Ep. 208 - My Counselor Said Love Yourself... Then I Tried Sitting On A Missing Table - 06/17/2026

On this episode of The Noon Hour of Madness & Mayhem, Peaches begins his journey toward self-improvement with physical therapy, counseling, and the horrifying assignment of standing in front of a mirror and listing things he likes about himself. Unfortunately, that same confidence-building exercise comes shortly after admitting he nearly sat down at a dining room table that no longer exists because he already sold it. Meanwhile, Viktor and Peaches dive into the strange world of people dating AI chatbots, discuss the emotional fallout of ChatGPT updates breaking up virtual relationships, and wonder how humanity arrived at this point. The conversation bounces from time travel fantasies involving smoking sections in restaurants and meeting their younger parents, to anniversary dinner drama that ended with a vape-related restaurant exit and a therapeutic walk along the Greenbelt. Things get even better when the guys debate movie scenes that would absolutely never work in real life, including surviving gunshots, explosions, and a classic film where a guy literally dies from a "busted belly." By the end, Peaches proudly explains how he's spending his evenings in The Forest chopping up sea turtles, building shrines out of cannibal body parts, terrifying virtual island inhabitants, and somehow maintaining that counseling is helping. If you've ever wanted a podcast that can connect self-esteem exercises, AI romance, sea turtle massacres, vaping incidents, Red Dead Redemption-level sadness, and forgotten furniture in under an hour, congratulations—you've found it.
