What's going on everybody this episode the Dear America podcast is brought to you by our good friends at black rifle coffee.

I love Evan Matt Jared all those guys I've known them for over six years now and they just went public there that they're doing amazing things and every single day they're giving hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars a year to veterans.

They also just double down on Joe Rogan's budget really supporting the first amendment and free speech and I appreciate that some people got some beef of black rifle.

I don't care. They're good friends to me and this entire country is based around not everybody thinking the same way that you do and here's what I know they've been loyal to me.

I'm going to be loyal to them. They're a great group of guys they're doing stuff for the military community and their coffee is amazing. It really is it actually really is good.

They're ready to drink coffee is what gets me through the day every single day and that is the truth.

So support a military owned coffee company that has actually made it and everybody is a hater because they're not them but we love those guys and we're thankful for them their friendship and now their sponsorship on the podcast go to blackriplecoffee.com today.

All right what's going on America and you made it man it's Friday Friday yeah yeah yeah I've had a terrible day to start I have been in the pits of purgatory at the night circle of H.E. double hockey sticks itself.

I had to I had to go and pay the taxes on our company truck today and because you know the the the tag expired I'm trying to go do the right thing etc so every year we switch out company trucks and we get new company trucks every year so me thinking.

Because we had to get a truck out of town or out of state. They're like you want us to apply for new tag through your sales like no no no we'll just keep the old tag and just transfer it to the truck right and I was like that'll be simpler to do it that way so.

We bought the truck back in January okay they've got 45 days to do it but because we transferred the thing they didn't get it transferred I got I got the transfer paperwork.

Last month okay well the tag expired last month so you have a 30 day window.

You know most cops will tell you that you know yeah you got 30 day window from when your tag expires get a new tag so if you tag expires at March you got all April to get it and by God if you don't have it by May you know that's when you get it so I go up there today.

We trying to be honest we do not park our company vehicles where our actual headquarters is because it's downtown you can't just leave vehicles here downtown but we used.

The address of where we actually are the company is located so I got double hit on taxes for the vehicle I had to pay county and city taxes on the tax so I go I go to the treasure office this morning those of you who hate all this stuff you you are you are forced to fill my pain today I go to the treasure is office because that's in South Carolina that's where we go go to the treasure office I go to the when you walk into our treasure is office you got the asset.

The assessor you got the treasurer and all these other departments my thing says Anderson County Treasury office so I go to the treasurer waiting the line.

Hey I'm here to pay my tax bill to get a new thing they go oh you switched vehicles you got to go to the assessors line first.

So I go to the assessor's line stand in the line I'm like I'm here to pay my taxes for the bill they're like okay cool that a lot they do this this that they print out a piece of paper and like now go back to the treasurer's line.

So I go back into the treasurer's line and that's when I see they hit me with the city tax to and I was like that hurt.

So I pay the the the the thing I pay the thing and the way it normally works is you pay the tax they hand you the new little sticker to put on your license plate.
