• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you're moren welcome and gives the call. So what's going on?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Well, the automobile industry is just typical December. You know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I still have though I'm not in the game in
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: the retail, I'm still involved and I talked to you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: my five buddies or the five that I know that's
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: going to be truthful with them. And December is always
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: the push to get rid of the last car, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: to get that last bark on the board. The commercial industry,
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: I think it's six thousand GVW. I believe it could
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: have changed. You know, you get the total right off
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: in most applications of your company corporation LLC that you
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: know you have some profits there you want to you
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: want to purchase to offset some corporate tax. So it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: always a push. And as we get closer to the
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: end of the month, you'll see more and more and
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: more uptick of adversements. You know, nationally on TV, on
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: the computer, on the radio stations, just all they're going
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: to do their last spin. It seems like it's always
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: who wants to be the number one and whatever segment
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: they want. You can be number one about any segment
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: if you create a segment. Yeah, so believe it or not.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Back when it really mattered to me and I was
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: heavily involved in the retail world, and you know, there's
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: some really large automobile dealerships in West Virginia and especially
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: around this area, and they included the Independence, which I
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: was an independent and for We're about a ten year
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: run and I was I think I got really interested
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: in watching to see what position I was in for
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: whatever matter. Maybe it was ego, maybe just knowing if
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I was doing things right, because you know, I was
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: just a very small retail outlet that I hovered around
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: number eighty in a state for many years, so I
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: was the eightieth largest. So I put myself in a segment.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: I thought, well, you know, with everybody else that's really
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: really I thought was really really good. You know, now
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: you know it doesn't matter because that's not my game,
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: but you can put yourself in whatever segment. There wasn't
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: a segment of independent dealers. There was a segment of all,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: you know, registered dealers in state of West Virginia and
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: through West virgin and Auto Dealer Association and me belonging,
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I had access that information, which I think was very
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: important to me at one time. It's funny how you
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: shift not careers. I retired from my career. I'm still
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: playing as a hobby, as I tell people, but I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: still buying cars. There's no instrument or rating out there.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Who's buying the most cars. I know you know I
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: probably want to bottom. But what stands me different is
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: I'm one on one. You know, your information that we're
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: going to share with each other is conversation. And I'm
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: not going to pull out a laptop or any device
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: and enter other than I am going to take a
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: coffee of your driver's license, and that coffee is going
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: to be printed and put in this manilla envelope with
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: your name, or in a fiul that's behind a locked door.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: It's not going to go in any type of computer
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: where anybody can get in to access information off what
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: you give me and listen, they just throw a brick
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: through the window and pray open a foul cabin. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I was telling Dell before I came on in the air.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: We were talking and I've said this for the last
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: several years when I was in the retail. Now I'm
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: just buying cars. Is we are the safekeeper of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: information that you give us. And in so many times
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: do you ever really see talk to the individuals buying
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: your car or you just doing this by your phone
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: exchanging information and this little white truck shows up that
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: you know, it says Carvana or gas Monkey or who
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: they're all doing it. You know, who are going to buy?
