[00:05:20] Speaker B: Yeah. So we gonna do our list a little different this time. Instead of us doing them, like, you know, giving our top five, we gonna, you know, pause, come together and create a list. And then. And then we'll do a top 10 out of that, our favorite. We'll do some favorites out of that. So where you wanna start? [00:05:47] Speaker A: I mean, we don't really have to jump all the way into it. [00:05:50] Speaker B: Okay, let's. [00:05:51] Speaker A: Let's coast into it. [00:05:53] Speaker B: I mean, we gonna have to jump. [00:05:54] Speaker A: I know, but I wanted to ask you a couple things about it. I want to ask you, like, what was your. Who was your favorite character on the Wire? [00:06:03] Speaker B: Favorite character? I like. Well, one thing about the Wire is I know McNulty is like one of the main protagonists, but it's kind of like it's a lot of protagonists on this show. It's like a whole ensemble of people. So a lot of the C and B characters are my favorites. Like prop Joe. [00:06:28] Speaker A: Okay. [00:06:29] Speaker B: We don't get a lot of backstory on prop Joe, but he one of my favorite. Brother Muzan is one of my favorite people. [00:06:34] Speaker A: Especially when he came on the scene, it was like, wow, you know, the villain ain't just Omar. Like, there's somebody that. [00:06:44] Speaker B: But who's the villain, though? [00:06:45] Speaker A: Nobody's a villain. [00:06:46] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:06:47] Speaker A: Nobody's a villain. [00:06:49] Speaker B: But if you really think about it, like, he's really a serial killer. He a serial killer. Omar is Omar. Well, do Omar got bodies? [00:06:58] Speaker A: Yeah, he killed Stinkum. [00:07:02] Speaker B: Well, yeah, Omar Chris is a serial killer. Snoop. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Oh, they definitely are. [00:07:08] Speaker B: Wee Bey. [00:07:10] Speaker A: Yeah, he gave up them bodies. Yep. [00:07:13] Speaker B: Burr, A lot of these people you see on the show, serial killers. [00:07:17] Speaker A: You right. [00:07:18] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? [00:07:18] Speaker A: You right. [00:07:20] Speaker B: And we don't look at it like that, but you know, they are you right? One thing about that show is that I was. I think it said it in the book. Maybe I was listening to another podcast and it was like, the police don't shoot they guns. It's only like three times on the show that the police shoot. One time is when Prez Bellwski shot. [00:07:40] Speaker A: His service weapon in the. [00:07:43] Speaker B: In the wall. [00:07:44] Speaker A: But he. Did he shoot his service weapon when he went down to the towers? [00:07:48] Speaker B: Nah, he didn't. He pistol whipped the kid. [00:07:50] Speaker A: He pistol whipped him, but. [00:07:52] Speaker B: And then he shot his gun again when he shot the cop. [00:07:56] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:07:57] Speaker B: Black men. Nolte never shot his gun. Nobody else ever shot that gun. [00:08:01] Speaker A: I wonder who came up with that. Who like really sat and thought of that. [00:08:05] Speaker B: Like, probably David Simon. Cause he used to be a cop. So. [00:08:10] Speaker A: Okay. No, I mean, I wonder who watched it and realized like. [00:08:15] Speaker B: No, they said that. Oh, David Simon said it. Yeah, okay. He was like, they made it a point to make the police not shoot. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah, but I don't have. I don't have. Really? You Know Avon Stringer at certain points, you know what I'm saying? [00:08:28] Speaker A: Bubbles might be mine. Cause, like, he's the only person during the whole series where when he came on the screen, it was like, entertaining. It was. He had his own style. To me, there wasn't no scene where you was like, oh, man, why he do that? You know, he was like the same person throughout the whole seasons. [00:08:54] Speaker B: We. Okay, explain that, like, what you mean by he was the same person? [00:08:58] Speaker A: Like, you know what you was gonna get when he came on the scene? Like, he was gonna, you know, make you laugh. He was gonna say something slick and intelligent at the same time. You know, just his character. I liked his character throughout the whole thing. [00:09:11] Speaker B: Okay, okay. Cause I didn't wanna, like, say something to it and you. And I'm answering something that you didn't mean. Cause he definitely changed. Cause he had a complete story arc, you know what I'm saying? [00:09:26] Speaker A: When he tried to kick it. [00:09:28] Speaker B: Yeah, he did kick it at the end. [00:09:30] Speaker A: Yeah, he did. And he did. Yeah. You know what he changed at that end part? When he started working at soup kitchen and stuff like that. [00:09:37] Speaker B: After Sherrod died. [00:09:39] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. But he was still Bubbles. Like, to me, it was. I like his character. Even when I see him, like now on social media, I think of Bubbles and he's fighting sobriety right now also. So who the sobriety? [00:09:54] Speaker B: There you go. Sobriety, fighting broads over here. Don't worry. This is gonna eat your ass up. [00:10:02] Speaker A: Nah, I straightened it out, though. [00:10:03] Speaker B: I got you. [00:10:04] Speaker A: I got you, though. [00:10:04] Speaker B: I got you. So who give me a scene you think should be in the top 10? You got em listed? You gotta go by. You can't come straight off the dome. [00:10:16] Speaker A: Nah, I had them listed, but it. [00:10:17] Speaker B: Was like, come show your list. Don't free ball this night. I'm free balling. Don't free ball. You can't do this. We gotta go off a list. You got