Speaker 1: would go to edible arrangements. We would order like a
Speaker 1: like one hundred dollars bouquet and then when they were
Speaker 1: boxing up like no, no, no, we're gonna eat here, and
Speaker 1: we would just sit down in the front there there
Speaker 1: was not there's not like a table, but we just
Speaker 1: start eating the bouquet and we just eat as much
Speaker 1: as we could. And there they and they would act like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know some people do that.
Speaker 2: Babes. We had jobs were people's worst nightmares.

Speaker 1: cherry chip? I have not tried cherry chip for the kids.
Speaker 1: It's a Duncan Hines box. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: still make it or not. I think it might have
Speaker 1: been replaced by the Sprinkles uh cake, But they used
Speaker 1: to do cherry chip. I used to like that one. Dylan,
Speaker 1: did you do anything for Valentine's Day? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Watched Pride and Prejudice for the first time for me.
Speaker 1: Love, for me, in love. I mean, I just tell
Speaker 1: you I couldn't have been happier with Valentine's Day. I
Speaker 1: got away with not buying anything though. That was that
Speaker 1: was I wasn't gonna get I'm like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: buy you flowers right now, that's so dumb. Why am
Speaker 1: I buying flowers of Valentine's Day when every week at
Speaker 1: the farmer's market we buy flowers.
Speaker 2: Right way better flowers.
Speaker 1: The house has flowers in it. The flowers are expensive too.
Speaker 1: I know eggs, the price has dropped ever since Trump
Speaker 1: took over, But Flowers, I need him to fix that
Speaker 1: next now that he's got eggs. But I'm teasing about
Speaker 1: the our eggs cheap? Are they still expensive? They're really expensive? Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't believe that hasn't been fixed yet. Well, at
Speaker 1: least he got the wall done. You know what time
Speaker 1: of the year it is. Now, now that Valentine's has done,
Speaker 1: it's time for tax time. Tax time. Gotta get rid
Speaker 1: of the taxes. How can you live in California with
Speaker 1: those taxes? I love going on. This is my new
Speaker 1: favorite thing to kind of poke. The bear is ranting
Speaker 1: on how much I love California to the listeners that
Speaker 1: don't love California. By way, have you spent real time
Speaker 1: in California, people that constantly shit on it, Because I've
Speaker 1: spent real time in your horrible towns. I've toured for
Speaker 1: thirty years. I was born in a different country. My
Speaker 1: parents traveled constantly. I moved fifteen times before I was
Speaker 1: in high school. I know the other places. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you should give my opinion a little bit more weight.
Speaker 1: I've been poor in California. I've been rich in California. Okay. Oh,
Speaker 1: but the wildfires and the earthquakes just so expensive. The housing.
Speaker 1: You can't buy a house that just through the roof.
Speaker 1: That's why everyone's leaving to Florida. Okay, but don't say
Speaker 1: Florida is better. Florida is awful. I've lived there, and
Speaker 1: they have to have no income tax to entice people
Speaker 1: to live there. Imagine if Florida was so expensive, like
Speaker 1: they had huge taxes, you think people would be going
Speaker 1: there now. But California the most populated state by a
Speaker 1: and it's expensive.
Speaker 2: I wonder why.
Speaker 1: Maybe what my father told me as a child actually
Speaker 1: is true. You get what you pay for. Oh, there's
Speaker 1: no income tax in Florida. This is too good to
Speaker 1: be true. Oh, you're right, it is, because there's also
Speaker 1: hurricanes and red tide. Do you ever dealt with red tide?
Speaker 1: I remember that as a kid, I couldn't go outside
Speaker 1: for two weeks without just choking on the air. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's not forget no sims. That's always fun. How about
Speaker 1: the fact that the entire state is a swamp and
Speaker 1: every puddle has an alligator in it, But there's no tax.
Speaker 1: Did I mention the pollen?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: The pollen in Florida. It's lovely. It's on Zyrtac every
Speaker 1: day in my life. You get what you pay for. Okay,
Speaker 1: California's great, it's expensive. Well, yeah, it's because it's great, right.
Speaker 1: Florida's garbage and there's no income tax. Oh huh. Kind
Speaker 1: of makes sense when you like that.
Speaker 2: It's all adding up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Listen, guys, I can talk taxes all day long.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm excited for today's guest. Enjoy Pasha, my
Speaker 1: guest today knows every Excel shortcut there is. So make
Speaker 1: sure you've got all your ten ninety nine's and W
Speaker 1: two's in order as we kick off tax season. Now.
Speaker 1: If you haven't turned the show off yet out of boredom,
Speaker 1: then please welcome my producer's accountant, John.
Speaker 2: Hi. How are you doing, Daniel? John?
Speaker 1: I'm doing good, and thank you for being here. We'll
Speaker 1: get into the accounting stuff later because the other stuff
Speaker 1: is way more interesting to me.
Speaker 2: Do you believe in ghost Oh? Yeah, you do, but
Speaker 2: I would say more spirits. I wouldn't call them ghosts.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want my accountant believing in
Speaker 1: any of this, I want.
Speaker 2: Them buy the books. The whole way. Growing up in Torrents.
Speaker 2: What was that like? It was pretty interesting. I got
Speaker 2: to see a lot of changes.
Speaker 1: Do you still live in the area, still live in
Speaker 1: the area?
Speaker 2: Not? No, with Torrents from Madonna Beach.
Speaker 1: Do you consider torrent South Bay? Yeah, oh yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I always feel like they've glombed on. They get that
Speaker 1: tiny little sliver that hits the water and they say
Speaker 1: that there's South Bay.
Speaker 2: But I'm like, well, there's the beach cities and then
Speaker 2: there's South Bay.
