Speaker 6: have to do is give us a call at three
Speaker 6: three seven one three talk as We've been doing it
Speaker 6: for forty five years Longer elsewhere is the longer running
Speaker 6: radio show in the world with the same host still
Speaker 6: on the air. Yep, that's it. No one can lay
Speaker 6: claim to anything now. There have been shows on the
Speaker 6: air with different hosts. There have been different shows with
Speaker 6: the same hosts. There have been different radio stations, but
Speaker 6: never one show with the same host. Why do I
Speaker 6: mention that? Who gives a dam I just like to,
Speaker 6: you know, like to distinguish myself like I'm the number
Speaker 6: one president that ever lived, kind of like that. Wait,
Speaker 6: you're wrong, no what.
Speaker 7: According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest
Speaker 7: running radio show with the same host is the Folk
Speaker 7: Song Festival, hosted by Oscar Brand from Canada, which ran
Speaker 7: for seventy years and two a ninety one day.
Speaker 8: Oh wait, you're right, because you're still on the air.
Speaker 6: He's dead, right, right, Ran, That's what I said, still
Speaker 6: on the air. Yeah, yeah, you're right. I mean there
Speaker 6: have been all kinds of old efforts back in the day.
Speaker 6: How long was Paul Harvey on doing his thing?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 6: God, he was great. I loved him. Would he would
Speaker 6: he be relevant today? Oh? He had the best back.
Speaker 6: The rest of the story was great. Yeah, Steve, Welcome
Speaker 6: to the show. I'm Tom Martine. Three OHO three seven
Speaker 6: to one three talk now. I think A seven one
Speaker 6: three eight two five five. That's the studio number and
Speaker 6: the iHeart number in Denver. We also have a universal
Speaker 6: number three H three Martino that you can call twenty
Speaker 6: four to seven and if you call it, we will
Speaker 6: answer that. And if we're not here, then you leave
Speaker 6: a message and we promise you to get back to
Speaker 6: you and get you on the show. She never have
Speaker 6: to hold Steve. What's happening? This was an issue with
Speaker 6: century Link. It was kind of frustrating, But February tenth,
Speaker 6: you called century Link to transfer a landline for your dad.
Speaker 6: He was going from Loveland to Westminster, to an assisted
Speaker 6: care or whatever. They turned off the Loveland but did
Speaker 6: not activate Westminster. Deputy D said he want Deputy D's
Speaker 6: not here right now, but he was going to work
Speaker 6: on it.
Speaker 4: Actually I worked on that, Tom.
Speaker 6: Oh, thank you. Let me change that. Thank you, Sus.
Speaker 6: And then we talked about Sus. We talked about at
Speaker 6: the time a solution could be just a simple cell
Speaker 6: phone with big numbers and stuff that his dad could
Speaker 6: operate and forget the sentry link. Yeah, so tell me
Speaker 6: what happened.
Speaker 10: We just ended up reaching out to our angel yesterday
Speaker 10: and they got him handled within a couple hours.
Speaker 6: It was great, easy pasy.
Speaker 11: That's okay.
Speaker 6: So they actually moved Steve, the line was moved.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 11: The biggest problem all along was having them show up
Speaker 11: where they were supposed to show up. They kept going
Speaker 11: back to the old address.
Speaker 6: I know, they kept going back to where it was
Speaker 6: turned off.
Speaker 11: Right, and that wasn't doing any good. So I think
Speaker 11: Sus finally got it straightened out and they showed up
Speaker 11: where they were supposed to.
Speaker 9: And when the.
Speaker 11: Tech got there, I had no doubt that he was
Speaker 11: going to take care of the problem, and he did
Speaker 11: in short order. And he just had to correct some
Speaker 11: wiring problems, and away we went. He called me after
Speaker 11: he was done, and my wife was over at the time.
Speaker 11: He called me after he was done, he says, he goes, boy,
Speaker 11: I don't really know what happened, but it sure got
Speaker 11: pretty exciting over here with all the phone calls. Man,
Speaker 11: so somebody put a fire ernath somebody, so they got
Speaker 11: it straighten Dow.
Speaker 6: Isn't that nice that in today's world, Steve? Isn't it
Speaker 6: nice you can reach out and actually get help? Still? Oh,
Speaker 6: and sus took that very personally. She's figuring, you know what,
Speaker 6: the poor guy just wants a phone. And I'm going
Speaker 6: to give the dinger to both you, for your dad
Speaker 6: and for sus. Hey, I'm listen, hey, so people who
Speaker 6: work together should not be married, Steve, he's upset I
Speaker 6: gave the dinger to his wife. She deserves it. In fact,
Speaker 6: she deserves it more for all the behind stuff. Oh
Speaker 6: my god, you wouldn't believe how many mistakes she finds
Speaker 6: in my in my life. Oh god, yeah, I bet
Speaker 6: this is a true story years ago. And thank you
Speaker 6: for calling years ago. And people are going to think
Speaker 6: I'm decing it and stupid. But this was years ago,
Speaker 6: years and years ago. It doesn't apply today. She found
Speaker 6: some missing money. It wasn't an count I never even
Speaker 6: knew I had half a million. It was like, no,
Speaker 6: two fifty two hundred and fifty thousand. How much was it?
Speaker 7: That's a couple hundred gets Yes, yes, it was under
Speaker 7: his vacuum.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, right anyway, Joel, Oh, excuse me not, Joel.
Speaker 6: Maggie now had a Volkswagen issue from yesterday. Who knows
Speaker 6: I used my dinger too much? I might, Well, it's
Speaker 6: not it's not bad. You know, you got to use
Speaker 6: it once in a while. So Maggie said, hey, I
Speaker 6: had a Volkswagen issue, and she said it was a
Speaker 6: It was on February seventeenth. She bought it a Tiguan
Speaker 6: from Emmic, and she discovered an oil leak. Now they
Speaker 6: say it'll take a few weeks to fix it. She
Speaker 6: says she's moving, and I said, well, I know that's terrible,
Speaker 6: but it really is, and it's going to delay you.
Speaker 6: And you can get a loaner, but you can't take
Speaker 6: it with you. So I said, the fact that you're
Speaker 6: moving is not a problem, but let's try. Let's try
Speaker 6: to see if they'll make some special, some special race
Speaker 6: for you, and I gave it to Deputy Chopper. What happened, Maggie,
Speaker 6: So Chopper.
Speaker 5: Pauled and spoke with Paul, the sales manager, and they
Speaker 5: took care of me and gave me a new vehicle.
Speaker 6: Wow, oh my god.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were great, with twenty thousand miles less.
Speaker 6: On it than the car I bought. And Maggie, you
Speaker 6: better tell people about tell people about the Troubleshooter Show.
Speaker 6: I want everyone to tell people about the Troubleshooter Show
Speaker 6: so they can get help. Now. I don't mean to
Speaker 6: be a jerk here, but I'm going to be a
Speaker 6: jerk for a minute. Now. I want you to see,
Speaker 6: in just two minutes of the show or five minutes
Speaker 6: of the show, we solved two major problems. Do you
Speaker 6: know that on television? And I love these people. They're
Speaker 6: they're good young people. Steve Steve Sager or whatever he's
Speaker 6: on channel, he's a good guy. And the problem solvers
Speaker 6: on Fox thirty one, they're good people. I'm not trust me.
Speaker 6: The more we have, the merrier, But do you realize
Speaker 6: in TV they do one of those a week maybe
Speaker 6: or two a week and they do a big story
Speaker 6: on it on television and call it good. And you
Speaker 6: just heard in the first ten minutes of this show,
Speaker 6: two major problems solved, ding Ding Ding. Now again, I'm
Speaker 6: not throwing stones at anybody. I want these young people
Speaker 6: to come up and be strong. I want I want
Speaker 6: more consumer advocates than you can count, because when I started,
Speaker 6: there was no such thing on the news. Nothing. The
Speaker 6: only consumer advocate when I started was Betty Furness, and
Speaker 6: she did market basket reports, meaning she'd go to the market,
Speaker 6: the supermarket and tell you if your market basket was,
Speaker 6: if your basket was going to cost more or less.
Speaker 6: And then there was a guy who wasn't a consumer reporter,
Speaker 6: but he was a kick ass guy, and I kind
Speaker 6: of modeled myself behind him and the other and Betty
Speaker 6: Furness believer it, and that was Heraldo. And Heraldo was
Speaker 6: a lawyer who just decided he wanted to go into broadcasting.
Speaker 6: He was on WABC in New York and a local
Speaker 6: reporter there and one of the first reports of his
Speaker 6: not first first big ones, was a mental health facility
Speaker 6: that he blew the whistle on and the deplorable conditions
Speaker 6: people were living in So anyway, I just digress a little, right,
Speaker 6: because I'm an old fart Magan.
Speaker 7: Most people can't even imagine how bad that was when
Speaker 7: he walked in there. I think he stole the key
Speaker 7: or got a key from an employee. But I saw
Speaker 7: the old video of it, picture a big room with
Speaker 7: just people wandering around, basically in the dark, with feces everywhere.
Speaker 7: It was unlike anything I've ever seen. No, and we
Speaker 7: were living there at the time. You were living upstate
Speaker 7: New York at the time, right, I wasn't even I
Speaker 7: don't even think I was born at that time. I
Speaker 7: watched it later on because I was curious how he
Speaker 7: got started.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that, well that was what he had been
Speaker 6: there a lot earlier than that, but that was his
Speaker 6: first big story. So I worked with a lot of grace.
Speaker 6: I worked with Tony Geida, I worked with and and
Speaker 6: David Harrowitz was doing stuff, and so I got to
Speaker 6: know and talk to these guys. It was just wonder
Speaker 6: Not long ago or over nine to eleve no, Hannity
Speaker 6: and I. Hannity and I became friends. When I did
Speaker 6: my show on WABC in New York. He was doing
Speaker 6: a show and I was doing a show and they
Speaker 6: were both local and we both syndicated, and I remember
Speaker 6: Sean saying to me, and he was right, he really was.
Speaker 6: He says, Tom, you've got to give people Now. I
Speaker 6: don't know if he was right. He said years and
Speaker 6: years ago, Tom, you got to give yourself a little
Speaker 6: more pottle politics because everything consumer comes from politics, and
Speaker 6: you got to throw a political angle. And I said,
Speaker 6: but I think people want to relief from politics, don't they?
Speaker 6: And he says no, I really really think that they
Speaker 6: want to. They want they just want something to latch onto.
Speaker 6: And then of course, literally at WABC, people think I'm kidding.
Speaker 6: We had a studio none of us could use, and
Speaker 6: it was the Golden microphone and it was called EIB
Speaker 6: Excellent and Broadcasting, And actually that wasn't really the name
Speaker 6: of the company, but EIB was on his microphone. And
Speaker 6: so that company that was Rush's office in Rush would
Speaker 6: go from there to Florida and he would do a show.
Speaker 6: But he had come from California. He was just a
Speaker 6: POTONK radio person they put on the air and syndicated.
Speaker 6: And Edward J. McLaughlin, the president of ABC News, left
Speaker 6: ABC left it to form a company called EFM stands
Speaker 6: for Edward McLaughlin. He's formed the company around Rush Limbaugh
Speaker 6: and then started syndicating other people. One was doctor Dean
Speaker 6: Adele and the other one was me when they wanted
Speaker 6: to start. Then we had a falling out, but that's
Speaker 6: a long story. Three oh three seven one three A
Speaker 6: two five five. I remember meeting in New York with
Speaker 6: those guys, and let me tell you Rush Limbaugh on
Speaker 6: absolute professional, a cool guy and a smart guy. We

