Speaker 1: Yeah, ripped.
Speaker 2: News need advice, so you don't have.
Speaker 1: As we can.
Speaker 2: Shooter's gonna help.
Speaker 3: Come Man Dix is the Troubleshooter Show. Now, Tom Martino, Hey,
Speaker 3: Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three
Speaker 3: seven one three talks even one three eight two five five.
Speaker 3: I'm bringing in the studio Mark and sues, and I'm
Speaker 3: waiting for Jeff Vick camera transmission. I think he's gonna
Speaker 3: show up for car Friday next summer. Oh, you're he's
Speaker 3: at the studio. Okay. I thought he was coming to me. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's good. He's at the studio. I don't see his
Speaker 3: his funny face, so.
Speaker 4: You got him shine on the back of my head
Speaker 4: coming off the camera.
Speaker 3: All right, good, all right, good, So you're there. Then
Speaker 3: then I had sent you a text saying the Bears
Speaker 3: doc good, excellent, excellent. Let's talk three oh three seven
Speaker 3: one three talk seven one three eight two five five. Anyway,
Speaker 3: So I want to talk about this somehow, some way, Mark,
Speaker 3: you you took a call because the guy sent us
Speaker 3: a follow up email because I don't recognize the problem,
Speaker 3: so I figured you did. And for those listening, we
Speaker 3: take problems questions complaints and work on all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3: And I have an update on Drew as well, and
Speaker 3: let's do it with one wacko dude.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: Well, you know Mark, Okay, he's very he is a
Speaker 3: very strange and usual. But he wrote me a letter
Speaker 3: and and now he's saying I made a pledge and
Speaker 3: a promise to him and don't go back on it.
Speaker 3: What was the pledge in promise? Okay, I did say
Speaker 3: to him, I want to help you. Give me your
Speaker 3: username and password. I want to help you. I want
Speaker 3: to edit your your GoFundMe. I want to make a
Speaker 3: better a plea for you on that go fund me.
Speaker 3: But in order he wants me to change the phone
Speaker 3: number to mine and take the calls. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to do it. I'd never pledge that. What I said
Speaker 3: was i'd help him with the description. Here's the problem
Speaker 3: with Drew. He's not this is not I mean, I
Speaker 3: know he feels that this is going to be his
Speaker 3: end all.
Speaker 5: He's going to be out of recap his latest thing.
Speaker 5: Though I don't think people really know what I know.
Speaker 3: I've known him over twenty years. Okay, he's listened to
Speaker 3: me when I was in New York and on WABC,
Speaker 3: and he lives in Jersey and he's followed me for
Speaker 3: years and years and years, and when I was nationally
Speaker 3: syndicated out there, he listened to me and I did
Speaker 3: help him on a few things. Did he bring a
Speaker 3: big story to you at one point or no? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, And so I forget what it was had
Speaker 3: to do with investments, but yeah, no, No, the guy
Speaker 3: is a good researcher and he has a lot of
Speaker 3: credibility with me. As far as certain issues. There have
Speaker 3: been times I think that he he just it seems
Speaker 3: like conflict follows this many and he'll say no, but
Speaker 3: and he'll say he's attacked because of his standings with
Speaker 3: his faith and all of that. But I don't want
Speaker 3: to get into that right now. Here's what I want
Speaker 3: to tell you. His most recent thing is he had
Speaker 3: he's in his late seventies, but he said that he
Speaker 3: was injured. There are two personal injury suits, isn't that right? Day?
Speaker 3: Two personal injury suits hold on a go Aheazer.
Speaker 6: There are two ongoing personal injury cases.
Speaker 3: Too, And we talked, we researched this, but anyway, bottom
Speaker 3: line is he said there was a guy backed perpendicular
Speaker 3: to a curb up on the curb. Now it wasn't
Speaker 3: alongside like parking parallel. He was perpendicular ninety degrees to
Speaker 3: the curb. And it was at night. I think he
Speaker 3: said it was a night or was low visibility.
Speaker 7: It sounded like it was at night, and the guy
Speaker 7: had his tailgate up or the tailgate was going up
Speaker 7: and down.
Speaker 3: I don't recall but the exact details, but Drew walked
Speaker 3: into it and he said that it was negligence on
Speaker 3: this guy's part, but then he had another personal intrigue,
Speaker 3: so he said after that he couldn't work anymore. He was,
Speaker 3: you know, And so he's running out of money and
Speaker 3: he figures he'll be out of money in December. So
Speaker 3: they want to go fund me, and gofund me is terrible.
Speaker 3: The gofund me side he has is absolutely terrible. It
Speaker 3: talks about Kamala Harris more than anything, and how she
Speaker 3: made him broke, and it doesn't talk about an out
Speaker 3: of work preacher who's injured and needs help. And I
Speaker 3: told him, you know what, you need to edit this thing.
Speaker 3: But I think he's getting the false impression that I'm
Speaker 3: going to have some magical power when I do it,
Speaker 3: and I'm not taking control of his GoFundMe. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to do it. And when I go in to
Speaker 3: try to edit the verifications go to his phone number,
Speaker 3: I can't and I'm not going to change it to
Speaker 3: my phone number. So he writes me these guilt emails
Speaker 3: that quite frankly, I kind of I don't like it.
Speaker 3: You promised, you pledged me, you did this, you did that,
Speaker 3: you know, And he says, you need to help me. Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm going to try to help them. And we did
Speaker 3: research his lawsuits. They're very weak at best and will
Speaker 3: take maybe five to ten years.
Speaker 8: Tom, I think it's very important for Drew to understand
Speaker 8: that regardless of the merit of his two personal injury cases,
Speaker 8: any judgment or any settlement for that matter, well it's far, far,
Speaker 8: far far in the future, and his financial situation is
Speaker 8: so dire that neither of these cases can possibly help
Speaker 8: him get out of this situation, not.
Speaker 3: Now, and I don't think the YouTube will either. I'm
Speaker 3: just a little distressed over this, So let's let's just
Speaker 3: keep going here. Man, That's all I can do. Let
Speaker 3: me take some calls and I'll bring again Mark and
Speaker 3: Seue's back. It's just truly.
Speaker 1: Oh on.
Speaker 3: Now I got everybody in there. Good, thank you, I
Speaker 3: even see ugly Doc. And let's talk about your problem. Jessica,
Speaker 3: how can we help you? And then Mark, I'm going
Speaker 3: to go over that other one with the rent till.
Speaker 3: I believe that was sent as a result of a
Speaker 3: call you took yesterday. Jessica, what's going on?
Speaker 9: Hi, thank you station my call. I am having some
Speaker 9: issues with Stevens and Lexus of Lakewood some service they
Speaker 9: did on my car.
Speaker 3: What's going on? Now? You have a Lexus and what
Speaker 3: twenty ten Lexus? What happened?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 9: So I brought it in for a routine oil change
Speaker 9: and it was time for a break job, so I
Speaker 9: had that added on and done as well. They sent
Speaker 9: me on my own.
Speaker 3: By the way, sh had mentioned, Stephenson is no longer Stevenson.
Speaker 3: I mean it might be called Stephenson. But okay, so
Speaker 3: what happened? You took it in for service.
Speaker 10: Yep, that's the.
Speaker 9: Break job done, they said. Everything else looked great. About
Speaker 9: a week later, I was hearing a noise from my
Speaker 9: tire and scheduled an appointment to take it back in
Speaker 9: and on my way there, the tire fell off my
Speaker 9: car while I was driving it.
Speaker 3: This was a week.
Speaker 6: Later, the tire or the.
Speaker 9: Whole wheel, the whole Yeah, the whole wheel with the
Speaker 9: somb written.
Speaker 3: This was a week later.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was about two weeks by the time I,
Speaker 9: you know, had that appointment after.
Speaker 3: Will fallen off? Two weeks later? What do you think, Jack? Wait? Wait, well, wait,
Speaker 3: hold on one second. When did the noise start? The noise?
Speaker 9: Yeah, the noise started about a week after, and it
Speaker 9: was it wasn't anything that I was very alarmed with.
Speaker 3: It just sounded like okay, So a week later, okay,
Speaker 3: she heard a noise a week later, and then a
Speaker 3: week after that the wheel fell off.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the wheel fell off.
Speaker 11: As I was thinking it back to the.
Speaker 3: Was it why get or anything at any point? And
Speaker 3: which wheel was it?
Speaker 9: My front driver's side? And they worked on that right, Yeah,
Speaker 9: they took all the wheels, they did all the breaks
Speaker 9: on all the tires.
Speaker 3: So so okay. So then Jeff Mark asked Aptley, what
Speaker 3: what do you think I mean?
Speaker 4: Usually if you have loose lug nuts, it's going to
Speaker 4: happen a lot faster than that. To make literally happen.
Speaker 3: What would make the noise? What would make that noise?
Speaker 3: What kind was it? A grinding noise? What kind of noise?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was like a grinding noise that it would
Speaker 9: only really happen when I was driving slow and it
Speaker 9: looked like one of the lug nuts snapped off. And
Speaker 9: then I'm sure all the rest.
Speaker 3: What do they say now though? When you brought it
Speaker 3: back to them?
Speaker 9: Yeah, when I first brought it back, you know, they said,
Speaker 9: this is not your fault. We'll take a look at
Speaker 9: it and see what's going on.
Speaker 11: We're so sorry.
Speaker 9: And then it took them a full another two weeks
Speaker 9: and they got back to me yesterday and said that
Speaker 9: my aftermarket rims are the issue and that they don't
Speaker 9: have proper spacing for my car. But they did not
Speaker 9: tell me that when I got the job done, So
Speaker 9: that feels like something they should have told me when
Speaker 9: I got the job done.
Speaker 4: That's entirely possible, and that's actually really easy to miss
Speaker 4: when you're miss mixed matching, you know, something aftermarket with
Speaker 4: something on we am. I have a very good friend
Speaker 4: with a tire shop, but don't you with several different
Speaker 4: vehicles where.
Speaker 3: Don't you think they're responsible for this tire falling off
Speaker 3: or not.
Speaker 4: They should have some culpability. Yes, I don't know that
Speaker 4: they should share the whole thing, but yeah they do.
Speaker 3: How long did you have those rims prior to bringing
Speaker 3: it in for the break jap?
Speaker 12: I have.
Speaker 9: I've had the car for six years.
Speaker 4: Can't be tied again.
Speaker 9: I've had them swapped by another tire company. I have
Speaker 9: two sets of tires.
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't.
Speaker 5: So the off set wouldn't be the offset and the
Speaker 5: bolt pattern.
Speaker 3: What would it be?
Speaker 4: Not necessarily the offset on the bolt pattern. But you know,
Speaker 4: most lucknuts now are closed off on the top, not
Speaker 4: like when you and I were kids and which went
Speaker 4: all the way through like a nut.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So if you run it down at bottoms out before
Speaker 4: it's got that time that it takes a few weeks
Speaker 4: if you have just enough tork on it, because you're
Speaker 4: just when you're talking down a nutther of bulls, you're
Speaker 4: only stretching the threads. Got it, Okay, So it's going
Speaker 4: to take some time to back that off.
Speaker 3: I got it. So they're refusing to do anything, is
Speaker 3: what you're saying.
Speaker 9: Yes, so far, I've been trying to get a hold
Speaker 9: of the manager just see if there's anything they can do.
Speaker 9: But they said that it's not they're not liable for any.
Speaker 5: I think we may a call over to the service department,
Speaker 5: Kelly and see if we can't get them on.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 9: I think I have a number as well if you yeah,
Speaker 9: give it to Kelly.
Speaker 3: But I mean what I mean, really? What do you think? Tom?
Speaker 3: Do you think they should be paying for this? I do?
Speaker 5: I do, Yes, she had it six years and these
Speaker 5: people can't get it right. I'm sure she's had tires
Speaker 5: put on or tires rotated and whoever that did it right?
Speaker 4: Well, not to mention she's got four of those tires
Speaker 4: on there, four of those wheels on their one out
Speaker 4: of failure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're trying to cover something up. Hey,
Speaker 5: let's let.
Speaker 3: Who should we give this to to make some phone calls? Doc?
Speaker 3: Do you want to call over there and Doc? What
Speaker 3: have you been working on? I know yesterday?

