"There he studied witchcraft, Satanism, and karate." How the fuck did you get through that sentence without losing it? Lmfao picturing this dude in wizards robes kicking little kids in the face in his class

Jeff Henry

This episode is one of my all time favourites up there with the Station night club tragedy and the oral surgeon who sold body parts. Vintage material.

Ken Smith

It's always so jarring when you figure out your homies are actually Professional Witches ™️

All my childhood was plagued by this kind of trash. I'm glad I found someone remembering it's all a lie made up by thieves and swindlers.

Glad my mescaline/LSD experiences were just the sex part and not face melting, nightmare, PTSD satanic ritual situation.

This whole episode was flashbacks to childhood raises on Chick Tracks and Warnke. Thanks, ACC, I'm going to get a drink.

Jenn Eiland

Is it weird that I didn’t realize he was a “Satan Seller” and not in a “Satan Cellar” 😅

Erin Rudy

Ugh😒...this dude suuuuuuuux

Vanessa Lucio

Solid Fantano reference.

Andrea Conner

An instant favourite! Excellent episode

Julia

Absolutely right, Jane S.

Michelle Hebert

"Oh hell YEAH" hahahaha...

Swunkie

Really loved this one. Always down to hear about people being full of shit while praising the dollar.

Sam

Came for Satanism, stayed for Soft Pink Sex

Philip

Sure, but his timeline was a 1980 takeover and Reagan was a satanic lizard who started the ball rolling.

Jane S

Had he lived long enough to see Trump, he might have finally gotten it right.

Michelle Hebert

Groovy, ACC, I really dig trucking through this reminder of 1970s lingo! It's a gas and really heavy!! Plus it brings back reminders of my past growing up in Evangelical and Charismatic (think Pentacostal lite) churches. I distinctly remember reading Warnke's book in 1974, when I was 13. So glad that era is over! But today is really no better -- we still have far too many people who fall for and believe bullshit conspiracy crap. There's Q-Anon; absurd myths that vaccines are a tool of the illuminati to cull the population; lies that babies are routinely killed after birth. ALL of these are perpetrated by people who are getting rich and gaining power from gullible people who depend on conspiracy ideas to help them understand a complicated world.

Michelle Hebert

Well done. I didn't realize it went that deep. The music was exceptional as well, deformr. Perfect Sunday treat, ACC.

Alan

Chefs kiss !! This was delicious, I grew up during satanic panic, and even then I rolled my eyes so hard you could almost hear it. This episode made me feel real self righteous (or maybe it’s Satan)

Amonnè Pennington

Fort Wayne with another honorable mention 🤪 I need to move
