Yeah, so 19 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.120 the guy buys a vehicle. Yeah, listen to this. Listen. 20 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.599 Jfr Cars is in the house with us. Rodney. Of 21 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.079 course we got Jeff vic I was thinking Tom was 22 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.200 going to start, so I literally have nothing up on 23 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.439 my screen. Jeff Vick, kimmera transmission, and then our leasing 24 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:32.400 expert we have in studio two, and I apologize, man, 25 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.040 I don't have my cheat sheets. Bob, Bob, Bob Perry 26 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.280 correct yep, And Bob, who are you with? I mean 27 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.239 really yourself? Right now? 28 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:41.359 I'm with JFR Cars. 29 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.959 All Oh, you're with JFR. Okay, I probably asked you 30 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.359 that ten times, but very cool. Perfect. So we got Bob, 31 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.040 the leasing guy, Rod Greer, Kevin Kulkin. 32 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:51.239 Jeff Vick. 33 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.959 So this guy buys a vehicle eighteen miles on it. 34 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.480 I want to know this from JFR Cars right now. 35 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.560 I really want an honest opinion. They buy, they pick 36 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.719 it up cold day. This was like January fifteenth, cold 37 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.840 as hell, turns it on, picks it up from the dealership. 38 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.400 I think it's Mike Shaw'll verify that drives away, cannot 39 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.080 get it to blow heat no matter what, no heat whatsoever, 40 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.560 drives it right back. So he drives nine miles away, 41 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.719 lets it warm up, no heat drives it back. They 42 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.199 have it for a week or so. They tell him 43 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.039 it needs a cooling flush, so they go ahead and 44 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.000 do a cooling flush. He comes, picks it up, leaves 45 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.000 same exact thing. No heat. They tell him it needs 46 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.319 a heater core, and I don't think they did the 47 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.879 heater core. They wanted the charge him for the heater core. 48 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.639 He's sick and tired of him. He brings it somewhere else. 49 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.080 Well, that was after two months. 50 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.639 That was after two months, you're right, Kevin. And then 51 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.120 so here's what we find out. It needs an engine. 52 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.759 The whole thing needs an engine. It's either got a 53 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.120 cracked head or needs a head gas hit. It needs 54 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:56.919 an engine. 55 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.800 Well loaded with stoplingk And when they. 56 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.759 Were putting the coolant flush in it, we started putting, 57 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.759 you know, two and two together. Whether or not this 58 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.759 is true or not, we don't know. But the mechanic 59 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.879 that actually looked at it, who we trusted at this 60 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.800 point in a real shot, said hey, this head has 61 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.439 been off real recently. And I talked to Kevin yesterday 62 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.960 and he's like, yeah, you can you can tell by 63 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.360 looking at this that the head was off by you know, 64 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.520 where the dirt is, where the grime is. This had 65 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.080 has recently been off, and there was stop leak everywhere 66 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:32.400 in the system. So the guy bought a car Okay, 67 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.919 a used car granted a used car for twenty four 68 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.120 thousand dollars twenty seventeen. Jeep Wrangler bought that car, got 69 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.080 zero use out of it, and now what they're telling 70 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.639 them is too bad, so sad, we're not going to 71 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.000 do a damn thing. An engine or a head job 72 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.680 is going to be five six grand. So I'm just curious. 73 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.319 JFR Cars, how would you guys handle that? How would 74 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.400 you handle that? Literally, you sold it needing an engine? 75 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.439 We probably get close them. 76 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.919 I know it needed an engine, though, did they know 77 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:05.120 it needed an engine? 78 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.560 Well, I don't know if they know, Tom, But who cares? 79 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.080 It needed an engine. 80 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.280 And it's still in a warranty. 81 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.599 Okaytry warranty. No, there's no warranty at all. 82 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:13.479 Warranty at all. 83 00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:13.840 Okay. 84 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.240 I'm not saying they did anything illegal. I'm saying these guys, 85 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.920 in my opinion, it's the most immoral thing I've heard 86 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.600 in a while. The guy had nine miles on it, 87 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.360 no heat, They had it for eight or twelve weeks, 88 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.000 whatever the amount of time was, and they find out 89 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.720 it needs a complete engine. And he literally bought it 90 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.720 that day for twenty four thousand bucks and they won't 91 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.560 do a damn thing about it. Wow, So what do 92 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.959 you think, Tom? 93 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.279 I don't know, man, I think that obviously something has 94 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.360 to be done. I don't know. What do you well, 95 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.959 what do you think jefr Cars you sell cars riding? 96 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:51.560 What do you think? 97 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:58.079 Well, I guess we would have yet, we would have 98 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.480 definitely did the inspect and before it's before we sent 99 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.319 it out first of all. But we've never I've never 100 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.000 been in a situation where we've left a client hanging 101 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.160 without any kind of answers and avoiding. 102 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.480 Their answer is at six grand to fix it? 103 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:16.519 Well, that's not the answer I'm thinking. 104 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.639 I'm thinking we would, you know, do something to compensate 105 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:20.720 and maybe help them out. 106 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.000 Here's what I'm thinking. Even if they did, I don't 107 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.560 need What do you think you guys, Kevin Jeff repair 108 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.360 shops here, just off the top of your head, to 109 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:34.519 fix that at cost? At cost three grand? Two grand? 110 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.759 You're talking what head? Gasket machine shop? Who knows if 111 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:38.519 there's salve. 112 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.800 There, worst case snary you replace the head. So at 113 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.600 costs you're probably about three grand. 114 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.600 So grand with heads. So if they if they threw 115 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.120 in the labor, did the heads for three grand I 116 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.360 think that would be fair. And I'll tell you why, Tom, 117 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.000 Because he's got a rebuilt engine at that point, right the. 118 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.360 Upper end anyway, Yeah, the upper answer. 119 00:05:57.399 --> 00:05:59.079 And he should be able to get a lot of 120 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.199 time off that compared to what he could have had. 121 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:01.600 Yep. 122 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:03.360 Yeah. 123 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:06.759 Now in any case, are they willing to do anything? 124 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.480 Mark? No, apparently they're not. But we have a deputy 125 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.720 on it. I forget who I assigned it to right now, 126 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.360 but we have someone working with them. But I just 127 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.279 can't believe it. I mean, they literally sold them a vehicle. 128 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.759 In fact, I'll say in my opinion, but honest to God, 129 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.759 I mean I can't believe he could have overheated it 130 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.480 in nine miles. I don't think he could have caused 131 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.000 a head gasket problem in nine miles leaving the dealership, 132 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.360 and then to find out they put stop leak in it, 133 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.959 or somebody put stop leak in it, and then to 134 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.600 find out they pulled the head after having it eight weeks. 135 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.120 All right, unconscient, Now go down. 136 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.319 I don't want to. I don't want to start a 137 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.240 fight with Mark, but I want to say something, and 138 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.639 and honest to goodness, I truly feel the elections went 139 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.639 the way they should have and all of that. 140 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.360 But I had Liberal Times coming out. 141 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.439 Oh it is not liberal, Tom, But listen, you do 142 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.959 a news conference about a tragic air collision in Washington, 143 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:06.319 d C. 144 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:06.839 YEP. 145 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:13.040 I watched it, okay, and Trump's entire speech was about 146 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.759 DEI Now, I do believe, I want to say this, 147 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.040 I do believe diversity, equity and inclusion policies can be 148 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.079 destructive and stupid and all of that. But to make 149 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.720 the entire conference about that almost as if he was 150 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.560 assuming he did it those in the traffic control and 151 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.680 Mark really, honest to God, I'm not trying to get political. 152 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:35.720 I'm not saying I'm liberal. 153 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:36.040 I'm not. 154 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.120 I'm really not liberal. Okay. But at the same time, 155 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.920 I mean, my God in Heaven, before anything is known, 156 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.279 he's blaming. And he literally starts naming things that he 157 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.639 thinks is to blame, and and I mean it to me, well, 158 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.680 I mean he talked about hold on, he talks about okay, 159 00:07:55.720 --> 00:08:01.879 this includes hearing vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, 160 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:07.199 severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarf ism. He threw 161 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.639 the poor dwarfs in with him. I mean, come on, 162 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.199 Dwarfs are completely one hundred percent find people, except they're small. 163 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.959 I mean, I don't understand, Mark, did you come on, 164 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.040 did you cringe a little when you heard it? 165 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:23.319 Not at all? So a couple things one to think 166 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.959 he doesn't have more information than we do about this incident. 167 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.000 Get those damn dwarfs out of the contra. 168 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.279 Absolutely. Do you even know why he was talking about 169 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.360 dwarfs because that was part of the DEI hiring. In 170 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.480 other words, if you didn't fall into those categories, like 171 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.440 the thousand white men that didn't get jobs at the 172 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.559 FAA under the Biden administration, they were turned away because 173 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.200 of their race. Now, hold on, hold on, And that 174 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.440 tower had nineteen people in it and it should be 175 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.200 staffed at thirty. But because the people didn't fit into 176 00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:01.080 the box that Brandon basically had, wasn't enough people to 177 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:01.559 work it. 178 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.320 Okay, now I can get I can grant you that. 179 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.960 And under no circumstances do I want people saying, oh, Tom, 180 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.799 you know, he's just saying, you know what's wrong with diversity, 181 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.559 equity inclusion. What I'm saying is this, I just thought 182 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.960 it was truly inappropriate. Now that might be a reason 183 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.279 for all of our deficiencies. And I do believe in 184 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.360 merit based I do believe in it. I honest to god, 185 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.960 I do. And he was saying, if you heard him, 186 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.519 you know, we should it should be color blind, it 187 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:36.600 should be ability blind, it should be merit based. I 188 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:43.159 totally agree. And I do agree that going outside and 189 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:47.279 literally turning down clients in order to bring in someone 190 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.840 less qualified because they fit in a box. And I 191 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.480 don't mean that against ors, but what I meant was 192 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.120 it it is not a good thing. And again I 193 00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.279 joke about dwarfism, but truly I've known many, honest God, 194 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.200 I have. My wife wrote a book about it because 195 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:05.159 she she worked with them. And let me just say something, 196 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.840 it just seemed weird to me. Now, now, come on, 197 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.559 no matter who you are, you had to have thought 198 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.440 it was a little weird. But I don't want to 199 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:14.480 all I want. 200 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:18.159 He was reading, He was literally reading from the the 201 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.799 Obama Biden agenda and who they would hire. That's why 202 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:22.559 it was in there. 203 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:23.679 Said something. 204 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.200 Now it is, but listen, walk you know, I'm pro Trump, 205 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.240 as you know, but I think after something like that, 206 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:36.000 it's more important for the president to come out with 207 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.320 a message of condolences. 208 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.840 And leave the blame. He did all that, Doc, he 209 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:42.480 did all that. 210 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.080 Denny did know. There's no reason to leave the blame. 211 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.919 I totally disagree with you. I'm glad you feel that way, 212 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.240 though I'm happy for you. Hold on a second, I'm 213 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.840 not he did come out and say all that. I 214 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.639 just think he concentrated too much on DEI and. 215 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:02.919 Railed high country. What a problem it is, But it 216 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.039 may not have anything to do with this incident. And 217 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:06.120 I don't think just. 218 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.639 The fact there was only nineteen people. Instead of having 219 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.120 one for the helicopters and one from the airplanes, it 220 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.080 was one guy doing the job of two and they 221 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.519 turned away. And there's a class action lawsuit against the 222 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.399 federal government, the FAA right now from numerous people that 223 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.039 couldn't get hired because they were white. 224 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.480 Now, I really want to do something. I want to 225 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.679 take a break, but I want to ask sus. No, 226 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:37.360 I'm serious, I'm gonna ask sus sus not talking politically, 227 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.039 did you think that speech was a little off base, 228 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.200 concentrating on DEI? I mean, you know, and she's not 229 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.799 going to agree with Mark just to agree with him, 230 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.200 so if she does, I'll take that as an observation. 231 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.159 What do you think, Tom, I just absolutely love how 232 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.639 transparent Trump has been since he's been in office. So 233 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.240 I thought he did a fine job. But that's just me. 234 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.480 Yeah, when's the last time Biden came out? Now he's gone. Now, 235 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.840 you know many times he would have talked about something 236 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.279 like that, not once. Now that we have a president 237 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.720 that comes out, you might not like what he says, 238 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.399 but god dang it, you know what's going on in 239 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:16.039 the country. You know who's leading it. You know the 240 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.840 vision he has. It's not some secretive black ops operation 241 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.039 and the god dang White House. 242 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:24.200 Yeah. 243 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.519 Hey, by the way, did anyone notice he got the 244 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.320 BS word out over the air? 245 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:28.840 Sure? 246 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.279 Did Network TV and everyone. Wow, it's almost fighting. 247 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.240 It's almost like Shannon or a dragon were running his board. 248 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.240 They didn't run it. 249 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:38.519 Yeah. 250 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.320 So anyway, we do have to take a break three 251 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:42.679 oh three, seven to one to three talk. And again, 252 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.360 I didn't want to make this political, but one thing 253 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.799 I can tell you, and I'm serious about this, there's 254 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.559 two people in this audience on this show, me and 255 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.799 Chopper who are qualified to talk about this. From the 256 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:58.960 Chopper point of view the helicopter. I have thousands of 257 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.159 hours in the air now thousands as a helicopter pilot. 258 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:03.960 I'm not going to brag about this, but I'm going 259 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.600 to tell you there are some things that are totally 260 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:10.000 being overlooked. So Chopper, if you want to chime in, 261 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:17.279 you can right after this go with a sure thing 262 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.720 Denver's Best roofer Excel Roofing dot com.

Hi Tom Martino, you're a troubleshooter. You know, 271 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:55.159 all of these comments by people about the helicopter, they 272 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:57.240 have one thing in common. Most of them none of 273 00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.240 them flew helicopters, or fly helicopters, or go around the 274 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.919 country through what's called TCAs or Class A, Class C, 275 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.639 Class BIS airspaces. Let me just explain something. Okay, there 276 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:12.039 are corridors sometimes sometimes there are corridors. 277 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:14.440 Through busy airspace. 278 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.080 Like in New York, there's what's called a VFR corridor, 279 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.559 which means, no matter what's going on around you, if 280 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.039 you stay in that corridor, it's seen and be seen 281 00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.240 and you do anything you want. 282 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:24.799 Literally. 283 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.639 Okay, you can fly through that corridor and you can 284 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.679 just stay in that corridor, and then it's up to 285 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.519 you to look out for other VFR traffic in that corridor. 286 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.279 It's called a VFR pathway or corridor. Okay. Now Denver 287 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.840 doesn't have one, but well kind of they do, but 288 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.399 it's not named that. Like if you stay below control airspace, 289 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.519 above controlled airspace, or outside of controlled airspace, I guess 290 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.279 theoretically you could call it a VFR corridor. Now, as 291 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.399 Chopper will attest, when you're flying a helicopter, they usually 292 00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.519 allow you to do things no other airplane can do. 293 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:01.080 Aircraft. 294 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.080 They allow you to go under and over, they allow 295 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.480 you to stand still, they allow you to do circles, 296 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.879 they allow you to wait. But one thing they do 297 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.799 is they want you to see and avoid so many times, 298 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.639 no matter what altitude unless they assign you on altitude. 299 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.360 You can fly at what you want as long as 300 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:23.759 it's not violating airspace, so top flying. 301 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.279 And this happened where that helicopter was along the Potomac River. 302 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.759 It was supposed to be at two hundred feet. It 303 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.080 was at four hundred feet. The flight ceiling for that 304 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.879 Blackhawk helicopter was two hundred feet. The last known altitude 305 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:44.120 when it crashed was over four hundred feet. Mark. 306 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.440 If they're listen, if the tower was talking to them, 307 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.720 the tower knew exactly what height that helicopter was at 308 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:55.960 exactly and would have said maintain at or below two 309 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:56.600 hundred feet. 310 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.919 They would have if. 311 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.000 They did not say that then and they said to them, 312 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:05.919 we have a heavy in sight, a number you're not number, 313 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.279 but DC ten or whatever on final. I forget what 314 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.039 it was, but uh, then what what would have been 315 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:16.240 proper simply this a helicopter son sins such, uh, you 316 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.919 know whatever airliner on final? Do you have traffic in site? Now? Now, 317 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.360 I didn't hear the helicopter pilots say traffic in sight. 318 00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:29.240 I didn't hear the helicopter pilots say looking. I didn't 319 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.039 hear the helicopter pilots say anything, so then it says 320 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.279 pass behind the aircraft. That's common. You can be at 321 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.559 the same altitude they say pass behind. So as a 322 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.559 helicopter pilot, you would look at the tail of that 323 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.240 plane and aim for it and then go to the back. 324 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.600 They would be going forward. 325 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.120 You would go and pass behind them, and that would 326 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.679 be proper no matter what altitude you're at. The tower 327 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.080 knew what altitude, but they keep talking about altitude. You know, 328 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:02.960 altitude is either like I said, assigned by air space 329 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.079 or you talk to the tower. The tower has you 330 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.000 bust altitudes all the time. All the time, people fly 331 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.759 above and below the airspace based on what the tower 332 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.799 tells you. The tower takes precedent over the corridors. So 333 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.960 if the corridor said that was a two hundred foot ceiling, 334 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.960 and the tower knew where they were, the tower never 335 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:31.880 told them to descend. I mean, it's possible that the 336 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:33.759 tower didn't know what altitude they were at. 337 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.000 That would be pretty stupid. 338 00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.440 It's also possible that that helicopter wasn't paying attention. It 339 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:43.359 sounds to me like that did anyone and his chopper 340 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:47.839 on or not, because it never ever ever does a 341 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:53.039 tower ever say you have traffic on final? Pass behind it? 342 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:58.480 Never they say helicopter for a zero tango hotel. You 343 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:00.559 know you have a commuter aircraft, or you have a 344 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.440 G five on final? Do you see the traffic or 345 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.400 or G five at your twelve o'clock or ten o'clock 346 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:13.960 or whatever. They wait to hear traffic in sight. If 347 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.319 they don't hear traffic in sight, they don't tell you 348 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.640 to pass behind it. They call you again and say 349 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:26.799 do you have traffic in sight? I did not hear that. Again, 350 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:31.039 is chopper on or not? I asked them that are listening, 351 00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.279 well chopper? You know what, man? I very seldom do 352 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:36.279 I actually beg you to come on. I would like 353 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.480 your opinion on this now. I'm telling you this is 354 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.440 absolute experience. I've flown all over the country, all over 355 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.160 the country in my helicopter in class in these in 356 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:54.119 these class spare airspaces. And here's the deal. I'm not 357 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.680 bragging or trying to be a big shot. I'm just 358 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:01.759 saying it's not It's not as simple as people are 359 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:02.279 saying it. 360 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.240 Go ahead? 361 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.599 What does Fred want to say? Go ahead? Fred? 362 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.319 Oh Am? I not hearing for some reason. 363 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.640 Go ahead, Fred Sagan, see you hear right? 364 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:15.799 Now? 365 00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:17.920 Go ahead, sir, I can hear you. 366 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:18.240 Yes. 367 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.359 I have flown in the Reagan many times, and when 368 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:25.480 you find that Mount vernon visual, you're planning to land. 369 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.079 On runway one. 370 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.279 But I think what they're okaying to do is trying 371 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.440 to get a takeoff on zero one. So they told 372 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.240 him to circle the three to three, so he's okay. 373 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:39.960 Unfortunately there's a lot of lights, so there's no real 374 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.039 the horizon is easily definable. But you're flying over the 375 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.680 river and he's starting a left curvel in of your 376 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.440 type approach to land on that runway, and I think 377 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.200 you're going to find that baring anything unusual on the 378 00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:59.079 voice recorders, medical mechanical that the RJ was in a 379 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:04.079 turn and could not see to their right in the helicopter. 380 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.920 Well listen, but but but here here. I don't know 381 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:09.039 if you're a pilot or not, or if you fly helicopters. 382 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.839 All I wanted to ask you is this, Do you think. 383 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:16.119 Okay? 384 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:19.799 Then then do you really believe you know when people 385 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.839 say they were flying over the legal altitude? Well, I 386 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.640 don't know of anything called legal altitude unless it's not assigned. 387 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.000 Then you go by the chart. Isn't that right? 388 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.519 Well, it's it's supposed to be at two hundred feet. 389 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:37.160 And I don't see how you say the tower would 390 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.079 know their altitude unless they reported it. He may have 391 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.839 assumed they will no more than two hundred feet. 392 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.359 Well, actually, actually you must have been out of the 393 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.200 air a long time, because the tower knows exactly the 394 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.799 altitude of every aircraft and it's called ADSB and they 395 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:53.559 know exactly the altitude. 396 00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:56.240 Okay, but was he looking at it? 397 00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:56.960 Is my point? 398 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.200 Well, when you look at okay, you look at the radar, 399 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.160 they see the end number, they see the altitude, they 400 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:08.039 see the speed. Come on, man, okay, look at put 401 00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:10.279 him on hold. I don't believe he. I don't believe 402 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.200 you have the experience you said. I'm sorry, you wouldn't 403 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.519 even be talking like that. That controller knew everything about 404 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.799 that helicopter. And when you say VMC, you know what, 405 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.920 here's the thing. We don't know the conditions they were 406 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.440 flying under. If they were flying through a VFR corridor, 407 00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:26.839 they wouldn't even be talking to the tower. But they 408 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.640 were talking to the tower. So I'm just thinking that 409 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:34.519 people are talking out of their ass until we know. 410 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.640 That's what I think. 411 00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:37.799 Topper's on, Tom, if you want to chat at him. 412 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:38.839 Nobody said that. 413 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:40.319 They just looked at the wrong lights. 414 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:42.799 Wait, wait, hold on, I got to take a break 415 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:44.799 and then we'll come back with more. Well, all I'm 416 00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.200 saying is is I don't understand people saying they were 417 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.519 at the wrong altitude. The tower knew exactly where they were, 418 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.960 by the way.

So 434 00:22:54.880 --> 00:23:00.759 let me take some calls here. Uh, I want to 435 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:10.079 bring up for yeah, chopper, chopper, Yes, sir, So you 436 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.279 flew helicopters for years and years and years and years 437 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:16.720 and years. I've flown helicopters only about twelve years. But 438 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:21.519 here's the bottom line. Listen, we both have thousands of hours, 439 00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:24.680 and I want to ask you this. Have you ever 440 00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:31.799 had a time when let's say, a certain altitude is 441 00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:36.319 on the chart that you have to stay below and 442 00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.279 the controller tells you to maintain a higher altitude. 443 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.039 Oh, that happens all the time, Tom. 444 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:50.400 Yeah, So altitudes are on a chart as general guidelines, 445 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:56.240 and even in a VFR corridor, if the controller, if 446 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.559 you contact, if the controller called that helicopter and said 447 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.519 so and so is on final did you hear that 448 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:06.640 helicopter pilots say traffic in sight. 449 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.720 I didn't hear it, but I read a transcript that 450 00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.240 one of the national media has put on it, and 451 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:16.000 it did. 452 00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.440 It wasn't in sight, but it was like, got it? 453 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:24.160 I think, Okay, Tom, Honestly, I think he had the 454 00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:27.839 other plane that was ascending and turning. 455 00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:32.000 I don't think he had the uh one that was landing. 456 00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.599 He had the wrong traffic. He had the wrong traffic 457 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:35.079 in sight. 458 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.559 That's correct, That's what I think. 459 00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:43.880 And then, because how many times have you been told 460 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.839 to fly above or below, or behind or to the 461 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.880 left or to the right of traffic at the same 462 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.119 exact altitude. 463 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.519 Too many times to count. 464 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.880 That's exactly right. So if there wasn't a sign cor 465 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:04.680 or at two hundred feet and that helicopter was talking 466 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:09.240 to the tower, wouldn't that helicopter have said descend at 467 00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:10.480 a below two hundred. 468 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:14.799 You mean the controller? 469 00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:20.599 Of course, the controller was talking to the helicopter. The 470 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:24.839 controller knew exactly what altitude the helicopter was at exactly. 471 00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.319 You also have to remember that the controllers probably know 472 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:35.759 what the millery military does and you know, find the 473 00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.839 city's birds. They knew what we were doing, so they 474 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:41.759 give you a little more lead weight, and that's probably 475 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:43.119 what the controller was doing. 476 00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:51.799 So I don't understand any of this information that I 477 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.240 don't know. I don't I don't understand any of the 478 00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:59.839 information that they're saying as far as uh, they didn't 479 00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:03.440 have the right they didn't have the right altitude. I 480 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:04.839 just don't understand it, do you. 481 00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:09.559 I don't either, Uh, Tom, And you're a little bit 482 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:10.920 newer with the newer equipment. 483 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:13.960 So you guys think a black hawk is going to 484 00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.640 have it needs the same kind of equipment a Blackhawk. 485 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:21.160 Let's remember what we're talking about here, as in stuff 486 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:24.079 you guys flown like. In other words, any tower is 487 00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:27.279 going to know whatever a Blackhawk's doing at any time. 488 00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:32.640 Oh. Absolutely, every single military helicopter in the world has 489 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.759 ADSB Absolutely positively, there is no two ways about it. 490 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.599 They knew exactly where that helicopter was and how high 491 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:41.839 it was. 492 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:43.680 Yeah, that make it easy to shoot down. 493 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.160 Yeah, that's well, that's life and that's what whether you 494 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.160 like it or not. Mark, I will bet you any 495 00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:54.559 amount of money you want. Can they turn helicopter how 496 00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:58.000 to ideas? Can they turn it off? Yeah? You actually, yeah, 497 00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:00.599 you actually can turn it off. Now, Mark, I'm not 498 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.799 talking about around the world as far as in war. 499 00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.240 I'm talking about in the United States as far as 500 00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.759 air travel. I mean, I don't know what happens in war. 501 00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:13.839 I mean, I imagine they have all kinds of stuff to 502 00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:14.680 keep them cloaked. 503 00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:15.240 I don't know. 504 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.359 I have no idea they used. 505 00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:23.839 They use those birds to transport VIPs around the DC area, 506 00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:25.279 so they probably have everything. 507 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.279 Yeah, well it wouldn't matter. I mean, the point is 508 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.759 is there is no altitude that was wrong. What was 509 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.799 wrong is that the helicopter pilot did not see an 510 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:43.000 avoid It's it's very simple. Why. I don't know. I 511 00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:47.599 don't know. Maybe what Chopper said they had the wrong 512 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:50.799 traffic in sight, or how Belt's saying. 513 00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:53.960 How about the fact generally there's two controllers, one for 514 00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:57.920 helicopters and one for airplanes, and at this point there. 515 00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:01.559 Was really one. Okay, okay, and I want to talk 516 00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:07.880 about that. That's really not true, okay now, and Chopper 517 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.119 will tell you this. There is no such thing as 518 00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:16.160 an assigned controller for helicopters by law. What there is 519 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.880 is a local need. So if Washington has a plethora 520 00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:24.279 of helicopters, they may have a local operation. I don't know, 521 00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:28.240 but I'm saying that in general around the country there 522 00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:31.480 are I would say less than a handful, if any 523 00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:36.559 of special helicopter handlers. Helicopter handlers in a tower would 524 00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:40.240 be a totally local decision. It is not a legal thing, 525 00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.440 It is not an FAA thing. It's nothing. Now, chopper right, 526 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.759 I mean, have you ever heard of an assigned controller 527 00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.039 for helicopters. 528 00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:50.599 Well, let's put it this way. 529 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:54.759 I've been on different frequencies and it's the same voice 530 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:59.279 on different channels. So it's not unusual, Oh okay to 531 00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:02.039 handle a couple frequencies. 532 00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:04.079 And and and it's not yeah, and it's not a 533 00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:08.400 helicopter controller. It's a controller talking to a helicopter. Now, 534 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.960 what Mark said is probably true, maybe in Washington, because 535 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.799 everyone is saying it everyone and they can't all be wrong. 536 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:20.319 Everyone is saying that Washington, DC has a slot for 537 00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:24.599 a helicopter controller, and it was it was not Philly 538 00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:29.079 with helicopters. You're right, and and I mean I'm not 539 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:31.559 call I'm not saying they're wrong. They're probably right. I mean, 540 00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:34.240 I just know that it's not something I've ever heard 541 00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:36.519 of before. And I looked it up and it said 542 00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:40.839 it's usually done by need, So I think what we're 543 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:45.680 looking at is need. Like they they assume that it's needed. 544 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.039 So they do it, but there there is no normal 545 00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:53.960 staffing of what's called a helicopter. Uh yeah, so uh 546 00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:58.519 a helicopter what you might call it, uh, helicopter controller 547 00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.200 that I know of?

Hi, I'm Tom Martine. I want to 567 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:14.480 correct something. Military aircraft and helicopters do have an option 568 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.279 to take to turn off adsb out. That is basically 569 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.839 adsb out is nothing more than a tattletale. It tells 570 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.720 everyone where you are, how high you are, your end number, everything, okay, 571 00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.960 and all aircraft had to have it by twenty twenty. 572 00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:34.680 It was a mandate. A military helicopters had it before that. 573 00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:39.920 A military aircraft, however, they are exempt for certain things, 574 00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:45.799 obviously national security and special tactical missions. They turn that 575 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:47.720 off because they don't want the enemy to know where 576 00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:52.640 they are. And then there are also special. 577 00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:55.839 Ops. Okay, So I. 578 00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:57.960 Don't know if that helicopter was on a special op. 579 00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:01.440 It's quite possible it was. I have no idea. And 580 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.119 if it was on a special op of some kind 581 00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:08.519 where it did not want anyone to know where it was, then, 582 00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.599 But if they were on a special opp my question is, 583 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.759 why would they be talking to the tower, So I 584 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:21.480 mean and and you know, and then on the tower. 585 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:26.519 I don't know. I don't know about military operations at 586 00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:29.000 a towered airport. I mean, why would they even be 587 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:31.440 talking to them if they're on a special mission. So 588 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:34.079 that's all going to come out in the future. I'm 589 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.319 not saying I know all. I just know that that 590 00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:39.200 they were talking to them, and it seems weird to 591 00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:42.480 me that they didn't ask for acknowledgment. Do you see 592 00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:46.599 the traffic? I mean, anyway, let's go to the Terry. 593 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:47.480 What's going on with you? 594 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:49.920 Terry? 595 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.359 Just a quick point back to what you were saying 596 00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:56.960 earlier about DEEI. I'm a registered independence. Yes, I'm not 597 00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:01.119 planted one way. I agree with Monk. When Trump spoke, 598 00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.519 it wasn't about attacking minorities or little people. He was 599 00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.720 making it clearer how bad DEEI is the way I 600 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.839 received it, And I think that with what I'm in medical, 601 00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.599 So whether it's medical, aviation, whatever, I think you want 602 00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:18.519 the best people. I don't care whether you're going trans, black, white, 603 00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:19.039 We just. 604 00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.519 Want the best. 605 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.240 I think that's the point that people he was trying 606 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.200 to make, and that's the way I received it from Trump. 607 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:27.880 Trump just does thank you, very blunt, and that's my point. 608 00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:30.279 And and you're right, he is very blunt and and 609 00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:32.720 I think that's what Mark meant as well. I don't 610 00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:34.960 think it was meant as a slam. I just thought 611 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.720 it was weird. And again we have a difference of 612 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.240 opinion on that one, but I agree. I don't think 613 00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:42.720 he was trying to slam people. It just came off 614 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:46.960 a little unbalanced in my opinion. Lee, what is your comment? 615 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:51.240 Go ahead, Lee, Honey, Tom, Yeah, you nailed it. 616 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:53.039 Uh, you're a pilot. 617 00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:53.920 I'm a pilot. 618 00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:57.799 For many years there was at least four There was 619 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.319 at least two pilots in command that were at ON 620 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:04.119 that see and avoid, and both in the airliner was 621 00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.279 on a visual cleared for a visual the helicopter pilot 622 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:08.760 and make it see and avoid. 623 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:09.280 It's simple. 624 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:13.960 You don't ever rely on ATC for anything except for 625 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.760 just big the big picture. 626 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:20.360 I just don't know what happened. I really don't. It's 627 00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:23.719 really puzzling to me. And again I'm not trying to 628 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.880 try to make believe. 629 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:25.280 I know everything. 630 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:29.199 I mean, there's so much unknown out there.

Let me bring in 660 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:21.079 the clowns. Ah, I'm just kidding. They're good people. They're 661 00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:22.920 almost as smart as I am. I swear to god 662 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:28.159 they are. We got a room full of experts. Kevin 663 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:31.760 Colkin shared an ultrotect Jeff Fick Kimera transmission. We have 664 00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:35.599 Rod Greer from JFR Cars, Bob Perry, the leasing guy 665 00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:38.079 over at JEFFR Cars. We have people on the phone. 666 00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:40.280 I'm going to get to so I'm gonna take people 667 00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:42.400 been waiting, and then we'll go to our car questions 668 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.599 and all of that. And I do want to delve 669 00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:49.280 into leasing a little. I've always felt, I don't know 670 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:51.880 that it was a bad thing. And the more I 671 00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:54.920 looked into it and all the capital I've tied up 672 00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:59.480 over the years, I can see why a lot of 673 00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:04.440 people go for leasing. Again, it's not for everyone. And 674 00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:07.880 I think the weakness of leasing has nothing to do 675 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.440 with leasing. The weakness of leasing has to do and 676 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.880 Bob really quickly, if you want to chime in. I 677 00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:19.840 think the bad name that leasing gets is for two 678 00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:24.760 main reasons. In my opinion, it's an excuse by the 679 00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:27.239 guy selling the car or you know, leasing the car, 680 00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:31.760 to stack the invoice because the payments are a little 681 00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:36.800 artificially low, so they pack it and then the other 682 00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:38.760 one is stealing the. 683 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:42.599 Equity of a trade. Would you agree? 684 00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:45.880 And the lease itself, when done properly, is pretty damn good. 685 00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:46.559 What do you think? 686 00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:50.440 Yeah, No, they can't really stack the price because probably 687 00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:53.039 twenty five years ago they came out with the it's 688 00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:55.679 called a regam lease contract, so they have to disclose 689 00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:58.639 cap costs, they have to show your equity, so there's 690 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:00.639 no secrets anymore. 691 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.239 Okay, so you're saying that doesn't happen at all anymore. 692 00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:05.480 I mean it shouldn't. 693 00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:06.800 No, shouldn't. 694 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:11.360 Well, the nice thing about Melsing is that someone else 695 00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:13.880 is taking the risk on the future value of that car. 696 00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:15.360 And I've always said, if. 697 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.960 Someone else is willing to do that, let them, because 698 00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:20.199 predicting the future on a car is hard to do, 699 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:22.400 and in today's world even harder. 700 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:25.480 So the lessie Mark and I. Mark and I have 701 00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:29.360 always done the same thing. We've paid cash and then 702 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:33.280 gotten rid of it before it goes to dirt. But Mark, 703 00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:34.599 would you even rethink that. 704 00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:38.800 I can't. Man, I listen, I put forty two thousand 705 00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:42.400 miles on my Tesla in eighteen months. What the hell 706 00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:43.760 kind of lise am I going to get? 707 00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.280 I mean, they would do wrong. I didn't know you 708 00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:48.760 still drove a lot, that's right. Now, He's right, he 709 00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.880 does drive a lot. But that's what depreciates the car 710 00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:56.199 the most is the miles. Yeah, so you do have 711 00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:58.480 to be able to control or predict your mileage before 712 00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:01.960 you do a lease, sure, because to get that future. 713 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:03.360 Value, you need to know how many miles are going 714 00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:05.119 to be on it in three years or four years, 715 00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.840 whenever the lease is up right, that's right, So they 716 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:08.599 need to know how much. 717 00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:12.039 Let's talk to Jay. I'm sorry, Bob, I'm sorry. That's okay. Now, 718 00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:13.440 now we're going to go to Jay, who has a 719 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.880 there's a follow up, Mark, did you take this call 720 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:16.400 from Jay? 721 00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:19.199 I did, but I don't remember how far we got 722 00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:20.039 on it. 723 00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.039 Mark, just so you know, you want to Dan mackenzie 724 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.280 on for the call. Who can't come on until Monday? 725 00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:24.559 Oh? 726 00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:28.320 Yeah, we need It's an interesting call though. 727 00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:31.000 Okay, So some of the siblings are One of the 728 00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:35.800 siblings is the executor of the estate, the house was sold, 729 00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:44.280 and the house was sold for five hundred grand more 730 00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.239 than the estate. I don't get with this. 731 00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:50.599 Here's the bottom line. So his sister, Okay, his sister 732 00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:53.559 was in control when the when the mother passed away, 733 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:57.840 she apparently sold the house. She was in charge of 734 00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:01.880 the estate. She sold the house, liquidated it, and then 735 00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:04.920 split the money up. The contention of the caller is 736 00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:09.559 she sold it to their other sister for half a 737 00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:14.039 million to seven hundred thousand dollars below market. Then he 738 00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:17.800 got his share based on that very reduced amount. Then 739 00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:21.840 the other sister sold the house for one point three million, 740 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:27.039 and her and the other sister pocketed the difference. Oh 741 00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:33.480 my god, Ah, and it all happened. It all happened 742 00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:35.760 not that long ago. So what I wanted to know 743 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:39.719 from Dan mackenzie, You know, can they go back look 744 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.400 into this? I mean, what does he do at this point? 745 00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:46.760 If all this is correct, there's a big problem. 746 00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:47.039 Now. 747 00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:50.920 My my hunch, Mark is that if they let themselves 748 00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:54.000 be taken advantage of, unless they were lied to, I 749 00:40:54.039 --> 00:41:04.199 don't know. Let's talk to Jay, Jay, Jay, Harry R. 750 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.039 Tom. I think I'm mar hey. 751 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:12.320 Jay, And now did Mark summarize that accurately pretty close. 752 00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:15.079 Here's what happened. I got contacted by one of my 753 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:19.159 brothers because we have no control over anything one sister 754 00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:23.519 does and she's always infos with another sister, so four 755 00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:25.840 kind of left out of everything, and we have no 756 00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:31.760 legal standing. My mom left everything to my other sister's discretion. 757 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:35.800 So here's what happened. He's very very suspicious. So am 758 00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:37.559 I now really suspicious? 759 00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:38.719 My mom dies. 760 00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:44.639 Ultimately, the house sells for six nineties and then like 761 00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.400 ninety days later it sells for but it was. 762 00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.400 Sold to wait, wait, but it was sold to a sibling, right, 763 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:52.400 it was sold to a. 764 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:57.480 Sibling nefariously to one of their friends to wash it 765 00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:00.880 and then they all get a real price. 766 00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:04.119 Okay, so hold on, let me just get this straight. 767 00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:10.039 Jay Jay, Okay, Jay, I need to ask some questions 768 00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:13.320 because I'm understanding this wrongly. Then it was described, then 769 00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:17.519 you can do your story. Mom died, sister was the executor. 770 00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:21.519 The sister sold it to a friend, not to a sister. 771 00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:27.039 It is believed, and nobody knows who it was originally 772 00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:30.880 sold out of the escape to. My brother does not 773 00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.599 want to get involved. He's peeved beyond belief. 774 00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:36.559 Jay, you didn't answer my question yet, and I'm sorry, 775 00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:42.519 but I need the answer. The house was sold to who, That's. 776 00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.320 What we're trying to find out. We are positive it 777 00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:48.760 was the farious We can't find out. But my one 778 00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:53.360 sister is a very unscrupulous person, seem to have everything 779 00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:54.679 on earth to do with the house. 780 00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:57.119 And he but you don't know who. You don't know 781 00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:59.880 who it was sold to. So you don't know it 782 00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:04.760 sold to a sister. Okay, got it? And you thought 783 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:08.079 and you think it's it's like you think whoever it 784 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:10.280 was sold to, there was an inside deal. 785 00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:13.719 Yes, And I think he's right, that's what he thinks. 786 00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:15.800 And after looking it over, I think he's right. 787 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:19.679 Okay, got it. And then that then that insider that 788 00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:21.000 bought it sold it. 789 00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:25.679 Yeah. I think there was a little a little git 790 00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:28.239 together among people and everyone said, hey, there's a chance. 791 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:32.119 Yeah, that's a lot of money, right, So that then 792 00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:33.440 the insider sold it. 793 00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:35.079 Yep. 794 00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:41.639 Wow wow, So that's pretty dirty. And how much did 795 00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:43.239 the house sell for the second time? 796 00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:49.559 About forty percent more sold for a million one seventy 797 00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.960 five shifts under, or just around ninety days, right. 798 00:43:55.320 --> 00:44:01.280 One million point seventy five. Oh my gosh, yeah, a huge, 799 00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:08.440 huge wow. Well, so what happened was, well, one point 800 00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:11.880 seventy five is way more than double of six nineteen. 801 00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:17.360 Six ninety six. 802 00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:18.440 A couple months. 803 00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:22.239 Well, way over a million, way over a million. 804 00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:22.960 Yeah. 805 00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:28.239 Yeah, So now where are you in your search? That 806 00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.199 should be public information to you, guys, where the house 807 00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:31.960 was sold? 808 00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:36.519 I've been on Colorado, Dot Cove and everything else on Earth. 809 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:37.960 I spent luck. 810 00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:42.280 No, no, why doesn't the sister hold on? If you're 811 00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:43.519 an air? Are you an Air? 812 00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:49.159 Are you an Air? Then you have a legal right 813 00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:50.320 to see the probate. 814 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:56.239 There is no probate. It was all in a irrevocable trust. 815 00:44:56.360 --> 00:44:56.960 No probate. 816 00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:58.239 She simply got it over. 817 00:44:58.480 --> 00:44:59.159 That was my mother. 818 00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:05.199 Okay, so she was actually not the executive. She was 819 00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:14.480 the trustee, a trustee, yes for its matter? Okay, okay, okay, 820 00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:15.119 got it? 821 00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:24.079 Wow, share money any information with us? Peon brothers and. 822 00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:24.199 That's really too bad. 823 00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:28.159 Yeah I am the black sheep. 824 00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:29.639 That's really too bad. 825 00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:38.079 And I'm my apples are way up, Thomas smell. 826 00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:41.199 Yeah, this is too bad. So here's what we have 827 00:45:41.239 --> 00:45:44.599 to do. We have to talk to McKenzie. I think 828 00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:47.519 that's true, and see what he says. You know, it 829 00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:51.519 might very well be with an irrevocable trust and her 830 00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.840 being in charge. I'm not sure what rights anybody has, 831 00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:00.960 but let's try to get McKenzie on and I think 832 00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:07.440 we can do that on Monday. Okay, thank you. I'm 833 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.920 sorry about this, man. I don't blame you it it 834 00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:14.800 sounds pretty damn dirty. Mike your turn.

Okay, Mike. 837 00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:23.239 Then I have a question. We were talking about leasing. 838 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:31.599 Rob excuse me, Bob Parry, Bob. We I had a 839 00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:33.800 text and by the way, those who want to text 840 00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:37.719 me can text me at seven four seven nine eighty. 841 00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:40.800 You can also text me at the iHeart short code 842 00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:45.320 five seven seven thirty nine. The question I have is 843 00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:49.519 about hold on, dog on it. I just had it 844 00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:53.039 about leasing. Oh what what do you find is the 845 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:54.599 most common term for a lease? 846 00:46:56.320 --> 00:47:00.280 I mean, manufacturers or special programs are usually thirty six months, 847 00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:03.960 sometimes thirty nine forty two, but probably thirty six would 848 00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:04.760 be the most common. 849 00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:08.079 With what kind of mile? Okay, what do you recommend? 850 00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:12.119 So well? The stand, But do you recommend well, So 851 00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:13.400 that depends on the program. 852 00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:15.800 Sometimes the payment will be higher on a longer term 853 00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:18.320 because they try and get people out of cars in 854 00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:22.239 three years where they still have some value. So as 855 00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:26.719 standard lease is two years, even better, not necessarily because 856 00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:29.719 the biggest part of a lease payment is depreciation, and 857 00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:31.880 a card depreciates the most as soon as you drive 858 00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:34.039 it off the lot, So if you average it out 859 00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:36.559 over three years, the payment is pretty reasonable. 860 00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:37.599 Reason. 861 00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:41.639 Okay, got that? So three years and what's the most 862 00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:42.880 average miles? 863 00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:47.320 So standard lease is fifteen thousand miles a year. They 864 00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:51.639 do twelve thousand, ten thousand, seventy five hundred, five thousand, 865 00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:54.719 and then anything over fifteen thousand you just adjust for 866 00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:57.800 and you can do it depending on the lender. Sometimes 867 00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:00.519 you can do thirty thousand miles a year, forty miles 868 00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:02.320 a year a year. 869 00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:06.159 Okay, We got more coming up on the Troubleshooter Show 870 00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:08.239 three oh three seven one three talks seven one three 871 00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:10.880 two five five eight eight eight heating dot com high 872 00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:14.960 efficiency units that are cheaper than any and I mean 873 00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:17.880 less expensive than any, he says, put us to the test. 874 00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:21.880 We will beat anyone's price at eightaight eight heating dot com.

And anyway 892 00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:32.519 I want to know, Mark, will you ever consider leasing 893 00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:34.360 a car? I was many miles right. 894 00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:36.760 I would not I mean, if I to the miles, yeah, 895 00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:39.119 I just can't imagine it. I just end up paying 896 00:49:39.159 --> 00:49:41.400 too much. I mean, and if you really did, what 897 00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:43.320 if you what if you what. 898 00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:44.280 If your life changed? 899 00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:45.239 Well? 900 00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:49.000 Yeah, I mean if the mileage fit. I trade cars 901 00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:51.559 in often enough, it would probably be a great deal. 902 00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:53.840 But Bob, if I wanted if I came to you 903 00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:56.360 and said, hey, I want to lease, say I don't 904 00:49:56.400 --> 00:50:00.119 know whatever, blah blah blah, and I want to have 905 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.400 I have thirty thousand miles a year on it, and 906 00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:06.119 I want a three year deal. That means I'm turning 907 00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:09.079 it in at ninety thousand. What the hell am I 908 00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:12.119 going to say? From just paying cash for it or payments? 909 00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:14.920 Well, I mean then, well anything, I will say this, 910 00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:18.599 anything's possible. But you'll pay for it, right, Bob. 911 00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:21.599 Well, you pay for it no matter what miles depreciated car. 912 00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:22.039 Sure. 913 00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:24.079 The nice thing about a lease is if you did 914 00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:26.840 write ninety thousand miles in it and it's not worth 915 00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:29.199 the residual value, you can give it back. If it's 916 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:31.639 held its value, you have the option to purchase it 917 00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:33.599 and trade it and do whatever you want. So you 918 00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:36.599 have the upside potential without the downside risk allway. 919 00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:38.639 I guess what I'm asking though, is could it put 920 00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:43.400 the lease payment it over what a normal financing payment 921 00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:45.639 would be. But at the lease, at the end of it, 922 00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:47.360 I got to turn it in. I have nothing to 923 00:50:47.400 --> 00:50:49.920 show for it. But at the end of there, if 924 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:52.840 the payments are actually lower than what the lease payments are, 925 00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:55.840 I've got some residual that I can turn around and sell. 926 00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:58.719 But when you buy it, you make higher payments than 927 00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:01.360 you do on a lease. At lease made lower payments. 928 00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:05.519 Even with a ninety thousand mile dear. Okay, yes, okay, yeah, yeah. 929 00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:08.199 So there's no magic to buying or releasing a car. 930 00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:10.320 If you look out the window and pick out any car, 931 00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:13.280 that car doesn't know if you paid cash, finance it, 932 00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:15.599 or lease it. If you owe more on it than 933 00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:17.400 it's worth, it's because you put less of your own 934 00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:19.440 money into it. If you owe less on it than 935 00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:21.000 it's worth, it's because you put more of your own 936 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:23.480 money into it. If you want five thousand dollars equity 937 00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:25.159 in your car, just write a check for five thousand 938 00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:26.000 dollars at your money. 939 00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:35.719 It's not magic, now, I think that is well put. 940 00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:39.760 And you're telling me and Bob, I think you're telling 941 00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:43.679 me it's impossible to get screwed on a lease. Come on, man, 942 00:51:43.800 --> 00:51:47.559 they can pack that you're saying. I'm reading examples where 943 00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:49.920 you pay more for the acquisition cost than you could 944 00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:53.679 somewhere else. So there is a I mean, obviously you 945 00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:55.400 want to go to somewhere that's going to give you 946 00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:57.880 the best acquisition. 947 00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.840 Cost, right, Well, sure, I mean you know, I'm gonna 948 00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:02.800 say it's up to whoever you're dealing with and whether 949 00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:05.960 you read the paperwork. Because the cap cost is your 950 00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:08.559 sale price. It should be the same whether you buy 951 00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:09.239 it or lease it. 952 00:52:14.119 --> 00:52:19.199 Okay, So let's talk about that the cap costs, meaning 953 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:23.079 the the the acquisition cost. 954 00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:28.159 Well, so the cap, what do you look is the 955 00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:32.079 sale price. Leases have an acquisition fee, and then that 956 00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:33.199 would be your cap cost. 957 00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:35.840 Any down payment, any rebates or whatever would be the 958 00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:36.800 adjusted cap. 959 00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:39.079 So if you've got to rebate when you bought the car, 960 00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:40.800 and you got to rebate when you lease the car, 961 00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:43.719 the adjusted cap and your sale price should be the same. 962 00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:47.199 I mean, not all. 963 00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:50.840 I mean, if you don't read your paperwork, which a 964 00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:52.840 lot of people don't, you may not know that. 965 00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:59.679 Okay. So then again I want to make this across. 966 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:02.880 They can go to you, or they can go somewhere else. 967 00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:05.480 They're not always going to get the same deal, though, 968 00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:06.880 I want to be straight on that. 969 00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:10.400 And when you say the same deal, you're talking about 970 00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:12.639 just the price of the vehicle or I'm not sure what. 971 00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:16.519 Yeah, I'm talking about everything, their payment, the price, everything, 972 00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:20.039 I mean, are mileage they can't screw with. You're saying, 973 00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:20.639 is that right? 974 00:53:21.239 --> 00:53:23.400 Well, I mean we would ask you how many miles 975 00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:25.519 per year you're going to drive, because I tell people 976 00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:27.760 assume you're going to Lisa Car and turn it in 977 00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:29.400 at the end. So you don't want to do a 978 00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:31.920 five thousand mile of year lease when you drive fifteen. 979 00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:33.719 That doesn't benefit you. 980 00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:39.440 Okay. 981 00:53:39.760 --> 00:53:45.760 So again what we're saying is there are ways I'm trying. 982 00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:47.800 What I'm trying to get across is this, and maybe 983 00:53:47.800 --> 00:53:52.039 I'm not doing it right. I can't believe that if 984 00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:56.360 I go to Lisa Car, everywhere I go is going 985 00:53:56.440 --> 00:54:00.320 to be exactly the same exact acquisition, exact cap costs, 986 00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:05.079 exact interest, exact payment, exact everything. Is that what you're saying? 987 00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:06.760 Well, a lot of times, so, Bob, I mean, I 988 00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:11.679 I just need to know that Likendi Hondi might have 989 00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:15.079 a special lease program. If you go through Hondi Motors 990 00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:18.239 a special lease thing, you wouldn't be able to do that. 991 00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:20.559 I'm talking about like people like so you can do 992 00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:22.960 the same thing as the manufacturer's stuff. 993 00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:25.480 So what we do is try and put you in 994 00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:28.639 the best vehicle at the best terms. The lowest lease 995 00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:31.480 payment isn't necessarily the best lease because it may have 996 00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:33.679 a higher residual, it may have a higher money factor 997 00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:34.159 to get. 998 00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:35.079 You that lowest payment. 999 00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:35.599 Got it. 1000 00:54:35.920 --> 00:54:37.519 But you know, we do the math and show you 1001 00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:40.119 the difference between them, and it's not always the manufacturer 1002 00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:43.079 that has the best lease. And we can do that one, 1003 00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:46.199 or we can do an independent like a credit union 1004 00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:48.679 or a bank that may have a better program than 1005 00:54:48.679 --> 00:54:49.519 the manufacturer. 1006 00:54:53.320 --> 00:55:00.199 Okay, okay. So basically it's what we're talking about is 1007 00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:02.760 somebody who's going to be honest. Somebody is going to 1008 00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:06.199 be straightforward and tell you the numbers and have you 1009 00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:07.719 seen where a purchase. 1010 00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:09.159 Go ahead, sir, No, I'm just going to say in 1011 00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:13.320 you know, in a dealership, their biggest profit center is 1012 00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:15.920 their finance office. So once you've been out on the 1013 00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:18.480 showroom for hour, many hours and made your deal. Then 1014 00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:20.239 you go to finance, and that's where they make all 1015 00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:23.800 their money, and so they can mark up the money factor, 1016 00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:26.039 which is equivalent of interest, because that's how that guy 1017 00:55:26.079 --> 00:55:29.239 gets paid. So they won't all necessarily be the same 1018 00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:30.320 from dealer to dealer. 1019 00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:37.360 Okay, So have you have you ever seen where cars 1020 00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:43.239 are ever better purchased, better deal than leasing? Or do 1021 00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:46.519 you think leasing if you can stay within the mileage 1022 00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:49.559 I'm saying now, do you and you stay within the term, 1023 00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:55.599 no early terminations, do you feel that it is better? 1024 00:55:57.320 --> 00:55:59.840 I always I do, and I always have because of 1025 00:55:59.920 --> 00:56:04.280 the fact leases have an end, they have an out, 1026 00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:07.000 so it worst cases, you keep us at the end 1027 00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:09.280 of the lease and turn it back in. As I 1028 00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:12.719 said before, you know, the lenders are predicting the future 1029 00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:15.159 value of a car. Who knows what that is, especially 1030 00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:19.199 now electric hybrids, plug in hybrids, hydrogen. I mean, who 1031 00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:21.519 knows what's gonna it's gonna look like in three years 1032 00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.920 from now. So let somebody else take that gamble on 1033 00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:27.679 the future value. If they're right, then then you can 1034 00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:30.159 buy that car. If they're wrong, then you give it 1035 00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:31.760 back to them and let them take the loss. 1036 00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:37.920 Okay, I like what you're saying anyway, three oh three 1037 00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:40.760 seven one three talks three oh three seven one three 1038 00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:45.400 eight two five five. Now I have calculated my mile ageuice, 1039 00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:50.599 and I put an average for this actual car, and 1040 00:56:50.639 --> 00:56:54.599 I've not scrimped or nothing. Eight hundred eighty six miles 1041 00:56:54.599 --> 00:56:57.320 a month, which comes out to ten thousand, six hundred 1042 00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:00.840 miles a year. So well, what do I do with that? 1043 00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:02.519 If I want a lease? Do I go up to 1044 00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:05.639 twelve thousand? Can I go to eleven thousand? Or do 1045 00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:07.920 I go back to ten thousand and try to curb 1046 00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:09.320 it a little? What would you do? 1047 00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:09.920 So? 1048 00:57:11.159 --> 00:57:13.280 You know, as I mentioned, the fifteen is standard. 1049 00:57:13.320 --> 00:57:16.400 They do twelve ten seventy five hundred, five thousand mile 1050 00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:18.559 of your leases, So I would say to go to 1051 00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:21.000 the next highest one to give you a cushion. You 1052 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.480 don't ever want your lease to dictate whether you go 1053 00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:25.920 get milk or not. You know, you don't want to 1054 00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:29.960 have a lease scene yeah, or twelve because you said. 1055 00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:34.760 You do how many a month? Eight eighty six? So 1056 00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:36.440 I mean twelve thousand would work. 1057 00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:39.400 But I think you want err on the high side, 1058 00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:42.920 you unless the payment is that critical, But then then 1059 00:57:42.960 --> 00:57:45.639 you're going to pay at the end. So you know, 1060 00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:47.239 if you turn it in with more miles, they're going 1061 00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:49.360 to charge you so many cents per mile that you 1062 00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:49.840 were over. 1063 00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:54.679 What does it always turn out to be upfront with 1064 00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:57.639 the mileage or to pay the penalty? Well, I mean, 1065 00:57:57.840 --> 00:57:59.280 so you know I'm always upfront. 1066 00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:01.280 The day you sign the lease, you know how many 1067 00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:04.000 miles you're allowed in the contract, You'll tell you how 1068 00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:07.079 much your excess miles are, So there's no surprises. 1069 00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:13.599 Now if I trade in my car, and I don't 1070 00:58:13.639 --> 00:58:16.079 even want to talk about trades. Mark was talking about 1071 00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:19.320 how his how the new car went down as soon 1072 00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:24.320 as he bought his. I can't believe the depreciation of 1073 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:29.280 my car. I can't believe it. I just don't only 1074 00:58:29.320 --> 00:58:33.400 want to talk about it makes me sick. But that 1075 00:58:33.559 --> 00:58:36.159 equity would be applied to the cap costs and reduce 1076 00:58:36.199 --> 00:58:38.960 the monthly payment. Or is it better to sell it 1077 00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:41.159 and just keep the money. What is it? 1078 00:58:41.280 --> 00:58:44.440 What's it better to do? I mean, you know, that's 1079 00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:47.480 a personal choice. So if you put money down on 1080 00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:50.719 a lease, it cuts into the depreciation on that car. 1081 00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:53.280 It doesn't change the end value or anything else. So 1082 00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:56.320 if you don't mind what the payment is. Keep the 1083 00:58:56.360 --> 00:58:59.320 equity if you're concerned about the payment of eyes, or 1084 00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:01.559 use a tor it. But it doesn't change the end 1085 00:59:01.639 --> 00:59:04.559 value at all because the lender is still again no 1086 00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:07.119 of course future value, so that won't change it. 1087 00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:08.159 Of course you do it. 1088 00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:11.239 But it will lower the payment, It will lower the pins. Yes, 1089 00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:15.280 absolutely all right. One clear Choice garage Doors. That's the 1090 00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:18.239 place to keep your car behind.

But just 1163 01:03:11.159 --> 01:03:11.840 one of the neighbors. 1164 01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:13.599 I don't care about that.

And it's a yes or no. 1460 01:19:02.039 --> 01:19:04.520 Do you actually have any judgments? 1461 01:19:06.680 --> 01:19:06.840 Well? 1462 01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:10.720 I filed the leans, but that's as far as I've gotten. 1463 01:19:12.560 --> 01:19:15.359 Okay, if you file the leans. 1464 01:19:16.720 --> 01:19:18.039 Yeah and I got, doesn't matter. 1465 01:19:18.119 --> 01:19:24.439 You find registered letters back, it doesn't It doesn't matter. 1466 01:19:25.399 --> 01:19:29.319 If you file the lean, it dropped away and you 1467 01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:36.159 lost your right to foreclose. Okay, so what we have 1468 01:19:36.279 --> 01:19:38.880 to do is something alternate. It doesn't mean they don't 1469 01:19:38.920 --> 01:19:42.920 owe you the money. You have six years to collect money. Okay, 1470 01:19:43.079 --> 01:19:47.279 here's what I want to know. How much you said 1471 01:19:47.319 --> 01:19:49.680 it was fifty eight thousands. 1472 01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:54.000 Fifty five thousand plus another He said, well, you'll be 1473 01:19:54.079 --> 01:19:58.359 another eighteen percent for the year added on to that. 1474 01:19:58.760 --> 01:20:05.239 Okay, so about fifty eight thousand. Okay, All right, let's 1475 01:20:05.279 --> 01:20:11.159 just say fifty thousand. Okay, Now now this does this 1476 01:20:11.479 --> 01:20:14.279 contractor owe a lot of other subs. 1477 01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:17.279 Field. 1478 01:20:18.399 --> 01:20:21.279 We worked the one on Panato out in the Cherry Hills, 1479 01:20:22.119 --> 01:20:26.119 and the painter held him like eighteen thousand, and then 1480 01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:30.079 the painter ended up taking like half of that nine thousand. 1481 01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:33.560 And that's the only one that I know. 1482 01:20:33.680 --> 01:20:37.479 That so is Steve Davis? Is Steve Davis Enterprise is 1483 01:20:37.600 --> 01:20:38.640 still doing new work? 1484 01:20:39.920 --> 01:20:42.079 Yes? Yes? 1485 01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:45.880 And right now, what kind of work does he normally do? 1486 01:20:47.479 --> 01:20:50.319 He like goes in and works for customers and say, 1487 01:20:50.520 --> 01:20:53.560 you know, you want your house renovated, so he'd like 1488 01:20:54.159 --> 01:20:57.319 gut the houses and then start all new with new 1489 01:20:57.880 --> 01:20:59.439 and stuff. 1490 01:20:59.520 --> 01:21:05.560 But he is still actively doing work, right, yeah? Is 1491 01:21:05.680 --> 01:21:08.399 there a reason he gave for not paying you? I'm 1492 01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:11.199 not asking if you agree with the reason, but have 1493 01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:12.760 there been reasons given? 1494 01:21:14.279 --> 01:21:19.039 He just said he didn't get paid, and I told him, 1495 01:21:19.119 --> 01:21:20.920 I'm not working for them, I'm working for you. 1496 01:21:22.600 --> 01:21:22.880 Great. 1497 01:21:23.000 --> 01:21:25.359 So what he did was with the lawyers that I had, 1498 01:21:26.720 --> 01:21:28.600 he said, well, we're not going to talk it to 1499 01:21:29.960 --> 01:21:33.279 the lawyers. Take take the leads off. Well, then they 1500 01:21:33.399 --> 01:21:35.319 get it. I didn't want to do it. And then 1501 01:21:36.680 --> 01:21:39.359 it turns out that he doesn't. He just stopped. He 1502 01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:42.760 just pult four houses with the last probably eight months 1503 01:21:42.840 --> 01:21:47.680 for one point four million each. And I haven't seen 1504 01:21:47.720 --> 01:21:48.520 any money at all. 1505 01:21:50.079 --> 01:21:52.439 So you said he fix ups houses, but now you're 1506 01:21:52.479 --> 01:21:55.239 saying he does spec houses as well. Does he do 1507 01:21:55.359 --> 01:21:56.560 fix and flips. 1508 01:21:58.079 --> 01:22:03.199 Well for people? He doesn't really do up for himself. 1509 01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:08.399 I know he did like houses that he had personally 1510 01:22:08.520 --> 01:22:11.359 in his own name, but and and we get all 1511 01:22:11.439 --> 01:22:14.479 that stuff in there for him, and and he just sold, 1512 01:22:14.560 --> 01:22:17.479 like I say, four of them. But he just works 1513 01:22:17.560 --> 01:22:19.680 on people's houses like he probably got right now. 1514 01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:22.640 Does he have a website? Does he have a website? 1515 01:22:24.720 --> 01:22:25.399 I will say so. 1516 01:22:27.560 --> 01:22:32.560 Is the name of his company actually Steve Davis Enterprises. Yes, 1517 01:22:34.920 --> 01:22:37.960 he's not coming up anywhere that I can see wait, 1518 01:22:38.399 --> 01:22:42.760 I see a Colorado Services and as Steve Davis, But 1519 01:22:43.319 --> 01:22:48.399 that's not it. I don't see anything, Mark, can you. 1520 01:22:49.520 --> 01:22:50.199 I was looking. 1521 01:22:50.319 --> 01:22:54.359 I didn't see much either. I did want to explain 1522 01:22:54.439 --> 01:22:57.720 real quick to just people listening. When when you follow 1523 01:22:58.359 --> 01:23:01.399 file LEAN on a property to give the ten days notice, 1524 01:23:01.439 --> 01:23:04.479 that's number one. But the important part to that is 1525 01:23:04.840 --> 01:23:07.920 you had to have worked there within sixty days or 1526 01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:10.720 finished the job at that point, or delivered goods in 1527 01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:14.760 some occasions. Then you have six months from that time 1528 01:23:15.239 --> 01:23:19.399 to actually enforce the mechanics LEAN, which is basically literally 1529 01:23:19.600 --> 01:23:23.199 serving them, taking them to court, winning the court case 1530 01:23:23.399 --> 01:23:27.159 and getting the judgment. Now you have a perfected lian. Now, 1531 01:23:27.399 --> 01:23:29.279 if you have the kind of money it takes to 1532 01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:32.079 go fore clothes on the property, you could do that. 1533 01:23:32.439 --> 01:23:34.560 But that lian will sit there as long as you 1534 01:23:34.720 --> 01:23:37.399 renew it when you need to renew it as well. 1535 01:23:37.560 --> 01:23:40.840 But you didn't do any of that except for the 1536 01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:43.520 actual probably the notice. 1537 01:23:46.239 --> 01:23:48.720 Yeah, well they had all I still have them in 1538 01:23:48.760 --> 01:23:53.279 my folders of that where they signed the mail registered 1539 01:23:53.560 --> 01:23:56.199 letter and it doesn't matter. 1540 01:23:56.520 --> 01:23:59.680 Why do you keep saying that it doesn't matter that 1541 01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:03.560 they signed it and they received it. It doesn't matter. 1542 01:24:04.279 --> 01:24:07.199 It just tells that you file the lean. But if 1543 01:24:07.239 --> 01:24:10.000 you just file a lien and don't do anything else, 1544 01:24:10.560 --> 01:24:11.119 you're done. 1545 01:24:12.640 --> 01:24:12.960 Okay. 1546 01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:16.600 You know you keep saying that they sign for it. 1547 01:24:17.039 --> 01:24:17.880 What does that mean? 1548 01:24:19.560 --> 01:24:22.600 You have to literally sue them in court within six 1549 01:24:22.800 --> 01:24:27.000 months of filing the lien in order to perfect the lien. 1550 01:24:27.479 --> 01:24:29.560 If you don't, you don't have a lien. 1551 01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:36.039 Okay, didn't your attorneys explain this to you when you hired? 1552 01:24:36.640 --> 01:24:43.399 Didn't they explain it? No? They didn't, never, never, No 1553 01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:46.399 one said, well, it's kind of late. That could be 1554 01:24:46.520 --> 01:24:47.800 why they wanted to go with it. 1555 01:24:51.359 --> 01:24:53.279 I think he nailed it, Tom, I think he was. 1556 01:24:53.399 --> 01:24:55.960 When he finally went to an attorney, he already sent 1557 01:24:56.079 --> 01:24:59.399 the lean paperwork in. They're like, you're already pasted all 1558 01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:02.039 these deadline and said, we can't go this direction. We 1559 01:25:02.199 --> 01:25:04.720 have to go a different direction, the breach of contract. 1560 01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:07.600 Hey, can I ask a question? 1561 01:25:08.079 --> 01:25:12.239 I thought, I if the homeowner has paid the general 1562 01:25:12.359 --> 01:25:17.159 contractor in full, isn't that an affirmative defense against having 1563 01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:19.000 a lean placed on the property. 1564 01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:20.680 What does that have to do with it? 1565 01:25:21.039 --> 01:25:21.199 Dial? 1566 01:25:21.239 --> 01:25:23.680 Okay, No, No, Now that has nothing to do here. 1567 01:25:24.119 --> 01:25:28.479 What doc is saying is under the lean laws in Colorado. 1568 01:25:28.920 --> 01:25:32.239 If you have a primary residence and you contract with 1569 01:25:32.319 --> 01:25:35.800 a contractor, and you can show you pay the contractor 1570 01:25:35.960 --> 01:25:40.279 in full, it's a firmative offense, a defense against a lean. 1571 01:25:40.760 --> 01:25:42.960 You have to be First, there has to be a 1572 01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:47.199 written contract.

Do you keep the snows 1604 01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:44.600 on and wear them out? What do you do? Do 1605 01:27:44.760 --> 01:27:46.680 you ever go back and change them out? 1606 01:27:47.319 --> 01:27:47.359 Like? 1607 01:27:47.560 --> 01:27:51.279 What should they do? I often wonder about this. It's 1608 01:27:51.399 --> 01:27:54.880 almost not worth having snow tires, guys. What do you think? 1609 01:27:55.119 --> 01:27:58.800 Well, not as inconsistent as the weather spin here, but yeah, 1610 01:27:58.840 --> 01:28:00.960 I mean typically you go by season, you don't go 1611 01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:01.880 by snowstorms. 1612 01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.439 So you put them on in November December, take them 1613 01:28:04.479 --> 01:28:05.039 off in April. 1614 01:28:05.239 --> 01:28:07.279 Yeah, I mean at the disadvantage too, is if you 1615 01:28:07.439 --> 01:28:10.119 you know, if you're running like studded snows, you actually 1616 01:28:10.199 --> 01:28:12.760 have a longer break distance. Now you don't have as 1617 01:28:12.800 --> 01:28:14.159 good attraction on dry pavement. 1618 01:28:14.520 --> 01:28:23.199 True, Okay, so you have them put on and you 1619 01:28:23.359 --> 01:28:23.800 keep them on. 1620 01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:25.319 Pizza's there. 1621 01:28:25.920 --> 01:28:31.920 I mean it's not really practical to do that over 1622 01:28:32.000 --> 01:28:34.840 and over. By the way, I didn't order pizza. But anyway, 1623 01:28:35.760 --> 01:28:39.199 So what do you think, guys?

Go ahead, I 1813 01:38:03.840 --> 01:38:05.359 bought a car, and they said I never have to 1814 01:38:05.439 --> 01:38:08.840 change the oil. Should I believe them. It's an Oh, 1815 01:38:09.720 --> 01:38:16.399 never mind, it's a model. Why yeah, Oh man, guys, 1816 01:38:17.039 --> 01:38:20.600 are you guys, what are you doing about evs? Are 1817 01:38:20.680 --> 01:38:24.920 you guys morphing into some of some people being trained 1818 01:38:24.960 --> 01:38:28.079 for that or are you just gonna relinquish that trade 1819 01:38:28.199 --> 01:38:29.600 and you don't think it's going to be a big 1820 01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:30.920 deal going forward for a while. 1821 01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:33.720 What do you think we're starting. 1822 01:38:33.840 --> 01:38:37.399 We're definitely taking classes on it, but you know, we're 1823 01:38:37.479 --> 01:38:40.039 we're also not one hundred percent of what technology we're 1824 01:38:40.039 --> 01:38:42.119 going to have in three to five years, so it's 1825 01:38:42.119 --> 01:38:43.800 hard to jump in too deep right now. 1826 01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:46.600 Yeah, Well, when it comes to like window regulators or 1827 01:38:46.720 --> 01:38:52.640 tire breaks, they're all the same, right, Yeah, all those 1828 01:38:52.720 --> 01:38:58.880 things are the same. Yep, starters, alternators, fuel pumps, but 1829 01:38:59.119 --> 01:39:01.960 lubrication point have to be different, or the front ends 1830 01:39:02.000 --> 01:39:02.520 all the same. 1831 01:39:03.640 --> 01:39:06.520 Everything is slightly different, but it's just like from manufacture 1832 01:39:06.560 --> 01:39:08.800 to manufacture they're different too. So yeah, it's just but 1833 01:39:08.960 --> 01:39:10.880 the the geometry is the same. 1834 01:39:11.840 --> 01:39:12.159 All right. 1835 01:39:12.239 --> 01:39:14.520 Listen, you've got to listen to this, man, Just listen 1836 01:39:14.600 --> 01:39:16.560 to this real quick. This is the fire chief. 1837 01:39:17.560 --> 01:39:20.359 You want to see somebody the response to your house, 1838 01:39:20.479 --> 01:39:22.840 your emergency, whether it's a medical call, or a fire 1839 01:39:22.920 --> 01:39:25.520 call that looks like you. It gives that person a 1840 01:39:25.560 --> 01:39:28.439 little bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their 1841 01:39:28.479 --> 01:39:29.319 situation better. 1842 01:39:29.680 --> 01:39:31.000 Is she strong enough to do this? 1843 01:39:31.279 --> 01:39:33.279 Or you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire, 1844 01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:35.960 which my response is he got himself in the wrong 1845 01:39:36.039 --> 01:39:37.760 place if I have to carry them out of a fire. 1846 01:39:39.479 --> 01:39:47.560 That's literally from the audio she made. What I'm so shy? 1847 01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:48.159 Is god? 1848 01:39:48.359 --> 01:39:49.640 The first time you've heard this? 1849 01:39:51.279 --> 01:39:53.960 No, I've heard of the one about somebody that looks 1850 01:39:54.039 --> 01:39:54.199 like you. 1851 01:39:54.279 --> 01:39:57.560 I didn't hear the part the DEI stuff is like 1852 01:39:57.800 --> 01:40:05.279 so they went so overboard it's insane, like like who 1853 01:40:05.439 --> 01:40:08.199 who here wakes up going I'm going to get myself 1854 01:40:08.279 --> 01:40:09.439 into a fire today. 1855 01:40:12.000 --> 01:40:16.000 But if you are, if you're unconscious because it's smoke inhalation, 1856 01:40:16.479 --> 01:40:19.640 it's your fault for being unconscious due to the smoke. 1857 01:40:21.039 --> 01:40:22.840 Could someone be that stupid to say that? 1858 01:40:23.039 --> 01:40:26.399 Seriously? I'm sorry when we play that is that not 1859 01:40:26.560 --> 01:40:28.920 her talking? Dragon? Who is is her talking? 1860 01:40:29.079 --> 01:40:29.560 That is her? 1861 01:40:29.680 --> 01:40:30.960 That's the assistant fire chief. 1862 01:40:34.119 --> 01:40:36.000 Is that person still employed. 1863 01:40:37.800 --> 01:40:38.359 Promotions? 1864 01:40:39.079 --> 01:40:41.960 Oh it's California, of course she is. Well not if 1865 01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:45.000 they want money, we'll see if she's employed. 1866 01:40:45.359 --> 01:40:50.760 Now getting back getting back to that, the discussion on 1867 01:40:50.840 --> 01:40:54.119 the crash, and I was waiting in on it as 1868 01:40:54.159 --> 01:40:56.720 a helicopter pilot and also as a pilot. If you 1869 01:40:56.840 --> 01:41:00.920 go to the airport where that was involved on the Potomac, 1870 01:41:01.479 --> 01:41:07.319 there is the there is no two hundred foot corridor 1871 01:41:07.439 --> 01:41:11.399 that I see. All that I see is from the 1872 01:41:11.520 --> 01:41:14.439 surface to ten thousand feet there is to be no 1873 01:41:14.600 --> 01:41:20.000 uncontrolled traffic. So in that space, no matter who you are, 1874 01:41:21.359 --> 01:41:24.680 no matter what altitude you're at, you have to be 1875 01:41:25.119 --> 01:41:33.520 under a controller, under a controller period. It's it's totally different. Mark, 1876 01:41:34.600 --> 01:41:38.760 I'm sorry, but I'm not. If you Mark, I'm sorry. 1877 01:41:39.159 --> 01:41:42.079 If you are in an airspace, whether you are military, 1878 01:41:42.640 --> 01:41:47.039 whether you are military or not, you have to abide Mark. 1879 01:41:47.560 --> 01:41:52.319 You have to abide by the airspace requirements unless otherwise 1880 01:41:52.520 --> 01:41:59.560 cleared by a controller. What is hard to understand, I'm 1881 01:41:59.640 --> 01:42:02.840 not talking about a black ops operation. I have nothing 1882 01:42:02.920 --> 01:42:04.159 to do. I have no idea about that. 1883 01:42:04.279 --> 01:42:07.800 I mean the fly dignitaries to and from the White House. 1884 01:42:08.159 --> 01:42:11.479 They do not broadcast where they are when Putin's in 1885 01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:14.640 the helicopter. That's what those guys were training for. 1886 01:42:16.560 --> 01:42:20.000 Okay, if they were all I'm saying is this, there 1887 01:42:20.119 --> 01:42:23.680 is a requirement that if you're from the surface to 1888 01:42:24.159 --> 01:42:27.560 ten thousand feet in that area of the airport and 1889 01:42:27.760 --> 01:42:32.399 all along the Potomac, that in that airspace you must 1890 01:42:32.479 --> 01:42:36.840 be in control. You must be in contact with a controller. Now, 1891 01:42:37.199 --> 01:42:41.600 if there are special ops for dignitaries flying in a helicopter, 1892 01:42:42.199 --> 01:42:44.720 why would the tower even be talking to them during 1893 01:42:44.800 --> 01:42:49.840 a special op? No idea, I mean neither would I 1894 01:42:50.079 --> 01:42:53.600 I don't either. Now. I imagine there are plenty of times, 1895 01:42:53.920 --> 01:42:57.640 for God's sakes, that there are clandestine and black ops 1896 01:42:57.720 --> 01:43:01.439 that no one knows about. But when you're flying, he 1897 01:43:01.680 --> 01:43:05.439 literally was flying over the runway, over the final approach 1898 01:43:05.800 --> 01:43:08.159 of a runway. And I don't care who you are 1899 01:43:08.479 --> 01:43:11.119 or what mission you're on. If you're if you're in 1900 01:43:11.239 --> 01:43:15.319 the vicinity of an active runway, you in a Class 1901 01:43:15.359 --> 01:43:18.479 B air space, you are going to be in contact 1902 01:43:19.199 --> 01:43:25.880 with a controller. And that that helicopter was in in 1903 01:43:26.520 --> 01:43:31.560 a contact. And what I don't understand is if the 1904 01:43:32.119 --> 01:43:36.359 tower said pass behind the plane, why they crashed into it. 1905 01:43:36.760 --> 01:43:40.880 I think Chopper gave a logical explanation, and that is 1906 01:43:42.399 --> 01:43:46.199 when you have traffic in sight, you may have the 1907 01:43:46.319 --> 01:43:49.840 wrong traffic insight. I mean, that's a very very busy area, 1908 01:43:50.319 --> 01:43:53.800 a very busy area. And then as others have brought 1909 01:43:53.840 --> 01:43:58.039 out in that area because there are so many helicopters, 1910 01:43:58.520 --> 01:44:03.079 apparently there is a special person they have that keeps 1911 01:44:03.159 --> 01:44:06.600 track of helicopters, and that wasn't in the tower at 1912 01:44:06.640 --> 01:44:10.119 the time. That person wasn't in the tower at the time, 1913 01:44:11.039 --> 01:44:15.039 so in any case, or they couldn't see over the bench. 1914 01:44:15.359 --> 01:44:18.960 I'm just kidding again. God, please forgive me anyway. Three 1915 01:44:19.079 --> 01:44:22.520 oh three seven one three talks seven one three eight 1916 01:44:22.600 --> 01:44:27.079 two five five.

He's found 1977 01:48:02.359 --> 01:48:07.279 one with thirty thousand miles on it for just under five. 1978 01:48:09.079 --> 01:48:11.520 Well, I mean the five is definitely attractive. With thirty 1979 01:48:11.560 --> 01:48:14.399 thousand miles, it was most likely a good unit. The 1980 01:48:14.560 --> 01:48:17.640 ten grand for a unit installed, if you're getting a 1981 01:48:17.680 --> 01:48:20.720 unit from the dealer, is perfectly reasonable in all actuality. 1982 01:48:21.479 --> 01:48:22.399 You said it was just had. 1983 01:48:22.399 --> 01:48:25.159 Lights on though you weren't having any driveability problems. 1984 01:48:26.319 --> 01:48:28.520 Well, that's what's what's weird that it happened last night. 1985 01:48:28.640 --> 01:48:30.359 The Life sent me a. 1986 01:48:30.399 --> 01:48:33.520 Picture of the dashboard and had all the lights on. 1987 01:48:33.760 --> 01:48:34.600 It comes on like a cyst. 1988 01:48:36.039 --> 01:48:38.880 Yeah, it didn't have the check engine light though, but 1989 01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:42.800 it did have the ABS and have the VRC or 1990 01:48:42.880 --> 01:48:47.800 some VCR or something like that. It's the control module 1991 01:48:47.880 --> 01:48:50.600 or whatever. Anyway, I did some research and they said 1992 01:48:50.680 --> 01:48:53.439 it's possibly just a battery, So I actually replaced the 1993 01:48:53.439 --> 01:48:56.079 battery last night. It still came on as soon as 1994 01:48:56.079 --> 01:48:56.840 I put it in drive. 1995 01:48:57.039 --> 01:48:59.000 Yeah, but does it do any In other words, you 1996 01:48:59.079 --> 01:49:01.479 put it in driving, you drive and it acts perfect, 1997 01:49:01.560 --> 01:49:05.279 but the light's on. That's what Jeff's asking, correct, That 1998 01:49:05.479 --> 01:49:06.159 is exactly right. 1999 01:49:06.319 --> 01:49:09.319 There's a very high likelihood that you don't need a transmission. 2000 01:49:09.640 --> 01:49:12.159 We see a lot of soloid failures on them, but 2001 01:49:12.359 --> 01:49:14.439 change out valve bodies for being worn out, and that 2002 01:49:14.560 --> 01:49:17.640 fixes probably ninety percent of them. So you're looking, you know, 2003 01:49:17.800 --> 01:49:21.319 probably somewhere between about twenty two to twenty four hundred bucks. 2004 01:49:22.239 --> 01:49:25.159 Oh wow, Okay, I may have to go back and 2005 01:49:25.239 --> 01:49:27.359 tell them, let's let's look at that direction. 2006 01:49:27.520 --> 01:49:29.640 No, no, no, no, bring it over. If they're already 2007 01:49:29.680 --> 01:49:32.560 telling you, Brian, you need a transmission, and let's say 2008 01:49:32.720 --> 01:49:35.520 if you do, well, that's great, they did nothing wrong. 2009 01:49:35.760 --> 01:49:38.119 But if they're trying to sell you a transmission right 2010 01:49:38.199 --> 01:49:40.479 now and it might not need one, why would you 2011 01:49:40.640 --> 01:49:42.960 ask them for a second opinion? I mean, with the 2012 01:49:43.079 --> 01:49:45.560 exception you said they're right next door, why wouldn't you 2013 01:49:45.600 --> 01:49:46.600 bring it over to Jeff? 2014 01:49:47.640 --> 01:49:54.039 And that's true, right, condition right, that's yes, yes, Sarny, Hey. 2015 01:49:54.000 --> 01:49:58.039 Brian, Yes, Brian, I think Mark is right. Why don't 2016 01:49:58.079 --> 01:49:59.760 you bring it over, I mean, get a second opinion 2017 01:49:59.800 --> 01:50:01.039 from people we know and love. 2018 01:50:02.159 --> 01:50:05.720 Yeah, I agree, I'll have to uh, I mean it's 2019 01:50:05.760 --> 01:50:07.600 not being worked on at this point. He said he 2020 01:50:07.640 --> 01:50:09.720 had to go through the motions in order it sometime 2021 01:50:09.840 --> 01:50:10.199 next week. 2022 01:50:10.279 --> 01:50:12.439 If if it's a go, but watch. 2023 01:50:12.279 --> 01:50:15.800 Out what you invest in a twenty sixteen car. Just 2024 01:50:15.960 --> 01:50:19.159 please be mindful of the math when it comes to 2025 01:50:19.239 --> 01:50:20.960 a twenty sixteen car. 2026 01:50:21.119 --> 01:50:23.680 Hey, Jeff. In general, I don't care if it's this 2027 01:50:23.880 --> 01:50:27.319 vehicle or anything. If if a check engine's light on 2028 01:50:27.439 --> 01:50:31.079 and everything points to the transmission, but the transmission is 2029 01:50:31.239 --> 01:50:34.880 operating perfect, I mean, is it ever the transmission and 2030 01:50:34.960 --> 01:50:37.399 if so, what would it be Why why would it 2031 01:50:37.479 --> 01:50:39.479 act perfect but yet have the light. 2032 01:50:40.079 --> 01:50:42.239 If it is actually the transmission, you will have some 2033 01:50:42.359 --> 01:50:45.960 sort of driveability complaint. Something, something's going to be going on. Now. 2034 01:50:47.520 --> 01:50:50.800 If it's pointing at the transmission and everything's working great, 2035 01:50:50.840 --> 01:50:53.159 then yeah, you're right. The likelihood is you've got something 2036 01:50:53.199 --> 01:50:54.720 wrong in a circuit. 2037 01:50:54.760 --> 01:50:56.319 Or you know, TCU. 2038 01:50:56.840 --> 01:50:59.520 You could have a shared splice or shared ground that's 2039 01:50:59.560 --> 01:51:00.399 causing an issue. 2040 01:51:00.640 --> 01:51:06.960 Got it, okay, Brian, I gotta I want to bring 2041 01:51:07.119 --> 01:51:10.880 something up with you. Brian, by the way, is an exterminator. 2042 01:51:10.960 --> 01:51:11.720 He's a good guy. 2043 01:51:12.880 --> 01:51:13.000 Uh. 2044 01:51:13.239 --> 01:51:17.520 Stephanie calls him the mouse guy, and he got rid 2045 01:51:17.560 --> 01:51:20.880 of some stuff with us and he's really good stuff, 2046 01:51:21.000 --> 01:51:22.319 good guy. He knows you. 2047 01:51:22.520 --> 01:51:23.600 What did you guys have? 2048 01:51:25.279 --> 01:51:29.159 Well, we had an infiltration of little mice all of 2049 01:51:29.199 --> 01:51:32.000 a sudden. It never had him before. This was at 2050 01:51:32.039 --> 01:51:36.199 our other house and the Bonnie brayhouse, and I just 2051 01:51:36.319 --> 01:51:39.039 don't know why, but Brian found some little areas they 2052 01:51:39.039 --> 01:51:40.880 were getting in. He stopped it immediately. 2053 01:51:42.920 --> 01:51:43.119 God. 2054 01:51:43.239 --> 01:51:46.479 The thing I hated. I hated trapping him. I hated it. 2055 01:51:47.720 --> 01:51:49.600 The ones that were in the house. We had these lot, 2056 01:51:49.720 --> 01:51:52.600 these kind of traps that you know the hotels, not 2057 01:51:52.760 --> 01:51:56.039 the snappers, but are now they might have been a combination. 2058 01:51:56.119 --> 01:52:00.279 I don't want to get into it. But in any case, Ryan, 2059 01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:03.960 but there's one area where Stephanie and I want to 2060 01:52:04.000 --> 01:52:04.800 take issue with you. 2061 01:52:06.319 --> 01:52:06.479 Now. 2062 01:52:08.279 --> 01:52:10.399 And and I'm just kidding, kind of half kidding. 2063 01:52:10.520 --> 01:52:10.960 Listen to this. 2064 01:52:11.800 --> 01:52:13.399 Son was. 2065 01:52:14.960 --> 01:52:20.039 No, no, my stepson or Stephanie's son.

I think they've adapted to the 2098 01:54:06.560 --> 01:54:09.239 domestic life and that's what's causing them to stay alive 2099 01:54:09.239 --> 01:54:09.880 a little longer. 2100 01:54:10.239 --> 01:54:13.520 They're pampered, and again we were I don't want I 2101 01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:15.840 don't want Grift to feel like we're praying for them 2102 01:54:15.880 --> 01:54:22.000 to die or anything, but we are anyway, so domesticated rats, 2103 01:54:22.079 --> 01:54:26.640 they say on the very very outside it's three years, 2104 01:54:26.760 --> 01:54:32.239 but some with exceptional care, Oh dear Jesus, with exceptional 2105 01:54:32.319 --> 01:54:35.159 care can live four years, although. 2106 01:54:34.880 --> 01:54:35.760 It's very rare. 2107 01:54:36.800 --> 01:54:44.760 Yeah, and that is true.

You can get a difference. 2171 01:57:48.720 --> 01:57:49.319 What does that mean? 2172 01:57:50.279 --> 01:57:55.279 Uh, you're basically right. We have a federal link. 2173 01:57:55.159 --> 01:57:57.960 That allows the homeowner to get into that and get it. 2174 01:57:58.000 --> 01:58:00.399 And apply for a permit, and then you we would 2175 01:58:00.399 --> 01:58:02.600 be able to come out and set traps and we 2176 01:58:02.720 --> 01:58:04.560 stick them over the hole so when they fly into it, 2177 01:58:05.000 --> 01:58:06.680 they basically get caught and they're. 2178 01:58:06.520 --> 01:58:08.279 Done and that they. 2179 01:58:11.359 --> 01:58:12.600 Yeah, that's fatterally, that's. 2180 01:58:13.279 --> 01:58:15.399 No, no, no, But I mean, are are the woodpeckers 2181 01:58:15.479 --> 01:58:17.560 prevalent or is it just my neck of the woods, 2182 01:58:17.600 --> 01:58:18.720 because they're they're horrible. 2183 01:58:19.880 --> 01:58:20.720 What kind of do you have? 2184 01:58:20.880 --> 01:58:23.239 The big tall ones that are grayish with a little 2185 01:58:23.279 --> 01:58:26.239 red swash up on their head. Eric, exactly, Yeah, those 2186 01:58:26.279 --> 01:58:27.319 are northern flickers. 2187 01:58:27.399 --> 01:58:30.159 I want to tell you a true story, Brian. I 2188 01:58:30.239 --> 01:58:32.199 want to tell you a true story. Tell me or 2189 01:58:32.760 --> 01:58:34.840 it was told to me, and I want to know 2190 01:58:34.920 --> 01:58:37.520 if it could be true. A dear woman we know 2191 01:58:38.199 --> 01:58:41.159 heard noises in her addict. She kept putting it off. 2192 01:58:41.199 --> 01:58:43.399 Then she hears some noises in her wall and there 2193 01:58:43.439 --> 01:58:46.600 were there was a squirrel infestation that she tells us 2194 01:58:47.920 --> 01:58:51.039 cost her around twenty two thousand dollars in damage. 2195 01:58:51.239 --> 01:58:55.800 Is that possible it is if they neglected too long. Yes, 2196 01:58:56.800 --> 01:58:57.920 because what you have to do is you have to 2197 01:58:58.000 --> 01:59:01.640 remediate all the insulation out, take the down, removed it. 2198 01:59:01.720 --> 01:59:04.079 Depending on if there's a lot of dead carcasses in 2199 01:59:04.159 --> 01:59:08.840 there too, it's twenty two. Depending on how much they 2200 01:59:08.880 --> 01:59:09.520 had to get done. 2201 01:59:09.600 --> 01:59:11.600 I would have it was a big it's a big 2202 01:59:11.720 --> 01:59:15.560 it's a big house, big house. Okay, did they do 2203 01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:19.439 one of these big beautiful houses down in where was 2204 01:59:19.479 --> 01:59:22.359 the castle Pines? Do you think it was a dress pricing? 2205 01:59:24.479 --> 01:59:26.640 It could have been, because honestly, we go down there 2206 01:59:26.680 --> 01:59:28.840 all the time and we do a lot of that 2207 01:59:29.039 --> 01:59:31.079 clean out of insulation and addicts and. 2208 01:59:31.479 --> 01:59:33.720 What do you do the rebuilding too? Or just to 2209 01:59:33.800 --> 01:59:35.840 clean out? Do you do the rebuilding? 2210 01:59:36.600 --> 01:59:38.920 We can, depending on how severe it is. If it's 2211 01:59:39.399 --> 01:59:41.920 like we do stucco match as best as we can. 2212 01:59:43.000 --> 01:59:45.479 We we can do if we want a perfect patch 2213 01:59:45.560 --> 01:59:49.319 on something, Yeah, it'll take a little bit more time. 2214 01:59:50.239 --> 01:59:50.439 Mark. 2215 01:59:50.600 --> 01:59:54.039 Do you think like American Restoration does something like that. 2216 01:59:54.600 --> 01:59:58.279 I don't think they get into vermits. I don't think so, man, 2217 01:59:58.840 --> 02:00:01.359 I mean they would go in in not maybe the eradication. 2218 02:00:01.600 --> 02:00:04.479 But I was thinking no, no, no, I'm not talking 2219 02:00:04.479 --> 02:00:08.159 about that, the eradication or even the finding of it. 2220 02:00:08.520 --> 02:00:11.600 I was thinking maybe of the aftermath the damages. 2221 02:00:11.840 --> 02:00:14.600 But I would think you're calling like a best way 2222 02:00:14.680 --> 02:00:17.399 insulation or someone to get up there. Fit's an addict, 2223 02:00:17.720 --> 02:00:20.039 don't I don't know what Rock would do there. I'm 2224 02:00:20.079 --> 02:00:21.960 sure he could do it, but I don't think that's 2225 02:00:22.000 --> 02:00:25.119 their wheelhouse. Notice how I threw in the wheelhouse. 2226 02:00:26.600 --> 02:00:31.600 I like that. We'll actually go in and we do 2227 02:00:31.760 --> 02:00:36.079 remove insulation, but then we also advise the customer to 2228 02:00:36.239 --> 02:00:38.960 get it reinsulated because we won't do the insulation at 2229 02:00:39.000 --> 02:00:39.399 this point. 2230 02:00:40.279 --> 02:00:41.880 Do you have any dwarfs that work for you in 2231 02:00:41.960 --> 02:00:45.800 the small spaces anyway?

We've had two three roots in the last 2270 02:02:48.039 --> 02:02:52.640 two years and try to fix that are covered up 2271 02:02:52.720 --> 02:02:55.359 next to you know, they're back and we know they're 2272 02:02:55.399 --> 02:02:59.000 famerly protected. And I heard that you just have someone 2273 02:02:59.079 --> 02:03:00.800 that may have a light can trap them. 2274 02:03:02.079 --> 02:03:03.760 Yeah, in fact he might still be on. 2275 02:03:06.000 --> 02:03:07.279 May return every year. 2276 02:03:07.920 --> 02:03:09.800 Well I don't think he traps them. Baby, Well, why 2277 02:03:09.840 --> 02:03:10.800 don't you call Brian. 2278 02:03:11.119 --> 02:03:12.800 Why don't you call Brian and he can tell you 2279 02:03:12.880 --> 02:03:15.720 how to do it legally and ethically. Listen, you know 2280 02:03:15.800 --> 02:03:18.680 what one time somebody told me, listen to this, Oh, 2281 02:03:18.800 --> 02:03:21.159 you can't do anything to them, so you have to 2282 02:03:21.199 --> 02:03:23.880 put up these owl decoys. That keeps them away. So 2283 02:03:24.520 --> 02:03:27.279 they send me a picture of their house, and their 2284 02:03:27.319 --> 02:03:29.840 house looks uglier than if they had the woodpeckers because 2285 02:03:29.840 --> 02:03:32.439 they have these owl decoys all over their beautiful stucco. 2286 02:03:32.960 --> 02:03:35.840 And by the way, as I understand it, they don't 2287 02:03:35.840 --> 02:03:40.159 go after the actual stucco itself, but they go after 2288 02:03:40.319 --> 02:03:44.199 the drive it or the synthetic stucco that is on 2289 02:03:44.359 --> 02:03:46.039 the trim and all of that. Is that true? 2290 02:03:47.680 --> 02:03:50.920 Yes, right above the trim the tram gives to sit on. 2291 02:03:51.479 --> 02:03:53.760 Why, well, it's not. 2292 02:03:53.920 --> 02:03:57.119 Just something to sit on. It's softer. It's softer. The 2293 02:03:57.239 --> 02:04:00.479 trim is usually over a foam and it's not a 2294 02:04:00.600 --> 02:04:04.880 hard stucco, but the hard code itself on your flat walls. 2295 02:04:05.279 --> 02:04:07.800 Do they ever do that on your flat walls? 2296 02:04:09.560 --> 02:04:12.960 Yes, And they are where the chimney is, so it's 2297 02:04:13.000 --> 02:04:15.079 been closed. They can't get in the attic, but they 2298 02:04:15.119 --> 02:04:17.920 can get into that box around the chimney. 2299 02:04:17.960 --> 02:04:19.239 Hey, let's get Brian back. 2300 02:04:20.079 --> 02:04:20.239 Yeah. 2301 02:04:20.319 --> 02:04:23.239 What Brian said about him was it was pretty simple. 2302 02:04:23.359 --> 02:04:26.680 He can direct her to the website, the government website. 2303 02:04:27.000 --> 02:04:30.159 You fill out a form and then basically they issue 2304 02:04:30.199 --> 02:04:33.079 a death warrant for the birds and then Brian will 2305 02:04:33.119 --> 02:04:34.800 come out Mark take care of the birds. 2306 02:04:36.319 --> 02:04:42.119 No, but I'm talking about the destruction. What's that? 2307 02:04:43.199 --> 02:04:43.359 Oh? 2308 02:04:43.880 --> 02:04:45.760 I was wondering what Brod's company is. 2309 02:04:47.359 --> 02:04:50.479 I know, I don't know. My wife has it. Mark, 2310 02:04:50.560 --> 02:04:52.239 he's not on the referral list, right, I mean we 2311 02:04:52.359 --> 02:04:54.520 he just happened to call in one time and he 2312 02:04:54.680 --> 02:04:57.199 was so busy on certain things. 2313 02:04:58.039 --> 02:04:58.800 But I'll find it. 2314 02:04:59.119 --> 02:05:04.239 I'll find it. Yeah, So here's the deal, though, I'm 2315 02:05:04.479 --> 02:05:10.399 mainly interested in the damage they can do. Is it 2316 02:05:10.560 --> 02:05:13.039 on only the trim or can they do it on 2317 02:05:13.119 --> 02:05:14.119 the regular hard coat? 2318 02:05:14.920 --> 02:05:15.800 And maybe. 2319 02:05:17.000 --> 02:05:22.039 Maybe Mark Schamansky can answer that too. And Shannon, No, yeah, no, 2320 02:05:22.520 --> 02:05:26.279 that's dragon Dragon. I don't understand the goat sounds. Now, 2321 02:05:26.359 --> 02:05:30.039 that's totally not even in the same ballpark here, bro 2322 02:05:30.159 --> 02:05:33.920 what are you trying to do if you want, if 2323 02:05:33.960 --> 02:05:34.439 you want. 2324 02:05:34.279 --> 02:05:36.479 To hear what's coming from her house. She's got a 2325 02:05:36.560 --> 02:05:40.039 dog and a goat. We should have we should have 2326 02:05:40.279 --> 02:05:44.680 woodpecker sounds. You don't have. Its actually shocked that you 2327 02:05:44.800 --> 02:05:45.600 haven't killed me. 2328 02:05:47.920 --> 02:05:49.600 Over what too? 2329 02:05:52.479 --> 02:05:56.920 I love that.

Oh now, one of 2383 02:09:24.520 --> 02:09:29.199 my favorite early TV shows. And uh, I was only 2384 02:09:29.279 --> 02:09:31.800 in my I was like three or four. Then I 2385 02:09:31.880 --> 02:09:35.239 started watching it. I kept watching the worst produced show 2386 02:09:35.359 --> 02:09:39.840 in history, the worst acting, the worst lines, the worst 2387 02:09:40.319 --> 02:09:44.880 everything there is. You could not get worse than this show. 2388 02:09:45.680 --> 02:09:48.920 But my god, did I love it. So I wanted 2389 02:09:48.960 --> 02:09:51.039 a lot of happy thoughts it. At night, I'm looking 2390 02:09:51.079 --> 02:09:53.680 at these old shows, but even this one, I can't 2391 02:09:53.720 --> 02:09:55.680 take too much of it, although I used to love it. 2392 02:09:56.000 --> 02:09:58.880 And that's the Adventures of Superman. Those old black and 2393 02:09:58.960 --> 02:10:03.199 white Oh oh man, are they terrible? But so much, 2394 02:10:05.680 --> 02:10:09.039 Oh Mark, it is so silly and stupid now and 2395 02:10:09.159 --> 02:10:11.720 then Christopher what was his name? 2396 02:10:11.800 --> 02:10:12.640 Christopher Reeves. 2397 02:10:12.880 --> 02:10:16.760 Christopher Reeves was the character, which is so weird because 2398 02:10:16.760 --> 02:10:19.479 the newest character was Chris Reeves, right, or the one 2399 02:10:19.520 --> 02:10:23.600 of the latest later characters. But anyway, oh wait, wait 2400 02:10:23.680 --> 02:10:25.960 wait George, I'm sorry, you're right man, it was George 2401 02:10:26.000 --> 02:10:29.479 ree You're right. Christopher is the one that was paralyzing 2402 02:10:29.600 --> 02:10:35.079 and then died later. But George Reeves committed suicide and 2403 02:10:35.239 --> 02:10:41.640 then also on the program. Though they're the worst, but 2404 02:10:41.800 --> 02:10:44.840 I actually you have to buy it on Amazon. Uh, 2405 02:10:45.039 --> 02:10:45.600 they're not free. 2406 02:10:45.680 --> 02:10:46.279 So I bought it. 2407 02:10:46.600 --> 02:10:50.319 But I had two other old shows that I absolutely 2408 02:10:50.640 --> 02:10:53.600 positively love and now, because I want a lot of 2409 02:10:53.640 --> 02:10:57.239 positive energy, I listened to them at night and fall 2410 02:10:57.319 --> 02:11:02.279 Asleep is uh Andy Griffith or Andy Griffin? 2411 02:11:02.439 --> 02:11:04.399 Right Griffin or Griffith Griffith? 2412 02:11:05.159 --> 02:11:08.800 Yeah, Andy of Mayberry, You know god, what a funny, 2413 02:11:09.399 --> 02:11:12.239 easy going show.

They won't take submissions. They go out 2442 02:12:43.079 --> 02:12:46.079 and find him, but it's called ridiculousness, and then they 2443 02:12:46.159 --> 02:12:48.359 have themes. I like it, I really do. I have 2444 02:12:48.479 --> 02:12:51.439 to admit that. And so the other one. I mean, 2445 02:12:52.079 --> 02:12:54.000 you know, I'm giving away all this crap, but that 2446 02:12:54.199 --> 02:12:57.000 that's a fun show and it is ridiculous and I 2447 02:12:57.079 --> 02:12:58.000 love ridiculousness. 2448 02:12:58.079 --> 02:12:58.760 So there it is. 2449 02:12:59.079 --> 02:13:03.520 Let's talk to Lenny has a Corvette transmission question. Go ahead, Lenny, 2450 02:13:03.560 --> 02:13:04.159 what's happening. 2451 02:13:06.279 --> 02:13:09.319 Yeah, I just wanted to run something by your bench 2452 02:13:09.399 --> 02:13:10.439 mission expert. 2453 02:13:10.520 --> 02:13:10.640 There. 2454 02:13:10.680 --> 02:13:16.039 I got a twenty one Corvette. It's got that new 2455 02:13:16.199 --> 02:13:20.159 dual clutch transmission in it, and there's so much stuff 2456 02:13:20.239 --> 02:13:23.119 going on about when to get serviced. But the Chevy 2457 02:13:23.199 --> 02:13:27.279 book says they want the oil changed in that transmission 2458 02:13:27.359 --> 02:13:31.840 every three years or forty five thousand miles, and they 2459 02:13:31.960 --> 02:13:36.840 also have a DCT filter that they say it changed 2460 02:13:36.920 --> 02:13:41.279 before seventy five hundred miles. So I've called about three 2461 02:13:41.399 --> 02:13:45.720 Chevy dealers, and every Chevy dealer will quote you a 2462 02:13:45.880 --> 02:13:49.920 different price and different things they want to do with that. 2463 02:13:50.560 --> 02:13:52.960 I just wondering, if you're expert, if they do the 2464 02:13:53.079 --> 02:13:56.039 C eight transmission and what they recommend it. 2465 02:13:56.720 --> 02:13:59.279 Well, we really don't see a whole lot of any 2466 02:13:59.279 --> 02:14:01.159 of them. I've got a little experience with them, but 2467 02:14:02.079 --> 02:14:04.359 you know, typically I recommend every three years or thirty 2468 02:14:04.399 --> 02:14:07.319 six thousand miles and quite frankly, I would include that 2469 02:14:07.560 --> 02:14:08.720 filter with each interval. 2470 02:14:10.640 --> 02:14:13.880 Okay, because this this car's got three thousand miles on it. 2471 02:14:14.359 --> 02:14:20.079 So Wow recommended changing a fluid even though it's not 2472 02:14:20.199 --> 02:14:23.960 even close to the forty five thousand miles. So I 2473 02:14:24.079 --> 02:14:28.000 guess that the best thing is just to change it. 2474 02:14:28.800 --> 02:14:32.000 I guess they're also worried about the moisture being absorbed 2475 02:14:32.000 --> 02:14:33.600 from the air, which isn't too much of a problem 2476 02:14:33.640 --> 02:14:35.920 here in Colorado because we're a pretty dry climate. But 2477 02:14:36.039 --> 02:14:39.000 the fluid will absorb moisture over time and break the 2478 02:14:39.039 --> 02:14:39.600 fluid down. 2479 02:14:40.000 --> 02:14:41.279 Explain a double clutch. 2480 02:14:41.920 --> 02:14:44.640 It's literally what it sounds like. So you've got to 2481 02:14:44.960 --> 02:14:48.359 automatically controlled clutches by the computer. So it's the transmision 2482 02:14:48.359 --> 02:14:50.920 mission itself is actually two transmission side by side. 2483 02:14:51.039 --> 02:14:51.279 Wow. 2484 02:14:51.479 --> 02:14:53.319 One side one, three, five, so on and so forth, 2485 02:14:53.359 --> 02:14:56.039 the other side two for so it'll actually engage that 2486 02:14:56.119 --> 02:14:58.279 could you know, Disengage one side, engage the other and 2487 02:14:58.359 --> 02:14:58.760 it will. 2488 02:14:58.840 --> 02:15:01.479 Self shift inside WO, I say it for more. 2489 02:15:01.840 --> 02:15:04.479 There's a performance aspect, purely performed. 2490 02:15:04.520 --> 02:15:07.479 Do the new ones do that? Do the twenty twenty 2491 02:15:07.560 --> 02:15:08.119 fives do that? 2492 02:15:08.359 --> 02:15:12.800 To the better part of my knowledge? So but Chevy's 2493 02:15:12.840 --> 02:15:15.560 not the only one doing that. They've come out in Hyundai, 2494 02:15:15.560 --> 02:15:16.920 They've come out in Audi Ford. 2495 02:15:19.760 --> 02:15:22.680 Okay, all right, very cool. So you guys, don't you 2496 02:15:22.720 --> 02:15:25.000 would you would not change your oil on that transmission. 2497 02:15:25.079 --> 02:15:26.640 Just take it to a Chevy dealer and is that 2498 02:15:26.720 --> 02:15:27.119 what you're doing. 2499 02:15:27.239 --> 02:15:29.000 Yeah, I'd probably recommend that they're going to have it, 2500 02:15:29.239 --> 02:15:30.960 have the stuff on hand. I don't see enough of 2501 02:15:31.000 --> 02:15:32.680 them more. I'm gonna be able to be competitive because 2502 02:15:32.680 --> 02:15:34.560 I'm just gonna have to buy everything straight from the dealer. 2503 02:15:36.159 --> 02:15:38.920 Okay, all right, So I appreciate your help. 2504 02:15:39.079 --> 02:15:42.840 Thank you, Thank you man, appreciate you calling.