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Well are they going to do with that information? I
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: received a letter yesterday and now I was telling Dale,
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: and I was at Kim's house and I don't really
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: receive mount Kim's house, and she said, here's a letter
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: addressed to you, and basically it was from Blue Cross
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Blue Shield, a third party they used to maintain or
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: whatever they do with my information. Their data was breached
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: and it was informing me, informing me for about a
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: period of five months, all my information and all the
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: information they had on their clients, which I'm sure is
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: hundreds of thousand. All the information was breached. So you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: the safekeeping is not safekeeping. Someone has by SO security number, name, address,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: and a lot of information about me. And it's basically
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: says saying, I can get on here and monitor what
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: they gave away. Well, who are you gonna call? There's
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: not a phone number on here. I mean, who are
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: you gonna call? I was having a conversation with a
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: friend of mine last night. She is moving. Her father
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: just passed away in Texas. She liquidated his estate, kind
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: of like what you talked about with your mother. And
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: now she's moving to Myrtle Beach to sell off her
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: father's belongings, which I knew Roy very well. He had
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: a lot of tools, a lot of machinery. He lived
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: to be ninety five, was a very active ninety four
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: year old man. He had stuff. Well, she was Facebook
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: marking in it, and during her Facebook marking she used
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: to word coach. Facebook flagged her and put her on
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: Facebook jail because she used to word coach in. What
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: they said was there's people selling knockoffs coach purses, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: they and they threw her under that umbrella. And now
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Lisa is a very smart lady. She's traveled the world
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: with dal Chamical. She's been in Shanghai and Columbia, you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: in South America. She's been all over to buy. So
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: this isn't just this is a pretty smart lady. She
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: cannot get a Facebook jail.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what what they're doing is because there is no
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: customer service anymore. No, they're using AI to capture the
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: broadest possible net that they possibly can. And then they're
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: just throwing up their hands at the people that get
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: caught in the net that shouldn't be And it's like
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: we well, anyway at least we're not getting sued for
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: stuff that that that's leaking out or whatever it might be.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: It's a terrible situation to see you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: So Lisa is a single lady with no children, never
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: been married, has been a professional worker all her life,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: and she liquidated her father's estate and kudos to her
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: because it was large. I mean we talk a lot,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: went to the funeral. I mean we're that close. Now
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: she's decided to downside sell her house. So she has
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: stuff over many years. She can't sell on in the
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: marketplace because she used a word sixty to ninety days ago.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: She's even went to YouTube and followed their instructions how
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: to file. And you know, I guess a grievance to
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: say or your side of it. Well, when you give
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: all this information to someone you've never even talked, that
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: doesn't even polish a telephone number, there is no talking
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: to them, and you've given them information and then you
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: get breached. Who do you call? Ian stay with your
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: local person, and once again, I buy cars and I'll
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: come to your mother's house, or I'll go to your
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: aunt's house, or I'll come and we get at one
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: on one right there. Because I've done it all my
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: life is sitting in the living room, in the kitchen
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: or wherever you want to set and we're going to
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: exchange a couple of pieces of paper. One of them
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: is going to be a check. Here's going to be
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: a title. In some cases there's two checks, a payoff
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: check and your equity check. And then that information is
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: going to be safeguarded by me, not by a computer
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: that has firewalls. It's going to go in an envelope.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: And that's where I stand out and what I'm finding
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: out Dell. Really, since I've semi retired, the person that
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: contacts me, I'll bet you is sixty years old or north.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: I can't get into the young generation's mind because they're
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: not listening to what I'm telling It's not going to
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: it doesn't change their world. It's going to change their
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: world when they do these days when the right breach happens.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: But you know, they don't quite understand because they were
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: raised with that laptop, telephone, you know, desktop in their hand,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: and they think that's the only way to do business.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: My clients is the older professional retired thing. You know.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: I don't want to give this information to everybody, and
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: I just don't want everybody coming into my house because
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: you know, nosy neighbors sometimes see things, you know, and
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: then they get on fakebook and blow it up that
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I guess what, Joe next door just sold his car
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: to Caran there's a big van that not everybody wants
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: their information out there, and then where that car lands.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: And if you read the blogs that I read, I mean,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: it just it makes you want to delete that word.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: But I can only I can only share my information
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: when I say my information what I do, and I
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: buy cars and I'm finding out that the people's contact
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: to me is near my age, if not older. And
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: it's a delicate situation. They just don't want to share
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: and they they know I'm safeguarding it because I don't talk.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: You know, there is some let's say, high profile people
