If Rev. Susie the Floozie's "Bob's" Slack Time Funhouse spun off Hour of Slack (which was preceeded by The Puzzling Evidence Show), The Lymph Node Institute was by far the best of several Funhouse spin-offs. This example proves it. Prepare to use your brain in a new, albeit not NECESSARILY better, way. Probably better. The music and ranting between songs -- just perfect!

Dimed OutSeason 3, Episode 10 - The Church of the SubGeniusAlright gang, this week we're taking a look at the Church of the SubGenius.
What started off as joke that became a pamphlet that became a parody religion/weird fringe cult, The Church of the SubGenius is quite the thing to behold.
From the pursuit of slack, the origin of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs and the constant fight against 'the conspiracy', to the prophecy of X day and beyond.
This episode discusses the church's origins, it's dogma, it's culture jamming philosophies and traces its absurd journey through space and time, wh...2021-08-0551 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastTHE FINAL AND GREATEST X-DAY SHOWRADIO SAFE! And it's a rerun, a real oldie. Hour of Slack #535, 1996. It's WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON X-DAY, in excruciating detail. It features what may well be the most forceful (and informative!) rants ever delivered by both Rev. Ivan Stang and Dr. K'taden Legume, sermons recorded in moments when those worthies were totally caught up in the thrall of "Bob" -- divine messengers, as it were, helpless to do anything but preach the hardest truths of SubGenius Orthodox Dobbsian doctrine. Punctuating these heart-staking sermons are some of the most intensive so-called "Media Barrage tapes" from the 1980s, especially segments...2021-06-231h 04The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastReturn of SHERIDAN - SubGenius Barrage #3RADIO SAFE! But perhaps as evil as it is good. The mysterious Cleveland artist that calls itself SHERIDAN has provided yet more Show fodder, and it comes at a good time as we are preparing to leave the planet, for good this time. This is a true media barrage, a little of everything that you mostly have never heard before, or heard so long ago -- like at the age of six or seven -- that you still remember it vaguely. Sheridan also does his disturbed radio DJ bit some. "Station WWYN" he calls it. So, strap your headphones...2021-06-1758 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastSubGenius History (Rerun of #1154)During the many SubGenius radio shows on various stations in 2008, we reminisced about old times and the most horrifying moments of the real-life SubGenius adventure. We saved those bits for this show, which ties in with Stang's SubGenius History / Cult Management online course that was then at Maybe Logic Academy (maybelogic.net).

Also: ESO Swamp Radio in the muddy, muddy flesh, The Firesign Theatre from Dope Humor of the Seventies, The Rudy Schwartz Project's Sunshine Supershits, Captain Beefheart, The Psycho Skeletons and Tenacious D.

Started in the 1980s, but really in the 1950s, the church has had a growing number of member since it was founded. Some of those members are even big named celebrities.

The amazing things about this episode are the special guests: three of the key early SubGenius Doktors were all somehow in Dallas that week. We had just done the Scary Ball Devival at the Twilight Room with Drs. 4 Bob. The oldest known SubGenius, Dr. G. Gordon Gordon had come for that... from BRAZIL.

The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastCautionary Tales of the SubGeniusWe start with Part 2 of Rev. Xister's rather sober collage "Ship of State." Uncle Onan Canobite presents two Cautionary Tales of the SubGenius (from 21X-Day), and we get a brand new somewhat sardonic song from Bob Walkenhorst from his new Patreon outlet (just a tease, as it's a subscription and you haven't subscribed yet). There's also a new RSP instrumental and a pretty old prank call from "Melba" to Bob Larson's Christian-cartoon talk show.

Other music includes Liberty Tubes, new contributor RadLab, Rev. Richard Negative, and The Slot Rods.

First 20 minutes are uncannily timely songs from new CDs by The Slot Rods, John Shirley and The Liberty Tubes, plus some great LeMur collage and a couple of very strange rants (?) by Rev.

"Bob" Dobbs and the Church of the SubGenius" has only been shown at three film festivals, but every showing has been very successful in terms of turnout, audience response, and SubGenius Doktor approval. EVEN PAUL MAVRIDES likes it! EVEN DOUG WELLMAN!! These are the pickiest possible audiences! Stang and Sandy Boone are greatly relieved.

