Morning 6-Pack - Six Ridiculous Things to Say That Make Scammers Hang Up

I kick things off by giving you the top six things to say that'll make a scammer hang up immediately — for real, like dial tone and peace out. Americans get hit with about 25 scam messages/calls a week (nine calls, nine emails, seven texts on average), and we’ve all got like 350 things rotting in our spam folder while almost a quarter of folks admit they’ve fallen for one — so yeah, these scammers are busy. I run through six goofy, awkward, and straight-up gross lines you can use: from asking if I can talk about the role Jesus plays in my life, to offering to burp the alphabet, to doing a screaming-View impression, to asking whether something is a prolapsed anus or a hemorrhoid, to telling the story of why my high-school nickname was “Slappy.” We laugh about my own stunt of screwing with a scammer by whispering fake card digits, and we leave the very best mic-drop line — the number one — unspoiled so you actually have to listen. Tune in, get a few chuckles, and arm yourself with chaos so the next scammer disconnects faster than you can say “nice try.”
