[The Wire] 408: Corner Boys, with Roy Wood Jr.

“In a bizarro world, I would watch a Chris and Snoop buddy comedy.” -Roy Wood Jr. Shake it and jiggle it and listen to the latest episode with actor and comedian Roy Wood Jr. joining Matt and Vince to discuss The Wire season four episode 8, “Corner Boys.” The shaking and jiggling is a reference to a Young Leek song that factors into a fun little game Chris and Snoop are playing to figure out which corner boys are from New York so they can shoot them in the face. If you’re on the streets in W. Baltimore and you don’t know Mark Clark and the Big Fat Morning Show, a bullet might shake and jiggle your brain as it rattles around inside your skull. If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like if Robert Chew was cast to play Fletch , you get your chance in this episode. He’s on the phone pulling out all his best voicework and silly fake names to track down Herc. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to meet Wendell Pierce, Roy tells us it’s pretty much what you’d expect. He’ll be manning the grill on a rooftop in Atlanta, but instead of talking about lacrosse, he’ll talk about hockey. Tell us your favorite 92Q DJ in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts .
