A 41-year-old man who revealed that he relies on his parents to pay his rent because he doesn’t want to work jobs that are ‘beneath’ him has been slammed online.
Brint Davy from Texas appeared on the podcast Caleb Hammer’s Financial Audit where he shared that he doesn’t have savings and steady job.
He also shared that he has thousands of dollars of debt as he took out multiple payday loans.
Even without a job, Davy can still find spare cash for gambling, food, and subscriptions to Amazon Prime and Netflix.
When asked what he does for a living, he said: “Too many things. I don’t even know really. I’m just hustling every day basically because I have been blacklisted from most jobs.
“I have a criminal background. I told Governor Abbott on Twitter that I would eat his heart and that solicited a big reaction.”
He also revealed how he was arrested and spent days in jail in Travis County.
“It sounds way worse than it was because I’m not a cannibal for one – I don’t eat hearts – and the state really wanted to prosecute me,” Davy continued.
“They were thinking about making it a felony for a while and they just dragged it all out for a year and it took a long time.”
While the incident occurred in 2018, it still affects him as well as his ability to land a job.
The host then asked if he felt ‘embarrassed’ about his parents paying for his rent, and Davy replied: “A little bit but I know that they’re capable of it.”
Caleb the asked about his previous jobs and made him explain if he would accept other jobs that felt like a ‘step down.’
The 41-year-old then revealed how he rejected an offer at a fast food restaurant.
“You’re being a baby,” the host said. “Why will you not accept the jobs that you feel are slightly beneath you?”
Davy then said that ‘something better is going to come along’ but the host was quick to slam his ‘immature’ decision to pay for non-essential items while his parents are paying for his rent.
People also blasted Davy for depending on his parents, with one person commenting: “The overwhelming guilt I would feel to have my elderly parents pay for my rent while being unemployed would literally crush me into smithereens.”
Another said: “This man is wild! ‘I’m not a baby!’ but you’re parents pay for your home, you’re drinking a monster, are obsessed with gas station food, and call yourself ‘vindictive’ – sounds like a 16-year-old to me.”
