No, I got to use my phone though. You know that I know and I we'll get that phone up here. We'll get a long story, long story. What we're trying to do is work it out so we can go live.

Well, we can go live from the studio right now with a photo with the picture, but when we all want to go and originate for the studio, that's what we're working on. Anyway, Welcome to the show. And it's sus that. Did I hear Sue's John on the phones?

Time? Oh?

Okay, Susan is on the phones? Did did Kachina have too many mimosas? Or what?

Something?

Today's town? All right, So Chris wants to talk about selling real estate and what is happening Chris, what's going on?

I have a really unique rush to cabin in Douglas County, and I'm wondering the best way to advertise her or find the right fire.

Rustic cabin where is it?

Twenty minutes from home depot in Castle Rock, and it's completely secluded. It's got no neighbors. It's round up by true many rand.

How many acres?

It is? Not acres? It is zero point three six acres and another property ero point four acres. Everybody else there is forty acres or so.

Oh so that's why. That's why it's secluded. What is a Douglas County? Where is it?

Up Highway sixty seven?

Where the part give us an area Douglas? It sounds like Douglas.

Okay, it's past magicalch If I tell you the name of the area its I'll just tell you the name. It's by Elephant Rock if you ever heard of that? And the view of Elephant Rock is from my driveway. Is where you can see Elephant Rock?

Okay, I don't know where that is marked you but an a a case. I don't have a clue. I'm just going as Douglas County. I want to know a few things. Is it off grid?

It's got completely off grid. It's got no upgradestill it.

It's off grid. How do you get power? How do you get power?

Right?

Not?

I have solar, but I'll take it out when I leave, so I don't have the liability off it. Somebody will elect your well.

Hold on a second, First of all, there would be no liability to sol the solar system you're not going to have are you going to have? Like, let me get this straight. So you're going to sell this off grid? No electricity, no running water, nothing correct, No water, no plumbing, no bathroom.

Nothing correct. But one of the things I always heard was by the cheapest property in the nicest neighborhood. I think that's.

Got that down, pat brother, But let me get but I still come on, man, we still have to ask some very obvious questions. There's very few people, very few people will want a cabin with no running water, no bathroom, and no power. Okay, Ted Kaczynski comes to mind. No, no, seriously, very few people are going to want that because and and what does your does your solar system provide regular electricity?

Itoks?

Do you own?

Go ahead?

Do you own the solar system? Or are you leasing it?

It's a piece together.

It sounds like a homemade deal.

Man.

Oh, never mind, that is okay, It probably is better taking it out of there. Well, okay, on a tiny lot on a tiny lot off grid? How many square feet does the cabin four hundred? Yeah, it's it's you don't have a lot of value there, I mean, but but I don't know who you would get. Let let's think about this. I want to should we call called Frank? Do you think, well, that's totally out of his that's totally out of it. But he might have ideas well. Chris.

Already, he says he called Frank. What did Frank have to say?

Frank said he all talked off and that it's not something he does, but he might have a contact.

I wonder if Stephanie would do Stephanie Ari, isn't she or Stephanie Thomas, you know Stephanie ri dot com. I think it's probably too far.

Chris.

Are you allowed to build a home on this property?

You mean is it a real building? Is it a real building lot? That's a good point. Is it a real building?

Crape the cabin and build a small hall?

Is it a real building lot?

Would the county allow you to do that?

Or the buyer to do that?

It's a house there now to him? They text me on a residential house.

So wait a minute, what do you mean you're talking about the cabin. Yes, No, here's what I'm asking Can you knock down that cabin and put up a real house? Would they allow that?

Well, that's what I'm asking to I would not see why not?

Okay?

Yeah, well there.

Where is the closest Where is the closest power Where is the closest utility? Well, no, you would have to do a well.

Right, Well, he's surrounded by forty acre home sites.

I mean, yeah, where's the closest where's the closest power grid? If you wanted to bring power.

In, I'm going to say one thousand feet.

Oh okay. Have you ever inquired as to bringing in that?

No?

And I would never do it.

I don't even think so. I don't think on that size of a lot you can even put a well and a septic. You don't have that much separation.

No, okay, I'm pretty sure I can put a well. When I bought it, it was discussed and if a property is under forty acres and was subdivided before nineteen seventy two, it can qualify for a small household.

Well yeah, but where are you going to put the septic?

Now that the septic? I'm not sure, and I always thought i'd put an inCider writing toilet in Right now for septic, we've got poortofoc comes out empties to thing.

Well, okay, then what about what about showers and stuff? How much did you what about gray water? Where would you put gray water?

And a sister? I don't have the answer to these questions.

No, No, that's why I'm asking. I'm asking to see if you do or didn't. I mean, that's what I'm doing, that's all. And how much did you pay for it?

I bought it from a hermit and it was never on the market, so I still got a good deal on it.

God, you are so elusive. How much did you pay for it? Is that an answer?

I paid for both for both properties, I paid thirty five dollars twenty one years ago.

You're not going to get much more, I mean truly. I mean, you really don't have a lot there. But that doesn't mean it's worthless. For goodness sakes, that doesn't.

That's why I'm calling to try and find the right buyer. I know my buyer is real limited, but it's got a whole lot of positives.

Give me some positives, because you're puzzling me, give me a positive.

So I'm just it's one hundred and fifty year old cabin. It was a stage stop. It's got hands huing beams in it. Yeah, I'm waiting.

Waiting for the positive. Okay, what's that.

It's at some place you can live. If somebody is in their RV, they can go park their RV in the driveway and live in the cabin and use all the facilities and there's they can build a new home on there. We've used it and enjoyed it for twenty one years, sweating. It's got a stream originating on the property.

Okay, Chris, is their phone and internet service in your home?

Any communications service?

My key mobile cell phone works fine, and the star Wink I imagine works fine.

Oh okay, if you have electricity again, this is a challenge. It's not worthless, that's for sure. How much are you mentally thinking you're going to get out of this? People always have an idea, and if you say you don't, you do how much?

Joe, I'm thinking it's worth at waste two hundred thousand.

You're dreaming in fairyland. You're in fairyland and I could bake Oh my god. Well, first of all, a building lot up there wouldn't be worth that. You have a tiny, tiny postage stamp of a lot and you have a four hundred foot What is the cabin made of? Logs?

Logs?

Okay? Is it a real log cabin? I mean, was it built well or what?

