Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it's Mojo.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
In the morning show, we were talking about, you know,
things with the phone and stuff. Has Shannon showed you
all of the robo calls or or sales calls that
she's been.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Getting goes off? You can hear it.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
My phone rings the entire show. And it's been like,
look at this, look at this, you guys, why do
you have fully how I get upwards of like between
eighty and one hundred.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Calls a day? But why is it just recently that
it's gotten crazy?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Because so I talked about how Wes and I were
looking we're thinking about moving, and we went to look
at a house this week and for whatever reason, I've
actually never heard of people doing this. But to even
get a showing for this particular home that we were
interested in, you had to have a pre you had
to have a pre approval letter, which we didn't have,
(00:48):
so we had to like go through that process. And
the guy who was doing it for us even said,
don't put your real phone number on anything, just put
five five five five five five five whatever because or
else exactly. So what's happening to me is happening. So
I don't know how it's happening to me, but it
is driving me crazy. And normally I just let the
(01:10):
call go to voicemail and nobody ever leaves a voicemail.
But I was in the car yesterday and it was
just I was in a mood and I think I
was channeling misfit Victor and I started answering some of
the calls as Costco Bakery, Hello, this is Nicole from
(01:31):
Rosesboom dot com. I mean, I did them all, but
the best was I I was like, oh, I'm really
going to like toy with somebody. One of my really
good friends works for the Birmingham Police Department. So I
answered the phone call Birmingham Police Department and then I
used her name like officer, I don't want to say
her name, but and the guy on the other end
was like, is this Shannon, And I was like, no,
(01:52):
you called the Birmingham Police Department. And I'm like, you know,
he's going back and forth, note Shannon and you know,
said my last name and so I am not budget
And finally he gets so pissed off and he's like,
you know you have some nerve doing this.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Was he still a sales call or was it somebody
that was talking to you, the guy.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
That was scroming at you. No, it was like it
was from one of these mortgage Okay, so they know
your name when you're doing it.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And again I don't know enough about this to know
how where how they've gotten all of my information so quickly,
but they did. And he said my name like he
knew my first and last name.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But Victor has and I don't. I haven't talked to
Victor in a long time. I mean with uh, I've
had some family stuff and things going on, and I
think he's been busy.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Can we call Victor up?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Because Victor does this just so you know that reference
while you're calling him Lydia. He will do this with
any telemarketer that calls him. He will either pretend to
be somebody else or he will play a game and
be so annoying to them and see how long he
can keep them on the phone.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
When we call Victor, can we like three way in
one of these numbers?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I thought about it, honest to got yesterday thought about
screenshotting some of these numbers and just saying he at it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That fun.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
My favorite Victor thing to do is when somebody calls
and does these things like where they do the telemarketing
calls and he tells them.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
They say, what is your name? And he goes Tony Trevada.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
He gives our bosses name and and then they'll like,
how do you spell that? And give them all the details.
I don't even I never pick up these calls. I
don't pick mean obviously I don't pick up calls. I
don't pick up calls from friends, but I don't pick
up anything that I don't have saved in my phone anybody.
And it's kind of bad that that's the case, because
(03:42):
you can't do it anymore because there's so many of
them that come through.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
But that's why I think that particular point emphasizes that
if it's that important, they'll leave a voicemail.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
If you're getting random numbers and are not leaving voicemail,
not one of these calls have left a voicemail. What
is so? What is the deal with?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Like some people say that there's certain apps that are good,
like if you can find like an app that will
stop out all the robo calls, but I've never been
able to do it. I got one app or one service,
and it was the it was horrible. I wouldn't get it, Like,
my family couldn't even call me. It kept so many
phone numbers. Yeah, so I ended up having to cancel it.
