Speaker 4 (04:43):
It's a TikTok once. I don't know if it's about that.

Speaker 2 (04:45):

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Of it, like we all do.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, kid, Chris, show that there is Sarah.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Yeah, dude, he's really grown on me.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It should it should.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
I hope everybody else feels the same way.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Ye love the last good. What's happening out there in
the world.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
The other day one of my favorite late night spots,
actually they had to announce an increase in their prices
on their menu.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, waffle house, Christopher, what is that the story? Oh?
I saw it on the news. Imagine house. I hate that.
You know, I know what's going on.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
I tried to lead into it. Pay attention less Yea.

Speaker 11 (05:41):
As the host of the show, stop knowing stuff exactly.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
Well, so waffle House and they're over two thousand locations,
said sucks.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
It does suck.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well, it sucks for them because they got like news
like they got.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
All this freak out of their control.

Speaker 11 (05:56):
Telling everybody that they're raising prices. That sucks, right, like
it's not so awesome. Yeah, it's already set, like it's
not too bad. Well, you can eat it waffles two
people for like under twenty bucks.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Oh, it's awesome.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
So they said they have to add a fifty cents
surcharge to all of their egg items, which is pretty
much everything. But really, yeah, not too bad.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I'll still go.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
So yeah, eggflation definitely sucks.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Fla show.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Oh oh so now the average price per dozen for
eggs coming in at over four dollars and ten cents.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Dude, I went to the grocery store because I buy eggs.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
I hard boil them and I put them in my fridge,
and you know, I eat them every day at work.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
It's like Easter every day for you. Yeah, and and
color them also.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
No, but man, I'll tell you what. Yeah, they're expensive.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
It's like, oh god, damn four ten and statistics are
showing that's twice as much as what they were in
August of twenty twenty three. And nobody knows exactly when
this is all going to go down.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Well, and they're all mad at doctor Falcis.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
He's making them all wear those mass all these these
chickens a running around with the masks and stuff and
making them all fly six exactly.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Can blame the bird flew on. Those hens definitely need
to stay six feet apart, put their little masks back on,
get the shots, whatever they have to do. So waffle
House is saying that's.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
The chicken economy. All of the.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Waffle House is saying, that's exactly what triggered everything. It's
now affected the chicken population, causing an egg shortage and
get those more than thirteen million hens have now been impacted.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah and.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah, whether they've keeled.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Over, well, they're saying whatever to that.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
It's spread to those Canadian geese that you see everywhere
in town yep, which is weird because these Canadian geese
they fear nothing.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
They still sit there. Evil.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, they'll sit and they'll just make a nets in
the middle of like a Walmart parking lot, and then
one is sitting on the nest and yellow just stands gone,
like what what come on?

Speaker 5 (07:58):
That's usually the dude protect I know, they stick out
their tongue.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
They'll chase you. Horrible funny. Why don't they use them
to chase people and steal makeup?

Speaker 5 (08:12):
They're better security guards than any sort of rent a
cop that's hanging out in the store.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
You see when they chase somebody out of the store.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
No one would ever steal a Mabeling blush over.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Again, Yeah, that's those things are fun. Yeah, they're dying.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
I know it's not good.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
So waffle House said in this statement, consumers and restaurants
are being forced to make these difficult decisions. Again, it's
out of their control. And they said they're going to
adjust or remove the surcharge as the market conditions allow
them to do so. So they're saying, well, we hope
these price fluctuations will be short lived. We can't predict
how long this is going to last.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Is it with chicken too, though, like if you buy
chicken or is it just the eggs. I don't understand this.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
It's an egg thing. So they're saying this is a
constant threat to egg farms. But the hens are the
ones that are going through it. But what about chicken though,
I don't think the chicken, I don't, Oh yeah, because
they just kill them anyways.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, it's not a chicken ish right right.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Right, I don't understand. I don't know whatever.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
But as long as my lap chicken isn't at the Kroger,
isn't affected.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Speaking of lap chicken, That's what we had for dinner
last night, and it was delicious. That rotisserie smell as
soon as you walk into Kroger around four o'clock in
the afternoon.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
You can't get better than that. Once they make a
candle of that, I am in.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
I'll be drooling all over the flame.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Oh my god, it's so good. And you don't even
eat anything else with it.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
No, you could just pull it off to go. The
reason why we call it lap chicken is because you
buy that. It's like you have that in the front
seat before you leave the park a lot. It's in
your lap and you're picking it apart in your last Especially, the.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Skin keeps your legs nice and toasty.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
You gotta love it.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Imagine heaven if they made rotisserie pizzas. Yeah, have a
cheese pizza with the rotisserie chicken on top of it.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Oh, like a chicken bacon ranch situation. You could make
that on your own.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Christopher, I'll fight some Canadian geese for that.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
I feel like you're losing that battle.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Maybe maybe not. It's worth the fight.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
As soon as you hear the hiss, it's over.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
This is sports.

