contractor who wants a juicy
insurance job would meet with an adjuster and

807
01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:43.480
they'll make deals. The contractor.
Let's say, if you called out a

808
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:47.400
contractor on their own, they may
look at the job and think you need

809
01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:51.559
this, and you need this,
and you need this and you need this

810
01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:59.079
call it a bushel, a bushel
of things that you need because the contractor

811
01:00:59.119 --> 01:01:04.920
is looking at it from a pure
contracting standpoint of what needs to be done.

812
01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:08.639
Now, instead of doing that,
you have the contractor come out with

813
01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:15.920
the adjuster or after the adjuster.
Now you have a different situation. Now

814
01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:19.639
the contractor's thinking, I want this
job, so I'm going to make the

815
01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:24.039
adjuster happy. So instead of getting
this bushel of things that you need,

816
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:29.360
he's going to parse it down and
you're going to get a half a bushel

817
01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:34.360
because he wants the job. So
the adjuster and the contractor come to an

818
01:01:34.400 --> 01:01:42.239
agreement, and now you never know
what you were supposed to get or not,

819
01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:47.000
because instead of having an advocate on
your side, you now have two

820
01:01:47.079 --> 01:01:54.920
people working to get the job done
on their terms. So people listening never

821
01:01:55.119 --> 01:02:00.840
do what Daniel did. When it
comes to having a contractor. You make

822
01:02:00.159 --> 01:02:07.239
the contractor or the roofer. You
make them commit themselves to what they believe

823
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:13.440
you need and how much it will
cost. Why is that? Because guests

824
01:02:13.519 --> 01:02:16.880
want if it won't cost as much
as your insurance company is willing to pay,

825
01:02:17.199 --> 01:02:22.320
you get extra money if it's going
to cost more then you're gonna ask

826
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:25.119
the insurance for more money. So
never do that. Now we're gonna come

827
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:36.639
back and talk about a specific problem
right after this. Hi, Tom Martine

828
01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:40.639
here three oh three seven one three
talks seven one three eight two five five.

829
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:45.320
Welcome to the show. And uh, let's go back to Daniel.

830
01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:47.400
Daniel, I don't want to run
out of time, so I'm gonna take

831
01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:51.199
I'm gonna keep you, so go
ahead and tell us what happened with the

832
01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:54.320
contractor. Go ahead, So,
Tom, the quick and dirty of it

833
01:02:54.360 --> 01:02:58.239
is, we weren't done with the
painting yet, they got weather it out.

834
01:02:58.239 --> 01:03:00.960
There's a little touchup to do.
Yeah, and he wanted his a

835
01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:04.519
couple of cash value check. He
wanted to check from the insurance to come

836
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:07.639
in. He he signed the form
for me saying the work was complete,

837
01:03:08.719 --> 01:03:10.840
sent it in. So I got
a check and I had no idea.

838
01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:14.840
I didn't. I purposely didn't sign
it because he didn't Finny. Wait,

839
01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:20.239
wait, he forged your name.
Yes, that's why I'm calling wow.

840
01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:23.519
And so he got the check.
The real cut, Well, well here's

841
01:03:23.559 --> 01:03:27.960
the real problem. The real problem. Well, let me look what the

842
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:30.440
problem was. There was still an
open issue with my garage door. They

843
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:35.119
found two panels that were damaged.
They're going to pay for him. My

844
01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:37.159
painter says, hey, look I
painted a darker color. This whole door

845
01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:40.760
is dented. You could what you
should submit and have every panel changed.

846
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:44.639
I said, great. I called
them. They got the ball rolling.

847
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:47.280
He forges my name, sends it
in, sends it's all done. So

848
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:52.079
now I'm not getting the garage door
out of the deal. Forges my name,

849
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:57.000
Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel
hold on. We got two isshes.

850
01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:01.679
Yeah, we got two issues here. We have the garage door and

851
01:04:01.719 --> 01:04:06.599
then we have the paint. Those
were the only two things not done.

852
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:10.920
Paint done. They came out and
they finished it the day. Okay,

853
01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:15.480
okay, after they forged your name. What I was going to say is

854
01:04:15.960 --> 01:04:20.719
the real harm would be if they
claimed it was done and did not finish

855
01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:25.000
it. But they claimed it was
done. I know it's wrong, but

856
01:04:25.079 --> 01:04:28.480
they claimed it was done before it
was done. Then they came out and

857
01:04:28.519 --> 01:04:32.079
finished it, so the painting was
finished. Correct, correct? Okay,

858
01:04:32.119 --> 01:04:39.840
Now, as far as the garage
door, was that garage door noted when

859
01:04:39.880 --> 01:04:45.800
your adjuster and the contractor got together
and came out. Originally Yes, they

860
01:04:45.840 --> 01:04:51.920
found three panels out of the seven
that were damaged. And so the adjuster

861
01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:58.360
and the contractor acknowledged that up front. Is that right? Better? Correct?

862
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:01.719
Well, you said you had a
contract saying they would fix whatever was

863
01:05:01.719 --> 01:05:08.760
wrong. That's true. So you
can go to your insurance or you can

864
01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:13.559
go to a contractor. You have
a contract that says whatever the insurance company

865
01:05:13.599 --> 01:05:16.559
says, so enforce it. Hold
on. If I'm getting something wrong,

866
01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:30.239
Yeah, ripped off bad news.
You need advice, so you don't have

867
01:05:30.400 --> 01:05:38.480
the come running just as fast as
we can show. Shooter's gonna help.

868
01:05:38.760 --> 01:05:45.679
Come. This is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martinez, Hi, I'm

869
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:49.920
Tom. Welcome to the show.
Three oh three seven one three talk seven

870
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:54.360
one three eight two five five.
This hour brought to you by eight eight

871
01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:59.800
eight Heating dot Com. And by
the way, that is the twenty eight

872
01:05:59.800 --> 01:06:03.840
dollar risk free service fee. For
twenty eight bucks. You get them to

873
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:09.000
your home and they will service one
item anything to do with plumbing like your

874
01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:13.719
water heaters or your faucet or whatever. And they do the basic service and

875
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:15.519
that's for twenty eight bucks. Now, if you need any major repair,

876
01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:19.679
they credit you the twenty eight bucks
risk free service fee. All you pay

877
01:06:19.719 --> 01:06:24.480
is twenty eight bucks three oh three
seven seven zero two seven seven six.

878
01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:29.239
All right, Now, hey,
have you Daniel like? Have you have

879
01:06:29.360 --> 01:06:34.880
you seen this gas that's coming?
What do you mean, Mark? Well,

880
01:06:35.360 --> 01:06:42.079
starting in July, it looks like
our gas prices could go up fifty

881
01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:45.159
one cent somewhere around there. Some
people are saying a little less. Some

882
01:06:45.199 --> 01:06:51.039
people are even saying a dollar a
gallon because not only the summer fuel blend

883
01:06:51.119 --> 01:06:59.800
is coming, but the EPA has
mandated that we change over to this new

884
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:04.840
ass starting July. Once again,
that's called god. I can't even I'm

885
01:07:04.840 --> 01:07:13.079
trying to find it here, reformulated
gasoline because we have such bad emissions in

886
01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:15.519
Denver. So there's some place just
wait, wait, Mark, is it

887
01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:19.599
just Denver? Well, that's the
part. It looks like it's the front

888
01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:25.280
range. But if you live like
it looked like even El Paso County was

889
01:07:25.320 --> 01:07:29.800
involved. But if you go to
the western slope it appears as if it's

890
01:07:29.840 --> 01:07:32.239
not. I can't quite tell who's
got to do it and who doesn't.

891
01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:38.199
But can you imagine literally having a
jump of fifty cents to a dollar in

892
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:43.239
some areas? But then you drive
five or six miles and it's fifty cents

893
01:07:43.360 --> 01:07:48.199
or a dollar less. That would
completely crush businesses. Wow, and you

894
01:07:48.199 --> 01:07:51.960
don't have to worry about it,
smart ass. I don't know if that's

895
01:07:53.039 --> 01:07:58.000
true, man, that's the problem. I can't I can't figure out who

896
01:07:58.119 --> 01:08:02.039
has it or not. And right
now I'm looking it KDIVR article. I

897
01:08:02.079 --> 01:08:05.800
mean, this is happening in a
few weeks, man. Yes, here's

898
01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:13.800
what's crazy. It's a cleaner they
call it a cleaner fuel blended to emit

899
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:20.479
fewer smog ingredients. More than just
oxygen oxygenated fuel. It's more than that.

900
01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:28.439
They have other additives, and it's
required in high ozone areas. So

901
01:08:28.560 --> 01:08:32.800
wherever there's a high ozone area,
they are going to force this blend on

902
01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:39.640
us. And it will be fifty
cents to one dollar more more, not

903
01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:45.279
just fifty yes, per gallon,
fifty cents to a dollar more. And

904
01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:50.960
it begins June first to September fifteenth
in affected areas. Now, and it

905
01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:59.960
says the EPA downgraded the Front Range
metro area as a severe violator of ozone

906
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:04.960
pollution standards. Now, Governor Jared
Polis, of course, who is the

907
01:09:05.239 --> 01:09:09.920
uh? Nevermind I don't want to
get into it. Well, he's against

908
01:09:09.920 --> 01:09:13.840
it, he's trying to get away. That's right, that's right. The

909
01:09:14.279 --> 01:09:19.560
evil twin of Gavin Newsom is actually
fighting this, and well not fighting it,

910
01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:24.399
he's asking them to reconsider. I
mean, that's not a joke,

911
01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:29.640
man, You're talking twenty to thirty
percent higher. That's just it's unfathomable.

912
01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:33.159
Yeah it is. Now let's go
back to Daniel. Now, Daniel had

913
01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:36.840
the contractor come to do some storm
damage. To make a long story short,

914
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:42.640
it's really very simple. The contractor
met with the adjuster. They agreed

915
01:09:42.720 --> 01:09:45.159
on a contract of everything wrong.
They noted the garage door was dented,

916
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:51.279
and let's just get right to it. Okay, the garage door wasn't replaced

917
01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:57.119
or the panels, so it was
on the original estimate. Your insurance agreed

918
01:09:57.159 --> 01:10:00.880
to it, the contractor agreed to
it. Get it done. I mean,

919
01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:05.319
it's that simple, Daniel, without
overthinking this. No, no,

920
01:10:06.680 --> 01:10:11.119
we're missing one part. We're just
missing one part. The part is where

921
01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:15.720
they found the additional damage. They're
going to place all the doors that here

922
01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:17.479
that was open. I called my
agent, she said, I'm going to

923
01:10:17.520 --> 01:10:21.000
look at it. I'll get back
to you this week. While she was

924
01:10:21.039 --> 01:10:25.319
looking at it, he forged my
name and sent it in that the work

925
01:10:25.399 --> 01:10:30.039
was complete. When I talked to
her, she said, oh, I

926
01:10:30.079 --> 01:10:32.800
dismissed that because you just sent me
the paperwork. Okay, I got it

927
01:10:33.039 --> 01:10:35.720
all right. Yeah, so now
you didn't do it. He did it.

928
01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:40.880
You didn't do it. He did
it. Now that document that was

929
01:10:40.920 --> 01:10:44.720
sent in, I thought you said
was only about the painting, but it

930
01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:48.800
said all work was complete. Correct. It says everything is done, We're

931
01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:51.800
done. Send us to now,
Daniel. I want to know something.

932
01:10:53.720 --> 01:10:58.640
When he sent this document in the
contractor, did they get paid? Yes?

933
01:10:59.399 --> 01:11:03.039
Okay, So why did you Here's
what I need to know. Why

934
01:11:03.079 --> 01:11:10.279
did you assign the claim to the
contractor? I know all the checks came

935
01:11:10.319 --> 01:11:14.279
to me. I didn't sign it
completely, okay, So then so then

936
01:11:14.600 --> 01:11:18.279
why did you pay the contractor the
final check? Then I have not paid

937
01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:24.640
him the final check you told me, you told okay, I'm going crazy.

938
01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:28.520
You told me he got the first
check, then he signed and said

939
01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:30.479
everything was complete and got the second
check. Did you tell me that?

940
01:11:32.479 --> 01:11:38.279
No, they sent me the second
check the first okay, good, excellent,

941
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:42.359
So you have the second check check
greater. No, the second check

942
01:11:42.399 --> 01:11:45.720
came into a couple of cash value, but to the paint and the gutter.

943
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:53.600
Daniel, Yeah, Daniel, Okay, So how much total has the

944
01:11:53.640 --> 01:12:00.520
contractor been paid so far? About
eighteen thousand dollars? How much do you

945
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:06.199
owe him if everything was complete?
How much do you owe him? Twenty

946
01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:11.439
four thousand dollars? Okay, So
for the for the money left, you

947
01:12:11.479 --> 01:12:15.319
have the check, right, Yes, I have the money. That's fine,

948
01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:19.319
it's no issuet. What's that?
Yeah? I have the check.

949
01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:26.920
How much is the second check?
How much is the second check of eighteen

950
01:12:27.079 --> 01:12:30.720
thousand and yeah? So it's twenty
thousand dollars. Yeah, that's what the

951
01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:38.560
turnout to me. Okay, so
you've got check. Daniel. You talk

952
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:42.560
in four tongue because I don't understand
you. Okay, you said the whole

953
01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:48.880
job, the entire job was bid
out at how much it began at thirty

954
01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:53.479
two thousand and went up? Okay, never mind your your your figures makes

955
01:12:53.479 --> 01:12:56.399
sense, Okay, I got it. Okay, So he's been paid eighteen

956
01:12:56.439 --> 01:13:00.520
and you got another twenty right correct? Okay, Well it's very simple.

957
01:13:01.239 --> 01:13:04.680
What you do is get the garage
if he won't fix the garage, get

958
01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:12.199
it fixed, and deduct it from
the twenty That's what I was what I

959
01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:14.279
was thinking. I was gonna say, what would you do in my situation?

960
01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:16.640
That's exactly what I would do.
You're in charge at your house.

961
01:13:17.079 --> 01:13:24.000
If if it's on the original insurance
claim and he didn't do it, if

962
01:13:24.039 --> 01:13:27.199
he won't do it, get someone
else to do it and pay them.

963
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:30.239
That's it. Yeah. But the
problem is that got canceled by the insurance

964
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:38.800
because he forged the document. What
got canceled, what got canceled. The

965
01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:42.520
rest of the garage doors that were
damaged. He was going to replace all

966
01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:45.439
the garage doors are going to damage, so those need to be replaced ongoing.

967
01:13:45.960 --> 01:13:48.920
Daniel forged it, and that's what
they took away. Okay, Dan,

968
01:13:49.000 --> 01:13:54.119
you don't understand. Daniel. Look, I totally understand. And what

969
01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:59.560
I'm saying is this, Your twenty
thousand will more than replace those doors,

970
01:13:59.640 --> 01:14:03.720
right? Is that right? Correct? Okay? And then the balance will

971
01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:11.680
go to the contractor what am I
not understanding? What do I do about

972
01:14:11.720 --> 01:14:15.199
this forging of beeps of my name
on a document? And I'm worried about

973
01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:19.640
the insurance implications because that's fraud in
my name. Well, first, first

974
01:14:19.640 --> 01:14:24.840
and foremost, okay, first and
foremost, you're not a party to it.

975
01:14:25.720 --> 01:14:30.199
You're not. You're not in a
position to do anything because it didn't

976
01:14:30.199 --> 01:14:33.439
harm you. Your insurance company is
the one that was harmed. Your insurance

977
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:39.359
and the contractor was harmed. Because
you're going to take that twenty and you're

978
01:14:39.399 --> 01:14:43.600
going to pay for your garage doors
a reasonable price. You're going to pay

979
01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:45.520
whatever the insurance was going to pay. You're going to take out of that

980
01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:49.520
twenty, and then you're going to
give the balance to the contractor and let

981
01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:54.479
the insurance company deal with the forgery. When you say the deal, you

982
01:14:54.479 --> 01:14:58.640
know, I don't. I am
not seeing what you're seeing. You got

983
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:02.119
the money to fix your garage yours. If the contractor wants that entire twenty

984
01:15:02.119 --> 01:15:04.359
it ain't. That's the thing.
No, No, I didn't have the

985
01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:09.000
money. That's why if they didn't
give me the full money to fix all

986
01:15:09.039 --> 01:15:13.920
the garages, they gave me to
six three panels. It's I'm gonna say

987
01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:16.720
this again, Daniel. You have
a check right now for twenty grand Is

988
01:15:16.760 --> 01:15:23.800
that correct or not? Yeah?
Okay? Is that an Daniel? Is

989
01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:29.880
that twenty enough? To pay for
the garage doors. Of course it is

990
01:15:29.960 --> 01:15:33.960
you know that, okay? And
will you have money left over? Cause

991
01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:41.319
that money, that money is to
be sent to the contractor. Now here's

992
01:15:41.359 --> 01:15:45.840
what you're saying. What if I
was, what would you say to the

993
01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:48.840
contractor? That's what I'm calling,
okay, I would say to the contractor.

994
01:15:49.079 --> 01:15:55.960
I would say to the contractor,
I am subtracting from the last check

995
01:15:56.439 --> 01:16:04.800
work that you left undone. And
the contractor is going to say this,

996
01:16:05.640 --> 01:16:12.560
well, Daniel, I had a
supplement going and I was going to get

997
01:16:12.640 --> 01:16:15.920
more than twenty. I was going
to get twenty for the work done,

998
01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:19.239
and there was some extra money for
the doors. And you're going to say,

999
01:16:19.720 --> 01:16:24.439
well, you deal with the insurance
company because you forged it. You're

1000
01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:28.640
not going to get that now they
canceled it. Now if you're telling me,

1001
01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:31.840
I thought originally what you were saying
is this in a perfect world.

1002
01:16:32.439 --> 01:16:36.880
In a perfect world, what would
have happened is you would have told your

1003
01:16:36.880 --> 01:16:43.319
insurance that the doors still have to
be done. The insurance may have had

1004
01:16:43.479 --> 01:16:46.319
a little more than twenty. You
got the twenty, maybe there would be

1005
01:16:46.359 --> 01:16:50.159
another three or four grand they would
have paid on top of the twenty.

1006
01:16:50.600 --> 01:16:56.520
But theoretically all of that money would
have gone to the contractor in a perfect

1007
01:16:56.560 --> 01:17:02.439
world. But because the supple mental
claim was canceled due to the forgery,

1008
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:09.119
all you got was the twenty.
So now you have to take matters into

1009
01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:14.960
your own hands and fix that garage
door or the doors and give the contractor

1010
01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:19.760
the balance. Okay, it's that
easy. Now the contractor is going to

1011
01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:24.800
say, wait a minute, what
about my supplemental claim for the other doors,

1012
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:29.800
And you're going to say, that's
on you because my insurance company canceled

1013
01:17:29.800 --> 01:17:34.960
the supplement because you forged the form. The contractor will suffer for forging the

1014
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:42.199
form. Okay, just by not
getting the money. Essentially, the insurance

1015
01:17:42.239 --> 01:17:45.680
well, they're getting all. But
I don't know how much scro I don't

1016
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:48.560
know. Let's say your garage door
is going to cost three or four grand

1017
01:17:48.560 --> 01:17:55.159
to fix whatever. I don't know
how much your garage doors are going to

1018
01:17:55.239 --> 01:18:00.399
cost, but you subtract it from
the twenty. I completely understand that.

1019
01:18:00.439 --> 01:18:04.119
But and I appreciate your advice.
What if the well, I mean,

1020
01:18:04.399 --> 01:18:08.840
do you want something more like some
kind of an arrest or something, because

1021
01:18:08.840 --> 01:18:11.319
it's not gonna happen nothing, No, no, no, no to I

1022
01:18:11.319 --> 01:18:15.359
want this to be done and over
with. Now are they bugging you for

1023
01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:18.800
that twenty? Are they bugging you
for that twenty? He was, That's

1024
01:18:18.800 --> 01:18:24.920
why he sent him the form saying
everything was gone. Okay, So now

1025
01:18:25.039 --> 01:18:28.079
is he bugging you? Is he
bugging you for the twenty right? Now?

1026
01:18:28.600 --> 01:18:33.119
Does he know you have the check? No? I would call him

1027
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:40.520
and say, look, you forged
my name. They canceled any extra money

1028
01:18:40.560 --> 01:18:43.479
you may have had coming. I
do have a check for twenty grand,

1029
01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:48.920
but I need to subtract from that
for the garage repair. I would just

1030
01:18:48.920 --> 01:18:51.239
do it, call us back,
tell us what he does, because that's

1031
01:18:51.279 --> 01:18:56.960
exactly what the way it works out. Why not just to have him admit

1032
01:18:57.039 --> 01:19:00.439
to your insurance company if you really
want to get this done, that he's

1033
01:19:00.479 --> 01:19:02.720
the one that signed it. Then
they'll open it up, resend the check.

1034
01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:08.439
Well, they already sent the twenties. And because because I wouldn't bother,

1035
01:19:08.600 --> 01:19:11.720
because why do I care? I
have enough to fix everything. Why

1036
01:19:11.720 --> 01:19:15.560
do I care? It's just the
contractor suffering from his work, from his

1037
01:19:15.359 --> 01:19:21.520
from his deed. Now, if
you're afraid the contractor will put a if

1038
01:19:21.560 --> 01:19:26.239
you're afraid the contractor will put a
lean on your house or something. No,

1039
01:19:26.319 --> 01:19:30.600
you not take care. Okay,
well then because the contract you see,

1040
01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:32.920
the way I look at it is
you got the contractor dead to write.

