SPEAKERS
Brandon, Collin
Collin 00:05
Welcome to Ole brother, a podcast where we try to figure it all out with your hosts, Brandon and Hollen. On this week's show. These things can happen boy
Brandon 00:22
All right, how are you? Fine. Yes. How are you?
Collin 00:25
I'm well I want you to icon like up really excited. And then your icon disappeared. And then it crashed. I
Brandon 00:33
don't know what happened. It was like, I was waiting in the lobby thing. And then it it like transitions windows. It goes to like the connecting loading window right there. And then everything disappeared. I was like, wow that's not what we agreed to. That's not the button that I
Collin 01:00
was I was moving forward. I don't know if you know. Yeah. Like,
Brandon 01:07
yeah, I don't know. It's been doing a weird things. Um, because it updated. Right? It's like, double, windowed, open something and one of them says, like, sign in, but I am signed in. But then if I close the extra window, it's like leave meeting. I'm like, No. New. Wait a minute. 20 minutes. Whoa. So I don't know what it decided to do today. But it decided to just be confusing. So yeah, at least it decided something right. It was decisive enough to be something it was decisive enough to close. So that was
01:52
so you know, yeah, now
Brandon 01:55
everything is fine. That's
01:57
what they'll say. Ah, yes. Okay. Well, thanks. Welcome. Welcome. So
Collin 02:04
you are are you on? Are you on break now? When you?
Brandon 02:08
Okay. That was our last day. Right? Some, some, like horrible person decided that the day before Christmas break should no longer be a half day. It should be a full day of school. Right. So I just had vaults. Just, yeah, a full day of absolutely nothing.
02:34
Oh, it was so
Brandon 02:38
it was pretty miserable right. Now. Socrative, my fellow sixth grade teachers recessed and we were like, you know this, this is made even worse, by the fact that in previous years, I would have been home already. And so that is,
Collin 02:59
oh, no, you can't do that. You can't do that.
Brandon 03:02
It's like, ah, that's terrible. Real bad, like, it was real distressing. So that's sort of how I felt all day. Like it was a long day of doing nothing. Just like being there. Sure. Both like really extra loud, extra obnoxious sixth graders, right? Just because of the day like they know. Sure not doing anything. So full advantage of this. But like, also, I'm like, I'm gonna lose my mind. Right. A
Collin 03:39
lot. A lot there.
Brandon 03:41
That's for sure. Yeah. So yes, that's fun. How was my day today? I was. Okay. Well,
Collin 03:51
I guess I would say it could have been worse. But you know, I also don't know. I mean, I was comparing today to last year and the context of what a difference a year makes, because this time last year, we were experiencing negative 30 Windchill factors.
04:07
Oh, up here. Well,
Brandon 04:09
that's El Nino for you, right? Like you just
Collin 04:13
kind of go with it. Yeah, this was the time where I had the the client whose door lock was completely frozen. And when I called it called the tech company, and they were like, here, I'm patching you through to the tech company. And I was like, okay, cool. Cool. Cool. It's it's literally negative 30 Right now, and they were like, oh, no, it won't work. That's a cool. So what do I do? Yeah.
04:37
That was Yeah, yeah. So I mean,
Collin 04:39
it's like rainy and 60. So,
04:42
you know, for that context, I'll take it.
Brandon 04:47
Yeah, that's a plan. Yes, that's it right. Brains here but it likes thought real hard about it. Right? It was like, every once in a while I'd be like sprinkled not just kidding. Okay, just not Oh, let no no, no. Okay, no, that was really weird. Like, is it gonna rain? Is it not? I don't know.
Collin 05:19
Yeah, they it was it didn't really do a whole lot here either. It was just like, oh, it's definitely in the air, like it's in the air and then later this week fully into the Christmas weekend, it will be raining. So we have our galoshes and stuff. Ready. Status. galoshes, Christmas galoshes. Like
Brandon 05:44
Susan is very mad. That is supposed to be the cold the week after very distressed by this.
Collin 05:50
At least you're getting at least we're getting something like maybe question mark. Maybe. Did you see those these, those memes going around the National Weather Service was circulating them. At a Kansas City, they have quite a sense of humor. They set up snow chances in the link below. And it was a picture and it had a picture of like Missouri and it was like no, in green. And then above it. It was like also no in red. And
Brandon 06:18
bingo.
Collin 06:19
It's no like, Oh, I get it. It's funny. It's funny. Hahaha.
06:23
No. RATS, RATS.
Collin 06:30
We've previously spoken on this podcast about this, this not this very podcast episode, but this show about those words that you say that you then have to say like the rest of the phrase or like it triggers something?
06:43
Yes.
Collin 06:44
I have been saying the word rats a lot more. And
Brandon 06:49
oh, I'm going to ask you. What? What?
Collin 06:54
What comes to my mind when I say that?
Brandon 06:56
What comes to your mind? Well, that I that's a little harder to answer when it comes to your mind. I don't know this time when you say it. I don't know why. But my brain can only think about Ratigan from the great master do okay. And every time I say rats, I go. Oh, Ratigan.
Collin 07:18
Yeah.
07:22
The World's Greatest
Brandon 07:25
mine. Yes. Not not rat. She's not a rat. Everything's fine. No, we're
07:31
totally. Okay. Not
Collin 07:32
a rat. Yes, this is this is why it's just been this week. And, and I I still am shocked that they got Vincent Price to do him. It just it's I don't even know. I don't even know.
Brandon 07:49
You know, what else did you do at that point? Right. He wasn't doing a whole lot. That's like one of his last things to Yes, it was very torn. Right. It was like, thriller and that, like it was
Collin 08:01
it was really, you know, really taken them right.
Brandon 08:05
I mean, yeah, I feel like that was that was it. So I mean, like he probably wasn't doing anything else at the time. Right. Like just hanging out. Yep. Yeah, it is. It is always it's weird, right? The especially the older Oh, no, he was no that was once later. Yeah. Okay. Anyway. Like, the people that are just like, in, like movies like that, like animated movies, like all of a sudden you're like, what?
08:37
Yeah, what's
Collin 08:42
like, I'm sorry, you stopped what you were doing in your time to do. Really? Okay. Well, I mean, like, we are richly blessed and thankful for it, but it's just a bit confusing, right? So don't Don't mind me if I'm not sure why.
Brandon 08:58
It's kind of like The Rescuers Down Under Right. Right. The it's that's definitely McLeish is definitely George see Scott. You're like wait a minute. Right. Like don't even know when you're young me like the new like watch old movies when you get older and like, Wait, hold on. Or actually, you watch A Christmas Carol? Right? That's what you do. The other George Scott movie I can think about top my head. If you are like me, that voice sounds familiar. Haha. Right. I don't know. Something I was talking about somebody the other week. They don't remember who it was. Like that. I don't know. I feel like I have a mixed reaction to celebrity voice acting.
