[Pod Yourself The Wire] 212: Port in a Storm, with Max Collins of Eve 6
6 april 2023 · 1 uur 59 min
“When characters die on this show, the feeling of loss is frightening.” -Max Collins Lees meer
Put season two of The Wire in a blender and listen as this week’s guest Max Collins from Eve6 spins it around into a beautiful oblivion with Matt & Vince as they discuss the twelfth and final episode, “Port in a Storm.”
Before saying farewell to the docks, the Sobotkas, and the not-Greek Greeks, Matt, Vince, and Max compare when they first started hearing the kids say “hella.” For Max it was age 13 at skateboarding camp in Visalia, which sounds hella rad. After that, really just tying up loose ends and seeing that, as always, the police work is only about getting your stats and not being the sh*tbird of the day on any given day.
Season two detractors rejoice. Ziggy is gone, and next season we return to the streets. See you on the other side, you sickos.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 211: Bad Dreams, with Leah Carroll
30 maart 2023 · 1 uur 31 min
“Neither of them can do a Baltimore accent.” -Leah Carroll. Lees meer
Writer and pod yourself a favorite, Leah Carroll returns, bearing gifts, to talk to Matt & Vince about The Wire season two episode eleven, “Bad Dreams.”
In an act of preparation that would put the producer of this pod to shame, Leah dug up a clip from a Dominic West and Micheal K. Williams’ audio commentary on episode six of this season, in which you hear, in rapid succession, Dominic West compliment his own looks, then the two of them reverently assess Nicky’s girlfriends “beautiful knockers.” The death of the DVD commentary is the worst thing to happen to media in our lifetime.
This episode of The Wire, if you can even believe it, is a bit of a bummer. Frank is walking directly into his almost certain death to try to help his dumbass son Ziggy out of another mess, Omar is hoodwinked and oopsie shoots the wrong guy, and Daniels realizes Landsmen bungled his Sobotka connection. It’s almost like these guys don’t really care about solving problems and just want to not get yelled at, cash a check, and hang out at a bar with no wives.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 210: Storm Warnings, with James Fritz
23 maart 2023 · 1 uur 42 min
“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a Greek guy with a gun.” -James Fritz Lees meer
On the latest PYTW, comedian and writer from The Frankie Quinones Show, James Fritz, joins Matt & Vince to discuss The Wire season two episode nine, “Storm Warnings.”
Well Ziggy’s really done it now hasn’t he? Congratulations to all the Ziggy haters out there, you got what you wanted, two dead greeks. Ziggy and his huge hog burned too damn bright for the Bawlmer ports, and while he lives to tell his own heartless tale to Jay Landsman, there will be no more Zig on The Wire.
During the episode, there is a conversation about the actor who plays Lamar (Brother Mouzzone’s valet), and how he, like too many cast members, is no longer with us. The recording took place the day before we also lost the actor who played Daniels, Lance Reddick. RIP to another real one. Here’s an interview he did after the third season and before the show really took off.

“I couldn’t imagine a more perfect show to watch… high on heroin.” -Dave Mannheim
The block is hot and the pod is hotter as Dave Mannheim from the Dopey Podcast joins Matt & Vince to break down The Wire season two episode nine, “Stray Rounds.”
This episode has a fun little cold open in which we are introduced to a child who is shortly thereafter killed by a stray bullet from a territory dispute between a Barksdale crew and a Prop Joe crew. It makes sense that Dave & Matt bond over watching the show while on heroin, because opiates might be the only way to maintain a positive attitude while watching this show.
We lose one favorite character, Ziggy’s duck (couldn’t handle his liquor), but gain another notable character in Brother Mouzone, leading to debate about whether he is a cool, interesting, Omar-of-New-York type of character, or a corny ass Fargo on FX quirky villain guy. Either way, his valet Lamar needs to find him a Harper’s Bazaar, ASAP.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 208: Duck and Cover, with Rachel Fisher of Hollywood Crime Scene

“[McNulty]’s got the kind of alcoholism you think you can work with.” —Rachel Fisher
Ziggy’s got a duck and we have writer, co-host of the Hollywood Crime Scene Podcast & recent The Wire binger Rachel Fisher returning to the pod to talk to Matt & Vince about season two, episode eight, “Duck and Cover.”