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: in this area, in this county that I buy their cars,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: and I know they sell me their cars because I
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: don't talk about it. You know, it's not broadcasting.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Now for people tell me that they've sold you their
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: cars and I never knew that they sold you. You
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: they sold you sold you their cars, you know, but
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: they would mention it in some other context. Was like,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: oh yet somebody else that does business with Larry. I
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: didn't know.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: That I bought them from this station right here.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Yep. Oh yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: But before they were distributed or remarketed that logo you
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: all had, I made sure it came off it because
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: it's just what I do. And you know, I normally
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: go through glove compartments. I go through the navigation system
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: to see what you have stored. Do you realize that
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: taxt are stored?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I mean even twenty years ago. How
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: long whenever it was that I've worked for Enterprise, It
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: was almost twenty years ago now. Even back then where
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: they had where you could engage your bluetooth into the
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: dash of the vehicle and give it permission on stuff.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Whenever we would get vehicles back and you would go
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: in to get it ready for the next person or whatever.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: You could scroll down through the dashboard and see all
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: their texts, the calls that they made, the whole thing,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: and like you, I would always try to erase those sayings.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: People wouldn't be able to sink their bluetooth. So it
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: was a customer service aspect to it. But how much
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: privacy and stuff? I mean, because it was the text
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: of the text, not just the number. Now, the calls
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: were just the number, of course, but the texts were
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the text of the text because where they had it
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: up on the display. To me, that is crazy that
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: people sync up their data like that and then just
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: abandon it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: They just leave it. You go to vacation somewhere.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I've rented a condo a couple of years ago down
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: in Florida, showed up there and somebody left all of
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: their accounts logged in to the netflixes and stuff like
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: that on the community TV there. Like you go there
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: and you bring it up Disney Netflix. All this stuff
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: was already logged in with the previous people that were there.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I don't guess you could reverse engineer any data necessarily
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: out of that, but you know what you could do.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: You could watch a bunch of stuff that they don't
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: like to watch, and then when their kids go on
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: too log one, suddenly there's a bunch of programming that
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: they don't watch. It's being recommended to them. I mean, well, take.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Care of your data little more.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like sometimes being a gen xers and being
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: a gen x er, we're kind of one of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: smaller generations and there's not many of us in leadership positions,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: you know. I mean, there's just like there's never been
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: a gen X president of my generation. There's just I
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: feel like sometimes that we're in we're in the uh
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: in the breeze, trying to tell people about the storm
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: that's coming when it comes to data. Because I was
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: on the cusp of the handoff of the technology and
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I was really big into the privacy aspect of that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: The only thing activism that I've ever done in my
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: life is online privacy. I did that in the late nineties,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: in the early two thousands, And I feel like that
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: you can't caution people enough about do you realize how
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: bad it is with the data fate, with the forensic
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: data fate, data print that can be put together about
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: you right now, with all the safeguards that you try
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: to put together. It is alarming. And you can go
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: and find people that will do mockups of how you
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: can get data from here here and here and here
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: and here and put together a forensic data fingerprint of
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: a person that is extraordinarily accurate with their family history
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and their friends and where they've lived and what cars
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: they own. I mean, you can derive this stuff just
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: from metadata, and we don't protect any of that stuff.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Walk out on the street and catch the next person
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: walking down and asking me to give me your SOID
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: security numbers and see what they say to you.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I would never do that.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Well they have, well guess what, And it's all over
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: the place. And the more you do it, the more's
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: out there. And so be very protective everything like your
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: social security numbers. Seriously exactly. And once again, when I
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: go in and buying a car, I met a gentleman
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: last Friday. I did not buy his car, but I
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: don't think anyone else has. I'm hoping to be able
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: to buy his truck. Seventy six, seventy seven retired god
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: on common ground. He told me what he was doing.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: And you know, a nice guy lives up Systonvielle and
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: he made the journey to Nitro. And I would bet
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: to say he made the journey to Nitro. He's probably
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: heard me on this station and what and that's when
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: it That's when it dawned on me. I don't know.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: I do not have twenty five and thirty year olds
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: and really forty year olds walking in or calling or
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: texting or getting hold of me. It's sixty plus years
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: old and a lot of it is generated right here.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: And that's why Sean asked me if I was, you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: going to be back next year, and I suggest because
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: I believe the majority of your listeners probably I won't
