Published: July 27, 2015, 11:05 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 2 minutes 29 seconds Dr. Hal, Rev. Stang, the Lonesome Cowboy, and a mess of callers continue as guests on the second part of Dr. Sinister's Radio Synaesthesia from June 28, just before 18X-Day. The list of subject matters covered (on the text log at subgenius.com) is a couple of pages long, but as you might guess, both dinosaurs and low budget old sci fi movies are covered, along with eternal verities, inspirational real-life anecdotes, and a lot of smart-assery. The Paleo Diet and flying saucer sightings also get the treatment. And Rev. Ivan Stang once again reverts to his alter ego, the shriekingly angry teabucker redneck Yahoo-commenter inside him.\\xa0

Hour of Slack #1515 - SubGenius Breakthrough in Academia

Published: April 27, 2015, 6:30 p.m.
Duration: 59 minutes 23 seconds

\\n

Something new! Stang describes and reads from Rev. Lee Cipher\'s new SubGenius book: his PHD dissertation "Rhetorical Ripples: The Church of the SubGenius, Kenneth Burke, and Comic Symbolic Tinkering." It\'s wild! A serious academic look at the Church! Full of big words, but also lots of keen illustrations, with much rare stuff from Stang\'s online SubG History course at Maybe Logic Academy. After Lonecow Dave calls in, the conversation alters somewhat in nature, as has been known to happen, and becomes a Theological Hotline. Some of it is in reprehensible taste. The show ends with a pretty spectacular new, er, "song" by Rev. Bern Brijis. You would never know from listening to this that Rev. Stang had to repair three different malfunctioning station machines just before this show started.

Hour of Slack #1514 -- The Urinator's Prayer and Schrodinger's Baby

Duration: 1 hour 6 minutes 54 seconds Music by Drs. 4 Wotan, Mutant Mountain Boys, Max Slack, The Psycho Skeletons, Munky Hyv, and Rev. Phineas Narco. Crazy talk by Lonesome Cowboy Dave, Rev. Ivan Stang, Princess Wei "R." Doe, Dr. Howll, and Dr. Philo Drummond. The boys were feeling frisky this evening. Includes a shout-out to rev. peas. Stang also reads some Neal Stephenson and some Bobliographon.\\xa0

Hour of Slack #1513 - Hate of the Stang Brain

Published: April 16, 2015, 6:46 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 3 minutes 4 seconds This starts with SubGenius shout-outs by Timothy Leary, the Firesign Theatre, and Penn Jillette, which we put at the beginning for those who wanted to hear the old clips without having to listen to Hours of Slack. Then it\'s another cross section of best unreleased SubG DoktorMusic of the last few years -- but it\'s intercut with 1981 recordings of Stang\'s spontaneous hate rants, recorded in a car while driving to and from crappy jobs in the sweltering Dallas heat. This is the way Stang talked when not being restrained from saying anything that might offend dipshits. The original collection of rants was on a cassette tape entitled "The Hate of the Stang Brain." The great songs are by Munky Hyv, 6 Fisted Tails of Connie (misidentified in the credits by Stang on the show, who was rendered feeble-minded by anger that night), Andrew the Impaled with his uberclassic "Saucer Built for One," The Mutant Mountain Boys, and Rev. G. Don Trubey.\\xa0

Hour of Slack #1512 - The Poor Picked-On Christians

Published: April 7, 2015, 7:03 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 15 seconds Whooo-doggies, this one should hopefully piss somebody off. It was Easter and SubGeniuses had been writing and posting some pretty hot rants on the Scrubgenius forum, and Stang got to reading them on the air, including "Slack Is" by Rev. Dr. Shoggoth and "Easter is Freedom Day" by Rev. Biggerstaff. The first half is "New Old Bobsongs Best-Of, continued" with music by The El Queso All Stars, Max Slack, The Large, Jere Faison, Rev. Wilhelm Stahlhelm, The Mutant Mountain Boys, Phat ManDee and Rev. Du8. Once Dave calls in and it goes live, Stang, who had become somewhat irritable during the week due to reading the news nonstop, releases the Crazy Preacher Kraken against "Tealiban" Christians who have lately been playing the Oppressed Victim Card with the help of the most popular "news" networks. It\'s so sad that ignorant fat white Christian right-wing poebucker macho men are such an oppressed minority these days. Let\'s all weep for \'em.\\xa0

Hour of Slack #1510 - Choice Cuts of Puzzling Evidence + ToonTunes

Duration: 1 hour 7 seconds Lots of new music in this (Bern Brijis, Steev Inglish, Amoeba Knievel, Joe Zeziorski, Psycho Skeletons) and a truly gut-splitting sermon about Excremeditation by Dr. G. Gordon Gordon, but mostly it is some "Best of Puzzling Evidence" as selected by Rev. Baby Bear and Rev. Stang. The main spouters are Dr. Hal and Dr. Philo Drummond, and they do some killer verbal riffs about Church doctrine as well as a science lesson that you\'ll never forget, especially if you google the images they suggest!\\xa0

Hour of Slack #1509 - SubGenius Rants 'n Bands 'n Thangs

Published: March 16, 2015, 11:28 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 3 seconds

