Transcript
- 0:44None. Wasn't everybody it's your boy
- 0:59EV with a late Night Live stream.
- 1:02I don't really have a chance to plot this out, but here we go.
- 1:08Felt I would jump on live and give a little discussion.
- 1:11This topic has been a minute coming.
- 1:14Thanks for being here. Appreciate y'all.
- 1:16Appreciate y'all. Skull Basher's here.
- 1:20What's up Skull basher? Good to see you.
- 1:22And Sean Parkin is also here. You know, there's a lot of stuff
- 1:26swirling around in the world right now.
- 1:28And everybody is not OK. People are not fine.
- 1:32So, you know, I thought it would be important to come on and, and
- 1:36talk about a few things. Benny is here also.
- 1:38What's up? Benny?
- 1:39Thanks for passing through. Oh, it looks like my Wi-Fi is
- 1:43sucking ass. Super cool.
- 1:47Let's see. Yep.
- 1:49All right. Well, we'll do our best.
- 1:52I thought it would be a good idea.
- 1:54The world is coming apart and what I'm trying to do is not
- 1:58make it worse. I'm definitely trying to help
- 2:00bring people together and clarify and explain things that
- 2:04you may not understand. Most people that cover music,
- 2:09heavy music, the majority of us are not trained journalists.
- 2:14They are. We are not free speech experts.
- 2:17We are not current events experts.
- 2:19Most music writers, reviewers, interviewers, reactors, reaction
- 2:24channels, Youtubers, podcasters. We're just opinionated assholes
- 2:28talking about the music we love, which you know, I get, I get and
- 2:33I understand. At the same time, you know
- 2:38people have funny notions about. And now I'm back, all right?
- 2:50And the other Wi-Fi channel doesn't do any better.
- 2:53All right, whatever. Hopefully it gets better.
- 2:58So lots of crazy shit going on in the world, and I thought that
- 3:01would pop in and talk about it because the Internet is blowing
- 3:06up. I'm not here to overtly be
- 3:09political. I think people who follow the
- 3:11channel and our website, goescultman.com know my usual
- 3:16political leanings, but I'm going to wade into this and
- 3:21Silent Deco is here, Sonic worshippers here.
- 3:23I'm going to wade into the water and talk a little bit.
- 3:26I meant to go on earlier, but I had a doctor's appointment
- 3:28earlier. I had a bunch of tests and shots
- 3:30and other things. So I'm, I'm pretty beat up.
- 3:33I took a nap, I ate dinner, now I'm here.
- 3:37So you know, why are we here? Riot Fest was this weekend and
- 3:42this is the first Riot Fest we did not cover in a long time
- 3:44because our staff had some family issues and illnesses and
- 3:49we ended up canceling at the last minute, which kind of
- 3:52blows. But Gore played Riot Fest for
- 3:56the second year in a row and many times have they played Riot
- 3:59Fest and Gore is having a huge year and I'll talk about it in a
- 4:02second. I can't believe that in 2025
- 4:07people are not hip to Gore. Even as underground and weird as
- 4:13they are, they're still a very popular band.
- 4:16They have a lot of popular cachet in pop culture.
- 4:21Max is here. What's up, buddy?
- 4:23Good to see you a long time. No see.
- 4:25I think it's really important to discuss why everybody is
- 4:29overreacting about Gore and what Gore does.
- 4:31And Riot Fest, the absolutely batshit reactions to what Gore
- 4:37did it. Riot Fest, Jesse's here.
- 4:38What's up? What's up?
- 4:40What's up? So, you know, gore must be
- 4:44destroyed is a thing, by the way.
- 4:45And so, you know, gore must be protected is what I wrote is the
- 4:49headline for this post. And we're going to talk about
- 4:51Gore. We're going to talk about
- 4:53freedom of speech. We're going to talk a little bit
- 4:54about Jimmy Kimmel and what happened there.
- 4:56We're going to talk about the FCC.
- 4:59And you know, what actually is, is going the fuck on.
- 5:08Incidentally, one of the number one searches in in Google and
- 5:11social media today is, is satire.
- 5:14Freedom of speech. And you could argue satire is
- 5:18almost one of the most important elements of freedom of speech.
