It is a Saturday morning, and we start the show,
of course we do with me telling you that best
time to call top of the hour, first hour, particularly
the number is eight hundred five to zero one five

Speaker 2 (00:29):
That's eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Also a quick word about today, Today's gonna be fun.
Two o'clock to five o'clock. Neil Sedda of course does
the Fork Report. He is broadcasting live from the Wild
Fork Store on East Pacific Coast Highway six to four
zero five in Long Beach. Just look up the Wild
(00:54):
Fork in Long Beach. He's broadcasting from two to five.
I am joining him. We'd love to have you come by,
and we're going to do giveaways and food samples and
probably every fifteen minutes we're giving something away. We're giving
away game tickets, charge your tickets, Dodger tickets. I mean,

(01:15):
And that's starting at two o'clock this afternoon. The Wild
Fork Food Store and Wildfork is great stuff and on
Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach and the phone number,
as I have told you, I don't know once or
twice over the last thirty years eight hundred five two
zero one five three four eight hundred five two zero
(01:39):
one five three four also a cook word. When I
had done the show ten or fifteen years, people would
come up to me and say, Bill, I've been listening
to your show for I don't know, twelve years, fifteen years,
eighteen years ago. Hey, thanks, I really appreciate that. Yeah, one,
and so we'd start talking. Now when people come up
(02:02):
to me and say Bill, i've been listening to your
show for my response at that moment is shut up.
I don't want to hear it. I am not interested
in hearing how long you've been listening to this show.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Why?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Because we've both gotten old together, although you look a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Worse than I do.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And I love it when people come to me in
their twenties and say, oh, you know what, I grew
up with you in their thirties. I grew up with
you listening to the radio. My parents love you. How
about your grandparents, Oh, they love you even more than
my parents do.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So if you ever run into me and you start saying, Bill,
I've been listening to your show since I'm going to
stop you right there for the X number of years.
I'm going to stop you right there, all right. Phone
number here eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
That's eight hundred five to zero one five three four
(03:03):
number to call. This is handle on the Law, marginal
legal advice, where I tell you have absolutely no case. Ah.
We are in the political football season, to say the least.
We have a Health in Human Services secretary who is
what's the word I'm looking for? Crazy? Is that a
good word? Insane another good word? And he is a
(03:27):
vaccine denier, as you know. He says, no, I believe me.
He founded an organization that fights vaccines. He founded and
was the director of an organization that says vaccines are dangerous.
He has said over and over again that COVID vaccines
(03:47):
killed more people than COVID did. Okay, that's our secretary
of Health than Human Services. So now we move to
Florida where you have the Governor DeSantis. That whole crowd
are right in line with the conspiracy theorists arguing the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So the surgeon General of Florida.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Joseph Ledappo, who is a conspiracy theorist of the First
Water was well. He was appointed surgeon general by Governor
Ron DeSantis and he has now announced plan to end
all state vaccine mandates, including kids going to school.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That's it, no more vaccines. You don't have to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So with your kid goes to school and has the
vaccine for polio, rubella, measles, don't have to do it anymore.
Just don't have to do it. And there are going
to be plenty of people out there there their kids
are not going to be vaccinated. Man oh man, we
already have measles outbreaks. So the worst case of measles
(04:56):
in Texas, particularly that we've had in a decade, in
a decade, maybe a generation, I don't even know, let's
call it a decade. Now with measles and polio and
all the other childhood disease, vaccinations don't have to happen anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's it. You know, it has to go through the legislature.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
All he's doing, and this is Lodapo is asking the
state legislature to push this bill through, which of course
they will. And can you imagine if polio makes a
comeback because every kid in America is vaccinated for polio.
You know, unless there is a severe medical issue or
a severe reaction to the vaccine itself which doesn't cause autism.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
There is no connection.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Right now polio, diphtheria, rubella, protessis, mumps, tetanus. Those shots
have to be given to the kids. Exemptions for religious
and medical reasons. Well, religious reasons don't work in California.
Medical reasons you got to go up with some pretty
good ones. You just can't say, hey, we uh, you know,
(06:04):
some doctors signed off on it, so it's uh, it's
gotten crazier, it's getting and it is getting crazy. Man,
it just drives me completely nuts. All right, let's go
ahead and take some phone calls.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Dan.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Oh, yes, sir, all right, we got the big lotto tonight,
Yes we do. And I heard a lawyer on TV
talking about what you have to do, and it really
sounded extreme, like you make a copy of your ticket
and you put your ticket in a safe deposit box,
don't sign it, and you gotta definitely get a lawyer
to go with you too.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Is that you do, No, you don't. I mean, it
was good advice.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
What he said, don't sign it until you're in front
of the lottery people and you sign your name and.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You prove that and you have the ticket. That's just
good advice.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And then putting it into an envelope, Uh, that's good advice.
What I would do is put it into an envelope
number ten. Put it into a big envelope, you know,
but ten x eleven. Then put it in one of
those garbage bags. Then put one of those in in
a Amazon box.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And do you want to make sure you don't lose it?
So that's good advice. A lawyer. I have no idea
why you would have a lawyer, he.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Said at the beginning. Don't even bring the ticket, bring
a copy of the ticket to the office. Does that
make sense?
Speaker 6 (07:28):
No?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
By the way, I want you to really be concerned,
because we're both sure you're going to win.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Dan, Well, you like to know, especially when you hear
this crazy stuff, you know what the appropriate thing would
be to do.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You know, you got it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The only thing they have to do, realistically, the only
thing you have to do is get a money person.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You get someone who is a money manager who is conservative,
and that's all you need when you're not going to win.
I mean, I love it. One in three hundred and
seventy million. Always say, you know, people always say you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
If you don't play, you can't win. That's true.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
If you do play, you can't win either, because the
chances are one in three hundred million. And yeah, whatever
it is, someone always wins. Yeah, it just won't be you.
All right, So the lawyer part, I don't get the
rest of it. It just makes sense to be all right, David, Hi, David, Welcome, David.
(08:31):
You're there, Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Hello, Yes, I'm here morning, Yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
I'm in the process of writing to Congress to whom
it may concern. I'm not sure. I'm trying to get
the steed women on the highways in California, Lord from
sixty five to sixty five, for the fact of saving lives,
and also, after thinking about it, it shortens the time
from point A to point B, or say, the destination
(09:00):
getting to the flow of traffic due to you know,
so many people in the world, and I don't want
to maybe have no business out there driving a call
trying to be true to trying to get to their destination.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No, I get it, I get it. It says lowering.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
There's all kinds of reasons to lower the speed limit.
