(0:00) Okay, it's uh...
(0:02) Polyethylene Glycol 330-50 USP Powder for Oral Solution.
(0:10) Huh, wonderful.
(0:13) Does mom know about that?
(0:14) Yeah.
(0:15) Which is what?
(0:16) Prescription laxative.
(0:17) Really? (0:19) Uh, 10-20, what's today? 28th?
(0:22) Yeah.
(0:23) October, it's around 10:30, going to the police department in the city of Tonawanda.
(0:27) 10:30, Tonawanda.
(0:33) We're finding all this stuff all over the place.
(0:36) I mean, I hid the laxative that you had, and I also hid the other. (0:42) But still, this laxative, it could be a lot worse.
(0:47) But, I mean, we don't know what to think. (0:51) And you've got to be careful because if you accuse somebody, if you're unsuspicious, without real proof, we could be in trouble too. (0:59) Y'know?
(1:03) Hi.
(1:04) Hi, how are you?
(1:05) Good, how are you guys tonight?
(1:07) Crazy day, crazy night.
(1:09) I get it.
(1:11) Just tell Jen at the window that you're here.
(1:14) Okay.
(1:14) See ya.
(1:20) We're here.
(1:23) Detective Ward called, and I guess, or my dad talked to him and said he wanted to take a look at the house.
(1:28) Well, actually, Andy did, and then he talked to me.
(1:30) My name is Joe.
(1:31) My dad's Tom.
(1:34) Alright, so I'm good.
(1:35) Good night.
(1:45) He's probably going home for the night.
(1:49) You know, about that time. (1:54) And your dog go over and she cries in front of him. (2:01) He's a character, I'll tell you. (2:04) They always get twisted up as soon as they get out of the car. (2:08) And around the tree, around the basket, the garbage can, or whatever it's like. (2:17) Alright, sit down. (2:21) Three hours over there until tonight. (2:26) And it wasn't going to go, it was going to cancel. (2:28) It was making a fight out of it. (2:30) And I told you, don't.
(2:33) Come on in, you guys. (2:35) I'll take you over to Detective Ward, okay?
(2:37) Okay.
(2:38) Ward?
(2:39) Ward.
(2:40) Ward.
(2:41) Yeah.
(2:45) Hey, guys.
(2:46) Hey, guys.
(2:47) Hey.
(2:48) How you doing? (2:54) It's crazy, isn't it? (2:57) He's, uh, off-the-rocker a little bit tonight.
(3:02) I'm positive. (3:05) You know, I don't really cry at all. (3:09) I don't know what else to do.
(3:10) Well, I spent three hours with his recent character. (3:14) Did he, uh, he met today with somebody? (3:16) Oh, yeah. (3:17) They told me he was gone.
(3:18) They had a big meeting today. (3:19) And the wheels are starting to spin. (3:22) But the doctor can't come up with a solution yet because there's too much involved.
(3:28) Because it's in for medication. (3:31) Torpedoes, every idea. (3:32) If anybody ever comes up.
(3:33) He tears everything apart. (3:36) And he also has, like, some suing people. (3:39) Oh, yeah.
(3:41) He's even trying to sue me, too. (3:43) Yeah. (3:43) His own father.
(4:06) Hi, John. (4:07) How you doing, Joe? (4:08) How you guys feeling? (4:10) Sheriff Penalty's office, how you doing? (4:11) Yeah, it used to be Joe's office. (4:13) Come on in here.
(4:14) Buddy Joe. (4:15) Thank you guys for coming in. (4:17) I scared him a little bit for retirement.
(4:20) Yeah, you got him out of here? (4:22) Yeah, yeah, yeah. (4:22) Thank you. (4:23) I appreciate that.
(4:24) He's got a nice office. (4:25) He's got a nice office. (4:27) I know.
(4:27) If they can change the car here, that'd be great. (4:30) He's working in Grand Island now. (4:32) In the Grand Island schools.
(4:33) Oh, really? (4:33) He's part-time now. (4:34) Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. (4:35) Well, that's what I do, too.
(4:37) Because I tell you, after a month or so, you go a little crazy. (4:41) You got to do something. (4:42) My opinion.
