It's like Hamsterdam in The Wire, but for kids who want to curse.

Full Hour | In today's third hour, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by offering up some quotes from Rand Paul's annual Festivus Report, which analyzes governmental spending, pointing out complete wastes of taxpayer funds. Then, Dom welcomes in regular caller Real Guido, who is an actor by profession, who takes Dom inside a new project he was on that is similar to HBO's The Wire based in Philadelphia, and takes us on set to the Wire itself, where he played a police officer in the very famous Hamsterdam episode.

Recorded on Saturday January 7th 2023 We talk about politics, Ricks thoughts on homelessness, The movies “Roman Holiday “ and “Catch Me

Let's check out a famous City of Man. Let's go to Amsterdam.Amsterdam is the most famous red-light district in the world in the Netherlands, where people can tour and observe prostitutes showing their wares in single stall bedrooms. I've been there. It's very odd, as you have naive tourists walking around as if we were wandering at Costco in the meat section, except in Amsterdam you can make eye contact with the meat while it's still alive. Or perhaps more similar, it's like the cattle judging at the county fair, where the judge pokes at the young heifer and says, "Well, this rump is marbling nicely - this one may get a Reserve Champion ribbon," or "I bet she'll draw a good bid at the auction." The experiment that the Netherlands has done is to permit everything with the underlying goal being that it would reduce crime and drug use overall. This is meant to be merciful, as heroin addicts and sex addicts just need a little outlet, and if allowed they could be productive members of the city and not harm others. Mercy is the goal, and the flip side of mercy is justice. Surely allowing people to let their wild side out for a run around the yard is more merciful than locking up every casual drug user and dirty john. The same merciful motive created wet houses for hopeless alcoholics, or free apartments for chronic homeless. This is intended to be the flip approach to the “War on Drugs” approach, the heavy hammer, which imprisoned a lot of people but may not have actually quelled drug use. However, wide open policies haven't seemed to work either, as the famous Platzspitz experiment in Zurich played out in a very public way. The TV show The Wire has great episodes about this, where a place called "Hamsterdam" is allowed to exist in Baltimore, in an attempt to fix a city overridden by crime and drugs. The show portrays the experiment as a success, but politics in the city disband Hamsterdam because it makes them look like they are promoting the destruction of the city rather than being merciful. Oddly enough, the roping off of an area does allow the majority to live outside of the influence of the chaos of drugs and red-light vice, and done with the understanding that suppressing all vice will lead to an explosion, allows the edge of society to live in sin while families and careerists can pursue their own dreams. In the TV show, a man named Bunny Colvin wants to save Baltimore by creating a vice district:Colvin wondered if there was a way for drugs to be made safe for low level users to take them without facing punishment; comparing the city's drug problems to the illegal public consumption of alcohol, which was circumvented when people began keeping their beer in a paper bag. After the attempted murder of Officer Dozerman, Colvin finally decided that he would independently set up three "free zones" in his district where addicts and dealers were allowed to conduct their business under supervision but without interference. This would move the drug trade into a controlled, uninhabited area to protect the rest of his district.What happens in end is that the vice district is removed and the crime and drugs moves back into the neighborhoods where parents, children, and elderly live. To quote the band, the Offspring, "You gotta keep 'em separated." Mixing the innocent with the fallen must be done with caution. Any caring parent raising a child will try to steer his or her children toward good choices, just as any bird does not build a nest where predators can climb. Taken to a wider level, a city or nation that embraces the disorder of the Prodigal Son and places it at the center will suffer. Las Vegas, and increasingly Nashville, act as the main outlets for American party, like a neverending Saturnalia or Fat Tuesday. Vegas even advertises this in its moniker of Sin City and the motto, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." The message is: come here to sin and get wild. This is the outlet for the Groundhog Day kind of life that people feel, where you get up and go to work and raise kids and do laundry and do it all over again the next morning.The idea of "setting apart" a time or place for letting loose and celebrating pleasure has been with humans for a long time, but the overall governing idea on how a city or group should be formed has been battled about just as long. Plato's Republic is around 2,400 years old, but the Code of Hammurabi is close to 4,000 years old. The Laws of Israel in the first five books of the Bible was written about 3,000 years ago. But that doesn't mean these discussions and ideas were not taking place long before they made it to paper. We are lucky to have the preservation of these arguments, because for some 20,000 to 30,000 years people have been discussing and observing how we should organize our world. Along with those descriptions of law and governing philosophies, we have ample evidence of festival and party weekends that acted as part of the fabric of a culture. Before Mardi Gras and Oktoberfest there was Saturnalia, Kronia, Purim, Chinese New Year, the Festival of Drunkenness (in Egypt), and a thousand other small festivals around harvest and marriages and victory. We still have these today, and even dedicated places where people can go to have their own festival whenever they choose. Las Vegas is a place set apart for rejection and rebellion from the typical rules of society, and most certainly against the idea of a watchful God. If anything, Vegas is modern shrine to the Greek or Roman god of wine, Dionysus (or Bacchus for the Romans). Vegas also worships the gods and goddesses of sex, Eros and Aphrodite (a.k.a. Cupid and Venus), since people go