I never thought as a grown man I’d be listening to another grown man whisper about The Wire ( sometimes with a cigarette ) ….😂😂😂
On god
@@trentonmalone6058 😂😂😂
I swear 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bruh
And, what a superb channel it is.
Go check out my show SET TRIPPN EPISODE 1 🤷🏾♂️🤣 I guarantee u it only gets better
It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since this show came out and we’re still talking about it and it’s impact on television and popular culture today.
It's crazy how little things have changed, the Wire is still on the bull's eye for how messed up things are
That’s why that line by Avon where he said something along the lines of “Your not hard enough for this here & maybe just maybe not smart enough for the business world” is so on point. & I think it opened stringers eyes & secretly scared him.
You on point 👌🏽💯
It isn't til these analysis videos that I realized Avon's true power levels. If he didn't have a constant awareness and care for the mindstates of everyone around him, and instead had the verbose nature of a Prop Joe, instead of his own usually guarded when not being positive tongue with his perceptions & observations, he probably would've had everyone around him demoralized & broken with his ice cold ability to both read people & verbally toy with or batter them when he felt they'd earned it.
What I tell you about playing them away games?
Avon didn't give a damn about the money Stringer lost, he was about reputation and leadership. I cracked up on that scene when Stringer wanted Slim to kill Clay
@MA-qg5ju Bruh U On To Something 😂🎉😂🎉😮😅😂😂🎉
Always makes me laugh how bad Clay Davis robbed Stringer... the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs 🤣
“We bled that muthf***a” -Clay Davis 🤣💀
Lol
Shheeeet
"He rain-made you"
-Levy, 2004
@@ThugShiTzu Levy seemed genuinely impressed at Clay's ability to implement one of the most classic and well known tools of con artistry on someone most others would've assumed would see it coming a mile away. It was like a child having Santa's existence confirmed on Christmas morning & probably inspired him to create the master of all mousetraps for Marlo to blindly trigger in the unseen future narratives of the Wireverse
If I’m not busy at the moment, I click the link every single time I see an upload from A man’s world podcast. One of the best channels on RUclips
NO BS
Facts
Thanks bro 💯💯
@@AMansWorldPodcast nah thank you king. The wire is my favorite tv show all time. I done learned a lot from these breakdowns
to A Man’s World Podcast:
Remember I'm the one that told you about the similarity between Prop Joe and Clay Davis. The way Clay Davis “apologized for the short con. Then set the mayor up for the long con.” Prop Joe “apologized to Omar for the short con. Then set him up for the long con” at the bar.
I made a argument in college about stringer bell being the dumbest leaders on the wire and the whole class told me I was crazy. I wish I still had their email addresses so I can send them this video. They really believe that a drug enterprise can function like a legit business.
You were absolutely right
It can if drugs are legal and there’s a way for the different sides to out-compete each other legally.
@@rouskeycarpel1436 The Human Element is always the adversary to that!
You were ahead of the wave but stringer plan was totally rational and efficient (reducing murders, creating alliances, making more money) you can't deny it...but the game is the game...he tried tho!
@@fideletamo4292 I think stringer messed up because his goal was always to make enough money and get out of the game. So all his plans lead to him eventually becoming legit and leaving the game. While Avon was going to die in the game and he knew it. That eventually Avon would get caught but that’s the game. I think it could have totally worked running the drug game like a business. The only issue is that when a business gets to big people start to notice also like with any business you hire bad employees it can destroy your business. I think he totally ran the drug game like a business. At first a mom and pop shop hiring only family and close friends. Then the business got to big an you had to hire people with Questionable qualifications.
"There are no bribes".🤣🤣(best ad lib).
You really the Goat of this shit man. Ain’t no one breaking it down like you. Keep grinding
@E Double i second that! im an artist and watching this particular video made me daydream of drawing a huge piece of all the wire characters, the word is inspiration
This my favorite show ever, an absolute masterpiece, and I am *here* for our boys breakdowns. Best in the game.
Big FACTS
Come on
You're so right. When The Wire first premiered, everyone (including me) saw Stringer Bell as this intelligent mastermind who was the true backbone of the Barksdale empire. But today, after repeated watches, the growing consensus is that he was merely a narcissistic failure who was way in over his head yet thought he knew better than everyone around him.
the only person who had Clay Davis on the ropes was Lester Freemon. Everyone else was getting fleeced 😂😂😂😂
Yes! Man, I got addicted to your philosophy and explication of the Wire and how it applies to everyday life. Thinking about it, everybody knows a Stringer Bell. Regardless of background. String lacked integrity. Thank you sir!