09:51
Hmm, right. Okay.
Brandon 09:54
I feel like part of this is like the rose tinted Two glasses of nostalgia, right? Like creeping up on me here because like, whenever you have like a I don't remember who even who it was, but like, you know, like, a lot of times now I've had his movies and it's like, oh, you Chris Pratt is going to be the voice actor.
10:17
Like, I don't care.
Brandon 10:21
He's not a voice actor. He's just as like an actor, actor. So like, the fact that he is there is not really adding anything for me. Right? It's not like, it's there to have a name in the bill. Yes.
10:37
Like,
Brandon 10:38
is it actually good for the character? Right, when you have a lot of professionals whose job it is to voice act? Right. That's a very different skill sets. Hmm. Right. You know what I mean? And so like, some of these people don't have it. Now. I'm not saying that Vincent Price didn't have it, because it's of its price. Right. So like, whatever, but a lot of another one, or you know, it just it just, it's it always is lackluster, right. You're not getting like Jim Cummings. Right. Like, why Jim Cummings? Get Jim Cummings to do something. Right. The man is incredible. And secretly the voice of like, every single character that you love, right? Like, you know, it's, there's a lot of people like that, where they're like, really, really good. And like, really, really impressive. And then like, I would much rather just have them that like,
11:43
random actor,
Brandon 11:45
right lane? Was gonna wanna really better because the rock was in it. Right? Probably not. Right, like, other than I guess he's Polynesian. And so it fits the character. But other than that, like, he's not bringing a lot of voice acting props. Yeah. Oh, he's not got mad skills, like all these other people do, right? Like, just, you know, like, I don't know, when you have when you have the range to be like, you know, Winnie the Pooh and a Ninja Turtle Rafeal. Like you really?
12:27
Yeah, yeah. Because, because
Collin 12:30
in just a whole lot more comes from that because a good an excellent voice actor, it is going to be must imbue so much in the tone of their voice that an actor can't. Because their doesn't, isn't forced to, I'll say that, like, sure, like really good actors use tonality and voice and inflection and all sorts of stuff. But they're also using body posture, facial features, like setting like all sorts of stuff that like this is a person in a booth, completely separated from anything going on. As far as where this voice will be applied to. And I know sometimes they watch scenes before and they kind of like see what's going on but like, still, like it's I don't I don't know how they do that. It's It boggles my mind. Yeah. And
Brandon 13:17
and, like, just the range that you have, right? These people like, I mean, the rock
13:26
has the rock.
Brandon 13:30
That's kind of it right? Like there's not there's not another character in there. Yeah, right. Like, I just pulled up. Jim Cummings like little like a PDF in here. And it's kind of like, like the range here right again, and we he is
13:56
you know, in
Brandon 13:59
a lot of characters just like all over the place, right? We have again, Winnie the Pooh, right? He is. In DuckTales. Right? He is in the real Ghostbusters. He is. Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, one of the greatest shows of all time, it is in tailspin. Another of the greatest shows shows the Pirates of dark water another of the greatest right like he was like random characters in Batman The Animated Series. Your boy was also one of the dudes in the Cowboys of new Mesa just so you know that he's peaked in Gucci. Right? It is like
Collin 14:42
after that it was all downhill sorry, but But ya know, is
Brandon 14:45
it the MDX is in Wildcats? He is in Oh, Aladdin. He is like and it's not the same person, right? He has the characters he's developing the Ah, the thing is, so it's like got different inflections and different speech patterns and different like voice sounds and things like that. Like this is like it's ranged. It's like, outstanding, right? It's like, it's like if it's like the
15:16
like, if you want to compare
Brandon 15:18
some of these people to like, normal, like not normal, but like Screen Actors where it's like the whole Facial Body thing, right?
15:27
It's like, Daniel Day Lewis. Right? Oh, sure.
Brandon 15:33
Like you see if you watch Daniel Day Lewis in a movie, it's not Daniel Day, Lewis. You're watching. Yeah. Where is it? Good. I'm just gonna this is just a branded rags on the rock episode, I guess. But like, like, if you watch the rock in a movie, it's just, it's just the rock all the time. Sure. Right. It's just if you watch San Andreas, and you watch one of the Fast and Furious movies, and you watch whatever other movie he's in, it's like the same person. Right? What sometimes he's like shadier, right.
16:11
It's a little bit. Yeah. Yeah.
Brandon 16:15
It's unfortunate that he's decided he only wants to, like, he's not like, they'll rock rock like Big Angry shouting rather than be hilarious. Right? But like, he's still like, he's still partially that character, even like, a wrestling character. So it's like, hey, the wrestler kind of in movies, right? Whereas like, Daniel Day, Lewis is never the same person. Right? Like, right? I feel like if you watch Daniel Day, Lewis, like, you're watching him to be because like, he's like an incredible actor. And there is a very big difference between, like, the last of the Mohicans and Gangs of New York, right? That is not the same.
Collin 17:00
Man, he really takes that movie that gangs in New York in the movie and like, really changes it like he's, he's quite a force to be reckoned with. Absolutely.
Brandon 17:08
I mean, he's insane. Right? Yes. I really like that whole movie up until like, the last 15 minutes and then the end of the movie is just useless. i It makes me grumpy. Like, I don't like it. The end is horrible. Like, it's the most. Like you've made me sit through three hours for this like anti climactic nonsense. It's on Earth. Martin Scorsese, what is wrong with you? I don't understand. That's just rude.
Collin 17:36
I've, it's one of those movies that that like, like, Oh, my goodness, it's just as a visually stunning film set. And everything is just like dripping with, with, like, you just want to pour over it in looking at it because everything's so pretty. And it makes it anyway, it's a visually stunning movie. And, and yeah, and then it's like, build, build, build, build, build, and then let down.
Brandon 18:06
It's like, there's like no resolution, and it's just like the end.
Collin 18:11
Anyway.
Brandon 18:16
Back to what we weren't stressed by this. Yeah. So that's that. Yes. That may be expressed. Right. But like
18:29
Yeah. But that's Well, yeah. And, and, I mean,
Collin 18:37
Jim Cummings are going back to him. Like he's still very active in doing voice acting, like, tons of credits still to this day, like knocking him out in 2023. So still still at his craft, doing what he does. So kinda, it's cool to see that two of the kinds of characters he's taking on now as well. Yeah. So like,
Brandon 19:01
again, you have people like this professional voice actors. Did you really need to cast Chris Pratt to be Mario, where he just plays Chris Pratt, as Mario like, it's not like different. It's not like even a different voice. It's like, it's just like, AIDS me Chris Pratt. Like it's
19:25
like, Thank you.