The episode starts with an extended McNulty rock-bottom-hitting scene. Dominic West is proving he is our generation’s finest drunk actor. He’s puffy, red, sweaty, and ready to bone. Then, the show gets as lolrandom as David Simon is capable of. Ziggy brings the titular duck to the Polish Dudes Rock bar so he can make it drink booze and finally get some of the respect he wants so badly. And it works! Acting like a silly goose is what these people want from him. If Ziggy had taken some improv classes instead of doing crime, he’d still be alive today (but think of how female improvisers he would have sexually harassed - maybe for the best).
Rachel started watching The Wire when she heard we were doing the pod, further proof that we are industry tastemakers, and she and Matt agree that the AA meetings in The Wire are the only realistic depictions of AA meetings on TV. According to these two, there is no cross talking in AA meetings. You’re telling me they’re better organized and more respectful than this podcast? Seems unlikely.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 207: Backwash, with Nando Vila from Shoot the Messenger podcast
3 maart 2023 · 1 uur 39 min
“If you have any sort of sentimentality in this shitty rotten system, you’re going to lose.” -Nando Villa Lees meer
Writer, host of the new podcast Shoot The Messenger, and returning guest Nando Vila joins Matt & Vince to break down season two episode seven of The Wire, “Backwash.”
Nando raises an interesting point about Herc & Carver. They are yet another in a long line of comedy duos featuring a dumbass and his even dumber sidekick (Harry & Lloyd, Abbot & Costello, Matt & Vince, etc.), but also they are like a pair of Benny Hills. “Yakety Sax” would not sound out of place over scenes of these goobers running around trying to put the proverbial toothpaste back in the tube. In this episode, they go to the spy store, which is definitely a place where the dumbest men max out their credit cards, to buy a listening device to fit into a tennis ball. Hilarity ensues, but it’s The Wire, so the subtext of that hilarity is that the institutions Americans rely on are rotting all the way to their thick-skulled core.
A trip in The Back In The Day Machine reminds us of the time George W. saw some elephants fornicate, and that catcalling is an Ancient Roman tradition. The next time you see a man harassing a woman on the street, ask yourself, is he a pervert or a historian?

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 206: All Prologue, with comedian Trevor Joyner
23 februari 2023 · 1 uur 50 min
“There is no happy show about Baltimore “ -Trevor Joyner Lees meer
Why do white people love The Wire? This week’s guest, Stand up comedian and writer Trevor Joyner, joins Matt and Vince to ask the important questions while discussing season two episode six of The Wire, “All Prologue.”
Before getting into the episode, which could be a pilot for a sitcom called Everybody Loves Omar, they fire up the Back In the Day Machine to remember SARS and smoking in restaurants, then learn about Iranian conjoined twins, and struggle to understand the concept of deflation. It’s like inflation, but backwards? Money would be worth less, and that would be bad? Let’s just assume if it happened now, your uncles would be so pissed at Joe Biden for causing it.
In a milestone for the show, D’angelo makes his last appearance (RIP D), and in a milestone for the podcast, we have our first guest who has a firsthand story about a cast member. Listen to find out who Trevor saw popping and locking at a club.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 205: Undertow, with Big Wos from The Ringer
17 februari 2023 · 1 uur 33 min
“Dillon Brooks is definitely the Cheese of the NBA” -Big Wos Lees meer
Writer and NBA analyst from The Ringer, Wosny “Big Wos” Lambry, takes some time out of his definitely busy day (we recorded the day after the NBA trade deadline) to talk to Matt and Vince about season two episode five of The Wire, “Under Tow.”
