So anyway, Dwight, let's start out things with Dwight. I'm Tom Martino. By the way, those tuning in. I've been doing this a long time, forty five years, and you know on radio here and also TV, but I don't do full time TV anymore as far as stories, just commercials. Dwight, Hey, man, what's happening with you?

What's going on? Man? Thank you? Dwight? What's going on? Man? Well? What I have going on is probably I don't know if you have enough time on your show. Well, we always have enough time, you know. People who say it's going to be a long story. I say, look, I can hear the story of creation in an hour. So why don't you just tell me start and we'll just take it from there. Go ahead, man, Okay, all right. What we've got here is a fulse was falsely arrested in twenty and seventeen. And what

was that for? Well, the reason I was you were not falsely arrested. You were really arrested. But but it was false for false you're saying what they were. The circumstances were sketch. So what was it about? So my wife had called me her daughter who was married to a guy that was twice her age, and her daughter was being basically beat up by her husband. Was this your stepdaughter? It is for to say your stepdaughter? Yeah? I should have Yeah, I should have clarified that that was my

stud No, No, that's okay. So your stepdaughter was being was being manhandled or beat up? Manhandled makes it sound too easy, but she was being abused by this uh, this bully. That's probably more accurate manhandled because he was trying to restrain her to take her home. She was visiting her mom at our house, and he went over there to take her from my god. Okay, yeah, okay, let's just let's just call it what it is. She's she's being abused. What happened? Then? Well,

I go out there. It's twelve o'clock at night, pitch black, and they're like two hundred feet away from my house or my condo. Now, wait a minute, So you went there and you witnessed this when you got there. Actually I did witness it. Actually they called I was at I was in my condo. I was upstairs watching television. Now, hold on, hold on, are at the time you were not married to this woman? Common law? Yeah, okay, so this your wife calls you and says, or were you home with her? I mean, you got a

phone call from who? I got a call from my wife, and she was and she said, and she said, my daughter's being hurt. Get over here. Her daughter and her were visiting each other. And they weren't in my bedroom. They weren't in the house that I know of. They were outside visiting. And Elizabeth's husband shows up, and whose house was this? Whose house was this? It was my place. It was our case, but you said you were it was your place, but you were not

there. I was upstairs because, oh, got it. The altercation took place outside, got it. You were in the house and she called you right, you got it? Sorry, sorry about that. And I was, you know, basically watching television and I get a call says, get down here as soon as you can, less us beating the crap out of us. And so I go down there, and this isn't his first time doing this. Uh he literally, well, let me, I can keep that out of it. But he was down there trying to reach well.

Usually usually when people do this, it's not a one time thing. Usually people have a history of this. So I don't I don't doubt that, but I need to know what happened. So how the hell do you get arrested? So I go down there and he has got her in a choke hold, and uh, I go down and I said, let her release her. I say his name, I said let her go, release her, and he ignored me, and I said it again. And of course now he's done this before. I never saw it before, but I saw

it this time. And so when he didn't release her or acknowledge me. The second time, I engaged and hit him a couple of times in the ribs. May have hit him, I don't know, a couple more times, but it wasn't a beatdown or nothing like that. As soon as I hit him, well who cares? I mean, the guy was so you tried to help your stepdaughter, right, right? And he did? Really

And what happened? Man? After you're engaged and he says, I'm going to call the police, And so he steps aside and calls nine one one, and basically I go back to the house, my daughter and my wife. They take off going somewhere, leaving the scene, and he's called the cops and they're knocking at my door. I go downstairs and the police. Now, wait, wait a minute, How the hell does this guy call the cops when he was the one and you were just trying to defend her,

right, That's that's what my attorney said. I should have been given a medal protecting. Well, what happened, man? What happened? You weren't found guilty of anything, were you? Well? No, no, but what happened? Tom? I go upstairs watch my television Again. I didn't think he was going to call the police. Actually, I think I did. I think I did. Know he did. So your daughter, your stepdaughter and wife took off. They take off, they went. Why

wouldn't they stick around to tell police what's going on? Man? Well, to be totally honest, my daughter was being a little bit of a trouble maker, and there was a restraining order. My wife had put her a restraining order because she was drinking and getting out of line and coming by and just starting trouble. There was a restraining order between the two of them. However, you know, once they were getting processed back all right, twight,

So I'm getting a picture here that's all weird. So okay, So the girls in the choke hold, you punch the guy out, The guy lets her go. She and the mom takes off even though there's a straining order between him. He calls police. Police arrive. Then what well, I'm already back in my bedroom upstairs. I didn't wait for the police to show up because I didn't think, well, yeah, so go ahead,

Now what happened? The cops are knocking at the door. I go downstairs and I'm talking to the police officers through a screen door, and they say, hey, do I come on out here? You know, why are you gonna just wait? Come on out here? And so I go outside and about ten to fifteen seconds later, one of the officers starts reaching for my head and I'm like, what are you doing? They never bring up

the altercation. All They basically had me come outside and I was talking about, you know, what's going on here in this and that, but we never got to the altercation. The guy starts trying to take my hand and put it behind my back, and I'm like, what's going on here? What do you do? And at that time they both throw me to the ground. And now remember this, okay, remember this. When the police show up, all they know is what this clown is telling them, right

right, Okay, we don't know what he told them. And so you go to the door. When you went to the door to talk to police, were you polite? Yes? Yes? Never did you tell them I was protecting my stepdaughter. Didn't get a chance the altercation ever came up. Well did you tell them? Did you say I know why you're here? You knew why they were there? I mean, come on, man, anyway, you didn't. You obviously didn't. So they arrested you. Let's get right to that point. They arrested you. Yeah, and there was

no blank space. And by the way, you don't you don't have to give each and every detail. Of course, they put your hands behind your back, they put handcuffs on you, they arrested you. Then what happened, Well, I get on to the ground and take them to the police station. Okay, I know, and you were booked in all of that,

but let's get to the bigger picture. Well, I think this is probably an important part of it. As I'm sitting down and the officers doing the paperwork, he had another police officer go to retrieve animal my record and she comes back and she shrugged and says nothing. And the police officer doing the payperwork and he just about has a stroke. He jumps up and has a go check again, and he's splunning his name right because I'm sixty one

years old without a police record. That was kind of it kind of surprised him. But anyway, well, hold on, so you do have a record, Dwight, I do, now. No. I meant, man, why was the guy when you were sixty one and you were at the police station in twenty seventeen, you said, the guy was shocked at what And I didn't have a police record. Oh why would anybody be shocked that a sixty one year old doesn't have a police record. There are a lot

of people without I guess nowadays, Tom, I don't know. Hold on, hold on, Dwight, hold on. I'm fascinated with your story. I want to know where it's going. I want to try to help you.

Problems question complains? Uh, basically, Dwight just telling us the story about back in twenty seventeen. He said, Uh, his stepdaughter was being bullied by her husband. Choke hold, he punched him out, get him to stop. Then that the husband calls the police. They show up and arrest Why. Okay, take it from there,

Dwight, No, no backdragon. What's the problem today, Dwight, Well, the problem today is that this is carried over. Well, let me let me finish real quick. So anyway, I go to court, and the judge looked at the video cam the whatever the cops were on their U body can kids on their body cams, and he says, I can't see why this man was arrested. I never used a swear word, never give them any attitude, you know, And so the case was thrown out

of court. My attorneys were at that time they see on you and uh so that basically I guess I had I had beat the cops that apparently had a ninety nine point nine victory. Well, police, what police? What police? Is the department? This was? This took place at the Aurora courthouse and well, I'm asking the police department? Was it Aurora, Aurora? Yes, I'm sorry. Now, please don't tell me ever since twenty seventeen because you beat them there after you well, I believe it started a

vendetta. Come on, dway, dway, do you realize Please don't have time for that crab. I'm serious, man, I mean it would be different if it would be different if you're a career criminal that keeps beating them at their game. But if you had a one time encounter with these guys and the case was dismissed, they don't even remember your name. That's probably true in most cases. Then what's the case? Man? Tell me? How? Tell me? I need to know. By the way, let

me just say this. I talk like this everyone because I want to make them tell me what's going on so I can help them if they need help. What have they done to you in eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four in seven years? What has happened? Well? For what? I try not to get Let me ask you that. No, I'm going to ask some questions because you're not being forthcoming, have you. I've been arrested again in the last seven years,

Yes, how many times? Once? Okay? For what? For? What? Next? For what? I got arrested for supposedly pointing on God? And a guy who basically was arrested and served time for the same charge, and he said that I committed. However, the guy right next to him said, I never saw a guy. Now I want to know what year was that second arrest? That would have been a year later. Okay, So then let me just get this hold on. Then in twenty eighteen,

okay, you were arrested for brandishing a gun for threatening someone? What was the charge. They call it menacing. Yes, yes, yes, okay, Now you were charged with menacing where you found guilty? Yes, I didn't have a jury, and all right, it doesn't matter. You were found guilty. Did you have a gun in your possession? Yes, and for a very good reason. I don't care, man, I'm not asking for excuses right now. I want to get to the essence. So menacing with a gun, found guilty? And now what now? Okay,

now we're in twenty eighteen, help me out here? Where do we go from there? Go ahead? Okay, I was the manager over ten units and I had these guys and eviction notice because what year was this the same same thing? Twenty eighteen? Okay? Was this after the gun thing? No, this is what happened. I don't want to hear what happened. You were already found guilty too late. Move on, tell me next thing? Now, what's going on now? Well, next thing is and this

is unfortunately what's the next thing. The next thing is the accident that I just got into about six months ago. Okay, Now, let me ask you this. So so far, Aurora police hasn't been they have a vendetta against you. You beat them in twenty seventeen, you were found guilty of menacing with a gun, which they had nothing to do with, nothing at all. They were nowhere in sight. You were arrested for that, and because somebody complained about it, and even though that person was guilty and you

feel you were not guilty, you were found guilty. And now you're in an accident six months earlier now or six months ago? That accident? Did that have anything to do with Aurora Police? Yes? Okay, what happened six months ago now? Because I see no connection so far at all, even though you're knit knees together, Dwight, you called me for help, and I'm telling you something. Some of the best help I'm giving you is I'm giving you unfiltered, unbiased opinions here on what's going on in your life.