Speaker 6: and then you have the reliability of the of that heritage.
Speaker 6: So you know, they've been around sixty five years. Of course,
Speaker 6: Steve wasn't born when it started, and I don't know
Speaker 6: his dad might have been a baby too, I don't know.
Speaker 6: But when it started sixty five years ago from Henry Zeligman,
Speaker 6: I believe it was. And Henry started that and his
Speaker 6: wife Kay there for the name K and H and
Speaker 6: then and then we it was sold to somebody that
Speaker 6: I know very well, and then it was sold to
Speaker 6: Lee and Steve. Yet is haven't you guys done?
Speaker 7: Painting forever though. When you guys do siding and stuff
Speaker 7: or what.
Speaker 12: Yeah, generally are siding.
Speaker 6: It and ted ted rowland once in a while, said
Speaker 6: the previous owner said. When they needed miss laneous painting,
Speaker 6: they would just sub it out, or the homeowner would
Speaker 6: find somebody. And now it's all in one. They can
Speaker 6: send Andy out there and his team to take care
Speaker 6: of it. Let me go to Joel. He has an
Speaker 6: issue with house painting, actually by coincidence, And then I'll
Speaker 6: ask you about the house painting part, Joel, what's going on?
Speaker 13: Hey, how are you doing?
Speaker 6: Tom good Man? What's happening with you?
Speaker 13: So I'm kind of in a bind, and I don't
Speaker 13: never called the show before, but I'm getting some exterior
Speaker 13: paint done. I have a company called don't if I'm
Speaker 13: allowed to say it on the air, but it's around opening.
Speaker 6: You can mention, listen, you can mention anything you want
Speaker 6: as long as it's the truth or the truth in
Speaker 6: your opinion, without you making up stories and lying. So
Speaker 6: you are having an issue with a house painter.
Speaker 13: Yeah, he quoted me to start with the garage, and
Speaker 13: we got our tax returns. We're on a budget, but
Speaker 13: I have a North Denver house. I have a separate
Speaker 13: detached garage. It has yeah side.
Speaker 6: Well, what's the issue, bro, What what is the issue? Yeah?
Speaker 13: Well, he's been doing work since Monday and there was
Speaker 13: no prep work done. It got rained on after they
Speaker 13: sprayed a layer of paint Monday and there's a rainstorm
Speaker 13: at the end of the day. Some of the MDF
Speaker 13: sightings been warped. I pulled them off the job. I'm
Speaker 13: not happy with the work, the coding. It's a stray job,
Speaker 13: looks uneven, And upon talking to another paining company, he
Speaker 13: was saying, I wouldn't even be doing exterior paint this
Speaker 13: time of the year, not even until eight.
Speaker 14: Okay, when when did you?
Speaker 6: Here's what I want to know. How. First of all,
Speaker 6: how did you find the painter?
Speaker 13: He came up to my door and he dropped off
Speaker 13: a flyer on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's good thing. I'm doing solicitation. Let me
Speaker 6: tell you about the pool of solicitation. What I mean
Speaker 6: by this. The pool of solicitation doesn't mean everyone's a crook,
Speaker 6: but the out of a pool of companies that's solicit
Speaker 6: ninety percent of them are terrible. So I'm not saying
Speaker 6: that every single person that comes to your door is terrible.
Speaker 6: What I'm saying is you have more of a chance
Speaker 6: being ripped off by the pool of solicitation and that
Speaker 6: sweats just around. Instead of ninety percent being bad, sense
Speaker 6: is good and ten percent are bad when you do
Speaker 6: the proactivity. So these guys came to your door, you
Speaker 6: hired him, and they did a bad job. Is that
Speaker 6: it in a nutshell?
Speaker 13: They haven't finished. I pulled them off the job and
Speaker 13: told them to pick up their tools. And he's want Okay,
Speaker 13: what he quoted for materials?
Speaker 6: What did he quote hold on? What was the entire contract?
Speaker 13: Am? I didn't sign anything? It was verbal. He did
Speaker 13: send some invoices. Uh, it was wait a minute, the
Speaker 13: house mostly brick and then twenty five to do deciding.
Speaker 6: On the garage and painted twenty five what one hundred? Okay?
Speaker 6: So this painting contractor what you say? The name is.
Speaker 13: Are a U n o.
Speaker 6: Are Au? Oh? That so that's his name?
Speaker 13: I'm sorry?
Speaker 6: Are are you?
Speaker 13: Are you a n O's Roan?
Speaker 6: Whatever? Is that his name? Yeah?
Speaker 13: I believe it's his last first name is Byron.
Speaker 6: Okay, listen, here's what I want to ask. It was
Speaker 6: so bad you had to pull them off the job.
Speaker 6: But you have nothing to show, nothing at all on
Speaker 6: what it was supposed to cost or what he was
Speaker 6: going to do as far as process. I mean, all
Speaker 6: you have are some loose invoices. How much does he want? Right?
Speaker 13: Yeah? The total all said, and don once we've spoken men,
Speaker 13: he quoted, it would be four thousand dollars. That was
Speaker 13: a verbal agreement, and he's wanting two thousand dollars to
Speaker 13: pull off the job for materials and he said, He's like.
Speaker 6: Well, let me ask you something. Do you have materials
Speaker 6: left over that you get to keep or is that
Speaker 6: for what he's done so far?
Speaker 13: I asked him, he has five gallons of paint left
Speaker 13: if he wanted to drop those off. But the siding
Speaker 13: is already on the house and it's been warped, and
Speaker 13: it's it already needs to be replaced.
Speaker 6: What what do you mean paint doesn't warp. What are
Speaker 6: you talking about.
Speaker 8: He said, siding? Did the guy put siding on the
Speaker 8: entire garage?
Speaker 13: He put the lower four panels of the NBA twelve
Speaker 13: inch siding around the perimeter of the garage. He said
Speaker 13: it was pretty primed, but he never primed it, they
Speaker 13: sprayed it with paint, and then it rained and now
Speaker 13: it's wavy all the way down the side of the house.
Speaker 6: Okay, so you got a guy that came to your door,
Speaker 6: you got nothing in writing, and then you had a
Speaker 6: bad job. So this is this is pretty typical. What
Speaker 6: I want to know is do you think that if
Speaker 6: you were expecting to pay four thousand, which by the way,
Speaker 6: might be artificially low. But if you were expecting to
Speaker 6: pay four and you've and he wants to would you
Speaker 6: be upside down? In other words, do you have to
Speaker 6: start from scratch and tear everything off?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 13: I spoke with another painter. He was saying it might
Speaker 13: cost fifteen hundred dollars just to fix what they did,
Speaker 13: aside from to finish them.
Speaker 6: Okay, here's what I want to ask you. How'd you
Speaker 6: find the other painter.
Speaker 13: He did our interior when he bought the house. He's
Speaker 13: a friend who runs a company himself.
Speaker 6: Okay, and you've used him before and you like him,
Speaker 6: why didn't you use him this time around?
Speaker 13: I mean, we are on a budget and it seemed
Speaker 13: like a good cost. I haven't found somebody who is
Speaker 13: able to source the sighting that was on their originally
Speaker 13: and he said he had it.
Speaker 6: So okay, all right, hey listen, we all make mistakes,
Speaker 6: so so here here's your choice. Bro, It's very easy.
Speaker 6: You go after you don't pay him a dime. He's
Speaker 6: gonna put a lien on your house, or you're gonna
Speaker 6: fight it because the leen's gonna drop off. If this
Speaker 6: guy doesn't sound like he's going to go ahead and
Speaker 6: foreclose on, let's.
Speaker 7: Get his info too, and maybe we can reach out
Speaker 7: to him and try to get a better deal or something.
Speaker 6: Yeah, a better deal. Wait, it's not a better deal.
Speaker 6: The guy it's gonna talk. It's gonna take fifteen hundred
Speaker 6: to fix, get it. If what I'm saying is I'd
Speaker 6: like to hear his side of the story.
Speaker 7: But also if there is some materials, maybe some more
Speaker 7: siding something, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 6: Let's see. He seems to that pretty good reparce. Well,
Speaker 6: that's certainly always a good idea to to let you know,
Speaker 6: to call, so give give Kelly the information that you
Speaker 6: have on him. Very good idea. Three O three seven

Speaker 6: here three O three seven one three talk seven one
Speaker 6: three eight two five five So andy, I'll bet you
Speaker 6: you get a lot of times when you can't beat
Speaker 6: a quote on painting, and the reason you can't is
Speaker 6: because you know what it takes to do it the
Speaker 6: right way. And I heard that ninety percent ninety percent
Speaker 6: is prep.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's that's right. You know, prep is the most
Speaker 15: important thing on a paint job. You know, in this
Speaker 15: scenario with the garage and Joel's project, you know, powerwashing
Speaker 15: to clean off any dirt debris that has embedded on
Speaker 15: the surface is going to be key.
Speaker 14: Outside of the fact that right.
Speaker 15: Now we're in a gray area in terms of weather
Speaker 15: temperature not necessary. During the day, Colorado sun's pretty hot,
Speaker 15: but at night we're dropping well below thirty two and
Speaker 15: we're working with water based products, so water freezes at
Speaker 15: thirty two. So if that's any indication, you know, we're
Speaker 15: kind of in a gray area.
Speaker 14: So most paint is formulated.
Speaker 15: To be applied at thirty five degrees, but we really
Speaker 15: like to see twenty four to thirty six hours above
Speaker 15: thirty five degrees for a proper cure.
Speaker 6: Okay, hey, Joel, did this guy paint when it was
Speaker 6: under thirty five at least at night? Joel? Is Joel there? Joel?
Speaker 6: Are you still there? Yeah? Joel?
Speaker 7: Yeah, did he paint when it was negative or not negative,
Speaker 7: but under thirty five?
Speaker 13: It was on Monday, so it was a sixty degree day.
Speaker 13: But by the end of the day the storm rolled
Speaker 13: in and and you know, instead of snowing, it actually
Speaker 13: rained on the fresh paint, and then you know it
Speaker 13: got cold overnight.
Speaker 15: Yeah, so you know, ethically, as a paint company, I
Speaker 15: would want to look at the forecasts and whether they
Speaker 15: saw snow or rain in the forecast. That's something where
Speaker 15: I would have, you know, hey, we're going to pull
Speaker 15: off for a day or two and revisit this when
Speaker 15: we have weather. That's appropriate because they may have painted
Speaker 15: it at we'll just say forty degrees, but that slows
Speaker 15: down the curing process of the product. So we'd really
Speaker 15: want to see it warmer than that. And then that
Speaker 15: rain basically washed away any results that you're.
Speaker 14: Going to get out of that product.
Speaker 6: Well, we know the guy doesn't want full payment.
Speaker 7: I'm curious what he did, but we're going to find out, Tom,
Speaker 7: because we've got this guy on the contractor buyro and
Speaker 7: go ahead. That's very nice, Hey, Byron, thanks for coming on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, go ahead, Tom. So, Byron, why do you feel
Speaker 6: that you should get two thousand dollars when another contractor
Speaker 6: said just to fix what you did wrong is going
Speaker 6: to cost fifteen hundred. Now we haven't seen the job.
Speaker 6: We're just going by what the homeowner, Joel is telling us.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Byron, Okay.
Speaker 9: Okay, you know, because I change a lot of wool,
Speaker 9: I change a lot of sighting. You can go to
Speaker 9: see how much is the price on the siding. I'm
Speaker 9: ready to put the siding, and I'm ready to buy
Speaker 9: the paint. And you know, for all the job, I
Speaker 9: changed forty five and I asked Joe pay me two
Speaker 9: thousands because I'm ready changed the siding. I hunch a
Speaker 9: lot of sighting, and I buy siding, and I buy
Speaker 9: a lot of paint.
Speaker 6: But but but Byron, they said it was done wrong
Speaker 6: and they have to correct it. Do you not believe that?
Speaker 9: No, you can go to see Okay, I don't know
Speaker 9: what you know.
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe we should have it checked out. Joel positive
Speaker 6: that yeah, what area?
Speaker 9: Yeah, you can go check because I buy Where is
Speaker 9: it though?
Speaker 7: Is it like Lakewood or Parker or Castle Rock? Where
Speaker 7: is it?
Speaker 6: Where is it? Joel? Hey, we can have maybe Andy
Speaker 6: can run over to look at it. Well, not today,
Speaker 6: but when he gets a chance and give an opinion
Speaker 6: on it.
Speaker 7: If he's willing to do that, that'd be great the
Speaker 7: K and H painting guys or Steve the painter or someoney,
Speaker 7: but I would love that Andy, Would you be willing
Speaker 7: to do that for us?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 15: Absolutely, I think that would be a good middle ground
Speaker 15: to figure out what's going on and what the remedy
Speaker 15: is to fixate.
Speaker 6: So Andy, would i'd like you to specifically look at
Speaker 6: and this is K and H Painting Pros with Kgwindows
Speaker 6: dot Com. What I would like the painting pros to
Speaker 6: look at is if truly there is any value in
Speaker 6: the work done or will it have to be dismantled
Speaker 6: and redone because siding. But Byron, you deserve at least
Speaker 6: someone to look at it, because we don't know we're
Speaker 6: going about what Joel's saying, and we'd be happy to
Speaker 6: have somebody come over. And Joel, I think you'd be
Speaker 6: happy to have an independent look at it, wouldn't you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 13: And I told Barron, I just want it to be
Speaker 13: done right, you know, And Okay, I'm not trying to
Speaker 13: anything up, but you know, I just want done right.
Speaker 6: And what are what are your alternatives? Really? Right now?
Speaker 6: We have to just see what we can do now, Byron,
Speaker 6: how long have you been in business?
Speaker 13: I'm being told quit until April.
Speaker 9: I'm twenty years of ready, And okay, I don't have
Speaker 9: any problems with anybody. If you want, I can give
Speaker 9: you a reference. And everybody is coppied with my work.
Speaker 9: And if I okay, I don't judge forty five because
Speaker 9: you say that yap is bad, the yap is bob.
Speaker 9: When I change a lot of wool and I ask
Speaker 9: if she want me to finish up the yap, I
Speaker 9: can finish up wool. If no, she can, he said,
Speaker 9: I can pay you two thousand. Okay, pay me two
Speaker 9: thousands and I can go. Isn't not a problem if
Speaker 9: you want to come pay Byron.
Speaker 6: Byron, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna send
Speaker 6: an independent person over there to look at it. If
Speaker 6: you want to be there when we look at it,
Speaker 6: you can do that too. I mean, listen, this doesn't
Speaker 6: have to be This doesn't have to be adversarial or conflict.
Speaker 8: And the guys can just pretty solid.
Speaker 6: Coming on. We appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 7: Let me ask you something though, Byron, do you agree
Speaker 7: that the paints messed up because it rained or whatever?
Speaker 7: But but you're saying the siding and the other work
Speaker 7: you did was good, and that's why you want to
Speaker 7: twenty five hundred?
Speaker 6: Am I correct?
Speaker 9: I don't want to twenty five ice eight two thousands?
Speaker 9: That's fine, Yeah, I say two thousands. What is that?
Speaker 6: Why did I describe it? Right?
Speaker 9: Yeah? The wold and everything is good. And you know,
Speaker 9: I asked to join this morning. If something's happened with
Speaker 9: the rain the last day, I can put another color
Speaker 9: of paint. The house is not a problem for me.

Speaker 6: do meaning is we're going to have an expert look
Speaker 6: at it and get the definitive answer. So well, THEEW
Speaker 6: remaining a few minutes, I'll just I'll just let Mark
Speaker 6: get pissed off from these texts I'm getting from the
Speaker 6: same old people. I get to say, it's only one
Speaker 6: I helped Mark. I no, no, actually I have three
Speaker 6: or four of them. One is Monty, the other is Cliff.
Speaker 6: I have another guy named Robert and Richard. Now, but
Speaker 6: there are various ones that did. I think they're literally
Speaker 6: just gaslighting. I don't think they even actually mean what
Speaker 6: they say. So it said, let me just give you
Speaker 6: the conglomerate. So once Mark heard that speech, how could
Speaker 6: he ever justify what Trump is doing? He was a blowhard,
Speaker 6: and the Democrats were right in protesting everything.
Speaker 7: See people like that, they're just they're fake. That's not
Speaker 7: even a real person.
Speaker 6: Tom. So you really think they're just doing that to
Speaker 6: get you picked, or to get us pissed, or to
Speaker 6: just you.
Speaker 7: Know, it doesn't irritate me. Even CNN said, hey, that
Speaker 7: was pretty good, you know. I mean, they can't stand Trump.
Speaker 6: So so here's what I don't understand about the whole
Speaker 6: speech thing. I don't understand how they could not cheer
Speaker 6: for the local heroes at least like the kid that
Speaker 6: want to get into West Point. That one girl that
Speaker 6: was injured with a brain injury. Now she's getting better,
Speaker 6: and she was trampled by a transgender guy. I mean, look,
Speaker 6: he did tread on some holy waters right that men
Speaker 6: are men and women are women. Okay, how democrats do
Speaker 6: not believe that. Democrats do not believe it. They believe
Speaker 6: you are that they don't want to be.
Speaker 7: That doesn't make any sense when it comes to like
Speaker 7: the guy that is going to West Point Now, it
Speaker 7: doesn't have anything.
Speaker 6: To do with that.
Speaker 7: That kid that had the traumatic brain injury and always
Speaker 7: wanted to be and.
Speaker 6: They wouldn't they wouldn't clap for that kid that became
Speaker 6: an honorary member.
Speaker 7: Well, what are you going to do with your service?
Speaker 7: Once your delusional? How do you get out of there?
Speaker 7: I don't know how you change your mind. I don't
Speaker 7: know how you become a real person after you go
Speaker 7: that that far. I don't know, Tom, I just I
Speaker 7: wish I did know, because the new mellow Mark would
Speaker 7: love to help these people.
Speaker 6: So if I really want to talk about well I'm
Speaker 6: serious now three oh three Marks. I want to talk

