Ep 115Ep. 115 - Christmas Songs That Should Be Considered Felonies - 12/04/2025
In today’s episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor go on an absolute sleigh ride through the darkest, weirdest, and most disturbingly educational Christmas music rabbit hole ever recorded.It all starts with Peaches revealing that Winter Wonderland was written by a guy basically doing Arthur Morgan RP in a hospital bed. From there, the duo spirals into a full breakdown of the most cursed holiday songs in existence — including the unhinged fever dream known as “Christmas With Satan”, and a discussion on why “Baby It’s Cold Outside” might actually be the Bill Cosby Holiday Special nobody asked for.Then Peaches picks a fight with the entire grunge canon. Red Hot Chili Peppers? Overplayed. Audioslave? Overplayed. Pearl Jam? Never once heard anyone say they like “Better Man.” Viktor immediately drags out a list of actual human beings who adore Pearl Jam just to prove Peaches wrong.Of course, Peaches then decides to attack all of country music — calling Zach Bryan a campfire guitar guy ruining everyone’s marshmallows, and comparing a flying Garth Brooks to a chubby redneck being launched across a stadium like a drunk cannonball.When that chaos settles, Viktor brings up a Reddit post where a guy told a coworker she “smelled edible,” leading Peaches to construct the most accurate forensic sketch of a greasy-haired dude in an Alpha Wolf shirt ever created in audio form. That tumbles into a rant about Facebook drama, greasy hair complaints, and whether Peaches should post his brain’s unfiltered thoughts online (spoiler: he absolutely should not).Finally, the guys talk Thanksgiving horror stories, holiday work schedules, and why at least some places should stay open on holidays—because sometimes you just need a lonely Carl’s Jr. burger to stay alive.It’s unhinged. It’s chaotic. It’s festive.Basically: perfect radio.
Ep 114Ep. 114 - The r/Seether Mods Declare War (Because They Have Nothing Else Going On) - 12/03/2025
Today’s Noon Hour opens with Peaches and Viktor seriously pondering the world’s most important question: Is dating Sydney Sweeney worth the paparazzi-induced PTSD, or would you just end up communicating through her agent like a hostage negotiation? That spirals — naturally — into whether either of them could survive in Italy, Denmark, or Australia, especially after Viktor lists every venomous creature on the continent and Peaches reenacts a rattlesnake attack like a Discovery Channel reenactment narrated by a man who hates snakes.But the real meat of this episode? Peaches’s glorious, explosive, long-awaited banishment from r/Seether — a subreddit run by a man who sounds like he moderates from a swivel chair made of Funko Pops. After half a year of complete silence, Captain Neckbeard descends from the shadows to unload an essay of rage at Peaches for “crimes” that Peaches no longer remembers and probably never committed.Peaches responds with a ChatGPT-crafted, overly polite message (the ultimate troll), causing the mod to combust in real time. Viktor can barely breathe laughing as Peaches breaks down the saga: the old YouTube comments being unearthed, the subreddit tantrum, Matt’s unhinged revenge post getting immediately nuked, and how even Peaches’s ex-friend Bobby re-entered his life purely to clown on the angry Seether guy. Truly, peace was restored through mutual hatred.Then the guys pivot to Quentin Tarantino deciding to randomly annihilate Paul Dano’s entire career for sport, Toy Story 3 being too good for the sequels that followed, and Daniel Day-Lewis staying in character so aggressively that he probably ordered craft-services lunch as Abraham Lincoln.Viktor also recounts The Advocates surprising him with the nicest guitar he’s ever received in his life — which immediately prompted Jade to bully him for not being able to play it. Meanwhile, Peaches almost called paramedics when he thought Viktor died in the studio mid-podcast edit.
Ep 113Ep. 113 - The Candle Karen Riots of 2025 - 12/02/2025
Peaches and Viktor spend today’s Noon Hour doing what they do best: boldly spelunking into the deepest, darkest corners of the Internet — specifically the Bath & Body Works Facebook page — where civilization has collapsed under the weight of expired coupons and candle-sale warfare. From there, the guys spiral into a full audit of every unhinged rock and metal fan group on Earth, including Octane die-hards, Sleep Token haters, and the mysterious sect of people who truly believe Parkway Drive has been “slowed down” by anything other than gravity and time.Peaches airs his grievances about Nik Nocturnal becoming a “traitor” to K-Bear, Viktor worries the entire Midwest might hear him call them trash, and both of them try to remember which albums they voted for in the Nik Nocturnal Awards even though neither of them has listened to half the nominees.Things escalate quickly when the guys discover that half the rock world’s Facebook pages have been hacked by whoever keeps posting fake divorce articles, Z-103’s historical meltdown resurfaces, and Peaches relives the trauma of being phone-stalked by a listener while he was in the bathroom.Just when the chaos seems to peak, Jade and Josh kick in the door like uninvited game show hosts and remind everyone that a two-foot spicy gummy worm is waiting to send Peaches and Viktor to the ER live on air.This is not just an episode — it’s a full emotional journey through digital rage, metal elitism, phone-line nightmares, and gastrointestinal foreshadowing. Strap in. You’re gonna want to hear how this ends.
Ep 112Ep. 112 - Simply Having a Wonderful Crisis Time - 12/01/2025
In today’s episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor kick off strong by celebrating the fact that they are barely healthy enough to broadcast — which quickly spirals into a conversation about Latvian superfans, YouTube strategy, and why Peaches thinks every channel page on Earth looks like trash except his own.The duo then masterfully detours into the Wild West of RV licensing, questioning how America trusts 16-year-olds to pilot a U-Haul that’s basically a land-going aircraft carrier. Viktor reminisces about pulling a 28-foot camper like it was nothing, while Peaches explains why being murdered by a motorhome would be “an embarrassing obituary.”From there, things go full holiday insanity as Peaches recounts being trapped listening to the SiriusXM Christmas station, which seems to exist exclusively to remind you of songs it refuses to actually play. Naturally, this leads to Viktor dragging Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” for sounding like a synth-based satanic ritual where someone walks in mid-summoning and Paul frantically sings, “S-SIMPLY HAVING A WONDERFUL CHRISTMASTIME!”Then the boys roast the Stranger Things backlash, celebrity chaos, Millie Bobby Bongiovi, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s tearful press junket, John Lennon’s “insufferable” Christmas song, and an online “’80s radio station” that apparently makes itself sound so authentically ‘80s that it’s unlistenable by modern standards.Next, Peaches and Viktor roast modern radio, old radio, AI commercials, AI music, Teddy Swims admitting he uses AI, Daft Punk writing lyrics with the dedication of a broken Speak-and-Spell, and the reality that the Noon Hour theme song is now a Daft Punk-certified household banger.Then Viktor reveals the true horror of the episode: He is now a cricket farmer. And a cat landlord. And maybe a hostage.Viktor retells the saga of losing a gecko under a paper towel at 1:00 AM while a cat tries to sleep directly on his skull. Peaches chimes in with the good news that his girlfriend openly hates pets and he plans on having exactly zero of them forever… which Viktor assures him is exactly what everyone says before ending up with an accidental zoo.The show wraps up with holiday shopping, carpet shampooer economics, big dogs whipping you with weaponized tails, and a full public service announcement: “Do NOT bring your giant dog to someone’s Thanksgiving unless you want to be judged forever.”It’s a chaotic, ridiculous, wildly entertaining hour — in other words, peak Peaches & Viktor. Listen to the whole thing to feel better about your own life choices.
Ep 111Ep. 111 - Maddie Falls in Love with the Trans-Siberian Backup Goddess - 11/24/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches brings in temporary co-host Maddawg Maddie, who casually reveals she keeps two wigs in her car at all times, just in case she suddenly needs to look like a colonial woman or a Discord mod with a fedora and cat ears. Peaches tries one on and instantly transforms into “that dude who runs a Minecraft server and bans people for swearing.”The chaos escalates when they discover a mysterious Freddy Fazbear mask lying around the studio, debate whether it has lice, and Maddie puts it on anyway because “it’s for the bit.” Theater kid behavior confirmed.Then the pair decide their show needs national attention like that radio station who got a caller reporting a dead body in the woods—and openly brainstorm staging a dumb headline just to get on Yahoo News. Priorities.We also get the origin story of Maddie “Maddawg” and Peaches’ eternal struggle with still being known as “the tall bald guy named after fruit.” Peaches wonders what Idaho gossip moms say about him at Walmart between blocking aisles and going 0.5 mph while leaning on carts.The highlight? Maddie’s absolutely unhinged Trans-Siberian Orchestra recap: ignoring shred solos and pyrotechnics because she was too busy zooming in on the hot blonde backup singer, nearly starting a mosh pit in a seated venue, and climbing over a knitting grandma who may or may not have been experiencing heart failure.Peak professionalism.If you want to hear theater kid energy, bald-man insecurity, mosh-pit withdrawal, and the phrase “I’m coming, Pookie” yelled earnestly, this episode delivers.
Ep 110Ep. 110 - High-Society Thanksgiving, But Stupid - 11/20/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Viktor debuts his new character “Sir Robert,” a congested Victorian aristocrat who sounds like he drinks gravy through a monocle. This immediately derails the show into a historical deep-dive about medieval fart scapegoats, where Peaches learns that rich women used to literally hire people to take the blame for public toots. Truly educational broadcast content.From there, the guys craft the most unhinged Thanksgiving prank ever imagined: showing up to dinner in sweater vests, speaking like high-society debutantes, and introducing a gecko named Money Pit who only eats “ethically sourced cage-free crickets.”Things somehow get weirder when Peaches mentions AI edits of AJ Lee kissing random dudes, Viktor delivers a passionate PSA about not touching women in his aristocrat voice, and the two of them roast toxic metal fans, Nick Nocturnal haters, and Reddit’s most questionable communities.They wrap up by tearing apart a fake Rolling Stone metal list, defending Sleep Token, and inventing more unnecessary characters than a Marvel multiverse.Pure chaos. Pure stupidity. Pure Noon Hour perfection.
Ep 109Ep. 109 - Greg, Are You There? - 11/19/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches accidentally becomes “Greg” and drags Viktor into the most unhinged fake-family drama ever texted to a stranger in New Mexico. Within minutes, Peaches has invented a wife who drinks Victor Wilt’s Triple IPA, a Crown Royal spinoff named “Brad,” and a secret affair with Josh Tyler, all while the poor guy on the other end earnestly tries to offer life advice like he’s Dr. Phil.When they’re not emotionally ruining a scammer, they spiral into a full breakdown about movie years — discovering that 2004 is officially ancient, 1994 was built different, and Viktor is old enough to have watched every Jim Carrey movie in real time.They close things out with debates about Christmas classics, Aubrie’s cinematic gasping, Home Alone crimes, and the shocking fact that Macaulay Culkin is older than Viktor and Jade.
Ep 108Ep. 108 - Mozart Loved Fart Jokes… and So Do We - 11/18/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches teaches Viktor that Mozart — the classical music legend — was basically the original king of poop jokes, which somehow leads to a theory that Tool’s Fear Inoculum might secretly be about… well, the same thing. From there, the guys spiral into dinosaurs, earthquakes, Terrible Tour Routing™ and why being in a band actually sounds awful. Then Viktor loses his ID live on the show and has a full meltdown while Peaches plays emotional support detective. They close things out with rants about minimalist wallets, Peaches' girlfriend shoopping at Ross and saying “This is cute,” and the smog-and-regret aroma of Salt Lake City. Short, stupid, chaotic, beautiful.
Ep 107Ep. 107 - Daft Punk Ruined Our Monday - 11/17/2025
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when two grown men finally admit that video games have passed them by, this episode is your new emotional support animal. Peaches and Viktor kick things off by declaring that the gaming world has entered a “dark time,” then immediately spend 20 minutes yelling about Donkey Kong Country like two retirees arguing over whose back hurts worse. Viktor reminisces about snow days in 1994, Peaches does the math and realizes Viktor is roughly 500 years old, and then somehow they both start trauma-dumping about online-only campaigns like they’re describing war crimes.Peaches also bravely confesses that Cuphead emotionally destroyed him. Viktor backs him up by revealing he once missed a Steam sale and has never fully recovered. From there, the guys spiral into stories involving: • broken brakes • broken PCs • missing Steam deals • missing brain cells • a dude who tried to swallow an entire cheeseburger “as a joke” and ended up getting folded by a hamburger like a Mortal Kombat fatality.THEN — in a display of unhinged broadcast genius — Viktor and Peaches debut the world’s most unnecessary EDM banger: a four-minute rave anthem where the ONLY lyrics are “NOON HOUR OF MADNESS AND MAYHEM,” repeated 700 times like a caffeinated cult chant. It becomes a whole event. They theorize Daft Punk is trolling them from beyond the robot grave. They compare the song to “One More Time,” roast club kids, and somehow plan to sneak a diss track about Jade Davis into Z103 Vibes without anyone noticing.This episode has dance music, video games, brutal beef, cheeseburger survival warnings, vape elitists, keg stand injuries, cat puke, and the longest EDM drop in the history of mankind. If you make it through the whole thing and STILL don’t give them a five-star rating… you may actually be the guy at the party yelling “ONE MORE TIME” at 4am.
Ep 106Ep. 106 - When Viktor Discovered His Knees Make Terrible Cleavage - 11/14/2025
Today’s show is packed with grown adults freezing in Target parking lots for Pokémon cards, a heated debate over whether camping chairs should be allowed to “hold a spot,” Viktor revealing that his kids once had a massive Pokémon binder he now desperately wants to find and sell, and Peaches recounting the tragic story of his dad selling a 1970s Porsche long before it became a six-figure collectible.The chaos continues with Funko Pop doomsday predictions, mall-store nostalgia, and both guys wondering who on earth kept their childhood toys sealed in mint-conditioned packaging like savants preparing for Pawn Stars. Then Peaches unleashes his latest Sora monstrosities — including the cursed Sloppy Joe vortex that chants “Peaches Pizza” like a carb-obsessed demon, and a brand-new gas-station meltdown where AI-generated Peaches screams about unionizing taquitos in someone else’s voice.There’s strategizing over posting AI slop to TikTok, roasting the anti-AI crowd, questioning whether faces look weird now because of too much AI exposure, and commiserating over beard-related body insecurity. And of course, they top it all off with Daniel from Sales creating cinematic Sora trailers where he heroically fights samurai.It’s collectible regrets, AI fever dreams, beard philosophy, workplace shenanigans, and all the unhinged Friday energy you expect from Peaches and Viktor.
Ep 105Ep. 105 - Unfollowed by Hippies, Loved by Haters - 11/13/2025
In this episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor grab the wheel of the show and immediately swerve into a full-speed rant about Titan Radio — Peaches’ old college station where everyone apparently unfollowed him, burned his AC/DC poster in a ritual, and replaced it with Birkenstocks, indie bands with 43 monthly Spotify listeners, and dudes wearing skirts who smell like pine and natural deodorant. Viktor, of course, responds with the emotional depth of a brick: “Screw ’em.”From there, Peaches confesses he used to prank-call the worst DJs at Titan Radio — like a benevolent radio Batman, except instead of fighting crime he bullied college kids trying to run an internet station out of a library basement.Then they dive straight into listener haters, building toward Peaches’ pièce de résistance: “The Cornball Hotline,” an AI-generated diss track roasting people who swear they “don’t listen to KBEAR anymore” but still somehow quote the whole show, write Facebook novels, melt down when rap plays, defend Sublime like Bradley Nowell is personally checking comments from heaven, and talk big while their favorite metal bands couldn’t sell out a Jamba Juice.The roast only intensifies once Jade and Josh invade the studio and immediately start arguing about batteries, explosives, magnets, and whatever the hell “battery acid in the box” means. This leads directly into discussions about Crassy 97 — the unhinged, foul-mouthed, gangster-rap-fueled alternate universe version of Classy 97 that would absolutely get everyone fired within seven minutes.By the end, there's dancing, weird zippers, taco cravings, mic chaos, and Viktor deeply misunderstanding the phrase “taking your jacket off.” It’s the most ADHD hour in East Idaho and somehow the perfect reason to leave a five-star review, purely for the emotional whiplash.
