Caleb Hammer
I'm not giving up. I am selling the building. The final season of FX is the Bear.
Sophia
The restaurant is flooded.
Caleb Hammer
Everything's either gonna be okay. No, stop.
Todd
Or not.
Caleb Hammer
We are outgunned and we are outmanned. But we have each other. FX's the bear, the final season, all episodes now streaming on Disney. To watch episodes of Financial Audit a week earlier, check us out on YouTube. I know that your families do not support this relationship.
Sophia
My family thinks that he's too verbally abusive and controlling the is he doing. Whenever I was like, it's too much like, you need to chill out and everything. And he just kept going.
Todd
She'd tell me to stop, and I would stop.
Sophia
No, you did not. There were three times that you did.
Caleb Hammer
Not doing what?
Todd
Well, just sexual stuff.
Caleb Hammer
And you didn't.
Sophia
There was one time that you did hit me that wasn't fun.

Todd
Hi, I'm Todd. I'm 29 years old.
Sophia
I'm Sophia and I'm 25 years old. And we live in Austin, Texas.
Todd
And this is financial audit.
Caleb Hammer
Hey, thanks for coming on, guys. All right, Todd, what do you do here in Austin for a living?
Todd
I'm a lead associate for a manufacturing company.
Caleb Hammer
Associate?
Todd
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Caleb Hammer
I lead to associate. That does not make sense. Associate is usually you're on the lower, but. Okay, what do you make?
Todd
Well, I just lead a bunch of little lower pawns.
Caleb Hammer
Lower associates?
Todd
Yes, yes, exactly. Got a couple of people under me. Pawns. I would probably be more like a. A bigger pawn. Not quite a knight or a bishop, but very good. I'd say I probably make about 35 an hour.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, you would say you make 30. Do you make 35 an hour?
Todd
Okay, exactly. I'd make about 35 19. Hour. Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Or 35 19.
Todd
I haven't checked it in a minute, but 35 19.
Caleb Hammer
You don't know your wage?
Todd
No, no, I don't keep track of it that often, no.
Caleb Hammer
How many hours a week do you work right now?
Todd
We're averaging about. We are 43 hours.
Caleb Hammer
We're.
Todd
I just say that me, I average 43 a week.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, very good. And what hits your account per paycheck cycle. And what is that paycheck cycle?
Todd
Right now we're looking at 2200 paycheck, which is every. Every two weeks.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. 44. Not bad. You got a lot of groceries to get, Sophia. Speaking of those, what do you do for a living?
Sophia
I'm currently unemployed.
Caleb Hammer
What the. Okay, that 44 was going to be really nice to add into a collection of income.
Sophia
I agree. Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
How are you working, girl?
Sophia
I got let go from a really shitty job. Like, honestly, a really shitty job. That.
Caleb Hammer
What was the job?
Sophia
I was a IT help desk person. And then also for like a little bit had a. Had a dual job thing.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, nobody likes help desking. That shit sucks. I've helped with some of that stuff before. It was horrible. I hated it.
Sophia
Unfortunately, it's the first step in what my degree actually is.
Caleb Hammer
So which is it?
Sophia
Yeah. Information systems with a minor in business administration.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Yeah. I mean, that's where you got to start, so you got to grind it out. But you got fired. What'd you get fired?
Sophia
What they told me was because I was late and I had too many doctor's appointments and that I wasn't well.
Caleb Hammer
Do you.
Sophia
I was. No.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Todd
Almost every week.
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
No, you don't.
Todd
Well, since the start of the year. Yes. I put it on my insurance and the start of the year.
Caleb Hammer
Those premiums must be crazy.
Todd
It did jump significantly. I think before her, I was paying six, seven bucks a month. And then when I added her at the start of the year, it jumped up to 45.
Sophia
Okay, but be for real. You did not pay attention to, like, the different insurance options you had, and you were paying out of your ass for, like, the stupidest, lowest insurance, where you had to pay the most upfront. Like, when you go. You had to pay the most there. Instead of paying. I co.
Caleb Hammer
Pays low monthly. Yeah.
Sophia
Okay, so our copay is now lower because we don't have to pay as much up front. And then insurance gets more taken out for him.
Todd
I went to the doctor, like, what's your deductible?
Sophia
The deductible is 3,500 per person and 7.
Caleb Hammer
And if you're going once a week, you're going to catch that pretty damn quick.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
What is she going once a week for?
Todd
It went all over the place. She signed us up for everything. She went to vision for what other ones.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, so you got health insurance for the first time, so yeah. Yeah, that's not bad.
Sophia
And then I.
Caleb Hammer
If she's just going for the first time in years, that's not a bad thing. I thought you meant she was going
Todd
every month for the doc. Her job doesn't see it that way.
Sophia
Yeah, well, of course not.
Caleb Hammer
That is fair.
Sophia
They told me multiple times you get
Caleb Hammer
approval by your manager.
Sophia
Yes, I did. I even have the signed paperwork of it. And then sometimes maybe you weren't good
Caleb Hammer
at help desking because it's very weird to just fire people for made up reasons. Unless they were trying to cut people
Sophia
to get severance so that. Okay. No, no, because it was like nine people in the company total. They didn't even have like workers comp. No. So the thing was, is what they told me was that. That I was late and that I wasn't good enough at my job for being there for a year. Which is completely fair.
Caleb Hammer
That might be fair. That's a good reason to fire someone for them.
Sophia
Yeah, but the actual reason, actually fire
Caleb Hammer
someone if they're not as good as they should be within a year because then they'll replace you with someone who will be as good as they should be within a year.
Sophia
Then maybe not get someone who's fresh out of college. And I very clearly told them I'm fresh out of college.
Caleb Hammer
What do you mean? Well, people from fresh out of college grind like crazy. What do you mean?
Sophia
I did grind. I have a 3.6.
Caleb Hammer
Clearly not according to that.
Sophia
From college.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, from college. No one gives a about your grade in college, dude. Literally.
Sophia
People do. Actually.
Todd
No.
Caleb Hammer
Actually, nobody does now because unfortunately in college the statistics were getting around it in terms of average GPAs are all beyond inflated now because they're just. Yes. Across the board. Because we're babying everyone. That just happened over the past 10 years. It's crazy.
Sophia
There's only like three people that got at least cum laude college, okay. TLU, Texas Lutheran University, which is pretty shit, but still. I worked my ass off for that. I tried actually really hard and got it.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, I still don't care about how you did in college. That's not the point. I'm talking about. I'm talking about people grind when they get out of school in their first job. I don't care if you grind it in college.
Sophia
I did grind. Like really? I'm not gonna go there. That was kind of bad. Anyway, doesn't matter. So I did. And the guy I had to share an office with, one specific dude who Was just awful at times, but.
Caleb Hammer
So everyone's bad but you. Okay, got it.
Sophia
Oh, no, no, no. Like there's things. Granted, I did rely on him a lot. Cause I was like, hey, I don't know how to do this. I don't have confidence in making sure.
Caleb Hammer
How long have you been fired? When were you fired?
Todd
March, two months ago.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Todd
Okay.
Caleb Hammer
You should be ending up with a job here. Pretty.
Sophia
Yeah, that's the mean.
Caleb Hammer
Hopefully.
Sophia
I mean, I've been putting in job applications like.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. But with a good resume with. They're actually targeted towards the place.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
And making it look like you want to be there for a while and not just get into the field of your choice. Okay. Why aren't you going to work in McDonald's to get supplemental income.
Sophia
You know what's crazy?
Caleb Hammer
Is it because let's.4400 in Austin is kind of rough.
Sophia
It is rough, but I.
Caleb Hammer
So you need to go make some money while you're looking for that better job.
Sophia
The other thing too is like I
Caleb Hammer
see the hiring signs everywhere.
Sophia
I know, but I wanna make sure I get a job that's in my field so I can continue my career. Right.
Caleb Hammer
Dude, just don't put it on your resume.
Sophia
The job. Well, yeah, there you go.
Caleb Hammer
It's your job. Resumes are basically just made up anyway at this point. It's just like you need to go make money right now. And you might be a supply risk for those places. Yes, I get it. But the thing is you do need to more money now.
Sophia
I also want to like make sure that I can get it.
Caleb Hammer
Want. I don't care about want.
Sophia
Well, I do.
Caleb Hammer
You need to make money. You want.
Sophia
I don't give a. I mean I have a way of making money coming in.
Caleb Hammer
What's that?
Todd
It's not enough money. Let's not do that.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, let's do it for a second. What is it?
Sophia
I clean his.
Todd
She's volunteered to do cleaning up. My family's some close families. And it's not really enough. It's created some friction there. Oh. Because she gets barely enough to pay her bills and even on that that's not enough. So I pay for her gas to
Sophia
do the job and my medical.
Caleb Hammer
Where do you apply? Indeed.
Sophia
LinkedIn USAjobs.gov because I want to have a government job and a remote job.
Caleb Hammer
So she's being hyper picky. Oh, remote job. So she's being beyond hyper picky. She's not going to just make it.
Sophia
I'm going to job fairs. I'm Doing indeed. I'm doing this job.
Caleb Hammer
Why you want to work in though? Eventually I will. But right now, go get any IT job, private sector, I don't give a. But the thing is. And then you aim to get hired, you don't get to. Right. Are you guys married?
Sophia
No.
Todd
No.
Caleb Hammer
So you supporting her and you're not even married? How long have we been dating?
Sophia
June will be six years.
Todd
Six years.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, are you gonna get married?
Sophia
That's a great question.
Todd
Yes. Yes, that's a great question. We have things in our relationship we're working on, things I've made very clear.
Caleb Hammer
What have you made clear?
Todd
My friend.
Caleb Hammer
My friend Todd.
Todd
So originally, when we started the relationship, I told her that I'm not going to get married to somebody who has a bunch of debt coming out. Coming out of school, she had a bunch of college debt. She bought a brand new car.
Caleb Hammer
College debt's a little less. Oh, okay.
Sophia
Well, I had to buy a car for one.
Caleb Hammer
Not a brand new car.
Sophia
No, I did not buy brand new. I bought used. Yeah, that's because he doesn't know he's talking about.
Todd
It's basically brand new.
Sophia
Just because it's fancy, doesn't. Brand new.
Todd
Okay, not 20, 26 or whatever, but it's like a 2060.
Caleb Hammer
That's a fair point though. The debt. I get that now.
Sophia
What else? Go ahead, say it.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, what?
Sophia
Say it. No balls. Do it.
Todd
That's crazy that you're going to make me say this. I told her that I have issues with her weight and that I want her to.
Caleb Hammer
Well, no shit. She can't ride you.
Sophia
That's not true.
Caleb Hammer
But with him surviving.
Sophia
Oh, okay, that's still not true because that's one of the things he likes. So. Yeah, thanks, that's cool.
Todd
But hey, this was clear boundaries that we set at the start that I've been working on her with and even with the dead.
Caleb Hammer
So six years ago you said, don't
Sophia
be fat six years ago.
Caleb Hammer
No, wait, I'm sorry, can I. May I just ask for a second, if you don't want to be with the fatty, why did you get with the fatty?
Sophia
No, it's a great question.
Todd
I enjoyed having the conversation with her and I've built an emotional connection with her and everybody seems to hate on me for saying that. So I'm just not trying to. Not you, but other people, if.
Caleb Hammer
No, I mean, I am hating you on it. But the thing is, if your entire thing is I'm not marrying you until you lose weight, why get with someone who Is definitely not losing weight.
Todd
Probably because I believe that people can change. And despite everybody telling me that people don't change.
Caleb Hammer
Someone who may not want to, like,
Sophia
this is like, I do want to.
Todd
She tells me she wants to, so I, I hold her to that.
Caleb Hammer
I will say this. Did the math before we filmed. You're class four obese. Never had class four obese before. That's an intense obesity. That's an intense. That's, that's, that's a mega obesity. A BMI of over 50. She's over 50 BMI. So if you want to lose weight, I don't think we need to be 50 BMI. Listen, I get it when you're.
Sophia
I'm losing weight, actually.
Caleb Hammer
Weren't you class five?
Sophia
I was. I'm pretty sure I was.
Caleb Hammer
How much have you lost?
Sophia
35 pounds.
Caleb Hammer
Hey, hey, I'm sorry, but I've seen my 600 pound life.
Sophia
I'm nowhere near that.
Caleb Hammer
35 pounds is water weight of a week's diet.
Sophia
No, no, girl, I'm actually keeping this off.
Caleb Hammer
BMI of 50, girl.
Sophia
It's also. You don't know my muscle mass.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, fine. 35 of how long?
Sophia
I started in January.
Caleb Hammer
Girl, that size doesn't just lose 35 pound. That's just like, that's. Listen, it would be. So 35 would be big for me and anyone else in this room. 35. I'm just, I'm sorry. It's like, do you have a target weight that she has to hit to marry her? Have you like laid it out or like, what is the criteria?
Todd
We talked, we set some targets, but at this point she disagreed with it. So I'm just.
Sophia
That's not true.
Caleb Hammer
What was the target?
Todd
So originally I had told her roughly around the range of like 170. Um, I'm planning on putting on myself far away. Yeah, so they're almost. She said she would never get that size, so I've kind of compromised with her and I'm just looking for improvement.
Sophia
I never. I did not say I would never get that size. My goal is 141.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, that's a good goal.
Sophia
I mean, I want to be 140 because we supposedly are planning on having kids later. Yeah, that's.
Caleb Hammer
Obesity is one of the. Makes it very difficult sometimes.
Sophia
So typically you gain about 20 to 22 pounds per child pregnancy. So if I have only two, then that puts me at like.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, that's weird. You're mapping out the.
Sophia
I am mapping it out.
Caleb Hammer
Listen, I am aligned with you. Like when you need to build up
Sophia

