• 0:04
  Speaker 1: little bit about Bakersfield real estate. We talked about the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: NFL because it starts today, and then we got some
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: argument with some Raider fans. Check it out. You're talking
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: about buying your kid their first car at 16, right?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And there are people out there that have been calling
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: me and have been saying that, no, you're spoiling your kid.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't be buying him a car. You should make
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: them pay for it themselves. Oh, my God. Get over yourself.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Buy your kid the best possible thing you can afford
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and be good to your kid. What if you've got
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a good kid? What if you've got a kid that
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: really is responsible in handling their business at 16, 17,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: 18 in high school? Why would you not help them
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: succeed in life? You're basically not helping them. Good morning, Hal.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, Romeo.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Just talking about the....
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up?
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Supposedly.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: No, I think that it has to do.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: A lot with parenting skills.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: When I was, I don't know, in my younger age,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: my parents are straight out Mexican, you know, and they
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: feel like, no, you got to learn, you know, what
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: it is to pay for bills and pay for this.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And I had to drop out of college because I
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: couldn't afford college. I couldn't afford my car. I couldn't
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: afford my car insurance all at.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: The same time.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And there's a lot of people that had.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: No, I'm with you. I'm with you. Your parents failed you.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, and I feel like I failed them because I
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: couldn't keep up with everything.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they made you, they guilted you into making
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you feel like you did that. You didn't do anything wrong.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: They failed you. And then more people would understand the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: possibilities of setting your kids off on the right track
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: instead of trying to make them into something. Oh, I'm sorry.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I would tell your mom and dad, I'm sorry you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: guys had to work hard. But there's no way you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have helped your child succeed in any way.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Possible yes i feel the same way so we me
• 2:04

• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: And we told her, if you like to get a

  Speaker 3: part-time job just for your own little things that you
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: want to be getting, that's up to you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: All right, here's the deal. I got to jump. Put
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: your parents in the worst home you could possibly find
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: when they get old enough, okay?
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God, Roby.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: All right, 8-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, Romeo, if a kid wants a car at 16
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: years old, then he will learn the responsibility and everything
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that comes with owning a car at 16 years old.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: He's just 16. He's still in school. He doesn't need
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a car. The school provides bus rides for free. He
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: just wants a car to be cool in high school
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and on the weekends. Tell me what a 16-year-old needs
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a car for. Because he's 16. And it's not about
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: being cool. It's about having a little bit of freedom.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Once you get your first car, you have that little
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: bit of freedom to learn, to grow in this world. Okay.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So I don't, I don't know what kind of, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: don't know what the hell's wrong with you, but yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you're a, you, you need help.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: I hope you're not raising kids.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, good morning. Good morning, Romeo. Hey, my 18-year-old son
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is a senior in high school. He just got his
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: driver's license. I got him a dependable 2002 Toyota Camry
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: gas saver so he can get to school and his
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: internship at a local technology company. Plus, he will be
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: heading to BC as well. I have engraved in him
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the worst thing to do is buy a car and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: make payments plus insurance. I've showed him how expensive it
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is and how important it is to save money and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: get a college degree, and everything will align in the future.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I'm here to guide my kids, not hand them everything. Well,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you just handed him a brand new car. I mean,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a 2002, but there's nothing wrong with that. Anybody who
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: says buying their kid a car is an idiot. is
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: spoiling them, you're an idiot. I mean, if you go
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: buy your kid a car, a brand new Mercedes G-Wagon
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that you're making payments on, that's spoiling them. But if
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you're buying them something you can afford that's reliable, that's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: just helping your kid out. Why are you parents so
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: opposed to helping your kids out?
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: What is wrong with you people? That's just despicable.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Why would you not want to help your kids through life?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: You know, especially at such a young age. Okay, if
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: your kid's 40 and you're still, you know, paying all
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: their bills and maybe we need to reevaluate, reevaluate what's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: going on. But at 16, 17, 18, high school, wanting
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to go to college and you're still not helping them.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: You're trying to.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Throw them to the wolves because that's how we grew up.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That makes them a man. No, it doesn't. That girl
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: just called. Her parents threw her to the wolves and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: she failed. When her parents sounded like her parents had
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the ability to help her succeed. Her parents should be
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: embarrassed by the way they what they did to their child.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: You guys are not very bright. It's a good thing
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I'm here to explain to you guys how to raise
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: your kids because you're doing a horrible job. Funny, we
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: were talking about.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: Buying a kid a car.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: At 16, some people out there believe that these kids
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: need to work for it. Some people believe that it's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: spoiling them. If you buy them one, I think both
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of you are wrong. All right, good morning, Hal.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, what's going on?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: What up, man?
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Not much.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: I just wanted to get my input in on not
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: having a car.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: What do you got? Yeah, well, first of all, I
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: didn't mind having... a broken down car, and it was actually,
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: used to be my mom's Aerostar. She had no problem
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: at all, loving it out to me, knowing damn right
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: how I drive once home. How to drive. I think
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: I hit a few curves, and I come back, she
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: didn't really mind, and she understood that I was learning
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: how to drive at the same time. There's a lot
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: of things that become good from actually just letting them
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: learn themselves.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: But at the same time, I'm making sure they don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: get the aero parts taken away like.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I did once. Yeah, there's nothing worse than having a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: car and then they're taken away from you as a punishment.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: This is actually when I grew up having broken down
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: cars myself because she understood that it's not having a
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: nice car that matters. It's about getting from point A
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: to point B.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: And that's it. All right, man.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. I appreciate it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the responsibility of it. There's a responsibility of having
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a car. We're talking about buying your kid his first car,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: her first car.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: At 16, right?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: A lot of you out there is like, no, man,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: they're spoiling him. No, man, you got to make him
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: work for it and pay for it and all this.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: You buy him the best you can and move forward.
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Tom.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: Hey, what's up, bro?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Hey, what up, man?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, nothing.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's called spoiling your child. For me,
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: I tell all my kids I don't reward failure. So
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: as long as you're in school, doing what you have
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: to do, straight A's, doing your chore around the house
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: without me having to remind you, I'm going to reward you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: My daughter's 15 this year. She's been principal's list, final row,
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: dean's list, her entire school career. So, yes, when she
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: turns 16 and she's still doing the same thing, I'm
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: going to get her a car. That's not spoiling my child.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: That's rewarding her for her success.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Well, what is wrong with these people who are texting
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and calling and saying these idiotic things about their kids?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's just kids don't deserve. Kids don't need. Kids don't.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: What is wrong with these people?
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: I would say my understanding is. They didn't have anything
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: growing up. Their parents didn't do it, so they feel, hey,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: I'm going to do my kids that way. They have
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: to work for something.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: To me, at the end of the day, that makes
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: your kids resent you after growing up.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And it sets them up for failure.
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: All right, man. I appreciate the phone call. Thanks for calling, brother.
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: Later, man. Yep.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Why would you set your kids up for failure?
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7-0.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: My parents let us use a spare car to go
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to school. but if we graduated high school, they bought
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: us one.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: But you got the, you had a car to go
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: back and forth from.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: So that's nothing wrong with that.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But we've been talking about, you know, buying your kid
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: at 16, their first car. There's some clowns out there
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that keep texting me and telling me, no, you shouldn't
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: do it. A kid doesn't need a car. No, he
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: needs to buy it himself. Yeah. You're going to put
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a kid at 16 who wants a car in the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: hole and And possibly fail in his education because he
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: wants to work to have a car. Why would you
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: do that? Why wouldn't you make life a little easier
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: for your child? Why are you guys always trying? Well,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that's how I did it. Well, okay. I get it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Unfortunate for you. But don't do that to your kid.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Why don't you give him.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: The best chance to succeed?
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Hal.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: What's going on?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Hey, what up, man?
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: Hey, man. People that are talking bad about buying kids.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: That's the way I'm looking at.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It you might be right about that I don't really
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: know but just the idea I mean even if you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: let's say you can't afford a car for your kid
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: shouldn't you want to be able to afford one as
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: a good parent to go you know what I got
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a good kid man life is struggling for us but
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: you know what man I got to figure out something
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: or at least I want to not just try to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: make some justification to make yourself feel better that no
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: man they got to work for it like I did
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: well no I guess.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: Most definitely most definitely you know you got to show
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: the kids what the fire things in life are Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: That way they can keep working for them.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: All right, man. I appreciate the call. Thanks, brother.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: All right, 4254-727. Oh, this is this guy.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I don't care if he's on honor roll student row.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: At 16 years old, the school still provides a bus
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to get them from point A to point B and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: don't need to be driving anywhere at 16. Plus, if
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: they give him a car, who's going to pump gas
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: for him? Who's paying the insurance for him? Who's going
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to fix repairs if the car breaks down? A 16-year-old don't.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: need a car yeah you're just an idiot i i
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: i don't even i can't even fight stupidity i don't
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: even know how to deal with stupidity you know all
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that stuff here's the problem that you guys don't understand
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: okay you can take care of your kids at 16
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: 17 18 till they graduate college at 23 and still
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: teach them responsibility still teach them how to be a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: good person Teach him all of those things without putting him,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: without setting him up for failure. When should your kid
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: get a car then? So what you're saying is, well, 16,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a kid don't need a car, so we're just going
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to wait until he's, what, 18? And then now he
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do at all. He has no
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: idea how to take care of a car. He doesn't
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: know about insurance. He doesn't know about gas. He doesn't
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: know about maintenance. Because you're too pathetic of a parent
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to buy them a car and go through that process
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: with them?
