Evan takes you behind the scenes at the Bon Jovi: Forever (Legendary Edition) album preview at the iHeartRadio Theater. While phones were locked away, hear how the event played out as 104.3’s Valentine in the Morning interviewed Jon Bon Jovi for a revealing sit-down filled with stories, humor, and admiration for today’s artists. From chatting about seeing the new Bruce Springsteen movie with Bruce Springsteen to countless JBJ rest stop jokes, Evan recaps how some of the experience felt like watching YouTube (or being in the studio) with Jon Bon Jovi. Jon also heaps a lot of praises on the artists who join him on the record, including Lainey Wilson, Marcus King’s soulful verse, and the strings arrangement by David Campbell in “Seeds.”

Plus, Evan closes with thoughts on the Yankees’ season after being eliminated by the Toronto Blue Jays. What are the next steps? How can the Yankees get better? Evan has some ideas!

The title is not a typo:

In a Socially Awkward first (and probably last), Evan interviews two Facebook friends with the same name!! Welcome Kerri-Ann Wallace & Kerri-Ann Wallace!

What are each of their connections to Beverly Hills 90210? Which Kerri-Ann Wallace is from Riverdale? (And does she watch Riverdale?) Which Kerri-Ann is on sabbatical? Which Kerri-Ann works in ion implantation? Which Kerri-Ann has never been to a concert? Which Kerri-Ann named her cat after a Yankees pitcher? All these answers come to the surface, plus the Kerri-Anns share how people get their names wrong and how one Kerri-Ann struggled to get her name spelled right on her ID while at the DMV. It’s peak awkward and perhaps two people with the same name just became friends.

And to learn more about one of the Kerri-Ann Wallace’s embedding cremation, go to EspritDion.com.
