Mike Lee & The Benadryl Dream Warriors
The new season of The Mighty Peculiar continues with possibly its most wide ranging episode yet.First up Denver holds a fireside insurrection by reading the texts from Utah Senator Mike Lee (who is almost certainly not a sewer rat wearing human skin).Then the guys enter the nightmarish world of The Hat Man - which causes them to wonder why something as common as sleep paralysis can be so wildly misinterpreted that it leads people to taking potentially lethal doses of allergy medicine in order to fight a fictional being?Finally, Matt puts Doug’s and Denver’s ability to spot a scam to the test.  Do they pass with flying colors or reveal themselves to be a couple of rubes?The Mighty Peculiar Merch: https://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/The Mighty Peculiar Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/TheMightyPeculiarSupport the Show."Mighty Peculiar Theme" by Doug Wortel Our Linktree: linktr.ee/themightypeculiarOur Spreadshirt Merchhttps://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/

Do Radicalized Sheep Dream Of Cosmic Pancakes?
The Mighty Peculiar is back!  It’s a new year, a new format, with the same team at the helm!Unsure of how to properly kick off this new season, Doug and Matt fall back on the tried and true tactic of triggering Denver about the events of Jan. 6th - leading Denver to drop a veritable cluster bomb of truth, while swatting away the notion that it was a "peaceful protest" or that the participants were "unarmed." Also, he gleefully dispatched the nonsense surrounding Ray Epps Then Matt makes everyone hungry by regaling them with a tale of pancakes from spaaaaaace!  This leads to some of the most ridiculous and thought provoking discussions in The Mighty Peculiar’s history.Along the way the guys make some incredibly dated, yet relevant pop culture references and announce that they are launching a Patreon!2024 may be a scary year,  but rest assured your antidote to doomscrolling the news is back and better than ever!Our Link Tree:https://linktr.ee/themightypeculiarOur Merch Page: https://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/Support the Show."Mighty Peculiar Theme" by Doug Wortel Our Linktree: linktr.ee/themightypeculiarOur Spreadshirt Merchhttps://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/

There'll Be Hell To Pay : Satanic Panic Part Three
On this episode of The Mighty Peculiar the guys discover they are still trapped in Satan’s clutches and that the only means of escape is to confront the true evil at the center of the Satanic Panic — false accusations of heinous acts that destroyed the lives of many innocent people.The truly heartbreaking story of Dan and Fran Keller is discussed in depth.  Will society learn from the grave injustice done to the Kellers the next time a moral panic sweeps the nation or will we experience the horrors of redundant history?Also, no discussion of the Satanic Panic would be complete without taking Geraldo Rivera to task for his infernal exploitation of the cultural crisis for ratings and fame.And if that weren’t enough, Denver and Matt spend a bit of time wondering if Jimmy Hoffa frequented key parties.Support the Show."Mighty Peculiar Theme" by Doug Wortel Our Linktree: linktr.ee/themightypeculiarOur Spreadshirt Merchhttps://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/
