Transcript excerpt

As some of you know, I'm on my phone a lot. And as all of you know, I'm also a father. With the chaos of having two young boys, I've been trying to downsize a few things and get rid of the stuff we don't need. Last week, I took my mobile bill into Verizon, and wouldn't you know it, they got me a better deal. That's right. Take your mobile bill from AT and T, T Mobile, Xfinity, or Spectrum to Verizon, we'll get you a better deal. Plus, you can be on America's best network no you can worry about the important things.