So now, six months ago, tell me the accident. What happened six months ago? Okay, I'm going to give it to you, just cut and dry. I'm basically being framed. What happened six months ago? Tell me what happened. I'm going east, the driver of the other vehicles going west and he makes a left hand turn in front of me. There's no we had a common green light. Anyway, I t bone the guy and I go to the hospital. I call nine one one and I go

to the hospital. I thought I had broke my arm. But before I went to the hospital, I had nine one one on the line and I said, there's nobody here. It was like a ghost town, and I says, I need to check on this guy. So I went and I checked on the guy his vehicle, and now I was facing the direction I was going. Anyway, I go over and ask the guy if it's okay. He's not even trying to get out of his car. He's a young guy, probably twenty sevent eight years old, and he's inside of his car

along what color shoes did he have? Come on? Man, what happened? Yeah, that's what I want to know. So listen, So you hit another guy and what happened another car? And then what happened you were checking on him at the scene or was this at the hospital? Well this all ties in together, Tom if I put the gaps in there, yeah they're not going to connect, just with the gun thing as well. But anyway, here's what I'm trying to say. There was nobody there. When

nobody Dwight Dwight, Dwight, stop nobody where you had an accident? You were taken to the hospital. Here's the problem. You're telling me details I don't need, and the details I do need, you're not telling me when you were taken to the hospital. Is that where there was nobody there? Or was it at the accident scene? It was at the accident scene, there was nobody there, and you went to check on the man or the young man that you hit. Is that what I'm getting so far? Yes?

Then what happened? You went to check on him. See, I'm trying to keep you in track here. Now what happened you went to check on him? What happened? Okay? So I went to the hospital. Okay, So checking on the guy, you skip right past that. Now, now you go to the hospital. Okay, fine, go ahead. You're in the hospital, now go ahead. Okay, I'm at the hospital. The police show up and gives me a ticket. And a ticket is for running a red light? And was this a roar of police? Yes?

Okay? And that was going back. They said, Hey, this is the guy that beat our ass in court in twenty seventeen. Let's throw the book at him. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what tom So, Dwight, That's what happened, right They charge you with running a red light, even though they didn't think that was true. They did it just because you beat them back in twenty seventeen. Somehow, seven years later they remembered this and they said, by god, now we're going to get this

guy. Well, I think what they do they put a tag or a flag bake. Yeah, okay, sure they do, Sure they do. You have a nice stage, Dwight. It was great talking to your brother because you haven't got what's the problem right now? Just tell me in a sentence today, right now, what's the problem today? Right now? I can't find an attorney. Nobody will take this case. And why do you think that is? Why do you think that is right? When you say

you can't find an attorney? I'm calling bs on that. You want to know why, because you can call an attorney right now and get one. Are you saying you can't get an attorney free of charge to try to soothe a city with some bull crap charges of discrimination or harassment? Or are you saying you can't hire a criminal defense attorney on an hourly basis? Which one is it. Well, I guess I had the kind of money. So wait a minute, So wait a minute. You say you can't find an

attorney. You see you mean you can't find a free attorney. Is that what you're telling me? Well, that's not what I was in. I wasn't that. I can find you an attorney Joseph A. Lazara right now will talk to you and take your case. He'll talk to you free of charge. And if it's a if, well not if he'll defend you, you can. It'll be a flat rate and I can give you Joe Lazara's number. He will take the case. So I solved your problem. You

got an attorney. Well, I was just told by an attorney yesterday that, yeah, I can defend you. He says. It's going to cost you four or five thousand dollars. You know that's right. That's right, that's what it will be. That's exactly right. Maybe more, maybe less, depends on the case. But here's the point. Defending you against what? What are you trying to defend yourself against? Number one, there was

no witnesses here. Here's what I'm getting at, Dwight. Why not take the ticket for running the red light, be done with it, because it's going to cost me. Number one, I lost my truck and a really good truck. It's total. Number two. The guy has not even filed yet, you know that, haven't even filed anything to say that he got hurt or anything. But down the road, if I get if I get guilty on it, I'm sure things will come out of the river work. No, no they won't. No they won't, No, they won't.

Here's the thing. Do you have insurance? Did you have insurance? Yes? Okay, your insurance will take care of it. No they're not. I didn't have I didn't have full coverage. Well no, no, no, no, no no, I'm talking about liability. Did you have liability? I did? Well, liability takes care of that for him. That they'll take care of that guy if he comes after you. Yeah, probably

to a certain extent, well to the policy limits. But then they won't go after you personally because you don't have any money, so they will settle with your insurance company. Dwight, you're making this way more complicated, and you're trying to see some big giant conspiracy. Dwight, I'm telling you you're way off base. There's no conspiracy here. The guy probably is trying.

Maybe he is wrong. You didn't run a red light, so what That's a separate case that has nothing to do with twenty seventeen, That has nothing to do with you pulling a gun on a guy. This is a separate incident. You're not going to find an attorney because they think you don't have

a case. And you know what, quite frankly, they think you're a nut because if you start talking to him about some police conspiracy seven years ago and now you're getting popped with a red light, you're never going to win. What you need to do is let your insurance take care of the other car and move on with your life because by my calculation right now, you're about sixty eight years old, right right, all right, move on with your life. Bro, not worth it. I'm telling you from experience,

it is not worth it. Just go ahead and be guilty when I was innocent. Yep, that's right. No, you do you can do a please, you can do us some kind of a plea with this. These people you were in an accident, there were no witnesses. What I'm saying is it's going to cost you five to ten thousand dollars to defend yourself,

and after you win, you get nothing. So your life whether you whether you plea a, no contests or whatever to this or defend yourself, your life will not change one bit, not one bit, not one bit. Will your life change? If you win or lose this case. Your life does not change. Your insurance will cover that you lost your truck anyway.

So tell me tell me this day, one way or the other. If you won this case and you proved you did not run a red light, which is impossible with no witnesses, tell me what how your life changed? You tell me right now. How will your life change after spending five to ten grand and you're not guilty? How does your life change? There is one problem I thought about. How does your life change, Dwight. I'm gonna make you stay on topic. How does your life change? Well,

let me say this. I think I have a left arm. Now they cannot raise buf No, okay, how does your life change? It hurt? The arm is not going to be different. How does your life change whether you win or lose this red light case? I thought about it. Yeah, you're right, it doesn't change.

Hi Tom Martine, your troubleshooter three

O three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. I for sure thought we were gonna get a blizzard or something. But because I told you right Mark that Stephanie, I found her vacuum me and uh the kitchen one time with an electric you know those sweepers though, and I thought, Okay, a blizzard's for sure coming. I don't know, but anyway, I digress. It was just a little joke because uh Shannon asked me why I don't have, you know, coffee closer to me, I run

upstairs in between. Yeah, why not put a little curriic down there? Yeah, I guess I could. I have a bar right here down downstairs here, So you got Jack Daniels there, but you don't not no, no, I don't have it like that. I mean, it's a bar, but nothing in it. But I should, I should put it downstairs. That's a good point anyway. Three oh three, seven to one three talk. Let's go Robert real Estate. What's happening, Robert? Get your calls in, folks. Listen. You might think, holy crap, holy

after how he slicing dice that guy. I don't want to go on a rato. I'm gonna tell you something. I'm really serious now. I want to clear out all the bs. When people call me and they do have a problem, we'll fight like hell. But some people they have to see through the clutter. They have been so mired in their own bs and crap. And then here's the problem. A lot of these people don't have real friends. They'll listen to them, but they won't say to them, you

know what, Dwight, You're so far off base. They just listen and humor them. What you want is a friend who's going to say to you, get over it, man, I mean, think about living your life that way. Here's a man in his sixties and most of his sixties are gone now, and he's been thinking there's a conspiracy against him because one time he defended his stepdaughter and the guy that he punched out calls police. Okay, that's unfortunate. But when police show up, they don't see anybody.

They don't see anybody there that needed defending. They just see the two of them. They arrest him. The charges were dismissed, so he feels since that time they were out to get him. And so somehow he's arrested a year later for the guy says he pulled the gun on him. Now, this is a guy making an accusation against him that he pulled the gun and he did have a gun on him. Now, how did Aurora police orchestrate that? And then after that, seven years later, he gets in a

car accident. The guy who he hit, he t bone, said he ran around. Duy says, no, I didn't. Okay, He says, the police are out to get him, and now he can't get he can't get an attorney because he wants to fight this red light charge because his arm is sore and he lost his truck. It doesn't matter. He's not going to get his truck back. He doesn't have collision covers, and he's not going to get his arm fixed, and and and and you know there's

no witnesses, nothing, nothing, zero's it. So all of this is a conspiracy against him. Do you under Do people hear this? Or am I? Am I being harsh on people? Or do you hear this? Bs? So? Would I be a friend if I tried to tell him? You know what, I'm gonna have a deputy look into this. We're gonna help you, Robert, what's going on? Man? Hey? So, I don't know if you uh I'm assuming you give advice one way or the other. But uh so I have a small company in town, or

my son have a small company in town. He had it. Let me tell you that, Yeah we don't have well, yeah we're I'm not in business anymore because we had a large company that had an agreement with this that kind of renigged on their agreement and we didn't. We had all of our eggs in that basket because it was just me and him. Oh that's too bad. Man. Okay. Yeah, and so with this company who had

this agreement with us, they kind of renigged no matter. You know, some of the familiar managers that we've reached out to to help us out, even the one who originally made the agreement with us, we haven't really gotten anywhere with that now. Is that still Is that still going on? Rate? Is that what you're calling about? Or you're calling about something else? No, that's yeah, That's what I'm calling about. Okay. So you owned a company that did what what did your company do? So? We

Hi Tom Martinez here three or three seven one three talks seven one three eight two five fives. So Robert says he owned a or his son owned a company. They did drains for Atlas. Go ahead, now tell me the rest are what's happening. So the story is is a few years ago we were

in Saint Louis. My son decided he was coming back from coming back to Denver. We moved from Denver like in twenty eighteen, and we went to Saint Louis. And the reason we went there is because I grew up there and my mother was getting elderly and I had to get clothes to help her out. And we had a company here in town, and we did work for Atlas back in twenty eighteen, and we did quite a bit of work.