A conversation about an episode from 2003 and its showdown between Ziggy and Cheese, the drug dealer played by the Wu Tang Clan’s finest actor – Method Man, might not seem relevant to the current zeitgeist, but as Wos points out, they’re both nepo babies. Ziggy is, of course, the son of Frank Sobotka, the treasurer for the International Brotherhood of Stevedores, and we learn in this episode that Cheese is East Baltimore drug kingpin Prop Joe’s nephew. Further proof that when not in our own butts, our fingers are firmly on the pulse. Their powerful relatives explain why Ziggy continues to get opportunities despite showing complete incompetence in whatever he does, and why Cheese has a leadership position despite making poor business decisions like burning Ziggy’s car instead of selling it. More nepo babies should fight for our entertainment. Imagine if Jack Quaid burned Ben Platt’s car. That would be sick as hell.
Meanwhile the police crew from the original detail continues to reassemble because this is the same show that made you wait five episodes for the titular wire. They start looking into Baltimore’s whitest drug dealers, leading Wos to introduce the term “White Mikes” to the pod.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 204: Hard Cases, with Shereen Lani Younes
10 februari 2023 · 1 uur 46 min
“I’m bummed that my episode didn’t feature more Omar.” -Shereen Lani Younes Lees meer
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
3 februari 2023 · 1 uur 42 min
“When I’m king, it’s you against the wall.” — Adam Tod Brown (not Radiohead) Lees meer
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.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 202: Collateral Damage, with Anna Hossnieh
19 januari 2023 · 1 uur 51 min
“Does anyone else think, Ziggy: the original Roman Roy?” -Anna Hossnieh Lees meer
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
12 januari 2023 · 1 uur 49 min
“You feel cold just watching it.” -Billy Wayne Davis Lees meer
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.
Do us a favor and make sure you’re subscribed to the Pod Yourself A Gun feed (we know, we know, it was a bad idea to make a new feed), and while you’re there, make sure to leave us a five-star review on apple podcasts.
See Pod Yourself A Gun live at SF Sketchfest January 27th at PianoFight theater. Get tickets now!

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 113 - Sentencing, with certified season finale expert David J Roth
24 november 2022 · 2 uur 1 min
“By the time you’re on your fourth or fifth show it will be a full zoo crew situation.” -David J. Roth Lees meer
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.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 112: Cleaning Up, with Ben Fowlkes of Co-Main Event
17 november 2022 · 1 uur 39 min
“I once dated a woman who compared me, not entirely unfavorably, to McNulty, and you know what? It was kind of a wake up call.” -Ben Fowlkes Lees meer
Making his debut on the podcast is writer and podcaster from Co-Main Event, Ben Fowlkes joins Vince and Brent (still filling in for Matt even though his kid is like four-weeks-old which is old enough to get a job damn cut the cord already, Matt) to talk about The Wire season 1 episode 12, “Cleaning Up.”
Featuring one of The Wire’s most memorable scenes, what you might not remember about this episode, if you’ve already watched the series, is that Lester really walks a fine line between smooth older man and total creep taking advantage of a terrified young confidential informant. If learning how a beautiful woman likes her coffee and then reminding her of your military service were a crime, Lester would still not be in jail because cops look out for each other.
What you probably remember is the end of young Michael B. Jordan’s character Wallace. He wasn’t cut out for the game. His heart did pump Kool-aid after all. RIP Wallace and RIP the uneaten hot dogs Poot Bodie and Wallace leave on the table just before the murder. Neither Wallace nor the dogs got to reach their full potential, but the game is the game.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 111: The Hunt, with Comedian Ben Flores
10 november 2022 · 1 uur 26 min
“Over the last 20 years, the goalposts for what is copaganda have moved.” –Ben Flores Lees meer
As many of you know, our beloved piggy wrangling, bum lumming host is a father now, and the recording of this episode of the pod took place in the days immediately following the birth of Matt’s first child. Filling in as co-host is Pod Yourself The Wire producer, comedian, and writer of these descriptions, Brent Flyberg. Joining Matt & Brent is writer and humorist from the Please Save Me podcast, Ben Flores to talk about The Wire season 1 episode 11, “The Hunt.”
