Southern Trauma: Daddy Loved Drag Queens, Scaring People, and Making the News
from Wait What!? with Aimee Mayo · host Aimee Mayo
What happens when a family sits down and finally tells the stories they've never told before? In Part 2 of this raw, unfiltered conversation, hit songwriter Aimee Mayo sits down with her mom Becky and uncle Kelly Harwood for a hilarious, emotional, and wildly unexpected journey through family secrets, DNA surprises, growing up in small-town Alabama, coming out as gay in the Deep South, mental health struggles, suicide prevention, addiction and recovery, and grief. There's Danny Mayo burning 500 X-rated movies on live television (except he didn't actually burn them), Southern family trauma, country music stories, and a meteor shower over Monteagle where two kids with nothing made wishes that somehow came true. Near the end, Kelly says something that stopped everyone cold — and you won't see it coming. This is Wait. What?! with Aimee Mayo — and this might be the most important episode we've ever made.
