Speaker 5: Two five five.
Speaker 4: Well we started another day, another day of solving problems,
Speaker 4: answering questions and taking complaints. And I decided, I decided something.
Speaker 4: We handle so many important complaints, so many problems we
Speaker 4: solve eventually a.
Speaker 5: Lot of them. Afterwards. What am I hearing? Guys? What
Speaker 5: am I hearing? I'm hearing studio talk or something? Guys. Okay,
Speaker 5: thank you for turning that off.
Speaker 4: In any case, I handle a lot of problems here
Speaker 4: that you later see show up either the same people
Speaker 4: or different people on TV because a lot of TV
Speaker 4: reporters get their ideas from this show, which is a
Speaker 4: great idea. I love it, by the way, I love it,
Speaker 4: honest to god, I'm not kidding. It has nothing to
Speaker 4: do with me. It has to do with solving a problem.
Speaker 4: And I hope they pick up on a few of
Speaker 4: these problems we've been talking about. We have some major
Speaker 4: problems that have not been solved and are out there,
Speaker 4: and I want to review all of them.
Speaker 5: I want to.
Speaker 4: Actually make a master list of them, because God, they're
Speaker 4: just heartbreaking. One is, of course, that justin Garcia, and
Speaker 4: Justin Garcia stole sixty two thousand dollars from a woman.
Speaker 5: Can't get anyone.
Speaker 4: Now, I know we have some updates, so when you
Speaker 4: get a chance, I'll bring you update.
Speaker 5: Then the other one was this.
Speaker 4: Condo project, let's call it the eight point four million dollars.
Speaker 4: I am almost convinced that that woman who called in
Speaker 4: was not a nut. Well, let me amend that she
Speaker 4: might be a little off personally. I don't know, but
Speaker 4: there's something going on there. And we talk to other
Speaker 4: people and really there's something going on. There's something going on.
Speaker 4: Then we had another guy who took six thousand dollars
Speaker 4: for roofing. I think Deputy Bow worked on that. Is
Speaker 4: Bow in the studio today.
Speaker 6: I'm here, tom Bo, who was that.
Speaker 4: That took that six rand? You wrote to me and
Speaker 4: said we got to do something about this.
Speaker 5: Who was that?
Speaker 6: Gosh Sam of All?
Speaker 7: And on his contract he's using someone else's roofing company name,
Speaker 7: which is which is strange.
Speaker 4: Why why do our authorities let consumer crime go unpunished?
Speaker 5: Why is that?
Speaker 6: But this lady's pretty good, she's taking action. She's not.
Speaker 6: She's going to the county court. And I told her
Speaker 6: that if she.
Speaker 4: Gets well, she could go to small claims court as
Speaker 4: well to get a judgment on that.
Speaker 7: Well, Tom, the small claims court in Jefferson County's booked
Speaker 7: booked up till.
Speaker 5: March, So are you kidding me?
Speaker 6: That's why she had to escalate it.
Speaker 7: And I thought, in county court you need to have
Speaker 7: a lawyer, But she's she's.
Speaker 4: Going to need a lawyer. I mean, you can do it.
Speaker 4: But here's the problem we've actually seen.
Speaker 5: Is marking there with you? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mark, tell him what we've seen where people were actually.
Speaker 5: Lady lost her house man. It was horrible. I was
Speaker 5: issue and she was in the right, wasn't she market Oh,
Speaker 5: there was no doubt.
Speaker 8: I saw the house up closed, I saw the damage
Speaker 8: the roofer did. The lack of it was one of
Speaker 8: the worst roofing jobs I've ever seen. They didn't do
Speaker 8: the decking properly. It was so bad you can't even
Speaker 8: understand it. But they suit her to get paid, and
Speaker 8: she ended up in court and I was there the
Speaker 8: entire time in the courtroom, and they out maneuverter. The
Speaker 8: judge wouldn't allow her to use any of her expert
Speaker 8: witnesses because she didn't go through the proper steps to
Speaker 8: actually make them a expert witness. They it was absolutely
Speaker 8: a sham, and she ended up not only having to
Speaker 8: pay all the attorney's fees but paying and they foreclosed
Speaker 8: down her house and she lost everything.
Speaker 5: Mom, Mark, That's so sad, that is it. It was horrible.
Speaker 8: And by the way, as a side note, by the way,
Speaker 8: studio video up right now, go ahead. So as a
Speaker 8: side note, that was very interesting because at one point
Speaker 8: the judge actually he thought I was practicing a law.
Speaker 5: Oh well with the other party. The other party complained, well,
Speaker 5: here's how it went down. It was crazy.
Speaker 8: At lunch, we broke for recess, We go out for
Speaker 8: lunch and I call you and we're talking live on
Speaker 8: the air about it. The attorneys for the other side,
Speaker 8: the roofers, got wind that I was on air and
Speaker 8: recorded it. When we went back into the courtroom, the
Speaker 8: judge asked the jury. After the jury sat back down,
Speaker 8: he was talking to the other side, and all of
Speaker 8: a sudden he dismissed the jury and he's up there
Speaker 8: listening to something on a tape recorder on a phone,
Speaker 8: and oh my god, Yeah, he gave me a look
Speaker 8: like I have never seen in my life. I thought
Speaker 8: he was gonna throw me in the uh in jail
Speaker 8: right then and there.
Speaker 4: So tell me this, what other cases do we have now?
Speaker 4: As far as the ones I've mentioned the other ones.
Speaker 8: I'm curious on that condo one. I mean, where do
Speaker 8: you even go on that? It's crazy? We don't have
Speaker 8: to hire an attorney.
Speaker 5: Well, this this is criminal. I mean, okay, how do
Speaker 5: you how we're finding Hey, let's wait, let's read get
Speaker 5: the books, let's recap it. Let's recap it. D you
Speaker 5: looked into it? Right now.
Speaker 4: I don't want to give all of the details or
Speaker 4: names right now because we really need. I mean, this
Speaker 4: this is serious stuff. Let me start. What happened was
Speaker 4: the condo project had a It had a basically a.
Speaker 5: It had an insurance claim, an insurance claim mark eight
Speaker 5: point four million.
Speaker 4: They won from the insurance company in a lawsuit. They
Speaker 4: hired a hole in the wall company. When I say
Speaker 4: hole in the wall, talking about a tiny little company
Speaker 4: and put one of the board members in charge of
Speaker 4: the project.
Speaker 5: Take it away.
Speaker 9: D Yeah, that's those are the allegations. And I should
Speaker 9: open by saying that I have not seen those.
Speaker 4: Those are not allegations, those are facts. Those are facts.
Speaker 4: There was eight four point four million dollars one, that's
Speaker 4: a fact. Well, there was a construction hold on, there
Speaker 4: was a hole in the wall of construction company hired.
Speaker 5: That's a fact. That is and the guy was put in.
Speaker 4: Charge of the project. That's a fact. No one's disputing
Speaker 4: any of that. So now let's talk about allegations.
Speaker 5: We got facts.
Speaker 8: So I don't understand how it's a fact that we
Speaker 8: know they had eight point four million.
Speaker 4: Dollars because we verified it in it was a lawsuit one,
Speaker 4: it's public record.
Speaker 5: Go ahead.
Speaker 9: So yesterday I spoke with a board member of that association.
Speaker 9: He was recently elected to that position, and he ran
Speaker 9: on on this platform of shedding some light on what
Speaker 9: happened to their insurance settlement, how is this money spent?
Speaker 9: And he told me that he's having a very difficult
Speaker 9: time getting any documentation from the rest of the board.
Speaker 5: Dave.
Speaker 9: They, according to him, they refused to provide him with
Speaker 9: a contract with a payment history or even the.
Speaker 5: Insurance a settlement. Did he trace ach payments?
Speaker 9: He told me that he observed for he's not sure
Speaker 9: what what document he accidentally got a glimpse of, because
Speaker 9: they wouldn't give a case.
Speaker 5: He doesn't really have a record of it.
Speaker 9: No, he hasn't been able to email me anything, but
Speaker 9: he he alleges that there was over eight million dollars
Speaker 9: in payments acchd over to this tiny little roofing company
Speaker 9: on Callfax. And there's no invoice, there's no contract, there
Speaker 9: is no supporting documentation. So whatever happened there smells eight
Speaker 9: million dollars according to the board. Remember, the roof was done.
Speaker 9: He said that most of the gutter.
Speaker 5: The walls, in the siding, they were done.
Speaker 9: They were done very according to him and the caller,
Speaker 9: they were very poorly done. And apparently there's some photo
Speaker 9: evidence of that too, But that pales in importance when
Speaker 9: we also when we're actually wondering what happened to the
Speaker 9: eight plus million dollars.
Speaker 4: Now, we used to have private investigators Mark that worked
Speaker 4: for the show, and either they retired, I don't know
Speaker 4: whatever happened to our friendly ghost.
Speaker 5: I think he retired. There're more skip tracers, Yeah, but
Speaker 5: some of them were really Yeah, you're right, But don't
Speaker 5: we have that guy that don't You don't even.
Speaker 4: Have to mention his name that he said he wanted
Speaker 4: to look into stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he does occasionally. Suzanne's got a good report. And
Speaker 5: I'm talking about d found somebody too.
Speaker 9: Oh that was from the Larry H. Miller case. And
Speaker 9: that private investigator reached out to me over a weekend,
Speaker 9: offering to help.
Speaker 5: I'd love to talk to him out stuff like this.
Speaker 9: I would too. He didn't respond to my message.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, you don't think he's interested anymore.
Speaker 9: No, I think he lost me.
Speaker 4: I'm going to put the word out. I mean, we
Speaker 4: need a prime honest to god, we need a private
Speaker 4: investigator or two these cases. Now we're talking about an
Speaker 4: eight million dollar possibly and not all of it was embezzled.
Speaker 4: But what's interesting is the guy that worked with the
Speaker 4: construction company and I'll just say it was Blue Spruce.
Speaker 5: Wasn't the name of the construction company blue Spruce?
Speaker 9: Yeah, there was a trade name that's used by a
Speaker 9: company that's a I believe I traced it to a
Speaker 9: company that's called Global Roofing on callfax. Global Roofing has
Speaker 9: a golden address. It's a residence address.
Speaker 4: Hold on the money that this board member. I want
Speaker 4: to get the board member on. We really look can
Speaker 4: we get did he say come.
Speaker 9: On the airth he said he'll contact me today after
Speaker 9: he consults an attorney.
Speaker 5: The best thing in the world is to make things public.
Speaker 9: I'll call him right now.
Speaker 4: The best thing in the world for his safety. And
Speaker 4: then if he's fired, if he's let go, this is
Speaker 4: this stinks.
Speaker 5: We also need to.
Speaker 4: Get stand the ho a man on to figure out
Speaker 4: how we go forward. And I'm serious, we need to
Speaker 4: start taking some action.
Speaker 9: The biggest challenge.
Speaker 5: Now here's what I want to say.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's for the TV reporters listening. Just give us credit.
Speaker 4: Say you heard it on the show and they called
Speaker 4: into my show. And because I mean so many of
Speaker 4: these guys, there's so you know, they say, oh, you know,
Speaker 4: as a result of my long tirests investigation, blah blah blah. Guys,
Speaker 4: take the story and run with it. I want you to,
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, let's do it.
Speaker 5: I don't care.
Speaker 4: I want people to the yacht club. It's the yacht club.
Speaker 4: And where's that yacht club located? What municipality is it?
Speaker 9: It's up north and it's in my notes.
Speaker 5: So the yacht club one hundred and sixty one units
Speaker 5: Westminster it it?
Speaker 4: It was one. Okay, here there's what happened. They got
Speaker 4: a settlement for eight point four million dollars to do repairs.
Speaker 4: Apparently someone on the HOA board who doesn't he's not
Speaker 4: even there anymore.
Speaker 5: He moved away.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's he moved away, and according to the caller,
Speaker 9: he's now suing the HOA for what sounds to me
Speaker 9: like a slip and fall on the property.
Speaker 4: But in any case, they he worked very closely with
Speaker 4: the construction car.
Speaker 9: He made himself, according to the caller and to the
Speaker 9: board member, he made himself the sole representative of the
Speaker 9: HOWA to the roofing company.
Speaker 4: So they got a point and then they hired they
Speaker 4: hired Is it blue Spruce? Is that the one they
Speaker 4: actually hired?
Speaker 5: I think?
Speaker 9: So let me really check my notes. Okay, it's called
Speaker 9: Blue Spruce Roofing and Exteriors and blue.
Speaker 4: Spruce what do you mean by what did you find
Speaker 4: out about the company?
Speaker 9: That's a trade name, that's owned by Global Roofing, and
Speaker 9: I traced that address to a residential house of the
Speaker 9: man who filed the pits.
Speaker 5: The DBA.
Speaker 9: Filed by filed by Global Roofing, and.
Speaker 5: And Global Roofing is where well.
Speaker 9: I haven't been able to find an office for them,
Speaker 9: but the paperwork was filed by a gentleman who lives
Speaker 9: in Golden, Okay.
Speaker 4: And so far the roof, gutter, walls, and siding were done,
Speaker 4: but were completed, but it's poor quality supposedly.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's that's the second issue that they're that they
Speaker 9: want to.
Speaker 4: Well, it's got to be because the money. But yet
Speaker 4: the money was paid to them and and one one
Speaker 4: hoa member put himself in charge and he has since
Speaker 4: moved away into a giant, multimillion dollar home.
Speaker 5: Is that what we were.
Speaker 9: Telling I don't know anything about his home. The caller
Speaker 9: did allege that it's kind of a you know, really
Speaker 9: luxury call.
Speaker 4: That board member tell him he needs to get on there.
Speaker 4: Does he realize that if he doesn't out them, if
Speaker 4: he doesn't call police or investigators, we need to call
Speaker 4: people with the if it's in Westminster, either someone with
Speaker 4: the county or someone with the police.
Speaker 5: Department to look into this. This is serious stuff, people,
Speaker 5: This is serious stuff.
Speaker 9: The board member's biggest challenge right now is that his
Speaker 9: efforts to uncover any documentation have been stonewalled by the
Speaker 9: rest of the board.
Speaker 5: I know, because maybe all of.
Speaker 9: That you do. So what maybe all of.
Speaker 5: Them are all of them are in on it. I'm
Speaker 5: asking questions. People. See, this is called freedom of speech.
Speaker 4: This is called Tom Martino, this is called mart Major.
Speaker 4: This is called a troubleshooter show. This is called what
Speaker 4: we do. We start shining a light.
Speaker 9: So what can he do? How can he force welcome
Speaker 9: to discord financial records?
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, they're supposed to. They're supposed to