Ep 104Ep. 104 - Crassy 97: Where Holiday Cheer Goes to Die - 11/12/2025
On today’s installment of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor unravel what can only be described as East Idaho’s unofficial psychological study on how fast grown adults lose their composure when Christmas music isn’t delivered on their exact personal timetable. What starts as a simple mention of sleigh bells detonates into Peaches brainstorming “Crassy97,” an April Fools station where Josh and Shantel drop bleeped-out domestic threats over Bing Crosby, and Viktor recounting real Reddit doxxings of radio hosts like they’re campfire stories. Then Peaches unveils the AI-composed anti-Christmas anthem — a masterpiece sung by robots delivering lines like “Calm down, Karen” with the confidence of a choir on a sugar high — and Josh & Shantel walk into the studio just in time to be publicly handed their own musical intervention. The entire back half spirals into a scorched-earth comedy roast of Eddie Trunk so aggressive it could summon his ghost while he’s still alive, complete with discussions of failed magic tricks, helicopter hook suspensions, disappearing acts, and why half his hair is doing protest labor. There’s also a brief detour into whether Reddit makes everyone a leftist, whether Pandora users are cryptids, how many black metal albums are recorded through a potato, and why people who comment “not metal” on everything should be launched over Niagara Falls in a trunk labeled “Trunk Nation.”
Ep 103Ep. 103 - You’re Beautiful (But Not $6,000 Beautiful) - 11/11/2025
This episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem feels like two guys went off their meds and found a karaoke machine. Peaches and Viktor kick things off by absolutely roasting The Woody Show’s “Friday-Okie” segment—then immediately decide to make it worse by doing their own version, featuring “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt, “Around the World” by Daft Punk, and a hauntingly off-key Sleep Token impression. From there, the duo spirals into rants about $6,000 Bad Omens tickets, the death of Culver’s CurderBurger, and America’s growing dependence on grocery pickup. Peaches admits he lets Aubrie handle the produce because he’s “basically a husband now,” while Viktor confesses he’s too lazy to drive ten minutes for food. Things then take a sharp left turn into winter warfare (a frozen water balloon attack in California), windshield trauma, and moral debates about kids throwing snowballs versus old men with AKs. Finally, they descend into AI hell—literally—sharing vivid nightmares about fake people, expanding dream worlds, creepy imitator parents, and Jade Davis sending cursed TikToks that would make Cthulhu uncomfortable. It’s a psychological breakdown disguised as radio comedy—and it’s glorious.
Ep 102Ep. 102 - Bodies in Low Places and Cracks in My Windshield - 11/10/2025
What starts as a quiet Monday solo show quickly spirals into Peaches waging war against the entire concept of the five-day workweek, giving Henry Ford a posthumous tongue-lashing for ruining modern humanity. Between ranting about windshield cracks and abandoned tri-tip, Peaches somehow pivots to the wildest conspiracy theory of the year — Garth Brooks being a possible serial killer. He examines a real book called Bodies in Low Places, contemplates how 80,000 people can lose their minds over a “chubby dude with a cowboy hat,” and worries that even mentioning Garth’s name might make him the next “missing person” on tour. He also retells the saga of Maddie’s first ever crowd surf at the Set It Off show (spoiler: she lived), confesses his hatred for country twang, and ends up fact-checking a fake Metallica vs. Beyoncé feud that spun out of his own show’s previous episode. It’s a full hour of Peaches overthinking, overtalking, and maybe accidentally summoning Garth’s legal team.
Ep 101Ep. 101 - Koopa and the Golden Shower of Doom - 11/06/2025
This episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem begins with Peaches unveiling a self-written “theme song” that somehow sounds like an overproduced campfire ballad about Viktor’s bald head, instant coffee shooters, and his Halloween alter ego, Victoria Rose. From there, everything collapses beautifully. Peaches launches a Thanksgiving revolution, demanding brisket or tacos instead of turkey, while Viktor insists on hotdogs and pizza because they’re “less stressful and more patriotic.” Their conversation about affordable cars spirals into a hunt for used Geo Metros, complaints about Prius pricing, and a call for police departments nationwide to adopt hybrids for “taxpayer efficiency.” Then Viktor drops the big one — the cat pee story. His feline, Koopa, perched like a gargoyle atop the fridge, unleashes a golden rain of terror across Viktor’s kitchen, candy bowl, and dignity. Peaches mocks him relentlessly while Viktor relives the trauma of yelling “THIS IS WHERE YOU PEE!” at 11 p.m. It’s a full psychological breakdown disguised as lunchtime radio, somehow managing to tie together cats, brisket, Cybertrucks, and Metallica’s missing amps. This is not a podcast. This is performance art with a faint smell of disinfectant.
Ep 100Ep. 100 - The Spreadsheets That Broke Viktor Wilt - 11/05/2025
There are podcast episodes that gently meander through thoughtful discussion… and then there’s this one, which stumbles in like an uninvited raccoon with a spreadsheet addiction and a vendetta against Christmas music. Peaches and Viktor begin by trying (and failing) to find a “hard beat,” only to spiral into a roast of LinkedIn overachievers who brag about turning airplane seats into mobile offices. From there, they pivot into a full-blown investigation into whether Chunk from The Goonies regrets the Truffle Shuffle, which somehow devolves into an argument about childhood acting trauma, iCarly reboots, and why Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle needs to get over himself. By the midpoint, Viktor’s fighting spreadsheets, Peaches is at war with early Christmas stations, and both are dunking on KROQ’s “Almost Acoustic Christmas” lineup like two unhinged sports commentators calling a trainwreck in real time. The episode closes with Viktor realizing he’s been living next to a massive Halloween spider for days without noticing, Peaches trying to plan his tree setup like it’s a NASA launch, and a horrifying true story about a funhouse that accidentally displayed a real corpse for sixty years. In other words: it’s a beautiful disaster.
Ep 99Ep. 99 - Justice for Liv Maddix, Screw 105.7 The Point! - 11/04/2025
Peaches and Viktor start today’s Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem by going nuclear on the latest radio shake-up in St. Louis — The Woody Show getting piped into afternoons on 105.7 The Point right after local DJ Liv got axed. Peaches, who actually watched her tear-filled post about the firing, calls out the corporate absurdity of killing local alternative radio just to run a pre-recorded morning show in the middle of the day. Viktor mocks the “reunion” branding between Woody and Rizzuto, since one’s live in Missouri and the other’s prerecorded in California. What follows is a full-blown roast of syndicated shows, “budget cuts,” and the kind of management that thinks music radio is better without… music.From there, they spiral into a story about how a dumb “Hex Bells” joke about AC/DC and biker clubs accidentally turned into a listener outrage saga. Peaches recounts how someone called in furious, yelled, and immediately hung up before he could defend himself — a “classic radio move.” The two re-enact the call, roast the mystery biker, and confess the whole joke came from a long-running gag about being banned from saying “hell” on air. Viktor owns up to starting it, Peaches gets blamed for it, and they agree that bikers, dart players, and bowlers are terrifyingly passionate people with the best shirts in Idaho. It all ends with Peaches retelling his Pizza Madness delivery days — including how Harley-Davidson of Grand Teton went absolutely feral with joy over free pizza, while the animal hospital somehow acted like he’d delivered a lawsuit instead.
Ep 98Ep. 98 - The Secret Wilted Into Rose - 11/03/2025
Peaches and Viktor open by roasting Facebook’s flood of machine-made “news,” then jump into the AI pop singer rumor mill, a supposed three-million-dollar Suno deal, and a headline that misspelled radio as “Radi,” which tells you everything about the source quality. They debate whether Z103 should spin synthetic hits if the average listener just wants something that sounds good, while the loudest anti-AI commenters rage under Shaq’s Sora fever dreams, including the one where he marries Marilyn Monroe and somehow wins the World Series for the Dodgers pitching the wrong way. Moist Critikal’s prediction that AI will bulldoze pop and country becomes the springboard to a bigger question: if the artist is virtual, does the “tour” just become a movie event with a cheaper ticket and zero trucks to load, unlike that Tool night at Mountain America Center that felt like the entire town clocked in. Then they go hands on. Using a prompt Peaches cooked with ChatGPT, the show unveils two Suno theme contenders for Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem, complete with voiced stage directions and lines about thunder in the station mainframe, clocks melting, and a very pointed word Peaches does not want in any lyric. They discover you need the eight-buck tier to download for commercial use, which Viktor immediately frames as the price of his secret fake artist empire. Next, Peaches spins “Glass and Velvet,” a cinematic ballad about Viktor by night as Victoria Rose, with “the secret wilted into rose” earning a slow clap, followed by a final banger about a bald, very large afternoon DJ who rejects Sublime requests, declares Thanksgiving counterfeit, bans lasagna, and threatens to reach “one more ad break” away from homicide. It is giddy, petty, deadpan, and way too catchy for something written by a circuit board.
Ep 97Ep. 97 - Panic on Air: Jade Davis Defies Physics - 10/30/2025
Another day, another descent into whatever fresh technological nightmare Peaches and Viktor have accidentally uncovered. On today’s Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, the guys dissect a British TV show called Will AI Take My Job? — which ends with the host being AI. That sends them down the rabbit hole of whether news anchors, DJs, and soda mascots will all be replaced by robots before the week’s out. Somehow, this spirals into a full-on Dr Pepper vs. Pepsi vs. Coca-Cola civil war, complete with emotional soda confessions, “dirty soda” culture from Utah, and Peaches pretending he’s a bartender every time he pours Diet Pepsi.Then the conversation derails gloriously: from AI taking over the airwaves, to Viktor claiming we might all be living in an alternate timeline because a weasel broke the particle accelerator in 2016. Peaches admits he asked ChatGPT what the most underrated candy was and it told him Bit-O-Honey — which sends Viktor into visible despair. They roast modern influencers for eating horse electrolytes, joke about China making social media licenses mandatory, and then, because they are truly men of science, generate a real AI podcast live on air titled “Panic on Air: Jade Davis Defies Physics.” The AI calls Jade “she,” describes her as “a rumor about a skeleton,” and somehow still sounds less robotic than most morning shows.By the end, Peaches and Viktor decide humanity is finished, AI is here to stay, and everyone might as well “just give up” — podcasters, graphic designers, news anchors, even soda drinkers. It’s another gloriously dumb, gloriously human day inside East Idaho’s most chaotic lunch hour.
Ep 96Ep. 96 - You’re the Problem, J.Lo - 10/29/2025
The Noon Hour returns with Peaches and Viktor diving headfirst into America’s most pressing issue: McDonald’s allegedly banning pennies. According to the New York Post (so, you know... maybe), the Golden Arches is rounding your change to the nearest nickel — and Peaches is not having it. Cue a ten-minute rant about “hockey puck burgers,” “pennies as meat patty size references,” and why the Big Mac now tastes like “depression and cardboard.”Viktor tries to stay logical (“why not just change the menu prices?”), but the chaos snowballs into talk of AI drive-thrus taking over, Life in Idaho Falls Facebook drama, and the unhinged mods who declined Peaches’ post asking, “Do you like Viktor Wilt? Yes or no?” (Answer: No, apparently.) The duo then spirals into “Dumb Questions People Ask Radio DJs” — Peaches’ new viral TikTok idea. The list includes all-timers like “Did you go to school for that?” and “Can you give my son a birthday shoutout?” — which Viktor proudly admits he’s actually done.Things get even spicier when Peaches reveals his Cal State Fullerton background (“I majored in Cinema and Television Arts with an emphasis in radio, because that sounds cooler on a résumé”) before they rip into pre-recorded DJs, bad local band submissions, and listeners who claim to “only listen to Pandora.” The show hits peak Idaho insanity when the two get philosophical about politics in music, From Ashes to New, Skillet, and LeBron James. Viktor says artists should say whatever they want — Peaches just doesn’t want them ruining concerts.Finally, they wrap with radio nostalgia — KNAC’s metal revival, KROQ’s downfall, and Peaches explaining how he once peed behind a McDonald’s in Victorville on the way to Idaho. It’s a masterclass in random thought spirals, hot takes, and unfiltered laughter — basically lunch therapy for anyone who’s ever worked in radio or just hates soggy buns and political bands.
Ep 95Ep. 95 - George Washington But Make It Theater Kid - 10/27/2025
It’s Halloween week, and Peaches is flying solo—until Maddawg Maddie Kidd crashes the show and immediately sends it into a spiral of wigs, wigs, and more wigs. Viktor’s out for the day, so the dynamic duo deep dive into Halloween chaos, starting with Maddie’s overly ambitious founding father costume that cost an uncomfortable amount of money and involves an identity crisis between George Washington and James Madison (mainly because they’re both the same height).From there, it’s off to the races: Peaches rants about how much he hates Hamilton, Maddie defends Lin-Manuel Miranda like he’s a national treasure, and somewhere in the middle, they break down the current standings of the Riverbend End Zone Fantasy Football League—where Peaches is soaring and Maddie is… well… 1–6 with a 1% chance of making playoffs. Cue the public humiliation punishment idea from Kevin down the hall (“Hi, I’m Maddie, and I’m the loser of the Riverbend End Zone League.”).The chaos doesn’t stop there. They dive into:“Beautiful Names” Gone Wrong – a Reddit thread that devolves into Peaches roasting every grandma name from Ruth to Doris while Maddie reveals her brother’s name is Trapper.Pet Horror Stories – including Peaches’ late dog Daffney the Couch Destroyer and his 55-year-old tortoise Shelldon who might outlive everyone in East Idaho.Idaho vs. Snowbirds – a fiery debate about people who ditch Idaho winters for Arizona and why true locals must “trauma bond” through the pain.Car Talk Gone Too Far – Maddie’s Subaru (“The OG Wagon”) gets an explicit nickname that Peaches immediately threatens to censor.Maddie’s Instagram Resurrection – she unveils her handle, please.pass.the.salt, vows to make a comeback, and Peaches encourages the internet to flood her comments with “Is Maddie single? Asking for myself.”It’s peak Madness & Mayhem: part friendship therapy, part workplace roast session, part Idaho winter survival guide.
Ep 94Ep. 94 - How to Lose a Chair in 10 Days - 10/23/2025
This episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem is what happens when Peaches and Viktor Wilt decide to mix sandwiches, acid reflux, and broken studio chairs into one chaotic lunchtime therapy session. Viktor opens the show dying of heartburn while Peaches heroically raids the break room for sandwiches like a lunchtime Robin Hood. From there, they spiral into one of the most deranged conversations yet — debating whether McDonald’s apps are a blessing or a curse, dunking on Starbucks managers who lack souls, and passionately ranting about parents who hold up drive-thrus like they’re ordering for the Brady Bunch.Somewhere between resyncing a broken Govee light and comparing In-N-Out to a medieval food court, the duo find themselves deep in existential territory: are concerts, subscriptions, or turkey sandwiches even worth it anymore? Peaches questions the entire Thanksgiving holiday (“Sweet potatoes with marshmallows? Stop pretending it’s 1623.”), Viktor gives a free plug to Honey Baked Ham Co., and both of them spiral into a chaotic takedown of “Christmas Shoes” and every Peanuts theme ever recorded.It’s pure Madness & Mayhem: tech fails, food opinions, dad jokes, gastrointestinal struggles, and the kind of derailed brilliance that makes this show feel like lunch with two coworkers who’ve completely given up on professionalism.