It was a real log cabin? And half of what was an edition put on?

I'm going to tell you that if you got two hundred thousand dollars, I would be as shocked as if Kamala Harris wins in a landslide victory. That's how shocked I would be. Now, No, seriously, a mark, Come on, man, we know enough, We know enough about property. What's thee okay? How about something real simple? What's the address?

Man?

Can I at least try to look at it on a satellite or something.

I give you the air dress. I don't want somebody random driving.

I don't blame you for giving to us off the air, Chris, give it to us off the air. Hold on, We're gonna take a break. Give it to us off the air. But it's three oh three seven one three talk three oh three seven to one three eight two five five. Go with a sure thing Denver's best roofer Excel Roofing dot com. You don't pay a cent until you're content.

I haven't had a chance to look the property yet, but I am familiar with Sedelia.

Is it Sedalia? Basically? Yeah, it's definitely yes. And Mark, you say, can you send me a picture that you.

I'll send you the best I can. It's very odd if you go to the listings, Stephanie. I don't know how they did this, but you can find the address on Zillow realtor dot com. But when you go there, they blanked out the picture of the house on all of them. But I did find one picture of it. How do they do that? And why do they do that? Out of curiosity?

You know, sometimes I see photos removed from listings after they've sold to kind of protect the privacy of the new homeowner, like the interior finish and that kind of thing. I do see that quite often.

I'm listing, and.

This would be you know, with no water, no electricity that this would not be something you'd get a traditional mortgage on.

This would be a cash.

Yeah, you'd looking at cash. I did, actually because I heard you guys chatting about it. I'm in between appointments and have you guys on actually, And I reached out to one of my lenders who's pulled up a couple loan types and said, no, it would not be financiable without utilities.

Yeah, well unless you did, like a signature loan or something else. I mean, it's not going to have a mortgage. I mean people could borrow money to buy it. But it's nothing traditional in other words, correct.

Yeah, and anytime you go in and do something like that, you're limiting your fire pole further than you would.

Oh, this is this thing needs to.

Be marketed to like people that uh you know, I'm trying to think of a nice way to put it, like like the UNI bomber and stuff like that.

Yeah, you know, it's not completely abnormal. I've seen stuff like that up in Teller Counties. It's not abnormal to see some off gride properties, but it is a rather small buire pool of people who would be looking for something like that.

You know, I'd level it.

I I can't sing on property.

The property could be worth a ton time. I mean, I don't know what the property is worth. The house itself I don't think has any value. I'm going to send you a picture of it.

Yeah, and it may just be a landlot have Yeah, but.

The tiny, tiny lot that's off grid, what's that going to be worth? I mean, come on, well, if.

You could put up a nice pen, yeah, honestly, if you could put up a nice tiny house or something.

That was well, okay, so Stephanie, what is your gut on a lot that's small?

I didn't catch the size of the law. I turned on when you guys were already talking about it.

Okay, let's bring them up. Let's bring them up. What size is your lot, sir?

Oh to watch ninety by three hundred.

Yeah, that's going to be pretty tiny.

So just patting.

I know a builder, for instance, up here that does you know, manufactured some of those small modular homes being.

One hundred and eighty by six hundred is what we're talking.

Yeah, and they typically want half an acre in order to install septic and well, because you have certain distances, I know.

And that's exactly that's exactly the point I'm making. Yeah, And so he's saying, well, put an incinerator, toilet in and all this. I mean, you know, let's just be honest. He thought he's going to get two hundred grand. I think that's that's that's Disneyland.

Billo shows it at a Bucks seventy five. Oh, come on, God almighty.

If anyone okay, here's what I want to know, be aware of anyone will that'll pay that much money. Beware of them because they they they're morons. No, I'm sorry, YouTube morons. I didn't mean to assault you.

But well, you know, land has different value different areas, and like I said, i'd have to really look at the exact area. I've seen some properties out in Sedalia get quite high. I've also seen properties that aren't as much. You know, that's not my primary area, but I am pretty familiar with it. It really just appezs. But it sounds like there's a lot of unique things going on with this property that.

Hey, caller, does it have water rights or mineral rights or anything abnormal?

Oh no, I'm sorry to say that.

So if you have.

Water rights, you probably got a deed for that with your purchase, and a lot of times I in my experience, I've seen them conveyed via separate deed, so like a special warranty deed for the water rights specifically, so you would have potentially a second deed for that. But you might want to look back at your paperwork from when you purchase to see.

What you have.

You can pull an ownership and encumbrance report on title and see if anything comes up.

But the thing about minerals is not all mineral rights are going to be shown on title reports.

So a lot of times if a property does have something like that, you might need an attorney to go in and research it. So water rights and mineral rights, you know, they're not as typical with like our typical real estate contract.

Of course, of course, so in any case, the bottom line is, you know, maybe it's worth something. I mean, Mark, would you pay one hundred and seventy five for that? I know nothing about it. I mean my gut says no way. Jose. Well, as Amitri, you're in the market for a property in Douglas County and that you want something remote, just something to get away. Does that What does that sound like to you?

It sounds promising. I'm going to after the show to word price sounds promising to know. The price doesn't the property itself does. The price could be worked out later. But if Chris is okay with it, I'll give him a call at Arrench for a viewing tomorrow.

While we have Stephanie on Stephanie, how do you take a property as unique as this and even come up with the value. For God's sake, everything around it is forty acres with electricity and stuff. It's this little tiny lot with a house. It's one hundred plus years old or whatever.

He said.

You're not going to find anything like that to compare it to how do you get comps on it?

Well, this is where we'd have to call in a knowledgeable appraiser and probably have a prelisting appraisal because we definitely research as real estate agents, we research comps, and if there are no comps, then we can't expand out into a reasonable area to find comps. That's when you know, I would personally call an appraiser that I know to be knowledgeable with mountain properties and have somebody come in, you know, and do a little jigger deeping and you know, take a.

Peek there for us.

I have those prelisting appraisals on properties. You know, if they're not from the lender and the homeowners doing them, you can get them at a more reasonable dollar you know, maybe five six hundred bucks, you know, something like that. So it's worth it to go in and do that as your prelisting due diligence when you have no good information to price it on.

Okay, thank you very much. I mean I appreciate the information.

Steph.

Listen, sir, well would you list it? Would you be willing to list it? Let's just ask that That's what he called up about I'd.