Speaker 13: I got that update for you, Tom.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do that, and then Jessica back to Jessica
Speaker 3: to see what we can do for her with Stevenson
Speaker 3: go ahead doc. Which one was this?
Speaker 13: Michelle called out our Cadillac escalation.
Speaker 3: You twenty Cadillacs. She said that at one hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty thousand miles from Harlan Automotive and Retridge. The next day,
Speaker 3: the engine light went on misfire. It showed the code
Speaker 3: said misfire an improper function of two cylinders. Dealers supposedly
Speaker 3: fixed it. The same day, the engine light went back on,
Speaker 3: got the same error codes. Two weeks later, the dealer
Speaker 3: says the engine shot. They will replace the engine, which
Speaker 3: is amazing because she got no warranty with this whatsoever.
Speaker 3: She bought it as is. Then the engine light came
Speaker 3: on again after the replacement engine. Oh my god, this thing.
Speaker 3: And by the way, the replacement engine was used. So
Speaker 3: the dealer now says, look, you know what, We'll trade
Speaker 3: you out of the vehicle if you want, but we've
Speaker 3: done all we can for you. What's going on, Doc?
Speaker 14: Well, apparently they heard the deputy doc was on the
Speaker 14: case because after uh I said I was going to
Speaker 14: take the case, they called Michelle and they are going
Speaker 14: to She's going to return the car and get all
Speaker 14: her money back.
Speaker 3: That is the way to do it. You want to
Speaker 3: know why, because they did not sell it properly in
Speaker 3: my opinion, because she did not have that the missions voucher.
Speaker 3: So they're going to undo the deal. They're going to
Speaker 3: undo the deal. That is. So is she happy?
Speaker 13: Yes?
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 14: The thing is, she said she doesn't have a car,
Speaker 14: So I said, look.
Speaker 3: Well wait wait wait wait, did she trade a car.
Speaker 14: In I she no, I don't think so, I don't
Speaker 14: know what they did, all right, But she said she
Speaker 14: didn't have a car, So I told her, look, get
Speaker 14: a rental car for Friday and Saturday. Go find yourself
Speaker 14: in another car and get a make sure you get
Speaker 14: a pre purchased inspection done.
Speaker 13: Don't wind up in the same boat that you are
Speaker 13: with the.
Speaker 3: Cadillac exactly now, Jessica. So I believe that Stevenson has
Speaker 3: some culpability here, as everyone in the studio does. So
Speaker 3: what do you so? What? What? What are they willing
Speaker 3: to do for you? Yeah?
Speaker 9: I mean that a lot of the first time they
Speaker 9: came back to me with the assessment was yesterday. I
Speaker 9: started calling the manager this morning. But yesterday they said
Speaker 9: that they're not going to cover it in any way.
Speaker 15: So next steps?
Speaker 3: Yeah, wait, wait, wait, well what do they they just said,
Speaker 3: hold on? Exactly what did they I don't mean exact words,
Speaker 3: but did they say, like, basically, we're not responsible for that.
Speaker 9: They didn't specifically say it in those words, but they
Speaker 9: gave me a quote and a bill, and I asked
Speaker 9: that they would be covering how much?
Speaker 3: How much to fix it? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Four thy seven hundred to fix it and that's not
Speaker 9: including some body work that I would also need done separately.
Speaker 3: And they are the only ones that were on that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, within that timeframe, they would have been the only one, Jeff.
Speaker 3: And it was two weeks. Jeff. I mean, come on, man,
Speaker 3: they can't they can't just wash their hands of this
Speaker 3: damn thing. Are they saying she should have known better
Speaker 3: than to ride around?
Speaker 4: Did they, Jessica, did they have a driveability complaint? She
Speaker 4: would have no reason to step out of the car. Okay,
Speaker 4: So something like a scraping noise like she was describing before,
Speaker 4: she wouldn't necessarily understand that that's not even just a
Speaker 4: stone stuck inside the backing plate. So I think that's,
Speaker 4: you know, a very weak argument.
Speaker 3: Okay. I think two things.
Speaker 5: One, we put deputy doct or someone on this to
Speaker 5: make the call over there and see if they'll actually
Speaker 5: be reasonable, because, in my opinion, if she is telling
Speaker 5: the truth on everything, these guys, oh were that repair,
Speaker 5: I think they screwed up. I think Stevenson, if this
Speaker 5: is the way it's going to go over at Stevenson, now,
Speaker 5: that really sucks.
Speaker 3: But we give I think, well we do. I agree.
Speaker 3: I'm going to let let Deputy de call over there.
Speaker 5: But they go to anything, Tom, This is perfect for
Speaker 5: small claims.
Speaker 3: It absolutely positively is Mark, absolutely, and I think you'd
Speaker 3: win or I think that they'd settle for some I
Speaker 3: think just settle all day long.
Speaker 5: In fact, I wish they would go to court on
Speaker 5: it if she follows through with a small claims action,
Speaker 5: because then she can come on the air once a
Speaker 5: week and brag how they tried to screw her and
Speaker 5: the court said, no, you can't do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jessica, you this is wrong. You know it's not
Speaker 3: a coincidence that your wheel fell off, and we you know, look,
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're gonna give this over to Deputy d
Speaker 3: right now to make some calls. And then what I'd
Speaker 3: like you to do is, uh is stand by when
Speaker 3: we talk to you. We may have to have you
Speaker 3: do a small claims action against them, and I think
Speaker 3: you'll you'll prevail. But let's take it one step at
Speaker 3: a time. Three oh three seven one three talk three

Speaker 3: sixteen twenty two. Tom Martino three O three seven one
Speaker 3: three talk three oll three seven one three eight two
Speaker 3: five five all right, Mark had a case. Do we
Speaker 3: have the consumer up or you just want to talk
Speaker 3: about it early.
Speaker 5: I'd like to get him up. I think Kelly's reaching
Speaker 5: out to him. But he called up yesterday and he said, hey,
Speaker 5: I talked to the old apartment manager. Our one year
Speaker 5: lease was up, and I said, hey, we're only going
Speaker 5: to be here another month or two. What should I do?
Speaker 5: And he said that that manager said nothing. You already
Speaker 5: have language in your lease to where a few stay
Speaker 5: past the twelve months. It just goes to a month
Speaker 5: to month. But it's more money. It's like thirty eight
Speaker 5: hundred a month compared to whatever. So they stayed an
Speaker 5: extra month, then gave the thirty day notice that this
Speaker 5: apparent person told them to give when they were on
Speaker 5: the month to month and moved out.
Speaker 3: Why are they being assess five grand now?
Speaker 5: Well, meantime they got another apartment manager in. The new
Speaker 5: apartment manager goes, Nope, that's not the way it works.
Speaker 5: You're breaking your lease and that's going to cost five
Speaker 5: thousand bucks. So, interestingly enough, Lucas sent me over the
Speaker 5: email correspondence between himself and Levi, who was the old
Speaker 5: apartment manager, and sure enough, Levi told him to do
Speaker 5: exactly what he said on air yesterday. So this new
Speaker 5: manager is trying to bust his balls. To put it
Speaker 5: that way, I think we should actually now.
Speaker 3: Know what's interesting. Mark, This is what's interesting. Yeah, Like
Speaker 3: if someone makes a promise to you, like a manager, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: and then the manager leaves. We've heard this before. It
Speaker 3: happened with car deals and a lot of things, of course,
Speaker 3: and the owners say, hey, he never had authority to do.
Speaker 5: This is so specific on exactly what he's asking, though.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's a judge in the world that
Speaker 5: would tell this apartment complex not to pound sand I
Speaker 5: mean it's that straight up. In fact, Hi, Lucas, you
Speaker 5: do not need to sign another contract as your current
Speaker 5: contract has verbiage that makes it automatically roll on a
Speaker 5: month to month basis.
Speaker 3: Wow Britain. Notice, I mean he exactly.
Speaker 5: I thought he was exaggerating on the air, right, his
Speaker 5: emails are perfect. I can't imagine if he has shared
Speaker 5: these with Promenade Place is News manager.
Speaker 3: I think I don't know what they're trying to do.
Speaker 3: It's that cut and dry. Yeah, you're right, because he
Speaker 3: said he even referenced the least saying it automatically reversed
Speaker 3: months to month, and so now what are they're trying
Speaker 3: to say that they're trying to hit them up for
Speaker 3: five grand? Yeah, I just don't get it. I just
Speaker 3: don't get why they're doing this. Okay, I have a
Speaker 3: couple of texts here. Come on, buddy, I realize to
Speaker 3: help everyone, but really, like Doc said yesterday, move out
Speaker 3: of Jersey, go somewhere less expensive. He's talking about Drew now,
Speaker 3: who needs help. He's running out of money. He'll be
Speaker 3: out of here December. And by the way, Drew is
Speaker 3: on a pension disability of some behind. I think you
Speaker 3: can verify that d right, and also social security. He's
Speaker 3: on social security plus a pension right.
Speaker 6: I've verified that he's on disability.
Speaker 8: I did not ask about social security, but given his age,
Speaker 8: he told us.
Speaker 3: I think a combined of seventeen hundred a month or something,
Speaker 3: and I think that's what he said. But whatever case,
Speaker 3: he says, everybody thinks that gofund me is like magic.
Speaker 3: Nobody has any priorities or responsibility. Now, I'll look at
Speaker 3: Drew is not necessarily dead be but I will tell
Speaker 3: you this. Some guys said, Am I the only one
Speaker 3: that picked up on that. I'm not look at I
Speaker 3: am not attacking Drew, but I will say this, and
Speaker 3: this guy verified it. He said he did a quick
Speaker 3: search of Drew on the internet and found many many
Speaker 3: civil cases where he sues people all the time. Uh, Mark,
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do. I want to help
Speaker 3: him with the GoFundMe.
Speaker 1: I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I wasn't around for that call. I was at a
Speaker 3: few I said I would log on and I would
Speaker 3: help him. I want people to go to the GoF No.
Speaker 5: No, what I'm asking someone said it dates back to
Speaker 5: where he ran into the tailgate.
Speaker 3: What does that have to do with it? Okay, he
Speaker 3: was working, okay and making some money here and there,
Speaker 3: plus his disability and his social security. Yeah, then he
Speaker 3: had this injury and said it stopped him from working completely.
Speaker 3: The injury.
Speaker 5: Is it the one where he literally walked into a
Speaker 5: tailgate and blaming the truck?
Speaker 3: Yes, he did, Okay he did. I mean, what do
Speaker 3: you say to that? So, Tom, if you go to God,
Speaker 3: everybody needs to know.
Speaker 5: What I'm talking about is picture a pickup truck, the
Speaker 5: tailgates down, the guys in like a home depot, parking
Speaker 5: lot or wherever.
Speaker 3: I don't know where he was. Drew runs in, walks,
Speaker 3: walks into the tailgate and injures himself and it's the
Speaker 3: tailgate's fault. Well mark, to his defense, to some degree,
Speaker 3: the truck, the SUV was parked perpendicular to the curve
Speaker 3: and up on the sidewalk, he said, with the tailgate
Speaker 3: extended emptying or loading or unloading or whatever. And he says,
Speaker 3: that's not where you expect to see a tail I mean,
Speaker 3: but I don't understand for completely.
Speaker 5: That's a good point sidewalk. I'd noticed step over it.
Speaker 3: By the way, if you go to go fund me
Speaker 3: and you search Drew d R e W Drew Bradford
Speaker 3: b r A d F or D. You'll see why
Speaker 3: I wanted to edit his go fundme. I didn't say that, Listen.
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to down this guy. Really, he's not
Speaker 3: a bad guy. I mean, but here's what he says.
Speaker 3: Here's his gofund me. Now why I want to this
Speaker 3: is why I want to redo it. But but I
Speaker 3: think he got the false impression I'm going to take
Speaker 3: it over. He wants me to put my phone number
Speaker 3: in there and take the emails. I can't do it.
Speaker 3: Here's what it says. I am being harmed by Tamela
Speaker 3: or Kamala Harris. Oh hell is allowing to them. You
Speaker 3: should have led with that. I thought this had to
Speaker 3: do with the tailgate. No, no, but this is what
Speaker 3: has gofund me says. Listen, she is allowing me to
Speaker 3: be evicted, a poor seventy seven year old good samaritan
Speaker 3: who has helped minority children and people, while she gives
Speaker 3: free rent to illegal aliens. Now, who's going to donate
Speaker 3: to that? I am a disabled, good person in need
Speaker 3: of help. Kamala has put many African American men in
Speaker 3: jail for pot while she smoked. She has the best
Speaker 3: smile and the worst heart. Please mail or phone to
Speaker 3: save me from eviction. Under Kamala, ninety eight percent of
Speaker 3: my life savings has gone. What you're right, Mark, he
Speaker 3: never mentions anything about being injured. Hold on, I'm donating
Speaker 3: to him as we speak. That's nice of you. I
Speaker 3: didn't know he was. He was one of my people. Oh,
Speaker 3: by the way, I am going to log in and
Speaker 3: change that description. Mark, I don't think that's apropos.
Speaker 5: I really well, it means I mean, it's like he's
Speaker 5: campaigning for Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what that. I don't know
Speaker 3: what that is. Now we did talk again.
Speaker 5: We did research one of the steps donated seventy five
Speaker 5: bucks Man.
Speaker 3: Deputy d you did you did research his case. Okay,
Speaker 3: there's a slim possibility he may get money, but it
Speaker 3: could take years. Yeah, and that's only if they Settled's
Speaker 3: the I.
Speaker 7: Don't think the impression Gate case, well, there are two
Speaker 7: two cases.
Speaker 8: There are two cases, and I didn't really care about
Speaker 8: which cases with the this is going to come up first.
Speaker 8: The super important part is that none of them are
Speaker 8: to result in a check. If they result in a check,
Speaker 8: it's not going to come soon enough and not resolve
Speaker 8: Drew's dire financial sensue.
Speaker 3: It's not going to be a lot of money.
Speaker 6: And no, probably not.
Speaker 3: He looks like somebody and I can't place it.
Speaker 14: Hey, but look, do you think that if he if
Speaker 14: he's poenias the tail gate into court, he'll win the case.
Speaker 3: I called the tailgate?
Speaker 8: Well, look, here's here's the other part. Here's the part
Speaker 8: that doesn't look good for for Drew. I just did
Speaker 8: a search of his lawsuits and I got it. Looks
Speaker 8: like at least a couple of pages of results of
Speaker 8: various lawsuits.
Speaker 6: I know from what I see, none of them.
Speaker 3: And he says, I just fight for justice. I mean,
Speaker 3: I tried to tell him, remember Mark years ago, I said, Drew,
Speaker 3: it looks like you just picked too many fights. I
Speaker 3: don't look at I don't dislike the man. Do I
Speaker 3: think he's disillusioned? Yes?
Speaker 16: I do.
Speaker 3: I don't even gonna any any merit.
Speaker 5: I don't even understand how there could be a court
Speaker 5: date set over him walking into a tailgate.
Speaker 3: The super date they just filed lawsuits. There's no court date. Okay,