You just sit there, and you know you're sitting there
in that luxury sweetness who's a dirt bag over there?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
But they check me and they don't check the people
behind me ever.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Good it's probably because you're not paying attention.

Speaker 13 (12:40):
Probably probably walk looking homeless or something that just look
like me homeless, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
But they check everybody.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Don't you think you're a security risk? It's a it's
the same people every time. I'm always there and the
people behind me are always there, but they.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
One seven Sarah Elise on the phone is a legendary broadcaster,
kind of like our very own Marty Brenneman here with
the Reds Merril Reese has been the voice of the
Philadelphia Eagles since nineteen seventy seven.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
And now I call them the American Eagles because.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
I think this is America's team this weekend.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, Cincinnati or a Cincinnati and arrest of America.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
There's a couple spots in the country that want, uh,
the Philadelphia Eagles to stomp out the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
We don't want the three peete to happen.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Good morning, mister Merril Reese. It is awesome to talk
to you once again, Chris.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's nice to hear from you. It really is that
everybody here is very, very excited about this coming Sunday night.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Have you been Are you up early or are you
just getting to bed there in New Orleans.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
I'm I'm up early to speak with you here in Philadelphia.
I want to leave till Friday.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Oh okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
What are the vibes like in Philly right now?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Crazy? I mean that's all anybody talks about.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well it's gonna look. But you know what, once upon
a time it was so unique. Now this team was
going to its third Super Bowl in eight years.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
Yeah, Yeah, that's how Cincinnati was when the Bengals went
a few years ago, that's all everyone was talking about.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, Merril, I came to Philadelphia the year after they
went to the Super Bowl with Donovan mcnah and. I
grew up in Syracuse, so when I went there, it
was exciting that to go to Philadelphia when Donovic McNabb
was there, and that.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Will be two thousand, that would be twenty twenty five,
that's two thousand and.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Four, Yes, yep.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
And I was very excited to go. And the team
was always very nice to me, and then you are
always very nice to me. And now we got Jalen Hurts,
which going into the Super Bowl, I think with this guy,
I mean the number one priority obviously is to protect
him during this game. During this game, and I mean,

(15:33):
I'm scared yet, I Am going to be on the
edge of my seat because this is a scary team.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
They're taking on Kansas City without a doubt.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Well I think so too. But if you look at
the roster from top to bottom and you look at
it objectively, the Eagles have the better team this year.
Now there's the X factor who wears number fifteen for
Kansas City, and a lot of us feel that the
Eagles have to go into that final two minutes with
at least a ten point lead. Yep, because you don't

(16:02):
want the ball in the hands of Mahomes. If it's
a one score.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Game, that's right.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
I feel like that's when the Chiefs are getting it done.
It's in the final minute or two. So yeah, giving
them any time on that clock is not going to
be good.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Absolutely. In fact, last night, just for fun, I watched
the repeat of Super Bowl fifty two where the Eagles
beat the Patriots, and that got very scary, and watching
it again where Brady threw that last hail Mary passed
that was pretty close to being caught. Now they were

(16:36):
don by eight, so they would have needed another two points.
But it gets very scary in these situations when you
have these quarterbacks like Brady and Mahomes. They've been through this.
They pull out so many games that you don't want
to put it in their hands.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Right now, do you feel Meryl, we're talking to Meryl Reese.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
He's the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles on the radio network,
and you know, just behind the scenes, I picked up
satellite radio so I could listen to you guys, you know,
because you could listen to both sides whenever the games
are playing and stuff, and I just love listening to
you and my quick and you know, just just hearing
you know, the Eagles broadcast from the Eagles themselves. And

(17:17):
I'm so excited about this too, because you know, it
seemed like the past couple of years, the Eagles were
on the on the cusp, on the cusp, and.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Then there was like a meltdown.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
This year, no meltdown going into this, UH is going
to be exciting, But I feel like we're not going
to see the real the game game until after halftime
when they go in and they can figure out what
each team is doing.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
That's where it matters. Yep.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Well, I agree with you to a point, because the
deeper you go into a game, the more critical each
play becomes. But you don't want the Eagles to get
off to a slow start early in the season that
those September games. And I don't really look at September
games as seriously because teams don't do what they do
in training training camp. They used to really have hard

(18:02):
training camps where they tackled and then they played the regulars.
The Eagles play no regulars in the preseason games and
they have quick hour and a half summer camp practices
without any real hitting. So those summer games, those September
games become what the old preseason games used to be.
So you don't see that. But when the Eagles got

(18:22):
through those four games and they were two and two,
they had their buy and they haven't been the same
team since. They have been a very efficient team. They've
had very few turnovers. So you don't want to come
out slow against this Kansas City team. You don't want
to be in a hole. You don't want to be
down by fourteen points off ahead.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
Oh no, And you guys have one of the best
running backs in the league. Talking about Berkley, I mean
that dude is an absolute beast. I feel like with
him on the team had a pretty good shot of
getting this done.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yes, but I'm worried about them all, you know, like
they do with a Jamar Chase here in Cincinnati. I'm
worried about them shutting him down.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
The truth of the matter is he's really out one
of the best running backs. He's the best running back
this year with over two thousand yards yeah during the season,
and you know, if he has thirty yards. He needs
thirty yards to become the greatest ground gainer in NFL
history over the course of a season. At a postseason,

