Speaker 1: I'm a spiritual healer and holistic health coach.
0:03
Speaker 2: So what I coach people on is how to find
0:07
Speaker 2: joy and healing in the present moment.
0:10
Speaker 3: And speaking of reality, Bank of America, we are sitting at... $ 3, 984.
0:14
Speaker 3: We're above the credit limit by almost $ 2, 000. $ 1, 000 of
0:19
Speaker 3: interest lost this year so far, and you've had other
0:22
Speaker 3: late fees. I do not know the total balance on
0:25
Speaker 3: your student loans, though.
0:26
Speaker 1: I think it's about $ 27, 000.
0:26
Speaker 2: Kill me.
0:27
Speaker 1: This is Amber, a 27-year-old spiritual.
0:28
Speaker 4: Healer, and she has $ 33, 283 in debt, with 27 of
0:30
Speaker 4: that being from student loans, some of which are close
0:32
Speaker 4: to a decade old. Considering that, I hope she isn't
0:42
Speaker 4: advising people to find joy and healing in the present
0:45
Speaker 4: moment by sacrificing their future from racking up tens of
0:48
Speaker 4: thousands of dollars of debt purchasing crap they don't need
0:51
Speaker 4: like she does.
0:52
Speaker 3: How do we feel comfortable, by any means, giving anyone
0:57
Speaker 3: advice on life if you are just failing in the
1:04
Speaker 3: United States?
1:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am not a financial coach.
1:07
Speaker 4: As if poor finances aren't one of the most common
1:10
Speaker 4: reasons that people are unhappy, and you're giving them the
1:12
Speaker 4: mindset of, enjoy the present moment when that's made you destitute. Anyway,
1:18
Speaker 4: welcome to Financial Audit done by YouTuber Caleb Hammer. This
1:21
Speaker 4: show is a financial podcast that has exploded out of nowhere,
1:24
Speaker 4: going from under 100k subscribers just a year ago, to
1:28
Speaker 4: now over 900k. With that said, I've watched about 10
1:32
Speaker 4: episodes of this, and Amber's episode is certainly the craziest
1:35
Speaker 4: one that I've seen. Now everyone I've seen on this
1:37
Speaker 4: show is at least a little delusional, and they kind
1:40
Speaker 4: of aren't looking to face the harsh reality of exactly
1:42
Speaker 4: how bad their financial situation is. The common theme that
1:46
Speaker 4: I see on every episode is that if the people
1:48
Speaker 4: on the show just faced reality, looked at their spending,
1:51
Speaker 4: looked at their income, and developed a plan to make
1:53
Speaker 4: more and spend less money, they'd be fine in a
1:56
Speaker 4: reasonably short amount of time. But they weren't willing to
1:58
Speaker 4: face reality, and that's why they're in trouble and on
2:01
Speaker 4: the show. Amber is definitely the most extreme example of
2:04
Speaker 4: that delusion. That being said, as far as I can tell,
2:07
Speaker 4: Amber doesn't really have any paying clients for her spiritual
2:11
Speaker 4: coaching business. So let's hear what she actually does for
2:14
Speaker 4: a living.
2:14
Speaker 3: What do you do for a living?
2:15
Speaker 2: Right now to make ends meet-ish. You've seen my financial statements.
2:22
Speaker 1: We are making commercials.
2:24
Speaker 2: I'm balancing trying to participate in a capitalistic society that
2:30
Speaker 2: I really resent because I want to be able to
2:33
Speaker 2: change this country from the inside out.
2:35
Speaker 4: Okay, so she makes web commercials for like Facebook and
2:38
Speaker 4: stuff while she tries to balance out living in a
2:40
Speaker 4: capitalistic society that she really resents. That being said, what
2:44
Speaker 4: kind of ads does she do?
2:46
Speaker 3: What products have you sold? I don't recognize you.
2:48
Speaker 1: Oh my god, okay.
2:49
Speaker 2: So there's this one built ad that goes around a
2:51
Speaker 2: lot where I'm telling people, um, hey, you can get
2:55
Speaker 2: paid early and you can use this money to pay
2:58
Speaker 2: off your rent and you'll make rewards points.
3:00
Speaker 4: I hate capitalism. Meanwhile, you do predatory ads for payday
3:04
Speaker 4: loan companies. I mean, she basically described what a payday
3:07
Speaker 4: loan was there. I guess they're now giving out rewards
3:09
Speaker 4: points like credit cards do for the repeat customer who's
3:13
Speaker 4: bad with money.
3:13
Speaker 2: They only paid me like 200 bucks.
3:17
Speaker 4: You sold payday loans for only $ 200? Jeez, your moral
3:21
Speaker 4: standards are basically worth nothing. This girl will sell out
3:24
Speaker 4: to the most predatory parts of a system that she
3:26
Speaker 4: resents for only a few bucks.
3:29
Speaker 3: What else has she done?
3:30
Speaker 2: Let's say I put in 30 minutes for an AG1
3:32
Speaker 2: greens commercial where they're like, why is your skin so glowy?
3:35
Speaker 1: And I'm like, AG1! You know, that kind of thing.
3:38
Speaker 4: Okay, so apparently AG1 is just a multivitamin. A multivitamin
3:43
Speaker 4: isn't going to give you perfect glowy skin. If it
3:45
Speaker 4: actually did that, you'd see it in the office of
3:47
Speaker 4: every dermatologist. So essentially, she's lying to the customer base.
3:52
Speaker 4: In reality, good skin is a combination of genetics, low
3:55
Speaker 4: sun exposure, good humidity, moisturizing, being under 35... And makeup
4:01
Speaker 4: lighting in Photoshop. I can understand men getting fooled by
4:04
Speaker 4: this because men are terrible at recognizing when women are
4:06
Speaker 4: wearing good makeup, and they know nothing about Instagram filters,
4:10
Speaker 4: but are women really looking at this girl and buying
4:12
Speaker 4: this product without realizing that she's wearing eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, foundation,
4:16
Speaker 4: and lipstick? Also, if you look closely, you can see
4:19
Speaker 4: she has acne. So she resents capitalism, but is willing
4:23
Speaker 4: to manipulate people and get them involved in things like
4:25
Speaker 4: predatory loans for money, or get them to buy products
4:28
Speaker 4: that don't do what they paid for them to do.