Speaker 3: about anything you'd like. Jeff Vickers with us from Chimera Transmission.
Speaker 3: So what is happening with you? Tim? How can we
Speaker 3: help you? I hope we can morning.
Speaker 13: Nuh.
Speaker 12: My son's pickup is in a limp mode right now? Oh,
Speaker 12: would it be better? Would it be better to take
Speaker 12: it to a transmission guide to diagnose it or regular
Speaker 12: mechanic even though it affects the transmission.
Speaker 4: I believe it's transmission related. Then yes, see the transmission specialist.
Speaker 4: Whether you bring it to me or another reputable shop,
Speaker 4: that is going to be your starting point.
Speaker 5: Well, most regular shops, Tim, they can look at it
Speaker 5: and tell you something's wrong, But the bottom line is
Speaker 5: they're either going to order a rebuilt unit from a
Speaker 5: company like Jasper out of state or something, then install it.
Speaker 5: They're not going to tear it down, find the problems,
Speaker 5: rebuild the whole thing.
Speaker 3: You'll have a warranty in there. That's the main difference.
Speaker 4: And you'd be amazed how many times that transmission of
Speaker 4: whether they take it out of the truck or they
Speaker 4: bring me the truck. But that ends up in my
Speaker 4: shop anyway.
Speaker 3: Really it is.
Speaker 12: So you're saying it is transmission.
Speaker 4: No, I haven't checked out the truck. I can't tell
Speaker 4: you it's transmission. If you believe it's transmission, then I
Speaker 4: would just don't know. Use a transmission shop. Well, is
Speaker 4: it stuck in a single gear?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's like stuck in fourth gear.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That the likelihood is that that's going to be transmission related,
Speaker 4: and it could be something as simple as a sensor.
Speaker 4: It could be something that complicated as an overhaul. But
Speaker 4: a good transmission shop is going to look at it,
Speaker 4: give you an honest evaluation and an honest price to
Speaker 4: go along with the repair.
Speaker 5: Hey, when you say a sensor on something like that, Jeff,
Speaker 5: I guess I don't understand that part.
Speaker 3: So on that truck, is it like a tree or
Speaker 3: what is it?
Speaker 14: What?
Speaker 3: What twenty fifteen Dodge.
Speaker 4: I'm assuming you probably have the six speed. It's not
Speaker 4: the rotator dial, right, it's not the eighth speed.
Speaker 5: So the sensor, like if it breaks and it's in
Speaker 5: a certain gear, it just can no longer move it yell, and.
Speaker 4: The computer can no longer a value. You'll make decisions.
Speaker 4: So you say the input speed sensor goes bad. It
Speaker 4: recognizes that the output speeds sitch is moving. It knows
Speaker 4: the truck's rolling, but it doesn't know how fast in
Speaker 4: the front of the transmissions.
Speaker 3: Moving, so it doesn't know what gear to be is it.
Speaker 4: Gets scared, so it goes into limp fourth gear. We've
Speaker 4: got enough power where we can legitimately get away from
Speaker 4: a stop and if we have to when we're on
Speaker 4: the highway. We haven't locked this thing up when it
Speaker 4: goes into limp, so it gives you the ability to
Speaker 4: get to a shop to get a checked out.
Speaker 3: So actually it's kind of designed. If that sensor goes
Speaker 3: out to go into fourth gear, it does a program fail. Wow, Tim,
Speaker 3: you might get off easily, brother, I don't.
Speaker 12: Know, man. Yeah, we're hoping. We're hoping though, but you
Speaker 12: know what, my son looked it up and it could
Speaker 12: very well be an electrical issue that but that's the
Speaker 12: final deal is that put it in that mode.

Speaker 3: from camera transmissions. Today is car day. I do have
Speaker 3: some texts on that and we will get to those
Speaker 3: and we'll get to any calls. It doesn't have to
Speaker 3: be car related, of course. And we have a full
Speaker 3: gang today and let me get to the let me
Speaker 3: put them up on the studio. Here we have Jeff
Speaker 3: vic over there on screen left. We have deputy Doc
Speaker 3: in the background above Jeff, and then we have Sues
Speaker 3: at the main desk chair and then Major Mark Major
Speaker 3: to the right screen and then welcome. That's if you're streaming,
Speaker 3: and that's YouTube Troubleshooter Network. But most of our people
Speaker 3: are on radio and we love you and call in
Speaker 3: with any problems, questions or complaints. Here's the text about transmissions.
Speaker 3: The woman mentioned a grinding sound. Other people mention other sounds, Jeff,
Speaker 3: somebody should put out an index on what sounds mean.
Speaker 3: That's interesting, So let me ask you. Yeah, what do
Speaker 3: sounds mean? How do you know if it sounds coming
Speaker 3: from the transmission or from the motor or don't you know?
Speaker 4: Well, most of the time, when first of all it's
Speaker 4: coming from the transmission, it's going to almost be like
Speaker 4: a muffle. You know, it sounds like it's inside something
Speaker 4: that's not going to sound external. So you like, if
Speaker 4: you have a break noise, or if you have a
Speaker 4: belt squealing, you can tell that that's outside of a component,
Speaker 4: it's not housed inside anything. Then transmissions will typically be
Speaker 4: you know, is it going to be going along with
Speaker 4: road speed? Doesn't match engine speed? That'll give you an
Speaker 4: idea whether we're looking at the input side of transmission
Speaker 4: output side of the transmission.
Speaker 3: So if it changes with rpm, what does it mean.
Speaker 4: Well, it still doesn't mean that it's transmission, right, It
Speaker 4: just means that whatever those components are making the noise
Speaker 4: the relative to the engine speed. But it's more dependent
Speaker 4: on the drive side as opposed to the driven side.
Speaker 3: Now, let's say it it doesn't change so much with rpm,
Speaker 3: but it does change with speed.
Speaker 4: Well, then the likelihood is I mean, if you pretty
Speaker 4: much eliminated an engine, but it could still be a transmission,
Speaker 4: you could still be looking into differentials transfer cases.
Speaker 3: Do they call that? What do they call that part?
Speaker 3: That's not the engine, but it's the tranny and the
Speaker 3: axles and all that.
Speaker 4: Well, you have the transfer case and that's what gives
Speaker 4: you four wheel drive capablity, Okay, and then you have
Speaker 4: the differentials, which is what diverts the power to individual wheels.
Speaker 3: So in any case, can we all agree that noises
Speaker 3: are not natural from I mean.
Speaker 4: We actually are, you know, and you know, so when
Speaker 4: we have customers come back or come in complaining to
Speaker 4: certain gear noises, oftentimes we send away and tell them
Speaker 4: it is normal. Gears are made for durability, not for stealth.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay. Now, as far as temperatures, cold, hot, whatever,
Speaker 3: what is the deal when it comes to really, when
Speaker 3: it comes to the outside temps, when we tend to
Speaker 3: have more would we have tend to have more trouble
Speaker 3: or less trouble with a tranny?
Speaker 4: You'll tend to have more trouble during the summer when
Speaker 4: the ambient temperatures are really yeah, because you're still trying
Speaker 4: to you've you know, thermal management is huge and any
Speaker 4: on a mechanical device with transmissions. They are very, very
Speaker 4: dependent on working at specific temperatures. Transmission is fluid itself,
Speaker 4: will break down after about two hundred and thirty degrees.
Speaker 4: You get up to sixties to sixty to seventy and
Speaker 4: you rapidly deteriorating the life of that transmission.
Speaker 3: When do you need a transmission cooler?
Speaker 4: You know, primarily most coolers is used. You know what,
Speaker 4: I'd like to see them on trucks, on RVs, anything
Speaker 4: that's pulling a lot of weight, so you can get
Speaker 4: that heat away from there.
Speaker 3: Can anyone add a transmission cooler to any vehicle, bab.
Speaker 4: I would say on some of the older vehicles, yes,
Speaker 4: you definitely could. The plumbing was a lot more simple.
Speaker 4: The plumbing on today's vehicles a lot more complicated. If
Speaker 4: you don't know what you're doing, you can cause yourself
Speaker 4: big issues.
Speaker 3: Very interesting three oh three seven to one to three
Speaker 3: talk seven one, three, eight, two five five. Lucas is
Speaker 3: the one that talked to Mark yesterday, and uh we
Speaker 3: were discussing that a little earlier in the show, and
Speaker 3: to I want Lucas to recap his problem and Mark
Speaker 3: can take that, and so, uh, let's talk about it.
Speaker 3: Lucas you called yesterday and just really for those listening now,
Speaker 3: just recap your problem in general.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Sure, So it ended a lease at a property recently
Speaker 17: and they we were on a month to month lease,
Speaker 17: and despite that fact, they're trying to charge us an
Speaker 17: early move out feet even though we have email documentation
Speaker 17: stating yeah, you're good to go, there's no pot.
Speaker 3: Well, when did your This is what I didn't understand.
Speaker 3: Then I'll let it's Mark's case here. When was the
Speaker 3: lease up? What date was the lease up? Looks like
Speaker 3: September first, one September?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 3: Or is that on the thirty day?
Speaker 18: That was after the thirty day?
Speaker 3: When when was your actual lease up August first? Are
Speaker 3: they claiming that when you stayed after August first, it
Speaker 3: reverted to a new one year lease.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 15: I think they're just stating we didn't give them proper notice,
Speaker 15: but we define.
Speaker 3: Okay, And what would proper notice be according to the lease.
Speaker 16: I have to look back, but it may be.
Speaker 5: I think it's thirty days because the lease, the lease
Speaker 5: converts to after twelve months. The lease, if you do
Speaker 5: not give them notice that you're moving out, converts to
Speaker 5: month to month at a higher rate.
Speaker 3: Is that correct?
Speaker 16: Correct?
Speaker 3: And then you need to get thirty days then you
Speaker 3: need to then what then? Where did they even come
Speaker 3: up with early termination?
Speaker 15: Because they corresponding to any call.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they switched managers, is what I believe. He but
Speaker 3: it makes hey, it makes.
Speaker 5: The old manager Levi? Levi was the old manager, correct,
Speaker 5: But I understand that.
Speaker 3: But either manager can read that he had a month
Speaker 3: to month lease and had to give thirty days notice.
Speaker 3: So what the charge that they gave you? Are they
Speaker 3: claiming you you left early on the month to month
Speaker 3: or left early on a year.
Speaker 15: They're not making any kind of claim. They're simply giving
Speaker 15: me an invoice.
Speaker 3: And not talking. Okay, well, on the invoice, how does
Speaker 3: it delineate mark? Did we actually get a copy of
Speaker 3: that invoice? How does that see the invoice? Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what I want to How does it delineate the charges
Speaker 3: to come up with that charge?
Speaker 18: Yeah, it just says early termination fee.
Speaker 3: In addition to is that the only thing you're being
Speaker 3: charged early termination?
Speaker 15: There's some for rated rents and utilities, but that's basically.
Speaker 5: It, and then early termination, but there is no early termination.
Speaker 5: He actually asked, listen to this.
Speaker 3: This is may eighth.
Speaker 5: Hi, Levi, our plan is to carry the lease to
Speaker 5: the end of August, so we would do the month
Speaker 5: to month lease for July and August. Can you let
Speaker 5: me know what we need to sign to.
Speaker 3: Make this so?
Speaker 5: And then Levi, the current manager at the time, replies,
Speaker 5: you do not need to sign another contract as your
Speaker 5: current contract has verbage that makes it automatically roll to
Speaker 5: a month to month basis unless written notice is provided that.
Speaker 3: You're moving out. The only thing we need from you
Speaker 3: is a notice to vacate.
Speaker 5: This can be provided thirty days prior to you moving
Speaker 5: out of your apartment.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 15: That's right.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, so now what action have they taken.
Speaker 15: The new management company has contacted me about the fee
Speaker 15: ands of you an invoice, you know what.
Speaker 3: I tell him, They haven't actually taken anything. Did Did
Speaker 3: you get your deposit back?
Speaker 5: No, if you took out the if you took out
Speaker 5: the termination fee and you applied the deposit to other stuff.
Speaker 3: Do they owe you a deposit or not? They do?
Speaker 3: How much of it?
Speaker 15: The majority a couple hundred dollars deposit?
Speaker 5: Okay, so we're talking about a couple of hundred bucks.
Speaker 5: Did you move into your new place. Yet I tell
Speaker 5: them to pound sand ensue me, and then if they
Speaker 5: actually go through with it, I can't see in a
Speaker 5: million that's.
Speaker 3: Right since they didn't take the money yet.
Speaker 5: Yeah, talking a couple hundred bucks, and if they do
Speaker 5: sue you, then you counter sue them for them.
Speaker 3: Mark, what do you mean a couple of hundred In
Speaker 3: other words, he would have gotten a couple hundred, is
Speaker 3: what you're saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he only would have got a couple hundred back.
Speaker 5: In fact, I might even go a step further. If
Speaker 5: I really didn't like these people, I might actually sue
Speaker 5: them for the deposit.
Speaker 3: I might just do that.
Speaker 5: Reading all the correspondence between you and the old management,
Speaker 5: I have no idea why the new management is even trying.
Speaker 11: To do this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, makes no sense, But dude, you're in the driver's seat. Man,
Speaker 5: You're one hundred percent in the driver's seat. With the
Speaker 5: exception of a couple hundred dollars. They're not going to
Speaker 5: put anything on your credit. If they did, they'd be crazy.
Speaker 5: If they took you to court and won, then they
Speaker 5: could put something on your credit, but they'd.

