Ripped, so you don't have to run in Just as fast as we can.
Shooter's gonna help come Man Dix.
Is the Troubleshooter Show Now, Tom Martinez, Welcome.
My friends, Welcome to the show, the only show of it's kind. We're here to solve problems, answer questions, take complaints. I want to say hello out there to my fellow garbage. Did everybody out there here what Biden had to say about anybody that votes for Trump? Not with the fake media, it's trying to make you think what he says, But here's what he actually said.
Just the other day, speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well, let me tell you something I don't. I don't know the Puerto rican I know, or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there as his supporters.
Wow, the only garbage out there.
They're supporters coy contred everything we've done.
What do you think of that?
Doc?
My god, did you realize you're a piece of garbage?
I didn't realize that, but it just shows that Biden totally has lost it.
I knew I was deplorable, but now Mark, he's lost it. My god, he's the boss, he's the president, he's the man in charge, He's the Matt Daddy.
That's scary as anything.
The Republicans are the ones trying to pull the wool over your eyes. For God's sake, people, wake up. I know this is a consumer show and we are here to solve problems, answer questions, and take complaints. But my fellow garbage people out there, make sure you vote. There's only one way to stop all this fake news. That's what he said. They're going to try to walk it back for the next week. But just like Hillary Clinton and her deplorable bs, these guys screwed up big time.
They actually said for the first time something they really think.
Now did time show up yet?
And Mark, it was a joke by a comedian, not by Trump.
Oh, I know exactly what it was, and it was absurd, Doc, one hundred percent absurd. People even got mad at that. But then to come out and actually tell more than half the country, yes, more than half the country their garbage has to be the dumbest political thing I've ever heard. I mean, that's how stupid these people are. Her and her boss over there are complete morons. And I promise you, Colorado, if everybody that feels away idough gets out and votes,
we can actually change this state. I'm not saying we're doing it this year, but we can get pretty damn close and at least scare these people into being reasonable in the future. Mark, it's really really a horrible situation upon any which way to call half the country garbage, I can't believe it. Let me tell you something. If Trump did that and called all the Hillary people or I'm sorry Hillary, I get them all confused because they
both suck. She said, deplorable. And then these guys, these guys meaning uh, I'm so I'm so flustered right now. But Biden and Harris calling half the population garbage is unacceptable and people have to get out there and vote. You have to get out there and vote. Don't think we're stuck here in this blue state. Now, Kay, what's going on with you?
K Hi? Tom? You're so helpful for so many people, and we all love you and appreciate you. Go ahead, Kake, love to sow and I'm good at it. And a man in a hotel.
Ok said, Okay, this is.
A repeat call.
I don't understand what's going on here. You called up someone was going to repair your sewing machine. Correct, and then they took off. Wait a minute, I want to make sure I'm talking to the right K. Then they took off to go get married. Invited you to the wedding, but you were going to go to the wedding because you didn't want to eat the bad food. That's not me, that's not you. So this is a different issue with the sewing machine.
It's completely difficult.
Okay, go ahead. What's going on with U? K. I jumped the gun.
There sewing machine in the cabinet, and it does him stitches, it sews on buttons, it does everything for a man walking in a hotel.
Yep.
When we went to a seminole, he said that he can fix anything.
Yep.
He was a handyman.
Right.
Yeah, did you actually forget you've called him before. I'm just curious. I mean, I'm just curious. Or do you have two sewing machines and this is a different sewing machine.
I have one in the basement, got it very well, okay, and it's in the cabinet.
Okay, what's this guy's number? I want to try to solve your problem right now. I'm going to have Kelly call him on the air and we're going to figure out why he can't fix your sewing machine. So what's his name?
He moves to California?
Does he not have a phone. I'm not going to send him smoke signals.
I don't have his number in California.
Okay, then how can I help you? Kay? What can we do to make your life better today?
Have somebody that knows how to put in the bobbing holder okay, and had to fix it, then I'll have a good time sewing. Okay, good, it's sewing. And I'm willing to give a one one way that's in the cabiner in my basement.
So you need you need someone that knows how to fix a sewing machine.
Exactly correct, Tom.
I am not sure. I don't think we have anybody on the referral list. Hopefully we can find someone out there. Maybe we have someone listening right now that could help you with that. I mean, what do you think the value of that sewing machine? I don't know. If I'm in Walmart, I see in some of their aisles. They have sewing machines that hook up to computers that are like one hundred bucks. How much is this one worth? I mean, what is your sewing machine worth?
It's that's a lot of money because I can use it when I get snowed in.
No, I know it's worth it. That's not where I'm going. I'm saying if to repair it is one hundred dollars, because someone's got to come to your house look at it, figure out what. Kay, you're not your Okay, we're just on We're on separate planets. For God's sake. Here's what I'm trying to tell you. If it costs more to repair than to replace, how much is a new sewing machine?
Well, I think shingers are no longer being that.
Okay, I don't care who makes it. If they don't make it, how much is a new sewing machine?
I don't remember it.
Is it just normal? I assume it's not going to hook up to a computer. You just want a normal sewing machine? Is that right?
It's better than normal because it does a lot of things. When you know how to walk, like what and I know how to walk? But if it's broken, I can't sew.
Okay, here's a Singer heavy duty forty four fifty two high speed sewing machine with accessory kit. It has enhanced piercing power. Will that work for you?
Is it a singer?
It's a singer. It's a it's a singer heavy duty. It is the mac Daddy of sewing machines. It's the bomb dot Com.
And would I pick it up?
No?
What I pick it up?
Will this work for you?
It would?
All right? I'm gonna buy you a sewing machine. Okay, Oh, come on, I'm buying you a sewing machine because it'll save my sanity. Hold on a second, all right, I'm gonna put you on a three oh three seven one three eight two five five Kelly, I'm not kidding. I want to get that handled today. We're gonna buy her this sewing machine. I need her address in wherever this thing's gonna ship from Amazon. This poor lady's called a

I don't know how we're gonna send you a picture of it or whatever. But we're gonna get you a sewing machine. For that matter.

All right.
Three oh three seven one three eight two five five. Three oh three Martino, You've been ripped off taking advantage of I do want to hear from you. I also love to hear comments on what do you think about this newest and don't let people talk into thinking it's a gaff. There's no gaff when the President of the United States comes out and basically says if you vote for Donald Trump or support him, if you support closed borders, if you support a better life in general, than basically
your garbage. So I would like to hear from you on either side of that. And I'm not trying to turn this into littical day, but let's face it, the election six days away and everything's going nuts out there. I mean, Deputy Doc, you've been around for more elections than I have. How many elections? How many of you voted for are voted.
In since I was able to?
So you started with Lincoln.
I started with Lincoln, then I went to gar who it was Garfield or McKinley, and then I went for Eisenhower.
Have you ever seen a more contentious race than this one? I would say sixteen maybe, yeah.
I mean, it's it's hard to compare this to twenty sixteen.
I can't even imagine what was a Gore versus Bush. I can't even imagine one of them calling the other people garbage. I mean, it's I just can't believe it happened. They always talk about in October surprise. What I'd like to know is does this change people's minds if they were going to vote for Kamala and all of a sudden they're thinking, my god, she's saying she's the candidate for everybody but her boss and the administration that she's
second in charge in is call in everybody garbage. On the other side, I.
Think it's just going to add a little bit to the people who is still on the fence.
Maybe, you know, I I sure hope. So what do you see the outcome of this to be everybody?
I think it's going to be really close. Mark, And you know, it's so hard to determine in the swing states because of absentee balloting, illegal people voting. You know, there's just so many things that can go wrong with predictions.
You know, that one in Virginia was crazy. I guess the Supreme Court just came out and they said, you know what if someone filled out the registration and basically said they're not a citizen, they're not allowed to vote. It's hard to believe the Supreme Court had to make that decision for Virginia. I mean, it's crazy. They basically, they basically told the Department of Justice to, you know,
go pound sand. I mean, these people actually walked in when they were trying to get a driver's license or trying to vote, whatever they were doing, I think getting an ID card of some sort, and they put their not a citizen and then they try that they want to put them on the voter roll. I just can't even understand where these Democrats are coming from.
Market's amazing what they're allowing these illegal immigrants to do. They support they're getting with money and housing, and I think for me, the biggest issue in the election is for me, it's immigration. We need to get we need to get our borders under control.
It's so horrible if you start thinking of all the children that were lost and just the lies, the boldfaced lies of the current administration looking you in the eyes through television or at these rallies, and what Harris and Biden will let you believe is they've done everything they can. It's Congress fault. But everybody knows that's not true. That there can't be one person out there that truly believes
that that's the case. The truth is, and I mean this, the truth is, they want to let everybody in because if you give a lot of people's stuff and make them citizens, allow them to vote, they're hoping that in the future they're going to be part of the Democrat Party.
Well, I'll tell you, Mark, I have a lot of friends who are liberals that I put up with. But their big concern and this is from intelligent people who are professionals, own businesses, lawyers, etc. They think that Donald Trump is somehow going to ruin our democracy, that he's going to become a fascist dictator. They don't understand checks and balances and the separation of powers.
But it's actually more, it's even more ridiculous in my opinion, because these are the people saying he's going to weaponize the Justice Department and basically the office of the White House.
They're one Biden has done.
They're the ones, for the first time in history, has gone after their competition that's running for president. Absolutely, I mean, it's absolutely insane.
