<hr />
<div>'''Reed Tucker''' is a character in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series that appears on the [[Chatterbox FM]] radio station in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], on [[West Coast Talk Radio|WCTRs]] [[WCTR|Area 53]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and is mentioned in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. In 1992 he phones into the Area 53 station, hosted by Marvin Trill. He states that "the problem" is in the food and that everyone should start masticating, which Marvin confuses for masturbating.<br />
<br />
In 2001, having re-located to [[Liberty City in GTA III|Liberty City]] Reed is interviewed by host [[Lazlow]] on Chatterbox FM about his new book, entitled "Karate and Digestion" along with "Now and Zen", a dojo that Reed founded in [[Trenton]]. Reed talks with a lisp on the show and is described by Lazlow as "a scrawny, pasty dude". Lazlow often mocks Reed. Reed claims that his mentor is a 430-year-old monk, and he practices his spiritual enlightenment in his parents' basement, which he calls a "center for spiritual enlightenment". He lives on a strict vegan diet, although he seems to want to eat meat.<br />
<br />
At the end of the interview, Reed says that he will chop the desk that Lazlow is sitting at in half with his bare hands, but fails to do so, resulting in several broken fingers, and Tucker crying. Lazlow describes that the desk "is made of two inch thick composite wood pulp, and has a mahogany veneer finish, it has three draws, and knowing this station probably cost a hundred dollars". Reed also claims that he could tear a phone book in half with his bare toes. The interview is concluded by Lazlow mocking Reed's lisp.<br />
<br />
Reed Tucker voices himself in both appearances.<br />
<br />
In Grand Theft Auto IV, Tucker is mentioned by a cab driver on Lazlow's new radio station, [[Integrity 2.0]]. The cab driver says 'Bring back that vegetarian guy! That was funny!' during an interview for the station.<br />
<br />
Reed is a co-host on "The Lazlow Show" that is hosted by [[Lazlow]]. Reed is friends with Lazlow in real life. The two worked in an ad agency together before both went into new careers.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Lazlow_Jones.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]<br />
'''Lazlow Jones''' is a real-life American talk show host who is involved in writing and producing [[Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto games]]. He voices a character of the same name in many GTA games; the in-game Lazlow is an insecure, ill-mannered radio host who has nonetheless managed to retain work across the GTA rendition of the [[United States of America|United States]] for over 20 years. As discussed below, Lazlow's in-game character is the only one to crossover between the GTA III and GTA IV eras.<br />
<br />
==In the GTA series==<br />
===GTA III Era===<br />
<br />
Lazlow's career began in the early 1980s as an intern for the [[V-Rock]] radio station in [[Vice City in GTA Vice City|Vice City]]. He was the sidekick of then-DJ [[Cousin Ed]]. Lazlow quickly moved up the radio hierarchy and became the head DJ of VROCK, exhibiting a 'bad boy' attitude and a greatly inflated ego, the latter of which came back to bite him; he was fired from the radio station shortly after the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].<br />
<br />
Lazlow re-emerged in the early 1990's on the national scene as the new host of the syndicated radio show ''[[West Coast Talk Radio|Entertaining America]]'', replacing the original host after his untimely death at the hands of a roid-raging [[Jack Howitzer]]. Lazlow lost this job due to alcoholism some time after the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].<br />
<br />
Lazlow's next known radio gig was as the host of the popular talk radio station [[Chatterbox FM]] in the late '90s, where he took calls from random listeners and interviewed eccentric guests.<br />
<br />
===GTA IV===<br />
Lazlow lost his Chatterbox FM job, was divorced by his wife, got arrested for peeing at a [[Liberty City Swingers]] game in 2002 and developed a taste for exposing himself to old women on the streets; he was arrested for this in 2005. Deciding to try a return to radio, Lazlow raised enough funds in [[2008]] to start up a new radio station in [[Algonquin]], named [[Integrity 2.0]]. His program on the station involves himself exploring Algonquin and interviewing people on the streets (likely due to him not actually having a physical studio to work from); unfortunately, his interviewing manner is poor, and it seems that his fame has waned — the people on the street whom he interviews show disdain for him, and for radio in general (even "Radio 2.0", as Lazlow calls it). During the show he makes a references to his real-life show, The Lazlow Show. He is always introducing Integrity 2.0 as "The Lazlow Show," also, he makes a comment, "...when sixteen year olds could drink and listen to metal music, you could smoke in bars, and get into high speed accidents..." which is a reference to the intro of The Lazlow Show in late 2006.<br />
