I just want to tell you right now, right now, and then we'll talk later on to in detail. But right now, there's only twenty six of these available at twenty six dollars. But listen, it's for both for thirteen dollars each. You get an

they doing it? They want to put their sticker on there and be your company. They want to impress you, so take advantage of it. Seven two zero five two six thirty nine thirty nine. You can't go wrong now, I want to talk about a squatter with Kurt Kirk a squatter. Not that I love talking about squatters. In fact, this whole damn country is just so divided about everything in the world. God Almighty, you know, I don't know. I think we're going to come down someday. Listen,

this is what I think. I think someday we're going to come down to businesses aligning themselves politically, although they should in corporations, this ESG thing and all this other stuff. Companies are going to be either one side or the other. Liberal, conservative, progressive, I don't care what you call but you're going to have leadership falling on one end or the other. Therefore, investors are going to follow that. Customers are going to follow that, restaurants

are going to follow I swear I country, I don't. I'm not saying I like this. I see a country where people are even going to live where the political climate suits them. You see a lot of that right now, people moving to Florida and Texas are away from So I don't know, anyway, I digress, I really do feel that. Hey, do you remember at the time when we could disagree and not hate each other. God, what the hell happened and this year is going to be the word Kirk

on that lovely thought. Let's start off our Monday with a squatter issue, right, what's happened in Kirk? All right? Now, well, secually happened to my mother. She has apartments and we have there, so what does she have an apartment building? He had like three apartments in it, okay, and one of them this guy just decided he was going to live there. Of course. Yeah, So we went through the normal channels, you know, beliefs. Now, did he claim that he had a lease,

did he claim he was paying? What did he claim? Because they have to make a claim. I he did not claim anything. And and my mother says, well, he doesn't have a lease, never signed a lease, He never asked me anything. I want to get our real estate attorney on and I'm going to tell you why. Normally, when someone squats, they had they make a claim like I live here, or I rent here, or we had an agreement or something. I'm not sure what happens

if they're stupid enough to squat and not make a claim. Squatting usually, I believe now I might be wrong, usually comes with a claim, which means then if he doesn't have a claim, can you just go and kick him out? Kirk uh I really want to, Katschina. If you could get Brad O'Brien on O'Brien legal services, that would be a good one. Let's do that, Katschina. I know Kitschina is in mourning today, but can you do that for me? Kachina? Can you pull yourself out of

the doldrums? And you know why she's in You know what's going on with her? Ray? Come on, we all know, right, don't we know what's happening? Do you know why she's in mourning? Because Dollar Tree has closed its doors? Yeah? After thirty five years. You hang on, Kirk, We're gonna get you an answer. I'm serious, okay, as to what she can do if the guy hasn't made to claim or wherever? What state is she in? Denver? Colorado? Oh? She's in

Denver, Colorado? Thank you? Hold on, Ashley? What's happening with you? Ashley? Hey? Did you send me an email? I did you know what? I love the fact that I recall that right now. I'm trying to find it. Something about your stuck. Tell me what's going on? So the short part of the short answer is that we haven't had solar panels on our roof for over seven months because our solar company, Sunrun REFU just had you absolutely anything to get them up. Well, let's let's

start at the beginning. How long have you had this system? So we bought the house three years ago, it was already on the house. Oh, you inherited the system. Yes, we finished sam when we moved in the house, we went ahead and bought out the rest alone. So the solar panels are our very clear, but they're still supposed to be serviced by Sunbrin well, sun Run. Who is sun Run? So they're supposedly one

of the top solar companies in the country. No, they're not. It says when you look online that when you look on they're like, hey, sun runs one of the best, and they're not. I could never go with them. Was it installed by sun Run? No, Originally it was owned by the event and then sun Run bought them out and so they took over the contract. Now, when you take took over the contract? What contract? So basically, so sun Run is on the side of our house.

They have the box on the side of their house. They're supposed to do all the warranty and do all the servicing, and all did under warranty. It is under warranty. How do you know this based on our contract and also the contract for I hate to keep asking these, but I what contract? The contract when you bought the house or the contract after you bought it you signed up with sun Run. Tell me about your contract. So the contract you originally had was with Vivin and then they had a really hard

time moving all of our stuff over. But then after we got a bunch of hail damage on our roof last year, Sun Run then signed to had us contracts to have them take off the solar panels and then reinstall them, and that included all of the information of will maintain a warranty from previous So you signed a contract how long ago with the sun Run that to detach and

rate set the panels was in September. No, I'm talking about that actually said if you let us take the panels off and put them back on, we're going to service this whole system for you forever or what what were the terms. It just doesn't sound right to me that this company comes in to take off the panels and reinstall them or supposedly reinstall them. But you say it also was a maintenance agreement. How much were you paying for this maintenance

agram? Well, not fortiving it. It was for anything required to maintain the warranty, so not like maintaining and checkout on it every year. But they were supposed to maintain the warranty for any damage to the solar panels. And okay, what warranty do you have? What do they mean by a warranty? So it was supposed to be ten years from the time of installation of the solar panels, and then a twenty five year manufacturer warranty. Okay, And you're saying sun Run took this on, Yes, and what do

you pay them for this? We already paid for the solar panels, so it's but you didn't pay You didn't pay sun Run for them. I believe we did because I believe at the time that we bought the house, sun Run was already the one in charge of the solar panels, and so he paid off the loan. It would have been the sun Run but you did us. But that contract was that signed with you were the previous homeowner.

The original contract was with the previous homeowner. But then we when we bought the house, we had to take it on and so we just paid off this. Yeah, but I don't care if you say you took it on. And Ashley, please understand most of those contracts are only for the original purchaser. Do you actually have a contract that extended to you from sun Run? Yes? Do you have it in writing signed by sun Run, Yes,

that they will take care of that. They will honor the warranty of our solar panels from the previous one from where originally was it was supposed to be ten years from the time of installation. Okay, now, okay, now here's what I want to know. They took them off so you could have roof repairs and never put them back on. Well, what they have fed is we don't have people in the area, so we're going to hire

a subcontractor or do it. The subcontractor Nova Source turned out to be fraudulent, so Novas Source without the permits they were supposed to have before done by sun Run, who didn't do their due diligence, they took off the solar panels. They've been on our fence for the past seven months, and I was the one who found out that Novas source was charuduling because they were Okay, here's where are your panels right now? They're on our fence. So

did you pay for both removal and installation or just removal? We had a contract for removal and installation and we were working. How much did you pay? How much did you pay? It was full? Then here's what I'm going to tell you, Ashley. You need to start from scratch. You cannot depend on Sun Run to service this. You didn't pay for it, so just just cut them off, just forget them. Okay, I'm going to have some suggestions for you. Hang on. I promise you some solid

suggestions. I'm Tom Martine. We have more coming up. And don't forget the most extraordinary deal ever for extreme clean of both furnace and ac.

All right, listen, I don't know how we're gonna do this because we only had twenty six available, but thirteen, Han is telling me.

Now, Hannah, you're telling me that you can get both done for twenty six dollars of full extreme clean for twenty six bucks. But if someone just wants the furnace or just wants the ac done, you mean to tell me you will roll a truck for thirteen bucks, honest to god, for thirteen dollars. Yes, you want to know why we're gonna do that? No, Yeah, he's crazy. Why are you gonna do it? Seriously? Are they serious? We want to do this? Right, We're playing a

long game here, Tom Enough. Of course you're hoping the quarterback. Right, They're gonna see how good this is. Okay, no other company goes this far. Thirteen dollars. We're gonna guarantee no breakdowns. This summer at that guarantee, and then we're gonna have a feen dollars if you just want your air done thirteen bucks. But here's what I want to say. Okay,

are you you said there's twenty six available now? Is that gonna be twenty six at thirteen, twenty six at twenty six and twenty like twenty six furnaces, twenty six acs and twenty six combos? Or are we gonna do just twenty six no matter what because it must be sold out by now? Is me twenty six no matter what what? People call in for six bookings for this very special office. Okay, people, they've got a call. But it'll still even after twenty six, it'll still be just be thirty nine

bucks anyway for one or the other. But right now, twenty six available at thirteen dollars, or you can do both for twenty six. You can't beat that's seven two zero five two six, thirty nine thirty nine. Let me go to the phones. I got two experts standing by. Brad O'Brien is a real estate attorney. Brad, you know, I know we talked about squatters before, and I know you're probably sick and tired of talking about

it. But let me ask you a question real quick. In the past, I thought that a squatter would make a claim, for example, and let's bring Kirk up to who called. They would make a claim saying well, I have a lease, or I this is my place, or we have an agreement or whatever. Kirk said. In this case, his mom has three apartments in a building, a triplex, and somebody moved into one of them. But apparently, Kirk, let me get this straight, that

