Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
fifteen minute morning show.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
All right, we didn't finish this. Let's finish it right, Okay,
what did you get written up for?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Who's starting?
Speaker 5 (00:23):
Is everyone not written up at some point? Right all
of us?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Let's go alphabetically. We'll start with the last names Booth.
Speaker 6 (00:28):
Oh. Okay.
Speaker 7 (00:30):
It was nineteen ninety five summertime here at Z one hundred,
New York, and I was driving the big giant urban
assault vehicle Hummer for the very first time, coming back
from the Hamptons at about two o'clock in the morning,
and I smacked the side of the Midtown Tunnel and
I scraped up the side of the Hummer and I
got in trouble. That was because I was still very
(00:51):
very fresh. I was new at that point, so I
guess I was still on probation or whatever. So I
got written up and I had to sign a thing
that I damaged a vehicle whatever. But that was the
last time that ever happened to me at first first
ever in my life in life.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Wow, Yeah, that's not bad.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
I don't think any of them are really that bad.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, okay, they're just stupid.
Speaker 8 (01:09):
And then I would have even pissed that they wrote
me because it was an accident. That wasn't something you
did on purpose.
Speaker 7 (01:14):
Yeah, but I was I was new, so I probably,
you know, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (01:17):
Maybe I was the person that wrote you up.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Maybe they were just a dick hole.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
I believe his name was Matt.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Was he a dick hole?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
He just wanted to write somebody up.
Speaker 9 (01:24):
It's possible. Oh no, it was. It was Jeff.
Speaker 7 (01:26):
Remember that scary Remember Jeff Jordan?
Speaker 9 (01:28):
Oh I remember that guy.
Speaker 7 (01:29):
It was him.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah, he sounded like you should belonged to a boy band. Yes,
with the name like Jeff Jordan.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
But I'm guessing I'm guessing that's been expunged by now right.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I don't think that's what we're talking about. Do they
get expunged?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So I'm imagining there's this file cabinet right with Manila
folder that says Scott B. And there's like this yellowing
piece of paper on their signature saying you damaged it.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
There's no way any there's no way any of that
stuff made it from Secaucus, New Jersey to Hear back
when it was paper days into digital. So I think I'm.
Speaker 10 (02:00):
Good Scottia knowing how they transferred papers downstairs in that
area where all the stuff that no one has claimed yet.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
I think you're good.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
They didn't even have my start date, right, That's how
screwed up all their files were. I had to go
on my attic and find a pay stuff from nineteen
ninety five to prove that I started in nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
No, you got written up the year you started.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
That's right, Wow, Okay, good, Okay.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
So I can't say the names of the client, Okay,
but it was when I was in Boston and the
guy that I was working with the show I was
working with at that time, he used to love to
play this one sound clip about the client and a
product that got the blood stains out of your underwear.
If you use this client had bloodstains in your underwear.
(02:43):
So basically it was like, imagine it's a food brand
and the food makes you shit yourself, but you shit blood.
So there was a client, yeah, yeah, well no, No,
the client was upset because we used to play a
little jingle like blah blah blah away takes the blood
out of your underwear. So it was really funny and
he would played all the time. Well, I guess that
(03:03):
client had like a really big by that year, So
they said.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Don't play that sound anymore. You can't do that.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Of course, when he hears that, he's like, I'm gonna
play it twenty times.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
So he played it again the next day.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
And then I got written up because I should have
deleted this sound from the system, and I didn't delete it.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I told, yeah, I mean they had to get someone's ass.
Speaker 9 (03:25):
For it, right, your scapegoat.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Well, so, by the way, if I were ship blood
on my underwear, I'm throwing the underwear out, saying scotty.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
With the logic.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yeah, but here's the thing, even if I had deleted it,
the way that that show ran, the guy who would
pull sound was so fast that he would have just
pulled it in two seconds as soon as this person
asked for it.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Anyway, So I mean, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I got written up for it.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I rejected the write up. I said, I do not
accept and I don't know where that ever went.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
That's so crazy.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, yeah, I got in trouble for that one. That
was really funny.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Shit.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Radio station one wasn't my fault. I don't remember what
it was, but it was something another.
Speaker 9 (04:04):
We'revering it doesn't.
Speaker 8 (04:07):
It was that it was like another host's job or problem,
and I was booking the guests and I was kind
of producing, and so it came back to me, and
so I got written up for it.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
At the time, I don't remember what it was.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
All I know is someone else got in trouble, but
because I was producing, I was responsible.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Which is like, that's how it always goes, right.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
The producer catches all the strays, right, because you're the
intermediary between what the bad person did and people trans
stopped it.
Speaker 8 (04:35):
You should have stopped That's what it was.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Basically. You know, they said that to you, you should
have stopped it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
But is when they tell the producer you are the
boss in the room, the.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Boss always says, well, your name's on the show anyway.
But when I worked at McDonald's, I got written up
for hitting another employee because she came at me first,
so I went back at her. It was very light
like hitting whatever. It was so stupid. She was mad
that I was. She was dating the guy I used
to date and I called him a mama's boy, and
(05:11):
she got insulted and whatever. So anyway, after that, I
quit and then they said, well, we would have fired
you anyway.
Speaker 11 (05:18):
Great, Okay, did that fight happen like behind the counter
or in the breakroom downstairs?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Was it open hands or close fist?
Speaker 8 (05:24):
She no, it was open. She like smacked me like
I was like, what the what? And I smacked her back.
They did, But the problem is is they didn't see
her first. They saw me, and right if they'd come
down one second sooner, they would have seen that she
started the whole fucking thing. But that's not what happened anyway.
