Join hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive into the chaos of Tax Day with their signature blend of humor and insight.In this episode, the crew revisits a memorable segment featuring the most famous CPA in Oklahoma, JJ the CPA. Known for his shoot-from-the-hip style, JJ ranks the top five religions in a way only he can, sparking laughter and debate among the hosts. "Number one has to be the Catholics. Why? Because they wear cool robes." This quote from JJ encapsulates the offbeat and entertaining nature of the discussion.The episode also features a deep dive into the quirks of tax extensions, AI's role in tax preparation, and the surprising stats about millennials' approach to filing taxes. "17% of millennials said they might not file because they don't think they'll get caught." This statistic leads to a lively conversation about the risks and realities of skipping tax filings.

Skin.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
When Katy Perry returned from space, Wendy's sent out a
tweet said, can we send her back?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I understand why they're so against Katy Perry.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Man, I would think, you know, with them being like
a place that's got really good meat, they would support her.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Right, She's still out of public favor. Yes, so, man,
I guess.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
So this segment's brought to you by a place that
has lots of public favor, Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen and Plano,
Texas voters voted best Pizzeri and DFW by readers of
the Dallas Morning News Preston and Plano Parkway. In Plano,
there's only one location of Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen, but
think about that. It won best in Dallas in the
Dallas More News. Go check them out in Plano Andrew's
American Pizza Kitchen. But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's time to go into the bitting schedule. Worrybacks.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, we're there now. So today's tax day. Everyone gets
their taxes done.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yes, I'm a nerd. Yeah yeah, so many extensions yep. Really,
so you got to file for an extension.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
You got to get your extension filed by today and
sending the money you think you're gonna owe.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Google searches for how to file a tax extension or
way up in the past week.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Is it too late to do it this week? Or
how far ahead of it do you need to get
can a I just do your taxes? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I wouldn't trust them based on my experience of AI.
I tried to get AI to put in something for
a segment, and they combined the things from about four
segments we've done today already. But if you're liking our
new podcast descriptions, you can get our podcast anywhere as
you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
iHeartRadio app is free as well. That's great.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
The reason I wanted to go into the wayback machine
today though, is because it is tax Day and the
most famous CPA in Oklahoma is a guy named JJ.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
He goes by JJ the CPA, and.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
We had him on years ago for the fake show
I believe it was The Sports Inferno with Carl Spoon
and Rational.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Bill miss those guys, and.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
JJ the CPA was a you know what, I'll keep
the terminology going. He's a real wildcatter. This guy's shoot
from the hip type of guy. He actually sent us
some gifts afterwards.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That's what you want from a CPA, someone that shoots
from the hip. Here was the most polished guy. He
had his own merch. Yeah, it's hard picks too, right,
And I think we had him on.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I mean not to kind of prank him, to pull
his chain a little bit, but it was COVID and
dealing with taxes during COVID. Yeah, so this is a
fall of twenty twenty or spring of twenty twenty one. Uh,
here on the Eagle and uh, this is a Carl
Spoon and rational bill with JJ, the CPAT.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Ranked the top five religions started pulled up punches the five.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Best religions according to JJ the CPA.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Okay, on the Twitter, give it to us, baby.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
All right. Number five got to be Jehovah Witness. Number four,
we got the Mormons. Number three, we've got the Latter
day Saints, which may be the same as Mormons. Then
we got to go in with the Baptist. But number
one has to be the Catholics. Why they wear cool robes,
they've got cool stuff that's in in their churches, and
you know, they can kind of do whatever they want.
