<v Speaker 1>See was whose called time was the next morning so

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 1>we could go out and get something to drink, hang

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>out for I was on the continuous from Odds, so

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I knew we had something special.

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 4>I had picked that up.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 3>I had picked that up.

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>It was the first time, like I'm looking at people

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>that's coming up that I was watching they work the

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>same way they was watching my work.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 3>When I did Odds.

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Everybody was already kind of famous, already you know what

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. But when we got here that made us

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.479
<v Speaker 1>and I saw I saw that work coming down.

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 7>But I think the thing with me, nobody don't know.

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 7>The Wire was my first job as an actor, so

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 7>that was my first time I ever auditioned for a role,

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 7>first job. So just being around these guys, I'm like, yo,

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 7>I remember asking JD a whole bunch of questions, Bro,

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 7>what is.

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 3>What is the trailer?

0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 7>You know, telling me to do it look like rehearsal.

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 7>I'm like, all right, But you know, like I said,

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 7>it may be here twenty three years later and still

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 7>just getting to it.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 3>You know, everybody healthy, living and breathing, you know what

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying.

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just it's people finding new every day.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Somebody find the show in the day, so it don't

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:15.959
<v Speaker 1>really more.

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Popular now some years later than it was it.

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 8>None of y'all knew it was going to be a

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 8>cultural staple.

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 3>I feel like.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>That I ain't know that cultural statement. You know, when

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>you're moving around anywhere in the world though they know you,

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, like somebody might just stop

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and say, man, run them lines real quick. They quote

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>your lines, you know. I mean it was like, yeah,

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, but it's like the study part of it.

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Like when I first came on set, try and tell

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>you we was right there. We was an interesting trailer

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and we was running lives and just like what else

0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>you've been on. I was like, this is my first

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>time outright. He was like the first time I aware,

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I say, first time on the block. So we were

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>shooting in the funeral home in Baltimore, like broad day

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 1>night funeral home, and we was there. A lot of

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 1>people don't know the twelve hours twelve hours hot days

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>turn around, you turn around. So we out there, we

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>busting it and we randomized. We were out there, it

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>was raining, and we take Bresh for lunch. It was

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.519
<v Speaker 1>just a family and we still family to today.

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Man, Now I want to talk from the beginning of

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the wire. So when y'all got the call, to do

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the wire break that down when you first read the script,

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and how did y'all know that y'all wanted to do it?

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 7>So they I initially auditioned for we Beae initially character,

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 7>and I remember going in there with Pat Moran out

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 7>there in Baltimore and she like, YO, quote this monologue.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 7>So two weeks later I get a call she said,

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 7>we got some bad and good news. She said, the

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 7>bad news is you didn't get the characters we maye,

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 7>but you was cast for the character Poop. And I

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 7>was only supposed to be in the first two episodes

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 7>in the first season.

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 3>And then spoil Alert ended up getting.

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 7>Poop all five seasons last you know what I'm saying.

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 7>So I was just happy, you know, getting that script.

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 7>And throughout the years, throughout the seasons, it never said

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 7>I was getting killed, you know.

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.360

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 3>They didn't tell you before.

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 7>They were just you get the script and you read

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 7>that's like when Snoop shot at me, you know what

<v Speaker 1>And that's what side on us, ye on us and

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>dream club dreaming like who Fred was like that's where Fred,

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>You don't go You ain't have to head off.

<v Speaker 4>And smack everything like you're getting in trouble.

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>And like Georgia and David and was like the big

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the uncles they come to because I know I was

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>on the show. I got locked up for a gun.

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 1>They had me in legal times and everything. They came

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 1>for me and everything. They came to court and I

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:08.719
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is there for me? And they was

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>like no, no, it's good. You got you reason blow

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the way that we should because we didn't get in

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>trouble the right way.

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying.

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 4>It was quiet. We was quiet.

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 3>We have respect for each other.

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 10>We didn't.

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>We wasn't just completely messing up. If we would have

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 1>got had some type of scandal or something like that,

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>it would have caught on.

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Like the second season.

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 4>Mailed me out like twice in the lobby at the precincts.

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.079
<v Speaker 3>You know what so you know what. You know, what's

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 3>so crazy?

