@planetmoney Hey Planet Money, solve a mystery for me. Is there any good reason not to go to a budget cell phone carrier like Boost or Mint if they license the big cell carrier’s network anyway? I’m tired of paying a big phone bill for a phone I mostly use to send texts.

@yozetty That’s super interesting. I know who Ryan is but didn’t have him on my radar. Now, I’m super interested to see how this plays out. Thanks!

[Allen Cooley @acool13]

@yozetty Help me out. I started watching Double Fine Psych Odyssey at your recommendation. I’m to episode 18 and I remember you saying on the podcast that one of the people in the documentary was your favorite because of their story arc . Can you remind me who that person was?

@ChiliPeppers Dearly love y’all but these prices are crazy. Whomever set these prices don’t know Albuquerque. We aren’t used to these prices. If the show was $100, I’d imagine the show would have sold out in hours. It’s Sat and I see tons of tickets left. Were you secretly hoping to cancel?

⁦@planetmoney⁩ Care to comment on Michael Burry’s Bigger Short? Should people be worried he’s right? https://t.co/ftKN7A9b4G

(SPOILER ALERT FOR THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TEARS OF THE KINGDOM)

Tears of the Kingdom: The Master Sword has been basking in sacred power for thousands of years. It is at full strength.

(After fighting like 3 Bokoblins)

Tears of the Kingdom: The Master Sword is low on energy.

@AppleMusic Just letting you know that Funeral by Arcade Fire have two songs that are completely wrong. Track 2 and Track 5 load the song before it. Could someone fix it, please?

@pitchfork I was listening to the new Phoebe Bridgers EP and this song was written by Tom Waits years ago and he isn’t credited. What gives? All Phoebe did was change the lyrics a little bit.

[Allen Cooley @acool13]

@AppleMusic Hey, I didn’t know that changing a few lyrics means you get sole credit for writing a song? This song was written by Tom Waits years ago and he isn’t credited. I like Phoebe Bridgers but this seems wrong.

The hard thing with families is that often instead of loving you for who you are, they hate you for who you’re not.

@planetmoney How much of the business that gas stations or grocery store do can be attributed to people just needing to break a $20 bill? I ask because I’m sitting in line at an ATM and it’s been a long day, and I still have to go break a $20 after this.

[Allen Cooley @acool13]

@pchh Please help. I remember once listening to an episode about Black Mirror of your show that for the life of me I cannot find and Google has been no help. It is not the Bandersnatch episode but another episode where many different seasons weee discussed. Do you know it? Help!

If you are not in maintenance, security, or you’re not a doorman, you don’t get to have keys jangle when you walk everywhere. Don’t be that guy.

Tried to talk to my kids about fire safety and they both started bawling. Not gonna win any Dad awards but maybe they’ll be a little more prepared.

Nothing better portrays the American experience at this time like finally paying off one home equity loan so you can successfully apply for a new home equity loan.

@planetmoney I saw this article this morning and it worries me. It seems inevitable that if this trend continues, more stores will move to selling things online only. Is that an unreasonable assumption? Maybe a future episode topic? https://t.co/WOIZJhsaBz

@ayesharascoe I had to come give you a shout-out for giving love to the Bobby Brown song, “On Our Own” from Ghostbusters 2 on the recent episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour. I’ve lived my whole life thinking I was the only one alive that liked that song. Lol

@Joejuba (2/2) always able to voice things that were interesting about a game that others might have missed. I’ve been listening to the podcast since the beginning and I’ve been reading GI longer than that so I’ll miss your presence in both of those formats but I wish you all the best.

[Allen Cooley @acool13]

@Joejuba Joe, I’m not on Twitter much these days so sorry for being late to the party but I just listened to the podcast and I had to jump on and say something. You’ve always been one of my favorite writers at GI. You’ve always approached your reviews with thoughtfulness and you (1/2)

Guys, I just want to listen to Yo La Tengo all the time now. You might say I “have it.” You wouldn’t, of course. But you could.