In the aftermath of the buy-bust gone wrong that left Kima leaking from some bullet holes, The Barksdales look to clean up their mess while the Baltimore Police Department looks sort of competent for once. Considering the episode revolves around the uncertain future of one of the series’s more likable characters, it’s a surprisingly funny episode. Even Wee Bey is so charming you have to remind yourself that he’s a bad man even by the standards of The Wire. He makes the meme face we all love!

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 110: The Cost, with Matt Christman of "Chapo Trap House"
3 november 2022 · 1 uur 34 min
“We have to turn our taste into politics to delude ourselves into thinking our consumption can change the direction of the ship of state.” -Matt Christman Lees meer
This week on the pod, Matt and Vince invite the return of writer, podcaster, and self-proclaimed Bunk head, Matt Christman from The Chapo Trap House podcast (on tour now!) to talk about The Wire season 1 episode 10, “The Cost.”
This is a mid-aughts HBO prestige crime drama, so the crime guys have to have a strip club to use as a clubhouse. Fitting that The Sopranos’ dumbest character, Georgie, was running the Bada Bing, because The Wire’s dumbest character, Orlando, is running this show’s Balta Bing. As Vince points out, everyone in the aughts was trying to ball a little, and Orlando, tired of being the steady, nondescript hand behind the front, gets flipped by the detail after trying to buy heroin from a cop.
Things don’t end well for Orlando, or anyone else related to the Barksdale crew who tries to cooperate with the detail (poor Wallace). Don’t talk to the cops! Especially not the lovable, scampy, irish f*ckboy TV cops.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 109: Game Day, with Cullen Crawford
27 oktober 2022 · 1 uur 32 min
“A show about the Eastside would be boring because Prop Joe is running it well.” -Cullen Crawford. Lees meer
On the latest edition of the pod, Matt and Vince invite writer, podcaster, and host of the Football Friends Who Are Gambling podcast, Cullen Crawford to be a basketball friend who is not gambling, but rather, discussing The Wire season 1 episode 9, “Game Day.”
Every day is game day for Avon, Stringer, and Prop Joe, but especially today, because the boys have hoop dreams. The annual East vs. West basketball game has everyone coming together. Prop Joe is there with a fake clipboard and Avon in a very aughts visor. Herc & Carv are in the stands chopping it up with Poot & Bodie, watching a 37-year-old JuCo baller cross up a collection of normal guys from the Eastside. Even Lt. Daniels stops by to try to get his peepers on the head of the Barksdale syndicate. Daniels gets the peek he wants, but is met with a Mutumbo-esque finger wag from Avon. That reference was for the real sport heads.
Herc asks a very important question while watching a payphone from a roof, how do the pebbles get up there? Let us know your theories in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 108: Lessons, with author Leah Carroll
20 oktober 2022 · 1 uur 47 min
“Can someone please make a Stringer Bell profile on LinkedIn?” -Leah Carroll Lees meer
With each pod we get closer to landing David Simon. Today’s guest is not only a casual acquaintance of Baltimore’s preeminent erudite curse word factory, she’s also the author of Down City: A Daughter's Story of Love, Memory, and Murder. Leah Carroll returns to talk to Matt & Vince about The Wire season 1 episode 8, “Lessons.”
