purpose, I call it, it's

cash, merchandise, exchanges, refunds, and services. Now, sometimes we're

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.920
popular, sometimes we're not. It
really depends on what side of the fence

you're on. If you want to
know about the good people, it's referral

12
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.200
list dot Com that's in ant show, and the commercials here on the show,

13
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.239
most of them are members of the
referral List. Of course all of

14
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:11.000
our endorsements. And then Sleeze Brigade
is about just the opposite of Referral List.

15
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.519
Slee's Brigade is the worst of the
worst of the worst. And then,

16
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.959
of course, on different forms of
social media. I try to publish

you want to get help, It's
three oh three Martino, twenty four to

20
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.480
seven. Let's go to the phones. What do you say? Catherine's got

21
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:45.000
an apartment issue. So Catherine,
what's happening? You start things off today?

22
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:51.200
What's going on? Catherine? By
Tom Bye. Yeah, it's a

23
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.640
lot to unpack, but basically,
we discovered old behind our couch and our

24
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:01.200
apartment. Our water heater was leaking
for who knows how, and we were

25
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.879
forced to live in a hotel with
me, my husband, our dog,

26
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:12.039
and my six month old baby.
And we were also then forced to leave

27
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.080
our lease and spend ten fifteen thousand
dollars to move into a new home and

28
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.199
pay for the hotel out of pocket, pay for food out of pocket,

29
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:27.439
moving costs out of pocket. And
we've had absolutely no answers from the apartment

30
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.240
complex, from their corporate office or
their insurance. That was a good summary

31
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:37.319
there, Catherine. So let me
ask you a few questions. Okay,

32
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:43.120
these are important questions. True,
were you in the middle of a lease,

33
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:51.560
yes, and what kind of lease? Like a year long lease?

34
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.439
We had just finned out. How
much time did you have left on your

35
00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:00.400
lease? Like six months? Still? Six seven months? Okay? Now,

36
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.759
okay, you were in a one
year lease with about eight months left

37
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:12.120
and when you left? What how
did you do it? Exactly? How

38
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.360
did you do it? And I
want people listening, people listening to know

39
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.000
there's a proper way to do this. I want to know. Let's go

40
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.879
back. Even, how do you
know the mold was the dangerous toxic mold?

41
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.479
Yeah, that's a great question.
Actually, so we just happened to

42
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.759
move the couch off the wall and
see that there was just this right black

43
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.639
mold growing right. And to me, this has happened before when I was

44
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.479
younger and in our apartment, so
I know what mold looks like. Yeah,

45
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.919
but not all mold. Not mold
is not great, But not all

46
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.319
mold is that toxic or dangerous,
and sometimes it can be easily mitigated.

47
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:02.159
So this is important. Yeah,
so how did you know it was dangerous?

48
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:09.599
We don't know. Actually, there
was no environmental testing done. They

49
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.400
told us that legally they were not
required to do any kind of testing.

50
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:19.680
That's right, Catherine, that's kind
of true. Here's the situation. If

51
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:26.759
you discover and anyone listening, if
you discover in a rental mold, you

52
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:33.959
can't assume it's deadly and break a
lease without consequences. Now, I will

53
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.000
tell you the laws are a lot
different now, and they favor tenants in

54
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:46.920
Colorado with our more progressive and liberal
government. And I'm not saying this as

55
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.839
a political statement. It's a fact. We have laws now that cater to

56
00:04:53.040 --> 00:05:00.519
tenants. So there are a lot
of the courts are pretty lenient on tenants.

57
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.360
You still have to have some kind
of reason for breaking a contract.

58
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.720
But I need to know first,
how long ago did you leave the apartment?

59
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:19.720
We left Friday June July nineteenth,
okay, July nineteenth. Now when

60
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.920
you left, did you first say
and do it through what's called a constructive

61
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:28.759
eviction? In short, here's what
you have to do. You have to

62
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.160
write to the landlord saying we have
a situation. It's dangerous, here's why

63
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.600
it needs to be fixed with a
reasonable amount of time. And then if

64
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.319
it's not fixed, you're supposed to
withhold rent and use that money to fix

65
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.600
it. And if you don't do
that, then you leave, and if

66
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.480
you leave, it's a constructive eviction. However, if any of those assertations

67
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.240
you made are incorrect, if the
mold is not dangerous, if it's not

68
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.120
in the air, because you don't
know any of this, you didn't have

69
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:59.360
any testing done. It was actually
your burden to prove that the landlord was

70
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:04.879
violating your lease by by a dangerous
condition. So I think, I fear.

71
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.800
I fear you did. You did
it the wrong way, but that

72
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:13.639
may not have consequences. As I
said, in today's climate, a lot

73
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:16.759
of landlords are not going after people
and letting them go. So are you

74
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:28.360
in trouble right now? Yeah?
What's happening? We well, in other

75
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:33.399
words, is the landlord coming after
you? H No, they're not coming

76
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:39.160
after us. But we okay,
you know, been forced to. Now,

77
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:44.800
if you're thinking you're going to collect
expenses, it's gonna be really,

78
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.680
really difficult because you have zero evidence
that. Now, now you understand,

79
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.480
Catherine, I am not saying you
did the wrong thing. I am telling

80
00:06:54.519 --> 00:07:00.000
you the facts of life. You
have zero evidence that the mold was dangerous.

81
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.519
You have zero evidence mold spores were
in the air. You have zero

82
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:09.959
evidence you had to move and that
you couldn't have just had someone come in

83
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:15.639
and clean it. I mean all
of this now, was the water heater

84
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.639
continuing to leak after you discovered the
mold or was it a condition that happened

85
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:27.680
previously? So I had discovered that
it was leaking and then did the leak

86
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.759
get fixed? Did the leak get
fixed? Yes? But the mold was

87
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:39.439
still there? Yes? Did you
know that if a water leak is stopped

88
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:44.519
and there is mold, it can
be treated one or two times and be

89
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:50.839
eradicated as long as the food source
water is stopped. Did you know that

90
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:57.639
could happen that that? That's how
simple it was. No. I mean,

91
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.399
I guess they just plain that to
us they before. Who's who's they?

92
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.079
Who's they Catherine? Who didn't explain
it to you? I guess it's

93
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.800
a manager of the leasing office.
She just you are. But you assumed,

94
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.639
you assumed it was dangerous for you
and your husband and your six month

95
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.439
old baby and your dog, right, I mean yeah, when you're having

96
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.680
health issues that are not explained,
what kind of health issues? What kind

97
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:31.159
of health My husband's been suffering from
respiratory issues, especially like upper respiratory issues.

98
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.080
But online, lots of antibiotics,
and did a doctor tell him it

99
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.480
was mold related. No, But
once we did tell them that we found

100
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:43.559
mold in our apartment, she said
that that could be the cause because it

101
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.639
well, of course it could be, and so could any number of things.

102
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.879
Again, I'm not trying to belittle
you. I'm saying it sounds Catherine

103
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.879
like, Okay, if I were
how much did you incurrent expenses total adam

104
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.559
up? How much rough to move
and all of that? Yeah? Well

105
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.960
yeah, Now that's funny because you
really don't get to just do everything,

106
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.559
but extra expenses as a result of
the mold. Normal moving expenses are not

107
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.559
extra, but like hotels, extra
things like that. If you had to

108
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.759
just put a price on your expenses
or what you will call your calling your

109
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:33.639
damages, how much is it?
It was like thirteen fifteen dollars. That's

110
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.679
really really low. That's really low. Here have you asked them for it?

111
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.600
Yeah? Then we told them,
you know, we need to the

112
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.440
hotel, the food and all that, and they're like, yeah, our

113
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.919
insurance will reach out to you,
and we just haven't heard anything. Here's

114
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:54.039
the thing again, I don't think
you have a strong case, but but

115
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.080
I don't know if the landlord knows
you have a strong case. I mean,

116
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:01.120
the landlord was supposed to be given
an opportunity to fix it, or

117
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.720
you could have fixed it. It's
called mitigating your loss and then taking it

118
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.799
off the rent. I wish you
would have called us when this was happening,

119
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.840
but right now it's too late.
You're out. Are you in a

120
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:16.279
new place right now? Yeah?
Excellent? Excellent? So they can't hurt

121
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.399
your credit or hurt your chances of
getting another place. You're already in another

122
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:26.159
place, right, Okay, So
that's good. Now what you do,

123
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:33.000
there's two things. We will have
someone contact the landlord to see if they

124
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.759
take responsibility for this. If they
ask for evidence, we're going to have

125
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.919
a problem. Right. You have
no evidence it was dangerous, You have

126
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.080
no evidence your health was involved because
of it. You have no direct evidence

127
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.879
of anything. You don't even know
if the mold spores were in the air.

128
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.120
So we can just hope that if
we call, they might settle and

129
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.039
pay you something. You're lucky they're
not coming after you for the balance of

130
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.080
the lease. So another thing you
can do, though, if you feel

131
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.279
strongly about your case, even though
you have no evidence, And I don't

132
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:11.360
know how far you can bs them
without them calling your card and saying show

133
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.360
your cards. But you could go
to small claims court. I wouldn't go

134
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.080
for fifteen hundred. I would add
up more. I would try to make

135
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.840
it at least two grand or more. Go to small claims court and sue

136
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.799
them for damages and tell them it
was the result of black mold that they

137
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.519
did not attend to. Do you
have pictures of this mold? Yes?

138
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:39.200
Okay, why don't you do a
small claims court? Yeah? And I

139
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:46.720
have one question though, go ahead. This happened on a Saturday, right,

140
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.320
so you know not the manager doesn't
work on the weekend. She wasn't

141
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.720
there. She called the maintenance manager. Which you didn't move out immediately?

142
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.120
Did you the next day? Did
you know? We had to just go

143
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.200
to a hotel. So, but
what made you think you had to go

144
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.159
to a hotel that day? It
just scared my husband and he just thought

145
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.200
we needed to leave and go and
so that they can come in and figure

146
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.519
it right, and people get really
people get really bent out of shape over

147
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.080
molds. Yeah, yeah, okay, so that's why. So anyway,

148
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.440
it happened on a Saturday. Continue
with your question. So it happened on

149
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.600
a Saturday. Then the manager doesn't
work. The remediation companies don't work on

150
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.600
the weekends. We had no answers
over the weekend, and so the maintenance

151
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.759
man came in and wiped He said
that he wiped it off the wall and

152
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:39.519
then sprayed it with the bleach spray
or something without us knowing. So we

153
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.000
couldn't really even get testing done if
we wanted to, because they already kind

154
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.799
of came in. Well, no, it would have been good to get

155
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.080
testing done. You could have seen
if they killed it. You could have

156
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:54.399
seen that they killed it or not. It could. What I'm saying is

157
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.679
I think you jumped the gun,
But I want you to hold on because

158
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.080
I'm going to have one of our
deputies call the landlord to see if they

159
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.600
will do something for you. Let's
just see if they'll do something for you.

160
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.799
I mean, and then you might
want to consider small claims court.

161
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.919
But I'm telling you personally, I
think you're going to lose. I'd not

162
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.720
lose, like I don't think they're
going to pay you. What I mean,

163
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.919
I just don't think you're going to
get the money. I think the

164
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:26.000
whole thing was done in haste and
I have to take a break, but

165
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.799
it's it's coincidental. On our break, I have someone, Mark Shamansky,

166
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:37.759
who actually is in the mold detection
and remediation business, and when we come

167
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.600
back after the break, what I'd
like to do is ask Mark his opinion

168
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.799
on this. Because it was a
one time thing, a water heater leak.

169
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.399
They killed it, they treated it. What could have been done to

170
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.320
at least see if it was if
it was effective. And I think he's

171
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.720
going to tell you it was a
way over reaction, but we'll see.

172
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.600
We got more coming up on the

175
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.360
five five four. You know,
in Colorado, we have a constant struggle

176
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.919
with the exterior of our homes,
whether it be wood siding, any kind

177
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.879
of siding, anything on the outside
of our home because the sun is so

178
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:30.720
intense and we're at a high altitude
and we have severe weather, so it's

179
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:35.320
we're on a search all the time
for low maintenance and good stuff. So

180
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.440
I want to bring up Genesis Total
Exteriors. Mark Schamansky's the owner, and

181
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.679
I've known Genesis for years. They
do everything on the outside of your house

182
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.399
from roofing, gutters, siding,
stucco, windows, doors, decks.

183
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.720
You'd like to say to that one
blue house without problem with Hey, Mark,

184
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.600
I want to talk to you.
I want to talk to you about

185
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.799
this new siding. What I was
saying is we're always on a search for

186
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.159
siding that that'll hold up in our
weather, in our climate and not need

187
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:11.080
constant maintenance. And I understand that
you have some new siding. Tell us

188
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.679
about this new sighting. Yeah,
Tom, this new signing just hit the

189
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:20.440
market. It is called a line. It's a glass reinforced palmer graphite infuse

190
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:28.519
polystyrene technology. Wow. That's a
mouthful basically, isn't it. Though?

191
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.399
Usually when you do vinyl sighting,
especially in Colorado, you can only do

192
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.240
colors a white, a light yellow, a light tan. That's you're limited.

193
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.120
That's all you have for colors A
light gray. Also, this product

194
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:45.399
comes in all new new colors,
dark, deep grays, blues, reds,

195
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.159
rust colors, it's an amazing product
and it comes into the same costs

196
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.840
as a vinyl sighting. Now they
say it never ever ever needs any maintenance

197
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:00.600
of painting. Nothing is that true. And it's more it's moisture resistant and

198
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:07.720
has a lifetime warranty, lifetime warranty. It also is a Class A fire

199
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.120
rating, which is amazing. I
mean, vinyl doesn't have that. Vinyl

200
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:17.480
just melts off your house if you
have a fire. This product is brand

201
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.480
new. It becomes insulated, so
it has the insulating board behind it.

202
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.639
It is truly amazing, and it's
beautiful, absolutely beautiful. And again,

203
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.399
typically you put vinyl on a house
that's you know, a lower end market

204
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.960
house. This product you could put
on any house because it's so beautiful and

205
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:41.399
it's they call it a composite siding. So what actually it Is it like

206
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.600
a vinyl or is it like a
plastic or is it a metal? What

207
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.440
is it? Oh, you touch
it and it feels it feels like vinyl.

208
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.039
I mean if you touch it.
Fiberglass, you know, they call

209
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.519
it fiberglass. They call it a
glass reinforced. Is it is it more

210
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.960
rigid? It's yeah, because it
has that insulation behind it. Too,

211
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.599
so it's a little bit more rigid. The expansion contraction is minimal, which

212
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:06.960
is a big deal with vinyl siding. That's why you have the problems with

213
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.480
the heat is expansion contraction. That's
where you get bubbling and such. All

214
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.599
right, Hey, Mark, I
want to give out your number A line

215

Martine, your troubleshooter. Three oh
three seven one three talks seven one three

245
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:18.160
eight two five five. So anyway, let's go to So Catherine said that

246
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.119
there was mold in her apartment.
Mark Schumansky, I want to ask real

247
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:27.359
quick from Genesis, he does mold
detection and mitigation. If she had a

248
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:33.319
leaky water heater and then discovered it
and they stopped the leak, and then

249
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:41.240
she noticed behind the couch there was
black mold. And the apartment house said

250
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.440
they cleaned it and sprayed it with
some clarox or whatever they said they cleaned

251
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:51.279
it with, Mark, am I
to believe that no matter what kind of

252
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:56.000
mold it is, if you stop
the source, and if it's not you

253
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.640
know, all over the apartment or
inside the walls, you can just treat

254
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:02.640
it and get rid of it,
right. I mean, it's not like

255
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:07.440
impossible to get rid of That's correct, Tom, I mean you can.

256
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.119
You got You should clean it up
properly. You shouldn't be spraying it with

257
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.599
a chlorox or light solt. Yeah, you know, I think I heard

258
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.440
earlier in some kind of bleach.
You know, basically you should, you

259
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.440
know, use bleach water at least
wipe it down. Never use a spray

260
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:25.640
because then you're spreading the spores when
you do that. But yes, it

261
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:30.839
can be cleaned and and treat it, yes, I mean the best way

262
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:36.240
is to kill it and then next
encapsulate it and you know, just so

263
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.680
it doesn't come back or that stops
that food source from there. But yeah,

264
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.799
you stop the water and that stops
the mold from growing for sure.

265
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:52.920
Now, and if you see black
mold, it doesn't automatically mean that it's

266
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:59.359
in your uh, in your air
either does it the spores well, I

267
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.200
mean if yeah, when once it
turns fuzzy is when it starts to spread.

268
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.279
And of course you don't want to
get that close to cel it's this

269
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.599
fuzzy, fuzzy mold. But that's
when the scores start to populate and go

270
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.240
into the air. And the best
thing to do is to do an air

271
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.839
test is where you there's a control
sample outside the building and you do a

272
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:23.319
sample inside the building. And you
know, that's a relatively and expensive test

273
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.559
to do to see if it is
dangerous, because there's eight hundred different types

274
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:33.319
of black mold, and they're not
all toxic or dangerous. I mean,

275
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.119
although some correct can have sensitivities to
them. They may not kill them,

276
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.839
but they could. Even if it's
not toxic, you could still have a

277
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.640
sensitivity to it. Correct. Yeah, some people do, like it's never

278
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.599
bothered me, but some people,
yes, right there. You know,

279
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:53.000
some guy claims that he walks into
a house, he knows there's mold in

280
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.440
the house, even before he's even
seen it. I know, I know.

281
00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.799
I mean that's a sensitivity. Now, here's the deal again. You

282
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:07.000
know, it's it's a matter of
what can be done in other words,

283
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.279
and it's not. Here's here's what
I'm getting at Mark. In the past.

284
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.640
It's almost as if, for God's
sakes, people want the house torn

285
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:22.440
down. I mean, I think
they over exaggerate the extent at which people

286
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.759
have to go through to clean it. I do believe it's a little exaggerated.

287
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.279
I'm not saying it shouldn't be done
properly, but I think it's a

288
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.279
little exaggerated. I mean, these
people saw it and left that night,

289
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.359
left that day. I mean they
didn't stay in another day, they went

290
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.599
to a hotel and moved out.
Right, Yeah, I mean I agree

291
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:47.599
with you. It is overblown.
Along with asbestos and lead paint. I

292
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:49.359
mean all these things. Are they
dangerous? Yes. Do you need to

293
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.440
take care of it properly, yes, But you're not gonna just typically.

