It's more than just a number; it's a glimpse into the high stakes world of road travel. On this adventurous leg of the Scotty Don't X Show Travel Edition, we're sharing the real, often surprising, stories from the road.

But that's not all – we tackle some thought-provoking subjects too. Reflecting on workplace dynamics and the power imbalances highlighted by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, we probe the complexities of consent and authority. For a lighter twist, we share the quirky story of a Monica Lewinsky bus tour hosted by Z100 Portland, complete with a couple of attendees who felt slightly short-changed. And just for fun, we sprinkle in a few playful warnings about the Illuminati, assuring you there's no secret society pulling the strings here. Tune in for an engaging mix of stories, insights, and humor as we continue our journey on the open road.

Join me on the Scotty Don't X Show as I take on my best NPR impression to explore the dramatic evolution of mental health care from the 1980s to today. We'll uncover the dark days when stigma was rampant, and mental health discussions were taboo, to our current era where open conversations and teletherapy are becoming the norm. This episode promises an insightful journey through time, offering a deep understanding of both the progress we've made and the challenges that still lie ahead.

Step back into the '80s, a time when deinstitutionalization left many without support, and treatment options were scarce. Fast forward to today, where mental health is increasingly recognized as essential to overall wellness. Public figures are sharing their stories, and movements like #BellLetsTalk are breaking down barriers. Yet, despite these advances, access to care and lingering stigma remain significant hurdles. Tune in to hear this compelling narrative and understand why integrated care models and teletherapy are reshaping the mental health landscape.

I'm not flying anything, and these aren't even TV shows known for having a single pilot episode.   

This is my second in an unknown limited series of Pilot episodes. In this episode, I ask you to open your hearts and thoughts to those in the business who are getting laid off. The number is growing daily, and people do not know where the next cuts are coming from.

I still need to figure out how my recording is dropping/muffling my voice from the first part of the "X" when I say "ScottyDont X Show".

This podcast mentions a book from someone I took a class from "Hi Kyle!" - but is not an advertisement or monetized event.  As a matter of fact, I bought this book with my own money.  ;)

 ScottyDontX - there you look, there I am!

]]> This is the second episode of the pilot series. 

I'm not flying anything, and these aren't even TV shows known for having a single pilot episode.   

This is my second in an unknown limited series of Pilot episodes. In this episode, I ask you to open your hearts and thoughts to those in the business who are getting laid off. The number is growing daily, and people do not know where the next cuts are coming from.

I still need to figure out how my recording is dropping/muffling my voice from the first part of the "X" when I say "ScottyDont X Show".

This podcast mentions a book from someone I took a class from "Hi Kyle!" - but is not an advertisement or monetized event.  As a matter of fact, I bought this book with my own money.  ;)