Appropriate that the name of the name of the episode is “Lessons” because everyone learned something. McNulty learns that his children are too good at the front & follow “game” he taught them after he loses them while they tail Stringer Bell shopping at a farmer’s market. The market’s security guard learns what everyone else knows about Jimmy – he’s not a good dad. We all learn that Stringer Bell drives a sensible maroon Toyota Camry, and from Stringer, the corner boys turn copy boys learn the difference between elastic and inelastic products. It’s not just fictional characters learning lessons, Matt learns that he’s using an outdated and and disrespectful term for sex workers. Crazy because he’s basically a sex worker himself, what with this podcast making all our listeners so damn horny.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 107: One Arrest, with Dan From The Internet
13 oktober 2022 · 1 uur 37 min
“I’m old enough for all of this.” -@Danfromtheinternet Lees meer
On the latest episode of the pod, Matt & Vince welcome a frustratingly young guest, Dan from the internet, to talk about The Wire season 1 episode 7, “One Arrest.” Dan is a gen z content creator and news commentator. He's a host on Good Morning Bad News on TikTok, as well as his news & culture show Power Report and Audioface where he and his co-host reviews new music almost every week. To keep up with everything Dan does everywhere, follow him on Twitter.
It’s appropriate that Dan introduces the podcast to the concept of ugly bastard hentai, because there is a lot of ugly bastard behavior from the various characters in David Simon’s Baltimore in this episode. Landsman prank’s a desperate Santangelo into enlisting a low-rent psychic to help him clear cases, drunk Bunk implores a woman to “rub ‘em together like that,” and even Judge Phelan is vocalizing his desire to “throw a f*ck” into a peer. ACAUB.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 106: The Wire, with comedian/writer Adrian McNair
6 oktober 2022 · 1 uur 38 min
“D’angelo would for sure be an Andrew Tate fan.” -Adrian Mcnair Lees meer
If you’re within five miles of the Koreatown neighborhood in Los Angeles, you may have seen today’s guest on any of the dating apps, but today you can hear comedian and television writer Adrian McNair talk to Matt & Vince to talk about The Wire season 1 episode 6, “The Wire.”
Discussing the titular episode of the series, we learn that Vince sometimes fantasizes about being a cop. Not because of the power, status, or license to drive drunk, but because they seem like they’re bros who look out for each other. Imagine showing up to work as bombed as Auggie Polk does. Are your coworkers going to cover your ass like McNulty and Kima do? And you get a gun? At this point no one expects police to do any actual good in the world, so if you do even the bare minimum you would get worshiped like a hero and huh okay maybe this show is copaganda in that it makes joining the force look more and more appealing every episode.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 105: The Pager, with comedian Katrina Davis
29 september 2022 · 1 uur 40 min
“Do you know how many people you have to kill for a whistle to catch on?” -Katrina Davis Lees meer
It’s a great day for grown men named Stinkum, and an even better day for you, because on the latest Pod Yourself The Wire, Matt and Vince welcome the return of comedian and Pod Yourself A Favorite Katrina Davis to discuss The Wire season 1 episode 5, “The Pager.”
It’s important to McNulty that Kima knows that he did not literally call the mother of his children the c-word, but if you read between the lines, he definitely thinks his ex-wife is a c-word. Katrina points out that the way he dances around it makes him sound like if Amy Sherman-Palladino wrote a philandering men’s rights activist cop character. McNulty might be a bad man, but he’s a good cop, unlinke Herc and Carver who are bad men, bad cops, and even worse good cop/ bad cop players. The “good cop” can’t swing on a mope, everybody knows that.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 104: Old Cases, with Dave Schilling of the LA Times
22 september 2022 · 1 uur 40 min
“Tap tap tap is the sound of Poot’s boner on the window” -Dave Schiling Lees meer
On this episode of The Wire, the police try to get a desk through a door, but no one knows which direction they’re going (it’s a metaphor), and on this episode of the pod, Matt and Vince invite the host of the Free Validation podcast and writer for the LA Times, Dave Schilling to talk about season 1 episode 4, “Old Cases.”
This is the episode featuring the famous f-word scene. McNulty and Bunk show that they may be alcoholic philanderers with limited vocabularies, but they’re natural po-lice who understand basic bullet physics. Omar wouldn’t like hearing all those dirty words coming out of their pretty mouths, but the rest of us piggies are eating it up yum yum yum.