But what's up Amy?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
How you doing good money?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Guys?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
This is this is how it works when you're looking
for you, whether you get any sort of loan, why
don't you get your credit?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Call right?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Companies pay for those lists.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Who who just you know applied for a mortgage somewhere and.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Then really I thought that I kind of had an
inkling that it had something to do with my credit
and obviously my phone number is you know.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So wait, so so the is it the find every time? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So that whole thing that Shannon says when people say
how did you get my number? And somebody must have
you know, like when you say that stuff, that's actually
a true thing that's coming back at.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You, right, can you out anyway? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I mean, I guess it's not like you know, Instagram,
when you download a app and it says share yourself
and it says never share or.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Does apparently Victor, good morning.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
When did you get in an accent? Where where did
that thing come from?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
This is a Rodney I'm calling from medicaid.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Sounds like, dude, are you proud of me?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I am proud of you.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
But I mean it's the thing is if the more
like just by answering or talking period, Uh, they're just
going to hit We used to.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Do top marketing a long time ago.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
You would just hit F four F two and I
would just reschedule you first for somebody to call you.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, so it's it's Apple is.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Apple is supposed to with the next update, is supposed
to release a a thing on there that's like almost
like a call spam blocker where, uh, if if you
don't know the number, they're going to say, Hi, this
person has this feature say your name.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
And then it'll call you.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
And I'll say so and so is calling. Do you
want to answer this call or not? Or it will
completely filter the call out?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But I mean, is that reallything or because then they're.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
All going to is because because no, the telemarkers are
never going to say that I had a I have
to run with the app is it's called robo killer
or something like that caller.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's the one I had and it kept Chelsea from
calling me, or at least that's what she said, but.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
That's because you probably put her number on block or
something like that. But I had that and I got
I got rid of it because my life became so boring,
you know, without.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
These guys, it's just it's just amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I got a whole list for you, a couple hundred.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
He sits there because his wife, Tina will work on
the weekends at night sometimes and Victor will be home
with the kids. He has a field day grabbing calls
all that.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
The best is the call the car warranty extenders. They're
fantastic because I get them and I'm like, yeah, oh,
I definitely want to, you know, get this warranty on
a car that I haven't had in eight years.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
And then you get them, and then you.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Start asking about the packages and I want the best one,
and they get all they're like you can hear them
salivating because they're excited that they're going to and then
they I got transfer you to my online supervisor. Just
hold on, sir, And then you get transferred to online supervisor,
and you're just like, no, I never said any of that.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Trail.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Yeah, you know, they're thinking they're making this big sale
and everything, and you just get to supervisor, and you're like, Nope,
I'm never.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Doing hold on, Terry.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What's up, Terry? You're on with us this morning? What's
going on? Hey, good morning, good morning, it's going good.
We're having just a little conversation here with some guy
who's in India trying to sell us stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
His name is Victor. What's going on? So when they
call I will start.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
To answer them.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You'll answer them in Arabic.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I do.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I ask them how they're doing, how the weather is so?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Really and if they don't know the language, they don't
know what they're doing right, well.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
They like, uh, Terry, Uh, Terry, Terry uh, And I'm like.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
They don't like it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Do you understand that the love of your life is
on the line with us, Victor? This might be the
woman that you should be with her. Can you imagine
the two of you together, that you guys would be
on each end of the couch having fun with people calling.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You absolutely looked at their money.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
Oh you know, the first one to call her and
then hang up and then immediately call me after.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Exactly, uh, what's up Scott?
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Hey? So when I when I get calls very similar,
I answered with I saying.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
What is that, Jeffany, can.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
You say that on the ear? Well, it's nothing vulgar.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's funny. Joe hold on, let me let me answer
some call. Let me use me. I'm seriously sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Maybe some money on Medicare.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
What's up, Joey, Hi, Joey?
Speaker 8 (09:41):
Hey, how are you guys?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Good? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I actually have.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
That new update from Apple that Victor is talking about. Yes,
it works amazing. So I signed up for a service
company to do fertilizer on my lawn and they do
nothing but call me three four.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Times a day.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
And then once I got the update, a little notification
pops up my phone, almost like a voicemail. It'll say
the number, and it'll almost it'll dictate what they're saying
when they answer it. You can decline, and if you
don't have your phone on, or if it's just sitting
on the counter or something, it doesn't like buzz your phone.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Okay, So it's almost just as annoying because it's still
notifications popping up on my phone.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But how many of them actually leave the message and
do that?