Speaker 6: pretty serious. Let's talk to Claudia. Hello, Claudia, thank you
Speaker 6: for calling us. I hope we can help. What's going on?
Speaker 10: We have a gentleman in our town who's paralyzed. I'm sorry,
Speaker 10: I have a cold, so please forgive me. He's paralyzed.
Speaker 16: Oh, it's okay me.
Speaker 10: He has an old, old, old piece of jug car
Speaker 10: that he uses with handicap, Jerry rigged handicap. The car
Speaker 10: is falling out.
Speaker 6: Now when you say in your town, when you say
Speaker 6: in your town, what are we talking about?
Speaker 10: Immer City?
Speaker 6: Okay? And how do you know him?
Speaker 10: Actually? I was contacted by one of the council members
Speaker 10: morning because I've done a lot of this stuff before,
Speaker 10: finding things for people. But I thought maybe you had
Speaker 10: an idea of which way I could go to see
Speaker 10: if there would be someone out there that would have
Speaker 10: a nice used van that he could get. He doesn't
Speaker 10: even have a ramp. He slides down a hunk of wood.
Speaker 6: No, wait a minute, he gets on and off sliding
Speaker 6: down a hunk of wood. And then he has his wheelchair.
Speaker 10: He carries plywood that he decides to get out and
Speaker 10: out of his car. He doesn't have a ramp for.
Speaker 6: That either, so he did and how does he get
Speaker 6: his wheelchair out?
Speaker 10: And then he just pulls it out with a rope?
Speaker 10: He's very very.
Speaker 6: So how old is this man?
Speaker 10: It's he doesn't have much of anything. So we're just
Speaker 10: trying to find the direction, and I thought maybe you
Speaker 10: could give me a.
Speaker 6: Direction, like what what tell me about him? Is the
Speaker 6: older young? And what does he do around town?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Okay? And how long? And basically he just needs basic transportation.
Speaker 10: That's all he needs is something to handicap that he
Speaker 10: can get in and out of.
Speaker 6: And why did a city council member call you did
Speaker 6: someone go to city council about it?
Speaker 10: No, I've been out here for one hundred years and
Speaker 10: I'm really good friends with some of the council people
Speaker 10: out here, and they know that a lot of this
Speaker 10: worked before in my lifetime.
Speaker 6: Sure. Yeah, a community activist, we call him. So you
Speaker 6: help people. But why did it get to their attention?
Speaker 6: How did they find out about this guy needing every morning?
Speaker 10: We have a donut shop here, I think you've seen
Speaker 10: it on the news. It's one of the onest donut shops.
Speaker 10: And he goes there every morning to visit with the guy.
Speaker 10: He's a council whoever is there and they go out
Speaker 10: and they help him get out of his car and
Speaker 10: then they help him get back in his car. But
Speaker 10: they don't know how he manages to get in and
Speaker 10: out of the car by herself, all the time by
Speaker 10: his house, with what he has to do.
Speaker 6: And is the is the van right now? Is it
Speaker 6: broken down?
Speaker 10: It's a car, It's an old car that's probably got
Speaker 10: some handbrakes and stuff that's been put in it a
Speaker 10: long time ago.
Speaker 6: So right now though it's still running, right, even though
Speaker 6: it's on its last leg.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's still running and so we're just starting to
Speaker 10: do some searching, and I listened to you all the time,
Speaker 10: and I thought, well, maybe.
Speaker 6: He could give me sure, sure, sure, sure.
Speaker 10: Now so I don't know where to go anymore.
Speaker 6: I'm wondering. I am wondering if maybe, like somebody has
Speaker 6: some kind of handicap accessible van or a van that
Speaker 6: he could use, or an old one that they would donate.
Speaker 6: That might happen. We never know. It could be old,
Speaker 6: it could be but he needs. Basically, what we're talking
Speaker 6: about is he needs a handy capped accessible van.
Speaker 10: Absolutely absolutely, And you know he's getting older at sixty five.
Speaker 10: You know, it's getting harder and harder. I would imagine
Speaker 10: on his arms and his upper torso to move himself
Speaker 10: around like that.
Speaker 6: You know, Now, how does he do? You know? How
Speaker 6: where does he live? In all of that? Do you
Speaker 6: have any idea about that?
Speaker 10: I have a big idea where he is at, And
Speaker 10: they're probably just some lower end apartments that we have
Speaker 10: because I don't think he has anything, but I can.
Speaker 10: I'm just in the middle of doing some research on
Speaker 10: all of that. But I thought maybe mister Marcino could
Speaker 10: give me some direction.
Speaker 6: Well, we're going to start let's let's at least start
Speaker 6: right now, that's what we do. Let's just start it.
Speaker 6: Let's start by looking for used accessible vans. They don't
Speaker 6: have to be fancy. They can be even hand cranked,
Speaker 6: because this guy would probably think that was a luxury.
Speaker 6: If he could just swing an arm out and raise
Speaker 6: and lower his wheelchair, he would think that was a
Speaker 6: So if we can find that, that would be wonderful.
Speaker 6: And then if we have to raise some money, we
Speaker 6: could try to do that. I want to just verify
Speaker 6: the story, of course, and all of that. So Kachina,
Speaker 6: could you get basic information from her? And then Bo
Speaker 6: if you could do me a favor and just start
Speaker 6: a cursory search of anything like vans or anything like that,
Speaker 6: just to see if we could help out.
Speaker 3: I've already started, and I was going to give a
Speaker 3: call over to Lincoln Auto Tech.
Speaker 6: They may have a source for something. Now why Lincoln
Speaker 6: Auto Tech, Well, is that the vocational school.
Speaker 3: It's a vacational school, and sometimes they will fix up
Speaker 3: cars for people and need. So I'm thinking, I wonder
Speaker 3: if his existing vehicle can be modified somehow, and Lincoln
Speaker 3: Auto Tech maybe an avenue to have that done. If
Speaker 3: the existing vehicle can be modified.
Speaker 6: What were you gonna say, Deputy d Claudia.
Speaker 17: Well, while they were talking, I looked up this website.
Speaker 17: It's called the Mobility the Mobility Resource, the Mobility Resource,
Speaker 17: and they list looks like at least five Colorado UH
Speaker 17: agencies and private parties or you know, private organizations that
Speaker 17: provide grants either in full or partial grants for people
Speaker 17: to acquire.
Speaker 6: But I wonder if that'll take forever. I mean, I
Speaker 6: don't know it.
Speaker 17: Might, but they have phone numbers for all of these locations,
Speaker 17: and so Claudia or someone else can just start calling
Speaker 17: to to get an overview of what the process will be. Like, Clodia,
Speaker 17: do you have something to write this with?
Speaker 6: Claudia, Yes, we also want you to call this place.
Speaker 6: We're gonna still help, but we want you to make
Speaker 6: some calls as well. Go ahead.
Speaker 17: The Mobility Yeah, it's called the Mobility rece the Mobility
Speaker 17: Resource dot com, the Mobility Resource dot com and right there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, yeah, and they.
Speaker 17: List looks like at least six organizations here in Colorado
Speaker 17: that provide either full or partial funding for wheelchair adapted vans. Okay,
Speaker 17: so you may as well give it you may as
Speaker 17: well give them all a call just to see what
Speaker 17: the process is like.
Speaker 6: That's the good place to start.
Speaker 10: I will be working with the counselman Sean Ford from out.
Speaker 6: Here, Oh even better good, and then Deputy Bo who's
Speaker 6: in the studio will be contacting you. And what we'll
Speaker 6: do is we'll just sift through these and see if
Speaker 6: we can find somebody or maybe someone listening right now says,
Speaker 6: you know what, I know, So and so just passed
Speaker 6: away and his widow has a van, or we have
Speaker 6: a van that we used to have, or that we
Speaker 6: don't use anymore, whatever so that we used to use.
Speaker 6: So let's just see what we can do. But it
Speaker 6: all starts with this phone call, doesn't it. So you've
Speaker 6: done something, You've done something very kind to be involved.
Speaker 6: What else do you get involved in a commerce city?
Speaker 6: I find community activism very thankless. It's very thankless. Sometimes
Speaker 6: you try to right the wrongs and you try to
Speaker 6: make things right. What kind of things do you are
Speaker 6: challenged to you?
Speaker 10: Oh, well, I'm kind of semi retired, but I was.
Speaker 10: We had our own nonprofit housing corporation where we helped
Speaker 10: people get settled in houses and work. Do work on
Speaker 10: them to get to own them. We've done that. I
Speaker 10: work with one of I used to work with one
Speaker 10: of the companies called Feline Fix for low cost fan
Speaker 10: owns because people just don't have the money for that.
Speaker 10: That's very expensive. I ran a nonprofit non kill animal shelter.
Speaker 6: Now I wonder if any of my staff I'm asking
Speaker 6: my staff if any of them can read my mind
Speaker 6: as to why I'm grilling her right now for information?
Speaker 6: Why can anybody? Can anybody guess any ideas? All right?
Speaker 7: Come on, uh, let me take a stab at it.
Speaker 6: Another deputy. Yes, a deputy, A female deputy. Wait? Wait,
Speaker 6: a female? Well we making assumptions? No, A yeah, but
Speaker 6: it doesn't and it doesn't matter what you are. But
Speaker 6: you sound very capable. And again, I'm not going to
Speaker 6: put you on the spot, but put her on hold
Speaker 6: and just see if she'd like to help us from
Speaker 6: time to time, case by case. It would be wonderful.
Speaker 6: I'm Tom Martine Moore coming up. Go with a sure
Speaker 6: thing Denver's Best roofer excel roofing dot com.
Speaker 2: You don't pay a cent until you're content.

Speaker 6: customer when you choose Frank durand the real estate man
Speaker 6: dot com to list your home with Remax Alliance three
Speaker 6: three nine two zero sixteen twenty two. Hi Tom Martino,
Speaker 6: your troubleshooter. Hey did we did we hoodwink that woman
Speaker 6: into being one of our deputies? Kachina? Did you talk
Speaker 6: to her off the air? I got her written? You know,
Speaker 6: somebody said Tom Trump had an amazing night. He is
Speaker 6: doing some amazing things for America. Is going to take
Speaker 6: some time, but he's being a man of his word.
Speaker 6: Costs have gone up, but we were left with a mess. Okay, people,
Speaker 6: this is and Montyan is gang. I call it the
Speaker 6: other guys and I don't even know if it might
Speaker 6: be Manty with different names right now, but basically there's
Speaker 6: even think it's a real person. Now Monty's a real person.
Speaker 6: He's called before. Oh but here's what I'm getting from.
Speaker 6: And I know here Mark, here's what pisses Mark off
Speaker 6: is And I know what he's talking about he and
Speaker 6: he does have a point. He says that I kind
Speaker 6: of exaggerate the other side, as if it's many, many,
Speaker 6: many people. I don't mean to give that impression at all.
Speaker 6: What I mean to say is there are other people
Speaker 6: that think these things, and for me, it's hard to believe.
Speaker 6: It's hard to believe that. I just got a text
Speaker 6: here that said, Tom, if someone declares themselves a female,
Speaker 6: there is no reason they should not be a female, period,
Speaker 6: and there is no reason why they should not compete
Speaker 6: with females period. Now, someone really just yes, even if
Speaker 6: they took even if they took hormones or decreased testosterone,
Speaker 6: their bonest Michael Brown I listened to today and he
Speaker 6: went through a lot. He talks about social constructs and
Speaker 6: actual you know, scientific constructs, right, I mean, and there's
Speaker 6: just nothing you can do about it, no matter how
Speaker 6: liberals bend and squeeze and flip and flop and get
Speaker 6: pissed off at God or everybody. There are two sections
Speaker 6: that are born. Now, once in a while, there are
Speaker 6: people that there are that are are kind of at birth,
Speaker 6: have some kind of a birth anomaly where they have
Speaker 6: parts of both. But I'm talking about for the main
Speaker 6: part in life. We have people born with genitalia, or
Speaker 6: we have people born well, we have people born with
Speaker 6: male and female genitalia, right, And if you want to
Speaker 6: be something else, that's where I don't care. I don't care.
Speaker 6: You can, and I don't care if you do. If
Speaker 6: you want to be a woman dressed, it's like a
Speaker 6: woman and be a woman. Honest to God, I don't care.
Speaker 6: It doesn't bother me one bit. I'll bet you I
Speaker 6: could have many friends who are transgender. I mean, I
Speaker 6: don't know if I do it. I don't think I do.
Speaker 6: But Dimitri, I no, no, you're not pretty enough. But
Speaker 6: in any case, I think that, Honest to God, I
Speaker 6: mean this, I don't care what they identify as. What
Speaker 6: I don't want them doing, though, is unfairly taking women's
Speaker 6: rights away. Like when my daughter worked her ass off
Speaker 6: to play volleyball and then this one dude decides he
Speaker 6: wants to play volleyball and then does it and wins everything.
Speaker 6: You know. They're at Boston College. There was a fencer.
Speaker 6: This is a true story because I know the team.
Speaker 6: He was the worst fencer, the worst fencer on the
Speaker 6: male team. The worst he was benched most of the time.
Speaker 6: They're a Division one fencing team. He went away, grewis hairlong,
Speaker 6: wore skirts back to school. He did nothing, He lopped
Speaker 6: off nothing, He did nothing except declared himself a female.
Speaker 6: That's all he did, and wore female clothes. And I
Speaker 6: think he reduced his testosterone. He may have done that
Speaker 6: because I think that was required. But he became a
Speaker 6: female fencer and kicked ass and became one of the
Speaker 6: best female fencers. Now, how could you look in the
Speaker 6: mirror and be proud of yourself? I mean true, is
Speaker 6: anyone truly you know? What I love is that these
Speaker 6: people will do these texts, but not one of you
Speaker 6: will call me and truly talk to me, because I
Speaker 6: would be respectful if you wanted to call and describe yourself.
Speaker 9: There.
Speaker 7: They're probably like that particular one. It's probably nonexistent. I mean,
Speaker 7: they're they're just bs. And I mean there's there's a phone,
Speaker 7: there's a phone number for them. What about this one?
Speaker 6: Hey, Tom, I'm so glad prices and groceries are coming
Speaker 6: down and uh not and uh look how much cheaper
Speaker 6: eggs are than when Biden w in office. Not ask
Speaker 6: Mark how that Trump economic plan is working out. I
Speaker 6: love what the market, and the market is now doing bad.
Speaker 6: So this guy is making the case that things aren't
Speaker 6: doing great under Trump. Wow, now it's kind of funny
Speaker 6: doing good. A man in a dress goes into a
Speaker 6: bathroom and your daughter is in it, do you care?
Speaker 6: Of course I do. I wasn't saying that. What I
Speaker 6: said was if someone wants to identify as a woman
Speaker 6: or a man, I don't care if they do. What
Speaker 6: I don't think they should do is trample on others' rights.
Speaker 6: That would be right of privacy. And no, I do
Speaker 6: not believe they should simply be able to use a
Speaker 6: woman's bathroom because they say they're a woman. Do you
Speaker 6: realize how many prisoners up till this time, up to
Speaker 6: this time, look at that that they would just when
Speaker 6: they're going into prison tell themselves, I mean, tell the
Speaker 6: warden that they identify or the judge as a woman.
Speaker 6: They have never once, never, once did anything. They never
Speaker 6: knitted a sweater, they never cooked a biscuit, they never baked,
Speaker 6: they never I'm just kidding by but no, they never
Speaker 6: did anything. They have a baby to affirm. Nope, they
Speaker 6: just said they were a woman. They get admitted to
Speaker 6: federal prison and rape women. Now, how can any Democrat,
Speaker 6: AOC or any of them, how can they ever, ever, ever,
Speaker 6: ever ever justify that? How can anyone justify that? And
Speaker 6: I just asked the fictitious manti who you believe doesn't exist?
Speaker 6: So you mean a guy can be born a woman,
Speaker 6: I mean, be born a man, decide he's a woman,
Speaker 6: and compete against your daughter who's worked their ass off
Speaker 6: their entire life. He says, absolutely not. I believe females
Speaker 6: at birth that has double X chromosome should compete only
Speaker 6: with double X chromosome females. I don't know what the
Speaker 6: hell that means. It's terrible that we have to take
Speaker 6: out a chemistry set when we're doing sports right now?
Speaker 6: Or how about this one, how about let's call it
Speaker 6: like it is. Let's have no genders or sex is
Speaker 6: in sports period. Everything is open to everybody. You know
Speaker 6: what that would happen? Snuff out female athletes all together?
Speaker 6: Because the worst what I was shocked about. And I
Speaker 6: don't know if this is true, but I was told
Speaker 6: one of the worst male on the tour, one of
Speaker 6: the worst male tennis players, can just beat the hell
Speaker 6: out of the Williams sisters. Is that true.
Speaker 7: It's actually a mediocre, mediocre, middle of the road college player.
Speaker 7: And it doesn't matter where from. And we're not talking one,
Speaker 7: we're talking the entire middle can beat either sister at
Speaker 7: any day, I mean any day, any game.
Speaker 18: Serena has stated the fact that she will never play
Speaker 18: a male because it is a completely different game.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they both acknowledge that it's a completely different game.
Speaker 7: Same with golf. Golf is like absolutely insane. And then
Speaker 7: if you want to talk, imagine women playing in the NBA.
Speaker 7: How tall shack like seven something. I mean, there's no
Speaker 7: one near a size. There's no women that are that big.
Speaker 19: Well, let me say in mixed tennis there are a
Speaker 19: man and a woman against a man and a woman.
Speaker 19: And Serena and Venus have played with women, and if
Speaker 19: you watch any of those matches even today without them,
Speaker 19: it is still the women have a very rough time
Speaker 19: returning male serfs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it is a completely different game. See, and
Speaker 6: that's where it starts getting weird. Where this is where
Speaker 6: the left collides with reality.
Speaker 8: I probably with reality. That's really the problem.
Speaker 6: With and and and it happened with ideology as well.
Speaker 6: For example, the left was all about the rights of
Speaker 6: these radical Muslims. Remember Obama would never even use, never
Speaker 6: even use the term radical Muslim. That's right, or even
Speaker 6: if it, I mean not that it matters, because I
Speaker 6: don't want everyone who's Muslim to be to be, you know,
Speaker 6: obviously ostracized. I really don't. They're wonderful people. But what
Speaker 6: I'm talking about is this that they love these countries
Speaker 6: on the left and talk about their rights and all that,
Speaker 6: and like the squad. And what they don't understand is
Speaker 6: in that country they'll beat homosexuals to death for being homosexual.
Speaker 6: And you would never have a transgender person that would
Speaker 6: be open in that society, they would hang them. And
Speaker 6: also when it comes to mutilation a female genitalia, so
Speaker 6: they don't get pleasure. Now, how do they justify that?
Speaker 6: Yet they want to be aligned with them on one end,
Speaker 6: but on the other end they get they collide with reality.