done. [00:10:24] Speaker A: I got my list. [00:10:24] Speaker B: You twirling your phone, trying to think, you know. [00:10:27] Speaker A: I'm not trying to think. All right, okay, my. Let's. Let's go with my number five. My number five was the scene season four, where they was moving basically down in the basement or, you know, when the police, they had a new location, when they was trying to move that desk. [00:10:53] Speaker B: Oh, the death scene. [00:10:55] Speaker A: The death scene. [00:10:56] Speaker B: I wanna say I saw something kind of like that in another movie. Well, tell it a little more. Tell a little more about that scene. [00:11:02] Speaker A: Well, the death scene, you know, you had like, it was, I think it started with, like, two people trying to move a desk in one room. [00:11:09] Speaker B: It was Carver and. Carver and Herc and cough. Right? [00:11:14] Speaker A: Hurkin. Cough. [00:11:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:15] Speaker A: So they're trying to move a desk. What's the guy? Lester. Lester is the older guy. You know, he was messing with his little dollhouse managers. His dollhouse managers. So he's watching him try to move it. Well, then the captain comes in. What's the captain's name? I don't know. I, I, What's. [00:11:35] Speaker B: Cedric Daniels. [00:11:36] Speaker A: Daniels. That's it. Daniels. So Daniel's come in. He's helped pushing it. [00:11:41] Speaker B: Well, he's helped doing something. [00:11:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:44] Speaker B: Cause they don't mention which way they moving it. [00:11:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what it is. They're not mentioning which way they're moving this desk. So two is coming in. [00:11:52] Speaker B: Matter of fact, Herc asked Carver to help him move the desk. And he don't say which way he's going, but go ahead. [00:11:58] Speaker A: Yeah. They don't know which way they're going inside or outside the room. [00:12:02] Speaker B: Herc knows. Carver don't. [00:12:04] Speaker A: Herc knows. So he's pushing on one side. [00:12:06] Speaker B: Well, we don't know. [00:12:07] Speaker A: Or he's pushing. [00:12:08] Speaker B: Cause they doing whatever. [00:12:09] Speaker A: Yeah, that's why the scene is so funny to me, because Lester is sitting there watching them push and pull through a doorway. And then when they really find out which way they're going with it, everybody just like, gets mad and just throws everything down. And. [00:12:26] Speaker B: Well, how it, how it ends is, Herc is like. Cause after Daniels comes or whatever, they can't move it or whatever. He's like. They sit it down. He's like, man, I just can't believe it, man. [00:12:40] Speaker A: Can't get it out or something. [00:12:40] Speaker B: He was like, yeah. He was like. When I was trying to get it out by myself, it seemed like it was moving. It was like trying to get it out. It was like, motherfucker. And just walk off or whatever. He was like, what? [00:12:51] Speaker A: Daniel's face was like the top one. When you see his face, he just. [00:12:57] Speaker B: His eyes got wide and shit. [00:12:58] Speaker A: He didn't even help no more. That was like. If you want to give them numbers, that was my number 5 1. [00:13:06] Speaker B: For me, that was like. That included Lester Freeman, too. It was in season one when they couldn't. They couldn't. They didn't know what Avon Barksdale looked like. [00:13:20] Speaker A: Oh, that was a good scene. [00:13:22] Speaker B: And so McNulty and Kima, they were talking. Well, first they were two of the older guys. I forgot their names. Two of the old. They were like, Two drunks that were on the. [00:13:35] Speaker A: Gary retired. [00:13:36] Speaker B: Those two guys, they were about to retire, and they came in with the picture of who they said was Avon Boxtdale. And it was a white guy. And Freeman. And I'm sorry, not Freeman, Kima. And Minolti was like, well, you know, we don't know what he looks like. You know, came up in Baltimore, whatever, in the city projects. He run the projects now, whatever, blah, blah, blah. And eventually they was like, well, all we know is he did Golden Gloves, and Lester Freeman, he was doing his dollhouse miniatures again. And then he gets up and he. He gets up and he was like, do y'all say Golden Gloves? And all he do is just turn around, get his coat, and walk off. And then they don't know what he doing. They don't know where he going or whatever. And that's how it ends with him going out, and then he comes back later on with a picture of him with Avon with boxing gloves or whatever. [00:14:36] Speaker A: He did go to the boxing gym, didn't he? [00:14:38] Speaker B: Yeah, he go to the gym. [00:14:39] Speaker A: Yeah, there he is right there, going to the gym. And he gets that poster. [00:14:43] Speaker B: Gets the poster. [00:14:44] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah, cool. [00:14:46] Speaker B: Lester Freeman. [00:14:47] Speaker A: Lester Freeman. [00:14:48] Speaker B: Player. Yeah. Yeah. In the end, we find out he a player. Player. [00:14:53] Speaker A: That. That. That's. That's a good scene, that. That scene. But, you know what scene I thought you was gonna say, which is my number two scenes. [00:15:01] Speaker B: Don't say it. Say it if it's your number two scene. [00:15:04] Speaker A: That's. That's my number two scene. So I'm gonna go with my number five. My number. My fifth scene was when they had bubbles. [00:15:15] Speaker B: Your fifth scene? [00:15:16] Speaker A: I mean, my fourth. Fourth. My number four. My number four is when they had bubbles. Basically, they was trying to figure out who was who in the ranks with the drug dealers. [00:15:26] Speaker B: With the