If my world is in the dust only good.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Zabugle down and.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Don't much but y I'll biget and what I want.
It don't matter where.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the pickup.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hey guys, Happy Tuesday in absolutely wild news. Somehow Maddy
Jay has made it back for his second day as
feeling pickup posts.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Look, it's great to be here. I do want to
know that intro mentions Laura's name, and I just want
that to be refreshed. We dated if you will.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
No, Laura has some pretty strict clauses in her contract
and one was absolutely under no circumstances. Can you come
in and take her job?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I survive one whole week. Can we just flirt with
the idea of having the intro please?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Maybe on your last day I'll throw something in. Maybe
I'll work my magic if you make it that far.
But that's a question.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm not a fill in. I'm a permanent member here
of the team. Now you're stuck with me until the
end of the year.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You are a feeling to the end of the year.
But how did it go last night with your better
half Laura? Because you said some questionable things on the
show yesterday? Did she was a little She said she's
not good and I'll replace her.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
That's Fritt, what honestly, why would you say that? Those
words never left my mouth. You're here stirring the pot
and I don't need it. Neither does Laura. She's listening
right now. And Laura, I love you. You're doing a
great job.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So Laura and I have been podcast partners, radio hosts,
and besties for six years now. You guys have been
together eight years? Have we? Yes? Because you just had
your anniversary, then you should know that. But I know that, Yes,
I see Laura more than you, and I think Laura
trusts me more than you. And I just think if
it came push came to shove and she had to
choose one of us, I think she'd choose me. Matt.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Do you know what, I don't doubt that at all.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Very special guest here with us, Maddie J Fieling In.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
No, I'm not a guest, Britt, I'm the new host,
get it right, I'm a permanent feature.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Maybe I say new temporary hosts Maddy Jack.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
No, just say the best host we've ever had.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It's Maddy j He Matt, I know that you're like
a bit of a weird playing guy, like you love
the planes, you love talking about planes, you love flying,
you love like nutting out how you sit the scena.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Can I just say, can I just say to anyone
out there who listens right now and they are into planes,
you were not weird. We're all alike and it's a
beautiful thing. Continue.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Okay, So I have a question for you. I just
came back from Italy on the weekend mony.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's been nice.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It was lovely. Yes, while your wife was giving birth,
I was holiday very different life.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, what a fair trade off.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I was sipping my apparol while trying to get like
notifications from Laura updates. I was like, is there a
baby yet? And she's like, no, how many apparols you're on?
I'm like three. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
By the four one, she was very nearly ripped in half.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
No. So I had this moment where I know, like
there'se common questions like who owns the arm or resting
between the seats, Like there's all of these questions. But
I stumbled across a question that I haven't stumbled across before.
Hit me, who owns the space under the seat? So
you buy your seat? Right, You've got your seat. But
(03:33):
is it just a known fact that the space under
the seat in front of you actually belongs to the
person behind you?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well, I think it's a known fact that everyone, at
least nine to nine point nine percent of people all
extend their legs, so they all retain the seat in
front of them, the seat that they are currently sitting on,
that is then handed back to the person behind.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, this is what I thought, right, Like, your real
estate is your seat and the space under the seat
in front of you. So I was like stretched out
as you are because you know, there's not a lot
of room in economy we all know, and it's a
twenty four hour flight, like you get cramped. So I
was planking basically as much as I could plank. Those
hiplexes get tight.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Well what were you storing?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Storing?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, like what do you need the extra room for?
Just for your legs?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Just my legs. So I was planking out right, so
like you know, how to lay out long because I
was trying to get my legs under the seat in front.
And I'm five nine, I'm quite long, so my legs
like go almost to the front of the other seat, so.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You hang on a sickond. So the person inside if
they if they look down, your little were just giving them.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Away, so they weren't out. I know that there is
a there is a boundary. There is a boundary like
like a line like the equator, that you don't cross
it right. So my legs are out, and then I
could feel the person in front of me would kick
their legs back under and would hit my legs as.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
An accidental r Do you think it was just like
a courteous tap of like, hey, you've come too far,
retreat Just good question.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I gave them grace, to be honest, at the start.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You gave them grace.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I gave them grace, and I was like accidental foot bump.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Also not talking about producer Graces in the room.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
She's still with us. I gave them a lot of grace.
I was like, accidental foot bump. There's no way that
they would intentionally this is obviously my real estate. And
then I think what started as an accident maybe turned
into a bit of viciousness, and then it started to
get a bit. We can started to be playing twotsies,
whereas I think they were pushing back on me. Is
in like back off my seat space.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You were attacked on a plane.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
My foot was attacked on playing by another person's foot.
Lucky we had socks on. There was a skin to
skin that wasn't skin of skin, it was a barrier.
But then I was like, hang on, am I in
the right to be twotsying him back? Like? Can I
fight this fight? Or should I be backing off and
retreating with my twits?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I actually this person may have misinterpreted the situation and
thought that you were trying to flirt.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Shut up. No, he was about sixty. Does that change it?
I love that.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm very sure he was traveling with his wife. There
was a woman next to him. But I was like, no,
this is like I understand that you pay for your seat,
but it's like an unspoken rule that you also with
your seat comes the room in front of you.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I hate to be the better of bad news here,
but I think once you were in a line of
sight of that person who was sitting there, if they
can see your toes wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
See them, and I had compression socks on.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Anyway you can you can see the compression socks. You've
come too far in the wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't think that's correct. I think if we polled
this to the nation, people would be on my side.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Go pull the trigger. Put the pole up.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, great, Grace, can you get the pole up? It's
the pick up with Britt Laura and Maddie Jake.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
She's not here for it. We can't just like white.
She's remove her from every bit of marketing material possible.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Please you watch Matt's going to photo shop his face
onto every picture of Laura on the pickup.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Give me a log in and I'll do it. I've
been looking tight up in your computer trying to figure
out what the password is.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Hey, you'll probably love this, mat because this could be
up your alley for trying to steal Laura's job. Ai.
I want to talk to you about this new actress
that he's taking over Hollywood. I don't know if you've
seen her. Her name is Tillie Norwood. I'm going to
show you a photo of her. She's like super cute
girl next door. Every girl next door like long, luscious
brown hair. Her Instagram is like she's just having coffees
(07:11):
and like doing things with the girls and yogurt and whatever.
And she's just been I believe it was like Can
Film festival. So her manager been there selling her, right,
she's the next big thing in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So do they just walk around with a tablet being
like this is Tilly? How do they sell her?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
This is the problem. So Tilly is not a real actress,
even though she's like quoted to be the next hot thing.
She's AI So she doesn't exist. And this is getting
a lot of Hollywood off side because imagine you're at
like the biggest film festival and all anyone is talking
about is somebody that doesn't exist. And so what her
(07:47):
agency has said is like we all we have sorry,
we've taken the best of who we think are all
the best actresses to create this one like super actress.
And they've even said like she's the next Scarlet, You're Hansen.
Now the problem is Scarlet your hands and still exists.
She's just in Jurassic Park. She's a brilliant actress. Like
(08:07):
she said, guys haven't died.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I'm still book me for a movie.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, but this is the problem?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Are we at the point where we are going to
be happy as a society to sit back and watch
a film where these people don't even exist, They don't
have real feelings, there's no human connection, Like, how are
they supposed to connect with a TV role or a
movie roll or the character?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, hang on if you're talking about connection Lion King, Okay,
move fusser Right, he's a cartoon. Did I cry? Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yes, I feel you on that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But we've been crying at things that aren't real for
our entire lives.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Break ye, But that's an animal, so it's different. So
imagine what is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
If et all right when he went back home.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Don't start me on aliens because I believe in that
it wasn't real.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Okay, I think we're all getting too worked up over this. Okay,
we need it. Relax.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Do you think there's no problem with it? Do you
know what? Honestly like literally taking everybody's jobs. It'll take
your job. You've only been here ten minutes. As going
to take your job.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I'm backing up Tilly. She's getting a bad rap. People
are getting worked up over nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
And you know what she doesn't care she's a robot.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
But I just think forrit I just think that we
shouldn't be defending these millionaire actors over in Hollywood. They're
going to be fine, honestly.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Do you know what, though, this is interesting segue. A
lot of Hollywood actors don't make that much money. Like
there's about one percent of who you've seen in Hollywood
that make money. There is a reason that you're seeing
all these superstars selling like shampoos and things. It's because
they actually don't make much money. I remember Rebel Wilson.
We did a podcast episode with her, and I remember
she told us that when she did Bridesmaids, remember that
(09:46):
movie that was like huge number one, she lost money
on it. She got paid three thousand dollars and then
she had to pay her fees to like be a
part of the actor memberships and all of that stuff,
and she ended up losing money.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I think that this is just sell her apartment for
four million dollars or something.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
She's done fine now, but but my poor is And
I'm not protecting Hollywood. I'm absolutely not, like there are
people that are filthy rich. But I think that there's
a misconception that every actor there is making bank because
they're really not. And so it's like, it's a really
scary thing to think that not only are the writers
being replaced. Chat gipt you'll write your script in ten minutes.