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: You're talking about helping your kids out with money. Basically
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that first car.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: Good morning, how's it going on?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Romeo.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's happening?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: So when I was 16, I got a job like
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the day after my 16th birthday, right?
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And my mom was fortunate enough to have enough money
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: to buy me a car. So my mom bought me
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a white BMW. It was older, but it was a
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: nice BMW when I was 16 years old. And my
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: responsibility for the car was to pay her back. So monthly,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I paid her $ 300 for my car, but she bought
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: it cash. So I pretty much was just buying the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: car from her. That was like a big responsibility for
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: me when I was 16, but I was also really
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: grateful for it. And I feel like I would definitely
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: do the same thing for my daughter. Well, I have
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: a six-year-old, so I would definitely do the same thing
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: for my daughter. If I could.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: You know, give my daughter everything that my mom gave
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: me when I was younger, I would feel glad. I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: always say I want to be the.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But to be honest with you, your mom didn't give
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you a car. You paid for it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Well, she gave it to me because I only paid
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: for it for, like, a year.
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: And she.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But it was.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Also, I was like also responsible after that. Like I
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: paid for the car for about a year. And then
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: after that, I was kind of like, well, I'll just
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: pay like for the water bill or something. And my
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: mom was like, okay. So it was more so just
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to show me like the responsibility.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: See, yes, there, I understand that. But a lot of
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: these parents today are, are charging their kids these ridiculous
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: amounts for something that the kids really can't afford, and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: they're making them struggle, and that's not teaching them responsibility.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I agree. So, yeah, so your mom knew what she
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was doing. Your mom sounded like she was pretty smart.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom was just teaching me the responsibility. And
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: at first I was like, okay, well, I guess I'll
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: pay for it, you know? But then I also was like, girl,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I got my own car.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: I'm paying these bills.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: I got a job.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: And I also thought I was hot in high school,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you know? So I had a BMW. There ain't no
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: kid in high school who had a BMW.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, they all got them now.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: They all have them now.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: And I'm over here like, dang, they would have laughed
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: at my little BMW.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: You got Range Rovers and Mercedes.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I know, these kids today, that's funny.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: But I definitely would, I would give my daughter everything
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I could. Why would these parents want their kids to struggle?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Because they're stupid.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I don't understand it. I don't understand it. I would
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: rather my kid be like, my mom did everything for
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: us and taught me.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I'll explain to you why they do that. It's the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: same reason my mom did it. Because they had no
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: other choice. So what they do, but these parents now
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: is because they don't understand the fact that when they
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: were struggling growing up, it wasn't because your parents were
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: trying to teach you a lesson. It was because your
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: parents had simply no other option but to struggle. Okay?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: And people today are stupid. They think that that's the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: reason they turned out the way they are. It's not.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It's because your parents taught you to be a certain way.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: The fact that you had to struggle is not. It's
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: not the reason.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, my parents, they were together for most of
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: like my, up until I was like a teenager. And
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: then when I was in high school, they separated. So
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: my mom worked three jobs. My mom worked three jobs
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to take care of me and my siblings. And there
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: was five of us.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: And so my mom showed me like, you're going to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: have to either get it yourself or you're not going
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to have it at all.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Did any of the other siblings get a BMW?
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: No.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Uh, no. I'm the oldest of the siblings, and I'm
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: also the most responsible. And I grew up really, really fast. Like,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I was never a kid.
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, they didn't get BMWs, but, I mean, I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: taught them to be responsible young adults as well, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: so did my mom.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for calling. I appreciate it. Have a good day.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: You too.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: But that's the point. I mean, that's the reason why,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: you know, is because you out here, you think that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the struggle was why you turned out the way you
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: turned out. And it's not. It's because your parents taught
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you to be good people. Okay? You guys are over
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: here going, well, that kid's got to grow up. If
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: my kid's going to be a good person, he's got
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to grow up like I grew up. No, he doesn't. No,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: he doesn't. She doesn't. Okay?
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: Because times are different. It's not the same.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: You can't raise your kid based on how you were
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: raised because we don't live in the same times, and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you parents don't understand that. Good morning, Rome. Hey, I'm
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: buying your teenager a car. It depends. If you're raising
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a child that listens and is making the effort to
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: make the right decisions on his or her future, why
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: not help them out? And not just with a car,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: but with anything else they need to start off in life.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And also... in what you can afford as a parent. Yeah, that's,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I agree with, I mean, yeah, absolutely. Why wouldn't you
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: do that? Some people don't, the problem is, here's the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: real problem, is sometimes you meet these kids that really do,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: really are good kids. And they're in a situation where,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you know, they, you know, they're in a situation where
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: it's just, you know, their parents don't care about them.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I have met some really good kids over
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the years who their parents just seem to not care
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: at all, which is so strange. I just, I don't
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: get it. It's just really weird, you know? All right.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: All right, 8-4-2-5-4-7-7. But you're right, man. Do what you
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: can for your kids to, you know, to keep them straight.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: You know, help them out as much as you can,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: as much as you can afford, but don't disregard them.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Like you said, there's a lot of good kids I've
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: done seen trying to make it on their own, what
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: it appears to make it on their own, even though
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: they have parents that appear to be legitimate people. So
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to think about that. But, yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just, as it comes to the cars,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I think some of you moms and dads, you guys
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: are trying to teach your kids a lesson through finances, right?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: And I don't think that's where you need to teach
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: them the lesson. Teaching them to be good people, teaching
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: them to do the right thing, teaching them to work hard,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think you need to do that through money.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think just because, you know, we were having
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: this conversation over the weekend. My first car was like
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a 79 pickup, and it was not. It was kind
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: of a death trap. The brakes were suspect. The road
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: bar in front was crooked. I mean, it was a
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: suspect vehicle. It was a little 4x4, but it was suspect.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And you think that built character? No, I was already
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a good kid. Me and my friends were already good kids,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you know, but that was all all my mom could afford.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: You know, had my mom been able to afford more,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: my mom would have bought me a brand new car.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So it has nothing to do with the amount of
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: money you have, you give your kids has nothing to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: do with whether they turn out entitled or spoiled or
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: any of that. The way you raise them, you guys
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: blame it on that. I know a lot of you
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: will sit there and go, man, look at these kids,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: how spoiled and entitled they are. Okay. But their parents
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: were dumbasses and didn't teach them responsibility and to be humble.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: That's the parents' fault, not the kids' fault. And it
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: has nothing to do with money.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: All right, 8-4-2-5-4-7-7. Yo, Rome, my boss is renting out
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a room to his son. For a thousand bucks a month.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: That's just, that's embarrassing. I mean, that's the problem.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: You guys, that just, I hate to say it, but
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: it kind of shows how pathetic you parents are. You
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: want to teach your kids responsibility, accountability. You want to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: teach them how to be humble, how to be good people.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: You don't do it through money. It's just, you parents
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: are greedy. You parents are, You know, you lack the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: ability to teach your kids, you know. I mean, that's
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the lowest common denominator. Make them pay. Think that's what
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: they're doing. That's what's teaching them. It's like, you know
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: what it's like? It's like you guys getting mad at
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the schools for you not teaching your kids how to
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: be good people. You blame the schools for it. Oh,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: it's the teacher's fault. Oh, no, it's not.
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: It's your fault.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: You just passing the buck is all you're doing. Or
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you're just selfish and you want your kids to pay you.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It really is.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: They have plenty of time to figure out and how
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to make it in the world where they go rent
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: their own place or buy their own house or buy
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: insurance and car. You can teach them all that without
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: forcing them to do it when they don't have to.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: How about giving them a shot in life? They're going
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: to have to pay. That's a given. They're not going
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to be able to avoid that. But I will also
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: say this. To some extent, some of you jackasses are
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: making it worse for your kids because you're teaching them
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that money solves all their problems. That's a problem because
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: it's not money. Money will solve a lot of problems.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. But what you're teaching them is that, oh,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: if you just have money, you'll be fine. You can
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: just pay your way out of everything. How about teaching
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: them to be good people? to be humble, to be kind,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to be respectful. You do not do that by charging
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: your kid $ 1, 000 a month to rent out a room
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: in the house he grew up in. That's not how
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that works. Where's big boy when I need him? Big
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: boy got five kids, two of them successful, college graduates,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: living a good life, three more that are about to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: do the same thing. And big boy never forced them
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to pay anything. He takes care of the bill. Like
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: a good parent. Him and his wife handle it. Yeah.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: You guys just lazy, selfish parents, man. Good morning, Al.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: What's going on?
