Evan welcomes viral digital creator and Knicks superfan Duglust to Socially Awkward. After celebrating the Knicks’ NBA Cup win, they dive into the state of the team, Tyler Kolek, Mike Brown, and whether any big changes are needed. Duglust shares how he ended up doing a video with Knicks celebrity superfan Ben Stiller, plus how wrestling and John Cena’s final match influence entertainment today. The episode wraps with Step Brothers–level friendship vibes, and the big questions: should the Knicks trade for Giannis and retire Carmelo Anthony’s jersey?

Neil Kelly was a student Mount Saint Joseph’s in Cincinnati when he hired Evan to play at the school’s spring concert. After 10 years they have reunited (while Neil is caught in a windy Covid-19 storm).

Evan gets Neil’s thoughts on the Democrat field, who was pushing for and how this will all play out as we live with the hysteria of Coronavirus. Then Evan recruits Neil to break down all the matches of Wrestlemania 36… without any knowledge of the current WWE product. Guaranteed awkwardness!

Amin Jai was hired by Evan back in New York about 15 years ago and now in their longest conversation ever Amin came to Evan’s house late one night to sit in his kitchen to catch up! Hear why Amin left New York for Los Angeles, what it was like being interviewed for a job by Evan and plus a whole lot of politics. Did we mention Amin is a proud black, pro-Trump Republican? Of course that means Amin has been shadow-banned on social media. Amin also gets into being judged as a black man. Pulling no punches on this one! (Sorry, Biden wrote that last line. Awkward.)

It’s a #SociallyAwkward Doubleheader!! First, off the breaking news that Mike Francesa, only 4 months after ‘retiring’ from WFAN, is returning to the station, Evan brings on non-Facebook friend, but Francesa expert Mike Colon of Mic’d in New Haven (4:00). He breaks down how this all went down and then Mike speaks about the time he was on the air in-studio with the king of NY sports talk.

Second, in their first conversation ever, Evan interviews Actor Joe Rittenhouse (25:30). They initially met when they both performed at Washington College. Hear about Joe’s acting career, how he’s travelled to 31 countries and why his path changed from politics to the arts. Plus, they have a candid discussion about comedy and how to be successful in this current overly-sensitive society. And did you know Evan plans to run for office?

How did he get there? Did his role at The Tufts Daily play a part? And did Evan and Dan ever meet in college? All those questions will be answered and then Dan will ask one question of Evan. Awkward guaranteed!

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).
