Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio f and Good Morning
Bill Handle Here it is a Saturday morning.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Three fun hours.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
If I handle on the law, complete total humiliation of
you by me, if I can. Sometimes it's the other
way around, depending on the phone call number here, since
we start the show and the top of the hour
always the best time to call. Sometimes we're jammed and
(00:35):
you can't get in for an hour and a half.
So if you'd like to ask a marginal legal question
and to get a marginal legal answer, the number is
eight hundred five to zero one five three four eight
hundred five two zero one five three four, And the
rules of the game are as always the same. If
(00:57):
you are completely unintelligible cannot be understood, you're right there
at the top of the list. If you are without limbs,
let's say you are a quadruple amputee, that's good stuff too,
although it's kind of hard to dial the phone.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Although who dials anymore now?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Just go hey Siri and theoretically answers the phone, although
mine takes forever. And if you are of an ethnicity
that I can make fun of right there top of
the list too, so it's all good. The number eight
hundred five two zero one five three four eight hundred
five two zero one five three four. Keep in mind
(01:36):
this is marginal legal advice. Now before I jump into
the show. I'm not a baseball watcher. I am not
a fan of baseball. But man, last night that Dodger game, Hey,
how about them Dodgers. I gotta tell you, I watched
this saying and show, hey, Otani, who they can't speak
(01:57):
highly enough of, probably is going to be the player
in the history of the game both a pitcher and
a and a hitter, and now feeler and a hitter,
and the guy is unbelievable, unbelievable. I think last time
there was a pitcher and a hitter that either one
was a premier position in that position was I think
(02:20):
it was Babe Ruth until he gave up pitching. So
show heyo Tani both ways. Three homers, six strikeouts. Man,
that's something. Okay, that's enough sports talk. I don't do
sports talk, by the way, just to let you know,
but had to do it this time around. Also, here's
a fun contract. Seven hundred million dollars over ten years,
(02:42):
not bad, not bad. You could do worse. The number
eight hundred five two zero one five three fours a
number to call. Eight hundred five two zero one five
three four. And we want to ramp up and get
going on this as quickly as possible. Eight hundred and
five two zero one five three four. Okay, let's do it.
(03:07):
This is handle on the law, marginal legal advice where
I tell you have absolutely no case. I love church
church leaders who go south, and you know molest kids.
Not the molestation part, I mean, that's horrific. But I'm
talking about their fall from grace. And for some reason,
(03:31):
it seems to be the more fundamentalist Christian they are
talking morality and family values, it's the more entertaining it
is when they fall. And by the way, it has happened
to a number of them. And here is the latest
out of Oklahoma. There is a megachurch in actually is
(03:55):
a Texas megachurch founder Robert Morris, and he pleaded guilty
in an Oklahoma court to sex crimes against a girl.
The sex crime started in nineteen eighty two and continued
for years. He's sixty four years old. Entered guilty please
to five felon accounts of lude or indecent acts to
(04:15):
a child. Now here's the part that I just don't get.
He's going to serve six months in county jail and
then be put on probation for nine years.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And six months.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
How when you plead guilty to five felony counts of
lud indecent acts to a child, you only are in
jail for six months. He has to register as a
sex offender and has to pay two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars in restitution to the victim.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Where he's gonna get.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, I have no idea,
And that's what happens these insane restitution numbers. Like the
guy who has been arrested and has been charged with
starting the Palisades fire here in southern California, nine thousand
or sixteen thousand homes and structures went up and twelve
(05:13):
people died.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He's going to pay restitution, of course he is.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Another thing about this is the Megatures founder Robert Morris
did not apologize in court. He pled guilty to molesting
this young girl or by now she's an adult, and
didn't apologize at all. Now he's a convicted felon. Of course,
(05:40):
the sentence was suspended, and if he violates the conditions
of probation, he goes right back to court, which is
generally the same. So he admitted or Morris admitted the wrongdoing.
I remember he pled guilty but did not apologize. After
the victim and she allowed her name to be you,
(06:00):
Cindy Klemishire spoke to a blog called the wart Berg Watch,
a blog about sexual abuse within the church, and she
decided to come forward publicly. Usually they do not release
names of victims, and she wants to encourage others who
may be victims to tell their stories. And I'll tell
(06:22):
you right now, you bet there are others. You bet
there are. And she went on to say, and to him,
now she gave a victim statement.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
She's in court staring right at him.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
When you built a megachurch, authored books, gain fame, I
dropped out of college, endured, endured divorces, and struggled with
self worth. Yeah, while you twisted your crimes into a
story of infidelity to protect your image. My family and
I were left trying to explain the truth to pastors
(06:57):
who look the other way. Yeah, that's a fun one too.
The Catholic Church rightly was nailed beyond nailed on that one,
where you have the priests who were caught molesting usually
young boys over years and years, and the church protected
them knowing that they did that. Now, to be fair
(07:19):
to the Catholic Church, it has changed around completely. Now
it takes every allegation very seriously. All right, enough of that.