Speaker 8: notice of your intent to move out on September second?
Speaker 18: I believe it was July thirty first, Yes.
Speaker 3: Did they?
Speaker 4: How did you say?
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, wait a minute. July thirty first, you
Speaker 3: gave him thirty days notice, which you should have done
Speaker 3: so then at the end of August you would have
Speaker 3: been moved out.
Speaker 5: I'm staring at the email guys July thirty first. Yea,
Speaker 5: he wrote, we are currently on a month to month lease.
Speaker 5: Our last day will be September one, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: But he moved out September second.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then he even put total clarify beginning September second,
Speaker 5: we will no longer be in the apartment.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But let me explain something to You're not allowed
Speaker 3: to pick the rental period. If the period ran I
Speaker 3: don't know when it ran, mark, but listen, if it
Speaker 3: ran from the first to the end of the month,
Speaker 3: and you start another rental period, it is another month. Okay,
Speaker 3: just you know which would mean this this is their
Speaker 3: this could be their reasoning. So if you're starting another
Speaker 3: month September second, that would obligate you for September, and
Speaker 3: if you did not give thirty days notice for that,
Speaker 3: it would obligate she for October.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but this was written on July thirty first, so
Speaker 5: he gave them thirty days notes, right.
Speaker 3: Mark, he did thirty day's notice, And if the rental
Speaker 3: period was at the end of August, he should not
Speaker 3: have stayed there September first and second unless they allowed
Speaker 3: him to and charged and pro rated rent. But many
Speaker 3: times they don't allow you on a month to month.
Speaker 3: He actually said, there's pro rated on his invoice. Did
Speaker 3: they pro rate for September first and second?
Speaker 15: Yeah, Well we did leave on the first, by the way,
Speaker 15: but it was pro rated for the first.
Speaker 3: They charged you for the day you left, right, yes.
Speaker 3: Can I ask you something, Why didn't you just leave
Speaker 3: at the end of August.
Speaker 11: Like you said, timing with the moves to a new Okay,
Speaker 11: all right, all right?
Speaker 3: So they did charge you for that one day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the guy replied the current manager, thanks for
Speaker 5: sending this over. I will put your notice in. Please
Speaker 5: send me your new address. I mean, Mark, it's crazy, he.
Speaker 3: Replied, before he held over September first. I get what
Speaker 3: you're saying, Mark, but what I'm thinking is they're automated.
Speaker 3: They're looking at this thing. They see Wait a minute,
Speaker 3: month to month he left September first, that's another thirty days.
Speaker 3: How much was your rent every month?
Speaker 15: Oh, about twenty six hundred caracole exactly?
Speaker 3: I think that, okay? And how much are they charging
Speaker 3: you for early termination? Fifty one.
Speaker 16: Eighteen.
Speaker 3: That's so, that's exactly what they're doing. Hey, they're charging
Speaker 3: him for the month for September and for the thirty
Speaker 3: days for October.
Speaker 5: I know exactly what they're charging him for. But that's
Speaker 5: not what the old manager agreed to. But the old
Speaker 5: manager the manager agreed.
Speaker 3: That he would be out at the end of August,
Speaker 3: and he stayed till September.
Speaker 1: First.
Speaker 5: One, you have all the emails too, Yeah, but Mark,
Speaker 5: the emails tell the entire story.
Speaker 3: I don't know why we see it so differently. Mark, listen,
Speaker 3: please listen. I'm not disagreeing with you. I agree with
Speaker 3: you that the manager acknowledged he would be out at
Speaker 3: the end of August. Enough said, now that manager.
Speaker 5: Leaves all of a sudden, Well, he never says the
Speaker 5: end of August. He never says that anywhere. It's always
Speaker 5: September first. Okay, You're not allowed to.
Speaker 3: Pick what if he said I'm gonna be out September sixth,
Speaker 3: You're not allowed to simply pick your exit date. It's
Speaker 3: thirty days from the beginning of the next cycle. It's
Speaker 3: not just any thirty days you want. Go check the law.
Speaker 3: I'm positive on that. I am absolutely positive unless the
Speaker 3: lease allows it. So if he gave thirty days July
Speaker 3: thirty first, it was for the next thirty day period
Speaker 3: of the rent period, not any thirty days he wanted,
Speaker 3: and it would end it at the end of August.
Speaker 3: That previous manager said, okay, okay. Even though the guy
Speaker 3: said I'm going to be out September first or second,
Speaker 3: that is notice. But it doesn't It doesn't release him
Speaker 3: from the next holdover period unless they allow him to
Speaker 3: win the lease. I don't really know the its, ends
Speaker 3: and butts of every single word of that lease. So
Speaker 3: we agree he gave proper notice to be out at
Speaker 3: the end of August, he gave proper notice? Did he
Speaker 3: give proper notice to be out by the end of September?
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I did. Then, why would they charge
Speaker 3: him for the pro rated day. No, that they're going
Speaker 3: to charge him for the pro rat You're absolutely right.
Speaker 3: That would indicate you're right. That would indicate that they
Speaker 3: accepted that term.
Speaker 5: Say email, let me read this one. I just you
Speaker 5: just sent over a three and six month lease option.
Speaker 5: I wanted one or two month lease period.
Speaker 3: What do I need to do this?
Speaker 5: I'm paraphrasing, and it says, once your contract has gone
Speaker 5: month to month, you can continue you on month to
Speaker 5: month without being locked into a contract any further, let
Speaker 5: me know if you'll be any of any of assistance.
Speaker 3: And he's not locked into a contract meaning a term.
Speaker 3: But when you revert from a written lease to a
Speaker 3: month to month, the previous terms of that month of
Speaker 3: that lease apply as far as notice and rental period.
Speaker 3: You can't just make a new rental period. For example,
Speaker 3: at the end of July at the end of his lease,
Speaker 3: he can't if the period went from the first to
Speaker 3: the thirtieth or first to thirty First, you can't at
Speaker 3: the end of your lease say from now on, I'm
Speaker 3: going to go from the fifteenth to the fifteenth. You
Speaker 3: can't do that. It takes on the same exact characteristic.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't matter. You're right. They charge him for
Speaker 3: one day. It kind of indicated that, okay, you you
Speaker 3: held over an extra day, we're charging him for that day.
Speaker 3: Then they talk, on top of it, basically are charging
Speaker 3: him for another sixty days. That part I don't understand.
Speaker 3: I do think he's going to win because it's ambiguous
Speaker 3: at best, and I think that's the part that you
Speaker 3: have strong. But what we were trying to do is
Speaker 3: figure out what kind of reasoning did they have behind it,
Speaker 3: because at first it seems so arbitrary that they were
Speaker 3: charging him an extra fifty two hundred bucks. And then
Speaker 3: I realized these people in their minds are saying, well,
Speaker 3: you stayed for September by staying an extra day, and
Speaker 3: you didn't give us thirty days for October, so you
Speaker 3: stayed for October two. I think it's ridiculous. So I
Speaker 3: do think he'll win. Lucas let us know how it
Speaker 3: works out, though, and les Mark said, if you want
Speaker 3: to refute it. Don't refute it. Just wait for them
Speaker 3: to come after you and put up your defense. I
Speaker 3: think that's good advice. Three oh three seven to one
Speaker 3: three talks seven one three eight two five five. Barbara
Speaker 3: has a question on a transmission. Barbara, Jeff fixed with
Speaker 3: us from kimmera transmission. What's going on?
Speaker 19: Well, I have a twenty fourteen Subaru outback. There's nothing
Speaker 19: wrong with the transmission. But what I'm curious about is
Speaker 19: that it has the paddles, so you can make it
Speaker 19: an manual or you can leave it automatic. And I
Speaker 19: wondered if I should put it in the manual on
Speaker 19: to months.
Speaker 3: Or you know, that's a good question, Jeff, exactly what
Speaker 3: does that do? Well? I have paddles too. What does
Speaker 3: that do?
Speaker 4: Yeah? It gives you control, or somewhat control override of
Speaker 4: the computer itself, because the computer's making calculated decisions when
Speaker 4: to create a shift, depending on load demand, depending on
Speaker 4: whether you're cruising, whether your foots on the brake, so on.
Speaker 13: And so forth.
Speaker 3: What if I shift down and it's going too high
Speaker 3: of an RPM.
Speaker 4: And the computer will override you in order to save
Speaker 4: that car? The computer is designed to say, you know, what.
Speaker 4: Tom's an idiot. Don't let this guy drive this car
Speaker 4: and I'm going to take over.
Speaker 3: You don't give me an idea when it wouldn't take
Speaker 3: over and when I would do most.
Speaker 4: Of the time, you know, because I use mine quite
Speaker 4: a bit too. I also have engine breaking on mine,
Speaker 4: the exhaust break.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 4: Inside the mountains, you know, you're pulling down hills or whatnot.
Speaker 4: You want to control your speed without riding the brake,
Speaker 4: pull it down the gear Let the truck or the
Speaker 4: car actually help keep you from descending too quickly. Same
Speaker 4: thing when you're when you're going up and down hill,
Speaker 4: up and downhill, and that transmission is getting really really
Speaker 4: shift busy. It's going into fourth and it jumps into fifth.
Speaker 4: It can only stay there for a few seconds. It
Speaker 4: dropped back to the fourth. Well, you know what, take
Speaker 4: the computer out of it, drop it in the force,
Speaker 4: eat the gas a little bit, and save that car.
Speaker 14: A little.
Speaker 3: Okay does that sound right to you, Barbi? Do you
Speaker 3: understand what you're saying?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 19: Can I live in the mountains, and I was just
Speaker 19: wondering if.
Speaker 4: I should use that like a manual, especially in the mountains,
Speaker 4: that things from it saves your brakes when you're pulling hills.
Speaker 4: It's you believe it or not. It sounds like you're
Speaker 4: going to use more gas when you know because you're
Speaker 4: not using fifth or you're not using fourth, but you'll
Speaker 4: actually save because you're not deep into the throttle trying
Speaker 4: to keep that car going.
Speaker 3: So you're talking about both going down the mountain and
Speaker 3: up the mountain.
Speaker 19: Yes, but even though I've lived up here for forty years,
Speaker 19: I know the I know the terrain, but I just
Speaker 19: didn't know if it was good to use the paddles.
Speaker 4: That's what they're there for.
Speaker 3: So what Jeff, Jeff, what you're saying. So, when climbing
Speaker 3: a mountain, if I'm going up the mountain and it
Speaker 3: shifts the fifth gear or fourth gear, whatever my highest
Speaker 3: gear is, I'm keeping I am the engines working harder
Speaker 3: than it would if I let it down.
Speaker 4: Shift to those cases where you're pulling the hill and
Speaker 4: you know, shifts the fifth and then you actually start
Speaker 4: to lose speed, so it drops the fourth, ketchup speed
Speaker 4: and then it goes back.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Okay, that's when.
Speaker 4: You want to pull it down and just hold a
Speaker 4: consistent speed with a car's comfortable, okay.
Speaker 3: But if you go too fast, it'll switch anyway. Even
Speaker 3: if you have the paddle right.
Speaker 4: On today's newer cars, the fourteen, it's not quite as sensitive.
Speaker 4: But you know if you're driving in around a twenty, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know that that thing's going to tell us. It's
Speaker 4: going to know that you're moron, and it's going to shift.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Barbara. We got more coming up.

Speaker 3: three oh three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 3: So what's going on? How can we help you? It's
Speaker 3: car Day today. Brenda has a question about small claims
Speaker 3: core Hi, Brenda, what's going on with you?
Speaker 10: Well, I've talked to you in the past, and I've
Speaker 10: got my Small Claims court. It's come up for mediation
Speaker 10: next week.
Speaker 3: Now, what did you call? Did you talk to us
Speaker 3: about the case itself in the past.
Speaker 10: Yes, it basically was. I moved from an apartment complex,
Speaker 10: gave them all the notice. They never returned my deposit.
Speaker 10: A year later, when I tried to move again, I
Speaker 10: found that they also put a derogatory comment on my
Speaker 10: rental history saying I owed them money, but they.
Speaker 3: Never contacted you after you moved out one way or
Speaker 3: the other.
Speaker 10: No, they said that they put a copy of it
Speaker 10: on the door for the apartment of the old apartment,
Speaker 10: but it was after I had already vacated it and
Speaker 10: I had given them my forwarding address. I have proof
Speaker 10: of mail through postal service that I didn't get anything
Speaker 10: from them in the timeframe the sixty days or anytime
Speaker 10: after that. So I'm getting ready small Claims court and
Speaker 10: Rapo County was sixty or six months. My mediation is
Speaker 10: next week, and I found out that they're going to
Speaker 10: have an attorney that's representing there at the mediation, trailing me.
Speaker 3: A little nervous. No, it doesn't matter. It's still the
Speaker 3: same relaxed rules that that doesn't matter. Do not let
Speaker 3: that scare you, Okay, okay, so hold on, hold on.
Speaker 3: Are you suing for the trouble damages? Yes? Okay?
Speaker 1: And and for them to.
Speaker 10: Remove that derogatory comment because I was not able to
Speaker 10: move to another apartment in May of two thousand.
Speaker 3: Where does that derogatory comment show up? Rental history had.
Speaker 10: Had to show up in rental history?
Speaker 3: What does that mean? Mark? Excuse me, I'm not sure
Speaker 3: what that means. I don't know of any place where
Speaker 3: people go to see a rental list. I would assume
Speaker 3: Lexus and Exus Brenda. Where is it showing up? Is
Speaker 3: it showing up? Is it on your credit report? No?
Speaker 10: No, it's not on the credit report. When I applied,
Speaker 10: the property manager that I applied to the new place
Speaker 10: with said that they found something in my history that said.
Speaker 3: That that's interesting. You know, I wasn't actually I wasn't
Speaker 3: actually aware of that. If landlords communicate on a portal
Speaker 3: or I'm sure it's either Lexus and Nexus or core
Speaker 3: Logic or something along those lines. Absolutely. In fact, experience
Speaker 3: might even have that. Okay, so keep going. What's going on, Brenda?
Speaker 10: So we're going to do the mediation. I'm pretty confident
Speaker 10: that I'm going to win this.
Speaker 5: Pease, let me interrupt you real quick. What you need
Speaker 5: to do when it comes to the treble damages. Did
Speaker 5: you pull down the actual statute about treble damages in
Speaker 5: the deposit?
Speaker 10: I didn't pull it down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you need to pull it down, print it out,
Speaker 3: and just keep harping on it.
Speaker 5: They had to return that money within thirty or sixty days,
Speaker 5: and if they didn't, that's all you care about right now.
Speaker 19: Okay.
Speaker 10: But they're also saying that I owe them money and
Speaker 10: they sent me.
Speaker 3: How much do they say you owe?
Speaker 10: Like thirteen dollars?
Speaker 3: Boy, they better have I wonder how there's supposed to communicate,
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 5: What are they claiming? They left literally a notice on
Speaker 5: your door? Was that before you moved out?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 10: They left a notice on after I moved out? And
Speaker 10: what's funny is gone?
Speaker 3: I mean, how do you even judge it? Are there really?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 3: Wait, hold on a second. They would literally say that
Speaker 3: to the judge, we put this notice up after she
Speaker 3: moved out.
Speaker 10: Well, they're saying that they sent it but I have
Speaker 10: proved through I did a forwarding, a drill through the mail,
Speaker 10: you know, from the old address to the new address,
Speaker 10: and I have pictures of everything that came in through
Speaker 10: the from.
Speaker 3: The hold on a second. Okay, so so so I
Speaker 3: think you're going to win, well.
Speaker 10: I am, But the question I have, the second question
Speaker 10: was it's a it's an apartment complex. Even if I
Speaker 10: win and get a judgment to have them remove the
Speaker 10: derogatory comment and I can show that to people, how
Speaker 10: do I ever get money collected from these people or
Speaker 10: get anything even if I get a judgment.
Speaker 3: Well, well, no, if you get a judgment, you probably
Speaker 3: will collect from them easier than you would an individual.
Speaker 3: Oh really, Oh absolutely, Well, A couple things you can do.
Speaker 3: You can hire an attorney to do it on contingency,
Speaker 3: a collection attorney, or you can do what's called interrogatories,
Speaker 3: where you ask she's going to get paid?
Speaker 5: I mean if they say treble damages, unless if it's
Speaker 5: like some individual landlord it's gone bankrupt or something. But
Speaker 5: what you do on the credit part, you need to
Speaker 5: figure out where it came from. You got to figure
Speaker 5: out was it Lexus and exus, was it one of
Speaker 5: the other ones.
Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, what I'm looking at here is uh, you
Speaker 3: didn't you mention core logic? Did you mention that? Yea
Speaker 3: core logic? How do you know?
Speaker 1: Hold on?
Speaker 3: How did you know about core logic? It's called safe
Speaker 3: rent core because have you used it before? I've never
Speaker 3: used it. But they also do like banking history okay, okay,
Speaker 3: And then there's something called real Page, and there's something
Speaker 3: called TransUnion, Smart Move and Experience Rent Bureau.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they all have their own, but it doesn't come
Speaker 5: up under your credit history is completely different, same with banking.
Speaker 5: But what you got, let's say it came from Lexus
Speaker 5: and Nexus. You need to dispute it just like you
Speaker 5: would anything else. So if you win this case and
Speaker 5: you get to treble damages or even win it in
Speaker 5: mediation and they write it up, the judge signs it,
Speaker 5: then you'll go to Lexus and Nexus and you'll upload
Speaker 5: that and say this is total BS.
Speaker 3: In fact, here's the proof. We gotta take a break,
Speaker 3: all right, we got to take a break. We got
Speaker 3: more coming right up. Go with a sure thing Denver's

