Speaker 2: Come Man Dix is the Troubleshooter Show.
Speaker 3: No Tom Martine, Hey, hey, hey Tom Martino here solving problems,
Speaker 3: answering questions, taking flanks, making your life a little easier.
Speaker 3: If you're streaming, you'll see on the wide shot here
Speaker 3: I Nick Fox with me from renew Home Innovations. We're
Speaker 3: gonna be talking to Nick in a minute. We're also
Speaker 3: gonna talk anything to do with your house and home
Speaker 3: coming up for springtime. Nick's quite a handy man. Any
Speaker 3: any questions on the house, you have anything, and we
Speaker 3: can get our experts or answer them. But there are
Speaker 3: a lot of people right now venturing outside. They actually
Speaker 3: sit out there in the evening. Some people are doing
Speaker 3: cook house already. Now winter's not over. We know how
Speaker 3: it works when summer, winter, spring, winter, spring, spring, fall, winter, winter, spring, summer,
Speaker 3: and then we get to summer. So we will get there.
Speaker 3: But there might be projects you want to do around
Speaker 3: your house, and so many people turn to this time
Speaker 3: of year to do that. Three O three seven one
Speaker 3: three eight two five five. Although I'd venture to say
Speaker 3: there are when do you get the best deals that
Speaker 3: it's certain things. I'd venture to say that even though
Speaker 3: people say always buy against the demand, that you wouldn't
Speaker 3: have great deals in the winter for air conditioning. Now,
Speaker 3: I know you would think, well, that's a great time,
Speaker 3: they're not working, but it's also an off time for
Speaker 3: the manufacturers and distributors. And I'll bet you nick that
Speaker 3: if you went to buy an air conditioner, try to
Speaker 3: make a screaming deal in the middle of winter, it
Speaker 3: wouldn't be best. It wouldn't be a good time to buy.
Speaker 3: Do you think it would be ye? Well, well, certainly
Speaker 3: if if I went to a guy. Though now listen
Speaker 3: now to look carefully, they're really busy with furnaces. It's
Speaker 3: the middle of winter, and I want to buy an AC.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, I don't know. I'm thinking it's a diversion,
Speaker 3: and it may not be. I think just when it
Speaker 3: is cool, or just when it's starting to get warmer,
Speaker 3: or just right now. Maybe for AC right now. But
Speaker 3: do you think in the middle of winter it would
Speaker 3: be a good time.
Speaker 4: The only reason I would say it would be a
Speaker 4: good time is because people it's not in their it's
Speaker 4: not in their their frame of mind, they're not thinking
Speaker 4: about it, and so companies are probably going to try
Speaker 4: to move their productor or at least use it as
Speaker 4: an incentive to sell the product that they want to
Speaker 4: sell them like the first.
Speaker 3: Do you think, but don't you think? Sometimes like there
Speaker 3: are more incentives when the seasons are with us, right,
Speaker 3: more AC incentives during hot weather, more furnace in some
Speaker 3: Now I'm not necessarying you wait to the peak of
Speaker 3: heat and buy air conditioning, don't do it, or the
Speaker 3: peak of the cold to buy a furnace. You buy
Speaker 3: an off seasons, but not necessarily in the middle of
Speaker 3: one hot season. What I mean is this, if you
Speaker 3: have a deep freeze and furnace, people are going out
Speaker 3: the out their noseworking. It's a distraction to do AC.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't even do it, and the priceis would be outrageous.
Speaker 3: So I would say avoid the peaks of each season
Speaker 3: to buy anything, and then do the shoulder seasons where
Speaker 3: it's not too hot or not too cold for all
Speaker 3: of the rest. Now, when it comes from remodeling, I've
Speaker 3: always tried to track my people on the list, and
Speaker 3: you certainly have been with me a long time. Renew
Speaker 3: Home Innovations dot Com. When it comes to remodeling, what
Speaker 3: you do bathrooms? Is there a busy season or not?
Speaker 3: You know, we're kind of in our busy season right now.
Speaker 3: What makes it busy? I think people are wanting to
Speaker 3: refresh in their home.
Speaker 4: So after the first you get busy, right. It's really interesting.
Speaker 4: We have really two seasons. September through November time frame
Speaker 4: is for the holidays, Yeah, for the holidays. Okay, So
Speaker 4: you have the pre holiday season and the pre summer, yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: And then the is it dead during the summer it
Speaker 3: gets slower? Is that when they can get a good
Speaker 3: deal from you, a great deal.
Speaker 4: We do have some pretty good incentives to buy during
Speaker 4: that time frame because you know, obviously when you have
Speaker 4: more demand, you know, you don't have to affect Yeah,
Speaker 4: and you have.
Speaker 3: To keep your promise. You do things for two three days,
Speaker 3: not two or three months. Absolutely, and that's one thing
Speaker 3: people like. Okay, So I want to ask you this
Speaker 3: because this is the this is the poor topic when
Speaker 3: it comes to all of your businesses, whether it's heating
Speaker 3: and err or everything. Financing people a lot of them
Speaker 3: need financing.
Speaker 4: Nick I would say seventy five percent of the agreements
Speaker 4: that we have with consumers are finest.
Speaker 3: Now do you find the financing? Yeah, we provide the
Speaker 3: financing form. You do tell me the numbers. Can you
Speaker 3: tell me some numbers or not? In reference to financing?
Speaker 3: What are you doing for people? Now? Then they have
Speaker 3: to is it a second is it a line of credit?
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 4: It's it's stage funny, So it's it's it's very much
Speaker 4: like going to Best Buy in Okay.
Speaker 3: So there's no security, there's no there's no real real problems.
Speaker 3: It's name okay, And so what what do you get
Speaker 3: any period of time with no interests like you used
Speaker 3: to do?
Speaker 4: That is I mean, I would say probably eighty five
Speaker 4: percent of our customers take advantage of the twelve months
Speaker 4: no no payments, no interest.
Speaker 3: And you had even you had an insane deal at
Speaker 3: one time, right for no interest.
Speaker 4: And we still we still offer some pretty incredible financing programs.
Speaker 4: It does seem like most people just want time to
Speaker 4: get it through the completion of the project.
Speaker 3: So the twelve months no no seems to be the
Speaker 3: most attractive twelve months no interest Okay, yeah, all right,
Speaker 3: and that's renew Home innovations when he's not here. Three
Speaker 3: oh three nine zero four two thousand. Robert has a
Speaker 3: question on the I seventy toll road. Hey, Robert, welcome
Speaker 3: to the show. What's going on? Tom?
Speaker 5: I was driving Westune I seventy to a hospital on
Speaker 5: the western slope, and the tolling is closed on weekdays.
Speaker 5: It's only open on weekday weekends, will like Friday, Saturday,
Speaker 5: Sunday for the ski traffic.
Speaker 3: Yeah? Certain, Do you mean the do you mean the
Speaker 3: real fast lane? Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, the tolling the express lane westbound about the twin tells,
Speaker 5: I'm just currious. Why don't they leave it open all
Speaker 5: the time? Why do they only have it open on Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 6: Sunday not all the time?
Speaker 3: If anybody? That is a damn good question. I don't
Speaker 3: know why. I don't know why we can find out.
Speaker 3: Is this like under the auspices of Is this under
Speaker 3: the auspices of four seventy four seventy?
Speaker 5: Yes, since I think it's the same company as Express
Speaker 5: Hole E four seventy and the other express hole lanes.
Speaker 5: And I'm just curious that they have to pay more
Speaker 5: insurance when it's opened, and then.
Speaker 7: If it doesn't get enough try.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not like they're using it for anything else, right, correct,
Speaker 3: I'm just Mark, Do you have any ideas? I was wondering?
Speaker 3: Is Mark signed on? I didn't hear. We don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm just okay, Well, I just wondered. We're gonna find
Speaker 3: out any ideas? Nick, I don't. I've often wondered the
Speaker 3: same thing. I know, this is crazy. You know what
Speaker 3: we're gonna call them.
Speaker 5: I was permitted to use it because I was driving
Speaker 5: an emergency vehicle using lights and sirens. I thought, well,
Speaker 5: why I can use it?
Speaker 7: Why can't other people?
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. When
Speaker 3: it was closed? What do you mean it was closed?
Speaker 3: The gates were up.
Speaker 8: Drawn right, No, there are no gates on that.
Speaker 3: Then why didn't you just okay? Then why can't people
Speaker 3: use it? Who says this closed?
Speaker 5: Well, the big red.
Speaker 8: Action says this closed and stuffing like that.
Speaker 5: Okay, so there's no actual barrier. Now I have permission
Speaker 5: to use it when I'm taking something lights and sirens westbound,
Speaker 5: like to a hospital in the Grand Junction or wherever,
Speaker 5: and I did just a couple of days ago. But
Speaker 5: I'm just curious why they don't have it open all
Speaker 5: the time. It was nice because I got to go
Speaker 5: through expeditiously without having to compel people in the sunning
Speaker 5: Number one of the regular eye Sevin did have to
Speaker 5: move out of the way, so worked out very well.
Speaker 8: I'm just curious why it's not open all.
Speaker 3: The time, you know what, that's a good point. I
Speaker 3: I can't tell you the answer to that, but but
Speaker 3: I I do thank you. You know we're gonna find
Speaker 3: out for you for damn sure. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 3: that's a good question. Why is it like that?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 3: Have you tried calling him?
Speaker 6: Have you?
Speaker 3: You have never tried calling him and asking I.
Speaker 5: Did, and the girl was not able to answer. She's
Speaker 5: the girl with whom I spoke just kept repeating.
Speaker 9: The same thing.
Speaker 5: It's open on weekends and holidays, the close weekdays. And
Speaker 5: I know that I'm asking why and she couldn't answer.
Speaker 3: So well, Tony, Tony, you have a comment. What's your comment? Tony?
Speaker 10: I guess, but I think it might be related to
Speaker 10: the Floyd Hill construction project and the fact that the
Speaker 10: toll lane starts there and Monday to Thursday. They've got
Speaker 10: too much construction going on. Uh, and they want to
Speaker 10: keep it closed for construction access.
Speaker 3: That's just a guess, okay, just practical stuff, Hey, Kachina,
Speaker 3: See if we can get somebody from four to seventy
Speaker 3: to answer the question why is express toll lane closed
Speaker 3: at certain times? I mean, and is it consistently closed
Speaker 3: when you drive there?
Speaker 5: Robert, whenever I'm driving there is often closed, but the
Speaker 5: it's after the check and.
Speaker 3: When is it? What is that? Is it a certain day,
Speaker 3: a certain time, certain day or certain time?
Speaker 5: Anytime it's a weekday, it's closed. I've noticed that I
Speaker 5: can go there any time, day or night. It's closed
Speaker 5: on weekdays but open on the ski traffic on weekends.
Speaker 5: And I'm just curiously, okay if it's an insurance issue,
Speaker 5: because yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: Okay, I always thought it was closed to you could
Speaker 3: just drive it. But I know nothing about this. I
Speaker 3: don't drive them that much anymore. But we're gonna find out.
Speaker 3: We're calling them and we're going to ask them about it.
Speaker 3: Three oh three seven one three eight two five five
Speaker 3: Did I take Tony? Did? Is he the one that
Speaker 3: had the comment correct the common sense comment? If so,