hats. [00:15:27] Speaker A: With the hats. So they had Bubbles down there with, you know, he had different fedoras and stuff like that, and he had a red one. So whenever he put the red one on for somebody to try it out, that would be the main one that they need to know. So they're at. [00:15:40] Speaker B: Yeah, that's somebody important. [00:15:41] Speaker A: Yeah, they up on the roof taking pictures. So whenever he puts the hat on, like, we bay, you know, they boom, snap the picture and stuff like that. I thought that was super clever because at the same time, Bubbles is down there being Bubbles, laughing and laughing. Yeah. And they trying it on. They, you know, they cracking jokes and stuff with each other, and they up there snapping pictures. [00:16:02] Speaker B: Yeah, that was a good. That Was a good scene. [00:16:03] Speaker A: I liked it because it was clever. It was super clever. And that's how Bubbles was, like throughout the whole series. He always come up with something clever. [00:16:14] Speaker B: That's a good one. [00:16:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:15] Speaker B: Let me see my number four. I'll probably say. I guess I saved that one for. My number four, I'll probably say, is around the end of season two, when they were trying to. They finally got a tale on who they thought was the Greek. [00:16:38] Speaker A: Okay. [00:16:38] Speaker B: And it was like a montage of Deedee, Russell and Freeman and I wanna say, in the Bunk. And they were trying to follow the Greek. They was like, downtown Baltimore or whatever. And she was like, undercover. And she was just, like, walking and following or whatever. She follows him up in the hotel. And yeah, they try to get a picture or whatever, but they don't really get the Greek. And so that was a good scene. Cause they had the music playing or whatever. Then finally they bring in Nick Sabaka, and he's like, yeah, he's not in the picture. Then he looks and he's like, oh, hold up. That's him right there. [00:17:20] Speaker A: This is the Greek kid. [00:17:21] Speaker B: And it was like, that's the Greek right there. And he's just a regular, ordinary older white guy, whatever. And so I like that scene, man. Cause, like, in real life, like, you especially like what I do now, you don't really know who really got that bread. Yeah, you don't really know who got that bread. And you'll be surprised. And it'd just be somebody who's ordinary, who ain't flashy, who look like a regular citizen, who might. You think you might can push over. And this nigga got killers. You know what I'm saying? So that's my number. That's my number four. Following the Greek. [00:17:52] Speaker A: The funny thing about that scene right there is what they say at the end is like, he's not even Greek. [00:17:59] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what he says. Yeah, he was like, my name is not my name. No, I'm not even Greek. Yeah. [00:18:05] Speaker A: Yep. My number three was. I'm basically. It was basically another chase. It was a chase scene where they was trying to get a picture of Avon. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Ah, season one. [00:18:18] Speaker A: Season one. [00:18:19] Speaker B: No. Was it season. Yeah, it was the end of season one. [00:18:21] Speaker A: Yep, yep. So. So season one, where now they getting a lead on where Avon might be. So they hear that he's down at the basketball game. So everybody raced down to the basketball game to see if they could get a picture or at least a glance to see who Avon Boxtel is. Well, Avon is. He's a slick guy. So they got a chase scene where they're basically cutting corners and Avon and them is trying to lose them and come to the end of the scene, basically. Avon is basically passing a road that they come down thinking they was gonna cut him off. But he comes through, waving his finger. [00:19:06] Speaker B: Like, ah, ah, ah, ah. [00:19:08] Speaker A: And keeps on going. [00:19:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I was trying to get to it. [00:19:11] Speaker A: Yeah, that scene. Yeah, that scene right there. They was going down this alley and cutting through this alley and going down that block. [00:19:17] Speaker B: And it's not really, like a fast chase. [00:19:20] Speaker A: No, it's not. [00:19:21] Speaker B: He's just driving through. Mm. And they. And they ride up on him, and then he do the. And I'm talking about. Everybody's on. [00:19:31] Speaker A: They had Dag on five cars. Four or five cars out there trying to catch up to him. [00:19:36] Speaker B: And to us, it looked like he really wasn't running. He was just driving regular. But they. On the radio, they talking to this person. I'm on this street, that street. I don't see him. He's getting ready. [00:19:45] Speaker A: Past this way. Yeah, here he comes. He's still sitting in the car. You know, all of this. And they're. And they're really just trying to get a look and see who it is. They're not even. They don't know who it is yet. They don't know he's on to them already. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And they don't really have no dirt on them. They just have his name. [00:20:02] Speaker A: Yep. [00:20:03] Speaker B: And that he is the head of the organization, but supposed to be. Yeah, yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. That's a good scene. I'm telling you. I'm trying to get to that. That part. [00:20:11] Speaker A: Oh, when he waits. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I'll fast forward a little bit. [00:20:14] Speaker A: You good? This scene right here, like, when you watching this show, you know, episode by episode. And this, you know, might have been only the action on this episode. Like part of the big, big, big action scene of the episode. Yeah. [00:20:30] Speaker B: TV back then was a lot different because it, like, now somebody head got to get blown off and all kind of shit for people to say it was asking. But this was, like, suspenseful, like. Yeah, exactly. They gonna get that nigga or. [00:20:40] Speaker A: Not exactly. And like you said, they had four or five cars out there, you know, cutting off this street. And this guy on the radio, he's on Pennsylvania. I'm standing here. I don't see him yet. You know, to the point where that last scene, he rolls by, and he's wagging his finger at him like, and. [00:20:58] Speaker B: That'S when you knew how smart he was. Cause watching it the first time, I was like, he just driving like, he don't even know they behind him. He's just doing his thing. And then he rolled past and did his finger like, I see you. [00:21:11] Speaker A: I see you. [00:21:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:14] Speaker A: For the people watching YouTube, just. Here it is. He got that one glance. [00:21:19] Speaker B: Ah, ah, ah. [00:21:21] Speaker A: And this is probably the only time that he. [00:21:24] Speaker B: Rocker Will. [00:21:25] Speaker A: This is probably the only time that he was out with no muscle. [00:21:30] Speaker B: Before then, though, he really didn't. They didn't really need the muscle. [00:21:35] Speaker A: Yeah, they didn't need muscle. But at the same time, this is the only time he's out there doing anything by himself. This and my number two. [00:21:44] Speaker B: Okay, let me go back to my list real quick. Wait, we on my. [00:21:49] Speaker A: You free balling it over there? [00:21:50] Speaker B: No, I'm not free balling. I got a list over here. [00:21:52] Speaker A: Let's see what you got. [00:21:53] Speaker B: I got a list of videos. Hmm. My number three is when they. It kind of ties in two scenes. But it's Sergey, who they really called. They was calling him Boris. Cause he had a. He had a. Like a Russian accent. But he was on the phone. Well, he called somebody. Somebody called him. And they were asking him, you know, they were trying to make sure that he didn't kill one of their guys or whatever. And on the phone he said, does he have hands? Does he have a face? Then it wasn't us. He hung the phone up, smoked his cigarette and got down. Was like. Or whatever. But that shit came back to bite him. Because that phone call was being recorded. And they played it for him on this scene right here, him saying that. Then they show him pictures of somebody that they cut his hands off and they cut his head off. And then it was like the DNA matches. Whatever, whatever. So this is what got him to snitch on the Greek. And this was around the end of season two or whatever. But that was one of my favorite. One of my favorite things on the season. Cause that's just a hard line. Like, does he have hands? Does he have a face? Like, that's crazy. [00:23:21] Speaker A: But it wasn't us then. [00:23:22] Speaker B: It wasn't us. So that's my number three. [00:23:24] Speaker A: Okay. [00:23:25] Speaker B: Right there, son. [00:23:26] Speaker A: That's your number three? [00:23:27] Speaker B: That's my number three. Yeah. [00:23:28] Speaker A: Well, my number two was the scene where Omar. This basically. This is probably season three. [00:23:37] Speaker B: Okay. [00:23:38] Speaker A: Season three, I think it was. Omar and Avon was basically gunning for each other. Omar was laying low outside the club Orlando's. [00:23:52] Speaker B: And what it was Omar Was it three or two? [00:23:56] Speaker A: I think it was three. If it was two, it was towards the end. If not one of the last episodes of three of two. But either way, Omar basically got Avon's number. [00:24:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:13] Speaker A: So Omar would go and page the number and Avon would go to the phone. So now he got the upper hand on him. So he can do that. He was. And basically he paged him to come out to the phone. [00:24:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:29] Speaker A: His old Avon's muscle, we. Bey had just went to the store. Yeah. [00:24:36] Speaker B: And what happened was. So he had. He had Weebey's code. [00:24:42] Speaker A: That's what it was. [00:24:43] Speaker B: He had Weebey's code to the pager. [00:24:45] Speaker A: Yep, exactly. [00:24:45] Speaker B: And hadn't. If Weebe didn't just leave to go to the store, he wouldn't have been able to. Avon wouldn't have caught it. Cause he pays him using Wee Bey's code. And he was like, why Wee Bey paging me? And he just left. That looks strange. You know what I'm saying? It's fucked up or whatever. So he go out. You know what I'm saying? But, yeah, that was a good scene. [00:25:05] Speaker A: Omar was laying on her, waiting. So then when he. Avon basically came out, Omar went for it, shooting at him. But we. Bey had just pulled up at the same time, right? [00:25:16] Speaker B: Yeah, he pulls back up. That's it. [00:25:18] Speaker A: He leave. [00:25:18] Speaker B: He pulled back up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he pulled back up. [00:25:21] Speaker A: Yeah. That was. Like I said, each episode had like a big drama shootout scene or a climax of the episode. And this was one of the famous ones. [00:25:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:35] Speaker A: Cause it was basically action on it. We watching it. [00:25:38] Speaker B: And it wasn't really a lot of action. It's just. [00:25:41] Speaker A: Storyline. [00:25:42] Speaker B: Storyline. Yeah. But, yeah, this is just the one scene. It wasn't a long scene as far as the action part. It was suspenseful. You just wonder whether or not he was gonna