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: say it's sixty, but they're they're not twenty.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: If there's the way that it works out with talk radio,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: if you're sixty plus listening to the radio, that the
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: chances are you listening to talk radio is very high.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's just I mean.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: There's others that listen and you go elsewhere, but once
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: you get to a certain threshold, talk radio and classic
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: rock into some degree classic country, but talk radio is
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: basically where those people reside.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that's true.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: So that brings in that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: That's all of us, I mean, you know, I mean
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: that's West Virginia.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, and that's where I get a lot of people
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: calling just asking questions or they'll run into me because
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: I'm where I'm not in that retail business. They don't
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: feel obligated. Really good friend of mine and a neighbor,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: he is a CPA, really bright guy, and we talked well.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I was over his house yesterday evening. We was just
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: watching little TV and just shooting a breeze. And he's
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: big in sports and bigger than I am, but I
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: you know, we talk sports and Sunday evening he and
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: I met over at Billy Sundays and he was having
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: a beer and I was having a sandwich in a sprite.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: You know, I just came back and snowshoe and he said,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: you know, Larry, he said, being a CPA in account
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: and I know I sometimes asked him a question though
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Mike Greenley is my accountant, just to talk to him.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: And he says, a lot of people ask me questions
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: about their taxes because I'm a CPA. And he says,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I've come to the point in my life that I'm
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: gonna start charging because he is a walking IRS manual.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I'm doing.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: This is always ever done. And I said, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: I can see where you should and I understand that,
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: I said me On the other side, I said, I
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: like to engage and if I can help, because it's
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: my follow up, it's my credentials, it's hey. Larry said,
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: you know, we'll call Larry because he gave me some
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: good advice when my mother was ill, and we had
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: to sell a car. I'm actually dealing with one of
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: those right now. And I've navigated and dell. I started
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: the automobile business when I was this shy of twenty
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: years old. I'm sixty eight, well, I soon to be
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: sixty eight years old. I've done this almost five decades.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: I kind of know the car business. And you can
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: get on that fake book, or you can get on
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: the internet and you can educate yourself for about three
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: to five minutes, because that's when you get tired of reading.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: You can't comprehend what I have. Yeah, right, absolutely, it's priceless.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: So I have nothing else to do in life other
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: than buy cars. I mean, I'm not in that retail
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: world now. The Stevens occupying my spot and they leased
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: it from me, and I just have a small space.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: But I still got this great mind and I like
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: to engage and I do like to be helpful, but
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: once again, I'm not gonna get do it by gathering
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: up a large information. I saw this commercial wise a
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: snowshoe about carbonam. They got Shaquille O'Neill doing the commercial.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: You think he's.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Free, No, no, no, And.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: Do you think that television you know I mean he's
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: probably a part owner on Yeah, he made has has
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: his fingers and everything, so it wouldn't surprise me. So
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: when you get when you start reading and watching adversements nationally,
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: that's not free.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: No, no, So how.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: Can they do all this magic and pay you more
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: than anybody else and then pay shock you know to
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: do this? This is this small business in West Virginia
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: and we have a lot of small entrepreneurs. I have
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: leased a building to a lady at four it's a
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: great address, four twenty first Avenue, and she has nitro
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: energy and wellness and she does herberlight. I'm gonna call there.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: It's a drink. It's an energy drink to me because
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: it does hype me up a little bit. But she
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: has so much business. It is amazing because I didn't
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: understand her concept when she came to meet about leasing
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: the building. Actually, I mean, Christian, if you're listening, you
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: sold yourself on me. I didn't have a grasp on
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: your product. I just didn't know. I almost. I mean,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: I don't want to say I saw maybe a potential
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: failure in this thing because I didn't quite understand she's
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: rocking it nice and she's I don't think Christian's forty yet.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: She's a mother and a wife and has this business.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: But one thing I saw her was a vision during
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: one of our first conversations. Let's just say, it didn't
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: go real well. And I, you know, it's my building,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I at least to whoever want to, and I didn't
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: return a couple of her texts, and she confronted me
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: about it, and I said, well, you were telling me
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: how you're going to do things in my building before
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: you had become you know, And she apologized, she said,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: you know what, You're right, and boy, we got on
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: the right page immediately.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Something just took a couple of minutes of this. We talked.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: We talked. I mean, it's all it took was a talk.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: You know, text can go wrongs real and this was
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: not going real right. And so you know, if you're
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: invading my space and it's mine and the incomings not real, well,
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: then I just don't text back. Because I'd had a