there specifically for nude shows and strippers and red-light action. Much like an altar, the stage at a strip joint presents a ritual gathering place where men offer money, eat, and drink in front of it. Even the dance that strippers do acts like a ritual, since they all do the same things in luring dollars out of pockets. The same can be said for the Sports Book areas where people gather in the dark, around TV screens, and make offerings of money, sacrifices, in the hopes of the sports gods granting a wish. Again, food and drink is present, and the ritual of watching and praying to the screens happens at every table. Vegas is set aside for a kind of ritual pilgrimage for those in rebellion. The idea of drinking, gambling, and partaking of bodily pleasures makes Vegas clearly a place where Holy and Sacred things are not welcome, or not the traditional Holy and Sacred things. There are substitutions which take their place. The reality is that while in Vegas, the holy and sacred things are sports, sex, food, and drink. Once you see the ritual and sacrificial aspects of what happens in Vegas, you see a religion in process. It's difficult to see it as anything but a pilgrimage. When you hear someone say, “I go to Vegas every year,” they have identified their offering of sacrifice (money, brain cells, liver tissue), their veneration of the warm sins (of gluttony, lust, and greed), their place of pilgrimage (Luxor, Excalibur, Treasure Island), their liturgy ritual (repentance by hangover, spa rebirth, poolside libations, slot machine offertory, nude dancing adoration, and communion by all-you-can-eat-buffet with chocolate fountain chaser). It's all there, it just not called “religion” and no overt human sacrifice is raised up to unmask what it really is (except Nevada actually is one of the leading states for human sacrifice to Moloch per capita). There are places set apart for where the party never ends, like Las Vegas or Key West or Bourbon Street. Then there are established weekends for celebration in every town and city, known as festivals and block parties. Both of these set-aside places and events allow people to feast, to let loose, and to reset their moral compass. The letting down of morality for a day or weekend is intended to allow recalibration and grounding of the party-goers greater purpose. By letting the masses off the leash, they get to run wild for a bit before returning to productive and ordered living. The festival weekend mimics the fall and the redemption, which is why it makes sense for every culture and city and town to hold these events. An allowance for rebellion is made, even in the most strict cultures in order for people to see why the norm of order is so valuable. If the celebration doesn't center on alcohol, then it's a feast of some kind. A touch of gluttony is added to the calendars in the form of feast days in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions. One of the greatest paintings of this block party rowdiness was from Pieter Breugel the Elder, known as The Peasant Dance, and while the fashion of the peasants may differ greatly from today's attire, the characters and actions within the painting can be witnessed wherever heavy-duty drinking takes place. Unrestrained dancing and haggard drunken faces own the foreground. There is a couple in the background sneaking into a barn for solitude and a presumable tryst. There are tankards of liquor everywhere. Lust, gluttony, and wrath are present, just like any nightclub today. The unrefined people of the peasant world engage in everything that happens annually today at Coachella among our elite, privileged, and “refined.” Most interesting in the painting are two subtle elements that are shoved aside in favor of the tavern. On the right-hand side of the painting is a blurry picture of the Virgin Mary, tacked on a crooked tree. She is fully ignored by the peasants. In the background, at the center of the painting, is the church, the centerpiece of the town, ignored for the day. The celebration is thought to be the feast of St. George. This feast day is like other days surrounding holy days in our time, like Fat Tuesday as a feast before the Lenten season of fasting, or Halloween before All Saints' Day. There is a season for fasting and for feasting. The Peasant Dance shows a lack of morality, yes, but it also shows the allowance of a sanctioned escape from the ordinary churn of days where the townspeople, whose rituals of work and worship, are dispensed for a time. The idea of having a Liturgical calendar is designed with this in mind, because if all days were fasting, then fasting would lose its meaning as an offering and be mere drudgery. Worse, if all days were feasts, then civilization would collapse. The calendar of the Church did not balance feasts and fasts by accident or dumb luck. It is designed to move with the seasons of life. This reminds me of an old Huey, Dewey, and Louie Christmas special, called “Stuck on Christmas” where the duckling boys think it would be great to have Christmas every day. Getting their wish, they soon discover that after about five days of feasting and toys, they are miserable. Christmas and endless feasting grows into a burden, just like any addiction. The error happens when this feasting is made the center of life. This goes to the core issue of our mental illness outbreak today. The fact that every day can be a feast now is why so many addictions seize lives. Pair this with declining belief in the one true God, and you have a problem that science cannot solve alone. Because there is no longer a concept of “sacred” time and space, all days are flattened into Groundhog Day. The idea of sacred places and things and days is no longer recognized in culture, which leads to a kind of malaise in all the days. We can overeat and get drunk and find a sex partner any day we like. Or we can do some New Age prayer routine, but only in a yoga studio or our living room, because we have no sacred place to go to. After all, “Everything is sacred,” which of course means that nothing is sacred. For replacements, things like Super Bowl Sunday and Fourth of July Parties have overtaken the prominent places of Easter Sunday and All Saints' Day. I think this over often, as it's clear that most Christians put far more preparation into Super Bowl Sunday than Easter. That alone tells you how secularism and the new pagan “holy days” has come to dominate America. There should be a widespread outcry among Catholics to boycott Super Bowl Sunday, because it is literally the new “holy day” where we not only gather in a ritual, but also eat in front of the liturgy presented by the TV. There is so much pagan cult ritual in Super Bowl Sunday, it's hard for me to fathom that it has slipped past every self-proclaimed Christian as “just a social gathering.” Super Bowl Sunday is one of the only set-apart days that Americans share, and it is anything but holy or sacred. If you watched Jennifer Lopez's halftime show in 2020, you will know that you were watching something demonic or perhaps the greatest satirical wake-up call of all time to every Christian in America. In the show, she did an imitation of the three crosses at Calvary using stripper poles, where she was lifted up on a center pole and appeared crucified in the center. What other word could be used for this than demonic, as the entire imagery was the inversion and mockery of Jesus Christ? If you believe that Jesus is God, then what do you make of this image, which took a lot of planning and practice to perfect for a live show? There are no accidents in Hollywood. Few Americans even batted an eye, but I knew then that something was rotten in America. Sometimes an image or a moment jars you awake. You suddenly realize that the nation you thought were living in, is not at all what you imagined. It's like when you get sucked into admiration for a group or company, only to find out after joining that the exterior is just a cheap veneer and the inside is completely rotten. Or when you meet a celebrity and find out he's all too human. America today is like a jack-o-lantern after Halloween, still smiling but rotting and caving inside. When J-Lo was lifted up like Christ, I knew that a threshold had been crossed long ago, but I was only seeing it then. We would all be wise to back away from sports, entertainment, and wealth worship in general, but I have a feeling we won't, since those are the values of the elite. Now that we know how much cheating takes place in professional sports with rampant steroid use and sign stealing and deflating footballs, we know that professional wrestling is every bit as honorable. We know know that the media companies are hell-bent on mocking all things Christian. As far back as 2005, NBC's Committed did a full episode mocking the Eucharist, where in the end, the consecrated host is flushed down the toilet. Wealth and winning and comfort are what we worship, so we have just gone ahead and merged stripper poles and soft porn into our halftime shows. Why not? Let's just stop pretending we aren't living in a Roman orgy. I'd personally like to thank J-Lo for lifting herself up to be the new Christ, because I'd like to think that she was doing it in satire, using stinging ridicule and wit, and subtly yelling at us all to turn off the TV and get right with God. That's the best charitable answer I can give, because if it was anything other than that, we need to pray for Jennifer, who once assured us in “Jenny from the Block,” while she was nearly nude in the video, that she, “Put God first and can't forget to stay real.” J-Lo is a very common specimen of modern Christianity however, which is a quick nod to God while you ignore every single thing He ever said. The crucifixion of Jesus was mimicked using imagery from a strip joint, with an extremely wealthy woman being lifted up, alive and well, claiming the image of Christ on the cross. Moreover, notice that everyone is falling at her feet in worship below her. Yet, this passed by the viewers and we all went back to eating wings and talking football and gossip and getting drunk. Sinead O'Connor's act of tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II brought an outrage, but this was more subtle dig at all things Christian, and there was hardly a bark because everyone who sets aside time for the Super Bowl is, let me say it here first, a modern pagan. There is no other explanation for it, and J-Lo just helped point it out. A good conspiracy could be made that J-Lo was actually calling us to be awakened to our faith, because she was pointing out how far we have fallen. Somehow I doubt it, but if she is ever reborn in the faith, this image will require some explanation.The problem with our new holy days is that there is nothing sacred about football, and Super Bowl Sunday has all the hallmarks of a Roman feast day for Dionysus or Zeus. What happens when the belief in the transcendent Most High God fades is not just that we don't feel guilty, it's that nothing is elevated into sacredness. We remain on the flat earth, never reaching up to God. Rather than being lifted up into sacredness, the reverse happens, and everything falls into the profane, the ordinary. What this leads to is a search for the sacred, because if it's not built into the calendar, into the week, into blessed objects, then the heart must go to seek it. With no restrictions or guidance, the search can go on at any time, any where, and thus what is best reserved for special days of feasting becomes a daily “Stuck on Christmas” that depresses the hell out of people. This falling and rising action of our life stories is built into the Liturgical calendar, and it's even built into the seasons of the plants and animals around us. Fasting, feasting, and ordinary time; suffering, thriving, and holding steady - these are the ups and downs and in-betweens that make a life whole. When the Prodigal Son's errant lifestyle becomes the norm instead of the exception, there is a problem. Escape from real life is not meant to be permanent. Anyone who reads the parable of the Prodigal Son (Lk 15:11-32) knows that his choices are poor and the story resonates with people exactly because we can understand the character arc. The prodigal wild son begins the story whole, but in living in escapism, his version of Christmas every day turns to misery. He falls, and now he's stuck. He threw away the sacred for the profane. Then he is brought to his senses and restored. He surrenders to his Father, and his Father rushes out to greet him with love. The end. Roll credits. Notice that the fall in Act II did not become the final act for the Prodigal Son. Act II is not the happy ending, nor even a place anyone wants to stay. The point of the fall is to stand up again, just as Dante