Celebrity - Evan Wecksell

For the first time in over 4 years, Bon Jovi is back on tour, playing nine sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City. With so many fans flocking to the Mecca, Evan brought on longtime fan Lynn DeJulio Felton (@joviredhead) who took in night 2!

How was the show? What was the atmosphere like? How was Jon Bon Jovi’s voice following vocal surgery? And what came with the Legendary VIP package?

All that plus watching some clips from the show, talking Richie Sambora and sharing how waiting until the last minute to get seats on Ticketmaster can prove fruitful! On a steel horse, let’s ride!

Ryan Manno is the co-host and producer of the Ellen K Morning Show on KOST 103.5 in Los Angeles. Fresh off his Monomania surprise birthday party, he joins Evan to break down all the matches and try to pinpoint the vibes going into Wrestlemania Vegas. How will the Pat McAfee addition play out? Will CM Punk or Roman Reigns reign supreme? Also, Jay as well as Kelly Meyersfield jump in to share their wrestling shirts, google Liv Morgan’s hematoma and Brock Lesnar’s hulkish daughter… but mostly they look on in boredom. Ryan and Jay will also be at Wrestlemania Saturday and will go to a special meet and greet brunch. Batton down the hatches. It’s Wrestlemania!

The post Knicks Superfan, Musician, and Digital Creator DUGLUST (SA Ep163) first appeared on Evan Wecksell.

This episode Evan welcomes Star Wars fanatic, pop culture maven and fellow Great Neck, Long Island native Spencer Jawitz. After the initial Great Neck nostalgia, Spencer and Evan break down how each of them raved about the new Running Man movie starring Glen Powell. From the Easter eggs to the messaging, Spencer shares why this movie hit the mark and how he has a connection to cast member Katy O’Brian!

Then they dived into everything Star Wars as Spencer is the co-founder of Virtual Cantina Network (VCN), an online community of Star Wars fans over 100,000 strong! Spencer then gives a primer of how all the additional Star Wars content fits in with the theatrical releases. He also recalls his visit to George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch and a big upcoming announcement of Star Wars convention in Los Angeles in 2027.

Spencer also mentions how his passion for Star Wars has supplanted his involvement with pro wrestling. However, that didn’t stop him and Evan from talking WWE’s TKO era, an upcoming Wrestlemania in Saudi Arabia, John Cena’s retirement tour and LA Knight.

Get ready for an episode chalk-full of entertaining and insightful takes that make it less awkward, but more geeky.

Last week tickets for Bon Jovi’s Forever tour went on sale. And they were selling so much that shows had to keep being added. However, with Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing and long queues, success was mixed for fans.

Hardcore Jovi fans Michele Bloom, Chantel Griffin and Jerry Braden all join Evan to debrief on their ticket buying experience and the overall fan reaction, sharing a mix of anticipation, excitement, but some dismay.

Also, with Bon Jovi as popular as ever, but no current fan club, the fans wonder how the fanbase can regain that sense of community that initially brought them together. What would it take? Who’s going to run it? 

Plus, have these fans ever bought Bon Jovi tickets from a scalper? And what are they most looking forward to this upcoming Bon Jovi tour?

With a fan summit on the level of the World Economic Forum, this episode is a must listen for hardcover music lovers who want to stay connected to their fellow fans and the band that they love – FOREVER!
