Speaker 4: life that help us, and we also take them on
Speaker 4: and investigate them. I want to start out with Mario,
Speaker 4: who has a problem with a stock app. Mario, I'm
Speaker 4: well familiar with a lot of the stock apps, being
Speaker 4: in the securities business. I am a registered financial advisor
Speaker 4: representative with my company, and there are a lot of
Speaker 4: apps out there that promise a lot of things.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about, Mario.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just trying to see if this is like.
Speaker 6: Legit, like accurate, and it's not just something that my
Speaker 6: you know, that's on my uncle's phone.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what are you talking about now, sir?
Speaker 6: So I just want to see if like I don't
Speaker 6: know where my uncle had his performance. Uh, I'm sorry
Speaker 6: his portfolio at because like I said, uh, I'm new
Speaker 6: to this. I don't know anything about the stock really,
Speaker 6: so I only know it is just like it's a
Speaker 6: Yahoo Finance app and when I click on it, it
Speaker 6: shows me his perform his profile performance. Yes, when he's
Speaker 6: his network, his word. Yes, the kind of tracked this
Speaker 6: down to see you work.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Yahoo the Yahoo app, if it's the genuine
Speaker 4: Yahoo app, it's yeah, it's a it's okay if it's
Speaker 4: a genuine Yahoo Finance app. And what that does is
Speaker 4: track performance, but it doesn't help him make trades or anything.
Speaker 4: Were you talking? Is that what you're talking about though?
Speaker 4: His his Yahoo app?
Speaker 6: Well, well, what I'm talking about is like the scene
Speaker 6: is like I know it. It doesn't make tay m
Speaker 6: and stuff because you know, he just passed away November first,
Speaker 6: So yeah, left me and my auntie, you know, like right.
Speaker 4: Okay, so do you know let me ask you something, Mario.
Speaker 4: Do you know where he kept his portfolio?
Speaker 5: Well, uh, it's when before he had passed told me
Speaker 5: that this.
Speaker 6: On his phone, and he had the laptop and he
Speaker 6: showed me on the phone.
Speaker 7: That this was his what he was worth.
Speaker 8: You know the app he show.
Speaker 4: Right, it's what he's I understand, that's what he's worth.
Speaker 4: It was tracking his net worth. But that's not where
Speaker 4: the money is domesticated. Somewhere the money is actually warehoused
Speaker 4: and I don't know where his money was. They have
Speaker 4: it's called a custodial it's called a custodial account.
Speaker 1: For example.
Speaker 4: For example, my company advises people, but we keep the money.
Speaker 4: We don't keep the money at a local bank. We
Speaker 4: keep the money at Schwab, but it's in each client's name.
Speaker 4: So each client they have an account as Schwab and
Speaker 4: then we help them invest that money. But it's the
Speaker 4: money is held at Schwab and they can log in
Speaker 4: at any time and do anything they want with their account.
Speaker 4: So even though he used Yahoo Finance to track it,
Speaker 4: they did not They did not have his money. His
Speaker 4: money had to have been somewhere else. The custodial You
Speaker 4: have to find out who had custodial rights to his money,
Speaker 4: Like have you gone through his papers? Like who did
Speaker 4: he use as a financial advisor or did he do
Speaker 4: it himself?
Speaker 6: Well, he did it himself, but he did have a
Speaker 6: Fidelity Investments.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, good, they're legit.
Speaker 4: Why don't you call Fidelity and ask them about his account?
Speaker 1: He has an account. Do you have his account number?
Speaker 6: Well, now it's it's our account because they closed his
Speaker 6: account down since he's been gone. They they opened it
Speaker 6: up account in my name, in Miyanti's name.
Speaker 4: Okay, so they already Okay, then then you're making progress, Mario.
Speaker 1: So what do you need that?
Speaker 4: That's exactly what they were supposed to do, transfer to
Speaker 4: the heirs.
Speaker 1: Now what Yeah?
Speaker 6: So now, I mean there's only a certain amount of
Speaker 6: money in each of our like fifty fifty you know,
Speaker 6: our her account, my account, but uh, there's this up,
Speaker 6: there's this, this, the rest of this large amount, you know.
Speaker 6: So I'm just trying to figure out who has this?
Speaker 6: Uh swab Mario Margo or well.
Speaker 4: Mario, when you went to Fidelity, you said they opened
Speaker 4: two accounts, right, yeah, how much did? How much is
Speaker 4: in each account?
Speaker 9: Okay?
Speaker 6: Well in each account?
Speaker 5: Supposedly there was.
Speaker 6: Six hundred thousand in my auntie's account and then six
Speaker 6: hundred thousand of my account.
Speaker 4: But did you say one hundred in hers and six
Speaker 4: hundred in yours.
Speaker 6: No, No, she had six hundred thousand in her account
Speaker 6: six hundred thousand in my account. That's what they said, okay,
Speaker 6: which was fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1: But here's okay.
Speaker 6: So I gave her some of the money out of
Speaker 6: my account. And then when the one, uh, the issue
Speaker 6: on that part, because this is a different scenario now,
Speaker 6: the issue on that part was a the Asian from
Speaker 6: Fidelity said that I went through all my money and
Speaker 6: I started going through her money, and I was like, no,
Speaker 6: because she had she still had a little over five
Speaker 6: hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: So you know, Mario, listen, listen there. If they opened
Speaker 1: two accounts.
Speaker 4: One in your name and one in her name, there's
Speaker 4: no way you could have started going through her money.
Speaker 1: How long ago did your uncle die? How long ago
Speaker 1: did your uncle die?
Speaker 10: First?
Speaker 1: No, Ma, and have you been have you been spending
Speaker 1: the money?
Speaker 11: Well on the family?
Speaker 6: I've been, you know, spending money on her and the
Speaker 6: other family. They said, I've been taking a substantial amount
Speaker 6: of money, which I know I've been taking like eighty
Speaker 6: thousand here, seventy dozen there, but all that.
Speaker 4: Much, well, Mario, Mario, you're going to go through Mario.
Speaker 4: That's not what you were supposed to do. If you
Speaker 4: wanted to keep that money working for you, you should
Speaker 4: have had it invested. You could have easily gone through
Speaker 4: five or six hundred thousand easily if you're taking seven grand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't you ask, Mario?
Speaker 4: Do you know that you can go online right now
Speaker 4: and you can get a complete breakdown of every single
Speaker 4: transaction in your account online?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Oh okay, yeah, because that's what that lady did. She
Speaker 6: she broke it down and told me where all the
Speaker 6: money that I've took it out. But she don't know
Speaker 6: where all the money went, you know.
Speaker 1: Well, and of course she does it. If you take
Speaker 1: the money out, that's up to you, Mario. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: you need.
Speaker 4: To figure out where the money went. Nobody at Fidelity
Speaker 4: knows where the money went. All they know is that
Speaker 4: you drew the money out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because here's the thing I'm gonna tell you. Okay,
Speaker 6: my uncle right now, his Portfolar performance is at four million,
Speaker 6: nine ninety ninety six dollars in eighty and well it
Speaker 6: goes an now it's fifty one cent.
Speaker 5: But so he has that, you know, where.
Speaker 4: Okay, where does he have? If you Mario, if you
Speaker 4: got Mario, listen to me. If you got six hundred
Speaker 4: thousand and your your auntie got six hundred, okay, that's
Speaker 4: one point too.
Speaker 1: Let's say roughly a million. Where's the rest of the money.
Speaker 6: That's what I'm trying to find out.
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't your auntie, No, he said, it's not
Speaker 1: with him.
Speaker 6: No, it's only me because my uncle was teaching me
Speaker 6: how to do the stock and all that, and.
Speaker 1: You know, and you don't know how to find out
Speaker 1: where the money is. You know what.
Speaker 4: That's a good question. Hold on a second. I'm going
Speaker 4: to try to figure out. Just hold on a second.
Speaker 4: That's a very good question. You can't find any kind
Speaker 4: of paperwork anywhere that this guy has that might give
Speaker 4: you an indication where his money is. He had some
Speaker 4: of it at Fidelity, but Fidelity says the big bulk
Speaker 4: of it's not with Fidelity.
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 7: That's right?
Speaker 6: He said it might be a swab, So I got
Speaker 6: to figure out this.
Speaker 1: Well, of course it might be a schwab. It might
Speaker 1: be anywhere. Hold on, just hold on.
Speaker 4: I'm going to try to get someone who knows about
Speaker 4: no notice how to track down assets, because that's a
Speaker 4: good question, it really is. So you hang on and
Speaker 4: I'm going to do that. I'm going to call one
Speaker 4: of my sources in the business to see if they
Speaker 4: know how to track down assets. Three o three seven

Speaker 4: I put together some news stories you're not going to

Speaker 4: talk about price Line. Mario, I'm getting an expert on,
Speaker 4: so hang on, Okay, Yeah, about tracking assets, John with
Speaker 4: pride about price Line? John, what's going on about price Line?
Speaker 7: We had a rented a room here this past Monday
Speaker 7: night and we got to the room, got to the hotel,
Speaker 7: get in the room. It's supposed to have a microwave
Speaker 7: and refrigerator, and it didn't. So we called down to
Speaker 7: the print desk and they say that there have no
Speaker 7: other rooms available, that we need to call a price line.
Speaker 7: So we call price line. Priceline says they you know, they.
Speaker 12: They have to call it.
Speaker 7: That called my wife back three or four different times,
Speaker 7: and they said that they will email a either a
Speaker 7: compensation or a refund for the amenities not being there
Speaker 7: that the pay for.
Speaker 1: Now what were the amenities? The price the microwave and
Speaker 1: what else? Refrigerator, refrigerator.
Speaker 4: Okay, so they said, we're sorry, but we'll give you
Speaker 4: a compensation.
Speaker 1: How much did they say they would send you?
Speaker 7: They they didn't say that. We've been arguing with them,
Speaker 7: calling them back all week, and last night they told
Speaker 7: my wife that they will give her a twenty percent
Speaker 7: off coupon. I'm like, well, that's not good enough. We
Speaker 7: paid for the refrigerator and microwave in the room and
Speaker 7: it wasn't there.
Speaker 5: We had a bunch of like two hundred.
Speaker 7: Dollars with the food that went bad over this, and yeah,
Speaker 7: all they were willing off with a twenty percent just gut.
Speaker 7: I'm like, okay, if you order a cheeseburger and you
Speaker 7: get a hamburger, aren't going to go back in you want,
Speaker 7: you want your cheeburger, you want me you pay for now.
Speaker 4: John, John, you are absolutely right in wanting to make
Speaker 4: this right. Okay, I understand exactly what you're saying. Putting
Speaker 4: a price on it's going to be difficult because that
Speaker 4: the two hundred dollars in food, I don't think you're
Speaker 4: ever going to get. How much do you want from
Speaker 4: price line? How much do you want from them?
Speaker 7: We would like a room somewhere else, would as a
Speaker 7: microavity refigerator.
Speaker 4: So in other words, you okay, but but did you
Speaker 4: say that the room that you got had no value?
Speaker 4: In other words, you want them to basically fill that
Speaker 4: order one hundred and you're kind of saying that the
Speaker 4: current the room that you had had no value.
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 7: And we didn't get what we paid for pretty much.
Speaker 1: Right, But you did get some of what you paid for.
Speaker 1: You got a room, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we did have a bed, yes.
Speaker 4: So what I'm saying is is there a can you
Speaker 4: come up with some kind of an adjustment what you know?
Speaker 4: Maybe it's not twenty percent off, I don't know, but
Speaker 4: maybe something less than the full amount. They're not going
Speaker 4: to give you the full refund. They're just not going
Speaker 4: to do it, and and they're not going to pay
Speaker 4: for your food. So I'm asking you what would be satisfactory?
Speaker 7: Do you have would be fine?
Speaker 1: So you feel that.
Speaker 4: A microwave and refrigerator are worth half of the value.
Speaker 1: Of a room?
Speaker 7: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Okay? Hey, and and price Line? Do they have a
Speaker 1: do you have someone you've been talking to?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 12: Several people?
Speaker 7: Several people? Actually, do you.
Speaker 1: Have one particular person we can call for you?
Speaker 7: I don't remember any names exactly.

Speaker 4: somewhere we can start. I'm gonna have Deputy Dollar. By

Speaker 4: you know Metallica. We're gonna have Deputy Dollar, one of
Speaker 4: our deputies, call price Line and try to negotiate something
Speaker 4: better than that twenty percent off. I don't think half
Speaker 4: I personally, listen, I'm not going to tell them this,
Speaker 4: but between you and me.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's half.
Speaker 4: I think I think maybe it's worth twenty five percent.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You really put a lot of stock on that Microwaven refrigerator.
Speaker 1: Didn't you, bro?
Speaker 9: I did?