- 5:22And a lot of people whip around the amendments.
- 5:25They think the Second Amendment blanketly, you know, tacitly
- 5:29means they can have guns, you know, a whole arsenal of guns at
- 5:32free will. Blue Igar is here.
- 5:37And the same thing with freedom of speech, the 1st Amendment,
- 5:39people don't actually really understand what it is.
- 5:42So I'm one of the rare breed of music reviewers and critics that
- 5:46is an actual trained journalist. I also played in bands for a
- 5:49long time. I also was an actual journalist.
- 5:52I also work, I work in marketing media and social media.
- 5:55So I understand all these things.
- 5:57I feel like I have a a sophisticated mind and mentality
- 6:01for this stuff and a lot of people don't and a lot of
- 6:05overreactions on social media because today everybody is like
- 6:09knee jerk reaction left and right, right.
- 6:11So ride fest play was this weekend.
- 6:14Great festival in Chicago. Like I said, we've been honored
- 6:17to cover it many times. And just interestingly enough
- 6:23that Gore played and Gore does what Gore does.
- 6:26They're entertainers. Everything they do is sat there.
- 6:28They are dressed up in costumes they made themselves, spraying
- 6:32fake blood, piss and urine and and cum on the crowd.
- 6:36People show up in white shirts to get covered in this gross dye
- 6:40water. And Gore is one of the longest
- 6:43running institutions in heavy music.
- 6:45They started out as a punk band. My other podcast has done an
- 6:49extensive review of Gore's early albums.
- 6:52And, you know, I think it's very important to talk about these
- 7:00things. So, you know, Gore does what
- 7:04they do. They eviscerate politicians,
- 7:07celebrities, whatever on stage. They cut them open and they pull
- 7:11out their guts and they spray fake blood and come and pee on
- 7:14everybody. And Gore has their own fan base
- 7:17called Bohabs. There's a Gore bar in Virginia.
- 7:21Gore is having a huge year with a new out, a multimedia release
- 7:25album with They just did, You know, we'll talk about all the
- 7:28things going on. They have a museum exhibition
- 7:30right now happening in Lai think until the end of October that
- 7:34we're trying to get down to and cover.
- 7:36But like, the whole Internet lost their fucking minds about
- 7:42Gore beheading, you know, a cutting, eviscerating Trump and
- 7:48beheading Elon Musk. This is something they do.
- 7:50They did it to Biden, they did it to Obama.
- 7:52They did it to Bush Junior. They did it to Bush Senior.
- 7:55They did it to Clinton. They did it to Hillary.
- 7:57They did it to Kamala. They do it to everybody.
- 8:00Gore is Gore. People don't understand.
- 8:03And then people coming for Riot Fest and clapping back on Riot
- 8:07Fest, who you know, they are a long way.
- 8:10They need to cut the federal funding and Riot Fest.
- 8:12So it's like ha ha, ha ha ha federal funding.
- 8:14We are independent music festival and we partnered with
- 8:17the city of Chicago for 20 years.
- 8:19This was the 20th Riot Fest. They're not get they're not
- 8:22going anywhere. But people like attacking Riot
- 8:24Fest and attacking war Riot Fest that had Blink 182 and Green
- 8:28Day, two of the most popular bands in the world.
- 8:31Again, Green Day, obviously also very political.
- 8:35So just that was the back story of why I wanted to jump on here
- 8:39between Kimmel and Trump and the FCC and all these things and why
- 8:45we need to actually rally around and protect war because they are
- 8:48an institution. They're an institution in heavy
- 8:51music and punk rock and metal. So just for some minutiae or
- 8:58some minutiae, I usually have a live stream menu if you guys
- 9:05want a tip. I'm gratefully appreciative of

- 11:05interviews, major rumors and all the crazy drama from the week,
- 11:10all the new music you need to pick up as a metal and rock fan
- 11:13and so much more. So I'll be back tomorrow with
- 11:16more, but I just wanted to jump on briefly and talk about
- 11:19ryfest. So here's ryfest.
- 11:21I'm going to in big in this. So like this is the lineup for
- 11:23ryfest. Blink 182, Weird Al, Alkaline
- 11:27Trio, Riley Kylie, Not Loose Pogues, Weezer, Sex Pistols were
- 11:33dropped off because of injury to Steve Jones.