4:30
Speaker 4: Can we see how this is a person who is
4:32
Speaker 4: not really willing to take a good look at herself
4:34
Speaker 4: and deal with reality? I mean, she's in crippling debt
4:36
Speaker 4: for a low earner, and she doesn't even know how
4:38
Speaker 4: much money she brings in per month.
4:40
Speaker 3: What do you bring in on a monthly basis on average?
4:43
Speaker 2: Oh my God, what's really sad is that.
4:44
Speaker 3: What do you bring home on a monthly basis on average?
4:47
Speaker 2: I don't know, because I avoid looking at these bank accounts.
4:51
Speaker 3: Well, that's not a choice.
4:52
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm just not going to open Bank of
4:54
Speaker 1: America today.
4:55
Speaker 4: You're 27 and you're acting like a teenager, trying to
4:58
Speaker 4: be financially fit with a blindfold on. No wonder you're
5:01
Speaker 4: in a ton of debt. If you have no idea
5:03
Speaker 4: how much money you make, how do you form a budget? Now, understandably,
5:06
Speaker 4: she does freelance work, so her income isn't the same
5:09
Speaker 4: every month. But what you do then is set a
5:11
Speaker 4: baseline amount that you can comfortably make. Let's say for her,
5:14
Speaker 4: it's $ 3, 000 a month. Budget based on that, and if
5:17
Speaker 4: you make extra, it goes towards debt, savings, and investments
5:21
Speaker 4: in that order. If you have your financial ducks in
5:23
Speaker 4: a row, then you can gear more of that extra
5:25
Speaker 4: money towards luxuries like vacations or nice cars. This stuff
5:28
Speaker 4: is not impossible to figure out, but if you aren't
5:31
Speaker 4: actually willing to open your eyes and see the truth
5:32
Speaker 4: of your situation, you can't do anything. Fortunately, Caleb looked
5:36
Speaker 4: at her statements and calculated everything for her.
5:39
Speaker 1: I hope that I can help somebody. Oh, that's one
5:44
Speaker 1: of the commercials I did.
5:45
Speaker 3: Okay, so 2100 came in through that.
5:48
Speaker 1: Dope. Cool.
5:49
Speaker 3: You didn't know that.
5:50
Speaker 1: I didn't know the total. No, I haven't budgeted yet.
5:54
Speaker 3: Pangea Holdings?
5:56
Speaker 2: I think that's like a shaving commercial because I'm a
5:59
Speaker 2: hairy girl.
6:00
Speaker 3: Congratulations. And Venmo, what usually comes in through Venmo? Like why?
6:06
Speaker 1: It used to be sugar daddy money.
6:08
Speaker 5: What is it now?
6:10
Speaker 1: How much is it?
6:10
Speaker 3: $ 307 total. What a shock.
6:13
Speaker 4: Amber is a sex worker. She later says that the
6:16
Speaker 4: site that she used was Seek an Arrangement, And in
6:18
Speaker 4: case you've been living under a rock, it's essentially an
6:20
Speaker 4: escort service disguised as a dating website. And you can
6:23
Speaker 4: tell it's sex work because they have a special about
6:26
Speaker 4: page dedicated to talking about human trafficking, which is something
6:29
Speaker 4: that actual dating sites like Match, eHarmony, and OkCupid don't have.
6:33
Speaker 4: Now initially, when I heard her comments about being a
6:35
Speaker 4: sugar baby, I thought it was a joke, but then
6:38
Speaker 4: I did some investigation, and nope, it wasn't.
6:41
Speaker 2: So, I had gone on to seekingarrangements.com Because I was
6:49
Speaker 2: just looking for.
6:50
Speaker 5: A rich dick.
6:53
Speaker 4: I thought we didn't like capitalism. You spent the whole
6:56
Speaker 4: episode of Financial Audit talking about how capitalism is this
6:59
Speaker 4: oppressive structure, when just four months ago, you were talking
7:02
Speaker 4: about how you're trying to bag a rich guy. I mean,
7:04
Speaker 4: holy crap, you pretend to hate capitalism while simultaneously loving
7:08
Speaker 4: it more than Hasan Piker does. That's the level of
7:11
Speaker 4: honesty that we're dealing with. Anyway, Caleb adds up her
7:14
Speaker 4: funds from her bank account. And here's what she made
7:17
Speaker 4: in the prior month, minus the Venmo transfers, because that
7:20
Speaker 4: was stuff like people paying for their share of the
7:21
Speaker 4: restaurant bill.
7:22
Speaker 3: Income total that came in, you live in Los Angeles, correct?
7:27
Speaker 3: Oh my God, yeah. $ 2, 891.
7:30
Speaker 1: That's a good month for me.
7:31
Speaker 3: Well, that's a month for anyone else living.
7:33
Speaker 5: Out in LA.
7:34
Speaker 1: I know, I know.
7:35
Speaker 4: So we have one ad that made $ 2, 100, a shaving
7:37
Speaker 4: ad that made $ 700, and some $ 91 agency bonus. That's
7:39
Speaker 4: how Caleb got $ 2, 891. Keep in mind that minimum wage
7:47
Speaker 4: in California is currently $ 16 an hour, which comes out
7:51
Speaker 4: to $ 2, 560 if you work a 40-hour work week. She
7:55
Speaker 4: barely makes over minimum wage during a good month of
7:58
Speaker 4: doing ads.
7:59
Speaker 3: But if we can't make ends meet, then I'm sorry,
8:00
Speaker 3: we might be working to make arches instead of this. Like,
8:03
Speaker 3: you know?
8:04
Speaker 1: Arches?
8:05
Speaker 3: McDonald's. Golden arches.
8:07
Speaker 5: What?
8:08
Speaker 1: No, that's fine. Not for me.
