Who do we have coming in? 19 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.239 I believe we have Discount Bath, but I'm not sure 20 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.200 who's popping in. I haven't seen him yet. 21 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.640 Okay, And then here at the satellite ship, we have 22 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.120 Deputy d next to me. And then let's go on 23 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:23.319 to the phones and see what we can do for you. 24 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.719 What do you think about the courts or not the courts, 25 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:34.799 but a court ruling the tariffs are illegal, the a 26 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.560 court struck down the tariffs, A trade court, a federal 27 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.400 trade court, I think they call it, I'm not sure what. 28 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.120 A US federal court ruled that Trump's sweeping tariffs are 29 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:51.879 illegal and ordered their removal. So a three judge panel 30 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.840 from the US Court of International Trade found that the 31 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:03.159 White House exceeded its legal authority and it said that 32 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:09.960 it is basically illegal. So there will be an implant 33 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.919 that there will be a rollback of any tariffs that 34 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.479 went into effect, and there will not be. It will 35 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.199 not take effect as he wanted to. So that puts 36 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.520 a big crimp in his weaponization of tariffs. And I 37 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.680 don't say that as a put down. I mean he 38 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.639 had a strategy and I think it was working. Everyone 39 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.240 is eventually going to want to trade with America and 40 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.599 they're going to want to equalize teriffs. 41 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.120 That's all going to change real quick, man. It's I mean, 42 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.159 it's it's all bs. It'll change within a few days. 43 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.680 You mean the court, he'll he'll appeal it and win. Yeah, 44 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.560 I'm sure they already did appeal it, and they'll at 45 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.159 least stay it until it gets up to the Supreme Court. 46 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.280 Now, more than ever, the courts are taking a legislative 47 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:03.039 role in ruling a Marier. Judges are basically saying, here's 48 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.919 what we think is good for America. Now, to their defense, 49 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.120 they're going to say, all they're doing is keeping things 50 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.639 from getting unconstitutional. But what's weird is almost everything Trump 51 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.680 wants they're calling unconstitutional, and almost everything the Democrats want 52 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.719 they're saying is constitutional. In a way, the courts are 53 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.919 now legislating America. They are ruling America. They are saying, 54 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.199 it doesn't matter what the president does, it's what we 55 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:39.400 say that goes. If we say it's okay, it's okay. 56 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:40.479 If not, it's not. 57 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:41.479 Now. 58 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:47.240 The balance of power was set up in the US 59 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.560 years and years ago with Congress, presidency, and the courts 60 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:57.599 all with their own roles. Congress pass laws, the president coveto, 61 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.080 the president had some executive privilege. Then you had the 62 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:06.159 courts that look at everything and say, hey, it's constitutional 63 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.680 or not constitutional. But they're the ultimate arbitrari ast to 64 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.120 what goes on or not, and they've becoming more. They 65 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.319 become more and more activist when it comes to social change, 66 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.360 and I believe it goes far beyond the constitutionality of 67 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.079 an issue. I think what they're doing is giving their 68 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.800 personal beliefs of what should be done, and they're using 69 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:32.199 the Constitution as their crutch. That's my personal opinion. Now 70 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.839 I might be wrong. I mean, but is it likely 71 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.079 that almost everything that President Trump wanted to do is unconstitutional? 72 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:47.000 Doesn't sound like it just sounds too manipulative. Now, oddly, 73 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.839 many of these judges are Republican as well. They're not 74 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:56.279 all Democrat judges. Ruth has an issue with squatters. Ruth, 75 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.120 are you talking about squatters in one of your rentals 76 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.199 or waters in your yard or talk about it? 77 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.879 I'm talking about they took over my house when I 78 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:06.959 went into the hospital. 79 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.519 Oh, oh my goodness. Now wait a minute. Were these 80 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.160 people living with you before you went into the hospital. No, 81 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.680 so you went into the hospital, and who took over 82 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:21.240 your house? 83 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:24.519 People? 84 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.560 Just people, just. 85 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.839 People you don't know, you never met before. 86 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.839 Well, I have known them maybe five years ago. I 87 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:35.319 knew him. 88 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.000 And how did you know them? 89 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:50.120 Well, there was I don't know. People just seemed to 90 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.920 be disputing everything about me. For some reason, I owned them. 91 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.240 But Ruth, do you own the home or do you 92 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:00.639 rent it? 93 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:02.040 I own it? 94 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:04.600 Okay? 95 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:17.920 Right before? Are they related to you? 96 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.680 Ruth? Tell me a little more information. Who are these people? 97 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:22.560 Oh? 98 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.480 Yeah, so I mean if. 99 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.959 They're related to you, do you understand? I mean generally 100 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.040 what a squatter would be as like a complete stranger 101 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.759 that moves in. I guess it could be a relative. 102 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.879 But how long were you in the hospital forty five days? 103 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.600 And they did not live there prior to you going 104 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:41.879 into the hospital for care. 105 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.600 No, as a matter of fact, they told me to 106 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.720 leave them alone. Have nothing to do with them, their own, 107 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:50.720 their own life. 108 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.399 How were they related to you? 109 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:54.040 Uh? 110 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.240 How are they related to you? 111 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.000 Wow?

Evidently this 194 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:45.519 they did, and. 195 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:51.320 They did it without your permission. Yes, and they have 196 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:56.679 and you have no kind of relationship with them whatsoever. 197 00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.759 No, I haven't seen. 198 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.639 Okay. If you asked, are you home back home now 199 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.559 from the hospital? Yes? 200 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.399 And when you asked them to leave, what do they say? 201 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.440 I had to have an attorney. Actually, I was scared, 202 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.360 and I was I called a friend when I first 203 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.159 came home, and eventually after a few days, I was 204 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.879 not invited to any mills or anything, and I was 205 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.799 feeling like I was not very safe. So I so 206 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:37.120 the policeman came out when I called my friends, and 207 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.799 the policeman said to him they need to be civil 208 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.000 to me and anyway. 209 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.039 But the police officer, the police officer didn't tell them 210 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:46.799 they had to leave. 211 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:55.279 No, that's that's it's really, you know all they asked. 212 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.759 And I think it's very important, is it. Do I 213 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:02.240 think anybody has any guns? And hopefully I thought there 214 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.240 was no guns in my house in but hopefully there 215 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:06.840 still wasn't that I didn't know. 216 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.399 Yeah, but here's what I want to know. Have you 217 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:13.480 asked them to leave? 218 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.200 Yes, definitely, but I couldn't because she came screaming at 219 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.000 me while nobody was around. 220 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:27.000 But had my room and that I had do they 221 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:28.679 happen to have power of attorney. 222 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.120 Anyway, I ended up falling over, banged my head and 223 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.279 had to be taken back to the hospital to have 224 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.720 it looked over, because when you you know, I hadn't 225 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.559 been in the hospital. There was out of the hospital 226 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:42.120 very long. 227 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.080 What are they doing in your home? Ruth? What are 228 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.039 they doing in your home? 229 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:53.600 Well, they're not here now. We I hired an attorney 230 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.120 and it took five months to get them. 231 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.519 Out, and you did, and they fought it for five months? 232 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.919 Did you say did they fight it? 233 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.600 Did they fight it? Were they fighting you? For five months? 234 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.799 They were hostile? 235 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.960 Okay, So they were finally evicted. Now what are you 236 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:18.919 calling about today? 237 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:26.039 They ran up over twenty thousand dollars in bills and 238 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.320 so when I told the banks and the charge cards 239 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.159 that I did not make the bills, they were all 240 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.399 checked out and changed to be fraud. And so then 241 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:45.840 now they made improvements on my house unauthorized. I guess 242 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.000 they thought they were going out to live like what now, 243 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:49.159 maybe I'd die? 244 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.240 And uh so what kind of improvements? I mean, what 245 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.799 kind of improvements did they make? 246 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:57.200 Huh? 247 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:00.559 What kind of improvement as did. 248 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.639 They make what kin I had told I had told. 249 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:08.279 I told the daughter that I canceled the contract and 250 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.000 and don't I don't know. I mean, if she would call, 251 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.320 I mean I told her if she would call and 252 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.360 cancel a contract, that a bathroom was leaking out the 253 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.039 side of the tub. And uh so she canceled it. 254 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.159 But then they she turned around and went and got 255 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:28.960 some other contractors unbeknown to me, and they put in 256 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.320 they fixed the bathroom, and they built it. They finished 257 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.919 the basement and put in another bathroom, all another rise. 258 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.320 Did you pay for them? No? 259 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.320 And now I'm being at the Now I'm being served 260 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:51.279 that that they want to put a lane on the 261 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.559 house for those I did not authorize them. 262 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.120 They did not have the legal right to make. 263 00:15:58.799 --> 00:15:59.200 That that. 264 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.320 So now I want to get I want to get 265 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.960 Brad O'Brien on written. I want to get an attorney 266 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.960 on to talk about this. They did improvements to your 267 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.120 home that were not authorized while they were squatters. Now 268 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:13.120 they want to get paid. 269 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.120 They I want to find out what contractors do. 270 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:23.799 I just got to ask something on the side, how'd 271 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:28.000 you get so sideways with these relatives like your daughter? 272 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.720 What happened. This doesn't happen overnight. This is very abnormal. 273 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:32.720 How did we get here? 274 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.240 Well, I don't know what happened to her, but I 275 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:44.000 do know that she got herself somehow the idea that 276 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:48.159 she should go around stealing things all the time. It appears. 277 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.200 And I told her I didn't want her. I had 278 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.080 some you know, you have your own ring or whatever 279 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.480 when you're married. I'm not married in a long time, 280 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.480 but I had one. She's everything I have like that. 281 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.359 And I kept saying, no, you can't do that. And 282 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.039 she's one. And she came over one time. 283 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.279 She on drugs or something? Is she on drugs? 284 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:15.119 I have a concern about that because her son years ago. 285 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:22.519 Whenever I recall this kind of chip, she is growing marijuana. 286 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.720 Okay, all right, well that's fine. We'll get an attorney 287 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.519 on tom and see what he's got to say. 288 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:28.640 Here. 289 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:29.559 Here's what I want to know. 290 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:31.799 Yeah, I want to get Brad O'Brien on to see 291 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.400 what kind of life, what kind of chance they have 292 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:40.039 of doing this as far as an actual lean, That's 293 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.359 what I'd like to know me too. 294 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:43.839 I need help with that. 295 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:47.680 Yeah, So that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna get 296 00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.359 Brad O'Brien on. 297 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.960 To talk about It's kind of interesting because a lean 298 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:54.160 is actually on the property. I mean, it's really not 299 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.400 I would guess, and I'm dying to hear what Brad's 300 00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.160 got to say. I mean, think of the story in 301 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.920 front of a judge. You're honor my daughter while I 302 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.200 was in the hospital, moved into my house, had the 303 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.440 basement finished, and had the bathroom finished, and now that's done, 304 00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.680 and now the contractor wants to get paid and is 305 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:17.079 leaning my house. I mean, what would a judge possibly 306 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.759 say to that story? What's your guest? What do you think, 307 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:20.880 Brad would I guess? 308 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.640 My guess is this the contractor gave her value quantum 309 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:30.680 marrowit and that means that you got the value, you 310 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:31.400 pay the price. 311 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:31.880 That's right. 312 00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.920 Then she has a separate issue against her daughter who 313 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:42.000 authorized it and cost her that. So I think it's 314 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.119 going to be mixed. Ruth is actually going to be 315 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.240 responsible if she got benefit. I know it sounds crazy. 316 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:54.079 Brad is unavailable on being told Brad O'Brien will try 317 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:56.240 to get him on another time with you, Ruth. 318 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:02.039 But interesting enough, I just got a text and I'm 319 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.359 going to dig into it over this break, but I 320 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:09.200 got a text from Suzanne that says, quote her daughter 321 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:14.599 called our show exclamation points. So I'm going to figure 322 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.960 out what her daughter had to say. Is this an 323 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.240 only child, by the way, or do you have other kids? 324 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:27.000 I'm just curious, Ruth, is this your only child? 325 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:28.440 Uh? 326 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:28.720 Huh? 327 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:35.119 Okay, Well they broke them old on that one, didn't they. 328 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:39.880 Here's something though, that when it comes up on the show, 329 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.359 people get very pissed off at me when I talk 330 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.119 about this, but it's something people don't want to talk about. 331 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.920 Under the rules in the state of Colorado, if you 332 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:57.799 go off to work one day or take a long 333 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.319 weekend vacation. I've said this before and I'm mean it. 334 00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:03.960 And let's say Mark's way out in the country, they 335 00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.920 move into his house or into his garage, they can 336 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:12.680 claim a tendency and he's not allowed to He's not 337 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:14.400 allowed to a victim. 338 00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.960 Through the court. I don't argue with you, but we 339 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.960 kind of have an argument about this because I would 340 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.160 just handle it different if I walked back in my 341 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.400 house after a vacation and was startled in my house 342 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.640 with people that I thought were going to kill me, I'd. 343 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:38.720 Shoot him dead. Okay, I understand what you're saying. Many 344 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:42.319 other people might handle it that way. But YouTube and 345 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:46.680 the internet space is filled with people who have taken 346 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:51.519 over other people's homes and stayed there blatantly and just 347 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:53.759 stay there boldly. 348 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.240 Hey, I got it and made them go through the courts. 349 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.680 I got a quick question for Ruth. Hey, Ruth, did 350 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:04.279 you dispute the credit card charges on this and the 351 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.519 bank sided with you? Did that happen? 352 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:06.880 Yes? 353 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.279 So, but hold on, that means you weren't really out 354 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.440 of money. So what happened is Tom, her daughter paid 355 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:19.200 with Ruth's credit card. Ruth went to the bank after 356 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.599 seeing the charges, and the bank sided with her because 357 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.240 the daughter didn't have permission to use the credit cards. 358 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.680 So now that the contractor has not gotten paid, that's 359 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:34.279 where we are. Now that's really the entire story.