Have to take a peek at the area and see if it's in my area. I do have MLS for that area, and like I said, it's it's kind of similar to where I am, so Susan off address. Yeah, I'd have to really do some begging to see it's something I.

Can assist with with.

Okay, well that's something, thank you very much. We appreciate that. So it could be something three oh three seven one three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five five. So we'll we'll check it out. And I hope you have I hope you have better luck selling it with somebody than than talking to me. I'm sorry. I just after years and years of dealing in real estate. Now I haven't been in it for a while, but god, I mean, there's got to be some value there or

Yeah, I was just trying to find out if.

They're reputable.

Right now?

Now, Okay, eb is eBay Motors reputable? Here's what I'm going to say to you. eBay Motors is as reputable as any place where they list cars. Autotrader, Dot or yeah, auto Trader or whatever cars dot com. What I mean by this, it's not the platform you have to worry about, but the people on the platform. And here's the biggest problem with eBay motors is when they lure you off the platform for a private deal. But it's under the

It's for my granddaughter and it's a twenty ten Maxima.

Now why two? Why specifically are you? Oh no, that's what you're looking at right now, I'm talking about in general. What are you looking for?

Oh, just a car for my granddaughter.

What is your budget?

My budget was is actually like up to above three thousand dollars.

You're not, Oh my god, Okay, let me just say something. I don't mean to be a killjoy, but no, no, I'm really serious. I'm really serious. You will not get a car worth I mean, I'm telling you it's going to cost you way more than that in repairs and maintenance. It is an impossibility to get a good running car.

I've heard you say that before.

For three I promise you this that for if you buy a car for five thousand or under, double the price and then double it again in the next three to five years, I absolutely be that.

That is jeebers.

Yeah. How many miles on this particular car?

Seventy two thousand or something?

And how much is it? How much is it?

It's only one thousand?

No, No, I'm sorry, no, no, no, yeah, it's seventy two thousand. I'll wait a minute. eBay Motors has a car on there with seventy two thousand miles. What year is it? A twenty ten?

Yeah?

And they want one thousand dollars.

Yeah.

And what raised my suspicion even more It said to pay with an Apple IF card.

Yeah. Okay, okay, Oh, thank you for calling. No, I'm so serious, Thank you so much. You didn't lose your money. Listen, No, no, I didn't. I'm going to let's talk cold hard facts of life. You're not going to find a car for her for three grand Let me ask you this does how old is she?

She's seventeen.

Does she have a job.

Yeah, she has a job and she goes. She's a senior in high school.

And this is your your niece. I'm sorry, your granddaughter. Okay, listen, the best you could do is put that money down on a car, on a new car, or a nearly new car, or a really good car to credit and have a car payment. Sheila, do you have any disposable income every month? Yeah?

And I mean I could, I could pay cash for a car. Actually, Okay, but I'm.

Going to tell you please don't buy a piece of junk. You know who would really take care of you. I swear he would. I mean, it's such a shortcut just to call Rodney over at JFR Cars. Tell him you're buying a car for your granddaughter. You need to save as much as possible, but you want something dependable and let him try to pick something for you. Okay, Rodney, JFR Cars, Sho's you got that number handy for her? You can give her off there.

He got it?

Yeah, I really because that thousand dollars with a gift card. I guarantee you it's a ripoff.

Absolutely no, I got suspicious.

Thank you. You know, I'm serious. Have you listened to the show before?

Oh yeah, all the time.

Thank you so much because you know what that means to me. That means that we've just saved you one thousand I know we did or more in problems and man, okay, thank you. I'm actually grateful that you fought to call us before, because Mark, we usually get these calls when when too late and they made a mistake and they lost money. And my goodness, we have more coming up on The Troubleshooter Show. Three ozho three seven one three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five

It blocked the thing in a red light. Anyways, what what did you? You didn't watch the rally last night?

Did you?

Man?

You were born in New York like I was, weren't you? Well? I think I was out doing stuff all night. I didn't have a chance, but I heard it was outrageously.

Twenty thousand plus inside full capacity Madison Square Garden on top of that regular Billy Joel and anywhere between twenty and fifty thousand outside. It was remarkable. Man, New Yorkers walking around like a one hundred thousand of them with red hats.

It's incredible. It's absolutely Let me ask you something. I'm serious now, and I'm serious. I'm asking truly. Do you feel this is a barometer when you see rallies or do you think it's just the diehards? And like, like, I don't know, I haven't been aware. Is Kamala Harris's rallies? Does she get a lot of people? I know she did with Beyonce, but I don't say didn't even sing no no, but that's because of Beyonce. How are her regular rallies? Are they attended boring as hell? But are

Man.

I mean I've never heard of anybody bringing in numbers like he did here in Denver.

Let's just talk about black rock concert. It was. It was awesome the one we went to.

But you know that was that I think what you saw, well you didn't see it, but last night was that that that last knockout, that that last blow to the head, that basically just put the nail in her coffin. I mean, it's remarkable. What was time to be in this country? It was that many people turning out in Manhattan? Yeah, yeah, Manhattan. Man In fact, did you see the Mayor Adams came out and actually said that Kamala and all this trash talk about him being hitler and stuff was horrible and

That has ever happened to this country. People get out and vote three all three seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five. We got a lot happening, So give us a call if you have a problem, question or complain. Let me go back to the phones and uh or I also have, of course people texting me, so let me go to that right here, right now, a lot of people texting. Okay, it says here, please

I paid a lot more with worse coverage and had to pay new doctors. Now, I mean, it's pretty strang Whenever.

People talk about the positives of Obamacare, and you hear this a lot on the mainstream news, or when people when people try to change it, here's what they say. They say, millions of people will lose access to quality medical care if you take away Obamacare or if you change it.

Now.

It did expand the one good thing it did, and I do think it wasn't bad our people in low income were able to get Medicaid more readily than they used to be able to, and it was based on income only. I don't but everything else when you had if you didn't get tax credits, and of course tax credits come from all of us, but if you didn't get tax credits, the high deductible plans were basically non insurance anyway. I mean, if you think about.

It, that's, you know what, I'd somewhat argue that. I think for a twenty year old somebody in good health that wants to basically either save his money or be able to buy his first house, now that he's forced to buy coverage that covers everything in the freaking world, including if you're a male, so you think to hide you have to be able to get an abortion. I mean, it's the craziest thing that Ever, what.

