0:52 Caleb Hammer? To watch episodes of Financial Audit a week earlier, check us out on YouTube. Okay, I have some advice. Kevin should walk away.
0:57 Speaker 03 It doesn't bother me.
0:58 Speaker 04 I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and I have 50% equity. And if I walk away, you think this is okay? You go scot-free. You stole my money.
1:07 Speaker 03 I don't care or give a [bleep] about it being illegal. I make my money.
1:09 Caleb Hammer? If we all have a big safety net, we're able to take more risk.
1:12 Speaker 03 Her safety net doesn't recall me in doing anything that I'm doing.
1:15 Caleb Hammer? Well, you're fiance, you're about to be married, so that will be there.
1:18 Speaker 03 I don't rely on no woman to help me with nothing, period.
1:21 Caleb Hammer? He called you a fraud in the pre-interview.
1:22 Speaker 03 There's nothing fraud about me.
1:24 Caleb Hammer? He called you a fraud. I'm calling you a fraud. The audience will call you a fraud.
1:28 Speaker 03 Call me a fraud.
1:29 Caleb Hammer? And I've met a lot of people like you. I have family members like you. The reality is, and it has to come down to some price.
1:35 Speaker 03 You've never met anybody like me.
1:36 Caleb Hammer? I've met a lot of people like you. You're not unique.
1:38 Speaker 03 There's nobody like me, for one.

2:09 Caleb Hammer? Hello, my name's Kevin. I'm 30 years old. I live in Dallas, Texas. Hey, I'm Ricky, I'm forty-two.
2:17 Speaker 03 I'm forty-two years old. I live in Colleen, Texas.
2:19 Caleb Hammer? And I'm the bitch off camera. The woman off camera, named Cherry. Okay, and this is Financial Odd Guys. Okay, yeah. Weird one, weird intro, because I don't really, because you guys aren't dating. This isn't a gay couple thing.
2:34 Speaker 03 No.
2:35 Caleb Hammer? But you guys are on, so it's weird. And there is someone off camera who, um, the thing is, I can't raise my voice to her because she's a veteran.
2:43 Speaker 03 Not like that.
2:44 Caleb Hammer? And I can't be disrespectful. Those are her rules. So if you see me, be extra polite to her compared to any other guests on the show. That is why she's off camera. She has a name that I would normally insinuate belongs to professional dancers. But I will not insinuate that here because I cannot be disrespectful. But that is Cherry off camera. She will be talking to the mic. Hello, Cherry. Can you say hi to everyone?
3:04 Speaker 05 Hello, everyone.
3:05 Caleb Hammer? Okay, very good. What the am I looking at, guys? This is a weird thing going on here. I don't, what the, what is this?
3:13 Speaker 03 What do you mean, what is this? What do you mean?
3:14 Caleb Hammer? I don't know. We got a non, that aren't dating on my show. Plus, uh, Cherry off camera. Who am I talking to? What is happening here, guys?
3:25 Speaker 03 Okay, so this is my business partner.
3:27 Caleb Hammer? Oh, so it is your partner?
3:28 Speaker 03 Yeah, this is my business partner. Not in, not in relationship-wise.
3:31 Caleb Hammer? Hey, don't be homophobic.
3:32 Speaker 03 Yeah, we ain't, but you know, this is my business partner. This is my guy. This is my business, my guy, my friend.
3:39 Caleb Hammer? Well done.
3:39 Speaker 03 You know, and everything like that, you know? And that over there is, that over there is, is my partner in life.
3:46 Caleb Hammer? Well done. Well done. Well done. Forty-two and twenty-eight. Nice big gap there, so.
3:53 Speaker 03 I'm a good-looking guy.
3:54 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, good-looking guy.
3:55 Speaker 05 Successful woman.
3:56 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, yes, are you?
3:58 Speaker 05 Yes.
3:58 Caleb Hammer? Good, good, good. Well, actually, Cherry, I guess, if, what do you do for a living?
4:03 Speaker 05 A lot. I own a business. I actually am a veteran. I went to nursing school, two thousand twenty-one, and I'm in school again for my Bachelor's of Business in Management and Marketing.
4:13 Caleb Hammer? Is the business, she owns the business we're talking about?
4:15 Speaker 03 No.
4:16 Caleb Hammer? Okay, what's your business?
4:17 Speaker 05 Um, pole instructor, dance instructor.
4:21 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
4:21 Speaker 03 Yeah.
4:22 Caleb Hammer? No jokes will be made.
4:24 Speaker 03 You can make some jokes about the dance instructions.
4:26 Caleb Hammer? I don't think so. She was saying, I don't want to be disrespected, which is incredibly vague and horribly subjective.
4:35 Caleb Hammer? But I respect everyone's consent. That's good. How much you make for that, Sherri?
4:39 Speaker 05 Eight berries.
4:40 Caleb Hammer? Let's try to get a number. Let's try to get an average of a number.
4:43 Speaker 05 Are we talking monthly, hourly?
4:45 Caleb Hammer? Sure, let's do monthly.
4:47 Speaker 05 Monthly, about fifteen hundred.
4:50 Caleb Hammer? Okay, I thought I heard the word success somewhere. Okay, the veteran, are you on VA disability?
4:59 Speaker 05 Yes, I am.
5:00 Caleb Hammer? Uh, how much?
5:01 Speaker 05 Hmm, I'll keep that private.
5:03 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
5:04 Speaker 03 This is pretty good amount.
5:06 Caleb Hammer? I'm sure. Is she at a hundred percent?
5:08 Speaker 03 Yeah.
5:08 Caleb Hammer? What's your disability?
5:10 Speaker 05 PTSD and a lot of other things.
5:12 Caleb Hammer? What other things?
5:13 Speaker 05 Other things.
5:14 Caleb Hammer? What are they?
5:15 Speaker 03 She can't mention them on camera.
5:16 Speaker 05 I can't mention those.
5:17 Caleb Hammer? What's that?
5:18 Speaker 03 It's private.
5:18 Speaker 05 It's private. I'm moving sandbags fifteen feet that way. That's what I'm doing.
5:22 Caleb Hammer? Why? Doesn't look like I know. Well, so she can mention them, they're just private.
5:27 Speaker 03 But it's just very, very private.
5:28 Caleb Hammer? Do you actually have disability?
5:29 Speaker 05 Yes, I do.
5:30 Speaker 03 Yeah, that's why she got the hundred percent.
5:33 Caleb Hammer? That's not why.
5:33 Speaker 05 That's why I have a mortgage.
5:35 Caleb Hammer? No, you, huh? That doesn't make sense.
5:39 Speaker 03 You said that's my why, but it is why she has the disability because it's private. It's a private situation between her and why she got the hundred percent to get the disability.
5:48 Caleb Hammer? Well, sure, if she keeps it private, then it's private.
5:51 Speaker 03 Right, right, right.
5:51 Caleb Hammer? It's not instructed to be private.
5:53 Speaker 03 Yeah, it's not instructed to be private.
5:54 Caleb Hammer? So it's private by choice.
5:55 Speaker 05 Yes.
5:56 Caleb Hammer? Um, okay, so, well, I guess the first veteran in the history of the show, you know what? Good strategy because everyone else has outed themselves on this show of not actually having a disability. So you keep that to yourself and you keep collecting that check. I don't, that's the, that's the right way to do it. If we know how to use the system, am I right, girl? So I'm guessing it's about eight thousand dollars.
6:20 Caleb Hammer? Okay, good. So your success is disability?
6:23 Speaker 05 No. My success is everything that I do.
6:25 Caleb Hammer? Okay, well, fifteen hundred from and eight thousand from disability.
6:30 Speaker 05 Who said anything about?
6:31 Caleb Hammer? Pole dancing instruction?
6:32 Speaker 05 Instructor, that's two totally different things.
6:34 Caleb Hammer? Okay, fifteen hundred, eight thousand is disability. So your success is disability?
6:38 Speaker 05 No, it's not.
6:39 Caleb Hammer? Oh, is there a number somewhere else I'm missing?
6:41 Speaker 03 No, it's not a number you're missing.
6:43 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so that is...
6:45 Speaker 03 She makes money from the business.
6:47 Speaker 05 I make money from going to school. I make money from a lot of different things.
6:50 Caleb Hammer? From school?
6:50 Speaker 05 Yes, I'm in school as well.
6:52 Caleb Hammer? You make money from that?
6:53 Speaker 05 Yes, they pay, when you're a veteran, they pay you to go to school and your school's also...
6:56 Caleb Hammer? So you're not making money, you're getting it. Okay, and thank you for serving. What was your service?
7:01 Speaker 05 Ninety-two golf.
7:02 Caleb Hammer? Huh?
7:03 Speaker 03 Ninety-two golf.
7:03 Speaker 05 Ninety-two golf.
7:04 Caleb Hammer? Oh, I'm not informed.
7:05 Speaker 03 I don't know what it is.
7:06 Speaker 05 Culinary specialist.
7:07 Speaker 03 Yeah.
7:09 Caleb Hammer? This is our second cook on disability on the show, hundred percent?
7:12 Speaker 03 Yeah, I guess so.
7:20 Caleb Hammer? Okay. Okay, so sixteen percent of your income comes from your job?
7:26 Speaker 05 Excuse me?
7:26 Caleb Hammer? Sixteen percent of your income comes from your job?
7:30 Speaker 05 Maybe.
7:31 Caleb Hammer? That's successful. What do you do, Kevin?
7:33 Speaker 04 I'm a fraud analyst for a financial institution.
7:36 Caleb Hammer? Now, that's a job. What do you, what do you, what do you make?
7:40 Speaker 04 I make a hundred K and ten K bonus at the end annually.
7:44 Caleb Hammer? What hits on your monthly basis? And why am I incorporating you into this? I still don't understand why. And why should I collect your income? Because I want to see Miss Cherry, even though I'm picking on her, picking on her a little. And Ricky, I want them to do very well. You're in the middle.
8:02 Speaker 04 Yes, we'll dive deeper in how me and Ricky have met.
8:06 Caleb Hammer? I would hope so, because this is like, should I even incorporate your income? Am I going to write it down? Probably not, actually. I'll cross it out. Ricky, what do you do?
8:13 Speaker 03 What I do now and what I did before we met is two different things. What we did, what I did before...
8:18 Caleb Hammer? What do you do now? I'm trying to get your income.
8:20 Speaker 03 I run the company now.
8:21 Caleb Hammer? The company, not her pole education?
8:26 Speaker 03 It's pretty much, she's part of the business as well, too, because she's one of the models on our business. Yes, and we have a big...
8:32 Caleb Hammer? What's your business?
8:33 Speaker 03 We have an entertaining company. Yeah.
8:36 Caleb Hammer? What do you entertain?
8:37 Speaker 03 Uh, we have a party bus. We have a food truck. Um, we have a travel, uh, uh, travel bus. And we have a, um, podcast and you know.
8:46 Caleb Hammer? What the? Oh, what? Yeah. Your business does every business ever?
8:49 Speaker 03 Yes.
8:50 Caleb Hammer? All in one?
8:51 Speaker 03 It's, it's all in one. It's all.
8:52 Caleb Hammer? It's a little, uh.
8:53 Speaker 03 Yeah, it's a little.
8:54 Caleb Hammer? Usually businesses that try to do everything tend to not do anything well.
8:57 Speaker 03 Well, we do.
8:58 Caleb Hammer? I'm hoping that's not the case, cause I do genuinely, even though, and Jerry, I, I will apologize. I am picking you on you at the beginning. This is mostly because, um, gosh, that's when people tell me not to pick on them is when I actually want to pick on. If you said I could bully you, I would have actually probably been really nice, but I'm still holding back due to your, um, boundaries you said at the beginning. Um, but, uh, like I do genuinely want you guys to do well. I really do. Um, but usually businesses that try to do everything do not do everything well.
9:26 Speaker 03 Do you have you run a business before? You making an opinion or something into it?
9:30 Caleb Hammer? What was the, what was the 10,000 square foot building you walked through with 40 employees? Certainly not a business.
9:35 Speaker 03 No, I'm saying this is a podcast. Yes, it is a business.
9:37 Caleb Hammer? Hold on, the podcast is like 500 square feet of the 10,000 square feet building you walk through.
9:42 Speaker 03 All different businesses do different things.
9:44 Caleb Hammer? Yes.
9:44 Speaker 03 You know, just because you run one business don't mean you know how to run every business.
9:47 Caleb Hammer? Well, no, but it at least gives you insight better than most people. But in general, it is a general understanding in the world of business that if you try to do everything, you don't do everything right.
9:56 Speaker 03 Before you start to try to opinionate on somebody's business.
9:59 Caleb Hammer? No, that's not even an opinion. I'm saying in general, I'm not even saying your business doesn't work. I don't know your numbers yet. I'm just saying that's a concern going in, cause it is a general understanding that any skill of an individual, if he tries to do everything at once, he's not doing everything to a hundred percent. It's impossible.
10:16 Speaker 03 Our business is, it sounds different. It's probably because I didn't explain it right. You know.
10:20 Caleb Hammer? Oh, okay. Then try to explain it.
10:22 Speaker 03 We're, we're entertainment business as far as, um, if you hire me, I can evaluate and then change your life when it comes to a wedding or it comes to parties.
10:30 Caleb Hammer? Changed my life.
10:31 Speaker 03 You know, say, say for instance.
10:32 Caleb Hammer? Changed my life. I'm hiring you. Changed my life.
10:33 Speaker 03 Okay. Say for instance, you're, you're a bachelor. You have a wedding coming, right?
10:37 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
10:37 Speaker 03 So in our entertainment business, I can offer you the party bus. I can offer you the video, videography. I can offer you the food.
10:43 Caleb Hammer? Did you say didiography?
10:45 Speaker 03 Videography, videography.
10:46 Caleb Hammer? Cause that'd be fun. I'd pay for that.
10:50 Speaker 03 Videography.
10:50 Caleb Hammer? Get the oil flowing.
10:53 Speaker 03 I bet you like that.
10:57 Speaker 03 But like I said, I could offer you videography.
10:59 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
11:00 Speaker 03 I can offer you the food truck and what we have. And then I'll offer you the, you know, the bus ride there. And we could also offer you the party bus and we have models.
11:09 Caleb Hammer? But you said podcast.
11:10 Speaker 03 Yes, we do. We publicize most of our things that we're going on for the show. You know what I'm saying?
11:16 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so what do you make?
11:18 Speaker 03 You said, what do we make?
11:18 Caleb Hammer? What do you make?
11:19 Speaker 03 What do I make?
11:20 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, I mean, we'll get into the business, but yeah, what do you make?
11:23 Speaker 03 What I make and what I, I haven't made sort of profit yet with the business as a sort.
11:29 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so we're relying on her disability.
11:31 Speaker 04 I filed his previous tax year.
11:34 Caleb Hammer? Ah, this is why you brought your accountant.
11:38 Speaker 01 That's my quant.
11:39 Caleb Hammer? Your what?
11:40 Speaker 01 My quantitative.
11:41 Speaker 04 Well.
11:44 Speaker 03 It's not my accountant.
11:44 Speaker 04 So for 2025, we, I didn't get the chance to file his taxes. I don't, but for 2024.
11:52 Caleb Hammer? Did you file an extension?
11:54 Speaker 04 No.
11:54 Caleb Hammer? What the is wrong with you?
11:56 Speaker 04 I, I believe you filed.
11:57 Caleb Hammer? Aren't you the agent of the relationship?
12:01 Speaker 04 But for 2024, Ricky has roughly made around 25,000 roughly.
12:08 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so again, to be clear, for her disability, of which we don't know, is actually the only reason why you're able to go into business, because it's what pays the bill. So the taxpayer.
12:17 Speaker 05 I, I keep all of my money to myself, actually.
12:19 Caleb Hammer? How are you funding your life? Well, do you guys live in the same place?
12:23 Speaker 05 Yeah.
12:23 Caleb Hammer? Okay, well, I mean, come on, that's like your biggest usual percentage of cost of living.
12:28 Speaker 03 Well, you know, the cost of living and cost of running a business, two different things. I'm able to pay the bills.
12:31 Caleb Hammer? No, I'm saying how you pay your bills. And she says, well, I keep all my money independently.
12:35 Speaker 03 Because I'm still paying the bills of the house. And she keeps her money in her pocket.
12:39 Caleb Hammer? She doesn't pay a single cent to the mortgage?
12:42 Speaker 03 Yeah, she pays a little bit, but I don't have her pay most of it. Yeah.
12:45 Caleb Hammer? Why?
12:45 Speaker 03 I'm able to take care of most things.
12:47 Caleb Hammer? How? How can he do that off of $25,000 a year?
12:50 Speaker 03 That's what I make off of this business.
12:52 Caleb Hammer? Oh, well, I asked what you did. Oh.
12:55 Speaker 03 I didn't finish explaining it. You didn't let me, you cut me off.
12:57 Caleb Hammer? I do that.
12:58 Speaker 03 Yeah, so you gotta feel the whole story and find out exactly everything I'm doing.
13:03 Caleb Hammer? I'm story ready, buddy. Hit me.
13:05 Speaker 03 All right. You know what I'm saying? Like I told you, before I met him, I was already running a couple of businesses before the business I have right now that we're running together. I have a tow truck company. We have a car lot. You know what I'm saying? We have, we have a transport company and stuff like that.
13:17 Caleb Hammer? What do you make from that?
13:18 Speaker 03 From the transport company?
13:19 Caleb Hammer? Mm-hmm.
13:20 Speaker 03 Uh, transport company, I make about like $200,000 a year.
13:23 Caleb Hammer? Wow, okay, that's what gets your pocket?
13:26 Speaker 03 Yes.
13:27 Caleb Hammer? Oh, that's incredible. So, okay, let's just, let's just, in general, okay, is there anything else that brings in money?