294
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.920
You're not gonna just die because you
saw it right right right, I get

295
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.319
it. I get it. It
would have been even if even if you're

296
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.480
renting to play, to spend less
than five hundred bucks to have a couple

297
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:07.279
of air samples test done, then
you have the documentation behind you to say,

298
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.880
oh, this is the reason I'm

her? Okay? So she has
sound a leaf for Uh. It's an

309
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:06.160
actually a house in Colorado Springs.
She moved from Pueblo to get a job

310
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:14.640
up there. Yeah, and after
the second week they started to well,

311
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:19.079
her landlord lives in Texas, but
her landlord's fiance lives there as well.

312
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:26.799
There's three When did she sign the
lease on June the fourth? Okay,

313
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:32.720
so go ahead, go ahead.
Continue. So within two to three weeks

314
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:38.240
they asked her to leave within thirty
days. That they why mail her?

315
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:45.839
Well, they say that she lives
leaves dishes in the sink. Wait a

316
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:47.599
minute, Wait a minute, Wait
a minute, wait a minute, she

317
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.440
leaves dishes in the sink. This
is a single family home she's renting,

318
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:57.119
correct, And how do they know
she leaves dishes in the sink? They're

319
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:03.440
taking pictures of it? What are
they coming into her home? No,

320
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.720
No, there's three other roommates.
They share the kitchen. Oh wait a

321
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:12.240
minute, So this home is rented
to three separate people that don't know each

322
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.799
other four all together. Okay?
Oh, okay, So she actually signed

323
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:26.039
a lease for a home with four
unrelated people, I mean four people that

324
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.519
are not on the lease together.
They all are kind of renting a room

325
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:36.319
separately. Yes, correct, they
all have their separate lease. Okay,

326
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.039
I get it. So the other
three or some of them must have complained

327
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:45.799
to her, I mean to the
landlord. Well, her fiance lives there.

328
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.839
He's one of the roommates. Is
the fiance complaining about her too?

329
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:57.559
Correct? Wait a minute, her
own fiance wants her out? Yes,

330
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.799
that's the problem. What okay,
wait a minute, does the fiance know

331
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:12.680
the landlord. It's the landlord's fiance
that's living there. Wait, my daughter

332
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:17.319
lives there alone. She's pregnant.
Okay, hold on, I gotta get

333
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:22.839
your daughter lives there with three other
roommates. Is that right, right?

334
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:32.720
And the landlord is her fiance.
No, the landlord fiance lives in one

335
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:37.720
of the rooms. Oh I'm sorry. Okay, okay, So the landlord's

336
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.559
girlfriend or whatever fiance lives in one
of the rooms. Your daughter lives in

337
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:48.079
one of the rooms, and then
two other people live there. Correct?

338
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:53.039
Okay, Now, what does the
least say about this, it's possible that

339
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:59.440
it has some terms and conditions that
she's not living up to. And are

340
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.279
the other tenants also wanting her out
of there? In other words, are

341
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.160
they ganging up on her? They
are, Oh, okay, hold on,

342
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:10.599
this is weird. Hold on and
we'll talk about this coming up.

343
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.400
I'm Tom Martine. You know,
I can't say enough about my whole house

344
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.519
fan. That's a fan that is
mounted in my attic, but it's a

345
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.880
house fan. It pulls air through
my home and destratifies the air. That

346
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:27.079
means it evens out the temperatures by
getting rid of the extreme heat above and

347
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.839
bringing cooler air from below. And
no matter what the weather's doing, it

348
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:37.720
does even out temperatures, which helps
your air conditioner work less. It's that

349
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:40.440
easiest. We'm all controlled. There's
no wiring in the walls. It takes

350
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:45.160
an hour and a half to put
in and get this. Man, you'll

351
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.160
save money. It'll pay for itself
because of the money you'll save with air

352
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.559
conditioning. Now your air conditioning works
less, your house feels better, and

353
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.359
I love it. I just can't
say enough. As I said, it's

354
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.000
one of the best products I've ever
purchased. QC co Colorado dot com.

355
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.920
Get yours and you'll be thanking me
for it. That's QC Colorado dot com.

356
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:11.039
The number is three oh three,
eight hundred and thirty four nineteen yep.

357
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.839
Okay, Now what about this season? What I mean is the days

358
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.519
are longer, a lot of people
go out after work. A lot of

359
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.880
people make the mistake of drinking one
too many, sometimes a lot too many.

360
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.440
Sometimes they don't drink that much,
but they miscalculate. Here's the deal.

361
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:32.880
If you're smoking weed, if you're
drinking, if you're partying and then

362
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.799
you're driving, you got problems.
Now, sometimes I'll ADMSS. Sometimes you

363
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:42.640
might have you might have gotten falsely
accused. Sometimes there's extenuating circumstances. But

364
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:47.720
here's the deal. If you need
a criminal defense attorney, and that's what

365
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:51.200
you need, then Joelazara is your
man. Because Joe will take care of

366
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:53.359
you, He will talk to you, he will help represent you. Don't

367
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:57.519
go through the system alone. It's
just too complicated to do. Joela's earra.

368
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.480
Now you can find Lazara Lazzar at

Martino, remember three oh three Martinos?

372
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.920
Then under the work's twenty four to
seven for your help. Now, April's

373
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:30.279
daughter is uh isn't a place twenty
three years old with other roommates. And

374
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:36.519
this is a weird situation because she
rents the room in a house along with

375
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.759
three others. But if the three
others are saying she's sloppy and doesn't do

376
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:45.960
her dishes, and there might be
more that we're not hearing about, I'm

377
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.920
not sure what the lease says about
that. So they're asking her to move.

378
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.839
Did they cite any terms of the
lease April about saying your daughter?

379
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:02.720
No, shay, They have not
at all. The first time they asked

380
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.599
her to do her dishes, and
when she didn't respond right away, the

381
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:15.240
landlord wanted to contact me. And
she lives in Texas, and she told

382
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:19.400
me, wait, you talked to
the landlord, She asked for me.

383
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:23.519
Yes, she got me involved.
Who did the landlord? I'm not on

384
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:26.839
the leaf. I'm not on the
leaf. But your daughter asked you to

385
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:32.039
talk to the landlord. No.
No, the landlord asked to talk to

386
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:36.920
me. Why I don't know,
I asked her, why or you want

387
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.720
to talk to me? I have
everything writing. You have an adult dogter

388
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.200
so why it's weird landlord would say, I want to talk to your mom.

389
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.079
Yeah, exactly, Well, she
told me I have it in the

390
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.079
text that she did tell me that, in fact, that she knew my

391
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:57.039
daughter was home because her fiance heard
her in the kitchen, and that my

392
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:03.519
daughter was not being an adult by
not answering her anyway. Where are we

393
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.640
going with this? What did the
landlord say? Well, she said that

394
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.400
Destiny should put in her thirty day
notice, and Destiny said, I can't

395
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:14.480
do that. I don't have a
place to go. You're going to,

396
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.240
you know, have to tell me
what I did to break the lease.

397
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.640
Yes, of course, and go
through the court. And so she actually

398
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:29.680
came in from Texas. And you
have to understand that my daughter is socially

399
00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:36.119
awkward and pregnant, and she told
my daughter that her lawyer was going to

400
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.920
have some form to make my daughter
leave by the fifteenth of August, and

401
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.920
she hasn't. We're listen, she
can proceed with an eviction. But she

402
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:51.200
has to have a reason, a
legal reason, right she does, she's

403
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.960
not fating a legal reason, and
she refuses to go to the court.

404
00:31:55.200 --> 00:32:00.480
So when no one was around,
she came in because her fiancee live there,

405
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.720
and told my daughter that she has
to sign this form that her lawyer

406
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.799
is going to type up, saying
that she has to leave by the fifteen.

407
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:13.200
Well, she well did your daughter. Your daughter didn't get pressured into

408
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.759
signing it, did she? I
told her not to sign it. We

409
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:22.240
need to get Brad O'Brien on just
I'm going to see if he can come

410
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:28.480
on and talk about this. So
hang on all right, Yeah, see

411
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:30.880
if he can come on Ka China, and then we'll, uh, we'll

412
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:35.319
work on that because I want to
ask him some general questions on it.

413
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.799
Carl, What question do you have
about coins? Carl? I just thank

414
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:49.319
yeah, I've got some old coins
and I just want to find a place

415
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:54.640
that will evaluate them. Rocky Mountain
coin, Klaus, Okay, one guy,

416
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.920
now listen, I have no affiliation
with him. I've known him for

417
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:07.279
years. But also I would use
Mark and Mark Machowski is that budget a

418
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:14.240
one transmission and auto repair now Mark
is also a coin dealer and silver and

419
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:17.720
gold. He's really smart and I
think you can trust him as well.

420
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:24.920
And I mean I don't think what's
that, sir. I think I remember

421
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.480
him when you yeah, from car
day. Now I want to say something.

422
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:31.599
When I said I think you can, I mean I know you can

423
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:37.680
trust him. I didn't mean to
sound qualified, but anyway, he's pretty

424
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:44.680
damn good. Now we also have
someone else here in Colorado Springs called Hollandbeck

425
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:54.559
and it's coin It's called the coin
gallery. And I think they do that.

426
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:59.640
Yeah, they buy and sell and
trade collectible coins. They're in Colorado

427
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:07.720
Springs. It's called Holland Beck Coin
Gallery. I think that number down there

428
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:15.599
is seven to one nine six three
four three three one three, and then

429
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:20.639
there's but as I said, budget
A one transmission and auto repair. I

430
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.880
was going to try to get that
number for you, but I have to

431
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.280
take this break. Budget. Let
me find him. Yeah, there he

00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.039

you discovered black mold, or you've
discovered asbestos, or an unattended death.

447
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:36.360
You know, these things are called
property catastrophes. You need a restoration company

448
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:40.400
to get rid of the dangerous stuff
or you'll devalue your property and then you

449
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:45.320
need help sometimes rebuilding, depending on
the damage. And American Restoration is the

450
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:50.599
company I recommend. Now, your
insurance company usually pays for this, but

451
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.440
they only pay once, so if
you get the wrong company upfront, you're

452
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:57.960
going to be screwed because they're not
going to pay again. So I recommend

453
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:04.039
American Restoration to one four seven.

O'Brien is on. He's a real estate

476
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:55.360
attorney and our expert on the show
for real Estate Matters, and Brad,

477
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:01.480
we don't have access to the exact
lease. But but but it sounds like

478
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:06.440
they probably don't have the grounds they
need because they're asking her to sign something.

479
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.960
Let me, let me just lay
it out. This one girl is

480
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:15.239
renting a room with three other roommates. Each of them have their own lease

481
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:22.599
for this house April. Each of
them have their own lease. They each

482
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:30.599
have a room and what do they
have? Kitchen privileges and living uh area

483
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:35.039
and a backyard, a backyard common
living area and they each have a room

484
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:38.599
and they share a bathroom. Now, your daughter was in there for just

485
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:44.440
three weeks and then they asked her
to leave. But they're asking her to

486
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:50.079
sign something. We're running out of
time, Brad. Can they just evict

487
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:57.440
if they like voter out not want
her? No pick? So it's a

488
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.800
matter of lease. I'm sure you're
gonna tell us. Do you have a

489
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:01.920
be in the least April, Brad, if you can hang on or we'll

490
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:06.199
call you right back. I'd like
to discuss this about roommates. Hold on,

Hello Tom Martino here, listen what the

494
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:42.159
heck is going on in your life
and what you need to do. I've

495
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:47.440
noticed a trend, sometimes not not
necessarily today, but the trend is many

496
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:52.320
times people wait too long to call, or they go about something the wrong

497
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:59.280
way, and we're able to help
them. We're able to help them if

498
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:04.320
they had called sooner. Sometimes it's
too late, like the people who move

499
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:08.960
down to their apartment because they saw
mold, and Brad O'Brien, I wanted

500
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:12.280
to talk to you about that,
and I wanted to talk to you about

501
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:16.760
this new dispute with the landlord and
just get some general advice. Brad O'Brien

502

real estate law of all kinds, of

503

course, not just renting stuff,
but they do like reviewing documents and border

504
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:34.039
disputes and eminent domain or easeman's.
They do other things too, like you're

505
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.840
buying a home with people, you're
doing a partnership and it's not your spouse,

506
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:43.639
or you're doing owner financing. Any
kind of real estate transaction they can

507
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:46.519
help with. And I'll give you
his number in a minute. But Brad,

508
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:50.400
here's the deal on this one.
I just want to go back to

509
00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:54.599
this one. This woman saw black
mold behind the couch. She and her

510
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:59.280
husband, they have a six month
old baby, and they just left.

511
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:01.800
They went to a hotel. They
left, They went to a hotel and

512
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:07.079
the mold came from a water heater
leak that had been fixed. So the

513
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:10.840
leak was fixed, and then they
left and never went back to the place

514
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.880
except to pack up their stuff and
leave. And I said, I don't

515
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:20.280
think you did that properly as far
as the constructive eviction. You didn't give

516
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:22.599
the landlord a chance to fix it. You didn't have any proof it was

517
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:27.239
in the air or it was even
dangerous. Do you agree with that,

518
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:29.920
Brad, when it comes to that
kind of thing, or do you say

519
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.239
the laws maybe might be more lenient? Now? What do you think?

520
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:37.320
Yeah? I kind of really it
does need to give a landload notice a

521
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:40.599
defective condition that makes it not happitable
and paid for the trail, and give

522
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:47.559
the land plan of opportunity to to
fix it or not fix it before before

523
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:52.480
actually just leaving. It sounds like
they didn't take the right steps and so

524
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:54.559
they're probably still they didn't. They
didn't validly terminate the lease, and they're

525
00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:58.599
still on the hook for the lease. That's what it sounds like. Now

526
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.400
let's go to April. Her daughter
moved in with four other people. Three

527
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:07.360
other people. Now, April,
did you you didn't see the lease?

528
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:13.519
Right? But apparently they did.
They did not quote a violation of the

529
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.840
lease when they asked your daughter to
leave. There's four roommates. They each

530
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:21.639
have their own deal, so they're
renting out a room and common area.

531
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:25.320
When a landlord does this, they
have a lease and then they want to

532
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:29.519
get rid of somebody, they have
to say, here's why. So when

533
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:34.760
the landlord said we want you to
move, and they said, well by

534
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.920
the end of the month, what
did they tell her? Okay, so

535
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:45.159
they said birthday said that stop doing
other people's dishes, and so she did

536
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:49.840
stop doing other people's dishes. Ye, so there was nothing. There was

537
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.639
nothing. So when I talked to
her, I said, what did she

538
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:57.199
break on the lease? And she
had no answer for that, and so

539
00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:59.719
I said, I'll see you in
court. And then I had to block

540
00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:04.320
her because I'm on my mama there. I mean, I was getting way

541
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:07.440
too into it, so I had
to actually block. But can they give

542
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:12.360
your daughter written notice you have to
leave? No, they have not.

543
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:16.119
They said they were going to email
her at thirty day notice. She said,

544
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:21.639
take me to court. I didn't
break the lease. Tell me how

545
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:27.280
I broke the lease. Then Alicia
came in from Texas, and I don't

546
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.079
know what she said to my daughter, who is very she gets intimidated very

547
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:35.480
easily. And they said, well, we're going to write this up and

548
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:37.519
you need to be out by the
fifteenth. And also you need to pay

549
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:45.360
half the rent for half the month. Well, okay, they said she

550
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:49.719
had to be out by what August
fifteenth? Yeah, and she ast us

551
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:54.559
to pay. Was this a year
lease? Yes? For a room?

552
00:43:55.960 --> 00:44:00.360
Yes? Well well technically if she
was a vig did she would have to

553
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:04.880
pay up to the point of eviction. I mean, if they did it

554
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.840
properly. But I mean, that's
not unusual. You don't just get to

555
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:13.480
stay there free because they're evicting you. But at the same time, though,

556
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:17.000
they never said, were we want
you to leave because of this or

557
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:22.800
this or this or did they did
they give a reason? They did not

558
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:28.880
give any specific reason of anything that
she valiated on the lease. Okay,

559
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:34.159
they just don't like her, and
they just don't like her, and she's

560
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.599
socially awkward. She say, what
does that mean? You said that twice?

561
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.639
What does this mean? Socially offen? What I'm saying is that she's

562
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:46.840
not real life sociable, So she
doesn't sit in the common area with that

563
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:52.800
that type of thing as to where
they haven't really got to know her.

564
00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:59.960
You know, she basically stays in
her room and she's I don't know,

565
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:05.199
she gets intimidated very easily. Now
are they making Are they making it rough

566
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:07.880
there? Now that they want her
to leave, they're making it rough?

567
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:10.079
And I'm worried about her pregnancy.
How are they making it? How are

568
00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:15.239
they making it rough? They're thrown
into book cameras in the kitchen and I

569
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.400
guess to watch her cook. They're
complaining that she cooks. Everything that they

570
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:23.119
complain about is. I don't see
how it could possibly be in the least

571
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:28.360
maybe it is. Well, give
me an idea of what they're complaining about.

572
00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:34.639
Does she cookin fo uh? One
time? It was? One time?

573
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:37.920
Was the food? One time?
Was she put the trash in the

574
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:43.039
recycling bin by accident because the one
told her there is a recycling bin there

575
00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:50.000
and she didn't recognize the symbol.
And then they don't like me. They

576
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.760
told her they wanted her out because
they're not comfortable because they don't like me.

577
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:59.960
Well, why didn't you visit her? I didn't. They don't want

578
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:04.159
like me because of the conversation I
have with the landlord when she's got in

579
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.159
touch. Okay, Brad, this
all sounds like nonsense. But if they

580
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:13.519
want to get first of all,
don't I don't know about this roommate situation.

581
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:16.280
Is it the same as any tendency, it's it's all dictated by the

582
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:21.440
least right. Well, is it
is it the ms who wants to a

583
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:25.320
victor or the landlord, the owner
of the place, just the owner and

584
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:30.079
her fiance. Now, by the
way, Brad, just so you know,

585
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:35.159
the owner is the landlord and the
fiance is one of the tenants along

586
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:38.239
with her daughter. So there's four
tenants and one of them just happens to

587
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:43.199
be the fiance of the landlord.
Okay, so a co tenant doesn't have

588
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:45.039
a right to evict a fellow co
tenant. But it sounds here like the

589
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:51.360
landlord instead as the least violation.
Well, a landlord can evict for a

590
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:55.559
material the lease violation, but nothing
here sounds material. Doing dishes, putting

591
00:46:55.639 --> 00:47:00.360
the trash in cycling Again, that's
not material in my opinion. So you

592
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:04.800
can't dedict somebody unless you go to
court and get a court order possession.