Speaker 5: to get stand the hl Man on and if we

Speaker 4: your troubleshooter three O three seven one three talks seven
Speaker 4: one three eight five. Another problem we've been following. Another
Speaker 4: major problem is Club Valencia. Club Valencia. Again, TV reporters
Speaker 4: pick up on it.
Speaker 5: This is where there was there.
Speaker 4: There are a lot of owners that own condos, a
Speaker 4: lot of them rent them out. But Club Valencia had
Speaker 4: had two fires and they are not getting coverage from
Speaker 4: insurance properly. The insurance company is withholding. They're suing their
Speaker 4: insurance company. It is a terrible situation. People have been displaced,
Speaker 4: yet they're still required to make mortgage payments and they've
Speaker 4: been without a home. And yesterday take the first one,
Speaker 4: line two. Anastasia called in and said, I'm one of
Speaker 4: the victims. Anastasia, are you there?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And you said I'm one of the victims. This is
Speaker 5: going on. It's terrible.
Speaker 4: And I said, we're well aware of it, and it's
Speaker 4: it's just amazing. And I asked what was going on?
Speaker 4: And I forget, I forget the the extent of it,
Speaker 4: but uh, you were not the only one who called
Speaker 4: in about it. Other people have called in And I asked, you.
Speaker 4: In fact, Cliff called in once and he says insurance
Speaker 4: is not paying.
Speaker 5: Where does it stand to date?
Speaker 4: I want to just take that and then we'll go
Speaker 4: into the second part.
Speaker 11: Well to date, at least for me, where it stands
Speaker 11: is that there are multiple lawsuits, one at the federal
Speaker 11: level that.
Speaker 10: Is against the.
Speaker 11: Master carrier to to for coverage because they've declined.
Speaker 4: Why did the insurance company Why did the insurance company
Speaker 4: decline coverage?
Speaker 11: It's my understanding that coverage was declined due to some
Speaker 11: technicality with the smoke alarms.
Speaker 4: And okay, okay, the public adjuster you hired, who is it?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 11: There is a public adjuster for the HOA. I do
Speaker 11: not have a public adjuster.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but hold on that that public adjuster is going
Speaker 4: to help you as.
Speaker 5: Well, meaning that yes, you know they're going to help
Speaker 5: you try to get this damn place on the road.
Speaker 11: Yes, and yes, that's correct. So that has been an
Speaker 11: ongoing effort.
Speaker 5: Well, we should get the damn public adjuster on to
Speaker 5: talk about.
Speaker 4: That's why I want to know who it is. I
Speaker 4: do want to get the public adjuster on. That's a
Speaker 4: great idea, So, Anastasia, I'd like to know why they're
Speaker 4: fighting it.
Speaker 8: Why what is the insurance company saying? Anastasia said something like,
Speaker 8: you know they didn't have the correct fire alarms, but
Speaker 8: I've never heard of anything like that.
Speaker 11: Well there you asked how it stands? That was your
Speaker 11: initial question.
Speaker 5: Yes, of course, And now is.
Speaker 11: That the courts are hearing sides on at least three lawsuits.
Speaker 11: Our HOA is working very hard to maintain the building
Speaker 11: so that the people who are left have good living conditions.
Speaker 11: So one hundred and sixty four units out of three
Speaker 11: hundred and twenty nine are behind chain link fence and
Speaker 11: have been boarded up behind chane link fence now for
Speaker 11: almost two years. This happened on a frigid night in
Speaker 11: November two years ago.
Speaker 12: People, Oh, I.
Speaker 8: Don't know how you could make just half the people
Speaker 8: hold the people that so there's still people living there, right, Yeah,
Speaker 8: but Mark.
Speaker 5: You have to understand the way it's laid out.
Speaker 4: The way slaid out, they were able to separate that
Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty four units.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, I'm saying in a final settlement, though, I
Speaker 8: don't think you can just make the people that are
Speaker 8: still living there make their units great and tell everybody
Speaker 8: else too bad.
Speaker 5: So sad you couldn't do that, Mark. But the other people, Mark,
Speaker 5: let me explain this. The other people do not have damage, correct, Okay,
Speaker 5: so they.
Speaker 11: Are occupied, are still okay?
Speaker 5: Yes, I understand that Mark didn't hear all of it.
Speaker 4: Okay, Mark, we're only talking about a percentage of those
Speaker 4: There are other units unaffected. We're talking about the ones
Speaker 4: that are affected. Okay, Okay, good. Now let's talk about
Speaker 4: this other Anastasia who called. There is another Anastesia apparently
Speaker 4: who owns a place there, and I want to bring
Speaker 4: her up because she called us and said, you know,
Speaker 4: I demand to know what's going on on. My friends
Speaker 4: told me I was on your radio show and I
Speaker 4: wasn't It was so big deal. There's two people named Anastasia,
Speaker 4: I believe. So what's going on the other? As I
Speaker 4: put it, the other Anastasia?
Speaker 5: Are you there?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I am.
Speaker 4: Okay, Now do you understand that there were two people?
Speaker 4: So your friends probably heard this Anastasia and thought it
Speaker 4: was you.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and that is just fine. And I noticed that
Speaker 12: the other Anastesia didn't say anything negative.
Speaker 4: But the problem is, well, she said a lot of
Speaker 4: stuff negative about the situation, right, that's not my issue.
Speaker 12: My issue is I had some of the legal issues
Speaker 12: with the HOA, so I need to make sure that
Speaker 12: nothing incriminating or false is said in Bin Dame regarding
Speaker 12: the situation, because honestly, I couldn't care less.
Speaker 10: I'm out of there.
Speaker 12: My grandmother's out of there. I called you guys in
Speaker 12: twenty two.
Speaker 4: Now do you still own a place there, Anastasia number two?
Speaker 10: I guess I do.
Speaker 5: Sure, okay, and what are you doing? You said you're
Speaker 5: out of there? Did you, guys? Were your Were yours
Speaker 5: one of the units that were damaged?
Speaker 12: You know? Unfortunately I'm at work and I don't have
Speaker 12: the opportunity to okay anything outside of the fact that.
Speaker 10: I just wanted to make a staatement.
Speaker 12: Okay that if there was another anistatious, different unit, different
Speaker 12: last name, fabulous?
Speaker 5: Is this? Are you? But but but so? Are you?
Speaker 4: Let's just answer this, Anastesia. Are you pursuing legal action
Speaker 4: against the club Valencia?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 10: Absolutely not. Why would I?
Speaker 5: Okay, so, but you're out of there? Did you sell
Speaker 5: your place?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 12: Okay, do the same thing, pap.
Speaker 5: Okay, but yours was not one of the ones damaged?
Speaker 10: Oh yes, it was.
Speaker 12: It was completely gone.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, okay, thank you for calling again.
Speaker 5: I have no idea.
Speaker 4: I have absolutely no idea the purpose of her call.
Speaker 4: Does anyone have any idea why she even called? Can
Speaker 4: you help us, Kachina, Why this other Anastesia called? She
Speaker 4: had nothing to say whatsoever? Does anyone know?
Speaker 5: Huh?
Speaker 9: I understood she wanted to make a record of the
Speaker 9: fact that she was not Anastasia Prime because this caller. Second,
Speaker 9: Anastasia is involved in some kind of a legal action.
Speaker 5: No, she says, she's not involved in She's.
Speaker 8: Specifically she should say something about a legal action.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, And then I asked her, are you suing
Speaker 5: She says no, they might be suing her. I don't
Speaker 5: know what the hell whatever.
Speaker 4: Just let's just hey, Anastesia number one, we need to
Speaker 4: we're still following this. I need you to help us
Speaker 4: get the name of the public adjuster.
Speaker 5: Can you do that?
Speaker 11: I can look that, look into that.
Speaker 5: Can you please help us?
Speaker 4: We want to figure out what the hell the hell
Speaker 4: is going on here, So let's uh, and maybe we
Speaker 4: can check.
Speaker 5: The court too.
Speaker 8: I've got like really basic questions and I have no idea.
Speaker 5: If you know the answers to these time.
Speaker 8: But if you're in these apartments, and I'm talking about
Speaker 8: the units that you.
Speaker 5: Can't live in anymore, do you still pay HOA?
Speaker 4: That's what Anastasia. Are they still collecting hoa's.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And this is where I was going back to
Speaker 8: what I was trying to point out. If they're paying HOA,
Speaker 8: where's that money going. If it's not fixing up the
Speaker 8: units that are broke. If their HOA payments are going
Speaker 8: towards the people that can still live there, that is
Speaker 8: just fundamentally unfair.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know. It's a mess. It's
Speaker 4: a freaking mess. That's a good point, Anastasia. You guys
Speaker 4: are not getting near the benefit for your HOA.
Speaker 5: Are you literally paying it the full amount?
Speaker 13: Yes?
Speaker 5: When do they say you'll have your unit back?
Speaker 11: I don't think there's any real deadline as far as
Speaker 11: that's concerned, because things are tied up in litigation, which
Speaker 11: could take.
Speaker 8: Year well, and then the assumption is you guys win
Speaker 8: the litigation. If you don't win it, from what I'm reading,
Speaker 8: there's twenty million dollars in damages in a special assessment
Speaker 8: with the average income of people that live there, it's
Speaker 8: never going to happen. It's absolutely never going to happen
Speaker 8: at twenty dollars in damage. I mean, that's crazy, markin
Speaker 8: where are you reading this? This is on a Denver
Speaker 8: seven story? It's crazy, though many.
Speaker 5: Did they actually did they actually cover the story about
Speaker 5: this whole thing?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean they've had they have quite a bit
Speaker 8: of information. Let me see how this is. I mean
Speaker 8: a lot of this it's kind of an old story.
Speaker 8: But the problem is nothing's been done. I mean, this
Speaker 8: is November of twenty three, and they got a hold
Speaker 8: of a lot of the documents and the HA said it.
Speaker 4: Was technically call her Is that technically an Aurora?
Speaker 11: It's a Rapacle County, I believe.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But what city is it? Is there a city or
Speaker 4: is it unincorporated?
Speaker 11: I'm not sure if it's Aurora or Denver? I think, Okay,
Speaker 11: I'm not sure.
Speaker 8: This one person, this guy named Alex, they're they're quoting.
Speaker 5: Listen to this time.
Speaker 8: So the h a way, he's in a unit that
Speaker 8: just burned to the ground. I mean he's got nothing.
Speaker 8: He owes more than twenty six hundred for one of
Speaker 8: his units, and he's going to end up owing the
Speaker 8: loss assessment to help prepare for the other units. If
Speaker 8: the insurance company pays or doesn't pay, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8: So he's gonna owe twenty six hundred plus. They're gonna
Speaker 8: hit all these people whose units burned down with the
Speaker 8: special assessment to fix the other It's absolutely crazy.
Speaker 5: I would walk away from it if it's possible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Mark, a lot of those people had or
Speaker 4: they thought they had equity. I'll bet you our caller
Speaker 4: Anesthesia thought she had equity there at one time.

