all do. Three zero three Martino, three zho three Martino, gentlemen,

(01:31):
start your engines. I watched a ten minute YouTube video
this morning on shops like you guys have independent shops,
and I didn't realize one of the biggest complaints right
now is the cost. And we're talking pretty new cars.
I'm not talking electric, although I'm sure they fall into it,
but we're talking new cars that GM and four to Nissan,

(01:54):
and all of them are putting such a fire wall
up and tell me if this is true or not.
For you guys to get to the information and diagnose
them through the computer, you have to spend the most
outrageous money in the world to buy some of these
updates for your stuff. And this guy that I was

(02:15):
watching said it could eventually, if something's not done about it,
be the death of some of these smaller shops. One
of the guys owned a transmission shop, Jeff, and he
was saying, I forget if it was Nissan or Toyota,
but one of them. Some of the updates are so
expensive for these computers you guys. Use, it's just ridiculous,

(02:36):
unless if you're doing a ton of them, it's not
even worth buying. I mean, what are your thoughts on this?

Speaker 6 (02:41):
Guys? You have to buy a subscription to start with, give.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Us an idea real noted sun.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
If you want to download an update, you buy it
as though it's a part. So every card that you
log in you want to do an update, it is
to two hundred and fifty bucks.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Oh wait a minute, wait a minute.

Speaker 7 (02:55):
So even if you have the subscription, you have to
buy the download.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
So each car, if you had ten Nissans, you had
done twenty.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
Five hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Oh my god. Yes, Does the dealerships work the same
way with them or no?

Speaker 7 (03:08):
Well, it's their part, so I'm not sure how they
how they work, how their finances work. But for us,
it's accessible and it's available.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
But if you and they have to make it accessible.
But now it almost seems like this is a way
of getting around it. You just make it so astronomical
and it's horrible for the consumer because ultimately you have
to charge the consumer for that.

Speaker 7 (03:31):
Sure, but you have multiple components. You change the door
handle on a later model vehicle, you need to update it.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
You're telling me if a door handle breaks on say
a Nissan or any anything.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
Well it's crash protected. So if the door's open, won't
go win a gear. Well, so now you got to
you gotta you gotta get it.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
If it's a Nissan, that costs two hundred and fifty.
So not only does the consumer have to buy the
door handle, yep, they got to pay for the programming.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (03:56):
We put an inflow sensor on a Nissan yesterday, and
the inflow sensors one hundred bucks, the labor's fifty bucks.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
In the programmings three hundred.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Oh my god, because we had to update the programming
to match the.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
I wonder where I wonder where the fairness comes in,
because there was organizations out there that purely they're lobbyists
and they purely make the rules to where they have
to give independent shops access to stuff that is crazy.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
So free though, yeah, they give you access, it's not free.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
No, so not even not even ten years ago. I
remember I spent I want to say, eight to ten
grand on the computer that talks to everything or back
then everything, and then there was some different updates and
there was very few things we couldn't do. But each

(04:49):
year I'd have to update that thing and we only
had one computer. Most texts aren't going to buy this
for the entire shop. Is it still kind of that way?
Or to your text own them? My text all have scanners,
so they but you pay the two fifty the shop.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
That's a whole different scale.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
That's a whole different scale that.

Speaker 7 (05:09):
Comes off on a laptop based program. So the hand
holds hand held scanners from say snap On or Hotel
or one of these. Most of the texts have their own.
And we have a shop scan well.

Speaker 8 (05:19):
And depending on which scanner you've got, you know what
we've got on our zeus. We actually have to pay
a monthly subscription in order to keep that thing updated.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
How much is the hardware roughly.

Speaker 8 (05:28):
With to buy the actual scanner itself, depending on which
package you got, between twelve to fifteen thousand.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
And then you have to pay monthly.

Speaker 6 (05:35):
You have to pay monthly.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
And then, like Kevin's saying certain things, you got to
do something totally different.

Speaker 8 (05:39):
Yeah, you go through a pass trough connector where you
work off of a laptop to do the program, and
he was talking about and then you actually have to
go to Nissan site or Chrysler site or whomever, and
they all have different prices you have to go through,
and they all you have to download different things for
different parts of the car.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
That's insane, and.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
If you screw it up, you own it.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
That My favorite so far is your example of the
door handle. You have a one hundred dollars part, You've
got labor for that part, and then you have another
two hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 8 (06:11):
Well, some of these later cars too, you know, like
he says, if you screw it up, if you lose
battery power for whatever reason, and you know, so you plug.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
The laptop into the ODBC two right, yeah, with a
pass with a PASS two connector correct box they call it,
so it talks to it.

Speaker 8 (06:28):
Some of these computers now you're you know, because they
come stupid. So you've got a program and if you're
in the middle of a programming session and you lose power,
something gets corrupted and boom it wipes out.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Then there's no you have to buy.

Speaker 8 (06:39):
Another company, right well, and then get another subscription to
reload it.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
How often when you're rebuilding a transmission to these kind
of things come into play, you.

Speaker 8 (06:48):
Know, probably once for maybe sometimes twice a week. Do
we actually have to get in and do the programming?

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Oh my god, it is so insane, It is so insane.
When did they go to that kind of subscription model
like nissa? Is that fairly new?

Speaker 6 (07:01):
It's say four or five years, maybe you've.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Got They keep coming up with stuff.

Speaker 8 (07:05):
Well, a lot of the equipment just became available to
us a few years ago.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
You couldn't even get it.

Speaker 8 (07:09):
Yeah, you pretty much had had to roll this thing
over to a dealership a lot of time. That's why
a lot of guys don't do Europeans because Europeans have
their own scanner, their own this, this, this is so
we don't see enough of them to justify the costs.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Yeah, yeah, I have to see a lot of Jaguars
do You can't do.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
That's why you get the European specialists.

Speaker 9 (07:27):
You know.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
I learned from a guy that runs or manages a
safe light that Tesla up until not long ago, didn't
give anybody access for the calibration. Now people can buy it.
But when you look at a bill, when you get
a windshield done, there that calibration packs the same way.
They've got to literally log in to Tesla with the

(07:49):
VIN and Tesla kind of sends them something and then
they hooked a computer up to Tesla and it runs
through whatever and calibrates it. But it's like a one
time per Vin and then they charge them for it.
And then of course you see it on your bill
from safe Light. I mean it's like that's for a windshield.
I mean it's getting absurd. Hey, Marylyn, what is going

(08:11):
on with you? By the way, we got three lines
open three oh three seven one three eight two five
five three oh three. Martino would love to hear from
you right now. Any car questions, buying the car, issues
with the car. I got the best in studio Maryland.
What's up? Hi, hun?

Speaker 10 (08:27):
Thank you for taking my call.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
You got it first.

Speaker 10 (08:30):
Thank you first and foremost. I have a home where
I have about a twelve by twelve sign saying no trespass.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (08:39):
I had a process server come yesterday banging on my
door to the point where I jumped because he banged
on the door so hard. Yeah, answered the door. He's
asked for my husband. I tell him he's not there.
He's not here because he's a trucker. So he's over
the road and he says, And I asked him who
are you and he says he's a process server and

(08:59):
he's from the Commissioner's office. I tell, well, my husband
isn't here. If it's for him, he says, well, I
could leave with it you. I ton'd no, it looks
like it's something important, so no, I prefer that you
come back when my husband's here. So he's just flipping
through his papers and I don't know what not and
says okay, walks off. Comes back about a minute later
and says, I talked to my boss and they said

(09:21):
I could leave it here. To know, sir, I don't.
I prefer not to sign for anything for my husband.
I prefer that he do it. And he says, well,
I'm leaving it. So I have a wrought iron door
and it has the slats and the screen. He leaves
it there and just walks off.

Speaker 11 (09:35):
Is that legal?

Speaker 5 (09:36):
That's a great question. Hold on, we're going to talk
about it after this. Is it legal? Very interesting question.
She's got a huge no trespassing sign. The guy simply
walked past that the service is for the husband. The
husband does live there, but he's a long haul trucker
and he's not there.

Speaker 12 (09:58):
Hmm, Mark, there's more then that. Maryland said it was
from the commissioner.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
That means.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
I don't know what that means. We'll find out, but
I've got a lot of insight into this one. Hold
on Maryland three oh three Martino.

Speaker 13 (10:14):
Go with a sure thing Denver's Best roofer Excel Roofing

time for an insurance check up free, no obligation comparison
call Compass Insurance. Pay too much your coverage at dozens
of insurance companies find out now three oh three, seven
to seven to one help. You'll think you're his only

(10:36):
customer when you choose Frank durand the real estate Man
dot com to list your home with Remax Alliance three
oh three nine two zero sixteen twenty two.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
All right, three oh three seven one three A two
five five. You know it's crazy, and I'll I'll talk
about that later, but I just point did something out
in Gmail that drives me crazy, and I still, for
the life of me, don't understand it. I don't know
how to fix it, and it's just nuts. Let's get
back to Maryland. Maryland, Maryland, basically someone was trying to

(11:15):
serve a lawsuit or a court appearance to her husband.
She's got a big sign out front that basically says,
you know, no trespassing, and she's got some kind of
a lock gait or something like that, some kind of
fence or something. But anyhow, so I want to answer

(11:36):
that one first. No, a process server with a no
trespassing sign should not come onto your yard. They can't
legally do it. I don't know what the ramification is
for it. I guess you could call the police and
try to get them cited for trespassing. But no, he
should not legally do that. But that really doesn't matter,
and I'll get into that in a second. Maryland, I

(11:58):
don't understand why you would I did. At this point,
they left it. It's evident you know it's there. And
what would happen is if you showed up to court
to actually fight, or if your husband did the process
server or the actual service itself. They're just going to
show up and reserve you there. So in most cases,

(12:20):
the best it's gonna do is extend the process of
when the court date would be. At this point, you
know about it. Your husband most likely knows about it.
I guess you could simply say you didn't know about
it and not show up to court, but you risked
something really big, and that would be a default judgment.

(12:42):
So my gut tells me you should show up or
your husband, or at least call them and try to
figure it out. But you said something that threw all
of us off. I'm curious about you said the commissioner.
What the heck does that mean?

Speaker 10 (12:57):
Yeah, Commissioner's office, And I'm like, the commissioner of what,
I don't He didn't even tell me what county. He
had a really bad attitude, like he was angry with
me or something, and here I just met the guy.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
It sounds like a process server in general. What does
the paperwork say though? What was it about?

Speaker 14 (13:18):
To my knowledge, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (13:20):
It's still just sitting there. I'm afraid to touch it
because if I touched it, am I going to get
in trouble? Because I'm not the one that it was
supposed to be served.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Now, you can serve anybody at their residence and anybody
that basically is there and opens the door. Not a child, though,
but I mean pretty much anywhere else you did get
served your husband did get served if that's his residence
and you opened the door, did they do it properly?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
No?

Speaker 5 (13:47):
But once again, none of that matters. He did get served.

Speaker 15 (13:50):
Oh all right, is.

Speaker 10 (13:52):
There anywhere anyone I can talk to about it, like
as if he wants to pursue it with an attorney
for him coming on our property?

Speaker 5 (13:59):
Not?

Speaker 13 (14:00):
No.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
The only that part doesn't matter. The only thing you
could do there is call the police up and tell
them this guy trespassed as a server. But I don't
think they're going to do anything about it. It's very
technical when it comes to a no trespassing sign. Technically
you're not supposed to trespass, but people do it all
the time. Go ahead, de miitri, You've served a lot

(14:21):
of people. You must have thoughts on this.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
Well.

Speaker 12 (14:25):
You know, we had an almost identical call when you
were gone, and Marco Benonelli was guest hosting the show
and we discussed what constitutes gutter service where the defendant
is not properly served. Yep, And he said to this caller,
and it was pretty good advice, which is, you can
fight the service. You can hire an attorney to make

(14:45):
a limited appearance in court on your behalf and this
limited appearance does not entitle the plaintiff to serve the attorney,
so they'll have to start the process all over again.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
Well that's what I said. It's purely a time play
because as you do hire, if she hires an attorney
that does everything Marco's talking about, they're going to end
up serving her at some point. And you're you're all
you're doing is resetting the clock, and you're spending money
to do it. Eventually they'll find a way to serve you.
Well no, no, no, I think eventually they're going to

(15:19):
serve you in court over the bad service.

Speaker 12 (15:21):
Well, my point is she doesn't have to show up
to court. Oh I got if the her attorney.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
You're saying they don't have to serve the attorney.

Speaker 12 (15:27):
And yeah, they won't be able to because the attorney
is able to make a limited appearance on her behalf
gess simply for the purpose of fighting the service. However,
it's still stuck in the door of Maryland. So go
take a look at it. You got nothing to lose.
See what that is and see when your answer is due.
Because maybe they served you late and.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
No one knows who you are. But what do you
what do you guys think it's about.

Speaker 10 (15:52):
I think it's about property that we have and been
at Colorado.

Speaker 5 (15:55):
Okay, so you guys have at least you're aware of it.
And do you think there's actually a good case against
you or it's something that you guys could defend. In
other words, do you guys think you're on the right.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 10 (16:08):
I think we're on the right most definitely.

