I just want to give a quick shout out up top to a Vince. I don't know if you saw this. Michael Foster, $100 patron, bro. That's great. I mean, listen, we cannot be bought, but I would encourage everyone to try nonetheless. Yes, we can be bought.

I remember at one point during the sopranos rewatch, there was a bit of a bidding war to buy us. And I think at some point, it got to like 400, 500. It was some ridiculous amount. So I'm going to encourage that again, because I, because I liked it, it felt good. I enjoyed money and I would like more of it in my life.

So, uh, patreon.com slash broadcast. So please, you know, anyways, Michael Foster, thank you so much. Uh, Michael Foster, great job. We welcome it.

I will do sexual things to you. All right. Today, we're going to be talking about from season two of the wire episode six, all prologue. Uh, and our guest today is a fantastic standup comedian.

Uh, I know him from the Bay area. We did stand up together. Super funny guy. Everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, I guess today Trevor joiner. Hey.

Wait, no, like, no little clap sound effect. I was seeing. I was like, you know, oh, okay. I got that. Hey, now we talk. Okay. I feel better. This is good. I do. I realized that in the way I do intros, it does seem like there should be an applause.

It's happening. Yeah. Yeah. So that's because like if this was like, if we was doing standup, I would have definitely bombed after that intro. That's. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Those were one of the worst. Yeah. I've never been good at this. But, you know, hey, one guy gave us $100. So I can't be that shitty at it. Um, yeah, yeah, you make it muddy. I make money. That's all that matters. Uh, so Trevor, do you like the wire? Yes.

Sick. I love the wire interview. Oh, first. I got a question. Yeah. For both of y'all. Yes. Why do white people love the wire? Have you ever asked that yet? No, yeah. Yeah. No. Oh, this is what we started. And then maybe what's up? No, no. Why do you think white people love the wire? Okay. I have multiple theories about this. It's on HBO. We love to speak for all both of you have to speak for all white. Well, first of all, we love premium.

cable. We like we like commercials, but we love being extra for we love being extra for more elite content. That's right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. This is good. And it's also, uh, we like to, we like to like things that have already happened. Like we can't

appreciate things in their own time. Like we like to. Yeah. We really like to like things about five years after they came out, which I think. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Let's wait. This is, make it say it's fashion and a lot of things. Yeah. I'm. I'm thinking. Yeah. We like to be late to the game. And then we like to appropriate. Okay. So. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can't forget about appropriation. Yeah. Half of this is just me doing a colonialism.

That's, that's, that's most of this is I'm just trying to colonize black. It's so funny because anytime the wire comes up, it always comes up from white people.

Yeah. Like I never, I never black people like, so you remember like going to white. It's always a white dude that catch you in a corner.

And he like, so episode three. And I'm like, why do you know this? It's the wire and Wu Tang. Those two things always is like, what's going on? Yeah. No. Wu Tang for sure. White people definitely, uh, we're like,

they can't get enough of it. That's not now. Oh. But no, it's because it's a cop show, but it's like, you know, it's like, uh, it's the acceptable

cop show to like, it feel like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. I can see that. I think it's also white people are

I mean, speaking for myself, uh, this was probably the first honest look at, um, policing that we'd ever seen on TV. Um, so, you know, it's, it's kind