Speaker 2: That's who you don't have run as a kid, No shoots,
Speaker 2: good come.
Speaker 3: This is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martino. Hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 4: Tom Martino. Here an action pack show. We got a
Speaker 4: lot of problems we're juggling. We're trying to get to
Speaker 4: the bottom of multimillion dollar problems. Some we believe could
Speaker 4: be a form of embezzlement. Others are theft from contractors.
Speaker 4: And again we need to get Justin Garcia arrested.
Speaker 5: He's a thief. And then there's another guy using.
Speaker 4: People's contracts and that's a roofer that Bo's been working with.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna bring them up in the studio here and Bo,
Speaker 5: he promised he was going to return that money, didn't
Speaker 5: he And he never did, never never did.
Speaker 7: He actually went to his house because he didn't call
Speaker 7: me back, and I had a conversation with them.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 8: I remember he was going to return it in a
Speaker 8: couple of weeks, right, he says.
Speaker 7: Would you just give me two weeks and I'll send
Speaker 7: you a picture of the check. And the reason he
Speaker 7: didn't do the roof because they had a disagreement about
Speaker 7: the color of the shingle.
Speaker 5: Josh Sandoval, and I believed him.
Speaker 6: He the guy who'd wink me, and we need to
Speaker 6: give out his number.
Speaker 8: To try to get him on air right now and
Speaker 8: see why he didn't come through with what he said.
Speaker 6: Let's call him, particularly, call him Tom.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to first go back to this one caller.
Speaker 4: I do want to call him in fact. Yeah, well,
Speaker 4: let's do that, but Bo, you can ask him he.
Speaker 5: Wants to come on the air, do it now.
Speaker 4: Mike listen, I looked into this, and I looked in
Speaker 4: this number, by the way, is used all over the country.
Speaker 4: It's used all over the country for code red eight
Speaker 4: six six, four one, nine, five thousand. Let me explain
Speaker 4: how caller ID works. Phone system subscribes or generates a
Speaker 4: caller ID based on a database, and many of them
Speaker 4: have numbers eight six six numbers coded the wrong way,
Speaker 4: and some have eight hundred numbers nine seven seven, different
Speaker 4: kinds of numbers coded different ways. And the coding that
Speaker 4: you see on your phone where you get a message
Speaker 4: as to where that number came from, does not come
Speaker 4: from the people who make the call. So Douglas County
Speaker 4: is simply using that number as every municipality around the
Speaker 4: country is, but Douglas County is not in charge. I
Speaker 4: knew it hung up because he didn't want He didn't
Speaker 4: want to hear this because he thinks it's Douglas County's fault.
Speaker 4: Douglas County does not encode it. So it's that simple.
Speaker 8: He might have some kind of anti spam software too
Speaker 8: that picks up on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So when you get a caller ID that's not
Speaker 4: coming from the people who generate the call, that's coming
Speaker 4: from a database. Now, there are ways to spoof it
Speaker 4: and to fake it so they can people who make
Speaker 4: a call can have software that would falsely give the
Speaker 4: impression for example, it's coming from an official agency. That
Speaker 4: is called call spoofing, and what they do is trick
Speaker 4: the databases into telling you it's someone official. Now, this
Speaker 4: is really important. By the way, Brian Burns, did you
Speaker 4: see if anyone else over there was available at Compass,
Speaker 4: not just Brian Kachina? Did you try Matt or did
Speaker 4: you try Jeremy or anyone else over there?
Speaker 17: Well, Jeremy is actually taking over some of Brian's duty's
Speaker 17: right now, and so he's not available, and that is
Speaker 17: also unavailable so I'm doing my best.
Speaker 4: Okay, Nick, We're trying to get some clarification here. I
Speaker 4: seem to remember yesterday Mark saying, excuse me, Brian saying
Speaker 4: that sewer line coverage and waterline coverage and all that
Speaker 4: kind and service lines coverage is good for sudden and
Speaker 4: accidental casualty loss, not for maintenance.
Speaker 5: Okay, Mark, I might have misheard him. I'll leave that open.
Speaker 5: I may have.
Speaker 4: It wouldn't have been the first time it happens, but
Speaker 4: I believe that's what he said. We need to get clarification. Now,
Speaker 4: do we have any other insurance experts? I mean, if
Speaker 4: if no one from Compass is available, which I find
Speaker 4: hard to believe because they answer the phone right now,
Speaker 4: if I call them, so.
Speaker 5: That part I don't understand.
Speaker 17: We can probably reschedule them. I don't I think they
Speaker 17: could be in meetings or something like that. So why
Speaker 17: don't we take Nick's okay no number?
Speaker 4: And I'm really yeah, yeah, yeah, I would really just
Speaker 4: want to know if it is yeah, okay, So I
Speaker 4: want to, Uh, I wonder if there's even anyone at
Speaker 4: I wonder if that if we can see the policy, do.
Speaker 8: You have try Castellano give them a call over there
Speaker 8: from the referral list.
Speaker 5: Or insurance group of Denver. All right, Kelly, that would
Speaker 5: be good.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll get one of them on. I bet we
Speaker 8: can get Costa what I'm sorry Castellano.
Speaker 4: Yeah, good guys, Okay, and ask him about safecoat specifically
Speaker 4: if he could, but if he doesn't know about it anyway,
Speaker 4: that that's where we're gonna start. Three oh three seven
Speaker 4: one three talk three oh three seven one three eight
Speaker 4: two five five. All right, So Mark is going this Friday.
Speaker 4: I wanted to talk about this because he is, and
Speaker 4: I wanted to. I'm hoping you can use video and
Speaker 4: all of that, right Mark, I'm because I should be
Speaker 4: able to.
Speaker 8: I'm going to zoom in with you while we're there,
Speaker 8: and when Trump takes a stage.
Speaker 5: I will zoom into you just like we do hear.
Speaker 8: From studio, and I will let everybody see kind of
Speaker 8: what's going on there, and hopefully I can walk around
Speaker 8: and interview some people.
Speaker 5: We'll see did you have.
Speaker 8: To sign up to get tickets out that the second
Speaker 8: it came out, which was two nights ago, I signed
Speaker 8: up on my phone and Suzanne's for tickets, so we
Speaker 8: got the tickets instantly. I also applied for a press
Speaker 8: pass and hopefully I get that. That'll just make my
Speaker 8: life a little easier Friday. But either way, I'm going
Speaker 8: to be there.
Speaker 4: That is so cool. And are they expecting a big crowd?
Speaker 8: Well, it's already sold out. I don't know what room.
Speaker 8: You know, you and I have been there numerous times
Speaker 8: for different Christmas parties and stuff. I can't imagine what
Speaker 8: room it's in there. They do have some pretty giant rooms.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, like the main Grand the Grand Room in
Speaker 8: the front. Yeah, but wherever it is there is completely
Speaker 8: it's sold out. It was sold out, I think as
Speaker 8: of yesterday it sold out quick.
Speaker 4: Okay, So I want you guys to stay tuned on
Speaker 4: Friday because we're gonna try to bring you some live
Speaker 4: coverage of this thing.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I remember Deputy Dan back in the day. I saw
Speaker 8: him on Fox News during a Trump rally in sixteen.
Speaker 8: He said something that's always stuck with me. He said,
Speaker 8: when Trump walks out, it's like a rock concert. He
Speaker 8: comes out with just this. You know, he owns the stage,
Speaker 8: he takes, he takes the whole thing over. People are
Speaker 8: going crazy. You would think it's a Metallica show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know he said he's like a rock star
Speaker 4: with that and anyway, so I want to mention that.
Speaker 4: So that's Friday, and then something else with this hurricane.
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people have friends in Loveland's Mark,
Speaker 4: your parents are there, but they're out of the path, right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're so they're in the Orlando area, but they
Speaker 8: have not only it'll probably still be a hurricane when
Speaker 8: it passes over around Orlando, Like, no kidding, It'll still
Speaker 8: be hurricane strength winds and a hurricane. There's tornadoes popping up,
Speaker 8: there's some or at least one that's already hit the ground,
Speaker 8: and then they're expecting one hundred mile an hour winds
Speaker 8: where they live. And you know that's about it. They're
Speaker 8: not going to have any flooding, at least I hope not.
Speaker 16: Hey, Tom, Yes, my best friend and my ex wife
Speaker 16: are in the dead center of the hurricane in Sarasota.
Speaker 16: Do you want me to have them call after it
Speaker 16: passes and give a report on what it does?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 5: Are they leaving or are they staying there?
Speaker 16: They have a ranch style house which they're leaving, and
Speaker 16: they're spending the week with some friends that have a
Speaker 16: condo on the third or fourth floor of a condo building,
Speaker 16: which and they have their Oh wait wait.
Speaker 4: But where's the condo building in sarah Soda Anrisota. But
Speaker 4: it's crazy because the direct HiT's going to be between
Speaker 4: Sarasota and Saint Pete.
Speaker 6: No, they expect to be directly hit.
Speaker 5: I wonder why they'd even stay there though. Yeah.
Speaker 16: Why they have the windows boarded up on the condo
Speaker 16: and they think that if on the third or fourth floor,
Speaker 16: I don't remember what it was, that they won't have
Speaker 16: any storm.
Speaker 6: Surge going that high.
Speaker 8: Well, I don't think to last storm surge that high,
Speaker 8: but from the last storm they went through, you could
Speaker 8: easily have a couch or a television or something fly
Speaker 8: right through the windows.
Speaker 6: Well, they have still covers on the windows.
Speaker 5: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 6: So that's why they felt safe.
Speaker 13: Tom.
Speaker 16: But I'll have them call afterwards and we'll get a
Speaker 16: first hand report.
Speaker 8: There's some idiot called Lieutenant Dan and he is going
Speaker 8: to be right there in Tampa Bay in his twenty
Speaker 8: foot sail boat riding out the storm. There's people literally
Speaker 8: betting whether the guy lives or not.
Speaker 5: What is he going to be doing? Camping did you
Speaker 5: didn't say camping out.
Speaker 8: No, he's going to be camping out in his twenty
Speaker 8: foot sailboat in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 5: Well, that's ridiculous. Here's something that I have. When you
Speaker 5: see the pictures of this storm, it really truly looks
Speaker 5: like a science fiction movie when you see them from space.
Speaker 5: And here's another thing, and this is what's shocking. I saw.
Speaker 4: Did anyone see the video of the hurricane hunters in
Speaker 4: the plane?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 4: No, Now they fly I didn't know they flew through
Speaker 4: Category fives.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they go right into the eye. Man, Well they go.
Speaker 4: Right, which is the calm part right there. So they
Speaker 4: go through the front, into the eye and out the back.
Speaker 5: That's right. That's incredible.
Speaker 16: These guys have cahonies made out of a cast iron
Speaker 16: seal to fly at one of those prop planes through that.
Speaker 6: It's just incredible.
Speaker 4: Well, coming back, I'm gonna tell you about my night
Speaker 4: when I covered Hurricane Daniel.
Speaker 5: I think it was Daniel, wasn't it? I still have
Speaker 5: the video. I'm going to try to Florida. Yeah, wait, wait,
Speaker 5: hurricane was it Dan? Wait?
Speaker 4: Hurricane It was a giant hurricane and I covered it
Speaker 4: and ended up in jail talk about that, and it's
Speaker 4: it's an amazing story though how this happened. And wait,
Speaker 4: I think I want to say, Daniel, but I'll look
Speaker 4: at the video.
Speaker 5: I'll see if I can even bring it up.
Speaker 4: By the way, we did get video of that parking lot,
Speaker 4: but Mark I played video the other day, which was fine.
Speaker 4: I can't seem and photos. This video for some reason

Speaker 4: All right, does anyone see our special guest over there?
Speaker 4: I'm going to go to the wide shot and then
Speaker 4: I'm going to this is this Let me just see
Speaker 4: there she they see she left?
Speaker 5: Nevermind she left. I was just trying to show that
Speaker 5: my daughter's cat there was.
Speaker 4: Okay, three O three seven one three A two five five.
Speaker 4: Let's go to the phones. Jim, what's going on?
Speaker 5: Jim?
Speaker 13: Just a FYI about a month ago or I picked
Speaker 13: it back about two months ago. Perceived the text on
Speaker 13: my phone and I opened it up and it looks
Speaker 13: like an official USPS, you know, United States Post Office.
Speaker 13: Than that they've got a package of mind sit in
Speaker 13: someplace in the US that's got like eighteen cents short
Speaker 13: of postage. I want my credit card information, yeah, which
Speaker 13: I knew it was a scam because first of all,
Speaker 13: how did they get my cell phone number? You know,
Speaker 13: when you send the package, who have certified whatever, you
Speaker 13: don't list your phone number. This happened the first time about,
Speaker 13: like I said, about two months ago, so I just
Speaker 13: ignored it, didn't think much of it. Now I've gotten
Speaker 13: two more in the last since then, and I just
Speaker 13: want to make people aware of it, you know, just
Speaker 13: it looks official. I mean it's got the USPS logo
Speaker 13: on it when you open it up, and it sounds official.
Speaker 13: But when you open it up, they ask for your name, address,
Speaker 13: zip code, all that stuff, and if it's something like
Speaker 13: posts do they want your credit card number? And I
Speaker 13: just want to make people aware of that because I
Speaker 13: think my name or my numbers on their rotation list,
Speaker 13: because it seems like I've been getting.
Speaker 4: And so they were different packages or was it the
Speaker 4: same one that they keep circling about.
Speaker 14: The first one that.
Speaker 13: Says it's supposted to And the second one I got
Speaker 13: was they wanted a correction on a mailing address. There
Speaker 13: was something wrong with the receiver's address. And yeah, you know,
Speaker 13: something like that.
Speaker 4: You would be you would be shocked at how many
Speaker 4: people fall for that stuff.
Speaker 5: Jim. It's amazing to me.
Speaker 4: It's not just the USPS, but they do it with FedEx,
Speaker 4: they do it with ups, they do it with all
Speaker 4: kinds of deliveries where they say you have a delivery
Speaker 4: and here's what it's going to take. And it's amazing
Speaker 4: and it's amazing how many people fall for it.
Speaker 5: Jim.
Speaker 6: Do you know what the URL was on that where
Speaker 6: it came from?
Speaker 16: No, Sir, I do not, Okay, because unless it was USPS,
Speaker 16: dot gov anything else, you immediately know what's a scam.
Speaker 13: Okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Doc, I think we went over this before.
Speaker 4: There are people that have been scammed because I don't
Speaker 4: trust people to look at the RL and know the
Speaker 4: route or if it's not the route, because sometimes it
Speaker 4: can say dot gov cs, it can say all kinds
Speaker 4: of stuff and be embedded.
Speaker 5: And I'm telling you.
Speaker 4: It's just I don't trust people unless they're skilled or
Speaker 4: familiar with URLs to be able to read it and
Speaker 4: discern whether it's genuine or not. And I would hate
Speaker 4: for someone to make a mistake and think, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: this is genuine. I would just say, Pierre, don't ever
Speaker 4: respond the USPS the only time they email you, and
Speaker 4: I get an email every day with informed delivery because
Speaker 4: I signed up for it. When you sign up for it,
Speaker 4: that's a whole different story. You're asking for them to
Speaker 4: email you on your daily deliveries, and that's a whole
Speaker 4: different ballgame. Three oh three seven one three Talks seven