593
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.000
She's got to convince a judge that
there has been a material violation of the

594
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:10.880
lease. I don't think they could
convince the judge in this circumstance. Yeah,

595
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:16.400
especially if she keeps paying. But
April she was she planning to stay

596
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:23.599
there through the birth of her daughter. She was now, does your daughter

597
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:30.599
work? She got it, she
worked at Wendy's uh in Colie Springs.

598
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:34.480
But when she signed that leaf,
she didn't have a job, and they

599
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:38.639
knew that. I mean, I
don't. I'm not asking about that.

600
00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:44.679
I'm saying, what's your daughter?
Is your daughter going to be able to

601
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:50.599
have a baby there? I'm not
in that she's walking on eggshells. They're

602
00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:53.559
watching her every news. No,
But what I'm asking is when she signed

603
00:47:53.559 --> 00:48:00.599
the least, did they know that
eventually she's yes, I mean, because

604
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:05.320
that could that could make things a
little weird having a baby there, right,

605
00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:07.880
But they knew that. They said
that, they knew she was pregnant.

606
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:13.880
She's very pregnant. Oh, I
see when is she due? I

607
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:19.159
mean, she's doing November and she's
going and she had planned to live there,

608
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.599
and the landlord, I mean,
geez, that's weird. I mean,

609
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:27.159
okay, so she's going to stay
in the room with her Well,

610
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:29.800
she was going to stay in the
room with the baby for the first six

611
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:32.679
months and then she you know,
save her you know, save some money

612
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:37.960
back and get it obviously a place
for herself. Okay, and her baby,

613
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:45.039
this was a temporary where's the father
of the baby, Well, he's

614
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:51.360
probably I think he's still in jail. Oh jeez. Okay, this is

615
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:54.400
not an optimal situation. Brad O'Brien, by the way, thanks for your

616
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:58.760
advice on that. And he's right. I mean, they're going to have

617
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:01.960
to do a real eviction for a
real reason, so don't I hope she

618
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:07.960
doesn't get tricked into signing anything,
because that's what they want her to do.

619
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.639
They want her to voluntarily agree to
leave, and if she doesn't have

620
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:15.000
another place to go, make sure
she doesn't do that. By the way,

621

O'Brien, Legal Services olslaw dot Com
seven to zero three seven zero seventy

622
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:24.039
three eighty eight April. That's really
the longest short of it. Okay.

623
00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:29.039
I mean, at this point,
if you do locate a Leisha might want

624
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:30.519
to send it to us, we'll
take a look at it. But right

625
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:34.079
now it just sounds like she has
to wait for them to have a reason.

626
00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:39.199
But she may want to just maybe
be casually looking for another place that

627
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:45.360
might be better. Joseph Cano is
is my guest today. Joe Cano is

628
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:53.840
a certified financial planner and he talks
about investing and getting ready for retirement in

629
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:58.039
a secure way. One of the
things he talked, he talks about two

630
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:04.079
things, a fixed indexed annuity or
he has actually many, many of them

631
00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:08.800
to fit your circumstances. And these
annuities have guarantees. Now, just so

632
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:15.239
you know, you're not allowed to
even use the word guarantee when it comes

633
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:21.199
to financial products, but you can
when it comes to a fixed indexed annuity.

634
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:29.679
That's actually allowed because it is guaranteed
by an independent party outside of you

635
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:32.880
and the person who sells it,
and it's it's an insurance company. So

636
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:39.360
Joe, my first question is how
solid are the guarantees. Okay, well,

637
00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:43.760
you know, Tom, they're very, very solid with us because we

638
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:52.079
choose only companies that issue those types
of annuities that are one hundred plus years

639
00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:59.199
old. They're triple A rated companies
living around for you know, they'ving around

640
00:50:59.199 --> 00:51:04.519
through all the economic downturns, you
know, and they have survived. So

641
00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:10.079
the guarantees are playing guarantees. So
that means that if somebody transferred like a

642
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:15.519
four oh one K or an IRA
into this type of an annuity, they're

643
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:20.239
gonna be guaranteed, not to lose
what they put in or their games.

644
00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:23.639
And the beautiful thing about it,
Tom, is that this annuities will grow

645
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:29.760
when the market grows to a certain
level, but when the market drops,

646
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:35.400
it will remain level. They're not
gonna They're not gonna go down with the

647
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:38.519
market. And this is really what
I've been I've been hearing from people that

648
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:44.760
they're definitely afraid of losing their money. And I don't blame them. I

649
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:50.119
mean, somebody came to Golfice yesterday
with their four oh one K statement and

650
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:52.880
they said, how soon can I
transfer this money into that annuity? And

651
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:59.480
we can do it immediately, because
if we're tired of losing money, I

652
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:02.159
mean, yeah, now, now
simple. They're time and losing money right

653
00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:07.360
and more importantly, if they do
lose it takes too much time to regain

654
00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:09.480
it. That's one of the biggest
problems, Kaki. We have more coming

655

any of that garbage. That's why they're

686
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:55.559

Artchino here three all three seven one
three talks seven one three eight two five

707
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:35.159
five. What do you think the
very first thing burglars look for in a

708
00:56:35.199 --> 00:56:39.159
house? What do you think survey
done by law enforcement? I think it's

709
00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:43.320
so obvious. Come on, what's
the number one thing? Give me a

710
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:46.239
guest. Guns. Okay, they
look for guns, that's in the top

711
00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:50.360
ten. But the very first thing
they look for is cash. Well,

712
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:53.320
isn't that logical? It's easy?
I mean if you but what moron keeps

713
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:57.199
cash in their house in a way
that a burglar could take it? Maybe

714
00:56:57.239 --> 00:57:01.079
a floor safe or something. Would
you ever keep now? I keep okay,

715
00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:07.079
I keep cashing a sock in the
top left hand drawer. And but

716
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:10.320
who else who would look there?
Uh? Oh, let me think,

717
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:15.960
yeah, you'd have to. I
don't know. Well, I don't keep

718
00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:19.280
it in any sock. I keep
it in the sock in the back of

719
00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:22.199
the drawer. Do you think I'm
tricking anybody? By the way, Seriously,

720
00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:24.880
Now they look for cash, what's
the second thing? Come on,

721
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:30.039
Kachina, what's the second thing,
that's another obvious thing. You go into

722
00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:32.920
the bedroom and you open up what, uh, be large? Already said

723
00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:37.159
it jewelry, of course, be
large, jewelry, especially the bling he

724
00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:42.719
wears. And okay, so they
look for jewelry and watch it and then

725
00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:46.320
what I now, I didn't think. I really didn't think the number three

726
00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:52.519
on the list is accurate, although
please say it is electronics, because to

727
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:57.119
damn, why would you haul out? You can buy a damn seventy five

728
00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:00.400
inch led TV for four hundred and
ninety nine. You can buy, by

729
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:02.360
the way, you can buy the
older ones, you know, those old

730
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:07.760
ones. I'm sure they're referring more
to laptops, iPads. Yeah, I

731
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:09.639
think game boys or what are they
called that? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

732
00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:15.840
gaming systems exactly. That's probably right
now. Number four on the list,

733
00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:21.679
uh, drum roll. And of
course this one I see, I

734
00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:25.719
would see, and that is prescription
meds. But what are they looking for?

735
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:30.440
Though not just any prescriptions. They
would love to find painkillers, my

736
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:37.920
god, painkillers. Do you know
if opiates were not listen, if opiates

737
00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:43.639
did not build up a tolerance,
if opiates were not like so devastating to

738
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:47.800
your health and killed you and and
you know, arrested your respiratory rate.

739
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:53.199
We could have world peace. Just
pass them out, we could have world

740
00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:59.239
peace. No one wants to get
into a fight on opiates. But well,

741
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:02.760
hold on, but it would be
constummated. That's true. Yes,

742
00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:09.400
but you so fiber fiber and uh
fiber and fentanol. But anyway, I

743
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:13.599
digress. I'm serious. That's bad, bad crap, bad stuff. But

744
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:21.199
I'm but look at the look at
the desire people have nowadays for pain pills.

745
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:27.440
It's amazing to me. I'm gonna
tell you something. I had a

746
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:32.559
prescription one time after surgery. I
forget when, but anyway, I remember

747
00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:39.280
people around me asking if they could
have one. I don't mean like people

748
00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:45.760
around me in the station here.
They don't ask, They just steal.

749
00:59:45.840 --> 00:59:50.280
But I'm talking about and I'm kidding
about that, no, but I'm asking.

750
00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:52.920
I'm not gonna like mention names or
even circumstances. But people say,

751
00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:55.840
oh, by the way, do
you think I could borrow one of those

752
00:59:55.960 --> 01:00:00.400
or have one of those? I'm
having some pains. It's like it's like

753
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:06.159
this irresistible thing. Man. Okay, another thing they say they look for

754
01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:10.000
personal documents, and I can see
that they want. They want like birth

755
01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:15.639
certificates, passports, stuff like that
where they can they can forge identities.

756
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:22.000
They really want to forge identities.
And then they want designer clothes and purses.

757
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:28.360
And then they want keys. Now
to me, that's useless keys.

758
01:00:28.519 --> 01:00:31.400
What good would keys be unless you
can get to it immediately, like keys

759
01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:35.400
to a shed or keys to the
car out in the garage. Yeah,

760
01:00:35.559 --> 01:00:40.719
and then this one I absolutely refuse
to believe. And I don't think truthfully

761
01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:45.599
dot COM's got it right. They're
the ones that surveyed this, and that's

762
01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:52.280
and that is this furniture. Who
the hell is gonna move You don't even

763
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:55.280
move furniture when you're getting paid for
it, let alone steal it. And

764
01:00:55.360 --> 01:01:00.760
bicycles would be number ten. I'd
think bicycles would be higher, especially the

765
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:04.119
new e bikes and stuff. You
can walk away with a five thousand dollars

766
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:08.639
booty one bike boom. Anyway,
Joe kanos as I said, as a

767
01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:14.440
financial planner, we talked about,
hey, you know, Joe, not

768
01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:16.400
to disagree with you, because I
really do agree with you on ninety nine

769
01:01:16.440 --> 01:01:22.199
percent of the time. But somebody
just texted me and said, you know,

770
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:25.440
Tom I've been in the stock market
for many years and I've made good

771
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:29.760
money, and I don't know why
he always says people don't want to lose

772
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.760
money. Of course they don't,
but it's been a proven hedge against inflation.

773
01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:37.440
And I think the point we want
to make is not that you can't

774
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:45.159
have a stock account and hold some
pretty good stocks and make money. But

775
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:51.920
the problem is not the making of
the money, but making up for losses.

776
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:55.679
You have to have a time horizon, and as you get older,

777
01:01:55.840 --> 01:02:01.440
Joe, the time horizon shrinks.
Isn't that the main point? Well,

778
01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:05.119
that is right, you know,
and that we're not really disagreeing with the

779
01:02:05.119 --> 01:02:09.360
stock market. I think if you're
young and you know what you're doing,

780
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:13.840
Tom, that is the key.
You got to know what you're doing to

781
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:16.480
pick up the right stocks. You
know you can do well with the stock

782
01:02:16.519 --> 01:02:22.880
market. But as you get older, You're absolutely right, your time horizon

783
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:28.920
will shrink. And this is when
people come in and they say, we

784
01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:32.480
want to keep it safe and we
want to make our money last as long

785
01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:36.840
as we will. See that is
the key. You know, you can

786
01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:40.800
build a beautiful out of money with
your far one k or with the stock

787
01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:45.599
market but if you begin to draw
the money out, it's on a deplete.

788
01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:52.119
And of course, as a financial
planner, you wouldn't tell people to

789
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:54.800
put all their money into an annuity
anyway. I mean, there's nothing wrong

790
01:02:54.880 --> 01:03:00.320
with having a variety of buckets,
right, Well, absolutely, you're right.

791
01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:05.639
I mean, we actually tell people
not to put all their eggs in

792
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:10.239
one basket. We want people to
diversify us. People come in to see

793
01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:15.320
me. We're talking about the retirement
aged people. Okay, we're not talking

794
01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:21.000
about the young, young individuals that
coming, right, We're talking about retirement

795
01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:24.599
age people. Those are the people
that are definitely afraid of the market.

796
01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:29.480
They want to keep their money safe
and they want to have an income that

797
01:03:29.639 --> 01:03:34.199
will last, a guaranteed income that
would last for the rest of their lives.

798
01:03:34.400 --> 01:03:37.800
That's what they're you know, that's
what really they're interested on you.

799
01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:42.280
Yeah, and Joe, Joe,
I have a couple facts is here,

800
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:44.960
but I tease me not facts as
texts. But I'll get to you in

801
01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:47.320
a second. Here three O three
seven seven nine sixty six hundred is his

802
01:03:47.440 --> 01:03:52.920
number when he's not here. The
website's my moneymway dot com. And then

803
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:55.840
I also have a question about overfunding, life insurance people, whatever you want

804
01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:58.800

01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:02.679
or complaint. And also I want
to remind you you can text my personal

806
01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:06.960
Google Voice number, which, by
the way, is it's truly mine and

807
01:04:08.039 --> 01:04:11.280
only mine. It doesn't go into
a big switchboard or anything. So let

808
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:14.880
me give you this number, and
again you're welcome to contact me twenty four

809
01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:16.519
to seven. I may not get
back to you right away, but it's

810
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:20.639
seven four seven nine nine nine fifty
two eighty. I made up my mind.

811
01:04:20.679 --> 01:04:24.079
I want to give direct access to
that number. Of course, we

812
01:04:24.199 --> 01:04:29.159
also have our other number here on
the show that iheartprovised for texting, which

813
01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:31.480
is five seven seven thirty nine.
But let me give you that Google number

814
01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:39.719
again. Ready, seven four seven
nine nine nine fifty two eighty. We

815
01:04:39.840 --> 01:04:45.239
have more coming right up. You
know, if you are facing hail damage

816
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:48.679
of any kind, don't ever make
the mistake of signing something at the door

817
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:54.440
on a clipboard or anywhere, or
on an iPad to let a roofer look

818
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:57.760
at your roof. That's a trick, that's a contract. Okay, don't

819
01:04:57.800 --> 01:05:02.239
sign anything if a roofer tells you
that you have to sign something for them

820
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:06.960
to look at your roof. They're
liars. If they tell you it's for

821
01:05:08.159 --> 01:05:13.039
liability and all that, they're liars. If they tell you they can't give

822
01:05:13.079 --> 01:05:17.440
you a full contract until they talk
to the adjuster or whatever your insurance company

823
01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:21.719
does, that, they're going to
go with their liars. Okay, if

824
01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:26.960
they say they need money upfront,
they're liars. How about all that?

825
01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:30.440
Right? So who doesn't do that? Excel Roofing doesn't do that. Excel

826
01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:34.440
Roofing will look at your roof,
give you a full detailed contract upfront,

827
01:05:34.559 --> 01:05:38.360
not ask you to sign it,
not pressure you, not give you a

828
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:43.079
penalty if you do sign one,
and they never ask for a dime until

829
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:45.880
they're done, not a cent until
your content. Excelroofing dot com. That's

830
01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:51.639
excel as an excellent ex cel excelroofing
dot com three oh three seven sixty one

831
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:58.079
sixty four hundred. Now what if
you want the best deal ever on a

832
01:05:58.159 --> 01:06:01.599
water heater? Who would you call? I hope you remember this? Europlumbing

833
01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:10.599
Colorado dot net. Euro Plumbing.
Now Europlumbing says they'll do a forty gallantaning

834
01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:14.480
fully installed for thirteen ninety nine and
a fifty gallant tank for fourteen ninety nine.

835
01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:17.320
Now think about that, right,
around fifteen hundred bucks for a full

836
01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:20.960
fifty gallentaning fully installed. No one
can do it. Plus they tear out

837
01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:25.199
and haul away the old one.
Europlumbing says, put them to the test

838
01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:28.679
and they'll show you not just water
heaters, but any plumbing. They'll do

839
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:31.719
cheaper and better than anyone. That's
three oh three sixty six eight six eight

840
01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:40.559
four four six six eight six eight
four four. Hey, Tom Martino here

841
01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:44.440
three three seven one three talk seven
one three eight two five five Joe.

842
01:06:45.119 --> 01:06:48.679
We got a tough crowd man when
it comes to our streaming audience, our

843
01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:54.119
podcasters, our textures. So I'm
gonna ask you some straight up things.

844
01:06:54.199 --> 01:06:58.280
Okay, now, okay, First, I want to make a statement so

845
01:06:58.360 --> 01:07:05.400
I'm fully trans parent. I have
an annuity. It's one of my tools.

846
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:10.239
It's not the only one, it's
one of them. Okay now,

847
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:15.559
but somebody wants to know. And
I get this. If you take a

848
01:07:15.679 --> 01:07:20.239
pot of money and put it away
and it makes I think mine, I

849
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:24.400
don't know whatever it's returning. What
are they returning? A good annuity will

850
01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:27.679
return, Not that it matters because
it ratchets up and you can't lose it.

851
01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:30.239
And I think it compounds too,
don't they compound or not? Joe?

852
01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:34.079
You tell me on anywye our annuity
stuff? Two components fo me.

853
01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:39.480
They have you know, the the
index component. Right, It means that

854
01:07:39.519 --> 01:07:43.960
the annuity will grow on the stock
market grows. But they also have a

855
01:07:44.119 --> 01:07:49.480
guaranteed portion that they depending on the
age, it could range between four to

856
01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:56.079
five or six percent. Right,
So that's the guarantee, right, right,

857
01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:59.440
that's the guarantee. Said, that's
right. So so but then you

858
01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:02.119
have the stock market index. So
if the S and P goes up to

859
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:05.559
if the S and P does eighteen
percent, you don't do eighteen but you

860
01:08:05.719 --> 01:08:10.519
do what's called a participation of that, right, that is right, It's

861
01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:14.320
called the participation. So you got
a few things to look at with an

862
01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:16.800
annuity, okay. One is okay, you have a lump sum of money

863
01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:20.600
or you know a pot of money, and then you have what's called a

864
01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:25.039
guaranteed rate of return, so no
matter what, you'll never make less than

865
01:08:25.119 --> 01:08:30.239
that guaranteed. Or you have the
index and the index you don't get one

866
01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:34.560
hundred percent of the index, you
get a participation rate. So different annuities

867
01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:39.960
have different participation rates, and if
you get a higher participation rate, you

868
01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:43.520
might get a lower guaranteed rate.
If you get a higher guaranteed rate,

869
01:08:43.800 --> 01:08:46.520
you might get a lower participation rate. Whatever. And that's what Joe does.