squatter is not making any claim. What do they say when when you ask why are you there? He just kind of says, I just moved in here. Did he say did he say I had an agreement? Or did he say I just need a place to live? I mean, does he give any explanation? No? Not really. The thing is he's been there for a while now. And how long has he been there? It's been like five months or month? Wait? Wait wait wait wait wait wait Kirk, why would your mother let that or why would you let that happen for

five months? Well, I can't do anything about it because I'm I'm real sick. I'm barely walking, and you know, I just got old, and I'm old are you How old are you? I'm about fifty eight, Kirk, kill you tell me you're too old. That's cool. Anyway, you're sick, Kirk, I don't want to make fun of that. If you're sick, if you're truly sick, or to say, what's wrong with you? Man? I have an atrophy? And by abd are you? Okay? Okay, okay, listen. So so you're not just fifty eight,

you're fifty eight and you have diabetes which is out of control? Right? Yeah, okay, listen? Right? So are you are you overweight? Kirk? Yes? Okay? But this guy is, you know, just acting like he owns the whole building. Oh okay, So Brad does a squatter right? First of all, does a squatter get more rights the longer they're there? I just need to know that one thing. Do they no? So long as they're never there with permission of the owner and they

don't pay rent? Now, what if the squatter is not making any claim? Can't they just have him removed? Yes, there's an expedited eviction process for squatters. Has to be somebody that's not related to you, never paid rent, never had a lease, truly an unauthorized person, and that expedited process can be done as quickly, as quickly as two or three days within

the court. Now is this new, Brad, This expedited process. No, but it's not really used very often because typically somebody has has either paid rent or they had permission to enter in the first place. This is truly like a squatter. Somebody's broken to an vacant place and just squatted. What if he changes his mind in the middle of this process and says, oh, we had a verbal agreement, Well, that's a question of fact.

I mean, you can still the lamb. The owner can still proceed as if it's a squatter case, and then there's a hearing then like a day or two, and if the squatter can prove that they had some then it's not no longer squatter case. We've done the expedited eviction. You did it. Yes. When the sheriff showed up over the Denver shriff, he says, we have to have twenty people and access to a truck to move his stuff. Twenty Wait, wait, you have to have twenty people. Yes,

Well, hold on a second. You did mention one time, Brad, in passing, and I didn't write it down but you said something about the sheriff can demand that the that the eviction be done in an hour. Yeah, one to two hours. The sheriff doesn't want to be on the site longer than one or two hours. So you either have to hire a professional moving company or show up with your own help in trash bags. To do it yourself. You have to put who decides how many people the sheriff

eyeballs on site. You basically have to show them when they show up for the eviction that you can get it's done in an hour or two. In Denver it might be an hour. Yeah, the guy doesn't have nothing. I mean the furniture that was in there. Wait a minute, so what happened? Wait? Wait? Wait, so what happened When the sheriff showed up? They would not let you evict. They would not let us evict, and we had to get a locksmith. You know something, Brad,

These sheriff's deputies have no uh, I don't know. They have no business trying to practice law, in my opinion, don't you think that that was wrong for them to do that? Well, they size up what's in there. As far as furniture and stuff, I can't believe that they would have said twenty people are necessary, even a professional crew. Are you sure they said that? Kirk? Yes? Did you? Okay? Who was the deputy that told you that? Do you have a name? I don't know

what my mom does. I want to get the name and what sheriff's department was it? Denver? Share? Now, once he had this order, Brad, and he was turned away by the deputy, can they just redo it or do they have to go through the entire process once again? Well, if it's been pretty recent, he should be able to try again with the same writ of a restitution without having the same writ. How long ago was this writ, this court order? Kirk? Three weeks ago? He

can he still use it? Do you think, Brad? I don't know the hard deadline, but I think that's still recent enough. Yeah, they want another one thousand dollars to do it. Who does the Denver sheriff? What are you talking about? Another thousand? What are you talking about they're talking of let's going back to court talking to the judge again. Well, no, no, no, no, the sheriff doesn't practice law, Kirk. I know. Did the sheriff tell you you have to go back to

court. Yes, you know what, Deputy Doc. We need to call the sh aff's department. What the hell are these guys doing practicing law, Brad? Do they have a right to tell him me? You have to go back to court. They're not going to honor that writ No, and the sheriff see is normally like one hundred hundred and fifty to execute a writ. No, he meant it's going to be another thousand to go back to court. It doesn't sound right. No way, Kirk, I'm not here.

We need to talk to your mom. Okay, we're not hearing. There's something we're not hearing. Is your mom able to talk to us? How old is she? She's lady sick? Okay, is right now? He's admit she's sleeping. Okay, never mind, Kirk. But Kirk,

are you saying you try to reserve or re execute this eviction? And the sheriff said, we're not coming until you get a new one, right and again with the twenty people and the truck and okay, you know what, let Deputy doc you're there, get We got to call the Sheriff's department. There's nothing in the statute about twenty people or anything like that. I just can't believe the Sheriff's department. We need to get some names and make some

calls, Kirk. And personally, Kirk, I don't believe what I'm hearing. So did you hear this? Personally? I'm hearing a second hand from my mom. Okay, I don't think your mom heard it correctly. Okay, So I can't go over there for your mom. If you can't do it, then we're just going to have to rely on her, and she doesn't want to do it. So you may just have to give up your place to this guy forever. I don't know what to tell you if no one will step up and do it. If you can't do it and she

can't do it, then this guy lives there. Did he show up? Let me ask you this, Kirk. Did he show up all of a sudden or does he know someone living there? How did he find the place? My guess he's the son of one of my mom's friends. Well, did you talk to one of those friends I have? They had a falling out somehow, and I don't go Well, Kirk, your mom may just have to give up her place. That just might be. You know, there's no magic here. If you and her won't stick up for your rights

and won't do what you need to do. It belongs to him. We've already done that. We've already had the sheriff at the house and he no. No. What I mean is defy the sheriff. You go tell the sheriff that they're wrong, You talk to their superiors, and you make sure. See you haven't talked to anyone, Kirk, You're leaving it to your eighty six year old bedridden mother. She's not but oh, okay, nothing.

Well, we need to figure out whether you or your mom wants to take this on with the Sheriff's department, because Deputy Doc needs to talk to one of you and get to the bottom of it.

I want to uh go to brook now about this solar system. And then I want to mention that deputy Chopper he's going to take the one instead of Doc. He'll take the one for the Sheriff's department. He has he knows people over there. He's an ex cop or police officer or whatever you want to call him. And let's talk to Ashley. Ashley, let's talk about

this. So Brooke Ashley said she bought a house and inherited a solar system and that she had storm damage and needed to get the panels removed and reinstalled. She hasn't been charged yet, but she said she found a company who supposedly was going to service the system. So they took off, they subcontracted someone to take off the panels. They were going to now also service it.

And I said, what do you mean service it? And she said, well, our solar system has a ten year warranty on some things in twenty five years on another and sun Run said they're going to take care of it. And now sun Run is basically ignoring her. Ashley, Do I have that right so far for the most part? Yeah, I mean sun Run they're the ones who are supposed to be over how they own our and monitor our account so everything. Yeah, but they don't own your account.

I just want you to know that. Okay, they don't and you have no obligation to them. What's so because you haven't paid them a dime and so so far, all you have is a company that said they were going to help you and have done nothing except remove panels and left them there. And you said the company they sent was fraudulent. Yes, so certainly you don't feel an allegiance to sun Run, do you not at all? Okay? Now, let's talk to a good solar company Red Rocks, Roof and

Solar, and I want to talk to brook Brook. First of all, Brook have you heard of sun Run? Yeah? Absolutely so. Sun Run's a nationwide installer. So a lot of folks have utilized sun Run in a variety of aspects for their solar Are they good company? I found that most folks that work with sun Run wish that they hadn't. Okay, now, next question, who is this subcontractor Ashley that removed your panels? Nova Source? Have you heard of Nova Source? No? I have not heard of

them. Okay, that's because would you explain this to her and explain it to everyone? How solar companies come and go like bubbles in oozing poop? Yeah? No, you definitely, I mean that's that's normal. There's a ton of solar companies that start up and then they are able to do what they say that they're going to or help out customers the way that they're going to and things fall through the cracks for sure? Are they electrical contractors?

