00:01:33 - 00:02:20 | Speaker 6:

the other day and i wanted to do this as a topic i want to talk about what i have been written up for in my career here at this radio program i've actually gotten in trouble twice to the point that they wrote me up and i always believe when they write you up that's their preparation to have something in your file that they could fire you for right paper truth and there was two times that i was written up but i want listeners to share with us um what's the most bs write-up that you got and what um you know what did you you know do when they wrote you up because when i got written up uh twice i i fought both of them like i did because you have to get the write-up gone or what

00:02:20 - 00:02:22 | Speaker 3:

Actually, I didn't know you could fight, though.

00:02:22 - 00:02:28 | Speaker 6:

Well, I fought it basically by saying you are crazy and you will pay for this lately.

00:02:29 - 00:02:33 | Speaker 5:

So the times you got written up, are you going to tell us the worst situation or are you going to give us both?

00:02:33 - 00:02:48 | Speaker 6:

I'm going to give you both of them. Okay. Okay. Because one of them is legit. The other one's not legit. The first time that I was written up, I was written up because, and I deserved it, I said bull spit on the radio. I said actually the word. And you should remember that.

00:02:49 - 00:02:55 | Speaker 3:

And actually, it was for a great reason. You want to explain it? You didn't dump it? It had to do with the Oxford high school shooting. Yeah.

00:02:55 - 00:03:33 | Speaker 6:

It was during the Oxford high school shooting. We were talking about guns and we were talking about, you know, protecting kids. You were very emotional. And I was really emotional. And I said it and I didn't dump it. And Tony wrote me up. And it's legit. You cannot swear on the radio. I swore on the radio. If somebody would have complained to the SEC, I would have gotten a big fine for the company. Totally understand that. but I still say that it's BS, but that's okay. Cause my, my sign off when I finally quit and leave is going to be F off, everybody. I'm going to do one of those things and I'm going to leave it. What's the worst thing to do? I'm going to be gone, right?

00:03:34 - 00:03:37 | Speaker 5:

Let me ask you this. When you say it bulls me, like consciously you said,

00:03:37 - 00:03:38 | Speaker 6:

I'm not going to dump it.

00:03:38 - 00:03:38 | Speaker 7:

Yeah.

00:03:39 - 00:04:18 | Speaker 6:

I said it and I was really emotional. Everybody kind of looked and I'm like, I'm not going to, I think I don't want to cut, cut the, cut the momentum of what we were talking about. So that was number one. It was legitimate. The second time was total BS. I mean, honestly, it was crazy. I got written up, and I will never forget this, by Dom Theodore. Post office box. And I love Dom. Dom's actually a friend mentor of mine. He's still alive. He is still alive. Alive and well and doing great. Dom Theodore wrote me up, and it was in my file for playing the song Evanescence Bring Me to Life.

00:04:19 - 00:04:20 | Speaker 5:

Wait, what?

00:04:20 - 00:04:31 | Speaker 6:

You can't play a song? I played it. It was not scheduled or on the log. We weren't even playing it as a radio station. And here's the craziest part. The song was number one song in the country.

00:04:31 - 00:04:31 | Speaker 5:

Right.

00:04:32 - 00:04:32 | Speaker 6:

And I played it.

00:04:32 - 00:04:33 | Speaker 5:

We're ahead of the game.

00:04:33 - 00:04:53 | Speaker 6:

And Dom had said, I told you not to play the song. I said to him, I go, Dom, we should be playing the song. It's the number one song in the country. yeah he's like it doesn't fit the fabric uh the musical fabric of the radio station one of those yeah and so um i mean the guy's a genius the guy literally you know he's the he invented channel

00:04:53 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 5:

955 shut out dom so with that said i'm gonna play that song when you leave right

00:05:00 - 00:05:36 | Speaker 4:

in dom's chevy i'm gonna play it when we're together next time no but those are the two times and um the wildest part is when you get written up in lydia and bianca you guys were the most recent on the show to ever get written up right uh yep i am can y'all talk about it did they make you did they make you sign something yeah they made me sign something both times when i was signing the thing i signed it the bring me the life on a whole programmer but i did it in such cursive that it didn't look like that yeah so can i say something though yeah when we get

00:05:36 - 00:05:43 | Speaker 2:

written up it doesn't look like we're getting written up tony just says like can we just acknowledge can you just fill this out to acknowledge that you know what you did was

00:05:43 - 00:06:00 | Speaker 3:

wrong and then i realized later this is the write-up wow tony signed the write-up and then she's like oh yeah i don't think tony like was writing me up and i said let me see it and she showed me and i said oh tony definitely wrote you up here it was the write-up but he just like this

00:06:00 - 00:06:05 | Speaker 2:

just like an acknowledgement to know what you did was what was it for bianca crazy um i did some

00:06:05 - 00:06:16 | Speaker 4:

yeah oh never mind you know you can say it i get it well she said no you you don't have to say the exact thing but you posted something that should and i learned my lesson the hard way now i'm like

00:06:16 - 00:06:32 | Speaker 2:

always terrified to post things on social media now all right i'm scarred for life you talk to the PD program director yeah oh my gosh and the conversation is with Tony is like having like about to get a beat up by her parents yeah that's what it feels like to get a beat up the one thing

00:06:32 - 00:06:42 | Speaker 4:

though about you Bianca that I know I noticed and because I was like Bianca it's okay don't worry everything's gonna be okay or whatever but Bianca that takes things very personally because this