- 11:36Beach Boys, Jack White, Dropkick Murphy's James.
- 11:41I didn't know they were even back doing music.
- 11:42Green Day, Idols, Jawbreaker, Bad Religion.
- 11:44So a lot of punk rock, some metal, some hardcore.
- 11:50Riot Fest is actually one of my favorite things I've ever done
- 11:53as a journalist. They treated me exceptionally
- 11:55well and just really cared for us and I had a great time there.
- 12:00This was the first year we didn't get to cover the
- 12:02festival. It's just a bummer.
- 12:03We tried everything and just stuff got in the way with
- 12:06illness and family stuff. And so it just could not happen.
- 12:09But we'll be back next year hopefully.
- 12:12And this takes place every year. This is the 20th year.
- 12:15This takes place in Douglas Park in downtown, in the middle of
- 12:19Chicago, basically in Douglas Park, the Southeast Chicago,
- 12:24nice neighborhood, easy to get to, A little bit of a
- 12:28clusterfuck if you stay till the end of any night because
- 12:30everybody's leaving at the same time, but still a great time.
- 12:34So Gore plays for the second year in a row, and Gore does
- 12:37what Gore does. They put on a show.
- 12:39This is a picture from 2018 that you're watching if you're seeing
- 12:43his loot. Z is here.
- 12:44What's up? What's up?
- 12:48So, you know, when you're talking about Gore and Ryan Fest
- 12:51and Jimmy Kimmel and all these controversies and freedom of
- 12:53speech and why freedom of speech is important and why satire
- 12:56especially is important to protect.
- 12:58So, I mean, this is not new. Gore does this at their shows.
- 13:01They have characters that come out on stage.
- 13:03They cut them apart in the middle of the song.
- 13:05They spew blood, pee and cum on everybody.
- 13:08It's all fake, obviously. And Gore are mutants from Antar,
- 13:12you know, Uranus and they landed in Antarctica and the here on
- 13:15Earth to smoke crack. Fuck whores and party down.
- 13:18That's what Gore is. That's what Gore has been since
- 13:201985. And people who are mad about
- 13:23Gore just performing and entertaining are fucking stalked
- 13:28and idiots straight the fuck out.
- 13:30So this is from 2018. So Trump presidency won where
- 13:34they skewered him and they were doing this to him well when he
- 13:36was on The Apprentice. You're fired, Donald and then
- 13:40they decapitated Elon Musk. I would have photos of this had
- 13:43we covered the festival and you know, again, I just like you
- 13:47know, it's satire. This is not Ryan Festus is far.
- 13:50It's a family friendly event. If anything, it's far from
- 13:53demonic and evil. Core is funny and fun.
- 13:59So you know they put on their regular show.
- 14:01Here's just some other pictures from across our whole history.
- 14:04Gore decapitating other people. Here's Netanyahu who they cut
- 14:10open and killed. Here's Blothar the Berserker
- 14:14shooting blood out of his many cocks.
- 14:17I think he's got like 7 or 8 cocks, like cow letters except
- 14:20Dicks. And he shoots blood on everybody
- 14:22from it. And, you know, Gore has been a
- 14:24DIY enterprise their entire career, even though they've been
- 14:27on Metal Blade. They've also put out a couple of
- 14:29records that are last few independently.
- 14:32Jason Pathetic is here with Jason.
- 14:34And so, you know, this is what Gore does.
- 14:38These are images again from across, you know, again, here's
- 14:40another year of Gore we covered. I mean, yeah.
- 14:44So then why is why are people upset about Trump and Elon
- 14:47getting, you know, skewered for satire?
- 14:53Probably Ragnarok sack. Why is everyone you know
- 14:57obviously we had like the last couple of we've had a psychotic
- 14:59break in the country anyway where we have everything is very
- 15:02politicized right and I'm not here to talk about politics.
- 15:05Mostly I think anybody that's watched our channel knows my
- 15:08politics pretty on front St. how we do things here.