Speaker 3: one three talks seven one three eight two five five. Okay,
Speaker 3: so let's take some calls, see what's on your mind.
Speaker 3: We have another two hours to go, of course, retward
Speaker 3: the end of this one. Jeff, I have a couple
Speaker 3: texts here maybe you can weigh in on and are there,
Speaker 3: Jeff and you you talked about the constant velocity transmissions?
Speaker 3: What do you call them again?
Speaker 4: Continuously variable?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, what does that mean? I'm asking that and
Speaker 3: then I'll go to the text.
Speaker 4: It literally describes what it's doing. So you've got two
Speaker 4: opposing cones with a belt on there, and they can
Speaker 4: change size large to small, so as opposed to actually
Speaker 4: switching gears with a specific ratio, they can move anywhere
Speaker 4: in between?
Speaker 3: Aren't they more efficient?
Speaker 4: Yes, they can definitely be more efficient, more durable has
Speaker 4: yet to be.
Speaker 3: But shouldn't they last longer? That's not the text either.
Speaker 3: I'll get to the text. But in my opinion, if
Speaker 3: you have this belt going up and down a cone
Speaker 3: for different drive ratios and you're not grinding gears and
Speaker 3: switching gears and having clutches and all of that.
Speaker 4: Well you still have clutches inside there. You still have
Speaker 4: to have forward clutch, you still have to have a
Speaker 4: reverse clutch.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean you don't have
Speaker 3: as much moving parts.
Speaker 4: Right, correct, You do not have as many moving parts.
Speaker 3: So why aren't they are reliable?
Speaker 4: You know, with more with more technology and with more
Speaker 4: engineering that they potentially could be. It's just not that's
Speaker 4: not what being put on the market.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the text asks are there any of those
Speaker 3: that are better than others as far as manufacturers?
Speaker 4: You know, I'm actually as far as the average daily
Speaker 4: driver where you know, you've got people out there in
Speaker 4: Nissan's toyotas, Honda's Subaru, in my opinion, is probably the
Speaker 4: most durable CVT on the market. Along with that, wind
Speaker 4: failures do occur. The price tag goes up on them too.
Speaker 4: I mean, you'll replacement on a super brow TV it
Speaker 4: can cost you upwards of ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: I mean to me that it just sounds brilliant to
Speaker 3: me that you it's not inside.
Speaker 4: It's literally stealing snowmobile technology. But instead of using a
Speaker 4: magnetic clutch, we've got a torquenverter in order to separate
Speaker 4: the power from the engine to the transmission.
Speaker 3: Okay, now what about then, let's see that transmission compared
Speaker 3: to just conventional transmissions. Conventional transmissions, what would be the advantage.
Speaker 4: Primarily of the durability, especially if you're getting in the market.
Speaker 3: And then somebody, then somebody wanted to know. This was
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago. I put it away about do
Speaker 3: electric cars have transmissions?
Speaker 4: You know, they do not.
Speaker 6: They're direct drive, so.
Speaker 3: That means it just literally goes straight to the wheel.
Speaker 4: Go straight to the wheel. Now, they're changing a lot
Speaker 4: of the dynamics as of hell, they're going to be
Speaker 4: doing that in order to increase the suspension abilities and whatnot.
Speaker 4: But it's actually really smart technology and a lot of
Speaker 4: a lot less loss getting to the ground.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you a little power means little slower and
Speaker 3: more powers faster. That's simple, pretty much. All right, We

Speaker 3: out like six years ago. We did a private fund
Speaker 3: and then I wanted to move into general investing for
Speaker 3: people based on everything I've done for myself. One hundred
Speaker 3: percent has been for myself up until the point we
Speaker 3: got registered with the securities people and became a public firm.
Speaker 3: So we're able to serve the public and I'm very
Speaker 3: proud of it. We're very very happy, and I just

Speaker 3: Never would we suggest anything we're not doing, and that's it,
Speaker 3: and we absolutely positively invest your money counsel you about
Speaker 3: your money. Let me explain why I say that the
Speaker 3: financial industry. I'm not saying it's misleading and I'm not
Speaker 3: saying it's bad. Please listen, But ninety eight percent of
Speaker 3: all financial advisors, even big firms that you think are
Speaker 3: financial advisors, they're not truly doing the investing or the
Speaker 3: counseling of your money. They are asking you questions and
Speaker 3: they have relationships with you. They're nice people. Then what
Speaker 3: they do is they get your risk tolerance and your appetite,
Speaker 3: your goals, your objections, and then what they do is
Speaker 3: they take that fund you have or the money you have,
Speaker 3: and they place it with a broker dealer with like money.
Speaker 3: They do not on a day to day basis deal
Speaker 3: with your money. I promise you that not ninety eight
Speaker 3: percent of them. And they're middlemen. They make a spread. Now,
Speaker 3: sometimes they do a great job for you. That's great
Speaker 3: people that do that. Then you have people that want
Speaker 3: boutique like we do, direct communication, limited size. It's really
Speaker 3: an extension of what I'm doing for myself, and of
Speaker 3: course it's geared toward your goals. And then you have
Speaker 3: people like Mark and Ross Kominsky and people who do
Speaker 3: everything for themselves. Then there are rare people who do that.
Speaker 3: But trust me when I tell you it takes a
Speaker 3: lot of time, you know, to do your own stuff
Speaker 3: like that, and then you have a lot of day traders.
Speaker 3: We're not talking about any of that. What I'm talking about,
Speaker 3: basically is what we do is hold your hand and
Speaker 3: do everything that we do. So if you want help
Speaker 3: like that, three oh three seven seven one help seven
Speaker 3: seven one four three five seven that's me and my team. Yes,
Speaker 3: I am an owner, I am an investor, and I
Speaker 3: do stand to profit from it, meaning we charge fees
Speaker 3: that those are disclaimers. I want to tell you three
Speaker 3: oh three seven seven one help is Wave eight Wealth
Speaker 3: Management dot com or W eight WM dot com. Mark says,
Speaker 3: that's get something simpler. But anyway, that's what we have
Speaker 3: right now. You can also go Waveightcapital dot com. So listen.
Speaker 3: One thing I want to mention though, when it comes
Speaker 3: to and I want to, I want to ask Mark
Speaker 3: about this because I came across this guy and maybe
Speaker 3: I'll have him on the show sometime. It is fascinating
Speaker 3: to me, fascinating Mark. He talks about the money anxiety Index.
Speaker 3: Have you heard of that? The money anxiety index. They
Speaker 3: I didn't realize you referring to something like the VICS.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's called I don't know if
Speaker 3: if what you're referring to is that, But there's actually
Speaker 3: a money anxiety Index, meaning they they pull people on
Speaker 3: how they feel about the economy and about all of
Speaker 3: the things going on, and they and what this one
Speaker 3: professor did is he started tracking the money anxiety and
Speaker 3: how it affects ETFs. The reason he went to ETFs
Speaker 3: is because they're not exactly like mutual funds, but they
Speaker 3: are big funds exchange traded funds, and the money that
Speaker 3: flows in and out has a direct correlation to anxiety indecks,
Speaker 3: and how they invest has a lot to do with
Speaker 3: anxiety indecks. And he did a fascinating thing by tracking that,
Speaker 3: and he could almost damn near predict the outcomes of
Speaker 3: certain ETFs based on the anxiety index. And he put
Speaker 3: together a plan, one of the plans that we're following.
Speaker 3: We love this guy, and also it's one of the
Speaker 3: strategies to use. But he's proposing something for the future,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna get him on the show about it.
Speaker 3: Listen to this Mark. He's saying that banks around the world,
Speaker 3: around the country are kind of screwing people when they
Speaker 3: don't because they either do two things. Some have the
Speaker 3: audacity to charge people for accounts. I mean, really, to
Speaker 3: charge you for accounts like you might keep a business
Speaker 3: account there with thousands of dollars running in and out
Speaker 3: of it every day. Yeah, and make sure but that's
Speaker 3: few and far, yes. But then they have some that
Speaker 3: pay very low interest, right, very few have any right.
Speaker 3: And then you have some that pay a pretty oker
Speaker 3: amount of interest. Okay, so you have three categories. People
Speaker 3: who charge, people who charge pay a little interest, people
Speaker 3: pay a normal kind of alright, decent interest. This guy
Speaker 3: had a different theory and and again no one's doing
Speaker 3: it right now. But when you talk to him, I
Speaker 3: know you'll like him because he's not a nut. I mean,
Speaker 3: this guy is a behavioral scientist and a neuroscientist, behavioral
Speaker 3: scientist that went into economics, and he is proposing that
Speaker 3: there are that there be bank accounts established that mirror
Speaker 3: the ETF funds, so banks can actually, so when you
Speaker 3: have I have a regular checking account, you actually make
Speaker 3: money as if that money's invested. Well, Charles Schwab has
Speaker 3: it does stuff like that. Well, yeah, but it may
Speaker 3: do things like that, but it's not a This is
Speaker 3: a guaranteed account, meaning that you would not have any
Speaker 3: losses ever, and it would only grow based on what
Speaker 3: they return. Okay, Anyway, I just thought it was fascinating,
Speaker 3: and again there's a lot of fascinating stuff going on
Speaker 3: in the industry and a lot of people believe. And
Speaker 3: I don't know how you're feeling, Mark, since you do
Speaker 3: a lot of your own individual investing, how do you
Speaker 3: what do you feel? What do you like to do
Speaker 3: around elections? When it comes to investing, what do you
Speaker 3: like to do?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Boy, I've gone either way. Two years ago, I actually liquidated.
Speaker 5: Now, when I say liquidated accounts, you got to remember
Speaker 5: I am never talking about my irais most no, no,
Speaker 5: of course, of course, I rarely make changes in those
Speaker 5: unless if I see something really coming up that I
Speaker 5: want to liquidate one thing and buy another. So what
Speaker 5: I'm talking about is more or less trading accounts that
Speaker 5: are qualified.
Speaker 3: So do you like do you like being in the
Speaker 3: security of cash during elections? No, not necessarily. I have
Speaker 3: went all cash.
Speaker 5: Probably two years ago I did go all cash and
Speaker 5: it probably ended up costing me some money, so I
Speaker 5: have done that this year. It has nothing to do
Speaker 5: really with the election. But I'm probably going to take
Speaker 5: some massive gains this year, more or less for tax purposes.
Speaker 5: I want to get them done and out of the
Speaker 5: way and take them this year, and I might jump
Speaker 5: right back into some of those some of those stocks
Speaker 5: when they go down, because I do think some stuff
Speaker 5: is way over price that I'm in. I think I
Speaker 5: can take some pretty good gains right now, and I
Speaker 5: don't see a downside in it because I'd find them,
Speaker 5: I'd find it hard to believe some of them are
Speaker 5: going to go up much higher.
Speaker 3: And if they do, then I'll jump into something else. Okay, Now,
Speaker 3: do you believe that based on your own portfolios and
Speaker 3: stuff and your observations without getting I'm not asking what
Speaker 3: you want or what you like or what you I'm
Speaker 3: asking you during the four years that Trump was in
Speaker 3: office compared to the four years of Biden, your stock
Speaker 3: portfolio and the stock market from your perspective, people we're
Speaker 3: not talking about We're talking his perspective only. And if
Speaker 3: you want to give your perspective, you can. But what
Speaker 3: have you found, Because really and truly, I don't believe
Speaker 3: the stock market suffered under Biden.
Speaker 5: I've made more the last two years and I did
Speaker 5: the prior two years. I could tell you that, I'd
Speaker 5: have to go and look what about under Trump? Well
Speaker 5: that's what I'm saying. And so I made more under
Speaker 5: the last two years in the stock market than I
Speaker 5: did prior to the last two years. I mean, I've
Speaker 5: had incredible games the last two years, but a lot
Speaker 5: of that are the stocks I'm in in AI. AI
Speaker 5: is massive, Microsoft, Walmart is just Walmart and Microsoft have
Speaker 5: absolutely killed for me. Microsoft, I'm probably up, you know,
Speaker 5: thirty thirty five percent. Walmart I think I'm almost up
Speaker 5: sixty percent. It's just some of the stocks have been incredible.
Speaker 5: Walmart split. I think when they split, my average share
Speaker 5: cost was around forty. If I recall now it's eighty.
Speaker 5: That's a double.
Speaker 3: Man. Now listen to this. I'm under Trump. The S
Speaker 3: and P five hundred rows forty eight percent. Yeah, now
Speaker 3: listen this, and and you're going to pick up on this.
Speaker 3: I hope under Biden it rose fifty percent. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: but let's take a look at what that means. Forty
Speaker 3: eight percent under Trump versus fifty percent under Biden. But
Speaker 3: the fifty percent under Biden was after a new low,
Speaker 3: or not new low like depression, but a low from
Speaker 3: COVID nineteen. So it's the same thing they do with
Speaker 3: employment numbers. All that's right, that's right. He came, that's right.
Speaker 3: In other words, he took it over in such a time.
Speaker 3: He And when they say Trump left us with this
Speaker 3: and left us with a bad stock market and bad unemployment,
Speaker 3: it was COVID nineteen that did that. How can people
Speaker 3: not take that into consideration?
Speaker 5: And people do take it in too consideration. Yeah, wellmart
Speaker 5: I don't think that.
Speaker 3: No, not just the smart ones.
Speaker 5: I think the average person listening right now realizes when
Speaker 5: they say, oh, we've had the biggest job growth ever,
Speaker 5: Trump ran it into the ground, they know that was COVID.
Speaker 3: They're not morons. They were stuck in their house for
Speaker 3: two years. Yeah, but you'd when they were having the debate,
Speaker 3: how I mean, I saw CNN.
Speaker 5: I understand talking points. That's now I'm talking real people,
Speaker 5: real people that are listening right now know what happened
Speaker 5: with COVID. My god, you'd have to be dumb not
Speaker 5: to well, of course, I just have more I think,
Speaker 5: you know what I think.
Speaker 3: I think the average Joe's smarter than you do. How's that?
Speaker 3: What do you mean smarter? I think they're smarter.
Speaker 5: They they're more logical than your thinking. I realize I
Speaker 5: realized the talking points on MSNBC. But I'm telling you,
Speaker 5: even if people are voting for Harris, I can't imagine
Speaker 5: they believe the crap coming out of the mouth of
Speaker 5: these people.
Speaker 3: Here are some raw numbers. If you take COVID nineteen
Speaker 3: out of the mix and you take raw performance, the
Speaker 3: S and P five hundred increased sixty five percent under
Speaker 3: Trump's full term. Sixty Yeah, that's fake math because it
Speaker 3: didn't happen, big deal, you must agree all that. No,
Speaker 3: it actually did happen sixty five.
Speaker 5: Percent only over a period of his administration, and Biden's
Speaker 5: went up forty eight percent. So the S and P
Speaker 5: a craze over his no mark over his full term,
Speaker 5: with much of the growth driven by corporate cuts into
Speaker 5: regulation and.
Speaker 3: Boosted business investments. So it and so in other words,
Speaker 3: Biden's was forty eight percent. But I would say that
Speaker 3: people who feel like they're better off this four years
Speaker 3: than the previous four years, I well, well, I'd like
Speaker 3: people to tell us. But the problem is people can't
Speaker 3: tell us without you know, spewing vulgarities and hate.
Speaker 5: The real bottom line is, and this is the part
Speaker 5: that most people see the price of stuff is so
Speaker 5: high right now. These prices are never gonna come down.
Speaker 5: And it just doesn't even matter why. But the bottom
Speaker 5: line is they spend too much money. I mean, that's true.
Speaker 5: I'm okay, we got to take a break.
Speaker 7: Mark.
Speaker 3: They're climbing all over me for this, so I'm going
Speaker 3: to take this break. I'm Tom Martino. We got more
Speaker 3: coming up. Go with a sure thing Denver's Best roofer