13:34 Speaker 03 Is there anything else?
13:35 Caleb Hammer? Anything else, or is that, is that, okay, good. What do you make on a monthly basis? What is your pocket monthly?
13:40 Speaker 03 Uh, pocket monthly now, since I slowed down the company, uh, it's, once I slowed down the company.
13:45 Caleb Hammer? So it's not $200,000? That's the number we were going off of, but what is it now?
13:49 Speaker 03 I quit the company to run this company.
13:51 Caleb Hammer? How much do you make, buddy?
13:53 Speaker 03 I, well, we just told you how much I made.
13:55 Caleb Hammer? 25,000 a year?
13:57 Speaker 03 On this company, yes.
13:58 Caleb Hammer? But you said you quit together. What do you make from the previous company now?
14:01 Speaker 03 From the previous company now? From the previous company is, shouldn't be no more than probably like, every month is, um, I want to say about $10,000.
14:10 Caleb Hammer? Okay, well, that's good. That, that actually makes us.
14:13 Speaker 04 Is this from the car lot?
14:14 Speaker 03 This is from the trucking company and, uh, the travel, traveling company.
14:19 Speaker 04 You made $10,000 this month?
14:21 Caleb Hammer? Would you know?
14:22 Speaker 03 You said, would?
14:23 Speaker 04 I didn't know that.
14:24 Caleb Hammer? Would you?
14:25 Speaker 04 Would I know that? Ah.
14:26 Speaker 03 It's not the same part of the business.
14:28 Caleb Hammer? You were filing his taxes.
14:29 Speaker 03 It's not the same business.
14:31 Caleb Hammer? No, but you were filing his taxes or the business taxes?
14:33 Speaker 04 Uh, both.
14:34 Caleb Hammer? Okay, how much did you make last year?
14:36 Speaker 04 Uh, for 2025, um, I didn't file his taxes this.
14:40 Caleb Hammer? But you're not even preparing it?
14:43 Speaker 04 Um.
14:44 Caleb Hammer? Who filed your taxes this year?
14:46 Speaker 03 Um, I filed my taxes this year.
14:48 Caleb Hammer? You filed your taxes?
14:49 Speaker 03 Well, he got the paperwork and filed. I didn't file taxes this year.
14:52 Caleb Hammer? So, file, taxes had not filed for 2025?
14:54 Speaker 03 No, it's not filed.
14:55 Caleb Hammer? That's not good.
14:57 Speaker 03 Yeah.
14:58 Caleb Hammer? He got the paperwork?
14:59 Speaker 03 Well, for the, for the trucking company?
15:01 Caleb Hammer? Why would you file his taxes? Buddy has to pay his taxes.
15:03 Speaker 04 For 2024 or 2025?
15:06 Caleb Hammer? Five. He said he gave you the paperwork. Aren't you his money guy?
15:10 Speaker 04 So I filed through my CPA and.
15:13 Caleb Hammer? So you're CPA for him?
15:15 Speaker 04 My own CPA and he files our business taxes for 2025. But I didn't, my CPA refuses to file his taxes.
15:25 Caleb Hammer? Well, I think that would be fair.
15:27 Speaker 03 His CPA is asshole. We got into it, so.
15:30 Caleb Hammer? How is he an asshole for not wanting to file your taxes through not you?
15:33 Speaker 03 I don't know.
15:34 Speaker 04 I've been with my CPA for 10 years and I've never seen him yelled over the phone speaking to him.
15:40 Caleb Hammer? Why was he yelling?
15:41 Speaker 03 I don't know.
15:42 Caleb Hammer? Did you yell?
15:43 Speaker 03 Did I yell? No.
15:44 Speaker 04 Ricky didn't yell, but my CPA did.
15:47 Caleb Hammer? What was he yelling about?
15:48 Speaker 04 He was accusing Ricky of some mortgage that I wasn't aware of, but you weren't aware of either.
15:55 Speaker 03 Me either.
15:56 Caleb Hammer? Accusing of a mortgage?
15:57 Speaker 03 Yeah.
15:58 Caleb Hammer? Why did he yell about it? What was the accusation he was making?
16:00 Speaker 03 He made something personal that I don't know what for he made personal about some mortgage that I had that I wasn't paying and I told him I didn't have.
16:07 Caleb Hammer? Why did he take it personal?
16:08 Speaker 03 I don't know.
16:11 Speaker 03 He was there in person with him, not me.
16:13 Speaker 04 We filed his taxes 2024, and I think somewhere in between after that, I don't know what happened between you and my CPA, but it just kind of left a bad taste in him. And my CPA told me.
16:25 Caleb Hammer? CPA talked to her?
16:27 Speaker 04 No.
16:27 Speaker 03 No.
16:27 Caleb Hammer? Hmm, because that would trigger me too.
16:29 Speaker 04 Yeah, and he told me, go find a different CPA. I'm not going to file his taxes. So.
16:36 Caleb Hammer? Okay, did you find another CPA, buddy? We're in June.
16:39 Speaker 03 Yeah.
16:40 Speaker 04 He did.
16:41 Caleb Hammer? And?
16:42 Speaker 03 I'm trying to get things together right now.
16:46 Caleb Hammer? What did he make in 24?
16:47 Speaker 04 Ricky?
16:48 Caleb Hammer? Yes.
16:49 Speaker 04 2024, the same thing, 25,000, but for 2023, it was 45,000.
16:56 Caleb Hammer? Okay, buddy, you're not netting 10,000 hours a month.
16:59 Speaker 03 Okay, I'm not netting $10,000 a month on paper.
17:02 Caleb Hammer? What?
17:02 Speaker 03 No.
17:03 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so you're tax frauding.
17:05 Speaker 03 I'm not tax frauding. It's just some money that I make from my trucks that are not on paper. I have trucks that are not on paper that makes money sometimes.
17:13 Caleb Hammer? Help me out here, Kevin.
17:16 Speaker 03 How can he help you out when he doesn't know about the drugs?
17:19 Caleb Hammer? Oh, I thought he did because he filed the taxes. Do you not know?
17:21 Speaker 03 How are we gonna file taxes on something that he doesn't know about?
17:24 Caleb Hammer? I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
17:26 Speaker 03 That's what I'm telling you.
17:27 Speaker 04 I'm not part of that trucking.
17:28 Speaker 03 He's not part of the trucking.
17:29 Speaker 04 Yeah.
17:30 Speaker 03 I had this way before he even came.
17:32 Caleb Hammer? Kevin, why are you here? You're a part of the current business?
17:35 Speaker 04 Yes.
17:35 Caleb Hammer? That's our take. Okay, how are you a part of it?
17:39 Speaker 04 I'm more of his, how you say, angel investor slash tech side of the.
17:44 Caleb Hammer? Tech side?
17:45 Speaker 04 Technical support for him at least.
17:49 Caleb Hammer? It's racist.
17:50 Speaker 03 You said it's racist?
17:51 Speaker 04 Wait.
17:51 Speaker 03 Oh, you stupid.
17:53 Speaker 04 Wait, how's that?
17:54 Caleb Hammer? That is not racist. Here's tokenation for tech.
17:57 Speaker 04 Oh, I didn't realize that.
17:59 Caleb Hammer? I have one and his name is also Kevin. No, his name's Sean.
18:05 Speaker 04 I didn't realize that.
18:06 Caleb Hammer? It's okay. No, that's good. That's good. That's good. Okay, so you invested?
18:11 Speaker 04 Yes, we should probably go back. How me and Ricky met? We met in 2022 at clinical trial study and we stayed at a facility for three whole weeks. We couldn't leave and that's when we got to know him, me and Ricky.
18:25 Caleb Hammer? What the f**k were they studying?
18:27 Speaker 03 What was that study about? I forgot.
18:28 Speaker 04 It was for an antidepressant medication that they were.
18:32 Caleb Hammer? Okay, worked on him, failed with you.
18:35 Speaker 04 And the payout was really nice and it was three weeks, but at the very last, I think the second to last day, you weren't able to complete the study.
18:45 Speaker 03 No, I completed the study.
18:46 Speaker 04 You left the program early and you have verbal altercation with one of the staff nurses.
18:52 Caleb Hammer? Oh, so fighting is in your history.
18:55 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah, most definitely, for sure.
18:57 Caleb Hammer? But it was the CPA?
18:58 Speaker 03 Huh? I meant it was the CPA, yeah, but yeah, I kick ass.

19:34 Caleb Hammer? Why continue antisocial behavior once you leave the place of badness?
19:38 Speaker 03 I don't complete antisocial behavior because-
19:41 Caleb Hammer? You said you're kicking ass.
19:42 Speaker 03 I said I will and I can.
19:43 Caleb Hammer? Why?
19:44 Speaker 04 If he was in front of my CPA, he would-
19:47 Caleb Hammer? Handle it with your brain.
19:48 Speaker 03 I do.
19:48 Caleb Hammer? Why go back to your evolutionary traits?
19:51 Speaker 03 I didn't go back to my evolutionary traits.
19:52 Caleb Hammer? If you're just fighting people in the street, that's not good.
19:55 Speaker 03 I said I can. That doesn't mean I may I use it.
19:57 Caleb Hammer? But you don't. He just said he got in an altercation.
19:59 Speaker 03 Because he got in an altercation with me. With me. I never yelled at him or said anything to him, period. Listen critically-
20:05 Caleb Hammer? Well, that's the second time so far.
20:06 Speaker 03 Mm-hmm. I never said nothing to him, period. I didn't yell at him. I didn't say nothing to him. The man yelled at me and started talking shit.
20:13 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
20:14 Speaker 03 I didn't say nothing to him.
20:15 Caleb Hammer? Why would the guy at the clinical trial- Why would your CPA and why would the guy at the clinical trial talk shit to you?
20:19 Speaker 03 I don't know.
20:20 Caleb Hammer? So, everyone's talking shit to you?
20:21 Speaker 03 I don't know. Try being black in America. That's what you do.
20:26 Caleb Hammer? I can attempt it. I just think I would get canceled very quick if I did what was necessary.
20:30 Speaker 03 Yeah.
20:31 Caleb Hammer? Blackface.
20:33 Speaker 04 But to go to what you said, at the end of the trial study, Ricky proposed me a business idea and I was bored. I was 26 years old. I just thought, okay, sure, let's start this recording studio.
20:44 Caleb Hammer? Sure, that was a while ago, okay.
20:45 Speaker 04 This recording studio and it's a cool idea. We'll have inside a mobile bus, RV or bus.
20:52 Caleb Hammer? Mobile, yeah.
20:53 Speaker 03 It became bigger than what it needed to be and it started to do more. We started the recording studio. I bought a big giant bus and my little brother at the time was rapping and he was doing some music and stuff like that and we had a bunch of other artists with-
21:07 Caleb Hammer? Compton.
21:09 Speaker 03 I guess so, you know, but, you know, he was all doing music and stuff like that. It was doing some things, but I didn't know too much about music. I owned 18 acres of land at the time, on a property we were living at and-
21:22 Caleb Hammer? That's the Uno reverse card.
21:24 Speaker 03 The Uno reverse card? What you mean?
21:27 Caleb Hammer? Keep going.
21:30 Speaker 03 You know what I'm saying, at the time Cherry came up with a nice idea to be able to do a smoke shop.
21:40 Caleb Hammer? Always degenerate behavior is what's in your head.
21:43 Speaker 03 So, you know, we wanted to utilize the land, so we started utilizing the land to get a hemp production license. You know what I'm saying?
21:50 Caleb Hammer? Very interesting one Cherry.
21:53 Speaker 03 So, we got a hemp production license.
21:55 Caleb Hammer? I think I'm in love.
21:56 Speaker 03 We got a hemp production license and we started growing hemp, you know.
22:01 Speaker 04 But I, I had no idea. I was sort of invested in this podcast studio or recording studio. That didn't really turn out the way it panned out. And then next day I know, hey, we're doing a smoke shop business now.
22:15 Caleb Hammer? Ah, classic pivot.
22:16 Speaker 04 I didn't put my money into it knowing that, but now, hey.
22:21 Caleb Hammer? What did you put in?
22:23 Speaker 04 At that time or at?
22:24 Caleb Hammer? Just, yeah, what have you put in overall? Yeah, sure. Actually up until that time.
22:28 Speaker 04 Up until that first year, how much did I give you?
22:32 Caleb Hammer? Thirty thousand and you pivoted the business without his knowledge?
22:35 Speaker 03 It wasn't a thirty thousand dollar cash. It was a credit card that he had handed us.
22:40 Speaker 04 No, not credit card initially. It was upfront capital. I remember giving you two grand for some tires for the bus.
22:48 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:48 Speaker 04 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the five grand for the music instrument tool.
22:53 Speaker 03 I thought we used the card on it.
22:54 Speaker 04 The what?
22:55 Speaker 03 I thought we used the card on it.
22:57 Speaker 04 Did we?
22:57 Speaker 03 Yeah, we used the card on it.
22:58 Caleb Hammer? Doesn't matter. It was thirty thousand bucks either way. What percentage did he own giving his credit card?
23:02 Speaker 03 He said what now?
23:03 Caleb Hammer? What percentage did he get to own?
23:05 Speaker 03 On the credit card?
23:06 Caleb Hammer? No, if he gave the credit card, what percentage of the business did he get to own?
23:09 Speaker 03 We were fifty fifty in the business.
23:11 Caleb Hammer? Fifty fifty, okay.
23:11 Speaker 04 Yeah.
23:12 Caleb Hammer? So, labor, money.
23:13 Speaker 04 Right, right.
23:14 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
23:15 Speaker 03 Yeah, we were fifty fifty throughout the whole business, just like that.
23:17 Caleb Hammer? Okay, that's good. That's fine.
23:20 Speaker 03 I seen it wasn't making a dollar, it wasn't making any sense. So I'd made a pivot and made a decision to make the dollar back, you know.
23:26 Speaker 04 I still haven't got a dime that, that first year.
23:28 Caleb Hammer? Oh, just the first year?
23:30 Speaker 04 Overall.
23:31 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
23:32 Speaker 04 Overall.
23:32 Caleb Hammer? You own a percentage of her disability?
23:35 Speaker 04 No.
23:36 Caleb Hammer? I'll be paying for it forever, so.
23:39 Speaker 03 But like I said, we uh, we took a pivot and we changed it, changed the business. I bought a second bus. I bought a second bus to be able to do a sm- a smoke shop because we didn't want to.
23:48 Caleb Hammer? But he didn't consent to this, even though he's a 50% owner?
23:51 Speaker 04 I was, I was sort of dragged along in a way.
23:54 Speaker 03 I bought it with my own cash. I bought, got the bus and I made it.
23:57 Caleb Hammer? Still, he's a 50% owner.
23:59 Speaker 03 Yeah, but it didn't have really nothing to do with the business until we, we made it part of the business.
24:04 Caleb Hammer? Is there a legal, uh, what's the legal, what's the paperwork we've done around the signing of this business?
24:08 Speaker 04 There's, there's, there's none.
24:09 Caleb Hammer? Why? It is not very difficult to get just some kind of contract attorney in the business world, thousand bucks.
24:15 Speaker 04 I should have known better, but I'm, I was 26, 27. We should have had an operating agreement.
24:21 Caleb Hammer? At that point, what are we doing? I started this at like 27. I was, I got shit figured out. What are we doing? Okay, but even still today, you're 30.
24:29 Speaker 04 Hmm.
24:31 Speaker 04 Right, right.
24:32 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
24:33 Speaker 03 As far as like I said, I wanted to try to take a pivot in the business to do something. So I took part of my money to be able to uh, open up the part of the hemp business, get into the smoke shop and get into the things.
24:43 Caleb Hammer? Pivot, but listen, that is, money can be made.
24:46 Speaker 03 It wasn't, it wasn't.
24:47 Caleb Hammer? Wait, but a lot of new laws in Texas. How's that impacting?
24:49 Speaker 03 It impacted, it destroyed it.
24:51 Speaker 04 It destroyed it.
24:52 Speaker 03 It destroyed it mainly.
24:53 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
24:54 Speaker 04 And now we're doing another pivot.
24:55 Speaker 03 Yeah.
24:56 Caleb Hammer? Oh, new pivot.
24:57 Speaker 03 Yeah, because we were making anywhere from 400,000, maybe 500, 600,000 dollars a year for the business that we have with the smoke and everything.
25:05 Caleb Hammer? Uh, you didn't see a dime?
25:06 Speaker 04 I didn't see a dime.
25:07 Caleb Hammer? How's that fair?
25:08 Speaker 04 It's, it's very.
25:09 Caleb Hammer? Were you taking distributions? Was he taking distributions?
25:11 Speaker 04 No, Ricky say he would reinvest it, but I believe the profit was.
25:15 Caleb Hammer? Did he say on that?
25:16 Speaker 04 The profit margin was pretty slim.
25:18 Speaker 03 It was, it was, it was because.
25:19 Caleb Hammer? How much profits were there?
25:21 Speaker 03 There wasn't too many because we, we kept escalating with the business. So this.
25:26 Caleb Hammer? Okay, but if there were not too many profits, how many were there?
25:30 Speaker 03 Okay, so.
25:30 Caleb Hammer? It sounds like there were some profits.
25:32 Speaker 03 It wasn't.
25:34 Caleb Hammer? Well, he said not too many, meaning there were some.
25:36 Speaker 03 Yo.
25:36 Caleb Hammer? Are you saying there are none?
25:38 Speaker 03 Okay, so there were some profits, but then it wasn't at the same time because it kept escalating with the business. So if you invested, you know, saying $50,000 into a bus.
25:48 Caleb Hammer? Yeah.
25:49 Speaker 03 You know, now I want to try to get that money back. So when we start to get that money back, to try to recoup that, that, that type of profit on one business.