Speaker 8 (10:31):
The real telemarketers don't the real people that call, yeah,
start to dictate. I've had people from work that I
haven't had their number saved, dictate and then I can
pick it up from there.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Okay, all right, we'll try that. Hopefully that's that turns
out to be a good feature. Now for the iPhone, Mike,
what's going on?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Mike?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (10:50):
A lot of times what I do, I'll call the
and I put them on a conference call and they'll
be spilling to each other about what they're trying to do.
And I have one time I had sixteen of them
trying to look hilarious.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You got sixteen of them calling together. That's crazy.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
It was funny because the one guy caught on and
I would keep on calling back, and I would get
somebody else, so they'd keep on calling. But I had
about four or five of them staying on there laughing
at them because they would finally called on that I
was doing that to them, so they were starting to
play along with it too. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
How is that sixteen? How is it that you and
Terry and Victor have all this time to do stuff
like this? Are you married? Guy? Mike?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
No?
Speaker 9 (11:33):
But I work outside for a living, so I have
them on my phone and I just keep on calling
when I'm doing my job. This longs so they'll be
talking to each other. I just put them on mute
and don't even pay attention.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Victory, you've done that before where you've conferenced them together.
Have you ever had up to sixteen before? That's amazing?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
No, No, I want to be This guy's a new
best friends.

Speaker 1 (12:44):

Speaker 5 (12:48):

By law, they have to tell you.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
So if you donate one hundred dollars, you say what
percentage is going to go to the charity? Ninety percent
of time they get four to five percent.
Speaker 5 (16:04):

The rest of the money goes to pay the employees
the company and everything else.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Wow, So don't ever donate any money.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
I don't care if they tell you this is directly
the company. They only get like four to five percent.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Of the one hundred dollars or ten dollars or whatever
that you send them.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
That and they have to tell you categories and percentages.
They have to by law, they have to tell you.
They'll always either tell you or hang up right away.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
Thank you and please hold second trans for you to
online verifier
All right, it's Mojo.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
In the morning show, we were talking about, you know,
things with the phone and stuff. Has Shannon showed you
all of the robo calls or or sales calls that
she's been.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Getting goes off? You can hear it.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
My phone rings the entire show. And it's been like,
look at this, look at this, you guys, why do
you have fully how I get upwards of like between
eighty and one hundred.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Calls a day? But why is it just recently that
it's gotten crazy?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Because so I talked about how Wes and I were
looking we're thinking about moving, and we went to look
at a house this week and for whatever reason, I've
actually never heard of people doing this. But to even
get a showing for this particular home that we were
interested in, you had to have a pre you had
to have a pre approval letter, which we didn't have,
(00:48):
so we had to like go through that process. And
the guy who was doing it for us even said,
don't put your real phone number on anything, just put
five five five five five five five whatever because or
else exactly. So what's happening to me is happening. So
I don't know how it's happening to me, but it
is driving me crazy. And normally I just let the
(01:10):
call go to voicemail and nobody ever leaves a voicemail.