And so the people that we knew from Atlas, the managers, they were very honest and ethical people and it was a it was a pretty good gig and U so we went back, We went to Saint Louis, and then my son decides that he doesn't like the Saint Louis area. He's coming back to Denver. Well, while I'm in Saint Louis, I land a job as a manager. And keep in mind, Okay, Robert, I'm I'm sorry. Like I said, I want to give you more time, but and then I want to know what we can do to help you.

Ripped news that you don't have run anxious as a cam. Shoot's gonna help? Come Dix is the Troubleshooter Show. No, Tom Martino, Hey, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three seven

one three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five five. Let's talk and do what we see what we can do. Now. I want to go back to uh what did he hang up? He probably hung up, but to bed because I want to help the guy. Oh no, there is Atlas. Robert, Okay, so Robert continue, so listen. So so, I don't know why you told me all that story about going elsewhere and coming here and going there, because we if it all boils down to Atlas. But I'm going to let you continue where you left off.

Go ahead, sir, keep going, Thank you you you. I'm going to progo some of that. So here's the thing is, I got a I got an email from one of the managers at Atlas saying that if we would uh start our because we did work with them in the past, and I get it, we're happy with our work. And so they sent me an email saying that, hey, if if we would carry a certain type of uh what do you call it? General liability and workman's and stuff like

that. They managed six thousand properties in the Denver metro area and they will give us first door on all those properties if we go enter into business with them. So I tell my son, Well, first, when my son moved here, I reached out to all the time. Now, now, Robert, I swear to God, I know you think that all of this is necessary. But here's what I want to tell you. If it's simply that they hired you and did not pay you, we can go right to that part. Okay. So they hired us, and I actually quit a

job in Saint Louis where I thought I was going to reach. I get it, I get it. You had some detrimental reliance. So how many jobs did you do for them? And what's the accounts receivable? How much? Well? They probably the thing is is they milked us, so they would pay us a little bit at a time. If they owed us twenty five thousand dollars, we would get a check. You know, I need to know this. How much do they? Oh, you bro probably ten

right now? They probably yeah, right now, they still was somewhere around ten grand. Now, why didn't you put Leans? Well? Okay, because that costs money per house, Robert, you know, if it costs nothing per house, pennies pennies, you could do it yourself or you could have somebody do it. But in any case, do you have any of those jobs where you worked that have been We have all those jobs. I'm going to finish the question. Now, do you have any of those jobs

where you have finished the job within the last four months? We haven't done well, I don't know. Let's see. We probably stopped doing work for him in January. Okay, so now it's probably a little late for Leans. But let's see what else we can do. You got about ten grand in receivables that they have not paid. Is that right? That's correct? What reason do they give you for not paying? They don't give us a reason. They just don't pay. Okay, in January our I don't know,

maybe it was February. I reached out to the owners. To the owners, both of the owners have kind of separated themselves from the company. They don't want to you know, they don't want to run it anymore. So they're trying to make it an employee owned company. So they started what was called their own Home Services. But I hold if they Robert, I'm going to tell you something there. Eh, if Atlas went out of business, you're screwed. Yeah, but they didn't. They didn't go out of

business. Now you tell oh God, I'm not talking about your opinion if they went out of business. I'm talking about legally, if they went out of business. Let me explain this to you. You did business with Atlas Real Estate. Is that what it was called? Yes? Now was that an LLC or a corporation? What was it? I believe it was a corporation. So I've reached out to attorneys. The only thing is is, I'm not talking about attorneys now, I'm talking about so substance of the transaction.

If this company, Atlas Real Estate Incorporated, if if they dissolved, if they in any way changed, if that corporation you can take let me explain this to you. You can take the name the same exact employees, the offices and simply have a new business. And to you it looks like the same old business. But it's not. So that's the first thing we have to figure out. Can we go after Atlas real Estate because you would

win? But is Atlas real Estate still around? Yes? Okay? So what this thing about the employee owned business, So that the company or the owners were just trying to distance themselves because they were getting Okay, So what did the owners do? They created? What they did was they started a company called Atlas Home Services. Okay. And what did they do with Atlas real Estate. It's still in business, they still do you know, they're still man Okay, So then that's good, okay, okay, So now

why won't they pay you? Well, I don't know that. So is this an empty cart? This could be another thing. You say, Atlas real Estate is still around doing business. Then how do they decide when someone calls if the business goes to Atlas or does it go to Atlas Home Services? How do they decide? Well, they that's what they've tried to do is create Atlas Home Services so they don't have to hire outside contractors. Okay, And so I think almost all of the calls go to Atlas Home Services.

But what they will do is if there is an outside contractor involved, they will ask for their bid and then the Atlas Home Services will just typically underbid it unless it's so cheap. Yeah, well, that's pretty normal to have subsidiaries that do that. There's nothing wrong with that. So as long as Atlas real Estate somewhat unethical, No, it isn't. If Atlas knows, no, it isn't. What's Home Services knows what you bid and then they get the opportunity to underbid it. No, no, it's not.

No contractor gets the opportunity to underbid Atlas Home Services. That's okay, that's their business. They can do it the way they want. It's not a public company, bro, they can do what they want. Let me explain this to you and Robert. The reason I'm emphasizing this is so you don't go off on a battle you're not gonna win. You don't have any power there. I can start a company called ABC real Estate. I can have

a subsidiary called one two three real Estate. I can put my stuff out to bid all day long and give all those bids to my other company one two three. I can ask one two three to underbid them and they do, and if they don't, then they don't get the job. But here's the deal. There is nothing wrong with it. Now, if people like you find out about it and say that that's not fair, then don't bid. There's nothing in the law that says I can't put crap out to bide.

I mean, you know, it doesn't sound like fair, but who cares. The way the argument is, the argument is is the agreement they made with us, and they don't uphold that agreement. That's the whole issue. Here is one thing and one thing only. They owe you money. Well, there's that, and then the agreement they made with us and how they drug us out for a year paying us Okay, which cause, what agreement did they make with you? What agreement did they make with you?

They agreed that if we join into business with them and be their contractor, that we would get first door on all of their calls. Okay. Now, by the way, that is that is a binding agreement. Do you have the contract? Yes, I do, and it's signed and it says that Robertson's company ABC whatever it is, gets first crack or exclusive rights to

all of our jobs. Yes, pretty much. Okay, if you get me that agreement, which, by the way, I've said this, Oh, I would say one hundred times in the last month for people that said they had agreements, and I've not gotten one that said what they thought it did? You send me that agreement, Robert, and I promise you I will kick their asses if they have an agreement saying you have an exclusive and they're not giving them to you. Okay, send me the agreement, Katschina.

There's no reason talking. He's got an exclusive agreement that they get everything. Let me ask another question though, here, Robert, this is important. As an exclusive can you charge anything you want? What if you wanted to charge one hundred grand, would you still have the exclusive or what? How does that work? Does this say in the contract? No, I'm it doesn't say in the contract. Well hold on then wait wait wait it

says you get the exclusive job. But they didn't protect themselves with a price. No, they did not. How does it How is it worded? I think they assumed that because we had history in the past. Word okay, Robert. So they say basically, no matter what you charge, no matter how much you charge, you get exclusive rights to the job. Yeah, they don't say that, but they you know, that's what the agreement

says that we get. Are you sure it doesn't say this that you get the first crack at the job, but you can always be under bid. No, it doesn't say that. Okay, I want to see the agreement, Robert. I'm gonna Robert, I want to see the agreement. Hold on, get the agreement before the end of the show. We need to see this agreement. It would be the dumbest agreement ever made in the history of contracts if a company gave exclusive rights to a company to do the work

exclusively with no limit on pricing. So you're in the driver's seat, Robert, I'm gonna help you kick their ass. I'm Tom Martino Moore coming up.

