Episode 252 – The Hear 2 Zen Podcast
Guest: Jizmak Da Gusha from GWAR
This week, we dive headfirst into the blood-soaked, slime-drenched, planet-conquering chaos that is GWAR, as drummer Jizmak Da Gusha joins us ahead of the band’s return to Australia for Good Things Festival 2025.
It’s been 11 years since these intergalactic Scumdogs last terrorised our shores, and we’re asking the big questions:
- Where has Gor Gor been hiding all these years, and will he be safely contained for the trip Down Under?
- As the most monstrous act on the festival lineup, which other Good Things band would Jizmak invite to join GWAR’s set—and what unholy fluids would they get drenched in onstage?
- Is it true that Jizmak’s father was half pit bull, half badger, and half ice hockey goalie? (Yes, the math doesn’t add up, but neither does GWAR.)
- Life on “The Wide Wide World of Sports”—is it still just frisbees as far as the eye can see?
- Back in 2014 at Soundwave, GWAR famously decapitated then–Prime Minister Tony Abbott. What fresh ways does the band have planned to outrage the Australian public this time around?
- And finally, will the Scumdogs of the Universe embrace the fine Australian tradition of the shoey, or will they turn it into something far more… disturbing?
This episode is a chaotic collision of satire, sci-fi, and sludge, with plenty of laughs and just enough blood to keep things interesting. Strap in—GWAR is ready to do Bad Things at Good Things 2025.
More about GWAR
The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world…Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWAR proved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!