But I was in the car yesterday and it was
just I was in a mood and I think I
was channeling misfit Victor and I started answering some of
the calls as Costco Bakery, Hello, this is Nicole from
(01:31):
Rosesboom dot com. I mean, I did them all, but
the best was I I was like, oh, I'm really
going to like toy with somebody. One of my really
good friends works for the Birmingham Police Department. So I
answered the phone call Birmingham Police Department and then I
used her name like officer, I don't want to say
her name, but and the guy on the other end
was like, is this Shannon, And I was like, no,
(01:52):
you called the Birmingham Police Department. And I'm like, you know,
he's going back and forth, note Shannon and you know,
said my last name and so I am not budget
And finally he gets so pissed off and he's like,
you know you have some nerve doing this.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Was he still a sales call or was it somebody
that was talking to you, the guy.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
That was scroming at you. No, it was like it
was from one of these mortgage Okay, so they know
your name when you're doing it.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And again I don't know enough about this to know
how where how they've gotten all of my information so quickly,
but they did. And he said my name like he
knew my first and last name.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But Victor has and I don't. I haven't talked to
Victor in a long time. I mean with uh, I've
had some family stuff and things going on, and I
think he's been busy.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Can we call Victor up?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Because Victor does this just so you know that reference
while you're calling him Lydia. He will do this with
any telemarketer that calls him. He will either pretend to
be somebody else or he will play a game and
be so annoying to them and see how long he
can keep them on the phone.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
When we call Victor, can we like three way in
one of these numbers?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I thought about it, honest to got yesterday thought about
screenshotting some of these numbers and just saying he at it.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That fun.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
My favorite Victor thing to do is when somebody calls
and does these things like where they do the telemarketing
calls and he tells them.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
They say, what is your name? And he goes Tony Trevada.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
He gives our bosses name and and then they'll like,
how do you spell that? And give them all the details.
I don't even I never pick up these calls. I
don't pick mean obviously I don't pick up calls. I
don't pick up calls from friends, but I don't pick
up anything that I don't have saved in my phone anybody.
And it's kind of bad that that's the case, because
(03:42):
you can't do it anymore because there's so many of
them that come through.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
But that's why I think that particular point emphasizes that
if it's that important, they'll leave a voicemail.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
If you're getting random numbers and are not leaving voicemail,
not one of these calls have left a voicemail. What
is so? What is the deal with?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Like some people say that there's certain apps that are good,
like if you can find like an app that will
stop out all the robo calls, but I've never been
able to do it. I got one app or one service,
and it was the it was horrible. I wouldn't get it, Like,
my family couldn't even call me. It kept so many
phone numbers. Yeah, so I ended up having to cancel it.
But what's up Amy?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
How you doing good money?
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Guys?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
This is this is how it works when you're looking
for you, whether you get any sort of loan, why
don't you get your credit?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Call right?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Companies pay for those lists.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Who who just you know applied for a mortgage somewhere and.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Then really I thought that I kind of had an
inkling that it had something to do with my credit
and obviously my phone number is you know.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So wait, so so the is it the find every time? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So that whole thing that Shannon says when people say
how did you get my number? And somebody must have
you know, like when you say that stuff, that's actually
a true thing that's coming back at.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You, right, can you out anyway? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I mean, I guess it's not like you know, Instagram,
when you download a app and it says share yourself
and it says never share or.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Does apparently Victor, good morning.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
When did you get in an accent? Where where did
that thing come from?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
This is a Rodney I'm calling from medicaid.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Sounds like, dude, are you proud of me?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I am proud of you.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
But I mean it's the thing is if the more
like just by answering or talking period, Uh, they're just
going to hit We used to.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Do top marketing a long time ago.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
You would just hit F four F two and I
would just reschedule you first for somebody to call you.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yeah, so it's it's Apple is.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Apple is supposed to with the next update, is supposed
to release a a thing on there that's like almost
like a call spam blocker where, uh, if if you
don't know the number, they're going to say, Hi, this
person has this feature say your name.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
And then it'll call you.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
And I'll say so and so is calling. Do you
want to answer this call or not? Or it will
completely filter the call out?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
But I mean, is that reallything or because then they're.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
All going to is because because no, the telemarkers are
never going to say that I had a I have
to run with the app is it's called robo killer
or something like that caller.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's the one I had and it kept Chelsea from
calling me, or at least that's what she said, but.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
That's because you probably put her number on block or
something like that. But I had that and I got
I got rid of it because my life became so boring,
you know, without.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
These guys, it's just it's just amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I got a whole list for you, a couple hundred.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
He sits there because his wife, Tina will work on
the weekends at night sometimes and Victor will be home
with the kids. He has a field day grabbing calls
all that.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
The best is the call the car warranty extenders. They're
fantastic because I get them and I'm like, yeah, oh,
I definitely want to, you know, get this warranty on
a car that I haven't had in eight years.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
And then you get them, and then you.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Start asking about the packages and I want the best one,
and they get all they're like you can hear them
salivating because they're excited that they're going to and then
they I got transfer you to my online supervisor. Just
hold on, sir, And then you get transferred to online supervisor,
and you're just like, no, I never said any of that.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Trail.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Yeah, you know, they're thinking they're making this big sale
and everything, and you just get to supervisor, and you're like, Nope,
I'm never.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Doing hold on, Terry.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What's up, Terry? You're on with us this morning? What's
going on? Hey, good morning, good morning, it's going good.
