episode and you won't miss anything. All right, Thanks enjoying
the show. If we've got a new command for your
smart speaker, and it's really easy, just ask it to
play one O three to one Austin. It's the JV
(00:21):
and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty station one O three
point one. If you're just joining us Stephen Presley as
our guest. He joins us every Friday to talk Hollywood.
Follow him on Instagram at under pop tv, same thing
on YouTube. Earlier, he told us Little House on the
Prairie is getting a Netflix reboot and that the Minecraft
(00:41):
movie runs the risk of killing the vibe, killing the
street cred of the actual game. Now let's talk. Since
we've talked about Netflix and Little House on the Prairie,
let's talk a little bit about the price increases. I
mean it's pretty significant increase in different tears. Have you
seen this? JB.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah heard, No, I did, I did see Uh I
got I think I got a money alert. What is
that rocket money rocking money alert that that was going up?
And then they'll let you know if you they can
go dispute it for you, which is nice, but I
was wondering what the deal was with that.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
What's the social media saying Steven.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Yeah, people are you know, there's some mixed reviews, but
mostly people are upset. But one one woman said it's
still cheaper than cable, so get a grip.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
She's telling people to. Also, this is the best one.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Chai said, Cobra Kai never dies, but my subscription will
after next month.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh yeah, it's tough. You can't look at it just
as one thing. You're not replacing one thing. In this
modern world, you have to have six subscriptions to get
all the shows you want, and everyone's got subscription fatigue.
It's you're not the main player. It's not it's not
like you're the days of bidding making a decision between
(01:55):
Direct TV and Time Warner Cable, right right, Yeah, it's
not like that at all, all this oli cart stuff.
You know, periodically I just go in and cancel it
just to see what my wife and daughter are watching
or not watching.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That's smart.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And then when they go Hey, what happened to HBO Max?
I go, oh, let me, let me check and I
go start sign it back up.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
You know, it's pretty good stuff and it's free, but
it's full of ads. But tob have you guys watched
to be a lot of good programming on that? I
mean the programming, Uh, probably not. It's all old stuff that, yeah,
but it's things I'm interested in.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But it's the old model of get it for free
and watch the ads.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah that's yeah, and some stuff I just like, I'm
going to look at my phone during the ads anyway.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Yeah, No problem is that it's always a price hike.
I feel like we've just had one six months ago.
I feel like it's not like every year eighteen months,
it's multiple times. And then when you have multiple streamers
that you have a subscription to, it's just constant notification.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
That's your more.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Eventually, if not already, you're paying more for all of
your subscriptions.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
An you work for cable and start that up.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, it does. And somehow some way Netflix manages to
lose money at this.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
You know what I mean is that what they're saying
is why they're hiking their subscriptions prices because they lose money.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Got to be the reason. I mean a bit of
a turnaround. But I'm just looking at something that searched
real quick. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
My hunch is is they're all trying to keep up
with the Joneses, and there's you know, there's arms race,
and now they all want in on the NFL and
live sports. Well that's yeah, to compete with with you
know things like you know, Time Warner, Cable or now
Spectrum and you know cable that has that live sports component.
So that's costing them money to get you know, that
(03:50):
one that whether they broadcast two games on Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Or one game, they paid beyond.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
They did that big Beyonce concert, which I'm sure costs
a lot of money too. So they're spending on things
like that to try to keep up with the Joneses.
And that's why I think subscriptions right now are going on.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh, in twenty twenty three, their CEO did take a
pay dip to forty nine point eight million.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He's all right, yeah, I'm gonna set up a go
fund me for it.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Were God, yeah got out.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Meanwhile, if the Mike Tyson fight his indiandication, I don't
think Cable has anything to worry about. I think they're
going to be able to keep the live events because
that was a disaster.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, that was Yeah, it was uh Harrison Ford really yeah,
I can says why. That's the perfect answer for what
Harrison Ford's what Steven's going to tell you, Harrison Ford's
going to do? Go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
My first thought, you know, he's in his early eighties
is eighty two.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That's what I looked up this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I thought he was in his seventies. He's actually in
the early eighties. It looks like, Yeah, I thought he
was about done after he came back and did that
one more Indiana Jones, one more Star Wars, not that
he wasn't in great shape or anything and could could
still keep going, but I felt like, you know, he
kind of like, you know, it's kind of like done
with it it. But my theory why he keeps working
is to keep him out of trouble, because he kept
(05:05):
getting in those plane crashes, his plane around and I
think I think Alan mcbeil's wife was a Calissa Flockhart.
