Distrusthorde: Sometimes when I'm sick or that's all I got to eat .
Oswald Knox: Hey, on your site you got a band symbol. It features the eastern philosophical symbolism of dichotomy, a balance of extremities. How does that relate to your band?
Distrusthorde: Well Shawn drew that up for a tee shirt design and I like it. So we currently use it as our symbol. The way the band is in conjunction , I guess we sound evil but all is not bad .
Oswald Knox: On top, there's a Thundercat looking guy, and on bottom, there's a David-Duke-looking Klansman type. What's that about?
Distrusthorde: He like to draw comic super heroes

Oswald Knox: Is that a Klansman on the bottom?
Distrusthorde: Ya I know , He's not really a Klans man just a hooded good guy.

Distrusthorde: Don't know him ? But sure!
Oswald Knox: Wait a minute.... you don't know Jeff Walker?
Distrusthorde: No , should I ?
Distrusthorde: Probably huh
Distrusthorde: Is that the fag priest ?
Oswald Knox: If there was a god, and that god wasn't dead and being slowly eaten by cow-sized, eyeless, leukocytic vermin in a pool of his own blood and urine, Jeff Walker would be the son of that god.
Oswald Knox: For Jeff Walker Is He Who Singeth For Carcass.
Distrusthorde: Ya that guy deserves a slow death
Oswald Knox: HUH? You don't like Carcass?
Distrusthorde: Carcass rules
Oswald Knox: So Jeff Walker isn't the guy who deserves slow death?
Distrusthorde: There actually a big influence of mine
Distrusthorde: No the gay priest should die
Oswald Knox: Oh, ok. I was gonna say, if that was your answer, you didn't even make it to the bonus round.
Distrusthorde: I listen to music I don't know all the names of my idols .
Oswald Knox: I don't know about the gay priest.
Oswald Knox: Who is he?
Distrusthorde: He's all over the news lately/ and the Georgia infernal funeral home to .
Distrusthorde: That guys really in deep shit
Oswald Knox: That funeral home thing is awesome. Cannibal Corpse could write like 10 albums off that.

Distrusthorde: OK
Oswald Knox: That's Miyagi, by the way, and no.
Distrusthorde: I spell shitty SORRY
Oswald Knox: George Fisher's neck size: The correct answer is - "No one has developed a tape measure that big."
Oswald Knox: Sorry, you owe the bank $1500 for that.
Distrusthorde: Ha
Distrusthorde: Sorry banks empty
Oswald Knox: Next... Godsmack: The answer is "Gay." "Gay."
Distrusthorde: For sure but I see them a lot and don't want to burn bridges
Oswald Knox: Onward. Jan Michael Vincent is the correct answer. You are awarded $1500 and some dura-strength condoms.
Oswald Knox: If I fought Sully Erna I'd armbar him in 13 seconds. Guaranteed.
Distrusthorde: Cool send em my way
Distrusthorde: Ya
Distrusthorde: He's only 4 ft tall
Oswald Knox: Next... "I like cats." The answer is "Cats are better than people."
Oswald Knox: Then he'd be hard to armbar. I'd triangle him.
Distrusthorde: Yes everything on earth is better than people
Oswald Knox: Question 5: You or 311..... you are correct, you would win, but Nick Hexum would still ask for a date.
Distrusthorde: Ya right I hate them