(4:44) I'll let you guys. (4:45) All right, I'll take it. (4:46) Should I take it? (4:56) He says go ahead and get it tested and everything.
(4:59) There's nothing in it other than cornstarch and everything. (5:03) It's not the laxative. (5:09) I'm concerned that things are going to blow and something bad is going to happen.
(5:17) So, I know you didn't want anything done, but it's at the point where I'm going to press charges, okay? (5:25) And so what I would like is to give you guys a statement. (5:28) I don't want to see you get arrested. (5:31) I've been following you.
(5:32) Oh, yeah. (5:33) Okay, and I know that he baits you, and then he starts to record once you get mad. (5:38) He needs help.
(5:41) Your home is not the right environment for him. (5:43) It's not good for you. (5:45) I mean, if you get arrested, who's taking care of Janet? (5:47) Nobody.
(5:48) Let's be honest. (5:49) Yeah, because he won't take care of her. (5:51) What's Andy going to do to her? (5:53) Yeah.
(5:54) So, what I'd like to know, you know, I know you guys don't want to see him getting in trouble, but he's kind of brought this up. (6:04) I mean, I know he called some of you guys this morning. (6:07) I don't know if he called yesterday or anything or what was going on.
(6:10) He calls every day. (6:10) Because I told, I think it was Officer Lynch, is his name? Dave? (6:16) Lawrence. (6:17) Lawrence, okay.
(6:18) That he was the actual one that looked into it after I talked to the officer last week about it, me and Joe came in, (6:24) because we kept on wondering why we're sick and Joe was losing a lot of work and all this stuff. (6:28) And then all of a sudden, I says, it kind of dawned on me, I says, (6:31) Joe's laxative he used when he had the colonoscopy was sitting on the stove. (6:35) And I says, maybe that's slipping into something.
(6:37) But then when he made the comment and then told, I don't know, what's her name, Joanne? (6:41) That he put it in a stew. (6:44) Yeah. (6:44) He put it in your stew? (6:45) Yeah.
(6:46) And then he put it close to a bathroom because it could explode and all this other stuff. (6:50) Did you guys go see a doctor or anything? (6:52) No, we didn't. (6:53) But just two days ago, again, I had some double up cramps.
(6:56) But that day earlier, I found in the kitchen table, and I wish I took a picture before I got rid of it. (7:02) A bottle of Epsom salts. (7:04) And I asked my wife to get a nurse.
(7:05) I says, what do you call double pain in the stomach and everything? (7:09) And my wife says, oh, yeah, that stuff is serious. (7:12) So I don't know if you know this or not, but the right amount of Epsom salts digested can cause heart failure. (7:19) That's how serious it is.
(7:20) Blood pressure, so that. (7:21) Oh, you're right. (7:22) Yeah.
(7:22) And that's what my concern is. (7:24) That's what my wife said. (7:25) He could do it accidentally or whatever.
(7:26) Yeah. (7:28) He's the one who's got Epsom salts, and he's the one who's got red pulse. (7:32) And so when he was in here the other night.
(7:34) Seriously. (7:34) Yeah, I know. (7:35) I'm not trying to get you against your son, but when he was in here the other night, I watched the body camera footage from talking to Lieutenant and Officer Caruso.
(7:43) Yeah, I found it. (7:44) And he thinks it's funny. (7:46) Oh, yeah.
(7:46) He was laughing about it. (7:47) I asked him about it. (7:49) And he says he's done it to you before in the past.
(7:51) Oh, yeah. (7:52) He's done it a long time ago. (7:52) He used to do it.
(7:54) I used to do it on one park back in the day. (7:56) And all of a sudden, I had it on. (7:58) And I told him, don't do it.
(7:59) Yeah. (8:03) So. (8:03) Yeah.
(8:04) So he's admitted it. (8:05) Yeah, after he admitted it. (8:06) He admitted it, and he don't.
(8:07) And I told him right out. (8:09) I says, here's the story. (8:10) Back in the early, late 70s, early 80s, I worked for Mesmers.
(8:14) I don't know if I did before your time. (8:16) For milk. (8:17) I used to go out to Rochester to deliver all the bell stores every morning.
