And this is pod yourself the wire, a the wire podcast where me and Vince Mancini go through every single episode of the wire and talk about it. Thank you once again for joining us for the world's only the wire podcast. A wonderful show.

The wire. A show that puts the fun in defund the police. Hey, we're having a good time politics, everybody. Please give us five stars in a review on whatever podcast app that you're using whatever way you can rate it. Please do, you know, text it to your friends. Do all the things that you can do to help us because this is a new one.

And we're trying to make sure that everyone gets a chance to listen to us. Talk about the best TV show from the early 2000s. That's not about Italians. I'm trying to qualify it in case any of our sopranos listeners are like, wow, that's not about Italians or executive produced by Mark Walberg.

Yes, exactly.

You have to separate because people, there's a lot of entourage fans. Listen to this and they're like, please do not be smirch the good name of entourage, a show about fucking bad.

That's what I think the show was about. Anyways, today, we can get it. I mean, I could do a whole 20 minutes on entourage, but you know, that's not why we're here.

Introduce our guests and talk about what episode we're talking about today. We're going to be talking about from season one of the wire episode for old cases and our guest today. Oh, he is a returning champion.

Two time pod yourself a gun guest, a soprano's podcast. He also has his own podcast about fashion free validation. You can also read his wonderful articles in the LA times.

Everyone, please welcome back to the podcast. Dave Schilling.

Hey, guys, wow, a new show to talk about. I wish we could just go back and watch sopranos again.

So let's just let's just double back. Yeah, we will one more time. That'll be season three. Yeah, we thought about it. And we were just like, what if the podcast just goes on forever of just the sopranos over and over and over again, because I kind of forget, you know, what happens. Yeah, there's all kinds of wonderful Easter eggs for you to uncover on your twelfth rewatch.

Yeah, no, my brain is like paint in the golden gate bridge with, you know, like a certain point. I'm just going to keep re-remembering and re forgetting stuff.

That's kind of nice to know though. Like if you get once you get like really old, you start getting dementia or something, you can rewatch shows. You've already seen and be like, this is the best show ever. Yeah, that's what junior would do with the manics.

Yeah, my favorite episode of manics is on again.

Oh, good. Our list is on again. I think he's also a big or less fan. Yeah. So, hey, this is about the wire though. Dude, do you like the wire?

I love the wire. I have the wire on blue ray for no reason, because you can watch it on HBO Max right now. Physical media, I believe it is important. They can't, they can't retconn it if you own it on on blue ray. That's true.

Yeah, that's true. They won't George Lucas special edition season two of the wire and take Frank Sabaka out or anything replace it with, with fucking, I don't know, Paul sort of, you know, or, yeah, why would they retconn on the wire? I'm trying to think like I would, if it were me and our George Lucas thing and I'd be like, can we show Ziggy's dick?

Because I don't think we ever really get to see his like full hog and they allude to it. Yeah, there would have been an outcry if that happened today about them not hanging dong. I feel like that's true. I was going to say, you know, Michael K Williams in his posthumously released autobiography said he wanted to have more gay sex in the wire, which is weirdly a text message that Matt sends me all the time.
