    Mike Lee & The Benadryl Dream Warriors

    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?

    Do Radicalized Sheep Dream Of Cosmic Pancakes?

    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!

Important History

Great account of similarities in “truther” propaganda associated with Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks.
Believe you would find American Journalist George Seldes’ (1890-1995) work on foreign and domestic fascist movements leading up to WW2 enormously insightful re troubling current events. Scope is comprehensive. Includes background profile of Chicago Tribune’s McCormick.
Recommend starting with one (or more) of following books by Mr. Seldes:

1. Facts and Fascism (1947)
2. 1000 Americans (1947)
3. The Facts Are: A Guide to Falsehood and Propaganda in the Press and Radio (1942)
4. Witch Hunt (1940)
