Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, almost time for
your phones app. And I don't remember the last time
we made someone really angry during one of our pranks,
but this one definitely falls into that category. It all
starts innocently enough, where I'm just pretending to call a
guy from a cable company. I see, you're not the
problem here. I'm just checking this if he wants to

(00:22):
get an upgrade? How could that go horribly wrong? It's
your phone's app right now. Hello, Hi, I'm looking for Lawrence.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
This is Lawrence.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hi Lawrence. My name is BJ Honeycutt. I'm from XD Wireless.
How are you doing today? I'm good, I'm great, sir.
The reason that I'm calling is because I noticed your
yearly contract is coming up with us, and you're actually
eligible for an upgrade to our premium service.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh okay, all right, what's the what are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Well, it'll only be an extra sixty nine ninety nine
per month, which I have to say is quite a deal.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, that's a little too much.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Bro it's too much. Okay, Well, that's disappointing to hear.
Can I ask you are are you close to your
router right now.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I can see it. I can see it from across
the room. I can see it.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well, can you just check something for me and get
much closer to it?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah? Hold on, section, let me be hold on. What
is a Well?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Just tell me when you're standing right next to the router?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
All right, I'm standing right next to the.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Route, okay, and hold your phone right above it?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Okay, phones above the router? And why am I doing
this again?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Perfect? All right? Your payment has gone through what and
you'll be seeing that premium service added no later than
tonight at nine pm? Sir?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
No, man, what did you just do? What did you
say you just did?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
And what did you just do?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Didn't do anything? You just put your phone above the
router just so you could check something for me. And
I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh I just heard the Apple pay sound. Come on?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
What the did you just do?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Like that?

Speaker 3 (02:10):
One?

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Hell?

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Man, you do not have to give me a tip
for my services, but I do appreciate the extra twenty
dollars for you.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
All right, look both ways before you cross the street
because I might be driving.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
So what are you doing? Man? You better not beat
all charges there, I swear to God.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Sarah, I do think you need to calm down a
little bit here. I'm not really sure what's going on
and why you're getting so heated, but again, I do
appreciate your generosity. You are very kind.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, you're talking to to you.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
You called me up about some both upgrade and then
you tell me stand near the router.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Then you hit me twice with Apple Pay.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Well, you're telling me.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
To calm down.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
In my defense, you're saying that I hit you twice.
One was to pay for a service and the other
was a tip out of the kindness of your own heart.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
So I didn't pay anything through Apple Pay. Okay, you
asked me to do something.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
I stood near the router.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Okay, sorry, I'm checking me up for this pad. I
hear the frustration. I think we can fix this. Are
you still standing by the router?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
No, I'm not standing by the router again.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Okay, could you go back towards it?

Speaker 4 (03:15):
No? Oh, son of am Okay, how the hell are
you getting this? And I'm not even standing near the route.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Thirty dollars this time? This is the You are more
than generous, sir. Again, you really do not have to
do this.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
I'm not giving you any money. Right now.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Who's your supervisor?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I'm not I cannot give out that information at this time.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Oh yeah, very nice, very convenient.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
But if you would stay it through that, if you
could stand a little bit closer to your router, I
might be able to get him on the phone.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Bro I'm not even in my house right now, I'm
not even close to it, but I'm close to coming here.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Wow, your service is excellent, sir. You get upgrade was
worth it.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
I know these call to recorded, so whoever's listening can
go himself.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, you know what I got it, sir.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh you're gonna get it.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
No, I understand you want to cancel your premium upgrade
and go with the ultra package. Perfect, all right. I'm surprised.
I'm I'm just as surprised as you are because that's
an additional fifteen dollars a month on top of the
sixteen ninety nine. I mean that I'm at this rate,
I'm gonna be employee of the month here.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
You're gonna get fooed in federal court, in another court