Speaker 5 (16:10):
And if so, if it's a property dispute, maybe you
talk to someone on our referral list about this. But
you just, like Dimitri said, you really need to open
it up and see it and then share it with
like Bradley O'Brien, he could probably look at that and
give you guys some really good advice on the actual
underlying situation. But don't. I really don't think you should

(16:33):
worry about the service at all, to be quite frank,
I mean, you're eventually going to get served. All you're
doing is putting it off and that probably cost I
bet you that costs a couple thousand bucks to fight
the service these days. Yeah, I have no idea, but
I wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 12 (16:49):
But I think it's more important to see what the
heck is it that you guys served with and what
are the deadlines? Because you don't want to miss any
of those, regardless of the quality of service.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
I wonder what the commissioner that part really like a
land commissioner, county commission More likely the county's coming after you.
You guys better, you guys better look that up and
get get with an attorney. I thought you meant like
a neighbor dispute.

Speaker 10 (17:12):
Uh No, we have two parcels of acres in uh
in Bennett, Colorado, and my husband he's he does part
time junking and sometimes he gets kind of dirty. Uh
And I think that might be what it's about.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Got it. They're saying the land is being used for
something it's not supposed to. Yeah, like a zoning violation
or maybe of a contamination violation. That would suck.

Speaker 10 (17:35):
No, we have we have kind of col phillips on
there that drilled an oil. Well, yeah, so it's not
considered vacant land.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
Are you leasing the land?

Speaker 10 (17:47):
We owned the land.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Well, how is Conaco phillips on it?

Speaker 14 (17:51):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Well they found oil on on the land that's not
my Did you give them rights to go in there?
So are they leasing the land, how were they using it?
How did you guys extend permission?

Speaker 10 (18:04):
They came and told us that they found oil under
our land, and we have the mineral rights, so we
give them permission to drill there, and all those big
tanks and the drill head is there, puff jacket is
there and everything. And we were told that once that
moved in, that it's not vacant land anymore. And they're
trying to say it's vacant land and it's not anymore

(18:26):
since the drilling went on.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Interesting.

Speaker 8 (18:30):
I think you dous what it's about too. You could
probably get Conical Phillips to come in on your behalf.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
That's exactly what I was going to say. You might
want to get that opened and then reach out to
whoever you did the deal with. With Conico Phillips. I
assure you they got more attorneys in the entire state
of Colorado, no doubt about it. And I don't know why.
If there's oil on that land and they're pulling the
profit out of there, they're the ones that are probably going.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
To look at this.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Are they still out there on the land They still
have a deal with you guys, Yes, yes they do. Yeah, you, guys,
you really should open that up.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Ye, stop ignoring it, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:07):
Don't ignore it, and then reach out to Knaco before
anything and go, hey, guys, what tell's going on here?

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Mark?

Speaker 16 (19:15):
Before we hang up? Aren't there exceptions to trespass rule?
In other words, if you're a cop, or you're a mailman,
or you're a delivery person, that you're allowed I feel
what the word is that you're allowed to go up
and knock on the door.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Oh, at a police officer or somebody of law enforcement. Absolutely,
I never thought of a post office worker, but I
would assume maybe a post office inspector or a post
office cop. Absolutely, or if you just a mailman, probably,
and I'm sure delivery from that, but not with a
process server under most normal circumstances. Now as sheriff serving

(19:52):
it would be an interesting one because the sheriff showing
up to serve it. Yes, but this guy wasn't a
shaff that so, but that's that's a good question, Doc.
I'm sorry, hold on, go ahead, Marylyn.

Speaker 10 (20:03):
When he walked off, he was have this big old smile,
and there's this we have off street parking. He started
taking the license plate number to a truck that's parked
in front of my house, which does not belong to
my husband, but he's taken down.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
The life Marylyn, you guys, you had no offense. I
assume your husband's in the same boat as you, which
is good, but you're really focusing on the wrong thing.
The service is done, you know about it, no matter what.
You guys got to face the piper on this, no
matter what. And I really think you guys need to
quit thinking of this aspect because there is going to

(20:38):
be a core date someone signed off on that service.
You can go in in front of the judge, like
I said, and say tell him exactly how you got served.
If he lies under oath to the judge, well he's crazy.
Well maybe you got video surveillance or something. But if
he doesn't.

Speaker 10 (20:55):
Lie, your neighbors all in neighbors have videos.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
That's fine. Maybe they I've seen it, but Marilyn, listen
to what I'm saying. You go in there and you
say you're on or they didn't service properly, and they didn't.
From everything you told me, this guy did not serve
you properly, and you prove it to the judge and
the guy acknowledges it to the judge at a hearing.
You know what happens, then they serve you right down
there in the courtroom. That's my whole point. And then

(21:21):
you just started the clock over. Big deal. They've got
to go get another hearing. You're going to end up
showing up now. Dmitri gave some advice from Marco, who's
an attorney that we respect on this show, and he said,
you can hire some attorneys. They can fight it to
where it won't go down that way, but you're still
going to pay a few thousand bucks easily to do that.

(21:43):
You might not win, and eventually you're going to get
served again. That's where it keeps coming back to. So,
I mean, you've got a lot of things to think about.
But what I would do is go open that package,
see what's going on, reach out to Kanako or ex On,
whoever it was. Basically, if you need to hire an attorney,
I'm telling you send it over to Brad O'Brien. I mean,

(22:05):
that's just kind of how you do it.

Speaker 16 (22:06):
But how about you if she opens up reason and
calls us and then we can maybe point in the
right direction.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
Well, I already know it's it's it's gotta be Bennett.
I mean they basically already acknowledge that, but make sure
it is. I mean, my goodness might be Ed McMahon
trying to give you a million bucks more after this.

All right, three oh three seven one three a two
five five We got lives open. If you've been ripped
off or taking advantage over any car questions three zero
three seven one three eight two five five three oh
three Martino love to hear from you right now. Dmitri
during the break, was doing some research on service. We
get that question. Actually quite a bit was I served legally?

(23:24):
And a lot of times you might not have been,
but it really doesn't matter ultimately. But you discovered some
Colorado case law.

Speaker 12 (23:32):
Yeah, Mark, I looked up a much more narrow topic
than what you just summarized, which is basically, can a
process server trustpass? Yeah, and specifically can a process server
ignore aspass a no treuspassing sign?

Speaker 5 (23:47):
And the case and I was kind of surprised.

Speaker 12 (23:49):
The car To State Court of Appeals ruled on this
in twenty nineteen in a case called People Versus Nickel,
and Nickel was being served by somebody on his farm
despite note trespassing signs, and mister Nickle allegedly dis behaved towards.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
It shot his ass or what I mean, how much
did he miss behaved?

Speaker 12 (24:08):
Well, you know, it's pretty humorous, but allegedly mister neckl
came out wielding a metal pipe and as the process
server tried to retreat, he found that somebody had jacked
up his car, so he wasn't even able to escape.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Oh wait a minute, Wait a minute, guy who jacked
up his Carl's kid.

Speaker 12 (24:30):
Well, I haven't gotten that far. It's a twenty five
pitch of page. Oh my god, it's fascinating. There are
even excerpts from the nine one one calls that both parties.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Made to read one of them, Oh it's you know, listen,
this guy goes to serve him. He goes past and
no trespassing. Did he like park it the no trespassing?
Then enter the property.

Speaker 12 (24:50):
It's a farm. So he parked in a long, long driveway.
And so mister Nickel is alleged to have said to
the nine one one operator, he's on private property and
I'm going to neutralize he's a threat right now.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
We got to get mister Nichols on or them kind
of he could go after bad.

Speaker 12 (25:08):
Contractors, process server. The nine one one operator responds, no,
you can't do that. Nickel says, would you like me
to render him incompetent?

Speaker 5 (25:17):
Would you like me to shoot him?

Speaker 12 (25:21):
Needless to say, mister Nickel got prosecuted for several felonies
and he appeals his uh, his his conviction.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
However he appeals it as of now or going back,
well in the this is back this show, So he
got in trouble then and there for the threat. Yeah,
and apparently you know, chasing the guy with a pipe
and beating up his car.

Speaker 12 (25:43):
He didn't beat up the car he jacked up the
car like with a jack.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
Driver, We're no longer contact. Love this guy so so,
but he gets in trouble, He gets in ben trouble
and then so he either goes to jail, whatever happens.

Speaker 12 (25:59):
Victor of several offenses, and then he does what appeal
he appeals and.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
What did the did he appeal based upon? Really the
start of the no trespassing.

Speaker 12 (26:10):
Yeah, that seems to be the genesis of his entire defense.
Ultimately it didn't work, as he lost an appeal. The
appeals court affirmed all of the lower court's decisions. But
in any case, the relevant part that I was trying
to find is not whether it's legal to threaten with
the process.

Speaker 18 (26:29):
Back up the guy's car.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Can you imagine you jump in your car and the
wheels are spending, You're going nowhere?

Speaker 12 (26:34):
But the appeals so I was interested in a more
neuro topic, which is does the process server need to
turn around when he sees the no trespassing sign? And
basically the appeals court held that no, a process server
can proceed despite the presence of a no trespassing sign. However,
you can revoke the person answering the door or somewhere

(26:56):
in the house can revoke this implied license to enter
the property.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Got it by telling the dude to leave, and when
he left, when came back. Yeah, so not only I
see it, not a whod on. So tell me if
the way you're reading this, if this would be Craig,
this lady looks out, sees this guy walking up, Yeah,
she needs She could probably have yelled out the window, yes,
well you cannot trespass, leave now, leave now, and he

(27:20):
would have been required to turn around and leave. But
because she opened, didn't talk to him, and I'm just
talking about her caller, Yeah, because she opened, didn't talk
to him and didn't revoke it. Actually she did. She
told him to leave. According to her, he left, he
went out and made a phone call that his boss,
and the boss said, no, bring it back. Yea, So
it probably was that was bad service. That well, no,

(27:44):
that's a separate issue, right. What I was trying to
find out is if the guy was truly trespassing, So
when he came back, he really was trespassing, Yeah, because
she revoked his limited rights right to license to enter.
But like I said, though, it probably was bad service.
But what the hell's doing I think that's a different issue.

Speaker 12 (28:04):
Right, So did the guy commit trespass in my opinion, yes,
my opinion he did.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Was the service bad as a result of his trespass?

Speaker 6 (28:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
I would say it was.

Speaker 12 (28:13):
Why wouldn't it be, Well, because the service of process
is governed by an entirely different body of law, which
is going to be Colorado civil procedures.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, but I'm still telling you a it doesn't matter
because even if they go to courts, are going to
get served there, right right, right. This is just an
interesting intellectual very very interesting. But I would argue, yes,
you can't trespass and serve somebody, Yes, unless people tell
you to get the hell out. I had girl scouts
one time. I said, you get the hell off my lawn.

(28:44):
If they can't, I'm just kidding them. I did not
tell cookies, and we have those damn cookies right in
that wagon. No, no, no, it would be curious. So
I wonder who could answer that, I mean, bad service? Oh,
any of our attorney friends could answer. You'd be surprised,
know they don't. They just wait for the service to
come back. I mean, really, they might know the law,

(29:05):
they knows, they might have fought. Okay, you name one,
let's get them on. I bet they don't know. Oh, Marco, Marco,
he might still be on his trip. Hold on, I
gotta take this break. We got open lines three oh
three seven one three eight two five five. And by
the way, if you're a process server, we'd love to
hear from you right now what you know about this.

(29:25):

this convertible? Uh?

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, Hi, Mike.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
Are you doing I'm doing great, Jim. How are you?
Do you own a convertible? No?

Speaker 20 (31:21):
I do not.

Speaker 21 (31:22):
I want to buy a convertible. It's on my bucket list.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
Why is that? I'm just curious. I've never like they
look cool, but I mean like they look like they're
also a pain in the ass. But go ahead, well,
yes and no.

Speaker 21 (31:34):
The very first car I owned was a convertible. Nice
that was fifty five years ago.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Did you pick up a lot of chicks in it?
As like a chick magnet if you do own one.

Speaker 21 (31:46):
Well, it wasn't a bad thing.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Let's say that.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
I like that. What is your question?

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Well, I want to.

Speaker 21 (31:53):
Buy a convertible. Yeah, I know there's some problems with convertibles,
but I'm at a point in my life where it's
something that I want to do. And there's only two
as far as I know, only two American car makers
that make convertibles now, Chevy and Ford.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
Is that correct, guys? You guys even know American? He said, though, yeah, American?
Well what other American cars are there?

Speaker 6 (32:18):
Dodge?

Speaker 5 (32:19):
Okay, Dodge? Are you looking for you or used?

Speaker 22 (32:22):
Well, it kind of depends.

Speaker 21 (32:24):
I would buy either potentially.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
What are the Chevy and Ford's I assume, Well, the
Mustang's electric only now, so that's not going.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
To be an either way.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
You get a gas is that that's probably going to
be a convertible. They've been doing it forever, probably and
then I would assume the can you get a Corvette?

Speaker 21 (32:45):
I could get it. That would be probably my last choice.
I'm not sure I want to spend that much money,
but I would consider that. So either it would either
be a Camaro or a Corvette. There are foreign makers,
but I'm.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
A Camaro would be sweet man.

