on this date in twenty eleven.April seventeenth, twenty eleven. Damn do

(06:36):
you remember it? Before it cameout, I'd never heard of it as
far as the books by George Martinnever heard. No, I had no
idea. That was the thing.It started gaining traction. I still had
no idea. And I remember oneday I just clicked on HBO in the
middle of an episode and it wasprobably episode four or five, and it

(06:58):
was when cal Drogo was pouring theliquid gold onto Calisi's brother. Yeah,
Danaris's brother who was supposed to bethe king. He said, crowd for
a king, important Multen. Thatwas one of my happier moments in that
series. That's the moment. That'sthe first thing I saw, and I'm

(07:19):
like, oh, as start Andthen I watch that episode over and then
I started from the beginning and squarelyonboard. Ever since, I never heard
of the books. But once theannouncement was made about this series and once
HBO debuted it, I heard froma lot of people that had read the
books that I had no idea thatthey were fans. I was like,

(07:42):
oh, my god, they're makingsomething out of Game of Thrones or whatever
it's called The Fiery Winds of Earthand Saturday or something, Yeah, something
like that. What did I say? But yeah, people that they were
kind of like they liked these novels, but closetly because I think it was
probably a small group of people thatwere into that type of thing. But
when HBO actualized it and realized itinto a legitimate series and people came out

(08:07):
of the woodwork and just loved talkingabout those books. They're not staying true
to the books, Well shut upand let me watch my damn show.
I like it. It was soit was not doing the books. So
good, so good, And Iknow they're still wigging out about the next
book not coming out. Huh.People are freaking about that. But fun

(08:28):
to watch fun times, fun,fun communal television back in the day before
we get to talkbacks. I've gota residual from Dingo's Morning News if you
don't mind, and it's a littlebit of fun audio as well. So
I didn't know about this, andapparently neither did anybody else. But in
twenty ten, just I think abouttwo years after Sopranos ended and kind of

(08:54):
left the ending the final scene ofthe final episode open to interpretation of what
the ultimate fate of Tony Soprano was. In twenty ten, James Gandolfini reprised
the character of Tony soprano with EdieFalco as Carmela in a recruit video to

(09:18):
help get Lebron James to the Nicks. Did you know this? Okay,
this has apparently been something that noone has ever seen, And fourteen years
later, this thing comes out andit was a podcast, the latest episode

(09:41):
of a There's a reporter named PabloTorre and he does a podcast called finds
Out and it's basically what we do. It's just a bunch of knuckleheads sitting
around microphones talking about sports and stuff. Well, they start talking about this
thing and he's like, well,I've got the video and it's unearthed footage
of this video made by Gandalfini andFalco to help woo Lebron James from Cleveland

(10:05):
to the Knicks, where he ultimatelyand obviously famously ended up in Miami.
Well, I've got the video andI wanted to play the audio if you
have any interest in hearing this,it's kind of cool. I'll set the
scene. It's Carmelo soprano in thekitchen. It's Tony with a full beard,
sitting at a table reading a newspaperand apparently they're in witness protection.

(10:28):
The witness Protection Program, and theaudio goes something like this, real quick,
you're gonna hear some laughter in thebackground. That's the laughter of the
podcasters that are reviewing this live forthe first time. And I'll start it
one more time. Sorry about that, Tony. I'm so glad we moved

(10:50):
to New York. Life is somuch better now. Protection Program. He's
got to find a place for yourfriend Lebron to live. What's he likes?
A mod of guy, what herespects tradition. Here's something classy on
the East Side. Was it bigenough? It's gonna be entertaining a lot

(11:11):
of people in New York. It'svery expensive. Oh, that's not gonna
be a problem. You gotta findsomething magnificent. Something there's nothing in the
world like in one of a kindlike he is. Well, here's a
place, he says. It getsreally loud. Then take a look.
They show a picture of Madison SquareGarden. Oh yeah, yeah, that's

(11:35):
it. That's gonna be perfect forAllow me to reintroduce myself. My name
is the reason. Yeah, it'shalf the reason I was playing this.