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 7>Social media wasn't what it is now that all the

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 7>stories and things getting locked up in different situations like that.

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 7>It wasn't video like when I was in the Just

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 7>think natural, Yeah, it was.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 3>That is what I was never understand.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.440
<v Speaker 1>That is what I never understand about Hollywood.

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 11>Everything they say doesn't work always works and works in

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 11>historic ways. Not only was the Wire name the greatest

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:15.319
<v Speaker 11>TV show the twenty first century majority black cast, and

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 11>you're telling me that that was that was like a

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 11>lot of y'all's first time even at that they.

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 8>Didn't know what they was doing.

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 4>That's shot.

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy because it was like we were the largest

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>African American cast and thirty principal role everybody, everybody, everybody

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>had a main character. Crazy how you keep up with that?

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 8>So how does Hollywood convince people that black ship don't work?

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, because but behind closed doors you get

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>them exacts respectfully. I tell you your how y'all the

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>ones we get all that ship from y'all. I mean,

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>just to show y'all story, y'all keep letting us do it.

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I said, now, how the gate keeper telling me how

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>did this.

0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 10>Another thing Hollywood.

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Most of the time they only want one at a time,

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>one or two people at a time. That's real. So

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna squeeze you in and squeeze you out if

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you figure out how to make your own niche and

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>that's it. But the time they're not gonna grind it

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>out on fire still on five Man, it'll blow your mind.

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I read for so many roles, man, my head, like

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing. I'm reading, kid, I'm reading. I just

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>read for this. I just read for four episodes on FBI.

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm getting for that shoe, you

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. They can't have a good TV

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>show without somebody from the Wire on it. No show

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>out right now without somebody from Me and.

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.839
<v Speaker 7>JD did six seasons on Saintsan Centers, Bounce TV, Hulo,

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 7>me and JD. Okay being Meth season two and season three,

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 7>Me and j D. You know what I'm saying, So

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 7>like us being like the dynamic duo. It started on

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 7>the Wire together with Homeboys on the Wire. Now it's

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 7>I think Satan Senters. Though we were at odds, we

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 7>was enemies senior.

0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Like that.

0:11:58.360 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 6>The script was improv though how much did y'all improv?

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 6>Did y'all go off script?

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 10>Because none of its not a lot.

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 4>That's how ill it was. It was all on the paper.

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Ye can't. They don't let you do like you might

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>just say one word and that, but they want that

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>They say, cut, hey, you need your line, run them

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>in this line. I always said, I don't. I don't

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>want nobody to say, throw me my line. Facts. I

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>just closed the though I cut everything off of study.

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, the ad leven, they don't really go for it.

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Like respectfully, I did not say or the ad lib

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>or improv that Knicks line. And season one Angelot come

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 1>back and I said, he said, what you doing? I said,

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 1>on watching the Knicks? Fuck they draft up right, that's

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>exactly what we said. That's like, I wonder how they

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 1>let me in the guard and after that, But David

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>wrote that they would let me get away.

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 3>He would let me get away with a lot of stuff.

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>But I would test it out first, like I would

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>use it on one take and then if they like it,

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 1>they just say, don't do that.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 10>But then most of the time they said say that

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 10>again'll do that.

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>A lot of times I used to like and that

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.439
<v Speaker 1>was because also with the dynamic that my group, my

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.959
<v Speaker 1>crew had, we had this fill up kind of space,

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. We got Andre Royal over

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>acting up, we got us having this communication.

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 10>And then we got the young boys. So it was

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 10>always something in it.

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>But but most of the time, like you said, especially

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>because we had to figure out that.

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 10>Be more dialect a lot of times. How was that?

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 3>That was hard? We ain't doing it, I'm saying.

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 4>So it's kind of hard for New Yorkers.

0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>To get the action. But see, I'm from DC, just

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>like the the doug you know, get you know what.

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>DJ Baltimore will pour your neck out if they know

0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you faking it. You can't. You can't drag it too

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 1>long with it. You just gotta do it. Like like

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>even with New York, Like when I did Deduce, I

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.319
<v Speaker 1>had to learn dialogue, you know. I mean we shot that,

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>We shot that in Brooklyn and then we went the

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Silver Cup the Queens, so I shot that whole show.