Speaker 1: Okay, by the way, growing up in Torrents middle class,
Speaker 1: you did not tons of wealth.
Speaker 2: No, No, it was really interesting. I would see at
Speaker 2: one point upper middle class because when I was younger,
Speaker 2: I had a chance at a race motocross, and I think
Speaker 2: pretty much all my dad's extra money went towards allowing
Speaker 2: me to go racing. And he was a general contractor
Speaker 2: to framing contractor, and then he decided he wanted to
Speaker 2: do that anymore. He just decided he wanted to be
Speaker 2: a craftsman and just have his own private shop and
Speaker 2: do small projects. And we pivoted. I remember he said, listen,
Speaker 2: we can't go racing anymore. Got me an apple tude
Speaker 2: computer and a surfboard and said, hey, figure figure out
Speaker 2: how to use this thing to play video games.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's very dangerous. Do you ever have
Speaker 1: any of your death experiences on that bike?
Speaker 2: I had a couple experiences, yeah.
Speaker 1: Just racing. Or did you do any of that freestyle
Speaker 1: stuff in the air?
Speaker 2: No, no freestyle stuff. So I pretty much rode motors
Speaker 2: across when I was from seven years old to almost
Speaker 2: twelve and really excelled at these age seven to eleven
Speaker 2: year olds and the eighty CC expert in mini categories.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that world other than it
Speaker 1: was probably exciting.
Speaker 2: Just think of it as like junior motocrossers. Do you
Speaker 2: do you ever BEMX? Oh? Yeah, I loved it, absolutely
Speaker 2: loved it.
Speaker 1: Do you love the movie Rad?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: That was good. It's the right answer. When'd you start surfing? Oh?
Speaker 2: God, about twelve years old?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And where was the first place you served?
Speaker 2: Avenue Y Inverydondo.
Speaker 1: It was an eighties early eighties cold and wet suits
Speaker 1: were horrible. Did you have a wet suit?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I see my dad serfed with my older
Speaker 2: brother and they were surfing in the late seventies Jerry
Speaker 2: Lopez was great and fantastic. I remember my dad tried
Speaker 2: to get me on a surple where at Dohani Beach,
Speaker 2: trying to get out there and having fun, but I
Speaker 2: didn't have a wet suit. It was cold, it was
Speaker 2: freezing cold. Then I got into got a wet suit
Speaker 2: and got a Boggie board and I loved it, absolutely
Speaker 2: loved it. I remember my first really good ride. Uh huh, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm a beach park okay, in the summer. It was great.
Speaker 1: I grew up surfing and I've been I've served throughout
Speaker 1: the world, never had a bad experience, you know that.
Speaker 1: I couldn't handle. The only place in my life that
Speaker 1: I've ever been taken out of the water physically and
Speaker 1: like told not was Redondo Breakwater.
Speaker 2: That's funny, isn't that crazy? That is funny. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: That is crazy.
Speaker 1: Those guys were like and it was like it was
Speaker 1: just two of them out and I went out and
Speaker 1: they were like that it said. They started dropping in
Speaker 1: on me and then they like literally like ushered me
Speaker 1: to my car, like you tell you and your homies
Speaker 1: never to come here, and I'm like, oh, I just
Speaker 1: moved here from Florida. I don't have any homies.
Speaker 2: Was it was it a really big day or a
Speaker 2: medium like a small day head high? Okay, that's probably
Speaker 2: why interesting. Yeah, if it's big, they'll let you go out. Well,
Speaker 2: you know what.
Speaker 1: I never went back because I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I don't care about your garbage waves.
Speaker 2: It's a great wave when it's like this last winter
Speaker 2: and around December it was fantastic, phenomenal is it?
Speaker 1: It seems to but it's got to be huge, like, okay, huge,
Speaker 1: it's like dangerously big. I didn't like it, and I
Speaker 1: didn't care, and I was like, whatever, you guys idiots,
Speaker 1: enjoy your shitty wave. People are so mean. That's the
Speaker 1: problem with surfing. I've always thought that about surfing. I've
Speaker 1: loved everything about surfing except the surfers. I'm like, why
Speaker 1: do you guys have to act like this? The vibes
Speaker 1: are always always they always bother me anyway, not every place.
Speaker 1: Did you see the transformation of like Laduna Bay turn
Speaker 1: into what it is? Or was it always like that?
Speaker 1: The palace verdees, the locals.
Speaker 2: That like wouldn't allow anyone to ever surf their wave.
Speaker 2: It's always been like that.
Speaker 1: Did you ever surf it?
Speaker 2: I have a special spot I don't disclose. That's kind
Speaker 2: of on the south side of bay. Haggarty's points were
Speaker 2: really good.
Speaker 1: Haggarty's is great. Oh yeah, I've served Haggarty. He's just
Speaker 1: almost perfect.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And what was the fun part is night
Speaker 2: surfing hacks?
Speaker 1: No, I don't, I don't don't enjoy that. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite surf spot that you've served in the entire planet?
Speaker 2: Plunt roca at La Liberta in El El Salvador. Best
Speaker 2: way I've ever ever got right or left. It's all right,
Speaker 2: point break, point break. It's better than ring con and
Speaker 2: more consistent.
Speaker 1: Well sure, it's not consistent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's one of them. Warm and very warm,
Speaker 2: very warm. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Who didn't love a warm right before?
Speaker 2: When I when I was really being into surfing in
Speaker 2: my thirties, I was going to El Salvadore. I think
Speaker 2: we went like eight times.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have any uh scary experiences while traveling
Speaker 1: abroad for surfing? You're like, uh, oh, put ourselves in
Speaker 1: a bad situation here.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so I got a good good So we're
Speaker 2: in El Salvador and we were coming back where we had.
