  • Not the same show anymore

    I’ve listened to this show for over 10 years. Over the years they have been adding more and more commercials to the point it’s annoying. The whole point of the podcast was due to it being a 4 hour show and 1/2 of that is commercials when listing live. Now it’s almost 1 hour of junk commercials. Oh and it has become a infomercial for everything that Tom endorses. Hopefully in the future it will go back to the old format and actually take calls instead of making people wait on the phone so we can ... more

  • Not the same

    In the past i felt like i learned something from esch show , these days no so much. Commercial interrupting the flow , playin at the weirdest times. And was getting too political. Was always a respite for the political back and forth in the past.

  • JAA

    Listened for years, was very helpful and entertaining. Had to stop because of the constant repetitive commercials. Plus the volume level seems as if done by a third grader. Can barely hear the callers, then commercial blasts, then Toms shouting. Not worth turning the volume up and down. God forbid a caller has a complaint about a sponsor, because the caller will definitely be berated. Makes the caller feel like a “MORON” for calling in. I finally did what you usually suggest. “If you don’t like... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Troubleshooter 04-24-26
Q: Is leasing always better than buying for high-mileage drivers?
The consensus is nuanced; leasing can be better on a monthly basis and reduces risk, but high mileage can erase those advantages, so buyers should run individualized math including mileage penalties, end-of-lease options, and total cost.
The Troubleshooter 04-14-26
Q: Can you explain how the new tankless reverse osmosis system works and why it's a better option for listeners?
The system is tankless, meaning it does not require a holding tank; it can produce up to 600 gallons per day, has a built-in leak detector, and can be connected directly to the kitchen faucet for convenience. It delivers filtration down to 0.0001 micron and removes pharmaceuticals and heavy metals, with the caveat that hardness of water may necessitate a pre-softener in some cases.
The Troubleshooter 04-16-26
Q: What should a homeowner do if a family member pays off a mortgage and becomes landlord?
Seek a clear buy-sell or loan agreement, confirm who owns the property at sale, and consult a real estate attorney to ensure any informal arrangements are properly documented to avoid disputes at closing.
The Troubleshooter 04-07-26
Q: What should the owner do when a car-wash denies coverage and suggests a specific shop?
He should pursue standard subrogation through his own insurer or demand proper handling through the owner's liability coverage, and consider taking the matter to small claims or civil court if needed.
The Troubleshooter 03-31-26
Q: What can listeners do today to start protecting their drinking water at home?
Install a kitchen sink reverse osmosis unit and consider whole-house systems to address chlorine, forever chemicals, and metals, with costs around $1,100 for RO and higher for matrix or whole-house setups.
