Smith is surprisingly calm and constantly reminds the listeners about the 1970s and the classic "rock n roll" lifestyle. He dislikes Sage, the Radio X DJ, telling her to "get over it!" during the intro to Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream". In one broadcast, Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith says that, "all we need is patience, I said it before and I'll say it again," probably referring to the Guns' N' Roses song "Patience."

Summary: Radio X is an Alternative and period modern rock radio station hosted by Sage (voiced by Jodie Shawback[4]). Sage is a very self-obsessed woman and self-confessed rebel who seems to always be worked up about something, making her a stereotypical Gen X-er. Sage has a bleak outlook on life and her most apparent obsessions are the sound of her own voice, along with sex as she admits to have slept with the entire Danzig line-up, along with a man she did behind the Cluckin Bell, and pleads could somebody please sleep with me! during the outro to Soundgardens Rusty Cage, amongst at least two other references. She comes from an upper class suburban family that gave her a trust fund, which she takes shame in, stating that she is poor in spirit. Sage has strong dislike towards people over the age of 29, believes in reincarnation and admits to having huffed paint and ether. Sage reacts negatively to the in-game events barring the Los Santos riots, and gets excited when the forecast predicts rain.
Radio X picks up a couple of callers, however these two callers are both voiced by Jeff Berlin who voices and produces the Radio X imaging. The name itself is a possible reference on Generation X, who came of age and were the main listeners of the genre in the early 90s, and/or Detroits alt-rock radio station 89X Radio, which was founded in the very early 90s.