Speaker 6: Hi Tom Martino, you're troubleshooter three all three seven one
Speaker 6: three talks seven one three eight two five five. All right, man,
Speaker 6: I am so tired of these texts. I think Mark
Speaker 6: is doing them. Actually, I decided I think Mark is
Speaker 6: doing these ultraliberal texts to me just to have me
Speaker 6: read them and get pissed off. That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 6: I do have something about painting. I do have something
Speaker 6: about painting a house Andy. Somebody wants to know if
Speaker 6: you can't apply the paint except for ideal conditions, can
Speaker 6: you at least prep and will the house hold for
Speaker 6: a paint job after that? And I kind of know
Speaker 6: what they're thinking, But can you do the major prep
Speaker 6: like maybe on a on a slow time when you're
Speaker 6: not going to be applying paint, and then come back
Speaker 6: and do the application.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't see why not, you know, obviously in
Speaker 15: Colorado we have you know, dust with our wind and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 15: I guess the biggest thing would be if you're going
Speaker 15: to prep it and then come back and paint it
Speaker 15: a month two months from now, you'd want to probably
Speaker 15: repressure wash it.
Speaker 14: But you know, board replacement.
Speaker 15: Calking, joints, windows, that can all be done prior to.
Speaker 15: But yeah, you just want to make sure you're not
Speaker 15: putting a new coating on top.
Speaker 14: Of a layer of dirt or dust debris.
Speaker 6: Right right, So on that, On that note, let's just
Speaker 6: go over and by the way, we have open lines
Speaker 6: if you want to call three oh three seven to
Speaker 6: one three talk, which is seven one three eight two
Speaker 6: five five or three oh three Martino three oh three
Speaker 6: six two seven eight four six six. Now, what is
Speaker 6: prep Let's talk about from beginning to end. What's the
Speaker 6: very first thing you do when you arrive. Let's say
Speaker 6: it's an older house, older paint and you want to
Speaker 6: prep it and give it a new paint job. What
Speaker 6: do you do?
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, I think it would be identifying any
Speaker 15: areas that need to be addressed. You know, we'll see
Speaker 15: rotten board sometimes obviously if we're putting a new coating
Speaker 15: on that. It's only the coating is only as good
Speaker 15: as what it's going on, So that would want to
Speaker 15: be addressed first and foremost, and then beyond that, you know,
Speaker 15: if we have any loose, chipping, peeling paint, we'd like
Speaker 15: to address that, standing it, scraping it, and then spot
Speaker 15: priming those areas, and then from that point, you know,
Speaker 15: obviously pressure washing is vital to removing at an efficient
Speaker 15: rate any dirt, dust, debris that is on the house
Speaker 15: as well. And then yeah, moving on to the final product,
Speaker 15: which is the paint job.
Speaker 6: Now listen, when you do scrape, you literally hand scrape
Speaker 6: and make sure everything while that old crap is gone.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean when we when we talk scrape, we're
Speaker 15: not talking by hand a whole house.
Speaker 14: Powerwashing is going to do a majority of the work
Speaker 14: for you through.
Speaker 6: What about what about around windows and trim and all that.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't want just powerwashing and not hand scraping around those.
Speaker 15: Yes, yes, those areas are the common areas that are
Speaker 15: addressed with hand scraping. But generally speaking, paint doesn't just
Speaker 15: peel and chip on a large scale. There's always a
Speaker 15: reason for it, whether it's a window sill where there
Speaker 15: was rain sitting and it kind of got behind that coating.
Speaker 15: That's where we see it most common around windows.
Speaker 6: And speaking of coatings, I do have this text. Everywhere
Speaker 6: I turn, I hear about coatings. They don't call it paint,
Speaker 6: they call it coatings. What's the difference? And I know
Speaker 6: what they mean, Andy, I've heard it too. There's a
Speaker 6: true to talk about coatings and they say this is different.
Speaker 6: This is ceramic, or this is this and this is
Speaker 6: not paint and this is not the same as your
Speaker 6: mother's paint job. So tell me about it.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, I can't speak to why that's popular
Speaker 15: in the marketplace, but you know, I to me, painting
Speaker 15: and coatings are interchangeable. You're with paint, you're coating a surface, right,
Speaker 15: So I think in that regard, I look at it
Speaker 15: as interchangeable.
Speaker 6: So you're just covering something with a coating, whether it's
Speaker 6: paint or But I want to know is there a difference,
Speaker 6: Like there are people that are literally advertising better than
Speaker 6: paint and they're calling it a coating. Certainly you want
Speaker 6: to know about your competition, I mean, because people are
Speaker 6: going to ask about it.
Speaker 15: Right, So go ahead, Yeah, I mean, I've heard of
Speaker 15: companies that advertise a ceramic coding. Again, being in the
Speaker 15: industry for so long, I myself am not familiar with it. Okay,
Speaker 15: but you know, when we talk about coatings, there's powder
Speaker 15: coatings as well.
Speaker 14: You know, that's a totally different segment.
Speaker 6: You know, well, that's that's normally for metal stuff, right,
Speaker 6: But when we're talking about ceramic coatings, you know, like
Speaker 6: there's this one talking about it saying that it literally
Speaker 6: has beads of ceramics in it and it lays down
Speaker 6: a strong, strong finish that will last ten to twenty years.
Speaker 6: I mean, come on, what is the best coating that
Speaker 6: you know of or paint in Colorado and the longest
Speaker 6: it will last if you did the absolute best, even
Speaker 6: if it was on raw wood, whatever. What's the absolute
Speaker 6: best result you can you can get in Colorado for
Speaker 6: never doing it again or almost never doing it again.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, there's certainly a lot of variables that
Speaker 15: go into what makes it coating last.
Speaker 14: You know, if we're.
Speaker 6: Talking well, let's just say, if you had to do
Speaker 6: it from the ground up, what's the best result you
Speaker 6: can get for longevity?
Speaker 15: Do you think you know twelve ten to twelve years
Speaker 15: would be really good.
Speaker 14: Darker colors are going to.
Speaker 15: Fade, and no paint company warranties against fading. It's just
Speaker 15: something that it's there's no silver bullet per se on that.
Speaker 15: So in regards to fading, nothing is warranting. But peeling, chipping.
Speaker 15: It's paint isn't smart. So it's going to last forever
Speaker 15: or as long as the surface is prepped and we're
Speaker 15: putting it on a sound side.
Speaker 6: I see what you're saying, right right right. It doesn't
Speaker 6: say time to fail now, it's just if it adheres,
Speaker 6: it adheres correct.
Speaker 15: And really what we talked about earlier is that that
Speaker 15: prep is the biggest thing. So if we've got a
Speaker 15: you know, surface that hasn't been cleaned of debris, that
Speaker 15: paint is going on a dusty surface, you know in
Speaker 15: a year it's going to come off. So you know,
Speaker 15: ten to twelve years is really when you start to
Speaker 15: notice fade. And that's when we really look at repainting
Speaker 15: a house.
Speaker 6: Okay, three all three seven, one three eight, two five five,
Speaker 6: we have canation in the house. Compass Insurance Group will
Speaker 6: do you an insurance quote if you want one. But

Speaker 6: shooter three h three seven one three talk seven one
Speaker 6: three eight two five five. We have one other question
Speaker 6: here a couple others, and it is having to do
Speaker 6: with changing color on stucco. One of the benefits of
Speaker 6: stucco is that colors through and through. And I would
Speaker 6: hate to have to change the color on stucco because
Speaker 6: you're you're just basically putting paint over. Now you could
Speaker 6: restucco the thing with a new color. That would be
Speaker 6: one way to do it. But what about painting over
Speaker 6: a pre existing color for stucco?
Speaker 15: Have you done that, Andy, Yeah, absolutely, that's very possible.
Speaker 15: We see it a lot in this market. We do have,
Speaker 15: you know, a quite a few stucco homes. The biggest
Speaker 15: thing there is, you know, what is the stucco's condition.
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 14: If we've got cracks.
Speaker 15: That are you know, too big, A paint isn't going
Speaker 15: to bridge those gaps, So we're gonna want to use
Speaker 15: an elast America. You know, Sherwin Williams has a couple
Speaker 15: of great products locks on XP for one, they're meant
Speaker 15: to expand and contract and bridge those gaps, whereas a
Speaker 15: standard exterior acrylic paint only has so much give and
Speaker 15: take with expansion. So the biggest key is using the
Speaker 15: appropriate product on a stucco surface.
Speaker 14: But very very possible. But you have done it.
Speaker 6: You have actually changed the color of stucco and it
Speaker 6: doesn't look like all patched up and it doesn't start
Speaker 6: shipping and.
Speaker 15: Peeling all the time, and we stucco's painted all the
Speaker 15: time here and again, prep is the biggest you prep stucco,
Speaker 15: pressure washing prep stucco. Yeah, pressure washing is is the
Speaker 15: key there. Obviously with stucco, you've got a lot of
Speaker 15: areas for dust and dirt to kind of hang out in,
Speaker 15: So making sure that those areas are clean before applying
Speaker 15: a product or a top code is the most important thing.
Speaker 15: And then patching any areas that you have issues with
Speaker 15: that are cracked or starting to kind of fall out.
Speaker 15: Because again, even using the best product, if you're putting
Speaker 15: it on something that's already failing, that is going to
Speaker 15: fail in time as well.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 6: Speaking of that, what are the best surfaces that hold paint? Seriously?
Speaker 6: I mean not that we have a choice, but if
Speaker 6: we're looking at a home, it would be good to know, hey,
Speaker 6: this can hold paint, just won't Like if you have
Speaker 6: old siding that's chalking, whether it be vinyl or aluminum,
Speaker 6: can you paint over that?
Speaker 7: Or how about brick because occasionally I'll see like white
Speaker 7: painted brick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 15: To me, it's all about what it's going on top
Speaker 15: of I'm a believer that anything can be painted.
Speaker 14: It's just about what you're putting in on.
Speaker 15: If you're putting a new coating on you know, aluminum
Speaker 15: siding that's chipping off and you're not taking off that cheap.
Speaker 6: It's cheaper to do new siding, right.
Speaker 15: I wouldn't necessarily say that, but it's just we need
Speaker 15: to be putting the new coding on a sound surface.
Speaker 15: So if it's chipping currently, we need to remove as
Speaker 15: much as we can that's chipping before we put a
Speaker 15: new product on top.
Speaker 14: And at that point, so it would be very confident.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, so Steve, I mean you might go to
Speaker 6: houses though where they want to paint and it's cheaper
Speaker 6: for them, truly to do siding. You must find that.
Speaker 12: Right, I would say in general, like painting is cheaper,
Speaker 12: but you have to do it more off. Okay, you
Speaker 12: know so, I mean this is why we kind of
Speaker 12: started this division, because there's two options. If you have
Speaker 12: really old siding, it's forty years old and you're painting
Speaker 12: in every two three years wood siding, you know, it's
Speaker 12: probably a better investment to get it replaced. But if
Speaker 12: you don't have that, you know, twenty thirty forty grand,
Speaker 12: sometimes the do all new siding on your house the
Speaker 12: right way. You know, painting is a viable option.
Speaker 6: Sure, sure, I can see that it's all on the math.
Speaker 6: It really is. By the way. KH Home Solutions one

