@@johnclay2716 Sometimes all it takes is a simple phrase or word to convey the right ideas to people. Like my friend said when he'd be dieting, he'd just think about how much better his next meal would be if he waited for the right time.
Carmine fought and won the battle against egg salad for decades. A man's man. Eventually, Tony Egg had his way though, and Carmine's luck ran out. I'm not crying, you are!
Tony Lip the actor, had a very colorful life; aside from being in Godfather, Goodfellas, and the Sopranos. He was the bodyguard for a prominent black musician in the 60's, and he had to protect him during tours in the South. His greatest strength was not his muscles but his ability to reason with people, by talking with wity NYC talk. Tony Lip was so legendary, that they made a movie about him in 2018 called 'Green Book' staring Viggo Mortensen as Tony 'Lip' The movie is like 'Driving Miss Daisy' but the roles are reversed.
I thought the movie did him disservice. He is a hothead there who punches an innocent employee when everything is not the way he wants it. Like an abusive asshole portrayed sympathetic. The real Lip was very different.
He was a true, old school boss. A business man who didn't let emotions run his empire. Unlike the glorified crew in Jersey and his fat-fetish underboss...💅
16:00 "I remember when little Carmine use to wait in the golf cart. And as far as I'm concerned, he should STILL be there!!" You are gold. Don't ever change. ♥
What about when he called Tony 5:30 in the morning fully dressed and he was surprised Tony was still in bed undressed. Remember when the feds came and got Tony early in the morning in his underwear.
I have to confess, I ALWAYS loved Carmine Lupertazzi for all the reasons stated here. Brilliantly conceived by the writers, he was superbly played by actor Tony Lip in his greatest role. Thanks for this.
This puts me in mind of a conversation I had with my cousin and best mate... I'm writing a screenplay about his many adventures, some of them are WILD! He's a very senior officer in the Australian special forces command (SOCOMD) and he's a different kind of officer. See he rose to his position through a highly decorated and intensive record of combat, in several theatres of operation and a bunch of his boys have told me, on many occasions, "I would follow that man through the gates of hell, he is the finest soldier I've ever had the privilege of serving with." And he really did command one of the most effective modern special forces squadrons in the world. They were legendary in the early 2000s. He remarked one day, when I brought that up in one of our recorded conversations, "A good leader amongst men of war never aims to be the leader; he'd never choose it if given the choice... However it's through the trials of war when the leader becomes obvious to everyone, himself included and he knows what he must do. There's no election, no discussions, it's just clear who's in charge, even to an outsider observing the team, and that dynamic never needs mentioning. I always wanted to be a soldier, a tier one soldier and I'm living my dream; but I never wanted to be a C/O. That just kind of happened. It humbles me every day to serve with my men, men who would do anything for me and have literally run through fire at my say so. If I needed to assert myself as their commander, I would be no commander at all. They chose the hierarchy and I am forever at their service. It is NEVER the other way around in a strong team." He's the wisest man I've ever met and teaches me how to run a successful company myself. Albeit in a very, very different field. Food for thought.
One of Ghengis Khan’s successors was Kublai Khan (grandson). He went on to expand the mongol empire significantly and created the Yuan Dynasty in China.
Khublai Khan realised that war costs everyone money .when people are fighting they're not earning. If two different cities are planning to go to war he would tell them that if they do he will make war on them and they will definitely lose 😅
Its funny i always thought that the whole reason that Tony had that dream about Carmine Sr in season 6, is he had the same nickname as his wife Carmela, both can be called Carm. So in his dream he switches out one for the other. Seems like a natural dream thing and makes for a surreal dream moment. But now i think its deeper than that, seeing what Carmine symbolized to Tony and really to all of them.
It's a matter of contention of course, but back in pagan Rome epilepsy was considered a blessing from the Gods and epileptics often became priests. It's assumed that Caesar either played up an actual condition, like you say "mini-strokes" or fabricated it entirely for prestige amongst his peers. It's worth noting that Caesar was elected Pontifex Maximus, so it would make sense to claim to have this condition.
I always turn on your videos and when I hear several malapropisms I have half a second of confusion, until I remember you somehow manage to slip Paulie-isms in there so completely naturally it's easy to miss, always makes me laugh lmao
One thing that never made any sense to me was how NY referred to the North Jersey family as "The Soprano Family". There's obviously situations where it makes sense to call em "the Sopranos" or something like that after Junior/Tony took over, and it seems like the Sopranos have been central to the family for at least a couple generations, but they're still the DiMeo Family. Family names don't usually change with a new boss. Especially once they start beefing, it would make sense to separate the problematic Sopranos from the DiMeo Family as a whole. But maybe I'm tweakin.
Carmine never let his emotions dictate his actions- that’s what made him a great boss. He had the growth of his business in mind as all great businessmen do. He negotiated in every action he took, but not at the coast of his operations- he wouldn’t let Jimmy get whacked until his earnings fell off, and presumably would have had the same done to Ralph. While he very understandably put profit first, he was ultimately a gangster mastermind and gave his men their dues in time.
I'm so pleased you mentioned the golfing scene, it is my absolute favourite, as it shows Carmine in his natural habitat - refusing to get played by others. He notices his son and John forming a united front, especially when the two share a glance, when Carmine mentions sunscreen, and Little Carmine mentions the sunblock. I always saw that as the two thinking they knew him and could play him. I always felt Carmine Sr. fumbled his first drive deliberately, to split the two up from a position away from them, a little higher up. I always felt Carmine's anger at the end was put on, to emphasise that he is the boss and John can't weasel his way to control him.
I think he had a great deal of respect and some fear of tonys potential. Always calm and respectful, stand up guy . When there is a bone to pick about sharing the profits from Zelman he has Johnny do the talking . Himself staying with only friendly relations because he knew Tony's rage potential and trying to strongarm him wouldn't be good for business. And he was right , he nearly got clipped over holding his 40percent and ultimately had to concede. That's one comment to his son about Tony's was a genius move to invoke his true feelings on the matter , and to see John's reaction. Genius wid those Slippery fish lips of his
The fundamental question is..Would Little Carmine be as effective as a boss like his dad was, and he WOULD be, even MORE so, but until he is, it's gonna be hard to verify that he thinks he'll be as effective....🤔 (Little Carmine got all the best lines)
Here's the difference in the cunning. When Carmine uses cunning he wins, but when little Carmine stretched the limits of his cunning all the happens is he causes dysentery. He undercuts Tony who could have really been an ally out of pettiness and he makes more of an enemy of John. Everyone loses.
Little Carmine never had the makings of a varsity mob boss. The difference between him and everyone else is that he comes to realize this fact and walks away from the throne, which ended up saving his life…
@robertbusek30 It's too bad because for a brief, shining moment after his father died, and he moved back up to New York.....the Wet T-Shirt Contests in Florida were actually above board and fair.
He may have been "from the old school" but he was so effective because he wasnt ego and tradition first, he was money focused first and foremost. Johnny, Tony, and Phil were so ego oriented and lost sight of the business. He was cunning and every move was about lining their pockets. Phil was waging war because Tony pissed him off. Tony killed off or lost respect from his captains because of his ego and uncontrollable bad habits
Carmine Sr just loved to show he was the Alpha & always in control & on top of everything. Even at the one dinner when Garside street & Zelman is brought up, Carmine has to correct Johnny’s grammar….”minimally expected.”
And sir you failed to mention one of the subtle funniest lines in the whole show " Ralph slept with Ginny?" That shit killed me. And still to this day that scene is great
What made Carmine different was that his original name was Frankie the Wop. He used to hang out with Henry Hill, Tommy DeVito, Frankie Carbone, Jimmy Conway, and the rest of the Cicero crew. Smartly, he changed his name to Carmine Lupertazzi and became a mob boss, and the rest is history. Badda Bing!

