Taryn Kristal is the founder of The Resolvancy – a divorce strategy and coaching firm, but to Evan she is the girl into whose locker he slipped a Peanuts card in the sixth grade. Now 3o years later, Evan gets her and her boyfriend at the time’s reaction. Taryn also discusses the power of music, her favorite musical acts and vocalists, her Rie & Ryn clothing line, the other Taryn Kristal in her life, what she thought of Evan’s theatrical wife during high school and other Great Neck nostalgia and name-dropping. Then, Kelly Meyersfield makes an appearance to table read a classic Mike Francesa radio call with Taryn as included in Evan’s dumb book “Mike Francesa’s Greatest Hits.” With a dynamic similar to Screech interviewing Kelly Kapowski, this discussion is chock full of awkward. #GoRebels

Evan interviews Actress/Costume Designer/Cool Chick Erica Howard. While they are actual friends as well as Facebook friends, they have never spoken for more than a minute. So listen as they peel back the layers. Erica talks about growing up in the Seattle area at the height of grunge, the role music has played in her life, plus speeding on Los Angeles freeways and working on sets as a stylist & costumer designer. Then, Erica tries to uncover why Evan is so mysterious. Or did she mean to say awkward?

Evan interviews Vin A from the Vegas show The Bronx Wanderers. Vin is also in his own solo band and thanks to a lot of determination and a little help from his friends, he won a local radio contest and is now opening for BON JOVI on Saturday, March 17 at The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. How did he finish at the top? What is he planning for Saturday? And what can we expect from Vin A after the Bon Jovi show? All those questions will be answered plus hear Evan’s wife Kelly Meyersfield make a cameo appearance so she can go into full Bronx Wanderers fangirl mode. May have been awkward.