If they came home from the 387 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.000 hospital from a vacation, from a long weekend from work 388 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.960 and someone who's inside the house claiming they live. 389 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:30.000 There, they wouldn't be alive. 390 00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:33.000 I don't know what the law says on that, but 391 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.200 as Brad O'Brien loves to say, that's self help. And 392 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:38.400 you can get in trouble for it. 393 00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:39.880 Now. 394 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:43.000 Once someone is dead and you say they were threatening you, 395 00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.119 and they're inside your house and there's no one there 396 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:48.359 to say we had a lease or we had an agreement, 397 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.599 that might be the end of it. Pretty much could be. 398 00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.519 But we're being told that no one would put up 399 00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.799 with it. Yeah, all over the country, people are taking 400 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:04.519 over homes every single day. 401 00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:06.319 You look it up. 402 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:09.559 It's happening every single day. The worst of it is 403 00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:14.079 in California. No one can do anything about it. But 404 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:17.839 I often said, if someone moved into Oprah's house, or 405 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:23.000 Ellen DeGeneres, or pick a name, Prince Harry, anyone living 406 00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.359 out on the coast, if anyone ever did that, what 407 00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.319 do you think would happen? Do you think they would 408 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:31.720 tell them they had to go through the courts. Do 409 00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:34.359 you think they would tell Tyler Perry he has to 410 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:36.640 go through the courts and wait for them to evictim 411 00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.359 out of his house. 412 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.240 What do you think would happen? Their security guards would 413 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.240 have it handled. I mean, it wouldn't even be an 414 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:47.079 issue because they would never get to live there. You're saying, well, 415 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.680 even if they did and the security guards came home 416 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.079 with whoever it was, I mean, once again, you know 417 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.880 that's a threat someone in your house. I don't know 418 00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.839 about California, but most states have something like to make 419 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:02.119 my day law if you're in mind. 420 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:05.119 Unless they say unless they say I live here. 421 00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:07.400 Well that's fine. I mean if someone breaks into my 422 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:09.279 house in the middle of the night with a knife 423 00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:11.480 and tells me he lives there, they're gonna die. 424 00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:14.000 Yeah. 425 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:16.880 I don't think that's what I'm talking about, breaking into 426 00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:18.359 your house in the middle of the night. I'm talking 427 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.559 about you coming home from a vacation and they're they're 428 00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.079 there living, and they got packages delivered and they can 429 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:25.519 prove it. 430 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.039 Mark Listen. I don't think living is my point, Tom. 431 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.319 I mean, why would anybody even like you, walk in 432 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.279 there's complete strangers in your house. If you have the 433 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.160 ability and a gun right there. Why wouldn't you shoot them? 434 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:44.799 I'd be terrified. It's my house. Who are you? Why 435 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:48.160 are you here? I wouldn't even ask those questions what 436 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:49.039 Mark's saying. 437 00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.359 Mark, I think what you're saying is the squatter's tendency 438 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:54.000 will terminate right there and then. 439 00:25:54.160 --> 00:26:00.400 Yes, that would be my one second notice, year one 440 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.880 second note is that that's actually pretty funny. Hey, let's 441 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.440 go to uh real quick. I want to finish up 442 00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:10.319 on this, Ruth. So here's the deal, and I'm going 443 00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.519 to bring Ruth back up. But Ruth kind of listen 444 00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:14.720 to what I'm saying. And Tom, I don't know if 445 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:17.759 you were here for this call. Originally, the daughter called 446 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:20.640 in Ruth. Your daughter called in here. Her story is 447 00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:23.640 a lot different than yours. Her story goes like this, 448 00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.039 hold on, Ruth, I'll put her on hold. 449 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:27.359 What's what's her first name? 450 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:30.359 I don't remember. I don't remember. We're trying to figure 451 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:31.880 out who it is because we don't know how to 452 00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:33.720 look it up without the first name. But hold on. 453 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.519 So she goes to the hospital. They come over because 454 00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:40.519 according to the daughter, Ruth, I don't know if this 455 00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:43.240 is true or not, but you're like big time hoarder, 456 00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:46.839 big time hoarder, Like, can't even walk through your basement, 457 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:50.680 just a hoarder. Stuff everywhere. I don't know if it's trash, 458 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:54.200 I don't recall. But then they had to pay a 459 00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:57.640 company to come over and basically clean all the crap 460 00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:00.559 out of your house so you could live there. That 461 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.920 was hers. She used your credit card to actually pay 462 00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:08.160 these contractors to get the house back in order. She 463 00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.599 said nothing about refinishing a basement, which, by the way, 464 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.000 the more I thought about it, and I'll ask Chris 465 00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.680 he Ons discount bath dot com, think of finishing a basement. 466 00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:20.119 You guys do bathrooms. You're not going to finish a 467 00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:23.839 basement in forty five days. You couldn't even have inspections 468 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:26.640 in that period of time. So when Ruth tells me 469 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.359 that they came over and had her basement refinished and 470 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:35.319 remodeled a bathroom, all within forty five days, that doesn't 471 00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:38.640 sound right. The daughter said, they paid people to come in, 472 00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.880 Ruth and literally make your home livable for you. Then 473 00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.960 when you found out that your stuff was gone, you 474 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:48.880 got mad, and once again this is according to your daughter, 475 00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.279 you got mad and went after the credit card company 476 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.839 and said it was fraud, and it very well could 477 00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:56.960 be fraud. And I kind of agree with that. You 478 00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.720 didn't give permission to use it. What's so? Whoever, So 479 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.119 I agree with that, But the story is one hundred 480 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:09.160 percent different. So what do you make of that? Ruth lies? 481 00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:10.079 Lies? Lies? 482 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.359 Okay, I had, I had. 483 00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:17.440 I'm a senior asery, but I'm a I'm a healthy one. 484 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:19.720 I usually walk a mile and a half two or 485 00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:24.000 three times a week before all this happened. And then, uh, anyway, 486 00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:31.240 I I have lived here myself because I just enjoyed 487 00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.839 having my home, having it looking fine, and then not 488 00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:39.119 being retired. I wanted to just just enjoy my last 489 00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:42.279 year is a little bit and see that kind of 490 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:51.039 life within my home. And anyway, yeah, and so my house. 491 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:56.799 You're not a squatter. Huh, you're not a squatter? Order 492 00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:02.000 I'm a squatter or what? That's what I mean? Well? 493 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:04.279 Are you a hoarder? No? 494 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:07.680 Absolutely, you didn't. 495 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.599 No, you had no junk. You had no junk. 496 00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:13.160 No. 497 00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:15.920 I had a few pieces of paper I was reading 498 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.680 whenever my heart hit me. There I laid down on 499 00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:20.559 the sofa and there's paper around. 500 00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:23.440 My Spidey senses went up on that. I mean, at 501 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.920 least that is a small acknowledge and that you like 502 00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:33.200 to have keepsakes, right, Yeah, I sure did. Do you 503 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:34.480 have any old pizza boxes? 504 00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:36.240 Anny? 505 00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:36.480 Old? 506 00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:38.799 What pizza box? 507 00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:45.480 Pizza boxes? I'm sorry, I'm pizza Oh yeah, she's not 508 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:49.119 getting it. Oh no, oh no. What I had was 509 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:57.279 my grandparents I dearly loved, and they had when they 510 00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:01.319 whenever my when they became ill called me and asked 511 00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:06.440 me what would I like from my grandparents? And I said, 512 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.200 the picture them when they got married, and the yeah, 513 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.480 you know, just a few things to remember her and 514 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.839 my grandpa together like that, And so I agree, how 515 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:19.440 many things? 516 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:19.920 I think. 517 00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:23.359 Ultimately, what's going to happen with why she called is 518 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.720 they're either going to lean it or not. I don't 519 00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:29.720 know what was done there. I truly doubt that anybody 520 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.400 finished the basement in a bathroom in forty five days. 521 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.319 I find that impossible. But whatever did happen there, whether 522 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.079 it was a cleanup or get all the stuff out, 523 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:43.119 I don't know. But if the contractors that were there 524 00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:46.400 have not gotten paid, which they haven't according to both 525 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:49.240 of them, then they're either going to lean it and 526 00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.000 then bring you to court, Ruth and prove the lean or. 527 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:54.680 They're not going to There's not much more that's going 528 00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:55.319 to happen here. 529 00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:01.160 Well, they're still on furniture. I had nice furniture. I 530 00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:03.720 have pictures of it, and they can't. They sold it 531 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:04.759 all and took it through. 532 00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.519 Do you have pictures you can send us? Do you 533 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:09.119 have pictures you can send us? 534 00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:13.160 Well, okay, I'm all right. My my other my real 535 00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:15.480 phone that I had was a Samsung and I'm not 536 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:17.960 real good on it, and I'm doing all I can 537 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.640 to get these pictures off of my I ended up 538 00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:24.680 having to get an iPhone. I need help and get 539 00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:27.359 these pictures done. I tried to send them to the police, 540 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.160 and for some reason they keep blocking and not getting something. 541 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:32.839 And here's how we uh, here's how we came down 542 00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:38.000 with this. The contractor, Eduardo is actually the caller from 543 00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:42.720 one twenty two. Suzanne actually nailed the months too, and 544 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:46.440 he gave us the daughter's information that paid us. So 545 00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:49.640 Eduardo is the one that has not gotten paid. And 546 00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.200 then when I got the daughter's information, we called over 547 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:55.200 there and talked to the daughter and that's how we 548 00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:56.559 learned all about this. 549 00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:59.960 Well, all I can say you. 550 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:03.680 Weren't allowed According to your daughter, you weren't even on 551 00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:08.240 this January twenty January twenty second.

All right, So Ruth 636 00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.480 started calling saying, look, I was in the hospital. My 637 00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:20.039 daughter moved into my house and took it over and 638 00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:26.079 she did improvements I did not authorize, and now they left. 639 00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:31.480 I got him evicted when I got home, But now 640 00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:34.239 people are coming after me.

Joanna, who says she's Ruth's daughter, 643 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.119 says that's not the story at all. In fact, Joanna 644 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:54.039 says Ruth gave her a lease and Ruth was quite 645 00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:58.639 cognizant of the fact that Joanna was going to lease 646 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:02.360 the house. Joanna, if that's true, why is Ruth calling 647 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.280 us now with this story because. 648 00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.960 She was a want to pay for the contractor. 649 00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:12.880 In the contractor? Joanna, is it correct that your mother 650 00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:15.719 was not allowed to move back into the house because 651 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:18.840 it was in such bad shape until it got cleaned up? 652 00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:21.320 I recall something like that or is that a different call? 653 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:25.719 Correct? No, that's the exact same thing, the exact situation. 654 00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:31.000 So she literally came home from the hospital on August 655 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:34.880 or October twelfth, and we all took her to a 656 00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:40.039 birthday party because it was my granddaughter's birthday and my 657 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.320 son's birthday. And at the day she came home, we 658 00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:47.079 welcomed her home with and then we welcomed her home, 659 00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:49.920 the whole entire family did. We took her to a 660 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:54.599 birthday party, her great granddaughter's birthday parties, and then when 661 00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:57.599 we brought her home, my daughter who was twenty sixth 662 00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:00.519 my son in law, my granddaughter who the time was 663 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.760 under the age of a year, myself. We all moved 664 00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:07.840 in and she seemed to be just fine until she 665 00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:11.199 started getting the bills and she didn't want to pay. 666 00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:15.760 She didn't want to pay. Now, she neglects to negates 667 00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.639 to state that the house was in such disrepair that 668 00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:22.000 she didn't even have a bathroom in the master bathroom 669 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:26.519 for at least ten years, And so she actually had 670 00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:29.800 a contract that she wanted me to negotiate to get 671 00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:33.159 her out of. Prior to while she was in the hospital, 672 00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:36.800 she kept yelling about the interest rate. And I don't 673 00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:40.000 remember the name of the company, but her and her fiance, 674 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:45.480 Craig Jones, were in together with getting this bathroom, and 675 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:47.400 he kept saying that she was going to have a 676 00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:52.480 lien on the house if we didn't get this bathroom 677 00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:56.039 taken care of. And so she had me to negotiate. 678 00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:58.599 May I ask something? May I ask? 679 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:04.719 And that Yeah, Okay, That's what I meant. So I 680 00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.039 want to ask you something about your mother, Ruth Trina, 681 00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.800 and that is I want to know if I want 682 00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:12.719 to know what the lease was for, why did you 683 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:13.559 have a lease with her? 684 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.400 I did a lease because we knew that we were 685 00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:20.039 using her cards and we had permission, and the lease 686 00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:23.719 was to help pay to help her pay it, to 687 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:26.320 help we were not going to leave her alone with that. 688 00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.000 The lease was to help her pay it. I mean 689 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:31.519 she she started acting. 690 00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:34.440 What did the lease say? Did the least say you 691 00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:36.000 were going to live in the basement? Where were you 692 00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:37.199 going to live the whole house? 693 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:39.480 What were the traditions? 694 00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:43.880 My daughter and my son in law, we actually updated 695 00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:49.480 and added the bathroom downstairs, and added fixed the heating system, 696 00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:54.840 and added a living quarters in a bedroom in the basement, 697 00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:57.719 and then we added and updated a bathroom in the 698 00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:02.079 master bedroom. We tore out the carpet, we added the bathroom. 699 00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:09.599 We four down mirrors, and replaced carpet throughout the whole 700 00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:16.199 entire upper floor. On the third floor, we removed belongings 701 00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:23.519 that had been there from my grandmother and her previous husband. 702 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:26.000 She called him Tom. She says she was her husband. 703 00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:30.480 They were never married, and we put those things in 704 00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:33.920 storage so we could all cohabitate, and she didn't even 705 00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:37.639 give us enough time. She got home, she started acting 706 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:45.199 delusional and left August Halloween. She left Halloween was the 707 00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:49.199 first incident where I have her recording. I have her 708 00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:52.360 own recording where she's calling the police on me and 709 00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.960 I'm literally sitting there in her room while she's telling 710 00:41:56.079 --> 00:42:00.519 them all of these horrible things about me. And that's 711 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.400 the incident. So it was get my house updated, pin 712 00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.960 it on my daughter, make her pay for it. And 713 00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:12.760 then with the other contract I don't know if they 714 00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.599 are trying to sue her as well. But the contractor 715 00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:20.760 who came, he did an amazing job and he didn't 716 00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:24.079 have to do. The crew that he brought in and 717 00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:27.000 the things that they did, they did the things that 718 00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.239 they people would have take months to do to bring 719 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:34.679 her home. And there were contractors that they were moving 720 00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:36.079 furniture one of these routs. 721 00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:40.280 I mean, Joanna, you're Joanna, you're saying, You're saying, Ruth 722 00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:43.480 had complete knowledge of everything going on. 723 00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:49.639 And then now playing and text her and Faith timed 724 00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:53.079 her and sent messages and messages.

Well, 737 00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:36.400 I don't know what you mean. 738 00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:37.960 Well, it changes everything. 739 00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:41.320 She says she has a lease with your signature in 740 00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:42.280 front of a notary. 741 00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:46.400 No, that least was never signed by me, and it 742 00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:50.800 was a forgery and I never saw the lease before. 743 00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:54.360 And then suddenly they threw it at me at my 744 00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:58.360 face after I had been after I moved out of 745 00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:01.199 my house because I was I'm nice to be there. 746 00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:03.440 My attorney had all. 747 00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:04.639 Of this on record. 748 00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:09.000 How did they get you evicted? 749 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:10.639 They did. 750 00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.119 We left because of the torments. We have them coming 751 00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:17.239 to the house and tormenting us every single day. We 752 00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:20.000 have videos of them surveillancing the home. 753 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:24.679 We have her We said you know what, they've never 754 00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:27.239 paid it. If it was a release, there's no money 755 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:28.880 that was ever forwarded to me. 756 00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:31.440 We couldn't. 757 00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:34.559 But what about that that was not a lease? They 758 00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:34.960 wrote it? 759 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.480 Well, hold on, hold on, that's ruth. Hold on, that's 760 00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:42.440 a great question. Did you ever pay her? 761 00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:46.239 I couldn't, Joanna, what does that mean you couldn't? 762 00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:49.440 Well? When she was in the hospital, Sir, I am 763 00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:53.320 a single person and I don't have any money, and 764 00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:58.239 I was literally in a situation from leaving a very 765 00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:01.920 leaving a sit okay situation. So I thought I was 766 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.679 helping my mother in the process here. And when I 767 00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.480 was assisting her and rehaving her house her, I did 768 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:09.920 not have a job. I was an independent contractor. 769 00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:14.079 So what did the lease say? Zero rent? 770 00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:15.159 No? 771 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:20.320 It said that I would pay well, was a January first, 772 00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:23.599 that we would start to lease January first? That would 773 00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:26.280 give me enough time in order to help her sort 774 00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:29.159 out her medical stuff. I was applying with the state 775 00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:32.079 in order to be her caregiver. And that's when she 776 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:35.000 started to freak out, because you can get assistance on 777 00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:38.320 helping her and taking care of her, and that money 778 00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:42.280 would have regenerated to put back in her pocket to 779 00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:43.760 pay the freaking credit cards. 780 00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:47.800 You know, ladies, this whole this whole thing, Oh wow, 781 00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:51.039 this whole thing is just nuts. And I got to 782 00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:54.519 say this. You guys are separated now, you're not living there, 783 00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:56.960 so I don't even think that's an issue anymore. 784 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.639 I was homeless. I literally left and lived in my 785 00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:02.800 car because I literally. 786 00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:05.239 Could not stand the amount of abuse this woman has 787 00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:07.239 put me through for the last fifty two years. 788 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.920 Ah, that's what I was asking before. When did this begin? 789 00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:14.800 Yees, fifty two years ago. I have documentation that she 790 00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:18.280 has been obsessed with my whole entire life for fifty 791 00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:21.559 two years since I since birth. This woman, you can't 792 00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:23.480 even give me the details. 793 00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:23.800 Of my birth. 794 00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:26.679 She said that I was born and she thought it 795 00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:28.039 was she had the flu. 796 00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:29.480 She can't tell me. 797 00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:33.639 How long she I was born in a crossfire hurricane exactly. 798 00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:35.920 And then my kidnapt me when I was. 799 00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:39.559 Five from wait Water Dad. Your dad kidnapped you. 800 00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:43.000 You kidnapped me when I was five from her, and 801 00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:44.960 the set replaced me back to her. 802 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:48.559 She did have her as we got the makings of 803 00:46:48.599 --> 00:46:51.679 a song here. Not only that, this is like we 804 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:56.199 could re erect the Jerry Springer Show. I just have 805 00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:59.000 one last question for you. Joanna, I just have one 806 00:46:59.079 --> 00:46:59.719 last question for you. 807 00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:02.000 Said that the city would not allow your mother to 808 00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:04.800 move back into that house unless some situation was remedied. 809 00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:07.320 First, I didn't do this. How did you get that notice? 810 00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:11.719 I see somebody said that the city? Am I the 811 00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:14.320 only one who heard Mark said it? I said Mark 812 00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:17.519 said that. I Mark said that because Duardo said that. 813 00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:18.840 Is he the contractor? 814 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:19.320 Oh? 815 00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:23.800 Okay, yeah, yes, I know. Duardo said that these prepared 816 00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:24.639 to be made. 817 00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:29.599 They had to because the system. 818 00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:32.880 Was Well you're yeah, I understand your idea of needing 819 00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:35.199 to be made in the cities is a little different. 820 00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:37.639 So that's all. But let me just say this and 821 00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:40.320 then Tom finish up with these guys. But you guys 822 00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:43.880 are separated now. It's evident for fifty two years you 823 00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:47.119 can't stand each other. So I'd suggest you stay away 824 00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:49.400 from each other. And as far as you go, Ruth, 825 00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:52.159 that contractor once again is going to have to send 826 00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:54.960 you a ten day notice to lean, and he's got 827 00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:58.039 to do that within four months, and then actually lean 828 00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:00.719 the property, and then from four months of when he 829 00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:04.239 left your house, within six months, he's got to basically 830 00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:08.119 file an action or file a court date and serve 831 00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:11.360 you and then you guys will go and you either 832 00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:13.039 owe it or not. It'll be up to a job. 833 00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:13.440 I think. 834 00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:17.559 I think Eduardo. I think Eduardo's already too late to 835 00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:21.159 do a lean. He called us in January, so let's 836 00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:25.400 just say February, March, April, May. He's coming up on 837 00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:26.519 four months right now. 838 00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:29.719 Yeah, so that's it. Ruster's probably on this thing anybody 839 00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:32.559 can do. He can lean your property, but he'll never 840 00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:35.840 be able to make it valid. And I think it's 841 00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:39.960 a shame a mother and daughter and have such such issues. 842 00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:43.199 I remember having issues with my parents growing up. 843 00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:48.920 But my god, Yeah, I left we at fifteen years old, 844 00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:51.280 and I have never turned back. I thought I was 845 00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.159 helping her, but you you. 846 00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:55.639 Just moved in with her. You did turn back, Not 847 00:48:55.760 --> 00:48:59.079 that I care, but don't say you never turned back. Well, 848 00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:01.559 I came back because I thought I because she said 849 00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:05.000 she thought she was helping. Yeah, she thought she was helping. 850 00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:06.840 This is Oil and Water Day. 851 00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:09.880 This September twenty second. She said, oh you'll you'll get 852 00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:10.760 the house at least. 853 00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:14.199 I'll give you the How So I thought I was, 854 00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:16.719 you know, working on keeping an inheritance. 855 00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:21.079 Yeah, but you didn't.