25:58 Caleb Hammer? How's your perspective here, buddy? This seems like what the did I get a part of? Drowning in student loans with massive interest rates? I see it on the show all the time. People get a loan to advance their careers, only to be left with sky high interest rates and crazy minimums that leave their paycheck gutted. Maybe you've already gone to a normal lender to try to refinance your private student loans, and they looked at your less than perfect credit score and hung up the phone. Maybe part of you even thought, yeah, that tracks. I guess I'm stuck. Stop it. You don't deserve to be buried in a high interest loan for the rest of your life because you hit a rough patch. The banks aren't rejecting you because you're a lost cause. They're rejecting you because you're not profitable enough for them at a manageable rate. That's where Y Refi comes in. Y Refi works specifically with borrowers who can't get refinancing through traditional lenders. It's their whole thing.
26:43 Caleb Hammer? They refinance private student loans, so you're only paying interest between 0.1% and 5.99%. And they legally cannot charge you more than that. They'll even customize your payments to get you out of debt at a pace that works for you. And if you need a co-borrower released from your loan, they've got a program for that, too. Plus, their team is in Phoenix, Arizona, so when you call them, you talk to a real person. It only takes three minutes to check your rates, and it doesn't impact your credit score. If you've been told no a million times, try Y Refi. Head to yrefy.com/hammer. That is Y R E F Y dot com slash hammer. Or call 888-Y-REFI-78. That is 888-Y-REFI-78. Break free from the high interest trap and get your finances under control once and for all. Ready for a little Hammer After Dark?

28:51 Caleb Hammer? Hundreds of thousands?
28:53 Speaker 04 Uh huh.
28:53 Caleb Hammer? What have you spent?
28:54 Speaker 03 Hundreds of thousands.
28:55 Speaker 04 I don't really see the numbers there, but I'll just take your word for it, but I haven't seen those numbers.
29:01 Caleb Hammer? Wait, so you actually don't even believe he has invested hundreds?
29:04 Speaker 04 I honestly, I don't.
29:06 Speaker 03 I don't know how, when we got the material to be able to.
29:08 Caleb Hammer? Is there proof?
29:10 Speaker 03 Yes, most definitely, for sure.
29:11 Caleb Hammer? On paper?
29:11 Speaker 03 On paper and there is evidence.
29:13 Caleb Hammer? But he hasn't seen it.
29:15 Speaker 03 He's seen it. He has it.
29:17 Speaker 04 I have it?
29:17 Speaker 03 He's even seen it in numbers.
29:19 Speaker 04 Which one?
29:20 Speaker 03 Okay, you have the financial reports for everything that we have, period, point blank.
29:25 Speaker 04 The ones you.
29:25 Speaker 03 The actual.
29:26 Speaker 04 The ones you sold or what? How did you come up? What did you sold? That's a hundred thousand.
29:31 Speaker 03 Okay, what have I sold with this a hundred thousand? I sold my property, I sold my house.
29:35 Speaker 04 For the business?
29:36 Speaker 03 Yes.
29:37 Speaker 04 What else?
29:38 Speaker 03 I sold my tow truck and my 18 wheeler.
29:42 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so that's not making any money anymore. Did the house have a mortgage on it?
29:45 Speaker 03 I have four 18 wheelers. And four tow trucks.
29:49 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, all over the place, which.
29:52 Speaker 03 I'm not all over the place.
29:53 Caleb Hammer? Kind of, I mean, you're not filing your taxes, Ricky.
29:56 Speaker 03 I didn't file my taxes this year.
29:58 Caleb Hammer? Yes, it's June. You didn't file an extension. You can't tell me what you, you know what you're doing.
30:03 Speaker 03 My life moves a certain way and.
30:04 Caleb Hammer? If you're, okay, a part of that life is always filing your taxes, Ricky.
30:08 Speaker 03 Yeah, filing your taxes and all that kind of good stuff and whatever like that. Not a lot of people in America file their taxes.
30:12 Caleb Hammer? Buddy, you're a business owner. You have to. You're gonna get audited.
30:14 Speaker 03 Okay, let them audit me. They can't audit nothing that they can't take from.
30:18 Caleb Hammer? Uh oh, Ricky, uh oh, Kevin, you hear that? Let them audit you.
30:22 Speaker 03 Yeah.
30:23 Speaker 04 That's.
30:23 Caleb Hammer? You excited?
30:24 Speaker 04 I don't want to be audited, so.
30:26 Speaker 03 I'm not scared of the audit. I'm not scared of anything that's gonna happen.
30:29 Caleb Hammer? Really? Cause I mean, like, all your off paper making money, I would actually be actually terrified.
30:34 Speaker 03 You've never been in a predicament, I am, man.
30:36 Caleb Hammer? What do you mean? What predicament?
30:38 Speaker 03 Okay, I'm struggling with certain things that destroyed our company when it came to the hemp business. Yes.
30:43 Caleb Hammer? Okay, I mean, I've gotten canceled before. It's kind of similar.
30:47 Speaker 03 No, it's not the same thing.
30:48 Caleb Hammer? In a different way. I mean, it's, there's different struggles.
30:51 Speaker 03 You also probably make more money than we do too.
30:53 Caleb Hammer? Well, of course, I'm better at business.
30:57 Speaker 03 No, I don't know about that part.
30:58 Caleb Hammer? Well, objectively, I mean, objectively.
31:01 Speaker 03 Some people get lucky, some people don't.
31:03 Caleb Hammer? You think this is all luck?
31:05 Speaker 03 I don't think it's all luck, not at all. A lot of people do hard work, but what I'm saying is that my hard work is better than my hard work.
31:12 Caleb Hammer? Your hard work's better than your hard work?
31:13 Speaker 03 My, my hard.
31:14 Caleb Hammer? Her dancing's better than her dancing.
31:16 Speaker 03 My hard work is different. That's what I'm trying to say. And then your hard work.
31:20 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, all that matters in the end is results, though.
31:22 Speaker 03 Yeah.
31:22 Caleb Hammer? I don't care if you work and produce nothing, then you're still a failure, even if you worked hard.
31:29 Caleb Hammer? So we don't judge people based on how much work they do. We just judge based on results.
31:32 Speaker 03 Just because you failed, you gotta come back up and you gotta get it again.
31:34 Caleb Hammer? Sure, but if you failed, you're a failure.
31:36 Speaker 04 Anyways, four years and I still haven't seen a dime yet.
31:39 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, that's a big deal when you spend hundreds of thousands and he says he spent hundreds of thousands. Did you have a mortgage on that property?
31:44 Speaker 03 Yes.
31:45 Caleb Hammer? That was my question.
31:45 Speaker 03 Yes.
31:46 Caleb Hammer? Okay, what was the profit from that property when he sold it?
31:48 Speaker 03 Uh, two hundred and sixteen thousand.
31:51 Caleb Hammer? And you put it all out of the business?
31:53 Speaker 03 No, we bought another house.
31:56 Caleb Hammer? Are you hearing that Kevin? He just said he sold the house to put it into the business. Kevin, are you following this? I appreciate you for being truthful, but I think you just yourself.
32:08 Speaker 03 No, we bought another house. We have the equity and the property to be able to stand for it and what I spent on my money and the receipts and everything.
32:14 Caleb Hammer? He said he sold the house to put it into the business.
32:15 Speaker 04 Aren't you, aren't you renting?
32:16 Speaker 03 No, renting what?
32:18 Speaker 04 I thought, okay, I must have been mistaken. I thought you were renting.
32:20 Speaker 03 Very much mistaken. There's a lot of things that you don't listen to that you say you listen to that you don't. You know what I'm saying? And I listen to a lot of stuff that we actually have and we do.
32:29 Speaker 05 We've never rented anything in the amount of time that we've been together. Besides a car. I said, we've never rented anything besides a car in the entire time of me and Ricky's relationship.
32:38 Speaker 03 We don't rent nothing. We bought everything that we have.
32:40 Speaker 04 Okay, it's my bad. I just thought of something else.
32:43 Caleb Hammer? He says you don't listen to anything. What does that mean?
32:45 Speaker 04 I guess I get, I don't listen. I guess that's what he says. I just don't listen.
32:48 Caleb Hammer? Oh, you're a cuck. Okay. You want that as a business partner? I guess he has an unlimited blank check.
32:54 Speaker 04 ATM.
32:56 Speaker 03 No, not nothing like that.
32:57 Caleb Hammer? Pushover too. Why? You got the jawline, you're a handsome guy. I think you could stand up for yourselves. He might take antisocial behavior out on you if you speak up, but.
33:05 Speaker 03 I've never got into it with him like that.
33:07 Caleb Hammer? I'm joking. I'm joking. You're a good guy, I think. Maybe, I don't know. He might be kind of abusing his finances, but um, really? You're just gonna? Is that how you've been this entire relationship? Just a pushover?
33:20 Speaker 04 It's been a lot of weight on my shoulders.
33:22 Caleb Hammer? Why continue to put money into this?
33:25 Speaker 04 Part of me thinks it's gonna work out if I keep pouring more into this.
33:28 Caleb Hammer? Okay, tell me how it's gonna work out. Give me the strategy. Give me the, how does it work out?
33:36 Speaker 04 Initially, I thought it was, because I thought.
33:37 Caleb Hammer? Okay, you've put hundreds of thousands since that initial.
33:40 Speaker 03 Again, again, again, when it comes to working out this business.
33:43 Caleb Hammer? He's gonna speak for you.
33:45 Speaker 04 Every time I bring it up to Ricky, he assures me that we're gonna make millions every single year.
33:51 Caleb Hammer? Oh, millions Ricky.
33:52 Speaker 04 And even though our taxes that we made 550 or 450,000 dollars in sales, I just, that's the only indicator that.
34:01 Caleb Hammer? In sales, but not profits.
34:03 Speaker 04 Yeah.
34:04 Caleb Hammer? Which I'm really very curious what the IRS thinks about that. So that's the only thing that's
34:10 Speaker 03 When you're starting from scratch and you have the business,
34:13 Caleb Hammer? Uh huh.
34:13 Speaker 03 You know what I'm saying? Well, you head out, you want to, but I'm telling you.
34:15 Caleb Hammer? Well, I mean, you're just acting like I didn't.
34:17 Speaker 03 Just like you have all this equipment here, you have to buy all this stuff.
34:20 Caleb Hammer? Yes, but I funneled it with profit.
34:22 Speaker 03 Yeah, no, you didn't. What business?
34:24 Caleb Hammer? Well, I made sure I could actually pay my bills.
34:26 Speaker 03 Okay, but it took you some time to do it, didn't it?
34:29 Caleb Hammer? Yes, but I didn't rush in by buying everything and not making a penny.
34:32 Speaker 03 I didn't rush in it either.
34:34 Caleb Hammer? He hasn't gotten a penny.
34:35 Speaker 03 Okay.
34:36 Caleb Hammer? In four years.
34:36 Speaker 03 You're listening to half of the part and you're
34:38 Caleb Hammer? Tell me the other half.
34:39 Speaker 03 You're supplicating and you're talking about things that you
34:42 Caleb Hammer? Tell me the other half. What's a supplicate?
34:44 Speaker 03 Okay, okay. I'm gonna leave. You know what?
34:49 Speaker 03 We're gonna play word things and we're gonna talk about business.
34:51 Caleb Hammer? No, I just don't know what supplicate is. You said I'm supplicating.
34:54 Speaker 03 Okay, don't worry about it. Listen.
34:55 Caleb Hammer? Okay, I'll move on.
34:56 Speaker 03 Yeah, like I said, when it comes to this business and when it comes to the things that we're doing and how you do it, we start from the ground up and I bought every single thing and put towards this business to make a profit.
35:09 Caleb Hammer? With this money?
35:10 Speaker 03 No, with my money as well. And I know that I spent way much more. I came out of my pocket.
35:15 Caleb Hammer? How much more?
35:17 Speaker 03 Uh, at least about over about maybe a hundred, a hundred or fifty thousand dollars more. I know that for sure.
35:22 Caleb Hammer? What's the total?
35:24 Speaker 03 You're saying a hundred and fifty thousand?
35:25 Caleb Hammer? No, total.

35:52 Speaker 03 Total, what we owe?
35:54 Caleb Hammer? No, no, how much have you put in overall?
35:55 Speaker 03 Total, with both of us, we put into this business probably at least about three hundred something thousand dollars.
36:00 Caleb Hammer? Okay, supplicate is to ask for something humbly, earnestly, or submissively. I don't remember doing that. Maybe I did. Was I humbly asking for something?
36:08 Speaker 03 Listen.
36:09 Caleb Hammer? So what's the other half? You said there's a second half. I really want to hear other than I'm building from the ground up. What's the other half? I need some like information here.
36:15 Speaker 05 It takes more than money to run a business. So let's, let's, let's for a second, take money out of the situation. What are we doing to help the business? Every party that's in charge of the business? Me, Kevin, Ricky, without the money, what, what are we doing to help our business build as far as in website, as far as in making flyers for our price lists, as far as marketing, as far as getting out there, letting people know about our company? Me and Ricky are the only two people doing that.
36:43 Caleb Hammer? So what are you doing? I wasn't aware you're a part of the business. What are you doing a part of the business?
36:47 Speaker 05 I do marketing as far as making our business cards, getting out there, letting customers know about our business day by day, word of mouth, because it takes more than just money.
36:57 Speaker 03 She's the model for our business. Her and her friends are models for our business and stuff like that. We, like I said, on our party bus, it's 15 feet high. We have models all across our party bus.
37:06 Caleb Hammer? How do you?
37:07 Speaker 05 People, people that know you, they know that the business that you run, right? Like anybody that would know you, they know that, um, what you have going on.
37:14 Caleb Hammer? Yeah.
37:15 Speaker 05 Everybody that knows me knows about my company and it should be the same for everybody that has a part of our business. Like there shouldn't be, if, if somebody knows Kevin, they should know about the business that he offers and they should know that we, what services we have. They should know that, but they don't.
37:31 Caleb Hammer? Wait, what's the point you're trying to make? I'm sorry.
37:32 Speaker 05 The point I'm trying to make is it's besides money, it takes more than just money to run a company as far as getting out there, talking to people, word of mouth, business cards, marketing, flyers, posting, content, all of that. It takes time. That's actually hard work.
37:45 Speaker 03 You know what I'm saying?
37:46 Caleb Hammer? What's the point that's being made? I'm confused.
37:48 Speaker 05 How can we grow and make money if we're not doing the things to make us more money? That's the point I'm making. Yeah, you can put money and money and money in, but if you're not helping marketing and getting your business out there, how's it helping it grow?
38:01 Caleb Hammer? Kevin, perspective on that?
38:03 Speaker 04 Uh, it's, it's a lot to take in. I'm not even in the business.
38:08 Caleb Hammer? Even though you own 50%?
38:10 Speaker 04 In person, so I'm just out here and.
38:13 Speaker 03 But that's the same thing that what she talking about, just because you're not there in person. Those things can be done from New York or wherever or not, you know, saying far as in like marketing, website and designs and pushing things out there.
38:25 Caleb Hammer? Do you have insight into the books? Can you view the books?
38:29 Speaker 03 Not anymore.
38:30 Speaker 04 Not anymore.
38:30 Caleb Hammer? Not anymore?
38:31 Speaker 03 Yeah, we got crashed with uh with Square. Everything was put on Square.
38:36 Speaker 04 Square was not hemp friendly.
38:37 Speaker 03 Yeah.
38:38 Speaker 04 So they closed our account.
38:40 Caleb Hammer? So it's still primarily hemp until new laws.
38:43 Speaker 03 Yeah, the new laws, it things start to downpour.
38:46 Caleb Hammer? Jerry, what's your perspective on Kevin?
38:49 Speaker 05 As far as in what specifically?
38:50 Caleb Hammer? Uh, part of this business and whatnot. I mean, I noticed you talked about you and Ricky, but not Kevin.
38:55 Speaker 05 I mean, Kevin's a great person, um, like he has put in a lot, but it takes, like I said earlier, it takes more than just money to help a business grow. You, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to be out here with me and Ricky. You can be at home, you can post on our business platform, you can upgrade our website to make sure that all of, all of our services are up to date with the prices as well. You can help us market more, more bookings for the party bus. All of that stuff, you don't have to be in clean to do that. That's what I'm saying.
39:30 Caleb Hammer? I mean, everyone agrees that it takes capital and labor. That's pretty much what makes a business.
39:35 Speaker 03 And the labor costs became too high. This is the only reason why.
39:39 Caleb Hammer? Can I have the whiteboard? I am just so, I'm gonna just have, let's have you Ricky, Ricky, you seem to be the boots on the ground operation, sorry, didn't mean to trigger you, uh, for this business.
39:53 Caleb Hammer? Draw the business, the profit centers, the, the income, just like tell me what the business is. For every source of income, you can give me like a percent of what that might be. Just draw out the business for me. I need to, I just need to understand something.
40:05 Speaker 03 Okay, so goddamn, then what come off? Anyways, so there's a, uh, we did have a building, we would let the building go. But when we have the building, this is the building, this is the.
40:16 Caleb Hammer? Well, I just wanna know now.
40:17 Speaker 03 The shop, you wanna know now what's.
40:19 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, I just need to know what the business looks like now. There's an eraser.
40:22 Speaker 03 Yeah, so now, you know, saying there's a, there's a bus. You know, that's goddamn, there's a bus. There's a, there's three buses, actually. There's the party bus and then there's the uh, travel bus.
40:38 Speaker 03 And then there's the the smoke shop bus.
40:41 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
40:41 Speaker 03 You know what I'm saying?
40:42 Caleb Hammer? Gotcha.
40:42 Speaker 03 You know, we got the smoke shop bus, the travel bus and the party bus. And then we have a smoke shop car.
40:48 Caleb Hammer? Car?
