[The Wire] 311: Middle Ground, with Dave from Dopey

“Live slow and die unfulfilled. That's my motto.” -Dopey Dave

For the penultimate episode of the season, Matt & Vince called in a Day of the Jackal motherfucker, writer, and host of the Dopey Podcast, Dopey Dave to break down The Wire season three, episode eleven, “Middle Ground.”

We say goodbye to West Baltimore’s sexiest drug kingpin and aspiring real estate mogul. Just when Jimmy and the gang think they got Stringer Bell (finally utilizing the titular wire!) it’s actually Brother Mouzzone & Omar, by way of Avon’s betrayal, who remove one B from B&B Enterprises. We’ll miss his hustle grindset, his community college business wisdom, his perfectly manicured goatee, and his (we assume) huge hog most of all. RIP String. Enjoy that grand copy shop in the sky. 

Dry your tears, there’s some fun stuff too. Avon and Slim Charles give Cutty 15k for his boxing gym and it’s always nice to see when the hardened criminals are just friends having fun, talking about athletic equipment and glass foreheads. Even more fun, the introduction of another new porno mag. One of Baltimore’s finest can’t put down his issue of Irish Lasses long enough to help Jimmy find something called a triggerfish machine.
