In this introspective and hard-hitting episode, Scotty B questions a toxic belief buried deep in creative culture—the idea that burnout is proof of commitment. He explores how exhaustion has become a badge of honor for cosplayers and creators, and why many equate constant output with worth.
Scotty unpacks the cycles of overwork, comparison, and guilt that drive people to their breaking point, and asks whether success really requires self-destruction. Through honest reflection, he offers an alternative: a creative life built on balance, rest, and genuine inspiration.
This episode challenges listeners to redefine productivity, to stop equating exhaustion with passion, and to remember that sustainable creation isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