Are you disagree with? I said that the high deductible plans are really non insurance anyway for these people, because it's as tough for them to come up with six or eight grand as it is a million dollars for some of them.

Oh, I thought you were talking about how Obamacare got rid of plans that were just catastrophic because you couldn't get just hospital coverage.

More coming up, Go with a sure thing Denver's Best roofer Excel Roofing dot com. You don't pay a cent until you're contenth 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

Shooter's gonna help come Man.

Dix is the Troubleshooter Show. Now Tom Martino.

Hi, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five Here to help you solve problems, answer questions taking place, make your life just a little easier. And you know what's funny is I have a guy that always uh texts me when he hears major March major, and and he my text run about one to ten, ten in favor of well. Mark talks about ten U saying, excuse me, ten in favor and one every now and

Is uh.

He says, Mark is going on and on. This was about this was an earlier text. I'm just gonna prose these. Mark is going on and on about everybody attacking poor Trump. Nobody's attacking anybody else. I agree with you. I don't know what he means by that they are attacking each other. Okay, Now the other one says it sounds like Mark is bitter and upset with celebrities lining up to be to endorse Harris.

Who care?

What celect? Who the hell are these people? And then they says sixty minutes never changed. Kalama's answers, that was the conspiracy theory that was proven false. Well, they're full of crap. Whoever that is, I'd love you. I don't know who it is. I just have their their number. But anyway, I almost want Trump to win to see what happens. I'm sure the economy will go to s you know, as you know, and and then see what happens and what you guys have to say. Okay, by

And then it says here even if that was Donner Eric's freaking laptop.

Now I know, I you know, if you can't see the bias and media honesty, were these weird people text man? Now here's the other one. Meanwhile, Trump literally called Putin, sent him COVID tests and couldn't get them there. But we couldn't. We couldn't get him here, but he made sure his friend Putin had him. You can get that vaccine everywhere.

Though.

Let's ask all of that, right, let's all of that right, fake news. So this guy's truly has I mean, he's saying, you know, that was.

One guy that was all from one day. That's one guy. Well, that one guy. I hope you're listening. Your new nickname is butter Knife because you're not very sharp.

Now here's another one. USPS does not guarantee service for anything. I think this came from a call last week. Certified mail and registered mail with insurance attached might help. Then one guy says, I'm really surprised that you did not see that I had voted for three Republican candidates. Oh oh oh. This was a guy that sent me his ballot and I said it was and what it looked like. He's he did a straight democrat. I don't know why

And all those videos were probably AI putting together all this.

He says, it's rumor. Denying new denying news says that nothing is happening according to denying I'm doing. You realize people see through all this crap now.

In all honesty, man, people aren't as dumb as some people think.

You know what, I don't actually know that, Mark, I don't know if they do. I think a lot of people want it to be disproved because it feels better when it's not happened.

People know now, they know how fake the news is, they know how they're well just to set Trump up there.

By the way, your polls, the surveys of confidence in news media has gone years ago to a high of eighty eight percent down to right now thirty percent.

Well that's incredible, it's thirty I know people that won't even listen to CNN because they think it's too liberal now.

And I am not kidding now. One thing. I mean, people can't deny. I don't care who they are. Tell you where people can't deny? For sure? I think we no matter where what political ven you are, you can't deny that the news media, the general news media, the mainstream media, is absolutely positively in favor and biased for the democratic, progressive liberal parties. And they have been and they have been for years. They're kitty with them, they're them, Kitty,

I need some help. I am fighting toxic mold. Yes, I'm a dog, and I rented a space underneath a vet clinic for my dog room means salon, okay, And once I started there, I started getting symptoms, and I kept on getting sicker and thicker. And I was in that spot for twelve years.

And I was going to wait a minute, you've been renting this place for twelve years.

I did rent it for twelve years. I moved out a year ago.

And you're telling me that you started feeling these symptoms years ago, Yes, years ago, and so keep going with your story.

I couldn't find a doctor that would listen to me and take me serious.

So well, I'm going to I'll tell you. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why, because the vast majority of mold is not toxic. For one, I'm going to tell you why. I'm not saying that this is true for you. I am saying in the mold business, ninety eight percent of the mold is non toxic. And people have some sensitivities even to non toxic mold. But most mold, even toxic, you have to have constant exposure, which you had, and then you would have symptoms that they look at.

Chronic fatigue, nausea, migraine problems, sleeping.

That's not conducive to mold. Mold is mostly upper respiratory.

But it started that way with asthma and stuff and bronchitis.

And then may I ask something in Kitty? When I asked this, people get offended. I promise, I'm not trying to offend you. I promise you. I want to get to during this twelve years, what else was going on in your life?

Nothing? I was running a business and you were happy. I was happy.

Yes, okay, all right, yeah, okay.

So I think she was actually tested for toxic mold towards you.

Well, now that's different. That's different. Who tested you?

A doctor's office in Loveland testing me?

What kind of hold on? Hold on? What's the name of the clinic in Loveland, Restore Health Center?

I think they just changed names.

But and what do they do up there at that clinic? Are they mds?

He is an MD and their focus is functional medicine, so they can prescribe medication, but they can also they also do supplements.

And how did they and I want to know how they how did they do this for you? How did they do it?

It's a urine test that the it's a separate company. I mean, I don't know the name of the company off off the hend.

And what did they find?

They found toxic mold, they found issues with other like I have high levels of arsenic and I think aluminum different.

And what did they recommend.

To go through mold detox Oh?

Really, I thought?

So?

How much is that going to cost you? And your insurance won't cover it? Right, it won't cover it, of course it won't. And how much do they want for this? Yeah, I'm hearing quack quack, quack quack. I'd like to know. I'd like to know more about the lab. Now, exposure can be detected in urine for micro toxins. Okay, but but here's the deal, Okay, what they look for are

Well, so they wanted they wanted to put me on a couple of different supplements and I wasn't seeing any help.

What kind of supplements? By the way, it was a.

Binder, and I think it was NAC.

It's supposed to be good for you no matter what. But okay, so what was the binder? Do you know?

I don't know.

Let me ask you. Did they test you? Did they test you? I just want to ask you a test where you held supplements in your hand and they muscle tested you.

So yeah, I went to a new doctor because that one.

I was.

