Do you think you'd be famous if you didn't have somebody paid to beat up?
You got arrested for threatening to kill the governor of Texas.
That is not what I said.
Wait, what? Okay, say it.
Don't act stupid.
I said I would eat his heart.
Again, the way you approach everything is so disingenuous.
You are a little pussy.
You are such a pussy.
Jerking yourself constantly off about everything you've done even though you have nothing to show.
I want you to take accountability.
Here we go again.
You're actually libeling.
me again. You have trouble with reality.
Sue me. I might. Do it.

How are you, Caleb?
Hello, sir.
You doing good?
Good.
How are you?
You look at you.
Thank you, man.
Thank you.
What a handsome guy.
Oh, I appreciate it.
I really appreciate it.
This is so interesting because you, wow.
Like you looked just like, first episode was just dude.
Oh, yeah.
That was like Brent the dude.
Yeah.
And then came Brent the cancer patient.
Oh, yeah.
And then now we have Brent the politician.
Oh, yes.
I'm running for president of myself.
Okay.
And I'm going to win.
I just, I have a feeling.
Well, he just got to convince one person.
Exactly.
Exactly.
A lot has changed.
A lot has changed.
Totally.
Unprecedented things.
Like, you going on a plane.
Oh, about me?
Yes.
Okay, things have changed about me.
And we have an entirely new president since the last time I saw you.
That's true.
Did you get arrested for threatening to kill that one?
No.
But it is pretty interesting.
He's the first, he's brave.
He's very brave.
He's the first.
politician, the first president to get his ear pierced on the campaign show.
His right ear.
Uh-huh.
I don't know what that means.
What, the ear pierce?
Yeah, I don't remember which right or left.
Oh, if he's gay.
Yes.
You're questioning this.
Oh, my God.
Okay, that one bombed.
If Donald is gay.
Okay, he might be.
I don't know.
Maybe he's a by king.
I don't really know.
Okay, well, I wanted to celebrate.
Because this is pretty exciting.
We traditionally don't really get many people to do a third video on the main channel.
And historically, usually at least the last guy I did a third video with on the main channel,
crash the fuck out afterwards.
Let's see if you do.
Usually you crash out in the episode, not outside of the episode.
I'm hoping we keep it internal.
Well, I can cry if you need me to.
I don't need you to do anything.
I do want to talk to you.
I want to see what you do it,
but I would like to share a slice of cake with you
just as a celebration.
Are you down to share a slice of cake with me?
Totally, man.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And I know this is specifically what you like to eat
and wanted to eat the heart of Greg Abbott.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
And you won't go to jail for this one.
I can do this when this is a safe space.
This one's a safe space to a service.
points. Thank you. That's beautiful. Absolutely. So I do not have utensils, but if you ever desire
to have a bite, you can just grab in and take it from yourself. Right on, just like, yeah,
face dive even. Well, I mean, usually this is like the, you know, we're not, I'm not doing my usual
onboarding with you. Lindsay took care of all that and all this stuff. And this is usually the part
where I say, okay, you know, here's your fake name, but I don't think we use your fake name.
I am confused.
We get confusions between Brent and Brent, but how old are these days?
Oh, well, should I do the intro?
The, uh, yes.
I love the intro segment, man.
You too, hit it.
I love it.
Okay.
I'm Brent Davy.
I'm 43.
I live in Austin.
And this is finance a lot of it.
Almost.
Yeah, almost hit it.
I'm, I'm going to take it.
I'm going to take it.
I'm going to take it as we got it.
Um, finance a lotte.
Finassolodit.
Financial.
What?
You look like you're from the bank.
Fine assal audit.
Yeah.
You're so chipper today.
Okay.
So, no, that's good.
That's good.
Like, why is everything so good?
Oh, well, I mean, I'm on this finance al audit show, and I like, I get you to dive into my shit and clean it all out.
Oh, you weren't happy about it the second time.
It's the most fun in the world, man.
Okay.
It's so good.
Why is this so different than the second time?
Because the second time you were really, even though.
You chose to come not very happy about being there.
You have like a know-it-all, and this is the whole gambit of your show.
Okay.
You don't even have a business degree.
Oh, okay.
You're just chewing people out for buying tequitos.
Are we talking about business on this show?
Yeah, pretty much.
Oh, okay.
Everything that I've ever done is business.
So, okay, business degree to learn how to not spend money you don't have.
Oh, okay.
Uh-huh, interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we were...
Oh, I was in bad mood.
I mean...
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
But you're in a good mood.
I'm in a good mood.
So what's different?
What's different?
Well, I'm in a, I don't know.
I'm just in a good mood.
Well, what makes you so happy versus last time being so unhappy?
Because last time, you know, a big part of the talk of the show and whatnot was how evil the show was that you chose to be on the first and the second time.
I mean, yeah.
That's a very big community.
It's a big community.
I know they're not all like that.
But, I mean, a few days before, shortly before we filmed, my car got attacked in a hit and run.
And they just drove off.
And I was in Dallas.
It was in Cedar Springs.
And they kind of know me a little bit.
And so they were coming out of Hamburger Mary's walking to my car.
And I see the aftermath and the Jeep driving away.
and these guys with their cell phones out,
recording the Jeep as it goes away.
What the fuck who's that about, huh?
What's up?
You fat pig?
Why didn't I get picked?
And it was a Jeep with a brush guard
that intentionally rear-ended my beautiful convertible,
the gayest car I could find.
Well, and speaking of that,
Lindsay's telling me you told her
that you think it was targeted.
Oh, yeah, they were laughing.
They were laughing as they drove away.
And so we called DPD and on scene, and DPD no longer responds to property crime.
No, neither does Austin really?
Yeah.
No, it's...
But it's a policy in DPD now.
So we had to...
At first, my insurance was saying that I should just file an insured motorist, but it was like...
Fibing damages.
And I was like, well, you don't have to pay that.
We have witnesses.
We have the case here.
We just need to find out who it is, and they hired a price.
private investigator, and we got it sued and won in court.
You won. How much did you get?
Yes, we got 10,000.
Yeah.
How much did you pocket at the end?
I pocketed 3,000 extra, but I mean, the damages in the car were seven.
And car repairs are like...
That's good.
I'm glad you won that because that's obviously...
But again, I think as we dive into these finances, it's just important to kind of know
where you are and the mentality of all this because last time again, you were...
You said the show was evil.
You said the show was evil.
We're here to make you look bad,
even though you can say whatever you want to say.
And you said whatever you wanted to say,
you get to do that today again.
Is the show still evil?
I think your persona that you portray is maybe a little bit unlikable.
Oh, unlikable is up to the individual.
I know.
It's totally subjective.
I'm just me.
That's the fun part of being on the show.
I talk to some other media people that are like,
oh, he's really unlikable.
And I was like, oh, I don't think that's all him.
You know, I think he's putting it on a little bit.
Well, I guess in what way?
I mean, who said I was unlikable?
Oh, city council people, congresspeople, media people.
Oh, well, the governor of Michigan's coming on my show.
So I think they do.
I think they like it.
Nice.
Who is the governor right now?
Huh?
Michigan.
Whitmer.
I think once the politicians saw, once we added it to it being a technical podcast,
they saw it being the top 10 on the internet.
That's awesome.
So they're like, okay, let's do.
Well, thank you.
Last time you hated that fact.
But it's different this time, which I can appreciate.
So some city council from what city?
Oh, Austin.
Oh, really?
Because I got DMs from something.
They love the show.
Yeah, and I got DMs from others.
Maybe they're just telling us what we want to hear.
Or maybe they just wanted to get out of that conversation.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
After they got a lot of emails from you.
Uh-huh, okay.
Maybe, maybe.
Maybe, right?
Who knows?
I mean, I have.
struggled with OCD in my entire life.
Yeah, we've still received some emails
from me, which is concerning.
Because in this world, we're in
a different period of time right now.
Wait, what emails are you talking about? I've been
communicating with Lindsay for...
Well, yeah, that's us. That's we.
It's us.
Yeah, what are you talking about?
The company. Our emails.
Okay. So we still have
received your emails. And what are you concerned
about? Well, I said, like I said,
we're in a different day where you got
arrested for threatening to kill the governor of
Texas.
That is not what I did.
Don't do that again because it's dumb.
That is not what I said.
What did you say?
You can clarify it.
You already know.
Don't act stupid.
Wait, what?
Okay.
Don't act stupid.
I said I would eat his heart.
Okay.
You know that's threatening to kill.
Caleb, there were two, there were two angles on that treat screen.
And yes, it was sloppy.
And no, I'm not proud of it.
And yes, I was absolutely in a bad mental state.
Okay.
Here's why they dropped the case against me days before trial.
One, it was a metaphor, clearly.
I said, I hate you.
I will eat your heart.
And then I said, and then I said, I just checked and I still hate you.
Winkies.
It is a little bit winky.
Well, but do you understand?
The Texas GOP was threatening to secede at the time.
Okay, that wasn't real.
It was real.
It got, pulling support of like less than a half.
Can we get some backchekers on this?
Yeah, it got like, really journalists.
Why are you getting competitive?
It was like one person.
You want to debate.
You want me to debate you.
I will.
No, I don't want to do anything.
I'm just talking.
Okay.
Okay.
Are you just talking?
Are you fucking on me?
I'm not sh-h-on-you, Brent.
I'm talking about how this is a different age in time.
We just had someone who is speaking words get shot and killed.
So I'm not.
So I'm not.
So we take your email seriously.
What have I said to you?
Okay.
Emails within the last year.
Here we go.
Are you afraid?
Without your format, you have nothing.
Come over to where I.
I live, how I live, and let me greet you like a guest.
Are you scared?
So if you threaten the...
How scared are you of that?
Buddy, I'm just being real.
I'm talking about the time we live in.
You are a little pussy.
You are such a pussy, but I...
Are you doing this again?
You brought me something beautiful, by the way.
Actually, this is a real gift, okay?
This?
Like, no, I brought you something.
I brought you something.
Did Matt check this?
Okay.
And Matt checked it.
You're all right.
You're safe.
dude.
Well, yes, it's concerning.
We live in a bad time.
It's safe space.
I literally have security now.
This is a safe space.
Because of people like you who send these emails.
You're safe with me, bud.
Okay.
Don't freak out.
I know the planes.
I know the fear.
I know.
Well, it's agoraphobia.
Yeah, I get it too.
I have it.
Okay.
All right.
This is actually a real...
This is meaningful.
Okay?
It's coming from the bottom of my heart.
And I spent way too much money on it.
And you're gonna...
And I will not eat that heart.
We'll not eat it.
That's hot.
You want to see me in it?
Yeah, I totally do.
Okay.
To confirm, this has been checked.
I want to ask one more time.
Okay.
Good.
Because, again, I'm trying to...
What's handsome?
Thank you.
It's my...
I mean, you didn't spend that much money on it.
Also, why is there a brown spot?
Did we confirm what the brown spot is?
It's, uh, my...
Does anyone want to do a stiff test?
It's my pussy hat from the 2017 women's marches.
I made it myself, and I had to buy something to get the bag.
So I bought lip gloss instead of anything risque.
Oh, pussy hat because I'm a pussy.
Right.
I mean, if you want to try it on, I'll try it on with you.
Because of the brown spot, I don't want to.
I don't want to.
Because the brown spot.
I just, I don't want like an accident.
It's seen better days.
It's been grabbed too many times.
But the brown spot.
I don't want a doo-do head on an accident.
It's not doo-d-d-do.
I just hope not.
I wouldn't bring you do-do heads.
Okay.
So, Brent, again, the reason I brought it up, big guy is...
You don't want to put it on?
Specifically, no.
You can if you'd like.
I want you to do whatever you want to do.
This is, as you said, a safe place up to a certain point.
My concern, big guy, is when we receive these emails
and the security that we're doing and checking the bag,
it's because we...
I invited you to my house and I said I'd treat you like a guest.
Are you scared?
Yeah.
Apparently he is.
I actually invited him over and said I'd treat him like a guest.
I'd get him water.
He didn't do that to me in the first episode that we filmed.
What? Get you water?
Yeah.
He posted me in my condo.
You didn't do anything.
It was very...
This is actually a rude person.
It was a very,
wait.
You're a natural,
I want you to take accountability.
You're a rude,
you're a rude host.
Here we go again.
Okay.
Yes.
Yes.
Have we treated you poorly today?
No,
because you have teams.
Exactly.
It was me in my apartment running.
Thank goodness you have nice people that work for you.
Because,
almost like they reflect the values that I.
You're not.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Brent.
I'm just trying to...
At least take accountability, man.
Just...
But you won't take accountability
for why you were arrested
in today's environment.
Except it.
I already have.
I explained it.
I don't think it's an excuse,
but it's an explanation.
You're saying you didn't threaten
to kill him even though you're trying
to kill him.
I did not.
I did not.
We live in today's environment
where you...
I did not.
I did not threaten to kill the governor
and I want to make that clear.
I did not.
I did not.
Well, you're swaying the one-swing voter.
I did not.
In the Brent election.
I did not.
I did not.
I did not.
Caleb.
Okay.
And then we get the,
we get the threatening emails.
That was,
I invited you over.
Okay.
I'm just saying we live in a different environment.
I invited you over.
To where I was living,
which you would actually be proud
because I was living with a good friend
for $600 a month while I'm working on the Airbnb.
Good.
We're raising chickens.
And eggs, we had eggs, dude.
We had a gold mine.
It was beautiful.
Okay.
I was spending $1,700 a month and, yeah, I was like hitting it, man.
Like, the show really does activate, like, some thriftiness in you, you know?
Yeah.
Even being on it.
We get a lot of positive results from the show.
I mean, I like that.
You're taking it very personally, even though I'm just trying to talk about how I'm...
Well, you're libeling me, saying that I threatened to kill the governor, which I...
They did not do they dropped without conviction.
I spent more time in jail.
This is interesting.
I spent more time in jail for saying that I would eat the governor's heart,
which is an obvious metaphor because I'm not a cannibal.
Does that confirm?
Well, we don't know.
Then actual January 6th rioters.
Who ran back to the Capitol building?
I don't know.
I spent more time without a conviction than these,
than people who actually ransacked the Capitol building.
Are you doing the next one?
Doing the next one.
Jan 6.
No, I oppose Jan 6.
It broke my heart, man.
And Congress reconvened, do you remember?
Congress reconvened.
They got it together.
I'm sorry, financial audit's about you, not about Jan 6.
I'm just going to let you know.
So I'll move on from that.
It's all related.
Congress reconvened anyways, if you don't remember.
I don't know if you pay attention to what's going on in the world.
This was quite a few years ago at this point, but
Five years ago
Yeah, I don't know. What's your point?
Well, I just don't remember every little detail of every single day.
But also this is about your reminder.
I was just trying to see.
Oh, you don't remember things.
Okay, got you.
Well, I remember the event.
I don't remember the exact date in time Congress reconvened.
Oh, buddy.
I'm just, I'm trying to stay on topic.
I just wanted to bring that up.
Because that's what we talked.
about the first time and you weren't willing to acknowledge the fear that we face.
And this is the only other time we had to get an off-site.
I'm really sorry if you felt fear.
People are dying.
I'm sorry if you felt fear.
People are getting killed because of people like you.
I invited you over.
But it is people with the rhetoric like you.
What is my rhetoric again?
Your rhetoric of vague threats,
threatful emails.
It was a pun.
It's a play on words, Caleb.
To me, to you, and then other people have gotten shot.
You know about Kathy Griffin and that.
Donald Trump had this bloody.
Yeah, she was canceled for it.
Yeah, I disagreed with that.
I thought that was too far.
But in reality, I don't like cancel culture either.
In reality, I care about people not dying.
Yeah, I did too.
I mean, that Charlie Kirk situation was, I mean, that's bad.
My editors know them.
I never met him.
People use your episodes, and they call me fascists.
They call me evil fascists.
I get both Lib Tard and MAGA, so I don't know what's going on.
Oh, me too, but they use your episode.
is me, you know.
If people are, if people are using my episode as some kind of justification to, like, commit violence.
But then we get your emails of violence.
I completely, I invited you over and I asked if you're scared.
I was an olive branch, man.
Take an olive branch.
Good God.
If you want to meet me, I guess you can.
I'm one of the most powerful people in the entire world.
I've done what Donald Trump wouldn't.
Let someone go through his bank account with scrutiny.
What's this? What's that?
Caleb is an actual idiot.
You'll be boxing a 43 old man who has a heat stroke last year.
And who can still hit and dodge faster than a YouTuber.
And now I'm in better shape.
If you want to do it, you want to do it?
No.
You don't want to box?
I'm fat.
Maybe I'm a threat to you in some way.
In some way you'll think, oh my, have I lost authority?
Well, my man, you never had much.
but these are just multiple in the night
how threatening is that
are you scared
if you're scared I'm sorry
I don't mean to scare
well that's why we have security
and you don't get to know our office location
you're not scared
you're not scared
because you have security
the security makes you
well okay yeah
in and off
well I just know since we're not at our studio
you're not coming back the next day
oh yeah I've never done that
why would you think that I've done that
yes why would I think that
I'm talking to you.
Uh-huh.
An email about the show.
We received many emails from you, yes.
It's a show that I worked for in Iran.
I will tell you one more thing that's happened since last year before we get into the documents.
What's up?
Through inside sources of you're an addict?
Correct.
That's not good.
Nope.
Don't do that.
I mean...
It smells fruity.
I love when I get to non-consensually breathe in other people's addictions.
Thank you.
That's not a product.
placement, but I mean, I might as well relax.
It certainly is to my nose right now.
Oh, is it offensive?
It's a little annoying. I like to
decide what I'm breathing in.
Okay. All right. Well, I'll
curtail that for you, bud.
Please do. You're welcome.
It would be more nice to ask for permission,
if I'm being honest.
Did you ask for permission before you
libeled me and said that I am
unwilling to work?
You didn't? I don't think so.
Yes. You didn't ask.
We didn't ask for permission to
libel me. This was early days.
I don't think you asked permission to libel me.
Well, I guess you just disagree.
But maybe Governor Whitmer should re-decide.
Did she just sign the same agreement I did?
Because that agreement, I said before I come on today,
says that you can defame me, and I can't defame you.
I don't know where you think that agreement is binding,
but in the court of the free press, it's not going to work.
No free press.
I don't have any intent to sue you or anything.
Oh, that's what I wanted to talk about, actually.
I don't have any.
I don't have any of all.
That's what I wanted to talk about.
That's happened over this last year.
One, is this a standard legal document that...
It's crazy.
That most...
You'd have to be crazy.
The only reason that I signed it is because...
Film studios used.
...is because you're paying me.
It's a very general contract.
I would not sign that going on any other show.
Well, you wouldn't be invited.
And those are the contracts that would be there.
It allows you to actually libel and defame me.
And technically speaking...
Well, I'm not going to get to my point.
legal action against me
if I do anything adverse to
the show. Yes, and I would. Is this
going, is this what's adverse to the show right now?
No. No? Okay.
So where's the standard in your mind on that?
Look, private student loans can
make you feel like you're one miss payment away
from selling your grandma's hairlums.
