Episode 99 – GTA 6 Hype, All Roads Lead to San Andreas & Bafana Bafana Frenzy, etc

## DisclaimerListeners and viewers discretion is advised. This program may contain mature language, strong opinions, jokes, and conversations intended for adult audiences.

Hossein and Igor open with a Bafana score check, the public holiday, and a genuine pitch for the 4-day work week, before getting into running playlists — BPM science, Justice's "We Are Your Friends," and the fact that they're both still running with Drake's Iceman months later.

Then the episode becomes what it was always going to be: a GTA rabbit hole. The GTA 6 cover art just dropped, so we get into the hype, the pump-fakes, and buying a whole console just to play it. From there it's a love letter to San Andreas — robbing other kids in-game, the radio stations (SF-UR, K-Rose, Radio X), the band America on K-DST, and the voice cast of Samuel L. Jackson, James Woods, Debi Mazar and Charlie Murphy. We make our GTA 6 radio predictions (A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, XXXTentacion, maybe a Drake Miami record), talk Scarface and Vice City, and explain why this game is basically a market indicator for older Gen Z.

There's a real detour into console nostalgia — the PSP era, Liberty City Stories, the Vita that killed handhelds, playing San Andreas on Netflix and Red Dead on a phone — plus a proper rant about expensive hardware not making a good game (shout out Sifu, and shame on those 150GB sports titles).

We close with Opinions Nobody Asked For: the electric blanket that caught fire at 3am, the Gen Z drip uniform, the milk-vs-groceries debate, Bafana's World Cup qualifying run after the Mexico loss, and an anime corner on Dorohedoro and how Jujutsu Kaisen nearly cost someone a semester.