Speaker 13: She kicked me out at least five six times a
Speaker 13: year for the life.
Speaker 1: But why?
Speaker 4: But why do you get drunk? Is there something she
Speaker 4: doesn't like about you? Why does she kick you out.
Speaker 13: Because she doesn't like me? Okay, I mean that's pretty simple.
Speaker 1: And when you were kicked out of the house, did
Speaker 1: you ever go back?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Every time?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: And so this last time when you were kicked out,

Speaker 1: went on the street.
Speaker 16: Well, I know it didn't. I promise you, I promise you.
Speaker 1: Okay, the engine dropped out on the street.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, why did it do?
Speaker 1: Wait? Were you getting oil changes and regular maintenance?
Speaker 16: It wasn't do yet because I only had so now
Speaker 16: it only has sixteen, three hundred and ninety one miles
Speaker 16: on it and it's been at the mechanic for three months.
Speaker 7: Maybe going on.
Speaker 4: Okay, Cynthia, Cynthia, we got it. We got to talk. Okay,
Speaker 4: let me get this straight. So, okay, in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: last year, you buy this car and you're driving around,
Speaker 4: you love it. On April first of this year, the
Speaker 4: engine drops out.
Speaker 1: Onto the street. So what did you do? Did you
Speaker 1: call a tow truck?
Speaker 16: I had to call a toad?
Speaker 7: Shock?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And where was it? Toad? Where did you have it?
Speaker 1: Toad to Larry H. Miller? Okay, because that's where you.
Speaker 16: Bought it, right right?
Speaker 18: So I figured they would.
Speaker 16: Take care of it.
Speaker 1: And what did they do?
Speaker 20: Well?
Speaker 16: They diagnosed it for two hundred and fifty dollars. They said, well,
Speaker 16: did you get an accident? Nope, I was not in
Speaker 16: an accident.
Speaker 1: It dropped out.
Speaker 16: So then my sister said, well, let's have it towed
Speaker 16: over to Extreme Motor.
Speaker 7: They're very reputable.
Speaker 18: So I had to have it toad again.
Speaker 1: So well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 4: So so Larry H. Miller did not see anything. They
Speaker 4: were responsible for. It wasn't under warranty, and I don't
Speaker 4: blame them. It was like a year later. They can't
Speaker 4: be responsible for this, right.
Speaker 16: I bought an extended warranty that they would not honor.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, why didn't they honor the extended warranty.
Speaker 16: I'm not sure because they said it didn't have anything
Speaker 16: to do with the drive train or the electrical The
Speaker 16: drive chain actually is the end in right.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute.
Speaker 4: The engine drops out of the car, and they said
Speaker 4: they had nothing to do with the drive train.
Speaker 16: Right, But it broke all the bull It broke all
Speaker 16: the axles, and it broke the most Oh the.
Speaker 1: Hell does something like this? Hold on a second.
Speaker 4: I hate to stack this up on you, Kelly, because
Speaker 4: you have Metallica hangover too. But we really need to
Speaker 4: get We really need to get Kevin Coulkin on.
Speaker 1: We really do.
Speaker 4: Okay, hold on a second here, I need to put
Speaker 4: this down. We need to get Kevin on. We need
Speaker 4: to talk about this. This is crazy. So you took
Speaker 4: it over to another place, and what did they do?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 16: And they diagnosed it and they said their pothole couldn't
Speaker 16: have dumbe not They said it had to have prior damage.
Speaker 16: So they said, well probably, And where was.
Speaker 1: This who told you this?

Speaker 1: Hi Tom Martino, you're a troubleshooter. I want to go
Speaker 1: to one of my partners at Wave eight and there's
Speaker 1: a reason.
Speaker 4: Wave eight Financial our wealth management, and the reason is
Speaker 4: is because we have this question that comes up a
Speaker 4: lot on finding assets and how to find him. So
Speaker 4: I want to bring him up. And this is uh
Speaker 4: Pat Jolliffe, Pat my uh my chief operations off Pat.
Speaker 4: So this guy dies and Fidelity they knew he had
Speaker 4: something in Fidelity, so Fidelity split the account to both
Speaker 4: heirs as they should have according to the beneficiary. But
Speaker 4: now they say, Mario, you believe there's another four million
Speaker 4: out there?
Speaker 14: Right?
Speaker 1: Or another five?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, okay, another four or five million out there. So, Pat,
Speaker 4: if he came to as a client and said, my
Speaker 4: uncle has four or five million out there, he's dead
Speaker 4: and me and the anti are the heirs, what what
Speaker 4: would you tell him? How would you find the money?
Speaker 21: I'd look at the tax return?
Speaker 4: Oh, very good, Pat, that you get a dinger for
Speaker 4: that one man.
Speaker 1: So so I never thought of that. Did you look
Speaker 1: at the tax return to see the ten ninety nine's Mario,
Speaker 1: that's the answer. That's the answer right there, that's the answer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So look.
Speaker 22: At the tax red more than likely, yeah, because whether
Speaker 22: it was all had money or non qualified.
Speaker 1: Pat, explain to him, explain to him.
Speaker 4: And I got to give you know, I got to
Speaker 4: give kudos to Pat who came up with that in
Speaker 4: like his second So explain to him. Let me give
Speaker 4: him the dinger here. So anyway, explain to him how
Speaker 4: that works. Where where you look at the tax return?
Speaker 4: What are you looking for?
Speaker 22: So on your tax return you're looking for dividends and
Speaker 22: interest particlease it relates to a non qualified account, that's
Speaker 22: a non IRA or something of that nature. He would
Speaker 22: get a form ten ninety nine. He would have received
Speaker 22: a form ten ninety nine for the tax here and
Speaker 22: be reported on schedul D on the tax return, so
Speaker 22: you see it there. Then if there's any qualified money
Speaker 22: like iras and so forth, any distributions out of a
Speaker 22: qualified account like that would also generate.
Speaker 15: A form ten nine.
Speaker 22: I really think that's probably the best record to check first.
Speaker 4: Okay, So then and the tax return, for example, there
Speaker 4: would be a ten ninety nine, for example from Schwab,
Speaker 4: and that would tell you there's an account at Schwab
Speaker 4: and there's a ten ninety nine issued for each account.
Speaker 1: Is that right? That's correct.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 22: For any activity or distributions, anything that would be a
Speaker 22: taxable event, it's going to trigger a ten ninety nine.
Speaker 1: Mario, I think we got the answer right there.
Speaker 4: Let me get let me give Pat the dinger. Pat
Speaker 4: deserves that dinger for coming up with that so quickly. Hey, listen, No, no, seriously,
Speaker 4: thanks for calling Mario. That's the best advice anyone can give.
Speaker 4: Call back if you have any other questions on it,
Speaker 4: But start there and then call us back and Pat
Speaker 4: can help you.
Speaker 1: And by the way, if anyone.
Speaker 4: Ever wants to get in touch with Pat at my
Speaker 4: at my company, it's three h three seven seven to one.
Speaker 4: Help he'd be happy to give you free advice and
Speaker 4: information if you need it for like this A three

Speaker 4: if you want to free look at your portfolio.
Speaker 1: Now let's go back to this one.
Speaker 4: We've been working on this Cynthia, this Fiat so Cynthia,
Speaker 4: this is weird. So you got this Fiat and the
Speaker 4: engine falls on the street, You tag a toed to
Speaker 4: the dealer, They won't honor the extended warranty. Then you
Speaker 4: took it to Extreme Auto. So what was Extreme Auto's conclusion?
Speaker 16: They concluded that there's no way hitting a pothole would
Speaker 16: it caused that much damage? And it was probably the
Speaker 16: people who owned it before Hilary Schueler said this was
Speaker 16: a great car.
Speaker 18: This is a car for you.
Speaker 16: The car has it has such slow miles well because
Speaker 16: it was being total So what.
Speaker 1: Did Extreme think it was? Though?
Speaker 4: Did did the motor mounts rot out? Or what can
Speaker 4: we talk? Is it possible to talk to the guy
Speaker 4: at Extreme would you give us his number to talk to?
Speaker 1: I N Kevin.
Speaker 4: I want to ask you from Sheridan Auto Tech. Kevin,
Speaker 4: have you ever heard literally of an engine falling out
Speaker 4: of a car?
Speaker 11: The only way I can see it happening is that
Speaker 11: if there was damage to the subframe and the subframe
Speaker 11: hold the engine in. So the subframe failed and dropped
Speaker 11: it out and the engine and transmission came with it.
Speaker 11: So there had to be damaged to the bolts of
Speaker 11: the subme something let go. But yeah, it doesn't just
Speaker 11: fall out.
Speaker 4: No, okay, And this wouldn't be covered by an extended warranty,
Speaker 4: wouldn't it for most warranties you know about, right, No.
Speaker 11: Because it's collision. Okay, I had to have hit somewhere.
Speaker 4: Now the question is now the question is did they
Speaker 4: know about the collision?
Speaker 1: Did they cover up? Okay?
Speaker 4: Thank you, Kevin, Bonnie Shields real quick, thank you for
Speaker 4: taking time out, Bonnie. If if a wife just kicks
Speaker 4: a guy out of the house, just kicks him out,
Speaker 4: he has no money, she even makes more money than him.
Speaker 4: I mean, doesn't he have a right to be at
Speaker 4: home unless there's a restraining order?
Speaker 1: I mean, she doesn't have a right to just do.
Speaker 7: That, right, that's correct.
Speaker 1: So what does he do? He's out on his butt
Speaker 1: right now, he doesn't have anything. What does he do?
Speaker 18: I mean, tell not legally stoving him from moving back
Speaker 18: into the house. The issue with that, or the problem
Speaker 18: with that is if he moves back in there and
Speaker 18: she doesn't want him there. I always worry about people
Speaker 18: making false allegations to get there by or that's right here.
Speaker 18: So if he's going to move back in there, you know,
Speaker 18: it's not illegal to record somebody in the state of
Speaker 18: Colorado as long as one person.
Speaker 1: So he can prove he's not doing anything wrong. Okay.
Speaker 4: Can he do any kind of emergency He filed for divorce? Okay,
Speaker 4: this happened on Wednesday. He filed for divorce right away.
Speaker 4: Is there a way to do emergency orders where possibly
Speaker 4: she might even have to chip in and help him?
Speaker 18: I really doubt the course or shoe back stuff. I
Speaker 18: don't think for that you generally have to do with
Speaker 18: children and children in danger.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 18: Ask for where to go. I mean it's possible, you
Speaker 18: can certainly why.
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. Hey, hey, Randy, Okay, thank