I think his wife is like, you're going back out
to work to keep you had trouble that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
My theory was he just wants to keep working because
he's marrying a young woman is just driving him crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, it's kind of like the old rock bands that
go out on tour, like Bruce Springsteen and the East
Street Band went back out on tour because they wanted
to get away from their wife and family. That's why
they wanted to hang out with their bros for a
while and just be dudes instead of being told wipe
the toilet seat when you're done, do you know what
I mean? Yeah, that's what they wanted. So that problem.
(05:43):
But he's going to be the Hulk, right, He's going.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
To be a verst He's going to be a version
of the Hulk, which was in the comic books. Is
the Red Hulk? He plays actually the President of the
United States in this new Captain American movie that becomes
the Red Hulk. But I'm thinking, like an eighty year
old guy morphing metamorphosing into the Hulk is not can't
be good on your heart?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
And is it an old Hulk? Is it an eighty
year old Hulk too? What does he look like like?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
How's that that's what he looks like? Probably? Yeah, right, Steven?
What does your shirt say your microphone's covering up your shirt?
What's it say?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah, this is the inside joke.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Killers out Post, Miller's Outposts, Miller's Outpost.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So we live so my neighborhood, my cul de Sac.
We live behind a shopping center in the crispy neighborhood,
and there's always new stuff going in this shopping center.
The anchor is the Taco Deli and the T twenty two,
but there's always new stuff going in there, and there's something,
you know, there's something new coming in. We get on
a text thread with me and the people in the
cul de Second. We're all kind of speculating what's coming
(06:43):
in next, like what do we get in the shopping center?
And so I made a joke with my one of
my neighbors, my neighbor Bob.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It's a real funny guy. I said, maybe we're going
to get a Mervyn's Miller's out Post.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I hope.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
See.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
He didn't think it was.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Funny, and I was like, that's funny.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, So now I'm trolling him and I found it
a Miller's Outpost T shirt on Prime.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So what is it? I don't I'm not familiar with
the Miller's Outpost. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Oh, it was great, did you know, JB. Just know
Miller's Outpost.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Yeah, I remember the name. It's like a department store
kind of thing, right, my.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Favorite store in the early nineties, late eighties. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Our local Austin historian here, Tricia okay.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
All right, yeah, yeah, it was like a Mervin's.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
They had it over near Anderson one eighty three, kind
of near the uh that that area, and it was
Now there's a Planet Fitness in there and I don't
know what else, like a hobby lobby's in that shopping
center now, but that was the Miller's Outpost Mervins, and
that was the hot.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Spot from back to school shopping for me.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Oh all right, yeah, I think Murvins would have been
a lot more successful if its name wasn't Mervin's. It's
also like when the department store that was big that
all the kids to shop out Wieners because it was
embarrassing because of the name. Name is important for your
place of business.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Dick Sporting Goods has worked out for him. What about it?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
I know, but that's a little bit more man. You
know what I mean, Wiers.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Miller's Outposts is now known as Anchor Blue. The company
filed for minkruptcy in two thousand and nine, closed all
its stores in twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Wow, I don't remember a T shirt though. That's funny.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Let's get a Mervin's T shirt.
Speaker 4 (08:33):

It's the JV and Sandy Show. It's Austin Davies Station,
one of three point one. Breakups are harder on men
than they are for women. But Tricia is just delighted
(09:54):
to tell everybody why that is. Because I don't know.
In my mind, I would just think, I guess they
would be harder on girls. I don't know. But tell
everybody why they're harder on men.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
The reason that they're harder on men is not because
if his girl leaves them, he's heartbroken and he's sad
and he's emotional. It's because in most relationships, girls take
care of all the details of everyday life.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
So it's harder for guys because.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
When she leaves, they don't know where anything is, or
passwords to get into accounts or anything like that. It's
more difficult like in reality, not difficult emotionally for them
to to get over it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I kind of gotta agree.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That, right, Yeah, it's the opposite at our house. Oh really,
I handle everything I wish I didn't have to. Yeah
really And yeah, and she's the one with with a
major in economics. I kind of was hoping she'd take
over all this crap.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, I'll tell you this. If it wasn't or Tricia,
I wouldn't have the faintest idea anything to do with
health insurance, right nothing. Tricia just does it, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Okay, it so much.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know where to start
with a health and try. I know. I get this
low plastic card that Tricia gives me and tells and
looks me in the eye every time and goes, put
that in your wallet. I go, look at me, lose it?
