Parvati Wasatch finally acknowledges the only Sopranos podcast. The piggies have become the slop creators, as Matt, Vince, and producer Brent are eating up listener-submitted voicemails and emails on a special mailbag edition of Pod Yourself a Gun. We answer questions like, which civilian Sopranos character would be the best earner? What’s the most appealing food on the show? and would you eat your wife’s placenta? We get into it on the pod, but I would not only eat my wife’s placenta, I would e...

Once again reminding you to join the Patreon in order to get all the bonus PYAG and Frotcast content you so desperately crave. This is a mini-episode I recorded right before last week's PYAG. Enjoy! Before our recent episode of PYAG I had a phone call with my doctor regarding a weird thing I have where my feet lose circulation when it's cold outside. I'm not dying or anything I don't think, so don't freak out. But Kaiser loves nothing more than to put me on hold and at some point I just hit reco...

Green Grove plastics and tell-tale acrylics. For this very special episode of Pod Yourself A Gun, Matt and Vince are joined by their coolest, handsomest, most shredded guest yet to discuss the Sopranos season four episode eight, Mergers and Acquisitions. Who is this iconic sex-symbol special guest? None other than Los Angeles based comedian from The Reactivaders podcast and producer of PYAG, Brent Flyberg (sono io, stunad). Sort of ironic to have such a universally beloved figure as guest to tal...

The many saints of who gives a sh*t about Newark? LA Comedian Greg Edwards joins Matt and Vince for this week’s edition of Pod Yourself A Gun to talk about The Sopranos season four episode seven, Watching Too Much Television. Greg has known Matt since back in his college sketch comedy days, so we get a good story about Matt’s brother botching his one line as an audience plant. Really makes you wonder who the parents were less proud of in that moment: the son who can't remember one line, or the s...

Tony Soprano is a horse boy on the latest Pod Yourself A Gun. Stavros Halkias from the Cum Town and Pod Don’t Lie podcasts joins Matt and Vince to talk about The Sopranos season four, episode five, Pie-O-My. Before we get too far, if you’re worried about spoilers, maybe don’t listen to this episode just yet. Put it on and leave the room so we can still wet our beaks a little bit, but some future events are mentioned. There — you were warned. If you listen to this episode and hear some stuff you ...

Johnny Sack Loves His Curvy Wife As a teenager, Johnny Sack was often teased by his friends for his attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) stunad might refer to as “chubby” or even “fat.” Then, as he became a made man and started to educate himself on issues such as feminism and how the mafia marginalizes women by portraying a very narrow and very specific standard of beauty (thin, tall, no 90lb moles on their ass), he realized ...

In this house, we believe Columbus was a hero. Put down your stinky cheeses and your cold wines, it’s time to talk about season 4 episode 3 of the Sopranos, Christopher, with Will Menaker from the Chapo Trap House podcast. Will joins Matt and Vince from Clinton Hill Brooklyn, home to Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace. But on this podcast, the only Christopher we acknowledge is Moltisanti. Written by Michael Imperioli, the actor who plays Chrissy, the episode is divisive even among Sopranos ...

How’s it gonna be when Stephen Jenkins sues this podcast?

Amelia Cady joins Matt & Vince to talk about The Sopranos Season four episode two, No Show. Listen to the podcast to hear Amelia describe Matt on Heroin, Stephen Jenkins prancing away from an argument, and how Tony Soprano’s raw animal magnetism drives her desire to exhume Gandolfini’s bo...

It’s no longer the nineties on the latest Pod Yourself a Gun. Matt and Vince are joined by Max Collins of Eve 6 and the @eve6 twitter account, to discuss the first episode of Season 4 of the Sopranos, For All Debts Public and Private. Before getting into the episode, Max and Matt swap stories about their run-ins with Third Eye Blind frontman, and possibly world’s most confident man, Stephen Jenkins. The consensus is Jenkins is abrasive, but mostly a good hang. You could say people are semi-charm...

Tony Soprano finally realizes he’s a mofo in this week’s Pod Yourself A Gun. Matt and Vince are joined by Matt Christman from Chapo Trap House to talk about The Sopranos season 3 episode 12, "Amour Fou." Alternate title: "Suicide by Capo." Jackie Jr. makes a move in an attempt to show he’s got balls big enough to get the respect like Scarface, but he should have stayed in watching Basic Instinct with his bro.

On the latest Pod Yourself A Gun, Gloria throws things, the Russian gets away, and "the poo ass was dog." This week Matt and Vince are thankful for their guest, Jack O’Brien from the Daily Zeitgeist, and season 3 episode 11 of The Sopranos, Pine Barrens. This episode is so good, it’s a cliché to bring it up. As Jack points out during the podcast, saying "Pine Barrens" is your favorite Sopranos episode is like saying Michael Jordan is your favorite basketball player. It’s not a bad choice but com...

Tony’s got a list and he’s checking it twice on a very Sopranos Christmas episode. On this week’s Pod Yourself A Gun, Rachel Fisher, host of the Hollywood Crime Scene podcast, joins Matt and & Vince to talk about The Sopranos season 3 episode 10, "…To Save Us All From Satan’s Power." That Jesus guy - he was the real gangster. He had wisemen wandering all across the desert to bring him frankincense, myrrh, and gold, just for being born. Marone! That’s a good earner. Meanwhile, before the Satr...

AJ Soprano has never seen a gutter but he has seen The Matrix. This week on Pod Yourself A Gun, Samer Kalaf, Managing Editor of Defector Media, joins Matt and Vince to talk about one of their favorite subjects: beautiful little idiot AJ Soprano. Samer sets the bar high for future guests by not only taking notes for episode 3 season 9, "The Telltale Moozadell," but he’s actually seen all of The Sopranos. The episode itself is near perfect (solid B+), and features a young Lady Gaga as one of the g...

Thanksgiving and Jackie Jr are cancelled in the latest Pod Yourself A Gun. Matt and Vince invite comedian Jason Webb to discuss a conveniently-timed Thanksgiving episode of The Sopranos, and Janice invites a narcoleptic Christian with a ponytail to dinner on episode 3 of season 8 - "He Is Risen." The episode reminds us that being in the mob is just as much about petty social slights as it is about doing crimes. There's lots of gossiping, someone gets their feelings hurt over a declined drink inv...

It's a polarizing episode from the gabagoolden age of the Sopranos with enough psychotherapy talk to really piss Vince off. The episode also features Ralphie Cifaretto and Jackie Aprile Jr...

In this episode, Chris gets made and struggles with the increased responsibilities, Tony discover...
