    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.” ## Hosts- Vinny- Hossein- IgorInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thirdavenuepodcastVinny:https://www.instagram.com/vinnytheperformerHossein:https://www.instagram.com/hosseinmangIgor:https://www.instagram.com/igor_zitoniTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thirdavenuepodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@vinnytheperformerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@hosseinmang2

    Episode 104 - Superhero Nostalgia, Special Family Announcement, Lost Albums & Becoming Uncles, etc

    Hossein and Igor return for Episode 104, recording outside after the previous week’s security incident. They reflect on the confrontation, security work in South Africa, Spain’s World Cup victory and Christopher Nolan’s approach to cinema. The guys debate Tenet versus Oppenheimer, expensive movie tickets, three-hour runtimes and whether physical IMAX creates an experience that most viewers cannot properly access. After two OTD freestyles, the conversation moves through Spider-Man, “Raboobi,” Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland, Miles Morales and the cultural reach of superhero characters. They also revisit The Incredibles, Toy Story, Shrek and the nostalgia attached to animated films. The music discussion includes Rihanna, Beyoncé, Frank Ocean’s lost post-Blonde era, Playboi Carti’s unreleased music, Kanye West’s “Future Sounds” and Travis Scott’s “Telekinesis.” The episode then becomes more personal when Vinny calls in to introduce his son, Mikhail Luca, the newest member of the 3rd Avenue family. The guys reflect on becoming uncles, fatherhood and passing something meaningful to the next generation. Later, they discuss Tyler Perry, present fathers, Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, cinematic albums and why music should sometimes be experienced before reading online reactions. The episode closes with a new game, “Is It a Drake Lyric?”, featuring bars from Drake, Jaden Smith and Mac Miller. ## Hosts- Vinny- Hossein- IgorInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thirdavenuepodcastVinny:https://www.instagram.com/vinnytheperformerHossein:https://www.instagram.com/hosseinmangIgor:https://www.instagram.com/igor_zitoniTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thirdavenuepodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@vinnytheperformerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@hosseinmang2

    Episode 103 - HYROX Hype, Energy Drink Addiction, Social Media & Hollywood’s Same Actors, etc

    Hossein and Igor return for another two-man episode, beginning with caffeine sensitivity, coffee culture, energy drinks and the exhaustion that comes with trying to maintain a demanding adult schedule. The guys discuss why making plans becomes harder as responsibilities increase, the need for proper rest and why gaming, travel and time away from your phone can provide genuine detachment from work. After another OTD freestyle, the conversation moves into HYROX, CrossFit, running clubs and padel. Are these genuine fitness communities, or are they becoming expensive corporate social clubs? The guys unpack competition, discipline, status, personal motivation and the difference between exercising for yourself and exercising for social media. They also discuss the Enhanced Games, performance-enhancing substances, elite athletes and why hard work cannot be bought. The conversation develops into a broader reflection on self-awareness, online comparison and knowing when personal progress has become public performance. Later, the episode covers Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, physical IMAX film, Hollywood’s reliance on actors such as Tom Holland, Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney and Pedro Pascal, and whether audiences are becoming tired of seeing the same faces. The episode closes with streaming television, Desperate Housewives, YouTube documentaries, The Last Dance, Kanye West’s jeen-yuhs, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Watch the Throne and Kanye’s influence on modern music, fashion and album rollouts. ## Hosts- Vinny- Hossein- IgorInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thirdavenuepodcastVinny:https://www.instagram.com/vinnytheperformerHossein:https://www.instagram.com/hosseinmangIgor:https://www.instagram.com/igor_zitoniTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thirdavenuepodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@vinnytheperformerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@hosseinmang2

    08 July 2026 ## Disclaimer Listeners and viewers discretion is advised. This program may contain mature language, strong opinions, jokes, and conversations intended for adult audiences.

The conversation moves through Bon Iver, J.Views, The Weeknd’s Kiss Land, The Marías, Wisp, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith before another cinematic OTD freestyle leads directly into Christopher Nolan, Interstellar, Inception and Tenet. The guys unpack Matthew McConaughey’s performance, Hans Zimmer, Ludwig Göransson, Travis Scott’s “The Plan” and the importance of movie scores. They also revisit iconic soundtrack moments, Justin Bieber’s Journals era, Chris Brown, R. Kelly, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, André 3000, Kid Cudi and Kids See Ghosts. Later, the conversation turns to Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, LeBron James and the realities of ageing athletes. The episode takes an unexpected turn when security interrupts the recording in the parking lot. What follows is an unscripted conversation about profiling, respect, visibility and resolving conflict without losing control. The final tweet asks whether Google was already enough before social media, bots and artificial intelligence changed the internet. ## Hosts - Vinny - Hossein - Igor Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thirdavenuepodcast Vinny:https://www.instagram.com/vinnytheperformer Hossein:https://www.instagram.com/hosseinmang Igor:https://www.instagram.com/igor_zitoni TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thirdavenuepodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@vinnytheperformerhttps://www.tiktok.com/@hosseinmang2