Speaker 1: No Tom Martino, Hey.
Speaker 4: Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three
Speaker 4: seven one three talk seven one three eight two five
Speaker 4: five Hey listen. The EPA announced The Environmental Production Agency
Speaker 4: announced it's issuing the first time for the first time,
Speaker 4: national regulation limiting the amount.
Speaker 1: Of certain poly but.
Speaker 4: Pi fas is what they're called found in drinking water.
Speaker 4: Commonly called forever chemicals, PIFAs are synthetic chemicals found nearly
Speaker 4: everywhere in the air, water, and soil. Now here's what's
Speaker 4: really funny. Paul the Waterman is here to speak truth,
Speaker 4: and I want to just quickly do this. We'll go
Speaker 4: on to your calls and then come back to this. Paul,
Speaker 4: you told me they can put out all the standards
Speaker 4: they want. They don't even have the accurate way to
Speaker 4: test and to regulate, and they're putting out standards local
Speaker 4: municipalities can't meet.
Speaker 15: Correct, that's absolutely correct, tom.
Speaker 8: So what happened was just recently the EPA unregulated gen x,
Speaker 8: which is a PIFAs.
Speaker 15: Gen X is extremely dangerous.
Speaker 8: What unregulated contaminants means is that local municipalities don't test
Speaker 8: for them.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, here's what we're getting at.
Speaker 4: They put out these PIFI or let's just say forever chemicals.
Speaker 4: They put out these standards that the local municipalities.
Speaker 1: Don't have the equipment to.
Speaker 4: In other words, they can't complain to the federal standards.
Speaker 8: You can't comply, and that's why they've extended out the
Speaker 8: timeline and so possible.
Speaker 1: So you said something though, that is very telling. So
Speaker 1: because the local municipalities can't comply, the EPA simply takes
Speaker 1: some of them and erases them.
Speaker 15: Correct, So they're still it.
Speaker 1: Erases them from the regulation.
Speaker 8: Right, they're still in the water. But then if if
Speaker 8: they're not reported, if you can't test for something, you
Speaker 8: don't report it.
Speaker 4: So if it's not regulated, the municipality doesn't have to
Speaker 4: test for it, and if they don't have to test
Speaker 4: for it, we have no idea how much is in
Speaker 4: the water.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 15: That's it. That's the cover up.
Speaker 1: That's the bottom line.
Speaker 4: The EPA says, Oh, you mean to tell me you
Speaker 4: can't get rid of this, this, and this.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll stop testing for it.
Speaker 15: That's It's, honest to.
Speaker 1: God, Paul, that's it.
Speaker 4: There's I mean, really and truly, I'm a federal government
Speaker 4: truly just erased some of the forever chemicals from the regulation.
Speaker 1: Absolutely correct, Okay, Now, so.
Speaker 4: The only way to get rid of them, truly, let's
Speaker 4: just say it like it is.
Speaker 1: Is with a good water system.
Speaker 15: Right, you could do it.
Speaker 8: You can do a point of view traverse osmosis, we
Speaker 8: can do a whole house a nine system, or we
Speaker 8: could do what we what we offered that echo promax,
Speaker 8: you know, removed the total.
Speaker 1: Thirty nine ninety five. Right, that'll do it all right, anyway,
Speaker 1: that's Paul the Waterman. Three oh three eight six two
Speaker 1: five five five four.
Speaker 4: Let's go back to the phones on your calls on anything,
Speaker 4: and we left off with some stuff. But really Robberts next,
Speaker 4: Now this is a follow up?
Speaker 1: Robert, who was working with you on this?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 12: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Did did? When it's marked as a follow up?
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering were we were we helping you with this?
Speaker 4: Was one of our deputies working with you?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, so Tom he was a call in on Friday.
Speaker 1: Oh in the show. Okay, now I got a follow up? Okay,
Speaker 1: now I got you.
Speaker 4: Okay, Robert, why don't we just start from the beginning,
Speaker 4: go ahead with your story?
Speaker 9: Okay?
Speaker 12: I uh bought the clutch for the car because it's
Speaker 12: a sport car vet so it takes.
Speaker 1: A special fly will Yes it does.
Speaker 4: Now here's what I want to ask you. Was this
Speaker 4: a new clutch rebuilt or how was it?
Speaker 12: No, it's a brand new Ram clutch.
Speaker 4: A brand new Ram clutch. Okay, a brand new Ram clutch.
Speaker 4: And what happened?
Speaker 12: So I talked to the place where I took it
Speaker 12: and he said he could do the job.
Speaker 1: So I but you bought you didn't buy it.
Speaker 4: You didn't buy it from the guy that was going
Speaker 4: to install it. You bought it and took it to
Speaker 4: the guy to install it.
Speaker 12: Yes, okay, keep going to buy it from Ecklers, So okay.
Speaker 12: I talked to him in April. I made the point
Speaker 12: for May nineteenth, I took the car in and all
Speaker 12: I did was get a run around, and then I
Speaker 12: finally picked it up on June fourth, and I had
Speaker 12: to take it back the next day because you couldn't
Speaker 12: drive it the way it was?
Speaker 1: So how long did he take? How long was there?
Speaker 1: How long was your car in the shop?
Speaker 12: Well, the first time it was there a little.
Speaker 1: Over a month, okay.
Speaker 7: Then I took him back and he said it would
Speaker 7: be two hours. So I talked to him last Thursday,
Speaker 7: and the first thing out of his mouth was, oh,
Speaker 7: you come in to give me some more money.
Speaker 1: Hey, Robert. He was probably just kidding back, but Robert,
Speaker 1: I got to ask a question that's pretty obvious. When
Speaker 1: you picked it up June fourth, what was wrong with it?
Speaker 9: First?
Speaker 7: And second vibrated so bad you.
Speaker 12: Couldn't drive it that way?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 9: And the motor was.
Speaker 12: Idling at two thousand rpm and that fouled the plug.
Speaker 12: And that was before I even picked it up.
Speaker 1: Okay, so did he fix all of that?
Speaker 9: Nope?
Speaker 1: What's the condition? What's the condition of your car right now?
Speaker 21: Not drivable?
Speaker 1: Okay? And this guy, how much have you paid this guy?
Speaker 12: Twenty five let's say, twenty five, twenty five, twenty four,
Speaker 12: seventy two.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're right down to the penny. Listen. That was
Speaker 1: just for installation, yes, And he said he had to.
Speaker 12: Modify the bell housing because the clutch that he put
Speaker 12: in has a hydraulic off Berry and I don't modifying
Speaker 12: the I.
Speaker 1: Want to find out. Okay.
Speaker 4: So twenty five hundred dollars for installation and it still
Speaker 4: isn't running.
Speaker 1: What does he say he's going to do?
Speaker 12: He says it's supposed to be fixed this week. But
Speaker 12: he's told me that before, and from what I gather,
Speaker 12: he's told that to a lot of people.
Speaker 1: How did you what is the name of the.
Speaker 12: Shop, Colorado Performance, and how did.
Speaker 1: You find them? Was it online?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 12: I actually had to take my diesel to the muffler
Speaker 12: shop right next door to get the.
Speaker 1: Missed Okay, I got it.
Speaker 12: They told me to talk to them.
Speaker 4: Okay, I want you to hold on. I want to
Speaker 4: get another expert opinion here. Kelly I want to get
Speaker 4: Kevin on for a couple of questions to see where
Speaker 4: we go from here. Hold on, Robert, We're gonna get
Speaker 4: We're gonna get Kevin on. So I want you to
Speaker 4: hang on. Three oh three seven one three eight two
Speaker 4: five five. Randy still has some questions about his divorce.
Speaker 1: We had.
Speaker 4: UH our expert on, of course, and I know Randy
Speaker 4: doesn't have any money. He doesn't have anything, and he
Speaker 4: wants to know what to do. His wife kicked him
Speaker 4: out of the house on Wednesday. He filed for divorce,
Speaker 4: and she said he has every legal right Bonnie Shield's law,
Speaker 4: every legal right to move back into the house. Of course,
Speaker 4: he's not supposed to touch her or cause conflict or
Speaker 4: you know, make her feel threatened in any way, but
Speaker 4: she has he has every legal right to be there,
Speaker 4: and UH he can move back in, or he can
Speaker 4: demand that she leave.
Speaker 1: In other words, they're both equal here. And Randy, I know.
Speaker 4: We're not giving you the greatest answers in the world,
Speaker 4: but sometimes there are no perfect answers here.
Speaker 1: So what else did you need to know?
Speaker 13: I am home now.
Speaker 1: I own home, good, good, good, good good.
Speaker 13: Whenever she left, she left me and the kids because
Speaker 13: I've been paying everything for six months. And I told
Speaker 13: her I need help. I'm I'm flat broke. She said, well,
Speaker 13: I ain't giving nothing.
Speaker 1: Okay, So now this is a situation. Now did she
Speaker 1: voluntarily leave?
Speaker 15: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: And when she left, you said you need help with
Speaker 4: the bills.
Speaker 13: I needed help with everything. We just moved into this
Speaker 13: house in January and she's only.
Speaker 1: And and you guys are buying this house. You have
Speaker 1: a mortgage, No, we're renting. Oh okay, Well that's better. Situation,
Speaker 1: like this way better? And what can you not afford?
Speaker 13: Well, like I said, I went through all of my
Speaker 13: money paying everything, and I just couldn't afford rent anymore.
Speaker 13: So whenever I filed for divorce, paid the other bills
Speaker 13: like rent to do and we don't have rent after
Speaker 13: for her app rent?
Speaker 9: She said no.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but but if she's not living there anymore, would
Speaker 4: you pay your half of the rent if you weren't living.
Speaker 13: There, I had underade kids here? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, are the kids still at home?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh, Randy, you got to get now, you can get
Speaker 4: an emergency hearing you Randy, you might have to do
Speaker 4: this yourself. You need to file emotion for an emergency
Speaker 4: hearing to compel your wife to get you, to get
Speaker 4: you part child support or to help with the expenses
Speaker 4: of the kids. She doesn't owe you anything, but she's
Speaker 4: certainly only has to chip in and help with the kids.
Speaker 1: What does she say about how old are your kids?
Speaker 13: Sixteen?
Speaker 1: You got three kids? How many kids you have?
Speaker 13: Do you have three kids? But I do have three kids,
Speaker 13: but two of them are over eighteen? One sixteen?
Speaker 4: Well the only one that okay, so the sixteen year old?
Speaker 4: And what are you falling short on? Rent? And food
Speaker 4: and everything?
Speaker 13: Rent?
Speaker 1: Food?
Speaker 13: I can figure out?
Speaker 9: But does she?
Speaker 4: And she says, and she says, I don't have any
Speaker 4: obligation at all.
Speaker 1: Is that what she's saying.
Speaker 13: She didn't say anything. She says, I don't have the
Speaker 13: money and I have doctors.
Speaker 1: Since where's she living with my other son? Oh man,
Speaker 1: this sucks, Randy. I don't know howse to say this.
Speaker 4: You don't have any money to hire an attorney, right, Nope,
Speaker 4: you're going to have to. And I promise you you're
Speaker 4: going to have to do something where you file emotion
Speaker 4: you have to go down on even if you handwrite
Speaker 4: it to the judge. You can even write a letter.
Speaker 4: I'm not giving you legal advice. I'm telling you what
Speaker 4: people do in desperation. You can write a letter saying,
Speaker 4: you know your honor, my wife moved out and is
Speaker 4: not helping with the kids. I need emotion or I
Speaker 4: need some kind of court order to help her, to
Speaker 4: compel her, or to make her help with the sixteen
Speaker 4: year old child. Now are the two eighteen year olds
Speaker 4: working or are they in school?
Speaker 1: What's their story?
Speaker 13: They're both working. The one has a family, has a
Speaker 13: just had a child in April.
Speaker 1: Are they living with you?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 13: So they that's a whole numb Okay.
Speaker 1: So really there's only one living with you.
Speaker 23: Right now, two one over eighteen and the one understan
Speaker 23: and the other one living with you.
Speaker 1: Is that person help? Is that kid helping you? He
Speaker 1: will yet, Okay, but he.
Speaker 13: Just started a new jobs, so he doesn't end up
Speaker 13: in either.
Speaker 1: Okay, hold on a sec Okay, Randy, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to start.
Speaker 4: Do you know who the judge is in your case?
Speaker 4: And you have your case number?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 13: I do have my case number.
Speaker 1: Yet you need to take.

