Last summer, something monumental happened. One of Uncuffed's founding producers, Greg Eskridge, came home after more than 30 years in prison. In this episode we’ll bring you back to that emotional day last summer when he walked out of the San Quentin gates, free at last.

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.

We All Love Fluoride in the Matrix 1:19:48

hace 25 weeks1:19:48

1:19:48

On this episode Matt is joined by Sebastian Bendix (from the podcast TENTPOLE TRAUMA) to discuss the utter nonsense that is the fear mongering about fluoride in our drinking water. It's not often that conspiracy theorists are THIS WRONG, but when it comes to fluoride they can't even get the basics right. Is fluoride in our drinking water? Yes - it's naturally occuring. Does the government put fluoride in our drinking water? Yes and no -- sometimes they add more, sometimes they remove some. Is the government doing this in order to create a legion of mindless zombies? No -- we have social media for that. Once the subject of fluoride is brushed aside, Sebastian and Matt have a freewheeling conversation about the evolution of conspiracy pop culture from the X-FILES to THE MATRIX. Lastly, make sure to check out Sebastian's show TENTPOLE TRAUMA where you can listen to Matt talk about the Mel Gibson/Julia Roberts movie, CONSPIRACY THEORY. That's right - this is a podcast crossover!

The Conspiracy Life Cycle 43:58

hace 29 weeks43:58

43:58

Denver Riggleman returns to The Mighty Peculiar! On this episode Denver and Matt introduce the concept of a conspiracy theory life cycle - consisting of 5 steps: CONCEPTUALIZE, MYTHOLOGIZE, SOCIALIZE, MONETIZE, and WEAPONIZE. This is an important episode with some extremely valuable information that will help the entire coalition of the sane better understand the insanity we are facing. But don't worry - Denver and Matt take plenty of opportunities to talk about Bigfoot wearing the Sigourney Weaver's red dress from GHOSTBUSTERS, make dumb jokes that border on tasteless, dunk on Donald Trump, and just have an all around great time being reunited on THE MIGHTY PECULIAR!

Pickin’ Up Sympathetic Vibrations 2:12:42

hace 32 weeks2:12:42

2:12:42

On this episode Matt is joined by guest cohost Bobby Trippett (cohost of the GRINDBIN) to try to make sense of the vaporic, etheric, and sympathetic vibrations all around us. Not sure what any of that means? That’s okay because neither did humbug practitioner/grifter John Ernst Worrell Keely - the man who claimed to have discovered and harnessed them into a new energy source. Along the way, Matt and Bobby talk about orgone (it’s another made up energy source), humans and Muppets peacefully coexisting, why no one should ever say “perpetual motion”, and how fun words are when you change their definitions to better fleece rubes. So strap on your vaporic gun and get ready to hit the Orgone Trail on this episode of THE MIGHTY PECULIAR!

Poles and Holes - A History Of The Hollow Earth 2:29:58

hace 33 weeks2:29:58

2:29:58

On this episode Matt is joined by guest cohost Eddie “the Axe” Jefferson (from The BloodyBits Horror Show) to search for holes at the poles and talk all about the Hollow Earth Theory. The discussion begins with a quick stop in 18th century England to blame infamous man-turned-comet Edmond Halley for speculating that the Earth could be hollow (it’s not, by the way) — but like all things, the crazy doesn’t really get going until we end up in the United States during the 1800’s. It’s here that we meet a man who successfully petitions the government for funds to find the so-called “holes at the poles”, but are his motives truly noble or is he just looking to get away from his family? And what of Cyrus Reed Teed? How did he come to believe that we actually live within the hollow Earth with a battery operated sun while the rest of the universe is made of rock? Maybe repeatedly electrocuting himself into an unconscious state had something to do with it… Finally, we can’t let the 20th century go unscathed because it’s there we learn about Richard Shaver’s mystery (spoiler alert: it’s pretty dark) and the all you can eat buffet of crazy that is the Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis. Settle in with a disappointing chocolate Easter bunny to snack on and enjoy this wild episode!

Flat Earth, Iron Fist 2:02:15

hace 34 weeks2:02:15

2:02:15

On This episode Matt is joined by guest cohost Tim Yobo (from The BloodyBits Horror Show) to talk all about and around the flat Earth theory. The discussion begins in the time of Pythagoras where, despite the revisionist attempts of pseudo-historians to claim otherwise, it was common knowledge that Earth was round. Then it's off to England in the 1800's where a man named Samuel Rowbotham had the gall to both rename himself Parallax and invent the foundational beliefs of flat Eartherism. Finally, our trip around the globe ends in Zion, Illinois. A town founded by a faith healer/con artist until a flat Earth zealot usurps power and spends nearly three decades ruling the town with an iron fist. Strict adherence to belief in the flat Earth, a draconian moral code, threatening billboards, cries of a stolen election, and the storming of a government building in the search for ballot boxes are just a few of the head spinning topics discussed. And what role does walls made of mashed potatoes play in it all? Listen and find out!

On this episode Matt is joined by guest cohost Mike Wood (host of the GRINDBIN) to talk about the different ways you can turn a one-time grift into a full-fledged grifting career. Listen to find out if you’re more of the Whitley Strieber (“Why stop at just one Communion?”) or Travis Walton (“The fire in the sky keeps on burning!”) type of grifter. And what discussion of career grifters could go without a stop in Amityville? Here Matt and Mike discuss the importance of keeping your circle of authorized grifters tight. As an extra special bonus, Mike tells us what it was like to see Travis Walton participate in a live Q&A in 2023 and how something as simple as the color of a jumpsuit could destroy your credibility Support the show " Mighty Peculiar Theme" by Doug Wortel Our Linktree: linktr.ee/themightypeculiar Our Spreadshirt Merch https://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/…

Did The World End In 2012? 1:32:13

THE MIGHTY PECULIAR returns with its new format! On this episode, host MATT ANDERSON is joined by guest cohost DOUG WORTEL (producer COALITION OF THE SANE , RANDOM ACTS OF COMICS ) to try to figure out if the world really ended in 2012. Did the Ancient Mayans doom us all by turning on a super collider that created an infinite number of reality devouring black holes? The answer is, of course, no. Have we all been trapped in the same post-existence simulation for the last twelve years? Again, the answer is clearly no. Will everyone who listens to the episode finally understand the meaning of life, know the accurate location of the Statue of Liberty, and have a lot of laughs along the way? Here the answers are: maybe, yes, and definitely!

Mike Lee & The Benadryl Dream Warriors 54:09

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?

Do Radicalized Sheep Dream Of Cosmic Pancakes? 55:33

55:33

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!
