Uh the other guy, the guy that came, the called is this guy. Mhm. Uh >> He said they've been following around >> They follow They follow him to different places. They have keys and they go in. He says, I asked him, "Hey, do you have the keys?" I said, "No, it was left open." I want to do is if I want to check the keys, make sure that they don't they don't have it. You know, do they have it? >> Are there any that you're in need of? Obviously they want to look at the oil. The oil, that's going to be how we're going to take that. Did they have any type of burglary tools because you rolled up on this you have your Not that I could Not that I could see. Uh Mhm. No, no, yeah, I know. To uh JK or ANJ freaking >> to send a page to like they get in the car in the commission Commission of crime. Yeah, it's a it's Well, you got the You got the pump, you got the tankers. Pump and tank, everything is open. He was He was driving. He's the driver. >> the um the oil What do you really want here? No, we can't They didn't give me my keys. It's in the yellow thing, bro.

I'm 51 years old. I'm not trying to be Yeah, man. I In the van, in the yellow container. We're good. We're good. You want them now or you want to If you turn that van on What you got? Call me back in the next few minutes or whatever. >> Does he have the contract for this? No, he doesn't. That's the problem. He has the contract for whatever that company name is. Labeled on on one of similar grease traps. You're saying that's the company responsible. So, where is this stuff back here? This is Dar- Darling. Darling. What is this one? It's cold. Liggins is going to come with us. He has a warrant. Yeah. At least one. And this is all coming with us. Brand new. That's brand new. That's what they told me. Okay. But This is this is not what you do. This is not how you This is not how you take any of this. I told him as soon as possible that's where I'm seeing with them. So, hopefully they call me in the next 2 minutes. >> Who's Who's business is this? It's that one. It's life cycle renewals. He keeps So We don't know We don't I don't know. Huh? Yeah, you could do that. Yeah. If you get me that info, that's great. Nah, nah. You know that's low. So I didn't say. What's it at right now? Yeah, about 35. All right. 35 cents. 35 cents. I'll figure this out. Animal feed. Yeah, that's what I know. I mean, it's really not too much. You guys have an EPA number? Cuz this is technically it's hazardous. >> not. It's not It's not hazardous. It's considered used. Yeah. It's not hazardous. You don't need no permit, no none of that. Mhm. Okay. What about VIN number? Mhm. You need that. You don't need that either. Okay. Listen, first and foremost, the only people that are supposed to take the the oil are the companies' names that are on there. And it doesn't matter what the permission of whatever it is. See, that's That's the That's the confusion of it all. >> There's no confusion. There's no confusion. >> of Listen, if I give you a contract and you will have um They don't subcontract. I'll tell you this right now. All companies don't subcontract. >> If I give a person a contract and they already have the utensil here there's no need for me to drop one off. You understand what I'm saying? Where's the contract? Like say for instance Say for instance you work for like a Popeyes and I come in and say, you know, do you have trap service, grease service or whatever and you already have a drum? I'm sorry. There's no need for me to drop one off. You see what I'm saying? All this is It's only contractual isn't it? And it's not bonded. But the the fact of the matter is that you're using >> a can I don't need to drop one off. The fact of the matter is using somebody else's can. If I'm this company right? I'm this company Yeah. and you utilizing my can right? To collect grease, but another company is sucking it out to make a profit >> That's the restaurant's Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on. No, that's not a profit. Hold up. Hold up. No, no, no. What restaurant is actually using Start there. We don't even know because last time Last Don't you see the problem when we say we give you permission we don't even know the right That's what I'm saying. But see, that's the that's the whole point about the business. Yeah, just the restaurant that but other than that we Huh? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Someone's going to Someone's back. Yeah, see most most most clients be like Mhm? He gets a call back or both. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you can continue. Sorry I cut you off. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's like most clients they be like, you know, you use this one or If it's bad the problem is bad I I change it. How long you been doing this business?

He's the one that's supposed to pull the the oil not from here. Not from He doesn't know whose it is. He doesn't know whose it is.