get taken out. [00:25:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Back then, you didn't know that there was other seasons coming up. [00:25:59] Speaker B: No. [00:25:59] Speaker A: So he could have got killed. [00:26:02] Speaker B: Mm. Yeah. Shout out to them, though. It's good writing, good acting. Cause he had already caught Wee Bey, I wanna say. He shot Wee Bay earlier. [00:26:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, they almost got him. That's when they killed Stinkum. [00:26:15] Speaker B: Yeah. And then he shot Wee Bey in the leg. [00:26:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Weebe did get shot during that. [00:26:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So shout out to them. My number. What we on three? [00:26:26] Speaker A: Your number two. [00:26:27] Speaker B: Nah, we on we on two. [00:26:29] Speaker A: That was my number two. [00:26:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. My number three was Hands and face, ain't it? My number two is a very important one. And it just shows how kind of like the mental state of. Oh, I'm gonna have to switch it. [00:26:49] Speaker A: Well, you got one, you got. You could put something. [00:26:52] Speaker B: No, because I got a few more. But. [00:26:57] Speaker A: Two is still a strong number. I mean, it don't have to be. [00:27:00] Speaker B: Okay, so this number two, it's before a season. Gotta be season three. But this is when we find out just how bad Marlo is. We don't know it yet, but Marlo. [00:27:16] Speaker A: I know what you girly say. [00:27:17] Speaker B: Marlo walks into the to store. [00:27:20] Speaker A: You only want it. [00:27:21] Speaker B: He. Let me. Let me tell my story. Go ahead, let me tell it. He walks into a store. There's a security guard in the store. And he snatches two dum dums. Little dum dums. Look at the dude, then put him in his pocket, walk out. The dude walk behind him. And Marlo just walks up to him and say, you want it to be one way, but it's the other. [00:27:46] Speaker A: He was like, stop saying that. [00:27:47] Speaker B: Yeah, stop saying that. Yeah. You act like I ain't standing here. You know what I'm saying? I ain't stepping to. [00:27:54] Speaker A: I know who you are. [00:27:55] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I ain't stepping too. And then Chris and Snoop pull up on him or whatever, Whatever. But they find out who he is. And later on we see he kill him. But you want it to be one way. That's one cold ass line. [00:28:08] Speaker A: That was a line. [00:28:10] Speaker B: And then like at the beginning of another episode, we see them shooting. They say like, he ain't no. Well, they say it in this episode like he ain't no real cop. He just moonlighting as a security guard or whatever. You know what I'm saying? [00:28:22] Speaker A: They end up killing him. [00:28:23] Speaker B: Yeah, they end up killing him. Yeah. But we see them throw his little security badge or whatever. They take his badge after they take him in one of the row houses. But yeah, this is one of my favorite scenes ever right here though. [00:28:35] Speaker A: So really, they killed. They killed him for no reason. [00:28:37] Speaker B: Nah, they killed him for talking back. [00:28:39] Speaker A: Yeah, just. Yeah, just approaching them face to face on. Yeah. [00:28:43] Speaker B: And that's what they say. There's like. I wanna say one of the other episodes, like why we getting him? Or whatever. He's like talking back. [00:28:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:28:50] Speaker B: So that's my number two. My number two. [00:28:52] Speaker A: Number two. [00:28:53] Speaker B: Yeah. What about you? [00:28:55] Speaker A: My number one. [00:28:55] Speaker B: Uh huh. [00:28:56] Speaker A: Is probably. I'm gonna say season one. [00:29:01] Speaker B: Season one. Yeah. [00:29:03] Speaker A: I think it was the first time you see Omar. [00:29:06] Speaker B: Hmm. Okay. [00:29:07] Speaker A: Possibly. [00:29:08] Speaker B: What happened in that scene? [00:29:10] Speaker A: He's walking down the street with the whistle. [00:29:15] Speaker B: When you said whistle, I Thought you meant gun. [00:29:17] Speaker A: The gun too. He had the shot. That's. He had the trench coat with the shotgun hanging out of the bottom. And basically he was. Basically, he was setting a trap. He knew these guys were gonna run down a certain alley. So he's walking down the street with his gun out. [00:29:35] Speaker B: I don't know if this the scene. [00:29:37] Speaker A: But that's it right there. [00:29:38] Speaker B: Is it? No, no, no, this ain't the one. [00:29:40] Speaker A: This a different one. This one, he robs the. [00:29:42] Speaker B: The stash. [00:29:42] Speaker A: The stash. This is another. [00:29:44] Speaker B: But they robbed the stash at night. [00:29:46] Speaker A: No, he was robbing the stash whenever. Remember? He was like, don't make me huff and puff. [00:29:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. On this one. [00:29:52] Speaker A: Yeah, he just threw the. [00:29:54] Speaker B: Threw it down. Yeah, but in the first season when he robbed the stash, because that's what got him killed, got his boyfriend killed. They go to. They find out where the stash is. Cause they weren't switching the stash up. [00:30:07] Speaker A: Oh, that's when he was in the house. [00:30:08] Speaker B: And they go in the house and he shoot the guy in the leg. Shoot him in the leg. And he miss and say, oh, my name. Brandon, say, oh, my name. And that's how they know who it is. And then they call, you know, they figure out who he is. And you know what I'm saying? [00:30:22] Speaker A: Yeah. So basically the ending of My Number one was the guy