Speaker 4: a lot going on, so let me get right to
Speaker 4: the phones now. Robert said he had a clutch installed
Speaker 4: and it keeps vibrating.
Speaker 1: It's not done the right way.
Speaker 4: And Kevin, it's a Kevin Caulkin from Sheridan Auto Tech.
Speaker 4: I'm tapping his knowledge once again as my expert. He
Speaker 4: has a C four Corvette and had a new Ram
Speaker 4: clutch put in, but it kept vibrating to a point
Speaker 4: where you could almost not drive it. Well, he said,
Speaker 4: you couldn't drive it? What would call it? And by
Speaker 4: the way, this shop Colorado Performance. I never heard of him,
Speaker 4: but well, I guess I did hear of him. But
Speaker 4: they they charged twenty five around twenty five hundred for installation.
Speaker 4: Does that not for the part, but just for installation?
Speaker 4: Does that sound about in the ballpark.
Speaker 11: It's a little on the high side. But I also
Speaker 11: heard modification. That's the word that triggered when I heard
Speaker 11: what did.
Speaker 1: You what, Robert? What was modified?
Speaker 12: They modified? The bellhousing.
Speaker 1: Why would they do that?
Speaker 12: Come about the hyde gral like throwut bearing?
Speaker 1: Kevin?
Speaker 9: Is that?
Speaker 1: Kevin? Can it be installed without doing that?
Speaker 15: I mean?
Speaker 1: Why was it modified?
Speaker 11: Well, that had to have been not original. That had
Speaker 11: to been some sort of an update or something to
Speaker 11: the clutch because it didn't originally come with a hydraulic
Speaker 11: draw out bearing.
Speaker 9: How did it work intentionally?
Speaker 12: It's a do disc ram with the hyde gral like
Speaker 12: throut bearing.
Speaker 9: Right, So I'm a.
Speaker 7: Hide like Robert?
Speaker 4: What what Kevin is asking? What Kevin is asking? Did
Speaker 4: it come that way? Did you buy it that way?
Speaker 4: Or did you modify it sometime in the past?
Speaker 12: No, I bove it this way. Well, the new clutch
Speaker 12: come this way, not the one.
Speaker 11: Clutch they took out did not. It was not hydraulic. No, no,
Speaker 11: So the one they put in is hydraulics. So they
Speaker 11: had to modify everything to make that work. And I
Speaker 11: think somewhere along the line is probably a bad modification.
Speaker 1: Who did the modification?
Speaker 4: Did the did Colorado performance through the modification?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh many.
Speaker 11: Anytime we hear modifications we pass we don't get involved
Speaker 11: in them because this is what happens.
Speaker 4: Okay, But would you be able to let's just say,
Speaker 4: for grins, do you unscrew up things like this?
Speaker 11: Well, you can't use this clutch, probably if you want
Speaker 11: to go back to the original clutch. But I just
Speaker 11: don't have the experience with these to be comfortable doing
Speaker 11: it right right modifications?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay? So how much did that clutch costs you?
Speaker 12: Robert ten one hundred and fifty bucks?
Speaker 1: What if you can't use it? I mean, what if
Speaker 1: the modification is just bad and they can't fix it,
Speaker 1: what are you going to do about it?
Speaker 12: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Well, Robert, that's what if they say it's going to
Speaker 1: be fixed this week?
Speaker 4: I am sure. Have they done modifications like this before?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 12: I presume they have because the owner has a Corvette
Speaker 12: and it's a performance shop. They said they could do anything.
Speaker 4: Okay, So Robert, before you found them or did you
Speaker 4: find them first and then go out and look for
Speaker 4: the clutch or did you buy the clutch first?
Speaker 12: I had the clutch on no, or before Avean set
Speaker 12: it up?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: So my question is this, before you put the clutch
Speaker 4: on order, it had the original clutch in it, right, Yes?
Speaker 4: Why did you decide to go with the hydraulic throwout.
Speaker 12: Well because of the gold disk.
Speaker 1: Well did you read about it?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Were you part of a club? Where where did this
Speaker 1: come to you?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 12: Because the motor is modified, it's a three D three stroker,
Speaker 12: it's a brand new motor, and the that was put
Speaker 12: in it was to Scarbie. You couldn't back up and
Speaker 12: it was starting to vibrate going forward.
Speaker 4: Okay, So you so main did you buy did you
Speaker 4: buy it? Was it already was this engine already customized
Speaker 4: when you bought it?
Speaker 1: Or did you buy did you match that up?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 12: I had Western Engine do the motor, and then Brighton
Speaker 12: Augul Bobby put it back in the car with okay, Bud, Okay,
Speaker 12: you couldn't get the clutch to break in.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: So you know, Kevin, I often find this when different
Speaker 4: people are working on a car for major projects. I
Speaker 4: think you have to have one master to like coordinate
Speaker 4: it all.
Speaker 1: I really do.
Speaker 4: I mean he's kind of he's kind of freelance, and
Speaker 4: he's taking it one place and then to another, and
Speaker 4: then they're trying.
Speaker 1: To figure out what the previous people did. I mean
Speaker 1: it's a mess.
Speaker 4: When you customize like this, you need a custom shop
Speaker 4: that'll watch the whole project from beginning to end. So really,
Speaker 4: I I don't think Colorado Performance. I'm not sure they're
Speaker 4: doing anything wrong.
Speaker 1: Kevin.
Speaker 4: I think that they're probably dealing with things they encountered.
Speaker 1: Is that possible?
Speaker 9: I agree?
Speaker 11: And they said they're going to work on it, so
Speaker 11: you know, you almost got to give in the benefit
Speaker 11: of the doubt until you can't. But you know, at.
Speaker 4: Least how many shots did they have at it?
Speaker 1: Robert?
Speaker 12: I ended up writing all the Bobby I have is
Speaker 12: it corbec connected?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: No, I'm asking how many shots did Colorado Performance have
Speaker 4: on installation of this clutch?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 12: They had, Oh of me.
Speaker 15: I'm not talking now.
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about how long they had it, how
Speaker 4: many times they installed it once and then it had
Speaker 4: a bad vibration. And what they're doing this week is
Speaker 4: number two attempt.
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 15: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, what I would do, Kevin, I think you got
Speaker 1: to agree with me on this. This is only going
Speaker 1: to be their second shot.
Speaker 11: Yeah, they got to get a chance. Maybe they can
Speaker 11: figure it out.
Speaker 4: Now what I would Robert, you can call us back
Speaker 4: and then we'll get an expert maybe to look at it.
Speaker 4: But after just one attempt for goodness sakes, and this
Speaker 4: is going to be their second attempt.
Speaker 1: I would let them try it and just say.
Speaker 4: Look, you know, you know, just play with them on this,
Speaker 4: because really you have to give them a chance. Then
Speaker 4: we can always have an expert look at it. But
Speaker 4: right now I would keep it where it is. Kevincalkins

Speaker 24: It was actually about the middle of May.
Speaker 1: The middle of May, and it was about and it
Speaker 1: was about cataracts. Tell me what happened?
Speaker 9: Was it?
Speaker 4: Was it Colorado Eye Clinic for dry eyes? Yes, and
Speaker 4: they sold you a dry eye mask for one thousand
Speaker 4: dollars right, and you found online where you could buy
Speaker 4: it for like eighty seven bucks right right?
Speaker 24: Oh wow, I can't, I cannot. I have called the doctor.
Speaker 24: He doesn't answer the phone. I said, you know, let's
Speaker 24: take care of this like adults. I'll bring back the
Speaker 24: mask and you return my thousand dollars. I never got
Speaker 24: a call back. I did send to the DPO or
Speaker 24: I'm sorry, Dora, I've never heard anything from them.
Speaker 4: Well, Cynthia, let's let's talk about this, okay, And I
Speaker 4: want to step back and talk about it because I'm
Speaker 4: not saying I agree with this, but they did nothing
Speaker 4: technically wrong. I mean, I think they did a ton
Speaker 4: of stuff wrong as far as ethics and all of that,
Speaker 4: But technically, what did they do wrong?
Speaker 1: Technically?
Speaker 4: They sold you an imass that you bought willingly for
Speaker 4: one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Then you went on later and found out.
Speaker 4: It's and are you positive it's the same exact one
Speaker 4: for eighty seven ninety nine?
Speaker 24: Yes, I checked the number and everything on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Did you go to Amazon or where?
Speaker 24: I went to the manufacturer's website?
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 4: The manufacturer's website that would be research was Wizard Research?
Speaker 4: So is Wizard the one that makes this? Yes, a
Speaker 4: dry eye mask?
Speaker 1: I see it?
Speaker 4: Okay, Oh, it actually has an electronic box with what.
Speaker 1: Does it actually do?
Speaker 4: Does it work? Let's talk about that. Does it work?
Speaker 24: I don't know. I didn't try it. Something to my
Speaker 24: gut told me that this wasn't worth a thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you didn't try. But you have it, so
Speaker 1: you didn't try.
Speaker 4: You've never used it? No, so you're afraid if you
Speaker 4: use it? The guy's going to say it's too late.
Speaker 14: Yes, I get it.
Speaker 4: Well, the ratings on this thing is spectacular. I'm not
Speaker 4: and you know I'm not telling you to do it,
Speaker 4: and I'm not telling you it's worth a thousand bucks.
Speaker 4: And everywhere I see, the most expensive I see is
Speaker 4: like one hundred and fifty dollars, right, the most expensive?
Speaker 1: God's he charged you a thousand bucks? Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: we need to have somebody call him. Did we have
Speaker 1: anybody call him?
Speaker 4: I want to know what his excuse is for charging
Speaker 4: a thousand bucks.
Speaker 1: Hey, doc, I'll give him what doc?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 4: Just let's just say, look, man, are you selling these masks?
Speaker 4: If he doesn't want to talk about her, just say,
Speaker 4: are you selling these masks that you can buy an
Speaker 4: Amazon for eighty seven dollars or ninety dollars one hundred dollars?
Speaker 4: Are you selling him for a thousand? What's the name
Speaker 4: of this doctor? Oh, Colorado, Hi clinic. What is the
Speaker 4: doctor's name?
Speaker 24: Oh it's a foreign name. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: Okay, never mind, never mind, we don't need it. So
Speaker 4: here's what we're going to do. We're wo doc will
Speaker 4: need it, but he'll call you off the air to
Speaker 4: get it and then we'll see what.
Speaker 1: He has to say. I just god, I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: I find it's so hard to believe that that there
Speaker 1: are people doing this.
Speaker 4: But guess what it happens all the time. You know,
Speaker 4: pricing is an issue.
Speaker 1: There really is no answer.
Speaker 4: I mean, there is an answer technically, if you go
Speaker 4: to court, there's something called unconscionable. Would this be considered unconscionable?
Speaker 4: Do you think if you found out you could buy
Speaker 4: this for eighty seven bucks and they charge you one thousand?
Speaker 1: How would you feel?
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 25: Also depends on how it was presented. If he said, look,
Speaker 25: you'd have to have this, it's the only one that'll
Speaker 25: do blah blah blah, if he sort of us his
Speaker 25: powers of coercion and as a as an agent and trust.
Speaker 4: You're right if he lied to her about it basically right, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, frauding the inducement. As they say, Let's talk
Speaker 4: to Richard, who's been working with Suzanne on a problem
Speaker 4: this was with Excel.
Speaker 1: What was the issue Richard? How long ago was it?
Speaker 26: I got the smart meters put on?
Speaker 1: Oh I remember that? And when did you call us first?
Speaker 1: Is this is this?
Speaker 4: The is this the one where you had solar on
Speaker 4: your home, on the garage and and on the house.
Speaker 1: And each had its own meter.
Speaker 27: Yep, okay, the bill went from twenty dollars to well,
Speaker 27: between both of them, seven hundred plus.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? So what did you find out
Speaker 1: about it? Did Sue's fun She had a contact over
Speaker 1: there she was going to ask. So this was around
Speaker 1: four years ago.
Speaker 4: You had solar put on your home and garage, you
Speaker 4: each had its own meter. Then the home that then
Speaker 4: your electric bills were around twenty two dollars a month.
Speaker 4: Then the smart the smart meters were installed. What does
Speaker 4: Excel say about this? I mean, obviously no one would
Speaker 4: have a smart meter?
Speaker 1: Did each meter go up to? How much?
Speaker 26: The one on my house? So it credits the shop first? Yeah,
Speaker 26: that it credits the house.
Speaker 1: Okay. So so what you get at the house, what
Speaker 1: you get at the house is it we're at the shop?
Speaker 1: Is primary in their eyes?
Speaker 9: Yes, sir?
Speaker 1: Okay. So what basically though, are your bills for both?
Speaker 1: What what are your bills?
Speaker 26: They went from basically eighteen the twenty five dollars to
Speaker 26: the last billing cycle seven and thirty.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's no, what what come on?
Speaker 3: They?
Speaker 1: What do they tell you? They got to talk to
Speaker 1: you about this.
Speaker 15: Uh.
Speaker 26: First they said that, well maybe the old meter wasn't
Speaker 26: reading right.
Speaker 1: Well that's a possibility.
Speaker 4: I mean if you were only paying twenty two, how
Speaker 4: did you how would you address something like that?
Speaker 26: Well, from what I could tell, I asked them, well,
Speaker 26: am I getting any solar credits? And they said yeah,
Speaker 26: you got like two hundred kill a lot hours for
Speaker 26: the last billing cycle.
Speaker 4: When you say solar credit, Richard, how does it work
Speaker 4: on your system?
Speaker 1: Do they?
Speaker 4: First they take all of the solar you produce, and
Speaker 4: then they take all the solar that you use, and
Speaker 4: you have a net billing.

Speaker 9: Good morning? Tom? How are you doing a long time

Speaker 1: Okay, what happens.
Speaker 9: When you build a three D three strokers? You're taking
Speaker 9: a free fifty and you're putting a four.
Speaker 10: Hundred crank in it.
Speaker 9: Okay, the difference between a three to fifty crank and
Speaker 9: a four hundred crank three fifty crank is internally balanced,
Speaker 9: so you're zero in the flywheel, you're zero in the balance.
Speaker 1: So it needs a different kind of clutch.
Speaker 9: Who needs a different flywheel? So on a four hundred,
Speaker 9: which that crankshaft is, and.
Speaker 1: That the free Okay, we're running out of time and

