Today’s Noon Hour opens with Peaches and Viktor seriously pondering the world’s most important question: Is dating Sydney Sweeney worth the paparazzi-induced PTSD, or would you just end up communicating through her agent like a hostage negotiation? That spirals — naturally — into whether either of them could survive in Italy, Denmark, or Australia, especially after Viktor lists every venomous creature on the continent and Peaches reenacts a rattlesnake attack like a Discovery Channel reenactment narrated by a man who hates snakes.

But the real meat of this episode?

 Peaches’s glorious, explosive, long-awaited banishment from r/Seether — a subreddit run by a man who sounds like he moderates from a swivel chair made of Funko Pops. After half a year of complete silence, Captain Neckbeard descends from the shadows to unload an essay of rage at Peaches for “crimes” that Peaches no longer remembers and probably never committed.

Peaches responds with a ChatGPT-crafted, overly polite message (the ultimate troll), causing the mod to combust in real time. Viktor can barely breathe laughing as Peaches breaks down the saga: the old YouTube comments being unearthed, the subreddit tantrum, Matt’s unhinged revenge post getting immediately nuked, and how even Peaches’s ex-friend Bobby re-entered his life purely to clown on the angry Seether guy. Truly, peace was restored through mutual hatred.

Then the guys pivot to Quentin Tarantino deciding to randomly annihilate Paul Dano’s entire career for sport, Toy Story 3 being too good for the sequels that followed, and Daniel Day-Lewis staying in character so aggressively that he probably ordered craft-services lunch as Abraham Lincoln.

Viktor also recounts The Advocates surprising him with the nicest guitar he’s ever received in his life — which immediately prompted Jade to bully him for not being able to play it. Meanwhile, Peaches almost called paramedics when he thought Viktor died in the studio mid-podcast edit.
