Hour of Slack #1523 - Farewell to Phil Austin

60:10

This episode of The Hour of Slack is dedicated to the late Saint Phil Austin of the Firesign Theatre, who boarded his escape saucer June 18, 2015. Featured are some Austin-centric clips from one Feb., 1970 Firesign Theatre Radio Hour Hour, followed by a sometimes touching discussion of how critical The Firesign Theatre was to the Church of the SubGenius. Stang, Dave and Doe also relect upon the influences of other great inspirators of SubGeniusdom, like the underground comics, Zappa, Harryhausen etc. The scandalous question of just how much pot has been smoked on the air over the years is addressed. Also, we are very excited about X-Day and Starwood.

Stang on first time he heard TFT album, w/ theater kids - "This must be what pot is like." Thanks to TFT for life. Owe also to undergound comix, Zappa, Harryhausen, 3 Stooges, RAW, Warner Bros cartoons, Mammy & Pappy, Philo - inestimable unending list. "Bob" loves the sin but hates the sinner -- tater

Dave calls in - Dave on TFT - Bergman a Cleveland lad - the great Comedian in the Sky. How Stang got news via Mavrides via Proctor. There's nothing like what Firesign did - they predicted everything, yet without computers? Prefered by our social circle - The Firesign Clones at Starwood. Dave was one but Rosenbaum fired him. Dave's recollection of parties with Firesign albums. Stang on their complex plays vs their life radio improv. All their shows available on book/DVD THE DUKE OF MADNESS MOTORS (Seeland) and Taylor Jessen. Stang reads interviews with Phil Austin and Peter Bergman re: smoking pot (or not) on the air. Great Austin quotes re: hippie ethos and Firesign. Smoke pot and make 900 albums. Planet Proctor. Austin recollections re: pot vs. Bergman's recollection. Can't get show like that today? Sirius cancelled them. Dave's gov't implants that turn druks into Firesignists. CAN still do that kind of radio - Stang lists HoS stations. Strange Dave rant, how unusual. TFT and radio drama of 40s and 50s, The Goon Show. TFT material ages extremely well. The Bickersons and Amos and Andy. Kids these days don't know of olden radio. We're forgetting X-DAY! Merely the upcoming minor event called the end of the world? Stang's saucer will look like Wisteria for Starwood. Dr. Hal coming. The bands of X-Day. Poo Water Towel. The "Bob" dummies for burning, sexing. WeiMawMaw and her goat. Pufferdome devivals at Starwood. Starwoodfestival.com. Way down on the Ohio River. Ohio weather ruined wine and fruit industry. Frolicing and throwing peaches, all now illegal - stay indoors and obey. You can more than just hug a tree out there. Dave saw a Pump Up Jesus show on Christian TV. Jesus fan club give Him a bad name. Show ending, tear-jerker Phil Austin song.

NOTE: THE HOUR OF SLACK is released in two versions.

The X-RATED "INTERNET VERSION" contains all original "fucks," "shits," "God damns," etc., and this is the one which is downloadable from SubSITE and which is sent to individual subscribers OR non-American radio stations.

All American radio stations (except WORT, Madison) are sent the "PG RATED CENSORED VERSION," which has the Bad Words either reversed, bleeped, or replaced with the spoken word "Bob", depending on what works best.

The Church of the SubGenius Radio Ministry seeks to brainwash you totally into abject lifelong subservience to The High Epopt and Living SlackMaster, J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Rap Song lyrics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm0bxybYVdg

Ft. Christopher Tung

VideoGameRapBattles

Welcome to the Arena

So nice to finally meet ya

We're here to extinct some elder beasts

Stick them in a museum

Slaying dragons with Great Swords

Bustin' beats on Hunting Horns

Slash and rhyme like the Hero of Time

I'm always quick to try force

Fight the prey all night and day

Cause I'm a Hunter

Hunter

I'm a Monster Hunter

Hunter

I'm a Monster Hunter

Now listen close as the monsters approach

Ya need some epic loot - I'm on the pursuit

Shoot 'em out of the sky and I'm hearing their cries

Ultimate combo rate, there's no escape

From the Primal Forest to the Great Sea

I'm always getting ingredients for my new recipes

We don't stand alone, my whole team's deployed

Gunning down these clowns like something out of Metroid!

Put you underground like a Black Diablo

I'm the O.G., Sonic and Mario

Ya I'm on the quest to protect the terrain

Don't pray to no god, I just killed Rajang!

Cause I'm a Hunter

Hunter

I'm a Monster Hunter

Hunter

I'm a Monster Hunter

Entered Rage Mode, chargin' all my might

Every battle I engage in is a final boss fight

Make sure these beasts remain mythology

I'll come at you, don't care about ecology

I'm no defender, I'm a fire starter

Decked out in my Silver Sol armor

Bring death, try to flee, but there's no way you can

Bust a master on the track, like my name's MegaMan.

There's now more monsters than ever before

It's no longer a hunt, it's the ultimate war

Ninety-eight different beasts and I gotta stop them

Can't be overcome I drop the hammer on them!

Stand my ground, got the power of will

Not to mention an endless list of Armor Skills

Summon my alliues, I'm a minion caller

And you'll see the gore spill when I slay Magala!

On top of my game, scaling Heaven's Mount

I'm the last one standing on my slayground

It's survival of the fittest, when the world needs saving

They say Man shouldn't play God, good thing I'm not playing!

Cause I'm a Hunter

Hunter

I'm a Monster Hunter

Hunter

I'm a Monster Hunter
