October 09, 2026

Andrew Dice Clay was supposed to be on this episode. The promoter called, Wease said yes, and then Dice found out who he was doing the interview with and passed.

Shea flew in to host, and he opens with the truth: this is the send-off that should have happened on the radio and never did. A National Radio Hall of Famer, same wall as Jack Benny, Bob Hope, and Orson Welles, got walked out the door with no goodbye. So the people who lived it threw the party themselves. Wease takes the stag...
