Ep. 130 - National Pass Gas Day Turned Into a Life Lecture - 01/07/2026

Peaches flies solo for this Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem and somehow turns a slow prep day into a full-blown therapy session that starts with National Pass Gas Day and ends with him accidentally becoming your motivational speaker. What begins as a dumb radio holiday spirals into gut health myths, sponsored Facebook miracle pills, and Peaches declaring war on mushroom coffee ads that promise to erase your stomach in 24 hours. From there, the show hard-pivots into a collective internet meltdown over 2016 being ten years ago, with Peaches breaking down why everyone suddenly wants Pokémon Go, the Mannequin Challenge, and their emotional innocence back — while proudly admitting he’s somehow avoided every single spoiler from Stranger Things.

Just when you think it’s going full nostalgia hour, Peaches swerves again into existential life advice, reassuring listeners that no year is “cursed,” dropping a Rocky quote, and accidentally motivating anyone panicking about getting older. The back half of the episode turns deliciously unhinged as he debates the best post-concert food, dragging Taco Bell, late-night Applebee’s guilt, and the fantasy of Waffle House chaos into the conversation — while fully acknowledging that asking this question locally might just result in people naming every fast-food restaurant ever invented.

The episode wraps with a chaotic-but-wholesome promo spiral involving pregnancy cravings, free nursery setups, expensive newborn photos, and Peaches realizing in real time how wildly expensive photographers and babies are. It’s a tight, weird, honest solo episode that somehow covers gas, nostalgia, concerts, life advice, and food — and still leaves you wanting another break.
