  Speaker 1: Nothing says complete and total financial freedom like having a
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: company credit card. But I've heard if you do, you
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: can buy whatever you want and never have to pay
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: for anything yourself, unlimited budget, zero consequence.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, don't have to keep her septs or anything.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Right, that is, until we call your wife and tell
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: her about the strange purchases that you've been racking up
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: during your business trip. Are some of them made up? Yeah,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: but we're going to do everything we can to paint
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: her husband in the weirdest way possible, because that was
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: his request in your phone.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Tap right now the twenties. Hello, Hi, am I speaking
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: with Deanna?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Is the same good your Ken's wife?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I can I help you something?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping you can help me. My name's Howard Silverfork.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I work in the financial department at your husband's company CO.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry I can't really help you. I mean, he's
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: away on business. Is my day off?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I know he's on his business trip right now in Arlington.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Is everything okay?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, as far as we know it is.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's attending all his scheduled meetings and sales calls,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: but he's not answering any of my emails about some
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: interesting expenses that he's been incurring.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: That's odd.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: We text every day.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I haven't been texting him.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I've been emailing because it's a business matter, and I'm
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: just trying to figure out what's going on, what he's doing.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: What do you mean, what's he been doing? He's just
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: up on business at the moment.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So, I mean that's what I thought.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I don't really know if I should be telling you this,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but he did use his company credit card at someplace
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: called the Frog Palace.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Frog Palace. Are you familiar with that place? Oh?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Not at all?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, I hadn't heard of it either, So I searched it,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and apparently it's for people who are really into frogs.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Definitely a subculture. I was not aware of.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: What has this got to do with Ken.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, these are unauthorized charges that your husband
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is putting onto the company credit card. And so, like
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I said, I was researching it where he was going.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And the Frog Palace has a big four story frog
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: hotel and bar, along with a costume shop and they
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: sell a bunch of adult sized tadpole outfits and tongue extensions.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: So you're telling me that he bought a bunch of stuff.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: There or like, yeah, it appears that way, because I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: called over and tried to get a little more information
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: about what he was buying, and they could only tell
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: me he purchased a bunch of something called pond shooters.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Pond pond shooters.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently it's a shot of alcohol that tastes exactly
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: like pond water. Oh my god, and they chase it
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: down with something called Croca cola.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I must be a misunderstanding or something. I mean, really,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: this is strange.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Let me just ask, is there any way that he
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: could have been hiding this from you and that he's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: secretly into this lifestyle of dressing up like an amphibian
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and going to meet other amphibio files.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: And he's not into that kind of stuff. Like we've
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: been married for years, I would know this, okay, since
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: clearly come a full as card or.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: What you know, everything else he purchased seems totally normal.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if I mentioned it was twelve
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars that he spent, so it's a serious matter.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Twelve hundred dollars. There is no way my husband would
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: spend money on stuff like that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Want to believe you. I want to fall into that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: line of reasoning. But the next afternoon there was a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: six hundred dollars charge at the Ribbet emporium. The ribt
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: he bought a bunch of CBD lollyhops and a frog hoorn.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: So telling you that there's no way that my husband
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: what have made twelve hundred dollars the charges and frog
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: stuff and then gone more drop frog stuff? Are you
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: kidding me?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, take a breath, Take a breath.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Look, I'm not trying to accuse you of doing anything here.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So all need to get your credit card information so
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that we can move the charges over to your account
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: once this is all sorted out.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: But tell to the no, no, no, no, no, no no no.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: This must be a scam if you want my information, I'm.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Not getting all right, with all due respect, ma'am, your
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: husband is the one who's scamming us. We're the victims
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: here and we need to get this under control before
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: he ends up charging another one thousand dollars that like
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: flies are us or something.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're telling me frog things, tong extensions and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: maybe like the pawnshot.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it'll make more sense to you when I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: let you know that I work on a radio show
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning and we're doing
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a prank call on you.
• 4:50
