Brehs I have YouTube premium the best investment ever

But side note sopranos clips on YouTube never have commercials even for the free users I don’t know what cheat code the sopranos channels have

I used to go down rabbit holes of soprano clips just unbelievable so good

Rip Tony and Paulie :mjcry:

I know many ppl won’t pick it up (not implying you didn’t) but I loved the irony of how crookish and murderous these lying ass awful group of men were yet had the fukking gall to stereotype anyone and accuse them of wrongdoing...a true/accurate reflection of many cacs...case in point him being opposed to meadow dating the biracial dude meanwhile the “nice italian guy” who he felt was right for her turned out to be such a miserable low life piece of shyt that tony had to end up sanctioning his hit lol smh...that being said I understand that could be lost on some of the audience who may not look @ it from that standpoint or just choose to ignore it

I don’t even think it was subtle either. The cut from “who else?” to Tony.



A lot of the dialogue with black characters was bad though. For example, Bokeem Woodbine had some cheesy dialogue in that one episode.

Paulie was apparently a hitman for some family in buffalo or some shyt in real life

He was associated with the Colombo family. They have his sentencing transcript on smoking gun.


Tony Darrow who played Larry Boy Barese (he also was the restaurant owner in Goodfellas who gets his head cracked by Joe Pesci) was involved in some shyt, as well the actor who played Albert Barese.

I read some youtube comment that Albert Barese was selling dogfood and caught a case thats why he wasnt around too much for filming

New York / New Jersey — Late 1990s (FBI Records)

According to FBI wiretap transcripts and court-documented investigations, real members of the Italian-American Mafia were secretly recorded discussing The Sopranos during the show’s original run. The conversations occurred across multiple crime families as the series gained popularity and national attention.

Federal investigators later confirmed that several mobsters expressed shock at how closely the show mirrored real life. Some believed the writers had inside information, while others complained that scenes involving therapy, family dynamics, and internal power struggles were “too close to home.”

In certain cases, captains reportedly warned associates to lower their voices or stop talking business entirely when the show was playing, fearing surveillance or unwanted attention. One wiretapped conversation described the series as “dangerous” for how accurately it portrayed the psychology and structure of organized crime.

Despite the concerns, The Sopranos continued airing uninterrupted, eventually becoming one of the most influential television series ever produced. Law enforcement officials later acknowledged that the show’s realism stemmed not from leaks, but from extensive research and consultation with former prosecutors and journalists who had covered organized crime for decades.

No charges were brought solely from these conversations, but the recordings remain a rare glimpse into how real mob figures viewed a fictional portrayal that hit uncomfortably close to reality.