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: Big Rome. Boy. I just seen a Superman. I just
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: seen a Superman symbol in the sky. That means to
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: call you. What's going on, brother? I'm listening to your show, man.
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: It's pretty interesting.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Well, these people, man. I'm just tired of them laying
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the blame. Laying the blame on their kids for being
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: not good people when the reality is they didn't teach
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: them right.
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: Here's what I think. This is my opinion, man. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: feel that, you know, if you can't afford to help,
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: that's understandable.
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: But if you guys can't afford to help your kids
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: and you choose not to because, oh, nobody helped me
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: growing up, you know what I mean? That cycle of
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: life is going to continue throughout your family. You know
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: what I mean?
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: That's a good point.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: They're going to be miserable. You guys are not going
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: to be happy. Your families are going to be miserable.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't. You know how I am, bro. I'm big,
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: you know. I'm big on my kids, my family. I
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: try to help every time I can. I don't hold back, bro.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: But look, they're turning out to be great.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are. That's why I brought that up. Because
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: money is not what made them great, whether lack of
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: it or more of it. It's the response. It's what
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: you teach them.
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: That's right. It all starts in the home, man. The
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: parents are the guys. Yeah.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: Whatever you teach your kids morally is the way they're
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: going to pursue life.
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Period.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Money has nothing to do with it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: That's the way it is, man.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I mean, I was poor growing up.
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: My parents didn't have much.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: We were all poor growing up.
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: But they did what they could, and I was happy
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: for it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: I got a 13-year-old Toyota four-by-four.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: It was on his last leg, but hey, I drove
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: the hell out of it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: They gave it to me in high school. I didn't
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: have a license, so I don't do that. I don't
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: do that with my kids. My kids get their cars
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: the summer of their junior year going into their senior year.
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: That's when we buy their cars. You know what I mean?
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: I don't buy brand new cars. They're pre-certified.
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: Ha ha ha.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: Hey, but they're nice. You've seen the rides I've got
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: up there.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're nice cars. But they deserve it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: They've earned it, they deserve it, and I'm able to
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: do it.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: So why not?
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying, big boy. Parents need to understand.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: It's not... They think they're teaching their kids responsibility by
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: making them pay for something that the kids can't afford
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: when the reality is just teach them to be good
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: people and the money is irrelevant.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: Hey, well, my oldest... Even though.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I'm my oldest.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: You know what I mean? He's doing great.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: He paid me $ 500 a month rent for a whole
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: house by himself. Well. Who gets to do that? I
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: get $ 2, 500 a month for that house. But my boss
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: won't let me overcharge him.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: Exactly.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: But he's a good kid. But that's my point. See,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: big boy, some parents will be selfish and go, well,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: let me recoup that money from my kid now that
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: he can afford it, as opposed to going, look, man,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I don't need his money. But you make him pay
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a little something just to have some responsibility.
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: So they're doing good, man. I can't knock them. They're
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: all doing great.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah. Yeah. All right, big boy.
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: Later, brother.
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: All right, brother. You guys have a great day.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: But that's my point. My point is you parents want
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to pass the buck and sit there and go, well,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: I can't buy, I got to buy my kid the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: worst car ever because you know, that's what I got. Well, okay.
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: Times are different.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: First of all, when, when you got the worst car ever,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that's all they had. Okay. So it's not like, you know,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: you got to think about it, man. We, I was
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: having a, just having this conversation over the weekend too. Um,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: So when you got your car, it was a 70
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: or an 80 something. It was a 10 year old
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: car when you got your car was probably in the
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: 70s or was made in the 80s.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: A car, a 10 year old car today is 2000.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: What are we in 2016? It's different.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: Times are different. So and you parents got to stop, man.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Just teach your kids to be good, humble, respectful people.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Stop trying to use money to pretend like you're teaching
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: them some lesson because you're not. You're not helping them
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: at all. You're passing the blame to them. And you
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: think you're doing something. You're not. Talking about buying your
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: kid a car, right? The first car. And some of
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: you parents be going cheap, man. If you can afford it, man,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: take care of your kids. If you raise them right.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Stop trying to make money the reason that you think
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: that's going to make them a better human being. It's not.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Forcing them to pay for things that they can't afford,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: thinking you're teaching them a lesson, is not teaching them
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: a lesson.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: R-A-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Yo, Rome, you're not lying. My brother-in-law, his daughter just
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: graduated high school, and he wants to charge her $ 600
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: a month for her room and give her a 10
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: o'clock at night curfew. She's 18 and he makes her
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: pay her own car insurance and registration and cell phone
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: and my wife's parents did not do that with him
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: at all. They bought him everything and they let him
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: live at home until he was like 25. Well, now
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: he's just being a selfish, greedy dad. I mean, that's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: really all he's doing at this point. He's just being
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: a pathetic father at this point. I mean, that's horrible
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to do to your kids. Why do you want to put...
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: What do you think you're teaching your kids by putting
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: them behind the eight ball and forcing them to pay
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: for things they can't afford yet? They're not there.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: They're not... It's just ridiculous what you parents do. I mean,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: that fool... What's he teaching his daughter? To be broke?
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: He's not helping her out at all in life. By
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: doing all of that, if he's doing that and he
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: can afford to not do that to his daughter, all
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you're teaching your daughter is to be broke. You're not
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: teaching her anything. You're teaching her that she's got to
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: struggle to get by at an age when she ain't
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: there yet. She ain't figured it out. And she shouldn't
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: figure it out. She's 18 years old. My God. She's
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: got a few years to get straight, and you're not
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: even helping her. That's just sad, man. It's just pathetic
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: that parents do that. I mean, Big Bo was right
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: when he said, you know, when you... When you.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Big Boy's right. You know, if you can't help as
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: much as you can, but don't make it worse for them.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Money is not how you teach kids to be good people.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Money is not the way to teach them. Struggling is
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: not the way to teach them if you don't have to.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Parents back in the day didn't like Big Boy. Big
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Boy's parents didn't do that. Didn't didn't teach.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Him to struggle on purpose. They had no choice.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: But if you have a choice, man, just teach them.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Step up as a parent. Teach them morals and ethics
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and respect and all of those things that you think
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: charging her $ 600 a month for rent is doing. It's not.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: All right, what'd you send me here? Hey, Rome, helping
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the kids with the first car is okay. Just let
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it be a cheap one and help pay it off.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: A person must learn responsibility and care about their car. Well,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: what you're saying is wrong. You're right. No, you're right.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: They should learn responsibility and care about their car, but
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: whether they pay for it or not is not how
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: they learn the responsibility and care about their car. I'm
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: just going to use your example, your text as a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: specific example, okay? Kids are going to treat their stuff,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: their items, they're not going to treat them any differently
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: because they're paying for them or not. They're going to
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: treat their stuff the way that you teach them to
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: treat their stuff. You guys believe that because they didn't
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: pay for it, that they're going to treat it less.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: They're not going to take care of it. And that's
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: not the case. They're going to take care of their
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: things the way you treat them to take care of
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: their things. The way you show them how to take
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: care of something. It doesn't matter whether they've paid for
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: it or you paid for it. What it matters is
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: how you have taught them to take care of their items,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: their personal stuff, their whatever, okay? I have a friend
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: who has, who you go to his house, and he's
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: an ex-military guy, very responsible man.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: He makes his kids clean.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: He makes his kids keep their rooms clean, tight, you know,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: because of his, you know, military service. He doesn't let
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: them slack off on things like that. That's him teaching
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: his children how to take responsibility for their stuff and
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: other people's stuff. Now, whether his kids buy it or
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: he buys it, they're still going to take responsibility because
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: that's how they were taught. They're going to take care
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: because that's how they were taught. And that's how they
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: do it right now.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: That's how they are.