Speaker 2: We had a big uh, we had like a Nissan pickup.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden we come to ours like a
Speaker 2: makeshift roadblock. Yes, I've been there, and this was not
Speaker 2: an official block. This was just a bunch of guys
Speaker 2: with M sixteen's that look like teenagers. Okay, we got
Speaker 2: really nervous and started sweating. All of a sudden they
Speaker 2: stopped the truck, get out and start talking to us
Speaker 2: and all this stuff, and all they wanted was a
Speaker 2: ride into town to see if they could take a
Speaker 2: couple extra guys. And then we were just like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, okay, yeah, sure, no problem dropping the back
Speaker 2: of the truck. So then we got a ride into
Speaker 2: town with three military guys with M sixteen's.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've been in a few places where they've had
Speaker 1: the makeshift roadblock where it's just a chain dragged across
Speaker 1: the road. You have to stop, and then I and
Speaker 1: my broken Spanish just like open my wallet and like
Speaker 1: say like, oh, does twenty make that chain go away?
Speaker 1: And usually it does, and then I'm like on my
Speaker 1: way and like hey, and then everybody's good.
Speaker 2: But you're always like so I don't mess around. So
Speaker 2: was this in Bajac Helpha. I've done.
Speaker 1: I've done a few few of those encounters in Mexico.
Speaker 2: Yeah. See, I wouldn't go to bog California anymore after
Speaker 2: forty years old, I said, in no way. I brought
Speaker 2: my family last year. But I can tell you. But
Speaker 2: the other thing is Mexico's We spent a lot of
Speaker 2: time in the mainland Mexican, like Mexico City, all the
Speaker 2: major cities, Monterey, beautiful country, beautiful city, I know, like
Speaker 2: super nice, the best food in the world. It's really greed. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love everything about it.
Speaker 1: I think you know, I'm excited for for when it
Speaker 1: becomes part of America.
Speaker 2: Well, they got to change the golf, right. I don't
Speaker 2: know how they're gonna like, how they're gonna feel about that.
Speaker 1: They'll be fine, They'll be fine, They'll love it. You
Speaker 1: still surfer, No, you got injured a little bit, a
Speaker 1: little bit old man.
Speaker 2: Surf now, old man surf?
Speaker 1: Now do you do like old man? Like rich? Travel?
Speaker 2: Boat and trips? Oh? I wish if I would have,
Speaker 2: but I had a ankle injury when doing motocross. So
Speaker 2: that's my other passion, motocross and motorsports.
Speaker 1: And accounting.
Speaker 2: Trinity.
Speaker 1: How did you get into account.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I was really good at computers, uh huh,
Speaker 2: And nobody knew how to use computers that well in accounting,
Speaker 2: and I said, oh my god, this is Greatnot I
Speaker 2: know how to do this. So I was kind of
Speaker 2: like early early nineties, and I don't want to be
Speaker 2: a computer programmer. I thought, oh my god, that's just
Speaker 2: will you tell I might as well become an accountant,
Speaker 2: And the rest is history actually went. When I went
Speaker 2: to business school, I saw a really great opportunity, kind
Speaker 2: of the shifting towards using technology to really speed things
Speaker 2: up and be efficient, and just latched onto that and
Speaker 2: used the skills that had in technology and computers and
Speaker 2: just applied it to accounting and never looked back.
Speaker 1: By the way, you went to Loyla Mahrmont, you grew
Speaker 1: up in torrent and then you transferred to cal State
Speaker 1: Long Beach. Have you ever been outside of your thirty
Speaker 1: mile zone?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I had the opportunity to go to Indonesia and
Speaker 2: I was working for a nice guy at a palace
Speaker 2: for aries while I was in college, and he sent
Speaker 2: me there was a job opportunity, and I learned what
Speaker 2: I was going to be near bawling. I'll go if
Speaker 2: I could take three weeks off after the project.
Speaker 1: How long is the project? Oh?
Speaker 2: The project was like two three weeks and I got
Speaker 2: to spend a month in Indonesia, serve a place called
Speaker 2: groggan Gland and lived in Bali for two three months.
Speaker 1: I mean that's amazing.
Speaker 2: Oh, it was amazing.
Speaker 1: And that is that a better because right now it's
Speaker 1: like it's it's too crowded, But then I'm guessing it's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: What was funny is I had a job off from
Speaker 2: the guys wanted me to stay, and I said, look,
Speaker 2: I'd got to go back and finish college.
Speaker 1: You should have stayed. I think everything about you is
Speaker 1: cool except the job. Is there anything cool about accounting?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So the funny thing is most of my time
Speaker 2: isn't doing really accounting. It's talking to people about their lives.
Speaker 2: It's sitting there just talking to them and asking them, Hey,
Speaker 2: what happened this year, what's going on? What transactions did
Speaker 2: you have financially that impacted you?
Speaker 1: Are you trying to beat the system? At all times, we.
Speaker 2: Try to push, We try to make sure that people
Speaker 2: don't pay any more taxes than I legally have to,
Speaker 2: but we want to keep them out of jail.
Speaker 1: Well, you said the only person your father respected was
Speaker 1: his accountant. Now, I don't want to play like an
Speaker 1: armchair psychiatrist here, but does any party you think that
Speaker 1: you got into this pression to gain your father's respect?
Speaker 2: Oh after the fact, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you do your parents' taxes?
Speaker 2: Yeah? After I started going to college and took a
Speaker 2: couple of classes and a taxation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they let you see what they made. Because
Speaker 1: my dad. If I ever asked my father, even when
Speaker 1: I was older, how much do you make or enough?