Susie the Floozie pointed us to some very novel video/audio mash-ups on YouTube, especially some by Bill McClintock -- expert combinations of popular music from disparate periods in time and styles. Smushed in between those are excerpts from fired-up SubGenius devival rants (Stang and ESO from 2000, and Pope David Meyer from 1983) and Bold Surrealist radio shows such as Puzzling Evidence, Time for the Show (with Dr. Philo Drummond guesting) and the Maul-Brujaja duo.

Following that: the last 8 minutes of Dr. Philo Drummond on the Puzzling Evidence show before he left California. And then, as threatened, more of that horrible Time for the Show show, where Stang had to call in using his laptop and sketchy wifi, which made for weird drunken-sounding time lags.

The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastThe Testimony of the OverManThis Hour of Slack is actually SOMEBODY ELSE'S SHOW, an hour-long interview with Dr. Philo Drummond. Last summer, our friend Rev. Snappy Twig recorded this historic interview -- historic because you hardly ever get to hear Philo without other radio doctors jumping from subject to subject, and I think it better reveals the way Dr. Drummond's minds work now, and worked when the SubGenius outreach was first being planned. Rev. Snappy Twig, under his human street name "Sean," has a podcast called "SHARE A SLICE WITH SEAN", which you can find at shareaslicepodcast.com. His web page for this...2019-02-1459 min

Bleepo whips out a Firesign Theatre-influenced "radio bit" he did in 1979 with The Duke of Madness, a Boston DJ at the time, and premieres a new Bleepo Earworm.

With a general running theme of, well, Sex SubGenius Style, it's a mash-up of The old ESO Swamp Radio, Puzzling Evidence, and rants and music from the Winterstar devival, plus an amazing live recording from an Austin devival of the SubGenius supergroup Booger 9000 (members of the Swinging Love Corpses, The Rudy Schwartz Project, and Homicidal Briefcase) performing an amazing medley of Neil Diamond and "Dancin' With a Hard-On" by The Swinging Love Corpses.

Legume often guested on both Prozak Free Radio with Ed Strange and on Chas Smith's ESO Swamp Radio. Rant subjects include Butthurt Bobbies, The Planet of Broken Glass, and False Christians; at the end, he turns into a whale.

The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastTribute to the Late Dr. Legume - Part 1It's true. Dr. K'taden Legume has Boarded the Saucers. This time it's for real. His passing has left a Dr. Legume-sized hole in the fabric of the SubGenius Universe, and we're vainly trying to fill it with this tribute, replaying some of his classic sermons, rants and radio call-ins from over the last 26 years. This bonus-length Internet version features his complete, uncut 1996 World Tour devival rant in Madison, his 2002 Akron devival sermon, his amazing performance at the 2007 Baltimore show, the 2011 X-Day preaching on SubGenius Butthurt, and some very weird call-in moments from Chas Smith's old ESO Swamp Radio show...2018-12-061h 07

We have songs old and new by Rev. Bleepo Abernathy and Morgan Gutentag, plenty of old-school Media Barrage, the spirited Burning of "Bob" at 21X-Day with a spontaneous chorus of Nenslo's classic hymn, "Take Me Off to Space," a review of the Netflix show Peaky Blinders by Stang, a very weird Eddie Romanov rant read by Stang, and a tribute to online trolling...2018-11-211h 04The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHeaven and Hell, Uncut, from Revelation X First DraftThis is a rerun from 1993 of Episode #414, when Stang got caught with his pants down without special prepared radio-ready edits, at the station KNON in Dallas... so, between music cuts, he read long stretches of the uncut, first draft version of the Hell chapter from the second SubGenius bible, Revelation X. Much of this revelatory material about the Afterlives and Beforelives was subsequently cut from the chapter for security reasons, so this is the first time that those early basic censored holy SubGenius tenets have been re-revealed in 25 years.

Project ArchivistEp 254 The return of Ivan Stang and the Church of the SubgeniusThis week we finally have the return of Reverend Ivan Stang of The Church Of The SubGenius and the host of the SubGenius Hour Of Slack. We talk about the early history of the Church Of The SubGenius, how they got involved with DEVO, J.R. Bob Dobbs as ancient alien theory, Planet Nuburu, The Singularity, Monster Hunter, Flat Earth theory, The Hollow Earth, The Future of X day and so much more.

