Angie Brice and Evan overlapped at Tufts University for two years, never met, yet somehow they’re Facebook friends. In their first conversation ever, hear them try to solve that mystery and then discuss her post-Tufts travels, her Hairoine product line and how she ended up working at the United Nations in Switzerland! Also, Angie goes in-depth about her current battle with lung cancer and how she approaches life as she serves as an inspiration to her family and friends. Nothing awkward this time.

Ari Glasgow messaged Evan on LinkedIn with questions about how to get into comedy. Evan replied by saying ‘Be my Facebook friend, come on my podcast, and I’ll answer your questions.’ So here we are: a fellow Tufts Jumbo like Evan, Ari is going into his senior year and starting to look at life after college and life in comedy. How does one get into comedy? How to promote yourself? Do you need a day job? Should you try to join SAG-AFTRA? All those questions and more will be answered, plus some Tufts University banter.

NOTE: Audio on Ari’s end is a little echoey, because Evan’s an idiot, but at least he does a majority of the talking on this one.

A Jason Burke Thanksgiving – Ep 017

Jason Burke has run 56 marathons in 21 cities across 4 continents. He was also Evan’s college teammate on Tufts University’s cross-country and track teams. After surveying Jason’s opinions of other people with the last name Burke (3:40), Evan and Jason talk running marathons and the viral story about a college runner who got hit by a deer during a race, which leads Burke to recount his first-hand hit-by-a-deer-while-running experience in 1997. (11:50) They then reminisce about the legend of 351 Boston Avenue, the off-campus house where Burke lived with four other teammates. This causes Evan to haphazardly cast the ‘351’ movie.

The conversation then turns miscellaneous as Burke weighs in on music, explains what he does for a living and updates us on little brother Tim.

It’s Thanksgiving so be thankful for this interview with Jason Burke! And get on a damn treadmill!

For the first time in 12 years, Evan talks to Valentina Gomez, a Facebook friend from college whom he didn’t meet until after college.

Evan then counters by comparing with his high school reunion to his wife’s (fyi – it’s the same high school). Valentina also describes life in Charlotte, North Carolina as a Jets fan among Panthers fans. Valentina then leaves us with her Netflix picks, which may just be Gilmore Girls, Gilmore Girls and Gilmore Girls.
