When i forget what's the characters name when he's hiding away because he's about to be taken out. I think it's a real jackie son. Oh remember when. He's playing chess against his daughter. Oh my god. Here's michael kenneth williams. Yeah michael kenneth. Williams is the daughter's father so it was like omar escaped to the sopranos. What the hell that's crazy. It's a crossover but you know. I mean fifty four years old man too young. He had maybe thirty. Maybe even forty more years of acting in him and sometimes you see a lot with these actors that they don't break out as leading men sometimes until they're in their late forties or fifties. Look at bryan cranston. Right was until he was fifty two years old that he became data on a sitcom exactly. Yes so they were potential there for him to to find some more great roles to give us more conic performances and it's a tragedy man but he is someone who will be immortalized through the work. He did onscreen. I'm we will always continue to talk about him on this podcast because he's easterly one of the goats Let's move onto the next door here. We have our first look speaking about goats. neil from the he's back. I look at the matrix for first images. It was like a teaser trailer with split-second images of things happening in the world of the matrix. I have no idea what this movie is going to be. However that final shot of neo walking through a crowd cameras back long hair. Get the shot of him looking at him. he's he's cut up looks. Don't ready for radio fucking dumb. It does. I can't wh- no i can't i can't wait to rewatch the matrixes good. I didn't realize how good to someone's wasn't those movies like now they're like you look back at least myself because i was never into movies like that. We're like you look back and actually watch the movie. It looks like an insane. What's great about these images is that it feels like that old movie but it has been updated similar to blade runner. Twenty forty nine same universe high resolution played on uh flex. Now i saw what twenty forty nine not a regular. One hopefully doesn't have that narration. Yeah i was actually wondering what cut it was. I saw quickly. I'm like it was like ten o'clock and again the bladerunner right now. Ten o'clock that's a seven fifteen movie. Yeah i thought about it but I watch on catch the ten in tempe really terrible over the last fall. I couldn't stop watching. I always like what a movie. Yeah yeah like i am excited to revisit this world because it is such a as remember those days meant matrix took over the the world. Oh yeah dude. Just the impact references. I'm sure like if it was came out today. Like just the memes that would have came from that or like the cultural impact would have been would have had like social media was around it kind of had that feel like where it was something that everyone knew about or talked about during those.

"This doesn't have to be something you do for a season and then cancel you can have real successor and the wire is a show. That's often remembered as a show that wasn't as acclaimed. It was acclaimed. Now pilots should have been. There's a great bidden parks and rec when they go to the alternate history museum. And it's the wires sweeps the emmys again fifth straight year winning best drama right. That's a show where. I feel like the sopranos just because i feel like the subject matter like the gangster films are just so iconic and like in our just in our culture as american movie audiences like it was such an easier transition than this like a gritty the world that the wire portrays and i think that once the binging probably around like the early two thousand ten's like when that became a thing where people were always trying to find the new show is new. Show what an actual gotta watch and you start looking backwards and like. Oh yeah the wire like this is has all these great reviews and i've heard how good it is not maybe i'll check this out now and i feel like shrieking gave that show like just that extra life that we've seen with so many other shows definitely well before streaming you had the buy box sets the watch box of the wire but in his character in the worthy of it. But yeah new watcher. You're not going to do you talked about how you know you need to the time. The wire was ahead of its time. It was his characters the same kind of really captures what the show was just through one character so many layers in the ability for him to to portrayal those different layers of omar. That's why became so iconic. Because even though he was this very dangerous and intimidating hitman. He had a sensitive side. He had his boyfriend. He had the people that he would confide in his mother He had his own set of of of codes rules that he would abide by so he was very complex. Stick up man. I don't think there's an actor alive that could have played. Omar little better than michael kenneth williams and to the not to the detriment of his career. But you know. He was frustrated by being typecast by only being associate not only but being associated so much with that character. But that's what happens when you're genius right so well right when you when you have an opportunity to really show off and everybody just can't get enough of it. Yeah it's such like from. Obviously i never met him but like just from interviews and interactions with like and the way people talk about him he just seems like a generally good person and someone who deeply cared about his work. Yes i didn't know. The social media presence was like how much she was going to have an impact on everyone posting about this guy. You don't realize how yeah. How many people that. He's made an impact talk about like fat. Joe video up of those like iconic roles konic shows like you don't really might not realize it like when you think walk empire you might think yeah that's Steve but like you realize like oh like some of your other like he's just no matter..