8:11
Speaker 4: This sounds entitled, but I mean, I do see an
8:13
Speaker 4: ad that made her $ 2, 100 and another ad that made
8:16
Speaker 4: her $ 700. She said earlier that her Athletic Greens ad
8:19
Speaker 4: was only 30 minutes of labor, which means that none
8:22
Speaker 4: of these ads could have possibly taken more than a
8:23
Speaker 4: day to film. I don't see how she couldn't just
8:26
Speaker 4: hustle a bit and easily book enough of these to
8:28
Speaker 4: make $ 8, 000 to $ 10, 000 in a month. She'd have her
8:31
Speaker 4: debt easily paid off in six months if she actually worked.
8:34
Speaker 2: Systemically, the way that the world is set up to
8:36
Speaker 2: oppress certain groups of people is.
8:39
Speaker 1: I feel f * * * ing oppressed.
8:41
Speaker 2: As s * * *.
8:42
Speaker 4: What the hell? You have good genetics. You're a part
8:45
Speaker 4: of one of the most privileged group of people on
8:46
Speaker 4: the planet, which is attractive people. You get to do
8:49
Speaker 4: an ad that definitely didn't take more than a day
8:51
Speaker 4: to film and make $ 2, 100. Like, holy crap, nobody gets
8:55
Speaker 4: to do that. If she just worked more than an
8:57
Speaker 4: hour a month, her problems with oppression would disappear, but
9:01
Speaker 4: she's too focused on manifesting or whatever to see that.
9:04
Speaker 2: The thing is that I've manifested a life at this
9:06
Speaker 2: point where I am taken care of so much by
9:09
Speaker 2: other people.
9:10
Speaker 3: You've manifested a life?
9:12
Speaker 1: Subconsciously.
9:12
Speaker 4: Oh, God. Another one of these manifestation girlies. These people
9:16
Speaker 4: are so annoying. By any chance are 100% of the
9:20
Speaker 4: people that you manifested to take care of you men?
9:22
Speaker 4: That's not spiritual or subconscious power. Those are just guys
9:25
Speaker 4: who are taking care of you because they want to
9:27
Speaker 4: have sex with you. Seeing that you're a patron of
9:29
Speaker 4: seeking arrangement, you should be aware of that kind of relationship.
9:32
Speaker 2: So with the molding issue, I'm legally not required to
9:36
Speaker 2: pay rent right now.
9:37
Speaker 5: I know.
9:37
Speaker 3: That's the only reason you're surviving.
9:38
Speaker 1: Exactly. Exactly. And I have EBT. I have food stamps.
9:43
Speaker 2: I was getting $ 281 a month. And I just had
9:49
Speaker 2: that knocked down about $ 100 since I made more money
9:52
Speaker 2: this month.
9:52
Speaker 4: Well, here's yet another WTF moment. You're not manifesting a
9:56
Speaker 4: life where you're taken care of so much by other people.
9:58
Speaker 4: You're on welfare. Yes, I'm a master manifester and I
10:02
Speaker 4: manifested the taxpayers paying for my shit.
10:04
Speaker 1: I love government money.
10:07
Speaker 2: Twerk if you love free health insurance.
10:10
Speaker 1: Thank you, taxpayers. Y'all are so sexy to me.
10:13
Speaker 2: If you're trying to pick me up at a bar,
10:15
Speaker 2: just say that you're funding.
10:16
Speaker 1: My food stamps.
10:18
Speaker 4: Charming. With that out of the way, let's get to
10:20
Speaker 4: the reason why I mentioned that she's on welfare. The
10:23
Speaker 4: taxpayers aren't paying for this girl's food because she's destitute
10:25
Speaker 4: and can't afford it. They're paying for her food so
10:28
Speaker 4: she can work two days a month and buy expensive clothes.
10:31
Speaker 2: Like I wear my expensive clothes and I buy my
10:35
Speaker 2: dog the expensive food.
10:37
Speaker 4: Uh, listen guys, I need this rabbit fur vest or
10:40
Speaker 4: my life is over, so the taxpayers need to pay
10:43
Speaker 4: for my food. That's not all. As the episode goes on,
10:46
Speaker 4: Caleb looks through people's recent bank statements to look at
10:49
Speaker 4: their spending habits and actually shows most of the transaction information.
10:53
Speaker 4: I just so happen to notice that a number of
10:55
Speaker 4: those transactions didn't occur in Los Angeles, California, where Amber lives.
10:59
Speaker 4: Like this purchase here from Colorado. So I did some investigating,
11:03
Speaker 4: checked the gram, and look what I found. Her pronouns
11:06
Speaker 4: are she, they, and she unironically spells women with an X. Interesting.
11:10
Speaker 4: She's the host of a show called Healing Amber, a
11:13
Speaker 4: spiritual and reiki healer, and a consulting and producing CEO. Wow,
11:18
Speaker 4: a CEO who's on welfare. Anyway, I see in this
11:21
Speaker 4: picture here that Amber is stealing money from people through
11:24
Speaker 4: food stamps and Medicaid so she can go snowboarding in
11:27
Speaker 4: Colorado in April. I wasn't aware that she had money
11:30
Speaker 4: to fly to another state and do a luxury sport.
11:32
Speaker 4: A few months earlier, in January, here she is talking
11:35
Speaker 4: about going on another vacation. This one lasted a month
11:38
Speaker 4: and she went to Florida, Puerto Rico, and Colorado again.
11:41
Speaker 4: Fast forward to June and we have a Vegas trip.
11:44
Speaker 4: Then in July, we have her traveling all over California
11:46
Speaker 4: from LA to Delano to San Francisco to Lake Tahoe
11:49
Speaker 4: so she can go on boat trips. The caption on
11:52
Speaker 4: this one is just hilarious. It says, when I do
11:55
Speaker 4: what intuitively feels best for me, then my mind, body,
11:58
Speaker 4: and soul triumvirate feel their best. Then she goes on
12:01
Speaker 4: to talk about how she subconsciously craved escapism in the
12:04
Speaker 4: form of dissociative or stimulative substances. It's California, so what
12:08
Speaker 4: were those? DMT and meth? Should you really be listening
12:11
Speaker 4: to your intuition if that's the case?
12:13
Speaker 2: I was going to do some plant medicine today to
12:15
Speaker 2: get my mind right after talking to you.
12:17
Speaker 3: Does that just mean smoke?
12:20
Speaker 5: Like what?
12:21
Speaker 1: The other plant medicine. They grow on the ground.