Just about finished with “The Wire” can you make a video talking about Michael and his future? You’ve done one for just about all the other kids that we started off with in season 4, I just watched your video on Omar and how the cycle of violence Omar created eventually was what got him killed, I however don’t think Mike would go out like that! With the way the game is I’d love a deep dive and your opinion on how Mike would have been more devious and cunning as the “New Omar”. I really like your videos and I see the Sopranos kick but please make a video on Mike!
I wouldn't say the quote applies to upper echelon mob guys, they're protected and shielded from the street, compared to a regular enforcer, Carmine was boss for over 50 years or so. The worst he'd deal with are RICO trials

Carmine was rational and wasn’t insecure like many of the so called “ Tough guys” like Phil and Tony. Many of the old guard were the ones that created the younger generation of more disrespectful and obsessed about honor and it’s pretty clear that he has experience about Johnny Sack trying to whack him over His Wife Ginny so he had a hit put out in advance. Carmine was forged in fire and utterly chill. That is why he didn’t give a damn about the drama with the families. He has seen and been though worse.
2 bad this Godfather couldn’t birth a son like Michael Corleone? Even tho Little Carmine tried it for one scene… but if he did witness Sil doing his Al Pacino impression, it would kill him! 😂

This puts me in mind of a conversation I had with my cousin and best mate... I'm writing a screenplay about his many adventures, some of them are WILD!
He's a very senior officer in the Australian special forces command (SOCOMD) and he's a different kind of officer. See he rose to his position through a highly decorated and intensive record of combat, in several theatres of operation and a bunch of his boys have told me, on many occasions, "I would follow that man through the gates of hell, he is the finest soldier I've ever had the privilege of serving with."
And he really did command one of the most effective modern special forces squadrons in the world. They were legendary in the early 2000s.

However it's through the trials of war when the leader becomes obvious to everyone, himself included and he knows what he must do. There's no election, no discussions, it's just clear who's in charge, even to an outsider observing the team, and that dynamic never needs mentioning.
I always wanted to be a soldier, a tier one soldier and I'm living my dream; but I never wanted to be a C/O. That just kind of happened.
It humbles me every day to serve with my men, men who would do anything for me and have literally run through fire at my say so. If I needed to assert myself as their commander, I would be no commander at all. They chose the hierarchy and I am forever at their service. It is NEVER the other way around in a strong team."
He's the wisest man I've ever met and teaches me how to run a successful company myself. Albeit in a very, very different field.

I just watched the 2004 Red Sox documentary on Netflix and I never realized how much Joe Torre looks like Johnny sack
2 bad this Godfather couldn’t birth a son like Michael Corleone? Even tho Little Carmine tried it for one scene… but if he did witness Sil doing his Al Pacino impression, it would kill him! 😂
Carmine always seemed like a good Boss… I didn’t understand why John wanted Tony to take care of him. Power and money.
