@CC Charles Schwab over here! Yes, we all know that Tony is the acting/street boss but is the de facto real boss, but one issue throughout the show is Junior pridefully insisting to Tony and others that he is "the real boss." In the famous "varsity athlete" episode (as his dementia begins to peak), Junior insists that "two bosses ain't it's all cracked up to be." I find it interesting that in this scene Junior drops all that pretense and (at least in private) acknowledges Tony as the legitimate boss while he's taken on a more emeritus role.
Junior had great lines...I have been farting in the same couch pillow for months....when he slipped in the shower he yelled " Your sisters cunt!!" He also said he has always wanted to bang Angie Dickenson LOL
" I should be in Boca eating muff and red pepper's. " A complimentary pie in the woman's face when you come home could also help Jr. in these tough times.
This scene reminds me so much of the conversations as an adult with my grandfather. He passed in 2019 at 90 and I miss him and his wisdom everyday. Work, marriage, my kids we talked about everything. Instead of soaps he would be watching Westerns.
@@jimsty5222 PHIL WAS A GREAT DON. JUNIOR TOO. BUT IN AN ERA OF RATS AND TRAITORS, IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE OLD-SCHOOL GUYS TO REIGN FOR A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
What advice? He basically says "you're f*cked whatever you do from here because that first decision was wrong". Did Tony really need to hear that? He already knew. No wonder he never asked Jr for his opinion on it until he brings it up.
I find Juniors change of facial expressions funny at the beginning of the scene. He is so into the soap opera he is watching and when he hears the door, he instantly seems annoyed. I understand how you feel, old man! Cazzatta, Malanga!
I enjoy the way they framed this scene. In the medium shot of Junior on the couch he looks very lonely and forgotten. The set dressing and wardrobe are fantastic too. Tony looks very modern and out of place in this home. By keeping the camera in the living room and just watching Tony walk in, and set down the food it gives the scene an isolated feeling. We, as viewers, never leave the living room because Junior never leaves the room. It's just a wonderful show.
He was an amazing advisor. Had he played that role fully he'd have been an indispensable pillar of the family. But his insecurity of being second to Johnny boy and Jackie Sr and now his own nephew pushed him to go for the boss position that undermined all his best attributes.
Every actor & actress in the Sopranos are simply A* BRILLIANT.......there isn't a bad one! What a cast....... RIP James! You are sadly missed! Sleep well my friend!!!
Typical Tony. Junior offers some great leadership advice and he only takes the "take your pleasures where you can" route. He starts seeing Gloria immediately after this.
That’s really what being a boss is all about.. you make decisions, some people are happy, some aren’t, but you move forward and find happiness wherever you can
Thats actually very good advice junior gave. It can be applied to everyones life. In other words Life is a struggle, but its a short one, so enjoy it while you can.
Both Gigi and Hesh's girlfriend die randomly of a heart attack. Always wondered about those deaths being suspicious. Plus there's Carmine. Healthy as a fuckin' Rhino that guy!
not the smartest...look how sloppy he was when he murdered Patsy's brother...DNA and fingerprints everywhere...mind you all the murders in this show were clumsy
It's amazing Uncle Junior can offer some of the most pristine and necessary advice for the situation. But given now we know of his history, he's insecure, jealous, angry and without a doubt a C U next Tuesday.
Ever notice in the shows when they’re filming on a set that there’s no ceiling? It’s like the walls are 20 feet high, it’s so obvious. And yet you rarely think about it
Junior would have made a great under boss for Tony and Silvio being his number 2 right hand man imagine that junior was very wise and still sharp I'm saying based off season 1 and 2 junior but they would have been a really tough crew to mess with having Paulie pussy Patsy Bobby Christopher etc but I'm not the one who wrote the script but It would be interesting to see how that would have gone if it where set up like that
"Sometimes it's smooth, sometimes you hit the rocks. In the meantime, you find your pleasures where you can." Words to live by.
I've seen this clip before, and that remark is all the more meaningful now that I know why T was asking about someone named "Trillo".
Im glad,i,seen,thí,s,cuz,sometimes,im,

