For the first time in over 4 years, Bon Jovi is back on tour, playing nine sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. With so many fans flocking to the Mecca, Evan brought on longtime fan Lynn DeJulio Felton (@joviredhead) who took in night 2!

How was the show? What was the atmosphere like? How was Jon Bon Jovi’s voice following vocal surgery? And what came with the Legendary VIP package?

All that plus watching some clips from the show, talking Richie Sambora and sharing how waiting until the last minute to get seats on Ticketmaster can prove fruitful! On a steel horse, let’s ride!

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.

In this episode of Evan Says, Evan dives into the future of New York City politics — sharing his anticipation for Zohran Mamdani’s potential victory in the mayoral race. Evan also breaks down his Zohran’s campaign promises and how realistic they are for the city. 🗽 And what about the common refrain ‘Tax The Rich?’ Is that practical? Then Evan shifts coasts to talk about California’s Prop 50 and why it’s more about voter representation than people realize. ⚖️ Plus, Evan throws in a few thoughts on the epic World Series where the Los Angeles Dodgers edged out the Toronto Blue Jays — the highs, the heartbreaks, and the moments that made baseball magic again. ⚾️
