The awkward ‘bro hugs’ that will forever define our relationship: Smoking Popes at 350 Fest (Episode 178)

I’m joined this week by a Car Con Carne favorite: Smoking Popes! Half the band jumped in my car outside the annual 350 Fest in Tinley Park. Usually, I’m restricted to interviewing one Caterer brother (Josh). For this momentous occasion, I had two Caterers in the car (Josh and Eli)!

Discussed in this episode, sponsored by Boost Mobile:

    • The world’s most awkward bro hug (“I sensed a reticence on your part… there was no torso contact”).
    • I’m terrible at the handshake thing.
    • The hug issue is in no way tied to childhood trauma.
    • WHAT WOULD BOOTSY COLLINS DO?
    • Why do the Caterer wives hate me?
    • Am I a bad influence?
    • Why are the Smoking Popes like the Avengers?
    • The new Smoking Popes album, due in October.
    • The beauty of indie wrestling.
    • The early days when Smoking Popes wore costumes on stage.
    • They performed at 350 Fest for ailing brother Matt Caterer.
    • I CAME TO TINLEY PARK TO SNUGGLE.