12:26
Speaker 3: Okay.
12:27
Speaker 2: Fungus.
12:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:32
Speaker 3: You and Boogie. So much in common.
12:34
Speaker 4: Well, I can really see she stopped doing those dissociative
12:37
Speaker 4: substances to manage her emotions. So she's probably a drug addict. Remember,
12:41
Speaker 4: this is a life coach who wants to make a
12:43
Speaker 4: living giving people advice. Moving on, it's September, and we're
12:47
Speaker 4: in Utah now, talking about Pokemon. Nothing in October as
12:50
Speaker 4: far as I can see. Good to see that she
12:52
Speaker 4: took some time off vacationing to maybe get some work done.
12:55
Speaker 4: But in November, we're back in Colorado again, spending $ 90
12:59
Speaker 4: at Sprouts for probiotics because she got a little flu.
13:01
Speaker 3: Sprouts Farmer's Market, expensive place to eat for someone.
13:05
Speaker 1: Well, that was for the stomach flu, the probiotics.
13:09
Speaker 3: You can get probiotics on Amazon. I get my probiotics
13:12
Speaker 3: on Amazon.
13:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're all sourced differently.
13:14
Speaker 4: Oh my God, you're broke. What are you doing spending
13:17
Speaker 4: $ 90 for probiotics? They're like $ 30 on Amazon. And if
13:21
Speaker 4: you don't want to wait for the shipping, you can
13:22
Speaker 4: just go to the dairy section, and get your probiotics
13:25
Speaker 4: from the most expensive kefir at Sprouts, which is only $ 8.
13:28
Speaker 4: Or you could just wait out the flu for free
13:31
Speaker 4: like everyone else does. Anyway, we have one more vacation
13:35
Speaker 4: to Texas to end off the 2023 year. Now you
13:38
Speaker 4: might say, well, she only flew into Austin, Texas to
13:40
Speaker 4: do Caleb's show. I thought that too, until I looked
13:43
Speaker 4: through her reels and her feed, and saw her talking
13:46
Speaker 4: about a number of vacation experiences that she did over
13:49
Speaker 4: multiple days while she was in Texas, like this trip
13:51
Speaker 4: to Houston, which is a three-hour drive from Austin. Usually,
13:55
Speaker 4: if you go on a podcast, you fly out there,
13:57
Speaker 4: do the podcast, maybe have a friendly dinner with the host,
14:00
Speaker 4: and then leave the next day. If you're planning out
14:03
Speaker 4: a whole week of activities just to go on a
14:05
Speaker 4: one-hour podcast, that's a vacation. Now, what you might be
14:08
Speaker 4: doing is thinking of this one-dimensionally by only looking at
14:11
Speaker 4: the cost of each vacation. That would be inaccurate. Also,
14:15
Speaker 4: some boyfriend is probably paying for all these trips because
14:18
Speaker 4: she would be more than 33k in debt if she
14:20
Speaker 4: paid for all of them herself. But the actual cost
14:22
Speaker 4: of going on vacation almost monthly is that it leaves
14:25
Speaker 4: you with no time to work. Vacation always stresses me
14:28
Speaker 4: out as a creator, not because of the cost, but
14:31
Speaker 4: because it means I have one less week that month
14:33
Speaker 4: to produce videos. She's trying to be a self-employed girl boss,
14:36
Speaker 4: but what girl boss CEO takes a week off every
14:39
Speaker 4: month to go snowboarding while they're on welfare? Now surely
14:42
Speaker 4: this is the end of the frivolous spending, right?
14:45
Speaker 5: Nope.
14:45
Speaker 4: There's more.
14:46
Speaker 3: ATM Michelle, where's $ 40 going? I don't know. Facebook thing?
14:49
Speaker 3: A cop-cop mentorship? What's a mentorship $ 158? What mentorship are
14:53
Speaker 3: you a part of?
14:55
Speaker 2: Um, that was for my Reiki and spiritual healership training
14:58
Speaker 2: with the magical Alexandra Michelle.
15:00
Speaker 4: Wonderful.
15:00
Speaker 3: Healing your banking account by not spending money you don't have.
15:05
Speaker 4: Congrats. You just wasted $ 158. It says this is a
15:09
Speaker 4: reoccurring payment, so she's wasting this money monthly. Let's go
15:12
Speaker 4: to the next thing.
15:13
Speaker 3: We're doing yoga and farm boy.
15:18
Speaker 4: And some OTT and... $ 262 for a yoga membership. Now
15:22
Speaker 4: we're at like $ 400 of useless monthly spending, which is
15:25
Speaker 4: far more than what she's getting in food stamps. Cancel
15:28
Speaker 4: the memberships. Now you can pay for food. You're in
15:31
Speaker 4: Los Angeles. I used to take yoga in Los Angeles
15:34
Speaker 4: and almost every single good teacher in that city is
15:36
Speaker 4: a part of some yoga subscription website. There's like a
15:39
Speaker 4: shitload of them out there, and they only cost like
15:41
Speaker 4: $ 10 to $ 20 a month. Hell, a lot of these
15:44
Speaker 4: people uploaded free classes to YouTube during COVID that you
15:46
Speaker 4: can still watch. Why are you spending $ 260 for yoga
15:50
Speaker 4: when you're broke? Find out what website your favorite teacher's
15:53
Speaker 4: on and cancel your studio subscription. All right, let's get
15:57
Speaker 4: to the most ironic part of this.
15:58
Speaker 3: Venmo, Chick-fil-A, Zalano Money, Masabi. Dude, you go out to
16:03
Speaker 3: eat every second of your life.
16:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, I should not be eating out.
16:05
Speaker 2: No.
16:07
Speaker 3: Of course not. You can't afford to survive. You were
16:10
Speaker 3: negative money in your checking account at one point. We're
16:12
Speaker 3: having overdrafts without even paying minimum monthly payment on three
16:16
Speaker 3: of the four debts we have. No, eating out is
16:19
Speaker 3: not an option.
16:20
Speaker 4: She's on food stamps, yet she eats out almost every meal. Unbelievable.
16:24
Speaker 4: Why do you need EBT then? She's also out here
16:27
Speaker 4: spending $ 16 for celery juice and work-traded 30 overpriced juices
16:32
Speaker 4: instead of just making the juice herself.