870
01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:50.199
He helps you balance it all out. So here's my question, how

871
01:08:50.399 --> 01:08:55.960
much does it cost me? Because
people are obsessed with this, they're saying,

872
01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:00.760
look, I heard they're really expensive, So what is it really costing

873
01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:02.439
me? I mean, I know
I'm making money. I know I have

874
01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:06.159
a guarantee of an income. But
am I paying too much for those privileges?

875
01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:10.479
Are you ready for this? Yeah? And I want to know?

876
01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:13.520
Yeah, go ahead, let let
me tell you. This is some black

877
01:09:13.600 --> 01:09:18.239
and white go ahead, guarantee this. Okay. The only fees customer will

878
01:09:18.359 --> 01:09:26.640
ever pay on our annuities that we
promote is one tenth at this one tenth

879
01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:30.680
of one percent? Now, job
deth of a percent? Okay, I

880
01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:34.680
need to understand this now, so
let's just take again. I don't like

881
01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:39.479
talking in numbers, no one really
does. But what's an app I don't

882
01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:42.960
even know if there is such a
thing. What's Let's see what do people

883
01:09:43.079 --> 01:09:45.840
say? Unless some people have a
couple might come to you with five hundred

884
01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:50.640
thousand, right, that's right.
Okay, so you're saying one tenth of

885
01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:57.119
one percent, one tenth, one
tenth of a percent of the account value

886
01:09:57.319 --> 01:10:00.880
every year, that's the only fee
they hey, Tom, and they're going

887
01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:03.960
to be getting that bonus. They're
going to be getting that. So on

888
01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:08.680
all, I hope, I hope
I'm doing this correctly. But okay,

889
01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:14.680
so you're saying on a five hundred
thousand dollars account, okay, you're saying

890
01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:19.359
ten percent would be of course would
be uh fifty grand, but they're paying

891
01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:24.840
a tenth of that. So they're
paying five grand a year, right,

892
01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:28.520
yeah, okay, one tenth of
a percent, Okay, got it?

893
01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:31.039
They pay Now if you look at
the if you look at four one ks

894
01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:33.920
or no, I know, I
was just going to say this, listen,

895
01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:39.680
man, I have I have accounts
where I'm paying that on an IRA

896
01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:45.840
for self directed iras, right okay, So so yeah, some people are

897
01:10:45.880 --> 01:10:50.039
paying between three and five percent and
feesm Now, so here's the deal mark.

898
01:10:50.119 --> 01:10:54.279
But now now hold on, So
that's a tenth of a percent the

899
01:10:54.399 --> 01:10:57.600
first year. But when the account
grows, then the fees go. The

900
01:10:57.720 --> 01:11:00.239
fee goes one tenth of whatever the
account value was. Right, that is

901
01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:05.000
that is direct. Okay. But
is there an upfront fee? No,

902
01:11:05.720 --> 01:11:11.560
there's not. The only fee.
The only fee they pay is one then

903
01:11:12.119 --> 01:11:16.880
of a percent each and every year
period. Nothing more. Okay. Now

904
01:11:18.079 --> 01:11:26.399
what about someone said it's not an
investment, it's an insurance product. It

905
01:11:26.520 --> 01:11:30.119
is an insurance product, but it
is an investment. You see, an

906
01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:35.840
investment is when the money has the
potential for growth. A savings account is

907
01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:42.479
not an investment basically, Okay,
if the potential for a great growth is

908
01:11:42.520 --> 01:11:48.239
an investment. So an annuity.
People use annuities as investments for their retirement

909
01:11:49.159 --> 01:11:53.600
period. They have more. They
have multiple annuities. Tom. You know,

910
01:11:53.760 --> 01:11:59.319
we have people that have fourteen annuities
and they ladder the annuities. So

911
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:01.640
if they need an income from one, they turned the income on one and

912
01:12:01.720 --> 01:12:08.119
to let the other thirteen anuties grow
keep growing. When they need more income,

913
01:12:08.479 --> 01:12:13.520
they'll turn the switch on the second
annuity to increase their payout every single

914
01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:16.640
month or every single year, and
then let the other twelve you need to

915
01:12:16.760 --> 01:12:23.720
grow and they go through retirement.
In this matter, all me safe with

916
01:12:23.880 --> 01:12:29.199
a guaranteed income stream for the rest
of their lives. Okay, here's and

917
01:12:29.319 --> 01:12:30.439
here's what I want to say.
And I got to say this straight up.

918
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:35.479
So anybody listening. I've told Joe
knows this. We're almost the same

919
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:39.079
age. I think he's much younger
than me. But anyway, anyway,

920
01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:44.239
that's right. Now here's the point. You know, I've been doing this

921
01:12:44.479 --> 01:12:48.680
for fifty years. I'm seventy years
old. I am not here to sell

922
01:12:48.800 --> 01:12:53.600
anything. In fact, Joe,
you know how I feel about the financial

923
01:12:53.680 --> 01:12:56.199
industry. I think most of them
are a bunch of crooks in my in

924
01:12:56.279 --> 01:13:01.640
my idea, and I'm here to
talk about every aspect of everything, the

925
01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:06.560
benefits, the advantages, the disadvantages. I have no one to protect and

926
01:13:06.720 --> 01:13:12.479
nothing to hide. Neither does Joe. So here's your chance, you know.

927
01:13:12.720 --> 01:13:15.720
I mean, I had some guys
on YouTube asked me what I want

928
01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:16.640
to know, straight up? What
the fees are? I want to know?

929
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:19.760
Why do you call it an investment? Okay? And okay, so

930
01:13:20.319 --> 01:13:26.079
no one can ask a question.
I won't ask you, you know.

931
01:13:26.319 --> 01:13:30.640
And so what I'm saying, there's
nothing to hide because the Internet is such

932
01:13:30.920 --> 01:13:34.479
and the world is such that we
can get any information we want. Why

933
01:13:34.520 --> 01:13:41.319
would anyone be so stupid as to
try to lie or try to hide facts.

934
01:13:41.640 --> 01:13:44.560
That's not what this show is about. I'm not trying to sell you

935
01:13:44.600 --> 01:13:47.560
an annuity. In fact, many
times Joe and I go back and forth

936
01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:50.560
on how much should be an annuity, how much in the stock market,

937
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:57.239
back and forth because there are different
philosophies. It doesn't mean one philosophy is

938
01:13:57.239 --> 01:14:00.159
all wrong and one is all right. They are what they are. I

939
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:05.399
think the biggest and most important thing
I found out in investing is balance.

940
01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:14.640
Is that there's nothing altogether bad orgether
good, including variable annuities. Now now

941
01:14:14.720 --> 01:14:18.079
I'm not counting those, they're very
risky, but there is a place for

942
01:14:18.199 --> 01:14:24.600
those for a sophisticated investor, because
a variable annuity it has them. I

943
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.279
don't want to get into it right
now because that's not what we're talking about,

944
01:14:27.319 --> 01:14:31.760
But there's a there. I think, Joe, there's probably a place

945
01:14:31.880 --> 01:14:38.840
for every investment with the proper knowledge. Don't you think I agree one hundred

946
01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:42.479
percent? I mean I ply agree
a hundred percent. So the key is,

947
01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:45.199
you know there's good annuities and bad
annudies. Okay, yeah, that's

948
01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:49.359
true. Place there's a place for
those annuities. Like you said, that's

949
01:14:49.399 --> 01:14:54.479
right. If somebody's a real savvy
investor, a very well annuity may do

950
01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:58.199
well. If somebody wants to be
in the stock market and take that risk,

951
01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:01.079
you know they're an aggressive, right
investor. That's right. I got

952
01:15:01.199 --> 01:15:03.800
to take this break though, Okay, So hang on, folks, give

953
01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:09.079
us a call with any problem question
or complaint or investment question. As I

954
01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:12.479
said, we don't hide from anything. You can ask anything you want.

955
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:16.439
More coming right up. You know, George Donaldson is a friend of mine

956
01:15:16.479 --> 01:15:21.399
and he got into the plumbing,
heating, cooling, and electrical all of

957
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:28.279
that many many years ago, and
then he's been doing companies around the country

958

01:15:36.199 --> 01:15:40.560

961
01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:45.119
means fair. And if you have
anyone telling you you need something, get

to seven three oh three six two seven

1007
01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:20.640
eighty four sixty six. Some of
the things we've been talking about. One

1008
01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:30.000
of the things when you discover a
bad problem in an apartment you're renting or

1009
01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:35.199
a house you're renting, you are
you can't just end your lease and walk

1010
01:19:35.239 --> 01:19:42.039
away. Now you have to go
through a procedure to end that lease.

1011
01:19:42.720 --> 01:19:45.199
If you don't think the landlord is
coming through to fix it, and it's

1012
01:19:45.319 --> 01:19:50.439
dangerous or it's safety related, or
security related. You have to go through

1013
01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:54.960
a proper procedure. Now you can
leave early if you on, but you

1014
01:19:55.079 --> 01:19:57.920
still have to pay your rent until
you get out of paying your rent.

1015
01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:02.800
It's called a constructive eviction. I
think people make such a big mistake when

1016
01:20:02.840 --> 01:20:09.399
it comes to constructive evictions. Okay, so you're renting. In this case,

1017
01:20:09.439 --> 01:20:13.039
they discovered black mold. They immediately
went to a hotel room. They

1018
01:20:13.039 --> 01:20:15.039
didn't even check to see if the
black mold was toxic, if it was

1019
01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:18.159
in the air, if the landlord
would fix it. They just left.

1020
01:20:19.159 --> 01:20:26.600
Okay, Now they wouldn't go back, so they proceeded to find another apartment

1021
01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:30.720
and they left. That's it.
They just stopped paying rent and left.

1022
01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:36.039
They had eight months left on their
lease. This landlord can go after them

1023
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:42.880
for the money. What you're supposed
to do is notify the landlord that there's

1024
01:20:42.920 --> 01:20:46.920
a health or safety violation and that
it must be fixed. It's inhabitable,

1025
01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:51.079
and it must be fixed within a
reasonable amount of time. You can give

1026
01:20:51.119 --> 01:20:57.800
them seven days, ten days,
some people say thirty days. There's reasonable.

1027
01:20:58.079 --> 01:21:00.520
There's really no one number that count. It depends on what it is.

1028
01:21:01.600 --> 01:21:04.920
And then if they don't fix it, You can say I'm going to

1029
01:21:04.960 --> 01:21:09.720
withhold rent and fix it myself,
but you have to fix it. You

1030
01:21:09.880 --> 01:21:14.840
can't just withhold rent. The other
thing people do is say, well,

1031
01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:19.720
then I'm leaving, and then they
go about evicting themselves. That's why it's

1032
01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:26.640
called the constructive eviction. You're leaving. Now the landlord can say you didn't

1033
01:21:26.640 --> 01:21:28.640
have a reason to do that.
You have, so you have to be

1034
01:21:28.760 --> 01:21:33.359
ready to show proof that it was
dangerous or it was unsafe in some way

1035
01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:42.760
or unhealthy and get expert opinions and
testing. If it's black mold, you

1036
01:21:42.960 --> 01:21:46.159
can't just say I don't like it
and leave. Well, you can,

1037
01:21:46.279 --> 01:21:49.000
but you're not going to get reimbursed, and in fact, they might be

1038
01:21:49.079 --> 01:21:54.039
able to come after you for breach
of contract or breach of the lease,

1039
01:21:54.960 --> 01:22:01.720
so be careful. If you're in
that situation, call us first. Then

1040
01:22:01.800 --> 01:22:06.920
we have a situation where people sign
for a room in a house, not

1041
01:22:08.159 --> 01:22:11.960
necessarily the whole house, but a
room plus common areas. Those are the

1042
01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:15.640
most risky leases you can have because
you're living with three people unaffiliated with you,

1043
01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:18.920
and if you all don't get along, it's hell to pay because you

1044
01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:23.079
just signed a year's lease, then
if they want to get rid of you,

1045
01:22:23.199 --> 01:22:26.960
they can make life difficult for you. So I never recommend those kinds

1046
01:22:26.960 --> 01:22:30.880
of leases, although there are more
and more of them showing up. Because

1047
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:34.199
people can't afford a place by themselves. It's better to get someone you know,

1048
01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:40.039
a friend or relative. Even that's
not perfect, but it's better to

1049
01:22:40.159 --> 01:22:45.760
do that than this other way.
The only benefit this way is when you

1050
01:22:45.880 --> 01:22:50.560
go in and get a room and
you have common areas and you have other

1051
01:22:50.680 --> 01:22:54.800
roommates, at least you're not on
the hook for the whole rent, even

1052
01:22:54.880 --> 01:22:58.439
if one of the roommates flakes out. Okay, because when you go in

1053
01:22:58.520 --> 01:23:01.760
with a friend or relative, those
leases usually say that both of you are

1054
01:23:01.800 --> 01:23:05.760
responsible for all of it. So
that's a problem because if you go in

1055
01:23:05.920 --> 01:23:09.479
like a friend and rent a place, right, we've had this happen where

1056
01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:13.359
friends go in and rent a place, then they have an argument or one

1057
01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:16.920
friend is a deadbeat, the other
friend isn't. One friend leaves, that

1058
01:23:17.159 --> 01:23:21.199
one friend who remains is on the
hook for everything. Whereas if you go

1059
01:23:21.439 --> 01:23:27.560
and rent a room and a common
area in the house like the kitchen and

1060
01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:30.600
living room, but you all have
your own room, those are separate leases

1061
01:23:30.800 --> 01:23:38.239
for each one of you, so
renting is very difficult people, It's very

1062
01:23:39.439 --> 01:23:45.239
very difficult. I was thinking of
a business because of how expensive things are,

1063
01:23:46.199 --> 01:23:50.159
and I don't know how exactly I
would structure it, but it would

1064
01:23:50.199 --> 01:23:56.239
almost be like a co op where
an owner, let's say it, such

1065
01:23:56.279 --> 01:23:59.760
as myself or an investor, would
own a piece of real estate and then

1066
01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:02.720
you buy into it. You don't
have to buy the whole thing, so

1067
01:24:02.920 --> 01:24:06.279
we each own part of that unit, so you have some skin in the

1068
01:24:06.359 --> 01:24:10.560
game. It's yours, but I
own part of it to keep the cost

1069
01:24:10.640 --> 01:24:15.079
down. I'm not sure how that
would be structured, but I don't think

1070
01:24:15.119 --> 01:24:19.640
it's an entirely terrible idea because if
you flake and leave, you give up

1071
01:24:19.680 --> 01:24:27.119
your ownership. If you stay,
you have equity if you want to sell

1072
01:24:27.159 --> 01:24:31.000
your part. So I don't know, I mean it would it would require

1073
01:24:31.119 --> 01:24:35.920
some thought to do that properly.
But we have to come up with innovative,

1074
01:24:36.000 --> 01:24:40.680
innovative ways to get people a place
to live. I mean, I

1075
01:24:40.840 --> 01:24:44.199
feel bad for young people who are
working their asses off and they can't afford

1076
01:24:44.239 --> 01:24:46.159
a place to live. I mean, they can't live with their parents.

1077
01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:53.159
The whole time now three ozho three
seven to one three talk three oh three

1078
01:24:53.239 --> 01:24:57.439
seven one three eight two five five. On another tex somebody was asking about

1079
01:24:57.439 --> 01:25:01.439
the E four seventy tolls that we
were talking about the other day. Four

1080
01:25:01.600 --> 01:25:08.479
seventy will assess a toll to you, plus penalties and interest if you ignore

1081
01:25:08.520 --> 01:25:14.239
their notices. If you don't have
an updated address on your registration or title,

1082
01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:18.159
you better have it because you won't
know you're getting those notices. And

1083
01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:24.159
those tolls can be doubled when I
mean not the tolls themselves, but the

1084
01:25:24.279 --> 01:25:29.680
tolls the bill could be double when
you consider the interest in penalties. And

1085
01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:35.760
that's E four seventy. Now.
I said before the break that the one

1086
01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:41.640
thing about this show is that we
absolutely have no one to protect. Ever.

1087
01:25:42.399 --> 01:25:45.000
We have sponsors and we love them. We have the referral list.

1088
01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:47.000
We love them. But you know
what, we love them until we don't.

1089
01:25:47.479 --> 01:25:50.560
But that doesn't normally happen. I
think over the years, I've maybe

1090
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:56.560
bounced two clients all together. I
mean, it doesn't happen often because we

1091
01:25:56.680 --> 01:26:01.479
vet them beforehand and we constantly are
continually monitor them. There have been times

1092
01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:06.840
we've parted with clients on a friendly
basis, But they just I didn't.

1093
01:26:06.920 --> 01:26:11.319
They were not my cup of tea. They did not I don't think,

1094
01:26:11.439 --> 01:26:15.680
handled things properly. They weren't dishonest, they weren't crooked, but not my

1095
01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:21.720
cup of tea. So we parted
as friends. Let's say now, but

1096
01:26:23.000 --> 01:26:30.000
let's talk about the biggest complaint.
I get about good and bad people,

1097
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:35.479
but mostly about good people. The
biggest com plan I get. If I

1098
01:26:35.560 --> 01:26:40.279
had to sum up all the complaints
I get, what do you think the

1099
01:26:40.319 --> 01:26:45.359
biggest complaint is? What do you
think it is. I'm not talking about

1100
01:26:45.399 --> 01:26:47.279
out and out ripoffs. I'm not
talking about ripoffs. I'm talking about a

1101
01:26:47.359 --> 01:26:58.880
complaint that is the most common complaint
I get. That is pricing. I

1102
01:26:59.079 --> 01:27:08.039
swear to god, people are just
wild about pricing. Now here's some of

1103
01:27:08.079 --> 01:27:14.199
the problems. A company comes into
your home. It's mostly services companies.

1104
01:27:15.159 --> 01:27:19.119
Sometimes it's attorneys and other things.
But what I don't understand is you're giving

1105
01:27:19.159 --> 01:27:25.079
a price up front and you approve
it. You approve it. Why why

1106
01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:28.840
would you approve it? If you're
questioning that prece are you thinking, well,

1107
01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:31.039
I'm going to sign it? Don't
ever think this? Well, Tom

1108
01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:34.399
Martine recommends him, so it must
be the lowest price. That'll never happen.