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: But it's based on what they're taught, not because they
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: bought it or he bought it. The guy said, oh,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the guy who texted, he said, helping with the first
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: car is okay. Just let it be a cheap one
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: and help pay it off. A person must learn responsibility
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and care about their car. And I told them, yes,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: you're right, but they'll treat it how you teach them
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: to treat it. And that's what this person said. That's true, Rome.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I retract my statement. They will treat it how you
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: teach them to treat items growing up, and that's what
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I mean. You guys will sit there and go, let
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: me be very clear. There's a guy that texted earlier
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: and said that his daughter, his friend's daughter, or somebody's
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: daughter in his life, not his, the dad is charging
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: her $ 600. She just graduated high school, and he's charging
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: $ 600 to live in the same room that she's lived
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: in Her whole life, right? How is charging her that
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: $ 600 going to change how she treats that room? It's not.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: She's going to treat that room how she was taught
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: to treat it. And you parents are, I don't know
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: if you're stupid. I don't know if you're selfish. I
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: don't know if you think that's the way to teach
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: responsibility by charging her, but it's not. Some of the
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: worst kids in the world are rich kids who are
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: entitled little jackasses because their parents just threw money at
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: them Instead of actually raising them. And you guys know
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Those buy their way out of everything.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with money. And the problem is
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of you, a lot of you parents out there,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: for some reason you think the way you teach responsibility
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: is to make your kids pay for something that they
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: can't afford. And make life harder for them. That's, one
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: of the dumbest things I've ever heard. And I don't know.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I don't understand how you can
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: be that ignorant about the situation. Now, some of you
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: can't afford it. I get it.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: Some people can't afford it. So, hey, you got to
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: do what you got to do.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I get it. But even then, once your kid turns
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: 18 to start charging them is ridiculous. Good morning, Hot.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: Hey, Romeo, I agree with you.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Charging them is crazy.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. I mean, what has changed between the senior
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: year of high school to the day that they graduate
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: that you all of a sudden go.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I'd like to know.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: It's not teaching them anything.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: It's not?
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: It's teaching them that you're being greedy because....
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: You know, with spending money on rent.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Like, my daughter just moved out.
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: She's 24.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: She's had two jobs since she was 16.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: She saved up enough to buy her a home.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I provided what she needed.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: She had to buy what she wanted. Okay. I like that.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: I like that idea. I like that.
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: And she's 24, just bought her first home.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Like I said, she's been working since she was 16.
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: Two jobs.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: And at 16, she had.
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: Her own home, three-bedroom home.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Well, that's nice.
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: She lived in Oklahoma.
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, no, charging them is not teaching them anything.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: If anything, it's just going to show that the parent is, like,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: a money hungry.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think that that's not teaching them anywhere, but
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: you put them home.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, unless we're missing something, but okay. All right,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Hey, if you find out what we're missing, let me know.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: I will.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for calling.
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: What are you missing? If you were paying for that
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: home already and your child was living there rent-free until
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: they graduated high school, what has changed the day they
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: graduate high school that you now have to charge them?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: It's because you think you're teaching them something. You're not.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: You could teach kids responsibility and money at any given time.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Throwing them to the wolves is not the way to
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: teach them. That's just bad parenting. Arnie4254, 7 to 7. Yeah.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Let me see what Big Boy sent me real quick about...
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: treating their things. He said, yo, Rome, you're 100%. Their
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: first car doesn't have to be cheap or new. It
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: just has to be something you guys can afford. Exactly.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: And they will treat it and take care of it
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: and care for it in the way that you taught
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: them to care for their things.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Wow, Rome.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: What do you got here? Let's see what we got here. Hey,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: good morning, Rome. Just wanted to let you know that
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: you're 100% right. My kids are taught to respect and
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: take care of their items. It doesn't matter the cost.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: It also doesn't matter who pays for it. If it's
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: something they wanted, then respect it and take care of it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: We have nieces and nephews that will come over and
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: destroy the Dollar Tree item, and my kids will be
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: so upset that it was damaged because my kids are
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: taught to take care of their things.
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: You're right.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: You parents are just trying to blame us your children
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: are blamed the fact that they are not responsible, good,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: humble people on money. And that's not the way you
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: teach them. What do you got here?
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: That's too much. We charge our son just the Internet
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: bill because he raised the Internet power or something. He
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: made it stronger because he's a gamer and he got
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: a cell phone. So he pays for his cell phone line,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: but that's all. We charge him. We want him to
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: succeed in life, not be in debt. Well, yeah, and
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: a cell phone bill and an internet bill is not
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: going to put your kid in debt. But you fools
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: are putting these kids in debt. For what reason? You know?
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I know parents right now A couple of parents, friends
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: of mine, they make some decent money, but they got
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: kids in college, and they're over here paying, you know,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: instead of just taking that money and letting them kids
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: figure it out. Like, these kids could be taking out
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: college loans, their kids, but these parents are going, no,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: we got to figure it out so that kid doesn't
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: have a college loan when he graduates. So they're not struggling,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: but money's tighter than it has to be. I mean,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: they could be in Mexico every weekend, but they're trying
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: to make it work, spending that cash, so that their
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: kids don't have a college debt. Those are parents trying
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: to set their kids up for life, not trying to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: bring them down. Oh, this guy sent me a text
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: message saying his boss is renting out a room to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: his son for $ 1, 000.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: Hey, Rome.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: What did the parents do with the money that they
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: charged for rent? That's a good question. I mean, no idea.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I guess help improve their lives. I mean, the only
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: thing that you're doing when you charge your child for
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: something that's tough for them to afford is, I guess,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: better your life.
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: Off your kids' backs?
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: You're not teaching them responsibility.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: You can teach your kids responsibility without charging them anything.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Or you can teach them responsibility like a cell phone bill.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: What is a cell phone bill? $ 35 a month? That
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: can teach them just as much responsibility as $ 1, 000 a
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: month for a room. So I don't know. That is
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: a very good question. Hey, Rome, it's like that song says,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: spit What?
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Okay. I mean, it makes no sense, okay? And I
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: just don't know why you people do that, why you
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: do that to your kids. I mean, you're not doing
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: them any justice by putting them behind the eight ball,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: putting them in debt before they even get a chance
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: at life. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 42:08
  Speaker 8: What do you got here?
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, Rome, if anyone disagrees with you, they're not the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: smartest person. Well, they're not because I'm right. I mean,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: it's just about, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Yo, Rome,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I teach my kids to take care of their stuff.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: For example, their services on their car, brakes, changes, alternator battery,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: the basics. Not only is it beneficial for life, But
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: your woman in the future is going to love that also.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: But their mom teaches them just to take it to
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: your dad and he will fix it. Well, when I
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: tell them I won't fix it, but we will, now
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I'm a punk dad cuz.
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: I don't want to help my kid.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: In his defense, he says he doesn't want to do
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: it because he doesn't like to do it.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Well, damn.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: If life was that easy to avoid, uh, get your
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: butt down there. Listen, uh, get your butt down there. Listen, that, uh, uh,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: loosen or listen, loosen that bolt and change that oil
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: boy or you and your mom take it somewhere else
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: and pay for those services. Wait, what are we talking about? Wait,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: I'm a little confused here. Um, Hold on, let me
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: try to break down what this guy's saying here. Oh,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: they bring it to you because you're the dad. I
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: get what you're saying. And mom, oh, you want them
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: to do it, basic stuff on their car, but mom
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: just says take it to dad. Well, let me give
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: you an example of the way I think you should
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: handle that. Mom says take it to dad, okay? Okay.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: You know what you should do as a father is
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: because you want them to be able to do it themselves, right?
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: So if mom says take it to dad, what they
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: need to do is take it to you and you
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: either supervise or you do it together. And that's how
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: you do that, you know. And now you're teaching them
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: how to do it themselves. So when dad's not there
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: for them to take it to, then they can do it.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: When mom says, take it to dad, you go, dad's dead,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I can't. Well, then I know how to do it now.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: But the problem also is, let me ask you guys
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: a question. All you moms and dads out there, How
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: much more responsible are you at 30 than you were
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: at 18? How much more responsible are you at 40
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: than you were at 20? The point being is, if
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: somebody says, take it to your dad, if somebody tells
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: a 19-year-old kid who doesn't, like you said, brakes, whatever, battery, whatever,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: the basics, right? And the 19-year-old kid goes to mom
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: and says, mom, I need this stuff done. And mom says,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: take it to dad. He's 19 years old. As the dad,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: you should be doing it with him and teaching him
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: how to do it himself because he's 19. At 30,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: he's going to be just like you. I'll do it
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: myself or I'll do what it takes, okay? That's what
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I say. That's why I say you parents are lazy.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: And you're not teaching them anything by telling him mom
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: and him by, by you saying, well, him and mom
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: can just take it to somebody and have it done
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: and pay for it, which I also don't have a
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: problem with. If you could afford for, if you can
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: afford to have somebody else do it, then that's fine also.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: But what kind of responsibility does that teach you?