Speaker 4: Tom Martino here, let's talk about your problems, questions and complaints.
Speaker 4: We've had a number of different problems, varying from cars,
Speaker 4: to real estate to more.
Speaker 1: Whatever you have on your mind, you can always call.
Speaker 4: Three oh three Martino for help three oh three six
Speaker 4: two seven eight four sixty six and we'll get to you.
Speaker 4: One of the notable call was how to track down
Speaker 4: people's investment accounts after they passed. We had a guy
Speaker 4: whose uncle died and he said, I know he had
Speaker 4: four or five million sitting around. Well, those accounts, each
Speaker 4: account generated ten ninety nine, and the investment house where
Speaker 4: it's where they have custody of it, the custodial company
Speaker 4: like a SWAB or a Fidelity or something, the custodial
Speaker 4: company will issue a ten ninety nine on each account.
Speaker 4: That ten ninety nine is a statement of earnings that
Speaker 4: will certainly have the account number and the amount of
Speaker 4: the benefit, so it'll tell you a lot about it
Speaker 4: just the account number alone in the institution. That was
Speaker 4: great information we got. Now, Greg has a comment on
Speaker 4: a corvette issue.
Speaker 1: Basically, this is out of the realm of most people listening.
Speaker 4: This guy is a customized C four Corvette with a
Speaker 4: customized motor and he wanted to put a customized clutch in.
Speaker 4: And we don't have a highly technical audience necessarily, but
Speaker 4: the bottom line was Colorado Performance tried putting the clutch
Speaker 4: in and he got a terrible vibration and.
Speaker 1: We got a call on it. And what I want
Speaker 1: to know is this Greg, pertaining to this.
Speaker 4: Case, because most of my audience doesn't care about being
Speaker 4: educated on customized corvettes. But regarding this case, are they
Speaker 4: can they ever install it properly or are you saying
Speaker 4: it needs another part in order.
Speaker 1: To be complete?
Speaker 9: Well, what the problem is is that they put a
Speaker 9: four hundred crank shaft into a three point fifty motor,
Speaker 9: and a four hundred is externally balanced. So if you
Speaker 9: put a flywheel on a four hundred crankshaft that belongs
Speaker 9: to a three fifty, you're not balanced that, okay.
Speaker 4: So are you saying the clutch itself will never work
Speaker 4: without another part where they're not doing it correctly?
Speaker 9: The clutch itself is correct the okay? Wrong, Okay, I
Speaker 9: gotchatally balanced?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: And so you're saying, you're saying that the clutch will
Speaker 4: never work right if the flywheel isn't balanced, and that
Speaker 4: makes sense to me.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, the the flywheel has to be externally balanced
Speaker 9: on a four hundred crank shaft.
Speaker 1: And I and I obviously I don't know the difference
Speaker 1: between externally balanced internally balanced, but but I imagine people.
Speaker 9: Go ahead, All small box chevies are internally balanced, except
Speaker 9: for a four hundred.
Speaker 4: Well, internally the balance means internally balanced means it's done
Speaker 4: before you seal the engine.
Speaker 9: Well, it means a tank shaft itself is balanced and
Speaker 9: you run out to a balancer and uh and flywheel
Speaker 9: which runs zero zero. So they're not they're not weighted,
Speaker 9: they're they're just a zero zero for spin. If you
Speaker 9: put a four hundred tank shaft in, you have to
Speaker 9: have a different ballot.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you lost ninety nine percent.
Speaker 4: Thank you, though, Greg, I really do appreciate you calling,
Speaker 4: and so he's saying, he's saying to thank you very
Speaker 4: much for calling.
Speaker 1: Greg. He said, basically to the to the shop.
Speaker 4: You know, unless you balance that flywheel, the clutch is
Speaker 4: never going to work, even though it's the correct clutch.
Speaker 4: And again, Greg, I'm sorry for not getting overly technical.
Speaker 4: It's just not going to work with the show now, Richard.
Speaker 4: This is the one that just has me scratching my
Speaker 4: head and has me so fricking oh man, I.
Speaker 1: Just can't believe it's real.
Speaker 4: So basically, you're saying that your smart meter went from
Speaker 4: excuse me, your electric bills went from four hundred dollars
Speaker 4: from twenty two dollars a month to seven hundred dollars
Speaker 4: a month.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's unheard of.
Speaker 4: And all Excel Energy has to say is, well, you know,
Speaker 4: I mean, have you been paying all this extra electric
Speaker 4: since you started?
Speaker 26: I paid the last bill, which was shortly after they
Speaker 26: put the smart meters on, where the bills were one
Speaker 26: and one oh seven. Yeah, well we'll look into it.
Speaker 26: Oh my god, god, this is incredible. Listen people.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine having a smart meter put on your
Speaker 4: house and now instead of getting a twenty two.
Speaker 1: Dollars bill on that meter, you get a seven bill.
Speaker 31: Is this a time of use thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know, Dragon, Dragon, isn't that what a smart meter
Speaker 1: does in general?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 31: And no smart meter allows Excel to read your meter
Speaker 31: from their home office rather than sending somebody out to
Speaker 31: your home. So it will save you money to get
Speaker 31: a smart meter. But what they did was they had
Speaker 31: time of use building two smart meters. You can unleash
Speaker 31: yourself from time of use billing and just get a
Speaker 31: flat rate and not have to worry about getting charged
Speaker 31: three or four times as much in the afternoon then
Speaker 31: you normally would.
Speaker 4: But I wonder what the flat rate would be on
Speaker 4: his You know, Richard have you ever asked about that.
Speaker 28: I didn't.
Speaker 26: I did actually get a hold of them about removing
Speaker 26: the smart meters.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a.
Speaker 31: Minute to a monthly fee to have them come out
Speaker 31: and read it.
Speaker 1: When you say remove it, you didn't remove it, You
Speaker 1: had them remove it.
Speaker 23: Yes, huh, yes, that is correct.
Speaker 1: And when they removed him, so now you're back to
Speaker 1: a regular meter.
Speaker 9: Yep.
Speaker 1: And what are the bills on your regular meter?
Speaker 26: They just changed them out this last week.
Speaker 4: Oh well, then then we have to so so your
Speaker 4: question is not gonna So if your build goes back
Speaker 4: down to let's say twenty two to twenty five.
Speaker 31: Dollars plus the fee that they would have to come
Speaker 31: out and read it. So it's it, right, I understand.
Speaker 1: Fifteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So let's say his bill goes back down to
Speaker 4: thirty five or forty bucks. He should ask for a
Speaker 4: refund for those overcharges.
Speaker 1: Don't you think I think he should.
Speaker 31: Because he when you signed when you get the smart meter,
Speaker 31: it does say you are on time of use billings,
Speaker 31: so you do have But.
Speaker 1: Okay, dragon, dragon, listen to this. Listen to this. Could
Speaker 1: it truly?
Speaker 4: Can you imagine a scenario where it goes from twenty
Speaker 4: five dollars to seven hundred.
Speaker 31: If you're running your reconditioner all the time in the afternoon,
Speaker 31: in those on peak hours, and yeah, you're screwing yourself
Speaker 31: on time of view.
Speaker 1: Holy crap, you're saying almost.
Speaker 31: Three sometimes even four times the amount you would in
Speaker 31: off peak time.
Speaker 26: Okay, two quick things. Yes, the five hundred dollars bill
Speaker 26: is on my garage, so it has no ACT and
Speaker 26: the house doesn't have AC.
Speaker 4: Well, god, how can you even how can a garage
Speaker 4: under any scenario?
Speaker 1: What are we what kind of garage are we talking about?
Speaker 26: I mean, it's it's nineteen hundred square foot garage. But
Speaker 26: is it like a shop running all the time.
Speaker 1: It's a shop for my personal projects? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, and.
Speaker 26: There on the weekend. No, I only worked on there
Speaker 26: in there on the weekend.
Speaker 29: And there's no air conditioner in the garage or the
Speaker 29: house anyway, So this can't be a time of use.
Speaker 29: There says to be a technical problem. Now I do
Speaker 29: have I do have personal experience with a conflict with
Speaker 29: Excel Energy. A few years ago, I found a complaint
Speaker 29: with the puc here at the Colorado PC.
Speaker 21: It was online. It was only a few minutes and
Speaker 21: I got a response back from Excel next.
Speaker 1: Day because you went to the PUC. You take it
Speaker 1: very seriously the piece. That's a good idea, Richard. I
Speaker 1: would wait to see first did my bills go back down? Okay?
Speaker 4: If your bills went back down to normal, then then
Speaker 4: I would petition them for a refund. Except that dragons
Speaker 4: say you're not doing a refund because you signed all
Speaker 4: the disclaimers when they put it on there.
Speaker 26: Well, from what I'm looking at my bills, from what
Speaker 26: I could see, they weren't crediting me all the power
Speaker 26: I was producing.
Speaker 15: I have a question.
Speaker 8: We recently had our swapped out, but we didn't sign anything.
Speaker 15: We weren't home guy.
Speaker 1: Just swapped out the meter. Yeah, yeah, I mean. The
Speaker 1: agreement though for the smart meter is that it's time
Speaker 1: of use, basically choice. You have to opt out of it,
Speaker 1: but you can still so you can have a smart
Speaker 1: meter and get a flat rate.
Speaker 15: Correct, That's what I've got right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, let.
Speaker 4: Me ask you something what a smart meter with a
Speaker 4: flat rate beach deeper than a regular meter and paying for.
Speaker 31: The visit depending on when you're using your electricity. So
Speaker 31: I'm off in the afternoon, so I'm home in the
Speaker 31: afternoon and I want my air conditioning running because I'm
Speaker 31: home and I want to stay cool.
Speaker 1: So you want the flat rate? Yeah, no, I'm asking you.
Speaker 4: I was asking comparing the flat ray smart meter to
Speaker 4: a regular meter.
Speaker 1: If you pay for the visit, how much do they
Speaker 1: charge you?
Speaker 31: It is fifteen more per month because they've got to
Speaker 31: send a person out to read the meter.
Speaker 4: So I'm wondering in your scenario, which one would be cheaper,
Speaker 4: the flat rate or the.
Speaker 31: And the flat rate does it really mean flat rate?
Speaker 31: I mean, well, what if you use more, then you're
Speaker 31: paying more. I mean you're paying the flat rate for
Speaker 31: the oh.
Speaker 1: The flat rate for the for the for the usage.
Speaker 3: Got it?
Speaker 4: Okay, a flat rate per kilowat It doesn't matter when
Speaker 4: you use it. Correct, it's the same rate. Got it correct?
Speaker 4: You know, Richard, one thing at a time. Let's wait
Speaker 4: to I just made notes on your case. Let's wait
Speaker 4: to see what your electric bill is so we know
Speaker 4: what we're asking for. Basically, that's what you know, because
Speaker 4: we don't even know what to ask for. Are we
Speaker 4: asking what if your rate doesn't go back down? Is
Speaker 4: it possible those previous meters were bad. I mean, maybe
Speaker 4: who knows, you might have been getting away with it.
Speaker 4: Although I can't imagine anything, anything at all in a shop,
Speaker 4: an eighteen hundred square foot shop. I have a shop,
Speaker 4: and I can't imagine anything. I have a compressure that
Speaker 4: goes on and off now and then to keep.
Speaker 1: The air on. But what could possibly nothing?
Speaker 29: Only air conditioners can consume that much power, or a heater,
Speaker 29: or a heater, an electric heater. Yeah, but there's got
Speaker 29: to be some kind of a technical flaw. But we'll know,
Speaker 29: probably for sure as soon as Richard gets his So, Richard.

Speaker 4: on that Xcel issue where the guys electric bills went
Speaker 4: from around twenty five bucks a month to seven hundred
Speaker 4: a month because he switched to a smart meter.
Speaker 1: Eugene, what do you have to say about that?
Speaker 28: Okay, Well, I'm I'm a retired Xcel energy meter man. Okay,
Speaker 28: I I can say about about the h these new
Speaker 28: meters that they say've installed. They're installed by a third
Speaker 28: party contractor who just goes through like a two week
Speaker 28: training period. Yeah, you know how to change a meter safely?
Speaker 1: Stuff that sure.
Speaker 28: And the difference between a meter that's.
Speaker 1: Time of use.
Speaker 28: For a regular house and a net meter is the
Speaker 28: net meter has a different program in it. And my
Speaker 28: thought is is that maybe they installed one that doesn't
Speaker 28: have the net meter program in it.
Speaker 1: You know what, that makes a lot of sense. That
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 4: So in other words, it's accurate, but it's not giving
Speaker 4: him credit for the energy produced, right.
Speaker 9: And.
Speaker 28: The only way they're going to be able to know
Speaker 28: is an Excel Energy meterman's going to have to go
Speaker 28: out there and see what programs in that meter so
Speaker 28: that they know that the proper programs is well.
Speaker 4: Except that he went back to the other one already.
Speaker 4: So what is he going to do to go back
Speaker 4: in time? And he go back, is there a way
Speaker 4: to go back in time to see if they were
Speaker 4: giving him credit?
Speaker 1: Does it mention it on the bill?
Speaker 28: He should have yes on the bill. It should show
Speaker 28: him what he's produced and what he's used.
Speaker 1: So if during the time he had that smart meter
Speaker 1: it wasn't producing any electricity his solar system, then he
Speaker 1: can assume it probably did not have the right programming
Speaker 1: in it.
Speaker 4: They're going to have to issue him a credit of
Speaker 4: some kind. I really believe that. But thank you for
Speaker 4: pointing us in that direction. That is a very very
Speaker 4: smart way to go. And we'll let him know about that.
Speaker 4: Three zero three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 4: So what's going on with fire in a house? And
Speaker 4: what do you do afterwards? Also, we're going to talk
Speaker 4: about water now. Paul the waterman is here with us,
Speaker 4: and I want to ask him a quick question. We
Speaker 4: got I got a text this one and they want
Speaker 4: to know, really.
Speaker 1: For lead?
Speaker 4: Is there anything you can do for lead? Did you
Speaker 4: know that ten of the largest school districts in Colorado
Speaker 4: all have unsafe levels of.
Speaker 9: Lead? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Majority, majority of your refrigerator filters, inline filters for the
Speaker 8: refrigerator uh can rated for lead. Any solid carbon black
Speaker 8: filter will take lead out.
Speaker 1: So let is not that difficult to get out? Is
Speaker 1: led a problem in.
Speaker 8: The metro area at Denver old infrastructure? The Denver Water
Speaker 8: District is still milling pictures water pictures and really yeah,
Speaker 8: and you know what it is out to folks about
Speaker 8: lead lead levels.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm just wondering if we really knew the quality
Speaker 1: of our water coming out of the town.
Speaker 15: We truly don't.
Speaker 1: But if we did, would we drink it?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 8: That's see, That's the whole thing about this bill that
Speaker 8: was passing seventy four, the Clean Drink Water.
Speaker 15: Actor, Safe Drink Quarterback.
Speaker 8: The EPA is denying us the truth about the quality
Speaker 8: of a water where we can we can make a
Speaker 8: decision do we want to consume it or not?
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously we have to have public water supplies, right,
Speaker 4: we have to, so they get.
Speaker 1: Them as clean as they can and then get a
Speaker 1: system for home.
Speaker 4: I see a time, and I've said this before, where
Speaker 4: home systems will be as common as having air conditioning.
Speaker 15: On your furnace.
Speaker 8: I think they should give rebates to folks to buy
Speaker 8: drinking water filter systems.
Speaker 15: If they're going to give you a rebate.
Speaker 8: To buy an electric car, to buy an e bike,
Speaker 8: they should do the same thing.
Speaker 15: For water filtration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that has to do with health.
Speaker 15: Well, it's the same. It's the question, I know.
Speaker 1: But the government gives rebase for stuff that will better
Speaker 1: the environment.
Speaker 4: I think I agree with you. By the way, I'm
Speaker 4: not disagreeing. There should be some incentive to get people
Speaker 4: clean water.
Speaker 8: Chatfield Chatfield has the P five levels are so high
Speaker 8: that they give notice out that they limit the fish
Speaker 8: consumption in Chatfield.
Speaker 4: Reservoir because of the forever chemicals that get inside the fish.
Speaker 15: Correct.
Speaker 8: Correct, there's a and they use that same body of

Speaker 1: Okay? Where was the fire in the bedroom on the.