Did you see their license or what makes you say that they were fraudulent? So they were not licensed in a Rapahoe County to take off and to remove and reattach solar panels and sun runs out. They're supposed to give us their license summer beforehand. They did not. And it was only when they weren't No resource wasn't doing anything, and I finally called a Rapahoe County and to see what the status of our permit was and where are your panels? Right

now? They're leaning against our friends. Yeah, okay, are you are you an unincorporated a rapa Hoe County? Yes? Yeah, so unincorporated a rapa Hoe County is unique every other place to pull a detach and reset permit or remove and reset whatever you want to call it, is like a single day quick permit for a rapa Hoe County. It takes one to four weeks to issue a permit, so you're at least looking at five weeks out minimally

probably to have your panels redone. If you work with a company that is licensed a rapa Hoe County requires either a general contractor or a engineer on full time. Last, you have to be naps and certified, and you have to be a electrical contractors. No other jurisdiction in Colorado requires all three, so they're very difficult to get licensed in or to do it. Are you licensed there, Yes, we are. Here's what I suggest, Ashley. Let's just cut right to it. You're beating a dead horse. I would

leave sun Run in the dust. Forget about them. You don't want them. They already picked a fraudulent company. You don't want sun Run, you don't want a Nova source. What you want to do is simply get a good company to come and finish the job. Since you haven't paid a dime, you'll be money ahead. That's my recommendation. We're not going to waste our time trying to go after sun Run. You haven't paid them, and in fact, why would we go after them. We don't want you working

with them. So, even though they're the one for all of our information about how much we're getting from our solar panels and what we're saving through the energy company and things like that, if we go with another like if we just switch companies like that, we'ld just switch to or listen, let me explain something. The manufacturer's warranties have nothing to do with sun Run. They

have bsdu into thinking that they're helping you and they're not. And this information that they supposedly gathered from you, Brooke can find out in a half hour or less. So exactly like what Tom's saying. So, whoever your inverting company is, which if you have a ten year warranty, sounds like it might be Solar Edge and Solar It's just all of the monitoring CNRON just makes it look nice. Yeah, so hold on a second. I kind of come right back, hong on, hang on, go with a sure thing

I think the biggest problem in the solar industry, and I've said it before is service people suck. Yeah, I would agree one hundred percent on that. So can you take why is it that people

think that they only can use one company for warranty work? Can you talk about that? Well, some companies have it within their warranty that their warranty voide it. So, for instance, in my if you work with us, we have a thirty year parts in labor warranty, But if you have somebody else do it, then our warranty goes away. But the manufacturer ones

always stand. It doesn't matter who you work with. So that's maybe one reason why folks think that the manufacturer's warranty, which is the only one she has, will stand. Yep, as long as that person is certified with the war like the manufacturer, which almost anybody working on solar is going to be us able to work on stas and Solar Edge.

And he said it was caked and on dirt on the blower that was causing it to be out of balance. And all they did was cleaned it. Well, I shouldn't say all they did. It

was an extreme clean. They actually removed that cage, cleaned it and then cleaned the burners which were burning yellow.

This was years ago, and he said we're going to do it for thirty nine bucks. And I said, whoa, you just spent two hours here and he said, yeah, but we want people to see what we can do. And that's the story of

that. Seriously, I was with it when it was birthed, and so from then on in they kept doing thirty nine, which would have been like two fifty ars. Seriously at least. But anyway, today today it's thirteen dollars. I swear to God thirteen dollars. Now, I don't care who you are. I don't care if you're skeptical about anything. You can't get anything for thirteen dollars. So they'll come and do your complete air conditioner today

for thirteen bucks or not today. They'll schedule it today if you schedule today, right, So it's thirteen bucks or your furnace for thirteen or both for twenty six. Obviously thirteen plus thirteen for those from marktsas equals twenty six. Now I want to mention this that is today only twenty They said twenty six were available. But I have to believe that they're extending that number because they're still taking calls. And I know damn well that they have twenty six.

But at least until it ends, they reserve the right to end it. But call seven two zero five two six thirty nine thirty nine fixed my home dot Com? Do you want to add anything to that? Before we go to the calls and talk about stuff, what do you want to add to that? One of the big questions we get is we give a no breakdown guarantee. Yeah, yeah, And people asks us, how can you make that guarantee. Yeah, you really hit all the points. But the big

part of that is the number one cause of the breakdown. The breakdown it's going to cost you fifteen grand when you have to replace it. Is that dirt, dust and debris it's caked on there. People don't realize it. The first thing that goes the blower motor. That's that is the key. We actually pull that out. When you show the homeowners that blower motor just how dirty it is, all of a sudden they realize. And then what happens is that cakes on, It resists, starts, then the seals start

breaking, oil starts coming out, it seases. Then after that the burners, the burners get caked up, and the valves, the little holes where the gas comes out. I mean, there's so many things that happen, and the dirty or your house, by the way, the worst it can happen. Yes, So in addition to this, if you ever get this done, and you should, you should all also consider duckt cleaning too. That can help your house. And then in general, basically, what can

I say? You have to change your stupid filters, Yes, I mean people never do it now. I when I had these guys, they just were at my house. Now, you wonder how do I keep getting these? Well, because I'm a member of the Green Bubble Club. So they came and did a cleaning for us, and they said, do you see this filter you have? Tom And I didn't buy it, Stephanie did, so I'm not going to take the blame. It was a thick, high efficient filter and it was supposed to be like really good. They said,

don't get this great filter. You want the most wispy filter. Yes, exactly. You want to be able to see your hand through it. Okay, so hold it up to a light and you want to see your hand wave right now? Why? Because you do not want to choke down your furnace. People think the thicker and the more thick and better that the better off. They are right, and it's not. You want a wispy filter that you can see through. The secret is, however, you must change

that filter monthly, or at least every two months. Now. Obviously, if you have a really clean house with an electrostatic air cleaner and all of that, you might be able to get away with two months. But I would say they're so cheap, why bother trying to go more than a month. And there's my there's my speech now. An somebody doubted me when I said that dollar stores are shutting down, but they are in fact not just dollar stores but Dollar Tree. They're shutting down and I saw that. Let

me let me look for it here. But I saw that, and it's it's true. So uh, that's why I joked with I joked with Kaschina that her she's in mourning because of it. But the dollar stores have closed. I think there was like six of that one. Let me find it here. I have the actual names of all of that. Yeah, Dollar

Tree stores and also dollar stores. Now my YouTube morons know about it, so I'm surprised you haven't heard that they were closing and they just can't make it anymore or they'd have to change their name to the five dollar store and that's not going to work that well. So what's happening is, let me think how many stores, like hundreds in addition, because it's more than just Dollar Tree and Dollar Tree though is big, big, big big. But

anyway, that's according to the news I read. Of course, this is not inside information for me. This is literally what I have read. Now, Deputy Choppers here, Deputy Shopper, do you have a follow up on anything. Oh, I'm working on I already contacted the dever Sheriffs. I'm waiting on them to get back to me. But have you talked about the fly in? Because I was in my car and I didn't hear the beginning.

Oh what I said was I think it was off the air. I'm thinking, I said, Deputy Chopper, and I or I said, I guess. I said it to my YouTube morons on the chat that we got together on Saturday and went to this country airport, which right now I'm not going to give the name because and I'll tell you why, because I don't

want it to be overcrowded anyway. I couldn't believe all the people that show up from all these little What happens is this guy on the first Saturday of every month has a fly in where people come and have pancake breakfast and all of the guys in these airplanes from little country airports join It. Wasn't it fun, Chopper? Wasn't it fun? I had almost forgot how nice airport people are, But it was great. It was a good time. A lot of airplanes to look at and you know, pancakes and sausage. No

politics, just fun exactly. The biggest controversy is who had the who had the best airplane? I mean, come on, hey, here's the deal. So we went in and a Chopper and that's hence the name Deputy Chopper. By the way, he actually got to fly. But I just want to say, somebody, Chopper, the seatbelt fit. I was so impressed. I mean, you're making tremendous progress. I'm serious. I hope you don't mind me talking about this. Did I violate hippodology? I don't.

Yeah, I don't carry. Hey it's working. Yeah, choppers, Uh, choppers doing well on a diet. And we were joking about the seatbelt not fitting well. It fit even before it was just a little tight that I think he was more comfortable this time. I think what we ought to do, chopd is one day have a YouTube more on gathering at the hangar and take them for rides. What do you think that's a great idea. Yeah, I might even throw on some hot dogs and burgers, but who

knows I might do that. No, I'm not gonna mte do it. I'm going to do it. So you got to remind me. Yeah, it'll be only you got to be signed up on YouTube for the show in order to get it. You can't just show up and then we'll do rides.

