Not familiar with Warmbo but Socko is a sock puppet Bo uses in one of the songs. Here are Sockos lyrics
"The simple narrative taught in every history class
Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
Don't you know? The world is built with blood! And genocide and exploitation!
The global network of capital essentially functions
To separate the worker from the means of production
And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
Private property's inherently theft
And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
And every politician, every cop on the street
Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite"

Bo got better over the years.
Eh, I still can’t get through his special, still seems like douche
