	6:02pm listener james from westwood: Evening, Mark, Roger, and all!
	6:02pm Fredericks: Hello Jolly Roger!
	6:03pm Carmichael: I use NoMoreRobo. Seems to work pretty well.
	6:05pm geezerette: Hello, Mark! Ahoy, Jolly Roger! & buddies!
	6:05pm queems: oh god the circle made me a nervous wreck
	🤖 6:07pm Webhamster Henry: Google feels we are not taking enough photographs.
	6:09pm Carmichael: That way, when someone steals my phone, they steal ALL my data.
	6:11pm geezerette: Webham Henry, exactly. @Mark, you aren't being cynical. You're being observant.
	6:11pm glenn: ahoy! this is your captain speaking.
	6:11pm Jeff: Remember the 1989 analog version of the fun automatic-picture-taking camera? The Konica Kanpai! The party camera. "The main attraction is its voice-activation, though. After adjusting to the ambient sound level, the camera reacts to loud voices or noises, indicated by a row of LEDs on the front. Standing on its funny tripod with basket shoes, it turns within a 45° angle toward the source of the sound and takes a picture automatically." camera-wiki.org...
	6:12pm northguineahills: I was visiting my parents and caught my Dad in a 2 hour call about to pay for $2500 to upgrade his norton security on his computer, I shut that down quick.
	6:13pm JollyRoger: Actually, Mark is a bot right now. We created it together.
	6:13pm glenn: i'd like to strangle them all, the fuckers.
	6:14pm Jeff: collectiblend.com...
	🤖 6:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: I basically gave up on answering the phone anymore. I only pick up if it's someone I know. I do like the idea of someone who's wasting the telemarketers' time.
	6:15pm Mark Hurst: Thanks, everyone! Nice to see everyone here. And welcome, Roger!
	🤖 6:15pm Webhamster Henry: Sharon calls me two or three times week. On all my lines.
	6:16pm listener james from westwood: Oh, this is delightfully evil.
	6:16pm queems: i love this
	6:16pm joe mulligan: oh gawd who is this SEM punk representing!?!
	6:16pm steve: haha there's a bee
	6:16pm listener james from westwood: My fellow copy editors seem to have been plagued by several sales Heathers. No Winonas yet though.
	6:16pm Jeff: It had me at bee.
	6:16pm glenn: evil, and awesome.
	6:16pm Mark Hurst: Uh-huh?
	🤖 6:17pm Webhamster Henry: It's like Andy Breckman.
	6:17pm Listener142985: I want this thing right now! Awesome. better than Longmont Potion Castle.
	6:17pm geezerette: I'm afraid to touch it.
	6:17pm northguineahills: I don't even have my ringer turned on. If I don't see my phone, I won't pick up. It does sound like Andy Breckman.
	6:18pm queems: this sounds like something my dad would do but he's a live person
	🤖 6:18pm Bas NL: This is soooo great!!
	6:18pm northguineahills: delightfully beautiful!
	6:18pm dale: one night our phone rang 6 or 7 times and when the machine was about to pick up the caller hung up so we couldn't screen. 8th time i pick up and scream 'what? what the fuck do you want so bad you have to call over and over?!' then a little tiny voice asks for my wife - it was one of her clients. i felt horrible and she said he always does that if he doesn't get through.
	6:19pm herb.nyc: Wait, no bees were harmed, right?
	6:19pm JollyRoger: That bee won't leave me alone!
	6:20pm listener james from westwood: Can we get a Cathy McGinty version? "::burp:: Sorry, I'm gassy!"
	🤖 6:21pm Webhamster Henry: iPhone apps can't directly talk to the phone side of the device, but you could set up my app Yes Session to do more or less the same thing: wait for gaps in the conversation and insert a random sample.
	6:22pm Jeff: Given the annoying BS of caller-ID spoofing, the calls I'm least likely to answer are the ones seeming to come from my exact same area code and exchange.
	🤖 6:23pm Webhamster Henry: Well, there's a purported scam about answering "Yes", that they record your assent and use it to authorize over-the-phone services.
	🤖 6:23pm Bas NL: I once managed to hang on to a telemarketer for 45 minutes and in the end he confessed he hated his job and he promised to quit next day.
	6:24pm queems: i started seeing phone numbers from the town i'm from and i keep thinking they are doctors offices so i answer but they are always telemarketers
	6:24pm Carmichael: I get telemarketing calls from unused internal numbers here at the government agency where I work.
	6:24pm Bea: I loved hearing the bots talking to each other!
	🤖 6:25pm Webhamster Henry: I make strong arguments for unionizing call centers and urge the agent to join with the other cubicles in a mass walkout.
	6:26pm melinda: The clip made me lol
	6:27pm Syl: Right, what about the scam that Webhamster Henry mentions -- the telemarketer/company records you saying "Yes" and uses that to prove you assented to a service or purchase. How does Jolly Roger protect you from that?
