Latest / Drawn of History / Caleb Hammer Got a Death Threat For Saying Americans Overspend on Cars _ Joe Rogan
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So you get threats for like what specifically do they
- 0:03Speaker 1: get upset at. It's literally just saying, don't spend your money.
- 0:06Speaker 2: It's everything they don't like that I do roast, consensual,
- 0:09Speaker 2: consentual roast, like I call a fat bitch of hat bitch.
- 0:14Speaker 2: But I had the conversation with her before, and if
- 0:16Speaker 2: she didn't want me to, I wouldn't have done that,
- 0:18Speaker 2: because we have a no no list where people get
- 0:20Speaker 2: to say what they don't want us to talk about,
- 0:23Speaker 2: and then I just won't talk about that. But that's
- 0:26Speaker 2: very nice for you, It is very nice. So that's
- 0:27Speaker 2: because we try to run, you know, a moral consentual show,
- 0:29Speaker 2: all that good stuff. But I love to roast people
- 0:32Speaker 2: and just call out their features. It's just dumb shit
- 0:34Speaker 2: like that. So people get offended by that, offended on
- 0:36Speaker 2: behalf of someone who's not offended in the first place,
- 0:38Speaker 2: and then they get very angry. I got a death
- 0:41Speaker 2: threat on Twitter yesterday for sat Americans spend too much
- 0:45Speaker 2: money on cars. He said I should that it's crazy
- 0:49Speaker 2: that Caleb Hammer's still breathing air, and that he should
- 0:52Speaker 2: come up from San Antonio and kill me or something
- 0:53Speaker 2: I don't remember, or something like that. It's kind of
- 0:56Speaker 2: crazy because Americans spend too much money on cars. Maybe
- 1:00Speaker 2: cars maybe, but objectively we do.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Check his profile. Is it a real person?
- 1:06Speaker 2: It said, San Antonio. That's all I know. That's all
- 1:09Speaker 2: I know. I'm sure it was like a could be
- 1:11Speaker 2: about second profile. He was. He was responding to it.
- 1:15Speaker 2: He was excited. You know, he got a crazy person.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yeah, And we get emails all the time.
- 1:20Speaker 1: No.
- 1:20Speaker 2: People people think I'm evil because they say I don't
- 1:24Speaker 2: talk about the issues that let us here in the
- 1:25Speaker 2: first place. But it's a personal responsibility show because more
- 1:29Speaker 2: people have agency than they're willing to acknowledge. Right, Like,
- 1:33Speaker 2: we're in the highest disposable income society and the history
- 1:36Speaker 2: of human existence. Not everything's perfect. Cost of housing's gone up,
- 1:40Speaker 2: cost of school's gone up, cost of healthcare has gone up.
- 1:42Speaker 2: We can acknowledge those realities, but people have agency. People
- 1:46Speaker 2: have agency. The amount of going out to eat among
- 1:50Speaker 2: the generation's Z is insane compared to any other generation.
- 1:54Speaker 2: And not only that, but now for twenty five percent
- 1:58Speaker 2: of they're going out to eat multiple times a week
- 2:00Speaker 2: is getting food delivered, and that has a ninety percent
- 2:03Speaker 2: markup ninety percent and then they're complaining that they can't
- 2:07Speaker 2: afford to pretty much do anything, get a nice apartment
- 2:11Speaker 2: or what. Now, but for spending like a thousand dollars
- 2:13Speaker 2: a month, which is very normal for a person on
- 2:15Speaker 2: my show going out to eat. You're right, you can't
- 2:18Speaker 2: get an apartment of your dreams when a thousand dollars
- 2:22Speaker 2: a month is going to McDonald's. In other places, cooking
- 2:25Speaker 2: at homes become like a burden, become a victim complex now. Well,
- 2:31Speaker 2: actually that was another thing that triggered the internet. I
- 2:33Speaker 2: kind of agreed with Kevin O'Leary when it said our
- 2:35Speaker 2: young people are broke because they spent twenty eight hours
- 2:38Speaker 2: going out to eat. Well, it's not that specifically only,
- 2:41Speaker 2: but it's the death of a small of a thousand cuts.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And yes, just twenty eight dollars three times a week
- 2:48Speaker 2: becomes an actual halfway decent retirement fund. If you put
- 2:52Speaker 2: it in the s and P. Five hundred for a
- 2:53Speaker 2: few times a week, that does put off future goals
- 2:57Speaker 2: that you have. And the Internet went crazy against me.