And if you want to see something, go on YouTube and watch some of the the committee. The I don't know the Justice Committee that are examining Biden's nominations for federal judge ships. It is so incredible what these judges think and what kind of nonsense ses speeling in our judicial system. They're all ideologues that are worse than progressives because they're going to be in power.
It's a sad state, I really think though. Looking at the polls and all the swing states, Trump seems to be ahead, I think except for one, but they're very close. But then I go back and look at twenty sixteen and twenty how wrong the polls had it when it came to Trump. So I'm hoping it's the same thing. He's actually up three or four more points, or is going to actually finish three or four more points higher.
I think we're going to see over three hundred electoral votes for Trump or to ninety seven.
I think Markey right, And I think part part of it is a lot excuse me, A lot of people don't want the backlash from other people around them for voting for Trump, so they don't say they're going to vote for Trump. When they get into that voting booth, they do and they fill out the ballot. They know it's good for him, and they vote for Trump well.
And it's amazing black men and then Hispanics. The polling right now, we don't know if that's actually going to happen, and he's going to claim a lot more of those votes than he ever has before, and for that matter, any Republican has before. But I go back and circle back to the same thing. I think a lot of people, a lot of people have finally woken up and said, wait a minute, the fake news has just been lying
to us. This is absolutely crazy, Harris. If you go back and listen to her speeches, she didn't want anything to do with fracking. Now she does. Trump doesn't want to have a tax and income tax on waiters and other people like that, right, and all of a sudden, she doesn't want to anything that seems to be working
for Trump. Now she's in favor of. But if you look at anything in the past with her, I mean, we've all seen the TV ads where she basically wants to pay for people that are incarcerated and aren't even citizens of this country. In her own words on a TV interview, wants to pay for transgender surgery for people that are locked up and not even part of this country.
It's absurd, and these judgments.
Why do you think people have and I mean this dooc You're a smart guy, man, you really are a smart guy. So why do you think people did buy into it in twenty twenty? Do you think it truly was all the fake media covering up like the Biden laptop and for two years all we heard was Russia, Russia, Russia, and he was in bed with Russia, which all turned out to be fake? Was it just all the fake news?
And then they block them from they block them from Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, They based tried to erase the president of the US.
I mean, you've just answered your own question mark, that's why it happened.
Yeah, But do people now understand that it happened. Do they look back and go, oh my god, we really did get duped?
I think to some extent, But I think, you know, people look at their grocery bill, look at their gas bill, look at the cost of everything of driving a car, putting food on the table for family of four, it's up thirty percent.
Yeah, but once again, somehow that's not going to be that's not going to be their fault. But I think people actually are seeing through it now, Yeah, well, I mean gasoline. I had some guy argue with me. Do you realize now it was staring COVID. First of all, gasoline was a lot less under Trump because we were drill baby drilling. But at one point during COVID and Parker Elizabeth and in Centennial, there was numerous gas stations that had gas for a dollar a gallon, a dollar
ninety nine cents a gallon. Now, granted, most of that's COVID that did that much to do with it, but normal prices for gas at that point were around two bucks. Alright, just drives me nuts. Listen, folks, three oh three seven one three eight two five five, you've been ripped off. You gotta comment. Please call now three oh three seven one three eight two five five will be right back.

All right, three oh three seven one three h two five five, you've been ripped off for taking advantage of we're here to help. Well, really, any problems you have, maybe with the landlord contractor. I got a lot off my mind in the first fifteen thirty minutes. I just I'm not going to recap on the whole thing. But this whole garbage comment by the current administration, the Biden
Harris administration, is just nonsense. If you want something different in your life, you want lower grocery prices, a secured border, if you just want a better America, if you want to make America great again, safe again, well then you're garbage. Think about that.
I don't know the Puerto Rican that I.
Know what a bumbling fool. In fact, he can barely he can barely piece together a sentence. But if anybody out there tries to tell you that he was only talking about a supporter, the one comedian, just listen to it for yourself. Pull it up, put headphones on, listen to it in fact, do it one more time, Shannon, play it in its entirety, and then I'm going to a roofing problem with George, I promise.
And just the other day, Hey, I speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.
Well, let me tell you something.
I don't know the Puerto Rican that I know Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
His home state is Puerto Rican, honorable people.
The only garbage I see floating down there is his supporters.
Wow, the only garbage I see out there are his supporters. Now what's strange is I read that the White House literally changed the transcript, which I always thought was illegal. I didn't think you could rewrite history in the Oval Office. But these guys have done everything, including weaponizing the Justice Department against Okay, I'm not going.
To say malcol If I don't come in tomorrow, Yes, it's because I'm garbage in my garbage days. Today it's I go home and they pick me up. I won't be in tomorrow.
I can't believe Harris just referred to half the country as garbage. Hey, I know the libs out there are saying now I was biting. Who the hell do you think Harris is. She's been under that administration for that, She's been in charge of the border, in charge of everything. This is all her. Every part of every problem in your life right now has everything to do with Harris. So they are one and the same. Don't let them fool you. And they're both dumb. They're both not very
smart people. George, what's going on with this roofer man? Yes, George, what a jerk? You know what? I just can't even sometimes I scratch my head. Just dump them, Kelly, I mean, what a jerk. I can't even say what he came on and said. Did I hit that dump button fast enough? Shannon? What a perv? George, I can say, is pretty much a perv. Wow, I'm sorry I missed it.
What happened?
I don't know how I think. I don't think you could have caught that. I don't think anybody could have, so I don't think it was your issue. It's probably some Democrat. Well, it's definitely a hater, there's no doubt it's a hater. But I'm not sure why they were trying to take something out on Tom because he's not here. Right now doing the show. I am so it was
kind of curious they called there. But anyhow, folks out there three O three seven one three eight two five five, we would love to hear from you with any comments you have, any problems you have. We're very proud of what we do, and I'm very proud of what Tom is done for forty five years. To that last caller there, I would love to know any accomplishments he's had in his life. Generally, jerks like that to call up have done nothing in their life. Nothing. I mean, like literally nothing.
I would love to know of any accomplishment he's ever had because he's a fool, and that recovered millions, hundreds of millions of dollars easily hundreds and people don't.
Realize a lot of the stuff we do behind the scenes. We don't even mention on the air.
Oh my god, over when we say three hundred million dollar stock in cash, merchandise exchanges and refunds, it goes way further than that. Oh I know, those are things that people have heard on the air. If you just think of how many people we've saved by not doing what they heard on the air, It's incredible. What's the biggest difference you think you've personally made on this show, the biggest case where it could have been a lot worse or you got something done. I am curious, what are you?
There was one with a bank about a month ago where it was one hundred thousand dollars charge. I don't know if you remember it, and we got that reverse.
Like on a credit card or on what. I don't recall that.
It was on a credit card. Something went wrong and anyway, I just remember it was one hundred thousand.
Dollars that got re Wow, that's a good one.
A lot of stuff we do, you know, is even five ten thousand dollars is a lot of money to people.
Oh my god, it's a ton of money to almost anybody.
And you know, no'll smuck. It's also feeling better about things. When people get ripped off, it's not only money. It hurts their ego, it hurts the self esteem, and when you right the wrong it gives them back that feeling of self esteem and that they weren't taking advantage of.
You know, I had, and that can't be measured. A lot of people don't know this. You know, I'm whatever, I'm here helping people all the time. But I got taken doc by a general manager. When I had five good years around town. I had a general manager that I hired, and with my dime, he was literally opening up another tire shop on Broadway using my lines of credit. While he was paying my bills, he started paying his own bills out of kitty if you will.
Yeah.
Nice.
He got me for about a quarter million dollars. Now, he's spent a couple of years in federal prison. I rather it have been a state prison. His wife left him, his kids can't stand him. So a lot of stuff happened to him after that. But I've been there, man, I think we've all been there at some point. I'll tell a quick one about Tom. He had a guy
talk him into The guy worked at Fox News. This is going back in the day, talked him into investing into a donut shop, and sure enough, the guy had a gambling problem with all things, and not only took Tom's money, but a lot of other coworkers' money. And basically he went up to Hill and lost it or went to Vegas. I'm not sure where he lost it all, but he lost it all gambling. It's nuts. How about you have you been ripped off?
Yeah, there was something called financial visions. The guy owed. What he did was he would give short term loans to funeral homes if the person had insurance. So a lot of times people had death benefits. They couldn't collect the people.
Well, I'm trying to understand. So people could afford to bury whoever passed.
They were right, they would have the death benefit. I got it.
He would.
He would regalize it and lend them short term money.
Almost like almost like these tax places like H and R block his high interest, high fee money based upon a return right.
But he wasn't charging He was only charging like five or six percent. And he had all sorts of people involved in it, people who were his best friends, people that went on vacations with his families. Well what was he doing though, Well, for a while he was paying off people at twelve percent, and then he just stopped left town and he did get arrested and he's still in jail.
Wow.
So I got caught for about a couple of but you know, it's interesting. The year that I got caught, I was able to deduct it from my taxes. And then they changed the law that you're not no longer allowed to deduct losses like that from your tax i.
Wonder why they don't allow that. That's an interesting Uh, that's that's an interesting rule for the irs. Yeah, that if you get ripped off on an investment, you're sure you can't deduct that now.
And investment is different than a Ponzi scheme, okay somehow, So if you invest in a in a stock and you lose it, obviously can't take it. But apparently for that for a while, if it was a Ponzi scheme in fraud, you allowed to deduct it.
That's a nuts man, all right, folks. Real three seven one three eight two five five three zero three Martino, I want to hear from you right now. We'll be right back.

