Dax
My name is Dax. I'm 39 years old from Oklahoma City. And we are about to do financial.
Caleb Hammer
Audit we're about to do. And now we are. We're here. Financial Audit. Thanks for coming down. What do you do up there for a living?
Dax
I am a truck driver.
Caleb Hammer
Cool. Long haul? Short haul all over. We're hauling everywhere. Okay. Long haul can be some money. How are we doing? Okay, what's your. What's your income?
Dax
4700Amonth.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Is that nat or are we talking gross?
Dax
That's after taxes.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, 4700amonth. We're talking $56,400 a year now. Oklahoma City, though, as far as major cities go, not really known for being the more expensive one.
Dax
No, relatively cheap.
Caleb Hammer
So how are we living? Especially if you're just on. Okay. How often are you on the road versus having to stay at your apartment or whatever?
Dax
I'm on the road all the time.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so you probably don't need anything too crazy.
Dax
I put your home maybe once a month.
Caleb Hammer
Really?
Dax
Okay. Depends.
Caleb Hammer
So how we doing?
Dax
Could be better.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dax
This is a struggle. You know, I had a partner that I was with.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah.
Dax
And I was basically paying all the bills with no help.
Caleb Hammer
Sugar daddy?
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Wait.
Dax
Actually, I guess you could say that.
Jake
Really?
Caleb Hammer
Oh, she.
Dax
He. How old is he? You're 32, little twink? Not really. Little dickums.
Caleb Hammer
See, that's just what I picture. What do you call him?
Dax
Dickens.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, Bears.
Dax
Bears. He wasn't a bear, but, you know.
Caleb Hammer
Sure. Okay, cool.
Dax
A twunk.
Caleb Hammer
Well, wait. Why? Did sugar baby leave sugar daddy or did sugar daddy leave sugar baby cut up the check first?
Dax
I did.
Caleb Hammer
You cut up the check? Why'd you cut up the check?
Dax
No help financially.
Caleb Hammer
Wasn't performing sugar baby responsibilities, just helping me with bills. Oh, okay. So, you know, interesting. So what expectations were there going into that relationship then?
Dax
There was supposed to be help.
Caleb Hammer
How Much help.
Dax
Half of everything.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, so it was intended to be a real relationship?
Dax
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, okay. So. Okay. Misread that. That's okay. How long were you guys together? What are you saying? Because of him? Because of Little. Not Bear, Chub, not Twink. All finances are.
Dax
They're. They are.
Caleb Hammer
But you said because of him.
Dax
I did calculate what I had for rent for the past, like, five or six years. Been about $70,000.
Caleb Hammer
How can we even hold down a relationship, regardless of sugar baby, sugar daddy situation or real fake whatever, if we're on the road?
Dax
Like, my stupidity of not ending it and hoping it would get better.
Caleb Hammer
But you were the one that ended it, so, like, years later. And plus, when you're on the road, you got a lot of, like, lot lizards. Well, I guess lot snakes. In your case.
Dax
I've never seen a lot lizard or a lot snake, really. Actually, stay back. I have been approached once, but it took about six years.
Caleb Hammer
Well, that's my retirement plan, so you'll catch me out there, but. Okay, so again, you're blaming this on that relationship? I want to confirm.
Dax
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dax
Because how I was paying everything. Literally what came in went right back out for bills.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Cheaper area. I get it. Bills. Mandatory bills are what sugar baby wanted.
Dax
Mandatory bills.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, what was the mandatory bill?
Dax
Rent, car payments. Insurance, cell phone, double car payments.
Caleb Hammer
You're paying his car payment?
Dax
No, just one car payment.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Why is the rent situation different now that you guys aren't together? So it's not really sounding like it's his fault, because he would. Whether or not someone lives there, you're still paying the rent, right?
Dax
But I was paying the rent. He wasn't paying anything.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, and now he still isn't. Cause he's not there. And it sounds like the rent situation hasn't changed. No. Do you understand what I'm saying? Regardless if he was there or not, we're still dealing with the same thing. So it's like, was it really because of him or because you're living in. You have a place that you just simply can't afford.
Dax
Still.
Caleb Hammer
When did you guys break up?
Dax
Probably six or seven months ago.
Caleb Hammer
Well, there you go. You could have had a different place by now, so.
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
What's your rent?
Dax
1380.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Jake
Well, no.
Caleb Hammer
What's the major issue here? I'm not saying that's like, oh, wow, pennies. But, you know, we're talking 30%. You're kind of 30% of net. We're where you would want to be for rent. I'm confused. Even if he's not shipping and then you're not paying for his car because there is no car payment for you to pay for of his. I don't know. Get it? What's the. What's the immediate deflection and blame onto Not Twink, not Chub.
Dax
There I was. My car, my car payment. So he was adding all the miles. I was paying all the maintenance.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, but you still have it regardless, right? Did you buy it before him?
Dax
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Sounds like an immediate deflection. Not the best way to get a conversation started on financial audit. I'll be honest. Go on. How was it his fault, the ex.
Dax
Uh, but not helping with bills.
Caleb Hammer
What bills? We already established the bills. You would have had and did have.
Dax
And still have, you know, credit cards. I would be swiping.
Caleb Hammer
Where was him swiping?
Dax
No, he never had access.
Jake
What the. What are we talking about, guy? Mr. Dax, what are we on?
Caleb Hammer
Hello. Your cute dogs in the studio. Hopefully the top down. Mike just picked up the pups. Very cute, but what the are you talking about? You just said he wasn't swiping, so why would he. It doesn't make sense. These are all your bills?
Dax
No, but he wanted to go back to school, so I was like, you can go back to school. Don't worry about the bills. Your bills. Well, our bills at the time, you aren't married.
Caleb Hammer
It was your bills, your lease. You had that.
Dax
Well, he was on your car payment.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, that part's a little different, but your car payment, your credit cards. Why would he be paying for your credit cards if he wasn't spending on your credit cards?
Dax
He'd be paying for my credit cards.
Caleb Hammer
I know, but you brought that up as an example.
Dax
Right.
Caleb Hammer
Go on. He wanted to go to school, so.
Dax
I said, you know, how long is was like six months or so and hoping that that would improve his income.
Caleb Hammer
Going to school.
Dax
Yeah, because he couldn't find anything.
Caleb Hammer
He wanted to find out. That's not what improves income. It's graduating and getting into a career field, not just attending. And six months isn't usually a unless. Did he go to a poot camp? Did he go to.
Dax
No, it was a trade school. I guess it was a trade school, but it was at a community college.
Caleb Hammer
For what?
Dax
Aesthetics.
Caleb Hammer
What income do you make off that? Well, I guess I'm not auditing him, but that sounds a little silly. I'll be honest. But again, I really. You kicked out this conversation with blaming the dude?
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Still haven't exactly seen how.
Dax
Seen how would always send Money. Also, if he didn't have money, I'd send money through.
Caleb Hammer
So that's the sugar daddy situation.
Dax
Yeah. Only guys can't get to work or need food. The other dog needs food.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, well, I don't. It doesn't sound like if we equate this entire situation to just him. That still doesn't seem right. I'll be honest. It sounds like self. I don't know, it just sounds like deflection extreme. Okay, what's going on? What's going on, man? What are we talking about?
Dax
Well, I guess just the whole debt situation sucks.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, there's a lot.
Dax
I've calculated. What'd you calculate in total with everything? 87,000.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Okay. You have a big push to get out of debt. Like, what? What are we trying to do? Okay, good, because that gives us a reason to actually move forward.
Dax
What is it just the way the economy is.
Caleb Hammer
And that's your push to get out of debt? I'm confused. What are you talking about? Talking about automation, replacement, like autonomous drivers for long haul.
Dax
Like, what are you talking about, the debt situation? Seems like there's a financial collapse, like, every eight to 10 years. And even with truck drivers, there's still.
Caleb Hammer
Being economic collapse across the board, you know? Or are you just talking long haul?
Dax
No, just in general. Every eight to ten years.
Caleb Hammer
There's not a. Oh, every eight to ten years. Like a recession. Right. But not like a great recession type of collapse anything.
Dax
It's still there.
Caleb Hammer
Well, I mean, we've more than recovered. Like, that's not. It's not great. It's very hard for a lot of people. What did unemployment go up to, like 10%, 12%? I mean, it was very hard. A lot of people lost their homes. Obviously it was the mortgage crisis.
Dax
Losing their homes and jobs.
Caleb Hammer
That'll always happen. Huh.
Dax
Even as truck drivers.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, but what is this big fear.
Dax
You have, specifically debt in general.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dax
And possibly being laid off.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. That is scary. Why do you have debt then?
Dax
I like to get out of the debt to be able to have the weight loss surgery.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, how much is that gonna cost?
Dax
I've calculated if you go down to Mexico, it's about four grand, five grand.
Caleb Hammer
Wait, but we should be able to budget that within our income. How long have you been trying to do this?
Dax
Not long. Maybe three months or so.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dax
I mean, I thought about the whole issue of, you know, what the recovery is. What?
Caleb Hammer
Yes. How are you gonna do long haul with that?
Dax
You're not. I'm taking time off.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. You have Paid time off?
Dax
No, I would have to save for it also.
Caleb Hammer
How much do you have stacked up?
Dax
Nothing.
Caleb Hammer
How. I mean, do you take time off all the time or do you not get it?
Dax
I mean, I get it when I want it.
Caleb Hammer
Then where'd it go?
Dax
Swiping. Because that's like, huh, swiping on my debit card, credit cards.
Caleb Hammer
That's taking time off.
Dax
I mean, when I go home, I spend about $400 or so.
Caleb Hammer
I'm asking where your paid time off accrued has gone.
Dax
I don't have paid time off.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, I thought you said you do. Well, you know, you told me you had to accrue some.
Dax
No, I. You mean money I can take. Yeah, I can take time off.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so you're talking about getting a stockpile to pay for bills. Will you take the. Okay. And that's a few thousand. That's a couple months, right, for surgery?
Dax
Surgery can be. You can probably be back within maybe three weeks. But I want to take longer off just to be sure.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, because that sounds like that's a big push. Plus you're on a pretty strict diet after that too, which I know diet often gets complicated when on the road.
Dax
Yes, extremely difficult.
