A The Wire podcast where Vince Mancini and I go through every single episode of The Wire and talk about it. Once again, reminding you to give us five stars interview right up top.

Just just another reminder. It is my favorite thing. And I love it. Also, if I can, people are actually going to the subreddit Vince.

Wow. That's great. Do we get a dollar every time that happens? Nope. We get nothing at all. But we don't have to do anything. And people can talk about stuff. So that rules. Yeah. No, be sick if we got money.

Speaking of money, Patreon.com slash broadcast. We're going to need it. Right? Right, Vince? That's right. I'm soon to be laid off. You guys, you guys heard it here first. All spill spill the tea on some podcast that isn't dedicated specifically to the wire. But yeah, subscribe to that Patreon. It's going to be potentially my only source of income.

16 long years at up rocks. And they finally were like, who's Vince? And then you get a new CEO. And he's just like, who? I don't care about this guy. Get him out of here. Elon Musk shows up. It's just like, we need more race science in our film reviews. Can he measure skulls?

Uh, so Patreon.com slash broadcast, please. We need someone who can measure skulls and is really conversant in Rick and Morty. I don't know what accent that is. I love the accent. No one knows what accent he's doing. So it's fine. Okay. Today we are talking about from season two of the wire episode 12 port in a storm and our guest today. Oh, you know him. You love him. You listen to his music. You read his tweets. Ladies.

Ladies and gentlemen and everyone else. Our guest today is Max Collins. Hi guys. Thanks for having me. See, I was going to clap, but I thought you were going to do the class. I forgot that I had that.

Oh, fuck. Oh, shit. I have the. Okay. So I switched. I switched the soundboard to all jar jar. Uh, fuck. I didn't know that was. Is that like when your font switches the winged things? Yeah, it's like when, yeah, exactly. My font is now all. Well, that smells stink away. So, um, thank you, Max. So much for coming on. Uh, you know, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again. I'm going to do it again

Oh, we, we had you want to talk about the sopranos. Uh, and it was a very fun episode. And then as soon as this started. Um, I hit you up. And I was like the wire time. So, so tell me, Max Collins. Do you like the wire? Yeah. I, I saw the wire for the first time. God. I don't. When did the show even come out to 2002 2002, I probably saw it. And like oh, six. I want to 6.

And I've been wanting to rewatch it again for a while and I'd actually been trying to convince my girlfriend to be willing to like watch it with me for like a couple of years now.

And yeah, and I would just bring it up, you know, every every few months or so, like, you know, I really think you'd get into it, you know, she had seen like she had seen like part of season one.

Yeah, it's really hard to get someone into it who isn't sold on it right out the gate.

Like did she try to start it and then go, I can't this is just not for me.

I it was it was the case of like negative association to because she had watched it with an X who was like a mass hole.

So so there was that at play as well.

But yeah, so you're reaching out and saying, hey, you know, we're doing the wire now.