Speaker 21 (33:02):
And the kind of money that they're asking for, like
Alectus convertible or.

Speaker 5 (33:06):
Something, how much? How much is like the cheapest one?
Is that going to be the Mustang?

Speaker 21 (33:12):
Probably Mustang and Camaro are pretty comparable in price from
what I've seen.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
And how much are those now?

Speaker 21 (33:20):
You know you can spend anywhere from like twenty five
to fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
I think, wow, that's crazy.

Speaker 23 (33:25):
Whether they're never used?

Speaker 5 (33:26):
So what's your budget?

Speaker 21 (33:28):
And what I'm looking for feedback as far as you know,
any issues with reliability or is it just.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Kind of a.

Speaker 21 (33:38):
You know, it is what it is?

Speaker 5 (33:39):
What about So you're not necessarily asking about the convertible
part of it. What you're asking is out of the
Chevy and the Ford lines, which is one of the
ones you want. What do these guys think are the
better running cars? Hold on, that's a great question. Three

Speaker 6 (35:10):
We got the.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
Whole gang together three h three seven one three eight
two five five. We were talking during the breakout. We
used to scare our siblings. Well, I don't have any siblings,
and it made me think of a story with my
daughter Addie, who's graduating tomorrow, by the way, law school. Anyhow,
she uh Susanna and I tricker about a year ago,

(35:32):
maybe two years ago. It was finals for that year
up in Laramie, so it was finals for the semester,
and we told her that we were bringing our son
to Hawaii and we wanted her to go, and of
course we booked a trip right when finals were so
we knew she couldn't. She was devastated. She bought it

(35:53):
hook line and sinker. Devastated she was. And then at
the end, ah, we're just kidding, haha. But I've always
done that to my kids. It's just the way I am.

Speaker 16 (36:05):
No I did to my son. We were driving. We
had flown to New York and borrowed my sister's car
to drive up to the mountains in New York. And
I don't know how old Eric was, but she had
one of the first cars where you had the radio
controls on the steering wheel. Yeah, So every time Eric
went to change the station, we would change it, and

(36:26):
he we convinced him that he broke his aunt Kathy's car.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
No idea.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
He was in tears.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
I was crazy. I love. We've always been a practical
joke family. So when she went to get back at
us for it, it happened probably about four or five
months later, so everything was just well forgotten, not looking
for the comeback. We get a call that she's coming
home from Laramie for the weekend and it was unexpected,

(36:51):
and we're like, what, Hell's she coming home for this Friday.
In her school, they never had classes on Friday, so
sometimes she'd come home and then leave back up Sunday,
but generally not. And she goes is dad there, She's
talking to my wife, she's talking to sus his dad there,
and she's like, well, he's not here right now, but
why And she's like, well, I really need to sit

(37:14):
down and talk to both of you, and I don't
want to talk about it right now, but it's really important.
When's dad going to be home? And she's like, well,
he should be home in a half hour. She's like good,
we're about an hour out. Or she's about an hour out.
So Suzanne calls me and says, hey, Litlan tells me
about it, and I'm going, wait a minute. There is
nothing good about this. Absolutely. I can't think of any

(37:38):
reason except for one reason. She is saying this, and
I say this to Suzanne. I said, I bet she's pregnant.
I said, I bet she's freaking pregnant. And Suzanne goes,
I was kind of thinking that too. She goes, Listen,
no matter what happens, you got to be cool. You
have got to be cool, no matter what, she says.

(37:58):
You got to hold your poo and you gotta be
really cool on this. So we wait and we're just
sweating it out and sweating it out, and she shows
up and she looks stressed, big time stressed. And she
sits down, and sure enough, she goes, I don't know
what to do. I don't want you guys mad. I'm pregnant.

(38:24):
And Suzanne explodes the one that told me to keep cool.
She goes, where is that boyfriend of yours? How come
that son of a bitch isn't here? How come he's
not here facing the music? What's going on? And I'm
over there going damn, I don't got to do a
damn thing. She's got this thing handled. And I'll tell

(38:44):
you she had us so good. Suzanne was so mad,
just so frustrated, not over the pregnancy, but over the
boyfriend wouldn't show up during this conversation. And then I
look over Addie and I just see this little smirk
she got us. She's like, eh, that's for wh LIAI Oh.

(39:09):
It was terrifying, the most terror. That must have been
one of the most terrifying things. I was speechless. Have
you guys ever seen me speechless? I absolutely was speechless.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
I've never seen like Suzanne go off either.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
I made I wish she was here. She was hissed.

Speaker 6 (39:28):
Ye.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
All right, what are your thoughts on this convertible? Jim
called up. He wants to buy a convertible. It's kind
of his dream Car's first car was a convertible years
and years ago, and you know now he wants it
on his bucket list. He's going to buy a new
one or used one. He wants to know what you
guys think of American convertibles or American car companies that
make convertibles, which one's better to get.

Speaker 7 (39:51):
I think they're both equal. I don't see a big difference.
I mean both the cars are impractical. Well, doesn't care
about yous. He can still move into Chris where they
the Challenger that had a convertible option back to twenty three.
If he's doing used, if he's doing used, so you
know you still have you know, so you.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
Would say, I mean, would you tell Jim whichever one
you like the best?

Speaker 6 (40:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (40:13):
And then if it shoes get a checked yes preference.

Speaker 7 (40:15):
It's there's nothing nothing about any one of them that's
better than the other or worse than the other.

Speaker 5 (40:19):
Hey, Jim, what was your first one when you were
a teenager?

Speaker 21 (40:24):
It was a nineteen fifty eighth Al Alpha Romeo?

Speaker 5 (40:29):
Oh wow, do they even And they still make Alpha Romeos,
don't they?

Speaker 6 (40:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (40:33):
Yeah, I think I've seen one in the parking lot here.

Speaker 21 (40:36):
I paid six hundred dollars for that car in nineteen
seventy two, and you can't put your hands on one
now for less than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
Oh that's incredible that much for real, highly collectable. And
these guys were telling me about a Mercedes they used
to make that would literally it be a hard top
and there were panels that would fold up into the trunk.
That sounded pretty cool. Yeah, that does.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
So.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
I mean basically they're saying I mean, really, guys, you're saying,
whatever one he likes, I mean, just get it checked out.

Speaker 6 (41:15):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (41:16):
Yeah, because they got to be extra cars because they're
not getting the winner.

Speaker 5 (41:19):
I didn't know Mustang. It's funny you said that every
Mustang I see is electric. I didn't even know they
made a gas powered one. Now well, less and less? Yeah,
you got any other questions, Jim.

Speaker 21 (41:31):
No, I appreciate it, thanks, guys.

Speaker 5 (41:33):
Yeah, I appreciate that too. I like I was taking
my first car. It was a seventy nine Granada. There's
no nostalgia there. I will never buy a nineteen seventy
nine Granada. What was your first Jeff?

Speaker 8 (41:45):
Uh My first car that I bought was a sixty
seven Mustang nice and I actually just sold that here
two years ago.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
Oh no kidding, you've had it since then. How much
you buy it for? Originally I bought it for twenty
five hundred that's a lot. And then when did you
buy what year?

Speaker 8 (42:00):
It was nineteen eighty eight?

Speaker 5 (42:02):
And then what'd you sell it for?

Speaker 24 (42:03):
Well?

Speaker 5 (42:04):
It was a project car. Now, so I sold it
for twenty five hundred. Oh okay, say you broke even
twenty five years later?

Speaker 8 (42:10):
Well, I think I have to go wash on the
That twenty five hundred doesn't go quite as far anymore.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
It doesn't go anywhere. No, that's like a twelve pack
of eggs and a Hamburger. That's it. And then what
was yours?

Speaker 6 (42:20):
Sixty nine Malibu?

Speaker 5 (42:22):
Malibu? Nice?

Speaker 6 (42:23):
And it was a convertible, which I would never do again.

Speaker 5 (42:25):
Didn't that have? Was that a five liter?

Speaker 6 (42:28):
Uh? Three or five? Yes? Three h seven?

Speaker 1 (42:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (42:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (42:31):
Yeah, those were pretty popular.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (42:33):
So far you guys beat the hell out of my
Granada DA.

Speaker 6 (42:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (42:36):
Now I had access to my parents' car before I
ended up getting the Granada. Sure, and that was a
Chevy Chavette, So there I was rolling.

Speaker 8 (42:47):
The one that I had access to was actually a
seventy four Vega. Yeah, four cylinder with a flat cam.
Nice controlling that car.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
You could not the Chrysler Town and Country Wagon.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
Oh, I thought you're gonna say minivan. I think. Did
it have the seats in the back, yeah, to face
the other wise faced the death seats. I remember my
uncle Mario had those, and me and my cousin Matt,
we'd be in the back, never thinking anything of it.
I never thought of huh what else? Figure rear ended,
My face would be gone.

Speaker 6 (43:16):
Well, let in the carbon monoxide you get in the
back window?

Speaker 5 (43:19):
Oh man, Yeah, there was all.

Speaker 6 (43:20):
Kinds of back then.

Speaker 5 (43:21):
It didn't matter because everybody smoked. So I mean you
just you basically secondhand smoked in the carp how about you,
Dimitri Mark?

Speaker 12 (43:29):
I have to respectfully decline to answer that question because
what was your first car is a very common security
question and online accounts.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
I'm sorry, black helicopters. Did you bring the tin foil?

Speaker 6 (43:42):
I forgot the foil today?

Speaker 5 (43:44):
Oh goodness, take a look at your accounts. What was
the name of your first pet? What did you grow
up on? What was your first car?

Speaker 7 (43:51):
Actually answer those questions correctly, correct.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
Question? There your question?

Speaker 6 (44:00):
You just answer, Lord, but then off.

Speaker 12 (44:05):
But then if I ever have to your home address, yeah,
that's another question.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
I'm appalled that you won't say on car Day what
your first car was for reason status? Oh my goodness,
can we get can we get a psychologist? So what
was the reason? Because he's afraid people are going to

(44:34):
hack into everything because one of his security questions for
like bank accounts and everything is what was your first car?

Speaker 12 (44:44):
Not just my security questions, it's a very it's probably
the most common of all security questions. So take a
look at what you filled out on your online access.
So all of you guys just gave up probably the
first security question on your credit cards, bank account, et cetera.

Speaker 8 (44:59):
Guarantee I didn't because they have an option on there
where you can create your own security question, and I
just write my own stuff in like what.

Ford F one fifty hybrid and basically it's saying, I'm
trying to find the entire article. Hold on here here.
It is super how brands stack up. Brands are ranked
average predictable reliability based on cr members. So the Ford one,

(47:14):
what they're saying is wrong with it, which is interesting
they're saying owners say there's a lot of problems with
the battery and the hybrid system, low reliability. And then
they also say Jeep Wrangler. I always saw Jeeps were
pretty strong. Now you guys see a lot of problems.

Speaker 8 (47:34):
Well, we've been seeing a lot of the Jeep products
with the clutches. They've actually got recalls on them because
they overheat.

Speaker 5 (47:40):
Jeep Grand Cherokee is another one, Nissan Frontier. What are
your thoughts on that one?

Speaker 6 (47:45):
Jeff?

Speaker 8 (47:45):
Just about anything in the nissanline right now, I don't
consider reliable garbage.

Speaker 5 (47:50):
How about Volkswagen Jetta.

Speaker 6 (47:52):
I don't know, do you pronounce it?

Speaker 8 (47:54):
Volkswagon just pronounced peace walking because that's all they do,
is they beat walking.

Speaker 5 (48:01):
Now, this thing says the top reliability. What do you
think number one is predicted reliability Numero Uno Toyota? Number
three is that would be Toyota Honja. This isn't fair
because number two, I'll tell you right now is Lexus,
same company, But okay, whatever. What do you think number
one is Honda? Nope, actually Honda's number four. Come on,

(48:25):
you guys here forgetting the ones generally they're women drivers
or he got that one well, because I have a
Super for ages, Yeah, I know a Super.

Speaker 16 (48:37):
Before I would drive into Super, I have to take
my pants off and put on the.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
Skirt Honda Acurra. I think Honda did something really smart
when they took Toyota and Honda's model of having their
normal than their upper scale car when they created Genesis.
Very smart to do. And then least on here is Rivian.
Rivian's an electric car. Let me see where Tesla is.
Tesla is number seventeen and Rivian's number twenty two, which

(49:04):
is where they end it. Cadillacs twenty one GMC is
actually twenty, that's pretty crazy. Hondi's ten, Kiya is nine,
which is crazy because Hondi and Kia are virtually the
same cars. Mazda is pretty high up there. You know
what's funny is all the Japanese stuff, all the Japanese stuff.

(49:29):
The first thing other than Japanese is Audi at number seven.
That's German, right BMW German. And then Kia and Hondi
are nine and ten. I'm sorry, Kia and Hondi are
next to each other, and that's pretty remarkable. What's what's
the one car you don't want to ever work.

Speaker 8 (49:47):
On SOB, Like, what do you turn a last time
you even got a call on a SOB?

Speaker 5 (49:52):
They haven't been around anymore. Well, they haven't gotten around,
but stories for a reason. Ford birt Jaguar, Jaguar, that's right.
So do they still make Jaguars and they're made by Ford?