@John Smith forreal, so many good lines in this show
I work for my father in the business he started. Jrs statement changed me. For good
Settle down freak, it’s a show
Some of the best moments of the entire series were simply 1 in 1 scenes with these 2 gents!
Yep.
Yeah... Especially when Junior capped T 😅
Sure, and I'm playing shortstop for the Mets
“Now I gotta pretend I’m a drooling fucking idiot”
Cazzatta malanga!!
“What’s the answer?”
“Who says there is one?”
A good philosophy for life in general.
I was thinking the same thing
"In the meantime, you find your pleasures where you can". That's one piece of advice Tony wouldn't find very hard to take.
what?! that was fucking worthless. There's always an answer, you just may not like it. At all
@@jamesmacaw3865 there's a difference between a answer and a opinion
It's all a big nothing
Interesting to see Junior drop the illusion that he's the "real" boss and acknowledge these family problems as strictly Tony's to address.
He knows Tony is the one "on the street".
Allusion.

Tony knew Junior had more wisedom than he did.
Illness will do that to you.
"My father was a master stonemason. He never cut fuckin' _wood_ ." Easily my favorite line of this series. The disdain in his voice is eternal gold.

Junior: DON'T TOUCH IT!
Old people in a nuttshell
Definitely!
Not,OLD,pêople, i think,
Its,OLDER pêople
My dad, middle of the summer in the south: let me crank the heater up; I'm not fainting quick enough.
"My father was a master stone mason, he never cut fuckin wood."
My favorite line in the entire series.
-Got any thoughts?
-What else do I have left?
Lmao
this is real italian mindset
At the end of the series, he doesn't even have that
🤷🏿♂️😂
Junior would've been a far better Consigliere than Boss.
Also if Ralphie was controlled, he would have been a good underboss.
He was consigliere in Gotti
@@JayCity10 the best underboss from the Soprano crew would have been Capo de Tutti RIP

You’re turn to take over for your grandpa. Pass that wisdom on.
Cool story (Y)
You were lucky to have that treasured time with your Grandfather. Sadly, mine both died young. And watching westerns aswell, the best of times!
That’s some great leadership advice from Junior
great advice is only great advice if you take it....for it to be of any good you have to take it...and a lot of the time Tony didn't...
Junior was a good advisor to Tony. When his mind started to go, that's when Tony started making a lot of mistakes and becoming a really terrible boss.
@@josephkerr2807 well, that and Phil running New York after Johnny Sack's arrest. Things really went to shit with Phil in the New York boss seat.

lol how junior smiles while watching tv but then puts on a tough face when he hears someone come in. so funny.
Junior sitting on the same sofa cushion he has been farting into for the past eighteen months.
Spare a thought for that poor sofa cushion.
How often are sofa’s introduced.
He's been waiting like patience on a monument
There was nothing we could do. Junior was a made guy and the couch cushion wasn't.
@@AJTwo stfu
He never cut f--kin wood. Lmao
The way he said that shit lmaooo like wtf
He never had the makings of a varsity carpenter.
Uncle Junior: "Anybody see you come in!?"
Tony: "Yeah :)"
I love his sarcasm!
I find Juniors change of facial expressions funny at the beginning of the scene. He is so into the soap opera he is watching and when he hears the door, he instantly seems annoyed. I understand how you feel, old man! Cazzatta, Malanga!
They don't make em like junior anymore
We still have pieces of shit here
Hes too good
My granma was just like him. spoke to her closest relatives with good advice. Scolds them when they're being knuckleheads..
I"m in awre of you.
There are still plenty of murdering pieces of garbage around.
The irony is that when Junior was boss Tony undermined him and went around his back, now he's coming to him for advice.

Funny how Junior has all this knowledge but lacked the will to work it as a boss. He wanted it to be a figurehead position.
small hands , that was his problem.