The first episode was about Carjacking in Newark, New Jersey. You interview a minister Reverend Ronald Christian who ran the Christian Love Baptist Church, a church that bordered Newark in Irvington, New Jersey. And this is a church that was really important to you during a difficult period of your life. The episode is dedicated to the memory of this, reverend. So in between the time That you recorded the interview and last November when he actually died. I don't know how much time elapsed but you must have been really shocked. He was found dead on the floor of the church. Does anyone know what happened? His heart just gave out, man. He got tired. You know, this was a man that you know. I've never seen someone gave so much of themselves 100% night and day. He just never stopped. He was always there in the community. If you're familiar with Essex County and particularly Irvington, and you know, certain parts of the oranges and especially Newark, you know that there's a lot of violence that goes on there. A lot of death life is very cheap or no streets. And he was always there. What? What? What do you do for you? You came to him during a difficult part of your life broken. I came through those doors. I was broken. When wasn't This was I would say around the second more like third season of the wire. I was I was the on drugs Basically, keep it up, You know, long story short and, uh I was in jeopardy of destroying everything that I had worked so hard for, and I came in those doors and I met a man who had never even heard of the wire, much less watched it. He was somewhere else. The Bronx preaching at another church when I first went there, and they stopped everything he was doing, ran back to New Jersey just because his his team at the church told him that some, you know, some guy named Omar was in trouble and needed to speak to him and He came in his office and he says, Write your full name down and your email Someone go get you a Bible, man. You could keep that and we're gonna spend the rest of this day and I was like, bet, so I wrote my full name down Michael Kenneth Williams as he's leaving the office. He turns right to so So what You want to be called man? I said, Well, you know, my name is Michael. But you know, I could do, Mike, you know, he said, why anybody saying Oh, my Oh, my in trouble. I was like, Oh, stood that clueless and had nothing to do with Hollywood light or who I was in my job, some human being just basic human being stuff and He and I have been joined at the hip ever since. One of his biggest sayings was I'm gonna love you till you learn to love yourself. And he just He never judged. Never, you know, just nudged, you know, you know, like, you know, if you want to stop this pain, I could help you with this. But until you're ready, man, I'm your brother. He never, you know, I'm not saying he accepted me in my dysfunctional is, um But he loved me in it and It worked. It worked for me. It got me to want to become a grown man to grow up and and and just start back in foolish or at least to make the attempt to start back and foolish. You know, he went from prison guard to prisoner to, Reverend. So I assume there was some kind of like Religious transformation along the way I did and was their religious transformation in your life to that figure into your life at all. Yeah, it was more of a spiritual awakening than anything religious, you know, Uh, that was the first time I actually walked into a church and felt like it's okay. I didn't feel dirty. You know I come from, you know, uh, there's a lot of things in my past something that I did something something that happened to me that you know, because you know a lot of scars. You know, one was, you know the molestations and went on it in my life early on, Um, survivor of that. How old were you? Hand. 12 or 13 12 open there. You know things happen, huh? But, uh, you know, you move on and and I never would go into church. I always felt like you know the the whole. It made me question myself on every level. You know those events happened so early on in my life. And I would go to church with just like You know this secret this weight like You know, I'm dirty. I'm dirty that God is never gonna want me. I'm dirty, you know? You know, And then you know, it mixed that with the whole, you know, Dark skin just became popular. I just had I had a very low self esteem coming up. And I just never felt like God loved me because I was dirty because you know, I was damaged goods for whatever reasons, whatever that means, you know, And I wore that badge very early on in my life, and I didn't Let that that go until I walked into Christian Love Baptist Church. You know, I saw all the other men who who said Yeah, me too. Out loud, You know? Yeah. And it doesn't make you less of a man That doesn't make you dirty, you know? You know how to forgive myself and how to forgive people move on. Got all of that. And Christian love, You know, you know, In our first interview, you talked about how when you were playing Omar. It was hard for you to summon up the kind of power that he had. I mean, he was a stickup man who used to hold up Drug dealers and steal their money. He didn't approve of drugs. He didn't like dealers, so he'd take their money and have no qualms about it. And he was tough enough and brave enough to do it. So you said that you never thought of yourself as having that kind of power. I know, in fact, in fact, the opposite. And so the thought of you playing that role made you laugh, and you even told me that In the first scenes that you played. You couldn't stop laughing because you thought it was so absurd to view to be. Well, Terry. You got somebody with that kind of power. So it was the scene went was walking down the aisle. I think all my come to drop the drugs out the window. He turns his back. I'm like no one in their right mind. Who knows me? I said, it's over that we're going to ruin this character because people are going to go out there you go state That's not real. We know Mike Mike is not that everyone like you know, and so for me to connect You know, uh, you know again, the whole alpha male aspect..