I get it, better gas mileage, it's safer. Uh if
you look at the time getting there all. I don't
know about that one. But there's all kinds of good
reasons to bring the speed limit down.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So what's your question?
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Yes, okay, right, do I write to Congress?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now?
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Where do I send it to?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You when you say you can write to Congress, I
wouldn't write and then just put on the envelope. Dear Congress,
that's not going to help you. So that's not going
to work either. That's you heard my previous phone call.
Of the chances of winning a lottery ticket, of the
chances of winning a lottery you writing and getting the
(10:00):
bill changed is less than that, less than one hundred
three hundred million.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The only way you're going to get a law change,
which you never will. By the way, I mean, no
one's going to pay attention to this woever.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
But your maintenance department.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, no, I don't care. They have nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
This is Congress, this is Congress on the interstate on
the federal interstate like Highway five or whatever. If you're
talking about California, or you're talking about a state, uh,
that is uh the state government.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Uh so that's that's a different issue. Uh. You the
only way this.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm gonna I'm not hanging up on you because, Uh,
there's a lesson here to be learned about how bills
are passed in the federal world.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Right. Uh. A congress person introduces a bill.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
And then it goes to whatever committee, your subcommittee that
would deal with it, where it's going to die instantly.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
If it comes out of committee for some reason, it's
going to go to uh the main main committee. This
is subcommittee that goes to the big committee. Then if
it goes to the then it goes to the floor.
Your chances are zero, and no, they're less than zero.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
On the people that want to go out and change
the highway h miles on the free.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, they're not enough of them.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
They're not enough of them. Yeah, they're not enough of them.
So congratulations, I should have just hung up. But that's
a good question as to how does one get a
bill passed, and it's labbying.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Uh, I was.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Involved in passing the uh surrogacy law in California, and
it's a good law, and everybody agreed, and the legislature agreed.
It took years, years, and we had an assemblyman who
believed in it and pushed it through, and it took years.
(11:55):
This is handle on the law, Kafi handle here on
Assata in a morning number eight hundred and five to
zero one, five, three four.

Speaker 3 (12:33):

criminal violation.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
And twenty five hundred dollars? Is it depends? How can
I even answer? I don't know what you're charged with?
Speaker 9 (13:51):
Well, when they I mean, you can get a letter.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Saying there's a hearing there.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You can get letters saying that there is a hearing
to come in and talk to them. But I don't
know where to go. I don't know what you're charged with.
I don't know what the reasonable cost is.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
When they sent me the correction letters on my property,
all they would do is put the code section in
the letter.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It was a property, it was a property violation. Correct
Morris correct, that's thank you for that. So you do
know what you were charged with? A property violation? Okay,
they gave you a code that did you look it up?
Speaker 9 (14:36):
I don't know how to use a computer, and I
didn't look Yeah, okay, well, what what the issue was?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
They wanted to inspect my garage and didn't tell me why. Finally,
two weeks they don't have to.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Well, I don't have to tell you why. They don't
have to tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Why they came over two weeks ago. Let inspect my garage,
and I guess it is assumption was I was using
my garage for a business.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Okay, assum center. If you're charged with that? Is that
the assumption center? Have you been charged with that?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I have not, all right, I'm done with that.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay, couldn't get to the point on that one.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So you can't ask me. I need a lawyer. What
were you charged with? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
They corrected me. They sent me a new violation number.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What is it? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Can you look it up? I don't do computers. Okay,
I don't quite know what to do with that for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Devin, Hello, Devin, welcome.
Speaker 10 (15:38):
Hey, congratulations on the wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I got married. Okay, thank you for.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
That, of course, my brother, my legal issues here. I
called you a couple of years back to roach infest
station with the landlord. He ended up doing the unluck
with detainer, but before we went to court, he settled,
We settled, and we left. We had thirty days to leave,
so we left. It's been about forty five days and
(16:09):
we ended up. We have a lawsuit coming up against
him here in September.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, I'm a little confused.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let me go through it all, right, So, uh, you
agreed to leave within forty five days or within thirty days, right,
and you leave?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Is that correct?
Speaker 10 (16:28):
So I called you up and explained the roach infestation,
the mold infestation issue. You gave me legal advice or
you gave me some advice. I went ahead, took the advice,
presented all the evidence the judge throughout the initial unlawf
with the Tennan case. He ended up doing it again,
bringing another unlawful detenning case, this time before we got
(16:51):
to the courthouse, immediate before the court date or before
us seeing the judge. He settled with us fifteen thousand.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Okay, settled there, and yeah, okay, and you haven't been
paid within guy actually gat him good legal advice.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, uh, I'm not paid within forty five days. Correct,
he did.
Speaker 10 (17:09):
He did pay us the fifteen thousand. We were out
in thirty days. We were out before the third Okay,
So what's your question. Case we have a lawsuit against
him coming up in September.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
But wait a second, are you settled it? You said
you settled the case.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
It was an unlawful detainer case.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
His case.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
He took us to cou He was taking us to court.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Now I understand so separately. Uh so the settlement was
the unlawful detainer. What is the what is the next
case about? Because you're bringing up another case and what
is that about?
Speaker 10 (17:43):
Yes, so we brought a case against him. Come right
here for what for the mold?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh, the mold in the road.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
If he settled, if he settled the case, the mold
part of was not involved in the settlement.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
No is our attorneys. We have two separate attorneys and
our aarnees.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
All right, what's your question? What's your question? What's your question?
Speaker 10 (18:09):
The question is the question is after twenty one days
he's supposed to return our security depuzzy we left the play.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Actually, I think it's thirty days. I think I think
it's thirty days. Now.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
But as far as the unlawful detainer is concerned, that
should have been part of the settlement of the unlawful detainer.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Mold is separate.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
There's no length, there's no length the security.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
But you settled.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But it was settled, then you're out already. So I
don't I don't know where to go with that. I'm
just either here's what's happening today. Either I'm not really
smart or I'm not really smart. Okay, it's one of
the two. Now, let me tell you about you being
in pain or someone you know, someone you love, maybe
(18:52):
someone you're treating with in chronic pain. And chronic pain,
Oh man, that is no fun. You hurt all the time.
So let me suggest listening to The Pain Game podcast
because the host, Lindsay Soprano, deals with this kind of
pain twenty four to seven, and man does she do
do it heroically. Every episode ends with a message of hope.