All right, three oh three seven one three eight two five five. You've been ripped off taking advantage of we want to hear from you. Uh phone's been quiet as hell today, Doc. The show started off strange. I'm not sure what happened to Tom, but he uh he disappeared. Hopefully we get him back up during the break. I'm not I'm just not sure.
It was an alien abduction. I saw the I saw the saw gets affed up. I saw the saucer over his uh over's house.
Hey, in all honesty, do you have election anxiety? Do I do you hit your mike?
Yeah? I am really worried if what will happen if Kamala wins.
It drives me in, man.
I'm thinking of going to Poland and doing remote Yeah, because Poland has the best policy as far as democracy and immigration control.
I find myself waking up in the middle of the night and checking my phone for news. And I am not kidding, yep. I really have just for the past week, and it's tough, man. It truly is an anxiety that the media has put in all of us. And I don't care what side you're on, and I'm not sure. I'd love to have a psychologist on or a psychiatrist actually figure out some form of remedies to it, because it's a tough deal.
Man. Well, I have a question for You've been in the radio business for a while. Yeah, why why is it that the television and newsput media are so liberal and talk radio seems to be conservative?
That'd be a better question for Tom. I remember way back when I was doing KOA in two thousand, remember the hanging Chads. Yeah, I was the only liberal. Yup, people out there are going what what did he just say? I was the only liberal on And I was on late at night. I was on like I want to say, nine o'clock till midnight or eight till eleven, something like that.
And then in the morning Mike Rosen, if he happened to hear me the night before, would attempt to pick apart, and in a lot of cases he was very good at what he did, would pick apart anything I had to say about the hanging chads and what was going on in the country. But I was one of these guys that said the president is getting selected, not elected, because really the Supreme Court, in a lot of ways ultimately picked that presidency.
True.
I also remember in that period of time they tried an experiment and you had people that were pretty liberal on AM radio. I think one of them was Randy Rhoades. Shannon, you can help me hear what other ones? What was that called? It wasn't Talknet're American? In fact, it was on right next door on seven sixty. Who else did that? In cumber It was who is the senator from Saturday Night Live? Oh, I can picture him. I can't think of his name, Al Franken. You have Al Franken and
then Randy Rhodes. But it didn't last that long, did it. I mean we're talking I think maybe a year. No, it didn't even last that long.
So six months.
I don't know why, Doc, I don't know why.
This was very interesting. Then there's that dichotomy in coverage.
I'm actually shocked all together with everything on demand and podcast. I mean, I'm I'm kind of amazed when it comes to over the air, and I don't care if it's a MFM or anything, especially music.

But the show's been around forty five plus years just in Denver, and if you want to be a part of it, I want to hear from you now three oh three seven one three a two five five if you want help or a comment on the upcoming election or anything local. I think Doc and I are going to talk about some of the local things soon. Some of the things you're trying to pass. We're going to go down some of those later on in the show, and I want to kind
of pick Doc's brain on them. I have a feeling him and I will probably differ on quite a few of them, but I'm not sure about that. Three oh three seven one three eight two five five. Now I'm going to go back to Joe. Joe's work computer. Apparently when it turns on or he logs into it, it goes to a certain website. The website has a lot of links to other places, and that's about how far we got you.
Yeah, So it was just funny because on the web page it showed two different Newsweek stories. One of them said Donald Trump on way to electoral college landslide yep, and right below that it said Donald Trump's chances looking.
Glum for election.
And they're both from Newsweek. Or you're saying they're both just on that page, they're just both.
They're both on that page. They had pulled those stories from Newsweek. The point is Newsweek put out two stories fifteen minutes.
Apart, that are totally that are absolutely backwards.
Absolutely just counter each other.
Hey, just so I know where do you sit on this man? Where do you sit on this election?
Oh?
I'm one of your boys, Mark. I think our country is at grave risk from Gamala and her ilk.
So it scares me.
I might terrifying.
I might join I might join doc and Poland.
Because do you get that? In all honest yj no bs. Do you do you find yourself constantly checking the news the last week, like almost to the point where you know it's not healthy. I keep googling newest presidential polls. In fact, I have probably googled that fifty times in the past I don't know ten days, and it's a I know it's not good. I don't know how to pull away from it. The anxiety I have felt in the past week just isn't healthy. I know it's not.
We need you need an intervention.
Maok, it's really tough.
No, I'm with Mark. My wife wants me out of the house. I just I'm going insane. I can't wait until it's over. And if we lose, I just don't know.
We had all it's the same though. I'll tell you what, man, My parents are extremely liberal, I mean, like beyond anything. In fact, it's so strange. I'm an only child, and the differences we have or just unbelievable. But when Trump won, and it was leading up to that, and in twenty twenty when he lost, though their anxiety level. Man, I'll tell you, the left when absolutely crazy when Trump won. So I kind of understand. And it's not just people
on the right or left. I mean, we have just been indoctrinated into following this thing like it's our child growing up. I mean the news media CNN, Fox, MSNBC, they us make a fortune on us just following this thing so close.
Best TV ever ever since TV was invented, was watching all these liberal people on TV after Trump got elected.
Oh my god, that was the best about all the stars or all the singers, or all the Hollywood people that were going to move to Canada. What's your biggest thing, Jay or Joe? I'm sorry, what's your biggest problem with it? Right now? Would you say the economy or the border? Because I know it's one of those two.
No, my biggest thing is that I look, people are gonna say, oh God, Joseph Nutt, but I honestly believe that the Democratic Party wants to destroy the Constitution and the plant with a state more to their liking. So that's my greatest concern, not the border.
Yeah, the border is terrible.
This order is huge, Joe.
But uh, if they gain contry all, they're already stripping away our rights. They're attacking the Constitution, Hillary acting the Supreme Court.
Hillary talking about shutting up people our First Amendment is absolutely insane. She would even say that in public.
It's scary. And I know a lot very very wealthy liberal people and they have no problem.
With any of this.
In fact, I've asked them if this was with the shoe was on the other foot, wouldn't you be uncomfortable?
Well, they're the party in power.
I guess I just have to go along. It's just insane.
Well, just grow.
Well, I appreciate it.
Man.
Do you wear a Trump hat or are you a gear wear or no?
Uh, I never wear hats, but I want a Trump hat. But what I will tell you is that I just got an FDAB Limit Edition badge for my truck and it's put it's right on top of platin, my platinum stick.
Don't you get afraid someone's gonna kia.
We'll find out.
Yeah, I get terrified on that. I won't put any bumper stickers. I don't care what they are. First of all, I don't want them on my car or anything. But to put an F JB you know, F Joe Biden sticker, I mean, I guess if you live in Douglas County or anywhere but Denver County or Denver Proper, you might get away with him. But my god, I'd be afraid I'd get keyed. I mean really, I'd be terrified.
I do live in Douglas County.
Okay, that's good, that's very good.
Yeah, all right, Joe.
I appreciate the call. Three oh three seven one three eight two five five ey doc, listen to this. Ready signs in front yards. Okay, what party and we're only going to talk Republican and Democrat.

Time Folks three three seven one three eight two five five. Hey, I am looking for someone that can fix a sewing machine. We had a caller first hour, I offered a buyer one and then I had an email from someone saying you're nuts, and I kind of agree with them. And here's why. She's an older woman. She's used that same sewing machine for one hundred years or whatever it's been. I think I'm much better trying to get the one
she's used to fixed. So if anybody out there really knows somebody that knows how to fix a sewing machine, that would be awesome. And I'm not talking about as a favor. I mean, I'll pay for it to get fixed, but I rather fix hers, unless if it's just not repairable because maybe you can't get parts or something. But I wanted to go to Doc real quick, then I promise, Barb,
I'm going to go to you. But demographically, DOC people, I'll read the exact question, have you displayed political signs at your home in the past, So it's not just this election cycle, but every election cycle in the past, red or blue? Who do you think? Who? Who do you think? Has answered that question almost sixty percent to forty percent that have had signs political signs at their home in the past. Blue blue is absolutely correct demographics. Now let's look at gender and sex.
I've got two in my backyard right now?
You do in your backyard?
Yeah?
Why you're actually I've got one in my backyard. You one is Trump? No, what is it? John fabricatory. Who the hell's that.
He's running in our district?
Poet Congress? Okay, your district? What district is it? Ah six, he's running against Jason Crowe. How do you say that? That woman's name that's like four feet tall and she's always got her gun out Bobart, Baubart, Laurene Bubert Bobert. Yeah, that's what I thought. It's one of those names. It seems like they might try to full you into some French pronunciation bobar. But here here, here's what's funny. I see signs for her all over frank Town and Douglas.
That's because that's your district. No, she's not in my district, or she is.
She's running in your district.
She's running in Douglas County. Yes you're sure, yes? Positive? Did she switched district? She switched districts. I didn't know that, doc, Oh, that's been a big story. No, man, I'm too focused on national stuff. No, I didn't know that at all.
Yeah she did.
I just basically sat down last night and started reading my ballots, so I didn't even get to that part. So well, definitely I'll vote for her, though, yes, I mean no, doubt about it. So you have that, and what's your other sign? Kelly?
Well, I have two John Fabric Story signs.
Oh and one in my boat yard and one in my front yard.
No Trump, I don't have a Trump sign because I couldn't get any.
Oh you know you should ask me. I know I would have. I would have taken it. Well, you are not so, so listen to this. Male respondents are more likely than female respondents, in fact, sixty one percent to fifty three to have displayed political signs in the past. That's crazy. I would have thought it was the opposite. Now they actually break it down into one other part, which is weird, which is hold on here. I don't care about region. I think anybody can guess those ages. Okay.