Well that would be a lot of that. Yeah. So anyway, Chopper, let me know when you get a hold of the sheriff, because what they said was on this eviction of a squatter, they got the expedited eviction, which is being afforded to people that have no contracts, no agreements, nothing at all, and they claim the person just show up. There's an expedited eviction. But when they had the writ to move them out to the wriit to move the guy out, the Sheriff's department, according to this

guy, demanded that they have twenty people to do it. Now, I've never heard of such a thing. I do know that Denver can demand that you have enough people to get it done in an hour. It does not have to be a professional mover, and you do not have to put it in a truck or a U haul or anything. All you have to do is move it to the front. Now, according to this guy, there's

nothing in that apartment. The squatter has next to nothing, So why would Denver Sheriff's Department demand that twenty people show up, so they weren't able to evict the guy that was three weeks ago, so they wanted to do it again. And now the Sheriff's department is saying, you need a new and our attorney says, no, you do not. You don't have to go back to court for another one. So we have the sheriff's department practicing law.

Now the deputies are are and I don't mean deputies like our deputies. I'm talking about the Denver Sheriff's Department that I think what they're doing is they're they're pissed off that they're getting their coffee and donut time eaten into, so they're I think what they're doing is they're demanding things that aren't in the law. So I want to know what the hell's going on with these idiots, because I just don't think that they have a right to do that. Three

h three seven two five five. We got John. He wants to talk about Tabor. Everyone's wondering where the checks are. The checks are delayed, they're coming and we hear that they underpaid and we'll have to send another round of checks John, What is your question? Well, I saw new saw a news broadcast on Fox thirty one, and then I looked it up online and read a little bit of the story. Apparently they still owe us like thirty four in that. That's right money, that's right that wait wait,

wait, they do have the money because the Tabor money was there. Are you saying they don't have the money they're trying to figure out what to do with it right now? Well, I think they spent the money, is what you mean to say? Yeah, I mean, can you believe these idiots they sent out the wrong amount. First, they tried to keep it, remember that maneuver. They tried to keep it. Well, they tried to eliminate the table. No, that's what I meant. They tried to

eliminate it, saying we're going to lower your taxes. But remember they were the ones that raised our taxes to begin with and then turned around and say, well, now we're going to lower your taxes by keeping the bottom line is it's a big scam. Our governor is a scammer. He is a scammer. He looks for ways. Remember when he claimed it was him that was giving back this refund, His administration had nothing to do with him.

In fact, it was up to him we wouldn't get one. I you know, whether you're a Republican or Democrat, you can't be happy with Polish. I'm sorry you can't be Now. Now I will tell you this. I will tell you this. I don't think he did a bad job when it came to COVID. I don't think he did such a bad job. But anyway, no, I was not forget he called the selfish bastards though what oh he called a selfish bastards We didn't want to wear masks? Oh oh oh yeah, Well you know I'm telling you, man, I just

get so pissed. So anyway, John, did you what was your specific question? Well, my question was because I haven't really heard anybody else talk about it except on Fox News one time and then looking it up on uh No. But they have to pay us, There's no way around it. They're going to have to do it. So let me see what I can find out. During the break, we got more coming up. Get your calls in three oh three seven one three talks seven to one, three eight,

Can you hear me? Bill? Are you there? Yeah? Can you hear me Tom? I sure can Bill? What's going on? Man? About a month ago I went to Breaks Plus to get my tires rotated and I even got an oil change. That last snowstorm, I went like two blocks and my wheel literally fell off and your tires were

rotated and they did your brakes, Yeah, they did both. And then when I drove it down the street to get gas and this Toyota Tundra, I just I have the pictures on Breaks which which wheel? Which wheel fell off my front driver's side. Well, there's no way that's a coincidence in my opinion. So what happened. They took they went and got new rims for me, but my fender is all caved in, and well they need

to fix it. What year is this at twenty ten, Well, the good news is you're not gonna have diminish value or anything, but they should fix the damn thing. Well, here's my question to you. They were just gonna pick drag and grab it. Please, sorry, sorry, okay, just hold on Bill, just I'm gonna put you on hold for a minute. Just and Kachina just talk to him real quick. I and for those listening, and you heard the delay, and I know my YouTube morons

let's go to Hannah fix At twenty four to seven. Somebody said, the no breakdown guarantee is both furnace and AC but but what but we're not going to even use the furnace until winter, So talk about that, well, talk, that's what you would think. Actually, your entire system works in conjunction, right, So when your AC is running all summer long, that blower wheel that's in the furnace right, the whole it is working in anarmover,

it's an error mover. If that thing is clogged, if it's got the dirt, dustin debris on there, energy bills are going up, breakdowns are happening. So really it is the perfect time to do both AC definitely, but furnace too. Yeah, so either so if anything in the system breaks down, they re they guarantee it. So anyway, three oh three, seven to one to three Tonk is our number, or three oh three Martino, you can call twenty four to seven and we have more coming up

There are absolutely conflicting reports on this Dollar Tree and how many stores they're closing, and this freaking news break by the way, and I'm going to go to the phones, but news break says they're all closing. Think about that they're closing their doors at Dollar Tree, which I am told

is not true. This is an entire news article and anyway, stay tuned for that they should check their accuracy, I guess, and that comes, by the way from the US Sun. News Break is an aggregator of stories. But I still think they should be responsible for what the hell they're republishing At the US Sun. They republish that anyway, Let's let's keep going here. Three all three seven, one, three eight, two five five.

So breaks plus bill we left off with you a month ago. Breaks plus tire rotated front driver's side wheel fell off on his two ten Toyota Tundra. Here's what they need to do, no matter what, whatever, whatever it takes, they should put you back to reaccident condition. They don't have to do anything more than that. Okay, if you want to paint your own car, you got to come up with an adequate number on what they would have had to have painted. They don't have to give you a new paint

job. Okay, So I think, how much is it going to cost to repaint the car? It's going to be like four thousand dollars. And okay, if they had that front if they had that front driver's side fender fixed where the wheel fell off, how much is that repaint going to be from a body shop? What's seventeen hundred. That's what it would cost,

yes, sir, just that area. Yeah, well look okay, or would you think it'll be uh, it'll look like because the truck is a work truck, I mean it might have some scratches next to the door. I mean, Bill, they don't have to paint your whole truck. Okay, there you have right now, a fourteen year old truck. Fourteen years old. Okay, if now they owe it, they owe you the fix. They need to fix it, no doubt, and they need to make a decent paint job, but they don't. So they should try to blend

it the best as possible. But they do not have to paint the rest of your truck. Now. I don't know if seventeen hundred is high or lower whatever, but if you get a few estimates and that front quarter would have cost you seventeen hundred in paint, then they should give you that money and then you can put it toward a full paint job. That for sure. And if they won't do that for you, I think we need to put someone on it. Now. Are they refusing to pay anything for the

paint? Well, no, he was going to do that, and I was going to like pay half. I mean, if you look at the pick wait wait, hold on, Bill, I'm not understanding. What were they willing to do for the pain. They were going to be paid this. They were going to put a new fender on and repaint it good. That's all they have to do, Okay, I didn't know. Well, why would you think they have to do more? And why? I mean

I was going to meet them. Well, I mean, if you look at the pictures on Google, I mean, and they tried to fix them, wheel of them even that was done wrong. I had to I had to go Bill that. Bill, Bill, I'm not justifying them fixing it wrong. If you heard what I said, they need to fix it, right, Okay, they need to and they need to paint the fender they put on. But I don't know why you believe they need to go beyond that. Okay, I'm just I'm probably just You're probably right, You're right.

I mean, I'm just I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm just saying that's all you can expect. Everything else is called better mint now people, and Bill, You're not the only one. A lot of people make the argument that they were that and happy. They would have never thought about painting the whole truck. But now that that fender is repainted, it's not matching perfectly. Blah blah blah blah blah. The courts don't work that way. They just don't. You don't get to just better the situation by the

fact that you had an accident. You just don't. If it was a newer truck and you couldn't get the paint to match, you'd have more of an argument, for sure. Three three seven, one, three eight, two five five. Let's go back to the phones and talk to Mohammed. Mohammed. What has happened? Oh? Did he hang up? Mohammed? Okay, we'll go to Kem then is it Kem k e m or ken Jim? Kim? Kim? Okay, Kim. What's happening. Well, I've got a problem with a roofing product that was installed on my house three

years ago. Interesting, what's the problem. Well, that's one of the synthetic shingles, the fifty year shingle product. What is it called, Well, it's made by the f Waves company. Is it the hail proof like plastic kind of thing. Yeah, it's a synthetic material. That's hailproof, wind proof, you know, fifty year product. Yeah, I've heard you mentioned mentioned f wave before with one of your roofing companies that you deal with. Well, I don't know if I did. I know Mark mentioned yet.