We miss your grandma. Why Rify
says, chill out. No more sacrificing
the family jewels. They don't reduce you
to a credit number. They actually want
to see if you actually plan on paying
them. And by the way, they're provided
interest rates under 6%, which is practically a unicorn in this student loan jungle.
I mean, some lenders want to charge so much that you'd swear they're putting your first
born on layaway.
Tired a monthly payment so high you can't afford a single sweet treat, WRIFI has got you.
They'll rearrange your payment plan, ease the monthly hit, and even let your poor co-signer
off the hook.
Mom or dad can finally breathe.
Oh, and if you think you'll just get stuck in a call center, guess what?
4.6 stars in Google says YRIFI actually picks up and treats you like a real human.
or right? In finance, that's about as rare as me not slamming the desk every single episode.
So, if you're done fantasizing about robbing a bank, don't do that, by the way, check out Y-ReFi.
They're here to help you actually crush these loans without selling your kidneys on the black market.
Head to Y-R-E-F-Y.com slash hammer. That is Y-Refi.com slash hammer.
Or call AAA 973-978, that is AAA-9-7-3-9-78, and see how a real personal approach can help you escape the private loan nightmare.
Because, let's be honest, living with crippling debt until your 90 is not the retirement,
plan you dreamed of.
Wanna know a dirty little secret?
And no, I'm not starting an only .
You're not broke because you suck with money.

Whether I decide to sue you or not.
The thing is, it's a very...
How good do you think that'll be in court?
Good?
Yeah.
According to my legal team who I've paid about a half a million dollars.
Okay.
Quite good.
Good.
Maybe we should do that.
No, you're...
No, because I wouldn't get anything from you.
No, but I would.
Other than a court censure.
Either way, it's just his general filming.
I mean, it's just a general filming contract.
Our lawyers in Hollywood.
I thought you enjoyed the First Amendment.
Do you?
Yes.
Okay.
So you would use...
You know that's from the government, right?
Right, exactly.
No, I went to law school.
Did you?
You did not go to law school?
I did.
I went to loyal law.
When did you do this?
Because this was never brought up
in any of the other episodes
to Green Information Systems.
I went to a loyal law school in 2015 while I was...
This is a new piece of lore.
A new piece of lore?
Yes, it is.
To me, it's just me.
But cool.
It's interesting that I'm learning at the third time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I went to Loyal Law School in Chicago.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Where?
I assume you did not pass the bar.
No, I shattered my ankle.
You're always doing something with your body.
Your body always, like, breaks in the moment you need to do something conveniently.
Strawberry?
Not half bad, huh?
That's pretty good.
dude. That's pretty good.
I'm a fan. Who did this?
H.E.B. probably.
Nice.
We love H.E. Buddy.
But again, just because I feel like you're saying things out there that like snarkers or any hit
piece type of people would love to repeat, I have to, I have to say it.
It's just a general contract out of L.A. that pretty much most any and every type of show uses.
I'm just reading it on like, wow.
I didn't...
Wow, a legal contract to come on a show
that every other show uses.
Okay, yeah, that is very surprising.
I mean, I usually try to review documents I signed,
but before the last episode,
you all were filming me while I was going over it.
You sprung it on me.
We did.
And that's actually a little bit of duress right there,
which can, you know, weaken the validity of the agreement.
And then in the middle of it.
Well, good news, we got you now.
Ah, you got.
Yeah. It's better this time. I had time to review it.
But then in the middle of the episode, we're like an hour and a half in, and you're like, oh, I'm like, can we wrap it up?
And then you're like, well, you're not going to get your money.
Noah Chrysler was there.
Uh-huh.
He was there. And he agreed that that was wrong.
Is he here now?
It's good that you have a better production team now because he was objectively fired for being a nuisance in the office and yelling at it.
people constantly that we have on security camera.
I don't know.
I wasn't there.
Of course not.
You're just trying to use that to try to get a leg up by trying to have some online drama.
I'm not trying to get a leg up.
Listen to the words you're saying.
I'm not trying.
I'm actually defending myself and criticizing your show.
But you're unable to in a factual way.
No, it is factual.
It is factual.
You threatened to not pay me.
So do I get the answer right now?
On that episode, after we already filmed an hour and a half.
I'll answer it in 30 seconds.
And I said, and you threatened it.
And I said, well, we have an agreement.
And you said it's not contractual.
You don't even know what a contract is.
It's a meeting of the minds.
That's the proof in business law.
He's still getting through it.
Let him get them.
This is business law 101.
Yes.
It's business law 101.
Have you concluded?
Yes, go ahead.
We agreed to film a full episode in order to get the compensation.
He was not doing it.
He was shutting down and not talking.
So, of course, he wouldn't get paid for filling out his contractual agreement.
Thank you.
That's the literal reality.
That is not what happened.
That is not what.
happened at all.
You threatens to withhold it all.
I just, I took a break, a little bit of a break, dude.
Man, this is so adversarial it sucks.
It just blows, dude.
This is why I don't like the show.
You put laxative in that?
I just don't.
You need to go to the bathroom a quick?
Yeah.
Are you farting right now?
Yeah, I got, I got it.
Go, go, go, Matthew, help him.
I'll be back.
feel better.
First of all, that was the quickest poop I've ever seen.
I just had to pass a little gas.
Better out there than in here, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, we know how sensitive you know is this.
I am actually very sensitive to the smells.
It is very true.
So, yes, to clarify,
just like any agreement for anyone would get paid to do something,
usually we do flat reimbursements for guests just to help them from travel.
They don't have to complete set of fart?
I might have more.
No, I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm sorry.
This is fucking stressful, dude.
Okay, okay.
We can tell you a second.
It's fucking stressful.
Okay.
We don't have to do anything stressful.
Do you know?
You can tell me.
I'm willing to hear your story, as always.
I'm freaking out.
Okay, step outside for five.
Please?
It's a part machine.
Okay, so
You're trying to get false sense.
Trying to get...
Leslie Nelson used to take one of these
every late night show he went on.
It was his bit, and he actually kept it with him everywhere.
So you're trying to get false sympathy.
By pretending to have a panic attack.
Whenever...
Very good.
Whenever somebody was being a little too pompous,
you just go...
It's a great comedy school.
So yes.
Again, everyone gets a flat reimbursement.
You, we had to, because we know you're a struggle to film with,
we had to tie your payment, which was larger because you're a big guest and you provide big numbers.
You're loved in the community to a certain point.
So we had to, yeah, tie the number to it, of course.
And just like we are now, of course.
You're kidding me?
Absolutely.
willing to fully admit anything
and then you bring up that Noah was upset with the episode.
Of course.
Dude, he got fired because that guy right there had a financial audit.
He blew up on him and it was on camera.
He was endlessly yelling at people in the office.
He was a bad producer.
He didn't create a backlog.
Lindsay, who replaced him now has the largest backlog in financial audit history.
He is someone who's gotten multiple episodes in the pipeline
that have already been filmed.
It's a full month.
He was fired from the job before.
formed mine.
He was fired from this job.
He's a bad employee.
He is just like any other bad employee that gets fired.
They get upset.
I'm just saying he witnessed our dispute last time where you threatened to say you're not
getting get paid.
For not completing the job, yes.
I wasn't even threatening to walk out.
No, you're just shutting down not talking.
That's not a podcast.
No, because it was it was not like actually rolling.
I don't know.
It was.
It was.
It was.
It was.
Dude, you were just mythicizing this.
I don't know.
I was also, I just, like, stepped out of my car and then immediately, like, pad down and then sign this, sign this, and then cameras all rolling.
I didn't have, like, I don't know, it was rough.
I mean, it was hard.
Well, I would accept any valid criticism, and that's actually valid criticism.
Yeah.
That is pretty tough.
That is fair.
That is fair.
And I'm glad that as we continue to grow, we always become more and more professional.
You know, we're up to like 40 employees now.
So everyone brings levels of expertise and stuff.
Right on.
Obviously, from not getting you water in my condo by myself
to having a producer who couldn't do his job last time
to now, you know, a better and better team, yes.
Yeah.
So I apologize if you felt on the spot.
I really do.
Thanks, man.
Yeah.
Look out.
Well, yes, because if you provide valid criticism based in reality,
I will accept it and acknowledge it.
The other bullshit was.
bullshit.
So, your life, financially, how's it been?
Because this is financial audit after all.
Yeah, I mean...
Your favorite show.
It's my...
Top ten on the Internet, am I all right?
Boy.
And you love that.
I really don't understand it.
But I don't understand a lot about...
Honestly, half the time I don't either.
Yeah, I know. It's wild.
I'm not doing great.
I mean, I had...
You came into such positive energy.
I thought you said everything was going well.
Oh, everything's going well in my life because I got sober.
Oh!
Yeah.
First of all, what was your addiction?
Oh, alcohol.
Was that last time, too?
Yeah, I was binge drinking like every weekend.
Oh, weekend.
So we didn't film on the weekend.
So you were not drunk during ours.
No.
Okay, I was going to say, I didn't even know this.
No, it wasn't that kind of a day, drink everyday kind of thing.
It was like, always in my mind, I'm going to, I'm just working towards the next time I'm going to have a bender.
Right?
completely consumed
my thought processes
to the point where
I just felt like I wasn't being myself
like I'd lost a point of myself
so in July I checked myself
into rehab and a mental
stay. Good!
July! Yeah.
Very good rehab and it's gone well so far.
It's gone great. Dude, well done, seriously.
Man, thank you. It was overdue.
Like, I really relapsed
during the pandemic isolation
and that was five years ago.
So it was overdue.
Wow, five years of going pretty hard, huh?
Yeah.
I feel really good.
Good.
But that's just the sobriety talking, you know?
Well, isn't that good?
Is that good?
That's the joke.
Oh, I don't know.
I've never had to do it.