Ages ages thirty five to forty four are most likely to have three or more political signs on their lawn this year, and gay and lesbian are way more likely to have signs than straight people. That that's crazy. I wonder why that is. I do wonder why that is? Three O three seven one three eight two five five barb, what's going on with you?
Hi?
I'm I live in Douglas County. I'm seventy two years old. I've an Conrado Native, as is my husband, and we have always been registered Republicans. We have voted for other for Democrats in the past. We look at what they represent and what they're saying. I'll tell you what. This breaks my heart. What is happening and the viciousness in politics anymore. Can you imagine if a Republican said what Biden said today?
It's crazy.
They would be crucified. People are like sheep, like when the Pope recommended who they voted for four years ago, for Hillary Verse in twenty six.
Well, I think it's funny you mentioned that. I haven't said this part on here, but I think they kind of blew the Jewish vote, and I'm talking about the Democrats and the Catholics vote. They just don't care.
Yeah, they don't care anymore. No, but people have to be told what to do. We can't think for ourselves anymore. We can't look at what the person is really saying. And I've asked some of my staunch Democratic friends, well, what has Biden done for us? Are you better?
Now?
Now there's sheep like you said. They don't care. They don't know.
No, they don't know. But it breaks my heart.
And I know you said a couple of things. One, I want Shannon to play this again, but more importantly, last break, Harris was actually what was she getting on her airplane to go do something? And she actually made the comment that what did she say, Shannon, I know you were reading it to me. I didn't hear the exact words.
I can certainly look it up, but she basically disavowed Biden's comment.
Yeah, she said, you know, I'm not Biden. He said that I didn't, So she basically acknowledged that Biden literally called all Trump supporters garbage. Now the White House and the administration is trying to walk it back, but I want everybody to listen what they're trying to say now, including the fake news they're trying to actually say. He was just talking about the comedian that made the Puerto
Rican joke. But you judge for yourself and anybody out there, unless if you're lying to yourself, knows that he called everybody on the other side, more than fifty percent of the country garbage.
But here's what I the other day, speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well, let me tell you something. I don't know the Puerto Rican that I know, or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating down there is his supporters.
Wow. Can you imagine? Is there any other way to hear that?
If a Republican had said that, what we would be getting called it is ridiculous.
Do you know what?
Bob Kamala Hiras can separate herself from Biden?
No, she can't.
Wait wait, I don't think so.
But when Trump tried to separate himself from the comedian, they wouldn't allow.
Him to good protect exactly.
You talk about a double standard.
It's just like, well, all right, wait, wait, hold on to that point, though, both you. When we're talking about comedians, I mean, let's look at Chris Rock, Let's look at Eddie Murphy. Let's look at every gay joke, every white guy joke, every black joke. There's never a problem. You know why, Because they're comedians. They're trying to be funny.
To take a comedian, I could take Dave Chappelle and turn him into the biggest racist in the world, but that's not fair because he's.
A comedian, exactly.
You can't. It's all different. But Colorado used to be a Republican and the Californians who ruined their state totally ruined their state and now have infiltrated our state. And they have now ruined Colorado and now they're going to
other places. I don't know what it's going to take, but this breaks my heart, and I wish people would say for themselves, you know, sit down and look at their checkbook, look at their family, look at their morals, look at their values, and think what they want to do, not what they're being told to do, and see if this woman is going to truly do what is best for this country. And we are in trouble if she gets elected. And President Trump is a businessman, he knows
how to do things, and it's ridiculous. I'm so I'm afraid for this election.
You know.
I can't there was no aggression. I can't Trump. I can't wait for this election to be over. And anybody out there, by the way, thank you, Barb. I appreciate your call. Three l three seven one three eight two five to five. But anybody out there is welcome to come over to our side. Honest to God. Maybe you are a Democrat you're sick of it. And Trump isn't a typical Republican people, he just simply is not. I
don't know how else to explain it. In fact, a lot of Republicans if he didn't have such control over the party and more importantly, all the people in the country when it comes to people that want him in office, if he didn't have that, Guys like Bush don't like him pretty much. I'm not even sure if Reagan would like him. I would assume Reagan would, but a lot of Republicans. My point is, do not like this guy.
And he is doing things different than anybody else. He's not beholden to anybody, and he doesn't He speaks what he wants to speak. Maybe you don't like that, maybe he's too gruff for you, but the guy at least tells you what's going on. You can ask Kamala any question and all she'll do is come back with the same answer, which is a no answer every single time, a no answer. Everybody holds tight. Three oh three seven one three talk.

Three seven one three eight two five to five. Holy moly, So we had some What did they say when they called up Shannon? Someone called up and basically said, it's not his place to talk about Trump. Yeah it is, Sorry, guy, it's one hundred percent my place. I know it's a consumer show, and you know we're not supposed to talk
about that kind of stuff. But you know what, when the other side, the Harris Biden administration, when that side basically refers to me as garbage, refers to Tom Martino as garbage, refers to Dock his garbage, and Shannon and Kelly in over fifty percent of the United States is garbage, I will talk about it, and I'll talk about it till I'm blue in the face.
May I asked them too, but didn't.
When Trump was talking about the enemy from within, was he talking wasn't he talking about half the country?
No, of course not. He was talking about the administration one hundred percent. He was talking about the Justice Department that the Harris administration decided to decided to weaponize and go after him. That was a very simple one. But Tom, listen to this queue that up. You tell me exactly what he says. Go ahead, Shannon, And just the other day.
I speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating honor of garbage. Well, let me tell you something. I don't know the Puerto rican that I know, or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating down there is his supporters.
The only garbage I see floating around is his supporters. Now, Harris actually came out and condemned him. But the problem with that, Tom, is she works for the man. She's been part of that failing administration for four years. And to that jerk and to that guy that called up saying I shouldn't be talking about it. You know what, You're crazy. I don't like people calling Tom a piece of Let me.
Let me make this clear to listeners. Listen, I have chosen.
I have chosen to uh uh to just you know, talk about issues and stuff. And people say, well, what why is Mark doing this? Okay, so he's been with me twenty five or thirty years, So it's not like I'm going to tell him what to do. If he's filling in or doing the show or co hosting, I don't care. He can say what he wants. But I do want to take some consumer problems. So let's do that now, Steve.
Now. But because by the.
Way, we're silly if we think we could ignore everything, right, we can't ignore everything. But Steve, I'm gonna take I'll let you on and then you got to get off because I got to take some consumer calls. Steve, you have a quick comment, go ahead, Yes, I'll.
Make it quick. Camila and no way can be commander in chief and the world is in a mess. We made Trump to deal with the wars and all of the other countries. And watching her last night with her little speech, she's simply told lie after lie after lie.
Okay, well, thank you, we thank you for your comments. I got to go now to Who's Who's next? Deputy Bow has a follow a suggestion.
Now, what's going on with this sewing?
So we had a woman call up and this is a this is a good call, man. I stepped in personally on this one. But what's happening? So her sewing machines broke? I don't remember if you or I don't. I don't know if you remember the other day a woman called up with a sewing machine problem and the guy tried to fix it, but then moved out of state and invited her to a wedding. Do you remember this?
Yes, some crazy call?
Yes, Well it was her and she still has a problem. Her sewing machine doesn't work. It's an old one. It's a singer. I believe it's a metal machine. She wants to get it fixed. I just I was a little frustrated because I can't stand Kamala, and instead of like spending time on her call, I decided I was just going to buy her a new sewing machine and goes a little to her. Well it's nice, yeah, well I
appreciate that. But then I got some realistic emails saying, wait a minute, she sounds like she's, you know, eighty ninety years old. You try to hand her a new sewing machine. Oh no, no, yes, she's gonna have no idea how to use it compared to hers. So I put the word out, how can we get this lady's old singer fixed? And that's where we're at.
Okay, so Bo, what's your comment, sir?
Okay, I'm going to refer her to Rocky Mountains Sewing in Vacuum. They're one of the very last brick and mortar stores left that'll work on sewing machines and vacuums. I've used them in the past. I called them this morning to make sure they're still in business. I can give out the phone number in the address she takes that singer there, they'll be able to repair it.
Hey, Deputy Bow, I don't think she can get out of the house, so I don't know if you're close to there and you can grab it and bring it over, or if I got to drive over to her I don't even know where she lives and grab it and then bring it over to the place you're talking about. But however, we can work it out. I'll pick up the tab, but I just don't know if you could help me getting it there.
Well, i'll just give her get me her phone number off. Okay, good to make arrangements to pick it up.
Love it.
Beverly has a comment exactly go ahead, sorry both, Thank you very much, bro Bo. I mean excuse me, Beverly, what's going on with you?
Beverly?
Okay?
Hi, Yeah, the sewing and yeah, I do my livelihood sewing, so I get mine repair quite a bit. Yes, there are two great, two great people that I take it to for years and years. One is Steve Craft, but yeah, you do have to get the sewing machine to him. If she's in my area of Centennial, I'd be glad to help her out. Give I love doing that. I have number three three oh three nine four one three four one five. Now he has moved locations, so I
would call that number to see worries move. But I've used him for years.
Hey, Beverly, would you do me a big favor and please leave your info when we put you on hold with Kelly in case she does live near you. That could work out very well.
Thank you, Beverly.
Listen, I'd be glad to help her out. So, yeah, I do sewing forever.
Hey, Beverly, let me ask you a quick question. I did receive two different emails saying, if I brought her over, you know, a new singer from Amazon or oh Mark, they're like computers.