Ep 93Ep. 93 - Victoria Rose Was BORN! - 10/20/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt unpack one of the most chaotic weekends in recent memory — complete with Victoria Rose, Freddy Krueger dancers, and a debate about whether Omegle still exists (spoiler: Viktor’s pretty sure it does). After surviving a night of heavy makeup and light trauma, Viktor reveals the shocking aftermath of shaving his beard for the first time in 15 years — and the response from his kids is nothing short of horror movie material.From there, Peaches dives into Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard’s “I’d never kill you” anniversary post, the internet outrage it sparked, and his own battle with being blocked on Facebook for telling a local influencer to “stop whining.” The duo compare that drama to metal elitists, roast internet randos, and somehow end up ranting about the East Idaho News comment section.Just when things couldn’t get weirder, Peaches introduces the “Begonia for bald people” movie screening in California — a free showing for anyone willing to shave their head at the door. Viktor volunteers, Peaches raises legal concerns about lice, and both agree they could make it a KBEAR event if someone brings Lysol and a waiver. They cap things off by roasting another radio show’s Dubai giveaway, a $25,000-per-ticket disaster that inspires Peaches’ fear of flying and Viktor’s Titanic-level anxiety about life rafts.Somewhere between bald screenings, ham-smelling coworkers, and Dubai conspiracies, they rediscover the true spirit of the show: absolute nonsense, lovingly delivered.
Ep 92Ep. 92 - Emos Caused 9/11 and Other Interior Design Opinions - 10/15/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt open with the bold claim that emos are responsible for everything from rising gas prices to world chaos, before spiraling into a full-blown analysis of early-2000s lingo. Peaches reads through a list of “cringe” ALT 101 sweepers packed with words like amazeballs, home skillet, and roar XD, while Viktor serves as the resident historian confirming that yes — every generation has been equally embarrassing.From there, the conversation turns domestic as the guys dive into r/MaleLivingSpace, roasting minimalist apartments, weird bachelor décor, and grown men living in converted high schools. Viktor defends his “Victorian goth dad” aesthetic while Peaches admits his dining table currently doubles as a luxury cat condo. The duo debate throw pillows (“reserved for the dog” instantly triggers Peaches), unnecessary mirrors, and Target’s scented pine cones, which Viktor describes as “chemical warfare for your nostrils.”Somewhere between talking about bathroom posters, candles, and Slayer, the two realize that home décor says less about taste and more about trauma. The takeaway: decorate however you want — just don’t hang a “Live, Laugh, Love” sign unless you’re ready for judgment.
Ep 91Ep. 91 - The One Where Viktor Joins 208 Missed Connections - 10/13/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt dive headfirst into the horrors of the internet’s strangest culinary corner — r/StupidFood — where steak meets Nutella, cookies are baked in porta-potties, and macaroni somehow becomes a war crime once you add peas. This sparks a full-blown argument about “cold cheese burgers” at In-N-Out and Peaches’ moral crusade against McDonald’s for ending all-day breakfast.From there, Peaches rants about becoming a full-blown Walmart Karen, after being denied a 10:15 PM return, while Viktor advocates for customer service employees’ right to swear at you. Things spiral into a surprisingly deep chat about the word “fat”, American sensitivity, and why “husky” might be the funniest insult disguised as a clothing size. Peaches then encourages Viktor to join the Enhanced Olympics after getting too many booster shots, and the two debate whether Ozempic is the future or just another TikTok cult.Finally, the guys cap it off by scrolling through the legendary “208 Missed Connections” Facebook group, where Idaho locals shoot their shot through posts like “French Fry Girl by the Ford Idaho Center” — yes, someone actually caught a flying fry mid-traffic and turned it into a love story. By the end, Peaches is convinced romance isn’t dead, just deep-fried.It’s part food review, part therapy session, and part Craigslist revival — the perfect slice of chaos for your Monday.
Ep 90Ep. 90 - Goofy Delivers the Bad News - 10/10/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt kick off with concert chaos, awkward backstage encounters, and Peaches creeping around the Mountain America Center with a guitar like a suspicious roadie. But things escalate quickly when the conversation shifts to a woman dying on Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion, and the guys immediately turn it into a dark comedy brainstorming session for “the best Disney ride to die on.” Spoiler: Space Mountain and the teacups both make the list.From there, Peaches dives into Disneyland’s actual haunted history, Viktor reads a list of “gruesome park deaths” like it’s bedtime stories for emos, and the two debate whether Disney medics wear Mickey ears while performing CPR. This unravels into a full-blown investigation of MagicalPassings.com, a supposed Disney-themed funeral company that turns out to be a parody site (sadly). Cue discussions about KISS-branded caskets, Tool’s overpriced coffins, and Peaches declaring funerals should be “more fun” while Viktor plays a Steamboat Willie horn sound effect.Somewhere amid all the ghost talk and gallows humor, Peaches drops the bomb that he’s officially Facebook official with Aubrie — prompting Viktor and Jade to roast him relentlessly while also confirming he’s attending the In This Moment show with severe back pain and emotional damage. By the end, the boys are talking nudist concerts, Gene Simmons’ hospital merch, and haunted Disneyland trivia, proving once again that chaos is a love language.If you’ve ever wanted to hear two radio hosts debate death, Disney, and dating in the same breath, this episode is your unholy grail.
Ep 89Ep. 89 - Ding Dong Ditching Is Dead - 10/06/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt spiral from dog training ethics to Halloween hysteria without a single breath in between. It all starts with streamer Hasan Piker getting accused of mistreating his dog on camera, which leads Viktor to reveal his own “training” strategy—positive reinforcement, not shock collars (except maybe for himself on weekends).Then it’s on to this week’s boomer take: whether streaming full seasons at once ruined television. Viktor passionately defends binge-watching like it’s a constitutional right, Peaches admits he can’t remember what happened in Stranger Things, and the two reminisce about The Sopranos, spoilers, and people screaming “Snape kills Dumbledore!” at midnight book launches.The second half turns spooky as Peaches declares trunk or treat events are killing Halloween, calling them “corporate candy laundering.” Viktor argues parents are just terrified of modern creeps, Peaches fires back with nostalgia for door-to-door chaos, and somehow they both agree Ted Bundy would’ve been caught faster if he’d lived in a Ring Doorbell era.It’s Halloween debates, streaming nostalgia, boomer logic, and questionable parenting advice — all in one perfectly unhinged Noon Hour.
Ep 88Ep. 88 - The Great Haim Fart Conspiracy - 09/29/2025
Today’s Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem is a rollercoaster of questionable education, concert disasters, and gastrointestinal warfare. Peaches and Viktor Wilt kick things off with the “teacher feeds kitten to a snake” headline that has both of them reconsidering their entire high school science experience. Dissections, owl pellets, and traumatizing frog flashbacks follow — until they somehow pivot to why schools should be teaching taxes and cooking instead of how to identify a cow heart.Then it’s on to The Rock’s possible presidential run, where Viktor theorizes his campaign slogan would just be “Smell What The Rock is Cooking (It’s Communism)” while Peaches imagines a WWE-style debate where Bernie Sanders takes a folding chair to the jaw.But the grand finale? A masterpiece of bathroom humor meets music journalism: a Reddit thread about a serial farter haunting every Haim concert. Naturally, Peaches tests the theory with his own “research” at a Hollywood Undead show — much to the dismay of his girlfriend. Between the farts, the BO, and the mosh pits, the guys declare that concert hygiene is officially dead.It’s gross, it’s ridiculous, it’s perfect Noon Hour energy — the kind of episode you’ll listen to twice just to believe it really happened.
