Episode 105 - University Memories, Fashion and Who Said the Lyric?

30 July 2026

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

Episode 105 opens with Hossein and Igor discussing Drake, Lupe Fiasco and the difference between technical lyricism and writing that connects with a wider audience.

The conversation moves into exhaustion, Red Bull, sugar-free energy drinks and caffeine dependency. Hossein also reflects on an awkward interaction at an event, potentially missing a flirtatious approach and why getting older and being married changes how much importance you place on strangers’ opinions.

After another OTD freestyle, the guys revisit their university years. They remember skipping class, studying at the last minute, making questionable decisions, playing 2K, sharing meals and building friendships that continued beyond campus.

They also discuss buying an Xbox, playing GTA and using adulthood to fulfil some of the dreams their younger selves once had. This leads into a broader conversation about failure, education, finding your own path and the difficulties facing young South Africans.

Later, the guys explore fashion, expensive adult wardrobes, dream brand collaborations, fabrics, denim, underwear, packaging, quiet luxury and creating clothing that communicates a South African identity without depending on obvious symbols.

The episode closes with “Who Said the Lyric?”, featuring lyrics from Playboi Carti’s “Fell in Luv” and Kanye West’s “Gorgeous.”
