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 3 of 5: "I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavors"
Quick Recap at the start: Ever find yourself on the receiving end of a surprise firing because of a prank that didn't quite land? Picture this: Mehoff, Jack Mehoff, at your service—well, until the ill-fated laughter of a few grandkids led to my immediate exit from a major mobile company. Join me as I relive this bizarre moment from my career, reflecting on the days when toxic work environments were simply the norm, and humor was my only armor. It's a tale of absurdity and workplace culture that might just make you chuckle and shake your head in disbelief.
But that's not all—let's switch gears and head to the stands of a frosty Mariners game with BJ's crew from KZOK. From mingling with the likes of Sarah and Waldo to missing out on an electric guitar by a hair's breadth, it's a whirlwind of promos, raffles, and windy stadium seats. With my trusty pup K-9 by my side and a community of lively listeners, the energy never dips. Engage with us on social media, hop into our Discord server, and enjoy a blend of personal misadventures, community tales, and a splash of whimsical nostalgia.

Welcome to the Scotty Don't X Show. I still still have nothing of substance to say.
Speaker 2:A quick catch up if you skipped the last episode.
Speaker 3:This affected me personally very hard. This affected me worse than some of my firings. So I worked as an outsource partner for one of the major mobile companies. This was before there was a definition 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. I laid out the logical thing. 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. I was. A couple hours later, one of the big bosses says yeah, you're no longer with the organization.
Speaker 1:Anyway. So that was a surprise style, firing for me kind of. I mean you don't get to say Mehoff, jack, mehoff, james Bond style to customers typically. But like I said, it was a problematic I'll throw the word toxic on it, but that wasn't really used back then More of a perpetual dumpster fire Surprise style and I don't know anything. But that might be what happened with BJ Listening to Mornings on KZOK.
Speaker 1:The next week was interesting. They, as far as their game show Smarticus I don't think there was Where's Sarah Beaver and their interaction with their callers went way down For the hey call in and tell us about your worst something or another that happened on your best something or another. They took like one call. I guess it might have something to do with their customer service manager, formerly call screener, waldo, being out or working from home for the week. Of course I didn. I hear that get mentioned so I thought, wait, bj and Waldo were gone. That's a little wacky tacky. Then they were doing their social media and then they finished with and Waldo magic everywhere, host host producer and Waldo Got to meet Waldo and Gibbons and Sarah at a few of the events.
Speaker 1:That was cool. First event I got to meet Sarah and Waldo because Gibbons wasn't part of the program was at a spring Mariners game, which was pretty cool, but oh my gosh, if you're not sitting in a sun area you're in the shadow zone like the 300, uh, what 1920 series. You better bring a windbreaker Luckily I did, because the windshield there nasty. Funny thing is, I don't really like live baseball games. I went just to meet BJ's new show people and give them about 200 promo buttons which they wound up giving away to fans at the Mariners game, as well as the rest going to people who went to their 50th anniversary party.
Speaker 1:That was held casino had some music. They also were giving away an electric guitar based on raffle numbers and I was within nine numbers of matching. So first digit, second digit, third digit, fourth digit, fifth digit I was on, and then sixth digit, yep, that was about nine digits away from mine. Kind of would have been cool, but considering I had owned a guitar for 20 years prior and recently had given it away Because I never learned how to play this guitar I think it was signed by someone would have just wound up hanging as an art piece.