1041
01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:38.159
You got the contractor the insurance company. You never signed it. Now,

1042
01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:42.359
by the way, this was electronic, right, But what and electronically

1043
01:19:42.560 --> 01:19:45.840
was it sent? Was this letter
truly sent from you? Or was it

1044
01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:49.800
sent from the contractor? Did the
contractor try to make the illusion it was

1045
01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:55.760
from you? He sent He sent
me the forum where the IP addresses where

1046
01:19:55.760 --> 01:19:58.159
it was signed, and that was
in a different county than I live in.

1047
01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:00.680
So no, I'm not asking about
it IP address. I'm asking about

1048
01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:06.960
what he signed. Did he sign
your name electronically? Okay, that's wrong,

1049
01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:11.600
man, You got the proof,
that's it? So you did you?

1050
01:20:11.960 --> 01:20:14.119
I told you how I would handle
it. You can handle it any

1051
01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:15.880
way you want. Three oh three
seven one three talk seven one three eight

1052
01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:21.199
two five five Patrick? What's going
on? Hell? You know? Tom?

1053
01:20:21.279 --> 01:20:25.239
Just one's give you an update?
Now? Which one is this?

1054
01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:30.399
Patrick? Which one is this?
So this is a small claims that you

1055
01:20:30.399 --> 01:20:32.760
guys helped me with and find.
But which one it? Does? It?

1056
01:20:32.920 --> 01:20:36.520
Have to do with uh, it
has to do with work that I

1057
01:20:36.560 --> 01:20:42.920
had done last fall. It was
all sprinkler blowouts for a rental company and

1058
01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:48.560
okay, twenty of them, yeah
you you uh okay, and and uh

1059
01:20:48.800 --> 01:20:54.000
what happened, Well, they just
never paid me and they just never write

1060
01:20:54.119 --> 01:20:59.800
me, and right, yeah,
and the reason was is that just go

1061
01:20:59.840 --> 01:21:04.039
back real quick, is that we
I do scheduling online, okay, and

1062
01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:08.279
so my whole thing is online,
and so they tried to They did this

1063
01:21:08.319 --> 01:21:10.439
whole thing by sending me a list, and I was like, all right,

1064
01:21:10.439 --> 01:21:13.560
well I'll try to get you guys, you know, in with my

1065
01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:17.840
whole thing, because they dumped this
on me, like another fifty at least

1066
01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:21.760
when I'd only done one property.
And I said, yeah, I'll fit

1067
01:21:21.840 --> 01:21:26.920
you guys in. And then at
some point they had someone else come out

1068
01:21:26.960 --> 01:21:29.840
and do a few, but they
didn't tell me, and so we still

1069
01:21:29.880 --> 01:21:32.800
had to drive out to these properties
from Bolder to Denver. Yeah, and

1070
01:21:33.239 --> 01:21:36.039
I told them that, you know, if I have to drive from Bolder

1071
01:21:36.079 --> 01:21:41.680
to Denver, I'm missing jobs,
and so you have you still have to

1072
01:21:41.680 --> 01:21:45.479
pay for them if you didn't tell
me that they got done. And they

1073
01:21:45.520 --> 01:21:49.079
decided not to pay me for any
of them. Did you win though,

1074
01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:57.079
Well, I filed it and the
sheriff went and served them, and this

1075
01:21:57.119 --> 01:22:00.840
is why I'm calling. Yeah,
it's if they're going to do the small

1076
01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:03.920
claims, pay the share of forty
two dollars to go serve them, because

1077
01:22:04.199 --> 01:22:09.079
they instantly got back to me and
they're going to pay me. Excellent,

1078
01:22:10.640 --> 01:22:14.920
excellent. You know Mark has found
that that most of the time when he

1079
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:21.279
served a company, they would call
and either pay or negotiate something almost I

1080
01:22:21.279 --> 01:22:25.680
mean not almost, Mark every single
time. Did you ever have to go

1081
01:22:25.720 --> 01:22:30.039
to court? Mark ever? One
time? Mediation? One time at of

1082
01:22:30.119 --> 01:22:36.039
say twenty and which one was that? It was a telephone company. I'm

1083
01:22:36.079 --> 01:22:40.560
not going to say who it was, but it was a cell phone company,

1084
01:22:40.600 --> 01:22:45.920
extremely well known. But but why
did they decide to go and negotiate?

1085
01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:48.720
Well, I don't think. I
think they finally started giving it thought

1086
01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:53.600
a day before court and they didn't
know what to do and it was too

1087
01:22:53.720 --> 01:22:57.920
late for them to do anything but
show up in mediation, so they cut

1088
01:22:57.960 --> 01:23:02.399
me a check at mediation for man
I wanted. Okay, hey, Tom,

1089
01:23:02.439 --> 01:23:08.439
do we give Patrick a dinger for
solving his own problem? For sure,

1090
01:23:08.520 --> 01:23:13.600
give him dos dinger, dude.
Well hold on, okay here,

1091
01:23:14.039 --> 01:23:16.960
I didn't get to check yet.
But what I'm trying to say is is

1092
01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:21.920
that if you, if you get
someone served, pay. It was forty

1093
01:23:21.960 --> 01:23:27.920
two dollars to have the sheriff show
up and serve this to some secretary and

1094
01:23:27.960 --> 01:23:31.039
Garrett, we got a break,
dude, we got a break. That's

1095
01:23:31.079 --> 01:23:33.760
gonna go straight. I thought I
did. I didn't take the fifteen,

1096
01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:36.600
did I. I'm in big trouble, my god. Let me give you

1097
01:23:36.600 --> 01:23:43.479
a dinger and then we're out of
here. Okay, I think all right?

1098
01:23:43.920 --> 01:23:51.680
More coming up, Hi, Tom
Martino here at THREEO three seven one

1099
01:23:51.760 --> 01:23:58.640
three talk three oh three seven one
three eight two five five. All right,

1100
01:23:59.199 --> 01:24:05.199
So we have had a variety of
issues here right. Oh my gosh,

1101
01:24:05.279 --> 01:24:10.319
I can't believe what an action pack
day already, So get your calls

1102
01:24:10.359 --> 01:24:14.840
in three oh three seven to one
three talks seven one three eight two five

1103
01:24:14.960 --> 01:24:18.600
five. So the point that I
was making about serving Mark is that the

1104
01:24:18.640 --> 01:24:25.239
Sheriff's Department makes a bigger impression when
you them. Using them is kind of

1105
01:24:25.279 --> 01:24:28.239
hard. A lot of times they
won't go that extra mile, nor do

1106
01:24:28.319 --> 01:24:30.800
I think they should. I have
never done that. But most of the

1107
01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:35.000
companies I sue. It's not like
a residence or an individual. It's a

1108
01:24:35.039 --> 01:24:41.039
big company to where they already have
that very easy place to serve in the

1109
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:45.640
state. Yeah. So, but
the point I think his main one of

1110
01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:50.920
his main points was hey, you
know, let's get you know, let's

1111
01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:55.239
get someone to serve that'll make an
impression. Yeah, but I don't think

1112
01:24:55.319 --> 01:24:58.960
if you're suing a company. I'll
just give an example like a Microsoft.

1113
01:24:59.680 --> 01:25:01.520
You know, when you walk in
to serve them, you're just putting it

1114
01:25:01.680 --> 01:25:05.079
right in that box. They don't
care who puts it in there. That's

1115
01:25:05.159 --> 01:25:10.600
right, A big company, he
doesn't care. Now have you seen the

1116
01:25:10.640 --> 01:25:16.359
billboards mark that Wyoming the state of
Wyoming took out. I don't know if

1117
01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:27.319
it was the state. Actually it
was LCSO lcsowy dot org. Anyway,

1118
01:25:28.439 --> 01:25:31.800
anyway, you know what it said, No, And okay, they're downtown

1119
01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:36.600
Denver. And here's what the billboard
says. It has a picture of Larimer

1120
01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:43.880
County Sheriff's Department Laramie County, I
mean Laramie and it has four deputies standing

1121
01:25:43.920 --> 01:25:51.640
there and it says work in Wyoming
where breaking the law is still illegal and

1122
01:25:51.800 --> 01:25:57.880
cops are funded. Think about that. You know my favorite part of the

1123
01:25:58.039 --> 01:26:01.479
county Sheriff's office. Oh okay,
I'm sorry, I'm scare. So they're

1124
01:26:01.479 --> 01:26:05.600
the ones that did it. Yeah, yeah, that's where my daughter is

1125
01:26:05.640 --> 01:26:11.359
in law school. So I actually
liked that. And and by the way,

1126
01:26:11.840 --> 01:26:14.640
I yep, I just looked up
the website. They're right on the

1127
01:26:14.640 --> 01:26:17.920
front. They're just basically saying,
you know where right is right and wrong

1128
01:26:18.039 --> 01:26:20.720
is wrong. Man. They're saying, if you're a cop in Denver and

1129
01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:26.000
you're sick and tired of arresting people
that beat the crap out of people or

1130
01:26:26.039 --> 01:26:29.680
steal cars, and then see him
the next day on the street, come

1131
01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:35.119
over here where we actually give a
yep. That's what they're saying. Sheriff

1132
01:26:35.119 --> 01:26:42.079
Brian Kozak authorized it. He was
elected. What did Denver just do?

1133
01:26:42.239 --> 01:26:45.840
What did they just do the other
day? Yanked another eleven from the Denver

1134
01:26:45.880 --> 01:26:50.560
pleage? Yeah, yep, yep, yep. You know what, And

1135
01:26:50.640 --> 01:26:54.800
now gas is going to go up
a buck. What do you think about,

1136
01:26:54.960 --> 01:26:57.520
Well, the new mayor doesn't have
anything to do with that, but

1137
01:26:57.560 --> 01:27:00.239
he died. Blame them all.
But the new mayor what do you think

1138
01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:02.359
about the new mayor? Really?
What do you think about him? I

1139
01:27:02.439 --> 01:27:05.159
can't stand him. He looks like
a child as well, he looks like

1140
01:27:05.199 --> 01:27:11.000
he's seventeen. Anyway, he's got
the wit. He's got the wit of

1141
01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:19.680
an eight year old. So as
far as that billboard the mayor has,

1142
01:27:19.800 --> 01:27:23.079
oh wait, wait, hold on, I want to say one more thing

1143
01:27:23.119 --> 01:27:27.399
about the PD in Denver. And
you know what they just changed, or

1144
01:27:27.439 --> 01:27:30.520
they're changing it next month. If
you don't have tail lights or a head

1145
01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:34.119
light out, or if you have
expired plates, they are no longer going

1146
01:27:34.199 --> 01:27:39.520
to pull you over, period,
end of story. That's right, So

1147
01:27:39.640 --> 01:27:42.279
why renew? I'll tell you what. If I lived in Denver, I

1148
01:27:42.319 --> 01:27:45.239
would never renew my plates. If
you don't leave, who gives a crap?