(8:20) Uh-huh. (8:20) And I always took a thermos of coffee. (8:23) Right? (8:24) About halfway through the day, I started feeling funny, but I finished my route.
(8:27) I'm on the way home. (8:28) I feel real lousy. (8:29) I'm going to die or pass out or whatever.
(8:31) I finally get back to Buffalo. (8:33) And I want to. (8:34) I didn't even make it back to Grand Island.
(8:36) I wound up going to St. Joe's emergency room. (8:40) Uh-huh. (8:40) And they took a blood test.
(8:41) And my doctor came back and told me, you know, you're lucky to be alive. (8:44) I says, what do you mean? (8:45) He says, not only did someone put antifreeze in your coffee. (8:49) But they put in three different sleeping pills.
(8:52) And right away, I told Andy, look, this is one thing I'm always scared about. (8:55) Even when I go to a restaurant or anything, walking away from there, (8:59) that somebody could do something to hamper your food. (9:02) And I says, you might be doing it.
(9:04) And then he started laughing. (9:05) Oh, you really do it. (9:06) Do it.
(9:07) Do it. (9:07) And I'm saying to myself, wait a minute. (9:11) Get off.
(9:12) It's one of those. (9:14) I just worry. (9:14) I mean, he doesn't think about the fact that, like, what's he going to do (9:19) when you guys aren't here? (9:20) I try to talk to him about this.
(9:22) He thinks that I'm going to take care of him. (9:24) You're going to take care of him. (9:24) You can't.
(9:25) I said no. (9:27) Well, I went to a three-hour meeting today at Horizon. (9:31) And he met with three psychiatrists today.
(9:34) One behind the mirror and two in the room. (9:37) And I was the neutral party. (9:38) I didn't say anything whatsoever other than listen to the conversations (9:42) and the questions.
(9:43) And they came up with a solution, but they need more time to evaluate. (9:48) They've got a pile of paper like this. (9:49) And what they need is they seem to think he's off the rocker (9:54) because he needs medication.
(9:56) Schizophrenia. (9:57) Right. (9:57) They've got to figure out what the formula is.
(10:00) So he's going back next week to get that done. (10:04) Then afterwards I went to his counselor, Ryan, along with his – (10:09) Yeah, he speaks very highly of Ryan. (10:10) He likes Ryan.
(10:11) Right. (10:11) And he's working with assisted living, (10:15) and he's also working with a nurse that's actually getting him in a day program (10:21) and a nursing facility possibly shortly. (10:25) That's if he wants to go.
(10:26) And here's the thing. (10:29) These are all walkout facilities. (10:32) What we need to do is my plan is to, and it sucks, to arrest him for this, okay, (10:40) and get him into possibly mental health court, okay? (10:45) And then he's mandated to do things, or he sits in the can.
(10:49) Ryan gets locked up. (10:49) He doesn't want to go back. (10:51) That's why he's calling me, and he's all in a panic (10:53) because he knows he screwed up, he knows he did something, (10:57) and we've got to get him into a place where he can't really leave.
(11:02) So before I've had you guys come in, I've already talked to a couple of his counselors, (11:06) not about his diagnosis or anything, (11:07) but they are concerned that if he goes into a place that's not a locked facility, (11:15) and I'm not talking about padded walls and stuff, okay, he doesn't need that, (11:19) but he needs supervision. (11:22) And I think it will make your guys' relationship a lot healthier than what it is, okay? (11:28) If he goes into a structured facility and is court mandated, it's going to be good for him, (11:34) it's going to be good for you, it's going to be good for Janet. (11:37) I mean, how was that time when he was in Amherst? (11:40) How was that time for you guys? (11:41) It was hectic for us.
(11:43) When he was gone? (11:43) When he was gone, because the Amherst police kept on calling me. (11:46) He won't leave him alone. (11:46) 24-7, they were calling.
(11:48) They used to call him for welfare checks sometimes. (11:50) Oh, I know. (11:50) We arrested him for it.
(11:52) Yeah, yeah, he was calling when I was walking the dogs in North Tonawanda on the thing, (11:57) and then I had to come back home. (11:58) Well, besides the calls, how was it? (12:01) When Andy wasn't there and he didn't bother us, it was fine, (12:04) but it wasn't Andy who was calling me directly. (12:06) They were calling my wife in the Amherst police.
