We would order like a 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.360 like one hundred dollars bouquet and then when they were 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.000 boxing up like no, no, no, we're gonna eat here, and 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.479 we would just sit down in the front there there 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.120 was not there's not like a table, but we just 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.479 start eating the bouquet and we just eat as much 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.280 as we could.

Do you ever tried 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.040 cherry chip? I have not tried cherry chip for the kids. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.760 It's a Duncan Hines box. I don't know if they 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.320 still make it or not. I think it might have 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.240 been replaced by the Sprinkles uh cake, But they used 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.120 to do cherry chip. I used to like that one. Dylan, 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:41.959 did you do anything for Valentine's Day? Yeah? 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:49.880 Watched Pride and Prejudice for the first time for me. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.919 Love, for me, in love. I mean, I just tell 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.920 you I couldn't have been happier with Valentine's Day. I 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.840 got away with not buying anything though. That was that 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.480 was I wasn't gonna get I'm like, I'm not gonna 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.240 buy you flowers right now, that's so dumb. Why am 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.000 I buying flowers of Valentine's Day when every week at 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.480 the farmer's market we buy flowers. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.560 Right way better flowers. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.880 The house has flowers in it. The flowers are expensive too. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.440 I know eggs, the price has dropped ever since Trump 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.160 took over, But Flowers, I need him to fix that 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.400 next now that he's got eggs. But I'm teasing about 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:29.519 the our eggs cheap? Are they still expensive? They're really expensive? Oh, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.160 I can't believe that hasn't been fixed yet. Well, at 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.239 least he got the wall done. You know what time 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.760 of the year it is. Now, now that Valentine's has done, 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.320 it's time for tax time. Tax time. Gotta get rid 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.880 of the taxes. How can you live in California with 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.160 those taxes? I love going on. This is my new 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.520 favorite thing to kind of poke. The bear is ranting 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.440 on how much I love California to the listeners that 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.160 don't love California. By way, have you spent real time 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.200 in California, people that constantly shit on it, Because I've 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.480 spent real time in your horrible towns. I've toured for 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.360 thirty years. I was born in a different country. My 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:12.960 parents traveled constantly. I moved fifteen times before I was 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:18.640 in high school. I know the other places. I'm saying, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.279 you should give my opinion a little bit more weight. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:27.040 I've been poor in California. I've been rich in California. Okay. Oh, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:33.240 but the wildfires and the earthquakes just so expensive. The housing. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.320 You can't buy a house that just through the roof. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.640 That's why everyone's leaving to Florida. Okay, but don't say 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.800 Florida is better. Florida is awful. I've lived there, and 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.120 they have to have no income tax to entice people 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:51.680 to live there. Imagine if Florida was so expensive, like 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.800 they had huge taxes, you think people would be going 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:59.800 there now. But California the most populated state by a 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.120 and it's expensive. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:03.119 I wonder why. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.719 Maybe what my father told me as a child actually 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.520 is true. You get what you pay for. Oh, there's 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.919 no income tax in Florida. This is too good to 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.400 be true. Oh, you're right, it is, because there's also 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.159 hurricanes and red tide. Do you ever dealt with red tide? 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.440 I remember that as a kid, I couldn't go outside 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.520 for two weeks without just choking on the air. Oh, 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.120 let's not forget no sims. That's always fun. How about 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.839 the fact that the entire state is a swamp and 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.080 every puddle has an alligator in it, But there's no tax. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:38.359 Did I mention the pollen? 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:39.240 Oh? 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:43.240 The pollen in Florida. It's lovely. It's on Zyrtac every 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.839 day in my life. You get what you pay for. Okay, 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:52.360 California's great, it's expensive. Well, yeah, it's because it's great, right. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:59.159 Florida's garbage and there's no income tax. Oh huh. Kind 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:00.719 of makes sense when you like that. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:01.680 It's all adding up. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.880 Yeah. Listen, guys, I can talk taxes all day long. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:15.159 That's why I'm excited for today's guest. Enjoy Pasha, my 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.800 guest today knows every Excel shortcut there is. So make 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.000 sure you've got all your ten ninety nine's and W 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.479 two's in order as we kick off tax season. Now. 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.880 If you haven't turned the show off yet out of boredom, 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.719 then please welcome my producer's accountant, John. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.279 Hi. How are you doing, Daniel? John? 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.719 I'm doing good, and thank you for being here. We'll 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.200 get into the accounting stuff later because the other stuff 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.479 is way more interesting to me. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.919 Do you believe in ghost Oh? Yeah, you do, but 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.120 I would say more spirits. I wouldn't call them ghosts. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.039 I don't know if I want my accountant believing in 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.400 any of this, I want. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.520 Them buy the books. The whole way. Growing up in Torrents. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:54.919 What was that like? It was pretty interesting. I got 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:55.960 to see a lot of changes. 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:57.840 Do you still live in the area, still live in 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:58.160 the area? 0:06:58.279 --> 0:06:59.839 Not? No, with Torrents from Madonna Beach. 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.680 Do you consider torrent South Bay? Yeah, oh yeah, I don't. 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.440 I always feel like they've glombed on. They get that 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.440 tiny little sliver that hits the water and they say 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:10.320 that there's South Bay. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.360 But I'm like, well, there's the beach cities and then 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:13.160 there's South Bay. 