Speaker 1: None of your business? What are you a cop? Those
Speaker 1: are the answers I got from my father. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a cop. Dad.
Speaker 2: I always say, I don't think that I had to
Speaker 2: really worry about that.
Speaker 1: They're just so my dad was so weird about it,
Speaker 1: and it's like my dad had, like, you know, a
Speaker 1: very middle class family. I always end up getting like
Speaker 1: years down the road money back because I've overpaid, and
Speaker 1: I talked to my accounts, I'm like, guys, why are
Speaker 1: we so conservative all the time that they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you paid too much, and they're like, no, that's what
Speaker 1: we do. I'm terrified of jail though, the idea of jail.
Speaker 2: No no, no. I use that expression because I try to
Speaker 2: terrify clients. So that's the main thing is we want
Speaker 2: to make sure that you don't get audit. You don't
Speaker 2: want the nasty letters and liar. I've been audited twice. Well,
Speaker 2: there you go.
Speaker 1: Here's here's what I've learned. Tell me it's true or false.
Speaker 1: They used to say that audits were completely random. Then
Speaker 1: they realized that the IRS it's wasting too much money
Speaker 1: auditing poor people, so they stopped that, and now they
Speaker 1: do audit just the wealthy.
Speaker 2: Oh no, On the contrary, they audit wealthy, they audit
Speaker 2: people randomly, and they audit poor people. Okay, but you're
Speaker 2: but you are saying, and I'm going to say, not
Speaker 2: poor people. Well they do is audit. Let's say you're
Speaker 2: in the Malibu zip code and then you show that
Speaker 2: you make ten thousand dollars and you don't pay any taxes.
Speaker 2: How is it that you can afford to live in
Speaker 2: Malibu or you know, in the beach communities and not
Speaker 2: pay any taxes.
Speaker 1: I don't know, ask Pierre.
Speaker 2: Well, there you go. So what they do is they're
Speaker 2: looking for those people that wait a sec. You got
Speaker 2: two houses, you got these cars, you got those you
Speaker 2: got all these assets, and you live in a nice neighborhood,
Speaker 2: but you don't show that you have any income.
Speaker 1: But then they also just randomly and.
Speaker 2: Then they randomly picked people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was surprised the amount of time. It took
Speaker 1: a ton of time and they didn't find anything. But
Speaker 1: then they started actually going like, oh, you took a
Speaker 1: jet to your show in Vegas. Was everybody that sat
Speaker 1: on that jet part of your job? It was just crazy,
Speaker 1: how like needling they were trying to get for me,
Speaker 1: that's their job. No, it isn't a bunch of jerks.
Speaker 1: Do you like to say something just didn't adding up
Speaker 1: or do you prefer fudge the numbers or cook the books?
Speaker 2: I would say things don't add up, we need to
Speaker 2: fix this. How many something's not right here?
Speaker 1: How many times have you been like this, something just
Speaker 1: doesn't adding.
Speaker 2: Up, It doesn't smell right, it doesn't pass the smell tests.
Speaker 2: How many shredders do you own it? You're off, Oh,
Speaker 2: we don't really shred everything. We just collected and then
Speaker 2: we take it to the shrudder every two three months.
Speaker 1: I just didn't know if you guys had like a
Speaker 1: system like a press a button. Guys, they're coming get
Speaker 1: rid of everything. This is what this is what I
Speaker 1: want my accountant to be, like, I'm w on my
Speaker 1: account to go go.
Speaker 2: Is the IRS broken or no? It give you some fixing.
Speaker 2: It give you some fixing. What are some of the
Speaker 2: red flags the IRS is looking for when looking at
Speaker 2: someone's returns? Disproportionate expenses. Somebody say they they put down
Speaker 2: they made ten thousand dollars a small project, and then
Speaker 2: they try to write off fifty.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I know that I sent it. Because I
Speaker 1: will spend almost every cent I make to travel places
Speaker 1: that I want to go to. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: come out. Even that's fine, but why are you traveling
Speaker 1: to go to the place like a vacation that's paid for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's got to be business. It's got to
Speaker 2: be for business.
Speaker 1: I'm traveling for business. But the only reason I'm I
Speaker 1: will do a show some places because it's a place
Speaker 1: that my family wants to go. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Stand up comedy, that's all I do. So if I
Speaker 1: wanted my wife wants to go to Portugal. I'm going
Speaker 1: to do a show in Lisbon for the ex pats.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, now, if you're doing the show there, I am, yeah,
Speaker 2: and okay sure right.
Speaker 1: All of the money that that show makes, I spend
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty percent to do the trip. That's
Speaker 1: a red flag.
Speaker 2: Well, it depends on your overall income.
Speaker 1: The income's not there anymore. I'm just living off I'm
Speaker 1: living off the savings.
Speaker 2: So Dirus is going to if they did come talk
Speaker 2: to you and they say, Daniel, we need to speak
Speaker 2: to you, They're going to ask you, so, how many
Speaker 2: days was it for business? Well, one night and how
Speaker 2: many days did you stay?
Speaker 1: Fourteen?
Speaker 2: Okay, and then they're gonna disallow it. You're in trouble.
Speaker 1: You serious? Ah, that's bad. In twenty twenty five, in
Speaker 1: La is it better to rent or buy a home?
Speaker 2: Rent?
Speaker 1: Why is the county so complicated and confusing in this country?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a great question. So it's because politicians write
Speaker 2: the laws, not accountants.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you actually enjoy your job? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. Inter The best part of my job
Speaker 2: again is their relationships and talking to clients and finding
Speaker 2: out what's going on and really kind of becoming part
Speaker 2: of people's family. Over years and years of doing their taxes.