must go all the way down through the bottom of hell to emerge on the mountain of Purgatory, just as any addict must hit a bottom, soft or hard, in order to rise up, and in case you can't see where I'm going, it's why Jesus must go to the cross to be killed in order to be raised and resurrected. This story of falling and rising is not just for us humans. God himself goes through this, which is what makes the story of Jesus so compelling and strange.But why? I mean, isn't that always the question? Why would God have to come to us in order to die and be raised again? I didn't understand this for a long time. It's still difficult sometimes, and I know why cynics make fun of it, but I think it because it's not easy to understand. Of course, it's much easier to belittle the story with a meme like this one. I once thought this was clever. Christianity: The belief that some cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Makes perfect sense.There's so many things in this that are misunderstood, but it is effective at destroying people's faith, especially if the person has spent no time trying to learn the faith and spends no time in prayer. I mean, for goodness sakes, zombies eat people, people do not eat zombies. If this insult can't even get the basics of zombiedom right, it's pretty sad. And for the record: Catholics do not symbolically eat his flesh. We actually eat Jesus. And his glorified and risen body exists in the Real Presence of the Eucharist, under the appearance of bread. Yes, his body, blood, soul, and divinity is in the Eucharist. So please, fix up your insults before posting them. At least get the mystery correct. The Eucharist is everything and I feel sad for you if you don't understand what the word theosis means. Destroying faith is easy. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Most of us had little or no education on faith or religion, or if we did have some, it was sketchy and full of holes. If anything, it was some mashed potatoes of Catholicism, 50 shades of Protestantism, and a glued-and-taped-together Hollywood portrayal of Christians-gone-bad. I was so under-catechized that I couldn't have defended my faith against a light breeze. And that's exactly why my faith blew away like a leaf in the first rustle of wind at an outdoor keg party. When you practice something you don't understand, it's just like doing busy work for no reason. I recall in the Army when a drill sergeant would make soldiers move a pile of rocks from one location to another, for no reason other than to keep us busy and to assert his power. Similarly, I recall doing hundreds and thousands of quadratic equation problems in math that I didn't care about or understand. This is exactly what practicing a religion without understanding it feels like. Doing the Rosary without understanding why is much like moving a pile of rocks from point A to point B and back again, or like doing easy quadratic equations repeatedly. It is pointless. Without knowing how or why it's done, you cannot grasp its purpose, usage, and application to your life. A kid who was told to read a book in Arabic when he can barely speak English would get about as much out doing the Rosary if he has no understanding of prayer and meditation. On the other side, there is understanding without practicing, which is like telling everyone you are in shape and ready for a marathon, and knowing all the details of stretching and training, but when race-day arrives, your gut is hanging over your shorts. You have zero stamina and lung-strength for the race. To understand Christianity, you can't have rules and no understanding, nor can you have understanding with no rules. You must practice the faith to be fit for it, and you must learn the faith to make sense of it. Without faith, prayer, and understanding, of course it seems like nonsense. Without the interior change, it means nothing. And without the rules, it changes nothing. This is the body and soul needing both parts of faith and reason. This is where the leap of faith joins the mouth with the action of the hands. It's not just about rules, and it's not about living without rules. The whole thing is about humility before the one God, and when the change of heart happens, you don't care about the rules or the vices, because everything begins to fall into place and make sense. Even after the change, you still have battles with vice and wrongdoing, but you are eager to remove them from your life. Strict legalism and unbridled lawlessness no longer make sense, because neither can satisfy you. They can actually unite into a single thing called love, and that is the love of God first and foremost. But you have to understand forgiveness first, to know that you are loved, and to understand it, you have to kneel and say it out loud. You have to practice it to keep it, and to practice it, you have to be forever open to it. The change starts with a choice of “being willing to be willing,” to take that first step of asking the Holy Spirit to come and fill your heart with a flicker of light. Without opening up to that, you cannot expect the change to happen. Say yes to being open, and you never know where it will lead. The sandbox and the red-light districts allows you to grow and get lost. What you thought you wanted turned out to be vapid and empty promises, like a cheap knockoff of the real thing. When you stop chasing the cheap things, the base things, you'll know that you were crawling on your belly. But there is a way to think of this that can help make sense of time lost in the alleys. The caterpillar inches furiously on the ground, seeking forage and shelter, seeking something that it cannot possibly realize. And then one day, when it's ready, it begins to transform, and after so much crawling and struggling, it undergoes a radical, difficult transformation, one that must be painful, but that suffering is transforming the caterpillar into a butterfly. And when the cocoon splits open, the new life begins, and what was once a caterpillar chasing things on the ground, is now a miraculous and beautiful being that flies. All of those desires that occupied so much of your time, all the days of being lost, are the formation of your story guided by God, the growing of your soul toward meeting Jesus, and if you let the suffering transform you, you will never be inching on the ground again, you will be aloft with Him.

