Summary
“A show about the Eastside would be boring because Prop Joe is running it well.” -Cullen Crawford.
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

Ladies and gentlemen, everyone else. I guess today is Colin Crawford. |
| 3:58.7 | Hello, I'm excited to talk about basketball and dollhouse furniture. My two favorite things. Hell yeah, dog. This is, yeah, this is two things I love in this world is sports and making tiny furniture for dogs. |
| 4:14.7 | You know, it does look like a good way to make money being that like Lester Freeman is like literally a cop and they have like unions and I assume great benefits and money. And if he is deciding I'm also going to have the side gig. It says to me that we should all be making dollhouse. |
| 4:34.7 | Absolutely. I think another cop at one point is like he makes tons of money on. Yeah, I mean, he could like be a double union guy. I'm sure there's like a miniature carpenters union for only shit. Just a tiny furniture. He might have to get Lena Dunham's permission to be in the tiny furniture union. But yeah, I like the idea of like a hard boiled furniture union man. |
| 4:58.7 | When they tried to strike bust us, I used to break scabs, ankles, the miniature baseball. Yeah, I love the idea of like a little tiny mini guild where they all meet up inside the dollhouse. You better not even look at a Louis the 14th style dresser. If I see a god damn. |
| 5:18.7 | Just a little mini Jimmy Hoffa. And then like a mini mafia that like kills him and puts him in cement. |
| 5:28.7 | Yeah, a tiny tiny coffin. Yeah. So Colin, do you like the wire? I love the wire. I mean, everyone loves the wire. And I also love the wire. Yeah, it's a good show. But do you have like a favorite character? Is there someone you particularly love? |
| 5:46.7 | I was wondering. I was thinking about this. And this episode made me realize like this is prop Joe's first episode. Yes, that's right. And I fucking love prop Joe. I like. I think he is. I mean, we can get into it later if you want. But like I think he is the perfect mix. Like he's got the perfect philosophy for this world, which is like. Yeah, right between stringer and. |
| 6:09.7 | Avon, like he's like he's a little bit like it's just a business. Why can't we just sell and also like well, if you talk with me, I have to have you killed. Yeah, and he like balances it well. |
| 6:19.7 | Yeah, he's like he he's amazing in that like he is just like badass gangster. Like you know that just because well, he runs the entire east side, you know, drug game. So he's got to be badass. But the only times you ever really see him on the show. |
| 6:35.7 | Is he's like wearing a full suit to try to look like Pat Riley during a basketball game as a coach. Or you see him like repairing clocks and shit. Like he's. |
| 6:47.7 | He knows how to do stuff. He's the master Freeman of the drug world. That's true. Yes, that is true. And it makes him like badass in multiple ways. But also he has a catchphrase. Yeah, I mean, like it's very, very supervillain. |
| 7:02.7 | Oh, yeah, we can't overlook the fact that he's one of the few people on the show with a genuine Baltimore accent. Yes, yes, that's right. This is like the beginning.