Brandon 19:26
You had the Mario guy right. Here, right. Don't Don't Don't do that. Like.
19:34
Yeah, plus, right over there. Right. What are we doing here? No.
Brandon 19:40
Just don't just as long as you don't get Captain Lou again. Okay, that would be good. Don't do that again. That was that's too much. Right? Yeah, that fever dream of a show that exists, right? Like it's not unfortunate. Did you remember any of that? Do you ever see that? Unfortunately I do it's
Collin 20:07
not a good one
Brandon 20:11
for a long time, right before this is the this again this is that weird part about being alive before the internet that that shows on the listeners if you're unaware of what in the world I'm talking about here I forget we have some younger listeners, right people from other countries here. So there was a Super Mario Brothers TV show in like 1989. Starring wrestling sensation Captain Lou Albano, right. Huh? That's a that's a sentence for you. Anyway, it's, like, half like live action. Right. And I think there was some anime stuff too. But it's like real weird. Right and doesn't make any sense. It's real. It's real beard. Gay. It's all those craziness going on here. And like,
21:13
I
Brandon 21:15
yeah, you looked at the picture. Didn't you write as
Collin 21:17
well? Well, so I was I was as we were talking. Yes. No, I distinctly remember this. And then I look, I just want to thank all those people out on the internet doing God's work, because Jay Lowry 1986 has compiled all 65 episodes. My guy
Brandon 21:34
there's 65 episodes. Jay, what on earth?
Collin 21:38
Have this on YouTube? Link,
Brandon 21:40
bro. All right. Yes, I'll make that I'm gonna watch some of those. But like, this is this is a show that I like. I don't even know where I like saw it. Like, friends houses. Right?
Collin 21:57
I don't remember a SOT friends.
Brandon 21:59
I don't. I don't even know. Like, where? This. Like what this played on? Right. Like, I don't know, right? I'm not sure exactly. But I didn't ever watch it at my house. That's the important party. Yes. It so it was on somewhere on some station that I can't find in here. Right. Also, I was captured Lou in the wrestling Hall of Fame. That's really interesting. Anyway, in front of Cyndi Lauper. I believe. Is that true? Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, sorry. Like, this is a show that I didn't ever watch at my house.
22:43
And so I,
Brandon 22:50
like, I had just had these like vague recollections of like, pieces of scenes, right. And I like, there was no way in my younger life to like, authenticate that this really happened. Right? Because a lot of people you talk to you like, Yo, do you watch the Super Mario TV show? They'll be like, No, I was talking about.
23:10
Yeah, I wanted that. I really was that
Brandon 23:14
real? Like, I don't I remember there was like a basement Spry or something. I don't either stairs going down to a basement at one point. And then like, I don't know, like, there was a lot of years where it's like, I don't I cannot confirm that this was real. Man, it's like that. It's such a wild like, real it I would have been young and like, if I would have been watching it, it would have like, only like, half paying attention because I don't think we like sat down to watch it. No,
23:48
I think it was like, also on. Yeah. Right. Like,
Collin 23:53
oh my gosh, yeah. No, and the ending credits are the best because it's a straightened minute. ablute Dancing to the Mario theme song just on a loop. Bass
Brandon 24:09
right. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's, it's things like that. But yeah, it was like,
Collin 24:14
how much of my childhood was like it like it? How much more of it is yet to be unlocked by thing? Like, it's terrifying to think
24:25
it's just even real.
Brandon 24:27
I don't know what's happening anymore. Like oh, gosh, yeah, that's that's one of those things what like, bad and like, we talked before, like dinosaurs. I have that feeling about that show too. Like the Mario one was even worse, because like I didn't remember.
24:51
Like, any plot
Brandon 24:52
points or catchphrases were, like nothing. I just remembered that it was there. And that for some reason They were live action plumbers in a basement and I just didn't know what to do
Collin 25:09
I carry this information into my head. Is
Brandon 25:15
this happening? Oh man, it's just like I can't. Oh my goodness, like, title screen thumbnail is like horrible. I found your boy here. Your jig? I hear you I find that by the way. It's a lot of episodes. Maybe I will actually watch these but I have to watch a couple of them just to see what in the world going on. Because yeah, I just don't. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, as long as we don't have him back from
25:50
there. Okay. Well,
Collin 25:51
I think that will probably be arranged by studios. Lesson learned people. Lesson learned? Oh, it's fever dream. It's a show. It's so weird. So, yeah, well, this week, I'll tell you. This week has been very odd. I ft fever dreams but like real world pay. So I got a very thick packet from the IRS. Yesterday, Yeah, yesterday. That sounds bad.
Brandon 26:27
Nobody likes to have this. No. And I open it up.
Collin 26:32
It's addressed to me that has the name of my podcast
26:35
in it in my address, and I go, that's weird. And it says, Hey,
Collin 26:44
we've been having trouble contacting you. Um, but just go in and fill out these forms to get your address updated. That's, that's all good. But I keep flipping through. And then I came in, I realize
27:05
that
Collin 27:07
it's saying like, we've tried to contact you like all year. And I'm like, oh, no, what, what has happened? And I keep and then three, four pages down. It's like, something like, Hey, we can't change your S Corp. Because we don't have any record of you being an escort. So go ahead and just make sure and file that or don't file that if you don't want to be an escort. I think oh, well, I've I didn't I didn't try to I didn't try to dissolve it S Corp. And then at the very back is a letter that's written to the IRS saying, Hey, we all are members of an S corp. And we don't want to be members of an S corp anymore. And attach to our signatures testifying thusly. So please remove that from our designation. And I'm like, What is going on? Like, why do I have this piece of mail
28:03
in my my
Collin 28:05
hands because it's got like social security numbers, it's got all sorts of stuff on it. And then I realized that at the very top of their letter in their letterhead, their business identification number their EIN
Brandon 28:18
is our business EIN. Oh, oh minutes. And like go didn't fishy going on here. Ah, ah. So now
Collin 28:41
I've got to call the IRS. And basically, these people had said like, yeah, as of this date, we don't be an escort anymore. So no worries just here's our spec pages.
28:52
So I'm,
Collin 28:53
I call the clerk I call the IRS hotline. And I'm just so that everybody is aware this is your public service announcement for this episode.
29:01
At no point. I no point.
Collin 29:05
Do they have a phrase that says if you've accidentally received the mail of another business press for up they don't have that option?
Brandon 29:14
I mean, surprise, surprise, Addy were.