1149
01:27:45.399 --> 01:27:47.720
You don't have to pay taxes like
everybody else, don't renew them.

1150
01:27:47.760 --> 01:27:51.000
In fact, don't do anything to
your car either. You got break lights

1151
01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:56.079
out, headlights out? You can
kill somebody, no problem. In Denver,

1152
01:27:56.359 --> 01:28:01.199
we don't give a sh hey sham. And he's coming really close to

1153
01:28:01.279 --> 01:28:03.680
that full word. Hey, Mark, you know what they ought to do.

1154
01:28:04.000 --> 01:28:08.399
They ought to pull the people over
and give them a warning, because

1155
01:28:08.439 --> 01:28:13.079
I think it would help for safety
if people it wouldn't wait, they just

1156
01:28:13.199 --> 01:28:15.439
let you loose people up until what
a year ago, Doc, You could

1157
01:28:15.479 --> 01:28:18.680
steal a car if it was under
ten grand, and they could care less.

1158
01:28:18.800 --> 01:28:24.880
All I'm saying, if the cops
still cause with defective lights, it

1159
01:28:24.920 --> 01:28:29.039
would and just gave them a warning. Doc. They don't listen. You're

1160
01:28:29.079 --> 01:28:33.399
missing the entire point. That's harassment
in Denver PD's eyes or the mayor's eyes.

1161
01:28:33.520 --> 01:28:36.880
I know. If you're not the
point over for a low level of

1162
01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:43.359
fence, all you're doing is profiling. That's what they're saying again, insulting

1163
01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:48.600
again, insulting minority communities by saying
it's racist, because what they're saying is

1164
01:28:49.000 --> 01:28:56.159
most problems are caused by Blacks and
Mexicans, and we can't do anything about

1165
01:28:56.159 --> 01:29:00.119
it because that would be racist.
And I don't agree that most of those

1166
01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:05.199
problems are just among minorities, and
but what they're doing in Denver and in

1167
01:29:05.319 --> 01:29:12.800
Colorado is exacerbating the problem by bringing
up those differences and making excuses for their

1168
01:29:12.840 --> 01:29:25.279
stupid laws. We have more coming
up, Hey, Tom Martine here three

1169
01:29:25.359 --> 01:29:30.960
oh three seven to one three talks
seven one three eight two five five so

1170
01:29:31.640 --> 01:29:35.119
whatever is on your mind, we
want to help you today at three oh

1171
01:29:35.239 --> 01:29:40.319
three seven one three talk. By
the way, that talk speaking of that

1172
01:29:40.399 --> 01:29:47.439
billboard uh in downtown or around Denver
talking about how work in Wyoming we're breaking

1173
01:29:47.560 --> 01:29:55.960
the law is still illegal and cops
are funded. The mayor said it's off

1174
01:29:56.079 --> 01:30:05.159
base and bristled at it. He
says the City of Denver's adjustment to the

1175
01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:16.399
Denver Police Department's budget was carefully crafted
so there is no impact on the department's

1176
01:30:16.479 --> 01:30:25.840
public services. To say that Denver
is defunding the police is a wilful mischaracterization.

1177
01:30:26.359 --> 01:30:30.399
Well, doesn't defunded mean you take
money away from something? Yeah,

1178
01:30:30.720 --> 01:30:32.720
that's what I call it. They
took him a lot of money away,

1179
01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:38.239
and they took eleven million away.
But only in the lefty liberal world.

1180
01:30:38.560 --> 01:30:45.720
Is that not defunding somehow, that's
probably funding the police now. Anyway,

1181
01:30:46.039 --> 01:30:55.039
here's the bottom line. Johnson told
the media last week that he's diverting some

1182
01:30:55.159 --> 01:30:59.680
of the money to help newcomers.
Now, By the way, isn't it

1183
01:30:59.680 --> 01:31:04.159
funny how they create new terms to
speak of people and newcomers? Hey,

1184
01:31:04.199 --> 01:31:09.800
these we shouldn't be surprised though they're
the same ones that change the definition of

1185
01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:15.319
vaccine. This is going to better
serve the migrants that come into our city.

1186
01:31:15.920 --> 01:31:16.960
Now. I don't mind, by
the way, you know, being

1187
01:31:17.000 --> 01:31:23.960
reasonable and helping people who are you
know, truly seeking a better life and

1188
01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:28.479
asylum and all that, but at
the expense of people who live here and

1189
01:31:28.600 --> 01:31:31.079
work their asses off. Come on, man, when are people going to

1190
01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:34.000
get When are people going to revolt
on this? When are they going to

1191
01:31:34.039 --> 01:31:44.279
rebel against this kind of government spending
and these policies. When is it going

1192
01:31:44.319 --> 01:31:50.039
to happen? How just how far
is Colorado going to go before it goes

1193
01:31:50.079 --> 01:31:55.199
the other way? Will there be
a pendulum swinging? Or is it simply

1194
01:31:55.239 --> 01:31:59.399
going to be craziness? You know
what? I hope, really hope happens

1195
01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:03.159
that Trump wins And I might have
my dates wrong here, but he wins

1196
01:32:03.279 --> 01:32:08.359
nationally, he wins the popular vote, and I think that's very possible.

1197
01:32:08.560 --> 01:32:12.319
I think he's going to win the
presidency because the electoral College. But if

1198
01:32:12.359 --> 01:32:15.800
he wins the popular vote, who
does Colorado vote for? Do you remember

1199
01:32:15.840 --> 01:32:21.439
Tom the popular vote? Colorado must
go with the popular vote. They do

1200
01:32:21.520 --> 01:32:25.880
not have a vote of their own, So wouldn't that be an in your

1201
01:32:25.960 --> 01:32:30.680
face move. If all these Dems
had to give the electoral votes all to

1202
01:32:30.760 --> 01:32:35.079
Trump because he won the vote,
how long would it take for that rule

1203
01:32:35.159 --> 01:32:41.760
to change. No, it won't
change they because the popular vote is always

1204
01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:45.640
going to go to the highly the
densely populated areas, which are New York,

1205
01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:49.159
La, Chicago, all of the
liberal services. You're assuming, You're

1206
01:32:49.199 --> 01:32:54.199
assuming these people aren't fed up.
I know we disagree on that. Well,

1207
01:32:54.760 --> 01:32:57.560
not that they're not fed up,
is that they'll put up. I've

1208
01:32:57.600 --> 01:32:59.680
told you, That's all I said. I don't think so. They'll put

1209
01:32:59.720 --> 01:33:02.000
up with pain and misery for the
sake of being right. I don't know.

1210
01:33:02.039 --> 01:33:05.960
When you have one hundred thousand people
turn out in New Jersey for Trump,

1211
01:33:06.239 --> 01:33:10.279
Wow, you know it's going to
be an interesting year for sure.

1212
01:33:10.439 --> 01:33:15.680
Again, I think, Mark,
I think something you said might be correct

1213
01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:21.319
in that I am maybe I am
looking. I try to look at all

1214
01:33:21.399 --> 01:33:26.800
points of view, and maybe I'm
putting too much weight on the point of

1215
01:33:26.840 --> 01:33:31.000
view I'm viewing about the hatred for
Trump and they disdain for him. Maybe

1216
01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:35.239
I'm putting too much emphasis on that
because they're so much stronger in their opinions

1217
01:33:35.800 --> 01:33:40.560
than those who are for him.
I mean, they're pretty adamant people for

1218
01:33:40.640 --> 01:33:46.359
him. But Mark, if you
ever hear the hatred spewed for the conservative

1219
01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:48.840
way of life, oh my god, I've heard it right from my own

1220
01:33:48.880 --> 01:33:53.760
parents. Come on, for Trump, when you hear that hatred, what

1221
01:33:53.840 --> 01:33:59.399
you think is, how could he
ever overcome that? You see that?

1222
01:33:59.680 --> 01:34:04.159
Because when people have to decide between
I mean you can. God, I

1223
01:34:04.159 --> 01:34:09.039
don't even need to give examples,
but how about eating, uh, compared

1224
01:34:09.039 --> 01:34:13.720
to daycare, compared to ever taking
a day off or both people working?

1225
01:34:13.800 --> 01:34:16.880
I mean, everything's different. Man. Okay, now go queer quick here,

1226
01:34:17.279 --> 01:34:21.920
Shane, what's your comment on gas
prices? Go ahead, Shane,

1227
01:34:24.079 --> 01:34:28.039
I just wanted to say I heard
Michael Brown talking about that subject. I

1228
01:34:28.079 --> 01:34:32.720
think it was this morning. Yeah, and when hektin Loper left office.

1229
01:34:33.359 --> 01:34:39.399
Before he left office, he applied
for that later with the EPA when Jared

1230
01:34:39.479 --> 01:34:45.239
Plins was elected, he rescinded that
a waiver and canceled it. So he

1231
01:34:45.439 --> 01:34:49.760
created this problem. Yeah, and
now he's trying to look like the Wait

1232
01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:53.800
a minute, hero, wait a
minute, you're you're telling me that Polis

1233
01:34:53.920 --> 01:35:00.359
actually canceled it. Yes, yep, yep. Why because he wanted them

1234
01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:05.199
to come down more on Colorado's air. Think about it. He's got his

1235
01:35:05.359 --> 01:35:11.159
uh, you know right, environmental
buddies to please. You're right, You're

1236
01:35:11.199 --> 01:35:15.880
absolutely right. They have to.
They have to always worship at that altar.

1237
01:35:15.960 --> 01:35:30.479
We have more coming right up.
Hi, Tom Martino, you're a

1238
01:35:30.520 --> 01:35:34.239
troubleshooter. Three to zero three seven
one three talk seven one three eight two

1239
01:35:34.319 --> 01:35:38.119
five five. Go ahead, Tony, you got to comment on business.

1240
01:35:38.119 --> 01:35:48.199
What is your comment, Tony?
Hi, Tony you there, Tony Okay,

1241
01:35:48.600 --> 01:35:51.640
I don't know what to do,
Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony,

1242
01:35:51.720 --> 01:35:56.600
Tony. All right, you guys
have to help me out here.

1243
01:35:56.800 --> 01:36:00.199
He's not talking. So let's go
to Kevin. Kevin, what's going on,

1244
01:36:00.319 --> 01:36:06.199
Kevin? How you doing, good
man? What's going on? Well?