(19:15):
And you'll understand and this is a weird one that
the show is about giving pain purpose. You can actually
give pain purpose. It's not just suffering, it's going through
the pain. It's just the show is really worth listening to.
You'll see you hear and you'll understand so much. You
can listen to the show wherever you listen to podcasts.
(19:36):
If you're in pain, No, someone's in pain, believe me.
You want to pick up this podcast. It's the Pain
Game Podcast. You can follow on social at the Pain
Game Podcast. Season three wrapping up soon and season four
is coming and its some interesting, amazing things going to

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Handle on the law, marginal legal advice, James. Welcome James.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What yesh's going, Yeah, it's going fast? Is great? Okay,
all right?
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Moving on staying at a popular hotel. But after a
couple days later, I had, without even knowing though, about six.
Speaker 11 (21:24):
Detecked on additional charges damages.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
And the room wasn't that bad. My issue was I
was out in Texas at the time. I needed that
last minit of money I had to make a.
Speaker 11 (21:38):
Purchase, and it just screwed everything up.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Now, I agreed to the room charge.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
To that one night.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
I didn't agree to anything else.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Are they allowed to charge you?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah? Well, if you look at sure, if you look
at the documents they give you when you sign, it
says right there the you will be charged for any
damn to the room.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I mean, you've agreed to it.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Now, the issue is you're saying that there wasn't six
hundred and seventy five dollars of damage, and that's a dispute.
That's fair, but it's it's going to be tough. Now
you can go ahead and dispute it with your credit
card company, and then the credit card company contacts the hotel,
and the hotel says, yeah, he really did screw it up,
and so you're done with that. So you've agreed to it,
(22:27):
and now the only issue is you know how much
damage was By the way, where do you get a
hotel room for seventy bucks?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Where in God's name.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Do you do that?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Yeah, it's not the it's not the best, but.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
No, I understand, and in Hr. Six hundred and something
dollars check whatever. Then they have to know, they have
to If.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You sue them, then what happens is they have to
prove the damage. They have to come up and say
here's you're gonna say, I didn't do that much damage.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
They have to prove how much damage there is.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Like my mom died and was sick.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
They don't care. They don't care.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Now, no no one cares if your mom died, not
at all. You know, matter of fact, you know when
my my mom died, I didn't care, So no one cares. Yeah,
all you can do is fight the amount of damage.
They say you did seventy bucks and sounds like you
got ripped off pretty good on.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
This one, James.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
It really.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, yeah, you assume them exactly what you do. But
the problem is it's.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
Intech extra charges that messed up.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Like no, yeah, you can try, you can try. You know,
it depends on the small claims.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Judge.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I try everything if I would. Problem is it's
in Texas and that is problematic.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I just said that problem is didn't I? Rob? Hello, Rob, welcome.
Speaker 11 (23:54):
So my wife about three months ago, she was at
a company meetings saying they were going to close the doors.
They gave them three months, and three months came and uh,
they were going to through the union. They negotiated three
months medical and two weeks Severnce day. So my wife
(24:15):
gets a letter in the mail through the teasers saying
that they gave her a reduction in hours and also
they gave her, say that her termination of employment. So
my question is, does my wife have some sort of
legal recourse because through the union.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Medical, Yeah, Rob, there's a breach.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Okay, they said we're going to give you this and
they didn't, So clearly there's a breach of that agreement.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Where are they if they shut down and they're out
of business?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Where do you go with that?
Speaker 11 (24:57):
Well, they're not a business. They just left the state.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Then you go out. You can try to go out
of state. This is where the union jumps in.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The union negotiated it, and the union on behalf of
everybody else should be should be getting involved. I wouldn't
do this individually because if they went out of state, well,
you know, you're going to sue them out of state.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
You're going to serve them out of state.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
This is complicated stuff, and so I think, yeah, you're
going to need a lawyer, but collectively, you're going to
need a lawyer. So I'm assuming there's a lot of
people in her position, and so okay, then that's then
you go to your union and go there's seventy eight
hundred of us that got screwed. Do something about it.
(25:40):
That's why you have union representation. Yeah, you can't go
on your own on this one. Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Lee, Hi, Lee, you're up. Welcome, Good morning, Bill. Yeh.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
I like the guy, where do you find a seventy
dollars hotel room in Los Angeles?
Speaker 10 (25:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
You know he said no, he said it was in
the high desert, and I think he meant to take it.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think he talking about I don't want to go
up there.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Yeah, okay, okay, we're moving things along really quickly. I'm homeless,
I live in a van. It's twenty three years old.
I can't smog this thing, and it's it's just really, really,
really tough. I heard a friend of mine told me
that apparently they cannot pull you over for bad tags
in California. It dis got pass maybe six months ago.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, of course they can pull you over for tags violation.
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
If they couldn't pull you over for tags, no one
would have tags.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Absolutely, that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They can pull you over for tags and then and
then what happens is they now have probable cause and
they can start doing some fun stuff to you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, but don't think for a.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Moment you don't have to have tags with them.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
There are some worried.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
About them, like apparently they can tow your car. Yeah,
that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
That's exactly where I was going. And those rules may
have changed in terms of taking your car and impounding
the van. And that's easy. And you live in the
city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Yeah, I'm out here in Claremont area. You know Claremont.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I don't think. I don't think. I don't think Claremont
is within the city of Los Angeles. You can call.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Here's what I would do. This is probably is this
a local or a state issue? I would call Claremont
City City Hall and talk about traffic enforcement and they
have all kinds of people involved in there and ask
that same question. And here's the difference between asking me
and asking them, what would you guess?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
The difference would be.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Lee, You're smarter than they are.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
No, they know more than I Thank you for that.
I appreciate it. This is why I like you. It's
they probably know what they're talking about. That is the difference.
This is handle on the law. Can't f I handle here.