0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>We was back there. We did it, and it's just

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>like you gotta sit outside of New York to smell

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 1>it air to know what the New York would go

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>through to fill it. You got to get in that

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>into that character. So it's like, damn, it's right here,

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>we hear.

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 10>I want to get stuck with that accent.

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 11>I think that depends on the era of New York,

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 11>Super New York.

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Snoop with Felicia she as years ago. She got that,

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>she got that Baltimore that that is in her. Oh no,

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it's snoop a.

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 10>That y'all would have never understood.

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Nothing like.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 1>This brother come in see it like this?

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, nice like that guy. But that was so many

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Baltimore I was filming out there.

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 4>It was fun.

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 1>That was fun, just like that they got they got

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the food coming off.

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Meth was getting his head braided outside.

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 3>It was just like.

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>They opened you up, but when you messing that money up,

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.040
<v Speaker 1>they'll let you know. Man, y'all y'all got going to block.

<v Speaker 1>to be a whole nother city. I don't even think

0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:00.240

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:03.480

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 1>It was too authentic like that.

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 4>That's not like human resource problem, like more like you.

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Can't get no city like chump city like it was.

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 1>It's just beautiful, like the people, everything about Baltimore, how

0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:23.399
<v Speaker 1>we shot it, the family, it was just a family.

0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:30.399
<v Speaker 1>It's too aumaic, man, What about the extras? Like just was.

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 4>And you can't get.

0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Right there they knew, they knew everything about Baltimore to

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>cut the alleys like you can go like whenever, you know,

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the same when I killed the guy in the alley,

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:51.359
<v Speaker 1>like you had to like clean the alley like ten times.

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I ain't gonna say no name, but one person they

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:55.639
<v Speaker 1>want to for one person, they want to fall in

0:24:55.680 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the alley. Bro, Bro, you got it's down in But

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was a moment I said, we falling

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 1>out is all the time, So it's not. It's the

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.119
<v Speaker 1>difference between us growing up and we from the hood,

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and then you get on the hood show it's like,

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not hard, it's not you know what I mean.

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 1>So it just was a blessing because the show saved

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:24.320
<v Speaker 1>my life. But I don't care. Nobody said, you know,

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Brown one of the top five gangster characters ever to play,

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and that wasn't easy. So I don't care what nobody say,

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Like as much as they think it's easy for us

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to pull like as were from the Inner.

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 2>City or this that, it's not people, it's not easy.

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 8>There's been growing up in the hood and actually being

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 8>a criminal.

<v Speaker 8>The loss with Michael K.

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Williams and pack Yard was tough. I was mad, Hey,

0:29:23.360 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 1>remember when we I was on the balcony in l A.

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 1>They was We was on the phone FaceTime JD Tray

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Mike and I had just talked to Mike to a

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:35.480
<v Speaker 1>before that because he was like some people was looking

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:37.480
<v Speaker 1>for me for a role and he was like, bro

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 1>we down here, you gotta get down here, get out

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 1>of that city, come down. I was like Wow. Then

<v Speaker 1>that don't crushed me.

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 3>It crushed me because that was might always say, Michael K. Williams,

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.680
<v Speaker 3>he was they were doing. Michael K. Williams wasn't an

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 3>industry person he was. He was more so like bro

0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 3>It was just like.

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, I say what I'm saying.

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:26.760
<v Speaker 1>You say they climbed well like the people that served him,

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 1>they slimmed back because because they knew what they was doing,

0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 1>they knew who Mike was, and it was all out

0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:37.920
<v Speaker 1>of bounds and anybody with a heart. That's why when

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 1>they did catch up caught up with him, I didn't

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>feel bad at all. Throw him under the jaz know,

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 1>hustlers gotta feed their family.

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 4>But y'all, slim my.

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:49.200

<v Speaker 3>was COVID right.

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Right, so so so any other under any other circumstances,

0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Mike wanted to put itself on the.

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.600

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to do that and then come right back up. I

<v Speaker 1>the door and study. Man, when I watched when I

0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:17.680

0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:32.440
<v Speaker 1>China came back and we shot the ones and I

0:40:32.600 --> 0:40:34.640

<v Speaker 1>I did in Deduce. So I be getting my little joints.

0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Man. But it's like a period.