Speaker 6 (50:03):
No? No, they're independent again.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Oh they're independent again, they're not. Chrysler used to do that.
Chrysler was owned by at one point, and then what
was the other big company that owned them? It was
like a bank or somebody by Fiat. What'd you say,
Kelly Damnlar.

Speaker 6 (50:22):
Chrysler has Mercedes and then Fiat.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
Fiat, jeez, Fiat. Who made the Midget? Was that a Fiat? Yeah?
The little midget car, a little team convertible. Oh, mg, midget,
that's right. What's the Fiat? Oh, the Fiat is a
tiny little.

Speaker 6 (50:38):
Thing like the five hundred and different ones like that.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
Yeah, back in the day, I mean those were everywhere
in Italy. I mean the little Mini Coopers, I mean
that with a with actually, but it was a car
with four wheels. Yeah, that's crazy. The Fia actually, the
little mild they have it.

Speaker 16 (50:53):
I don't know about the liability, But it looks pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
Hey, Rick, what's your comment on cars.

Speaker 24 (51:02):
The convertibles? I was living in out Past, Texas. I
was in the Army, and they always had dust on
the floor.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
Yeah, that would make sense if it was I bet
if it was snow and they had snow on the floor. Huh.

Speaker 24 (51:24):
Well, it never snow within ol Pastle, Texas.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
Yeah, good point. Good point. Actually, it is kind of funny.
Why would you anywhere where there's a lot of dust
and stuff? I mean, think of Oklahoma. Actually I lived
there for I don't really remember seeing convertibles there. Did
you ever own a convertible?

Speaker 21 (51:43):
Rick?

Speaker 24 (51:45):
Yeah, that's how I was saying those I own the
sixty three How the soldiers? How poor folk? But my
first one was the sixty three Ford Mustang. Sorry nice,
but my first car was sixty seven Chevy and Paula.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
What do you drive now?

Speaker 24 (52:09):
I paid one hundred bucks for.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
Oh man, that's that's before Biden. Yeah, what what do
you drive now?

Speaker 24 (52:21):
Seventy six?

Speaker 5 (52:22):
What do you drive now?

Speaker 23 (52:24):
The Dodge Caravan?

Speaker 24 (52:27):
Now we buy vans?

Speaker 5 (52:29):
Why why do you buy vans now?

Speaker 24 (52:32):
So we don't have squat the gate in them?

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Oh? I gotcha? How old are you older.

Speaker 24 (52:40):
Sixty nine?

Speaker 5 (52:41):
And how many cars would you guess you've had in
your lifetime?

Speaker 24 (52:46):
I didn't pay more than a thousand bucks for and
I had maybe twenty.

Speaker 5 (52:51):
What was your favorite out of all of them?

Speaker 24 (52:58):
I think I'll I like the jeeps cheap, the jeep caravan.
We had two or three of them.

Speaker 16 (53:06):
We loved them.

Speaker 24 (53:08):
All right, we can go up in the mountain with him.

Speaker 5 (53:11):
Well, very cool, Rick, I appreciate your comment on that.

Speaker 25 (53:14):
Man.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
You have a good weekend, all right, brother, they you too,
Thank you, sir. Three o three seven one three eight
two five five Confucius? What do you have to say, Confucius?

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (53:27):
Hello, hello sir?

Speaker 26 (53:29):
Your life beyond the scene I have to do with
the ballerina. Would I work down there?

Speaker 5 (53:38):
You work at ballerina?

Speaker 6 (53:40):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (53:41):
What do you do at ballerina?

Speaker 26 (53:44):
I worked in the concessions?

Speaker 5 (53:45):
Was it did the Nuggets play there? Last night? They did?
Was it bad?

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Ass?

Speaker 5 (53:50):
Let were you there last night? Was it insane?

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (53:55):
It were?

Speaker 26 (53:58):
They got to be pretty wild and stuff.

Speaker 5 (54:00):
I bet it was. So you weren't concessions there? What
is your comment on them?

Speaker 22 (54:05):
Well, basically what they did is it has to do
with the the uh not giving out unless the people
ask for either a lid or.

Speaker 26 (54:17):
A straw for their drinks. Yeah, they have to ask first,
otherwise we don't give them out.

Speaker 5 (54:23):
Hold on, that is curious. I got to take this break.
I'm trying to think if I own like a convenience store.
I mean, I'm trying to think of something similar. I mean,
I could see how it could save money. I'm curious,
So why it bothers, Confucius?

(55:18):

Speaker 5 (55:21):
I've got to hear this. So Confucius works at ball Arena.
Am I the only one that always thinks of it
as Pepsi center. I know that's not right if I
owned a company and basically with spending all the money,
but god, it'll always be Pepsi Center to me. But
go ahead, Confucius. You work there, you work in concessions.
And I never thought of this before. When you buy

(55:41):
like a soda pop and you get it, they just
hand you it and they won't give you a straw
or a lid unless you ask for it. I'm sure
that's because they're trying to save money or they're trying
to save the earth. But well, let's see what that's.
I'm just guessing.

Speaker 25 (55:57):
Go ahead, that's what it is.

Speaker 26 (56:00):
They're trying to save I think basically the earth.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
You know what, Confucius, I get you, but I want
to say something that we're going to bring in a
recycler to this. But actually, before I talk, I want
to hear. I want you to continue. Go ahead. So
that's why they do it. But what's your problem with it?

Speaker 26 (56:23):
Oh, I have nothing to do with it. I just
give it to them no matter what.

Speaker 5 (56:27):
Yeah, but why are you calling about it? It must
irritate you.

Speaker 26 (56:32):
Well, it's there. They're just coming down on. They're also
trying to save product, and the ballerina is saying there's
too much trish around there and too much letter and stuff.

Speaker 5 (56:44):
So they're saying it's overhead. So they're really not doing
it because it's green, right.

Speaker 26 (56:51):
I think they're doing it just because they're holding back
on Both are just doing, you know, recycling for themselves.

Speaker 5 (56:58):
And they're saying, I think, listen, that's just.

Speaker 26 (57:02):
To do with legends. It has to do with been
trying to recycling all.

Speaker 5 (57:07):
That, but you don't. But I'm still trying to get
to why you're calling about it. Though it drives you
nuts that you just can't put a lid and a
straw in it.

Speaker 26 (57:15):
Yeah, okay, a lot of people, a lot of the
employees think it's kind of crazy. That it is crazy.

Speaker 5 (57:23):
Then if some nut next to me spills it on me,
I'm not happy. I know. I promise thee I'm going
to give you so much. He is so perched it's crazy.
But I want to say this about it. I think
it's purely to save money. It's less straws, less lids.
Granted that's not a lot of money. I don't think
it has anything to do with being green. Although I
think the PEPSI, although I think ball Arena would tell

(57:46):
you that they are doing it for the environment. I
related to this. These hotels you go to. We just
went to one in Nashville, Virgin Hotel, beautiful hotel. But
unless you tell them you want your bed made every
day and new towels every day, they won't do it
because it's not good for the earth. They won't change

(58:08):
your linens out because it's not good for the earth.
I call bs on it. They do it to save money.
It's got nothing to do with being green. My god,
that guy owns an airline. There's nothing is there's nothing
not green compared to Virgin Airlines. But yet his hotels,
his damn hotels, that they want to change out your
towels every three days.

Speaker 19 (58:30):
So I worked in a hotel for eight years, man,
I tell you that it is a total misnomer.

Speaker 5 (58:36):
They're not doing that.

Speaker 19 (58:38):
It's because people seal the towels and sealed it and
you have to buy towels.

Speaker 5 (58:43):
What hotel did you work at, Adam's Mark? Adam's Mark said,
a nice hotel. I've never heard of it. A nice motel.

Speaker 19 (58:50):
Six Well, no, it's now the Sheridan.

Speaker 5 (58:53):
See here's what I'd say. Here's the thing, Here's what
I the towels. Who the hell steals towels? Kelly, have
have you ever stolen the towel?

Speaker 19 (59:02):
I have not, but I'm not going to say that.
I'm not married to someone who has.

Speaker 5 (59:08):
Oh my god, have you guys literally ever stolen Who
the hell wants a hotel towel? Now you go to
the Waldorf some nice towels, but you're not going to
steal a towel. Who the hell's going to steal a towel?
It's Carlton beautiful towels.

Speaker 19 (59:21):
You know that kind of stuff.

Speaker 5 (59:23):
Like I said, I best Western. I imagine stealing a
Motel six washcloth. Let me tell you, if you're at
the point in your life where you steal a Motel
six washcloth, you are one step away from being homeless.
Con I'm going to put you on hold now. I
want to ask Dmitri two things. And here's why you're

(59:45):
in the recycling business. I am so Number one. I
don't understand this. Ballerina. Hey, I'm sorry. Oh I thought
he was flashing me saying I got a break. Ballerina
now uses those metal clop I love them. And I
think they keep things colder, and I'll let you do that.
But the second thing is what do you think of

(01:00:07):
the metal cups there? Just being a recycler. I know
you primarily do cardboard, but you know the whole game.
You know the whole game. And then what do you
think about what he's saying when it comes to the
lid and straws? Just just spill it.

Speaker 12 (01:00:21):
Well, Mark, if i'd just say it correctly, Confucius say,
if man wants straw, he must ask for it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:28):
Yes, and lid and lid.

Speaker 12 (01:00:30):
Now it turns out that it's not ball Arena maximizing
their profit on concession sales. There's a Denver City ordinance
that went in effect in January of twenty two. Of
course there was, and they address single use items in
the context of food service. Yes, but only only in
what catchup packets.

Speaker 5 (01:00:49):
No, no, no, But I'm saying, hold on, Demitri, I
don't understand. They must have carved out everything in the world,
because if I go to McDonald's, the lids are right there.
If I go to seven eleven, the lids are right there.

Speaker 12 (01:01:00):
Why they're right there if the vendor provides you with
a lid or a catch a packet or a straw
or a napkin. They have to wait for you to
ask for that. Not at Denver, they're not allowed to
provide single use items by ordinance.

Speaker 5 (01:01:17):
Well, in customer, I don't understand what you're saying. If
I go to a McDonald's in Denver, I have to
ask for a lid going through the drive through for
a soda.

Speaker 12 (01:01:25):
Yes, unless unless they violate the ordinance, which I suspect
almost everybody does. But it's a single use item and
they're required to wait for you to ask for it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:37):
There is no way if I go through a drive through. Now,
first of all, there's no way, Dmitri, There's no way
this can be correct. Listen to this. I'm reading directly
from the City of Denver website. They must have carved
out every drive.

Speaker 12 (01:01:49):
For all retail food establishments to provide single use condiments
and single use service war only upon request by a
custom So.

Speaker 5 (01:02:00):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute. I go through what's
one of the fast food Chinese places that's got to
drive through? Give me something here, guys Express, Panda Express,
and I order the chop suey they're gonna hand me.
They're gonna hand MEU.

Speaker 12 (01:02:19):
Guy chop suey is like macaroni and beat sauce.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
Just whatever I order, whatever it is, and you're not
gonna get it. They're not gonna give me silverware. And
I order a coke, They're gonna hand me a coke
with no lid, no straw, just a coke. They're gonna
hand me Chinese food, whatever it is. Let's say beef
with broccoli. So my beef with broccoli doesn't come with
utensils because I got to ask for utensils and a napkin.

Speaker 12 (01:02:47):
Well, uh, you ask two questions. Actually will they do
it or are they allowed to do it?

Speaker 13 (01:02:52):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:02:53):
Is there anyone in the world, because if I open
my bag up and there was no way for me
to eat, you're gonna go ballistic. Somebody's gonna be wearing
that chops. I think I think you're taking they give
you that stuff. You're violating whatever you're reading wrongly, you're
taking it wrongly. Hold, let's get the city on the

have anything else you wanted to say? Or are you good?

Speaker 6 (01:04:40):
Brother?

Speaker 26 (01:04:41):
Well, I want to say that I believe that maybe
some of the customers also want Liz, because you never
know what somebody else could drop, dropping a look in
the cup.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
Yeah, we were in Nashville, Confucius. I was in Nashville
for a Metallica concert with some listeners and friends. There
was like fourteen of us and we went to kid
Rocks bar there, which is like four stories, and we're
all pretty sure one of the gals got a roof feed. Now,
she was with the group the whole time, but she
wasn't drinking much. She couldn't basically, she couldn't walk. It

(01:05:17):
was pretty scary stuff. Honestly, she was fine and she
didn't have like a hangover in the morning, none of
the signs of drinking too much. And you're absolutely right, man.
If that's an open cup, people can throw a little
pill or a little thing in there and it dissolves
and you have no idea. Good good point, man, good point, Confucius. Hey,

(01:05:39):
is it true you really said all those quotes we read?

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Excuse me?

Speaker 5 (01:05:46):
Is it true? You always. You are the one that
said all those quotes we read, you know, Confucius say,
is that you?

Speaker 26 (01:05:55):
Well, I just kind of threw that name man, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:05:57):
Oh okay, hey, you have a good day, man, I
appreciate it. Keep up the good work there too, I
will say the concessions there. You guys do move people
through the line pretty good. And you get to actually
check the game out too, right.