had a money sign on his chain and he was like, yeah, all for the cheese. [00:30:33] Speaker B: Oh, but it wasn't. He said, the cheese stands alone. [00:30:36] Speaker A: Yeah, something like that. [00:30:37] Speaker B: Cause that's. That's. Yeah, that's the lyrics in the song the cheese Stands alone. Yeah, yeah, but those guys. Matter of fact, the scene you talking about, the guys were sitting on the stoop. Yep. Omar coming. That one guy didn't hear. [00:30:50] Speaker A: He had to have. [00:30:51] Speaker B: He had headphones on. Little husky boy. [00:30:53] Speaker A: Yep. [00:30:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, that one. [00:30:55] Speaker A: That was just a robbery. He didn't kill nobody. [00:30:56] Speaker B: Yeah, he didn't kill nobody. He, like. You say he set him up. I wanna say, did he have the girls then or was it the other guy? He had somebody waiting down the alleyway with him. [00:31:07] Speaker A: Yeah, but basically he got down. It had to be the guy. Cause the girls were there. [00:31:12] Speaker B: The girls weren't there yet. Oh, yeah. You did say first season. [00:31:15] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it had to be first season. [00:31:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:16] Speaker A: Cause I think that was the first season. The first. The first scene of Omar, if I'm not mistaken. [00:31:22] Speaker B: Okay. [00:31:23] Speaker A: First, first season. Probably like third or fourth episode. But yeah, that was my number one. And the reason was My number one. Cause it was like Omar at his best, you know, they got so many memes on it. You see so many videos of him with the bulletproof vest, the trench coat and the shotgun hanging. And when you think of Omar, that. [00:31:49] Speaker B: Is the scene with him walking down the street. [00:31:51] Speaker A: With the shotgun. [00:31:52] Speaker B: With the shotgun, yeah. [00:31:52] Speaker A: That's Omar all the way. [00:31:54] Speaker B: My number one is kind of cliche. It takes it back to September 2008. Nawahi was on. I was at school down in Jacksonville. And at the school, we didn't have hbo. We had Showtime. And so Blaze called me and spoils it. [00:32:15] Speaker A: Oh, I know what you talking about. [00:32:17] Speaker B: What do you think it is? [00:32:18] Speaker A: When he ran up the stairs, couldn't get away. [00:32:22] Speaker B: Stringer Bell, he calls it ego. They done kill Stringer Bell, Bo. You can't kill Stringer Bell, Bo. But yeah, when Brother Muzon. Brother Muzon and Omar and Omar teamed up after Stringer Bell did some dirty work to try to get Omar taken out. They figured out that it wasn't Avon, but it was Stringa that did the dirty work. When and tried to get Omar. Either Omar killed or tried to get Brother Muzan killed. Yeah, he tried to get Omar killed at first. No, they tried to kill Omar. [00:33:01] Speaker A: What it was is Brother Muzone came. [00:33:04] Speaker B: Yeah, Brother Muzone came to kill Omar. [00:33:06] Speaker A: They wanted to get Omar, but Omar had got a drop on Brother Muzone and shot him. It was basically. It was a setup. Stringer Bell set it all up. But then he tried to place Omar at default. [00:33:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Cause who. Yeah. Cause who said no? Yeah, Omar did. But initially Omar was going after the Boxdales because. [00:33:32] Speaker A: Cause of Brandon. [00:33:33] Speaker B: Cause of Brandon. Yeah, they killed Brandon. And they told Omar that it was Brother Muzan who did it. So he ran up on the dude that used to be with Brother Muzan. Was going to the gay bars. [00:33:55] Speaker A: Gay bars. [00:33:55] Speaker B: Looking for Omar, asking for Omar. And when that guy came out. I mean, when. [00:34:04] Speaker A: I don't think that was it. Cause Brother Muzon's opening scene is when he came to the Towers. I think that's when they hired. [00:34:12] Speaker B: Yeah, well, they hired him as security. [00:34:14] Speaker A: I thought it was to get rid of Omar. [00:34:16] Speaker B: No, to get rid of the Eastside niggas. So Avon was in jail. And Avon heard that Eastside N was hustling in the Towers. And he got the Eastside niggas to run him off. But Avon didn't know that Stringer had to deal with Prop Joe. [00:34:34] Speaker A: And you know what you write about Stringer Bell saying that Brother Muzone killed Brandon? [00:34:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:43] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what it was. [00:34:44] Speaker B: Cause he said he was like some bow tie nigga from New York or something. From what I hear, that wasn't us. You know what I'm saying? And they put it all together. But after they put it all together, after Avon, I mean, after Omar shot Brother Muzan in the stomach. Cause after he shot him, Avon, I mean, Omar just wanted to know why. Why did you do the. [00:35:12] Speaker A: And he basically said, that wasn't me. You know, he even called the cops for Brother Muzan so he wouldn't die. [00:35:18] Speaker B: Mm. Cause I wanna say he got him in the hotel. [00:35:21] Speaker A: Yeah, he did. [00:35:22] Speaker B: He had him in the hotel. [00:35:24] Speaker A: The bodyguard went out to get books. Yeah, the bodyguard went to get books or something like that. That's when he got the drop on him. [00:35:31] Speaker B: But who was it? Wasn't it a scene where somebody ran? Omar ran up on the guy and. [00:35:41] Speaker A: For looking for him. The muscle? [00:35:44] Speaker B: Yeah, his muscle. But then Brother Muzan ran and hit. Who did Brother Muzan run and hit? In the back of the head. He got Omar, right? Yeah, but when did Omar shoot him? That same time. [00:35:54] Speaker A: No, it couldn't have been. [00:35:55] Speaker