You know what, you're you're your your your symptoms in search of a diagnosis, and you're going to find more quacks, more quacks than if you went duck hunting. I'm telling you that that you're a being your you're being victimized. I don't care what anyone says. Muscle testing is a scam, and I can and I can prove it.

They're muscle proved by the FDA, and there's more scams on them than virtually anything out there on what mark on this.

Plantro micotoxin tests? Right, that's right, these tests. I'm good. So you look that up. I was just looking that up after I found out about the test. And and by the way, the FDA does not say Now, the FDA is not the end all we heard through COVID. Of course, they're not the best in the world. However, I will tell you that that that the symptoms you're having can be anything. Okay, it can also be depression. Okay. That's why I asked, what was going on in your life?

Do you have to say when these tests were done?

I had the test done last year, and the new doctor put me on supplements and I did clear it. I did clear it. Then I was exposed to a second round of toxic mold at the apartment that I was living at.

And so how did you know?

Wait?

Wait, how do you know the apartment you were living in had toxic mold?

I saw it on the walls.

Okay, how do you know? Hold on, how do you know it was toxic.

Because I could tell from the symptoms, because.

Okay, well you can't tell. You can't. You can't tell from the symptoms. You got to test the mold.

Tom you said something that she just simply didn't listen to. So I want to repeat it. You are looking for a diagnosis for something. People are going to rip you off left and right. Those tests are absolute garbage.

You know, I feel sorry for you. I know you didn't call by the way to get a lecture. I know you didn't, and I know you're going to go upset. And and that's why. You know, people give us bad ratings because they don't like what we say, and unfortunately for them, they get ripped off. We say things that are truthful. And I am telling you the biggest ripoff in medicine right now is clearing toxic mold from people, because people believe they are infected and they're poison you.

Yes?

Okay? Good? Good? What do you have? What are you? What are you on right now?

I am on per gesterone and testosterone?

Good good, good good? And are they bioidemically identical hormones? And you get blood tests and all that. Yes, that's I'm glad to hear that. Do you also have a pretty good diet?

I don't, because well, when I do eat, I do eat really well. But right now I have no appetite.

M kitty, What is the likely hood that you come across. What is the likelihood that you are exposed to killer toxic mold twice in your life and the symptoms persist and you were cleared. I think you have to look deeper. Now listen. I don't care if you tell me to go to hell and never listen to me again. I truly, kitty, I care for you, I really do. I want you not to keep going to these quacks. I want you you know, did you know that the male Clinic they

No, I haven't gotten a chance.

You really need you really need to do you really do?

How long you've had these symptoms twelve years and you never well, if you've had it for twelve years and you haven't had the time to go to a pulmonologist, you know something isn't isn't right.

She's only going to doctors who give her I'll tell you what it is. She's going to doctors that are giving him her positive affirmation. They're giving her what her bias. He wants to find something wrong. So she's going to doctors and not listening to the ones who say, don't worry, I don't think it's anything.

But when when she says I haven't had let me finish, kiddy, When you say you haven't had time to go to promonologists after twelve years, that.

Statement is just yeah, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous because that's the very first place you go if you have a lung problem, you go to a lung doctor.

You can't go to them without getting a referral from doctor.

Well, why can't that m d UP in Loveland give you way?

Wait?

Wait, why can't the shlock md UP and Loveland give you a referral the one that told you you have a toxic mold?

Because I don't need to. I don't need someone else to confirm it when it's already been confirmed.

It hasn't been confirmed. How has it been confirmed? Let me ask you this. Do you have one test? Do you have one one test one that shows the environment you were in has toxic mold in the air.

No, because I haven't paid for the test.

Okay, I'll pay for the test. Hold on, hold on, I'll pay. I'm going to pay for the test. I'm going to send someone to find mold in that you were in a veterinarian's place. Do you think it's still moldy or did he remediate it?

Oh h no, he didn't alleviate.

Okay, Now, so if I go there, hold on it, If I go there and do mold testing in the air. I'll find toxic mold spores at a dangerous level in the air. Is that right?

If you do the correct testing this, what's.

The correct testing the one that finds what you want? What's the correct testing kit.

No, it's going to be a test. I already talked to the doctor. It's a specific company that tests for it. And you and you put petri dishes out. Yes, run you run the air, you close. I think you leave it all for an hour and then you close you off.

That's what we're gonna do. That's what we're going to do for you. That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do a real mold test. We got to get this doctor's we got to get this veterinarians approval.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's not going to happen now that you think. No, no, no, we can tell him. We're not trying to go after him. We simply want to know. We just want to know. Here's the other point. Are you in a toxic mold situation right now?

Kittie?

No?

Good? So are you getting better? Hold on? So? Are you getting better?

Yes?

Good? So, by the way, and I'm so sorry, I never asked you this. What can we do for you? What did you call about? Because I want to if there's something simple we can do for you, I want to help you. What do you want?

I really wanted the test the place to be tested, okay. And if it is have mold in it, then I would like a lawyer to help pay for all the pain and suffering and lost wages. But I because of it.

Because she's not even in there anymore?

Are they going to allow someone.

To come in?

And can I say something, kitty kitty? Yes, the problem is in the history of old Unless you have a compromise immune system to begin with, you're not going to have a long term illness. So what pain and suffering are you talking about? If you were there for twelve years? Is that the pain and suffering you're talking about.

From the mold that was making me sick?

Okay? And when did you move out of there.

Last November?

Why didn't you.

Move out eleven years ago?

Because I didn't know what was making me sick?

How did you find out what was making you sick while you were there at the VETS office?

Well, I knew that there was major water damage every time it would rain, there would be water coming.

Okay, building, that's something.

Didn't then?

How did but how did you find out? How did you find out that it was mold? Hey, we're running super lately, all right, Grey, I got to take a break, Kitty, Kitty, I'm going to be straight with you. If you know, we would like to help. But I don't think you want it. I really think you want it to be mold. You're convinced it's mold, and I don't know what else to do for you.

It's in stage?

Like, are you, Joanna, are you staying stage four cancer. Yeah, and you're not doing any treatments whatsoever.

The thing is, I got to tell you the city of Aspen is covering up why I have cancer.

Well, it doesn't matter why you have it. Insurance doesn't have to know why you have it to treat you. Do you have insurance?

Come is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martine, I.