Speaker 5: Hi Tom Martino here at three three seven on three
Speaker 5: talks seven one three two, five to five.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to Molly. She's been an HOA attorney
Speaker 4: for many years. How many years she said, eighteen years,
Speaker 4: eighteen years, and she's the HOA attorney for the yacht club.
Speaker 4: She's not going to talk about the specific yacht club details,
Speaker 4: but she will say what members have to do to
Speaker 4: see financial information. And for those who who have tuned in,
Speaker 4: there were a few callers from the yacht club, and
Speaker 4: we've talked to some others off the air who say
Speaker 4: they suspect there was some shenanigans going on with an
Speaker 4: eight point four million dollar insurance settlement paid to a
Speaker 4: contractor overseen by one of the board members, and they
Speaker 4: went so far as to say they think some of
Speaker 4: that money was misused. Blah, blah blah or that the
Speaker 4: quality of repairs was bad and they want to get
Speaker 4: financial information. So we called her and she said she
Speaker 4: can't talk about that specifically, but she can talk about
Speaker 4: what members of the HOA can do to get copies
Speaker 4: of financials, and she wants to talk.
Speaker 9: About what else general concerns about defamation.
Speaker 4: Okay, So Mollie, and I'm only using your first name
Speaker 4: because I don't have your last name. I don't mean
Speaker 4: disrespect Molly if you can, Okay, Okay, go ahead, Molly.
Speaker 18: Hi, I'm Molly Fuley Healey and I've been specializing an
Speaker 18: HOA lot for eighteen years now.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 18: And what everyone needs to know who's a member of
Speaker 18: an association is that under the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act,
Speaker 18: that's the state statute which regulates hoa's in Colorado, the
Speaker 18: section called Section three seventeen, which specifies the types of records,
Speaker 18: well actually the sole records of the association that owners
Speaker 18: have a right to request, and that does include records
Speaker 18: of receipts and expenditures affecting the operation and the administration
Speaker 18: of the association. So if owners want to see what
Speaker 18: checks were written or what financial transfers of money were
Speaker 18: occurred for the association. They should send a written request
Speaker 18: in this case to the manager of the association requesting
Speaker 18: that information and that will be turned over either within
Speaker 18: ten days of the request or if there's a meeting
Speaker 18: of the board which is within thirty days of the
Speaker 18: request for the records, they can also the association can
Speaker 18: also produce the records at that meeting. So in this
Speaker 18: particular case I've talked with, I was reached out to
Speaker 18: by the association and management, and those records are being
Speaker 18: compiled and will be produced to owners so that they
Speaker 18: can see and I suspect no, I know it will
Speaker 18: show that there is no personal gain.
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you now.
Speaker 4: Molly, by the way, being an officer of the court
Speaker 4: and an attorney, of course, if she's not going to
Speaker 4: put herself on the line to say that unless she
Speaker 4: believes it, I want to ask you something though, as
Speaker 4: far as in general with HOA members, this is not
Speaker 4: the first call we have gotten when HOA members accuse
Speaker 4: others of kickbacks. In fact, we've gotten dozens of calls
Speaker 4: over the years, and it always happens when the ha
Speaker 4: hires someone, they want to know why they hire that person.
Speaker 4: And why they hire them, and where's this money? And
Speaker 4: it seems so expensive and all of that. Now, I'm
Speaker 4: not going to say in every case the homeowners are
Speaker 4: are nuts. I'm not going to say in every case
Speaker 4: the ha members were cheating.
Speaker 5: All are the board members.
Speaker 4: But what I do want to say, what I do
Speaker 4: want to ask, is this, what if they look at
Speaker 4: that now? Now again, these are people looking at something
Speaker 4: saying this doesn't look good quality. It doesn't look like
Speaker 4: we got what we paid for. It doesn't look like
Speaker 4: it should be eight point four million or whatever or
Speaker 4: however much it was. What do homeowners do if they're
Speaker 4: not questioning the actual expenditure, but what they got.
Speaker 5: For the money.
Speaker 18: That's a really good question. And one of the things
Speaker 18: that I highly recommend to all members of hoa's all
Speaker 18: owners in HOAS is a ten meetings of the board.
Speaker 18: Under Colorado law, board meetings aren't open and typically there
Speaker 18: is an open forum in all of the meetings where
Speaker 18: owners can make comments and ask for information. And you know,
Speaker 18: if they have a concern about whether or not they
Speaker 18: got quality the association had quality construction from one of
Speaker 18: their contractors, you know they should email the manager not
Speaker 18: be rate a manager because they didn't do the construction right,
Speaker 18: but tell them what their issues are and communicate that,
Speaker 18: and then that is brought to the board, and the
Speaker 18: board can work with either the vendor, the contractor, or
Speaker 18: their legal counsel if they believe, you know, the work
Speaker 18: wasn't done appropriately or was not you know, done in
Speaker 18: a workmanship like manner, and you know, they can address
Speaker 18: that through either legal counsel or directly with the vendor, contractor.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 5: What I see so much that.
Speaker 18: Happens tom is people, and I think we're kind of
Speaker 18: in an age of conspiracy theories right now.
Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely, I.
Speaker 18: Have seen this over the last say ten years. I've
Speaker 18: really seen it escalate instead of jumping to conclusions and
Speaker 18: you know, and berating management or members of boards. I
Speaker 18: really recommend going to meetings, providing input and really doing
Speaker 18: that in a constructive manner. And I also recommend that
Speaker 18: boards do the same in return to homeowners right And
Speaker 18: as a result of those types of communications, a lot
Speaker 18: of these issues can be dealt with really constructively early on,
Speaker 18: in put to bed without people reacting and appropriately or
Speaker 18: jumping to conclusions about things. In my experience, most of
Speaker 18: the time hasn't happened, but you know if they don't have.
Speaker 5: In other words, in other words, to conclusions, put.
Speaker 4: Down the pitchforks and the torches and attend the meetings
Speaker 4: and see what happens.
Speaker 5: I want to ask you something as.
Speaker 4: An attorney for the HOA, though you are the attorney
Speaker 4: for the HOA, not just the board.
Speaker 18: I yeah, I you know attorneys who represent homeowners associations,
Speaker 18: we represent technically the corporate entity. We're not representing individual directors.
Speaker 18: We are providing advice based on the association specifically.
Speaker 4: In all of your years, you've been around a long
Speaker 4: time doing HUA law. I want to know just and
Speaker 4: I don't need to know where or when, but did
Speaker 4: you ever find something that could have been construed as
Speaker 4: embezzlement or financial malfeasans where you had to say, listen,
Speaker 4: this is wrong.
Speaker 18: I haven't seen that with my clients, but I have
Speaker 18: read news accounts and heard of that happening in just
Speaker 18: a small handful of associations and years ago, I was
Speaker 18: one of the advocates for manager licensure in Colorado.
Speaker 4: I believe didn't they didn't they just let that, didn't
Speaker 4: they just relax that again?
Speaker 18: Exactly what happened was manager licensure, including management company licensure
Speaker 18: was in effect, and when it's sunseted, the legislature passed
Speaker 18: the bill to continue the program, and it was probably
Speaker 18: four or five years ago Governor polus vetoed it.
Speaker 5: Why.
Speaker 4: I just don't understand that because a management it's so
Speaker 4: important in my opinion, because I mean, I know of
Speaker 4: a place where I lived where these idiots hired an
Speaker 4: idiot after they had a wonderful company, and it's because
Speaker 4: the licensing was suspended.
Speaker 5: I don't understand the thought behind it.
Speaker 18: There are some really phenomenal community association management companies and
Speaker 18: managers in Colorado, but there are also some that aren't great.
Speaker 18: And so what manager licensure did was it ensured that
Speaker 18: all managers, you know, understood the core competencies of what
Speaker 18: they are required to do with community association managers and
Speaker 18: have a basic understanding of Colorado law in terms of
Speaker 18: what their obligations are and what the obligations of the
Speaker 18: hoas they manage ore. And after manager managed, manager licensure
Speaker 18: went away. You know, while some management companies still do
Speaker 18: a phenomenal job of educating and supporting their managers, you know,
Speaker 18: other management companies can just crop up and you know,
Speaker 18: it doesn't require anything to become a management company or
Speaker 18: community association manager, and they just don't do.
Speaker 5: What was the.
Speaker 4: Reason he gave for vedoing this licensure law. I'm just curious.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to get political, but what was the reasoning?
Speaker 18: My recollection, Tom is that it was a libertarian approach.
Speaker 18: That Governor Polis as libertarian, does not believe in regulations. Okay,
Speaker 18: so that's my understanding, you know, but it's been a
Speaker 18: few years.
Speaker 8: Well that's funny here and out of Polish doesn't believe
Speaker 8: in regulation.
Speaker 5: My god, yeah, I know, I know. Learning that, I
Speaker 5: knew you would say something.
Speaker 4: Mark here, Okay, another question. Then you're gonna you're probably
Speaker 4: facing a whole new challenge. And that is we get
Speaker 4: calls all the time from homeowners who are upset that
Speaker 4: they're getting individual assessments because their insurance companies have backed
Speaker 4: out of full coverage or have huge deductions or they
Speaker 4: have to raise the HOA dues.
Speaker 5: And I try to explain to the members the HOA
Speaker 5: is you.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you don't pay the higher dues, you're
Speaker 4: going to end up with an assessment anyway.
Speaker 18: So this is the biggest prising crisis facing hoas, not
Speaker 18: only in Colorado but across the nation. And that's property
Speaker 18: insurance coverage. And it's particularly an issue with condominium projects
Speaker 18: in Colorado, right And what we're seeing is it started
Speaker 18: out as well wildfire types of issues. And then you
Speaker 18: look at what's happening in Florida. I don't even know
Speaker 18: how they're insured. They're but what's happening is the premiums
Speaker 18: for property insurance coverage, particularly in condominium projects, are skyrocketing.
Speaker 18: In Colorado. We're seeing carriers pulling out of the state
Speaker 18: of Colorado. We're seeing sky rocketing premiums. We're seeing the
Speaker 18: only way hoas can afford those premiums is to have
Speaker 18: higher deductibles on their property insurance coverage. I'm seeing anywhere
Speaker 18: from twenty five thousand dollars deductibles as a norm up
Speaker 18: to believe it or not, one hundred thousand dollars deductibles
Speaker 18: on water related claims. So it's not the association, it's
Speaker 18: a crisis in the insurance industry. And ha boards are
Speaker 18: required by law to ensure their communities to the require
Speaker 18: men stated in their declaration. And so you know they're
Speaker 18: having to increase assessment, right, they're having to levy special assessments,
Speaker 18: and a lot of owners who don't understand it or
Speaker 18: just are looking for somebody to escapegoat our blaming boards
Speaker 18: and it really they're only trying to purchase their association
Speaker 18: property coverage.
Speaker 5: Exactly.
Speaker 18: You can't not cover association. So it's it's a crisis
Speaker 18: time and that's a phenomenon.
Speaker 4: Now listen, listen, I have to take this break or
Speaker 4: we're gonna but Molly Healy, I mean Kachina, get her
Speaker 4: number and mark if you want to talk to her
Speaker 4: off the air and have her stay.