Speaker 15: I get it.
Speaker 9: I get it.
Speaker 1: Okay. So what I want to know is this, I
Speaker 1: just need to know what are you calling about. Is
Speaker 1: it about asbestos?
Speaker 2: Why I had spoke with you about a month ago?
Speaker 1: Okay, let me.
Speaker 4: Find your let me find your call. Maybe that's why
Speaker 4: I'm confused, mate, because.
Speaker 1: You think I know more than I know. Hold on,
Speaker 1: you know a lot too. Yeah, let's see, let's see.
Speaker 1: Let me look at this. It was Was this a
Speaker 1: nineteen forty six home? I don't know that you, but okay,
Speaker 1: it was an old home.
Speaker 4: You had a fire in her in her old home,
Speaker 4: and asbestos was discovered in a few places. Okay, So
Speaker 4: now now I wanted information on finding some good asbestos
Speaker 4: removal people.
Speaker 20: Right, well, I've done the abatement on that house with
Speaker 20: the actual fire and sloped.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Now they want to go through and they just
Speaker 2: took they threw everything out. They didn't.
Speaker 20: It's just everything's wrong. So it's just the plain work
Speaker 20: right now is the structure, but the garbage They want
Speaker 20: to now go into and go through all of the contents,
Speaker 20: drag everything up, including trash and things that are not good.
Speaker 20: I need to be thrown out.
Speaker 1: What are you, Nita?
Speaker 4: You're telling me what your insurance or your company is doing,
Speaker 4: But what are you calling about?
Speaker 1: What can we help you with? It sounds like they're
Speaker 1: doing what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 20: But you had stated that there was a gentleman named
Speaker 20: while I think Colad of restoration may be okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Do you need a restoration company? Is that what you're
Speaker 1: asking for my mother to have maybe done?
Speaker 3: There's no need to go to gotcha?
Speaker 1: No, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 4: We need a company. You want a company that will
Speaker 4: test the that will test the air and all of that. Right, God,
Speaker 4: you know what. I we used to have an asbestos company,
Speaker 4: but we don't use them anymore, so I I hesitate
Speaker 4: to give you that.
Speaker 1: Do you know of any Paul? You don't know of any?
Speaker 12: Do you?
Speaker 1: Paul? Paul the Waterman knows a lot of scientists.
Speaker 3: Do you know of any?
Speaker 7: Don't?
Speaker 21: But I'll bet you Mark from Genesis will know because
Speaker 21: he works on.
Speaker 1: These you know what, You're absolutely right, he does construction projects,
Speaker 1: you know what.
Speaker 4: Hold on a second, We're going to try to get
Speaker 4: a referral from Mark Schamansky Genesis Total Exteriors.
Speaker 1: So hold on, renee k hey Kachina.
Speaker 4: Let's get Mark schamanskyan to see if he knows anybody well,
Speaker 4: who does he use when asbestos? When he needs to test,
Speaker 4: he probably has someone he uses all the time to test.
Speaker 1: Love it, Jeff, what's going on? Jeff? Hello, Hi Jeff,
Speaker 1: what's happening?
Speaker 9: Okay?
Speaker 23: Well, my son sent me some money in the messenger
Speaker 23: app of Facebook. Yes, somehow the card that I had
Speaker 23: in there, my debit card, was replaced with another card
Speaker 23: that I didn't authorize, didn't receive information about, so that
Speaker 23: I could you deny it or whatever?
Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. You had a new
Speaker 1: card on there that you didn't know about.
Speaker 23: I didn't put the card on. There was a new
Speaker 23: card that got put into that account.
Speaker 1: Who who did did it?
Speaker 23: That's I can't find that out from Facebook.
Speaker 1: And that person who did it got the money.
Speaker 23: That's what they're saying is the money made. It was
Speaker 23: a successful transfer, is what they said, into the account
Speaker 23: associated with that card.
Speaker 1: Okay, So how much did his son? How much did
Speaker 1: your son send?
Speaker 23: Four hundred and fifty?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and now it's gone.
Speaker 23: It's it's saying that it got into my account, but
Speaker 23: my bank shows nothing. I tried to get a tracking
Speaker 23: or a tracing number from Facebook their robots, So.
Speaker 1: Let me let me. This is what I don't understand, Jeff.
Speaker 4: So I'm at a loss here and that is why
Speaker 4: I am kind of hesitant talking. So, when you are
Speaker 4: in the Messenger app on Facebook, how does it get
Speaker 4: associated with a debit card?
Speaker 1: I don't understand how that works.
Speaker 23: You go into the application, it has an account for you,
Speaker 23: You fill out the card number, and then they utilize
Speaker 23: the last four it's associated with your bank account, and
Speaker 23: then it goes through it.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: So in other words, in other words, Messenger is often
Speaker 4: used to exchange money back and forth by use of
Speaker 4: these cards. Correct, and there was a card associated with
Speaker 4: your account that you had no knowledge of?
Speaker 15: Correct?
Speaker 4: Well, how did that happen? They'd have to verify it
Speaker 4: through your cell phone or your email.
Speaker 23: I would have hoped so, But I've gone back through
Speaker 23: my records.
Speaker 14: There is no.
Speaker 23: Email available for it, or no phone call was received
Speaker 23: by me. I have changed that card, and I do
Speaker 23: get a notification on my email and sometimes a phone call.
Speaker 31: Any strange happenings on your Facebook, because that's it could
Speaker 31: be a Facebook problem that somebody did your Facebook.
Speaker 1: Did your Facebook account ever get hacked? I don't know.
Speaker 9: I haven't.
Speaker 23: I haven't encountered that by anything.
Speaker 21: I'm not going to change all those partwords.
Speaker 29: Somebody sneaked into his Facebook account and put in their
Speaker 29: own debit card.
Speaker 1: That's what they did.
Speaker 4: But they did not let him know because they didn't
Speaker 4: want him to shut it down, so they didn't hack
Speaker 4: his whole account, but they did hack his account. As
Speaker 4: far as getting a card on there.
Speaker 21: Yeah, that's a really smart hack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the hacker.
Speaker 4: The hacker didn't do anything on your Facebook page itself.
Speaker 1: It just let itself in to do that card did
Speaker 1: He just sat.
Speaker 29: There waiting for the money to come in very quietly,
Speaker 29: and so got away with four fifty bucks.
Speaker 23: Can't I get the information of the card that was
Speaker 23: used from Facebook?
Speaker 4: Well, Facebook's never going to give you that. See, this
Speaker 4: is one of the downsides.
Speaker 1: They won't back it. Well even if they did, they
Speaker 1: won't share it with you. This is one of the things.
Speaker 4: If you looked at the agreement you signed when you
Speaker 4: signed a Facebook page, I mean, I swear to God
Speaker 4: and then you sign up for these cards.
Speaker 1: We give away all our rights. We basically here's what.
Speaker 4: By the way, on one of those agreements, not just
Speaker 4: on one of them, on most of them, it says
Speaker 4: that they will not participate in any litigation unless compelled
Speaker 4: by a.
Speaker 1: Court of law. So it doesn't matter if you want
Speaker 1: them to, they will not. Tom.
Speaker 25: How about if he files the police report and maybe
Speaker 25: the police can request that information.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mean they might. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even know.
Speaker 4: I wish there were law enforcement agencies dedicated to cyber
Speaker 4: crime right now, because crime either must be there must be,
Speaker 4: like the IBM or some me FBI. I mean, because
Speaker 4: if you think about it, the FBI has to do
Speaker 4: it because there's no one else. Jeff, I really fear
Speaker 4: man that you lost your money. I don't think there's
Speaker 4: anyone responsible for it. I think you were responsible to
Speaker 4: see what was on your account. Now, I'm not blaming you,
Speaker 4: and I could see where I could fall for something
Speaker 4: like this. But but if you're expecting Facebook to reimburse you,
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to happen. I just don't
Speaker 4: think it's going to happen. I mean, I wish I could.
Speaker 1: Lie to you and say, oh, yeah, let's call them,
Speaker 1: let's get that money put back.

Speaker 29: but actually successfully?
Speaker 1: I have in the past, but god knows how hard
Speaker 1: it has spent. Look at Facebook in and of itself.
Speaker 13: The payment originally, well, what do you mean stopping them?
Speaker 1: It's too late?
Speaker 4: Now what do he means if you stop the payment originally,
Speaker 4: it would have been done already. Once it goes through,
Speaker 4: you can't claw it back.

Speaker 4: I mean, when when your account is hacked, the smartest
Speaker 4: hackers in the world, when they hack, don't say anything.
Speaker 4: They just hack your account and they lay low. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 23: So it just amazes me that Facebook will send an
Speaker 23: email or something saying you successfully transferred your card and
Speaker 23: if there's if this was not you, call us back.
Speaker 23: But if it's not you, nothing needs to be done.
Speaker 23: It would seem to me it'd be just the opposite
Speaker 23: that they should.
Speaker 4: Oh like, okay, I know what Jeff's saying, that the
Speaker 4: verification email went to somebody else and that somebody else
Speaker 4: is not going to respond obviously.
Speaker 1: I mean that email does nothing. That email does nothing.
Speaker 1: It just tells the hacker and went through active approach. Yeah,