Speaker 1: How often are they changing the laws the tax laws but.
Speaker 2: Every two years but at least every new president.
Speaker 1: Are things going to get great for us? Now, for
Speaker 1: us wealthy people, I wouldn't say that, because California is
Speaker 1: going to get their taxes no matter what.
Speaker 2: Well, you got two issues. You've got California taxes, which
Speaker 2: is some of the highest taxes in the nation. You know,
Speaker 2: you get the combination of your state taxes and your
Speaker 2: federal taxes. It can be a lot.
Speaker 1: If I have a property in let's just say, hypothetically
Speaker 1: in Nevada, how much do I have to actually live
Speaker 1: there to stop paying California.
Speaker 2: Taxes over one hundred and eighty five days.
Speaker 1: And then I can Then I can pull out of
Speaker 1: California completely.
Speaker 2: Now you have that has to be the place where
Speaker 2: you hang your hat, So you got to live there,
Speaker 2: hang your hat there, vote there, have a driver's license there,
Speaker 2: have your cars there, have kids go to school there.
Speaker 2: That's the tough one. Yeah, that's the real tough one.
Speaker 2: You had me.
Speaker 1: I could pull off almost all of that until you
Speaker 1: said school you can't have your kids go to school
Speaker 1: in Carson City.
Speaker 2: You could if you wanted to be gunslingers.
Speaker 1: Oh that's nictally not a bad idea. How many Social
Speaker 1: Security numbers do you have the ability to sell on
Speaker 1: the dark web?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Zero?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Look at that? What's your favorite number?
Speaker 2: Eight?
Speaker 1: That's the dumbest question, and I'm glad you answered it.
Speaker 1: If we needed a way to drastically simplify the tax
Speaker 1: codes across the board, what would your pitch.
Speaker 2: Be get rid of? Alterna minimum tax?
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 2: It's a complicated extra formula that accountants have to go
Speaker 2: through and figure out your tax returns and eliminate all
Speaker 2: your deductions and reader your taxes and you have to
Speaker 2: pay a minimum tax.
Speaker 1: Do you want that that eliminated?
Speaker 2: Oh that'd be great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you hate Ben Franklin for saying there's nothing certain
Speaker 1: except for death and taxes?
Speaker 2: No? No, it's helping my business.
Speaker 1: Well, how do income taxes work in other countries? Do
Speaker 1: they have a more simple system?
Speaker 2: Some? Actually they do, but they also pay a lot
Speaker 2: more taxes. Believe it or not, United States doesn't have
Speaker 2: that bad a taxes when you compare to Europe.
Speaker 1: I've always just wrapped my head around I'm going to
Speaker 1: lose fifty percent of every dollar I make, and I'm
Speaker 1: kind of like, okay with that. That's a lot, I know,
Speaker 1: but I'm okay with it. I'm like, if I can
Speaker 1: live off fifty percent of what every dollar I make,
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna be okay. So that was that was
Speaker 1: kind of the goal.
Speaker 2: Okay, you may want to talk to your account I
Speaker 2: don't want to talk to him. Maybe he does knock
Speaker 2: to you, that's a problem.
Speaker 1: It's just a long conversation. And then I don't have
Speaker 1: to pretend like I understand stuff, and I don't.
Speaker 2: Take him surfing.
Speaker 1: They don't serve. They're not those kind of accounts that
Speaker 1: Charlie don't serve. No, Charlie don't serve. Is there any
Speaker 1: new laws on the books this year that you're excited about.
Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of changes coming up.
Speaker 1: Do you have to pass new tests when when they
Speaker 1: change things or just be familiar with the law.
Speaker 2: Actually got to have forty hours of continue education every single.
Speaker 1: Year, every year?
Speaker 2: Every year? Oh oh yeah, cool? That alone?
Speaker 1: Would they already not want to be an accountant?
Speaker 2: Every year?
Speaker 1: Having to do forty hours. How long does that take? Well,
Speaker 1: sometimes you break it up into like like a month.
Speaker 2: Oh well, you could do it all over the year.
Speaker 2: But now you get a travel for it too.
Speaker 1: Oh some nerd convention. Is that what you're talking about?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, where is this held?
Speaker 2: Oh? They got them all over the United States. You
Speaker 2: can go to the probably the Beast. Probably the best
Speaker 2: one that used to go to was in the South
Speaker 2: shore of Hawaii on Honolulu.
Speaker 1: Oh. Yeah, you guys are living it up. Yeah, try to.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: I think I was able to sneak away, dur and
Speaker 2: break and get a couple of waves.
Speaker 1: Do you look down on people who use TurboTax?
Speaker 2: No? Should people be, But I kind of feel bad
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: It's just because they just don't know and they don't
Speaker 2: know what kind of trouble they're getting themselves into. Nobody
Speaker 2: should do their own tax, says god, nobody that has
Speaker 2: make some money. What's the cutoff where it's like, okay,
Speaker 2: you need you need to hire a professional accountant to
Speaker 2: do your taxes at what what? Uh?
Speaker 1: Income level?
Speaker 2: I would say if you have the income level to
Speaker 2: afford a house, then you should be getting somebody to
Speaker 2: do your tax.
Speaker 1: Okay, it makes sense.
Speaker 2: You got investments, you have stocks, you're starting to douce
Speaker 2: rental properties. You know, things are starting to get a
Speaker 2: little more complicated.
Speaker 1: Did your job basically to outsmart the IRS every year?
Speaker 2: No, it's basically just helping clients so that they don't
Speaker 2: get in trouble.
Speaker 1: How late can you actually file? I feel like I
Speaker 1: never file. I always get an extension every single year?