On a Saturday morning, we continue on with the show. Oh,
this afternoon two o'clock Neil Savedra, the Fork reporter, and
(28:06):
he's with me Monday through Friday. His show is two
to five this afternoon Saturday, and he's broadcasting from the
Wild Fork Store in Long Beach, and I'm joining him
and it's going to be three hours. We always have
a great time, and please join us, because there's going
to be tasting will Fork is amazing food, primarily meat,
(28:28):
but tastings, and there'll be chefs there, and we'll do
some giveaways and I mean some big giveaways every fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And then you get to yell at at me, and
you get.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
To you yell at at Neil, and I think my
daughter is going to show up too, and so you know,
why not, I'll have her taste some stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Back we go.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
More handle on the law, marginal legal advice, Joseph, Hello Joseph.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Good morning, Yeah, good morning. My question is in two
thousand and eight, when the recession happened, I used to
have a business and I lost the business. And at
that time I got a thick where where I'm not
being able to walk until now. And I have one
(29:18):
credit card yet and this third party collector they've been
they can keep harassing, keep harassing until now. And I
got some help from family and the church to pay.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I got a couple of questions, Joseph, how much is
that credit card debt?
Speaker 6 (29:40):
The credit card that was around twenty four thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, when is the last time you made a payment
on that credit card debt?
Speaker 6 (29:50):
I didn't Okay, when.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Was the last time you made a payment? You started
with you bought twenty four thousand dollars worth of stuff
and you never paid for it.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
No, I did payments on it until when.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Was hold on. So let's start again.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
When was the last time you made a payment on
that card?
Speaker 6 (30:13):
About two thousand and nine?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Okay? So, uh, the collection people are calling you? Correct?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Yeah, they they send me a letter. I called them
a truck.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
It doesn't matter. But all right, Joseph, here's what you
tell them.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You tell them to go pounce and have them look
up the statute of limitations. They are so past the
statute of limitations. Have they sued you?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Do you have a judgment against you? I?
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Yes, they send me a judgment, and I tried to
settle with them on it.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Okay, all right, so they did. Okay, so they did.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
So they did sue you. And did you go to
court at all or just let them have the judgment?
Speaker 6 (30:56):
No? I didn't go to court.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Okay, So they.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Got their judgment too, and nine all right, two thousand
and nine.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
They got their judgment.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's good for ten years and they can reaffirm it
for another ten years.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
So you still owe the money as opposed to statute
limitations is gone. Okay, So you owe twenty four thousand dollars, okay,
So what's your question?
Speaker 6 (31:18):
My question is, you know I'm about to get my
Social Security because I'm on a government's help, okay, and
they come off to that for me.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
No, they can't come after the check.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Nope, nope, nope, but they can come after a bank
account that you put the money into. Once it's in
a bank account, they can come after that. So what
a lot of people do is they just switch bank
accounts because they have a judgment and they're believe me,
someone's looking for the money. The collection agency, they're looking
(31:50):
for the money. I wouldn't volunteer anything, just say okay,
you know I got a judgment. Congratulations. Well you owe
the money? Okay, fine, all right, and now what's your
next question? Well, you owe the money, and then they
start threatening you. You know, we're going to put you
in jail, We're going to take away your firstborn son.
It's very biblical. That's kind of crap you're going to hear.
(32:12):
And then you throw in your harassing me. I got it,
and so but what is your question?
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Was you know you just answered my question and I
just thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
On Okay, you got it all right, So that's what
you do.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
And frankly, for twenty four thousand dollars they're going to
try to collect. I mean, there's no question about that.
But how do you settle with twenty four thousand dollars
with a debt which most of it, by the way,
is interest when you're basically on government disability pay and
you know how much money can you possibly get? See
that that becomes really problematic. U Trish, Hi, Trish, you're up, welcome.
(32:51):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 9 (32:53):
Hi?
Speaker 12 (32:54):
Okay? I wrote down notes so I could be succinct
here right, timeline here, Okay, So I have three siblings
who would and we all really appreciate your your opinion
on the situation. We have an attorney, but he's kind
of been ghosting us. So we have a situation with
our mom's property passed away. It will be two years
(33:15):
in this coming January, and we have a brother we
filed in court to get him out of the house.
This is a brother who lost hero inheritance twenty years ago.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Hang on a minute. Who owns the house?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Who owns the house, who has title to the house,
right now.
Speaker 12 (33:32):
Does all five siblings have so long?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
All right?
Speaker 11 (33:37):
Question?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Okay, he is living in the house, he owns the house.
You're not going to victim. You're not going to victim.
Speaker 12 (33:42):
He's out, okay, O, he's out.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Okay, So what's your question.
Speaker 12 (33:46):
That's what I'm saying. I took notes. I took notes.
This is something I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (33:50):
So he's out of the house. The property was in
a Lady Birdeed. We were all okay, we were all
on a Lady Birdeed, all five siblings right, okay. So
he's out of the house, and we found a buyer
for the house in her death. Bro finds out he
has all these cleans.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
All right, got it? So he is all right, So
let me interry. It doesn't matter what I r s
he has that.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I mean, they could have a lean on his part
of the house. I wouldn't worry about it.
Speaker 12 (34:19):
Claimed his part, well, they quit claimed his part?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
And yeah, okay, who he's quit? Who did he quit?
Claim his part?
Speaker 12 (34:27):
Two to his son because the title company said we
need a clear title. You need to sign a disclaimer
disclaiming your part. He wouldn't he just he goes and
he's like, we talked to my attorney.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
How much?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
How much? How much is the house worth? How much
is the property worth?
Speaker 12 (34:42):
Only half because he didn't maintain it when you lived there?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
How much?
Speaker 12 (34:46):
Oh, we lost the buyer. We lost the buyer.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Understand you lost the buyer. I get it. How much
is it worth?
Speaker 12 (34:56):
Now I'm gonna say the best fut the best offer.
We out with one hundred and twenty thousand firm an investor.
Now we lock your guy. The other office were.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Like, right, so here's here's what you have, but it's
like normal, here's what Okay, doesn't matter. I'm just curious
at west to how far you're going to go for
one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 12 (35:16):
We don't know what to do because I know.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
So you're a lawyer. The only way you're gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
It's a complicated you got you have to file the
lawsuit and you have to force force him and have
a court order forcing him to sign off because he
refuses to cooperate, and because of all of the Shenani.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Is going on.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Uh, there's no way around it. And you said your
lawyer is ghosting you. It's time for another lawyer. There's
there's nothing more I can tell you except this is
a complicated case. Uh, this is not an easy case
to deal with, and you need a lawyer. Now, how
much you're gonna spend for a lawyer where your cut
is twenty twenty five thousand dollars, that's the other question.
