The ScottyDontX Show
Solving for "X" - every day.
I am in the process of building a podcast from scratch, adding to it one step at a time, one day at a time.
Since there was no show preparation, no written script, and no market research, let's categorize this first one as comedy-improv.
Because, with me or at me, someone will find a reason to laugh.

BJ Shea Week Episode 2 of 5: "Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes"
Surprise Style Firings: Ever found yourself in a pickle because of a practical joke? Picture me, Scotty Don't X, at the dog park, sun on my face, K9 sniffing away, recounting my unforgettable brush with the "Jack Mehoff" incident. What began as a simple attempt to lighten the mood with a particularly angry customer spiraled into a comedic saga of corporate miscommunication and unexpected job separation. Join me as I share how this prank gone wrong became one of the more colorful anecdotes in my career and why it still makes me chuckle to this day.
Life isn't just about those jaw-dropping moments, though. Let's chat about the rollercoaster ride of radio station shakeups that hit me harder than any job loss ever did. With candid humor and a pinch of chaos, I lay bare the personal growth, professional stumbles, and the hilarity that shaped my journey. Whether you're a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, my tales are here to entertain and, perhaps, resonate with your own adventures. Plus, I'll let you in on where you can catch up with more of my antics across social media – because the fun doesn't stop when the episode ends.

Welcome to the Scotty Don't X Show. I still have nothing of substance to say. So, like I said, I couldn't sit down at my podcast station, I couldn't write, so I decided to throw on the Meta Smart Glasses microphone and take my dog To the dog park. That way I'm getting fresh air, I'm getting sun, I can watch my fur baby Sniff everything, mostly leaves and Patches of grass that other dogs have peed on. So anyway, back to why BJ switches stations Howard turns out BJ's in and then Danny Bonaduce's out retirement medical, god bless and BJ's in.
Speaker 1:So, with nothing large on the horizon, it looks like this was a different kind of separation. I don't have any information that anyone else doesn't, other than this affected me personally very hard. This affected me personally very hard. This affected me worse than some of my firings, and some of my firings from various non-radio jobs, but communication jobs have been epic.
Speaker 1:So I worked as an outsource partner for one of the major mobile companies and this was before there was a definition of an internet, karen, and she called and she was screaming and yelling and the thing is, her argument was illogical. She basically wanted free money for nothing, or rather to cover up her error for overspending. So anyway, I laid out the logical thing and she's like who are you, what's your name? And I go Mehoff, jack Mehoff. And so she repeats it, jack, mehoff. And then five of her grandkids just start laughing and she slams down the phone. That was pretty funny.
Speaker 1:It took her about four hours of calling back to get to the miscellaneous outsource partners to finally find the one where I was at, and she explained the situation. And so the next meeting with my managers asked about that and I owned up to everything. And when they did say, do you remember this call? I go. Ah, this screaming yelling give me money for nothing, lady. They go, yeah, and apparently giving out Jack Mehoff and embarrassing her in front of her five grandkids was something that they did not want to deal with. So I was.
Speaker 1:Actually, it's funny. The people who had the meeting with me didn't have the authority to fire me, so they sent me home and said I could wait for a call. Well, this platform, not platform. But these outsource partners were pretty incompetent, so I had to call back multiple times to find out hey, when do I get back on the schedule? And the one manager I reached says oh yeah, come in tomorrow, no problem. Well, a couple hours later, one of the big bosses says yeah, you're no longer with the organization, I go that doesn't match what I was told before.
Speaker 1:He's like yeah, sorry about that. I guess we'll have to train those people better, jack me off. Better, jack Kneehoff.
Speaker 2:The Scotty Don't X show was taped before a live audience, probably including his dog K9, named after the tin dog from Doctor who. The host of this podcast, ruthlessness, can be found on the following social media just under the name Scotty Don't X Instagram, facebook, twitter X, tiktok, imgur, tumblr, vimeo, pinterest, and if you reach out, you too can get an invite to.