Speaker 4: of these these suspicions and problems are going on.
Speaker 5: Nick, I'll bring you up. Are you Are you on

Speaker 15: Don yeah, I'm not the vice president of the board
Speaker 15: right now.
Speaker 5: And are you the one who also sees some red flags?
Speaker 15: Well, I don't really know what I see, honestly, and
Speaker 15: I think this serdance right now is kind of a
Speaker 15: perfect example. I'm not familiar with the lawyer that called
Speaker 15: into your show.
Speaker 4: She wait, she said, she she said, she advised the board,
Speaker 4: and you're on the board exactly.
Speaker 15: I thought that was a very interesting, our interesting statement,
Speaker 15: because I've never heard of this person or had any
Speaker 15: conversation with them. And I asked this morning from our
Speaker 15: property manager if I could please talk to our representation,
Speaker 15: and I got nothing and heard about this.
Speaker 5: Oh hmm, that's strange.
Speaker 4: By the way, she seemed pretty reasonable as far as
Speaker 4: getting the financial information.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 19: Yeah.
Speaker 15: In fact, I really appreciated her points in terms of
Speaker 15: how to go about this. I've been asking through you know,
Speaker 15: the the property manager indirectly to my board colleagues for
Speaker 15: answers to the questions that are outlied in the.
Speaker 4: Exact And I think if you follow those you can
Speaker 4: even see the ach payments that were made to the

Speaker 4: Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three O three seven
Speaker 4: one three, talk seven one three, eight, two five five.
Speaker 4: We are here solving problems, answering questions, taking complaints, as
Speaker 4: we've done for nearly fifty years. And we have deputies
Speaker 4: that help us too, retired, very when they're not all retired.
Speaker 4: Actually Deputy D's not retired, but what I mean by
Speaker 4: retired is very active retired smart people, doctors, accountants, business people, entrepreneurs.
Speaker 4: So welcome, and Deputy BO, speaking of our deputies, he
Speaker 4: has a follow up, Deputy Bo, what's going.
Speaker 9: On with you?
Speaker 7: This case was back in August fourteenth. Our name's Rihanna.
Speaker 7: She's co owner of the Copper Connection. If you remember
Speaker 7: that she returned I.
Speaker 4: Turned some stuff and was going to get credit and
Speaker 4: she got partial credit only.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was twelve thousand dollars I think it was
Speaker 7: thirteen thousand dollars and they gave her three thousand immediately
Speaker 7: and she was still owed ten thousand dollars in credit.
Speaker 5: And whatever, what did they say they were going to
Speaker 5: do about that? So they were at fault.
Speaker 7: They did not get a receipt, and apparently the manager
Speaker 7: that they were friends with this at this City Electrical
Speaker 7: Supply abruptly left like the next day or two days
Speaker 7: after they returned it. So the City Electric supplycense they
Speaker 7: didn't have proof of the return. They hired a collection
Speaker 7: attorney and they sued the Copper Connection for the ten thousand.
Speaker 5: When did she come on the air? August fourteenth?
Speaker 6: I got fourteenth.
Speaker 5: I really appreciate that. Thank you, I got it. Yep, okay, huh.
Speaker 6: So I think we got a pretty good ending here.
Speaker 7: I kept calling a manager of the of City Electric Supply,
Speaker 7: and actually have a cousin that works at one of
Speaker 7: the branches. So I kept calling and calling and asking
Speaker 7: if there'd be some sort of resolution to this. So
Speaker 7: Rihanna called me a few weeks ago and said they
Speaker 7: wanted to go to a mediation. So they went to
Speaker 7: a mediation, and the City Electric Supply said, we're sick
Speaker 7: and tired of the Martino Show leaving us messages, so
Speaker 7: we want to try to work something out. So they
Speaker 7: did get a settlement on the credit. They had to
Speaker 7: sign an NDA. I don't know what it was, but
Speaker 7: I assume it was probably half, So they got half
Speaker 7: of this ten probably sixty percent of the ten thousand dollars,
Speaker 7: but better. The City Electric Supply called off the lawsuit,
Speaker 7: So they squashed the lawsuit and they got a partial credit.
Speaker 4: You think, who do you think was that fault here?
Speaker 4: Because you were in the biz and of supply and
Speaker 4: contractor and all that. But you know, the electrical contractor
Speaker 4: really did not have any proof.
Speaker 7: The the the contractor of the copper connection did not
Speaker 7: get a receipt for the return. So if I was
Speaker 7: the owner of City Electric Supply, I think I would
Speaker 7: have balked at at giving them credit because they didn't
Speaker 7: have proof of the return. But on the other side
Speaker 7: of the coin, the manager of this particular store abruptly left.
Speaker 6: For some reason, so there might have been something going on.
Speaker 6: Maybe you took avery.
Speaker 5: Did you believe Rihanna and her story though you believed
Speaker 5: the copper.
Speaker 6: I believe she was sincere. I believe that she did return.
Speaker 4: To all Camp product, all right. I mean, I'm glad
Speaker 4: they were able to work it out.
Speaker 7: It's been a long haul, but they came to a settlement.
Speaker 7: She they called off the lawsuit, and she did get.
Speaker 6: Partial credit, which I believe is probably half. So that
Speaker 6: was I think a good It is a good outcome.
Speaker 7: And she said, if it wasn't for the Martino Show,
Speaker 7: calling in that their company would have.
Speaker 4: Been You know, this is a This is a good
Speaker 4: thing because I get to use my dinger and you
Speaker 4: know what they say, if you don't use it, you
Speaker 4: lose this.
Speaker 5: That's really good. Okay, Now, Deputy Doc has a follow up.
Speaker 5: Deputy Doc.
Speaker 6: I spoke to Tracy, whose son was having problems up
Speaker 6: in Boulder.
Speaker 5: Now let's talk about this.
Speaker 4: This is where she said her son was having a
Speaker 4: psychotic episode. He suffers from schizophrenia, and they wouldn't do
Speaker 4: any He's thirty three years old, he's not paying his rent,
Speaker 4: he's not taking his meds, he's having episodes.
Speaker 5: He won't even acknowledge her.
Speaker 4: So they were having trouble and they wanted to get
Speaker 4: him admitted against his will, and they couldn't get any
Speaker 4: one to do it right.
Speaker 16: Well, I spoke to Tracy, and apparently he's living alone.
Speaker 16: He's managing to survive in his apartment. He has a
Speaker 16: job which he's going to faithfully. And so she's she
Speaker 16: gave me she was going to call me back and
Speaker 16: give me the number of who she spoke to at
Speaker 16: the bowl of the Crisis Center, which I'm waiting for.
Speaker 6: She hasn't given me that yet.
Speaker 16: But my feeling is, Tom, here's a guy who's living
Speaker 16: on his own, has it, who's working and has.
Speaker 5: No problems at work, but he's not paying his bills.
Speaker 6: But is that enough to know?
Speaker 5: It's not?
Speaker 6: That's now, it's not that's my problem. I don't think
Speaker 6: the crisis center is going to intervene on They don't.
Speaker 5: They don't see a crisis exactly.
Speaker 6: So I will talk to him when she because the
Speaker 6: number he.
Speaker 5: Said, he wasn't groomed and he was acting weird. He
Speaker 5: wouldn't acknowledge his own mom. He's not paying his bills.
Speaker 6: Every day, so how can that be?
Speaker 5: He really is going to work day?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what she says.
Speaker 5: Do you know what kind of work he does?
Speaker 16: Well?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a dishwasher had Whole Foods.
Speaker 5: Well you didn't have to give the name, but okay,
Speaker 5: Oh anyway.
Speaker 16: All right, he said, So I will let you know
Speaker 16: if the crisis center has anything to say, but I
Speaker 16: doubt it.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 6: And also.
Speaker 16: I think we're going to get a great resolution on
Speaker 16: the lady that had the speed Queen washer.
Speaker 5: Oh that one was outrageous. I want to talk about
Speaker 5: that while you're on Okay, let's talk.
Speaker 4: So the original call was she bought a Speed Queen,
Speaker 4: but she bought it from a fat factory appliance outlet,
Speaker 4: and Mark, you were gone that day because I wanted
Speaker 4: to talk to you about that, because you were the
Speaker 4: one that read all of their terms and conditions, and
Speaker 4: from what we could see, the one we looked at
Speaker 4: said they get full factory warranties.
Speaker 8: So I didn't understand. They might sell stuff that is
Speaker 8: full factory warranty.
Speaker 5: Okay, but then they also sell stuff that doesn't. They
Speaker 5: definitely sell.
Speaker 8: I don't want to call him second against, but you know,
Speaker 8: things that do not cover do not have the manufacturer's warranty, okay.
Speaker 5: So it was a Speed Queen and she got it,
Speaker 5: could not get anyone to service it. So where do
Speaker 5: we stand with that? Doc?
Speaker 16: Well, I spoke to our last night and Speed Queen
Speaker 16: is going to give her a new washer.
Speaker 5: Wonderful man. That's great.
Speaker 16: There was one hundred and eighty dollars charge for shipping,
Speaker 16: which they are also going to refund.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 16: So we were able to get in touch with Speed Queen.
Speaker 16: We spoke to somebody at who was able to effect
Speaker 16: this change, and they're supposed to set up a delivery
Speaker 16: date today for about the good news on there. Yes,
Speaker 16: and that love you know was a twelve hundred dollars washer.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, that's really good stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it when, as somebody once said, when
Speaker 4: a plan comes together, that was the a team right.

