sanitynotincluded 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hello! At the risk of being shoved against the lockers by the older folk for being such a stupid newbie, I thought I'd ask a question about Dear Scott:Is it actually a lot harder to get on it than Scott and Beccy make out? I've sent in some real zingers if I may say so myself...but nadda! What's a guy gotta do to get his e-mail read out? For example, I sent in the attached clip for some innuendo bingo...I really thought it'd get on! Am I just being naive? Should I persevere? Shall I just go and sit in the corner and think about what I've done?:arrow: scottsinuendo.mp3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Ask Andy Mac on this one, he seems to be successful in getting read out. Quote Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies... Link to post Share on other sites
sanitynotincluded 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Damn that Andy Mac and his impressions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom. 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 It depends what their loose theme of the show is, when you send it in, the amount of emails they are receiving. I get on quite a bit... just not in dear scott... also it helps if Beccy has emailed you in the past so she has your email as well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sanitynotincluded 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Actually, as a sort of aside:When I sent in my first e-mail, I got the auto-reply telling me he couldn't reply to all e-mails. My subsequent didn't even get an auto-reply :/I've sent in an innuendo bingo clip, a request for the PR4L to read out the lyrics of a song that *sounds* like it says 'watch me while I take a pee', a photo of a sign in IKEA that says 'We aim to give you the Air Hostess service!' in their cafe (Could be competition for their air plane food restaurant!), a clip of Beccy being VERY silly, and all sorts of nonsense...It's not even that I'm desperate to get on...it's just that some of the stuff really would have been good material. It probably didn't help that I sent my innuendo bingo clip in the last week Scott was on. Beccy wasn't even around on Thursday, and now he's in Australia. Ho hum...I won't give up!

Tom. 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Don't send too much in.... put that you are from UM at the bottom of your email as well, as they do read here... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sanitynotincluded 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Oh don't worry...it wasn't all in one go! This 4 emails between July and now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viv 14 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Just try and make it radio worthy. Short, snappy, to the point.... and, dare I say it, slightly off the wall. Off-the-wall is the way forward..... Quote Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !! http://youtu.be/59dZzXLPRg0 Link to post Share on other sites
Viv 14 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 lyrics of a song that *sounds* like it says 'watch me while I take a pee', a photo of a sign in IKEA that says 'We aim to give you the Air Hostess service!' in their cafe (Could be competition for their air plane food restaurant!), !Sorry, but I don't find either of this particular impressive. If they have a guest coming in, think up a really good question/ some obscure fact that not a lot of people would know about. * * This seems to be R1 mentality. When I sent in a question recently about Russell Howard attempting to set his bum on fire, I KNEW 100% R1 would pick it up.... when I sent it in, I could feel all the hairs on my head standing up!!!!!! * * not. a. joke.

sanitynotincluded 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Yeah, no, I'll admit that my first few e-mails were lame...like...actually lame. But then I'd only been listening to the show for a few weeks. The last one though - the innuendo bingo - wasn't that bad, was it? I thought the fact that the words had come out of his own mouth would make it that much more humorous.Anyway...perhaps I should have hung around a bit more before posting. I'm really not somebody who joined just so I could find out how to get onto the show...I don't want to get a reputation! I just thought I'd ask as you lot would probably know better than anybody else! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viv 14 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 it's OK... Please feel free to get a reputation. Just wait to you run into Andy Mac.... he's absolutely obsessed with getting e-mails read out. And I mean OBSESSED. Why would Scott choose to read his own stuff back though on his Show.... maybe that's what wrong, the innuendo is often from external sources, you know!!I would wait until the next batch of guests, find out something so completely random and off-the-wall about them, then do up an e-mail with the Guest name in the subject title, and go for it!!Not so sure about the UM thing. I have unofficialmills in my sig., and can't get this place picked up. Quote Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !! http://youtu.be/59dZzXLPRg0 Link to post Share on other sites
sanitynotincluded 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Meh, I wouldn't ever send anything in for the hell of it. If I did that I'd be sending in e-mails every day! 4 over 6 months isn't very many...perhaps thats my problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom. 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Most of the time Scott picks up on his own innuendo or knows his listeners would have picked up on it anyway, so it's pointless playing it again.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sanitynotincluded 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Argh except he totally just sailed right past this one without saying anything! It's ok though, I'll make my peace with it. One day.Until then, I'll sit here in my dark room, on a Friday night, rocking back and forth on a chair in front of a computer, plotting ways in which to concoct a suitab- ooh! Look! A video of a cat being wrapped up! Ok, I'm totally over Dear Scott. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheEpicPlum 10 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I heard Andy Mac on it AGAIN the other day. I've sent in plenty of mail, but only ever got an email read out once. Basically, wait until they are covering for Chris, and you'll have more chance of getting on. (: Quote OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.
