Jake Johnson, one of Evan’s newest Facebook friends, just won a contest to open for Bon Jovi on February 18 in Nashville, Tennessee!!

Hear how he found out, when he started playing guitar, who his musical influences are and, most importantly, what are his Bon Jovi songs. Jake also addresses doubters who think he got the gig because of his connection to the band.

Jake proves he is a hard worker who approaches his career with the right attitude… and he would like someone to buy his mom and stepdad’s house in Utah.

The Cubs just won the World Series so Evan interviews his Facebook friend from Chicago, Darcy Rojas, to recap the magical night! Where was she? What were her emotions during Game 7? Where is Steve Bartman?

Darcy is also a huge Bon Jovi fan so she talks about her favorite Bon Jovi albums, songs and the time Jon Bon Jovi let her and her friends into their intimate radio concert. Evan then counters with the time he followed Jon into a hotel bathroom.

Evan gets in the Bon Jovi time machine with two of his favorite Bon Jovi fan friends!

(28:48) Evan and Kelley then comb through their favorite songs/albums in the Bon Jovi catalog (shoutout to These Days) and compare their hauntingly similar encounters with Jon Bon Jovi.