We’re getting sent back to pawn shop duty if we don’t get more five-star reviews on Apple Podcasts.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 103: The Buys, with Mike Recine
15 september 2022 · 1 uur 34 min
“Before Omar, being gay was for nerds.” –Mike Recine Lees meer
This week on Pod Yourself The Wire, D’angelo and the boys are playing chess, but Matt, Vince and their guest are playing 3D checkers (3D=3 dads). Comedian and host of the Out For Smokes Podcast, Mike Recine stops by to talk about The Wire season 1 episode 3, “The Buys.”
“The Buys” marks the first appearance of late great Michael K. William’s iconic stick-up man character, Omar Little. Omar’s whistling, robbing, smoking, and generally looking cool as hell while McNulty continues to be everyone’s favorite irish f*ckboy who would literally rather get wrapped up in a months-long wiretap investigation than go to therapy. He also has sex. The scene is long, breathy, and hotter than a fresh order of Baltimore’s favorite lunch, lake trout.
Mismatched socks make Matt horny, but nothing makes him as horny as a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

[Pod Yourself The Wire] 102: The Detail, with PFT Commenter from "Pardon My Take"
8 september 2022 · 1 uur 47 min
“Everybody wants to not get yelled at.” –PFT Commenter Lees meer
Like every episode of The Wire begins with a quote from the episode, every episode description for Pod Yourself The Wire: A The Wire Podcast, now begins with a quote from the podcast. Today’s quote comes from writer, podcaster, cohost of Pardon My Take and the Macrodosing podcast, PFT Commenter. Matt and Vince welcomed PFT to talk about season 1 episode 2, “The Buys.”
PFT breaks down the subtext of the episode right from the start. What we all really want from our job is to not get yelled at. The Wire does a great job of reminding you that cops are guys who will absolutely shirk their duties at work if it means they won’t get yelled at, but also they have guns, and if they think shooting or pistol whipping some poor mope’s eyeball out of his socket will lead to less yelling in their direction, they’ll do it. It’s easy to judge because, you know, they are abusing their power to avoid accountability, but can you imagine if they let you have a gun at work? Like, how quickly would you make some entitled customer shut up and leave your Quizno’s if you could wave a glock around? Would you wield that power responsibly? I’d be a terrible cop, and I bet you would too. It’s almost like the whole system is broken. It’s a cliche, but if you talk about The Wire long enough you will eventually say “the whole system is broken.” It’s unavoidable.
A friendly reminder that cops are allowed to lie to you during interrogations, and you are allowed to lie in podcast reviews, so even if you don’t like the show, give us five stars on Apple Podcasts.

Pod Yourself The Wire - Season 1 Episode 1 - "The Target"
1 september 2022 · 1 uur 52 min
From the makers of Pod Yourself A Gun, the only The Sopranos podcast, now comes Pod Yourself The Wire, the only podcast about HBO’s Baltimore crime drama The Wire. Hosts Matt Lieb & Vince Mancini welcome the pod’s first guest, comedian, producer of the pod, handsome stud, and writer of these episode descriptions, Brent Flyberg, to talk about the premiere episode “The Target.” Lees meer
Welcome to Baltimore, bitch. Or as the locals call it, Balmur. In this first episode, we meet so many characters (Poot, Bubs, Herc, Bunk, etc, Snot Boogie, etc.), see many different municipal buildings, and are introduced to a lot of Balmer cop lingo. If this is your first time, don’t worry about learning everything just yet. “Drinking out of the fire hose” was a phrase they threw around at my last job when describing their new hire training process. They threw a bunch of names, stats, email addresses, divisions, and processes at every new person and were like, retain what you can - some of this will make sense later. That’s you watching this episode. Relax and open up for The Wire hose.
Matt, Vince, & I are here to help you answer questions like: Who are any of these people? What are they doing? Why do they say their Os weird? What is a grape Nehi? And most importantly, which actor has the truest-to-life outdated civil servant hairdo?
The deputy loves dots, we love stars, so give us 5 of them in a review on Apple Podcasts.