29:22
So I had to basically
Collin 29:24
just hit buttons until I could talk to somebody and explain what was going on. And let me tell you, it was a little weird to explain what's going on why
Brandon 29:32
explanation that must have been?
29:36
Because they were like, they're like, Oh, well,
Collin 29:39
you know, did you follow the blog? I was like, No, this is not me. Like I don't have this. I finally got to a person who was like, Okay, give me your business information. And he says a phrase that I absolutely hate of like, this happens from time to time.
29:55
I'm like, how do you switch Bernie so much that like, nobody really shouldn't have done that for us.
Collin 30:08
And then, and I understand if there's 400 million or so you know, businesses in North America and in the United States, okay, fine, like 1% of those has an issue, right? Like, what do you what do you do? It's just I don't like the IRS saying that this happens, this mix up happens, because if this happens for this, like, and we're getting aside from politics, it's like, do you want to like, have them scrutinize more things? Like, if we can't get our systems in place, like I have, I'm hurting right now. So anyway, I give him my information. And he's like, No, there's nothing here. And he starts going through some stuff that he goes, Well, you know, what I would do if those papers that you have there, I mean, just throw them away? We'll keep trying to get in touch with the other people.
31:08
I'm like, I'm like, No.
Collin 31:14
I'm not just doing that. He was well, I guess he goes, if, if you really want to do something, just put it back in the envelope and say, wrong address, and send it back to us. And I was like, no, no, because
Brandon 31:28
burn them. Right. Like, put it in the, in the, in the fire.
Collin 31:32
thing. Like, it's my EIN, you found me for all, you know, message delivered, right? That's what that's all the IRS knows, right? Is it got that we're done? We're not going to it's like, no, I literally can't do that. Because this is this is wrong. And so flash forward to where he also tells me, Oh, well, we have been getting traction contact you with you about your, your your business. And I was like, Oh, he's like, so I guess it's kind of good that you got this letter. And here's the thing, when we registered this business, we have an option to do what's called a Registered Agent. This is very common in businesses. It's where basically you go, you know, I don't want my personal information to be associated with my business. As far as like my personal home address, I'd rather have it listed through a listing agency, and all of my mail and important stuff goes to them. And then they their job is to then forward it on to me, common business practice lots and lots of companies, if you've ever, like looked up a business, and like, several of them have the same address or like it's like, oh, no, nobody actually lives at that address. It's a registered agent who's doing that for different businesses. Yeah.
Brandon 32:43
All right. Well, we
Collin 32:44
did that we like, Okay, we'll set it for this. It's weird. You know, it's supposed to be an international podcast, it'll look weird. People will be fighting it and going to whatever. So
32:51
we did this, well, then we stopped doing it. Ah, and
Collin 32:58
turns out when you stop paying for the Registered Agent, is when they get your mail, they just throw it away.
Brandon 33:07
I mean, makes sense. Yeah. It doesn't make sense, right? Like,
Collin 33:13
you're not paying them to for it anymore. So why would they forward it to you exactly right, like this?
Brandon 33:19
Oh, they understand. Cyril, we
Collin 33:23
have updated all of our business information, except for our registered
33:28
business with the IRS. And so they had
Collin 33:32
last or this past year when we had filed all of our paperwork. So as here's your business information, as an LLC, we have to fire lots of different forms, printed them all out, send them out to the IRS, and
33:43
two of them disappeared. Oh, fun.
Collin 33:49
And to which the guy said, Don't worry,
33:52
it happens all the time.
Brandon 33:55
Again, not just super helpful, right? It's not, he was like, Look,
Collin 34:01
do you have any proof that you've mailed these? And I'm like,
34:06
Oh, well, would
Collin 34:08
I have proof that I mailed all nine other pieces of paper, but not these last two like half? Unless I physically take a video of me stuffing an envelope one page at a time, right? Holding while while Megan holds up a newspaper behind my head like, no way.
34:26
So he was like here, he's like,
Collin 34:30
I can take some notes. I wrote down this letter that he dictated to me and was like, go find go print it off. And sure enough, I mean, honestly, every time I mail in our paperwork, I always print off two copies. And I store hardcopy here at home. The hardcopy that I have here at home has these two pieces of paper at it. That's all I can say. Look, that's all I can say people, they I did the right thing. And then he told me the fee that was associated with not filing these two pieces of information in them I hope they take my plea. Did my piece of paper? That's all I have to say?
Brandon 35:08
Yes, take it back with y'all. Do you have any proof that you didn't lose it? See, this is the thing was so now is the guy was like was? Yeah, the guy was like,
Collin 35:19
Well, you know, sometimes they get separated during processing. And I was like, So why
35:25
am I getting fined?
Collin 35:28
Fine, whatever, whatever, I'll send this send this again. Right? So now I've got this huge stack of documents that don't belong
Brandon 35:36
to me. So what do we do?
Collin 35:41
Got to try and find the owners of this piece of paper and let them know angry?
Brandon 35:47
Well, the IRS can't find it, what are you going to do about it?
Collin 35:49
Your address is on the piece of paper, okay. And here's the problem is that they, here's the problem, IRS will only send business information to a business address, they won't send it to an individual members address at all, they have to send it to the registered business address. And that address apparently was put on wrong or something's wrong with it. So I have the list of everybody. I mean, I have all of their personal information and details. So I just, I mean, I just start Googling these people. Board. And calling phone numbers
Brandon 36:23
is a real weird question. But you know, you so and so the work to blah, blah. I got these IRS papers for you
Collin 36:33
exactly what I said. I mean, I said, Hi, my name is Colin, this is going to be a really weird conversation right now. Where are you in business with these three people with? Or what I said? I said, um, I have some documents that were accidentally mailed to me by the IRS because they're trying to get in touch with you. And your has your business partners listed. And then I just kind of stopped talking and let their wheels turn because I didn't want to give away too much information. Because then I was like, oh, like, I can't just be like, is your social security number of way? Yeah. I've got to have them prove to me that these people are who they say they are. Yeah. And so I, you know, they confirm all of the information to me. And the guy was like, um, so I called, I started with the bottom, I was working my way up and and I called the first person they didn't respond. But I left a message I called the second guy. He responded, he answered his phone. I was like, that's weird. There's some like investment, like, real estate agency out in California. Right? And I'm like, Hi.
