  Speaker 1: I got a bone to pick with you people. Yeah, okay,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: just stand by because that's coming. I'm getting the bone
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: ready right now. In the meantime, I also want to say,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: if you're in a business, a state licensed business, maybe
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: even a federally licensed business, to provide a product or
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: service to the public, you ought to be forced to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: do that. I speak of the pharmaceutical industry. For three
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: days now, I've been trying to pick up a scription,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: not a prescription, but a scription, and for three days
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I've pulled up to the window and there's a sign
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that says there's no pharmacist on duty, so we can't
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: dispense prescriptions. Due to state law, if you are a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: pharmacy and you are there to dispense life sustaining drugs,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in some cases, you should have to have pharmacists on duty.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, there's no labor shortage for you. We'd like
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to finish the surgery, but there's no doctor available, so
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we'll just we'll come back maybe tomorrow. If they show
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: up for work and get you closed up and everything,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you're doing something that is necessary. I mean during COVID
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: essential workers were like people flipping burgers at the fast
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: food place. I would say a pharmacist is an essential worker.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: COVID or not. You shouldn't be if you've got a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: state license to be a pharmacy, you should have to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: have backup pharmacists, or you should have the mandatory contracting
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of independent pharmacists. Bring them in ten ninety nine of them.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But people need their descriptions. Man. I've been bouncing around
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to different pharmacies trying to find one that doesn't make
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: me mad, and it's just it has not been going well.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: There are two right now that we go between, depending
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: upon what the prescription or who it's for, and this one,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: these are for me. They had I wanted to switch
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it over to the other one because the other one
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: is not great either, but it's better than them, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I haven't been able to switch them over. I just
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: miss the days when you go down to the corner
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and you know mister Peterson, the pharmacists that have been
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: there for thirty years and knows everything you take and said, hey,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you better watch these are gonna not go well with
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the other thing you're taking or whatever. Though that was great,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and he was always there, always if the place was open,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: he was there. And now due to a staff shortage,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you can't have your medication. That's not right. You ever
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have that problem, Sach, because I know you have a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: couple you take too.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Luckily, No, the only problems I have are my own doing.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So Luckily, I've been pretty lucky.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Of your own doing what You just don't show up,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You don't get there to pick them up.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Like you have a prescription that you can't renew, like
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: by if you have to go through your doctor and
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: then they have to send it. You can't do it
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: through the pharmacy. But I always wait till like Thursday.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: My doctor's always off Friday, so then I'm like, I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: don't have enough for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then get
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: back Monday, like I always do that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But it's my own self doing you know those And
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: this was back in the nineties. We used to get
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: male prescriptions and I don't know that maybe there's something
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that they can't do that with now, but that was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: kind of cool because they would send you a ninety
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: day batch and then like on the eightieth day you
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: would get the next batch. So the you know, the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: mail order prescription place kept you kept you supplied. You
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: didn't have to think about it all the time.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: That makes sense, But I thought you were talking about
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: something else when you said male ordered, I was like,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: are you having male problem? Oh my gosh, No, No.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: These are real prescriptions for real problems. And they're not
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: even problems. They're just you know, stuff I gotta take
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: because I'm old, sure, and it just it, I don't know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: It just really bugs me that this my stuff is
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: minor compared to what if somebody's got like, you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: anti seizure medication or whatever, and they can't go pick
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it up because they can't find a pharmacist to come
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in and work. That's silly. That should not be allowed,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and there should be a mandatory process, like substitute teachers.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: When a teacher doesn't show up, you call the substitute
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: teacher pool and sell them you need somebody, and they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: send a substitute teacher. There should be substitute pharmacists too,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that's an important thing. You cannot not have a staff
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: for something like that. And it probably very profitable to
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: be a substitute pharmacist because they're going to have to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: pay you more short notice and that kind of thing.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You make more of them if you were you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just the regular staff pharmacist in a place. I just I,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's mine. Is not life altering, life sustaining.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It's a convenience thing because I like to feel my fingers.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I can get by without it. I did for many years.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: But if it's if it's something where you know you're
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: really sick, you are really sick, and you've got to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: have your medication and you go to the pharmacy, well