Caleb Hammer
Cut in the jokes for a second. I'm aligned with you. That's a good goal to have to lose weight because that's healthy and that's good. Okay. And I understand wanting your partner to lose weight because you want them to have energy, you want to have kids, you want to live a longer life because you're going to die within like five years maybe. Okay, more like 10. But even still, all of my family, you will find some rare instances, but it is very rare to see someone your size to 50.
Sophia
That. Yeah, that's fair.
Caleb Hammer
But I'm congratulating you. I am saying I agree with you. That is a good goal. But I have to have real talk as well. Someone at basically 300 pounds class 4 obese BMI of over 50, 35 pounds in 5 months at that size is practically water away. That's like, it's. That would be like losing five pounds for me. Which is. I can do that in a couple of weeks. Yes, it is.
Sophia
So okay. So part of the doctor's visits that I have and like why it's so much is I'm on the weight loss medication as well as working only 35 after the GLPs. Yeah. So that. Okay, hold on. So I started on these on the shots. The injectables lost a decent amount at first. The doctor was like, okay, you need to stay between this much of losing on the shots before. Like don't lose more than this because then if you do, then you won't actually keep it off. So I got super sick for a while. Cause of the shots. Cause she kept moving me up really fast. Changed to the tablets now. Cause when you. I was up at like level three of the injectables, the tablets that you have to start back at one. So now it's like paused. But the tablets, supposedly you lose more weight long term with than the shots.
Caleb Hammer
The shots are. Why not just diet?
Sophia
Because I actually don't.
Caleb Hammer
Because you can do all much.
Todd
Huh?
Caleb Hammer
No, shut the up.
Todd
You know he's gonna look at the finances and say we're eating a lot of fast food. Okay. We do eat a lot of fast food.
Caleb Hammer
Unless you have the most rare. Rare, rare, rare, rare, rare, Rare. Of which. Tell me what it is. Yeah, Don't. Girl, you just eat 300. 300 pounds 5 foot 2.
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
300 pounds, 5 foot 2? Yes. You're 280.
Sophia
Now that I eat all the time,
Caleb Hammer
you have to be eating minimum 3. 3500 calories daily.
Sophia
Nope.
Caleb Hammer
There's no way mathematically, this does not work. Biology does not work.
Sophia
Maybe whenever I was in college, I was eating more, but also I was on birth control, which really does give a lot of.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Every woman I've been with has on birth control. Just saying. Because I won't be with them without it sexually.
Sophia
Well, yeah, that was him, too, for a while.
Caleb Hammer
Just sexually. I mean, until I'm ready to have a kid.
Todd
Right. Yeah. No, that's. No shame in that. I don't mind that. I think it's probably just a lack
Caleb Hammer
of activity in her life. Yeah. You're sedentary. I mean, you tried to make the excuse that your doctor told you to not work out more than 50. He's on the.
Sophia
I did. Yeah. It's true. He did. Bullshit.
Caleb Hammer
He's on the same exact shot as you, Brandon. And he said that's a complete lie.
Sophia
I'm not on the shot anymore, though.
Caleb Hammer
And he told you to still. Only you can't work out more than 50 minutes a week.
Sophia
Yeah, which I thought was weird, too, but I don't listen to that. I think it's stupid to only do that.
Caleb Hammer
Is your doctor class 4 obese?
Sophia
No, she wanted me to actually just do the surgery and get that. And I was like, I'm not gonna do enough surgery when I can't.
Caleb Hammer
Well, you can do the surgery, too, but unless you, like, make sure.
Sophia
I don't want to. I've heard too many horror stories about doing the surgery first or in general.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, okay, okay. So.
Sophia
So instead, I'd rather do the tablets or shots or whatever to help support it and continue to work out.
Caleb Hammer
Just diet, actually. Diet. Maybe you don't eat a lot, but what you're eating is incredibly unhealthy. You know, I wouldn't be full all day after two slices of cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, but that would be my entire caloric amount for the day, so it's also.
Sophia
I don't eat that.
Caleb Hammer
That wasn't the point I was making you. It's clearly the kind. What is she eating? You're there.
Todd
Ish.
Caleb Hammer
Kind of chicken nuggets. You actually work chicken nuggets are fried?
Sophia
Uh, no.
Caleb Hammer
Well, no, chicken nuggets aren't fried. What are you talking about?
Sophia
They're protein nuggets for one. They're the real good chicken nuggets for one.
Caleb Hammer
What are they? Fried?
Sophia
They're in the air fryer. With no spray or anything? No, they're like no breading.
Todd
I'm pretty sure they're pre cooked. That you just heat up or something like that.
Caleb Hammer
All nuggets are protein nuggets. They're the same amount of chicken.
Sophia
They're the real good ones. So they're like the 20. Yeah. That's cool. They're the 20 grams of protein ones.
Todd
Okay.
Caleb Hammer
If you're a little bigger chicken.
Sophia
If you compare. No, it's. They put protein in the breading or something because if you compare them to them, they're not the same woman you're eating.
Caleb Hammer
Fried.
Sophia
They're not fried. They're baked.
Caleb Hammer
They're air fried. But it's still the breading and everything. It's still the breading. They are not healthy.
Sophia
Okay. And what he also did.
Caleb Hammer
She only eats nuggets.
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
This isn't supposed to be a conversation, but if that's the only way he's not marrying you.
Sophia
That's one of it.
Todd
So with the change of my job, she's been cooking more better meals for dinner. Like this week, for example, we've had sloppy joes and sketti's not healthy. I would say sketti is pretty healthy.
Caleb Hammer
Spaghetti. Spaghetti.
Todd
Yes. Okay. Spaghetti, Spaghetti. This is carbs, meats.
Sophia
Okay. What did we have with the spaghetti? And what did I primarily eat compared to the spaghetti? Huh?
Caleb Hammer
Also, what are you eating when you're not there? That's impossible. It's impossible. Is there something I do not know?
Sophia
Again, I.
Caleb Hammer
What's the brand of chicken nuggets you're eating Real good.
Sophia
That's literally the name of them. They're at atv, my favorite place.
Todd
And green bag.
Caleb Hammer
I know it is white bag.
Sophia
Well, for groceries at least they're orange and white.
Todd
Yeah, that's what I said. I corrected myself.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, okay. And how many do you eat? How many does she eat? I don't trust her.
Todd
She eats that for lunches when I'm at work, so I couldn't tell you.
Sophia
It's sick.
Caleb Hammer
No, you did not just eat. Just six.
Sophia
I do a salad with.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, have you seen a fat people salad?
Sophia
Okay.
Caleb Hammer
What dressing you putting on that shit?
Sophia
I make my own ranch. Oh, light mayo and mutopia. Milk so I can get protein in there as well.
Todd
I think her salads are pretty good. I don't really eat them, I don't eat salads, but they look pretty good for me, I'd say health wise at least.
Caleb Hammer
How many nugs are in each container?
Sophia
In each container?
Todd
What do you mean bag in a bag?
Sophia
I have no idea.
Caleb Hammer
Visualize it.
Sophia
I don't know. I mean I usually eat six per time I make it and I think I get like five or six servings out of it.
Caleb Hammer
That's not possible. She is not only eating 180 calories for lunch. That is impossible. That is, that's mathematically impossible.
Sophia
I told you I changed how I. How I've been eating a lot.
Caleb Hammer
Sound like every guest on my 600 pound life. You really do. They all like, I'm dieting, I'm doing, I'm doing. And then they don't lose weight. Okay, so that's one of your rules. Sounds like that rule is not going to be met.
Sophia
It sounds like it will be because I'm getting tired of the way that I look and I've told him that I don't want him to propose and I don't want to do get married.
Caleb Hammer
You probably have a food addiction of some kind, right? Like I do too. I mean, I get it.
Sophia
I. Yeah, I used to whenever I get really depressed, okay. So when I get really depressed, then I will eat.
Caleb Hammer
But usually it's spiraling like. Cause then you're fat, so you're depressed.
Sophia
When you're depressed is. I tend to like not eat a single thing for about seven days and then I'll binge for like three is what I used to do. Used to do, yeah. So used to do. Because with the beginning of this year and getting on his insurance, I started taking care of like no, I'm fat, I'm fat, I get it.
Caleb Hammer
But guess what? It's cause I calorically ate more than I burn on a daily basis. And I'll admit it, you can too.
Sophia
I used to. Not anymore. Whoa.
Todd
I'd say for the last month or two when she's been on the medicine, I notice at least she never finishes off.
Caleb Hammer
She's off. She's off medicine.
Sophia
She's not off the medicine.
Caleb Hammer
She told me I'm on the tablet.
Todd
Not the shot it's supposed to be.
Sophia
It's not the shot anymore because when I was on the shot I was like physically sick forever for days. And I lost ten pounds in less than two and a half weeks, I think. And the doctor for your size.
Caleb Hammer
That's not.
Sophia
She was like, that's not good. You can't be doing that. There's a lot. Okay, so I'm trying to get a new doctor in general. Cause I don't like this doctor.
Caleb Hammer
No, she's here.
Sophia
Yeah, there's a lot wrong, but yeah, but no, in terms of like depression and stuff. I recently was going to like a psychiatrist.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, good.
Sophia
Keep doing that and get it.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so again, according to your criteria, you'll never marry her. One, she doesn't have a job to pay off her debt. Two, and she won't. She has to work for a government and remote. I don't want to get up to when she makes her own ranch dressing. And that shit is like literally heart attack. Ranch dressing in general, like that's body drowning in student loans with massive interest rates. I see it on the show all the time. People get a loan to advance their careers only to be left with sky high interest rates and crazy minimums that leave their paycheck gutted. Maybe you've already gone to a normal lender to try to refinance your private student loans and they looked at your less than perfect credit score and hung up the phone. Maybe part of you even thought, yeah, that tracks. I guess I'm stuck. Stop it. You don't deserve to be buried in a high interest loan for the rest of your life because you hit a rough patch. The banks aren't rejecting you because you're a lost cause. They're rejecting you because you're not profitable enough for them at a manageable rate. That's where why Refi comes in. Why Refi works specifically with borrowers who can't get refinancing through traditional lenders. It's their whole.