16:34
Speaker 1: Here's another thing that I've been doing that I.
16:38
Speaker 2: I think a lot of other people benefit from as well.
16:40
Speaker 1: Like the old fashioned Silk Road bartering.
16:42
Speaker 2: Like I'll make videos and commercials for your business if
16:46
Speaker 2: you give me 30 juices.
16:48
Speaker 1: So that's literally a deal that I just made.
16:50
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, a decent low-end juicer is $ 50 and celery is
16:54
Speaker 4: basically free by comparison to what she's paying. And who
16:57
Speaker 4: are you kidding with all this health food spending at
16:59
Speaker 4: Sprouts and juice bars when by looking at your bank statements,
17:02
Speaker 4: we can see that you eat fast food like Taco
17:04
Speaker 4: Bell all the time. If you want to get healthy,
17:07
Speaker 4: stop eating junk food and stop doing drugs. Didn't you
17:10
Speaker 4: say you were a holistic health coach?
17:12
Speaker 1: Um, I'm a spiritual healer and holistic health coach.
17:15
Speaker 4: What part of holistic health is going to Taco Bell
17:17
Speaker 4: and Chick-fil-A on a regular basis? And geez, this eating
17:21
Speaker 4: out stuff. On pretty much every episode of this show,
17:23
Speaker 4: I watch broke people eating out constantly. Do any of
17:27
Speaker 4: these people know how to cook? Why is this chick
17:29
Speaker 4: shopping at Sprouts for health food when most of the
17:32
Speaker 4: good stuff at Sprouts can be purchased at Costco for
17:34
Speaker 4: like half the price? I'm not kidding. Here's Rao's Alfredo sauce.
17:39
Speaker 4: 15 fluid ounces at Sprouts, $ 10. For $ 1. 50 more at Costco,
17:43
Speaker 4: you can get two of them. Chosen Foods Classic Mayo,
17:46
Speaker 4: if you don't want soybean oil and high fructose corn
17:48
Speaker 4: syrup in your mayonnaise. It just happened to be on
17:50
Speaker 4: sale for the one day at Sprouts that I took
17:52
Speaker 4: the photo, just to crap on my point, but normally,
17:55
Speaker 4: it's $ 10 for 12 ounces. This is what I used
17:57
Speaker 4: to pay for this expensive stuff at regular stores, just
18:00
Speaker 4: to not have high fructose corn syrup in my mayo,
18:02
Speaker 4: before I found the bulk sizing at Sprouts, which is
18:05
Speaker 4: $ 14 for 24 ounces, a slight savings. At Costco, it's
18:09
Speaker 4: $ 9 for 32 ounces of it. You're paying way less
18:12
Speaker 4: for this stuff at Costco. And this is not just
18:14
Speaker 4: for the healthier food. The savings are even more ridiculous
18:17
Speaker 4: on normal food. All right, that's the end of my
18:19
Speaker 4: free promo for Costco. Back to this headache of a
18:22
Speaker 4: person who goes by Amber. I alluded to this earlier,
18:25
Speaker 4: but Amber is somewhat of an entrepreneur and is the
18:27
Speaker 4: chief executive officer of a consulting company.
18:30
Speaker 2: I am actually just in the middle of my first
18:33
Speaker 2: pitch deck. to a client in order to consult them
18:37
Speaker 2: in social media authenticity. I have the pitch decks for
18:43
Speaker 2: these clients whose social.
18:45
Speaker 1: Medias I want to change up. I want that to.
18:49
Speaker 3: Work so bad.
18:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it will.
18:51
Speaker 2: It will.
18:51
Speaker 4: What the hell is social media authenticity? Did you learn
18:54
Speaker 4: authenticity when you were lying to people about the effects
18:57
Speaker 4: of supplement powder and selling payday loans for money? What
19:00
Speaker 4: qualifications do you have to teach people how to change
19:02
Speaker 4: up their social media in the first place?
19:04
Speaker 2: So I'm taking the skills that I used in creating
19:08
Speaker 2: social media ads, you could say, and I'm turning it
19:11
Speaker 2: into my consulting and production company.
19:14
Speaker 3: Which I'm all about as long as you're making a living.
19:16
Speaker 3: We're not making a living.
19:17
Speaker 4: Just because you're an actor doesn't mean you can direct. Sure,
19:20
Speaker 4: you can put on some makeup and say, buy AG1
19:23
Speaker 4: if you want nice skin like mine, but you didn't
19:25
Speaker 4: come up with that line. Someone who did market research did.
19:29
Speaker 4: Doing an ad is not just about saying a good
19:31
Speaker 4: thing about your product, it's about finding a good thing
19:33
Speaker 4: about your product that other people have interest in, and
19:36
Speaker 4: then finding out which one of those interests sells the
19:38
Speaker 4: most AG1, which in her case was based on a
19:41
Speaker 4: lie by the way, you're not being authentic by doing
19:43
Speaker 4: those ads. Outside of that, Amber has no business consulting
19:47
Speaker 4: people on social media because she is terrible at at
19:50
Speaker 4: attracting an audience. Her Instagram account only has 5,000 followers
19:54
Speaker 4: after 10 years of activity, and 1,500 of those are
19:57
Speaker 4: probably her friends or follow for follow. Her TikTok only
20:00
Speaker 4: has 10,000, and I say that because a TikTok follower
20:03
Speaker 4: is worthless because of how people use TikTok and because
20:06
Speaker 4: TikTok doesn't pay.
20:07
Speaker 2: The most successful video I have right now is like
20:11
Speaker 2: at 68 million views right now.
20:14
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, 68 million views?
20:15
Speaker 5: Yeah.
20:16
Speaker 3: How is that monetized, the 68 million? Even if it's
20:19
Speaker 3: fractions of a penny, that's a ton of money.
20:22
Speaker 1: I actually didn't get paid for that video. I didn't
20:24
Speaker 1: get paid for that video.
20:25
Speaker 4: Her YouTube, a platform that actually pays, only has 50 subscribers.