(12:08) My wife says, okay, because they all said, look, Andy is lost. (12:16) He doesn't know where he's at. (12:18) He hasn't been fed for days.
(12:20) He doesn't have any food. (12:21) So they wanted to know if we could supply him the food, take him to dinner every night, (12:25) and so on and so forth. (12:27) Then they went back to jail for a while, and then when he got out of jail, (12:30) the thing started on the boulevard.
(12:32) And then he was in and out of the hospitals, too, meanwhile. (12:37) I saw all that. (12:38) You saw the hospitals? (12:39) I saw all of it, yeah.
(12:40) Even now, the hospitals won't even keep him or talk to him anymore. (12:43) No, no. (12:43) They've had it.
(12:44) I told them that the other day. (12:45) So, I mean, these should all be signs for you that he needs to be somewhere else. (12:49) Oh, we know.
(12:50) But anyways, I drove over 3,000 miles this summer just for him, for chasing, (12:56) because either he was lost and he was blue, (12:59) or every time they were calling us, we had to move a step out of the motel. (13:02) He was playing the autistic game at that point. (13:04) But he talked.
(13:05) You should hear him. (13:05) I think he's given up on that. (13:06) I'm not kidding you.
(13:07) I talked to him for probably an hour and a half at least. (13:10) And then, obviously, he was talked for another hour. (13:12) The whole thing was an hour and 43 minutes.
(13:14) But he was talking real clear. (13:15) Yes. (13:16) He was doing it to psychiatrists.
(13:17) The only thing, Tom, the only thing he can't talk clearly about is how you abuse him. (13:23) That's what we call a brick wall. (13:25) Because he can't.
(13:26) Because you're not doing it. (13:28) He baits you. (13:29) He gets you to a point where you're pissed off, (13:31) and then he starts recording to get you to say something.
(13:35) One thing was is you do the same thing that you're blaming your dad for, (13:39) you do worse to him. (13:41) He's harassing you. (13:43) I'm going to go fill these.
(13:45) All right, cool. (13:46) Thanks. (13:46) I appreciate it.
(13:47) Let me know, and I'll back up. (13:48) All right. (13:49) I'll walk him back out.
(13:50) All right. (13:50) You're probably out of here then. (13:51) Yeah, so does my play make sense to you? (13:56) Because I'm going to talk to the judge.
(13:58) I'm going to say this kid needs to be in mental health court. (14:02) I didn't even know there was a mental health court in the first place. (14:05) How come our judge didn't decide to do that the last time when we were in the court? (14:09) Well, we suspended the order of protection that was 100% with me.
(14:14) If the solo's modified, then you could get it taken care of. (14:18) I don't think. (14:25) See, that's the question I would have on that.
(14:27) I want to put home to you. (14:29) I want you to really think about this because what he did could have killed you. (14:35) Yeah.
(14:35) I mean, this is no joke. (14:37) Oh, I know. (14:38) And I know you don't want him arrested.
(14:39) I was ready to go to the emergency room on Saturday, too. (14:42) I know you guys don't want him arrested, okay, but. (14:46) No, we want to get him to health, get him to home.
(14:49) He is burning all his bridges with the advocates, with the counselors. (14:54) He's had at least three placement homes that he's denied. (14:59) Oh, I know.
(15:00) One of them was he was this close to going in. (15:02) Did you hear about it when he was at Erie County Medical? (15:04) He was actually at the residence. (15:07) Really? (15:07) Yes.
(15:07) Okay, the other time he was ready to be leaving to go and they brought him his food (15:12) and he was teed off at the nurse because he didn't have hot sauce. (15:16) Yeah. (15:16) And he took his whole tray and threw it at the nurse.
(15:18) Yeah. (15:19) And yet he denies it because I know my wife got the phone call from the nurse (15:23) saying what happened, but Andy still to today denies the whole thing. (15:27) I mean, he's lucky that nurse probably didn't pass his place.
(15:29) Didn't pass his place. (15:30) I know. (15:31) You know, nurses have big hearts, you know.