How are you supposed to build credit if nobody will give you credit? Yeah, it's dumb. And it's exactly why today's sponsor Kickoff exists. Kickoff is a credit building platform designed for people starting from zero to trying to rebuild. No credit check, no interest and plans start super cheap. Here's how it works. Kickoff gives you a trade line, basically an account that gets reported to all three major credit bureaus. Then you small on time payments each month and you're building payment history and improving your credit utilization. And those are two of the biggest factors in your credit. In fact, users with credit under 600 grow an average of 86 points just by paying on time. So instead of guessing and hoping for the best, you're actually making real progress in the background. They've also got extra features like rent reporting with the premium plan so you can build your credit with the rent you already pay. So if your credit is holding you back from getting approved for anything, go to getkickoff.com Caleb to start building holding credit for as little as $1. That is 80 off the normal price. When you go to getkickoff.com caleb today, get k I k o f f.com Caleb must sign up via getkickoff.com caleb to activate offer. Offer applies to new kickoff customers first month only. Subject to approval Offer subject to change average first year credit score impact of plus 86 points between August 2024 and August 2025 for kickoff credit account users who started with a score below 600, who paid on time and who had no delinquencies or collections added to their credit profile during the period. Late payments may negatively impact your credit score. Individual results may vary. Let's get back to the podcast. Like, yeah, you think you might be eating things because there's a green in it, but when you're slathering your buckets of your own ranch dressing on it, you're kill.
Sophia
Dude, I don't slather it.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, shut the up.
Sophia
You can think that I do all the time. You don't.
Caleb Hammer
So she'll never do either of those things.
Todd
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Now what?
Todd
I don't know. I guess I have no spine and I think she's banking on me. Yeah, she broke it on that. That's crazy. Yes, I guess so. But I think she's probably banking on me. Going back on my. On my agreements here, as I've done with the other things, is that true?
Sophia
No, he thinks it is. But I mean, I've also gone back on a lot of stuff that I've done too.
Caleb Hammer
This is a crazy note. They both admitted to Lindsay that neither of them are each other's type. He's not your type either.
Sophia
Not original.
Caleb Hammer
You're not her type.
Todd
Her.
Caleb Hammer
She's not your type?
Todd
No, I'm just doing egotistical for her. She doesn't like that.
Caleb Hammer
Well, you have a huge head.
Sophia
Skinny for me.
Caleb Hammer
What size are you looking for?
Sophia
Oh, I don't know the name of it.
Todd
A lean 240 name.
Sophia
That's funny.
Todd
Mean. Two hundred and forty.
Sophia
No, there's like someone who probably like 170. 180.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. With what height? I mean, I guess it is.
Sophia
I mean, his height's fine. I don't care about that. He's. That's fine.
Caleb Hammer
So you're too egotistical. Okay, this is crazy. So why are you guys getting married? I know. Like. Okay, yes, I know emotional attract. I mean, that's the primary thing. But if we're not even physically attracted to each other, what are we gonna do?
Sophia
What?
Caleb Hammer
Like what?
Sophia
I mean, I'm attracted to him now. Not at first, but I had to learn to love him.
Caleb Hammer
And you.
Todd
It's a process. I. I'm working through it with her.
Sophia
Yeah.
Todd
I. I see the. The small improvements she makes and it. It's just like something that I try and stay motivated on with her about struggle.
Sophia
Never.
Caleb Hammer
Good for you, friend.
Todd
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Sophia
Friends peak male performance to be really low. But I don't know what he's changed now that it's definitely not just built different, I guess.
Todd
I don't know.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Are you still going to the doctor every week? Because I don't know how you get.
Sophia
It's not every week. I think what he's thinking of is it's therapies every week. Personal therapies every week.
Caleb Hammer
Well, therapy's good.
Todd
No, no, no, no, no. That was while she was working. It was every week. And now that she's done with it.
Sophia
Now it's a doctor every week.
Todd
Once a month.
Sophia
My glasses. The health care.
Caleb Hammer
Every week for five months, though.
Sophia
It wasn't. No, he's not good with time at all and understanding how that works.
Todd
Clearly there's some validity in what I said because she doesn't have a job anymore.
Caleb Hammer
True. Wow. That is fair.
Sophia
Wow. Cool.
Caleb Hammer
I'm sorry. That's not unfair. You got fired. The are you little freak. Okay, so what is going on now? What Is going on now? What the is going on? Well, I know he won't marry you.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
And that is very important.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
I forgot how this conversation even started. There's a reason I asked if you guys were married.
Todd
Because we combined finances.
Caleb Hammer
I think Swallow your before you talk in a podcast.
Sophia
We don't combine finances. He doesn't want to, which I agree with, but he doesn't want to combine finances until we're married. But I do live with him, and he does not make me pay anything. When I had a job, I only had to pay 300.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, well, the reality is. No, I remember it's because he works 4400 in Austin. It's on the. Yeah, that lower end. How the.
Sophia
How the.
Caleb Hammer
Are we supporting the household? How are we even able to make things? How are we even able to keep even now? This is the longest chew session I've ever witnessed.
Sophia
Take a drink even. Because I had money saved up from my job that I've been using to pay my bills and. Which aren't too bad. Cause for how long?
Caleb Hammer
You've been out for a couple months now.
Todd
I had like, her finances don't play a part in any of the way of staying alive.
Caleb Hammer
How were you able to keep us alive then?
Sophia
Yeah, credit card is what I use to pay my gas, medicine, and copays right now.
Todd
As for finances, I'd say I'm pretty good with money, and so that's why we're ahead on things. Currently, it's break even, but if she's not able to support herself, then we're going to be in the negative when I have to pay her bills, and
Sophia
I'm now at the point where I can't. Like, this month I have to ask for him to help me with, like, 60 bucks because I can't afford the rest.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, the $300 that you're supposed to give me, you were let go in March, but you haven't paid them since January. Yeah, so what the are you talking about? You're not helping. You're not contributing. You never contributed, even when you had last year. It's last year. Last year you got laid off in March. You weren't even contributing since before January.
Sophia
Yeah, because we had a trip in January that I was trying to recover from as well.
Caleb Hammer
Recover from? Why would you go on a trip if you can't give him the money you're supposed to give him? Well, that doesn't make any sense.
Sophia
Oh, okay. So I. Oh, last October, I think I let a friend borrow $600 from me that was in my savings that was meant to.
Caleb Hammer
Why would you do this?
Sophia
Because I have no backbone when it comes to my friends. And then in December I had another friend come and hang out with us and she ended up not paying me back for things and owed me money as well. So those. I was banking on them paying me back when they said they would and they never did. Well, they didn't pay me back.
Caleb Hammer
Always. Bentley, you guys have been together forever. We're going on six years. Since when you rescued her from the Puget Sound. Has she been like this for the last six years?
Todd
Pretty much, yeah. I kind of stopped paying attention to her finances.
Caleb Hammer