0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:44.600
<v Speaker 1>It was it a period, yeah, I had. I had

0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:50.000
<v Speaker 1>like it was a throwback that look that it was

0:40:50.080 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 1>on the musicians and to the music. Music, to the music.

0:40:55.280 --> 0:40:57.399
<v Speaker 1>So it's like you get them, you get them rolls

0:40:57.440 --> 0:40:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and then you then you don't get them rolls. And

0:40:59.880 --> 0:41:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you used to be on the jone like that. Man,

0:41:05.080 --> 0:41:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, bro, they ain't picking. And then I

0:41:07.080 --> 0:41:09.360
<v Speaker 1>get into this and when we left you but baby,

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you're so tall. So even even like Bolwalk Empire, so

0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:21.840
<v Speaker 1>audition for dumb personally. So when Michael Kate found out that,

0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:24.080
<v Speaker 1>he said, Bro, Pistol, why you ain't call me? I said,

0:41:24.080 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get in the surprise, got the role.

0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:30.440
<v Speaker 1>He murdered the role the guy, and I gave him

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a hub for the permit. I said, Bro, you killed that. Joe.

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 1>He was like, man, when I heard you was going

0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 1>out saying I want to get it. I said, Bro,

0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you are dumb person. You gotta get the.

0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 7>Man.

0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:46.439
<v Speaker 4>Somebody that got on told me went out for did.

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he burned that role. So it's like I read

0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:51.480
<v Speaker 1>for stuff all the time, like and I know my

0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:54.600
<v Speaker 1>brothers know we we auditioned daily, you know what I mean.

0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I just had some stuff. My agent shot up mister

0:41:57.120 --> 0:42:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Hodie Robinson rn A management right here in Brooklyn, you

0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. So it's like she sent me

0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:07.759
<v Speaker 1>stuff like and you just gotta keep It's a road.

0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:09.920
<v Speaker 7>It's a road that I need to manifest. Listen to

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.600
<v Speaker 7>this thirteen years in the projects. My mentality is, what, kid,

0:42:13.680 --> 0:42:15.400
<v Speaker 7>you talk a good one, but you don't want it.

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes I wonder it sometimes what you want.

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:24.160
<v Speaker 8>You and J gonna do project?

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, we have it.

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 7>Gave me his blessing me and haven't been talking for

0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 7>two and a half years, and you know the press

0:42:29.760 --> 0:42:31.120
<v Speaker 7>is running with a TMZ and.

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:37.680
<v Speaker 3>And like right now, bro, definitely like we've been talking.

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:43.440
<v Speaker 7>And my thing is this like just studying everything, like

0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:46.799
<v Speaker 7>because the project would have to be about what made

0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:48.799
<v Speaker 7>them speak like this, even if we all got an

0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:52.000
<v Speaker 7>idea of why they recorded these records.

0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Or while they were speaking like that, It got it.

0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:56.520
<v Speaker 7>It has to be the backstory, the mindset of why

0:42:56.560 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 7>these nineteen year old brothers were we're doing this.

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 8>Have you read Prodigy My Infamous Life?

0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:03.640
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm glad that ship should be a movie.

0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:03.919

<v Speaker 7>Just the conversations behind the scenes. It's like, all right,

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:20.200
<v Speaker 7>you know whenever it come into fruition. But I'm gonna

0:44:20.200 --> 0:44:20.959
<v Speaker 7>bring it into fruition.

0:44:21.120 --> 0:44:21.200

<v Speaker 1>Having of course, you gotta go through the whole thing

0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:41.080
<v Speaker 1>for production, because I still think chook Ones is the

0:44:41.520 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 1>best production that that.

0:44:46.320 --> 0:44:51.440

<v Speaker 1>whatever that was, that was great promotion, like and so

0:45:36.440 --> 0:45:38.320
<v Speaker 1>all I knew was like whether Fifth did it on

0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:40.400
<v Speaker 1>his own or they all did together to make that

0:45:40.560 --> 0:45:45.960

<v Speaker 5>Hey, yo, the same phone that you had when you

0:46:57.640 --> 0:46:58.800
<v Speaker 5>was on the couch outside.

0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:02.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm authentic.

