  • 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.

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 4-3-25
Q: What are your next steps now that you've won in court?
Yes, I'm looking to organize a class action suit to help others who received unfair fines under similar circumstances as mine.
The Troubleshooter 4-3-25
Q: What was the outcome of your administrative hearing?
I was denied within 40 minutes, and they ruled against me during the Zoom hearing with an administrative officer. They considered the statute regarding toll evasion, which didn’t align with my circumstances.
The Troubleshooter 4-3-25
Q: Why did you challenge the civil penalty for crossing the double lines?
I believed I was unjustly penalized for doing something many drivers do when they accidentally miss a toll lane; I paid the toll and wasn’t evading it.
The Troubleshooter 4-7-25
Q: What happens if a tenant has not received their lease renewal notice and their lease is about to expire?
The tenant is likely to go month-to-month if the original lease states that, but the landlord must give a rent increase notice according to local laws.
The Troubleshooter 4-1-25
Q: How do you insure branded title vehicles?
You can generally only obtain liability coverage; comprehensive and collision coverage may not be available until the title is rebuilt and passes inspection.