Sophia
in college, I paid my own bills in college. He didn't have to pay anything. I didn't. Well, I lived with him for one year.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Sophia
But otherwise I lived on my own that one year I asked him if he needed wanted me to pay for
Caleb Hammer
things and he said broke up while you were in college For a bit.
Sophia
We did, yes.
Caleb Hammer
Why'd you get back?
Sophia
Why did you get back?
Caleb Hammer
You're kind of the villain in the story, lady.
Sophia
I know, I know.
Caleb Hammer
You're leech off of him. You won't get a job. You are requiring a government remote job which I don't even think they really do much anymore anyway. They actually worth a little.
Sophia
But I think there's a lot actually. And it's not a note right off the bat.
Caleb Hammer
It's a lot then you would give it.
Sophia
It's a thing of like you have to. Government jobs take a while to get. You do realize that, right?
Caleb Hammer
How far into the interview processes are you?
Sophia
It takes up to three months before you even find out if you get an interview.
Caleb Hammer
Sometimes for everyone. For everything.
Sophia
Not for everyone, but in the government already it's a lot faster. But the ones who are public on the outside it takes work in the private sector.
Caleb Hammer
What's that a non government job?
Sophia
Oh, well, yeah. I mean, I was not.
Caleb Hammer
Yes. Do it again. If our entire excuse is we might not even know if we get an interview for three months, then we're not applying to those jobs. Now. That's not the jobs I have. I'm saying you shouldn't.
Sophia
Oh, no, no. Like on. Indeed. I have quite a few that I applied for. Okay. Well, I mean, actually.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, here it comes.
Sophia
Actually, what I don't know how to do. I've actually wanted to try to find other ones that I've like past ones I've done.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, yeah.
Sophia
And I don't know where to go to find.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, of course.
Sophia
So, I mean.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, yeah.
Todd
Mm.
Sophia
Stop. Well, You can look. I don't care. I applied for two this week alone, not including.
Caleb Hammer
It's the end of the week. It's the last day of the week. We are the final day of the week. And she applied.
Sophia
Please. Surprise.
Caleb Hammer
She applied for two. Okay.
Todd
Progress. Small steps.
Caleb Hammer
No, it. Oh, okay. So this is why she's just doing this forever. Because you are an enabling freak.
Todd
Yeah.
Sophia
Yeah. I don't know how you.
Todd
I can't. I can't really deny that. Unfortunately, I probably am an enabler.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah.
Todd
I mean, she's got my credit card on me, so I can't.
Caleb Hammer
I can't say that someone that you're attracted to, like what I feel like she's the one that's like. Would be more desperate to stay. She leeches off of you. You're financially sound. You're more her type than she is yours.
Todd
What.
Caleb Hammer
What is your.
Todd
I like her personality quite a bit. Sure.
Caleb Hammer
We can find a lot of personality out there.
Todd
I'm trying to make sure that I. I put forth the best effort I can in a relationship.
Caleb Hammer
I have nine applications on Indeed.
Sophia
It should be more than that.
Caleb Hammer
No, nine.
Sophia
But there's also government ones that you can't see and then there's.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, I don't give a. About those. When they take three months to get an interview.
Sophia
There's ones on Twitter don't give about.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. This is a private sector. You're applying for government. Once off.
Sophia
The AWC is not private sector.
Caleb Hammer
I said you're applying for nine in the private sector. The rest are for the government. The government.
Sophia
Well, those are the ones I'm doing on. Indeed. Other ones. I went to UFCU on the website and did it. Did usaa. I did a lot of banks because I'm like, banks will do good jobs. I could do bank telling.
Caleb Hammer
What are you Doing just apply on LinkedIn and indeed, like a normal person. She applied because a lot of them aren't. Don't support her anymore. Don't support her anymore. She applied to nine jobs. It's been two months. She applied to nine jobs. The other jobs that she's applying for require three months until you even know if you get an interview. Run from this. Run.
Todd
Run. Gotta get my credit card back, I guess.
Sophia
Wow, that's some shit.
Caleb Hammer
I don't think that's unfair. You spent a thousand hours going out to eat.
Sophia
Yeah, because he doesn't wanna.
Caleb Hammer
He makes 4400amonth to sustain your ass and you did a thousand dollars out to eat I a couple protein nuggets every day.
Sophia
I eat salad now. I said that was different. Like I used to do that. Well, okay.
Caleb Hammer
This is your most recent statement. You pathetic.
Sophia
That for one.
Caleb Hammer
I used to. And then it's the most recent statement.
Sophia
So for him.
Caleb Hammer
You told Colton, by the way in the pre interview screen that you weren't even looking for a job.
Sophia
I didn't ever said that.
Caleb Hammer
Yes you did.
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
Yes you did. You literally did. You can't say no. You literally said that.
Sophia
Maybe not that week because I've been
Caleb Hammer
nine applications, by the way, in two months.
Todd
I know. I bring up the conversation and she. She shoots it down. She doesn't like having the conversation.
Caleb Hammer
And so the herbivore salad eater. Thousand hours going out to eat last month.
Sophia
Cool.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, but the full nuggets for an entire meal, lady. Thousand hours going out to eat.
Sophia
Part of it's because whenever I was at work Monday through Friday and she has were.
Caleb Hammer
That was. No, we don't have those statements.
Sophia
Yeah, that was. That was a month.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, not all of them. Okay, here we go. Nope. This was the month after first one. So go yourself. Nope.
Sophia
Yes, that's April.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, it bleeds into both.
Sophia
Oh, okay. So March. I was told March. I did not keep back much things. And I have friends who have really expensive tastes. So that's one of the things I talked about. So we would do like things and then they would pay me back. The other thing too is when I was working. He does not like to pull things out of the deep freeze or something. He would forget to even though I'd ask him to freeze. Yeah, I have a deep freezer.
Todd
Okay.
Caleb Hammer
Don't get frozen food. Don't freeze food.
Sophia
Meat that I freeze, I bought.
Caleb Hammer
Don't just go to be. It's your favorite place in the world.
Sophia
I know it's a lot of walking in the house. I don't want to go into a store. Especially at a. I don't want to. I don't want.
Caleb Hammer
I don't give a. What you want to do. You go, we go. Dude, even.
Sophia
That's fine. Why do I have to if he's been home all day playing video games?
Caleb Hammer
Well, you're right. He should. But you should as well.
Sophia
Exactly.
Caleb Hammer
But wait, he has a job. How's he home all day playing video games whenever.
Sophia
So he used to do like, Thursday through Saturday and every other Wednesday. So wait, okay, so he's still working.
Caleb Hammer
I'm confused. You have to eat. He has days off.
Sophia
Well, yeah. So, like, we had an agreement that he would cook once a week at least because I was working.
Caleb Hammer
So we're talking one day, the six days. The other six days then go to heb.
Sophia
I would meal prep those days.
Caleb Hammer
I would need him meal prep. Thousand hours going out to eat.
Sophia
Well, I mean, he has a specific budget for us. And then when he'd be like, well,
Caleb Hammer
I don't want to pay thousand dollars.
Todd
No, no. It was 175.
Sophia
Is it really a thousand?
Caleb Hammer
Yes, woman.
Todd
It's a lot of red. Yes, that's a lot.
Sophia
That is a lot of red. I did not.
Todd
The budget was 175.
Sophia
How is it a thousand?
Caleb Hammer
Dude, the math is as simple as caloric math, yet you can't do either of them.
Sophia
What is it?
Caleb Hammer
Actually, no. I'll tell you as we go throughout. You don't get to see now. Spoilers.
Sophia
Oh, cool. That's lovely.
Caleb Hammer
Also, dude, working. You're unemployed. Let him play some video games here and there.
Sophia
Oh, I do now. I'm perfectly fine. I don't care. He. I mean, now that I haven't been.
Caleb Hammer
Why are you with her Leave before. I don't want to break you guys up, but, like, if she's like, what the.
Sophia
Before.
Caleb Hammer
I mean, she wants to be a
Sophia
trad wife all the time. Yeah, I am right now. And he's.
Caleb Hammer
You're unemployed. You're not a trad wife.
Sophia
Trad wives don't work.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Because they choose to, though. I guess you did choose to because you're telling Colton you don't want to work. But. And you haven't applied for jobs.
Sophia
But I have been applying.
Caleb Hammer
You're indeed proved that to be the case. Shut the up.
Sophia
It's not just indeed that I apply.
Caleb Hammer
On Indeed is the easiest place to apply. That's where you would apply to the scam. It's not a scam, but I Understand what you're talking about Some ghost jobs.
Sophia
There's a lot.
Caleb Hammer
Which, by the way, was much more of a thing two years ago than it is today.
Sophia
No, it's again the same. Maybe you should update yourself.
Caleb Hammer
Indeed, brother. We track this woman, you can play some video games. You can get someone with a personality. They're easy to find.
Sophia
Oh, I have a personality. I have quite a big personality.
Todd
Sometimes multiple.
Caleb Hammer
And you can find someone without lymphedema.
Todd
I'm not gonna lie. I don't know what that is. I'm not an idiot, but I don't know what that is.
Caleb Hammer
The growth growing on her leg.
Sophia
Yeah, that's not a thing on me at all.
Caleb Hammer
It will be.
Sophia
No, it won't, dude. Never.
Caleb Hammer
You can do so much, buddy.
Sophia
He also has quite a bit with me. Like, we've built a relationship together.
Caleb Hammer
I know.
Sophia
So why would he need to go anywhere else?
Caleb Hammer
Because you're a leech and a liar and lazy.
Sophia
Am I a liar? Because you looked at one app that only tracks a little bit of what I.
Caleb Hammer
Yes. And because you've taken back what you told Colton earlier. And also, for what it's worth, you told Lindsay you work full time separately. He told Lindsay you worked part time.
Sophia
I worked 35 to 40 hours.
Caleb Hammer
Why'd you tell Lindsay she worked part time?
Todd
Because a lot of the time she was not working full days, so. And I'm pretty sure they were like,
Sophia
what is your full days? Because I was 8 to 5 about his full days.
Caleb Hammer
Liar. If you weren't working.
Sophia
No, I'm talking about lying. I worked 8 to 5 and then no, I worked 9 to 5 and then it changed 8 to 5. And sometimes I just stayed till 6pm and I drove an hour one way.
Todd
I'm pretty sure we had a conversation where you said that your big boss didn't like you being full time and you weren't allowed to work full time hours. And I think you said you had to work 32 hours or less or you keep getting in trouble with your boss. No, and 32, I think, is technically part time.
Sophia
I was thinking you were required to take exactly one hour lunch and I wouldn't because there would be work to do, so I would take less.
Caleb Hammer
But you were required to.
Sophia
Yeah. And they were also required to have you at a specific time of arriving and why the person that I was with arrived late. I don't a give hours every day.
Caleb Hammer
I care about you.
Sophia
I started whenever he got onto me for not taking a full hour. I started doing exactly a Full hour.
Caleb Hammer
You're not cooking. You make him clean.
Sophia
You cook.
Caleb Hammer
You make him clean. How can you call yourself a tradw.
Sophia
I cook, I clean. There are.
Caleb Hammer
Why does she make you clean then?
Todd
Fairness. She's tired sometimes, so she feels like being unemployed. Hey, I don't. I don't know. It's exhausting sometimes. Maybe taking care of some dogs can be nine.
Caleb Hammer
Indeed. Applicants in two months. That is cool. Quite the winded activity news to me.
Todd
I. I was expecting more.
Caleb Hammer
So why is she exhausted in you having to clean after you pay the bills?
Todd
I. I couldn't tell you on that one. I don't know, but you're a little.
Caleb Hammer
So you don't give a. You're gonna stay regardless.
Todd
Apparently. Yeah, that's. That's pathetic.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, that's pathetic, dude.
Todd
Todd the cuck.
Caleb Hammer
I guess so. She actually enjoys it too, because she knows that she can do anything. You can do anything.
Sophia
No, not true at all.
Caleb Hammer
What?
Sophia
No, there's quite a bit that I have.
Caleb Hammer
And like, also a thousand hours. Going out to eat in a month is not cooking.
Sophia
No, not that time. No. Not whenever I was working.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, not the time. That is our most recent statements.
Sophia
Mm. Well, I mean, not all of it
Caleb Hammer
was when you were working, by the way. Some of it bleeds into the month after you got laid off. After. Not laid off. Fired. I should clarify. Cause you were bad at your job.
Sophia
I wasn't bad at my job at all.
Caleb Hammer
Kami, you got fired.
Sophia
Yeah. The company is also going under, and there was a lot of behind the scenes.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, shut up. I don't care. The company that fired me. I'm salty about every former employee ever. He told Lindsay, you work part time. You said full time. You told Colton you weren't looking for a job. And then the applications were nine. So it's like, what the Do I believe? Yes, you're a liar.
Sophia
Cool.
Caleb Hammer
I'll close that loop.
Sophia
I don't think I am graded as gray. That's fine.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, she doesn't think she is very good. Okay, that's wonderful. I mean, we just laid out relatively decent amount of proof, but you just
Sophia
don't care to only look at one app of something instead of multiple. Because you have to be right about everything.
Caleb Hammer
What are you talking about? App.
Sophia
Yes, indeed, is an app.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, yeah, the app. Are the other ones apps.
Sophia
They're websites.
Caleb Hammer
Can you pull up all your application history for me? Then I'll believe you. I will allow you to provide evidence if you'd like to. But I already told you, you shouldn't be doing government jobs anyway. If you have to wait three months just for a interview. Cuz you need to go make money now.
Sophia
I understand. And I.
Caleb Hammer
You understand you do nothing.
Sophia
I'm not making enough. But I am.
Caleb Hammer
How much do you make from this cleaning?
Sophia
80 a week. So however much that is, she's really
Caleb Hammer
making a dent in that. Thousand hours a month. Going out to eat.
Sophia
Yeah. That's fair.
Caleb Hammer
You have email confirmations, right? Of applying to these jobs. You could search job application, something like that. I think the reality in the end. Let's just be talking. Not that you are a housewife. It's not a housewife. It's not trash headwife. The reality is you're just a gold digger.
Sophia
I don't think I am, but cool.
Caleb Hammer
Any evidence to suggest otherwise?
Sophia
I was spending all this money, brother.
Caleb Hammer
You make him clean after he works a hard day.
Todd
And she said.
Caleb Hammer
Because he just said yes, you do, because you're exhausted sometimes. Exhausted.
Sophia
The only cleaning that he has to do is vacuum the house. That's it.
Caleb Hammer
Why does he have to vacuum the house? You should.
Sophia
You do nothing because there should be expectation that he does at least something. Because you were trad wife. Whenever we have kids, they're jobbing themselves and even trad wives.
Caleb Hammer
I relatively agree. But if you say you are the trad. If you want the true traditional trad it is you cook, you clean, you take care of kids. He brings home bacon. That's it, girl.
Sophia
Then maybe he should actually bring home bacon and not want to just.
Caleb Hammer
You're unemployed.
Sophia
Run.
Caleb Hammer
She will not catch you. Run.
Todd
Damn, that's crazy.
Caleb Hammer
Is it?
Todd
Yeah. I don't know. I. I mean yeah, it's. It's.
Caleb Hammer
Doctor said she can't work out for more than 50. 50 minutes a week.
Sophia
Listen to that. I do more.
Caleb Hammer
You can't even vacuum.
Sophia
I can. I choose not to. Actually.
Caleb Hammer
I have found an amazing trad partner.
Sophia
I have. I've been doing the yard work because he usually bans me from doing the yard work and I do it it now to be nice for him. And then what yard work? Like mowing and weed eating and that type of stuff.
Caleb Hammer
How much lawn is there?
Todd
It's a normal house, not a big lawn at all.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Sophia
Which is fine. It's just he doesn't want me doing it, which I don't understand why, but I'm perfectly fine with doing it.
Caleb Hammer
I don't understand why you can't just go get a temporary job while you're applying for the jobs that you'd prefer
Sophia
to have I really get a temporary job. It's just we've had the conversation and I thought we agreed, but apparently not after having another conversation with him is I don't want to go get a job in like, fast food or I don't.
Caleb Hammer
But why does what you want matter? You need the house, needs more money, and you have bad debt that you need to pay off for him to consider that one of your two items.
Sophia
The only thing I have is my car. And even then, I've been told by multiple.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, there is a lot of paperwork here. So there is more than just a car that we're about to look at in general.
Sophia
There shouldn't be. It should just be school loans, student loans, my car.
Caleb Hammer
We'll see.
Sophia
And then what I do is in
Caleb Hammer
this relationship, you guys have already broken up in the past and you literally get furious mad when he asks you to work out.
Sophia
I don't get furious mad when he asks me to work out.
Caleb Hammer
Hey, what do I have to know? She says that he gets mad. You said it. He gets mad when he asks you to work out with him. With him and you say no.
Sophia
Oh, because I think he's ridiculous in how he works out. And he's not.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, sorry. He gets mad mad. He gets mad when he asks you to work out with him and you say no.
Todd
That's an interpretation. I wouldn't say I get angry.
Caleb Hammer
I think you actually should, though. Not like, I'm not saying abusive, but I think it's okay to be upset that you're morbidly. Morbidly. Morbidly. Morbidly. Morbidly. Yeah, I think I hit class four obese girlfriend that you want to be your wife, that you want to live past 50. Not controversial on that, by the way. I would love you to live a long life. That's honestly why I really dive into obesity is because it's a financial harm and it's a energy harm. For income and my family live into
Sophia
their 80s and more.
Caleb Hammer
Oh my goodness. Where? Where they as fat as her?
Todd
No.
Caleb Hammer