20:30
Speaker 4: So what exactly do you know about building a following
20:32
Speaker 4: or a market of customers? Anyway, Amber has a web
20:35
Speaker 4: series called Healing Amber, which sounds like the name of
20:38
Speaker 4: a really bad Canadian teen drama from the 2000s. Here
20:41
Speaker 4: she is showing that series to Caleb.
20:42
Speaker 2: Sorry. I didn't.
20:47
Speaker 1: Like it. I didn't like.
20:52
Speaker 5: That.
20:52
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? This is how it's gonna be.
20:57
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna expect perfection.
20:59
Speaker 2: Okay, great.
20:59
Speaker 1: No one else should either.
21:03
Speaker 2: Take one.
21:08
Speaker 3: Let's do this. What did I just watch? I didn't
21:12
Speaker 3: get any help from that.
21:13
Speaker 2: It's just a little personality flare to draw you in.
21:17
Speaker 4: As someone who watched the whole episode and not just
21:19
Speaker 4: the first 30 seconds, my response was exactly the same.
21:22
Speaker 4: What did I just watch? How is that supposed to
21:25
Speaker 4: draw me in? Amber spends a full minute and a
21:27
Speaker 4: half of a nine minute video doing random stuff before
21:30
Speaker 4: she starts the topic. Then she spends like two minutes
21:33
Speaker 4: talking over herself with a clip recorded in the future.
21:35
Speaker 4: All of it was complete nonsense. Now we're at three minutes,
21:38
Speaker 4: which is just in time for this clip here.
21:40
Speaker 5: This man crashed his bike into the curb while staring
21:45
Speaker 5: at me, picking up Mac's poop. Many men just stare
21:49
Speaker 5: at me like I'm a kebab on the grill.
21:51
Speaker 4: Oh my god, so many men want me. Hashtag humblebrag! Gee,
21:55
Speaker 4: I didn't know narcissism counted as advice. Next, we finally
21:59
Speaker 4: move on to Amber's first piece of advice, which is
22:01
Speaker 4: almost at the halfway mark of the video. At this point,
22:04
Speaker 4: nobody's watching. She goes on a non-advertiser-friendly rant about Valentine's Day,
22:08
Speaker 4: so I can't show that, but it results in this
22:10
Speaker 4: message here saying, Hey gorgeous, from a degenerate male friend
22:13
Speaker 4: of hers who has a girlfriend, and gave her $ 100
22:16
Speaker 4: to pay for her Valentine's Day dinner. She follows that
22:19
Speaker 4: up with an offer for a threesome, so I guess
22:21
Speaker 4: now we can add home record to the list of
22:23
Speaker 4: immoral behavior that she's willing to engage in for money.
22:26
Speaker 4: Golden advice, Amber. You really are promoting stable relationship boundaries
22:30
Speaker 4: on your mental health show. By the way, she's in
22:32
Speaker 4: a polyamorous relationship with her current boyfriend, if that wasn't obvious.
22:36
Speaker 4: More dysfunction. Last, she helps people heal by bragging about
22:40
Speaker 4: how a guy bought her a bunch of stuff.
22:41
Speaker 1: I have my first date since my breakup. This past week, he.
22:45
Speaker 2: Bought me my lashes, my nails, the waxing of my mustache,
22:49
Speaker 2: my nostrils, Sephora makeup, three sets of lingerie, free bird boots.
22:53
Speaker 1: I would say he's been spoiling me, but God knows
22:56
Speaker 1: I deserve this.
23:00
Speaker 2: I can go into more detail later on my Instagram
23:02
Speaker 2: story of how to manifest.
23:04
Speaker 4: She said some stuff that's not advertiser-friendly in the next part,
23:07
Speaker 4: but she was offering to teach people how to manifest
23:09
Speaker 4: a guy who will pay for things. Spoilers, the guy
23:12
Speaker 4: didn't pay for any of that stuff. He offered to
23:14
Speaker 4: pay her back on the first date, but they never
23:16
Speaker 4: went on a first date, so she actually just paid
23:17
Speaker 4: for all that stuff herself on her maxed out credit cards.
23:20
Speaker 4: Next time, get the money up front. And she didn't
23:23
Speaker 4: manifest a rich guy. She found this guy on Seeking Arrangement.
23:26
Speaker 4: That was revealed on Caleb's show. So she claims she's
23:29
Speaker 4: manifesting rich guys when she's actually just engaging in sex work.
23:33
Speaker 4: That's her secret to success. This quite possibly is the
23:36
Speaker 4: most delusional person I've covered on this channel.
23:38
Speaker 1: I love this mic. I love it. I love it.
23:41
Speaker 2: It feels like I'm saying important sh * *.
23:44
Speaker 4: There are four more episodes of Healing Amber that took
23:47
Speaker 4: her a whole year to produce, despite the fact that
23:49
Speaker 4: any good creator could have made them in less than
23:51
Speaker 4: two weeks. These other episodes are pretty much the same
23:54
Speaker 4: as the first. Really boring. Not helpful. and really just
23:57
Speaker 4: a soapbox to complain about her dad and talk about
24:00
Speaker 4: how great she is, mixed in with the comedic talent
24:02
Speaker 4: that I'm guessing someone would develop after being an avid
24:05
Speaker 4: fan of Lilly Singh for years.
24:06
Speaker 1: If you think that's the craziest I've got, it's not.
24:10
Speaker 2: Come on, Sheely Amber, if you feel like you see
24:12
Speaker 2: yourself in me.
24:12
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert!
24:15
Speaker 4: Though I guess at least Lilly Singh has managed to
24:17
Speaker 4: somehow form a successful career, despite being one of the
24:20
Speaker 4: least funny comedians alive. How she pulled that off should
24:23
Speaker 4: be in her next children's book for adults. But as
24:25
Speaker 4: for Amber, don't worry, guys. Her success is already set
24:29
Speaker 4: in stone.
24:30
Speaker 2: I would have all these people telling me, like, you're
24:32
Speaker 2: going to do big things. Like, you're going to help
24:34
Speaker 2: so many people. And I internalized that, and I was like, okay,
24:38
Speaker 2: well then, future.
24:40
Speaker 1: Sounds set to me. In the present, let's just continue
24:44
Speaker 1: being comfortable. What?
