I hope that you guys have enjoyed yourself during the break and cuz yeah, I'm very excited to be joining back in with some more of The Sopranos.

I love the conversations that we have within the show that is um you know as much as it is external is just as much internal.
Um, and that's something that again always surprises me about the show, especially with the time that it came out with and how they are going about communicating that and uh associating that level of awareness with kind of and I say this I say this like not to poke fun but just because it is what it is like they're ignorant you know they're ignorant to what they're truly experiencing and that's just a product of the time that they were in while also just because of the people that they are All right. And it's fascinating to see that grow. So, I'm very excited to continue on with the show and I hope that you guys are as well. Uh, if you're already on the Patreon, I just want to say thank you so much. You're already doing the best thing for me.

>> How'd they [ __ ] get to this? Probably the meth. It was probably the meth that that had you, you know, kind of get to this.
This man Tony going to start smashing on her for real. I was just joking on that, but I guess I guess that's I mean, who knows, man.
I've never seen the side of her. It's adorable.
>> I wish I knew your secret. Lose a leg.
And >> but this man Tony is hunting right now.
He's swimming around like a shark that he is.
>> You're beautiful. Remind me of that movie star.
>> It is beautiful.
>> Got a gobble.
>> Oh [snorts] yeah. Oh yeah. Y'all y'all about to get active, [laughter] dude.
He's already with another girl that's not even his wife. Listen, this this is as as as terrible as it is for him to be cheating once again.
At least we know he's not an abbleist.
Okay. That's good. That's good trait to have. Tony [laughter] are fine. In fact, they're encouraged for patients who smoke. But Chris, no chocolate allowed. No caffeine or substances containing caffeine.
>> Damn. Damn. Took his candy stash.
>> Yep.
All right, Christopher. I hope you come out of this a better man, dude. Can't be hitting your your soon tobe wife, bro.
That's just not what you supposed to be doing.
>> But Tony, come on.
You're a nice guy, but I got my own problems. I don't want all the time prop you up.
She's She's trying to look out for you.
She's trying to look out for you, dude.
She's trying to look out for you. Uhoh.
Everybody's cheating, man. Everybody's staking a cheating. Everybody's actually cheating. People are getting hit. Dogs are dying.
Just another episode of The Sopranos, my man. Look at the shot of Furio, man.
Wow. They really they really did it.
That's really hilarious.
>> Low is not a you know 98 99 mph guy.
[cheering] [applause] >> Paulie, leave it alone, man. Paulie go, bro.
>> All right, guys. And that's where we're going to be ending this episode. All right, everybody. And that was a great episode. I really love the editing throughout this. Not only did a lot happen, you know, a lot of impactful things that happened, especially when it came down with Christopher, but we're getting just little little tidbits, you know, very high quality tidbits of all the other things that are circulating around this story here, especially with, you know, FA uh I'll just call him Fabio [laughter] Furio and Carmela with Tony and his uh dealing with his inner issues. There's a lot of things going on, especially with the whole incident with Ralph, right?
So, we're gonna be heading up for something. I mean, obviously, there's going to be some type of heat between the two families. Um, especially because of the whole real estate thing kind of not working out. But regardless, we're going to see what happens, y'all.
They're down one man. They don't have Christopher with them. So, they might take this opportunity to make a move on them. But yeah, it's good to be back and I'm happy that you guys are back with me. And uh yeah, if you're on the Patreon, I'll see y'all in a few seconds. If not, then hey, it's all good. I'll see y'all when I see y'all.
Say stay healthy. Stay hydrated because we we're just getting started.
