  • Product placement👎🏼

    I just listened to the home security episode and was put off by the increasing product placement throughout the show. The episode starts with an ad for a specific home security company, fine, gotta make money, I can skip it if I really care, may lend slight bias but I’ll keep an ear out for that. But then the same company gets worked into the script, a study that shows how effective it is is mentioned without reference to the sponsorship by the same company, the name is dropped a few more times ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Medical Bills for Grown-Ups
Q: Is it possible to negotiate medical bills, and how would someone start?
Yes. Begin with the hospital billing office for an itemized bill, request prices for all payers and the cash price, and consider escalating to the hospital CEO or insurer if necessary to resolve unfair charges.
Medical Bills for Grown-Ups
Q: What should a person look for first on a medical bill?
Start with an itemized bill showing every procedure and code, then compare against what your insurance paid and what your plan would owe; beware of double billing and charges that don't match the care received.
Medical Bills for Grown-Ups
Q: Can you explain what happens between leaving a doctor's office and receiving a bill?
Prices aren't always upfront; hospitals and insurers may encode services in complex ways, but prices should be transparent, and the bill should reflect the negotiated amounts and what was actually provided.
Investing for Grown-Ups
Q: How should a listener approach risk and spend time in the market?
Assess risk tolerance as a function of timeline and personality, but avoid panicking during downturns; stay invested through crashes to participate in recoveries, and use time in the market to your advantage rather than trying to time peaks and troughs.
Investing for Grown-Ups
Q: What should a beginner do first to start investing?
Open a brokerage account, preferably fund it with tax-advantaged accounts first (like a Roth IRA or 401(k)), and set up automated recurring investments in a simple two-to-three index-fund portfolio to keep fees low.