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: we can't dispense drugs. There's no pharmacy on duty three days. No,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that's wrong, absolutely wrong. And I don't have problems like
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: if I'm running out of something with a my chart thing.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: My doctor's really cool. I'm just like, hey, dude, I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: need to refill this one, and he'll type it in
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and send me a message, go okay, send refill. Thanks,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It's no problem. He knows me well enough to know
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing. But yeah, anyway, that I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: really got my go today because I stopped on the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: way in here to I thought middle of the day
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: there should be no problem getting this picked up, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: yet there we were with the problem on Facebook earlier today.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You knew I was gonna go nuts over this. Didn't you.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Here's what I posted. Listen closely to my words. It's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a very short post. I want one name and one
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: name only from you. Think about this in your mind.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Who is the most prominent non white conservative in the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio. Now, some people got it, did what
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I asked, followed the rules. But I don't know. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: haven't counted them all. I don't know if it was
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the majority of people. One person. Let me see, Wally,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I have no idea even what the hell he meant.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: His reply was, can we not with race? Can we not? What?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Can we not? What made no sense? Thomas said, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: could only come up with two. But see, that's see Thomas,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I said one, one name only. Anyway, let me see
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: don While he gave me one name. He did so
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in like a paragraph. Don't get that. Uh, let me
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: see here, Barb one name in a shorter paragraph. Joseph,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who he's talking about. The car
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: guy running for governor. Do you know who the car guy, Casey,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the car guy running for governor? Do you know who
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that is? Because I don't even know who it is. Yeah,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Kurt gave me, uh, gave me uh several names and
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: then apologized because he said he sorry missed the one
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in my original post. I don't know how you missed
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that because it was in the first sentence. But that's okay.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Oh this is silly. Let me see what else say
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he Dondee, who God love you? Dondie? You never make sense,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: he wrote. He wrote a long paragraph as well, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what he's talking about. Angela wanted
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to come on to contradict in a couple of paragraphs
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: everyone who said Vavek let me see here. Laurie wanted
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to come on and uh say that she believes that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Vivek is a Clauset Democrat. Again, the post is very clear.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I want one name and one name only from you.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Think about this in your mind. Who is the most
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: prominent non white conservative in the state of Ohio. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: thought it was pretty simple, Kevin says, Why on earth
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: would that matter? Well, Kevin, because I asked it. That's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: why it matters.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Why does it matter? Why you if you're not going
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to answer it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Why does it matter? Because I asked it? That's why
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Angela comes in again with defined conservative. If we're talking
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: about a true no stop stop stop you define in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: your mind what a conservative is. You define in your
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: mind who the most prominent non white conservative in the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: state of Ohio is. That's the purpose of a question,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: not to get you to question me, but for you
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to answer the question to the best of your ability
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: based on your thoughts on the subject. Chad says the swam,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: which I'm assuming is a Ramaswami reference. Jack thinks, Alisa
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: over at Channel six, I don't even know her politics, man,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: he said. The lady who does the traffic on on
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Channel six, he's pretty conservative. Um, let me see here.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Somebody gave me James Davis, the pastor out of Cleveland.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. I wasn't expecting his name. But
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you guys, the point of this is, sometimes it's easier
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to just answer the question you cannot argue with and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: dissect everything you're doing. Everyone, including yourself, a disservice when
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you do that. And I mean that because you get
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to the point where people go on and then I go,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I go to your pages and I look
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: when somebody posts something that's really ridiculous, I ask for
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you know this, and they give me something, and then
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I go to your page and I look at it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I see you've been a Facebook person since twenty seventeen
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and you have like thirteen friends. There may be a
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: reason for that. I'm just saying, if this is how
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you are with everything this, this could be a personality quirk.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: But if you're not on my Facebook page, I would
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: urge you go go check out some of the comments
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of response. As I got to that today, it was,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: as Spock would say, fascinated. Yeah, why does it matter?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Because I asked that's why it mattered, and people wanted
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to argue, all kind, well, what are we bringing race
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: into this? There's it's not about race. It's about your perception.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: It's about you answering a damn question. Is a it is?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: But instead of answering, you want to find an argument
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: in there somewhere. Sometimes there is no argument, there's just
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: an answer.