We're having just a little conversation here with some guy
who's in India trying to sell us stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
His name is Victor. What's going on? So when they
call I will start.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
To answer them.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
You'll answer them in Arabic.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I do.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I ask them how they're doing, how the weather is so?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Really and if they don't know the language, they don't
know what they're doing right, well.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
They like, uh, Terry, Uh, Terry, Terry uh, And I'm like.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
They don't like it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Do you understand that the love of your life is
on the line with us, Victor? This might be the
woman that you should be with her. Can you imagine
the two of you together, that you guys would be
on each end of the couch having fun with people calling.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You absolutely looked at their money.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
Oh you know, the first one to call her and
then hang up and then immediately call me after.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Exactly, uh, what's up Scott?
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Hey? So when I when I get calls very similar,
I answered with I saying.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
What is that, Jeffany, can.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
You say that on the ear? Well, it's nothing vulgar.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's funny. Joe hold on, let me let me answer
some call. Let me use me. I'm seriously sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Maybe some money on Medicare.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
What's up, Joey, Hi, Joey?
Speaker 8 (09:41):
Hey, how are you guys?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Good? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
So?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I actually have.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
That new update from Apple that Victor is talking about. Yes,
it works amazing. So I signed up for a service
company to do fertilizer on my lawn and they do
nothing but call me three four.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Times a day.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
And then once I got the update, a little notification
pops up my phone, almost like a voicemail. It'll say
the number, and it'll almost it'll dictate what they're saying
when they answer it. You can decline, and if you
don't have your phone on, or if it's just sitting
on the counter or something, it doesn't like buzz your phone.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Okay, So it's almost just as annoying because it's still
notifications popping up on my phone.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But how many of them actually leave the message and
do that?
Speaker 8 (10:31):
The real telemarketers don't the real people that call, yeah,
start to dictate. I've had people from work that I
haven't had their number saved, dictate and then I can
pick it up from there.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Okay, all right, we'll try that. Hopefully that's that turns
out to be a good feature. Now for the iPhone, Mike,
what's going on?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Mike?
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (10:50):
A lot of times what I do, I'll call the
and I put them on a conference call and they'll
be spilling to each other about what they're trying to do.
And I have one time I had sixteen of them
trying to look hilarious.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You got sixteen of them calling together. That's crazy.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
It was funny because the one guy caught on and
I would keep on calling back, and I would get
somebody else, so they'd keep on calling. But I had
about four or five of them staying on there laughing
at them because they would finally called on that I
was doing that to them, so they were starting to
play along with it too. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
How is that sixteen? How is it that you and
Terry and Victor have all this time to do stuff
like this? Are you married? Guy? Mike?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
No?
Speaker 9 (11:33):
But I work outside for a living, so I have
them on my phone and I just keep on calling
when I'm doing my job. This longs so they'll be
talking to each other. I just put them on mute
and don't even pay attention.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Victory, you've done that before where you've conferenced them together.
Have you ever had up to sixteen before? That's amazing?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
No, No, I want to be This guy's a new

Wow, So don't ever donate any money.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
I don't care if they tell you this is directly
the company. They only get like four to five percent.