Hva kan man bruke en minijack til?! Hvor mange byer i Europa starter med HAM-…?! Hva er det egentlig skattepenga våre går til?! Hva kan man lage av en tørketrommel?! Er det noen som vil bytte algoritmer med Geir?

Hunter Mahan and Kevin Van Valkenburg join the show to recap Saturday at the 2022 US Open. We chat about The Country Club, Rahm, Rory, Zalatoris, Fitzpatrick, the rest of the leaderboard, a cathartic Hamsterdam section, and a lot more.

Full Hour | In today's third hour, Guy Ciarrocchi returns to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his decision to run for United States Congress against Mary Gay Scanlon, a congresswoman who has been on the forefront of propagating hyper-progressive policies. First, Guy comments on the issue most important to Pennsylvanians, being the topic of inflation, telling of the negative effects imposed by policies set forth by the Biden administration. Then, Guy and Giordano switch into a conversation centered on education, discussing the decision by Governor Wolf and the Biden administration to close schools, telling of the negative implication of Coronavirus policies on local schools. Then, Giordano and Dan return to a topic they discussed in the first hour, telling of a horrific car crash at a SEPTA station in the Kensington section of the city, with a car killing pedestrians after traveling over 100 mph down city streets. Giordano and Dan discuss the state of Kensington, with Giordano upset that the City has seemingly turned the section into a real-life equivalent of Hamsterdam from the Wire, allowing crime to persist with no regard for those who have to live through it. Giordano tells what needs to be done for things to change, and pontificates why Democrats continue to turn a blind eye to the happenings in Kensington. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Now he is just a handy man. Did you hear about the crossed eye teacher? He couldn't control his pupils. Alright, here is the Dad joke of the week…My girlfriend broke up with me because I stole her wheel chair.  Don't worry! She'll come crawling back! It's now time for the dad joke medley….   What did Tennessee, the same thing Arkansas. What is the biggest pencil in the world? Pennsylvania.  What did Delaware? Her New Jersey.  What country do cows love to visit? Moo Zealand.  What state does the most laundry? Washington.  What is the biggest pan in the world? Japan.  Where do hamsters come from?

After ShowCongratulations you made it to the after show or maybe I should say I'm sorry. This is where I talk about nothing so feel free to skip if you do not want to hear me ramble on. This past week I had a scary and stressful time as a dad. That's right, I took my 16 year old daughter to take her drivers test.  Of course I was worried that she may wreck or that she would do something that would cause her to fail the test, but I may have been more worried about did I do enough to teach her how to drive or to get her ready for the test.  So, right before the test I was doing a crash course on parking. Okay, crash course is a poor choice of words, but I was trying to make sure she was really comfortable parking, but it turns out the test was just a quick loop on the road and didn't really involve any parking, so she passed.  Now she has to pass me much harder test before I let her drive by herself and she also has to be 40.   I want to thank Haley Snow for leaving a 5 star review and I want to thank you for being here. You make this fun.  Don't forget to visit dadjokeking.com and click on the button to tell me your favorite dad joke.  See you next week.

"Assume The Position" VV.AA.: Beyond Hamsterdam: Baltimore Tracks From The Wire (Nonesuch, 2008) Lafayette Gilchrist y otros. El tema aparecía en la banda sonora de The Wire, la fabulosa serie de televisión en la que uno de sus personajes más emblemáticos fue Omar Little, uno de los malos más malos entre los malos que ha dado la televisión. Sirva como un pequeño recuerdo al actor Michael K. Williams.  © Pachi Tapiz, 2021 JazzX5 es un minipodcast de HDO de la Factoría Tomajazz presentado, editado y producido por Pachi Tapiz.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Willy and Jacob give their thoughts on the opening of the episode that sees the mayoral candidates at their respective church services and Carcetti and his family performing some truly atrocious dance moves. The mayoral race, by the way, has some potential last-minute game changers that keep everybody on their toes but the depiction of political smears seem downright quaint in the age of social media and mass-marketed misinformation. And Carcetti ends up winning anyway. We also talk about how Brianna Barksdale and Delonda Brice could go head-to-head in a worst-mom-ever match, now that Wee-Bey's family is getting cut off. The police also decide to play politics and intentionally throw a wrench into the Braddock murder investigation to Kima's dismay. We discuss how Cutty is teaching his students' moms more than just the basic 1 and 2 combos and how it's affecting the learning environment for some of his most promising fighters. We also keep track of Prez's evolution as a character since he's sticking his neck out for Dukie instead of engaging in police brutality like he used to. Bunny, fresh off of his failure with the Hamsterdam experiment, proves himself to be a glutton for punishment and tries out his stoop kid vs. corner kid theory at Tilghman Middle.

Collin Morikawa completes a historic and dominant week by winning the 149th Open Championship. We react, play the over/under major game for Collin, discuss another Louis close call, Spieth's run, Royal St. George's, Rory, Bryson, Hamsterdam, and a lot more.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Mission Accomplished! Well, no, not really. As anybody who lived through the days of the Iraq War in the wake of September 11, that banner that then-president George W. Bush stood victoriously in front of represented anything but a "job well done." And with the end of this season, David Simon, Ed Burns, and co. complete their War on Terror allegory in spectacular fashion. The irony of the "Mission Accomplished" slogan is not lost in the creation of this show as the story is far from being over as there are a whole two more seasons. Willy and Jacob talk about a controversial scene where BunkNulty survey the now-dead Stringer Bell's upscale apartment, how the show pulls off some serious magic by getting us to feel sorry for Avon, what it must be like for people at home watching the news of Hamsterdam's fall, and how this all fares for the rest of the story and the ensuing reign of terror at the hands of the vicious Marlo Stanfield. Take notice of the classic line reading by the great Anwan Glover as Slim Charles about "fighting on that lie" and how it reveals some of the more base impulses of people in powerful leadership positions. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support

