| 0:21.6 | Don't answer the phone, Elvis Duran. The Elvis Duran phone tap. All right, Garrett, it's all you today. What's going on? Well, our listener, Tina, is playing a phone tap on her mother, Joyce. Now, Joyce just got a cell phone and is the last person on earth to get into the text messaging world. Oh, welcome, Joyce. Yes. Tina thought it would be funny to mess with her mom, Joyce, about text messaging. So I call as a representative from the cell phone company explaining about text messaging. Good idea. Because when it comes to moms who are a little late to the text messaging party, they don't know what they're talking about. Very simple. We'll mess with Today's phone tap. Let's listen in. Hello? Hi, I'm looking for Joyce Rillow, please. |
| 0:41.1 | This is she. Hi, Joyce. My name is Alex Graham. |
| 0:44.4 | I'm calling from Nazarvah. Okay. I see that you signed up with us not even two days ago. So first off, |
| 0:51.8 | welcome to the family. Thank you. I know you signed up for the |
| 0:55.2 | 250 text messages a month. You're about to exceed that by a lot, so. I don't think that's |
| 1:02.2 | possible. I did too many text messaging. Well, yeah, I'm not sure if you're aware of how it works. |
| 1:08.1 | We go by the letter. I've only sent four text messages um you sent a text |
| 1:14.0 | message to skis here with louisner wolf skis yep that's my daughter tina yes you sent the text |
| 1:20.0 | message i said this text message go through so every letter on that counts towards your text |
| 1:27.0 | message allotment. |
| 1:28.5 | Why would you do it per letter? That's how we work. That's how we make so much money. |
| 1:32.7 | Usually that's... Everybody's about money right now. That's the problem. Everybody wants to find a way |
| 1:38.0 | to make more and more money and just to get all of us. That's trying to do. |
| 1:42.9 | That's why people sign up for the unlimited plan because you could send as many letters as you want. You know what that's called? That's called a bait and switch. You're trying to set a little bait out there and say, oh, it only costs this much. It's not that much at all. And then really what you're doing is screwing us because in the end, you want me, how much is this unlimited? |
| 2:01.8 | Oh, I bet it's $25 extra a month, isn't it? |
| 2:04.6 | Did you or did you not just send a text message 10 minutes ago? |
| 2:08.9 | Yes. |
| 2:09.7 | Okay. |
| 2:10.4 | And you said, did you watch Glee? |
