Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Ripped up news needs when you don't have corning. Just
as fast as we can, Shooter's gonna help.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Come Man Dix is the Troubleshooter Show.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
No Tom Martine, Hey, hey, hey Tom Martino here solving problems,
answering questions, taking flanks, making your life a little easier.
If you're streaming, you'll see on the wide shot here
I Nick Fox with me from renew Home Innovations. We're
gonna be talking to Nick in a minute. We're also
gonna talk anything to do with your house and home

(00:42):
coming up for springtime. Nick's quite a handy man. Any
any questions on the house, you have anything, and we
can get our experts or answer them. But there are
a lot of people right now venturing outside. They actually
sit out there in the evening. Some people are doing
cook house already. Now winter's not over. We know how
it works when summer, winter, spring, winter, spring, spring, fall, winter, winter, spring, summer,

(01:04):
and then we get to summer. So we will get there.
But there might be projects you want to do around
your house, and so many people turn to this time
of year to do that. Three O three seven one
three eight two five five. Although I'd venture to say
there are when do you get the best deals that
it's certain things. I'd venture to say that even though
people say always buy against the demand, that you wouldn't

(01:27):
have great deals in the winter for air conditioning. Now,
I know you would think, well, that's a great time,
they're not working, but it's also an off time for
the manufacturers and distributors. And I'll bet you nick that
if you went to buy an air conditioner, try to
make a screaming deal in the middle of winter, it
wouldn't be best. It wouldn't be a good time to buy.
Do you think it would be ye? Well, well, certainly
if if I went to a guy. Though now listen

(01:50):
now to look carefully, they're really busy with furnaces. It's
the middle of winter, and I want to buy an AC.
I'm thinking, I don't know. I'm thinking it's a diversion,
and it may not be. I think just when it
is cool, or just when it's starting to get warmer,
or just right now. Maybe for AC right now. But

(02:11):
do you think in the middle of winter it would
be a good time.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
The only reason I would say it would be a
good time is because people it's not in their it's
not in their their frame of mind, they're not thinking
about it, and so companies are probably going to try
to move their productor or at least use it as
an incentive to sell the product that they want to
sell them like the first.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Do you think, but don't you think? Sometimes like there
are more incentives when the seasons are with us, right,
more AC incentives during hot weather, more furnace in some
Now I'm not necessarying you wait to the peak of
heat and buy air conditioning, don't do it, or the
peak of the cold to buy a furnace. You buy
an off seasons, but not necessarily in the middle of
one hot season. What I mean is this, if you

(02:51):
have a deep freeze and furnace, people are going out
the out their noseworking. It's a distraction to do AC.
They wouldn't even do it, and the priceis would be outrageous.
So I would say avoid the peaks of each season
to buy anything, and then do the shoulder seasons where
it's not too hot or not too cold for all
of the rest. Now, when it comes from remodeling, I've

(03:13):
always tried to track my people on the list, and
you certainly have been with me a long time. Renew
Home Innovations dot Com. When it comes to remodeling, what
you do bathrooms? Is there a busy season or not?
You know, we're kind of in our busy season right now.
What makes it busy? I think people are wanting to
refresh in their home.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
So after the first you get busy, right. It's really interesting.
We have really two seasons. September through November time frame
is for the holidays, Yeah, for the holidays. Okay, So
you have the pre holiday season and the pre summer, yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
And then the is it dead during the summer it
gets slower? Is that when they can get a good
deal from you, a great deal.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
We do have some pretty good incentives to buy during
that time frame because you know, obviously when you have
more demand, you know, you don't have to affect Yeah,
and you have.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
To keep your promise. You do things for two three days,
not two or three months. Absolutely, and that's one thing
people like. Okay, So I want to ask you this
because this is the this is the poor topic when
it comes to all of your businesses, whether it's heating
and err or everything. Financing people a lot of them
need financing.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Nick I would say seventy five percent of the agreements
that we have with consumers are finest.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Now do you find the financing? Yeah, we provide the
financing form. You do tell me the numbers. Can you
tell me some numbers or not? In reference to financing?
What are you doing for people? Now? Then they have
to is it a second is it a line of credit?
What is it?

Speaker 4 (04:45):
It's it's stage funny, So it's it's it's very much
like going to Best Buy in Okay.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
So there's no security, there's no there's no real real problems.
It's name okay, And so what what do you get
any period of time with no interests like you used
to do?

Speaker 4 (05:01):
That is I mean, I would say probably eighty five
percent of our customers take advantage of the twelve months
no no payments, no interest.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
And you had even you had an insane deal at
one time, right for no interest.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
And we still we still offer some pretty incredible financing programs.
It does seem like most people just want time to
get it through the completion of the project.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
So the twelve months no no seems to be the
most attractive twelve months no interest Okay, yeah, all right,
and that's renew Home innovations when he's not here. Three
oh three nine zero four two thousand. Robert has a
question on the I seventy toll road. Hey, Robert, welcome
to the show. What's going on? Tom?

Speaker 5 (05:40):
I was driving Westune I seventy to a hospital on
the western slope, and the tolling is closed on weekdays.
It's only open on weekday weekends, will like Friday, Saturday,
Sunday for the ski traffic.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah? Certain, Do you mean the do you mean the
real fast lane? Right?

Speaker 5 (05:59):
Yeah, the tolling the express lane westbound about the twin tells,
I'm just currious. Why don't they leave it open all
the time? Why do they only have it open on Friday, Saturday.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
Sunday not all the time?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
If anybody? That is a damn good question. I don't
know why. I don't know why we can find out.
Is this like under the auspices of Is this under
the auspices of four seventy four seventy?

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Yes, since I think it's the same company as Express
Hole E four seventy and the other express hole lanes.
And I'm just curious that they have to pay more
insurance when it's opened, and then.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
If it doesn't get enough try.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
You know, it's not like they're using it for anything else, right, correct,
I'm just Mark, Do you have any ideas? I was wondering?
Is Mark signed on? I didn't hear. We don't know.
I'm just okay, Well, I just wondered. We're gonna find

(07:01):
out any ideas? Nick, I don't. I've often wondered the
same thing. I know, this is crazy. You know what
we're gonna call them.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
I was permitted to use it because I was driving
an emergency vehicle using lights and sirens. I thought, well,
why I can use it?

Speaker 7 (07:18):
Why can't other people?

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. When
it was closed? What do you mean it was closed?
The gates were up.

Speaker 8 (07:27):
Drawn right, No, there are no gates on that.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Then why didn't you just okay? Then why can't people
use it? Who says this closed?

Speaker 5 (07:39):
Well, the big red.

Speaker 8 (07:40):
Action says this closed and stuffing like that.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
Okay, so there's no actual barrier. Now I have permission
to use it when I'm taking something lights and sirens westbound,
like to a hospital in the Grand Junction or wherever,
and I did just a couple of days ago. But
I'm just curious why they don't have it open all
the time. It was nice because I got to go
through expeditiously without having to compel people in the sunning

(08:06):
Number one of the regular eye Sevin did have to
move out of the way, so worked out very well.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
I'm just curious why it's not open all.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
The time, you know what, that's a good point. I
I can't tell you the answer to that, but but
I I do thank you. You know we're gonna find
out for you for damn sure. I mean, I mean,
that's a good question. Why is it like that?

Speaker 6 (08:32):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Have you tried calling him?

Speaker 6 (08:35):
Have you?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
You have never tried calling him and asking I.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Did, and the girl was not able to answer. She's
the girl with whom I spoke just kept repeating.

Speaker 9 (08:43):
The same thing.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
It's open on weekends and holidays, the close weekdays. And
I know that I'm asking why and she couldn't answer.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
So well, Tony, Tony, you have a comment. What's your comment? Tony?

Speaker 10 (09:00):
I guess, but I think it might be related to
the Floyd Hill construction project and the fact that the
toll lane starts there and Monday to Thursday. They've got
too much construction going on. Uh, and they want to
keep it closed for construction access.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
That's just a guess, okay, just practical stuff, Hey, Kachina,
See if we can get somebody from four to seventy
to answer the question why is express toll lane closed
at certain times? I mean, and is it consistently closed
when you drive there?

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Robert, whenever I'm driving there is often closed, but the
it's after the check and.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
When is it? What is that? Is it a certain day,
a certain time, certain day or certain time?

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Anytime it's a weekday, it's closed. I've noticed that I
can go there any time, day or night. It's closed
on weekdays but open on the ski traffic on weekends.
And I'm just curiously, okay if it's an insurance issue,
because yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Okay, I always thought it was closed to you could
just drive it. But I know nothing about this. I
don't drive them that much anymore. But we're gonna find out.
We're calling them and we're going to ask them about it.
Three oh three seven one three eight two five five

had the comment correct the common sense comment? If so,

Speaker 3 (11:16):
They're really nice people. Hey, Tom Martino, you're a troubleshooter.
So Nick over here also was telling me on E
four seventy now and on those other things. Man, he's
getting tired of that, but he's getting tickets for laying changes. Right.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, even if you barely, you know, your tire barely
goes over that white line, you can get a take.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Why do they do that, Shannon? Is that to keep
you from going in and out of the express lane
and being charged? Is that why they're doing that? I
think it is because they are I think maybe I
was asking dragon. He was a hip on it. You
never drive out there, do you? Shannon? On toll roads?
I don't think. Actually, they don't let horse they don't

(11:55):
let horsen. He's actually on another line, but I can
tell you that I think it's a money grub. Hey,
it kind of is, but I don't know it is
it is, but maybe they say this will keep people
from using from misusing the speed lane. Hey, Will, no way,

(12:16):
Let's go to Ronnie or should I know? Let's say
on comment of four seventy right now? I'm sorry, so
are Will and Dean? Two new comments on four seventy?

Speaker 8 (12:24):
They are?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Okay, Will? What do you have to say about four
seventy and the tolls? Or I say, or wherever they
have them? I can hear him in the background. Is
he not up? Will? I guess we got to go
on to someone else? I'm sorry? Will, Dean? Go ahead? Dean?

Speaker 9 (13:12):
Who?

Speaker 3 (13:12):
What's your name. What okay, go.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
Ahead, Yes, Tom, This is Dean.

Speaker 11 (13:17):
So I happen to live up in the mountains and
it's on I seventy that I believe the initial topic
was talking about not being allowed to.

Speaker 8 (13:25):
Drive in the express lane during the week Yeah, and
I believe it.

Speaker 11 (13:29):
Why I believe it, actually, I believe it actually has
to do it's the construction of the highway. The express
lane is considered a shoulder and it's not designed for
consistent use throughout the year. So they utilize it now
and then on the weekend for the ski traffic, but
during the regular week they want to keep the traffic

(13:50):
off of it because it is actually considered a shoulder
that they've turned into an express lane.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
That makes sense to me. So it's really, in other words,
instead of looking at it that the toll lanes are
shut down on the weekends, what they're saying is they're
opening up the shoulders on weekend, excuse me, on weekends,
and that those are those are not closed on weekdays.
They're just normal. They're a normal shoulder.

Speaker 11 (14:13):
Correct, Correct, it's just a normal shoulder. In the event
you have to pull off because you have a fat
tire vehicle, now function. It's designed for that. It's not
designed for consistent road use where people are driving on
it got back and forth consistently.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I love it. I've always said I have smart I
have smart callers. I'll tell you that. Bob has a
comment on lane change tickets.

Speaker 6 (14:38):
Bob, Hey, Tom, I'll tell you why. Yes, they're making money,
but the whole purpose, and my wife works with them
as their own profit, is because of the amount of
accidents they happen when people jump in and out of
that lane and normal people are staying in it doing
the street limit. People are weaving it out of it.
It's worse on seventy. But that's why they put that actor,

(15:00):
because there's been too many accents and people just jumping
over there when cars are doing the normal speed back
and forth.

Speaker 12 (15:07):
That's what they initially put that in the board. Yes,
they made money, but that's why they did it. We
got that right from seat and newsletters.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Really, so they just talk I'm going down there, I'm
going down there the fast light or that whatever you
call it, it's something lane and I can tell you
at least twenty times if it's happened once, somebody will
be in that fast lighting and they'll just jump over
right in front of them, and people have been getting hit.
We're in getting a hit because of people doing that,

(15:38):
so they're trying to run slow down.

Speaker 12 (15:40):
The steed l another two ten people from doing that
to one an accidents that if that happened.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Okay, Bob, how you are Bob on my referral list
from l em Landscaping. While I have you on the phone,
are people starting to ramp up? And are you starting
to get the calls now? Because I was talking about

Speaker 9 (17:11):
They came out replace the solar panel with their workers,
damaged my roof and in turn damaged the inside of
my roof because they didn't tell me. And when that
heillstorm came last summer, it damaged it.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
And they Okay, I got a few questions for you.
I know where Hey, hey Ronnie, I know where you're
going with this. I got to ask a few questions.
Why did Tesla? Why was Tesla called there.

Speaker 9 (17:42):
To replaced?

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Was this a normal was this a normal repairing maintenance?
Was it under warranty or did you just pay to
have them replaced?

Speaker 9 (17:55):
It was maintenance, but I still I had to pay
like seven hundred dollars to have it replaced.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
But are you leasing the system from Tesla right now?

Speaker 6 (18:11):
There? Now?

Speaker 9 (18:13):
I'm I'm not leasing it.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
It's a loan, okay, So you're buying it. And as
part of it though, it's under warranty. So Tesla took
care of some of it under warranty, and some of
it you had to pay. I got it. So Tesla
replaced how many panels? What one panel? And you said

(18:42):
they did something wrong? What did they do wrong?

Speaker 9 (18:46):
They damaged my roof? They put holes in.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
My room now okay, and they damaged it. And how
much is it going to cost to fix?

Speaker 9 (18:58):
It's not the cost like around twelve and they're just
trying to pay me three thousand. That's not going to
be okay.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Where did you get Where did you get twelve thousand
damages estimate?

Speaker 9 (19:15):
From people coming out roof and companies coming out giving
their estimate. I gave those estimates to Tesla and then
the ladies playing games with me, tyling me I only
see one single missing, No, lady, I'm showing you pictures

know how much are you suing for.

Speaker 9 (19:48):
What it takes to fix my roof? Twelve?

Speaker 3 (19:54):

what I'm wondering. Okay, here's what I'm just wondering out loud.
Are they bettering you? How old is that roof? I
need to know in general.

Speaker 9 (20:10):
When I got in there seven years ago, it was
brand new because the sales Okay.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Got it, so we don't have a problem an age.
Was there any problem with that area before Tesla messed
with it? No?

Speaker 9 (20:26):
Nothing.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Okay, you are not sounding unreasonable to me at all,
and they just flat shot you down.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
Yeah, because they sent me a proposal it looked like
three thousand and something. I said, no, I'm not going
to accept that because that's not gonna take care of

two zero sixteen twenty two. Hi, Top Marchino, you're troubleshooter
Major Mark Major is with us, by the way, He's

(22:48):
just on the other line on the phone, and we
have this very weird situation. I want to ask Brooke
about and then I want to ask our insurance people. Now,
first I'm going to ask the insurance people. Brian Burns
Compass Insurance Group. Remember home of the free insurance checkup
always and it's always good to do that. Three h

(23:10):
three nine nine x nine thousand, nine nine six nine thousand. Okay, So, Brian,
if I had a solar system and one of the
panels went bad and the solar company replaced it and
in doing so damaged my roof, and they're fighting with
me about it. But I have legit estimates that there

(23:32):
was twelve thousand dollars in damage. If that's true, If
everything I'm saying is true, would Homeowner's insurance cover Ronnie
for that incompetent repair person.

Speaker 8 (23:46):
No, No, that would not be a covered peril because
that would be why Brian, why, Well, because it has
to be one of the perils of the policy, which
is going to be something like a kale, some kind
of storm that's called damage. Not a contractor up there
walking around or someone.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
What if a vandal? What if a vandal? Okay, but
vandalism would be covered, right.

Speaker 8 (24:10):
Yep, vandalism could be covered. Yep, that is true. Yep,
but that's not vandalism obviously that would be just.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
No, no, I get you. But it won't cover the
incompetence of a worker.

Speaker 8 (24:23):
No, no, you would have to rely on the workers insurance.
They should have general liability that would cover them with us.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Okay, so let's ask about that, Ronnie. Did you ask
about their insurance? Who are you dealing with? Who are
you dealing with? Was it actually Tesla that did it?

Speaker 14 (24:45):
Yes?

Speaker 15 (24:48):
What?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
What? Who was the subcontractor? Are you talking to somebody
that I should just talk to directly because this relay
stuff is not working. Put them on hold, lot, Ronnie.
Let's see, I'd like to get an expert on about Oh,
there's Brook right now. Thank you, Brian Burns, home of
the Insurance check Up the Insurance Health Center dot com. Now, Brooke,

(25:14):
you heard the situation? What's up? He had to pay
seven hundred dollars to Tesla? It was under warranty, but
he had to pay seven hundred I don't know why,
and they did damage to the roof. How is Tesla
to deal.

Speaker 15 (25:28):
With as far as like any warranty claims or just
dealing with them on issues that they have on their end.
They're pretty difficult to work with because they're so big.
They're almost like working with like a Walmart or somebody
that's of that size. Were you usually on hold for
about four to five hours to get a hold of

(25:49):
somebody transfer this?

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Oh oh my god? But what wow?

Speaker 15 (25:54):
Once that happens, it's pretty quick. So once you finally
get through kind of the logistics, they usually send out
the new parts pretty immediately, so you would have them
within a week.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Okay, but what about damages? Damages that's a different thing.
It's money. Have you ever dealt with Tesla? Where they
they Where? Do they have actual installation crews because he's
saying it's one of their installation crews or do they
sub out?

Speaker 7 (26:23):
They do both.

Speaker 15 (26:24):
They have their own installation crews here in Colorado, but
then there's also certified Tesla installers like myself who can
do the work. So it just depends on exactly who
went out there.

Speaker 8 (26:34):
And what that looks like, because both would be I.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Want to ask you somebody broke. Do you know are
you on a speaking terms with any of your managers
in Tesla?

Speaker 7 (26:45):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Could you ask them as a favor say this that
you know somebody called and has a Tesla system and
there's no problem with the system. But recently when they
replaced a panel, they roof damage and they're just not
They're not sending out anyone or did they send someone out,
Ronnie to look at it?

Speaker 9 (27:13):
I sent uh moving companies out to give that the
mints and pictures.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
But no, I'm asking you. I'm asking you a simple question.
Did did they send someone out? No, sir, then where
did they come up with the three thousand dollars.

Speaker 9 (27:35):
They sell?

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Okay? Can I ask you something out of just total curiosity.
The brains of the operation is not on the phone,
So why don't you put the brains of the operation
on the phone and then we don't have to do
this relay? Hey, Hey, you in the background. I don't
know who you are? Is she or is it your wife? Ronnie?

Speaker 9 (28:01):
No, I'm gonna work.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh oh oh, I'm sorry, I might be confusing. Is
someone giving you the answers to give to me or
are you doing it on your own? Oh?

Speaker 9 (28:13):
My own, I'm at work, that's the television.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Then I apologize. I apologize, Ronnie. I thought your wife
was in the background giving you the what's up? But
it's okay. You know what, Ronnie, we are going to
get We are going to get you some action. Brooke.
Could you kindly maybe ask someone to look into this problem?

Speaker 15 (28:39):
Yeah, yeah, that's not a problem.

Speaker 6 (28:40):
I guess.

Speaker 15 (28:41):
My first question before we go down this road road though,
is are there photos of the roof prior to the
fix or the warranty claim on the back panel available?
How are they saying that it's that it's Tesla that
damaged it or whoever came out to fix right right?

Speaker 3 (28:59):
What kind of proof do you have.

Speaker 9 (29:05):
Before they went out? My company that I had just
got to hold up the the homeowners insurance, hippo insurance,
which I don't have hippo insurance right.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Now, I have, Ronnie, get to the point, brother, All
we need to know is do you have any condition
reports before this happened?

Speaker 9 (29:32):
Yeah? Because the insurance company, the homeowner's insurance, and he
didn't have no claim, no nothing.

Speaker 15 (29:41):
Yeah, So it's not necessarily the claim. It's just to
make sure it's going through. Tom. I can definitely reach
out to the folks at Tesla. If it was a sub,
we're required to help uphold a certain standard, so Tesla
will put pressure on the sub if it was a
sub that did the work, If it was them themselves,
I don't give you a response back once they hear

(30:01):
from that.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, Ronnie, don't don't labor yourself any longer.
Get back to your job. Let me guess you're an
air traffic controller. No, I'm just kidding, all right. Now,
what I want to do is have Deputy Bow, Deputy
Bow front and center, sir, all right, Bow, Oh, ask

(30:24):
Bo to take this on and cut through the red tape.
It sounds to me like it sounds to me like
we can't get the answer from Ronnie. But I need
to know did Tesla send someone out, if the insurance
company sends someone out, is there any part of that
that could be part of insurance? Who knows?

Speaker 9 (30:44):
You know?

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Anyway, Brooke Red Rocks, Roof and Solar call for rough

three three seven one, three eighty five five, Deputy Bau.

(32:47):
As a follow up, Deputy Bow, what does this follow
up from, sir?

Speaker 16 (32:52):
If this is from a person named Sam Wilson called
in on three seventeen, Uh.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
He three seventeen, Sammy, let's find it. I love the
records you keep. So he was with full He's with
a charity.

Speaker 16 (33:07):
Right, Yeah, he started a charity called Full Circle. Full
Circle for People in drug.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Recovery right helps people with substance abuse and recovery. They
recently bought a building that needs electrical work and they asked, Excel,
can you please turn off the power? So we can
do this, this and this, And they said, because because
it's holding them up on construction and it's very critical.
And they said, you're three months out or four months

(33:37):
out now to turn off power. First of all, I
never knew you needed Excel to do that at all.
I don't know why, because when people work on my mast.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't believe we had to
have Excel out there. What did you find out though?
Go ahead.

Speaker 16 (33:56):
I went out to the property twice and it's over
on sixth cent Bryant. He does have heavy power going
to the building that THEYD purchase because it was formerly
a marijuana grow place. So they've got these workers ready
to go. I think they're paying them. But Excel can't

(34:19):
get out there till April twenty first.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
So I won't why. I mean, why does they have
to be there? Can't a master electrician turn off the
power and turn it on?

Speaker 16 (34:30):
Well, this is what I suggested. I don't know what
electrical contractor they're using, but when I went out there
to look at it, I suggested to Sam Wilson that
they just pull the electrical meters and then there's a
big lever disconnect switch. They could turn the switch to
the opposition and pad law.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
That's what I'm saying. But it must be against the
law or something bo because they say they can't do
it without an electrician. Hey, guys, call in if you
know this answer. I have a lot of nerds right this. Wait,
we'll take this right after the break stick around on

No shoot's gonna come.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Man, this is the Troubleshooter Show.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
No Tom Martinez, Hi Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show.
Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three
eight two five five here to help you with your problems.
We like to do that and one of the ways
we do that is by you calling in. So let
me get to our callers and to our fun and festivities.

(36:25):
We have a guest here today as well. I'll introduce you.
But Deputy Bo wants to talk about this follow up? Deputy,
are you done with it or because I want to know? Well,
here's what I don't understand. The only time I have
ever heard needing Excel Energy to turn off the power

(36:46):
is when they turn it off at the poll because
they're working on the service line and the mast and.

Speaker 7 (36:53):
All of that.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
That's when you need That's when you need Excel Energy.
But if you're working on anything from the meter inward,
you do not need them at all. For anything, you
can pull the master switch. You don't have to pull
the meter. You just turn off the master switch in
the breaker box. But what work are they doing? It
must be on the mast and on the service line. Bow,

(37:17):
that's the only time they would need go ahead.

Speaker 16 (37:20):
I agree with you, Tom, I don't think the power
needs to be shut off that the transformer can on
the pole.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
But okay, what electrical work? I know you went there
and investigates, so you must know what electric work are
they doing?

Speaker 16 (37:34):
So they got to rewire the whole building because the
former tenants dripped out all the.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Copper and do not need to turn off power at
the poll to do that?

Speaker 2 (37:46):
No, they don't need to do that.

Speaker 16 (37:47):
But Tom be in a grow house. There's a lot
of power there. There's seven or eight massive electrical panels,
and I believe they want to reduce it down to
just one panel.

Speaker 3 (37:58):
And I but they don't eat it. They don't need
the power turned off at the pole.

Speaker 16 (38:04):
No they don't. But they seem insist that they're an
electric electrical contractors insist.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Well, did you talk to the hold on? Did you
talk to the electrical contractor? Because I'm sure you can
explain it. Let's get him on the air.

Speaker 16 (38:17):
Well, I'll call I'll call Sam up and have them
bring the electrical contractor up on it.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
I mean, I'm not at odds. I'm not at odds
with him at all. I just want to know. We
just want some reasoning here for this woman. Let's let's
get some reasoning. And the only thing you three oh
three oh go ahead, bo.

Speaker 16 (38:34):
I just want to put this out. They're electrical contractor says,
if you pull electrical meter that it sends the signal
to Excel and they'll find your account ten thousand dollars.
I just want an employee of Excel to call into
the show to verify it.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Well, yeah, I like to know. We have a lot
of nerds that listen to this show, and then of
course I have my morons, and they know a lot.
So maybe one of our morons knows about I can
name one moron, Tam that actually does he does a
lot of electrical work.

Speaker 16 (39:07):
I'm going to have him. I think it's I think, Hellcatt,
I'm going to have Sam get his electrical contractor to
call into the show. I agree, because I think it's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
Yeah, okay, good. So let's keep working on this to
get this problem solved, and then meanwhile, let's solve some
other problems, questions and complaints, and we can also talk
about stuff in the news, one of the things I
love doing because there is a lot of crazy crap
going on. What do you think about these Tesla bombings?
Oh my god, I mean, I mean it's getting really, really,

(39:46):
really bad. So I want to know what do you
think about that? Seriously, because it's it's it's getting to
a point where a lot of Tesla drivers are paranoid.

(40:07):
I mean, I think they're getting you know, but you
have to understand mark that it is a little weird, isn't.
Don't you get the finger once in a while or not?

Speaker 14 (40:18):
No, not at all.

Speaker 9 (40:19):
Man.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Here is fact.

Speaker 17 (40:21):
I don't worry about anything out where I live or
around the Tech center, and I never go to downtown,
so I just don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Man, Well did you know that? Non? I'll tell you
what I have been doing though. Check this out. You
were never a motorcycle rider.

Speaker 17 (40:38):
But for people out there that rode bikes for a while,
when you're passing another bike coming at you, you kind
of have a wave and you kind of acknowledge each
other you're both on a bike and your bikers. I'm
starting to do that with all Tesla drivers I see,
and I'm getting a response about.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Eighty percent of the time. The brother who know.

Speaker 17 (41:02):
And then out here in Franktown, as you know, you
lived out here years ago, someone comes wandering around.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
These parts, they're liable to get shot. Yeah, now, listen
to this. A record number of non white voters and
young men and young black men have been drifting over
to Elon Musk and he had the biggest gain of

(41:30):
that segment in history. Now, think about that. He's supposed
to be the racist, bigoted hate You mean you mean Trump,
not Elon. Yeah, No, Trump is supposed to be. And
all of these voters are going over to Trump. They're
supporting him in the latest surveys. Anyway. Yeah, thinking about

(41:51):
they could get in lied to Tom.

Speaker 17 (41:53):
They're sick and tired of being lied to. You know,
we had skin and bones. It couldn't even have a
rational thought in the White.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
House for four years and they just lied to everybody
about it. And people like badass Trump is bad ass. Yeah,
I think. I think what's shocking to people is that
I just think that they believe. I just think that

(42:20):
they believe that he's an evil man. I mean, they
just no matter what he does. Who are these people
that believe that?

Speaker 7 (42:30):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (42:30):
Mark, Okay, I'll give you one Monty Okay.

Speaker 17 (42:35):
That's one out of fifty thousand they listen to Mark.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Mark. Come on, you're not telling me that everyone in
Denver loves Trump.

Speaker 17 (42:43):
We had this argument, we had this argument leading up
to the election. How there was no way Trump was
ever gonna win, and Ma and all these people would
never vote for him, and he swept everything.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
I did say stuff like that, Okay, I did.

Speaker 17 (43:01):
But look CNBC, CNN, they make you think there's all
these people that are out there.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
That can't stand them. I'm telling you it's like three people.
You're saying that it's all fake news.

Speaker 17 (43:16):
Basically, I'm saying it's one hundred percent fake news. Just
look at the election results. Every swing state he took.
He took the popular vote. My god, he swept. Look
at the black vote. What do you The only thing
he didn't really sweep was I think it was white women.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Okay, what about Okay? So I want to know if
people agree with that this is not a not a
political well, it's ultimately a political discussion. But I believe
that there are still many, many, many many people who
can't stand them. And I think it's about half of
the country. That's what I think. So I believe that

(44:04):
about half. No, I'm not I'd like to.

Speaker 17 (44:06):
Hear from I'd like to hear people's thoughts as well.
Three oh three seven one three a two five five. Really,
I'd like to hear it.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
I would I really would like to know, Like, here's
what I'd like to know. He's absolutely wrong, he's absolutely right,
or I like some and I don't like some, you know,
like in between, which would be a positive.

Speaker 17 (44:25):
Saying the numbers are already over inflated. Tom, What I'm
saying is the number of people is nowhere near half
and half. They can't stand them, It's nowhere near it.
They're just loud, squeaky, creddy people.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
That's all. But you did you did see the CNN
poll on his approval rating is at an all time low. No,
it's the highest he's ever had. Okay, it went down
and it's progressively going down. I don't know we're looking
at the same poll. But anyway, we have a question
about moving companies. Carla. What I love that you're calling

(45:00):
ahead of time? Carla? What's going on? I'm here? Yes,
I okay? How can we help you?

Speaker 7 (45:07):
Are you there?

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Okay? And where are you moving from? Where to where?

Speaker 10 (45:11):
We're moving from.

Speaker 13 (45:12):
North Thornton to Westminster office ninety six.

Speaker 8 (45:18):
And wawdors.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Okay. So you're just doing a local move, yep, a
local move and you're looking for somebody. Now listen, here's
what's important in this industry. Most of the people you
talk to, not some of them. Most of them are lying,
cheating ripoffs who will take you for every dime you

(45:44):
have and hold your stuff hostage and they're terrible. So
there you got about ninety eight percent of them. We're
going to fall into that category. So I am so
happy that you're calling me and you're not going to
next door where a lot of the ripoffs hang out
out or my excuse me, Facebook or Instagram. I'm glad

(46:06):
you're calling us now, Mark, here's the challenge, Well, there
is no challenge. Who would you go to? Mark? Misson?
He might not be on. Yeah, I missed the question.

Speaker 18 (46:18):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (46:20):
What would you do for a local mover man?

Speaker 17 (46:26):
Probably Johnson Storage and Moving. They do local as well.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
Yeah, john Johnson Moving in Storage, You'll never go wrong, never. Okay,
make sure it's Johnson Moving and Storage. Now did you
call anyone so far?

Speaker 7 (46:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (46:44):
I've got three people coming out to give me bids.
But that's good.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
To tell me who you had come out, No, no,
tell me who you had come out.

Speaker 13 (46:53):
They haven't come out yet. But I've got Local Moving
coming out on Monday. They got I'm I'm just looking
at reviews online and they got like a four point
nine out of thirteen hundred.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Yeah, yeah, don't believe them.

Speaker 13 (47:07):
Go ahead, Okay, Legacy Moving, which also has high high ratings,
and College Hunk.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Okay, now, I will tell you that Local and Legacy
they're not terrible. Okay, Okay, here's what you want to
look out for. Still, I still would I would only
use I would only use my people. So and they're
not even on the referral list anymore. They're so damn good.
But I would send you over to them, and I

(47:40):
believe you'll be treated fine. But if the other two
are okay, I don't like the College Hunk thing, not
just because of the name and stupid. But here's the deal.
When you have what you definitely want is a guarantee
not to exceed price guarantee not to exceed Okay, okay,

(48:06):
not just not an estimate. You want to guarantee not
to exceed.

Speaker 12 (48:11):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Let me ask you, and the only thing you and
you're not going to pay up front. You're only going
to pay when they load and when they deliver. Go ahead.
What else were you going to say?

Speaker 13 (48:23):
What are your thoughts? On having them pack and unpack it.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
They do a better job than we can.

Speaker 18 (48:35):
I know.

Speaker 13 (48:35):
That's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 6 (48:36):
I've got a lot of stuff.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
I you know what this last move, I made a
really big move several years ago where we moved. I
had them do all the packing and as long as
I'm there supervising and stuff, as far as writing notes
to myself and all that, it's pretty good. Now there's
going to be a time and I'm not I'm sure.

(48:58):
I don't even know why it's here. Why movers don't
provide QR codes and just a QR code each box
and then send them send the owner a list of
you know, like number one, and then around that big
number one there's a QR code, So U QR code
the box and then it sends a message to the
owner what was put in QR one. It's just things

(49:21):
like this are just going to be around the corner.
But to make a long story short with you, is America.
You know call I can't think of his name, Nam Johnson.
I'm sorry, man, that's just my brain go in creasey
right now. Johnson moving in storage. But then I'm not
trying to be president, am I Okay, Johnson Moving in
Storage and those other two. The more I'm looking into them,

(49:45):
they look pretty good. They look pretty good. I'm looking
I look for fake spot and I didn't note. Fake
spot is where they try they go through reviews and
they try to match with with ips and c if
they're fake and they they're good people on the fake
spot and local moving. So just a car do you favor?

Speaker 14 (50:06):
Though?

Speaker 3 (50:07):
I want you to call me back after you get
your estimates and give me your feelings. What debo you
had a question?

Speaker 16 (50:13):
Yeah, I just want to make a suggestion of Carla
that Doc has always had very good luck with move Masters. Okay, okay,
And I've always used Cowboy. Cowboy's been around in town
for fifty years and they're good for local movies.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Yeah, but are you sure hold on though, Bo? Are
you sure there's still the same company.

Speaker 16 (50:34):
Well, I haven't used them in ten years, so I
don't know if they've been bought up. But I know
Doc used move Masters I think about eight months ago,
and he swears by him for local moves. I mean,
just call and get a bid.

talks seven one three eight two five five. All right,
let's Chris has a question that seems pretty odd a
consumer protection ag Go ahead, sir, what's going on? Hello, Yeah,

(52:17):
we're having problems with them. I don't know. I think
people aren't expecting to get on maybe and they hear
me and they don't. There's a slight delay. But it's
getting to be tiresome to bring these calls. Tom. We're
always shocked when we get an audience or talking to Bush,
not Bush, Christ to me, now, Biden, So is he up?

(52:43):
Is this is this petitions? Now the caller? The caller's
gone okay, I think I think I know what they're Yeah, well,
if you're talking about the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, they
are getting rid of it or wait, or they're they're
changing its focus. Now. This is one area where I
disagree with Doge. It was one of the few. And

(53:05):
Deputy Doc will tell you this, he's working from home.
But they really do solve problems, man, like when money
is suck in cyberspace, or a bank says you never

Hi?

Tom, how are you.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Good? What's going on?

Extended state?

Okay? Were they residents of Extended Stay? Yes? Then why
would they be.

Speaker 7 (57:03):
Told because they backed into their parking space?

Speaker 3 (57:11):
I don't even get that. So does a sign say
that you can't back in? Oh? I know what they're saying.
They couldn't see the ticket right or the license plate.
Tell me what reason they're given, Because not backing into
a parking space is not a legitimate reason.

Tom, That's the.

Speaker 7 (57:30):
Reason, I promise you.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Do they have that in writing.

We have to have somebody call over there. So is
there any sign anywhere that says do not back into
parking space?

What does it say in the area where your daughter parked?

did your daughter get her car?

Speaker 10 (58:21):

Speaker 6 (58:33):
You know what, I don't know the name of the company,
but it's not their fault, Kathy, do you know the
name of the company that tells you? I'm mariteing?

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Okay, why tell me why they were told? Like you said,
it's not the towing company.

Speaker 12 (58:59):
No, it's because the manager had it done.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Why did the manager have it done? What's the manager's name?

Speaker 7 (59:09):
Carlos?

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Carlos? And why why did is it a new manager? No?

call it.

You know what, call Tom?

Speaker 3 (59:39):
I would call immediately. I mean, this is ridiculous. Eleven

another text here Mark. It says Mark is delusional. In
my opinion, you are right. After the latest grossed stunts
Trump has been pulling. Even a lot of his mainstream

followers are regretting it. His his ratings are dropping. And
it says, here's another one. Tom as soon as one
of the anti Tesla protesters gets the butt kicked or shot,
the protesters will calm down. This one says, in reference

to Highway going west Denver towards Western Slope, it's C
four seventy in the metro area, but it's just seventy
that way, of course I know that. Then someone says
the lanes are closed because it is a shoulder. Then really,

(01:03:32):
three O three seven one three talk seven one three
eight two five five. All right, So we have a
question about red light camera tickets, and I've now this
is what I can tell you personally of research personally
and and also tested the limits. Danny, go ahead, Grey.

Speaker 18 (01:03:52):
My question was, h Okay, if you get a ticket
from let's say Denver, little turn you went through of
it went through a yellow, but it was really red,
and so they'll thend you a ticket in the mouth.

Speaker 9 (01:04:05):
Do you have to pay it?

Speaker 18 (01:04:06):
I've been told that unless an officer gives you a
written ticket, that you don't have to pay it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:14):
Okay, First and foremost, let's talk about a red light ticket,
no matter what it is. A red light ticket, when
issued by the police, is a summons. Okay, it's a ticket.
It's an accusation. It's not automatically guilty. Okay. Now, when

(01:04:35):
you get a ticket from the courts and they hand
it to you on the street or in your car
or wherever, that ticket is also an automatic demand to
appear in court. If you look on the ticket, it
says that you must answer by a certain date or

(01:04:59):
appeer on a certain date. If you did not answer
that ticket that you were given personally, you would be
in contempt of court and there weren't issued for your arrest. Okay.
That's what would happen with a ticket that is handed
to you. If the ticket is not handed to you. First,

(01:05:20):
they don't even know if it is you. They don't
know if you even got it. And the only way
they can execute it or prosecute it is by personal service. Now,
personal service used to be they had to have you served,
but some municipalities, and you have to check on each,

(01:05:42):
have changed their local laws that say that you can
use the US mail as service, so they can send
you a registered letter and that would be service. Okay,
Now as far as pay, paying or not paying. As
far as paying or not paying, I'm going to tell

(01:06:04):
you something right now, I'm just gonna tell you. Unless
it's an outrageous amount and you're just pissed off, you
can take in the court all you want or refuse
to pay. But it is always cheaper not to pay.
Excuse me, It's always cheaper to pay the initial fine
than to fight it. Always because ultimately you will lose.

(01:06:28):
You will, you will absolutely lose. The only time you
win are like the times I've done. Like I've got
about twenty five tickets for various reasons, all different kinds,
and all I do is ignore them. This is me.
And when I ignore them, they have gone away. And

(01:06:51):
when they don't go away. I look at my email
and you will get another stern warning, and then I
babysit that one. And when I know that they've had enough,
they're going to send me a summons. Then I pay it.
But most of them don't. But the laws are rapidly
changing where trust me, if a camera picks up a

(01:07:13):
fight on a street corner, you're going to be getting
assault tickets. It's technology and the government. It's scary what
they can do together. But we are going to have
a situation where yes, the ticket will be a summons,
just like if a police officer gave it to you.
But it's not like that. Now, where did you get

(01:07:34):
the ticket?

Speaker 9 (01:07:34):
Sir?

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:07:37):
This was This has been taken care of.

Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
It was.

Speaker 9 (01:07:41):
It was about thirteen years.

Speaker 18 (01:07:42):
Ago in Littleton. But I ran into a young woman today.
It was about forty five and she told me she
never pays any of them. Unless a police officer gives
you one, you don't have to pay him.

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
Well, it is true that you don't have to pay
because there's no one with a gun to your head.
Or not you should have paid, that's a matter of question.
If you feel truly you have an argument against it,
then go to court. But you're right, you got to
be summoned first, and if you're not summoned, nothing happens.

Speaker 18 (01:08:14):
So if they sent you a letter, read it real
carefully and make sure it says something on it that says,
if you don't pay this, there'll be a warrant put
out for your arrest.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Well, that's right, if it's a summons in the form
of a letter. Some municipalities have accepted mark. Do you
know which ones accept mail now as a personal service?
I know there are a number of them doing it
because they wanted to get away from that loophole. They
didn't want to have to serve everyone. So if I

(01:08:47):
were you, I would pay it if it's not too much,
and forego the brain damage unless you know, unless you
feel like fighting. I'm Tom Martinez. We have more coming

it's been on average about forty degrees sunshine. It's been great.

Speaker 3 (01:12:15):
And you're on Wilder Avenue.

Speaker 8 (01:12:18):

And then but you don't have many well, yeah you have.
Is that your backyard surrounded by trees? Yep?

Speaker 8 (01:12:41):
Yeah, it should be like a big log looking home.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Yeah, of course it's. Well, I'm looking at their address
on Google and I see your Hey guys, if anybody
else wants to look it up, it's eight hundred West
Wilder Avenue and it's Scilla, Alaska. Now you have the

(01:13:06):
whole neighborhood is heavily treed.

Speaker 8 (01:13:09):
Well it's I mean it's so people ask where's was Scilla?
And I always say, you know where Sarah Palin is lives.
Everybody's oh, yeah, so that's same same town as Sarah Palin.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
I guess the one I'm looking at, though from the
curb view may not be yours. I think that's it's
eight thirty five Wilder. So eight thirty five is down.

Speaker 7 (01:13:31):
The street that's across.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
Okay, let me hold on then I'm going to turn around. Okay.
So do you have some white birch.

Speaker 8 (01:13:39):
Yep, it should be a really beautiful, big custom made
log home.

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Oh wait a minute, well that's not it. Hold on,
this could be old. When did you build your log home?

Speaker 8 (01:13:54):
It was built back in two thousand and four?

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Well how old are these Okay, I'm sure I'm not
in the right driveway, but how old are these usually? When?
How old are these usually? These maps?

Speaker 7 (01:14:08):
I just looked it up. It's it's current.

Speaker 8 (01:14:10):
I can I can find it when.

Speaker 3 (01:14:11):
I put it in. Oh really, okay, all right, very cool.
I'm gonna brown home. Wait wait, I think I have
it a big log home. Do you have a white
Ford pickup truck? Really?

Speaker 8 (01:14:25):
Okay, that's most updated, but that's not mine.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
And uh, who's the motorcycle game entering your home? Right now?
Never mind? Yes, so you have a you have a
two guard garage on one side and two car and
the other or what.

Speaker 8 (01:14:43):
It's Yeah, so this is a custom make that that there?
It's a it's four bedrooms. With each side has four bets,
so it's two separate units.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
Oh wow, wow, Well if I come up then to visit,
I'll have somewhere to stay.

Speaker 8 (01:15:00):
Yeah, now you know where I'm at to make sure
you go to the right unit.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
Okay, well so but you own the whole thing.

Speaker 8 (01:15:10):
Uh no, nope, just my side.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
Okay, So you bought a duplex. Who'd have thunk that
you buy a duplex out in the country in Alaska.

Speaker 8 (01:15:21):
Well, it's actually in town. It's actually that's that's just
how beautiful it is. And with still I mean it's
in town, but you have so much space. I mean,
you just get so much with your property. It's insane,
very fun.

Speaker 3 (01:15:36):
Hey, if you need a custom bath, walking, shower and
all that, we have renew home innovations on the show today. So, hey,
is it hard to find reliable contractors where you are?

Speaker 8 (01:15:47):
It is now because a lot of that work when
the lower forty eight doing good, typically Alaska isn't doing
so good, But when the lower forty eighth is struggling,
then that's when Alaska is doing really good. So right now,
custom builders.

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
Are why is that Why is that counter? Why is
that counter's circulative? Why are sicular why.

Speaker 6 (01:16:09):
I don't know, Tom.

Speaker 8 (01:16:10):
Honestly, I've only been here. I used to live in Colorado.
I've been here for eight years. But so it's I
think it has something to do with like the native
population and the regulations with drilling and all that with
the natural gas. But they believe this will be the
first year with Trump being in, with the deals that
are going on with Japan and the natural.

Speaker 7 (01:16:29):
Gas, that that could be this could.

Speaker 8 (01:16:32):
Actually be something where we all do well this year,
so or the next four or eight years.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
How are politics in Alaska?

Speaker 8 (01:16:43):
That's why I'm calling. So I heard what you and
are Mark going back and forth, and I mean, I'll
tell you, I'm a staunch Trump support, but a lot
of my friends from Colorado who were hardcore blue dog
Democrats or independence and then originally I'm from Iowa saying
there the majority of them didn't vote for Trump. But

(01:17:08):
this time around, the ones I know all voted for him,
that he's he might not be liked in certain areas,
but they love what he's doing because that's what he
got voted in for. But in Alaska it's as patriarchic
as you can get. I mean, you didn't want to
be a Biden person living in Alaska, because there was
a lot of flag that had explicit language about Biden
on it that would you'd see regularly, so very patriotic

(01:17:31):
here and and very pro and a lot of independence,
but very pro you know, America America first.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
So you feel like Alaska is is a moving conservatives.

Speaker 8 (01:17:45):
It's pretty much always been conservative, but there's a lot okay,
it's there's a lot more. There's a lot of independence too,
independence and uh but I would say it's much stronger now.
And it's not because they love report publicans. It's because
they like our freedom. They don't like how that's where mistreated.
They don't like where all this money was going. They

(01:18:07):
don't like all the line and coruption of the media.
I mean, it's not just Republicans. You're seeing democrats here,
same thing independence, but it's mainly they want the freedom.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
Well that's good to know, you know. I mean, because
I told Mark I thought there were a growing number
of people still disillusioned and that don't like him, and
Mark said that it's he thinks a lot of that's
fake news. What they do is they take something bad
that happened and amplify it, or they talk about the

(01:18:41):
possibility of a recession or of a major problem with inflation,
and they do that on purpose to make it seem
bigger than it is. But when you're out and about
on your normal day, we'll go.

Speaker 8 (01:18:53):
Ahead, Yeah, let me respond to that.

Speaker 7 (01:18:56):
So I would agree with Mark.

Speaker 5 (01:18:58):
And here's why.

Speaker 8 (01:18:59):
If you guys look at the statistics that are coming
out in polls, especially like with CNN, now that Trump
has introduced like alternate media, like let's you know, like
YouTube type stars or just people like his son who
is engaged during the election, you have a lot of
voices that they're sick of what's going on on mainstream
and are turning towards other sources because they believe it's

(01:19:21):
more of a balanced approach. And I think that's why
you're seeing a big shift. And I would have to
agree with Mark is the media's like CNN and MSMB,
their numbers are plummeting in the Democrat percentage is in
the tank. So it just leads me to believe that
that is probably most accurate, just because I see such
a popularity on rumble and YouTube with more of a

(01:19:43):
think take group with whether you're a Democrat, liberal or
a Democrat, Republican or independent. Their life minds are coming
together and we're just sitting out and talking about the
things that we agree on.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
Yeah. No, I see what you're saying. Mark, Are you there?
I don't know if he's listening. Okay, does he here?
Does he hear us? Or is he if he's around?
On Curio three seven seven one three eight two five

new run on one of my things before I could
send it out, but I appreciate it so real quick.
Here though, what is the like the income bracket up
in that little town you're in. Are people wealthy? Are
they poor? Are the in between? You have a good mixture? What?

Speaker 8 (01:20:35):
Yeah, so that's the unfortunate thing I'm in. You know,
I'm in healthcare. So if you have like hourly healthcare,
that's what we're struggling right now. There is a mass
ectidus just because when during Biden's Biden's administrative the administration,
the cost to get goods to Alaska, like food and
other goods, it's just spiked. I mean, I was watching
prices go up each week, sometimes by a dollar.

Speaker 7 (01:20:58):
It was crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:20:59):
But you mean because of trucking, or why because of trucking, or.

Speaker 8 (01:21:04):
Why both trucking, flying stuff in on a barge, all
of it. It's just everything was just so much more
expensive to get to Alaska when I first got here
in two thousand and eight. I mean, it went up
at least by thirty percent. When over the past four years, do.

Speaker 3 (01:21:25):
You sense a sense of optimism up there?

Speaker 14 (01:21:28):
Absolutely?

Speaker 8 (01:21:29):
People are fired up. It's exciting like this, Alaska is
the hidden gem. People think it's dark and cold, and
here all the time it's beautiful.

Speaker 6 (01:21:37):
This is the hidden gem.

Speaker 8 (01:21:38):
I see that this is going to be kind of
like Colorado was when I moved there back in two
thousand and eight. I think this is going to be
the next Colorado, if you will, because it's what people want.
Safe communities. I mean, you're not We don't have the
crime here.

Speaker 7 (01:21:54):
It's safe.

Speaker 8 (01:21:55):
You know, your neighbors, people you know, wave and talk
to each other, and a lot of like you know,
neighborhood parties during the summer and and all that. So
it's just and that's not just with Stilla, this is
this is throughout the state. So there's just a lot
of people.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
All right, real quick, I got to ask, so Terry, Terry, Terry,
walk me through. So from January, February and March, what
kind of weather.

Speaker 8 (01:22:19):
It's been in the forties.

Speaker 7 (01:22:20):
You know, we've had some rain, but we haven't had
like the snow.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
So what is it? What is it? Normally?

Speaker 9 (01:22:25):
Is this?

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
Is it still bitter winter January and February?

Speaker 16 (01:22:28):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:22:29):
Yeah, normally it's you know, minus degrees or you know,
five degrees above, but and a.

Speaker 7 (01:22:36):
Ton of snow.

Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
Okay. Then what happens in March.

Speaker 8 (01:22:41):
March It starts to warm up really quickly, but then
you always, like Colorado, you'll get that unexpected snowstorm that
will drop like okay, and then it melts aware.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
Yeah, and the same the same with April. So when
does it really get nice where you don't bring a
coat with you and you go out for the day.

Speaker 8 (01:22:58):
Typically, actually that can April March like at the towards
the like the middle to end of March and then
into April.

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
Right, but it goes on and off and on and
off through April. Is May pretty stable, May, May.

Speaker 8 (01:23:11):
June, July, August, September is all is that stable.

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
So it sounds to me like Colorado.

Speaker 8 (01:23:19):
It's a lot like Colorado, except for we have large mosquitos.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):

(01:24:18):
your troubleshooter three O three seven one three talk three
O three seven one three eight two five five. So
you know, we do a lot of talking about a
lot of things, right, and and so from time to time,
if you want to go back and see how something
ended up, let us let us know, because we don't

(01:24:40):
always recap everything Now Bo was handling a problem just
to day, isn't it Bo from Car? Wait? Wait, just
like when did that.

Speaker 16 (01:24:50):
Call thirty minutes ago Marcy about Marcy?

Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
Marcy and eleven others had their cars towed. The manager said, yes,
they're residents, but they backed into those spaces, right.

Speaker 16 (01:25:04):
So I called Carlos, the manager of the Extended Stay
hotel in Englewood. They are long term guests there. So
he said, there wasn't eleven cars. There were several cars.
But when these guests come into the lobby and sign
up for a room, there's signs, several signs in the

(01:25:27):
lobby stating that you cannot back your car in, And
then once they go into the hotel, it's they print
it out on a flyer. So I asked them, well,
why do you guys care if the people back their
cars in? And he said, and I agree with him.
He says, when they back in, they start the cars up.
And these hotel rooms, oh, they have heat pumps, little

(01:25:51):
heat pumps, and it draws the exhaust air from the
car into the living space.

Speaker 3 (01:25:56):
So don't you think there should just be signs up
on those posts saying do not back into spot.

Speaker 16 (01:26:02):
I asked Carlos this. I said, why don't you have
some signage out into the parking lot. They said, well,
we've ordered them and they're on back order.

Speaker 3 (01:26:12):
And I guess what, I don't think they have the
right to I think that they can be sued, and
I think these consumers will win. There's no sign out there,
no way, there's no way without proper sign I don't care.
I don't care if he said he told him in
other ways, they're the law says signs.

Speaker 16 (01:26:31):
Okay, well there's no signs, then these people could take
extended stay American America Hotel on Inglewood to small court.

Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
I want to did we have I want to get
one of them back on the air now that we
know this this bull crap.

Speaker 16 (01:26:45):
Now now, Tom Carlos said he would come on the
air and state his case, but he had to talk
with the owner of the hotel to get permission to come.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
On the air too. So okay, he sounded like a
good guy.

Speaker 16 (01:26:57):
He sounded you know. He said, he wasn't evasive. He
answered all my questions, and I asked him, if you can.

Speaker 3 (01:27:03):
Yeah, but here we had one thing like that before
where a notice went out to guests saying that guests
can only park in a certain area. This went out
to the people on the condo. Well, this one woman
had a condo and her mom came to visit. Her
mom wasn't privy to that memo, And people said, well,
that's up to the woman. That's up to the tenant

(01:27:24):
to tell her mom. No, it's not. If you're going
to toast someone from that parking lot, it's up to
you to warn them, not up to the residents. It's
up to you to do it out with signage, simple signage,
and in that case, we won, and we you will
win if there's no proper signage. That's a very simple proposition.

(01:27:47):
So that person that called in and was very upset,
let's get him.