(35:55):
Which way do you go? All right, I have a
question for you, and that it's about your breath.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I know you don't think you have smelly breath because
I know you never wake up in the morning, and
I know you never drink coffee, and I know you never,
for example, eat onion or garblics or any foods.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
That cause bad breath. So you don't have to worry
about it. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
The rest of us, well, we have smelly breath, and
what can you do about it? Zelmans, that's the best
answer I know. And by the way, your friends, your family,
they don't tell you that you have horrible breath. Now,
if you're talking to someone and they're throwing up on
your face, okay, maybe that's the issue. Maybe you have
the you know, but the bottom line is you can
(36:39):
have fresh, great breath for hours, and bad breath also
comes from your gut, because that's where the food goes. Now,
breath mints work in your mouth, but they don't work
in your mouth and your gut, and this is where
Zelmans goes to work. Zelmans does both. It's a little
capsule and it has a minty coat on it, and
(37:01):
you stuck on the mint part and then when that's gone,
you bite into her swallow and then they go to
work in your gut. That's Zelman's. And right now you
can get fifteen percent off your first purchase by going
to zelmans dot com promo code KFI. That's fifteen per
cent off your first purchase Zelman's E L M I

had done the show ten or fifteen years, people would
come up to me and say, Bill, I've been listening
to your show for I don't know, twelve years, fifteen years,
eighteen years ago. Hey, thanks, I really appreciate that. Yeah, one,
and so we'd start talking. Now when people come up
(02:02):
to me and say Bill, i've been listening to your
show for my response at that moment is shut up.
I don't want to hear it. I am not interested
in hearing how long you've been listening to this show.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Why?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Because we've both gotten old together, although you look a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Worse than I do.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And I love it when people come to me in
their twenties and say, oh, you know what, I grew
up with you in their thirties. I grew up with
you listening to the radio. My parents love you. How
about your grandparents, Oh, they love you even more than
my parents do.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So if you ever run into me and you start saying, Bill,
I've been listening to your show since I'm going to
stop you right there for the X number of years.
I'm going to stop you right there, all right. Phone
number here eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
That's eight hundred five to zero one five three four
(03:03):
number to call. This is handle on the Law, marginal
legal advice, where I tell you have absolutely no case. Ah.
We are in the political football season, to say the least.
We have a Health in Human Services secretary who is
what's the word I'm looking for? Crazy? Is that a
good word? Insane another good word? And he is a
(03:27):
vaccine denier, as you know. He says, no, I believe me.
He founded an organization that fights vaccines. He founded and
was the director of an organization that says vaccines are dangerous.
He has said over and over again that COVID vaccines
(03:47):
killed more people than COVID did. Okay, that's our secretary
of Health than Human Services. So now we move to
Florida where you have the Governor DeSantis. That whole crowd
are right in line with the conspiracy theorists arguing the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So the surgeon General of Florida.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Joseph Ledappo, who is a conspiracy theorist of the First
Water was well. He was appointed surgeon general by Governor
Ron DeSantis and he has now announced plan to end
all state vaccine mandates, including kids going to school.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That's it, no more vaccines. You don't have to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So with your kid goes to school and has the
vaccine for polio, rubella, measles, don't have to do it anymore.
Just don't have to do it. And there are going
to be plenty of people out there there their kids
are not going to be vaccinated. Man oh man, we
already have measles outbreaks. So the worst case of measles
(04:56):
in Texas, particularly that we've had in a decade, in
a decade, maybe a generation, I don't even know, let's
call it a decade. Now with measles and polio and
all the other childhood disease, vaccinations don't have to happen anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That's it. You know, it has to go through the legislature.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
All he's doing, and this is Lodapo is asking the
state legislature to push this bill through, which of course
they will. And can you imagine if polio makes a
comeback because every kid in America is vaccinated for polio.
You know, unless there is a severe medical issue or
a severe reaction to the vaccine itself which doesn't cause autism.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
There is no connection.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Right now polio, diphtheria, rubella, protessis, mumps, tetanus. Those shots
have to be given to the kids. Exemptions for religious
and medical reasons. Well, religious reasons don't work in California.
Medical reasons you got to go up with some pretty
good ones. You just can't say, hey, we uh, you know,
(06:04):
some doctors signed off on it, so it's uh, it's
gotten crazier, it's getting and it is getting crazy. Man,
it just drives me completely nuts. All right, let's go
ahead and take some phone calls.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Dan.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Oh, yes, sir, all right, we got the big lotto tonight,
Yes we do. And I heard a lawyer on TV
talking about what you have to do, and it really
sounded extreme, like you make a copy of your ticket
and you put your ticket in a safe deposit box,
don't sign it, and you gotta definitely get a lawyer
to go with you too.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Is that you do, No, you don't. I mean, it
was good advice.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
What he said, don't sign it until you're in front
of the lottery people and you sign your name and.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
You prove that and you have the ticket. That's just
good advice.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
And then putting it into an envelope, Uh, that's good advice.
What I would do is put it into an envelope
number ten. Put it into a big envelope, you know,
but ten x eleven. Then put it in one of
those garbage bags. Then put one of those in in
a Amazon box.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And do you want to make sure you don't lose it?
So that's good advice. A lawyer. I have no idea
why you would have a lawyer, he.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Said at the beginning. Don't even bring the ticket, bring
a copy of the ticket to the office. Does that
make sense?
Speaker 6 (07:28):
No?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
I don't think so either.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
By the way, I want you to really be concerned,
because we're both sure you're going to win.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Dan, Well, you like to know, especially when you hear
this crazy stuff, you know what the appropriate thing would
be to do.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You know, you got it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The only thing they have to do, realistically, the only
thing you have to do is get a money person.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You get someone who is a money manager who is conservative,
and that's all you need when you're not going to win.
I mean, I love it. One in three hundred and
seventy million. Always say, you know, people always say you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
If you don't play, you can't win. That's true.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
If you do play, you can't win either, because the
chances are one in three hundred million. And yeah, whatever
it is, someone always wins. Yeah, it just won't be you.
All right, So the lawyer part, I don't get the
rest of it. It just makes sense to be all right, David, Hi, David, Welcome, David.
(08:31):
You're there, Yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Hello, Yes, I'm here morning, Yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
I'm in the process of writing to Congress to whom
it may concern. I'm not sure. I'm trying to get
the steed women on the highways in California, Lord from
sixty five to sixty five, for the fact of saving lives,
and also, after thinking about it, it shortens the time
from point A to point B, or say, the destination
(09:00):
getting to the flow of traffic due to you know,
so many people in the world, and I don't want
to maybe have no business out there driving a call
trying to be true to trying to get to their destination.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No, I get it, I get it. It says lowering.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
There's all kinds of reasons to lower the speed limit.
