A The Wire Podcast where Vince Mancini and I go through every single episode of The Wire. And talk about it.

Want to thank everyone out there listening to the world's only The Wire Podcast. The Wire. A show about how neither Jeffrey Epstein nor D'Angelo Barkstell killed themselves.

Yeah. Did you know? Give us five stars in review on all the, you know, podcast apps and, you know, it's subscribed to the YouTube channel. If you want to see what Vince looks like, he does not look as Italian as he sounds.

You actually don't sound Italian. I sound very Italian. Yeah. I mean, a podcast.

You got to go. You know, that's, that's what you're always saying. And you're always talking about my famous catchphrase. Yeah.

So well, you say that a lot. So yeah, do that. And then also, you know, if you were on Reddit, our pod yourself, the wire. It's pretty great.

Today, we're going to be talking about from season three of The Wire episode eight moral midget tree. And our guest today, all ladies and gentlemen, we got a great guest.

He, you know him from the wonderful podcast behind the bastards. It is time to introduce for the first time on this podcast, Mr. Robert Evan.

What water? I'm doing good. Since, since Vince is also Italian, I wanted to know how you feel about this Vince, because I've been trying to recuperate the, the word,

Dago, which, which is an old, old, timey racism against Italians. Yes. Because as a, as a man in comedy, I feel the need to be able to say a bad word that I, other people,

could say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think I think I'm bringing it back. No, I, yeah. It's time to reclaim Dago's. My Dago. My Dago. Yeah. I say Wap.

A lot. Yeah. Waps a good one. Waps sounds, it sounds more offensive because it's hard. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Hard. Yeah. Percussive. Whereas Dago, it's kind of like sing songy, which is, you know, it's too, it's too close to day.

Oh, las and daylight come in. You want to go home? You want to go home? Yeah. So I, it doesn't.

I have been considering when podcasting finally dries up as an industry, like putting together a stage show, go into the gathering of the jug glows

every year, covered in like low in the dark face paint. And I can be like the day glow Dago seems like it seems like a plan.