Hi Tom Martino here three oh three seven one three one three at eight five five. All right, so let's talk to Bill. He has a question about his standard warranty and keep your calls coming. We also have trolley roofing here, got a few

topics here. And then we also have a question that I find very important on that new requirement of employers to put in a retirement plan? Do you really know? Do you really know what's up with that? Hey? Bill? What's happening? Man? Hey? Hey? First, first, you want a pizza? Suggestion? A pizza? Yeah? Yeah, Anthony's I love Anthony's. No, I'll tell you what. You know? How Dominos have been advertising in New York style pizza. Yeah, it's not. We've

got two of them so far. It's pretty good. Oh really, Dominoes. I'm telling you. I never would have thought i'd say, Well, Bill, I'm I'm guessing your last name doesn't have a vowel ending. Yes it does. And I was born in Brooklyn, not of state, New York. Hey, you're telling me that Domino's has a New York style pizza, trust me. And if you were born in Brooklyn, you wouldn't have said pizza. You would have said I can't believe I'm saying it mine. Yeah, yes, but I've lived here, specift, doc, Doc,

you don't have any Italian in you. My dad was Italian, my grandfather from Sicily. I didn't know that. You didn't ask. I'm a perfect New Yorker. You're not handsome enough to be Italian, but any my mom's Jewish. My dad was Italian, perfect New Yorker, good man. So now, Bill, Okay, what's your question? Okay, I'm getting towards the end of my lease as a matter of fact, like tomorrow is okay? So your lease on a car or on a on a home? On a car, I'm like, okay, you're getting to the end of your

lease. How many miles on it? By the way, are you over or under? Fifteen hundreds? Well what does that mean? Are you over or under? I got fifteen hundred miles on it? Oh my god? And how long have you had it? Three years? It's a twenty one man. You're a you know what you are? A perfect lease candidate. And I want to tell people, if you know you're not going to put a lot of miles on it, you should get the lowest mileage you can get and get the lowest payment out there. So go ahead, what is

your question? I'm going to buy it because, like I said, it's the thing is like brand new, and I'm just you know, yeah, but you're screwing yourself. I'm just saying this. And the reason I'm saying it, you can buy it, but why because the way you drive, you're a lease candidate, and it's cheaper. If you buy it, you are now spending a lot of money on the car because you kept it so well, you're actually getting a higher receis. It's a long story, man,

anyway, go ahead. What did you want to Yeah, well, yeah, I know, a good lease. Let me explain this to you. A good lease is a terrible one to buy. Go ahead. It's just I'm like, I'm your age. I mean, I don't need another call bill. Don't you ever say that again about my age? But go ahead? Yes, who we are anyway, but so don't we don't talk about age anymore. That's a restriction now, But go ahead, But so I called up the sales I made an appointment for tomorrow, and he wants

to know if I want an extended warranty. I don't. I don't know. You don't. No, you don't. That's what I think, Bill, Bill, let me explain something. Are you paying cash for your car tomorrow? Yeah? I'm going to write a check. Yep. What's the residual value? It's about twenty three I think. And what kind of car? Is there? A truck? It's a twenty twenty one Colorado? Yeah, not bad. That's a good deal. You know what, here's what you're doing. You're buying a used car from yourself. So it's not such

a bad idea. And it's not such a bad idea. And because you're so damn old, maybe that's what you want to do, because otherwise you'd want to keep leasing. But well, no, I've been leasing for probably twenty five years. Yeah, you're an excellent candidate for excellent Hey, by the way, have you ever thought of an EV? I'm just not sold on them, I am. I don't have one, but man, do I want one? Would you drive the flord In one? Hey? Mark? Yeah? Answer that? Would you drive your Teslat the floor. I

mean if you were going to drive anyway, is what I'm saying. Would you take a long, long trip? Would you feel confident? Yep? Yeah? Really? How much longer would it take charge in the battery? Mark, talk about it, Man, It doesn't take that much longer. Man, I mean, I don't know how else to put it. They map it out. If you follow the map, it's not bad at all. You might charge five, five to seven minutes at a time. I thought you had to do a full charge takes a couple hours. What you

get for thinking? So Mark, explain the explain the short charging for me. What do you mean? It's called super charging. So when you put in a destination that's I don't care, two thousand miles away, it'll map out when you stop and show yards. It'll start prepping the battery about a half hour before for supercharging. Then you'll stop and generally you will charge between five and seven minutes, and then you're on your way for another two three

hundred miles until you stop for another five or seven minutes. Oh, I didn't know that, See the reason I'm asking Marcus. That's on my long range. I don't know, like what a model I don't know, like what Vonnie's is. I have no idea how his works. I know how mine works. Okay, Well his would have similar but probably different stops, right, it would all be a tailored to the car, right. Yeah, I'm just saying I don't know what his distance is on a full charge.

Okay, Okay, I've driven back and forth to New York. God knows how many times. You're not gonna do that anymore. Not being so old and decrepit, You're not going to do that anymore. We used to drive thirty six hours straight. Yeah, but you're not gonna do that anymore. I know. That's why I'm saying, get an ev For goodness sakes, Hey, Shannon, I did take the fifteen break? Please tell me I did? Yes, Okay, see, I'm getting so old. I forgot now, Bill, Bill listens, no extended warranty on that. Okay.

That's that's just it, bro, that's just thank you for calling. Three zero three seven one three talk seven one three two five five Dane, what's going on there? Going? I'm doing? Good man?

Yeah, Hey, tell Martino here three oh three seven one three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five

five. I can't believe what Dane's telling me. Now listen to this. Dane says, last Thanksgiving, his Derrimax truck that he loves was stolen. He thought, hey, it's gone went to Mexico. I assume you got paid for it from insurance right, Dane. Yeah, I got an insurance quan, but I love that truck. Well, I know, but did you how much should they pay you? Was it worth it? They paid me twenty six K I got a Toyota four Runner. Now okay, so

hold on, So now you go. Now you're showing up to do an eviction and you see this parked next to you in the parking lot and you're positive. How are you positive it's yours? I've owned this truck out right since two thousand and nine. There's so much right, So what happened? Tell me what you did? You called the police? I hope yes, get this bro. First of all, I walked the truck to make sure it's mine. I'm like, holy crap. My lawyer's standing next to me.

He's a personal friend of mine. He's like, yeah, that's your truck. And there's so many different aftermarket pieces on this truck. I know it's mine. The dents match up forensically exactly what this truck is. I walk up to the window. There's some guy and there's smoking heroin in the fricking parking lot of the judicial system, you know, smoking something off of foil. I'm like, holy crap. This guy's in my car currently,

and it just so happens. There's two Adams County Courthouse officers walking in the parking lot. I flagged them over. They look in the window, they see this guy that call. I'm like, this is my truck. This is my stolen truck. This is a hundred. I showed him pictures on my phone of that exact truck and and how the tail lights are custom and the headlights well, anyway it would be on it, it would be on a hot list YEP. So it's still registered in District six, is stolen.

So the cops arrest him. They put him in handcuffs. Uh. They called the Brighton Police department because this guy lives in Brighton and supposed it had his wife's tags on it of a super ruse, so it didn't even match up tag. So it's obviously a stolen truck the Brighton police. So I go into court. I'm like, okay, this is a slam dunk. I just handed you this criminal on a fricking silver platter. Please arrest

this man. I'm going to buy this. I called my insurance company and to be like, sure, we'll sell you back your truck and I can sell my foreigner. I just really love that truck. I want to back because I have a big boat that I pull on this one team that can pull my boat. So either way, this guy's in it doing drugs in a in a state parking lot. The cops arrest him, but then the Brighton Police Department comes and lets him go. Why that's when I'm walking.

Uh So they checked the vin in the way when you said they came, hold on, bro, when you said they came, they came to Douglas County. No, this is Adams County. It's right next to Brighton. I'm sorry, I meant I meant, I'm sorry. So they showed up at the courthouse and they let him go. Yeah, so they let him go because the vin in the window matched his a truck that he had before. So he took the vin off of his old truck and put it there. And I'm like, I can't believe you guys just let this guy go.

Wait, hold on, did they did they let him go and tear up the appearance or did they let him go pending a court appearance? Neither, they just let him go. They just completely let him go. So in other words. In other words, they dropped the charges yep. So essentially it was obviously my stolen vehicle. They thought that this guy was legit and it was registered to him, even though the plates didn't match up. I don't know how big of a blunder between Adam. Wait wait a minute,

Then what happened? So I see this truck leaving the parking lot, and I didn't have time to look for the cops and say why'd you let him go? So I just followed this guy and he's blowing red lights, going crazy. And then I'm on the phone with the police saying why did you guys let these guys go? And they're like, you need to stop chasing him. It's against the law. I'm nice student, you guys just let my truck stolen truck get away. So I stopped chasing him, and

then I go back there and I'm like, I call the police. I'm like, what the heck is going on here? How could you guys possibly let this guy go? First of all, he's high on drugs. Second of all, the plates don't match up. Third of all, that is one hundred percent of my truck. I've showed you the forensics of it. It's still registered as stolen in District sixth in Denver. So they just did not do their due diligence and they just let this guy go. And now

the cops are they're completely reeling because I called the chief of police. They're not the cheap but the up roll up there in Brighton. I told him the whole story and he's laid into his His name is Corpole Maleski. Officer Cannon. Accuse me, he said, if you have to come up to if you come up to the Brighton Courthouse, we're going to rescue for reckless driving. So wait a minute, Officer Cannon is the one that let him go. Yeah, what a moron. What's his first name? Oh?

I got his badge number. I don't have his name, but he was so rude to me. He was like, wait, officer, that's because Officer Cannon didn't want to take away from eating donuts to write up a report. So so you're telling me that Officer Canon, Brighton police let this guy go. Yep, Well hold on, they have his address, they can go get him. Yep. They even gave me his address, which is crazy. I'm going to go get him if I have to no, no, no, don't do anything stupid. But listen, one good question is

it is it Danes after he accepts a check. Isn't it the insurance company's car and not his? Well? Yes, yeah, so yes, And I already called my insurance company and I was like, listen, can I have the opportunity to buy it back from me once it's ree to that? Now? Did you call the district's attorney's office? Not yet. I'm actually

out here in Kansas right now visiting my mom. She said, let me explain something to you, Dane. You're in what Ken's deputy doc is right, Your insurance company is going to have to be the one that insists that the police go get this. Okay. I mean I've already talked to them and I'm working on that. But the fact that here's the rest of the story. So they staked out this guy's house and they found an old Silverado in the back. Wait wait, wait, so they did go Brighton.