I'm learning so much about life from your videos. Thanks you.
The 40 degree day dialogue had me rofl. 🤣🤣🤣
I feel Stringer admired Joe,and in a way he wanted to be Joe one day..the wise unassuming older guy.
Stringer Bell's "40⁰ Day" analogy is legit one of the best analogies of ALL TIME! It's absolutely PERFECT in describing mediocrity!
After the 50⁰ and 60⁰ lines, using the opposite side of the scenario with the line about people "getting their bitch on at 30" just makes it... Mmm... (Chef's kiss)
Basically, his point is: mediocrity is the absolute WORST CASE SCENARIO!
Think about it... If Stringer's crew kills ALL of Omar's crew? That's great, an "80⁰ day" the streets are talking about how badass Stringer's crew is...
If they DON'T kill any of Omar's crew? It seems bad, a "30⁰ day," but the streets are talking how Omar beat the Barksdale (notice, its Barksdale's crew when things are bad for Stinger) crew with some successful caper but they can expect Barksdale to be on the hunt for retaliation...
But, with what happened, the "40⁰ day?" Nothing's really changed, no big story for the streets to fear what Stringer's crew DID or is GOING to do.
People remember the good and they remember the bad... No one remembers the regular
My guy you have a special skill. You breakdown these Wire characters and episodes better than HBO. You’re a beast my guy. Keep this good shit coming
I love this. AMW has some Old Testament hate for String.
Shows how capable Prop Joe was without forcing any hands. Same with Clay to an extent.
That's the most impressive thing about Joe...
Anybody of Joe's caliber is capable when dealing with someone of a vastly inferior street iq like stringer any time he tried it with real street niggas it bit em in his ass ( Avon , Marlo , Omar ) and eventually got him killed
Man as soon as I see you dropped I stop everything I’m doin to hear the wisdom! HIT THE LIKE BUTTON YALL!
We all know a Stringer... Takes a couple CC courses... Thinks they understand it all
Idris played the part so well. The small amount of scenes in the class room opened up alot about his character outside
After season 1 a lot of the Barksdale organizations problems came from the fact that they had incompetent soldiers too
That and not enough soldiers too
If you became a professor I’d never lose focus
Man I BEEEN waiting for another one of these uploads… respect from 🇯🇲 real recognize real
I think a lot of people assumed Stringer was smart because one of the first things he did in the show was give D a pretty smart way of finding out who in the crew was skimming of the top, so we just went with that as part of establishing his identity
String's stupidity was exposed the moment he gave Bay and Little man the greenlight to rob Orlando despite the fact that he knew Orlando was talking to the police. "How the f**k is Orlando gon' front this type of cash!?"
The idea was clever but even then it backfired. There was no snitch in D'Angelo's shop and it just provoked a couple of his people into stealing, reducing the overall efficiency of his operation.
I think Stringer's best moment was the season 2 premiere, where he methodically worked out that his people weren't responsible for the missing dope from the resupply.
This...
Great content. Stringer’s anger is what always made him shortsided. Again very good content. Nice work
This podcast is becoming one of my favorite shows..😄
In the background you have some quotes for Lord Baelish. I would love to see how you break down the way some of the characters from the Wire and Game of throne correlate ie Prop Joe and Little finger and they both died at the hands of their protégé. That would be an interesting topic of discussion.
I was once a pick up artist (not necessarily proud of it lol) but what he described as dark game is right. We called it compliance testing. Start off with small innocuous things, build a compliance and "reward" system, and then slowly but surely escalate.
Why aren't you proud of it?
Dog, I was literally JUST watching a playlist of all your Wire videos when I got the notification
Great start to my weekend lol
I re-watch the wire every so often....about 3-4yrs....I've been feeling overdue and finding your *stellar* 👌🏼 content has given me the last nudge I needed
The editing is on point bro 👏 I'll take anybody money if they giving it away 🤣🤣
They're definitely not friends. String thinks they're business partners, but Prop Joe used Stringer like his queen on the chessboard to take out the other King, Avon. But Avon started using Marlo, in the prison meeting scene, as his queen to go at Prop Joe. By the end of season 5 Avon had the product & the real estate, through Slim Charles.