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.400 Okay, by the way, growing up in Torrents middle class, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.400 you did not tons of wealth. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.400 No, No, it was really interesting. I would see at 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.960 one point upper middle class because when I was younger, 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.160 I had a chance at a race motocross, and I think 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.880 pretty much all my dad's extra money went towards allowing 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.000 me to go racing. And he was a general contractor 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.760 to framing contractor, and then he decided he wanted to 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.520 do that anymore. He just decided he wanted to be 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.840 a craftsman and just have his own private shop and 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.600 do small projects. And we pivoted. I remember he said, listen, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.120 we can't go racing anymore. Got me an apple tude 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.360 computer and a surfboard and said, hey, figure figure out 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.120 how to use this thing to play video games. 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.160 By the way, it's very dangerous. Do you ever have 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.800 any of your death experiences on that bike? 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.200 I had a couple experiences, yeah. 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.520 Just racing. Or did you do any of that freestyle 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:03.280 stuff in the air? 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.520 No, no freestyle stuff. So I pretty much rode motors 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.320 across when I was from seven years old to almost 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.880 twelve and really excelled at these age seven to eleven 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.360 year olds and the eighty CC expert in mini categories. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.600 I don't know anything about that world other than it 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:21.600 was probably exciting. 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.000 Just think of it as like junior motocrossers. Do you 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.760 do you ever BEMX? Oh? Yeah, I loved it, absolutely 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:27.160 loved it. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.360 Do you love the movie Rad? 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:28.760 Yes? 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.640 That was good. It's the right answer. When'd you start surfing? Oh? 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:33.720 God, about twelve years old? 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.680 Yeah? And where was the first place you served? 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:37.400 Avenue Y Inverydondo. 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.640 It was an eighties early eighties cold and wet suits 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.160 were horrible. Did you have a wet suit? 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.920 Yeah? No, I see my dad serfed with my older 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.600 brother and they were surfing in the late seventies Jerry 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.040 Lopez was great and fantastic. I remember my dad tried 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:53.800 to get me on a surple where at Dohani Beach, 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.880 trying to get out there and having fun, but I 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.040 didn't have a wet suit. It was cold, it was 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:01.280 freezing cold. Then I got into got a wet suit 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.479 and got a Boggie board and I loved it, absolutely 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.920 loved it. I remember my first really good ride. Uh huh, Yeah, 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.640 I'm a beach park okay, in the summer. It was great. 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.800 I grew up surfing and I've been I've served throughout 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.680 the world, never had a bad experience, you know that. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.320 I couldn't handle. The only place in my life that 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:26.160 I've ever been taken out of the water physically and 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.079 like told not was Redondo Breakwater. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.920 That's funny, isn't that crazy? That is funny. Yeah, it's crazy. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:35.080 That is crazy. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.000 Those guys were like and it was like it was 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.400 just two of them out and I went out and 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.040 they were like that it said. They started dropping in 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.400 on me and then they like literally like ushered me 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.160 to my car, like you tell you and your homies 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.400 never to come here, and I'm like, oh, I just 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.760 moved here from Florida. I don't have any homies. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.599 Was it was it a really big day or a 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.480 medium like a small day head high? Okay, that's probably 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.400 why interesting. Yeah, if it's big, they'll let you go out. Well, 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:01.080 you know what. 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:02.880 I never went back because I was like, you know what, 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:04.840 I don't care about your garbage waves. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.880 It's a great wave when it's like this last winter 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:13.040 and around December it was fantastic, phenomenal is it? 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.600 It seems to but it's got to be huge, like, okay, huge, 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.520 it's like dangerously big. I didn't like it, and I 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.160 didn't care, and I was like, whatever, you guys idiots, 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.680 enjoy your shitty wave. People are so mean. That's the 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.000 problem with surfing. I've always thought that about surfing. I've 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.080 loved everything about surfing except the surfers. I'm like, why 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.720 do you guys have to act like this? The vibes 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.000 are always always they always bother me anyway, not every place. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:44.800 Did you see the transformation of like Laduna Bay turn 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.760 into what it is? Or was it always like that? 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.280 The palace verdees, the locals. 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.959 That like wouldn't allow anyone to ever surf their wave. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.360 It's always been like that. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:56.240 Did you ever surf it? 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.679 I have a special spot I don't disclose. That's kind 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.320 of on the south side of bay. Haggarty's points were 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:03.800 really good. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.880 Haggarty's is great. Oh yeah, I've served Haggarty. He's just 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:07.840 almost perfect. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.920 Oh yeah, And what was the fun part is night 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:10.680 surfing hacks? 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.480 No, I don't, I don't don't enjoy that. What's your 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.120 favorite surf spot that you've served in the entire planet? 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.560 Plunt roca at La Liberta in El El Salvador. Best 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.000 way I've ever ever got right or left. It's all right, 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.320 point break, point break. It's better than ring con and 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:27.080 more consistent. 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.320 Well sure, it's not consistent. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.760 Yeah, it's it's one of them. Warm and very warm, 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.040 very warm. Yeah. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.840 Who didn't love a warm right before? 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.920 When I when I was really being into surfing in 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.400 my thirties, I was going to El Salvadore. I think 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:41.960 we went like eight times. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:46.640 Do you ever have any uh scary experiences while traveling 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.560 abroad for surfing? You're like, uh, oh, put ourselves in 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:50.680 a bad situation here. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.000 Oh yeah, so I got a good good So we're 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.880 in El Salvador and we were coming back where we had. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.520 We had a big uh, we had like a Nissan pickup. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.120 All of a sudden we come to ours like a 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.840 makeshift roadblock. Yes, I've been there, and this was not 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.040 an official block. This was just a bunch of guys 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:14.080 with M sixteen's that look like teenagers. Okay, we got 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.000 really nervous and started sweating. All of a sudden they 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.160 stopped the truck, get out and start talking to us 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.480 and all this stuff, and all they wanted was a 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.360 ride into town to see if they could take a 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.319 couple extra guys. And then we were just like, oh 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.520 my god, okay, yeah, sure, no problem dropping the back 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.439 of the truck. So then we got a ride into 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.920 town with three military guys with M sixteen's. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.760 Okay, I've been in a few places where they've had 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.040 the makeshift roadblock where it's just a chain dragged across 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.959 the road. You have to stop, and then I and 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:47.360 my broken Spanish just like open my wallet and like 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.200 say like, oh, does twenty make that chain go away? 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.480 And usually it does, and then I'm like on my 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.240 way and like hey, and then everybody's good. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.240 But you're always like so I don't mess around. So 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.959 was this in Bajac Helpha. I've done. 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.960 I've done a few few of those encounters in Mexico. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.080 Yeah. See, I wouldn't go to bog California anymore after 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:08.840 forty years old, I said, in no way. I brought 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.560 my family last year. But I can tell you. But 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.880 the other thing is Mexico's We spent a lot of 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.320 time in the mainland Mexican, like Mexico City, all the 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.760 major cities, Monterey, beautiful country, beautiful city, I know, like 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.280 super nice, the best food in the world. It's really greed. Yeah, 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:26.320 I love everything about it. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.320 I think you know, I'm excited for for when it 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.120 becomes part of America. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.680 Well, they got to change the golf, right. I don't 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.480 know how they're gonna like, how they're gonna feel about that. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.040 They'll be fine, They'll be fine, They'll love it. You 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.439 still surfer, No, you got injured a little bit, a 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:42.600 little bit old man. 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:43.760 Surf now, old man surf? 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.640 Now do you do like old man? Like rich? Travel? 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.640 Boat and trips? Oh? I wish if I would have, 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.680 but I had a ankle injury when doing motocross. So 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.440 that's my other passion, motocross and motorsports. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.440 And accounting. 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:58.640 Trinity. 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.319 How did you get into account. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.320 Oh god, I was really good at computers, uh huh, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.960 And nobody knew how to use computers that well in accounting, 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.719 and I said, oh my god, this is Greatnot I 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.760 know how to do this. So I was kind of 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:15.600 like early early nineties, and I don't want to be 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.120 a computer programmer. I thought, oh my god, that's just 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.120 will you tell I might as well become an accountant, 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.520 And the rest is history actually went. When I went 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.400 to business school, I saw a really great opportunity, kind 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.960 of the shifting towards using technology to really speed things 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.120 up and be efficient, and just latched onto that and 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.920 used the skills that had in technology and computers and 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.960 just applied it to accounting and never looked back. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.880 By the way, you went to Loyla Mahrmont, you grew 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.320 up in torrent and then you transferred to cal State 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.160 Long Beach. Have you ever been outside of your thirty 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:47.840 mile zone? 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:48.280 Oh? 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:48.720 Yeah. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.920 So I had the opportunity to go to Indonesia and 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.080 I was working for a nice guy at a palace 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.040 for aries while I was in college, and he sent 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.360 me there was a job opportunity, and I learned what 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.120 I was going to be near bawling. I'll go if 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.200 I could take three weeks off after the project. 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:04.600 How long is the project? Oh? 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:06.440 The project was like two three weeks and I got 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.640 to spend a month in Indonesia, serve a place called 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:14.640 groggan Gland and lived in Bali for two three months. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:15.720 I mean that's amazing. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:16.640 Oh, it was amazing. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.120 And that is that a better because right now it's 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.840 like it's it's too crowded, But then I'm guessing it's phenomenal. 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.040 What was funny is I had a job off from 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:26.640 the guys wanted me to stay, and I said, look, 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.360 I'd got to go back and finish college. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.480 You should have stayed. I think everything about you is 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.760 cool except the job. Is there anything cool about accounting? 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.560 Yeah? So the funny thing is most of my time 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.760 isn't doing really accounting. It's talking to people about their lives. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.360 It's sitting there just talking to them and asking them, Hey, 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.520 what happened this year, what's going on? What transactions did 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.240 you have financially that impacted you? 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.800 Are you trying to beat the system? At all times, we. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.480 Try to push, We try to make sure that people 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.960 don't pay any more taxes than I legally have to, 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.040 but we want to keep them out of jail. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.720 Well, you said the only person your father respected was 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.520 his accountant. Now, I don't want to play like an 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.840 armchair psychiatrist here, but does any party you think that 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.240 you got into this pression to gain your father's respect? 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:20.720 Oh after the fact, Yeah. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.320 Did you do your parents' taxes? 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.320 Yeah? After I started going to college and took a 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.200 couple of classes and a taxation. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.240 Yeah, and they let you see what they made. Because 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.720 my dad. If I ever asked my father, even when 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.200 I was older, how much do you make or enough? 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.120 None of your business? What are you a cop? Those 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.680 are the answers I got from my father. Yeah, I'm 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:42.360 a cop. Dad. 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.120 I always say, I don't think that I had to 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:46.440 really worry about that. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.280 They're just so my dad was so weird about it, 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:50.760 and it's like my dad had, like, you know, a 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.960 very middle class family. I always end up getting like 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.920 years down the road money back because I've overpaid, and 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.520 I talked to my accounts, I'm like, guys, why are 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.240 we so conservative all the time that they're like, hey, 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.959 you paid too much, and they're like, no, that's what 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.320 we do. I'm terrified of jail though, the idea of jail. 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.480 No no, no. I use that expression because I try to 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.520 terrify clients. So that's the main thing is we want 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.000 to make sure that you don't get audit. You don't 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.720 want the nasty letters and liar. I've been audited twice. Well, 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:18.199 there you go. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.080 Here's here's what I've learned. Tell me it's true or false. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.160 They used to say that audits were completely random. Then 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.960 they realized that the IRS it's wasting too much money 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.880 auditing poor people, so they stopped that, and now they 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.600 do audit just the wealthy. 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.240 Oh no, On the contrary, they audit wealthy, they audit 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.680 people randomly, and they audit poor people. Okay, but you're 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.639 but you are saying, and I'm going to say, not 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.640 poor people. Well they do is audit. Let's say you're 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.639 in the Malibu zip code and then you show that 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.480 you make ten thousand dollars and you don't pay any taxes. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.199 How is it that you can afford to live in 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.840 Malibu or you know, in the beach communities and not 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:57.720 pay any taxes. 0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:58.800 I don't know, ask Pierre. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.760 Well, there you go. So what they do is they're 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.320 looking for those people that wait a sec. You got 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.359 two houses, you got these cars, you got those you 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.399 got all these assets, and you live in a nice neighborhood, 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:11.959 but you don't show that you have any income. 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.680 But then they also just randomly and. 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:15.920 Then they randomly picked people. 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.800 Yeah, I was surprised the amount of time. It took 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.679 a ton of time and they didn't find anything. But 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.960 then they started actually going like, oh, you took a 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.960 jet to your show in Vegas. Was everybody that sat 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.320 on that jet part of your job? It was just crazy, 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:35.520 how like needling they were trying to get for me, 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:39.080 that's their job. No, it isn't a bunch of jerks. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.000 Do you like to say something just didn't adding up 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.960 or do you prefer fudge the numbers or cook the books? 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.720 I would say things don't add up, we need to 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.959 fix this. How many something's not right here? 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.199 How many times have you been like this, something just 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:55.200 doesn't adding. 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.040 Up, It doesn't smell right, it doesn't pass the smell tests. 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.640 How many shredders do you own it? You're off, Oh, 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.040 we don't really shred everything. We just collected and then 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.040 we take it to the shrudder every two three months. 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:06.600 I just didn't know if you guys had like a 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:10.000 system like a press a button. Guys, they're coming get 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.520 rid of everything. This is what this is what I 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.879 want my accountant to be, like, I'm w on my 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:16.760 account to go go. 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.560 Is the IRS broken or no? It give you some fixing. 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:22.679 It give you some fixing. What are some of the 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.480 red flags the IRS is looking for when looking at 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:31.240 someone's returns? Disproportionate expenses. Somebody say they they put down 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.439 they made ten thousand dollars a small project, and then 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:36.040 they try to write off fifty. 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.840 Oh man, I know that I sent it. Because I 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:43.720 will spend almost every cent I make to travel places 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:45.800 that I want to go to. And I'm like, oh, 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.360 come out. Even that's fine, but why are you traveling 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.119 to go to the place like a vacation that's paid for. 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:52.600 Yeah, but it's got to be business. It's got to 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:53.200 be for business. 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.159 I'm traveling for business. But the only reason I'm I 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.960 will do a show some places because it's a place 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.280 that my family wants to go. Does that make sense? 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:03.240 No? 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.160 Stand up comedy, that's all I do. So if I 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:08.760 wanted my wife wants to go to Portugal. I'm going 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:10.600 to do a show in Lisbon for the ex pats. 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.879 Oh okay, now, if you're doing the show there, I am, yeah, 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:14.919 and okay sure right. 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.719 All of the money that that show makes, I spend 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.840 one hundred and fifty percent to do the trip. That's 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:23.640 a red flag. 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:25.479 Well, it depends on your overall income. 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.120 The income's not there anymore. I'm just living off I'm 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:29.040 living off the savings. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.200 So Dirus is going to if they did come talk 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:32.920 to you and they say, Daniel, we need to speak 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:34.760 to you, They're going to ask you, so, how many 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.760 days was it for business? Well, one night and how 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:39.000 many days did you stay? 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:39.680 Fourteen? 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.000 Okay, and then they're gonna disallow it. You're in trouble. 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.480 You serious? Ah, that's bad. In twenty twenty five, in 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:47.560 La is it better to rent or buy a home? 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:50.760 Rent? 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.720 Why is the county so complicated and confusing in this country? 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.120 Oh, that's a great question. So it's because politicians write 0:20:58.160 --> 0:20:59.200 the laws, not accountants. 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.280 I mean, do you actually enjoy your job? Yeah? 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.600 Yeah, I do. Inter The best part of my job 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.960 again is their relationships and talking to clients and finding 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.280 out what's going on and really kind of becoming part 0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:14.200 of people's family. Over years and years of doing their taxes. 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.240 How often are they changing the laws the tax laws but. 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.480 Every two years but at least every new president. 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:22.879 Are things going to get great for us? Now, for 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.119 us wealthy people, I wouldn't say that, because California is 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:27.520 going to get their taxes no matter what. 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.400 Well, you got two issues. You've got California taxes, which 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.199 is some of the highest taxes in the nation. You know, 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:35.399 you get the combination of your state taxes and your 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.120 federal taxes. It can be a lot. 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.640 If I have a property in let's just say, hypothetically 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.840 in Nevada, how much do I have to actually live 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.479 there to stop paying California. 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.280 Taxes over one hundred and eighty five days. 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:49.639 And then I can Then I can pull out of 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:50.680 California completely. 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:52.600 Now you have that has to be the place where 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.600 you hang your hat, So you got to live there, 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.480 hang your hat there, vote there, have a driver's license there, 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.480 have your cars there, have kids go to school there. 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:04.640 That's the tough one. Yeah, that's the real tough one. 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:06.159 You had me. 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.840 I could pull off almost all of that until you 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.920 said school you can't have your kids go to school 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.000 in Carson City. 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:15.640 You could if you wanted to be gunslingers. 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.200 Oh that's nictally not a bad idea. How many Social 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:21.439 Security numbers do you have the ability to sell on 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:22.200 the dark web? 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:22.640 Oh? 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:23.000 Zero? 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:23.600 Oh? 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.679 Look at that? What's your favorite number? 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:26.400 Eight? 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:32.639 That's the dumbest question, and I'm glad you answered it. 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:37.040 If we needed a way to drastically simplify the tax 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.080 codes across the board, what would your pitch. 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.040 Be get rid of? Alterna minimum tax? 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:42.760 Okay, I don't even know what that means. 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:47.520 It's a complicated extra formula that accountants have to go 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:50.359 through and figure out your tax returns and eliminate all 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.040 your deductions and reader your taxes and you have to 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:53.960 pay a minimum tax. 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:55.720 Do you want that that eliminated? 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:56.760 Oh that'd be great. Yeah. 0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.600 Do you hate Ben Franklin for saying there's nothing certain 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:01.080 except for death and taxes? 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.639 No? No, it's helping my business. 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.199 Well, how do income taxes work in other countries? Do 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:09.639 they have a more simple system? 0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:13.479 Some? Actually they do, but they also pay a lot 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:17.160 more taxes. Believe it or not, United States doesn't have 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:19.359 that bad a taxes when you compare to Europe. 0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.159 I've always just wrapped my head around I'm going to 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:24.400 lose fifty percent of every dollar I make, and I'm 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.000 kind of like, okay with that. That's a lot, I know, 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:28.920 but I'm okay with it. I'm like, if I can 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:31.240 live off fifty percent of what every dollar I make, 0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:33.760 then I'm gonna be okay. So that was that was 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:34.440 kind of the goal. 0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:37.720 Okay, you may want to talk to your account I 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.880 don't want to talk to him. Maybe he does knock 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:41.960 to you, that's a problem. 0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.800 It's just a long conversation. And then I don't have 0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.360 to pretend like I understand stuff, and I don't. 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:48.679 Take him surfing. 0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.359 They don't serve. They're not those kind of accounts that 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:55.280 Charlie don't serve. No, Charlie don't serve. Is there any 0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:57.960 new laws on the books this year that you're excited about. 0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:00.000 There's going to be a lot of changes coming up. 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:02.239 Do you have to pass new tests when when they 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:04.200 change things or just be familiar with the law. 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:07.560 Actually got to have forty hours of continue education every single. 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:08.640 Year, every year? 0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.959 Every year? Oh oh yeah, cool? That alone? 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.720 Would they already not want to be an accountant? 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:14.639 Every year? 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:18.280 Having to do forty hours. How long does that take? Well, 0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.720 sometimes you break it up into like like a month. 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:22.639 Oh well, you could do it all over the year. 0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:24.360 But now you get a travel for it too. 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.280 Oh some nerd convention. Is that what you're talking about? 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:29.760 Oh? 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:31.160 No, where is this held? 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:32.960 Oh? They got them all over the United States. You 0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:35.440 can go to the probably the Beast. Probably the best 0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:37.800 one that used to go to was in the South 0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:39.600 shore of Hawaii on Honolulu. 