I thought he was the one that had that done. Maybe maybe I'm wrong, but we have talked about it before. And who did your roof? Well, p r Q Exteriors did an outstanding job. I've had no issue with them. They've been super It's the shingle product that what's wrong with

them? Well, I believe it's a it's a defective material. What what the representatives has told my roofing company is that apparently there wasn't enough adhesive applied to the underside of those shingles when they were Now are they saying just this batch or are they claiming all of the f waves They're they're claiming the batch that was installed in my roof did not have a proper adhesive on it. Oh, so what are they going to do about it? Well, so

this roof was installed in twenty one, three years ago. The first winter I noticed the roof, the machinles were popping up and they they contact when in twenty twenty one, during the fall, when the weather cooled off, that's when the shot it. Okay, it's in the cooler. So they advised PRQ to apply a silicone to the underside of the shingles and tack them down nails. So the PRQ did that. The next winter two thousand fall

of twenty twenty two, the peeling started up again. You shouldn't mess You shouldn't have to mess with us. You paid good money for that roof, man, that's a fifty year roof. It's a fifty thousand dollars roof as well. And did your insurance pay for that or did you pay for the upgrade? The insurance paid for it. How did you get them to upgrade you? It wasn't an upgrade. I had a high quality shingle on there to begin with. But they okay, very good, very good. So

what's going on now? Where does it stand right now? Well, the second winter, the shingles popped up again, and they came up with a specially my made clip that they wanted installed to try and hold them down. That's a come on, man, just why won't they just redo it? Well, this is a this is the third year now and they're still peeling up after they had the clip. Wait a minute, so wait, you him, you let him put the silicone, and then you let them fix

it again, and you let him fix it. Let me get this straight. You let him fix it three times. No, the first time they put the silicone and nails to tack it down, and then the second time, the second time they applied clips. Okay, and it's still coming up, it's still coming out. And so I had a representative come out again this spring, about a couple of weeks ago, and he took it back. I wrote a letter. He asked me to write a letter to the

company explaining what had been done in the last three years. Their response was, you can do one of two things. We can tack it all down again, or you can put the clips on the whole roof again. But they won't replace it. They won't replace the roof. I think they're dead wrong. Well you and to you and the roofing company, and I agree, But are the installers agree? F wave does not agree? Why do they think you should accept this? Well, that's where I'm at with this.

I'm in My roofer thinks it's crazy. He thinks they're a big company picking on the little guy and waiting to see what I'm going to do. Well, I want to talk to one of our roofers, just to get there, to get their input. Well, i'd like learning get a hold. What's that? My concern is, I don't think whichever route I go, tacking it down or putting clips on, will pass an inspection if I ever want to sell this house. I'm not sure that. I don't think

that's your worry. I think my worry would be I bought a fifty year damn roof and it's jury rigged well, and they'vemitted that the adhesive must not have been applied correctly to the shingle spatch, and that's why you went with an f wave shingle with a fifty year warranty exactly. Oh, this is ridiculous. So they're going to fix it for fifty years. Well, I don't know what they'll do because the first clips I applied to it didn't hold them down. Why is that? Though? I find that very odd?

Well, why would hold on a second? All right? I want to get let's see if we can get Jay bretts on from Excel just to weigh in on this three oh three seven one three eight two five five.

He's also the owner of Excel Roofing. I've known him for many, many years, and we were talking about f wave and apparently it's happening all over the country.

So I thought f wave was the Shiznit's at first Tailproof hardy, but now they're having a problem with adhesives and keeping the keeping the damn roof on the roof it's peeling up. And now they go out and they put silicone nails or clips. The guy says, I didn't spend fifty grand for this, And Jay, you're saying, as long as they keep honoring the warranty, just go with it. Well, how would you feel if you put a very expensive roof on your house and every year or so you got to have

people come out and fix the shingles that are coming up. And by the way, I hear your point, Excel is not involved in this job. I'm asking Jay as as an observer of the industry. Go ahead, Jay, I totally get what you're saying, Tom, and for everybody out there. The F wave shingles there, plastic shingles are about a quarter of an inch stick. They kind of look like a thick asphalt shingle and the plastic nature of them, they are very bomb proof in my opinion, very resistant

to hail. So I think that that's great plastic shingles. Over the years, we've seen discoloration problems as the main problem, and we thought that F wave was the schnitzel. Also, to use your word sometimes what happens is that the plastic. I don't know, if it's just the nature of the material or whatever, it will lift up a little bit. I guess the first question I have for Tim is how bad are these things lifting up?

I mean, if it was my house and I had this roof and the shingles were lifting up more than say, half an inch, I would be really concerned. They're not. They're not. It doesn't look like a bunch of ski jumps on his roof. Then I would let the manufacturer continue to work with it and see if it gets the problem under control. How far are these shingles lifted him? They're easily a half inch, and it's probably thirty to forty percent of the roof. It's not just a few shingles.

And I've got now, do they lift where they already repaired them or only in the other sections? Well, the slope on our roof as such that I can't get up there and look at it. But as much as many clips as they put on last year, they've got to be lifting up over the clips and the clips didn't hold them down, is what I'm saying. But that the pictures are unbelievable. Did you send me the photos. Did you send me the picks? I did not. No, I didn't know

how to do that, but I can. I might want Jay to take a look at those and we'll call you back. Jay, would you mind taking a look at him? Certainly, I'll take a look at those. Tom So, Kim, how old is this work? It was installed in twenty one, so it's three years. So the first three years worst spring, first spring they did the adhesive and nails, and the last year they did especially designed clips. And so now I'm on the the third year, trying to put a band aid on the same. What percentage of it is

coming up now? I would say thirty to forty percent. That's amazing. See that sucks. Inty percent is lifting up half an inch. Some of them are half an inch, some of them maybe not as much, but significant. I mean, you look at it. You wouldn't believe that it's that somebody is living with that.

Hey Tom, I was reading an article on Facebook. I believe it was with the Colorado Suns that the Democratic Legislature has negotiated with polists and all of the fund whatever millions or tens of millions are going to be refunded, are going to low income people. People that tay taxes will not be getting any refund I'd have

not heard that. Are you sure of that? I tell you I read it last night on I believe it was the Colorado Sun that they had reached an agreement and all of the refunds will be going to low income you mean the additional refunds. Yes, I don't know. I mean, I'll look that up, but I don't know about that. And that was you know, I mean, that's the only place you read about it. They're calling it childcare tax credits that are going to low income people. Okay, I'm

going to look it up. That I'm just and I believe it was. I believe the paper or the organization was because Colorado sucks and it's for low income and what is it being called childcare tax credits? Oh? Wait that well, childcare tax credits are a whole different thing, man. That's how they're going to return the Taver refund. Okay, I don't know, bro, I'm looking it up. I'm doing all kinds of searching as we're talking. But let me see if anyone else knows about that or heard about that.

here three o three seven to one three talk. Okay, so on the table, Yes, they are considering. It doesn't say here on any of the articles I'm reading that it has been approved finally yet, but they are trying to redirect about seven hundred million of Tabor refunds from wealthier families to low or income families. They want to provide thirty two hundred per child for kids under six and twenty four hundred per child between six and sixteen to the lowest

of income families. So that is something you know, isn't it funny? How listen to this. We pay income taxes in this state and they get a surplus, and according to Tabor Taxpayers Bill of Rights, they're supposed to refund that. And ever since the Taxpayers Bill of Rights have been implemented, ever since, the lawmakers do nothing but try to keep it. They try everything they can to keep it, and when they can't keep it, then they want to redirect it. It was our income tax to begin with,

and it was a surplus. So after the fact, they're saying, now that you've given it to us, we do not want to give it back. So they come up with all kinds of reasons to keep it or divert it. You should get it back. It's a tax refund. It's not a charity. Why is it that the government believes your money is their money, and then they decide how much you get to keep. Why is that

it's the other way around. Don't you think it's counterintuitive? You would think that if you're a legislature that giving money to your constituents would curry favor with them as opposed to not giving it to them, which would get them really upset. Well, that's what you would think. But let me explain something in the law of politics that I've tried to get through time and time again.