Speaker 9 (05:41):
Yeah, I think I went the wrong order. Okay, okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I got written up twice in one year here at
the station. Yep, okay, so uh so the first one,
ah man, you know, uh, when we do phone taps,
we have to pretend we're other businesses sometimes to make.
Speaker 9 (05:59):
To make it even real.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
So I guess we misrepresented a business because we left
it in on the air and the business hurt and
like this is you're not from us anyway. They they
caused a whole ship storm. And then so I found
myself in Tom Pullman's office being written up because I
had to make a promise that that anytime we say
(06:22):
we were from a business, we would have to reverse
it edited out or.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
If it's a fictitious business, it's okay. But so that
was the one that was one time.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I know it's kind of boring whatever, but but it's like, hello,
my job is to make prank phone calls and just
get them anyway they can get got. It was no,
it was actual, like you know, like a Fortune five
hundred company that I said I was from, but but you.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Know people from Amazon.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
It was like one of those. Yeah, it was. It
was quite yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
And then the other time, the second time was also
involving a client.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
When the client it was.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
In the day of when Twitter was new and I
didn't understand the power of Twitter.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
I remember that one and I was angry.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
As all hell because I was I was actually doing
jury duty and I went to McDonald's for lunch. I
could say it now and it's part of it's part
of the punchline, and I said, I want I want
to shake. I want to shake, And of course, what's
the what's the McDonald's thing?
Speaker 9 (07:22):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
It's broken? That's like the joke, right, Yeah, it was broken.
So I'm like, huh, I'm gonna tweet this at them.
So I wrote up no surprise, go in for a
chocolate shake, and it's broken butt up, up up, I'm
hating it.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
While he's doing commercials for McDonald's on the air. Well, no,
and so.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
Listen. Lesson learned it was long ago, was far away.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It was all I could tell you is did not
realize at the time because Twitter was so new, that
McDonald's would see it respond and threaten to pull their budget.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I had a nice talking to from several parties at
the time, and I got written up for it.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
And uh, you know, I learned my lesson. It was
so long.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Ago though, you know, we would never do that today.
But then again, the technology was new and I didn't
know it. All I was doing was finally a complain
and make fun.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
That was a fantastic punchline. So yeah, but so yeah,
we don't. I mean, that's silly. And then it's water
under the bridge. You know. We we made up shook
hands a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
We I had laughs and laughs and laughs with h
with you know, with our clients about it, and yeah,
so it's sometimes you could look back and laugh.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Yeah, well we're laughing now.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Yeah, that's actually really funny.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Okay, Garrett, we're gonna end on you. Well, I got
written up at the at.
Speaker 10 (08:47):
I was a lifeguard before I started working here, so
lifeguards would switch off with the snack bar guys so
they can get their fifteen minute break. So I was
in charge of the snack bar. I thought where we worked,
everybody had a tab. So the amount of food I
gave away in fifteen minute increments was insane to the
point where these people that's you know, it made some
extra money. So I probably gave away about four hundred
(09:10):
dollars worth of hot dogs and pretzels and hamburgers over
the course of like a month where that was written up.
So yeah, that that was a that was a writable
up offense. Now I wonder if that right up has
followed you.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Is it like a permanent record for gay?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
No, but it's sitting at Richmond County country Club place.
Speaker 9 (09:27):
You think, like your boss at that place called up
I heart. Hey, we've got some files here that.
Speaker 11 (09:31):
You before you hire, Garrett, Before you hire you should
know this would.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Be some hater shit. Yeah, from the high school job. No,
one time you fucked up, you know one time?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Okay, well, five minute morning shoe over.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Wait, No, I think this is more than we went
to that. Can I say, you're supposed to even a
little longer.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I think our company's policy on how clients like we
deal with clients and stuff has changed a lot, and
I appreciate it because now they have our backs a
lot more, yes than they did before there was a
company in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I don't know if you guys, I'm sure you guys
actually do remember this.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
They were tweeting about how much they hated me, and
I need to be fired and this and that. Somebody
else tweeted back at them, and then they said, we're
going to have your job.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Philly got rid of them. It was amazing. Yeah, shout
out to Q one two.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
We love you. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
When was this?
Speaker 8 (10:19):
I don't remember this.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
We were all in Miami. I don't remember if we
were there or not. It was it was like twenty nineteen.
Maybe we were all in Miami. Yeah, and it turned
into the thing, We're.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Gonna have a great book when this show's over.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah, is the name in the names of these clients?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Does your stuff from high school follow you throughout life too?
Because that's a permanent record. Also, what permanent means forever.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
It means for as long as you're in school.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
What did you do in high school?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
I got suspend it for breaking stuff in the hallway
and rotten fruit in my locker and fire works everything.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
You're never going to be a janitor there.
Speaker 9 (10:49):
No, I picture.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Scotti is the person who like drilled a hole into
the girl's locker room.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
No, I didn't do Porky's. Yes, No, I tell you
we We took over an empty lot, a vacant locker,
and we put one of those twenty five shot Saturn
missiles in it. You know, the little box that you
light on fourth of July with the twenty five little
red caps in it. So we put it in there,
lit it, close the door, and ran like hell.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
And it was like gee gee.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
And like today, the swat team would have come in,
you know, but back then they were just like you kids.
And then we got like detention for a couple of days,
but we got written up for that.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
No, I was bad in high school?
Speaker 7 (11:26):
How did you not turn into a little hoodlum? But
I mostly made people do stuff. I paid people to
do things and videotaped it.
Speaker 9 (11:34):
Let's just end on that note.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Now, the statute of Limitations has.