Speaker 3: They're really nice people. Hey, Tom Martino, you're a troubleshooter.
Speaker 3: So Nick over here also was telling me on E
Speaker 3: four seventy now and on those other things. Man, he's
Speaker 3: getting tired of that, but he's getting tickets for laying changes. Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, even if you barely, you know, your tire barely
Speaker 4: goes over that white line, you can get a take.
Speaker 3: Why do they do that, Shannon? Is that to keep
Speaker 3: you from going in and out of the express lane
Speaker 3: and being charged? Is that why they're doing that? I
Speaker 3: think it is because they are I think maybe I
Speaker 3: was asking dragon. He was a hip on it. You
Speaker 3: never drive out there, do you? Shannon? On toll roads?
Speaker 3: I don't think. Actually, they don't let horse they don't
Speaker 3: let horsen. He's actually on another line, but I can
Speaker 3: tell you that I think it's a money grub. Hey,
Speaker 3: it kind of is, but I don't know it is
Speaker 3: it is, but maybe they say this will keep people
Speaker 3: from using from misusing the speed lane. Hey, Will, no way,
Speaker 3: Let's go to Ronnie or should I know? Let's say
Speaker 3: on comment of four seventy right now? I'm sorry, so
Speaker 3: are Will and Dean? Two new comments on four seventy?
Speaker 8: They are?
Speaker 3: Okay, Will? What do you have to say about four
Speaker 3: seventy and the tolls? Or I say, or wherever they
Speaker 3: have them? I can hear him in the background. Is
Speaker 3: he not up? Will? I guess we got to go
Speaker 3: on to someone else? I'm sorry? Will, Dean? Go ahead? Dean?
Speaker 9: All right?
Speaker 2: We got well, we got Will?
Speaker 3: Okay, we got Will? Okay? Will we not hold on?
Speaker 3: Sorry about that? He okay? Okay? Who's on first? Dean
Speaker 3: is on three, so he also has a coffee. Dean
Speaker 3: on three? Hello Dean? What's your name? Who?
Speaker 9: Who?
Speaker 3: What's your name. What okay, go.
Speaker 8: Ahead, Yes, Tom, This is Dean.
Speaker 11: So I happen to live up in the mountains and
Speaker 11: it's on I seventy that I believe the initial topic
Speaker 11: was talking about not being allowed to.
Speaker 8: Drive in the express lane during the week Yeah, and
Speaker 8: I believe it.
Speaker 11: Why I believe it, actually, I believe it actually has
Speaker 11: to do it's the construction of the highway. The express
Speaker 11: lane is considered a shoulder and it's not designed for
Speaker 11: consistent use throughout the year. So they utilize it now
Speaker 11: and then on the weekend for the ski traffic, but
Speaker 11: during the regular week they want to keep the traffic
Speaker 11: off of it because it is actually considered a shoulder
Speaker 11: that they've turned into an express lane.
Speaker 3: That makes sense to me. So it's really, in other words,
Speaker 3: instead of looking at it that the toll lanes are
Speaker 3: shut down on the weekends, what they're saying is they're
Speaker 3: opening up the shoulders on weekend, excuse me, on weekends,
Speaker 3: and that those are those are not closed on weekdays.
Speaker 3: They're just normal. They're a normal shoulder.
Speaker 11: Correct, Correct, it's just a normal shoulder. In the event
Speaker 11: you have to pull off because you have a fat
Speaker 11: tire vehicle, now function. It's designed for that. It's not
Speaker 11: designed for consistent road use where people are driving on
Speaker 11: it got back and forth consistently.
Speaker 3: I love it. I've always said I have smart I
Speaker 3: have smart callers. I'll tell you that. Bob has a
Speaker 3: comment on lane change tickets.
Speaker 6: Bob, Hey, Tom, I'll tell you why. Yes, they're making money,
Speaker 6: but the whole purpose, and my wife works with them
Speaker 6: as their own profit, is because of the amount of
Speaker 6: accidents they happen when people jump in and out of
Speaker 6: that lane and normal people are staying in it doing
Speaker 6: the street limit. People are weaving it out of it.
Speaker 6: It's worse on seventy. But that's why they put that actor,
Speaker 6: because there's been too many accents and people just jumping
Speaker 6: over there when cars are doing the normal speed back
Speaker 6: and forth.
Speaker 12: That's what they initially put that in the board. Yes,
Speaker 12: they made money, but that's why they did it. We
Speaker 12: got that right from seat and newsletters.
Speaker 6: Really, so they just talk I'm going down there, I'm
Speaker 6: going down there the fast light or that whatever you
Speaker 6: call it, it's something lane and I can tell you
Speaker 6: at least twenty times if it's happened once, somebody will
Speaker 6: be in that fast lighting and they'll just jump over
Speaker 6: right in front of them, and people have been getting hit.
Speaker 6: We're in getting a hit because of people doing that,
Speaker 6: so they're trying to run slow down.
Speaker 12: The steed l another two ten people from doing that
Speaker 12: to one an accidents that if that happened.
Speaker 3: Okay, Bob, how you are Bob on my referral list
Speaker 3: from l em Landscaping. While I have you on the phone,
Speaker 3: are people starting to ramp up? And are you starting

Speaker 3: And they Okay, I got a few questions for you.
Speaker 3: I know where Hey, hey Ronnie, I know where you're
Speaker 3: going with this. I got to ask a few questions.
Speaker 3: Why did Tesla? Why was Tesla called there.
Speaker 9: To replaced?
Speaker 3: Was this a normal was this a normal repairing maintenance?
Speaker 3: Was it under warranty or did you just pay to
Speaker 3: have them replaced?
Speaker 9: It was maintenance, but I still I had to pay
Speaker 9: like seven hundred dollars to have it replaced.
Speaker 3: But are you leasing the system from Tesla right now?
Speaker 6: There? Now?
Speaker 9: I'm I'm not leasing it.
Speaker 3: It's a loan, okay, So you're buying it. And as
Speaker 3: part of it though, it's under warranty. So Tesla took
Speaker 3: care of some of it under warranty, and some of
Speaker 3: it you had to pay. I got it. So Tesla
Speaker 3: replaced how many panels? What one panel? And you said
Speaker 3: they did something wrong? What did they do wrong?
Speaker 9: They damaged my roof? They put holes in.
Speaker 3: My room now okay, and they damaged it. And how
Speaker 3: much is it going to cost to fix?

Speaker 3: Major Mark Major is with us, by the way, He's
Speaker 3: just on the other line on the phone, and we
Speaker 3: have this very weird situation. I want to ask Brooke
Speaker 3: about and then I want to ask our insurance people. Now,
Speaker 3: first I'm going to ask the insurance people. Brian Burns
Speaker 3: Compass Insurance Group. Remember home of the free insurance checkup
Speaker 3: always and it's always good to do that. Three h
Speaker 3: three nine nine x nine thousand, nine nine six nine thousand. Okay, So, Brian,
Speaker 3: if I had a solar system and one of the
Speaker 3: panels went bad and the solar company replaced it and
Speaker 3: in doing so damaged my roof, and they're fighting with
Speaker 3: me about it. But I have legit estimates that there
Speaker 3: was twelve thousand dollars in damage. If that's true, If
Speaker 3: everything I'm saying is true, would Homeowner's insurance cover Ronnie
Speaker 3: for that incompetent repair person.
Speaker 8: No, No, that would not be a covered peril because
Speaker 8: that would be why Brian, why, Well, because it has
Speaker 8: to be one of the perils of the policy, which
Speaker 8: is going to be something like a kale, some kind
Speaker 8: of storm that's called damage. Not a contractor up there
Speaker 8: walking around or someone.
Speaker 3: What if a vandal? What if a vandal? Okay, but
Speaker 3: vandalism would be covered, right.
Speaker 8: Yep, vandalism could be covered. Yep, that is true. Yep,
Speaker 8: but that's not vandalism obviously that would be just.
Speaker 3: No, no, I get you. But it won't cover the
Speaker 3: incompetence of a worker.
Speaker 8: No, no, you would have to rely on the workers insurance.
Speaker 8: They should have general liability that would cover them with us.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's ask about that, Ronnie. Did you ask
Speaker 3: about their insurance? Who are you dealing with? Who are
Speaker 3: you dealing with? Was it actually Tesla that did it?
Speaker 14: Yes?
Speaker 15: What?
Speaker 3: What? Who was the subcontractor? Are you talking to somebody
Speaker 3: that I should just talk to directly because this relay
Speaker 3: stuff is not working. Put them on hold, lot, Ronnie.
Speaker 3: Let's see, I'd like to get an expert on about Oh,
Speaker 3: there's Brook right now. Thank you, Brian Burns, home of
Speaker 3: the Insurance check Up the Insurance Health Center dot com. Now, Brooke,
Speaker 3: you heard the situation? What's up? He had to pay
Speaker 3: seven hundred dollars to Tesla? It was under warranty, but
Speaker 3: he had to pay seven hundred I don't know why,
Speaker 3: and they did damage to the roof. How is Tesla
Speaker 3: to deal.
Speaker 15: With as far as like any warranty claims or just
Speaker 15: dealing with them on issues that they have on their end.
Speaker 15: They're pretty difficult to work with because they're so big.
Speaker 15: They're almost like working with like a Walmart or somebody
Speaker 15: that's of that size. Were you usually on hold for
Speaker 15: about four to five hours to get a hold of
Speaker 15: somebody transfer this?
Speaker 3: Oh oh my god? But what wow?
Speaker 15: Once that happens, it's pretty quick. So once you finally
Speaker 15: get through kind of the logistics, they usually send out
Speaker 15: the new parts pretty immediately, so you would have them
Speaker 15: within a week.
Speaker 3: Okay, but what about damages? Damages that's a different thing.
Speaker 3: It's money. Have you ever dealt with Tesla? Where they
Speaker 3: they Where? Do they have actual installation crews because he's
Speaker 3: saying it's one of their installation crews or do they
Speaker 3: sub out?
Speaker 7: They do both.
Speaker 15: They have their own installation crews here in Colorado, but
Speaker 15: then there's also certified Tesla installers like myself who can
Speaker 15: do the work. So it just depends on exactly who
Speaker 15: went out there.
Speaker 8: And what that looks like, because both would be I.
Speaker 3: Want to ask you somebody broke. Do you know are
Speaker 3: you on a speaking terms with any of your managers
Speaker 3: in Tesla?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 3: Could you ask them as a favor say this that
Speaker 3: you know somebody called and has a Tesla system and
Speaker 3: there's no problem with the system. But recently when they
Speaker 3: replaced a panel, they roof damage and they're just not
Speaker 3: They're not sending out anyone or did they send someone out,
Speaker 3: Ronnie to look at it?
Speaker 9: I sent uh moving companies out to give that the
Speaker 9: mints and pictures.
Speaker 3: But no, I'm asking you. I'm asking you a simple question.
Speaker 3: Did did they send someone out? No, sir, then where
Speaker 3: did they come up with the three thousand dollars.
Speaker 9: They sell?
Speaker 3: Okay? Can I ask you something out of just total curiosity.
Speaker 3: The brains of the operation is not on the phone,
Speaker 3: So why don't you put the brains of the operation
Speaker 3: on the phone and then we don't have to do
Speaker 3: this relay? Hey, Hey, you in the background. I don't
Speaker 3: know who you are? Is she or is it your wife? Ronnie?
Speaker 9: No, I'm gonna work.
Speaker 3: Oh oh oh, I'm sorry, I might be confusing. Is
Speaker 3: someone giving you the answers to give to me or
Speaker 3: are you doing it on your own? Oh?
Speaker 9: My own, I'm at work, that's the television.
Speaker 3: Then I apologize. I apologize, Ronnie. I thought your wife
Speaker 3: was in the background giving you the what's up? But
Speaker 3: it's okay. You know what, Ronnie, we are going to
Speaker 3: get We are going to get you some action. Brooke.
Speaker 3: Could you kindly maybe ask someone to look into this problem?
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, that's not a problem.
Speaker 6: I guess.
Speaker 15: My first question before we go down this road road though,
Speaker 15: is are there photos of the roof prior to the
Speaker 15: fix or the warranty claim on the back panel available?
Speaker 15: How are they saying that it's that it's Tesla that
Speaker 15: damaged it or whoever came out to fix right right?
Speaker 3: What kind of proof do you have.
Speaker 9: Before they went out? My company that I had just
Speaker 9: got to hold up the the homeowners insurance, hippo insurance,
Speaker 9: which I don't have hippo insurance right.
Speaker 3: Now, I have, Ronnie, get to the point, brother, All
Speaker 3: we need to know is do you have any condition
Speaker 3: reports before this happened?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Because the insurance company, the homeowner's insurance, and he
Speaker 9: didn't have no claim, no nothing.
Speaker 15: Yeah, So it's not necessarily the claim. It's just to
Speaker 15: make sure it's going through. Tom. I can definitely reach
Speaker 15: out to the folks at Tesla. If it was a sub,
Speaker 15: we're required to help uphold a certain standard, so Tesla
Speaker 15: will put pressure on the sub if it was a
Speaker 15: sub that did the work, If it was them themselves,
Speaker 15: I don't give you a response back once they hear
Speaker 15: from that.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, Ronnie, don't don't labor yourself any longer.
Speaker 3: Get back to your job. Let me guess you're an
Speaker 3: air traffic controller. No, I'm just kidding, all right. Now,
Speaker 3: what I want to do is have Deputy Bow, Deputy
Speaker 3: Bow front and center, sir, all right, Bow, Oh, ask
Speaker 3: Bo to take this on and cut through the red tape.
Speaker 3: It sounds to me like it sounds to me like
Speaker 3: we can't get the answer from Ronnie. But I need
Speaker 3: to know did Tesla send someone out, if the insurance
Speaker 3: company sends someone out, is there any part of that
Speaker 3: that could be part of insurance? Who knows?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 3: Anyway, Brooke Red Rocks, Roof and Solar call for rough

