Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_01: Let me start by telling you why I got written up.
- 0:02SPEAKER_01: And I don't even know if it actually exists because I it might have gone away with that particular GM because at the time there were some times that we butted heads.
- 0:12SPEAKER_01: And I think that the butting of the heads created and not a lot, not as much as Scott and him.
- 0:16SPEAKER_01: But anyway.
- 0:18SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's how we dragged me into this.
- 0:20SPEAKER_01: I'll never forget it.
- 0:21SPEAKER_01: I was doing an outlaw speedway live broadcast.
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: And me and one of my girlfriends, we were I was doing the color commentary.
- 0:29SPEAKER_01: For some reason, I don't know.
- 0:30SPEAKER_01: And I don't even know anything about dirt track racing.
- 0:33SPEAKER_01: So I was doing the color commentary up there, and one of my girlfriends decided she'd come with me.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: Well, someone did not like my aggressive driving, apparently, and uh up to the track.
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: And so they flipped me off.
- 0:46SPEAKER_02: Why why was that aggressive driving uh to the track?
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: Oh, because I was just trying to get there.
- 0:51SPEAKER_02: And and there was- Oh, the words I was running late didn't come out of that.
- 0:54SPEAKER_02: Oh no, no, no, no.
- 0:56SPEAKER_01: And I'm sure they were going slow in the fast lane, the passing lane.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm sure.
- 0:59SPEAKER_01: So then uh this person flipped me off.
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: And then me and my girlfriend just laughed about it.
- 1:05SPEAKER_01: We didn't flip them off back, we laughed about it.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: Well, they came into the station and they were like, Well, you know, she laughed at me and blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 1:14SPEAKER_01: And so the GM was like, written up for that.
- 1:18SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:18SPEAKER_01: How ridiculous is this?
- 1:20SPEAKER_01: Insane.
- 1:20SPEAKER_01: It's so insane.
- 1:21SPEAKER_01: And I thought, okay, was I driving a little aggressively?
- 1:24SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: But prove it.
- 1:28SPEAKER_01: Where's your camera?
- 1:28SPEAKER_01: I didn't, yeah, I didn't, I didn't say that I was.
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: I knew I was.
- 1:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: But at the time, is it and and so here I get written up for because I laughed at somebody who flipped me off.
- 1:38SPEAKER_01: And she admitted, she admitted to flipping me off.
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 1:42SPEAKER_01: That's the funny thing about it.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: So she admitted doing that.
- 1:44SPEAKER_01: We need to ask Melissa if my write-up still exists.
- 1:47SPEAKER_02: No, are you kidding me?
- 1:48SPEAKER_02: That was three companies ago.
- 1:49SPEAKER_01: Well, that exactly.
- 1:50SPEAKER_01: It's so long gone.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: That's what that's what.
- 1:53SPEAKER_02: Three companies and 17 years ago.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: That's a good question.
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: If a company buys another company, because we've been sold uh this three times here?
- 2:01SPEAKER_02: Well, since we've been here, yeah.
- 2:02SPEAKER_01: Three times since we've been here.
- 2:04SPEAKER_01: Do the write-ups go away?
- 2:06SPEAKER_02: I think it would it would require it would depend on the um how do I describe it?
- 2:11SPEAKER_02: It would depend on the level of offense.
- 2:14SPEAKER_02: Hypothetically, if you rolled the Wink 106 truck, per se, and you were drunk.
- 2:21SPEAKER_02: Well, okay, well, no, that would probably get you terminated because you're not going to be able to do that.
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: Oh, that did get Wait, wait.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: So this that actually did happen years ago.
- 2:28SPEAKER_02: Years ago.
- 2:28SPEAKER_01: Did I this happened before me, so that was over 20 years ago.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: Did that guy get fired?
- 2:32SPEAKER_02: Uh there was I don't know that it was, I think it was a series of the bad decision making that was surrounding that.
- 2:38SPEAKER_02: Not, you know.
- 2:40SPEAKER_02: So, but at any rate, if it was something where okay, aggressive driving, not a deer running out in front of you, and you were racing to get around someone from PA who was in the fast lane, and uh, like on 86 from Tioga Downs all the way into Elmira, there's either the right or the left lane closed every 30 feet.
- 3:00SPEAKER_01: Isn't that the truth?
- 3:01SPEAKER_02: So you were trying to race around the person to say, get in front of them, and a construction worker jumped out in front of you and you swerved and you missed them, but in turn you rolled the truck into the center berm.
- 3:14SPEAKER_02: This sounds terrible.
- 3:15SPEAKER_02: That write-up might stick for, you know, that they might hold on to that one and be like, oh, she can never drive the vehicle again.