"Bob" Dobbs himself-- a bizarre hybrid human-alien device/homunculus intended for use in directly communicating with the Xists themselves! The deeply disturbing story behind the device's assembly -- which involved Dr. Legume exhuming a corpse, and worse -- is first told to the crowd of astounded SubGeniuses by Legume.

Some of those later became CDs, but not the first one. Tonight we're excerpting Media Barrage #1, edited in 1981, when there were but a few dozen self-declared SubGeniuses on the whole planet. Only about eight or nine of them were on this ancient tape: Rev. Stang, Dr. Philo Drummond, Puzzling Evidence, LIES, Glassmadness, Pope Sternodox, Dr. Snavely Eklund, Hellswami Satellite Weavers, Janor Hypercleats, and the late Dr. X.

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.

Susie the Floozie's collage work jumps in and out between choice chunks of the Puzzling Evidence Show, ESO Swamp Radio form the turn of the century, and some astounding commercials by The Lymph Node Institute genii. The dependable old SubGenius Media Barrage tape #5 had also recently been digitized and was scavenged thoroughly. Altogether it is a cross section of SubGenius radio in its prime fighting condition. Highly recommended and produced.2011-01-2059 min

This is the annual traditional Xmas Re-Rerun of #867 (& 921 and 1026, 1077, 1129 and 1236), which was itself a condensation of some ancient year's 3-show "Best of Xmas Sickness" compilation, which were themselves the concentrated best-of from 15 years' worth of previous Xmas SubGenius and other Xmas weirdo collections.2010-12-151h 01
The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1280 - Great New Music by Various SubGenius ArtistsI, Stang got busy with my online SubGenius History/Cult-Running class this week, and we suddenly came into a lot of really great, previously unreleased music, so this is one of those "Sons of Zappa" mostly-music shows that we produce now and then. LeMur, The Large, Sudasana, SlanderBob, and Mr. Rection provided many collages, and our frequent caller Bernard is represented, but mainly it's a new/old Rudy Schwartz Project album -- new to Hour of Slack anyway -- and an incredible CD by some folks we met last X-Day Drill, who assemble ear-ripping music under the name RAINBOW...2010-10-2959 min
The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1270 - SubGenius Old Pro Show - Dr. Hal, Dave, Susie, Philo, Stang13X-Day Drill, July 3, Conspiracy Year 2010 - we recorded an Hour of Slack show on stage before a live audience with Dr. Hal, Rev. Susie the Floozie, Dr. Philo Drummond, Lonesome Cowboy Dave and Rev. Ivan Stang. Except for Puzzling Evidence, these are the SubGenii to blame for the three hoary SubGenius radio shows that have been on the air for decades -- up to three decades, in fact. That show is intercut with new collages by Rev. Heart Ignition, sermons from 13 X-Day by Rev. D. Lister and Rev. Richard Skull, and a jam/song by 6 Fisted Tails of Connie...2010-08-2059 min
The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1261 - Live 6-13-2010 - SubGenius Church NewsWe start with some particularly mind-bending collages
and three "killer" (heh heh) end-of-the-world songs by J. Coulton,
C.O.G. and Saint N. The brainworm "Snot Mouth Tweedle" by The Rudy
Schwartz Project is played at the end, with an incredible cut-up by GoDrex. The
rest is rather hyper live yakking by Lonesome Cowboy Dave, Rev. Stang and Wei,
covering the usual several hundred subjects, including X-Day, the
documentary GOD'S CARTOONIST, the Starwood Festival and its new date and
location, the death of the biosphere, and an important announcement regarding The StangDoe SubGenius
Employment Agency. 2010-06-161h 00The SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1237 - Live SubGenius New Year Special - Lonesome Cowboy Dave & StangDoe predict 2009Recorded live on December 13, 2009 at WCSB-Cleveland. We start with
some Christmas-y songs and collages, and then pretend that it's already
2010. Rev. Ivan Stang, Princess Wei R. Doe and Lonesome Cowboy Dave
recap the major news events and deaths (and extinctions) of 2009 in
surreal detail. Contains news of upcoming SubGenius and roller derby
events, Stang's microlife update, semi-lucid banter, SubGenius Xmas
songs, and the first known recordings of the actual voice of Tater
Gumphries. Batteries not included. Some assembly required. Action
figures sold seperately.2009-12-3059 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1236 - SubGenius Ultimate Xistlessnessmess Mix Rerun SpecialWhat are the holidays without reruns? This is the annual