Am Tom Martino. Welcome to the show. Three zero three seven one three top three oh three seven one three eight two five five, And I welcome you here. This hour brought to you by my own company, my very own company, Wave eight Wealth Management. Why did I start a company at seventy one years old. Well, after about six or seven years of doing my own financial investing with people I hired, I looked into the industry. Like years ago, I started a phone company because I didn't

Well, we've been called by homeowners that have solar to do all of our high efficiency heat pump systems.

Eira.

You did they know that if they do this in conjunction with the solar system the same year they put it all together, they can actually get tax credits for the entire total. Did you know that for the entire total?

Yeah?

Yeah, that I mean, so think about that. That's in essence getting thirty percent tax credit for that heating system.

Yeah, it's a it's a good deal. I mean, I can't, I can't say nothing about it.

Now, aren't there other utility company rebates those? Sometimes when you do high efficiency?

There are there are high efficiency when it comes to heat pump systems, now, yes there is.

So what do you get a rebate of some kind?

Yep, It just depends on the heat pump system you get, you know, hundreds of dollars to one thousand dollars just over. So just depends on the efficiency and what you're matching it with.

And what if you found with high efficiency furnaces people can save over the old eighty percents because a lot of people still have those.

Yeah, some subsystems we put in that we take out, you know, we're talking full systems can be anywhere forty to fifty percent more efficient.

Stand are you kidding me? Forty to fifty percent more efficient?

Yeah, depending on the age that we're actually taken out.

Holy crap. Okay, Brian has a quick question for you and Johanna. I haven't forgotten about you. I truly want to make you some offers here that I think would help you. Brian, go ahead, What is your question?

Yeah, good morning, good morning. Hey.

I wanted to let you know that I love eight eight eight. I dealt with Kyle and I got my central AC installed.

Well, thank you for letting us know that.

Years ago that No, they were awesome. Now I'm in I'm shopping around for a new water heater to be installed. So of course I called eight eight eight first because I knew they did that work. But then when I called, I found out that they're referring everything to twenty four fix it. Now twenty four fix it wants a forty dollars charge just to come out and give me an estimate.

Wait, wait, no, it's the hold on a second, let me explain that to you. It's thirty nine bucks. And what they do is they will give you a complete diagnostic of any problem, no matter how long it takes to find that's plumbing, heating, cooling, electric, en drains, and they credit you the thirty nine if you have the work done. No one comes out to a house free unless it is a second opinion.

Well, Brian, let me let me just hop in there. Brian, First off, thanks for using us and Kyle. You know he's been with me forever, so I really appreciate that, and I like the kind He's awesome. Yeah, absolutely, he's a you know, he's one of those guys that just always does the right thing. So I'd love to have

Okay, that would be awesome.

I mean, I mean absolutely nobody works for free, but you know, to pay to earn my business. I mean, you guys, didn't you know, I didn't have to do that before.

So okay, that's wonderful. But I want to ask Garrett on a regular basis if people call for an estimate for a water heater, let me clarify you will go out free of charge. When people call and say, I think I need a water heater, I'd like an estimate.

We actually took a break from water heaters right now. We are, you know, looking at bringing it back at some time in the future.

But we well he was calling about a water heater.

Yeah, that's why we're actually have a partnership with several other plumbers at the same time. So if he just gets my number off air, I'll go ahead and hook him up with the right person.

He's basically saying he's not going to get charged anything.

No, I understand that. But on a regular business model, Garrett, I'm asking Garrett, as a regular business model, how do you feel about people going out free when the people they're not saying something is broken, they're saying they may want a new one.

Yeah, a lot of people do free estimates. It's not okay, Ye, It's just a normal thing or industry okay.

And a lot of people don't. A lot of people do what's called the service called now. I don't know if fix it does it. I mean he said that. I'd like to call it and clarify it with them. But the bottom line is this is that the thirty nine dollars diagnostic fee is if you have a problem and you want someone out to your house, that's thirty nine. So that's what rain when you said forty bucks. Maybe they think you have something wrong with your water heater and they'll come out and give you a you know,

You know, we did that. We did that on our service calls for furnaces and everything. In the past, we had a fifty eight dollars eighty eight dollars service fee. We'd get out there and had to do a repair. We weave the service fee.

Yeah.

Yeah, So what I'm saying is it's not unheard of. However, when somebody calls for a replacement furnace or water heater or replacements and they know they want one, usually there is no charge. So I'd like to clarify that if you could Assumese put in a call over there, maybe get one of the people on about it, because I'd

No, I need a water beater.

Yeah, that's what I mean. That's what I mean. You know you need a water heater, and they said to come out and give you an estimate was going to be thirty nine bucks.

Sure, and with any smart consumer you want to get multiple estimates.

So no, I get I.

Get what you're saying. I get what you're saying, and and and so let's just clarify that. Thank you, Brian, appreciate it. And of course you know I I thanks for the kudos for eight eighty heating dot com. That was very we We know Garrett's a great guy and he's been with us for years. So let's keep going here. Okay, Now, Joanna Johanna, I want to summarize this real quick. Johanna

A doctor diagnosed it. What's that no one diagnosed it? I have medical malpractice?

Okay, no, no, I'm asking. Just just just answer the question. I promise you. I'm not trying to trick you. I'm trying to help you. She's so so. No doctor, no doctor diagnosed you with stage four breast cancer.

No.

I needed a biopsy three years ago and they put me on the table and they said it was too risky.

So you've never you've never. Okay, I'm going to say, I'm going to ask just one more I'm just going to ask one more time. You were never diagnosed with stage four breast cancer?

Yes, but I have all the evidence.

And what evidence is Okay, what evidence do you have that you have stage four breast cancer?

I have pictures of a cat scan that shows I have cancer everywhere?

And who told you that cat scan showed cancer everywhere?

My friend, Jeter My.

Is your friend a doctor, of course. Okay, so hold on a second. So no one, actually no medical professional has ever diagnosed you with stage four breast cancer. Okay, how about how about that other long disease? My god, how do you say that again? I I doc? How do you say myotysis. Well, it's more than that. But the short name for it is d I s H. Right, that that's just a bit very that's the initials. Who diagnosed you with that disease DOMT.

It's disseminating idiopathic skeletal skeletal hyperostosis.

Well, idiopathic, and the symptoms could be that just means she's got What it really says is she's got pain from unknown symptoms from unknown causes.

I mean, no, I.

I that's what idiopathic means. That's what idiopathic. Who diagnosed you with that? You gave us a doctor's name because that could help clerk the clerk over at seven eleven, Just wait a second, No, seriously, who what's the doctor's name?