Caleb Hammer
Then why the are you possibly in this much debt? How long have you accumulated this much debt?
Dax
Years. How long? Four years, five years, probably.
Jake
The fucker.
Caleb Hammer
What were you doing before that then?
Dax
Same thing.
Caleb Hammer
What do you mean? So you've been accruing it since like 18? All this is since 18?
Dax
No. Cause I filed bankruptcy before.
Caleb Hammer
You've been through bankruptcy? Then why the are we here?
Dax
Because I don't want to get back into it.
Caleb Hammer
Get back into what?
Dax
I filed bankruptcy again.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dax
Because this is actually easier than it was the last time. The first time I filed was only about 20,000 for the bankruptcy that was discharged.
Caleb Hammer
Why'd you go through bankruptcy last time?
Dax
It was a piece of cake though. I know you disagree with it.
Caleb Hammer
Disagree with what?
Dax
Bankruptcy.
Caleb Hammer
What are you talking about?
Dax
Don't you always tell people, oh, it's hard or it's easy to file bankruptcy?
Caleb Hammer
Those are completely opposite. What do I say according to you? Is it easy or hard? Because you just said both. They're very different.
Dax
You disagree with it, right?
Caleb Hammer
Disagree with what?
Dax
Bankruptcy? Yes.
Caleb Hammer
I would like you to tell me what my opinion is. Since you're going to try to start something.
Dax
You think it's difficult and it takes too long.
Caleb Hammer
I've mentioned through the process that it can be stressful. I'm not usually using that as a determining factor. And it's definitely on your credit for a long time. Sure, yeah, but. But no, just like debt consolidation, I say it can be a good tool, but not if you don't change your behavior. And guess what? An example if I've ever seen one. You didn't change your behavior. You went through bankruptcy. Now you're right back where you were before bankruptcy. So it did absolutely nothing.
Dax
Correct.
Caleb Hammer
How quickly did you start yourself after bankruptcy?
Dax
After the bankruptcy was discharged, probably three years after.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dax
Why'd you start really into debt? Didn't even start till the relationship.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, but I don't really think that's him. Come on. Unless you were just going crazy.
Dax
Possible.
Caleb Hammer
For him, spoiling, I don't know. But again, you signed the rent, you got on the rent together. But even still, if you were just renting with yourself, this is not a crazy rent. Regardless, it's 29% of your net income. You had the car payment before. You still have all these things. That was not him. That is not him.
Dax
I think it is so.
Caleb Hammer
But you're not able to give me a reason how you couldn't give me even what I thought about bankruptcy. Can you give me a reason somehow how it's his fault.
Dax
What?
Caleb Hammer
The bankruptcy, the finances that you're in post bankruptcy. You said it started with him, ended with him, and it's still his fault. Even though I just brought up points on how it's not. So if you're gonna say that, defend it, back it up. If you are walking around, if you are sitting, if you're going to bed at night saying all this is because of him, you haven't come up with a logical backing behind that?
Dax
No, just I guess the whole swipe thing, just not.
Caleb Hammer
So you're not willing to take accountability ever. You went through bankruptcy. Instead of actually dealing with this changing your behavior, you now you're just blaming all this on him. Yeah, right. So sending your ex money, you said you did that. How often, how much?
Dax
What? The amount varied. $20, $100, $200.
Caleb Hammer
How frequently? What are we talking? Monthly average? Because also that is you monthly average. That is you choosing to do it.
Dax
Still though it is. I couldn't give you an exact amount. It's, I don't know, like per month probably, I don't know, a thousand.
Jake
Why?
Dax
He was working but wasn't working. He didn't have enough hours.
Caleb Hammer
He, he, he he he, he, he. Okay, what was his job?
Dax
He was, I believe he was working at the airport at that point.
Caleb Hammer
May I do something?
Dax
Sure.
Caleb Hammer
What's your relationship with him?
Dax
There is no more relationship.
Caleb Hammer
Can I call him on my phone? Will he agree with your story?
Dax
Probably not. And he probably won't answer. Cause he's at work.
Caleb Hammer
I can triple call.
Dax
He won't answer. I mean, you can try, but eventually.
Caleb Hammer
Well, we tried to call the ex, but maybe we'll try to call again in the post show. Remember in our timeline, this is live, so. Okay, so not a single ounce of accountability to your name. I get it, I get it. I mean, it says you calculated how much rent you've paid over the past five years and you're like $70,000. And it's just you paying rent, dude. I mean, I'm just paying half of it.
Dax
I wouldn't be as much as 70,000. It'd be half.
Caleb Hammer
I know, but still, it's a pretty normal rent for your income is all I'm saying. It's not the end of the world. If you were just budgeting, if you ever budgeted. Do you budget?
Dax
I do budget.
Jake
Then what the is going wrong?
Caleb Hammer
Just Congratulations. Your budget. $4,700 comes in on a monthly basis. How much went out last month? How much was spent in total? That includes on debt. You budget. You should know. I want down to the dollar. Should be 3,900, 9,000, 726. What the are you talking about?
Dax
How the. Yep.
Caleb Hammer
What the are you talking about? Yeah, it's really all the X.
Dax
Well, no, because I have credit cards and after bankruptcy, I bought a new car immediately after discharge.
Caleb Hammer
Car debt?
Dax
Yeah. After. After discharge, probably two weeks, if that.
Caleb Hammer
What was the point? Dude, did you not learn a thing?
Dax
Apparently not.
Caleb Hammer
That's why I'm against it. That's when I'm against it. I'm not against it as a tool. I'm against it using it in a stupid thing. Because now you have all this bad credit and the bad credit from the bankruptcy, it's all just stupid.
Jake
You don't learn anything.
Caleb Hammer
Now you can't even afford a surgery to save your damn life.
Dax
I know, I'm a fat.
Caleb Hammer
Well, me too.
Dax
What are those C's right here?
Caleb Hammer
AA's, A's, A. Dude, I'm at A level, man.
Dax
Well, then we're together. Also, I wanna move out to Florida.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Is that cheaper than Oklahoma? I mean, are you gonna have the same job?
Dax
Yeah, I'll stay where I'm at. I'm over the road.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, you mean your job?
Dax
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
You'll stay where you're at.
Dax
Right.
Caleb Hammer
I was gonna say, I don't know if you know this Oklahoma City is not in fact in Florida. Okay, so what does that change here? Is that not more expensive? Florida's more expensive.
Dax
About $800 a month for rent.
Caleb Hammer
More. No where in Florida?
Dax
Backing with mom.
Caleb Hammer
Mom?
Dax
Yeah. I'm never home.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. I mean, no offense, but I mean, why? I mean at 40, that's a little at least culturally for us. A bit like on the. Ooh, like why never home?
Dax
What's the point of having rent?
Caleb Hammer
I'm kind of vibe with that. But you're still a 40 year old moving back in with mom and you're not making bad income and you only yourself after bankruptcy and tried to pin it all on your existence. So.
Dax
What'S the point of paying rent though if I'm never really home?
Caleb Hammer
It's less about that again, it's the full picture. It's the. You're never getting anywhere, it seems, other than your destination in the truck. It's, I don't know, just like going back home at 40, I vibe with the least, like, hey, why have that overhead of rent and it would only be 800?
Dax
It wouldn't be anything else. So there wouldn't be power. That's just flat 800.
Caleb Hammer
Why? I have a note saying that you also blame on your ex before the last ex, saying that it was financially draining.
Jake
I think that's you.
Caleb Hammer
What was financially draining about the ex before the ex?
Dax
Same issue.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, something tells me that one, you're not able to take accountability or two, people just milk you for money.
Dax
That's what it seems like.
Caleb Hammer
No, I think it's you don't know how to control yourself. Listen, you blame on everyone except for yourself, then you move in with mommy.
Dax
Another world would be a mom with mommy.
Caleb Hammer
No, but again, culturally, at 40 in relation to everything else, while going through bankruptcy, building all the way back up again, deflecting it on two exes. It's like if you're going to live with mom because we're rock bottom because of things we couldn't control, that's different. You've gone through this process, you deflect it, haven't taken responsibility once, and then you go and move in with mom. Come on, that's a completely different picture.
Dax
Could be. I think he'd do better though.
Caleb Hammer
Could be better.
Dax
Could do better.
Caleb Hammer
So why don't you? What?
Dax
Cause I'm going to. I'm moving back home, mom.
Caleb Hammer
That could do better. Oh, you're just gonna spend that extra. You're not separating. Look, you spent 9,000 again.
Dax
I don't know how I spent 9,000.
Caleb Hammer
Math.
Dax
Is that for every. Well, that's for the credit card. But I'm saying is that was it looked at correctly with what was just spent on that one month and not.
Caleb Hammer
Uh huh.
Dax
Wow, that's wild.
Caleb Hammer
I thought you're the budgeter. I am for the bills budget term.
Dax
When it comes to swiping, it's just.
Caleb Hammer
What'S the point of half budgeting? That doesn't get us anywhere. Look where I got you. Why only budget half your expenditures? That doesn't make any sense.
Dax
I said just do the minimum on my credit cards and I used more than the minimum to swipe. So.
Caleb Hammer
So what do you think your financial score is then? 0 to 10. 10 being the best, 0 being the worst. Where do you think today?
Dax
I did the thing online. It was a zero.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, that makes sense.
Dax
Also, that was probably like, I don't know, like six months ago, but it's still a zero.
Caleb Hammer
Great. So no progress in six months. That's lovely when you don't even have your ex with you. Yeah, it's all their fault. If you want the assessment and you're not blaming everything on your ex, all you have to do is go to calebhaber.com you can take it, get your financial score and if you want to, come on, just go to calebhammer.com apply and don't forget, if you don't want to be like the guest, download the budgeting app, sign up for the annual version.

Dax
It's not zero anymore.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, for sake. What is it?
Dax
551.
Jake
Why? You have a $0 debt here. You're not with the person that you blame anymore.
Dax
Why is my food.
Jake
What?
Caleb Hammer
What?
Dax
Gotta eat.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, you gotta eat? How are you gonna survive after weight loss surgery?
Dax
You tit not eat.
Caleb Hammer
You can't do that now. I mean you literally had a zero dollar debt in front of me and you're telling me it's 500 something?
Jake
Yeah, come on.