No, no, 870 00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:04.119 there's not much we can do about it. But Ley 871 00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:06.960 deputy docs chomping on the bit here.

And then this was happening constant 918 00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:38.119 for at least at least until mid April. And I 919 00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:41.519 would go to the office and tell them I'm getting sick. 920 00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:44.840 We'd have to clean up everything, and I said, there's 921 00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:48.760 something to smell. Is just getting awful. The floor is 922 00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:53.599 turning blackish brown all over, and I'm getting sick. They said, well, 923 00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:57.559 I don't know we'll we'll see. The executive director came 924 00:52:57.599 --> 00:52:59.239 over and said, well, I'll put a work order in 925 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:02.320 and they'll come in shampoo the carpets that never happened. 926 00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:04.639 These are all is this Section eight? 927 00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:08.960 Out of curiosity, Well, this is a thing they say, 928 00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:11.719 this is starting housing authority, and this is what I've 929 00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:15.239 been told. It's an entity of its own. They're not hood, 930 00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:17.559 but they have to go by head rules. 931 00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:18.800 They're not sectional. 932 00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:22.679 But Nancy, that the only reason I asked that is 933 00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:25.599 I didn't know if I wanted to understand if you 934 00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:28.679 had other options, like if you could go Mark into 935 00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:31.039 another complex. Mark. 936 00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:34.719 Housing Authority homes are not Section eight Section eight are 937 00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:39.199 usually private homes that apply for Section eight private owners. 938 00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:41.119 This is a This is a. 939 00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:48.280 This is agency owned. Housing authorities are hold on. 940 00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:54.920 Housing authorities are organizations that own properties and get government subsidies. 941 00:53:55.400 --> 00:54:00.280 They pass those subsidies on to qualified tenants. So here's 942 00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:02.039 what I want to know. You said this started in 943 00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:03.360 twenty twenty four. 944 00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:07.880 Yes, in December. Yes, and then finally moved me because 945 00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:10.400 I went to the board, which is the one that 946 00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:12.679 makes the decisions here at this housing is already okay. 947 00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:14.679 I went to the board and told them how sick 948 00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:17.159 I was getting, I was moving hair, I was losing weight, 949 00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:19.960 I was everything okay, So they moved. 950 00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:20.039 Me to it. 951 00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:24.400 Where did they move you to another apartment complex? 952 00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:24.679 Now? 953 00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:25.320 What's going on? 954 00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:26.880 Now? What's going on? 955 00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:29.960 They didn't treat the other apartment until I moved out, 956 00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:31.840 and then I told them I do not want to 957 00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:35.119 move here until I know you're cross contaminating bringing all 958 00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:37.519 my stuff from this old house too new. She said, 959 00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:40.000 they sprayed some stuff and had somebody spray it. Well, 960 00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:42.679 I get here and I start getting stick again. Well, 961 00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:45.440 they had contractors come in and they determined there was 962 00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:49.320 black mold here, there's termites. They have my wall off 963 00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:53.760 still from April twenty first, they have all the dry 964 00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:56.559 wall off in the front window beside the windowstill and 965 00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:59.480 have not came and put anything over it. There's hot 966 00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:02.559 wires and there's no plastic on it. 967 00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:04.400 At first I had to put in a work order. 968 00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:04.880 Nancy. 969 00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:07.440 It sounds horrible, but I still have that same question. 970 00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:11.880 Do you have the ability to move somewhere else if 971 00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:13.599 we could help you break this lease? 972 00:55:14.719 --> 00:55:16.760 No, because I didn't even have to break it. Now 973 00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:19.440 they're saying because I did not pay my rent for 974 00:55:19.599 --> 00:55:22.760 an inhabitable reason that they're going to start with the 975 00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:25.280 viction procedures. I said, well, you know what, you broke 976 00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:27.920 my lease first by not taking care of all of everything, 977 00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:29.159 because I've given everything abuse. 978 00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:36.039 Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, let me let me just let me 979 00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:39.039 give you some truth. Truth is what you need right now. 980 00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:42.079 If you did not pay rent, you're going to get evicted. 981 00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:43.880 You're not allowed to withhold rent. 982 00:55:44.920 --> 00:55:45.519 Well, I have it. 983 00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:49.119 I have it, say thet to put aside until everything's 984 00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:51.280 taken care of. It's not that I'm not paying, it's 985 00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:53.679 I'm withholding until they take care of all the things 986 00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:55.239 that are supposed to be taking care of for me 987 00:55:55.360 --> 00:55:55.800 to be here. 988 00:55:55.679 --> 00:55:59.400 They're habitable or that's not Nancy, that's just simply not 989 00:55:59.480 --> 00:56:02.039 the way you're supposed to do it according to Colorado law. 990 00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:05.440 Tom will tell you how to do it properly. Yeah. 991 00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:08.559 Now, the first thing we need to do is let's 992 00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:11.119 see if we can call them and simply get them 993 00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:14.800 to make the repairs. We'll get you in another apartment. 994 00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:21.639 And director, Yeah, you can never get ahold executive director 995 00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:25.599 because she doesn't like confrontations. She doesn't like to admit 996 00:56:25.679 --> 00:56:27.679 her wrong. She threw all my stuff out of starge 997 00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:29.960 and light about it, have it on video and said 998 00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:31.960 she had nothing to do with it. When the maintenance 999 00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:33.639 people said there, she's the one that told them to 1000 00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:41.800 do it. So, I mean, so right now, Colorado, they 1001 00:56:41.840 --> 00:56:42.719 didn't even do anything. 1002 00:56:44.400 --> 00:56:46.000 They don't they don't control it. 1003 00:56:46.840 --> 00:56:49.440 Well, they said that they will, They'll have the commissioner 1004 00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:51.960 come out and speak and sit down. If that never happened, 1005 00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:54.320 I want to get somebody out here to do a 1006 00:56:54.440 --> 00:56:58.639 real We have people get all sick.

They just said, oh, 1025 00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:44.239 we'll take care of it, and they don't. This has 1026 00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.199 meant that they're put twenty third our walls. 1027 00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:48.800 Or communications and all of our work orders on our records. 1028 00:57:49.119 --> 00:57:51.360 They won't give us our file, they won't give us 1029 00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:53.480 the report from the contractors that came in of what 1030 00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:56.119 they found.

Now, this one's interesting. 1113 01:02:19.559 --> 01:02:23.039 We're going to go to this call. And here's the deal. 1114 01:02:23.159 --> 01:02:27.840 Brad said he's got a possible issue with an illegal 1115 01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:30.760 search of a car. Hey Brad, is it your car? 1116 01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:34.280 Uh? Yes, it was my car? 1117 01:02:34.639 --> 01:02:36.360 So what happened? Tell us the story? 1118 01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:41.760 All right, So let me fast forward past the search 1119 01:02:41.880 --> 01:02:43.719 because that's not the important part. 1120 01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:44.239 Okay. 1121 01:02:44.280 --> 01:02:50.320 The important part is when my vehicle was impounded. I 1122 01:02:50.440 --> 01:02:53.840 live in Colorado Springs. This happened in Manitou Springs, which 1123 01:02:53.920 --> 01:03:00.159 is just west of Colorado Springs, the impound lot. I 1124 01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:04.800 went directly there once I was released from jail, and 1125 01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:08.599 I proved I had to prove that was my vehicle 1126 01:03:09.039 --> 01:03:15.880 by showing the tow company all sorts of documentation from insurance. 1127 01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:19.960 To just show the registration of the car that would 1128 01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:22.880 match your name on your driver's license. It's pretty straightforward. 1129 01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:25.719 I think they need insurance before they release it, mark. 1130 01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:30.199 They need all sorts of stuff. The problem therein lies. 1131 01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:33.320 I had just purchased the vehicle, so I hadn't gotten 1132 01:03:33.360 --> 01:03:36.920 it registered yet in my name. Okay, so all I 1133 01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:40.280 had was insurance. I have, you know, all the documentation 1134 01:03:40.519 --> 01:03:42.119 from the dealership that I bought it from. 1135 01:03:42.239 --> 01:03:43.880 Got it so you had the bill of sale, you 1136 01:03:43.960 --> 01:03:44.880 had everything. 1137 01:03:45.159 --> 01:03:48.480 Everything, everything, and it was enough for them to let 1138 01:03:48.559 --> 01:03:52.039 me into my vehicle to get some of my belongings out. 1139 01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:56.400 What happened was I was supposed to come back in 1140 01:03:56.760 --> 01:04:00.280 about two weeks with the money to pay get my 1141 01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:06.360 truck out. The owner of the company disappeared once that 1142 01:04:06.480 --> 01:04:11.119 two weeks came around, and second in charge told me, 1143 01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:14.440 you know what, get over it. Your vehicle's already gone. 1144 01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:17.760 What does that happen? Within? Wait a second, within how 1145 01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:19.239 many days did this happen? 1146 01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:24.239 I was in jail for ten days when I went 1147 01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:27.519 directly to the TOE company. 1148 01:04:28.360 --> 01:04:30.920 That was so hold on a second, Brad, I just 1149 01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:33.599 want to make sure I got this timeframe somewhat straight. 1150 01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:38.480 You get arrested, the car gets impounded, right, yep, and 1151 01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:41.519 then you get out of jail ten days later, and 1152 01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:45.320 your car is gone at that point or no, No, 1153 01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:48.559 that's when they allowed you. That's when they allowed you 1154 01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:50.000 to get stuff out of the car. 1155 01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:53.719 Correct, And then I came up with the money. 1156 01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:55.719 And then when did you come up with the money? 1157 01:04:55.760 --> 01:04:56.559 How much longer? 1158 01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:01.280 Well was it about two weeks later? 1159 01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:01.960 It was? 1160 01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:06.280 So we're still talking under a month's time. Now your 1161 01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:09.480 car is no longer there, which. 1162 01:05:09.719 --> 01:05:12.760 That month's time is a very important piece of information 1163 01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:18.719 because legally TOE companies have thirty days. Once that thirty 1164 01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:21.880 day mark hits, they can legally take possession of your vehicle. 1165 01:05:22.800 --> 01:05:25.639 Well, listen, I'm going to I'm not going to argue 1166 01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:28.360 or talk about that part of it right now. What 1167 01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:31.119 I want to know is, first of all, you're only 1168 01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:34.559 talking about twenty four days. So you walked back there 1169 01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:37.800 in twenty four days and they said too bad, so 1170 01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:39.639 sad your car's already gone. 1171 01:05:41.199 --> 01:05:44.239 In twenty four days. I called and said, hey, I 1172 01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:47.840 have the money. Can I come get my vehicle? The 1173 01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:51.320 secretary said, yes, your vehicle's here. Yes, it's going to 1174 01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:55.599 be twenty two hundred dollars. I said, okay, my check. 1175 01:05:55.840 --> 01:05:58.519 I'll had to check on Friday, which was just a 1176 01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:01.280 couple of days later. Yeah, we had a time set 1177 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:03.880 to come up and get my vehicle. She and I 1178 01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:06.360 was like, man, twenty two hundred, that's a lot of money. 1179 01:06:06.840 --> 01:06:08.440 She said, you know what, before I let you go, 1180 01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:10.719 hold on, let me put you on the phone with 1181 01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:13.400 my supervisor. He might be able to work with you 1182 01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:14.599 on the on the price. 1183 01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:16.320 Okay, I got on the phone. 1184 01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:19.679 His name is Dave, he's the second in charge. He 1185 01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:25.280 told me, you know what, your car's already gone. Get 1186 01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:25.679 over it. 1187 01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:29.320 And where did he go? Where did the car go? 1188 01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:34.199 Still there? I drove immediately up to the tow company 1189 01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:36.599 and my truck was sitting in their line. 1190 01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:39.000 What kind of car is it?

So what was that? 1215 01:07:50.960 --> 01:07:53.239 Did the charges get dropped? What happened? 1216 01:07:54.719 --> 01:07:54.760 So? 1217 01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:59.159 Yeah, I got pulled over for bid? What was it? 1218 01:07:59.599 --> 01:08:01.760 Uh? I don't know why they pulled you over, but 1219 01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:03.599 you didn't have insurance groups. 1220 01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:07.079 So they pulled me over. I believe it was my 1221 01:08:07.480 --> 01:08:10.480 license plate because the vehicle was brand new, so I 1222 01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:13.679 had a paper license plate still the temp tag. Sure, 1223 01:08:14.119 --> 01:08:18.079 so he said he couldn't. I believe he couldn't see 1224 01:08:18.640 --> 01:08:22.640 what the tag said, So that was his BS reason. 1225 01:08:22.680 --> 01:08:24.720 I guess, all right, that's fine. So what happened then? 1226 01:08:26.479 --> 01:08:29.800 So they arrested me for. 1227 01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:33.079 All right? 1228 01:08:33.159 --> 01:08:33.800 Let me back up. 1229 01:08:34.039 --> 01:08:36.800 Well, it's not that hard of a question. I mean, 1230 01:08:36.960 --> 01:08:39.880 was it, DUI? What was it? Did you have a warrant? 1231 01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:40.479 What was it? 1232 01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:42.800 No insurance? 1233 01:08:43.479 --> 01:08:46.079 They arrested you and put you in jail for thirty 1234 01:08:46.159 --> 01:08:47.520 days for no insurance. 1235 01:08:48.840 --> 01:08:54.000 The no insurance was the reason that they continued on 1236 01:08:54.199 --> 01:08:57.119 with it when they did not find anything in my vehicle. 1237 01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:01.359 They found a wallet that belonged to a very good 1238 01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:04.319 friend of mine underneath the passenger seat that he had 1239 01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:12.159 left there. Yeah, and they arrested me legitimately for identity sest. 1240 01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:14.520 But it was a friend of yours? 1241 01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:15.680 Yes? 1242 01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:19.279 Yes, did that friend report the wallet stolen? 1243 01:09:20.439 --> 01:09:20.479 No? 1244 01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:24.199 Well, then, Brad, none of this makes sense. Here's what 1245 01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:27.960 I'm gonna do, though. I've got a criminal defense attorney 1246 01:09:28.039 --> 01:09:30.720 coming on after this, and we're going to ask him 1247 01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:34.439 about the rules when vehicles are towed and they're impounded, 1248 01:09:34.560 --> 01:09:37.920 because he deals with DUIs constantly. We're going to figure 1249 01:09:37.960 --> 01:09:41.319 out exactly that. I don't quite understand why you would 1250 01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:46.119 do thirty days based upon your friend's wallet was underneath 1251 01:09:46.199 --> 01:09:49.279 or I'm sorry, ten days your friend's wallet was under 1252 01:09:49.319 --> 01:09:52.119 your seat. That makes no sense. Was there drugs in 1253 01:09:52.199 --> 01:09:55.079 the car? Was the car stolen? Was there anything else 1254 01:09:55.159 --> 01:09:55.960 that we should know? 1255 01:09:57.479 --> 01:10:00.960 No, the car belonged to me. It was in cash 1256 01:10:01.039 --> 01:10:03.560 from an inheritance that I received I paid for. 1257 01:10:03.680 --> 01:10:07.279 Yeah, you said, okay, but but I didn't mean did 1258 01:10:07.359 --> 01:10:09.680 you steal it? I'm saying, did they find something else 1259 01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:12.239 wrong with the vehicle?