Speaker 6 (11:27):
Take this? Do you watch you put it in your
wallet right now?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Gone, take a picture of it and put it in
your phone too, because you're going to need this. It's
funny somehow I always managed when I do go to
the doctor, give him the wrong card yep.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
And then he calls me and says, will you take
a picture of your card and send it to me, please.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Right.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Meanwhile, Nate Bergatsi and his stand up.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
He talks about how his wife's the gatekeeper, and he's like,
I can't get any money without asking her. I don't
know where anythings he goes. So some days I just
walk around to local banks and go, is my money
in here?
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Do you guys have my money?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Like he's trying to find it his wife.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I do, guys. I'm not gonna name names, but I
know guys that still just get an allowance from their wife.
This is how much they She pays all the bills,
does all the things. But this is how much money
you get to spend for two weeks. Is what I need?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
But actually both of us need that.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, yeah, So that's an interesting question, JB. At what point,
what dollar amount or is there a dollar amount that
you have to you feel obligated to let your wife
know you're making a purchase, Like for me, if I'm
going to spend more than five hundred dollars, I'm gonna
plutricia in on it. Do you guys have anything like that?
(12:42):
Are you just out there just wow?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
No?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
No, any big purchases are a dark deep secret.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And then I go through all the accounts, so I'll
see it and I'll go and she'll be like like
she knows that tone, yeah, like what was this? And
then she just gets all apologetic and squirrels away with
his shoulders slumped out.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's funny, but sometimes you got to take the take
the reins on things. Chris's pretty much handles money in
our house now.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Yeah, money and health insurance the worst.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I do. Make Sandy deal with her taxes, though, I'll
make health insurance over taxes any day, any.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
But taxes are only like for a short time in
the year. Health insurance is all year long. The health
insurance company, yeah, I mean just.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Oh, I don't mind picking up the phone and lighten
somebody yet, because those health insurance companies are Yeah, I
have to do it.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I'm battling with them right now over one hundred dollars
that they owe me. And it's just one hundred dollars
in the amount of time I've spent on the phone
with them. Probably I should let it go, but I'm
digging in and I'm like, no, it's it's just the
print of it. Now, you owe me one hundred dollars
and I want it. It's like that guy give me
my two dollars in that movie.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You think it's in the training manual to tell them,
make it hard, make it difficult, make them just tell
them no the first time, and see if they call
a ball.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I fully think that's the policy of most health insurances.
Just bill them and see if they'll pay it without
say anything, because most people won't.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
One thing that I do. Sometimes, you know, at the beginning,
they'll say this call will be recorded for accuracy, blah
blah blah. So of course you never get it handled
with the first customer service rep you talk to. You
always end up talking to a second and a third
different phone calls, different days, and I will go, nope,
you guys told me that you were recording my last conversation,
so I will hold while you pulled that conversation up
(14:44):
my face. And they're like, well man, and I'm like, oh, no, no, no,
it says what I'm saying. I meanwhile, they probably didn't
record it at all. But that has worked a couple
of times where they're just like, God, give this check
her money and get her off the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well, just tell them right back. I'm recording, Yeah, freaking out. Well,
don't do that app. You can do it during your call.
You can record your calls that app owl it's a
no taking app. That's an AI note taking summary, but
it'll record a call pretty easily.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
iPhone feature, that's true.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
I think it's filled under the iPhone now yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Right, but yours will write up a summary, right, yeah, yeah,
that was funny, dude. We had a meeting last week
and Jamie and I were chatting after the meeting and
then I said to JB Sorr, I got to go
because I have to have this exact same recap conversation
with Tricia, and JB's like, oh man, I should have
(15:38):
recorded the conversation. Then what does it do print out
a summary? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
I started doing that with my wife.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
She wants to know how every call I have went
there a meeting, So I just go. I just email
her the summary.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Then let me get She still has questions, right, because
yes I did.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
She goes through the summary with a red pen. I
think she wants to as out I'm crazy.

it's full of ads. But tob have you guys watched

Yeah, that was Yeah, it was uh Harrison Ford really yeah,
I can says why. That's the perfect answer for what
Harrison Ford's what Steven's going to tell you, Harrison Ford's
going to do? Go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
My first thought, you know, he's in his early eighties
is eighty two.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That's what I looked up this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I thought he was in his seventies. He's actually in
the early eighties. It looks like, Yeah, I thought he
was about done after he came back and did that
one more Indiana Jones, one more Star Wars, not that
he wasn't in great shape or anything and could could
still keep going, but I felt like, you know, he
kind of like, you know, it's kind of like done
with it it. But my theory why he keeps working
is to keep him out of trouble, because he kept
(05:05):
getting in those plane crashes, his plane around and I
think I think Alan mcbeil's wife was a Calissa Flockhart.