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: similar situation with a person of youth that had rented previously,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: and we just it just did work real well. This
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: is working very well, and I'm very proud of her,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: though I don't know her. I'm promoting her. She happens
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: to be in a building I own. But this girl
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: is driven. And once we talked and not text, I
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: saw it. I understood it, but the text wasn't going
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: very well. And so I guess the message behind this
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: meaning or the meaning behind this message I'm saying is
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: call me. I mean, if you have something to sell,
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: if you have a circumstance that you just want to
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: talk about, it might be a delicate situation. I understand,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to share it. How do you know
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: that that texting with that AI bought as they call it,
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: isn't being shared to multiple multiple monks.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: I guarantee it is.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, have you ever read all the terms of
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: service of every service you sign up for that it
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: uses AI or using your data and some say way
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: shape or form, because I guarantee you that all of
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: those places reserve some right to sell or to manipulate
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: your data.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Last yesterday evening around eight, I got a notification they're
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: going to update my phone. Will you have to sign
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: that to let the I mean I didn't read it right,
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: and I'm struggling right now this morning because it was updated.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: It is completely different Kim Morman yesterday evening before I
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: left her house, she said, have you updated? And I said,
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: I don't think I've got a you know, alert that
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: I'm going to be updated. She said, wait until you are.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: You know, we forget about like regular software not attached
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: to phones anymore. But recently the Enterprise Suite for Microsoft
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: updated all the way through at system, so you know,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: when you have a corporate license those things eventually, well
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: I'll update. But Microsoft incorporated AI into everything that they
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: do now, so suddenly one day you open up Outlook
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: and it's just regular Outlook. The next day you open
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: it up and suddenly it's asking you if you want
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: a computer to write your email for you, like.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: You had to button. You're like, wait minute, I didn't
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: mean to hit that is what are you writing? What
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: is this?
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: I mean palette?
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I mean what are you doing?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: I don't want this thing on here.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've I've been writing thank you, but I
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I'm fifty one years old and I've been writing emails
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: for a long time. I don't suddenly need for some
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: some robot to write my email for me. I mean,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: and it's intrusive. It's not even somewhere where you have
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: to go look for me, like, Okay, let me go
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: find this tool to do it for me. It's like
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: they're trying to make you hit that instead of just
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: doing the thing that you normally do. I'm sorry, I've
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: gotten to this ad. I did a whole show on
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: it on Monday. But I've gotten to this point where
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: as somebody who used to embrace technology and used to
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: really be I mean, my first computer was called a
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: k Pro two. I had it in nineteen eighty. I
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: was six years old.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've been on these things forever, and I'm
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: at the point now where if I could throw it
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: all on the river, I would.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: If it's so good. You know, Fruth Pharmacy is closing down,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: and that's where I get my prescriptions from in Winfieldruth.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: They me a tax, not a call, sent me a
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: text saying that my information was being transferred to Walmart,
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: excuse me, to Walgreens. Walgreens in Eleanor and I just
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: live across the river, so I thought, well, I'll drive
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: over and say hi, and do you need anything? I
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: mean you need I have whatever I have. You do
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: need it? Yeah, and she said, oh, no, we have
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: all your information. I said, so everything that Fruth has
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: you have now they'll they'll not not only get one prescription,
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: it's it's an annual thing. She said, oh no, there'll
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: be no interruption. I said, great, Well, Friday, I'm on
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: my way to snush you. I get a text from
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Walgreens says, we just received a script for you. Press
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: type yes to go or no quit. I don't remember,
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: and you know obviously, but yes. Well Monday afternoon, I
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: hadn't heard anything because normally they send you a follow
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: up text and your prescriptions ready. So I call, I was,
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: I was on whole twenty four minutes. Twenty four minutes.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: I was on hold the Walgreen's in Eleanor, and I
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: kept saying, you're the third. There's three waiting, two waiting,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: one waiting, then bang, and I could hear all this
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: noise or no, it was quite noisy. I don't know why.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: In Eleanor Or, West Virginia. And she said, well, we
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: have not received a prescription for you. I said, well,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: why did you send me a text? And I read
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: it to her. You know these things you can put
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: on the microphone and I brought it up. She said, well,
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: hold on, well I go back on old come back.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: She said, oh, yeah, we did. I said yeah, and
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: she said, well I need to enter all your information
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: in the computer. This will take a while. I said, ma'am,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I came over there to give you all this information
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: and you told me you didn't need you had it all.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Well hold on. Well finally another person got on the phone.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I don't have any off people as occupied. And I'm
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: not really complaining, just that how did this speed things?