Brandon 37:42
Did she was like, you know, and he's like, Yeah,
Collin 37:47
that's me. That's weird. I thought we sent that off a long time ago. And I said, yeah, it says, You sent it off in March. And he was like, Yeah, I thought so. So I sent him digital copies of these just to get them off of my plate. I then caught then the lady First Lady, I called she called me back and was like, what agency are you with? And I was like, Yeah, I'm not with an agency and in my head that got the wrong mail. Just have the wrong mail. Because then she was like, Wait, where are you? And why do you have my papers? It was like she was it took, I don't know, I was like, I saw I didn't what
Brandon 38:20
I said was, your IRS guy said, this happens sometimes. Yeah,
Collin 38:24
it's this happens all time. Your document, the EIN that you use is actually my EIN for my business. And so they sent your papers to me. And the reason that it's just getting to me is because we actually changed our address, but didn't update the United States government. So I'm in a little bit of trouble here, too. So if you did this in March, and I'm just getting it in December, just FYI.
38:48
And she was like, oh, yeah, we set up that LLC three
Collin 38:53
years ago. And we found out just this year that our CPA was not doing anything, right.
39:03
Oh, that's what it was like, not
Collin 39:06
filing appropriately recovery doing anything appropriately. I was like,
39:12
Oh, okay. He's like, I got it.
Collin 39:19
He was like, that's actually why we had to dissolve that LLC. Because technically, it doesn't exist
Brandon 39:31
that is quite a problem. Right? Like it's
Collin 39:38
so they have this like path
Brandon 39:40
to that paperwork, man. Right. Oh, my goodness. I was just like, whoa, well,
Collin 39:51
and she was like, I actually would like those physical copies if you could get them to me and I was like, Sure. You know, Sure, I'll get them back to you. Because if they don't dissolve this S corp like, like, like, like they were supposed to be filing paperwork all this year basically
Brandon 40:16
that's a pretty not fun surprise a whole week, you know? Yep. Yep. So
Collin 40:20
it was like this just like this out of time out of body experience of being like, you don't know me, but I know you and here's this thing. And the IRS guy said it's okay. I just
Brandon 40:34
why am I doing this? Why? Bill the IRS for years. I did your job for two and a half hours today. So I know my bill or people.
40:46
Look,
Collin 40:48
I made a phone call. Take me seven months to figure this out. Okay.
40:54
Phone call. Yeah. Ah. So
Collin 40:59
I got to play an IRS agent basically.
41:04
What I found a that best
Brandon 41:15
Yep. Oh, yeah. That's real weird. That's real. Right.
Collin 41:23
You know, and it was like, all of a sudden, yeah, here goes literally four hours of my day trying to get the same
41:28
error of but, you know, I
Collin 41:31
wouldn't I wouldn't have it any other way. I mean, I would
Brandon 41:34
buy just like, like, my Yeah, I think my least favorite product story is also the IRS guy. He's like,
41:40
whatever. Hold on.
Brandon 41:44
I was under the impression that these these were not like, whatever type of situations right when the IRS evolved, I think. I didn't think it was an option, right. I didn't think at
Collin 41:54
the time was like, yeah, when he was just like, Nah,
41:57
just throw those away.
Collin 42:01
I'm like, No, these are like original documents. What are you talking about?
42:05
Bro, these way? We would you
Collin 42:09
say, Oh, I was so and yeah, he was just like, yeah, no, it's fine. Yeah, well, it'll take some time, but we'll get it sorted out. In my head. I was like, no, no, you
Brandon 42:27
this doesn't make sense, right? Like, I feel like if we can just like resend this weird, antiquated rule of like, you can't send business material to not a business address that, like all of this would have been solved, right? This would just go into dude's house. All right. Got it. Like, let's go like that's real. That's real weird. I don't know why. I know. I like that. The whole thing the whole thing was just
Collin 43:01
is this really happening? And then when I sent the guy the other business owner my information increased spotted with like, completely so it's got, of course all of the documents also have our names, our business information, our business name with the podcast, and he responded with spotted with easy said the name was podcast. He's like, What the Bleep is that? That's that's a whole bleep and more fun than what we're doing.
Brandon 43:29
Like yeah, get on it's
Collin 43:37
funny, cuz because here's this guy. He's in like, you know, real estate investing. And he's been in this three, four to other companies and stuff. And his immediate response is like, What the Bleep is that?
Brandon 43:50
Yeah, they're real estate investing does not sound fine at all. Oh no. I do. I do appreciate his surprise though. Like, wait, what?
44:16
made me laugh.
Collin 44:17
I was like, Okay, well, fine. Well, at least somebody's getting at least he's getting a kick out of this
Brandon 44:24
mystery of marriage was had today when somehow the IRS was involved in somebody that happy about something anyway, look at that, despite their best despite
Collin 44:35
in spite of their best efforts, otherwise,
Brandon 44:40
or worst efforts, apparently. So it sounds like these highly important, sensitive documents just put them in the trash can. It's fine. Don't worry about why. Okay. Because the best part about this whole thing is like, based on their current track record, right? If they're like, oh, yeah, well, we'll just, we'll just try again. Right, the problem is would have sent them back to you. Yes. Anyway, because nothing would have been resolved. Just like, like nothing would be changed, and get them back again. I did. I thought we fixed it.
Collin 45:24
What do you mean? I'm just gonna push these back into the stream? You're just going to send them back to me like you found out your lesson.
45:32
What are you talking about? You're like,
Brandon 45:34
oh, we'll change that number. And they wouldn't have changed the number. And if they would have just,
45:40
oh, yes,
Collin 45:41
I knew. I knew if I push the boat away, it will just come four more months. It would just come back lapping back up to the shore to find me sitting there like a schmuck of the car. What's this massive it's even thicker this time. Oh, okay. Yeah. Great.
Brandon 46:01
With anger here, now with angry your IRS letters? Oh,
46:06
yes. Yeah. Well, that's Oh, my gosh, that's kinda Oh,
Collin 46:12
that's quite well, is it kind of happened to me? Did I tell you the saga baby? I did. Whenever after I bought our car. I got a call from the I got a letter from the Department of Revenue, was worried about revenue saying like, you didn't pay sales tax on this Venmo. You didn't tell me? Okay. I didn't tell you this. Okay. So
Brandon 46:36
very primitive revenue, ruining things. Okay, real wrong. Real
Collin 46:40
quick on this. This is the so the IRS agent saying like, Oh, this happens all the time. This also happened, okay. It's same car actually, that we bought, I had to go renew the license plates. And I showed up and I'm like, What do I need to erase it? I didn't get any card that tells me I it's expired. And she goes, Oh, did you move? And I went, No, I've moved to the island, same place, as long as I've been back to Missouri. And she goes, Okay, sometimes they don't go out. And I had I'm like, you have three cars. None of them. None of them come to me.
Brandon 47:09
I never get any notice that something's going to expire. They're one of your we didn't get ours. Right. And they were like, we didn't get it at all. And it wasn't like the first year we got the car either, which is weird. Like we had gotten this thing. And then we didn't get thing. And then the next time we got the thing again, I was like, What? What in the world?
