Our poor site, for one week in June
01:50 – unfortunately we’ve been unable to identify the bird in question. It appeared to have a white breast, gray wings, with some yellow near its tail feathers.
12:34 – Mike texted the Air Margaritaville photos on Sunday, June 16, at 7:43 PM.
15:49 – Mike is confused. We’ve discussed it via text; we obviously did not podcast about it.
19:41 – by “screen” Mickey means “site”.
20:40 – the scammers were attempting to imitate Absa Online, which is actually located at http://www.absa.co.za.
22:00 – oh, the hubris of trying to tell a story from memory while tipsy. The exact figures are $49.99 a month, which comes to $600 annually, but they’ll knock off a month if you pay for the whole year, which you have to do anyway since you can’t pay monthly. This makes it come to $550 a year, not “a month”.
23:05 – actually their quote was for $285
24:11 – Mickey is getting his numbers confused and is incapable of doing math in his head. He’s gotten $550 and $600 confused. But, like we said, the figures are $50 a month coming to $600 a year, reduced to $550.
32:30 – not exactly true. Norton Safe Web provides site owners with convenient links on the report page. Site Advisor’s contact page can be found via search engine.
36:23 – audio clip from Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, June 12.