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: You know, All right, we got here.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, Rome, the only valid reason I've seen for charging
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: rent was the parents saved that same money and later
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: return it when they were ready to move out on
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: their own without them knowing they were getting the money. Well, here,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: and there's a problem with that. Here's the problem with that.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: You're not teaching your kid to be responsible with saving
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: their own money. Okay. You're responsible as a parent. I
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: understand that you're going, okay, I'm going to take, this
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: is going to be great. I'm going to save my
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: kids money for him or her so that they have it.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: So what, how are you teaching them to save their
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: own money? What is that teaching them? That's not teaching
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: them to be responsible enough on their own to save
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: enough for what they want to buy, such as a house,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: a car, whatever the case may be. You're not teaching
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: them anything. Because they don't know it, you know? And
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: I agree that's a good thing. I understand that what
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: you think that is is a great thing, okay? You're
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: not taking your kids' money because you're giving it back
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: to them, hopefully in a lump sum where they can
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: use it for a huge purchase, maybe a car or
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: a house or whatever the case may be. But you're
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: not teaching them how to save money themselves. That's my point.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: You guys want to use money to think you're teaching
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: your kids all these life lessons, but you're not. Money
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: is not how you teach them life lessons or how
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: to be responsible or how to be good people or
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: how to be humble and kind and respectful and all
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: of it, take care of their stuff. You guys think
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: money is the way to do that. It's not.
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: You have to actually parent.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Just like the guy who texted a few minutes ago
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: and said his kids don't want to do this. Help
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: do some basic stuff on their car. So they just
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: call mom. Mom says, take it to dad. Okay. It's
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: okay for mom to say, take it to dad. But
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: dad needs to sit there with them. Dad needs to sit,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: needs to do the work with the kid. That's how
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: you teach them responsibility. By doing it with them. Or
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: showing him how to do it every time he wants it.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Every time mom says, take it to dad, dad needs
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: to go, all right, pull the car in the garage.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Let's do it. Or whatever the case may be. Okay?
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: That's how you teach them. Not charge them. Oh, hey, Rome.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: What time is it? Oh, I don't know.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: 643.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, Rome. Hey, who do the Seahawks play today? Oh,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: there is a game. The NFL starts today. The NFL
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: season starts today on a Wednesday. It usually starts on
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: a Thursday. But, yeah, they play the Patriots. It's a rematch.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Was that the Super Bowl last year? I can't even
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: remember what last year was like now. So you got
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: the Patriots and the Seahawks playing tonight.
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the NFL season kicks off game one tonight. I
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: think it's on NBC, ABC, NBC? I'm not totally sure.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Can't remember now. I think it's NBC. I think they're
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: calling it Sunday Night Football, so it's NBC. All righty, four, two, five, four,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: seven to seven. You guys ready for football, man? I
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: will say this. I don't care about preseason. I don't
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: care about all the draft. I don't give a damn
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: about all that. But I did watch some real college
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: football over the weekend. And I got to say, I.
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: Think I'm kind of excited. I'm going to watch the
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: game tonight.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: I'm ready. Oh, I will tell you, if you guys
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: haven't been to Just Wing It lately, they have these screens.
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: They're new screens.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: They're wall-to-wall. They're absolutely incredible. They're not projection-y. Yeah, they're
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: not projection. They're insane how big. It's almost like the
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: whole wall is a screen. It's incredible. If you haven't
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: checked that out yet.
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: But, yeah.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: You guys ready for some football?
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I wonder what Seahawk Lou's going to burn tonight for
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: the game. What would you send me here? Yo, Rome,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: you have a new Raiders song? I do have a
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: new Raiders song. It's actually, yeah, I finished it a
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Oh, yeah, we were going to
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: play it the first game of the season, huh? Yeah,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: we'll play it in just a minute here. I do
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: have a new Raiders song, yes. And let me have
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: a cup of coffee, warm up my vocal cords. Maybe
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: I'll do it live. All right. Football season, though. Football
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: season does begin today. It is first game of the season.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: You got the Seattle Seahawks, the New England Patriots. I
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: have no idea who's going to win. I don't pay
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: attention to preseason or any of the who drafted who
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: or who's what and what's what. So I just wait
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: until the season starts and then see how it all
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: plays out. See who's hurt, see who's not hurt, see
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: who's playing well, see who's not. So we'll see, right?
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I do got a new Raiders song. We'll
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: hit it off here in just a couple of minutes. Hey, Rome.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Romeo. You can't sing the Faders probation nation
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: song yet. Wait till next Monday. It'll be more fitting,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: especially after they lose. Well, it's football season. Football season,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: start of football season. I don't even know who the
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Raiders play this week. I haven't even looked at the schedule. Hey, Rome.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: It's CeeLo Lewis having an NFL opening day party, and
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: he will barbecue in for 20 people. So he's barbecuing
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: for 20 people, 20 disappointed people. If I was going
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: to go to Seahawks lose for a barbecue tonight for
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: the Seattle game, I would eat first because you know
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: that meat's going to be burnt. And you know what?
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Seahawk Lou kind of reminds me of a guy who
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: over-seasons his meat because he knows he's going to burn
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: it to try to save it. Yo, Rome, this is
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Seahawk Lou.
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: I wanted to express my support for the Seahawks.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see them become back-to-back Super Bowl champions. Lou,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: did you really buy a replica of the Super Bowl trophy?
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: What is it? The Lam.
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: The Lombardi Trophy?
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: I would be amazed if the Seahawks win tonight, let
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: alone win the Super Bowl again. But maybe. I guess.
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, maybe.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks are going to have a tough
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: time this year with the Rams. But we'll see what happens.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Lou might be right. He was right last year, right?
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: But then again, Lou's been saying that the Seahawks are
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: going to win the Super Bowl for the last 15 years.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: So how'd that work out for him? Um, so what
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: are you going to burn tonight, Lou? Oh, Lou sent
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: me another text message. Hey, Rome. Also, Rome, I'm hosting
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: a big barbecue today for game day. You're welcome to
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: come by, come over to my garage and watch the
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Seahawks win together. Well, Lou, I appreciate that. Where's Lou live? Wasco? Yeah, no,
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: I actually want to have a good dinner tonight, Lou.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Not whatever you're burning on the barbecue. Okay.
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate the invite, Lou. Hey, good morning, Rome.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: That guy played. What happened? What did you send me?
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Romeo. That guy played today. I want to
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: hear it. Oh, you want to hear the Raiders song.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I haven't played the new Raiders song yet. I haven't
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: did it yet.
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Al.
• 54:13
  Speaker 7: What's going on?
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: What's up, Rome?
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: Seahawk Lou, man.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Now you're calling and texting? What the hell, Lou?
• 54:21
  Speaker 8: I just want everybody to know. I want to say it,
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: and I just text it. We are going back-to-back. We
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: are Super Bowl champs going back-to-back.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Who's the last team that won back-to-back? The Chiefs?
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: I think it was the Chiefs.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: It's possible.
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: It's possible.
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: It's doable.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: And you're invited to Rome. I'm going to have quite
• 54:44
  Speaker 8: a bit of people, man, surprisingly on Wednesday.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't. Your barbecue does not look good, Lou.
• 54:53
  Speaker 10: Come on, Ron.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: It could only get better. I can't drive all the
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: way to Wasco to have bad food.
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: What if you cook your own meat, the one you're
• 55:03
  Speaker 8: going to eat, and then I'll take over after?
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll see what happens today.
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: We'll work it out, man. We'll work it out. You
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: know what I mean?
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: All right, Jerome. Oh, have you ever had to do
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: that before? I've had to do that before. Go to
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: somebody's house that you know can't grill, so you just
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: make your own. Yeah, you just grill it yourself. Yeah.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, are the Seahawks going to go back
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: to back? According to Lou. Oh, Seahawk Lou's having a
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: big barbecue today. For those of you that know him, apparently.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: For those of you that know him, he's invited a
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: bunch of people over to barbecue at his house. Because
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: opening day of the NFL is today and you got
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and the Patriots going at it. So
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: did anybody not get invited to Seahawks lose that he
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't know? Maybe we're I hope not. I hope nobody
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: in Wasco is listening right now and Seahawks didn't invite you.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: And it hurts your feelings because nobody likes to not
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: get invited to things.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Except me. I'm glad when people don't invite me. Hey, Rome,
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. All them 20 people going to
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: go to Lou's Barbecue should eat at home before going
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: over there. Yeah, absolutely. Seahawk Lou, I don't know why
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: he believes he knows how to barbecue. He burns everything.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, the guy burns everything. He is Cajun style
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: to the point where you got to put sauce on
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: it just so it'll go down. So, yeah, you guys,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: if you're one of the 20 people going to lose
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: tonight for the game, eat first. And if you're one
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: of the people that didn't get invited, be happy you
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: didn't get invited. Hey, Rome, you going to be at
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Village Fest this weekend? You know what? I don't know
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: if I'm going to be at Village Fest this weekend. Yeah,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't really decided. I know it's
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: going to be pretty fun, though. I know there's a...
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: I think Hot 94.1 is going to have a stage
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: or something like that. Some of the things I heard.
• 57:17
  Speaker 7: But I'm not totally sure yet.
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: Maybe.
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: You got tickets? Because I ain't got none. Hey, Rome.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Top of the AM. I'm still waiting on the first
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: letter of the day, my brother.
