Ep. 129 - Good Luck Finding an $800 Apartment, Idiot - 01/06/2026

Peaches and Viktor Wilt kick off this episode by accidentally pitching what might be the most unhinged KBEAR imaging idea of all time: crowd-roast liners designed to verbally body-slam everyone from the deodorant-optional guy in the back of the pit to the lifted-truck owner who parks like a menace. What starts as a creative brainstorm quickly spirals into a debate over how offended is too offended, whether AI should be trusted with comedy, and why some listeners absolutely need to hear themselves roasted on the radio.

From there, the show swerves hard into a rant-heavy therapy session about things that make people irrationally angry, including awkward eye contact, cryptic Facebook posts, zipper merging etiquette, high-beam tailgaters on Idaho highways, and the universal rage triggered by Walmart aisles clogged with slow-moving carts. Peaches shares his strong opinions on grocery delivery, fast-food restaurants that pretend the lobby doesn’t exist, and the modern hellscape of touchscreen ordering kiosks that refuse to let a human take your order.

The second half of the episode dives headfirst into local Facebook group chaos, sparked by a Life in Pocatello post accusing fast-food workers of declining customer service. This opens the floodgates to brutally honest takes on post-holiday burnout, Black Monday firings, working jobs you hate just to survive, and why telling people to “just get a different job” is wildly out of touch. Peaches unloads his In-N-Out trauma, Viktor defends exhausted workers, and both agree that January Mondays deserve a universal grace period.

The episode closes with a full-blown economic reality check: housing prices, apartment hunting delusion, boomers yelling “pay your dues,” side hustles that range from Facebook Marketplace flips to plasma donation jokes, and the shared understanding that sometimes surviving adulthood means doing whatever it takes — without pretending it’s fun. It’s loud, relatable, sarcastic, and painfully accurate… which is exactly why it works.