Speaker 6: haven't had to, and I answer texts quite regularly. So
Speaker 6: that is seven four, seven nine eighty, So welcome to
Speaker 6: the show. We have K and H Home Solutions with
Speaker 6: us today and we're talking specifically about painting. We're also
Speaker 6: talking about the exterior of your house in any way
Speaker 6: you want to talk about it. We've also had some
Speaker 6: interesting calls today. We're looking for a handicap van. I
Speaker 6: don't know what the term is, but it's handicapped accessible.
Speaker 6: It's a van that can take a wheelchair, maybe a
Speaker 6: little hand lift or of hoist. This guy's not looking
Speaker 6: for anything famous right now. He has a car and
Speaker 6: he throws his wheelchair in the back of the car
Speaker 6: and uses plywood to slide down. He's paraplegic, he's paralyzed
Speaker 6: the from the waist down and he uses this car
Speaker 6: and it's breaking down. And this one community activist from
Speaker 6: Commerce City called and said, we want to help this guy.
Speaker 6: So she's trying to find him a van to help
Speaker 6: him out. If you can find one for low cost
Speaker 6: or no cost or whatever. Hey, Tom, I do have
Speaker 6: I do have an update on that. We did have
Speaker 6: a call. Okay, what do you have who called.
Speaker 19: In and is sending us his information. Unfortunately, his grandfather
Speaker 19: passed away and his grandmother wants to sell an accessible
Speaker 19: you know, a handicapped accessible van, and so I've put
Speaker 19: them in contact with each other.
Speaker 6: Wow, I wonder it was. Did it sound like new
Speaker 6: and expensive or what? How did it sound it's five
Speaker 6: years old? What's that? It's five years old? Oh? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 6: that's pretty new. So we'll see that. And those are
Speaker 6: pretty expensive, you know, but maybe who knows, maybe somebody
Speaker 6: will do a kindness and try to get this guy
Speaker 6: helped out. So we also had a call about a
Speaker 6: painting contractor, and again K and H Home Solutions with us.
Speaker 6: We have our K and H painting pros with us,
Speaker 6: and this guy was upset with Byron, this painter who
Speaker 6: gave him a verbal quote for some painting and it
Speaker 6: included replacing a few boards of siding. And then Joel
Speaker 6: the consumer said, I was concerned after a while he
Speaker 6: was doing a bad job and he was putting it
Speaker 6: on in bad weather, and I just think that I
Speaker 6: just stopped him because I didn't believe in it. So
Speaker 6: when he stopped him, he said, the guy wants two
Speaker 6: grand to walk away. He said, look, I worked and
Speaker 6: I'm willing to finish. But if you want me to walk,
Speaker 6: I should at least get paid for what I did.
Speaker 6: And Joel said, why should you get paid for what
Speaker 6: you did? Because I'm going to have to correct it
Speaker 6: and it's going to cost me more than originally because
Speaker 6: of your mistakes. So to put an end to this,
Speaker 6: we asked Andy over at K and H Painting Pros
Speaker 6: to go look at it tomorrow, right, Is that when
Speaker 6: you're going to look at it? Andy?
Speaker 14: Yes, sure, yep, yeah.
Speaker 6: You know what is the most what is the I
Speaker 6: want you to predict something. What's the number one problem
Speaker 6: you find when you go check out jobs that people
Speaker 6: are unhappy with? What's the number one thing you find?
Speaker 15: Uh, generally it would be a lack of prep. Another
Speaker 15: portion of the time we'll see application, whether it was
Speaker 15: sprayed or if we've got a uniform finished with the spray.
Speaker 15: Those are the two main ones. Prep and then spray application.
Speaker 7: How about quality. I'm sure you guys use good quality pay,
Speaker 7: but I'm curious. You can go to like Sherwin Williams
Speaker 7: and they might have three different kinds of pain. You know,
Speaker 7: one is ten, one's twenty one's thirty. Then, like I
Speaker 7: think Tom mentioned last Hour, a different hour, You've got
Speaker 7: these things like Rhino, which could be fifty dollars a gallon.
Speaker 6: I mean, is the quality that big of a deal?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 15: I think, like anything, there's levels to it, right. But
Speaker 15: Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, they don't make bad products. So
Speaker 15: even if budget is a concern and we're getting a
Speaker 15: cheaper gallon of paint, it's not going to fall off
Speaker 15: in sheets, right. But again we go back to that
Speaker 15: prep being the most important part. If you are getting
Speaker 15: a cheaper gallon of paint, we need to have proper
Speaker 15: prep for it to even last. But with a more
Speaker 15: expensive product, you're getting better color and gloss retention long term,
Speaker 15: which those are the important things of what you're looking for.
Speaker 6: And what's your favorite if you could, like, what would
Speaker 6: you paint your house with? Yeah?
Speaker 15: Yeah, so I like Emerald and Duration with Sherwin Williams.
Speaker 15: Those are their two top of the line products. I think,
Speaker 15: you know, they give the best color retention here in
Speaker 15: the Rocky Mountains sun. I just think their coverage is
Speaker 15: really good too. They're easy to apply in terms of spraying.
Speaker 7: Is there any paint that claims like, you don't need
Speaker 7: any kind of undercoat any on a primer? Is that
Speaker 7: all bs?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 15: I mean I always recommend two codes, regardless of what
Speaker 15: a can says.
Speaker 14: Some can say, so is it.
Speaker 6: Called a primer? Is it called a primer? When you
Speaker 6: do two coats, do you literally put a primer or
Speaker 6: just two coats of the same paint?
Speaker 14: Yeah, so primer and paint.
Speaker 15: You know, some cans will say paint and primer, and
Speaker 15: one primer.
Speaker 14: Is used on a as needs basis.
Speaker 15: So if we're down to bear wood, for instance, or
Speaker 15: in a house that was smoked in where we've got
Speaker 15: some nicotine staining, those are scenarios where you'd actually want
Speaker 15: to use it a primer to block out either odors
Speaker 15: or discoloration from coming through, because paint isn't going to
Speaker 15: do that. And then once that primer is on there,
Speaker 15: you can top coate it with whatever whatever product.
Speaker 14: You want to go with, So that would be the
Speaker 14: need there. On top of that.
Speaker 15: In this market, a lot of paint companies will do
Speaker 15: a prime coat in their first coat with just the
Speaker 15: top coat and then a second top coat for their
Speaker 15: durability's sake and covered sake.
Speaker 6: Do you guys do interior as well.
Speaker 14: Correct, yep, interior exterior repaints.
Speaker 7: Yes, so we've had, of course our house touched up
Speaker 7: in some rooms painted. I was told by another painter
Speaker 7: the hardest thing, not that it was hard, but it's
Speaker 7: the biggest pain in the butts is ceiling?
Speaker 6: Is that true?
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's the fifth wall. It's the one that we
Speaker 14: all forget about.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I would say generally it's it's not as important as
Speaker 15: a wall because you know, you're not touching it, you're
Speaker 15: not washing.
Speaker 6: It, spilling stuff on it exactly.
Speaker 14: So that's generally where we can.
Speaker 15: You know, if budget is a concern, it doesn't need
Speaker 15: to be repainted. But there are cheap alternatives to painting
Speaker 15: a ceiling that don't need to be as durable as
Speaker 15: say your walls, hard trim.
Speaker 6: That's K and H Home Solutions with K and H
Speaker 6: Painter Pros. And listen, Mark, the sex are blown up
Speaker 6: about you. I don't know why they love pissing you off.
Speaker 6: And I swear to God these are real. Do you
Speaker 6: think Mark, it's weird that Trump pandered to the cancer kid?
Speaker 6: Now what are they talking about? Pander to the cancer kid?
Speaker 6: There's the one he made an honorary seat.
Speaker 7: There's this kid that's had thirteen if I recall, it's
Speaker 7: thirteen or fifteen different brain surgeries. I mean that's brain cancer,
Speaker 7: and that creates all kinds of problems. In fact, interestingly enough,
Speaker 7: I watch an interview on him or with him this morning,
Speaker 7: some of these because they're dealing with the human brain.
Speaker 7: When you have some of these done and they're done
Speaker 7: with that particular operation, your entire life can be different.
Speaker 7: When you wake up, like he's in a different mood,
Speaker 7: he feels a different way. It's really crazy listening to it.
Speaker 7: But I guess when you're messing with the human brain
Speaker 7: and say you cut a tumor out or something, you
Speaker 7: could literally wake up and feel different about what kind
Speaker 7: of food you like. I mean, it's really nuh but
Speaker 7: he's gone through thirteen.
Speaker 6: Now I want to tell you, yeah, okay, so keep going.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, and I'll tell you this. No, it's all right.
Speaker 7: So but what's nuts about it is, as we know,
Speaker 7: none of the Democrats would stand In fact, Trump actually
Speaker 7: said he could cure some huge disease and these guys
Speaker 7: wouldn't even stand up. If it's saving an entire continent
Speaker 7: and I agree with that. I don't think he was
Speaker 7: pandering at all. This kid what he likes doing. I
Speaker 7: think he's fifteen now. He has been all over the
Speaker 7: country local police stations like anywhere. I'm using Castle Rock
Speaker 7: as an example. But he has gotten badges or honorary
Speaker 7: jobs with these police stations all across the country. And
Speaker 7: Trump had him in because his dad kind of pushed
Speaker 7: for it and had him in to become an honorary
Speaker 7: I think it was CIA.
Speaker 6: Was it CIA?
Speaker 5: I think?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 6: No, secret service, secret service.
Speaker 7: And then the guy that just got confirmed came down
Speaker 7: and gave him a badge and the kid was happy.
Speaker 7: And my god, this kid has nothing. This is going
Speaker 7: to be the biggest thing in this kid's life. So
Speaker 7: anybody out there that wants to make fun of them
Speaker 7: or anything else, you're just a moron.
Speaker 6: I mean, what else can I tell you? Now here's
Speaker 6: what I know.
Speaker 2: I didn't read.
Speaker 6: I didn't read the rest of the text, though, Mark,
Speaker 6: do you think it's where that Trump pandered to the
Speaker 6: cancer kid? But they cut one billion dollars from cancer research? Now,
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, one billion from cancer research where
Speaker 7: on the moon.
Speaker 6: I mean, some of the things they had in money
Speaker 6: could be anything.
Speaker 7: It was probably, like knowing the Dems and the Lefties,
Speaker 7: it was probably cancer research on lab rats in Afghanistan
Speaker 7: that are between the ages of three weeks and four weeks.
Speaker 6: Good, good point. Hey, Tom, I once played on a
Speaker 6: softball co ed team. Was pretty fun. Why don't people
Speaker 6: just do co ed sports then have other sports? In
Speaker 6: other words, why don't we just have a co ed
Speaker 6: a competition along with regular male and female sports YEFL, NFL.
Speaker 6: Come on, that's dumb.
Speaker 8: Well no, what I mean is basketball?
Speaker 6: Have co ed co ed basketball?
Speaker 9: Wow?
Speaker 6: Wouldn't you just passed to the tallest person the man?
Speaker 6: What can we have? How about just transports? Would that work?
Speaker 6: I think they tried that, But there's only four of them. Well,
Speaker 6: there's so many, Dragon, what's the percentage? Dragon? Actually? Research?
Speaker 5: I love?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Dragon? How many of you are there? No? No, Dragon,
Speaker 6: you did some research?
Speaker 18: Go ahead, I'm sorry, I say, trying to figure out
Speaker 18: where this one billion from a cancer research was coming from.
Speaker 18: For it just looks like the NIH Trump is cutting
Speaker 18: across the board NIH funding, which just so happens to
Speaker 18: coincide with one billion in cancer research funding.
Speaker 14: So that's what that came. I'm sorry, what was the
Speaker 14: other question?
Speaker 6: You're gonna lost the percentage of.
Speaker 14: Transit people? I think it's like zero point one percent.
Speaker 6: Point zero one point one, like.
Speaker 18: One ten zero point one or a point zero one.
Speaker 18: Excuse me, it's one of those two I cannot recall
Speaker 18: off the top of my head right now. But it's
Speaker 18: it's it's under a full percent.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I know it's under full percent. Okay, what
Speaker 6: if I ask my boyfriend, do you think AI will
Speaker 6: be accurate in this or will they.
Speaker 8: Do it with the first of all, let's define it.
Speaker 8: What does that mean?
Speaker 6: So if someone.
Speaker 18: Could have done the transition already or these are the
Speaker 18: people that are just saying, yes, I'm a woman when
Speaker 18: they are by a log.
Speaker 7: But I'm going I don't know, does that mean they
Speaker 7: lopped it off? I mean, what are we talking here?
Speaker 7: Is it gone or is it still?
Speaker 6: How about this, I'm going to ask, what is the
Speaker 6: percentage of population that identifies as a transgender?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 7: Geez, one identifies people can identify as a goat today.
Speaker 6: In a horse. I'm just asking my boyfriend. Okay, here's
Speaker 6: what they tell me people of fifteen fifteen percent. I'm
Speaker 6: just kidding, by the way, honest to god, I'm just kidding,
Speaker 6: just though. No, Actually, here's what it says. The percentage
Speaker 6: of the population that identifies as transgender by country and
Speaker 6: study methodology. In the United States, estimates suggest around point
Speaker 6: five percent identify as transgender, according to the data from
Speaker 6: the Institute at UCLA and the CDC. Globally, estimates range
Speaker 6: from point one to under one point one depending on
Speaker 6: the region. Yeah, well, in some areas, if you identify
Speaker 6: as a transgender you're gonna be hung by your toes
Speaker 6: and whipped and killed. So there's no way.
Speaker 7: Well, and plus we I don't know, how is that
Speaker 7: full reassignment surgery or what are we talking about?
Speaker 6: No, I just asked about I just asked about identifies.
Speaker 6: I mean, actually, that's all. I don't really know, see
Speaker 6: the whole argument, Mark, And this is what I think
Speaker 6: that we miss. The thing that really bothers me is
Speaker 6: that in America you don't have to do any any
Speaker 6: kind of medical procedure if you simply identify as a
Speaker 6: female and you're in school, they have to show they
Speaker 6: well I don't know now what happens, but they had
Speaker 6: to recognize you as a female. Period. That's what they
Speaker 6: You know, I filled out a mortgage application just the
Speaker 6: other day. It's long story. It's for vesteria. It's not
Speaker 6: for me. But I'm doing those FISA things, right, yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 6: And do you know that they asked they asked on
Speaker 6: that mortgage application your gender, and they asked, yeah, but
Speaker 6: that's all they had about They had about.
Speaker 20: Fourteen or rather not say, rather not say that's unbelievable,
Speaker 20: fourteen this is crazy, it's or rather not say.
Speaker 6: You know, it's first of all, here's something I do
Speaker 6: want to know.
Speaker 7: And I mean, don't you see though, that there's so
Speaker 7: few people like that that think that way. I think
Speaker 7: we get caught up in the that real lefty libtard
Speaker 7: news and we think, like all these people think that way,
Speaker 7: and they don't. I mean we're talking so few people
Speaker 7: really believe that women should or men should be playing
Speaker 7: in women's sports. I think the last real poll I
Speaker 7: would believe was like over eighty percent of the country
Speaker 7: and that includes not just Republicans but Democrats and in
Speaker 7: the middle and everybody eighty percent thinks it's bs.
Speaker 6: Mark. Here's what I want to know really and truly
Speaker 6: when they talk about this, who enforces it enforces? What
Speaker 6: part like like if you're telling the truth? And what
Speaker 6: does it matter? Why do we even have And I'm
Speaker 6: going to ask you this and I mean this, and
Speaker 6: I don't mean to be like what we live or
Speaker 6: or progressive. Why do we even care? Why does there
Speaker 6: even have to be a gender or sex question on
Speaker 6: any application?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 6: Why? I don't see.
Speaker 7: Well, the first the first person I would ask that
Speaker 7: would be the federal government. And that's the only person
Speaker 7: that I know that it would.
Speaker 6: Make There's no reason.
Speaker 2: Why do we care who's.
Speaker 6: Applying for a loan, whether it's a male or female.
Speaker 6: I don't even get it. It has nothing to do
Speaker 6: with the loan, probably just idasification.
Speaker 7: Come how come our license has that? How come our
Speaker 7: passports have that?
Speaker 6: Okay, maybe for the passports it's for identification and for
Speaker 6: a license, I don't know. But what do we care
Speaker 6: for a loan? What do we care for anything? Why?
Speaker 6: You know, from medical stuff? I would see that. You know,
Speaker 6: they want to know what you are, so they know
Speaker 6: you know, I mean they Anyway, we got to take