I'm still not quite understanding why you got arrested, 1312 01:13:24.359 --> 01:13:27.479 but that's not really his question. He got pulled over. 1313 01:13:28.800 --> 01:13:31.840 The license plate was one of these temporaries. And I'm 1314 01:13:32.039 --> 01:13:35.960 kind of talking to Joe Lazara, our criminal defense expert, 1315 01:13:36.039 --> 01:13:38.960 and I'll bring Joe up. He gets pulled over because 1316 01:13:39.000 --> 01:13:40.800 he's got a tempt tag on the cops that he 1317 01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:44.439 couldn't read it, and he did not have insurance on 1318 01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:48.239 the vehicle or proof of insurance. I should say, Brad, 1319 01:13:48.319 --> 01:13:51.239 actually that's a question. Did you actually have insurance or 1320 01:13:51.319 --> 01:13:52.439 not proof of insurance? 1321 01:13:54.239 --> 01:13:54.399 Yes? 1322 01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:57.039 I had insurance, you just didn't have proof. 1323 01:13:59.159 --> 01:14:03.199 I did have, but they they wouldn't even look at 1324 01:14:03.319 --> 01:14:06.439 my phone for the proof of insurance. 1325 01:14:06.439 --> 01:14:09.039 All right. And then but basically then what happened is 1326 01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:13.560 they found a wallet after they searched the car. They 1327 01:14:13.720 --> 01:14:16.520 used the tag. I guess what did they use? What 1328 01:14:16.760 --> 01:14:18.560 reason did they use for the search? 1329 01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:21.760 They couldn't read my license plate tag. 1330 01:14:22.720 --> 01:14:27.399 Okay, hold on, I just want to Yeah, the reason 1331 01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:32.600 I lost you for a second. Say it again. 1332 01:14:32.680 --> 01:14:36.560 Bred they said they saw a meth pipe in my car. 1333 01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:38.720 Oh okay, well you left that out. That's why they 1334 01:14:38.760 --> 01:14:41.079 were searching your car. I mean, well, that's a pretty 1335 01:14:41.119 --> 01:14:44.079 straightforward one. Was there a meth pipe in there or not. 1336 01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:48.039 No, it was the end of a curtain rod. 1337 01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:50.560 It was the end of a curtain rod. But that's 1338 01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:53.680 why they searched it. Hey, Joe, first of all, just 1339 01:14:53.840 --> 01:14:57.439 diving into this. Joe Lazara, he's on referral list dot com. 1340 01:14:57.560 --> 01:15:00.439 He is our expert for personal injury. He has helped 1341 01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:03.800 out so many listeners over the years, from DUIs to 1342 01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:07.880 murder cases. It's unbelievable. But Joe, let me ask you 1343 01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:10.960 right now. If they see a curtain rod and they 1344 01:15:11.039 --> 01:15:14.000 think it's a meth pipe and they search the car 1345 01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:17.359 based upon that evidence, when they find out it's a 1346 01:15:17.479 --> 01:15:19.520 curtain rod, what happens anything? 1347 01:15:20.920 --> 01:15:24.800 Yeah, I mean, there's generally searches are illegal unless you 1348 01:15:24.880 --> 01:15:28.199 have a warrant, but there are exceptions like search incidents 1349 01:15:28.279 --> 01:15:33.880 or rest consent. If there's what's called a protective sweep, 1350 01:15:34.760 --> 01:15:38.479 or do you have an inventory search, or they see 1351 01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:41.119 something in plaint of view. So if they see something 1352 01:15:41.199 --> 01:15:45.600 and suspect it's a meth pipe, once they inspect that 1353 01:15:45.760 --> 01:15:48.000 and determine it, the question then toy come to that 1354 01:15:48.119 --> 01:15:52.319 search continued. That's right, that's a big legal question. That's 1355 01:15:52.359 --> 01:15:56.880 an argument whether or not they can continue to go 1356 01:15:57.039 --> 01:15:59.920 beyond that. Well, apparently they can articulate those. 1357 01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:04.239 Apparently in this case, Joe, they went beyond it and 1358 01:16:04.800 --> 01:16:09.119 under his seat was a wallet and that wallet didn't 1359 01:16:09.199 --> 01:16:13.119 belong to him, but according to the caller, Brad, it 1360 01:16:13.319 --> 01:16:16.960 did belong to a really good friend of his. It 1361 01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:21.720 must have dropped it in your vehicle. Brad, Yes, yes, 1362 01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:24.279 but you just bought the vehicle when was your friend 1363 01:16:24.359 --> 01:16:24.520 in it? 1364 01:16:26.079 --> 01:16:27.199 Just a few days prior. 1365 01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:30.319 Okay, so they found the wallet, and here's where I 1366 01:16:30.399 --> 01:16:32.479 get a little lost on this, and I'm going to 1367 01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:35.399 get to his actual question, but I'm just curious. So 1368 01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:39.680 they arrested him, what exactly was to charge? They arrested 1369 01:16:39.920 --> 01:16:44.600 you on, Bradh. 1370 01:16:44.079 --> 01:16:52.359 Criminal impersonation, criminal criminal impersonation identity theft. I'm sorry thet 1371 01:16:52.560 --> 01:16:55.359 did you tell them that you were somebody else? 1372 01:16:55.399 --> 01:16:57.600 I mean, what if I was, if Joe was to 1373 01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:00.279 talk to the cop. What would they say. They're going 1374 01:17:00.359 --> 01:17:04.039 to say, because we found his friend's wallet under his seat, 1375 01:17:04.399 --> 01:17:07.039 we threw him in jail for ten days. They're simply 1376 01:17:07.159 --> 01:17:08.960 not going to tell us that. So what would they 1377 01:17:09.079 --> 01:17:10.439 tell us? Right or wrong? 1378 01:17:12.359 --> 01:17:15.880 So they thought they saw the MES pipe when it 1379 01:17:16.000 --> 01:17:19.199 turns up it wasn't a MES pipe. They continued their 1380 01:17:19.319 --> 01:17:25.479 search of my vehicle, hoping, planning on finding something, some 1381 01:17:25.680 --> 01:17:29.279 sort of drug paraphernalia something. When they didn't and found 1382 01:17:29.319 --> 01:17:31.760 the wallet, That's what they ended up going with, Brad. 1383 01:17:31.800 --> 01:17:34.279 Why just you're acting like they had it out for 1384 01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:36.960 you If they can't read the license plate and they 1385 01:17:37.079 --> 01:17:39.239 pull you over to want to make sure that that 1386 01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:42.960 license plate belongs on the vehicle, it's not a stolen vehicle. 1387 01:17:43.239 --> 01:17:44.960 Why do you think they had it out for you? 1388 01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:47.439 Did they run you? And you've been in a lot 1389 01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:50.640 of trouble before, But why would a cop simply pull 1390 01:17:50.760 --> 01:17:54.439 somebody over because they can't read the license plate and 1391 01:17:54.600 --> 01:17:56.720 then look for a reason to throw them in jail. 1392 01:17:56.800 --> 01:17:57.640 I don't understand. 1393 01:17:58.840 --> 01:18:00.600 I didn't either, Joe. 1394 01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:03.279 What do you Joe, just talk about that real quick. 1395 01:18:03.520 --> 01:18:06.960 I mean, maybe I'm being too skeptical, but what helped 1396 01:18:07.000 --> 01:18:07.439 me out here? 1397 01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:11.199 Yeah, I think he may have some legal issues. It's 1398 01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:14.159 hard without knowing all the facts. But usually when you're 1399 01:18:14.199 --> 01:18:17.920 dealing with identity that that's knowingly you or possessing someone 1400 01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:22.600 else's personal or financial information without permission to gain something 1401 01:18:22.680 --> 01:18:26.000 of value. And so there's got to be something going 1402 01:18:26.119 --> 01:18:28.399 on that we're not being told. 1403 01:18:28.479 --> 01:18:30.680 So another words, I arrested. 1404 01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:34.039 You're generally in front of a judge within forty eight hours. 1405 01:18:34.359 --> 01:18:35.680 Yeah, what happened there, Brad? 1406 01:18:37.319 --> 01:18:39.920 I wasn't in front of a judge in forty eight hours. 1407 01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:41.960 It took ten days for me to see a judge. 1408 01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:44.399 And immediately when I went in front of the judge, 1409 01:18:44.479 --> 01:18:46.399 they dismissed all charges. 1410 01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:51.119 What do you do it, Joe? Joe, this isn't even 1411 01:18:51.199 --> 01:18:53.239 why he called wait till I tell you that. But 1412 01:18:53.640 --> 01:18:55.199 what do you do with this point? 1413 01:18:58.239 --> 01:19:00.800 Well, I mean, if that's the case, I mean, obviously 1414 01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:02.399 he can seal that he wants to make sure that 1415 01:19:02.520 --> 01:19:06.760 that's sealed, but he should talk to an attorney there. Hypothetically, 1416 01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:09.199 I mean, I can't speak for this right now, though. 1417 01:19:09.279 --> 01:19:13.119 No On Morman hypothetically may have a claim because if 1418 01:19:13.199 --> 01:19:14.439 what he's saying is legit. 1419 01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:19.640 It's false in prison made. Yes, I mean, that's the 1420 01:19:19.800 --> 01:19:23.760 craziest thing ever, Brad. I just I'm so skeptical of 1421 01:19:23.880 --> 01:19:26.880 your story. But here's what happened, Joe. Let's move on 1422 01:19:27.079 --> 01:19:30.439 with this. So when he's arrested and he's in jail 1423 01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:35.159 for ten days, the vehicle gets impounded, the vehicle. He 1424 01:19:35.319 --> 01:19:38.960 gets out in ten days, and he can't afford to 1425 01:19:39.039 --> 01:19:41.920 get the vehicle out of impound, so he's got to wait, 1426 01:19:42.119 --> 01:19:45.359 make some money. He saves up the money, gets the money, 1427 01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:51.520 goes or calls calls to the yard within twenty four days, 1428 01:19:51.640 --> 01:19:58.159 according to him, twenty four days of the car getting towed. Okay, yes, 1429 01:19:58.279 --> 01:20:00.880 they say it's they go ahead, had Brad tail Joe. 1430 01:20:00.960 --> 01:20:02.039 They said they sold it. 1431 01:20:03.239 --> 01:20:06.479 So I was in contact with them. I went to 1432 01:20:06.680 --> 01:20:09.880 the shop. I talked to the owner in detail. I 1433 01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:12.880 showed them all of my information. I was in contact 1434 01:20:12.920 --> 01:20:16.439 with him over the phone, letting him know I was working, 1435 01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:20.039 I'm making the money. I'll be there surely. Listen. I 1436 01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:22.520 was living out of my vehicle at the time, all 1437 01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:24.520 of my personal Brad. 1438 01:20:24.600 --> 01:20:27.439 Stick to the story, though, Stick to the timeframe. Ten 1439 01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:29.880 days you get out, When did they let you get 1440 01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:31.039 stuff out of your vehicle. 1441 01:20:32.239 --> 01:20:33.920 Gay Day eleven, Day. 1442 01:20:33.800 --> 01:20:36.439 Eleven, Joe. They let him get stuff out, so apparently 1443 01:20:36.560 --> 01:20:39.000 he could prove some way that it was his because 1444 01:20:39.039 --> 01:20:41.840 they let him in the vehicle. Then he calls up 1445 01:20:41.960 --> 01:20:45.720 it to twenty fourth day. Right, Yes, and what did 1446 01:20:45.760 --> 01:20:46.239 they tell you? 1447 01:20:47.399 --> 01:20:49.640 I had plans on coming back to get my vehicle. 1448 01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:52.039 They all knew that. The owner of the company knew it. 1449 01:20:52.800 --> 01:20:55.880 The owner of the company disappears. He goes on vacation 1450 01:20:56.880 --> 01:21:00.319 to wherever. Nobody's telling me where the owner went. Gay 1451 01:21:00.439 --> 01:21:04.039 twenty four. I call and say, listen, I have the money. 1452 01:21:04.399 --> 01:21:06.960 I'll be there on Friday when I get my paycheck. 1453 01:21:07.439 --> 01:21:10.159 The secretary said, yeah, your car's here. It's going to 1454 01:21:10.159 --> 01:21:12.960 be twenty two hundred bucks. We'll see you on Friday. 1455 01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:15.840 Before she hung up, she put me on the phone 1456 01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:19.760 with the second in charge. That man Dave, his name's Dave. 1457 01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:24.199 Told me your truck's already gone. Get over it, it's gone. 1458 01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:25.640 You lost your vehicles. 1459 01:21:25.880 --> 01:21:28.920 Then hold on, Ben, this is on the twenty fourth day. 1460 01:21:29.039 --> 01:21:29.720 Is that correct? 1461 01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:31.359 That's correct? 1462 01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:34.279 Then you drive down there. Hold on, Brad. Then you 1463 01:21:34.520 --> 01:21:37.600 drive down there and your truck is sitting there right 1464 01:21:38.600 --> 01:21:39.279 it's still there. 1465 01:21:39.399 --> 01:21:44.800 Correct. Then what happens then the same guy, Dave, who 1466 01:21:44.840 --> 01:21:46.880 I talked to on the phone, as I'm looking at 1467 01:21:46.960 --> 01:21:49.880 my vehicle, saying, you lied to me. My truck's right there, 1468 01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:52.960 he said, What I meant is that your truck has 1469 01:21:53.000 --> 01:21:56.520 already gone, as in, you don't own it anymore. It's 1470 01:21:56.600 --> 01:21:57.479 now our vehicle. 1471 01:21:57.800 --> 01:21:59.880 And that was on what towing company. 1472 01:22:01.199 --> 01:22:03.800 Just it doesn't matter what the towing company is it, Dimitri, 1473 01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:06.880 it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I'll tell you why, 1474 01:22:07.039 --> 01:22:10.239 because none of those laws apply. None of the laws 1475 01:22:10.279 --> 01:22:12.800 you're thinking I apply on a police pull like this. 1476 01:22:13.279 --> 01:22:17.600 This is all it's I know, no, I know. I'd 1477 01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:19.680 still like to verify the story with the towing company 1478 01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:21.439 and get their time. I got you, I got you, 1479 01:22:21.560 --> 01:22:24.439 But Brad, finish up. So they're telling you you're staring 1480 01:22:24.520 --> 01:22:26.279 at it. They're saying they already sold it. 1481 01:22:27.319 --> 01:22:29.960 They already sold it. He said, all of my property 1482 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:33.279 has gone out of the vehicle. I have voice recordings 1483 01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:36.920 of them saying that they gave my stuff to all 1484 01:22:36.960 --> 01:22:41.279 the employees at the lot, which, oh, that's besides the 1485 01:22:41.319 --> 01:22:44.000 point as well. But that's a lot more money missing 1486 01:22:44.399 --> 01:22:48.680 right there. And that's it like they basically told me 1487 01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:49.520 get off their line. 1488 01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:51.520 And when was this? Now? I need to know this, 1489 01:22:51.680 --> 01:22:54.399 and I want Joe to talk. How long ago was this? 1490 01:22:54.640 --> 01:22:57.479 When was that twenty fourth day? Like last week? Or 1491 01:22:57.520 --> 01:22:59.279 a year ago? What are we talking about? 1492 01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:02.199 No, we're talking like a year and a half ago 1493 01:23:02.239 --> 01:23:02.760 at this point. 1494 01:23:02.960 --> 01:23:05.760 Oh my god, God, Well, how would we ever verify? 1495 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:08.359 Why didn't you lead with? Why are you calling a 1496 01:23:08.439 --> 01:23:10.720 year and a half later, Brad, For the life of me. 1497 01:23:12.000 --> 01:23:15.920 Listen, I went to the judge and I have a 1498 01:23:16.159 --> 01:23:22.000 court order with a court case stating I'll read it 1499 01:23:22.079 --> 01:23:26.119 to you right now, release the vehicle to Brad Koza 1500 01:23:26.399 --> 01:23:31.880 my name immediately granted from the judge and taller Towney, 1501 01:23:32.760 --> 01:23:36.319 I have a court case granted releases. When was that 1502 01:23:36.479 --> 01:23:41.119 when I went to this is November third, twenty twenty three. 1503 01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:44.039 Keep going. 1504 01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:47.279 The reason it's the reason it's taken so long, Tom, 1505 01:23:47.560 --> 01:23:51.520 is because I've exhausted so many other Brad. 1506 01:23:51.720 --> 01:23:54.079 When you when you brought that, when you brought that 1507 01:23:54.439 --> 01:23:58.319 order to the impound yard, what did they do. 1508 01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:02.640 At me? And should get off of my yard? Or 1509 01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:03.279 I'm calling all right? 1510 01:24:03.319 --> 01:24:04.920 That's it now hold on now, I just want to 1511 01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:08.239 hold on Joe. It's a lot to absorb. Let's take 1512 01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:11.199 him at face value. What would you do? 1513 01:24:13.199 --> 01:24:18.239 I mean, clearly, if what he's saying is true about 1514 01:24:18.319 --> 01:24:21.239 the impound lot, I think they broke the law and 1515 01:24:21.319 --> 01:24:24.720 there's some legitimate issues. The drawback is it's a year 1516 01:24:24.800 --> 01:24:29.680 and a half later. I don't know, stop on my head. 1517 01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:31.520 As statue of limitations, I don't. 1518 01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:32.079 I would have to. 1519 01:24:33.319 --> 01:24:35.680 Yeah, I would assume it's probably three years as well. 1520 01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:38.920 But I mean, who would he hire to go after this? 1521 01:24:39.039 --> 01:24:42.039 There's so many problems here. I mean you're talking about, 1522 01:24:42.479 --> 01:24:44.520 first of all, should they thrown him in jail for 1523 01:24:44.680 --> 01:24:48.359 ten days and then and they drop all the charges 1524 01:24:48.439 --> 01:24:51.159 and the guy ends up losing his twenty fifteen f 1525 01:24:51.239 --> 01:24:55.039 one fifty. I mean, the whole thing's insane. It's so 1526 01:24:55.239 --> 01:24:57.399 hard to believe it went down this way, but you 1527 01:24:57.520 --> 01:24:58.920 know what these stories happen. 1528 01:25:00.800 --> 01:25:03.359 Yeah, it does sound insane. I mean, tell them to 1529 01:25:03.359 --> 01:25:05.279 give us a call. I'd be weren't happy to chat 1530 01:25:05.359 --> 01:25:08.680 with them. And if I were from out to somebody 1531 01:25:08.720 --> 01:25:11.239 who might be able to handle that, I would want 1532 01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:12.479 to verify the facts. 1533 01:25:12.520 --> 01:25:15.840 And that's the main thing, is a verification. Hold on Joe, 1534 01:25:15.880 --> 01:25:17.960 I got to take this break. I wanted to ask 1535 01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:20.720 you a few generic questions. Brad, you stay on the line. 1536 01:25:20.920 --> 01:25:23.880 Do you have a minute to hang Joe? Yeah?

