3.436 - 13.371 Tommy

Do you have disability? I do have disability. What percentage? I'm at 100%. What was your disability? Mental health and a bunch of joint issues. Shut the up. Shut the up.

0

13.571 - 22.745 Caleb Hammer

Guys, I am going to use my panic disorder for every excuse for everything I want to do for the rest of my life. I mean, you could have joined the military and gotten compensated for it. Also, how long have you guys been dating?

Chapter 2: How does the guest explain their financial situation?

22.865 - 29.194 Tommy

60.967 - 66.579 Tommy

Hi, I'm Tommy. I'm 31, coming from Houston, Texas, and welcome to Financial Audit.

0

68.303 - 79.691 Caleb Hammer

And I know, Chad, I'm with you as well. I wanted to have his fake name as Bing Bing. But we went with the most stereotypical white name I could think of, Tommy. Yeah, Tommy's a solid name.

79.811 - 82.998 Tommy

And whenever you have Asians coming up with Asian names.

83.018 - 84.401 Caleb Hammer

And he has such a cool first name too.

Chapter 3: What challenges did the guest face during their career?

84.421 - 88.93 Caleb Hammer

Such a cool first name. And we gave him the most generic fake white name ever.

0

89.291 - 94.281 Tommy

But do you know any Asians whose names don't end with E? Can you see me right now?

0

94.514 - 99.48 Caleb Hammer

As you were talking, I noticed they were very tiny. So I just wanted to make sure.

0

99.52 - 103.965 Tommy

They are open. I can see you. Asians are very efficient in what we do.

0

105.707 - 114.297 Caleb Hammer

Come on. You are. I know. So successful in everything, and I love it. I love it. Okay, so what do you do in Houston for a living? I really do appreciate you coming over.

114.597 - 126.714 Tommy

So I work as a quality control analyst trainer. I've been with my company for eight years, transferred to my current role six years ago. What do you make? Uh... About a year ago, I was making close to $200,000 a year.

Chapter 4: How does the guest justify their spending habits?

126.994 - 146.791 Tommy

And then overnight, the company flipped a switch and that got cut to $60,000 a year. $200,000 to $60,000? Yeah. $200,000 to $60,000 is crazy. When did that happen? Base pay was kind of meh. It happened about May of last year. So how the f*** have you not left? I don't have a college degree. So you have work experience, so you're 31 at this point.

0

146.811 - 151.115 Tommy

But everyone wants me to have a college degree or a master's degree.

0

151.135 - 162.745 Caleb Hammer

It says that on the application, but you with your experience, don't get me wrong, the labor market right now is not great. So yeah, that extra push would help. But you're still in that, but you're getting to that age range, age group. Well, how long have you been in this position?

0

163.426 - 170.573 Tommy

In this role, about six years. And specifically for the training role, I've been at it for close to four years. Okay.

0

170.974 - 178.484 Caleb Hammer

So recently I did apply for... So with that, that is enough resume experience to go and get a better job instead of dishonoring your family right now.

180.167 - 188.96 Tommy

I think my mom would be very proud of me. At least that's what she tells me. But I actually did apply to some other roles. One of our competitors actually that's newer on the market.

189.06 - 191.775 Caleb Hammer

You don't have a non-compete? Oh, okay.

191.896 - 197.344 Tommy

They never enforce it because we've lost a lot of people to turnover to some of our other competitors.

197.705 - 201.03 Caleb Hammer

Okay, well, $60,000, not great. What hits your account per paycheck right now?

Chapter 5: What are the consequences of buying art on a cruise?

2939.827 - 2947.641 Caleb Hammer

And if he did, I hope it's because something actually happened. And if he didn't, I hope that's good that he didn't get something because I hope he's not disabled.

0

2947.688 - 2954.377 Tommy

Well, I hope he's not disabled too. And again, this is for compensating people who aren't able to earn as much due to a disability.

0

2954.397 - 2966.372 Caleb Hammer

We're not going down that again. We already went around that circle. I'm just saying I didn't need to sign up to get an extra check. I'm not complaining about your check if you deserve it, but all you're saying is you got betrayed. So if I don't have the full context, I don't have the full context. Shut up.

0

2966.612 - 2984.053 Caleb Hammer

But you cannot say, I need to spend a shit ton of money on 12 cars and all this gun manufacturing because of my mental health. Everyone can just use that excuse for everything in this TikTok age. So how much have you spent on guns? Not a business. Manufacturing, not a business. No licenses.

