Evan celebrates the arrival of new old [or old new] music from Bon Jovi & Jack’s Mannequin. Bon Jovi is re-releasing their album Forever, but featuring duets with such legends as Bruce Springsteen, Jelly Roll, Joe Elliot, Robbie Williams and Avril Lavigne! Jack’s Mannequin is celebrating 20 years since the release of Everything in Transit with a new “Strings Attached” EP. It’s Bon Jovi with friends and Jack’s Mannequin with violins! What stands out to Evan? Was he all in on both projects? How does Evan compare Andrew McMahon to Richie Sambora? All that and Evan breaks down the new Bon Jovi single “Red, White and Jersey.” No, this isn’t Matt Pinfield or Carson Daly, it’s a comedian, albeit musical comedian, talking rock / pop / adult contemporary!

Lori Broslovsky is a Jersey girl who stops by to talk about her favorite band: Bon Jovi. Lori and Evan do a deep dive into everything Bon Jovi! They recap the reaction to their latest tour, lament the continued absence of Richie Sambora, and give their favorite non-mainstream Bon Jovi songs. Plus, they share their experiences meeting the band and how every time that’s happened to Evan, he’s made an awkward idiot of himself. And has Lori seen her final Bon Jovi show? All that and more.

In honor of Lori’s appearance, buy the Bon Jovi coffee table song When We Were Beautiful on Amazon!

For the second time, it’s Tommy Savas‘ first appearance on SOCIALLY AWKWARD. After accidentally not saving their first interview, Evan corners Tommy at his house to talk acting, video games and how they shared the same stage. Hear how Tommy booked a recurring part on The Sopranos, how he and his friends got their film Bad Roomies onto Netflix! Plus, to pique Evan’s Bon Jovi fan curiosity, did Tommy ever have a girlfriend named Gina? All that and how Reckless Tortuga dominated a 24-hour film festival. It won’t be Worse Than Vietnam.

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.

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. How is Mark doing since Mike’s final show? Where does he see Mike ending up? How did he discover Mike & The Mad Dog? All that plus hear the time he was interviewed by Mike in studio on Fox Sports! 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).

In a stroke of all-time randomness, Evan interviews Luis Aguilera, Cassidy Turner and Morgan Evans, students from Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) whom he met them at a NACA (college programming) conference in Hartford. Now his Facebook friends, Evan sits down to chat with them about such topics at Luis’ college radio show, his septum piercing, tattoos, Cassidy’s time abroad, and Morgan’s love of Jon Bon Jovi (who performed at FDU’s graduation last year). We are Jersey Strong this week and we’re down with FPC (yeah, you know me)!