Doctor Stanley Gerstein? And I can send you emails with everything.

Is doctor Stanley Gerst is doctor Stanley? Is he a MD?

Yes, he's an MD?

And what did he recommend for treatment for this?

He never told me. It's on my medical records and no one has told me.

And Joanna Johnna, you complained of joint pain, right, that's what this diagnosis means. It basically means it's more than.

That it's calcifications of your ligaments and tendons around your spine and it travels everywhere.

What testing did he do to diagnose that?

He did the MRI.

Okay, all right, now can if you'd like? Are you still working in Aspen?

No?

I can't work. I haven't been able to work since my clients with Alzheimer's died three years ago.

Are you on Social Security disability?

It's not just my place, but I'm the one disseminating. Idiopathic celical hyperositosis is from mold. I got tested positive.

It actually isn't it actually is not even associated with mold. Idiopathic means cause unknown. Did you know that? Did you know that's what the docals offer tongue? Did you know that the doctor when he put idiopathic in that it means unknown cause.

Now it's they said, disseminating.

Idiopathic means un knowing cause.

Yeah, but if you look it up, it is caused by mold, it can.

Be, but disseminating just means it's in more than one place.

That's right, That's right.

And I have one question when you when you say you have stage four cancer and somebody looked at the MRI, let's say that even if they saw tumors that were spread throughout your body, there's no way from an MRI that you can tell what the initial cause of the cancer was.

No, I have I don't know it's it's breast cancer. I had a mammogram. Then the thing is at the city of Aspen is covering up the mold problem in my house?

Why Why?

Because they know I'm.

Sick from it.

And the doctor didn't even tell me I had disseminating ideopathic scoletal hyperossociation.

Okay, see the reason the reason they're telling you. Have you ever considered that you don't have cancer and you don't have dish disease? Have you ever considered that good?

No?

I have it. I was in a wheelchair.

Oh my god, this is like crazy. Listen, Johanna, what were you? Did you need us to refer you to? Who? What did you need?

I'm see the doctors are our line. I was abducted in my home. I was arrested for something I didn't do to the next or neighbor. And I'm not even in the newspaper. That's the other big issue that what were you?

What were you arrested for?

It didn't tell me. I only found that out three months they did they.

Lock you up for forty eight hours by any chance?

I told him I would tell people about it, but I wanted him to take off that crazy description and

It is way better. It is way better. I think you're foolish to put your address in there, your actual apartment number, the actual street in New Jersey. I don't know why you're doing that.

Well, Tom, nobody's going to rob him, he has nothing to rob.

Good point, But why would you put your address up there, Drew?

I don't know that was going to be my question? How do I? I think I've got to do something else at the GoFundMe site I've got to apply for so they know where to send it to my bankers. So that's what the librarian said, but he didn't have time to continue.

Listen, I I don't understand. You had seventy five up there, and now you have another five bucks, so that would have been a total of eighty. But the seventy five I don't see there anymore. And here's the thing.

The only way you can log on is with a You've probably got to set it up tom so he can. You probably got to help him cash it out. That's the bottom line.

Yeah, But I don't want to. I don't want to get involved. I really don't want to get involved. They asked me for a They need to text you confirmation. He didn't have a text number. I don't even know how their librarian is logging on. I have no idea, but I know this. I don't want to be blamed for missing money. I don't want to get involved. I will not get involved. I will not get involved. If

Makes enough a month to where if he moved, Drew, if you moved to somewhere you could afford how much do you get a month to everything?

And Garrett wouldn't answer my phone calls, and neither would George over it. Fix it? No, just kidding? What did you smell gas? No, here's what happened. My daughter, you know, stays here. I don't stay here. My daughter stays here. And she called me and said, Dad, the CEO detector was chirping. Oh, I said, do me a favor, hunt, I said, check. Yeah, she changed batter. She goes, it's

If that one just went out, I promise you the other ones are to come now.

No, by the way, this is not my smoke. We're not talking smoke detectors.

We're talking Yeah, I see, I just went through it, yep, coo. Okay, So my COEO detector was what you was that house built? No, no, it was a ten year old detector. Bo already looked at his daughter looked it up.

He brought his lovely daughter with him, and Grace looked it up and said, this is ten years old. And I went and it supposed that chirps after seven years, and it didn't. It might have been. You can't get rid of it, no matter what you can know for safety, because it doesn't work anymore. Yeah, right, I know. So Bo got me two new ones.

I came over because I was concerned when you said two of the COEO detectors were going off upstairs and downs. So I genuinely where you thought you had a problem.

Yeah, I did too. And then when just before he got here, I realized that she had not the second one. She was testing when it went off because it wasn't showing any readings. The second one shows active readings. By the way, it's a constant readout. So in any case, this is a good consumer tip. If you have a CEO detector, Now does that happen? That doesn't happen with smoke detectors, does it? Garrett? Do you know or do you know? Bo do smoke ditables? They will chirp yeah,

I think so they have an element too, just like a CEO is.

The one that wouldn't stop on ours. And how I learned all this about I don't even know, even within the last month. Does both And it's all tied to our alarm system, which makes it even crazy.

I know.

But but there is there is something about and don't play it. Don't play it dragon, But that sound Okay, telling him not to do it is like inviting it. But it's the worst sound and I hate do that to him. One day, Yeah, but it was him. Here's what here's the way it is. Though it's a cruel joke. They make it so it sounds like it's coming from every one of them, and.

It's only can't tell if you're on the main floor. You can't tell if it's downstairs upstairs.

And then when getting so I have to go to each one and look up at it to see and wait a freaking sixty seconds. You're right, You're right. God, I hate that. Stop and dragon.

He speaking of smoke detectors.

I got one that came with a ten year battery.

By the way, that's what I replace mine with. By the way, there's no such thing as a smoke detector. It's a smoke detector making in your world a smoke detecta. Okay, So what kind of tenuear battery? Mark? I never heard of those. So the new ones we just that one I was talking about. So it does both.

It does the coo and then it does the smoke, and for whatever reason, you cannot replace the battery. It looks identical, but they literally like clipped in glue the cover so you can't easily open it to replace the battery. And whatever battery they put in there is good for ten years. Then the unit is junk.

