Whoop whoop
LOL at the Drake comment
ICP had a march and managed to make it LESS violent then January 6.
My favorite thing about Violent J is how strongly he supports his daughter, who's a furry. Google: Violent J Furry Costume. Utterly wholesome!
That dig on drake though…😂
Incase anyone has not tried it, Faygo is that bad. Very sweet but that's expected. I do wish I'd gone to that icp concert and been in the Faygo Armageddon.
If you want a good idea of what the dudes are really like, there is a documentary on YT called When Deadbug Met the Duke. I'm not an ICP fan, but it really showed how relatable and human they are. Definitely haven't let fame get to them.
Fucking magnets, how do they work? I’m that guy.
Me, too
How dare you put me on the side of Juggalos. All kidding aside, this is what makes you, you. This episode is the best example of why I'm proud to support you, ACC. Thank you for your work.
Your delivery is absolute poetry. Love your work, my dude.
Wow...this was exactly the opposite of what I thought it was. Kudos 👏
Man, I really had to come to terms with some of my anti-clown bias listening to this one. Leave the Juggalos alone! <3
Saaaaaame
Fuck yes!
A 100% real intercom announcement from my HS principal, probably around 98-00: Attn students - there is an Insane Clown Posse concert this evening on Lansdowne st. If you go home through Kenmore, FIND ANOTHER ROUTE. I repeat: DO NOT WALK DOWN LANSDOWNE ST TONIGHT DUE TO THE INSANE CLOWN POSSE CONCERT. Have a good day!
Hell yeah. Grew up in the 90s/00s as a stoner in the Midwest - ICP was absolutely a part of my adolescence. Recently saw them at a music festival in Florida and the festival was not prepared for the Juggalos.
'...and a Whoop-Whoop to you, good sir.' 🎩👌
I'm always interested to learn more about the gospel of Wicked Clown Love - whoop whoop!
Whoop whoop
Is this one of the rare episodes with a happy ending? 😏 I also didn't get into their music but I respect the message. Well done, ICP
Exactly what I thought! The upside closed and I was wondering if I missed something. My beloved Swindled podcast ending on a happy-ish note? And to hear ICP talk about marching for gay rights was unexpected. Positive, but not what I thought those two stood for.
I never cared much for their music and the people I’ve known to be hardcore fans of theirs never really stuck around. That said, I respect the duo for standing up for their art and their fans. I’m not gay, but would march for their right to make gay music.
Incredible. I have a friend who took a $400 cab ride to see ICP in another city (Canada is large) and he is not in any way a Jugalo. I love bringing that up to him. It’s very funny. Great episode!
Going through the hardest time rn and this new ep brightened my day so much
Hope things get better for you soon 💜
lol 😂 good ol ICP those guys literally lived in the same neighborhood I grew up in and were those guys trying to get a record deal . Primos pizza 🍕 days the best pizza place in the neighborhood. ICP and myself loved that place. Unfortunately it burned down after we all moved on. Jugalos or whatever is something I nvr understood but it’s a thing still so guess they got a longevity outta the whole thing… well played ICP
Can you "get a woop woop"? Noop, noop. Not on this one.
👍
Your podcast aren't updating on pocket cast for some reason
Pocketcasts is slow.
18:36 that's me lol
Brian. 😂
Raise your Faygo high!
Man I can't wait for this one
Excuse me?
Certainly not what I was expecting, but I'm here for it
Oh shit, this should be good...