(10:25):
So not only a writer's being replaced, producers are being replaced.
Actors have been replaced. Like where's the end? Like when
is there going to be somebody that says, okay, cool,
we've gone too far?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So can you just confirm that we should also we
shouldn't make cartoons because they're not real and move fasting.
Those poor lions right now in Africa they're out of
work right now because of the cartoons.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
They're out of work because they've been poached. Different.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, this is a whole news story.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's different, Okay, so cool, Grace, could you get me different?
Co hosts fulfilling for the rest that Matt had a
one week trial and I think I'm going to can
it and we have the wonderful temporary, semi permanent till
the end of the year. Maddie J feeling you.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It is great to be here, especially because I've had
a question that I've wanted to have answered for a
very long time, and I thought, who else but yourself,
brit to give your opinion.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'm very wise on a little pickle that.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I've found myself in. Okay, okay, let me just say
that giving birth in hospital, if you're not in the
public system, if you go private, it is quite expensive. Britt.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, so do you go private?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
We have gone public the first two times. I love
that you need to caveat that, and each time, as
soon as the babies arrive, we've had one quick night
in the hospital and then we've gone straight home.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And you probably said, I swear if we ever do
this again, We're go in private.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Exactly. So Lauras said, Okay, number three, what I'm going
to do is go private. I'm going to have at
least four maybe I'll stretch it to five nights in
the hospital and really just make the most of those
first few days with my newborn child. Poppy, shout out
to her. A couple of weeks old?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, what's Poppy? Two weeks now?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
A couple of weeks? Who knows, I've lost count. But
my job in the relationship is looking after some of
the ad mint tasks. Yes, okay. Those tasks also include
paying the health insurance.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yes, and my gas bill. But that's another story, right, yeah, yeah,
flow me up.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
But what I have realized, Britt, right before we were
going to be admitted into hospital, Laura had to hand
over the health insurance details. They came back and said,
there's something wrong with that number. It's not coming up
on our system, it turns out. And before I admit this,
let me just say that no one is perfect. We
all make mistakes. But I had forgotten to pay my fees, so.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You had no health insurance.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
So I had no health insurance. We were no longer
covered for the hospital stay which we were booked in for.
Except let me just say one thing. Laura had gone
to the dentist.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Okay, hang on, what the segue is there?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Because she'd gone to the dentist and they had requested
the health insurance details, she didn't hand them over. If
she had of handed over those details, then she would
have known that we didn't have health insurance.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I know Laura very well. Though Laura would have been
in that moment when she's at the dentist and they say,
what do your health do you tell? She would have said,
I don't, I don't even know where to find them.
I don't have my card on me. She would have
left her wallet in the car. I know what she's like,
So it's her fault.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
No, it is her fault.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
It is absolutely not her fault because in that moment
she probably was like, I've got to go pick the
kids up. I don't have time. I'll just pay it.
I just know that she would have done that. She
would have been like, this, it's too hard, basket, let
me pay it, So she would have been not been aware.
It is absolutely if you set this tone and you
said that your job is the admin, there is no
(13:49):
one else to blame for your health insurance lapsing, then
you but you do.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Admit that if Laura had paid attention in that moment
at the checkout with the dentists, she would have known
that we didn't have health insurance.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
This smells like gas lighting.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, when we had the anethetist come through and he
offered the epidural, my first question was how much does
this cost and can we negotiate?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Does she actually need the pain medication?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So I was I was like, Laura, do you want
to just reconsider? As she was getting the needle in
the spine, I was trying to get him off twenty
percent cheaper. You would know I was. I was like,
come on, Allen, So is it Allen?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
What is a what is a no health insurance private
baby host?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Look, we're talking between five and ten thousand dollars depends
on how much extras you have for the stay of
Justiny me. Every time I brought in a meal, I said, no,
thank you, we're in a budget here. Laura Starley just
put two stitches in. No more than that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
She actually don't use nappies either.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah. I did steal a couple of towels make the
story worthwhile. Took a pillow home.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I don't know how you'll steal you were You were
lucky that she's let you back in the house.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
That's why I'm here.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Hey guys, well that is it for us. We're going
to get out of here.

She's still with us. I gave them a lot of grace.