(15:34) A lot of these people like this, is it Erica that was helping him? (15:38) Erica. (15:40) He burned that bridge hard. (15:40) She stayed at nights with her sister's hospital.
(15:43) You know on Friday he sent her 67 videos and 101 text messages? (15:48) Oh, I believe it. (15:49) Yeah. (15:50) I got them too.
(15:51) Yeah? (15:52) Yeah, he's been sending a lot of text messages. (15:53) A lot of text messages. (15:55) A lot of pictures.
(15:56) And a lot of people have been saying, hey, we don't want to be in group text anymore. (15:59) He keeps doing it. (16:00) Yeah, he keeps doing it.
(16:00) He makes phone numbers. (16:02) Yeah. (16:03) He's losing friends.
(16:04) And people are having to change their phone numbers. (16:06) Yeah. (16:07) So we got to do something.
(16:08) Yeah. (16:09) Okay? (16:09) Can I get a statement from you guys? (16:12) I mean. (16:13) I mean, either way, without it, I'm still going to arrest him.
(16:16) Just know. (16:16) Yeah. (16:16) Okay.
(16:17) But this helps. (16:19) See, the thing is, how did he find out about it? (16:22) He had him arrested. (16:24) We called, because they, my wife and Joe, I heard them headbanging down the wall when (16:30) they were outside on the porch waiting for me to pull the car up, because we were going (16:33) out deep because he was so out of control.
(16:35) I was there. (16:35) I arrested him. (16:36) Me and Officer Kearson arrested him.
(16:38) You remember that. (16:38) Yeah, I was there. (16:39) It was earlier this year.
(16:40) Okay. (16:40) He accused me. (16:42) He said, and I never told him that I'm the one that signed it.
(16:45) Me and Joe. (16:46) We needed to get him out of there and get arrested, because I found that out from Officer (16:49) Bentley, because earlier that week, or a few days earlier. (16:53) He called that one where he banged a hole in the wall? (16:55) Yeah.
(16:55) Yeah. (16:56) And a couple of days earlier, Officer Bentley was there, I think on a Saturday, and we were (17:00) in the back hallway, because I started throwing him out, discussing the diapers are over the (17:04) Then he wants me to take them. (17:06) I remember.
(17:07) And I threw them out. (17:08) And then. (17:09) Yeah.
(17:10) And I went to open the back door, and I remember, oh yeah, the door was fixed. (17:14) And he said, Officer Bentley. (17:16) He goes, what do you mean? (17:17) I got a dog named Bentley.
(17:18) Dog, yeah. (17:19) Yeah, yeah. (17:19) So anyways, I open up the door and the damn hinge, I said, sorry, I fixed it.
(17:24) He says, what do you mean? (17:25) I said, I had to get the oversized screws to put in the damn thing, because Andy got (17:28) so mad, he ripped off the hinges on the damn thing. (17:30) And I says, how many houses? (17:32) We've been here for over 33 years, living in this house. (17:35) How many people do you know had to replace the front door five times since you've lived (17:42) there? (17:42) I have.
(17:43) Boy, he's hurt somebody. (17:44) He's done some damage. (17:45) Yeah, yeah.
(17:46) Over the years. (17:47) Former officers, when I was younger, were in these restraints. (17:50) Right.
(17:50) I remember those calls. (17:51) But he's the one that told me about the property thing. (17:53) So that's why when I figured, OK, the bed banging, when you came and everything, get (17:58) him in the house and get him the help he needs and all this.
(18:00) But the other thing is, I asked a member if he could be arrested for that, and he said (18:04) he sure can. (18:05) And well, somehow it leaked out to him, he claims. (18:08) He claims.
(18:08) Yeah. (18:09) He manipulated him. (18:10) That me and Joe got him arrested.
(18:12) No. (18:12) And he really been taking it out on us. (18:16) Just like he wants after my contact information with Joanne, because Joanne and Tracy are (18:24) all concerned.
(18:25) Yeah, they're very concerned. (18:26) They also think he needs to be in a facility. (18:28) Yeah.
