[The Wire] 309: Slapstick, with Allison Mick

“I didn’t like that they shot Omar’s grandma in the butt and pissed on her church crown.” -Allison Mick

There are rumors flying around that Gerard and Sapper shot Omar’s grandma in the ass, pissed on her church crown, and waved their weiners at her, but Matt & Vince invited writer & comedian Allison Mick to clear things up while talking about The Wire season three, episode nine, “Slapstick.”

Stringer and Avon continue to butt heads over how to handle the Marlo situation, while Jimmy and Lester butt heads over the importance of hobbies. As Lester puts it, “The job will not save you,” and in Prezbo’s case, the job might cause you to kill another cop. Yep this is the episode where somewhat reformed fuck-up Prezbo does one, last, huge fuck-up on his way out the door. He killed Derrick and his career with one shot. Still better accuracy than most cops, probably. 

Do you think Jimmy ate that Chinese takeout after they realized Prezbo killed a cop? Tell us in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.