The Lords are back after a week long vacation with a returning guest host BC to discuss the shenanigans of Triple OG Needam x episodes 4 & 5 of season 3.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! In this episode, Willy and Jacob talk about how the MCU has to deal with the loss of Prez. There's also quite a bit of discussion about Brother Mouzone's return to Baltimore and using Lamar (the real-life Deandre McCullough) and his "visceral homophobia" to pinpoint Omar's location. The New Day Co-op leadership offers up an ultimatum to Stringer in an effort to reign in Avon and his murderously impulsive behavior. Bunny lets Carver know that he recognizes his talent, but that moving a dead body into another jurisdiction in an effort to stay out of trouble, goes against common sense. Burrell and Rawls get real ticked off when they find out about the whole Hamsterdam fiasco, but Burrell tries to spin it in a positive light while in the mayor's office. Cool Lester Smooth earns his nickname when he goes undercover and effortlessly sets a trap for Bernard and Squeak. Cutty has a soft opening for his gym, but soon faces the harsh reality of having to wrangle a lot of these kids who come from fractured domestic situations. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD Realizing the lifecycle of a typical burner phone, Lester Freamon and Prez know they're going to have to switch up the methods of tracking calls, which sends KimNulty on an expedition across state lines and to many different convenience stores. McNulty hits on Kima despite the fact that she's a lesbian and has just moved back in with her girlfriend. Carver starts to realize the problems of not having any authority figures in Hamsterdam and so forms a brain trust with Colvin to give some of the younger residents important duties. The Deacon does not approve of Bunny's creation but does approve of making an effort to help out Cutty in his quest for stability. Carcetti is starting to realize how to play the political game and that it's not only all about facts. McNulty talks to Brianna about her dead son. Avon tries to trap Marlo, which he responds to with deadly consequences, which in turn leads to Stringer telling Avon the secret of how he was the one that had his nephew's killing arranged in jail. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Omar starts doubting his stances after getting chewed out by Bunk and does the magic trick of making Dozerman's gun reappear. Cutty, instead of mowing down rival gangsters, temporarily puts his heart and soul into mowing down blades of grass in an effort to leave the Barksdale mentality behind for good. Stringer tries to take advantage of the free zones and encourages Bodie to set up shop. McNulty screws over Daniels to get the case focused back on Stringer. Avon is lulled into a false sense of security, thinking that Marlo has retreated away from the war. Bubbles witnesses what a true hellscape Hamsterdam can be and quickly realizes his old friend Johnny might be beyond saving. Carcetti again is up to some shady maneuvering, playing Burell and Royce against each other as he tries to bring attention to the issue of state witnesses getting murdered. Herc, the useful idiot does a double-take when he sees that Avon is free and riding around. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support

Join us for a drink as "The Wire" inspires this week's drink choices and we take a swig in Hamsterdam; crash into Dave Matthews in Chicago; celebrate another New York (Knicks) achievement; and listen to the oldies in St. Pete, Florida Drinks: Schneider Aventinus Wheat-Doppelbock beer from Kelheim, Germany; and Modelo (24oz) pilsner – style beer from Mexico City, Mexico Twitter: @HBP4040 #HBPDrink #HBPets Intro and Outro music: DeCarlo

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Marlo makes it clear that he doesn't want to be a team player, but because of a misunderstanding, Kima and McNulty (KimNulty) believe that he is now the head honcho of the Baltimore drug market, prompting them to urge Daniels to make the case about Stringer again. Jimmy fails to convince people that D'Angelo's death was a homicide, partially out of people's willingness to lighten the workload. Avon doesn't want any part of Stringer's new business ventures to interfere with his priority of killing people that are making him angry. But over time we learn that Stringer is kind of a dummy who is being conned by state senator Clay Davis. Carcetti proves himself to be a shady backstabber as he tells one of his best friends Tony Gray to run for mayor, knowing that it will split the black vote, giving himself a path to vicotry. With some people still not getting the message about the Hamsterdam free zones, Colvin gets some of his troops to make the message a little clearer with some casual brutality. Bunk gets fed up with Omar and gives him a stern lecture. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support

"...we fight on that lie." - Slim CharlesOur Patreon in support of The Ella Thompson Fund - (Charity Supported by The Wire )

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! The long-standing friendship between Johnny and Bubbles starts to get cracks in their foundation as they no longer see eye-to-eye on performing capers that involve robbing contractors who find themselves in unsafe situations, painting buildings on rickety ladders with no supervision. Carcetti gets a crash course in how the city treats its' state witnesses. Cutty slaps a girl in his awkward return to Avon's crew. Shamrock doesn't realize that Robert's Rules of Order doesn't apply to the New Day Co-Op's protocol, which results in him getting yelled at by Stringer. McNulty discovers that Stringer is getting into the development business. Marlo refuses the invite to join the co-op and continues to go to war with Avon's crew, while also terrifying some of the knuckleheaded cops as the Hamsterdam process continues to play out with unexpected results. McNulty has sex with Carcetti's future campaign manager, Terry D'Agostino. Bunk is assigned a wild goose chase, looking for Dozerman's gun. Avon is released from prison and Stringer welcomes him home with a waterfront condo and an arranged threesome with two women he's never met before. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegodswillnotsaveyou/support

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! Bunny checks in on the city's attitude towards crime in the neighborhoods when he attends a local town hall, Carcetti approaches Teresa D'Agostino to court her to become his campaign manager, Cutty starts to slip back into Avon's world, and McNulty learns of Stringer's developing plans while taking the heat from Freamon.

