The New York Knicks are about to battle the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals and Evan is on edge. To reduce (or enhance) his anxiety, Evan brings on fellow Knicks fan and Great Neck South high school alum Jerry Lee.
Evan and Jerry recount the Knicks’ historic run to the finals while citing what makes them most confident and uncertain about the Knicks’ prospect of capturing their first title in over 50 years! They also give their predictions and talk Great Neck nostalgia before Evan asks Jerry why he doesn’t see his cousin Larry that much.

Will CM Punk or Roman Reigns reign supreme? Also, Jay as well as Kelly Meyersfield jump in to share their wrestling shirts, google Liv Morgan’s hematoma and Brock Lesnar’s hulkish daughter… but mostly they look on in boredom.

This episode Evan welcomes Star Wars fanatic, pop culture maven and fellow Great Neck, Long Island native Spencer Jawitz. After the initial Great Neck nostalgia, Spencer and Evan break down how each of them raved about the new Running Man movie starring Glen Powell. From the Easter eggs to the messaging, Spencer shares why this movie hit the mark and how he has a connection to cast member Katy O’Brian!
Then they dived into everything Star Wars as Spencer is the co-founder of Virtual Cantina Network (VCN), an online community of Star Wars fans over 100,000 strong! Spencer then gives a primer of how all the additional Star Wars content fits in with the theatrical releases. He also recalls his visit to George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch and a big upcoming announcement of Star Wars convention in Los Angeles in 2027.
Spencer also mentions how his passion for Star Wars has supplanted his involvement with pro wrestling. However, that didn’t stop him and Evan from talking WWE’s TKO era, an upcoming Wrestlemania in Saudi Arabia, John Cena’s retirement tour and LA Knight.
Get ready for an episode chalk-full of entertaining and insightful takes that make it less awkward, but more geeky.

Last week tickets for Bon Jovi’s Forever tour went on sale. And they were selling so much that shows had to keep being added. However, with Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing and long queues, success was mixed for fans.
Hardcore Jovi fans Michele Bloom, Chantel Griffin and Jerry Braden all join Evan to debrief on their ticket buying experience and the overall fan reaction, sharing a mix of anticipation, excitement, but some dismay.
Also, with Bon Jovi as popular as ever, but no current fan club, the fans wonder how the fanbase can regain that sense of community that initially brought them together. What would it take? Who’s going to run it?
Plus, have these fans ever bought Bon Jovi tickets from a scalper? And what are they most looking forward to this upcoming Bon Jovi tour?
With a fan summit on the level of the World Economic Forum, this episode is a must listen for hardcover music lovers who want to stay connected to their fellow fans and the band that they love – FOREVER!
