Ep. 117 - The Curse of the Ross Elf - 12/08/2025

Strap in, because this episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem is basically the soundtrack to a mental breakdown inside a Guitar Center.

Peaches and Viktor kick things off by going nuclear on Avenged Sevenfold’s new disasterpiece “Magic”, a track so divisive it turned your morning show into a warzone and made Reddit hate Peaches even more than they already do. Two-thirds of listeners can’t stand it, one-third likes it, and Viktor wants to add it into rotation purely out of spite. Peak KBEAR energy. 

Then the boys deep-dive into the worst rock and metal songs of 2025, dragging everyone from Mammoth WVH to Megadeth to Hardy to Foo Fighters to Falling in Reverse. You know it’s real when even Hailstorm gets thrown under the bus — and by their own biggest East Idaho superfan, no less. 

But the musical chaos is NOTHING compared to the Cursed Elf Saga, where Peaches buys a two-foot-tall nightmare creature from Ross, terrorizes Aubrey with it, nearly stuffs it into a high chair at Applebee’s, and considers tucking it into bed as a prank. Viktor wants one too, because obviously this is how grown men celebrate Christmas. 

Somehow the episode then rockets into crime rates, catalytic converter theft, Seth Rogen being insufferable online, and why Memphis is basically GTA with humidity. Peaches even confesses that the way he got caught staying at his ex’s house was because thieves stole his catalytic converter. Romantic AND tragic. 

And of course… the Facebook group meltdowns. Chipotle vs. local restaurants. Climate change in Idaho Falls. The great Trader Joe’s conspiracy. Two O’Reilly Auto Parts stores that exist 40 feet apart for absolutely no reason. Viktor and Peaches roast the entire region like two men who deeply love East Idaho but also need it to calm down for five minutes. 

It’s unhinged. It’s chaotic. It’s everything a midday rock show should be.