Speaker 26 (01:06:12):
Well, somewhat we're not allowed to inside the ball or
inside the ball, and that inside the arena itself anymore.
To cut that out.

Speaker 5 (01:06:20):
Oh that's such. You can't walk in there and peak,
not like they were used to. Oh man, hey, man,
I really do. I do appreciate I got a free
up there. Three oh three seven, one, three, eight, two
five five two lines. I want them full three oh
three Martino, you've been ripped off. The big dog's about
to step in and go after the bad guys. Hey, Greg,

(01:06:41):
what is going on with this supercharger?

Speaker 13 (01:06:44):
Right?

Speaker 27 (01:06:45):
I just had a general question. The guys have said
the turbo chargers reduced the lifespan of an engine, and
I was wondering if superchargers are as bad as turbo chargers.

Speaker 5 (01:06:59):
Guys, And then one of you tell me last week
or the week before. There's a car now that starts
off with the supercharger and has a turbo land the
land Rover. Yeah, that's incredible.

Speaker 7 (01:07:11):
An electric supercharger that kicks out when the turbo kicks in.

Speaker 5 (01:07:15):
So explain, explain the wear and tear on engines. Does
it matter? Go ahead?

Speaker 7 (01:07:21):
You know, I think it does. They both do the
same thing where it's just the over overperformance of an
engine that's not designed to do what it's doing. You know,
So does it work, yes, but it's like a race car.
They tear those down and rebuild them after.

Speaker 5 (01:07:33):
A lot of these.

Speaker 16 (01:07:35):
Could you tell us that it.

Speaker 7 (01:07:36):
Compresses air and just just you know, a fat or
mixture if you will.

Speaker 6 (01:07:40):
It's just for dens.

Speaker 5 (01:07:41):
They're generally belt driven, right or something they're driven.

Speaker 8 (01:07:45):
There's traditional ones, a belt driven out a supercharger. You know,
it gives you power off the line.

Speaker 5 (01:07:50):
Yeah, and then the turbo when you're moving exactly because
the turbo they really do the exact same thing. They
shove more air into the engine and but it when
you're just sitting there, turbo is going to do nothing
because there's no air covering there's.

Speaker 6 (01:08:02):
No air comings because they usual the exhaust to do it.

Speaker 5 (01:08:05):
So that land rower, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (01:08:07):
Yep. I couldn't imagine want to work on one of
those stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:08:09):
No I could. It's just another thing to break, but
it's got to be. It's got to be pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (01:08:13):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:08:14):
The other thing, Greg, is my RXA. I'm going to
give you a perfect example of where I wish I
had a supercharger. That thing could get up to one
hundred and fifty plus. The top end was great, but
the bottom end going off. Man, that little wankle you
could rev up, but man, it's not a fast car.
Off the bat, that thing could go forever. In fact,

(01:08:35):
if there wasn't a governor on it, I'm not sure
you could break that thing. How about these diesels though,
I think without a turbo charger or a supercharger, these
things wouldn't even move.

Speaker 6 (01:08:47):
No, you need them.

Speaker 5 (01:08:48):
So for a diesel you have to have one.

Speaker 6 (01:08:51):
Oh that's designed for it?

Speaker 7 (01:08:53):
No, I get yeah, these I think they're putting on
engines that are really not designed.

Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
Great, you got to you got any questions? No?

Speaker 27 (01:09:01):
No, Well, it's just at altitude you lose what ten
percent of your power with a regularly aspirated engine.

Speaker 5 (01:09:09):
That's why I'm asking me question. You know, he brings
something up too. When I was shopping for a little
Enduro motorcycle, I bought a little two fifty I think
is Suzuki. I forget what brand I bought, but they
had two different ones at the time. One of them
had a carburetor, this only a few years ago, and
then the other one was fuel injection. And the guy

(01:09:30):
up at fay Myers was like, Nope, you definitely want
to fuel injection if you're going up into the mountains
a lot. He says, we can tune the carb for
down here, but when you go up into the mountains
or when you go down to sea level, you're gonna
have problems where the fuel injection does it automatically? Listen,
big dog Martino coming up, one line open get in

(01:09:51):

Speaker 13 (01:10:50):
No Tom Martine, Hey Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show.
Three oh three seven to one three talks seven one
three eight two five five. So happy to be with you.
I thank god I'm with you. And as many of
you know that you know. I came out of cancer

(01:11:11):
surgery April twenty eighth, pancreatic cancer, and in a very
rare turn of events for pancreatic cancer, I'm one of
the three percenters cancer free. Won't follow up visit yesterday
confirmed that all came out negative. Surrounding areas what they
call Deputy doc asked me about the pathology. Even though

(01:11:34):
they do pathology during surgery, they send it away to
another lab to confirm the findings. And deputy doc you
had asked about that and they came back one hundred
percent cancer free.

Speaker 5 (01:11:46):
So that's amazing.

Speaker 28 (01:11:47):
I thank God for that.

Speaker 13 (01:11:50):
I mean, this is yeah, thank you. This is a
big deal for me. And man, am I happy to
be here. This is my life. I love doing this
and so thank you. And as I said, I don't
want to belabor each show, but I just want to
acknowledge the well wishers. I've gotten tons and tons of
text and emails and I really appreciate it.

Speaker 28 (01:12:07):
And I'm healing fine. I mean, I'm doing great.

Speaker 13 (01:12:10):
It's the most invasive surgery known demand called the Whipple procedure.
So you know, twenty five percent of my stomach's gone,
twenty percent of my pancreas. I'm not diabetic. The part
of the pancreas they took had nothing to do with
the insulin making cells, so I escape that too. And
it looks like aside from some follow up radiation and chemo,

(01:12:35):
then I'll be back to my normal routines. But that's
going to be coming up in the next few weeks,
next few months. But as I said, look, I couldn't
have asked for a better outcome. My heart goes out
to all of those people, all of you who have diagnoses.
If you ever want support and want to know what's
going on, I'm serious.

hope he didn't get hurt. Linda, what's happening with you?

Speaker 28 (01:13:48):
Linda?

Speaker 11 (01:13:50):
Yes, sir, come congratulations. By the way, my family is
thrilled that you're doing so well.

Speaker 20 (01:13:55):
God bless you.

Speaker 25 (01:13:57):
Thank you, Chickley.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
I have to thank you.

Speaker 11 (01:14:00):
I've saved a little bit of money back when I
pass I would have passed it on to my family.
I would like to know what I should do now
while I'm still on the earth, to protect it so
they won't have to pay taxes or be his with
whatever could come.

Speaker 13 (01:14:16):
Yes, legally, okay, okay, Linda. First of all, how old
are you?

Speaker 11 (01:14:21):
Seventy four?

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
Sure?

Speaker 13 (01:14:23):
Seventy four? Okay? And what about the money? How much
do you have in total assets and cash and everything
to the positives?

Speaker 25 (01:14:33):
Yes, it's about four hundred thousand.

Speaker 5 (01:14:36):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (01:14:37):
Now let me give you some good news. They won't
have to pay taxes on any of it. You can
leave millions and millions of dollars without any estate tax.
It's called an exclusion, and you're well under it and
likely you're not going to reach I believe it's now
sixteen million.

Speaker 5 (01:14:59):
Here's the bottom line.

Speaker 13 (01:15:00):
You have nothing to do except protect that four hundred k.
What form is that four hundred thousand dollars taking? Is
it cash property? Tell me about the four hundred k?
Break it down?

Speaker 11 (01:15:14):
Is it a managed to counselor by fidelity?

Speaker 5 (01:15:19):
Okay?

Speaker 13 (01:15:20):
Now, one thing I do want to tell you one thing.
I do want to tell you, and I want to
give you a disclosure. As you know, I have a
wealth management company and I do not want you ever
to think I'm trying to steer you to my company.

Speaker 28 (01:15:33):
But I will tell you this.

Speaker 13 (01:15:34):
Your account is not managed at Fidelity. It is there,
and they tell you it's managed, but it's not. They
don't know Linda from a hole in the wall. They
don't know what you want, what your goals are, what
your long term Did they ever consult with you on anything?

Speaker 11 (01:15:53):
Well, twice a year we have a meeting. Sure, my
husband passed to it myself.

Speaker 28 (01:15:59):
Now, no, that's okay, Linda.

Speaker 13 (01:16:02):
I suggest that you get someone who who personally personally
takes care of your account for you with you. Now
listen again. I don't want to brag, but I think
we're one of the few firms that really do that.
But if you can find someone will who will take
Linda and they take Linda's account and say, Okay, Linda

(01:16:26):
needs some of this, some of this, She needs it.

Speaker 28 (01:16:28):
She wants it to go.

Speaker 5 (01:16:28):
To her heirs.

Speaker 28 (01:16:29):
Here's what she wants to do.

Speaker 13 (01:16:31):
These fidelities and Edward Jones and all these big firms,
they don't manage money for people. People think they're managed.
They are managed in giant portfolios, and they put you
in a group of people that meet your criteria. I'm
not telling you they're not they're bad. They're not bad.

(01:16:51):
They just don't give you that personal level of service.
So if I were you and I had four hundred
thousand dollars, how much of that is in home equity?

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
Nine?

Speaker 13 (01:17:04):
Okay, so that four hundred k is liquid and you
have it managed right now? I think you really do
have to have it managed. And what I would suggest
for you right now at seventy four is you want
to be a bit more conservative, not totally, but you
have time to let that grow. And there. How are

(01:17:24):
you doing for income yourself? Will you need this four
hundred thousand?

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:17:30):
No, no, I will not. So I'm still working, So
and Tom. That only confidentally came through because I was
a banker for twenty five years, so I kind of
scrolled away.

Speaker 26 (01:17:40):
Okay a little bit, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:17:43):
Okay, So now.

Speaker 13 (01:17:44):
What I suggest Wave eight wealth Management.

Speaker 28 (01:17:48):
Now here's what I want to tell you.

Speaker 13 (01:17:50):
What we would do with that four hundred thousand, depending
on your risk tolerance and your age.

Speaker 5 (01:17:54):
We would probably put it into.

Speaker 13 (01:17:56):
Some moderate ETF exchange traded funds which have a variety
which kind of follow a stock market index. But we
would also probably get you some growth without a lot
of risk. And then we would set up beneficiaries to
bypass your estate to go to whatever airs you want,

(01:18:17):
and we would hook you up. See, we take care
of the whole thing. But again, I'm.

Speaker 28 (01:18:21):
Not telling you you'd need us.

Speaker 5 (01:18:22):
I promise you.

Speaker 13 (01:18:23):
I don't want to ever turn the show into a
but but what I'm saying is, no matter what, no
matter what, we would I'd love to see what Fidelity
is doing for you. And who knows, it might be
really good. I mean, are you getting growth every year?

Speaker 20 (01:18:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:18:42):
Yeah, but you know there's always okay.

Speaker 13 (01:18:47):
Well, I'll tell you what we would be happy, happy
to go over what you're doing. And again, it's not
difficult in your situation. Yours is very simple. You have
a lump of money you want to save, you want
to preserve, and that's easy, that's really easy to do.
We can get you good growth and say and and
and principal protection. But the main part of your question

(01:19:10):
about taxes, The good news is Linda, you don't have
to worry about any taxes on that. Do you have
a will?

Speaker 11 (01:19:18):
Of course, yes, sir, okay, and.

Speaker 13 (01:19:22):
Do you name did you name your When was the
last time you checked your will and updated it?

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:19:27):
What my husband died last year, tom, so I had
it redone just in my name of good excellent.

Speaker 13 (01:19:34):
So here's what you can do if you want to
have a free review of what's going on.

Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
And I promise you.

Speaker 13 (01:19:41):
You know, you can call us and call three oh
three seven seven to one help and we'll arrange zoom

an easy situation, Linda, you did very well. By the way,

(01:20:01):
before you invest money, do you have high interest det?

Speaker 26 (01:20:05):
No?

Speaker 25 (01:20:06):
No?

Speaker 15 (01:20:07):
Sure?

Speaker 5 (01:20:07):
Good?

Speaker 13 (01:20:08):
No good, because I tell people before you invest anything,
you want to make sure you have an emergency fund
and that you don't have high interest DET. You're in
good shape, Linda. What you say you're still working at
seventy four?

But thank you, Rick.

Speaker 13 (01:22:42):
I know what you're I know what you mean, and
I appreciate the thought. So fuel additives do you use them?

Speaker 1 (01:22:49):
Right?

Speaker 23 (01:22:50):
Yeah? Well that's my question Uncle Kevin. So yeah, Kevin,
have you heard of h G S Bible five CRS.

Speaker 15 (01:23:01):
C R S.

Speaker 6 (01:23:03):
C RF.

Speaker 23 (01:23:05):
It isn't flag.

Speaker 6 (01:23:06):
I haven't.

Speaker 23 (01:23:07):
Okay, it's out of a Elbuquerque of a laboratory in Elbuquerque.
I saw it on a Scott Kilmer video on YouTube.
Supposedly it's a little bit even better than BG products.
I know your place over there on Colfax.

Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
Uses a BG.

Speaker 6 (01:23:25):
Yeah we do, can we do?