I get it, better gas mileage, it's safer. Uh if
you look at the time getting there all. I don't
know about that one. But there's all kinds of good
reasons to bring the speed limit down.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So what's your question?
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Yes, okay, right, do I write to Congress?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now?
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Where do I send it to?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You when you say you can write to Congress, I
wouldn't write and then just put on the envelope. Dear Congress,
that's not going to help you. So that's not going
to work either. That's you heard my previous phone call.
Of the chances of winning a lottery ticket, of the
chances of winning a lottery you writing and getting the
(10:00):
bill changed is less than that, less than one hundred
three hundred million.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
The only way you're going to get a law change,
which you never will. By the way, I mean, no
one's going to pay attention to this woever.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
But your maintenance department.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, no, I don't care. They have nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
This is Congress, this is Congress on the interstate on
the federal interstate like Highway five or whatever. If you're
talking about California, or you're talking about a state, uh,
that is uh the state government.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Uh so that's that's a different issue. Uh. You the
only way this.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm gonna I'm not hanging up on you because, Uh,
there's a lesson here to be learned about how bills
are passed in the federal world.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Right. Uh. A congress person introduces a bill.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
And then it goes to whatever committee, your subcommittee that
would deal with it, where it's going to die instantly.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
If it comes out of committee for some reason, it's
going to go to uh the main main committee. This
is subcommittee that goes to the big committee. Then if
it goes to the then it goes to the floor.
Your chances are zero, and no, they're less than zero.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
On the people that want to go out and change
the highway h miles on the free.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, they're not enough of them.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
They're not enough of them. Yeah, they're not enough of them.
So congratulations, I should have just hung up. But that's
a good question as to how does one get a
bill passed, and it's labbying.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Uh, I was.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Involved in passing the uh surrogacy law in California, and
it's a good law, and everybody agreed, and the legislature agreed.
It took years, years, and we had an assemblyman who
believed in it and pushed it through, and it took years.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Saying there's a hearing there.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You can get letters saying that there is a hearing
to come in and talk to them. But I don't
know where to go. I don't know what you're charged with.
I don't know what the reasonable cost is.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
When they sent me the correction letters on my property,
all they would do is put the code section in
the letter.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It was a property, it was a property violation. Correct
Morris correct, that's thank you for that. So you do
know what you were charged with? A property violation? Okay,
they gave you a code that did you look it up?
Speaker 9 (14:36):
I don't know how to use a computer, and I
didn't look Yeah, okay, well, what what the issue was?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
They wanted to inspect my garage and didn't tell me why. Finally,
two weeks they don't have to.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Well, I don't have to tell you why. They don't
have to tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Why they came over two weeks ago. Let inspect my garage,
and I guess it is assumption was I was using
my garage for a business.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Okay, assum center. If you're charged with that? Is that
the assumption center? Have you been charged with that?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I have not, all right, I'm done with that.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay, couldn't get to the point on that one.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So you can't ask me. I need a lawyer. What
were you charged with? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
They corrected me. They sent me a new violation number.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
What is it? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Can you look it up? I don't do computers. Okay,
I don't quite know what to do with that for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Devin, Hello, Devin, welcome.
Speaker 10 (15:38):
Hey, congratulations on the wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I got married. Okay, thank you for.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
That, of course, my brother, my legal issues here. I
called you a couple of years back to roach infest
station with the landlord. He ended up doing the unluck
with detainer, but before we went to court, he settled,
We settled, and we left. We had thirty days to leave,
so we left. It's been about forty five days and
(16:09):
we ended up. We have a lawsuit coming up against
him here in September.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, I'm a little confused.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Let me go through it all, right, So, uh, you
agreed to leave within forty five days or within thirty days, right,
and you leave?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Is that correct?
Speaker 10 (16:28):
So I called you up and explained the roach infestation,
the mold infestation issue. You gave me legal advice or
you gave me some advice. I went ahead, took the advice,
presented all the evidence the judge throughout the initial unlawf
with the Tennan case. He ended up doing it again,
bringing another unlawful detenning case, this time before we got
(16:51):
to the courthouse, immediate before the court date or before
us seeing the judge. He settled with us fifteen thousand.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Okay, settled there, and yeah, okay, and you haven't been
paid within guy actually gat him good legal advice.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, uh, I'm not paid within forty five days. Correct,
he did.
Speaker 10 (17:09):
He did pay us the fifteen thousand. We were out
in thirty days. We were out before the third Okay,
So what's your question. Case we have a lawsuit against
him coming up in September.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
But wait a second, are you settled it? You said
you settled the case.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
It was an unlawful detainer case.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
His case.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
He took us to cou He was taking us to court.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Now I understand so separately. Uh so the settlement was
the unlawful detainer. What is the what is the next
case about? Because you're bringing up another case and what
is that about?
Speaker 10 (17:43):
Yes, so we brought a case against him. Come right
here for what for the mold?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh, the mold in the road.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
If he settled, if he settled the case, the mold
part of was not involved in the settlement.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
No is our attorneys. We have two separate attorneys and
our aarnees.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
All right, what's your question? What's your question? What's your question?
Speaker 10 (18:09):
The question is the question is after twenty one days
he's supposed to return our security depuzzy we left the play.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Actually, I think it's thirty days. I think I think
it's thirty days. Now.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
But as far as the unlawful detainer is concerned, that
should have been part of the settlement of the unlawful detainer.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Mold is separate.
Speaker 10 (18:26):
There's no length, there's no length the security.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
But you settled.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
But it was settled, then you're out already. So I
don't I don't know where to go with that. I'm
just either here's what's happening today. Either I'm not really
smart or I'm not really smart. Okay, it's one of
the two. Now, let me tell you about you being
in pain or someone you know, someone you love, maybe
(18:52):
someone you're treating with in chronic pain. And chronic pain,
Oh man, that is no fun. You hurt all the time.
So let me suggest listening to The Pain Game podcast
because the host, Lindsay Soprano, deals with this kind of
pain twenty four to seven, and man does she do
do it heroically. Every episode ends with a message of hope.
(19:15):
And you'll understand and this is a weird one that
the show is about giving pain purpose. You can actually
give pain purpose. It's not just suffering, it's going through
the pain. It's just the show is really worth listening to.
