[00:00:00]Hey, what's going on good people? It's Dewan and I'm back with another reaction video. Today we are watching The Wire season 4, episode 1. And before we jump this off, I'm going to hit you up with a pound cuz I definitely appreciate y'all staying active in the comments. I appreciate y'all keeping this spoiler-free. And I definitely appreciate y'all hitting that like button as if it's cashing you out some money. All right, I'm not going to waste any more of y'all time. Let's lock in.

[00:00:25]Buckle up and let's get started. The wire. through the wire. Boys of the summer is the name of this episode. And what the hell is she doing with the tools? She about to start building something. About to build a house.

[00:00:50]>> Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:01:08]>> Yeah.

[00:01:09]>> Powder actuated guns justifies itself.

[00:01:11]>> Like gunpowder.

[00:01:17]>> Yeah. It don't matter.

[00:01:18]>> Handles recoil better than the Simpson or the P3500. You understand what I mean by recoil?

[00:01:24]>> Oh, absolutely.

[00:01:25]>> I wish. That's right. [laughter] >> 27 [snorts] caliber. Huh?

[00:01:29]>> That's enough. Any more than that, you'd add to the recoil.

[00:01:31]>> 22 drop plenty of days, man.

[00:01:37]>> Like a pinball. Whip [laughter] your ass up. Break a bone.

[00:02:49]>> Cool. Lester Smooth. Oh, Lester.

[00:02:52]>> Not as proud to be chasing those bark stails.

[00:02:54]>> Not as fierce as we thought. For months now, there hasn't been a body we can go to him.

[00:02:58]>> We thought >> this unit needs good hard targets at least. And we got subpoenas to go out this week as well. Asset investigations.

[00:03:06]>> Okay.

[00:03:06]>> On Marlo Stanfield.

[00:03:07]>> Yeah. Come come talk to me real quick.

[00:03:09]>> All this is from the Barksdale money trail and the B&B office downtown. The truth is those guys have money going everywhere. Political donations, consulting fees.

[00:03:18]>> Mhm. You want to do this now? I wanted to do this a year ago.

[00:03:22]>> And your lieutenant's going to okay this kind of paper?

[00:03:53][laughter] >> Who running?

[00:03:55]>> 25 26% of the vote cuz most of that's out of Royce's base.

[00:07:26]Planned residential towers with wateride retail space and restaurants that grow Baltimore's tax space and help re >> All right. So, it looking like old Cali has an uphill climb cuz you see boy the mayor right here has cameras around him.

[00:07:41]He's speaking in front of them uh building new uh developments or whatnot.

[00:07:48]And Cali is at a nursing home. Not that their votes don't matter, but they often they're falling asleep and they're thinking about tacos or Salisbury steak.

[00:07:56]>> Our city, I want to thank Ed Bowers for his commitment.

[00:08:02][applause] Ed, Mr. Mayor, I want to thank you for making this next stage of redevelopment for Baltimore's harbor a reality. You talk about vision and commitment, Mayor Clarence Royce.

[00:08:39]>> Hold on. I recognize that cat. That [ __ ] that stuff is dead from somewhere. H I can't think of. Of course, he's grown now at this point, but I remember him far from from somewhere or something else. So, if y'all know uh where y'all recognize this cat from right here, y'all drop it in the comments below.

[00:08:59]>> Um, I want to know if I could leave early cuz me and the fellas went to go down to MR for some back to school stuff. Hey, if it wasn't for social promotion, your ass is still being prek.

[00:09:58]Oo. Oo. Little three-timer.

[00:10:02]What it do? What? What it? What it do?

[00:10:06]The reason that they probably haven't found anything as far as bodies and stuff like that, it could be because they are cleaning it up. I don't know.

[00:10:12]My guess. Press and play. Laying them in with the foundation. Little pigeon work.

[00:10:19]Little young Mike Tyson, >> man. [ __ ] like that don't even work in them cartoons.

[00:10:24]>> We ain't in no cartoon.

[00:10:36]>> And that's a homo.

[00:11:26]>> I'm good. I got to go.

[00:11:28]>> Probably used to be his homie right there.

[00:11:29]>> That pigeon wasn't a homer. You know, Homer's got the metal things around their leg. That way you could tell it from the other birds. You know Nemo let me clean out his coop sometimes.

[00:11:36]>> Y know y'all waste your time on the wrong thing. Yeah, what he doing though?

