1. Becca’s Suspicion and Backstory

• Distance in the Marriage:
  • Becca recently moved from Orlando to Atlanta for a better job, while Charles stayed behind because his sales job is better there.
  • The couple has been dealing with long-distance, and Charles didn’t object to this arrangement—raising Becca’s suspicions.
• Workplace Drama:
  • At their old workplace, Charles was often flirted with by a coworker, Anne Marie, whom Becca never trusted.
  • Friends have spotted Charles spending time around town with Anne Marie since Becca moved away.

"Even before we were married, there was this girl, Anne Marie, who was always flirting with him and just being a—"
—Becca [03:10]

2. The Set Up: War of the Roses Call

• The Plan:
  • The show's team explains the rules: Becca listens in as "Lindsey" (a producer) calls Charles as a fake florist, offering a free bouquet.
  • What Charles writes on the card and to whom he sends the flowers is the litmus test.

3. The Call with Charles

• Charles answers and is offered free roses, which he agrees to send to Anne Marie.

• On the card:

  "Thinking of you, Charles."
  —Charles [05:33]

• Becca immediately reacts with anger and heartbreak, confronting him live on air.

"You are doing that whore while I'm up here working my ass off for our marriage. Oh, you are a bastard."
—Becca [05:53]

4. The Confrontation

• Shock and Denial:
  • Charles is stunned to find out he’s on the radio and accuses Becca of being paranoid.
  • He claims his friendship with Anne Marie is innocent, but cannot convincingly explain the roses:

"There is nothing going on with that woman. There is nothing going on with her. It's in your head. It is in your head."
—Charles [07:02]

• Turning the Blame:
  • Charles tries to suggest Becca’s jealousy is the problem, while Becca stands her ground.
  • Tension escalates as Becca references their prenuptial agreement.

"I've had it up to here with all your suspicious bull, alright? You're paranoid. You're sick in the head."
—Charles [07:47]

"That same prenuptial that was supposed to protect you, well, it protects me too. You're not gonna see one red cent."
—Becca [07:51]

5. Legal & Emotional Fallout

• Becca reveals she’s already contacted her lawyer, indicating she's ready for the relationship to end.
• Charles attempts continued denial, but the evidence, tension, and prior suspicions point toward infidelity.

Purchased the bird show these War of the Roses always get a little bit out of hand. Here's the deal. Woman suspects man of cheating on her. So what she does is she calls us up and has us place a call to him, pretending to be a florist. Now she's on the line listening to what's going on. She wants to see what who he's gonna turn around and send these flowers to back to her or the woman on the side. That's what we call War of the Roses. Becca.

[G]

Yeah, this is Becca.

[D]

Hey, Becca. Hey, It's Bert at Q100.

[G]

Hey.

[C]

Hey, how are you?

[D]

I'm doing fine. How are you?

[G]

Uh, well, you know, I'm okay.

[D]

Yeah. A little curious about what's going on with your husband.

[G]

Uh huh.

[D]

All right, tell us all about it.

[G]

Well, where to begin? I just moved here three weeks ago from Orlando where my husband and I have lived. We met and we worked together for a while and got married. And he's still there because I got this amazing job up here and he works in sales. He doesn't make as much money as I do, especially now, but he was doing really well. And we decided that it would make sense for him to stay there. But at this company where we both used to work together. I mean, even before we were married, there was this girl, Anne Marie, who was always flirting with him and just being a.

[H]

We prefer the word hoochie.

[G]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[D]

Weird stuff.

[F]

Hobag.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

So.

[G]

But, you know, we got married. We have great relationships. So I thought. Or think. And now I'm up here, he's down there. We're not sure exactly when he'll be joining me, but we have mutual friends, obviously, who have seen him around town with Anne Marie. I smell something. When we decided that I should come up here on my own, he didn't seem to really have any problems with that at all.

[D]

No regrets. You're kind of hoping he was going to fight that a little bit, huh? Yeah. Yeah.

[G]

I smell something really rotten. And I need. I just need to know for sure. I mean, I already called my lawyer.

[D]

Oh, geez.

[G]

You know? But I want to know for sure.

[D]

All right, well, we'll call him and we'll find out what's going on. What's his name?

[G]

His name's Charles.

[D]

Charles. Okay, here's what we're gonna do. Lindsay, as you know, will call up she'll be a florist pretending to give him a dozen roses. You'll be on the line listening to who he's going to turn around and send these roses to. And we're hoping it's not Anne Marie, but if that happens, let him tell Lindsey exactly what he wants to write on the card also, before you start getting off on him. Okay. All right, Becca, hold on one second while we call him.

[H]

And his name is Charles.

[C]

Hello, this is Charles.

[H]

Charles, hi. This is Lindsey from oh, so Fine Florist. How are you?

[C]

I'm sorry, from where?

[H]

Oh, so Fine Florists. We're a new flower shop in the area.

[C]

Okay.

[H]

How are you?

[C]

I'm okay.

[H]

Great. Well, like I said, we're a brand new flower shop in the area, and your name came up in our database. And as part of the promotional offer, we're sending people free flowers. A dozen roses, and you can send them to whomever you like. Are you interested in sending someone free flowers?

[C]

Okay.

[H]

And I need to fill out a card first.

[C]

Okay.

[H]

Okay. Who would you like to send the roses to?

[C]

Um, why don't we send them to Annemarie?

[H]

Okay. Annemarie. I'm just writing this down. And what would you like the card to say?

[C]

Thinking of you, Charles.

[H]

Thinking of you, Charles.

[G]

Mm.

[F]

Okay.

[C]

You know, Charles, you're a. I can't believe this. Oh, my God, that whore. You are doing that whore while I'm up here working my ass off for our marriage. Oh, you are a bastard.

[D]

Hey, Charles. That's your wife. That's Becca.

[C]

Yes, it is.

[D]

Becca. Remember me? We're calling from Q100 here in Atlanta, and Becca had a suspicion that you might be messing around a little bit.

[C]

I found it.

[G]

It looks like.

[D]

And she had us place this call to see who you turn around and send the roses to. And you send them to Ann Marie and not back to your wife.

[G]

Long stemmed red roses.

[C]

Wait, what is this?

[G]

You are an. And this.

[C]

And you did this. And this is on the air.

[D]

This is on the air.

You are out of your own mind. You are so on your mind. You're eight years, right? You're paranoid. I'm paranoid because.

[D]

Chuck. Whoa, whoa, Chuck. Do you just want to explain to Becca Calmly. What's going on with Anne Marie?

[C]

There is nothing going on with that woman. There is nothing going on with her. It's in your head. It is in your head.

[D]

Okay, well why would you turn around and send, you know, when you get the roses, why would you send them to Anne Marie and not, you know, immediately send them to you?

[C]

Well, I'm looking at you, number one, Becca. Well, we are friends. It is an act of friendship. There's nothing going on with us, okay? Nothing. Now you need to get it together. Oh, this is just.

[G]

This is classic.

[C]

This is classic. You're cheating and it's my fault and I have a problem. I am not cheating on you, Charles.

[H]

Why would you. If you're not cheating, then why would.
