Wease admits his Parkinson's has been kicking his ass lately, and when you combine that with too much tequila and smoking weed, things can go sideways fast. He got up in the middle of the night to grab hearing aid batteries from the bathroom, and the next thing he knew, he was waking up on the tile floor with a gash on his head and Doreen calling 911. The episode breaks down the entire ordeal: How Wease passed out in the bathroom, cracked his head on the tile, and didn't even realize what happened Doreen's frantic efforts to break his fall while he went down completely unconscious The house guests who walked in on the chaos and called for help Fire rescue showing up to find Wease naked, confused, and asking what the hell he was doing in the bathroom The ambulance ride to the hospital, where Wease complained to paramedics about what Doreen was putting him through Hours in the ER getting X-rays, CAT scans, blood tests, EKGs, and IVs while Doreen stood around like a zombie at 3 in the morning Getting discharged at 4:30 a.m. after Doreen kept the staff on their toes to speed things up Wease admits he was in bad shape that night. The Parkinson's, the tequila, the weed—it all hit at once. Doreen was terrified he had a brain bleed, which is why she insisted on the ER trip. The hospital staff was phenomenal, checking everything to make sure he was okay, but Wease spent the whole time annoyed that Doreen kept telling everyone the story over and over again. But the chaos didn't end there. When they finally got home, the elevator in their building was out. Completely out. No elevator service for a 12-story building, which meant the only way up was to walk the stairs or take a bizarre detour through someone else's condo on the 23rd floor. The episode also covers: Jake's wild coincidence of meeting two people separately—one in London, one in New York—who are now dating each other Lucy's trip to McSorley's, the oldest Irish pub in New York City, where the waiter snapped at her and held 10 beers in one hand The debate over whether Timothy Chalamet or Michael B. Jordan deserved the Oscar for best actor How Michael B. Jordan physically created dimples for one of his twin characters without makeup The Cannabis Corner event at the Carlson Lounge, where guests get VIP treatment before comedy shows Wease's ongoing struggle with finding the right marijuana dosage for sleep without getting too high The Sabres' playoff push and why Wease is convinced they're winning the Stanley Cup this year The psychic who predicted the Bills would win the Super Bowl in 2027 and the Sabres would win the Cup in 2026 This episode is raw, chaotic, and filled with the kind of real-life drama that only happens to the Wease family. From emergency room visits to elevator nightmares to neighbor feuds and reality TV controversies, it's another wild ride through the circus. It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