Now they're like computers.
Would that be that? Is there such a big difference between what she has? I mean, I don't know.
I don't have a sewing I just okay, I just bought a new one for a family, right, okay, I bought a new one, and I don't want to get into details. Buddy, here was like Beverly says, real quick, you had to do apps to work it.
Go ahead, bever you said she was in her seventies, so she's got one of the older singers. Those are worth quite a bit of money, and I mean it will never wear out?
Got it?
Can you still buy low tech sewing machines?
Is I guess what.
We're going to ask, Yes, buy a sow machine for one hundred bucks.
I'm talking about low tech new machines or are they that's probably that one hundred dollars?
One?
Yeah?
Well, no, those.
Are there, there's you know those are those are fine. These singers, Yeah, they do. With these singers that she is. I love to sing her sew machine and she's got an old singer. They are just so much different and then they never wear out. And I think that Steve could tell her if it can be fixed or not.
I'm telling you we had literally the apps that have to run some of these marks.
Yeah, I know there is. Hey, Beverly, hold tight. We really appreciate that. Tome We got it. We got to take this break Nit one, Pearl two.

So what we're gonna do is we are going to talk about that coming up all right now, let me get let me get talking
about this insurance thing, Jerry. So, Jerry, I would like to know, did you just say to them your first juster said I needed a roof or did they say he did said you did not need a roof. Did they clarify that before sending out a second adjuster. I'm just curious about that. Did they clarify it?
Well, they called the female from the safe Cole called me and said that I do not that there was no damage according to the pictures that they received, and he when they the gentleman, the gentleman took the pictures, he said there was damage and that he said he was going to send him to his report and the pictures showing that it was needed.
Okay, so bottom line is right now they're denying your roof.
So now where are you going?
So anyway, I went to a second the second adjuster, and they the gentleman showed up and he didn't even have a ladder to get on my roof. And then I explained that to the lady because she came back because she she denied their report. Unsure what they had said. Well, the third one came out. He spent over two hours on the roof taking pictures and he told me that his report and pictures are going in that it shows that I do need a new roof. Well again, she
came back and said it was She denied it. I says, well you had two already.
Crazy.
No, no, no, no, no, that's what safe code does. He's got to get someone like Matt on his side from Paragon Services time. I'm not kidding. Safe co came out and told me I had no claim whatsoever. This is about nine or ten months ago. I got Matt involved and I'm getting a check for probably about sixty thousand plus. It went from sorry, so sad, no coverage to bam, your covered one hundred percent. He's just got to get somebody involved. They will stonewall you to death.
And it's not just Safego. All these insurance companies now because of all the hailstorms in the payouts simply don't want to pay. So until you do something, they don't pay.
Evil Mark is that people. They just don't want to pay. It's happened to me twice. Okay, Jerry, we want to You really need to call Matt okay over at Paragon Services. We can get your number up, we can get a kitchen the number. It's a referrals dot com. He's been successful, especially against Safeco and Mark is saying it's par for the course. Now with Mark, weren't they denying some water damage?
Mark?
Yeah, So what happened is, first of all, I'm one of the few people that have flood insurance, and really the chances of my place ever flooding are like next to nothing. We had a crazy hailstorm. We had about three feet of hail pile up against our glass door on an eighty five degree day. The storm rolled out, the sun hit it. It basically melted the hail so quick it came in through our glass door under it into our kitchen and ruined our hardwood basically on the
first floor. And first they said, well, that's flood damage, so therefore you don't have coverage, and I pointed out, with a minute, I have a rider for flood. And then they said, oh, well, because it's on the second story. That's where our patio is is on the second story or the main floor, it's a walkout. They said, oh, well, flood has to happen at the ground level. So they were coming up with every reason in the world why
I wasn't covered. So I got Matt involved in within about I don't know, within five days, Matt was out at my house with a rep from Safego and they all agreed I had coverage. But up until that point I was denied twice through the bastards.
Okay.
Now, the bottom line is because if that, if that adjuster truly said you needed a roof, and if a contractor or a roofer says that if you deny a legitimate claim, they can they they not only have to pay trouble damages, but attorneys fees, and there are attorneys that will take bad faith claims.
Oh, go ahead, were you No, You're absolutely right. The only caveat to that is if you guys negotiate before the trial and they come to their senses, you won't get to treble damages.
All right.
Now, go to Paragon Services, look for a mettreferless dot com.
And then Linda, Well, Linda, what's going on? Linda?
Oh jeez, Linda, am I on the Yes you are, Linda?
How can we help you?
Linda?
Well, it seems I'm dealing with safe co too.
What what's happening on July?
First, they're insured, ran a red light, hit my line?
Oh sign you're not insured by and but they're insured is okay? So on July first, and somebody insured by Safeco hit you.
Yes, they destroyed my nineteen ninety two Berger Capri, which was in excellent condition with all original cars, the original engine, with only sixty five thousand miles on it. Because before I got.
It, what year is it owned it?
Nineteen ninety two?
Okay? Did they run a stop sign?
You said they.
Ran a red light on a six lane road?
Where did they get a ticket for that?
But yes they did?
And how bad is the damage to your car?
It totaled it?
Okay?
Now my car Internet sells for six to ten thousand dollars in good condition with all original parts and things. They then tell me that it was only worth three thousand dollars.
Now, well, it depends.
It depends.
I mean if it's a classic car or an antique, less antique would be forty years right, yes, so it's not forty years old.
It's a classic, which is twenty years right, he's.
Thirty two years old if it's a ninety two, right, So that's a classic almost almost an antique.
It's a classic.
And if you can prove the value, they have to pay you the value.
It's that simple.
No, this is what happened. I sent them from the internet four cars it sold for between six and ten thousand dollars, right, I sent them one that was currently being sold.
Yes, okay, yeah.
Well they said they were only going to give me thirty one thousand something, and then with the fees and stuff, it was going to be about one thousand more. Okay, I said, And they came up with all kinds of reasons why they couldn't use any of the stuff.
Give me, give me one reason they gave you.
Oh, they said, well, see nineteen ninety one to nineteen ninety three for that car never changed. I sent them three nineteen ninety one that were selling far between six and ten, and one nineteen ninety three that was selling far six to ten. I sent them a nineteen ninety two one that was currently going the tail.
Let's just get right to it. You need someone on your side. Where does this stand right now? Where does it stand right now? Did you settle on? No?
I didn't settle. I told him that was too low.
They Linda, listen, I'm asking where it stands right now, not what you went through today.
Where does it stand?
Thank For three months I've tried to settle with them. I told them if they'd put my two brand new tires I had just put on that were only on.
So where does it stand today, Linda?
They won't give me much. They won't return my call.
They won't Okay, let's let's help you out here. Now.
Listen, she needs to invoke you know what she needs to invoke time? Of course, you do, well, the appraich. Oh, the other person's insurance.
Yeah, she's not insured by them.
So what she needs to do is get like petty details on her side to do some valuations. And you don't get to sue them for bad faith or anything because they're not your company. However, Linda, I would find the value of that car based on petty details, which is on referraless dot com.
They're an appraisal service.
And then I would sue the other driver directly, or at least threaten to sue the other driver and make that other driver yell at his insurance company. That insurance company has no obligation to you. Whatsoever I would like to get.
I would like to get a petty on and I'll tell you why. Tom. I'd like to give her an evaluation over the air real quick. If we can get them on. But the other question I'd have for him on a nineteen ninety five. I mean, I realize she's painting it is the best, the Rolls Royce of all buicks or whatever. But I wonder if there is diminished value as well on a vehicle that's so old.
No, because it's being totaled, if it was being fixed on something else. Linda, Linda, hang on, let's come right back to you, Linda. Here's the bottom line. We need to know the value. That's it, period, there's no magic. We need to know the value. Then we need to go after the insured, not the company. They do not have a contractual obligation to you. I'm Tom Martinez.

Hi, Tom Martino, your troubleshooter three oh three seven one three talk three
oh three seven one three eight two five five. Okay, so let's keep going here, and uh we have uh who's next here? Okay, Linda? What's going on with you?
Linda?
Your accident?
We have Matt?
Well, why do we have mats?
Okay?
Linda?
And you said someone was going to call me or talk to me on the phone.
Linda? Is this okay? Well, Matt's not the one we need for Linda.
No, Matt was for the that roof problem, yeah, which we don't have on there.
So we have Linda talking about Linda.
We what we wanted to do is tell you to get Paragon Services.
They'll give you a free valuation of how much your vehicle's worth.
We were going to try to get them on the air, right now, let's.
Do that time. Let's try to get Kelly. Let's try to get yeah, petty details on. In the meantime, let's at least ask Matt the question if an adjuster comes out from Safeco says you need a new roof, but then the Safeco corporate office says, no, I mean what that want you do?
What happens?
Let's let's figure that out if we if we can get.
Him on, we will, he's Matt.
Yeah, I'm here.
Wait, we're talking about cars. Now, we're talking about cars. But now let's switch to the other one. That's what you wanted to do, Mark.
Yeah, Kelly's gonna get petty details. We just had him in the wrong position, all right.
So Linda has a uh not Linda, but somebody called in with a roof complaint. Okay, it's Jerry, and he said that they're telling him he doesn't have damage. Their own adjuster, according to Jerry, told him he needs a new roof.
Now to me, that seems like bad faith right off the bat.
Yeah, totally.
I wonder if it was an actual employee of an insurance company or a third party guy.
But even if it was.