Speaker 3: You have a comment, Go ahead, Tony. What's going on
Speaker 3: with you? Tony?
Speaker 21: Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: I can, sir. What's happening Tony?
Speaker 21: Did either of you watch the Al Smith Dinner last night?
Speaker 3: No? I did not. I watched some of the highlights.
Speaker 3: Trump did really good.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I got to replay this joke he told it's clean,
Speaker 21: clean enough for you. Quote Chuck Schumer is here looking
Speaker 21: very glom. But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering
Speaker 21: how woke your party has become. If Kamala loses, you
Speaker 21: still have the chance to become the first woman president.
Speaker 21: I thought that was a great joke.
Speaker 3: Yes, now listen, what was this dinner we're talking about.
Speaker 21: It's the annual Al Smith's Dinner put on by the
Speaker 21: Archdiocese in New York.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait is that the one where
Speaker 3: where Gaffikin was Yeah? Oh, okay, I was. I'm sorry
Speaker 3: I didn't put that together.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So they've done it every every election cycle forever. I
Speaker 5: think the last time someone didn't show up. It was
Speaker 5: like Bob Dole or Mondale or someone from years ago Mondale.
Speaker 5: But I mean, like everybody shows up. Remember how contentious
Speaker 5: Hillary and Trump were. They both showed up, they took
Speaker 5: jabs at each other. But Kamala ran scared, decided not
Speaker 5: to come send a little video.
Speaker 3: And I didn't even watch the little video. It was ridiculous,
Speaker 3: and the archdiocese was pretty upset at her, and I
Speaker 3: think she lost a lot of Catholic votes. Honestly, Well
Speaker 3: that's odd that so that she really just snubbed them,
Speaker 3: snubbed them.
Speaker 5: Wow, Like how Kramer snubbed Jerry's ex girlfriend.
Speaker 3: God, you remember that?
Speaker 6: Huh?
Speaker 3: Three zero three seven to one to three talk seven
Speaker 3: one three eight two five five, Mark, you wanted to
Speaker 3: bring up Garrett.
Speaker 5: I did want to bring up Garrett. Bring up Garrett
Speaker 5: for us, Garrett I need. I haven't prepped anything with him.
Speaker 5: I've been talking about eight eight eight heating forever, on
Speaker 5: and off. In fact, Tom and I both have and
Speaker 5: I got I'm pulling up my text right now. I
Speaker 5: got a email. God, I'm so sorry. I this is
Speaker 5: kind of right off the cuff here. Hold on, hold on,
Speaker 5: hold on, hold on, I gotta find it because I
Speaker 5: want to say it verbatim for the listeners so they
Speaker 5: what that's special you guys are doing for forty five bucks.
Speaker 5: Everybody hears these specials all the time, and we honestly,
Speaker 5: even though we advertise them, a lot of people we
Speaker 5: know don't even think much about them because they're inundated
Speaker 5: with them this time of year. But I got an email, Garrett,
Speaker 5: from somebody that said, okay, boom, I'm going to read it,
Speaker 5: but I'm going to leave one part out. Just had
Speaker 5: eight eight eight heating come out for the inspection and clean,
Speaker 5: and oh boy, do they ever do a great job.
Speaker 5: The guy Joe Hannah. I assume that's one of your
Speaker 5: tech s, Garrett. Very good, very knowledgeable, and the clean
Speaker 5: was over two hours and way more in depth then
Speaker 5: and I'm not going to say who it was, and
Speaker 5: probably will use them for all future repairs and give
Speaker 5: them a five star review. Now, I'm not going to
Speaker 5: say who that was from, but it's someone I highly respect.
Speaker 3: And then the next day I got another one.
Speaker 5: So I don't know what you're doing for forty five bucks,
Speaker 5: but I wanted you to tell people because there is
Speaker 5: no one in the world that should not call for
Speaker 5: this for forty five dollars, So what's the deal man, Well.
Speaker 11: Thanks for saying that, March, But what we got going
Speaker 11: is our normal tune up we've been doing for years
Speaker 11: is just really in depth already, and if we do
Speaker 11: as much as we can do to make sure your
Speaker 11: fur instance and operating properly for the winner. But what
Speaker 11: we're really tired of is like our customers not getting
Speaker 11: what they pay for anymore. You know, you can go
Speaker 11: out to eat and everything's so expensive, a bad service.
Speaker 11: I really just don't like that, right, So we hire
Speaker 11: people with the servant's heart to train them well. And
Speaker 11: what we normally did for forty five dollars for your listeners,
Speaker 11: we're actually going to do it for thirty eight dollars.
Speaker 11: They can find that actually on my website. But what
Speaker 11: we decided to add is a complete blower cleaning, and
Speaker 11: what we've normally charged four hundred dollars for we're actually
Speaker 11: doing as part of our maintenance now and from here
Speaker 11: on out, that's what we're doing. So we pull and
Speaker 11: clean the dirt and debris out of your blower motor,
Speaker 11: your blower wheel, and still do our technical tune up
Speaker 11: on all the gas pressure airflow and just make sure
Speaker 11: everything's running right. But we just want to make sure
Speaker 11: that our customers and near listeners that got us to
Speaker 11: where we are to actually get what they pay for.
Speaker 11: Is do they got a good quality?
Speaker 3: Oh I can't believe for a forty five bucks.
Speaker 5: This guy that emailed me said, your guy was there,
Speaker 5: tore it apart, cleaned everything, put it back together. Explain
Speaker 5: the other stuff you guys do, and said, Look, you know,
Speaker 5: if anything breaks air it wasn't like a sales pitch
Speaker 5: or anything.
Speaker 3: Actually it is a sales pitch. And you know this
Speaker 3: as well as I do.
Speaker 1: Tom.
Speaker 5: The bottom line is when you do a special like
Speaker 5: this and you soft sell it and clean it and
Speaker 5: give everybody just the best deal they ever got and
Speaker 5: don't try to like upsell them everything, that is the
Speaker 5: best sale in the world. Because when they do need something,
Speaker 5: what are they going to do? Yeah, of course they're
Speaker 5: going to call it back.
Speaker 3: While we have you on. As long as we have
Speaker 3: you on, I'm gonna ask you this, and this is
Speaker 3: really important. I know that a lot of people doing solar,
Speaker 3: you guys have been doing heat pumps or dual systems
Speaker 3: meaning gas slash electric And maybe you knew this, Garrett,
Speaker 3: Do you know that they get to add that to
Speaker 3: the price of the solar system and get a tax
Speaker 3: credit on all of it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a it's a really good deal. And I
Speaker 11: got to do that for They got heat pump credits
Speaker 11: on the city of Denver, Colorado, text all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 11: You just got to look into it.
Speaker 3: And that's in addition to the solar credits. But I'm saying,
Speaker 3: if you couple it with a solar system, man, it's
Speaker 3: pretty damn cool. I mean, it's amazing to me. Yeah. So, Garrett,
Speaker 3: thank you very much. I appreciate it. I know you
Speaker 3: guys are growing fast. Uh and we we love having
Speaker 3: you eight eight eight heating dot com. Say eight eight