Speaker 2: Is that normal? I wouldn't recommend it. I'd recommend filing
Speaker 2: on time.
Speaker 1: Like every year. They're like, yeah, no, you get, we
Speaker 1: get your extending.
Speaker 2: You know, but you're lucky this year.
Speaker 1: Why things changed?
Speaker 2: The government is giving relief to anybody in La.
Speaker 1: County because of the fires.
Speaker 2: Because of the fires.
Speaker 1: Oh what are these these people? I mean, do you hate?
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that you've experienced people that have had total
Speaker 1: losses before. I mean, what do they do?
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of questions, a lot of
Speaker 2: challenges because the IRS does let you write off losses
Speaker 2: if you're out of pocket. So if you're actually out
Speaker 2: of pocket money from the loss, you're gonna be able
Speaker 2: to take that as tax right offs. Okay, So there's
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of people at the Palisades fire
Speaker 2: and the Alta Dinga fire. Are they're gonna need help?
Speaker 1: Where are you on taxing churches in this country. I'm
Speaker 1: a huge believer in any church that has over one
Speaker 1: hundred people that go to it should be taxed. These
Speaker 1: megachurches where the snake oil salesman rolls around in like
Speaker 1: a Bentley, I'm like, this is nonsense. You don't want
Speaker 1: to get yourself in trouble.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna stay off that one.
Speaker 1: I don't want. I think the churches should be taxes.
Speaker 1: The Church of Scientology, that's just complete nonsense. No pastor
Speaker 1: should drive in anything nicer than a Honda Accord. That's
Speaker 1: what I say. That's my barometer for if your church
Speaker 1: is making too much money? What about tax taxing crypto?
Speaker 2: What about crypto?
Speaker 1: Do you have any clients that are invested into crypto?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I do. It's a challenge, I mean, it's it.
Speaker 2: Do you is it real? First?
Speaker 1: First question? Is it real?
Speaker 2: Is it real? Yeah? It's real.
Speaker 1: I mean do you have do you understand it completely?
Speaker 1: Are you invested in crypto?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I have some crypto.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, all right, billionaires, Are they getting taxed heavily enough?
Speaker 2: Or no? Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh brother.
Speaker 2: See people don't realize you're a homeowner and you have
Speaker 2: you have probably have rental property. You pay all these
Speaker 2: property taxes. You don't think billionaires pay taxes. They just
Speaker 2: pay in other forms. They paid in payroll taxes, they
Speaker 2: paid in property taxes. They're supporting the community with their
Speaker 2: infrastructure and giving jobs and doing a lot of different things.
Speaker 2: But it's interesting that when you talk about taxes, the
Speaker 2: problem is we got too much taxes at the low level,
Speaker 2: meaning why are we paying so much in gas? I
Speaker 2: went to Florida. I think it was like two dollars
Speaker 2: and thirty cents a gallon. We make the gas here
Speaker 2: in California. We've got Chevron mobile arcle here and it's
Speaker 2: like classified dollars a gallon.
Speaker 1: Why it's the taxes. Let me tell you something. If
Speaker 1: you want to spend more time driving around in Florida,
Speaker 1: all the power to you. As someone who is from
Speaker 1: there and has all their family there, I think the
Speaker 1: gas should be cheaper to encourage people to get the
Speaker 1: fuck out. Most places in the world, you buy a
Speaker 1: home and it's a good investment and thirty years later
Speaker 1: it's worth more. And that's not true in Florida. All
Speaker 1: the time. Florida, you can buy a home and in
Speaker 1: thirty years it's worth the exact same or less because
Speaker 1: they built a brand new subdivision just right next to it,
Speaker 1: and they're like a hey, now let's just make this.
Speaker 1: These houses look completely shitty and there's the new shiny subdivision.
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, they have no income taxes, but
Speaker 1: there's some other taxes there that they have you on
Speaker 1: the hook for. Talk about some of the dumb things
Speaker 1: your clients have tried to write off that You're like, guys,
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna fly.
Speaker 2: Probably their dog. What do you mean? So like, can
Speaker 2: I claim my dog is a dependent?
Speaker 1: Oh? That sounds like Pete over there.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't think we're the right fit.
Speaker 1: Do you drop clients? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all the time.
Speaker 1: You're like this that won't work.
Speaker 2: Oh I try to drop that. Every year. I just
Speaker 2: go through the list and said, okay, who's who needs
Speaker 2: to go into probation and who should we just drop?
Speaker 1: What about don't you? Aren't you so thankful? The days
Speaker 1: of boxes of receipts are over.
Speaker 2: You know, we still get a few collections.
Speaker 1: Oh I can't imagine how stupid that is.
Speaker 2: You know those as stories. I had a client come
Speaker 2: in referral. She brought in two trash bags, two trash
Speaker 2: bags full of envelopes and never been open. Oh good,
Speaker 2: I love it. So I gave it to my staff,
Speaker 2: open all this stuff up. And also my Staf's like, John, jhn,
Speaker 2: come here. I'm like, what what's going on? She's like,
Speaker 2: is this right? I'm like what I said, I think
Speaker 2: this woman has forty million dollars? Okay, And I'm like what,
Speaker 2: So I called lady up? Do you have forty million dollars?
Speaker 2: Is like, I hope.
Speaker 1: So she was testing you, guys.
Speaker 2: No, she or her husband passed away two three years prior.
Speaker 1: I know she killed him, and she just was needed help.
Speaker 2: And so we got all our stuff opened, all the envelopes,
Speaker 2: went through all the paperwork, got her all sorted out.
