This week we’re joined by podcasting pro and Less Than Jake vocalist Chris DeMakes. Johnny and Chris take a blast to the past and reflect on their respective times on the Vans Warped Tour. Chris reveals how Less Than Jake ended up becoming a staple on the tour, and how it aided their longevity and relevance to a younger audience.
Johnny and Chris get into the world of podcasting, and Chris reveals how a simple phone call led to his hit show - Chris DeMakes A Podcast. Chris breaks down the psychology of his show format, and shares a few stories about some of his favorite guests including Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus, and the legendary Huey Lewis.
We also learn: how Chris’ on-stage outfits came together, why Less Than Jake shares something unique with Kool & The Gang, what happened that one time when Less Than Jake hired male strippers to a show, when we can expect some new Less Than Jake music, and most importantly of all - does Chris DeMakes know Brooks Wackerman?!
