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.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Scotty Don't X Show.
I still have nothing ofsubstance to say.
So, like I said, I couldn't sitdown at my podcast station, I
couldn't write, so I decided tothrow on the Meta Smart Glasses

(00:21):
microphone and take my dog Tothe 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 peedon.

(00:42):
So anyway, back to why BJswitches stations Howard turns
out BJ's in and then DannyBonaduce's out retirement
medical, god bless and BJ's in.
So, with nothing large on thehorizon, it looks like this was

(01:08):
a different kind of separation.
I don't have any informationthat anyone else doesn't, other
than this affected me personallyvery hard.
This affected me personallyvery hard.
This affected me worse thansome of my firings, and some of

(01:39):
my firings from variousnon-radio jobs, but
communication jobs have beenepic.
So I worked as an outsourcepartner for one of the major
mobile companies and this wasbefore there was a definition of
an internet, karen, and shecalled and she was screaming and
yelling and the thing is, herargument was illogical.

(02:04):
She basically wanted free moneyfor nothing, or rather to cover
up her error for overspending.
So anyway, I laid out thelogical thing and she's like who
are you, what's your name?
And I go Mehoff, jack Mehoff.

(02:25):
And so she repeats it, jack,mehoff.
And then five of her grandkidsjust start laughing and she
slams down the phone.
That was pretty funny.
It took her about four hours ofcalling back to get to the

(02:45):
miscellaneous outsource partnersto finally find the one where I
was at, and she explained thesituation.
And so the next meeting with mymanagers asked about that and I
owned up to everything.

(03:06):
And when they did say, do youremember this call?
I go.
Ah, this screaming yelling giveme money for nothing, lady.
They go, yeah, and apparentlygiving out Jack Mehoff and
embarrassing her in front of herfive grandkids was something
that they did not want to dealwith.

(03:28):
So I was.
Actually, it's funny.
The people who had the meetingwith me didn't have the
authority to fire me, so theysent me home and said I could
wait for a call.
Well, this platform, notplatform.
But these outsource partnerswere pretty incompetent, so I

(03:55):
had to call back multiple timesto find out hey, when do I get
back on the schedule?
And the one manager I reachedsays oh yeah, come in tomorrow,
no problem.
Well, a couple hours later, oneof the big bosses says yeah,
you're no longer with theorganization, I go that doesn't
match what I was told before.

(04:16):
He's like yeah, sorry about that.
I guess we'll have to trainthose people better, jack me off
.
Better, jack Kneehoff.
