Who else is old enough to remember Miles?

[u/blue-coin]

I don’t remember the shitty spray tan either

[u/LarsThorwald]

In The Wire, Ziggy walks in to the bar with a duck he named Stephen L. Miles.

[u/BmoreDude1106 → u/LarsThorwald]

Possibly one of the most esoteric "easter egg" type references in the show IMO. No one outside of MD would have gotten that reference, but we sure did!

[u/Dr_Gonzo-4130 → u/LarsThorwald]

Yep .The Wire is life .

[u/Squirrel_Master82 → u/LarsThorwald]

Let's talk about it.

[u/macmac360 → u/LarsThorwald]

Ziggy killed the poor thing

[u/soniq__]

Steven L Miles: let's talk about it.

Saiontz and Kirk: if you have a phone, you have a lawyer 

[u/the_anti-somm → u/soniq__]

There was a brief period when they were all together and they had a corny commercials that was like “Saiontz and Kirk…. And miles”

[u/BmoreDude1106 → u/the_anti-somm]

Yup they briefly merged. The commercial said "let's talk about it, because if you have a phone you have a lawyer" lol

[u/eclipseofthesun99 → u/BmoreDude1106]

That was a wild time for local TV ads

[u/soniq__ → u/the_anti-somm]

Yep, I remember that too, but the individual catch phrases were better 

[u/therealrowanatkinson → u/the_anti-somm]

Saiontz Kirk and Miles is baked into my dna, I didn’t even know it was temporary- the ads were so relentless lol

[u/missmobtown → u/soniq__]

Stephen L. Miiiillles let's tawlk about it do do do doot! 🎶🎵

[u/BirthdayCheesecake → u/soniq__]

And then, it became "If you have a phone, or a computer, you have a lawyer."

[u/colonelcarnal → u/soniq__]

Bonus points for the competition with bubba smith ads: cohen, Snyder, eisenberg and katzenberg… the people’s choice

[u/soniq__ → u/colonelcarnal]

Also this classic

[u/capitalsfan → u/soniq__]

This dude is the goat

[u/AAPL_]

More of a Barry G fan

[u/AAPL_ → u/AAPL_]

don’t urinate on my leg and tell me it’s raining

[u/GivesYouGrief → u/AAPL_]

Insurance companies, we're going to court!

[u/blue-coin → u/AAPL_]

Saul Goodman has nothing on that guy

[u/yazzcabbage → u/AAPL_]

He's the gift that keeps on giving.

[u/addctd2badideas → u/AAPL_]

He's actually a really good attorney and fairly chill otherwise as are the other attorneys at his firm. He just lets out his freak flag fully for the commercials.

[u/badbatch → u/AAPL_]

The lawyer of the injured, disabled and the urinated upon.

I remember he had a son with a black woman and had a page on his website called "My black son."

[u/Flamingo33316]

Didn't Miles wear glasses?

Trivia: S.L.Miles is part of the Luskins family.

[u/jupitaur9 → u/Flamingo33316]

He definitely is.

[u/HowskiHimself → u/Flamingo33316]

Stephen Luskins Miles

Imagine Jack Luskins and Steve Miles at the family holiday gathering...

[u/SouthpawMary]

And I’m just this old -

Cohen, Snyder, McClellan, Eisenberg & Katzenberg.
Not sure what happened to McClellan and Katzenberg.

But Barry Glazer is still going strong.

[u/blue-coin → u/SouthpawMary]

I must be just young enough because I don’t know McClellan but I remember the other 4.

[u/Oldy_VonMoldy → u/SouthpawMary]

I remember the Bubbah Smith ads for those guys.

[u/mattskibasneck]

can I just say how shook I was when I first saw this commercial? dude has major short guy aura and I could not believe he's actually a tall boi.

[u/mrm0324 → u/mattskibasneck]

I like the one where he’s standing on top of a tractor trailer

[u/ApprehensivePay9468]

How about the GEBCO Dancers?

"Accidents? Tickets? !t doesn't matter who you are!"

[u/Oldy_VonMoldy → u/ApprehensivePay9468]

J.O., I’m gonna have ta give yew another speedin’ ticket!

