Transcript

Support for the show comes from Mint Mobile. There are some things in your life you don't want to be transparent, like your swimsuit or your search history. That's funny. Ryan Reynolds, you got me. When it comes to your wireless bill, though, transparency is everything. That's why Mint Mobile's wireless plans have no gimmicks and no gotchas, just high-speed data and reliable coverage on the T-Mobile 5G network. I think I'm on that network. And right now, all plans are $15 a month, even unlimited. To get your new wireless plan for the aforementioned $15 a month, go to mintmobile.com slash explain. That's mintmobile.com slash explain. Cut your wireless bill to $15 a month at mintmobile.com slash explain. That's it. There's no catch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $9 for six months, or $180 for 12 months. Plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. Includes up to 20 gigabyte hotspot. Capable device required. Availability, speed, and coverage varies. See MintMobile.com.
