The Wire Reunion: HBO "Boys of Summer" Tell All! | Surrounded By Idiots #053
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.