Speaker 3: records you keep. So he was with full He's with
Speaker 3: a charity.
Speaker 16: Right, Yeah, he started a charity called Full Circle. Full
Speaker 16: Circle for People in drug.
Speaker 3: Recovery right helps people with substance abuse and recovery. They
Speaker 3: recently bought a building that needs electrical work and they asked, Excel,
Speaker 3: can you please turn off the power? So we can
Speaker 3: do this, this and this, And they said, because because
Speaker 3: it's holding them up on construction and it's very critical.
Speaker 3: And they said, you're three months out or four months
Speaker 3: out now to turn off power. First of all, I
Speaker 3: never knew you needed Excel to do that at all.
Speaker 3: I don't know why, because when people work on my mast.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't believe we had to
Speaker 3: have Excel out there. What did you find out though?
Speaker 3: Go ahead.
Speaker 16: I went out to the property twice and it's over
Speaker 16: on sixth cent Bryant. He does have heavy power going
Speaker 16: to the building that THEYD purchase because it was formerly
Speaker 16: a marijuana grow place. So they've got these workers ready
Speaker 16: to go. I think they're paying them. But Excel can't
Speaker 16: get out there till April twenty first.
Speaker 3: So I won't why. I mean, why does they have
Speaker 3: to be there? Can't a master electrician turn off the
Speaker 3: power and turn it on?
Speaker 16: Well, this is what I suggested. I don't know what
Speaker 16: electrical contractor they're using, but when I went out there
Speaker 16: to look at it, I suggested to Sam Wilson that
Speaker 16: they just pull the electrical meters and then there's a
Speaker 16: big lever disconnect switch. They could turn the switch to
Speaker 16: the opposition and pad law.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. But it must be against the
Speaker 3: law or something bo because they say they can't do
Speaker 3: it without an electrician. Hey, guys, call in if you
Speaker 3: know this answer. I have a lot of nerds right this. Wait,

Speaker 3: Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three
Speaker 3: eight two five five here to help you with your problems.
Speaker 3: We like to do that and one of the ways
Speaker 3: we do that is by you calling in. So let
Speaker 3: me get to our callers and to our fun and festivities.
Speaker 3: We have a guest here today as well. I'll introduce you.
Speaker 3: But Deputy Bo wants to talk about this follow up? Deputy,
Speaker 3: are you done with it or because I want to know? Well,
Speaker 3: here's what I don't understand. The only time I have
Speaker 3: ever heard needing Excel Energy to turn off the power
Speaker 3: is when they turn it off at the poll because
Speaker 3: they're working on the service line and the mast and.
Speaker 7: All of that.
Speaker 3: That's when you need That's when you need Excel Energy.
Speaker 3: But if you're working on anything from the meter inward,
Speaker 3: you do not need them at all. For anything, you
Speaker 3: can pull the master switch. You don't have to pull
Speaker 3: the meter. You just turn off the master switch in
Speaker 3: the breaker box. But what work are they doing? It
Speaker 3: must be on the mast and on the service line. Bow,
Speaker 3: that's the only time they would need go ahead.
Speaker 16: I agree with you, Tom, I don't think the power
Speaker 16: needs to be shut off that the transformer can on
Speaker 16: the pole.
Speaker 3: But okay, what electrical work? I know you went there
Speaker 3: and investigates, so you must know what electric work are
Speaker 3: they doing?
Speaker 16: So they got to rewire the whole building because the
Speaker 16: former tenants dripped out all the.
Speaker 3: Copper and do not need to turn off power at
Speaker 3: the poll to do that?
Speaker 2: No, they don't need to do that.
Speaker 16: But Tom be in a grow house. There's a lot
Speaker 16: of power there. There's seven or eight massive electrical panels,
Speaker 16: and I believe they want to reduce it down to
Speaker 16: just one panel.
Speaker 3: And I but they don't eat it. They don't need
Speaker 3: the power turned off at the pole.
Speaker 16: No they don't. But they seem insist that they're an
Speaker 16: electric electrical contractors insist.
Speaker 3: Well, did you talk to the hold on? Did you
Speaker 3: talk to the electrical contractor? Because I'm sure you can
Speaker 3: explain it. Let's get him on the air.
Speaker 16: Well, I'll call I'll call Sam up and have them
Speaker 16: bring the electrical contractor up on it.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not at odds. I'm not at odds
Speaker 3: with him at all. I just want to know. We
Speaker 3: just want some reasoning here for this woman. Let's let's
Speaker 3: get some reasoning. And the only thing you three oh
Speaker 3: three oh go ahead, bo.
Speaker 16: I just want to put this out. They're electrical contractor says,
Speaker 16: if you pull electrical meter that it sends the signal
Speaker 16: to Excel and they'll find your account ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 16: I just want an employee of Excel to call into
Speaker 16: the show to verify it.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I like to know. We have a lot
Speaker 3: of nerds that listen to this show, and then of
Speaker 3: course I have my morons, and they know a lot.
Speaker 3: So maybe one of our morons knows about I can
Speaker 3: name one moron, Tam that actually does he does a
Speaker 3: lot of electrical work.
Speaker 16: I'm going to have him. I think it's I think, Hellcatt,
Speaker 16: I'm going to have Sam get his electrical contractor to
Speaker 16: call into the show. I agree, because I think it's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, good. So let's keep working on this to
Speaker 3: get this problem solved, and then meanwhile, let's solve some
Speaker 3: other problems, questions and complaints, and we can also talk
Speaker 3: about stuff in the news, one of the things I
Speaker 3: love doing because there is a lot of crazy crap
Speaker 3: going on. What do you think about these Tesla bombings?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I mean, I mean it's getting really, really,
Speaker 3: really bad. So I want to know what do you
Speaker 3: think about that? Seriously, because it's it's it's getting to
Speaker 3: a point where a lot of Tesla drivers are paranoid.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're getting you know, but you
Speaker 3: have to understand mark that it is a little weird, isn't.
Speaker 3: Don't you get the finger once in a while or not?
Speaker 14: No, not at all.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 3: Here is fact.
Speaker 17: I don't worry about anything out where I live or
Speaker 17: around the Tech center, and I never go to downtown,
Speaker 17: so I just don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: Man, Well did you know that? Non? I'll tell you
Speaker 3: what I have been doing though. Check this out. You
Speaker 3: were never a motorcycle rider.
Speaker 17: But for people out there that rode bikes for a while,
Speaker 17: when you're passing another bike coming at you, you kind
Speaker 17: of have a wave and you kind of acknowledge each
Speaker 17: other you're both on a bike and your bikers. I'm
Speaker 17: starting to do that with all Tesla drivers I see,
Speaker 17: and I'm getting a response about.
Speaker 3: Eighty percent of the time. The brother who know.
Speaker 17: And then out here in Franktown, as you know, you
Speaker 17: lived out here years ago, someone comes wandering around.
Speaker 3: These parts, they're liable to get shot. Yeah, now, listen
Speaker 3: to this. A record number of non white voters and
Speaker 3: young men and young black men have been drifting over
Speaker 3: to Elon Musk and he had the biggest gain of
Speaker 3: that segment in history. Now, think about that. He's supposed
Speaker 3: to be the racist, bigoted hate You mean you mean Trump,
Speaker 3: not Elon. Yeah, No, Trump is supposed to be. And
Speaker 3: all of these voters are going over to Trump. They're
Speaker 3: supporting him in the latest surveys. Anyway. Yeah, thinking about
Speaker 3: they could get in lied to Tom.
Speaker 17: They're sick and tired of being lied to. You know,
Speaker 17: we had skin and bones. It couldn't even have a
Speaker 17: rational thought in the White.
Speaker 3: House for four years and they just lied to everybody
Speaker 3: about it. And people like badass Trump is bad ass. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think. I think what's shocking to people is that
Speaker 3: I just think that they believe. I just think that
Speaker 3: they believe that he's an evil man. I mean, they
Speaker 3: just no matter what he does. Who are these people
Speaker 3: that believe that?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Mark, Okay, I'll give you one Monty Okay.
Speaker 17: That's one out of fifty thousand they listen to Mark.
Speaker 3: Mark. Come on, you're not telling me that everyone in
Speaker 3: Denver loves Trump.
Speaker 17: We had this argument, we had this argument leading up
Speaker 17: to the election. How there was no way Trump was
Speaker 17: ever gonna win, and Ma and all these people would
Speaker 17: never vote for him, and he swept everything.
Speaker 3: I did say stuff like that, Okay, I did.
Speaker 17: But look CNBC, CNN, they make you think there's all
Speaker 17: these people that are out there.
Speaker 3: That can't stand them. I'm telling you it's like three people.
Speaker 3: You're saying that it's all fake news.
Speaker 17: Basically, I'm saying it's one hundred percent fake news. Just
Speaker 17: look at the election results. Every swing state he took.
Speaker 17: He took the popular vote. My god, he swept. Look
Speaker 17: at the black vote. What do you The only thing
Speaker 17: he didn't really sweep was I think it was white women.
Speaker 3: Okay, what about Okay? So I want to know if
Speaker 3: people agree with that this is not a not a
Speaker 3: political well, it's ultimately a political discussion. But I believe
Speaker 3: that there are still many, many, many many people who
Speaker 3: can't stand them. And I think it's about half of
Speaker 3: the country. That's what I think. So I believe that
Speaker 3: about half. No, I'm not I'd like to.
Speaker 17: Hear from I'd like to hear people's thoughts as well.
Speaker 17: Three oh three seven one three a two five five. Really,
Speaker 17: I'd like to hear it.
Speaker 3: I would I really would like to know, Like, here's
Speaker 3: what I'd like to know. He's absolutely wrong, he's absolutely right,
Speaker 3: or I like some and I don't like some, you know,
Speaker 3: like in between, which would be a positive.
Speaker 17: Saying the numbers are already over inflated. Tom, What I'm
Speaker 17: saying is the number of people is nowhere near half
Speaker 17: and half. They can't stand them, It's nowhere near it.
Speaker 17: They're just loud, squeaky, creddy people.
Speaker 3: That's all. But you did you did see the CNN
Speaker 3: poll on his approval rating is at an all time low. No,
Speaker 3: it's the highest he's ever had. Okay, it went down
Speaker 3: and it's progressively going down. I don't know we're looking
Speaker 3: at the same poll. But anyway, we have a question
Speaker 3: about moving companies. Carla. What I love that you're calling
Speaker 3: ahead of time? Carla? What's going on? I'm here? Yes,
Speaker 3: I okay? How can we help you?
Speaker 7: Are you there?
Speaker 3: Okay? And where are you moving from? Where to where?
Speaker 10: We're moving from.
Speaker 13: North Thornton to Westminster office ninety six.
Speaker 8: And wawdors.
Speaker 3: Okay. So you're just doing a local move, yep, a
Speaker 3: local move and you're looking for somebody. Now listen, here's
Speaker 3: what's important in this industry. Most of the people you
Speaker 3: talk to, not some of them. Most of them are lying,
Speaker 3: cheating ripoffs who will take you for every dime you
Speaker 3: have and hold your stuff hostage and they're terrible. So
Speaker 3: there you got about ninety eight percent of them. We're
Speaker 3: going to fall into that category. So I am so
Speaker 3: happy that you're calling me and you're not going to
Speaker 3: next door where a lot of the ripoffs hang out
Speaker 3: out or my excuse me, Facebook or Instagram. I'm glad
Speaker 3: you're calling us now, Mark, here's the challenge, Well, there
Speaker 3: is no challenge. Who would you go to? Mark? Misson?
Speaker 3: He might not be on. Yeah, I missed the question.
Speaker 18: What was it?
Speaker 3: What would you do for a local mover man?
Speaker 17: Probably Johnson Storage and Moving. They do local as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, john Johnson Moving in Storage, You'll never go wrong, never. Okay,
Speaker 3: make sure it's Johnson Moving and Storage. Now did you
Speaker 3: call anyone so far?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 13: I've got three people coming out to give me bids.
Speaker 13: But that's good.
Speaker 3: To tell me who you had come out, No, no,
Speaker 3: tell me who you had come out.
Speaker 13: They haven't come out yet. But I've got Local Moving
Speaker 13: coming out on Monday. They got I'm I'm just looking
Speaker 13: at reviews online and they got like a four point
Speaker 13: nine out of thirteen hundred.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, don't believe them.
Speaker 13: Go ahead, Okay, Legacy Moving, which also has high high ratings,
Speaker 13: and College Hunk.
Speaker 3: Okay, now, I will tell you that Local and Legacy
Speaker 3: they're not terrible. Okay, Okay, here's what you want to
Speaker 3: look out for. Still, I still would I would only
Speaker 3: use I would only use my people. So and they're
Speaker 3: not even on the referral list anymore. They're so damn good.
Speaker 3: But I would send you over to them, and I
Speaker 3: believe you'll be treated fine. But if the other two
Speaker 3: are okay, I don't like the College Hunk thing, not
Speaker 3: just because of the name and stupid. But here's the deal.
Speaker 3: When you have what you definitely want is a guarantee
Speaker 3: not to exceed price guarantee not to exceed Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: not just not an estimate. You want to guarantee not
Speaker 3: to exceed.
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you, and the only thing you and
Speaker 3: you're not going to pay up front. You're only going
Speaker 3: to pay when they load and when they deliver. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: What else were you going to say?
Speaker 13: What are your thoughts? On having them pack and unpack it.
Speaker 3: They do a better job than we can.
Speaker 18: I know.
Speaker 13: That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 6: I've got a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: I you know what this last move, I made a
Speaker 3: really big move several years ago where we moved. I
Speaker 3: had them do all the packing and as long as
Speaker 3: I'm there supervising and stuff, as far as writing notes
Speaker 3: to myself and all that, it's pretty good. Now there's
Speaker 3: going to be a time and I'm not I'm sure.
Speaker 3: I don't even know why it's here. Why movers don't
Speaker 3: provide QR codes and just a QR code each box
Speaker 3: and then send them send the owner a list of
Speaker 3: you know, like number one, and then around that big
Speaker 3: number one there's a QR code, So U QR code
Speaker 3: the box and then it sends a message to the
Speaker 3: owner what was put in QR one. It's just things
Speaker 3: like this are just going to be around the corner.
Speaker 3: But to make a long story short with you, is America.
Speaker 3: You know call I can't think of his name, Nam Johnson.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, man, that's just my brain go in creasey
Speaker 3: right now. Johnson moving in storage. But then I'm not