Caleb Hammer
Weight loss surgery is gonna be like bankruptcy. You're gonna get it, then you're gonna blow in your stomach again. I hope not.
Dax
No, I mean it is possible.

I would say it's very possible. Let me see your phone. Pull up the statement for that one. Did you fart?
Dax
No. It's probably this guy right here.
Caleb Hammer
I know human farts.
Dax
You say so maybe I farted myself. There's two selfs, so.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, whatever has the balance on it.
Dax
They both do.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, for sake. You have to. One at a time then.
Dax
No, it's the previous one.
Caleb Hammer
Do you enjoy trucking? Is it fun?
Dax
I enjoy. I enjoy driving.
Caleb Hammer
Never home. You can't form relationships.
Dax
No, that's why I'm probably not going to have one next myself.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. I guess it fits with the debt. The. Are you talking about 500. I see 1,880.
Dax
The other one.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, pull up the other one. I don't know if the other one. We'll get to that in a second.
Dax
551 exactly.
Caleb Hammer
45% utilization. $26.
Dax
What? I wasn't gonna pay that off cause I got paid today but. But what? I budgeted. I can't.
Caleb Hammer
What?
Dax
Because you haven't come across the IRS debt that's supposed to come out.
Caleb Hammer
Oh fuck for sake, buddy. And the IRS debt is your ex's fault?
Dax
No, that's my fault.
Caleb Hammer
So what the did you open this entire dumb conversation with dude, you kidding me? And stop and get into Bull McDonald's getting some at Arby's. Really? We're going to Arby's? Of all the places that exist in this world. Taco Bell.
Jake
What are we doing?
Caleb Hammer
It's all.
Dax
Yeah, I know. I told you it was all food.
Caleb Hammer
Why do you accept this? Why do you accept this? Arby's. Taco Bell. U Haul. U Haul. Storage. Moving Storage. Got junk. My gosh. What are you getting rid of?
Dax
Got rid of. Got rid of a couch.
Caleb Hammer
Water Water Burger. Getting some bs Getting some bs Getting some bs Baskin Robbins or Dunkin Donuts? Wendy's Car spa. Massage envy.
Dax
Car spa was probably a car wash. I'll be assuming.
Caleb Hammer
I'm not gonna lie. You have happy ending massages written all over you.
Dax
Really? You think so?
Caleb Hammer
Was it?
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
Was it?
Dax
It was not.
Caleb Hammer
Was it?
Dax
It was not done at a non massage envy vacation.
Caleb Hammer
What? What was? Huh?
Dax
Happy endings. They usually happen at other places besides massage envy. You know, the Chinese ones.
Caleb Hammer
I don't know. It sounded very happy ending to me. I don't know. Okay, well that's your opinion. Yeah, I guess. Yes, that's what I was saying. Divine nail bar. Let me see them. Okay, that's worth 25 bucks on a card we can't pay off.
Dax
Okay, actually that was probably a pedicure.
Caleb Hammer
So it looks nice for the massagers.
Dax
You say so.
Caleb Hammer
I. I'm asking you, dude. Ah, here's the other self that we just saw. And by the way, the balance was higher on there. But I'll just write what's on here because.
Dax
What's the difference?
Caleb Hammer
1,000. A couple hundred bucks. $1,347.15 $0.17 minimum monthly payment. $26 Again, it was paid off. And then you purchased all that?
Dax
Yeah.
Jake
Why? That's way more than you could ever pay off.
Caleb Hammer
It's more than your rent that you complain about that he wasn't paying half for.
Dax
Right?
Caleb Hammer
Just in your purchases on you.
Jake
So what was the point?
Dax
I had a car that I sold.
Caleb Hammer
Oh. That's why I spent a thousand three hundred. What the are you talking about?
Dax
I had two cars at one point.
Caleb Hammer
So that's why you spent 1,500.
Jake
What are you talking about?
Dax
I had all the debt paid off.
Caleb Hammer
After bankruptcy?
Dax
No, after. Well, not all the debt, but out of all the credit cards I had all of them except one paid off.
Caleb Hammer
When?
Dax
September.
Caleb Hammer
What the happened? Who are we blaming it on this time?
Dax
Myself.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, only cause I've called it out so much. What? What the happened?
Dax
That's just not giving a.
Caleb Hammer
And that is more important than actually a life saving surgery for you. What's that you spending, dude?
Dax
True.
Caleb Hammer
That's you Saying yes. Cause it was a question. Hold on. Wow. You are in trucks way too long. Not having human conversation.
Dax
Yeah. That.
Caleb Hammer
You are incapable of this.
Dax
Really? The only people that I talk to is customers. Like shippers and receivers.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Not very social. Sure.
Dax
And that's about it.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. You have a dog? Yeah. But you're never home. He keeps me company in the truck.
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
He goes with you everywhere in the truck?
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Is that a life for a dog? Not being able to frolic everywhere?
Dax
He plays.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. When you stop here and there.
Dax
Yeah. Every truck driver has a dog. Pretty much.
Caleb Hammer
It's not a very good life for a dog.
Dax
Yeah, he's okay. He sleeps a lot.
Caleb Hammer
Because he's in a truck. That's what I'm saying.
Dax
Yeah. But in general, he's always been like that.
Caleb Hammer
Haven't you only been trucking for three years?
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
What were you doing before?
Dax
I've been trucking since 2013. That's when I got my CDL.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, you dumb. Okay, I'm sorry. Yes. You've been trucking since the dog was born.
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
Huh?
Dax
He's only three.
Caleb Hammer
You said 2013 is when you started.
Dax
No, it's when I got my cdl.
Caleb Hammer
How the long have you been long haul trucking dude?
Dax
Since 2013. I told you that I got my CDL in 2013. Pay attention.
Caleb Hammer
So he wouldn't know another life besides it.
Dax
No, besides when he was born.
Caleb Hammer
You dude. Ho. I need you to have phone calls with people so you can at least have conversations outside of phone calls with.
Dax
People, hours on end.
Caleb Hammer
Who?
Dax
Friends that I've known since 2013 or 2016.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. I don't. You don't seem to be able to comprehend questions and deliver the answers to them.
Dax
I was horrible in school.
Caleb Hammer
I don't know if it's a school thing. I wasn't the. Okay. Okay. I wasn't the best in school either, but I.
Dax
Well, that's what happens when you graduate with a special diploma.
Caleb Hammer
Did you?
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
You look a little down syndrome. Is that why.
Dax
Possibly.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dax
I was born premature.
Caleb Hammer
Three months.
Dax
Yeah, actually, three months. Supposed to be born in February at Valentine's Day. Wasn't born until November.
Caleb Hammer
Well, the first place you must have been was at Denny's. Cause going there every second of our life.
Dax
Denny's, actually, it was oxygen for six.
Caleb Hammer
Months and then a severe lack of it until now.
Dax
Apparently. I need to be back on it. You know, oxygen. Not the kind you breathe on it from a tank.
Caleb Hammer
Yes.
Dax
What?
Caleb Hammer
You're all right.
Dax
So.
Caleb Hammer
Also going to the Car wash. On a different car wash. Sonic drivin. Chili's. Bumper.com?
Dax
Bumper.Com? I don't know what that is.
Caleb Hammer
What happens if I look up bumper.com, a little nervous?
Dax
I have no clue.
Caleb Hammer
Sounds like a bottoming.
Dax
No, I obviously don't even know what that is.
Caleb Hammer
We're finding out.
Dax
Guess we will.
Caleb Hammer
If a dick pops up, it's your fault. Yeah, okay. It's vehicle history report.
Dax
Oh, right. Because my new car got hit by hail and I wanted to see if it had already hit the carfax.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dax
I remember that transaction, Chili.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, that was before. Mexican restaurant. BB of Pearl, Bareback.
Jake
Amazon.
Caleb Hammer
Amazon. Amazon.
Dax
Blue beacon.
Caleb Hammer
Huh?
Dax
BB of Pearl, Blue beacon.
Caleb Hammer
We're going back to that flying J. Okay, pull up that Amazon. Let me see. Let me see.
Dax
There's actually a lot of purchases on there. One of them. What for? It should be on now.
Caleb Hammer
Great. I love when they're able to deliver to us on a highway.
Dax
What's that?
Caleb Hammer
Can someone help me here? I'm alone in this. He's not involved either.
Dax
Where's the orders? Not sure if that's what you wanted to see, but do I have to.
Caleb Hammer
Bring in the translator for this again? It's been a second. Dog grooming kit. Yeah, his lots of purchases are four baby clothes. Huh?
Dax
Babies.
Caleb Hammer
What about babies?
Dax
That's what it was. That should be one of my last transactions.
Caleb Hammer
No, it's dog grooming babies.
Dax
Is that not on there?
Caleb Hammer
No, it should be Hibbit portable bidet. Oh.
Dax
Oh, there's nothing wrong with bidet. You never used one.
Caleb Hammer
A portable bidet? Hey, it's better than you're taking places.
Dax
There's better than these?
Caleb Hammer
Some of these water balls. Huh? Huh?
Dax
Said some of these truck drivers, they'll grab water bottles out of the cooler and shove it up their ass.
Caleb Hammer
Mm. Okay, well, no babies should be on there. They're not. Babies are gone. That was.
Dax
I don't know how those transactions are.
Caleb Hammer
A dream of yours.
Dax
No, not mine. It was my ex's sister. She had a baby.
Caleb Hammer
When? You know I'm looking at recent history, right?
Dax
Three months ago.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, let's bring in the translator before this guy starts talking about oxygen tanks again. All right, Brandon, we brought you in. You're looking a little thuggish today or something.
Brandon
Handsome. Oh, handsome.
Caleb Hammer
You know, he's a big fan of yours?
Brandon
Of me?
Dax
He knew you never said Jim.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, you're like. I know. Oh, Brandon.
Jake
Brandon.
Dax
Oh, from the previous episode, right?
Jake
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
You must know. You Found the membership content or the previous translated.
Brandon
And you must know I'm eating it.
Caleb Hammer
Again because he just drops things.
Brandon
You must know you severely up if I'm here.
