My dad just goes along with the ‘have you recently had an accident’ ones for as long as possible, before announcing that the accident was that he shat himself

The government should pay for a group of old boys and gals to do this every single day. Retirement can get extremely boring and this gets everyone out to meet each other and make new friends. It's literally a public service.

The red-haired woman is brilliant. “I was just telling them about when I was cold.”

[fetzie]

Just don't give them your ACTUAL life history, because that information is about as valuable to them as your credit card details.

“Do you happen to know the atomic number for lead?” I loved that one.
And the turtle one was great too

This reminds me of a game my dad used to play with his co-workers they had to waste the scam caller’s time for as long as possible, they didn’t give out any personal information or anything they just had to keep talking until the person hangs up. The company record is 23.14 minutes 😂

Best way to deal with cold callers I’ve ever seen was a little video of an older lady taking her phone into the kitchen, placing it under a metal pan lid and battering it with a wooden spoon until they rang off. Simple but effective.

I rang the number out of curiosity and it actually works

[emmatorode]

That James Corden being aggressive joke 😭 he’s so dodgy behind the scenes

I used to work for the tax office and people would think it was a scam, I would say ' you can call us back if you like so you can be sure' and they would say 'its ok, I'm sure you are not a scam' and be giving me bank details 5 minutes later. There was literally no way that they knew I wasn't a scam. It haunts me how trusting people are if you sound sincere

0:05 with Catherine in the back sticking a fork in the toaster... nice

First time I went to England, I once picked up the phone and answered in Spanish thinking it was my family calling. They hung up.

My host family asked me to answer the phone in Spanish from then on to ward off telemarketers 😂

Joe, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this number and message.
From now on, this will be my new number for opening new accounts. It is also a handy number to give out to drunken admirers in the pub. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have changed my life.

[scouserify]

Joe is really helping so many people with this show and entertaining us all in the process

[dlawn]

David! There's a man on the phone and I'm just telling him about that time I was cold.

[joyclark]

I've had these calls, I have two ways of dealing with them, the first scream "you never told me there would be so much blood, what shall I do with the body?" The second, putting on my best world war two voice i tell them they have come through to a secure governement line, call for Captain Manwairing and say, "Incursion on secure line 1, target identified, target acquired" normally at that point the line goes dead. great fun.

[rocktricksp]

I’m always like who does Joe Lycett remind me of? George and Fred Weasley. (Also jfc is he eleven feet tall or is Marc really small???)

[chrisfelgate]

Best scam was cold callers calling you up selling a 'cold call blocker' for you landline hahaha

[Rainecaine]

It feels weird that there isn’t people laughing in the background

My grandad got one of those ones about improving your computer by downloading their thing so he played along until the end when they said “any questions?” and he replied “how am I supposed to do this without a computer?” or something like that. The same grandad and nan kept getting phone calls about organising funerals which were really upsetting nan so I suggested that she tells them that means she’ll have to dig up the patio, they haven’t had another one like that since