1245
01:36:06.640 --> 01:36:12.039
You talked about rebelling, and I
came to this state in nineteen eighty

1246
01:36:12.199 --> 01:36:16.319
six with about thirty five dollars in
my pocket, no job, no car,

1247
01:36:16.520 --> 01:36:23.840
no nothing. I'm living a very
good life now. Yeah, Unfortunately,

1248
01:36:24.479 --> 01:36:28.119
I don't like what's going on around
me. And we are taking a

1249
01:36:28.199 --> 01:36:33.119
road trip starting tonight to look in
other states for living out the rest of

1250
01:36:33.159 --> 01:36:36.079
our lives with you. You know
what, I gotta tell you, Kevin,

1251
01:36:36.159 --> 01:36:42.039
I've heard this from a lot of
people. They came to Colorado not

1252
01:36:42.239 --> 01:36:48.000
because it was super conservative or super
liberal, but it was more or less

1253
01:36:48.520 --> 01:36:53.439
a state that let you be what
you wanted to be. And they were

1254
01:36:53.479 --> 01:37:00.199
not hell bent or lopsided on any
issues. They were just kind of and

1255
01:37:00.319 --> 01:37:04.479
let live. It was a great
environment. Yes, we're going to start

1256
01:37:04.520 --> 01:37:09.319
with Idaho. We're heading to Idaho
tonight. We're going to go through Montana,

1257
01:37:09.800 --> 01:37:12.920
and we're going to go through Wyoming. I was born and raised in

1258
01:37:12.960 --> 01:37:15.920
North Dakota. We're not going there. Although it's a red state and all

1259
01:37:15.960 --> 01:37:19.159
that, it's just, you know, I think there's going to come a

1260
01:37:19.279 --> 01:37:23.079
time and I don't know if you, I don't know how people agree with

1261
01:37:23.119 --> 01:37:27.880
this, but Kevin, I do
believe the country is not only going to

1262
01:37:27.920 --> 01:37:33.640
be divided politically, but it's going
to be divided geographically. Absolutely, you're

1263
01:37:33.640 --> 01:37:39.399
gonna have red and you're gonna have
blue. Now, that will be.

1264
01:37:41.000 --> 01:37:45.560
That will be the way it is. It's gonna be like a you know,

1265
01:37:45.640 --> 01:37:49.960
the old Confederacy versus the uh,
the North. I mean, it's

1266
01:37:49.960 --> 01:37:55.520
going to be north versus South,
or left versus right. I don't know

1267
01:37:55.560 --> 01:38:00.319
why we can't just have some differences
and look for common ground where we can

1268
01:38:00.479 --> 01:38:05.760
without having extremes on either side,
especially all the craziness going on right now.

1269
01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:16.479
I'm Tom Martino with more coming up? Yeah, ripped up? What

1270
01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:24.039

1272
01:38:30.119 --> 01:38:38.079
is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom
Martino, Hi, Tom Martino here,

1273
01:38:38.119 --> 01:38:41.560
Welcome to the show. Three oh
three seven one three talk seven one three

1274
01:38:41.560 --> 01:38:44.520
eight two five five? Who have
an hour to go? And I want

1275
01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:46.319
to bring up Steve right now.
He's the one who wrote that song you

1276
01:38:46.479 --> 01:38:51.079
just heard. He's a man,
Steve Moss, and he brews beer as

1277
01:38:51.079 --> 01:38:54.800
well, and he wants He always
tells us when he has special events going

1278
01:38:54.840 --> 01:38:59.319
on. What's going on? Steve? Now you're doing Tom? How are

1279
01:38:59.319 --> 01:39:02.279
you doing? Mark? Everybody else? Sue's crew over there. It's always

1280
01:39:02.279 --> 01:39:05.840
fun. We need to make another
appointment. There's a lot of new beers

1281
01:39:05.880 --> 01:39:09.399
you guys could try. Yeah,
you know what, come on in.

1282
01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:14.000
Mark loves your beer and Sue's loves
your beer. Now I don't love that

1283
01:39:14.159 --> 01:39:15.600
of that. Steve I don't say
I don't love it. I just don't

1284
01:39:15.680 --> 01:39:17.920
drink a lot of beer. But
go ahead, Mary, Yeah, tell

1285
01:39:18.000 --> 01:39:26.279
us what's happening quite free beer anyway? Hey, can I comment on this

1286
01:39:26.399 --> 01:39:30.199
immigration thing? Yeah, go ahead, Sure, you guys, Mary,

1287
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:35.039
an amazing woman from out of the
country. I've been working on a K

1288
01:39:35.079 --> 01:39:40.279
one visa for a couple of years. Yeah, five thousand dollars in it.

1289
01:39:40.319 --> 01:39:45.840
And I had to sign something saying
this person isn't going to apply for

1290
01:39:45.960 --> 01:39:50.920
government since for at least two years
she won't have to. But the point

1291
01:39:51.039 --> 01:39:57.600
is, these I don't call them
immigrants, illegal aliens, illegal invaders.

1292
01:39:58.000 --> 01:40:00.039
They come in, they get a
backpack, they get money, they get

1293
01:40:00.399 --> 01:40:05.319
debit card, phone, healthcare.
I mean, it's just ridiculous, you

1294
01:40:05.319 --> 01:40:10.239
know. I've heard that from others. I've heard the point though, he

1295
01:40:10.279 --> 01:40:14.479
did it properly, and it's five
thousand bucks plus they can't get on any

1296
01:40:14.520 --> 01:40:19.800
government assistance. We'll need to.
But the point is it's a really long

1297
01:40:19.840 --> 01:40:24.880
wait, you know, and we
should be putting the front of the line

1298
01:40:24.880 --> 01:40:29.319
because we're doing it legally. Ninety
an asset of the company, not a

1299
01:40:29.600 --> 01:40:33.239
you know. Mental Now I want
to I want to you know, I

1300
01:40:33.560 --> 01:40:38.560
do want to say this though,
not all, not all of the people

1301
01:40:38.600 --> 01:40:42.680
coming into the country for asylum and
stuff from Venezuela especially, they're not all

1302
01:40:42.720 --> 01:40:46.800
looking for making demands and looking for
handouts either. But you know, you

1303
01:40:46.920 --> 01:40:53.479
have like a difference of a population. You have people who are hard working,

1304
01:40:53.560 --> 01:40:55.960
of people who are dead, beach
at people are criminals. You have

1305
01:40:56.000 --> 01:40:59.600
all kinds of people, no matter
where they come from. But in any

1306
01:40:59.640 --> 01:41:02.760
case, I really respect you for
what you're doing, Steve, on that

1307
01:41:02.880 --> 01:41:05.119
on, you know, doing it
the right way, getting it done.

1308
01:41:05.680 --> 01:41:12.279
And where's your wife from? Do
you mind saying the Philippines, okay,

1309
01:41:12.359 --> 01:41:15.840
amazing people, amazing people. And
you know, Tom, I want to

1310
01:41:15.840 --> 01:41:18.479
make a clearer I raised two Hispanic
daughters. I'm white, you know,

1311
01:41:18.640 --> 01:41:21.960
I mean, you know, I
want all people to come in, just

1312
01:41:23.039 --> 01:41:28.119
come in legally. And I don't
blame the they'll trying to get in here.

1313
01:41:28.159 --> 01:41:30.079
I blame the government, you know, the left. If the left

1314
01:41:30.239 --> 01:41:33.359
is the one who does this,
I blame the government, not the people.

1315
01:41:33.520 --> 01:41:36.760
Well, Steve, look at look, let's just take Denver. We're

1316
01:41:36.840 --> 01:41:41.720
a sanctuary city, and all these
people decided to come here. Now they're

1317
01:41:41.720 --> 01:41:44.880
overloaded and they're telling people they got
to get the hell out of here.

1318
01:41:44.920 --> 01:41:50.600
We can't handle anymore. We set
them up for failure, sir, Well,

1319
01:41:50.680 --> 01:41:57.880
let's set up something for success,
like the race this weekend at Colorado

1320
01:41:57.960 --> 01:42:04.079
National Speedway and a website out at
Coloradospeedway dot com. What do you got?

1321
01:42:04.079 --> 01:42:06.039
What do you got going on?
What do you got going on?

1322
01:42:06.079 --> 01:42:12.359
Steve's sell my beer in the stands, and they also let me take my

1323
01:42:12.439 --> 01:42:15.439
tent out there and sell retail.
Now they have a couple different brands in

1324
01:42:15.479 --> 01:42:19.720
the stands, but I bring sixteen
beers out with me. I've never seen

1325
01:42:19.760 --> 01:42:24.960
a small brewery do this, but
I I'm obsessed. So there's a lot

1326
01:42:24.960 --> 01:42:27.960
of choices. We've got new ones. We have a racetrack beer I just

1327
01:42:28.039 --> 01:42:31.600
made for them, another one Triple
I t A. It's a pit stop

1328
01:42:32.039 --> 01:42:36.800
nine point five percent. It's really
an amazing beer. We have a Mango

1329
01:42:38.199 --> 01:42:44.319
brand new super Laser Mango. So
that's a high gravity. Really hey,

1330
01:42:44.439 --> 01:42:48.960
oh it's higher alcohol. It's very
refreshing. Steve is, does this make

1331
01:42:49.000 --> 01:42:55.479
a living for you or more of
a passion? Oh? I think it's

1332
01:42:55.520 --> 01:42:59.479
it could be. It's just that
I do so many other things it's more

1333
01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:03.399
of like a side. But I
am looking for you know, I'm gonna

1334
01:43:03.399 --> 01:43:08.920
apply for a tap room license on
my property and have little special events.

1335
01:43:08.960 --> 01:43:13.119
And uh, you don't make any
money on wholesale tom and small breweries.

1336
01:43:13.199 --> 01:43:15.279
It's it's but how do you put
out? Here's what I want to know.

1337
01:43:15.600 --> 01:43:18.159
How do you put out the vault? I mean, you have so

1338
01:43:18.319 --> 01:43:23.159
much beer out? Do you constantly? Do you have a little staff?

1339
01:43:25.760 --> 01:43:29.680
Some people go to the lake I
brew beer? So really is it you

1340
01:43:30.199 --> 01:43:33.319

doing it constantly? Bottling this? No,

1341
01:43:33.520 --> 01:43:35.720
I have a I have a couple
of people that work for me.

1342
01:43:35.800 --> 01:43:41.000
There's one guy that you met,
Gordon. Yeah, he's an amazing guy.

1343
01:43:41.079 --> 01:43:44.119
He's the best worker I've ever seen, and he's willing to work.