It's a play on the, that's just the alcohol talking.
It's just the sobriety talking.
You're ready for the late night show tour.
Well, thank you, man.
It works with the sobriety crowd.
Yeah.
I identify as an addict.
I identify as an addict.
Well, sure.
as like a recovering alcoholic, experiencing recovery while I'm in recovery.
Absolutely.
I just want to clarify that for the identity politics.
You know, we have to be really specific these days.
Okay, yeah.
I mean, no, I'm actually really proud of you for getting, I didn't know that was an issue you were dealing with.
So, well done, because that's really hard.
Alcohol is one of the harder ones for sure.
It's a beast.
Yeah, that's for sure.
So how many have you been sober?
July 28th is my sober day.
Okay. So that brings us just over two months, right?
Yep. I just got my two months ship.
Well done. Take another bite of cake. You deserve it.
Thank you, dude. Absolutely.
Yes, sir. So, I mean, that's something that, you know, I always got to take very seriously.
What I try to tell people when we do financial audit or financial audit follow-ups, whatever it is, is, yes, personal finance is very important.
But mental and predictions, anything like that, that comes number one.
It can hamstring you.
Yeah, that comes number one.
Because if you don't address that,
then there is no financial conversation to be had.
And if you're not going to be here in 20 years,
there's no financial sacrifices.
Right. There's nothing to look forward to.
Yeah, what's the point?
There's nothing to build for.
Yeah, absolutely.
I feel like my earning potential is going to be,
it's relatively unknown because I was been drinking so over the last five years,
so I don't really know what I'm capable of.
So what is going on now?
Let's see.
I am,
working on a concept for an improv show, a game.
Damn it.
Damn it.
What's up?
I mean, it's fun.
Yeah.
I just really wish it was like...
Because last time you had a big thing, you were 100,000 percent convinced you were going to win this, like, song grant.
I've gotten grants for music before.
Did you win the grant?
I didn't get that one.
So that's the thing is like...
You don't win all...
You don't.
We're very confident.
I know, but you've been in entertainment a long time.
You know that everything does it.
I've gotten music grants from them before.
They recommended a smaller-sized one.
And that one's kind of on the back burner right now because...
Well, that's my concern, because you bring this up, this game show idea.
I'm like, can we just do a job?
Yeah.
What do you think I've been doing?
Okay, well, that's what I'm asking.
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
What have you been doing?
I've been doing Uber Eats, which just sucks.
Okay, why are you still doing that?
Because last time we established that wasn't going very well for you.
to like Walmart and Chick-fil-A and-
But are you still doing the thing
where you kind of go in there and be like,
let's rework how Chick-fil-A works?
That's not really the approach that I give,
but I do wonder if I got an interview with Chick-fil-A,
they won't actually, like, respond.
But if I did, should I tell them?
Wait, what do you mean you got an interview,
but they won't respond?
How does that work?
If I got an interview at Chick-fil-A.
If you got an interview.
You wouldn't respond, or they wouldn't?
Oh, I haven't got a response from Chiquelais.
Okay.
But if I did, I'm always, like, thinking,
should I mention that I helped start, like, the protests against them?
Like, I mean, that's a pretty good point.
You know?
I mean, and we won.
We won.
You did?
Yeah.
Aren't they the most successful fast food chain in this country?
The foundation changed just political position on marriage equality.
They don't attack us anymore.
Well, so did pretty much everyone.
Everyone kind of got on board with.
I know.
Yeah.
That's, that was, it took action and thing.
You think it was that?
Or just like, just culture just moving forward?
It took action.
They wouldn't just like do that like.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I personally don't know.
I mean, it's a dialectic.
Politics is a dialectic.
People respond.
Uh-huh.
Positions.
You can guide people into stronger positions.
You can take action into kind of creating the emphasis to,
For a lot of gay people, they just got to like, oh, my nephew's gay.
Oh, maybe gay people aren't weird.
No, we like gays.
Yeah.
For a lot of people, that's just kind of, it was evolution over a few decades.
Right, but it also took action.
What really changed Chick-fil-A's, what is their foundation of Kathy, something like that.
They had a foundation that was funding opposition to marriage equality.
Well, they lost that one, so maybe they just gave up.
Well, what really did it was when municipalities,
started saying that they can't rent spaces from their airports,
from, you know, city-owned buildings.
And that, it hit their pocketbook.
It hit their pocketbook.
What's next?
Yeah, yeah.
Let's see.
I am acting.
I'm playing music.
I'm trying to talk about, like, trying to get a job.
Oh, I'm driving Uber E.
I know, I know.
But trying to get a job.
We know you're doing Uber.
Yeah, I apply all the time for tons of jobs everywhere.
Oh, although.
I have your resume.
Yeah.
I'll review it.
What's that?
That's in here?
I want to review it because if you're applying for jobs,
that's fantastic.
So let's do your resume.
Yeah, I probably need help with it.
You do.
From a general scan.
All right, so here's a few pointers out of the gate.
One, three pages.
You're applying for Chick-Fleye.
If Chick-Fleigh gets three pages, they're going to,
I mean, they're burning it.
So what should I put?
One page.
We're doing one page.
Of what?
Okay, this is for like a CFO.
Does two pages.
But what should I put?
Well, we'll talk about that, but that's just the...
Uber, Uber?
Well, hold on.
Because Uber's in there.
We'll get to there what you put on it.
But just first things first.
For what you're trying to do, three pages, one page.
Like, what job is this going to?
That basket of jobs.
a basket because you need to curate resumes very
specifically. That is a part of the reason
why you're immediately getting turned down. Digital strategist.
Digital strategist. Perfect. There you go.
So freelance writer, I'd get rid of that.
Digital media consultant? Okay, I'd keep
that on. Personality, get rid of it.
Strategist, portfolio, maybe. What is
Medium? What is medium? Give a medium
link. Medium is a
it's started by the guys that started
Twitter, Jack and
Okay, so nobody's using that. But it's a
long form publishing
platform.
I would say it's like the sister
to Twitter, but it's
long form. With no users?
I don't know
there's user base right now.
It's just a
blogging sort of tool.
I don't know their numbers.
So, results-driven Media Pro is
specialties in writing, infotainment,
and content strategy.
That's pretty okay.
Shaping audience and user experience.
I'm a
okay with that. Maximum earned impact for maximum earned impact since 2001. That's a little weird.
Sometimes funny, always shipping. I'd get rid of that. No need for personality in here.
Okay. Are you okay with that? Are you taking a fast? Yeah, just I'm okay. Oh, okay. You're also talking
about, and we cannot do this. I would do job by job because what you did 2013 to present,
what you're doing through these bullet points, which is meant to be about the content media
specialist or whatever, you have part-time Uber driver with 2,500 plus deliveries with 99%
customer satisfaction. I just, I wouldn't even
put that in there. I'm going to be honest.
Just like, it doesn't, like, no.
No fatalities.
And no fatalities.
It says, zero fatalities. I'm not taking that out.
That's, yeah, and zero fatalities.
That's big.
Have you ever been a taxi capture?
Rant. I want you to get a job.
Oh my God, no. I'm not taking that out.
What are we talking about?

You get little gigs out of it.
You didn't talk about the gig.
You talked about you being posting.
And it's like a...
Earning praise from the NIH director.
Do they even know that?
And surgeon general.
Yes.
Well, hey, former surgeon general of Florida,
Dr. Joseph Laddpo.
This is who you praised.
No, we know
On Twitter.
Yeah, we know each other.
Is that what you say about me?
No, I mean, every...
I just say, I just say that...
Because you seem to know a lot of people,
but do they know that you...
They know you.
I say you're really nice.
That's what I say.
I am nice.
In general, I'm also...
I go between...
Like, I just...
I just hit it real.
Oh, okay.
Would you just...
agree?
I don't know what's going on.
That's concerning.
Okay, so yeah, this is, I mean,
just this, oh my gosh.
All right. Hey, let's pay
to sit, Brent, down with like a
resume helper, because this is just,
yeah, let's do that.
Because this is going to be just too much to go to
and we've got to get to these finances.
Because that, just that first page
out of three, this is a disaster.
I want you to look at all my skills, dude,
because I'm like, I got skills,
like, I got to get to the third
page to see them.
I got skills.
Dude.
Okay, skills.
Storytelling.
Growth marketing.
Infotainment.
Yeah.
Improv comedy.
Yeah.
I haven't seen it yet.
Songwriting.
Horseback riding.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Totally.
You don't know.
You might be like working at a coffee shop
and then you got to get on a horse.
I don't know how things work.
It happens.
Media analysis.
Analytics.
Well, that's good.
Business consulting.
Is that a skill?
I don't know.
It's more of a job.
Horseback.
More.
Okay.
Come on, dude.
This is so stupid.
He's not even going to say it.
What's so stupid?
You're meming your life.
I'm not even going to say.
So how about this, Brent?
Genuine question.
Genuine question.
Do you even give a fuck about your life?
No one.
You even give a fuck.
You don't because you won't read my resume.
Do you even give a fuck?
You're doing nothing.
Your resume is a joke.
You're acting like a joke.
You don't do anything.
You're not pursuing anything real.
You've never accomplished anything real and tangible.
You said this place was steps from the water.
We just haven't found the steps yet.
How much did we save?
Enough.
Enough to get lost.

Just steps from the water.

Book on Hilton.com or the Hilton app
and save up to 20% to get the state.
you expected. When you want savings, not surprises. It matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay.
The only thing holding you, the only thing going for you is your, okay, Brent, what are you doing?
Come on. I, I'm genuinely, I want to know. Do you give a fuck about your life?
No.