Speaker 3: Storage and those other two. The more I'm looking into them,
Speaker 3: they look pretty good. They look pretty good. I'm looking
Speaker 3: I look for fake spot and I didn't note. Fake
Speaker 3: spot is where they try they go through reviews and
Speaker 3: they try to match with with ips and c if
Speaker 3: they're fake and they they're good people on the fake
Speaker 3: spot and local moving. So just a car do you favor?
Speaker 14: Though?
Speaker 3: I want you to call me back after you get
Speaker 3: your estimates and give me your feelings. What debo you
Speaker 3: had a question?

Speaker 16: for fifty years and they're good for local movies.

Speaker 3: three O three seven one three talk seven one three
Speaker 3: eight two five five. All right, So we have a
Speaker 3: question about red light camera tickets, and I've now this
Speaker 3: is what I can tell you personally of research personally
Speaker 3: and and also tested the limits. Danny, go ahead, Grey.
Speaker 18: My question was, h Okay, if you get a ticket
Speaker 18: from let's say Denver, little turn you went through of
Speaker 18: it went through a yellow, but it was really red,
Speaker 18: and so they'll thend you a ticket in the mouth.
Speaker 9: Do you have to pay it?
Speaker 18: I've been told that unless an officer gives you a
Speaker 18: written ticket, that you don't have to pay it.
Speaker 3: Okay, First and foremost, let's talk about a red light ticket,
Speaker 3: no matter what it is. A red light ticket, when
Speaker 3: issued by the police, is a summons. Okay, it's a ticket.
Speaker 3: It's an accusation. It's not automatically guilty. Okay. Now, when
Speaker 3: you get a ticket from the courts and they hand
Speaker 3: it to you on the street or in your car
Speaker 3: or wherever, that ticket is also an automatic demand to
Speaker 3: appear in court. If you look on the ticket, it
Speaker 3: says that you must answer by a certain date or
Speaker 3: appeer on a certain date. If you did not answer
Speaker 3: that ticket that you were given personally, you would be
Speaker 3: in contempt of court and there weren't issued for your arrest. Okay.
Speaker 3: That's what would happen with a ticket that is handed
Speaker 3: to you. If the ticket is not handed to you. First,
Speaker 3: they don't even know if it is you. They don't
Speaker 3: know if you even got it. And the only way
Speaker 3: they can execute it or prosecute it is by personal service. Now,
Speaker 3: personal service used to be they had to have you served,
Speaker 3: but some municipalities, and you have to check on each,
Speaker 3: have changed their local laws that say that you can
Speaker 3: use the US mail as service, so they can send
Speaker 3: you a registered letter and that would be service. Okay,
Speaker 3: Now as far as pay, paying or not paying. As
Speaker 3: far as paying or not paying, I'm going to tell
Speaker 3: you something right now, I'm just gonna tell you. Unless
Speaker 3: it's an outrageous amount and you're just pissed off, you
Speaker 3: can take in the court all you want or refuse
Speaker 3: to pay. But it is always cheaper not to pay.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, It's always cheaper to pay the initial fine
Speaker 3: than to fight it. Always because ultimately you will lose.
Speaker 3: You will, you will absolutely lose. The only time you
Speaker 3: win are like the times I've done. Like I've got
Speaker 3: about twenty five tickets for various reasons, all different kinds,
Speaker 3: and all I do is ignore them. This is me.
Speaker 3: And when I ignore them, they have gone away. And
Speaker 3: when they don't go away. I look at my email
Speaker 3: and you will get another stern warning, and then I
Speaker 3: babysit that one. And when I know that they've had enough,
Speaker 3: they're going to send me a summons. Then I pay it.
Speaker 3: But most of them don't. But the laws are rapidly
Speaker 3: changing where trust me, if a camera picks up a
Speaker 3: fight on a street corner, you're going to be getting
Speaker 3: assault tickets. It's technology and the government. It's scary what
Speaker 3: they can do together. But we are going to have
Speaker 3: a situation where yes, the ticket will be a summons,
Speaker 3: just like if a police officer gave it to you.
Speaker 3: But it's not like that. Now, where did you get
Speaker 3: the ticket?
Speaker 9: Sir?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 18: This was This has been taken care of.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 9: It was about thirteen years.
Speaker 18: Ago in Littleton. But I ran into a young woman today.
Speaker 18: It was about forty five and she told me she
Speaker 18: never pays any of them. Unless a police officer gives
Speaker 18: you one, you don't have to pay him.
Speaker 3: Well, it is true that you don't have to pay
Speaker 3: because there's no one with a gun to your head.
Speaker 3: Or not you should have paid, that's a matter of question.
Speaker 3: If you feel truly you have an argument against it,
Speaker 3: then go to court. But you're right, you got to
Speaker 3: be summoned first, and if you're not summoned, nothing happens.
Speaker 18: So if they sent you a letter, read it real
Speaker 18: carefully and make sure it says something on it that says,
Speaker 18: if you don't pay this, there'll be a warrant put
Speaker 18: out for your arrest.
Speaker 3: Well, that's right, if it's a summons in the form
Speaker 3: of a letter. Some municipalities have accepted mark. Do you
Speaker 3: know which ones accept mail now as a personal service?
Speaker 3: I know there are a number of them doing it
Speaker 3: because they wanted to get away from that loophole. They
Speaker 3: didn't want to have to serve everyone. So if I
Speaker 3: were you, I would pay it if it's not too much,
Speaker 3: and forego the brain damage unless you know, unless you
Speaker 3: feel like fighting. I'm Tom Martinez. We have more coming

