Read all about it! This week on the pod we have another journalist on the pod! Huffington Post Senior Politics reporter Daniel Marans joins Matt & Vince to talk about The Wire season five, episode two, “Unconfirmed Reports.” Jimmy and Scott are making stuff up and getting rewarded for it.

Hey, if you sign up for the Patreon, not only will you get a street name, but so far everyone who has signed up for the Patreon also got a text from their crush within the next week. No bs. I know I just said we were going to start lying but that’s true. A recurring theme on this pod is liking when the guys are friends, and this episode it’s Marlo and Avon who are warming heart cackles by bonding over their hatred of East Baltimore’s drug game players. The game is the game, but more importantly, the guys who are from the same place are friends. Are you an Incubus person or a Sublime person? Tell us in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts .
