The Mighty Peculiar

We All Love Fluoride in the Matrix

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!Support the show"Mighty Peculiar Theme" by Doug Wortel Our Linktree: linktr.ee/themightypeculiarOur Spreadshirt Merchhttps://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/

Pickin’ Up Sympathetic Vibrations

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!Support the show"Mighty Peculiar Theme" by Doug Wortel Our Linktree: linktr.ee/themightypeculiarOur Spreadshirt Merchhttps://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/

Poles and Holes - A History Of The Hollow Earth

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!Support the show"Mighty Peculiar Theme" by Doug Wortel Our Linktree: linktr.ee/themightypeculiarOur Spreadshirt Merchhttps://the-mighty-peculiar.myspreadshop.com/
