we process patient samples (blood, sputum, stool, urine, csf, tissue, etc) for rapid testing, PCR testing and cultures to grow overnight for identification of bacteria and fungus

Don't those need to grow for two weeks? Or is it different in human medicine where you get better equipment that speeds up the growth process?

I've been the expert on a subject before and have been rejected from flexing that expertise before -- lost a potential theatre-job I still think I could have rocked. It happened though because I was a total unapologetic a****** to some of my friends, and it sucked -- one of the most embarrassing things I've dealt with as an adult. I really thought I was fighting the good fight, too. I was an a******, but I was one with reasoning behind me!

I did something that helped though: I stopped being an unapologetic a******. I removed myself too for a bit, but that's probably more optional. Now I'm staying the night and traveling with those old friends again for work, and we introduce each other to our other friends too. It took years and some proof of decency on my behalf over time because I betrayed my friend's expectations for respect, but things are very good again.

I say all that to highlight my point for Ulti: your expertise and knowledge may not be the reasons you've not been invited back. If being on the podcast matters to you, please understand that. Take what yo said and try not to respond bitterly about how funny you are on other people's shows like you'll make him jealous. Take what I challenged you on two months ago about your announced intentions for disruption and don't flip it into political smearing -- it's why I've blocked you since then until things get better (longterm). It sucks because we collectively have some sincere love for you, but none of this information is new to you either. You've been told before.

We know you provide some enjoyable content. Please understand why more people are finding it not worth it lately, and therefore understand why your example with Leonhart doesn't mirror your situation. Like...look at what all you added in your post between edits on post #43. You've lost restraint on how to treat other people, and it's hard to watch an old friend keep struggling to grasp that.

I wasn't acting like this in 2011 though, and I have a really hard time imagining you treating anyone like s***; NG has been acting like a douche toward me since all the way back then for reasons I legitimately don't get. It's his show, whatever, but if someone mans up and asks you what's up then you grow a set and say what's up. It's just basic levels of respect. If this was some new thing sure, but it's not.

As for Trump, I could be the nicest guy on Board 8 and people would assume I'm some dick because of who I voted for, which is completely insane. Go to a Trump rally some time. The 63 million people that voted for him are hardly some giant group of bad people, but the people who literally attack us on a daily basis most certainly are. Hell you live in Tennessee, which is total red country. Would you honestly say we're bad people?

But still, thanks for that post. Outside of "don't be a conservative and/or don't post in political topics", do you have any ideas? I'm really not a bad guy and it blows that everyone thinks I am.
