Peaches Pit Party from Thursday, December 18th, 2025 / Peaches opens the show in full last-minute holiday mode, admitting defeat to procrastination as he panic-shops for peach-themed gifts and spirals into a deeply specific memory involving a decorative peach tree, a teenage blow-up, and a moment that permanently defined his family dynamic. From there, a harmless five-dollar fishing game turns into an accidental late-night therapy session with friends scattered across the country, triggering reflections on getting older, distance, and why Discord may be the only thing keeping adulthood tolerable. The mood sharpens when Peaches breaks down Holiday Heart Syndrome, tying it directly to his own AFib diagnosis, ER visit, CPAP wake-up call, and the uncomfortable realization that he may no longer be able to confidently perform a single push-up.

The show pivots into National R
e-Gifting Day confessions that range from quietly disappearing unwanted office gifts to openly debating whether certain items deserve a second life or the trash can. That leads into a full-blown domestic reckoning as Peaches admits his apartment is filled with decades-old cups, questionable cabinets, and enough clutter to justify a listener-approved public shaming if he fails to clean it up by Monday. Meanwhile, behind the scenes radio reality sets in as he mentally prepares to hand-cut hundreds of giveaway entries with busted scissors for Merry Axe-mas, questioning why so much effort always ends with one winner and a paper cut.

Sports headlines bring vocal-cord-blown coaches, bargain Olympic ticket promises, and a parade of absurdly branded bowl games before Peaches unloads on football stereotypes after Puka Nacua dismisses concussions and his brother allegedly treats a Lakers player’s vehicle like a free rental. The holiday absurdity escalates when a live camel joins a Houston nativity scene and responds by flooring a woman mid-performance, prompting Peaches to side entirely with the camel and question every adult involved in approving livestock theater. The tone softens with a genuinely heart-warming Portland toy drive story that sounds fake until you realize it has quietly raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for hospitalized kids.

From there, Peaches rants about overheated holiday houses, family gatherings that feel like endurance tests, grandparents who preferred waiting in the car over human interaction, and why ugly Christmas sweaters become a biological threat indoors. Television gets dragged next as My Strange Addiction returns with raw meat diets, snake hoarders, and the uncomfortable question of who actually signs these people up. Music discourse takes a sharp left turn when Barack Obama’s favorite songs list collides with Peaches’ own metal sensibilities, resulting in live disbelief over a song literally titled Metal that contains absolutely none of it.

Florida headlines deliver a woman who steals a U-Haul to drive herself to court for a federal crime, proving once again that the state remains undefeated. Advent calendars get obliterated next, from overpriced Red Bull boxes to a ten-thousand-dollar whiskey briefcase that Peaches would resent owning out of spite alone. The episode wraps with a local Reddit rant about missing snow, Idaho Falls traffic doom posting, distracted drivers at stoplights, and a perfectly timed plug for Traffic School Powered by The Advocates, closing out a show that somehow manages to juggle personal vulnerability, regional frustration, and holiday nonsense without ever pretending it has its life together.