- 3:00Speaker 2: They hated me for suggesting that that they shouldn't be
- 3:03Speaker 2: able to get They're like, well, how do we eat groceries?
- 3:05Speaker 2: Meal prep, meal plans. This is what everyone's done since forever.
- 3:10Speaker 2: We live in the best period ever for humans, best
- 3:14Speaker 2: period ever. Our jobs are better, everything's better. Even when
- 3:17Speaker 2: you think of like buying the starter home in the
- 3:20Speaker 2: fifties and whatever. You know, they were like the size
- 3:22Speaker 2: of this room that we're in right now, mass produced. Okay,
- 3:24Speaker 2: that's still a home. That's great you could buy, But
- 3:26Speaker 2: you were going to a job that you hated, that
- 3:28Speaker 2: you were sweating, that had no ac where you're working
- 3:31Speaker 2: with your hands all day and it was miserable. They
- 3:33Speaker 2: didn't like the jobs. They liked that they had a
- 3:35Speaker 2: good pain job. But now people go to the office
- 3:39Speaker 2: and they think they're a victim for not being able
- 3:41Speaker 2: to meal prep before going to the office. The a
- 3:43Speaker 2: seed office. Like it's hard for me to sympathize with that,
- 3:46Speaker 2: especially when I filmed three of them a week, all
- 3:49Speaker 2: one real people, mostly gen Z and millennials, who are
- 3:54Speaker 2: absolute victims in everything. They are victims and everything they think.
- 3:59Speaker 2: They think if they don't get a twenty twenty seven
- 4:02Speaker 2: brand new car instead of a twenty twenty five car,
- 4:05Speaker 2: that they're gonna die. That all of a sudden, cars
- 4:07Speaker 2: two years ago were the most dangerous things. They have
- 4:09Speaker 2: to get a sixty to seventy thousand hour car loan
- 4:11Speaker 2: at a twenty percent interest rate or else their kids
- 4:13Speaker 2: will die.
- 4:15Speaker 1: You've actually had that conversation every think that they're gonna die.
- 4:19Speaker 2: No, because the excuses they use is that I wanted
- 4:25Speaker 2: a safe car for my kids. That's fine, But is
- 4:28Speaker 2: the insinuation that twenty twenty four, twenty twenty three, twenty
- 4:31Speaker 2: twenty two cars would literally go on the highway and
- 4:35Speaker 2: blow up. Like I don't understand. They insist if they
- 4:38Speaker 2: don't get a brand new car that is it is
- 4:40Speaker 2: not a safe car. That is an argument every time
- 4:43Speaker 2: with Americans. The one point six trillion dollars sort of
- 4:46Speaker 2: one point five trillion dollars in car loan debt.
- 4:48Speaker 1: So do you think that's just a lack of education,
- 4:50Speaker 1: because like, a car from twenty twenty is just as
- 4:53Speaker 1: safe as a car from twenty twenty six. There's no difference. Absolutely,
- 4:56Speaker 1: There's no difference in airbags, no difference in anti lock breaks,
- 5:00Speaker 1: very few differences in any of the technology involved. In fact,
- 5:03Speaker 1: I would I tell people, especially people that want a
- 5:05Speaker 1: nice car, one of the best investments you can get
- 5:08Speaker 1: is get an electric car that's about two years old.
- 5:12Speaker 1: The like electric Porsches and electric Audis in particular, fucking
- 5:16Speaker 1: nobody wants them. Man, nobody wants to use ones, and
- 5:19Speaker 1: they're still great. Oh yeah, and like, okay, let's look
- 5:23Speaker 1: up an Audi e Tron. Look up a twenty twenty
- 5:27Speaker 1: three Audi e Tron. How much does it cost now
- 5:31Speaker 1: to buy? And what was it new? I think it's
- 5:34Speaker 1: like less than fifty percent. So there's certain cars where
- 5:39Speaker 1: you buy them and they're worth as much a couple
- 5:41Speaker 1: of years later, like a nice BMW or a Porsche.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Like you could get an M five, a BMWM five
- 5:47Speaker 1: and then sell it a year or two later and
- 5:50Speaker 1: lose very little money, if any. You get a fucking
- 5:53Speaker 1: electric car and you try to sell that bitch in
- 5:56Speaker 1: a couple of years, like an electric Porsche. Okay, look
- 5:58Speaker 1: at this twenty twenty two Audi Eron twenty five thousand dollars,
- 6:03Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Auty e Tron twenty seven thousand dollars.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Do you know how fucking crazy that is? That is
- 6:11Speaker 1: a twenty twenty three, two hundred amazing car. Those cars
- 6:17Speaker 1: are fucking incredible. It's a technological tour de Force. They're
- 6:21Speaker 1: fast as shit. It's all wheel drive. It's an suv,
- 6:25Speaker 1: a Premium plus quatro twenty seven thousand dollars. It only
- 6:32Speaker 1: has thirty seven thousand miles on it. Those things don't
- 6:34Speaker 1: have engines like a combustion engine. They don't have nearly
- 6:38Speaker 1: the econom maintenance that a regular car does. You don't
- 6:40Speaker 1: have to change the oil. Just plug that bitch in.