Speaker 7 (01:23:26):
And there's a lot a lot of good additives that
are coming out and they're changing all the time. Yeah,
so it's kind of hard to keep up with who's
you know, which one's snake all, which one's not. But
you know that one's very expensive from what I understand.

Speaker 16 (01:23:38):
Yes it is.

Speaker 23 (01:23:39):
It's about forty eight to fifty dollars for the container yep.

Speaker 28 (01:23:45):
And what is the container good for? How many fill ups?

Speaker 23 (01:23:49):
Uh? Well, I supposely from what I've read, something like
ten to twenty thousand miles.

Speaker 7 (01:23:57):
Well it goes in one, thankful, I think, is what
it is. So it's fifty bucks an application.

Speaker 23 (01:24:03):
Oh oh in that regard, Yeah, yes, yeah, just like.

Speaker 13 (01:24:07):
Man, that's expensive, an extra fifty dollars for a tank.
Do you do it every tank full or you do
it once a month or once a year?

Speaker 5 (01:24:14):
What is it?

Speaker 6 (01:24:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:24:16):
I'm not good, I'm not that familiar with the I
did read somewhere whereas like ten to twenty thousand miles
every ten to twenty thousand miles, they're supposed to do
a superior job with getting the carbon offer. So my
other question is this, Kevin, is I just had an
oil change done. I have a two ten malabu or
cylinder YEP. It has one hundred and ninety two thousand

(01:24:38):
miles on it. I have put I've owned the car
brand new. I put nothing but top tier Costco gas
in it. Change the oil everywhere eye from five to
seven thousand miles for the life of the car. And
they were recommended that I put the MLA in it.

Speaker 6 (01:24:55):
But I get it, it could never hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
Well, I get it.

Speaker 23 (01:24:59):
That's another problem motive, and I don't really have a
problem with that part of it. But I had been
keeping up on this car ever since I bought it,
and I kept thinking, I don't think I actually even
need the MOA.

Speaker 7 (01:25:11):
Not at this point. I think you've been doing just
fine without it. So why you know why sweits now?

Speaker 6 (01:25:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:25:16):
Okay, Well that was one of the other questions that
I had that.

Speaker 13 (01:25:19):
In general, Kevin, Kevin and Jeff in general in general,
let me just ask, how do you feel about oil
additives and gas additives in general?

Speaker 6 (01:25:30):
In general?

Speaker 7 (01:25:30):
I just think, you know, the generic ones that you
just see for ninety nine cents, you know at the
walmarts and places are garbage. You know, a good quality additive,
I'm all for them. It's just extra layer of protection.
Why not you know an engine?

Speaker 5 (01:25:44):
What do they do well?

Speaker 6 (01:25:45):
The super lub what do they do? Like?

Speaker 7 (01:25:47):
The MOA is a super lubricant and it keeps from
you know, edge of sledge from forming and everything. You know,
common engine Now it's fifteen grand, you know, a ten
dollars bottle, you know, and every other world change is
cheap insurance for an engine.

Speaker 13 (01:26:01):
And do you like oil additives better or gasoline additives?

Speaker 7 (01:26:06):
Oil more than anything? Because I think the oil takes
a beating. There's a lot of good gasolines out there.
I think keep thinks pretty clean. So I tend okay,
so speak to the oil and not so much on
the field.

Speaker 13 (01:26:17):
So how much would a good additive add to every
oil change?

Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
Twelve to fifteen bucks?

Speaker 5 (01:26:25):
And you say it's well worth it? I think it is, yes, okay, Rick?

Speaker 13 (01:26:30):
Any other questions?

Speaker 23 (01:26:32):
No, that was basically it. Thank you so much, Tom,
and I wish you thanks help.

Speaker 28 (01:26:38):
Thank you man, I appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (01:26:40):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (01:26:40):
So the bottom line is this, if you have a
car that's new and you do it from new, is
it better or does it give better protection than if
you get a used car and start using it. How
do you guys feel about that?

Speaker 6 (01:27:01):
Well?

Speaker 8 (01:27:01):
I would say certainly if you start from the beginning
use it, you know, trying to keep it healthy at
the beginning. You know, if a used car, whether it's
your used car or you know when you picked up used,
you don't know how that thing was treated. So you know,
giving it the most TLC, you cans everything you can
do to help keep it on the road.

Speaker 13 (01:27:16):
But is there any truth to I heard some people
say if you use a good additive after the cars
has several miles on it and a car that you
buy used, you could be actually hurting the car because
it gets rid of all that and it gets it
and you know what I'm saying, it cuts loose some

(01:27:37):
of that stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:27:38):
Is that truly?

Speaker 8 (01:27:38):
And BG even makes you know, like an engine restore,
but you know it both for you know, gasoline and diesels,
because that stuff is going to build up that sludge
and it's going to start clogging up rings and everything else,
and you want to break that stuff free and get
it out of there and get more optimal performance.

Speaker 13 (01:27:55):
Could they actually have have Do they actually have studies that,
oh it really does work?

Speaker 28 (01:28:01):
Have you guys ever seen studies they have?

Speaker 6 (01:28:04):
They have an extensive amount of studies. Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:28:06):
Yeah, they've been around for a long long time, at
least thirty thirty five years, So they're not well.

Speaker 28 (01:28:12):
In fact, if you well, it's the only thing I get.

Speaker 13 (01:28:15):
Every single mechanic I've ever talked to agrees Yep, that
BG has the best products.

Speaker 7 (01:28:20):
Yeah, they're consistent and they work. Then there's no snake oil.
It's just all quality stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:28:25):
If you had to pick, if you had to pick
a label second to BG, what would it be.

Speaker 6 (01:28:31):
I've been stuck with BG so long. I haven't haven't.
I don't have a plan B.

Speaker 13 (01:28:38):
Now, BG makes fuel additives, oil additives, cooling.

Speaker 28 (01:28:43):
What else do they have anything for the cooling system?

Speaker 6 (01:28:46):
Yep? Para steering everything.

Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
Yeah, wow.

Speaker 13 (01:28:51):

I've been to their office five times. I went to
Apple in Denver five times, and they even.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Apple exchanged it for me. Still doesn't work.

Speaker 13 (01:30:47):
And tell me what part doesn't work? Tell me what
the problem is.

Speaker 14 (01:30:52):

voice gets cut off in and out. They keep the

hear you.

Speaker 1 (01:31:47):
This.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
Ten R and it was okay.

Speaker 14 (01:31:55):
But I lost my husband a few months ago, and
I thought I should get.

Speaker 2 (01:32:01):
A new phone, you know, dealing with everything.

Speaker 14 (01:32:04):
And unfortunately, yeah, unfortunately it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):

I live with my sister and she has an iPhone
that she bought three years ago? Is they call it

Speaker 13 (01:32:26):
With this she does she have T Mobile? Does she
have T Mobile?

Speaker 2 (01:32:32):
Yes, we both live and you know we live together.

Speaker 14 (01:32:36):
She's using the same network and she has no problem
at all. But with my phone, as I said, even
Apple exchanged it once.

Speaker 2 (01:32:46):
But it doesn't work.

Speaker 13 (01:32:49):
See that's what makes me feel like it might not
be where are you trying to?

Speaker 18 (01:32:54):
It might not be the phone trying to use it
at home? So you're on a Wi Fi network, so
maybe the Wi Fi network is down, so you were
lying become to.

Speaker 14 (01:33:02):
Wi Fi network works for my sister who lives with me,
but not for me. How come the Wi Fi system
I had.

Speaker 18 (01:33:12):
You've got the proper Wi Fi network and password?

Speaker 14 (01:33:16):
Yes everything?

Speaker 25 (01:33:17):
You know?

Speaker 13 (01:33:18):
Where tell me this? Where are you located? I don't
want your address? But an Aurora?

Speaker 5 (01:33:25):
Okay?

Speaker 14 (01:33:26):
Across from Cherry Cherry Creek State Park.

Speaker 13 (01:33:30):
Okay, when you take when you take your phone out
around the metro area, does it improve in any areas?

Speaker 14 (01:33:41):
When I go to, for instance, Park Meadow, I go
there for shopping. Sometimes Park Meadow, I have the same problem.

Speaker 13 (01:33:50):
Honestly, does it ever work? Does it ever work perfectly anywhere?

Speaker 14 (01:33:56):
No, not that I know of.

Speaker 16 (01:34:00):
I have a question, Mariam, now that when you went
to the Apple store, did you try see if it
works there?

Speaker 14 (01:34:09):
Well? They what do you call it? They work with
it a little bit diagnosed. What do they call their service?

Speaker 2 (01:34:17):
Diagnostic service?

Speaker 14 (01:34:19):
And it works there and they say it's fine, And
when I come home it doesn't work. They even at
Apple Cherry Creek Mall they.

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
Exchanged it for me.

Speaker 14 (01:34:29):
That was kind of them, But then it's the same thing.

Speaker 13 (01:34:33):
I think even I don't think Mariam, there's nothing technically
that would explain this.

Speaker 14 (01:34:41):
See I'm sorry to interrupt you. I apologize this. It
is a T mobile store in Park Meadows. Said we
had some problem with.

Speaker 9 (01:34:54):
Them, Yeah, but they exchanged it.

Speaker 13 (01:34:58):
It doesn't make sense that you would have problems like this. Well,
it doesn't matter who exchanged it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
I go, well, they fixed. I come home, it doesn't work, Mariam.

Speaker 6 (01:35:10):
Have you asked him?

Speaker 12 (01:35:10):
Have you checked to see if they'll switch you out
into a totally different kind of phone?

Speaker 14 (01:35:14):
I ask I. Even I'm willing to pay more for
Apple Pro.

Speaker 18 (01:35:20):
Sixteen, maybe that won't help versus an Apple phone.

Speaker 13 (01:35:25):
I listen, guys, I think there's something in the settings
or something.

Speaker 5 (01:35:31):
It's it's just not logical.

Speaker 14 (01:35:34):
Missus Martinez. They even put in a new SIM card.

Speaker 28 (01:35:39):
And yeah, that I don't think.

Speaker 13 (01:35:42):
I don't think it's the phone, Mariam, I don't think
it's the phone.

Speaker 14 (01:35:46):
But how come I it's Wi Fi?

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Would the network is bad?

Speaker 14 (01:35:51):
How come my sister works with Apple Phone so well?

Speaker 13 (01:35:56):
I didn't say the network was bad. I'm just I
don't think it's the phone. They gave you a new phone,
they gave you a new SIM card. I mean, why
would the same problem persist. It's not the phone. Well,
it's not the phone. It's logical. You're not going to
have the same exact problems with two phones, especially with

(01:36:16):
a new SIM card. It's logical.

Speaker 28 (01:36:18):
It's not the phone.

Speaker 13 (01:36:20):
We know that iPhone sixteen's are not defective.

Speaker 28 (01:36:25):
They're not.

Speaker 13 (01:36:26):
It's not the phone you have to start looking at
the service. And it is very possible that your service,
that your sister service is a level down from yours,
or yours is trying to connect?

Speaker 28 (01:36:39):
Is yours?

Speaker 5 (01:36:39):
What is yours? Five G?

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
What do you mean to level down?

Speaker 6 (01:36:45):
Okay?

Speaker 13 (01:36:45):
What I mean is this, some older phones will talk
to the network easier than the newer phones, or the
network might be Oh god, I can tell you that
if you've gotten two phones in a row, it's not
the phone.

Speaker 28 (01:37:00):
It's just not.

Speaker 17 (01:37:04):
Does anyone it doesn't work?

Speaker 5 (01:37:06):
Can anyone?

Speaker 14 (01:37:08):
Can anyone hundred dollars getting a phone does not work?

Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
And I'll be okay with it. Nobody is it's.

Speaker 5 (01:37:15):
Been full You're right.

Speaker 18 (01:37:18):
Five months. The phone fine in the store. So something
is wrong in your home. So you're not connected to
something in your home?

Speaker 13 (01:37:27):
I eat, no, no, no, she said. It doesn't work
at Park Meadows either, Mariam. Does it ever work anywhere?
Does it ever work anywhere?

Speaker 14 (01:37:40):
Mister Martinez, you have in the past have helped me,
and I'm very grateful to you. It never worked anywhere.

Speaker 18 (01:37:49):
You took it to the store. It worked fine in
the store. The Apple people.

Speaker 13 (01:37:52):
Hey, guys, guys, I think we need someone to visit her.
I really mean this, I really do.

Speaker 14 (01:38:01):
Apple story in Cherry Creek again.

Speaker 13 (01:38:05):
Actually, you could come to our office when we're in
the studio and someone can help you look at it.

Speaker 28 (01:38:10):
I just think it's.

Speaker 14 (01:38:11):
Not Yeah, I like another one.

Speaker 2 (01:38:18):
I mean it's.

Speaker 13 (01:38:21):
Did you ask them about trading it in? Did you
ask them about trading it in?

Speaker 14 (01:38:28):
Neither Apple nor the T Mobile would do it. If
you would help me to go to Apple and get
another phone, I would.

Speaker 2 (01:38:39):
It's not going to be appreciated.

Speaker 13 (01:38:40):
It's not going to be your phone. It's not going
to be your phone, Miriam, It's not going to be
your phone.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
Never had this problem, sir, Believe me.

