This weeks episode is special! Join Jermaine Crawford (Dukie), Julito McCullum (Namond) and I (Randy) as we revisit our time on HBO's "The Wire," sharing stories and reflecting on our experiences 18years since the show ended.
📺 We’re diving deep into the behind-the-scenes moments that shaped our time on the show, discussing both the funny and the profound, and exploring how we've grown personally and professionally since then.
🎬 We’re also catching up on our current projects and the challenges and successes we’ve encountered along the way. Expect honest insights and a look ahead at what we’re working on.
👀 Tune in for a live reaction to some memorable clips from our appearances on BET's 106 & Park, a surprise FaceTime chat with Sandi McCree (De’londa Brice), and a nostalgic look at throwback photos that chart our journey from the streets of Baltimore to the broader entertainment industry.