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Listen, I'm lucky enough to be able to tell you this. And I wish I had all the resources that exist right now in this world to have changed my life and got my together when I needed to back then. But it didn't exist. So my team and I put all of our resources, all of our time, all of our energy in making the best educational resources we could ever make. And guess what? We have literally a quarter of what the industry average refund rate is. Even though we guarantee free refunds for a full month. That just shows that we provide the best in industry education. And listen, I get it. Or business education be kind of expensive and we put a lot of work into it. But right now there is a sale until a couple days from now. So make sure you check it out. You can bundle all of our programs together and save a lot of money. It'll change your life. All right, well, translate for me cuz.
Dax
Apparently I'm need more oxygen.
Brandon
I could see that.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Okay. Let's talk about the discover it, shall we?
Dax
Sure.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, what's going on with this?
Dax
That's been like that for two to three years.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dax
Just I haven't been working on. I've been trying to work on the other cards and that one's been on the back burner. But it's the most people.
Jake
Just like it's at fucking credit max. It was above the credit max until.
Caleb Hammer
A day ago, essentially.
Dax
Right. It's been at the max the entire time. I pretty much almost immediately maxed the one out.
Caleb Hammer
That means you continue to max it out then.
Dax
No, it can't.
Caleb Hammer
What if it was three years? It wouldn't still be at the max.
Dax
Well, no. With interest, no.
Caleb Hammer
Not if you're making the minimum payments. It would not be $3 from the max. You're either not making payments or you're purchasing. Sometimes within the last three years I.
Dax
Probably purchased, but I don't remember exactly what it was.
Caleb Hammer
You farted again. Dude, it is $125 down. Dogs don't fart a minimum. I know dog farts.
Dax
How do you know that? You want PAWS only.
Brandon
Pause only. What is that?
Caleb Hammer
That's your job.
Brandon
I got confused, but I paid just enough on the credit card off just so that I can spend.
Caleb Hammer
Money a translator for him. I don't think that's right.
Dax
Another one.
Caleb Hammer
What are you talking about? Dog farts.
Dax
You know he's bringing it up.
Caleb Hammer
No, you said I have paws only.
Dax
It's a joke. That's probably only fan.
Caleb Hammer
Only fan. Why? After the breakup, that's our last step in a relationship with myself.
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Why are you okay with that? That can't be the rest of your life, man.
Dax
I don't know. I think I'm better off single.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dax
I think I do better financially in ways.
Caleb Hammer
Because you're not sending sugar babies money? Sure. So what? Happy massages and grinder for the rest of our life?
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
Well then what? What is your outlook? Cause there's no point like you're trying to. What's the point of getting the life saving surgery? What's the point of paying off all this debt if there's no future to live for? What are you trying to do? You're not even willing to like date again?
Dax
No, not right now anyway.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dax
Because I don't want to be in the same situation that I'm currently in.
Caleb Hammer
Just don't get someone that relies on you for your money. You don't even see them anyway.
Dax
Right. Which is why there's only and lot snakes.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Okay. Well, $104.88 of interest with $125 minimum payment. And you're just getting that of not on that one.
Dax
I'm saying throughout all the cards.
Caleb Hammer
So when it could be on all the cards, I guess we'll find out. So to be clear, you blame the two X's for your financial mess even though we've obviously proven this wrong. And you also keep the dog around just so you can them for when you yourself in that chair. So everything is this endless deflection with nothing to look forward to in the rest of our life.
Dax
I'm trying to pay them off slowly. Trying to start with the lowest balance credit card to pay them off. Because there is cards that you don't have.
Caleb Hammer
Your lowest balance was zero and you brought it to $550,000.
Dax
No, you don't have it. There is no balance.
Caleb Hammer
The lowest card you had was $0 and you brought it to $551.
Dax
Right. That was supposed to be paid off.
Caleb Hammer
Today, but then it wasn't because you have IRS debt.
Dax
Correct.
Caleb Hammer
So what the are you talking about? Snowball. Does snowball methods suggest put money on a credit card?
Dax
No, it's to pay it off.
Brandon
It's a modified snowball.
Caleb Hammer
How's that modified snowball working for you?
Dax
Not too good, apparently. Should try Avalanche and Snowball at the same time.
Caleb Hammer
It could work. Up and down at the same time.
Dax
I don't know. We'll see.
Caleb Hammer
Buddy. Porn's free.
Brandon
Up and down at the same time.
Caleb Hammer
How much are we spending on the of the. I am not gonna ask to see his of. I do not want to see.
Dax
Well, it's not mine.
Caleb Hammer
I. No, I know what you subscribe to.
Dax
I don't know. It's only like $7. Maybe Max, I've spent.
Caleb Hammer
Show Brandon what you subscribe to. There we go. Instead of me. He'll try. He'll translate for me.
Dax
I don't think he wants to see that.
Caleb Hammer
Pull it up. Here we go.
Dax
There's nothing on there. It's all canceled.
Caleb Hammer
Let's see. We'll see the past subscriptions, but you.
Dax
Can see everything.
Brandon
I heard through the grapevine.
Caleb Hammer
Don't grunt. Just to pull it up.
Dax
No, I'm trying to think of how I usually log in.
Brandon
How many total subscriptions are there?
Dax
Should be zero. I just said that.
Brandon
No, no, no, no, no. In your past list.
Dax
Oh, I have no idea. I couldn't tell you.
Caleb Hammer
Ladies, if you're out there doing of and you want a career change, I'll gift you a course career certification and get you out of that. And you probably need therapy with it, so I'll give you three free sessions with Sondermind.
Dax
Is it all?
Caleb Hammer
Take it? Is it all Translate. What are we saying?
Brandon
I'm not allowed to say names. Stars, hearts, lots of eggplants.
Caleb Hammer
Wait, what?
Brandon
Okay, that's kind of a crazy name. Look at that name right there. One letter off.
Caleb Hammer
He has a lot of. I see a lot of messages.
Brandon
You do have a lot of messages.
Caleb Hammer
Translate.
Brandon
Okay, there's about 50 different people on here.
Caleb Hammer
Who are we talking to?
Dax
Nobody.
Brandon
Danny, Twink. Xx, Cash.
Dax
Some of those are probably so old, I don't even know who they are.
Brandon
This is wild, dude. There was maybe 50. There has to be a hundred. This goes.
Caleb Hammer
Translate. What's the video say? Have.
Brandon
Tidy whities in a six pack.
Dax
I know he wasn't a female. I don't go down that far.
Brandon
Did you see how long I was scrolling?
Caleb Hammer
He was scrolling for a while.
Dax
What was that, like two minutes?
Caleb Hammer
How much do you normally pay on the of?
Dax
How much do I usually pay? I don't pay. I just subscribe and then unsubscribe.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, but how often are we doing this?
Dax
Not often. Maybe once every three months. If that.
Caleb Hammer
Why? Why does all of a sudden we get to that?
Dax
Want extra photos or video to get off?
Caleb Hammer
Wait, extra what?
Dax
Photos.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Brandon
Goon. Maxing.
Caleb Hammer
It's free. That's all I'm gonna say.
Dax
What's free or only?
Caleb Hammer
And sex?
Dax
Oh, yeah, true.
Caleb Hammer
Except not the places you go to.
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. You okay?
Dax
Only. He's okay.
Caleb Hammer
He's never experimented.
Dax
My three fee sessions. That's on your mind. Pass it over.
Caleb Hammer
You'll need it.
Dax
Double it or nothing.
Caleb Hammer
Well, you can gift him one of those monthly subscriptions as well.
Dax
I don't think he's into that.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, interest charges here so far here, nearly 350 bucks.
Jake
Fees. You had a fee.
Caleb Hammer
I told you. I told you, dude. You had a late fee this year so far on this card.
Dax
I don't know how that's possible. It's on auto.
Caleb Hammer
It's possible by you not paying it.
Dax
It's on auto. Everything's on auto.
Caleb Hammer
You didn't have enough money in your checking account?
Dax
Well, it's on auto, but I usually pay it before the due date.
Caleb Hammer
Don't care. You've had a late fee this year.
Dax
Just one.
Caleb Hammer
Just one. I don't know how that's possible by you not paying.
Dax
Well, no.
Caleb Hammer
Well, that's how it's possible. A further down conclusion would be not enough money in your checking account when the automatic payment was supposed to happen.
Brandon
If I may, we're spending our money on.
Dax
Not all of it.
Caleb Hammer
Which is more important than paying for your own rent, having your own independence. Okay, okay, Leifi, I told you that you don't just stay at the height. At the top of the credit card limit for three years without purchasing or without late fees. And now we know there's both.
Dax
Yeah, I had no idea there was a late fee. I don't know how that is.
Caleb Hammer
Verve credit balance $1,660.82 with $15 of fees for Y.
Dax
That's probably the annual fee. Annual fee or the.
Caleb Hammer
That's a monthly maintenance fee.
Dax
Yeah, yeah.
Caleb Hammer
For sake.
Jake
$20 of purchases.
Caleb Hammer
Why are you possibly purchasing on a car that you can pay off that there are monthly maintenance fees, which. Well, what is even the credit limit on this thing? Do you know on that one?
Dax
Yeah, I would. Have a look.
Caleb Hammer
Interest accruing 50 bucks. So we're purchasing our car that we can't pay off, that fees are being accrued that takes five years to pay off. Doing our minimum payments only without any purchases, which is crazy. It's crazy. $85 minimum monthly pay. I mean, $84 minimum monthly payment. We have necromancy.
Dax
Huh?
Caleb Hammer
Necromancy.
Dax
I don't know what that is. I'VE never.
Caleb Hammer
I thought we were heavy massages, not necrophily.
Dax
I don't know what that is.
Caleb Hammer
Necromancy. That's what you purchase sp Necromancy. You're purchasing it on the card that you cannot afford.
Jake
You are the one who has swiped.
Dax
I understand that, but I don't know what it is.
Caleb Hammer
You're the one who budgets. You said you don't even know what the this is. You don't even know how much you spent.
Dax
On that. On that card. I don't know what that.
Caleb Hammer
What your car is overall. You remember can we go like 20 minutes ago when he said you thought you spent like 5,000 or 4,000 when he spent 9,000.
Dax
Right.
