I'm reminded of a video I saw back during some British Election where they wanted to abolish the NHS or something where some dude went around asking people how much medical procedures cost in America, and people were multiple decimal places too low in some cases. And they still guessed what they thought was way too high.

I don't know how much I pay for insurance but it's still probably cheaper for me to take a flight to another country and pay for an operation than it would be to pay a year's worth of insurance. I haven't even been sick in over a decade so I've only ever been to eye exams, teeth cleanings, and regular checkups. Hell, even my wisdom teeth came in totally fine and aren't a problem so I've probably paid thousands of dollars just in *case* I get sick in the last 10+ years

Dental and eye care are also separate in most insurance if offered at all and lots more expensive

I got a letter from my healthcare provider that they actually weren't going to cover the knee surgery I had gotten two months before because technically, I could still walk. (Then they sent another letter saying nevermind, your orthopedist changed our minds.)

So think of it this way: While it may be true that American healthcare is prohibitively expensive, at least it's also terrible about customer service and incredibly inefficient!

I had surgery a few years ago and was under the impression that the insurance company would cover it. Fast forward a month and I got a bill in the mail for sixty grand. I was lucky I was able to straighten it out in only two phone calls, otherwise I’d be in deep, deep poo poo.

It's so easy to get most Americans to vote against their own self interests by just hinting that someone else is taking advantage of it.

"Free healthcare? Well, somewhere, someone who isn't sick is going to the doctor, and YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT."

*Americans race to the polls to vote NO on Universal Healthcare*

I still can't get over his Influencer Voice, but I will admit he's very good at keeping the energy going throughout the show. Bryan has a habit of hyperfocusing and killing the momentum.

Zarian is just a typical podcast guy but with connections in wrestling. His Mat Men cohost is way worse. Bryan has a much more fun personality.

I know this is a weird complaint but I like the live radio feel of the normal WOLs and the new Sunday guys feel way more like they’re hosting a rambly podcast. The way it’s… directed??? doesn’t sound like live radio

Getting back into wrestling (sort of) and I liked a lot of the Bryan & Vinny & Craig and Bryan & (bearded guy who is in some sort of control room?) segments I found on youtube.

I shouldn't expect to find much free content on their site yea? Eps from the 00s and 10s are usually subscriber-only right?

Has Meltzer always taken 20 minutes to express 1 minute of concrete thought/analysis?

And what happened to other folks from F4W and WO, like Wade Keller? I used to print out (lol) his write-ups of Raw/Nitro/etc and read them on the bus wayyy back around 2000.