0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Burn galaxies over there in my bad but I'm saying

0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:18.560
<v Speaker 1>that's right there. Yeah, that's my right there, because iody

0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:20.320
<v Speaker 1>got it, and I know people forgot to see it.

0:47:20.360 --> 0:47:25.359
<v Speaker 1>I'd be like, what one last question?

0:47:25.440 --> 0:47:27.840
<v Speaker 6>So look that I forgot what season it was, But

0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:30.160
<v Speaker 6>remember when I think it was the male one of

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:32.439
<v Speaker 6>them congressmen. Right, It was like because you'all would stop

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:37.080
<v Speaker 6>selling drugs or whatever. So he had a block designated Hamsterdam.

0:47:39.160 --> 0:47:39.960
<v Speaker 1>When that was shut.

0:47:40.400 --> 0:47:42.640
<v Speaker 6>Were they all people that y'all cast it or y'all

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:44.759
<v Speaker 6>just were they real cra because was that like a

0:47:44.840 --> 0:47:45.200
<v Speaker 6>real thing?

0:47:45.520 --> 0:47:50.120
<v Speaker 7>There was extious but all those people lived there they did.

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:52.080
<v Speaker 5>That block wasn't abandoned, No.

0:47:53.880 --> 0:47:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Baltimore block.

0:47:57.640 --> 0:47:59.520
<v Speaker 10>Like it was like only two people living in like

0:47:59.600 --> 0:48:02.480
<v Speaker 10>the whole that whole block. So it was kind of empty.

0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:09.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know that was the truth. That was true,

0:48:09.120 --> 0:48:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that you really can go right there. That's why I

0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:11.640
<v Speaker 1>said Baltimore is.

0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:19.360
<v Speaker 3>You don't get locked up, you don't get you know nothing,

0:48:19.400 --> 0:48:20.839
<v Speaker 3>You just gotta stay there.

0:48:20.920 --> 0:48:22.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of money. It's a lot of money

0:48:22.680 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 1>in city. Don't go out there, a lot of you know,

0:48:26.120 --> 0:48:27.279
<v Speaker 1>you're good. It's a lot of money.

0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:30.200
<v Speaker 10>And it was control control crime.

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:34.040
<v Speaker 11>My last question, what do people still misunderstand about the

0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:35.560
<v Speaker 11>Wire even after all these years.

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:38.680
<v Speaker 1>That's telling me, you know that that is not a

0:48:38.760 --> 0:48:42.680
<v Speaker 1>black show. That's you know, that's what I think people,

0:48:43.560 --> 0:48:46.160
<v Speaker 1>that's it's an American show. It's about America.

0:48:46.640 --> 0:48:49.080
<v Speaker 3>It's just so happened. We telling the stories of mostly

0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:51.640
<v Speaker 3>black people. But it got layers.

0:48:51.640 --> 0:48:54.560
<v Speaker 1>It's about how the street affects the police, the police

0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:57.560
<v Speaker 1>affect the politicians, politicians, street education.

0:48:57.680 --> 0:48:58.439
<v Speaker 4>So that's what it's about.

0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:05.759
<v Speaker 1>People, corn jobs coming in that show. The Wires taught

0:49:05.800 --> 0:49:07.919
<v Speaker 1>you everything about what you need to know about life.

0:49:07.960 --> 0:49:10.480
<v Speaker 7>And like I keep saying to all other shows that

0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:12.800
<v Speaker 7>you see, and that's why you see cass Front the

0:49:12.800 --> 0:49:14.320
<v Speaker 7>wires sprinkled in all other shows.

0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:15.280
<v Speaker 4>And the retrospect.

0:49:15.680 --> 0:49:18.319
<v Speaker 1>The people appreciate it because I get people all the time,

0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:21.239
<v Speaker 1>like on Cameo when I do my little shoutouts I'm

0:49:21.280 --> 0:49:21.680
<v Speaker 1>watching that.

0:49:21.800 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm watching the show with my husband. He being patient

0:49:25.719 --> 0:49:30.040
<v Speaker 4>with me. But but I don't like all this stuff

0:49:30.120 --> 0:49:33.440
<v Speaker 4>with the politics, and and I gotta hit them with a.