Police did go to his house, yes, and and but they didn't do their due diligence. There's another truck in the back that he pulled the VIN number off of one of his old trucks and threw it on my truck. But there's vins. There's multiple vins on a truck. You can check the frame. Wait wait, wait, so they sent hops to his house. Did they get your truck? No, they did it. They completely let

them go. And they're telling you that that's not my truck. But I'm one hundred percent sure it is. I've had it verified through so many different things. Well, hold on, so did he remove all of the vins? Do you think? Nope, he just did the one in the window. He didn't do the one on the frame or the inside of the door. I'm shure. How do you know? Don't? I don't know. But if these cops actually did their job and actually looked at that, So

you're telling me that Brighton Police refuses to investigate. They don't have a detective. They have more than reasonable cause to look at this truck, and they're not going to do it. I think they know they've screwed up. Now since I've been on the phone with you, they've called me twice. I can tell that Cope Wright and police you are morons, and especially officer Cannon. Who the hell's the chief up there? Barnet, what's his name? Barney Fife, What the hell is going on here? And I'll think,

I'll think I'm gonna let him go. I ran out of all it in my pocket. I mean, come on, I cannot Yeah, I cannot believe this. It's completely thrown me back. Like the videos in my truck. I got videos of me. Oh, what morons are they? I mean, come on, we're wondering why crime is skyrocketing because you have moron police officers. It's just it's just ridiculous that they're they're victims. They're making me. Oh yeah, they're making you the bad guy, Officer Cannon.

Yeah, he wants to make you the bad guy. Oh my god, I can't believe it. I've been on the Yeah, since I've been on the phone with you, they called me twice. But it's just like I know that there's I know that you know this is okay. That's me playing this song. I'm looking for the Mayberry RFD theme song because I swear to God, I can't take it. I can't take it. Wow, I'm gonna get to the bottom of this. I want to get to them. I don't do not let this go. I want to scream from the hills.

About Brighton morons. Brighton morons. That truck was stolen from my driveway ten thirty in the morning. The audacity for these criminals to do this, because they just get a flap on the wrist and then they're gone the next day. That's why Colado is the number one stolen. Oh God, and this idiot let them go. You know what police investigate? Do you remember when they investigated crime. That's why I called you, because you actually investigate.

go to his house and they still don't do anything. They have more than reasonable cause you know what what they're doing is, they're saying to him and all his friends, not only can you steal, but you can smoke heroin as well. We don't give a damn because We're Brighton where crime runs free. That's Brighton, My god, you know, call the district attorney. I would do not let this go. Hold on, I'm gonna come right back.

Hi Tom Martino, your trouble shooter. You know, people, I know it's hard to believe.

We often wonder why crime is outrageous in this state. And Brighton Police Department just put a cherry on that cupcake? Oh yeah, baby? You know what? Isn't that weird sounding? Was that weird? What the hell? Why can't I find a clean version of this freaking song? Anyway, here's the bottom line, and I'm I'm going to work for Brighton Police Department because I don't want to fight crime. Dane, did you call him back by any chance? This is a guy who saw his stolen truck in Adams

County, Brighton. Please let the guy go. This is his stolen truck. He has photos of reported stolen, still on the hot list, and he's smoking dope in the front seat. Brighton police shows up and they look at the VIN number in the windshield and go whoop. It looks to me, Lock it's the right VIN number. It was written on an index card with Scotch tape. No, I'm just kidding, but you know, listen, what kind of a moron cop would look at your photos, look at

the hot list, look at this truck? What moron would do that and then think, well, maybe he switched out that one little tag in the windshield that automatically, automatically just matches, but the plates don't match. Now, Dan, how many things were wrong with that truck that would have given him reasonable calls to at least look at the doorjam, I mean, like the certain events I showed him those I showed him the custom Ellie, the

headlines weren't upgrade. You showed him your photos and and it was on the hot list, and they simply let him go. Yep, they let him go. And he was high on heroin and I had actually chased him, and they told they threatened me with going to of course they did, of course they did, because Brighton Police and many other police, not all of them Brighton Police. They are in the book under Morons and why people should not be in police work. So tell me did you talk to the chief

of Did you talk to the chief up at Brighton? Do they have a chief and by the way, does he have any teeth? I spoke, Well, corporal's not cheaf. No, I need I need to take this all the way up the ladder. That's why I wanted to take it to you first. Yeah, well you hold on because I'm not done with him. Well, we're Brdon Police where crime runs free. We don't care. Come on to Breton with your stolen the vehicles. That's all we care about

Grossman Wellness dot Com welcome if you're just tuning in. I'm just shocked at Brighton Police Department.

Dane had a truck stolen Aduromax. He loved this truck so much. You knew where every ding in dent was, every piece of custom equipment he had photographed, and it was on a stolen truck list. He knew it has pictures he sees it parked next to him. When he goes to the Adams County Courthouse, the guys inside smoking dope on a foil. He calls police. The police in the parking lot want to they're not part of Brighton, right, They weren't, uh Dane, who were the first police that

wanted to arrest him. The first police that were on the scene were Adams County, the guys that actually worked in the judicial center, the Sheriff's apartment, the sheriff's department. Okay, so meanwhile, Brighton put they call Brighton police who come, and Brighton Police they go like, well, we ain't gonna we ain't gonna arrest anyone. He didn't do nothing wrong. He's just smoking dope. What's wrong by it? And and and he changed out the

then so so he's not arrested. Yep, even yeh even h Adams County Sheriff was like, I can't believe they let him go. That's crazy. Like the Adams County Sheriff were flabbergasted with their incompetence and indifference to the whole issue. And honest to god, I am so pissed, I can't even see straight. So so they let the guy, go, now you complain. So then they went back out to his house. Yep. And then and then the corporal calls me later on that evening. He's like, Yep,

we're closing this case. There's not enough evidence. I'm like, oh my god, I gave you everything. I handed this to you on a silver pole. There's something called reasonable cause where they can impound something and they can look at stuff and you know, to forget the fact he had dope on him. I mean, these people are see. This is why crime We wonder why why is Colorado the third the third worst state in the nation for crime? Why is there why yep in number in number one in process?

Now? Why is that? Because you got morons like Officer Cannon and you have the the police department in Brighton. Why the hell did, honest to god, what do they have to do to enforce a crime? You know, I don't know. I mean you pretty much the citizens have got to bring us in their own hands and just give it to them. Well, I don't want citizens taking the law in to their own hands. What I like him to do, but what I'd like him to do is get

rid of the Brighton. But you want to talk about defunding police. Defund them, you wouldn't even notice them gone. That's the thing. Defund Brighton police. I'm all for it. Defund them. Give it to the sheriff's department. Now does the sheriff's department have authority to arrest them? They put them in handcuffs, and no, I'm saying, now, I know Brighton let them go, but can can Can the sheriff's department go out and get them? Do they have the authority to do it? You know what,

I'm going to call them and let them or the District Attorney's office. Yep. I'm going to call the District of Turney's office as well. But the thing is is like even the Adams County sheriffs were like, I can't believe Brighton just let them go, And then I can't believe I followed this guy. Well, I understand they said that I shouldn't chase him because he's reckless, but I mean, like, yeah, you should be in red lights, now you shouldn't. Yeah. I don't want you. I don't want

you getting hurt. I don't want to get stupid here. But man, John says, let's listen to this story. John, what is your story? Oh Tom, I live out west of Brighton in Well County, and I travel one hundred and sixty eight a lot, and I always I've been here twenty seven years. When I turn left off of one hundred and sixty eight, I always check my mirror. My friend has been hit twice in his driver's door turning left by people's feating, and I've had one near miss.

So I'm heading. I'm heading east. I checked my mirror. There's a car about three hundred yards back. So I'm my turn sick. While I go to turn, look in my mirror and the car's coming around me. I swerve back, straightened out. The car comes around behind me, gets on the inside, passes me. I pull up. The guy gets out of the car, foaming at the mouth. He's beating on the window

on this on the passenger window and beating on the door. So I head into Brighton and I'm about six miles out pull State Patrol they transferre you to Well County. I'm talking to Well County Sheriff. They ask me where I'm at and I tell him I'm just crossing Highway eighty five, and they say, okay, we're going to transfer it to Brighton dispatch. If I get transferred to Brighton dispatch, the car still follows me. I keep going east

one hundred and sixty eight and there's no stop sign. So when I get up to a main street that I can turn on, I turn right and the car turns right and follows me. I'm still on the phone to Swift bright and Dispatch telling the lady said, Nissan Xterra. It has a big Extera across the front rift rack above the windshield, and it has a Burt Kicker on the license And where are we going? What's happening? Then? What happened? Well? I drive around Brighton twice. Every time I get

to a stoplight, I slow down. If I get stopped there and this guy is still following you still following me, And I'm hey, people, listen. Let me just put a programming note doubt. If you want to break the law, Brighton is the place to do it, because Brighton police do not enforce the law. So did they ever come out and investigate or anything with a guy following you? No, this is probably twenty minutes at least two lapped around. Well, they were still listen. That's hold on

now, I understand. Hold on, man, I understand. Do you know how long it takes to eat two egg clayers? It's come on and give him a break. Then. What happened then? So I tell her I'm heading for the police department. She says, good idea. I said, is anybody there? And she says no, but we'll have somebody there. And I said, okay, lets yeah, yeah, they're going to have some Officer Potzi. And what happened probably Officer Cannon was there sitting on

his ass. What happened then? Well? I told her I am licensed to carry, I am carrying. This guy approached my vehicle in a very threatening manner. You probably, okay, get to get to the punchline. Did they ever do anything? I pulled in, I was a block away. I turned left on the Brownley Lane. The car figured out what I was doing, turned right, headed west on Bromley Lane. Two police off police cars drove right past him. Five of them showed up and searched me.