(19:28):
he will beat the record of Terrell Davis.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
That's incredible, Merril. This is exciting for you. I know
it is in the city of Philadelphia. I mean, this
is going to be gigantic for them, and the entire
country is going to be watching this because, like it's
been said, there is a Kansas City fatigue and who
doesn't love Davy versus Goliath. In Philadelphia itself has always

(19:51):
had that Davy versus Goliath chip on its shoulder.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
I know, I've lived there.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
It's always been Philadelphia against the world, against New York,
against Washing, against everybody. And I love that. It's a
great storyline. But now with that said, Merril Reese, what
do you feel about the uh, the things that are
said online when people well, we'll take screenshots or little
video clips and say that the NFL is fixed, and

(20:15):
there there there, the NFL is is, The refs are
are on the side of Kansas City.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
How do you shut down the rest this weekend?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Are you in on the zoom meetings of the NFL script?

Speaker 4 (20:26):
What do you think about that with the rest of the.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Chief I honestly don't even read that stuff. But listen,
I'm gonna be honest with you guys, and watching the games, Uh,
you don't want to breathe on Patrick Mahomes or there's
a flying or if he dives down, you don't want
to dive anywhere close to him. You want to just
tap him lately on the back of his shoulders. That's it,
once he's down, because there's no They did it with

(20:51):
Brady for years. They probably did it for Peyton Manning.
They protect the marquee quarterbacks. I just think that happens
that I I don't think people are wrong when they
say there is a little different gauge, a little different
standard when it comes to calling the personal fouls. But
let's face it, with quarterbacks today, if you touch them

(21:13):
on the face mask, the flag comes out. Just for
the Eagles, just play smart, I mean, make your hits,
but don't put anything extra into it. Don't slam him
to the ground, or if he dives down, just touch him,
don't pile on. They have to be smart in this game,
otherwise it could cost them. So is there at the
game six of course not. And the officials are the

(21:36):
highest the best officials that from the entire season, the
highest rated officials. So they're not doing anything but on
purpose to hurt the Eagles. I don't buy any of
that stuff. But the fact of the matter is when
you have a marquee quarterback out there, Look, Jalen Hurts
is a marquee quarterback too, but I think I think

(21:56):
they give Patrick Mahomes a little more consideration.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (22:01):
Jim Joe Burrow gets his head ripped off and spun
around and they're like, that is fine.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Well, Jalen Hurts is a tough quarterback, so he can
take it. Now.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Now before we let you go, this is the Great
Merril Reees talking to us, the voice of the Philadelphia Eagles,
the American Eagles, I call him. And now you called
into my show and I was on the mighty ninety
four WISP back in the day. You called in my
show twice with breaking news, and one was when t
was one you.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Realized that when you left the station disappeared.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah it's gone, I know, I know, but T it
was when t O was doing sit ups in his
front lawn. You called into my show and made the
big announcement that he was leaving, and then there was
another breaking news story is when you called in and
gave you a review of the movie Borat on my show,
and it.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Was one of the funniest things.

Speaker 7 (22:51):
Here.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
You try to get through telling the scenes of the
movie and just you couldn't do it because you kept
laughing the movie.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
Borat, We get a little bit of that.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
I don't remember, definitely don't remember. I can tell you
the games that were played, the stores, the quarters, what
happened in two thousand and four, I can't remove remember.

Speaker 9 (23:12):
I did remember seeing.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Boar, Yes, I did marthone, but I but I don't
remember my review. I thought it was funny. It wasn't
my favorite movie of all time. I would take Forrest
Gump over that.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Ask Christopher about Forrest Gump.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I'm not a fan of Forrest.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
But you know hearing you, Meryl, because yeah, for years
we've known your voice as the guy that knew, you know,
all about the Eagles, sports, all that stuff, and then
you're on my show and I'm like, well, Meryl's on
the phone, and it's got to be something big, and
you're giving reviews about how funny Borat was, and you
couldn't stop laughing like that, and it was like, what
is going on, MARYL I'm looking for I.

Speaker 7 (23:53):
Have I have broken up.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
I have broken up on the air with the Eagles
games too. Once you want to you have time for.