Speaker 3: one three eight two five five. I'm gonna bring up Drew.
Speaker 3: I talked about it earlier in the show. I got
Speaker 3: an email where he's laying a guilt trip on me
Speaker 3: for not living up to my promise. I tried to
Speaker 3: log into that damn thing three or four times. It
Speaker 3: won't let me without entering without entering a verification code,
Speaker 3: which is sent to his cell phone, and he said,
Speaker 3: why don't you put your cell phone in and manage
Speaker 3: it from there. I'm not going to do that. I'm
Speaker 3: not going to put my cell phone, nor my email
Speaker 3: address or anything. I told him. What I would do
Speaker 3: is edit the description where I feel it would make
Speaker 3: a better appeal than the one he has. What I
Speaker 3: might do is simply email him that description and he
Speaker 3: can copy and paste it. I'm not going to get
Speaker 3: involved directly in collecting money or having my cell phone
Speaker 3: or my email on a gofund me site. So, Drew,
Speaker 3: is that what you wanted to talk about.
Speaker 22: Yes, First of all, time, you did promise you were
Speaker 22: going to take over the sign, and you were also.
Speaker 3: Going to know no, no, Drew, I never said I
Speaker 3: was going to take it over once in my life.
Speaker 3: What I said was give me your login credentials. I
Speaker 3: will go in and edit it for you and make
Speaker 3: a better appeal for you, because the one you have
Speaker 3: up there is too political and incendiary and it's not
Speaker 3: going to work. I never said I was going to
Speaker 3: take over the account. I will not do that. And
Speaker 3: if that's what you heard, that is part of your problem,
Speaker 3: because you're not hearing correctly.
Speaker 22: First of all, you also said you were going to
Speaker 22: advertise it.
Speaker 3: I said I would let people know about it, and
Speaker 3: I will, And I never said, are you going to
Speaker 3: acknowledge that? I never said I was going to take
Speaker 3: it over.
Speaker 22: And our last conversation, you gave a strong impression.
Speaker 3: Okay, goodbye, Drew. I never want to talk to you again. Goodbye.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. This is it. You know what, Drew, You
Speaker 3: got a big problem and it's not me. Goodbye, Okay, goodbye,
Speaker 3: I'm done. I never said I'm gonna take over his GoFundMe.
Speaker 3: In fact, I even told you it was not going
Speaker 3: to work. You need to do something else, Drew. You
Speaker 3: are a walking disaster. For years, you have been suing
Speaker 3: people and suing people, and suing people and suing people,
Speaker 3: and now it's all caught up with you. You're injured,
Speaker 3: you ran out of money, and now you're hoping your
Speaker 3: latest lawsuits will support you. They will not. Neither will
Speaker 3: a go fund me site. I will. I will send
Speaker 3: you by email a description that I believe you should
Speaker 3: copy and paste to your GoFundMe site. I will do
Speaker 3: you that. Tell him that Kelly off the air, and
Speaker 3: then I will block your email because I'm not going
Speaker 3: to be guilt tripped into that. Okay, I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: do it. Three three seven to one three talk seven
Speaker 3: one three eight two five five. Man, I just you know,
Speaker 3: what were you gonna say?
Speaker 13: Mark?
Speaker 3: I told you so, right, I say something, But anyway,
Speaker 3: Mark was busy with pizza. Oh oh oh okay, anyway,
Speaker 3: let's go back.
Speaker 5: I heard it in there, man, And the only part
Speaker 5: I disagree with is you told him you were going
Speaker 5: to log in and do everything from here out.
Speaker 1: Mark.
Speaker 3: Mark, don't don't even fool with him, because he doesn't.
Speaker 3: That is not something to do. I know. No, no, seriously,
Speaker 3: because he thinks that we have some conspiracy against him.
Speaker 3: Not what I said was. I did say I would
Speaker 3: log in and I would change the description for him.
Speaker 3: He needed help making his appeal. I could not log
Speaker 3: in because it asks for a verification code sent to
Speaker 3: a Celfih you know, you know what you should do.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure he'll be listening to this. Seriously, you
Speaker 3: should write him that front paragraph and send it to
Speaker 3: him and he connected it. Yeah, No, I'm going to
Speaker 3: he can copy and paste it. I'm gonna send him
Speaker 3: a description that would be better than the one he has.
Speaker 3: The one he has will never get him money.
Speaker 20: Hey, Tom, he's back on the phone. He'd like to
Speaker 20: address the wuted because we gave him the lawyer's name
Speaker 20: and phone number and also his phone number, and he
Speaker 20: hasn't heard anything.
Speaker 7: Guess what we did call the attorney. Yeah, I called
Speaker 7: the attorney. We did call the attorney, spoke with him, Drew,
Speaker 7: We called your attorney and we spoke.
Speaker 3: To him for a long time. Okay, Oh, Tom, we
Speaker 3: did talk to you. Did you hear me?
Speaker 22: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, you know what, Drew. You You do a
Speaker 3: lot of talking, but you don't do listening. So first acknowledge,
Speaker 3: did you hear me say we called your attorney?
Speaker 16: Yes?
Speaker 3: Do you believe that we called your attorney as.
Speaker 22: Of this morning? Said, we don't want to call them
Speaker 22: for Well.
Speaker 3: Guess what, he's a liar and you're a liar. Goodbye.
Speaker 8: Let me correct that I spoke with him this morning, Yes,
Speaker 8: not yesterday. I spoke with him this time. It was
Speaker 8: nine forty our time, so New Jersey would have been
Speaker 8: eleven forty.
Speaker 3: Eleven forty New Jersey time. We talked to him, Okay, Drew,
Speaker 3: mister Van atten ju. We talked to your attorney, so
Speaker 3: we found out what would the attorney say? Well, okay,
Speaker 3: the first of all, the attorney said, even though he
Speaker 3: was given permission to talk to us, he does not
Speaker 3: want us publishing facts of the case. So he told
Speaker 3: us about the case enough to know. Here's what we
Speaker 3: do know about the case. Okay, without good giving specifics,
Speaker 3: it's going to be a long time before it's settled.
Speaker 3: If it is. Okay, we do know that, Drew. So
Speaker 3: it's not something that's going to come to your rescue
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five. Okay, so you got a problem.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm trying to get across to you. You
Speaker 3: may think I'm being mean to you, Drew, but I'm
Speaker 3: probably one of the few people in your life that
Speaker 3: will confront you and tell you the truth. Is he there.
Speaker 22: You don't have to take over the site. I got
Speaker 22: that impression, but just advertise it.
Speaker 3: I will. I will as soon as I fix the description.
Speaker 3: I'm going to email you the description so you can
Speaker 3: copy and paste it in. Do you know how to
Speaker 3: do that?
Speaker 22: I don't know anything about computers.
Speaker 3: How did the first one get made?
Speaker 22: The librarian did it?
Speaker 3: And Okay, she did not come up with the wording
Speaker 3: about Kamala.
Speaker 22: Right, it's my words.
Speaker 3: Okay, Then if I send you better wording, would you
Speaker 3: send it to your librarian to upload it.
Speaker 22: Yes, I'll show it to them. And I want to
Speaker 22: tell you something. One of your listeners sent me seventy
Speaker 22: five dollars and sent because they hope that Tom Artino
Speaker 22: will continue to help me on the go fundme.
Speaker 1: Well you listen.
Speaker 3: Oh that's wonderful, Drew. I want to help you, but
Speaker 3: you don't understand something. And I'm going to say it

Speaker 3: a pension for disability, and you have Social Security. Since
Speaker 3: you have no other means of income, you need to

Speaker 22: Me, Tom, thank you for telling me. I appreciate it,
Speaker 22: But I can't leave now. My attorney told me is
Speaker 22: coming to trial in six months. I can't be two
Speaker 22: thousand miles away.
Speaker 3: Okay. If it comes to trial in six months, do
Speaker 3: you understand Dan that that could go on for two
Speaker 3: to three years.
Speaker 22: Do you know that if we win the jury trial.
Speaker 22: I think that will end it.
Speaker 3: In the meantime, how much do you think you're going
Speaker 3: to get drew?

Speaker 16: the son that flies the black Hawk helicopter.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah cool man.
Speaker 16: Well, I wanted to get money donated to him, and
Speaker 16: I told him to the only thing I said to

Speaker 16: few of his seminars. Hopefully my donation will get the
Speaker 16: ball rolling. Yeah, please clean up the plea. It will
Speaker 16: help you more.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, I just started working on the plea. Here's
Speaker 3: where I am so far. But why why are you calling?
Speaker 16: Now?
Speaker 3: Are you wanting a refund?
Speaker 11: No, he's come on, come on, well Mark, that's a
Speaker 11: good question.
Speaker 1: But no, I.
Speaker 16: I'm opposed to his age. I wish I could be more.
Speaker 3: Now here's here's what I started writing. My name is
Speaker 3: Drew Bradford, a retired pastor who has dedicated my life
Speaker 3: to spreading the good news of the Bible. I was
Speaker 3: very active well into my seventies until I was injured
Speaker 3: by a freak actioncident due to what I believe was negligence. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: pursuing damages through the courts could take years. Meanwhile, at
Speaker 3: seventy seven years old and disabled from the accident, I
Speaker 3: am unable to work. My income from Social Security is
Speaker 3: not enough to make my limited expenses, and I have
Speaker 3: exhausted my savings. Then I'm going to go on and
Speaker 3: it'll be the end, but it's going to be way,
Speaker 3: way better than the one that's up there now that
Speaker 3: talks about how Kamala Harris, because she is giving all
Speaker 3: the money to illegal aliens, has made him broke. I mean,
Speaker 3: he never once mentioned being injured his life's work anything,
Speaker 3: So that is wait, wait, in all honesty, maybe that
Speaker 3: is what he should have up there. Mark, no one's
Speaker 3: going to donate to him, Okay, if he has, if
Speaker 3: he keeps the description the way it is, I'm trying
Speaker 3: to make an appeal to a broader audience because he's
Speaker 3: down on his luck. And let me bring up Drew. Drew,
Speaker 3: that's I got started on it. I'm going to email
Speaker 3: that to you.
Speaker 6: You can give that to your phone.
Speaker 22: Let me apologize. We had a misunderstanding, and as a Christian,
Speaker 22: I believe we should just I should forget about it.
Speaker 22: I appreciate that you're going to try to publicize it
Speaker 22: and we leave.
Speaker 11: It as that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But by the way, this description that I read,
Speaker 3: did you hear it?
Speaker 22: It's a lot better than mine.
Speaker 3: Well, yours is too political, and I think it sounds
Speaker 3: a little angry. And by the way, there's nothing wrong
Speaker 3: with you holding any belief you want, but when you're
Speaker 3: making an appeal to people to donate to you. How
Speaker 3: do you blame Kamala Harris for your financial difficulties?
Speaker 19: Of people?
Speaker 22: Who was in the paper in New Jersey today, the
Speaker 22: Post and the Daily News the legal aliens are murdering
Speaker 22: people to get free rent. This one illegal alien is fifteen.
Speaker 22: He's got nine criminal charges against some separate and they
Speaker 22: keep letting him out and he gets a free rental apartment.
Speaker 22: He's illegal, free health insurance, free car insurance, and an
Speaker 22: old citizen like me, I don't get anything.
Speaker 3: But by the way, that's all being published by the
Speaker 3: Daily News and the Post and New York will will
Speaker 3: vote overwhelmingly democratic.
Speaker 22: What can I say? You know your buddy there, Mark.
Speaker 22: I agree with Mark much of the time.
Speaker 3: Oh, you know you and Mark want to do a
Speaker 3: show together. I'm going to propose that time. Yeah you
Speaker 3: proposed that, Thomas. Yes, anyway, Drew, thank you. I'm going
Speaker 3: to send this to you by email. I gotta go.
Speaker 3: I wish you the best. I just want you to
Speaker 3: take other action in addition to this. I would not
Speaker 3: stick around New Jersey on the hopes that that lawsuit's
Speaker 3: going to pay out. I'm telling you you can come
Speaker 3: back if it goes to trial and you need to
Speaker 3: come back, but you need to go somewhere cheaper. Tyler,
Speaker 3: you want to talk about an issue with your starter
Speaker 3: on a twenty sixteen Ford Escape. What's going on? Tyler?
Speaker 19: Oh?
Speaker 18: Man, dude, I've been through the ringer? Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: I ken?
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 18: Jeez?
Speaker 3: Man? This car has been a well tell me tell
Speaker 3: me this. First of all, how long have you owned it?
Speaker 19: Uh?
Speaker 18: Maybe three is years or so?
Speaker 3: And did you you bought it used then? Right? Yes,
Speaker 3: of course you did if you only.
Speaker 18: Had twenty sixteen. Yeah, and you say you've.
Speaker 3: Been through the ringer? Now, what's going on with it?
Speaker 3: We got Jeff Vick with us. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 18: First of all, Like within the first like year and
Speaker 18: a half, the transmission blue and that was an eight
Speaker 18: grand six?
Speaker 3: Did you back then when you bought it three years ago?
Speaker 3: Did you get it checked out?
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 18: I didn't take it to any place.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 18: I figured that they would have done the due diligence
Speaker 18: of that.
Speaker 3: Well, that's wrong. That's your biggest mistakes. So okay, how
Speaker 3: many miles were on it?
Speaker 18: About like sixty five thousand?
Speaker 3: Well that wasn't terrible at all. So okay, So you
Speaker 3: bought a twenty sixteen Ford a scott Escope or Escape
Speaker 3: for sixty five thousand miles. Yeah, sixty five thousand miles,
Speaker 3: and you had a transmission and what else?
Speaker 18: That was the main issue. I mean, that was eight grand.
Speaker 18: I got laid off at the time. Maker can't tell
Speaker 18: me they weren't renewing the lease. So I got kicked
Speaker 18: out of my place. What's it called? Yeah, I was
Speaker 18: making really good money as an.
Speaker 3: How much should you say you spent on that transmission?
Speaker 18: Eight grand?
Speaker 14: Hey?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The car was thirteen yeh yes, eight grand.
Speaker 4: Depending on where he got it done. And you know,
Speaker 4: if there's just in stalln boxing this and that's actually
Speaker 4: a pretty reasonable price.
Speaker 3: And did you pay that tyler?
Speaker 16: Yes?
Speaker 18: Unfortunately over it's over half of the price of the
Speaker 18: car itself.
Speaker 3: Okay, what else then? What are you calling about today?

Speaker 3: some people who have car donations for certain things.

Speaker 3: can't afford a car.
Speaker 18: It's usually the donation of cars. It's like, it's like
Speaker 18: what I called an automobile place, and they told me
Speaker 18: that this company, I mean.
Speaker 3: There is a company that helps people right fix cars.