- 15:11It goes cold, but being said, obviously the brouhaha with
- 15:17Disney, ABC, whatever, bowing down to the FCC chairman and
- 15:22pulling Kimmel and then Kimmel coming back on last night and
- 15:24just going, you know, being sincere in his apology of which
- 15:28he really, you know, whatever, didn't say much wrong.
- 15:32But the the whiff of impropriety has gotten people clutching
- 15:35their fucking pearls, you know, really fucking weak, really weak
- 15:42sauce. And, and there's a reason why
- 15:44and the number one search result on social media today and on
- 15:48Google, I'm a marketing expert. So this is my domain is, is
- 15:52satire free speech. And not only is satire free
- 15:55speech, it's one of the most important parts of free speech
- 15:58to protect. So Jimmy Kimmel came back on
- 16:00last night, they worked it out. Disney lost like maybe 3-4
- 16:03billion dollars of subscribers and and business in a few days
- 16:07and they saw what the clap looks like.
- 16:09And honestly, most conservatives would tell you freedom of speech
- 16:13is one of the most important things for them.
- 16:15And you absolutely can't. You know, if you even Ted Cruz
- 16:20away find deplorable is a horrible person, a terrible not
- 16:24leader, not a fucking good senator, nothing.
- 16:27He was like if we start clamping down on free speech, it's going
- 16:30to go very bad for the Republican Party.
- 16:33He didn't even say conservatives.
- 16:34He said the Republican Party. So you know, when Ted Cruz is
- 16:37coming out and I'm agreeing with him, you know, something's wrong
- 16:41in the country. So you know, again, I'm I'm sad
- 16:43that Charlie Kirk was killed. Nobody should be murdered for
- 16:47their, you know, beliefs. Good, bad, and different, even
- 16:51hateful people. The 1st Amendment protects
- 16:55satire. It protects politics.
- 16:57It protects dissent. It does not protect blatant hate
- 17:01speech. I don't think you're skewering
- 17:04Elon Musk, who is just inherently a funny and terrible
- 17:07person. The richest guy in the world is
- 17:09worth making fun of. The President of the United
- 17:11States, whoever that is, whatever party they serve is
- 17:13worth making fun of. We cannot allow the government
- 17:16to clamp down on media now because media is now controlled
- 17:20by huge corporations. There's a weakness there
- 17:23inherent. This is why monopolies are a bad
- 17:25idea, because basically such two companies want to merge and
- 17:28they're worried about upsetting the president.
- 17:30You know, just fucking soft. Just soft shit that has no place
- 17:35in American life, honestly. But OK, so Kimmel is back and he
- 17:38you should go watch his comeback speech and hear what he has to
- 17:42say instead of judging him. And people trying to clap back
- 17:45on Rife, as, by the way, Jimmy Kimmel is.
- 17:47If you love rock and metal, Jimmy Kimmel is the number one
- 17:49guy to have rock and metal on his show.
- 17:52Jimmy Fallon loves rap and pop music and a little bit of rock,
- 17:56but not really. And, you know, nobody else
- 18:00really has a forum for big metal and rock people to come on and
- 18:03be on TV. Jimmy Kimmel is hosted
- 18:06Metallica's charity concert three years in a row.
- 18:08He'll probably do it again this year, you know, really.
- 18:12So, you know, Kimmel is a guy we should be, you know, you know,
- 18:17you went a long way from doing Dick and fart jokes to to being,
- 18:20you know, the the host of late night.
- 18:22And even Bill Maher, who I don't like, was like, hey, Jimmy,
- 18:26people came out from all across all walks of life, all over the
- 18:29world. And Bill Maher was like, hey,
- 18:32remember when I got fired by ABCI, turned around and had the
- 18:36most successful run of my career leaving ABC, They said it would
- 18:39never work again. So, you know, good for you, you
- 18:43know, but just to continue, here's a map of where you cannot
- 18:46watch Jimmy Kimmel right now because of next star and
- 18:49Sinclair, you know, who will not carry his show.
- 18:53It's quite a big swap of the country, including whole states
- 18:55in some places or where major major metropolitan centers are.
- 18:59But you know, I just want to read this.
- 19:02This is from Google, literally. Satire is a highly protected
- 19:06form of free speech in the United States, especially when
- 19:09it targets public figures or institutions.