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Eleanor?
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know. See, that's what I was thinking, wonder
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: if they was really in Eleanor? Was I really talking
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: to Eleanor.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I saw somebody going through the Walgreens trash over in
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Kansas City. They were trying to break into it and
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: get some stuff out of it, and I was ready
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: link for work. I couldn't stop to go in, so
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I called the Walgreens and I discovered at that point
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: in time that it's almost impossible because I got a
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: hold of somebody. I was like, man, you got somebody
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: outside trying to break into your trash right now. You
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: need to get out there and see if you can
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: do anything about it. They're like where are you calling from?
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what, I called your local?
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: And I found out that it was a call center somewhere.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: They had no idea. They had to transfer. Although I
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: called the local number to the local pharmacy, they had
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: to transfer me to the local business so I could
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: tell them there was somebody trying to break into their trash.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: And I still couldn't get through it, just ring and
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: ring and ring.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: So you know this big isn't always better. If it works,
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: it's great, it's streamline. You go, wow, that was easy.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Let it be difficult, and then try to make a
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: phone call. I'm getting ready to change my doctor. And
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: I really like my doctor, but he's involved with h
• 26:59

  Speaker 5: because i've seen it all then you know you're at
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: the end. So I've seen a lot, see just about
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: all themes. Yeah, I think so, I've seen a lot
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: of different scenarios. I've seen situations. I mean, we could
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: do a show or fraudulent acts that I have heard
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: of or actually been a part of, and didn't realize it.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: And I thought I was pretty good, you know that
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: they came in, that they've came in and got me,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: and I thought, wow, I learned something.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: It's it's funny that when you're doing everything right and
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: you have nothing but the best intentions, you're blinded because
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: that person out there that doesn't have the best attentions,
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: they're taking advantage of your being blinded. Orn'arro sighted or
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: you got your blind because you're looking straight ahead, you're
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: looking the path of doing things right. And I've done
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: it right all these years. When I say I did right,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: I mean was every car I sol did everybody have
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: a great experience? I'm sure not. I'm sure there's been
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: some people out there, but it wasn't intentional, and when
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: I found out about it, I did my best to
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: correct the situation. I mean, you don't stay in business
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: as long as I stayed in business at Nitro being
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: an independent car dealer and not upset somebody or some people.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: But the long haul, I have no regrets. I mean,
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: there's nothing. If I had to do over, I'll do
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: it over exactly how I did it. But the people
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: that has taken advantage of me was because what I
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: was trying to do was doing the right way and
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: they were circumventing and taking advantage of me. Because I
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: don't think that one.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, do you bring up such a good point there,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: because if you don't practice the deceitful side of things. Frankly,
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: and I'll speak from experience on this. As as good
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: as you might be at your business, the people that
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: are bad faith actors may can trick you, man, because
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: you're not like I met from me, I'm a little naive.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: In some cases, I've been absolutely blindsided by something that
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: where I found out it was somebody doing something in
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: authentic or in bad faith or something like that, I
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: was like, I had no I mean, I felt like
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: an idiot because I had no idea. But I just
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: don't approach life from that perspective. It's hard for me
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: to see that perspective.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: I bet you when you were in a rental car
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: business that people came in, Yeah, you're shaking your head.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: I could only imagine that when you there was probably
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: some questions that you were trained to ask, oh yeah,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: you know, to see if they were going to pass
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: that part of the test because you do not know
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: what they're really going to do with that.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: You do not And like I told you before, we
