Too cheap? Not lucky enough to be American? Write in to our advice column! Send an MP3 to blockedandreportedpodcast@gmail.com with “ADVICE” in the title and you might be lucky enough to be mocked/advised by Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog on B&R. All are welcome to write in, whether or not you are a Primo.

But as usual, there may be more to the story…