Searched you searched you? Yes? You because I told him I was carrying a gun. Yeah. Well, okay, but you know what, nothing prizes me anymore about Colorado or about bright especially Brighton my god. You know, there's some pretty bad police departments in this state. You know, you know, Greeley's a joke, Weld County's a joke, Okay, Brighton and Edgewall, si Englewood. I mean, you know, it's really really a shame. I'll tell you what. But but Brighton, Brighton has the

I'm Tom Martinez. Let's socks to Sean Sean. What's going on with you? Hello Sean A twenty ten f three point fifty. Back in September and then I picked up Carshield insurance in October. Yeah that's a

bad deal. Car shield sucks. But anyway, what happened, Yeah, they do is a big mistake. And then my my motor blue in March, and they're not going to cover it. They didn't. Yeah, they denied the claim. Is there anything I can do about that? Well, let's ask you, man, let's ask you what. Why did they deny it? They say that the part that failed they don't cover age it would fail the part that they do cover. Yeah, no, no. By the way, every warranty says that if an uncovered part causes the failure of

a covered part, the covered part is not covered. And I will tell you ninety percent of all failures start with uncovered parts. So tell me about tell me about the part that failed? What was it? So there? What happened with cylinder pits? And two failed? And they're sailing saying that the coolant system somehow for that part caused the failure the coolie. Now, how okay? How are they saying that happened? I have no idea. So they had their own mechanic come out to look at it, and he

can if you talk to my people. If you talk to my mechanics, they will tell you that car shield hardly ever pays. Ever. Yeah, it's terrible. I brought it to your referrow. I brought it to Colereado Engines. They did a fabulous job and they said that the piston failed due to fatigue. It had nothing to do with that coolant. Oh really, hold on? Hold on? Do you have a written report from them? Yeah? Okay, Now did you contact them since you got that report?

I did. I filed with the Better Business Bureau and then I sent them Acrod the Better Business Bureau. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You filed with a Better Business brauw. I love when people say that, what exactly does that mean? You filed with the Better Business Brow. They don't even have a place to file. All you do is complain to them, right, correct. I filed the complaint. They reached out to Carshield, and Carshield just came back with the same answer. And so what the

Better Business Bureau was said was they were satisfied. Right. Yeah, Well I told them I rejected the what they're proposing, and the Better Business Bureau said, we're closing it. So it's just not resolved. Okay, here, here's the Better Business Bureau. Nowadays they're dinosaurs. That's that listen, hold on, that's the office. I have a hitting mic in there.

Yeah, yeah, that's that's what you. Uh. You know. It's really funny that today's you know, millennials or gen z ors or whatever, that they even know about the Better Business Suau because they're so sleepy and old and dinosaurs. They take no action. Look what they do, they're the best they do. The best is a depository of complaints. But even then they are satisfied if there's a response. It doesn't even have to be a good response, just a response. The next thing they do is nothing.

Nothing. They accredit you, and it means nothing that we have a guy sitting in prison with an A plus rating as an accountant. He's sitting in prison for cheating people and they gave him an A plus rating. They can't get around that. They are dinosaurs. But anyway, I digress. I want to get to you. I want to get to you now. I want to get to you about helping you. If you have how much these repairs cost you seventeen thousand? Oh my god. And Carshield says that even

though that you have a report, they do not believe it. Is that what they're saying, They say, they stick by their original claims. But what cause did you have a cooling problem back then? Not that I knew of. I don't know. The engine just lost power and it stopped running, and they said cylinder two failed. So it was of the diesel daydreams and all right, we went back into forest for a month. But the people that the people that Colorado engine, they said, yes, absolutely,

he did not fail. Is that right? Yeah's m what do you think because of the cool They said no, they said, we think it's uh, it was piston fatigue. I said, would you put that in writing? They said absolutely so they yeah. But what caused the piston fatigue to fail? Though? That's what I want to know. I am not exactly sure this truck, that engine in particular, and this year it was problematic that that would fail. And they said maybe it was the rings or something.

All right, I think we should call I think, hey, you know what, Kitschina sues tells me that Deputy gear Head is back. Did you hear about that, Kachina, I have not been told anything, Deputy Gearhead. It's one of our deputies that knows a lot about car issues. I'd like to check with sus to see if we can get him on this. Would you do that for me? Yes, I want to. I want to see if he's if we can do that, and we got more to talk about coming up. Three oh three seven one three talk Frank Drand

Tom Martineau, Hey, who

is playing that music? Send that to me, man, send me the link. I can't find a clean version of that song anywhere. It's in our system, so I can play it on Oh, I see it's in your system. Okay. He was playing the uh Andy Griffith theme in honor of Brighton Police Department. Yeah, you see, this truck is stolen on a stone list. This guy's got photos of it. He's got every little dent and ding mapped out. The police show up and let them go,

especially the officer Canon. Let them go. They said, well the vin in the and the windshaled matches, even though the plates don't match anything. And the door jam they didn't even bother to look at. They didn't even

bother to investigate. That's the point, because deputy or our officer Canon didn't want to be disturbed from Uskrala. So what they call him craulass those krellas or maybe an Ed Claire who knows and and you know, so he managed through the uh the sugar the powdered sugar on his on his uniform to get the badge number two Deputy Cannon. So Brighton please stands by their there's the stands. We are proud in Brighton to contribute to the crime of Colorado.

We're proud that we're the number one car theft capital of the country in Colorado. And we're not going to do anything to help it. We're just satisfied collecting our paycheck and doing nothing. In fact, I'd like to know any crimes that Brighton has solved recently. You know, I get these hidden microphones in these places. You heard the one I had in the the one I had hidden in the Better Business Bureau right there. Now here's the one I

have hidden up at Brighton. Yeah, and in the Chief's office. So if you if you live in Brighton, you have nothing to worry about. There is no crime. Because they say there is no crime. I see nothing, I hear nothing. You have a comment, Julia, what's your comment? Something similar happened to my family member. Their truck got stolen and the Westminster they espoused the truck in the parking lot. My family member they

called Westminster police. They came out and they did the same thing. They went off the bin at the on the dashboard and let the guy go, even though it was my family member's truck. Well, two weeks later, me and my grandson were driving around. We've seen the truck in our neighborhood, and we followed it and found out where this guy lived, and so I called my family member. He went up there and he blocked the truck

in. He did have his gun. He shouldn't have did that, but he called Adams County Sheriffs and they came out and they went through the truck and found that there weren't bins all over it. It was his truck, and he got his truck back. Bravo for Adams County Sheriffs. In fact, in fact, Adams County Sheriff wanted to arrest this guy, but Brighton police came to the rescue of the criminal. Right, Julia, thank you. You know what We're hearing more and more. I'm getting more and more

or text about Brighton being a joke, and it is a joke. The police department is a joke. The entire department is a joke because they do not believe in enforcing crime. It's that easy so if you want to, I want to give a few instances. Now, if you want to steal a truck or a vehicle, Brighton is probably the best place because they will not arrest you. They will not. All you have to do is if you change that ven number out in the windshield, just just put another little

plateator. In fact, I think you can get a label maker and do it. I think you get a label maker or a magic marker, and then Briton Police just show up and say, you know what, Tom, we don't think we got some crime here. Now. God forbid if you steal one of their crullers. But you can steal vehicles all day long. I have never heard of more morons in my life. And you know what, I would love they don't have the balls. I would love to hear

from somebody at Brighton. I'd love to hear the PIO public information officer. I think they have one, maybe maybe not. I would like to hear what they have to say, because no matter what, there is absolutely nothing they can say to justify There's nothing, nothing at all, nothing at all. So let me hear. I think the public information officer is calling in hold on, Oh yes, and what about like letting the guy go after smoking dope in the cab. He's got heroin on him and obviously a stolen

vehicle. Oh okay. And then you followed up at the house and saw the same exact thing and decided not to take action, right, thank you? Okay, Well, at least they were they had the balls to come on the show, right, all right? Three h three seven one three talk Tina? What's going on with landscaping? Did you call the other day? No, this is my first time. Okay, Tina, what's happening with you? Two weeks ago, they were mowing my yard. Who was

mowing it? There's people who've been doing it for the last two years. Okay, it's a landscape company, gotcha. They were timing right by. I was sitting in the living room and I have a big picture window, and I like a gunshot And then I looked and my window you shattered? And so did it fling up a rock? Well, he must have picked up a rock out of my yards and it just catapults in my window. Anyway, I showed them, I pointed it out, and he said, well, I will let the boss know, and I said, okay,

So anyway, I talked to Carlos once. I'm Tina, I might want to interrupt you, and you may be very upset with me. But if they were simply mowing the lawn and did and did nothing negligent, they're not going to be responsible. Okay, that's that's what That's why I'm calling. I wanted to know now if hold on, now, if they saw several rocks or even that rock, and they thought to themselves, I better turn, you know, and they they thought, you know what, that could

kick up. That's dangerous, and they said, the hell with it. I'm going to run over it. I don't care, you see. But normally kicking up a rock now and then is not unusual, and it really is not. I don't think, in my personal opinion, I don't think you can hold them responsible well, and that's why I'm calling. But then at the same time is wait, why doesn't he want to talk to me? I mean, I've been very nice about it. I said, you know, let's at least look at it, let's talk about it, and

he doesn't. And to me, that's kind of like, well, why don't you just hire another company? But I don't know of any company that would if they're just mowing the lawn. If that's all they're doing is mowing your lawn, and there happens to be a rock and it happens to kick up and break the window, that they're responsible for that. Now to see, just because something happens doesn't mean it is negligent. It could be, but I don't know. In this case. Here's the deal. I want

to ask you, how much is it going to cost to fix? The first estimate I got was three thousand dollars? Wait? Wait, wait, how much did you say three thousand dollars? Wait a minute? What kind of freaking window is this? It's double pain, big picture window. Now do you have homeowner's insurance? What you're deductible? Two thousands? Oh? Well, homeowners would cover it. Yeah, that's what I'm That's the reason I called, just to get some of you. But you know, you

have to decide if you want to put the claim in. But no, I'm serious, Tina. You can take them to small claims court. But here's what's going to happen. In my opinion, maybe the hard pointing people. I just wanted to talk to them and say, you know, Ken, we just kind of figure out. But but Tina, they don't want to pay because they're thinking we did nothing wrong. All we're doing is mowing your freaking lawn. They could blame you for having a rock in your lawn.

