Summary

“D’angelo would for sure be an Andrew Tate fan.” -Adrian Mcnair

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.

Settle a bet: Is Michael B. Jordan doing good acting in this episode or is he just talking fast? Put your response in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts

Was it a mistake? Probably should we have just stuck to one feed? Definitely. But didn't I say that wasn't I like, hey, don't do a new feed?

2:09.7

The only reason it did not do a new feed is mostly because it's like, then you got to get everyone to go over to the other one.

3:55.5

Honestly, it's like, what is it? What do you lose from it? If you've never listened to it. Oh, you lose something from giving us a five stars interview.

4:04.5

I didn't. So I didn't think about this until just now. Did you invite Adrian on because this episode centers around the death of a beautiful mixed race man. Yeah, beautiful base child. Absolutely. That was, that was beautiful.

4:17.5

That, but you don't have to do them like that. Yeah, I did, you know, first time ever saw Brandon, split out all dead on that car. I was like, Adrian, is that my friend? Oh, no. So they just look alike because they like skin.

4:31.5

Because you're trying to send me a message with this one. Like, dude, if you ever fuck with me, if you fuck with my stash, you don't ever fuck with my stash, fuck with my block and eagle rock.