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.119 Oh. Yeah, you guys are living it up. Yeah, try to. 0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:43.160 That's pretty good. 0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:45.000 I think I was able to sneak away, dur and 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:46.119 break and get a couple of waves. 0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:48.360 Do you look down on people who use TurboTax? 0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:54.080 No? Should people be, But I kind of feel bad 0:24:54.080 --> 0:24:54.400 for them. 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:54.760 Uh huh. 0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:56.640 It's just because they just don't know and they don't 0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:59.119 know what kind of trouble they're getting themselves into. Nobody 0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:01.400 should do their own tax, says god, nobody that has 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:04.440 make some money. What's the cutoff where it's like, okay, 0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:06.720 you need you need to hire a professional accountant to 0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:08.840 do your taxes at what what? Uh? 0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:10.040 Income level? 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.840 I would say if you have the income level to 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.959 afford a house, then you should be getting somebody to 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:16.440 do your tax. 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:17.800 Okay, it makes sense. 0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:21.520 You got investments, you have stocks, you're starting to douce 0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:24.200 rental properties. You know, things are starting to get a 0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:25.159 little more complicated. 0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.520 Did your job basically to outsmart the IRS every year? 0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:32.480 No, it's basically just helping clients so that they don't 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:33.400 get in trouble. 0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.720 How late can you actually file? I feel like I 0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:38.920 never file. I always get an extension every single year? 0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:41.760 Is that normal? I wouldn't recommend it. I'd recommend filing 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:42.280 on time. 0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:44.240 Like every year. They're like, yeah, no, you get, we 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:45.159 get your extending. 0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:46.760 You know, but you're lucky this year. 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:48.560 Why things changed? 0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.520 The government is giving relief to anybody in La. 0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:52.760 County because of the fires. 0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:53.520 Because of the fires. 0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:57.119 Oh what are these these people? I mean, do you hate? 0:25:57.560 --> 0:26:01.679 I'm guessing that you've experienced people that have had total 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.639 losses before. I mean, what do they do? 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:06.919 There's gonna be a lot of questions, a lot of 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:10.800 challenges because the IRS does let you write off losses 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.000 if you're out of pocket. So if you're actually out 0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:16.640 of pocket money from the loss, you're gonna be able 0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:18.880 to take that as tax right offs. Okay, So there's 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.920 gonna be a lot of people at the Palisades fire 0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:23.800 and the Alta Dinga fire. Are they're gonna need help? 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:26.440 Where are you on taxing churches in this country. I'm 0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:29.959 a huge believer in any church that has over one 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.560 hundred people that go to it should be taxed. These 0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:36.720 megachurches where the snake oil salesman rolls around in like 0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:39.720 a Bentley, I'm like, this is nonsense. You don't want 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:40.680 to get yourself in trouble. 0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:42.960 I'm gonna I'm gonna stay off that one. 0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:44.919 I don't want. I think the churches should be taxes. 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:48.719 The Church of Scientology, that's just complete nonsense. No pastor 0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:51.400 should drive in anything nicer than a Honda Accord. That's 0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:55.480 what I say. That's my barometer for if your church 0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:59.840 is making too much money? What about tax taxing crypto? 0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:01.080 What about crypto? 0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.000 Do you have any clients that are invested into crypto? 0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:06.600 Yeah? I do. It's a challenge, I mean, it's it. 0:27:07.200 --> 0:27:10.280 Do you is it real? First? 0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:12.080 First question? Is it real? 0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:13.920 Is it real? Yeah? It's real. 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:16.120 I mean do you have do you understand it completely? 0:27:16.160 --> 0:27:17.320 Are you invested in crypto? 0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:18.320 Yeah? I have some crypto. 0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:22.360 Uh huh, all right, billionaires, Are they getting taxed heavily enough? 0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:23.360 Or no? Yes? 0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:24.560 Oh brother. 0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:27.879 See people don't realize you're a homeowner and you have 0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:30.560 you have probably have rental property. You pay all these 0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:33.480 property taxes. You don't think billionaires pay taxes. They just 0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.480 pay in other forms. They paid in payroll taxes, they 0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:40.040 paid in property taxes. They're supporting the community with their 0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:43.560 infrastructure and giving jobs and doing a lot of different things. 0:27:43.560 --> 0:27:47.280 But it's interesting that when you talk about taxes, the 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.720 problem is we got too much taxes at the low level, 0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:53.720 meaning why are we paying so much in gas? I 0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:55.880 went to Florida. I think it was like two dollars 0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:59.120 and thirty cents a gallon. We make the gas here 0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:03.400 in California. We've got Chevron mobile arcle here and it's 0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:05.320 like classified dollars a gallon. 0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:10.200 Why it's the taxes. Let me tell you something. If 0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:13.240 you want to spend more time driving around in Florida, 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:18.440 all the power to you. As someone who is from 0:28:18.480 --> 0:28:21.720 there and has all their family there, I think the 0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:25.159 gas should be cheaper to encourage people to get the 0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:28.040 fuck out. Most places in the world, you buy a 0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:32.120 home and it's a good investment and thirty years later 0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:34.920 it's worth more. And that's not true in Florida. All 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:37.679 the time. Florida, you can buy a home and in 0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:41.479 thirty years it's worth the exact same or less because 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:45.280 they built a brand new subdivision just right next to it, 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:47.720 and they're like a hey, now let's just make this. 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:51.960 These houses look completely shitty and there's the new shiny subdivision. 0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:54.240 So you know, yeah, they have no income taxes, but 0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:57.200 there's some other taxes there that they have you on 0:28:57.240 --> 0:29:00.520 the hook for.