1109
01:27:35.039 --> 01:27:39.479
It doesn't mean it's the highest price
either, But don't sign it if

1110
01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:43.239
you don't like the price. If
you have a question about the price,

1111
01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:49.760
research it. Now. Unfortunately,
there's nothing at a bargain anymore. Nothing

1112
01:27:50.039 --> 01:27:56.199
is a bargain. Not windows,
not doors, not siding, not roofing,

1113
01:27:56.800 --> 01:28:01.640
not appliances, not appliance repair,
not furnaces, not water, well

1114
01:28:01.680 --> 01:28:05.800
water heaters. We have europlumbing.
That's the one area where he's still doing

1115
01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:12.399
some screaming deals. But in general, you're not gonna find bargains. You're

1116
01:28:12.439 --> 01:28:16.119
gonna find value, maybe great rate
systems at great prices, but you're not

1117
01:28:16.239 --> 01:28:20.399
gonna find anything cheap or and expensive. You're just not okay. That goes

1118
01:28:20.439 --> 01:28:25.960
for auto repair and everything. So
don't sign it up front and then call

1119
01:28:26.079 --> 01:28:29.920
me and say I was told by
my brother in law that's too much money.

1120
01:28:30.239 --> 01:28:33.479
Do research. There's nothing to prevent
you from doing research before you call

1121
01:28:33.560 --> 01:28:36.239
them to your house. Now,
I know, in an emergency, if

1122
01:28:36.279 --> 01:28:40.439
you need something, you need a
furnace, or you need air and it's

1123
01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:44.159
freezing out and all that, you
know, you tend to make a decision

1124
01:28:44.199 --> 01:28:47.039
because you need it. But even
in those cases, that can be prevented

1125
01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:54.279
by simply doing some homework. In
other words, well not homework, proactive

1126
01:28:54.359 --> 01:28:59.039
maintenance. Before it's extremely cold,
and I mean, I'm gonna be telling

1127
01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:03.439
you this in about a month or
so, start looking at your furnace.

1128
01:29:04.359 --> 01:29:09.439
So if someone says, hey,
you need a new furnace, you're not

1129
01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:15.680
so damn cold and afraid that not
to get it that you have time saying

1130
01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:19.640
hmm. He says, my furnace
needs to be replaced and it's going to

1131
01:29:19.720 --> 01:29:28.560
cost this much. And by the
way, always compare and always shop.

1132
01:29:28.680 --> 01:29:32.520
That's the only thing that will give
you an edge. That doesn't mean you're

1133
01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:38.880
going to find something cheap, but
maybe cheaper or less expensive. The point

1134
01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:43.600
is, don't call afterwards. I've
even had people call. Listen to this.

1135
01:29:45.319 --> 01:29:49.600
One person said fourteen to five.
They had a furnace and AC put

1136
01:29:49.680 --> 01:29:57.159
in for fourteen to five, and
they literally told us that they thought it

1137
01:29:57.279 --> 01:30:01.960
was fourteen hundred five, fourteen hundred
five dollars fourteen to five. Come on,

1138
01:30:03.079 --> 01:30:06.880
now, if you really believe that
you did sign something. But here's

1139
01:30:06.920 --> 01:30:10.720
another complaint I get, and I
don't know what to do about this,

1140
01:30:10.840 --> 01:30:13.920
but I'm going to talk to our
companies about it. Do you know that

1141
01:30:14.119 --> 01:30:17.439
nowadays when they have you sign like
hold on, hold on, Yeah,

1142
01:30:18.520 --> 01:30:21.920
you sign on these things. You
sign on on iPads. Now, you

1143
01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:26.000
don't even sign on paper or clipboard. Some of them have them. So

1144
01:30:26.119 --> 01:30:29.439
they put they put an iPad in
front of you and say here, and

1145
01:30:29.560 --> 01:30:32.520
you see prices, right, and
you see conditions, you sign, and

1146
01:30:32.680 --> 01:30:38.279
that's the last you see it.
The only the only time you get a

1147
01:30:38.359 --> 01:30:40.920
copy of that is when they get
back to the office and they email it

1148
01:30:41.000 --> 01:30:45.279
to you. Now, I'm hoping
there's a way you get an email to

1149
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:48.319
you immediately. In fact, I
would want to email to me before I

1150
01:30:48.479 --> 01:30:51.520
signed it, or if I'm gonna
sign it, I want to read it.

1151
01:30:51.800 --> 01:30:56.680
And it's very intimidating. When it's
on an iPad and they say go

1152
01:30:56.760 --> 01:31:00.760
ahead and sign, it's very intimidating. And then you don't get a copy

1153
01:31:00.880 --> 01:31:05.039
right away. So all of these
things are all new age, they're new

1154
01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:11.560
the way we do things now.
But again, pricing is the number one

1155
01:31:11.640 --> 01:31:17.439
complaint, the number one now as
far as financial products. As I say,

1156
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:21.720
we talk a lot about finances on
this show, and I have guests

1157
01:31:21.800 --> 01:31:26.680
on today, and we're going to
talk about that. But I will get

1158
01:31:26.800 --> 01:31:30.520
to those questions that you asked,
no matter how tough they are. Now,

1159
01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:34.359
Phil, you have an issue with
an Apple laptop. I want to

1160
01:31:34.399 --> 01:31:38.560
ask you something out of curiosity.
Here, Phil, is it a new

1161
01:31:38.760 --> 01:31:45.079
laptop? Yeah? I just bought
a laptop from Walmart. I see it

1162
01:31:45.279 --> 01:31:50.000
was on sale. It was like
three dollars. Wait, wait, wait,

1163
01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:56.760
an Apple laptop, an Apple for
three hundred dollars. Yeah, over

1164
01:31:56.840 --> 01:32:00.520
at Walmart it was on sale.
It was like the model is it dollars?

1165
01:32:00.239 --> 01:32:02.520
You know, I don't even know
the model. I don't know anything

1166
01:32:02.560 --> 01:32:04.960
about these computers. All right,
hold on, Phil, I'll come right

1167
01:32:05.000 --> 01:32:08.760
back to all right, Cameo,
I will. I'll come right back to

1168
01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:12.119
Cameo. And you're calling about shop. Oh, I know what you're calling

1169
01:32:12.159 --> 01:32:15.079
about. I looked up your call. You hang on. We got more

01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:14.479
discount bath because they do the whole
bath at a discount, hence the name

1182
01:33:14.600 --> 01:33:17.439
discount bath. I love when the
name says it all. They'll give you

1183
01:33:17.640 --> 01:33:21.239
prices up front, they'll show you
what they have. They have imaging software

1184
01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:25.039
so you can see what the bathroom
will look like, whether it's a half

1185
01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:28.279
bath in a hallway, a five
piece bath, a whole bath, a

1186
01:33:28.359 --> 01:33:30.760
big master bath, whatever it is, they can do it, and they

1187
01:33:30.800 --> 01:33:33.319
do it at a discount. Their
theory is simple, we can do great

1188
01:33:33.399 --> 01:33:36.600
products and we don't have to mark
up each and everything, so we can

1189
01:33:36.680 --> 01:33:42.479
give people discounts and we're happy to
talk to them about prices upfront. So

1190
01:33:42.640 --> 01:33:45.079
give them a call and find out
what they can do for you. They're

1191
01:33:45.199 --> 01:33:53.479
good people and you can trust them. Discountbath dot com seven two zero nine

1194
01:34:05.359 --> 01:34:09.359
all the purchase I've made for my
home. I've said this before. It's

1195
01:34:09.439 --> 01:34:13.720
not that I don't like the other
purchases, but nothing gave me the immediate

1196
01:34:14.039 --> 01:34:19.720
payoff as Qccolorado dot com. That's
the whole house fan Quiet Cool. What

1197
01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:24.800
it does is simple. It evens
out the tempts in your home. It

1198
01:34:24.880 --> 01:34:29.840
does with this whole house fan keeping
the air moving and circulating, it destratifies

1199
01:34:29.880 --> 01:34:33.760
the air that in and of itself
with nothing else. That alone keeps your

1200
01:34:33.880 --> 01:34:40.239
air conditioner working less. But now
add to that the cool mornings and cool

1201
01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:43.760
evenings we have in Colorado. You
don't have to run your AC all day

1202
01:34:44.119 --> 01:34:45.800
and then wait for it to cool
down at night. So you see a

1203
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:48.600
lot of people, a lot of
people run it all day because they don't

1204
01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:50.840
want it to get really hot.
You don't have to worry about that with

1205
01:34:50.920 --> 01:34:54.760
a whole house fan. Turn it
off, leave the house, go to

1206
01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:57.840
work when you get back, no
matter how hot it is. In less

1207
01:34:57.960 --> 01:35:00.239
than ten minutes, it cools down
and then you air conditioner can kick on

1208
01:35:00.319 --> 01:35:03.000

eight hundred thirty four nineteen three three
eight hundred thirty four nineteen Hi Tom Martino,

1213
01:35:25.760 --> 01:35:29.560
Phil, what is your problem with
the Apple laptop that you bought?

1214
01:35:31.119 --> 01:35:40.680
Well, she's got an old Apple
laptop, our eyepad or whatever you want

1215
01:35:40.720 --> 01:35:42.920
to call them. Well, it's
either or. I mean, it's a

1216
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:45.640
laptop where it's an iPad. I
don't know what it is. Is this

1217
01:35:45.800 --> 01:35:49.760
something you just pay go ahead as
an iPad? But the screens were broken

1218
01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:54.560
because she kept dropping it and breaking
out. Okay, got it, Okay,

1219
01:35:55.239 --> 01:36:02.920
new a new Apple Pad and it
wasn't three hundred dollars. Is two

1220
01:36:03.039 --> 01:36:09.800
hundred and forty nine dollars. Anyways, it's a pod nine. I don't

1221
01:36:09.840 --> 01:36:16.119
know if you know anything about that, And it's a sixty four sl Okay,

1222
01:36:16.199 --> 01:36:20.479
you know what is your will?
What is your question about this iPad?

1223
01:36:21.600 --> 01:36:27.800
Well, I bought this for my
wife's birthday, which is today,

1224
01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:33.319
and I gave it to her and
she went in there and tried to transfer

1225
01:36:33.600 --> 01:36:41.279
from the old iPad all the information
to the new iPad. Okay, Evidently

1226
01:36:42.159 --> 01:36:46.359
it blocked her out or something she
put in the wrong password. She can't

1227
01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:54.479
think of what password it was or
anything for the old she so she doesn't

1228
01:36:54.600 --> 01:37:00.199
have her Apple ID for the old
iPad. Of course she does. She

1229
01:37:00.399 --> 01:37:04.800
did like HH or whatever it is. I don't know, Like I said,

1230
01:37:04.840 --> 01:37:09.439
I don't know anything about these computers
or films or anything like that.

1231
01:37:09.680 --> 01:37:12.520
I don't thought maybe you couldn't help. Well, let me just tell you

1232
01:37:12.640 --> 01:37:16.720
this, okay. Usually there's two
things that could be happening. It could

1233
01:37:16.800 --> 01:37:21.319
be her Apple ID, which would
help her transfer everything over from iCloud,

1234
01:37:21.960 --> 01:37:26.640
or it could be she can't even
get into it because of her PIN.

1235
01:37:27.079 --> 01:37:29.840
Do you know which one it is? Is it? Are they asking for

1236
01:37:29.960 --> 01:37:34.439
her Apple ID or are they asking
for her PIN? They're asking for her

1237
01:37:35.079 --> 01:37:39.199
code number? Right, Okay,
that's a PIN. Right. So in

1238
01:37:39.319 --> 01:37:44.880
other words, when she when she
started that old iPad. She had a

1239
01:37:44.960 --> 01:37:47.560
pin number she used right, so
when it's locked, she unlocks it right,

1240
01:37:48.880 --> 01:37:56.079
right, and she forgot what that
pin number is. Yeah, my

1241
01:37:56.279 --> 01:38:00.560
wife's kind of okay now, remembering
very well. But you can reset that

1242
01:38:01.399 --> 01:38:05.239
if she if she has her Apple, I d well, I think you

1243
01:38:05.439 --> 01:38:11.520
reset the I think you can with
an iPad reset it. But man,

1244
01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:15.880
those are really difficult. Hold on, I'll find out. But hang on,

1245
01:38:15.159 --> 01:38:19.279
we'll try to get one of my
Apple experts on. Hold on.

1246
01:38:20.199 --> 01:38:30.079
Cameo, welcome, cameo. I
remember you called me about your childcare problem.

1247
01:38:30.359 --> 01:38:35.680
Yes, and as I remember it, did you tell me that your

1248
01:38:35.960 --> 01:38:43.920
automatic withdrawal from Arapahoe County, the
Irapa County collected from the father and then

1249
01:38:43.960 --> 01:38:50.680
it would be deposited into your account. Correct? And every time I email

1250
01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:58.359
or contact Arapaho County, they they're
very rude. One lady said, I'm

1251
01:38:58.399 --> 01:39:01.000
going to hang up on this woman
and make her lose her mind. I

1252
01:39:01.159 --> 01:39:04.520
was on a recorded call and I
was still on the phone, and she's

1253
01:39:04.560 --> 01:39:08.159
like, oh, I'm really sorry
if that offended you, and I'm like,

1254
01:39:09.079 --> 01:39:12.119
yeah, that definitely offends me,
and it would offend anybody with the

1255
01:39:12.199 --> 01:39:16.600
same mind. What I want to
know is this, how many payments are

1256
01:39:16.680 --> 01:39:23.800
you missing at this point? There's
one week that I have not that I

1257
01:39:23.880 --> 01:39:30.119
didn't receive. The bank claims that
it was in my account. It definitely

1258
01:39:30.279 --> 01:39:32.439
was not in my account, or
if it was, somebody withdrew it,

1259
01:39:33.479 --> 01:39:41.319
the amount is different. I never
have gone to court a Rapahoe County refuses

1260
01:39:41.399 --> 01:39:45.439
to update my information I have received. You know, well, okay,

1261
01:39:45.840 --> 01:39:48.600
okay, that's that doesn't make sense. So let me get one thing at

1262
01:39:48.600 --> 01:39:56.319
a time. Okay. You were
getting monthly childcare payments of how much eighty

1263
01:39:56.439 --> 01:40:00.880
two dollars and fifty six cents every
week? Okay, and then those checks

1264
01:40:00.920 --> 01:40:05.199
were deposited into your account except for
one of them. Is that right?

1265
01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:14.319
Correct? Is this entire issue right
now about that one check? No,

1266
01:40:14.520 --> 01:40:20.760
it's way bigger than that. How
many checks, Well, the amount is

1267
01:40:20.880 --> 01:40:29.000
in question. I am asking hold
on, I'm asking how many checks did

1268
01:40:29.199 --> 01:40:35.680
not get deposited into your account as
at this point one I'm still waiting for

1269
01:40:35.800 --> 01:40:40.760
a check for this week. But
there's a lot of issues with the Rapahoe

1270
01:40:40.800 --> 01:40:45.199
County. I understand that I'm not
asking that right now. I want one

1271
01:40:45.279 --> 01:40:53.359
thing at a time, So you're
only missing one check for this week by

1272
01:40:56.520 --> 01:41:00.960
But okay, now, is it
reasonable to a zoom that if you received

1273
01:41:01.039 --> 01:41:04.199
all the others, you're gonna get
the one for this week, because when

1274
01:41:04.239 --> 01:41:10.920
you called me on July ninth,
it was obviously for that week. I

1275
01:41:11.000 --> 01:41:15.720
mean, so you've you've since gotten
that check. So so do you think

1276
01:41:15.800 --> 01:41:18.520
you'll get this check, the one
that you say you're missing? No?

1277
01:41:19.880 --> 01:41:25.840
So why why you called me July
ninth? Okay? You called me July

1278
01:41:26.039 --> 01:41:29.600
ninth, like three weeks ago or
two weeks whatever, and you said you

1279
01:41:29.680 --> 01:41:32.319
didn't get a check, but you've
gotten that check since then, and now

1280
01:41:32.399 --> 01:41:36.600
you're calling me about the most recent
check. Is that right? No,

1281
01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:40.520
sir, I did not get any
payment for the first week of July.

1282
01:41:41.039 --> 01:41:45.439
That payment never got Okay, So
that's this check you're still calling about,

1283
01:41:45.399 --> 01:41:53.399
yes, sir, Okay, So
right now you're calling about one check from

1284
01:41:53.520 --> 01:41:59.720
early July that you never received.
Correct, there's that, and there's also

1285
01:42:00.159 --> 01:42:03.520
there's other things in the mail from
a Rapahoe County that I was supposed to

1286
01:42:03.600 --> 01:42:09.319
receipt that I have not received,
Like what other things that you did not

1287
01:42:09.479 --> 01:42:15.119
receive? EBT food cards? So
my daughter can eat okay, and one

1288
01:42:15.199 --> 01:42:19.079
out okay, So hold on one
thing at a time. Then the one

1289
01:42:19.279 --> 01:42:25.000
check for eighty two bucks that you
never received, your bank claims you did

1290
01:42:25.119 --> 01:42:30.439
receive it. That's what the bank
said. And did the banks show you

1291
01:42:30.560 --> 01:42:34.560
where it was deposited. No,
they they told me to close my accounts.

1292
01:42:34.600 --> 01:42:43.359
That he didn't want to deal with
me anymore, cameo, Can you

1293
01:42:43.760 --> 01:42:50.000
look at your bank statement and see
where the check was deposited? Statement?

1294
01:42:50.159 --> 01:42:54.119
No, sir, I wish I
could. I'm not allowed to have access

1295
01:42:54.159 --> 01:42:59.880
to my online bank statements. I'm
not asking about online, but certainly if

1296
01:42:59.880 --> 01:43:02.439
you went into the bank, they
would have to give you a statement on

1297
01:43:02.600 --> 01:43:09.880
your account. Probably. Well,
that's what I asked you to do last

1298
01:43:09.920 --> 01:43:14.720
time I wrote this down, that
you were going to get your bank statements.

1299
01:43:17.520 --> 01:43:24.359
You see, cameo, If the
money was deposited in your bank account,

1300
01:43:26.359 --> 01:43:30.720
then it's going to be one thing. If it was never deposited in

1301
01:43:30.840 --> 01:43:35.039
your bank account, it's going to
be another thing. You're claiming that your

1302
01:43:35.199 --> 01:43:42.680
bank, you said, your bank
is claiming that they deposited that two dollars

1303
01:43:42.760 --> 01:43:46.479
check that you said you never got. They say you got it. So

1304
01:43:47.000 --> 01:43:56.119
simply ask them for the statement that
shows the deposit and then we can trace

1305
01:43:56.319 --> 01:44:00.680
where it went. That's what I'm
asking you to do. So I can't

1306
01:44:00.760 --> 01:44:05.159
do that. They won't give it
to me. Okay, so it you

1307
01:44:05.239 --> 01:44:14.079
know, sir? Have you since
closed that account? They forced you to

1308
01:44:14.640 --> 01:44:17.279
tell me? What is it that
would drive a bank to tell you to

1309
01:44:17.439 --> 01:44:20.439
leave? They don't want to do
business with you anymore? Why is that?

