Taryn Kristal is the founder of The Resolvancy – a divorce strategy and coaching firm, but to Evan she is the girl into whose locker he slipped a Peanuts card in the sixth grade. Now 3o years later, Evan gets her and her boyfriend at the time’s reaction. Taryn also discusses the power of music, her favorite musical acts and vocalists, her Rie & Ryn clothing line, the other Taryn Kristal in her life, what she thought of Evan’s theatrical wife during high school and other Great Neck nostalgia and name-dropping. Then, Kelly Meyersfield makes an appearance to table read a classic Mike Francesa radio call with Taryn as included in Evan’s dumb book “Mike Francesa’s Greatest Hits.” With a dynamic similar to Screech interviewing Kelly Kapowski, this discussion is chock full of awkward. #GoRebels

Anthony Zenkus is a tireless advocate for the welfare of children, families and communities. Working in the field of family violence, relationship violence, sexual assault and child poverty, he has trained thousands of professionals and community members across the country on how to better recognize, prevent and respond to abuse and neglect. Some of that expertise helped Anthony go viral last winter when the Trump campaign sent out a video of him speaking on Joe Biden. The ironic part? Professor Zenkus is not even a fan of Trump’s. Hear how that all played out as well as how he and Evan met due to Anthony’s other life as lead singer of the band Joe Lies. They reminisce on Munchaba Lounge, the Long Island music scene, WLIR and so much more!
