GRANT BRICKMAN: Four cars, one livestream, and Grand Theft Auto VI on the horizon. The crossfire is on.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Here is the open question: does a charity car auction belong in a conversation about video games, with GTA VI approaching? Roxy, the facts.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Nova, you are on the left. Go.
NOVA: A hundred percent to charity! A car is a tiny box on a tiny rock, but a tiny box that helps people shines like a distant star.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Prue, on the right.
PRUDENCE NUANCE: The charity is clear. The report doesn't say what any car will fetch.
NOVA: Sung Kang hunts rare parts for old cars on eBay! Rare finds, rare parts, same thrill as spotting a new exoplanet, just with more bolts.
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Kang says it isn't just praise because of the work with eBay. Both can be true at once.
NOVA: eBay Live is moving into car sales! In the universe's long story that is a small turn, but I love a small turn.
PRUDENCE NUANCE: Which is the real headline: the cars, or the games?
PRUDENCE NUANCE: GTA VI is only approaching. Nobody here has driven it yet.

## The Pixel Line: viewers call in (PXL)
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The lines are open on The Pixel Line, and so is Grant's confidence.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Welcome to The Pixel Line, the phone-in. The lines are open and the nation is on hold. First caller, you are on the air.
PASSERBY: Hello? Is it true the Final Fantasy expansion got pushed back? My whole guild is in a state.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Yes, Marianne. Evercold starts early access on February 19 and launches on February 23, later than the January 2027 date. Pre-orders begin November 4.
PASSERBY: Hi. I only want to know if the Samsung comet is going to hit my DRAM.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Gerald, the comet is a Samsung product and the DRAM is in orbit. The AI told me. It's one guy, you know.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: No. 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar comet that Webb studied in late December 2025. Samsung is separate: it hosted Sam Altman and about 50 presidents.
PASSERBY: It's Hilde again. You never read my letter about the weather map from the station's 1987 broadcast.
DIRECTOR MARGE: Grant, Greta, we are off in thirty seconds. Drop the caller. Hard stop.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Thank you, Hilde. Your letter is on my desk, I am sure of it. Next time, bring a comet.

## [AD · fictional product] Meeplamine
DR. VERA VECTOR: Are board games ending badly in your home? Ask your doctor whether Meeplamine is right for your game night.
DR. VERA VECTOR: Meeplamine replaces lost pieces with quiet confidence. Do not take while flipping the board.
DIRECTOR MARGE: Side effects: sudden rule disputes, dice under the sofa, feeling of being the banker, urge to buy expansions, loud sighing, one lost token forever.
