Erica Sandberg is a standout freelance writer in San Francisco who contributes to 12-15 publications at a time! Having met Evan when she interviewed him during his political run, Erica reconnects to discuss the state of California, the job-killing law AB 5 and an open letter she wrote to San Francisco restaurants to whom Mayor London Breed has turned a blind eye. Plus, the time Erica went undercover to see how many syringes she could score in San Francisco in one day. And towards the end, the question she asked Evan that set him into a rant.

Anthony Zenkus is a tireless advocate for the welfare of children, families and communities. Working in the field of family violence, relationship violence, sexual assault and child poverty, he has trained thousands of professionals and community members across the country on how to better recognize, prevent and respond to abuse and neglect. Some of that expertise helped Anthony go viral last winter when the Trump campaign sent out a video of him speaking on Joe Biden. The ironic part? Professor Zenkus is not even a fan of Trump’s. Hear how that all played out as well as how he and Evan met due to Anthony’s other life as lead singer of the band Joe Lies. They reminisce on Munchaba Lounge, the Long Island music scene, WLIR and so much more!

Evan talks with Mike Netter, one of the lead organizers of RecallGavin2020.com and one of his newest Facebook friends. Who is the primary driving force behind this recall? What does Gavin Newsom have in common with Gray Davis, who was recalled in 2003 (and led to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger)? How does a recall work? Is the governor also socially awkward? Mike breaks it down and explains how easy it is for you to help!
