" This episode starts with dog drama at home and somehow turns into a full breakdown of energy drinks, student dating, Valentine’s Day embarrassment, uni pressure, and the kind of heartbreak only a broke student can understand.We talk about Monster, Dragon, Red Bull and old-school sweets, then get into campus game, res visits, orientation week, school relationships that never survive university, and the painful reality of missed chances. There’s also a deeper conversation about how uni shapes you outside the classroom, why being too safe can cost you memories, and how confidence changes over time.The second half turns into a full origin story of TTCBM / Corrupt Boys — the primary school crew, the rap era, the concert performance, and how childish school politics somehow felt like organised power back then.A funny, nostalgic, slightly painful episode with a lot of laughs and a lot of truth. Also: Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating.

    12 March 2026 Listeners and viewers discretion is advised.” This program contains violent content which may be too intense for some listeners/viewers. " This episode starts with a new setup and immediately spirals into fame fantasies, security guards, South African artists, and what really keeps a career alive. From there we get into R&B image, ShxtsNGigs in South Africa, podcast celebrity culture, and why followers do not always translate into a real audience. We also talk about black nerd spaces in South Africa, township caution, how people get conned, old Nokia XpressMusic memories, pirating vs convenience, Showmax frustration, Hannah Montana nostalgia, and the culture-vulture conversation around artists who borrow from hip-hop then move on. In the second half we go deep on American Psycho and Fight Club, anti-heroes vs villains, why old movies feel more human, random fake internet facts, men talking while gaming, and a tweets section that includes running with headphones, the emptiness of Tuesday, and why primary school might shape you more than high school.

    Episode 84 - Short form videos Misinformation, Elon vs Kanye, Tyra Banks Doc. World War Worries

    02 March 2026 Listeners and viewers discretion is advised.” This program contains violent content which may be too intense for some listeners/viewers. " Episode 84 is the halal edition. We start with Ramadan check-ins, weekend fasting energy, gym struggles, and the random reality of recording with background noise while still trying to grow the pod properly. From there we get into internet misinformation — including fake eagle “rebirth” facts — and a real conversation about how believable AI/short-form content has become. Then it gets heavier: degrees vs real-world skill, expertise, why some public figures get more grace than others, and a broader conversation about South Africa, public data, the economy, and why people are tired of being told things are improving when they do not actually feel it in daily life. We also lighten it up with the tweets section (including the truth that Tuesday has no soul), then go full nostalgia with Meet the Robinsons, family-table dreams, parenting fears, and the heartbreak of kids eventually growing up. We close with reactions to the America’s Next Top Model documentary, old reality TV madness, and a passionate Baby Keem Casino review — including the concept, the switches, and whether the album’s ideas hit harder than its bangers.

    Episode 83 - BAFTA Tourette’s controversy, Baby Keem Ca$ino, Office food during Ramadan, etc

    25 February 2025 Listeners and viewers discretion is advised.” This program contains violent content which may be too intense for some listeners/viewers. "This episode is Ramadan in full effect. We kick off with stand-up comedy stress — that brutal moment when you realise a joke is dying in real time — then check in on fasting: gym sessions with no caffeine, coffee withdrawals, and figuring out a routine that doesn’t ruin your workday.From there, it’s classic Third Avenue chaos: office snack tables during Ramadan, the “doggy bag” temptation, back-day tension, and an unexpectedly serious (and funny) conversation about massage parlours, street vendors, and how people hustle. We also touch on addiction, recovery, and why mental health help shouldn’t be taboo — plus how Ramadan forces you to sit in silence and self-check your habits. Then we go deeper: Sunni vs Shia misconceptions, why you can’t speak on something you’ve never verified, and the one life lesson school actually taught — stop spreading rumours and ask real people. We round it off with the BAFTA Tourette’s controversy debate, a serious dates ranking (dry dates vs mushy), sushi and “fake Chinese food” rants, cultural appropriation in music (K-pop/hip-hop), and a focused breakdown of Baby Keem’s “Casino” — the switches, the trauma, and why the concept actually works.

    Episode 82 - “IS IT RECORDING?!” , Ramadan Stories, Anime Aura, Gym Fail Story, Food Temptations

    18 February 2025 Listeners and viewers discretion is advised.” This program contains violent content which may be too intense for some listeners/viewers. " This episode starts with pure TAP stress: “is the camera recording?” panic, magnetism conspiracies, and the OCD vs anxiety debate. Then we get into Ramadan vibes — fasting, low caffeine, Ramadan Mubarak shoutouts — and a real talk story about a mosque announcement during Ramadan that felt misleading and personal. After that we hit the OTD (Off The Dome) segment, but the network chops the verse mid-way (Telkom catching heat), so we reset and run a second OTD so everyone gets a turn. From there it turns into classic 3rd Avenue: looksmaxxing and “chopped” jokes, aura as the real equaliser, and why anime motivation is undefeated (Gojo/domain expansion energy). We end with a gym story where aura farming went wrong in front of a girl watching, plus Ramadan hunger talk and the wild question: would you rather be found with a burger in your mouth or a cigarette in your hand? We hope it was recording. Peace.