Speaker 3: Ford pickup truck? Really?
Speaker 8: Okay, that's most updated, but that's not mine.
Speaker 3: And uh, who's the motorcycle game entering your home? Right now?
Speaker 3: Never mind? Yes, so you have a you have a
Speaker 3: two guard garage on one side and two car and
Speaker 3: the other or what.
Speaker 8: It's Yeah, so this is a custom make that that there?
Speaker 8: It's a it's four bedrooms. With each side has four bets,
Speaker 8: so it's two separate units.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, wow, Well if I come up then to visit,
Speaker 3: I'll have somewhere to stay.
Speaker 8: Yeah, now you know where I'm at to make sure
Speaker 8: you go to the right unit.
Speaker 3: Okay, well so but you own the whole thing.
Speaker 8: Uh no, nope, just my side.
Speaker 3: Okay, So you bought a duplex. Who'd have thunk that
Speaker 3: you buy a duplex out in the country in Alaska.
Speaker 8: Well, it's actually in town. It's actually that's that's just
Speaker 8: how beautiful it is. And with still I mean it's
Speaker 8: in town, but you have so much space. I mean,
Speaker 8: you just get so much with your property. It's insane,
Speaker 8: very fun.
Speaker 3: Hey, if you need a custom bath, walking, shower and
Speaker 3: all that, we have renew home innovations on the show today. So, hey,
Speaker 3: is it hard to find reliable contractors where you are?
Speaker 8: It is now because a lot of that work when
Speaker 8: the lower forty eight doing good, typically Alaska isn't doing
Speaker 8: so good, But when the lower forty eighth is struggling,
Speaker 8: then that's when Alaska is doing really good. So right now,
Speaker 8: custom builders.
Speaker 3: Are why is that Why is that counter? Why is
Speaker 3: that counter's circulative? Why are sicular why.
Speaker 6: I don't know, Tom.
Speaker 8: Honestly, I've only been here. I used to live in Colorado.
Speaker 8: I've been here for eight years. But so it's I
Speaker 8: think it has something to do with like the native
Speaker 8: population and the regulations with drilling and all that with
Speaker 8: the natural gas. But they believe this will be the
Speaker 8: first year with Trump being in, with the deals that
Speaker 8: are going on with Japan and the natural.
Speaker 7: Gas, that that could be this could.
Speaker 8: Actually be something where we all do well this year,
Speaker 8: so or the next four or eight years.
Speaker 3: How are politics in Alaska?
Speaker 8: That's why I'm calling. So I heard what you and
Speaker 8: are Mark going back and forth, and I mean, I'll
Speaker 8: tell you, I'm a staunch Trump support, but a lot
Speaker 8: of my friends from Colorado who were hardcore blue dog
Speaker 8: Democrats or independence and then originally I'm from Iowa saying
Speaker 8: there the majority of them didn't vote for Trump. But
Speaker 8: this time around, the ones I know all voted for him,
Speaker 8: that he's he might not be liked in certain areas,
Speaker 8: but they love what he's doing because that's what he
Speaker 8: got voted in for. But in Alaska it's as patriarchic
Speaker 8: as you can get. I mean, you didn't want to
Speaker 8: be a Biden person living in Alaska, because there was
Speaker 8: a lot of flag that had explicit language about Biden
Speaker 8: on it that would you'd see regularly, so very patriotic
Speaker 8: here and and very pro and a lot of independence,
Speaker 8: but very pro you know, America America first.
Speaker 3: So you feel like Alaska is is a moving conservatives.
Speaker 8: It's pretty much always been conservative, but there's a lot okay,
Speaker 8: it's there's a lot more. There's a lot of independence too,
Speaker 8: independence and uh but I would say it's much stronger now.
Speaker 8: And it's not because they love report publicans. It's because
Speaker 8: they like our freedom. They don't like how that's where mistreated.
Speaker 8: They don't like where all this money was going. They
Speaker 8: don't like all the line and coruption of the media.
Speaker 8: I mean, it's not just Republicans. You're seeing democrats here,
Speaker 8: same thing independence, but it's mainly they want the freedom.
Speaker 3: Well that's good to know, you know. I mean, because
Speaker 3: I told Mark I thought there were a growing number
Speaker 3: of people still disillusioned and that don't like him, and
Speaker 3: Mark said that it's he thinks a lot of that's
Speaker 3: fake news. What they do is they take something bad
Speaker 3: that happened and amplify it, or they talk about the
Speaker 3: possibility of a recession or of a major problem with inflation,
Speaker 3: and they do that on purpose to make it seem
Speaker 3: bigger than it is. But when you're out and about
Speaker 3: on your normal day, we'll go.
Speaker 8: Ahead, Yeah, let me respond to that.
Speaker 7: So I would agree with Mark.
Speaker 5: And here's why.
Speaker 8: If you guys look at the statistics that are coming
Speaker 8: out in polls, especially like with CNN, now that Trump
Speaker 8: has introduced like alternate media, like let's you know, like
Speaker 8: YouTube type stars or just people like his son who
Speaker 8: is engaged during the election, you have a lot of
Speaker 8: voices that they're sick of what's going on on mainstream
Speaker 8: and are turning towards other sources because they believe it's
Speaker 8: more of a balanced approach. And I think that's why
Speaker 8: you're seeing a big shift. And I would have to
Speaker 8: agree with Mark is the media's like CNN and MSMB,
Speaker 8: their numbers are plummeting in the Democrat percentage is in
Speaker 8: the tank. So it just leads me to believe that
Speaker 8: that is probably most accurate, just because I see such
Speaker 8: a popularity on rumble and YouTube with more of a
Speaker 8: think take group with whether you're a Democrat, liberal or
Speaker 8: a Democrat, Republican or independent. Their life minds are coming
Speaker 8: together and we're just sitting out and talking about the
Speaker 8: things that we agree on.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I see what you're saying. Mark, Are you there?
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's listening. Okay, does he here?
Speaker 3: Does he hear us? Or is he if he's around?
Speaker 3: On Curio three seven seven one three eight two five
Speaker 3: five man Terry, it's good talk to you. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: send you some swag. I had to wait for a
Speaker 3: new run on one of my things before I could
Speaker 3: send it out, but I appreciate it so real quick.
Speaker 3: Here though, what is the like the income bracket up
Speaker 3: in that little town you're in. Are people wealthy? Are
Speaker 3: they poor? Are the in between? You have a good mixture? What?
Speaker 8: Yeah, so that's the unfortunate thing I'm in. You know,
Speaker 8: I'm in healthcare. So if you have like hourly healthcare,
Speaker 8: that's what we're struggling right now. There is a mass
Speaker 8: ectidus just because when during Biden's Biden's administrative the administration,
Speaker 8: the cost to get goods to Alaska, like food and
Speaker 8: other goods, it's just spiked. I mean, I was watching
Speaker 8: prices go up each week, sometimes by a dollar.
Speaker 7: It was crazy.
Speaker 3: But you mean because of trucking, or why because of trucking, or.
Speaker 8: Why both trucking, flying stuff in on a barge, all
Speaker 8: of it. It's just everything was just so much more
Speaker 8: expensive to get to Alaska when I first got here
Speaker 8: in two thousand and eight. I mean, it went up
Speaker 8: at least by thirty percent. When over the past four years, do.
Speaker 3: You sense a sense of optimism up there?
Speaker 14: Absolutely?
Speaker 8: People are fired up. It's exciting like this, Alaska is
Speaker 8: the hidden gem. People think it's dark and cold, and
Speaker 8: here all the time it's beautiful.
Speaker 6: This is the hidden gem.
Speaker 8: I see that this is going to be kind of
Speaker 8: like Colorado was when I moved there back in two
Speaker 8: thousand and eight. I think this is going to be
Speaker 8: the next Colorado, if you will, because it's what people want.
Speaker 8: Safe communities. I mean, you're not We don't have the
Speaker 8: crime here.
Speaker 7: It's safe.
Speaker 8: You know, your neighbors, people you know, wave and talk
Speaker 8: to each other, and a lot of like you know,
Speaker 8: neighborhood parties during the summer and and all that. So
Speaker 8: it's just and that's not just with Stilla, this is
Speaker 8: this is throughout the state. So there's just a lot
Speaker 8: of people.
Speaker 3: All right, real quick, I got to ask, so Terry, Terry, Terry,
Speaker 3: walk me through. So from January, February and March, what
Speaker 3: kind of weather.
Speaker 8: It's been in the forties.
Speaker 7: You know, we've had some rain, but we haven't had
Speaker 7: like the snow.
Speaker 3: So what is it? What is it? Normally?
Speaker 9: Is this?
Speaker 3: Is it still bitter winter January and February?
Speaker 16: Right?
Speaker 8: Yeah, normally it's you know, minus degrees or you know,
Speaker 8: five degrees above, but and a.
Speaker 7: Ton of snow.
Speaker 3: Okay. Then what happens in March.
Speaker 8: March It starts to warm up really quickly, but then
Speaker 8: you always, like Colorado, you'll get that unexpected snowstorm that
Speaker 8: will drop like okay, and then it melts aware.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the same the same with April. So when
Speaker 3: does it really get nice where you don't bring a
Speaker 3: coat with you and you go out for the day.
Speaker 8: Typically, actually that can April March like at the towards
Speaker 8: the like the middle to end of March and then
Speaker 8: into April.
Speaker 3: Right, but it goes on and off and on and
Speaker 3: off through April. Is May pretty stable, May, May.
Speaker 8: June, July, August, September is all is that stable.
Speaker 3: So it sounds to me like Colorado.
Speaker 8: It's a lot like Colorado, except for we have large mosquitos.

Speaker 3: you know, we do a lot of talking about a
Speaker 3: lot of things, right, and and so from time to time,
Speaker 3: if you want to go back and see how something
Speaker 3: ended up, let us let us know, because we don't
Speaker 3: always recap everything Now Bo was handling a problem just
Speaker 3: to day, isn't it Bo from Car? Wait? Wait, just
Speaker 3: like when did that.
Speaker 16: Call thirty minutes ago Marcy about Marcy?
Speaker 3: Marcy and eleven others had their cars towed. The manager said, yes,
Speaker 3: they're residents, but they backed into those spaces, right.
Speaker 16: So I called Carlos, the manager of the Extended Stay
Speaker 16: hotel in Englewood. They are long term guests there. So
Speaker 16: he said, there wasn't eleven cars. There were several cars.
Speaker 16: But when these guests come into the lobby and sign
Speaker 16: up for a room, there's signs, several signs in the
Speaker 16: lobby stating that you cannot back your car in, And
Speaker 16: then once they go into the hotel, it's they print
Speaker 16: it out on a flyer. So I asked them, well,
Speaker 16: why do you guys care if the people back their
Speaker 16: cars in? And he said, and I agree with him.
Speaker 16: He says, when they back in, they start the cars up.
Speaker 16: And these hotel rooms, oh, they have heat pumps, little
Speaker 16: heat pumps, and it draws the exhaust air from the
Speaker 16: car into the living space.
Speaker 3: So don't you think there should just be signs up
Speaker 3: on those posts saying do not back into spot.
Speaker 16: I asked Carlos this. I said, why don't you have
Speaker 16: some signage out into the parking lot. They said, well,
Speaker 16: we've ordered them and they're on back order.
Speaker 3: And I guess what, I don't think they have the
Speaker 3: right to I think that they can be sued, and
Speaker 3: I think these consumers will win. There's no sign out there,
Speaker 3: no way, there's no way without proper sign I don't care.
Speaker 3: I don't care if he said he told him in
Speaker 3: other ways, they're the law says signs.
Speaker 16: Okay, well there's no signs, then these people could take
Speaker 16: extended stay American America Hotel on Inglewood to small court.
Speaker 3: I want to did we have I want to get
Speaker 3: one of them back on the air now that we
Speaker 3: know this this bull crap.
Speaker 16: Now now, Tom Carlos said he would come on the
Speaker 16: air and state his case, but he had to talk
Speaker 16: with the owner of the hotel to get permission to come.
Speaker 3: On the air too. So okay, he sounded like a
Speaker 3: good guy.
Speaker 16: He sounded you know. He said, he wasn't evasive. He
Speaker 16: answered all my questions, and I asked him, if you can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but here we had one thing like that before
Speaker 3: where a notice went out to guests saying that guests
Speaker 3: can only park in a certain area. This went out
Speaker 3: to the people on the condo. Well, this one woman
Speaker 3: had a condo and her mom came to visit. Her
Speaker 3: mom wasn't privy to that memo, And people said, well,
Speaker 3: that's up to the woman. That's up to the tenant
Speaker 3: to tell her mom. No, it's not. If you're going
Speaker 3: to toast someone from that parking lot, it's up to
Speaker 3: you to warn them, not up to the residents. It's
Speaker 3: up to you to do it out with signage, simple signage,
Speaker 3: and in that case, we won, and we you will
Speaker 3: win if there's no proper signage. That's a very simple proposition.
Speaker 3: So that person that called in and was very upset,
Speaker 3: let's get him.
Speaker 16: Let's see if she'll come back on the air.
Speaker 3: Well, let's get her to go to small claims court.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I agree, I think there should be some There
Speaker 16: should be signage out into the parking lot. I understand
Speaker 16: why they don't want the cars back in, and uh,
Speaker 16: I see, but they.
Speaker 3: I see, I see exactly why. Yeah, Okay, to avoid exhaust,
Speaker 3: to avoid exhaust going in to the heat pumps, and
Speaker 3: I agree, but they have to have a sign up
Speaker 3: there saying do not back in or nose parking only