You ever try to figure out what your insurance actually covers? It's like decoding ancient scrolls,
except instead of treasure, you're rewarded with a whole music marathon and a vague, maybe. And then
is why I love what Roe is doing. They created a free insurance checker that tells you if your
insurance covers JLP-O-P-1 medications, stuff like Go-ZEPIC or Wigovi. And here's how it works.
You just submit your insurance info, and a few days later, Roe sends back a report showing which
GOP-1s are covered in whether a prior authorization is needed. No paperwork, no hold music,
no being transferred six times. And you don't even have to be a Roe member to use it. It doesn't
tell you the cost, but it clears up the most frustrating part, what's actually covered.
Join the over 1 million people who've trusted Road to check their coverage for free.
Go to road.co slash Caleb for your free insurance check.
That is RO.com slash Caleb to see if your insurance covers JLP1s for free.
And go to road.com slash safety for box warning and full safety information about JLP1 medications.
Let's get back to the episode.
You know that moment when you're staring at your bank balance thinking, cool, Friday is still three days away and I need gas now?
Yeah, that's where Chime, the sponsor of today's video, comes in.
You already get your paycheck up to two days early with Chime,
but if that's not early enough, you can use their MyPay feature.
With MyPay, you can access up to $500 of your pay before payday,
no interest, no credit check, no mandatory fees.
And here's how it works.
You set up a qualifying direct deposit into your time checking account.
In the app, you'll see how much of your upcoming paycheck you can access early.
Then you choose your amount to receive before payday,
and you want it instantly?
You can pay a small fee, just $2, $2,000.
to get it right away, but it's free within 24 hours
if you actually wait.
If your car eats like a belt,
your dog decides to play vet visit roulette,
or you just don't wanna count down hours
until your paycheck drops,
my pay has your back,
and yes, you'll repay the advance
via your next direct deposit,
so it's straightforward and no interest,
none of that bullshit
that we usually complain about on the show.
And just while we're at it,
Chimes H-Y-S-A,
which is a high-yield savings account by the way,
also rocks with an up to 3.5%
APY, which is over eight times the average of 0.4% nationwide, so you can build real savings
while you're easing into payday life. There's no monthly fees, no minimum balance fees,
a few minutes to sign up. And right now, you can get up to $350 with a new CHIME account
when you sign up at chime.com slash Caleb. Why? That's what you want me to say.
No. I'm not. I'm not. Dude, you're the fucking Joker, man. I don't know. Are you an idiot?
We just threw an emotional arc in the middle of the podcast where I'm like saying,
that I just went to fucking rehab, dude.
I don't know.
You're, like, missing a beat or something.
Yet, your resume's a joke.
And you're not doing anything to improve this part of your life.
I celebrated the rehab with you.
We're not going to sit here and jerk each other off the entire conversation about it.
We're moving on.
I shouldn't use that resume?
Hold on.
I got to go rethink my life.
I shouldn't use that resume?
Is that what you're saying?
What are you doing right now?
I should...
That was real?
You're saying I really shouldn't use that resume?
He's saying I shouldn't use that resume?
I'm a little confused of what to do.
I got a fucking rethink everything.
My God.
Been wasting time.
Hold on.
This episode's changing my life.
I could already feel it coming on.
You know you have the choice.
For what?
People that take and make the choice to walk a walk
away from here and put in actionable things that we talk about, change their lives.
We have incredibly successful people that have been on the show.
You're not one of them.
And that is your choice.
Just a loser.
If we're being candid, yes.
I can't hear you, the AC.
Oh, I'm a loser, baby.
Why don't you kill me?
I don't know how this always happens, but we talk about how I want you to get better
and something that is wrong with something you're doing.
And then the third time is the charm where without fail, you're just a baby.
Oh, you go.
No, that's it.
Oh, you don't.
Do you know.
Do you got me more, though?
I mean, it's going to take a while to fill up like an episode.
So you don't care.
I can feel a podcast just talking by myself.
Yes, that's why you've been so successful.
Can you do it?
Well, as the top 10 podcasts on the Internet, yes.
But not by yourself.
You need to pay somebody to beat up on.
Not pay.
You get paid.
That's, because you pay somebody to beat up.
Do you think you'd be famous if you didn't have somebody paid to beat up?
They're not paid.
Honest question.
Again, the way you approach everything is so disingenuous.
Are you not going to answer the question?
Honest question from a media player.
But your question's wrong.
Do you think that you would be successful if you weren't paying people to beat up on them?
Well, I got ahead.
A quarter million dollar net worth.
at 25 before starting the show well above the median average.
So, yes.
That was an honest question.
Yes, but it was not a good faith question because it was incorrect.
We do not pay people to come on the show.
We do not pay people to come on the show.
Don't be a dumb, Brent.
I don't know.
Don't be a dumb.
You're being a .
I'm being a .
This is inappropriate.
This is inappropriate.
You're being a because you know that's a disingenuous answer.
You're going to insult me at least like do something slightly real instead of just
just like,
random word.
It's not even relevant to, like,
I asked you a genuine question.
It wasn't genuine and it wasn't good faith.
You know we don't pay people to come on the show.
You get paid once a year
to go
to just sit here and see what's happened to you.
I responded to a paid casting call.
Exactly.
The first time I went on.
Well, that was different.
That's when we didn't have an audience.
So, yeah, we put it out onto platforms to receive people.
I don't know how it works, man.
Didn't ask instead of fucking.
I did.
You didn't.
You're being disingenuous.
Did I not ask him?
I just ask him, do you think you'll be famous?
If?
What was the second half of your question?
Do you think you'd be famous if you didn't pay people to go on your show?
And you could be like, no, we don't.
Okay, I don't know.
Well, no, because the question is, would you be famous?
They wasn't having to correct the second half.
You're not a good faith person.
You don't think that was a good faith.
You're not, no.
You're not a good faith person.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I was genuinely curious.
I've never viewed you as a.
bad person. I viewed you as a troubled
person and kind of a loser
because you've never accomplished anything in your entire life.
But I won a f*** a
flat award, dude. Buddy,
you made 4,000 hours a month off that magazine.
It wasn't a very good magazine.
You didn't do shit. I want a glad bar. Also, you
tried to read- I got citations in the Washington
Post. You know what you got? You tried to renegotiate
your contract and they said, oh shit, you're not worth dick.
And they got you out of there. Well, now you're saying I wasn't
getting paid enough. Maybe there was a reason I quit.
Yeah, almost like, you didn't
You didn't quit.
You tried to get more money.
They said no.
I knew how much money we were making.
Yeah, not much.
And I decided it wouldn't worth it anymore.
I wanted to move on.
I didn't like the editorial direction he was taking after marriage equality.
And you've been so successful since.
No.
Yes, correct.
There you go.
So yes.
Again,
I've never considered you a genuinely bad person.
I'm not out here saying that I'm a financial success, dude.
You're like, you're arguing with a straw man.
I'm not arguing with a straw man.
You don't let me get to the end of my statements and my thoughts.
Go on. I'm going to show up for a little.
What I was going to say is I've never viewed you as a genuinely bad person,
but I have viewed you as kind of a loser in life and a troubled person.
And because of that, it's because of how you act, how you send emails,
you're getting arrested for death threats to the governor.
And because...
What point?
No, I did not.
I did not.
I did not.
In the end, now after this conversation, seeing how...
You are actually...
Okay.
So you're not going to let me finish my point because I was actually...
No, because you're actually libeling me again.
You have a trouble with reality.
Sue me.
I might.
Do it.
Oh, I might.
Love to see how these war chests stack up against each other.
It doesn't really matter.
There's fact and objectivity.
Yes.
And if you believe in fact in objectivity, you do, right?
Oh, yeah.
Then you libeled me last time by saying that I'm unwilling to work.
And I specifically said, I will take a job beneath what I'm expecting.
You're not willing to work.
Because your resume is a joke.
That's not a resume that's going to get a job and you know it.
Do you think that's...
You don't give a fuck.
Do you think that that's what I send to everybody?
I think it's what you send to digital media.
I think that's what I sent to you.
Which is what you care about.
You are so strange.
Again, to finish my point.
But now, because of seeing how you've approached,
some of these things with bringing up Noah disingenuously,
without you knowing anything about it,
without, with you bringing up the...
With you, I'm going to finish my point.
With you bringing up your paying guests to come on to get berated when that is objectively not true,
I no longer unfortunately believe that you're not generally a bad person because you are not good faith.
You come in and you try to smear to take down the show that has you got your feelings hurt
because you get called on your shit for the first time in your life because you're an egotistical f who never gets called out on anything.
You're a child.

You're on the stage. The nation's watching.
Not true.
Oh, good one.
It's all it takes.
Yeah, hit it.
It's all it takes.
It's all it takes, except we literally have the facts about not paying guests that come on the show.
We literally have the facts about Noah.
We have the facts about all this.
Your last episode, you were disingenuous about the payment thing.
Shut the fuck.
You are not a good faith person.
You're not a good person.
I'm happy and can celebrate the sobriety thing.
Just because you did one good thing, very good thing,
does not all of a sudden mean the rest of your life is considered good.
or that you're a good person.
And that's not how it should ever do.
Oh, come on.
It's not, sorry, I feel that way.
It's via your actions and your statements.
When people disingenually try to bring down someone
because they just don't like the way they say things,
it's a disgusting thing.
It's a disgusting part of our culture.
You are a disgusting part of our culture.
You are going to make things up,
just like many other people have,
to try to harm somebody because you didn't like them.
You're disgusting.
But besides that, what do you think your financial score is today?
Zero to ten.
Zero being the worst, 10 being the best.
I don't know where that's coming from.
You don't know, I would say probably zero.

Holy shit.
Oh my goodness.
It's an in-video advertisement.
That's crazy.
That's never been heard of before.
