Donnell Rawlings on Being on The Wire | Joe Rogan

But the white website Trace that I don't want to stop this podcast, but I got a pee so bad I did two podcasts in a row so can it talk to Jamie for just two minutes? Lee what is that right? Those is that a pre-roll? Yeah. Yeah, we can yeah words back. I'll be right back I just have to be so bad. I'm mad at you son You got lighter right there, yes Oh Look just know you when you know you LA you say this is this an indicator of sativa There is some extra spice in there, too. There's a little extra like I think it's called butter butter that why it's like wax What yeah, it's a little bit. You can't really tell it to be honest with you That's how white boys set you up Just eat half the ear you'll be okay How many people still come up to you about the wire I know that obviously Chappelle show but you know the funny thing about the people to come up to me why they'd identify By themselves as instant intellects. Yeah, you know I'm saying like people it else though They'll it's almost like your cocky like I knew you on Chappelle a couple other things But you know why I really love you from the wire that was a dope experience Did you ever watch HBO's the corner? I started I started I think I got I feel like it was six episodes and I watched All of it. I was in that okay. I played a heroin addict and that and um a lot of people don't know people their fans If you were a fan of the why you definitely been a fan of the corner because so many of the actors came back Yeah, that's why after I watched the wire I wanted more and more content like that and so I went back and tried to watch it But I just I actually enjoyed rewatching the wire more So I watch I like the show and I was supposed to my character was supposed to build out more but The Baltimore tourism board was upset that Every time someone goes shooting Baltimore, they depicted as a Drug infested pretty much what it is So that's why they went from the if you notice the shift in the writing They went from the towers to the docks like how to find out we get your dogs that's cuz they didn't just want to be in the hood like that, but David Simon he was um He was like yo, I liked you. You know what you did. So they brought me back For the last for the last season I've tried to get Joe to watch it, but it's like it's ten years old now So it's hard to get back into an old show. Yeah, but it's so good So many people love it that way people are like they were like definitely Wire fanatics and when they brought me back to last season I was nervous because HBO the last season of any show in HBO The writers get vindictive and they do nasty shit to the characters like the last season the odds it was dudes getting raped on Oz it wasn't even on odds They was like dude. I'm on Nickelodeon. I'm just trying to get to the bathroom man, but they was right to me I didn't get raped the last season and it was fun. I Got it. I know I got to settle down and and choose it for a run Yeah, get in and it's still at sea you just got to watch it because it's so good His character comes up at like the best time and he's not to spoiler alert it But like the follow the money starts with him and like that's a that's why you know, you're a fan, you know that That my role would have been like if they didn't switch the tone if they would have kept it in the towers My shit was because I was the connection between the streets and the politics I know I could have blown that carry towel and when I first got busted when I was in a room I was trying to I was what Rob the mansion it will tell you Dan. He said what's your name? He I said my name is um Day day. My name is dated but they mostly called me Damien right and then he said my name is Daniel and they mostly called me lieutenant and this is after I had already said how I robbed a whole crib because I thought he was a driver with me and That character should have been off by then but so it was a good opportunity. There's another cool platform It was dope. I can honestly say whatever happens in my career. I was on two shows That'll go down in television history the wires yeah, I