[00:11:40]He probably used to be one of the homies, but you know, he ain't Well, at least he ain't doing with the stuff that they doing right now, so that's cool.

[00:11:47]>> We lost Mr. Parker and Miss BS. Knew she wasn't coming back the way they tore up her classroom.

[00:11:54]>> So, we're sure two in math and four in science.

[00:11:57]>> Yeah. Speaking about teachers and teaching, I'm I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to return to teaching this year my damn self. I'm like really on the fence. I'm not signed under contract with any school right now. I am looking at some and considering, but yeah, right now I don't know what I'm going to do as far as uh teaching. I might walk away for a little while.

[00:12:21]>> All the way on the left.

[00:12:24]>> Is that Press?

[00:12:26]>> All right, I'll be right down.

[00:15:25]>> I know you don't remember me. I don't give a flying about what you think or what your concerns are. I want you to write me out a check for $4,000. Send over a couple of furlow DPW workers to beat the check out of you.

[00:15:44]>> All right. So, he's struggling with his uh numbers right now as y'all can hear.

[00:15:47]I thought that he was going to be, you know, like really in the game, especially after the last uh after the last uh uh season on season three when he had that speech at the end. And it seemed like he was gathering the respect of the people. I wonder what happened.

[00:16:06]>> I wonder how's Marlo like slacked off any bit.

[00:16:11]>> Crazy.

[00:16:11]>> Oh, he a little tipsy.

That's that cat with the with that lazy eye that was getting into it with old cut dog at one point that uh kind of finessed him out of that money. I think that's who it was. Yeah. So don't and don't don't in the comments say that I'm not paying attention. I'm paying attention, but I'm reacting real time. So don't be like, "Oh, you're not paying attention." I'm paying attention. All right. Some of this stuff might get edited out. All right. I know that it wasn't Marlo, so don't even say it. We hear your shooter goes by Le. We were up on your victim's cell phone, too. We >> pulled numbers from that as a consolation prize.

[00:17:29]>> Bunk. I weren't paying attention. Bunk, you're back.

[00:18:17]>> Gone, Marlo. Just say something.

[00:18:18]>> Just do more and take the corner, too.

[00:21:51]>> Hey yo, he went in there, >> man. Them folks deep. Okay, they ain't helping or nothing.

[00:21:58]>> How they perceive you as an educator.

[00:22:01]>> Some of these meetings be some of the most boring meetings that you ever want to go to. A lot of times they be talking about like teaching strate teaching strategies and things like that and you know saying to you know diversify your teaching style you know use technology use groups use stuff like that but sometimes when we're in these meetings they don't do it that way. So they do it like the old school way that they tell us not to do but then they sit there and do it uh how they're not demonstrating what they want us to do. Some of these be meetings be boring, but you do end up with some good folks that do not waste your time. They allow you to have your time to yourself. So, but some of these meetings be some of the most I'm going to doze the hell off meetings that you ever have.

[00:22:48]>> Another hot zone in the classroom is the pencil sharpener.

[00:22:51]>> I had a pencil sharpener in my class once. Antoine Granderson ripped it from the wall and threw it at me. I'd like to know what your lesson plan suggests when >> I tell you what, but the the pencil sharpener, especially back in the days where you go show off your outfit, where you go drop off a little note to uh your young tender or whatnot. So, yeah, the pencil sharpener is where it definitely went down for sure, whether you had your pencil sharpened or not. Sometimes you break it and then go on up there and sharpen it because you want everybody to check out your fit. Uh, check out your new shoes that you rocking. Damn pistol sharpener.

[00:23:29]>> Baltimore Street planning on blowing up the chicken joint. [laughter] That's what I heard.

[00:24:44]>> Yeah, you got away cuz he watched you and he took off running.

[00:24:51]He wasn't trying to be your dog. He wasn't trying to be your friend.

[00:24:54]>> You really think they're going to vote for the white guy?

[00:24:56]>> You come correct. We listen. It's y'all that don't never vote black.

[00:25:00]>> [ __ ] You got my vote anyway.

[00:25:02]>> I don't have your vote, Norman. You're my deputy campaign manager and I don't have your vote.

[00:26:06]>> So, this is me.

[00:26:07]>> This is you. I mean, why is like chairs and stuff got be like on the ground and papers all over the floor? It don't really be like that. They at least stack their chairs and stuff up and they throw trash away.

