03:49 The host is concerned about receiving robocalls with California area codes and wonders if the robocallers are tracking their location, and also wants to understand why there has been an increase in robocalls.

07:55 Health Insurance Innovations (HII) is a company that uses robocalls to sell insurance plans, but they have a history of misrepresenting their products and have received numerous complaints.

11:56 The increase in robocalls is due to a court decision that overturned the FCC's order cracking down on autodialers, allowing robocallers to make as many calls as they want.

24:53 Cell phone carriers have been selling location data to companies like Bruno's, who then use it to route callers to the nearest location, but the misuse of this data by bounty hunters and other companies has led to carriers cutting off access and causing concerns about consent and privacy.

28:50 The theory being explored is that the robocalls are related to the apps on Damiana's phone, as apps collect a lot of information about users.

33:34 Apps on Damiano's phone collect a lot of information about him, including his Wi-Fi network, router serial number, location, IP address, and other apps he has downloaded, which creates a unique fingerprint of a person that is valuable to marketers for micro-targeted advertising; one app in particular, Mobile Legends Bang Bang, stands out as it sends not only the phone number but also the IMEI and IMSI of the phone to advertising companies, which raises questions about why this information is being collected.

38:04 Mobile Legends Bang Bang is sending information to six different places, including a mysterious one called Young Joy Game, and it is possible that this app or another app on Damiano's phone is sending his information to the robocallers or to a broker who sells it to the robocallers.