- 6:44Speaker 1: You have a fucking amazing car.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:46Speaker 1: The battery range is not.
- 6:47Speaker 2: The longst that's the excuse they use.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Twenty six miles is plenty for you to get to
- 6:52Speaker 1: work and get home, thank you, and go out to dinner,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and you can plug that bitch in. I have a
- 6:57Speaker 1: Tesla and it has like it's a model ass. What
- 7:00Speaker 1: does the model ass have? Three four?
- 7:03Speaker 3: I can understand this though, this argument that this person
- 7:06Speaker 3: might not have anywhere then to charge it, that's an issue.
- 7:09Speaker 2: It's so easy to get in your house now, but.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Easy at all.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you go to one of those charging stations,
- 7:17Speaker 1: you're very vulnerable. If I was a chick, I'm never
- 7:18Speaker 1: going to electric car if I didn't have a house.
- 7:21Speaker 3: You have to do it every single everything though, every station.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Once that's true something, and like, how long does it
- 7:26Speaker 1: take to charge up one of those bitches?
- 7:28Speaker 3: Thirty to forty five minutes, so you have to thirty
- 7:30Speaker 3: forty minutes every day.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair enough.
- 7:34Speaker 1: That's fair for the getting a fucking bitching car for
- 7:37Speaker 1: twenty seven grand.
- 7:39Speaker 2: And more car More apartment complexes are installing those searching
- 7:43Speaker 2: stations anyway that you can just leave your car and overnight.
- 7:45Speaker 3: I live in one, and you can never actually get
- 7:47Speaker 3: to the thing.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Why is it because someone's always in.
- 7:49Speaker 3: There to it and they never move their fucking car.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Keep it pluying. I don't know who it is. You
- 7:53Speaker 3: call them and yeah, flatten theer tires. Don't do that.
- 7:56Speaker 2: But I try to think of options, right, because there's
- 7:59Speaker 2: even the options of the place you work might have
- 8:01Speaker 2: one right outside my building. There's where we film is
- 8:05Speaker 2: multiple car charging places parking you go to work. So
- 8:08Speaker 2: I'm not saying everyone can do it, but if you
- 8:11Speaker 2: can do it, it's a great option. But even though you
- 8:13Speaker 2: can get used gas cars for relatively similar but they
- 8:17Speaker 2: will defend to the death on my show, having to
- 8:19Speaker 2: get a sixty thousand dollars large suv and an insane
- 8:24Speaker 2: interest rate for an eight year loan, eight year term. Crazy,
- 8:28Speaker 2: But no, you asked me, why are they doing it.
- 8:31Speaker 2: It's American, baby, that's American. That's freedom. You need a
- 8:35Speaker 2: car to get to your job, and you need a
- 8:37Speaker 2: job to get to your car. And our culture is
- 8:40Speaker 2: built around the house and car. Your failure. If you
- 8:42Speaker 2: don't get a house, you're a failure. If you don't
- 8:44Speaker 2: get a car. It is American as it gets.
- 8:47Speaker 1: That is true, and it is true that people want
- 8:50Speaker 1: a new one. They want a new one. That's part
- 8:52Speaker 1: of the status of owning a vehicle. You want to
- 8:54Speaker 1: be able to say it's twenty twenty six. Looking at
- 8:57Speaker 1: us these new features, it's fun, Apple Karpley.
- 9:00Speaker 2: People actually care what the person next to them thinks
- 9:02Speaker 2: is the stoplight for some reason. I don't know why.
- 9:04Speaker 1: That's a weird one. It's a weird one, but we do,
- 9:07Speaker 1: and we especially do when we're not doing that well.
- 9:10Speaker 1: So you want like every single sign that shows that
- 9:12Speaker 1: you're doing well. You know, a nice watch, a nice this,
- 9:15Speaker 1: and nice that.