Speaker 3: three oh three seven one three eight two five five
Speaker 3: the Show for Solving Problems. I have ay new home
Speaker 3: innovations in the house. Let me get to a wide
Speaker 3: shot here. I have a question about now if they
Speaker 3: have a tub that they love, a turtle feet tub,
Speaker 3: turtle feet have you heard of those old things? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Can they say, okay, can you make a shower where
Speaker 3: one did not exist before? Like they don't want to
Speaker 3: do away with that tub? But they want to find
Speaker 3: a place to put a shower. Can you use plumbing
Speaker 3: and make a shower? You can even make a small
Speaker 3: walking shower. Absolutely.
Speaker 4: I mean there's many times we'll actually taken and bring
Speaker 4: a space where the shower and the tub are together
Speaker 4: in the in the same space.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's it's done pretty pretty commonly. So where
Speaker 3: one doesn't exist, you can put a shower. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: do it. Even with the tubs then where just take
Speaker 3: the tub out completely.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's done all the time. More and more people
Speaker 4: are getting rid of tubs, you know, on a I know,
Speaker 4: pretty consistent base, I know it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean but even if you're older, having a
Speaker 3: shower with a seat, who wants to soak anyway? So
Speaker 3: tell me about the steam showers? Do you do them
Speaker 3: a lot? We love showers? So does that add a
Speaker 3: lot to the to the project. It adds a lot
Speaker 3: of personal value? I think?
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But does it cost? It costs? Doesn't it? Yes? It
Speaker 3: does cost? Is it really expensive?
Speaker 4: Like how much it's a good investment? I mean you
Speaker 4: can get a ten grand somewhere in the middle. Wow, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's just for the steam while the jets and everything.
Speaker 4: Temperature controls. See, there's more to it than just steam.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, And and we use a Mister Steam product
Speaker 4: which has a lot of unique features that you can
Speaker 4: add to it with aroma therapy, coroma therapy.
Speaker 3: Oh cool, different, like a little chamber you can put
Speaker 3: some essence in. Absolutely yeah. Wow. You don't even have
Speaker 3: to fill it up.
Speaker 4: It's just automated and there's there's so many features that
Speaker 4: mister Steam has now today it's it's a wonderful product.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. I do a lot of people
Speaker 3: do steamers. I think if you're going that expense, if
Speaker 3: you're in a position to do it.
Speaker 4: I highly recommend it because it obviously makes you feel better,
Speaker 4: you know, for breathing and just overall well being.
Speaker 3: Steam showers are absolutely incredible. Okay, someone said that they
Speaker 3: saw a shower, a walk in shower, and it had
Speaker 3: side wall jets too. Can you put jets in weird areas?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we we have a really have just yeah,
Speaker 3: so you can have a he called these body jets
Speaker 3: body sprays. Yeah, so you can walk through like a
Speaker 3: car wash for days. Say you can.
Speaker 4: I have a couple of them in my shower, and
Speaker 4: I find that they don't get used very frequently, but
Speaker 4: they are they're they're definitely available. You just have to
Speaker 4: have to have the right plumber who knows how to
Speaker 4: plumb those things correctly.
Speaker 3: And we do so, all right, Yeah three oh three
Speaker 3: seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 3: If you have a problem, question and complain, give us
Speaker 3: a call. I want to go back to some stuff
Speaker 3: I was reading now, Oh dog, I went to the
Speaker 3: wrong one. Let me get back here. So we were
Speaker 3: talking about some news that flabbergas that the hell out
Speaker 3: of me. So let me find it again. It has
Speaker 3: to do with here. I am okay, wrong one, I'll
Speaker 3: find it. Three oh three seven one three eight two
Speaker 3: five five. This was this, This came up and I
Speaker 3: wanted to know why young people and non blacks are
Speaker 3: moving conservatively. In fact, it's alarming the left and they
Speaker 3: want to know why. What would you say? The reason is,
Speaker 3: I don't know the reason why young people? Mark, do
Speaker 3: you want to chime in on that minorities and young
Speaker 3: men and especially black men are moving toward Republican And
Speaker 3: they try to speculate as to why. Some of them
Speaker 3: say they like disruption and they like the idea that
Speaker 3: people are doing what they said they're going to do,
Speaker 3: and maybe a little bit of rebellion. So it's kind
Speaker 3: of funny, but they're looking at the Republicans as kind
Speaker 3: of a rebellion. Now here's another disturbing trend. Okay, it's
Speaker 3: people over fifty. Gray Divorces have doubled. You've been married
Speaker 3: your entire life, you know, adult life, you have kids,
Speaker 3: you saw off to college. You're sixty five years old.
Speaker 3: Why why give up them? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: And this is this is an unbelievable trend that more
Speaker 3: and more people sixty and older are getting divorced. Some
Speaker 3: say that the woman is finally done, saying my kids
Speaker 3: are out of the house. I've done. That's what they
Speaker 3: care about more than anything. Others say that right now,
Speaker 3: because of society in general accepting it more, that a
Speaker 3: great divorce is more accepted. So and times have changed
Speaker 3: to where they feel like there's no guilt in it.
Speaker 3: It's not like it used to be. So people over
Speaker 3: sixty getting divorces, and they're not for economic means. Except
Speaker 3: the one woman who won the lottery and did not
Speaker 3: tell her husband she divorced them. She was living high
Speaker 3: off the hog two years later he found out about it,
Speaker 3: and then he totally went apecrap. Honor opened up the
Speaker 3: divorce and got one hundred percent of the proceeds because
Speaker 3: of her dishonesty. That's a true story. I never I
Speaker 3: never actually believed it, but it's true. I looked it
Speaker 3: up all right. Now, as far as the court case
Speaker 3: is going on, I would like to hear from people
Speaker 3: if they believe that the courts have a right to
Speaker 3: reverse executive orders. Now here's something that I've always been taught.
Speaker 3: I have always been taught that the courts are only
Speaker 3: to decide when it comes to these issues the constitutionality.
Speaker 3: It's not a court of equity for the president fighting
Speaker 3: for his executive order, nor is it the place of
Speaker 3: the court to legislate from the bench. It seems like
Speaker 3: judges have been using the bench to get their agenda accomplished,
Speaker 3: as opposed to looking at constitutionality. The only thing they
Speaker 3: should look at is this constitutional or not? Not? Do
Speaker 3: I like it not? Do I agree with it? It
Speaker 3: should be one constitutional or not. And in all of
Speaker 3: these cases, what I found weird. None of them have
Speaker 3: done the just None of them have have given that reason.
Speaker 3: Three oh three seven one, three eight two five five.
Speaker 3: We got more coming up on the Troubleshooter show. Go
Speaker 3: with a sure thing Denver's best roofer Excel Roofing dot com.

Speaker 3: and finding a contractor can be hard. What am I hearing? Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm hearing me. Shut up anyway, So people, here's the
Speaker 3: bottom line when it comes to UH. A lot of
Speaker 3: a lot of people are having a tough time when
Speaker 3: it comes to homer modeling because of these reviews. A
Speaker 3: lot of them say they've had great reviews and ended
Speaker 3: up with crappy jobs. Some went with the price and
Speaker 3: lower price because the reviews were a little worse off,
Speaker 3: but they got good results and really and truly, I
Speaker 3: want to tell you something. Most of the people that
Speaker 3: advertise you don't know you, and most people are getting
Speaker 3: their stuff from either broadcast, podcasts or or you know,
Speaker 3: social media. Really, so when you do social media, you
Speaker 3: should ask why did you select us? Not who sent you?
Speaker 3: Or where did you find my lead? You want to
Speaker 3: know that, But Nick, you you also should ask why
Speaker 3: did you choose us? Do you ask that all the time? Okay,
Speaker 3: get on your MinC Yeah, all the time? And what
Speaker 3: did What is the reason?
Speaker 16: I like?
Speaker 3: Where are some of the reasons that if they don't
Speaker 3: know you, what are the reasons? Well, I've seen your
Speaker 3: ads that looks pretty good good or I like your prey.
Speaker 3: I mean, what reasons do you get?
Speaker 4: So consumers, you know, it's it's common knowledge. People tend
Speaker 4: to look at price as the drive factor, right, so
Speaker 4: do you a lost leader?
Speaker 3: Sometimes we have to Yeah, we have it's way to
Speaker 3: do and you'll do that lower price if that's what
Speaker 3: they insist on, absolutely, but then you show them what
Speaker 3: else is available.
Speaker 4: Of course, we have different levels of products, but we
Speaker 4: also emphasize on the one stop shop that you talked
Speaker 4: about earlier, how important it is that you don't have
Speaker 4: fifteen different people that you have to.
Speaker 3: Write cod or your timeline is what's the most attractive, right,
Speaker 3: I mean heck, I mean less than a week. So
Speaker 3: here's what I want to know though, So really most
Speaker 3: people we if we just put a pin in it,
Speaker 3: most people want they look for the best pricing first,
Speaker 3: right Now, that doesn't always turn out to be the
Speaker 3: best choice, but that's what they go for. After that,
Speaker 3: what do they care about? Do they care about anything
Speaker 3: after price? They? Quality? Right, they want quality.
Speaker 4: But you know the reality is it's hard to get
Speaker 4: an inexpensive price and a.
Speaker 3: Good quality product.
Speaker 4: So you have to have make a balance somehow. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you have to find a proper balance, and that's what
Speaker 4: we strive to do with.
Speaker 3: Are people's conceptions, Sauce you're out there every day in
Speaker 3: the trenches. I'm asking you because you have an incredible operation,
Speaker 3: So on the trenches, what are people most misinformed about
Speaker 3: when it comes to pricing or home remodeling? What are
Speaker 3: people what shocks them? If anything?
Speaker 4: You know, people's perception as to what it actually costs
Speaker 4: to actually have the you know, quality professionals quality.
Speaker 3: No, I know because because a handyman, so I can
Speaker 3: do that for a dollar fifty, you know, you know
Speaker 3: put an outlet in when an electrician might be two
Speaker 3: fifty or something. So do you have people saying, well,
Speaker 3: I can buy those liners, I can buy that material
Speaker 3: down a home depot every day every day. You know
Speaker 3: there are we're always going to be up against that,
Speaker 3: but you know are we But then you got to
Speaker 3: have somebody put it in. You have to have it
Speaker 3: done right, You have to right.
Speaker 4: Our model has always been, you know, provide the best
Speaker 4: quality product we can find, have good people that we
Speaker 4: can trust in our home as well as yours, and
Speaker 4: sell it at a fair price that everyone is comfortable with.
Speaker 4: So it's a win win opportunity for all groups of
Speaker 4: in your mind, and do you make.
Speaker 3: Do you go in on a lot of mistakes like
Speaker 3: people who started with another company? Unfortunately that happens more
Speaker 3: than I care to mention.
Speaker 4: Really, you know, we get yeah, and you know how
Speaker 4: do they get sideways with a bath contractor usually it's
Speaker 4: it starts with going with the lowest price because they
Speaker 4: found something that they all all the glitters is not
Speaker 4: gold right, so you know, just because the price sounds
Speaker 4: too good, Like what.
Speaker 3: Stakes though made was it just basic carpentry stuff.
Speaker 4: Bad carpentry, uh inability to you know, they you know,
Speaker 4: if you if you price a job and you don't
Speaker 4: have enough money in it to complete it, that's when
Speaker 4: you that's when you get people on your sleeves brigade
Speaker 4: because I run off and they run off and don't
Speaker 4: finish yet, and we end up getting those hyper customers
Speaker 4: from time to time.
Speaker 3: Okay, so people when you're looking for a contractor you know,
Speaker 3: reviews are not bad. If you read through them, you
Speaker 3: will see if they're fake or not. And and also
Speaker 3: not just reviews, but I would ask a company who's
Speaker 3: your supplier, make sure they're in good standing, where do
Speaker 3: they buy materials? I mean, if it's a big job
Speaker 3: I'm talking about, I would I would not. I don't pay,
Speaker 3: and I don't even know. I have never talked to
Speaker 3: Nick about this at all. But my general philosophy is,
Speaker 3: you don't pay up front for nothing. You pay up
Speaker 3: front for ordering stuff. You can pay up front for design.
Speaker 3: You can pay up front a small you know somewhat.
Speaker 3: Then you pay up front. When that's not upfront, that's
Speaker 3: when materias is delivered. You can pay when work begins.
Speaker 3: As work progresses. But I really believe where you get
Speaker 3: into trouble. As Nick said, these contractors take a lot
Speaker 3: of money and they're out of it before they finish,
Speaker 3: and then the or the homeowner doesn't have enough to finish,
Speaker 3: and it's a big mess. I'm Tom Martinez. Stick around