Ep 87Ep. 87 - Can You Expense a 12-Pack for Journalism? - 09/25/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt tackle the truly pressing issues of our time: the collapse of fast-food value menus and the spiritual toll of $18 beers. Peaches kicks things off with a fiery rant about Wendy’s prices, Viktor attempts to justify corporate meal deals with “beer math,” and both spiral into figuring out whether surviving Aftershock Festival requires a mortgage or a GoFundMe.Between all the burger talk, the guys plan their upcoming Aftershock coverage, try to outdo each other with bad budgeting advice, and theorize which fast-food mascots could survive in a mosh pit. Viktor’s convinced the Hamburglar would headline, while Peaches says Grimace is definitely main-stage energy.By the end, it’s less of a financial conversation and more of a cry for help, featuring questionable economics, festival hacks, and the declaration that if beer keeps inflating, we’re all doomed to drink from the parking lot cooler forever.If you’ve ever yelled “HOW IS A COMBO TWELVE DOLLARS?” in traffic, this one’s your therapy session.
Ep 86Ep. 86 - God Said ‘No,’ Ronnie Said ‘I’m the Bad Guy’ - 09/23/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt accidentally survive the rapture — which, according to TikTok prophets and one South African preacher, was definitely supposed to happen today. Spoiler: traffic was still bad, everyone’s aunt gave away their life savings, and Peaches is already plotting a fake “stay inside or you’ll float away” scam to clear the roads.Once the apocalypse talk wraps up, the guys pivot into Halloween season prep, officially announcing KBEAR’s Rockin’ Halloween powered by Juicity Vapor (aka “the spoopy season”) — complete with questionable scheduling, broken prize sheets, and the revelation that Viktor might have to dress as Ronnie Radke for Halloween.From there it’s all downhill in the best way: they roast Falling in Reverse, Ronnie’s feuds with David Draiman and Courtney LaPlante, fans posting Noah from Bad Omens’ baby photos, and a deep dive into AI artists getting multimillion-dollar record deals. Peaches plays one on air, declares pop and country officially dead, and writes an improvised nu-metal song about parental trauma called “My Mom Baked Me the Wrong Cake.”If you’ve ever wanted a radio show where the apocalypse, metal gossip, and AI pop stars collide — this episode is your chaotic spiritual awakening.
Ep 85Ep. 85 - Gigantopithecus? I Hardly Know Her! - 09/22/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt spiral from TikTok algorithms to Jurassic apocalypse scenarios faster than you can say “RGB light bulb.” Peaches starts by explaining his interior decorating journey, complete with beanbag corners, malfunctioning lamps, and an existential crisis over dim lighting. Viktor, meanwhile, loses a battle with smart bulbs and immediately transforms into a grandpa ranting about “gizmos and gadgets.”Then the conversation jumps straight into science — but the dumb kind — as they debate which extinct animals should (or should absolutely not) be brought back. The list includes dodo birds, megalodons, saber-toothed cats, and one nightmare called Gigantopithecus that’s basically Donkey Kong on steroids. Somewhere in there, Viktor demands we “bring it all back” for entertainment value, Peaches panics about surfing next to a 65-foot shark, and both agree people are dumb enough to pet a woolly mammoth for TikTok views.If you like chaos, sarcasm, or hearing two men overanalyze whether a prehistoric sloth could crush a Kia, this episode’s your new favorite hour.
Ep 84Ep. 84 - Why Everyone in Idaho Thinks Chipotle Is a Liberal Plot - 09/18/2025
Today’s Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem proves once again that if it exists, Peaches and Viktor Wilt will somehow turn it into a debate about either metal or Mexican food. The guys start by giving away Aftershock tickets and roasting each other over broken VoxPro setups, mystery audio clips, and a caller who literally can’t go but still phones in to flex his answers.Then it’s full headbang mode as they break down Lorna Shore’s new album—Peaches calls it “emotional cardio with blast beats,” while Viktor says they could be the next Metallica if they’d just sell out a little. Cue a tangent about drummers’ suffering, clean vocals, and whether “pop metal” is actually a war crime.Naturally, that conversation devolves into Idaho Falls losing its mind over Chipotle moving into the old Carl’s Jr., with Peaches defending his California roots like he’s on trial for bringing guacamole across state lines. By the end, they’ve compared Cafe Rio vs. Costa Vita, imagined a burrito civil war, and shouted “IT’S NOT A CAR WASH!” more times than the FCC would like.The show wraps with a weirdly wholesome Reddit segment about hidden gems in America—because nothing says balance like going from deathcore breakdowns to sand dunes and German-themed towns.If you’ve ever wanted to hear two grown men argue about metal, migration, and Mexican food in the same breath, this episode is your spiritual home.
Ep 83Ep. 83 - Let That Smell Sink In - 09/17/2025
Today’s episode swings from combat sports to public bathroom crimes to the darkest corners of horror literature — all in under an hour. Peaches and Viktor kick things off with the bizarre Idaho news story of a TikTok user named fightme_pls — a self-described Muay Thai/Sparring guy in Caldwell who’s spent 39+ days begging strangers to fight him. Viktor sizes him up like he’s doing UFC commentary, while Peaches wisely says, “nope.” Lieutenant Crane’s name gets thrown into the mix, and the guys make plans to lobby him for an exhibition match on Friday.From there, the duo detours into an even weirder local trend: a Boise man (and now a Pocatello copycat) making viral videos of himself urinating in public spaces. They speculate on the TikTok comment section (“Can you do Nampa next?”), worry about Quinn’s Pond, and laugh at how quickly a dare becomes a felony.Midway through, Peaches segues into the horror books that can scar you for life after a heated r/HorrorLit thread. Viktor rattles off his personal nightmares (Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door, Dead Inside, The Slob), Peaches recalls A Child Called It, and both marvel at Cormac McCarthy’s The Road as the “I know it’s gonna wreck me” book. It’s like a book club for emotionally masochistic readers.The show winds down with a discussion about stink vs. cologne overload. From Walmart farmers and In-N-Out cigarette clouds to JC Penney teens spraying test bottles 12 times, Peaches and Viktor hammer home that “yes, soap is good” and “no, your Axe cloud is not.” The running “let that sink in” gag (or “let that smell sink in”) seals the episode with a smirk.It’s Idaho weirdness, horror book nerdery, and hygiene roasts — classic Noon Hour chaos.
Ep 82Ep. 82 - Upper-Middle-Class Problems: Cry Harder - 09/09/2025
Peaches and Viktor Wilt dive headfirst into another chaotic Tuesday, starting with a viral clip of a 73-year-old senator warning that eating foreign shrimp could make you look like the Alien from Alien. That sparks a whole debate on age limits for politicians — should there be aptitude tests? Hard cutoffs at 60? And if so, should the same apply to radio hosts who are still slinging Top 40 songs well into their 60s? Stern, Seacrest, Elvis Duran — nobody’s safe.From there, the guys spin off into travel horror stories and overrated cities. Viktor recalls being hustled for CDs on Hollywood Boulevard, while Peaches points out Vegas price-gouging ($10 toothpaste at Circus Circus!) and LA’s questionable Olympic prep for 2028. They weigh in on whether Austin, Nashville, and Houston live up to the hype — with a detour into homeless sweeps, fake Michael Jordans on Hollywood Blvd, and why Vegas burns you out in exactly three days.Then it’s time for some first-world whining straight from Reddit’s “upper middle class problems” thread. The duo roasts everything from ski trips gone wrong, hot tubs that are “too hot,” washer/dryer placement woes, lake-house dock repairs, and even the tragedy of losing a Duolingo streak on an international flight. Naturally, this leads to Peaches clowning on “$20,000 boat guy” and Viktor’s inevitable “rich people problems” voice.It’s equal parts political roast, travel therapy, and lifestyle mockery — wrapped in the sharp banter only Peaches and Viktor can deliver.