I can't believe it was only six months in jail. However,
since he molested a minor. You know, you can get
two weeks if you're in the general population, and it's
(07:40):
not going to be pleasant. Where we get shanked, you
may very well die or seriously get injured. All right,
let's do it. Paul, Hello, Paul, welcome.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yes, sir, how are you go ahead?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I have a question for you. I bought a life
insurance policy recently. I did the process to the phone,
the application process to the phone. I was asked a
series of questions and one of the questions specifically, was
about my cholesterol, and I told him that I had
been diagnosed with cholesterol. Correct. So when I got the
(08:24):
policy in the mail, I went through to the to
the questionnaire and I saw that he had answered that
I did not have the high cholesterols. So I'm wondering
if that's going to affect the coverage in some way or.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Okay, let me ask.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Let me throw a couple of questions at you. How big?
How big is the policy?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Paul?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Two hundred and fifty All right, two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And what the agent probably did because he's on commission
is slide through that to make sure that you got
the policy now for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Is that enough to argue? Well, here is what you're
looking at. The problem is is let's say you die
(09:15):
because of some issue related to high cholesterol, for example,
a stroke or a heart attack.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
That may be an issue.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
So the other side of it is if you go
in and say, oh, no, I have high cholesterol, they
may not accept you or charge higher premiums. So sort
of six and one half a dozen of the other.
If it is wrong the application, because you're supposed to
look at it carefully, and there is an error and
we're talking about your health, they could bounce it. They could,
(09:49):
so you know, you're better off dying of something else.
How's your relationship with your.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Are you married?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I am married?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, you are married?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Kids?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yes, sir, I do I have kids?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
How old? How old are the kids?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Twenty four, seventeen and twelve?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
All right, well, I'm just going to suggest an easier
way for you to family to collect is simply to,
you know, stick a gun in your mouth and blow
your brains out. Then they can't argue collect. Then they
cannot argue cholesterol. So don't die of a heart attack,
don't die of a stroke, you know, if you're gonna die,
step in front of an Amazon car truck or whatever.
(10:31):
I don't know if they're going to say anything or not.
And the other situation is no, I'll tell you the
guy who sent you the policy is going to lie
about what you said over the phone.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You know what. I don't know which way to go.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Can they bounce you, yeah, and say you misrepresented your
health and you died of exactly what we asked you,
and you said that you didn't have that problem. So
it's your choice.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I know that's of a weird answer, but it's so yeah,
or an equivocal answer or equivocal answer. All right, let's
go ahead and take our first break. This is Handle
on the Law, kay Fie. Handle here on Saturday morning,
number eight hundred five two zero one five three four
(11:20):
eight hundred five two zero one five three four and
welcome back. Handle on the Law, Marginal Legal Advice.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Alan.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Hello, Alan, welcome to the program.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Thanks Bill. My question is should I have my attorney
draw up a document that with one of my grandchildren.
I want to give them their inheritance now, but that
grandchild needs to know that that's all they're going to get.
Long story short, eight grand they'll go ahead, sir, Yeah, No, you.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Don't have to. No, you don't need an attorney. You
just you know what you do.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You tell them, hey, I'm going to give you some
money now, you're not going to be in the will.
And what you do is you have an attorney right
the trust or the will because you have to specifically
disinherit him, because if you're leaving all the grandkids money
and he doesn't get the money, that he is going
(12:20):
to sue for under the will. What you want to
do is very carefully say that you are being disinherited
under this will, and then you add the language because
you already receive the money. Henry Ford, not Henry Ford.
Oh my god, oh god, I forgot Can you imagine
(12:43):
I forgot this name? Big actor? Wow? By just one
of those mind breaks. But anyway, okay, major actor, and
I'll get the name and you're gonna know exactly what
I'm talking about. His daughter also a huge actress. She
was in clute and the name just draws me. So anyway,
(13:03):
he left a pile of money and didn't leave a dinder. Yes,
thank you, Henry Fonda, thank you much. And his daughter.
So he left a pile of money to his family
and disinherited her, and did so by saying, she is
well off, she makes enough money that she doesn't need
(13:26):
my money. So it wasn't a I want to disinherit.
It was just explained why he disinherited her in a
good way.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
What ends up happening. And here is the way. Here
the way the rules work.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
If you have eight grandkids and you leave one out,
that one out is going to can come right back
and contest everything and say you forgot to put me in.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I'm entitled.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I mean, that's just happens, especially if you're talking a
large sum of money. That part you want that part.
You want to get an attorney to right. So yeah,
I would get in attorney or a to write either
a trust or a will under that for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Robert, Hello, Robert, welcome.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
I have got a couple of buildings in Los Angeles
that are innundated with homeless encampment and has been that
way for five years. And this year, well this is
nobody has come out from the city. They've made four
different appointments to come out and clean this year. I've
driven down there and waited all day for them to
(14:32):
show up. They never showed up four different times, and
I keep talking to them. I don't know. It's terrible.
The homeless are dumping laws, sewage daily in the streets,
stealing electricity from the poles, stealing water from the fire hydrants,
and the trash in some places is taller than six feet.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Okay, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And the city won't come out and do anything, which
they don't do. And when they do, these people come
right back. Are they on your property?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
No rights?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
The streets?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Street?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So yeah, yeah, that's that is that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Because if they were near your property, say a sidewalk
in front of your property, even on it.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I mean they're not.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
The authorities aren't going to do anything anymore. Sometimes they do.