	🤖 6:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: In the 70s, my dad kept a guy from Fingerhut on the line for maybe an hour, just stringing him along. The guy finally asked if Dad could send in a check, he responded he was just wondering about the product. The telemarketer started swearing and hung up.
	6:28pm melinda: I get Sharon calls at work a lot.
	6:30pm Bea: These are robots I can get behind!
	6:32pm Dean: I'm not so sure the recorded assent makes much difference. How is payment made?
	🤖 6:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Too bad the Workaholics show in Comedy Central has run its course before the guys could do an episode with these bots.
	6:33pm northguineahills: Crap, I'm in my 40s and I prefer to never use my phone for voice calls except to call my parents.
	6:33pm joe mulligan: I love playing the "Turing Test" with bots when they call me. I ask them, "what's your favorite color," "what was the last movie you watched," or, "how would you feel if I told you I liked you?"
	6:34pm Jeff: Thanks, @JollyRoger!
	6:34pm JollyRoger: I've never found an actual case of "you said yes to us, here's 1000lb of cheese" happening. Also, the voice saying "yes" is not yours. I think of it as "what if your drunk roommate answered the phone?"
	6:34pm northguineahills: Thanks Jolly Roger, that was superb!
	6:35pm Jeff: Mmm, 1000lb of cheese.
	6:35pm JollyRoger: At one point, Moby Dick says "Your mom? Totally hot". He cracked us all up.
	6:37pm Bea: Can't wait for Skeptech - the first one was AWESOME!
	6:37pm northguineahills: Nearly half of my tee-shirt wardrobe are WFMU tees.
	6:38pm Syl: Thanks for the answer re: the "Yes" scam, Roger. Do you think that scam is an urban legend? The FCC and BBB have issued warnings about it, but I wonder if there have been any actual victims.
	6:38pm Mark Hurst: Thanks, Bea! Hope everyone can make it to Skeptech this Thursday. Here's the signup link: montyhall.ticketfly.com...
	6:40pm queems: this guy is mad
	6:41pm JollyRoger: I don't like to call it an urban legend, but yes, I think that's what it is. There was a lot of hysteria over it. This person found "patient zero" www.archersecuritygroup.com...
	6:41pm joe mulligan: brilliant work JollyRoger, and fun interview! Have you guys ever heard of Sam Kidel who plays warped muzak to telemarketers? www.factmag.com...
	🤖 6:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Act like a man, ya dumb robot!
	🤖 6:41pm Webhamster Henry: @Jolly Roger indeed, the "assent" story did sound specious to me, which is why I gave it the epithet "purported". I used to work in the emergency notification business, doing email, and had lots of trouble trying to get legitimate email past spam catchers!
	6:43pm Bea: The robots are so much nicer than the telemarketer!
	6:43pm JollyRoger: This guy makes a living wearing you down. He just got worn down by the bots and he never called back.
	6:43pm northguineahills: jajaja!
	6:44pm chris: good robot, here's a cookie.
	6:44pm Paul in Bloomfield: this is amazing
	6:44pm queems: seriously though, the audacity of this guy. like, he just invaded someone else's space and then he's mad about it
	6:45pm Mark Hurst: "Are you a real person?" ASKS THE ROBOT
	🤖 6:46pm Folsom: Ken should do the Old Codger voice for Jolly Roger.
	🤖 6:46pm Webhamster Henry: The next step is of course more AI on both sides. Commerce will kind of ensue.
	6:46pm Syl: Thanks for that article! It's so difficult to find good, hard info about this stuff.
	6:47pm northguineahills: great idea Folsom!
	6:47pm Paul in Bloomfield: @jolly roger i love this! thank you!
	🤖 6:47pm Webhamster Henry: (Irwin does the voice, but whatever)
	6:47pm glenn: yeah, no. i'm not ever going to florida. no offense, n.g.h.
	🤖 6:48pm Folsom: Ah I always thought that Ken did Old Codger - good to know.
	6:48pm glenn: and really, i have zero sympathy for anybody who can't figure out they're being messed with.
	6:49pm JollyRoger: It breaks my heart that some people pay this.
	🤖 6:50pm Webhamster Henry: I mentioned Andy Breckman because A) Ken did a show with prerecorded Andy samples once and B) I wrote this app (which I think is no longer in the store) itunes.apple.com...
	6:51pm Dean: Another legal question: Is it illegal in some states to record a call without both parties' consent (or a warrant)?
	6:51pm Fox: That older voice actor sounds strikingly like the friend of Joe Frank, Larry Block
	6:51pm JollyRoger: We have "non-recording" numbers also. But those laws don't really apply since there's only one human on the phone.

	6:54pm xunknown: Check your pronunciation on Nevada!
	6:55pm dale: and those clothing donation bins are a scam. clothes usually go to resellers and NOT goodwill or salvay.
	6:55pm queems: @dale as far as i know, girl scout cookie money isn't typically used for charity. at least my troop never used it for that
	6:56pm dale: ...and don't get me going on kars for kids.
	6:56pm glenn: huh. don't most guys crochet while watching porn?