1344
01:43:44.439 --> 01:43:47.560
It just does this business doesn't pay
a lot. I can't pay my workers

1345
01:43:47.560 --> 01:43:50.640
a lot. There's no there's not
a lot a lot of room. Who

1346
01:43:50.640 --> 01:43:58.079

use a mobile canning company and they come

1347
01:43:58.119 --> 01:44:00.800

1348
01:44:00.840 --> 01:44:04.680

1349
01:44:04.720 --> 01:44:10.880

text so he's like, well, man,

1350
01:44:10.920 --> 01:44:15.000
he does these readings and gets the
carbonation absolutely perfect. That is so

1351
01:44:15.239 --> 01:44:19.960

more coming up. I'm Tom Martinez three

1395
01:47:31.399 --> 01:47:33.840

1396
01:47:33.880 --> 01:47:47.439
You're next. Free service feed twenty
eight dollars, kdaight eight heating dot

1397
01:47:47.479 --> 01:47:53.279
com, any plumbing iting, any

1400
01:48:00.399 --> 01:48:09.199
eight eight heating dot com. Hey, so Randy has a question about a

1401
01:48:09.319 --> 01:48:12.920
used car sale and out of state. Go ahead, Randy, what's going

1402
01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:17.920
on? Man? I'm trying to
create some side the income by flipping cars.

1403
01:48:17.960 --> 01:48:23.560
And you understand, you understand about
flipping cars. If you do more

1404
01:48:23.600 --> 01:48:27.640
than a certain number I think it's
four in a year, you have to

1405
01:48:27.640 --> 01:48:36.520
get a dealer's license. Okay.
I've found was fort lower price out of

1406
01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:40.680
state than what you could buy the
same vehicle here with the same a more

1407
01:48:40.680 --> 01:48:45.159
than miles on it. What vehicle
is that? The two thousand and seventeen

1408
01:48:45.279 --> 01:48:55.600
Honda Pilot excelly or no, the
top of the line with seventy thousand miles

1409
01:48:55.640 --> 01:49:00.760
on it? And where'd you find
it? I don't want to say,

1410
01:49:00.760 --> 01:49:04.199
somebody else might jump on it.
No, give me tell me what state

1411
01:49:04.319 --> 01:49:11.920
or something it's in Texas? How
many miles on it? Seventy thousand miles?

1412
01:49:12.079 --> 01:49:18.920
And how much are we talking?
Sixteen thousand? Okay, beware because

1413
01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:24.079
that could be a scam. Oh
I know. But let's say everything's legit,

1414
01:49:26.039 --> 01:49:29.920
I'll do a carfax. I'll talk
to these people. How can I

1415
01:49:30.079 --> 01:49:36.479
minimize the risk of sending them a
deposit electronically to hold that vehicle till I

1416
01:49:36.520 --> 01:49:41.000
get down there to pick it up. You do it by credit card?

1417
01:49:41.600 --> 01:49:44.600
You do it by credit card.
You don't do it once you do a

1418
01:49:44.640 --> 01:49:48.760
transfer, it's theirs. Is it
a licensed dealer? No, it's a

1419
01:49:48.800 --> 01:49:54.840
private party. Absolutely not. There's
no way to minimize your risk. There's

1420
01:49:54.880 --> 01:49:58.199
no way to minimize your risk to
put a deposit down. Don't put a

1421
01:49:58.239 --> 01:50:01.960
deposit down, Okay, but I'm
afraid it will get sold out from under

1422
01:50:02.000 --> 01:50:06.079
me if I don't do that.
Yeah, that's why they that's why they

1423
01:50:06.079 --> 01:50:11.720
put the whole scam like that.
Listen, how much under the market is

1424
01:50:11.760 --> 01:50:14.479
that? Really? How much?
I don't know how much under the market

1425
01:50:14.560 --> 01:50:16.479
is that? By the way,
if you're talking about at a dealer,

1426
01:50:16.920 --> 01:50:20.479
it's about thirty No, No,
I'm not talking about a dealer. What

1427
01:50:20.640 --> 01:50:29.319
is normal retail on that? Just
on the have you looked about twenty two

1428
01:50:29.760 --> 01:50:38.039
with that and that twenty two thousand
and you found it for sixteen? There's

1429
01:50:38.079 --> 01:50:42.960
something going there's something wrong it just
the market doesn't work that way. The

1430
01:50:43.039 --> 01:50:47.000
fact they're asking for a deposit.
If I'm selling a car and they're not

1431
01:50:47.079 --> 01:50:53.359
asked whatever, they're not no reason. There's no reason I take a deposit.

1432
01:50:53.600 --> 01:50:56.399
What is if you give me a
five hundred dollars deposit and the guy

1433
01:50:56.479 --> 01:51:00.800
shows up with cash in ten minutes. Mark, They're not rude asking for

1434
01:51:00.840 --> 01:51:03.079
a deposit. He didn't say they
were asking for him. This is something

1435
01:51:03.119 --> 01:51:06.439
I want to offer them to the
hold it till I get there, but

1436
01:51:06.520 --> 01:51:11.399
I want to find out. I
think it's crazy. I just think it's

1437
01:51:11.439 --> 01:51:14.800
crazy. And to bottom line,
they know there is no there is no

1438
01:51:14.880 --> 01:51:17.520
way to minimize your risk. Man, I'm sorry. Have you actually talked

1439
01:51:17.560 --> 01:51:29.039
to him? Yes, Okay,
I would be very suspect on why the

1440
01:51:29.199 --> 01:51:33.520
period. I didn't hear a good
reason why it's so far under market.

1441
01:51:33.800 --> 01:51:38.119
I would ask them that first,
and if there's not a good explanation,

1442
01:51:38.199 --> 01:51:44.640
I'd forget about it. Oh,
Dles don't have a big markets because he's

1443
01:51:44.680 --> 01:51:51.920
understood a lot time here. Uh
huh, Well, I just think that.

1444
01:51:53.520 --> 01:51:58.359
Okay, I'm looking at I'm looking
at Honda pilots. Okay, with

1445
01:51:58.439 --> 01:52:04.079
the same package, same mileage all
over all over, including Texas. Okay,

1446
01:52:04.319 --> 01:52:08.880
I find cars dot Com to be
great. There's not one of them

1447
01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:15.079
under twenty grand, not one of
them. Not one. And I am

1448
01:52:15.119 --> 01:52:20.079
telling you without even looking at it, when something when it's just it's just

1449
01:52:20.199 --> 01:52:28.159
too far askew. So I wouldn't
put a deposit down and I just wouldn't.

1450
01:52:28.800 --> 01:52:31.359
Now, even with one hundred and
twenty thousand miles, these cars are

1451
01:52:31.399 --> 01:52:42.000
going for twenty thousand. I don't
think seventy thousand miles seventy thousand miles for

1452
01:52:42.119 --> 01:52:47.000
seventeen grand. Something is wrong.
I bet it was like Facebook Marketplace.

1453
01:52:47.800 --> 01:52:53.439
Where did you find it? It's
on a very reputable site. What reputable

1454
01:52:53.479 --> 01:52:56.720
site is it? Look at bro
I know you think people are going to

1455
01:52:56.800 --> 01:52:58.720
run out and buy it. They're
not going to run out and buy it.

1456
01:52:58.920 --> 01:53:00.640
All they have to do is go
glitter something. Well, just tell

1457
01:53:00.680 --> 01:53:03.760
me the what site is it?
And by the way, a reputable site

1458
01:53:03.840 --> 01:53:08.640
doesn't mean reputable sellers. Cars dot
Com is a reputable site. There's a

1459
01:53:08.640 --> 01:53:11.840
lot of scams on there. There
are a lot of this is on this

1460
01:53:11.920 --> 01:53:18.159
is on craigs List. Did he
just say it was a very credible sight

1461
01:53:18.359 --> 01:53:23.600
with a straight face. Wait,
did you, honest to God say that

1462
01:53:23.680 --> 01:53:27.479
to me, Randy, that it
was a credible sight. I was just

1463
01:53:27.520 --> 01:53:34.119
trying to introduct into this. Oh, I get it, Okay. I

1464
01:53:34.279 --> 01:53:40.920
really want to know because it's a
great deal, and I know two different

1465
01:53:41.000 --> 01:53:47.720
person and the place is vary from
the markets. Look at man, I'm

1466
01:53:47.720 --> 01:53:53.319
going to tell you something there.
You're not going to find it. You're

1467
01:53:53.399 --> 01:53:57.479
just not going to find it.
Sorry, Okay. I mean when something

1468
01:53:57.560 --> 01:54:01.399
look at I I'll tell you what
I have searched for so many cars for

1469
01:54:01.479 --> 01:54:05.760
so many years, and and things, and and whenever something is off that

1470
01:54:05.920 --> 01:54:10.399
far, there's something going on.
Now. I'm not saying you shouldn't check

1471
01:54:10.439 --> 01:54:14.560
it out, but don't pay a
dime, not one dime, not one

1472
01:54:14.720 --> 01:54:17.239
dime. If you have to pay, I would go look at it if

1473
01:54:17.239 --> 01:54:20.119
you if you think there's a chance
it could be real. The worst you're

1474
01:54:20.119 --> 01:54:25.600
going to do is take a trip
to Texas. It just it just ain't

1475
01:54:25.680 --> 01:54:29.079
right, man, Okay. I
wanted to tell you. Now say I

1476
01:54:29.079 --> 01:54:31.279
wouldn't have to tell you to reach
for that. Oh. Hey, by

1477
01:54:31.319 --> 01:54:35.479
the way, Randy, go check
did you call the guy by the way,

1478
01:54:36.680 --> 01:54:41.159
Yes, okay, And and what
did they say? I mean,

1479
01:54:41.199 --> 01:54:45.039
did tell me what they said?
Oh? They said it was an excellent

1480
01:54:45.079 --> 01:54:47.760
condition. It's all real to have, but it's been hasn't been in any

1481
01:54:47.800 --> 01:54:56.119
accidents to clean title? All right, ask him for the VEN number.

1482
01:54:57.960 --> 01:55:00.000
That's that was my next move.
Okay, they do that, call us

1483
01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:03.680
back, really, call us back
tomorrow. Car day, Please do that

1484
01:55:03.840 --> 01:55:08.720
call Ask him for the VIN number. If they give you a VIN number,

1485
01:55:09.039 --> 01:55:11.520
we can trace where that car is, where it went, and if

1486
01:55:11.520 --> 01:55:15.039
they even have it. Michael,
Welcome, what's going on, Michael?

1487
01:55:15.079 --> 01:55:20.680
What's happening? Hello? Hey,
what's going on? Michael? Oh?

