On Brand with Donny Deutsch

On this episode of On Brand, Donny sits down with actor, comedian, and host of the Talking Sopranos podcast, Steven Schirripa. Steve and Donny dig into all things Sopranos, but first, Steve shares his journey from being a bouncer in Vegas, to running small shows, and ultimately, catching the acting bug after having been cast in some short films. Eventually, the Sopranos stars aligned and Steve was cast in the iconic show as ‘Bobby Baccalieri,’ becoming a series regular to the end. He and Donny talk about the magic of the Sopranos, behind-the-scenes stories, and Steve's take on the finale. But before all that, Donny digs into this week's top news, dishing out his weekly 'ups' and 'downs' in this week's Brands of the Week, naming Candace Owens, Tesla, Vanity Fair, and the Whopper among many others.  Be sure to rate, review, and subscribe to get our latest episodes as soon as they drop!