Hey, 1549 01:26:10.399 --> 01:26:14.399 Joe Lazara, he is one of the best criminal defense 1550 01:26:14.479 --> 01:26:17.880 attorneys I have ever met. Thank god I never had 1551 01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:19.239 to use them, so I don't want to hear the 1552 01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:22.000 jokes out there. But I wouldn't hesitate to call Joe 1553 01:26:22.039 --> 01:26:23.479 if I ended up in a buy and there's no 1554 01:26:23.600 --> 01:26:26.039 doubt about it, Joe, I wanted to ask you this. 1555 01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:30.520 We heard Brad's story, and I'm not talking about necessarily 1556 01:26:31.279 --> 01:26:34.720 the impound yard, although I think they screwed him and 1557 01:26:34.920 --> 01:26:37.520 he's gonna call you. In fact, Kelly, make sure we 1558 01:26:37.680 --> 01:26:42.039 give Brad Joe's office number and Joe will talk to 1559 01:26:42.159 --> 01:26:44.039 him and kind of look into this and figure out 1560 01:26:44.319 --> 01:26:48.479 what direction for Brad. But you know, when you hear 1561 01:26:48.520 --> 01:26:51.239 a story like that, you get pulled over because you 1562 01:26:51.319 --> 01:26:53.800 have a tempt tag on. Well, that's not supposed to happen. 1563 01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:57.039 We all know that. What drives me crazy is I 1564 01:26:57.159 --> 01:26:59.600 buy cars all the time. Right now, one of our 1565 01:26:59.680 --> 01:27:02.279 cars has a TEMP tag on it, and I've never 1566 01:27:02.399 --> 01:27:05.479 been pulled over because of a TEMP tag, So I 1567 01:27:05.560 --> 01:27:08.239 don't know how often it happens. I'm sure it does happen. 1568 01:27:08.600 --> 01:27:13.439 But then the guy claims Brad claims, and I believe him. 1569 01:27:13.439 --> 01:27:15.479 I'm not saying I don't believe them. But the guy 1570 01:27:15.560 --> 01:27:18.399 goes we see a meth pipe, and they go to 1571 01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:21.399 search for the meth pipe because that would be probable 1572 01:27:21.520 --> 01:27:24.159 cause of course, and it turns out to be a 1573 01:27:24.319 --> 01:27:28.359 shower rod. It's like, what the hell? And then they 1574 01:27:28.520 --> 01:27:31.680 continue to search the vehicle, figuring they're going to find something, 1575 01:27:32.039 --> 01:27:35.039 and they find a wallet, and apparently it's his friend's 1576 01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:37.800 wallet that dropped it in the vehicle. He ends up 1577 01:27:37.920 --> 01:27:42.640 getting arrested for false identity, but the friend apparently just 1578 01:27:42.720 --> 01:27:45.520 said no, he didn't use my name or anything. He's 1579 01:27:45.560 --> 01:27:48.159 a friend. I dropped the wallet in the vehicle. Then 1580 01:27:48.640 --> 01:27:51.760 within twenty four days of this happening, he spends ten 1581 01:27:51.880 --> 01:27:55.479 days in jail. Every charge is dismissed, according to him, 1582 01:27:55.720 --> 01:27:58.319 and when he gets out, he can't get his vehicle 1583 01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:02.680 back because they sold it. I mean, how often does 1584 01:28:02.760 --> 01:28:06.600 something like that actually happen. I'm not talking about this case, 1585 01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:10.920 but something so egregious. I mean, think about that, Joe. 1586 01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:13.159 I mean, do you hear of real cases like that? 1587 01:28:14.880 --> 01:28:17.760 You know, we'll come across a temporary getting pulled over 1588 01:28:17.840 --> 01:28:21.119 on a temporary permit or you know, license ate they 1589 01:28:21.199 --> 01:28:23.399 can't read it. Those issues, those pop up a little 1590 01:28:23.399 --> 01:28:27.560 bit more frequently the other information, you know, the impound, 1591 01:28:27.720 --> 01:28:34.000 the jail, the charges getting dismissed, all of that. I 1592 01:28:34.560 --> 01:28:37.479 haven't seen anything like his case. And over thirty you know, 1593 01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:38.399 I've been doing this over. 1594 01:28:38.359 --> 01:28:40.359 Thirdy coming here to the party here. Just remember when 1595 01:28:40.439 --> 01:28:43.199 he was stopped for that temp tag was twenty three. 1596 01:28:43.560 --> 01:28:44.600 Yeah, it was a long time. 1597 01:28:44.600 --> 01:28:47.439 I was really caring about temp tags at that point 1598 01:28:47.439 --> 01:28:48.720 in time, in twenty twenty three. 1599 01:28:49.199 --> 01:28:52.359 Oh yeah, because of COVID. Yeah, you couldn't even get 1600 01:28:52.399 --> 01:28:56.039 a tag. That's that's a hell of a good that's 1601 01:28:56.119 --> 01:28:59.520 a good one. Dragon. I forgot about that DMV, like 1602 01:28:59.640 --> 01:29:02.479 if they were even open. The appointments were a million 1603 01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:06.680 years And well, remember this is Colorado Springs. I know 1604 01:29:06.880 --> 01:29:10.600 in Denver, and I'm talking about just Denver, they would 1605 01:29:10.680 --> 01:29:12.960 not pull you over for an out of date TEMP tag. 1606 01:29:13.039 --> 01:29:15.039 I get it, but I don't know how Colorado Springs was. 1607 01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:19.359 But good point. But Joe, my real I guess I 1608 01:29:19.439 --> 01:29:23.640 don't know if I it's just a hard story to buy. 1609 01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:26.279 I hate to believe that the cops are that bad, 1610 01:29:26.600 --> 01:29:29.720 but we've all heard stories where the wrong person's been 1611 01:29:29.800 --> 01:29:32.399 in jail or in prison, and things like that have 1612 01:29:32.479 --> 01:29:36.560 been proven time and time again. So I just really 1613 01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:40.000 wanted your thoughts on how often. I realize it's probably 1614 01:29:40.079 --> 01:29:43.079 pretty slim pickings, but my god, it's got to happen 1615 01:29:43.159 --> 01:29:45.840 to somebody at some time, right, I. 1616 01:29:45.920 --> 01:29:51.279 Think mistakes happen, obviously. Police officers make mistakes. Sometimes they 1617 01:29:51.399 --> 01:29:54.640 rush to judgment. I agree with that wholeheartedly. But I 1618 01:29:54.800 --> 01:29:58.359 think for the most part, there are a lot of 1619 01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:01.840 really good police officers that are trying to do their job. 1620 01:30:02.600 --> 01:30:05.319 I don't see the mistakes as often as you know, 1621 01:30:05.439 --> 01:30:08.479 the news may make it sound out, you know, sound. 1622 01:30:08.279 --> 01:30:11.960 To be Yeah, well, if they reported on every valid arrest, 1623 01:30:12.159 --> 01:30:14.479 my god, it would be every second of every day. 1624 01:30:14.680 --> 01:30:17.600 Of course, they got to pick out the the unjust ones. 1625 01:30:17.640 --> 01:30:21.520 I mean that makes sense, that's a news story, right. 1626 01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:24.760 Yeah, In most part, I think the police do a 1627 01:30:24.840 --> 01:30:25.880 really really good job. 1628 01:30:26.319 --> 01:30:29.640 Hey, you know, on that same side, note, if someone 1629 01:30:29.720 --> 01:30:32.319 gets pulled over, like over a Memorial Day, you probably 1630 01:30:32.359 --> 01:30:34.680 had some people with DUIs and stuff. I've asked you 1631 01:30:34.800 --> 01:30:37.840 this a lot. If you're coming back from somewhere and 1632 01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:41.640 basically they ask you, hey, have you had anything to drink? 1633 01:30:42.279 --> 01:30:44.600 What's the best answer to give If you get pulled 1634 01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:46.680 over for whatever and they say, hey, have you had 1635 01:30:46.760 --> 01:30:47.560 anything to drink? 1636 01:30:49.159 --> 01:30:51.399 You know, I think once you admit to drinking, you 1637 01:30:51.560 --> 01:30:55.079 open that door to the dui investigation. So if you're 1638 01:30:55.560 --> 01:30:58.479 impaired or you're over the legal limit, my answer would 1639 01:30:58.479 --> 01:31:00.840 probably be no, not saying anything. 1640 01:31:00.760 --> 01:31:01.640 Yeah, just say none. 1641 01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:02.359 Just say no. 1642 01:31:02.680 --> 01:31:05.079 Yeah, yeah, And you know, I think one of the 1643 01:31:05.119 --> 01:31:08.800 biggest changes we're seeing with regards to DUIs is before 1644 01:31:08.840 --> 01:31:11.479 you used to be able to refuse. Now a lot 1645 01:31:11.560 --> 01:31:15.640 of these jurisdictions, with the recent Supreme Court case, once 1646 01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:17.920 you're refused, they just turn around, get a warrant, and 1647 01:31:17.960 --> 01:31:19.640 they're drawing your blood anyway, so. 1648 01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:22.520 It doesn't matter. So even if you refuse, they basically 1649 01:31:22.600 --> 01:31:24.640 bring you to the hospital or wherever and get them 1650 01:31:24.680 --> 01:31:25.439 to take your blood. 1651 01:31:26.319 --> 01:31:28.800 Yeah, say that more and more often. 1652 01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:32.359 That's pretty wild. Actually, I don't even know how I 1653 01:31:32.479 --> 01:31:35.399 think about that. I mean, but if you do deny 1654 01:31:35.520 --> 01:31:39.119 the breathalyzer, let me ask you this. If you deny 1655 01:31:39.479 --> 01:31:43.239 the breath or blood test from the officer, and I 1656 01:31:43.319 --> 01:31:45.439 don't mean the roadside I mean the one back at 1657 01:31:45.479 --> 01:31:48.800 the station, the legit one. If you will, don't you 1658 01:31:48.960 --> 01:31:53.800 lose your license for a year through DMV, which has 1659 01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:57.279 nothing to do with the DUI. Is that part correct, right? 1660 01:31:57.399 --> 01:31:59.760 So, if you refuse a chemical test blood of breath, 1661 01:32:00.399 --> 01:32:03.560 you're looking at a refusals refusal is at least a 1662 01:32:03.640 --> 01:32:07.239 one year revocation. You should be eligible to reinstate after 1663 01:32:07.359 --> 01:32:10.439 two months no driving, but you're carrying that interlock for 1664 01:32:10.520 --> 01:32:12.840 two years, and then what we're seeing is the police 1665 01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:16.039 officers are marking you down as a refusal, hitting the warrant, 1666 01:32:16.199 --> 01:32:19.159 drawing your blood anyway, and using that in the criminal case. 1667 01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:20.880 Well that's what I was going to ask you. So 1668 01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:25.199 if they get the warrant, get your blood, and bam, 1669 01:32:25.399 --> 01:32:29.479 now they know you're DUI based upon the toxicology coming back, 1670 01:32:30.279 --> 01:32:34.239 can they still say, can you still lose your license 1671 01:32:34.760 --> 01:32:38.039 for that year through the DMV hearing? Because even though 1672 01:32:38.079 --> 01:32:40.960 you real you said you refused, even though they ended 1673 01:32:41.039 --> 01:32:42.159 up doing it anyhow. 1674 01:32:43.399 --> 01:32:45.720 Yeah, so you're that's crazy harshment. 1675 01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:50.319 So to refuse, right, So, to refuse in most municipalities, 1676 01:32:50.439 --> 01:32:53.560 or most counties, or the state of Colorado for that matter, 1677 01:32:54.279 --> 01:32:57.800 speaking in general terms, is stupid. I mean, like really stupid, 1678 01:32:58.119 --> 01:33:01.399 because you're going to be in worse trouble even if 1679 01:33:01.439 --> 01:33:02.239 you are DUI. 1680 01:33:02.960 --> 01:33:04.199 Hey, Joe, I have a quick question. 1681 01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:07.399 Yeah, do people use that as a stalling technique to 1682 01:33:07.520 --> 01:33:10.319 hope that by the time that they get the warrant, 1683 01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:14.560 they're alcohols and metabolize good question below the limit. 1684 01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:16.000 They do? 1685 01:33:16.479 --> 01:33:20.079 They do, And that's one advantage of that. If you're 1686 01:33:20.159 --> 01:33:23.640 highly intoxicated. Your BAC is going to go down because 1687 01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:26.439 it could take anywhere from you know, thirty minutes to 1688 01:33:26.520 --> 01:33:28.159 get that warrant to several hours. 1689 01:33:28.600 --> 01:33:30.920 Well, how long let's say, how long on average do 1690 01:33:30.960 --> 01:33:34.199 you think if someone does refuse from the get go, 1691 01:33:34.760 --> 01:33:37.199 how long if they had to go through the warrant 1692 01:33:37.199 --> 01:33:39.680 and everything would be an average time, would it be 1693 01:33:39.840 --> 01:33:40.560 like two hours? 1694 01:33:40.640 --> 01:33:44.560 Joe, it's at least probably an hour hour and a half. 1695 01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:48.399 Okay, So with that point, how for the typical person 1696 01:33:48.520 --> 01:33:52.840 whatever that means, how much does that drop down in 1697 01:33:52.960 --> 01:33:55.319 an hour and a half? In other words, if their point, 1698 01:33:55.399 --> 01:33:58.760 what's the legal limit? Point eight point zero eight zero 1699 01:33:58.880 --> 01:34:04.560 zero eight? So how much let's say it there at 1700 01:34:04.600 --> 01:34:07.039 a what would that be like a one point two 1701 01:34:07.199 --> 01:34:10.079 or whatever? In an hour and a half would that 1702 01:34:10.319 --> 01:34:12.640 drop down below the legal limit? Most likely? 1703 01:34:13.760 --> 01:34:15.840 No, I mean what you're really looking at. 1704 01:34:15.880 --> 01:34:21.600 I mean you're losing about point zero one five percent 1705 01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:24.279 of alcohol for every hour, maybe a little bit more 1706 01:34:24.399 --> 01:34:25.319 point zero two. 1707 01:34:25.520 --> 01:34:28.279 Oh, you'd have to be you'd have to be borderline 1708 01:34:28.359 --> 01:34:30.239 for that to even take effect. That would be a 1709 01:34:30.279 --> 01:34:32.760 horrible way of thinking. Then I'm going to go ahead 1710 01:34:32.800 --> 01:34:37.119 and refuse a breathalyzer based upon this thing dropping by 1711 01:34:37.159 --> 01:34:40.199 a half a point, which means you're probably lit as hell, right. 1712 01:34:41.720 --> 01:34:45.560 Yeah, I mean does it sometimes help Absolutely, For the 1713 01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:47.840 most part, doesn't make much of the difference. 1714 01:34:47.960 --> 01:34:51.680 And it never hurts. Well, yeah does here because you're refusing, 1715 01:34:51.800 --> 01:34:55.119 and then you lose your license period of end of story, 1716 01:34:55.239 --> 01:34:59.119 for a year, and you're still facing the DUI criminal charges. 1717 01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:00.720 That's that's why it hurts. 1718 01:35:00.920 --> 01:35:05.720 Okay, So I thought somebody who refused lost his license 1719 01:35:05.800 --> 01:35:09.119 on the refusal has to care that interlock longer. Ultimately 1720 01:35:09.239 --> 01:35:11.920 they got the warrant, drew his blood. It was below 1721 01:35:12.039 --> 01:35:14.880 the point zero way, So had he taken the test, 1722 01:35:15.359 --> 01:35:18.039 he would never have had that DMB issue or loss 1723 01:35:18.079 --> 01:35:18.600 of license. 1724 01:35:18.680 --> 01:35:21.760 So he literally was he wasn't even DUI and still 1725 01:35:21.800 --> 01:35:24.359 lost his license for a year and he couldn't even 1726 01:35:24.439 --> 01:35:25.239 use an interlock. 1727 01:35:25.359 --> 01:35:25.479 Right. 1728 01:35:25.600 --> 01:35:27.840 That's like a hard that's a hard lose. 1729 01:35:29.199 --> 01:35:29.399 Yeah. 1730 01:35:29.520 --> 01:35:31.960 So, had he just taken the test, he would never 1731 01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:35.640 have had the interlock. Because it refused, he's required to 1732 01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:36.359 hear that interlock. 1733 01:35:36.640 --> 01:35:39.640 That's crazy. Hey, Joe Lazara, you guys, I know, and 1734 01:35:39.760 --> 01:35:41.760 when I do your spots, I always say this, man, 1735 01:35:41.800 --> 01:35:44.760 you're incredible. You have helped out so many listeners. People. 1736 01:35:44.760 --> 01:35:46.640 I'm going to give the number out, put it in 1737 01:35:46.760 --> 01:35:49.319 your phone, but it doesn't matter. And I'm not kidding 1738 01:35:49.359 --> 01:35:55.159 around domestic violence, child abuse, DUI's murder, anything. If you're 1739 01:35:55.239 --> 01:35:58.239 accused of a crime, you need this guy and Joe. 1740 01:35:58.880 --> 01:36:01.600 People think I'm crazy. I've always gotten email saying, hey, 1741 01:36:01.680 --> 01:36:04.439 you say Joe knows all the das and judges. Tell 1742 01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:06.920 me that's not true. Man, I know you know them. 1743 01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:10.359 But my point is if the judge doesn't respect you, 1744 01:36:10.680 --> 01:36:14.319 if the DA doesn't respect you in that courtroom, your 1745 01:36:14.520 --> 01:36:18.399 chance is as in an attorney cutting a deal. It's 1746 01:36:18.560 --> 01:36:22.039 just a lot harder, is I mean? Relationships count? Correct? 1747 01:36:23.039 --> 01:36:23.239 They do. 1748 01:36:23.399 --> 01:36:27.039 Relationships count in everyday life, and it's no different in 1749 01:36:27.079 --> 01:36:28.199 the judicial world. 1750 01:36:28.199 --> 01:36:32.720 No different at all, which is crazy man. People go, well, 1751 01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:34.800 it's not fair the laws of law. No, it's just 1752 01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:37.680 like anything else. If Joe knows the das and Joe 1753 01:36:37.800 --> 01:36:41.199 knows everybody in that department, for example, Douglas County or 1754 01:36:41.279 --> 01:36:44.359 wherever you are, Denver County, think about that. You want 1755 01:36:44.479 --> 01:36:48.359 someone that has a relationship or repport with the people 1756 01:36:48.560 --> 01:36:50.840 charging you if you're guilty.