I never got the impression that the Aprile crew didn't like Gigi.
Its 5months later but...
It's always been implied that anyone not "of the Aprile crew" was seen as an outsider by the Aprile crew.
Gigi was with junior back in the day... Aprile crew had been with junior
Yeah, it was really only ralphie
I wish they did more with that thermostat. It was my favorite character.
Ever had the making of a quality temperature gauge
I wish people did more with not making the same stupid jokes for years
@@LordTalax Yeah, I agree. I wish people did more with their jokes by going home and getting their fucking shinebox.
oh wow, the SAME fucking joke, plastered for the one millionth time?
He never had the varsity of a shinebox
Just when I thought I was out, Sopranos clips pulled me back in.
That is some of the best advice you will ever hear.
100 pill bottles on Junior's coffee table and the thermostat at 80 degrees ... reminds me of my mother's house 😑
These Tony Junior unofficial consigliere scenes have grown to be among my favs as I’ve rewatched the show so much.
"My father was a master stone mason, he never cut fucking wood.". That's a great line.
JUNIOR wasn't stupid by no stretch of the imagination..just to obsessed with his own power
"My Father was a Master Stone Mason, he never cut fuckin wood." LMAO
Imagine how strong the family could of been if Uncle June could of been his official Consigliere.
Best advice tony ever got
Juniors house looks very cozy. And also looks like it’s 1977 in there.
Junior looks comfortable af with that blanket / robe combo.
“Drafts? It’s the fuckin Amazon jungle in here” lol
Always liked the scenes between these two
Never ever touch another man's thermostat
If this isn’t a metaphore for life then I don’t know what is...
This show was awesome,I forgot some of the scenes all the actors were perfect
That's what being a boss is- you steer the good ship lollypop the best way you know. Sometimes it's smooth, sometimes you hit the rocks.
Both Gigi and Hesh's girlfriend die randomly of a heart attack.
Always wondered about those deaths being suspicious.
Plus there's Carmine. Healthy as a fuckin' Rhino that guy!
I think that the stress of the mafia life has to be insane
Hesh’s partner had a stroke
@@steveanderson7864 Stroke/heart attack.
I get a kick out of believing it was Tony poisoning people. It's an unpopular opinion, but you never know.
They were cousins
I like how Junior sounded slightly offended about that woodcutter comment
But he wasn’t made, was he? Ralphie’s son
My father was a master stonemason. He never cut fucking wood!
I agree these scenes are very underrated
Juniors father had the makings of a varsity stonemason
His disgusted tone when he says "he never cut fucking wood", what did wood do to him?
Lumberjack
Best line of the show, Junior is my favourite carachter.
Anybody see you come in? Tony: Yeah, there's a bus load of Japanese sightseers pulled up to your front door.
I like these moments moment where Tony mafia advice from Junior. Like a second Consigliere
Junior had the makings of a varsity consigliere.
Great advice Junior, Charles Schwab over here
Junior was wise one
never noticed that entire pharmacy on the table at 0:54
Gigi was the best captain ever. Such a shame.
not the smartest...look how sloppy he was when he murdered Patsy's brother...DNA and fingerprints everywhere...mind you all the murders in this show were clumsy
DNA and fingerprints? So what? “I was the guys friend, and he gave me a ride home from the airport, so what?”
Ghibelline: Oversimplified War of the Bucket
"Got any thoughts?" "What else have I got left?"
Junior’s memory never had the makings of a varsity athlete
CLASSIC Italian American with the thermostat lol
Calm down Pablito
@@hoss8829 oh come on you can’t deny that’s a classic Italian thing lol I’m not saying anything racially against it I’m just saying classic moment lol
I just love how miserable uncle junior is lol...i want to be just like this.😂
Make sure you form a seal when you close that freezer door
Junior is a little smarter than people give him credit for. He's old school. Something these young guys need to learn
U can see the alzhymers kicking in from way back
This is one of my favourite scenes from the show.
Probably the best clip in the Sopranos.
“Drafts? It’s like the fuckin’ Amazon Jungle in here.” 😂
"Let me take a look at the thermostat for you"
old person DONT TOUCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
old people in a nutshell
Uncle Junior was actually smart as hell
Junior wasn't wrong.
"Everything goes through me" - what is it? did Johnny Boy get pinched again?
Sounds like good advice for life in general!

Anyone see you come in?
Yeah.
Lmao
I just came here for the Bold & The Beautiful episode Junior's watching
My father was a masta stone mason, he never cut fuckin wood.
It’s funny in the fact that junior became Tony’s consigliere a man who once tried to kill the man
He was right. Ralph was pissin in their ears
Juniors couch is the only thing more beat up than Adriana
The world lost a giant talent when James Gandolfini died.