I just say, you clean the sidewalk with a with
a high pressure hose six times a day, but across
the street and the city won't do anything about it. God,
that's a mess. Are they Are they in front of
other properties, other apartment buildings, businesses?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yes, okay, well are.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They doing Are they doing anything?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Are they doing anything? The owners of the buildings across
the street, they try and they call the authorities too,
and they call the authorities too.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Right, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well, I'm going to go.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's it's a mess when when the authorities don't want
to do anything and they're overwhelmed, I mean totally overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And I had that happen in my house.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But it's it was a pretty nice neighborhood, and I
was very lucky because a city councilman happened to live
in my neighborhood. So there was an encampment under the
bridge where I get off the freeway and I go
under the overpass, huge encampment there cleaned up almost immediately.
(16:30):
But that was a councilman who lived in the neighborhood.
You know, all you can do is keep on trying.
I mean, there's and even if they rouse those people,
you just need as much pressure. Have you talked to
the city councilman who represents your district.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Emails? Yes, and they're representatives.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You know you keep I think you keep on pushing,
You keep on pushing, and mentioned that you're a constituent
and you say to that that that the office, because
they always have a representative and ambundsman that does voter
relations is say hey, you know what, I'm gonna go
crazy to make sure that this guy is not elected.
(17:11):
You've got an enemy on your hands. You have to
help your constituents. That's basically all you can do. You
can get restraining orders. Okay, now what so the police
come in, they uphold the restraining order, out, they go.
Next day they come back in. So you know, there's
no good answer that I mean, I I'm fine that
there's no good answer because my neighborhood is great.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So I mean, do I really care? This is Handle
on the Law.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
KFI AM six forty Bill Handle here Saturday morning, phone
number eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
Eight hundred five two zero one five three four. Now
we are off to a fairly slow start this morning.
Sometimes not sometimes yes, So let me do this, Sam,
Let's give a preview, hold on a minute of what's
(18:07):
going to happen in the event people call up. See,
this is one of the things I love doing this show.
I really do. But I'm unfortunately at your beck and call.
This is why I don't take phone calls Monday through
Friday on my show. I just talk and I'm not
going to talk for three hours on Saturday. I'm done
talking by Friday. And no, nope, nope, close enough. Yeah,
(18:30):
maybe we should cut to the traffic. But anyway, the
phone number is eight hundred five two zero one five
to three four. And if you don't call, you know
what happens. Sam's correct, That's correct. Okay, that was just
an intro as to what's going to happen. All right,
fair enough, eight hundred five two zero one five to
(18:52):
three four.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Let's go to it. Let's go through the phone calls.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Welcome back, Handle on the Law Mark Legal Advice. Veronica, Hello, Veronica,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Hi Bill, I'm renting a very expensive condo in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Okay, what's what's what's expensive.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
About four thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Now, I want to make a point here for people
that are listing in other parts of the country. Four
thousand dollars, As Veronica says.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It's very expensive.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It may be a lot of money, which it is,
but relative to the cost of rentals in southern California,
that is not outrageous.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Now, if you go to Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
For example, what you're going to get is a six
bedroom house on five acres of land with three cars
on cinder blocks in the front yard instead of just one,
and all the possums doew you could ever eat? So
moving on, moving on, Okay, four thousand do month condo,
(20:01):
And what's going on?
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Well, the dishwasher is not working. It came furnished with
a dishwasher.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
No refrigerator.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
S by a big refrigerator, but the dishrushers, you know,
it's all rusty.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
It feels like a safety hazard.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
And I want to know if the landlord's responsible for
changing that or do I have to replace it. I
would say, I would say the landlord is responsible, and
I'll tell you why, because he supplied it. If he
did not supply it, you'd be responsible because that's not
considered a true necessity. Incidentally, they just changed the law
(20:36):
in La County or maybe the state of California, in
which now landlords must supply a refrigerator because too often,
like in your case, Veronica, here comes the apartment or
the condo, no refrigerator, and you now buy a refrigerator.
So let's say you now have to move someplace else.
(20:57):
The hassle of moving a refrigerator is astronomical, and there's
a good chance that a rental has a refrigerator refrigerator there,
So you're in the minority. So I would say, yeah,
and have you contacted your landlord and saying this is
a rusty old piece of crap and I'm paying four
thousand dollars a month, not yet, but I want to
(21:21):
gus what you want to do. Yeah, No, that's what
you want to do legally. Yeah, I think he does
because he offered it. It's part of the apartment or
the condo, and you bought it and where you bought
everything that was in it, and it all has to work.
If he didn't supply one, eh, you know, he doesn't
(21:42):
have to buy law supply one, but all, who's going
to rent a you know, four thousand dollars place without
a dishwasher? Frankly, I'm shocked that he didn't put in
a refrigerator there that you brought in your own. How
much have you spent for the fridge?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I think there's.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
About four thousand dollars for the.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Four dollars for a fridge.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Wow, So what happens if well, you got one of
the top top top ones. So let me ask you,
what do you do when you leave there and you
go someplace else because you're renting, What do you do
with your What do you do with your four thousand
dollars refrigerator?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I'm going to sleep?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, no kidding. See, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
That's why the law now says refrigerators I have to
be offered because that is the big issue.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So how long have you been in How long have
you been in your condo?
Speaker 6 (22:31):
I said, smart?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
So a little over six months.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
If you'd waited six months and just bought one of
those Igloo coolers for six months, you would have been fine.
You would have gotten a new refrigerator. Anyway, that's the answer.
