🎙️ 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.

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.