\\n

The WCSB studio phones were broken this night -- and so was the whole studio! Yet we broadcast anyway. The first half of the show features one song each by the bands that will perform at the March 21 Winterstar Ball in Cleveland: Rev. Phat ManDee, Muruga Booker and the Cosmic Hoedown band, Steev Inglish, Brian Henke, Mayan Ruins and Sister Melodious Chops (the band Wei is in). (The Ball is a benefit for ACE/Starwood and the late Jeff Rosenbaum.) The second half is Stang reading rants by Phineas Narco and The Good Rev. Roger, and twenty solid minutes of uncut Puzzling Evidence Show with Dr. Philo Drummond and Dr. Hal, with a very interesting discussion of the ins and outs of managing a sperm bank.

Body Image and Daylight Savings Time: Space Control Vs. Time Control

\\n

We were feeling frisky this time, possibly because of the Daylight Savings Time change that happened the night before. The opening 15 minutes includes some collages by a new contributor, Rev. Carlton, and a classic Father Joe Mama rant. "The LUV of "Bob." Also, the Wolfman gets counselling in a clip from THE HOUSE OF DRACULA. But then we go live, and Dave calls in, and it gets pretty darned cosmical and Time-Control-y. Stang reads a short rant on DST by Rev. Zafod. The marvels of Creationism are discussed at length. Dave reveals that he has the DNA of Jesus in him, which leads to a discussion of possibly isolating that God gene, cloning God, then sending Him back in time to stop the Big Bang from happening and thus allowing PURE Slack to continue forever. Or something. Oh and TUROK, SON OF STONE is fully analyzed. Yet another British hard rock version of THE BRAG OF THE SUBGENIUS is played.\\xa0

Hour of Slack #1507 - Project Archivist interviews Ivan Stang

Published: March 3, 2015, 4:11 p.m.
Duration: 59 minutes 46 seconds

\\n

We took a break to play this pre-recorded episode of somebody else\'s show! It was their idea, too. Last week Rev. Stang was interviewed for a podcast called PROJECT ARCHIVIST (projectarchivist.com). Since it isn\'t a SubGenius show, Stang actually EXPLAINS the Church of the SubGenius, "Bob" Dobbs, and everything else important. It\'s completely different from the "normal" Hour of Slack in that in this one, Stang barks almost the whole time, WITHOUT DAVE! There\'s some Lemurian collagery first, and then 48 minutes of the Project Archivist show. A song by Popess Pantiara and a Steaming Sack of Slack close the show.

Hour of Slack #1506 - Onan's New Sermon Meets Lonesome Cowboy Dave

Published: Feb. 26, 2015, 1:53 a.m.
Duration: 1 hour 2 minutes 10 seconds At first it\'s a fairly "normal" show (by Hour of Slack standards anyway). Then, seemingly out of desperation, Stang starts reading ONAN CANOBITE\'S DECEMBER 2014 SERMON. For 20 minutes, the show alternates between Stang reading chunks of the great ONAN SERMON and Dave doing his patented surrealist extemporaneizing -- altogether, an excellent combo of clever writing and pure Spouting. At the climax, the worst "Bob" song in the world is played! We apologize for NOTHING!\\xa0

Hour of Slack #1505 - Through the Trapdoor

Published: Feb. 17, 2015, 10:22 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 41 seconds "Things haven\'t really gotten any worse -- just YOU!" That was one of the cheery things that was said during the live part. For the first 22 minutes, however, it\'s a 35-track collage of everything from mean one-liners denouncing Stang to mind-blowing fake commercials by Rev. Bleepo Abernathy. (As always, see the track list at subgenius.com\'s Radio section for the endless details.) Lots of bits by LeMur, The Large, Norel pref (from the olden days) and there\'s even a song by Stang & Wei\'s grandsons! It would all be charming were it not so sick. Come to think of it, the live part delves into some pretty darned sick subjects indeed. This is one of those shows where you hear Wei say "Gross!" a lot.\\xa0

Hour of Slack #1504 - Searching for America (Live 2015-2-8)

\\n

Safe for Work -- if you work in a whorehouse, on a ship or at The SubGenius Foundation. Otherwise, NSFW! Every few months we stack up enough truly FOUL rants and songs to fill an hour that can NEVER be played on broadcast radio. Most of this one comes from ranters and bands at 17X-Day: 6-Fisted Tails, Rev. Teeters La Verge, Rev. McFachfas (read by Stang), Priestess Pisces, Rev. Eggplant, Rev. Rachel Wierdagain, Dr. G. Gordon Gordon, Evolution Control Committee, Rev. Susie the Floozie, and more -- with THREE Brags of Various SubGeniuses in it, including the original. Also: Several rank songs by the great band Reagan\'s Polyp, which has re-released their greatest "hits." Plus: Phineas Narco as Elvis! Lemur\'s least palatable collages are also included as seasoning. Coming soon: #1494.5 XXX with even more of this childishly naughty material -- "THE KIND U LIKE!"