They got a lot of commercials, but they're owned by Rocket Mortgage. Guess what they want to sell you in the end. Then there's the new guy on the block, Monarch.

Sophia
Okay.
Caleb Hammer
No one that makes it that long. It would be reasonable for you to be upset that she doesn't work out with you.
Sophia
I do now. A lot's changed. I do now.
Caleb Hammer
Over the course of the last week. No, since the interview where you said that like what? Shut the up.
Sophia
No, he still gets mad. Like if I don't want to work out with him, because I do.
Caleb Hammer
This was since Wednesday when you said it. She's changed since Wednesday. It's Saturday.
Sophia
Well, still no.
Caleb Hammer
I'm not gonna give you the W for that. You won't even go work a temps job. Pathetic. Pathetic. Both of you. You're evil. And you're a pussy.
Todd
Can't really deny that, unfortunately.
Caleb Hammer
No shit, cuz you're a pussy.
Todd
Yeah. Just take it from all angles.
Caleb Hammer
What? Yeah.
Sophia
Really?
Todd
Well, I'm letting this guy dog on me for letting you dog on me with my finances. So that's crazy. I can't really do much about that.
Sophia
Grow backbone.
Todd
Give me my credit card. We'll start with that.
Sophia
I guess it's not on me physically right now, but sure.
Caleb Hammer
Where is it?
Sophia
In my purse.
Caleb Hammer
Go.
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
That'll take you like 10 years to get Back you. This honestly wasn't a joke. I don't wanna. I don't wanna wait for you to have to go all the way over there and back.
Sophia
Sure.
Caleb Hammer
Now, the weird thing is, and I don't know if I fully agree with this in your relationship before we just move on to the finances about the weight thing, because that is a big part of this because the marriage relies on it. I agree. You should be healthier. I want to. I'm with you on that. I want to cheer for your health because what's the point of sacrificing everything that's going to be required to sacrifice if you're not going to live to see it? Right? So. Okay, I get that.
Sophia
But.
Caleb Hammer
Well, she says that you specifically, consistently ask her what her weight is for the day, and her answer depends on if you're addicted to her or not for the rest of the day. I don't know if we should be, like, horrible to someone.
Todd
Am I horrible for just asking for updates? I mean, we're six years in a relationship and I'm asking. And I'm just asking. What's going on?
Caleb Hammer
You heard my question. That's not what I asked. How you treat her depends on the answer for the day.
Todd
Okay. Maybe if I get frustrated with her answer, I'll be a little quiet. I wouldn't say you're not quiet.
Sophia
You're an asshole to me.
Caleb Hammer
What do you mean?
Sophia
Well, besides the fact that he does get quiet, it's. He gets an attitude. Anything that I try to do that I'm like, hey, do you want to hang out together? Do you want to play a video game and I paint or something? Because that's what we each like to do. He's like, I just don't want to talk to you right now. Just go. Just leave me be. Or I'll try to, like, cuddle up to him and ask for a kiss or something.