I had a client come 0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:45.600 in referral. She brought in two trash bags, two trash 0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.640 bags full of envelopes and never been open. Oh good, 0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:50.600 I love it. So I gave it to my staff, 0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:53.440 open all this stuff up. And also my Staf's like, John, jhn, 0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:55.400 come here. I'm like, what what's going on? She's like, 0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:57.840 is this right? I'm like what I said, I think 0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:02.680 this woman has forty million dollars? Okay, And I'm like what, 0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:05.120 So I called lady up? Do you have forty million dollars? 0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:05.760 Is like, I hope. 0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:07.480 So she was testing you, guys. 0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:10.520 No, she or her husband passed away two three years prior. 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:15.200 I know she killed him, and she just was needed help. 0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:17.800 And so we got all our stuff opened, all the envelopes, 0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:20.160 went through all the paperwork, got her all sorted out. 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:21.800 Well, that's pretty I guess you kept her as a 0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:22.280 client then. 0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.280 Yeah, she was a pretty good client. It was. It 0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:26.160 was the best part was just helping somebody out. And 0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:28.880 you just never know when you start digging through all 0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:31.560 the paperworking, getting through people sorted out what you're going 0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:32.760 to find sometimes. 0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:35.640 But usually now you just have clients that you've had 0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:37.480 for years and years and years, and so it's not 0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.280 it's not that you're not digging through garbage bags for 0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:40.960 the most part. 0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:43.160 No, No, but there you know, we we still have 0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:45.560 what they call the shoe box clients that come in, 0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:48.520 and we still have really old school clients, and we 0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:52.320 still have cutting edge technology clients that wanted to send 0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:56.800 us everything the PDF and technology and you know, give 0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.960 it all to us. Your son was born on tax Day? 0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:02.840 Do you plan that? No, he was supposed to come 0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:03.440 the day after. 0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:07.840 Actually, I know your son heavily into a cart racing. Now. 0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:12.360 I was infatuated with that world as a child. I 0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:14.440 didn't get to race. I had a go cart. I 0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:17.520 had go carts, brigs and Stratton little you know whatever. 0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:20.360 My dad would get me five horsepower. That was like 0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:23.200 the biggest engine I ever had. But I was I 0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:25.880 was good. I could actually I was good at racing. 0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:27.880 It just you know, we'd go to little parks that 0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:31.640 had little race tracks. My brother just horrible at it. 0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.360 Every time he got behind the wheel, almost certain death. 0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:37.959 It's just unbelievable how some people can race and some 0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:41.560 people can't race. Anyway, your kid, now, Apple didn't fall 0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:44.880 far from the tree racing. Is it terrifying watching him? 0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:47.160 Go? Oh no, But I gotta tell you the always 0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.760 nervous on the first turn. Okay, last weekend he was 0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:53.440 in Orlando, Florida, at the Orlando Cart Center. They had 0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:56.800 forty two drivers on the track at one time in 0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:58.080 the grid. 0:31:58.360 --> 0:32:01.560 First of all, he's only eleven, and what do you start. 0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:04.960 Started at seven? We got him a go kart and 0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:07.040 on his seventh birthday. 0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:09.720 When you were buying him these type of toys, there's 0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:12.360 no way that it was like, no, no, he should 0:32:12.400 --> 0:32:13.800 be doing this at this age. 0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:14.760 Like I always look at things. 0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:16.160 I have a five year old and it's like, oh, 0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:19.440 this little power wheel says for eight and up. And 0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:21.400 I'm like, yeah, he's fine, let him go for it. 0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:22.520 Yeah that's good. 0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:23.000 Okay. 0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:25.160 I told him when he was really young, maybe probably 0:32:25.160 --> 0:32:27.040 three or four years old, I say, hey, you you 0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:29.520 learn how to ride a bicycle without training wheels, I'll 0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:30.480 get you a motorcycle. 0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:33.760 What in the world, the greatest dad ever? You should 0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:34.960 be locked up? All right? 0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:37.720 So we're camping at Man But then he's got his 0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:40.720 bicycle training wheels. He says, Dad, take the training wheels off. 0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.000 I'm like, what, he takes training wheels off because he 0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:45.120 was getting stuck in the dirt and he just starts 0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:47.680 riding his bike. So I said, okay. So about six 0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:50.520 months later I got him a PW fifty Yamaha, little 0:32:50.760 --> 0:32:52.680 little motorcycle. Started riding there. 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:54.360 Did you tone it down or just let him have 0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:56.160 it it? Okay? 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:59.400 Yeah, yeah, no, PW fifty great starter bike for somebody 0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:02.920 wants to get in motorcycling. And he got a bigger 0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:05.200 bike about a year later, and he had a bit 0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:07.800 of an accident, so we went to the motocross track. 0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:10.920 He ended up going off the track, was going to 0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:13.600 run into a parked car, but slid under the car. 0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:15.480 Okay, I guess that's a good instinct. 0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.200 Well, yeah, you know it's it saved him. It scared 0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:19.560 the heck out of his we you know, after a 0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:23.200 quick trip to the hospital, I think his mom's like, hey, 0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:25.320 can we get him something a little closer to the ground. 0:33:25.400 --> 0:33:28.160 Let's get him four wheels. So his mom's the one 0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:29.920 that really pushed to go to the goat parting. 0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:34.360 Interesting. Yeah, and now I'm guessing that is a horrible, 0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:37.800 costly hobby that she regrets every day of her life. 0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:41.040 Now, on contrary, she's the one that's like kind of 0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:43.760 fanatical about it. She wants to go to Europe. She's like, 0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:44.680 he's going f one. 0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:48.720 Oh she's it's the pageant mom, but for car. 0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:51.640 Yeah. Like so the funny thing, you think soccer moms 0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:53.760 are bad. Yeah, no, no, no no, the cart moms 0:33:53.760 --> 0:33:55.280 are way way more intense. 