Hour of Slack #1493 - MONSTER HUNT 17X-Day

Published: Dec. 1, 2014, 7:23 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 1 minute 36 seconds

\\n

This episode will blow the top off the SubGenius Church. The suspenseful hunt for the mysterious "Monster of Wisteria" climaxes in a revelation that may be too much for the staunchest SubGenius to accept. Where will the Church go from here? How can we just pretend it didn\'t happen? What would "Bob" do? You won\'t believe your ears, yet this explosive documentary (weeks in the editing) will shake you to your very core! The biggest question: Who, or WHAT, is now in control of the Church of the SubGenius?

\\n

\\xa0HA HA! STANGOR HERE! Now you hear how Stangor TRICK Little Weak Glasses Man Stang into hunting monster in woods -- Stangor even trick him into tricking all OTHER soft white fat SubGenius boys and girls into hunting monster in woods TOO -- wearing silly fake hunter armor!

Hour of Slack #1491 A - 7 a.m., July 5, ???? - Awaiting the Rupture at Wisteria

Published: Nov. 13, 2014, 11:25 p.m.
Duration: 1 hour 1 minute 42 seconds This episode takes you into the deranged and possibly deranging world of actual SubGenius life, up close and personal -- just like actually being at an X-Day Drill, only indoors and without the suffering! It is entirely composed of location recordings from July 5, 17X-Day at Wisteria, interspersing documentary audio from the tragic 7 a.m. gathering with a live stage Hour of Slack with Dr. Hal, Phat ManDee, Stang and others. (This required extensive editing - especially the "clean" version for broadcast stations!) The real co-star -- or perhaps super-villain -- of the morning gathering to meet the Saucers was Dr. Dark, the Church\'s diabolical Pun-isher General. Rev. Susie the Floozy also makes her usual unforgettable appearance. Also featured: a 6-Fisted Tails of Connie jam, and not only the destruction of a huge organ by the fearsome band Armneji Front, but also an explanation (!) of them by Rev. Susie the Floozy.\\xa0

Duration: 1 hour 2 minutes 5 seconds Because this is a WCSB-specific pledge drive show, it won\'t be sent to the other stations -- it\'s Internet-only. The show starts with 15 minutes of fabulous but less-heard Hendrix. Stang intros the pledge drive Clockwork Orange-style, and there\'s a surprisingly serious and informative discussion of that novel later, when Oddy-Knocky Cowboy Dave calls in. Interspersed are glowing promises of the wonders of pledging and all the keen glowing candy-like premiums (including 2 passes to Starwood Festival). The promise of a SubGenius Gold Card for the $50 pledge "draws donations like flies!" Donators are gossiped about and praised. The WCSB history of Houir of Slack is told; much shameful SubG trivia is revealed.\\xa0

This one won\'t be sent to the broadcast stations. After Hour of Slack #1490 A, we hung around the WCSB studio for another hour of Dr. Sinister\'s show Radio Synaesthesia, which allows other callers besides Lonesome Cowboy Dave. The discussion veers all over everything and leaves it all smelling funny. The subjects given the most attention are the movie ANT FARM DICK HOLE and the WCSB Halloween Masquerade Ball, which had taken place the night before. Stang provides some details about the SubGenius connections with both GWAR and Pee Wee Herman. Photos from the WCSB Halloween Masquerade Ball (to which we refer in detail in this show) are at:

We played the music first (with some great new collagies by Mr. F. LeMur) and then let our hair down on the air, with some old monster movie music heard faintly in the background. There\'s some last-minute election humor plus some propaganda by Rev. Ivan "Comrade" Stang. A SubGenius birth and a SubGenius death, both "IRL," are announced; Lonesome Cowboy Dave calls in, and from that point it\'s secret monkey factories all the way down. Musical bands include: The Amino Acids, Slackmaster Sarcastro, Pilgrim Speakeasy, Marc Friedman and Munky Hyv. See you on the Saucers, Pastor Phister Gaghol.\\xa0

Duration: 1 hour 2 minutes 5 seconds All recorded on location at Wisteria during 17X-Day Drill, and yet it sounds almost like an old murder mystery radio play. If only it were simply some kind of elaborate prank! Just before the sacred nude Bobtism ceremony (heard in all its naked glory), evidence of an apparent murder was discovered at the Bobtismal Pond. But where was the body? After the mangled pet, the couple attacked in their car, the weird footprints, the mole stampede, and other unexplained but increasingly sinister events at 17X-Day Drill, it had become plain that some person or some THING was on the loose and stealing not only Slack but possibly lives. We still have seen no sign of "Rev. Bastard," incidentally!\\xa0

Using a collage extravaganza, Rev. Stang illustrates and over-analyzes the peculiar similarities of certain odd toy franchises, especially Monster High, to the Church of the SubGenius. The monster-SubGenius connection is thoroughly discussed also in clips from Puzzling Evidence, X-Day Drills and the Ask Dr. Hal show. Even Billy Bob Thornton tells of his monster fandom experiences (which happen to echo those of Dr. Hal and Rev. Stang). Three marvelous children\'s disco monster songs from movies plus Lonesome Cowboy Dave\'s "Monster Club" provide a considerable change of pace from our, er, "usual" musical selections.\\xa0