A couple of things are absolutely mandatory, and that is
the heating has to work.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That's by law, no issue. You have to have hot water.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You can't have leaks, you can't have broken windows that
the landlord must fix.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Dishwashers, No, doesn't even have to supply one, but if
he does, you your rental includes a working dishwasher.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Devon, Hi, Devon.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
Hey, what's going on with Bill?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I'm doing a show. What's going on with you? You
picked up the phone and you're calling me? All right,
we got that one straightened out, you know what, Devin,
let me do this. Let me stick you on hold
because I don't want to knock you off too soon. Okay,
so we'll be right. I'll be right back with Devon.
And before we take the break, I'm going to tell
you about the Pain Game podcast. The Pain Game Podcast
(23:36):
is hosted by Lindsey and I know her very well,
being married to her, and the guests that she have
have lived with, dealt with treated people living in pain,
and that's what she does. He lives in chronic pain
twenty four to seven and it's really difficult to live with.
So what she did is create the Pain Game podcast
(23:57):
to help others and with that she helps herself. Every
episode ends with a message of hope, and you're going
to quickly understand the show is about giving pain purpose.
I know that sounds weird, but you'll understand when you
listen to the show. The Pain Game Podcast Season three
is wrapping up soon. The next episode is about turning trauma,
(24:18):
because this is about pain and trauma, turning trauma into
triumph with San Diego attorney al Alreen hay Quist, who's
twenty three years experience fighting for women who have endured
sexual abuse, harassment, discrimination, and she's recovered millions for her clients,
including taking on President Trump and getting the Trump University's
(24:42):
victims compensated.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
So she's really good.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
So this it's worth a male female. If you have
someone in your life who is suffering from chronic pain,
you really want to jump on this.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
And unfortunately you even lose people.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Too many people of chronic pain dies or they commit suicide.
It's that tough. So listen to the show wherever you
listen to podcasts, The Pain Game Podcast, The Pain Game Podcast.

and welcome back. Handle on the law marginal legal advice. Hi, Devin,
Hey devenu there?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yes, Yes, can you hear me? I, sir, can't? Can
you hear me?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I sure can't about that?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
No, It's okay, I have I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I have two legal questions. One is an uninhabitable question
and living conditions, and the other is about the lemon
lows in California.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Number one on the h body two thousand, Leving used
to BMW. That was July the twenty ninth this year,
and then September the thirtieth, the transmission completely blew up.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Okay, all right, Devin, let me let me let me
ask some real quick. I'm gonna interrupt you for a moment, sir,
and that is let's start with, did you buy it
from a dealership?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Yes? It was?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Okay, good, that helps, sir, okay. And so the transmission
goes out, well, just a few months after the you
buy the.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Car, right, yes, sir, okay, about forty forty five days
the car goes the train.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Okay, fair enough. And the year of the car, and
what's the what what's the year of the car?
Speaker 5 (28:37):
It's a two thousand and it was a two thousand
and he lived in bm W.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's the issue. Uh is
the car is that old? So if it was, if
it was three or four years old, you'd be okay.
So I'm gonna here's the advice I'm gonna give you.
I do commercials for a Lemon law lawyer, and that's
the specialty that you want to talk to, and they'll
obviously talk to you for free. The only issue you
(29:04):
have is the age of the car and how far
back the Lemon law goes. And I don't think it's statutory.
It maybe where it says it's six years or five years.
I don't know the answer to that. But that's an
easy answer to get with a Lemon law lawyer. But
you have to make sure you go to a Lemon
law lawyer because it is a specialty onto itself. So
how's that for advice? Talk to a lawyer knows what
(29:26):
the hell he's doing. Now your next question.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Okay, my next question. You know I've been calling you
for about two years now dealing with this landlord situation
and have living conditions, the roaches, the mold, the road
and infestation. We went to court the lenn the judge
told the landlord he needed to mediate the mold, right
(29:50):
coach is YadA YadA. He ends up painting over the
mold and oh.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I remember that, Yeah, I remember that. And I
told you to just stop paying the rent. Either move
out and you can can you hit him from moving
expenses or just stop paying the rent?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Yes, So I will tell you with the marginal legal
advice you did give, you don't get enough credit because
he ended up offering me fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, no, that's what happened. They have to Yeah, yeah,
that's the way it works. The lost pretty stiff. You
can't have a vote, you can't have mice running around
and eating your kids.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah, well that's true. Now this is the issue. This
is okay, So I am suing. I am suing the landlord. Okay,
I'm taking him to court. I just finished my deposition
here about two weeks ago. Uh huh. It's been about
sixty days since I've moved out. Number one, he hasn't
returned to security deposit. And number two, I'm just curious
(30:48):
what's the outcome in the case.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
That's going to be.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I mean, he's not going to return the security deposit.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It's all part of the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
All of it is part of the lawsuit. So the
outcome is you're probably going to get some money, and
some pretty good money.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
So you're gonna do okay.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
And the attorney said she wanted to start at one
hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, I know, but that's just an attorney saying yeah,
that's just an attorney saying one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
I don't know why it wasn't fifteen million. That's just
an attorney blown smoke. But you're going to get thousands
of dollars. You are going to get thousands of dollars,
no question about that. Before we go, I want to
talk about your bad breath. Don't get too close to
(31:29):
the speaker because the speaker might actually melt. And so
I'm going to suggest which I do and have for well,
I've known these people as Zelman's for thirty years. I
mean this is family, and a couple of years now
I've been talking about Zelman's mintee Mouth because well they
created Zelmons and it's all about your breath and having
(31:52):
fresh breath, which most of us want fresh, clean breath
that lasts for hours and hours. And here's what Zelman's.