Collin 47:33
This is what she said? She said, she said, Oh, sometimes they don't go out. And she just shrugs and I'm like, Okay, so the one reminder that you send to people to make sure that their tax don't expire, so that they don't have to pay a fine. You're just like, yeah, sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't what gives anyway. Okay, so then she's like, I need your information. I give her my license plate and give her my driver's license and everything. She looks at my license plate. And she goes, Are you sure this is the right one? And I said, Well, I just took a picture of it before I went over here and I show it to her. And she goes, Ah, it's not registered to you. I went to whom is it registered? And her response? Are you ready for this? No was dope want? How did you get the license plate? To which she responds? Don't worry, this happens all the time. Oh, no. No. Oh. And she said, Well, sometimes when we're making a new one. It just doesn't get put into the system. Like whoever did this when I was standing in front of them and they were frantically typing on a keyboard was apparently just playing minesweeper. Like they were just doing nothing. And then just passed the plates along to be and never entered them into the database.
Brandon 49:01
Efficiency isn't dominant around the past year on so it's good that you didn't get pulled over because, gosh, you would have been like facedown in the ditch, right? Like, what's
Collin 49:17
the car's counterfeit plates or something? Yeah, like it would
Brandon 49:21
obviously been all over sniffing, right? Yeah, she's just like stuff in there.
Collin 49:27
She's just like, this is that's all flashing through my head of like, what would have happened? And she's just off I got like, Erec like caveman license plate number to somebody. And then he's the insurance all that slashing overhead, and she's just like, that's fine happens. Well, she's like, well, I can't use those anymore. So just throw those old ones away.
49:50
I'll give you some new ones.
Brandon 49:57
Alright, so I got to do it. Right Oh my gosh, standard piece of news. What about about six months? Wow, your turn. About six months prior to this, I got a letter. I was seven months,
Collin 50:15
I got a letter from the park revenue saying you never paid sales tax on this vehicle that was sold. I looked at the car, it's got my name. It's got my address, it's got a VIN number that I
Brandon 50:28
don't own. So I say, well, send it to the wrong person.
Collin 50:34
I'm gonna throw this away. So I did. A week later, my bank calls me and says, Hey, Colin, can you look out kid? Do you have XYZ vehicle? And I said, Yeah, it's in my garage, right now. They go, can you go check? And I went? Yeah. And I go out looking at it. And they go, Okay, well, we just got a notice for a hold on you. Because the department revenue hasn't received payment on the vehicle that you bought. And I went, Oh, yeah, I got that. But it's the wrong Vin. And there was a really long pause.
51:19
And they went through what it was
Collin 51:21
like the car, I said, I got that. But the VIN doesn't match the car that I'm driving.
Brandon 51:33
You know, I hear these things happen sometimes.
Collin 51:39
At which point, they go, well, like they start panicking. They're like, you need to contact who you bought it from. And we start trying to trace what happened. So I contacted the dealer, and there they sent me all of their documents, all their documents have the correct VIN number associated with this. So they didn't because at first the bank was like, well, sometimes the dealer will put the wrong VIN on your sale receipts, bla bla bla type
Brandon 52:04
it wrong. I key it wrong, maybe
Collin 52:06
Yeah, absolutely.
Brandon 52:08
Or they're laundering money. And they're just like putting, I mean,
Collin 52:12
that's putting fake VIN numbers and file off for weight savings, right? Like
Brandon 52:16
123456
Collin 52:20
Exactly. So I'm like, Oh my gosh, did I get this happened? And I call them and I tell them what happened? And they're like, Yeah, I don't have a stolen vehicle. Right? Where's the one that I thought was it anyway, so all their documents are fine. I go through I go to my I go to my insurance agent and I look at the VIN number that's there. It's the right VIN number I look at on my original documents that I got from the the the license Bureau license office it's the it's the VIN number that matches the car in my driveway everything matches so then I swivel to the bank and I say all of these match in you look at the loan document to see and the bank put the wrong
Brandon 53:10
on the loan document do they say don't worry this happens
Collin 53:15
in fact she said this can happen if you if she
Brandon 53:22
she says can I've been with you you typed it sucker into the computer myself at your bank Excuse me lady move out of the way
53:31
deputy type type type this they said well this
Collin 53:35
can happen when you are shopping for multiple vehicles. And then they said because it further like and it doesn't and then she said and it doesn't get update on the document and in my head. I was like who didn't do that?
Brandon 53:49
Right? It doesn't make any sense what why it wasn't me I didn't put it was it your what's
Collin 53:59
your I called you on the phone and I said this is the car I'm giving this
54:03
and you didn't do the thing. And so they filed
Collin 54:10
that that car whatever when that was
54:12
sold to me and
Collin 54:17
the Department of Revenue was like waiting for their check Dighton
Brandon 54:23
Oh my Chaozhou in the
Collin 54:25
cell we had to do and here's the way loans work. They're like a one thing
Brandon 54:30
so here I was like, hang on this loan to a car I didn't that didn't exist just kidding, right? Like not even a real car. Lord, what the hash so the bank
Collin 54:45
had to do like all these hoops to do the transfer and like still guarantee because technically it was a brand new loan, but it was like a year and a half later after rates had like skyrocketed. And they like Yeah, true. So they do I still like held my right to where it was at the beginning, which like they weren't supposed to do all
55:04
this stuff
Brandon 55:05
better than losers.
Collin 55:08
They, they had the gall to tell me Well, the day if you get a document like that in the mail next time, don't throw it away.
Brandon 55:17
The IRS guides on. He said, he
Collin 55:22
said, and I was like, I looked at it. I said, That's not me. And I threw it away. And they were like, well, you I guess you should have called and made some questions in the bowl. And genuinely, when I called the IRS this last this last time, I was like, I wanted to know, like, what do I do with these documents? Like what am I supposed to do? That was my original question. Like, well, and then like a Am I have I been hacked, like, like, but then like, what do I do with these? And he was like, that's fine. Just though. He's, like I said, doesn't concern you? And I'm like, but it kind of does, because might like what I've learned, right, is that the bureau things happen. Sometimes things happen from time to time. And the bureaucratic state just does not care.
Brandon 56:06
Like they're just like, Yeah, whatever, whatever.
56:08
So.
Collin 56:10
So the next time somebody comes to me and says, These things are important, I'm not going to believe them. Because I've talked to the people who do those things.
56:21
And they don't care. They don't
Brandon 56:25
care at all. They don't hear I was worried about my tax forms being all correct all these years. No one cares.