You'll see you hear and you'll understand so much. You
can listen to the show wherever you listen to podcasts.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Handle on the law, marginal legal advice, James. Welcome James.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What yesh's going, Yeah, it's going fast? Is great? Okay,
all right?
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Moving on staying at a popular hotel. But after a
couple days later, I had, without even knowing though, about six.
Speaker 11 (21:24):
Detecked on additional charges damages.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
And the room wasn't that bad. My issue was I
was out in Texas at the time. I needed that
last minit of money I had to make a.
Speaker 11 (21:38):
Purchase, and it just screwed everything up.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Now, I agreed to the room charge.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
To that one night.
Speaker 7 (21:45):
I didn't agree to anything else.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Are they allowed to charge you?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah? Well, if you look at sure, if you look
at the documents they give you when you sign, it
says right there the you will be charged for any
damn to the room.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I mean, you've agreed to it.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Now, the issue is you're saying that there wasn't six
hundred and seventy five dollars of damage, and that's a dispute.
That's fair, but it's it's going to be tough. Now
you can go ahead and dispute it with your credit
card company, and then the credit card company contacts the hotel,
and the hotel says, yeah, he really did screw it up,
and so you're done with that. So you've agreed to it,
(22:27):
and now the only issue is you know how much
damage was By the way, where do you get a
hotel room for seventy bucks?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Where in God's name.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Do you do that?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Yeah, it's not the it's not the best, but.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
No, I understand, and in Hr. Six hundred and something
dollars check whatever. Then they have to know, they have
to If.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You sue them, then what happens is they have to
prove the damage. They have to come up and say
here's you're gonna say, I didn't do that much damage.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
They have to prove how much damage there is.
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Like my mom died and was sick.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
They don't care. They don't care.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Now, no no one cares if your mom died, not
at all. You know, matter of fact, you know when
my my mom died, I didn't care, So no one cares. Yeah,
all you can do is fight the amount of damage.
They say you did seventy bucks and sounds like you
got ripped off pretty good on.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
This one, James.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
It really.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, yeah, you assume them exactly what you do. But
the problem is it's.
Speaker 11 (23:33):
Intech extra charges that messed up.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Like no, yeah, you can try, you can try. You know,
it depends on the small claims.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Judge.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I try everything if I would. Problem is it's
in Texas and that is problematic.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I just said that problem is didn't I? Rob? Hello, Rob, welcome.
Speaker 11 (23:54):
So my wife about three months ago, she was at
a company meetings saying they were going to close the doors.
They gave them three months, and three months came and uh,
they were going to through the union. They negotiated three
months medical and two weeks Severnce day. So my wife
(24:15):
gets a letter in the mail through the teasers saying
that they gave her a reduction in hours and also
they gave her, say that her termination of employment. So
my question is, does my wife have some sort of
legal recourse because through the union.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Medical, Yeah, Rob, there's a breach.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Okay, they said we're going to give you this and
they didn't, So clearly there's a breach of that agreement.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Where are they if they shut down and they're out
of business?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Where do you go with that?
Speaker 11 (24:57):
Well, they're not a business. They just left the state.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Then you go out. You can try to go out
of state. This is where the union jumps in.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The union negotiated it, and the union on behalf of
everybody else should be should be getting involved. I wouldn't
do this individually because if they went out of state, well,
you know, you're going to sue them out of state.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
You're going to serve them out of state.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
This is complicated stuff, and so I think, yeah, you're
going to need a lawyer, but collectively, you're going to
need a lawyer. So I'm assuming there's a lot of
people in her position, and so okay, then that's then
you go to your union and go there's seventy eight
hundred of us that got screwed. Do something about it.
(25:40):
That's why you have union representation. Yeah, you can't go
on your own on this one. Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Lee, Hi, Lee, you're up. Welcome, Good morning, Bill. Yeh.
Speaker 7 (25:52):
I like the guy, where do you find a seventy
dollars hotel room in Los Angeles?
Speaker 10 (25:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
You know he said no, he said it was in
the high desert, and I think he meant to take it.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think he talking about I don't want to go
up there.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Yeah, okay, okay, we're moving things along really quickly. I'm homeless,
I live in a van. It's twenty three years old.
I can't smog this thing, and it's it's just really, really,
really tough. I heard a friend of mine told me
that apparently they cannot pull you over for bad tags
in California. It dis got pass maybe six months ago.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, of course they can pull you over for tags violation.
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
If they couldn't pull you over for tags, no one
would have tags.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Absolutely, that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They can pull you over for tags and then and
then what happens is they now have probable cause and
they can start doing some fun stuff to you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, but don't think for a.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Moment you don't have to have tags with them.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
There are some worried.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
About them, like apparently they can tow your car. Yeah,
that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
That's exactly where I was going. And those rules may
have changed in terms of taking your car and impounding
the van. And that's easy. And you live in the
city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Yeah, I'm out here in Claremont area. You know Claremont.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I don't think. I don't think. I don't think Claremont
is within the city of Los Angeles. You can call.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Here's what I would do. This is probably is this
a local or a state issue? I would call Claremont
City City Hall and talk about traffic enforcement and they
have all kinds of people involved in there and ask
that same question. And here's the difference between asking me
and asking them, what would you guess?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
The difference would be.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Lee, You're smarter than they are.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
No, they know more than I Thank you for that.
I appreciate it. This is why I like you. It's
they probably know what they're talking about. That is the difference.
This is handle on the law. Can't f I handle here.
On a Saturday morning, we continue on with the show. Oh,
this afternoon two o'clock Neil Savedra, the Fork reporter, and
(28:06):
he's with me Monday through Friday. His show is two
to five this afternoon Saturday, and he's broadcasting from the
Wild Fork Store in Long Beach, and I'm joining him

daughter is going to show up too, and so you know,
why not, I'll have her taste some stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Back we go.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
More handle on the law, marginal legal advice, Joseph, Hello Joseph.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Good morning, Yeah, good morning. My question is in two
thousand and eight, when the recession happened, I used to
have a business and I lost the business. And at
that time I got a thick where where I'm not
being able to walk until now. And I have one
(29:18):
credit card yet and this third party collector they've been
they can keep harassing, keep harassing until now. And I
got some help from family and the church to pay.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I got a couple of questions, Joseph, how much is
that credit card debt?
Speaker 6 (29:40):
The credit card that was around twenty four thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, when is the last time you made a payment
on that credit card debt?
