Hello, Jack. Hello, hello. Good, well, it's good evening for me. I guess you're in the States, so it's probably the afternoon.
Okay.
Oh, yes. There's very, well, there's very few people I think don't like chocolate. I know. Yeah. Yeah, chocolate's great. Yeah, yeah. Keeps you going, bit of energy.
Yeah, a little caffeine hit. Indeed. You know, there's only like a few places in the world that have caffeine. There's tea, coffee, cola, chocolate. And I think that's it. That's the natural sources.
Yeah. It's hard to do without it. I do like a bit of chocolate. You're actually making me hungry. I probably got you at a bad time. I wasn't actually expecting you to say, yeah, I'm ready to go and we can just do this. But it absolutely suits me down to the ground.
You know what? The thing is that you are the most requested guest maybe I've ever had. Wow.
Okay.
So if you're available, I'm available. Let's go. I'm going to put the chocolate to the side and let's make a podcast.

Today, I have the absolute pleasure to speak with Jim Browning. Jim was the first person I ever saw do scam baiting, and I was blown away that someone even does this sort of thing. Scam baiting is just as it sounds.
He tries to bait scammers to scam him, and he records it for YouTube, and it's really quite amazing to watch. So it still says connecting?
Yeah, I don't know why. Yeah.
Oh, is the virus doing this? All right. Yes. Nothing to do with the live stream then. Actually, the alert which you got, that is the security block alert, which is coming from internet. Because right now you haven't know any internet security. That is the reason while browsing over the internet by mistake or by accidentally, you might have a click any link, which was not secure. Okay.
