Joe's biggest mistake was trying to "civilise" Marlo, rather than taking him out. If Stringer hadn't have snitched on Avon, Marlo would've been wiped out early on. Cheese just wasn't smart - a weak link as you say, blinded by greed and ego. Prop Joe lasted a long time, his nephew was out quickly.

One of the last things Cheese asked joe before he betrayed him was why he never sold the old/outdated house he lived in. Joe told Cheese it was because it once belonged to his father/grandfather, and he was the first black man in Jackson Square to own a house. It had sentimental value and meant a lot to him. He then said it was something that the new generation doesn’t appreciate anymore. When Cheese got arrested soon after I remember the lawyer telling Mario that he sold the house for 1/3rd of his bail money. The bail was $300,000.

Great video

This comment section clearly overlooked the fact D’Angelo told on Wee-Bay. He was also weak and spoiled. From the first episode we see Stringer doesn’t like him for this exact reason and seems rather pleased to tell him he’s being demoted to the Pit as punishment for his actions. He’s also the reason the cops put an eye on Avon’s operation; before then, they’d been able to move under the radar. He was so used to Avon coming to his rescue and cleaning up his messes, when he’s faced with 10-15 and it seems he can’t get out he snitches on Wee-Bay and some others. Remember, Keema never saw Wee-Bay. He was more trouble than he was worth and ultimately his death was one of the more satisfying ones to me. He’s what would’ve happened to Namond eventually.

What I never understood was why Marlo kept Cheese around after he clipped Joe. If Cheese could betray his own family he would also betray Marlo given the opportunity. Cheese was no Chris or Wee-Bay whom were 100% loyal. Marlo was ruthless to anyone he thought did/would betrayed him (Devonne, Little Kevin). So why did Marlo keep Cheese alive when it was obvious he couldnt be trusted.

Cheese was jealous of his own uncle because he was loyal & a good businessman with various aspirations.

Man I wish a video was made about how Randy Wagstaff got separated from his family especially since it was hinted that cheese was his father.

He sided with other people against cheese his own nephew on 3 different occasions. Plus he trusted Slim Charles more than cheese as well.

Well done, but "why always Boris?'

one reason for me was the fact that Prop Joe always referred to Cheese as his "sister's BOY" Calling him "boy" in front of many other characters (especially given its racial undertones here in the US) would've really rubbed Cheese the wrong way and shown him that he (Cheese) was just another pawn in the chess game, when he wanted to be much more

He was mad about having to pay Joe back for Ziggys whip

Great job covering THE WIRE…

Randy wagstaff was prop Joe nephew as well that's why he had that entrepreneurial spirit like Joe

Marlo was the youngest to make it to the tip, but his empire expired quickly.

People do like Prop Joe but he, like Cheese, was devious & reaped what he sowed. Unlike Cheese, Joe was old school & valued “family”, which became his Achilles Heel.

Here is a great example of the brilliance of The Wire. Joe buys the drugs back at $0.20 on the dollar, yet sells these same stolen drugs back to the co-op for $0.30. However it is very easy to miss this point - you need to have paid attention to both scenes, and in the scene in which he sells the drugs for $0.30, not much attention is given to the price. A lesser show would have really emphasized this discrepancy - they probably would have shown some flashback of Joe buying the drugs at $0.20, then zoomed in on Joe as he announced the price. It would have been dialog like this: "So Joe, how much is it going to cost us to buy back our drugs?" (flashback to Joe buying them at $0.20) Joe (in slow, dramatic fashion as we zoom in on Joe): "$0.30 on the dollar" The show is full of moments like these - watching the show for a 2nd and 3rd time helped me see so many subtle things I missed the first time around.

How about a video speculating why Cheese wasn't in Randy's life?

Prop Joe tried to tame a wild animal. Cheese cheesing is 1+1=2.

By far the best few moments of the whole sopranos show

This is easy because during the series Prop Joe kept looking foolish when it came down to Omar. The final straw had to be when Omar managed to enter the store where Prop Joe and Cheese were and ultimately sold Prop Joe back his own shipment he’d stolen earlier. Cheese wanted to just smoke Omar on the spot but Prop said no, which Omar knew he would say to begin with .This made Prop look super weak to Cheese and he’d had enough. I think up until that point he was out for self but still loyal to his uncle. Reputation is everything in the streets and I can imagine behind the scenes if my uncle kept getting clowned like that in front of everyone how I’d feel. I didn’t feel sorry for Prop because he was peaceful but a snake. He tried to play both ends with Marlo and Omar and got pinched. For the most part I think his entire success was based on trust since nobody had any issues with him for real on all sides until he started feeling like Marlo was trying to take over. He sold Marlo out to Omar and when Marlo found out he started killing Omar’s people with the help of Cheese information. Prop Joes failed tactics is what ultimately sunk the ship and got himself and most of the cast killed off .. domino effect. The Greeks saw the big picture and knew things were getting too loud. They probably thought it was only a matter of time the Feds would be knocking at the door, so why not just let everyone eliminate each other and save them the trouble? They saw Prop had lost control and went with Marlo knowing he to would eventually fall. There are no friends in the drug business and the Greeks proved this. I think in real life the “Greeks” were either Italian or Russian. This was probably used to draw attention away from the real narcos who control Baltimore

Marlo being taken seriously by any of the other characters is the least believable part of the series.

Nephew on his sister side😂

It was greed and also when Joe sided with Hungry Man

Calling him Boris is the funniest

Do you do paid in full also?

Boy always was a disappointment. Classic🤣

Did yall ever notice method man hated slim Charles character in the deuce

HOLY SHIT!! I have seen this show multiple times and never put together that Cheese's was Randy's father.

I never thought to connect Randy and Cheese

as fox/lion joe surely was he underestimated a disgruntled 🧀 and Marlo wanting the Greek connection

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it but Joe's front is a repair shop. He's good at fixing things and getting them working again. Setting up the co-op is him fixing a broken way of doing business.

I wondered if Cheese and Randy Wagstaff were related I never figured Cheese to be Randy's dad though wow

I agree with everything u said. But the truth was that prop joe was untrust worthy too, He set up the card game to get robbed and other shady stuff. Cheese couldnt trust him 100% so setting him up wasnt a huge deal in his mind.

*Please do an analysis on Butchie*

The only thing that separates Prop Joe and Cheese is generations. Other than that they're pretty much the same person. It made sense for Cheese to do what he did. Especially all the times Joe back doored Marlo and we see hear Marlo returning the favor.

Joe said the reason himself in their last conversation: Cheese wasn't privy to the old ways in a way that made them values he held dear, just like the old house the Joe had lived in. Cheese was not loyal to what had been, what had always served.

My man, you’ve made something out of this channel. But now that it’s all built up and shit, I need it yo 😉

It would be very interesting to see a sequel to the wire. Marlo is alive, Avon is alive, Levy is alive, the world wouldn't let rhat happen tho!

I've watched the show start to finish about 4 times and somehow missed that Cheese was Randy's dad until he just said it.

Prop Joe was such a great character

Possibly it’s as simple as Cheese - like The Greek - seeing the tide turning and figured that Marlo would become the king sooner or later. Marlo was not going to be denied. So best side with him.

Marlo was just making sure he don't get robbed and Joe was the plug. Marlo felt some way about paying more for drugs he paid previously. Cheese was just along for the ride

Cheese reminds me of Roy Jones Jr.

Cheese never had the makings of a varsity athlete

I have weird dreams that I'm in the wire or the sopranos world and 1 of the scariest is chris and snoop kneeling me down in a vacant