6b09: Made In America, with David J Roth of Distraction Pod
31 mei 2022 · 2 uur 34 min
We Podded Ourselves The Whole Gun
This is it. The last episode of the only Sopranos podcast ever made. Load it into a yellow Xterra, push the Nissan out to sea, and set it ablaze for a proper New Jersey Italian Viking funeral. Joining Matt and Vince to discuss “Made In America” and close out the series, the Dennis Eckersly of podcasting, from Defector, David J. Roth.
Where were you when The Sopranos cut o black? Screaming at the TV? Calling your cable company? Remembering 9/11? 11.9 million people watched (there better be just as many people listening to this episode) as Meadow parked, Tony looked up, and Journey implored everyone watching to continue believing. Believe in what exactly? What was David Chase trying to tell us with that song? Considering he chose Don’t Stop Believing just because everyone in the production crew hated it, I think he was trying to say *mouthfarrrrrrt*.
What a sh*thead legend. That’s what a grown-up AJ would do. You don’t like the song at the end of the TV show? You know we’re killing civilians in the Middle East everyday right? And this is how you spend your time? Upset at the song at the end of your favorite TV show? What rough beast yeets towards Bethlehem to be born. As indicated by this final, AJ-centric episode, the world belongs to the AJs now. Be safe and don’t use too many slurp juices on one ape.
It’s been an honor to be a part of such a fun thing that so many people enjoyed. We had a great time making it, and it wouldn’t have been possible without all our guests, cured meats, the decline of the American Empire, classic rock, autotune, HBO, David Beckham, fish and chips, *Borat voice* our wives, Raytheon, New Jersey, George Soros, The Sopranos sound design team, Prozac, track suits, Stevie B, Little Steven, Steve Buscemi, The American Italian Anti-Defamation League, and of course, Stephen Jenkins.
We still want five-star reviews so go write one on Apple Podcasts.

25 mei 2022 · 1 uur 54 min
Hey everyone, Lees meer
Thanks for all of your patience on waiting for this mailbag episode. Matt, Vince, and Brent are grateful for all of your questions and voicemails and we hope you enjoy this break from your regularly scheduled Sopranos content.
Also, in a few days we will be posting the last rewatch episode of Pod Yourself A Gun, as we have run out of Sopranos episodes to cover. We will probably do a couple more Sopranos interviews but, unless David Chase decides to do a reboot, things are gonna change round this feed. Which is why you need to pod yourself over to Patreon.com/frotcast and subscribe immediately, because Vince and Matt will still be talking about stuff every week on the Frotcast.

6b08: The Blue Comet, with Justin Halpern EP of Harley Quinn and Abbott Elementary
19 mei 2022 · 1 uur 46 min
It’s A-me, A-DHL-a As we close in on the end of the only podcast about the GOATest show of all time, we welcome an old friend back to the pod to help us say goodbye to another one of Jersey’s finest pork store associates. Writer, frequent Frot guest, and Executive Producer for Abbot Elementary and Harley Quinn, Justin Halpern rejoins Matt and Vince to talk about the penultimate episode of The Sopranos, season 6b episode 8, “The Blue Comet.” Pay your last respects to a loving father, good earner, dutiful husband, and model train enthusiast, Bobby Bacala. From Junior’s driver, to redundant upper management, Bobby lives in our hearts, and in the ziti he left in his freezer. Other notable dust-biters in this episode: Bert Gervasi, two poor Ukrainian suckers who answered the door for the wrong Italian DHL driver, and a guy riding his motorcycle past the Bada Bing at the wrong time (probably). Through it all, AJ makes everything about himself and his depression, like a natural-born podcaster. Tell us how you would fix upper management redundancy in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts. Subscribe to Pod Yourself A Gun on Apple Podcasts. Email us at frotcast@gmail.com; leave us a voicemail at 415-275-0030 Support the Pod: become a patron at patreon.com/Frotcast and get more bonus content than you could ever want, AND if you sign up for the Pod Yourself a Shoutout tier, Vince will give you a mob name on the show.
