🎙️ 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.

Ethan Ullman is a comedian and comedy show producer. Speaking for the first time since they joined forces at a comedy show at RPI (Troy, NY), Ethan tells Evan about his new Weird Al Yankovic podcast, aptly titled Dave & Ethan’s 2000″ Weird Al Podcast. Evan also reveals playing a fundraiser to raise money for Weird Al’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and how Ethan attended the eventual ceremony! Then they discuss the viability of virtual comedy, outdoor comedy and comedy in general in a ‘woke era.’ Plus, how people butcher Ethan’s name so much and why he loves Eastern Washington University. Super awkward!

It’s a #SociallyAwkward Doubleheader!! First, off the breaking news that Mike Francesa, only 4 months after ‘retiring’ from WFAN, is returning to the station, Evan brings on non-Facebook friend, but Francesa expert Mike Colon of Mic’d in New Haven (4:00). He breaks down how this all went down and then Mike speaks about the time he was on the air in-studio with the king of NY sports talk.

Second, in their first conversation ever, Evan interviews Actor Joe Rittenhouse (25:30). They initially met when they both performed at Washington College. Hear about Joe’s acting career, how he’s travelled to 31 countries and why his path changed from politics to the arts. Plus, they have a candid discussion about comedy and how to be successful in this current overly-sensitive society. And did you know Evan plans to run for office?

In honor of Mike Francesa’s 30 year run at WFAN coming to a close, Evan interviews Facebook friend Mark Baldwin aka @markmongo aka ‘Mark from Jersey’ aka a ‘yooge’ Mike Francesa fan.

Then, in a surprise swerve, Evan and Mark talk politics. Why did they both vote Libertarian in the last election? (It was for the same reason.) And does he think Trump will be re-elected? Also, before Mark came on, Evan welcomed back a returning wife Kelly Meyersfield to share her Mike Francesa thoughts (and impression).