Brandon
We swipe and then we snowball an avalanche. We don't budget, boss.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, sake. Okay, this is a fun one. I get to get you free money, and then I get to get myself free money. It's a pure win win for both of us. What do you have to do? Sign up for a SoFi high yield savings Account and get a welcome bonus of $300. Sign up for Acorns using my link and get $20 instead of the usual $5. Finally, sign up for Silo and earn up to $5,000 in cash back on your own stocks. These offers have been negotiated to give us both more money than using traditional signup methods. So use the links in the resources section of the description below and get yourself $5,320 right now. What the. Or, like you're just going and getting this thing and you don't even know what it is. Are you not even plotting out your purchases? You don't even know what this is? I'm being told it's some kind of makeup or cosmetic thing.
Dax
I don't know. I mean, there could have been. My ex probably purchased on that because I know you.
Jake
Six months ago is when you broke up your. This is a month ago.
Dax
He still had it locked into his phone. I told him to delete it. Delete all my card information.
Caleb Hammer
Can't reset it.
Dax
I can't reset a card number.
Jake
Yes, you can. You say it's lost or stolen. You tit.
Dax
You could.
Jake
That's what you do.
Dax
Yeah, but then it just shows up at a house.
Brandon
When you order a card, it shows up at the house.
Jake
Yes.
Dax
Right. And then he gets the mail. I'm never home.
Caleb Hammer
He's still there.
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
You broke up with him six months ago and he's still there.
Dax
Yeah, but he's buying some rent and you're paying Rent? No, he's by himself.
Caleb Hammer
You're paying rent.
Dax
No, I'm not.
Jake
You said at the beginning, you said you're maintaining the rent. You had.
Dax
No, the rent is done.
Jake
Buddy.
Caleb Hammer
I can't get fucking answer out of.
Jake
You to save my life.
Caleb Hammer
That is correct. Cause then I learned something completely different.
Jake
That is. What are you talking about? At the beginning, You.
Caleb Hammer
What the. Man, do you know what's going on in your own damn life?
Dax
Yeah. There's no more rent. The lease ended and he took it over? Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Then why at the beginning did you not tell me that and suggest. Where are you living now?
Dax
I'm moving back to Florida.
Caleb Hammer
But six months ago, when you broke up, where have you been living?
Dax
The lease wasn't over.
Caleb Hammer
When did the lease end?
Dax
Last month.
Caleb Hammer
Where have you been living for a month?
Dax
In the truck.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. With the lot snakes. Okay.
Dax
No, my daughter.
Caleb Hammer
Is that a 36% interest rate? There's actually 36% interest rate. And you purchase makeup that you don't even know about and you refuse to get it, reset the number because it shows up. Change the address that it shows up to, you tit. And then request a new card.
Dax
Doesn't that take like 30 days or so? What to do with change of address on a card?
Caleb Hammer
I've changed my addresses on a card multiple times. I don't know. But I also don't check the mail very much because I live in the 21st century. So it's worth a try, is it not? You're just gonna let him spend on here forever? You're still sugar babying, but you don't get any of the benefits.
Dax
I blocked him out. All the credit cards off.
Brandon
So I'm talking so much bull that I'm getting confused.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, because you said this would have been him. That's impossible if you locked him out.
Dax
I didn't lock him out. I just locked it. I just locked it.
Brandon
I am a prosecutor's dream.
Dax
Okay?
Caleb Hammer
Oh, buddy, I don't think you know what's happening around you. I'm. I'm concerned that you're on the highways. There are signs you have to follow.
Dax
Yeah.
Brandon
No cop, no stop.
Dax
Well, just keep going.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, moving on to sir, you clean.
Dax
Same company, so it's going to be high interest also.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, good. That sounds like a great $36 on then. Was this him too?
Dax
No, that was probably me because I have all the cards.
Brandon
We snowball and we avalanche.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Sir you ling. Sir. Sir you lean. We have a balance of a thousand four hundred sixty four dollars. 69 cent with interest charging $42.89. $675.77 was the previous balance. You only made them? We made a $90 payment. Then you purchased $836.03. Why?
Dax
I'm assuming it's on food.
Jake
It's not on food, but it's mostly on food.
Caleb Hammer
Arby's.
Jake
More Arby's. Why are we going to Arby's?
Dax
So it's at truck stops. Gotta have the meats.
Caleb Hammer
You already have them.
Brandon
The meats were in your only fan.
Dax
Well, it's true.
Caleb Hammer
Went and got some bull. Scooter's Coffee, Amazon Marketplace, Regal's Nail Salon. That has to be a front. That's double nail salon in the same month. Is that where the happy massages are done these days? No, I haven't personally investigated real.
Dax
Shouldn't be the same month.
Caleb Hammer
It's the same month.
Dax
I don't know how that is. Then.
Brandon
I went once, and then I went again, and I thought they were different months.
Caleb Hammer
Lips Along Lion Salon and Spa. You go to a lot of different questionably named.
Dax
I don't name them parlors, but you.
Caleb Hammer
Go to different ones on the roads. Do you check? No.
Dax
Cause those are on other roads.
Caleb Hammer
Huh?
Dax
Those aren't on the roads.
Caleb Hammer
Then why are we going to.
Dax
Because I do that on my home time.
Caleb Hammer
They sound very fishy. You wouldn't admit it if you did it, would you?
Dax
Admit what?
Brandon
I appreciate a local tug.
Caleb Hammer
Would you know?
Dax
I don't know. We'll find out.
Caleb Hammer
I mean, come on.
Brandon
I definitely appreciate a local tug.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Winning. Got some bull. I mean, come on. I've had enough of these conversations. I'm not gonna make you say it. $60.96 of interest accrued this year so far. It's about to be a lot higher because it just doubled the balance with a 35.9% interest rate. All right, Capital One, what's going on with this card?
Dax
Which Capital One is that?
Caleb Hammer
Capital One Platinum.
Dax
That's a secured card. There's only, like, a $200 balance on there.
Caleb Hammer
What's going on with this card? Because that didn't answer any of the questions. All I see is you're above the credit card limit.
Dax
I use it for when I don't have money in my account for food.
Brandon
Brother needs to eat. I'm hungry.
Caleb Hammer
Buddy, you know you're getting the surgery for this, right?
Dax
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Why don't we start the. Yeah, you know, you know. Do you know why? Dr. Now. Big fan.
Dax
Dr. Now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Do you know why he makes them lose so much weight before they're allowed to get the surgery?
Dax
Nope. Cause you're a fat.
Caleb Hammer
Come on, Try to use the brain. I know. It's just in the truck all day. Try to use it. Why do you think you guys look like a very cute gay couple that I'm sure you're used to? In the camera that I'm looking at, you would, right? You'd hit.
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, what the. You just insulted my boy. All right. Don't worry.
Dax
No, I'm not. I'm not sure why he does that.
Caleb Hammer
Come on, think. Think. Please think.
Dax
To show a willingness to.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Headed in the right direction. One, I mean, this is the obvious, and it's the stated reason it's a very risky surgery. So getting them under as much as possible, you know, getting them to lose as much weight as possible makes it less risky. That's the obvious. Two, it's the showing that they have any inkling of the behavior that is going to actually make them lose weight after the surgery, because all it's doing is reducing your stomach by, what, 90%? So with that, it's showing that you're going to actually maintain through. However, you are very clearly not. And it's just like your bankruptcy situation, which makes me nervous to have the surgery because you don't change your behavior. You try to do the shortcut options instead of actually putting in any work before or after. And look where we are. After your bankruptcy, the same thing's gonna.
Jake
Happen with the light.
Caleb Hammer
Not the lipo, the gastric bypass. You're gonna get it, and then you're gonna balloon it.
Dax
I hope not.
Brandon
I don't think so. But you're probably right, Caleb.
Caleb Hammer
I'm probably right? Cause let's. We looked at your past. Come on. It's a huge failure rate with that surgery anyway when it comes to people actually losing over time and holding the.
Dax
Bypass, yes, it's better than the sleeve.
Caleb Hammer
Okay? But it's still behavior change, and you have no inkling of behavior change. You do shortcuts and then blame game. That's your entire life. Okay, well, again, you're over the credit card limit on this. You paid off your previous balance, but then you purchase $451 and 86 cents.
Jake
Okay, well, we started off with every.
Caleb Hammer
Card like we always do with Arby's. All right, why are we starting every card with Arby's?
Dax
You. I do. That's what's at truck stops. There's only Arby's, Subways, Chesters, Subways would be healthier.
Caleb Hammer
Chesters would probably be tastier. Even though I've never had it. But it's Arby's.
Dax
Have you had their burgers?
Jake
No.
Caleb Hammer
Cause it's Arby's.
Dax
You should try it. It's actually pretty good.
Brandon
I eat deer ankles.
Caleb Hammer
We went in and got some bull Wendy's, McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts. Bull, bull. McDonald's. Noodle Dumplings. BS Blazepizza. Etsy.com. where are we even ordering that to? To the apps.
Dax
Etsy.com.
Caleb Hammer
Are you trying to win him back over?
Dax
No, that's probably one of the ones that was locked into his phone. I don't have it. I don't never order from Etsy.
Caleb Hammer
Oh for sake.
Brandon
I'm lying.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Come on dude. I can't believe what we're just saying at this point. Noodles, McDonald's, Sonic Drive. And you're going to Sonic too. Disgusting drinks. Yeah, the price point kind of reflects that first truth you've told. Taco Bell, Dunkin Donut, Baskin Robbins, Chick Fil A and other Etsy.
Dax
Yeah, I don't Etsy's. I don't know. I've never purchased from Etsy.
Brandon
Sugar babies with no sugar.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Where is it? You're not getting the sugar.
Dax
It's Splenda.
Caleb Hammer
Dude, you're not even getting that. Sp. Wild Bloom.
Dax
Doesn't ring a bell. That's the website.
Caleb Hammer
It's the purchase name.
Dax
I have no idea.
Jake
Let's look it up.
Caleb Hammer
I don't know. It's all blonde over tanned Karens. That's all like Etsy jewelry. Honestly.
Dax
Yeah, I wouldn't. That's not mine. I mean it's on the car but I have no idea what it is.
Caleb Hammer
But it also. Can we see what your ex looks like? I don't know if he fits in that from everything I know.
Jake
What is this?
Caleb Hammer
$40 of Grinder Premium.
Dax
There's no way, buddy. Why would I use a premium?