40:49 Speaker 03 Yeah, we got a car.
40:50 Speaker 04 One of them got repossessed.
40:52 Speaker 03 Yo, that's that was a van that we had, which the motor didn't work.
40:56 Speaker 04 It was under my name.
40:57 Caleb Hammer? It was under your name?
40:58 Speaker 04 It was I co-signed for that van. And it was repoed a couple of weeks ago.
41:03 Caleb Hammer? Where were you when I wanted some money for free with no responsibility?
41:07 Caleb Hammer? Okay, okay, so shop car.
41:08 Speaker 03 Yeah, shop car. And then we got another van that's for the smoke shop as well, too.
41:14 Caleb Hammer? And this was that repossessed, this one?
41:15 Speaker 03 No.
41:15 Speaker 04 No, we had total of three.
41:17 Speaker 03 Yeah, we got a total of three.
41:18 Caleb Hammer? But we have.
41:19 Speaker 03 And then we got the food truck.
41:20 Speaker 04 Yeah.
41:22 Caleb Hammer? Okay. So a lot of assets, are there debt on these assets?
41:26 Speaker 03 No.
41:27 Speaker 04 No.
41:27 Caleb Hammer? These are all owned cash out.
41:29 Speaker 03 Yes.
41:29 Caleb Hammer? Why was one repossessed?
41:30 Speaker 03 Because that was the only one we were doing payments on.
41:32 Caleb Hammer? Why didn't you pay?
41:34 Speaker 03 Um, things got complicated with the with the whole business because one, we we we made a mistake by getting loans. We got a cash advance loan, you know.
41:45 Speaker 04 Version cash advance.
41:46 Caleb Hammer? Advance? He didn't take out like a personal loan, business loan?
41:49 Speaker 03 No.
41:49 Caleb Hammer? Cash advance?
41:50 Speaker 03 Yeah.
41:51 Speaker 04 A personal loan?
41:51 Speaker 03 We were, we were.
41:52 Caleb Hammer? Yeah.
41:53 Speaker 03 We went, we went on this business on a whole point. Uh, first, we got the credit card stacking, which was fine. We got the credit card stacking.
42:01 Speaker 04 Are you familiar with credit card stacking?
42:03 Speaker 03 Yo, we got the credit card stacking. We got at least about, I want to say about eighty thousand dollars worth of credit cards.
42:08 Caleb Hammer? Okay, are you talking about just that endless transferring?
42:11 Speaker 04 Uh, no, no, no, not the transferring. So we went through a third-party service and they apply all these credit cards for us. So we went.
42:18 Caleb Hammer? Oh, that's interesting.
42:19 Speaker 04 The first round, we had, we obtained four credit cards, but at the expense of twelve percent. Was it twelve percent?
42:24 Caleb Hammer? Twelve percent's insane.
42:26 Speaker 03 No, no, it was, we didn't have zero down on the credit card.
42:28 Speaker 04 No, no, no, they're paying for the service.
42:31 Caleb Hammer? Wait, I am confused, though. It's not, how are you guys collecting money now, though?
42:35 Speaker 03 Now? Now is a different, different point, you know what I'm saying?
42:38 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, but how are you collecting?
42:39 Speaker 04 He's still building it.
42:39 Speaker 03 We're still building it. We had to take a pivot.
42:42 Caleb Hammer? But how does income come in? Where do you collect it from?
42:44 Speaker 03 Where do we collect it from? What are you talking about?
42:45 Speaker 04 I think.
42:46 Caleb Hammer? So Stripe broke, right?
42:47 Speaker 03 You're talking about, wait a minute. You're going from one subject to another subject, to ask me some question to another question, and you've got to stay on one point on one of the conversations.
42:54 Caleb Hammer? Well, I can do whatever I want on my show.
42:56 Speaker 03 I know what you're saying, but I'm getting confused on what you're talking about.
42:58 Caleb Hammer? That's fine, that's why I'm trying to redefine it. So.
43:01 Speaker 03 Okay.
43:01 Caleb Hammer? Stripe doesn't work, how are you making money now?
43:04 Speaker 03 We're making money from the, from the hemp shop.
43:06 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, but where's it hitting? Not through Stripe. Where is it getting transferred through?
43:10 Speaker 04 Uh, he's, he's referring to POS.
43:12 Speaker 03 Oh, the POS system. I don't, I forgot the name of it. I forgot the name of the POS.
43:16 Caleb Hammer? Well, I might be being told it's going like through Cherry's Cash App and Venmo.
43:20 Speaker 03 Well, the Cash App, yes, because we had to start using her Cash App because my.
43:25 Caleb Hammer? That's, you don't have any insight on that.
43:27 Speaker 04 I, that's true.
43:29 Caleb Hammer? And how does that make you feel, dude? If it was going through her, my business partner's fiance's Cash App?
43:37 Speaker 03 And we put it through the bank.
43:38 Speaker 04 Uh, which bank?
43:40 Speaker 03 From Bank of America.
43:41 Speaker 04 But, but that's, is that negative? It's been negative for the past two months.
43:45 Speaker 03 We haven't made any money.
43:46 Caleb Hammer? Oh, good. Okay. So, yeah, let's talk about the money then. So these, these are all the assets, correct?
43:50 Speaker 03 Right.
43:51 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
43:53 Caleb Hammer? So there's also a podcast.
43:54 Speaker 03 That, this, these are all the vehicles we have.
43:57 Caleb Hammer? Okay, yeah, but, okay, so that's the vehicle part of the business. What else is there?
44:00 Speaker 03 Part of the business. Then we got videography. You understand?
44:04 Caleb Hammer? And this is for events?
44:05 Speaker 03 Huh? This is for events.
44:06 Speaker 04 Right.
44:06 Speaker 03 Yes. Yeah.
44:09 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so is videography.
44:10 Speaker 03 Same setup you have here. We have.
44:12 Caleb Hammer? Kind of.
44:13 Speaker 03 You know.
44:13 Caleb Hammer? But, yeah, I get it.
44:14 Speaker 03 It's not kind of. You don't know what I have, but yes, we have same setup.
44:17 Caleb Hammer? Well, we don't go mobile and shoot events, so kind of.
44:19 Speaker 03 Saying, I don't go mobile either and shoot events. I do shoot events in mobile. What I'm saying is we have a stationary spot that we do it at. You know, we have a stationary spot where we have our same thing. We do the same stuff or whatever like that, not on your level or nothing like that, period.
44:36 Caleb Hammer? Doesn't need to, we're not competing. That's fine.
44:37 Speaker 03 But I'm saying that's it.
44:38 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so videography, what else?
44:40 Speaker 03 Uh, videography and, um, that's it. This is all, this is all part of the business.
44:45 Caleb Hammer? Write down on average for each of those what they would bring in net after costs.
44:53 Speaker 03 Now, like, would they bring in?
44:55 Caleb Hammer? Now, now, not would, now.
44:58 Speaker 03 Like now they're not bringing in nothing but the videography.
45:01 Speaker 04 Why?
45:01 Speaker 03 Because we just started.
45:02 Speaker 04 He's still building it up.
45:03 Speaker 03 Okay.
45:04 Caleb Hammer? So what does that mean? What does it look like now then? If it's still being built out, what's this still building? I understand the hemp one. Like, okay, we can like, that's on hold until we figure it out, but.
45:12 Speaker 03 So, so this all got changed just recently. Within three months, everything kind of took a pause and stopped.
45:19 Caleb Hammer? Why?
45:20 Speaker 03 Because of the hemp business.
45:21 Caleb Hammer? So the travel bus relied on the hemp business?
45:23 Speaker 03 Okay, so the travel bus and every part of this business relied on one part of the business because it made so much money. And when it made so much money.
45:32 Caleb Hammer? Oh, so you're saying all of it was subsidized? They're all money losers being subsidized by the hemp business?
45:37 Speaker 03 No, it's just, I didn't have enough. We were, I was starting to break off and push more into the party bus more. Okay, this is what happened. Because it's a long story and we're going to it in, in a quick ways and you're asking questions about certain things. I'm just saying, okay, far as in the party bus and far as in, in, uh, some of these vehicles and stuff like that and what happened in the situation. The party bus took, I want to say fifty thousand dollars in creation and it, and twenty thousand dollars.
46:07 Caleb Hammer? Chunky.
46:08 Speaker 03 It took, huh?
46:08 Caleb Hammer? That's chunky.
46:09 Speaker 03 Yes. And it took, because we, it was, it was originally the, uh, the mobile studio. Where we had started correct, uh, at first.
46:18 Speaker 04 Very first thing, yeah.
46:19 Speaker 03 And we changed it into a party bus and I had put a rap on there. We had got with a dude named Kevin that he ran his business for thirty years. I don't know this guy. I mean, I know him, but I didn't know he was going to take this long with the rap on a bus.
46:32 Caleb Hammer? Not this Kevin?
46:33 Speaker 03 No, not.
46:33 Caleb Hammer? Different Kevin?
46:34 Speaker 03 A different Kevin.
46:34 Speaker 04 Different Kevin, yeah.
46:36 Speaker 03 He took six months to get our bus back when we had a rap on it. So it took a pause on that bus. The transmission went out on the, uh, on the, what you call it? On a, uh, on a, on the smoke shop bus. So we couldn't utilize that.
46:50 Caleb Hammer? So where, where's the standing on every single one of these individually today?
46:53 Speaker 03 They work now.
46:54 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so why is no money coming in?
46:56 Speaker 03 Because I'm only one person. We lost a lot of stuff.
47:01 Caleb Hammer? What'd you lose?
47:01 Speaker 03 When the hemp business went down.
47:03 Caleb Hammer? What'd you lose?
47:04 Speaker 03 We lost employees.
47:05 Caleb Hammer? Okay, but why would the employee for the transportation bus be funded by the hemp business?
47:09 Speaker 03 Because it was the only thing that was coming through. We had just got the bus back.
47:13 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so what do we need to do right now to get it up and running? Let's say there was employees to run it, what would they bring in on net?
47:20 Speaker 03 What would they bring in on net on a party bus?
47:22 Caleb Hammer? Each, each individual item there. Like, not the hemp, obviously, anymore, but what would they?
47:27 Speaker 03 On a monthly basis, a weekly basis?
47:28 Caleb Hammer? What was that first one? S? What's S again?
47:30 Speaker 03 That's, that's the smoke shop bus.
47:31 Caleb Hammer? Okay, can, can we still do that today?
47:33 Speaker 03 Yeah.
47:34 Caleb Hammer? Okay, what would they bring on a net if you had the employee in place? A net after expenses?
47:38 Speaker 03 Uh, monthly, are you talking about?
47:39 Caleb Hammer? Yes, monthly.
47:40 Speaker 03 Monthly, after expenses, you're talking about, uh, we run it now, had all the stuff that was in there? You're talking about maybe twenty, twenty-five thousand dollars a month?
47:49 Caleb Hammer? Does that sound right, Kevin?
47:52 Caleb Hammer? You did the taxes.
47:53 Speaker 04 I don't, I don't see that hit in the checking account.
47:57 Speaker 03 Listen, we have that hitting the check.
47:59 Caleb Hammer? Mass, man.
48:00 Speaker 03 We had that hitting the checking account for almost two years.
48:02 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so things are being run through her Cash App right now in Venmo, right?
48:05 Speaker 03 What'd you say?
48:06 Caleb Hammer? Things are being run through her Cash App in Venmo right now, right? Transactions?
48:09 Speaker 03 We, she don't have Venmo, but yes, Cash App.
48:11 Caleb Hammer? Would you let Kevin see your Cash App?
48:13 Speaker 03 We do.
48:14 Speaker 05 But it, it, all the business stuff isn't just on Cash App. I have other personal things that I get Cash App for.
48:18 Caleb Hammer? No, that's fine, but like, he would see the business.
48:20 Speaker 05 Yeah, I have no problem.
48:21 Speaker 03 Will you show him everything?
48:23 Speaker 05 When they have a meeting every day, when they have a meeting every day and Kevin talks to Ricky about numbers, so I'm not sure how he didn't see it when they have conversations every day about numbers. That doesn't make any sense.
48:34 Speaker 03 We show him the, the Cash Apps. We, we send over the things and stuff like that.
48:37 Speaker 05 Cause if he never saw any numbers, why would he still be here this long?
48:40 Speaker 04 I haven't seen any of the Cash Apps.
48:41 Caleb Hammer? He hasn't seen it? He's saying he hasn't seen it.
48:43 Speaker 03 And it's not like.
48:43 Caleb Hammer? Why's he saying that?
48:44 Speaker 03 The thing is this, we just started using her Cash App. It wasn't like it been the like.
48:48 Speaker 05 It wasn't the whole time.
48:48 Speaker 03 It wasn't the whole time.
48:49 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, I know. When, when did it start?
48:51 Speaker 03 Uh, they shut down our Cash App and they shut down our Square.
48:55 Caleb Hammer? So what do you use now?
48:56 Speaker 03 That's why we end up using her. And we started, we switched over and we had to use another POS system. Like, three months.
49:03 Caleb Hammer? And, and you're saying you haven't seen anything in three months?
49:05 Speaker 04 No, I haven't.
49:06 Speaker 03 That's why.
49:09 Caleb Hammer? Okay, can he see?
49:11 Speaker 03 I mean.
49:12 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, you can reach. She doesn't want to be on camera.
49:13 Speaker 03 Yeah.
49:14 Caleb Hammer? Just take a look.
49:15 Speaker 05 Which transactions are which transactions? That's what I'm saying.
49:18 Caleb Hammer? No, I know. I know. He can ask for clarification. Take a little look through.
49:21 Speaker 05 Ricky's right there.
49:22 Caleb Hammer? Take a little peekies.
49:23 Speaker 03 Yeah.
49:23 Caleb Hammer? Little peek. Okay, so let's say 20,000. Great, transportation bus. What would that bring in while Mr. Kevin goes through and looks?
49:29 Speaker 03 Uh, the transportation bus can bring anywhere from, uh, let's say.
49:33 Caleb Hammer? Net after costs.
49:34 Speaker 03 After costs, $10,000 a month.
49:36 Caleb Hammer? Okay, that would be lovely. Um, P, I forgot about P. Party bus. Yes, what does that bring in?
49:42 Speaker 03 Uh, it can bring anywhere after costs, uh.
49:45 Caleb Hammer? Own Colleen, by the way.
49:46 Speaker 03 About $15,000. No, I hear in Austin. It's in Austin. It's right around the corner. It's actually right around the block. The party bus and the food truck.
49:57 Speaker 04 I mean, there's a lot of transactions. There's a lot of food, shopping, gas. I mean, I just, it's, it's hard to keep it organized.
50:04 Caleb Hammer? By the way, the, like, your CPA is not gonna like and IRS certainly won't. Personal and business all being collected in one.
50:11 Speaker 03 I couldn't stop. You know, we didn't make the cash app stop. We had to make a pivot to sit there and.
50:18 Caleb Hammer? I know, because you were doing business that was illegal in Texas. So, uh, okay. Okay, do you believe these numbers? Because he's saying net, you guys can make, uh, what is that, 40,000 hours a month?
50:30 Speaker 04 Look, I'll, I look, I look at the numbers on our checking account. It has never exceeded
50:37 Speaker 04 $4,000 balance.
50:38 Caleb Hammer? So why?
50:39 Speaker 03 Okay.
50:40 Caleb Hammer? Why does it ever exceed 4,000? If you're saying just those three, you can bring in 50 net. Net is after costs.
50:45 Speaker 03 Okay, uh, that is, you're saying, you're, you're talking about suspensitory type numbers that can be done now.
50:52 Caleb Hammer? Huh?
50:52 Speaker 03 If we had them, if we had them, you.
50:54 Speaker 04 Oh, these were the numbers I would make.
50:56 Speaker 03 Would make.
50:56 Speaker 04 Would.
50:57 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, if you brought them up today.
50:58 Speaker 03 Yeah, if I had the money to do all the stuff that we wouldn't make.
51:01 Caleb Hammer? What do you need?
51:02 Speaker 03 To get this done?
51:03 Caleb Hammer? Yes.
51:04 Speaker 03 Probably like 50,000 to get that done.
51:08 Caleb Hammer? Ready? Put in another 50?
51:10 Speaker 03 You know, I mean, I don't.
51:12 Speaker 04 No, no.
51:12 Caleb Hammer? I don't too. I thought you're a big asset, big, lots of.
51:15 Speaker 03 Yeah, I got a lot of stuff going on, but I don't have no cash.
51:17 Caleb Hammer? If you're so confident in it, borrow against your home, put 50 in it.
51:20 Speaker 03 We did that already. I have so many.
51:22 Caleb Hammer? I thought you said you had equity.
51:24 Speaker 03 We do.
51:24 Caleb Hammer? There you go.
51:25 Speaker 03 But what I'm saying, I already borrowed against it.
51:27 Speaker 04 He does have a plan to acquire more capital.
51:30 Speaker 03 Yeah.
51:31 Caleb Hammer? What's the plan?
51:32 Speaker 03 So, um, the same thing that he did with the credit card stacking and stuff like that. We already have in plan with people to be able to, myself, her, and one of our other business partners to be able to do the same thing with our credit cards and be able to alleviate. The thing about it was, we wasn't able to get an SBA loan. We wasn't able to get an SBA loan.
51:51 Caleb Hammer? No shit. This is a mess.
51:53 Speaker 03 It wasn't a mess before this all started. Before this all started, it wasn't a mess.
51:58 Caleb Hammer? Okay, before, when was it before it all started? When was that?

54:53 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so what are we talking about then?
54:55 Speaker 03 As far as not significant, we have, we have the numbers. And you know what I'm saying, it's showing in there. If you have the financial, in our bank account, we had the numbers showing that we were making $25,000 to $30,000 a month that were alleviating going to the account. We were just paying employees. We were paying employees, buying things for the company, running the business. When you're not there physically, when you're not there actually...