Speaker 5: for iHeart is five seven seven three nine. And I
Speaker 5: do have a text and it has to do. It's
Speaker 5: very I like it. Tom. What do you think of
Speaker 5: some of these hacks?
Speaker 14: You know?
Speaker 5: Do you like the word hacks? Do you think it's overused? Hacks?
Speaker 5: I don't know what he's referring to. Well, he found out.
Speaker 5: He didn't think it would work, but he did it.
Speaker 4: He took salt and put a bunch of salt in
Speaker 4: his drain that was clogged, and it sat for four
Speaker 4: hours and cleared it out.
Speaker 5: Now, why in the hell would anybody do that?
Speaker 4: Why they saw they saw it online and they thought,
Speaker 4: you know what, Now, maybe that would even be more expensive,
Speaker 4: wouldn't it.
Speaker 5: He actually put in how much? I don't see.
Speaker 4: Oh, he put in a half a cup and some
Speaker 4: baking soda and it cleared his drain.
Speaker 5: Now there is another one that he said. He said,
Speaker 5: so that got me to looking online or hacks, and
Speaker 5: it's become a hobby.
Speaker 20: I think that would be very bad for salt, salt
Speaker 20: and breaking and baking soda might produce some comradoxide guess,
Speaker 20: which would obviously expand and maybe unclog.
Speaker 6: A small clog in the drain.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it can very create a big clog.
Speaker 8: It might create issues too, you mean like health issues, Mark, No,
Speaker 8: not health issues like if you have septic maybe, or
Speaker 8: I mean, I can't imagine dumping a bunch of salt
Speaker 8: down my sink.
Speaker 5: It doesn't make any.
Speaker 16: So I don't think half of half a cup of
Speaker 16: salts in a baking soda is not going to do
Speaker 16: any harm.
Speaker 6: But like I said, I think it may.
Speaker 16: Produce some uh comerat dioxide which could clear a small
Speaker 16: clog in the drain.
Speaker 4: So anyway, he said, it got to be a hobby
Speaker 4: with him and he would like to be by deputy
Speaker 4: for hacks. But that ain't gonna happen. But here's another
Speaker 4: one you want to hear one. Here's on it's the
Speaker 4: use of vasilis.
Speaker 5: I can't even say it with a straight face. It's
Speaker 5: not what you think, you dirty minded morons on YouTube.
Speaker 5: It's a sixty second trick to rebuild your teeth and gums.
Speaker 5: What it says that there is uh.
Speaker 4: He found beneficial bacteria and the power to rejuvenate your gums,
Speaker 4: potentially making them more resilient and stronger.
Speaker 5: I have no idea what he's talking about, but it's.
Speaker 4: It has to do with putting vaciline on your gums
Speaker 4: and teeth and what the hey yeah mean, look at it.
Speaker 4: They said they're gonna they said they want I'm gonna
Speaker 4: play this thing.
Speaker 5: Hold on, where is it? Hold on? Did that? Did
Speaker 5: that work for you? When you try to drag us
Speaker 5: you can hear it?
Speaker 19: Hold on, Hello, my name is doctor Drew Sudden, and
Speaker 19: I want to show you something that few people get
Speaker 19: the chance to see. This as a pair of twenty
Speaker 19: five hundred year old teeth from one of our ancestors.
Speaker 5: It looks like this.
Speaker 19: How are you gonna sell me being very deep in
Speaker 19: the mud for centuries and accidentally excavated.
Speaker 5: Come on to the point, you know what. That's the
Speaker 5: problem with some of these marketing videos. You click them
Speaker 5: and you want to hear, and they go on and
Speaker 5: on and on and on and all you want and
Speaker 5: it's okay, this guy tricked me, so now they're going
Speaker 5: to want to sell minute commercial.
Speaker 4: It's probab it's way longer than two minutes, by the
Speaker 4: looks of it. I just want to get around to
Speaker 4: how you use the vasoline. And here's another one toenail fungus.
Speaker 4: How to get it, how to get rid of it?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 5: Now toenail? Do you ever have toenail fungus? No? I haven't.
Speaker 4: Oh no, but here's what you do. Use you put
Speaker 4: lemons on your toes and wrap them lemon slices on
Speaker 4: your toes. Yeah, instead of going to the doctor. Now
Speaker 4: here's another one, a clock a clockwise massage of your
Speaker 4: lower belly in order to loosen up your bells. Well,
Speaker 4: that makes sense, and this actually shows you how to
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 16: That with the case, every dog in existence would have
Speaker 16: diarrhea because everybody rubs the belly of.
Speaker 6: Their pet dogs.
Speaker 5: Not like they're showing here. This is a real massage.
Speaker 4: But anyway, there are some pretty crazy so called hacks,
Speaker 4: and frankly I don't like a lot of them.
Speaker 5: So far, I haven't heard one.
Speaker 16: By the way, I just looked up the formula for
Speaker 16: baking soda and there's chlorine in it and hydrogen, so essentially,
Speaker 16: if you combine that, you could put use carbon dioxide
Speaker 16: plus hydrochloric acid, which could loosen up a drain.
Speaker 5: Okay, then what about mustard on sore joints.
Speaker 4: I don't think so, I don't know. I don't think
Speaker 4: that'll work anyway. Three all three seven, one, three eight
Speaker 4: two five five. Sorry, Anita, what's going on with you?
Speaker 5: Hi? Anita?
Speaker 10: So I've been a member with the Welsfago Bank at
Speaker 10: a wrapper Hole crossing for the past thirty five years
Speaker 10: with my husband. We both had doctors. My parents died
Speaker 10: abroad and they had lots of acids and various banks
Speaker 10: around the world. It's a blessing that I'm getting the
Speaker 10: moneys to America, you know, because it helps our banks here.
Speaker 5: How much money, Anita, are we How much money are
Speaker 5: we talking about?
Speaker 10: I can I'll tell you a lot. But the bottom
Speaker 10: line is I've been with this bank. I went to
Speaker 10: get a poa paperwork done, just one page with English
Speaker 10: on one side and a foreign language on the other side,
Speaker 10: because my parents died abroad. So this that's what Fargo
Speaker 10: Bank had me and my husband at age seventy eight
Speaker 10: waiting there for two hours. So we went to see
Speaker 10: the banker and he was like, well, we can't do it.
Speaker 10: We need a foreign translator.
Speaker 5: No, wait a minute.
Speaker 4: If you were trying, what were you trying to do?
Speaker 4: Deposit money or transfer it from Europe?
Speaker 10: Very simple? Power of attorney. Just needed to notarize. I
Speaker 10: just needed that notorization takes two minutes.
Speaker 5: That's all you needed. Wait from wait?
Speaker 4: Wait what did you need notarize? The power of attorney?
Speaker 4: Yes see, but it was the power of attorney from
Speaker 4: your parents to you. Yes, they have to they would
Speaker 4: have to witness the signature in order to do.
Speaker 5: You have to be there. Yeah they your parents.
Speaker 15: No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 10: So my parents are dead. So I'm sorry. My parents
Speaker 10: are dead. So it's a power of attorney paperwork.
Speaker 5: And uh what what is the power of attorney? For
Speaker 5: God's sake, what is it? Mark? She said, is to
Speaker 5: move their money into banks. Here you have from who
Speaker 5: to who? It's from her parents what her parents are dead.
Speaker 10: Okay, So I'll explain it to you.
Speaker 5: It's a process.
Speaker 10: What happens is it's step by step, Alex. I'll make
Speaker 10: it really speed and short. The first thing you have
Speaker 10: to do is get a notary off the power of
Speaker 10: attorney paperwork that I have. It's nobody's business. It's mine
Speaker 10: and they all they have to do is notarize it.
Speaker 10: The next step of but.
Speaker 5: This is Anita. I don't mean to keep interrupting you,
Speaker 5: but this is very important.
Speaker 4: When you see notarize it, do they need to notarize
Speaker 4: your signature on it or your parents?
Speaker 10: My my signature on it and the bankers.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's okay. In other words, they're notarizing that you
Speaker 4: are signing it.
Speaker 5: Yes, exactly, they're not notarizing your parents' signature.
Speaker 10: No, no, they're dead.
Speaker 5: Okay, No, I got you. Now, keep going, go ahead.
Speaker 10: Okay. So the step is you get the notorization. Then
Speaker 10: the next step I have to do is to go
Speaker 10: to the State Department in Colorado, which I did, and
Speaker 10: then the other step after that is you've got to
Speaker 10: send it to the State Department in Washington, DC. And
Speaker 10: I'm happy for these procedures. You have to do it
Speaker 10: because you don't want drug money coming into America. So
Speaker 10: I phoned us. So the main step for me to
Speaker 10: get all of this done is all I have to
Speaker 10: do is just get the notorization from the bells Fago
Speaker 10: at a wrapp over crossing.
Speaker 5: Well, you can get it, well, you can get a
Speaker 5: notary from anybody. We can get you a notary if
Speaker 5: all If all they're notarizing is your signature. You just
Speaker 5: have to show ID a sample of your signature and
Speaker 5: sign it in front of the notary.
Speaker 10: H That's exactly what I did. I was to do
Speaker 10: at the bank. They refuse me. The people refuse me.
Speaker 5: So I just, like Tom said, then go to a
Speaker 5: different bank.
Speaker 10: That's what I had to drive all the way to
Speaker 10: the downtown of Wells Fago Bank. They notuorize it in
Speaker 10: a minute. The same thing happened to me with the
Speaker 10: same bank. I then had to drive to the Wells
Speaker 10: Fago Bank at shady Cheat and Alita can.
Speaker 8: I can I ask you something? Why why do you
Speaker 8: just keep going to Wells Fargo. You can virtually go
Speaker 8: to almost any bank's going to have a notary.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but my you can pay ten bucks in a note,
Speaker 5: but her money, her money is in Wells Fargo.
Speaker 6: Well, just transfer to a different bank, open up a
Speaker 6: new account.
Speaker 5: And Nita, if you don't like the way you were treated,
Speaker 5: I don't blame you. I would move. I would just
Speaker 5: go to another bank.
Speaker 9: Yeah, just move.
Speaker 10: I just want to tell you I did contact the
Speaker 10: district manager, Carmine d Memory at seven one eight sixty six,
Speaker 10: nine zero six. He told me go to another belt
Speaker 10: Fago bank.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 10: But the thing is, the bottom line is this my husband.
Speaker 13: I am old.
Speaker 10: We've been with this bank for thirty five years. It's
Speaker 10: close to our house. My thing is I contacted the NWACP.
Speaker 8: What are you trying to say that they're prejudiced against you?
Speaker 8: I mean, let's just cut to the chase here.
Speaker 5: Yes, oh why why?
Speaker 10: Because I have Callity is my last name. They think
Speaker 10: I'm Arab when I'm East Indian. I mean also, I
Speaker 10: did do a complaint. I had got a reference number.
Speaker 4: No, Anita, I understand you said you're seventy eight years old.
Speaker 4: You and your husband are retired doctors. Listen, Anita, I
Speaker 4: understand that you're upset. I probably would be too. I
Speaker 4: don't if you felt they were you felt it was
Speaker 4: because of your color and your name? Yes, really, but
Speaker 4: the Downtown office. Why would the Downtown office because they.
Speaker 8: Weren't that way she's saying. She's saying the branch that
Speaker 8: she has dealt with is that way. The other branches aren't.
Speaker 10: Exactly.
Speaker 5: If you what would you like us to do. Let's
Speaker 5: put it that way. What do you think we should do?
Speaker 10: I just called, I have contacted the NWACP, and I
Speaker 10: also contacted States represented.
Speaker 5: You're doing all the right things. Yeah, you are doing
Speaker 5: the right thing.
Speaker 10: But if you want other people cheated this way? And
Speaker 10: then I also want to Yeah.
Speaker 16: You've been with them for thirty five years, right, yes,
Speaker 16: in all those thirty five years, have they ever shown
Speaker 16: any indication of prejudice against you and all your dealings
Speaker 16: in all those years?
Speaker 5: Good question.
Speaker 10: Oh, they've been really good. That's why I stayed with them.
Speaker 5: Is it a new guy? It could be just somebody
Speaker 5: there that was It's just a jerk.
Speaker 10: It's five years. It's five years, sir. It's been five years,
Speaker 10: you know, and they should be happy because you know.
Speaker 4: But anyway, by the way, Anita, Anita, what kind of
Speaker 4: medicine did you practice?
Speaker 10: My husband's a surgical pathologist and I ran the business
Speaker 10: along with him. I have a PhD from du got it?
Speaker 4: Okay, listen, Anita, I would hang on. I got to
Speaker 4: take this break, and we'd love to help you, but
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what you want us to do. Doc
Speaker 4: talked her off the air and see what we can

Speaker 4: three nine two zero sixteen twenty two. Hi Tom Artino
Speaker 4: here three oh three seven one three talks seven one
Speaker 4: three eight two five five. You know, I guess if
Speaker 4: you not, if you're not a person of color, you
Speaker 4: may not ever have that feeling or know what it's
Speaker 4: like when you feel someone is discriminating against you because
Speaker 4: of your color.
Speaker 5: I don't know one thing I do know, and I
Speaker 5: hear this a lot.
Speaker 4: There's no two ways about it, So Anita said, I
Speaker 4: went and tried to get something notarized. I was given
Speaker 4: a hard time. I think it's because of my color,
Speaker 4: my race, my last name. And here's the deal. As
Speaker 4: I said, there's no way for me to put a
Speaker 4: handle on that if it's never happened to me, or
Speaker 4: if I'm not a person of color at the But
Speaker 4: one thing I do know, through my many years of
Speaker 4: getting calls like this, almost all people.
Speaker 5: Who are white don't believe it totally.
Speaker 4: They somehow think, oh, they're exaggerating, or they must be
Speaker 4: not all white people, but the majority of white people think, oh,
Speaker 4: come on, really, come on, really, it really is taken
Speaker 4: with a grain of salt. I really have noticed that now,
Speaker 4: you know, we think to ourselves. Even when she was talking,
Speaker 4: I was thinking, are there really people today?
Speaker 5: Now? Honest to God, I'm thinking this.
Speaker 4: Are there really people today who will look at someone
Speaker 4: who's black or is she said a dark and or
Speaker 4: with an Arab name, or with even an African name
Speaker 4: or something? Are there people who would treat them poorly
Speaker 4: because of it? Of course, Well there are extremes, but
Speaker 4: look at most of.
Speaker 8: Our college campuses right now and how they talk about
Speaker 8: and treat Jewish people.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is happening.
Speaker 16: But like I said, Tom, she was there for thirty
Speaker 16: five years and never was discriminated against, Never in thirty
Speaker 16: five years, so it could have been just one idiot.
Speaker 16: But it certainly isn't a Wells Fargo policy as well,
Speaker 16: not what we know it's not.
Speaker 6: But you've been at that bank for thirty five years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but see, oh god, these people love to drop
Speaker 5: the race card.
Speaker 4: See I'm so sick of it. That was a comment
Speaker 4: on YouTube. That is what I hear a lot of.
Speaker 4: I hear that a lot that the race card. But
Speaker 4: as I said, if we without being of color or
Speaker 4: black or whatever, I can't I can't say.
Speaker 5: I mean, I really can't say that.
Speaker 4: There might be a real feeling there that that comes
Speaker 4: from something that they sense that I could never sense.
Speaker 5: That is that that is a possibility. So anyway, the
Speaker 5: bottom line is.
Speaker 6: It's not.
Speaker 5: We can't just say they're all playing the race card.
Speaker 12: What.
Speaker 5: Here's what I want to know.
Speaker 4: What would it be to her benefit to call and
Speaker 4: to complain about Wells Fargo saying, you know, I feel
Speaker 4: like I was discriminated against her. I'm given a hard time.
Speaker 4: I know that feeling of being of being not treated properly.
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying because of race or anything, but
Speaker 4: that is a terrible feeling. And I guess there's nowhere
Speaker 4: else to go. So you know, they come to this
Speaker 4: They come to this show and want to just air it.
Speaker 5: That's fine. Like the guy in the King Super's grocery store.
Speaker 4: Okay, now that guy that was okay, that was probably
Speaker 4: a little exaggeration. Mark's talking about a guy that went
Speaker 4: to buy cigarettes at King Soupers. The woman wouldn't help
Speaker 4: him and supposedly told them to get Leonard to help him,
Speaker 4: who was a black man, And he said, because I'm racist.
Speaker 4: That's what the clerk supposedly said. And I think that
Speaker 4: was probably done out of exaggeration.
Speaker 8: And apparently everybody heard him, and then he was running
Speaker 8: around the store while on the phone with us, and
Speaker 8: I am sure that all these people that heard him, hey,
Speaker 8: can you please tell Tom that what you heard the
Speaker 8: other day? And every one of them said, but see,
Speaker 8: we have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: But that's the problem, by the way, with with racial complaints,
Speaker 4: sexual harassment complaints, or domestic violence complaints or complaints like that,
Speaker 4: when you get a few phonies here and there that
Speaker 4: make those complaints, it makes it really difficult for the
Speaker 4: real victims.
Speaker 5: I mean, it really can make.
Speaker 4: It difficult because you tend to see somebody like that
Speaker 4: black man who exaggerated about king soupers, and I think
Speaker 4: he did. He couldn't get one person to corroborate a story,
Speaker 4: not one who the big one is, who was.
Speaker 8: The big actor Jesse or no it's not Jesse. It's like, yes,
Speaker 8: he smoll it or something Justice Jose. Yeah, he said
Speaker 8: a bunch of white guys jumped them and beat them
Speaker 8: up in the subway, and he made the whole thing
Speaker 8: up with the subway sandwich made it through the beating
Speaker 8: with a maga hat, right, Yeah, with a maga hat.
Speaker 5: They the one guy had a maga hat. And it
Speaker 5: all turned out to be a lie that it.
Speaker 8: Was funny because the people forwards, yeah, pointing out that
Speaker 8: his subway sandwich was unharmed in the beat.
Speaker 5: It was totally unharmed. I mean, it was like crazy.
Speaker 5: The lettuce wasn't even no one questioned him.
Speaker 8: You know, everybody in New York, at least as far
Speaker 8: as the left wing media, was pretty much like, oh
Speaker 8: my god, those mega can you.
Speaker 5: Only though that guy ruined his entire career over that.
Speaker 17: Well, don't forget the news, the fake news that was
Speaker 17: wrapped around his neck.
Speaker 9: That's the guy.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's right. Yeah, that was just Mullet's Chicago.
Speaker 9: It was small, and I think he went to jail
Speaker 9: for that.
Speaker 8: From all they kept kicking it the can or something.
Speaker 5: Wait, wait, I don't he prosecuted him. Fine, maybe I
Speaker 5: don't know. Anyway, find out whatever happened to him.
Speaker 8: But example, like you were saying, though of a guy,
Speaker 8: I mean, it's just so outrageous. Then people look at
Speaker 8: that and go, oh, everybody must.
Speaker 6: Be doing that.
Speaker 4: That's right, And that's the bad part, you know, that's
Speaker 4: the bad part. Anyway, We have more coming up on

Speaker 4: Now we don't know what's gonna happen, but one of
Speaker 4: the authorities did reach out to us.
Speaker 5: And said they want to discuss it. So that's good news.
Speaker 5: I don't want to.
Speaker 4: Give the exact authority that did that because we're not
Speaker 4: sure if they can do anything, but I at least
Speaker 4: they're listening to us, and that's really important.