A third party guy, they're using a lot of independent adjusters right now because they can't keep up with it, and.
So does it make a difference.
Yeah, they Well, these independent guys are from out of state, a lot of them. They're not as well versed in hailed damage assessment.
But if they come out and they say, yeah.
I see damage, and we'll send you an estimate and a payment, and they get to that point, you know, the company's pretty in most cases obligated to honor that. But I do need more information. I mean, if they approved it on site and shot it down to the office, that's big, big bat safe.
No, No, for sure, Yeah, that's what I thought. You know what we might need to do is we told him to call you. But in general, in general, what if the adjuster denies he said that because he got in trouble or something.
I mean, you know what I'm saying.
Are you entitled to get that report right at the time he's doing it so when he goes back to the insurance company, he can't change it.
So in most cases, they're supposed to respond with the written determination within a reasonable time, so that would be about a week.
To ten days.
So yeah, I mean, if it's just what I'm asking you, is, while the adjuster is there, would he be able to give you a plumbinary report. I mean, just if he's he's he's or does he go back to the office and write it up.
Most of the time they'll go over the scope of damage with you and say, yes, I see a need for roof replacement, gutters, windows, whatever. They'll give you that verbal sort of scobe of damage. Some carriers write their estimate on site in their work van and print out a check right there. State Farm does that.
Wow, So if this is a safe courier, this is safe Co and safe Co. Apparently the adjuster said you need a new roof, and then when he went back to the office, the office called and said we're denying it. But they said the adjuster found no damage. So how do you tell who's telling the damn truth? I mean, you got to record the adjuster at your house.
I guess, Well, if you have a roofer or a contract or you know on site, that's helpful. But ultimately, in this circumstance, I would just say give me a call, I'll go out there, or I'll send some of my guys out there to do a damage scope and say, hey, they got this wrong, and we'll fight them and get it.
Yeah, I mean.
It gets I think when you get involved, they're so afraid of treble damages.
They usually settled, they do, and you know, it really depends on the carrier. There's some good ones and bad ones. We've been through that. But ultimately, I think, especially with the large volume of claims that they have from hurricanes and such, they're just trying, like heck to deny or underpay a lot of stuff.
Well how do you say that with mine though, Matt? I mean, my guys at SAFECode denied me one hundred percent. That was before these hurricanes, but it was still SAFECode. And then I got you involved, and I'm getting fifty to seventy grand I mean, what excuse did they have then?
Well, and that's a good point. They saw what they thought was something to hide behind, basically, try to dodge and use semantics to work around your policy language, you know, saying hey, this is flood damage and then going saying oh no, it's not flood damage. They're just trying to pull the Oki dok on you. You know, and you know, and so that's why you know, we're still battling this out through appraisal.
Tom, He's going to be at my You're coming out for that appraisal thing right.
Right the twelfth, Yeah, yeah, twelfth to Mark.
What do you have going on?
So, so how it works is he got me the coverage and they're willing to pay whatever, forty thousand whatever, but we want seventy. So what Matt did was hooked me up with one of his guys that invoked something in my policy to where we hired an appraiser to come out in a praiser clause. Yeah, and they're sending one out. But what's interesting and I didn't know this, and Matt, I didn't know this.
Man.
This is very interesting for people out there when you would invoke that clause if it truly is the appraisal clause. I didn't realize the insurance company had to pay for my guy as well as their own.
Yeah.
Ultimately, if you get the award, most costs should be covered.
Yeah. Well the guy told me they were the guy that you if that's coming out with you told me that I don't pay him at all. He gets paid by Safego.
And another thing, it's binding on the insurance company, but I do not believe it is binding on the consumer.
Is it?
So it's basically you're hiring as a homeowner, you're hiring an appraiser. Insurance company hiring an appraiser, and those two try to work out the coverage disputes. Right, they can't work it out, they go to an umpire, and the umpire has to be split between the insurance company and the homeowner.
And that's where we're at right now with mine. Right when they go to the umpire, though, is that is that?
Man?
Do you do you have to buide by it? Is it binding on both parties?
Yeah, appraisal, once it's the decision is made, that's final. But in this circumstance, I feel so good about where we're at. You can't argue with it.
Why are they.
Disputing taggling over over flooring? And you know the baseboards that Mark has. There's a lot of custom stuff in this house. It's not run of the mill stuff that people that work for the insurance companies can generate and exactamate, so it's trickier. That's why we have all these pros digging in. It's it's stuff that they can't argue with.
All right, we have more coming.

I'm Tom Martinez.
You're troubleshooter at Threel three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. Uh, I'm gonna bring up somebody that's been calling over and over and over and over and over and over and over over the years. And his latest dilemma is he's he he he stopped earning, he's older, he's got to go fundme site, he's running out of money. He's afraid he's going to be homeless due to personal injury. Now he has a couple of personal injury lawsuits going on, and he's trying to wait
for that payoff again. That's why he won't leave Jersey, where his costs are exceeding the income he brings in with social Security and with a pension.
So basically he's.
In a hard way. And he wanted me to promote his GoFundMe, which I did. You go to GoFundMe dot com and put in Drew dr E W. Bradford and you'll see his page. What I did say was I didn't think it would do him any good in the long run because of the devastating economic hardship he's facing. And I don't believe, based on what he described and based on conversations with his attorney that his personal injury lawsuit is going to go anywhere.
Now.
Again, I sometimes tell people things they don't want to hear when they call my show. But I don't want to protect I don't want to make him sound like if.
I promote GoFundMe, his trouble's over. It's not.
And he wants to raise twenty grand I hope he does raise it, but it's not going to solve his problem. That personal injury. The thing is not going to make his life. And by the way, they're going to look at him at seventy seven years old, and here's what they're going to say, in my opinion, Drew, and I'll let you talk. They're going to say, even if you were injured in this personal injury, how much did it rob you of future income at seventy seven years old.
I mean, these are all some of the things people ask. But again, if you want to donate, you can go to GoFundMe. You put in Drew Bradford and it says help seventy seven year old Drew Bradford stay housed, and he.
Put up.
And right now, okay, so he's got ten dollars raised. I keep getting power hit guys. I don't know what's going on with my house. But all right, Drew, go ahead, sir, Thanks.
You for letting me go ahead. Tom, I was always nice to you. I'm rekind you and that's what I am. But the other day you were absolutely full and vicious to me. He said, even if we got to twenty thousand, it's not going to help.
No, I'm just that's my opinion. That's my opinion, Drew.
Oh, can I state my opinion?
Sure?
Go ahead, state your yes.
State your opinion, sir, and you cut me off. State your opinion.
My lawyer. I spoke to my lawyer. I knew he never said it. He said he never said that, and your show is fraud because he never said that. We have a very legitimate he did.
He said it was going to take He said it would take three to four years, if anything.
You never said that. Did he say that to you? He said it to one of your deputies.
Yes, he did.
Maybe he never said that.
Okay, Well I don't.
I believe.
I believe my deputy, and I believe this attorney is afraid of you and disappointing you because he believes that you're going to do all kinds of ethics kind of complaints and he's probably just telling you what you want to hear.
But Drew, I'm not going to listen.
Drew.
My deputy talked to him and he said, never.
Let Meca what you do all the time to hide the crew going on your Trew.
This is the last time we're going to talk, so make it good. Go ahead.
You forget twenty five years ago. You did the same thing to me when I was doing your buddy Merrill Lynch. You said it was saying you never succeed, and we did succeed. We bankrupted Mary Lynch, and for the same type of bullying by you. Now, in any case, my attorney, this is a very legitimate case. There's plenty of evidence, there's expert reports, and they aren't hired gun experts. They're the treating the treating doctors.
When did he say, When did he say it would be settled?
Drew?
It's not going to be settled. It's going to trial in about six months.
Okay.
I want you, I want to make you. I want to make you ag I want to make.
You a bet.
I want to make you a bet.
I'll make you a bet that it doesn't go to trial in six months.
Listen, I don't run the court system. I'm just an honest witness.
I'll make you a bet it doesn't go to court in one year.
How much you want to bet.
You tell me one year from today you're not in court with this case.
Two okay, you're on now.
Well, so there's other things you told people. Even if they sent the twenty thousand dollars, it wouldn't help me.
That's a lot I said.
It wouldn't be an answer to your problems.
Yes, it would be because if we can get rent and I can just keep going tell the trial, which my attorney says should be in about six seven months, then I can last. I can't play the case from the street. And I've always been sincere with you. Your deputy is false, my attorney. I know my attorney very well. Hey took care and it's not one case, it's two cases. I were sent by two cars. In fact, they're going to operate on me because I'm still critically injured. Okay, do you make light of it.
I'm not I'm not making I'm not making light of it.
I just don't believe that it's going to come through to the extent you think it will.
To solve your problems.
And I still.
Know I am a true preacher from heavenly coology. Okay, Okay, I know you don't believe in God. You've told me that before, Drew.
I hang up on Drew. Goodbye, Drew. Don't ever, don't call me an atheist. I've never told you that ever.
Now, See, why would he lie like that that I don't know?
I mean, what I have? Ever?

Now Tom Martine, Hey, welcome to the show.
I'm Tom Martino, here to help you solve problems, answer questions, and take complaints.
So as one of.
My guests say, I have Joel with doctor Joel and Chart act with uh Denver Regen dot com Joel Mark even said, and Mark skeptical, And I went for this thing. How long ago did I do my first treatment for hair with stem cells?
When I want to say, it was about four or five months ago?
Okay?
Was it that long?
About four month?
Okay?
