Speaker 1: Yeah, ripped up, didn't need advice, So you don't happen.
Speaker 2: We come running just as fast as we can. Shooter's
Speaker 2: gonna help me come. This is the Troubleshooter Show. No,
Speaker 2: Tom Martino, Hi, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: What's going on? We have a lot happening here. By
Speaker 2: the way, I did post and I found out why
Speaker 2: I posted yesterday an error without audio, But I did
Speaker 2: post that segment that I condensed that was on the
Speaker 2: show this week earlier, where an older woman was basically saved.
Speaker 3: Her life was saved due to a neighbor calling the show.
Speaker 2: The show then prompted our deputy to go out, and
Speaker 2: Deputy Bow.
Speaker 3: Went out and with the name, and then they called
Speaker 3: nine to one one and had rescue go in.
Speaker 2: Aurora police previously refused to go in several times, and
Speaker 2: despite the neighbors concern and the relatives concern, and the
Speaker 2: daughter's concern, and I remember saying on the show the
Speaker 2: other day, boo on them, but rescue went in. Now,
Speaker 2: by the way, Aurora Police at any time could have
Speaker 2: called fire and rescue to go in, but they didn't.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they didn't, But that video is
Speaker 2: posted on our YouTube channel, Troubleshooter Network.
Speaker 3: But Deputy d he went and talked to some people.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You don't have to say who you talked to, But
Speaker 2: you talked to some insiders at the police station.
Speaker 3: So what did you find out their limitations were? What
Speaker 3: did you find out?
Speaker 4: Well, this is before BA went out there. I called
Speaker 4: a friend of mine who retired as a lieutenant from
Speaker 4: the APD a couple of years ago, and asked him
Speaker 4: what keywords dispatch would need to hear in order to
Speaker 4: break and enter, and he said that there are no
Speaker 4: such keywords. They in absence of exigence circumstances such as
Speaker 4: seeing a body through the window, they would not enter
Speaker 4: the unit because they are afraid of getting sued left
Speaker 4: and right, including by the city attorney or the district
Speaker 4: attorney themselves.
Speaker 2: Why would they be sued? I mean, then, why can emergency?
Speaker 2: Why can I the the fire and rescue go in.
Speaker 4: I didn't ask him that because my focus was specifically
Speaker 4: on the police response. But he is willing to come
Speaker 4: back to the show and discuss the limitations on police
Speaker 4: response to such calls.
Speaker 2: Okay, but in essence, they can't just go into a
Speaker 2: place unless they actually see something or maybe.
Speaker 3: Hear something exactly.
Speaker 4: It's not by laws, by their policy, which is limiting
Speaker 4: their liability and exposure to lawsuits.
Speaker 2: All right, three h three seven one three talk or
Speaker 2: as you see the number right here if you're watching
Speaker 2: on YouTube or streaming is three oh three Martino three
Speaker 2: oh three six.
Speaker 3: Two seven eight four six six.
Speaker 2: Frank, he wants to talk about an issue with a
Speaker 2: short in his car or in his jeep.
Speaker 3: What's going on? Frank?

Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 6: I bought a twenty sixteen Jeeps Renegade and it's had
Speaker 6: wiring problems like a short in there since I bought it.
Speaker 2: And wait, when did you buy it? Man?
Speaker 3: When did you buy it?
Speaker 6: A year and seven months ago? And this has been
Speaker 6: going on since I bought it?
Speaker 3: And what is the issue.
Speaker 6: The issue is every time that every time the water
Speaker 6: gets the rains or snow water gets in somewhere, it
Speaker 6: it messes up all the the check engine light comes on,
Speaker 6: other lights on, the cluster comes on. And now it
Speaker 6: came to the point where rain the other day when
Speaker 6: I was Mamar Colorado visiting.
Speaker 5: At rained real bad.
Speaker 6: The next day it would have start, and then it
Speaker 6: finally started a couple of times, a couple of tries,
Speaker 6: and I just put a new battery in it and
Speaker 6: finally started. And then after I started it, it wouldn't give.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't There's no there's no RPMs in the motor.
Speaker 6: You give us some gases. It's just is just idling.

Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, that man. That happens so much with people.
Speaker 2: I can't find the damn problem. But okay, I'm looking,

Speaker 2: problems you were having, they were going to allow you
Speaker 2: to simply keep the They were going to sign it
Speaker 2: over to you and you didn't have to pay it off.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's what they said, and we waited two weeks.
Speaker 7: I reached out to them to say, now, now.
Speaker 2: Who handled that? What deputy handled that for? I still
Speaker 2: can't find that dang call. Do you remember the date
Speaker 2: you called?
Speaker 7: Approximately approximately two weeks ago on a Monday is what
Speaker 7: I'm thinking of, Monday or two?
Speaker 2: And who handled the problem?
Speaker 8: It was you, But I can't remember the deputy's name,
Speaker 8: to be honest, because my mind.
Speaker 2: Was okay, okay, I'm sorry to lay all that on you.
Speaker 2: I just trying to find so because why I had
Speaker 2: to find it and then call them back. So what happened?
Speaker 2: Did they ghost you or what? Man?
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 8: They stopped, They wouldn't answer for like three days, and.

Speaker 7: they'd rather deal with it in small claims court.
Speaker 2: Now, So where are they locate? Where are they located?
Speaker 7: Denver?

Speaker 3: What was the name of that.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm trying to find find anything to do
Speaker 2: with searching here so I can find the dang thing.
Speaker 2: So I just remember, weren't they even on the show
Speaker 2: with us?
Speaker 8: Yes, they call I messaged them and said we were
Speaker 8: on the show, and they called in. Yes, yes, we
Speaker 8: resolved everything. And then now they decided to change their
Speaker 8: mind and they want to go to small claims court again.
Speaker 8: And it's just that's that's why I thought it was
Speaker 8: a scam.
Speaker 7: They weren't honest from the beginning, and as you can see,
Speaker 7: they're not honest.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find dang it. I just I'm trying
Speaker 3: to find my what I'm trying to find my my deputies.

Speaker 2: recall it that we can't do? Yes, oh, thank you, dear.
Speaker 9: I believe it.
Speaker 10: Was assigned deputy Chopper.

Speaker 10: did have the owners on of yeah, and they came
Speaker 10: on the air and they were very forthright and said

Speaker 2: use it. You can use that in court that they

Speaker 2: Found it. I'm going to do details. We're on the
Speaker 2: phone seeing why they're backing out. They gave their word,

Speaker 6: What it does is when he gets wet, a check
Speaker 6: engine light, it's always a guarantee that always comes on.
Speaker 6: Other lights on the clusters start showing up. It came
Speaker 6: to the point where it didn't want it. It didn't
Speaker 6: want to start, and it has a new battery, and
Speaker 6: I did and then it did start a couple of
Speaker 6: minutes later. And then there was no RPM in the
Speaker 6: motor at all when it was running.
Speaker 12: It was idling.
Speaker 6: But you go give a gas and it wasn't even
Speaker 6: doing nothing with the RPMs with the motor. It's just
Speaker 6: like sitting there in idle. You put it in reverse
Speaker 6: and then it had some power. But when this happens,
Speaker 6: it happens when it rains and snows. But then when
Speaker 6: it dries, the weather dry, when it's all hot and
Speaker 6: everything dries, everything goes back to normal.
Speaker 11: Okay, have you had that? If you go through a
Speaker 11: car wash. Do you have any issues?

Speaker 6: When I first bought the vehicle, whoever had it before
Speaker 6: neglected to turn around and to do anything about it.
Speaker 6: But right there on the driver's side, the window up
Speaker 6: up on top of the windshield.
Speaker 12: It was leaking water.
Speaker 6: It was leaking water for the longest time. Even what
Speaker 6: if the floor saw the floorboards and then they replaced
Speaker 6: they took them back to the dealer, they replaced the
Speaker 6: rubber around the wind windshield, and uh, that didn't help.
Speaker 11: Okay, Well, yeah, there's there's ways of fighting leaks.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 11: We use the smoke machine where we can fill you
Speaker 11: the whole vehicle with smoke and watch for the you know,
Speaker 11: for it to be leaving the car. Basically the reverse
Speaker 11: instead of putting water on the outside, look and see
Speaker 11: where it comes in. We'll put the Oka mccarcy where
Speaker 11: it comes out.
Speaker 2: Oh bro, that's cool. Hey, listen, where are you located, Frank?

Speaker 2: outside uh influences, They just don't.
Speaker 3: But you can look at it.
Speaker 6: I have Larry Miller one hundred and fourth. When all
Speaker 6: when when this was all, you know, the check engine
Speaker 6: light and all the fights on the clusters on. I
Speaker 6: took us there and sat over there for two weeks.
Speaker 12: And that was the only vehicle.
Speaker 6: And I called and they said they're not done with it.
Speaker 6: I said, I need to pick it up. I said,
Speaker 6: that's the only vehicle. I'm walking back and forth to
Speaker 6: the store and I'm getting up there in age where
Speaker 6: I can't I can't be doing that. And so I
Speaker 6: went down there and picked it up, and they charged
Speaker 6: me almost three hundred dollars for one day of diagnostics
Speaker 6: and they didn't even and then as dry, I said
Speaker 6: it dry, the sun's out and dry. You check l
Speaker 6: engine lights off and they think it's fine. I spent
Speaker 6: almost three hundred dollars on nothing.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, listen, man, Kevin will look at it

Speaker 3: That's what we want to know.
Speaker 2: We want we want to follow us because we'll keep
Speaker 2: going until we get this done. Now I looked up
Speaker 2: your original call. You are absolutely right. You did use
Speaker 2: the name Oscar, by the way, which is good.
Speaker 10: Well, we do have an update.
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, I want to recap for those.
Speaker 10: Because people join us in the journey.
Speaker 2: People join us all the time, and I want to recap.
Speaker 2: But basically, he bought a boat and they did say
Speaker 2: that they would sign the boat over to him. He
Speaker 2: bought a boat from Adam Neil mckintrick. His wife was
Speaker 2: his Gretchen, and they're from Boulder, but he bought it
Speaker 2: while they were in Florida. Is that right? So far?
Speaker 2: I got the right call right? And she called in
Speaker 2: after they heard about it, and they said, you know what,
Speaker 2: they want to settle the matter. And they said, and
Speaker 2: they said, they will release the title to and.
Speaker 3: Forgive the balance to.
Speaker 2: You said, what did you say?
Speaker 3: They did wrong? And I want to recap that.
Speaker 8: On a boat motor there's two separate parts, one called
Speaker 8: a lower unit like a transmission, the other ones called
Speaker 8: the motor, which is upper unit.
Speaker 7: So what happened was they.
Speaker 2: Said, oh, there was a hole in it or something,
Speaker 2: and they didn't disclose it. They said there was an
Speaker 2: oil leak, but you said there was way more trouble
Speaker 2: than they disclosed. And technically you bought it as is though,
Speaker 2: didn't you?
Speaker 7: Yes, But like I said, there was a lot of
Speaker 7: weird things that went on with the sale and it
Speaker 7: was just very odd. And that's why when they finally.
Speaker 2: I understand, but you bought it sight unseen? They said
Speaker 2: it was leaking. They said they didn't know about the whole.
Speaker 2: Now I want to I want to clarify this because
Speaker 2: I remember now this day and I have these notes
Speaker 2: and and and here's what I want to say, because
Speaker 2: you bought it as is, and they did say there
Speaker 2: was some kind of oil leak, and you said, yeah,
Speaker 2: way more than an oil leak. There was a hole.
Speaker 2: And they said, we didn't know about the whole blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. But but technically this was going to be
Speaker 2: a hard one. But they offered to sign it over
Speaker 2: to you on their own.
Speaker 10: I do have an update about this.
Speaker 3: And you called and talked to him. What did they say?
Speaker 10: Did I did? He blamed everything on his wife, and
Speaker 10: he said his.
Speaker 2: Wife should have never offered to.
Speaker 10: Basically give the money back, but now he just wants.
Speaker 2: To there was no money back. The wife never offered
Speaker 2: to give money back. The wife said they would simply
Speaker 2: sign the title over right right exactly. And what did
Speaker 2: he say? She didn't have authorization.
Speaker 12: To do it.
Speaker 10: And they're going to have to work it out in court.
Speaker 10: That is what he's obligated to. But the funny part
Speaker 10: is I had called him from three different numbers here
Speaker 10: at the station, and he called me back on two
Speaker 10: different ones and hung up as soon as I answered
Speaker 10: the phone.
Speaker 7: So he's hiding, yes, and he can't leave a message.
Speaker 7: He's a crook. And that's what this whole thing he
Speaker 7: lied about the boat. He tried to get me to
Speaker 7: pay the full amount. The engine turned out to not
Speaker 7: even be good. And it's supposed to be leaking in
Speaker 7: the lower unit. The engine is the upper unit. It
Speaker 7: turned out to be no good at all. The only
Speaker 7: thing good on the boat was the leaking lower unit.
Speaker 3: You know, you know what.
Speaker 2: Taking the small claims court and you can mention this
Speaker 2: show and all of it.
Speaker 7: Yep, I have the recordings. Good good, I'll figure it
Speaker 7: out in court. But that just tells you what type
Speaker 7: of scumbag that you deal with sometimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean the man is The man is
Speaker 2: a scumbag in my opinion, because you know, don't tell
Speaker 2: me your wife didn't have authority, you chaven his pig bastard.
Speaker 2: Don't tell me that. Crav I am so tired of people,
Speaker 2: I am tired of lying, cheating, ripoffs. Now, having said that,
Speaker 2: let me go back to the transaction. He did tell
Speaker 2: you there was an oil league bro, Yes, okay, well,
Speaker 2: there was an oil league. You know, I don't know
Speaker 2: why you went through with the deal. Let me get
Speaker 2: on your case for a minute. Here, Oscar, they told
Speaker 2: you there was an oil league for all you know,
Speaker 2: it could have been anything. It could have been serious.
Speaker 2: Why did you go ahead and buy it?
Speaker 8: Anyway, They had had a mechanic look at it, and
Speaker 8: he said it was the lower seal And I made
Speaker 8: a mistake.
Speaker 7: Trust me, I learned my lessons.
Speaker 2: But take him the small claims court and we'll follow
Speaker 2: this one along for sure. Three oh three seven one

Speaker 13: Well, they haven't listed as a furnished Airbnb.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it?
Speaker 3: Got it?
Speaker 2: And what happened.
Speaker 13: Me and my husband showed up on the twenty third
Speaker 13: to to look at it and to rent it and
Speaker 13: to stay there. And the gentleman seemed very nice at
Speaker 13: first when he introduced himself. He came down and introduced
Speaker 13: himself to us when we drove up.
Speaker 2: And after that, now were you getting Was this a room?
Speaker 2: Let me ask you. Was this a room and a
Speaker 2: home or was this a whole home? Or was this
Speaker 2: an apartment? Tell me what it was.
Speaker 13: This was a basement unit.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it? Bath okay?
Speaker 2: So then what happened in his health?
Speaker 14: Got it?
Speaker 13: The gentleman was very nice at first, and then after
Speaker 13: that he went upstairs to his home and I called Lisa,
Speaker 13: which is the one that I'm supposed to be dealing
Speaker 13: with when I rented the place, because I sent her
Speaker 13: the money and the deposit, and she said, if you
Speaker 13: have any issues, you need to call me and let
Speaker 13: me know what's going on.
Speaker 3: What was the issue that you Why did you contact Lisa?
Speaker 3: What was the issue?
Speaker 13: So the issue was the heat in the basement was cold,
Speaker 13: and I asked them to turn up the heat because
Speaker 13: the heat is controlled by him upstairs.
Speaker 2: Okay, that yeah, that's gonna be difficult because basements are
Speaker 2: always cooler.
Speaker 3: That would that would probably smoke him out. But Martha,
Speaker 3: when have you really needed heat this? Uh? Since the
Speaker 3: twenty third? Really? I mean when have you needed heat?
Speaker 13: I needed heat because I'm cold. I'm I'm usually a
Speaker 13: cold person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna this is gonna be a hard one.
Speaker 2: So what did what did Lisa say?
Speaker 13: She checked with him and he said that it was
Speaker 13: seventy four upstairs and I it wasn't seventy four downstairs?
Speaker 2: Well, of course not, of course not. That's that's that's
Speaker 2: the most places, especially an older home.
Speaker 3: How old is his home?
Speaker 13: I don't know.
Speaker 12: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, Martha, I get it. I get what you're saying,
Speaker 2: I really do. But but was it intolerable? I mean,
Speaker 2: what was the temperature downstairs?
Speaker 13: I was cold? I didn't I couldn't. I couldn't stand
Speaker 13: the cold it was. It was the low seventy four
Speaker 13: for sure.
Speaker 2: No, I get it, I get it. So then what happened?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want you. I don't want you
Speaker 2: to think that. I don't want you to think that
Speaker 2: I I don't think you have a case. But in
Speaker 2: some cases like this, it gets to be nitpicking. Could
Speaker 2: be unless it was really untolerable and you don't even
Speaker 2: know what the temperature was, you just know you didn't
Speaker 2: like it. So theoretically, let's just say you wanted it
Speaker 2: way warmer and it would and it would smoke him
Speaker 2: out upstairs. I mean, at some point there's got to
Speaker 2: be a reasonable this, And I'm not suggesting you're unreasonable.
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that at all. So what happened? What's
Speaker 2: the ultimate today? You just did it a few days ago,
Speaker 2: So what's going on?
Speaker 3: Did you move out?
Speaker 15: I did.
Speaker 13: I didn't want to stay there because he made us
Speaker 13: so uncomfortable when he came downstairs and knocked on the
Speaker 13: knocked on the door, and he came in waving his
Speaker 13: hands and goes, I mean here to check the temperature,
Speaker 13: waving his hands around, and he goes, I don't know
Speaker 13: what to tell you. It feels like seventy four and
Speaker 13: hearing it feels it's seventy four upstairs. So if it's
Speaker 13: if it's going to be a problem with the heat,
Speaker 13: it's not going to work.
Speaker 2: Okay, So can okay, are they keeping did you pay
Speaker 2: the whole month up front. I did, okay, Uh, how
Speaker 2: much would you pay.
Speaker 13: Two one hundred plus thirteen hundred dollars deposit?
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, and you paid two thousand, one hundred you.
Speaker 3: Said, yeah, plus a deposit. How much was the deposit?
Speaker 13: A thousand, three hundred?
Speaker 5: Now is he.
Speaker 3: Keeping everything including the deposit?
Speaker 13: They told me that I couldn't get my deposit for
Speaker 13: sixty days?
Speaker 3: Was that in the contract?
Speaker 13: That's what she's saying. Yeah, it's per contract, Martha.
Speaker 2: You're not going to want to hear what I have
Speaker 2: to say. I think you're going to lose it. I
Speaker 2: think you'll lose this case if you try to take
Speaker 2: it to small games court. Maybe you want to try.
Speaker 2: You don't even have any proof what the temperature was.
Speaker 2: Are you out of there now for good?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't mind calling Lisa. I don't mind having one
Speaker 2: of our deputies. I'll have D or Doc. Who wants it?
Speaker 3: I mean, Doc? Do you want to do it?
Speaker 2: Doc? Or what? Yeah?
Speaker 16: I'll I have a question though.
Speaker 17: They're giving her back her twenty one hundred and they're
Speaker 17: going to give her her thirteen hundred.
Speaker 3: No they're not, No, they're not.
Speaker 2: They're going to give her back her deposit of thirteen
Speaker 2: hundred in sixty days, which is reasonable. They want, okay,
Speaker 2: what they do with the twenty one hundred for the rent.
Speaker 2: They're saying, she rented it and she's moving out on
Speaker 2: her own accord. That's what they're saying. She moved in
Speaker 2: two days ago. They're saying, tough, you moved out. We
Speaker 2: didn't kick you out. He just said it's not going
Speaker 2: to work, meaning he's not going to turn up the heat.
Speaker 2: And I kind of don't blame him. I I really
Speaker 2: believe that unless Martha had some temperature readings of some
Speaker 2: kind and some proof. I'm just trying to be honest
Speaker 2: with her, she's going to lose this one. I mean,
Speaker 2: people can easily exist in sixty eight.
Speaker 3: Degrees very comfortably, very very comfortable.
Speaker 16: A space heater, Martha.
Speaker 2: Not even a space heater, I mean, what about a sweater.
Speaker 2: I can't believe, Martha. And again, I'm sorry, I don't
Speaker 2: want you to feel bad, but I can't believe it
Speaker 2: was that bad.
Speaker 3: What did your husband say about it?
Speaker 13: Well, my husband's usually a hot person, and for him
Speaker 13: being hot, and he indicated, yes, it was, it was cooler.
Speaker 2: Than normal than.
Speaker 11: Maybe it was.
Speaker 3: What about a sweater?
Speaker 2: It's a temporary lodging for a month. Am I?
Speaker 3: No, I'm asking for feedback. I'm serious.
Speaker 2: Am I being unreasonable? And I usually ask my morons
Speaker 2: and my texters? Am I being unreasonable? You don't. You
Speaker 2: don't have to uh, you don't have to agree with me.
Speaker 2: I just don't think. I don't think it was worth
Speaker 2: leaving without at least getting some proof. I mean, we're
Speaker 2: talking about you did what was called a constructive eviction.
Speaker 2: You literally left, and now you're going to try to
Speaker 2: get your money back. I'll bet you. In the agreement
Speaker 2: it probably says there are no refunds. I don't know,
Speaker 2: but but Martha did Is was it that bad that
Speaker 2: you had to leave?
Speaker 14: Yes?
Speaker 13: Yes, okay, I'm not going to be treated.
Speaker 2: Like that and treated like what he said. It's really
Speaker 2: hot and I can't turn it up any further.
Speaker 3: It's not going to work.
Speaker 2: I mean when.
Speaker 12: You no, I know that, and I I'm not disputing that.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, let's say you're one hundred correct. Are you
Speaker 2: saying a sweater and maybe some sweatpants couldn't have helped,
Speaker 2: at least temporarily for the month.
Speaker 13: You probably could. Why should I have to change my
Speaker 13: clothes just to be accommodating for myself?
Speaker 3: Thank you, Martha. We'll see it. Take it easy. I
Speaker 3: was gonna call. I'm not even gonna call on this one.
Speaker 2: That's totally in my opinion, that's totally unreasonable. I want opinions,
Speaker 2: give me, give me texts, and give me calls.
Speaker 3: That is totally unreasonable.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, in life, come on, man, in life, there
Speaker 2: are times things are not perfect. There are just times
Speaker 2: things are not perfect, and your ride with it. For
Speaker 2: God's sakes. If you pick battles each and every day
Speaker 2: like this, you're not gonna get through life. Now. If
Speaker 2: it was so terrible and you're like, oh, you're so cold,
Speaker 2: that's one thing, but come on, really, I'm not you know,
Speaker 2: I got people with real problems.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I know I know that that somebody referred it to
Speaker 2: the show, and I should be really nice to her,
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to be nice. But why should I
Speaker 2: put myself out? Why should I wear a sweater? It's
Speaker 2: for a month, and really, am I wrong? Are people
Speaker 2: going to say, hey, you're not a consumer advocate because
Speaker 2: you don't care to each and every desire and whim
Speaker 2: of people who feel entitled to some kind of I mean, really,

Speaker 3: Okay, now, Chris, what's going on? Hi? Chris?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 19: Tom? So, I don't know how much you know about it?
Speaker 19: Are been told, so I'll try and do my bust to.
Speaker 2: Well, it's been summarized a little, A little something about
Speaker 2: your daughter in sports?
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Yeah, So.
Speaker 19: My daughter attends of private school that specializes in learning disabilities.
Speaker 19: She's been there since sixth grade. She's a freshman in
Speaker 19: high school.
Speaker 2: Now does she have learning disabilities?
Speaker 5: She does?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: And when you say a special school, it's not mainstreamed
Speaker 2: with special program like an Individual Edge Occasional program what
Speaker 2: they call an IEP. Or is it a separate school?
Speaker 19: So it's a it's a separate school, So it's not
Speaker 19: it's not affiliated with like Denver Public schools or Terry
Speaker 19: Creek schools. Is it private supper private school?
Speaker 3: Okay? Got it?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 19: And so she's an athlete. She loves sports and a
Speaker 19: few years ago she really in particular got into running
Speaker 19: track and now cross country, and she's probably the most
Speaker 19: disciplined person I've ever met my life, super hard working
Speaker 19: and that has really really paid off, and she's doing
Speaker 19: very very well. At the beginning of her freshman year,
Speaker 19: we looked into, in coordination with the school, trying to
Speaker 19: have her participate at one of her one of the
Speaker 19: public schools, because the school that she attends essentially doesn't
Speaker 19: have a cross country team right now.
Speaker 2: And many times, like I don't know about for private schools,
Speaker 2: but for homeschooling, they allow sometimes those children to participate
Speaker 2: in school sports.
Speaker 19: Yeah, so absolutely so. The current team, the girls team,
Speaker 19: consists of my daughter and another girl who is sporadically
Speaker 19: there because she participates in another sport. So generally when
Speaker 19: my daughter goes to practice, she's just running by herself.
Speaker 5: So she goes, what do you.
Speaker 2: Mean when she goes to practice, is your girl going
Speaker 2: to another school to participate.
Speaker 19: No, So, the school that she's at right now, they
Speaker 19: have a team that participates in two A three A. Well,
Speaker 19: I won't say they have a team. They say they
Speaker 19: have a team that participates in two A and three
Speaker 19: A cross country, but they don't have enough girls to
Speaker 19: actually feel the team. Oh, my daughter just participates individually.
Speaker 19: She goes, so and she's doing very well.
Speaker 2: When you say she participates individually, I'm still confused. Does
Speaker 2: she participate individually at another school or in this school?
Speaker 19: She doesn't. At her school she participates, so her school
Speaker 19: goes to like a larger event. So like last weekend,
Speaker 19: there were like twenty and.
Speaker 2: Your daughter's the only one representing her school.
Speaker 19: So at this particular meet, it was her and the
Speaker 19: other girl who actually who went, So the two of
Speaker 19: them went and represented they and so.
Speaker 2: So you literally have people from all these other schools
Speaker 2: and you have two girls from that school.
Speaker 5: Yes, okay.
Speaker 19: And so in the specific event she ran last weekend,
Speaker 19: she she individually, she won the event, but her she
Speaker 19: doesn't have a team, so the team didn't get points
Speaker 19: to win, but she won individually.
Speaker 5: Is kind of how it goes.
Speaker 19: And there were, you know, around twenty different schools there.
Speaker 19: So we've been back and forth trying to get a
Speaker 19: waiver with chessa a waiver for what for her to
Speaker 19: participate at another school that actually does have a team.
Speaker 19: And the idea is like, really, she just wants to
Speaker 19: meet other girls and she wants to run with other
Speaker 19: girls rather than like running by herself and practice and
Speaker 19: then participating.
Speaker 2: But now when you say a waiver, so you have
Speaker 2: to have a waiver to do it. Let's say they
Speaker 2: did not have a team. Would you be able to
Speaker 2: just have or participate.
Speaker 19: Or not what would normally happen, You would still need
Speaker 19: some sort of waiver. They'd have to allow you to
Speaker 19: do it. So they have I don't know what to.
Speaker 2: Do other kids. Do other kids at private schools have
Speaker 2: such waivers or are you trying to plow new ground.
Speaker 19: So they other kids do get waivers. So if your
Speaker 19: school does not have a specific sport, So for instance,
Speaker 19: if you went to just a Denver public school and
Speaker 19: you wanted to play water polo and your school doesn't
Speaker 19: have a water polo team, but another school somewhere does,
Speaker 19: you could get a waiver to participate at that school.
Speaker 19: Theoretically they could give you that. So the problem that
Speaker 19: we're kind of running into though, is when we reach
Speaker 19: out to Chessa. Chessa then contacts the school my daughter attends,
Speaker 19: and the well my daughter attend says, well, we do
Speaker 19: have a team. But I just it's like I'm hitting
Speaker 19: my head against the wall because I talked to them.
Speaker 19: The athletic director. And I'm like, you don't have a team.
Speaker 19: You have you know, my daughter and a part time girl,
Speaker 19: so you have like one and a half participants.
Speaker 5: And if my daughter wasn't there.
Speaker 2: You who approves this special waiver the school you want
Speaker 2: her to.
Speaker 19: Go to, So Chasa has to get involved.
Speaker 2: And then who is chasa?
Speaker 19: Chassa is the governing body of all Colorado athletics and
Speaker 19: they have all kinds of issues with is.
Speaker 3: That chasaha SSA?
Speaker 19: I think it is. So it's actually a private entity.
Speaker 19: It sounds like it might would be a government entity,
Speaker 19: but it's a private organization.
Speaker 2: I get it. So when you try to process, when
Speaker 2: you try to process a waiver and it do you
Speaker 2: have to as part of the waiver you have to
Speaker 2: declare that they don't have a team at her school. Yes,
Speaker 2: And because the school refuses to acknowledge that, you hit
Speaker 2: a dead end.
Speaker 19: I hit a dead end. And for two reasons this
Speaker 19: she feels crazy. Like Number one, so she's she's attending
Speaker 19: a school specifically because of a learning disability. And you know,
Speaker 19: we've had meetings just in terms of her learning with
Speaker 19: Denver Public schools where Denver Public Schools say yeah, this
Speaker 19: is the best place for her, absolutely, and now she's
Speaker 19: attending a place that's the best place for her does
Speaker 19: not have a full team, and then she's essentially.
Speaker 3: Not I know you're saying.
Speaker 2: You're saying she's being penalized for having disabilities because she's
Speaker 2: forced to go to that school and that school only
Speaker 2: has two girls on the team. What I want to
Speaker 2: know is this, So the requirement is to get on
Speaker 2: another team. Is that the current school she or anyone
Speaker 2: is at must not have a team?
Speaker 3: Is that the rule for everyone?
Speaker 19: So it is the rule for them, but it's a
Speaker 19: little bit more nuanced than that, so they well, but.
Speaker 3: In other words, they're not singling out your daughter.
Speaker 2: They're saying, no matter who applied to us or wanted
Speaker 2: a waiver, if their school has a team, they can't
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 3: So that's a real simple answer, Chris.
Speaker 2: In another situation, not involving your daughter, if there was
Speaker 2: a child who did not want to participate on their
Speaker 2: team and wanted to go to another team, would they
Speaker 2: be allowed if their current school had a team.
Speaker 19: So I'm going to add one thing to that. It's
Speaker 19: it's pretty close to that.
Speaker 2: I know what you're going to add that her school
Speaker 2: doesn't really have a team. But please help me out.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to parse through. This is the reason they're
Speaker 2: giving that she has a team, and that same rule
Speaker 2: would be applied to anyone. Is that's a yes or no?
Speaker 19: It would, But I want to add one. There's a distinct.
Speaker 5: Just go ahead.
Speaker 19: What's the difference in JB and varsity? So if they
Speaker 19: were to still say that they had a junior varsity team,
Speaker 19: then there would be no issue. But because they say
Speaker 19: they have a varsity team, which but they only have,
Speaker 19: you know, two students, which that still doesn't constitute a team.
Speaker 19: And then I'll explain why that doesn't constitute a team
Speaker 19: as well.
Speaker 2: At the school.
Speaker 19: Their size to participate, to have a team, to participate
Speaker 19: and field enough girls for a two A or three
Speaker 19: A school, you have to have five girls. They only
Speaker 19: have two. If it were a larger school, you would
Speaker 19: need seven girls if it were the largest schools. I
Speaker 19: get it to field a team. And so the idea
Speaker 19: that they continue to say that that they have a
Speaker 19: team just but.
Speaker 2: Why are they doing that? It seems to me the
Speaker 2: school I don't think no, no, no, no, I wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 2: we can all agree. No one's going to say no
Speaker 2: one's singling out your daughter saying we're going to make
Speaker 2: it difficult for her, right, I mean, this is just
Speaker 2: red tape?
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 2: It is?
Speaker 19: It is just red tape.
Speaker 2: Okay, So why would the school then insist they have
Speaker 2: a team if there's only one and a half girls.
Speaker 19: The only thing that I could think of is like
Speaker 19: thinking toward the future. If they so, they would have
Speaker 19: to change their their status to like a JV school,
Speaker 19: which a lot of a lot of independent or private
Speaker 19: schools tend to do because they tend to not have
Speaker 19: enough or have a lot of sciences at a high level.
Speaker 19: Why they are you know, sticking to this and like
Speaker 19: I I mean, that's the only thing that I can
Speaker 19: think of that they're looking that, like, oh, in the future,
Speaker 19: perhaps will have enough.
Speaker 3: There are a couple of things. There are a couple
Speaker 3: of ways to tackle this.
Speaker 2: First and foremost, I do believe you have a special case.
Speaker 2: I really believe it, and I really believe it is
Speaker 2: a case for discrimination the fact that she's falling into
Speaker 2: this category. And I also believe Americans with Disabilities Act
Speaker 2: would apply. If you got an attorney to file a lawsuit. Now,
Speaker 2: I hate litigation. I hate the idea, but I do
Speaker 2: believe you would win, okay, because it's a clear distinction,
Speaker 2: and you make the argument, well you're not saying, you know,
Speaker 2: they're calling it a team, but in essence, your daughter
Speaker 2: is being discriminated against because she's with a school. And
Speaker 2: by the way, is the school only for children with disabilities?
Speaker 19: So I want to say anyone theoretically could go there,
Speaker 19: but knowing the school as well, I mean, it is
Speaker 19: really just what is.
Speaker 3: The disability we're talking about?
Speaker 19: With a nonverbal learning disability and then very slow processing
Speaker 19: which has been diagnosed from Are.
Speaker 2: Most of the kids there with disabilities or not?
Speaker 5: Yes? Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Now are there any kids there that don't have learning disabilities?
Speaker 19: So they label a lot of many of the students
Speaker 19: as like twice exceptional where you know, and they're diagnostic
Speaker 19: certain things that they tend to score mo on and
Speaker 19: certain things maybe even exceptionally high on.
Speaker 2: I mean, I got to know, all right, Next question,
Speaker 2: Next next question here, next question? Have you have you
Speaker 2: consulted an attorney for disabilities?
Speaker 19: No?
Speaker 3: Okay, Now there is another way around this.