And here it is. When you're of a particular political ILK, and I'm not saying no matter what ilk it is, you are willing to forego pain. You are over You're willing to overlook your personal ethics. You're willing to overlook your religion, You're overlooking every family ties, friendships in order to be politically right. I don't mean right as right or left. I mean politically correct in your mind. And you are willing to go through pain and

suffering for it. If this country goes to hell, as long as their party is in office, they're willing to go through hell. I've said it before. Political pressure is the strongest, the strongest pressure there is it breaks up marriages, it breaks up families. Listen, you have people making the sign of the crown for their religion, and then you know saying there's nothing wrong with abortion. And again, I'm not going to give you my belief

on a board. I'm just saying that there's a dichotomy there. You can belong to a religion that absolutely positively outlaws something, but if your political party is for it, you will overlook that part of your religion. So and by the way, I'm not making a judgment. Well, I'm saying like it is, and you know that's how it is. That's exactly how it is. First in life comes this survival, absolute survival, breathing and food and water. Right then politics, even above family. I swear to God,

you don't think I'm telling you the truth. Talk to parents and kids who don't talk to each other anymore because of politics. Talk to best friends all of their lives that don't talk to anybody. They don't talk to each other anymore. Politics, politics, politics, So Doc, you say, why can politicians do this? Because they're ill. They believe if they give the money to the poor, they're doing what they're supposed to do. And

everyone in that party will follow the same with the other party. If they do what they believe is right according to their party, everyone in their party will go along with it. You're not going to ever admit you're wrong. That's it, and you know that's what it is. And I'm talking about all political parties. If it's according to your party, you will grin and you will bear it. You will overlook a man who can hardly wipe his

ass if you want him to be president because it is your party. Or you'll overlook a man who's accused of dozens and dozens and dozens of crimes and grabs women's genitals. Why because it is your party. Now, I know both parties hate me right now because what I'm saying, But it's true. Whatever your party is is right, whatever the other party is is wrong. And I don't mean right as and right, I just mean correct and incorrect.

God, I'm so sick and tired of it. I wish people truly honest to God and truly wild, truly their their their heart and their conscience, not just political pressure. But that will never happen. That will never ever ever happen. Politics are the number one force, number one Chris, what's happening with you? Chris? What's going on? Hey? Tom good more, good afternoon. What's going on? Then? I'm in a situation and I need some help. What do you have a situation? This sounds

serious? What's this? Go ahead? My own two houses. One of them's free and clear. One of them we have a two hundred thousand dollars note on it. The house that's free and clear, we have been renting for eight years, nine years now. I only kick tenants out because we need to leave Colorado. I've done almost all of the work to fix it up, to get it ready to sell. But I heard the one that's free and clear. What is it worth? Uh, we're probably gonna put

on a market on six hundred, it's okay. And the one that the one that you live in. How much equity over five hundred? So but you still owe money on it? Right? Yes, there's still a two hundred thousand dollars note on it. Then okay, got it? So what what is your question? All right? My question is I'm trying to fix up this rental and I'm almost done, and I hurt myself and I can't

finish the work. And one of the problems is a family member borrowed some money without our permission or knowledge, and well wait, wait, wait, how do they borrow money without permission or knowledge? That's called steal, that's not called borrowing family member? And she will sir, are you there, Chris, he's popping in and out. Chris, Hold on a second, We're going to reconnect with you, okay.

Mike's got a

comment on Tabor. Mike, go ahead. What's your comment? Uh? Yes, Tom, As a matter of fact, I called the several times previously, but apparently last week or so could not get someone onnest for the CPA or account or you know that type of thing. Well, hold on, do you still need a question on that? By the way, you still get her? Well, we'll do that. We'll do that afterwards. What's your comment on Tabor? Well, you know I went ahead and filed on an extension. Uh as such? What? Oh wait wait wait,

you were wondering where your refund was. Well, no, because my CPA is telling me that it's disallowed if you go ahead and do an extension and that wait wait wait, wait wait, what is disallowed? You're not disallowed. Well, that's from what I'm trying to do over the weekend I went through. You know, I've got a different, different information from the Department of Revenue and as far well, what did the Department of Revenue tell you?

What they're saying is that if you filed a extension as far as a federal return, then you're allowed as far as the TABOR but you won't be able to go ahead and file for that until the twenty fourteen return. You can't get it between you know, even though you did an extension, you can't get it before then. No, no, no, you only get it after your final tax return is filed. Right. Well, they're saying here is that you won't get until your twenty twenty four return is filed.

Okay, credit, here's what they say. Okay, I'm looking on their site. Okay, say it's not It does not quit disqualify you. But if you don't file by the April fifteenth deadline, you may have to wait. After the filing deadline. You have to wait until your until they know what your taxes really are. That's what that's the bottom line. And so it could come into the next year. But you won't be cheated out of it. Well from the information I've got to you know it from the well,

sorry you got you got wrong information. They don't keep it. Okay, So what can I tell you, Mike, you got wrong information? Unless their own website is wrong, you don't You're not disqualified. Okay, so what I did file do if you if you file an extension, you are still eligible for the refund and it won't be applied towards twenty twenty four. You'll get it, We'll say, if I filed here this, I don't know when you get it. They say you're still qualified and upon filing

your final your final taxes, you will get it. Okay, Okay, that's all I know, man, I mean, I can't go. That's what they're telling me on tabor, on the on the website. So you know, I don't know why you think you're not going to get it. Mike, It's wrong. You will get it. They do not take it away for filing an extension. Okay, So I'm not going to say it

again, Chris. Let's go back to you, Chris, as far as this contractor goes, Now, you own a home, one mortgaged for two hundred with a five hundred thousand dollars equity, the other one free and clear for six hundred. You want to sell both and get out of Dodge, right, yes, sir, but you're trying to fix up which house? Now? One night we owned Frank Clear, this was a rental property and right you want to fix up the rental. So what's wrong? Pretty much

nothing. I've done almost all of the work. It's just I hurt myself and I'm having a hard time finishing the job by myself. Yeah, and when we found out our money was missing, Bacon, we'll hold on her. Now. When you say money was taken, that's right. The relative stole your money. How much money? One hundred and sixteen thousand dollars? And who is the relative person? Okay, so you won't get him arrested. How did he take the money? My wife's disabled and we had a

trust set up and he was a co trustee. Okay, got it. So how did he use the money? He had substance abuse issues? What's that? Substance abuse issues? Okay? So now what is your question for us? Chris? Do you know any contractors that would be way to work with me and help me finish this and either accept payment after the fact, can do financing? Or do you know ways that I can tap into? Yes? I do no ways, yes, fairly quick. Yes, there are ways you can do it. Yes to all of them. Now,

do you have let me ask you something. Do you have any income at all or both disabled okay. Now capituli security and I get via disability. Okay, so you're not going to qualify for a loan. Probably not? Okay, well you will. How old did you say you were? Sixty two? Oh no, I'm My wife is fifty five. Okay, you can get a reverse loan even at fifty. There are certain reverse loans you can get. They're expensive, meaning they're going to cost you for points up

front, not like hundreds of that. I mean they're going to cost you, you know, six, seven, eight, maybe ten grand. You're going to get a loan enough to finish that house. But you on your primary residence, where you have all of that equity, you can easily get a reverse loan. You don't have to qualify as far as income. You will have enough money to fix up in a line of credit the house and then it's not going to hurt you or eat up too much equity because you're

going to sell both houses and pay it off. Okay, that's what I would do. How long would that take to happen? Approximately? Do you have any estimates? You could probably get it in six weeks? Yeah, okay, now maybe less. You should call one of our people in power reverse dot com talk to Mark Massey in Power Reverse. Now, listen, I'm gonna tell you something. He does these. It's a little more expensive because you're not both sixty two, but you can get it done, and

you really should because other than that, you're gonna lose it. Here's the number seven to zero five hundred seven seven one nine. The only other thing I could recommend is maybe if you go to a contractor maybe like Genesis Total Exteriors they do inside to or you go to one of the people on a referral list like Triple A or people have been on there for years, some

of them may consider doing a lean on your house for the amount. If they can afford it, they'll do a lien on your house, maybe charge an extra few grand here for carrying you, and then have you pay off the lian, like almost a second mortgage, having you pay it off when you sell. Maybe I'm not sure, but they might. They might work something out with you, Kat, I'll try. I'll try. Given get at assistant Triple akehol and see and then don't forget about I wouldn't. I

wouldn't discount the reverse loan on a short term basis. I understand it's just these six weeks is an issue because we're running out of money. Why don't you ask him if he can do it sooner? Now here's what I want to know. What are you going to do about the kid that took your money? It's one of the reasons we're choosing to lose Colorado. We managed to get him into rehab, and she's basically saying that I I don't know

right now. She's very upset with him and she doesn't want to speak with him, but I know that's wrong and she needs Well listen, man, he really screwed you guys in your older age. That's a lot of money. He took people with substance issues. They don't care about other people. Is there any hope in prayer this guy can ever pay back anything? Possibly, but it would be trivial and it would be long term. What I mean and this I'm telling you. Does he feel any remorse at all?

Yes? No, he knows more of the situation. He just kept assuming that everything would be okay. Is your son too, No, he's my wife's son. Yeah. Ah, more than one hundred grand, more than one hundred thousand dollars, yes, Sir ah Man and that was her money. Yes, sir God, all right, the best to you man.