Ep 81Ep. 81 - Pizza Heals All Wounds (and Guts) - 08/22/2025
It’s Friday on Madness & Mayhem, and Peaches and Viktor are feeling (slightly) better than yesterday — thanks to pizza therapy. The show kicks off with food talk ranging from wood-fired pizzas to highfalutin “chicken cordon bleu” pies, before diving into Peaches’ first professional massage experience. Viktor predicts disaster, complete with security cam footage if the massage table collapses under Peaches’ 6’9” frame.From there, things take a turn into the world of serial marriages and divorces, with Larry King, Elizabeth Taylor, and J.Lo’s ring count all under fire. Peaches admits he’s only giving himself two tries max at marriage, while Viktor argues the loneliness factor might push him further. That segues into an absurd tangent on people marrying AI partners, complete with South Park-level vows and a crying bride clutching her smartphone.The conversation then pivots to the Howard Stern saga — was his “retirement scare” a desperate bid for relevance? Peaches and Viktor break down his decline from shock jock legend to “basement broadcaster,” roasting his summer-long vacations, celebrity-only studio appearances, and bloated $100M contracts.Finally, the guys wrap the week with some classic radio rivalry banter, calling out another local station for ripping off their old “pizza delivery” promotion. Naturally, this sparks ideas for their own food drops — from taco tosses to soup surprises to Peaches’ soon-to-be-iconic “Pupusa Party.” Expect sarcasm, chaos, and way too much talk about food — just another Friday in the Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem.
Ep 80Ep. 80 - Paul Heyman Hair and the Awkward Fat Kid - 08/21/2025
It’s a “pre-Friday bummer edition” of Madness & Mayhem as Peaches and Viktor Wilt tackle the highs and lows of the week. Things start on a somber note with the tragic news of Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds’ death in a motorcycle accident, a gut-punch for the metal world. The guys reflect on his legacy, the chaos of traffic accidents, and the impact on fans before paying tribute with a Mastodon double-play.From there, the tone lightens as the duo skewers National Radio Day clichés — including microphone tattoos, endless call letter lists, and radio boomers who post 40-year-old glam shots. Peaches jokes about claiming all 13 Riverbend stations just to flex, while Viktor admits he actually celebrated by shopping for a carpet shampooer. (That’s adulthood, folks.)The conversation then veers into first-world problems like Roombas getting lost, cheap vacuums that “don’t suck,” and whether one-ply toilet paper should be outlawed. Peaches also fields a weird fan interaction at a Seether show, prompting a takedown of bad concert crowds, sweaty pit people, and overdramatic pass-out artists.Finally, the two dive into the world of natural talents (Peaches: being fat and awkward; Viktor: being short with the “golden horseshoe” hairstyle threat). This spirals into a debate about leg-lengthening surgery, bald confidence, and why some guys insist on rocking the ponytailed horseshoe look — aka the Paul Heyman special.It’s equal parts tribute, roast, and life advice — in other words, just another day in the Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem.
Ep 79Ep. 79 - Maddawg’s Tinder Resume: Apply Within - 08/20/2025
It’s another unfiltered Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem except this time Viktor’s out, and Peaches is joined by the chaotic force of nature that is Maddie “Maddawg” Kidd. And what do they end up doing with their hour? Building Maddie a dating profile live on-air, of course.From Peaches reading out Instagram comments from bold listeners trying to shoot their shot, to Maddie revealing her grandma’s-house-meets-emo aesthetic, the two spiral into skinny jeans debates, fire-fit shopping trips, and the questionable idea of handing out “dating resumes” at local rock shows. Maddie opens up about her fear of dating apps, her room full of fish tanks, and her inability to keep a plant alive, while Peaches teases her with Halloween costume ideas and even offers to go undercover as her wingman with a fake mustache and all.All the while, Peaches makes it clear he’s not the one dating, he’s already locked down with Aubrie, he’s just here to stir the pot and play chaotic big brother. Between terrible freestyle raps, weird music bed experiments, and Maddie’s confession about crying to Foo Fighters’ “Everlong,” this episode perfectly balances hilarity, sarcasm, and that weird sibling energy only Peaches and Maddawg can deliver.
Ep 78Ep. 78 - Who Had The Greatest Debut Album? - 08/19/2025
Peaches, Viktor, and callers engaged in a lively debate about the greatest rock debut album of all time, referencing a list from ultimateclassicrock.com. Viktor Wilt passionately argued that Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction is the best, citing its classic tracks like "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Sweet Child of Mine". However, he noted that the list ranked it at number four, behind albums from Led Zeppelin, George Harrison, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The discussion also included a variety of other fan-favorite debut albums, such as System of a Down's first album, Everclear's World of Noise, and Metallica's Kill 'Em All.Beyond the music discussion, Peaches and Viktor delved into advice from social media posts. They tackled a serious question from a man whose wife revealed she was in love with her best friend. Viktor Wilt's straightforward advice was for him to "move on" and "find somebody new". On a lighter note, they discussed a post about a girlfriend who stopped kissing her boyfriend after he ate a cricket. The episode concluded with Peaches sharing a personal story about his upcoming 29th birthday and his girlfriend, Aubrie, getting him a massage, an experience he expressed discomfort with.
Ep 77Ep. 77 - Strung-Out Rasputin & Cowboy Korn - 08/18/2025
Peaches is back in the studio with Viktor Wilt and newcomer Jeff, and today’s Madness & Mayhem lives up to its name. Things kick off with a roast session on Jade’s straightened beard (described as “strung-out Rasputin”) before diving into plane disaster stories, floating the river, and the unique pedestrian-hating vibe of Bozeman, Montana.From there, the crew spirals into everything from tattoo debates (Peaches still refusing to ink up, Viktor defending his spur-of-the-moment Ozzy signature tattoo, and Jeff repping New Found Glory lyrics) to what exactly “cowboy corn” means as a music genre. With help from Josh at Classy 97, the guys discover it’s a mix of country music and storytelling — but naturally, Korn covers become the running gag.The conversation shifts again when Peaches finds himself compared to the cartoon mascot from Fred Meyer, and then it’s onto the world of rock star tour riders. The gang contrasts Nine Inch Nails’ fruit-and-cheese health list with Pantera’s booze buffet and Steve Martin’s joke rider demanding an Icelandic horse. That leads into the inevitable question: what would be on their own tour riders? From IPA and brisket nachos to charcuterie boards, Tums, and a suspiciously large stash of over-the-counter meds, the answers are pure chaos.Add in Victor’s germaphobe tendencies, Peaches’ sharp sarcasm, Jeff’s awkward charm, and enough side tangents to fill a whole festival lineup, and you’ve got another classic Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem.
Ep 76Ep. 76 - Sorry for the Inconvenience, Blame My Butt - 08/14/2025
In this episode of the "Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem" podcast, Peaches discusses a wide range of topics. He shares his thoughts on the latest "New Heights" podcast episode featuring Taylor Swift, which had 10 million views as of this morning. He notes how people, whom he compares to the Riddler from Batman, are overanalyzing every detail of Swift's appearance in the interview, from the trophies behind her and Travis to her orange lipstick. The orange lipstick is rumored to be a hint for her new album, The Life of a Show Girl, which is set to be released on October 3. That same day, Mudvayne, Static X, and Vended will perform in Pocatello, and Bert Kreischer will be in Idaho Falls. The host also talks about the band Megadeth, who announced that their next studio album will be their last, followed by a farewell tour. He speculates that the announcement may be AI-generated due to its language. Other topics include a TikToker's severe food poisoning incident on a United flight that caused a hazmat cleanup and flight cancellation , a community of 16,000 people who are engaged to AI soulmates , and the challenges of a tall person finding a suitable rental car for an upcoming trip.
