Funny how he mentions the cost of the phone right as we posted about it. Due to the lengthy pandemic, times have been really rough. Some people couldn't afford being on a contract phone any longer and had to go to pay as you go monthly, and those phones tend to be really cheap in comparison to the expensive, contract phones. Even money conscious individuals have had to switch, simply due to the fact that 40 a month is more affordable than hundreds.
Sadly, I know all about the cheap phones. A few months ago I had to do a lot of research, and for a humble person who doesn't do much on their phone mine was 200 bucks. And even then, after a single drop in a case, the phone cracked and that was that. I imagine Lou isn't being True and Honest about his expenses, and I can't wait to find out what phone he really buys.
