While growing up in Northeast Ohio, Scott fell in love with radio. One of his heroes was Phil Gardner, a two-time winner of Billboard's Air Personality of the Year Award. Phil worked for Cleveland's 1220 WGAR and G-98 WGCL. (Listen to one of his airchecks here.) His unique style wedged itself into Scott at the cellular level and has remained an influential irritant ever since. 

In 2020, Phil and Scott became Facebook friends. Scott created the video below in honor of Phil's 2023 birthday.

Saturday, January 27th is Comedy Night at Tecumseh Center for the Arts, but you'd already know that if you had listened to this radio commercial promoting the event.

Scott wrote and produced the spot specifically for 107one, Ann Arbor's adult album alternative station. He wanted to be sure the spot wasn't funny, so the comedians would seem a lot funnier by comparison. He succeeded wildly.

Let's spend a few minutes talking about the shredding and recycling of sensitive documents, as old friends so often do. That's AccuShred's specialty. 

Scott wrote the copy and provided the voiceover for this Humor On Hold production, knowing that eventually it, too, will be shredded and recycled. New BusinessVoice client Nate Segall wrote, "Thank you! Well done! You hit a good tone for the first stab at it. It's plugged in and entertaining our customers now!"

A few weeks later, Nate wrote, "Just had another nice compliment on the first production. [The caller said] 'Could have stayed on the phone all afternoon listening to the message!'"

Unlike other radio commercials, these two spots float. That's because Scott incorporated several buoyant phrases in the copy and pushed extra air into the voiceover. Take them out to a nearby lake, push the play buttons and see for yourself.

What do the children of Portland, Oregon want most for Christmas?

A makeup bag? Gas cards? Matching ladles? Linoleum flooring? A gift crate of charcoal briquettes? New drapes? Some sort of toy or something? 

Nope. Not even close! They want to be placed on hold after calling D&F Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. That's it. Just a few minutes of mindless holiday joy, punctuated by terrifyng screams from the ghost of Christmas past. 

Take a listen to their dream gift below. Amy and Scott coughed up the voiceover. Scott wrote the copy while nearly drowning in an egg nog bath.

Look, the odds of this video exploding in your face when you hit the play button are, like, 17 to 1. It's probably not gonna' happen, so just push play and listen already. 

Okay, fine - before you press play, go ahead and close your eyes if that makes you feel better. 

Good luck.

The main reason people call Wellington Implement isn't to buy a new Case IH Axial-Flow 8240 combine or ask about Cub Cadet's Ultima Series ZTXS zero-turn mowers.

Nope.

They call to hear the Humor On Hold, like the example below. And as they listen, they dream about a world in which every business uses Humor On Hold from BusinessVoice and they smile at the thought of such a world. 

Okay, that's not entirely true. 

Actually, it's not true at all, but Scott did co-write the copy for this production with BusinessVoice Creative Consultant Daniel DiManna and then he provided the voiceover all by himself - with no help or anything.

Platinum MarCom Awards don't grow on trees, ya' know. 

They're mined - fully formed - from central Nevada's famed underwater caverns, then presented to a relative few to "honor excellence in marketing and communication, while recognizing the creativity, hard work and generosity of industry professionals." 

This Humor On Hold production for D&F Plumbing, Heating and Cooling in Portland, Oregon earned a 2023 Platinum MarCom in the audio/radio category. That automatically entitles it to a permamnent spot in Heaven. Amy and Scott laid the voiceover on thick. Scott wrote the copy knowing that one day he might regret it. 

Upon receiving a framed copy of the MarCom Award certificate, D&F Plumbing's Desiree Grosman wrote, "Very exciting. Grateful for your hard work and creativity."

People are destroying radios all over the Portland, Oregon listening area, thanks to these commercials Scott wrote and voiced for D&F Plumbing, Heating and Cooling. 

Protests have included cries of "Enough already!" and "Why are you doing this to us?" Pockets of violence have broken out in front of the radio stations airing the spots.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler will address the media about the clamor tomorow at noon following a catered lunch.

Created through BusinessVoice, this Humor On Hold production has been credited with saving three lives and preventing a boating accident that could've easily claimed another seven souls. At this time, we're not permitted to reveal the details of any of those situations, so you'll just have to trust us that all of that is true. 

Amy and Scott provided the voiceover. Scott co-wrote the copy with Cassandra Evans, who was shielded from a falling elm tree by this Humor On Hold.