Speaker 5: into the kind of fell into, didn't really seek out
Speaker 5: becoming a landlord.
Speaker 6: Well, how did that happen? Real quick? Did you inherit
Speaker 6: a house or what happened?
Speaker 5: So my husband passed away. We owned two properties in Brekenridge, Colorado, Okay,
Speaker 5: and he passed away.
Speaker 8: We did like, how long ago?
Speaker 5: Sis we have ago?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 5: So I moved out of my home. Just couldn't go back,
Speaker 5: you know, So decided to long term my home and
Speaker 5: I moved to Evergreen, and uh, just to kind of
Speaker 5: get away and be closer to family for support and everything.
Speaker 5: And so I rented my home and got a couple
Speaker 5: of bad eggs in there. In September.
Speaker 8: You said you had a couple properties.
Speaker 6: What was the other property we owned?
Speaker 5: So we owned a town home that my husband and
Speaker 5: I just kind of rented to a local that needed
Speaker 5: you know, he was in there for four years.
Speaker 6: And what was the other one?
Speaker 5: That was it.
Speaker 9: That's it.
Speaker 7: Oh, I thought you said you had two properties, So
Speaker 7: that's not correct.
Speaker 5: Right right now, I have to properties.
Speaker 7: Okay, So you were running that town home out in
Speaker 7: Breckenridge to a couple bad tenants.
Speaker 5: No, sorry, So I had good tenants in there. Why
Speaker 5: my husband was alive? I when he passed away, I
Speaker 5: moved out of my home. Yeah, and decided to long
Speaker 5: term my home. And so my home, not the town home.
Speaker 5: I had a couple of bat ages move in and
Speaker 5: they have just taken me you know, well.
Speaker 6: Give me an idea.
Speaker 7: What's going Let's not go down that road right now.
Speaker 7: What's going on right now? Like are they still in
Speaker 7: the house?
Speaker 5: Yes, they well they are not. So I was notified
Speaker 5: on December twenty seventh. They kind of just had texted
Speaker 5: me a bunch of photos of my home and you know,
Speaker 5: seeing that they that they had found black mold in
Speaker 5: my home, and okay, I was concerned because it is
Speaker 5: my home.
Speaker 7: So hold on, Tiffany, I once again, I want you
Speaker 7: to go here. Then I'm going to ask questions. On
Speaker 7: November twenty seventh, they called you up, they texted you
Speaker 7: picture black mold. But let's fast forward to March fifth today,
Speaker 7: So what's happening right now? Are they still in the house.
Speaker 5: They're out of the house.
Speaker 7: Okay, when did you get them out and how did
Speaker 7: you get them out? Did you go through an eviction
Speaker 7: or they just left?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yes, I went through an eviction.
Speaker 6: Did the sheriff come or what happened?
Speaker 5: I hired a like an attorney that handled that kind
Speaker 5: of stuff.
Speaker 8: Okay, so they're they're out. How bad is the house?
Speaker 19: Like?
Speaker 8: How much damage? Because I assume that's where this is going.
Speaker 5: Kind of about twelve thousand dollars worth is what my
Speaker 5: contractor estimated?
Speaker 7: And then what is the damage? Does that have anything
Speaker 7: to do with mold or what is it?
Speaker 5: No, it's just mostly well they you know, just things
Speaker 5: that they had broken in the house, like a window.
Speaker 5: They were having an open fire. Okay, the glass broke
Speaker 5: on the fireplace. They just you know, there was open fire.
Speaker 5: They destroyed the carpet with.
Speaker 6: The Yeah, I get you.
Speaker 7: They were just they were Yeah, they were horrible people.
Speaker 7: So so where does it stand right now? They owe
Speaker 7: you twelve.
Speaker 5: K No, so that's not the issue.
Speaker 6: That's fine.
Speaker 5: What is it they uh decide? I think they were
Speaker 5: scared because they wanted to get out of the lease.
Speaker 5: They were breaking the lease, and they had they had
Speaker 5: added into my lease that they would pay me three
Speaker 5: months worth of rent if they broke the lease. So
Speaker 5: I think they were trying to find something to get out,
Speaker 5: which was the black mold, which was not which you know.
Speaker 5: So they basically had an environmentalists coming on the twentieth
Speaker 5: to test it, a legit company out of Silvers on Colorado.
Speaker 6: And what did they find out.
Speaker 5: They didn't find that it was black mold. They thought
Speaker 5: it was, you know, non concerning to their health.
Speaker 7: But they Hey, Tiffany, I really what I really want
Speaker 7: you to do, though, is just focus on this question
Speaker 7: real quick, like what are you trying to do right now?
Speaker 7: You're not trying to get twelve thousand, What are you
Speaker 7: trying to get one hundred thousand? What are you trying
Speaker 7: to do?
Speaker 5: They're taking they're taking me to court, okay.
Speaker 6: And why are they taking you to court?
Speaker 5: Because they are saying my home was inhibitable because of
Speaker 5: the mold that was found. Okay, it was affecting their health.
Speaker 5: And so now they are trying to sue me up
Speaker 5: to fifty thousand maybe more for.
Speaker 7: What do you say they're taking you to court? So
Speaker 7: did they hire an attorney? And what are they asking
Speaker 7: for this very second? Are they saying, hey, we want
Speaker 7: fifty thousand to make this go away?
Speaker 6: Or what are they saying.
Speaker 5: About a month ago they wanted their attorney came and
Speaker 5: wanted twenty five thousand.
Speaker 6: So it's a shake. What you're assuming is it's a shakedown?
Speaker 8: I mean, yes, okay, well hold on, hold.
Speaker 7: On, Tiffany, this part's really important. And I'm sorry, dragon,
Speaker 7: did I take the thirty breaker?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 7: Listen, I got to take a break, but I want
Speaker 7: you to focus on this question. I'm also going to
Speaker 7: get an attorney on. In fact, let's get a personal
Speaker 7: injury attorney, either John Fuller or Marco Bendinelli. But Tiffany,
Speaker 7: is there actually a court date or are you just
Speaker 7: basically negotiating with an attorney right now?
Speaker 6: Do you know the answer to that question?
Speaker 9: Sort of?
Speaker 5: If we can get to that, we need to come back.
Speaker 7: All right, hold on, hold on, You got me intrigued
Speaker 7: on this, but let's get John Fuller. To me, this
Speaker 7: sounds like a total shakedown. I mean, if they're only
Speaker 7: asking for twenty five grand, I'll be honest with you. You
Speaker 7: can't get through discovery in a case like this for
Speaker 7: less than one hundred thousand bucks. So I mean, in fact,
Speaker 7: I don't even think you'd get through discovery for one
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty thousand both sides seventy five to one
Speaker 7: hundred each all in So when they're asking for twenty
Speaker 7: five grand, I think it's a pure shakedown.

Speaker 7: All right, three oh three seven one three A two
Speaker 7: five five You've been ripped off? Have any questions we
Speaker 7: want to hear from you? Hey, this one's really curious.
Speaker 7: We're talking to Tiffany, and I'm just trying to catch
Speaker 7: John Fuller up. He's listening real quick, and I'm gonna
Speaker 7: I'm gonna bring them both up with John. Basically, what's
Speaker 7: going on here is Tiffany had some tenants living in
Speaker 7: her house in Breckenridge, and these tenants started in November,
Speaker 7: around November twenty seventh. And by the way, Tiffany, when
Speaker 7: it came to November twenty seventh, and they actually sent
Speaker 7: you the pictures of mold, how long were they there
Speaker 7: December or December?
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, it's okay.
Speaker 5: They moved in in September and then sent me pictures
Speaker 5: December twenty seventh, so.
Speaker 7: They were there a couple months. John and basically sent
Speaker 7: her pictures saying there's mold. She actually had a company
Speaker 7: out or they hired a company to come out check
Speaker 7: the mold, and basically it wasn't toxic. Did they find
Speaker 7: mold at all, Tiffany, They did.
Speaker 5: It was in the laundry room from a previous got was.
Speaker 7: Sick and they were testing to see if it was airborne,
Speaker 7: if there were spores. What were they testing for And
Speaker 7: they came back and said negative.
Speaker 5: Yes, they were testing for black mold and to see
Speaker 5: if it was hazardous to help and it tested negative
Speaker 5: on all.
Speaker 7: Okay, So then John, here's where we're here's where we're
Speaker 7: going with this. You fast forward to when did they
Speaker 7: actually leave the premise?
Speaker 5: January seventeen, So they.
Speaker 7: Moved out on the seventeenth. Did they pay rent up
Speaker 7: until then?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: So I mean, did they pay rent at all?
Speaker 5: They didn't pay rent for January.
Speaker 7: First, okay, but they paid rent up till there they
Speaker 7: paid three months.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 7: So they hired an attorney, John, and she's basically getting
Speaker 7: what I think are just demand letters from this attorney saying, hey,
Speaker 7: you had an unsafe condition in the house, and how
Speaker 7: much are they asking for?
Speaker 5: Tiffany, They wanted to settle about a month ago for
Speaker 5: twenty five dollars.
Speaker 7: So they wanted They basically said, I think it's a
Speaker 7: shakedown letter. But I wanted your opinion on this. I mean,
Speaker 7: but they haven't you have no court date, right, they.
Speaker 5: Did file, and I haven't been They have a process
Speaker 5: over oute, you know, trying to find me or whatever.
Speaker 5: But I'm in the process of hiring a real estate
Speaker 5: litigator because it's already been like they've already filed against me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, go ahead, John, please jump in the.
Speaker 16: Contacted your insurance company. Yes, what are they telling you?
Speaker 6: Oh, don't tell me you had the wrong policy?
Speaker 5: I mean possibly, I have travelers and they, you know, said,
Speaker 5: because they're going out on Friday, you file the clan,
Speaker 5: I file the queen.
Speaker 16: You about this?
Speaker 4: Sorry?
Speaker 7: Now what I John? Here's what hold on both of
Speaker 7: you real quick, Here's what I'm afraid of. Did you
Speaker 7: ever get Do they know you had renders in there?
Speaker 7: Did they know you were renting it out? Was it
Speaker 7: a renter's policy or a primary owner's policy?
Speaker 14: The policy?
Speaker 8: Okay, keep going now, John, go ahead.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Have you turned the claim over to them? Have you
Speaker 16: opened a claim and said these people are saying that
Speaker 16: they were you know they they were, you know, subjected
Speaker 16: to this toxic mold. Do they know anything about this lawsuit?
Speaker 5: The adjuster is going out or sorry, the Queen's person
Speaker 5: to go check check everything out on Friday. But when
Speaker 5: I had brought that up, they said that they don't
Speaker 5: really deal with things like that as far as like
Speaker 5: and having an attorney on their side represent me.
Speaker 16: I think we're speaking different.
Speaker 13: Langue is here.
Speaker 6: I do too.
Speaker 16: You are being sued by these people, and that means
Speaker 16: you have a claim against your insurance company and they
Speaker 16: should defend you in the lawsuit. They should, They should
Speaker 16: provide you an attorney, They should defend the lawsuit. They
Speaker 16: should follow an answer, They should do everything. Okay, I'm
Speaker 16: complaining that you may have opened a claim saying I
Speaker 16: think I have mold and I need to have you
Speaker 16: guys come out and look. But they don't understand that
Speaker 16: there's been a suit floud against you for a dangerous
Speaker 16: condition in your home.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Tiffany answer that directly to actually defend you. Tiffany
Speaker 7: answer that. I mean, what have you shared? That's a
Speaker 7: great point.
Speaker 5: John, Yeah, I don't. I you know, just with the
Speaker 5: claims adjuster, I did share that. But you know there
Speaker 5: was an environmentalist company that went out and tested the mold.
Speaker 5: It's not black mold, it's not hazard.
Speaker 8: Hold on, hold on, John, John, I know you're busy.
Speaker 6: John.
Speaker 7: I'm hoping you can stay. I can have Kelly callback,
Speaker 7: but hell, you fill in for me. You see what
Speaker 7: time it is. This is important though. Hopefully you can

Speaker 7: All right, I want to go back to John Fuller
Speaker 7: real quick. Hey, John, listen, I'm gonna bring Tiffany up. Tiffany,
Speaker 7: you keep you keep holding though for a second, John,
Speaker 7: I think what you're saying is she only It sounds
Speaker 7: like she only turned the claim in for the actual
Speaker 7: more damage or whatever they had to do to take
Speaker 7: care of that problem, not the fact that she's getting sued.
Speaker 6: That's where you were going, right, Yeah.
Speaker 16: That's what it sounds like to me, Mark. And the
Speaker 16: more critical issue is that this insurance company has a
Speaker 16: right to defend that lawsuit, and in fact, if you
Speaker 16: don't turn it over to them, you can risk not
Speaker 16: having any coverage for that, And so it's imperative that
Speaker 16: she call and open a claim and say, I am
Speaker 16: being sued about this property, and you guys are my
Speaker 16: insurance company, and you'll turn it over to them. They'll
Speaker 16: provide an attorney for her. She doesn't need to go
Speaker 16: out and hire a real estate litigator or anything like that.
Speaker 16: She just needs to get her insurance company on board.
Speaker 16: And I'm aware the claim sudjuster that's dealing with presence
Speaker 16: or lack of mold really doesn't get involved at all
Speaker 16: with a with an adverse you know. Yeah, of course
Speaker 16: lawsuit type environment. So I think she just needs to
Speaker 16: call the insurance company and literally open a claim and
Speaker 16: based upon their claim. Now on the marriage, I think
Speaker 16: she's gonna be fine. These people have the duty of
Speaker 16: proving that they've suffered damages. Yeah, that's a very difficult
Speaker 16: claim to make, and they're going to have to have
Speaker 16: doctors and talks results for themselves.
Speaker 6: John, real quick, how about that?
Speaker 7: I agree on the merit of it, But how real
Speaker 7: quick do you think she actually has coverage if she
Speaker 7: just had it as uh, you know, her home and
Speaker 7: not a rental property.
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's not the best thing in the world to
Speaker 16: have a circumstance. It wasn't disclosed to your insurance company.
Speaker 16: These things inherently come down to a hard analysis of
Speaker 16: the policy.
Speaker 7: I got you, John, I'm sorry, we're at a hard break.
Speaker 7: I thank you.

