“He [Norman] doesn’t like Carcetti but he’s still got a job to do, which I love.” -Lyall BehrensYou know our guest this week is a true Wire head because his favorite character is Carcett’s deputy campaign manager, Norman.

First, we see him making phone calls for Royce’s campaign, because you know what they say, keep your friends close, and your mayors who you walked in while he was getting a blowie in his office closer because he can probably help your career. Then, Herc gets to provision a camera for police duty, which has always worked out really well for him.This is also a great episode for any cold-blooded murder fans, because we see Chris kill a nice looking delivery woman in an attempt to set up Omar. Wow, men will conspire to commit murder and frame a street rival before they go to therapy. smdh.Tell us how horny you are for the freshly-shaved Mayor Royce in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.Email us at [email protected]; leave us a voicemail at 415-275-0030Support the Pod: become a patron at patreon.com/Frotcast and get more bonus content than you could ever want.