Speaker 2: twenty two. Hi, Tom Martino, your troubleshooter three oh three
Speaker 2: seven one three talk three oh three seven one three.
Speaker 3: Eight two five five. Okay, Wow, this.
Speaker 2: Is a weird. This is a weird situation, and we're
Speaker 2: gonna have to put this in someone's hands to do
Speaker 2: some investigation.
Speaker 3: Chris. Another way around this.
Speaker 2: There are things where there are individual educational plans where
Speaker 2: people have actually enrolled in one school, but the IEP
Speaker 2: makes it necessary for them to attend most of their classes,
Speaker 2: if not all of them, at another school, but tech
Speaker 2: they're enrolled not in that school.
Speaker 3: Did you ever explore that?
Speaker 19: I have not explored that yet, but I can also
Speaker 19: imagine an issue that extends this a tiny bitch I wish.
Speaker 19: I'm also kind of concerned about SAW. I actually worked
Speaker 19: at another private school, and we've considered my daughter went
Speaker 19: there through fifth grade, and she could possibly go here
Speaker 19: because it does offer like additional services that could help
Speaker 19: support her. But CHESSA has another rule that I we're
Speaker 19: going to try and get over that if a student
Speaker 19: leaves one school, So this year, she participated in a
Speaker 19: cross country if she leaves her school and goes to
Speaker 19: any other school, that she'd have to set out for
Speaker 19: three hundred and sixty five days and not participate in
Speaker 19: that sport, which is another like draconian rule that CHESSA has.
Speaker 3: You know what they're trying You know what they're trying
Speaker 3: to prevent?
Speaker 19: Right, I do? I do know?
Speaker 3: Now tell me what they're trying to prevent them What
Speaker 3: do you think it is?
Speaker 19: They're trying to like creating super teams.
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, You're you're wise. That's exactly they're trying
Speaker 2: to keep people from manipulating so they don't have to move.
Speaker 3: They just have to create a super.
Speaker 19: Team even if they move.
Speaker 2: This rule applause no what I mean is what I
Speaker 2: mean is they're trying to keep that from happening, that
Speaker 2: people could sit where they want, have kids go to
Speaker 2: another school, build.
Speaker 3: A super team.
Speaker 2: They're trying to I understand why they have the rule,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't always apply. I get that, I get that,
Speaker 2: but but really I just don't understand why her current
Speaker 2: school is insisting they have a varsity team when they
Speaker 2: do they.
Speaker 3: Get funding for that? Do they is their funding for that? What?
Speaker 3: What downside would there be for them not.
Speaker 19: Having They have a lot of sports that are purely
Speaker 19: junior varsity, and I don't know if it's a way
Speaker 19: to just like have an additional sport that they list
Speaker 19: of being, you know, we have X amount of varsity sports.
Speaker 19: I really don't know what.
Speaker 2: The well have you ever asked them? Have you ever
Speaker 2: asked them?
Speaker 19: I mean, it seemed like the point that they were
Speaker 19: getting at is they wanted to build a program over
Speaker 19: and have.
Speaker 3: You Okay, but they didn't, but they didn't.
Speaker 2: Have you ever asked them if they would consider dropping
Speaker 2: the varsity designation for track?
Speaker 19: I have and they said, so it's great, it's cross countries.
Speaker 19: This particular thing is cross country.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have and yeah, they're.
Speaker 19: They're not willing to do that. So we've had many
Speaker 19: conversations because I did.
Speaker 2: They say why they are not willing to do it.
Speaker 19: I don't think I have a good reason why.
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to ask that original question again.
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask the original question again.
Speaker 2: Are there other situations where a team where a school
Speaker 2: does have a varsity team, but a player goes elsewhere?
Speaker 19: So No, I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 19: So if they are actually a varsity team, you know,
Speaker 19: say they were a varsity basketball team, the student would
Speaker 19: not be able to get a waiver to go elsewhere.
Speaker 19: The only thing I would imagine, though, like if you
Speaker 19: had only four players on a varsity basketball.
Speaker 2: No, I get it, I get it. There's not enough
Speaker 2: to make there's not enough to make a team. Look
Speaker 2: at you don't have to keep telling me you don't
Speaker 2: consider it a real team. I understand that the question
Speaker 2: I'm asking is not whether it's a real team. But
Speaker 2: if a school declares it has a team, doesn't preclude
Speaker 2: them from playing elsewhere? The answer is yes, it does.
Speaker 2: In fact, I have someone texting me who is part
Speaker 2: of who is part of the Colorado High School activities.
Speaker 2: C it's it's c H SAA. Yes, And they told
Speaker 2: me that this is normal. They don't say it's right,
Speaker 2: they say it's normal. She has a team. She's required
Speaker 2: to play at her team. Now you can get a
Speaker 2: special waiver. But again, when you applied to this waiver,
Speaker 2: did you tell them even though there is a team,
Speaker 2: there is only really one participant.
Speaker 19: Yes, yes, and elected the school. So they contacted the
Speaker 19: school and they talked to the athletic director, and the
Speaker 19: athletic director, you know, reiterates that they have a team.
Speaker 19: So I'm just like going in a circle.
Speaker 2: But does the athletic director say there are five kids
Speaker 2: on the team, one kid, one and a half. What
Speaker 2: does the athletic director say.
Speaker 19: I'm not part of that conversation. I don't know what
Speaker 19: he told them, But in our emails, like I've made
Speaker 19: it clear to the person on Chassa's side that they
Speaker 19: only have two girls on the team.
Speaker 2: I want to recap this for people, and if they
Speaker 2: have suggestions, I want them to text me, and I'm
Speaker 2: recapping it for one of our deputies. I'll probably give
Speaker 2: this a deputy d over here. Here's what it is.
Speaker 2: His daughter has a disability. She goes to a small school.
Speaker 2: There's only two kids that participate in cross country, and
Speaker 2: really only one the other girl comes sometimes. Because of that,
Speaker 2: his daughter cannot participate on another school's team. If they
Speaker 2: did not have a varsity team, she would be able
Speaker 2: to participate, But the coach keeps saying they have a team.
Speaker 3: When they really don't.
Speaker 2: And he would like to socialize his daughter with other
Speaker 2: athletes and get her on a real team. That is okay.
Speaker 2: So I believe that we should talk to the athletic
Speaker 2: director at the school you're at. We should talk to
Speaker 2: the Activities Commission Association.
Speaker 3: We should talk.
Speaker 2: I mean, really, come on, this is just and Americans
Speaker 2: with disabilities. We should probably contact someone, some attorney who
Speaker 2: deals with the Americans. Don't we have an attorney, an
Speaker 2: angel who deals with Americans with disabilities? Maybe just for housing,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but let's try to find one. Please,
Speaker 2: anybody listening, help us out. Chris, I'm gonna put you

Speaker 2: Okay, well we'll look, but it doesn't matter, Richard, we
Speaker 2: can still put someone on it.
Speaker 3: What's going on, man?
Speaker 12: Well, a couple of months ago I bought some tickets
Speaker 12: to a concert, and about a month ago I got
Speaker 12: an email from Ticketmaster and the email basically said your
Speaker 12: your ticket transfer is on the way to tis some
Speaker 12: random name, and so.
Speaker 3: Did you buy them? Did you buy them through ticket Master?
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, yes?
Speaker 12: And so I pulled up my account a ticket Master
Speaker 12: and all six of my tickets support transferred without my
Speaker 12: authorization or or anything. And so I called right away
Speaker 12: and put in.
Speaker 2: A So somebody, somebody, what do they do hack or
Speaker 2: to hack into your account or something?
Speaker 12: I guess so I'm not big.
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you something I don't know. In general,
Speaker 2: when you buy tickets and Ticketmaster, can you have them
Speaker 2: transferred if you want to other people? I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: that must be like a regular thing, right, Yeah, And.
Speaker 12: I'm a little bit older and I'd rarely go to
Speaker 12: any concerts, so I really don't buy anything on Ticketmaster.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, let me ask my I'll ask my girlfriend.
Speaker 2: But in any case, uh, what happened then?
Speaker 12: So anyway, so I called right away and put it
Speaker 12: in a fraud report and they said they'd get back
Speaker 12: to me within three to five days. Ten days later,
Speaker 12: I called and, uh, check them up. I hadn't heard,
Speaker 12: and they told me to wait. So long story short,
Speaker 12: I called a couple of times and both and two
Speaker 12: or three times they told me just to wait and try.
Speaker 12: They'd call me or email me. And then so I
Speaker 12: followed up again today after not hearing from them. It's
Speaker 12: spent about three weeks, and the person on phone today
Speaker 12: said that the case had been closed. Yeah, and so
Speaker 12: I pulled up my account. It's still the same thing.
Speaker 12: They're still transferred to somebody else and nobody ever contacted
Speaker 12: me or any think.
Speaker 2: So okay, here's what I found out for my girlfriend.
Speaker 2: Tickets purchased from Ticketmaster can be transferred to other people.
Speaker 2: And there's two conditions. One you have to have an account.
Speaker 2: Two they have to have an account, they have to
Speaker 2: log in you have to log into your account and
Speaker 2: transfer it.
Speaker 3: That's the only way it can be done.
Speaker 2: So there might be restrictions based on tickets if they're
Speaker 2: really VIP tickets and all that. Who are the tickets for.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's for Alan Jackson and they are premium seats
Speaker 12: for it.
Speaker 2: No premium seats. But it's not like a concert that
Speaker 2: people are dying to go to.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 12: Oh no, I mean it's I don't it's not.
Speaker 2: I mean it's not the same as a tailor swift
Speaker 2: ticket or something. So uh no, okay, So here's the deal.
Speaker 2: Someone hacked into your account. Do you have a two
Speaker 2: party verification or or a second or whatever they call it.
Speaker 2: Do you have where they text or email you?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 12: Not, I don't think so. They when I when I
Speaker 12: call in, they text me.
Speaker 2: But that's wait wait wait when you when you log
Speaker 2: into your account or do you you do log in,
Speaker 2: they don't text you an nothing.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 2: Oh man, we got a problem here. This is happening
Speaker 2: to a lot of people. How the hell did they
Speaker 2: get your log in information?
Speaker 12: I have no idea. And you know important part of
Speaker 12: the problem too, is well, the big problem is the
Speaker 12: fraud department. You know, never contacting me and just close
Speaker 12: the case with doing nothing.
Speaker 19: Is your password for the ticket Master account the same
Speaker 19: password you would use elsewhere?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, who did they the guy that they transferred to,
Speaker 2: the woman who do they transfer to?
Speaker 3: Let's let's try to find this.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've gotten an email address which is b hold
Speaker 12: on No, no.
Speaker 2: No, not on the air.
Speaker 3: We might do it off the air.
Speaker 2: You have somebody's email? Did you email that person?
Speaker 12: No, this is just from the email I got from Ticketmaster.
Speaker 12: It has their name and their email address of.
Speaker 2: The person of the person who now has your tickets.
Speaker 12: Yes, and it's definitely a scam email.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, what is the email? What the hell?