- 19:11As a tool for political and social commentary, satire is
- 19:14considered a key component of robust public debate, and courts
- 19:18have consistently protected it from legal challenges such as
- 19:22defamation and copyright infringement. the US Supreme
- 19:25Court has established that satire is protected speech and
- 19:29generally cannot be the basis for a defamation lawsuit
- 19:32provided that is not presented as a believable fact.
- 19:34Which again, nobody would take a believable fact from Gore or
- 19:37comedians, late night comedians and hosts, right?
- 19:42There's a landmark case in 1988, the People Hustler versus Jerry
- 19:46Falwell. The people versus Larry Flynt
- 19:48movie talks all about this. And the Supreme Court
- 19:51unanimously ruled in favor of Hustler magazine and it was like
- 19:54the most conservative Supreme Court of all time until now,
- 19:58which had published A satirical and ridiculing televangelist
- 20:02Jerry Falwell. I believe they alleged he fucked
- 20:05his mother. Any who.
- 20:11That's the short the short part of it.
- 20:13And again, the, you know, the for the for the people that say
- 20:15that they don't want to, you know, they don't want to bow
- 20:22down to censorship and and you know, they don't want government
- 20:26to be interfering in public life.
- 20:27Well, here's the FCCA, not elected board and, and a
- 20:31commissioner coming in and, you know, telling people, you know,
- 20:38who can and can't be on the air. So yeah, like here's the news
- 20:43release of the commissioner of the FCC talking about Kimmel's
- 20:47reinstatement September 22nd. So it's 2 days ago.
- 20:50CC Commissioner Anna Gomez issued the following statement
- 20:53after Walt Disney Company made the decision to return to the
- 20:56air The Jimmy Kimmel show on ABC.
- 20:58I'm glad to see Disney find its courage in the face of clear
- 21:01government intimidation. More importantly, I want to
- 21:04thank those Americans from across the ideological spectrum
- 21:07who spoke loudly and courageously against this plate
- 21:09and attempt to silence free speech.
- 21:10It will continue to be up to us as citizens to push back against
- 21:14this administration's growing campaign of censorship and
- 21:17control. As this FCC considered steps
- 21:20that would let same billion dollar media conglomerates that
- 21:23caved in the government pressure grow even bigger, we must come
- 21:27back these efforts to stifle free expression.
- 21:30I will keep fighting to protect consumers, promote a healthy
- 21:33media ecosystem with a viewpoint of diversity, and ensure local
- 21:36broadcasters have the independence to stand up to
- 21:39government threats. So I mean, like, this is real
- 21:43talk. This is real talk.
- 21:45This is a threat to democracy. You cannot let people get angry
- 21:51in their feelings about Gore making fun of Trump and Elon.
- 21:56Scott, what's up, buddy? I'm good.
- 21:58I'm on here talking about Gore and freedom of speech and Jimmy
- 22:01Kimmel and stuff. I'm OK.
- 22:03I had a long day at the doctors. Lot of lot of waiting around.
- 22:07Skin Graph records has passed by.
- 22:08What's up, Scooter, what's up? I see you here on Instagram.
- 22:11I just looked away for a minute. I got my very first flu shot
- 22:17today. Hopefully I'm not asked
- 22:19tomorrow. I have a busy day.
- 22:21So yeah, like this is really important.
- 22:23And and again, Gore has and has always been about satire.
- 22:26If you don't understand that, you are fucking stupid.
- 22:29If you want a better explanation of all of this that's probably a
- 22:32little more illiterate than I am, I highly recommend the
- 22:35channel New Rock Stars on YouTube or the New Rock Stars
- 22:38podcasts that Eric Voss is the host and the, you know, the, you
- 22:43know, Co founder. And he did a really great take
- 22:46on this. He did a take about Colbert
- 22:48being cancelled by Paramount. He did a big take about Kimmel.
- 22:51And he's got a very cogent explanation about why this
- 22:55stuff, you know, Disney was involved, obviously, as the the
- 22:58owner of ABC. And so like, you know, it's
- 23:01really Yep, Yep, I know, buddy, I know.