I think his wife is like, you're going back out
to work to keep you had trouble that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
My theory was he just wants to keep working because
he's marrying a young woman is just driving him crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, it's kind of like the old rock bands that
go out on tour, like Bruce Springsteen and the East
Street Band went back out on tour because they wanted
to get away from their wife and family. That's why
they wanted to hang out with their bros for a
while and just be dudes instead of being told wipe
the toilet seat when you're done, do you know what
I mean? Yeah, that's what they wanted. So that problem.
(05:43):
But he's going to be the Hulk, right, He's going.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
To be a verst He's going to be a version
of the Hulk, which was in the comic books. Is
the Red Hulk? He plays actually the President of the
United States in this new Captain American movie that becomes
the Red Hulk. But I'm thinking, like an eighty year
old guy morphing metamorphosing into the Hulk is not can't
be good on your heart?
Speaker 6 (06:02):
And is it an old Hulk? Is it an eighty
year old Hulk too? What does he look like like?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
How's that that's what he looks like? Probably? Yeah, right, Steven?
What does your shirt say your microphone's covering up your shirt?
What's it say?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah, this is the inside joke.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Killers out Post, Miller's Outposts, Miller's Outpost.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So we live so my neighborhood, my cul de Sac.
We live behind a shopping center in the crispy neighborhood,
and there's always new stuff going in this shopping center.
The anchor is the Taco Deli and the T twenty two,
but there's always new stuff going in there, and there's something,
you know, there's something new coming in. We get on
a text thread with me and the people in the
cul de Second. We're all kind of speculating what's coming
(06:43):
in next, like what do we get in the shopping center?
And so I made a joke with my one of
my neighbors, my neighbor Bob.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It's a real funny guy. I said, maybe we're going
to get a Mervyn's Miller's out Post.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I hope.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
See.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
He didn't think it was.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Funny, and I was like, that's funny.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, So now I'm trolling him and I found it
a Miller's Outpost T shirt on Prime.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So what is it? I don't I'm not familiar with
the Miller's Outpost. I don't know what that is.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Oh, it was great, did you know, JB. Just know
Miller's Outpost.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Yeah, I remember the name. It's like a department store
kind of thing, right, my.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Favorite store in the early nineties, late eighties. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Our local Austin historian here, Tricia okay.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
All right, yeah, yeah, it was like a Mervin's.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
They had it over near Anderson one eighty three, kind
of near the uh that that area, and it was
Now there's a Planet Fitness in there and I don't
know what else, like a hobby lobby's in that shopping
center now, but that was the Miller's Outpost Mervins, and
that was the hot.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Spot from back to school shopping for me.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Oh all right, yeah, I think Murvins would have been
a lot more successful if its name wasn't Mervin's. It's
also like when the department store that was big that
all the kids to shop out Wieners because it was
embarrassing because of the name. Name is important for your
place of business.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Dick Sporting Goods has worked out for him. What about it?
Speaker 6 (08:10):
I know, but that's a little bit more man. You
know what I mean, Wiers.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Miller's Outposts is now known as Anchor Blue. The company
filed for minkruptcy in two thousand and nine, closed all
its stores in twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Wow, I don't remember a T shirt though. That's funny.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Let's get a Mervin's T shirt.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Pick it up another.

It's the JV and Sandy Show. It's Austin Davies Station,
one of three point one. Breakups are harder on men
than they are for women. But Tricia is just delighted
(09:54):
to tell everybody why that is. Because I don't know.
In my mind, I would just think, I guess they
would be harder on girls. I don't know. But tell
everybody why they're harder on men.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
The reason that they're harder on men is not because
if his girl leaves them, he's heartbroken and he's sad
and he's emotional. It's because in most relationships, girls take
care of all the details of everyday life.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
So it's harder for guys because.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
When she leaves, they don't know where anything is, or
passwords to get into accounts or anything like that. It's
more difficult like in reality, not difficult emotionally for them
to to get over it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I kind of gotta agree.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That, right, Yeah, it's the opposite at our house. Oh really,
I handle everything I wish I didn't have to. Yeah
really And yeah, and she's the one with with a
major in economics. I kind of was hoping she'd take
over all this crap.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, I'll tell you this. If it wasn't or Tricia,
I wouldn't have the faintest idea anything to do with
health insurance, right nothing. Tricia just does it, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Okay, it so much.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know where to start
with a health and try. I know. I get this
low plastic card that Tricia gives me and tells and
looks me in the eye every time and goes, put
that in your wallet. I go, look at me, lose it?
