Show Notes Episode 383: I Didn't Go to Satanic Medical School to be Called Mister
(Part 4 of Spooktacular 2022)
This week Host Dave Bledsoe demands his bar tab be wiped out as a religious observance to his new Church of Dave! (The bartender was an atheist and told him to go to hell) On the show this week we introduce you to the man who made Satanism modern and cool, Howard Stanton Levey! (He preferred Dr. Anton Szandor LeVey)
Along the way we learn about the first time Dave was called a devil worshiper and how much he was and is afraid of girls! (What a nerd!) Then we dive right into the exotic story of a boy, the circus and the Devil! (You can take the carnie out of the circus, but not the man!) We follow Anton LeVey from his humble origins of lying about his origins to his rise as a minor celebrity on the San Francisco OddBall circuit to his eventual formation of the Church of Satan. (Not really a church and didn’t even believe in Satan!) We take a look at Anton's philosophy and discover most of it is actually someone else’s philosophy with some spooky words and black cloaks. We chart the rise of the Church of Satan and the eventual decline of Anton LeVey when he discovered that most Satanists were just there for the black eye make up, the sex and the discounts at Denny’s (10% off all breakfast items at participating Denny’s in Northern California with proof of membership in the Church of Satan)
Our sponsor this week is the Church of Dave, believe whatever you want to believe, just donate to Dave. We open with a plea to be noticed by Senpai and close with Anton LeVey tickling the ivories!