- 23:05It's it's important to protect war because they have been at
- 23:10the forefront of satire their entire career.
- 23:13And it's really important. And just to talk a little bit
- 23:16more about Gore's way wind this down and they give you all back
- 23:18your evening. And Gore's a brand that makes
- 23:21toys. They have a beer, they have a
- 23:23bar, they have a museum exhibition going on in LA right
- 23:27now with their whole history. There's a documentary, This is
- 23:30war. It was showing on Shutter.
- 23:32They have a toy line. They just did, you know, here's
- 23:36a saw blog Destructo leaning against the Porta potty.
- 23:39I understand, bro me too. Me too.
- 23:43I understand totally. So yeah man, you know they have
- 23:50dildos right now. Somebody is coming on a gore
- 23:53glow in the dark dildo either in their ass or their vagai or
- 23:56other holes. I mean, you know, they were
- 23:58selling these at their shows. So I mean, this is not a band to
- 24:02take seriously. They were never meant to be
- 24:04taken seriously. People are not only sensitive,
- 24:07dude. It's absolute weak sauce.
- 24:09And I will give ultimate props to Riot Fest.
- 24:12So people tried to clap on Riot Fest.
- 24:15Yeah. Look, I mean, look at this
- 24:16beautiful crafted dildo. This is supposed to be odorous.
- 24:20Urungus's Dick the Cuttlefish just made in a dildo for him
- 24:23with a very sturdy base. So you can either suction into a
- 24:26wall or the floor and grind on it or whatever I am.
- 24:29I don't know personally, but that's what I've been told.
- 24:32They they're very effective and they vibrate and they stimulate
- 24:35good shit. Life is too short not to come
- 24:37every day and clearly a lot of these people angry are not
- 24:41coming enough because they're bit they're not busy coming so
- 24:43they're busy fucking keyboard war warrioring.
- 24:47It's not a word but you know, fucking stupid.
- 24:50Just absolutely get you know, check your fucking medications,
- 24:54check yourselves. You are absolutely ridiculous
- 24:56clown shoes and props to Ryan Fest for fighting back people.
- 25:00You're evil and I in Jesus name we need to save these people.
- 25:0450,000 people went to Ryan fest and they're all sick.
- 25:07It's like, dude, Gore is really smart and this is, you know, I'm
- 25:12personal friends with Gore's publicist and let me tell you,
- 25:15this is going to help everybody Googling Gore Spotify in Gore's
- 25:19music and be like, oh, fuck this.
- 25:21And you know, literally their publicist is probably jerking
- 25:26off right now. He's so fucking happy that this
- 25:29happened because this is the absolute best publicity for a
- 25:32band having a humongous year with a museum exhibition in LA
- 25:35on tour right now, which I'll talk about in a second.
- 25:39Like you'll have a new album and multimedia release out in a
- 25:42graphic novel and a plushie toy of Gore Gore.
- 25:45I mean, you know, just people are fucking stupid, man.
- 25:48And if we let them push us around and do this to Gore,
- 25:52they're going to do it to everybody else.
- 25:53And you wonder why your favorite death metal albums with gnarly
- 25:56fucking, you know, eviscerated crazy shit on the cover is not
- 26:01allowed in half the countries in the world because of censorship.
- 26:05Because it's offending them to see guts and blood when you know
- 26:09that most death metal is fucking a joke, including even grind
- 26:12core and porno grind and bizarre shit that you know is fixated on
- 26:16dismembering people, especially women and children.
- 26:19Who gives a fuck? It's all a joke.
- 26:21Horror movies. People are not watching horror
- 26:23movies and going out and killing people.
- 26:25It's it's proven facts. So again, gore toys, gore
- 26:29dildos. And I think about my buddy Odora
- 26:32Sirongis, Dave Brockie, who died going back quite a while now
- 26:381213 years ago and and ghost cult has two of the last ever
- 26:43interviews with Odorous Aurangus.
- 26:45I took this photo. This is actually one of my
- 26:46favorite photos I've ever taken of odorous.
- 26:49This was at the Wang Theater in Boston is a beautiful gold leaf
- 26:53renovated vaudeville theater with, you know, the like velvet
- 26:59and beautiful carpeted rugs and they papered and plastic the
- 27:03whole fucking place to keep the gore shit from happening
- 27:07everywhere. Broadway shows happen there.