1488
01:55:20.760 --> 01:55:26.079
Yeah, I wasn't even expecting to
be on the radio that quick. So

1489
01:55:26.640 --> 01:55:30.279
I was telling the ladies. Just
a second ago. A couple of weeks

1490
01:55:30.319 --> 01:55:33.960
back, I was at the David
Busters up in Westminster. I went up

1491
01:55:33.960 --> 01:55:39.800
there for the Nuggets game with my
sons, and I had just like just

1492
01:55:39.840 --> 01:55:43.760
some game cards to play the games. And then I asked the lady if

1493
01:55:43.800 --> 01:55:46.079
I could reserve a table to eat. She told me I had to see

1494
01:55:46.079 --> 01:55:50.239
the hostess, and so I went
to the hostess. Hostess told me that

1495
01:55:50.319 --> 01:55:54.720
they were full, that we couldn't
eat there. So I went and try

1496
01:55:54.760 --> 01:55:58.159
to get my money back for the
game cards. First manager I told me,

1497
01:55:58.279 --> 01:56:00.319
yeah, it was okay, but
then he had took my cards and

1498
01:56:00.439 --> 01:56:04.680
left came back with this other manager, and the other manager was like kind

1499
01:56:04.680 --> 01:56:08.359
of being a jerk, not like
looking at me in my eyes. And

1500
01:56:08.960 --> 01:56:11.520
I had questioned him like, Hey, how come ever since I got over

1501
01:56:11.560 --> 01:56:14.239
here, you're kind of like being
a jerk about this. Well, what

1502
01:56:14.239 --> 01:56:16.279
do you think is going on?
Michael? What do you think is going

1503
01:56:16.319 --> 01:56:23.319
on? He? I don't know, honestly, Like I have no idea.

1504
01:56:23.319 --> 01:56:27.760
I couldn't speak for the guy,
but but did you feel like it

1505
01:56:27.840 --> 01:56:32.119
was personal? I kind of did
felt like it was personal. And so

1506
01:56:32.239 --> 01:56:38.680
anyways, manager, we kind of
like argue. I told him, hey,

1507
01:56:38.680 --> 01:56:41.960
you should let people know before they
purchased these game cards they're not going

1508
01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:44.119
to be able to eat, so
they don't because you're not going to give

1509
01:56:44.159 --> 01:56:46.479
them their money back. He started
getting like really offended. Dude grabbed me

1510
01:56:46.520 --> 01:56:50.840
by my shirt, like what,
pulling me out. He started taking me

1511
01:56:50.880 --> 01:56:55.800
out of the Davenbusters and then punched
me in my eye and gave me like

1512
01:56:55.920 --> 01:56:59.560
what oh no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on,

1513
01:56:59.680 --> 01:57:01.039
hold on, hold on. We
got more coming up. Just hang

1514
01:57:01.079 --> 01:57:10.960
on, does the guy punched you
in the face? Hi? Tom Artino

1515
01:57:11.760 --> 01:57:15.920
back with you? Three h three
seven one three talk seven one three eight

1516
01:57:15.960 --> 01:57:21.159
two five five. Okay, So
we have Michael uh with this Dave and

1517
01:57:21.199 --> 01:57:28.359
Busters thing, and basically I find
this shocking. Michael, you were punched

1518
01:57:28.359 --> 01:57:30.199
in the face. What did you
do after that? Did you call the

1519
01:57:30.239 --> 01:57:34.720
police? So what happened after that? He was telling me, Hey,

1520
01:57:34.760 --> 01:57:38.000
you better get out of here.
I just called the cop. And then

1521
01:57:38.680 --> 01:57:43.159
my sister and my best friend was
there too, and her my sister's husband

1522
01:57:43.239 --> 01:57:45.119
was there. They're like, let's
go, Mike, and I was like,

1523
01:57:45.159 --> 01:57:46.159
hey, dude, I was like, I swear I didn't do anything

1524
01:57:46.199 --> 01:57:48.439
wrong. I was like, I'm
just gonna hang out, and they're like,

1525
01:57:48.479 --> 01:57:51.920
no, let's just go. Oh
well. I hung around for about

1526
01:57:51.920 --> 01:57:55.560
a half hour waiting for the police
to come. They never came. My

1527
01:57:55.640 --> 01:57:58.640
boys were complaining that they were hungry
and yeah, by the way, this

1528
01:57:58.760 --> 01:58:02.079
happened in front of my two How
long ago did this happen, Michael?

1529
01:58:02.640 --> 01:58:06.039
This happened during one of the Nuggets
and Lakers games. Like, now,

1530
01:58:06.079 --> 01:58:11.319
do you have Michael, do you
have witnesses that saw him hit you.

1531
01:58:12.520 --> 01:58:14.800
Yeah, my son thought, well, it was all on camera, but

1532
01:58:14.840 --> 01:58:17.600
the police officer said that it was
too blurry that he couldn't see the actual

1533
01:58:17.680 --> 01:58:23.439
punch. And then also the employee
was claiming that he could smell alcohol,

1534
01:58:23.760 --> 01:58:26.840
which I just got there and I
don't. I'm not really a drinker.

1535
01:58:27.119 --> 01:58:29.199
I didn't. Well, Michael,
even if you had a drink, it

1536
01:58:29.239 --> 01:58:31.960
doesn't mean you were drunk. But
I want to know this though. Did

1537
01:58:31.960 --> 01:58:35.199
the manager say you're the one that
started it and you started getting rough?

1538
01:58:36.680 --> 01:58:40.359
Yeah, you can see on the
well, even the police officers stayed on

1539
01:58:40.399 --> 01:58:43.520
the police support that you don't see
me touch him at all. He comes

1540
01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:45.920
out and grabs me, he starts
in it, and he was around other

1541
01:58:46.039 --> 01:58:50.279
managers. The other managers didn't do
anything because they kind of knew too.

1542
01:58:50.319 --> 01:58:54.479
Like he was. He was being
like, he was saying, why did

1543
01:58:54.520 --> 01:58:58.479
he Why did he overreact like that? Do you think? Well? I

1544
01:58:58.600 --> 01:59:00.880
was trying to like tell him.
I was like, well, what you

1545
01:59:00.880 --> 01:59:03.680
should do is let people know,
like before you purchase a game card,

1546
01:59:03.720 --> 01:59:06.159
you're not going to get your money
back because it doesn't say it on the

1547
01:59:06.199 --> 01:59:11.159
receipt or anything. Like I said. The first manager seemed like he was

1548
01:59:11.199 --> 01:59:14.920
gonna give me a refund. He
left my receipt and my cards. I

1549
01:59:14.960 --> 01:59:17.039
didn't spend no money on those cards, and we kind of got into an

1550
01:59:17.079 --> 01:59:20.279
argument. He's like, oh,
if you go to Blackhawk and you lose,

1551
01:59:20.319 --> 01:59:23.039
you can't get your money back.
And I'm like, yeah, but

1552
01:59:23.079 --> 01:59:25.479
I didn't play the cards. I
didn't even touch him, right, right,

1553
01:59:25.560 --> 01:59:29.279
you're not asking So anyway, by
the way you can get you can

1554
01:59:29.359 --> 01:59:33.159
get your money back on most Dave
and Buster cards all day long, as

1555
01:59:33.199 --> 01:59:36.600
long as you didn't use them.
Yeah, I didn't. I still have

1556
01:59:36.720 --> 01:59:41.199
the cards and there you can probably
take it. You can probably go to

1557
01:59:41.239 --> 01:59:45.439
another Dave and Busters. Did you
complain to anyone like a district manager or

1558
01:59:45.520 --> 01:59:49.560
general manager or anyone. My my
wife had called him and she made a

1559
01:59:49.600 --> 01:59:53.960
complain for my boys. But I
didn't actually call for what happened to me,

1560
01:59:54.119 --> 01:59:56.520
but she let him know. There
was a police report and everything.

1561
01:59:56.600 --> 02:00:00.239
So I don't know what they're doing. So you weren't charged with any thing,

1562
02:00:00.319 --> 02:00:05.119
right, No, I was in
charge of anything. That is ridiculous,

1563
02:00:05.520 --> 02:00:16.560
and it's the one in Westminster,
right, yeah, So what what

1564
02:00:16.760 --> 02:00:18.800
are you doing right now? So? What what do you need do you

1565
02:00:18.880 --> 02:00:24.119
want us to do anything, Well, I wasn't sure what I can do.

1566
02:00:24.800 --> 02:00:27.640
Honestly, I was reaching out,
Well, you could sue that guy.

1567
02:00:27.880 --> 02:00:30.239
You could sue that guy and Dave
and Busters for any injuries you have.

1568
02:00:30.439 --> 02:00:34.159
I'm serious, Yeah, I had. I even went to the hospital

1569
02:00:34.199 --> 02:00:36.880
because they said that I had a
small concussion. When I went and see

1570
02:00:36.920 --> 02:00:41.439
my primary, you know what I
would. You can take him the small

1571
02:00:41.439 --> 02:00:45.720
claims court and sue, or you
can just go see a personal in your

1572
02:00:45.720 --> 02:00:48.479
re attorney. I wouldn't mess around
with that kind of crap. But you

1573
02:00:48.600 --> 02:00:53.119
have to have witnesses more than just
your young son who saw this happen.

1574
02:00:53.359 --> 02:00:57.399
There's got to be other people who
saw it. Yeah, there was a

1575
02:00:57.439 --> 02:01:00.079
lot of people that were standing around. But if you don't have any witnesses,

1576
02:01:00.079 --> 02:01:02.600
you can't it's going to be useless. In my opinion, it's going

1577
02:01:02.680 --> 02:01:08.239
to be his word against yours.
So the only thing I'd be thinking is

1578
02:01:08.279 --> 02:01:12.199
like Stavenbusters was to cooperate and like, let me know who, because there

1579
02:01:12.279 --> 02:01:15.159
was some nice people that were standing
next to me when all this had happened.

1580
02:01:15.840 --> 02:01:18.119
I don't know how I'm pretty did
you see the video? Did you

1581
02:01:18.159 --> 02:01:23.279
see the video? I was there's
a big TV as soon as you walk

1582
02:01:23.279 --> 02:01:26.159
away. Yeah, but let me
ask you, can you see in the

1583
02:01:26.279 --> 02:01:29.840
video? Can you see him hit
you? Sir? I tried to request

1584
02:01:29.840 --> 02:01:32.079
a video from the police officer,
but for some reason, the officer didn't

1585
02:01:32.159 --> 02:01:35.880
need He doesn't have the video.
He says he saw the video, but

1586
02:01:35.920 --> 02:01:40.159
he didn't book it in for like
evidence or anything. So I don't know,

1587
02:01:40.239 --> 02:01:43.239
Like, well, he said it
was blurry, right, didn't he

1588
02:01:43.279 --> 02:01:46.720
say it was blurry? Blurry?
But my thing is like, it's probably

1589
02:01:46.720 --> 02:01:50.720
blurry because they're recording so much and
they're trying not to store such so much,

1590
02:01:50.760 --> 02:01:56.520
like gigabytes or whatever. Maybe they
can get the quality better, like

1591
02:01:56.640 --> 02:02:00.439
downloaded in a better quality. I'm
not sure of that. They might just

1592
02:02:00.560 --> 02:02:03.279
have it. I don't know.
Actually, I just if you hire an

1593
02:02:03.319 --> 02:02:06.720
attorney, they can file a lawsuit
and ask for it to be preserved.