Speaker 28 (01:38:50):
Believe me now, Miriam.

Speaker 13 (01:38:52):
Does anyone else listen, don't worry about it. It's only technology.
We'll get this fixed. But I need to ask another question.
Does any one else hear what you hear on your
phone and acknowledge it?

Speaker 14 (01:39:05):
Right now I'm talking about it. I'm speaking on my
landline because my.

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
Phone doesn't know here.

Speaker 13 (01:39:12):
Here's what I'm asking. Does anyone call they? Does anyone
have your phone? Did you ever hand your phone to
someone and they can see what you're talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:39:24):
Now?

Speaker 28 (01:39:25):
Can you call us?

Speaker 13 (01:39:27):
Miriam. Can we call you, Miriam? Can we call you
on your cell phone right now?

Speaker 1 (01:39:32):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:39:33):
Absolutely?

Speaker 13 (01:39:34):
All right, hold on, put her on hold, Put her
on hold. Hey, D, Deputy D. Can you call her?

Speaker 6 (01:39:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:39:42):
Can you call her? Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:39:46):
And I want to see what happens during that exchange
and if there's a problem that you can discern. Just
for the heck of it, I don't think it's the phone.

Speaker 12 (01:39:55):
Yeah, I'll wait for Kelly to get me Miriam's phone
number and I'll call her immediately.

Speaker 13 (01:39:59):

forty five years and fifty years elsewhere as well. So
it's been a long, long time, longest running radio show.
Let's get to the phones and try to help. David

(01:46:04):
said he's putting in a security system. He's looking for broadband.
People call him Internet providers. They are broadband is made
is made for more than just the Internet. It's just
as a pipe into your house. And right now we
have a lot more choices than we used to have.

(01:46:24):
There used to be a lot of little internet providers
and now there's bigger ones with better service. And David,
I want to ask, what have you been doing up
till now for internet service?

Speaker 15 (01:46:40):
I have only used a tablet or a phone, And
obviously they don't recommend using a hotspot or that you've
got to get something hooked up. I know I should
get with it, but I haven't.

Speaker 13 (01:46:52):
I just no, that's okay, So you've been using cell service.
You've been using cell service so far?

Speaker 5 (01:47:00):
Correct.

Speaker 28 (01:47:02):
Okay, So this internet.

Speaker 13 (01:47:03):
Service provider, which we call broadband provider, there are there
are a number of choices. I'm going to tell you
some of them. Comcast is one, which is Exfinity. Then
you have Centry Link is another, Starlink which is Elon
Musk's thing. That's that's another option, and then you might have,

(01:47:25):
depending on where you are, other providers.

Speaker 28 (01:47:28):
What are you going to be using the broadband for?

Speaker 13 (01:47:30):
For your home TVs, your security system, your your home internet?

Speaker 5 (01:47:37):
Right?

Speaker 15 (01:47:38):
Yeah, basically just for the security I don't want a
lot of television.

Speaker 9 (01:47:44):
So so if you if you need it just for
a security system, why do you I need to know
why you need it for your security system.

Speaker 13 (01:47:56):
Broadband is not required for security. What kind of system
do you have.

Speaker 15 (01:48:02):
About a blink outdoor for I believe it's called and uh.
I try to hook it up and follow what they
were telling me to do, and then it just keeps,
you know, putting me back to square one and doesn't
work that way. And then I called the uh uh

(01:48:23):
uh the tech service, and then they said you need
broadband or you need service.

Speaker 13 (01:48:29):
First of all home They said you need you need
a home network basically correct.

Speaker 28 (01:48:34):
Yes, Okay, what part of town are you in?

Speaker 15 (01:48:42):
Very It's like southeast Dever right on the Cusp with
Aurora in that area.

Speaker 28 (01:48:49):
Okay, I know right where you are.

Speaker 5 (01:48:52):
Yeah, yeah, I would go.

Speaker 13 (01:48:54):
If I were you, I would simply call Exfinity excuse me,
I know, say I would, and I would do Sentry link.

Speaker 12 (01:49:01):
David, I Tom, I have a great recommendation for David. David,
who's your self service provider?

Speaker 15 (01:49:10):
The self service?

Speaker 5 (01:49:12):
Yeah, who's your cell service?

Speaker 1 (01:49:14):
With?

Speaker 5 (01:49:14):
What company?

Speaker 15 (01:49:15):
They're sort of like a connection with a collaboration or something.
T Mobile got involved and it used to be someone else.

Speaker 5 (01:49:23):
But yes, well here's why I bring that up.

Speaker 12 (01:49:28):
I use I have my cell services with Verizon and
for twenty five bucks extra per month, they offered me
full on high speed five G Internet for my home
and it's been working beautifully. I think I've signed up
for that about three years ago, and I can't tell
you how happy I am. I have great connectivity, speed

(01:49:49):
for both up and downloads, it's super cheap, and it's
never gone down on me, even during power failures.

Speaker 13 (01:49:57):
Now, now let me ask you something, d D. The
five G they offer, is it a little hot spot?
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:50:04):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:50:04):
No, it's so.

Speaker 12 (01:50:06):
It's a box with an antenna and the networking hardware
all in it. It's about the size of what a
phone book used to look like.

Speaker 13 (01:50:14):
And then you kind of find they don't have to
bring a wire in though it's all cell based.

Speaker 5 (01:50:19):
It's all wireless. It's stuck on my wall.

Speaker 12 (01:50:21):
So what you do is you use their app to
figure out where to stick this huge thing on the
wall or put it on a piece of furniture somewhere,
and it, you know, it tells you how good of
a connection you have to one of their antennas. And
I did it and I haven't moved it since then.
It has never gone down on me. And man, it's

(01:50:42):
twenty five bucks a month. Now I know for a
fact that T Mobile has a competing service. Is I
did shop at T Mobile about a year ago and
they told me they'll do the same thing for about
thirty bucks. So either of those companies. My personal experience
with Verizon and I can't tell you how happy I
am with that service.

Speaker 28 (01:51:00):
So David, you can look into.

Speaker 13 (01:51:04):
You can look into Tea Mobile and ask them what
home based broadband they offer and what Dimitria is talking about.

Speaker 28 (01:51:12):
It's kind of like a.

Speaker 5 (01:51:13):
Hotspot, that's what it is.

Speaker 13 (01:51:15):
It's picking up the cell service and turning it into
broadband for your home through that router.

Speaker 12 (01:51:21):
Yeah, and it's and it's actually an entire Wi Fi
system is in there so I can connect. I have
two or three computers that are connected to it. I
have two phones that are connected to it. So it's
a full on.

Speaker 15 (01:51:32):
Home network and it's safe, so to speak.

Speaker 5 (01:51:37):
It's going to be as safe as you are. Right.

Speaker 12 (01:51:39):
So, I don't know how easy is to hack into
Verizon's phone internet service, but I have a feeling they're
pretty sophisticated to protecting themselves.

Speaker 13 (01:51:48):
Okay, because they just sew what he means by as
safe as you are if you.

Speaker 28 (01:51:54):
What's that.

Speaker 26 (01:51:56):
They just mentioned?

Speaker 15 (01:51:57):
Hotspot was not recommended, but this morning the hotspot it's
the same thing as that.

Speaker 5 (01:52:01):
Yeah, it's not a hot spot. I know what Tom
is referring to works like a hot Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:52:06):
Yeah, I mean that's the only name. That's the only
name I have for it. I mean, it's not. What
I'm saying is it's not a wire coming into the home.

Speaker 12 (01:52:14):
No, it's all wireless, and it's just like a wireless WiFi.
It is a wireless WiFi network. In fact, my neighbor's
new refrigerator tried to connect to it because it is
because it recognized it as the strongest Wi Fi network,
and I didn't let the refrigerator into my network. But
but it's it's a full on thing. Man, it's now now.

(01:52:35):
I got to tell you. It was only available as
an option because I have their premium telephone service. So
if you buy it as a standalone service, it's like
seventy or eighty bucks a month. But if you switch
your cell phone service to Verizon, they'll offer it to
for twenty.

Speaker 5 (01:52:51):
Five Okay, great, Oh never never a price increase, I expect.

Speaker 12 (01:53:00):
Did the you know, the twenty five dollars to be
for like three months or something, and I was waiting
for them to start sneaking in ten fifteen bucks a month.
Since then, they haven't changed it once.

Speaker 15 (01:53:11):
Thank you, terrific.

Speaker 28 (01:53:13):
Hey, David, I want to I want to ask you
a question.

Speaker 5 (01:53:16):
David.

Speaker 13 (01:53:18):
Have you ever called into the show when Mark took
your call?

Speaker 14 (01:53:23):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:53:24):
In fact, I called in a couple of times. In fact, yeah,
I just called in the other day and I was
waiting and he just goes on and on and on
about his own stuff, and I'm like, jeez, you know,
I finally he takes a break, and I'll wait forever
for you. I understand breaks, but he just it's just, Oh,
I'm telling you. I used to bring me radio on,

(01:53:45):
I mean the radio out to my mom when she
was still alive, and I'm like, this is the guy
in charge of helping people, and we were just laugh
It was like a Saturday night. I mean, it's hilarious.
But anyway, Yeah, I called in before and then I'll
say something like you'll get in an argument or something,
and then he hangs up on me and then he
tells the audience that disconnected.

Speaker 26 (01:54:05):
He lies and I'm telling you.

Speaker 5 (01:54:08):
Just no, he doesn't lie about that.

Speaker 13 (01:54:10):
Oh he doesn't lie about back.

Speaker 15 (01:54:13):
He said that, and then he laughed, and no he does.
And uh, I'm just telling you, I mean.

Speaker 23 (01:54:20):
Take a hat, take a stop hat.

Speaker 15 (01:54:23):
Hidden you know, discount Suzanne. She would have to like him,
but see how many people like him. I'm telling you
he would be on the the sleevesburg for everybody that
knows him.

Speaker 12 (01:54:33):
Yeah, I disagree, and I disagree.

Speaker 15 (01:54:36):
I'm telling you, if he takes over the shop, I think,
look Tom Martine, empire down the drain. I mean, what
you built up this long? I mean, listen, if my
if my wife was the employee of the New York Yankees,
it doesn't mean I get to be the starting pitcher.
He should be deputy in mark, just like you've got
a doctor.

Speaker 13 (01:54:55):
I mean, everybody, Okay, hold on, hold on, no, no, no, okay,
he's not here to defend himself. I there must have
been a particular call or something that pissed you off.

Speaker 15 (01:55:06):
I don't I don't know what it is. I just
can't stand the guy. I can't stand anything about him.

Speaker 13 (01:55:10):
Okay, well, okay, every listen, there are.

Speaker 15 (01:55:12):
One sentence without cursing, and he's not interested in helping.
He's interested in fighting.

Speaker 5 (01:55:18):
That's what he.

Speaker 15 (01:55:18):
Does all day long.

Speaker 28 (01:55:19):
And okay, and that's a hard point, David.

Speaker 5 (01:55:25):
He fights health work like.

Speaker 15 (01:55:26):
A normal person. From you, you waste your time arguing
with someone who always brings it into like a thousand
and two thousand percent when you're just trying to focus
in on one.

Speaker 13 (01:55:36):
Will ok well, listen, I let you I let you
have your say. I let you have your say. Hold on,
hold on.

Speaker 15 (01:55:43):
I'm not the only one.

Speaker 13 (01:55:45):
Well, okay, but there are a lot of people thank
you for calling, by the way, three.

Speaker 28 (01:55:48):
Or three seven on three talk seven three two five.
A lot of people don't like me.

Speaker 13 (01:55:53):
A lot of people don't like you know whatever I mean,
there's different strokes.

Speaker 5 (01:55:57):
I was just curious as.

Speaker 13 (01:55:58):
To why you said that that you didn't want to
call in with him. Dimitri present the cell phone. Yeah,
you know, Miriam said her cell phone doesn't work.

Speaker 5 (01:56:09):
Did you call her? Yeah? And you know she's right.
It was a pretty bad connection.

Speaker 12 (01:56:13):
Now, it's obviously impossible to figure out what's actually going on.

Speaker 5 (01:56:16):
I have a theory.

Speaker 12 (01:56:17):
I think she just it sounds our call quality was
pretty awful and it sounded exactly the way that calls
sound when you have somebody in a very bad reception area.
So I think Dragon was looking in the right direction
when he said, Hey, at your house, you have bad reception.
But the phone wants to connect to your home Wi
Fi network. And I know for a fact that that's

(01:56:40):
what phones do, and I have a feeling that that's
what that's the problem now.

Speaker 5 (01:56:46):
She I did ask.

Speaker 12 (01:56:47):
Her if she has better connectivity or better call quality
when she goes to the grocery store or the library,
or the gas station or whatever, and she didn't address
that question. She said, it sounds to me like the
only other place she ever goes is Park Meadows Mall.
So so I obviously it's impossible for us to figure
out what's going on with her phone.

Speaker 5 (01:57:08):
I'm with you.

Speaker 13 (01:57:09):
So if I never hooked to her WiFi, if she
never hooked her phone to the Wi Fi, it has
nowhere to go.