• 57:31
  Speaker 8: Um.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: This is Slick. All right, all right. Oh, yeah, you're
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: doing the contest. What are the letters for? Letters are
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: to win something. Yeah, all right. Hey, what up, Rome? Hey,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: what's up, Rome? Wasco resident here. Well, I'll be there
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: at Siak Lu's Barbecue making sure. Take my Pepto Bismol
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: with me just to be safe. What I want is
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: how Siak Lu got the local supermarket to sponsor him.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: From what I understand, Seahawks lose a celebrity in Wasco.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: He might be the mayor of Wasco. They gave him
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: the key to the city. I heard Seahawks lose big time. Hey, Rome,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: who you got winning the game tonight? I don't know.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Probably the Seahawks. I really don't know. I haven't paid attention.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: You guys know I don't pay attention to preseason, so
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Seahawks, Patriots, Pats. I was going to
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: say the Pats, the Patriots. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Already 4-2, 5-4, 7-7. Good morning, Romeo. Hey, oh, that
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: time of year. You could smell it in the air.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Desperate Raider fans speaking. They are Super Bowl bound. Hands
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: to cowgirls thinking the same. And right behind them, a
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: van full of bandwagon fans in red jerseys thinking this
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: is their year. even though harsh reality tell you that
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: it's been 30 years since the, uh, they've won. Let
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: the fun begin. Well, I mean, there's no reason anything's
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: going to be different this year for the Cowboys or
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: the Niners, right? I mean, or the Raiders. I bet
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: the Raiders don't win four games. I mean, my gosh.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't even look at the schedule. I was going
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: to look at the schedule. Usually football starts on Friday.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, it starts on Thursday. So I don't really
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: pay much attention to Wednesday's kind of a new thing.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Let's see. We talk about the schedule on Friday. But
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: you've got Seattle and New England tonight. Tomorrow you've got
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles and San Francisco. I guess we're going to
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: find out who's who tomorrow night. Oh, the Raiders got
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: to play Miami. Does Miami even have a football team?
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: Who's their quarterback?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know Miami still had a football team.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: Game one, they might win the first week. They might win.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Then now Monday night, you got the Chiefs in Kansas.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: You got Kansas City and Denver.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: That'll be interesting to see what's going on.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 6: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 9: What's up, Romeo? Good morning.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 8: What up, brother?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: Hey, quick question, brother. Do you still do the football
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 9: play that you.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: Used to do?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. I don't do that no more.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 9: That was pretty fun, man.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's too hard for me to manage. That
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: just takes up too much time for me. Right on.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: And I got my Raiders winning about seven games, man.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Seven games.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 10: At least.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: At least seven games. Hold on. Let me see real quick.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 8: That's not counting the division, of course, because I was.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, if we go 0-6 against them, we'll at
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: least win six games.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: You might beat the Dolphins. You're not beating the Chargers.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. I can't even tell
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: you the Saints. The Chiefs is always going to split
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 8: Dolphins, Saints, Jets, Browns, Titans.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: And there's one more in there.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, you might be right. Cardinals.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: You might be right.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: Maybe.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: Give us some credit here, man. But, hey, again, it's
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 9: the Raiders, man.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, last place in the division is still good. All right.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: What did you text me here? You said, hey, good morning, Romeo.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: September 1st is the start of holiday season. Christmas decorations
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: already out. Bring out those Raider Christmas songs, too. Let's
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: get an encore. I don't know about all that. Hey,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: good morning, Rome.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: It's Gilrod.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Love the new Raiders song. Okay.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 7: Rome stole my coworkers.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: What? Took him three and a half hours to realize
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: it was missing. Can someone spell fraud? Hashtag Raider Dave
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: might have saved the company thousands. I don't know what
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Raider Dave is talking about. Hey, Rome, it's CeeLo. Do
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: you think Lou can get better in barbecuing by the
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: end of the NFL season this year? Yeah, I don't
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: see why not. Why can't Lou become a better barbecuer?
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 7: I'm sure he can handle it.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. I mean, he just has to practice.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: The problem is Lou likes it burnt. That's the problem,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: you know? So everybody else has to eat it burnt.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: It's been a while since we've gotten into the housing
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: market and what's going on in Bakersfield with housing, whether
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know what interest rates are at right now,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: and I don't know how many houses are on the
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: market or what's available, what you guys are looking for.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: I was actually just talking to a guy, though, on,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: when was it, Saturday night? He's been trying to buy
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: a house for years, and he finally got into one.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: He was so excited. That's why we bring Marco in.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Marco.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 5: Good morning. How are you doing, Roman?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: I'm doing fabulous. How are you?
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: I'm good, man. Thank you for having me.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Marco's from Selling Bakersfield and about 19 other different companies
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: he's got going.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: So....
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 10: Not 19.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Where do you want to start at? Where do you
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: want to start?
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 10: You know, it's interesting because we're going to start from
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 10: the beginning. When I started coming on your show many
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 10: years ago.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, short sales.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: Many moons ago... Yeah. We were talking about short sales, right?
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 10: Because the crash had just happened in 2007. Everybody knows
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 10: what happened in 2008. Yeah. And then, you know, people
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 10: just were losing homes left and right. They didn't know
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 10: what to do. Banks were foreclosing. That's not where we're
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 10: at today, Romeo. So don't get it wrong. But we
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 10: are seeing more distressed homes on the market.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: When you mean distressed, you mean people... Pre-foreclosures.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 10: We're seeing a lot more pre-foreclosures, notices of defaults going out,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 10: people not making their mortgage payments. And there are notices
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 10: of trustee sales. In other words, there's going to be
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 10: houses selling in the auction downtown. So that's what I
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 10: mean by distressed.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 5: I think– I don't know why. I don't know if
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 5: it's because people got themselves in over their heads after
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: COVID or whatnot. The market slowed down. Okay. Interest rates
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 5: went up.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 10: It's harder to sell your house in today's market than
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 10: it was two years ago.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Why is it harder to sell today? Because of interest rates?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody I talk to says, I can't sell
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: because my interest rate is too good. And if I
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: sell and go buy again, I'll have a higher interest rate.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: Well, those are the people that bought a long time ago.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 10: Those are the people that bought in the threes and fours. But,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 10: you know, we're talking about people that bought... Just, I
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 10: don't know, maybe a couple years ago, and the market
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 10: was just booming, and now it's not.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Has housing prices dropped?
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 10: Housing prices have not necessarily dropped, but it's not a
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 10: seller's market like it was because of wars, because of
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 10: interest rates.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know what's going on out there.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: There's a lot going on. Prices are going up. California's
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: tough to live in nowadays. If you're not already in
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: a house, it makes it tough to live in. But now,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: guess what? So what are we going to do about it?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 10: Well, so people may have equity and not know it, okay?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 10: And the reason I say that is because even though
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 10: it's harder to sell a house right now, the houses
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 10: are still selling.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 10: But you have to make sure that the condition of
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 10: your house is not, you know, it can't be, you know,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 10: the old white countertops and the old golden cabinets.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: A lot of people don't have the money to.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Up Oh, so when they look, they want to just
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: come in and they want it done up the way that.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: Those houses are selling.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 10: They're selling. When you upgrade your house, you remodel your house,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 10: they're selling. So that's what we want to talk about
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 10: today is if you don't have the money to remodel
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 10: your house, what can we do?
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: So we're not necessarily... Some of these people who have
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: equity in their homes, if they can get it, ready
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: and sold before foreclosure is that what we're trying to
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: do yes okay.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 10: Or you know maybe they have some equity and they
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 10: don't but the house isn't moving because the condition of
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 10: the house is not where it needs to be or
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 10: maybe they don't have equity and that's where we do
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 10: talk about short sales if they don't have equity and
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 10: they're upside down that's what you call upside down right
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 10: so you owe let's just say you owe a hundred
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 10: thousand dollars but your house is only worth eighty thousand
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 10: dollars you're upside down twenty thousand dollars right And so
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 10: that's where you would talk about short sales.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: So we can talk about all of it.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Well, give out your phone number.
• 1:06:37

  Speaker 1: cash in hand.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 9: Correct.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Just so you're out of it, you could do it
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: yourself so that you can actually make some money off
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: it yourself, right? Is that what you're trying to do?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: Trying to help people with.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 5: We're going to help people flip their own houses instead
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 5: of selling it to an investor.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: And then he low balls you and you and you you.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 10: Get less than what it's worth because you don't have
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 10: the money to fix it up and sell it yourself.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 10: We're going to help you fix it. and sell it
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 10: and maximize the equity that you have.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: All right, Marco's here from Selling Bakersfield. We're going to
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit about all of it. Marco's from
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Selling Bakersfield. Good morning, Marco. Good morning. Okay, so distressed housing.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: This is one of the things that I hadn't heard
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: of in a while. When you say distressed, people might
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: be in a position where they can't make their mortgage payments.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: For whatever reason. I don't know what that reason is.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: Have the values of homes dropped in Bakersfield?