Collin 56:38
And I'm sure if the IRS agents showed up in a black van in front of our house and came knocking, and I turned to them and I said, Look, these things happen from time to time. I don't think they would take that very lightly. And I couldn't enter that. Like, I can't enter. Like, here's the thing, if you get taken in front of a court of law, you can't say look, accident. It happens. No big deal. They're going to go through ignorance. They don't care if you were ignorant of the law, you still broke the law they're going to prosecute you and here they are big like that's fine happens from time to time it was like oh, wait, so you get to plead ignorance and just like and wave away that was with a lawyer like
57:26
I'd be in jail
Brandon 57:31
to good point you know, like it's a good boy
57:39
so
57:47
yeah.
Brandon 57:52
Oh, my guess is the most confusing convoluted thing of all
Collin 58:01
I have three examples, right. Three examples of contacting the bureaucratic state and then going bad habits
Brandon 58:07
does whatever to make my life better.
Collin 58:15
I I found some Arctic I found an article that made me very happy.
58:22
Did you did? Okay, now, you know, you may
Collin 58:25
already know about this. And that's fine. I did not know about this. And I did a very deep dive. Not a very deep dive. But I did a dive into this.
Brandon 58:34
The surface that shallow, shallow dive. Are you do you know, of Brazil's mysterious tunnels? Brazil's mysterious tunnels? I didn't say no. These are tunnels. Laughing is joke. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I might actually, now that I think about this. I was thinking tunnels in like different contexts like urban start. I think I might know what you're talking about. Please continue. Okay.
Collin 59:13
I knew nothing about these. And I genuinely don't know how I came across these but I'm very glad I did. These two meter by two meter tunnels burrowed into like, dense rock for like, like they're like, where did these come from? Who knows? It's like 100 meters long title. And they're like, where did he How was this erosion? Was it something? And then some, some people walked around and went, Oh, no, no, no, no, that was that was totally dug out by a massive sloth or giant armadillo.
59:52
Yes, those I love these robotic eyes. I mean, all 100 meter tunnel dug by a car sized armadillo.
Brandon 1:00:08
Yeah or possibly giant ground sloth unconfirmed as yet which one? Those things are massive I saw that picture that dude like in it
Collin 1:00:25
and he's there and then they showed people like next to like where the claw marks are and the size of
Brandon 1:00:30
the claw marks are like horrifying.
1:00:34
Terrifying.
Collin 1:00:38
And then you come across the other word that just makes like it's makes this whole thing worth it the called paleo burrows. Yes, it's all from a farmer that was plowing his field and his tractor site down into the top of what?
Brandon 1:00:55
I didn't know that. That's fine. I
Collin 1:00:57
was trying to Yeah, some farmer was horrifying surprise.
Brandon 1:01:00
Like, all of a sudden you're in a hole and there's like, giant claw marks on the wall. To get two meter squared, it'll add there's just these like, feet long claw marks on the wall. There's like, what what is your response to that? Would you fall in there? Yeah. How terrifying. Terrifying. really terrifying. And that's like,
Collin 1:01:33
I now they're like, now they found more of these LPs. You know, they've looked for them. But they like they don't understand like, why they're in certain areas. Like why some giant ground sloths or giant armadillos burrowed in some regions versus other regions. And like, why they're like,
1:01:51
so it's like, again,
Collin 1:01:52
it's kind of crazy to see this whole thing unfold. We're like, oh, well, why don't we see them in this region versus this region? Or like, for some reason, they're really concentrated here versus over there and
1:02:02
kind of trying to unravel all that. But I just with like,
Collin 1:02:06
reading about these things. And yeah, seeing people standing these things. It's like, that is like, it's terrifying to think these megafauna were around doing these kinds of things. Like it just I can't even fathom like
Brandon 1:02:25
Yeah, it's crazy. Like, it's, yeah, I this pictures are wild. I, I kind of want to see one. Right. I kind of want to I want to go into, you know, Brazilian MegaFon a ton. All right, I think be cool. Right. I think none of megafauna action in my life currently. Right. So I think that would be good. To do a little bit of that, right?
1:02:49
Yes. Oh, here it is.
Brandon 1:02:54
I was thinking I was this reminded me of something that I read the other day when you're talking about they do it in, in some areas, it not another right. And so
1:03:06
I like a thing
Brandon 1:03:09
that I thought was like, kind of it's in a similar vein, right. So I was reading this thing about everyone's favorite Great Ape, the Ranga. Tang, right. Hey, yes, you know, we love this sumatran orangutan. Right?
1:03:24
And like the,
Brandon 1:03:28
so we have them on like Sumatra and Borneo. Yes. Right. So these are the technically like, they're, you know, thinking maybe Okay, these are like, you know, technically subspecies overhang, right. Like Ranga tangs in certain areas behave like very differently than other ones. Right? It is weird. They do all kinds of like weird stuff.
1:03:53
Like, in
Brandon 1:03:56
in Borneo, they do. So Arang things like do this tree crashing thing. Yeah, right. Where they like knock the tree over. But in Borneo, they ride the tree down. Right? So like, the Sumatran ones, they're like, just kick the tree over and like, look at it. Right? But in Borneo, they will like jump on the tree and like, write it down and be like jump off at the last Oh, cool. Like Captain America. Right? Like, yeah, like jump into the thing right? Or like they make umbrellas out of leaves like differently or they like drink water from the things differently Right? Like from the you know, where water gets trapped in the in the trees, right? Some areas they they like get some like leaves and like squeezing out like a sponge and other ones they like use sticks and like make straws and stuff out of it like this very like it's this weird like I like a Ranga Tang like, cultural elements. Right? Oh, cool. We're think about it's weird to think about these kinds of things, right? Because, you know, as the other great ape, were always like, Oh no, we're the only ones that do this right. But also, here's a question I have for you are there like Armadillo mega fauna, cultural aspects. Right? Are they like, are these ones like burrow for dinning, but other ones like din, on the surface because of like, whatever environmental pressures or whatever they don't have to, but it's like, technically cultural shifts in animals, right? So animals have like these, like cultural things they do. Right? Because in regions, they just do things differently. Right? It's like, making grits. Ah, you know, that's not for everyone. Right? I don't want them. But, you know, apparently, it was. So like, right, good.