Speaker 12: gmail dot com.
Speaker 2: Did you try emailing it? No, d w C d

Speaker 12: didn't do anything, just closing.
Speaker 2: Well did you call him back and say don't close it?
Speaker 12: Yeah?

Speaker 2: three talks.
Speaker 3: So this scam is really bad, folks, really bad.
Speaker 2: So it is a ticketmaster scam where people are well
Speaker 2: the ticketmaster doesn't perpetrate the scam. But people are hacking
Speaker 2: into accounts and they are stealing the tickets. They're basically
Speaker 2: transferring into a to themselves. Obviously this name isn't real
Speaker 2: jish Lop and the email address is undeliverable, and uh
Speaker 2: so you need what are they call that? I call
Speaker 2: it second party verification, but it's not. It's called I
Speaker 2: don't know, it's called two that's what it is. Two
Speaker 2: factor verification. So when you log into something, they send
Speaker 2: you the OTP or they send you a code or
Speaker 2: a text or an email or something in addition to.
Speaker 3: Just you logging in.
Speaker 2: Now the the the other.
Speaker 3: Thing people are doing.

Speaker 2: I think biometrics should be everything, absolutely everything. A fingerprint,
Speaker 2: I mean, or iris, no one can no one can

Speaker 20: over the road and I would take it out to
Speaker 20: Common City and park it there for it.
Speaker 2: But why why did they Why did they tow it though?
Speaker 2: Did it not have a registration?

Speaker 20: note that we're going to tow this car, and then
Speaker 20: they got to wait three more days before they can
Speaker 20: tow it.
Speaker 2: Well, actually, actually that's that's a new law, and there
Speaker 2: are new restrictions. However, there are exceptions to that law,
Speaker 2: but apparently they didn't apply to you because you won,
Speaker 2: so you took them to small claims court and got
Speaker 2: your money back.

Speaker 2: I think we discovered, as this show often does, we

Speaker 2: up on TV and and I love the their trick.
Speaker 3: They claim, of course they.
Speaker 18: Investigated it and uncovered it and such a game.
Speaker 2: But those who listen to this show hear about things
Speaker 2: weeks and weeks and weeks in advance.
Speaker 3: And one thing I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 2: We discovered a scam, and I looked it up, and
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people complaining about it. Their Ticketmaster
Speaker 2: accounts hacked into and the tickets transferred out.
Speaker 3: What do you do about it?
Speaker 2: He's pretty serious. I don't know what you do about it.
Speaker 2: Who's handling that? Who did we give this to? Bow?
Speaker 3: So bo? Did you get his information? Are you checking
Speaker 3: on it?
Speaker 2: Of course the email that they transferred it to, not
Speaker 2: the email, but the email's undeliverable. A lot of times
Speaker 2: people start a temporary email, so that was a BO.
Speaker 3: He's looking into that.
Speaker 2: And then we had don We want to go back
Speaker 2: to who lives in a town home community and he
Speaker 2: has an issue with an HOA.
Speaker 3: First and foremost, he won.
Speaker 2: He took him to small claims court and won when
Speaker 2: they told him because they didn't toell him, according to
Speaker 2: the new law, they have to give him notice. Now
Speaker 2: that applies all except when you block traffic, or you're
Speaker 2: in a thoroughfare, a right of way, or someone else's
Speaker 2: a spot. There is no they don't have to give
Speaker 2: you warning and all of that. But in his case,
Speaker 2: they definitely had to give him warning and he won.
Speaker 2: So now what continue your story? Don you've lived there
Speaker 2: for nineteen years. They towed your car, oh, eighteen years.
Speaker 2: They towed your car for a flat tire. You won,
Speaker 2: you got six hundred plus. What happened then?
Speaker 20: Okay? So then on that falling by eight months later,
Speaker 20: ten months later, in June or July of twenty ten, ten,
Speaker 20: they took away my parking Wait.
Speaker 2: Wait two thousand wait wait ho ho ho two thousand
Speaker 2: and ten.
Speaker 20: Yeah, this is my car was towed in two thousand
Speaker 20: and nine, and that's what.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, wait a minute, there was wait wait wait,
Speaker 2: hold hold on when you went to small claims court
Speaker 2: it was back in two thousand and nine. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: there was no requirement for warning back then. But I
Speaker 2: don't know how you want. I don't want to I
Speaker 2: don't want to get I don't want to get into it.
Speaker 2: You won, so I okay, So they told your car
Speaker 2: nine they in two thousand and nine. Okay, okay, got it?
Speaker 2: So why are we calling about this now?
Speaker 20: That's well, that's not the problem. What happened after that,
Speaker 20: even with me, They took away the parking spot that
Speaker 20: I hadn't runed in my garage where they towed my
Speaker 20: car from.
Speaker 2: And then and then oh hold on, okay, so the
Speaker 2: HOA took away your your parking spot in what.
Speaker 20: Year in twenty ten.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I don't know where. By the way, people,
Speaker 2: when I tell you, people think chronologically.
Speaker 3: This is a prime example.
Speaker 2: He started out in two thousand and nine, we're now
Speaker 2: in twenty ten.
Speaker 3: So what happened to keep going?
Speaker 20: Okay, so you know, so now my parking spot is probably.
Speaker 2: Why did they wait? Wait, what was the excuse for
Speaker 2: taking your parking space away?
Speaker 20: Okay? So they said I was parking in the filing,
Speaker 20: which this is wonderful because in the same exact tho,
Speaker 20: because the main drag goes right past the end of
Speaker 20: my driveway and the neighbors to the west of me
Speaker 20: can still park art of there.
Speaker 2: Did they give you? Did they give you another parking space?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 20: Over and away over by another hole.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got it, I got it. Okay, so keep going.
Speaker 2: They took away your parking space near near the townhouse, okay,
Speaker 2: and and okay, got it right in my garage.
Speaker 20: And so with doing that, they had to take away
Speaker 20: my neighbors next door to me to the east the
Speaker 20: same way. So we're the only two people out of
Speaker 20: eighty units that can that park them.
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it, I get it. So
Speaker 2: so but keep going, Man, I don't know where we're
Speaker 2: going with this story. This is only twenty ten, and
Speaker 2: we're okay, go ahead.
Speaker 20: Now, I'm getting to it. I'm getting to it.
Speaker 2: Ees, I hope you do. Okay, you sure we don't
Speaker 2: have to go through twenty twelve.
Speaker 3: Okay, keep going.
Speaker 20: No, no, no, no, we're going to jup right to present.
Speaker 20: About six months ago, door Dashin, I met this lady
Speaker 20: who's an arbitrator, and we ended up talking about townhomes,
Speaker 20: about things, and she told me that they're required by
Speaker 20: law if they're going to move parking spots, that they
Speaker 20: have to do a parking study in order to change
Speaker 20: spots in the town home community.
Speaker 2: Okay, don she's wrong. Do that she's wrong? Oh really, yeah,
Speaker 2: but let's let's not go there here. I got another way,
Speaker 2: I got another proposition. Okay, let's assume she was correct. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's assume that in two thoy ten they did not go.
Speaker 3: Through the proper procedure.
Speaker 2: Let's, for argument's sake, let's say that's true. They did
Speaker 2: not do it properly. In twenty ten, you are so
Speaker 2: past the statute of limitations that you could never do
Speaker 2: anything about it ever.
Speaker 20: I mean my parking spots now mine, no matter what,

Speaker 4: The network itself, a cyber criminal group claims that stole
Speaker 4: personal data belonging to more than five hundred million Ticketmaster customers.
Speaker 3: And so that's what happened, bro, Your your account was hacked?