I was like, accidental foot bump. There's no way that
they would intentionally this is obviously my real estate. And
then I think what started as an accident maybe turned
into a bit of viciousness, and then it started to
get a bit. We can started to be playing twotsies,
whereas I think they were pushing back on me. Is
in like back off my seat space.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You were attacked on a plane.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
My foot was attacked on playing by another person's foot.
Lucky we had socks on. There was a skin to
skin that wasn't skin of skin, it was a barrier.
But then I was like, hang on, am I in
the right to be twotsying him back? Like? Can I
fight this fight? Or should I be backing off and
retreating with my twits?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I actually this person may have misinterpreted the situation and
thought that you were trying to flirt.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Shut up. No, he was about sixty. Does that change it?
I love that.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm very sure he was traveling with his wife. There
was a woman next to him. But I was like, no,
this is like I understand that you pay for your seat,
but it's like an unspoken rule that you also with
your seat comes the room in front of you.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I hate to be the better of bad news here,
but I think once you were in a line of
sight of that person who was sitting there, if they
can see your toes wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
See them, and I had compression socks on.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Anyway you can you can see the compression socks. You've
come too far in the wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't think that's correct. I think if we polled
this to the nation, people would be on my side.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Go pull the trigger. Put the pole up.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, great, Grace, can you get the pole up? It's
the pick up with Britt Laura and Maddie Jake.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
She's not here for it. We can't just like white.
She's remove her from every bit of marketing material possible.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Please you watch Matt's going to photo shop his face
onto every picture of Laura on the pickup.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Give me a log in and I'll do it. I've
been looking tight up in your computer trying to figure
out what the password is.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Hey, you'll probably love this, mat because this could be
up your alley for trying to steal Laura's job. Ai.
I want to talk to you about this new actress
that he's taking over Hollywood. I don't know if you've
seen her. Her name is Tillie Norwood. I'm going to
show you a photo of her. She's like super cute
girl next door. Every girl next door like long, luscious
brown hair. Her Instagram is like she's just having coffees
(07:11):
and like doing things with the girls and yogurt and whatever.
And she's just been I believe it was like Can
Film festival. So her manager been there selling her, right,
she's the next big thing in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
So do they just walk around with a tablet being
like this is Tilly? How do they sell her?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
This is the problem. So Tilly is not a real actress,
even though she's like quoted to be the next hot thing.
She's AI So she doesn't exist. And this is getting
a lot of Hollywood off side because imagine you're at
like the biggest film festival and all anyone is talking
about is somebody that doesn't exist. And so what her
(07:47):
agency has said is like we all we have sorry,
we've taken the best of who we think are all
the best actresses to create this one like super actress.
And they've even said like she's the next Scarlet, You're Hansen.
Now the problem is Scarlet your hands and still exists.
She's just in Jurassic Park. She's a brilliant actress. Like
(08:07):
she said, guys haven't died.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I'm still book me for a movie.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, but this is the problem?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Are we at the point where we are going to
be happy as a society to sit back and watch
a film where these people don't even exist, They don't
have real feelings, there's no human connection, Like, how are
they supposed to connect with a TV role or a
movie roll or the character?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Okay, hang on if you're talking about connection Lion King, Okay,
move fusser Right, he's a cartoon. Did I cry? Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yes, I feel you on that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But we've been crying at things that aren't real for
our entire lives.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Break ye, But that's an animal, so it's different. So
imagine what is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
If et all right when he went back home.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Don't start me on aliens because I believe in that
it wasn't real.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Okay, I think we're all getting too worked up over this. Okay,
we need it. Relax.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Do you think there's no problem with it? Do you
know what? Honestly like literally taking everybody's jobs. It'll take
your job. You've only been here ten minutes. As going
to take your job.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I'm backing up Tilly. She's getting a bad rap. People
are getting worked up over nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
And you know what she doesn't care she's a robot.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
But I just think forrit I just think that we
shouldn't be defending these millionaire actors over in Hollywood. They're
going to be fine, honestly.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Do you know what, though, this is interesting segue. A
lot of Hollywood actors don't make that much money. Like
there's about one percent of who you've seen in Hollywood
that make money. There is a reason that you're seeing
all these superstars selling like shampoos and things. It's because
they actually don't make much money. I remember Rebel Wilson.