B: I gotta watch it again. [00:35:57] Speaker A: It was just to talk to him. That's when Brother Muzone found out that Stringer Bell was lying. That's what got them both knowing that Stringer Bell was playing them both. [00:36:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:36:10] Speaker A: And so the final scene when they killed Stringer Bell, it was, you know, Stringer Bell was basically showing. He was. He was at a apartment building. This was during the daytime too? [00:36:22] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. One he was rehabbing or whatever. [00:36:24] Speaker A: Yep. He seen. He seen Omar downstairs, started running upstairs, and Brother Muzan was already upstairs. [00:36:32] Speaker B: And he had muscle in the building too. He had muscle and some contractors. [00:36:36] Speaker A: Yeah, they killed contractors in there, right? [00:36:38] Speaker B: No, they didn't kill the contractors. They let him. They let the contractor go, but they shot his muscle. They killed his muscle. [00:36:44] Speaker A: Okay. [00:36:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Cause Omar had a cold. He don't put his gun on it. In Regular Citizens. Yeah. You got any more? [00:36:52] Speaker A: Just the last scene. Well, I'm not even gonna say the last scene. It was when I thought the show got slow once Omar got killed. [00:37:05] Speaker B: Once Omar got killed? [00:37:06] Speaker A: Yep. When Omar went in that deli and that young kid, Canard. Canard killed his ass. [00:37:14] Speaker B: Do you think the show got slow after that? [00:37:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it was over for me. But I mean. I mean, it wasn't over that. And when what's called. Got killed. You know Snoop. Nope. Hold on. Corner boy. Don't say his name. [00:37:32] Speaker B: Bodhi. [00:37:33] Speaker A: Bodie. That scene where Bodie was gunning for everybody. He was standing on that corner. Cause he didn't want to give it up. That could have been my number one. That's when it was finally over for me. Bodhi. [00:37:47] Speaker B: Come on, Bodie. [00:37:48] Speaker A: Come on. Come on, man. Come on. No, I ain't going nowhere. These are my corners. [00:37:54] Speaker B: Well, it really wasn't about the corners. They thought he was snitching. Cause somebody saw him come out of the. [00:38:03] Speaker A: With McNutty. [00:38:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So that's really what it was about. And Marlo wasn't having none of that shit, man. [00:38:12] Speaker A: Marlo was. Marlo was a good character. [00:38:15] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was another psychopath. [00:38:17] Speaker A: Yep. [00:38:19] Speaker B: One of my favorite scenes. Another one, and then we'll get out of here was. It was kind of a couple scenes, but it all was the same storyline. It was Officer Tillman in the jail. He was harassing Weebe. Turned over his little fake fish he had in the cell. He wouldn't really like, talk to Avon, even though Avon was getting food and shit in there. So he knew that. So Avon knew that Tillman was bringing drugs in. They got Butchy to set up Tillman to give him some spike work and, you know, got people killed. And Avon said he knew who had to work. So they got Tillman arrested. They got it hid in his car, the fake work. And then I think you're getting it. [00:39:12] Speaker A: Wrong a little bit. [00:39:13] Speaker B: How? [00:39:14] Speaker A: I think he sent that spike package out to get his nephew off them drugs. To find out if his nephew was doing it. [00:39:21] Speaker B: No, no. He knew his nephew was doing drugs. [00:39:23] Speaker A: Cause he told him, don't do it. [00:39:24] Speaker B: Yeah, he told him not to do it. He knew his. Cause he went to him one day, he was like, man, you looking a little dusty. [00:39:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:39:30] Speaker B: How about lay off that stuff a little bit? You know what I'm saying? See if your head clear. For real. [00:39:34] Speaker A: It was already in play. [00:39:35] Speaker B: Then he was gonna put it in play. Okay. He was about to put it in play. [00:39:39] Speaker A: I got you. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Cause Tillman was mad at them because somebody in Avon crew killed his nephew. [00:39:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:47] Speaker B: And so they wanted to get Tillman out the way. So to get Tillman out the way, they was like, we could use that to get some years shaved off. You know what I'm saying? [00:39:56] Speaker A: So he was bold to treat Avon like that. Yeah, he was like. I'm talking. [00:40:04] Speaker B: He's like, officer Tillman, can I have a word with you? [00:40:08] Speaker A: Yep. [00:40:09] Speaker B: Yeah. And dudes kept on and turned around. [00:40:11] Speaker A: And cursed at him. [00:40:12] Speaker B: Cause really, what Started it was. He kept fucking with Wee Bey, tossing his cell. And Wee BAE was like, man, this motherfucker Tillman, man, he hard on a nigga. Whatever. He's like, man, I'll talk to him, or whatever. And that's when he kept going. And Avon ain't like that shit. You know what I'm saying? [00:40:28] Speaker A: You know, we Beg was only in. He was probably, what, three episodes, three seasons, two seasons. [00:40:35] Speaker B: Nah, he was in more than that. [00:40:37] Speaker A: I mean, not. He was only on the street for like, two seasons. [00:40:41] Speaker B: Maybe one. [00:40:42] Speaker A: One, right? [00:40:43] Speaker B: Cause I wanna say they got locked up the end of the first season. [00:40:46] Speaker A: Yeah. That's what it is. [00:40:47] Speaker B: They got locked up the end of the first season. Yeah. [00:40:49] Speaker A: That's