4:26 good use of Littlefinger, especially since Aiden Gillian plays Carcetti
I’m watching the wire in a whole new light after these videos. Salute 🫡
Good points but somehow I always come back to Marla Daniels quote. “You cannot lose if you don’t play the game”. At the end of the day everyone in the show who played “the game” whether it be politically or criminally, they all lost. Clay Davis facing indictment, Avon going back to jail, Marlo having to retire, Omar getting killed. “You cannot lose if you don’t play the game”.
I agree 1000% Playaboy5!
The creators wanted the story of the Wire to show this... its strictly about the consequences of the game and how you played it .... matters not! At some point you'll have some success and at others youll have to take some L's. The core issue here is no one is exempt from having frailties. Including Stringer.
Your videos are always clear with no room for speculation. Keep it up bruh
Always room for speculation..thats what makes this channel and the show so great!
He was in two worlds yet not fully loyal to one or the other This is the Epicenter of His Failure
in one or the other
I’ve finished all of your videos since I finished the show for the first time 2 weeks ago, and I must say, your work is absolutely amazing. Your ability to recap and decipher these stories while providing so much context and allowing the viewers to also come to their own conclusions is unparalleled. That being said, you have to make a video on Lester Freamon soon! One of, if not the most important, characters to the overarching story line in my opinion (and one of my 3 personal favorite). From the beginning when he wouldn’t say a word, to the point where he is the only one left still going after the dealers, it would be great to see your view on his character and the role he played in the show. Again, love the videos so much, and can’t wait for more in the series. Keep it up!!
Dude done "bill nye'd" the wire! Upvoted immediately!
I've been rewatching The Wire everyday and I'm glad you started this podcast
I don't know your name so I'll call you "The Professor". I watched every season 5 times. You have articulated shit I saw and didn't see. Rewatching the Wire tonight. Darex B1
I would love to see you give your perspective and breakdown of the Major Crimes Unit, in particularly Carver, Daniels, and Prezbo. Shit even Herc.
A true wise person knows the good and bad potential of everyone they allow in they Life. That even goes for spouse and kids. In the end I don't know why didn't the co-op unite to take Marlos crew down. Like even though Chris and snoop was Theroux, they couldn't possibly deal with the numbers of the rest of the city. That part of the story just messed with me for real. Another great analysis big bro for real 💯.
They didn't because they were all shook of violence. Prop Joe had propositions. Stringer was about 'economic theory', and united with Prop to avoid a fight over product or territory against Barksdale's orders.
They didn't have the heart for the streets but the heart for money. Even when Avon went down and his many of his crew went joined forces with the East Side, they still didn't want it with Marlo despite their unified numbers.
Oh....we droppin gems out the blue now?!?!? Great content as always. Indeed!!!!
Ever since I started listening to your analysis of the wire and the game you've yet to contradict yourself not even once. Much love and respect my brother
I remember the first time I watched Stringer give up territory thinking to myself that if Prop Joe cut him out or lost the “good dope” that he would be left with no product AND no territory. Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who recognized the mistake lol. Am I crazy in thinking that in the drug game if your product is weak you should try to acquire more territory while searching for your own connect?
Where you been hiding? Thank you for another great breakdown, have a blessed weekend.
Yo I just subscribed to you after recently finding your videos. You seem like a good dude with your life together (we thank God), but you can't be taking months to out out a video- there's only so many replays I can manage! lol!
On the real, no pressure; your content is amazing as is your intellect and critical mind. Keep doing your thing.
Great breakdown. I was still rooting for Stringer to succeed and transition to a legitimate businessman. From what there was a Baltimore Drug Dealer who went to night school and actually succeeded in going legit.
Great analysis as expected. I look forward to the Hamsterdam analysis bigtime, especially considering how many states are basically turning into Hamsterdams.
Just got hipped to your videos a few weeks ago. You’re my favorite relatively new content creator. Continue doing your thing & providing us with great work!
As usual, this video is brilliant, especially the part showing Stringer's shift from emphasizing territory in the first season to product by the third. Also brilliant is the emphasis on the need for principle. As the Bunk confirmed with Omar, "A man needs a code" otherwise, we will be tossed like reeds in the wind. I do think it is important, however, to point out that Stringer's betrayal of Avon did not begin when Proposition Joe approached Stringer at the funeral. It began with the events that led to the funeral in the first place: Stringer secretly had Avon's nephew murdered.