So I've had three treatments, and I know the three treatments come a month apart, so I know it's at least three months. So the first one yeah, it would have been a month well first maybe okay.
Three or four. So here's the bottom line. I actually had new hair growth.
I can't believe it again, Like you know, I'm not saying, oh, well look at me. You know I'm John Travolta, but oh, actually he's bald. Let's say, who has good hair right now?
Anyway?
I do Tom?
Yeah, okay, thanks, thanks Doc? Which a can somebody mute that guy's mic once and for all?
He I want him?
He does, have him?
Go talk to Drew anyway, Jimmy Johnson. But let's talk about it seriously. It's working. Are you getting good results from people?
We're getting fantastic results.
And it's not uh pair transplants, although you know if people have those that Mike Brown did a great job.
His did a great He looks good. But there was no surgery. Was nothing, man.
That's that's the benefit of it. There is no surgery. How long did it take you in our practice to do it? Less than a half an hour?
Right, I was in there for a half hour. They extract, they did everything, they put it all on, and.
I left right, So it's not a surgery. What we're adding is regenerative products. So we call it a stem cell procedure, but really what it is it's the byproduct of stem cells. What is that you called this exosomes, exosomes, exosomes, it's what stem cells.
And by the way, exosomes have been known, they're doing intravenous exozomes. We do that, Yeah, we do that, and so intravenous exosomes have been having marvelous effects on organs and tissues and right, and.
Just very simply, what exosomes are are the chemical signals the proteins that the stem cells create. So you're basically getting all of the concentrated power of the stem cells in the exosomes. So what we're able to do is take the exosomes, use that with some regenerative products from your own body, the PRP, and we're able to inject that and that promotes hair growth. Now we learn this procedure from a clinic that was experimenting with it in
California and getting great results. So we basically copied their protocol, changed a couple of things to make it a little bit better.
But what we been seeing is remarkable results.
And I get you get three treatments for the for the price three treatments, yes, month apart. Yes, And how long would you say it took before you started having people telling you that they noticed the difference.
Six weeks?
Yeah, I mean that's pretty remarkable.
I think it is remarkable. Man, I can see it on YouTube, which is it's absolutely crazy. Doc I like he said, I'm skeptical. I mean, I guess I've known technology or or medicine or whatever you want to call it has changed, but the fact that his hair is like completely growing everywhere is crazy.
Yeah.
The problem is you got a lot of BS clinics out there promoting the world. Yeah, but what we're doing actually works, and you know, we're we're competing with other clinics that do hair transplants for twice the amount of money.
Well, here, here's the easiest part. You go back to our YouTube channel. Just go to you know, go to the Troubleshooter network on YouTube and pick a show from prior to his first session with you, and then look at today's show. I mean it's like he's wearing a wig, but it's actual hair. It's nuts.
Anyway, Welcome to the show, and Joe, if people have questions, they can call us. Now I'm gonna bring up Uh, let's bring up the studio and Wilbert wants to talk about twenty twelve Chevy Malibu and he said it was in the shop since October third, in the body shop. So continue with your story because I hijacked your story, Wilvert right before the break.
Go ahead, okay, all right, okay? So the only so, so what was wrong with the car is the power storing went out?
Okay.
So I took it to him. And first of all, it's nice guy. Never had any problems with him. He's six my car before. I'm not signing a bad bad mouthl R. No, go ahead, man, okay. So I took it to him in uh uh, told them, well with the problem, and I said, hey, power stearings out? Can you fix it? Yes? I can. Okay, so head call all week and it did call me in in a week or two. So I uh uh I called him
and he said, we're still working on it. Uh we gotta we gotta get no. He called me, actually did I want a new one or did I want to old one? So some kind of part that goes wilbur Maybe.
I misunderstood you, but I guess I did misunderstand you.
It was a problem with service, not with the body shop, because I said, the average time in a body shop is two months.
You're just talking about normal service, right, I'm.
Talking about service.
I'm talking about and I'm thinking.
I'm thinking I could have much So it wasn't It wasn't there a long time for service. You shouldn't have to be in there for three weeks or four weeks for service.
That's what I'm thinking. That's why, that's why I want to talk you. Am I am I wrong here?
So?
Uh?
I mean if he if he's had your car since October third, yeah, you should be concerned.
If it's just for powers Sotober eighth, October.
Eighth, Yeah, okay. So I went in there and he told me, okay, we're so I went. I went in there and I said, hey, where's my car?
What's going on?
Says the boss. I said, what's going on in Boston? He says, okay, well, but let me show you something. I got you your power steering sikes. He showed me the cars in the shop. He turned turned the engine on. All the stuff was all all over the place, but he showed me the engine was turning. So he thinks that what he was supposed to think. So he said, the only thing I'm waiting for is to get it programmed. And I said, okay, get me what programmed? I don't know.
He just said he's got to be programmed because they I guess when he hooks it back up, everything is not well.
Are you talking about a power steering pumped?
I think that's what they put in there.
Yeah, well, I never heard of a power stare.
What kind of car is it?
It's a twenty twelve Chevy Malibu.
I've never heard of that having to be.
I don't know. I just never heard of that happened to be programmed. Let's just call up hold on, Let's get one of our experts on.
Okay, let's call Kevin, but he knows.
Yeah, let's uh, let's do that.
Share it an Auto tech through three. We talk hold on, Wilburt, Let's get somebody on it. So, so they say they have to program your power steering pump. That is the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life. Bridgette or Bridget, I'm sorry, Bridget.
What's going on? Hi there?
Thank you?
Hi?
What's going on? Bridget? Yes, what's happening.
My eighteen year old son a car, first time, no credit. So I co signed for him, and we spent the usual lots of hours at the dealership signing paperwork, and left that.
Evening and oh wait, this is a brand this is a brand new one.
Yeah, wow, he got he got this.
He was all excited, this all electric car with two or three years of charging, this two year lease, and he did all the math. He was going to save on gas, and so I co signed for him.
You know what, that that's a that's a nice car, by the way, So what's going on.
He's very happy with the car. So since that day, we have been receiving multiple requests from the dealership. Oh, we need this from you, copy of your social Security cards. I'm like, well, I haven't seen my Social Security card since nineteen ninety, but I can give you dinos. And we gave me dinos copy. I hand delivered a copy of his those security cards because we just didn't want that to flying through email or anything. Then a few days go by and they're like, we need proof of
address again. So I sent in a bank statement with proof of a bank account and the address on the same floor. Then I had to send in a copy of his They're like, well, does he have an electrical bill.
In his name?
I'm like, no, we looks at home, and I said, and.
All, I just keep getting requests for paperwork.
Today.
I got multiple phone calls I teach, so I'm having to step out of the classroom. And I told I have to go back in and resign things because their E system was down. And even though we did paper signing.
That's not good enough.
So hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Are you sure they're not going to try to change the deal.
So I'm not sure. That's why I'm calling you, Tom.
You helped me in the past.
I go all the way back to the nineties with you.
Okay, now, Bridget, they want you, my goodness, they want you to sign new paperwork, and I'm not going to.
I'm going out of town. I said, I can't be there and I'm not going to miss more time out of my class.
What's the name of the dealer.
Well, it's a Rappo Hondai and Devin there says he knows you, and that he said go ahead and call Tom. He knows us.
Well, I do know them. I do know them. They're not terrible people, But I don't understand the need to read me.
Well, well, the okay, when you say terrible, the requesting documentation seems a little sloppy.
They kept over and over again.
But did they ever ask for the same thing twice or was it stuff they never got in the beginning or what?
So now they're telling me that Lexi is not there and I have to resend everything.
So who did you?
Okay, who said they know me down there? I'm going to have Deputy d call down there? Who said that they know me?
Okay? You know what I do recall?
You know, Mark, do you think a rapp a Hyundai is a bad dealer. I don't think they're a bad I don't want to say they're a bad dealer. They're a pain in the ass dealer in my opinion.
When Tom, Yeah, I went there and I purchased my Hyundai from someplace else because of the way that I was treated there. That's all I'm gonna say.
How were you treated the.
Very rich?
Well, I'll give you one example. You know, when you take a test drive, they want a copy of your license. Yeah, so I brought in a copy of my license front and back and instead of giving them my physical license so that when they could hold it in hostage, which you know some dealerships do, I said, here's a copy. I showed them my license. I said here's a copy, and they said they wouldn't let me do it without them physically having my license. So I left.
Physically having your license. There's two reasons for it. One, oh, it's absurd. You're supposed to have it when you're driving, right, and I gave it.
There's two reasons why dealers keep it.
One is they think, you know, if you you're less likely to steal a car if they have your license.
But then then there's another reason, and that is when you come back from.
The test drive, they keep it there and it keeps you at the dealership back and when you say, wait a minute, I need to leave, where's my license? Say okay, we'll get it, and then they keep delaying. It's an old fashioned, stupid trick, which is.
Why Yeah, which is why I gave them a copy. And the young gonna steal a car because somebody's salesman is with you in the test drive.
Oh wait a minute, the salesman was going with you. Yes, of course that's ridiculous. Okay, hold on, let's I'm gonna have Deputy d call over there to Devin, so bridget. Let's get your information first off the air, and then we're gonna we're gonna try to cipher through this. Three oh three seven one three eight two five five listen.

An autotech is with us as our auto expert. Wilbert had a question. Hey, Kevin, So Wilbert basically says that his car's been in the shop twenty twelve. Chevy Malibu's been in the shop for three weeks waiting for a power steering pump. They replaced a power steering pump, and now they say it's going to be another week
or so because they have to program it. Have you ever heard of a power steering pump being programmed?
