Are We Headed For a Recession? + How Tariffs Hurt Housing (Live at SXSW)

You know, she was just like a super cool person. Everybody loved her. You know, she was just nice to everybody, a kind soul, funny, charismatic. She was an angel.

What I would say to Matt is, you know, if you really didn't have anything to do with this... Why don't you give us a call? You know, why don't you help us solve this? If it really wasn't you, maybe we can sit down and talk about it and put our heads together and come up with something maybe we haven't thought about before. You know, other than that, I don't have anything to say.

I've often envisioned sitting in a courtroom watching a trial and seeing somebody pay for what they did would be fair. But at the end of the day, I just want to know what happened. I just want to know. Not knowing is, you know, it's tough.

I remember very clearly, like, right after they got married, it wasn't too much longer that she had found out that Matt was cheating on her. And I remember she called my mom, like, frantic. And I remember all this. And my mom flew down to Florida and, you know, was there to console my sister. And from there, they pretty much split. Not permanently. They were living separately, but...

trying to work things out. And I had a lot of conversations with my sister. She would, I was like, hey, when are you going to give this up? Like, you know, this isn't enough enough already. And, you know, I'm the little brother. Like, hindsight's 20-20, you know, I wish I would have pushed harder for that. But I was a 23-year-old kid.

Yeah, the first year was a little rough, just trying to make it. And then the second year was pretty decent. It was still, you know, still rough. I was basically using everything to just pay for my life, pay for my everything.

Hey, how's it going? Good, how are you? Thank you guys for letting me on the show. I'm in the construction industry. I started my business in 2017. Ran it until the end of 2019, then started working for somebody, and then picked up my business again in 2022, until today still. And I never paid taxes. And I've never filed business taxes, and I'm at a point now where I don't know what to do.