Sophia
Wow. Thanks. Anyway.
Caleb Hammer
Sorry, I can't.
Todd
He.
Sophia
Well, he prefers cuddles. Anyway. Anyway, I'll try to do that. And he's just like, he'd rather Be with the dogs instead.
Caleb Hammer
I'll shake your hand for that one.
Sophia
It's like, no matter what, he'd prefer to be with the dogs and his games. I'm like, that should not be first. It should wait always.
Caleb Hammer
No matter what.
Sophia
It's better now. But he used to be that way. It used to be video games and dogs. That's it.
Caleb Hammer
I understand that one. You're not pleasant.
Sophia
I mean, he says he likes my personality kind of abusive, but, like, you're
Caleb Hammer
financially abusive, manipulative, and just, like, not a good partner. So that part's fair. But I don't think you should determine how you treat her for the day. Did someone just use hand sanitizer? Mark, why? What are you doing back there? You just over 50 minutes in. 50 minutes into filming a podcast. What have you been touching over the past 50 minutes that require. You're sitting there watching the audio. Marcus, what are you. Come over here. Mark, what the are you doing, ladies and gentlemen? You know him. You love him. I didn't think I'd be on for this. Why the. It's been 50 minutes. What have you touched in the last 40 that require hand sanitizer at 50 minutes? Well, I got kind of bored, so I was, like, touching my face, but I had a quesadilla for lunch, so I was like, oh, no. All that grease when the quesadillas getting on my hands now you can probably smell it.
Sophia
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Caleb Hammer
Thank you, Mark. That was a very strong hand sanitizer. Okay, you're fat. What's our financial score? 0 to 10 for the household.
Sophia
Oh, for the household. Ooh. I bring it down. He brings it up.
Todd
Six minimum.
Sophia
Five, maybe four and a half.
Caleb Hammer
Class four.
Sophia
Wow. Don't you.
Caleb Hammer
I'm so sorry. No, I'm not. Because you're a bad person. But, like. Okay. And you're pathetic as well. Oh, okay. I got permission. Yeah, I'll take it. If you want your Hammer Financial score, get it for free. Kayla, Hammer dot com. You know where to go. It is free. Just takes a few minutes. You can see where you stand in the world of finances where you're doing poorly, where you're doing great. Take that assessment. They did. You can too. And if you don't wanna. What the are you talking about?
Sophia
No, he just looked at me.
Caleb Hammer
If you don't wanna be like a guess who ends up on the show, make sure you use the dollar Wise budgeting app. Take it. Sign up for the annual version. If you like it after the trial. Most people do because you save almost 50% and then you get my 30 day budget, me by me, mailed directly to you. It's awesome. And the digital version of the cookbook, by the way, check that out. Here you go. No chance in the world this. But.
Sophia
Okay, no, but I'll take it.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. So I just don't, unfortunately, don't remember. Oh, yeah, no, no, no, I do remember. Okay. Yeah, no, I still want an answer. I don't think you should be treating so like, I'm treating her, like right now, but that's. That's the show and it's fair and she's a piece of shit and so are you, kind of in a different way. But just like you ask for a number once a day and then you, you. How you treat her depends on the numbers. That's a big.
Todd
It's not like a schedule. I don't wake up. I say, all right, it's 6:00am Give me your weight. That's a little overboard. It's just an occasional checkup. And I wouldn't say it's daily. Maybe once you.
Caleb Hammer
What makes you so angry and so bad?
Todd
Just no progress, I'd say. Or minimal progress considering we're six years in and she knows the limbs get with that. I think we've already established because I'm a. So I'm working through things.
Caleb Hammer
True. Were you desperate at the time?
Todd
No, I wouldn't say I'm desperate now. No, I'm not desperate.
Caleb Hammer
Are you?
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
Because if he treats you bad and
Sophia
he's like, I have other people that want me to break up with him to be with him, but I refuse to do it.
Caleb Hammer
I know. Because men are insane, no matter the women. Every woman has been gassed up to like supreme level in 2026.
Sophia
Like, oh, you don't need to lose weight. And I'm like, are you stupid?
Caleb Hammer
It's incredible.
Sophia
Are you fucking stupid?
Caleb Hammer
Women among us and the most unattractive can have any man they want. And then for a man, I'm sorry, that's a little red pill. But there's relative the truth. You have to be in like the top one.
Sophia
Red pill. I think you mean blue pill. No, red pill. Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
You have to be in like the top 10% just to get her.
Sophia
But clearly there's people out there that would prefer me.
Caleb Hammer
Unfortunately, that's the thing I'm saying that's crazy.
Sophia
And part of the reason why, one of the many reasons why I want to stay with him is he actually challenges me and wants me to lose weight instead of Being happy.
Todd
He challenges you.
Caleb Hammer
What do you mean? How much do you weigh today?
Sophia
Oh, I'm not saying that.
Caleb Hammer
Huh? No, that's just what he asked you. That's his challenge.
Sophia
Oh, no.
Caleb Hammer
Well, you're not saying that. I mean, I have it. It was like 283. It was like your last weigh in. Oh, it's gone up. Oh, shit. Maybe she is class five.
Sophia
No, I'm not.
Caleb Hammer
Will you step on the scale if I give it to you?
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Sophia
I don't know if I want to
Caleb Hammer
put it through that much trauma.
Sophia
That's fine, but I'm not doing that.
Caleb Hammer
Pourquoi?
Sophia
Sign your damn business?
Caleb Hammer
Ish.
Sophia
I mean, it's the show, but I don't care. That's not happening.
Caleb Hammer
No, that's fine. I'm not gonna force you to do anything. But, like, I mean, why, why, why were we given away if it can't be confirmed? And this is such an important part of the conversation, apparently.
Sophia
Oh, I don't know why. I did give a weight.
Caleb Hammer
No, we were given a weight. Yeah, I don't know why GBT5 is. What?
Sophia
I don't know why.
Caleb Hammer
Was told to the producers.
Sophia
Yeah, I don't know why I didn't.
Caleb Hammer
But you can't confirm the. Wait, you told us. Maybe your phone's not going to confirm.
Sophia
Yes, it can.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, I think the scale would confirm it.
Sophia
I'm not stepping on it, so why.
Caleb Hammer
Why show me the thing on the phone but on Sky? I'm not gonna firstly get on scale.
Sophia
But I don't understand. The phone's the date and everything for the last weigh in. Yeah, this is.
Caleb Hammer
Huh.
Sophia
This is April 7th. Was the.
Caleb Hammer
That you put in though?
Sophia
No, no, no. April 7th was 300. So I have a scale that whenever you step on it and you let it run its whole course and you have the app turned on, it'll send all of your body metrics over to it.
Caleb Hammer
So she's gone up. How does that make you feel?
Sophia
No, that's April 7th.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. On Wednesday you said 285.
Sophia
Yes. Do your math, do your dates. We're not in April.
Caleb Hammer
I know, but you don't have a weigh in since then. You didn't weigh yourself since then.
Sophia
Yes, I have. Not on this app. Oh, my God. I just don't. I don't do the app. Like, I get on the scale, but I don't have my phone on me to, like, track the app. I need to. I'm really bad at doing that.
Caleb Hammer
Dude. The thing is, you know, for what it's worth. I mean, same thing with people who just want to spend bad. If you actually want to be incredibly unhealthy. And why not? Like, I actually don't care. Live that life. I'll support you. It's fine. It sucks for our medical system, healthcare system, and the price we all have to pay into it and, you know, a lot of other things, but either way, it's just, like, do it. That's fine. But, like, it's different. If you actually care about it, then I'm gonna bully you.
Sophia
You know, I do actually care about it.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. I hope so.
Sophia
I don't want my kids to go through, like, the bullying that I went through as a kid.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, no, I mean, I don't want you to get bullied either. The only reason we do it on the show is because we have permission. And it's. It's fun for the show, but, like,
Sophia
I don't want them to have, like, health issues that I'm possibly having right now.
Caleb Hammer
Possibly. No, you are.
Sophia
No, I'm not. No, no. The test confirmed that I don't.
Caleb Hammer
What test?
Sophia
Blood test.
Caleb Hammer
You tell me. Don't got the diabetes?
Sophia
Nope.
Caleb Hammer
Will you take a blood pressure test or not?
Sophia
Know. Yeah. I've also been shaking my leg, so probably should wait, like, five minutes.
Caleb Hammer
What?
Sophia
Yeah, I've heard a thing. Like, anytime I go to the doctor, I get really nervous, and I'll, like, shake a lot. And they're like, you have to wait five minutes of being completely still for the blood pressure.
Caleb Hammer
Pull it out.
Sophia
That's fine.
Caleb Hammer
I want her to be around for a while.
Todd
Right. I do, too. That's why we have these conversations and work on these things.
Caleb Hammer
Here's Marcus. Freshly clean it.
Sophia
I don't know how to do it.
Caleb Hammer
You'd like to administer on your woman?
Sophia
Do you know how to do it?
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. You wrap it around that arm, if it fits. And you. Can you just sit like this through
Todd
all the way up, I think.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, yeah, Right there's good. And just make it super tight. Not super tight, but, you know, like, firm.
Sophia
It's still there.
Todd
I don't know. Is that super tight on the other side?
Caleb Hammer
Doesn't need to be super tight.
Sophia
You're good. That's fine.
Caleb Hammer
And click that button. You just sit still, and we'll all be quiet. That's impossible.
Sophia
No way. That's not on right. It's not on right.
Caleb Hammer
I put it on.
Sophia
You can do it. I don't know how to do it.
Caleb Hammer
What are we.
Sophia
It's not on Right.
Caleb Hammer
That's impossible. It did not snap. Thanks. I'm sorry. Your arm is very thick. Okay. Just sit like this.
Sophia
There. What? Just hit the power button.
Todd
How. How do I.
Caleb Hammer
Right. How do I.
Sophia
There you go. Yep. Your mom's a nurse.
Caleb Hammer
You don't work. No, I do, I do. Leave it them.
Sophia
I'm just holding in place.
Caleb Hammer
It's crazy. Are you too advanced for an at home blood pressure chart?
Sophia
I just never needed one. My blood pressure is fine.
Caleb Hammer
I hope so.
Sophia
They always tell me it's fine or low.
Caleb Hammer
You're 25, so you have time on your side button.
Sophia
155 over 76. Okay.
Caleb Hammer
155 is high blood pressure hypertension, stage 2 and.
Sophia
What did I just tell you? That I've been shaking my leg. It matters.
Caleb Hammer
All the way up to 155 from 120.
Sophia
Probably.
Caleb Hammer
Probably.
Sophia
I think the first time I got my blood pressure was like 180.
Caleb Hammer
I'm not a medical expert so I'm not diagnosing anything. But what I do recommend is like go get your blood pressure checked.
Sophia
I already do. Every time I go to the doctor and I have to go on the third. So they do it.
Caleb Hammer
There we go. So that's good.
Sophia
Every time that I go, they're like, yeah, it's in the normal range to low. Do I need to pull up my medical charts?
Caleb Hammer
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I. I do care about your health for what's worth. Yeah, it was a fun bit, but it's like. It is 155 is kind of high.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Worth. So I'm hoping that's, you know, just a moment, a moment of nerves for the show long.
Sophia
There's been a lot like they wait like 15 minutes and then come back and they'll take it and it's fine
Caleb Hammer
if it's like crazy. Anxiety, caffeine, you know, walking all this, no wrestlers. That could be like 10 to 20.
Sophia
I mean, I am.
Caleb Hammer
So it would still be elevated Right. At that point, you'd still be in that stage one. Okay, cool. Just saying. Okay. I do care about your health. I know we're meme and we're having fun, but like it's just like. Yeah, I do agree. Okay, so you have no job. 4400 is all that comes in. That's not good. What's the USAA Car Checking or credit? Credit.
Todd
All of the USAA is mine.
Sophia
Okay. You're the one.
Caleb Hammer
Is this the one that she has?
Todd
Yeah, it fits the credit card.
Caleb Hammer
What's wrong with You. So it's not just car loan and shit like this. You've racked up his credit card. That is a green interest. That is. Did you purchase?
Sophia
Well, okay, so depending on the month two, it might not be much of me.
Caleb Hammer
March to April. In between March and April. Hybrid.
Sophia
Did I have it in March?
Caleb Hammer
It was.
Sophia
It's still a mix of both of us for those two.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, you spent more than you put towards it while interest is accruing.
Sophia
Yeah, I didn't put anything towards it. I don't put anything towards it.
Caleb Hammer
No, no. You have your job. You got laid off your trad wife. By that she means applying for a jobs. Okay, so this takes 15 years to pay off. Will you be here? I hope so.
Sophia
I mean, yeah, yeah, I'll be here.
Caleb Hammer
Well, okay. Changes are required. Okay, but. So this takes 15 years to pay off. Minimum payments only without any purchases and. Oh, she is purchasing because she has no nowhere else to purchase. You are sugar daddying her.
Todd
That's.
Caleb Hammer
No, I mean you are.
Todd
Apparently. I got a lot of nicknames sugar daddies up there.
Caleb Hammer
No, no, you are like she's spending your money. She provides nothing to the household.
Sophia
I provide quite a bit to the household.
Caleb Hammer
You make him vacuum.
Sophia
So what? That's one thing out of multiple.
Caleb Hammer
What are you providing really?
Sophia
I cook his meals. I make one day a week.
Caleb Hammer
I thought. No, no, wait a thousand hours. Going out to eat. Where's the cooking?
Sophia
I do cook. It's just one thing's expensive, but. Oh, come on.
Caleb Hammer
Groceries are so much cheaper than going out to eat. Groceries are pretty high too, statistically in every way whatsoever. Because the actual things that you buy last multiple. Me? Well, yeah, I'm saying we check it via HEB. Your favorite place. 300 bucks per person can be a great three meals a day plus dessert, snack, drinks per month. Yes. Cool.
Sophia
We spend less than that.
Caleb Hammer
Cause you spend a thousand going out to eat. Cause you don't cook. You just proved your point. If you spend less than that, then you're not cooking very much. I do think not very much because you spend less than what's required for the three meals.
Sophia
When I was working, I didn't cook as much.
Caleb Hammer
Girl, if you're spending less than that now, then you are not cooking enough.
Sophia
I do.
Caleb Hammer
Oh me man. Can't get through with this one. Her skin is thick.
Sophia
Hey, when you're this big, you have to have thick skin.
Caleb Hammer
Could also just lose weight, but yeah, working on it. Kind of didn't you gain again. So what is your normal Monthly payment spent. I don't know, like 50 bucks. 100 bucks?
Sophia
Yeah. How much is it?
Caleb Hammer
Because it's not on the statement. Because you put money towards it and then you spent more. I'll put it as a. No, let's put it as 50.
Sophia
I'd say 50 is more accurate.
Caleb Hammer
How the would you know?
Sophia
Because we budget together.
Todd
What?
Caleb Hammer
You budget together?
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
You spend more than you make.
Sophia
Well, so we have a budgeting thing that I put together.
Todd
Not so much budgeting.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, she put together. But what the does she mean?
Sophia
Actually, he put it together.
Todd
We look at our expenses for the last month. That's. Yeah. Really all it is. We're not like sitting down budgets.
Caleb Hammer
The minimum payment. That's not even.
Sophia
Because it's 50 to 60 is the average I see every single month for his credit card. So I assume that that's the monthly minimum because he typically. Oh.
Caleb Hammer
And then we purchase more than we put towards it for. I'm sorry. It is the ultimate fat woman destination. It really is. It really is.
Sophia
Would you say Disney World?
Caleb Hammer
No, but that would be too. But no, you don't go there on a daily basis. That'd be crazy.
Sophia
What is?
Caleb Hammer
You would not be able to afford that. Sonic.
Sophia
Oh, yeah.
Caleb Hammer
We have two dogs stopping at Sonic.
Sophia
I would get a drink and then we would get pup cups too. That's why they're typically smaller charges.
Caleb Hammer
It's always for like the sugary pops with the candy in it and shit.
Sophia
No, I usually get crazy.
Caleb Hammer
They get crazy. You get crazy. Coke. Full calorie Coke.
Sophia
Yeah, woman. That's what I would do is like my Sonic. Sonic.
Caleb Hammer
Sonic. Sonic again. Game pass. That one's probably you. Sonic. Girl.
Sophia
Girl.
Caleb Hammer
Sonic again. Microsoft. Amazon.

