1:29:46 And they're deducting everything. They're not going with the standard deduction. That's not worth their time. They have an accountant who can just write off every little piece of anything, except certain things where there's the caps. The caps are on sales tax, income tax, and property tax. So that's kind of a jip, although you can at least have two pieces of property. That's racist, man. It's a jip. Racist. Racist jip. Racist against gypsies. So I agree with you and I think that when you listen to this report, they're all doing the same thing because they're all left-wingers. That this is all just anti-Trump propaganda. Your numbers are going down because of Trump. That's what they conclude. And the more I think about it, because you make a big statement like, you know, all the charities are going after the big boys. While yes, that is true, the majority of, certainly of that
1:30:41 particular organization who are all their own chapters. They don't get anything from the burger place. There's no money flowing except for if you drop some coin in their little box there next to the drive-thru window. I know where you're going with this, and if you're going to go in that direction, then I will say if people go to church And they pass the thing around and you put a fiver in there. Half the time, you don't even remember to deduct it from your taxes anyway. Exactly. But I was just going to say that a lot of charities work on a local level and it's the people who send 500 or even 50, but you know, a thousand. Or five. Or five. Those really do add up at the end of the year. And then there's a lot of targeting to get people to do that. And, you know, the discussion, I think, is, well, you know, should we remind people that it's
1:31:30 you know, it's their tax deductible donation. I personally, I don't think that that matters because as you say, the big boys, they deduct it anyway and the individuals, I don't, yeah, I'm not so sure that they're thinking about that. Well, now I'm gonna reveal a dirty little secret. It's about the show and our tax deductible, non-tax deductible status, we pay all of our tax that we take, the money comes in as a simple income. and not a gift or anything else. And it's not, and we don't get a 501c3 or any of these things. And let me just say when Jay, when Buzzkill Jr was researching, we did a lot of research on it, you know, solicit and we read all the classic books and it took and one, and he looked at all these crazy studies that these people did. And I kind of laughed to myself when I see one of the podcasts
1:32:29 I'll go on about, oh, we're tax-deductible 5013. Why would you want to do that? Why would you want the government to be able to restrict what you can do? That's part of the reason you don't want to do it because there's a lot of rules and you got to file more paperwork and we already filed too much. And it turns out that you get less money. if you're a charitable tax-deductible donation type of organization. If you take A and B and they're both pretty much the same operation, one is tax deductible and one's not, the one that's not collects more money. Really? This was researched. And I thought about this and I was saying, why would that be? Because it's kind of a lure. Look, look, you can write it off your taxes.
1:33:16 turns out that there's a psychological barrier and it turns out that people think that if you're a non-profit, you're gonna be a low end. I don't know if they think you're gonna be low end, but it's like, it's something that's psychological about it that prevents you from donating. We're talking about two podcasts that are in A, B, same situation. The one that is, no, no, no, we don't do that, gets more money. That is a very dirty secret, John. It is. And once I heard that, but we reveal most of our information to our producers. Including our income. We give you the numbers on the show. Yeah, you can look it up. On the show. Get a calculator, you can add them up. Anyway, so when I heard that, I said, well, there's, now I thought, there is zero reason to ever get one of these exemptions.
1:34:15 Because it's not only a pain in the butt, it's not only a lot of extra paperwork, it's not only letting the government in, it is counterproductive. I think it should. That's our promo. Donate now to the NOAA Gender Show. Not tax deductible! I think I should donate. That's what Dogbert of Anonymous was discussing. He mentions it because we've talked about it because people every once in a while write in, I get the kick out of it. The guy writes in, hey, can I deduct this off my taxes? I said no.
1:34:52 He said, why not? I said, because we're not a 501c3. And he said, why don't you become a 501c3 and I can deduct. I don't care what you, you know, you're going to give us some, you're going to give us some help or not. But very few people have. I've heard people way back in the beginning of our value for value system, people were saying, hey, you should make it tax deductible. But there you go. Those are the same people that said we should have advertisers. Yes. And more interviews. Guests, guests, guests. Donate to no agenda. It's not tax deductible. It's version two. That's even better. There may be another, that actually may be a, psychologically may be, oh, those poor guys aren't tax deductible. It works even better. I mean, you don't know what's causing this exactly. Maybe you have to do this. Donate to no agenda. We're not tax deductible.
1:35:50 One of those will work. We got to do some ABC testing. So yeah, well, we, but anyway, the research has been done and that's what the research has covered. So all you podcasters out there who are looking at this as a business model for, I don't know, I don't know why, but if you were, that's a little tidbit for you that no other show will reveal. Donate to No Agenda. We're only in it for the money. And by the way, the funny thing is about no other, no other podcasts will reveal this sort of information because no other podcast knows anything. None of them know nothing. I should have thrown a double negative in. That's even better.
1:36:35 Anyway, let's go to charitable giving too. Oh, I thought we didn't we just play charitable giving too? But then I lost track of the whole show. Well, okay, I'll play it again just to make sure. It's a concern shared by nonprofits across the country because the new tax law lowers incentives for people to donate before people could reduce their tax burden by writing off charitable donations and itemizing them on their tax returns. All right, so we played. The reason I wanted to play it because we're playing that second part or even have it was I am in total agreement with you. I do not think people are donating to anything, including this show, because they because they're incentivized by the government. Thank you. That's really in a nutshell. If I if there's some cause around here that I feel like what's like you and the five bucks to every bum who says hello. Yeah. You're not writing that off. I should. Well, maybe you are.
1:37:30 Believe me. But you can't, it's actually not a write-off. No, it's not. They're not a charitable organization. They're not a 501c3. Although, there's another hook for you guys out there without homes. Yeah, make yourself a 501c3. See if it works. Can you imagine the overhead? Oh my god. But it's true. I mean, I happen to know Ronald McDonald House. People donate, it's always the same. They had an experience. They had an experience, someone they know had an experience. That's why they do it. I've never ever heard someone say, oh, I'm so happy I can give to them, I can deduct it. No.