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: They have not.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: They have not.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: So one of the things that you want to talk
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: about is how we can– or how you can help
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: these people get out.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 7: Of their homes before it affects what?
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: Well, before the bank forecloses on them. Okay.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 10: There's a lot of options now. Back in the– after
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: the crash, 2007, 2008– First.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: Of all, that was 20 years ago. Nobody remembers that.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 10: There wasn't a lot of options because people were just
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 10: way upside down. Everybody was losing their homes at the
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 10: same time, right?
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 10: Well, that's not what's happening, but we do want to
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 10: talk about it because it is happening to some people.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: To some people.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: You've received a notice of default. That's the first thing
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: you'll get.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 10: When you miss your payments after like two or three payments,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 10: the bank will send you a.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: Notice of default.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: That's how long it takes, two or three?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: Two or three months, yeah.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 10: And then that notice of default is basically saying, hey,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 10: you've missed your payments. We're going to start foreclosure process
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 10: here if you don't catch up.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, if you don't catch up.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 10: And so then if you don't catch up, then they
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 10: start the foreclosure process.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 7: So let me ask you this.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: Now you have a website called flipyourhouses.com to help people.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: How long does the process take if you– let's say
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: you've gotten that notice.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 7: That you're talking about.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm going, okay, I hear Marco on the radio.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: I got to call him today. I got the notice.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 7: Last week, two weeks ago.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: And how long, is that enough time for somebody to
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: do what they need to do to get out of
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: their house before it's foreclosed on?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 10: As long as you don't have a notice of sale,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 10: that's a different notice. That's a trustee sale, right? Notice
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 10: of trustee sale. That means that there's already a date
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 10: where your bank is going to sell your house in
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 10: the auction. As long as you don't have that, but
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 10: time is of the essence because every month that passes,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 10: the bank is getting closer to that.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Now, the banks don't have a set schedule when they
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: do this, right? The banks, I mean, there's no saying, oh, well,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: we're going to do this in 30 more days or
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: 40 more. They just kind of, whenever the paperwork lands
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: on somebody's desk and whatever, they take a couple of
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: days off work and it doesn't get done. They're not in, right?
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: If I understand correctly.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 10: It's you could pretty much bank on, hey, within, you know,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 10: within this period of time, your house is going to
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 10: go into auction.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 5: Sometimes they'll drop the ball and it's a little longer.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 5: Whatever. But, you know, time is of the essence. And
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 5: guess what?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 10: Every month that passes, there's more fees being tacked on
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 10: to your default. And so it's going to be harder
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 10: to get your equity out. So you do want to
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 10: move fast. You don't want to be like, oh, you know,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: I'm going to let time go.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 5: By and see what happens.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 10: Nothing good is going to happen if you let time lapse, right?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Real quick about short sales. If you've already got the
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: date that your house is going to be sold, whatever
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: that notice is, can you still short sell it to
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: stop it all?
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 10: We can stop it, yeah. We have to move fast,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 10: but we can start talking to the bank. And then,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 10: you know, there's also bankruptcy.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 5: That stops. a a trustee sale.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 10: Okay so if you need to file bankruptcy and and
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 10: that that can help also stop the trustee sale so
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 10: there's ways to do it we we just you know
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 10: like i said you don't want to wait on this
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 10: if you already if you're already a couple months behind
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 10: yeah you know we we want.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: To move so basically if you're listening right now and
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: you've having some problems with your mortgage payments then you
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: probably should call marco today and just get the process
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: and figure out where you are what can be done,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: and what is the best option for you.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes the best option. All right, Marco's here. Selling Bakersfield.

  Speaker 1: care about these people.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I've been there.

  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Now I watch them flipping Aloha, Aloha flipping, whatever it is.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 10: And so, you know, everybody dreams of flipping a house,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: but let's be honest, a lot of people don't have
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 10: the cash to do it.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: And so, you know, they just kind of watch these
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 5: shows or whatever.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 10: And so investors come in to cities like Bakersfield, a
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 10: lot of times they're out of town investors. And then
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 10: They buy homes that are in distress, people that can't
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 10: afford to make their mortgage payment or whatever, and then
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 10: they turn around, they flip, and they make a profit.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 10: What we are going to do is we're going to–
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 10: it's just like the website says, flip your houses. We're
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 10: going to help you flip your houses. How do you
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 10: do that? Let's just say you have a house. You
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 10: want to sell it, but it's not in good condition.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 10: It needs a lot of work, and you don't have
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 10: the money to fix it.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 10: Well, what's going to happen is if you put it
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 10: on the market in that condition, two things are going
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 10: to happen. Number one, it's going to sit there for
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 10: a little bit because it's not very attractive unless an
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 10: investor comes in, which is the second thing that can happen,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 10: and they lowball you. So let's just say your house
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 10: is worth $ 250, 000. They're going to say, oh, you know what?
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 10: It needs a lot of work. I'm going to give
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 10: you $ 200, 000 cash.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 5: Well, now you just lost some equity there, right?
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: Sure, sure, sure.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 10: What we're going to do is we're going to help
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 10: you to remodel your house, to upgrade it, to put
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 10: the money where it counts so that that house that
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 10: maybe is worth, you know, once it's fixed up could
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 10: be worth 350.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 5: You never know, right?
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 10: Obviously, the numbers have to make sense. So you take
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 10: advantage of two things. You're able to upgrade your house
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 10: so that you can sell your house faster and sell
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 10: it for max profit.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: Now, when you do that, obviously, you have a contractor
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: come in, do all the work, and they're going to
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: get their money from the sale of the house, right?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 10: Correct.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: So whatever that costs, then the homeowner walks away with
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: whatever profit is left after all that.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 10: So the contractor comes in, and they basically pay for
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 10: the repairs, the upgrades. Obviously, they're not going to do
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 10: anything that's unnecessary, right? They're going to put the money
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 10: where it counts, where it's going to– they're going to
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 10: bring a designer. They're going to say, okay, this is
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 10: where this house is right now. If we do this
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 10: to it, it could be worth this much. And so
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 10: the homeowner doesn't pay anything out of pocket. The contractor
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 10: carries that cost. And then if the profit is worth
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 10: it for both the seller and the contractor, then they
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 10: split that profit.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying. You get what I'm saying? Okay.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 10: So, yeah, the contractor has to get paid their money
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 10: for putting it into the house, but then there's a profit.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: For the homeowner, there could be a profit for them
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: instead of being low-balled by somebody else who's going to
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: flip it themselves.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 5: That's exactly right. More money in the homeowner's pocket.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: Hopefully.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: Hopefully.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Hopefully. As long as the numbers make sense. Flippingyourhouses.com.

• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 10: However, it is slowing down, okay, for sellers especially. So
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 10: still a good place to buy if you look at
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 10: it from the greater scheme of things. Okay.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: To live in California is expensive.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: We all know that.
• 1:16:13

  Speaker 10: can help you if you're If you're in distress, we
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 10: can help you.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: There's different options.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about buying houses. What
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: do people do nowadays? Where do we start for buying
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: a house?
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: People are out there looking to buy a house.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: Same as always.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 10: You talk to a realtor, and that realtor is probably
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 10: working with a lender. And I've been selling real estate
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 10: in Bakersfield for over 20 years.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: And I have a really good relationship with my lender.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 5: He's my friend. I trust him.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 10: And so that's who I refer to a potential buyer.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 10: The first step is to get you qualified, pre-qualified to
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 10: buy the house.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 10: So we got to check your income or the lender
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 10: has to check your income, your assets, your credit, all
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 10: of that, and then get you pre-qualified. And we go
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 10: out and start house hunting. We look for a house.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Are there a lot of houses available in Bakersfield right now?
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah, there actually are more houses on the market than
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 10: compared to a year ago.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Is that good or bad?
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 5: Well, that's the whole supply and demand thing again.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 10: That's why it's not such a seller's market because there's
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 10: more supply than there is demand.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 5: So it's good for buyers.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 10: It's good for buyers. You can negotiate more because there's
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 10: more inventory out there. It's taking longer to sell.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: Well, why aren't people just staying in their homes more longer?
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 10: Because people are not ever happy with what they have, man.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 10: The grass is always greener on the other side. It's
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 10: America's bigger, better, newer.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 5: That's what we live. That's how we live. Bigger, better, newer.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Is it better in today's market for somebody to sell
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: and buy something? Everything's financial. I know that. But is
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: it better for somebody to remodel than it is for
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: them to sell and try to find something new?
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 7: Newer, better, whatever they're looking for.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 5: It all depends, right?