Speaker 1: Well, that's pretty I guess you kept her as a
Speaker 1: client then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was a pretty good client. It was. It
Speaker 2: was the best part was just helping somebody out. And
Speaker 2: you just never know when you start digging through all
Speaker 2: the paperworking, getting through people sorted out what you're going
Speaker 2: to find sometimes.
Speaker 1: But usually now you just have clients that you've had
Speaker 1: for years and years and years, and so it's not
Speaker 1: it's not that you're not digging through garbage bags for
Speaker 1: the most part.
Speaker 2: No, No, but there you know, we we still have
Speaker 2: what they call the shoe box clients that come in,
Speaker 2: and we still have really old school clients, and we
Speaker 2: still have cutting edge technology clients that wanted to send
Speaker 2: us everything the PDF and technology and you know, give
Speaker 2: it all to us. Your son was born on tax Day?
Speaker 2: Do you plan that? No, he was supposed to come
Speaker 2: the day after.
Speaker 1: Actually, I know your son heavily into a cart racing. Now.
Speaker 1: I was infatuated with that world as a child. I
Speaker 1: didn't get to race. I had a go cart. I
Speaker 1: had go carts, brigs and Stratton little you know whatever.
Speaker 1: My dad would get me five horsepower. That was like
Speaker 1: the biggest engine I ever had. But I was I
Speaker 1: was good. I could actually I was good at racing.
Speaker 1: It just you know, we'd go to little parks that
Speaker 1: had little race tracks. My brother just horrible at it.
Speaker 1: Every time he got behind the wheel, almost certain death.
Speaker 1: It's just unbelievable how some people can race and some
Speaker 1: people can't race. Anyway, your kid, now, Apple didn't fall
Speaker 1: far from the tree racing. Is it terrifying watching him?
Speaker 2: Go? Oh no, But I gotta tell you the always
Speaker 2: nervous on the first turn. Okay, last weekend he was
Speaker 2: in Orlando, Florida, at the Orlando Cart Center. They had
Speaker 2: forty two drivers on the track at one time in
Speaker 2: the grid.
Speaker 1: First of all, he's only eleven, and what do you start.
Speaker 2: Started at seven? We got him a go kart and
Speaker 2: on his seventh birthday.
Speaker 1: When you were buying him these type of toys, there's
Speaker 1: no way that it was like, no, no, he should
Speaker 1: be doing this at this age.
Speaker 2: Like I always look at things.
Speaker 1: I have a five year old and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: this little power wheel says for eight and up. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he's fine, let him go for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's good.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I told him when he was really young, maybe probably
Speaker 2: three or four years old, I say, hey, you you
Speaker 2: learn how to ride a bicycle without training wheels, I'll
Speaker 2: get you a motorcycle.
Speaker 1: What in the world, the greatest dad ever? You should
Speaker 1: be locked up? All right?
Speaker 2: So we're camping at Man But then he's got his
Speaker 2: bicycle training wheels. He says, Dad, take the training wheels off.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what, he takes training wheels off because he
Speaker 2: was getting stuck in the dirt and he just starts
Speaker 2: riding his bike. So I said, okay. So about six
Speaker 2: months later I got him a PW fifty Yamaha, little
Speaker 2: little motorcycle. Started riding there.
Speaker 1: Did you tone it down or just let him have
Speaker 1: it it? Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, PW fifty great starter bike for somebody
Speaker 2: wants to get in motorcycling. And he got a bigger
Speaker 2: bike about a year later, and he had a bit
Speaker 2: of an accident, so we went to the motocross track.
Speaker 2: He ended up going off the track, was going to
Speaker 2: run into a parked car, but slid under the car.
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess that's a good instinct.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you know it's it saved him. It scared
Speaker 2: the heck out of his we you know, after a
Speaker 2: quick trip to the hospital, I think his mom's like, hey,
Speaker 2: can we get him something a little closer to the ground.
Speaker 2: Let's get him four wheels. So his mom's the one
Speaker 2: that really pushed to go to the goat parting.
Speaker 1: Interesting. Yeah, and now I'm guessing that is a horrible,
Speaker 1: costly hobby that she regrets every day of her life.
Speaker 2: Now, on contrary, she's the one that's like kind of
Speaker 2: fanatical about it. She wants to go to Europe. She's like,
Speaker 2: he's going f one.
Speaker 1: Oh she's it's the pageant mom, but for car.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like so the funny thing, you think soccer moms
Speaker 2: are bad. Yeah, no, no, no no, the cart moms
Speaker 2: are way way more intense.
Speaker 1: How do you get the cart there?
Speaker 2: So we have a team, Nash Motorsports that helps us out,
Speaker 2: and so they when they set up, they have their
Speaker 2: own tent. It's a mobile shop. They all have anywhere
Speaker 2: from five to fifteen drivers a weekend under their.
Speaker 1: Okay, is there pit stops during his races?
Speaker 2: No, So it's it's an all out sprint race. So
Speaker 2: what they'll do is they'll go on for a final
Speaker 2: race will be about twenty laps, and they'll do about
Speaker 2: a you know, sometimes it's little less than a minute
Speaker 2: or just over a minute a lap when their average
Speaker 2: lap average speeds around forty eight fifty two miles an hour.
Speaker 2: See burning through tires Like, oh yeah, tires are crazy.
Speaker 2: Race weekend or an event, maybe four sets of tires.
Speaker 1: Does anyone else ever use his cart or no, that's
Speaker 1: his cart.
Speaker 2: It's his cart. Yeah, most people have their cart and
Speaker 2: then they's set up for their body and their size
Speaker 2: and their seats just for them.
Speaker 1: What's the minimum investment to get a sticker on his helmet?
Speaker 2: Oh? That's well. Happy to talk to anybody right now.
