[The Wire] 302: All Due Respect, with Mike Duncan of Revolutions

“Bodie is the one my heart goes out to the most.” -Mike Duncan This week’s guest is host and creator of the Revolutions , History of Rome , and the upcoming Duncan & Coe History Show podcasts, Mike Duncan . He joins Matt & Vince to talk about The Wire season three, episode two, “All Due Respect.” The guys get together to remember some guys and some girls. Remember Gus Triandos? The catcher for the Orioles in the 50s & 60s? He’s who Herc would have sex with if it meant he could then have sex with the Olsen twins. Remember the Olsen twins? Remember that brief window when all the creeps like Herc were stoked for them to turn 18, and then they turned 18 and the creeps moved on to the next almost 18-year-old girl? Such a fun time in American culture. Remember that old smoke hound who put his beer in a paper bag for the first time? Bunny Colvin sure does, and he’s using it as a metaphor for how he’s going to clean up the streets of Baltimore by letting drug dealers and users do their dealing and using in a figurative paper bag, setting the plan for Hamsterdam in motion.
