Evan wraps up graduation season with Matteo Lentini. Evan performed at Matteo’s Kennett High School (Conway, NH) graduation party. After the party, Matteo added Evan on Facebook, and here he is on SOCIALLY AWKWARD! Hear Matteo rave about his high school principal, sports, Seinfeld, Shark Tank and how he ran cross-country as a shotputter, which led to some last place finishes. Matteo then shares that he is attending Husson University (Bangor, ME) in the fall to which Evan recalls his lackluster show at the campus. And finally, Matteo and Evan compare ‘touching the Stanley Cup’ stories. It’s high school awkward all over again!

Evan ventures all the way to Sweden to interview Jimmy Wecksell, a Wecksell to whom Evan is NOT related. Hear why Jimmy is the real Wecksell and Evan is the imposter. Evan and Jimmy also rundown all the Swedish Wecksells on Facebook and Jimmy then tells Evan how he learned English from American TV and video games. And Jimmy’s brother is actually a famous video game champion. And did we mention that Jimmy likes to go to sleep listening to murders? We’ll explain. Does it get more awkward than this?

After kicking off the episode with a political rant (2:13), this week Evan gets lost in conversation with “The Cripple Threat of Comedy” Ryan Niemiller. Despite missing bones and fingers in both hands, Ryan has turned this supposed liability into an asset in his life and career (17:20), i.e. he can type really fast and play video games on 20 different consoles (11:20)!

Hear how Ryan got started in comedy (24:14), how he has incorporated his disability into his act (25:55) and even how one of his sets went viral! He also opens up about how it has affected his dating life (29:15).

Besides video games, Ryan is a HUGE wrestling fan (thanks to Doink) (35:55). He and Evan also get into the current state of WWE, Roman Reigns (48:33), PWG, Lucha Underground and NXT. Finally, Ryan and Evan each fantasy book themselves into wrestling programming.

Even if you’re not a video game or wrestling fan, this conversation will leave you hooked. (Pun intended.)