But 1797 01:38:57.880 --> 01:39:00.039 I remember one time when I was pretty young, I 1798 01:39:00.159 --> 01:39:03.439 was in middle school, and I called up doctor Laura 1799 01:39:04.319 --> 01:39:06.760 and I told her that I got my girlfriend pregnant 1800 01:39:07.199 --> 01:39:10.520 and didn't know how to tell my parents complete fabrication. 1801 01:39:10.960 --> 01:39:13.000 But I always wanted to be on the air after 1802 01:39:13.159 --> 01:39:16.159 listening to a talk show. But the part of the 1803 01:39:16.279 --> 01:39:20.439 story that's absolutely insane is my uncle who lived in 1804 01:39:20.560 --> 01:39:23.359 New York. We lived in Oklahoma at the time. My 1805 01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:26.960 uncle that lived in New York heard the call because 1806 01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:31.479 he loved listening to Doctor Laura, recognized my voice and 1807 01:39:31.680 --> 01:39:38.319 called my parents, tell me that's not the damnest. Fantastic, Yeah, fantastic. 1808 01:39:38.439 --> 01:39:40.720 It's like, you know, I wasn't in any trouble. I mean, 1809 01:39:40.760 --> 01:39:42.439 what are they going to say. I mean, it was like, no, 1810 01:39:42.840 --> 01:39:45.119 I just had to convince him no one was pregnant, 1811 01:39:45.439 --> 01:39:47.359 which wasn't hard to do because I didn't even have 1812 01:39:47.439 --> 01:39:50.159 a girlfriend. So I mean, that wasn't that hard. But 1813 01:39:51.119 --> 01:39:54.399 I don't know. Okay, so let's go to Mark, Mark, 1814 01:39:54.479 --> 01:39:56.359 what is going on with you?

It's not like we're 1838 01:41:09.840 --> 01:41:12.000 getting the money and doing anything with it. 1839 01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:15.600 She lives as a basement, so you're wondering what happened 1840 01:41:15.600 --> 01:41:15.800 to it? 1841 01:41:17.600 --> 01:41:19.960 Yeah, it's her spending money. So she has some money 1842 01:41:20.000 --> 01:41:21.720 to go whatever. 1843 01:41:21.680 --> 01:41:22.600 You call on. 1844 01:41:23.159 --> 01:41:26.039 But now she's only getting five hundred Ye sorry, now 1845 01:41:26.079 --> 01:41:28.560 she's only getting five hundred dollars a month or like? 1846 01:41:28.680 --> 01:41:31.680 What's going on? So they say they call up, spend 1847 01:41:31.840 --> 01:41:35.520 three hours, get through to Social Security? Oh yeah, that's wrong. 1848 01:41:35.600 --> 01:41:37.760 You should be getting this and we can backdate that 1849 01:41:37.920 --> 01:41:39.399 and you'll get all this money. 1850 01:41:39.520 --> 01:41:39.720 Good. 1851 01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:43.039 Okay, well that's been a year now. They've been doing that, 1852 01:41:43.159 --> 01:41:45.600 and she says every time they go, that's what they say, 1853 01:41:46.239 --> 01:41:48.840 but then it never happens. They call back, spend three 1854 01:41:48.880 --> 01:41:53.199 hours waiting talk to somebody. She said, no, we have 1855 01:41:53.359 --> 01:41:55.840 the notes, we have the names of persons we talked to. 1856 01:41:56.000 --> 01:41:59.319 What dates all of that? She says, And it's like, so, 1857 01:42:00.239 --> 01:42:02.600 is there an advocate somebody we can go that we 1858 01:42:02.720 --> 01:42:05.319 can call? It doesn't take three hours to talk to it. 1859 01:42:05.479 --> 01:42:09.199 I would make I would make an appointment at a 1860 01:42:09.399 --> 01:42:12.640 local office somewhere in Denver. There is one, for sure, 1861 01:42:13.399 --> 01:42:15.800 depending on what area you're in. You can search on 1862 01:42:15.920 --> 01:42:19.239 the Social Security website, but I would go down in person. 1863 01:42:19.680 --> 01:42:21.840 They're going to have the ability to pull up all 1864 01:42:21.880 --> 01:42:24.520 the notes and everything going on with this. I do 1865 01:42:24.680 --> 01:42:28.239 have a question, though, when did her spouse pass away? 1866 01:42:28.279 --> 01:42:33.039 If she even had a spouse, Oh, god, decades okay, 1867 01:42:33.159 --> 01:42:35.439 decades ago, So it's not going to be like she 1868 01:42:35.720 --> 01:42:39.119 converted to spousal benefits. What I'm trying to figure out 1869 01:42:39.199 --> 01:42:42.119 is what kind of mistake could have been made? And 1870 01:42:42.279 --> 01:42:44.239 what are they telling you? Guys? Are they giving you 1871 01:42:44.439 --> 01:42:48.239 any information? I acknowledge, they acknowledge that it's wrong, and 1872 01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:50.560 I get they can't fix it, But are they telling 1873 01:42:50.640 --> 01:42:53.479 you what happened? Why it did cut in half? Did 1874 01:42:53.560 --> 01:42:56.680 she apparently or did they think at one point she 1875 01:42:56.880 --> 01:42:59.920 owed money or she was getting too much money or what? 1876 01:43:02.279 --> 01:43:04.840 No, No, it wasn't anything like that. I don't know 1877 01:43:05.039 --> 01:43:08.840 what the sister in law did. H that's a that's 1878 01:43:08.920 --> 01:43:11.840 a family thing, and I'm gonna stay out of that argument. 1879 01:43:12.840 --> 01:43:18.199 But but Mark, the sister in law. You're sure the 1880 01:43:18.319 --> 01:43:21.279 sister in law isn't getting any money out of this 1881 01:43:21.520 --> 01:43:26.640 check as a caregiver. You're you're sure of that? Yes, Okay, 1882 01:43:27.119 --> 01:43:30.079 it's so odd. I can't think for a million years 1883 01:43:30.159 --> 01:43:32.960 why it would happen. But my god, the government is 1884 01:43:33.039 --> 01:43:35.399 so huge. Why do you even think the sister in 1885 01:43:35.520 --> 01:43:36.880 law then would have anything to. 1886 01:43:36.920 --> 01:43:41.600 Do with it? She said, so, she she had somebody 1887 01:43:41.640 --> 01:43:44.800 who said, you worked for the Social Security and she's 1888 01:43:44.880 --> 01:43:47.880 an advocate or something, and they were trying to do it. 1889 01:43:47.960 --> 01:43:50.600 It got screwed up and as they dropped her feet, 1890 01:43:50.640 --> 01:43:52.199 it's like great, marvelous. 1891 01:43:52.319 --> 01:43:54.960 Yeah, you got to listen just get down No, you, 1892 01:43:55.600 --> 01:43:59.439 you and her need to go down not not just her, 1893 01:44:00.319 --> 01:44:02.840 just you. You and her need to make an appointment. 1894 01:44:02.920 --> 01:44:05.000 You got to carve the time out of your day 1895 01:44:05.520 --> 01:44:08.479 and get down there with her to the office and 1896 01:44:08.840 --> 01:44:12.920 understand what's going on, because something is a miss. I 1897 01:44:13.079 --> 01:44:15.520 still would like to know where that money's going. Maybe 1898 01:44:15.560 --> 01:44:18.039 you can figure it out. To me, I keep going 1899 01:44:18.159 --> 01:44:21.319 back to caregiver, meaning it might not be your sister 1900 01:44:21.399 --> 01:44:25.239 in law, but maybe whatever she did diverted some of 1901 01:44:25.319 --> 01:44:28.640 her check somewhere else. I mean, something happened, and you've 1902 01:44:28.680 --> 01:44:30.479 got to get down there and get it figured out. 1903 01:44:30.560 --> 01:44:33.199 And when you do it in person, it tends to 1904 01:44:33.319 --> 01:44:34.479 work a lot quicker. 1905 01:44:36.560 --> 01:44:39.439 Yeah, yeah, that's what I had said. That was the 1906 01:44:39.840 --> 01:44:43.119 end of the air quote discussion. 1907 01:44:42.720 --> 01:44:43.720 We had last night. 1908 01:44:44.159 --> 01:44:47.359 Well, then make the bloody appointment and let's go down there. 1909 01:44:47.439 --> 01:44:49.640 She said it's going to take a one to two months, 1910 01:44:49.680 --> 01:44:52.760 and said, well it'll it'll take forever if you never 1911 01:44:52.840 --> 01:44:56.319 set up from one month from now. Anyway, I digress 1912 01:44:56.359 --> 01:44:56.600 from that. 1913 01:44:57.520 --> 01:44:59.520 That's what you got to do. And when you're down there, 1914 01:44:59.560 --> 01:45:02.199 you can ask about a true advocate if you need one. 1915 01:45:02.279 --> 01:45:05.239 I have a feeling you don't need one, just based 1916 01:45:05.279 --> 01:45:07.079 on what you told me. They just got to correct 1917 01:45:07.119 --> 01:45:09.800 something in the system. But get down there with her 1918 01:45:09.840 --> 01:45:12.960 and do it in person. It's really not that hard 1919 01:45:13.039 --> 01:45:15.239 to find an appointment if you're willing to drive a 1920 01:45:15.279 --> 01:45:19.960 little bit. Denver's probably extremely busy, yeah, compared to Colorado 1921 01:45:20.039 --> 01:45:23.239 Springs or somewhere else. So just get that figured out. Now. Listen, 1922 01:45:23.319 --> 01:45:27.520 we've got a lot more going. We got another hour up, Lark, 1923 01:45:27.600 --> 01:45:31.319 I promise you're up next.

And Lark has a question, 1966 01:47:56.760 --> 01:48:00.680 what an interesting name, Lark? Is that your god give 1967 01:48:00.720 --> 01:48:01.159 a name? 1968 01:48:03.039 --> 01:48:05.439 Actually, my name is a Larkias. 1969 01:48:06.760 --> 01:48:10.920 LARKI uh, wow, where did that come from? I'm just 1970 01:48:11.279 --> 01:48:13.319 I have never heard that name Larkia? 1971 01:48:14.239 --> 01:48:17.159 And well it was a very close friend of my 1972 01:48:17.279 --> 01:48:20.199 mom's that she liked really well. And wow, she liked 1973 01:48:20.199 --> 01:48:21.880 your name, so she gave it to me. 1974 01:48:22.199 --> 01:48:25.720 Well that's interesting. You know, I'm Mark with a C. 1975 01:48:26.399 --> 01:48:29.720 So I always end up telling people that I would 1976 01:48:29.800 --> 01:48:32.479 assume you end up spelling your name a lot like 1977 01:48:32.640 --> 01:48:32.880 I do. 1978 01:48:33.800 --> 01:48:36.479 Oh, yes, yes, yes, you know what, Michael, you just. 1979 01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:38.960 Made me think of something. I'll go right to your question, Lark. 1980 01:48:39.039 --> 01:48:43.960 But my grandmother when my wife was pregnant, my grandmother 1981 01:48:44.079 --> 01:48:46.399 was still alive, which was great. She sat us down 1982 01:48:46.439 --> 01:48:49.239 and said the one thing I hope you don't do, 1983 01:48:49.399 --> 01:48:51.800 and I'll be very upset if you do do is 1984 01:48:51.920 --> 01:48:55.960 give that granddaughter my name. And she was so serious. 1985 01:48:56.479 --> 01:49:01.880 Her name was Hortense. Now, how many Hortenses have you met? 1986 01:49:02.079 --> 01:49:05.760 It reminds me of like Gertrude, and she was dead serious. 1987 01:49:05.800 --> 01:49:08.840 So our daughter is not wretense lark. What's your question? 1988 01:49:10.119 --> 01:49:12.199 Well, the storm that. 1989 01:49:12.319 --> 01:49:16.039 Team threw down just a little south and west of 1990 01:49:16.159 --> 01:49:19.840 Talcaraka on Sunday, Yeah, I'm pretty good at hail was crazy. 1991 01:49:20.600 --> 01:49:23.560 And then starting that was like get six something in 1992 01:49:23.640 --> 01:49:26.640 the evening, and then starting the next day, the doors 1993 01:49:26.680 --> 01:49:29.600 were just getting you know, being done by everybody. And 1994 01:49:30.239 --> 01:49:33.159 I went out with a guy. He actually noticed we 1995 01:49:33.239 --> 01:49:36.319 have a barn just a little ways from our house 1996 01:49:36.479 --> 01:49:39.439 and the skylights were both broken and we noticed that 1997 01:49:40.760 --> 01:49:43.520 and so we ended up walking around looking at everything. 1998 01:49:44.439 --> 01:49:46.520 He went and got some turbs because it was going 1999 01:49:46.600 --> 01:49:47.399 to rain Monday. 2000 01:49:47.560 --> 01:49:49.239 Now this is a roof for I assume. 2001 01:49:50.159 --> 01:49:54.960 Well, so then the company is Anderson's Construction and they're 2002 01:49:55.319 --> 01:49:56.319 located in Denver. 2003 01:49:57.720 --> 01:49:59.720 That was the first thing I said was are you local? 2004 01:50:00.079 --> 01:50:02.199 Because I was, you know, not wanting to deal with 2005 01:50:02.279 --> 01:50:07.439 someone who wasn't and so consequently he went and got 2006 01:50:07.479 --> 01:50:09.800 turbs and went up on the burn roofs and nailed 2007 01:50:09.800 --> 01:50:13.800 those down before the rain. Now we didn't sign anything good, 2008 01:50:13.960 --> 01:50:17.960 but you know, I guess you know after the fact. 2009 01:50:18.079 --> 01:50:20.359 And I've talked to him on the phone again. He's 2010 01:50:20.439 --> 01:50:26.000 the project manager, he says, and he seems like a 2011 01:50:26.079 --> 01:50:29.800 good guy. He also lives just a little bit east 2012 01:50:29.840 --> 01:50:33.319 of Castle Rock and has offered like, if the Turks 2013 01:50:33.399 --> 01:50:35.720 came lose, I'll come over. He seems like a great guy, 2014 01:50:35.800 --> 01:50:38.119 but I just don't know. When I went to the 2015 01:50:38.159 --> 01:50:41.119 website at Salty and see it looks very nice. Yeah, 2016 01:50:42.439 --> 01:50:44.520 but I'm like, oh my gosh, I wonder if you 2017 01:50:44.640 --> 01:50:46.680 guys have ever had complaints about that. 2018 01:50:47.000 --> 01:50:50.760 Well, no, not that I can recall, meaning I'm not sure, 2019 01:50:50.880 --> 01:50:54.399 but I don't think so. I wouldn't use him, though, 2020 01:50:54.520 --> 01:50:56.880 And I'll tell you why. I don't like people that 2021 01:50:57.039 --> 01:50:59.640 come to my house and try to sell me a 2022 01:50:59.720 --> 01:51:02.880 roof after a hailstorm. I simply don't trust them. I 2023 01:51:03.039 --> 01:51:06.039 really don't. Now, I'll give you one example where I 2024 01:51:06.159 --> 01:51:08.720 might if my neighbor hired them and they were literally 2025 01:51:08.880 --> 01:51:13.239 doing the roof and basically stopped by and said, hey, 2026 01:51:13.359 --> 01:51:15.880 you know, we're doing your next door neighbor's roof. And 2027 01:51:15.960 --> 01:51:18.119 then I would of course talk to my neighbor figure 2028 01:51:18.159 --> 01:51:22.079 out how we got them. Maybe, but pretty much I'm 2029 01:51:22.119 --> 01:51:25.000 sold on one company in Colorado, or at least in 2030 01:51:25.119 --> 01:51:28.479 Denver Metro and that's Excel Roofing, And they also do 2031 01:51:28.600 --> 01:51:31.760 a lot of stuff in the springs. But I just 2032 01:51:32.319 --> 01:51:35.239 you don't pay a cent to your content. They're honest 2033 01:51:35.319 --> 01:51:38.199 as a day. As long their crews are very clean, 2034 01:51:38.319 --> 01:51:40.840 efficient and fast, you're not going to find a lot 2035 01:51:40.920 --> 01:51:43.720 of nails there. And then probably the most important part 2036 01:51:44.640 --> 01:51:47.159 is this, well, actually that don't pay a cent to 2037 01:51:47.239 --> 01:51:50.800 your contents pretty important. But if there's a problem later on, 2038 01:51:51.319 --> 01:51:53.720 these guys operate twenty four to seven. A lot of 2039 01:51:53.800 --> 01:51:56.880 these companies, you know, they'll come knocking on your door 2040 01:51:57.000 --> 01:51:59.720 after the hailstorm, but if you've got a problem a 2041 01:51:59.800 --> 01:52:02.520 year from now, you can't even find them, or they 2042 01:52:02.600 --> 01:52:05.760 don't have crews that are operating because they're chasing a 2043 01:52:05.840 --> 01:52:09.119 storm in Oklahoma or wherever they happen to be. But 2044 01:52:09.239 --> 01:52:12.079 if you if you didn't sign anything with them, and 2045 01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:15.079 one of the tactics these companies use is exactly what 2046 01:52:15.239 --> 01:52:18.000 you described and you probably didn't even realize it. They 2047 01:52:18.079 --> 01:52:20.800 come out and point out stuff and act like they're 2048 01:52:20.880 --> 01:52:23.119 your best friend and throw a tarp up and help 2049 01:52:23.199 --> 01:52:25.680 you and all that kind of stuff. And that's part 2050 01:52:25.720 --> 01:52:28.439 of the tactics they use. I'm telling you you, i'd 2051 01:52:28.520 --> 01:52:30.960 call Excel if you're in the Castle Rock area. I 2052 01:52:30.960 --> 01:52:32.399 wouldn't even think twice about it. 2053 01:52:33.319 --> 01:52:34.560 Well, and I know there. 2054 01:52:35.239 --> 01:52:37.359 I think they were not going to endorse too, actually, 2055 01:52:37.399 --> 01:52:41.199 because several of the neighbors had their signs like that 2056 01:52:41.479 --> 01:52:42.279 very next day. 2057 01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:42.880 Excel. 2058 01:52:43.840 --> 01:52:45.119 Yeah, so I don't know. 2059 01:52:45.560 --> 01:52:48.560 And you know, well Excel, let me give you an idea. 2060 01:52:49.039 --> 01:52:52.680 They're huge and most of their repeat business is crazy, 2061 01:52:53.159 --> 01:52:55.800 meaning well it's Colorado. There's people that get a new 2062 01:52:55.880 --> 01:52:59.159 roof every three or four years. And once people use Excel, 2063 01:52:59.239 --> 01:53:02.600 they almost imediately use them again. And I'm going to 2064 01:53:02.680 --> 01:53:05.239 tell you something else about Let me ask you about Anderson. 2065 01:53:05.760 --> 01:53:10.000 Here's a question for him. Here's what I do. Any company, 2066 01:53:10.520 --> 01:53:13.319 is there an out on your contract? If you don't 2067 01:53:13.359 --> 01:53:16.000 start work or deliver materials? Can I get out of 2068 01:53:16.039 --> 01:53:19.079 your contract? And if so, where is it? Where is it? 2069 01:53:19.720 --> 01:53:22.560 Where is it? Because let's say you sign it next thing, 2070 01:53:22.600 --> 01:53:24.920 you know, they can't start for two months, or you 2071 01:53:25.079 --> 01:53:28.319 sign it and something just doesn't seem right, or you 2072 01:53:28.479 --> 01:53:32.239 read a review, or something happens that's really bothering you. 2073 01:53:32.479 --> 01:53:35.119 Before they deliver, make sure they'll let you out of 2074 01:53:35.159 --> 01:53:37.920 the contract. Make sure that's in writing, because Excel, if 2075 01:53:37.960 --> 01:53:40.880 they don't start the job, or if they don't deliver materials, 2076 01:53:40.920 --> 01:53:42.800 they'll let you out of the contract. Simple as that. 2077 01:53:43.039 --> 01:53:46.760 Okay, okay, all right, So I should give them a. 2078 01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:47.479 Jingle, I guess. 2079 01:53:47.720 --> 01:53:49.720 Just go to Excel Roofing. I mean, they're one of 2080 01:53:49.760 --> 01:53:53.239 the largest roofers in Colorado for a reason. They're honestly 2081 01:53:53.399 --> 01:53:56.079 great people and I can't stress that enough. Lark. They 2082 01:53:56.119 --> 01:53:58.680 have done my roof, they have done Tom's roof, They 2083 01:53:58.680 --> 01:54:02.439 have done so many people's roofs in this building it's crazy. 2084 01:54:02.800 --> 01:54:06.920 And they're just always there. They use great material, they 2085 01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:10.640 have great contacts across the state when it comes to manufacturers. 2086 01:54:10.920 --> 01:54:13.840 In fact, I think they're the largest customer of some 2087 01:54:14.000 --> 01:54:16.880 of these shingle companies in the state. If there's ever 2088 01:54:16.960 --> 01:54:19.800 an issue with the product, they can get the warranties 2089 01:54:19.880 --> 01:54:22.960 handled because they do so much business with them. There's 2090 01:54:23.000 --> 01:54:25.439 so many reasons to use them. I can't even like 2091 01:54:25.600 --> 01:54:27.600 tell you all of them. But the real basic I 2092 01:54:27.680 --> 01:54:29.960 want you to remember, and this isn't just for you. 2093 01:54:30.840 --> 01:54:35.159 Never pay a roofer upfront. Never ever, ever pay a 2094 01:54:35.279 --> 01:54:38.640 roofer upfront. Is the number one thing you pay when 2095 01:54:38.640 --> 01:54:39.119 you're done. 2096 01:54:40.720 --> 01:54:42.000 Nothing before they're. 2097 01:54:41.840 --> 01:54:43.920 Done, Nothing before they're done. 2098 01:54:44.079 --> 01:54:48.079 They did say they took that actual cash value when 2099 01:54:48.119 --> 01:54:50.640 the insurance brings that in. They take that before. 2100 01:54:50.840 --> 01:54:53.920 Yeah, they take that before they probably even order materials. 2101 01:54:53.960 --> 01:54:55.760 How do you know that doesn't And I'm not saying 2102 01:54:55.800 --> 01:54:58.840 Anderson does this, That's not my point, but I know 2103 01:54:58.960 --> 01:55:01.399 a lot of roofers do do this. They take that 2104 01:55:01.600 --> 01:55:04.319 money to finish another job that they already spent that 2105 01:55:04.479 --> 01:55:07.319 money on, because they took that money to spend on 2106 01:55:07.399 --> 01:55:10.720 another job that they already spent that money on. Yeah, 2107 01:55:11.359 --> 01:55:14.079 you realized that salesperson that knocked on your door the 2108 01:55:14.159 --> 01:55:17.399 second you signed that contract. What happens is they get 2109 01:55:17.439 --> 01:55:21.960 paid the second that person signs that contract. If Anderson's 2110 01:55:22.039 --> 01:55:24.960 like a lot of these other companies, they get their commission, 2111 01:55:25.039 --> 01:55:27.279 their cut. I don't know if it's ten percent, I 2112 01:55:27.359 --> 01:55:29.760 don't know. Whatever it is is what it is. So 2113 01:55:30.039 --> 01:55:32.439 that's why most companies will never let you out of 2114 01:55:32.479 --> 01:55:35.560 the contract because they already paid that salesperson. 2115 01:55:36.279 --> 01:55:36.640 Okay. 2116 01:55:37.680 --> 01:55:39.640 And then the other question I had real quick too, 2117 01:55:39.880 --> 01:55:43.760 is so I'll see our insurance and the inspector is 2118 01:55:43.880 --> 01:55:44.960 coming Sunday. 2119 01:55:45.960 --> 01:55:48.039 Boy, I wish you. I wish you called Excel, but 2120 01:55:48.239 --> 01:55:50.319 you said you had a crack skylight. So I get it. 2121 01:55:50.600 --> 01:55:51.239 But go ahead. 2122 01:55:52.479 --> 01:55:54.319 So is that a problem though if there isn't a 2123 01:55:54.439 --> 01:55:58.600 representative to be here to do that, well, there's two. 2124 01:55:58.479 --> 01:56:00.439 Ways to look at it.

