  • 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 09-10-26
Q: What should Chris do to start attracting clients for Alta Signal Co. in Colorado?
Focus on building a concrete one-page portfolio, clearly define services, use AI authority tactics to demonstrate credibility, and actively pursue in-person outreach at events and industry meetups, followed by targeted outreach and demonstrations.
The Troubleshooter 08-10-26
Q: What is the advised consumer action if confronted with a roof rejuvenation offer?
Get a real roof inspection from a licensed roofer, verify the roof's actual remaining life, and avoid rejuvenation promises since they do not address leaks or underlying damage.
The Troubleshooter 08-07-26
Q: Is the trade-in value for a 2019 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with 46,000 miles reasonable when upgrading to a 2026 TRD, given a $30,000 trade-in and $24,000 out-of-pocket difference?
The panel suggests comparing the 2019 value (roughly mid-$30k range) to the offered $30k, and negotiating the out-of-pocket difference; with detailed VIN data and dealer quotes, a buyer could aim to reduce the gap or negotiate added value like warranties to reach a fair deal.
The Troubleshooter 08-03-26
Q: What is the starting point for a minor's claim when a school is involved?
The starting point is that the school is a governmental entity, which brings governmental immunity into play and requires notice within 180-182 days, plus a probate-like process for approvals and to preserve the ability to recover medical bills that were previously paid.
The Troubleshooter 07-30-26
Q: When does someone actually need a trust rather than a will?
A trust is often recommended when people want to avoid probate, maintain privacy, or manage assets for heirs, especially if there are concerns about who controls assets after death; revocable trusts let you retain control, while irrevocable trusts are used for protection and Medicaid planning, with strict restrictions on who manages the assets.
