Ep. 240 - Peaches Accidentally Started A Back-Waxing Support Group - 08/07/2026

Peaches and Viktor somehow transform an ordinary Friday into a conversation that ricochets between smooth backs, failed sushi, government paperwork, grocery store rage, and one very confused pharmacy. Peaches explains how a simple attempt to apply self-tanner escalated into recruiting friends to paint his back, discovering an impressive amount of back hair, and unexpectedly receiving an at-home waxing session that left him feeling like a freshly detailed sports car. Viktor, meanwhile, relives the heartbreak of watching someone else's halibut become the greatest meal he's ever seen while his own sushi tasted like culinary disappointment rolled in seaweed. From there, the show wanders into childhood misconceptions that somehow survived into adulthood, passport photos that resemble police mugshots, driver's license pictures that refuse to age gracefully, and the bizarre realization that replacing an ID is somehow easier than taking a decent photograph. Then comes an unexpectedly triumphant moment at a pharmacy when Viktor shocks an entire staff by solving a malfunctioning card reader with the ancient retail trick of wrapping a card in a plastic bag, instantly becoming the unlikely wizard of point-of-sale technology. The second half becomes a surprisingly passionate roast of self-checkout lanes, debit-card disasters, traffic jams inside WinCo, people who freeze in front of checkout machines like they're buffering, and the strange obstacle course that grocery shopping has become. Just when it seems impossible for the conversation to wander any farther, Peaches introduces the Queens of the Stone Age complaint hotline, leading to a series of increasingly ridiculous phone calls that include genuine praise, fake outrage, and the realization that leaving a voicemail for one of your favorite bands is somehow a perfectly acceptable use of company time. If you've ever had your card declined over a three-dollar drink, lost an argument with self-checkout, hated your driver's license photo, or wondered how someone ends up discussing wax strips, mushroom drinks, and desert rock legends in the same afternoon, this episode delivers one strange turn after another.