Speaker 7 (23:59):
A real quick story.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
We're doing a game. We're doing a game of the
preseason game in Pittsburgh, and I had a statistician by
the name of Jack Edelston who was a practical joker,
and we're coming. You usually bury the national anthem and
use it for three thirty second spots, but if you
come back and the national anthem is still going, you
give creditudes ever singing that was the national anthem was

(24:21):
performed by Patty LaBelle or whatever. So we're coming back
early and there's a group singing the national anthem in
Pittsburgh and I said, quick, somebody get me the look
at the rundown cheek, get me the name of the
anthem singers. So Jack Edelston and I don't realize that's
this practical joker who hands me a slip of paper,
and without thinking about it, I say, that was the
national anthem here at three Rivers Stadium has performed by

(24:43):
and then I read the Pennsylvania Home for the Criminally
Insane Glee Club, and I don't realize I say it
until I go into the starting lineup and a voice
in my head says that I just say the Pennsylvania
at Home for the Criminally Insane Glee Club, and then
I went they had.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
To go back and play three more commercials.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well, listen, man, that's what makes it fun.

Speaker 7 (25:08):
And I promise you I won't do that in New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Well, Marils, have so much fun this weekend.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, Meryl, you're I'm excited to watch a game, obviously,
and I'll be listening to the broadcast because I'll be
running around as well doing stuff because you know, i'd
being a family guy and all that. And I'll have
it on listening to your broadcast, you and Mike, and
I'm very happy to hear your voice, and thank you
very much for taking the time to come on and
talk to us here. And good luck to Philadelphia egos.

(25:36):
Please do America the favor and let's take these guys out.
We don't want to stream peat no three peat.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, Well, I hope you're right, and I appreciate your
good wishes, and it's always nice to speak with you, Chris,
happy to come on anytime.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Very good. Meryl Reese, thank you very much, and you
take care. Okay, have a great day you too.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Take care, buddy. The cross from me is Sarah Elise.
She brings you the stuff that's important for your ear hole.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Hi the ear hole.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
Stop lead run down to the fifth floor.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Oh no, did you use the body?

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Oh yeah, the little.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Lady was doing some cleaning.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
God, I mante it back.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
We need we need to get on her schedule. I
was just gonna say, we need a calendar in here.
When the little lady that cleans the bathroom, she's always
in there on her phone.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
She doesn't clean well.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
This time she had like the big bucket thing blocking
the door, and like the caution tape and yeah, this
is the stuff that I need to see on her calendar,
so I know.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah, but she just sits in there on her phone a.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Lot of times and fixing the pony tail.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
I will say this though, the bathroom is always pristine.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Because she blocks the door and nobody uses it.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
I think I'm the only one that gets in there sometimes,
just her and I and they're at five o'clock in
the morning together. Well, aside from the bathroom on the
fifth and sixth floors. Yes, we got some breaking news
in the fast food world. Saint Patrick's Day is on Monday,

(27:12):
March seventeenth, but McDonald's is getting a head start on celebrating.
Uh oh, so they're bringing back a crowd favorite, that
vanilla minty whipped top Shamrock Shake.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Oh boy, to bring it back early.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
They say it's coming back Monday, February tenth.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Is that early?

Speaker 5 (27:31):
I guess it's kind of right on time. Oh that way,
you've got like six seven whatever weeks to celebrate with it.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
That makes sense because if they're bringing it back early,
because I know they've been having trouble getting people to
come back because of Donalds, well because inflation for the
past couple of years or whatever, it has been an issue.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
So now ohh will always find money for McDonald's, right,
So to.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Get people back in. I guess that makes sense. So good.
I hope it works.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
The Shamrock Shake. I've only had this thing one time,
but I know people are a blesssed with it. You
have little girls, this is probably their thing, right.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
I don't know if they've ever had it, but I
will get it for them if they want to.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
You could be Dad of the Year and take them
through the drive throughout.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
I'll do anything. I will buy my kid's love easily.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
I can be bought with a shamrock shake. Also coming back,
McDonald says they're bringing the Oreo Shamrock mcflurry, same concept.
I'm mente soft serve with Oreo pieces. Yeah, there's kind
of a lot going on with that. Yeah, but I'm
not against trying it.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Sounds pretty good. And they say with every purchase of
these things, they're donating twenty five cents to Ronald McDonald
House charities.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Okay, big fan of that.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
So they say the goal is to raise over five
million dollars and that provides over fifty thousand overnight stays
for families that are staying with their kids getting medical attention.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
That's a you know, Donald's doing some good. Ronald McDonald
House has been around since I've been alive.

Over the weekend to be available to answer questions from
staff and we are not paid to the on call
because we don't always have to answer any phone calls
like we don't always get is that legal?

Speaker 16 (30:24):
There could be an UH wage an hour violation there.
I don't know what jurisdiction you're in and the details
of how you're supposed to be on call. And what
I mean does that keep you from other things you'd
otherwise be doing. It certainly sounds like there could be
a wage an hour violation there. You'd need to talk
that over with an employment attorney. We certainly can get
you linked up with one that can help unpack that

(30:46):
for you. But that's what that's what you'd be looking at,
a potential you know, wage and hour violation.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Okay, does it sound like one, Stuart.

Speaker 16 (30:53):
I wanted to talk to Rob, But yeah, it sounds
something that that's worth looking into.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Okay. Is this a chain or is this a local business?