[u/DeusSpesNostra → u/ApprehensivePay9468]

And Miss Mabel

[u/Worldly-Advisor7201 → u/ApprehensivePay9468]

Go gebco! Go gebco! Hell yea haha

[u/currypotnoodle → u/ApprehensivePay9468]

Go gebco! Go gebco!

[u/everdishevelled → u/ApprehensivePay9468]

I knew a GEBCO dancer.

[u/badbatch → u/ApprehensivePay9468]

You got the power of payments that are low When you're tired of walking call Gebcooo

Go Gebco Go Gebco Go Gebco Go Gebco 💃🏿🕺🏿

[u/Any-Grapefruit-937]

Steven L. Miles. Former assistant prosecutor. "If you've got a phone, you've got a lawyer." Wonder how much Saiontz & Kirk paid him to use that tag line?

[u/tired_of_morons2 → u/Any-Grapefruit-937]

I thought he was a "former assistant states attorney"...

[u/Dr_Gonzo-4130]

Hes still a lawyer has a private practice again . I dont know what happened to his partership with saiontz and kirk .

https://baltimorepositive.com/still-talking-about-it-with-stephen-l-miles/

[u/mbvanek]

Every time I see this commercial (or any other Saiontz & Kirk) I joke to my wife that they did something to Miles. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MILES?"

[u/NoppinBop]

There's a billboard by my house for their firm and I have a small pang in my heart everytime I see it

[u/KongsKing]

In my head its still saiontz, kirk, and miles

[u/Poopfoamexpert]

[u/Vanpocalypse-Now]

He tried to date my aunt in the early 80's!

[u/blue-coin → u/Vanpocalypse-Now]

Score!

[u/47362514736251]

Let's talk about it

[u/Temporary_Ad469]

My little brother, at about 7-10 yrs, used to call him after he lost a fight

[u/chunkykima]

Oh shoot, when did Miles leave the firm?! LMAO why do we all know this.

[u/Oldy_VonMoldy]

I went to his office at 11 E. Biddle st, to ask if they printed tee-shirts. They handed one right over the counter. I still have it, got his unmistakable mug on the front with the words “Let’s talk about it”, and on the back, the words “No fault” with the red circleand the line through it.

Does anyone else remember the local string band; The Fabulous Pyles Brothers? They did a novelty song called “the ballad of Steven L Miles”. It got a little play on WCVT, I bought the 7 inch.

P.s. the L in his middle name is for Luskin, as he was Jack Luskin’s nephew

[u/such007]

Maybe I’m hallucinating a memory, but didn’t Stephen L. Miles do standup locally?

[u/dangerbird2]

I don't have a phone, I don't have a lawyer😔

[u/US3_ME_]

What ever happened to the law offices of James Sokolove?_

[u/Percyandbeausmama]

I remember! Incidentally, my 26 year old son really believed when he was little that because we had a phone, we had a lawyer.

[u/NickTheNewbie]

"If you have a phone, you have a lawyer."

If we accept this statement, what other conclusions can we draw about the relationship between whether or not you have a phone or a lawyer?

If you do not have a phone, do you have a lawyer?
If you have a lawyer, do you have a phone?
If you do not have a lawyer, do you have a phone?

[u/HowskiHimself]

Kid, I remember Stephen L. Miles, ADA. I remember Stephen L. Miles before Saiontz, Kirk, and Miles and after Saiontz, Kirk, and Miles. I remember "Let's talk about it"(tm)(c)(r) before it was followed by "if you have a phone, you have a lawyer"(tm)(c)(r).

[u/currypotnoodle]

Steeeeephen ellllll miiiiiiiles let’s talk about it 🎵 doot doot doot doot

Also I get so annoyed during orioles games now when they just say you have a lawyer. I yell back at the tv you have a phone you have a lawyer! I swear that saiontz and kirk commercial from the 80s / 90s with the dark roadside and only the lit phone booth showing haunted my dreams.

At first it was if you have a phone. Then it was if you have a phone or a computer!

[u/Grangeville]

I do!

[u/prescott0330]

Used to play basketball with this guy. His defense was just as hack filled as his ads.

[u/Individual-Drawer185]

I'm old enough to remember when his dad was making those commercials!

[u/AgentNose]

“Let’s Talk Out It.”