Sophia
Yeah, I did.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, you did. I know you. I see every time I'm there.
Sophia
Copy and morning. If that's morning, I don't know the time.
Caleb Hammer
It doesn't say.
Sophia
That's probably both.
Caleb Hammer
14.4% interest rate. It wasn't. It's like
Todd
can't put that on me.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, I didn't even catch this. You literally said that's your cheat for the day. You can't have a cheat for the day and lose weight. There's no such thing as a cheat for the day. Drink a full calorie.
Sophia
Coca Cola is the only thing I drink besides water.
Caleb Hammer
What is that, 500 calories? 600 calories?
Sophia
Is it 700 count.
Caleb Hammer
What size?
Sophia
Like a medium?
Caleb Hammer
Well, a medium.
Sophia
A Sonic with no ice. Because I hate their ice. Oh, their ice has like stuff in it.
Caleb Hammer
Coke with no ice from.
Sophia
Is it really that much girl.
Caleb Hammer
And now she's confused why she's not losing any weight even though she eats her salad.
Sophia
Yes. Really?
Caleb Hammer
Dude, Pop is one of the worst caloric things you can ask have. That's why you go yeah. Dr. Pepper. Zero or gamer subs. That's zero calorie too.
Sophia
If that's a zero sugar. Yeah. I hate diet flavored things. They have a really.
Caleb Hammer
Hey, then you're on water, dude.
Sophia
But zero sugar. I do like the flavor of that. It's just the we.
Caleb Hammer
It's at least 300 calories.
Sophia
Okay, that's insane. That's something I definitely should not be doing.
Caleb Hammer
Yes. Speaking of gamer subs, another really good zero calorie item is a. A course careers certification of which I will get you because in the audience they have used that to convert into six figure jobs. And you need a job.
Sophia
I do.
Caleb Hammer
They even have it in it, so.
Sophia
Oh, okay. Well that's great.
Caleb Hammer
You'll get it for free. Do you deserve it? No, but. Okay. And this just. This isn't even calculating your spending, by the way. So this was just taken for an additional extra month just for funsies.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Of what it looked like when you had a job. Which is even worse because I have your spending when you didn't have a job. This is what it looks like when you did have a job. Bullshit Mexican Cinemark Chick Fil A ihop. And we now bullshit Cinemark Chick Fil A. Bullshit Amazon Cinemark ATM Madraw Venmo. EBay. EBay. Wendy's squirt quilt. Squirt Quilt.
Sophia
Oh, that's Shirt Quilt. Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Is that fat People shirts?
Sophia
No, no. What is that called?
Caleb Hammer
People need shirts too.
Sophia
It's a quilt made out of old T shirts that I did for Sonic.
Caleb Hammer
Cash app. Cash App. Southern Scoops Chick Fil A Cash App. Domino's Chick Fil A Bath and Body Works. Cracker Barrel. This is just an example of what it's like when she has a job. She spends all of her money. Why even be with her? Because when she spends a job, it'll be even worse. Venmo. BJ's Restaurant. Avery Kyle. Avery Kyle. The Grill. Cash app. Bullshit. Cash app. Bullshit. Bullshit. Chick Fil A Coffee. Brahms. Bullshit. Bullshit. Pluckers. Pluckers is the worst calories you could ever have, by the way. Delicious, though. Claire's good. Good morning. Like restaurant coffee or something? I don't know. Bullshit. Sonic. Chick Fil A. Chick Fil A Ice house.
Sophia
Yeah, that makes sense. On why it's a thousand now. It's a fine trip to my family.
Caleb Hammer
That wasn't calculated in your monthly spending.
Sophia
That was the other one.
Caleb Hammer
That was taken just for fun, to show you have a job.
Sophia
Oh, so I wasn't a thousand. Oh, shit.
Caleb Hammer
Money owed a grandpa. Whose grandpa?
Sophia
Mine.
Caleb Hammer
Park Wa.
Sophia
My old car. I needed 2,000 for. And then for, like, books for my school. Because it was agreed before I went to college that he would pay for them. But now I really want to pay him back.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, so he's not asking for it. What about the 2000? Because you should at least pay the 2000.
Sophia
He wants the 2000. I want to do the 4000. Because.
Caleb Hammer
Do the 2000. Stop it. If he agreed to pay for it, it doesn't matter. That's a gift at that point. But the 2000. Yes, you should pay back 100%. 100%. And what's weird, especially with the grandpa, is I know that your families do not support this relationship.
Sophia
He does.
Caleb Hammer
He does. But the families do not.
Sophia
Yeah, they don't.
Caleb Hammer
What do we. Why? What's going on?
Sophia
My family thinks that he's too verbally abusive. And the he doing. Hold on.
Caleb Hammer
I've been anti you right now, but if he's verbally abusive, I'm gonna the shit out of him.
Todd
Not verbally abusive. First off. No.
Sophia
She just controlling.
Caleb Hammer
If you or your child spent years growing up on social media and experienced serious mental health struggles, you should hear this. Recently, a jury ordered Meta and YouTube to pay millions for their role in designing and promoting addictive platforms. They knew their apps could contribute to anxiety, depression, and body image issues, but did not share those risks while prioritizing profits. The recent historic verdict underscores the consequences of those decisions. Now Morgan. And Morgan is stepping up to hold these platforms accountable for the harm they caused. Click the link in my bio to take a short quiz. You may be entitled to a potential recovery of over $1,000. That's kind of stupid. I'll be honest. But what's not is actually getting a checking account that gives you free money. Free money. We like free money. You can get up to 200 in bone is cash right now. When you sign up for the checking account that I use lose chime also it makes your savings grow at a 3.5 APY interest rate. Guys. You can watch financial audit and get free money at the same time. Who would have thought? That's incredible. Check it out. Link in the description below. Really?
Todd
Oh my controlling if she's got to
Caleb Hammer
hear from your side, tell me, tell me all this stuff.
Sophia
They don't like the fact that he wanted me to like one stop going to college for a little bit but then would turn around and help and like be like oh, you should finish it and then that's verbally abusive. Well, no, there's more. It's like what's the verbal abuse? They really just once again don't agree with the weight thing and think that he should be supportive of trying to help.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, that's not verbal abuse.
Sophia
Well, yeah, there's. Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
I don't know. That's him wanting his partner to be healthy or else why would he be with his partner?
Sophia
That's not a bad video games and he'd rather play video games instead of spend time with me.
Caleb Hammer
That's not verbal abuse either.
Sophia
That's his main yells at me, okay, there you go.
Caleb Hammer
Can you tell me.
Sophia
Oh, I mean he'd yell at me and be like, look, I'm playing my game. Leave me alone. And I'd be like, I'm just trying to spend time with you or something.
Caleb Hammer
He'd be like, why are you alienated? That's not good.
Todd
Sometimes I'd get frustrated. I'd be playing games and I just want to break not have to think turn off my mind.
Caleb Hammer
I agree. But don't yell at or say, hey, I just need some time, some personal
Todd
space, something to work on. Absolutely.
Caleb Hammer
I have been so he just explodes and yells at you with that that's not good. That's not healthy.
Sophia
Sometimes.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, that's not good.
Sophia
Laud when it also comes with his with his family.
Todd
A specific part her family's opinion on me is from the beginning of the relationship, not currently.
Caleb Hammer
The first time they broke up it was because he was doing too much roughhousing with her and she didn't and didn't stop when she said stop. Wait, what the is that?
Sophia
I guess he didn't pay attention whenever I was like, it's too much like you need to chill out and everything. And he just kept going.
Todd
She'd tell me to stop, and I would stop.
Sophia
No, you did not. There were three times that you did not.
Caleb Hammer
Not doing. Doing what?
Sophia
Well, I'm.
Todd
Well, we probably don't want to talk about it on the air. We'd rather.
Caleb Hammer
I think we do. Oh, you would rather avoid it?
Todd
I'd rather avoid it. Nothing. Nothing. Like.
Caleb Hammer
Well, so a sexual. Not like WWE said stop and you didn't.
Todd
Just sexual stuff. And I just.
Caleb Hammer
And you didn't. Three times.
Sophia
There was. There was one time that you did hit me that. That wasn't fun. That was in, like, the first six months of us being together.
Todd
Not hitting. It's spanking, first off. No, let's be very clear. It's spanking. Not hitting where it was.
Sophia
Not spanking where I want to. I think it was, like. I don't want to say, because it makes him look really bad. Okay, fine. You did slap me one time way too hard, like, on the face. Cause we were playing and playing. We were playing. I got too aggressive, and I told him he needed to calm down and everything, and he didn't realize, I guess.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Sophia
And I think I. I think I might have accidentally poked you in the butt or something that you hate. And then he, like, slapped me.
Caleb Hammer
So, like, actually, like, mean anguish.
Sophia
It hurt pretty bad, and it was not okay with me, so I stepped back for quite a bit. And it was stuff that I've talked to my therapist about.
Todd
Fair.
Caleb Hammer
Fair.
Sophia
And then the other times you've gotten too aggressive, you have left marks on me before, like, on my arms and stuff, because you've, like, grabbed too tight. And again, this was all, like, the first two years of us being together. Things have massively changed since we broke up. Whenever I studied abroad and then we came back, things really did change because it was part of why we took a while.
Caleb Hammer
That was, like, right when you graduated high school, so you were, like, 22. And she was 18.
Sophia
I was 19. I was 19.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. No, no, no. She's right. It doesn't make you look good, but it's gotten better.
Sophia
Yeah, he hasn't done that in a while at all. And he listens more. Cause we more.
Caleb Hammer
Or does he stop when you say stop?
Sophia
Oh, no, he does stop. He does stop.
Caleb Hammer
Why wouldn't you stop when she says stop?
Todd
I would say I don't even do it in the first place anymore.
Sophia
Yeah, he.
Caleb Hammer
More's the point. I'm asking. Okay, so now I don't realize.
Todd
I don't even remember that song.
Caleb Hammer
So we prefer Physical abuse over verbal.
Todd
That's crazy thing to say.
Caleb Hammer
Well, not really, actually from what does have. Okay, so your parents don't support him. I think that's relatively fair.
Sophia
Now his doesn't support me either for. Go ahead.
Caleb Hammer
May as well hear the opposite side of it.
Todd
Well, as you know, I've had sexual issues. Complications with her generally. Well. Where are you going?
Caleb Hammer
When she said stop. Yes.
Todd
No, no, no, no. Not like that. Like sexual attraction is what I'm referring to towards the beginning of the relationship and she didn't get sex enough.
Caleb Hammer
Why are you dating someone you weren't attracted to? I really don't understand this. Like you. Your friends with someone who has a good personality that you don't want continue.
Todd
Anyway, so she put something in my drink one time to get me hard and it was for whatever reason thought it was a good idea to tell somebody in my family about this conversation.
Sophia
Date you kind of.
Todd
And. And so that word got around in my. No, I don't.
Caleb Hammer
You were just. You got sick and you're just walking around fucking.
Sophia
Oh, no, didn't work. And we both got sick from it.
Caleb Hammer
How'd you get sick from it?
Sophia
Cause I took it too. We both took it.
Caleb Hammer
What did you do?
Sophia
Well, why is this medication something you can buy at a store?
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. What was that though, if it wasn't a boner pill? To do what though, if it wasn't a boner pill? Because you wouldn't take a boner pill.
Sophia
No, it's the other thing to get you excited. It wasn't a boner pill. It was to like, activate your, like, intimacy. Whatever things. I don't know. Your next chapter in healthcare starts at

Todd

Caleb Hammer
Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Okay. I don't. I don't think. I don't think normal. But you both of you just keep each other like it's kind of crazy. She said no. You kept going and you dropping them drugs. That's a little.
Sophia
Yeah. I don't.
Caleb Hammer
So somehow she told your family that she. You and now your family's like don't.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Date the.
Todd
Yeah. So she found.
Caleb Hammer
I think that's fair.
Todd
Yeah. Yeah. So just found out and so now it's just tough. Tough relationship. I guess. Just working through it, I guess.
Caleb Hammer
Hey, maybe better.
Sophia
I mean, I'd say we've done very
Todd
well on not doing that. So thank you.
Sophia
Okay.
Todd
Big steps.
Caleb Hammer
We'll put that as 2000 for the grandpa.
Sophia
Okay, great. Circle round.