55:15 Caleb Hammer? He said he didn't have to be.
55:17 Speaker 03 You can see it on the, he wasn't looking on the computer on the square.
55:21 Caleb Hammer? Why? Why were you looking on the computer?
55:22 Speaker 03 It's there. All the sales were there, everything that was there.
55:26 Caleb Hammer? Why don't you trust this guy?
55:29 Speaker 04 Oh, that's a, that's a.
55:31 Speaker 03 He trusted me plenty of times.
55:32 Caleb Hammer? Well, why'd you trust him to invest a couple hundred thousand dollars, dude? You couple hundred thousand dollars, we multi millions in the S and P 500 by the time you retired.
55:41 Speaker 04 I could have been a millionaire.
55:42 Caleb Hammer? You fucked it? Yeah. Why'd you trust him?
55:45 Speaker 04 I was naive.
55:46 Caleb Hammer? Why?
55:47 Speaker 04 I was 26, 27.
55:48 Caleb Hammer? Oh, shut the fuck up.
55:49 Speaker 04 Okay.
55:49 Caleb Hammer? None of us do this at 26, 27.
55:52 Speaker 04 I guess I was really persuaded and convinced that we would make multi millions.
55:56 Caleb Hammer? How did he persuade you, though? What made you fall? I mean, objectively, no, not yet.
56:01 Speaker 03 Things, I wasn't expecting for the hemp business to fall. I wasn't expecting for cash.
56:06 Caleb Hammer? But if you get into a risky business, like you kind of understand, right?
56:09 Speaker 03 I didn't expect for it to fall. I didn't expect for the laws to change. You know what I'm saying?
56:14 Caleb Hammer? Really? In Texas?
56:15 Speaker 03 I didn't expect for it to change.
56:17 Caleb Hammer? Ken Paxton's been pushing for this forever.
56:19 Speaker 03 Man, I don't look at this stuff like that.
56:21 Caleb Hammer? You don't look at the stuff that impacts your business?
56:23 Speaker 03 I do look at it, but I'm saying I didn't expect it to change that harshly.
56:26 Caleb Hammer? That's who you're investing in? The guy who doesn't look into the things that impacts his business?
56:31 Caleb Hammer? You got sold. Great. Um, okay.
56:33 Speaker 03 Nobody expected it to happen and it's more than just me.
56:35 Caleb Hammer? Actually, I did. I've been following that. They've, they've been trying that. Actually, they've been, okay, he's 26, 27. You're 30 now. They've been trying that since you're 26, actually.
56:43 Speaker 03 I know over.
56:44 Caleb Hammer? I've been following it for four years.
56:45 Speaker 04 Geez Louise.
56:46 Speaker 03 I know over 15 different businesses personally, they've spent hundreds of thousands, just the same as I done. They fell under just because they changed the laws.
56:54 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, but they bet on the risk.
56:56 Speaker 03 Yeah, when I did too.
56:57 Caleb Hammer? But you weren't even informed on the risk.
56:58 Speaker 03 I was informed on the risk.
56:59 Caleb Hammer? You just said you didn't look into it.
57:01 Speaker 03 I'm saying like, I didn't think it was gonna go change like that.
57:03 Caleb Hammer? You weren't informed on the risk?
57:04 Speaker 03 I was informed on the risk every day. He even remind me about the risk.
57:08 Caleb Hammer? What? What the fuck? What am I dealing with here? He's, he can't, he can't say he's informed.
57:12 Speaker 05 How much money did we pay back, Kevin, on that loan? How much money was it? The money that we fully paid back?
57:18 Speaker 04 Do what?
57:18 Speaker 03 We paid back, um, on the loan, it was like, what, sixty thousand dollars?
57:23 Speaker 04 We took a small, uh, what's it called?
57:25 Speaker 05 And then we paid back every penny, the whole thing?
57:27 Speaker 04 We, we took like a small business loan from.
57:29 Speaker 03 The reason why you, we never saw any significant money in the account is because we took a loan. And so this is what it is. We took a loan and we were paying a thousand dollars a week, a thousand dollars a week on loans that were coming through their account. We were making them, never missed a payment. Sat there and made a thousand dollars a week, every week on this account. You know what I'm saying? Then we're paying another thirty-five hundred dollars in credit cards every month. Then plus the employees, then plus the mortgage, then plus the lights, then plus all the things that it takes to run the business and be able to apply the supplies.
58:03 Caleb Hammer? To run the businesses.
58:04 Speaker 03 I understand that, but that's what went to the downfall. And what happened after that, after we sat there and paid off all the loans, it was a financial freedom that we're gonna go stand ahead. Then took on his head to put all the credit card payments, which they were all spread or spread it around through the month, you know, where we, how we supplicate and how we make, how we make money, how we separate and put the money in our accounts. We're making four hundred, five hundred, five, five hundred, three hundred, you know what I'm saying, every other day. And what happened after that.
58:36 Caleb Hammer? Such a mess. Okay.
58:37 Speaker 03 You know, he put all the, all the payments into one day.
58:41 Caleb Hammer? You guys took on way too much risk, way too much debt to fuel this thing in an industry that if you did any research, you would know that Texas was trying to change the law on. This was just uninformed, moronic behavior across the board. Come on. Dude, I don't smoke weed, but I follow basic Texas news.
59:00 Speaker 03 And I followed it too, and then we fought.
59:02 Caleb Hammer? He just said you didn't follow it.
59:04 Speaker 03 What I'm saying is that after it started changing, I followed it. I started seeing what was going on.
59:08 Caleb Hammer? But not that they're trying to change it.
59:10 Speaker 03 Look, the thing about this, we can't help but to sit there and find out what's going on because the suppliers that I'm getting it from are telling me about what's going on.
59:19 Caleb Hammer? Just follow the news. I get it from the Austin American Statesman.
59:21 Speaker 04 It's also because it's probably one of the most, it's probably one of the most jarring income upstream better than what we had else going on.
59:30 Caleb Hammer? Oh my.
59:31 Speaker 05 That's why all of our eggs aren't in just that business. That's why we have multiple different things. So if the hemp did cut off.
59:39 Caleb Hammer? Well, but the other ones aren't doing anything.
59:41 Speaker 05 We still have videography, we still have our podcast, we still have photography. We still have the party bus, we still have the food truck.
59:47 Caleb Hammer? Which is it making? None of this is making.
59:49 Speaker 03 It's making money.
59:50 Caleb Hammer? You just, then what are they making right now?
59:53 Speaker 03 Right? We just pivot and start to change and make more from it.
59:56 Caleb Hammer? What is being made right now? Can anyone answer this question?
1:00:01 Speaker 03 What's being made right now with the company with those buses and everything right now? We're making anywhere probably about five to $6,000 every month for it.
1:00:09 Caleb Hammer? So that sound right?
1:00:10 Speaker 04 I don't know.
1:00:11 Caleb Hammer? In videography, what's being made?
1:00:13 Speaker 05 Yeah, that sounds right.
1:00:14 Caleb Hammer? Okay.
1:00:17 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:00:17 Speaker 04 I don't know.
1:00:19 Caleb Hammer? Okay, well, that's a lot of money for three people. So, so profiting five to 6,000?
1:00:26 Speaker 03 No.
1:00:28 Caleb Hammer? Breaking even?
1:00:29 Speaker 03 Breaking even.
1:00:29 Caleb Hammer? Losing?
1:00:30 Speaker 03 No, not losing.
1:00:31 Caleb Hammer? Congratulations. What a return on investment.
1:00:35 Caleb Hammer? What do you think the financial score would be for your business? Zero to 10, if you had to rate it today, so you're being the absolute worst, 10 being the absolute best?
1:00:41 Speaker 03 The financial score?
1:00:42 Caleb Hammer? Yeah.
1:00:42 Speaker 03 It'd be a two.
1:00:44 Caleb Hammer? What would you rate it?
1:00:45 Speaker 05 About four.
1:00:46 Caleb Hammer? What would you rate it?
1:00:50 Speaker 04 I haven't got a dime, so it's zero.

1:04:14 Speaker 05 Maybe.
1:04:16 Caleb Hammer? Oh, she is a stripper.
1:04:17 Speaker 03 But anyways, like I said, um, when it comes to the business and whatever.
1:04:23 Caleb Hammer? Oh, she had a delay. What was that again?
1:04:25 Speaker 05 Everyone says that like it's an insult. It's not an insult.
1:04:28 Caleb Hammer? No, it's just I don't expect, expect much more.
1:04:30 Speaker 05 It's not an insult.
1:04:32 Caleb Hammer? No, no, no.
1:04:32 Speaker 05 Actually a compliment.
1:04:33 Caleb Hammer? I love strippers. I see them all the time.
1:04:35 Speaker 05 I bet.
1:04:36 Caleb Hammer? They're lovely. Not usually respected for their intelligence.
1:04:41 Speaker 03 Talking about lotion and rubbing yourself and everything like that. I don't think.
1:04:43 Caleb Hammer? Here you talk about lotion.
1:04:45 Speaker 03 Beginning of this podcast, you was talking about lotion.
1:04:46 Caleb Hammer? I'm not Ashy. What are you talking about me and lotion?
1:04:48 Speaker 03 I don't know.
1:04:49 Caleb Hammer? What?
1:04:50 Speaker 03 You the one said it, not me.
1:04:52 Caleb Hammer? Lotion?
1:04:52 Speaker 03 Yes.
1:04:53 Caleb Hammer? What are you talking about?
1:04:54 Speaker 03 You was talking about baby oil and some Diddy stuff, man.
1:04:56 Caleb Hammer? Baby oil, Diddy, uh, Diddy, Didiography.
1:04:59 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:04:59 Caleb Hammer? Didiography, yeah, because you're half the time inaudible. That's what I thought I heard. So, yeah.
1:05:04 Speaker 03 I don't think you go to strip clubs. But anyways, it was all in the business.
1:05:08 Caleb Hammer? Went with everyone in this room.
1:05:10 Speaker 03 Anyways, when it comes to this business, uh, I, you can say successful or not. I know where we're going to be successful in this business.
1:05:17 Caleb Hammer? It's always we're going to be. After he put hundreds of thousands in for years.
1:05:21 Speaker 03 And I did too. I have a lot relying on this business. A lot.
1:05:25 Caleb Hammer? I'm sure, but you have her supplemental disability of which we can't say is for, for being a cook.
1:05:33 Speaker 03 Like I said, I put most of everything that I had.
1:05:36 Caleb Hammer? Saying, I love veterans. Veterans are the best among us. They are literally, we have the United States because of the veterans. But we know for a fact on this show's history, they're not a sacred cow. We can't just be like, no matter what, it's all good, no matter what. And we've, when we've had literally over a dozen people on the show, basically brag about how they're getting fully funded disability for something that didn't happen.
1:06:00 Speaker 03 I don't rely on her disability to do my business.
1:06:02 Caleb Hammer? You guys can. So you know you can take more risk because you know you can fall back on it.
1:06:08 Caleb Hammer? In the end, if we all have a big safety net, we're able to take more risk. That's a basic reality.
1:06:13 Speaker 03 Her safety net doesn't recall me in doing anything that I'm doing.
1:06:17 Caleb Hammer? Well, your fiance, you're about to be married, so that will be there.
1:06:20 Speaker 03 I don't rely on that. That's not the type of man I am.
1:06:22 Caleb Hammer? You don't rely on it right now, I know, but it allows you to take more risk.
1:06:24 Speaker 03 That's not the type of man I am, and you can't tell me what I'm doing. I don't rely on no woman to help me with nothing.
1:06:28 Caleb Hammer? A little sexist.
1:06:29 Speaker 03 Period. That could be sexist all you want. I don't rely on a woman to help me with nothing that I do with my business. Period. Point blank.
1:06:36 Caleb Hammer? Except that money's there, so you're able to take more risk, because you know if everything were to go to shit, you can fall back on it.
1:06:42 Speaker 03 That's what you say, but I don't rely on it.
1:06:43 Caleb Hammer? Well, that's what the numbers say.
1:06:44 Speaker 03 No, these numbers don't say that. I take care of my stuff. I don't.
1:06:49 Caleb Hammer? Thanks to his hundreds of thousands. I guess you're right. You didn't use a woman, you used the Asian wink.
1:06:53 Speaker 03 That's what your problem is. You're just sitting there and just listen. I told you, I had a tow truck company. That it makes this money to where I can make some. I don't put on books.
1:07:00 Caleb Hammer? You said had. Why would you not put it on books? If you're not putting it on books, that's illegal.
1:07:04 Speaker 03 I sold. I don't care if, give a fuck about it being illegal. I make my money.
1:07:08 Caleb Hammer? Well, that's.
1:07:10 Speaker 03 You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna make my money to where you need to go. I'm not doing, I'm not selling drugs or nothing like that. I'm gonna make my money. If I have to escape some taxes to be able to run my tow truck to make some money, get my company going, that's what I'm gonna do.
1:07:22 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so disability for an unknown disability as a cook and tax fraud.
1:07:27 Speaker 03 Yeah, ain't no tax fraud.
1:07:29 Caleb Hammer? What you just said? I'm going off of your words.
1:07:32 Speaker 03 I'm not making enough money to sit up there and make tax fraud on my tow truck that I'm running.
1:07:36 Caleb Hammer? You said you made 200,000. That would be enough money.
1:07:38 Speaker 03 Before we start running this business, I'm one running the truck. I can't sit there and run that truck at the same time I'm doing this business. I'm the only one running the truck. So anytime I need some money for this business, yes, I will go take a car for a tow. Yes, I will go sit there and go tow a car. Yes, I will go repo a car to make some cash to be able to go buy product.
1:07:58 Caleb Hammer? No one's saying you don't work hard, but I am saying for this business and looping someone in to give all this money, put away the bits and everything that I've been doing and the jokes and the hee hee, ha ha's. You are all talk.
1:08:11 Speaker 03 When it comes, I'm not all talk.
1:08:12 Caleb Hammer? You've been for him.
1:08:13 Speaker 03 No, I've actually told him what to do, far as in what you do.
1:08:17 Caleb Hammer? He's made less than a penny on his return on investment for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
1:08:21 Speaker 03 And that wasn't.
1:08:22 Caleb Hammer? And he's been sucked in due to the talk. Come on.
1:08:24 Speaker 03 It wasn't sucked in due to the talk.
1:08:25 Caleb Hammer? Heaven has it?
1:08:26 Speaker 03 We lost because of structural things that happened to the business.
1:08:30 Caleb Hammer? But before that, he didn't make a penny.
1:08:32 Speaker 03 Before that, we were still building.
1:08:35 Caleb Hammer? It's forever building with people that are all
1:08:37 Speaker 03 Forever building with that. You don't know not running the business that we're running. You're subjugating and putting things on
1:08:42 Caleb Hammer? Subjugating again, not again.
1:08:44 Speaker 03 Man, look, listen. Look here. Look, listen. You're sitting up here talking about some things that you don't know no business about.
1:08:52 Caleb Hammer? What are you talking about?
1:08:53 Speaker 03 You're talking about, hey, you're sucking him in and not running the business. I'm running the business.
1:08:57 Caleb Hammer? Like I said, I'm giving the perspective based on the 55 minutes that I've had so far.
1:09:01 Speaker 03 I know, but you do your 55 minutes, you listen so far, you listen to five minutes of conversation and you don't know the structure of your business.
1:09:06 Caleb Hammer? Five minutes, I've been listening to you a lot. You've been rambling, buddy. You've been controlling the conversation.
1:09:11 Speaker 03 You've been asking questions and separating conversations. You've been separating conversations and putting a conversation here, there, there.
1:09:17 Caleb Hammer? I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
1:09:19 Speaker 03 You can't learn anything because you don't listen.
1:09:21 Caleb Hammer? Oh my gosh, what have I not listened to?
1:09:23 Speaker 03 You don't listen to the rest of the conversation.
1:09:25 Caleb Hammer? What have I not heard?
1:09:25 Speaker 03 Okay, when I finish, so I have a sentence going, I'm telling you about the business, you don't listen to it. You interrupting the conversation and you say something about the numbers.
1:09:32 Caleb Hammer? What have I not learned?
1:09:33 Speaker 03 What have you not learned?
1:09:34 Caleb Hammer? Yes.
1:09:35 Speaker 03 How the business failed.
1:09:37 Caleb Hammer? No, I 100% did. I said you-
1:09:39 Speaker 03 No, it didn't. It failed more than just with the hemp company. It failed because the bus couldn't come back, because the motor went out inside the truck. Because a lot of things happened with the business between things getting stolen, between things messing up between the business employees. People got, had to fire back and forth. It wasn't just that. You're not running there. You didn't listen long enough for me to ever tell you.
1:10:02 Caleb Hammer? But you didn't listen to anyone who's ever been a successful business owner once in their life because you know if you did, you'd have a proper business emergency fund.
1:10:08 Speaker 03 I listened to a bunch of people that-
1:10:09 Caleb Hammer? Well, then you listened to a bunch of
1:10:10 Speaker 03 I didn't listen to a bunch of people. I listened to people that are doing more successful than me. And they helped me structure the business.
1:10:15 Caleb Hammer? Because you would have an emergency fund for those things that would happen for your business.
1:10:18 Speaker 03 I did have an emergency fund.
1:10:20 Caleb Hammer? You wouldn't be going into a new asset in cash every single time without having an emergency fund to cover six months of that thing being broken. To make sure your employees could have food on the table, to make sure that you can replace a motor. You don't have assets that generate your income without the ability to fix it.
1:10:34 Speaker 03 We did take care of that. You don't know what I'm saying. We did take care of it.
