🎙️ Was Mike Francesa Right About Superman? – Episode 002
New York sports talk legend Mike Francesa’s scathing review of the new Superman movie garnered over 6 million views on X alone. This had Evan in a frenzy, so after then seeing the movie with his family, he then brought them on to see if Mike was right. In this hilarious family crossover, Evan is joined by wife Kelly Meyersfield and their son Beckett Sage to dive into reacting to Mike’s reaction. From superhero skepticism to sports-radio grumbles, the trio breaks down Francesa’s classic rant with their own hot takes, clapbacks, and unexpected insights. Evan even invokes an article from his Dumb Stuff book claiming Mike would actually be his dad. It’s Superman meets suburbia meets sports radio legend. Buckle up for a fun, family-fueled ride. Plus, Kelly’s brief reaction to the Coldplay Kiss Cam phenomenon.

Owen Alabado is an actor, comedian, singer, dancer, martial artist – in other words, a Renaissance man. Hear how this Wisconsin native was drawn to theater, moved to Los Angeles and is currently kicking butt back in Wisconsin. He also talks about his comedy and he and Evan retrace their steps on how they met. (2:40) Then, returning to the podcast for the first time since Episode 1, Beckett Sage stops in to give his Wrestlemania 37 predictions, even though he does not regularly watch wrestling. Beckett also ponders at what age he will be able to beat up his dad and what his finishing move would be to take him down. (35:11) A double dose of awkward!

This week SOCIALLY AWKWARD is the ultimate thrill ride as Evan welcomes fellow Theta Chi Fraternity brother and former WWE NXT (and current Reality of Wrestling) Announcer Chris Russo. (3:54) Hear how Chris got his start working (and bumping) for WXW, a promotion operated by The Wild Samaon Afa, and how it led to his announcing for WWE’s developmental entity FCW/NXT. There he got to work alongside Dusty Rhodes, William Regal and Jim Ross and call the early matches of current WWE superstars Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas.

Chris and Evan then go full Mega Powers as they break down the Wrestlemania 33 card (23:31), which features Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns vs The Undertaker and Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton.

Finally, after playing in the background the entire episode, four-year-old WWE theme expert Beckett Sage returns to SOCIALLY AWKWARD with his own Wrestlemania predictions and analysis. (49:30) That’s why!

Comedian Evan Wecksell (www.FunnyEvan.com) kicks off his “Socially Awkward” podcast by interviewing family. First Evan welcomes in singer/actress/writer (and wife) Kelly Meyersfield (8:00). First playing coy as to how they know each other, Evan and Kelly then discuss how they met, where they would like to move, Bachelor vs WWE and their son’s poop. Evan then brings in his four-year-old son Beckett Sage (38:30) who has over 3 million Youtube views thanks to his knowledge of WWE entrance music. Hear Beckett figure out what his real last name is and then cover rock band Thousand Foot Krutch’s song “War of Change.” It won’t get more awkward (or cute) than this.
