Episode 102 Livestream Recap
{102} May 17, 2021
Max called Sherry, who didn’t answer. He is too volatile.
Margaret called scammers but couldn’t get a fish on the hook.
SSA scammer, Officer Jeffrey Brown, answered Jessica but wouldn’t play.
The second SSA officer didn’t like the mention of Poochie Credit card.
Bob Bond also got hung up on.
Rinoa suggested that she is the subject of a training manual for scammers: “Caller comes in hard with puns and pop culture references, this person is what you call a scambaiter. This is the person you need to avoid.”
Bob got through to Amazon Prime and pretended to wonder if an earlier call was him getting a call back from a job application. The scammer bluffed that they would call back about the job to “The Bob,” scrambling wildly in the confusion.
Jessica was selling Pokemon plushies on eBay, calling from inside a washing machine. They claimed there are hackers from Nigeria, Russia and Mexico. Rinoa said Idaho, Florida, and other overseas places are a “no” for her. Jessica suggested just closing the account, but the scammer said he would “crash the database on hackers.”
Did the scammer want one of the 900 Pokemon she has in stock in payment? (NB not all the “shiny” versions.) Rinoa displays an actual (fire-hazard) Charmander plushie, non-shiny.
There’s a loud echo in the washing machine, so the senior technician will call back. Chris Williams from the “senior department” called back to say that people try to make money using data. Jessica said, “No,” to U-Gandhi shipping. Someone called “Bob” from Utah was probably to blame. Chris Williams loves, wait for it, the obscure choice of Pikachu as his favorite.
Jessica carved a Pokemon out of soap so that she could say, “Gotta scrub ’em all!”
Chris Williams said to touch the key on the “extremely bottom.” This will stop all hackers for all time ever getting into your computer.
eBay are truly magical. Running Tree.exe should get rid of “that Bob” from Team Rocket. Ban the Bob.
Chris Williams said her Facebook is probably compromised, because he explained “IP address”’ meant “the name of your computer.”
Rinoa merged Mr. Beck-HAM from Nigeria into the call. Then, some random music.
Chris Williams agreed that he likes the Mayonnaise2 and Airbiscuit and Charcoal Pokemons on the journey to Target for Google Play cards.
Target Manager, Bob, to the rescue! He called out a suddenly hard of hearing Chris Williams. Rinoa booped.
Rinoa couldn’t redeem the cards on her computer when UltraViewer was connected. Rinoa disconnected the internet. Bob insulted Chris but there’s no bro-down.
We got eight missed calls from Max in the interim.
Rinoa wanted to find out his identity.
Chris wanted Jessica to go to Walmart after a very confusing conversation about South Locust Street numbers, “Is there a square root of Melon?”
“Don’t hang up the call on me.”
BOOP over the two hour mark.

If you watched on Thursday, you might be asking, “What on earth happened?” And a few things did. The stream is in two parts so that Rinoa could reboot. She was then able to redeem the GooglePlay cards.
