Summary

“Eggy Mule, Peacock, Shorty Boy? All unavailable for muscle work right now. -Will Menaker

The price of the steel is up, but Matt & Vince have writer, and host of Chapo Traphouse and The Movie Mindset podcasts, Will Menaker on the pod to break down season three episode six of The Wire, “Homecoming.”

Cutty’s brief but memorable return to the game ends with surprisingly little conflict, and the boys agree it’s touching to see the boys in the heroin-selling crew dissolve their business relationship amicably. Even dudes hardened by the game of selling rock can still rock. What the potential candidates to replace Cutty’s muscle lack in availability, they make up for in fun names, leading to Vince learning us all about the origin of Eggy Mule, nephew of Baltimore’s first woman arabber. As racist as the term sounds, it’s just a type of street vendor. We think. Don’t look too deep into it.

Will also reminds us that 44th president of the United States Barak Hussein Obama was on record as saying that Entourage was one of his favorite shows of all time. Barack OH YEAH-AHHHHH!