But usually it's more like what you want to do.
Yes, please.
Tell me successful podcast or how is it normally.
Yeah, it's more like integrated conversationally.
I think you just like went, whoa.
It was crazy.

How much money came in last month?
I was in rehab.
Is that the month we have?
We're the Hartford,

thank you. One size, absolutely does not fit all. Get a quote or find an agent today at the
heartford.com slash small business. I'm still actually in outpatient. That's good. Yeah, it's nice.
It's great. Well, I want you to get the support where you can. Again, just because I know behind
the scenes that you're generally not a good person, you've done bad things and you tried to harm us in many
different ways.
Doesn't mean that I'm not
going to celebrate you.
And hopefully, you know what?
Actually, I want to take an account
that during those times
when we received
those phone calls
from those sources...
I canceled Gerber.
I canceled Gerber from your last show.
I was so pissed off with the way you treated
me in the last show.
I had Gerber.
I talked to somebody in Gerber.
I said, this is terrible.
Somebody's going to kill themselves on the show.
Like, I was literally worried
that somebody will kill themselves on this show.
I mean, it was...
Will it be you?
Like, is that what you're saying?
I don't know.
Oh, I thought about it.
Well, I hope not.
Please don't.
If you need help, 988 and reach out.
We will make sure we do anything to make sure you don't.
I think that's, yeah.
Reminder, what you guys do not know is I've answered a phone call in the middle of a water park.
Having fun with my friends on a day off on a weekend from Brin, talk to him for an hour and helped him.
Yeah, you don't even remember this.
No, you didn't.
Yeah, of course you don't.
Was this what year was this?
Was this?
What year was this?
It doesn't fucking.
I've been gone for three years.
Exactly.
This is about a year and a half ago.
No, not a year and a half ago.
You didn't at a water park.
Yes, trustworthy.
Huh?
Uh-uh.
You said I was not at a water park?
No.
I also talked to you in my driveway once on the phone as well.
I help you when you need help.
And you try to hurt us behind our back.
I answered your call.
You're disgusting person.
After you sent troubling text messages, yes, I reached out and talk to you on the phone to help you.
So fuck you saying the show's bad.
You didn't, though.
Reliable source of information, Brent Davy.
Yes, trust him or trust me.
You decide who?
Oh, fuck.
Okay, well, the finances are going to be interesting.
I've never done the finances of the month that someone was in rehab.
What's been happening since you've been out?
Let's say, well, September.
What happened in September finances was?
I don't know.
I guess it was...
Okay, it just ended.
September just ended.
I mean, I've been...
Working on things.
I don't really know.
Like what?
What have you been working on?
Myself.
That's things.
Cool.
What have you been doing to work on yourself?
I'm volunteering.
I'm going to meetings.
Good.
We support that.
And with the rest of the time?
Preparing to go on the show.
How long, how much preparation?
You know, everyone that comes on the show is,
from the audience, and they literally just come and they film,
and then they go home and they have a good time and everyone's happy.
What the fuck do you have to prepare for?
Log into your accounts?
I've been working with...
I guess it's stressful.
Redacting things.
No need.
We do that.
You didn't the first time, so I've been...
The first time, Brent, when I was in my condo by myself, you know the show's different.
Don't be a disingenuous prick.
Maybe I have fucking f***erment from out stress disorder, too.
I don't know.
Well, you seem to have everything.
You make up something new every episode, like law, this time, law school.
I went to Loyal Law School.
I dropped down after I shattered my ankle.
This is interesting how when you were really happy...
Is this real?
Or is this...
Is he bullshit?
Does he actually not believe me?
Or is he, like, being...
Buddy, this is our third meeting
and you bragged so hard about your degree
and information systems.
That would come up in those conversations
about you bragging.
I can't encompass my entire life for you.
Entire life?
I asked what you did...
What degree, what school you went to the first time?
That would have come up.
print?
I dropped out after I shattered my ankle.
Okay, why does the shattering ankle
equal drop out? Because people
get injured in school.
Yeah, I had a complication.
The cast was...
New lore. I was an idiot. The cast was on...
It's also not on your resume. It's another reason not to believe it.
It was because I didn't graduate, so I didn't put it on there.
Yeah, I dropped
down after almost a year.
But I had a complication.
my ankle.
The cast was on too tight
and I didn't realize it
and my heel died
and when they took off the
cast it was a stage 5 pressure ulcer.
You've had this thing forever.
Yeah.
What's the treatment?
It blows.
I basically have to
you know everyone in the last episode
thought you were going to say cancer
because you hyped it up.
You were like stage one.
It used to be stage two, but now stage one,
with a bandana,
press for all, sir.
Oh, that's because I'm a sweaty Irishman,
a bandana.
Yeah, so, yeah.
You look better now.
Oh, thank you.
You do, no, you've had a glow-up,
and I'm happy the sobriety has worked.
Yeah, I just got a picture of it.
It's a little nasty.
What stage is it now?
Oh, right now it's a one,
but it's one.
No, that's a stage five.
Good.
That is a stage five right after.
That was the worst it's ever been,
and that caused a permanent deep tissue.
Yeah.
And what is the treatment?
And so now it vacillates between one and three.
That's good.
Whenever it's three, I have to clean it and dress it and shit.
But like now, if I stand on it too much, it gets acting up.
But remind me.
What's the treatment?
I was banging off your feet.
Like, whenever it starts getting bad, I mean, I can do some things, but like sometimes it acts up.
Also, one of my producers right now just went through your entire LinkedIn with key searches.
nothing about law or loyal
was ever on your LinkedIn,
and we know you like to type.
Yeah, I didn't tell stories.
I didn't put Loyal on there because I didn't graduate.
Can we search the email inbox?
It might be in there for Mr. Brent.
Because you talk about everything.
If they could see the approximately
5,000 emails we received from you?
Are you accusing me of like lying to going to law school?
Yes.
I met Anthony Romero at law school.
Yes, you've met everyone.
That's your favorite thing.
Name dropping.
That's what you do.
I worked with Anthony Romero.
I'm sure you did.
Yes, you worked with Baracko,
You were his best friend and you ran his presidency.
This is, I mean, like, this is what you always do.
Did you see the-
And then you've never done anything?
Do you know Colin Holbach?
Uh, no.
No, he's a documentary filmmaker.
He just did that big Q-Anon thing.
And you were not in it.
No, I didn't.
Okay, then, yay!
No, but I worked with him and-
Of course you did.
Brent.
This is what I want to correct about your language.
I am not pushing back on you saying you worked with people necessarily.
It's you always this amplifying yourself.
Your bullshit resume.
You're thanking your life as a joke.
Oh, I worked with this.
I accomplished this.
You have nothing tangible that you've ever done.
And no one's hiring you because of that.
So I want to reframe how you present yourself.
Because I want you to get a job and have a good career.
Tell me what to say.
It's not about what to say.
I'm telling you what not to right now.
You're always talking about I've worked at this.
I've worked through this.
You're jerking yourself constantly off about everything you've done
even though you have nothing to show.
I don't have a ton of money.
That's not a...
I asked for a credit on the...
I'm trying to get you,
money.
By getting a job.
Okay, I'll give credit where creditors do.
We got loyal mentioned a couple times in emails.
A couple emails out of the 5,000, but are they new?
Nowadays believe in it.
I love how every time you look around, everyone's eyes go down to the floor.
Everyone's afraid of making eye contact with you.
They're terrified.
Yeah.
Also, again, this is how I know your bad faith.
you went out there the person who got fired for being bad at their job,
and I've only had to fire a couple people.
You went, and you were like supporting his entire snark a bullsh,
his disingenuous bull, because he was a petty motherfucker.
I thought he had a perspective.
He had a perspective of a fired employee who's very upset that he was bad with his job,
multiple jobs in a row getting fired,
and has never accomplished anything in his life.
It never will.
His most successful thing he's ever done in his life was about someone else.
I talked to him.
I thought he was nice.
You ever have one of those problems you just kind of work around?
like the AC in my car was broken for two summers, so I just drove a night.
That's not fixing it, that is adapting to a broken system.
And that is exactly how I used to shave.
I thought irritation, razor bumps, and red splotchy skin was just a part of shaving.
So I bought the fancy creams.
I shaved with the grain, against the grain, sideways.
I became a skincare scientist just to keep my face from looking like a pepperoni pizza.
And then I tried Henson, not because it had more blades or weird features, but because it didn't.
It was just better made and it actually worked.
And now my skin, calmer, zero irritation, and I don't even think about it anymore.
And that is the best part.
When you finally fix something you've been compensating for, there's this relief.
Like, oh, it was never me.
It was the tool.
If you've been patching your way through shaving, click the link below and try Henson.
It's not about doing more.
It's about finally solving it.
Let's get back to the episode.
It's a win-win.
You get money and I get money.

Enjoy!
Links are in the description below.
Credit card.
There is.
There's the addiction that I politely requested he did not do.
What a kind guy.
Credit card, no one's in collections.
Oh, yeah, I have a couple in collections.
Which is fair, because if you're in sobriety, like I always say,
focus on that, like put the finances.
Honestly, do not matter if we're taking care of our life.
That's what I always say.
It's an investment in myself.
So, yeah, totally.
I feel like my earning potential is going to be great.
Oh, you?
43.
Really?
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Same thing happened with this person alone, and this person alone, and this person alone.
So you just gave up.
Because you weren't in sobriety when these started of not pain.
You're just a full-on-stop pain, end of, uh,
It was actually after our last episode.
It looks like he just gave up and you stopped.
Yeah, I got the opposite of every other guest.
I got attacked and then I got the road.
Got attacked now?
What happened?
Yeah.
I will,
I've been attacked a lot, man.
Why are you getting attacked?