Speaker 5: Man, this is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martino, Hey.
Speaker 4: Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three
Speaker 4: seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five. Man,
Speaker 4: what's going on in your life? How can we help you?
Speaker 5: Well, we.
Speaker 4: Are really really happy because behind the scenes we had
Speaker 4: long We have a lot of stuff going on. I
Speaker 4: can't talk about all of it right now.
Speaker 5: But I will tell you that a lot of people
Speaker 5: who were going after are going to come down. I
Speaker 5: think that in general, here are the cases we're following now.
Speaker 4: First and foremost, we had this situation and we had
Speaker 4: the attorney on, and I will say the attorney sounded
Speaker 4: very reasonable to us. Really, she's very straightforward and said,
Speaker 4: from her knowledge, there's nothing a skance going on, no
Speaker 4: personal gain.
Speaker 5: No fraud.
Speaker 4: But a few people, more than a few people behind
Speaker 4: the scenes, have contacted me about the yacht club. That's
Speaker 4: a community in Thornton condo community where they were recently
Speaker 4: awarded eight point four million dollars in an inch surance
Speaker 4: claim after they sued their insurance company. That's good news,
Speaker 4: by the way, and then as a result of that
Speaker 4: they had repairs done.
Speaker 5: But they claim that the eight point four million is
Speaker 5: missing and they don't believe it all went towards the repairs.
Speaker 5: Let's just put it that way.
Speaker 4: The attorney came on to tell us for the ha,
Speaker 4: here's how you get a copy of all of the.
Speaker 5: The financials and the bills and the invoices.
Speaker 4: We had somebody on the board who was supposedly in
Speaker 4: charge of that construction project who left and we were
Speaker 4: told bought a big house.
Speaker 5: Look, I don't know about that.
Speaker 4: Then another guy that on the on the board says
Speaker 4: he's looking into it, and he's and they keep throwing
Speaker 4: up roadblocks. And he was shocked when he heard the
Speaker 4: attorney on the air today because he said, guess what
Speaker 4: I've asked us to speak to our council, our corporate counsel,
Speaker 4: and I could never get a name. So we are
Speaker 4: hearing different things. But I will say that if something
Speaker 4: is going on, this attorney. Look, this attorney and most attorneys,
Speaker 4: I know we joke about attorneys, but they truly aren't
Speaker 4: going to sacrifice their freedom, their lives, their lives, their
Speaker 4: careers and all of that to help crooked people. Okay,
Speaker 4: they really aren't. They're not going to lie openly. And
Speaker 4: in any case, whatever's going on at the Odd Club
Speaker 4: is far from over. And the one board member, he says,
Speaker 4: they're trying to push him out right.
Speaker 5: Now because of his inquiries. Isn't that right, Deputy? I mean, we,
Speaker 5: Deputy D let me talk to you because you're you
Speaker 5: really uh you know, you really said that this guy
Speaker 5: is probing and he did not believe.
Speaker 4: He said he didn't believe the attorney. He said, So Nick,
Speaker 4: the attorney was honest.
Speaker 9: I think she was. And I encouraged Nick to continue
Speaker 9: to follow up with the attorney because not only is
Speaker 9: she responds she needs to be responsive to his requests
Speaker 9: for documentation, but she's also his board's attorneys.
Speaker 5: So so and I don't think she will knowingly throw
Speaker 5: up a roadblock or lie about it.
Speaker 9: Oh, I have no doubt she would never do that. Ever, No,
Speaker 9: she would not do that. So Nick is pursuing that.
Speaker 9: To answer your question about the efforts to remove him
Speaker 9: from the board, he was recently elected and the entrenched
Speaker 9: board members, according to Nick, attempted to remove him for
Speaker 9: the board because of the discrepancy in his name and
Speaker 9: the real estate records. Apparently he uses his middle name
Speaker 9: in one place and no middle name in the other place.
Speaker 9: But apparently that effort failed. So he's now the vice
Speaker 9: president of the board. So he's in a good position.
Speaker 4: Okay, Then we have another case we're following, and this
Speaker 4: is really important, and that's Justin mister Garcia, sixty two
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. I say he stole it from a woman.
Speaker 4: It was supposed to be put in trust for the job.
Speaker 4: She wanted to cancel the job for various reasons. He
Speaker 4: doesn't he won't do the work, doesn't have the money.
Speaker 4: He's a crook. Justin Garcia. Justin Garcia is a crook. Okay,
Speaker 4: there's no other word for it. In my opinion, he's
Speaker 4: a scumbag. Piece of garbage. And Justin Garcia needs to
Speaker 4: be exposed and people, you can't do business with this man.
Speaker 4: And Justin said, he's coming after me, and I invite
Speaker 4: you to, Justin, I invite you to because I've done
Speaker 4: enough research on you that I'm convinced in my opinion
Speaker 4: that you're a crook. Now, Justin Garcia was with Patriot Building.
Speaker 4: He was with Patriot Remodeling Services. He also has a
Speaker 4: company called Innate. Innate Architecture, Engineering and Construction. In twenty
Speaker 4: twenty three, was contracted with this woman. She paid him
Speaker 4: sixty two grand up front. Right, so we have some
Speaker 4: movement in that case behind the scenes, right, various various officials.
Speaker 9: Right, law enforcement movement behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: Okay, and that man should be arrested. There's no doubt
Speaker 4: in my mind he should be arrested.
Speaker 6: Can you start his phone number?
Speaker 5: Yeah, let me get it. Yeah, we have it.
Speaker 6: I'm happy to give it out.
Speaker 5: Give it, give it out. Yeah, you're you were working
Speaker 5: the case. Go ahead, So.
Speaker 7: Justin Garcia, scumbag his phone number. I'd like people to
Speaker 7: call him.
Speaker 5: Yes, tell him, tell me. Here's what you tell him.
Speaker 5: Because these people in business bo I want to I
Speaker 5: want to say something. They spend a lot of.
Speaker 4: Time and energy getting people to do reviews online. So
Speaker 4: I'm saying, you're going to do reviews and let him
Speaker 4: know exactly what you think of him.
Speaker 5: And I want you to.
Speaker 4: I don't want you to be vulgar or threatening, but
Speaker 4: I want you to let him know because he shouldn't.
Speaker 5: Get away with it. Justin Garcia. And what's his phone on?
Speaker 7: His phone number is seven to one nine five seven
Speaker 7: to one oh four three seven. I want to repeat it,
Speaker 7: seven one nine five seven one oh four three seven.
Speaker 6: He's a thief. He needs to return that sixty two
Speaker 6: thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: He doesn't have it, I don't think probably.
Speaker 4: Not speaking of thieves, we have another guy named Josh
Speaker 4: sand of Aal.
Speaker 5: He's a roofer.
Speaker 4: Who's actually using the name of another roofer and another
Speaker 4: company and using their contracts to steal money. Josh Sandoval.
Speaker 4: Do we have a number for.
Speaker 5: Josh, Yes, I'm looking it up because it's good.
Speaker 4: And Sandoval he is basically taking money from people and
Speaker 4: not doing the roof and using somebody else's contract. You know,
Speaker 4: only in Colorado do people think they can get away
Speaker 4: with this stuff? Do you know that in Florida they
Speaker 4: charge because they charge contractors with fraud.
Speaker 5: And I want to tell you something very interesting.
Speaker 4: If you get felony fraud three times in Florida, it's
Speaker 4: life imprisonment. So these contractors are pretty damn afraid of
Speaker 4: doing this. In Colorado, we don't have a lot of
Speaker 4: punishment for anything. I swear to God, it's such a
Speaker 4: lawless land. What a piece of crap state. It turned
Speaker 4: out to be such a beautiful state, but a piece
Speaker 4: of crap state as soon as we got lopsided.
Speaker 5: Government and all crime was downgraded. All crime.
Speaker 4: You can steal cars, you can drive around without license
Speaker 4: plates or registrations.
Speaker 5: You can listen. I don't want to get into it.
Speaker 5: Contractors can lie and steal. Now, there are a few
Speaker 5: people who will take action, and we're in touch with them.
Speaker 7: Do you have his number, yes, josh Joshua A. Sandoval
Speaker 7: his phone number seven to zero three two zero eight
Speaker 7: three eight seven. I called him during the break and
Speaker 7: invited him to come on the air or to call
Speaker 7: me direct call give his side of the story. I
Speaker 7: know he's probably listening, so I'd like for our callers
Speaker 7: to call him seven to zero three two zero eight
Speaker 7: three eight. He took six thousand dollars from a lady
Speaker 7: for a down payment on a roof over a year ago,
Speaker 7: and it's not going to get done.
Speaker 5: He stole it, Yeah he did.
Speaker 4: He stole the money. Yeah anyway. Frank Duran in the

Speaker 4: with Remax Alliance three oh three nine two zero sixteen
Speaker 4: twenty two. Hi Tom Martino here three oh three seven
Speaker 4: one three Talks seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 5: So earlier in the show, we had a call from
Speaker 5: a doctor.
Speaker 4: Or someone claiming to be well. She is a doctor,
Speaker 4: and she claimed that she was discriminated against at a
Speaker 4: Wells Fargo because they wouldn't notarize something for her. To
Speaker 4: make a long story short, that was what it was.
Speaker 4: She said she felt it was because of her last name,
Speaker 4: her color, her heritage. So she finally got a taken
Speaker 4: care of at the main branch of Wells Fargo. But
Speaker 4: as a result of that discussion, we had a number
Speaker 4: of people who say that people liked to play the
Speaker 4: race card. We had other people who say that unless
Speaker 4: and I was one of them, Unless you're black, you
Speaker 4: don't really know how it feels, and you don't know
Speaker 4: that feeling of being discriminated against, so you wouldn't.
Speaker 5: Be able to pick up on it. Some people feel
Speaker 5: it's an excuse and people use it too much.
Speaker 4: Others feel there are some genuine cases and some exaggerations.
Speaker 4: So I got a text on my private Google phone
Speaker 4: seven four seven nine eighty. Trust me, Tomas, an African
Speaker 4: American male. I always give people the benefit of the doubt,
Speaker 4: but when it slaps you in the face, one has
Speaker 4: no choice.
Speaker 5: But to recognize it. That's what one person told me.
Speaker 4: And then when we were talking about it, the topic
Speaker 4: of Jesse Smollette came up because I said, false accusations
Speaker 4: often cast a shadow on genuine problems.
Speaker 5: When it comes to domestic violence, when it comes.
Speaker 4: To sexual assault, harassment, and hate crimes, and Jesse Smollett
Speaker 4: came up because he had been convicted of staging.
Speaker 5: A hate crime.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize this, but he actually still maintains his innocence.
Speaker 4: He says it was a real hate crime. Those guys
Speaker 4: just confess to it to get out of it, and
Speaker 4: that he truly was.
Speaker 5: Beat up. In all of that.
Speaker 4: He was convicted and sentenced to one hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: days in jail. He only served six days in jail
Speaker 4: and was released pending his appeal. Smollet's appeal was denied
Speaker 4: by the appellate court two to one, and they said
Speaker 4: he was required.
Speaker 5: To complete his one hundred and fifty day sentence.
Speaker 4: But then in March the Supreme Court announced it would
Speaker 4: hear the case, and I guess they just did hear
Speaker 4: it so that we didn't get a decision on it,
Speaker 4: but they did hear it. And basically he's saying that
Speaker 4: he's innocent, he was the victim of a hate crime.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize he was truly maintaining his innocence yet
Speaker 4: Wikipedia even.
Speaker 5: Calls it a hoax and supposedly he was beat up
Speaker 5: by two white guys with Maga hats or a Maga
Speaker 5: hat and it was all because of race. So that's
Speaker 5: where that stands.
Speaker 4: Because that came up now on some other cases that
Speaker 4: were working on, it's really important that you know that
Speaker 4: we're not going to let these go. And I'm going
Speaker 4: to be updating Sleasbrigade dot com and those will be
Speaker 4: updated to show the.
Speaker 5: New the new people.
Speaker 4: Anyway, we have a meeting with one law enforcement official
Speaker 4: who has a consumer protection unit and they say that
Speaker 4: they are going.
Speaker 5: To look into this. So we also have someone else
Speaker 5: with the police who are looking into it.
Speaker 4: So we're making progress with Justin Garcia, and you scumbag, Justin,
Speaker 4: you piece of garbage.
Speaker 5: You're not going to get away with it.
Speaker 4: For those who want to call him, I'd love to
Speaker 4: know if he's answering his phone. Seven nine five seven
Speaker 4: one zero four three seven. Here's what I want you
Speaker 4: to tell him. Don't be vulgar. I heard about you

