Called up my buddy Jonathan Topaz and let him make the case for why everyone should watch The Wire. I'll put it this way, I'm definitely enticed.

Great to catch up with a gem of a man. Everyone should take a listen regardless of their position on The Wire (including apathy). Truly an amazing show. Some would say Biblical.

*Again, forgive the low production value--had some mishaps at the condo yesterday, which has put your host out of power, water, and, most importantly, the Internet. Welcome to real life. I'm coming at you from the Starbucks across the street from my house if you couldn't identify the background blending and espresso-making sounds.