Where are you?
What are you doing?
I've just been getting attacked.
Oh, come on.
Just getting an attack.
Give us a little more information.
Oh, one time I'm walking down the street
from actual,
I bought cleaning supplies at this dollar general.
And I'm walking down.
on the street with a bucket, and I'm about to clean this room I rented from a pad split,
a mop of cleaning supplies, from Dollar General.
I'm being really thrifty, doing everything right, and some girl in a truck goes, hey,
it throws a bottle at me out of the truck, and I'm like, what the fuck?
What was that?
Okay, you made it sound like you got beat up by a, like, a game.
Then one time, one time, I mean, one time I'm...
You've got a bottle thrown on you.
That sucks. I'm sorry, but different things.
No, weird things like that.
And one time I'm walking from an extended stay motel over two.
This is Dallas.
This is Dallas, man.
It was all Dallas.
Dallas was so glad.
Dallas was about to eat me alive.
Like, uh, I got out of there.
You got attacked.
Please tell me.
One time I'm walking to the convenience store from this extended stay motel, about to start my Uber shift.
and a crackhead jumped me
like with my backpack
and I did not have
I did not have my laptop in it
thank God
but like I had a pair of glasses in it
that I bought from the last time on the show
and then I can just imagine him like
being like oh there's only glasses in here
and I'm like
oh god
I don't know
does I have to do with you not making payments
I wasn't able to make them
okay
And there's
But I'm sympathetic for the jumping, I don't see how it's connected.
Yeah, it's like the maintenance of being attacked is a lot of work.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, so you're in pretty rough areas.
Yeah, it's true.
I mean, those low-income, extended to stay motels are not great.
How did you get personal protection of some, you know, p-poo?
Um, I, I, I don't trust me, I am not advocating for that for you.
I don't know.
I just didn't do it.
I mean, I grew up around guns.
But they're amazed?
Like if this is a reoccurring thing,
and not the victim blame,
but I'm blaming you a little
for not going and getting pepper spray
after the third time.
I've never pulled a weapon on anybody,
and I don't even know if I could.
So, I mean, it's a self-defense thing.
I'm not considering that a weapon necessarily.
Defense mechanism.
Yeah, I should get it.
I should totally have it.
You're right.
You've gone gray.
Oh, you're stressed.
True.
Stress, lad.
You were a nice blonde boy
when I first met you.
Blonde?
Or something.
I don't know.
What are you?
Brown?
Well, it used to be bright red, but it kind of...
I did not see red.
I never see red.
You're ginger!
Yeah.
You're ginger?
Lindsay, this is one of yours.
Yep.
Well, our other ginger in our fight went blonde.
Lindsay Lohan went blonde.
She's a ginger trader.
Huh? Personal own.
Also, collections.
This one just started.
This person alone just went.
to collections.
745.
Just.
Cell phone, this guy's been in collection since forever.
Nope.
Oh, that was the cell phone that got stolen in Palm Springs.
And then I haven't.
Palm Springs.
Are you able to go anywhere without getting, like,
are you able to go anywhere without getting attacks?
The last trip when I went to L.A.
Uh-huh.
Right.
I got robbed.
That sucks, man.
I'm sorry.
Right.
Once you start putting yourself in safe
for positions, if possible.
Oh, risk management is like key.
Well, at least pepper spray.
Yeah, totally.
Like, this just seems to keep happening.
Yeah.
Like, relentlessly.
Yeah, no.
Risk reduction.
I can't really travel very well.
Because they won't let you on a plane or?
No.
No.
I can't really travel alone very well.
How's your dating life?
Um, I'm not really interested in right now.
When's the last time?
Last time I had a boyfriend or went on a date?
Both.
Oh, last boyfriend, oh, probably 2018.
It's a while.
Yeah, a long time.
And date?
I'm not really dating.
I can't remember the last date.
I probably went out sometime in the last five years, but I'm just like,
What was the last?
I don't, I'm not really dating.
You're not even,
not really.
We've got to get you laid.
Oh my God.
Oh, you'll get so excited about the world again.
I don't know.
I think I did enough of that in my 20s.
Were you safe?
Oh, of course.

Actual prices may vary, limited time offer.
Amin told every single time you've been targeted or attack,
you were also equally at that exact time completely like fpped up drunk.
Like, are you sure you didn't extend anything, but you just don't maybe have an acknowledgement of it?
Anytime that I've been attacked, I've been fipped drunk?
That's not true.
Oh, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
No, you're right.
This was a question.
They wanted me to ask were you always drunk?
Oh, was I always drunk?
I read it wrong.
Oh, I got to.
No, no.
It's not just always drunk get attacked, but it sure doesn't.
help in the risk reduction department.
You don't want to put yourself in risky situations.
And when you're drunk out of your mind...
Like bottoming without a condom.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There you go. Cheers.
Oh, here's some cream shoving up your ass.
Thank you.
You started with 91 cents in your checking account.
I just got forked.
Okay.
You started with negative...
Or you started with 91 cents in your checking account.
Which month?
Oh, yeah.
End of August.
So this was asked to rehab, technically.
Oh, right.
No, that's right.
I was getting out, I guess.
And where was the income coming from?
Uber Eats?
Uber Eats, yeah.
Any government assistance?
No, Uber Eats writing.
Why aren't you on, you don't have like,
are you on like Affordable Care Act?
Any of the health plans there subsidized?
Yeah, I got the health care.gov plan.
It's pretty easy.
Isn't it?
It was this time.
Can you, thank you.
Tell that to everyone out there on this show that has come on their bitch and moan.
It's so easy.
I had, I had issues getting on it before, but this time it was easy.
Because you were sober.
No, I was sober.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm joking.
I'm goofing with you.
I'm more than like a, you know.
I'm goofing with you.
We're friends.
Oh, no.
I don't want you to repeat that.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
I feel special.
I just don't want you to repeat it.
I know you like repeating all the people you know.
Telephone, Teleprint.
Apple Bill, Spotify.
See, listen, if we're just trying to survive,
like, okay, Spotify I'm okay with because you're Uber eating,
so like, yeah, let's listen to songs.
Just whatever this Apple Bill is subscription, like,
I definitely don't want that.
There's an overdraft for a second.
Spotify?
Why do I have?
Oh, no, it was overdraft from Spotify.
Spotify.
F***ing it.
Oh, it's making you cry, man.
I'm sorry.
No, it's making me
get oily.
Amazon.
What are we Amazoning?
Oh, I'm a film and television critic
on Book and Film Globe,
which is absolutely one of the best sites.
I just want you to survive.
Yeah, it's a job.
I'm...
It's one of the best...
It's one of the best sites
in the entire Internet.
What's it called?
Book and Film Globe.
We got Stephen Garrett from Time Out.
I do not, but I am not a...
Okay, Lindsay worked in Hollywood for quite a long time.
He does, you know, posting on Medium is a thing.
He posts on Medium.
I know that.
Book and Film Globe, it's owned by Ken Kerson, who's...
Dude, I don't know the names you say.
The former editor of the Village Voice in New York.
We got Stephen Garrick from Time Out.
Okay, we don't, you're doing the name thing again.
You're doing the name thing.
Oh, you're doing the name thing.
It's just a great, it's a great blog.
And I love it.
Okay.
It's a journal.
You're spending a lot of money on it when you have none.
It's media criticism and it's, if you want to know what a thing is about on the internet, like, what is this movie about?
I need to like.
Are you sponsored?
Am I sponsored?
By them?
I worked there.
What do you make?
I review television.
What do you make money?
I make money.
I make money.
I make money writing about shows on the internet.
How much, Brins, please?
How much money?
Lots of lots of money.
Okay, you're being a goofball now because you heard them make a giggle.
As a freelance writer, I make around $1,000 to $2,000 a month freelance writing.
I mean, I've been in.
900 came in and you said you're also doing Uberie.
That doesn't line up.
I've been in rehab, dude.
No, you weren't in this month.
This is the entire month of August.
It's not a single date from July.
What?
I don't know.
I do.
Okay.
Can I see it?
We have money transfer in from...
That looks like the Ubreed's card.
Same with that one.
And then same with that one.
So we've only had Uber Eats come...
Are you sure they know you're employed?
Who?
Book and film globe?
I write for them.
Can't cursing signs my checks.
Why did I not see any sign checks?
Because the checks...
Don't come in an image on the statement, Caleb.
Yeah, but there's no deposits.
Are you sure you do this three times a week?
There was no deposits.
Are you sure you do this three times a week?
No, I'm not.
I do four.
Okay, I don't know why.
Because maybe I didn't have one go in that month
or maybe I redact it.
That's concerning.
I don't know.
You didn't redact it because I at least see the money coming at.
Oh, book and film globe pays me by check.
Other outlets pay me by PayPal.
Yeah, you deposit your checks, though.
Yes, yes.
Okay.
The last one I wrote, I covered...
Because it's Amazon, Amazon.
Amazon Dropout TV. Oh, I don't think I got that check yet. I don't remember. You said every month.
Yeah, I usually send an invoice at the end of the month. This was a whole month and this was a month
over a month ago. I don't know, Caleb. Sorry. But the last dropout TV? Dropout. I covered
a dropout TV is great by the way. They got this show very important people that I covered for
book and film globe. Are you sponsored?
Am I sponsored by them?
Dropout TV?
By Dropout TV? No.
Then I don't care.
Apple Bill, Netflix, Adobe,
Amazon, Amazon, Amazon.
It's a lot of Amazon.
Can you pull up your Amazon?
My Amazon?
What do you want to see on my Amazon?
Do you orders?
Oh.
Silly goose?
I'll see what we ordered.
Silly goose.
Silly goose guy?
I don't remember what I.
We're probably Paramount, maybe.
