Ep. 234 - The Only Podcast Where You Can Win Aftershock Passes and Hear About Stone Skimming Cheaters - 09/16/2025

This episode of Peaches Pit Party is what happens when you cram a Walmart holiday aisle, a Yellowstone geyser, and a metal festival lineup into a blender and hit “purée.” We kick off with Peaches discovering it’s 100 days until Christmas, then spiraling about Rexburg Walmart being looted of mirrors by returning college students. After plugging the Halfway Giveaway for Aftershock Festival (GA passes but BYO airfare), he whiplashes into In This Moment ticket giveaways and the upcoming crazy Figure-8 Car Races at the Rigby Fairgrounds. From there, the show takes a hard left into Yellowstone Park’s hat crisis — over $6,000 worth of sunhats, bucket hats, pizza boxes, and a ball cap literally reading “I pee in the lake” retrieved from geysers this year. This somehow segues into Peaches’ hat-size woes: his upcoming 1920s jazz party costume requires a fedora so large it could double as a satellite dish.Then it’s international sports absurdity: the World Stone Skimming Championships cheating scandal (stones secretly ground to perfect skipping size, judged by a device called the “Ring of Truth”), Peaches fantasizing about discovering his friend is a secret stone-skimming legend, and the surreal purchase of Fyre Festival’s trademarks by LimeWire. The sports update continues with Joe Burrow’s turf toe surgery, Tom Brady’s flag football comeback in Saudi Arabia, and NASCAR driver Ryan Blaney’s nephew hijacking his race radio mid-lap to cheer him on.The back half goes full “rock and roll group therapy.” Peaches dunks on Zach Bryan fence-hopping to fight Gavin Adcock, riffs on bizarre country artist names (“Braxton Moonshine,” “Theodore Spaghetti Strings”), and laments missing Bring Me the Horizon, Motionless in White, and The Plot in You while hyping up Chevelle and In This Moment shows. We then veer into Stephen King film adaptations, unread horror books collecting dust, and Atreyu’s suspicious online funeral stunt (RIP bio, atreyuisdead.com). Finally, the episode crescendoes with the Benson Boone cameraman urination scandal in Florida and a British dental hygienist who sued a coworker for $33,000 over repeated eye rolls. By the time Peaches and a caller start roasting bands they “want to like but just can’t” (Sleep Token, Pearl Jam, Volbeat, Coheed and Cambria), the episode has transformed into a live-action Onion article. It’s chaos, it’s music nerd confessions, it’s the only show where hats, haunted houses, and hardcore breakdowns collide.