Tom Martine, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three O three seven one three talk three O three seven one three eight two five five. Okay, let's talk and see what we can do for you in your life. Okay, that's what we do each and every day Drew is talking about something he's upset about, and that is his doctor and all of that was this after an accident, Drew, Yeah, yeah, and what was prescribed to you that they're refusing what was prescribed. I'm supposed to get physical therapy.

Yeah, I have two large terrorsts in the right knee. And I also, now, who's refusing to Who's refusing to give you this? Uh, physical therapy through Jersey manufacturer's insurance? Wait? Wait, wait, hold on the insurance company? Does do you have physical therapy coverage? Yes, they're refusing it. I haven't seen any reason. They're just refusing it, saying well, hold on now, hold on. So it's not the provider refusing it, it's the insurance company refusing it. Yes, how do you

know you have coverage for physical Not all? Not all insurances cover physical therapy because I was told by the physical therapist. That's not the issue. The issue is the car insurance company is refusing to provide payments, saying it's not yes necessary, But the doctor has written are you prescriptions that I needed? And I do need it. I've got an injured back, injured right knee. Okay, hold on, do you have medal. Well hold on in

New York or Jersey? Where was this accident? Through two eighty seven north near what state? Bro I just need to know what state New Jersey? In New Jersey? Is it in no fault state? I don't know much about that. All I know is the state troopers sell me totally. Here's what I want to know. Are you no if this was the result of a car accident, is the other party paying for your expenses? Or do you have any kind of medical payment coverage? The other party paid for the

damage to the vehicle. My insurance company is supposed to pay for physical therapy a New Jersey manufacturer. Is it your car insurance company or your health insurance company? My car insurance company? Okay, I get what you're saying, insurance and then when that runs out's supposed to go through medicare. No, I get it. I get it. So you're saying that your car insurance company is supposed to pay who is your carrier on your car? New Jersey

manufacturers? I never heard of that before. Okay, Doc, can I make a suggestion? Yeah? Hey, Drew just asked the doctor who wrote the prescriptions to write the letters of the insurance company, and a lot of times that will do it. If he writes a letter saying that it's necessary and he prescribes it, very often, that will turn the tables. Thank you for that. That's very nice to you. Is there an appeal process

with the with the insurance company. My attorney just got the information, so he said he's going to get another note from the doctor and he should give it to where again to do what? Yeah, you should you should send

it to the insurance company that's refusing. In other words, the insurance company, they have what's called managed care, meaning that they look at your case and because there are let's put it this way, Drew, there are some doctors that will prescribe anything, and they're saying, just because it's prescribed by your doctor doesn't mean it's medically necessary. So they need to understand why your

doctor is recommending it. Right. There's another reason too, because the insurance companies, I may need to get an operation on my right knee, there's too large terrors there. They won't allow the operation until you get the physical therapy. And they're denying the physical therapy, so it doesn't make any sense what they're doing. And the doctor is a good doctor. He's written,

and I need therapy for the right knee and the left back. Oh man, I I just don't understand why your insurance company is flat out refusing it. I mean, really, the only reason I heard from the physical therapist's office is they're claiming I don't need it, but they're not giving any reason. They're just saying I don't need it. But there's an appeal process for that. Listen. I would do what Doc says. First, have your doctor write a letter, not just a prescription, but a short letter as

to why you need it that you can provide to your insurance company. And then I would also go to the insurance commissioner in New Jersey saying that they're refusing care. Okay, good idea, and then threaten this when you talk to them in a nice way, bad faith, that they're not giving you what you contracted to get. Just do that and see what I think you might get. A reaction that might surprise you. Three zero three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. Welcome to the show.

So earlier, by the way, this was a real fiasco because now I'm looking up more and more stories, and there's all kinds of conflicting reports. But here's the bottom line. Yes, some dollar stores and dollar trees are closing, not all of them, not the majority of them. However, I did mention it because I mentioned in the beginning one of

the articles mentioned that a lot of them were closing. That turned out to be a bunch of garbage, by the way, and here's another thing. There is a move across the country because of the expense of doing business that if you are making reservations now or appointments and don't make them, more and

more companies are now going to charge no show fees no shows. That goes for hairstylists, that goes for regular restaurant reservations, that goes they're getting your agreement that if you do not show up, they're going to charge you. Doctors, of course, have long done that for certain appointments. Dentists are doing it, but they're going to start doing it for other service industries as well. In fact, if you make an appointment to have someone come to

your home for something and you're not there. They're starting to charge no show fees or cancellation fees. Again, is this legal? People ask? Here's the bottom line. If you agree to it at the the beginning of your relationship, then your business relationship, they can do it. They cannot arbitrarily do it and say well, we're just gonna charge it. They can't. Okay, they might want to, but they can't necessarily do it unless it's

part of your original agreement. We have more coming up on the Troubleshooter show. Go with a sure Thing Denver's Best Roofer Excel Roofing dot com. You don't pay a cent until you're content.

what we really say, this is all about education. It's showing what's going on the system, then offering options. But really, if you're getting that system maintained once a year, right before the summer, that is the best thing that you can do for your investment. Whether it is the bills every single month or making sure that that system is going to run and not have an expensive breakdown. And you know we're only doing this price Tom for your

people. You and George are good friends. At the thirteen dollars price, you're not going to find it anywhere else. And it ends it to o'clock. You've been calling like crazy. Okay, so okay, good, we went way beyond the twenty sixth thank you, But it ends at two o'clock. So if you want to get in for the for the twenty six bucks, you'll never I mean, look, once you have it done, I'm convinced there's no one who's going to have it done and think they got screwed

on this one. They got. That's the best deal ever. And you increase your efficiency and keep track of that. Now, by the way, as of the latest, here's what we're being told the redirection of tabor funds. One guy said it was a done deal. I can't find forification of that. But they are trying with the balance that's due us. See, they paid a certain amount and then there's a balance due that they didn't pay. We're being told that they're diverting that to low income families for childcare.

Credits up to thirty four hundred bucks. I can't find where it actually has been finalized yet, but I'm trying to do this while I'm also on the air, so you have to give me some grace here. If any of you have found differently, let me know whether or not it has actually gone through for sure, because I do know they're trying their damnness to get the rest of our money. And I say our money because it is our money. It's the bottom line, it's our money. It is absolutely not there

for them. It's overpaid money to the tax biller tax Payer's Bill of Rights TABOR that they're supposed to refund that money. Again, they refunded some. There was a balanced and now they're trying to divert that. Okay, you've probably heard with what's happening with the minimum wage all over the country. And by the way, I'm not saying it's bad or good or anything. I'm just saying, with what's happening with minimum wages around the country, you're having

fast food joints now missing their earnings. Picture that doesn't mean they're losing money by any means, but the earnings are not as optimistic. They're missing their estimates. See estimates of earnings are given out on a quarterly basis, and they're given out sometimes sometimes some more than that, but it's usually quarterly. They give out what an estimate will be for earnings in hopes that stockholders will be energized, and then when they go beyond that, it's really good news.

But if they don't hit the earnings, it sometimes doesn't farewell for stock prices. But the companies are obligated to tell the truth and not to exaggerate on the earnings or be pessimistic. They're supposed to try to be on target. Here's the deal. Fast food places are missing targets because their labor has gone sky high. So the idea was to try to make all jobs at least support a family. It's not going to ever happen, but that's what

they're trying to do. But here's what's really going to happen. More and more fast food joints are looking for a are looking to ai kiosks to fill orders. Drive throughs kiosks restaurants without people or maybe two people where there used to be twelve. And now even though the minimum wage is being raised, we're having less people make that minimum wage, or they might make a little more than minimum wage, but there's going to be fewer of them. So

it's really having the opposite effect of what people think it will have. It is, it's not helping to give us more well paying jobs. If anything, it's doing the opposite. It is actually kind of making it more difficult on workers. And that's just the way it is. Whenever we try to screw with the economy, that's what happens, because we do it with the idea. I'm sure everyone's idea is to try to make life easier for people. Now there's another thing going on, and I want to know how you

feel about this one. It's called tipflation. That's a nickname given to it. You know what I mean. If you're paying more for items at a restaurant. It used to be fifteen percent, right then it got to be twenty percent, But you're paying more anyway, so now it's twenty percent. And since the average ticket is more than it used to be, the twenty

percent of that ticket would logically be more. But servers and people in the business of getting tips say we should actually be doing more than twenty percent, even though the ticket items are going up, we should now be tipping twenty five percent. See this part. I don't understand by the way. I'll tip really well if it's great service. I've tipped up to thirty percent, but I tip ten or nothing if it's really bad. I've never had service

that bad where I don't tip anything, not in a long time. But as far as twenty percent, why isn't twenty percent adequate? If the ticket items have gone up with inflation, the tip increases with inflation. But that's not what these people are saying who are in the industry. According to this article, they're saying that people in the service industry believe that it should be now twenty five percent, in some cases even twenty six percent. So think

about that. If you're at a restaurant and you spend, it doesn't sound that bad with lower amounts, right, I mean, if you have twenty five percent, what do you think? But when you start getting up into a bill, let's say a two hundred dollars bill, come on, I mean that could be that could be hefty. What do you think? Now on a smaller bill, it doesn't sound that bad. But here's how I

do it with smaller bills. Two percentages. If I'm going out to breakfast and things are only fifteen or twenty bucks, I don't ever tip less on breakfast ever than ten dollars. I mean, I don't care what it is. If it's twenty bucks, it's ten dollars. If it's thirty bucks, it's ten dolls. Because they work hard for breakfast. You know, there's a lot of pick up, a lot of coffee, a lot of different things. When it gets to be more than that. Though I've not gone

over twenty percent, do you think that's wrong? Do you think we should start doing over twenty percent? Is what I'd like to know.