<br />
Lazlow is sponsored by [[ZiT]], a program that will identify songs playing on the radio; he "presents" the company's automated greeting messages but the ZiT adverts still make fun of his need to be in the public eye, "... Our needy, washed up celebrity"<br />
<br />
By 2008, Lazlow is forty-six, having been born in 1962. In the two DLCs (The Lost and Damned & The Ballad of Gay Tony), ZiT has dropped sponsorship for him and he has taken a hiatus to find a sponsor for his show (this creates a continuity gap between the DLCs and GTA IV, because the three games supposedly take place at the same time, yet GTA IV's Lazlow recordings make no reference to dropping ZiT or going on hiatus). He apparently got sponsorship from his step-father, who runs a funeral service called "Issac Hammerstein & Daughter's Funeral Service". Lazlow apparently does not like his step-father, making fun of his profession and his daughters (which Lazlow describes as ugly and obese), accusing Issac of taking up with his mother during his dad's funeral, and called his step-father a cockface on radio. Lazlow also reveals at one point during the DLC broadcasts that he had a sister who was abducted and murdered (something he feels compelled to deny knowing anything about).<br />
<br />
He also has a LCPD record but the LCPD don't know his surname, claiming that the mystery of his surname, in the GTA world, is still unsolved and claiming the stupidity of the LCPD, as they never asked Lazlow what is his surname is.<br />
<br />
===Crossover continuities===<br />
Although the GTA III games and GTA IV are supposed to exist in different [[Universes]], the character of Lazlow appears to be an exception, as he makes many references to his past experiences as chronicled in the GTA III-era games, including direct references to Chatterbox and Vice City, among others. Presumably, in terms of GTA IV's storytelling, this simply indicates that those events and locations are common to both continuities. Lazlow does not make any reference to storyline events (i.e. the San Andreas riot of 1992, [[Phil Collins]] performing in Vice City in 1984), nor storyline characters. Lazlow has made more appearances than any other characters in GTA, appearing since GTA III, with the exception of GTA Advance, as a radio DJ each time.<br />

{{quote|Fast talking, mullet sporting, career obsessed DJ Lazlow is a man who believes he is on the way to the top. He loves the rock and roll life style, although he doesn't actually live it, and worships every morning at his mirror. He stole the V-Rock gig off his best friend and is desperate to get rid of the Vulture and make sure the focus remains tightly on himself. He believes being on the radio is a one way ticket to all the riches and girls the world has to offer. Unfortunately, it seems his ego may be the death of his career in rock and roll.

== In real life ==<br />
[[File:Lazlow.jpg|thumb|250px|Lazlow]]<br />
Behind the scenes, Lazlow is one of the writers of the game's script, providing political and cultural satire on the radio, and writing dialogue for street NPCs.<br />
<br />
''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'' was Lazlow’s first GTA game. He produced, scripted and hosted the popular [[Chatterbox FM]] radio station. He co-wrote the other radio station dialogue with [[Dan Houser]] of [[Rockstar Games]].<br />
<br />
After gaining great popularity for his GTA III work, Lazlow took a larger role in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]''. Rockstar hired Lazlow's production company, ''Radio Lazlow'', to co-write and produce all the radio stations in GTA Vice City, as well as minor character and bystander dialogue. He was also the host of Vice City radio station [[V-Rock]], referring to a comment made offhand in ''GTA III''', that he only worked at Chatterbox "because [he was] fired from the rock channel".<br />
<br />
In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', he co-wrote and produced all of the in-game radio, as well as hosting ''Entertaining America'' on [[WCTR]].<br />
<br />
He also returned as host of the ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]''' version of the Chatterbox radio show, although this time his role was smaller — during the time of Liberty City Stories, Chatterbox is merely a single show on a station, not an entire station on its own.<br />
<br />
Lazlow returned in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'' as an intern at V-Rock, working for his real life friend, [[Couzin Ed]]. Earlier in Lazlow and Couzin Eds' real-life radio careers, Lazlow was the sidekick of Couzin Ed.<br />
<br />
