Summary

We open season three of Pod Yourself A Gun discussing the season three premiere of The Sopranos. Mr. Ruggiero's Neighborhood, the 27th episode of The Sopranos, originally premiered on March 4, 2001, as the first part of a two-part season premiere, directed by Allen Coulter and written by series creator David Chase.
In the Season Three premiere, Agent Harris and his team concoct an elaborate new plan to wiretap the Soprano home now that Pussy is singing with the fishes instead of for the feds.
This episode is a bit of a meta look at the FBI as they, essentially, watch The Sopranos. Ay, da FBI is just like us! It includes the introduction of a braless tennis instructor from Iceland and a mash-up of The Police and Henry Mancini that, curiously, seems to be the main character of the entire episode. It's full of extremely on-the-nose music throughout.

BADA B STORIES

-The FBI is buggin'
-Patty Parisi is chuggin'
-Tony is thuggin'
-Meadows roommate needs a huggin'
-AJ is shruggin'
-Waterheater is fuggin'… up

TRIVIA

The actor who plays Patsy Parisi teaches math and computer science at a community college now.

"Ruggerio" is a shout out to Angelo Ruggerio, who had his house bugged by the FBI and accidentally brought down the mafia
