| 0:47.3 | that was interested in unmasking the scam. I think we both always had a passion for justice. |
| 0:52.8 | We came together as best friends about 15 years ago and both moved to Los Angeles with dreams of being content creators, entertainers. And as I was telling you off camera, we kind of stumbled into it in 2016 when I received a robocall, wasted the guy's time and the call went crazy. It was one of those fake IRS calls where they're like, hey, you got to pay your taxes, pack two taxes or we're going to come arrest you right now. And I knew it was fake, but I wanted to waste this time and just make a funny video. And it ended up going crazy viral. So you just quickly, you get this call and you take out your iPhone?