Speaker 2: Byron says, his brother sixty five and uh is not
Speaker 2: taking care of his finances. He's on painkillers. Yes, and
Speaker 2: you think, do you think he's incompetent?
Speaker 5: Well, obviously it's not what most people do. Most people
Speaker 5: open their mail and pay their bills.
Speaker 3: Now, remember does he live alone?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Does he get.
Speaker 3: Dressed in the morning, does he shower, does he groom?
Speaker 3: Does he travel? Does he drive?
Speaker 5: To some extent of course? Yes? Yeah, well so yeah
Speaker 5: he drives. That he probably he should not with the painkillers.
Speaker 2: Without him voluntarily, without him voluntarily allowing.
Speaker 3: You to take over, it's not going.
Speaker 2: To happen without a court of law declaring him incompetent. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: once that happens, he can't live on his own.
Speaker 5: Right. He's actually in rehab right now and he probably
Speaker 5: will not get out of rehab, although he's under the
Speaker 5: delusi that he will. You know, how there's always hope, right,
Speaker 5: How does.
Speaker 3: One stay on pain killers for fourteen years?
Speaker 5: Now forty years?
Speaker 2: Oh? My god?
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, wait, how do you do that without dying?
Speaker 5: Well, that's a good question. I mean we've we've been
Speaker 5: trying to figure this out for years. He's been managing.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know he'll go he's got pain and
Speaker 5: management doctors, and but.
Speaker 2: Usually you build a tolerance and you never ever get relief.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, forty ye? What what doses?
Speaker 5: They change it up?
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if you change it up, even if
Speaker 2: you go from one to another to another. It has
Speaker 2: to be literally more dosage. And then here's what happens.
Speaker 2: There's no secret. You become more sensitized to pain therefore,
Speaker 2: and then less sensitized to the medicine. So you have
Speaker 2: to increase the medicine, and your pain is even more
Speaker 2: than it was in the beginning. And then you keep
Speaker 2: increasing medicine because you don't feel it until your heart stops.
Speaker 2: That ask prince. I mean, you know, it just happens. So,
Speaker 2: so here's what I want to know. What dosage was
Speaker 2: he on right before wehab?
Speaker 5: Oh, morphine? Probably ninety milligrams a day.
Speaker 2: Let's not that's impopp I mean, I can't believe it's
Speaker 2: only ninety milligrams.
Speaker 3: After all, this time.
Speaker 5: Well, and then he's on a dilauded too, he'll.
Speaker 2: Do oh oh my god. So he's stack Okay, that's
Speaker 2: called stacking him. He's stacking him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're stacking him for him.
Speaker 2: Usually that before they kill you at abound. There are
Speaker 2: people that have been gone as high as two hundred,
Speaker 2: two hundred and forty milligrams of something and add it
Speaker 2: up or whatever and then you're dead.
Speaker 5: But man, yeah, I don't so I have no idea
Speaker 5: how I mean, ninety grill milligram sounds like a lot
Speaker 5: to me, but I don't really know him.
Speaker 3: Well, it is a lot, but but to I mean, listen, man,
Speaker 3: it is a lot. But there are people that tolerate it.
Speaker 3: You build it up.
Speaker 5: So no, and I think his he gets hell. So
Speaker 5: he's in the rehab place right now, which basically nursing home,
Speaker 5: and he focuses really on three things. One is his
Speaker 5: pain killers obviously, one is his TV, and the others
Speaker 5: his food and that beyond that.
Speaker 3: Well, those are the three essentials in life. Well that's
Speaker 3: what drugs, television, and food.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, you know I've expanded out to about five
Speaker 5: things in my life.
Speaker 3: But Kate Byron listen, here's what I want to know.
Speaker 2: If you not want to know, I want to tell
Speaker 2: you if you can get the doctor and yourself and
Speaker 2: then some to say he needs art for guardianship. Are
Speaker 2: you ready to take that on man?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I would be happy to do that. My
Speaker 5: sister would be happy to do that too.
Speaker 2: And that's what you need.
Speaker 3: Two family members and a doctor.
Speaker 5: Is that what it is?
Speaker 12: What it is?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 2: Hey, deputy doctor, are you there? I'm here, Tom, Deputy
Speaker 2: Dock in coompetency, right, two family members and a doctor.
Speaker 17: I never dealt with the elderly patients, Tom, most of
Speaker 17: my patients who were under sixty five, so I really
Speaker 17: rarely dealt with incompetent incompetency.
Speaker 16: So I don't know the laws.
Speaker 3: I don't know the.
Speaker 2: Laws, Okay, I just I know from past cases it's
Speaker 2: been a it was something like that. But I'm asking
Speaker 2: my girlfriend declared legally incompetent. Okay, I believe it is
Speaker 2: though two family members and a doctor. And of course
Speaker 2: if there are no family members and then let's see.
Speaker 3: So my girlfriend is saying.
Speaker 2: It involves filing a petition with the courts. Okay, it
Speaker 2: requires exactly what I said two family members and a caregiver,
Speaker 2: or a family member, a caregiver and another party. So
Speaker 2: three parties. You petition the courts.
Speaker 3: That's it. You file a petition and then the courts
Speaker 3: hear it.
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay.
Speaker 2: Sometimes the courts, if the guy protests a lot and
Speaker 2: the court sees it necessary, they may order an independent evaluation.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 2: So it's really.
Speaker 5: If we needed to get that independent evaluation part that
Speaker 5: was part of it, because that could be I don't know,
Speaker 5: it could be complicated and expensive. I don't it could
Speaker 5: be expended. I don't really care about that.
Speaker 2: No, it's not going to be. It's not that. It's
Speaker 2: not that expensive, by the way. Okay, And here's what's
Speaker 2: here's what's crazy. If you do it and take over
Speaker 2: as finances, you can reimburse yourself.
Speaker 3: It's true. And it's not you know you can't. Well
Speaker 3: you're allowed to do that.
Speaker 2: So what what income?
Speaker 5: This is the one that needs to be reimbursed for
Speaker 5: all her time, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: What income does this guy have?
Speaker 5: Oh, very very low, he's got it. He's probably worth
Speaker 5: two million in assets. But it's oh, it's all what.
Speaker 3: Did he do for a what did he do for
Speaker 3: a living, a farmer.
Speaker 2: Okay, jeez, how does a farmer get on pain killers?
Speaker 5: Well, he had some pain when he was young, and
Speaker 5: he had, uh, your broken bone, and and I honestly,
Speaker 5: I can't tell you whether it was justified or not,
Speaker 5: but it is. You know, when you go and ask
Speaker 5: for pain medicine from doctors, especially back in the eighties
Speaker 5: or nineties, you know, there was no real limitation on that.
Speaker 3: I know it. I know it, my god.
Speaker 5: Now it's it's a lot harder. And he keeps, he keeps,
Speaker 5: he keeps worrying that he's going to get his pain.
Speaker 5: Doctors are going to kick him off.
Speaker 2: You know. Here's the thing about. Here's the thing about
Speaker 2: pain meds. Here's the thing about. Have you ever been
Speaker 2: on pain meds? Byron?
Speaker 5: No? Not really?
Speaker 2: I mean right here, here's I don't understand well, and
Speaker 2: I'm talking about like opiates or the like.
Speaker 3: Now here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what it is. But this is a reality.
Speaker 2: Some people can get on pain meds and it.
Speaker 3: Never ever affects them.
Speaker 2: They get off them once they've been on them, they
Speaker 2: get on them six weeks, they have to get off
Speaker 2: they get on, three weeks, they get off, and and
Speaker 2: it's like amazing to me. It just is one of
Speaker 2: those things where people aren't affected. Then there's another group
Speaker 2: of people who take a pain pill and something about
Speaker 2: the way they're wired. It just flips a switch. Well,
Speaker 2: it's not that they get hooked. They want to be hooked.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something. I remember the day,
Speaker 2: many many many years ago, many years ago, this doctor
Speaker 2: when I had that problems way I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: even remember how.
Speaker 3: Old I was.
Speaker 2: I had such back problems and it was like hurting
Speaker 2: me like crazy. Somebody that this doctor prescribed me some
Speaker 2: a painkiller, and I remember the day when I took
Speaker 2: it and my entire world changed. I thought, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I never knew life could be so wonderful. I'm serious.
Speaker 2: That was my first host. So here's what I did.
Speaker 2: When I was running out. I asked my other doctors,
Speaker 2: a really good friend of mine, I say, hey, doc,
Speaker 2: is there a such thing as painkillers being used like
Speaker 2: a maintenance thing for depression or for like like anxious
Speaker 2: and for making your life better? And he said, absolutely
Speaker 2: positively not. And he says, you are wired. And he said,
Speaker 2: if you like it that much. Get off of them.
Speaker 2: It was the wisest thing he ever told me. And
Speaker 2: so I don't. I don't even take them. I mean
Speaker 2: I did when I had surgery, like real quick. But
Speaker 2: I tell those doctors right up front, do not prescribe
Speaker 2: me a painkiller. I tell him it's in my chart,
Speaker 2: and only because it scared the hell out of me.
Speaker 2: So there are your brother, I'll bet you there are
Speaker 2: people that literally get up in the morning thinking about
Speaker 2: when do I take my next dose?
Speaker 3: And I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I have no idea why some people are wired that way?
Speaker 3: Why do you think? I mean, you're not, And he
Speaker 3: is right, that's weird.
Speaker 5: So and my dad was on the same situation. He
Speaker 5: had had back being since he was eleven. It's from
Speaker 5: a car accident, and so he was on killers his
Speaker 5: whole life. And of course they work together, and I,
Speaker 5: you know, maybe he got it from there. I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 5: forward from there.
Speaker 2: I asked. I asked a doctor one time, why are
Speaker 2: some people wired where it just fills in all these gaps?
Speaker 2: I you know, I swear to God, I mean it
Speaker 2: would be like it's a road to nowhere and then
Speaker 2: you die and you know, and I I I wonder
Speaker 2: about that and and people say, well, no, you know,
Speaker 2: addiction is a physical disease and and there's nothing you
Speaker 2: can do about it. And that's bs because it's attitude
Speaker 2: you have. You have to say to yourself, all right,
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it, you know, And that's behavioral. I'm
Speaker 2: not doing it. But you know, if you do do it,
Speaker 2: it feels so good. And it's just crazy. But my
Speaker 2: heart goes out to people when they're hooked on them.
Speaker 2: Over the years, I've talked to many people and I
Speaker 2: don't get all judgmental, but because I know how they feel.
Speaker 2: So anyway, thanks.
Speaker 17: To my brother, he was fifty years old and never
Speaker 17: took a drug in his life, had shows with surgery,
Speaker 17: and after he stopped after three days, he had such
Speaker 17: withdrawal symptoms they had to bring him to the hospital.
Speaker 2: Doc.
Speaker 3: It wasn't even withdrawal, it's a mental thing. It's just this.
Speaker 16: You get physical withdrawal sometimes, well, of course.
Speaker 3: You can, yes, but it takes a long time, doesn't it.
Speaker 16: No, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: It took him.
Speaker 17: He was after for two days and he had only
Speaker 17: been on it for about a week and he went
Speaker 17: into withdrawal.