Lazlow returns as a member of the cast in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''. He is referred to on other channels as the host of the "long-defunct" Chatterbox FM, and is raising money for a new venture. This new idea, the channel [[Integrity 2.0]] (wherein Lazlow wanders [[Algonquin]] and interviews random pedestrians), goes on-air when the player gains access to Algonquin.<br />
<br />
Lazlow also arranged voice cameos in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' games for several key figures from the hacker magazine ''[[Wikipedia:2600: The Hacker Quarterly|2600]]'', including Emmanuel Goldstein, Bernie S., and Kevin Mitnick.<br />
<br />
Lazlow hosts his own show online called "The Lazlow Show". The show takes place once or twice a year due to his schedule at Rockstar. The show is co-hosted by [[Reed Tucker]] and [[Big Wayne]], who have both been in GTA games. The show is available on his website, but can also be found on a boxset that features every show and bonuses. Lazlow has said that after GTA IV was released, sales of the boxset went up dramatically. The show is extremely popular thanks to Lazlow's involvement in GTA, and has aired on Krock in New York and SiriusXM.<br />

<br />
'''Adam First''' is the co-host of [[Wave 103|The Wave 103]] in [[1984]] and, by [[1986]], the stations sole host.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Like most DJs in Vice City, Adam believes that his kind of music is the best, and fancies himself a music connoisseur. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], he mentions his liking for money, is a big fan of hang gliding, despises music videos because they show that the artists' looks are more important than actual talent, and insists that his mother had "nothing to do" with his "personal choice" of going into radio.<br />
<br />
Similar to the situation with the earlier version of [[V-Rock]] and [[Flash FM]] circa 1984 in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], Wave 103 in 1984 features two hosts, the British [[Trish Camden]] and American Adam, who have conflicting personalities which lead to much argument on the radio.<br />
<br />
Adam makes a cameo appearance in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] as a caller to the conspiracy theory show [[Area 53]] on [[West Coast Talk Radio|WCTR]] in [[1992]]. He says that while hang-gliding in the [[Bone County]], he saw a man at a trailer compound performing strange rituals with a [[Domestabot]]. The show host [[Marvin Trill]] (who is later revealed to be the man that Adam saw) tells him to get a real hobby and hangs up.<br />
<br />
In all his appearances, Adam First is voiced by Jamie Canfield.<br />

<div>[[File:Anywhere_City.jpg|thumb|326px|Map of Anywhere City]]<br />
<br />
'''Anywhere City''' is the name of the city featured in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]]. It is presumably called this, as GTA 2 is set in the near future, and because the city doesn't bear any resemblance to any real life city in particular, although the intro movie shows that it was filmed in [[:wp:New York City|New York City]]. Anywhere City is divided into three sectors - [[Downtown District]], [[Residential District]] and [[Industrial District]].<br />
<br />
The Downtown District is the first district Claude finds himself in. Here are the major office buildings and high flats, as well as a university and some outdated small docks. The game begins here and Claude can start taking missions from gang leaders, who ring certain telephones around the district. In this district Claude works for the [[Yakuza]] (led by [[Johnny Zoo]]), the [[Loonies]] (led by [[Elmo]]), and [[The Zaibatsu Corporation]] (led by [[Trey Welsh]]). The maximum [[Wanted Level in GTA 2|wanted level]] is 4 and therefore the highest police force encountered is the SWAT.<br />
<br />
The Residential District is the second district Claude explores and is full of blocks of flats and shops. The police headquarters, the Alma Mater Prison, a military base, the Zaibatsu Village, the Redneck RV park and the SRS Scientists laboratory are located in the Resident District. Here Claude works for the [[Scientists]] (led by [[Dr. LaBrat]]), the [[Rednecks]] (led by [[Billy Bob Bean]]) and The Zaibatsu Corporation (led by [[Red Valdez]]. The maximum wanted level is 5, and therefore the highest police force encountered are the Special Agents).<br />
<br />
The Industrial District is the third and final district Claude explores. The Industrial District mainly consists of factories, although there are also blocks of flats and a small village in the northwest, Mad Island. Mad Island is populated by a gang which always attacks Claude, regardless of Claude's respect level. Here Claude works for the [[Hare Krishna]] (led by [[Sunbeam]]), the [[Russian Mafia]] (led by [[Jerkov]]) and The Zaibatsu Corporation (led by [[Uno Carb]]). The maximum wanted level is 6, leading to an army chasing Claude.<br />
<br />
The city bears similarities to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] from [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], as they were both directly split up into Industrial ([[Portland Island]]), Commercial ([[Staunton Island]]), and Residential ([[Shoreside Vale]]) districts.<br />