(18:29) So this would be a faster way to get him in and get him the help than what Horizons is (18:34) doing, because... (18:34) Horizons will take a long time. (18:36) They're just starting to spin the wheels now, because we finally got three psychiatrists (18:41) and doctors. (18:42) And dad, it also comes down to Andy.
(18:44) If he doesn't give him, you know, the first help that he needs, because he's over 21, (18:52) he can deny medical treatment. (18:54) Well, that's what he was saying. (18:55) He actually could walk out of there if he don't want it.
(18:57) Yeah, he can walk out of there. (18:58) But he sounds like to them, unless he's feeding it to me today, that he's willing to do all (19:03) this stuff and do the medicine. (19:04) Yeah, you said that before.
(19:05) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (19:07) So we got a broken record with us, okay? (19:10) And when Andy's right, he's a great guy. (19:13) Yeah.
(19:13) Yeah, when he had the right medicine and everything, oh, he's very, very good. (19:16) You remember over the past year then how he drastically changed and how... (19:20) Listen, I've been out over his whole life. (19:21) I've been dealing with Andy my whole career.
(19:23) And not only that, Nathan Snow knew him from the time the boys were all born. (19:29) You know, they all kind of grew up together. (19:31) Some boy named Andy was away for three years.
(19:33) And like Nathan even says, you know, I can't... (19:36) He changed. (19:36) He says, Andy, one of the biggest things we had... (19:39) I met with Lieutenant Schultz several times too, you know. (19:44) And Mr. Schultz, he's shaking his head and everything.
(19:48) We can't understand. (19:49) Andy, in the last year and a half, you've changed. (19:51) You're not the same person.
(19:53) That's mental illness. (19:53) What the blank? (19:55) And Andy's denying it. (19:56) Like, what do you mean? (19:56) I've always been the same.
(19:57) No. (19:58) He's even claiming to the people that I hear him talking on the phone that he's always (20:01) wore diapers. (20:02) Even when he was almost assistant manager at McDonald's when he worked there for two (20:05) and a half years.
(20:06) Years ago. (20:07) This is one... (20:07) He didn't wear diapers then. (20:09) What's that? (20:09) He didn't wear diapers then.
(20:10) Hell no. (20:11) No. (20:11) He didn't even wear them in bed time.
(20:13) And all of a sudden, he started wearing them just at night time. (20:15) I think Greg has them all online. (20:18) On YouTube.
(20:18) On YouTube. (20:20) And it's just, you know. (20:21) He does.
(20:22) Because of questions. (20:24) I'm not supposed to be asking you questions. (20:26) I'm asking you to.
(20:27) Yeah, I know. (20:27) You don't want to do the statements. (20:29) You don't have to do the statements.
(20:29) I know. (20:30) You can still go and get them done anyways. (20:32) And I wouldn't blame you on that, but I need to show you something.
(20:35) Yeah, absolutely. (20:36) If I can find it now. (20:38) Where the hell is it? (20:38) Come on.
(20:40) He sent this one out today, and I don't know why. (20:42) I remember the one time when my mom got really, really scared when he first came back. (20:49) At first, it was only going to be a day.
(20:51) Because, you know, he couldn't get a housing unit. (20:53) Right. (20:54) And then that turned into a week and then weeks.
(20:57) Probably now he thinks he's going to stay there indefinitely. (21:00) I think it was this one today, Joe. (21:03) What's that? (21:03) He took pictures.
(21:05) Remember I told you he threw some of the wipes. (21:07) Oh, yeah, the diapers in the bathroom. (21:09) Yeah, and it was really, really, really gross.
(21:12) And he's claiming, well, that's because he had diarrhea. (21:18) Yeah, and I'm thinking to myself, how sick is that? (21:20) I had to show Jan that to my wife. (21:23) And I said, you know, Jan, this indicates a real, real problem.
(21:28) I said, because, you know, for one thing, I don't go for that. (21:31) Second of all, maybe it was showing you. (21:34) I mean, eventually.
(21:35) Yeah, this is the one. (21:37) I mean, this is the other thing that's kind of weird. (21:40) Blank's out.
(21:40) He's got a little video thing. (21:42) But then he's got his pill box. (21:44) He's got another picture and then another blank.