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: were responsible for cars. If you lost cars, you had
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: to pay for them. And when you worked for enterprise,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: if somebody stole your car or whatever. So when somebody
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: would come in and rent something and wouldn't return it,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: or you're trying to get a hold of them and
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: they're not returning your calls, and well, we had a
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: credit card on foul, but we can't run it anymore
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: because it won't take it. And you, I mean, and
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: you have to make a character judgment sometimes when people
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: when they're coming into that. Man, I tell you, it's
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: not easy. Sometimes it's not easy.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Well, the same way when I was in the automobile
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: selling business, people come in and you know, obviously they
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: want to drive a car, and I would always think,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: you know, they would have good intentions, but I am
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: a little questionnaire that I would ask, and as long
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: as all of the answers was in the parameters of
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: what I thought was good faith, and you know, we're
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: all good, I really didn't have much of a problem
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: because I was so well known, especially in that Nutro area.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: And that was my customer base. You could drop a
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: compass and go around and draw ten mile radius, and
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: that was the business. And it's probably still the business
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: in me buying cars. I mean, I don't get a
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: call from Webster Springs, not I wouldn't go to Webster Springs.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: I was in Webster Springs Friday and Sunday, so I
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: can stop by your house. I've had conversation up around
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: the Snowshoe area because it's a virgin area, nobody's working it.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: But I don't plan to go up there. I really
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: don't plan. I'm not going back to work. I love
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: his hobby. This is a great hobby because I'm helping people.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: I'm doing what I really like and kind of what
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: I know best to do, and that was to buy cars.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: So if you're thinking about it, if you have a
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: loved one or what just a circumstance you want to
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: run by me, you can call me. My cell phone
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: numbers three oh four five four five zero two eleven.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: That's the same number I've had since nineteen ninety eight,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: the same number. So it's if you did if you
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: dealt with me in ninety two and you had an
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: old business card laying around. That's still my telephone number.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: So I'm a very easy accessible person and I think
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: I'm a whole lot more than probably anyone you're going
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: to find in the automobile world, because these stores have
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: gotten bigger, and you know, they don't always answer the
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: phone like the old days, because you don't know who's
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: answering that phone now, good intentions, bad intentions. You know
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: that's warehoused in their bricks and mortars, but it might
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: not be the department that you want. And I've told
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: this story before. You know, you get pulled on hold
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: and that customer gets let's say, disgrunt or upset or
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: just hangs up. You may very well lost customer. And
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: there's the next person down the street that you know
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: is waiting for that to happen. And I'm not the
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: next guy down the street, but I'm the guy that's
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: really easy to find. So once again, if you want
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: to call, it's three h four five four five zero
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: two eleven. I'm next door to where I was for
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: thirty seven years. I'm local in the community. I set
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: on a couple of boards, so one in the city
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: of Nitro, one in the city of Winfield, which I
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: reside in. I sit on the DMV board that the
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: governor appointed me too, so I'm kind of around. I mean,
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of that guy. So any automobile world.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: At least that's right, and it has been on the
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: radio for a long time with that, and we encourage
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: you if you have any questions earlier, you can't give
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: him a call. Threes are a four five four five
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: zero to eleven. Threes are a four five four five
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: zero to eleven. And every second, what do we on
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: the second Wednesday?
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Wednesday?
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: A right, well, on the second Wednesdays of every month
• 34:59

• 35:01
  Speaker 3: talk to Larry. If you have any questions, you can
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: get ready for next time. But really it's easier just
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: to give him a call. Three zer a four five
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: four five zero two eleven. Then you can call it
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: next time and tell us how it went and how