Speaker 7: We're gonna go back to Tiffany in a second. I'm
Speaker 7: gonna recap that I've got so many questions for our
Speaker 7: insurance expert, Suzanne is on an airplane.
Speaker 14: It sounds like, yeah, I'm reaching out to somebody.
Speaker 7: All right, we're going to try to get that handled.
Speaker 7: But it's crazy. I want to tell everybody out there though.
Speaker 7: This hour is brought to you by eight eight eight
Speaker 7: Heating dot Com.
Speaker 6: These guys are unbelievable.
Speaker 7: You've heard me talk about Garrett for probably fifteen years.
Speaker 6: Now. If here's the bottom line.
Speaker 7: You need an honest company to come out and diagnose
Speaker 7: and fix a problem with a furnace or your ac,
Speaker 7: you call up eight eight eight Heating dot Com.
Speaker 6: I mean simple as that.
Speaker 7: If you want a new system, you call up adad
Speaker 7: eight heating dot Com. If you want all the options,
Speaker 7: you call up eight eight eight Heating dot Com. And
Speaker 7: I'll leave it at that. I've personally used them. They're
Speaker 7: great people. Now Tiffany has got an issue, and she's got.
Speaker 6: A couple issues.
Speaker 7: One she had tenants in her house that claimed that
Speaker 7: there was mold, and they're basically claiming their health deteriorated
Speaker 7: after they live there. They're out of the house now,
Speaker 7: but apparently they're trying to have you serve now for
Speaker 7: what twenty five thousand dollars fifty thousand or whatever they're
Speaker 7: going to claim.
Speaker 6: You haven't seen the lawsuit yet, right.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen the lawsuit, but.
Speaker 8: It's probably going to be way more than that.
Speaker 5: Yeah. They basically said they tried to settle for twenty
Speaker 5: five thousand. When I denied that, yep, they said it
Speaker 5: was going to be double, if not more than that.
Speaker 5: So they're thinking anywhere from fifty to seventy thousand dollars
Speaker 5: is what they're trying to see me for.
Speaker 6: There's two things here.
Speaker 7: One as soon as you get served, because I don't
Speaker 7: know if this attorney in fact, do you have some
Speaker 7: of the demand letters? Yes, you do have some of
Speaker 7: the demand letters. I'm almost curious if you shouldn't. Honestly,
Speaker 7: I would probably call my insurance company up and saying
Speaker 7: these guys are threatening to sue me and apparently they're
Speaker 7: you know, on the way. In other words, they're trying
Speaker 7: to serve me right now, and I'd let them get
Speaker 7: involved at this point, I really would. Yeah, I think
Speaker 7: you have to. I mean, I think you're trying to
Speaker 7: shake you down, and it's horrible. But what I'm really
Speaker 7: afraid of, Tiffany is when you and your husband moved there,
Speaker 7: and I realize your husband died a year and a
Speaker 7: half go, eighteen months ago, you guys lived in this
Speaker 7: house we're talking about, right, yes, and then you started
Speaker 7: renting it out.
Speaker 6: But you didn't change the insurance type, did you? Or
Speaker 6: you did?
Speaker 5: I don't think I did. I just kind of kept
Speaker 5: everything the same.
Speaker 7: And I'm not so sure that's going to be a
Speaker 7: reason for a denial. I wonder if Marco Bendonelli could
Speaker 7: even answer that. Susanne, our main guy, Brian is who
Speaker 7: I wanted to talk to on this at Compass Insurance.
Speaker 7: But I want to try to get one other attorney
Speaker 7: on Marco real quick, John Fuller. He was getting I
Speaker 7: know two people now that basically, once going into court,
Speaker 7: one got on an airplane that I wanted for this call.
Speaker 7: But I'm going to see if I can get Marco
Speaker 7: on for it real quick. So let me put you
Speaker 7: on hold. But I'm a little nervous about the coverage.
Speaker 7: I don't know if they could give you a straight
Speaker 7: up denial for that, I don't know, but I would
Speaker 7: love to I would love to find out. I mean,
Speaker 7: I wonder arguably if you would have coverage, but you
Speaker 7: probably when you first got that demand letter, you probably
Speaker 7: should have sent it over to him. Did you even
Speaker 7: think about what I'm saying right now up till now,
Speaker 7: meaning you didn't have the right kind of coverage? Has
Speaker 7: that even crossed your mind?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: Not at all, not at all. You know, yeah, with
Speaker 5: you know, like I said, it was kind of with
Speaker 5: renting it kind of just.
Speaker 6: No, Hey, listen, there's a lot of people. Here's what
Speaker 6: I'm hoping.
Speaker 7: I don't want to freak you out, but what I'm yeah,
Speaker 7: this conversation, I simply don't want to freak you out.
Speaker 6: But what I'm hoping and I and I think.
Speaker 7: I'm right, But that's royally why I want that advice
Speaker 7: from these two people is it's not really the circumstance,
Speaker 7: but because you guys did live there for a long
Speaker 7: time and you basically just kept auto renewing even though
Speaker 7: you leased it out or rented it out, whether or
Speaker 7: not it was there.
Speaker 6: But hold on we're.
Speaker 7: Going to come back and this attention for Tiffany, go ahead,
Speaker 7: go ahead, both Okay.
Speaker 3: Tiffany, how many demand letters did you receive.
Speaker 5: At the time. I did, because I did hire an
Speaker 5: attorney for the eviction, so he received we received when
Speaker 5: I had him as my attorney. He gosh, I want
Speaker 5: to say two maybe, Okay.
Speaker 3: I'm just curious in these demands and these demand letters,
Speaker 3: does the tenant actually show or provide proof that they
Speaker 3: were got sick from this moldyah?
Speaker 5: I think so basically, it's all, you know, just kind
Speaker 5: of like it felt a lot of these letters, I
Speaker 5: want to say, maybe there was four. A lot of
Speaker 5: these letters. It felt like they were strong arming me.
Speaker 6: It's totally a shakedown.
Speaker 8: There's no doubt.
Speaker 3: Did they send them certified or this in the general mail?
Speaker 5: They sent them through email to my attorney.
Speaker 3: I think I think they're just like Mark's head. I
Speaker 3: think they're just shaking you down.
Speaker 7: Yeah. But if they're truly getting ready to serve her,
Speaker 7: why do you think it's a real deal at this point, Tiffany.
Speaker 5: They filed a complaint and it's it's not filed through
Speaker 5: the course.
Speaker 6: Oh, so you actually see it?
Speaker 7: So I mean there is a lawsuit five yeah, litigation pending.
Speaker 5: Who is that exactly?
Speaker 6: Hey, Kelly, who is that dragon? Can you tell me
Speaker 6: who that is?
Speaker 4: Should be?
Speaker 14: Marco?
Speaker 7: Can you please put them on so I can instead
Speaker 7: of getting them three oh three seven to one three
Speaker 7: A two?
Speaker 6: Who is a dragon? Just talk to me? It's no
Speaker 6: big deal, no idea.
Speaker 7: But she says, no, okay, all right, not sure what
Speaker 7: that is, but so so Tiffany hold on. I just
Speaker 7: got to get one of our experts on that. That's
Speaker 7: the bottom line, no matter what. I need to talk
Speaker 7: to someone that understands the insurance game, and that's going
Speaker 7: to be Marco Bendinelli, and we've got to figure out.
Speaker 7: I asked John about it and the coverage, and that's
Speaker 7: where I wanted Compass Insurance on as well, because if
Speaker 7: I can get Brian or someone on from Compass, we
Speaker 7: can find out. Because she was renting it out if
Speaker 7: that's going to be an issue. But if he actually
Speaker 7: bo if he actually filed the lawsuit, this attorney or
Speaker 7: she whomever it is, I mean, it's coming to her.
Speaker 7: She's going to get served and her homeowners generally would
Speaker 7: take over from here. The biggest thing I'm afraid of.
Speaker 7: You have rental properties, you got like five or six Well.
Speaker 3: That's why she just needs to contact her insurance company.
Speaker 3: But even though they hired counsel, she needs to research
Speaker 3: who this lawyer is. It still could be her down.
Speaker 7: She shouldn't have to do any of this. That's what
Speaker 7: her insurance company's for as the coverage.
Speaker 3: That's why I spend a ton of money on insurance
Speaker 3: and all my properties. Just pick up the phone and
Speaker 3: let them start handling it. And she should call them immediately.
Speaker 6: She should have.
Speaker 7: Well, the only reason I'd like to talk to one
Speaker 7: of our experts first in case if there's some like
Speaker 7: serious red flags in this, because she doesn't have a
Speaker 7: renter's policy. I'm sure all of your units have a
Speaker 7: renter's policy. Yes, you're the owner, they're the renter. And
Speaker 7: the difference is a lot. In other words, it's a
Speaker 7: lot more expensive than your home at home right at
Speaker 7: the third more. That's what I'm saying, And what I'm
Speaker 7: afraid of is I don't want her to reach out
Speaker 7: to her insurance company, and we're giving her bad advice
Speaker 7: right now. Although I'm not sure what else you would do,
Speaker 7: but I would love to hear from one of our
Speaker 7: insurance guys. Hold on, let's take a break and come back.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna try to get one of them.
Speaker 6: On go with a sure thing Denver's best roofer Excel
Speaker 6: Roofing dot com.
Speaker 2: You don't pay a cent until you're content.
Speaker 6: Time for an insurance checkup, freeation comparison call Compass Insurance
Speaker 6: paying too much your coverage at dozens of insurance companies
Speaker 6: find out now three oh three seven to seven to
Speaker 6: one help. You'll think you're his only customer when you
Speaker 6: choose Frank durand the real estate Man dot com to
Speaker 6: list your home with Remax Alliance three oh three nine
Speaker 6: two zero sixteen twenty two.
Speaker 8: Okay, three oh three seven one three A two five five.
Speaker 7: I am struggling a little to get an expert on.
Speaker 6: I'm really afraid.
Speaker 7: With some of the answers we might hear with Tiffany,
Speaker 7: but I'm probably more optimistic at this time with her
Speaker 7: insurance coverage. When you have rentals, and I just bring
Speaker 7: this up to Bo because Bo's got a bunch of
Speaker 7: rentals in Denver. At least it's this current day you
Speaker 7: do you're getting ready to.
Speaker 6: Get out, to get out and go with this Terra. Yeah,
Speaker 6: like this lease is her up so.
Speaker 7: But but the bottom line is when you have a
Speaker 7: rental property and rent a house out, I don't care
Speaker 7: if you have an Airbnb and it's short term rental
Speaker 7: or a long term rental, your insurance company needs to
Speaker 7: know what you do with that because when you rent
Speaker 7: a house out, generally that insurance coverage costs quite a bit.
Speaker 3: A bit more is more risk involved because you're not
Speaker 3: the primary your owner. I mean, you're the prime owner,
Speaker 3: but you're not living in that house, so there's more
Speaker 3: risk because you got tenants.
Speaker 6: And I'm just.
Speaker 7: Really hoping that there's not some kind of exclusion in
Speaker 7: that policy that they could hold against her. And what
Speaker 7: I mean by that is there's people suing her, which
Speaker 7: seems to be frivolous. That's just my opinion from what
Speaker 7: Tiffany has told us.
Speaker 6: But when she.
Speaker 7: Actually gets served by that lawsuit, and they've already filed
Speaker 7: it with the court, that's going to be an issue
Speaker 7: for if she does have coverage, which I'm hoping she
Speaker 7: does in fact, I really do. I once again, I
Speaker 7: don't want her two nervous. I really do think she
Speaker 7: has coverage what I want to find out though, is
Speaker 7: if she does. But they have to do everything. I mean,
Speaker 7: the fact that she didn't already turn it over to
Speaker 7: the en Karance. But this poor woman lost her husband
Speaker 7: eighteen months ago.
Speaker 6: She didn't know.
Speaker 8: I mean, she simply didn't know. And a lot of
Speaker 8: people do that.
Speaker 7: A lot of people rent out of house after they
Speaker 7: lived in it and do not switch to a different
Speaker 7: kind of coverage.
Speaker 6: So what I'm trying to do, and Kat Brian Burns.
Speaker 7: Would know this off the top of his head, and
Speaker 7: I think Marco would too. But we're going to get
Speaker 7: one of those two on by the end of the show,
Speaker 7: I'm sure of it, or somebody on. But here's what
Speaker 7: I want to do. In the meantime, I do want
Speaker 7: to talk to our guests. These are really good guys. Listen,
Speaker 7: K and H. They have been on this show over
Speaker 7: the years, different people, I mean Ted, Ted, well actually
Speaker 7: Lee Diamond and Steve Diamond his son. You guys have
Speaker 7: been on numerous times in the past couple of years.
Speaker 7: How you guys have owned a years? Yeah, yeah, we're
Speaker 7: going on two years. Yeah, But I mean we're going
Speaker 7: back to what nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 6: I think yep. I mean it's a ridiculous amount of time.
Speaker 6: How long K and H has been around.
Speaker 7: And you guys, regardless of the employees of the people
Speaker 7: coming in, have and on the show forever. So it's
Speaker 7: great seeing you guys. You started a new painting company,
Speaker 7: K and H's Painting Pros, and Andy, you've got a
Speaker 7: couple deals you're going to do right now. I wished
Speaker 7: it is armed by the way during the break and
Speaker 7: I don't mind. I don't mind telling people how it went.
Speaker 7: I said, you guys want to do a special, you
Speaker 7: just launched it. You might as well get some people calling.
Speaker 7: I mean, you've how long have you been doing painting though?
Speaker 15: Honestly, Andy, yeah, between Lee and I were combined for
Speaker 15: four decades in the industry, so forever.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so we know what we're doing.
Speaker 8: How many crews do you guys have that you just
Speaker 8: know and trust?
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 15: So I've been working with our crews, representing with them
Speaker 15: for a while now and I've got, you know, ten
Speaker 15: to twenty crews that i should put on a job.
Speaker 6: And yeah, these guys listen.
Speaker 7: I guess what I'm trying to get through to you
Speaker 7: is if you need something painted, they're going.
Speaker 6: To get out there.
Speaker 7: They have, of course all the insurance covers, but more importantly,
Speaker 7: it's k and ah. I mean, these guys are great,
Speaker 7: You're going to be happy with the product, but the
Speaker 7: deal they have right now is a pretty kick ass
Speaker 7: I'll be straightforward with you. So it's two different things.
Speaker 7: Do you want the exterior of the house done? What
Speaker 7: did we come up with? You wanted ten percent? I said,
Speaker 7: no way, What did we come up with twenty?
Speaker 15: Yeah, So through the end of the week, give me
Speaker 15: a call, give off your exterior.
Speaker 7: Yep, exterior, So that's on the outside of the house
Speaker 7: twenty percent.
Speaker 6: But you have to call this week. Now.
Speaker 7: You don't have to get it painted this week. That's
Speaker 7: not going to happen, but you got to get on
Speaker 7: the books and call. Now they'll come out and give
Speaker 7: you a free estimate. I mean, really, how's it work?
Speaker 7: You come out, you give them a free estimate. And
Speaker 7: then how about colors? What happens if they are painting
Speaker 7: the outside of the house and right now it's purple
Speaker 7: or blue and they want to go with something else.
Speaker 7: Do you do you have people that help them pick
Speaker 7: out different colors. Like we live out in the country
Speaker 7: and we have green trees and I have a red
Speaker 7: barn and stuff like that. Do you bring out like
Speaker 7: a Sherwin Williams expert or do you bring out a
Speaker 7: color expert to help?
Speaker 15: Yeah, of course, we've got a couple of different options there.
Speaker 15: I mean, our our mission is to have color confidence
Speaker 15: for the homeowner, right. We want you happy with you know,
Speaker 15: the color that we're going to be putting on the
Speaker 15: inside or outside. So we've got designers that we've were
Speaker 15: partnered with, and then through Sherwin Williams, we've got designers
Speaker 15: that we can bring in salt as well, and all
Speaker 15: that's free, yep, absolutely.
Speaker 6: And then you give a bid.
Speaker 7: So once you figure out what they want, and we're
Speaker 7: talking the complete bid, you know, all the prep everything,
Speaker 7: full scope, and then if you want it, you get
Speaker 7: twenty percent off if you initiated the call this week,
Speaker 7: and then after that it goes back to regular price,
Speaker 7: which is still great. Yeah, no matter how you look
Speaker 7: at it, it's still great. Twenty percent off getting your
Speaker 7: house painted is actually pretty big.
Speaker 6: Let you know, I'll take.
Speaker 7: A round number. Let's say it's a thousand bucks. You're
Speaker 7: talking eight hundred dollars that's a good deal. Then on
Speaker 7: the inside, this is pretty cool on the inside.
Speaker 8: If you have two rooms painted. Now listen, these are areas.
Speaker 7: You can't say, hey, you're going to paint the two
Speaker 7: bathrooms and the great room is free. It's three equal
Speaker 7: areas or whatever the equal will be. But it's basically
Speaker 7: a third off, is what it comes down to. So
Speaker 7: you're talking you get two rooms painted, and a lot
Speaker 7: of homes that might be the downstairs, right, I mean
Speaker 7: you're painting the kitchen and the family room in the bedroom.
Speaker 7: I mean you know there might be a hallway or
Speaker 7: something there. But I mean, that's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 7: But so you buy two and you get one free.
Speaker 6: Yep. And that's going to be the exact same way. Yep.
Speaker 15: And you could reach us at seven two zero four
Speaker 15: five seven five seven six seven, give us a call anytime,
Speaker 15: and we're happy to get you in the books.
Speaker 7: And let's talk prep real quick. We talked to at
Speaker 7: the beginning how important that was. So when you go out,
Speaker 7: you walk around, what's the average home you guys paint here?
Speaker 7: Is it siding? I have some sort or is it stucko?
Speaker 7: You know what's weird about Colorado? Guys, maybe you can
Speaker 7: help me out here. I never really see brick. I'm
Speaker 7: not going to say I don't see it at all?
Speaker 7: Is that because the nearest place, the nearest quarry, the
Speaker 7: nearest place brick is made, is so far away. It
Speaker 7: just doesn't make sense. How come I don't see brick
Speaker 7: as an option?
Speaker 6: K and H. You guys do siding. What else do
Speaker 6: you do besides siding?
Speaker 12: Windows? Doors?
Speaker 6: No? No, no, but I mean.
Speaker 8: Just for the siding, do you guys do stucco or no?
Speaker 12: We don't do stucco, but we do a stone veneer product.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like a fakestone if you will.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it's real stone. But it's not like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 12: building stone and mortaring it up.
Speaker 7: No, I know exactly why. In fact, I have it
Speaker 7: on our house. It's gorgeous. It looks like, once again,
Speaker 7: it's not fakestone. It looks like it's actual real stone though.
Speaker 7: But but how come we never see brick here?
Speaker 12: I would say it's probably just the the age of
Speaker 12: the city, you know, because brick is kind of an
Speaker 12: old style of building.
Speaker 8: It's way more expensive to use brick.
Speaker 12: It's just the skill of laying brick is slowly fading out,
Speaker 12: So the people, the amount of people that do that, that's.
Speaker 6: Not a lot of exactly. Yeah, that's that's an interesting Yeah,
Speaker 6: there really is.
Speaker 12: Because Denver is such a new city in comparative to
Speaker 12: like or an older city like that, you're not going
Speaker 12: to see a lot more brick homes out here.
Speaker 6: So what siding do you guys have? Now?
Speaker 12: We use James Hardy primarily.
Speaker 6: And everybody hears about that one.
Speaker 7: I mean it's probably the most popular siding in the country.
Speaker 12: It's up there for sure.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's crazy. Why is that? I know?
Speaker 7: I know, Like, first of all, it's not just painted
Speaker 7: or coated. It's actually impregnated to whatever color, So fading
Speaker 7: is just about zero.
Speaker 12: It does fade just like everything else. But yeah, they
Speaker 12: have a fifteen year color warranty on there as well.
Speaker 6: Does it hold up longer than that here? Yeah? It does.
Speaker 12: The fading. You know, if you get it all done
Speaker 12: at once, it's going to fade equally, so it's gonna
Speaker 12: look sharp, you know it matter.
Speaker 14: Big thing in.
Speaker 12: Colorado is wood like woodpeckers, termites. Hey, yeah, we don't
Speaker 12: have a lot of them here, but when it does happen,
Speaker 12: they don't touch hardy. The other thing is wind and hail.
Speaker 12: It's very very much.
Speaker 7: So yeah, you might add, well, how does that work
Speaker 7: if if it does get damaged? I guess you just
Speaker 7: replace whatever side. I mean, what else are you going
Speaker 7: to do? It's like anything, yep. And if you get
Speaker 7: hit on three sides, they probably do the whole house.
Speaker 7: Do you guys deal with a lot of insurance claims.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and the insurance companies will actually give you a
Speaker 12: lot better discounts if you have hardy on the house
Speaker 12: as well. You know what the last piece I want
Speaker 12: to say real quick is it's fire resistant, very fire resistant.
Speaker 12: So you know nowadays like in Boulder, Yeah, you have
Speaker 12: to put hardy on your house.
Speaker 6: Or some fibers fire resistant. Yeah.
Speaker 7: So so something curious you brought up though. When you
Speaker 7: guys go out, you know there's a lot of roofers
Speaker 7: out there. When roofers go out there just looking at
Speaker 7: the roof, I mean, when you guys go out after
Speaker 7: a hailstorm, you're looking at the siding. The windows. Windows