- 27:09Bruce Springsteen has played there in his one man P, you
- 27:11know, guitar and piano show whatever.
- 27:14And I did this. Yeah, Man, George is one of the
- 27:17sweetest fucking people alive, right?
- 27:19He gives all his toys to charity and hospitals.
- 27:22He's just adorable. Have you ever met George Crunch
- 27:24Grinder, A Fisher? He's lovely.
- 27:27Even. Even fucking Barnes, who I met
- 27:31even though he was kind of a weirdo and like ditched me for
- 27:36some interviews which made me salty.
- 27:41You know Curtis, absolutely right.
- 27:43These times are worse than the Tipper times.
- 27:45Unreal. Fuck right?
- 27:47That is 100% fuck yeah right bro.
- 27:50But I took this picture of Odoris and I think about what
- 27:52Odoris would say and it's similar to what George Carlin
- 27:54would say. Fuck these people.
- 27:56These people are anti American, they think they're down for
- 27:59freedom but it's fascism and the real true test of a villain is
- 28:03the villain thinks they're the hero.
- 28:05And a lot of these people are villainous.
- 28:06They're not about freedom. I'm about freedom.
- 28:09No, you're not. If you don't appreciate public
- 28:12discourse, satire, and jokes, you're all fucking idiots.
- 28:17And that goes across any party. If you if you're offended by
- 28:21Gore, you're a fucking moron. And if you're a metal head, even
- 28:23if you don't like Gore, you need to be aware of this.
- 28:26Because if they can come for Gore, they can come for all your
- 28:28other favorite bands next. And I don't want to see that
- 28:31shit happen. I've been in this shit for too
- 28:32long and I don't want to see this shit happen.
- 28:35Anyway, here's Gore's comic book.
- 28:37It's awesome. The return of Gore.
- 28:39Gore with a plushy doll and a a comic book narcissism.
- 28:43I mean like textbook narcissism, malignant narcissism, as you
- 28:46know I love to say, and self righteousness.
- 28:48Absolute fucking bullshit. But thank you Curtis and Scott
- 28:51for your awesome comments. And again, Gore just did this is
- 28:56Gore at the Smod Castle with Kevin Smith.
- 28:58Holy fuck. Life achievement unlocked Kevin
- 29:02Smith has been like taking the stories of my whole fucking Gen.
- 29:05X life and telling them over across movies.
- 29:08Dogma is coming back. I'm sure the death threats and
- 29:10bullshit will happen there as well.
- 29:14And so yeah, they just did the Smodcastle and so Gore's on tour
- 29:17right now. You can catch them.
- 29:20I believe they again, this was their first handful of dates.
- 29:23People are going to protest them just unfucking real.
- 29:27And I thought about, you know, there was a bunch of Disney and
- 29:30ABC protests, but I didn't have rights to the photos so I didn't
- 29:33want to share them. Helmet gore, helmet dwarves and
- 29:39blood vulture. The return of gore Gore tour
- 29:41featuring gore, gore, gore, gore and more.
- 29:44I mean, this is poetry. Gore is got a couple of days
- 29:49off. They're in Sacramento for
- 29:50Aftershock next weekend and then the tour kicks off the rest of
- 29:54the way. Salt Lake City, Southwest, West
- 29:59Coast Canada, northern Canada, down to Colorado, Nebraska,
- 30:04Texas, then North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Maryland,
- 30:08Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Philly, New York and Norfolk, VA
- 30:12Basically a hometown show for Gore, who is from Richmond.
- 30:17And that's our show. Thanks for.
- 30:20I don't really get on here and do a lot of soapboxing lately,
- 30:23but you know, man, thank you so much for supporting me and
- 30:27letting me do what I do. I will be back tomorrow

- 30:40If you're new here and you like this show, thanks and like and
- 30:43subscribe. I appreciate it.

- 30:47California vicinity and you want to go see the cult death, cult
- 30:50failure and patriarchy, who needs to not the band, but
- 30:57patriarchy. The patriarchy needs to get
- 30:59smashed. Patriarchy.