(21:47) And then where's the bathroom? (21:49) Yeah, it's on YouTube. (21:50) Really? (21:51) It's on YouTube also? (21:52) I didn't even go on that today. (21:53) I've been so darn busy, I don't know what's going on today.
(21:55) He puts you guys' laundry on there. (21:57) Out to dinner, everything. (21:59) Yeah.
(22:00) The other night we went to Burger King. (22:02) We told him we don't consent to being on YouTube. (22:08) Like me and Joe said, you know how it is.
(22:10) If you accidentally don't make it to the john a little bit, (22:13) and you get a little drip on your underwear, (22:14) you want to wash it up and change it. (22:16) Yeah, but him, he'll walk around with the thing sagging (22:19) and bragging about it in the house. (22:21) Ask Joe.
(22:22) That's probably why he's bleeding, because he's, you know. (22:25) Yeah, he's probably got some diaper rash. (22:27) Yeah.
(22:28) Yeah. (22:29) All right. (22:30) So what I'll do is start with you, Tommy.
(22:34) All right. (22:34) Yeah. (22:35) Andy wants to know why I'm investigating him.
(22:38) He doesn't have to know, okay? (22:41) Don't get baited tonight by him. (22:43) I don't intend to, because he's already questioning and worried. (22:47) He already wants to get an attorney.
(22:48) And he says because I'm his payee, I will have to retain and get an attorney (22:53) and all this other stuff for him. (22:54) Like you're investigating a fraud or something like that. (22:57) Yeah, that's fine.
(22:59) That would be something suspicious in a bank account. (23:01) Let's just get this started. (23:02) Oops.
(23:03) And then I'll have to let Social Security know (23:06) and I'll have to send the money back next month when he gets it. (23:09) Yeah, well, what about that phone? (23:11) Well, that's the only problem. (23:12) I'm stuck with that phone and the phone payment.
(23:15) No. (23:16) For the next two months. (23:18) It's in my name.
(23:19) Well, it's either that or he poisons your food and you die. (23:22) Yeah. (23:22) Yeah.
(23:23) You know. (23:24) Well, he somehow sabotages other phone that's like this. (23:28) Yeah.
(23:28) And he said it was because a Walmart family plan he had. (23:32) Yeah. (23:32) After he lost his privilege to have a family mobile or whatever one he had.
(23:39) They turned his phone off and he had to pay for the phone. (23:41) But anyways, they locked him out. (23:43) He couldn't get it restarted.
(23:44) And they kept borrowing mine and Jan's phone all the time. (23:47) And finally, he kept on talking to me. (23:49) Well, Dad, you've got an account with Spectrum and everything.
(23:53) Why don't you give me a mobile phone and get a mobile line and everything. (23:56) I says, why Andy? (23:57) We've got Verizon. (23:59) I don't want to do that.
(24:00) He says, well, because you don't have any credit notes. (24:02) And he bugged me and bugged my wife and wouldn't leave us alone. (24:08) And finally, I said, okay, every time I got my phone back, (24:12) he'd delete half my stuff on her, my apps and all this other.
(24:16) And I got a little fed up because things I had marked down, I don't even know. (24:20) So I said, fine. (24:22) I says, we'll go and get one for him.
(24:23) And then he got it. (24:25) And there was a 14-day trial period. (24:27) And, of course, he has to get the best one, you know, quote, unquote.
(24:31) The over $1,000 one. (24:34) So they got a plan in my name for $133 for 18 months. (24:40) That's including the payment of the phone.
(24:47) Guys' house was clean. (24:49) Everything was getting monocular. (24:51) And getting straightened out finally, little by little.
(24:53) And then all of a sudden, bingo. (24:55) Yeah, my dad didn't even get a chance to do the diapers (24:59) because my brother's been on them. (25:01) And I've been working.
(25:04) And that's something else entirely. (25:06) I just got to put some information in here. (25:10) And here's the strange part.
(25:11) Walmart Family Mobile called the other day saying that. (25:14) They've been calling recently. (25:17) They're going to close the account if you don't reply (25:20) because Andy filed a complaint or a lawsuit (25:24) against the Federal Communications Services.