1310
01:44:23.359 --> 01:44:26.680
So? I asked them to print
my bank statements because I wanted to

1311
01:44:26.800 --> 01:44:31.920
see because there's issues with claiming that
that my part is being used ACROSSSS in

1312
01:44:32.079 --> 01:44:35.720
California. I said, this doesn't
make sense. I live in Colorado.

1313
01:44:36.079 --> 01:44:40.479
Why are there charges for California?
And she's like, oh no, that's

1314
01:44:40.520 --> 01:44:43.319
an accurate charge. And I was
like, but it's not because I don't

1315
01:44:43.399 --> 01:44:47.680
live in California. Okay, So
cameo, how much was charged in California?

1316
01:44:48.880 --> 01:44:51.960
Bob, I don't know. I
sprinkled all the charges. This is

1317
01:44:53.039 --> 01:44:56.439
the thing I see what I want
to sit down with the lawyer because there's

1318
01:44:56.600 --> 01:44:59.800
a lot of fraudulent things that happened. When I went to the bank,

1319
01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:01.239
I talked to us about well,
hold on a second, hold on,

1320
01:45:01.720 --> 01:45:10.319
you're saying that someone got access to
your card for my card, my bank

1321
01:45:10.479 --> 01:45:15.319
something I'm not lying about about minus
much. That doesn't make any sense.

1322
01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:17.840
Well, you said you were missing
one check, so if you count those

1323
01:45:18.000 --> 01:45:21.920
charges, how much? How many
illegal charges were made on your account?

1324
01:45:24.079 --> 01:45:29.680
Quite a jew? I'm looking for
I kind of my big Well, why

1325
01:45:29.720 --> 01:45:31.800
didn't you send me this stuff when
you sent me the email? You didn't

1326
01:45:31.840 --> 01:45:39.359
send me anything that shows these fraudulent
charges. No, she's nobody asked me

1327
01:45:40.239 --> 01:45:44.439
any copies of any of this or
I definitely would nothing. Okay, Look,

1328
01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:50.119
this is you know, we might
need someone to call Deputy Dollar.

1329
01:45:50.319 --> 01:45:56.720
We might need you know, Kitschina, We need Deputy Dollar to do a

1330
01:45:56.800 --> 01:46:03.119
conference call with her in her bank
and simply ask simply ask for copies of

1331
01:46:03.279 --> 01:46:13.079
her statements. She's claiming there were
several illegal and unauthorized withdrawals, but she's

1332
01:46:13.199 --> 01:46:17.000
not showing us that. She's just
saying it happened. She can't even tell

1333
01:46:17.079 --> 01:46:20.960
me how many. So so cameo, what are you looking at when you're

1334
01:46:21.039 --> 01:46:30.319
telling me there were unauthorized charges?
What are you looking at? No?

1335
01:46:30.720 --> 01:46:34.960
I'm asking you what gave you the
first idea that these charges were made to

1336
01:46:35.039 --> 01:46:48.319
begin with Okay, I'm hearing I
can't. I can't. We can't communicate,

1337
01:46:48.439 --> 01:46:51.800
so I need dollar to call her. Here's what I know. What

1338
01:46:51.920 --> 01:47:00.560
she's saying that somehow her child support
directly deposited into her account has been accessed.

1339
01:47:01.239 --> 01:47:06.640
She has no record of that whatsoever
except of when she looked at it

1340
01:47:06.760 --> 01:47:12.520
one time and then they took away
her access. Now, come on,

1341
01:47:13.600 --> 01:47:16.840
even with a closed account, they
should be able to give us a complete

1342
01:47:16.920 --> 01:47:23.640
written statement of her account and then
we can go through it and find out

1343
01:47:23.840 --> 01:47:30.079
which charges she claims or which which
withdrawals she claims she never made. But

1344
01:47:30.279 --> 01:47:35.640
without that, we have nothing,
and I don't know of any bank that

1345
01:47:35.800 --> 01:47:43.039
would refuse to give you copies of
your statement. So hold on three OHO

Hi Tom Martino here three oh three seven

1384
01:51:12.760 --> 01:51:16.119
one three talk three oh three seven
one three eight two five five. Hey

1385
01:51:16.199 --> 01:51:20.520
Bonnie, you have an iPad,
an old one, and you have a

1386
01:51:20.560 --> 01:51:24.800
new one, and you want to
transfer data from the old one to the

1387
01:51:24.880 --> 01:51:30.159
new one. Is that right?
But you but you can't open the old

1388
01:51:30.239 --> 01:51:33.399
one because you forgot your key,
your pass code. No, I got

1389
01:51:33.479 --> 01:51:40.039
my old one going, but I
can't get my new one going. Oh

1390
01:51:40.600 --> 01:51:44.560
wait a minute, why can't you
get the new one going? I have

1391
01:51:44.720 --> 01:51:48.079
no idea. Oh I thought Phil
said you could not get the data from

1392
01:51:48.119 --> 01:51:51.399
your old one onto your new one. So when you turn on your to

1393
01:51:51.560 --> 01:51:55.199
I want to take the data.
I get it old one, Yeah,

1394
01:51:55.399 --> 01:51:59.840
I get it now. The best
way to do that, Bonnie, would

1395
01:51:59.840 --> 01:52:03.600
be to take the data from that
old one and load it onto iCloud so

1396
01:52:03.720 --> 01:52:08.399
it's always there, and then you
take it from eye cloud and put it

1397
01:52:08.479 --> 01:52:12.840
on your new iPad. But when
you say you can't get when you say

1398
01:52:12.920 --> 01:52:16.239
you can't get your iPad going,
what do you mean when does it turn

1399
01:52:16.359 --> 01:52:23.039
on? Yeah, it don't turn
on, but the newer GISs hello?

1400
01:52:23.279 --> 01:52:27.359
And then that's all I can get
on it. Okay, it says a

1401
01:52:27.439 --> 01:52:30.800
hello, old one, the old
one. She doesn't have internet. We

1402
01:52:30.960 --> 01:52:40.079
have Century Length and we're canceling them
and going to Affinity on Friday. And

1403
01:52:40.399 --> 01:52:43.359
I don't know if that's going to
make a difference or not. When you

1404
01:52:43.439 --> 01:52:45.159
say you don't have internet, what
do you mean? It's a Wi Fi

1405
01:52:45.439 --> 01:52:51.319
unit And all you have to do
is sign into the internet. See,

1406
01:52:53.159 --> 01:52:58.399
you have to sign into your Internet
like you do with anything, like you

1407
01:52:58.479 --> 01:53:01.119
do with a computer, you do
with your phone. But once you sign

1408
01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:04.039
on, you're there. But Bonnie, if you can hang on, I

1409
01:53:04.399 --> 01:53:13.159
mean, I don't I think you're
with the iPad. There's a continue arrow

1410
01:53:13.760 --> 01:53:16.880
where it says hello, and you
just clicked that button. Hit that button.

1411
01:53:17.560 --> 01:53:19.840
Hold on and I'll see if I
can walk you through some of it

1412
01:53:28.399 --> 01:53:36.239
ripped up. Need advice, so
you don't have come running, Just as

here, Welcome to the show. We

1415
01:53:49.239 --> 01:53:53.840
are here to help you solve problems, answer questions, take complaints, make

1416
01:53:53.880 --> 01:53:56.960
your life a little easier. There's
how brought to you by Compass Insurance Group,

1417

home of the free insurance checkups three
oh three six nine nine six nine

1418
01:54:02.199 --> 01:54:06.680
thousand. So anyway, on Apple
products, let me just explain this to

1419
01:54:06.720 --> 01:54:14.680
you. Apple products have a number
of ways of storing data. You can

1420
01:54:14.760 --> 01:54:18.439
store it locally on the iPad itself
or the laptop or whatever, Okay,

1421
01:54:18.520 --> 01:54:25.840
locally on the unit, or you
can store it on the unit end in

1422
01:54:25.960 --> 01:54:32.159
the iCloud in the cloud, and
then that account can sync all of that

1423
01:54:32.399 --> 01:54:36.840
data to all of your devices.
So let's just take something simple like pictures.

1424
01:54:38.640 --> 01:54:41.439
Let's say you have pictures picks,
right, so you have them on

1425
01:54:41.560 --> 01:54:45.520
your phone, They go to the
eicloud, they come down to your laptop,

1426
01:54:45.399 --> 01:54:48.359
they go back up to the cloud, and go back down to your

1427
01:54:48.520 --> 01:54:55.399
iPad. Everything is synced. So
all of your Apple devices talk to the

1428
01:54:55.479 --> 01:55:01.359
cloud and they can sync your data, contacts, messages, pictures, everything.

1429
01:55:02.199 --> 01:55:05.720
Now, another way to do it
is just on the unit itself.

1430
01:55:06.720 --> 01:55:12.760
And if it's just on the unit
itself, that proses a problem if you

1431
01:55:12.960 --> 01:55:17.000
can't get in to the unit.
Now, remember if you lost your pin

1432
01:55:17.399 --> 01:55:25.319
your passcode to get into your iPad. If you did, you can't get

1433
01:55:25.359 --> 01:55:29.680
into it to get your data,
and since your data is not on the

1434
01:55:29.800 --> 01:55:32.079
cloud, you can't put it on
any other device. Now, if it

1435
01:55:32.199 --> 01:55:36.680
was on the cloud, it wouldn't
matter if you could get into any particular

1436
01:55:38.199 --> 01:55:43.079
device because it's still in the cloud. Now, let's talk about another problem.

1437
01:55:43.239 --> 01:55:45.439
And I think this is a very
simple one. That's what I thought

1438
01:55:45.520 --> 01:55:50.520
Bonnie was calling about. But Bonnie
basically has a new iPad her husband bought

1439
01:55:50.520 --> 01:55:55.359
her for her birthday, and she
wants to take the old stuff from her

1440
01:55:55.399 --> 01:55:58.000
old iPad and put it on her
new one. And she can do that,

1441
01:55:58.600 --> 01:56:02.479
but she says she can't get her
new one going. Well, Bonnie,

1442
01:56:02.920 --> 01:56:06.439
you say that when you turn on
the new one, all you see

1443
01:56:08.600 --> 01:56:11.479
it says hello to you, right, It like writes out hello? Is

1444
01:56:11.560 --> 01:56:15.359
that right? Yeah? Okay,
Well, let me tell you that,

1445
01:56:15.000 --> 01:56:20.279
depending on the model that you have
the new one, when it says hello,

1446
01:56:20.960 --> 01:56:27.840
there's either a home button you have
to press, or there's a circle

1447
01:56:27.960 --> 01:56:31.319
with a little arrow in it at
the bottom of the screen and you press

1448
01:56:31.359 --> 01:56:34.800
it and goes to next. What
that's doing is setting up it's going to

1449
01:56:34.880 --> 01:56:39.399
ask you what country you're in,
what language you want, and all of

1450
01:56:39.479 --> 01:56:44.119
that. So that's when you say
you can't get your new one going.

1451
01:56:44.880 --> 01:56:48.159
I'm sure it's something that simple.
And if you can't figure that out,

1452
01:56:48.399 --> 01:56:55.680
it might be hoove you to just
get an appointment at the Genius Bar and

1453
01:56:55.760 --> 01:56:59.760
they'll help you set it up and
transfer your data. They're really good at

1454
01:56:59.800 --> 01:57:05.359
that. In the meantime, Tom, I appreciate all your help, sure,

1455
01:57:05.800 --> 01:57:11.119
but I think that she would feel
a lot better if everybody in the

1456
01:57:11.920 --> 01:57:16.000
in the radio station would sing a
happy birthday to her, and then she'd

1457
01:57:16.079 --> 01:57:23.640
leave me alone. Thank you.
Okay, Well, who's going to sing

1458
01:57:23.760 --> 01:57:30.840
happy birthday, Kachina? Well,
wouldn't that be you? Well, I

1459
01:57:30.000 --> 01:57:36.439
need music. We can't sing that
song, Oh, because it's copyrighted.

1460
01:57:36.640 --> 01:57:42.039
Conrect you, liar, liar,
pants on fire? Not really, would

1461
01:57:42.079 --> 01:57:46.880
we be blocked out for doing that? The answer is yes. Oh man,

1462
01:57:47.359 --> 01:57:50.359
hey, Phil, no fool,
and we're not allowed now. Even

1463
01:57:50.439 --> 01:57:55.119
if we sang it ourselves right,
we can't do it right. Correct.

1464
01:57:56.199 --> 01:58:00.279
It's a protected song, Phil,
That's why you know. That's why in

1465
01:58:00.439 --> 01:58:04.760
restaurants and stuff they sing happy,
happy, Happy, happy birthday, birthday,

1466
01:58:04.840 --> 01:58:09.439
or they sing first she is a
jolly good fellow or whatever, but

1467
01:58:10.279 --> 01:58:15.439
we will say happy. How about
just saying it. Yeah, happy,

1468
01:58:15.600 --> 01:58:19.760
happy birthday, Bonnie. How old
is Bonnie? Tell it Bonnie, Monni?

1469
01:58:20.079 --> 01:58:24.159
Tell Tom how long we been married? And how old were you when

1470
01:58:24.239 --> 01:58:27.000
we got married? Kill them?
Yeah? How long you've been married?

1471
01:58:27.159 --> 01:58:30.359
He was eighteen. I don't know
what I was doing. He was eighteen?

1472
01:58:30.520 --> 01:58:35.880
And how old were you? Seventeen? And how long you've been married?

1473
01:58:36.880 --> 01:58:44.399
Fifty seven years? Wow? That
is wonderful, hey man, No,

1474
01:58:44.560 --> 01:58:47.640
no, no, that's really cool. You've been married fifty seven years.

1475
01:58:48.359 --> 01:58:53.960
Holy crap. You know what it
is? Your whole life electic?

1476
01:58:54.600 --> 01:58:58.239
Hey, Tom, I was in
the electronic business, and I remember talking

1477
01:58:58.239 --> 01:59:00.600
to you. You are you always
say were you in the radio? Of

1478
01:59:00.680 --> 01:59:04.520
course I was in the radio.
I was in electronics. I fixed radios,

1479
01:59:04.600 --> 01:59:13.560
I fixed TVs. Everything I know
Frit Schmidt and and and pistols were

1480
01:59:13.800 --> 01:59:15.880
I remember you? I remember you, Phil, And I'm so happy we

1481
01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:19.359
heard from Bonnie. It would be
really better if your name was Clyde.

1482
01:59:19.439 --> 01:59:24.640
Then it would have been Bonnie and
Clyde. But it's okay, yes Bonnie,

1483
01:59:24.680 --> 01:59:29.560
and yes, yeah Bonnie and Clyde. I listen. That is cool.

1484
01:59:30.000 --> 01:59:34.520
So but really, on a serious
note, though, a happy anniversary

1485
01:59:34.600 --> 01:59:40.000
whenever it is. That's a wonderful
thing that you guys have stayed married and

1486
01:59:40.119 --> 01:59:43.800
you love each other, and he
bought you a brand new Uh, that's

1487
01:59:43.920 --> 01:59:50.159
nice that he brought you a brand
new whatever? Can you iPad? Can

1488
01:59:50.239 --> 01:59:55.159
you believe it? Paid one hundred
and forty two hundred and forty nine dollars

1489
01:59:55.199 --> 01:59:59.359
for that? No, that's a
good deal. Probably an older generation,

1490
01:59:59.520 --> 02:00:02.840
but hell, that's all that you
need. I like you're a good guy.

1491
02:00:03.000 --> 02:00:08.960
Good guy. That's wonderful anyway,
So congratulations to both of you.

1492
02:00:09.079 --> 02:00:13.159
Thanks for calling me. Three oh
three seven one three talks seven one three

1493
02:00:13.279 --> 02:00:16.920
eight two five five. I want
to talk to Jordan Caiano again. We

1494
02:00:17.079 --> 02:00:23.880
had some questions come up and we
talked about annuities and stuff, and people

1495
02:00:23.960 --> 02:00:27.960
ask how much does it cost?
Then I got another question on facts a

1496
02:00:28.079 --> 02:00:30.600
text here. I don't know why
the hell I keep saying text? Let

1497
02:00:30.680 --> 02:00:34.479
me see where is it? Okay? Where is it? Dog on it?

1498
02:00:35.039 --> 02:00:40.560
It's about it's about expenses, Okay, your your dad said, and

1499
02:00:40.880 --> 02:00:44.560
I misquoted your dad's said, is
one tenth of one percent? I said,

1500
02:00:44.640 --> 02:00:47.199
So if a couple had five hundred
thousand squirreled away, it'd be five

1501
02:00:47.279 --> 02:00:50.439
thousand. It wouldn't be. It's
only five hundred dollars a year. I

1502
02:00:50.479 --> 02:00:55.479
mean, that's incredible. That's that's
one tenth of one percent. Are those

1503
02:00:55.800 --> 02:01:00.760
all the fees or are there commissions
on top of that? Those are all

1504
02:01:00.800 --> 02:01:04.479
the fees. The only additional fee
that it could potentially be would be some

1505
02:01:04.640 --> 02:01:09.159
of the allocation options, some of
the choices. Some of the videos might

1506
02:01:09.319 --> 02:01:13.640
like we personal advise these, but
there's some additional allocation choices where you can

1507
02:01:13.720 --> 02:01:16.439
park the money and how it's invested. Those could have additional fees like one

1508
02:01:16.479 --> 02:01:19.800
percent. Now, what do you
mean? Would give me an idea like

1509
02:01:19.880 --> 02:01:24.640
an ETF fund or something? No, not for se like usually like most

1510
02:01:24.640 --> 02:01:28.359
of the accounts have like maybe ten
to twenty different ways that you can choose

1511
02:01:28.399 --> 02:01:30.920
how the money could grow in the
market. So like one could be the

1512
02:01:30.039 --> 02:01:34.600
S and P five hundred that's usually
one or gold bouyon. Okay, But

1513
02:01:34.720 --> 02:01:42.399
do those investment accounts carry their own
expenses? Some may not all of them.

1514
02:01:42.560 --> 02:01:46.119
Some have additional kind of limits that
you could reach, like different higher

1515
02:01:46.239 --> 02:01:49.479
caps, or some have maybe with
black rock because they like then there could

1516
02:01:49.479 --> 02:01:53.479
be additional fees on some particular ones
that they might want to invest in.

1517
02:01:53.840 --> 02:01:56.439
But we help all of our funds. We sit down with them every go

1518
02:01:56.560 --> 02:01:59.840
to show them those which ones that
we prefer that are non feed based ones,

1519
02:02:00.159 --> 02:02:02.199
and some that might be a little
bit higher if they really want to

1520
02:02:02.199 --> 02:02:05.720
go that route. But no matter
what, brow your money. But no

1521
02:02:05.880 --> 02:02:10.520
matter what, when you have this
lump sum of money in an annuity.