Speaker 21: Word or understand it. And he goes.
Speaker 23: People go white because I blister ofs ill easily.
Speaker 3: And then he's sitting in his whelpair.
Speaker 18: I told this that is eulogy.
Speaker 23: You know what I think, I'm becoming mineralized. You're becoming mineralized. Okay,
Speaker 23: he says, well, I got these are your teeth.
Speaker 11: Yeah, hold in my teeth and letting my ass.
Speaker 3: My god. Okay, sir, thank you for light, Thank you
Speaker 3: for brightening our day. We certainly appreciate it. Anybody else
Speaker 3: want to call it, we'll kind of call it. We're
Speaker 3: not going to have car Friday. It's going to be
Speaker 3: nut Day. Today is officially nut Day. So anybody want
Speaker 3: to all with any other nutty stuff. Anyway, we got
Speaker 3: Jeff fic kimmera transmission. Not that I mean he's one
Speaker 3: of the nuts, but he's a.
Speaker 4: Background check.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, So listen, you wanted to did you
Speaker 3: ask your question about your car? Question? Not yet, I'd
Speaker 3: love to real quick, yeah, and then we'll answer after
Speaker 3: the break.
Speaker 8: Hey, Jeff, my car has the beloved A's and A
Speaker 8: seven fifty transmission. It's a Toyota and as you know,
Speaker 8: it specifies the Toyota WS fluid. Now, during a recent exchange,
Speaker 8: I was offered an aftermarket BG fluid, and when I
Speaker 8: looked at it, it's said that it's compatible with both
Speaker 8: WS and ATF type T DASH four, which is the
Speaker 8: previous version of Toyota's fluid. Now my question is this
Speaker 8: since those two fluids are not compatible with each other.
Speaker 8: How could a universal fluid be compatible with two things
Speaker 8: that aren't compatible with each other to begin with, Well.
Speaker 3: That's a good question.
Speaker 4: Well, simply because it has the additive packages, meets the qualifications.
Speaker 3: For either one, they don't conflict.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Toyota definitely doesn't want you using the old stuff.
Speaker 4: First of all, is cheaper, So I mean, could you
Speaker 4: get away with the other stuff? Yes, you probably could.
Speaker 4: It is really you may get some shift complaints because
Speaker 4: some of the additives, friction modifiers and whatnot aren't going
Speaker 4: to be the same as the WS, so you can
Speaker 4: always do better than an old but you know, you
Speaker 4: usually don't want to use the old and try to
Speaker 4: get the same.
Speaker 6: No, I would never dream of using anything but WS.
Speaker 4: My question is how we'll definitely qualify for that, because
Speaker 4: because of the additive packages, and it's not just Toyota,
Speaker 4: it's also going to roll over to Honda and all
Speaker 4: the bunch of other manufacturers. There can be cases where
Speaker 4: those additive packages will give you shift complaints, usually hard
Speaker 4: shifts or slippy shifts or something like that, so they
Speaker 4: don't recommend using it. But as long as those additive packages,
Speaker 4: meet the original and EM you're in a good place.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a good answer. Okay, we have more answers.
Speaker 3: All we need are questions coming up on The Troubleshooter Show.
Speaker 3: Three O three seven one three talk three oh three
Speaker 3: seven one three eight two five five. All right, what's
Speaker 3: going on in your life? Three oh three seven one
Speaker 3: three talk? Look what I have? I so I have
Speaker 3: somebody texted me a picture and I'm going to put
Speaker 3: it up on YouTube. And they're trying to sell this
Speaker 3: car and Jeff, he wants to know the best place
Speaker 3: to sell this car. He calls it antique. It's no
Speaker 3: excuse me, he calls it classic. I believe it's actually antique.
Speaker 3: Antique is forty five years right or older? Or forty
Speaker 3: years older somewhere? Run there anyway there it is? What
Speaker 3: is that car? But and and those on YouTube can
Speaker 3: see it, that's.
Speaker 4: A beautiful car. But I mean, that's that's going to
Speaker 4: be a very special one.
Speaker 3: What kind of car?
Speaker 24: I don't even know what it is. He didn't say
Speaker 24: what it is. He just said something he should. Actually,
Speaker 24: my recommendation would be actually to reach out to Rod.
Speaker 24: He's going to be a better lead on somebody who
Speaker 24: is going to be able to be honest and help
Speaker 24: him broker this car. He's not gonna want to sell
Speaker 24: it on his own. I hope if he did all
Speaker 24: the restoration on it, he is not expecting to recover
Speaker 24: his money because you will not with you going to
Speaker 24: you know, the restoration, the time, the money you put
Speaker 24: into him, you will never recover on these restoration vehicles.
Speaker 3: I think the auction isn't that way.
Speaker 4: Probably going to be an auction type.
Speaker 3: Did you see it? Mark?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Everybody can. Yeah. So anyway, Dave, you want to hear
Speaker 3: a story, I don't know what you're talking about, but
Speaker 3: go ahead, Dave.
Speaker 16: Ask wasn't there uncle game that Mark attended, Whether there
Speaker 16: was an accident with a woman?
Speaker 3: Yes. I let Susan tell the story.
Speaker 25: Well, oh, Tommy, you know about this at the Raiders
Speaker 25: game a few weekends ago.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, tell the show.
Speaker 25: Okay, Well, Mark, we were with some friends and they
Speaker 25: had season tickets. They had the last four at the end,
Speaker 25: so they scooched in and let me and Mark take
Speaker 25: the end seats, And of course I let Mark take
Speaker 25: the end end seat for more room, and he says, Hey,
Speaker 25: I think someone spit on me. And then like within
Speaker 25: a split second he realizes this poor woman, she was
Speaker 25: splattering out her.
Speaker 3: Behind and it like down fifty steps tom. Then she
Speaker 3: gets to the.
Speaker 25: Bathroom and splatters in there. They had to call the
Speaker 25: paramedics and throw and shut down.
Speaker 3: I was having a diarrhea attack, right, It was worse
Speaker 3: than that.
Speaker 25: It was worse than just a diarrhea tack.
Speaker 5: So wet as she's walking down the stairs, her pants
Speaker 5: are so drenched.
Speaker 3: It's splattering over everybody in the aisle. Oh no, I
Speaker 3: slipped and fell in it. Yeah, it was so god yeah,
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 25: And people were leaving because it stunk so bad, even
Speaker 25: though we were outside.
Speaker 3: I had to clear basically the section in disinfect the.
Speaker 25: Light talks waste, right, I mean, come on, it looked
Speaker 25: like somebody had vomited all down the stairs.
Speaker 1: It was so bad.
Speaker 3: Was this a young woman or an old She wasn't young.
Speaker 13: It sounds to be like a typical day on labor
Speaker 13: delivery wood.
Speaker 3: Mark. So there you have that, Dave, All right, Wow,
Speaker 3: hope that makes should put a We should put a
Speaker 3: hung up. He was eating lunch. We should have a
Speaker 3: warning on that kind of stuff. Well, Dave, that's the story.
Speaker 3: You wanted it, You got it. Now, I got a
Speaker 3: text here. Hold on, let me go to this text
Speaker 3: for Jeff about a transmission. Jeff, you said eight grand.
Speaker 3: It could cost eight grand. So this person wants to
Speaker 3: know the range for rebuilding a transmission, like like on
Speaker 3: normal cars whatever that means.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if you can call anything normal.
Speaker 3: And you know, give me, give me the highest rebuild
Speaker 3: you've you've told I'm not talking about like some exotic car,
Speaker 3: but like the highest rebuild you've heard of.
Speaker 4: The highest I've ever done was probably a fifteen thousand.
Speaker 3: What the hell did you do for fifteen thousand? Without
Speaker 3: getting vulgar, it was it was on a newer.
Speaker 4: And all actuality Dodge truck with what's called the A
Speaker 4: S sixty nine r C. I mean they can definitely
Speaker 4: be lower, but yeah, they can get up boards of
Speaker 4: fifteen sixteen, seventeen thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: What that that's truly for the transmission?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've done him for his low as
Speaker 4: about nine That about like a big Ford F four fifty. Yeah, well,
Speaker 4: the six R one forty. You're probably talking somewhere around
Speaker 4: the ten eleven thousand dollars mark.
Speaker 3: Wow, holy crap, I mean that truly is what outrageous? Okay,
Speaker 3: the most what's the lowest you've ever done? Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: let's talk exotic. And the lowest I would have been tank. Actually, oh,
Speaker 3: get out of here, I'm serious.
Speaker 16: I had a guy tank.
Speaker 4: It was a Sherman tank. The guy brought us three
Speaker 4: core transmissions. He was actually restoring a tank, and so
Speaker 4: we were able to get most of the parts we
Speaker 4: were to get there. You'd be surprised what the military
Speaker 4: still had available for purchase for us to actually can
Speaker 4: finish finish building this tank.
Speaker 3: Did you even recognize it as a transmission?
Speaker 4: I had never seen any Well, yeah, of course I
Speaker 4: recognized as a transmission, but I had never worked on
Speaker 4: this unit before. Obviously, it's the one only time I did.
Speaker 3: And you didn't. You just rebuilt a trans you didn't
Speaker 3: have the tank.
Speaker 4: Now the tank he was. This guy literally was just
Speaker 4: bored and so he was going around having people work
Speaker 4: on this tank refurbish a tank.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: And by the time he was done, this Sherman tank,
Speaker 4: if you had the munitions, you could fire it. So
Speaker 4: how he was done, he actually drove around all the
Speaker 4: shots with this tank on a flatbed. Let us crawl
Speaker 4: around it, spind the turret and so on and so forth.
Speaker 4: And then when we were done, he drove it down
Speaker 4: to Kentucky and donated to a You got him send his.
Speaker 3: Pictures of that.
Speaker 11: Ago.
Speaker 3: So, Jeff, I mean, let's talk about this. We talked
Speaker 3: about electric motors being a direct drive meaning low, low voltage,
Speaker 3: you know, low speed to torque about okay, So with
Speaker 3: a gasoline engine, obviously we used transmissions. But when they
Speaker 3: first did it was it like the electric where they
Speaker 3: didn't have a transmission and it was just simply low throttle.
Speaker 3: You start rolling, and.
Speaker 4: You still had to have a transmission. Obviously they started
Speaker 4: off with stick shifts, so direct drive, okay, had to
Speaker 4: be able to shift them back and forth. And then
Speaker 4: when they first came out with.
Speaker 3: See that's just as remarkable as the as the internal
Speaker 3: combustion engine. Seriously, the transmission it can.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're very complicated and most engine guys won't work
Speaker 4: on a transmission. Quite frankly, I've been doing so.
Speaker 3: There's no way that you could lay a motor sideways
Speaker 3: and have a direct shaft. You you just can't do it?
Speaker 3: How did like a steam engine works.
Speaker 4: Then they didn't have can you just have to be
Speaker 4: able to a couple or uncouple the power some one.
Speaker 3: Way or another, right, like a clutch or some type.
Speaker 4: So when they first came out with automatic transmissions, you
Speaker 4: didn't have a torque rever. You had was called a
Speaker 4: fluid coupler. So instead they had a drive drive side
Speaker 4: of pump side and a turbine side, so basically it
Speaker 4: could slip in there you had a big hydraulics.
Speaker 3: Otherwise it would stall out every exactly.
Speaker 4: So then when you took your foot off the gap
Speaker 4: or off the brake rather, you accelerated it and it
Speaker 4: just through that fluid of the turbino side and forced
Speaker 4: it to start turning slowly. They were a dog off
Speaker 4: the start, but they weren't dream on the highway.
Speaker 3: So can you do that truly with clutches? It would
Speaker 3: just wear them out all the time, right, Well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the clutch is a wearing part, just
Speaker 4: like a break.
Speaker 3: Okay, So transmissions were they developed right around the same
Speaker 3: time that the engines.
Speaker 4: Were pretty much you pretty well, not as engines, but
Speaker 4: as far as the automobile's concerned.
Speaker 3: Yes, So the Model ten when they took out that
Speaker 3: model Tea, when they were doing they had they had
Speaker 3: to do a pretty sophisticated gear range.
Speaker 4: So you had a lot of different engineers working on
Speaker 4: different parts of the car.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And when you think about I mean the technology
Speaker 3: and where we've come today, my goodness. And then you
Speaker 3: talk about the CBT, it's incredible. We got more coming
Speaker 3: up on the Troubleshooter Show, Martino. You're trouble Shooter three
Speaker 3: all three seven month three, talk about seven two five five. Okay,
Speaker 3: let's go to the phones and find out what we
Speaker 3: can do for you. And uh, we're going to wrap
Speaker 3: up the show. Well, not just right this second. I
Speaker 3: want to talk about this scam Marlene. What what do
Speaker 3: you think's going on? Marlene?
Speaker 26: Hi, Hi, right, Well, I've been trodded by several different companies,
Speaker 26: security cameras, plumbing companies. By the way, I'm going to
Speaker 26: drop down that plumbing company. You just talked about, four
Speaker 26: plumbing companies, three security camera companies.
Speaker 3: Well, my god, why are you being ripped off so much?
Speaker 26: Well, because I've been isolated. I live up in the foothills,
Speaker 26: I live alone. My daughter had to move out as
Speaker 26: a result of these nasty people. And when my husband died,
Speaker 26: they just kind of came in and wanted me out
Speaker 26: for whatever reasons. I'm sure it's all about money, right, Marlene?
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: What do you mean they came in and wanted you out?
Speaker 26: They have been harassing me, stalking me, terrorizing me.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, listen, let me ask you that. Hold on
Speaker 3: one second, just one second. When when did you u
Speaker 3: When did you get divorced?
Speaker 26: Oh, my husband died in twenty in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Is that when it started? Marlene?
Speaker 15: It's practically the day, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: Marlene, Marlene, listen, please listen, Okay, I promise you. I
Speaker 3: just want you to listen. I don't want you to
Speaker 3: jump to conclusions or think that I think that there's
Speaker 3: something wrong with you. But many times emotional traumas bring
Speaker 3: on feelings of paranoia, or feelings of persecution, or feelings
Speaker 3: like this, and sometimes they're exaggerated a bit because of
Speaker 3: what you have been through. And you say your daughter
Speaker 3: moved out? Did she? Did she ever mention that some
Speaker 3: of this maybe wasn't real.
Speaker 26: No, moved out because of it.
Speaker 3: Can you give me an example of how you were
Speaker 3: being terrorized.
Speaker 26: Okay, okay, last night example, I hate to call the
Speaker 26: sheriff because to just.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, what happened last night? What happened?
Speaker 26: I had to call the sheriff because there were folks
Speaker 26: in the backyard. I could hear them, and my dog
Speaker 26: was born nuts. And I know those animals too.
Speaker 3: We have bars and all that. What were they doing
Speaker 3: in the backyard? What were they doing?
Speaker 19: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 26: I don't know exactly. I know that I've had tens
Speaker 26: of thousands of dollars worth of materials stolen from.
Speaker 19: My backyard, my all my deck wood and all my firewood, and.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of things.
Speaker 3: Just doing Kelly, get her name and number. I want
Speaker 3: to get her back on the show. Okay, put her
Speaker 3: on hold right now. We're running out of time. Jeff Fick,
Speaker 3: thanks for being here. Transmissions Denver dot com. He's at
Speaker 3: three oh three six nine three fourteen hundred. Remember, folks,
Speaker 3: save all your problems for me.