0:49:33.480 --> 0:49:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Solas and I gotta hit them with a soliloquy like no, listen,

0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:40.239
<v Speaker 1>you gotta stay paid be patient with him because the

0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:41.840
<v Speaker 1>writing comes full circle.

0:49:42.200 --> 0:49:44.719
<v Speaker 4>Like I was mad I didn't watch season two at first.

0:49:45.480 --> 0:49:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Right now, I was like everybody else, like with the guys.

0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>And then if I would do it over, I would

0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:53.359
<v Speaker 1>have I would have traded season two for season three.

0:49:53.680 --> 0:49:55.960
<v Speaker 4>I would have bought ma all ow In earlier and

0:49:56.080 --> 0:49:57.320
<v Speaker 4>the Greeks in them later.

0:49:58.480 --> 0:50:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Sorty talent, and definitely we would have raised charlm Maine

0:50:03.880 --> 0:50:07.919
<v Speaker 1>that we would have rightfully deserved at the time, because.

0:50:07.560 --> 0:50:09.920
<v Speaker 4>If you think about it, we went on hiatus.

0:50:10.600 --> 0:50:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, people doing the show got it, never got canceled.

0:50:14.120 --> 0:50:17.280
<v Speaker 4>We got cast five seasons in seven years.

0:50:17.280 --> 0:50:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Six years year and then they just all the different

0:50:20.520 --> 0:50:23.040
<v Speaker 1>characters started coming and the show just went crazy.

0:50:23.239 --> 0:50:23.920
<v Speaker 4>But you got it.

0:50:24.000 --> 0:50:25.920
<v Speaker 1>It was something that was ahead of its time. So

0:50:26.000 --> 0:50:29.000
<v Speaker 1>when when David and them was pinning it, they was like, no,

0:50:29.200 --> 0:50:31.840
<v Speaker 1>this is the sequence. I know he probably knew it. Yo,

0:50:32.040 --> 0:50:35.759
<v Speaker 1>he ain't not gonna like this, but you know it'll

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:36.279
<v Speaker 1>come forth.

0:50:36.920 --> 0:50:38.480
<v Speaker 3>It was the reason why.

0:50:40.280 --> 0:50:40.520
<v Speaker 1>That was.

0:50:43.520 --> 0:50:46.239
<v Speaker 4>My my favorite season is one and four.

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:46.879
<v Speaker 1>One and four.

0:50:48.120 --> 0:50:49.600
<v Speaker 3>One and four was the beginning for it was the

0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:52.160
<v Speaker 3>education the young Mac.

0:50:52.640 --> 0:50:58.080
<v Speaker 1>That's one and four. Show you what your kids was

0:50:58.160 --> 0:51:00.400
<v Speaker 1>doing while you was doing what you was doing. What

0:51:00.920 --> 0:51:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, that's what that's what we

0:51:02.520 --> 0:51:04.800
<v Speaker 1>need and like each Now I gotta plug my We

0:51:04.920 --> 0:51:07.520
<v Speaker 1>got a nonprofit Hugs not slugs. Yeah, and I'm gonna

0:51:07.520 --> 0:51:08.920
<v Speaker 1>have to get my brothers to come through where we

0:51:09.040 --> 0:51:11.239
<v Speaker 1>go to schools and talk to the kids. A lot

0:51:11.280 --> 0:51:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of kids not getting hugs at home. They're only getting

0:51:13.640 --> 0:51:16.799
<v Speaker 1>slugs when they walk out their building. As a little kid,

0:51:16.880 --> 0:51:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I was going to school and they had a dead

0:51:18.640 --> 0:51:21.960
<v Speaker 1>body by the trash can, still raining on the guy

0:51:22.040 --> 0:51:24.840
<v Speaker 1>and then they finally put a top top on the

0:51:24.920 --> 0:51:27.239
<v Speaker 1>middle and he's still there when we came out at

0:51:27.280 --> 0:51:30.879

0:51:34.560 --> 0:51:36.880
<v Speaker 1>not slugs, and we gotta teach these kids, you know

0:51:36.920 --> 0:51:38.160
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. They gotta know you know what I mean.

0:51:38.200 --> 0:51:39.879
<v Speaker 1>They ain't getting no hugs at home. They don't even

0:51:39.920 --> 0:51:43.520
