yesterday that is so wild. I just needed to get
it off my chest.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Ladies and gentlemen, we put tim around the clock.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
It's cathartic.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
You just get it out there in the world and
you let it go, all right.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
That's what this is.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
This is actually just free therapy. So if you have
something you just want to rant about for sixty seconds,
can they like either text us or call us? Can
we hear it from other people?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Eight four to four Mojo Live is the phone number
to call eight four four sixty six five six five
four eight or text nine five five zero zero.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Beat it out of the clock.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Dang, what the hell is going on with pharmacies. I
went yesterday to the pharmacy where there was a line
of thirty people and my medication always gets denied by
insurance and I have to go in person and tell
them to fill it. Can't call them, nobody picks up
the phone. You have to go in person and tell
them to fill it. And then I said how long

(01:23):
is it going to take to fill it? She says
twenty minutes. I go okay.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
I sit down.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
An hour and twenty minutes later, I do not get
called back up to the cash register. No, I get
a text and a phone call from the company saying
my order is ready to pick up. I go to
the cash register and say, hey, I'd like to pick
up my order now it's done, and she looks at
me dead in the eyes and goes, no, it's not,
and literally lied to my face. There's a line of
thirty people behind me, and the guy behind me, who

(01:47):
was like eighty seven years old, accused me of cutting
him in line, and I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I was waiting for an hour and twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
And I hate pharmacies.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Wow, I agree.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Reggan Megan in it on the Mojo in the Morning show.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Wow and everything. I'm just living. Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
By the way, it seems like all the pharmacies are
going out of business. What's what's Maybe this is the
reason why I don't know what the story is.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Well, I asked for a note to be put in
my file, and the woman goes, I don't know, I'm
from another pharmacy that closed. I don't know how this
works and.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Walked away from it. Wait, man, was it a pharmacy
that was the same brand or whatever? Like she couldn't
figure that out, like how to do it?

Speaker 3 (02:27):
No, it was she had definitely moved to a new
company because her company had essentially shut down. But then
my favorite part was she announced my medications and then said, oh,
you're the girl from the radio right in front of
all those that way, Hey.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Hip ho. You know what's funny.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
There's one place I do not want to be recognized
as at the pharmacy, Like recognize me if you can
at a bar, you know, a restaurant with a long wait,
you know, I don't.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Know right now, they all take a lunch during the
most INCONDI guess they've got three people working and all
of them take a lunch at the same time. During
lunch break where most people need to pick up their prescriptions.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
The pharmacy texts are not allowed to be in the
pharmacy at the pharmacist is not in there.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
If it's already made, then why can't they just hand
it out the already made pharmacy or prescription to somebody.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Just give it to you.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's already in the package. What's going on, Jessica, Hi,

the time our lines have like twenty people in them,
can't catch up. But with all of the pharmacies just closing,
like a lot of like rideds and like Walgreens are closing.
We the first thing that I worked at, we just
gained like almost fifteen hundred new patients.

But we don't. We are trying. But I do know,
I get that stressful. Can I for patients?

Speaker 1 (05:14):
But can I ask a quick question? Somebody was telling
me that in our company doesn't allow it because our
insurance blows her. But a lot of people say go
to the mom and pop pharmacist, like if you have one,
that those are the best ones to go to.

last one here? What's going on? Matthew?

Speaker 4 (08:13):
All right? First of all, first time a long time. Yeah,
all right. So I hate it when I am I
get a green light and the lane across from me
has a turning arrow and they decide to cut over
in front of me as I'm turning right or going straight.
It's even worse when I'm in a school bus because

(08:34):
I drive a school bus.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh you do wait, hold on. The bus drivers on
with us right now. We've got postal workers, bus drivers
all listening to us, and so people will do that.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
They'll cut you off, like when you got the right away.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeah, when I have the right away to go straight
and their light is a blinking yellow arrow, they decide
that they're going to cut off in front of me
as I'm turning right or going straight through the through
the intersection.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever wanted
to let the kids out at the next light and
have them go up there and pound on their window
or something you wish?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, wouldn't that be great? That would be great.

the postal worker, do you feel better now that you
got that off your chest.
