Dude, I think everybody watching or listening to this should look up John Oliver. Like, he did a deep dive into scamming. But it's called pig slaughtering? Yeah. Is that what it's called? Basically, they're just fattening you up like a pig

to take you to slaughter. Like, you know, and you will definitely have one. If you've got WhatsApp, I get them all the time. Hey, Dave, are you still good to share around my cousin next week? Or text messages. You get them on text. Yeah. Hey Steve, is that shop still available for hire?

And most people will ignore it, but some people go, oh no, you must have the wrong number. And then they go, oh, so sorry about that. How are you? And then you start a conversation and lonely people or nice people will engage. Shannon. Nice and lonely. lonely definitely would they end up so they're like oh they won't ask you for money they'll eventually turn it to finances and how much money they've made off this investing yeah and then there was a this one guy that was on the john oliver show was like oh don't, I'm not interested in giving you any money.

He's like, no, no, no, no, not at all, not at all. But if you want to download the app and do it yourself, this is the app, this is the, but the app's a fake app. And they're just taking all the money and it makes it look like you're earning heaps, so you put more in and then it's all gone. Oh, gosh. And then they've taken all your money.

Wow, four years at work anniversary.

Didn't think that was going to happen. I do not get it. I don't get the world of LinkedIn. It's such a circle jerk. Everybody speaks about themselves. It's so un-Kiwi the way everyone speaks about themselves. That's what I was just about to say. It's not very Kiwi LinkedIn because you're like,

I've done this amazing thing at work. And everyone's like, oh, who do you think you are? Proud to share of my career advancements. But I've had friends that get approached from other companies because they share all this stuff. And so it does work. Yeah, right. If you're actually looking for career advancement or jobs

in another industry or whatever. We don't want to lose Shannon, so maybe we'll just get her off the app. Yeah, maybe delete LinkedIn. And we'll bring it down to size. You are a poop. You stupid poop I don't know if you need to worry about me I didn't even know this was social media

And that's my job So maybe I'm safe here for now Yeah I think you're good babe Keep working at it Yara get on there Accept them all Congratulate people on a bunch of bullshit Join the circle jerk

That's not what he said. Oh, was that Warren Buffett maybe? I don't think I've ever heard that in terms of business. Okay, wasn't it Bill Gates mantra? If I lose, you don't succeed. Try, try, try again. Like, there's a business mantra. Not if we're all