Now, now, if they did say that to you, it's your fault for having a rock. What would you say, Well, there are rocks. I mean I pick them up all the time. Okay, so that's what you would say. Therefore they didn't do it right. And listen, Tina, I'm saying this. If you want to try something, try small claim squirt. I personally think you will lose, but you ought to try it. I want to hurt. I mean the hardworking people. I just wanted to know much to best. We're all hard working people. The

point is you're right. I agree with you, Tina. They should have at least talked to you. I totally agree with you. You might want to call another another company.

Hi Tom Martino here three all three

seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five. Mike's got to comment on Brighton police who fails to enforce the law and let a dope smoking, heroin laden driver pull off with a stolen truck without any repercussions whatsoever. Just let them go, they say to Adams County sheriff, who wanted to arrest him. Let them go, go ahead. Mike, what's your comment? Yeah, I know you've had problems before with the Pueblo police. Oh, no, Pueblo, they're jokes too. Yeah. I gotta put them

right in the same clown car. Yeah. But who's worth them or they not? So bright Off police? I don't know actually now in Pueblo that one time we had two girls in an apartment. The guy. They have a recording the guys outside the door pounding on the door saying he's going to kill them, and he's going to do this, and do that, and do that. They have a recording of it. There. They go on the phone, they go on with the police, and Pueblo doesn't respond.

Now that's just one Pueblo police. They're just as bad. Maybe, you know, what is it with these what is it with these police? You know, you have people complaining sometimes that police, you know, are too heavy handed, But then you got police like Brighton, and you have police like Pueblo who do nothing nothing. I'll bet you Brighton cannot give us a list of any crimes whatsoever they've investigated it. No, I can tell you, Tom, they're civil servants. Well what do they do? They drive

around in cars and eat donuts? What do they do? And you know that stereotype doesn't work for all police departments, but I'll bet you it works for them. What else do they do? And they probably eat taco bell too. I mean, I'm not going to discriminate and say that's only eat donuts. And they're probably fat and overweight, and they're probably inactive. I can see them right now. They're up there right now doing nothing, and they're pissed off at me because I found them out, but there is no

excuse. I don't listen. I promise you, with all joking aside, if they have a PIO or anyone who wants to address this on the air, I will not treat them with disrespect. They can talk. They can tell us why they let this guy go, because you see reasonable cause would tell you that have nine out of ten indications are this truck is stolen. They have the right to look at that door jam. They have the right to proceed, but they didn't. In fact, I wouldn't mind getting Joe

Lazara on. Uh. He's a criminal defense attorney. He'll tell you what they have a right to do. He knows he fights police all the time. He never has to fight Brighton. I mean Brighton would actually come in, probably on the defense side. But here's the deal, because Brighton, as far as I'm concerned, are four criminals not against him. They were against the guy that wanted something done. They told him, now, you better drop this buddy. You better leave this heroin smoking car thief alone.

I'm slipping, Go ahead, sir. You know you're slipping because you didn't check out that story about a truck of being stolen. How do you which one? Which one are you talking about? Oh? The one that the Doramax that was stolen and that he saw it at the courthouse. Yeah. The guy said for those listening that he partnered to his old stolen truck that was stolen last year on Thanksgiving or around Thanksgiving. He said that he saw

it, matched the dents and matched his custom equipment everything. He got photos of it and it's still on the hot list. And he says that he's convinced this his The guy was smoking dope in the cockpit that the Sheriff's department detained him, but then Brighton police let him go because they said that the VIN number in the windshield, you know, that little metal thing matched whatever registration he had. Anyway, So go ahead, What did you want to

say about it? What did you verify a story? You just you took a voot line and sinker baby. That's right, that's right. And you want to know something, I'll bet Listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna do this right now after forty five years of doing this. You're absolutely right. Should I verify stories? I probably should? But now and then I get someone and I just know, I don't know, I get a feeling for it. I've not been wrong too many times, but I've been you'okurd a few

times, I actually have. And you're right, Jr. I did not verify his story. You're absolutely right. But I'll tell you this. I will bet you publicly right now, one thousand dollars that it's a true story. I have other issue here. I understand, Okay, no, no, no, I'm just saying that's that's how I just have a gut feeling. But but you, you are technically correct. I did not verify it. Oh you're pretty sure. I have another issue about one of your commercials.

Yeah, go ahead, sir, Okay, you do a commercial for Compooner the attorney good attorney. You say you only pay a small fee if he wins, or if I say a percentage fee. I don't know. If I say small, I might have set a small percentage fee, but I doubt it. I think I say a percentage fee. No, you said it just now for the perperentage of the earlier. But you say small fee. What do you consider a small fee for fifty percent on a small fee? Well, he never charges fifty percent. Ever at forty he might

charge forty percent. Yeah, and that's only if it goes to court. Right, but that's not a small fee. Well, in my opinion, it is because you get to get you get to keep sixty percent and not pay any legal fees. Right, But it's almost happened a small fee of the it's well you are when people. Okay, that's a matter of semantics. First, I doubt I've said small. If I've said small, hold on, I still stand by small. But I don't think I say small. I think I say I may have said a small percentage fee. I

might have said that. I can hear myself saying it a small percentage fee. You're right, I think I think I've set a small percentage fee. But here's the point. I feel, for that effort of going to court, forty percent is small. That's my opinion. I think under normal circumstances, it's thirty three percent, and I feel that small. You're wrong, You're you're don't defend. Okay, good, good. I say you're wrong, and you say I'm wrong. When a consumer can keep sixty percent and

not pay a dime, I feel that's reasonable and small. So okay, we disagree. Now what j are Now what that's that's it? Okay, thank you, we'll see it. Bye. Three oh three seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five Eddie? You did I take Eddie already with a comment on Brighton? Please Eddie together? Oh no, I didn't, Eddie. What's going on? Hey? Tom? I I live in Brighton and I have had many dealings with the Brighton Police Department, and

you are one hundred correct in their incompetence. What the hell's going on there? I almost got into a stist fight with a police off. Take it to somebody blocking my driveway? Why came and got in between us? He told me that I do not dictate what he does for his job. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure I can hear you know what. I'm sure of it. I'm sure now that I've heard listen, you wouldn't believe some of the stories I'm getting from text two about Brighton police. Apparently I did

not realize. I used to think. Here's what I used to think. If we were going to give an enema to the state, we do it in Pueblo. But I'm thinking now it might be Brighton. Yeah, I would agree, And for information wise for you. The chief of police in Brighton is Dominico. His name is Dominico. Yes, I do not know his first name. I've only dealt with him personally once. But he wasn't

very useful, you know. Like I said, I don't think that they'd be able to come up with any kind of accomplishment whatsoever that they've ever done. That's the only officer, because he is a fair person and he actually does his job. Is h sergeant to breathe I've dealt with him for many years and he's a top notch guy regardless of him working for Brighton. Well, you know what, that's the that's the first stupid thing he did then has worked for Brighton. But really and truly to have a car thief in

your midst and just say bye bye is crazy. They catch and release in Brighton, that's all they do. Well, how do they justify that? You know what, Now, there would be a move to defund the police, that would be a good move. Their their justification is is the District Attorney's office would not try the case. That's their justification for it. Well hold on now that no, no, no, But but sometimes that's you

know, to be fair. Sometimes that's sometimes that's okay. If you know something is not being prosecuted, I don't think you put it on police. They don't want to waste their time, correct, But when you actually catch somebody doing a crime that they're on probation for and release them and the district attorney does not charge them anyway, Wait a minute, tell me you know

of someone who was on probation. There was a small store in Brighton, in mainst old Town, Brighton that was robbed at gunpoint by three people. Two females and a male. They were caught by the Brighton Police Department arrested guns in hand. They were released with no charges as they were on probation for armed robbery already through. Oh come on, come on, you can research it. It's fair tom, I promise, well, you got to give us something to research. I got to see this in writing somewhere.

I stay on top of that stuff because of where I look. Would you listen and Kachina will give you our email. I really want to know about this. I will look into it. I promise you. Okay, but thank you Eddie. If you get Kaschina you're trying, or give him our email that he can text us some kind of link when he finds it. Three oh three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. All right, man, this is a good show. So much going on, and today we star the Brighton Morons. The no, no, I'm

Hi Tom Martino here at three all three seven one three talks seven one three two five five. Robert has a question about Oh no, Robert, I'm sorry I have you on because you called earlier son.

Your son owned a company you guys did drain and cleaning, and you say that you hooked up with a company that did not pay Atlas real Estate. You got accounts receivable of ten grand that for sure we want to help you with. But there was a question as to what else they might owe you, or did they breach any agreement with you? And you said,

and I'm just gonna I went back to the call to check. You said you had a contract that said you had the right to do the exclusive right to do all of their drain work, and that there was no price mentioned. And you you have no such contract that you sent me zero So I'm wondering what you were thinking of, Robert. And I'm not doing this to give you a hard time. We're going to help you try to collect this ten grand. But I see no other money or any obligation they have to

you. So tell me where you think you have a contract to do all of the exclusive drain work regardless of the price. Well, I sent you the emails, right, yeah, but there's no contract attached to that. No, but the emails themselves are a contract. No, they're not. Who told you that a lawyer? Well, okay, that lawyer is a moron, and you can tell him I said it, and he can call me and we can debate it. You do. An email is not a

contract. It can be a contract contract. Yeah, they can be verbal or they can be email or Okay, I'm gonna give you a tale of a verbal contract because people say that all the time. Can a verbal or oral contract? It's an oral contract. Can it be enforced? The answer is yes. Do you know how it's enforced? See the nature and definition of a contract. Listen to This is an agreement of terms and conditions,

mutual agreement number two acceptance an offer and acceptance. Money has changed hands, right, Okay, now you had no money changing hands, and in a verbal agreement an oral contract, the way it's enforced. Is this They say, yes, I agreed to this, and you say, okay, do it if you don't have agreement to terms. See when people say oral contracts are enforceable, it's laughable because they're only enforceable if both parties agree that they