👌🏽💯💯💯
@@AMansWorldPodcast I wonder was it the rayford brother that shot avon brother in the head and I would like to know more about Dennis woods 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Watching your videos really makes me want a prequel or sequel to the wire 😩
just ...wow man!! This shyt right here is like a whole college course and guess who the teacher. Much props to you big homie and yeah u right about season 1 again its soo many gems and minuet details in there that folks miss. i really hope we get a episode on mcnulty eventually . rewatching season 1 again reminded me of how much of a G he was
Sending my love and respect to you, Man. I'm really enjoying your shows. The Wire is one of the greatest works of art ever produced by a human, and like you said in this broadcast about how you start to view Stringer, the more you watch it the more you seem to be thinking about human beings. It's an incredible work of art. and i love your understanding of it, and how you express it. Take care, Brother, and thank you for making my life a bit better.
Take care, Brother.
This my favorite show. Wouldn’t mind seeing you do power
You just keep on getting better and better...You are now must watch tv for me.
Man I forgot how good season 1 is can’t wait to get off work and start the rewatch
You really are by far the best Wire video maker. Prop Joe over Stringer all day. Two words…Charlie Sollis
Bro another sick analysis, but i wanna flash back for a min- whens the part2 video on chris partlow coming out?
Your analysis is crazy deep and goes way beyond the typical social media theories /discussions about the characters. Especially the bit you did on chris and snoop and marlos whole dynamics.
I feel like the vacants actually represent marlos crew, how theyre empty inside just like the houses, and the way chris takes them into the house while saying calming words to convince his victims 'i got you covered boss' has an entire complex behind it related to his abuse.
Wow!
Man I have been watching your videos for the passed few weeks and I have to give you your due credit. I am really impressed with your your perspective and your ability to express it at such a young age. I believe you're in your early 20s? You're cadence and overall delivery are spot on, encouraging me to lean in a focus. I dont sense any filler and that you choose your words carefully. Not to mention, your thoughts and theories themselves are well constructed. Well done sir.
One side note...
I'm with you on Dr. Thomas Sowell. I absolutely love reading and listening to his theories economics and sometimes general life but I wholeheartedly disagree with his opinion on legalizing drugs as well and am really looking forward to hearing your take.
MY GUY THANKS FOR THE LOB BRO…. Real shit Good lookin- You wear the crown with this Wire shit!
Season 2 Avon saw through him in the jail scenes. Heck... even POOT called on String 'logic'. So much so that funeral home microphone is still bent to this day. 20 Years later with mature eyes, String always needed a #1. Never could he fly solo like Prop.
OMAR- can you fix this JOE. P.J- what's wrong with it. OMAR- RAN OUT OF TIME
Another masterful analysis my friend thank you for your point of view🙏 much appreciated 💯 fyi need that mayor Davis analysis 🙏🙏🙏
Terrific episode. This is the best content breakdown show out there -RUclips or whereever!
You do great break downs of The Wire. I would like to see you do other Top Tv Shows or even movies.
Need more videos on the wire man 😭😭 I done watched all of them. Definitely very amazing content! Keep it up, respect💯
Damn man I’ve seen this show five times and you’re out here making me think of it differently and pointing out all kinds of stuff I missed. You’re an excellent story teller and I can tell you put a lot of effort into it.
Yo this show never gets old
And with your breakdown it’s like watching it all over for the first time
No disrespect but you definitely need to drop content more consistently.You should be dropping at least one video a week if not 2.But I do understand that it takes time to create these analytical masterpieces.And that you have a real life to deal with..But I do know that you have something special here.Keep em coming..
I love his insight on the wire I will continue to listen
The 40 degree day analogy. Classic
Bro, your perspective and breakdown is in a class of its own. Thank you for your content.
Man you're not reading between the lines, you're digging out entire trenches analyzing this show. Your wisdom is a big part of it. But the editing of these videos is perfect. Almost eerie which is a great tone to take for a show with so much evil being portrayed. The characters in the Wire are grimey as fuck and Stringer is amongst them.
Great video again. Honestly I learn something new every time. Excellent.