Speaker 6 (11:27):
Take this? Do you watch you put it in your
wallet right now?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Gone, take a picture of it and put it in
your phone too, because you're going to need this. It's
funny somehow I always managed when I do go to
the doctor, give him the wrong card yep.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
And then he calls me and says, will you take
a picture of your card and send it to me, please.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Right.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Meanwhile, Nate Bergatsi and his stand up.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
He talks about how his wife's the gatekeeper, and he's like,
I can't get any money without asking her. I don't
know where anythings he goes. So some days I just
walk around to local banks and go, is my money
in here?
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Do you guys have my money?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Like he's trying to find it his wife.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I do, guys. I'm not gonna name names, but I
know guys that still just get an allowance from their wife.
This is how much they She pays all the bills,
does all the things. But this is how much money
you get to spend for two weeks. Is what I need?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
But actually both of us need that.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, yeah, So that's an interesting question, JB. At what point,
what dollar amount or is there a dollar amount that
you have to you feel obligated to let your wife
know you're making a purchase, Like for me, if I'm
going to spend more than five hundred dollars, I'm gonna
plutricia in on it. Do you guys have anything like that?
(12:42):
Are you just out there just wow?
Speaker 5 (12:43):
No?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
No, any big purchases are a dark deep secret.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And then I go through all the accounts, so I'll
see it and I'll go and she'll be like like
she knows that tone, yeah, like what was this? And
then she just gets all apologetic and squirrels away with
his shoulders slumped out.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's funny, but sometimes you got to take the take
the reins on things. Chris's pretty much handles money in
our house now.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Yeah, money and health insurance the worst.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
I do. Make Sandy deal with her taxes, though, I'll
make health insurance over taxes any day, any.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
But taxes are only like for a short time in
the year. Health insurance is all year long. The health
insurance company, yeah, I mean just.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Oh, I don't mind picking up the phone and lighten
somebody yet, because those health insurance companies are Yeah, I
have to do it.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I'm battling with them right now over one hundred dollars
that they owe me. And it's just one hundred dollars
in the amount of time I've spent on the phone
with them. Probably I should let it go, but I'm
digging in and I'm like, no, it's it's just the
print of it. Now, you owe me one hundred dollars
and I want it. It's like that guy give me
my two dollars in that movie.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You think it's in the training manual to tell them,
make it hard, make it difficult, make them just tell
them no the first time, and see if they call
a ball.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I fully think that's the policy of most health insurances.
Just bill them and see if they'll pay it without
say anything, because most people won't.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
One thing that I do. Sometimes, you know, at the beginning,
they'll say this call will be recorded for accuracy, blah
blah blah. So of course you never get it handled
with the first customer service rep you talk to. You
always end up talking to a second and a third
different phone calls, different days, and I will go, nope,
you guys told me that you were recording my last conversation,
so I will hold while you pulled that conversation up
(14:44):
my face. And they're like, well man, and I'm like, oh, no, no, no,
it says what I'm saying. I meanwhile, they probably didn't
record it at all. But that has worked a couple
of times where they're just like, God, give this check
her money and get her off the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well, just tell them right back. I'm recording, Yeah, freaking out. Well,
don't do that app. You can do it during your call.
You can record your calls that app owl it's a
no taking app. That's an AI note taking summary, but
it'll record a call pretty easily.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
iPhone feature, that's true.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
I think it's filled under the iPhone now yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Right, but yours will write up a summary, right, yeah, yeah,
that was funny, dude. We had a meeting last week
and Jamie and I were chatting after the meeting and
then I said to JB Sorr, I got to go
because I have to have this exact same recap conversation
with Tricia, and JB's like, oh man, I should have
(15:38):
recorded the conversation. Then what does it do print out
a summary? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:43):
I started doing that with my wife.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
She wants to know how every call I have went
there a meeting, So I just go. I just email
her the summary.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Then let me get She still has questions, right, because
yes I did.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
She goes through the summary with a red pen. I
think she wants to as out I'm crazy.