We did a podcast episode with her, and I remember
she told us that when she did Bridesmaids, remember that
(09:46):
movie that was like huge number one, she lost money
on it. She got paid three thousand dollars and then
she had to pay her fees to like be a
part of the actor memberships and all of that stuff,
and she ended up losing money.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I think that this is just sell her apartment for
four million dollars or something.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
She's done fine now, but but my poor is And
I'm not protecting Hollywood. I'm absolutely not, like there are
people that are filthy rich. But I think that there's
a misconception that every actor there is making bank because
they're really not. And so it's like, it's a really
scary thing to think that not only are the writers
being replaced. Chat gipt you'll write your script in ten minutes.
(10:25):
So not only a writer's being replaced, producers are being replaced.
Actors have been replaced. Like where's the end? Like when
is there going to be somebody that says, okay, cool,
we've gone too far?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So can you just confirm that we should also we
shouldn't make cartoons because they're not real and move fasting.
Those poor lions right now in Africa they're out of
work right now because of the cartoons.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
They're out of work because they've been poached. Different.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, this is a whole news story.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's different, Okay, so cool, Grace, could you get me different?
Co hosts fulfilling for the rest that Matt had a
one week trial and I think I'm going to can
it and we have the wonderful temporary, semi permanent till
the end of the year. Maddie J feeling you.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It is great to be here, especially because I've had
a question that I've wanted to have answered for a
very long time, and I thought, who else but yourself,
brit to give your opinion.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'm very wise on a little pickle that.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I've found myself in. Okay, okay, let me just say
that giving birth in hospital, if you're not in the
public system, if you go private, it is quite expensive. Britt.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, so do you go private?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
We have gone public the first two times. I love
that you need to caveat that, and each time, as
soon as the babies arrive, we've had one quick night
in the hospital and then we've gone straight home.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And you probably said, I swear if we ever do
this again, We're go in private.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Exactly. So Lauras said, Okay, number three, what I'm going
to do is go private. I'm going to have at
least four maybe I'll stretch it to five nights in
the hospital and really just make the most of those
first few days with my newborn child. Poppy, shout out
to her. A couple of weeks old?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, what's Poppy? Two weeks now?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
A couple of weeks? Who knows, I've lost count. But
my job in the relationship is looking after some of
the ad mint tasks. Yes, okay. Those tasks also include
paying the health insurance.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yes, and my gas bill. But that's another story, right, yeah, yeah,
flow me up.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
But what I have realized, Britt, right before we were
going to be admitted into hospital, Laura had to hand
over the health insurance details. They came back and said,
there's something wrong with that number. It's not coming up
on our system, it turns out. And before I admit this,
let me just say that no one is perfect. We
all make mistakes. But I had forgotten to pay my fees, so.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You had no health insurance.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
So I had no health insurance. We were no longer
covered for the hospital stay which we were booked in for.
Except let me just say one thing. Laura had gone
to the dentist.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Okay, hang on, what the segue is there?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Because she'd gone to the dentist and they had requested
the health insurance details, she didn't hand them over. If
she had of handed over those details, then she would
have known that we didn't have health insurance.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I know Laura very well. Though Laura would have been
in that moment when she's at the dentist and they say,
what do your health do you tell? She would have said,
I don't, I don't even know where to find them.
I don't have my card on me. She would have
left her wallet in the car. I know what she's like,
So it's her fault.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
No, it is her fault.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
It is absolutely not her fault because in that moment
she probably was like, I've got to go pick the
kids up. I don't have time. I'll just pay it.
I just know that she would have done that. She
would have been like, this, it's too hard, basket, let
me pay it, So she would have been not been aware.
It is absolutely if you set this tone and you
said that your job is the admin, there is no
(13:49):
one else to blame for your health insurance lapsing, then
you but you do.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Admit that if Laura had paid attention in that moment
at the checkout with the dentists, she would have known
that we didn't have health insurance.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
This smells like gas lighting.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Well, when we had the anethetist come through and he
offered the epidural, my first question was how much does
this cost and can we negotiate?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Does she actually need the pain medication?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So I was I was like, Laura, do you want
to just reconsider? As she was getting the needle in
the spine, I was trying to get him off twenty
percent cheaper. You would know I was. I was like,
come on, Allen, So is it Allen?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
What is a what is a no health insurance private
baby host?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Look, we're talking between five and ten thousand dollars depends
on how much extras you have for the stay of
Justiny me. Every time I brought in a meal, I said, no,
thank you, we're in a budget here. Laura Starley just
put two stitches in. No more than that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
She actually don't use nappies either.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah. I did steal a couple of towels make the
story worthwhile. Took a pillow home.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I don't know how you'll steal you were You were
lucky that she's let you back in the house.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
That's why I'm here.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Hey guys, well that is it for us. We're going
to get out of here.