I think one of the important things about Stringer that goes amiss is that he was good as a second in command, when Avon could keep him in check. But once he had to be number 1, all his flaws got exposed. Think about how he okayed Savino and Wee bey taking the front money from Orlando , and how Avon felt about it. Imagine Avon wasn’t the head of the snake at the time.
Always look forward to these makes me watch certain episodes again to do the knowledge to it differently
Never paid attention to how Prop Joe was playing Stringer until you broke it down.
Bro I've seen multiple of your vids... You break down the show and characters in ways even I haven't... I've I watched the show at least 10. Bout to start it again after the new year. Your words chosen are precise... Great job.
Yo that's why fux with your channel fam your breakdowns be SUPER CRAZY this made people who never seen the wire watch it and now they love it...keep doing what you do fam
Best breakdowns on RUclips! Always a pleasure to tune in when you drop💯
Great Content brother this is like a college course on street logic, human behavior, and life lessons all in one.
Thanks bro, I truly appreciate it 💯
Stringers faults are pride, ego and arrogance. He underestimates people. He doesnt recognize his inadequacies
Brother, I love the way you break the show down. I am going to set some time up to go back and watch every episode from beginning to end.
Just subbed to you the other day & I swear you make me want to watch all the seasons over especially the 1st two but I really liked the fourth season when snoop Chris Marlo and Michael came😌
Man, I love your commentary on The Wire especially on Stringer Bell! I never considered how his misunderstanding of economics and the code of the streets caused him to suffer as a businessman and a gangster. I always thought it was because Avon’s was wilding out that Barksdale and Bell fell. I also thought he took out the wrong Barksdale. It should’ve been Avon not D’Angelo if not them both.
You’re right he should’ve mastered the dope game first before he ventured into politics and legitimate business. Can’t wait to next video and your thoughts on Amsterdam! Lastly, why do you think Joe and the other Eastsiders couldn’t take out Marlo themselves? That would be a great video.
My Philly brotha, I appreciate your wire videos. The most honorable videos about the wire on RUclips. Keep doin your thing bro and keep those wire videos coming. #chessnotcheckers #ifyouknowyouknow
That was so sweet of you. I like you and Chop Shop the most!
💯💯
These weeks be feeling like years. I watch these more than the show. My cousin loved the f*ck out of you before shr died. Your video is the last we watched before she went on respirator and died. So you'll ALWAYS have my love and support. We were gonna watch this show together when she got better. I went crazy, now l can't watch the show. Good news is, I ended up in jail, and used that Levy video when choosing a lawyer. GOOD LOOKING OUT!🙏👍🏾💯💯
The A- he got on his paper was a depiction of his character. He's smart among average people i.e. Bodie, Poot, Shamrock etc, but he's not the smartest and doesn't measure up against the elite tier i.e. Prop Joe, Clay Davis, Avon, Omar, Brother Mazoune etc.
Interesting analysis 😁
Stringer is smarter than Avon. But he is "a man without a country" he is no match for Avon in Avon's world - the streets. That's all.
Avon is not that smart and Clay Davis isn't smart as much as he is extremely slick
Oh and Marlo out-chessed him to. Then again, Marlo out-played all the felons you named and would have out matched Mouzone as well
Not even smart around them…. Poot was right and he wasn’t smart enough to listen ….” Do the chair recognize we gonna look like some punk ass b!tches””
U got me watching the wire and ur videos at the same time! Happy af I found ur channel 💯💯💯
Man I finally found someone dat mastered the game even more than I had even digging deeper I from NEW ORLEANS & u ARTICULATED EVERYTHING PERFECTLY
You are extremely intelligent and I appreciate your Wire videos!
Stringer's game was all about delusions of grandeur. That was his weaknesses.
I been watching this on my TV so I have not made a comment lately but this is one of my favorite podcast 💯 Swartz is dropping jewels every episode and opening eyes to the world around his viewers via "the wire" like the 48 laws of power.
I always thought what you thought in the business sense,,,you transitioned the two worlds perfectly!
I've watched this entire series 5 times before I found your channel and since then I've watched it twice more from a completely different perspective than before thanks to you. Thanks for the added insight and keep doing your thing brother. Peace.
I just came across your videos, like finding a diamond on the ground. Win! Your content is top tier.
On point as always great breakdowns 💯💯💯