said it. Okay. So that's the wh whole nature of the disagreement is they both have recollections of different terms and conditions. So the only way you're going to get a verbal contract enforced if you both don't agree that you said it is to have third parties not related to the contract who testify that those were the terms and conditions, and then they would be destroyed on cross examination like on what date was this done and how long was it for and what

money changed hands? So I don't even want to go there. Okay, But since you've talked to an attorney, I'm not sure why you're not letting this attorney handle it. Because he told you that these emails were a contract. I'm just going to tell you something. He lied to you. Okay. He may not have done it intentionally, but he thought he was being kind. You do not have anything near a contract. What they said was we can throw some work your way all of the drain work. I mean,

you don't have a contract anywhere. And then what if you wanted to charge him twenty five thousand dollars or one hundred thousand dollars. Are you gonna say they have to do it? Are you gonna say you could enforce that? Where's the contract that says that? So listen, man, you don't have a contract. Now, if you have accounts receivable for ten grand, we can have some people start to track that down. I'll put Deputy Bow on it. Okay, are you in the studio, Bow, We can

put him on it. Try Tom. Yeah, we can try to track that down. I believe you. If you say you did, you got ten thousand dollars worth of work not being paid for. It's not gonna be hard to figure out if you did those drains. But I can't enforce some exclusive deal that you get all of the drain work. I mean it's impossible. Just out of curiosity. Who is the attorney that would tell you these are contracts? Oh, I don't remember the name I have. There was

two of them that I talked to. Well, then why don't you hire them to enforce it? Do you realize listen to this. If they believe they could enforce that contract, do you realize what a windfall it would be? Do you realize how much money it would mean? Every single job that they gave to someone else would have been a breach. So let me let me ask you this. So, based off these emails, we invested in a company to service this, based off these emails, and you're saying that

I don't have anything to stand on. No, no, now, I'm not going to give you legal advice. But here's what I'm going to tell you. I'm going to turn that around on you and ask you a question. You say, based on these emails, So based on these vague emails, literally vague, there's no definition at all. I mean it is absolutely vague. So based on these emails, you're thinking you had some kind of big contract. So which how many jobs did you think the emails meant per

week? Well it started out, well, you said you had a contract, So read it to me, Read it to me? What just tell me? You know you should be able to look at that email? How many jobs do we you get? It says I can list you as the first contact for all six thousand doors we manage in the Denver area. Okay, that first contact does not mean you get the guarantee job. No, I didn't say that. It did guarantee that. But we were and he said I can. He didn't say I did. And he's saying that if

I got workmen's comp insurance, he would do that. No, he didn't, he said he doesn't. It's okay, you know what, Hey, listen, bro, the best to you hire, hire that more on attorney. We'll see you now. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna argue. I'm listen. I'm not taking up good airtime to argue about something that isn't possible. You don't have a contract. Okay, when you need help and you want real help, call us. Otherwise, I'm not gonna play with your

fantasies. Three oh three, seven to one three talks seven one three eight two five y five. Listen, there is no good that will come from this for me talking about how wrong this guy is. After a while, it's ridiculous. Okay. I've been on the air forty five years and I'm gonna tell you something. Okay, I learned not to waste people's time. This man is hell bent on believing somehow that he had a contract and based on that contract, he went out and bought equipment, and now he doesn't

have the contract. There is nothing that guaranteed anything what soever. So here's the deal. If you believe you have a case and this attorney believes it was detrimental reliance, that's what it would be called, have him sue and work on a contingency. You don't have to pay. Have him do that. You're not going to get them to do it because you don't have a case. Three oh three seven to one three talk seven one three A two five five. If you need window washing, it's hard to find, especially

Hi Tom Martinez here three oh three seven one three talks seven one three

eight two five five. Uh, how do I pronounce it? Is a choi chew? What is it? I'm sorry with the name. How do I pronounce it? Boh? Mister Chow? Okay, sorry, mister Chow had a problem with Triple A Service Plumbing right they put in they put in a sewer line or something, and they did not back Philip properly or Tampa Bo tell me what the problem was. Yes, actually enjoy I enjoyed working with this consumer because he had all the documentation, the invoice, the invoice

number, and he sent good pictures. But he contracted with Triple A Plumbing and Service to get a drainline replaced in November of twenty twenty three, and slowly sinkhole developed and mister Chow has been trying to contact them to try to get it filled because the sinkhole create was created right next to the sidewalk which was at a hazard. Am I right in those facts, mister Chow? I think he's there, But anyway, you there, well, yeah, I'm here. So what have they done so far? Did they improve it?

Yes? Base there up a whole siloping good, but I will be way almost more than two weeks. Then really had to contact the management only answer ladies, yes, were they good to deal with? Over a trip, I can just talk about the whole thing. I had to make three calls over there, and I didn't get a call back. But on the fourth call I was able to get a hold of a service manager by the name of Mike, and I think that company is so big you just have

to take some time to get the right department. And he promised me that after our calls that he would get out there within the week and send a crew out there to properly fill this sinkhole. And mister Chow sent me some pictures the other day to verify that the work was done. So the company did step up and get this job completed for mister Chad. All right, thank you very much, mister Chow, and thank you bo. Let me

give it. Well, you got a well deserved hold on, hold on, hold on, yo, Now, George, what's going on with you? George? Hi town, thank you for taking my call. What's happening, man? I inherited my my father's home. It's the older home, and I don't have to sell it immediately, but I would love to get a extension done to see what kind of work needs to be done to it, hang it up to code or those kind of things like that. You know, since you already inherited it, I would not get a home inspector

for that. I would get a contractor. Like do you think mostly inside or outside or both? I think a I think inside but electrical and a couple of things like that, and then outside. I'm pretty sure the old clay pipe is broke that goes out to the main street. Uh oh uh oh. Now listen now that you said that, now I understand what you're saying. George. You may so you're not really looking at stuff that you're afraid that. See, you have so many different areas there, so either

you get an expert. See there's nothing wrong with a general home inspector if you're buying a home, but once you own it, you really want to get some hard pricing, So why spend five or six hundred bucks on a

home inspection and then have to go and have each person come out. I would just pick main areas, like if you need the sewer inspected, calls you know a really reputable company to you know, and remember you're going to get a big and a vast difference in pricing, So have that come out and inspect the plumbing and the drains, and then have if you're concerned about

electrical, have a good electrical company do that. If you want to look at the exterior, the siding and all of the house itself, Genesis Total Series, if you want someone, you know, that's what I would do if I own the house, rather than doing an inspection, because then you pay for the inspection. Then you got to end up calling people anyway. So just go ahead and call the contractors from our referral list. Now that makes sense. Well, the reason is because they're going to be doing the

work. So so a drain guy will come right out and and let me just give you you know, like there's so many good ones, and I always talked about the same people, but you do want to get there's a variation even on a referral list on the price you're going to pay. So you want to like Master Services. He's pretty reasonable in his ing, okay, and he's good, But so is plumb Line fix It twenty four to

seven. So what you want is to get that kind of thing. If you want a water heater, then you're a plumbing But what you want to do is pick some experts in their expertise and have them inspect that kind of thing. If you get a general contractor out there, you're going to pay a fee on top of he's just going to bring in subs. So you want the people that are doing the work. So if there are areas of concern, pick that category and have an expert come out. Do that makes

sense? And this might sound like a dumb question, but I haven't dealt with saying or even buying a home in a long time. But is there some kind of checklist or something that here's what a home inspector looks for so that I can, Okay, I understand what you're saying. Yeah, there is. You can go online and you can find those. There's an American Society of let's see, I forget I think it's called ASHY as something. And if you go to like do you use AI at all? No?

Okay, But if you go online and you search ashy, okay, search Ashy, what you can find is, uh, it's American. It's the American Society of Home Inspections. If you search ASHY, I am positive you can figure out what are the main areas of inspection. Okay, that's perfect. But I'm going to tell you it's not hard for you to figure it out. Okay, I can tell you in a very quick phone call that you can watch on YouTube again or go to our podcast. Okay, you

look at a house, You're gonna love this. You visualize it as a target. Okay. The how and the living space inside is the bullseye. The outer ring is your lot. So what you do is you start with your lot as you're walking into the home. The lot will give you the sewer line, the landscaping, the trees. Then you go to the next ring, which is the exterior of the home and the windows and the doors.

Then you go to the next ring, which is right inside the house, which would be your floor coverings and your structure inside and your foundation. Then the next ring are your systems, and what do you have plumbing, heating and cooling, drains and electric. That's it. That's the entire house. So it's not that difficult to find experts in each one of those fees fields. And uh how old is the house? George was built in the sixties. Okay, Uh so all of those expertise. Do you think you

have any foundation issues whatsoever? Ah? That I don't think so, okay, good, So visualize the target and then go to Ashy's website and and and then start looking at the major systems. I'm Tom Martino. More right after this, go with a sure thing Denver's Best roofer Excel Roofing dot com.

You have a comment on the brighton buffoons where crime runs free go ahead, taking the bite out of crime go ahead. How they actually pretended to do police work during the pandemic when they had that ordinance that no more than like five people could be together in the park without wearing masks, you know, unless they were a family. There was a family

of three that were there and the police department d just harassed him. The guy even pointed out the sign to him. This made the news and it was him his wife and his little girl, his daughter, and so the police who came up without masks, violating their own ordinance, grabbed the guy. They were showing that and they didn't even wear gloves or anything, but

you know, they're Brighting police, so they don't need to. And they actually detained them in the car for like a half an hour before finally letting him go while his daughter's over there crying, wondering what's going on. So I didn't know if he did a lawsuit against him or anything. But yeah, they actually, you know, pretended to be cops for a moment. You know what I'm telling you that the Yeah, of course they would try to enforce that. I after hearing these stories and getting these texts, I