It's a little capsule that has parsley seed oil in it.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It's covered with mint, nice strong mint.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
So you pop two or three in your mouth and
you suck on the mint part like any other mint.
Then you swallow the capsule and it goes to work
in your gut. Because a lot of people don't realize
bad breadth also comes from your stomach. I mean, the
food goes down there, the garlic, the onions, and it
burns and it churns, and the acids in your stomach
and that creates bad breath too, and Zelmans takes care
(32:27):
of that also, and no mint in the world does that.
So Zelman's, where do you get it? Not at Walmart,
not a Trader Joe's, not a costco. You know where
you get it at Zelmans dot com, z E L
M I N S Zellmans dot com.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
This is Handle on the Law.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty
You're listening to KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio f and Good Morning
Bill Handle Here it is a Saturday morning.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Three fun hours.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
If I handle on the law, complete total humiliation of
you by me, if I can. Sometimes it's the other
way around, depending on the phone call number here, since
we start the show and the top of the hour
always the best time to call. Sometimes we're jammed and
(00:35):
you can't get in for an hour and a half.
So if you'd like to ask a marginal legal question
and to get a marginal legal answer, the number is
eight hundred five to zero one five three four eight
hundred five two zero one five three four, And the
rules of the game are as always the same. If
(00:57):
you are completely unintelligible cannot be understood, you're right there
at the top of the list. If you are without limbs,
let's say you are a quadruple amputee, that's good stuff too,
although it's kind of hard to dial the phone.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Although who dials anymore now?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Just go hey Siri and theoretically answers the phone, although
mine takes forever. And if you are of an ethnicity
that I can make fun of right there top of
the list too, so it's all good. The number eight
hundred five two zero one five three four eight hundred
five two zero one five three four. Keep in mind
(01:36):
this is marginal legal advice. Now before I jump into
the show. I'm not a baseball watcher. I am not
a fan of baseball. But man, last night that Dodger game, Hey,
how about them Dodgers. I gotta tell you, I watched
this saying and show, hey, Otani, who they can't speak
(01:57):
highly enough of, probably is going to be the player
in the history of the game both a pitcher and
a and a hitter, and now feeler and a hitter,
and the guy is unbelievable, unbelievable. I think last time
there was a pitcher and a hitter that either one
was a premier position in that position was I think
(02:20):
it was Babe Ruth until he gave up pitching. So
show heyo Tani both ways. Three homers, six strikeouts. Man,
that's something. Okay, that's enough sports talk. I don't do
sports talk, by the way, just to let you know,
but had to do it this time around. Also, here's
a fun contract. Seven hundred million dollars over ten years,
(02:42):
not bad, not bad. You could do worse. The number
eight hundred five two zero one five three fours a
number to call. Eight hundred five two zero one five
three four. And we want to ramp up and get
going on this as quickly as possible. Eight hundred and
five two zero one five three four. Okay, let's do it.
(03:07):
This is handle on the law, marginal legal advice where
I tell you have absolutely no case. I love church
church leaders who go south, and you know molest kids.
Not the molestation part, I mean, that's horrific. But I'm
talking about their fall from grace. And for some reason,
(03:31):
it seems to be the more fundamentalist Christian they are
talking morality and family values, it's the more entertaining it
is when they fall. And by the way, it has happened
to a number of them. And here is the latest
out of Oklahoma. There is a megachurch in actually is
(03:55):
a Texas megachurch founder Robert Morris, and he pleaded guilty
in an Oklahoma court to sex crimes against a girl.
The sex crime started in nineteen eighty two and continued
for years. He's sixty four years old. Entered guilty please
to five felon accounts of lude or indecent acts to
(04:15):
a child. Now here's the part that I just don't get.
He's going to serve six months in county jail and
then be put on probation for nine years.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And six months.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
How when you plead guilty to five felony counts of
lud indecent acts to a child, you only are in
jail for six months. He has to register as a
sex offender and has to pay two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars in restitution to the victim.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Where he's gonna get.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, I have no idea,
And that's what happens these insane restitution numbers. Like the
guy who has been arrested and has been charged with
starting the Palisades fire here in southern California, nine thousand
or sixteen thousand homes and structures went up and twelve
(05:13):
people died.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He's going to pay restitution, of course he is.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Another thing about this is the Megatures founder Robert Morris
did not apologize in court. He pled guilty to molesting
this young girl or by now she's an adult, and
didn't apologize at all. Now he's a convicted felon. Of course,
(05:40):
the sentence was suspended, and if he violates the conditions
of probation, he goes right back to court, which is
generally the same. So he admitted or Morris admitted the wrongdoing.
I remember he pled guilty but did not apologize. After
the victim and she allowed her name to be you,
(06:00):
Cindy Klemishire spoke to a blog called the wart Berg Watch,
a blog about sexual abuse within the church, and she
decided to come forward publicly. Usually they do not release
names of victims, and she wants to encourage others who
may be victims to tell their stories. And I'll tell
(06:22):
you right now, you bet there are others. You bet
there are. And she went on to say, and to him,
now she gave a victim statement.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
She's in court staring right at him.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
When you built a megachurch, authored books, gain fame, I
dropped out of college, endured, endured divorces, and struggled with
self worth. Yeah, while you twisted your crimes into a
story of infidelity to protect your image. My family and
I were left trying to explain the truth to pastors
(06:57):
who look the other way. Yeah, that's a fun one too.