1522
02:02:10.600 --> 02:02:14.319
Okay, let's say you have the
lump sum in an annuity, it's growing

1523
02:02:14.520 --> 02:02:18.119
at either a guaranteed rate or a
participation rate, whichever's higher. Right,

1524
02:02:19.399 --> 02:02:21.520
Yeah, So to make it the
easiest way, I always say, there's

1525
02:02:21.560 --> 02:02:25.359
a left side. On the right
side. The left side of the five

1526
02:02:25.439 --> 02:02:29.520
hundred grows based off those allocations with
the S and P five hundred Blackbrock hell

1527
02:02:29.560 --> 02:02:31.399
have you to look at it,
dow Jones. On the right side is

1528
02:02:31.479 --> 02:02:35.319
just what you're talking about. Grows
at a guaranteed rate no matter what holiday.

1529
02:02:35.319 --> 02:02:38.000
And then what does it do at
the end of the year. It

1530
02:02:38.079 --> 02:02:43.000
takes the higher one once the client
which decides to take them on nothing,

1531
02:02:43.319 --> 02:02:45.680
which everyone is the highest of the
two ones. They just find Oh,

1532
02:02:45.479 --> 02:02:50.720
so these two are accumulating the life
of the annuity. Correct, You got

1533
02:02:50.800 --> 02:02:54.479
it. So no matter what I
always say, worst case scenario is the

1534
02:02:54.560 --> 02:02:57.520
right side of the B account be
that just always grows steady at y,

1535
02:02:57.600 --> 02:03:01.039
no risk to go up or down
or up in sideways. Whereas the market

1536
02:03:01.119 --> 02:03:04.039
side they can up for the lost
could ever get to be a zero in

1537
02:03:04.079 --> 02:03:08.399
a year. So at the end, but if it gets zero, then

1538
02:03:08.479 --> 02:03:12.479
it goes to the guarantee. Nope, if it gets zero, then it's

1539
02:03:12.520 --> 02:03:15.439
just kind of flatline for that account
a side. So h but I understand

1540
02:03:15.520 --> 02:03:18.960
that for that side. But at
the end, when you start taking income,

1541
02:03:19.039 --> 02:03:24.359
the account value is whichever one is
higher, correct, that's the right

1542
02:03:24.359 --> 02:03:26.640
I would say. If then whichever
is the highest of two, which I

1543
02:03:26.760 --> 02:03:29.439
want to lends the race, So
whatever, that's right, that's a good

1544
02:03:29.479 --> 02:03:32.239
way of putting in whichever one wins
the race. So you are tracking the

1545
02:03:32.359 --> 02:03:40.000
account with two basically indexes. One
is a guarantee and one is a participation

1546
02:03:40.359 --> 02:03:44.399
in the market. Correct. There
you go, yep, And and that's

1547
02:03:44.640 --> 02:03:46.239
when they decide to put that switch
on which everyone's higher on the tape.

1548
02:03:46.399 --> 02:03:49.960
You know normally what it turns out
to be. Is it usually the market

1549
02:03:50.039 --> 02:03:56.000
participation or is it usually the guarantee? Typically I'll say, as of right

1550
02:03:56.119 --> 02:04:00.319
now, I would say the guaranteed
sides and winning pretty high price. Last

1551
02:04:00.560 --> 02:04:03.520
I don't make ten fifteen years because
look at it this way, it starts

1552
02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:08.439
depending on somebody's age. I mean, I run fifty five is when it

1553
02:04:08.520 --> 02:04:11.159
kind of really allows to start fifty
fifty five, So that's about three and

1554
02:04:11.199 --> 02:04:15.159
a half percent, and every five
years it steps up half a percent.

1555
02:04:15.439 --> 02:04:17.920
So as like in their sixty sixty
five, you're going to have five six

1556
02:04:18.000 --> 02:04:21.520
percent guaranteed every year. So at
the end, I mean, there's no

1557
02:04:21.760 --> 02:04:26.159
zero years if you will, there's
no flatline years, whereas the market side

1558
02:04:26.600 --> 02:04:30.279
you can get some stellar twenty percent
thirty percent returns, but can also get

1559
02:04:30.399 --> 02:04:32.680
zero for a few years because the
market crash. So I will say the

1560
02:04:32.800 --> 02:04:36.760
guaranteed side, as of late,
we've seen at that side page. Although

1561
02:04:36.800 --> 02:04:40.840
I'll tell you what, Jordan,
I don't know if I'm disagreeing, but

1562
02:04:41.279 --> 02:04:44.479
the S and P has done phenomenal
over the last five years. Oh I

1563
02:04:44.560 --> 02:04:46.880
know, I know. The nice
thing is they get the best of both

1564
02:04:46.960 --> 02:04:51.079
worlds, because no, you're right, yeah, and then and then the

1565
02:04:51.199 --> 02:04:57.880
bumper, the fifteen percent bonus that
you get is that growing at the same

1566
02:04:58.039 --> 02:05:00.680
rate on top of your principle.
Correct, you got it. Yep,

1567
02:05:00.760 --> 02:05:05.079
So that's that's growing in addition to
the five hundred thousand, Like you said,

1568
02:05:05.119 --> 02:05:10.000
there you'd have a okay, so, and that's actually your money.

1569
02:05:11.359 --> 02:05:14.720
You got it every year, you
know, truly growing in there. It's

1570
02:05:14.840 --> 02:05:16.960
there. Now they have what they
call like a ten year window where the

1571
02:05:17.039 --> 02:05:21.399
company doesn't want you to jump ship
and go collect another bulley. So yeah,

1572
02:05:21.439 --> 02:05:26.600
you can't take your fifteen percent and
say in a month goodbye. Right,

1573
02:05:26.800 --> 02:05:29.079
you're right, I'd be out of
business. I'd be doing the same

1574
02:05:29.119 --> 02:05:31.399
thing, right, I mean s
Tahiti right doing that. But but to

1575
02:05:31.479 --> 02:05:34.119
your point, yes, it is
your money. If you passed away,

1576
02:05:34.279 --> 02:05:38.279
the money goes to your client or
your loved ones. Actual they've been fisheries.

1577
02:05:38.640 --> 02:05:41.279
But it is factory in the growth. It's factory in the accumulation,

1578
02:05:41.600 --> 02:05:45.279
which is very different than someone who
did out there, and it's also factored

1579
02:05:45.319 --> 02:05:49.000
into your income. Right, you
got it. So all they ask with

1580
02:05:49.199 --> 02:05:54.359
the with the bonus is that you
stay in a certain amount of time in

1581
02:05:54.560 --> 02:05:59.319
order for it to be fully vested. Correct. And again that's their way

1582
02:05:59.399 --> 02:06:00.920
of just like a jump in shit
for another company. But no, I

1583
02:06:01.000 --> 02:06:05.760
get it. It's an incentive.
It's an incentive. Yeah, okay,

1584
02:06:05.920 --> 02:06:09.199
he stopped in five years, you
get the fifty percent of that, so

1585
02:06:09.319 --> 02:06:11.840
and so forth. All right,
we got more coming up. Three oh

1586
02:06:11.920 --> 02:06:15.039
three seven, one, three eight, two five five. John Fuller is

1587
02:06:15.079 --> 02:06:18.199
my personal injury expert, my accident
lawyer dot co. Now we use them

1588
02:06:18.239 --> 02:06:21.840
on the show all the time because
people calls have been injured. I need

1589
02:06:21.920 --> 02:06:26.039
to know what to do, what's
my next step? How do I not

1590
02:06:26.239 --> 02:06:30.159
step on myself? How do I
not ruin my case? And John is

1591
02:06:30.319 --> 02:06:33.640
used to answering these questions because he
does it for clients all the time.

1592
02:06:34.119 --> 02:06:38.920
People call him and John, you
know, no matter how we look at

1593
02:06:38.960 --> 02:06:43.520
it, people want to get paid
for their injuries. That is the system

1594
02:06:43.680 --> 02:06:47.239
of justice we have in this country. If someone injures you, they pay

1595
02:06:47.760 --> 02:06:53.439
for your injuries. So the natural
question has to be how much is my

1596
02:06:53.560 --> 02:06:57.039
case worth? People want to know? Is there a way of knowing?

1597
02:06:57.159 --> 02:07:00.399
John? If they call you,
you know, we can get pretty close

1598
02:07:00.439 --> 02:07:03.439
there, Tom. If I know
about the injuries, I know about the

1599
02:07:03.640 --> 02:07:08.960
insurance that the other side has,
and I have some idea of whether there's

1600
02:07:09.000 --> 02:07:12.479
going to be any issues with liability, we can get pretty darn close.

1601
02:07:12.880 --> 02:07:16.720
But sometimes we're wrong on the low
side. Sometimes we're able to discover additional

1602
02:07:16.800 --> 02:07:24.680
policies and additional coverage that can sometimes
double triple or even quadruple our estimates because

1603
02:07:24.760 --> 02:07:28.960
we found additional coverage. So the
only safe way to find out is to

1604
02:07:29.039 --> 02:07:32.039
let us jump in with both feet
and give it our best shot to get

1605
02:07:32.079 --> 02:07:38.479
the maximum recovery for you. And
that's something that tends to get sharper and

1606
02:07:38.560 --> 02:07:42.840
sharper as the case goes on.
And John, the good part is that

1607
02:07:43.079 --> 02:07:45.119
it doesn't cost anything for people to
call you to find this out. I

1608
02:07:45.199 --> 02:07:47.800
mean, you don't even make them
sign up to find out. You just

1609
02:07:47.840 --> 02:07:53.279
give them your honest to goodness impression. Yeah. I mean that's the way

1610
02:07:53.359 --> 02:07:57.960
we do business. And we want
to make our clients and potential clients feel

1611
02:07:58.000 --> 02:08:01.640
comfortable that we know what we're talking
about and we you know, we're easy

1612
02:08:01.680 --> 02:08:05.239
to get along with. We're going
to provide the necessary attention to to you

1613
02:08:05.359 --> 02:08:09.560
know, to focus on their case. Unlike some of these other firms that

1614
02:08:09.680 --> 02:08:13.439
have you know, a band or
twelve hundred clients, we don't. We're

1615
02:08:13.479 --> 02:08:16.840
able to focus on our cases and
when we you know, when we sit

1616
02:08:16.920 --> 02:08:20.359
down and have those intake discussions,

1634
02:09:54.960 --> 02:10:01.319
Australians think? Did we talk about
Australians at all? Did anyone talk about

1635
02:10:01.359 --> 02:10:03.399
Australians. This is for me,
It's not for anybody else on the station.

1636
02:10:03.560 --> 02:10:09.199
It says do Australians, it says
Tom. Do Australians think Americans live

1637
02:10:09.239 --> 02:10:15.680
in the past or do Americans think
Australians live in the future. I'm going

1638
02:10:15.760 --> 02:10:20.920
to tell you what Americans think who've
been there. Australians live in the past.

1639
02:10:20.600 --> 02:10:26.880
That's a very, very very They're
way behind us, don't you think?

1640
02:10:26.960 --> 02:10:31.159
In everything Australia. I mean most
countries are behind us. If you

1641
02:10:31.239 --> 02:10:35.119
ever go into a country where you
feel they're more advanced than us ever in

1642
02:10:35.239 --> 02:10:41.560
anything, technology, society, I
don't know. I can't think of any

1643
02:10:43.000 --> 02:10:46.279
really. I mean, there's one
thing you got to say about the melting

1644
02:10:46.359 --> 02:10:50.199
pot here. We really took the
best of all cultures. I mean we

1645
02:10:50.319 --> 02:10:54.239
really have. I mean, are
we still proud of America or not.

1646
02:10:54.439 --> 02:10:58.960
I mean I am. When I
say proud, I don't mean you know,

1647
02:10:58.079 --> 02:11:01.840
like proud We're going to be everyone's
ass. I'm talking about it's a

1648
02:11:01.920 --> 02:11:05.319
good mixture. I mean, I
I like the diversity and all of that.

1649
02:11:05.479 --> 02:11:11.359
I like the culture's melding, and
I like the uh, the advancements

1650
02:11:11.479 --> 02:11:16.039
we have. I think we're way
advanced, way advanced, unless I'm missing

1651
02:11:16.119 --> 02:11:20.840
something. Let's see, maybe you
know Swiss watches. I mean, you

1652
02:11:20.920 --> 02:11:24.680
know, I'm not kidding, like
like what country can do anything truly better

1653
02:11:24.760 --> 02:11:28.760
than us? Now? Now I'm
not talking about you know, the fight

1654
02:11:30.000 --> 02:11:33.319
like wine making or you know,
or or foods or certain dishes. I'm

1655
02:11:33.319 --> 02:11:41.760
talking about technology, vehicles, data, what else. I think. I

1656
02:11:41.079 --> 02:11:46.359
think my husband would have an argument
to pick with you because on what tomorrow,

1657
02:11:48.079 --> 02:11:52.319
he would sincerely move to Japan for
what what what? For everything?

1658
02:11:52.680 --> 02:11:56.640
He loves it. He loves the
transportation. You know, you know,

1659
02:11:56.760 --> 02:12:03.720
friends pretty pretty advanced. But but
the transportation system just getting around in the

1660
02:12:03.800 --> 02:12:13.319
different trains and it's all clean.
Everybody is very nice and they very they

1661
02:12:13.439 --> 02:12:16.840
kind of go at a cadence that's
not like us, where we don't I

1662
02:12:16.920 --> 02:12:20.720
know, I haven't been there,
but I've talked to people. It's amazing.

1663
02:12:20.159 --> 02:12:22.359
I mean from what he's told me, I've never been there, but

1664
02:12:22.840 --> 02:12:28.000
he loves it. He would literally
go move there tomorrow, he would yep.

1665
02:12:28.760 --> 02:12:35.439
Now, I was told that they're
polite, but almost polite in an

1666
02:12:35.479 --> 02:12:41.439
impolite way, like they're putting up
with you. Well, there's a language

1667
02:12:41.479 --> 02:12:46.399
barrier there for not just a language
barrier, but like Americans, they put

1668
02:12:46.520 --> 02:12:48.239
up with you and they're polite to
you, but they'd rather not have you

1669
02:12:48.359 --> 02:12:52.760
around. But even though they don't
actually say that, I don't think that's

1670
02:12:52.840 --> 02:12:58.520
true about the Japanese people because from
what my husband has described, so when

1671
02:12:58.560 --> 02:13:03.800
you go off of a train,
there isn't this whole pushing and shoving and

1672
02:13:03.000 --> 02:13:05.560
okay, I got to get,
you know, ahead of you, and

1673
02:13:05.760 --> 02:13:07.960
I have, you know, because
if you go to the airport, you

1674
02:13:09.079 --> 02:13:13.840
get off the train at DA,
it's like pushing and shoving, and in

1675
02:13:13.039 --> 02:13:20.079
Japan appear, I know, everybody
just files out in a very orderly fashion

1676
02:13:20.079 --> 02:13:24.840
and everyone is polite about it and
they wait their turn, and you know,

1677
02:13:26.000 --> 02:13:28.279
there's not a whole lot of you
know, I have to get here

1678
02:13:28.399 --> 02:13:31.880
before you kind of thing. No
I know. Yeah. Yeah. Now,

1679
02:13:31.960 --> 02:13:35.800
by the way, speaking of places
to live other than the US,

1680
02:13:35.840 --> 02:13:41.880
I have had I actually just recently
had this discussion with some friends of mine.

1681
02:13:43.359 --> 02:13:46.479
Now we went to dinner, but
then before that, I had other

1682
02:13:46.600 --> 02:13:50.680
discussions on where people would most likely
live or where they like to live.

1683
02:13:52.399 --> 02:14:01.520
And there are a ton of Americans
who love Costa Rica. They say that's

1684
02:14:01.560 --> 02:14:05.079
a wonderful place to live. And
there are a lot of Americans now moving

1685
02:14:05.199 --> 02:14:09.399
to Mexico remote parts I'm not talking
about, you know, like the tourist

1686
02:14:09.479 --> 02:14:16.880
attractions. And uh, then Croatia
was one that came up. Thailand came

1687
02:14:16.000 --> 02:14:22.199
up. Where Americans would go and
live where they love living. Oh,

1688
02:14:22.279 --> 02:14:24.680
Puerto Rico, although that's kind of
America, isn't it. But it's not.

1689
02:14:26.239 --> 02:14:30.479
But but I don't know. If
I had to pick a spot,

1690
02:14:31.520 --> 02:14:37.920
I really don't know what it would
be other than America. But your husband

1691
02:14:37.920 --> 02:14:41.119
would go to Japan. Huh wow, Hey, Jordan, where would you

1692
02:14:41.239 --> 02:14:46.239
go if you had to live outside
the US or not? Hadst is like

1693
02:14:46.359 --> 02:14:50.439
Japan quite a bit, But Mexico
you're asilarly that's something I've been hearing.

1694
02:14:50.479 --> 02:14:56.159
Oh well, yeah, well you
have roots in Mexico. You know your

1695
02:14:56.319 --> 02:15:01.279
your dad grew up there, and
you know he grew upward in Mexico City,

1696
02:15:01.319 --> 02:15:05.640
one of the biggest cities world.
Yeah. And then honestly, uh,

1697
02:15:05.800 --> 02:15:07.760
you know as goofy and sounds,
I'm the only one, one of

1698
02:15:07.800 --> 02:15:11.399
the few in the family don't speak
Spanish. To that, that was really

1699
02:15:13.079 --> 02:15:16.479
how did you grow up without speaking
Spanish? With Joe? Wow? I

1700
02:15:18.000 --> 02:15:20.239
know, I my my grandmother.
Unfortunately, his mother had passed and and

1701
02:15:20.399 --> 02:15:24.039
everybody stops sick of Spanish. Where
they got to my sister and myself,

1702
02:15:24.119 --> 02:15:26.960
and so I took five years in
Spanish. Have you have you been to

1703
02:15:28.079 --> 02:15:30.920
his home? Have you been to
where he grew up? Did he show

1704
02:15:30.960 --> 02:15:33.239
you so? Yes? I had, Yeah, I got been there a

1705
02:15:33.279 --> 02:15:37.600
few times, especially when I was
younger. Our our family that had lived

1706
02:15:37.600 --> 02:15:41.000
in there, don't live there anymore
unfortunately. But but I would say Mexico,

1707
02:15:41.000 --> 02:15:41.640
I wouldn't tell you live in the
city. I'd visit it, but

1708
02:15:41.680 --> 02:15:45.760
I would go on the outskirts for
the desplatories that you're talking about, like

1709
02:15:46.039 --> 02:15:50.800
cobblestone churches, you know, the
beautiful of water. Yeah, yeah,

1710
02:15:50.920 --> 02:15:56.359
yeah, So so can you explain, Jordan? I thought I did a

1711
02:15:56.439 --> 02:16:00.279
good job of doing it, but
maybe I didn't because someone just tech and

1712
02:16:00.399 --> 02:16:03.960
wants to know. You said,
there's a guaranteed account, guaranteed return,

1713
02:16:05.079 --> 02:16:09.680
and then there's the index returns you
can get and then they compare and you

1714
02:16:09.840 --> 02:16:13.199
get the higher of the two.
But so you never go to zero or

1715
02:16:13.319 --> 02:16:18.720
lower than zero ever. But I'd
like to know someone wants to you to

1716
02:16:18.840 --> 02:16:24.199
explain the participation rate on the index. Okay, so I thought I explained

1717
02:16:24.199 --> 02:16:28.000
it, but why don't you do
it? Yeah, the participation is a

1718
02:16:28.079 --> 02:16:31.200
great term to be looking at on
these the best way to look at it.

