Summary
This is it. The last episode of the only Sopranos podcast ever made. Load it into a yellow Xterra, push the Nissan out to sea, and set it ablaze for a proper New Jersey Italian Viking funeral. Joining Matt and Vince to discuss “Made In America” and close out the series, the Dennis Eckersly of podcasting, from Defector, David J. Roth.
Where were you when The Sopranos cut o black? Screaming at the TV? Calling your cable company? Remembering 9/11? 11.9 million people watched (there better be just as many people listening to this episode) as Meadow parked, Tony looked up, and Journey implored everyone watching to continue believing. Believe in what exactly? What was David Chase trying to tell us with that song? Considering he chose Don’t Stop Believing just because everyone in the production crew hated it, I think he was trying to say *mouthfarrrrrrt*.
What a sh*thead legend. That’s what a grown-up AJ would do. You don’t like the song at the end of the TV show? You know we’re killing civilians in the Middle East everyday right? And this is how you spend your time? Upset at the song at the end of your favorite TV show? What rough beast yeets towards Bethlehem to be born. As indicated by this final, AJ-centric episode, the world belongs to the AJs now. Be safe and don’t use too many slurp juices on one ape.
It’s been an honor to be a part of such a fun thing that so many people enjoyed. We had a great time making it, and it wouldn’t have been possible without all our guests, cured meats, the decline of the American Empire, classic rock, autotune, HBO, David Beckham, fish and chips, *Borat voice* our wives, Raytheon, New Jersey, George Soros, The Sopranos sound design team, Prozac, track suits, Stevie B, Little Steven, Steve Buscemi, The American Italian Anti-Defamation League, and of course, Stephen Jenkins.

| 1:34.7 | I'm a sopranos podcast where Vince Mancini and I go through every single episode of the sopranos and talk about it. And it's the last one you guys. We did it. We did it. I was just matching your energy there. I don't know if we were doing a thing or not. |
| 1:53.7 | It was the thing I was I was trying to be like, you know, every other episode we did, you know, it's just like, I'm not that. And you know, this time I do sound like that. I sometimes I listen back and I'm like, why am I so doorky? |
| 2:07.7 | But then yeah, anyways, I feel I felt like I don't know. Give some gravity to this one. This is the last one. This is the special pod yourself again. |
| 2:17.7 | It's the very special one. It's a lot. It's we've done 86 episodes. That is something like that or 84. I don't know who's counting. But it's we've done every single episode of the sopranos. And this is the last one. And it's a very special time for us because, you know, I've been asking, I think since day one for five stars in review. |
| 2:39.7 | And you guys have been pretty okay at it. But we didn't reach a thousand. And and fuck all y'all. That's what I want to say. Oh, that's good. All you mother fucking I'm just kidding. No, I really appreciate all the five stars and reviews we have gotten. It is it's been really sweet. And, you know, even though this is the last one. |
| 3:02.7 | This podcast is going to live on. I mean, people who are listening to this right now may have discovered this 100 years later. You know what I mean? And and by now, maybe the person listening to it is like, what are you talking about? You guys are the the biggest podcast in the world. |
| 3:17.7 | And and you're the king. You you're both president. You know what I'm saying? |

| 3:26.7 | I'm talking about how, you know, podcasts like just because it's over doesn't mean people can't listen to it later. |
| 3:32.7 | Yeah, it's true. Yeah, the fee doesn't end. I'm saying it's evergreen and maybe keep paying the host word. |
| 3:38.7 | We could be dead. It'll be here long after we've we've dead. We've dead. So just want to say thank you obviously to all the people who gave five stars in review. |
| 3:51.7 | And also to our big big donors, $100 donor Charlie Penner whose name should be changed to Charlie Penny because that is Italian for penis and he's got the biggest one in the world. |