<hr />
<div>Various '''radio stations''' can be received on radios in most vehicles '''in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]'''. The multi-CD soundtrack to the game was an instant best-seller.<br />
<br />
The soundtrack of the game is popular not only with fans of the game, but also with lovers of 1980's music. In the game it is played on various "radio stations" the player can tune into after stealing a car, but it has also been released in a [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Official Soundtrack Box Set|box set]] or seven separate CDs.<br />
<br />
Most radio stations play a mixture of music, DJ chat, and spoof advertising. The stations each reflect one style of music intended to evoke the atmosphere of the time.<br />
<br />
The player can listen to the following radio stations:<br />
* [[Wildstyle]] - Hip Hop, Electro<br />
* [[Flash FM]] - Pop, Rock<br />
* [[KCHAT]] - Interviews<br />
* [[Fever 105]] - Soul, Disco, R&B<br />
* [[V-Rock]] - Rock, Metal<br />
* [[VCPR]] - Political Talk Show<br />
* [[Radio Espantoso]] - Latin Jazz<br />
* [[Emotion 98.3]] - Power Ballads<br />
* [[Wave 103]] - New Wave, Synthpop<br />
* [[MP3 Player]] (PC only) - User-Defined Track Player<br />

[[V-Rock]] was also the branding of WSTB, a radio station serving Streetsboro High School in Streetsboro, Ohio. Like it's virtual successor, [[V-Rock]] played heavy metal music; indeed, given the time period [[V-Rock]] was on the air (1991-1999), it's likely the on-air station played many of the same songs as the station in the video game. [[V-Rock]] signed off the air in the wake of the Columbine tragedy, and resumed that fall with a new brand and new format. (See also [[wikipedia:WSTB|WSTB]] for additional information.)<br />

==VCPR==<br />
[[Image:VCPRlogo.jpg | right | 140px | ]] <br />
''[[Vice City Public Radio]],'' abbreviated as ''[[VCPR]]'', is hosted by [[Maurice Chavez]] (voiced by Philip Anthony Rodriguez), with supervisors [[Jonathan Freeloader]] (Patrick Olsen) and [[Michelle Montanius]] (Kelly Guest).<br />
<br />
On [[VCPR]] are the frequent donation drives by [[Michelle Montanius]] and [[Jonathan Freeloader]], who between shows beg for support money (as [[VCPR]] is a public show, it relies on donations) and try to make the listener feel as guilty as possible about listening yet not supporting Public Radio.<br />
<br />
===Pressing Issues===<br />
Much like [[KCHAT]], [[VCPR]] features live interviews; unlike the celebrity interviews on [[KCHAT]], however, the show broadcast on [[VCPR]] within the game is called ''Pressing Issues'', and focuses on exactly that&mdash;particular issues are chosen, and [[Maurice Chavez]] mediates an informal debate between selected guests. Three such issues are broadcast within the game.<br />
<br />
====Morality====<br />
The first issue deals with issues of general ''morality''. The three guests for this debate are firebrand [[Pastor Richards]] (David Green), harried activist, mother and wife [[Jan Brown]] (Maureen Silliman), and naturist [[Barry Stark]] (Renaud Sebbane). [[Pastor Richards]] is a corrupt and wholly insane televangelist, who promises salvation (in the form of a radiation proof giant living space/effigy of [[Pastor Richards|Richards]]) to all those who pay him very large donations (he later reveals that he was actually planning on using the money to build himself a palace mansion in Hawaii). [[Jan Brown]] is an overstressed, overattentive mother who is cheated on (constantly) by her husband. [[Barry Stark]] is a naturist and a liar, with sexuality issues (he gets erections several times during the debate). By the end of this segment, [[Pastor Richards]] snaps, and, disgusted by [[Barry Stark|Stark]]'s nudism, pulls a gun on him and shoots him in the genitals, while [[Jan Brown|Brown]] passes out. [[Pastor Richards]] also ends up claiming the station as his own for a short while.<br />
<br />
[[Barry Stark]] also appeared as a caller on [[Chatterbox FM]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto III]]'', where he makes similar comments about nudity.<br />
<br />
During the interview, [[Pastor Richards]] complains that "American newspapers are owned by Canadians with an agenda". This could be a reference to the mockumentary ''The Canadian Conspiracy'', which details how the Canadian government is subverting the United States by taking over its media, and came out in 1985, one year before the setting of the game.<br />
<br />
There is a perception amongst some gamers that [[Pastor Richards]] is a caricature either of former televangelist [[Jim Bakker]] or [[Pat Robertson]]. [[Rockstar Games]] has set up a toll-free telephone line that, when called, plays a recording of [[Pastor Richards]] discussing his "Salvation Statue." The number can be reached by calling 1-866-9-SAVE-ME (972-8363).<br />
<br />