1594
02:02:08.800 --> 02:02:13.840
Yeah, that's that's the best.
The cops showed up after the punch,

1595
02:02:14.279 --> 02:02:17.079
so we're talking to civil lawsuit doc. And then, by the way,

1596
02:02:17.479 --> 02:02:20.640
it wasn't he didn't actually call the
cops. But what happened was when I

1597
02:02:20.760 --> 02:02:24.880
left, I had called my mom. She was like, I don't think

1598
02:02:24.880 --> 02:02:27.479
he called the cops. I think
he was lying, so I had called

1599
02:02:27.520 --> 02:02:30.680
the cops, So the cops ended
up going for my call, not his.

1600
02:02:31.000 --> 02:02:35.760
Okay, listen, and then again, he might want to see us.

1601
02:02:35.920 --> 02:02:41.000
You might want to see us.
I might want to see a civil

1602
02:02:41.039 --> 02:02:43.359
attorney. Bro. That's all I
can tell you. You might want to

1603
02:02:43.359 --> 02:02:46.880
see a civil attorney. By the
way, Frank Ran the real estate man,

1604

did one for a friend who was looking

1606
02:02:57.039 --> 02:03:00.560
to buy a house, and he
went through the entire thing and he showed

1607
02:03:00.920 --> 02:03:04.239
the positives and negatives of that home. So this guy's renting the house and

landlord's willing to hear evaluation. And Frank

1611
02:03:16.359 --> 02:03:20.840
dot com. All right, hold
on a second, Michael. All we

1612
02:03:20.880 --> 02:03:24.880
can say is you got to get
a personal injury attorney. I'm serious about

1613
02:03:24.880 --> 02:03:29.880
that. Okay. Now, Jeff, you have a problem with solar or

1614
02:03:29.920 --> 02:03:32.960
an issue? What is it?
Jeff? Hi, Well, Okay,

1615
02:03:33.039 --> 02:03:38.119
So this happens. We had a
sol We had an ion solar installed on

1616
02:03:38.119 --> 02:03:41.359
our garage, and another company came
by and said, hey, we could

1617
02:03:41.399 --> 02:03:44.960
tie into that and get you,
you know, your whole house solar,

1618
02:03:45.039 --> 02:03:47.319
like the whole roof and everything.
Now, okay, what was the solar

1619
02:03:47.479 --> 02:03:54.279
that was already there? Ion Solar? What is that? It's just a

1620
02:03:55.159 --> 02:03:59.159
just a company okay. And was
it there when you bought the house or

1621
02:03:59.199 --> 02:04:01.840
you had it done all? We
had it done? Okay, got it.

1622
02:04:03.039 --> 02:04:05.920
And then this other company came around, you know, the door to

1623
02:04:05.960 --> 02:04:10.000
door walking and they said, hey, why didn't they do your whole roof

1624
02:04:10.000 --> 02:04:12.760
and they and they said, well, we said well, they said they

1625
02:04:12.800 --> 02:04:15.359
can't do the fire code, like, well we have smaller panels, we

1626
02:04:15.359 --> 02:04:17.279
could do the rest of your roof
like okay, great, that would be

1627
02:04:17.319 --> 02:04:23.640
awesome. So we signed up.
That was through Shield Energy. So they

1628
02:04:23.680 --> 02:04:27.479
came out and so they had to
turn off. But why, okay,

1629
02:04:27.479 --> 02:04:31.239
did you like your solar system that
much that you thought having extra panels would

1630
02:04:31.239 --> 02:04:36.560
be better? We thought, well, the guy I think sold us on

1631
02:04:36.600 --> 02:04:40.960
it, like because it wasn't like
a complete wash. We were only making

1632
02:04:41.159 --> 02:04:45.840
you know, like the panels.
We had only did half y on the

1633
02:04:45.880 --> 02:04:51.239
ion system. Why did they not
do more because they said due to fire

1634
02:04:51.319 --> 02:04:57.319
code the size of their panels they
couldn't fit them on the roof the way

1635
02:04:57.319 --> 02:05:01.319
our roof is because they need like
three feet from two edges of the room.

1636
02:05:01.479 --> 02:05:08.119
And so why and so did the
other company install more panels? Yes?

1637
02:05:08.239 --> 02:05:15.159
They did? Okay, did they
double it? We had I think

1638
02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:21.079
six panels and now we have twenty
one panels total. Okay, they tripled

1639
02:05:21.079 --> 02:05:27.319
it. Yes, And so this
all started in November twenty twenty two.

1640
02:05:27.560 --> 02:05:30.720
And then Shield Energy, who was
a new contractor to install, got everything

1641
02:05:30.720 --> 02:05:38.359
installed on the roof and then apparently
that company went bankrupt or closed. So

1642
02:05:38.439 --> 02:05:42.159
our finance company, who is ever
bright for these panels? Yep, they're

1643
02:05:42.199 --> 02:05:45.159
the ones that do them all?
Yep? What about ever? So where

1644
02:05:45.159 --> 02:05:47.840
does this stand right now? The
company that tripled it, they went out

1645
02:05:47.880 --> 02:05:54.399
of business. Yes, so then
they had another company called Aptive Solar come

1646
02:05:54.439 --> 02:06:00.760
in to finish it, and then
it moved to Ambia Solar contract to finish

1647
02:06:00.800 --> 02:06:04.600
it. Oh my god, did
it ever get finished? No, it's

1648
02:06:04.640 --> 02:06:10.039
not finished. And then they said
we needed to turn on the panels.

1649
02:06:10.560 --> 02:06:16.079
We needed a fifteen thousand dollars major
panel upgrade on the main breaker panel.

1650
02:06:16.159 --> 02:06:21.079
Did you pay anything yet? Have
you paid anything so far? We've paid

1651
02:06:21.159 --> 02:06:26.560
a couple payments, but everybody has
frozen our payments, so we're not paying

1652
02:06:26.600 --> 02:06:30.319
anything. How much have you paid
so far? I think it was like

1653
02:06:30.319 --> 02:06:34.600
maybe five hundred bucks. Listen,

Okay, Ivan, what's going on
man? What's happening? All right?

1667
02:07:43.880 --> 02:07:48.439
So the deal is me and my
wife at a health share, Like

1668
02:07:48.560 --> 02:07:51.880
it's like healthcare insurance, but it's
a health share, right. Was it

1669
02:07:51.960 --> 02:07:57.720
like was it like one of the
like one of the Christian share programs?

1670
02:07:58.319 --> 02:08:00.720
Kind of yeah? I think I
believe it was was like you know,

1671
02:08:00.840 --> 02:08:05.600
I remember, listen, I tried
that one time, and let me tell

1672
02:08:05.640 --> 02:08:13.119
you something, not one thing,
not one thing ever was paid. Ever.

1673
02:08:13.479 --> 02:08:16.079
It was the worst thing I ever
had. Okay, so that's kind

1674
02:08:16.119 --> 02:08:20.439
of what's going on here. You
know, a physical was supposed to be

1675
02:08:20.439 --> 02:08:22.039
included. Now, we had this
stuff for about a year and a half

1676
02:08:22.439 --> 02:08:28.199
and we since I'm sorry January first, we've got new insurance, but a

1677
02:08:28.239 --> 02:08:31.000
year and a half prior to that
we had it. We got physicals.

1678
02:08:31.159 --> 02:08:33.199
Everything was fine. They did pay
for a couple of things that my mom

1679
02:08:33.359 --> 02:08:37.800
or my mom my wife had for
her foot or whatever. They did pay

1680
02:08:37.000 --> 02:08:39.560
their share. Well, we got
these physicals and then there was lab work

1681
02:08:39.600 --> 02:08:43.720
done well they're not paying the bill
now. And we dropped them in at

1682
02:08:43.720 --> 02:08:48.239
the end of last year. And
we dropped them but the physicals were already

1683
02:08:48.239 --> 02:08:52.359
approved and everything was approved, and
they're but they're not paying the bills or

1684
02:08:52.399 --> 02:08:56.199
the lab We see, here's the
problem. Okay, which one is it?

1685
02:08:56.239 --> 02:09:01.199
By the way, which program It's
called Joppa Stoppa Joppa Dapa Healthcare.

1686
02:09:01.239 --> 02:09:05.720
Here's what I want to do.
Here's what I want to do. I

1687
02:09:05.960 --> 02:09:11.760
want to bring you back tomorrow with
one of our experts on health insurance China.

1688
02:09:11.920 --> 02:09:15.560
Well, actually, yeah, go
ahead. You know what, Well,

1689
02:09:15.720 --> 02:09:18.199
my my problem's not with them anymorecause
I don't have they're just not paying

1690
02:09:18.239 --> 02:09:20.199
their bills. So my question was
this, I was it was I was

1691
02:09:20.279 --> 02:09:24.039
paying them monthly on a credit cards. Yes, And so I went and

1692
02:09:24.119 --> 02:09:26.079
called my credit card yesterday. I
said, you know what, I want

1693
02:09:26.119 --> 02:09:30.399
you to stop payment on those last
two payments in October or November and just

1694
02:09:30.680 --> 02:09:35.079
okay, okay, that's fair.
I would that's a good point. Well,

1695
02:09:35.119 --> 02:09:35.960
I just want to make sure that's
fair, like I'm not going to

1696
02:09:37.000 --> 02:09:39.039
get in trouble for something. Well, let's put it this way. We're

1697
02:09:39.039 --> 02:09:43.800
about they didn't pay anything I would
argue, if I were you, that's

1698
02:09:43.880 --> 02:09:48.159
exact. I'm glad you told me
that it was done on a card.

1699
02:09:48.520 --> 02:09:52.960
Usually they ach a bank account.
You're fortunate you put it on a credit

1700
02:09:52.039 --> 02:09:56.760
card. I would definitely do that. Well, I already did it.

1701
02:09:56.800 --> 02:09:58.920
I just want to make sure that
I'm not going well, I'm not gonna

1702
02:09:58.039 --> 02:10:01.520
I can't say for they're not gonna
do anything, but you have proof they

1703
02:10:01.600 --> 02:10:07.439
never paid anything at all. They
have nothing they didn't pay. I would

1704
02:10:07.520 --> 02:10:11.479
feel no qualms about doing it.
Let us know if it ever comes back

1705
02:10:11.560 --> 02:10:13.960
and they try to do something,
I'm Tom Martino. Hey, we're out