0

2984.233 - 3005.462 Tommy

Probably throughout my entire adulthood, probably close to $40,000 or so. But I do end up profiting on some of it. Some of it? How? I thought you can't sell. What are you profiting? I can't sell the guns that I manufacture, but I also collect and buy other firearms. I go to gun shows. I have an eye for rare things. Sometimes you find a unicorn and you resell it for profit later on.

3005.682 - 3007.024 Caleb Hammer

Okay, I'd say half an eye, but...

3007.291 - 3008.774 Tommy

Narrow visioned, would you say?

3008.794 - 3017.693 Caleb Hammer

$40,000 on guns, some of them making collections. How much into the manufacturing?

3018.635 - 3022.423 Tommy

Between parts and the tooling, close to $15,000 or so.

Chapter 6: How does spending impact financial health?

3035.109 - 3045.243 Tommy

They're gorgeous stuff. I found a Russian parts kit from back in the Soviet Union days, turned it into a functioning firearm, and it's gorgeous, so I'm happy with it.

0

3047.786 - 3047.906 Caleb Hammer

Oh.

0

3048.908 - 3049.548 Tommy

Would you like to see?

0

3049.589 - 3068.772 Caleb Hammer

Nope. What else do you collect? Because I'm being told you spend a shit ton on collecting a lot of things. Oh, what? Luxury suits? No, not this one. It's Armani. It's Armani. Bro, it looks like literally anything you can get off the shelf at Walmart.

0

3069.132 - 3074.117 Tommy

Yeah, but part of it's the tag. Are you going to show someone a Walmart tag?

3074.137 - 3074.897 Caleb Hammer

How much was that?

Chapter 7: What lessons can be learned from financial mistakes?

3075.238 - 3075.738 Tommy

Take a guess.

0

3076.499 - 3079.582 Caleb Hammer

No, I wouldn't. I honestly wouldn't know. That's not me, man.

0

3079.602 - 3084.666 Tommy

It retails for $1,500, but I picked it up for $20. I'm a thrift shopper. Okay, well.

0

3084.832 - 3089.783 Caleb Hammer

Okay, I'm okay with that. $20 is okay. How much are you spending on suits?

0

3090.544 - 3094.252 Tommy

I thrift almost all my suits because you can get fantastic deals on them.

3094.272 - 3097.018 Caleb Hammer

And do you do Armani or Armani Express?

3098.332 - 3105.327 Tommy

Armani, the actual Italian stuff. And I do Josse Banks for their wool.

3105.407 - 3106.79 Caleb Hammer

Okay, none of this means anything to me.

Chapter 8: What is the Hammer Financial Score and its implications?

3106.91 - 3109.837 Caleb Hammer

I think you just spend money, and let me guess, that's for your mental health as well?

0

3110.177 - 3117.033 Tommy

No. For the suits, they can be used for a wide variety of situations. and a good suit will last you a lifetime.

0

3117.434 - 3132.784 Caleb Hammer

Great, and you're not doing it any justice right now. Why the f*** are you even wearing it? It looks horrendous. And number two, your friend also thinks you're completely lying on how you got this suit just to justify it and not look bad about likely spending $1,500 on it. Your friend who came here, who I saw.

0

3133.024 - 3141.973 Tommy

He can't prove I spent $1,500 on it. You can't prove. I can't prove I spent only $20 on it. You could if you gave me the receipt. I got this years ago.

0

3142.273 - 3143.754 Caleb Hammer

How'd you pay? Cash.

3145.856 - 3150.32 Tommy

It's a thrift shop. You ever heard the Macklemore song? I go to thrift shops all the time.

3150.34 - 3155.545 Caleb Hammer

My girlfriend likes thrifting. We use credit cards. I like cash. I carry cash with me.

3156.366 - 3157.667 Tommy

I think cash is still king.

3159.132 - 3181.73 Caleb Hammer

Objectively, no, actually. In fact, you just make everyone's life more miserable when you are checking out with cash and coins like a weirdo. Contractors love cash. Yeah, so they don't pay taxes. 29 years to pay off. This is so stupid. So stupid. So it's guns. And then to your mom, which would be a cash advance anyway. I don't understand that. Or did she spend it on the credit card?