Speaker 3: Now listen, So someone called me a liberal, and I
Speaker 3: don't care what you call me, you know, because in
Speaker 3: some areas I am liberal. But you misquoted me, sir,
Speaker 3: you misquoted me. Of course, this is the iHeart Radio saying, Tom,
Speaker 3: I agree with Mark, the vast majority of Americans do
Speaker 3: approve of Trump. Because he said that I said the
Speaker 3: vast majority of people disapprove of Trump. I did not
Speaker 3: say that. I never said that. I said in all
Speaker 3: the polls, you'll see about half. You'll see about half
Speaker 3: the people disagreeing with him and half liking him. And
Speaker 3: if you go to other polls of approval ratings, supposedly
Speaker 3: he has a lower approval than Joe Biden had for
Speaker 3: the same time in office. Are you reading any of this, Mark,
Speaker 3: or is that all fake news? Too, do I just
Speaker 3: basically take anything that's not for Trump and call it
Speaker 3: fake Mark three O three seven one three talk seven
Speaker 3: one three two five five. I don't think Marks Mike's
Speaker 3: working today, So we'll just move on. In any case,
Speaker 3: the bottom line is this, Okay, there are about half
Speaker 3: the people that disagree. I'd like to know what do
Speaker 3: they disagree with that? That's a reasonable question. What do
Speaker 3: you disagree with when you disagree with that kind of stuff?
Speaker 3: I mean, are you saying, no, we should have waste
Speaker 3: in government, No, we should pay social security for people
Speaker 3: who've been dead. What should we do about it? And
Speaker 3: that's what That's what people seem to be saying that basically,
Speaker 3: whatever he does is wrong, even if he's cutting waste,
Speaker 3: even if he's helping government run more efficiently. That's not real.
Speaker 3: It's not true. Not true. Okay, here's something. Marijuana users
Speaker 3: are six times more likely to have our heart attack.
Speaker 3: Now I would think just the opposite. Why do you
Speaker 3: think young marijuana users, they say, over a long range study,
Speaker 3: were found to be six times more likely to have
Speaker 3: a heart attack. Does that surprise anyone? It mayriorrizes me.
Speaker 16: Tom, isn't marijuana smoking sort of analogous a cigarette smoking,
Speaker 16: if you do it long enough for your or this.
Speaker 3: Year it followed. The study followed thousands of younger people
Speaker 3: younger than fifty who had no comorbidities from twenty ten
Speaker 3: to trewenty eighteen, and it was, according to the research,
Speaker 3: hold on it just went to pay okay. According to
Speaker 3: the research, evidence linking cannabis used to adverse cardiovascular events,
Speaker 3: including in a schemic stroke and a mile mio cardial
Speaker 3: farnction on a heart attack, heart failure, and mortality. Specifically,
Speaker 3: cannabis uses were six times more likely to have a
Speaker 3: heart attack, four times more likely to having a stroke,
Speaker 3: and two times more likely to experience health failure. Why
Speaker 3: they appear to pose a substantial risk for these outcomes,
Speaker 3: Some say it could be because of what they encourage
Speaker 3: in the diet, or it suggests that cannabis itself has
Speaker 3: some kind of risk factor that we don't know about yet.
Speaker 3: It's a cardiovascular disease, there's some link that we don't
Speaker 3: know that it's actually the cannabis. So they believe warnings
Speaker 3: should be put on labels of all marijuana products. Now,
Speaker 3: they did not differentiate here with cannabis being eaten or
Speaker 3: cannabis being smoked or vaped. They didn't talk or they
Speaker 3: do talk about the findings. I'm just perusing it. Maybe
Speaker 3: they did.
Speaker 9: So.
Speaker 3: The bottom line is that cannabis use is shown to
Speaker 3: have contributing to heart disease and a risk of mortalit.
Speaker 3: Here's something interesting. Okay. Now they're saying also that any
Speaker 3: use of alcohol, any use of alcohol is unsafe and
Speaker 3: is a carcinogen, even casual drinking where you have some people.
Speaker 3: Remember they were advocating red wine is good for you,
Speaker 3: or wine is good for you. People still have that illusion.
Speaker 3: But according to this, and you know, there's there's not
Speaker 3: a lot of people disagreeing with it as far as
Speaker 3: major medical journals disagreeing, but apparently even casual use of alcohol.
Speaker 3: I know this is going to make my YouTube morons.
Speaker 3: They want to know who funded the study. Okay, I'm
Speaker 3: going to find out. But that is a study. And
Speaker 3: and if you if you listen to local news and
Speaker 3: national news, it's pretty ubiquitous as to the agreement. I mean,
Speaker 3: not all of these people. If you're in sine waiting
Speaker 3: that these people are being bought off by the UH
Speaker 3: alcohol industry, I mean or not the by the anti
Speaker 3: alcohol industry. First of all, I don't think there are
Speaker 3: enough people against drinking that would chip in that much
Speaker 3: money to fund to study. I mean, you can be
Speaker 3: against something and not be rich. I think, if anything,
Speaker 3: it would be the people who sell liquor to do
Speaker 3: a study to dispute it. But so far I don't
Speaker 3: know of any of those studies that dispute it. Now,
Speaker 3: somebody wrote me a text about the April They want
Speaker 3: to know more about the April fifth gathering. What exactly
Speaker 3: is it and why am I there? So April fifth,
Speaker 3: we're going to have Barry Miller and Barry. If you're listening,
Speaker 3: you can call in at any time. We're going to
Speaker 3: have a seminar on April fifth, and what it's going
Speaker 3: to do is it's going to talk about the main
Speaker 3: vest Era turn key program. So many people are confused
Speaker 3: about this program. I want to lay it out to
Speaker 3: you very plain and simple, so you understand it. Okay.
Speaker 3: It is not a pooled investment. People think they're buying
Speaker 3: into a group of homes. They're not. And they want
Speaker 3: to know, well, how do I know how my home
Speaker 3: or what I own and what I don't own and
Speaker 3: how do I know I'm going to get my return
Speaker 3: and it's going to be divided up properly. First and foremost,
Speaker 3: they're not pulled investments. If you do Vestera turnkey, it
Speaker 3: is not a pooled investment, It is not subject to
Speaker 3: government regulation. And it is simply you buying your own
Speaker 3: home through Vestera. That's it. Vestera. How do they make money?
Speaker 3: Why do they do it? Because they make money when
Speaker 3: you buy the house. They make money when you sell
Speaker 3: the house. The end, you're not even obligated to sell
Speaker 3: it with them, but if you do, they make money. There.
Speaker 3: They make a paltry six hundred dollars a year to
Speaker 3: answer all your phone calls. Then they have a management company,
Speaker 3: they arrange They even help me find homeowners insurance for
Speaker 3: the house. So in other words, they coordinate everything. But
Speaker 3: you buy the house under your name, you get the
Speaker 3: loan under your name, and you put up the cash
Speaker 3: under your name, the cash maybe about seventy five or
Speaker 3: eighty thousand, and then you have the loan and then
Speaker 3: you own the home. But as part of the turty
Speaker 3: the Vestera turnkey program, they're constantly with you doing all
Speaker 3: of the legwork, all of it, all of it, and
Speaker 3: you're you're just an owner and you get to sell
Speaker 3: that property when they tell you to and make a
Speaker 3: tremendous return. You can decide to do it again and
Speaker 3: do a ten thirty one exchange or just take the
Speaker 3: money and run. But that's essentially how it works. You
Speaker 3: are a client, you go to Ysteric Turnkey. They're your
Speaker 3: real estate people and they help you find a home
Speaker 3: in a market that they have researched. Their research is
Speaker 3: top notch, and that's really where they make their money.
Speaker 3: What is the best buy now, that'll be the best
Speaker 3: sale later that will bring me the most rent. That's
Speaker 3: what they do. So we have more coming up on

Speaker 3: you're a troubleshooter three all three seven one three talks
Speaker 3: seven one three eight two five five. What's going on
Speaker 3: in your life today, Peter? What's happening, sir?
Speaker 14: Well, I've just been listening to you. I've been listening
Speaker 14: to you for a long time, and one thing I
Speaker 14: would say is that you usually are pretty open to
Speaker 14: ideas on both sides, and.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 14: Mark is not. And you know, first of all, I'm
Speaker 14: an old guy, but I've had a lot of experience,
Speaker 14: and I was trained as a mediator, and I worked
Speaker 14: for many years in conflict resolution. And one of the
Speaker 14: things that one of the things that I believe in
Speaker 14: is that usually there's two sides to the story, and
Speaker 14: when you stop looking at the other person's point of view,
Speaker 14: it turns into a yelling mass, it turns into unreasonable
Speaker 14: discussions that really don't solve the problems. I don't I
Speaker 14: don't like the current administration. It's not that I don't
Speaker 14: like and I object to the facts that like somebody
Speaker 14: will come along like Mark and say, uh, you don't
Speaker 14: you know you don't want to get rid of the
Speaker 14: gang members. That's not true.
Speaker 3: I want to get rid of the gang or the
Speaker 3: government waste, or the government waste or all of that
Speaker 3: illegal immigration.
Speaker 14: I don't know. I I and most of the people
Speaker 14: that are being criticized believe in all that, but they
Speaker 14: don't believe it's being done properly.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 14: I was in management for Peter Peter.
Speaker 3: Isn't it fair to say, Peter, since it's Peter, since
Speaker 3: you're a reasonable man, let's let's do it back and
Speaker 3: forth here. He can't hear me. I know that's why
Speaker 3: he keeps talking. Our phone system is fed up. But Peter, listen,
Speaker 3: here's the bottom line. I think one of the things
Speaker 3: going on is we don't hear the other side. But
Speaker 3: you have to admit that the Democrats had a pretty
Speaker 3: long time to start implementing changes to the border, changes
Speaker 3: to all the governments of funding crap. They did changes
Speaker 3: to all of the social security payments going out illegally.
Speaker 3: But to say that they're against all that stuff, yet
Speaker 3: they never take action. They have never taken an anti
Speaker 3: immigrant or anti illegal immigrant or anti criminal immigrant ever
Speaker 3: have they taken any action ever? So how do you
Speaker 3: trust them? Peter? I do know that if you get
Speaker 3: one hundred people in a room and fifty year Democrats
Speaker 3: and fifty year Republicans, I do know they're going to
Speaker 3: agree on a lot of stuff if they get to
Speaker 3: that conversational level. But why don't the Democrats. Why haven't
Speaker 3: they done anything? Why they've been in control for so long?
Speaker 3: Why haven't they done anything? You said they're against all
Speaker 3: this stuff, then why didn't they do anything about it?
Speaker 14: Listen, I'm not talking for everybody. I'm talking from me.
Speaker 14: You asked, Okay, people have thought about the administration. I'm
Speaker 14: saying that I'm one hundred percent in favor of gang
Speaker 14: members being detained or whatever. I'm not in favor of
Speaker 14: the administration not following the constitution, not following the rules
Speaker 14: of law, not following the pre teachers that this country's
Speaker 14: based upon.
Speaker 3: What do you know? Can you help me out, help
Speaker 3: me understand, Peter, because I've always said, Look, I respect
Speaker 3: people's opinions, but I just need to know where you
Speaker 3: come from. Tell me what they're doing about the illegal
Speaker 3: gang members. That's unconstitutional?
Speaker 14: Well, first, first of all, there's been no hearings, there's
Speaker 14: been no process determining. And I'm not defending these people,
Speaker 14: but all I'm saying is that they don't follow the procedures.
Speaker 14: And it's the same thing. It's it's well, how do
Speaker 14: you how do you know that?
Speaker 3: How do you how do you know that? See, Peter,
Speaker 3: that's what I want to know that basically, because you're
Speaker 3: listening to bias news telling you that they're violating some company.
Speaker 3: You know, they're according to the Attorney General. According to
Speaker 3: the Attorney General, they're doing everything legally. So who are
Speaker 3: you listening to that is telling you that the Trump
Speaker 3: administration is Listen, Peter, Peter, Peter. The thought doesn't just
Speaker 3: come to you in the middle of the night. I'm
Speaker 3: simply asking a simple question. Who gave you the indication
Speaker 3: they were doing the wrong?
Speaker 7: Just wait?
Speaker 3: Can you please wait and answer one question? One question?
Speaker 3: Who told you they weren't doing it the right way?
Speaker 14: The Constitution of the United States?
Speaker 3: Oh so you compared? Okay, good, I'm glad I finally
Speaker 3: have a constitutional scholar. Show me the lines in the
Speaker 3: Constitution and where the Trump administration is violating those The
Speaker 3: spirit of that law. Tell me, gone, I'm listening. You
Speaker 3: actually studied the Constitution and compared it to the actions
Speaker 3: of their deportation, and you have concluded it's unconstitutional. You
Speaker 3: didn't hear it on CNN. You concluded it on your own.
Speaker 3: So please give me the area in the Constitution I
Speaker 3: should refer to and how it's being violated. Please help me.
Speaker 14: The Constitution says that before a person it can be removed.
Speaker 14: And I'm not talking about illegal, I'm talking I know.
Speaker 3: I want to know where you're frod. I want to
Speaker 3: know where in the Constitution. Where in the Constitution? Quote
Speaker 3: it for me. Please quote me the verse and the
Speaker 3: section so I can find it. I have the Constitution
Speaker 3: right here, don't have.
Speaker 14: My copy with me. I'd mean happy to call you
Speaker 14: back and with a copy of a Constitution in front
Speaker 14: of me.
Speaker 3: So I want to know if you honest to God,
Speaker 3: please honest to God, did you read the Constitution and
Speaker 3: then line by line compare it to what the Trump
Speaker 3: administration is doing? And you did what the Supreme Court
Speaker 3: justices are supposed to be doing. You read it and
Speaker 3: compared it to the Constitution. You did not do that,
Speaker 3: and you know you did not do that, Peter. You
Speaker 3: know you did not do that.
Speaker 14: That is not true.
Speaker 3: You okay, Peter, goodbye, Peter. I don't believe you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I don't believe that you took out the administration and
Speaker 3: started line by line checking the Trump administration for adherence
Speaker 3: to the Constitution. You heard it on CNN or MSNBC.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Peter. And you don't have your copy of
Speaker 3: the Constitution with you. It takes six seconds to get
Speaker 3: a copy online. What you're saying is a bunch of bs.
Speaker 3: You never did a constitutional check in your life on anything, Ray,
Speaker 3: what is your comment?
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Hey, Tom, thank you for having me on
Speaker 9: the show. You know, it just amazes me the level
Speaker 9: of ignorance that some of these people call up and
Speaker 9: try and defend what I call the indefensible. I mean
Speaker 9: President Trump. Yes, he has his fault, so you know what,
Speaker 9: he's a fighter. He fights for our country like no
Speaker 9: other man has done. And after the last four years
Speaker 9: of what we call a somewhat of a president who
Speaker 9: he really wasn't an acting president. I don't know who
Speaker 9: was running the country, but we all experience. I know,
Speaker 9: after four years of a horrible situation, I mean, come on, guys,
Speaker 9: pick it up. We've got to. We know, we've got
Speaker 9: a fighter. And does he make mistakes here? He does, okay,
Speaker 9: but you know what, he's fighting for us. He's fighting
Speaker 9: to bring in more businesses into our country like no
Speaker 9: other president I've ever seen before. I mean, all the
Speaker 9: millions and trillions of dollars of all these countries are
Speaker 9: saying now, they're going to come into our country and
Speaker 9: they're going to invest in our country. Biden, Biden was asleep.
Speaker 3: At the wheel. And oh no, no one doubt no
Speaker 3: one doubts that. And thank you, thank you Ray for
Speaker 3: your comments. Really, but this guy is saying that he
Speaker 3: went through the Constitution line by line to show where
Speaker 3: the Trump administration what they're doing is unconstitutional. I am
Speaker 3: a student of the Constitution. I did read the Constitution.
Speaker 3: I do have the Constitutions. I have the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 3: I also have the Communist Manifesto in Longhand, and I've
Speaker 3: read them, and I've read the Koran. So when people
Speaker 3: talk about these things, they talk out their ass most
Speaker 3: of the time. Most of the time they're just farting
Speaker 3: out there. They're farting words because they know not what
Speaker 3: they're talking about. There is nothing I can find in
Speaker 3: this constitution, nothing that even remotely comes close to what
Speaker 3: the president is doing. What the judges trying to do
Speaker 3: is make law from the bench. Judges now think, hmm,
Speaker 3: this is what the law is, but you know what,
Speaker 3: I don't like it, and they make rulings from the bench.
Speaker 3: They're legislating from the bench, and we should not allow it.
Speaker 3: Of course, we don't want them to legislate one way
Speaker 3: or another. It's just absolutely wrong. Go with a sure

