Hey everyone. Here is the first episode of season 4. Releasing it early for all y'all. But next week season 4 episode 2 will be released on Patreon first and you'll have to wait another week to get it on the free feed. So join the Patreon now.
“I can’t imagine going through life with an inner monologue in that accent.” -Pete Blackburn
The boys are back in town and there’s a new crew of boys in The Wire. Joining Matt and Vince to kick off season four, NFL reporter, Matt Damon lookalike, and decorative chicken owner, Pete Blackburn joins the pod to talk about episode one, “Boys of Summer.”
Season four, also known as the season with the kids, introduces us to a ragtag bunch of Baltimore ragamuffins named Dukie, Randy, Namond, & Michael, who like to catch pigeons and throw piss filled balloons at their enemies. They’re young, charismatic and full of potential, but this is The Wire, so enjoy these early season moments when you can still believe things will work out okay for them.
This season will destroy you. It’s focused on Baltimore’s schools, and to give you an idea of just how bleak it is, remember Prezbo? That cop who was kind of an idiot and poked a kid's eye out before killing another cop by accident, and has no teaching credentials? When he shows up to a school, the principal is freakin’ pumped to give him a job teaching math. If you’re watching along, god bless and good luck.
Tell us what man you would have sex if it meant you could have sex with the City Council President in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.