Speaker 15 (31:04):
It is?

Speaker 6 (31:06):
It's a hospital Okay.

it's not just you too, So it's a bigger deal
than just you. Yeah, so let's get your information. I'll
get you linked up with my friend.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (31:17):

Speaker 9 (31:19):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (31:19):

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Hold on second, Erica, Hey Cole are you there? Yes, sir,
let's hear what's your question?

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Brother?

Speaker 9 (31:25):
Hey Stuart, Hey don I got a quick question for you.
So long story. Sure. I bought a two thousand and
seven Dodge Ram in twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four.
I wound up suing the dealership where I bought the
truck from, being that the truck was rusted completely. I
won the lawsuit. Title everything was supposed to be issued

(31:46):
to me. I went to the DMV to renew my
license and I asked about my title for my truck,
and they told me the finance company put a lean
on my title. I've called the lawyer, I've called the
finance company and they hang up on me and will
not talk to me. I just had a question, is

(32:06):
this legal?

Speaker 2 (32:08):
What did you win? Hold on saying what's up? Good? Again,
asked the question, what did you win in court? What
did did they give you? What did they give you?
What was your award?

Speaker 9 (32:20):
So the reward was fifteen dollars cash, okay, and the truck,
no more payments on the truck, no more.

Speaker 16 (32:28):
Payments on the truck everything, and you own that. You
own the title out right.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
At that point.

Speaker 9 (32:33):
Yeah, they said they were issuing me the title. And
there I went to the DMV, like I said, and
they told me there's a lean on the title through
the finance company.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (32:42):
You go right back to the court and force the
judgment that you were given.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Yeah, say they're icing you out now.

Speaker 9 (32:47):
The thing is it was settled outside of court through
being the lawyer I had hired was out of Tampa.
I live in Clearwater and finance company. Yeah that's awesome.
Here you have to.

Speaker 16 (33:04):
Settlement paperwork, right, Yeah, the court can your lawyer can
file a motion to enforce the settlement.

Speaker 9 (33:11):
He's not return to my call as I called him
all the time, called him like three times, and as.

Speaker 16 (33:15):
You can file it if you want to.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yeah, do you have the paperwork?

Speaker 9 (33:19):
I have everything through an email.

Speaker 16 (33:21):
This needs to go. This needs to go to here
and in front of the judge, uh to enforce this
and and uh make sure that this leans taken off.
These people's feet need to be held to the fire.
There could be sanctions against them for failing to abide
by a court order.

Speaker 9 (33:35):
Okay, So does just go to like a local courthouse
or just refile emotion?

Speaker 16 (33:40):
Yeah, there needs to be a motion filed in the courthouse. Uh,
in the in the case number that you uh were awarded.

and then everybody just kind of ice.

Speaker 10 (34:32):
Is the guy.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's like Sea Lightner he got there.

Speaker 16 (34:33):
There can be sanctions against you if you don't abide
by a court judgment.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Well what about the lawyer though, just like not answering
his calls or helping him out afterwards, I.

Speaker 16 (34:42):
Guess his representation has ended. It's not good customer service.
But right, yes, why is that Chuck?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Shut up? That's Chuck.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
Chuck is very excited to get ahead start on that tack.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, I know, and I don't know why I'm hitting
the stop button and it's not working, all right, So
go ahead?

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah, So so can anything to be done with thetorney, like,
can you get him in trouble? Like maybe call his mom?

Speaker 16 (35:04):
The representation is ended of this guy. His representations ended.
The lawyers committing no malpractice by not calling him back.
He's not committing he's not committing good customer service either.
Don't get me wrong, but no, his representation is ended.
He doesn't have any responsibilities left for this guy. Okay, okay,
all right, but if but if you don't want to
take his matter, just take the phone, call him politely decline.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah right, right, yeah, instead of just right. Wouldn't you
want to be like over the guy keeps calling?

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Wouldn't you want that to stop?

Speaker 9 (35:32):
Sure?

Speaker 16 (35:33):
And and and quite frankly, you want repeat business. You
want your clients to call you back. You want happy clients.

make a great living off of that.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, go ahead, Jeff Country, Jeff the drunk drifter? What

Yeah, go ahead, and hurry up.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
Well, anyways, I'm in the beer cooler right now, so
maybe it's cutting off the.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Intern Could you just ask your question? Who cares?

Speaker 8 (36:15):
All right?

Speaker 6 (36:16):
I have a paint he added, A certain organization, okay,
and I had a lot of I had a lot
of money in there, which well, I checked my account
in December. Why just rented apartment December sixteenth. This place
only charged me one fifty deposit and six fifty ranks. Well, anyways,

(36:38):
that certain organization I called and checked my account on
the thirty first. She said, I'm going to have a
dollar and thirty seven cents. The well, I had a lot. Why, like,
I had like almost about like forty two hundred, and
they're totally saved up from when I was home with
because they wasn't giving them all my money and the painting.

