Well, hello, you filthy animals, and welcome to another episode of the Working Perspectives Podcast Presents, We're Doing Tier List. I don't know what else to call it. Either way, got a great show tonight. It's episode 592
And tonight we'll be doing a tier list of the best Sopranos characters. That's it. We're finally doing it. We got the tier list. We're going from A to F, or S to F, the best Sopranos characters. And before that, we're going to read off some comments. I'm Matt Lavelle. He's Liam Lishmiglay-Rees, aka The Picklebar. That's Jalen Dubb, The Prince of Dubb.
And the cocksmoking personality, Burn Potkasey is here also. Wow.

**Justin Richardson** (0:47)
Cocksmoking personality.

**Matt Lavelle** (0:49)
To be a personality is a job.

**Justin Richardson** (0:51)
No big deal.

**Liam Lishmiglay-Rees** (0:52)
Cocksmoking personality.

**Justin Richardson** (0:54)
What's that? What's that? What's that? What does it pay?

**Jalen Dubb** (0:57)
What does it pay?

**Matt Lavelle** (0:59)
You don't know, big man. You can't afford it. Play the theme song.
All right, we got some comments. Justin, do you have anything to say?

**Justin Richardson** (2:08)
There is a country music artist from the 70s. I don't know the guy's name. And he goes to rehab for free bass and cocaine. And he gets out and he goes on the talk show and they're talking to him. And I'll give you my best impersonation of him.
Now, I'll do it too, if somebody offers it to me. So I'm just being polite. And I will smoke a little bit of reefer and I'll have a drink. But I will not free bass cocaine no more. Now that's what they taught me down there at the rehab club. Is that I'm gonna change my, now tequila, the last time I had tequila, I went upside Sally's head, broke a car window, that was a problem. So look, I'll have a drink, I'll have a toot, if somebody offers it to me, I'll do a little reefer, but I will not free bass cocaine no more. Thank you, end scene.

**Jalen Dubb** (3:06)
That was Dan on Jacob. That was Dan on the guy you're talking about.

**Matt Lavelle** (3:09)
All right, love it. Okay, first comment tonight, we're gonna have a toot. First comment comes off the clip we had of the ultimate heated Roseanne TV mom debate. If you notice in the thumbnail, we are all in the thumbnail. Good stuff. Here it is. It's from Mani B888. Mani B888. And here's what it says.
Roseanne worked as a hair salon receptionist, then as a diner waitress at the mall, also while working at Dan's bike shop. Then she and Jackie got a loan from her mom to become the owners of the lunchbox. Then they won the lottery. Darlene had a baby girl and was pregnant before Becky was. I'm pretty sure.
Dan and Roseanne hated Becky's boyfriend Mark and tried to split them up a million times. But when your teen daughter is young, emotionally dumb, and thinks she's in love, sadly, nothing doing. DJ ended up marrying a black woman and having a mixed daughter, which was ironic because in one of the earliest episodes, he refused to kiss a black girl in the school play.
Then the next comment from MoniB888, she gave clips and like titles to they put, she put links to the YouTube clips in the next follow up comment.

**Liam Lishmiglay-Rees** (4:41)
Dude, I love this person.

**Matt Lavelle** (4:42)
What a hero. Yeah, I did say this was my response. I said, these comments are incredible. These comments will be read on next Friday's episode, the 9-11 show. And what a better way to honor 9-11 than by doing Sopranos, ranking Sopranos characters. Am I right? Am I right?
Yeah, there we go. Next comment. Great. Honestly, great comment. MonnyB8888. Great comment.

**Liam Lishmiglay-Rees** (5:10)
I hate you with the facts, bro.

**Matt Lavelle** (5:12)
With the facts. What are you going to do? You can't argue with facts. Next comment comes off the Never Take Meth at a Wedding Clip. That was a big fun one from last week. Jdub, thank you. This is from user-vi5pw8lx6b.
So, real person, for sure. It says, It can be a full-time job after you give in. Ain't, I'll tell you, great way to describe a habit. It is a full-time fucking job, daddy. We've all been, I'll tell you, we've been employed a bunch on this show.
We're working around the clock, daddy.

**Liam Lishmiglay-Rees** (5:52)
You'll pull in like a full-time job worth of money with all your capers and bullshit.

**Matt Lavelle** (5:58)
Oh, dude, the capers.

**Justin Richardson** (6:00)
Love a good caper.
