Ep. 288 - This Studio Is Held Together by Hope and Electrical Tape - 12/23/2025

Peaches Pit Party from Tuesday, December 23rd, 2025 / Peaches limps into a half-day pre-holiday broadcast while the KBEAR studio collapses around him like a low-budget escape room, recounting a surreal morning of being shuffled between broken rooms, missing software, dead phones, and a production setup that actively refuses to cooperate. He reflects on recording the show early while people desperately try calling a studio he is physically not inside, sets expectations for his disappearing act through Christmas, and immediately swerves into a grim but oddly nostalgic breakdown of Call of Duty memories after reacting to the death of franchise creator Vince Zampella and TMZ airing footage that probably never needed to exist. From there, the episode ricochets wildly through Powerball delusions, the very real dangers of sudden wealth, and a paranoid spiral involving poisoned dinners, sketchy relatives, and why winning the lottery might actually be a curse with a press conference attached. Peaches then comforts listeners by revealing Air India once misplaced an entire Boeing airplane for thirteen years, drags Draymond Green for storming off mid game, questions why the Kansas City Chiefs are fleeing Missouri only to land somewhere that makes geographic sense to absolutely no one, and proposes the extremely acceptable rebrand of the Topeka Chiefs. Childhood memories of donut scented PE laps spiral into a present day rant about Massachusetts residents filing complaints because their houses smell too much like Dunkin, which somehow leads into whale sharks being harassed for selfies, people ignoring every rule ever written, and the general inability of humans to behave when a camera is involved. The show descends further into absurdity with lawsuits over cat poop, public health warnings about sewer rats launching surprise attacks via toilets, Waymo robot cars allegedly transporting bonus trunk humans, and the nightmare scenario of those vehicles ever touching Idaho Falls. Peaches debates rage bait journalism, defends Sleep Token against professional instigators, considers intentionally angering Dr Pepper loyalists for sport, reacts to a mall Santa being fired for smacking a kid’s hand, contemplates his own terrifying potential as an extra tall bearded Santa, and learns in real time that his girlfriend watches social media at double speed like a normal person coping with the internet. The episode barrels through movie hatred, banned anime conventions, music industry deaths, Ozzy’s final year, broken button bars, a stripped down What the Headline segment, and finally lands on a surprisingly sincere holiday sendoff before Peaches vanishes for Christmas with the studio still barely standing.