1:10:37 Caleb Hammer? The consequence of it is it all failed because of that, because the motor broke down. Now you're saying you could have taken care of it? What are you talking about? You're kind of a dick to yourself.
1:10:44 Speaker 03 No, you didn't. Again, you don't know the inside of the business.
1:10:47 Caleb Hammer? Give me the inside!
1:10:48 Speaker 03 I'm telling you, when the motor broke down, we took it to a mechanic shop. Guess what happened to the mechanic shop? The guy did not give me back the truck for three and a half months. It wasn't our fault.
1:10:59 Caleb Hammer? So you shouldn't have had an emergency fund to pay the employees that three and a half months.
1:11:02 Speaker 03 We did.
1:11:03 Caleb Hammer? Then what was the issue?
1:11:04 Speaker 03 We spent the money that the emergency fund went out and depleted.
1:11:08 Caleb Hammer? Did you have an emergency fund? Because you've made zero dollars.
1:11:11 Speaker 03 I had emergency fund and I paid out of my pocket for my employees.
1:11:17 Speaker 03 I paid out of my pocket.
1:11:18 Speaker 04 I also paid for the employees. I wired you fifty-ish grand and you used it to pay off the employees.
1:11:26 Speaker 03 Yes, we paid off the employees, but we also put twenty thousand dollars down onto the building that we were buying. We also put, we also paid for the wrap that was on the bus.
1:11:35 Speaker 04 That.
1:11:35 Speaker 03 You know what I'm saying? And then we paid for the van that was coming out to the shop that took too long. That's where all that money went to. That money went structurally to every spot and everything that we needed.
1:11:45 Caleb Hammer? Why were you evicted from the building then?
1:11:47 Speaker 03 I didn't get evicted from the building. We left the building by our own choice to save money.
1:11:51 Caleb Hammer? Okay, I don't know. I was just told.
1:11:53 Speaker 04 It was seller of refinance and we weren't able to make the monthly payment.
1:11:58 Speaker 03 I can make the monthly payment. I was able to make the monthly payment. I did make the monthly payment.
1:12:02 Speaker 05 We had the monthly payment. I told him specifically, we're not going to pay another monthly rent because we don't have all of our full employees. We don't have all of our full product. It does not make any sense to pay the rent for the next month if we don't have the things to operate the business with.
1:12:17 Speaker 03 So I asked the financial owner, I said, hey, look, you can keep the money that we have and I'll take the loss. We're not having that money back. But give us a couple of months to come out on this business unscathed so we can be able to leave because we can't handle the rent and we can't handle the mortgage.
1:12:30 Caleb Hammer? On the personality side, I've met a lot of people like you. I have family members like you. The reality is, and it has to come down to some pride.
1:12:38 Speaker 03 You've never met anybody like me.
1:12:39 Caleb Hammer? I've met a lot of people like you. You're not unique.
1:12:41 Speaker 03 There's nobody like me for one, period.
1:12:42 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, of course. Uh huh. Yep. You're totally unique. No one's like you.
1:12:45 Speaker 03 Yes, nobody's like me.
1:12:47 Speaker 04 Wait, what's the point?
1:12:48 Caleb Hammer? The point is, you have a lot of pride. And for some reason, because of that pride and because like many people like you,
1:12:57 Caleb Hammer? you can never be wrong.
1:12:58 Speaker 03 No, I'm always wrong with a lot of things.
1:13:00 Caleb Hammer? Not once in this conversation.
1:13:01 Speaker 03 If you can tell me something where I can do now to help my business, I'm willing to listen. But you can't.
1:13:06 Caleb Hammer? But you can never be wrong from anything that happened in the past.
1:13:08 Speaker 03 I was wrong for a bunch of things that I've done.
1:13:10 Caleb Hammer? But nothing we've talked about in this conversation.
1:13:11 Speaker 03 Because we didn't go to that conversation.
1:13:13 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, we have. We've been here.
1:13:15 Speaker 03 No, we have not. It takes more than 55 minutes to sit there and go in the conversation on what I'm wrong for. There was mistakes that I made in this business on things that I was doing.
1:13:23 Caleb Hammer? Hey, not paying the taxes is wrong.
1:13:25 Speaker 03 One, I should have stayed.
1:13:26 Caleb Hammer? Shut the [bleep] up on that [bleep]. See, he can't be wrong. He can't be wrong.
1:13:30 Speaker 03 You know, it's not about camera. Yo, we're paying taxes and whatever like that. It has, it's just more than paying taxes. We're running a business. We're sitting up there hustling. You all sit there, man, you don't know.
1:13:40 Caleb Hammer? Just because it's a hustle doesn't mean you get to break the law.
1:13:43 Speaker 03 It's not breaking a [bleep] law.
1:13:44 Caleb Hammer? To not pay taxes, yes it is.
1:13:45 Speaker 03 Yes, breaking the law like that, but I'm saying is that, man, you're, you're taking this up that gave to be right or wrong in a situation.
1:13:51 Caleb Hammer? What? Is this the law? You pay your taxes.
1:13:53 Speaker 03 Okay, we're paying the taxes. We're talking about one year.
1:13:56 Caleb Hammer? He's doing off books income.
1:13:58 Speaker 03 Okay, yes, I am.
1:13:59 Caleb Hammer? That's illegal. That's wrong. Admit it's wrong.
1:14:02 Speaker 03 Yes, it's wrong.
1:14:03 Caleb Hammer? Thank you.
1:14:03 Speaker 03 I never said it was right.
1:14:04 Caleb Hammer? You were justifying the [bleep] out of it literally seven minutes ago.
1:14:07 Speaker 03 I'm not justifying. The fact is that I'm not paying taxes. I'm saying.
1:14:10 Caleb Hammer? You literally did. Rewind it. Why would you not put it on books?
1:14:14 Speaker 03 I don't care if I give a [bleep] about it being illegal. I make my money.
1:14:16 Caleb Hammer? Not paying.
1:14:17 Speaker 03 Shut the [bleep] up on that [bleep].
1:14:18 Caleb Hammer? See, he can't be wrong.
1:14:19 Speaker 03 Okay, be anyways, like I said, me not paying taxes is me, my hustle for me to be doing what I need to do. And a lot of people are doing it and I'm doing it.
1:14:26 Caleb Hammer? Doesn't make it right.
1:14:27 Speaker 03 I don't give a [bleep].
1:14:28 Caleb Hammer? Okay, that's a bad thing.
1:14:29 Speaker 03 I don't give a [bleep] either.
1:14:30 Caleb Hammer? So you're a bad person.
1:14:31 Speaker 03 Yeah, let me be a bad person. I'm the bad person that's gonna sit there and do it right.
1:14:34 Caleb Hammer? And we should probably put you in jail for tax fraud.
1:14:35 Speaker 03 No, nobody's gonna put me in jail for no [bleep] tax fraud. I'm not making enough to be a tax fraud.
1:14:39 Caleb Hammer? Hmm, well, actually, we don't know because you don't put it on the books.
1:14:42 Speaker 03 Well, not enough to be a tax fraud. Like I said, I set up there and run my truck when I need to, to make money. When I need to make money, I go make money to be able to run my business.
1:14:54 Caleb Hammer? It's, I need to look at some statements. I don't know what the I'm looking at. This is so much. I just need to, apparently I'll never have enough information to have any context on this business to determine whether or not the business that this guy has put hundreds of thousands of dollars in and made zero cents is successful or not.
1:15:11 Speaker 03 I didn't ever, it is mistakes that I made in the business. For one, we should have never, we should have never.
1:15:15 Caleb Hammer? Kevin, I'm sorry.
1:15:16 Speaker 03 We should have stayed mobile. That's one of the mistakes we should have done, period.
1:15:20 Caleb Hammer? So Veribank, what is this? What am I looking at? Can someone tell me?
1:15:23 Speaker 04 Okay, so there's a total of nine credit cards and Veribank's one of them. We all use the cards for similar reasons, for the smoke shop inventories, for other utility bills. But Veribank, that one's one of the smaller credit card limits.
1:15:41 Caleb Hammer? Are you gonna say I came after you? That's why you're so verbally abrasive?
1:15:45 Speaker 03 No, I'm just being stupid.
1:15:46 Caleb Hammer? Because that was your excuse for why you got physically confrontational with people in the past. Where I'm starting to think that you get.
1:15:52 Speaker 03 Physically confrontational with people in the past, like who?
1:15:54 Speaker 04 Oh, verbal.
1:15:56 Caleb Hammer? Verbal.
1:15:56 Speaker 03 I didn't never get verbal.
1:15:57 Caleb Hammer? Apologies.
1:15:58 Speaker 03 I didn't never get verbal with anybody, even with the guy he talking about. He answered that question. I never got verbal.
1:16:03 Caleb Hammer? Did he get verbal at all?
1:16:05 Speaker 04 Uh, not with my CPA, but with the staff nurse at the clinical trial study.

1:16:47 Speaker 04 Late fees, unpaid fees. I said we have nine credit cards. Three of them have already been canceled or closed.
1:16:55 Caleb Hammer? I'm glad I have you here. You're my quant.
1:16:57 Speaker 04 And, um, yeah, you'll see a lot of the credit cards. They all have late fees.
1:17:04 Caleb Hammer? That's not very good.
1:17:05 Speaker 03 No, it's not good.
1:17:06 Caleb Hammer? Why are you late?
1:17:07 Speaker 04 It's all under my name.
1:17:08 Speaker 03 I don't have the money.
1:17:08 Caleb Hammer? But I thought you said you-
1:17:09 Speaker 03 You're asking a dumbass question. Why are we late? I don't have the money.
1:17:11 Caleb Hammer? I'm asking a dumbass question because you're dumb. I said you would drive to go make the money to make the payments.
1:17:15 Speaker 03 Yeah, I make the payments for a lot of different stuff. There's more than what's a credit card.
1:17:19 Caleb Hammer? Things on the business.
1:17:19 Speaker 03 To keep the business running.
1:17:21 Caleb Hammer? So that seems like a dumbass decision.
1:17:22 Speaker 03 No, it's not. I'm gonna pay a credit card before I pay the gas to do the party bus.
1:17:26 Speaker 04 All me.
1:17:27 Caleb Hammer? Oh, that's very selfish of you. I'm glad when the things that don't directly impact you, you won't go work hard for.
1:17:33 Speaker 03 I'm working hard to keep in those credit cards.
1:17:35 Caleb Hammer? Kevin, is he working hard for this?
1:17:37 Speaker 04 He tells me he works fifty, sixty hours a week.
1:17:41 Caleb Hammer? I'll get you a course career certification when you're ready to go get a real job.
1:17:44 Speaker 03 Sounds good.
1:17:46 Speaker 04 He'll, um-
1:17:47 Caleb Hammer? You said no?
1:17:48 Speaker 04 Ricky doesn't want to-
1:17:50 Speaker 05 Ricky doesn't work for people. He works for himself because he's a boss.
1:17:53 Caleb Hammer? Well, he makes zero dollars. He's not a very good boss.
1:17:55 Speaker 05 To you.
1:17:56 Caleb Hammer? Well, to the little numbers on the paper. Also, bosses pay their taxes.
1:18:01 Speaker 03 Sounds good.
1:18:01 Caleb Hammer? And keep playing with your Apple Watch.
1:18:03 Speaker 03 I'm adamant about this taxes shit.
1:18:05 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, it's a weird thing how that works.
1:18:06 Speaker 03 Okay.
1:18:07 Caleb Hammer? I mean, how, how is he a good boss? Wait, didn't he lose all his employees?
1:18:11 Speaker 04 About thirty employees.
1:18:13 Caleb Hammer? She's doing the middle school. I'm just gonna ignore the person. Talk to me and play with my Apple Watch.
1:18:16 Speaker 04 We had thirty employees, twenty twenty-five, but we lost most of them.
1:18:21 Caleb Hammer? That sounds like a pretty good boss to me. She's staring at the ceiling now. Okay.
1:18:26 Speaker 03 We had to lose-
1:18:27 Caleb Hammer? She can't defend it.
1:18:27 Speaker 03 We had to lose the employees because we had to take, you know, certain pivots to be able to change the subparts of the business because we wasn't making as much money. So we had to. Some people are still there, but we can't pay them. And a lot of people-
1:18:40 Speaker 04 Pay them commission based for most part, not hourly.
1:18:43 Caleb Hammer? Okay, can you guys pause for a second? Pause. Take a breather. I think she needs to calm down. She might need to do a couple of dance routines. Uh, one second. I'll be right back.
1:18:53 Speaker 04 Oh.
1:18:53 Caleb Hammer? Mark, are we filming?
1:18:54 Speaker 04 Hi there.
1:18:55 Caleb Hammer? Hi, everyone. Come in behind me.
1:18:56 Speaker 04 Oh.
1:18:57 Caleb Hammer? Come on in.
1:18:58 Speaker 04 Wow, this never happened before.
1:18:59 Caleb Hammer? Just get as tight this way as you can.
1:19:03 Caleb Hammer? Okay. All right, everyone be quiet for a second. Okay, so, here's my employees that are in the office right now, some are on lunch, but that's okay. Here's some of them. Um, employees, uh, if, uh, the business, I was just like, you know what? We're actually gonna just do a quick little, what was the word he used? Change of direction.
1:19:21 Speaker 04 A pivot?
1:19:22 Caleb Hammer? A little pivot, and you guys all just lost your jobs. Would I be a good boss? No. Fuck no. Terrible boss. Now, would it be a very good boss activity? No. So how the fuck are you a good boss?
1:19:35 Caleb Hammer? Thank you.
1:19:37 Caleb Hammer? You suck with money, so you download a budgeting app. You start with the classic one, YNAB, but everyone just deletes it because it's way too complicated to use. So you go to EveryDollar, that's Dave Ramsey, the personal finance guy, right? Well, they're gonna force you to use it his way. That's not very personal finances. Rocket Money, they got a lot of commercials, but they're owned by Rocket Mortgage. Guess what they wanna sell you in the end? Then there's the new guy on the block, Monarch. Hundreds of millions of dollars of private equity raising so far. But private equity doesn't have the best track record when it comes to private data. That's why I like Dollar Wise. Built by these people just like you, for people just like you. No private equity, no gimmicks, just the best budgeting app there is.

Recently, a jury ordered Meta and YouTube to pay millions for their role in designing and promoting addictive platforms. They knew their apps could contribute to anxiety, depression, and body image issues, but did not share those risks while prioritizing profits. The recent historic verdict underscores the consequences of those decisions. Now Morgan & Morgan is stepping up to hold these platforms accountable for the harm they caused.

1:21:08 Caleb Hammer? How the can you say you're a good boss? How could the stripper that needs to go get air? Because the stressful conversation of being off camera and having someone push back on her once in her life for the first time ever,
1:21:20 Caleb Hammer? say you're a good boss?
1:21:22 Speaker 03 Because I am a good boss.
1:21:23 Caleb Hammer? Okay, very good. He stands on it. That's insane.
1:21:28 Caleb Hammer? They all lost their jobs. You know what I do to take care of these people? The shit we do, I don't even, I'm sure not everyone has the best opinion of me, you know, the bosses, who knows? You know, all that good stuff, but it doesn't matter. The sacrifice shit. The absolute investment we do into this business is crazy.
1:21:45 Speaker 03 And I did the same thing for my employees.
1:21:47 Caleb Hammer? And they're all gone.
1:21:48 Speaker 03 And I guarantee you they'll come back.
1:21:50 Caleb Hammer? Kevin?
1:21:53 Speaker 04 They're young, they're, things can change for the better or.
1:21:58 Speaker 03 I never had a bad employee that never came. You can, if we were to make, call them right now, they'd be like, yo, Rick's a good guy.
1:22:05 Caleb Hammer? I'm not saying a bad guy, bad guy's different.
1:22:07 Speaker 03 They'll say he is great, he's a great boss. I don't have, I don't have any.
1:22:11 Speaker 04 I don't know, sometimes you call the employees where you at? And they're not on time, they don't count the money's right.
1:22:17 Speaker 03 Bad boss.
1:22:18 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, it does, it's a bad leader.
1:22:19 Speaker 03 What, for them not being on time?
1:22:21 Caleb Hammer? Yes.
1:22:21 Speaker 03 Okay.
1:22:22 Caleb Hammer? Well, yeah, if they're repeatedly not on time, they wouldn't work there anymore.
1:22:27 Caleb Hammer? That's basic. That's actually very basic. They do that at McDonald's.
1:22:33 Speaker 03 And then that's what happens with, with most of the employees that don't come in. They, they get recommended when, when it comes to.
1:22:38 Caleb Hammer? They get recommended? That's good.
1:22:40 Speaker 04 Every time I visit the shop, it's always a new face I'd never seen before. It's never the same employees. Well, there's one or two here and there, but most of the time I'd never seen them. I'd never interview them or that mattered. Not that I would care, but.
1:22:54 Caleb Hammer? Do you feel like you took advantage of this man? Cause he's a sweet, handsome Asian twink. I feel like he was just taken advantage of. And I even did a racist accent of him in the beginning and that was very offensive because now I feel bad for him.
1:23:06 Speaker 03 Taken advantage of, no.
1:23:08 Caleb Hammer? Really?
1:23:09 Speaker 03 No.
1:23:09 Caleb Hammer? Because all these credit cards are on him. You'll go work to pay your bills, but you won't work to pay the credit cards.
1:23:14 Speaker 03 When you say pay my bills, the bills that I'm paying are for the business for me to keep it running.
1:23:18 Caleb Hammer? But not the credit cards of the business.
1:23:20 Speaker 03 Okay.
1:23:20 Caleb Hammer? Not the minimum monthly payments.
1:23:21 Speaker 03 I have to pay for the business to keep alive for us to be able to pay the credit cards.
1:23:27 Caleb Hammer? But it's eighty-six dollars.
1:23:28 Speaker 03 What, eighty-six dollars for what?
