Every single Thursday I enter this office, I get bombs. I get letter bombs, I get mail bombs, I get all kinds of bombs, except bombs in my pants. And when I see a bomb at the front door, and you try to blow up this station, you know what I do? I kick that bomb right out of my way, 'cause I'm not afraid! And you're not gonna blow this station up! You know why? Because you're idiots.
— Sammy Starock

Sammy "Samuel" Starock is the DJ of the Rockstar Radio radio station in Anywhere City in Grand Theft Auto 2.

Description[]

At the beginning of his show, he describes the chaotic nature of city and encourages listeners to "stay home and listen with [him], Sammy Starock." Later on, Starock refers to himself as "the worst racist there is" after describing an encounter he had on the subway, going so far as to compare the subway to the United Nations due to its diversity.

Near the end of the second track on his radio show, he claims that he gets bombs in the mail "every single Thursday," but proceeds to call out the people "trying to blow up [the] station" by saying they can't do it because they're "idiots."

During his caller segment, his mother calls into the station, complaining that he doesn't have "a real job". She goes on to refer to his co-workers as "idiots", which is heard to annoy Starock and cause him to interrupt her. He refutes her claim by explaining that his co-workers are "morons" and "jackasses", and makes sure to specify that he doesn't "work with idiots". Afterwards, she goes on to ask when he'll be home for supper, which seems to embarrass Starock and cause him to put her on hold for the time being.

When reacting to his next caller's view regarding masturbation as a cause of theft and violence, Starock seems to agree and even compares the philosophy to his own mother's. As the unnamed caller explains further, Starock fails to understand what he's talking about but maintains a positive attitude towards the caller and his philosophy.

He is voiced by David Deblinger. His name may be a reference to GTA developer and publisher Sam Houser and Rockstar Games (Star + Rock).