Not the pump, but the rack and pinion is electronic? Would need to be programmed?
If that's okay?
Would that have to be programmed?
Would that have to be programmed as a result of changing out a power steering pump?
No, no, but he's saying the rack and pinion might have to be Yeah, but okay, but.
It's electronic steering though.
Are they connected? Is what I'm asking?
Are they connected in a point where you would always have to do that upon replacing the power steering pump or something in the old power steering pump made the programming ineffective or something.
I don't know what I'm asking.
No, No, not at all. No, No that Wilkes.
Did you have a rack and pinion work done?
Everything was working fine before I took it over there.
But no, no, but why did Okay, Wilbert, why did you take it to the shop.
Because of the powers doing it went out? It will carry easy like I used to?
Could that?
Okay?
Could that be Kevin?
Could that trigger a reprogramming of the rack and pinion once they worked on it?
No, not at all. No, it's it's the change would would require programming, but any work would not. No, so unless it's an electronic steering And he's not talking about the pump, but the electronic steering motor that's you know, inside the.
What did they replace, Wilbert?
What's same?
What did they rear?
They were supposed to replace the power steering pump is what I was sold. And then when I went in there, he says, okay, well we got that working, but we got to get somebody else to come in and program program What I don't know, but program something.
So that how much does this whole job costing?
Do you know?
Uh?
I think he said about eleven hundred?
Would that be more than a pump there, Kevin?
Yeah, he's he's got electric steering. So it's a steering motor on the on the steering column that they replaced. It's it's really not a power steering plumb.
Okay, and that would be and that would require programming, okay, Wilbur.
But he was like he said, he said they couldn't do it. He had to get somebody else.
To come in and do it.
From what.
Why is that, Kevin, guy that we have a guy that comes and does it for us all the time.
Okay, So it sounds Wilbert, they're not giving you a story.
Okay, all right. I just wanted to make sure.
Three weeks unreasonable for this kind of repair nowadays, Kevin, that's that's two.
Three days topsh with program.
With program program.
But we have the money.
You know, you're telling him we'll do the job. We'll need you out here tomorrow, and he's scheduled with that way, so yeah, it can be done a lot quicker.
So Wilbert, you did probably he's saying, you know, it's way over time. But as far as what they're telling you, it seems to ring true. What about the price, Kevin, does that price?
See in line?
That's that's that's common.
Yeah, that's not that So long should I keep it there? How much longer should I?
Well?
I don't know if you have a choice right now. I mean when did they say? When did they say it would be done?
They're probably having trouble finding someone to program it.
It's probably the case. They said they said that it would be done. What they what they told me? My wife went down there on on Friday, and they said, well, well, we will give you guys a call before we do anything else. That's what they said. We'll give you guys a call on Monday, just before we do any.
Other work to it.
That's what they told my wife. I was out of town. They told my wife. She told me that and this was she said they would call Monday, which was yesterday, And I didn't call it. I just called you guys.
Well, to me, that sounds like they're pretty reputable. That they're if they're gonna do any more work, they're checking with you first, don't you agree, Tom?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know. I think I think that.
I don't know.
I don't think they're doing anything wrong. I just think people are delayed nowadays. Kevin, are you sure two or three days for changing out that motor and getting it reprogrammed?
That's all it with you, That's all It is pretty typical repair, all right.
And I think listen, thinking right I thinking right time. Because my wife said the guy, the guy who came in and repair and tried to program and told them that he thinks they hooked up something wrong.
Well, when do they say it's going to be done? That's the bottom line.
They did not say, Well call him today and.
Say listen, man, I called another shop that's reputable and they said it would be a two or.
Three day job.
I need to know why the delay, and I need to know when I'm getting my car back. Okay, just just be straight with me on this one. Call us back and let us know.

Hey Tom Martino, your troubleshooter.
I want to know of the YouTube.
Morons, since most of it's done off the air, if they're witnessing the person at risk kind of harassment I'm getting being a seventy one year old man, I'm sounding like Drew now right, Okay, so I'm a seventy one year old being subjected to insults by the way Mark, I'm just gonna say this, you hit a nerve with this one guy.
I swear to God, I have to have every day.
What does he say? What's he texting every day? What's his name? What's his phone number? What's his address? I don't have his name, but so he's anonymous.
Here's what he says.
Oh wait, does he at least call me handsome?
Tom Mark talks about how dumb Kamala is. But I don't see Trump being invited to join Menza. His name's Monty Trump, Monty Trump.
Start either Trump.
One might thinks, either Trump believes he's going to lose the election or he's he self consciously trying to lose the race, which is hard to believe, seeing when if he loses, he has a sentence hearing and he'll go to jail.
Blah blah blah.
Okay, here's another one.
Tom, the comedian at Trump's rally, said that Puerto Rico is an island of garbage. And we want to know the comedian speech was vetted by the Trump campaign. It was it was in the teleprompter and it says calling VP Harris the C word, and the campaign took it out. Trump campaign tried to separate themselves. However, Trump never personally condemned the comments. Tom I remember.
Okay.
Anyway, he says, here's another text. Mark does not have a clue about politics. He simply likes Trump because he's a blowhard like himself.
Excellent.
That's not Monty, that's somebody excellent. Mark. I'm sorry, man, I'm getting these techs, but I am getting to be honest. Okay, let me be straight here.
Even though you abuse me off the air, I'm gonna be honest about this. Most of the texts, most of the texts are in your favor, saying you go, boy, you did a great job.
Say it like it is. Tom doesn't have the nerve to say what you say. Blah blah.
Ever since I have flushed out that you have admitted to voting for Trump, it has made people angry. They don't like hearing from Tom Martino, someone that's been trusted in this community for over forty five years, just here in Denver that they're voting for Trump. They hate hearing that we all know you are voting for Trump.
You asked me the question straight out, and and I know, and I get that.
That's the most hate mail I get is that.
They don't like that I'm voting for you.
They do not like that you admitted you're a Trumper.
No, I didn't say I'm a Trumper.
I said, I'm well, if you're voting for Trump, it's pretty straightforward. If you're voting for Harris, you're pretty much straight up a dumb ass.
I mean a Democrat, see Mark, Okay, I almost look Okay, I go ahead, sir.
I don't want spit it out, Joe.
I don't want.
We have kind of a lopsided country right now, and I don't like it. I think we need balance. That's that's why I'm voting that way. And I think on the issues, he's not going to get in the way of what Republicans want to do, and right now, I feel Republicans have a better agenda for the country.
I'm not, but I'm not on a soapbox saying and if you don't, you're a dummy. Although, well, I.
Do that because the other side has been calling him hitler for eight years. So I finally came up with it the other day. I'm so sad. I'm going to start going fire and brimstone on them as well. I mean, if they can do it, we should do it. Okay, So again, you know, I'm not I have my thoughts in my opinion, but I want everybody to remember Tom Martino trusted. Tom Martino is voting for Donald Trump. Don't get it wrong.
Well that's the way it is, actually, Mark, I already did, well, that's even better.
I sent in the ballot.
That's even better.
But I do want to say on a serious note, while I'm not no, no, we dropped it off at that thing and then we had a bonfire. No, I'm just kidding. We dropped it off. Mine was accepted.
I got the notice that it was accepted.
This is important.
While I don't like talking about personalities, and I don't like talking about because I can't brag about Trump's personality one way or the other. I can't brag about Kamala Harris's personality the other. Look, we all have our personalities, but I can talk about issues. And I believe really we don't have a voter's guide. But some of these amendments are sneaky that are on the ballot. They're really sneaky, and the way they word them.
To me is incredible.
And I think when we have time, Mark, we really would do a service by going over amendments.
We should have done it Monday. To be quite honest, Well, it is what a lot of it? You're you're right, But because then here's the problem. If we go over them, all the babies out there that text you, all the little whiners like the guy you were just talking about, are going to say, oh, no, we do want to raise taxes. How dare you say we shouldn't raise taxes again on people or you know, whatever their dumb ass stuff is.
But it's really important that we uh that we go over amendments. And you're right, so many people voted, we probably are really really late to the party.
Miles. What is your question on foundation repair? Miles? I'm sorry that I made you wait. What's going on?
Man? Well, I've got some cracking in my foundation and it's going to my brick. I got estimate today from a company called Groundwork.

We used to have some really good companies.
Well, we've got someone on there that can do the design work or the structural engineering part, but I don't think they actually do the work. Then we have a lot of mud jackers as well.
Yeah, but mud jacket is not what he needs.
I know, That's what I'm saying.
By the way, I do.
Still know some people I believe that are good that I used to deal with. There's there's nothing wrong with groundworks. And I know why you've picked them. You picked them because they were first up on the do they do great SEO work. But I'll tell you who I've dealt with in the past, Colorado Structural Repair. Now they're not on the referral list right anymore, but they're not bad people at all. You ought to check with Colorado Structural Repair.
Okay, yeah, because I would like to get another estimate.
Yeah, do it.
But that's not a bad price, if truly it's gonna be And is it going to be engineered?
Yes, So what what they'll do I'll be part of that price is their engineer will determine what the load bearing is going to be good good because it's done on it's done on pressure. I guess whatever.
That's right, that's exactly right. You're being told the right stuff. But get just just call Colorado. And I'm not saying they're the only ones, but that I used to deal with them. I don't think anything is wrong with that company, Colorado Structural or Repair. Get get a bit from both of them, and we ought to start. We need to start interviewing people for foundation repair.