The Catholic Church rightly was nailed beyond nailed on that one,
where you have the priests who were caught molesting usually
young boys over years and years, and the church protected
them knowing that they did that. Now, to be fair
(07:19):
to the Catholic Church, it has changed around completely. Now
it takes every allegation very seriously. All right, enough of that.
I can't believe it was only six months in jail. However,
since he molested a minor. You know, you can get
two weeks if you're in the general population, and it's
(07:40):
not going to be pleasant. Where we get shanked, you
may very well die or seriously get injured. All right,
let's do it. Paul, Hello, Paul, welcome.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yes, sir, how are you go ahead?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I have a question for you. I bought a life
insurance policy recently. I did the process to the phone,
the application process to the phone. I was asked a
series of questions and one of the questions specifically, was
about my cholesterol, and I told him that I had
been diagnosed with cholesterol. Correct. So when I got the
(08:24):
policy in the mail, I went through to the to
the questionnaire and I saw that he had answered that
I did not have the high cholesterols. So I'm wondering
if that's going to affect the coverage in some way or.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Okay, let me ask.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Let me throw a couple of questions at you. How big?
How big is the policy?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Paul?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Two hundred and fifty All right, two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And what the agent probably did because he's on commission
is slide through that to make sure that you got
the policy now for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Is that enough to argue? Well, here is what you're
looking at. The problem is is let's say you die
(09:15):
because of some issue related to high cholesterol, for example,
a stroke or a heart attack.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
That may be an issue.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
So the other side of it is if you go
in and say, oh, no, I have high cholesterol, they
may not accept you or charge higher premiums. So sort
of six and one half a dozen of the other.
If it is wrong the application, because you're supposed to
look at it carefully, and there is an error and
we're talking about your health, they could bounce it. They could,
(09:49):
so you know, you're better off dying of something else.
How's your relationship with your.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Are you married?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I am married?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, you are married?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Kids?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yes, sir, I do I have kids?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
How old? How old are the kids?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Twenty four, seventeen and twelve?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
All right, well, I'm just going to suggest an easier
way for you to family to collect is simply to,
you know, stick a gun in your mouth and blow
your brains out. Then they can't argue collect. Then they
cannot argue cholesterol. So don't die of a heart attack,
don't die of a stroke, you know, if you're gonna die,
step in front of an Amazon car truck or whatever.
(10:31):
I don't know if they're going to say anything or not.
And the other situation is no, I'll tell you the
guy who sent you the policy is going to lie
about what you said over the phone.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You know what. I don't know which way to go.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Can they bounce you, yeah, and say you misrepresented your
health and you died of exactly what we asked you,
and you said that you didn't have that problem. So
it's your choice.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I know that's of a weird answer, but it's so yeah,
or an equivocal answer or equivocal answer. All right, let's
go ahead and take our first break. This is Handle
on the Law, kay Fie. Handle here on Saturday morning,
number eight hundred five two zero one five three four
(11:20):
eight hundred five two zero one five three four and
welcome back. Handle on the Law, Marginal Legal Advice.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Alan.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Hello, Alan, welcome to the program.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Thanks Bill. My question is should I have my attorney
draw up a document that with one of my grandchildren.
I want to give them their inheritance now, but that
grandchild needs to know that that's all they're going to get.
Long story short, eight grand they'll go ahead, sir, Yeah, No, you.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Don't have to. No, you don't need an attorney. You
just you know what you do.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You tell them, hey, I'm going to give you some
money now, you're not going to be in the will.
And what you do is you have an attorney right
the trust or the will because you have to specifically
disinherit him, because if you're leaving all the grandkids money
and he doesn't get the money, that he is going
(12:20):
to sue for under the will. What you want to
do is very carefully say that you are being disinherited
under this will, and then you add the language because
you already receive the money. Henry Ford, not Henry Ford.
Oh my god, oh god, I forgot Can you imagine
(12:43):
I forgot this name? Big actor? Wow? By just one
of those mind breaks. But anyway, okay, major actor, and
I'll get the name and you're gonna know exactly what
I'm talking about. His daughter also a huge actress. She
was in clute and the name just draws me. So anyway,
(13:03):
he left a pile of money and didn't leave a dinder. Yes,
thank you, Henry Fonda, thank you much. And his daughter.
So he left a pile of money to his family
and disinherited her, and did so by saying, she is
well off, she makes enough money that she doesn't need
(13:26):
my money. So it wasn't a I want to disinherit.
It was just explained why he disinherited her in a
good way.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
What ends up happening. And here is the way. Here
the way the rules work.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
If you have eight grandkids and you leave one out,
that one out is going to can come right back
and contest everything and say you forgot to put me in.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I'm entitled.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I mean, that's just happens, especially if you're talking a
large sum of money. That part you want that part.
You want to get an attorney to right. So yeah,
I would get in attorney or a to write either
a trust or a will under that for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Robert, Hello, Robert, welcome.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
I have got a couple of buildings in Los Angeles
that are innundated with homeless encampment and has been that
way for five years. And this year, well this is
nobody has come out from the city. They've made four
different appointments to come out and clean this year. I've
driven down there and waited all day for them to
(14:32):
show up. They never showed up four different times, and
I keep talking to them. I don't know. It's terrible.