1719
02:16:31.239 --> 02:16:33.200
And if I can just kind of
give you an example. If you

1720
02:16:33.280 --> 02:16:37.760
look at like a four to one
k regular four one k, you're typically

1721
02:16:37.799 --> 02:16:41.520
participating in one hundred percent and that
so if you have one hundred thousand,

1722
02:16:41.799 --> 02:16:43.079
you get a ten percent return.
You know the math that you get ten

1723
02:16:43.120 --> 02:16:48.600
thousand dollars eating numbers right. Well, participation with these products, a lot

1724
02:16:48.680 --> 02:16:52.719
of them have higher participation, and
there are some manuities that go lower than

1725
02:16:52.719 --> 02:16:56.239
one hundred percent. But all this
means is that if you earn in that

1726
02:16:56.319 --> 02:17:01.000
same equation, like one hundred thousand, and you earn ten percent in the

1727
02:17:01.120 --> 02:17:03.879
market with our products, there's some
that are two hundred and fifty percent participation,

1728
02:17:05.319 --> 02:17:07.280
which in that term will give you
twenty five thousand. So it just

1729
02:17:07.440 --> 02:17:11.040
means more weight on your earnings.
The best way to look at it,

1730
02:17:11.239 --> 02:17:13.680
so you get, you don't get, you don't get all of it.

1731
02:17:13.000 --> 02:17:18.280
They share it with you, and
that's their incentive to keep making higher returns.

1732
02:17:18.319 --> 02:17:20.680
That would be more the cap in
the in the ceiling. But yes,

1733
02:17:20.719 --> 02:17:26.639
the participation just means that your money
is participating on higher returns potentially or

1734
02:17:26.799 --> 02:17:30.719
you can never go lower. But
oh I thought the participation man that that

1735
02:17:30.879 --> 02:17:33.799
you participate up to a certain amount. No, no, no, good

1736
02:17:33.840 --> 02:17:37.239
point. Yeah, that's where the
caps are. That is the ceiling the

1737
02:17:37.319 --> 02:17:41.600
cap. Okay, then explain explain
the caps then, So caps just like

1738
02:17:41.639 --> 02:17:43.520
a house, you got a floor
and a ceiling. So in our case,

1739
02:17:43.559 --> 02:17:46.680
our floor on the again account,
Hey, the market side is that

1740
02:17:46.920 --> 02:17:50.200
zero percent. You can never go
lower than zero, go negative. But

1741
02:17:50.440 --> 02:17:56.920
the ceiling is where it's based off
of those investment offs with allocations, so

1742
02:17:56.920 --> 02:18:00.319
a lot of them have maybe six
percent or eight percent or ten percent or

1743
02:18:00.360 --> 02:18:01.879
even twenty. But that just means
to what you were saying if the market

1744
02:18:01.959 --> 02:18:07.280
returned ten and some of those allocations
are tapped at eight, well you're not

1745
02:18:07.399 --> 02:18:11.639
going anything higher than eight. Take
that spread that difference you will, all

1746
02:18:11.719 --> 02:18:15.479
right, Yeah, that's we're getting
the weeds a little bit. But no,

1747
02:18:15.600 --> 02:18:16.840
no, no, no, But
I understand what you're saying it.

1748
02:18:16.959 --> 02:18:20.040
But I wanted to kind of know
that. By the way, as far

1749
02:18:20.360 --> 02:18:26.879
as as far as the the difference, there's a cap rate, there's a

1750
02:18:26.959 --> 02:18:33.079
participation. By the way, uh
three ozho three seven one three talks on

1751
02:18:33.239 --> 02:18:39.559
number seven one three eight two five
five. There is an interesting move going

1752
02:18:39.680 --> 02:18:41.239
on, and I don't know how
the market's going to respond to this.

1753
02:18:41.360 --> 02:18:45.639
I'm not talking to the stock market. I'm talking about the retail market or

1754
02:18:45.719 --> 02:18:52.600
the people making things dumb technology.
They say, there is a there there

1755
02:18:52.680 --> 02:18:58.000
are a lot of people looking for
older technology, or dumb technology, as

1756
02:18:58.040 --> 02:19:03.760
they put it, TVs that aren't
so smart. Because what they say is

1757
02:19:03.879 --> 02:19:07.799
when they buy a TV and it
has like the smart hub on it,

1758
02:19:07.719 --> 02:19:11.639
they don't necessarily want that. They
want to be able. They don't mind

1759
02:19:11.680 --> 02:19:15.079
putting a Google TV or a Roku
or something on it, but they would

1760
02:19:15.200 --> 02:19:22.840
rather have dumb stuff sometimes, or
they don't necessarily they're not interested in technology

1761
02:19:22.920 --> 02:19:26.399
they don't use and it being there, it's kind of cluttered to them.

1762
02:19:26.879 --> 02:19:35.040
And that goes for phones, cars, TVs. So there seems to be

1763
02:19:35.159 --> 02:19:39.680
a growing market, and believe it
or not, among younger people. And

1764
02:19:39.799 --> 02:19:45.159
this was done by Morning Consult.
I always talk about these places they do.

1765
02:19:45.360 --> 02:19:50.319
They do a lot of surveys and
they have found that now younger people

1766
02:19:50.000 --> 02:19:56.680
are not necessarily wanting every bell and
whistle, and even with a cell phone,

1767
02:19:56.879 --> 02:20:03.799
beyond texting and VID, they don't
necessarily need a lot of the as

1768
02:20:03.879 --> 02:20:07.680
I say, bells and whistles.
So I like dumb technology to a certain

1769
02:20:07.719 --> 02:20:11.959
extent, and I kind of I
understand what they're talking about when they say

1770
02:20:13.559 --> 02:20:16.360
that they don't want a lot of
stuff they don't use, or a lot

1771
02:20:16.440 --> 02:20:20.920
of bloat wear. But anyway,
that's an interesting trend and I'm wondering if

1772
02:20:20.959 --> 02:20:26.200
the market's going to respond to that. Will we start seeing products with maybe

1773
02:20:26.360 --> 02:20:31.239
different levels of technology, you know, so you can get something that's dumb

1774
02:20:31.159 --> 02:20:37.840
or something that has everything three oh
three seven one three eight two five five.

1775
02:20:39.120 --> 02:20:45.239
So if you want great windows,
you want K and H home solutions,

1776
02:20:46.319 --> 02:20:52.040
they will have the Alpin windows a
thermally insulated fiberglass frame and an insulated

1777
02:20:52.159 --> 02:20:56.600
glass unit they call igus that are
damn near like a wall. I mean

1778
02:20:56.680 --> 02:21:03.360
they are unbelievable when it comes to
preventing leaks and drafts and also thermally insulated,

1779
02:21:03.639 --> 02:21:07.959
keeping the cold, transfer the hot
transfers, and they keep your home

1780
02:21:07.079 --> 02:21:13.200
comfortable. And these Alpin windows are
made right here in Colorado, and you

1781
02:21:13.319 --> 02:21:18.879
can have them installed by the oldest
home improvement company in Colorado kh K and

here three oh three seven to one to

1792
02:22:16.879 --> 02:22:22.559
three talk seven one three eight two
five five. You know what I found

1793
02:22:22.600 --> 02:22:26.079
shocking because I was looking up some
scams. I was doing a post on

1794
02:22:26.200 --> 02:22:31.360
scams, and it's just that scams
are at an all time high. Of

1795
02:22:31.440 --> 02:22:33.280
course, a lot of that has
to do with technology. In fact,

1796
02:22:33.360 --> 02:22:37.479
most of it. Most of the
scams are coming from technology. We used

1797
02:22:37.479 --> 02:22:39.239
to have scams, you know,
like the mail order scams. We used

1798
02:22:39.239 --> 02:22:43.879
to have door to door scams.
We used to have you know, things

1799
02:22:43.040 --> 02:22:46.680
like that. Okay, the driveway
paving and all of that. We still

1800
02:22:46.799 --> 02:22:52.319
get that right. But most scams, most of them are online. Of

1801
02:22:52.399 --> 02:22:56.479
course, we have some phone scams. We still have the you know,

1802
02:22:56.600 --> 02:23:01.440
the grandson scam or the grand you
know where they grandchild scam where they say

1803
02:23:01.479 --> 02:23:05.079
Grandma, this is you know grandma
and then they say, is this you

1804
02:23:05.639 --> 02:23:09.559
tony as it is? You know, I got arrested or whatever. So

1805
02:23:09.719 --> 02:23:18.079
many of these go around, but
mostly technology. And what I found really

1806
02:23:18.200 --> 02:23:28.639
weird is that with online shopping,
this has floored me. Eighty six percent

1807
02:23:30.000 --> 02:23:35.079
of the victims are under sixty in
fact, a lot of them are eighteen

1808
02:23:37.920 --> 02:23:43.719
to forty five. Now wouldn't you
think, now, well, maybe the

1809
02:23:43.760 --> 02:23:48.280
younger people are more stupid. But
now I'm not talking about because there are

1810
02:23:48.440 --> 02:23:50.799
more younger people online. I'm not
talking about that, and I'm talking about

1811
02:23:50.959 --> 02:23:56.280
of the people online, the majority
of people being ripped off or in the

1812
02:23:56.360 --> 02:24:01.040
age group, eighty six percent are
between eighteen and fifty nine. Well,

1813
02:24:01.159 --> 02:24:05.840
maybe that's because you're saying, well, that's because older people don't go online.

1814
02:24:07.319 --> 02:24:11.760
But anyway, especially the younger,
younger people eighteen to like thirty five.

1815
02:24:15.079 --> 02:24:24.360
Whereas business scams, business scams sixty
and above are more likely, there's

1816
02:24:24.399 --> 02:24:30.559
a little edge more. You get
more ripped off as you're older for business

1817
02:24:30.600 --> 02:24:37.319
scams. For investment scams, way
more likely to get ripped off, way

1818
02:24:37.440 --> 02:24:45.719
more likely to get ripped off under
sixty in your thirties and forties investment scams.

1819
02:24:46.319 --> 02:24:48.920
Wow, Jordan, can you imagine
that? Now? Why do you

1820
02:24:50.120 --> 02:24:54.959
think people in their thirties and forties
fall for investment scams? They're trying to

1821
02:24:56.000 --> 02:25:00.600
build wealth or something. I mean, that's actually pretty shock and that's statistic.

1822
02:25:00.639 --> 02:25:03.719
I'll be honest, I wouldn't have
thought it was that I would have

1823
02:25:03.760 --> 02:25:07.840
thought older people might be subject to
that more, but may I would agree,

1824
02:25:07.159 --> 02:25:11.319
But maybe I do see that though
a lot more people, you know,

1825
02:25:11.639 --> 02:25:13.200
do you want to make money very
quick nowadays and you see always ad

1826
02:25:13.440 --> 02:25:18.000
on YouTube or social media is on
you know, drop shipping or anything that

1827
02:25:18.120 --> 02:25:22.360
you can think of in the West
and the wind that romance scams are younger

1828
02:25:22.440 --> 02:25:24.920
people, believe it or not.
I thought that would have been older.

1829
02:25:26.760 --> 02:25:30.239
And when I say younger, I
mean under sixty, and I mean predominantly

1830
02:25:30.360 --> 02:25:35.079
in that in that twenty Now we're
talking twenty five to fifty range, which

1831
02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:39.040
is a middle eight, well young
to middle aged. And then you have

1832
02:25:41.079 --> 02:25:46.799
tech support scams that is all older
people, almost all of them. I

1833
02:25:46.920 --> 02:25:50.040
have a story of one of my
clients and I'll share it sometime with you,

1834
02:25:50.239 --> 02:25:52.600
and what is it or you know, I would never use names,

1835
02:25:52.639 --> 02:25:56.120
but it's been that exact scand the
tech scams a Microsoft Sam. Did they

1836
02:25:56.200 --> 02:26:01.559
get on her computer with her?
Yeah, it was I guess something to

1837
02:26:01.639 --> 02:26:03.959
deal with that. They already had
had it downloaded on her computer. You

1838
02:26:05.040 --> 02:26:07.399
know, the expiration of her security
is coming up. They gave her the

1839
02:26:07.440 --> 02:26:09.120
number to call and this is the
worst thing about Microsoft is their number is

1840
02:26:09.239 --> 02:26:13.319
nowhere really online the right number.
It all goes to another country, of

1841
02:26:13.399 --> 02:26:16.440
course, and so you never know
who you're talking to. But they got

1842
02:26:16.520 --> 02:26:22.879
her for twice. They got her
twice for over almost fifty k oh.

1843
02:26:22.879 --> 02:26:26.559
Oh god, I've tried. I've
helped her so much to get letters written

1844
02:26:26.600 --> 02:26:31.120
to the people of the cutter card
companies, a heat luck loan she had.

1845
02:26:31.319 --> 02:26:33.639
And they all said, because you
know, they were on the phone

1846
02:26:33.639 --> 02:26:35.600
with her when she went into the
bank asking for the stuff. They all

1847
02:26:35.680 --> 02:26:39.399
said, because her physically walking in
the bank, and even though the guy

1848
02:26:39.520 --> 02:26:41.680
was on the phone. So I
don't trust anyone there. Oh, because

1849
02:26:43.239 --> 02:26:46.200
later you said it earlier. They
get they get scared, they get intimidated

1850
02:26:46.239 --> 02:26:50.479
by these guys, and they won't
return much of her money because of all

1851
02:26:50.559 --> 02:26:54.479
that. It's just it's sad,
as expected. Fake check scams and job

1852
02:26:54.600 --> 02:27:00.239
scams are younger people. Prize and
sweepstakes lotteries are older people. People,

1853
02:27:01.159 --> 02:27:05.840
tech support scams, as we said, older people. A government and postors

1854
02:27:05.959 --> 02:27:11.719
are almost evenly split. Government and
posts like the IRS scams and all of

1855
02:27:11.799 --> 02:27:16.040
that. But I was pretty uh, I was pretty surprised by some of

1856
02:27:16.120 --> 02:27:22.479
those statistics three zho three seven one
three eight two five five. If you

1857
02:27:22.680 --> 02:27:28.319
want a personal injury attorney to give
you personal attention, you've heard John Fuller

1858
02:27:28.399 --> 02:27:33.719
on this show, and right now
John says you can call and he'll go

1859
02:27:33.879 --> 02:27:37.239
over your case and try to give
you an idea of what it is worth.

1860
02:27:37.639 --> 02:27:39.799
You know, there are times when
a case isn't worth a lot of

1861
02:27:39.879 --> 02:27:45.239
money. There are times when collection
will be almost impossible. You don't have

1862
02:27:45.319 --> 02:27:48.760
the right insurance. They don't have
the right insurance. So he's going to

1863
02:27:48.799 --> 02:27:50.959
be honest and straightforward with you.
But what I like about it is you'll

1864
02:27:52.000 --> 02:27:54.920
get to talk to him. In
most cases you don't even get to talk

1865
02:27:54.000 --> 02:27:58.760
to an attorney. You go to
some intake counselors or committee or call center.

1866
02:28:00.159 --> 02:28:03.200
So John Fuller, if you want
the lowdown on your case, what

1867
02:28:03.440 --> 02:28:07.319
is it worth, what are the
chances of collecting? What do you think

1868
02:28:07.399 --> 02:28:09.000
you can do? What should be
my next steps? All of that free

1869
02:28:09.040 --> 02:28:13.719

02:29:20.280 --> 02:29:28.200
of Democrats are mounting on who will
not attend the Yahoo speech to Congress.

1883
02:29:30.879 --> 02:29:35.559
I have a question and I should
have done this earlier. Feel free to

1884
02:29:35.680 --> 02:29:39.200
text me. I want to know
what Jew in their right mind, what

1885
02:29:39.440 --> 02:29:46.600
you in the right mind would vote
Democrat? They are absolutely abandoning Israel.

1886
02:29:48.399 --> 02:29:54.680
Just an observation I made. I
want to give out Jordan's a contact info.

1887
02:29:54.760 --> 02:29:58.559
But I wanted to ask. Somebody
just texted me, why did your

1888
02:29:58.639 --> 02:30:03.040
dad say he's got f fifty seven
different kinds of annuities fixed index he can

1889
02:30:03.239 --> 02:30:07.120
choose from. Why fifty seven that
does seem excessive? What does he mean?

1890
02:30:07.360 --> 02:30:11.120
Yeah, that's a very good question. So we have access and a

1891
02:30:11.239 --> 02:30:16.360
license to all those different companies.
They're different companies and so reason being is

1892
02:30:16.040 --> 02:30:18.239
just like anything else. A lot
of companies, a lot of products or

1893
02:30:18.440 --> 02:30:22.040
revolving doors. They are great when
you buy it because your grandfathered in to

1894
02:30:22.159 --> 02:30:26.639
them, but they could change.
Companies could be better next year that we're

1895
02:30:26.680 --> 02:30:30.200
not using right now. But the
key thing is just age. Some people

1896
02:30:30.280 --> 02:30:33.360
might want to take money now,
one year, five years, ten years

1897
02:30:33.360 --> 02:30:35.760
from now. And that's why you
need to have different tools for different clients,

1898
02:30:37.479 --> 02:30:39.200
just to be able to fit the
right company with the highest payout.

1899
02:30:39.319 --> 02:30:43.000
And that's what we do. Run
analysis for their age, their payout at

1900
02:30:43.040 --> 02:30:46.360
which top three company are going even
the most? All right, thank you
