[The Wire] 301: Time After Time, with David J Roth of Defector

Buy tickets to see me and Jessica Sele at the SF Punchline May 31st at 8pm in San Francisco.

But no one was asking, ‘okay but why a drug war?’” -David J. Roth

The most 38-year-old people alive are back with another thrilling season of rewatching a very good show that began twenty years ago, when we were voting weird old New England Dracula, John Kerry. Transitioning from closer to starter like a reverse John Smoltz, Vince and Matt’s guest for season three episode one of The Wire, “Time After Time” is writer, podcaster, and Defector capo, David J. Roth.

You might notice things are a little different around here. You are, after all, reading this on either a Youtube page or Vince’s substack. After sixteen years, Vince’s former employer told him to kick roxx, but we’re on to bigger and better things. For instance, we weren’t supposed to use swears in our episode descriptions before, but here in the ‘Stack, we can say whatever the hell we want. We’re going to live like damn hell ass kings.

Season three starts kinda slow, as The Wire is wont to do, but we get some characters who will be important moving forward, like everyone’s favorite cop, Bunny Colvin, and prom king politician, Tommy Carcetti. Why is the episode called “Time After Time?” Stop asking questions and leave us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts already, you fuckin’ nerd.