(25:31) Yeah. (25:32) And when I heard that, I figured, okay, I think I better let Andy know (25:37) so that he can talk to him. (25:39) I think it was this one here.
(25:43) Yes, good morning, Mr. Jitsch. (25:45) My name is Teresa. (25:47) And I'm calling from TracFone Wireless corporate office in Miami, Florida.
(25:53) And now it's Walmart Family Mobile. (25:56) I'm calling regarding a complaint you filed with FCC (26:01) regarding your phone number, 716-416-8920. (26:08) If you can give me a call back.
(26:10) My number is 305-715-6500. (26:17) My extension is 6136. (26:20) I'm going to go ahead and send you a last email.
(26:24) I'm going to close the complaint. (26:26) But if you feel, because I've called you many times, (26:28) if you feel that you need my help still, give me a call back. (26:34) If not, well, the complaint is closed.
(26:36) Thank you and have a good day. (26:39) These phones are over $1,000. (26:41) Get it unlocked.
(26:42) At least you could sell it and get some type of refund on it and everything. (26:45) He completely ignored it and everything. (26:47) And I said, you know what? (26:48) He acted like he didn't want to get it unlocked (26:50) or like Joe and I discussed early in the morning when we go to work.
(26:55) You know, maybe he wouldn't give himself the excuse (27:00) so he could get the updated, the new one. (27:04) Because he's the type of person (27:05) that as soon as there's an update on another phone, he wants it. (27:09) And he wants it right away.
(27:11) And you don't need a phone every year. (27:15) Unbelievable. (27:16) Because there's like little changes between every year.
(27:18) Yeah, it's not significant enough. (27:22) Put your phone on the shelf. (27:25) He's got a lot of potential.
(27:26) He's got a lot of intelligence. (27:28) He knows a lot about law and all this stuff, electronics and all this. (27:32) I said, you know, Andy, you're just wasting your life.
(27:34) There's so many things you could be involved in doing. (27:37) Just put that to it. (27:38) But like I said, if he's got a mental thing, well, that's the problem.
(27:42) If we could get that mental problem out of him, he would be a person. (27:48) He's a person that needs help. (27:51) Sometimes this is the road you have to go.
(27:54) Like I told him, I really don't want to ever see him wind up getting in real, real trouble (28:00) like he did with his mother when she had the aneurysms in her head. (28:06) And we didn't know about it at the time. (28:08) And Andy had his fist right up to her face and his nose and screamed and yelled at the top of his lungs (28:13) because Andy couldn't talk.
(28:15) She couldn't answer his questions. (28:17) She couldn't get the words out. (28:20) I said, holy Christ's sake, you can't do that to a woman.
(28:23) That's got a lot of problems. (28:25) I've been warning my dad, too, that eventually Andy could be, like you said, (28:31) he may not mean it, but he could do something to him. (28:34) He could do something to him just to get him going.
(28:36) And it's something he can't take back. (28:38) Yeah. (28:39) All right, Joseph, I'm going to start with you, okay? (28:41) Make sure I have your birthday right.
(28:42) 4-27-1988? (28:44) Yep. (28:48) I mean, I'm not home all the time, but I'm home enough to know what's going on. (28:53) How's Walmart? (28:55) Getting busy.
(28:56) Yeah, holiday time. (28:58) You're going to be helping soon. (29:00) Yeah.
(29:02) Yeah, I was missing a couple days of work because, you know, (29:08) not only that, I was missing a couple days of work because I'm afraid for my parents with my brother. (29:13) That's what my wife was telling me, too. (29:16) She said, Joe's been staggering off.
(29:18) What? (29:19) Oh, yeah, she knows. (29:20) I don't know if she remembers or not. (29:23) Sometimes she, her memory goes.
(29:25) Oh. (29:26) And it's like, I'll remind her later on. (29:29) Because, like she said, she doesn't say very much.
(29:32) We used to have good conversations and discussions and everything. (29:36) There's not much happening anymore. (29:37) But a lot of times it's 20 hours in a day.
(29:41) And I have to do almost about everything for her. (29:45) I try to get her out once in a while as much as I can. (29:48) When I can get her dressed, get her out.
(29:49) There's times she won't even go. (29:52) Wow.