24:45
Speaker 4: I can't believe I just heard that. Hey, Miss Delusional,
24:48
Speaker 4: when future Amber travels back in time to tell past
24:51
Speaker 4: Amber about how great her life is going to be,
24:53
Speaker 4: You're supposed to use that as motivation to work hard
24:56
Speaker 4: because now you know your hard work will be rewarded.
24:58
Speaker 4: But Amber does the opposite by saying, well, this is
25:01
Speaker 4: all set in stone, so I guess I'll just sit
25:02
Speaker 4: on my ass and wait for good things to happen.
25:05
Speaker 4: Time traveling future Amber just screwed herself over. I mean,
25:08
Speaker 4: this girl is super lazy. Has she ever worked an
25:11
Speaker 4: eight hour shift before in her life? Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
25:14
Speaker 4: She's not lazy. She's afraid of success.
25:17
Speaker 2: Like, for example, my mindset and healing coach who... Will
25:23
Speaker 2: text me random. You know, you need like a schedule
25:26
Speaker 2: and you need like to set a monthly goal of
25:29
Speaker 2: how much money to make.
25:31
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, didn't text her back.
25:33
Speaker 3: We didn't text her back because.
25:35
Speaker 2: Fear.
25:36
Speaker 3: Fear of.
25:38
Speaker 5: Success.
25:41
Speaker 4: Well, that just makes me believe that she's taking none
25:43
Speaker 4: of Caleb's advice the minute she walks out of the studio. Gigi,
25:46
Speaker 4: have fun on your drug trip. He ends this episode
25:49
Speaker 4: on a very low note, so I think this one
25:51
Speaker 4: was more to help the audience and not the person
25:53
Speaker 4: sitting in the chair across from him. This girl thinks
25:55
Speaker 4: she's going to change the world, but she makes so
25:58
Speaker 4: many excuses to not work.
26:00
Speaker 3: And also, again, you're getting food stamps because you're choosing
26:02
Speaker 3: not to work. You're like actually choosing.
26:05
Speaker 2: It's been a subconscious thing that's finally at the surface of, hey,
26:10
Speaker 2: you know, all these fears are the reasons that you're
26:12
Speaker 2: distracting yourself with all this other shit. The storylines were like, oh,
26:16
Speaker 2: I'm not healthy enough to work. oh, I've just been
26:18
Speaker 2: through some trauma. I need to heal before I can
26:21
Speaker 2: start working. So that's how it was for month after
26:24
Speaker 2: month after month. And then week after week, you're like, okay,
26:26
Speaker 2: I'll start on that new gig Monday.
26:29
Speaker 1: Oh, well, you know, now it's Thursday. Let's try again
26:32
Speaker 1: for this Monday.
26:33
Speaker 4: Didn't she start this conversation saying that she was oppressed?
26:37
Speaker 4: Going months without working in Los Angeles? Vacationing eight times
26:40
Speaker 4: in a year? Who has that kind of privilege? The
26:43
Speaker 4: odd thing is that she has a degree in sports
26:45
Speaker 4: journalism from Syracuse, New York, And even weirder, she actually
26:49
Speaker 4: was able to find a job at Fox Sports, which
26:51
Speaker 4: is incredible, because basically no one gets those jobs. But
26:54
Speaker 4: then she got a voice in her head that said,
26:57
Speaker 4: my passion is calling me somewhere else, which probably actually
27:00
Speaker 4: meant that the job was too much work, so she quit.
27:03
Speaker 4: The job was making $ 18 an hour, which is more
27:05
Speaker 4: than what she makes now, and she could have easily
27:08
Speaker 4: worked her way up into more money if she had
27:10
Speaker 4: stuck with it. However, at every avenue she makes excuses
27:13
Speaker 4: to not work, and then talks about abundance.
27:16
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be paid off. The money's on its way.
27:18
Speaker 1: The money's on its way. You have abundant songs you
27:21
Speaker 1: sing to yourself at night?
27:24
Speaker 3: No, I go make money.
27:25
Speaker 4: You want mental health advice? Delete TikTok from your phone.
27:29
Speaker 4: I'm sure that's where you're getting all this nonsense, so
27:31
Speaker 4: just delete it. Speaking of mental health, obviously that's the
27:34
Speaker 4: real issue here. People don't just magically end up like Amber.
27:38
Speaker 4: This is a very unwell person, and that's why she's
27:40
Speaker 4: so delusional about everything. She's trying to escape reality because
27:44
Speaker 4: her childhood wasn't that great, And delusion and dissociation is
27:47
Speaker 4: probably how she survived it. I've watched enough of the
27:50
Speaker 4: We're All Insane podcast to see that. So Amber has
27:53
Speaker 4: been through some bad stuff. Her mom died of cancer
27:56
Speaker 4: when she was seven, which is really sad. I'm sure
27:58
Speaker 4: any seven-year-old would not want to deal with that as
28:01
Speaker 4: a reality. Also, according to her, her dad wasn't the
28:04
Speaker 4: greatest person when she was growing up. But while that
28:07
Speaker 4: delusion may have been effective when she was a kid,
28:09
Speaker 4: that strategy doesn't work in the real world, so it's
28:12
Speaker 4: time to stop playing pretend and grow up. Now, usually
28:15
Speaker 4: I try to end these videos on a positive note
28:17
Speaker 4: or give some kind of advice for how to get
28:19
Speaker 4: out of the situation that the subject of the video
28:21
Speaker 4: is currently experiencing. But honestly, I have very little faith
28:24
Speaker 4: that Amber will actually get better. She showed during this
28:27
Speaker 4: episode multiple times that she is not a willing participant
28:30
Speaker 4: in her recovery and is actively avoiding treatment. She doesn't
28:34
Speaker 4: look at her bank statements. She ignores her life coach
28:36
Speaker 4: when her life coach tells her what she needs to hear.
28:39
Speaker 4: And she says this.
28:41
Speaker 1: Every time I'm feeling lonely or scared or depressed, anxious.
28:45
Speaker 2: I go online and I'll post a story telling my story,
28:50
Speaker 2: hoping that it helps somebody else.
28:53
Speaker 1: But then I'm avoiding taking care of myself.
