Summary

“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.