Matthew, Welcome to the show.

What's going on with you? Matthew? I got a quick question for you. I own a house free and clear, and I want to make sure that if something when I die or something happens, I want to leave it to my siblings or one of my siblings. What's the what's the smartest way to do that? Through the will or do the trust? Well, you you don't need a trust for one house. How much do you have in addition to a house? Just the house, only the house. You can

do whatever you do, don't do it before you die. Do a beneficiary's deed? You You can do a beneficiary deed to your siblings. But if you do that, they have to have an agreement among themselves as to what percentage they each get or it will all be equal. Okay, do you want to leave it equally? What if can I leave it to like one? And then say if something happens to that one, and then you go down the list there's three of them. Yes, yes you can, Yes

you can. You should have an attorney do it to make sure it's some right, but yes you can do that. You don't have to leave it to all of them. You can leave it to one in a beneficiary deed. Then what would happen if you did that is it would automatically go to their estate, not necessarily the other sibling. If you want to do the stair step that you said, first sibling, second sibling, third sibling, then you have to do it a different way that you would have to do

in a will. So what you would do is do a beneficiary deed, but in the will specify that if that person is deceased, then it goes to the next and then the next. So you need a combination. And of course you can always do a you know, I mean it gets more complicated a trust, but you really don't need that. Okay, so do you have for let me ask you something about your house. First, how much equity do you have? I don't know. It was given to me.

It was given to be my grandfather five years ago and it's so it's he's had it since the fifties, So I don't know now when you say it was given to you, did he die He died recently, but he gave it to me. Well, he was still alive, he signed over the Okay, so you inherited his basis on that house, which means that if you tried to sell it, there'd be a lot of taxes to pay. What's the house worth about? Well, I think the last appraisal is

four to fifty. Yeah, so you have four point fifty. You have four to fifty of equity because you don't have any loan, right, So that's that's some good money. That's some good money. However, you have no loan on it now, right correct. Yeah, So if you if you, by the way, don't make the mistake a set I say, I said of quick claiming it, make sure that you put it in your

will or a beneficiary deed. So on the day of your death, what would happen is they would get the stepped up basis, meaning a higher basis, which would mean in the in essence, lower taxes for them. Okay, I hope that makes sense. You ought to try calling one of our attorney Dan McKenzie would be great for that. It wouldn't cost you that much at all. And he does stuff like that all the time on a one up basis, and that's mackenzie law. Eight three three c plans eight three

three co plans. All right, So Hannah, some of the feedback as far as they want to know when this ends, because I heard Kaschina trying to explain it to people. So on the twenty six dollars meaning thirteen each, you don't have to have them both done, but if you do it, it's twenty six. If you have one done, it's thirteen bucks. These are going to be good through two o'clock. You can make the appointment up through two o'clock. It doesn't have to be done today, is that

right correct? You just need to book it today, get it on the bus before. Yes. So you have like whatever nine minutes, ten minutes, Yeah, you can. You can hit a little more, a little more than ten. You have eighteen minutes or something, So call now a seven to zero five, two, six, thirty nine, thirty nine or can you do I don't know if you can get it on the website. Can you go on the website right now and get it done. You should

call right now because we only have a few minutes. So to make sure you get in there and you specify which one you want done or if you want it both, you should get them both for twenty six plus. You'll be crazy not to And that's seven to zero five two, six thirty nine thirty nine. Again. You know you can increase efficiency, no breakdown guarantee, blah blah blah blah blah. All right. In consumer stuff, that's really important. What we're finding out is that people on YouTube are cheap skates,

my morons. I'm trying to figure out what they feel is a correct tip. This is something where I disagree with a little tipping on to go orders. People feel like they should not tip on a to go order. And I've seen people work their asses off on a to go order. Now it's not the same as serving you, but they put it together, they package everything up. They're working at the counter, they're not working at tables. They're doing just to go, and I think they should get some kind

of some kind of tip. What do you think, Hannah, I don't think they should. I don't know. Well, you know, I worked in college in the restaurant industry, and it does take a lot of time. So what I do I do to go is not just throwing it in a bag and handing it to you eighty five bucks, you know, just something for their time. That's how I handle it personally. Anyway, somebody said, if they're standing up when they order or get served, they don't

pay a tip. It is interesting too because you see this, you know, I mean, I think of places like Starbucks where I know they get paid well, but you're standing right next to them when you decide whether to tip or not and they're watching. You can feel the pressure. Do you ever feel that? Yeah? How about this? How about when the new little key oscar or the iPad or the whatever where you have your card, then they turn it around to you and then it has a tip ten twenty

Well, no, it's usually fifteen twenty twenty five. Uh huh okay or custom right, yep. Custom. So on small things like if I just get a little cup of yogurt or something out as frozen yogur or something, I'm not gonna tip seventy nine cents or a buck twenty five. I always do a minimum of two bucks for that. You know what I mean, and it might be percentage wise high, but I mean, these are there if they work hard, they're smiling, they're trying to help you. I

like tipping. Okay, I don't over tip, but I do like tipping. I think these kids deserve tips. But as far as here's another wrinkle, I'm a little pissed off when the restaurants have service fees or what do they call them? They call them service fees right, yeah, or they call them yeah, that's what they call or surcharge of some kind. Now here, here's the thing. Then they still have the tip line. Well, I was at a place, a really nice hotel or resort, and

they had a service fee, a resort fee, have twenty percent. They call it their service fee. But then they had a tip line, and I'm thinking, oh, I'm sorry, I don't think I want to tip above the twenty percent. I mean, that's a lot of money. So what do you do in that case when they have a service fee? Do you subtract it from what you would normally tip or does this substitute what you would normally tip. What I do is I ask the server, I say,

does this go to you? If it goes to them? Then if I would do more, I do a little bit more, or if that was the base amount that I found a lot of times when I asked the server that say, well, that's a service stars, so we all split it. Yeah, so what do you do? I mean, that's where it's getting odd. But a lot of restaurants are adding it as a service fee. So I say, why not just raise prices in general and have no tipping. I'm wondering. I'm wondering, he would that be good?

Bad? What do you think? Hey? Tom? Yeah? So Ryan and I were just at Casa Benita this lesson. How was it? By the way, I actually liked it. I thought the food was a very big step above. Oh yeah, sure, So we kind of went on like a little double date thing. But they don't allow tipping anymore. They've raised the prices, so it's not an all you can eat thing like it used to be. Okay, and you don't have to take an entire roll of tombs before you go. It's considerably better in terms of quality. But

yes you don't and there's a lot of up charges. I'm not gonna lie about that. So if you want to drink and you want it brought to your table or whatever. You know, there's a charge for that, but you don't tip, so everything is built in so at the end of the night, that's it, and I had no problem with it. But the food, the food, is it like a good Mexican restaurant? Now, would you say a good Mexican restaurant? I think that is a little bit of a stretch, is it like? Okay? Is it like so it's

not like a good Mexican restaurant. Now would it be comparable to like haciendas? No? Okay? Is it comprehend? Is it in Taco bell? Yes? Yes, but it's way better than it used to be, is what you're saying. Yes, I mean, like I said, what are the prices? Like? In general, it's forty five dollars per person and that is included in everything. But that does not include any alcoholic beverages. So if you want a margarita or a glass of wine or whatever, it's

a little bit of another charge for that. And then you only get one order of soap apios, which is an order of four, So if you want another order of soap a pios, you have to pay a dollar for it. So that's what I'm saying about up charges, and there's like different sauces that you can get which are also upcharges. Call but I thought it was okay, but they they have that whole structure of you don't you don't tip, they I get pay it. Yeah, I like that. I

like that. Three oh three seven one three eight two five five. Go with a sure thing Denver's Best roofer Excel Roofing dot com. You don't pay a cent until you're content.
