Episode Details

The Noon Hour of Madness and Mayhem somehow managed to cover the complete collapse of modern comedy, whether Joe Rogan could physically defeat Marc Maron in a parking lot argument, and Peaches emotionally preparing himself to throw away a tiny fake fox planter like it’s the ending of Toy Story 3. Viktor and Peaches spiral through everything from radio promo disasters and aging DJs trying to make TikToks at age 75, to why people without TVs are apparently one bad day away from becoming serial killers. There’s also a genuinely hilarious deep dive into old-school radio production, fake contests, offensive promos buried in station archives that absolutely cannot see daylight, and the strange realization that vintage tube TVs now cost more than modern flatscreens. Peaches contemplates downsizing his apartment and becoming “Apartment Thanos,” Viktor tries to convince him not to throw every possession into the dumpster, and the two somehow end up discussing bathroom televisions, outdoor hot tub TVs, and seductive radio imaging voices that sound like they’re being lightly electrocuted while recording station liners. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when two radio guys are left unsupervised with microphones and way too much free association, this episode is basically that.