(36:59):
I told her about this. Well, anyway, so I called
that organization and talked to the supervisors. They said, oh,
we're sorry. The place where you're written at now when
you're saying, you know instead of the leaf, does stay
to either pay six to fifty or is it one
seventy five a week?

Speaker 2 (37:17):
I was paying?

Speaker 16 (37:19):
Jeff, what's your question?

Speaker 2 (37:19):
What's your question on the lease.

Speaker 6 (37:21):
No, I signed on the least six fifty a month.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
And what's your questions? Start telling Jane word, Jeff, what's
your question?

Speaker 6 (37:32):
My money's missing? So how do I go like about
getting action?

Speaker 9 (37:38):
Took it?

Speaker 16 (37:39):
Somebody else had access to your money to use your
money to sanuarys Jeff, Jeff, somebody else have access to
your bank account to use that money?

Speaker 6 (37:47):
No, no, no, no, she it goes, It goes to
that organization. The Social Security check.

Speaker 10 (37:53):
Does, the NUT check does.

Speaker 16 (37:54):
Was that organization? Hopefully a bank or financial institution.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
It's downtown, Craig. Chris told me, don't say the name
on it.

Speaker 16 (38:02):
I don't say the name, but.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
It's it's right on East.

Speaker 16 (38:07):
Well that's irrelevant.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Well, why did they have access to your money?

Speaker 6 (38:11):
Because they I don't know. They said that. I guess
these security you thought I was mentally incapable, scared from
my bond to something, so.

Speaker 16 (38:21):
They have some sort of guardianship over you.

Speaker 10 (38:23):
Then.

Speaker 6 (38:24):
Yeah, But anyway, what I'm getting at because I had
forty two hundred in there on December uh, last time
I checked actually January twelfth, and I had forty two
hundred dollars in there, and they only give me so
much a week and then and then plus I pay

(38:45):
I'm supposed to pay sixtyfty moments. All right.

Speaker 16 (38:48):
The couple of things here, well, and there's clearly a
lot that we don't know in order to fully answer
your question here, there's a lot of context that we
don't know. But let's just say, let's just say it
got taken from you there. If that's a theft, you
should be contacting the police and talking to them about that.
It would be a criminal matter first and foremost. Okay, okay,

(39:08):
and they can be ordered restitution as part of that.
But I mean, if if there's a legitimate theft, then yes,
contact So it's I.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
Got documentation of like the missing phones and everything, because
I went down there in the thirty first.

Speaker 16 (39:19):
All right, if there's a legitimate theft and you've got
documentation to back yourself up, it sounds like you have
good evidence to go to the police and see if
they can make a case for you. But there's a
lot of contacts that we're missing here. There you go,
all right, good luck, Jeff, Thanks.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
You very much, Stuart.

Speaker 7 (39:37):

So I live in Kentucky, but I have I have
a long criminal history. So I called the post office.
They told me to go follow report. So I go
down the police station and they harassed me like you
wouldn't leave.

Speaker 9 (42:14):
Yeah, you know what I mean?

Speaker 10 (42:18):
Did he what?

Speaker 2 (42:18):
Did they hit you and stuff?

Speaker 10 (42:21):
No? No, I felt like it though, yea.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
He said.

Speaker 10 (42:23):
I said, I smelled like weed, asked boy was growing
weed and all kinds of crazy stuff. I had to
practically force him to make a report. And then he
made the report, and so I got that.

Speaker 8 (42:40):
So what I do?

Speaker 6 (42:42):
What?

Speaker 2 (42:42):
What what is your question about?

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Three stories?

Speaker 10 (42:46):
Here? I'm discriminated again.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
Yes, I know, yeah, because we because of my past.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, I know, you're like the Waite Rodney King. Yeah
I believe so, I believe. So the man is holding
you down?

Speaker 10 (43:06):
Yes, yes, they helped me down a lot. Yea.

Speaker 16 (43:09):
I could give a public service announcement here, but it's
so elementary that I'm not even going to bother.

Speaker 10 (43:13):
What is it?

Speaker 16 (43:13):
What is it the point? What's the point do I
really need to tell the public. If you're going to
go make a police report, don't go in there wreaking
of weed?

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yeah, well I got it.

Speaker 10 (43:22):
In smoke weed. So I mean I didn't smoke weed
that day.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
So oh that day.

Speaker 10 (43:27):
There's just lying. Try to get out of my skin again.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
It's legal legal in Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Yeah yeah, Well they're trying to get you, dude. The
world is again to happen.

Speaker 10 (43:38):
Here's what's not happening. Okay, I guarantee you they're not
going to follow up with that report. Did you talk
to that late.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
Then? What you know?

Speaker 16 (43:49):
How ninety percent of these problems could be solved if
people just talk to their neighbors, Just talk to each
other's neighbors, come to an understanding, be friendly, be polite
of everybody. It's not that complicated.

Speaker 9 (44:02):
Yes, I know.