1:23:30 Caleb Hammer? It was the monthly payment on the Vera Bank. Eighty-six dollars?
1:23:33 Speaker 03 We wasn't missing any payments. Like I told you before, hold on, listen, listen, listen. The thing is, you missed in this whole conversation and all those things before.
1:23:40 Caleb Hammer? That's right. I apologize. I've missed everything.
1:23:43 Speaker 03 He, we were making, I never missed a payment before. He put all the credit, listen what I'm telling you. He put all the credit cards in one day.
1:23:52 Speaker 04 It's hard to keep track of nine credit cards spread out throughout the month.
1:23:55 Speaker 03 He put them all in one day.
1:23:56 Speaker 04 I told you in advance.
1:23:57 Speaker 03 So it wasn't just eighty-six dollars.
1:23:59 Speaker 04 And you were fine with it.
1:24:00 Speaker 03 It was nine hundred, maybe fifteen hundred, twenty-seven hundred dollars that was coming out the account at one time.
1:24:05 Caleb Hammer? Okay, American Express, the minimum was paid on this.
1:24:09 Speaker 03 Yes.
1:24:09 Caleb Hammer? Was not on Vera Bank, but was paid on this. It is three thousand, six hundred, twenty-one dollars and fifty cents. Minimum payment, one seventy-eight.
1:24:16 Speaker 03 Like I said, they all got moved on one day. When they were spreading around during the month, we made them fine. When they got moved on one day.
1:24:23 Caleb Hammer? But the Vera...
1:24:27 Caleb Hammer? Okay, maybe, maybe, potentially.
1:24:30 Speaker 03 They were, they were paying fine. We didn't never miss any payments.
1:24:33 Caleb Hammer? Okay, is that true? Because that's your credit. Is that true?
1:24:36 Speaker 04 Uh, uh, my credit score has changed a lot.
1:24:40 Caleb Hammer? Oh, that's interesting.
1:24:41 Speaker 03 About the payments not being made. The payments were being made for years. We never missed a payment.
1:24:46 Caleb Hammer? Well, by the way, spoiler, I brought in all my employees that were here and I asked if I made a change in the business and they all lost their job if I would still be a good boss. They said no, so he would actually not be a good boss, but you said he was a good boss and that's incorrect.
1:24:56 Speaker 05 He's not their boss, so.
1:24:58 Caleb Hammer? What? He's not their boss, she said?
1:25:01 Speaker 05 So that way it pertains to him. I don't really care for their opinions. That's, they're opinionating on you, not him.
1:25:07 Caleb Hammer? Opinionating on me?
1:25:08 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:25:09 Caleb Hammer? Wow. I've never been opinionated on.
1:25:12 Speaker 05 Yeah.
1:25:13 Caleb Hammer? Sounds messy.
1:25:14 Speaker 03 Like I said, uh, when the credit cards got-
1:25:16 Caleb Hammer? Logic was that? That's the most insane shit I've ever heard in my life.
1:25:19 Speaker 03 When the cards got moved, that's when the problem happened. When the dates of the credit cards got moved, that's when the payments first got missed. It continuously gets missed.
1:25:30 Caleb Hammer? You said that already. I got you. I got you on that, buddy. I got you. Okay, blue business. Why is this the same card or is this a different-
1:25:36 Speaker 04 We have three American blue business cards.
1:25:38 Caleb Hammer? Oh, my death. Okay, on here, $2,091.83 minimum monthly payment, 127.
1:25:48 Caleb Hammer? Interest, no fees, new charges, we're spending, what are we charging on? Square paid services, that makes sense. We're not paying for that anymore now, though, right?
1:25:55 Speaker 03 No.
1:25:56 Caleb Hammer? Good. Yes, please cancel that. Interest is accruing, of course. These balances are substantial. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's like the credit usage that is destroying your credit. Okay, here's the, the third blue. Okay. Okay, I mean, this is $24,004.405.31 with a minimum monthly payment of $2,704.
1:26:27 Caleb Hammer? Plus fees.
1:26:30 Caleb Hammer? Okay, he's missed every month this year so far.
1:26:34 Caleb Hammer? I thought we were only late one time because they moved things around? It just turns out when we get to the big balance, you're just not paying it.
1:26:39 Speaker 03 No.
1:26:40 Caleb Hammer? Oh?
1:26:40 Speaker 03 That's when it got, when the payment got missed is because he moved them all in one day.
1:26:47 Caleb Hammer? Okay, but so he's done that every month this year?
1:26:49 Speaker 03 Before that, we were making all the payments.
1:26:51 Caleb Hammer? So every month this year, he's done that?
1:26:54 Speaker 03 No, I'm saying they-
1:26:55 Caleb Hammer? You've missed every month this year?
1:26:56 Speaker 03 Listen, when they got moved, they were moved permanently-
1:26:59 Caleb Hammer? I got that.
1:26:59 Speaker 03 To that one day.
1:27:00 Caleb Hammer? Why didn't you then address that after the first miss?
1:27:04 Speaker 03 I did address it. He was no change.
1:27:05 Caleb Hammer? Why is it missed every month this year?
1:27:07 Speaker 03 Because we can't pay it.
1:27:09 Caleb Hammer? Well, that's the real answer. Thank you.
1:27:11 Speaker 03 Well, I'm saying we can't pay a big lump sum of payment like that.
1:27:13 Caleb Hammer? That's the actual answer. Why'd you tell me it's because he moved the date? No, you just couldn't pay this.
1:27:18 Speaker 03 No, you're not listening. The thing is, we moved the date. We already had these credit cards for years. We had the credit cards for years. I never missed a payment.
1:27:26 Caleb Hammer? Okay, no one's debating that.
1:27:27 Speaker 03 I'm saying, after he moved it, that's when it changed.
1:27:31 Caleb Hammer? When did he move it?
1:27:32 Speaker 03 What is it, three, four months? What the first payment we missed?
1:27:35 Caleb Hammer? No, no, no. When did he move it?
1:27:37 Speaker 03 I don't remember.
1:27:37 Caleb Hammer? When did you move it?
1:27:38 Speaker 04 Um, I can't get the exact date.
1:27:42 Caleb Hammer? Around?
1:27:43 Speaker 04 Three, three, four months?
1:27:44 Caleb Hammer? Okay, three, four months ago. So we're talking March? And why was it missed in January, February, March, April, May?
1:27:50 Speaker 03 We didn't miss anything there.
1:27:52 Caleb Hammer? It's buddy, it's been enough late fees to be every month this year so far.
1:27:55 Speaker 03 We probably got late fees, but it was paid.
1:27:59 Caleb Hammer? Okay, but you were late.
1:28:01 Speaker 03 Okay, late, but was paid.
1:28:03 Caleb Hammer? I don't see his credit report, so I can't say a hundred percent, but I mean, it's insane. It's gonna be thousands by the end of the year.
1:28:08 Speaker 03 We've still paid it.
1:28:10 Caleb Hammer? And fees.
1:28:10 Speaker 03 I didn't never miss, I'm, I never missed a payment. I didn't never say it was late. I didn't never miss a payment. I made all the payments that were paid.
1:28:18 Caleb Hammer? Okay, so W.
1:28:21 Speaker 04 Oh, that's a car note.
1:28:23 Caleb Hammer? For the business?
1:28:24 Speaker 03 For the, yes.
1:28:25 Speaker 04 The car that got repossessed.
1:28:26 Speaker 03 The Sprinter R. That we spent too much money on.
1:28:30 Caleb Hammer? Do you have any son Altma? Do you have any son Altma?
1:28:33 Speaker 05 No.
1:28:33 Caleb Hammer? Just making sure. What do you drive?
1:28:36 Speaker 03 Uh, I, I mean, I don't have a personal vehicle.
1:28:40 Caleb Hammer? Camry?
1:28:41 Speaker 04 Used to.
1:28:42 Caleb Hammer? What do you drive?
1:28:43 Speaker 05 Dodge.
1:28:44 Caleb Hammer? Uh, Charger?
1:28:46 Speaker 05 No.
1:28:47 Speaker 03 Horny.
1:28:48 Caleb Hammer? Oh.
1:28:49 Speaker 04 Yeah, am I missing something here?
1:28:50 Speaker 03 I don't know.
1:28:51 Speaker 04 Oh.
1:28:52 Caleb Hammer? Racism.
1:28:53 Speaker 04 Oh.
1:28:55 Caleb Hammer? Oh, looks like a nice SUV. Okay, um. So I mean, you only owe, oh, you only owe a thousand six hundred eighty-three to get off a credit. Whose credit is it on?

1:29:08 Speaker 04 It's always me.

1:29:09 Speaker 04 Yeah.
1:29:10 Caleb Hammer? I wish any of the burden fell on your business partner.
1:29:16 Caleb Hammer? That, that doesn't seem fair, does it?

1:29:59 Speaker 04 He has a bankruptcy on it.
1:30:01 Caleb Hammer? That's not very good.
1:30:02 Speaker 03 Yeah. And that's what main thing is.
1:30:04 Caleb Hammer? Watch you declare bankrupt because.
1:30:06 Speaker 03 So my, uh, like I told you, I had 18 acres of a house that I had. And when I was getting out of from the property, you know, saying I can declare bankruptcy because the fact is I wanted him to stop because I needed more time to sell to this other company. So I declared it. I didn't file. I filed it, but I never went through it. I kind of just filed it and, uh, I went, I went and sold the property after that. I just wanted to stop them from what they were doing before I could be able to sell the property.
1:30:32 Caleb Hammer? Bank of America.
1:30:33 Speaker 04 That's the main business checking account.
1:30:35 Caleb Hammer? Five hundred eleven dollars. What would the, you can't, hey, just objectively, not a good boss, not an owner. If your, if your bank account balance is negative for the business. Okay. She finally agreed to something.
1:30:46 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:30:47 Caleb Hammer? Right? Okay. She agrees with this. She thinks you're a bad boss. Finally she agrees with it.
1:30:52 Speaker 03 Okay.
1:30:53 Caleb Hammer? Uh, uh, this is objective. This is a number. This is an opinion. This is a number. You are not a good business owner if your bank account balance is negative.
1:31:03 Caleb Hammer? Thank you. Sick. We're zelling our money. So who are we zelling?
1:31:09 Speaker 04 Um, that goes to, what's that? Arcadia? Arcadia? Where you get your inventory?
1:31:13 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:31:14 Caleb Hammer? Okay. So inventory merchants, merchants. I will say at least it's, I mean, business ship Verizon two, two hundred six payments.
1:31:23 Speaker 03 Verizon is our internet.
1:31:24 Caleb Hammer? No, I got that, but two, two hundred six. We were probably past two in the previous month, huh?
1:31:28 Speaker 04 Um, I don't.
1:31:30 Speaker 03 I don't think so.
1:31:31 Speaker 04 I don't know why is that, is that?
1:31:33 Speaker 03 I don't know why I say that.
1:31:34 Caleb Hammer? Of course, we're getting overdraft like crazy. Um, then Amazon, Amazon, you know, Walmart and Spectrum Mobile.
1:31:40 Speaker 04 I'm pretty sure we had like over thirty overdrafts.
1:31:42 Caleb Hammer? Oh, yeah.
1:31:43 Speaker 04 Yeah.
1:31:44 Caleb Hammer? Oh, it's not good. FNBO. What's this?
1:31:47 Speaker 04 That's another credit card company.
1:31:48 Caleb Hammer? Oh, it's gone up. That's great. Because fees and interest.
1:31:50 Speaker 04 That one is, that one is closed along with the three American Express cards because that one was because I spoke with the representative. It was closed because.
1:31:59 Caleb Hammer? Glad you closed it so they can't spend on it. That's smart.
1:32:01 Speaker 04 Someone swiped it and then it just paid the business themselves.
1:32:06 Caleb Hammer? Yep. No, you should close every access to the debt that is under your name for the business. Time to learn the biggest lesson of your life? I, okay, I have some advice. Kevin should walk away. How do you feel about that?
1:32:21 Speaker 03 Doesn't bother me.
1:32:23 Caleb Hammer? Oh.
1:32:25 Speaker 04 Wow.
1:32:26 Caleb Hammer? How does that feel, Kevin? Walk me through it, buddy.
1:32:28 Speaker 04 Um, it doesn't bother you?
1:32:31 Speaker 03 I mean, I, there's two things, my life is, is ran in a certain way. You know, there's two things in life you can never do.
1:32:38 Speaker 04 I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and I have 50% equity. And you, and if I walk away, you think this is, this is okay? You go scot-free. You stole my money and ruined my credit score.
1:32:49 Speaker 03 I didn't steal your money for one. As far as in.
1:32:52 Speaker 04 You persuade, you begged me, I, to wire you 50 grand to pay for the employees and the car rap.
1:32:57 Speaker 03 I didn't beg you to do nothing. I didn't beg you to do anything.
1:33:00 Speaker 04 Are you gonna beg your stepfather? Or not stepfather, father-in-law? From, from inventory?
1:33:06 Speaker 03 I'm not gonna beg anybody and ask anybody for no money towards nothing. I told you what the problem was and what was going on with the business. And you elevated to be able to put into the business. And I said, okay, thank you. Appreciate it. I really need that. This is gonna help out with the business. Far as in me begging, I've never begged anybody.
1:33:23 Speaker 04 I counted 10 times I gave you money.
1:33:26 Speaker 03 Just because you, you gave me money?
1:33:28 Speaker 04 Because you asked for it.
1:33:29 Speaker 03 I, no, I, okay.
1:33:33 Caleb Hammer? The, the word beg hurts his pride for some reason. He has full main character syndrome in life.
1:33:38 Speaker 03 Yeah, I have full main character syndrome in my life.
1:33:40 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, that's a little.
1:33:41 Speaker 03 No, it's not.
1:33:42 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, it is. None of us, we're just, we're just beings that exist.
1:33:44 Speaker 04 Also, um. How much was that wedding ring?
1:33:51 Speaker 03 Why?
1:33:51 Speaker 05 Why?
1:33:52 Speaker 04 Because it's right after I gave you the money.
1:33:55 Speaker 03 No.
1:33:56 Speaker 04 And you had the cruise trip and you have the wedding plan.
1:33:59 Speaker 05 Was free. But our personal things that I have any, our personal things that we do never come from the business money.
1:34:07 Caleb Hammer? It kinda does, because everything goes through your cash app.
1:34:09 Speaker 05 Please do not insinuate that.
1:34:10 Caleb Hammer? Well, I'm gonna insinuate it, because everything goes through your personal cash app.
1:34:13 Speaker 03 I'm gonna get them straight right now.
1:34:14 Speaker 05 Everything does not go through my personal cash app.
1:34:16 Speaker 03 I have never spent anything personally. Of nothing with the business personally, ever.
1:34:21 Caleb Hammer? No offense, but you're not the most reliable person since you literally.
1:34:24 Speaker 03 You say, man, the thing is, I ain't never.
1:34:25 Caleb Hammer? Well, you should because millions of people are listening.
1:34:28 Speaker 03 I've never, I've never sat up there and spent nothing personal.
1:34:30 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, but you take every, but you literally pay yourself under the table. Like, you're not a reliable source of information for what you do with your money.
1:34:36 Speaker 03 I pay myself under the table because I use my tow truck to be able to run my own business.
1:34:39 Caleb Hammer? With how you do it, yes.
1:34:40 Speaker 03 Because I didn't pay taxes on my tow truck to be able to get some money.
1:34:44 Caleb Hammer? You're not a reliable person. Well, your morals are questionable.
1:34:46 Speaker 03 My morals are questionable because I utilize my tow truck to make money.
1:34:49 Caleb Hammer? Because you break the law. Yes.
1:34:50 Speaker 03 Because I didn't pay taxes on my tow truck.
1:34:51 Caleb Hammer? Because you chose, yes, you choose to break the law.
1:34:52 Speaker 03 You sound like an idiot. That's what you sound like.
1:34:54 Caleb Hammer? An idiot? No, I sound like a law-abiding citizen who.
1:34:55 Speaker 03 No, because, no, because you sound like, you, you, you sound like.
1:34:58 Caleb Hammer? Because of.
1:34:59 Speaker 03 No, you're studi patuti on some things that that.
1:35:01 Caleb Hammer? Studi patuti? I follow the law. If everyone followed the law like me, guess what? Things wouldn't be behind plastic things at Walgreens.
1:35:08 Speaker 03 And that's why this country isn't what it is right now. And that's why things are a way it is right now.
1:35:11 Caleb Hammer? Because people like you who don't follow the law?
1:35:13 Speaker 03 Because the fact is that. You, you just said some things. If everybody did this, nobody does that. Nobody does that. No.
1:35:19 Caleb Hammer? Do you guys follow the law? Big law followers here, big fans of the law.
1:35:23 Speaker 03 The being, you're, you're being biased when it comes to the law.
1:35:26 Caleb Hammer? Biased for following the law?
1:35:28 Speaker 03 What, the thing is, nobody's going out and murder or steal nothing but for nobody, nobody, period. Now, when it comes, now, when it comes to sit up here and going to go buy something or anything like that, or going to go work for something, or go do something like that, there's hundreds of thousands of people that go work off books. Hundreds of thousands. Half of America works off books to big money.
1:35:44 Caleb Hammer? Funny, because people do [BLEEP] doesn't mean I think [BLEEP].
1:35:47 Speaker 03 Man, bro, you're breaking in [BLEEP] with working off books. It's not the [BLEEP] same thing. Just because, like, this is because it's breaking the law in one way, and this way is not the same thing.
1:35:56 Caleb Hammer? But your example is.
1:35:57 Speaker 03 You're talking about breaking the law between smoking [BLEEP] and between breaking the law and working and working off books. That shit sounds stupid. And you want to get fused to sound stupid. That shit don't even mix.