The interview goes awry when [[Pastor Richards]] pulls a gun on [[Barry Stark]] for being immoral and shoots him in the groin. [[Barry Stark|Barry]] survives and "is in need of a proctologist". The show then cuts away to [[Jonathan Freeloader|Jonathan]] and [[Michelle Montanius|Michelle]].<br />
<br />
====Perception and Positive Thinking====<br />
The second issue is that of perception and attitude. The three guests for this debate are exaggerated gothic artist [[Konstantinos Smith]] (voice artist credited as [http://konstantinos.com/ Konstantinos.com]), positive thinker, motivational speaker and shyster [[Jeremy Robard]] (Peter Silvestro), who claims that his 3 step program called "Think Your Way To Success" has changed people's lives and made him very rich, and [[Jenny Louise Crab]] (Mary Birdsong), a woman driven crazy by the murder of her foster parents, but seemingly addicted to high strength mood elevators in an effort to block the memory (as such, she is insanely hyperactive and scarily cheerful).<br />
<br />
During the show, [[Jeremy Robard|Robard]] persistently tries to sell his motivational tape series. This series is advertised elsewhere on ''Vice City'' radio, and it's worth noting that the initials for each program spells out the name of a popular illegal drug: "Motivate, Demonstrate, then Motivate Again" spells out "MDMA", the scientific abbreviation for [[wp:Ecstasy (drug)|Ecstasy]]; "Learn, Start, Doing" spells out "LSD", the abbreviation for lysergic acid diethylamide; "Think, Hold that thought, Complete" spells out "THC" the abbreviation for Tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary chemical in marijuana. Later in his dialogue he mentions, "And if you want to think *really* fast, try my crank-it-out program" (Crank is slang for Methamphetamine). <br />
<br />
Near the end of the show [[Maurice Chavez|Maurice]] eventually sees that [[Jeremy Robard]]'s program is worth nothing, that it hasn't got him anywhere, that he is not a rich successful business man, that he hasn't changed anyone's lives, and that he is nothing but a poor desperate fraud. [[Maurice Chavez|Maurice]] and [[Jeremy Robard|Jeremy]] breaks his nose with a 'heavy paperweight' on the air.<br />
<br />
====Public Safety====<br />
The third "debate" on the station concerns public safety, particularly in the context of the rising tide of crime promoted in no small part by [[Tommy Vercetti]], the game's protagonist. The three guests during this segment are [[Congressman Alex Shrub]] (voiced by Chris Lucas), an extremely right-wing, cocksure politician who is also the youngest congressman elected by the city. He believes that America needs to accept it's okay to be rich and forget the poor, and during the course of the debate he also reveals past facts about host [[Maurice Chavez]] (how he used to work as clown, his failed attempts to be an actor, suffering from anxiety, attending group therapy, wanting to get a sex change etc). Social activist and extreme [[wp:Liberalism|liberal]] [[Callum Crayshaw]] (Sean Modica) is a stereotypical concerned rich boy who wants to "help the poor" in completely unfeasible ways with an organization he formed called "Speaking for the Underdog", and often talks about his trips to other continents (funded by his wealthy businessman Dad, who doesn't seem to care about the same issues at all). The last panel member is [[wp:secession|secession]]ist and last-minute panel replacement (The previous guest was carjacked and decided to stay at home arming himself to the teeth.) [[John F. Hickory]] (LJ Gansen), an extremely radical native [[wp:Florida|Floridian]] (though it is revealed he only moved to Vice City recently) who believes that by digging a suitably large river Florida can break free of the American mainland, and finally put a stop to the people flooding in from the northern states.<br />
<br />
Of note is the common (but unofficial) perception that [[Alex Shrub]] is a caricature of presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, as well as Florida governor Jeb Bush. His last name Shrub would add to this, as a shrub is basically a bush.<br />
<br />
==Other Songs==<br />
[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] includes a few songs present in the game, through various cutscenes, that are not featured on any radio station.<br />
<br />
These include:<br />
* Al Di Meola - "Ritmo De La Noche" (Featured during the "[[Bar Brawl]]" cutscene.)<br />
* Big Country - "In a Big Country" (Featured during "[[The Driver]]" cutscene, only in earlier PS2 versions.)<br />

* Blue Öyster Cult - "I'm Burnin' for You" (Featured during the "[[Boomshine Saigon]]" cutscene.)<br />
<br />
Two unidentified songs in Café Robina, not played on Radio Espantoso, can be heard in the cutscenes to the missions [[Naval Engagement]] and [[Trojan Voodoo]]. Two other unidentified songs are played during the [[Introduction (GTA VC)|busted deal]] cutscene, and the game [[Keep Your Friends Close...|credits]].<br />