Caleb Hammer
That's what I was saying about.
Dax
Right. I don't know how there's $40 and.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, I'm fucking with you on that one.
Dax
Got me on that one.
Caleb Hammer
But a part of you believes it.
Dax
I did.
Brandon
It's got to chat GPT the image first.
Caleb Hammer
If this person looks anything like my translator here, I'm gonna be definitely not. Brandon is a handsome man. You shouldn't date him cause he's a horrible person. But he's a handsome man.
Dax
Damn. You think about all of your employees.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, he's a part of the Goon Squad.
Brandon
We go back and forth.
Caleb Hammer
It's all in the YouTube membership, baby. The best one on the platform link in the description below.
Dax
Wow.
Caleb Hammer
We don't. We don't know his name.
Dax
I didn't say that. I'm looking for a photo. You asked for a photo. Correct.
Caleb Hammer
Instagram, Facebook.
Dax
I don't have Instagram. You don't have Instagram?
Brandon
Every boomer has Facebook.
Caleb Hammer
How do you find sex?
Dax
Do I find sex these days? I don't. Lots of sex. But you would be interested to know that actually, that is how I met him.
Caleb Hammer
Grindr?
Dax
Yep.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, it's so inappropriate. But I luckily have his legal consent, so I don't really care. When is the last time you had sex?
Dax
A long time. Like two years.
Caleb Hammer
The Asian parlor does not count. Two years. Wait, you broke up with him six months ago.
Dax
Doesn't mean anything. I'm never home.
Caleb Hammer
But you said you went home once a month at least.
Dax
Yeah, to like, take a break or whatever.
Caleb Hammer
Not to, like, have sex with your partner.
Dax
Correct.
Caleb Hammer
That you paid for. When I purchase an item, I like to make good use of it.
Brandon
100%.
Dax
Okay, here's the thing.
Caleb Hammer
There was no sugar in this baby.
Brandon
Oh, there was sugar in that baby. It just wasn't his.
Dax
Do you want to see her?
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, both of us.
Dax
That's an old photo.
Caleb Hammer
I said it was a small little twink. I told you. And yes, this is the most as clear as day sugar baby situation. Can we be real? Can we be real?
Dax
Sure.
Caleb Hammer
Come on. That was a sugar baby situation, was it not?
Dax
It more than likely was.
Caleb Hammer
Come on. There we go. You guys didn't. I mean, listen, I ask wild questions, I ask inappropriate questions, but they always lead somewhere. Come on.
Dax
Here's the one before.
Brandon
They're like night and day different.
Caleb Hammer
Well, let me see. He went from twink to. Yeah, just slightly older twink. I mean, I get it, but yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Well, that confirms. Was the one previous to Sugar Baby 2. No. Okay, see, I want you to find love and a reason to just. A reason to go home, a reason to do things, a reason to put in the work, a reason to stick around. Because the main thing is, it's just like you're not gonna get there with the sugar baby situation. You're just not. Okay. I want you to find love. And looking for sugar babies isn't gonna do well. Let's kick Brandon out and go through these conversations. Thank you, Brandon, good translator.
Dax
Woo Ro, come here.
Caleb Hammer
I don't need a translator to get through the rest of these 31.24% interest rate. Certainly not good. Obviously the method is not working.
Dax
The avalanche snowball. No.
Caleb Hammer
Yes. The combination that goes nowhere. Okay. Oh, for money to family. $600.
Jake
For what?
Dax
Whenever I'm negative in my account.
Jake
Why would you be negative though? You don't overhead.
Dax
Whenever I'm negative in my account. I don't even ask.
Caleb Hammer
I'm asking you why I should have kept him in here.
Jake
Answer the damn question.
Caleb Hammer
Why would you be negative in your account?
Dax
When I calculate to pay the bills manually, there'll be times that I don't correctly input it and I'll forget.
Jake
You get harder to listen to when.
Caleb Hammer
He'S not next to you. Okay, listen, buddy, you make good income for someone with no overhead. Limited overhead, let's be real. But do you own your truck or do you rent your truck?
Dax
Neither. Comedy driver.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, that's even better, right?
Dax
Yes. So.
Caleb Hammer
What the.
Jake
What the. How could you ever be negative?
Caleb Hammer
No surprise you had a late payment, right? If you're just saying you're negative. When did you borrow from the famous, um.
Dax
When I'm negative, it just gets sent. I don't even ask.
Caleb Hammer
What? How would they know?
Dax
She.
Caleb Hammer
That family member.
Dax
Yes. That family member.
Caleb Hammer
Has access.
Dax
She has access.
Jake
You're 40. You're 40.
Dax
Benefits.
Jake
Huh?
Dax
Death benefits. You know, if I were to pass, they have access to it and vice versa.
Jake
You can still. You can still.
Caleb Hammer
You don't have anything, by the way. You don't have assets. But either way, you can still have a will where it goes to them. Why do you.
Jake
You don't need.
Caleb Hammer
That's embarrassing. Purchase everything in our credit cards as a 40 year old child. And then family members comes in and bails us out because we put all our money towards paying off the minimum payments on the credit cards using two combined non payoff methods.
Jake
So they see, uh oh, family member doesn't have money. Let me put it in for him.
Caleb Hammer
When you just go and blow it all on Arby's and of.
Jake
Come on. Do you not see how much of.
Caleb Hammer
A joke that is? That's a joke.
Jake
That's a joke.
Dax
I disagree.
Jake
How?
Dax
Because I don't ask for it, it's automatically done.
Jake
You didn't say you did. I didn't say you did.
Caleb Hammer
I said you go and rack up all the money on Bull spending on cards they don't have access to. And then in order to make your payments, you drain your accounts. Then they say, oh no.
Jake
Bull will. Bull will. Jax, Dax doesn't have all money. He doesn't have money. Let's give him money.
Dax
I mean, I don't ask for it, so.
Jake
Oh, I just said that. Doesn't matter.
Caleb Hammer
It's how you do it.
Jake
It's how you do it.
Caleb Hammer
It's what you do with the how. How can. How are you not comprehending that, buddy? Big guy friend. Mr. Jacks. Dax, why are you not able to comprehend what the. I am saying?
Dax
Lack of oxygen.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Where's the tank?
Dax
Behind you.
Caleb Hammer
Wow. Oh, you think you're clever. Jeez, that's. That's a rough one, man. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Jake
Woo.
Caleb Hammer
I gotta get you out of the truck. It's not a good place for you. Not a good place for the dog.
Jake
Okay, fam.
Caleb Hammer
$600. Do we have a minimum fee payment agreed upon for that or what?
Dax
No, that's the one we just discussed.
Caleb Hammer
Huh?
Dax
That's the one we just discussed. She don't care. She don't care. It's just whenever.
Jake
Why do you become.
Dax
There's no minimum payment.
Jake
Why do you wait for him to.
Caleb Hammer
Leave to give me income here? Dax. Yes, my boy? What the are you on? Okay, okay. There's no agreed upon payments. What have the conversations been around this?
Dax
It's just pay me back when you can. That's all it is.
Caleb Hammer
But if you don't ask for it, it's just given upon you. It's a forced upon debt.
Dax
I can see that.
Caleb Hammer
No, let's not make you a little victim. I'm giving you that ability. No, no, no. You don't need that in your life.
Dax
It is a debt, but it needs to be paid back.
Caleb Hammer
But you know the conversations. You have it. What do you say? What does she say?
Dax
I would ask how much in total she spent and she would tell me, but it's not like I'm asking her for the money.
Caleb Hammer
I've never had someone fart in the studio this many times. Listen, you also have and I know the difference. I know the difference. You are not getting out of it. It's just leaking. And you probably don't even know that's gross. Yes, but I'm the one smelling it.
Dax
I don't know what you're smelling. I don't smell anything.

Jake
It's $1991.
Dax
It was more than that.
Jake
What the are you doing? But it was too.
Caleb Hammer
You haven't paid him in over two years though. It was originally 4000, but you haven't.
Jake
Paid in two years.
Dax
Right? How am I supposed to pay?
Jake
What the.
Caleb Hammer
With them?
Jake
By not going to Arby's? You what are you. What? By not subbing to of. By not getting happy endings. What do you think? By not putting the money where you.
Caleb Hammer
Put it and giving it to him. Why did you borrow this? And why have you not paid in two years? Let's hear an answer. And don't tell me oxygen tank.
Dax
Um, I don't exactly remember why it was borrowed.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, for sake. You're not.
Dax
I don't remember why it was borrowed. It's been so long. I couldn't give you a reason.
Jake
It's been four years.
Dax
Yeah. I can't remember what I borrowed it for.
Jake
No, no. It's been four years.
Caleb Hammer
You did not borrow it at four.
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
You know that, right?
Dax
That's not what I said. That is what you said.
Caleb Hammer
That is what you said.
Dax
No, it's been four years. I don't remember within the four previous four years what the money was borrowed for.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, I know what the. I do. How do you not know?
Dax
I just don't remember what it was.
Caleb Hammer
For.4,000 hours to a friend is not significant. At one time you told me it was a 4,000 hour. You told the producer it was a 4,000 hour loan. You took it out.
Dax
It wasn't at once.
Caleb Hammer
What kind of stuff were you borrowing it for, Dax?
Dax
Probably rent.
Caleb Hammer
I don't know why?
Dax
Because I was contractor at one point.
Caleb Hammer
But you didn't even have an ex to blame it on at that point. A fake ex.
Dax
No. Cause we were still in a relationship at that point.
Caleb Hammer
Doesn't make sense. You said you were together three years and you broke up six months ago.
Dax
No, it's been six.
Caleb Hammer
Six.
Dax
And we broke up about six months ago.
Jake
What are just.
Caleb Hammer
Dax, Dax, Dax, my precious Dax. So what the are you talking about?
Dax
The debt. I don't know what it's the debt. The $4,000.
Caleb Hammer
It's warm in here. I want to make sure you are not having a stroke.
Dax
I be.
Caleb Hammer
No, no, no. Like I'm actually asking. Cause you are not comprehending these questions. Are you okay?
Dax
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, then try. Cause I literally just said that and then you said it's. It's been six.
Dax
No, it's been six years.
Caleb Hammer
Since what?
Dax
In a relationship.