Speaker 16 (01:27:54):
Let's see if she'll come back on the air.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
Well, let's get her to go to small claims court.

Speaker 16 (01:27:59):
Yeah, I agree, I think there should be some There
should be signage out into the parking lot. I understand
why they don't want the cars back in, and uh,
I see, but they.

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
I see, I see exactly why. Yeah, Okay, to avoid exhaust,
to avoid exhaust going in to the heat pumps, and
I agree, but they have to have a sign up
there saying do not back in or nose parking only

Tom Martino here three oh three seven one three talk

(01:29:18):
three oh three seven one three eight two five five
the Show for Solving Problems. I have ay new home
innovations in the house. Let me get to a wide
shot here. I have a question about now if they
have a tub that they love, a turtle feet tub,
turtle feet have you heard of those old things? Yeah?

(01:29:42):
Can they say, okay, can you make a shower where
one did not exist before? Like they don't want to
do away with that tub? But they want to find
a place to put a shower. Can you use plumbing
and make a shower? You can even make a small
walking shower. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (01:29:58):
I mean there's many times we'll actually taken and bring
a space where the shower and the tub are together
in the in the same space.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
So yeah, that's it's done pretty pretty commonly. So where
one doesn't exist, you can put a shower. Yeah, we
do it. Even with the tubs then where just take
the tub out completely.

Speaker 4 (01:30:16):
Absolutely, that's done all the time. More and more people
are getting rid of tubs, you know, on a I know,
pretty consistent base, I know it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
Yeah, I mean but even if you're older, having a
shower with a seat, who wants to soak anyway? So
tell me about the steam showers? Do you do them
a lot? We love showers? So does that add a
lot to the to the project. It adds a lot
of personal value? I think?

Speaker 14 (01:30:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
But does it cost? It costs? Doesn't it? Yes? It
does cost? Is it really expensive?

Speaker 4 (01:30:47):
Like how much it's a good investment? I mean you
can get a ten grand somewhere in the middle. Wow, Yeah,
that's just for the steam while the jets and everything.
Temperature controls. See, there's more to it than just steam.
Oh yeah, And and we use a Mister Steam product
which has a lot of unique features that you can
add to it with aroma therapy, coroma therapy.

Speaker 3 (01:31:09):
Oh cool, different, like a little chamber you can put
some essence in. Absolutely yeah. Wow. You don't even have
to fill it up.

Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
It's just automated and there's there's so many features that
mister Steam has now today it's it's a wonderful product.

Speaker 3 (01:31:22):
Yeah, I love it. I do a lot of people
do steamers. I think if you're going that expense, if
you're in a position to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:30):
I highly recommend it because it obviously makes you feel better,
you know, for breathing and just overall well being.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
Steam showers are absolutely incredible. Okay, someone said that they
saw a shower, a walk in shower, and it had
side wall jets too. Can you put jets in weird areas?
Oh yeah, we we have a really have just yeah,
so you can have a he called these body jets
body sprays. Yeah, so you can walk through like a

(01:31:58):
car wash for days. Say you can.

Speaker 4 (01:32:01):
I have a couple of them in my shower, and
I find that they don't get used very frequently, but
they are they're they're definitely available. You just have to
have to have the right plumber who knows how to
plumb those things correctly.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
And we do so, all right, Yeah three oh three
seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five.
If you have a problem, question and complain, give us
a call. I want to go back to some stuff
I was reading now, Oh dog, I went to the
wrong one. Let me get back here. So we were
talking about some news that flabbergas that the hell out

(01:32:38):
of me. So let me find it again. It has
to do with here. I am okay, wrong one, I'll
find it. Three oh three seven one three eight two
five five. This was this, This came up and I
wanted to know why young people and non blacks are
moving conservatively. In fact, it's alarming the left and they

(01:33:01):
want to know why. What would you say? The reason is,
I don't know the reason why young people? Mark, do
you want to chime in on that minorities and young
men and especially black men are moving toward Republican And
they try to speculate as to why. Some of them

(01:33:23):
say they like disruption and they like the idea that
people are doing what they said they're going to do,
and maybe a little bit of rebellion. So it's kind
of funny, but they're looking at the Republicans as kind
of a rebellion. Now here's another disturbing trend. Okay, it's

(01:33:46):
people over fifty. Gray Divorces have doubled. You've been married
your entire life, you know, adult life, you have kids,
you saw off to college. You're sixty five years old.
Why why give up them? What are you gonna do?

(01:34:06):
And this is this is an unbelievable trend that more
and more people sixty and older are getting divorced. Some
say that the woman is finally done, saying my kids
are out of the house. I've done. That's what they
care about more than anything. Others say that right now,

(01:34:27):
because of society in general accepting it more, that a
great divorce is more accepted. So and times have changed
to where they feel like there's no guilt in it.
It's not like it used to be. So people over
sixty getting divorces, and they're not for economic means. Except

(01:34:51):
the one woman who won the lottery and did not
tell her husband she divorced them. She was living high
off the hog two years later he found out about it,
and then he totally went apecrap. Honor opened up the
divorce and got one hundred percent of the proceeds because
of her dishonesty. That's a true story. I never I

(01:35:14):
never actually believed it, but it's true. I looked it
up all right. Now, as far as the court case
is going on, I would like to hear from people
if they believe that the courts have a right to
reverse executive orders. Now here's something that I've always been taught.

(01:35:37):
I have always been taught that the courts are only
to decide when it comes to these issues the constitutionality.
It's not a court of equity for the president fighting
for his executive order, nor is it the place of
the court to legislate from the bench. It seems like

(01:36:00):
judges have been using the bench to get their agenda accomplished,
as opposed to looking at constitutionality. The only thing they
should look at is this constitutional or not? Not? Do
I like it not? Do I agree with it? It

(01:36:24):
should be one constitutional or not. And in all of
these cases, what I found weird. None of them have
done the just None of them have have given that reason.
Three oh three seven one, three eight two five five.

and finding a contractor can be hard. What am I hearing? Okay,

(01:37:38):
I'm hearing me. Shut up anyway, So people, here's the
bottom line when it comes to UH. A lot of
a lot of people are having a tough time when
it comes to homer modeling because of these reviews. A
lot of them say they've had great reviews and ended

(01:37:59):
up with crappy jobs. Some went with the price and
lower price because the reviews were a little worse off,
but they got good results and really and truly, I
want to tell you something. Most of the people that
advertise you don't know you, and most people are getting

(01:38:23):
their stuff from either broadcast, podcasts or or you know,
social media. Really, so when you do social media, you
should ask why did you select us? Not who sent you?
Or where did you find my lead? You want to
know that, But Nick, you you also should ask why

(01:38:46):
did you choose us? Do you ask that all the time? Okay,
get on your MinC Yeah, all the time? And what
did What is the reason?

Speaker 16 (01:38:54):
I like?

Speaker 3 (01:38:54):
Where are some of the reasons that if they don't
know you, what are the reasons? Well, I've seen your
ads that looks pretty good good or I like your prey.
I mean, what reasons do you get?

Speaker 4 (01:39:03):
So consumers, you know, it's it's common knowledge. People tend
to look at price as the drive factor, right, so
do you a lost leader?

Speaker 3 (01:39:13):
Sometimes we have to Yeah, we have it's way to
do and you'll do that lower price if that's what
they insist on, absolutely, but then you show them what
else is available.

Speaker 4 (01:39:22):
Of course, we have different levels of products, but we
also emphasize on the one stop shop that you talked
about earlier, how important it is that you don't have
fifteen different people that you have to.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
Write cod or your timeline is what's the most attractive, right,
I mean heck, I mean less than a week. So
here's what I want to know though, So really most
people we if we just put a pin in it,
most people want they look for the best pricing first,
right Now, that doesn't always turn out to be the
best choice, but that's what they go for. After that,

(01:39:56):
what do they care about? Do they care about anything
after price? They? Quality? Right, they want quality.

Speaker 4 (01:40:02):
But you know the reality is it's hard to get
an inexpensive price and a.

Speaker 3 (01:40:09):
Good quality product.

Speaker 4 (01:40:10):
So you have to have make a balance somehow. Yeah,
you have to find a proper balance, and that's what
we strive to do with.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
Are people's conceptions, Sauce you're out there every day in
the trenches. I'm asking you because you have an incredible operation,
So on the trenches, what are people most misinformed about
when it comes to pricing or home remodeling? What are
people what shocks them? If anything?

Speaker 4 (01:40:36):
You know, people's perception as to what it actually costs
to actually have the you know, quality professionals quality.

Speaker 3 (01:40:42):
No, I know because because a handyman, so I can
do that for a dollar fifty, you know, you know
put an outlet in when an electrician might be two
fifty or something. So do you have people saying, well,
I can buy those liners, I can buy that material
down a home depot every day every day. You know
there are we're always going to be up against that,
but you know are we But then you got to

(01:41:04):
have somebody put it in. You have to have it
done right, You have to right.

Speaker 4 (01:41:07):
Our model has always been, you know, provide the best
quality product we can find, have good people that we
can trust in our home as well as yours, and
sell it at a fair price that everyone is comfortable with.
So it's a win win opportunity for all groups of
in your mind, and do you make.

Speaker 3 (01:41:26):
Do you go in on a lot of mistakes like
people who started with another company? Unfortunately that happens more
than I care to mention.

Speaker 4 (01:41:36):
Really, you know, we get yeah, and you know how
do they get sideways with a bath contractor usually it's
it starts with going with the lowest price because they
found something that they all all the glitters is not
gold right, so you know, just because the price sounds
too good, Like what.

Speaker 3 (01:41:54):
Stakes though made was it just basic carpentry stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:41:57):
Bad carpentry, uh inability to you know, they you know,
if you if you price a job and you don't
have enough money in it to complete it, that's when
you that's when you get people on your sleeves brigade
because I run off and they run off and don't
finish yet, and we end up getting those hyper customers
from time to time.

Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
Okay, so people when you're looking for a contractor you know,
reviews are not bad. If you read through them, you
will see if they're fake or not. And and also
not just reviews, but I would ask a company who's
your supplier, make sure they're in good standing, where do
they buy materials? I mean, if it's a big job

(01:42:37):
I'm talking about, I would I would not. I don't pay,
and I don't even know. I have never talked to
Nick about this at all. But my general philosophy is,
you don't pay up front for nothing. You pay up
front for ordering stuff. You can pay up front for design.
You can pay up front a small you know somewhat.