The homeless are dumping laws, sewage daily in the streets,
stealing electricity from the poles, stealing water from the fire hydrants,
and the trash in some places is taller than six feet.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Okay, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And the city won't come out and do anything, which
they don't do. And when they do, these people come
right back. Are they on your property?
Speaker 4 (15:04):
No rights?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
The streets?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Street?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So yeah, yeah, that's that is that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Because if they were near your property, say a sidewalk
in front of your property, even on it.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I mean they're not.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
The authorities aren't going to do anything anymore. Sometimes they do.
I just say, you clean the sidewalk with a with
a high pressure hose six times a day, but across
the street and the city won't do anything about it. God,
that's a mess. Are they Are they in front of
other properties, other apartment buildings, businesses?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yes, okay, well are.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They doing Are they doing anything?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Are they doing anything? The owners of the buildings across
the street, they try and they call the authorities too,
and they call the authorities too.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Right, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Well, I'm going to go.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's it's a mess when when the authorities don't want
to do anything and they're overwhelmed, I mean totally overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And I had that happen in my house.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But it's it was a pretty nice neighborhood, and I
was very lucky because a city councilman happened to live
in my neighborhood. So there was an encampment under the
bridge where I get off the freeway and I go
under the overpass, huge encampment there cleaned up almost immediately.
(16:30):
But that was a councilman who lived in the neighborhood.
You know, all you can do is keep on trying.
I mean, there's and even if they rouse those people,
you just need as much pressure. Have you talked to
the city councilman who represents your district.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Emails? Yes, and they're representatives.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
You know you keep I think you keep on pushing,
You keep on pushing, and mentioned that you're a constituent
and you say to that that that the office, because
they always have a representative and ambundsman that does voter
relations is say hey, you know what, I'm gonna go
crazy to make sure that this guy is not elected.
(17:11):
You've got an enemy on your hands. You have to
help your constituents. That's basically all you can do. You
can get restraining orders. Okay, now what so the police
come in, they uphold the restraining order, out, they go.
Next day they come back in. So you know, there's
no good answer that I mean, I I'm fine that
there's no good answer because my neighborhood is great.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So I mean, do I really care? This is Handle
on the Law.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
KFI AM six forty Bill Handle here Saturday morning, phone
number eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
Eight hundred five two zero one five three four. Now
we are off to a fairly slow start this morning.
Sometimes not sometimes yes, So let me do this, Sam,
Let's give a preview, hold on a minute of what's
(18:07):
going to happen in the event people call up. See,
this is one of the things I love doing this show.
I really do. But I'm unfortunately at your beck and call.
This is why I don't take phone calls Monday through
Friday on my show. I just talk and I'm not
going to talk for three hours on Saturday. I'm done
talking by Friday. And no, nope, nope, close enough. Yeah,
(18:30):
maybe we should cut to the traffic. But anyway, the
phone number is eight hundred five two zero one five
to three four. And if you don't call, you know
what happens. Sam's correct, That's correct. Okay, that was just
an intro as to what's going to happen. All right,
fair enough, eight hundred five two zero one five to
(18:52):
three four.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Let's go to it. Let's go through the phone calls.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Welcome back, Handle on the Law Mark Legal Advice. Veronica, Hello, Veronica,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Hi Bill, I'm renting a very expensive condo in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Okay, what's what's what's expensive.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
About four thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Now, I want to make a point here for people
that are listing in other parts of the country. Four
thousand dollars, As Veronica says.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It's very expensive.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It may be a lot of money, which it is,
but relative to the cost of rentals in southern California,
that is not outrageous.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Now, if you go to Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
For example, what you're going to get is a six
bedroom house on five acres of land with three cars
on cinder blocks in the front yard instead of just one,
and all the possums doew you could ever eat? So
moving on, moving on, Okay, four thousand do month condo,
(20:01):
And what's going on?
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Well, the dishwasher is not working. It came furnished with
a dishwasher.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
No refrigerator.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
S by a big refrigerator, but the dishrushers, you know,
it's all rusty.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
It feels like a safety hazard.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
And I want to know if the landlord's responsible for
changing that or do I have to replace it. I
would say, I would say the landlord is responsible, and
I'll tell you why, because he supplied it. If he
did not supply it, you'd be responsible because that's not
considered a true necessity. Incidentally, they just changed the law
(20:36):
in La County or maybe the state of California, in
which now landlords must supply a refrigerator because too often,
like in your case, Veronica, here comes the apartment or
the condo, no refrigerator, and you now buy a refrigerator.
So let's say you now have to move someplace else.
(20:57):
The hassle of moving a refrigerator is astronomical, and there's
a good chance that a rental has a refrigerator refrigerator there,
So you're in the minority. So I would say, yeah,
and have you contacted your landlord and saying this is
a rusty old piece of crap and I'm paying four
thousand dollars a month, not yet, but I want to
(21:21):
gus what you want to do. Yeah, No, that's what
you want to do legally. Yeah, I think he does
because he offered it. It's part of the apartment or
the condo, and you bought it and where you bought
everything that was in it, and it all has to work.