Speaker 4: Now we left off with Renetta who wanted to know
Speaker 4: about testing for asbestos. Mark Schumansky is with Genesis Total Exteriors,
Speaker 4: and since there are go two people for home improvements,
Speaker 4: we figure they often test for stuff. Mark, You guys
Speaker 4: often probably TA to test for asbestos.
Speaker 1: Who do you use?
Speaker 14: Well, Tom, We're certified to go ahead and test ourselves.
Speaker 9: It was ah me about one thousand.
Speaker 14: It was causing me about one thousand bucks to test
Speaker 14: for asbestos. So I went through the training and we
Speaker 14: are able to test for asbestos ourselves.
Speaker 1: And you can also test from mold, right.
Speaker 14: Yes, yes, we could test for mold.
Speaker 1: Also, what about lead?
Speaker 14: Lead is a I mean, anybody can test for lead.
Speaker 14: You can go to a paint store and pick up
Speaker 14: one of these little lead test kits and and you
Speaker 14: don't have to be certified. We are certified. You have
Speaker 14: to go through if you're a pain contractor, you have
Speaker 14: to go through training to deal with lead based pain.
Speaker 14: But basically you just have to follow the rules in
Speaker 14: the back of the package and you can do the
Speaker 14: lead test yourself.
Speaker 4: Okay, So Genesis Total Exteriors is on the line right now, Renetta,
Speaker 4: And they and they do they do testing for asbestos.
Speaker 4: Do you also do abatement though, Mark, and removal?
Speaker 14: So we have partners that we you know, companies that
Speaker 14: we partner with that they will take care of that
Speaker 14: side of it, and then we come in and put
Speaker 14: the you know, do the fixed back. You know, we'll
Speaker 14: do the build back after they do the remediation.
Speaker 4: Okay, Renetta, do you feel you still have asbestos in
Speaker 4: your home?
Speaker 1: Is that why you're calling?
Speaker 20: No, the home has been gutted, it's just plain work
Speaker 20: and it's stands now. The garage is disattached, and I
Speaker 20: don't there's no showing of any testing actually done for
Speaker 20: the garage.
Speaker 1: Okay, got it.
Speaker 4: So you want to know does the garage before you
Speaker 4: go through all of the abatement.
Speaker 1: You want to know if the garage really needs it
Speaker 1: or not?
Speaker 2: Well, I know it doesn't, but I need a certification.
Speaker 1: Okay. So Mark, would you be able to go give
Speaker 1: a clean certification to her garage? Yeah?
Speaker 14: Well, we'll have to take samples and set them off
Speaker 14: the independent lab and then we can give her the results.
Speaker 1: Yes, and and Renetta, you can trust Genesis. Let me
Speaker 1: give you their number three oh three.
Speaker 4: Six seven nine eight five zero nine eight five zero nine.
Speaker 32: And another thing do was the Excel bit we had
Speaker 32: a temporary pole put in well because of course.
Speaker 20: The fire and the wiring and all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and we were getting charged.
Speaker 20: Ex was charging us, right, it was there was nothing
Speaker 20: being use, there as no one le's to see like
Speaker 20: your service.
Speaker 2: Let's let's be page you have to pay for and
Speaker 2: so just kind of another.
Speaker 1: Talking up the you know what, you know what Renetta
Speaker 1: on on temporary meters.
Speaker 4: I believe many of those temporary meters have a minimum
Speaker 4: charge per month.
Speaker 1: It's like on a consrustion.
Speaker 2: It was the same amount that if we've been putting
Speaker 2: in the mouthful.
Speaker 4: I'm hey, Mark Shamanski, do you know on construction projects,
Speaker 4: I thought temp meters when you have to put a
Speaker 4: temp meter up, that there's a minimum charge.
Speaker 1: Am I right or wrong?
Speaker 9: Or do you know? Yeah?
Speaker 14: I think I think you're correct on that.
Speaker 13: That's correct.
Speaker 2: Do you still have to pay for the meter even
Speaker 2: if you own it? You still have to pay like
Speaker 2: a base, you know, eight dollars or whatnot?
Speaker 9: Right? Correct?
Speaker 1: Anyway?
Speaker 4: Call Mark Shamanski for that and over at Genesis tootalexteriors
Speaker 4: dot Com. Okay, Deputy Bo, he has an update for us.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing.
Speaker 4: This was really a bad, bad situation. As I remember

Speaker 15: Wait. Wait.
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty four, her car was hell damaged and
Speaker 4: brought to Denver Family Dent Repair.
Speaker 1: Bobby Ward over there, all State.
Speaker 4: And Suzanne the consumer came up with an agreement to
Speaker 4: take fifty eight hundred dollars to total the car, and
Speaker 4: she was going to keep the car. A check for
Speaker 4: fifty eight hundred dollars was sent to Family Dents. They
Speaker 4: cashed it and kept the money.
Speaker 7: Yes, Suzanne, are you up on the air with me? Yes,
Speaker 7: she is, okay, So I brought that car all her up, Tom,
Speaker 7: I just want to make this update. It's really important.
Speaker 1: We get this.
Speaker 7: This company, Denver Family Dent Repair, stole Suzanne's money.
Speaker 19: And I've called five times. I even talked to a
Speaker 19: subsidiary company called Dallas Family dent't Repair, thinking they would help.
Speaker 19: So all I would like to Susanne and I would
Speaker 19: like to do is just to get the word out.
Speaker 19: If Suzanne is.
Speaker 7: A totally in total agreement that these these are glisteners
Speaker 7: cannot be frequently.
Speaker 1: What if she did this, Bo, what if she took

Speaker 1: You working on a small claim.

Speaker 4: Excellent. I want you to keep us informed. Maybe Deputy

Speaker 4: gotta get them served. And here's what I want to do.
Speaker 4: Once you get them served and you go to court,
Speaker 4: I want to know about it because once you get
Speaker 4: a judgment, here's where we really can help. By getting
Speaker 4: that judgment executed, you can go in and start taking
Speaker 4: stuff from that place. If you know they're going to
Speaker 4: have to address this, they're gonna have to address it. So, Bo,
Speaker 4: are you telling me they totally ignored it?
Speaker 7: They ignored five of my calls. They won't even they won't.
Speaker 7: I was kept at even drive up there.
Speaker 12: But they're in foro College.

Speaker 4: that's definitely going to go on the sleeves brigade, There's no.
Speaker 3: Doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Do we know the person behind Denver?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: This place?
Speaker 9: Is it? Is it? Uh?
Speaker 1: Is it? Let's see we don't have a name associated
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 17: Tom like, like what you you have to serve to
Speaker 17: the registered agent. Right, that's it, and that's in Colorado's prints.
Speaker 20: There are not James.
Speaker 16: In Fort Collins, the Joseph Adkins.
Speaker 19: I have not heard that name.
Speaker 16: I know down in Texas it was Paul Prezy.
Speaker 1: But the uh other that the hey did you ever
Speaker 1: put in?
Speaker 4: I wonder if she put in a report with the
Speaker 4: district attorney, if they would look into.
Speaker 1: It again again? And what did they say? They said
Speaker 1: it was a civil matter?
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 17: I even talked to another deputy lady and she looked
Speaker 17: into it. She said, well, it's not criminal, it's civil,
Speaker 17: but civil. But the Colorado Attorney General said there's nothing
Speaker 17: they can do. They just put it on record. And
Speaker 17: then they text me and said, well, we're trying to
Speaker 17: get a hold of them in a couple months later
Speaker 17: they said they haven't gotten back to us, so we're
Speaker 17: dropping it.
Speaker 1: Oh, isn't that fun? So if you want to get
Speaker 1: away with crime in Colorado, all you do is ignore
Speaker 1: it and it goes away. Isn't that wonderful?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 4: No, seriously, Okay, Deputy Bow help her out with that
Speaker 4: small claim and let's follow it along three zero three,
Speaker 4: seven one three talks seven one three, eight two five five.
Speaker 4: So we have addressed in drinking water the main dangers.
Speaker 4: Let's just call it what it is. Drinking water is
Speaker 4: no longer safe. It really really isn't. So if you
Speaker 4: drink tap water, it's not safe. Now at the very least,
Speaker 4: you need good drinking water. But what is the other
Speaker 4: part of the equation other than drinking water. Somebody wants
Speaker 4: to know if they address drinking water, what forever chemicals
Speaker 4: harm them otherwise if they're not drinking the water.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that.
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, it's good in the steam. When you take
Speaker 8: a shower, you're gonna breathe it in. So p files
Speaker 8: are in hot water, right, p files are all over
Speaker 8: and so it absorbs your skin too, absorb to your skin.
Speaker 8: Your water is a sponge. It's you know, years ago
Speaker 8: we used to think skin was like leather. But your
Speaker 8: your skin's a sponge.
Speaker 4: Okay, So p files you're talking about forever chemicals plus plastics.
Speaker 1: That's separate from forever chemicals.
Speaker 8: Correct, And then you have the total chlorine content too.
Speaker 8: The nanoplastics time penetrate the body can carry carcinogens bacteria, viruses, if.
Speaker 1: People have heard about more cancer than ever, that's right.
Speaker 1: This is why it's right.
Speaker 4: I mean, we've been feeding ourselves these plastics for how
Speaker 4: many years thirty right now forty years, forty years.
Speaker 15: Of plastics a minimum forty years, and.
Speaker 4: They used to be worse than now now that at
Speaker 4: least they're trying to regulate them.
Speaker 15: Well, they're trying to regulate them.
Speaker 8: But here's the problem is that municipalities can't help because of.
Speaker 15: The volume of water they have to provide.
Speaker 8: So right now it's not a filtration system that can
Speaker 8: treat for everything. So they do the best they can,
Speaker 8: but it's really up to us to take you know, complete.
Speaker 1: Thing over water.
Speaker 4: I think instead of building new plans that can't do
Speaker 4: it anyway, they here's what they should do. Municipalities should
Speaker 4: do what we talked about, do the best they can
Speaker 4: and have a certain level and then stop. That's it,
Speaker 4: and then have domestic systems just I think to get
Speaker 4: a building, to get to get an occupancy permit to
Speaker 4: live in a home or have a business, usually have.
Speaker 1: Your water certified. Totally agree, you know you have seriously
Speaker 1: you think about it.
Speaker 15: I know you're right.
Speaker 8: Check this out if you get an fah loan, most
Speaker 8: likely they're going to make you do a pottability test
Speaker 8: to make sure why for.
Speaker 4: Your well right, And they don't do that for regular supply,
Speaker 4: just for a well for well that's right.
Speaker 8: And so one of the things we found out too
Speaker 8: is that landlords are not responsible for the quality of
Speaker 8: water for people running.
Speaker 1: Home and well.
Speaker 8: So it's really up to if you're in a well
Speaker 8: wall application, you're truly on your own. Municipalities have laws
Speaker 8: that the EPA provides, but then again they're flaud because
Speaker 8: the EPA, you know, has a longer list of unregulated
Speaker 8: contaminants that's in the water, but they're just not telling.

Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk to Deputy Bo.
Speaker 4: Deputy Bow, you're talking now about an extended warranty issue
Speaker 4: from Ronald from North Carolina.
Speaker 1: What was the main issue there? I'm looking up the
Speaker 1: call right now. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, here it is his twenty fifteen Chevy Silverado.
Speaker 4: He bought it from Bleaker's Chevrolet of North Carolina in
Speaker 4: December of twenty four with an extended warranty. The dealer
Speaker 4: promised to fix the shake in the rear. Now they
Speaker 4: refuse to fix it, same old story. These extended warranties
Speaker 4: are worth nothing. They're worth nothing.
Speaker 7: Right, this is a warning.
Speaker 19: I couldn't get anything accomplished, and I'll tell you why
Speaker 19: the warning to our listeners. Ronald was really a nice
Speaker 19: guy and I called the dealership four times. But the
Speaker 19: problem is when he bought this twenty fifteen shil Dorado,
Speaker 19: he had break The breaks went out, but the extended
Speaker 19: warranty will not cover brakes. But then he had problems
Speaker 19: with the wheels. The rims were vibrating, vibrating so bad
Speaker 19: he couldn't drive the vehicle. So when he took it
Speaker 19: into the dealer, they submitted the warranty information, the warranty
Speaker 19: solutions anty solutions, and Tommy, I think he spent like
Speaker 19: through the eight hundred dollars for the warranty, but they
Speaker 19: will not cover it because the rims are not original
Speaker 19: equipment to the Silverado.
Speaker 9: But wait a.
Speaker 1: Minute, who put the rims on?
Speaker 7: The rims were on the vehicle when he bought it
Speaker 7: from Bleakers Automotive in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Well, they can't do it. They can't have it both ways.
Speaker 4: There's no way that they can sell him a car
Speaker 4: with and an extended warranty that never took effect ever
Speaker 4: because of the wrong rims. These people need to be
Speaker 4: taking a small claims court or something it will do.
Speaker 4: Can you think you could talk Ronald through getting it
Speaker 4: to small claim score he'll win.
Speaker 1: I don't see how the guy loses.
Speaker 4: They sell a car that could have never been covered. Now,
Speaker 4: it would have been different if he put the rims
Speaker 4: on his car, but he didn't put the rims.
Speaker 19: On his car, and and Bleakers acknowledges that that they
Speaker 19: were have to market rims after he started trying to
Speaker 19: get a warranty on it.
Speaker 4: Well, then they should read and they're not willing to
Speaker 4: refund the extended warranty.
Speaker 9: Nope.
Speaker 7: I asked him that too.
Speaker 19: I've called them trig or four times and they're just.
Speaker 7: Jerks about it. But it's just a warning for people
Speaker 7: that buy these cars to the extended warranties that they
Speaker 7: need to make sure they have the original equipment wheels
Speaker 7: and yeah, but but but.
Speaker 1: The dealer should have the dealer needs to do. If
Speaker 1: the dealer is selling a warranty on a car, you have.
Speaker 4: A reasonable expectation that the damn warranty will take effect.
Speaker 1: It never took effect. It's not like he did anything wrong.
Speaker 1: He had no control over this.
Speaker 4: You need to talk him into small claim. Really, honest
Speaker 4: to God, these people are screwing him. In fact, I
Speaker 4: want people to call out there. I want him to
Speaker 4: call to that dealer and say, you know what your
Speaker 4: your scumbags.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna let everyone know I have the number if
Speaker 6: I can.
Speaker 1: Give it out on the air, Yeah, give it out.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 7: Ariet code nine one zero two two, four, four eight three.
Speaker 7: The service manager's names.
Speaker 1: Rex, ask for RESK, ask for Rex, the sorry Rex?
Speaker 4: Okay, so here it is the extended warranty will not
Speaker 4: cover because it doesn't have original rims.
Speaker 1: The rims were sold with it for this guy, so
Speaker 1: they sold him a warranty that would never take effect.
Speaker 1: Think about that.
Speaker 7: It's bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, we both we both are teetering on being
Speaker 4: were really upset about this, and so Bleaker Chevrolet. I
Speaker 4: want you to call him, ask for Rex and just say,
Speaker 4: you know what, your little shenanigans are not going unnoticed.
Speaker 4: Nine one zero two nine to two four four eight three.
Speaker 4: By the way, bo, did you ever talk to the
Speaker 4: general manager?
Speaker 7: I talked to three people. I talked to Rico, Kevin's
Speaker 7: and Stacey, and I did talk to one of the
Speaker 7: general I don't know which one of these three people.
Speaker 19: That I've been in contact with is the general manager.
Speaker 19: But they just never called me back. So I called
Speaker 19: the warranty company and they're the ones that said they
Speaker 19: knew about it, and they said we cannot.
Speaker 7: Help mister Ronald because the rims are after market and
Speaker 7: that's the exclusion in the warranty.
Speaker 19: But I agree the dealer sold him.

