Just finished watching the first episode of season 4. Tony is sitting on his couch eating ice cream and he is telling carm he worked his ass off to get the money she is so worried about. Does tony actually work hard? How many hours does he put in to provide for his family?

There was that one episode where he actually has a desk job, and all he does it fukk the coworker and spend the rest of the day being bored.
The wise guys in that show just put effort in their criminal activities but that’s about it. Vito got bored out of his mind and came back because he couldn’t stand a regular job

There's this old folktale about the "Sword of Damocles", I think if you gotta live with that you work pretty hard

Good point! If you had to guess how many hours a day would you say tony works to provide for his family?
He didn't work for shyt like real gangsters did..Luciano set up bosses and organized all the prostitution. Benny Sigel shot up the most powerful NY boss of his time to get ahead and try doing shyt out in Vegas...
He's good at murder really and being a compulsive liar.

He also organized he office football pool
.You see the skill, dedication and persistence it took to measure the lines of the tracker with the ruler? Each row and column had to be perfectly aligned and in sync. That takes a lot of effort

To be fair Vito needed hip surgery, he wasn't cut out for physical labor.

Tony generally speaking did not work hard but for a boss he put in way more murder work personally than he had to.
I don't know if that's admirable or stupid.

In the 00s, I would say that's stupid.

Yeah, I think something the show was trying to illustrate though is the mob isn't like the Godfather at least not anymore. Even the bosses are at @ a lower level and closer to the street. Still, yeah if he wanted Tony still could remain out of any planned murders.

He almost got caught for it too when he killed the guy from A Bronx Tale. The witness only decided he wouldn’t come forward with info when he learned who Tony was.

Yeah I remember that. In 2020 he would have definitely got caught doing that.

He spent a lot of time at his desk in the bada bing. when he wasn't looking at porn or stuffing his face he looked busy

8 to 12 hours a day on the week days. He left probably a couple hours after the kids and hung out @ Satriale's or the Bing all day. He seem to be home for dinner most of the time. But you know it all depends on what's poppin' in the street or if he is really into whoever his mistress is at the time, he came and went as he pleased especially if Carmella was happy/busy.