Okay.
Todd
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
So Department of Education. Okay. So that's why a lot of these are going to stack up the multiple.
Sophia
Yeah, I think it's like 42,000.
Caleb Hammer
Glad to hear you guys are in couples therapy now, by the way. Yes, very glad to hear that because. Oh, my. Yeah, you should be.
Sophia
He doesn't think so.
Caleb Hammer
Wait, actually, I do want to go back to the. For a second, if I may.
Sophia
Great. Okay.
Caleb Hammer
If you were not attracted to her, why were you her?
Sophia
No, that wasn't the thing.
Caleb Hammer
Well, he kept going when he said
Sophia
no, it wasn't sexual. It was. We were play fighting and he would like.
Caleb Hammer
Why do you guys play fighting?
Sophia
Because I like to. And he used.
Caleb Hammer
No offense. Going up again. That's a game you're not gonna win.
Sophia
Actually, he does so.
Caleb Hammer
He does. Oh, you just gotta get like allow gravity to work.
Sophia
No, he's actually a lot stronger than he looks.
Caleb Hammer
No.
Sophia
Okay. Whatever you think.
Caleb Hammer
I mean, I just have to be honest. Just have to be honest. This is what was sent in the producer group chat currently for your play fighting.
Sophia
Oh, lovely.
Caleb Hammer
Now, Lindsay, who wants to volunteer?
Sophia
My bets are on Brandon.
Caleb Hammer
My bets are on me.
Sophia
God. Oh, I know. He just said.
Caleb Hammer
That's true. Mark is. He's going to have to hand sanitize after that one. That was a dirty drop. That was a dirty drop. Okay. Oh, student loans. That's right. So are you on a minimum payment?
Sophia
Oh, okay. So I don't pay anything to my student loans because I made so little that they said that what I have to do is.
Caleb Hammer
You guys aren't married.
Sophia
Zero.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so 33. 38,157 for student loans? Yeah.
Sophia
Really?
Caleb Hammer
Yeah.
Sophia
That's a lot less than it should be.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, then there's something you didn't send us.
Sophia
There should be like nine. I think.
Caleb Hammer
Nine more.
Sophia
No, nine total.
Caleb Hammer
Nine what?
Sophia
Student loans. Student loan. Like lines from whatever it is.
Caleb Hammer
Credit, karma, or whatever it was from your credit report that you sent.
Sophia
Yeah. Then that's.
Caleb Hammer
We added it up to 38.
Sophia
No, I thought it was like 34.
Caleb Hammer
Unless it was more if you didn't send the screenshot.
Sophia
Or 45. I mean.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, it's not the biggest difference in the world. You were making it sound like you thought it was double.
Sophia
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Caleb Hammer
It's called the Apple car is paid off every month, so I'm not sure who. Whose Apple card is it?
Todd
Mine. I'm usually pretty good about pay.
Caleb Hammer
You don't try. Why do you say you try? You don't vacuum.
Sophia
Well, I have one credit card.
Caleb Hammer
Discord Nitro, Pet Care, Uber Trip and a Patreon membership.
Sophia
Okay.
Caleb Hammer
Rocketmore. We own a house.
Todd
I do. Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Well, congratulations.
Todd
Thank you. Thank you.
Caleb Hammer
Doesn't mean you're not abusive, but you do own it.
Sophia
Should be more than 30. Whatever.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, yeah. It's $60,000 to search student loans.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
I don't know. I think screenshots may have been wrong.
Sophia
It's on 60,000 student loans. 15, 500 of it is my car total. So whatever. 60 minus whatever that is. So maybe.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, 45.
Sophia
There we go. So I was right about 45.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Okay. Very good house. Well done. 7% interest. Not the biggest fan of.
Sophia
But.
Caleb Hammer
But it was the time. I get it. You didn't need to buy a house at the time. Okay, you must be on one of the extensive exer of Austin, but we won't mention which one because no way you're getting a house in Austin for this price. But. $2,218,483.71. Trust me, everyone would live in Austin if that's what it costs.
Sophia
That's a lot less than I thought it was.
Todd
200. Make extra payments.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, extra payments. Your mortgage instead of your credit card or your.
Todd
I guess so.
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
You're the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life.
Todd
Hey.
Caleb Hammer
$2,286.51 minimum.
Todd
Why?
Caleb Hammer
Why would you do that? I don't see extra paid here, but why would you do that?
Todd
I just want that balance down as fast as possible so I can go.
Caleb Hammer
It's a mortgage.
Todd
I want to refinance for a lower interest rate.
Caleb Hammer
Well, that part's fine. But wait till interest rates are lower. Then you can do that. Take the appreciation of the house.
Sophia
House.
Todd
Exactly. So the more I pay.
Caleb Hammer
Not necessarily though. Yes. If the. If the house doesn't gain any value, just ride the gain of the house. I agree with the refinance at some point. I don't know. Inflation isn't great right now. War that up.
Todd
But.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. So that's our debt. No, it's. We have a Mazda.
Sophia
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
And an 8.14 interest rate.
Sophia
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah.
Sophia
That's pretty bad.
Caleb Hammer
What the are you doing, man?
Sophia
That's actually the lowest I could get for the time that I needed a car.
Caleb Hammer
Lowest you could get? Yeah. You didn't.
Sophia
Well, I did try to co sign with my aunt who has like excellent, excellent credit. They're tier.
Caleb Hammer
Well, good thing she didn't.
Sophia
It literally would drop at $20 a month.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. And also you her. Cuz you're not the. You're the least trustworthy person I can imagine.
Sophia
To co sign on my first car where I was
Caleb Hammer
$15,865.80 at an 8.14 interest rate. Your minimum is 322.63.
Sophia
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. What do you think it's worth? Probably 15 on it.
Sophia
25 or so.
Caleb Hammer
20. But you have an equity position in the car.
Sophia
I do. I'm not selling my car.
Caleb Hammer
You don't necessarily need to because it's relatively close to that 10. But actually maybe you should because you don't have a job. But then actually you want to qualify for a loan to get a $10,000 card. So you're right. You shouldn't now. But it should be something you consider in. In the future.
Sophia
No, that's going to be my car that I have and I have kids and stuff.
Todd
Wow.
Sophia
Cuz it's a really damn good car.
Caleb Hammer
It's fine.
Sophia
No, it's a great car.
Caleb Hammer
It's okay.
Sophia
It is the special car for the year that it is. It's a great car.
Caleb Hammer
It's okay. It's a car. And other cars that all of a sudden kill babies.
Sophia
I didn't say that.
Caleb Hammer
What is this obsession? Listen, it's not the worst, but you need to have a job to have this. I would like to have this if you have a job. But you told Colton you're not trying to get a job. You Applied to nine jobs and you're trying to be a trad wife. You. This is not in the budget.
Sophia
I have applied to more jobs than
Caleb Hammer
that, and you guys fight over. Oh, listen. And maybe if you paid it off, but you guys fight over paying it off. And you should. At a 9% interest rate, you should.
Sophia
I was. I'm told by the person who helps with my finances in my life.
Caleb Hammer
And who's that?
Sophia
My aunt.
Caleb Hammer
Your aunt? She said don't pay off a 9% interest rate card.
Sophia
Yeah, because.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, then she is a.
Sophia
Like, you want to have more years of credit so that it.
Caleb Hammer
Guys, you already own a house. It doesn't matter.
Sophia
He owns a house. I am not on it.
Caleb Hammer
But you are trying to get married, so it doesn't matter anyway. The only thing you're trying to get your credit better for is a house. You're not getting a new house together, are we? Is that in the plan? That doesn't matter. Pay off the car. You're losing 9% to it yearly.
Sophia
All right, well, once I have a job, then I guess I'll start making doubles.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, that'll never happen. So what are we even talking about? I agree with him. You should pay that off. Your aunt's a dumbass. She thinks credit is everything in the world. You'll have. Okay, credit. Okay, who's capital One? Check in.
Sophia
Me.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, guys, all I eat every day is three to four meatballs and my ranch. Okay, so Caleb comes and says, well, no, no, no, you can eat healthy. But hey, if I ate a few slices of cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory, that would be my entire caloric amount for the day. Then she says, well, good thing I don't do that. Unfortunately, actually, yes, she does. First thing on here is Cheesecake Factory.
Todd
Huh?
Caleb Hammer
That bit. Hat Creek Burger audible. Can't get up to go pick up the book, can we? I'm sorry.
Sophia
Actually, I have.
Caleb Hammer
Actually, no, I'm not. Because then he went to Krispy Kreme, so I'm not that sorry. Come on. This is like the worst calories you could ever eat. Delicious. Horrible. You can't tell me you're dieting and have Krispy Kreme, Hat Creek Burger, Cheesecake Factory within two days of each other.
Sophia
Cheesecake was for my. You can't.
Caleb Hammer
It doesn't matter.
Sophia
You can't tell me it's not me eating it. It.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. You didn't have a bite?
Sophia
No.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, you went to Krispy Kreme. $20.
Sophia
That was for our family.

Todd

Caleb Hammer
You can't eat the total $50.
Todd
Oh, no. If it's $50, that's both of us. But if it's anybody fine at $20, that's just me.
Caleb Hammer
Huh?
Sophia
You're not going to have any $20.
Caleb Hammer
And it's good.
Sophia
That was before I stopped.
Caleb Hammer
But it ain't the thing. Dutch bro. Sugar in a cup. Slim Chickens again. Mardel.
Sophia
Dutch Bros. I get zero sugar stuff. I don't.
Caleb Hammer
You get what?
Sophia
The zero sugar things and the protein. Milk stuff that they add.
Caleb Hammer
You know, the protein shit is never low calories. You get protein. You're the average fat person that thinks if they get something protein, it immediately makes it healthy. Protein is not low calorie.
Sophia
Yeah, I'm realizing that now.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, you're figuring it out at the middle of this episode? End of this episode.
Sophia
Oh, no.
Caleb Hammer
So USAA 2000. You started with $27. Dude. Southwest Sonic. I have to ask the question.

Todd
Yeah, well, I'm okay.

Todd
Yeah, that's just a spice.
Caleb Hammer
5000 is havens move it to chime. But that's good because you're not bad. And you're a bad person because you beat your wife. But besides that. Well, you're right. I don't want to lie. She's not your wife.
Todd
Past tense at least.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, I did said beat. Okay, not beating.
Todd
Emphasis.
Caleb Hammer
That's all that shows that relationships desperate enough can survive anything. Okay, 81 in our fidelity. Gonna assume that one's you.
Sophia
Nope.
Todd
All the fidelities are mine.
Sophia
I don't have anything like that.
Caleb Hammer
Well, then I'm expecting something a little juicier. There it is. 5,400. That's good. Okay, definitely behind for your age. Unless there is more. 24,000. That's good. And for your income, you're getting somewhere. But unfortunately she holds you down when we calculate the retirement score. I can budget your money, but I can't budget your calories. And you're just gonna have to track this. Have you ever actually tracked your calories from how long on a daily basis you put into like my week? Do that and you'll actually learn what is the reality. Because we know for a fact. Just you stopping and getting those Cokes, folks. And you just consume more than you think.
Sophia
Yeah, and that's just the fact I think I consume more in like liquid than I do physical.
Caleb Hammer
Probably eating still counts. Doesn't matter. Yeah, if you don't move much. 372.63 is your debt. Minimum payments outside of the mortgage. Mortgage is 2,286. 51. Gas, electric, utilities. All that combined.
Sophia
How much gas is in car gas or is in house Gas houses around it too.
Todd
About. About 1,000 for all utilities. Yeah, sorry. I count groceries in there, so we'd say like 700.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, your groceries are going to be higher because you're going out to eat less. But groceries, yeah. Necessary food, 600 bucks. Meal plan, meal prep. That's based off of HB, your favorite place in the world. Gas of Vroom Vroom.

This episode features one of the most volatile and combative couples yet on Financial Audit: Todd (29) and Sophia (25), an unmarried couple living in Austin, Texas with entangled finances, relationship struggles, and poor financial habits. Host Caleb Hammer explores their dysfunctional dynamic, Sophia's unemployment and selectivity with job searching, Todd's support of her (financially and otherwise), issues of mutual incompatibility, reliance on fast food, obesity, and a troubling history that includes both financial and emotional/physical conflict.
The conversation reveals stark honesty, relentless roasting, and disturbing admissions about their relationship, blending dark humor with real financial assessment. Hammer probes both finances and relationship issues, exposing toxic enabling, lack of boundaries, and extreme codependence.

Through relentless questioning, roast humor, and real-time budget analysis, Caleb systematically exposes the couple’s dysfunction, both financially and relationally. The episode serves as a textbook case of codependency, enabler-abuser dynamics, and lack of financial self-awareness. Sophia’s chronic unemployment, selectivity, and disregard for household contribution combine with Todd’s passivity and enabling attitude to form a recipe for mutual misery, both fiscal and emotional.
Hammer presses both until they admit the truth: their household is insolvent, their relationship is unhealthy, and both need radical action. The message is clear—financial stability and healthy relationships both require real boundaries, honest self-assessment, and much more effort than either Todd or Sophia are currently offering.
Host's Final Word: If you find yourself in a situation like Todd and Sophia’s, stop rationalizing, stop enabling, and start making changes—financially, emotionally, and relationally.
