“We have guns and oil – don’t even trip.” -Mike Isaac
Kicking off the final season of Pod Yourself The Wire, Matt & Vince welcome a returning Pod Yourself favorite, tech reporter for the NYT, and author of Super Pumped, Mike Isaac to discuss the premiere of season five of The Wire, “More With Less.”
A fitting guest for The Wire’s press-focused season, Mike is here to tell us the news hole is still shrinking, and our new friends at the Baltimore Sun have no idea how good they had it. Buyouts? People were getting paid to stop being reporters? Sounds sick.
As the title of the episode suggests, Baltimore’s paper of record is not the only crumbling vestige of the city’s civil services. The cops are waiting on backpay that may never arrive and literally fighting mad about it. The original Slippin’ Jimmy (McNulty) is back to his boozing, whoring ways and thank god. Sweet Beadie might not deserve all the bullsh*t new old Jimmy is shoveling her way, but as the audience, we’re loving it. Drunk bastard McNulty is the closest this show gets to a face melting guitar solo and Jimmy is already shredding. Can’t wait to see how noodly this guy can get.
Tell us why The Hobbit f*cks in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.
