@JoeBenigno_real Your dad is a legend and I love listening to pod. He was also very nice to me when I met him at the meadowlands once.

@FastbreakHoops5 I hate this footage bc it’s misleading. For every Ric Brunson, there are 1000 Little League dads who push too hard and force their kids to quit by age 13. Yes, it worked out for Jalen. But for 99% of kids this age, this type of behavior drives a wedge between father and son.

@BackAftaThis Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES would a doctor ever ask one his patients to call another patient. This man is such a pathological liar.

Mike Francesa knew that John Sterling was very sick, because he knows one of his doctors. Of-fucking-course he does.

Mad Dog Russo wonders if the #1 seed Detroit Pistons will consider their season "a success" if they lose in the first round to #8 seed Orlando. 😂 WHAT? 😂

@TheSopranosClub I realize he may have had some struggles with substance abuse, but I’ve never heard a negative story about him. All accounts are that he was a great guy.

James Gandolfini personally gave half a million to cast members after a money dispute with HBO. This obviously wasn’t “look how great I am” PR crap. The most logical reason was his morals, values and principles.
Crazy Vibes@CrazyVibes_1

By Season 4 of The Sopranos, Gandolfini was earning $400,000 per episode. HBO wanted Season 5 on the fast track, and the offer was staggering: roughly $1 million per episode across 13 episodes. Agents celebrated. Lawyers drafted. But something stopped him cold. His co-stars were earning a fraction of what he made. Edie Falco, the woman who carried every scene as Carmela Soprano, wasn't close. The supporting cast earned even less. Gandolfini looked at his contract and saw something executives didn't want him to see — a gap that felt deeply unfair. So he did something that shocked Hollywood. He walked away. Production stalled in early 2003. HBO filed a lawsuit seeking around $100 million in damages. Headlines called him difficult. Columnists called him unstable. "They think I'm a wild animal," he reportedly told a friend that spring. The easy move would have been to sign, cash the check, and disappear into Tony Soprano's shadow — the character who made him a household name and quietly trapped him inside it. Instead, Gandolfini made a different choice. He eventually returned to the negotiating table and signed the deal. But what he did next became legend. Gandolfini reached into his own pocket and personally gave approximately $33,000 to each of 16 supporting cast members — roughly $500,000 of his own money — as a thank-you for standing by him during the shutdown. No press release. No cameras. No announcement. Just quiet envelopes handed out privately. Crew members remembered other moments too. Gandolfini would show up early at Silvercup Studios in Queens, sit in a folding chair, chain-smoke, and ask grips and lighting technicians about their kids by name. He remembered birthdays. He remembered losses. When a crew member's family member fell ill, he quietly helped with expenses. When writers pulled all-nighters rewriting scenes, he fought to protect their words on screen. The turning point wasn't the signing. It was the pause — the refusal that cost him his reputation, invited a massive lawsuit, and risked killing the biggest show on television. He bet everything on a principle most people would have quietly swallowed. Season 5 aired in 2004. Ratings climbed. Awards followed. Critics called it one of the greatest seasons of television ever made. But behind the numbers was a quieter truth: James Gandolfini used his leverage not just to lift himself — but to lift everyone standing beside him. He played a man who ruled through fear on screen. Off screen, he led through loyalty. When he died suddenly in 2013 at age 51, cast and crew members told the same stories over and over — not about his Emmy wins or his iconic performance, but about the envelopes, the folding chair, the questions about their kids. A legacy built not on what he earned, but on what he shared. Power doesn't always roar. Sometimes it whispers through a quiet envelope, handed over with no cameras watching.

@ericadamsfornyc Couldn’t one argue 1 murder per year is too many? Why are we expected to share the planet with killers?

Thanks for reminding everyone that murders dropped every year I was in office and hit the lowest level in the city’s history when I left. Weather in Albania was beautiful.

@TheSopranosClub Wow, that’s a great question. I hesitated but said No. I think if he found out she kissed that wallpaper guy or slept with AJ’s teacher, he probably would have.

@BackAftaThis IMO he absolutely was pondering it. Remember how much pent up anger he had with Tony over him favoring Tony B and being alone in a car with Adrianna (in DOVER!!). But I think seeing the destitute family completely turned him around and showed him what his life would be like.

Does anyone think there was actually a chance that Christafuh was pondering, even briefly, going into witness protection with Ade before he saw Mullet Dad and his shitty car and realized he would end up as an ordinary schnook? Chase didn't include this scene for no reason.