Speaker 3: Love it? Let's talk to Lauren Lauren? What's happening?
Speaker 14: Hi?
Speaker 2: Hi Lauren? Oh, what's going on?
Speaker 15: I took my Hi, I took my car to a
Speaker 15: Firestone to get an alternator replaced. With my car, they
Speaker 15: had to remove the air conditioning to get the alternator.
Speaker 2: What kind of car is?
Speaker 15: Then that came twenty ten Nissan Morano. Okay, yeah, And
Speaker 15: so I came back that I got an oil change
Speaker 15: that came up, that I had an air conditioning leak.
Speaker 15: So I took it back to Firestone, like, hey, you
Speaker 15: guys are the only ones that touched the air conditioning.
Speaker 15: They're like, oh, it wasn't us. These things just happened.
Speaker 15: I took it to them again, like, look, it was
Speaker 15: working just fine before I brought it to you guys.
Speaker 15: Oh it was just a still.
Speaker 2: How long how long after how long after the service
Speaker 2: did the ac leak show up?
Speaker 15: I would say about a month after. I have multiple sclerosis,
Speaker 15: so I don't drive very often. But that being said,
Speaker 15: I do have a medical condition that I have heat
Speaker 15: in tolerance. I get busy.
Speaker 2: No, I understand that for sure. Yeah, Lauren, where did
Speaker 2: you take it for service?
Speaker 15: Firestone?
Speaker 3: Just a normal Firestone one particular one.
Speaker 15: Uh, it's a Firestone on eightis. And Wadsworth, a friend
Speaker 15: of mine, helped me with the alternator because I'm on
Speaker 15: disability as a fixed in its like well, yeah, like
Speaker 15: I've done business with Firestone. Take it there and so
Speaker 15: I didn't know and.
Speaker 2: They did the alternator. Everything else went well. Right, they
Speaker 2: got the alternator and all of that, right.
Speaker 15: I mean, that's questionable because I was even telling my
Speaker 15: Grappa when I start the car, my car has driven
Speaker 15: really bad ever since they worked on it. I was
Speaker 15: telling my grandpa, like, I recorded a noise it was
Speaker 15: making after I started, and he's like, that's a bad alternator.
Speaker 15: So I just took it back yesterday, like, oh, we
Speaker 15: think the alternator's sad. They kept it all night and
Speaker 15: today they were like, oh, we didn't find anything wrong
Speaker 15: with the alternator, but the sound is gone.
Speaker 2: And when when did they When did they do that alternator?
Speaker 2: Originally that was in June? And was that for Is
Speaker 2: that for a new alternator or just did they fix
Speaker 2: it or what a new alternator? Okay, now right now
Speaker 2: where we sit, what's the problem right now?
Speaker 15: The air conditioning because my air conditioning doesn't work. And
Speaker 15: then I took it back to them like hey, it
Speaker 15: has a leak and you guys touched it, and so
Speaker 15: they drained all the free on like, oh, you can't
Speaker 15: use your air conditioning until you get a six and
Speaker 15: they quoted me like eighteen dollars, but they said.
Speaker 3: It's not but they said it's not their fault.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 15: Yeah, They're like, well, we had to take it out
Speaker 15: in order to get to the alternators, but we didn't
Speaker 15: cause the leak.
Speaker 2: They had to take what but what they had to
Speaker 2: take hold on? What did they have to take out?
Speaker 2: That's the part I'm confused about.
Speaker 15: They had to take the whole air conditioning unit out
Speaker 15: to get to the alternator career.
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound That doesn't sound correct to me. Something
Speaker 2: is missing. I want to get Kevin Colkin on one
Speaker 2: of my auto.
Speaker 3: Experts and Okay, there's.
Speaker 2: An expression, and I want you to take this the
Speaker 2: right way, Lauren. There's an expression in the car in
Speaker 2: the car business, it is once you touch the car,
Speaker 2: you own it.
Speaker 3: Now, what they mean by that is when someone.
Speaker 2: Works on a car and they're blamed for everything that
Speaker 2: goes wrong with it afterwards. Now I'm not saying they
Speaker 2: shouldn't be blamed. I'm just saying it's common and I
Speaker 2: just want we have to make a connection here. Now,
Speaker 2: how many miles on this car?
Speaker 15: About one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's something else I need to tell you. And
Speaker 2: the reason I'm telling you all of this is is
Speaker 2: kind of a dose of reality.
Speaker 3: So we don't go nuts.
Speaker 2: Let's say, for argument's sake, they broke the AC.
Speaker 3: Now, one can make the argument.
Speaker 2: The AC was fourteen years old, and it was. It
Speaker 2: has one hundred and twenty five thousand miles on it,
Speaker 2: so the AC may not have been one hundred percent
Speaker 2: perfect to begin with.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna I'm.
Speaker 5: Just an old car.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I'm gonna brace you for this.
Speaker 2: Let's say they're one hundred percent responsible and they broke it.
Speaker 2: They still may not be responsible to pay one hundred
Speaker 2: percent of the repair. Now, I'm not saying they shouldn't help.
Speaker 2: If they caused it, they should pay for whatever damages
Speaker 2: they caused. So let's say, on a twenty ten with
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five thousand miles, they ruined your AC.
Speaker 2: They certainly don't have to make that AC like new.
Speaker 2: They have to make it like it was, and that's
Speaker 2: impossible to do. So if you this is crazy and
Speaker 2: people hate hearing it, But if you had that rebuilt
Speaker 2: or replaced with a new one, you may have to
Speaker 2: chip in for that along with them, if they were
Speaker 2: one hundred percent at fault.
Speaker 3: Does that make sense to you?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it's it's It's the same way as if
Speaker 2: you were in an accident in that car and somebody
Speaker 2: destroyed it.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't have to buy you a new car.
Speaker 2: They only have to get you a car comparable to
Speaker 2: the one that was destroyed.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm not even sure they broke it.
Speaker 2: They may have. I'm gonna ask Kevin about that. Right

Speaker 3: Welcome to the only show that it's kind of anywhere, Dave.
Speaker 2: How do we help you? Sir?
Speaker 14: It's Martino. Hey, I called you yesterday and you answered
Speaker 14: my question insurance. That's what I want to do. I
Speaker 14: want to gift my car to my mother. She doesn't
Speaker 14: live in Danversits and Clublow. So I called my insurance
Speaker 14: company see if I could add her on my pology
Speaker 14: and they said no, if she is there different she
Speaker 14: don't live up my address. That's all right, I'm fine,
Speaker 14: Jack are getting non owners that's only liability. They won't
Speaker 14: cover my damage on my car.
Speaker 2: Or wait now, wait a minute, wait a minute, what
Speaker 2: are you trying to accomplish? I got to get to
Speaker 2: that first. What are you trying to accomplish, Dave?
Speaker 14: Well, like I said, I'm gonna give her the gift
Speaker 14: for the car in place for her. I have so
Speaker 14: many cars.
Speaker 2: Right when you gift her this car, why can't she
Speaker 2: just buy her own insurance?
Speaker 14: Okay, that's the question. She's going to check into that.
Speaker 14: But I owe money to a bank still on the car,
Speaker 14: I got food coverage on it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're gonna you're you're required. You're required to
Speaker 2: have collision coverage and you can't gift the car. If
Speaker 2: you do, they can call the note do off. So
Speaker 2: what here's what you do? If you can add her
Speaker 2: to your policy, she doesn't have to live with you
Speaker 2: if it's her car, not her car like you can.
Speaker 2: You can switch the title of the car, but you're
Speaker 2: still responsible for the loan. Let me get compass insurance
Speaker 2: on Okay, you know what, why don't you hold on?
Speaker 2: Let's get Compass insurance on the line, Kachina Compass insurance?
Speaker 3: Thank you? Uh Savannah has a question.
Speaker 2: We get quite a bit now with the new mailers
Speaker 2: going out from Excel Energy and uh Savannah, welcome.
Speaker 3: What do you need to know about?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 20: Yeah, so I.
Speaker 9: Got one of those mailers that you've been talking about
Speaker 9: for ten percent off your electricity if you sign up
Speaker 9: for the solar farm thing.
Speaker 15: Right, But Excel does not.
Speaker 9: I don't pay Excel for my electricity bill, so I just.
Speaker 7: Don't know how.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, who do you want that benefitness? Who do
Speaker 2: you fort Collins? Well then it won't benefit you. I
Speaker 2: don't see how it can. What do you mean the
Speaker 2: city of Fort Collins. I didn't know that. What what
Speaker 2: are the people in Fort Collins? They pay the city?
Speaker 9: Yeah, we pay the city for electricity and water. We
Speaker 9: only pay Excel for our gap.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it wouldn't work. You just got that in error.
Speaker 2: But the electricity, how do they parse that out? And
Speaker 2: for Fort Collins? Are they reselling? What are they doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I just get a bill from the city for water
Speaker 9: and electric I'm not sure how they We have a.
Speaker 2: Meter and the city reads your meter. Yes, yes, I
Speaker 2: must be. It must be some kind of a co op.
Speaker 2: I've never heard of that. I mean, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: By the way, it hasn't been going on a long time.
Speaker 2: I've been in Colorado nearly fifty years. I mean, has
Speaker 2: it been going on along ever since?
Speaker 9: I've ever since I've been on my own in the
Speaker 9: city of Fort Collins. We've always paid the City of
Speaker 9: Fort Collins for our electric and water.
Speaker 2: Interesting, it's interesting. Okay, well, no you can't. Obviously, it
Speaker 2: has to be someone who gets electricity from Excel and
Speaker 2: then you sign onto this co op and then you
Speaker 2: get the bill a bill from the co op, and
Speaker 2: then you get a lower bill from Excel, and supposedly
Speaker 2: the two added together give you at least ten percent reduction,
Speaker 2: sometimes more so because you're taking part.
Speaker 9: I thought it was weird. I even got the letter,
Speaker 9: so do I.
Speaker 2: But you know why, because you are a customer. You're
Speaker 2: just a gas customer. But I just think there's probably
Speaker 2: no way for them to know, or they they just
Speaker 2: sent it out to all of their customers.
Speaker 3: Savannah, that's interesting. So anyone else.
Speaker 2: If you got that and you only get gased from Excel,
Speaker 2: obviously you're not going to get a rebate on your
Speaker 2: UH on.
Speaker 3: Your electric all right?
Speaker 2: So do how how is getting thank you? How is
Speaker 2: getting compassed? Did we get Compass on or not? Thank you?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 17: Kachina, Hey, Tom, I did that with my son. I
Speaker 17: just listened to him as a driver, and I kept
Speaker 17: it with the car in my name and.
Speaker 16: He has it.
Speaker 2: Okay. I mean when you you ensure it in everything, right.
Speaker 17: I just kept it in my name, put him as
Speaker 17: a driver, and nothing changed.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well let's figure that out. I'm going to ask
Speaker 2: Compass to be sure. But I believe you.
Speaker 16: I did the Compass because then I you know.
Speaker 2: I get well, you know what then, Dave, have you
Speaker 2: thought about that? Dave, let's bring him back. According to
Speaker 2: deputy Doc who checked with Compass already, he just named
Speaker 2: him as a driver on the policy. Why wouldn't they
Speaker 2: let you do that?
Speaker 14: Because I tried to be mister a good guy and
Speaker 14: I called him first and see it, and they had
Speaker 14: me on recorded line. They said, no, no, the car
Speaker 14: has to be in Denver, in your garage, in.
Speaker 5: Your possession, not in Pleblo.
Speaker 14: She's used it over there and gets an accident, we
Speaker 14: will not cover that car.
Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, I don't know if you added
Speaker 2: her as a driver. They said they won't cover it
Speaker 2: if she lives in another household. Right right, all right,
Speaker 2: Brian Burns Compass Insurance, let's bring him up. Brian, you there, Brian,
Speaker 2: I'm here here, all right. So Dave has a car
Speaker 2: that's financed, so obviously it's financed. He must carry collision
Speaker 2: and he wants to give the car to his mother
Speaker 2: if he can, or at least accomplish it so she
Speaker 2: can drive it all the time and be on the insurance. Now,
Speaker 2: his insurance company told him he can't do that if
Speaker 2: she lives in another household.
Speaker 3: That's not true.
Speaker 5: Is it so?
Speaker 21: Because he tried to list her as an as a
Speaker 21: operator on the.
Speaker 2: Pall that yes, exactly exactly.
Speaker 21: It's surprising me they even asked the question, because if
Speaker 21: if you were to call me and to say I
Speaker 21: need to add an operator on the policy, I would
Speaker 21: just I would add the operator period. Uh So I
Speaker 21: wouldn't really have to get into the detail about address.
Speaker 21: I assume she's in the same Saint.
Speaker 15: Though she.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's did you say, no, she's in She's in Pueblo, Colorado.
Speaker 3: He's in Denver area. I think.
Speaker 21: Okay, yeah, so you're still still in Colorado. So that's
Speaker 21: that's the more important part to me.
Speaker 2: Who's your car? Who's your carrier?
Speaker 5: Dave safe.
Speaker 2: Brian Okay, why would safe code not let him put
Speaker 2: his mother on that car?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 2: They said you have to have the car at your house, right, Dave?
Speaker 20: Right, what you can on policy?
Speaker 21: You can change the garaging zip code to wherever it
Speaker 21: truly is, So that would be another option.
Speaker 2: Now, why why do they care about the garage? Why
Speaker 2: do they care about the garaging zip code?
Speaker 21: As you Well, for a factor of reasons. Let's just
Speaker 21: talk about the physical damage portion, like let's say comprehensive
Speaker 21: if you're in an area that's more prone to hall.
Speaker 21: The rating factors are different in one place over another,
Speaker 21: if there's a higher proportion of accidents in a certain area,
Speaker 21: or theft rate if you're in one.
Speaker 2: Okay, so he ought to have it better. He ought
Speaker 2: to have it better in Pueblo.
Speaker 21: I would sure think so. I think Pueblo would be
Speaker 21: a lesser rate.
Speaker 2: So, Dave, you so, what do you actually say to SAFECode?
Speaker 2: Who is your agent? Dave?
Speaker 11: You're not talk to Jasker?
Speaker 14: And they told me you can't do it and make.
Speaker 2: It Dave, Dave, you don't, Dave, who do you go? Dave?
Speaker 2: Who do you go to? The buy insurance?
Speaker 14: I'm a guy that sold it for me to dam
Speaker 14: wrote it up and I took them and I paid
Speaker 14: every month on a credit card.
Speaker 5: I That's all I do.
Speaker 2: But who is Okay, yeah, co is my insurance? I
Speaker 2: understand that. But you have an agent?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 7: Not me?
Speaker 2: I just call and connected Brian, Let me, Brian, let
Speaker 2: me ask you. Just just hold on, Dave. I'm going
Speaker 2: to help you out here. How do you become his
Speaker 2: agent of record?
Speaker 21: He had to sign a broker of record, but it
Speaker 21: wouldn't take place until renewals, so it really wouldn't help
Speaker 21: him in the immediate you know, because they really don't
Speaker 21: change that over until renewal. But he, I mean, he
Speaker 21: should have someone. I wouldn't talk to an adjuster. I
Speaker 21: would know Paul whoever he usually calls. He says, I
Speaker 21: need to add an operator on my policy.
Speaker 2: Like like, like, who do you call to change things
Speaker 2: on your policy? Who do you call? Do you have
Speaker 2: an agent?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 9: Now trying?
Speaker 14: I call Safe and it connected me to the same
Speaker 14: lady that she I guess she's the only one that
Speaker 14: works here. She goes, I talked to you earlier, sir,
Speaker 14: and you want to record a line I answer your
Speaker 14: question before.
Speaker 3: This is so ridiculous.
Speaker 21: Come on, Brian, he's to change insurance, give me a call.
Speaker 21: Let's just get you somewhere else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, do you realize it doesn't cost you
Speaker 2: anything to change insurance, Dave, you might be able to
Speaker 2: get a better rate.
Speaker 3: Now you did add that one. Not at fault accident, right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 14: I call Progressive and they changed it. You sent me
Speaker 14: a letter and it said the end of the stake cold,
Speaker 14: you're not at fault.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, who are you insured by safe COO
Speaker 2: or Progressive?
Speaker 14: I was Progressive and I got in an accident in
Speaker 14: October at twenty two, but.
Speaker 3: It was a not at fault accident, right.
Speaker 21: Yes, rights, it provided a letter that said it was
Speaker 21: not at fault.
Speaker 2: That's common. And then you switched. You switched to safe
Speaker 2: Coe is that right?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 14: Reading I did that because Progressive that lady only had
Speaker 14: twenty five grand. I went after my insurance, com Me Propresso,
Speaker 14: and they paid out like one hundred grand. I didn't
Speaker 14: think they're too happy.
Speaker 2: Hey, if you use Brian, if you use your under
Speaker 2: insured motorist coverage, are you dinged for that?
Speaker 21: It's a not at fault just like he said, it's
Speaker 21: a not at fault act and you're still looked at.
Speaker 21: They still see it, but it's it's not a chargeable.
Speaker 2: So, Dave, so you're right now with Safeco you ought
Speaker 2: to switch. Let Brian find you a carrier. I'll bet
Speaker 2: you you'll save money and you'll get this taken care
Speaker 2: of with your mom.
Speaker 14: Okay, okay, I'm driving right now a company truck. Can
Speaker 14: I just give him my number? Or off the air?
Speaker 2: Yeah, off the air, you can off the air and
Speaker 2: they'll call you. But it's going to be easy for
Speaker 2: you to remember too. It's three oh three nine nine
Speaker 2: six nine thousand. But hold on, Kitchina, get Dave's number
Speaker 2: and give it to Brian. Brian, really, I think you
Speaker 2: ought to take care of me's being jerked around. I