1:36:06 Caleb Hammer? Being louder doesn't make you right.
1:36:08 Speaker 03 That shit don't mix.
1:36:09 Caleb Hammer? Being louder doesn't make you right.
1:36:10 Speaker 03 Now you want to get quiet, and you were the one being up and rattling at first when you say stupid shit.
1:36:14 Caleb Hammer? Okay, it can be loud if you want.
1:36:16 Speaker 03 That shit don't even sound right, bro. That shit don't even, that don't even mix. Smoking [BLEEP] and working off books are not the same thing.
1:36:23 Caleb Hammer? Apples and oranges, it's not a hundred percent. You're right. But if you're going to use the example because other people do bad things, I can too.
1:36:30 Speaker 03 Bro, that doesn't-
1:36:31 Caleb Hammer? Okay, he doesn't get it. I get, doesn't-
1:36:34 Speaker 03 No, because it's stupid. And that's why you're stuttering right now, because it's a dumbass answer.
1:36:38 Caleb Hammer? Am I stuttering?
1:36:38 Speaker 03 Come on, bro, you just stuttered.
1:36:40 Caleb Hammer? Huh?
1:36:41 Speaker 03 Oh my god, huh? You can, oh, you can hear.
1:36:43 Caleb Hammer? I don't remember stuttering. Maybe I did, I don't, maybe I don't hear my own stutter, that's okay. But just because other people do it, doesn't mean it's good.
1:36:50 Speaker 03 Okay, I didn't never say it was good.
1:36:52 Caleb Hammer? That was the example you were doing. You said hundreds of thousands of people do it.
1:36:54 Speaker 03 You're labeling, smoking, and having heroin.
1:36:56 Caleb Hammer? Injecting.
1:36:57 Speaker 03 So, working off books.
1:37:00 Speaker 03 That's not the same thing.
1:37:02 Speaker 04 I think we're getting sidetracked.
1:37:04 Speaker 03 He's making it sidetrack.
1:37:06 Speaker 04 Anyways, can we continue with the statements?
1:37:09 Caleb Hammer? Yes.
1:37:12 Caleb Hammer? Your example is weird, buddy. I don't know why you sat here and defended working off books because hundreds of thousands of people do it. That's insane.
1:37:21 Speaker 03 Bro, here you go again on the same thing and the same stuff. And whatsoever like that.
1:37:25 Caleb Hammer? Put away the [bleep] thing.
1:37:26 Speaker 03 You the one mentioned it. How you gonna say put away the heroin thing when you said-
1:37:29 Caleb Hammer? Because it's making you very upset.
1:37:31 Speaker 03 You opened the door for the shit.
1:37:32 Caleb Hammer? Because it's making you very upset, so I'm saying put it away.
1:37:33 Speaker 03 Because you opened the door for dumb shit, and I don't like dumb shit when people say things.
1:37:36 Caleb Hammer? Let's close the door, buddy. That door upsets you, let's close it. Okay, door's closed, you're not scared anymore, okay?
1:37:42 Speaker 03 I'm not scared.
1:37:43 Caleb Hammer? Okay, door's closed.
1:37:44 Speaker 03 It's just you saying something that don't make sense.
1:37:46 Caleb Hammer? The door's closed, calm down, calm down. The door's closed. Okay, no more [bleep]. Door's closed. Hey, hope, close the home, I get it. Door's closed. Okay. You saying just because other hundreds of thousands of people do it, does not mean it's okay.
1:38:01 Caleb Hammer? That's a basic... Society exists because we choose to do good. Because we choose to be decent people. And not break the law.
1:38:10 Speaker 03 Here you go with the law thing.
1:38:11 Caleb Hammer? Oh, okay, yeah.
1:38:12 Speaker 03 You're still going with the same shit.
1:38:14 Caleb Hammer? Why don't you care about the law?
1:38:15 Speaker 03 You're still going with the same shit.
1:38:17 Caleb Hammer? Why don't you care about the law?
1:38:18 Speaker 03 It's the basis of the law, period.
1:38:20 Caleb Hammer? Yes, why don't you care about it?
1:38:23 Speaker 03 You know what, why, you know what, just because you never broke the law? And just because you're, you're, I'm glad, I'm glad you're perfect in your life.
1:38:29 Caleb Hammer? No, I'm J. Walk.
1:38:30 Speaker 03 I'm glad, I'm glad you never broke the law. I'm glad you never did anything. I'm sorry, but.
1:38:34 Caleb Hammer? Why would I do things that hurt society?
1:38:36 Speaker 03 I'm sorry. You know, a lot of people do things that hurt society. I'm sorry, I'm, I'm, I'm.
1:38:39 Caleb Hammer? So that makes it okay?
1:38:40 Speaker 03 You know what? You're perfect in life.
1:38:42 Caleb Hammer? No, I didn't say that.
1:38:43 Speaker 03 You, you, you're evidently, you are.
1:38:45 Caleb Hammer? But I don't defend doing bad things.
1:38:47 Speaker 03 I'm not defending. I had to do what I need to do.
1:38:49 Caleb Hammer? That's defending it.
1:38:51 Speaker 03 Okay, I'm glad you're perfect. And you maybe you need to teach me how to be perfect like you.
1:38:55 Caleb Hammer? Okay, don't break the law.
1:38:56 Speaker 03 Okay.
1:38:57 Caleb Hammer? Did you learn a lesson?
1:38:58 Speaker 03 No, because that was stupid.
1:38:59 Caleb Hammer? I just taught you how to not break the law.
1:39:01 Speaker 03 No, I'm talking about making money.
1:39:03 Caleb Hammer? If it wasn't for people that made excuses for breaking the law, we'd have safe cities. I wouldn't need to call the person at the front desk to get a toothbrush.
1:39:12 Speaker 03 How do we make the money to be able to get where you need to go to?
1:39:15 Caleb Hammer? Get a job.
1:39:16 Speaker 03 Okay.
1:39:17 Caleb Hammer? But you can't work for anyone and I'm not surprised. Look how you behave when you're just sitting in front of a camera.
1:39:22 Speaker 03 Okay.
1:39:23 Caleb Hammer? I'm not surprised you said you can't get a job. I don't think you'd last there very long, would you?
1:39:26 Speaker 05 When did I say that?
1:39:27 Caleb Hammer? You just said he has to be his own boss.
1:39:29 Speaker 05 I never said he acts. I said he is.
1:39:32 Caleb Hammer? So he ain't gonna work for nobody. It's kind of a southern accent because I didn't want to do a black one.
1:39:36 Speaker 05 I am.
1:39:36 Caleb Hammer? I'd be racist.
1:39:38 Speaker 03 Brother, you have a lot of subjective things about life.
1:39:42 Caleb Hammer? Septic things about life?
1:39:44 Speaker 03 Bro, you can't understand the shit I'm saying or whatever.
1:39:46 Caleb Hammer? Yes, when you mumble, that's correct.
1:39:47 Speaker 03 Okay. Like I said, you have a lot of things that you think about life that are not right. And you know what I'm saying?
1:39:53 Caleb Hammer? Following the law?
1:39:54 Speaker 03 What I'm saying is that what's.
1:39:55 Caleb Hammer? This is your business partner, Kevin.
1:39:57 Speaker 03 Really happening in life, period. I'm glad you're perfect and things are going right.
1:40:02 Caleb Hammer? He doesn't care if he gets audited by the IRS.
1:40:04 Speaker 04 And he says he's okay if I'm, it doesn't bother him if I walk away.
1:40:07 Caleb Hammer? It doesn't, which I think is fair enough when I'm the onboarding conversation.
1:40:10 Speaker 03 I can't change people that want to walk away.
1:40:13 Caleb Hammer? And he can't change you. That's why he called you a fraud in the pre-interview. And he's right.
1:40:17 Speaker 03 There's nothing fraud about me.
1:40:19 Caleb Hammer? He called you a fraud. I'm calling you a fraud. The audience will call you a fraud.
1:40:23 Speaker 03 Call me a fraud because the fact is I'm going to continue doing what I need to do.
1:40:27 Caleb Hammer? Why she's with you, I don't know.
1:40:28 Speaker 03 Because everybody know that I'm not a fraud.
1:40:30 Caleb Hammer? Okay, everybody except for literally anyone.
1:40:31 Speaker 03 All my employees are still there with me and whatsoever like that. I'm probably, they probably got all the jobs and stuff like that.
1:40:37 Caleb Hammer? Except for them not working with you because they don't have a place to live.
1:40:40 Speaker 03 I don't have the money to be able to pay them. I have a, a, a big support team when it comes to my company, it comes to me, it comes to everything that we're doing. I have a big support, big, big support.
1:40:50 Caleb Hammer? This is true.
1:40:53 Speaker 04 I can't verify that.
1:40:55 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, I don't think anything he says will ever be able to be verified. Mostly because it's off books.
1:41:02 Caleb Hammer? Okay. Yeah, there's a light fee on that. You're reliable. Truist, what's going on?
1:41:07 Speaker 04 That's another bigger credit card balance that was used for.
1:41:11 Caleb Hammer? Let me guess, whose credit is it on?
1:41:13 Speaker 04 All of them are undermined.
1:41:14 Caleb Hammer? That's interesting.
1:41:15 Speaker 04 Yeah.
1:41:16 Speaker 03 That's something we already told you already, though.
1:41:18 Caleb Hammer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm, you know, doing a show right now.
1:41:22 Caleb Hammer? I'm like keeping people up with what's going on and how you're a bad person.
1:41:25 Speaker 03 I'm a bad person.
1:41:26 Caleb Hammer? You put all the responsibility and consequences on him and you have, you're not gonna have to deal with anything.
1:41:30 Speaker 03 No, that's not the way it's supposed to win.
1:41:32 Caleb Hammer? That's not what it's supposed to win?
1:41:34 Speaker 03 That is not the way it's supposed to win. The way everything is going is not.
1:41:38 Caleb Hammer? He's like speaking your native language.
1:41:40 Speaker 04 Like what?
1:41:40 Caleb Hammer? What's he saying?
1:41:42 Speaker 03 That is not the way it, it is, oh my gosh, bro.
1:41:46 Speaker 04 Do you need water?
1:41:48 Speaker 03 I'm good. That is not the way everything is supposed to be like, all that stuff that you're writing down.
1:41:54 Caleb Hammer? Why is it?
1:41:55 Speaker 03 Because we supposed to pay all that off. Like I said, we supposed to pay it off with the SBA loan.
1:42:00 Caleb Hammer? Guys, those.
1:42:01 Speaker 03 We did not, we, we did not get the SBA loan because we didn't know nothing about them not being able to loan to a.
1:42:10 Caleb Hammer? Interest late fees. No one's surprised. Make of America, what's going on?
1:42:14 Speaker 04 Um, that's another credit card.
1:42:17 Caleb Hammer? Should I trigger him real quick? Whose credit is it on?
1:42:21 Speaker 04 That is undermined.
1:42:22 Caleb Hammer? What? That's crazy. I've been giving you guys lots of insults, so let me give you a compliment. All three of you are very attractive individuals. Congratulations. Good genes. Well done. Okay, she's stuck on the Apple Watch thing. That's kind of her. Is that what you use to distract her? Now she's starting to misbehave.
1:42:42 Speaker 03 We're still running things. We have to keep running them.
1:42:45 Caleb Hammer? On an Apple Watch? That makes sense with how these books look.
1:42:51 Caleb Hammer? Ten thousand dollars, seventy one dollars, fifty two cents. Minimum monthly payment, one thousand seven hundred fifty dollars, sixty two cents. Late fees, interest, no one's surprised. It's a disaster. It's a I gotta go on someone else's podcast. Uh oh, we've been filming a long time.
1:43:12 Caleb Hammer? I mean, I don't think we're gonna solve anything here for just being, if we're being completely real. Inc., two thousand dollars, a hundred eighty-three minimum, late fees, interest, Inc., eighteen thousand nine hundred thirty-six dollars. Interest, late fees, no one's surprised. Bank of America, hey, at least there's not a negative balance on here, even though the balance certainly went down. Oh, actually, return, post a check, I return, post a check, return, post a
1:43:38 Speaker 04 Yeah, those are the most recent transactions.
1:43:39 Caleb Hammer? Oh, that's wonderful. Why, why are we purchasing Timu? On our business?
1:43:46 Speaker 04 Ricky likes to purchase things on Timu, Amazon for work-related. I don't know what they are, but
1:43:52 Speaker 03 They were stickers for the business.
1:43:54 Speaker 04 It, it ranges from anything. It could be stickers. It could be baggies.
1:43:57 Caleb Hammer? HEB, the grocery store?
1:43:59 Speaker 03 You say what? We own a food truck.
1:44:02 Caleb Hammer? Okay. What food do you cook?
1:44:04 Speaker 03 Alligator tacos.
1:44:05 Speaker 04 That's the most popular one.
1:44:08 Caleb Hammer? My alligator, man. Honestly, it's like the worst meat I've ever had. I'll be honest. But the tacos taste good because at least you cover it in a lot of Cezanne shit, but alligators is like, it's like the most mid-food.
1:44:18 Speaker 04 You should try it.
1:44:19 Speaker 03 It's, it's pretty good.
1:44:20 Caleb Hammer? I'll try it. You cook it?
1:44:21 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:44:22 Caleb Hammer? But after, after filming this, I don't know if I trust what you're gonna serve me, but
1:44:30 Caleb Hammer? I bet, I bet, I bet it's yummy. I mean, tacos are delicious, so. So, listen, guys, it's such a mess in terms of you can't tell me how much it's gonna cost us. I like, I can't make a budget specifically. What I will do, the guy, our fractional CFO, I will get him to look at everything and spend hours and give you guys the rundown. Something that cannot be done, even if we filmed a two-hour episode, because he's gonna have to spend literally like a few weeks. Okay, so I will lend my fractional CFO. I've never done that before. That is a big deal, and it means a lot, and you cannot be defensive.
1:45:04 Caleb Hammer? He's gonna give you the real shit and you cannot be defensive.
1:45:07 Speaker 03 I just wanna make-
1:45:08 Caleb Hammer? He's a man, he's a boss!
1:45:10 Speaker 03 The thing is, is that I wanna make this business work.
1:45:12 Caleb Hammer? Me too.
1:45:13 Speaker 03 I wanna make it work.
1:45:13 Caleb Hammer? Listen to the fractional CFO, he's gonna work through your shit. But here's the advice I recommend.
1:45:19 Speaker 03 I'm listening.
1:45:20 Caleb Hammer? Focus, pick two of those.
1:45:21 Speaker 03 Yes, sir.
1:45:22 Caleb Hammer? Kill the other ones that are not making money, sell the assets you got, throw them towards the debt, whatever it is, you know?
1:45:29 Speaker 03 That's-
1:45:29 Caleb Hammer? Or just put them into the business, uh, checking account. Run the other ones lean, tight, all your energy. Focus on what you do best and what makes the most amount of money. Stop trying to do all these different things. People like you and me.
1:45:44 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:45:45 Caleb Hammer? More entrepreneurial people, we get excited.
1:45:47 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:45:47 Caleb Hammer? We see a business opportunity, we wanna do it. This is a flaw I have to stop myself constantly. And I've surrounded myself with people who can tell me to shut the [BEEP] up.
1:45:55 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:45:55 Caleb Hammer? Cause you need those kinda people around you. You need to not get excited, you need to focus in on a couple of the profit centers that do really well and are proven, okay?
1:46:04 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:46:05 Caleb Hammer? That's what you're gonna focus on, you're gonna take the other money, invest it into that, or just leave it on the side. Maybe even pay it back, you might have to go through bankruptcy then.
1:46:12 Speaker 04 I explore that option.
1:46:14 Caleb Hammer? That is a very real potential, so we can just wipe clean and these business profit centers we focus on. And you're gonna run it all in QuickBooks? It's no longer hemp tied, so hopefully you can use something like Stripe or something. Again, I don't know, you gotta figure out some kinda payment servicer, but that's the reality. You're getting away from the hemp, maybe focus on the food truck and party bus, you know?
1:46:36 Speaker 03 That's, yeah, that's most, most [BEEP] truck.
1:46:38 Caleb Hammer? I love that.
1:46:39 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:46:39 Caleb Hammer? Let my fractional CFO clean up the mess of what is happening in the books. He's gonna need access to your cash up, he's gonna need access to all this shit.
1:46:46 Speaker 03 Yeah.
1:46:46 Caleb Hammer? Cause the reality is it's a [BEEP] mess, it's impossible for anyone to look at in the kinda situation we're in right now.
1:46:52 Speaker 03 What we focused on was just the party bus and the videography for now. You know, we had, we stopped doing the hemp because we didn't wanna keep buying product and with the hemp business going down, back and forth. That's why we put up a bunch of vehicles and we didn't really- It it it it really hurts me and it made me upset to lose the Sprinter bus van that we had, you know, and get it repo like that.
1:47:15 Caleb Hammer? I get it.
1:47:16 Speaker 03 But the motor didn't work and the transmission went out.
1:47:19 Caleb Hammer? Listen, I mean, I have to move on just because I have to go be on someone else's show. Here in a bin, we've been filming a long one, but sit down with my fractional CFO. This is a fucking mess and there is a deep lack of trust here and it is not unfair that that is there. You shouldn't be involved in this shit. I don't know why the you're here because it all of a sudden becomes a two V one thing, which is just strict, disgustingly unfair. Focus on your own shit. Let them deal with this. Get out of it.
1:47:45 Speaker 05 They they handle all of that. I don't.
1:47:47 Caleb Hammer? You're still a part of the business and you raise your you raise your opinions, which makes no sense. So let them focus on the business. Sit down with my fractional CFO. Hammer Financial, so I mean, it might be the first negative ever. It's not possible. It's zero to 10. Get yours at calebhammer.com.