[00:26:22]>> What's up, man? I got all this from the Koreans today at a discount. School start. I'll be selling for three times that.

[00:26:28]>> Tell you what, let me get them Skittles.

[00:26:31]>> Okay. Get this hustle on. Got the snacks.

[00:26:34]>> Four more weeks. J >> quality time with the wife and kids.

[00:26:40]What? 4 minutes.

[00:27:27]>> What up? You do like I said cuz up the block he ain't never coming back down.

[00:27:33]>> Chris Snoop had to tell that kid that >> just be cool. All right.

[00:27:40]>> Well, you shoot him a funky 20.

[00:27:42]>> Heroes back from the wars.

[00:27:44]>> Those poll numbers have >> 35 you 26. Gray 20.

[00:27:49]>> We haven't moved any more than that. I need to be at 30 in order to win. I need Tony Gray to take a huge bite out of Royce's lead. Huge. Tony's moved what?

[00:27:56]Yeah, he needs to be rounding 25% and headed for 30. And by the way, >> you're planning on working out >> district becomes 64% black.

[00:28:05]>> Mostly, as I recall, to give your ass more white votes over there in the first >> [ __ ] was I thinking?

[00:28:10]>> I've been ahead further than Roy is and lost.

[00:28:12]>> I can't win this.

[00:28:14]>> Well, not that attitude, buddy.

[00:28:16]>> I'm your ride home, man.

[00:28:19]Yeah, >> he's spinning out of control right now.

[00:28:21]>> The man can read a poll.

[00:28:24]Another hidden body.

[00:28:42]Oh, is that uh Hamsterdam? Is that where they uh putting them bodies at? That's what it kind of looks like. It's in Hamsterdam when they putting them bodies.

[00:28:59]Yeah, he ain't feeling good about that at all. He ain't want that on him.

[00:29:06]>> Randy, >> are you there, man?

[00:29:10]And that concludes The Wire season 4, episode 1, [music] Boys of the Summer.

[00:29:18]And I'm guessing the boys of the summer, the the the young crew that [music] they were rolling with, Luki, uh Randy, um I don't know any other kids name, but I'm sure that I'm going to get to know them at this point. Right now, that was like a foundational episode. Wasn't a whole bunch of going a whole bunch of wasn't a whole bunch going on this when it refers to like action. We did have uh them collecting a few bodies. uh Lil Snoop and whoever the other guy that are out here killing them folks and they keep talking about that they don't see [music] uh many bodies but Marlo is collecting them bodies. Uh his crew is definitely collecting them bodies.

[00:29:59]They're just doing it quietly. I think they're putting them up in the uh the hamster Amsterdam uh where they were [music] uh previously doing all of the drug dealers. They're basically vacant uh vacant uh properties and I think that's where they're probably storing all those bodies. So I [music] can see it. some point them going inside and being able to find a whole bunch of bodies there. Um, what else do we have going on right now? We do have big noty Jimmy. Jimmy is shooting straight. He's moving straight. It don't seem like he want to go out and drink with his boy Bunk. He don't want to work any case. He don't want to really be involved. So, he's shooting straight. Uh, operating completely [music] different. Talking about come on home to eat with me. Uh, so yeah. So Jimmy's shooting straight.

[00:30:46]He ain't got a whole bunch going on. Um it seems like some of everybody is split. Perez is taking a job as a as a teacher right now. [music] And I mean I can see him eventually getting good at that and putting together some type of operation uh there because he is good with numbers. Uh he is good developing the system. He's good with technology. So, I can see him thriving uh as a teacher or if he's able to, I can see him working with the crew again at some point. [music] Or else, why is he here? All right. And then we have uh some of the regular Avengers. Uh Ka, we saw her very shortly in the beginning. [music] I wonder if she's still, you know, with dealing with her old lady or she out here uh being like Jimmy uh collecting bodies in a different type of way. And then we got Lester still working the wire. He's still got a cell phone business going on. He said all the cell phones that are out in the streets are some of his. So, this was more so a foundational episode in my opinion. [music] Um, and those episodes are always needed and I'm ready for this thing to start heating up a little bit because y'all did say that season 3 and season [music] 4 is on point. So, I definitely appreciate y'all tuning in. It's your boy Dewan and we are out. Y'all drop in the comments what y'all some of the things that I may have missed. But once again, don't drop no spoilers.