Speaker 5: three two zero eighty three eighty seven, seven to zero

Speaker 4: three eight, two, five to five.
Speaker 5: Okay, do you guys remember the call that? And I'm
Speaker 5: going to show a video, So if you're anywhere near
Speaker 5: you two tube or you can tune into the Troubleshooter
Speaker 5: Network YouTube video later and then mark it for the
Speaker 5: fourth hour of the show. But here's what happened. He said.
Speaker 5: He went to a parking lot.
Speaker 4: He went to a restaurant and was billed for parking,
Speaker 4: and it was a penalty like eighty something bucks, And
Speaker 4: he says he never knew he had to pay to
Speaker 4: be there. Now, I've been to by the Way parking
Speaker 4: lots before for restaurants and stores or plazas where there's
Speaker 4: a sign up on the telephone pole with a QR
Speaker 4: code that you scan and pay for parking in that lot.
Speaker 5: I have been to those, and I've seen them before.
Speaker 5: But he was particularly upset because he said, in this case,
Speaker 5: the writing was so tiny and so small.
Speaker 4: You couldn't even see it. You couldn't even see it,
Speaker 4: he said, didn't he say a half inch? I think
Speaker 4: he said it was a half inch, which is ridiculous, right,
Speaker 4: And I said, I got to see video of this.
Speaker 4: So he went out and got video of it, and
Speaker 4: he sent me the video and I'm gonna play it
Speaker 4: right now, and basically, I want to make sure you
Speaker 4: know you guys see it because for those on YouTube,
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna be by the way streaming on other
Speaker 4: platforms again, I just how did you get up and
Speaker 4: running on YouTube when we did our new technology. But anyway,
Speaker 4: I'm going to right now play it, and I want
Speaker 4: you to weigh in on it, on what you think
Speaker 4: about the video and if it's unfair this sign. Okay, Now,
Speaker 4: if it was me, I'm gonna tell you what I
Speaker 4: would do. I would definitely I think I would definitely
Speaker 4: look at that sign. Even though the lettering was small.
Speaker 4: It was read lettering on a big white sign. The
Speaker 4: sign wasn't small, just the lettering, so I think I
Speaker 4: would have really taken the.
Speaker 5: Time to look at it. So I if you so. So,
Speaker 5: here's what I want you to see first before I
Speaker 5: start playing it. Well, there it is. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 5: gonna see if I can. Yeah, So there's the video
Speaker 5: right there.
Speaker 4: Now to see the sign that that is pretty small print,
Speaker 4: but it's a there are two big red signs for
Speaker 4: QR codes and if you go up, you go up
Speaker 4: that it is pretty tiny print.
Speaker 5: I'll get you. It's pretty even measured it. He's right,
Speaker 5: it's a half an inch half an inch writing. He
Speaker 5: has a ruler right there. So I'm gonna play it again,
Speaker 5: but I want you to look and tell me what
Speaker 5: you think of this. Now, while the lettering is small,
Speaker 5: the sign is big. If that makes sense. So if
Speaker 5: you pull into a parking lot and you see a
Speaker 5: big red sign, would you go over and look at it? Now,
Speaker 5: there is no towing notice that I can see, but
Speaker 5: I do see this big red sign. But again, if
Speaker 5: you look at it, the writing is very very small.
Speaker 5: You'd have to walk right up to it. And that's
Speaker 5: where you'll see the instructions for parking and it says,
Speaker 5: you know, you have to pay, scan this code and pay.
Speaker 5: This is a private lot. Blah blah blah. I think
Speaker 5: it's a little weird to me. That's what I think.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 5: I don't know if they have someone patrolling there, but
Speaker 5: that's the case.
Speaker 4: And again, I'm going to play it again, but i'd
Speaker 4: like your thoughts on it. I'd like your thoughts on it.
Speaker 4: Tell me what you're thinking about that sign. Three zero
Speaker 4: three seven one three talk seven one three eight two
Speaker 4: five five. Did you look at it, Dimitri? Did you
Speaker 4: look at it on the YouTube?
Speaker 9: It's it's not it was, oh there it is.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Hey, I just want to know.
Speaker 6: Is a parking lot for a specific restaurant.
Speaker 5: Not one, It's a restaurant for a number of businesses
Speaker 5: in that plaza.
Speaker 16: Well, you know, do they have a verification where you know,
Speaker 16: you get your ticket stamped or something.
Speaker 5: No, no, then everyone pays.
Speaker 21: I would argue that it should say somewhere on there
Speaker 21: in relatively large letters that say pay here for this
Speaker 21: parking lot, or this is how you pay or.
Speaker 5: Oh and by the way, I was wrong when I
Speaker 5: said there's no towing warnings. They didn't tow. They don't tow.
Speaker 5: They bill you. So there's a penalty.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they mailed them a ticket for eighty two dollars.
Speaker 21: But it's on the massive sign. It's like three signs
Speaker 21: put together.
Speaker 5: It is a massive sign.
Speaker 4: So I want to ask you, somebody, Dragon, if you
Speaker 4: drove into that parking lot, and again, I'm gonna play
Speaker 4: it one more time while we're talking about it, So.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna rack it up. There we go. Now,
Speaker 5: I would look at that sign if I pulled into
Speaker 5: a parking lot. I think I will.
Speaker 4: Although the lettering is really small, the QR codes are
Speaker 4: a pretty good size. And besides, nowadays, I'm kind of
Speaker 4: used to I don't want to be told. I mean,
Speaker 4: I really want to be close. But you think, Dragon,
Speaker 4: would you look at that sign if you pulled into
Speaker 4: that parking.
Speaker 21: Just somewhere we're a parking lot where you would normally
Speaker 21: pay in for that area.
Speaker 5: So that's hard to say, because you know, the one
Speaker 5: I went to.
Speaker 4: The one I went to had a sign just like this,
Speaker 4: just like it, maybe the same people, And it wasn't
Speaker 4: this parking lot, but it was behind you know how
Speaker 4: they have heart parking behind buildings down the alley.
Speaker 5: It was one. It was a big parking lot behind
Speaker 5: a number of businesses, and that sign.
Speaker 4: Was up there on the telephone pole and it said
Speaker 4: to park in this lot, you must pay, and then
Speaker 4: it had that. So I'm really interested in what my
Speaker 4: YouTube morons think once they've seen this.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 6: I would have to go back to that restaurant again.
Speaker 5: Well well yeah, I mean it look at I think
Speaker 5: it's weird. It is, but I don't know.
Speaker 9: Well, there's probably a time limit on this sign. And
Speaker 9: the callers said he was in that restaurant for three
Speaker 9: hours talking with his friend.
Speaker 21: It should say pay for parking or something along those
Speaker 21: kind of lines at the top of the sign in
Speaker 21: relatively large letters. Everything else can be small and dinky.
Speaker 21: That's no problem, but it's still a massive sign.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, So that's that. Now back on the
Speaker 4: Jussy Smollett thing, I got it. I just got a
Speaker 4: text that saying Tom, you know, you forget that. You know,
Speaker 4: he's maintaining in his innocence right, saying I didn't make
Speaker 4: it up, it was a real hate crime. But what
Speaker 4: this one texture points out is that Tom, he said
Speaker 4: it was two white guys who beat him up, but
Speaker 4: there were actually two black guys.
Speaker 5: Who admitted to it something rightyeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, two from the guys from Haiti or something. They
Speaker 4: were dark black guys, and he had said there were
Speaker 4: two white guys that beat them up. So even if
Speaker 4: it was a real hate crime, he reported it wrongly. Anyway,
Speaker 4: he said it was two white guys, one wearing a
Speaker 4: Maga hat. And if these two guys confess to it,
Speaker 4: they're two black guys. So I don't understand. So how
Speaker 4: the hell he can maintain his innocence I have no idea.
Speaker 4: Now here's another text. Warn your listeners about a fake
Speaker 4: email appearing to be from Infinity and they say the
Speaker 4: payment they have has to be updated, and then they
Speaker 4: give you the link.
Speaker 5: Just beware people of links. If you get an email
Speaker 5: from any of your vendors anyone, I don't care who
Speaker 5: it is, anyone, Comcast or Exfinity, right Verizon, Century Link,
Speaker 5: your power company, anyone.
Speaker 4: Don't click the link in that email. You're not sophisticated
Speaker 4: enough to know if you're in the right link or not.
Speaker 4: So what you would do is if someone, for example,
Speaker 4: let's say you're Chase Bank or someone at Century Link,
Speaker 4: if they say you owe money, don't.
Speaker 5: Click the link. Go to your online portal, go in
Speaker 5: and then pay it if you owe it there right
Speaker 5: or update your payment information. Do not do it from
Speaker 5: a link in an email, because there is no way
Speaker 5: to know if it's genuine or not. Three oh three,

Speaker 5: One three talks seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 5: So what did my YouTube morons think of all of that?
Speaker 5: That's what I want to know. What do you think
Speaker 5: of that sign, Dimitri? What do you think?
Speaker 9: By the way, Well, I think, and I've seen signs
Speaker 9: like similar to this at places where I shop. They
Speaker 9: generally specify a maximum free parking period, and usually it's
Speaker 9: an hour, sometimes two hours. The gentleman who called said
Speaker 9: that he was in that restaurant for three hours, so
Speaker 9: I have a feeling that he got a parking ticket
Speaker 9: mailed to him because he exceeded the free parking period.
Speaker 5: Okay, so what do you think about the size of
Speaker 5: the sign and the all of that? What do you
Speaker 5: think about that?
Speaker 9: Well, if I saw a ginormous red sign on a
Speaker 9: parking lot, I would actually walk over and read what
Speaker 9: it says, because I don't want to get towed or ticketed.
Speaker 5: And Dragon you said basically the same thing, right.
Speaker 21: Pretty much. I mean it should say you know, parking
Speaker 21: rules or enforcement rules, or lot fees or something like that.
Speaker 21: Very large on the top, but it doesn't. It doesn't
Speaker 21: have to. It's still large enough for you to go huh.
Speaker 4: I wonder what this is This one guy on YouTube
Speaker 4: or one guy as Mr says, how can anyone in
Speaker 4: a car be expected to read the signs should have
Speaker 4: bigger lettering saying this lot does not offer free park
Speaker 4: You know what, I think that's reasonable.
Speaker 5: Well, I think if this guy goes to court.
Speaker 4: He might have a good he might have a good section.
Speaker 4: It says the sign does not follow the UH some
Speaker 4: kind of standard.
Speaker 5: If permitting parking, it must be white with green letter
Speaker 5: I don't know about that. I mean, I know this
Speaker 5: for towing, it has to have certain standards. But in
Speaker 5: any case, I don't think it's a good sign in
Speaker 5: my opinion, I just don't think it is. And anyway,
Speaker 5: so we also have hold on something else I wanted
Speaker 5: to talk about. On a text here.
Speaker 4: People reacted to that Justy Smollett. They said it was
Speaker 4: definitely fraud. Definitely this guy.
Speaker 5: Made it up. He said they were white guys with
Speaker 5: MAGA hats. They were black guys. There is no way
Speaker 5: in hell this guy could have ever claimed that he
Speaker 5: it was a real crime and he didn't stage it.
Speaker 5: Even those guys admitted they were paid for it. There's
Speaker 5: video of them getting the rope, buying the rope and
Speaker 5: all of that, so they they they're they're calling BS
Speaker 5: on that. Well, I'm not going to give out my
Speaker 5: number now because the show's almost over, but I do
Speaker 5: want to tell you that if you call three oh
Speaker 5: three Martino, we're not done yet. But if you call
Speaker 5: three oh three Martino three.
Speaker 4: Oh three, six, two seven, eight, four sixty six, we
Speaker 4: will definitely, definitely be around to get your call, even
Speaker 4: if we're not there.
Speaker 5: When you leave the message. And also you can reach
Speaker 5: out on all of the social media and leave a
Speaker 5: number and we will get back to you or leave
Speaker 5: us your problem. You can private message us. By the way.
Speaker 5: There's one other thing that I saw in the news
Speaker 5: that I want to bring out. I never thought of this,
Speaker 5: but apparently printed sales receipts at a store. There are
Speaker 5: different kinds, but very few of them use regular ink. Now,
Speaker 5: I know you're gonna think I'm crazy, but many of
Speaker 5: them now use a substance that a thermal paper that
Speaker 5: uses heat to print characters. And they say if you
Speaker 5: touch these and then you bite your nails or you
Speaker 5: touch your skin, it can be absorbed and they are
Speaker 5: toxic chemicals and they can enter your bloodstream and interfere
Speaker 5: with your hormones, causing issues with fertility, reproduction, and development.
Speaker 5: And if you think this is fear mongering, it is not.
Speaker 5: They have traced this substance to people and have found
Speaker 5: unusual amounts. Now, obviously you're not going to probably get
Speaker 5: a problem touching one sales receipt, but apparently people who
Speaker 5: work around these receipts and they go through them and
Speaker 5: they're fingering them and thumbing them, you know, and you'll
Speaker 5: get that substance into your bloodstream and it will have
Speaker 5: problems health problems. In fact, one doctor said that the
Speaker 5: dangers of these receipts shows eighty percent of them are
Speaker 5: harmful to your health. As to the volume of receipts
Speaker 5: you need to be dangerous, they don't have an actual volume.
Speaker 5: But Snopes, if you agree with Snopes or not, do
Speaker 5: the Snopes did a story do grocery store receipts contain
Speaker 5: chemicals linked to cancer and infertility? And they say it
Speaker 5: is absolutely true? Avoid them? So how about that? I'm
Speaker 5: Tom Martino. Don't forget three oh three.

Speaker 4: will get back to you. Kachina Calori promises three O
Speaker 4: three six two seven eight four sixty six. Don't forget
