Show Notes
This episode kicks off with Peaches and Viktor Wilt revisiting one of their all-time greatest hits: convincing half of East Idaho that Viktor was leaving radio forever—complete with emotional callers, dramatic music, and at least one guy ready to dedicate Tool songs in mourning. From there, things spiral into a full-on April Fools’ breakdown as they roast lazy prank attempts (looking at you, clearly-labeled jokes) while also admitting they barely had the energy to pull one off this year thanks to Peaches battling a stomach apocalypse.
The guys then dive headfirst into the most Idaho Falls rumor imaginable—Trader Joe’s might be coming to town—and immediately treat it like a conspiracy documentary, complete with sketchy job listings, QR codes that lead nowhere useful, and Facebook detectives confidently being wrong. That leads into a brutally honest takedown of comment sections, where nobody reads articles, everything turns political in under two comments, and somehow a chicken restaurant becomes a cultural battleground.
They wrap things up by brainstorming their own ridiculous prank ideas (including fake tattoos, fake firings, and pranks that might actually cause family panic), plus revisiting their ongoing “Viktor Wilt: Responsible for Every Disaster in History” bit—because nothing says comedy like inserting your coworker into major catastrophes with an “I Did That” sticker. It’s part nostalgia, part local chaos commentary, and part reminder that people will believe absolutely anything if it shows up on Facebook.