Jemele Hill and Van Lathan break down Episode 10 of Season 3 of ‘The Wire’ by diving deep on Bunny Colvin (7:50), analyzing the success of Hamsterdam (23:30), and picking out some of the episode’s best scenes (27:30).

Jemele Hill and Van Lathan get into Episode 4 of the third season of ‘The Wire’ to explore the "Hamsterdam" experiment (4:00), the intentions of Howard "Bunny" Colvin (11:45), scenes that stood out (31:00), and more.

During this quarantine season, celebrities have been keeping fans entertained with challenging each other, hit for hit on Instagram live. We’ve seen T-Pain Vs. Lil Jon, Teddy Riley Vs. Babyface, and now may just be the time for some women emcees to enter the ring! Philadelphia emcee, Khia, most notorious for her hit singles, “My Neck My Back,” “K-Wang,” and “Snatch The Cat Back” has called Trina out for a hit for hit battle after a suggestion on her Instagram live. This will be very interesting, lol! Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been fairly quiet since his early release from prison thanks to the coronavirus outbreak -- the rapper announced that he would be hosting his first Instagram Live session this Friday (May 8th.). Tekashi cooperated with the government against Anthony' Harv' Ellison and other Nine Trey members. Last month, the judge ordered Tekashi's release to home confinement earlier this month due to the risk the virus posed to the rapper. He reportedly suffers from asthma. The spread of the coronavirus has taken away many special moments for all of us, including the class of 2020. Those graduating this year are finding unique ways to celebrate their accomplishments, and our Forever President and First Lady have just announced that they have something special for the graduates! Whether you are graduating from high school or college Barack and Michelle Obama want to celebrate all you have accomplished by hosting a virtual graduation ceremony on June 6th! This is what I'm talking about! FOREVER OBAMA!!! The man who penned and produced five glorious seasons The Wire, David Simon is planning on reuniting the cast of his classic gritty crime drama for a new series revolving around Baltimore’s police force. But don’t get your hopes up, it will not be a direct continuation of the city life that introduced us to “Hamsterdam.” We can't WAIT to see what this new drama would be about!! The Illastr8 "HOT TAKE" this week, the crew talked about being patient with your partners lack of funding while dating during this pandemic. Continue to stay safe and stay tuned.

We begin our journey to give Season 1 of the Wire its proper audiovisual due. Get on the email list at hamsterdam.substack.com

It was a long week without football but luckily the XFL is here... and we announce the fan name winners! 

Happy holidays to all of you, and for reasons you will soon hear, our sincere apologies to all of the super hot people in the world.  We recorded a crossover episode with our sister-wife podcast Hamsterdam!  You can check out the Hamsterdam podcast in all the usual places. WARNING: They have frank (and at times irreverent) discussions about The Deuce -- an HBO show about the rise of sex work and pornography in 1970s New York.  If that is a trigger for you, or you want to avoid dark or inappropriate topics in general, this may not be the podcast for you.

Es gibt wieder viel Neues im SPUTNIK Gamecheck: Darunter die neue Nintendo Switch Lite, prügelnde Hamster und ein düsteres Point-&-Click-Adventure für eure Smartphones.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BATMAN! This week we have a full house with Sean, Paul, Greg and Rossko celebrating ten years of Rocksteady's masterpiece, Batman Arkham Asylum. We discuss what the game meant to us and how it's still impacting gaming today. We also go deep on the latest Ion Fury controversy, this time backtracking on their apology regarding offensive content. Have they caved to Steam reviews in pursuit of their creative vision? We also have a long ol' chat about the D23 Expo and its many wonders, particularly the Marvel and Star Wars announcements, get excited by The Rise of Skywalker footage and debate a certain tidbit of news regarding Spider-Man's place in the MCU. You may have heard about it? Either way, we have differing and surprising takes on this news. We also talk hands-on impressions of Erica, Superhot on Switch, Hamsterdam, Pacific Wings and um, Gears POP. Finally, the Finger Guns Trivia Challenge throws up possibly the most melodramatic conclusion in its short history.

