Welcome back to **Third Avenue Podcast / TAP** — Episode 92. This episode is a two-man special with Hossein and Igor holding it down while Vinnie is away.

The boys open with some behind-the-scenes setup chaos, car recording problems, mic checks, aircon negotiations and the usual 3rd Avenue energy before getting into the official intro. Since it is the Workers’ Day long weekend, the episode starts with a shoutout to everyone putting in work — whether at a job, in relationships, as parents, or just trying to build something meaningful. The boys also reflect on unemployment eras, the strange freedom of having no schedule, and the reality of now being adults with responsibilities. Then it is time for **OTD / Off The Dome**, Episode 92, with a smooth freestyle over a Smino and Don Toliver-inspired beat. After the freestyle, the conversation moves into Don Toliver’s current sound, social-media-driven music rollouts, soundbite culture, Drake comparisons, ASAP Rocky, R&B hybrids and what makes certain albums actually last beyond first-week hype.The episode then goes deep into Kanye West’s **Bully**, AI in music, artistic freedom, the difference between using AI as a creative tool versus replacing performance, and why Kanye’s catalogue still holds weight after nearly three decades. The boys discuss songs like **All the Love**, **Father**, **White Lines**, and the feeling of hearing “Ye” again through the music.From there, the conversation shifts into Frank Ocean, **Endless**, **Blonde**, GTA 6 comparisons, Coachella disappointment, modern R&B, the pressure of expectation, and why 2016 still feels like one of the most important years in music and culture. The second half of the episode becomes more reflective, with the boys talking about the death of culture after 2018, COVID as a cultural reset, adulthood, marriage, corporate life, braids in the office, taking care of your health, growing older, changing opinions, building your own version of adulthood, and why the podcast itself is a time capsule.

They also run through tweets about laundry that feels wet or just cold, wet socks, winter fashion, Capitec selfies, mispronounced names, respecting people’s names, getting out of bed to pee, sleep problems, caffeine addiction, university life, Gen Z, activism, UP memories, and why the show is really just about hanging out. It is another honest, funny and reflective Third Avenue Podcast episode.
