This show turned my 30 min breaks at work into a relaxing experience I look back on like a childhood memory. Looking forward to watching the newest season

Stumped him on that one

[@valerioburli547]

That pause before his line is just perfect. Straight out from a Coen's bros movie.

[@austindyer2144]

Sure on the outside he’s saying “it’s a great deal” but you can tell internally he is shattered

This documentary video is a great deal

this write off idea came from that story nathan made up about going to a wedding on an oversized suit. Lols

*forces the irs to watch footage of dogs urinating and defecating* Holy shit I'm dying! 😂

[@aesopbricktop]

why is there shampoo and listerine in a drink cooler?

[@kristjanveski]

That's why it's cool

[@Gisiebob]

so it can be nice and cool if you want to use it immediately after buying it. I've never tried cold mouthwash, have you? maybe it's something the people who have tried it just don't tell the rest of us. this is probably because they are mean. I think I won't try it now. I don't want to be mean.

[@ktuluflux]

That's pretty cool

He's equally great behind the scenes. He chose to end the show so he can work on shows like this.

Did he get the Listerine from a fridge?

[@fyodorseriencha6538]

I'm flabbergasted by the bit with the watch guy 😄 I trained to be an accountant (because I wasn't outstanding enough for IT), and this stirs some deep emotions frankly. Personally the only thing I took from the accountancy training was the improvement to my organisation and also learning to be more formulaic (because it's easier/ quicker and more foolproof) but to be honest it's a pretty inefficient way to teach someone that because most of the years go to just memorizing fancy crap, same as with all other modern education probably. It gave me a thought just now, I like the movie title ''The making of a Shaolin master'' well, what if equally majestically you could have a story about '' The making of a road sweeper'' as I think that it's a good job for a ''man'' but climbing down the social ladder of your own free will is a difficult thing to do. And then what if by some wonderful fortune you then find a lean, sharp minded wife who would tolerate your measly salary - I think it would make for a good and intelligent story if it doesn't end up as a fail..

[@Jackspiring]

I like the sound of that wife, but yeah man you’d end up in a lower paying job, still depressed (if thats you idk im speaking for me) and without other ‘thinking’ people it could spiral quickly, but if thats what you wanted to be out of your current bubble though and if the people you are working with are thinking people and show to have more to themselves than you thought i could see it being the wiser option. “The lion who walked among the sheep”

[@hamishwhitehenderson5197]

if you go into a university education thinking it's supposed to teach you "organisation" or how to be "formulaic" and that the rest of it is just "memorising fancy crap" then that is what you will get. Modern Education isn't for "life lessons" -you can just get those by continuing to not die- it's for specific technical knowledge, and the fact that you think it's "just fancy crap" speaks volumes about why it didn't't "work" for you.

[@fyodorseriencha6538]

​@@hamishwhitehenderson5197 Well, all of us I'm sure have come across ridiculously long winded instruction manuals and of course they are nothing but ''specific technical knowledge'' as you had put it, but in reality the normal person just reads the main bits and just wings it.. it is the rest of it that I would categorize as ''fancy crap''. And your point about gaining knowledge and skills just by continuing not to die only applies unless you are not cooped up somewhere. I should've also made the point that I was merely advocating more job/ task specific training.

[@hamishwhitehenderson5197]

@@fyodorseriencha6538 University students are by definition not cooped up somewhere. Many of them go to other countries to study and mots campuses have a far more diverse range of people than the places that surrounds them, at least in Europe and the UK where university is state subsidised in on way or another. And I'm pretty sure their is a very large difference between a washing machine manual and the Law of a given country or medical degree. If you just wing being an accountant (the funny thing about this guy is that he's obviously out of his dept) then you either won't get very far or more likely get disbarred. I live in a pseudo-rural part of the UK that borders London. It was one of the strongest areas for support of Brexit- and one of it's main political touch stones is how terribly left out everyone there feels about "mainstream politics"- despite being the current governments main support demographic. This usually involves some form of shitting on the educated as being out of touch and pretentious and all toffs anyway. Out of politeness I keep my mouth shut (well aware Mr. Gammon would never do that for me) and don't talk about being the first in my family to go to university.

[@winzyl9546]

IT is not harder than accountancy. Its probably easier, you dont even need to memorize formulas as long as you know your references. I will probably die of boredom from memorizing formulas than building a website that can do those formulas.

I was an expense 🤣

Any watch with aftermarket diamonds on it is a really bad deal.

You Can Not write off a birthday dinner as an business expense? Just using a business debit doesn't make it a business expenses.

[@RoskinGreenrake]

I had to give a Like with my second account (I have two for receiving separate recommendations - I wish yt could just allow you to have additional accounts i.e. their ''brand accounts'' in the way that it would show who set them up and how many they had set up) _cause I just know...!_ that you deliberately limited the objects in frame in that rented office space scene just so that paper bin could be for his lame ass and the outsized laptop for his head i.e. clapped on it. And the paper on the desk to be eaten.

[@RoskinGreenrake]

..paper to be eaten

Expenses don't often "make money" for the person writing it off. It just might reduce the taxes they pay.

[@sandwitches227]

Okay? You can't spend the money you owe in taxes on anything else, so the less taxes you pay, the more purchase power you have. Weird response.

[@orhanelam6780]

In the case of the guy paying for everyone's meals, it likely would. He gets the full expense as a business write-off, and then he also gets his friends to pay their share of the meal. Say he spends 200$, his friends paid him 160$, and his tax rate is 50%. He'll get 100$ back as a write off, since money he was using for business won't be taxed. That means he made a 60$ total, having personally had a 40$ meal. If the IRS were hyper-intelligent, they'd catch that the friends he was having a business dinner with paid him their meals that night, so it wasn't an expense, but until they manage that you can truly profit from expensing things.

[@Jackspiring]

It goes back to our proto-human primate brains, even chimpanzees, capuccian monkeys, orangutans and other primates have the same concept of fairness, a monkey who sees another monkey given fruit, whilst they are given monkey chow, they throw it back at the zookeeper or scientist zoologist doing the study and hold their hand back out for fruit. Ours is pretty overly-complicated as per usual though.