San Diego Decides is Voice of San Diego’s elections podcast. Hosts Sara Libby and Ry Rivard break down individual races and ballot measures San Diegans will weigh in on this year, as well bigger issues like the mechanics of voting, state-level drama and more. ♦♦♦ In this week's episode, hosts Sara Libby and Ry Rivard talked about three big races this week: the race for mayor, the race for city attorney and the race for the District 9 City Council seat. Sara and Andrew Keatts interviewed mayoral candidate Ed Harris, and share some excerpts of that conversation. Harris addresses why he decided to get in the race, and what separates him from Mayor Kevin Faulconer even though they seemingly have a lot in common. Next up: the race for city attorney saw some verbal sparring between Rafael Castellanos and Gil Cabrera, as Voice of San Diego’s Andrew Keats wrote about recently. Both candidates have been preparing to run for several years, so they both have a lot invested in winning. A third candidate, Mara Elliott, has not received as much attention or money, but she may have a built-in advantage with her title, “chief deputy city attorney.” The race for City Council's District 9 is also starting to heat up, with three main candidates contending for the position: Ricardo Flores, chief of staff for outgoing Councilwoman Marti Emerald, Georgette Gomez, associate director at the Environmental Health Coalition, and Sarah Saez, program director for the United Taxi Workers. KPBS reporter Megan Burks, who's covered City Heights and surrounding communities for years, stopped by to talk about the unusual dynamics at work in D9. Two neighborhoods separated essentially by just a roadway are actually a world apart: Kensington has a 60-70 percent voter turnout and its median income is about $90K a year. By contrast, City Heights’ voter turnout can be as low as 14 percent, its median income is $21K a year. Crazy Ballot Initiatives Sara plans to highlight a few of the strangest measures vying to make the November ballot in each episode. First up: A measure that would require candidates and lawmakers to take regular lie detector tests, and another that would restrict any speech that has to do with Holocaust denial. Our Favorite Things This Week Sara: Acting as VOSD's pop culture ambassador, Sara selected Rihanna's new album, Anti. Ry: Bruce Lightner, who's running to replace his wife, Sherri Lightner, as the City Council rep for District 1, compared their combined power to one of the great American political dynasties. Asked if he'll get a name-recognition boost, he told the Union-Tribune:  “It won’t be the first time. Look at the Kennedy dynasty.” Megan: A city in New York has created a Hamsterdam to address the heroin epidemic: a part of town where you can use safely and freely. Former KPBS reporter Tarryn Mento pointed out that this is basically "The Wire" come to life.   Show Notes Page  

We're back!  Took a couple weeks off because of the holidays and we figured not that many people would listen, nor did our schedules line up.  But!  Comin' to you live from Hamsterdam we've got a lot of quack. First, we talk about the Oregon football game against the TCU Horned Frogs.  There's the obvious conversation about Trevone Boykin, whom I wrote an article about earlier this week.  Boykin is terrifying and is the player that we all thought Bralon Addison could be in a perfect world where he easily slid into the quarterback position when Vernon Adams went down and he received the golden arm of Johnny Unitas from the god Xerxes. The QB edge goes to TCU but if not for a Vernon Adams injury at the beginning of the year we are looking at a one loss Oregon squad (most likely).  TCU was ravaged by injuries on defense leading to a few very misleading scores and Trevone Boykin was absent a couple close wins.   The Alamo Bowl and Texas have a thing for tragic heroes.  People that could have accomplished greatness if not for a few things outside of their control.  Oregon does it too.  For years we were talking about who would be the next Dennis Dixon.  Both of these teams are tragically heroic teams.  If not for injuries both of these teams would (most likely) be in the playoffs.  This is one of the top five bowl games, and that's including the playoffs.

Take that, McNulty!

The guys battled Skype and CallRecorder, got bedazzled by The Smashing Pumpkins, got a twitter buzz from Beyonce's album, and got lathered up with FDA's focus on antibacterial soaps. They then shared some additional information they received from Cheryl Doom from the American Spice Trade Association (ASTA) on the spice story in FST 52. Cheryl explained why ASTA didn't have a response to the FDA risk assessment as reported in this NYT article and shared a guidance document ASTA had prepared in 2011. The discussion then turned to yet another pruno-related botulism outbreak in a Utah prison. Pruno has been discussed in FST 27 and the investigation of that outbreak has just been published in this paper, including the experimental Pruno recipe. In the IAFP History segment, Don shared Manan Sharma's article on the 1970's, which marked changes to food consumption, food safety and environmental trends, including HACCP and microwaves. After a short 1970's detour to Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus Vol 1, Ben marveled about the advances in microwave technology, including the magnetron. While Ben's new microwave exceeded his cooking expectation, Trader Joe's cooking instructions for Mac & Cheese fell short. In contrast to Trader Joe's, who don't have a social media presence, Don did like Publix who asked for a haiku on Twitter. Don then shared his latest irritation with Fightbac.org. It was prompted by their latest campaign called Bac Down and the misinformation that Listeria monocytogenes can grow at temperatures as low 32 deg F and not 40 deg F. The guys challenged listeners to send in their creative Bac-themed puns for great prices! Ben then wanted to talk about meat in pants, or more specifically Jeffery Arthur Feehan who tried to shoplift meat in his pants. But Ben wasn't quite so worried simply because store employees put the meat back on the shelf (a big yuck factor!), but that Jeffrey took the meat to the restroom for his pants stuffing misdemeanor. Jeffrey's comment to the judges reminded Ben of a famous Animal House quote. The discussion then turned to a recent paper on Raw Milk Consumption. While the underreporting aspect got some publicity, Ben was worried that all the information wasn't going to change people's mind. This had been highlighted in this article on Michigan consumers of raw milk and that's got to do with raw milk proponents not trusting health officials. Ben then remembered the "The Abuela project", an example of an innovative approach to overcoming the difficulty of developing successful education campaigns. The challenge of course is how to develop a campaign when raw milk sales are illegal (as is the case in some states). Maybe a Raw Milk Hamsterdam is the solution?