00:06:42 - 00:07:12 | Speaker 3:

job means a lot to her same thing with Lydia Lydia does too I bawled my eyes out both times when I i got written up wait you got written up twice yes cody wrote me up once um and then tony wrote me up what was the promotion write-up um the promotions assistant who was sending out the address for a planet fitness event sent out the wrong location so i drove there and then um cody called and was like why are you not at this event i said oh i am here and she's like no you're at the wrong location so she felt like planet would be mad at me because i was 10 minutes late from

00:07:12 - 00:07:18 | Speaker 4:

the wrong address so she wrote me up that's crazy what about yeah what about the promo person that

00:07:18 - 00:07:28 | Speaker 3:

Got his manila folder, his white piece of paper, and he's like, can you? Somebody told you, bro, but laughed at you. Bro, laughed during the time. They was all giggling. That's fake. Apparently, she felt so uncomfortable. Couldn't believe I said what I said. What do I tell you, though? What do I tell you? If you're right, though. You can't say stuff.

Shannon, have you ever gotten written up?

00:09:33 - 00:09:42 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, as a show, though. Not, like, individually, but the show that I was on before this one, we got written up all the time and eventually fired. Oh, wow.

00:09:42 - 00:09:45 | Speaker 3:

Does our show have write-ups?

00:09:45 - 00:09:49 | Speaker 4:

The show, no, I think it's each individual. Oh, thank God. We have conflicts.

00:09:49 - 00:09:56 | Speaker 1:

Well, we've gotten our hands left as a show, though. Well, we got suspended. Yeah, for War of the Roses scenarios.

00:09:56 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 4:

There's been, like, two times, I think, in the 27 years.

00:10:00 - 00:10:16 | Speaker 1:

00:10:16 - 00:10:29 | Speaker 2:

I love that. No, you got in trouble. I just wanted to remind you that you were written up for pretending to be the health department. That's what I was talking about with War of the Roses. Did we get in milk or did we get a warning? No, we got

00:10:29 - 00:10:35 | Speaker 1:

we got in big trouble it was we did the whole call the person up and say that somebody tested

00:10:35 - 00:10:40 | Speaker 2:

positive yeah i i wasn't nicole from roses bloom.com i was nicole from the very specific

00:10:40 - 00:10:46 | Speaker 1:

00:10:46 - 00:11:00 | Speaker 2:

00:11:00 - 00:11:09 | Speaker 1:

They did pull, I think they pulled War of the Roses for a few weeks. Yeah, until they were able to get the lawyers to say it was okay. Adriana, what's up?

00:11:09 - 00:11:10 | Speaker 3:

We got to post that one.

00:11:11 - 00:11:21 | Speaker 4:

Hi, I just was calling because one time I got written up for walking away from a customer while he was screaming in my face because I started crying.

00:11:21 - 00:11:22 | Speaker 1:

Oh, my God. That's crazy.

00:11:22 - 00:11:25 | Speaker 4:

I got written up for being rude.

00:11:25 - 00:11:30 | Speaker 1:

You couldn't say? I feared for myself, you know, with this guy screaming at me?

00:11:31 - 00:11:37 | Speaker 4:

I was 16 years old, and I was freshly working there, and I was scared of my manager, so I wouldn't say anything.

00:11:38 - 00:11:46 | Speaker 1:

Man, that's crazy. I don't know. Don't say the name of the company because I don't want to get sued. I'm not going to. If they're that crazy about writing you up. But what kind of work did they do?

00:11:47 - 00:11:47 | Speaker 2:

It was Quicken.

00:11:48 - 00:11:56 | Speaker 4:

It was a retail job. It was kind of like a restaurant that also did retail.

00:11:56 - 00:12:03 | Speaker 1:

Oh, okay. It was, whatchamacallit, the Cracker Barrel, because they always have that stupid story. Am I right in saying that?

00:12:05 - 00:12:06 | Speaker 4:

It was not Cracker Barrel, though.

00:12:06 - 00:12:11 | Speaker 1:

Okay, because Cracker Barrel is like a restaurant with a store. What's up, Tabitha?

00:12:12 - 00:12:14 | Speaker 3:

So I got written up and suspended for telling a coworker I was going to smack her. Oh, but, but this happened on a weekend. We were off the clock and I was partying with the coworker. So I don't think that I should have gotten in trouble for that. So like on the Monday morning of the next, you know, she ended up snitching to HR and I was like, I do not recall this. Like we were partying. I don't know what you're talking about.

00:12:47 - 00:12:51 | Speaker 1:

That's crazy that you got written up during off hours.

00:12:51 - 00:13:09 | Speaker 3:

And to friend it. Yes, exactly. I tried to fight it. Did you smack her? I was like, listen, what I do on my, uh, no. And I'm still there. I'm still there going on several years. I am still there with the company. Is the coworker still there? Yeah. She is. She is. And we're cool again. She is.

So you couldn't take a sick day? Why did you not take a sick day?

00:15:16 - 00:15:30 | Speaker 6:

December is my vacation. I was all out. It was December, and my vacation restarted in January, so they wrote me up for it, even though they would not allow me to go to work until I had gotten a negative COVID test.

00:15:31 - 00:15:37 | Speaker 1:

Wow. Interesting. And mono is no joke. You cannot function when you have mono. Really? Oh, my gosh.