Speaker 10 (44:05):
So here's here's what really. What it is is that
the neighbor is also officials, and I believe that my report,
they are not going to go and talk to them.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Damn.

Speaker 10 (44:19):
So I'm afraid to call them back, yeah and ask.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
About this, I know, because next thing, you know, you'll
probably end up missing, right yeah, probably yeah, in a
trunk and they they'll find you in the river somewhere probably,
let's hope not.

Speaker 10 (44:38):
Oh God, put me anywhere.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
I know.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
I know they're not to get you. I just got
the facts.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
Yeah, okay, dude, you know some people are dealt a
bad hand in life that you know, the government, everybody's
after you.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
It sucks because you who would have thought?

Speaker 10 (44:56):
I know, who would have thought that?

Speaker 9 (44:57):
Stewart?

Speaker 4 (44:58):
Do you have any advice?

Speaker 10 (44:59):
There?

Speaker 4 (45:00):
Words of wisdom for our friend here, wisdom.

Speaker 16 (45:04):
Please talk to each other's neighbors. Be polite, be respectful everybody.
That'll solve ninety five percent of the stuff. Don't pick
fights with the cops where needn't be. If you're going
to go and make a report the police department. Don't
smell like weed.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Quit school, do drugs.

Speaker 16 (45:21):
Right, not every mole hill's a mountain.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
That's the best advice you can get from an attorney
right there, that's right, doesn't even need to make an appointment.

Speaker 16 (45:30):
That was good, And that was just general advice that
was not about this situation, just general advice. Yeah, caller,
you're doctor Phil over here.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Stuart W. Penrose is here to take your legal questions.
What's your problem?

Speaker 8 (45:45):
Yeah, I worked for this company and about three years
ago as a mechanic. About three years ago, we had
a fire and I lost all of my cools and
which is about years of close to thirty years of
collecting tools as a diesel mechanic. And yeah, and we,

(46:08):
like I said, that's been about three years ago, and.

Speaker 10 (46:11):
We have not.

Speaker 8 (46:13):
Recovered everything. They have done a lot, but you know,
I'm still probably I'm looking at probably twenty thirty dollars
yet that has not been recouped. And I was just
wondering if he's you know, they keep telling me the
insurance is paying for the insurance is paying for that.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
But but they've moved so right everything, but they've they've done.

Speaker 8 (46:35):
Some, Yeah, they've done some.

Speaker 16 (46:38):
O their claim is still open. Were there any releases signed.

Speaker 8 (46:43):
I never signed anything, Okay, I mean.

Speaker 16 (46:46):
Your personal property needs to be brought forth in this
claim if it hasn't been already. I have no idea
what the statute of limitations you might be dealing with here,
So you're gonna want to look into that. If it's
been three years, I mean, I just don't know where
where they would be aut in terms of your statute
of limitations whenever jurisdiction you're in for this kind of case,
But you'll want to look into that. And if there
needs to be a lawsuit filed, if they're not doing

(47:07):
something they're supposed to be doing, then that would be
what would need to happen.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Yeah. Ok but is it there something we said that
they're doing it? They are slowly working on.

Speaker 16 (47:17):
It, but there's not enough for me to be able
to say just based upon that alone.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Okay, Sorry, Yeah, there's there's.

Speaker 8 (47:23):
There's just a lot of I don't know, you know.
When I would ask questions, they would be well, I've
got to ask the other ones to see what they say,
and they never get back to me. They gets dropped,
you know, And.

Speaker 16 (47:35):
That's how big insurance works. They go to the next person,
the next person the next person. That's how it works.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah, and also at work, my job exists, right, and
also at work, you know when you ask these questions
at work too or whatever.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
I mean, they didn't want this to happen, so, I
mean it sucks for everybody all around.

Speaker 16 (47:50):
Yeah, but that's got nothing to do with it. This
is insurance.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Oh, it's an insurance co. Oh okay, yeah.

Speaker 8 (47:55):
Well, and and I'm more concerned about the people that
I work for because that's who I am. You know,
I'm not dealing with interest company. That's on their part.
I'm just more worried about, you know, them guys replacing
what I had, you know, what they can claim and
food insurance all they want. Yeah, I mean, that's that's
on them. I didn't have an interest policy, so you know,

(48:16):
it was their fault the building burned down.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
And did they find diapers in the mailbox?

Speaker 16 (48:22):
Oh no, Well, if it's your employer's own insurance, If
it's your employer's own insurance and they're not you know,
properly covering the claim or you know, abiding by the
contract of insurance they have, your employer could potentially a
bad faith claim against their carrier. So that's you know
that would likely be what would be the driver in court.

Speaker 8 (48:43):
Okay, so you're just saying, I need to uh see
if it's been settled and see if it's still open.

Speaker 9 (48:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (48:50):
I think you ought to talk to your own company,
if it's your company that's dealing with the claim and
not you.

Speaker 8 (48:55):
Yeah, because they just don't give me no answers I
asked and I get answer.

Speaker 10 (48:59):
I get it.

