Listeners/viewers discretion is advised.” “The following program contains mature situations/themes and is intended for an older youth audience.## 1. Cold Open – FIFA Console Rant- Starts with a funny rant about that one friend who hogs the FIFA console.## 2. Intro – Welcome to 3rd Avenue (TAP)- Describe the show as 3 friends talking trash / “3 blokes talking shit in a car”.## 3. Platforms, Community & Vibe- Announce they’re now live on all major platforms.- Shout out listeners driving or “gymming” (with jokes that some aren’t really gymming).- Ask people to follow on Instagram and subscribe if they found the video randomly.## 4. Life Happens & “That’s Life”- Story about a rough morning: rain, late for work, cracked windscreen.- Instead of getting angry, they shrug it off as “that’s life”.- Mention “That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra as the soundtrack for days when nothing goes right.- Side joke about a colleague named Cleopatra and how certain names you never forget.## 5. Telkom, Ads & Internet Slop- Complain about hotspot and Telkom network problems; roast Telkom for weak towers and weak ads.- Joke that brands should hire them for youth campaigns because “we don’t watch TV”.- Celebrate the internet algorithm: GTA V nostalgia, random cooking clips, village Facebook videos, “blue shirt salsa dude”.## 6. Off-the-Dome Freestyle- Switch into an “Off the Dome” segment over a beat.- Freestyle about TAP, Joburg, the boys, and taking over the city.## 7. Gym, Motivation & Discipline- One host talks about gymming to anime / epic edits (God of War, Batman, etc.).- David Goggins clips randomly play and push them through painful sets (“who’s gonna lift the boats?”).- Real talk: the gym doesn’t get “easier”; you just keep showing up despite sore knees and life stress.- Emphasis on gratitude for still having the will to train and choosing your “pain”.## 8. World Domination & Information Age- Wild thought experiment: how would you take over the world?- Compare dictators, empires, gunpowder, nuclear weapons and using religion/national pride to unite people.- Question whether the information age really prevents extreme leaders or just feeds cognitive bias.- Say people now only look for content that confirms what they already believe; debates teach nobody anything.## 9. Boys’ Schools, Masculinity & Bullying- React to a tweet: “You can never convince me to send my son to a boys’ school.”- Share boarding-school stories: brotherhood, fights, and legendary water-balloon wars filled with soap.- Talk about how boys’ schools can build toughness and conflict-resolution but also be harsh environments.- Joke about a “parents’ boxing league” to settle bullying beef between dads instead of via lawyers.## 10. Groceries, Adulting & Outro- Rant about Black Friday: “we all have big TVs, put groceries on sale”.- Realise a small basket can cost nearly R1,000; sometimes takeout feels cheaper than cooking.- Note how adult conversations always circle back to money, business and “wealth domination”.- Wrap up by thanking listeners, noting they’re around episode 70, and promising many more 3rd Avenue episodes to come.Beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWzYL-vwfJU&t=2sInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thirdavenuepodcast https://www.instagram.com/vinnytheperformer https://www.instagram.com/hosseinmang https://www.instagram.com/igor_zitoni TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thirdavenuepodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@vinnytheperformer https://www.tiktok.com/@hosseinmang2