(01:42:57):
Then you pay up front. When that's not upfront, that's
when materias is delivered. You can pay when work begins.
As work progresses. But I really believe where you get
into trouble. As Nick said, these contractors take a lot
of money and they're out of it before they finish,

(01:43:18):
and then the or the homeowner doesn't have enough to finish,
and it's a big mess. I'm Tom Martinez. Stick around

three seven one three talk three o three seven one
three eight two five five. What's going on in your life?
How can we help you? Give us a call with
things that tick you off, things that make you tick.
I want to hear about it. And we have a
lot happening in the news, and really it boils down

(01:44:49):
to this, are people pleased with what the President's doing?
Are people not? Are tariffs affecting us now? Will they
affect us in the future? What will they affect now?
If you listen to news, you listen to one of
the news. Unfortunately, this the way it is, you're gonna get.
We're in for doom and gloom. It's going to be
the worst recession ever in our country. Is heading into
the into the toilet. You look at the other perspective

(01:45:10):
and they're saying, I'm doing what I was relucted to do.
I had a mandate, I'm doing it, and I am
getting rid of waste. I don't think I don't know
how anyone can be against that. I don't know how
anyone can be against waste. And what they say is
more bunny for the billionaires First of all, how stupid
do people have to be to be in a crowd
thinking Moss buddies are cutting all these the programs so

(01:45:36):
they can have more money. I swear to God, the
Democrats must appeal to the most, the most retards, the
in the entire world. I don't know how to put it.
They're they're going out preaching to morons for politics of envy.
Now listen, So someone called me a liberal, and I

(01:45:58):
don't care what you call me, you know, because in
some areas I am liberal. But you misquoted me, sir,
you misquoted me. Of course, this is the iHeart Radio saying, Tom,
I agree with Mark, the vast majority of Americans do
approve of Trump. Because he said that I said the
vast majority of people disapprove of Trump. I did not

(01:46:18):
say that. I never said that. I said in all
the polls, you'll see about half. You'll see about half
the people disagreeing with him and half liking him. And
if you go to other polls of approval ratings, supposedly
he has a lower approval than Joe Biden had for
the same time in office. Are you reading any of this, Mark,
or is that all fake news? Too, do I just

(01:46:39):
basically take anything that's not for Trump and call it
fake Mark three O three seven one three talk seven
one three two five five. I don't think Marks Mike's
working today, So we'll just move on. In any case,
the bottom line is this, Okay, there are about half
the people that disagree. I'd like to know what do

(01:47:02):
they disagree with that? That's a reasonable question. What do
you disagree with when you disagree with that kind of stuff?
I mean, are you saying, no, we should have waste
in government, No, we should pay social security for people
who've been dead. What should we do about it? And
that's what That's what people seem to be saying that basically,

(01:47:27):
whatever he does is wrong, even if he's cutting waste,
even if he's helping government run more efficiently. That's not real.
It's not true. Not true. Okay, here's something. Marijuana users
are six times more likely to have our heart attack.
Now I would think just the opposite. Why do you

(01:47:48):
think young marijuana users, they say, over a long range study,
were found to be six times more likely to have
a heart attack. Does that surprise anyone? It mayriorrizes me.

Speaker 16 (01:48:03):
Tom, isn't marijuana smoking sort of analogous a cigarette smoking,
if you do it long enough for your or this.

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
Year it followed. The study followed thousands of younger people
younger than fifty who had no comorbidities from twenty ten
to trewenty eighteen, and it was, according to the research,
hold on it just went to pay okay. According to

(01:48:33):
the research, evidence linking cannabis used to adverse cardiovascular events,
including in a schemic stroke and a mile mio cardial
farnction on a heart attack, heart failure, and mortality. Specifically,
cannabis uses were six times more likely to have a

(01:48:54):
heart attack, four times more likely to having a stroke,
and two times more likely to experience health failure. Why
they appear to pose a substantial risk for these outcomes,
Some say it could be because of what they encourage
in the diet, or it suggests that cannabis itself has

(01:49:17):
some kind of risk factor that we don't know about yet.
It's a cardiovascular disease, there's some link that we don't
know that it's actually the cannabis. So they believe warnings
should be put on labels of all marijuana products. Now,
they did not differentiate here with cannabis being eaten or

(01:49:39):
cannabis being smoked or vaped. They didn't talk or they
do talk about the findings. I'm just perusing it. Maybe
they did.

Speaker 9 (01:49:50):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:49:50):
The bottom line is that cannabis use is shown to
have contributing to heart disease and a risk of mortalit.
Here's something interesting. Okay. Now they're saying also that any
use of alcohol, any use of alcohol is unsafe and

(01:50:11):
is a carcinogen, even casual drinking where you have some people.
Remember they were advocating red wine is good for you,
or wine is good for you. People still have that illusion.
But according to this, and you know, there's there's not
a lot of people disagreeing with it as far as
major medical journals disagreeing, but apparently even casual use of alcohol.

(01:50:35):
I know this is going to make my YouTube morons.
They want to know who funded the study. Okay, I'm
going to find out. But that is a study. And
and if you if you listen to local news and
national news, it's pretty ubiquitous as to the agreement. I mean,

(01:50:58):
not all of these people. If you're in sine waiting
that these people are being bought off by the UH
alcohol industry, I mean or not the by the anti
alcohol industry. First of all, I don't think there are
enough people against drinking that would chip in that much
money to fund to study. I mean, you can be
against something and not be rich. I think, if anything,

(01:51:19):
it would be the people who sell liquor to do
a study to dispute it. But so far I don't
know of any of those studies that dispute it. Now,
somebody wrote me a text about the April They want
to know more about the April fifth gathering. What exactly
is it and why am I there? So April fifth,
we're going to have Barry Miller and Barry. If you're listening,
you can call in at any time. We're going to

(01:51:43):
have a seminar on April fifth, and what it's going
to do is it's going to talk about the main
vest Era turn key program. So many people are confused
about this program. I want to lay it out to
you very plain and simple, so you understand it. Okay.
It is not a pooled investment. People think they're buying
into a group of homes. They're not. And they want

(01:52:04):
to know, well, how do I know how my home
or what I own and what I don't own and
how do I know I'm going to get my return
and it's going to be divided up properly. First and foremost,
they're not pulled investments. If you do Vestera turnkey, it
is not a pooled investment, It is not subject to
government regulation. And it is simply you buying your own

(01:52:27):
home through Vestera. That's it. Vestera. How do they make money?
Why do they do it? Because they make money when
you buy the house. They make money when you sell
the house. The end, you're not even obligated to sell
it with them, but if you do, they make money. There.
They make a paltry six hundred dollars a year to

(01:52:48):
answer all your phone calls. Then they have a management company,
they arrange They even help me find homeowners insurance for
the house. So in other words, they coordinate everything. But
you buy the house under your name, you get the
loan under your name, and you put up the cash
under your name, the cash maybe about seventy five or

(01:53:09):
eighty thousand, and then you have the loan and then
you own the home. But as part of the turty
the Vestera turnkey program, they're constantly with you doing all
of the legwork, all of it, all of it, and
you're you're just an owner and you get to sell

(01:53:29):
that property when they tell you to and make a
tremendous return. You can decide to do it again and
do a ten thirty one exchange or just take the
money and run. But that's essentially how it works. You
are a client, you go to Ysteric Turnkey. They're your
real estate people and they help you find a home
in a market that they have researched. Their research is

(01:53:52):
top notch, and that's really where they make their money.
What is the best buy now, that'll be the best
sale later that will bring me the most rent. That's
what they do. So we have more coming up on

you're a troubleshooter three all three seven one three talks
seven one three eight two five five. What's going on
in your life today, Peter? What's happening, sir?

Speaker 14 (01:55:05):
Well, I've just been listening to you. I've been listening
to you for a long time, and one thing I
would say is that you usually are pretty open to
ideas on both sides, and.

Speaker 3 (01:55:19):
I like that.

Speaker 14 (01:55:22):
Mark is not. And you know, first of all, I'm
an old guy, but I've had a lot of experience,
and I was trained as a mediator, and I worked
for many years in conflict resolution. And one of the
things that one of the things that I believe in

(01:55:45):
is that usually there's two sides to the story, and
when you stop looking at the other person's point of view,
it turns into a yelling mass, it turns into unreasonable
discussions that really don't solve the problems. I don't I

(01:56:06):
don't like the current administration. It's not that I don't
like and I object to the facts that like somebody
will come along like Mark and say, uh, you don't
you know you don't want to get rid of the
gang members. That's not true.

Speaker 3 (01:56:24):
I want to get rid of the gang or the
government waste, or the government waste or all of that
illegal immigration.

Speaker 14 (01:56:33):
I don't know. I I and most of the people
that are being criticized believe in all that, but they
don't believe it's being done properly.

Speaker 9 (01:56:45):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (01:56:47):
I was in management for Peter Peter.

Speaker 3 (01:56:50):
Isn't it fair to say, Peter, since it's Peter, since
you're a reasonable man, let's let's do it back and
forth here. He can't hear me. I know that's why
he keeps talking. Our phone system is fed up. But Peter, listen,
here's the bottom line. I think one of the things
going on is we don't hear the other side. But

(01:57:10):
you have to admit that the Democrats had a pretty
long time to start implementing changes to the border, changes
to all the governments of funding crap. They did changes
to all of the social security payments going out illegally.
But to say that they're against all that stuff, yet
they never take action. They have never taken an anti

(01:57:33):
immigrant or anti illegal immigrant or anti criminal immigrant ever
have they taken any action ever? So how do you
trust them? Peter? I do know that if you get
one hundred people in a room and fifty year Democrats
and fifty year Republicans, I do know they're going to
agree on a lot of stuff if they get to

(01:57:54):
that conversational level. But why don't the Democrats. Why haven't
they done anything? Why they've been in control for so long?
Why haven't they done anything? You said they're against all
this stuff, then why didn't they do anything about it?

Speaker 14 (01:58:09):
Listen, I'm not talking for everybody. I'm talking from me.
You asked, Okay, people have thought about the administration. I'm
saying that I'm one hundred percent in favor of gang
members being detained or whatever. I'm not in favor of

(01:58:34):
the administration not following the constitution, not following the rules
of law, not following the pre teachers that this country's
based upon.

Speaker 3 (01:58:50):
What do you know? Can you help me out, help
me understand, Peter, because I've always said, Look, I respect
people's opinions, but I just need to know where you
come from. Tell me what they're doing about the illegal
gang members. That's unconstitutional?

Speaker 14 (01:59:04):
Well, first, first of all, there's been no hearings, there's
been no process determining. And I'm not defending these people,
but all I'm saying is that they don't follow the procedures.
And it's the same thing. It's it's well, how do

(01:59:25):
you how do you know that?

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
How do you how do you know that? See, Peter,
that's what I want to know that basically, because you're
listening to bias news telling you that they're violating some company.
You know, they're according to the Attorney General. According to
the Attorney General, they're doing everything legally. So who are
you listening to that is telling you that the Trump

(01:59:48):
administration is Listen, Peter, Peter, Peter. The thought doesn't just
come to you in the middle of the night. I'm
simply asking a simple question. Who gave you the indication
they were doing the wrong?

Speaker 7 (02:00:00):
Just wait?

Speaker 3 (02:00:01):
Can you please wait and answer one question? One question?
Who told you they weren't doing it the right way?