Speaker 12 (01:57:16):
If it has, I think that the phone never got
a chance to connect to her home WiFi, or she
may have entered their own password or whatever, and she
needs to dig into the guts of her phone and
connect it to the Wi Fi and then tell us, hey,
I'm totally connected and call calouty still sucks and then
we can pursue it. But Tom didn't last fall, you

(01:57:39):
had you had a resource. He had some guy who
went out to help an elderly lady set up her iPhone.
Does that guy side does he still offer that?

Speaker 13 (01:57:48):
Say we call him eye Ted. He's still around. He's
probably listening.

Speaker 12 (01:57:53):
Well, it would be great if you can offer her
a house, you know, at a reasonable price.

Speaker 13 (01:57:58):
I'm thinking, well, I don't think he has a charge.
He can do it for us. He might do it
just to go out there and see. But that's a
good idea, Dmitri, Eye Ted, if you're listening. If not,
we'll try to get a hold of him. I don't know,
Kichina if you have his number or not. But that's
a good one, Dmitri. Remind me of that.

Speaker 28 (01:58:16):
And I'll try.

Speaker 13 (01:58:17):
I'll I'll hook her up with I'll ask I Ted
if he'll take it on. Yeah, I'll read three seven

Speaker 28 (01:59:35):
What's going on?

Speaker 20 (01:59:39):
So?

Speaker 25 (01:59:40):
I'm in an apartment complex then Withminster, and they shut
our water off yesterday. They shut the water off yesterday
about maybe about one o'clock. But why I didn't know.
I guess they have like a broken WHI thank you
have a broken pie? Okay, And they shut the water off,

(02:00:03):
so it's like nobody over here has had water since
about one one pm.

Speaker 13 (02:00:08):
Yesterday, and well, wait a minute, how long do they
expect to leave it off?

Speaker 25 (02:00:14):
They sent us a text message. They sent us a
text message.

Speaker 13 (02:00:19):
And the.

Speaker 25 (02:00:21):
When we all got the text message, de leasing office
has closed, so we couldn't even contact de las and office.
Like we've all been without water since about one pm yesterday,
ALFU five months old.

Speaker 5 (02:00:34):
That's ridiculous. That is with me, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 13 (02:00:39):
Did you in the text message did they say when
they expected it to be back?

Speaker 25 (02:00:45):
Yeah, they told us in the text message that it
wouldn't be right until monday. But it's like, if the
water's going to be off for over twenty four hours,
you guys, shit kind of be taking us somewhere, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 13 (02:01:01):
I think be Yeah, I think you're right.

Speaker 25 (02:01:06):
So we're totally how.

Speaker 28 (02:01:07):
Many apartments a rshall how many apartments?

Speaker 25 (02:01:14):
It's it's about sixty, like where the we're the only
building over here that doesn't have water, Like.

Speaker 13 (02:01:22):
It's probably about whoa wa wait wait wait how many units?

Speaker 1 (02:01:26):
Har?

Speaker 13 (02:01:27):
How many units are without water?

Speaker 25 (02:01:29):
I would say it's a good sixty unit Like we
all don't have water. Nobody has water right now?

Speaker 13 (02:01:36):
Like, so is that a total of sixty units. So
is it the whole comp is it the whole complex?

Speaker 25 (02:01:43):
It's it's it's not the whole complex, but it's my building,
Like it's my whole Okay, we don't so literally like
we're having to put water in our toilet to even
flush the toilet, Like where.

Speaker 28 (02:01:59):
Where you getting the water? Where you getting the water?

Speaker 25 (02:02:03):
So they're right across the street from where I stay at.
There's like like a garden center and you can go
over there. Like everybody it's crazy, Like everybody had five
gallon blunkets and everybody was grabbing like this buckets or
just something to put water in, Like this is the hold,

(02:02:24):
like my whole complex, like my whole building. Like this
is crazy, Like this is crazy, and I know that
this isn't.

Speaker 13 (02:02:32):
Right, Like now is management open right now? Is management
open right now?

Speaker 25 (02:02:38):
I went to the building this morning and management is
not even in the building. There's there's nobody even at
the leasing office. Like I went to the building this
morning and they're totally closed.

Speaker 5 (02:02:51):
Are there any people working? Do you have a number plumbers?

Speaker 25 (02:02:55):
Yeah, I have a number. I have a number for them.

Speaker 28 (02:02:59):
Did you did you call?

Speaker 25 (02:03:02):
I called that number and they even said David sent
an emergency like maintenance guy last night, but he was
so he was so scared because people were kind of
blugging out on him. And last night he told me, like,
I don't want everybody to beat me up. So I
had the maintenance guy just staying with me at my

(02:03:23):
apartment because it's like this is not your fault, Like
this is not your fault and they shouldn't have just
sent you in here to deal with.

Speaker 28 (02:03:31):
The phone number you have.

Speaker 13 (02:03:33):
The phone number you have, is it the management company?

Speaker 25 (02:03:38):
It's it's the property yet the number to the leasing
office like where I say at yes it is.

Speaker 28 (02:03:45):
Does anyone answer the phone?

Speaker 25 (02:03:48):
Nobody's answering the phone today, Like there's I walked over
there early this morning.

Speaker 13 (02:03:54):
I'm trying to get an eyeta. Is there a headquarter
somewhere we can call? ARISHU Have you called this city
health department? Where? Who's what jurisdiction are you in? Having
a county city what?

Speaker 25 (02:04:07):
So I'm in Adams County and I mean I live
in with Minston. But it's like I didn't know who
to call myself, Like I really just didn't.

Speaker 5 (02:04:18):
Know who are you in the city?

Speaker 28 (02:04:20):
Are you in the city of Westminster.

Speaker 25 (02:04:23):
Yes, I am, Yes, I am. I mean we ought
to try something I wasn't like who I didn't know who.

Speaker 13 (02:04:32):
Actually, hey, deputy Dog, you want to try calling someone.
I want to give it to one of our people
to start calling to see if we can find out.
I mean, obviously our shoe they can't do this for
a long period of time and they got a problem.

Speaker 16 (02:04:47):
Well, But there's usually team numbers, the leasing office and
a management office, and usually most.

Speaker 5 (02:04:52):
Of them were an emergency number.

Speaker 16 (02:04:54):
It's usually an emergency number if you call.

Speaker 25 (02:04:58):
Like they're just not open to like the leasing office.
They're just not open, like the way they send these messages.
So they sent us these messages after the leasing office
even closed. So the number that the message came through
that we didn't even have water Like, that's.

Speaker 5 (02:05:17):
A totally different. What's the name of the complex.

Speaker 13 (02:05:21):
What's the name of the complex, dude, it's Tears Gardens.

Speaker 25 (02:05:25):

your water situation right now?

like I said, well.

Speaker 13 (02:06:14):
They obviously look at they obviously want to get it working.
I mean, it's not like they don't want to get
you working. We just got to figure this out. This
is ridiculous.

Speaker 25 (02:06:25):
This is if if they think that we can all

Well, thank you for calling, Phil, appreciate that.

Speaker 31 (02:09:13):
Yeah. And there's another thing, that gentleman that called about
water damage or not water damage. No water in these apartments.

Speaker 5 (02:09:23):
Right right?

Speaker 31 (02:09:24):
Okay, I know it could be from sixty four in
Sheridan in Herbada to Westminster on eighty eight and Westminster
on Sheridan. They're putting these great big sewer lines in.
And I talked to one of the guys over there

(02:09:49):
and he said that they did cut a couple water lines.
So I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:09:55):
Yeah, it could be. It could be.

Speaker 13 (02:09:58):
We'll look into it. Thank you, Phil, thank you, thank you.
Three h three seven it's seven one three talks seven
one three eight two five five.

Speaker 5 (02:10:05):
I appreciate your your your.

Speaker 13 (02:10:07):
Thoughts and appreciate you congratulating me. Claudia, you have a
comment on our issues apartment with no water?

Speaker 5 (02:10:16):
What is your comment?

Speaker 30 (02:10:19):
First of all, I'm glad you're well. Second of all,
Marcus wonderful. That guy is an idiot. So anyway we
the way we used to do it is we would
call the fire department because you're not going to get
a holdu of the management office. They probably won't answer.
I worked for the county for a long time and

(02:10:40):
they need to know about it. If there were a fire,
there's no way to help out building at all.

Speaker 13 (02:10:48):
Well, they can get I don't know, the.

Speaker 5 (02:10:52):
Go ahead.

Speaker 30 (02:10:54):
They can get on to the management to give them
an answer and make sure there's some going on with
a quicker emergency than anybody else can do it.

Speaker 13 (02:11:06):
I never thought of that the fire department might have contacts.
Deputy Doc, are you trying numbers, Claudia, Hold on, because Doc,
have you tried any of the numbers?

Speaker 6 (02:11:17):
Doc?

Speaker 12 (02:11:17):
Stepped out because he's probably working the phones, working on
this matter.

Speaker 13 (02:11:22):
Okay, Yeah, he's trying a few numbers to see if
we can get through to somebody. And it does sound
strange that they just turned off the water. It's terrace
gardens in Westminster. Maybe Phil has a point. They're working
on the water lines, uh with the city and maybe
or the county did it. So we'll check it out.

(02:11:42):
And Claudia, that's a good tip if you call the
fire department and say what happens in case of a fire?
Do you have emergency contacts for this apartment complex? And
perhaps they do, Thank you, Claudia, three zero three, seven
to one to three talk seven to one three, eight
to two five five. So anyway, there is a there

(02:12:06):
is a thing going on with teenagers right now that's
pretty pretty amazing. It's it's terrible, and it's where they
text teenage boys pretending to be a teenage girl. Now
it's a twist on that old love scam, but instead
of targeting middle aged women and middle aged men, now

(02:12:29):
they're going after horny teenage boys. And I say horny
teenage boys because this is how the scam works. They
literally say that you know they're interested in them. They
send a sexy picture of a teenage girl and then
they ask the boy to send a picture back, and

(02:12:49):
the boy sends a picture back. And by the way,
this is happening and it's real. There have been many
kids targeted on this. So when the kids sends the
picture back, then they blackmail the kids saying, you know,
we are going to publish this picture. It's called sextortion,

(02:13:10):
and we're going to publish the picture to all your
friends and neighbors and family and your contact list unless
you pay us. Now, they're taking payments as little as
twenty five or thirty bucks, all the way up to
one hundred and fifty to two hundred. At first they
ask for thousands, and the kids panic and say they
can't pay it. Then they say, okay, what about one

(02:13:32):
hundred dollars? And these kids manage to scrape together money
to keep their pictures private.

Speaker 5 (02:13:39):
But it has been going on.

Speaker 13 (02:13:41):
It started in California, and a lot of kids are
tapping into their college money or they're spending money or
their savings accounts to pay this off.

Speaker 5 (02:13:50):
And so the FBI is on it.

Speaker 13 (02:13:53):
But it's called sextortion. You really should talk to your
kids about this. You really should, because it's a real deal.
If they're being targeted by someone of the other sex.
It's usually teenage boys being targeted now by a track
by so called attractive young women who want to have
a relationship with them. And of course a lot of

(02:14:14):
times we know that the teenage boys are not thinking
with the correct brain three zero three seven one three
talk seven one three eight two five five, So that
is called sextortion. Sextortion is not new, but the new
target's now teenage boys.

Speaker 5 (02:14:32):
That is a new development.

What's going on?

Speaker 13 (02:15:54):
Oh?

Speaker 16 (02:15:55):
I was able to get finally in touch with somebody
that they have an answering service, and she said she
was going to contact the maintenance department and the management company.
She wouldn't give me the numbers, but she said somebody
should get back to him in fifteen minutes. So I
told him to call me immediately and if we don't

(02:16:15):
get satisfaction, we will do what you suggested and call
the fire department.

Speaker 5 (02:16:21):
Yeah, so they did have an answering service.

Speaker 16 (02:16:24):
They did, finally, Yes.

Speaker 5 (02:16:25):
And were they aware of what you were talking about?

Speaker 16 (02:16:28):
No, of course not. It was it sounded like some uh,
I won't be mean. It sounded like someone who was
not really competent to be answering phones. But she did
take down the course and we'll see what happens.

Speaker 5 (02:16:44):
That's the way it is. I mean.

Speaker 13 (02:16:46):
But it's this is you know, no water is way
more serious than even no heat of course, or no
AC or whatever.

Speaker 28 (02:16:55):
I mean, it's really bad.

Speaker 16 (02:16:57):
And I told her to make sure she talks to
management company about giving you permission to take his five
month old baby to a hotel for the night if
the water's not turned on.

Speaker 13 (02:17:08):
Yep, absolutely, that's something that needs to be done. Okay,
I want to talk about a couple other things here
that's important. On the on the automobile, Kevin and Jeff,
we had a couple questions. I want to get through
it real quick. About additives. What if someone is changing
their oil religiously five or six thousand miles, do additives
do any additional help? Or is the changing of the

(02:17:32):
oil enough.

Speaker 8 (02:17:34):
What depends on why the additive is you're using. I mean,
if oil additives, you know, I know Al when he
was here, he was pretty religious.

Speaker 6 (02:17:40):
About it on every oil change.

Speaker 8 (02:17:42):
