the frank and fritzy show

EPISODE 19

Fritzy pulls an Alan Greenspan and dispenses some sage financial advice: Pay off your debts. Buy low. Don't mooch. And keep an eye out for the ole Russki-Tushki. But above all, be a man of principle. And as for Social Security and that lockbox, Fritzy has this to say: Oogatz! Note that we've marked a break in the tape with a brief piano interlude. (7:35)