Ep 75Ep. 75 - Public Humiliation: The Fantasy Football Way - 08/13/2025
It’s hump day in the exact middle of the middle of the week, and Peaches is riding solo while Viktor takes the week off. Today’s episode kicks off with a Deftones track and rolls straight into the latest office drama — the creation of the Riverbend Fantasy Football League. Peaches reveals the hilarious (and humiliating) punishment for the last-place finisher, courtesy of “the big boss man” — a promo to air on all 13 Riverbend Media stations confessing they’re the “absolute worst.”Peaches also teases the idea of a Peaches Birthday Takeover on August 29th, where he’d play nothing but his picks all afternoon. The conversation then turns to a listener-driven question: Which band should be way bigger than they are? Responses range from nostalgia acts like Silverstein and Four Year Strong to locals like Godbone, with a nod to bands like Sleep Theory on the rise.Things heat up when Peaches weighs in on The Woody Show influencer drama, ripping into outdated radio tropes like horoscopes, weather updates, traffic reports, and cringe-worthy segments like Second Date Update. His call to action? Radio needs to stop phoning it in and start innovating to compete in today’s podcast-heavy world.Finally, Peaches wraps with a community shout-out: details on Saturday’s Idaho Falls Farmers Market food drive with Justin from 105 The Hawk and Josh from Classy 97, plus 170 vendors to explore. All this wrapped in the sarcastic, unapologetic energy that makes Madness & Mayhem exactly what it says on the tin.

Peaches humorously speculates about the upcoming podcast episode featuring Taylor Swift, which he predicts will be one of the biggest of all time.The host also touches on a viral story about a 21-year-old named Josie Stinson, who signed up for an anti-loneliness club event but was the only person to show up. This story prompts Peaches to reflect on his own "Peaches Needs a Pal" videos and his hope for similar viral success.Peaches then delves into the world of music and video games, discussing a Reddit question about the greatest video game soundtrack of all time. He shares his personal favorites, including soundtracks from wrestling games like SmackDown vs. Raw and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. The conversation takes an interesting turn as he mentions the surprising inclusion of both Electric Callboy and Lizzo on the same Madden 26 soundtrack.Finally, Peaches wraps up the show by exploring another Reddit thread about things rich people spend money on that we can't imagine. He shares examples like an underground parking garage that fits 80 cars and having a household chief of staff to manage multiple estates. Peaches compares this lifestyle to his own one-person operation, highlighting the stark contrast with a celebrity like Howard Stern, who has a team of 65 people working on his show.
Ep 73Ep. 73 - A Solid Six and a Broken Collarbone - 08/11/2025
On this solo episode of the "Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem," Peaches is filling in for Victor, who is out for the week to help his daughter move to Bellingham, Washington. Peaches starts the show by discussing four men who are rowing a seven-meter boat across the Atlantic Ocean. The men are attempting to set a Guinness World Record for the first unassisted row from the mainland U.S. to the mainland U.K.. The mission is also to raise awareness and money for mental health support for military personnel through the U.K. charity Head Up. Next, Peaches talks about a website called makemydrivefun.com, which suggests quirky stops for road trips. He gives examples of oddities on a road trip from Idaho Falls to Seal Beach, California, such as the world's largest blender in Orem, Utah, and Nursing Home Stonehenge in American Fork, Utah. Peaches also talks about the drama surrounding the syndicated radio show "The Woody Show" and a social media influencer they interviewed.

With Viktor and Maddie out, Peaches goes solo on this episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, covering everything from viral spinal injuries to Howard Stern's $500 million contract to a Twitter beef between MrBeast and a metalcore vocalist. It's chaotic. It's personal. It's a little lonely—but it's all Peaches.He kicks things off reacting to rumors that Howard Stern’s run at SiriusXM might be coming to an end, discussing Stern's legendary career, the decline of political radio, and asking the real question: Can Peaches take over that $100 million-a-year contract? (Short answer: we’re manifesting it.)Then things get unhinged:A Russian influencer breaks her spine attempting the viral “Nicki Minaj Stiletto Challenge”—Peaches breaks it down, questions how it went viral, and admits he’s never seen half the stuff “taking TikTok by storm.”He debates faking an injury for Instagram fame, tries to pronounce Mariana Barutkina, and wonders aloud if her spine-shattering moment will launch her career.Peaches spirals into a comedy movie list featuring This Is Spinal Tap, Airplane!, and Life of Brian—only to roast Monty Python as overrated and declare Team America: World Police criminally underrated.Then, in the “I did not see this coming” moment of the hour, Peaches discusses a feud between Attila frontman Chris “Fronz” Fronzak and YouTuber MrBeast, over the latter’s Team Water charity campaign.Peaches sides with clean water and common sense, dragging Fronz for clout-chasing while also admitting: “If a metal guy starts screaming about me online, that’s a career milestone.”If you love solo rants, pop culture chaos, and the occasional rant about watermelons and vacuums, this one’s peak solo Peaches.
Ep 71Ep. 71 - Live, Laugh, Lou Bega - 08/05/2025
Today on The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches and Viktor Wilt cover everything from grizzly bear charges in Alaska to paid parking rage in downtown Idaho Falls, to the real reason Stephen King almost got divorced—hint: it involves Mambo No. 5 on loop and a lot of typewriter aggression.The chaos begins with the viral video of Buoy the Seattle Kraken mascot almost getting mauled by a bear during a fishing trip in Alaska. The guys break down the footage, question why the NHL sends people into wilderness scenarios, and pitch the idea of the mascot suit being preserved like a fallen soldier’s uniform. It spirals into a critique of sports leagues going global, Peaches' contempt for soccer flops, and Viktor comparing the NBA to soccer with sneakers.Then:Peaches breaks the news about Idaho Falls’ new downtown parking rates, including a $10/hour cap by hour fourViktor reads the pricing breakdown like it’s a hostage letter, and Peaches explains why you should never tell people about the free lot behind the libraryThey both spiral into an anti-winter rant… and then start Zillow-shopping vacation homes in Oregon and ArizonaThen it gets worse: Peaches reveals Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo is asking the public to donate their unwanted pets to feed predators.

Ep 70Ep. 70 - This Is My Tinder—There’s a French Horn in It - 08/04/2025
Peaches and Viktor Wilt kick off the week with a chaotic blend of giant men, AI slurs, and dating advice, only for Maddie Kidd (aka Maddawg) to join late in the hour and add the emotional instability we all needed. The show opens with a bizarre but hilarious deep dive into the lives (and deaths) of Robert Wadlow and Andre the Giant, covering 20-second farts, custom Boy Scout uniforms, and the logistics of building a 10-foot-long bed. The verdict: being tall sounds miserable, but maybe worth it for the statue at Ripley’s.From there, it only gets weirder:Peaches introduces “clanker,” the new alleged slur for people who date robots, and Viktor tries to figure out whether the term refers to the person or the machineThe team gets existential about ChatGPT taking over their data and whether yelling at AI is gonna come back to haunt themViktor reminds the youth to live with someone before marrying them and to maybe skip the wedding if you're just doing it to make your mom happyPeaches shouts out every guy from the “hate your wife” joke era and advises them all to just get divorced already.Then Maddie joins for:A full roast of her Tinder strategy, including a potential Subaru-themed thirst trap and a deeply aesthetic photo of her crying in the Snake RiverA debate about whether or not she could pull off a shaved head (and whether Maddie's flat baby head would ever let her try)Talk of wig redistribution, aesthetic breakdowns, grandma-core, and digital camerasAnd the invention of the next great KBEAR campaign: Maddie Needs a PalIt’s everything you love about Madness & Mayhem—giant dead guys, terrible dating apps, AI slander, and way too much personal oversharing.