Speaker 22: When I was doing that thing the other day, he's
Speaker 22: I told him, you're in violation of the Contractor Trust

Speaker 22: dollars back. And then I asked, do you actually have
Speaker 22: a brick and mortar store brick and mortar or are
Speaker 22: you working out of your house?
Speaker 16: Then he hung up on me.
Speaker 22: Then I called back, left a couple of messages. So Carol,
Speaker 22: I wanted to tell you this. You don't want this
Speaker 22: guy doing your job, and he's using an excuse why
Speaker 22: he won't do your job because you don't have their

Speaker 2: Just fill it up. And now his email we have
Speaker 2: for you to send emails to him. It is Patriot
Speaker 2: Remodeling Services LC at gmail dot com. Tell them what
Speaker 2: you think if I'm taking sixty two thousand dollars from
Speaker 2: a woman and doing no work. Patriot Remodeling Services LLC
Speaker 2: at gmail dot com. Now, let me explain something to
Speaker 2: his attorney, who will no doubt be reviewing this. If
Speaker 2: he can scrape together the money, well, he has sixty
Speaker 2: grand her money. So here's what I'm going to say
Speaker 2: to mister attorney. I know, I know, I know you're
Speaker 2: going to try to come after me and and blah
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. I've eaten you up and spit
Speaker 2: you out several times before. Now here's why I don't lie.
Speaker 2: We take in information, We call people to allow them
Speaker 2: to come on the air.
Speaker 3: We give our opinions. Here's my opinion.
Speaker 2: If you take sixty two grand up front and do
Speaker 2: no work, you're a crook my opinion. According to the
Speaker 2: Contractors Trust Act, that money's supposed to be put in
Speaker 2: trust for that job.
Speaker 3: Did he do that? Doubt it?
Speaker 2: And also she bought the materials herself, and he claimed
Speaker 2: to have materials.
Speaker 3: Expense.
Speaker 2: But here's the deal.
Speaker 3: I doubt he's followed.
Speaker 2: The Contractor's Trust Act. In fact, we can't find much
Speaker 2: licensing on him. And we found a number of different
Speaker 2: business names. So if you want to represent him, that's fine, okay,
Speaker 2: because I would love to go into the discovery and
Speaker 2: get into his bank accounts and how many times he's
Speaker 2: taken money down, and how many times he's opened up
Speaker 2: trust accounts, and how many times this has happened.
Speaker 3: So, mister attorney, bring.
Speaker 2: It three oho three, seven to one three talks seven
Speaker 2: one three eight two five five. It's interesting to note
Speaker 2: I have never once lost a case, not once. We
Speaker 2: fight for you people, because people like this should not
Speaker 2: be allowed to exist.
Speaker 3: I've been yelling that song for more than forty five years.
Speaker 2: I say forty five years. That's Denver. I was in
Speaker 2: business for about five or six years before Denver, rapidly
Speaker 2: moving until I ended up here and then I didn't
Speaker 2: move anymore. If you want to know my life story,
Speaker 2: it is coming to a theater near you, probably on
Speaker 2: Netflix as well.
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding a.
Speaker 16: Lot of people don't like horror movies.
Speaker 5: Tom.
Speaker 2: Oh Man anyway, So anyway, here's the deal. If you
Speaker 2: have a problem, question or complain, give us a call
Speaker 2: and we'll go after them. Okay, we got more coming
Speaker 2: up on the Troubleshooter show, and I like to say this.
Speaker 2: We will do what it takes. We'll do what it
Speaker 2: takes to make you hole. Now, renew Home Innovations does

Speaker 2: But man, what a day, What a day. I want
Speaker 2: to remind people also that we've had a number of
Speaker 2: different sleeze buckets that we talked to today, that other
Speaker 2: one who sold the boat to that guy mcintree.
Speaker 3: Is it from what are the.
Speaker 10: And yes, Adam, yes, Adam.
Speaker 2: So mckintree sells a boat and then says, you know,
Speaker 2: when we got him on the air, Oh yeah, we're
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna just call it good. Or the wife said,
Speaker 2: we're going to call it good and we're going to
Speaker 2: let him have the title and he doesn't have to
Speaker 2: pay the balance too, because the boat was not as
Speaker 2: represented according to the buyer. Unfortunately, he did buy it
Speaker 2: as is. They did promise to just walk away from it,
Speaker 2: but now they say, no, we're going to see how
Speaker 2: this goes in small claims court. They're just being jerks.
Speaker 2: They're just being jerks, and so you know, here's the deal.

Speaker 2: she didn't have all theorization. So we have so many
Speaker 2: cases that we handle on the on the air, and
Speaker 2: don't forget like just just some of these the things
Speaker 2: we find out, like the Ticketmaster thing, we talked about
Speaker 2: this breach five million accounts or how many accounts, it's
Speaker 2: like five million accounts were breached and people are transferring
Speaker 2: tickets out of your name into someone else's name. If
Speaker 2: you got a good concert, you got to watch out
Speaker 2: for that. I would suggest you change your account right now,