Caleb Hammer
What? Oh, okay. That was a six year relationship. Sorry, I thought I remembered three.
Dax
Yes, the relationship with my current ex has been six years. But that four year has. I don't know. It's what it was borrowed for. Without. For the four years. I couldn't tell you what it was.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Why the haven't you paid in two years? How about that?
Dax
Because he don't mind. He much rather have the friendship.
Caleb Hammer
He don't mind.
Dax
He much rather has a friendship.
Caleb Hammer
We need to practice just talking, man. Go on.
Dax
He much rather have the friendship than have the money back.
Caleb Hammer
That it should not be either. Or if you're a good friend, you'd pay it back.
Dax
That's true.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, it's true. So why the aren't you? I didn't ask why isn't he asking? I'm asking why aren't you?
Dax
I kind of forgot about it, honestly.
Jake
Bull. He told us. Dax.
Dax
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Answer the question.
Dax
I don't know what I told you. I don't know what it's for.
Jake
Dude, that's not what I'm asking. Oh, I'm asking why you haven't made a payment in four years. And no, it's not cause you forgot about it.
Caleb Hammer
Cause you literally told us about it. So why the not.
Dax
I just haven't. I kind of forgot about it, to be honest.
Jake
No, this has to be honest.
Caleb Hammer
You. I don't think you've been honest once in your life. What happens if we call your friend? What would he say?
Dax
Well, I just told you.
Caleb Hammer
Call him and ask him his opinion on the debt and that you haven't paid.
Dax
On the debt that I owe him.
Caleb Hammer
And that you haven't paid in two years. Mind of the Dead is $1991. Yeah, you gave us down to the dollar. So you don't remember speaker to hear. We'll bleep names. If names are said it so it's okay. Do people not know how to pick up phones and.
Dax
Flatbeds? We want to be.
Caleb Hammer
We are filming a the financial audit right now. Okay, we'll try them again in the post show. People are not answering right now.
Dax
Should I.
Caleb Hammer
They don't know how important this is. Yeah, give him a text. Give them both a text. Say you want to talk to both of them. The ex and you already tried calling the ex? Yeah, text him. Just asking if he can pick up like what up, Twinkle?
Dax
He would have already called you back.
Caleb Hammer
Just text him, dude, I have do not disturb on. So he may have. Okay. Why do I see debt to X's sister?
Dax
That's for the car. Because I don't have a car. For car.
Caleb Hammer
Vehicle.
Dax
Yes, car.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dax
Instead of the car that I sold that I paid the debt off with my current vehicle that I have that I purchased after was hit by hail. So we didn't.
Caleb Hammer
I didn't have insurance.
Dax
Rental's insurance.
Caleb Hammer
Rental?
Dax
Yeah, rental. When you hit your vehicle gets an auto body shop.
Caleb Hammer
I didn't have a. Oh, oh, yes. Okay. So you bought a car when it was in the fucking shop.
Dax
Yeah. That way he could have something to drive to go to work.
Caleb Hammer
But why'd you just use the justification of your car being in the shop for you buying a car? And also used his sister's money? No, I see money owed to ex's sister.
Dax
Yeah, I bought the car from her for my ex.
Caleb Hammer
But use the reason of your car being in the shop.
Dax
Hailstorm. It was in for a month and a half.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, I know why we've established that part. You said that's why you got the car. And then you said it was for him. But you said it was because your car was in the shop.
Dax
Right? I didn't have a rental agreement, so I. He needed to get back and forth to work, so his sister had an additional car to use.
Caleb Hammer
You drive him back and forth to work? Typically, no.
Dax
I'm over the road.
Caleb Hammer
So why does your car being in the shop matter?
Dax
Because he got repaired. There was only one vehicle.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so he used your car.
Dax
Yes, he was using.
Jake
There we go.
Caleb Hammer
Dude, that is so much easier.
Jake
Why couldn't you just say that?
Dax
There's only one.
Caleb Hammer
You pretend like me and the audience and Lindsey and Jake already know your life. We don't. We're uncovering it right now. You have to give context.
Jake
Dax.
Dax
Yes, there was one context. One vehicle.
Caleb Hammer
Are you paying her?
Dax
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
How much a month?
Dax
200.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. How much did you borrow at the. At the start of it?
Dax
I didn't borrow it. I owed her the full balance of 2,700.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. That is 200amonth. I never know what I'm walking into when I'm walking into this room.
Dax
Well, I've paid about 1,400 of it so far. Of the 2700.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, you have. Okay. Okay. And please tell me you're not paying for the insurance, right?
Dax
Yes. It's under the same policy, so.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, you are paid for.
Dax
Yes.
Jake
Get a different policy.
Caleb Hammer
You're paying for your ex's car insurance.
Dax
Yeah.
Jake
You're daddy and without the sugar.
Caleb Hammer
Still. Still.
Dax
Yep.
Caleb Hammer
Even though it doesn't sound like you got much, but regardless.
Jake
Why get in a fucking policy.
Dax
I need to. It's kind of expensive.
Caleb Hammer
No, I asked why.
Dax
Why did you have a different policy?
Caleb Hammer
Why you aren't getting one.
Dax
I need to.
Caleb Hammer
I'm asking why you aren't.
Dax
Because I was calling around getting quotes for insurance.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Jake
It takes five seconds online.
Caleb Hammer
It takes five seconds online.
Jake
I know it takes five seconds.
Dax
I've gotten some quotes.
Caleb Hammer
What calls are you making?
Dax
I've gotten some quotes for the. For new insurance, and it's about the same.
Caleb Hammer
Do you want to be paying for his.
Jake
No, that switch.
Dax
I agree.
Jake
Then why aren't you.
Dax
It needs a switch.
Caleb Hammer
You haven't answered why. You're not. You answered. You've gotten quotes, but not the why. You have not.
Dax
Because he claims he don't have money to put money towards.
Caleb Hammer
Claim he don't have money towards his own insurance.
Dax
Cause you gotta have money down.
Caleb Hammer
Does it matter? It's him. It's your ex. You are not the. Providing the money anymore.
Dax
It shouldn't matter now.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, okay. Got very focused on a black screen over there. Okay. Huh.
Dax
Life360. I am muted in case they call back.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, there's the IRS debt. Yes, wonderful. Why the do you have IRS debt?
Dax
Because that was when I was leasing.
Caleb Hammer
A truck through a company and.
Dax
I never paid the taxes on it. It built up.
Caleb Hammer
Cause you're a contractor, correct? Not because you were leasing a truck, but because you were a contractor. That was the tax structure, right? The way you answer these questions. Can I let you know something, Dax?
Dax
Sure.
Caleb Hammer
We almost ended this conversation 15 minutes in, but I'm very glad we didn't because this is so interesting. You are such an interesting person.
Dax
It's been a while since you said that, huh? It's been a while since You've said that.
Caleb Hammer
Do you watch every episode?
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Why don't you know how to act? Then.
Dax
There'S the camera, I guess.
Caleb Hammer
You nervous?
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Okay. It's okay, buddy. Your dog's here. $13,528.41 is owed to the IRS because you were.
Dax
Were a contractor didn't save up more than 13,000. There's three years.
Caleb Hammer
How much? Oh, my. So that's one year?
Dax
Yes, that's one year. There's 21 years.
Caleb Hammer
Let's start with this. Let's start with this, dude. Okay. You're accruing interest and penalty. Are you paying? Are you making payments?
Dax
Yes, I'm on a payment plan.
Caleb Hammer
What is your monthly payment for this one?
Dax
453.
Caleb Hammer
For this one alone?
Dax
No. No. And for all three combined.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, I guess we'll add. So it was three years of contracting that you didn't pay taxes. Wouldn't you learn your lesson after the first year? You would think I would think.
Dax
There's times that I have paid, but it wasn't the full amount, so.
Caleb Hammer
But why did you not learn your lesson after a whole year?
Dax
I thought the economy would have gotten better.
Caleb Hammer
What does that mean about saving for taxes, dad.
Dax
Make more money.
Jake
Huh?
Dax
Make more money.
Jake
This doesn't make it. No. Why didn't you learn to set money aside on year two and three? The economy doesn't have anything to do with setting aside money. Huh?
Dax
I just never. I didn't do it. That's the first time I had a dun. Contractor.
Jake
No, but it was three years of it.
Caleb Hammer
You would learn that you owed money after the first year. Please, please get. Please understand what I am saying. How did you not learn the second year? Maybe we should correct our behavior. Dash.
Dax
I couldn't.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dax
I tried and was just, you know, spend, spend, spend, spend.
Caleb Hammer
That's not trying. That's you spending and spending and spending, spending.
Dax
When I had the. When I was 10.99, that was paying the credit cards off every month.
Caleb Hammer
You're not. Why did you not attempt to set. Did you know to set aside money after you realized. Oh, I didn't set aside money the first year.
Dax
Yeah. Then why the.
Caleb Hammer
Didn't you.
Dax
Just. Didn't I, you know, pay bills either Average.
Caleb Hammer
That's a bill.
Dax
No, no. These bills.
Caleb Hammer
Tax.
Dax
But I know what the total is for that. For the three years.
Caleb Hammer
$37,703.32.
Dax
What's the minimum for all three combined? It's 453.
Caleb Hammer
And what's the interest?
Dax
I have no idea what I'm assuming.
Caleb Hammer
Generally fed rate plus like 2 or 3, so it's probably around 8%. This is going to take forever to pay off. $37,703.32. And you were only able to pay your taxes by being a W2, an individual.
Dax
Correct, which is why I'm now back to doing W2.
Caleb Hammer
I shouldn't be. It's the same basically. You pay. You sometimes pay a little bit more when you're self employed, but you also have more ways to get rid of some deduct some taxes, write off some things. What? I have notes. You have to owe Oklahoma taxes as well, but you don't even know how much.
Dax
Yeah, I can't log in. I've tried creating an account. I've had help trying to create an account. I can't figure it out. Call one of them for the first year.
Caleb Hammer
You looked so shocked when I said call.
Dax
Well, I mean, I could have, but I was trying to. They're gonna tell you to set the account up online anyway.
Caleb Hammer
Not necessarily. Did you call?
Dax
No, I did not.
Caleb Hammer
Well, how do you know that then?
