How Legion of Skanks Got Its Name - Luis J Gomez | Joe Rogan

I appreciate I don't give a fuck style more than any other style of comedy. For me, my favorite shit was like, first of all, Joey Diaz. But then when you go back to the greats, like Kinison and Hicks and this guy's didn't give a fuck. Yeah. They went out, they went off and it was the most fun to watch. As a person who was an audience member, for me, it was the most fun to watch. I agree. And I think, you know, that's, that's the shit that I get. It's, yeah, we grew up on that. And then society changes and I'm like, no, dude, I've been, I've been working on this for so long. Please let me, I have to change my entire like foundation of what I think is funny now. Because, and it's almost, and that's why I think guys like Legion of Skanks and the special. What did you guys name it? Legion of Skanks. Me and Big J. Okay. So Big J would constantly cheat on his wife. And it was like a regular occurrence and she knew it and everyone knew it. And one time we were there and then we were hanging out and we were about to leave. They were in an argument and she's like, fuck you. Why don't you go hang out with your Legion of Skanks? And me and Big J, we were both playing Guitar Hero at the time. That was like a big game at the time. We both looked at each other. We were like Guitar Hero name. And that was what we named our band. Initially Guitar Hero was Legion of Skanks. And then we're not that creative. So we wrote a script. How long ago was this? Probably 10 years ago. 10 years ago. 10 years ago, the name. And then that was the Guitar Hero band. Maybe even more. Probably more. Yeah, actually way more. Because it was right when me and Big J became friends. And then we wrote. It's a great name. Yeah. Legion of Skanks is a great name. It's probably one of the all time greatest names of anything. Right? You stop and think about like bands or television. Legion of Skanks. That is a great name. Thank you. Thank you, Joe. That's a great name. Yeah. Well, I got to give it a big J because he recognized it immediately. And then every project we ever did since then has been named Legion of Skanks until the podcast worked. It's a good move. Yeah. And it, uh, yeah, it's, you know, people know what they're getting. They get it, dude. They get it. And to be honest with you, people, people want that type of humor. That's the other thing is like, it's the new alternative. Um, is like dirty, edgier, ballsy shit. Well, it's what we were talking about earlier. Look, if you like punk rock, you should be able to listen to punk rock. But if you like the kind of comedy that some people like, aggressive, like outlandish comedy, you're like, if that's what you like, then you should be able to enjoy it or not. It's up to you. It's like, you don't have to like it. You don't have to listen. You don't have to watch. It's not that it makes you immune from criticism if people don't like it. But you know, it's everybody's got different tastes. That's it. And, and to be honest with you, if I wanted to sit here and deconstruct everything that could trigger me in life, I'm just not a bitch. I don't, I don't sit here and I'm triggered every moment by the amount of shit that I've seen in my fucking life. Everything triggers me. Everything triggers me. And every movie that I watch is, if there's some fucked up scene, I can go, Oh, that reminds me of some fucked up shit. But you have to appreciate those things. Don't you sort of want sort of everything to be represented?
