[The Wire] 409: Know Your Place, with Big Wos Lambre

“Eminem was speaking directly to Roseanne whites.” -Big Wos

On this week’s episode, Blue Bloods watcher and writer from The Ringer, Wosny “Big Wos” Lambre joins Matt & Vince to talk about The Wire season four episode nine, “Know Your Place.”

The title of the episode could be a reference to a few of the storylines in this episode. It could be about Kima, who knows her place is in the shit with the other degenerate detectives, and not at the dinner party with her ex and a bunch of stiffs who are capable of passing the bar. Or, it could be about the pilot program kids who Bunny takes to Ruth’s Chris, where they immediately feel out of place, don’t want to give up their jackets, then ask for McDonalds on the way home. Or, maybe it’s a nod to Herc’s dumbass. He’s fucking up multiple lives at once in this episode. Someone should tell him to know that his place is not in a police station His place is in his cousin Vinny Chase’s Entourage. Shout out to Dominic Lombardozzi, who Wos points out is the go-to actor when you need a guy to play a ding dong who is going to fuck up something important in the next scene. 

Tell us what you would get if Bunny Colvin took you to Ruth’s Chris in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.