Speaker 16 (48:59):
And make sure that everything that that you're bringing forward
as far as your property is documented. Yeah, this carrier
needs to know that they may or they may or
may not know that yet. Who I don't know.

Speaker 8 (49:10):
Yeah, you know there's a couple of high dollar items
what I've asked. Sure, Yeah, you know the one one
of them told me off you got it by down,
you're not going to do it.

Speaker 16 (49:20):
Wow, three years later, it's probably not an untrue statement.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Yeah, right right, but be active, be active, proactive about it.

Speaker 8 (49:29):
I will do that, all right.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Good luck to you?

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Uh five one three seven, four nine one two sevens
a phone number you could say, right, Stuart?

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Sure, okay, all right, Nicole, what's your legal question?

Speaker 15 (49:38):
I was working from home up until actually January sixteenth
was my release date from my employer because I had
a stroke back in August.

Speaker 16 (49:53):
I'm sorry to hear that.

Speaker 15 (49:55):
Yeah, my crowdit argory is one hundred blocks aside.

Speaker 16 (50:01):
How are you feel.

Speaker 15 (50:04):
I'm pretty good for the you know, for the size
of what's going on, but I'm not able to do
what I used to be able to do, of course,
so you know, for certain reasons. Anyhow, my job hadn't
let me go, And the only way I knew that

(50:27):
they had let me go was because they had sent
an email requesting the equipment to be sent back to them,
with the FEDEC shipping label in the email. So they're
in Tennessee, the company is, and I'm usually in Kentucky,

(50:48):
So I don't even know. Can you help at all
on that enquiry?

Speaker 16 (50:51):
Well, I'm not sure what the situation is and what
you're looking to do, but you.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Know what's wrong?

Speaker 15 (50:56):
Well okay, Well, so is it okay? When she not
in court, you know, I asked about it. I said,
so this is how we let go of our employees,
you know, just by requesting the return of equipment. And
they never even responded back to me on that. She

(51:17):
sent a certified letter to me. By now that had
I had been terminated, that I had quit and that
I had resigned my position on a certain date. And
I was like, well, I didn't never resign this position.

Speaker 16 (51:34):
Because because due to your treatment for your stroke.

Speaker 10 (51:38):
Or what.

Speaker 15 (51:40):
It never it didn't. She never even gave a reason why.

Speaker 8 (51:45):
Okay, And I mean there is a.

Speaker 16 (51:48):
When did you return to work post your stroke? Because
the stroke was what six months?

Speaker 10 (51:52):
I had not?

Speaker 15 (51:54):
Yeah, I haven't returned to work. And I know it
suggests called. You know, it's justified, you know, for her
then to let me go.

Speaker 16 (52:03):
Well, there are certain protections. You know, there are certain
FMLA protections for employees that may or may not apply
to you here, given the time and your situation. So
why don't you talk to an employment attorney. We can
get you linked up with one and unpack it and
see if they think that there's a violation there for you,
because there are certain protections there for uh, you know,

(52:23):
folks in situations like yours.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Yeah, I'm glad you called with this because it sounds
like you're getting railroaded and they're using your your illness
as a way to get out of uh, you know,
letting you go and thinking you're just going to throw
up your arms and stuff. But I'm glad you called
to ask this question.

Speaker 15 (52:40):
I kind of yeah. I was kind of hesitant myself
when they had that I had quit and resigned, you know,
because I had never once said those words.

Speaker 16 (52:50):
I knew about your your stroke.

Speaker 15 (52:53):
Oh yeah, thank you about my stroke.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Nicole. Are you married or you have somebody that lives
with you? Yeah? What what did I mean?

Speaker 1 (53:02):
What did your significant others say, like this is wrong?
You should call somebody? Oh yeah yeah yeah, yeah, this
doesn't seem wrong.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (53:13):
This company was not very They were not what they
had said they were going to be anyway.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
So sure, Yeah, it sounds like one of those did
you have to pay for the equipment to be sent
to your house?

Speaker 15 (53:28):
No, they were legit. They're a legit company. I'll give
them that much.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
But I've heard of it was very stressful.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Yeah, I've heard of these scams that John Mateice has
told us about actually, where they've told us that, you know,
you can work from home. You just have to pay
for the equipment to come to your house and you
send them like two grand and then the equipment never
shows up and there's.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
No real job.

Speaker 4 (53:48):
Yeah, so I want they just talked about that with
a yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Well I'm sorry you're going through this and mostly because
of your health too, so this is a bad time
for you.

Speaker 16 (53:58):
But I haven't get your infrom and I can link
you up with with a friend of mine.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Yeah, Nicole, I have your phone number here. I will
send this to Stewart and they will have someone contact
you and then unpack it more and see what what
you got here.

Speaker 16 (54:12):
Okay, that's the look in your recovery, ma'am.

Speaker 15 (54:15):
All right, thank you, have a good day you too.

Speaker 5 (54:20):
You're probably the sweetest person I know.
