It’s hump day in the exact middle of the middle of the week, and Peaches is riding solo while Viktor takes the week off. Today’s episode kicks off with a Deftones track and rolls straight into the latest office drama — the creation of the Riverbend Fantasy Football League. Peaches reveals the hilarious (and humiliating) punishment for the last-place finisher, courtesy of “the big boss man” — a promo to air on all 13 Riverbend Media stations confessing they’re the “absolute worst.”
Peaches also teases the idea of a Peaches Birthday Takeover on August 29th, where he’d play nothing but his picks all afternoon. The conversation then turns to a listener-driven question: Which band should be way bigger than they are? Responses range from nostalgia acts like Silverstein and Four Year Strong to locals like Godbone, with a nod to bands like Sleep Theory on the rise.
Things heat up when Peaches weighs in on The Woody Show influencer drama, ripping into outdated radio tropes like horoscopes, weather updates, traffic reports, and cringe-worthy segments like Second Date Update. His call to action? Radio needs to stop phoning it in and start innovating to compete in today’s podcast-heavy world.
Finally, Peaches wraps with a community shout-out: details on Saturday’s Idaho Falls Farmers Market food drive with Justin from 105 The Hawk and Josh from Classy 97, plus 170 vendors to explore. All this wrapped in the sarcastic, unapologetic energy that makes Madness & Mayhem exactly what it says on the tin.