I don't know
I don't know
I can't tell you
I'm making a little caves
I don't want to you frosty
All right
You heart eater
Man
This is good
That's fine
Grisly
No
Yeah
Artery
Peripia Amazon
Let's see what we got
What are the days
What did you think of the goof juice
I
That's Charlie's
I was like
I don't know if you put in the proper ratio.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Does it seem sweet or less?
It feels like Kool-Aid.
Yeah, it's very Kool-Aid-ish.
I think you have the caffeinated version, though.
It's just very good, instead of going and buying a lot in energy drinks,
that link is in the description below.
Get yours 25 cents a serving.
Instead of stopping it and getting some bullshit,
you can also get free samples, put in code Caleb to test.
I'll be honest, I do like Charlie.
That's not my favorite one.
Let's see. What are the dates on the order?
I just want to look at your orders. Can I just look at your orders?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bohemian Chick Bandana. Back with the Bandanas, aren't you?
Another Bandana, really spent a lot of money on bandanas. He got the water bottle.
Dude, we would have got you a free bottle. You know you can reach out.
Besides the, you know, sketchy things you send us, you're allowed to ask for help, and we will set you up with anything.
Oh, sweet.
Buddy, I've offered that since the first episode.
Oh, I didn't know. I didn't know.
You can send more than threats.
Okay, color changer for your bedroom.
I just invited you over, though.
That was all.
I invited you over.
And you were attended.
Multivitamin, that's okay.
Razors, you know, prepping for the one bottom per decade.
Taking some assumptions there.
Power bottom, though, for sure.
Uh-huh.
Playing cards.
shirts, I don't know,
fidget spinner, like a lot of these don't seem
100% necessary, and then chess, like, I'm just like,
ugh, it's that we're really struggling
with money. These are essential rehab
goods that, I mean, like,
these are, you need chess
in rehab. Oh, they don't have it.
Well, we didn't at our house,
so I bought it for us.
I mean, I would think that
you would be stung. No check from them in July either.
Now, I know, of course, that's when you actually were in
rehab, but I'm just, I'm just, I
I have two months here, and I didn't see a single check.
I don't know when I actually deposited it, but I covered, I don't know if I got paid for it yet,
but I covered very important people in, I think it was July.
Can you show me your article?
Yeah.
They loved it on Dropout TV.
You loved it?
Well, I'm sure.
Made them look good, right?
Well, I love the show.
I love covering things alone.
I don't think I'll cover this one.
Mm-hmm.
Don't think you'll cover financial on it?
Oh, that's okay.
Most press is negative press, but that's how they make money, baby.
Oh, check it out.
Oh, that's Vic.
We found a really good still for the header image.
And do you have any confirmation anywhere that you're able to show me that you got paid for this,
that you got paid the money you say you did?
Because I want to take your word.
But again, with some of the disingenuous things you were saying in this conversation.
I mean, I don't have to prove it to you.
Because I'm confident in it.
You don't have to.
I'm asking if you can.
Well.
Maybe you could just take my word for it.
No, but seeing how you're disingenuous about me,
it makes it hard for me to believe
and I need an extra burden level of proof.
Crazy for hearing what you said.
You don't believe?
You don't think like freelance writing is a thing?
I know it's a thing, but I also know you.
What?
When have I lied to you?
Go on.
Continue.
Try to find it.
I'm not going back and forth on this.
Well, I've got the checks in my backpack.
You said it's in your backpack?
Is your backpack here?
No.
No, it's a home.
But you can ask.
You live in Austin again?
You can ask Ken Carson or Dan Freeman or Neil Pollock.
Dude, you're doing the name thing.
Who's the one? Name one.
What's the first one you said?
Kin.
Kinerson owns C-I-N.
K-I-N?
K-E-N.
Key-E-N.
K-E-N.
K-E-N? K-E-N, are you saying?
Yeah.
Neil Pollock is my former editor.
He spoke K-E-N.
Let me see, let me make sure.
Here he is.
Okay.
You know, see it reads media.
Call him.
I don't have a phone number.
He owns it.
Okay, so not lots of conversations back and forth with them then, I assume.
With the owner?
No.
Well, who pays you?
See, it reads media for...
Who's the guy?
Who's the guy?
That you talked to.
Who's the guy?
That you talk to.
Neil Pollock is my former editor, Dan Friedman,
is my new editor.
Dan Friedman.
Yes.
He's the former editor of Forward Magazine,
executive editor.
And he is now...
The editor of Book and Film Globe.
I feel like I'm like in a congressional hearing.
And it's just freelance writing.
I believe it or not, I actually care about the income
that's coming in so it can keep you alive.
But I need to believe that it's there since it wasn't in the two months that we have.
I don't know where the...
I don't know where the...
Hey, I see him as an author.
I don't see them listed as anything else.
but maybe he is.
Okay, yep.
Is the former executive author?
Okay, here we go.
Very, very good.
Very good.
Glad it meets your approval.
Well, I just know he exists
without a headshot on a website.
Call him.
Who?
Dan.
Dan right now?
Yeah.
Facebook Messenger.
Sure.
Yeah, let's see.
Does he know you by the name of Brent?
Yeah.
Is that your real name?
Brent?
Yeah.
Brent.
Brent Davy.
Okay.
It's never really new.
Yeah, it's a...
You didn't know if it was an online thing, or...
May I?
Well, he's not answering.
I didn't tell him I was coming out of there,
but Neil might now...
Where do you communicate?
I don't feel appropriate calling Neil right now.
Neil just got a new job as the...
And Dan, where do you communicate with Dan?
Facebook.
Can I see?
Yes.
Here is...
Anything that involves payment?
For a chance?
Well, he's brand new.
I didn't send him an invoice.
I sent Neil an invoice.
Here's Dan Friedman.
Well, I guess you're recording this, so you...
Well, this doesn't have to be on camera.
Okay.
It's crazy.
It's just unprofessional.
I'm sending pitches.
I got one of them, too.
He's my new editor.
I don't have a great relationship with him
because I don't barely know him,
but Neil is my former editor at the blog.
Well, this goes back to the beginning of July,
and he has sent one thing saying,
amazing, to your, like, first message.
Here, let me see.
He hasn't responded since then.
No, he greenlit that review.
I'm talking about the one thumbs up?
That he reacted to one message in July?
Oh, we went over to email.
We went over to email.
I sent him a pitch for a story about rehab,
and it's a music integrated rehab.
Oh, I shouldn't talk too much about that.
I'm giving away too many details.
But that might be going in Rock and Roll Globe.
That's something that exists somewhere
that a couple people probably read.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's known in the critics' community.
Oh, good.
so the critics see it, but no humans.
I don't know what our readership numbers are like.
I'm not the analytics guy.
Sorry, I don't have everything.
But Brent, you give me everything in my heart.
The thing is, buddy, this is the point where I make a budge of in here,
I saw some spending.
We saw the Amazon, it was a little bullshit.
I can't trust your pay because I didn't see pay come in.
How many hours you put into Uberitz a month?
give me a number that I won't be able to trust.
30.
I kind of cut back on it a little bit
because the demand during the middle of the day
completely dried up.
Also, may I bring up the note?
This just hit my head.
I'm sure this has already popped
in other people's heads.
But usually with people I work with,
we aren't communicating on Facebook
and Messenger as the source.
So I don't really know how to make a budget here
and it's unfortunate because this honestly wasn't very productive.
I'm glad to see where you're at.
And I'm very glad.
I'm very glad to see that you got sober.
That is a W if there is a W, okay?
So seriously, well done on that.
There's always that, buddy.
No, that's huge.
That's huge.
That is huge.
I really appreciate it.
I didn't know you were struggling with that.
And if I did, I forgot.
But I don't think, I don't think we knew that.
But either way, yeah, not productive finance.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do with you financially.
You don't seem to want to change financially.
And you don't take any career things seriously.
in your resume you need to take seriously
and you just don't take a lot
of your life seriously and that concerns me.
So I want this, I just want to
I don't want pushback. I'm wrapping
this up. I just want to let you know
from just a human to another human
I am concerned.
I'm concerned. I hope you take
it seriously. I want you to take the resume. We'll pay
for someone to sit down with you a resume expert
and help you with that, but I am concerned
that you'll never be able to pay bills and I don't know
if your
press or ulcer turns into
spawns off into two.
Sure.
If like, who knows, you've had health problems.
It sounds like in your only, believe it or not, young 40s,
I'm concerned with where life looks like in your 60s.
And that deeply concerns me.
And I want to prepare you, but unfortunately, I don't think we're in that place.
So I just want to-
Not a budgeting thing.
I think the question that I kind of wanted to ask you was more like,
and I don't know if you've ever gotten this before,
but bankruptcy, when is that?
I have gotten there before.
Yeah, what do you think?
bankruptcy is a fine tool.
I mean, it's expensive to go through.
It's a few thousand bucks.
It's not completely stress-free.
In your situation, it might be okay.
I'm not horribly terrified of it, though.
You're mostly collections anyway.
I don't see people like coming after you.
No.
So it'll stay on your record as long as those are, if not more.
So I don't think you necessarily need to.
However, just like any debt consolidation
or credit card transfer, a personal loan or bankruptcy,
if you do not change your behavior first,
there is no point of doing it because you will end up
in the same exact situation again.
Right.
And there is nothing showing behavior change.
I would say you shouldn't now.
Actually, no, never mind.
I take that back.
There was less bullshit money, by far.
There also just wasn't much money to do it,
and you didn't have the ability to put it on a credit card.
I think the issue is more the earning...
That's what I was trying to get to the bottom.
Right.
And that's why we need to take your career...
Seriously, a real job.
Yeah.
Okay, we're going to go into the post show, ladies and gentlemen.
