Ep. 215 - Hulk Hogan Is Gone and So Is My Faith in July - 07/24/2025

This was supposed to be a normal Thursday. But after Ozzy’s passing earlier in the week, Peaches is hit with the news that wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has died at 71. From childhood memories of a signed statue that will never be, to stories from WrestleMania 21, this episode opens heavy—and stays unpredictable.

In this episode of Peaches Pit Party – On Demand!:

• A full tribute to Hulk Hogan’s legacy, including Peaches’ own memories from WrestleMania 21 in Los Angeles, and a cherished 3-foot Hulk Hogan statue gifted by his parents as a kid.
• Peaches reflects on loss and legacy, calling his dad just to hear his voice after realizing 71 is not that far off.
• Celebrity deaths piling up this week include not just Hogan and Ozzy, but also Chuck Mangione, Richard Simmons, and others.
• A feel-good-but-chaotic break thanks to Leonardo da Pinchey, a cat in New Zealand who’s been stealing expensive underwear, socks, and sweaters from neighbors. Peaches compares it to his childhood cat Bandit, who once stole a hundred-dollar bill and hid it under the couch.
• Venmo is now being accepted by the U.S. Treasury to contribute to the national debt. Peaches confirms the site is real and spirals about it anyway.
• A woman in the UK dies after her dog licked her wound, leading to an extended tangent about commodes, septic shock, and weirdly misleading headlines.

  • The Colorado Rockies’ first-round draft pick Ethan Holliday signs a record-breaking $9 million bonus
  • The UFL shuts down multiple franchises and announces a team coming to Boise
• Fat Joe admits to drinking 30–40 Diet Pepsis a day. Peaches can’t relate, recalls recent soda mix-up at Costa Vida, and officially pledges loyalty to full-sugar Cherry Coke.
• Peaches addresses the strange debate online that Ozzy Osbourne outliving Richard Simmons “invalidates” healthy living, and why it’s a dumb argument. Genetics, not gym memberships.
• Adam Sandler is holding a lookalike contest to promote Happy Gilmore 2. The prize includes a hockey stick putter and a bag of pickles.
• Peaches updates his summer concert schedule: Scene Queen and Deadlands in Salt Lake next week, Dropkick Murphys and Bad Religion in Pocatello next Friday, and Weird Al in Idaho Falls the week after that.
• In To Peach Their Own: Which celebrity death hit you the hardest?
  • Peaches chooses Kobe Bryant, recounting his time working at TMZ the day it broke.