crazy, though. [00:40:50] Speaker B: Cause Avon got no his impact. [00:40:53] Speaker A: See, I didn't. You liked season two. [00:40:56] Speaker B: He did, yeah. He got locked up. I wanna say, the first season. Cause Avon got out again. Cause he got locked up in the first season. And then he got out again. And then he got locked up in the third season. Cause he was out in the third season. Cause that was the scene where the chase scene was the first season or the third season? [00:41:23] Speaker A: Which chase? [00:41:24] Speaker B: The chase scene with the police. [00:41:25] Speaker A: They're trying to get a picture of him. [00:41:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I see him in the car. That was the first season or the third season when he did the finger wag? [00:41:33] Speaker A: That had to be first season. Yeah, first season. [00:41:35] Speaker B: That was first season. [00:41:36] Speaker A: Cause they already knew who he was and everything by two. [00:41:39] Speaker B: Cause remember that scene where Herc told Keema? He was like, yeah, remember that mope we. Yeah, yeah. That was the third scene. He's like, remember that mope we locked up. Whatever, whatever. Like, he's out. He's like, what do you mean? He's like, nah, I saw him. He's like. She was like, we don't look. You think we look just alike her or whatever. You know what I'm saying? And she went and looked and saw he got released. And then at the end of the episode, she threw the shit off the table, off the desk. [00:42:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:02] Speaker B: So that was the third season. Yeah. Yeah. This show was good, man. I love it. I love it. I can go on and on about it. [00:42:08] Speaker A: I watch it probably once a year. [00:42:10] Speaker B: Yeah, me too. [00:42:11] Speaker A: Me too. [00:42:11] Speaker B: Once a year. Me too. I might do that with another show, like Snowfall or something. I might do that with Snowfall. [00:42:17] Speaker A: I haven't really ran into shows like that. Besides, you know, I do Sopranos like that once a year. Power. I can't do it. [00:42:27] Speaker B: I did Atlanta like that. I watched Atlanta a Couple times. Atlanta's so fucking good, man. [00:42:31] Speaker A: Yeah, Atlanta's another one. You can do that with that one. [00:42:34] Speaker B: I can't do it with power. [00:42:35] Speaker A: I can't do it with power either. [00:42:36] Speaker B: I can't do it with power. [00:42:39] Speaker A: I can't even watch a episode that I saw already on Power. Like last week's episode. I wouldn't want to watch it again. [00:42:46] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, me either. [00:42:48] Speaker A: And I like Raising Canaan because of the, you know, the 90s feel to it. The 90s theme to it. [00:42:54] Speaker B: You know what's crazy, though, I guess, is because we were kind of older when that time was out. Like we were preteens or teenagers. Like in the 90s now. Like, the shoes and the clothes. It seemed like it ain't been that long ago. Like, you see the Tommy Hilfiger shit or whatever they be wearing or the polo, and you like, okay, but this don't seem 90s. But it really was 90s. You know what I'm saying? [00:43:16] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I like that rapper on a new one. [00:43:20] Speaker B: Are you caught up? [00:43:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:22] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm caught up. I want to see where they go with him. [00:43:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I like his rapping. [00:43:30] Speaker B: That's the thing. Was n really rapping like that? Cause it. What year they supposed to be now? 93. [00:43:36] Speaker A: Not really. That last three. [00:43:38] Speaker B: 94. [00:43:38] Speaker A: That last song he did in the booth, they wasn't rapping like that. [00:43:41] Speaker B: Nah, I didn't think so. [00:43:42] Speaker A: The one on stage. Yeah. Cause that almost had the same. [00:43:45] Speaker B: The one where he was feeling sad after the event happened. Talking about that one. He was sitting back down. The one from Friday. Remember the event happened. He go back to the studio, and the white guy comes back and was like. And tells Lou what happened. [00:44:00] Speaker A: No, not that one. The one where they told. When he told him to get out of the booth. [00:44:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. So it's one that kind of rapping. [00:44:07] Speaker A: They. [00:44:07] Speaker B: They didn't do that. [00:44:08] Speaker A: Nah, it wasn't like that. But that was hard, though. [00:44:10] Speaker B: I was like, yeah, yeah, I didn't think so. That's another part of it where I'm like, they kind of missing the mark when, like, it niggas was almost rapping like that. But they weren't rapping like that back then. [00:44:22] Speaker A: That was. That was like. That's almost like gangsta rap. Like, that's now kind of rap. [00:44:26] Speaker B: That's more like 97 rap. 97, 98 rap. Not like 93, 94 rap. That's why I asked, like, what year they supposed to be? [00:44:34] Speaker A: It might be even. Even more than that even, you know, newer than that? [00:44:38] Speaker B: Nah. Cause DMX is kind of rapping like that. [00:44:40] Speaker A: That's what it was. Yeah. 97, 98. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:44:43] Speaker B: That's why I said 97, 98. Because DMX was kind of rapping more in the locks. They was rapping like that. [00:44:49] Speaker A: Yeah. I like him, though. I like it. I like his rapping. [00:44:51] Speaker B: Yeah, but it was cool. Now shout out to the ya, though. You got anything else while we get out of here? [00:44:57] Speaker A: Nah. Shout out to Corey.