Speaker 3: three O three seven one three talks seven one three
Speaker 3: eight two five five. Mike has a comment on the
Speaker 3: Great Colorado Payback. That's where funds go to die. If
Speaker 3: you ever had a refine and you never collected the
Speaker 3: money that you was refunded in maybe an s grow
Speaker 3: for taxes, or if you left and had an insurance
Speaker 3: policy and you were getting paid for like a hail
Speaker 3: claim and you never collected it, or there was still
Speaker 3: some on the table, or if somebody had a savings
Speaker 3: account they forgot about it. It goes off and to
Speaker 3: never never land. Eventually the institutions have to translate transfer
Speaker 3: to the state treasury and it's kept in what's called
Speaker 3: as cheat funds. And then that's the Colorado Payback is
Speaker 3: where they list your name. You go in and see
Speaker 3: if you owed any money, and if you are, you
Speaker 3: get it. Go ahead.
Speaker 7: Tom. Let me back up a little bit about your
Speaker 7: caller that said he read the Constitution. He's never going
Speaker 7: to find that in the Constitution because it's in the
Speaker 7: If anything, it would be in the Bill of Rights.
Speaker 7: That's where that would come from.
Speaker 3: But the Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution, right,
Speaker 3: the Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution.
Speaker 7: So my issue was the Great Colorado Payback, and I
Speaker 7: called you at the close of the show. Monday, I
Speaker 7: lost my parent and it was.
Speaker 3: About three dollars. It was about three dollars, wasn't it
Speaker 3: about three dollars?
Speaker 7: Three dollars? So I called him and I said, I
Speaker 7: will send you a claim for him, and they told
Speaker 7: me they wanted a death certificate. Okay, uploaded that. I
Speaker 7: get an email back that says they want a copy
Speaker 7: of the will, including a list of all of the
Speaker 7: errors and the percentages that are due those errors, along
Speaker 7: with all of my personal representative paperwork for this three dollars. Right,
Speaker 7: whatever happened to let the punishment fit the crime.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. I know you're saying three dollars,
Speaker 3: but the worlds weren't written for three dollars. They may
Speaker 3: have been written for three million dollars. So if somebody,
Speaker 3: let's just say it's three million. I know you're saying three,
Speaker 3: but let's say three million, because now it makes sense. Sir,
Speaker 3: we have to make sure you represent this estate. This
Speaker 3: could be me saying he's the son or the brother.
Speaker 3: So I have to prove who I am. Then I
Speaker 3: have to prove I have a right to the money
Speaker 3: and that I'm not trying to go in and claim
Speaker 3: it before my sister, who gets half of it. So
Speaker 3: really what they're doing is proper.
Speaker 9: That it is.
Speaker 7: Okay, but you talk about an entire waste of time.
Speaker 7: There should be provisions for dollar amounts less than exr.
Speaker 3: I totally agree with you. I totally agree there should
Speaker 3: be more of a due diligence on the bigger ones.
Speaker 3: But let's just say it's one hundred dollars or less.
Speaker 3: They should. I totally agree with you one hundred percent
Speaker 3: that to go through the same stuff for three dollars
Speaker 3: as you do for three million dollars is ridiculous. So
Speaker 3: they just want to see the will, and they want
Speaker 3: to see that it is being distributed properly and that
Speaker 3: you're not trying to screw the other errors. Sure, except
Speaker 3: and I know you're not doing this for the three dollars.
Speaker 7: No, I lost them twenty nine years ago, which means
Speaker 7: the estate was closed twenty eight years ago, and my
Speaker 7: parents did not have a updated will, so we had
Speaker 7: to go to court and name me as the personal representative,
Speaker 7: and me and my three brothers agreed to share everything equally.
Speaker 3: And are your three brothers? Are your brothers still alive?
Speaker 14: Yes?
Speaker 3: Well, then you got to divide it by your three brothers.
Speaker 3: You got to divide it by four, I mean four
Speaker 3: divided by Wait, you have three dollars. I'm sorry, it's
Speaker 3: three dollars that they divide by four.
Speaker 7: Seventy five cents. So, well, you know, front this agreement.
Speaker 7: I can charge them thirty dollars an hour to go
Speaker 7: through all of this BS to collect the three dollars?
Speaker 3: Who can you charge that to.
Speaker 7: My brothers?
Speaker 3: Who?
Speaker 7: Because I took an administrated fee as the personal representative
Speaker 7: to get through.
Speaker 3: Of the That's right, that's right, that's right. If they
Speaker 3: truly wanted you to pursue it, and they requested that
Speaker 3: you do it, they would have to pay you for it.
Speaker 3: That's right. But it's you can't just go ahead and
Speaker 3: do it and charge them because you have a fiduciary responsibility.
Speaker 3: So you can't just go and and charge them. You'd
Speaker 3: have to ask your brothers. But you can. You can
Speaker 3: just let it go too. But and I sense it's
Speaker 3: not the three dollars. But I don't understand what you
Speaker 3: want to accomplish truly, what do you want to accomplish?
Speaker 3: Tell me I want to know. I'm a fighter too.
Speaker 3: But I want to know what there is to get
Speaker 3: at the end of this fight.
Speaker 7: Let the punishment fit the cry.
Speaker 3: Well, tell me what that means. Please tell me what
Speaker 3: that means. Okay, but you're not going to accomplish that
Speaker 3: in this particular battle. You need to go to the
Speaker 3: state legislature and have them legislate it. And one of
Speaker 3: the ways to get a bill started in a state
Speaker 3: is to say something that Trump likes it so they
Speaker 3: can vote, so they can do something that he dislikes.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe you say, you know, Trump would
Speaker 3: never go for this, but we should make it easier
Speaker 3: for people to get their money so Dose doesn't take it.
Speaker 3: I'm joking. What I'm saying, Mike is you're not going
Speaker 3: to get anybody who cares. You want to know the truth.
Speaker 3: Go to the state legislation. Nobody's going to care about
Speaker 3: the inheritance laws in the state of Colorado for his
Speaker 3: CHET funds at this point.
Speaker 14: Right so.
Speaker 7: Ever, and take up space on the state server.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not taking it, you know. Yeah, Mike, tell
Speaker 3: me what your what what is your goal here? Truly?
Speaker 3: Why are you so? Why is this taking up so
Speaker 3: much real estate in your brain? What's going on with it.
Speaker 3: It's just is there something more?
Speaker 16: Tom, It's a matter of principle for Mike, I've tried
Speaker 16: to apply for the car.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, so the principle a principle, Okay, what's the principle?
Speaker 3: There's not even a good principle.
Speaker 16: Nobody's trying to get the word out over the over
Speaker 16: the air that maybe some citizens will complain to the
Speaker 16: Colorado'll pay back and simplify the process. I know he's
Speaker 16: know where he's coming from. I've tried to get some
Speaker 16: money from some.
Speaker 3: I never said, I never said I don't understand the process,
Speaker 3: and I do, and I think it's ridiculous. I totally agree.
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is when is it worth fighting
Speaker 3: for principle when okay, there are times is the one
Speaker 3: are we going to go and change the way the
Speaker 3: Great Colorado Payback distributes the states? Because first of all,
Speaker 3: what they're doing is entirely properly proper. So what we
Speaker 3: have to do is come up with an amount at
Speaker 3: which it's improper. I think up to one hundred dollars
Speaker 3: would be safe. Are there, by the way, are you
Speaker 3: know wouldn't that be safe? Up to one hundred bucks. Look,
Speaker 3: if someone's going to go through the time and energy
Speaker 3: to rob their siblings of that part of one hundred dollars,
Speaker 3: let him fight it out. First of all, I don't
Speaker 3: even think they should need to know the siblings because
Speaker 3: he's a personal representative. So the part I disagree with
Speaker 3: them is this, if he's the personal representative, he can
Speaker 3: take that money and do what he wants with it.
Speaker 3: If he doesn't distribute it properly. That's not on the
Speaker 3: state that the siblings can come after him personally. That's
Speaker 3: where it should be in the civil law. It's not
Speaker 3: the state's responsible ability to see that a will is
Speaker 3: distributed properly. It isn't. All they have to do is
Speaker 3: get it to the personal representative, and he made that
Speaker 3: very very easy for them to do. You started a
Speaker 3: brand new estate, right I think he said he did,
Speaker 3: But he's not on now. So three oh three seven, one,