Genesis. As in the beginning, 2158 01:57:47.840 --> 01:57:51.159 and you can check them out at Genesis, tootalexteriors dot com. 2159 01:57:51.279 --> 01:57:52.800 Now what I did want to do is I want 2160 01:57:52.840 --> 01:57:55.479 to get right back and talk to Lark. Lark. You 2161 01:57:55.600 --> 01:57:59.039 can hire what's called a public adjuster, and basically here's 2162 01:57:59.079 --> 01:58:03.159 what a public adjust does. They represent you. The insurance 2163 01:58:03.239 --> 01:58:06.319 company has their own adjuster. A public adjuster like Matt 2164 01:58:06.479 --> 01:58:09.840 you hire. Typically, if you hire them from the get go, 2165 01:58:10.800 --> 01:58:14.680 they get paid ten percent. So if the claims one 2166 01:58:14.760 --> 01:58:18.600 hundred thousand, you would pay him ten thousand. But he 2167 01:58:18.840 --> 01:58:24.520 generally almost always ends up making his through your insurance company, 2168 01:58:24.640 --> 01:58:28.000 meaning don't you don't have anything out of pocket most 2169 01:58:28.079 --> 01:58:30.159 of the time, and he can look at your policy 2170 01:58:30.680 --> 01:58:33.840 and tell you that's it. There's something called overhead and profit, 2171 01:58:34.359 --> 01:58:37.720 and most of these policies meaning if you have damage 2172 01:58:37.800 --> 01:58:40.399 to more than one thing, So your roof would be one, 2173 01:58:40.800 --> 01:58:44.119 your skylights could be one, your sighting could be one, 2174 01:58:44.640 --> 01:58:49.079 your landscaping could be one, anything if you have multiple 2175 01:58:49.239 --> 01:58:54.319 different things. Most insurance policies say you can get ten 2176 01:58:54.439 --> 01:58:57.680 percent overhead and profit. So basically that's where his ten 2177 01:58:57.760 --> 01:59:01.399 percent comes from. You would never get that yourself. That 2178 01:59:01.479 --> 01:59:05.039 would always go to a general contractor. But Matt basically 2179 01:59:05.199 --> 01:59:07.560 kind of becomes that in a way, but he usually 2180 01:59:07.640 --> 01:59:09.399 gets paid out of that. So I don't want people 2181 01:59:09.479 --> 01:59:12.039 to think you end up paying more. But here's what 2182 01:59:12.159 --> 01:59:15.880 a public adjuster does. They're going to find all the damage. Matt, 2183 01:59:16.079 --> 01:59:20.399 for example, did team up with Genesis, and between Genesis, 2184 01:59:20.640 --> 01:59:23.199 the construction company that I just did a commercial for, 2185 01:59:23.840 --> 01:59:26.800 and Matt, they go out and they find everything. I mean, 2186 01:59:27.079 --> 01:59:29.439 they look at the roof, they look at the gutters, 2187 01:59:29.720 --> 01:59:32.319 they look at the outbuildings, they look at the siding, 2188 01:59:32.439 --> 01:59:35.039 they look at the deck, they look at the landscaping, 2189 01:59:35.159 --> 01:59:38.520 they look at the cement, they look at any possible thing. 2190 01:59:38.760 --> 01:59:42.399 And one of the big ones insurance companies hate, absolutely 2191 01:59:42.520 --> 01:59:45.720 hate his windows. Windows don't have to be broken. You 2192 01:59:45.880 --> 01:59:48.680 can break that little seam at the bottom to where 2193 01:59:48.760 --> 01:59:52.039 the air comes out in between the glass, in between 2194 01:59:52.079 --> 01:59:55.600 the panels. Those seals can be broke into the naked eye. 2195 01:59:55.640 --> 01:59:59.920 You'd never know it, but they in most policies are 2196 02:00:00.119 --> 02:00:03.199 covered at that point. And insurance companies hate that because 2197 02:00:03.439 --> 02:00:05.760 you could easily be looking at fifty to one hundred 2198 02:00:05.840 --> 02:00:10.560 grand for new windows in any given property. So you 2199 02:00:10.760 --> 02:00:14.279 really it is good to have someone out there for you, 2200 02:00:15.239 --> 02:00:18.159 there's no doubt about it, especially if it's more than 2201 02:00:18.319 --> 02:00:21.239 just roof damage. What I would do in your case, 2202 02:00:21.760 --> 02:00:25.319 I would probably call and hire Matt from the beginning, 2203 02:00:25.640 --> 02:00:29.479 or have Excel come out and meet. If you're just 2204 02:00:29.720 --> 02:00:32.159 worried about the roof right now, if that's the main 2205 02:00:32.279 --> 02:00:35.520 thing right now, have Excel come out. They will send 2206 02:00:35.640 --> 02:00:38.960 somebody out if they can, and they probably can at 2207 02:00:39.000 --> 02:00:44.479 this point to meet with your adjuster while the adjuster's there, 2208 02:00:44.560 --> 02:00:46.520 But you got to call them and see if they 2209 02:00:46.600 --> 02:00:48.479 can do that. Tell them you called into the show, 2210 02:00:48.520 --> 02:00:50.720 and I bet they can make that happen. Then they 2211 02:00:50.840 --> 02:00:53.319 can represent you on the roof side, but hold on, 2212 02:00:53.920 --> 02:00:56.760 they represent you on the roof side. Excel will end 2213 02:00:56.840 --> 02:00:59.520 up doing the roof and then you can have Matt 2214 02:00:59.600 --> 02:01:02.479 come out or Matt's people come out and they can 2215 02:01:02.560 --> 02:01:05.640 look at any other damage. Or you can call Matt 2216 02:01:05.640 --> 02:01:07.960 at the beginning and he'll bring his people and you 2217 02:01:08.079 --> 02:01:10.840 can do it numerous ways. But if they're only going 2218 02:01:10.920 --> 02:01:13.479 to say the only damage they sees the roof, you 2219 02:01:13.640 --> 02:01:15.920 better call your own adjuster because they're lying. 2220 02:01:17.000 --> 02:01:20.560 Okay, yeah, yeah no. When we worked around he said this, 2221 02:01:20.920 --> 02:01:23.640 definitely there's impact on the pain in the sighting. We 2222 02:01:23.720 --> 02:01:26.800 have a window that a plastic. 2223 02:01:26.439 --> 02:01:27.279 Part is broken. 2224 02:01:27.479 --> 02:01:29.680 That's why you want you want to call it. You 2225 02:01:29.840 --> 02:01:32.439 definitely want to call Matt. They know how to maximize 2226 02:01:32.479 --> 02:01:35.000 this stuff. In other words, here's what I'll tell you. 2227 02:01:35.399 --> 02:01:38.960 I would guess if your insurance guy came out and 2228 02:01:39.079 --> 02:01:42.840 no one else was there, someone that didn't understand everything 2229 02:01:42.920 --> 02:01:46.520 but the roof, I'll tell you I bet they'd off 2230 02:01:46.560 --> 02:01:49.600 for you thirty thousand or whatever. And then that's about 2231 02:01:49.640 --> 02:01:51.560 where it would be. Where if you have someone like 2232 02:01:51.680 --> 02:01:55.119 Matt and there's skylights and windows and stuff involved, I mean, 2233 02:01:55.399 --> 02:01:58.039 your claim could be well over one hundred thousand. There's 2234 02:01:58.119 --> 02:02:01.399 two different times my insurance come company basically said I 2235 02:02:01.439 --> 02:02:05.000 didn't have any damage in zero after a hailstorm, and 2236 02:02:05.199 --> 02:02:08.319 I hired Matt both times. One time I got seventy 2237 02:02:08.359 --> 02:02:11.840 eight thousand dollars and that was basically a new roof 2238 02:02:11.920 --> 02:02:14.880 on my barn, a new roof on the house. And 2239 02:02:15.560 --> 02:02:18.279 I also had the entire exterior of the house painted 2240 02:02:18.319 --> 02:02:21.960 by Genesis with that insurance claim. And remember they said 2241 02:02:22.000 --> 02:02:24.079 I had nothing, They said I had no damage. And 2242 02:02:24.199 --> 02:02:26.640 then last year I had the same thing, but it 2243 02:02:26.760 --> 02:02:29.960 was only thirty six thousand dollars. So I mean there 2244 02:02:30.000 --> 02:02:32.560 are liars. I don't care. There's adjusters listening to me 2245 02:02:32.720 --> 02:02:34.680 right now, going, well, I don't lie. Yeah, well, all 2246 02:02:34.720 --> 02:02:37.199 they do is adjust down. I've never seen someone that 2247 02:02:37.319 --> 02:02:39.680 works for an insurance company adjust up. 2248 02:02:40.039 --> 02:02:40.079 No. 2249 02:02:40.720 --> 02:02:43.600 No, yeah, so that's what I would do. 2250 02:02:44.000 --> 02:02:44.279 Number. 2251 02:02:45.479 --> 02:02:48.279 Yeah, Hold on a second, Kelly, would you pull up 2252 02:02:48.359 --> 02:02:51.000 Paragon's number and give that to her?

You guys 2259 02:03:06.319 --> 02:03:08.840 almost never end up in insurance claims. 2260 02:03:08.520 --> 02:03:08.720 Do you. 2261 02:03:09.039 --> 02:03:11.800 No, not, not too frequently. It's usually handled by the 2262 02:03:11.880 --> 02:03:12.520 time we're there. 2263 02:03:12.800 --> 02:03:16.079 What's your biggest Like, not your biggest, but what's your 2264 02:03:16.119 --> 02:03:19.119 average call? Is it a tub to shower conversion or 2265 02:03:19.159 --> 02:03:21.359 a full remodel. I know you do the whole gambit, 2266 02:03:21.439 --> 02:03:22.680 but what's the average call. 2267 02:03:23.039 --> 02:03:26.720 The average call is probably a full bathroom remodel, and 2268 02:03:26.840 --> 02:03:28.279 it's usually the hall bath. 2269 02:03:28.520 --> 02:03:31.039 The hall bath. Yeah, so well, now why is that 2270 02:03:31.439 --> 02:03:33.680 why I thought you would have said the master bathroom. 2271 02:03:33.720 --> 02:03:35.720 We do a lot of master bathrooms, but it's not 2272 02:03:35.760 --> 02:03:38.399 our average call. I wonder why that is. Yeah, so 2273 02:03:38.800 --> 02:03:42.800 I'll tell you why. Because everybody sees all your guests 2274 02:03:42.840 --> 02:03:43.880 see that hall bath. 2275 02:03:44.119 --> 02:03:46.720 Yeah, and it's usually used by more people than just 2276 02:03:47.039 --> 02:03:51.079 the Yeah it's the one you present. Yeah, so the 2277 02:03:51.239 --> 02:03:55.159 kids and family, everybody's using that same bath. So yeah, 2278 02:03:55.479 --> 02:03:58.800 people are often remodeling that bathroom completely. We do a 2279 02:03:58.880 --> 02:04:01.680 lot of shower own We do a lot of master bathrooms, 2280 02:04:01.720 --> 02:04:03.439 but we probably do the most as a halt. 2281 02:04:03.560 --> 02:04:06.119 You know, I was talking to someone the other day 2282 02:04:06.439 --> 02:04:10.319 in your industry and I asked this question. On TV. 2283 02:04:10.560 --> 02:04:14.079 You see these ads all the time for these companies 2284 02:04:14.159 --> 02:04:17.039 that come in and sometimes they can do it in 2285 02:04:17.159 --> 02:04:19.880 one day, maybe two days. But they rip out that 2286 02:04:20.039 --> 02:04:23.520 old tub and then they put in this big insert 2287 02:04:23.840 --> 02:04:26.920 like not different walls, they go together, but like one 2288 02:04:27.079 --> 02:04:30.760 big plastic piece and that plastic piece is now the 2289 02:04:30.880 --> 02:04:33.640 shower or a bath shower, but it's like one piece. 2290 02:04:34.000 --> 02:04:37.760 They come in, they demo, they prep and then put 2291 02:04:37.840 --> 02:04:39.159 this in and that's the shower. 2292 02:04:39.720 --> 02:04:42.439 Do you guys do those We don't do the one piece. 2293 02:04:42.520 --> 02:04:45.880 They're typically cheap and they don't necessarily fit. So the 2294 02:04:45.960 --> 02:04:48.000 stuff that we do, we tear down to the studs, 2295 02:04:48.279 --> 02:04:52.800 subfloor and everything goes in new backer board, acrylic walls. 2296 02:04:52.880 --> 02:04:54.800 Yeah you don't want leaks.

