Scott opened Wednesday by acknowledging the week’s midpoint, saying it felt “very Wednesday-y today,” before immediately admitting he’d already been distracted by something ridiculous. Ellie Brennan and Tina Daheley were both in, with Scott checking in on them and joking that “we’ve all hit that midweek wobble slightly.”
Within minutes the conversation had drifted into imaginary careers and made-up job titles after a listener texted about describing their role in a way that sounded far more impressive than reality. Scott laughed that “we’ve all done this — you give it a title and hope nobody asks follow-up questions,” which prompted Ellie to confess she sometimes “adds a bit of gloss” when explaining DJing gigs.
Tina joined in, saying some jobs “sound like they belong in a sci-fi film,” and Scott asked listeners to send in the most inflated descriptions of ordinary roles.
Fake jobs that escalated quickly
The inbox filled fast with people rebranding themselves. Scott read out one describing a warehouse worker as a “logistics redistribution specialist,” which he repeated slowly before laughing. Another listener had described being a dinner lady as “nutritional operations supervisor,” prompting Ellie to say “that is genuinely brilliant.”
Scott played along, inventing his own exaggerated version of radio presenter, calling himself something along the lines of “audio distribution liaison for national morale,” before admitting “this is getting out of hand already.”
What kept it moving was the speed — Scott would read one, react, then immediately move to the next before it could linger. Tina noted the creativity was “actually quite impressive,” while Scott warned that “HR departments are going to start using these.”
Midweek moods and honesty
As often happens, the tone shifted naturally when a listener message introduced something more reflective about midweek tiredness and motivation. Scott read it and said “this feels very Wednesday,” acknowledging how common that slump can be.
Ellie talked about the difference between Monday optimism and Wednesday reality, while Tina admitted she often reassesses her entire life plan by midweek before recovering by Friday. Scott responded that “Wednesday is when you realise how far Friday actually is,” which landed with a wave of agreeing texts.
The mood never tipped heavy; it stayed observational. Scott repeatedly reset with music and lighter links, promising to return to fake job titles after the news.
Good Morning Minute
Good Morning Minute shout-outs returned, with Scott clearly enjoying the contrast between heartfelt birthday messages and the absurd job titles still coming in. Ellie flagged one that had been sitting in the inbox for ten minutes, prompting Scott to say “we cannot ignore that one,” before reading it out.
Tina corrected Scott gently on a timing cue mid-link, which he acknowledged with “thank you — I absolutely would have missed that.”
Scott admitted at one point that “this is one of those mornings where the inbox is doing the work for us,” before immediately adding another message to the pile.