which was itself a condensation of the previous year's 3-show "Best of

pledge drive or "Radiothon," and we at Hour of Slack love this one
single time each year, when we are able to legally grub for money just like
regular Christian evangelists. You see, the stations that carry Hour of Slack
are all public-supported and thus we can't exactly advertise. Even during
pledge drives, we can only grub money for the station. And boy, do we! Because
this episode may be aired by other stations, and because the WCSB pledge drive
is already over, we have reversed or cut the Cleveland phone...2009-11-1759 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1230 - Rerun of #374 - Revelation X UncutThis is a rerun of episode number 374 from early 1993,
when we were still in Dallas. We have lots of recordings on hand from the recent
devival in Portland, but we are in the middle of a somewhat larger SubGenius
project and rather than edit those new cuss-filled rantings, we're saving time
with this fine rerun, which includes readings from REVELATION X, the SubGenius
book that was in progress at the time. Incidentally, there is now an archive of
mp3s of hundreds of old, uncut Hours of Slack from the 90s, free for
downloading, and if you want to check...2009-11-1059 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1229 - Show Collision - Rerun of #344 from 199217 years ago! This one is a mix of recordings from
various SubGenius shows at various stations, including KPFA's Puzzling Evidence
and Cleveland's WCSB from long before the SubGenius Foundation moved to
Cleveland! You'll hear people who have long since been unpersoned, and much
younger voices of people you now think of as old. There's also some great kook,
prank-call and Bad Music material for the bulldada collectors. Hopefully you
will be inspired to donate to the WCSB.org pledge drive coming up next week. We
could all use a donation, actually. DID I MENTION that there is a SubGenius
devival...2009-11-0459 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1192 - SubGenius Marriage & The Forbidden Topic / Winterstar 09Half of this was recorded on Valentine's Day at the SubGenius devival at Winterstar Symposium, Feb. 14 2009, Rev. Ivan Stang at the pulpit. A mass SubGenius marriage is performed near the end, but mainly it features a completely new rant called "The Forbidden Topic" by Onan Canobite. The other half is new songs and collage, and radio, by Puzzling Evidence, Rev. Phineas Narco, Dr. Philo Drummond, Dr. Hal, Rev. Sweetness McGee, Mister F. LeMur, The Large, Dr. Sinister, the British show Right Where You Are Sitting Now, and Lonesome Cowboy Dave. And an all-star broadway cast. Winterstar was a gas, by...2009-02-2059 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1189 - Live 1-25-09 - SubGenius Hints in Pink Media, Rock and Roll Hall of FameThis live and lively show will probably sound to most regular listeners just like any other completely insane live Hour of Slack broadcast from WCSB in Cleveland. However, we have done a fairly good job, in behind-the-scenes editing, of hiding the fact that that particular Sunday night, there happened to be some startling new glitches in the brand-new studio CD players, glitches which made our carefully-prepared support recordings usable only in the most extreme SubGenius way. So it's a good thing we're SubGeniuses.2009-01-2759 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1142 - Rerun of #42 - 1986 Show Composed of Other SubGenius ShowsA rerun of Hour of Slack # 42 from August 1986, first broadcast on KNON Dallas, with clips of SubGenius shows from WFMU in New Jersey with Syster Krys, from KPFA Berekeley's Puzzling Evidence show, from Rat Cave's Serious Abuse show from WBCE FM in Richmond VA; and the the SubG Asylum of AntiPinkness - which was Rev. Bleepo Abernathy and Ahmed Fishmonger in Boston, Massachusets.2008-02-2959 minThe SubGenius Hour of Slack PodcastHour of Slack #1134 - Amsterdam SubGenius Devival 2007 Pt 1We're standing under the Overtoom, in a subterranean pirate radio basement station in Amsterdam, Holland. Dr. Hal is here, and Princess Wei, Pope Black, and Governor Rocknar, and a number of humans or SubGeniuses wearing Dobbsheads masks, making the whole scene look like some kind of warped, twisted Fellini movie. Yes, it's like living in a foreign film. Everything is there except the subtitles; and oh, how I miss the subtitles, which might explain to me what the hell is really going on here. But, of that I remain ignorant, as perhaps you too the listener. All we can do...2008-01-081h 00