(03:20):
Because then they just go and do hail Mary's Hell.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yes, I'm Catholic. That's great, Number one, Bill, we did it.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I don't like to power rank their religions, as I
trust that everybody, whatever they believe, is okay.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Well, probably at the end of the day, there's only
one God anyways, and we're all gonna we're all gonna
be in heaven having a lot of fun. I guess
maybe you guys would be still in the inferno, but
he's still gonna be in heaven, not gonna.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Lie, rather be in hell with the centers. You know
what I'm saying. A lot more fun is being had
in hell.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Josha.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Okay, I forgot how fast he just ranked them.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's like he does it every night. You've ask that
million times before. He's a genius.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Usually you would just say, hey, man, don't touch any
religious topic.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
He's like, oh, hell no, I'm gonna power in him
so quickly. I've already got him in mind. How I
want him to go down.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Let's see, just pulled him up on Twitter at JJ
the CPA. Okay, you know, only seventeen hundred followers. Looks
like he went hit. He last tweet His last tweet
appears to be February seventeenth, and he's.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wearing a robe.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Oh no, no, no, he's wearing an American flag that
has him as Captain America over the American flag, like
over the stars and stripes as him. And he's now
walking out of his front yard. Very strange, strange guy.
But I thought it'd be fun to revisit that. I
did see a couple of things. This is not as
boring as it sounds. Tax stats okay, is that trus
(04:52):
It sounds.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Terrible, but just tax stat turner.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
According to this site, Google's actual got a lot of
this for me. But seventeen percent of millennials, so twenty
six or twenty eight to forty or whatever, okay, said
they might not file because they don't think they'll get caught.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So one and five millennials, that's bad. Like, I'm good,
you know what, how would that go? Well? How long
would it take to get caught? You think?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
And just a normal person doesn't have a lot of
irons in the fires.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I'd do one job.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I would say it's not worth risking. But the other
thing I would say is, at certain times, if I'm
going to risk something, like this, I'll go ahead and
risk it while so much of government operation is being
deregulated and defunded. If you're gonna risk it now is
probably the best time. I just wouldn't recommend it. I
(05:48):
think you would get You would get caught eventually. I
think it would be automatic.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
You would get caught, and I think you would be
such painful finds that you would never do it again
or jail time.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Twenty five percent, So they're less worried about errors on
their returns because they don't think the IRS has the
manpower to catch them.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I think, to your point.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
A lot of them were recently let go forty six percent.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Think fewer IRS agents means the ref the refund might
get delayed.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Oh, I don't think the refund gets delayed. I honestly
think a lot of the pre work is probably done
by AI now and it goes in there and flag stuff,
and then the staff goes in there and tries to
prioritize it.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Christina, did you do tax? Do you have a tax
person or do you just you get on quick?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
No, I do a turbo tax. I've been doing TurboTax
for like five six years now.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Could you buy the software. How does that work?
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Yeah, well, you don't buy the software, but you go
to the website and then you buy it at the
end and you can like upgrade it whatever if you
have more, like of your own business or whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I just have the bare minimum because I have nothing.
You know, you sell those guitar straps. Okay, well yes,
oh well we report it error reported. But yes you
do pay like thirty bucks for it.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You're just getting her audited. Dude, Well, I didn't listen
to us. Our show does really well with auditors. I
saw some recent data tax stat Turner.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Bring that up.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I would like to Cockley brag on the Eagles the
Home of Rock that my tax lady is the wife
of the guy.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
From the Toties. Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Which with my refund, I get a pair of free
tickets to Toty shows the lead singer.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Right, yeah, it's kind of cool. That's it. It's good
to know.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Did you notice that he shaved his mustache? Yeah? What
do you think? I like it?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I liked the mustache. He looks much younger. Now, yeah,
you like him younger. I know what I'm saying. He
looks great either way. But the mustache. He kind of
looked like a handyman. He kind of looked like one
of the guys from the village people. There he is,
there's the police officer. There's the naval officer. Oh, and
there's the handy man. I didn't see me ride to
work with my motorcycle.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The handsy man, all right. There you have it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There is the Way Back Machine JJ, the CPA all right,
coming up in just over three minutes. Can you get
a DWY for drinking too much coffee? The answer to
that question is coming up after this quick song.
