You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Guys, I did my taxes recently. God, I hate doing that. I hope you asked for an extension. I did. I had to do it for the first time with business taxes for my dad's podcast. Man, that's annoying. Yeah, business taxes, personal taxes, all that. I always file an extension,

because you always need time to make sure that your T's are crossed and your I's are dotted and what nots. But I had this happen where I feel the need to dress up for my accountant in a way that I don't dress up at work. Oh, you show up in person? I show up in person, yeah.

Because we got a lot of things to discuss. Mine's all over email. Yeah, I do it all over email. I'm an in-person guy me and my me and my boy Tony two Tony's cutting it up I go to his office. We have some coffee seat though. We talk I'm usually there probably about an hour and a half two hours We go through everything to make sure everything's up and up wait So you're telling me Gavin wait a minute So you're telling me if you come to work dressed casually and you have that appointment after you'll go home and get changed Yeah, I changed I put pants on like not pants like slacks

But like I'll put jeans or pants because I'm usually wearing short I was about to throw stones at you, but I just realized that I've done that before for picking up my daughter from school So you know dress up for picking up your dress up, but just I don't like basketball shorts Yeah, I can't have these slides. I did that for the first time because my wife asked me in a pinch, can you pick our daughter up from school? And I was not prepared for that.

You're like, yeah, I'll do it. I just finished the Peloton. 40 minutes of pure German adrenaline. Attaboy. Because I just like the way that they scream at me. Now, what are we fearful thereof? Do we think that other- I'm fully nude.

No, I was more talking to Mike there, like at the school. Do we think that other? I'm fully, I'm fully nude. No, I was more talking to Mike there, like with the, at the school. Like, do we think that, do we think that people think we don't have a job? Like, even though we know we have a job, but like, I don't want you to think that I'm not doing anything every day. Apologies for how this sounds, there's Miami vernacular, Bummy.

And a lot of people show up to the school kind of Bummy. And like, that's a Miami aesthetic to itself. But yeah, I, what I'm doing there is like, I've been recognized there a couple of times. And there's a lot of dads. And I don't know. The assistant principal got me at my daughter's school. Yeah, they all have Google.

They all find out anybody has anything of note. People talk. And they do deep dives and social media investigations. So I tried to not go there looking my worst, 40 minutes mismatched clothing, wearing slides because I just finished a 40 minute Peloton right in German. But your accountant's your boy. Yeah, the thing is, I'm financially nude

in front of my accountant. So he knows what I make, he knows what I do. Financially nude. Yeah, so it's not like I can show up and be like, oh wow, this guy's in a suit and tie or he's dressed nice. Like, I know what you make, dude, like it's okay. Well, it's a little different when they know and be like oh wow this guy's in a suit and tie or he's dressed nice like I know what you make do it gets okay Well, it's a little different when they know you because my dad always told me and like whenever I went to Nordstrom to get nice clothes He's like show up in nice clothes because they treat you a different way you better

Yeah, you're not some rook right and also like if you're trying on a suit It's better if you have the undershirt already ready to go But he's like you dress to Nordstrom for the look that you're aspiring to and they take you more seriously. Exactly right. So is it the same way with an accountant? I don't wear it yet, at least for me, just cause I wanna make sure that I'm looking

not in basketball shorts and a t-shirt when he walks in, cause he knows my dad, he does my dad's taxes too. So it's like the generation of, I do his dad's taxes, he shows up in like business attire. Are you also sending a message, like you're not going to get one over on me pal. I wore slacks. Not again, not slacks. Jeans. But you know what I mean? Pants. Yeah. Like, yeah, like you're, he's going to take care of me. I know that because I, there's, you know,

you got a couple of things in the middle. You're a big account. You're a big account. You know, I gotta make sure that all my things are the times that I've done in a row, the times that I've felt financially nude, I've never used that phrase before, is like when anytime you're at the bank and you're making a deposit, like you ever like, you know, the checking account, the checking account fluctuates. Like I have some stuff in savings,

but the checking account, you know, if bills came out, it can look a little low sometimes. And I always feel really insecure of like, you know there's usually more money in there. I do it. You see my savings? It's right next to it. I'm with a bank that just like, uh, just introduce a new feature on a website, which says your net worth. And

it goes up there. I'm like, that's what you think. Okay. That's what I'm in on. Yeah. Yeah. No, if you think that's my number, okay. You know what? Actually like that. You think that. Yeah. Cause I know I got a couple of your boy can liquidate like this. I stumbled into a find out your net worth website before where it's like just write in how much you have in your savings, what do you own, houses, car, and I found out, I was like wow, that's my net worth. Better or worse than what you thought?

It's not though. My house is kind of expensive, so it was actually a little better when I owned my house. Yeah, but I'm looking at that number, I'm like you're not even considering the amount that this piece of real estate is increased Yeah, that's true. You have no idea what's on my wrist right now. That's right attaboy So yeah, I go I go and make sure that that's the one appointment in my life the doctor

I can go in shorts and a t-shirt I don't care like other things I can go in a short to the t-shirt But when I show up in my account, I'm like look I'm here to do business me and you were gonna make things happen I know you're gonna make sure that my taxes are up and up, that way I can get a little kickback from Uncle Joe. Well you're wearing a collared shirt, Joe, you're good. I should wear a collared shirt every time I fire up

this bank website and they try to tell me what I'm worth. Number one, you don't assign my value. You're not in charge of this.
