Advertise on podcast: Pod Yourself A Gun - A Rewatch Podcast

Alison Stevenson, comedian and Thick Strip impresario (comediENNE and impresARIA??) joins the podcast this week to talk about Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" being suddenly cool again, and we mourn the death of Toby Keith, and along with him the George W Bush era, which was maybe an even crappier era than the current one. Holy crap, I just realized George W. Bush was president when I started blogging, I'm circling the freakin' drain over here. We also discuss Peter Thiel financing the "Enhanced Olympics," an Olympics for steroid users which compares PED users to historically oppressed classes. It's a great show!  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

“It feels like watching one of those movies where World War I is over a everyone says, ‘Well let’s not do that again.‘” -Dave Weigel Much like a totalitarian regime, we are rounding up all the journalists. This week, returning guest and politics reporter for Semafor, Dave Weigel, joins Matt & Vince to discuss The Wire season five episode three, “Not For Attribution” Lester is on board with Jimmy’s fake serial killer and pitches a salacious pervert angle to get more attention, as long as he can get resources to take down Marlo. One of the knocks on season five is that after developing into a more honest character, Jimmy is backsliding in a way that doesn’t make sense, but go watch the scene in this episode where He’s having sex on the hood of a car and ask yourself, is that not the Jimmy we know and love? Meanwhile at The Balmer Sun, Alma does the hard work to write a good story, only to see it bumped off the front page, while season five’s other little lying weasel, Scott Templeton collects attaboys for an invented react quote. Let that be a lesson to you. Never work hard. Lie to your bosses. Hump on car hoods. Neither you, nor these characters, will ever face consequences (I assume – haven’t finished the show yet).

I know I just said we were going to start lying but that’s true.

The game is the game, but more importantly, the guys who are from the same place are friends. Are you an Incubus person or a Sublime person?

Come see Matt Lieb and his wife Francesca Fiorentini co-headline the Punch Line Sacramento in Sacramento, CA on March 17th, 7pm. BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!! “We have guns and oil – don’t even trip.” -Mike Isaac Kicking off the final season of Pod Yourself The Wire, Matt & Vince welcome a returning Pod Yourself favorite, tech reporter for the NYT, and author of Super Pumped, Mike Isaac to discuss the premiere of season five of The Wire, “More With Less.” A fitting guest for The Wire’s press-focused season, Mike is here to tell us the news hole is still shrinking, and our new friends at the Baltimore Sun have no idea how good they had it. Buyouts? People were getting paid to stop being reporters? Sounds sick.  As the title of the episode suggests, Baltimore’s paper of record is not the only crumbling vestige of the city’s civil services. The cops are waiting on backpay that may never arrive and literally fighting mad about it. The original Slippin’ Jimmy (McNulty) is back to his boozing, whoring ways and thank god. Sweet Beadie might not deserve all the bullsh*t new old Jimmy is shoveling her way, but as the audience, we’re loving it. Drunk bastard McNulty is the closest this show gets to a face melting guitar solo and Jimmy is already shredding. Can’t wait to see how noodly this guy can get.  Tell us why The Hobbit f*cks in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.  Email us at frotcast@gmail.com; leave us a voicemail at 415-275-0030 Support the Pod: become a patron at patreon.com/Frotcast and get more bonus content than you could ever want.
