I wonder what the rhyme or reason was to where they hung out during the day? Sometimes they were in the back room of Satriale's and other times the Bada Bing. I could never tell the difference between the back rooms. It seemed like Satriale's was on a semi-busy street in Newark, while the Bing was off some highway. I wonder what town tho.

Run Thru U Like Skattebo
80% easy work while setting his own hours just checking up on people and giving advice, then 20% extremely wild shyt that if not done right could get him killed or sent to the feds for life

the stress of the 20% bleeds over into the 80% so he probably feels like he is always working hard (which is why he needs a shrink)

Funny I've been watching Soprano's clips on youtube recently. What I gathered rewatching scenes 10 years after originally watching it in my early 20's, Tony is an awful boss. He was petty, hypocritical, vindictive, quick to anger and had no control over his crew. It's probably why he was such a great character to watch.

I think he did have control of his crew but the rest is accurate. But really out of all those guys in the DiMeo crew he was the only option. Uncle Junior, Bobby, Paulie, Sil, Christopher, Carlo fukkin' Ralphie they all would have been worse than Tony.

most wealthy people dont work hard

working hard is for the poor or those just barely getting by

sorry to break the news to u
Another question how much do you think these guys made a year?
I think Tony mad between 1 to 2 million annually.
Sil because of the Bing more like 500K to a million/year.
I think Paulie, Christopher, Patsy were more like 250K a year.
And Bobby wasn't making shyt like 100K until Tony promoted him.
Vito the gay construction tyc00n was getting it tho. He probably was clearing a million a year the amount of times Tony gushed about how good an earner he was.

Idk breh, he had a high turn over rate of soldiers and workers, just a few off the top of my head

Killed Ralph over some p*ssy and a dead horse
Furio nearly killed him over his wife
Couldn't keep Tony B and Feech satisfied with work after coming home from jail, so he got rid of them after they defied him
His boy p*ssy was a rat
His own nephew who was supposed to take over the family was a junkie and he ended up killing him
Paulie almost had them in a war w/ NY bc he gossiped like a bytch and he was also never happy

Sil was the only one I can think of who kept his shyt in order

Besides Ralphie none of that is his fault. He had to clean up after all these guys. I have a soft spot for Christopher I don't think he should have killed him but he hated his life in the mob he didn't want to be the boss.

When you’re the boss you don’t have to do shyt but collect what they kick up to you. You gotta remember at the start of the show he’s a Capo so he had already made his bones.