Speaker 14 (02:00:10):
The Constitution of the United States?

Speaker 3 (02:00:13):
Oh so you compared? Okay, good, I'm glad I finally
have a constitutional scholar. Show me the lines in the
Constitution and where the Trump administration is violating those The
spirit of that law. Tell me, gone, I'm listening. You
actually studied the Constitution and compared it to the actions
of their deportation, and you have concluded it's unconstitutional. You

(02:00:36):
didn't hear it on CNN. You concluded it on your own.
So please give me the area in the Constitution I
should refer to and how it's being violated. Please help me.

Speaker 14 (02:00:49):
The Constitution says that before a person it can be removed.
And I'm not talking about illegal, I'm talking I know.

Speaker 3 (02:01:01):
I want to know where you're frod. I want to
know where in the Constitution. Where in the Constitution? Quote
it for me. Please quote me the verse and the
section so I can find it. I have the Constitution
right here, don't have.

Speaker 14 (02:01:12):
My copy with me. I'd mean happy to call you
back and with a copy of a Constitution in front
of me.

Speaker 3 (02:01:18):
So I want to know if you honest to God,
please honest to God, did you read the Constitution and
then line by line compare it to what the Trump
administration is doing? And you did what the Supreme Court
justices are supposed to be doing. You read it and
compared it to the Constitution. You did not do that,
and you know you did not do that, Peter. You

(02:01:40):
know you did not do that.

Speaker 14 (02:01:42):
That is not true.

Speaker 3 (02:01:43):
You okay, Peter, goodbye, Peter. I don't believe you. I'm sorry.
I don't believe that you took out the administration and
started line by line checking the Trump administration for adherence
to the Constitution. You heard it on CNN or MSNBC.
I'm sorry, Peter. And you don't have your copy of

(02:02:04):
the Constitution with you. It takes six seconds to get
a copy online. What you're saying is a bunch of bs.
You never did a constitutional check in your life on anything, Ray,
what is your comment?

Speaker 9 (02:02:15):
Go ahead, Hey, Tom, thank you for having me on
the show. You know, it just amazes me the level
of ignorance that some of these people call up and
try and defend what I call the indefensible. I mean

(02:02:36):
President Trump. Yes, he has his fault, so you know what,
he's a fighter. He fights for our country like no
other man has done. And after the last four years
of what we call a somewhat of a president who

(02:02:56):
he really wasn't an acting president. I don't know who
was running the country, but we all experience. I know,
after four years of a horrible situation, I mean, come on, guys,
pick it up. We've got to. We know, we've got
a fighter. And does he make mistakes here? He does, okay,

(02:03:21):
but you know what, he's fighting for us. He's fighting
to bring in more businesses into our country like no
other president I've ever seen before. I mean, all the
millions and trillions of dollars of all these countries are
saying now, they're going to come into our country and
they're going to invest in our country. Biden, Biden was asleep.

Speaker 3 (02:03:45):
At the wheel. And oh no, no one doubt no
one doubts that. And thank you, thank you Ray for
your comments. Really, but this guy is saying that he
went through the Constitution line by line to show where
the Trump administration what they're doing is unconstitutional. I am
a student of the Constitution. I did read the Constitution.
I do have the Constitutions. I have the Declaration of Independence.

(02:04:07):
I also have the Communist Manifesto in Longhand, and I've
read them, and I've read the Koran. So when people
talk about these things, they talk out their ass most
of the time. Most of the time they're just farting
out there. They're farting words because they know not what
they're talking about. There is nothing I can find in
this constitution, nothing that even remotely comes close to what

(02:04:28):
the president is doing. What the judges trying to do
is make law from the bench. Judges now think, hmm,
this is what the law is, but you know what,
I don't like it, and they make rulings from the bench.
They're legislating from the bench, and we should not allow it.
Of course, we don't want them to legislate one way
or another. It's just absolutely wrong. Go with a sure

three O three seven one three talks seven one three
eight two five five. Mike has a comment on the

(02:05:37):
Great Colorado Payback. That's where funds go to die. If
you ever had a refine and you never collected the
money that you was refunded in maybe an s grow
for taxes, or if you left and had an insurance
policy and you were getting paid for like a hail
claim and you never collected it, or there was still
some on the table, or if somebody had a savings

(02:05:58):
account they forgot about it. It goes off and to
never never land. Eventually the institutions have to translate transfer
to the state treasury and it's kept in what's called
as cheat funds. And then that's the Colorado Payback is
where they list your name. You go in and see
if you owed any money, and if you are, you
get it. Go ahead.

Speaker 7 (02:06:23):
Tom. Let me back up a little bit about your
caller that said he read the Constitution. He's never going
to find that in the Constitution because it's in the
If anything, it would be in the Bill of Rights.
That's where that would come from.

Speaker 3 (02:06:41):
But the Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution, right,
the Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution.

Speaker 7 (02:06:49):
So my issue was the Great Colorado Payback, and I
called you at the close of the show. Monday, I
lost my parent and it was.

Speaker 3 (02:06:57):
About three dollars. It was about three dollars, wasn't it
about three dollars?

Speaker 7 (02:07:01):
Three dollars? So I called him and I said, I
will send you a claim for him, and they told
me they wanted a death certificate. Okay, uploaded that. I
get an email back that says they want a copy
of the will, including a list of all of the
errors and the percentages that are due those errors, along

(02:07:26):
with all of my personal representative paperwork for this three dollars. Right,
whatever happened to let the punishment fit the crime.

Speaker 3 (02:07:35):
Well, here's the thing. I know you're saying three dollars,
but the worlds weren't written for three dollars. They may
have been written for three million dollars. So if somebody,
let's just say it's three million. I know you're saying three,
but let's say three million, because now it makes sense. Sir,
we have to make sure you represent this estate. This
could be me saying he's the son or the brother.

(02:07:58):
So I have to prove who I am. Then I
have to prove I have a right to the money
and that I'm not trying to go in and claim
it before my sister, who gets half of it. So
really what they're doing is proper.

Speaker 9 (02:08:10):
That it is.

Speaker 7 (02:08:14):
Okay, but you talk about an entire waste of time.
There should be provisions for dollar amounts less than exr.

Speaker 3 (02:08:24):
I totally agree with you. I totally agree there should
be more of a due diligence on the bigger ones.
But let's just say it's one hundred dollars or less.
They should. I totally agree with you one hundred percent
that to go through the same stuff for three dollars
as you do for three million dollars is ridiculous. So

(02:08:44):
they just want to see the will, and they want
to see that it is being distributed properly and that
you're not trying to screw the other errors. Sure, except
and I know you're not doing this for the three dollars.

Speaker 7 (02:08:59):
No, I lost them twenty nine years ago, which means
the estate was closed twenty eight years ago, and my
parents did not have a updated will, so we had
to go to court and name me as the personal representative,
and me and my three brothers agreed to share everything equally.

Speaker 3 (02:09:25):
And are your three brothers? Are your brothers still alive?

Speaker 14 (02:09:30):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:09:32):
Well, then you got to divide it by your three brothers.
You got to divide it by four, I mean four
divided by Wait, you have three dollars. I'm sorry, it's
three dollars that they divide by four.

Speaker 7 (02:09:45):
Seventy five cents. So, well, you know, front this agreement.
I can charge them thirty dollars an hour to go
through all of this BS to collect the three dollars?

Speaker 3 (02:09:58):
Who can you charge that to.

Speaker 7 (02:10:03):
My brothers?

Speaker 3 (02:10:04):
Who?

Speaker 7 (02:10:06):
Because I took an administrated fee as the personal representative
to get through.

Speaker 3 (02:10:13):
Of the That's right, that's right, that's right. If they
truly wanted you to pursue it, and they requested that
you do it, they would have to pay you for it.
That's right. But it's you can't just go ahead and
do it and charge them because you have a fiduciary responsibility.
So you can't just go and and charge them. You'd

(02:10:36):
have to ask your brothers. But you can. You can
just let it go too. But and I sense it's
not the three dollars. But I don't understand what you
want to accomplish truly, what do you want to accomplish?
Tell me I want to know. I'm a fighter too.
But I want to know what there is to get
at the end of this fight.

Speaker 7 (02:10:56):
Let the punishment fit the cry.

Speaker 3 (02:11:01):
Well, tell me what that means. Please tell me what
that means. Okay, but you're not going to accomplish that
in this particular battle. You need to go to the
state legislature and have them legislate it. And one of
the ways to get a bill started in a state
is to say something that Trump likes it so they

(02:11:21):
can vote, so they can do something that he dislikes.
I don't know. Maybe you say, you know, Trump would
never go for this, but we should make it easier
for people to get their money so Dose doesn't take it.
I'm joking. What I'm saying, Mike is you're not going
to get anybody who cares. You want to know the truth.
Go to the state legislation. Nobody's going to care about

(02:11:45):
the inheritance laws in the state of Colorado for his
CHET funds at this point.

Speaker 14 (02:11:51):
Right so.

Speaker 7 (02:11:53):
Ever, and take up space on the state server.

Speaker 3 (02:11:57):
Well, it's not taking it, you know. Yeah, Mike, tell
me what your what what is your goal here? Truly?
Why are you so? Why is this taking up so
much real estate in your brain? What's going on with it.
It's just is there something more?

Speaker 16 (02:12:18):
Tom, It's a matter of principle for Mike, I've tried
to apply for the car.

Speaker 3 (02:12:24):
Well, okay, so the principle a principle, Okay, what's the principle?
There's not even a good principle.

Speaker 16 (02:12:30):
Nobody's trying to get the word out over the over
the air that maybe some citizens will complain to the
Colorado'll pay back and simplify the process. I know he's
know where he's coming from. I've tried to get some
money from some.

Speaker 3 (02:12:45):
I never said, I never said I don't understand the process,
and I do, and I think it's ridiculous. I totally agree.
But what I'm saying is when is it worth fighting
for principle when okay, there are times is the one
are we going to go and change the way the
Great Colorado Payback distributes the states? Because first of all,

(02:13:08):
what they're doing is entirely properly proper. So what we
have to do is come up with an amount at
which it's improper. I think up to one hundred dollars
would be safe. Are there, by the way, are you
know wouldn't that be safe? Up to one hundred bucks. Look,
if someone's going to go through the time and energy

(02:13:28):
to rob their siblings of that part of one hundred dollars,
let him fight it out. First of all, I don't
even think they should need to know the siblings because
he's a personal representative. So the part I disagree with
them is this, if he's the personal representative, he can
take that money and do what he wants with it.
If he doesn't distribute it properly. That's not on the

(02:13:51):
state that the siblings can come after him personally. That's
where it should be in the civil law. It's not
the state's responsible ability to see that a will is
distributed properly. It isn't. All they have to do is
get it to the personal representative, and he made that
very very easy for them to do. You started a

(02:14:11):
brand new estate, right I think he said he did,
But he's not on now. So three oh three seven, one,