Speaker 6 (29:50):
I didn't Okay, when.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Was the last time you made a payment? You started
with you bought twenty four thousand dollars worth of stuff
and you never paid for it.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
No, I did payments on it until when.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Was hold on. So let's start again.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
When was the last time you made a payment on
that card?
Speaker 6 (30:13):
About two thousand and nine?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Okay? So, uh, the collection people are calling you? Correct?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Yeah, they they send me a letter. I called them
a truck.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
It doesn't matter. But all right, Joseph, here's what you
tell them.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You tell them to go pounce and have them look
up the statute of limitations. They are so past the
statute of limitations. Have they sued you?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Do you have a judgment against you? I?
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Yes, they send me a judgment, and I tried to
settle with them on it.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Okay, all right, so they did. Okay, so they did.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
So they did sue you. And did you go to
court at all or just let them have the judgment?
Speaker 6 (30:56):
No? I didn't go to court.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Okay, So they.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Got their judgment too, and nine all right, two thousand
and nine.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
They got their judgment.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's good for ten years and they can reaffirm it
for another ten years.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
All right.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
So you still owe the money as opposed to statute
limitations is gone. Okay, So you owe twenty four thousand dollars, okay,
So what's your question?
Speaker 6 (31:18):
My question is, you know I'm about to get my
Social Security because I'm on a government's help, okay, and
they come off to that for me.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
No, they can't come after the check.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Nope, nope, nope, but they can come after a bank
account that you put the money into. Once it's in
a bank account, they can come after that. So what
a lot of people do is they just switch bank
accounts because they have a judgment and they're believe me,
someone's looking for the money. The collection agency, they're looking
(31:50):
for the money. I wouldn't volunteer anything, just say okay,
you know I got a judgment. Congratulations. Well you owe
the money? Okay, fine, all right, and now what's your
next question? Well, you owe the money, and then they
start threatening you. You know, we're going to put you
in jail, We're going to take away your firstborn son.
It's very biblical. That's kind of crap you're going to hear.
(32:12):
And then you throw in your harassing me. I got it,
and so but what is your question?
Speaker 6 (32:20):
Was you know you just answered my question and I
just thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
On Okay, you got it all right, So that's what
you do.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
And frankly, for twenty four thousand dollars they're going to
try to collect. I mean, there's no question about that.
But how do you settle with twenty four thousand dollars
with a debt which most of it, by the way,
is interest when you're basically on government disability pay and
you know how much money can you possibly get? See
that that becomes really problematic. U Trish, Hi, Trish, you're up, welcome.
(32:51):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 9 (32:53):
Hi?
Speaker 12 (32:54):
Okay? I wrote down notes so I could be succinct
here right, timeline here, Okay, So I have three siblings
who would and we all really appreciate your your opinion
on the situation. We have an attorney, but he's kind
of been ghosting us. So we have a situation with
our mom's property passed away. It will be two years
(33:15):
in this coming January, and we have a brother we
filed in court to get him out of the house.
This is a brother who lost hero inheritance twenty years ago.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Hang on a minute. Who owns the house?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Who owns the house, who has title to the house,
right now.
Speaker 12 (33:32):
Does all five siblings have so long?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
All right?
Speaker 11 (33:37):
Question?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Okay, he is living in the house, he owns the house.
You're not going to victim. You're not going to victim.
Speaker 12 (33:42):
He's out, okay, O, he's out.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Okay, So what's your question.
Speaker 12 (33:46):
That's what I'm saying. I took notes. I took notes.
This is something I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (33:50):
So he's out of the house. The property was in
a Lady Birdeed. We were all okay, we were all
on a Lady Birdeed, all five siblings right, okay. So
he's out of the house, and we found a buyer
for the house in her death. Bro finds out he
has all these cleans.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
All right, got it? So he is all right, So
let me interry. It doesn't matter what I r s
he has that.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I mean, they could have a lean on his part
of the house. I wouldn't worry about it.
Speaker 12 (34:19):
Claimed his part, well, they quit claimed his part?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
And yeah, okay, who he's quit? Who did he quit?
Claim his part?
Speaker 12 (34:27):
Two to his son because the title company said we
need a clear title. You need to sign a disclaimer
disclaiming your part. He wouldn't he just he goes and
he's like, we talked to my attorney.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
How much?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
How much? How much is the house worth? How much
is the property worth?
Speaker 12 (34:42):
Only half because he didn't maintain it when you lived there?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
How much?
Speaker 12 (34:46):
Oh, we lost the buyer. We lost the buyer.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Understand you lost the buyer. I get it. How much
is it worth?
Speaker 12 (34:56):
Now I'm gonna say the best fut the best offer.
We out with one hundred and twenty thousand firm an investor.
Now we lock your guy. The other office were.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Like, right, so here's here's what you have, but it's
like normal, here's what Okay, doesn't matter. I'm just curious
at west to how far you're going to go for
one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 12 (35:16):
We don't know what to do because I know.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
So you're a lawyer. The only way you're gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
It's a complicated you got you have to file the
lawsuit and you have to force force him and have
a court order forcing him to sign off because he
refuses to cooperate, and because of all of the Shenani.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Is going on.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Uh, there's no way around it. And you said your
lawyer is ghosting you. It's time for another lawyer. There's
there's nothing more I can tell you except this is
a complicated case. Uh, this is not an easy case
to deal with, and you need a lawyer. Now, how
much you're gonna spend for a lawyer where your cut
is twenty twenty five thousand dollars, that's the other question.
(35:55):
Which way do you go? All right, I have a
question for you, and that it's about your breath.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
Now.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I know you don't think you have smelly breath because
I know you never wake up in the morning, and
I know you never drink coffee, and I know you never,
for example, eat onion or garblics or any foods.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
That cause bad breath. So you don't have to worry
about it. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
The rest of us, well, we have smelly breath, and
what can you do about it? Zelmans, that's the best
answer I know. And by the way, your friends, your family,
they don't tell you that you have horrible breath. Now,
if you're talking to someone and they're throwing up on
your face, okay, maybe that's the issue. Maybe you have
the you know, but the bottom line is you can
(36:39):
have fresh, great breath for hours, and bad breath also
comes from your gut, because that's where the food goes. Now,
breath mints work in your mouth, but they don't work
in your mouth and your gut, and this is where
Zelmans goes to work. Zelmans does both. It's a little
capsule and it has a minty coat on it, and
(37:01):
you stuck on the mint part and then when that's gone,
you bite into her swallow and then they go to
work in your gut. That's Zelman's. And right now you