- 3:21SPEAKER_02: And they would have to keep it on record.
- 3:23SPEAKER_02: What you're talking about?
- 3:24SPEAKER_02: No.
- 3:25SPEAKER_01: Melissa, is that Melissa?
- 3:26SPEAKER_02: I have no idea.
- 3:27SPEAKER_01: Is that a yes or no?
- 3:28unknown: Yeah.
- 3:29SPEAKER_01: Melissa, come here.
- 3:30SPEAKER_01: Oh, this is a good idea.
- 3:31SPEAKER_01: I want to get this answer.
- 3:32SPEAKER_01: Because oh God.
- 3:34SPEAKER_01: Well, I was also gonna say, we have um we have somebody from corporate here.
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: We could always ask him, but I think Melissa would know the answer.
- 3:41SPEAKER_02: Well, why would you want to bring any of that up?
- 3:43SPEAKER_02: I mean, except for the fact it's right now.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: Because I knew it was a stupid write-up.
- 3:46SPEAKER_01: Well, that Melissa, when our companies get sold, which Melissa has also been here.
- 3:51SPEAKER_02: Yes, you've been through all of them with us.
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: Through all of the the GMs?
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: All the say sales.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: What?
- 3:57SPEAKER_00: GMs.
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: Oh, eight GMs, four sales.
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: Um this was a quiz.
- 4:04SPEAKER_01: Do the write-ups get transferred to the new company?
- 4:07SPEAKER_01: So I was written up years ago, and I'm curious if it's still in your records.
- 4:12SPEAKER_01: Wait a minute.
- 4:14SPEAKER_00: I didn't even know you were written up.
- 4:15SPEAKER_02: Wait, were you here or was that during your sabbatical?
- 4:18SPEAKER_02: Well, this took a eight month uh period off.
- 4:21SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't know, years ago.
- 4:22SPEAKER_02: But then came right back and took it over.
- 4:24SPEAKER_01: It was like 20 years ago.
- 4:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:26SPEAKER_01: Anyway, so do do the write-ups continue from one company to the next?
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, I've been in the position I'm in for a long time, and I know nothing about you being written up.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna I was describing to her.
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: I said her I think it depends on the severity of the write-up.
- 4:46SPEAKER_01: Did I not just say this?
- 4:47SPEAKER_01: It was such a stupid write-up.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: Because let me tell you, there's an employee that I still remember got in a fight in the parking lot.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: Okay, and he works here again.
- 4:56SPEAKER_02: But that write-up does not exist, although the story lives forever.
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: Because I don't know if he got written up or if the person who got fired got written up.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: You see how that works.
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: I also want to reference that story lives on the Not for Air podcast and was told very recently about our coworker getting in a fight in the parking lot.
- 5:13SPEAKER_02: Who also is back working here again.
- 5:15SPEAKER_00: Which turns out, if you if they would have waited until like five o'clock and took it across the street, nothing would have happened.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: I'm just saying the same thing.
- 5:22SPEAKER_01: If you take it across the street, you're in someone's yard.
- 5:24SPEAKER_01: Uh no, not.
- 5:25SPEAKER_01: But you're not on work property, so it's not a work problem.
- 5:28SPEAKER_01: Caesar.
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: They might call the cops, but my gosh.
- 5:34SPEAKER_01: Okay, one last question.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: Okay, if you told your boss, Melissa, and Scott, this is for you too.
- 5:39SPEAKER_02: It's so not gonna work for us because we say the worst things to our boss.
- 5:43SPEAKER_01: I'm the most unhinged employee here.
- 5:45SPEAKER_02: Like, come on now.
- 5:46SPEAKER_02: And I'm number two on the list.
- 5:48SPEAKER_01: Listen, if you told our boss, Jonathan, you must have been a C-section baby, the way you avoid labor, would you get sent home or written up?
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: I think if I delivered that line.
- 6:02SPEAKER_00: You would win.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: No.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: You would just shake his head and walk away and just add it to the list of unhinged things I've said to him.
- 6:09SPEAKER_00: It's so true.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: But Scott.
- 6:11SPEAKER_02: Oh no, I could get that I could get away with with him.
- 6:14SPEAKER_02: If I would have told our old GM Smitty that, I'd have been fired.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: Your butthole would have never looked the same.
- 6:21SPEAKER_02: I mean, she used to stock Vaseline for me before I'd get called into the office.
- 6:25SPEAKER_01: Okay, for everyone else who doesn't work in our industry, if you told your boss such a bad example.
- 6:31SPEAKER_01: If you told your boss you must have been a C section baby the way you avoid labor, would you get sent home?
- 6:37SPEAKER_02: I'll wait on your messages.