Let's say, acerbic, very acerbic and seemingly humor that humorless even though he's a funny guy he can. He can be a bit edgy, but in any case, let us move on to Uh, this is the latest that this tragic death of Michael K. Williams and I mentioned this yesterday to Congressman King You. You propose this topic this morning about this fentanyl? The problem that we're having. He died of an over heroin overdose. But what's happening is all these drugs that are coming in that now it's including zannex. Cocaine, heroin. They're lacing it with this fentanyl that's coming across the border. Like in a massive quantities these days, and so Michael K. Williams was perhaps the victim of that and somebody else. You right, So I I just thought it was really strange because over the weekend I read that a comedian. His name is Fu Quan Johnson and a few of his friends died from fentanyl laced cocaine. And then a comedian named Kate Quigley is in the hospital for using the same cocaine. And then days later, Michael Kenneth Williams, it says he died from an apparent overdose. They think it's heroin. They see a bag of heroin they thought Maybe it was fentanyl laced or something like that. But we're not really going to know until the toxicology reports come out, but I thought this was crazy. I was like all of a sudden this might be going around New York City. So everybody who you know, I don't know how to say this on the air like everybody. Be careful. Listen, whatever you're buying, I mean, I have somebody in my extended family this summer. Oh, deed and died from that. Oh, I'm so sorry. But the point is this. They don't realize the little bit of fentanyl. Another words of a cop enters a room and breathes in some some fentanyl knocks it around in the dust. He could become very sick, perhaps OD on it. That's right. Strong. It is, is the point, right? Yeah. No, I I just thought that was crazy. And I just hope that everybody is careful. And I think the moral of this is don't do drugs. How about that is the education of the cops open up the trunk of a car. Interested friends, and I think knocked out 32 or three cops. Yeah, I heard that. I heard that. Yes. Yeah, that's how bad it is that the moral is Don't do drugs. Yeah. Don't you drop a few cause lights and, uh, you know, maybe a shot of vodka. That's it. Yeah, maybe inedible or something, right? Yes. Plants are okay. Did you hear me? Plants are okay if it's all natural. It's fine. Anyway. Congressman King giving us the thumbs up. Yeah, Congressman King looks excited. He looks thirsty. All of a sudden? No, I'm just kidding. He doesn't look thirsty. Um So something else I wanted to talk about. That's not entertainment related is that you guys know I'm reporting the news, and I'm writing the news. And I've I've switched my focus from entertainment to news and politics, and I'm just starting to really pay attention to what's going on. Like deeper, I guess, uh, if that makes sense, it makes sense. And can I just tell you this, uh in 2021. It's so I believe it started with Trump the days of inside edition and Access Holly. Wood and even TMZ have come in God. Now, for some reason, everything is politics. Everybody's everybody's engaged, everybody. Everything's turned into politics. I mean from what I'm saying, So it's It's just interesting to me when I'm pulling these stories, and I'm reading these articles..