0:33:55.800 --> 0:33:57.080 How do you get the cart there? 0:33:57.520 --> 0:33:59.960 So we have a team, Nash Motorsports that helps us out, 0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:01.800 and so they when they set up, they have their 0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:06.040 own tent. It's a mobile shop. They all have anywhere 0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:09.280 from five to fifteen drivers a weekend under their. 0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:12.320 Okay, is there pit stops during his races? 0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:14.920 No, So it's it's an all out sprint race. So 0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:18.040 what they'll do is they'll go on for a final 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:21.919 race will be about twenty laps, and they'll do about 0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:23.839 a you know, sometimes it's little less than a minute 0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:26.600 or just over a minute a lap when their average 0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:31.640 lap average speeds around forty eight fifty two miles an hour. 0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:34.640 See burning through tires Like, oh yeah, tires are crazy. 0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:38.880 Race weekend or an event, maybe four sets of tires. 0:34:39.000 --> 0:34:41.480 Does anyone else ever use his cart or no, that's 0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:42.080 his cart. 0:34:42.360 --> 0:34:45.719 It's his cart. Yeah, most people have their cart and 0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:48.200 then they's set up for their body and their size 0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:49.759 and their seats just for them. 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:54.160 What's the minimum investment to get a sticker on his helmet? 0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.960 Oh? That's well. Happy to talk to anybody right now. 0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:03.000 We're okay, like where this is going. Oh, basically we're 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:07.920 looking for marketing partnerships. Okay, so instead of sponsorships. We 0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:10.560 got a couple of years. You know, dad's doing okay, 0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:13.200 we're taking care of him, but he really needs the 0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.240 marketing partnerships to kind of get to the next level. 0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:19.799 All right, Well, that I can't help because he's going 0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:22.440 to be turning twelve. He's racing sixteen year old kids. 0:35:22.719 --> 0:35:25.640 So he just stepped up to the bigger full sized 0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:28.799 carts and any f one driver. They all started here. 0:35:28.880 --> 0:35:31.239 This is what they did. And is he good? He's 0:35:31.280 --> 0:35:32.359 actually pretty good? Yeah. 0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:33.920 I mean, how can you tell if a kid is 0:35:33.960 --> 0:35:34.520 good or not. 0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.360 When you come out and you're racing against all the 0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:39.919 kids in North America and you can place and put 0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:41.600 it up there. It's a challenge. 0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:43.480 Does he have like trophies and stuff like that. 0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:45.760 Oh god, he has got room full of trophies. 0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:49.920 Is his dream to be like a NASCAR race or 0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:50.680 a Formula one? 0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:51.319 Formula one? 0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.759 No, look at you.

Because eighteen, I'm 0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:03.719 I'm the big believer that he's got. He's got to 0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:05.480 want it and he's got to put the effort into it. 0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:07.400 Well, I watched that one movie where that guy that 0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:09.760 played video games became a real F one racer. 0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:12.080 Oh yeah, it was a great movie. Loved it, was it? 0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:14.440 Oh it's it's his favorite movie by far Well.

One scene was a little tragic, 0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:23.840 you know when he almost died. 0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:26.200 Oh yeah, that's part of part of the sport. 0:36:26.320 --> 0:36:28.520 That's why I get my kid. I'm getting my kid 0:36:28.560 --> 0:36:31.480 into tennis, you know, trying to force tennis on him. 0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:33.240 So wait, wait, you're not gonna have your son surf. 0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:37.880 I want my son to not be afraid of the ocean. 0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:42.319 And if he loves the ocean. That's a bonus, and 0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:45.200 he's gonna be competent. I'm gonna teach him how to surf, 0:36:45.239 --> 0:36:47.560 I teach him how to snowboard all that stuff. Here's 0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:50.080 my problem with surfing that I always have. You know, 0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:52.520 I've got a son and a daughter, But like surfing 0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:56.400 is the only sport, and I'm sure it's not where 0:36:56.920 --> 0:36:59.799 a ten year old kid that can surf good is 0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:04.160 in in the lineup talking to a you know, fifty 0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:08.360 year old accountant talking to a twenty year old drug addict. 0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:11.600 Like it's it's a weird world where you're like, you're 0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:15.319 you're around and you hear conversations that you normally if 0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:19.520 a kid is like into playing baseball, he's just around 0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:21.719 you know, his other little ten year old kids. I 0:37:21.800 --> 0:37:26.120 just that that mix of different people. It maybe I 0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:27.279 grew up a little too quick. 0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:29.880 I think I never had those conversations when I was 0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:30.440 twelve years old. 0:37:30.840 --> 0:37:33.520 Come on, you knew about drugs way before other people 0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:35.640 because of the surfers that you hung out with. 0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:38.320 No. No, I knew drugs because my own older brother. 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:42.360 I like, if I'm not go on that road. 0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:46.840 Right, Okay, But you understand my concern it makes some sense. 0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:49.719 I've seen lineups where I'm like, uh, when I see 0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:51.560 like a young kid in the water and I hear 0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:57.200 somebody talking, I'm like, hey, knucklehead, shut up, Yeah, there's 0:37:57.239 --> 0:37:58.200 a child here. 0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:01.040 You know. I think, well, to any how old your 0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:03.959 kid is, they're going to hear it. You're not gonna 0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:05.680 be able to protect it. If he's twelve years old, 0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:07.960 he's hearing everything, It's okay, fine. 0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:10.640 What about when my daughter, let's just say she's sixteen 0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:13.600 years old and she's got a great ass, and now 0:38:13.640 --> 0:38:16.080 she's paddling around and you know what, they paddle around 0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:16.680 and she's. 0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:19.640 A full suit.

Or do you 0:42:57.760 --> 0:42:59.520 just let them do it? They know I just I 0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:02.759 tried to scourge them. Okay, Yeah. So many times I 0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.560 come up with ideas and I'm just like, they're like, well, 0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:08.080 if you think that's what you should do, and I'm like, guys, 0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:09.560 I need you to tell me to knock it off. 0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:13.839 No, if it's a bad idea, I tell clients all 0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:16.240 the time, that's good.
