I talked trickle down theory and supply side economics with the Reaganomics. JK, we talked about punk rock and scary movies.

I caught up with Josh Caterer of Smoking Popes shortly after the band closed down T1 Fest at the Forge in Joliet. We talked a lot about the Popes’ music, the live show and when mispronouncing names is an issue….

Dan Vapid’s punk rock resume is massive (Screeching Weasel, Methadones, Riverdales, Sludgeworth, Queers, etc.). He jumped in the car with his band, the Cheats, to talk about how the Cheats came into being, the end of Screeching Weasel, and more.

Joe and Jimmy from Capgun Heroes opened Day Two of T1 Fest, and also happen to be the brains behind the festival. They explain the very personal reason for launching the event, and what we can do to help.

We wore our fat pants for the recording. No regrets.
