The Beth Donahue Episode: Breast Reductions & Taint Biopsies | Wease Family Circus | Ep 28

Wease finally takes the political filter off. Comedian Beth Donahue-Weedman pulls up to Captivate Studios, visiting from Nashville, and the show that's dodged politics for as long as it's existed lets it all out. Beth has been doing stand-up for 25 years, got sober before she ever hit a stage, and has the stories to prove it, from the paper AA directories she used to find a meeting in every city she toured, to kidnapping Kevin Bacon for a radio bit that ended with Kyra Sedgwick calling her. She, Wease, and Jake and Doreen get into what Nashville has turned into, why people are dropping lifelong friends over politics, and the misinformation machine that has everybody arguing with ghosts online. Then Wease goes deep on the Eagles. He just tore through two band books plus Don Felder's tell-all, and he lays out the whole saga: how Felder wrote the music to "Hotel California," taught a young Tom Petty to play guitar, and got run out of the band by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Plus the cocaine paranoia, the Stevie Nicks love triangles, and why the guy who writes the song is the one who gets the money. It gets personal, too. Wease heads out an hour after taping for a prostate biopsy and talks straight about his cancer fight, Doreen shares the surgery she's been putting off, and the crew realizes the very building they tape in used to be the rehab center where Beth's partner got treated. Plus Love After Lockup's Rochester couple, Brad Pitt and sobriety, the punch buggy that became Beth's dream car, and a whole lot more.