Speaker 4: is available, sir.
Speaker 8: Yeah, financing, you know, with a proved credit and sometimes
Speaker 8: you know, I also do in house financing, Okay.
Speaker 1: And then here's somebody else is Most water is supplied
Speaker 1: through C nine hundred p VC pipes. Do they leach
Speaker 1: do PEX and PVC. You know Pex's plastic.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Pex saysn't leach.
Speaker 1: Oh it doesn't Okay, good no.
Speaker 8: And you know PEX is like this is like the
Speaker 8: fifth generation of that material, so that's been tested. You
Speaker 8: know PVC, you know, majority of PVC pipe is used
Speaker 8: in drains. The only PVC that I've seen that you
Speaker 8: need to be aware of is called CPBC. That's pretty brtal.
Speaker 8: That's cheap stuff and it's some surprised a lot of
Speaker 8: high end homes you see with CPBC pipe, and so
Speaker 8: it can't take the pressure as conventional PVC piping.
Speaker 1: Okay, you said something about if you're going to get
Speaker 1: a water system, obviously we want you to use waterpros
Speaker 1: dot net, but you said, at least make sure they're
Speaker 1: they're real plumbers and real texts.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So's new state law requires folks that are plumbing contractor
Speaker 8: like myself, you need to have on your vehicle, on
Speaker 8: your handbills.
Speaker 15: Your paperwork, your work orders, your.
Speaker 8: Plumbing contractor number, and also your master plumber responsibilities number,
Speaker 8: and so that you know.
Speaker 15: I like that idea. It's to to weed out those
Speaker 15: that are you know, but how.
Speaker 1: Would anyone know if it's a real number, that's the problem.
Speaker 1: They got to check it out here, you.
Speaker 15: Check it out. You know, you're you're, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 8: But the thing is is that in the state of Colorado,
Speaker 8: you either have to be a plumbing contractor like water
Speaker 8: Pros or a water conditioning contractor. Okay, And so that's
Speaker 8: something that you know, I'm glad they're doing because there's
Speaker 8: too many people out.
Speaker 1: There that you know, Oh, there's there were a lot
Speaker 1: of ripoffs in the water softening and water conditioning and
Speaker 1: water purification. I remember going after some of them, yeah's,
Speaker 1: and they would come in and and scare the hell
Speaker 1: out of people.
Speaker 15: That's right. There's a lot of people that use scare tactics.
Speaker 8: Now, there's legitimate issues in her water, but you should
Speaker 8: have somebody that should be able to explain to you
Speaker 8: what the filtration media they're using and.
Speaker 15: How it's going to work.
Speaker 1: By the way, what is best And I don't know
Speaker 1: what they mean best, but I mean it's worth discussing
Speaker 1: distilled water. What is distilled water.
Speaker 8: It's the process of boiling water, you know, to to
Speaker 8: sanitize it. But there's so many chemicals in her water supply.
Speaker 1: Now so wait, so all distilled water is this boiled
Speaker 1: water boiled water?
Speaker 8: Yeah, you boil it and then the steam is transferred
Speaker 8: to another chamber as it cools. That you know in
Speaker 8: theory is distilled water.
Speaker 1: So it's the steam from boiled water. Correct, So you
Speaker 1: boil it all down, condense the steam, right, what does
Speaker 1: that do remove stuff?
Speaker 8: Well, eight years ago, you know that the thought was
Speaker 8: that could you know, kill and sanitize. But with all
Speaker 8: the chemicals in the water, boiling doesn't eliminate them. It
Speaker 8: just puts them in the vapor. It's you're transferring it
Speaker 8: to really remove Yeah, to really remove the contaminants, you
Speaker 8: need a zero point zero zero one micron reverse asmosis
Speaker 8: membrane that you know you can start getting ninety eight
Speaker 8: ninety nine percent reduction of everything we want removed. Then
Speaker 8: you could use activated carbon to help fight the p files.
Speaker 15: So it's a combination.
Speaker 1: So reverse osmosis in itself won't get rid of the
Speaker 1: p fis, Yes, it will, okay, but okay, but to
Speaker 1: make it affordable around the house, you want to use
Speaker 1: the carbon.
Speaker 15: Yeah, carbon filter. See it all the bends of what
Speaker 15: your hard water is.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 8: For example, you're you live in a neighborhood where you know,
Speaker 8: look how long your reverse asmosis filters last, right, right,
Speaker 8: And that's because your water hard it's was within the
Speaker 8: operating parameter.
Speaker 15: Right, So the role starts, it's to the heart of
Speaker 15: the water.
Speaker 4: The more it contaminates, correct, more beats up the filters. Okay,
Speaker 4: so the quit, the more you have to filter, you
Speaker 4: have to change them.
Speaker 1: Somebody wants to know, would it be cost prohibitive to
Speaker 1: do reverse osmosis for the whole house?
Speaker 15: That's pretty pricey.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're looking, you know, it would be the ultimate though,
Speaker 8: it would be the ultimate. We do, we do that,
Speaker 8: but in today's economy, you know, you're looking, you know,
Speaker 8: close to twenty grand.
Speaker 1: And then how much would it cost to maintain it?
Speaker 8: Well, that's the other thing is that the maintaining your
Speaker 8: filter replacements are going to be about six hundred dollars
Speaker 8: a year.
Speaker 1: Well that's not terrible.
Speaker 4: But the twenty grand up front, you would have complete
Speaker 4: reverse osmosis to your whole house, to.
Speaker 8: Your whole house, yea, absolutely correct, see modern heart.
Speaker 1: I thought it would be more than that. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize that. I mean, twenty is expensive, but if you
Speaker 1: think about it. Now, furnaces and acs are getting up
Speaker 1: there twenty.
Speaker 8: It's cheaper than a furnace and ac because you know
Speaker 8: they're between twenty to twenty five thousand.
Speaker 1: Now, no, I know some of them are ye.
Speaker 4: And then also if you if you did, let's just
Speaker 4: say theoretically in a new house, you had a reverse
Speaker 4: osmosis system.
Speaker 1: I can think of nothing else you would need.
Speaker 15: No, that's it. That takes care of everything, that gives you.
Speaker 1: What does it do about hardness.
Speaker 15: Well, you pretreat.
Speaker 8: So part of that price is having a water soe
Speaker 8: tank okay, support the whole house of verse hosmosis. Then
Speaker 8: you had a then you have a dedicated delivery pump
Speaker 8: that takes over. So you have a big holding tank,
Speaker 8: you know, like underneath your sink, you have a holding tank. Well,
Speaker 8: imagine having a two hundred and fifty gallon holding tank
Speaker 8: to hold the water. You know, produces one gallon of water,
Speaker 8: you know, one one gallon per minute, let's say, so
Speaker 8: you know it's a quick recovery. So you have a
Speaker 8: delivered separate delivery pump that then takes over and delivery
Speaker 8: to order to the house.

Speaker 1: Now, something that I was shocked to learn about.
Speaker 4: We've been talking about contaminated water with forever chemicals and plastics.
Speaker 4: Do you know carpets, certain carpets still can shed plastics.
Speaker 1: Yes, carpet. So your kids are crawling around on this carpet,
Speaker 1: they put their fingers in their mouth.
Speaker 8: That's right, and they see it. Out of the dust
Speaker 8: that you see floating in the air is plastic.
Speaker 1: Stain resistant coatings on furniture.
Speaker 15: Yeah, well that's part of it.
Speaker 8: That's the p fives, that's the red upont In three,
Speaker 8: the Scotch card that and then now those are the
Speaker 8: gen X chemicals. And gen X chemical was a regulated
Speaker 8: contaminant and then recently the e p A unregulated it.
Speaker 8: And you know it now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, people listen carefully. Forever chemicals and plastics in
Speaker 4: your carpet. There are certain carpets you have to ask
Speaker 4: for PIFI free carpet all and and actually it's it's
Speaker 4: the carpet that's treated with.
Speaker 1: The stain resistant stuff. That's the main stuff card.
Speaker 4: So does it all come down to the to the
Speaker 4: treatments and like cookwear, even there's cookware they say, we'll
Speaker 4: pass on PIFAs all of the nonstick cookware correct.
Speaker 8: Correct, anything that's teflon, you have to upgrade all your
Speaker 8: cook wear.
Speaker 1: Are they still making teflon products?
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're making teflon product. It's supposed to be phased out.
Speaker 8: But it's not just in the United States. It's in
Speaker 8: China and India, although it's other countries that aren't doing,
Speaker 8: you know, what they need to do in order to
Speaker 8: control this contaminant. This is a global issue that's not
Speaker 8: going to go away, and it's only going to get worse.
Speaker 8: And I mentioned to you, you know, off air, I'm
Speaker 8: worried about how many acres of contaminated farm land that
Speaker 8: we have regarding you know, forever chemical contamination.
Speaker 1: So listen, listen, listen. Do you know that did the
Speaker 1: microwave pop in the bags?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: The inside coating of those bags are often coated with
Speaker 1: forever chemicals.
Speaker 15: Correct, yep.
Speaker 1: And they're supposedly not supposed to leach.
Speaker 4: They say to go containers at restaurants, same thing the
Speaker 4: ones that are using paper and cardboard. Great, now, this
Speaker 4: is the one that blows my mind. We want to
Speaker 4: stay away from Forever chemicals. There are freaking companies making dental.
Speaker 1: Loss with Forever chemicals coated with plastics and Forever chemicals.
Speaker 1: God is there? Do we even have any hope? I mean,
Speaker 1: think about and I wonder how I got cancer.
Speaker 15: We have to have a serious dialogue about how we
Speaker 15: go forward.
Speaker 8: We need to bring back glass bottles and start in
Speaker 8: you know, aluminum, and it's.
Speaker 1: Good for the planet too. I mean we are into
Speaker 1: the planet. Now, let's get into it.
Speaker 15: You have waterways all over Colorado.
Speaker 8: They're contaminated with with Forever chemicals in microplastics. This is
Speaker 8: a global issue that's not going to get any better,
Speaker 8: and it's only going to get worse.
Speaker 15: We have to do something.
Speaker 4: Waterproof clothing and winter clothing often Forever chemicals. You have
Speaker 4: to specifically look look long and hard to find things
Speaker 4: without these chemicals.
Speaker 8: Now what about the firefight, know the cancer that they
Speaker 8: have because of the equipment that they wear that's treated
Speaker 8: with those chemicals.
Speaker 1: God almighty, So it's it's amazing. I did not I
Speaker 1: did not realize that there's dental flaws. Come on, it's
Speaker 1: dental flaws here.
Speaker 4: You're trying to keep it out of your body and
Speaker 4: they make dental floss with it. How do they even
Speaker 4: go to bed at night knowing they're doing this?
Speaker 8: This is something that they knew. Here's a bigger question.
Speaker 8: How they still in business? And then why weren't the
Speaker 8: lawsuits published? They settled for six hundred million dollars on
Speaker 8: something that is poisoned to earth. Six hundred million.
Speaker 15: Is all they had to pay. And you know there
Speaker 15: was a family that was ruined. There's families in can it.
Speaker 1: Never be cleaned out of the environment.
Speaker 8: Well, that's where we have to investigate. How do I
Speaker 8: mean there's specific filtration media that will work. But here's
Speaker 8: the problem. That filtration media then becomes hot. So what
Speaker 8: do you do with the filtration media?
Speaker 1: Well you obviously have to source somewhere. But the point
Speaker 1: is this drinking water? People.
Speaker 4: Come on, listen, I'm a cancer survivor at least right
Speaker 4: now I am, thank God, and I praise God for that.
Speaker 4: But here's the point is that you know where all
Speaker 4: this crap, all this crap is is is meaning something
Speaker 4: I know you've never heard of more cancer in your life.
Speaker 1: I know you haven't. I know I haven't.
Speaker 4: And a lot of that has to do with all
Speaker 4: the crap in our environment. And the least we can
Speaker 4: do is watch the food we eat and the water
Speaker 4: we drink.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you want to get a hold
