It’s a “pre-Friday bummer edition” of Madness & Mayhem as Peaches and Viktor Wilt tackle the highs and lows of the week. Things start on a somber note with the tragic news of Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds’ death in a motorcycle accident, a gut-punch for the metal world. The guys reflect on his legacy, the chaos of traffic accidents, and the impact on fans before paying tribute with a Mastodon double-play.
From there, the tone lightens as the duo skewers National Radio Day clichés — including microphone tattoos, endless call letter lists, and radio boomers who post 40-year-old glam shots. Peaches jokes about claiming all 13 Riverbend stations just to flex, while Viktor admits he actually celebrated by shopping for a carpet shampooer. (That’s adulthood, folks.)
The conversation then veers into first-world problems like Roombas getting lost, cheap vacuums that “don’t suck,” and whether one-ply toilet paper should be outlawed. Peaches also fields a weird fan interaction at a Seether show, prompting a takedown of bad concert crowds, sweaty pit people, and overdramatic pass-out artists.
Finally, the two dive into the world of natural talents (Peaches: being fat and awkward; Viktor: being short with the “golden horseshoe” hairstyle threat). This spirals into a debate about leg-lengthening surgery, bald confidence, and why some guys insist on rocking the ponytailed horseshoe look — aka the Paul Heyman special.
It’s equal parts tribute, roast, and life advice — in other words, just another day in the Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem.