Speaker 7: And the insurance adjusters never pointed out to you do
Speaker 7: you guys run into.
Speaker 6: That Yeah, all the time.

Speaker 7: not expert A. I won an attorney. I've got to
Speaker 7: help Tiffany. Here's what we're doing. I hope you guys know.
Speaker 7: Did you guys tell Tiffany? I simply want to get
Speaker 7: her back on tomorrow. That is an affirmative. So listen,
Speaker 7: that's what we're gonna do. And I just found out
Speaker 7: we know who Tiffany is and what I mean. What
Speaker 7: I mean by that is I don't know her personally,
Speaker 7: but I know her family and they're great people, and
Speaker 7: she could be in a real bind. So I don't
Speaker 7: want her to do anything nothing, no conversations with anybody
Speaker 7: till tomorrow. And we get a couple attorneys and I
Speaker 7: mean that, a couple attorneys and our insurance agent to
Speaker 7: all pow wow and come up with the right thing. Now,
Speaker 7: I got to say this on YouTube. First of all,
Speaker 7: we went down for a little bit and came back up.
Speaker 7: I get this so much. Dave put this, and I'm
Speaker 7: going to read exactly what he put. What did Mark
Speaker 7: just say earlier about the stock market? Yeah, I do.
Speaker 7: I invest in stocks, and I talk about annuities as well.
Speaker 6: So I want to.
Speaker 7: Make this very clear to everybody out there. There is
Speaker 7: no one out there that I know of that an
Speaker 7: annuity would be the only thing to retire with. With
Speaker 7: the exception you're older and you've already had one, and
Speaker 7: it's built up, and it would be crazy to get
Speaker 7: rid of it when you're to the point of turning
Speaker 7: the cash flow on. In fact, there could be other
Speaker 7: reasons too, but in general, for most people my age fifty,
Speaker 7: let's say, right around fifties, if you're starting to think,
Speaker 7: you know, I have an IRA, I own this property,
Speaker 7: I have this house, I have these assets and everything else,
Speaker 7: there's something so cool about an annuity. The right annuity
Speaker 7: is that you do get that guaranteed money. If you
Speaker 7: do lose the other money in the stock market, a
Speaker 7: house does burn down, there is something catastrophic something you
Speaker 7: have that guaranteed money. Think about having the Social Security
Speaker 7: check every single month, and then along with that, you
Speaker 7: and your wife for your spouse, both have an annuity
Speaker 7: product or maybe one for the both of you that
Speaker 7: covers both, and you have a secondary check that comes
Speaker 7: every single month forever. Listen, an annuity is never gonna
Speaker 7: make you rich. You're not going to invest two hundred
Speaker 7: thousand dollars and get twenty thousand dollars a month. It's
Speaker 7: just simply not gonna happen. But you might do two
Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars and let it sit and grow, not
Speaker 7: lose any money, but gain every single year and get
Speaker 7: five to six, maybe seven thousand a month when you
Speaker 7: retire forever.
Speaker 8: That along with social Security.
Speaker 6: Think about it.
Speaker 7: You could be up ten, twelve, thirteen thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 7: And if you have other investments, which you should, that
Speaker 7: can grow, that can double. Like property is a great one.
Speaker 7: In fact, that's like vest Eira properties, or like this
Speaker 7: stock market. I'm very aggressive at my age. I'm very
Speaker 7: aggressive in the stock market. I'll tell you what I
Speaker 7: own a ton of right now. I own a ton
Speaker 7: of Tesla. I own a ton of Tesla. In fact,
Speaker 7: that could be a very literal thing to say. And
Speaker 7: here's the deal. It's up and down right now. I
Speaker 7: knew that coming into this administration because of how close
Speaker 7: Elon is to it. But I'm willing to stick with it.
Speaker 7: Most of my Tesla I'm in around one hundred and
Speaker 7: fifteen bucks. I shorted Tesla years ago. I lost my
Speaker 7: ass shorten them probably in two thousand, I don't know,
Speaker 7: eighteen nineteen. I was one of those Bill Gates guys,
Speaker 7: I was trying to short it. But my point is
Speaker 7: I knew there'd be some abuse here. I wish I
Speaker 7: did sell it at four hundred and eighty when I
Speaker 7: maxed in December, but I don't care. I'm not selling
Speaker 7: anywhere near three hundred. And I'm going to tell you people,
Speaker 7: I'm not giving you stock advice. I'm not a financial advisor,
Speaker 7: but I'm going to tell you something about Tesla right now.
Speaker 7: A lot of it's in the news, and they do
Speaker 7: trade it a very high X. They do, but they've
Speaker 7: got robots coming out. I'm sorry people. How many people
Speaker 7: in here know of another company? I think Honda tried
Speaker 7: it years ago, but I still haven't seen the Honda robot.
Speaker 7: How many people are going to have a robot? Most
Speaker 7: likely by the end of the year you can place
Speaker 7: an order for I mean, think about that. How many
Speaker 7: other companies have the data of every road most people
Speaker 7: have every traveled in this country and in Europe and
Speaker 7: soon to be India and other places, to where everything
Speaker 7: is mapped out and your car can drive you everywhere.
Speaker 6: When we leave.
Speaker 7: Here, Suzanne will get in the car with me. I
Speaker 7: will hit a button and it will drive me home.
Speaker 7: Anybody else have a car that does add in here
Speaker 7: that's not a Tesla. Seriously, anybody, and they are going
Speaker 7: to take that technology and they're going to start marketing.
Speaker 7: They're talking to all of them right now, Nissan, Chevy,
Speaker 7: all the locals, all the foreigns, Honda, everybody. No one
Speaker 7: else has the infrastructure. No one else has the infrastructure
Speaker 7: down like Elon has in Tesla. And another thing, the
Speaker 7: charging stuff. Do you remember our government was going to
Speaker 7: put chargers everywhere. Oh that's canceled. They're not doing that.
Speaker 7: There's not enough electric cars. It was a waste of
Speaker 7: tax money. When you want to charge, where do you go?
Speaker 7: You go to a Tesla station, you get an adapter,
Speaker 7: and you're on the Tesla network. The guy owns the place.
Speaker 7: I mean, you might not like him because of politics
Speaker 7: right now, but to think that the guy that created SpaceX,
Speaker 7: To think that the guy that's got these chips, now
Speaker 7: that this has nothing to do with Tesla though Tesla
Speaker 7: is the solar, it's the robots, and Tesla's the infrastructure,
Speaker 7: in the software, in the AI, that's the Tesla aspect.
Speaker 6: But think about it. He also owned SpaceX. What did
Speaker 6: he start isn't it PayPal? Was it PayPal?
Speaker 8: He started PayPal?
Speaker 7: The guy can execute better than anybody walking this planet.
Speaker 7: So not to bet on Elon, not to bet on
Speaker 7: Tesla because of what's going on right now, in my
Speaker 7: humble opinion and is absolutely insane. The guy is incredible.
Speaker 7: He's got chips dragon. Do you know about these chips?
Speaker 14: Hey, you put your brain, you.
Speaker 6: Put them in your brain. Monkeys can play like pinball.
Speaker 6: I mean, I've never seen anything like it. What are
Speaker 6: they really for? Even though of course people are gonna say,
Speaker 6: well Peter would help, would hate.
Speaker 7: Him because you know he tested on monkeys. Well, that's
Speaker 7: like anything in the world. I can't. I can't stop that.
Speaker 7: I much rather you test it on a monkey than
Speaker 7: a human. But it's incredible. Think about this. Think about
Speaker 7: people that are paralyzed paraplegics, all of a sudden, they
Speaker 7: can walk. This neuron system is all of a sudden
Speaker 7: working again because of these implants they're working on. Think
Speaker 7: about that people with traumatic brain injuries all of a sudden,
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, can focus all the time and
Speaker 7: they don't go out of it for a while. Think
Speaker 7: of all of that kind of thing. Think of tremor's.
Speaker 7: Think of Parkinson's. Think of a chip that can go
Speaker 7: in and fix you dementia, dementia, Think about it, your
Speaker 7: memory a chip, but it's there, it's real. It's absolutely insane,
Speaker 7: and the guy has proven time in time and time
Speaker 7: again he can execute.

Speaker 7: Or help a troubleshooter dot com. I was talking to
Speaker 7: these guys with k and Ah during the break, I
Speaker 7: think about we were talking about the robot from Tesla.
Speaker 7: It's coming out now it can't do this, but eventually
Speaker 7: this is where it's going. Can you imagine? And how
Speaker 7: much would you pay to have a robot in your house?
Speaker 7: It's going to do everything, It's going to vacuum, it
Speaker 7: could drive you. And then think about it with AI
Speaker 7: and the growth of AI now and Tesla's AI they
Speaker 7: own a lot of their own AI clouds.
Speaker 6: Think about this.
Speaker 7: You say, hey, robot, go paint the house, and the
Speaker 7: robots never painted a house before. It's simply going to
Speaker 7: talk to the god in the sky, the cloud in
Speaker 7: the sky and literally learn how to paint a house
Speaker 7: and go paint a house. I mean, it's not that
Speaker 7: far away. Isn't that incredible. I'm not saying it's like
Speaker 7: five years away. I'm saying twenty thirty years. It's gonna
Speaker 7: be nuts. How much would you pay for a robot
Speaker 7: like that? Really, it doesn't matter what you want done.
Speaker 7: I mean there's limitations that can't fly at least not yet.
Speaker 14: Great question. I don't know.
Speaker 15: I might be out of a job if that's a case.
Speaker 15: If we can have you might not have money to
Speaker 15: buy the robot.
Speaker 14: That's true.
Speaker 7: You know, I've always said that about self driving guys.
Speaker 7: I'm talking to Steve Diamond and Andy Shecker. Shecker am
Speaker 7: I saying.
Speaker 6: That right, nailed it, thank you, And.
Speaker 7: They're with K and H Home Solutions. Great guys, and
Speaker 7: I'll do that specially again in a minute.
Speaker 6: But think about this. I've always said this for years.
Speaker 7: Once self driving is everywhere, and I think that probably
Speaker 7: is about four or five years for people that can
Speaker 7: buy a new car afford to buy a new car.
Speaker 7: And I think that's even going to come down. I
Speaker 7: think for most cars you're going to have self driving,
Speaker 7: and I think Tesla's leading the way on that butt.
Speaker 7: What's going to happen to like I don't know, like
Speaker 7: Golden these little towns that are basically speed traps. The
Speaker 7: car's not going to get in trouble, You're not going
Speaker 7: to have as many accidents. What's going to happen to insurance?
Speaker 7: I would assume insurance should go down. I mean really,
Speaker 7: I'm not saying things don't happen, but my goodness, if
Speaker 7: your car is following the speed limit and you're not
Speaker 7: there to road rage or you're not there to try
Speaker 7: to get home quick and just everything's moving along like that.
Speaker 7: I mean, man, cops could be put out of business,
Speaker 7: which isn't a bad deal. And I don't mean anything
Speaker 7: negative towards cops, but I mean, my goodness, if we did,
Speaker 7: if crime went down, that'd be great, along with speeding
Speaker 7: tickets and DUIs and all that stuff.
Speaker 6: Give me some thoughts.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, my mom had a Tesla for a
Speaker 12: while and I would love taking that thing out.
Speaker 6: What did she have an ass?
Speaker 12: And X yeah said the ass.
Speaker 6: I love my ass.
Speaker 7: Oh man, did you ever self drive or you guys
Speaker 7: didn't have any tip?