28:55
Speaker 2: And then I try to get other people to, I
28:56
Speaker 2: try to get my partner to take care of me.
28:59
Speaker 2: In the past, it was random sugar daddies. Sometimes it's
29:01
Speaker 2: my dad. Sometimes it's, the list can go on.
29:06
Speaker 4: No wonder your advice is so bad. It's not meant
29:08
Speaker 4: to help people. It's just a method of you avoiding
29:11
Speaker 4: the inner work that you have to do to get better.
29:13
Speaker 4: A lot of people disguise their mental illness by pretending
29:16
Speaker 4: to selflessly give advice to others because it's easier to
29:19
Speaker 4: tell someone else what to do than it is to
29:21
Speaker 4: fix your own problems. Really, it's just a way to
29:24
Speaker 4: look morally superior while avoiding the struggle of recovery. So
29:28
Speaker 4: the reason I don't think she'll get better is that,
29:30
Speaker 4: mixed in with the fact that she has very little
29:32
Speaker 4: knowledge about the kind of work that is required for success.
29:35
Speaker 2: What would you say, in your opinion- Would you say
29:38
Speaker 2: like 20 hours a week on the passion work and
29:41
Speaker 2: then 20 hours a week on the money making work?
29:43
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is, if you're passionate about something, there
29:45
Speaker 3: is no there's like no off time, right?
29:47
Speaker 2: Wow.
29:48
Speaker 4: She thinks the work week stops at 40 hours. She's
29:50
Speaker 4: like trying to divide up the time into a standard
29:53
Speaker 4: work week because she's never actually worked hard. No, you
29:56
Speaker 4: work a minimum 40 hour week at your job. and
29:59
Speaker 4: then 20 hours in your hobby if you want to
30:01
Speaker 4: be successful. What Amber is trying to do is something
30:04
Speaker 4: like Caleb's show or the We're All Insane podcast, but
30:07
Speaker 4: she is nowhere near the skill level to pull that off. Personally,
30:10
Speaker 4: I think Amber is so delusional that she needs to
30:13
Speaker 4: get rid of all her friends who are enabling this
30:15
Speaker 4: spiritual hippie BS and only surround herself with people who
30:18
Speaker 4: will be extremely honest with her. But even if she
30:21
Speaker 4: does do that, Amber has at least five years of
30:23
Speaker 4: good therapy and media training before she has any hope
30:26
Speaker 4: of being successful as a content creator. Though I guess
30:29
Speaker 4: Caleb does give her an avenue where she could be
30:31
Speaker 4: successful at content creation in the current moment.
30:34
Speaker 1: I was told I could do ASMR.
30:35
Speaker 3: I was just going to say you should do ASMR.
30:39
Speaker 2: Thank you.
30:39
Speaker 3: No, no, no. People like make money off of that
30:41
Speaker 3: on YouTube and TikTok and stuff.
30:42
Speaker 4: From a pragmatic standpoint, I don't disagree. Something like ASMR
30:46
Speaker 4: or using the just chatting section of Twitch like Amaranth
30:49
Speaker 4: does probably is the only way Amber will be successful
30:52
Speaker 4: as a creator. However, I'm strongly opposed to this suggestion
30:55
Speaker 4: because that's sex work and sex work is what's harming
30:58
Speaker 4: her life. Earlier in the episode, she gave a reason
31:01
Speaker 4: for why she's afraid of success by saying that when
31:03
Speaker 4: she gets success, she gets assaulted. Now personally, I think
31:06
Speaker 4: that's just an excuse to not work because there are
31:08
Speaker 4: many other avenues she can take that aren't sex work,
31:11
Speaker 4: but that's what happens when you sell your body or
31:13
Speaker 4: your whisper voice for money. You're going to put yourself
31:16
Speaker 4: in an environment full of degenerates and sociopaths who will
31:19
Speaker 4: have no problem taking advantage of you. Those are the
31:22
Speaker 4: kinds of guys you're going to meet on seeking arrangement
31:24
Speaker 4: as well, so that might be something to consider if
31:26
Speaker 4: you want to keep yourself safe. To end this off,
31:29
Speaker 4: I think it's important for people to think realistically and
31:32
Speaker 4: plan a path to success for the future. You don't
31:34
Speaker 4: want to gamble with your life because you have some
31:36
Speaker 4: dream idea of what it should be like. That's how
31:38
Speaker 4: people become failures. Now, if carrying out your plan opens
31:42
Speaker 4: up options for things that two years ago sounded like
31:44
Speaker 4: a crazy fantasy, then you can course correct and live
31:47
Speaker 4: out your dreams, which is great. Always course correct your
31:50
Speaker 4: plan as you get new and better information. But if
31:53
Speaker 4: I were to create a realistic plan for Amber's success...
31:56
Speaker 4: I would say drop all the dumb business ideas. They
31:58
Speaker 4: aren't going to make her successful. She's just doing what
32:01
Speaker 4: every artist does when they don't want to work that hard,
32:03
Speaker 4: which is pick a bunch of different artistic trades and
32:06
Speaker 4: switch focuses when diminishing returns kick in and music, acting,
32:10
Speaker 4: or drawing becomes too difficult to improve at. The only
32:13
Speaker 4: way you become successful at art is to pick one thing,
32:16
Speaker 4: push through all the roadblocks, and get so good that
32:19
Speaker 4: people are willing to pay you for it. I don't
32:21
Speaker 4: think Amber actually has the work ethic for that, so
32:23
Speaker 4: I think she should stick to the commercials until her
32:26
Speaker 4: debts paid off, build up a savings, go to some
32:28
Speaker 4: Hollywood parties, and try to get a rich guy to
32:30
Speaker 4: marry her. It's not the healthiest plan, but personally, considering
32:34
Speaker 4: that she's lazy, I think it's the most realistic thing
32:36
Speaker 4: that will keep her from ending up in a homeless
32:38
Speaker 4: shelter in a few years. Or she can become a
32:41
Speaker 4: twitch thot. Only time will tell. Moral of the story,
32:44
Speaker 4: base your goals in reality, not fantasy. Anyway, thanks for watching,
32:48
Speaker 4: follow me on Twitter, and I'll see you in the
32:51
Speaker 4: next video.
