Welcome to the October 9th episode of Peaches Pit Party, otherwise known as the “Thursday before chaos” episode — or as Brenden Peach calls it, Pre-Friday, the most misleading day of the week. This one opens with Peach rattling off an unreasonably enthusiastic preview for the In This Moment show — like a man hyped on Monster and Advil — before slowly unraveling into a bizarre odyssey of lawsuits, zoo fights, dead Disney guests, and frog-based medical treatments.
It starts innocently enough: haunted house giveaways, Halloween hype, and the upcoming “Black Mass Tour.” Then — BAM — LeBron James enters the chat. Apparently, the man tricked the world with a fake retirement teaser that turned out to be an ad for Hennessy, and now a guy who dropped $800 on Lakers tickets is suing him for emotional distress. Naturally, Peach follows that bombshell with the story of Mike Tyson trying to pay $10,000 to fight a gorilla because “he was bullying the other primates.” Yes. That’s a real sentence. Somewhere between LeBron’s “Le Decision” and Mike Tyson vs. Gorilla: Dawn of Stupidity, Peach also wonders how Hallmark actors make a living — before deep diving into the net worth of Jonathan Bennett from Mean Girls like it’s national security intel.
Then things take a hard left into darkness when Peach recounts the story of a woman dying on Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion ride. He handles it delicately for about five seconds before nervously laughing and saying, “At least she didn’t die on the ride next to someone.” He then plays The Pretty Reckless – “For I Am Death” because, of course, he does. After that tonal car crash, Peach casually reports that a Twitch streamer named Fandy gave birth live on stream, and the internet watched like it was a nature documentary.
Meanwhile, Peach’s own back is falling apart like a 20-year-old recliner. He hobbles through Costco, sees a former local radio legend, and pretends not to recognize him so he doesn’t have to limp over and say hi. Then — because the universe runs on irony — he finds a news story about an elderly woman in China who swallowed eight live frogs to cure her back pain, which immediately becomes his new recovery plan.
The episode finishes with two top-tier Halloween stories: one couple’s insanely realistic burning-house display keeps triggering 911 calls, and a Kentucky man’s “decorations” — featuring fake dead bodies labeled after city officials — earn him a police visit and a terrorism charge. Somewhere between all of this, Peach coins the phrase “Fun-Filled Friday (F³)” and teases a mysterious video project like he’s Marvel Studios. It’s a fever dream of sports chaos, spooky news, and frog medicine — the only show where LeBron James, Mike Tyson, Disneyland death, and frog smoothies coexist in perfect, unhinged harmony.