You know, it's not so bad that these things are, I mean expensive, they're not, and I'd like to buy one, but you can't. You got to find the same footprint as the one in your ceiling. I mean, even if I take the whole thing off.

No, no, they're easy to basically that part you twist it into, they're all the same. That part might be different, follow what I'm saying, But the bolt pattern on the two that hold that part into the ceiling are pretty much all the same.

No, No, I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what I'm thinking about, though, what I'm thinking about, if you put a whole new one, I get it. Like when I did a thermostat and I switched those digital thermostats. The other one one had a different footprint, so now I have to sand and paint. Yeah, it sucks,

Yeah?

Yeah yeah yeah, two yeah yeah yeah yeah. It said you had to change them every seven years. But in any case, thank you for that. You can't you got a tenure? Yeah, Bill, just just put Bill on hold and put him put him out to pasture right now. Three oh three seven three seven one three eight two five five. Bill, We got you, bro, We got your message. We can hear you, sus We'll talk to you. So listen. I want to ask some advice. Is it better for me to just be honest with people when it comes

Well, yeah, that's why they're mentally ill.

It'sch a definition, but is it? But but what do psychiatrists? What do psychiatrists do?

I think psychiatrists try to point out the reality of it and get them by I mean, I'm a psychiatrist, but I assume they get them to eventually see the reality of what of what the delusion is.

Yeah, but some people, like the folks in my opinion we talked to today, some of them might need some medication in order to get to that point.

Absolutely. I think, you know, medication and interventional psychiatry certainly works for these people.

You dealt with someone in your life that was, you know, that was supposed to be on medication, and when they were, I mean they were a completely different person, wouldn't you agree? My brother Yeah, yeah, I mean completely different. No, you're his Your brothers passed away, right right? And so I mean, okay, I'm just going to say I was saying. When he was on his meds, I mean we just would never

I know it. And there's just nothing. And here's the crazy thing about being crazy. And I hate using the word crazy, but if you have, if you had this bipolar thing, and it seemed that lithium helped him so fricking much, why doesn't he stay on it? Because as they're coming off it, they like that feeling of being like, they feel like they're somebody. I think they feel like they're normal because that's how they are. Mark one time. This is the god's honest, true story, and I won't

That and they thought he was kind of like doing it in jest, you know. And I'm being serious when I say this Trump derangement syndrome. I've never seen anything like it. I've got relatives man, that I swear, and I'm not kidding at all. He could cure cancer or save their life or their child's life or something and it wouldn't matter is how much they hate him. I have never seen a man so hated for almost zero reason. I heard did you listen to Trump? And the who'd

No, you know what they brought up.

Listen to this man right before he ran, in fact, after he came down that escalator in twenty fifteen. Do you realize he was on the view he hugged and kissed with open or op Yeah, with Oprah his way and his.

Show, his show the was it the intern? That was a hit? Shot woo? But Whoope? Goldberg loved this guy, Joy Bayer loved this guy. They all loved them. But then when he won, it's like the media turned on him or when he became when he became you know, when it became real, No, when it became real that he was actually had a shot at going for president. But it's it's so amazing the derangement that got created. And I do I would love to.

Have a psychiologist, a psychologist on or a psychiatrist for that matter, and really explain, not just in the case of Trump, but how how can so many people that never met somebody hate somebody that much?

It's crazy. Now now people speaking of which we have some text to the I'm not going to go through it, and they're saying that that they heard Trump's spewing more hate than anyone, and that he kind of I don't know, I you know, that's the.

Thing that Madison Square Garden was the official knockout. If you ask me, he knocked that out of the park Man.

It was just it was great, and it says here, you know, Mark was saying, why do you say you don't want to talk politics when Mark sure does talk about politics? First of all, Mark's a free person can talk about anything he wants. Yeah. And the second thing is, it's not that I don't want to talk about politics. What I mean is this, This is what I mean. I don't like to I'm not Mark might be I'm not trying to convince people who to vote for what, but what to vote for or what kinds of principles?

You're getting things he's going to go things mixed up? What did you say the front of the I think it was a New York Post or New York Times front of New York Times November fifth or eighth, two thy sixteen. If you google it, it pops right up. They put Hillary as Oh that I might. Yeah, there's nothing I'm making up here.

Oh it was a headline. You're absolutely right, I remember that ninety chance to win. Yeah.

And what I made the comment is a lot of times he'll do stuff like that so the other side doesn't get out and vote. I mean, it's just a dirty trick and everybody knows that. There's what else can I say it is?

I will say this, The rallies are truly, truly remarkable to me. It's it's almost like are they going out because they love them or are they going out just to see the phenomenon. I don't know.

I mean no, there, let me tell you, when you show up to one of those, you're you're in a group of people. The one I went to here in Denver is at least forty thousand, somewhere between thirty and fifty, and people can argue whatever. It had a mile long coming out of the Gay Lord twelve thousand, staging twelve thousand. Inside it was forty to fifty and we all somewhat think alike. Now, some like that or hate it somewhat.

Oh they said that Madison Square Garden purposely closed concessions until the speech started. Then they opened them up on purpose to see to show people flowing out of the garden. They were actually going to the concession stand.

I can only say one thing about that. I have no idea if that's true or not. I haven't even seen that story. But I'll say this, that man that owns Madison Square Garden in New York City offered him a ton of money to move that over towards the river years ago, and he held fast and made the best decision ever. He's a businessman, is what I'm getting to. So if you don't think that guy's selling water and coke when he can, you're crazy. The man likes making money.

All right, We have more coming up on the Troubleshooter show. Hi, Tom Martino, your Troubleshooter. Tom's got to comment on the show. Go ahead, or comment on something? Go ahead, Tom, what's happening?

Yeah?

Yes, I would just like to say, how does Mark feel about the comment the man made Puerto Ricans?

What man? Tom? Comedian? That comedian?

Sir, Well, it's comedian, but.

Trump, who cares? You know what?

The same way I feel about when I watch Eddie Murphy or Chris Rock or any other comedian when they make fun of all kinds of things.

Sir, h keep going. I mean, go ahead, sir, he's a comedian.

There was that.

Oh well, anyway, I find it funny. Who's Who's probably I don't even know what to say. Who was the guy that they attempted to cancel for making fun of transgender He's probably the biggest comedian on the planet. I mean, I I don't hear any of these people going after Chappelle, But because this guy's at a Trump rally, it's an issue. You freaking your freaking brain

For me.