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 10: I mean, you know, there's obviously, there's life circumstances. There's divorce,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 10: there's death, there's new babies, there's new marriages. You know,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 10: there's so many things.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 5: You're moving out of your parents. So it all depends, right?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 10: If you're just buying something just because you want something newer,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 10: then yeah. I mean, if you have a good interest
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 10: rate in your house and you've owned it for a
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 10: few years, then just remodel what you have, right?
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: Make that nicer, newer.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: But if you need to downgrade, then you can't do that, right?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 5: You have to sell and downgrade.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 5: Or if you do need to upgrade, you need more room,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 5: you've got babies coming, whatever.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, sure.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 5: You can't do that either, right?
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 10: But if you want something nicer, if you want a pool,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 10: if you want things that you can actually do to
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 10: your house, then my recommendation is, yeah, just stay where
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 10: you're at.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: Stay where you're at. Yeah.

• 1:19:31
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Romeo.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: All right, so a lot going on in the housing
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: market right now with... Actually, this is something that happened
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: years and years ago with foreclosures and people not being
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: able to afford their homes. Looks like maybe some of
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: that is going on again coming off of COVID. People were...
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: They took it easy on the house payments, it sounds like,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: during COVID times. And now the bill is due. The
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: bill is due.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 5: Time to pay up.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: So some of the people's, looks like foreclosures are going up.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that had something to do with it, man.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 10: You know, anytime that you tell people not to pay
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 10: their mortgage payments, they don't have to pay their mortgage payments,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 10: they're not, right? But then when it comes time to
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 10: actually start paying.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 5: Again, It's a little hard for some people.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: I think the same thing kind of happened with school loans.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: I think they put a moratorium on paying back school loans,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: and I think they started doing that again.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 5: And then Trump said, nope. He's like, nope, time to
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: pay up.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: I know that's hurting some people. But the housing, there
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: are options for you. Marco has a few if you
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: want to give him a call.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 7: Some, some, some, some.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: 661-444-0178.

  Speaker 1: You can also go to flipyourhouses.com or sellingbakersville.com to find
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: out any of the information that you need. If you
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: want to just talk to him, if you want to

  Speaker 1: talk to a live person, you can call him. He
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: does answer his phone half the time. Most of the time.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: Most of the time. But you can find the information
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: you need. If you want to buy a house, I mean,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: some of you out there looking for a house and
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: You just don't know where to begin. That's an option.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Some of you want to sell your houses. You want
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: to find out if it's worth it. Find out what
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: the comps are in your neighborhood, what your house might
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: sell for.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: We'll do it all.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 7: You need to remodel your house. You can do that
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 7: as well.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: I really like the idea of you having a contractor
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: that can come in and help with people who don't
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: have the cash on hand but have the equity in
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: their house to– To get some value out of it,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: to get some more value out of it.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 10: I like the way you put that. You know, they
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 10: don't have the cash on hand, but the cash is
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 10: in their house.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 5: It's called equity.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 10: So we can help them use that cash to put
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 10: it back into their house.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: And one of the interesting things you should say about
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: that is without taking out a loan against your house.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: You're not taking out an equity loan to remodel your
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: house to sell it.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 7: They're coming in. You don't need to have cash out
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 7: of pocket.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: And if that sounds interesting to you, call Marco.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 5: 661-444-0178. And you can find out that information.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: That never occurred to me until right now about the,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: when you said equity, about the people saying, well, we'll
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: just take equity out, you know, take a loan out
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: against our house. And now you have two loans instead
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: of one.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 5: And it costs money to get a loan too.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 5: Fees and whatnot.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: All right, Marco. Man, this was fun. You got to go.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: You got to go. Maybe you show up a couple
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: of weeks and we'll find out what's going on. I
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: know that you're reading an article right now, which I
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: think is very important. These foreclosures have gone up and
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: we don't want you to lose your home. I mean,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: at least we don't want you to lose everything because
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: at least maybe you might be able to get something
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: out of it.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, ABC News article says that since the pandemic, from
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 10: 2020 to 2025, foreclosure filings increased by 71%.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 7: That's country. That's across the nation, right?
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, across the nation. But that's a lot.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know what's going on in California, but okay.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 5: And guess what? The main states, one of them is California.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: California is expensive. I think there's a lot of it.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: validity to that, especially with taxes going up and food
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: and everything, gas and things like that.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 7: So it's making it.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: Tough for people, but we try to do the best
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: you can. Last thing, though, is if I have to
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: get out of my house, where am I going to live?
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Go back to mom. Go back to mom and dad.

  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me, William.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 10: Hey, Rome.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 4: Hey, Rome.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: Just hearing the new Raiders song for the time. Must
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: be the first time. Just hearing the new Raiders song
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: for the first time. It's hilarious. Yeah. The new Raiders song. Yeah. Yeah. R-E-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that. I think the song's pretty
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: hilarious myself, too, as a matter of fact. Yeah. Well,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: football season does start tonight, though. You got your first
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: game of the season. I think it's on NBC, I believe.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: Probably NBC and Peacock, right? Because they're calling it Sunday
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: Night Football. But it's the Patriots and the Seahawks going
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: at it.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 7: First game of the season, right?
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: Already 4-2-5-4, 7-7. Yo, Rome, I dig it. The new
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: Raiders song.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 8: What's going on? Romeo, my neighbor's dogs won't stop howling.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Well, they know good music, then.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 8: That's horrible, Romeo.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 10: Good for them.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to see that the dogs are enjoying the show.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 8: I don't think so. They're just, oh, and they only
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 8: do that when their ears are hurting.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, I'm pretty sure they're doing fine.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 9: Well, I just say thumbs down.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 8: Raider Dave gives it a thumbs down.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: Raider Dave, I am the guy with the show for
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: 30 years that everybody listens to, so I think I
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: know what I'm doing.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 8: I understand that.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: All right. Just for you and your neighbor's dogs, Raider Dave. Hey, Romeo. Hey,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: it's Gilrod. Hey, Rome. Remember my cut that I punked
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: with a picture of you on my couch passed out? Oh, yeah,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: that was back for a comedy show, right? Just text
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: her and ask her if she heard the new song. She's, yeah,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: it's stupid. I said, you're stupid. Punk-ass Raider fan.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: Hey, Rome, can you do the Niners one? The Niners song. Oh,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: the band bandwagon?
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Don. What's going on?
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 4: Hey, what's up, Rome? Hey, Ruben.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: What up, man?
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 9: Sorry I put out the hit, finally.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Finally. Finally. Finally. Finally. Since football started.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 9: When I hear that song, I'm like, Rome made a
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 9: song to that, and they're like... Tell him to keep
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 9: it to himself. I'm like, just change the station. Just
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 9: like the dumbass that just called you, you know what
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 9: I mean? Change the station.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 6: It's so bad, Rome, that they have to listen to you.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 9: Normally, they're like, oh, I don't like him, but they
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 9: got to listen still.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Dude, I'm like a toxic ex. You can't stay away
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: from me.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 8: A toxico Romeo. Romeo, tell brown-nosed Ruben to be quiet.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 8: If I may, can I respond?
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: It's football season and I'm ready to go.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: I hate the Niners, Chiefs, and Cowboys for sure.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: It's football season and I'm ready to go. It's Raider
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: Nation and you already know.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: Wow. Hey, Romeo, this is hilarious. The Raider fans are
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: slowly getting angry. This is a good day. Keep it up, Rome.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: Little Raider fans are stupid.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 9: Hey, Rome.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: Hey, Romeo. Let's go to Seahawk Lou's barbecue tonight. I'll
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: scoop you up, Rome. You can take road beers with me. Yeah,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'll go to Seahawk Lou's for his
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: barbecue tonight. Yeah, I don't. I just. Yeah, I don't.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I used to love going to Wasco when
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: it had the golf course and it was a beautiful town.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: If Seahawk Lose the King of Wasco, yeah, it's not
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: the place to go. Come on, Rome, let's go to
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: Seahawk Lose. I am not going to Seahawk Lose. Have
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: some burnt barbecue and then sit in his converted carport garage.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 7: Who knows what that's all about?
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: Yo, Rome, Headbutt Radio here. That song is definitely better
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: than coconut water. Come on, what's going on?
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 8: What's up, Rome?
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 9: Hey, bro, out of all the songs he's ever sang,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 9: I think that's his best one. I really think I
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 9: got to give Raider Dave some little bit of credit, Rome.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 9: I think out of all his songs, everything he's ever
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 9: put down, I think that's kind of the one with
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 9: that little something going for him. He might get his
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 9: broadcast going now, you know what I mean?
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll let him know.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 9: You know that one-hit wonder right there? There you go, bro.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: All right, get out of here. Ray, what big boy said? Yo, Rome,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: I love it. Here, let's see what coconut water sounds like. Oh,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: Raider Rob. What's Raider Rob got going on?
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: Says.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: hey, go Rome, Raider Rob, and Raider Dave on a
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: slick one. What are you talking about? I mean, these guys.