If he didn't supply one, eh, you know, he doesn't
(21:42):
have to buy law supply one, but all, who's going
to rent a you know, four thousand dollars place without
a dishwasher? Frankly, I'm shocked that he didn't put in
a refrigerator there that you brought in your own. How
much have you spent for the fridge?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I think there's.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
About four thousand dollars for the.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Four dollars for a fridge.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Wow, So what happens if well, you got one of
the top top top ones. So let me ask you,
what do you do when you leave there and you
go someplace else because you're renting, What do you do
with your What do you do with your four thousand
dollars refrigerator?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I'm going to sleep?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, no kidding. See, that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
That's why the law now says refrigerators I have to
be offered because that is the big issue.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So how long have you been in How long have
you been in your condo?
Speaker 6 (22:31):
I said, smart?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
So a little over six months.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
If you'd waited six months and just bought one of
those Igloo coolers for six months, you would have been fine.
You would have gotten a new refrigerator. Anyway, that's the answer.
A couple of things are absolutely mandatory, and that is
the heating has to work.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That's by law, no issue. You have to have hot water.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You can't have leaks, you can't have broken windows that
the landlord must fix.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
That.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Dishwashers, No, doesn't even have to supply one, but if
he does, you your rental includes a working dishwasher.

Hey devenu there?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yes, Yes, can you hear me? I, sir, can't? Can
you hear me?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I sure can't about that?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
No, It's okay, I have I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I have two legal questions. One is an uninhabitable question
and living conditions, and the other is about the lemon
lows in California.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Number one on the h body two thousand, Leving used
to BMW. That was July the twenty ninth this year,
and then September the thirtieth, the transmission completely blew up.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Okay, all right, Devin, let me let me let me
ask some real quick. I'm gonna interrupt you for a moment, sir,
and that is let's start with, did you buy it
from a dealership?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Yes? It was?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Okay, good, that helps, sir, okay. And so the transmission
goes out, well, just a few months after the you
buy the.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Car, right, yes, sir, okay, about forty forty five days
the car goes the train.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Okay, fair enough. And the year of the car, and
what's the what what's the year of the car?
Speaker 5 (28:37):
It's a two thousand and it was a two thousand
and he lived in bm W.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's the issue. Uh is
the car is that old? So if it was, if
it was three or four years old, you'd be okay.
So I'm gonna here's the advice I'm gonna give you.
I do commercials for a Lemon law lawyer, and that's
the specialty that you want to talk to, and they'll
obviously talk to you for free. The only issue you
(29:04):
have is the age of the car and how far
back the Lemon law goes. And I don't think it's statutory.
It maybe where it says it's six years or five years.
I don't know the answer to that. But that's an
easy answer to get with a Lemon law lawyer. But
you have to make sure you go to a Lemon
law lawyer because it is a specialty onto itself. So
how's that for advice? Talk to a lawyer knows what
(29:26):
the hell he's doing. Now your next question.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Okay, my next question. You know I've been calling you
for about two years now dealing with this landlord situation
and have living conditions, the roaches, the mold, the road
and infestation. We went to court the lenn the judge
told the landlord he needed to mediate the mold, right
(29:50):
coach is YadA YadA. He ends up painting over the
mold and oh.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I remember that, Yeah, I remember that. And I
told you to just stop paying the rent. Either move
out and you can can you hit him from moving
expenses or just stop paying the rent?
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Yes, So I will tell you with the marginal legal
advice you did give, you don't get enough credit because
he ended up offering me fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, no, that's what happened. They have to Yeah, yeah,
that's the way it works. The lost pretty stiff. You
can't have a vote, you can't have mice running around
and eating your kids.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah, well that's true. Now this is the issue. This
is okay, So I am suing. I am suing the landlord. Okay,
I'm taking him to court. I just finished my deposition
here about two weeks ago. Uh huh. It's been about
sixty days since I've moved out. Number one, he hasn't
returned to security deposit. And number two, I'm just curious
(30:48):
what's the outcome in the case.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
That's going to be.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I mean, he's not going to return the security deposit.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It's all part of the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
All of it is part of the lawsuit. So the
outcome is you're probably going to get some money, and
some pretty good money.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
So you're gonna do okay.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
And the attorney said she wanted to start at one
hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, I know, but that's just an attorney saying yeah,
that's just an attorney saying one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
I don't know why it wasn't fifteen million. That's just
an attorney blown smoke. But you're going to get thousands
of dollars. You are going to get thousands of dollars,
no question about that. Before we go, I want to
talk about your bad breath. Don't get too close to
(31:29):
the speaker because the speaker might actually melt. And so
I'm going to suggest which I do and have for well,
I've known these people as Zelman's for thirty years. I
mean this is family, and a couple of years now
I've been talking about Zelman's mintee Mouth because well they
created Zelmons and it's all about your breath and having
(31:52):
fresh breath, which most of us want fresh, clean breath
that lasts for hours and hours. And here's what Zelman's.
It's a little capsule that has parsley seed oil in it.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It's covered with mint, nice strong mint.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
So you pop two or three in your mouth and
you suck on the mint part like any other mint.
Then you swallow the capsule and it goes to work
in your gut. Because a lot of people don't realize
bad breadth also comes from your stomach. I mean, the
food goes down there, the garlic, the onions, and it
burns and it churns, and the acids in your stomach
and that creates bad breath too, and Zelmans takes care
(32:27):
of that also, and no mint in the world does that.
So Zelman's, where do you get it? Not at Walmart,
not a Trader Joe's, not a costco. You know where
you get it at Zelmans dot com, z E L
M I N S Zellmans dot com.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
This is Handle on the Law.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
