[Pod Yourself The Wire] 204: Hard Cases, with Shereen Lani Younes Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

“I’m bummed that my episode didn’t feature more Omar.” -Shereen Lani Younes

The band continues to get back together and Matt & Vince welcome writer, filmmaker, co-host of the Ethnically Ambiguous podcast, and fellow Idris Elba appreciator, Shereen Lani Younes breakdown The Wire season two episode four, “Hard Cases.”

This episode is sort of like that scene in T2, after they shatter the T-1000 and all the blobs start wiggling back together, but instead of little liquid metal orbs globbing into one big orb, it’s Jimmy blackmailing Bubbles to get a line on Omar, Herc and Prezbo reuniting out in an offsite, and Kima & Daniels telling their wives they’re going back to a detail. In a show of unified anger, the wives light angry dinner candles. Jimmy is doing his darndest to try to convince his wife he’s worth sticking with, playing the part of a good little Irish boy who will sign any custody agreement she wants. As Shereen points out, the little scamp thinks he’s playing his wife, when really she’s playing him. He managed to piss off everyone from season one so bad that no one wants him in their band or their liquid metal blob. His options are to quit or drown, and Irish men like him will literally drown before they quit or go to therapy.

On the docks, Ziggy invents the unsolicited dick pic, and, in the HBO crossover event of the century, buys the same leather jacket Richie Aprille tried to give to Tony Soprano.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 203: Hot Shots, with Adam Tod Brown Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

“When I’m king, it’s you against the wall.” — Adam Tod Brown (not Radiohead)

Buy stock in Omar, sell stock in Motorola, and listen as writer, podcaster and founder of the Unpops Podcast Network, Adam Tod Brown joins Matt and Vince to share his opinions, both pop and unpop, of The Wire season two episode three, “Hot Shots.”

Big brain business genius Stringer Bell is bearish on telecom stocks and bullish on D’angelo’s girl, Donnette. Bearish on phones because if Poot is already in full Kevin Gates two-phone mode, the market must be saturated. Little does he know that in the future everyone will have two phones. One to listen to this pod, and the other to listen to the Frotcast. He’s bullish on Donnette because a bull is what you call the guy who’s boinking your wife while you’re in prison.

Meanwhile Jimmy does a feminism, Bunk and Freeman do racisms, Avon does a conspiracy to commit murder, Clay does a grift, Frank does a corruption, Nicky does a homophobia, and Omar does a crime because while they may all contain multitudes, they are often exactly what you expect.

Be honest, how purple would your hair have to get before you licked a dude’s butt? Tell us in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

[LIVE AT SF SKETCHFEST] X01: The Many Saints of Newark, with Anna Hossnieh Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

Our first ever live PYAG went off with minimal hitches. Very fun show, unfortunately the audio isn't great, the clips are visual, and the audience was not mic'd so it's not the greatest recording but it gets the job done. In the future, it will sound better I swear! For now, enjoy this live PYAG.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 202: Collateral Damage, with Anna Hossnieh Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

“Does anyone else think, Ziggy: the original Roman Roy?” -Anna Hossnieh

Writer, co-host of the Ethnically Ambiguous podcast, and season two skeptic, Anna Hosnnieh joins Matt and Vince to dissect The Wire season two episode two, “Collateral Damage.”

Often, The Wire is about the lengths to which normal people will go to avoid doing work, or getting yelled at. Some episodes, like this one, are about just how much work those same people will do just to be petty to someone who yelled at them. Valchek and Frank get locked into a portside petty Polish pissing contest, and the only winner is a Catholic church looking at two new stained glass windows.

Even Jimmy would rather do hours of research on tide patterns to stick Rawls with fourteen murders to solve, drink fourteen shots of Jameson to celebrate, then disappoint Rhonda Perlman sexually and emotionally, than learn how to tie a knot (or go to therapy).

Would you rather eat the crab guts or an egg beer? Let us know in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 201: Ebb Tide, with comedian Billy Wayne Davis Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

“You feel cold just watching it.” -Billy Wayne Davis

Avast, ye piggies! Pod Yourself The Wire returns for season two. Matt and Vince welcome writer and comedian (see his new special Testify now), Billy Wayne Davis aboard to talk about The Wire season two, episode one, “Ebb Tide.”

Season two starts with a portside turn, leaving the terraces, towers, and low-rises behind to explore the ports of Balmer. A lot is different: Jimmy Mcnulty is a little man in a boat, there’s a family of Polish longshoremen instead of the Barskdale crew, and Holly from The Office is floating around, but as Billy points out, not even thirty seconds pass before we see McNulty accept a bribe, so not too much has changed.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 113 - Sentencing, with certified season finale expert David J Roth Nov 24, 2022

Show notes

“By the time you’re on your fourth or fifth show it will be a full zoo crew situation.” -David J. Roth

Taint and the Beav, aka Matt and Vince, welcome writer, podcaster, Defector co-founder, & unofficial Pod Yourself a Fourth Member, David J. Roth, for a morning-zoo-crew-influenced edition of the pod. Matt fires up the soundboard as the three break down The Wire’s first season finale, “Sentencing.”

There are many reasons David keeps getting invited to do the podcast, not the least of which is his ability to remember weird old guys that may have slipped from the cultural consciousness. Today, he reminds us of The Greaseman, a former radio personality who, according to his Wikipedia page, lost his position as a volunteer deputy sheriff in Falls Church, Virginia after saying a really racist thing on the radio, and is possibly the person responsible for popularizing the phrase, “who’s your daddy?” Because even The Greaseman contains multitudes. David also has funny, insightful things to say about this episode of The Wire, but you knew that already. You didn’t know who the daddy of “who’s your daddy?” was until right now, so thank David by subscribing to Defector.