Collin 1:06:00
But, you know, because you see that in, like, you see these these have emerged in like, laboratory settings of you teach like 118 learn something and it can teach the rest of the group to do something and then only that, yeah, group will do it. Because I know in the, the tunnels, Paleo Barrows, they have ideas or concepts that maybe these were dug out over the course of like centuries. So this was actually like a communal things. So that would fit right into this of no one individual was digging out all of these, it was a group effort. And if it was something of like, of the oh, that what's the Yeah. What's an example of Have you heard that story of it's a joke where the mom is making a roast, and she cuts off ends and puts it in the pan? And her daughter goes, like, why did you wait, why do you do that? She goes, Oh, it's because it makes it taste better. It's something we've always done. And she goes, go talk to my mom. And then so they go, and they talk to that lady's mom, and she was white. Why didn't she because I learned from my mom's ago. Why do you cut off the pins of the roast? Because Oh, you know, it makes it taste better. Because juices can get in and it's something my mom always did. So they go back to like the great, great grandma. And they go great, great, Grandma, why did you cut off the roasts? You know, why did you cut off the ends of the route? And she goes, Oh, my pan was too short. And I just soft fitted it. Like, I don't know why they started growing. But this is now what we do. We just burrow or whatever, you know, for whatever reason, I don't know. But yes, I think I would be highly unsurprised to think of, to learn that there wasn't a difference like that.
Brandon 1:07:52
I mean, that's true. Yeah. And also, I was thinking like, people are like, Oh my gosh, why would you know, the things that like speculated? Oh, could at the animal could one animal dig this big a burrow. Right. You know, what do you think about like, Okay, well, if like, me are cast Alright, take a burrow that big. What can a giant ground sloth accomplish all by itself? Right. I feel like it's kind of not out of the realm of possibility. That it is the why is a different story, but like, like, oh, it could it be spin one. I mean, giant ground sloth, okay, these small creatures. We know of small creatures that can be enormous burrows. So I feel like a big
Collin 1:08:40
creature. Modern modern day armadillos dig pretty good ones. Yeah. Right. Now imagine a giant one giant barracks not at heart
Brandon 1:08:54
something just like that. The different climate right or like whatever reasons because soil types all types are out of the soil also could not have been like this hard when it was dug right like, right,
Collin 1:09:07
they weren't going through this hard rock. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, pressures or all sorts of stuff.
Brandon 1:09:14
Yeah. Could have been driving him like this. So anyway, I just that
Collin 1:09:20
was my little like, happy way to round off the week. from things
1:09:27
like Oh, yay. It's a good distraction. Right.
Brandon 1:09:38
I forgot about that. I read something about that. Like think about last month. Maybe it's a recent Brazilian tunnel. I was like what?
Collin 1:09:49
Some of these pictures inside are so creepy. Anyway it's so cool, though. I don't know why. I get Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, that we've been getting over sicknesses and watching lots of Christmas movies. Yes, accomplish that. So we rounded off with with the with the we mentioned that Christmas carol earlier so we obviously read it off with the only version that counts. Or there's real Muppets Christmas, Carol. That's right. And we go
1:10:35
it's one of the things that like
Collin 1:10:37
I haven't actually watched that entire movie all the way through and in a little while. Maybe in two years or so. Boy howdy, all the songs just come right back and
Brandon 1:10:49
you've been singing them all day. How are you?
1:10:53
On Hold with IRS than I have here.
Collin 1:11:01
Yeah, exactly. No, it's real bad. Oh, but yeah, that's what we're just hanging out talking to the IRS agents listen to learn about Paleo burrows and a week. In what an exciting week. The Paleo burls make big every week better probably. I feel like that's probably true. I think so. That's just in the rule. Yeah, I think so. Okay, not? No, definitely
Brandon 1:11:33
better than IRS agents and last tax documents. So that's fraudulent license plates, apparently. Just
Collin 1:11:44
look, all I'm saying is, is that when I'm arrested, like just there's so many reasons of why it probably happened, like just Just remember, just be like, Oh, this happens all the time. Like, that's my defense. Like, yes,
Brandon 1:11:57
it happens all the time. Like, and, again, I'm sure. The judge will be like, Oh, you're right. Of course it does. You're right. It doesn't Yeah,
Collin 1:12:14
I did. I did write I did write a haiku.
Brandon 1:12:17
This all man here we go. Okay. So I kind
Collin 1:12:20
of I was gonna, I was gonna say the, say the Haiku and have you guess why I wrote it, but I didn't. I did not write it about Paleo Burroughs or, or about IRS agents because I just, I just couldn't even fire. I did. I did write it about the Muppets Christmas Carol. So oh,
Brandon 1:12:39
all mad this season. Just got real excited. Right.
Collin 1:12:46
So we'll see. We'll see. I don't have goodness. Okay. Muppets lights and cheer. Scrooges tail with a fun twist. Joy in each puppets part? Oh, yeah. I like it.
Brandon 1:13:06
Very excellent.
1:13:08
There we go. So
Collin 1:13:11
we'll put that one in the book. We'll put them up with they're all going in the book. We got to figure out Courtney on this, by the way. That's true. I don't I don't like flip cards or something. Or I think we need to make them perforated so people can tear them out from somebody
Brandon 1:13:24
really cool. I was thinking about different, like, different fonts for different ones. Right. Like that would be I think that would be important for this. Right? Like different font styles for different haikus. Right. I think that would be cool. Right? A little more like whimsical, right? A little more like, hard edged in some serious, right? It'd be good for whatever the vibe striking, like font could be fun addition to this. Yes. I publish a physical book. Yeah, we'll get on that. For now accumulating some of these so that
Collin 1:14:09
you know, actually, oh, um, I think I actually know, one of our clients is actually an an editor for this kind of thing. Oh, man, there we go. Well, just add that to our 2024 list. I like it.
Brandon 1:14:27
Right, if I need to add server graphics and like a bonus poetry to like, fill out the rest of book let me know for volume one. Volume One. Right.
Collin 1:14:36
That's right. The history of the world Part Two or whatever?
Brandon 1:14:41
No, yeah, when we publish it, it should just be like, Oh, brother poetry part one, or one? Yeah. Boom. And then
Collin 1:14:51
that way you think something is going to happen? True.
Brandon 1:14:54
Or I have always wanted to do the thing where you release just like something called part two. Yeah,
Collin 1:15:00
this is what this is saying. Like,
Brandon 1:15:05
Barry. Oh, and then here's what we'll do. Oh, okay. What was it? Don't tell anyone. Like, we'll publish like 100 Volume One. Oh, just like, that's it. And then Volume Two would be like a mass.
Collin 1:15:22
Right? So they're out there if you
Brandon 1:15:24
want. Do you want volume volume water out there? Right, but like, you know, it's like real rare. Collect the right. That would be hilarious. Wow. Gonna be autograph you know, who knows? Like autograph not by us, but somebody maybe will be us.
Collin 1:15:51
Binding randomly. Oh, yeah. Did you get the one side by Steven? Snow?