Dax
Assuming.
Caleb Hammer
What the are you.
Dax
How much do you think you owe for 2021? It was just one year. There's the three years. The three years of 10 of contractor I would owe for every year.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. How much do you think you owe.
Dax
To Oklahoma in total? 20,000. I don't know.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. You think you owe 20,000 to Oklahoma?
Dax
Correct.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Separately from the IRS to confirm.
Dax
Correct.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Oh, okay. And you're not on a payment plan, but you will be eventually. But at least you're fleeing. What is this? You got texts asking for Oklahoma taxes from a Michigan phone number. You click the links in the text.
Dax
But they don't work.
Caleb Hammer
But you got scammed potentially.
Dax
No, the. The website, the links that they sent, I guess they expire for a certain period of time.
Caleb Hammer
Why would a Michigan phone number text you about Oklahoma tax?
Dax
Don't know. That's why I didn't call her back.
Caleb Hammer
Did you click the links?
Dax
Yeah, because the links go directly to a business in Oklahoma.
Caleb Hammer
You are going to fall for. For a fishing spam within a year. You're going to get like horny and fall for like a horny fishing scam.
Dax
Do you say so?
Caleb Hammer
Do you know what that is?
Dax
A phishing scam? Not really, no.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, buddy. Good luck. Good luck out there.
Dax
I don't get phone calls for that, so I wouldn't know.
Caleb Hammer
Huh?
Dax
I wouldn't. I don't get phone calls for like that all that's blocked.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Do you have an email?
Dax
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dax
I don't click on anything. I usually delete spam.
Caleb Hammer
I hope so.
Dax
Like that.
Caleb Hammer
Listen, buddy, I'd use a fizz card. That's all you can use because at least it only lets you spend on senior checking account. So you're not over your family member as well. Well, the IRS does. There's still more. Okay. The Hyundai. What's going on with the. In this?
Dax
That's the one that got hit with hail. That's my current vehicle.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. But it's all good now?
Dax
Yes, it's been repaired.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. $34,769.33. And you never use it, right?
Dax
Not really.
Caleb Hammer
You have a $769.88 minimum payment on a thing you never use. Why did you get a near $80,000 vehicle on something you never use someone.
Dax
To do with a warranty?
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dax
Because sometimes if I change companies, I'll drive to that terminal instead of.
Caleb Hammer
Make your decisions then based on if you actually do. What a weird preparation for something you never use. What do you think it's worth? You owe $34,769.33. What is it worth now?
Dax
20, 10,000 less.
Caleb Hammer
Also, it does not take into account the damage, but it's being generous. The value.
Dax
We have about 27,000.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Without even taking into account damage, we're seeing 23,000. It's probably worth five to $10,000 less though, because of the damage. This is the dumbest purchase ever. You can't. There's nothing to get out of this. You just have to pay this off or let it get repoed. And I might just let it get repoed. You never use it. Then get yourself a 10,000 hour car. Your credit. But your credit's already. Is that all your debts? What's the interest rate on that car? Do you know?
Dax
It should be like eight point something.
Caleb Hammer
Definitely not good. That's for sure. $377 in our checking account. Tacos. Apple bills. Getting some BS getting some BS. Apple bills.
Dax
Probably storage or.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Bring up your phone and don't take 10 minutes to do it. Noodles. Apple Bill. Getting some BS. BS. Girl Scouts. BS. Antonio's BS.
Jake
Apple Cash. Apple cash.
Caleb Hammer
Apple cash.
Jake
Zelling. Out. Zelling. I was selling out. Zelling. I was selling out. Zelling. Out. Zelling. I was selling out. Zelling. I was selling out. What the. Are you selling out every second of your life?
Dax
A month car payment. The $200 a month car payment.
Caleb Hammer
No because this is all in one month. You and it is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. About 800. Okay, so there's two appleville capcut icloud grinder. It expired only last month, so actually I was spot on. How do I always know these things? How do I always know these things? I don't want to jerk myself off, but how do I always know these things? Yeah, but right now this is AppleCare Plus, Cap Cut and iCloud Plus. But I know Face Tune, Body editor. That doesn't help a grinder.
Dax
We all know Choke ass apps.
Caleb Hammer
Cause then you just meet up with someone and then they're not what you think. And then it's just like listen, embrace the chub. Embrace the chub. The chubby chasers will find it. You'll lure. You'll lure with your immense gravity and it just.
Dax
They'll get ya.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, we don't need to do the magic Editor. Screen mirroring, Face lab, Bloom AI editor. Come on, chat box.
Jake
AI image generator. What are we doing?
Dax
Didn't work, so I was playing around with him.
Caleb Hammer
Very curious. We're gonna look at something in the post show. We're gonna look at something naughty. We'll keep it behind the paywall so we don't get demonetized. It's going to be very, very goody as the poster typically is. Z out, Zel out. All in one month. What was it?
Dax
What are the amounts?
Caleb Hammer
Hundreds, Hundreds. Hundreds. Twenty, fifty hundreds. It's just so many Z.
Dax
So if it's from bank of America, it's probably to my. To that SOFI account for food.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, okay. Here's the SOFI account.
Dax
That's going to be all half of.
Caleb Hammer
What I started at. Now it's $76.70. Done. Dunkin Donuts. B.S. b.S. Burger King. B.S. b. S. B.S. bojangles. Bojangles. Come the on dealer. B.S. b.s. Burger King. Arby's, Hardee's. B.S.B.S, arby's, Hitio Children's. Hitio Children's.
Dax
H.T.O. childress. The location. Childress up north.
Caleb Hammer
B.S. bS Chili's. Oh, for sake. Arby's. B.S. arby's, Wendy's. He to Children's, Arby's, Mitch's.
Dax
Barbecue.
Caleb Hammer
B.S.B. s, McDonald's, Denny's online. Out of all the Denny's to get you get the order online. Going in and getting some B.S. mcDonald's Denny's. At least that one wasn't online. Going in, getting some B.S. road Ranger, McDonald's Sonic Drive In. That wasn't a drink that time. Or you're double fisting taco cabana going in against the bs Dude. This is insane. What? This is disgusting. This is disgusting. Moving out of mom's house. Before we know it, $4,700 comes in on a monthly basis. Your new rent is 800 that it's going to be, right?
Dax
Correct. Cool.
Caleb Hammer
That includes all utilities and everything. How does food work at this house that you'll be moving into with mother? Does she buy? Do you buy? Is it a combined pile?
Dax
It might be combined.
Caleb Hammer
Do you actually know?
Dax
Not at the moment, no.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, then we'll budget like it's not. Combined debt payments. $1,743.88. I don't think it was your rent that was killing you. It's your inability to pay off your debt and spending more money on food than you can ever possibly eat. Except unfortunately, probably not true.
Dax
Phone bill 45.
Caleb Hammer
Not bad. I like that. Gas. Vroom vroom. Drive, drive. Personal.
Dax
Maybe 80amonth.
Caleb Hammer
Still quite a bit. Car insurance?
Dax
240.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. $300 for groceries. $100 for miscellaneous. Bull, $150. Include the pup in there to keep him occupied while driving. Do you have dog insurance?
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
You should. I will put in 40 bucks. Looks healthy. Pet food. How much?
Dax
105Amonth.
Caleb Hammer
105. Medical, health care. How much on a monthly basis?
Dax
I'm not sure because comes out of.
Caleb Hammer
My checkout co pays or anything though. No, no.
Dax
I do have five education. Three months. 30 bucks.
Caleb Hammer
Huh? Three months for.
Dax
No. Every three months.
Caleb Hammer
How much?
Dax
30 bucks.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so 10 bucks. Anything else that needs to be in your budget that I have not taken into account?
Dax
No.
Caleb Hammer
Do you think there's something here?
Dax
Too much spending.
Caleb Hammer
What? No way. It's just your f Cking spending. It's ridiculous. It's stupid, it's dumb, it's pointless. You need $3,513.88 to live. Didn't even have rent these last couple months. Been living in the truck. $1,186.12 is what you have left over to give you $186.12 of BS for the road. Thousand dollars left over on a monthly basis. Very good. Okay, well, yeah, but this is. I mean it's going to take 86 months to pay off the debt, pick up as many extra miles, trips, whatever you can do. You get paid per.
Dax
Per mile? Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Good take. You just grind it, grind it, grind it. If I don't want you to be single forever. But if you're choosing to be single Forever. Grind it out. Pay off this debt. Because right now it's going to take seven years, so you may as well do bankruptcy again at that point. But again, there's no point of actually doing that without changing your behavior because then you get here again and then we have the same conversation a couple years down the road. Change your behavior, then look at possible consolidations if you want to. Or grind this out. Bring in an extra thousand dollars a month. Pay this off in three years. How would I do that over the road, huh?
Dax
How would I bring in an extra thousand?
Caleb Hammer
Can you pick up more or are you max.
Dax
Get what they give me out, But I maxed out.
Caleb Hammer
So change roles. Pick up another job.
Dax
Okay. Maybe some of it online or something.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, whatever you can do. Whatever you can do. Change a different hauling job. I don't know, buddy. But if you bring. Listen, if you can bring an extra thousand dollars a month and you actually do this, and I actually gave you bull, it takes three and a half years. Listen, it's simple. This. This is ridiculous. If you just didn't do your spending, which were all your fault, you wouldn't be in this position. But you have to cut it back now or not only are you going to be dead soon. Dinner, but you're gonna be dying in debt, not leaving anything to the family, that's for sure. Guys, join us in the post show. We're gonna do something very naughty and there's probably some extra tea that we don't know about yet that the producers will bring in. And I think I'm gonna bring in the translator as well.

Podcast: Financial Audit
Host: Caleb Hammer
Guest: Dax
Date: June 11, 2025
In this episode, Caleb Hammer sits down with Dax, a 39-year-old long-haul truck driver from Oklahoma City, for what quickly becomes one of the Financial Audit’s most unique and winding sessions. Dax brings a complex web of personal finance struggles, notably with persistent debt, questionable money habits, and an ongoing difficulty accepting responsibility. The conversation, spiked with humor and blunt honesty, explores Dax’s financial entanglements—from sending money to ex-partners to racking up consumer debt, navigating IRS trouble, and recurrently blaming others for his financial woes.