Speaker 2: We're okay, like where this is going. Oh, basically we're
Speaker 2: looking for marketing partnerships. Okay, so instead of sponsorships. We
Speaker 2: got a couple of years. You know, dad's doing okay,
Speaker 2: we're taking care of him, but he really needs the
Speaker 2: marketing partnerships to kind of get to the next level.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, that I can't help because he's going
Speaker 2: to be turning twelve. He's racing sixteen year old kids.
Speaker 2: So he just stepped up to the bigger full sized
Speaker 2: carts and any f one driver. They all started here.
Speaker 2: This is what they did. And is he good? He's
Speaker 2: actually pretty good? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you tell if a kid is
Speaker 1: good or not.
Speaker 2: When you come out and you're racing against all the
Speaker 2: kids in North America and you can place and put
Speaker 2: it up there. It's a challenge.
Speaker 1: Does he have like trophies and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Oh god, he has got room full of trophies.
Speaker 1: Is his dream to be like a NASCAR race or
Speaker 1: a Formula one?
Speaker 2: Formula one?
Speaker 1: No, look at you. You got a classy family. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: And when do you squash his dream?
Speaker 2: Probably he is about eighteen years old. Because eighteen, I'm
Speaker 2: I'm the big believer that he's got. He's got to
Speaker 2: want it and he's got to put the effort into it.
Speaker 1: Well, I watched that one movie where that guy that
Speaker 1: played video games became a real F one racer.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was a great movie. Loved it, was it?
Speaker 2: Oh it's it's his favorite movie by far Well. I
Speaker 2: took I took it to he and he was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, he loved it.
Speaker 1: Just what about it. One scene was a little tragic,
Speaker 1: you know when he almost died.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's part of part of the sport.
Speaker 1: That's why I get my kid. I'm getting my kid
Speaker 1: into tennis, you know, trying to force tennis on him.
Speaker 2: So wait, wait, you're not gonna have your son surf.
Speaker 1: I want my son to not be afraid of the ocean.
Speaker 1: And if he loves the ocean. That's a bonus, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna be competent. I'm gonna teach him how to surf,
Speaker 1: I teach him how to snowboard all that stuff. Here's
Speaker 1: my problem with surfing that I always have. You know,
Speaker 1: I've got a son and a daughter, But like surfing
Speaker 1: is the only sport, and I'm sure it's not where
Speaker 1: a ten year old kid that can surf good is
Speaker 1: in in the lineup talking to a you know, fifty
Speaker 1: year old accountant talking to a twenty year old drug addict.
Speaker 1: Like it's it's a weird world where you're like, you're
Speaker 1: you're around and you hear conversations that you normally if
Speaker 1: a kid is like into playing baseball, he's just around
Speaker 1: you know, his other little ten year old kids. I
Speaker 1: just that that mix of different people. It maybe I
Speaker 1: grew up a little too quick.
Speaker 2: I think I never had those conversations when I was
Speaker 2: twelve years old.
Speaker 1: Come on, you knew about drugs way before other people
Speaker 1: because of the surfers that you hung out with.
Speaker 2: No. No, I knew drugs because my own older brother.
Speaker 2: I like, if I'm not go on that road.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, But you understand my concern it makes some sense.
Speaker 1: I've seen lineups where I'm like, uh, when I see
Speaker 1: like a young kid in the water and I hear
Speaker 1: somebody talking, I'm like, hey, knucklehead, shut up, Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a child here.
Speaker 2: You know. I think, well, to any how old your
Speaker 2: kid is, they're going to hear it. You're not gonna
Speaker 2: be able to protect it. If he's twelve years old,
Speaker 2: he's hearing everything, It's okay, fine.
Speaker 1: What about when my daughter, let's just say she's sixteen
Speaker 1: years old and she's got a great ass, and now
Speaker 1: she's paddling around and you know what, they paddle around
Speaker 1: and she's.
Speaker 2: A full suit. That's the thing's got to get.
Speaker 1: She's gotta wear a full suit suit if you want
Speaker 1: to serve, fine, but you have to wear a full
Speaker 1: suit every day, right, because I'm not letting some creep
Speaker 1: old man paddle up behind you. Right. These are my concerns.
Speaker 1: By the way, everybody's on the show gets a gift.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to give you some gifts. Now. This
Speaker 1: is my first gift. This is from Bill Allen, the
Speaker 1: star of rad Oh nice. That's that's the official Double

Speaker 1: I use it. I like it fine. But now he
Speaker 1: invented this thing. This thing has like a battery charger
Speaker 1: for your phone speaker place. It has like a built
Speaker 1: in cooler. I go, you want me to walk around
Speaker 1: with a refrigerator on my back? I'm a it's an appliance.
Speaker 1: This is an appliance. This backpack is three hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: Never been used. Yeah, there's like look feel that there's
Speaker 1: like a battery charge.
Speaker 2: I was a big tailgater.
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm talking about. The cart racing.
Speaker 2: But but we don't do it.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2: No, I can't. I can't have any so I can't

Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna love it. Your son's gonna love this.
Speaker 1: He's gonna think it's neat.
Speaker 2: Say, where's your producer? Can I give it to your executive? No?
Speaker 1: No, this is a tax rid for me.
Speaker 2: I've got a regift.
Speaker 1: You can't regift this I got. By the way, the
Speaker 1: size of this thing, you would think that the cooler
Speaker 1: portion is huge. By the way, Oh, it also floats.
Speaker 1: It also floats, and it's it's waterproof, So it's that's
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. On the inside, it just holds
Speaker 1: a six pack. He got me this, and he was
Speaker 1: mad at me immediately because I was like, I hate it.
Speaker 2: It's a good zipper hard. I could now I could