I 2318 02:05:54.039 --> 02:05:56.520 love my steam shower. Yeah, they're pretty good. They're cool. Man, 2319 02:05:56.600 --> 02:05:59.279 heated floors, that's a big deal. That's my favorite thing 2320 02:05:59.359 --> 02:06:01.199 that we've ever done on his heated floor. I love 2321 02:06:01.279 --> 02:06:04.119 heated floors. We got them in our bathroom. And I'll 2322 02:06:04.159 --> 02:06:07.159 tell you this too. We're looking at homes out in Louisiana, 2323 02:06:07.640 --> 02:06:11.399 stuff on the water, and I got to say something, Man, 2324 02:06:11.479 --> 02:06:14.239 when we look at a master bathroom that has that 2325 02:06:14.399 --> 02:06:17.600 steam shower, it has a big kind of California style closet, 2326 02:06:18.000 --> 02:06:21.319 and it has the fancy toilet, it really makes all 2327 02:06:21.359 --> 02:06:25.720 the difference. I mean, it's amazing what an upgraded bathroom 2328 02:06:26.359 --> 02:06:31.119 and an upgraded kitchen, but an upgraded master bathroom is crazy. 2329 02:06:31.279 --> 02:06:34.720 It can take away or you tend to forgive the 2330 02:06:34.800 --> 02:06:38.760 other stuff that hasn't been upgraded because that bathroom, especially 2331 02:06:38.800 --> 02:06:42.199 the master. Honestly, you spend more time in that master 2332 02:06:42.359 --> 02:06:44.239 bedroom and bathroom than any other room. 2333 02:06:44.399 --> 02:06:47.239 Yeah yeah, maybe the kitchen, but those are the two 2334 02:06:47.680 --> 02:06:49.880 best improvements you can do inside that area. 2335 02:06:50.000 --> 02:06:53.239 Yep. I mean really, the steam shower, it's like having 2336 02:06:53.279 --> 02:06:57.359 a spa. Man, it's just your holess yep, and that's 2337 02:06:57.439 --> 02:06:59.079 really cool. But you guys can do all that. When 2338 02:06:59.119 --> 02:07:00.920 you guys were out at my house, who was that 2339 02:07:01.079 --> 02:07:04.039 guy I met? I really liked Steven? Is he still there? Yeah? Yeah, 2340 02:07:04.079 --> 02:07:07.000 he's a business partner. Oh, excellent. Steven is the coolest. 2341 02:07:07.000 --> 02:07:09.119 So if you call these guys up, I don't know 2342 02:07:09.199 --> 02:07:11.239 if it's always Stephen that comes out, but you know what, 2343 02:07:11.359 --> 02:07:14.600 tell him you want Steven? Yeah, yeah, so he comes 2344 02:07:14.680 --> 02:07:18.039 out and he is so good with ideas. It's like, well, 2345 02:07:18.119 --> 02:07:21.880 look where that shower is there. If you wanted to 2346 02:07:21.960 --> 02:07:24.319 move it over here, where this big bathtub is, we 2347 02:07:24.399 --> 02:07:27.039 could put to shower there. You'd actually end up with 2348 02:07:27.159 --> 02:07:30.840 a bigger, more badass shower. And then where the shower 2349 02:07:31.119 --> 02:07:34.520 was could become a bigger closet because it back to 2350 02:07:34.600 --> 02:07:37.079 right to our closet, so you would double the size 2351 02:07:37.119 --> 02:07:39.800 of your closet. Then we could do like a California 2352 02:07:39.920 --> 02:07:42.840 style shelving and stuff. And then he just went over 2353 02:07:43.039 --> 02:07:46.199 every kind of option, and the very first thing was 2354 02:07:46.319 --> 02:07:47.319 exactly that, well. 2355 02:07:47.279 --> 02:07:50.520 Go with a sure thing.

Is because I would say the average isn't 2376 02:08:55.000 --> 02:08:57.680 going to be just the tub dish. 2377 02:08:57.880 --> 02:09:01.439 Yeah, I mean so at a company Ridge, we're just 2378 02:09:01.560 --> 02:09:05.319 over twenty thousand, so that's taken into account the ten 2379 02:09:05.359 --> 02:09:08.279 thousand dollars shower and the full master reduce, so we 2380 02:09:08.399 --> 02:09:10.279 end up somewhere just over twenty thousand. 2381 02:09:10.479 --> 02:09:13.159 And what's the biggest kind of thing people are interested 2382 02:09:13.239 --> 02:09:15.720 in now? Like we talked about steam showers, but like 2383 02:09:16.159 --> 02:09:19.000 the fancy toilets, Man, are those a big deal? 2384 02:09:19.079 --> 02:09:19.239 You know? 2385 02:09:19.319 --> 02:09:21.359 We get asked about them a lot, but it's really 2386 02:09:21.479 --> 02:09:25.680 tapered off since COVID the seat people love it. 2387 02:09:26.159 --> 02:09:27.760 We were talking off air a little while ago. 2388 02:09:27.840 --> 02:09:30.119 There is a twelve thousand dollars toilet out there. 2389 02:09:30.319 --> 02:09:34.159 It plays music and lights twelve thousand. It literally is 2390 02:09:34.319 --> 02:09:34.880 Coler makes. 2391 02:09:35.000 --> 02:09:37.880 We saw it at a show, but we've never put 2392 02:09:37.920 --> 02:09:38.159 one of. 2393 02:09:38.119 --> 02:09:40.319 Those in I mean, my goodness. So I mean like, 2394 02:09:40.760 --> 02:09:43.039 when I think of one, I'm trying to think of 2395 02:09:43.079 --> 02:09:46.439 the brand we have. But it was like the you know, 2396 02:09:46.600 --> 02:09:49.560 the seat in the toilet, it's Coler Yeah, and I 2397 02:09:49.720 --> 02:09:52.399 want to say it was like fifteen hundred bucks man 2398 02:09:52.520 --> 02:09:53.960 not for not installed. 2399 02:09:54.119 --> 02:09:56.800 Yeah, they're I mean, they're a great accessory to have 2400 02:09:56.880 --> 02:09:57.520 in your house, but. 2401 02:09:57.600 --> 02:10:00.920 It osculates it. You know, you hit different buttons, your program, 2402 02:10:01.079 --> 02:10:04.520 the wind that comes out, and then the heated toilet seats. 2403 02:10:04.560 --> 02:10:05.399 The main thing. Yep. 2404 02:10:05.680 --> 02:10:07.479 All you got to do is run electrical into the 2405 02:10:08.359 --> 02:10:09.319 water closet area. 2406 02:10:09.399 --> 02:10:11.520 And it's got some way of like getting rid of 2407 02:10:11.560 --> 02:10:13.439 a smell too. I don't even know how it does that. 2408 02:10:13.600 --> 02:10:15.640 Is there like a filter built in? Yeah, I don't know. 2409 02:10:16.039 --> 02:10:17.600 How about bedets? You guys do that? 2410 02:10:17.760 --> 02:10:20.239 Well, that's what that's okay? 2411 02:10:20.359 --> 02:10:22.880 Yeah, well, it's not like it's not a separate bidet. 2412 02:10:22.920 --> 02:10:25.640 It's part of your toilet. Do you ever do separate bedeta? 2413 02:10:25.720 --> 02:10:27.800 No more. I don't even think I've seen one in 2414 02:10:27.920 --> 02:10:31.680 a hotel for years. No, I haven't either. There generally, 2415 02:10:31.760 --> 02:10:34.239 if they if it's a really fancy hotel, it's more 2416 02:10:34.279 --> 02:10:36.600 of what we're talking about. I have not seen a 2417 02:10:36.760 --> 02:10:40.920 standalone the day. I can't even remember the last time. Yeah, 2418 02:10:41.000 --> 02:10:43.680 me either. They were big in Europe, I think before here. 2419 02:10:43.960 --> 02:10:46.439 Even overseas, I don't think they're around that much anymore. 2420 02:10:46.880 --> 02:10:49.800 Yeah, how about financing if someone wants to really lay 2421 02:10:49.840 --> 02:10:52.439 it out. Oh, and then the other question is we'll 2422 02:10:52.479 --> 02:10:55.199 talk about financing in a second. But let's say it's 2423 02:10:55.479 --> 02:10:58.880 let's say someone really wants something super and they want 2424 02:10:58.960 --> 02:11:02.600 to fancy toilet, they want the California closet. They want 2425 02:11:02.680 --> 02:11:06.279 that shower, steam shower, new tile, maybe heated floor. So 2426 02:11:06.319 --> 02:11:08.960 let's say word that fifty sixty thousand, I mean a 2427 02:11:09.079 --> 02:11:13.119 really nice master. I would argue that would increase the 2428 02:11:13.319 --> 02:11:16.760 value of that house, maybe not by one hundred percent, 2429 02:11:16.920 --> 02:11:19.279 meaning whatever you put in it, you'll get back. But 2430 02:11:19.479 --> 02:11:22.640 once again, if it's the kitchen and it's the bathroom, 2431 02:11:22.720 --> 02:11:25.760 the master, I would argue, and maybe you know the 2432 02:11:25.840 --> 02:11:29.159 actual numbers, eighty percent, and they think you're not close. 2433 02:11:29.239 --> 02:11:31.880 It's somewhere. It's a little south of that. It's probably 2434 02:11:32.039 --> 02:11:34.800 seventy five percent, but you're right over the target. And 2435 02:11:34.920 --> 02:11:37.720 then it does a second thing. It makes your house. 2436 02:11:37.640 --> 02:11:40.039 Desirable, right, Yeah, that's what I was saying. 2437 02:11:40.159 --> 02:11:43.399 Yeah, it's there's that emotional value to you and to 2438 02:11:43.560 --> 02:11:44.640 a new buyer, it's the sight. 2439 02:11:44.960 --> 02:11:47.239 So quickly, Yeah, when we look at when we look 2440 02:11:47.279 --> 02:11:49.479 at homes, there's two things. I just don't want. A 2441 02:11:49.560 --> 02:11:53.520 crappy master bathroom or actually three okay, one is a 2442 02:11:53.600 --> 02:11:57.920 crappy master bathroom or you know very dated yep, a 2443 02:11:58.079 --> 02:12:02.840 dated kitchen, I meaning the appliances, everything, dated countertops, whatever. 2444 02:12:03.159 --> 02:12:06.199 And then the third, which drives me crazy. You probably 2445 02:12:06.239 --> 02:12:10.279 love them, but Jack and Jill bathrooms. I hate Jack 2446 02:12:10.359 --> 02:12:13.479 and Jill bathrooms. I have no idea why people would 2447 02:12:13.479 --> 02:12:16.359 ever get one. I saw a beautiful house. We loved 2448 02:12:16.399 --> 02:12:20.319 everything about it. Everything was updated, it was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. 2449 02:12:20.520 --> 02:12:23.239 In fact, I'll tell you something crazy, it actually had 2450 02:12:23.319 --> 02:12:27.279 a gas fireplace in the bedroom and in the shower. 2451 02:12:27.600 --> 02:12:31.800 It was shared between the shower wall and the bedroom wall. 2452 02:12:32.000 --> 02:12:34.039 Nice and it was a you know, it was a 2453 02:12:34.119 --> 02:12:37.239 gas fireplace. Absolutely gorgeous. But they had a Jack and 2454 02:12:37.359 --> 02:12:40.800 Jill bathroom on the first floor. Oh really, Yeah, they 2455 02:12:40.840 --> 02:12:44.399 had the two kids rooms custom house. They built them 2456 02:12:44.520 --> 02:12:47.119 on the first floor with the master instead of upstairs 2457 02:12:47.239 --> 02:12:49.359 where they should have been in my opinion, right, and 2458 02:12:49.439 --> 02:12:52.840 they built this Jack and Jill bathroom, which meant when 2459 02:12:52.880 --> 02:12:54.840 you had guessed over, they're dealing with a Jack and 2460 02:12:54.920 --> 02:12:56.239 Jill bathroom, which is crazy. 2461 02:12:56.399 --> 02:12:58.840 Oh yeah, yeah, that would be weird on the first floor. 2462 02:12:58.800 --> 02:13:01.439 On the first floor. But do you remodel a lot 2463 02:13:01.479 --> 02:13:01.720 of those? 2464 02:13:01.840 --> 02:13:01.960 Now? 2465 02:13:02.199 --> 02:13:03.399 We do a lot of I mean a lot of 2466 02:13:03.439 --> 02:13:05.640 houses were built with them, right, yeah, because the kids 2467 02:13:05.680 --> 02:13:08.960 are upstairs and we keep them as Jack and Jill's 2468 02:13:09.039 --> 02:13:11.439 probably ninety percent of the time. Every now and then 2469 02:13:11.560 --> 02:13:13.439 somebody will ask us to wall the door off and 2470 02:13:13.880 --> 02:13:15.000 just make a single entrance. 2471 02:13:15.039 --> 02:13:16.680 So you guys can do that. Can you guys even 2472 02:13:16.720 --> 02:13:20.920 get into the construction part, like like I'm trying to 2473 02:13:21.039 --> 02:13:23.199 describe even what I'm saying. Well, I already know you do, 2474 02:13:23.319 --> 02:13:26.199 because you guys were talking about knocking down our shower 2475 02:13:26.279 --> 02:13:28.399 all together and turning it into a cause. Yeah, we 2476 02:13:28.399 --> 02:13:30.239 can totally do that. We can.

Depending on 2489 02:14:03.920 --> 02:14:06.800 the size of it, you could be running a thirty 2490 02:14:06.920 --> 02:14:10.880 or fifty amp circuit. Man, I mean, like some of 2491 02:14:10.960 --> 02:14:14.239 these bigger ones are unbelievable. They suck power like a 2492 02:14:14.319 --> 02:14:14.760 hot top. 2493 02:14:14.840 --> 02:14:16.399 Oh, I had one in my other house, and I'm 2494 02:14:16.479 --> 02:14:18.880 just thinking about I love it, whether I should do 2495 02:14:18.920 --> 02:14:19.880 it in my master bath. 2496 02:14:20.119 --> 02:14:22.640 Yeah, So the steam unit's got to sit somewhere, and 2497 02:14:22.720 --> 02:14:26.960 it sure can't sit in the shower itself. It's basically 2498 02:14:27.359 --> 02:14:30.840 connects and then goes through whatever the porcelain, and then 2499 02:14:31.039 --> 02:14:34.399 there's your little steamhead where it comes out. Count but 2500 02:14:34.960 --> 02:14:37.399 hold on and then wherever it is you got to run. 2501 02:14:37.920 --> 02:14:41.439 It's got to have its own connection to the electric box. 2502 02:14:41.520 --> 02:14:44.640 So you got electric drain and plumbing to it. Yeah, 2503 02:14:44.920 --> 02:14:46.680 and you got to sit somewhere where you can get 2504 02:14:46.680 --> 02:14:47.439 to it if you need to. 2505 02:14:48.039 --> 02:14:50.279 And you can't use no, it's crazy. People don't know this. 2506 02:14:50.439 --> 02:14:53.159 You can't use the same drain as you do for 2507 02:14:53.239 --> 02:14:56.359 the shower. So like mine literally has a drain going 2508 02:14:56.479 --> 02:15:00.000 from itself. It's a self flushing unit all the way 2509 02:15:00.039 --> 02:15:03.199 way down to my basement into the utility room where 2510 02:15:03.239 --> 02:15:05.399 it dumps the water when you turn it off. So 2511 02:15:05.520 --> 02:15:07.359 they had to run that. Then they had to run 2512 02:15:07.720 --> 02:15:10.199 fifty amp or a thirty amp up to the unit. 2513 02:15:10.840 --> 02:15:13.319 It's it's crazy. It's not as single. Same with the 2514 02:15:13.439 --> 02:15:16.600 fancy toilets. A lot of people don't have an outlet. 2515 02:15:16.760 --> 02:15:19.199 You got to direct power these things yep. Yeah. 2516 02:15:19.359 --> 02:15:21.359 In most cases though, we can do it. Yeah, I 2517 02:15:21.520 --> 02:15:22.279 know you guys can. 2518 02:15:22.319 --> 02:15:23.680 I mean that's what you do. Yeah. 2519 02:15:24.680 --> 02:15:27.600 My question is I'm single, but I have in my 2520 02:15:27.960 --> 02:15:31.640 water why well, you know why in my in my bath, 2521 02:15:32.039 --> 02:15:34.800 I have no two sinks to vanity. Could you put 2522 02:15:34.880 --> 02:15:37.119 the steam unit under the sink? 2523 02:15:37.279 --> 02:15:37.439 Yeah? 2524 02:15:37.479 --> 02:15:40.000 And sometimes yeah, because that side next to the shower 2525 02:15:40.159 --> 02:15:40.680 it depends. 2526 02:15:41.680 --> 02:15:44.039 Yeah.
