The Sopranos (S5:E3xE4) | *First Time Watching* | TV Series Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@funkspinna]

12 days since the last Sopranos reaction! You guys are killing me. LOL

[@tonygibson5171]

Lol the tv show that confused Junior is Curb Your Enthusiasm which is still going and on its final season now on HBO.

[@onepcwhiz6847]

lol they do kinda look like Jr and Bobby!

[@SonOfTheLion]

Another series they could do reactions to!

[@Lakeshow82]

One of my favorite scenes of the series 😂

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

It's been on its final season since 2008

[@rach2883]

I was going to say, time to add Curb to their watchlist 😂

[@jillthornton5512]

Dominic Chianese (Junior) said in an interview that when James Gandolfini said the line, “Don’t you love me?” he couldn’t hold back the tears, and he wasn’t told to cry in the script. He still can’t talk about that scene without crying. Gandolfini was going through some tough times during that season, and the whole cast and crew really loved him. ❤

[@misschiefmanager6670]

Awww.

[@DeeSee25]

That scene always hit me for some reason. Now i know part of the reason why.

[@Silly81]

Sad story about Robert Loggia, the reason why his role in the Sopranos was so short was because he was in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s and he couldn’t remember his lines. I remember hearing that story on Talking Sopranos podcast. Great actor, I remember him from Scarface and Big, he had a small (but great) role in An Officer and a Gentleman which I hope you two will watch soon if you haven’t.

[@Ooofaa-Maa]

I agree 💯. But you forgot Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie. 😂😢

[@psidvicious]

Loggia had a pretty good Twighlight Zone episode too. The original TZ back with Rod Serling. Late 50’s, early 60’s.

[@jillthornton5512]

Loved that podcast.

[@verygooster]

“Didn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete” and welcome to one of the most quoted lines of the show by the fan base 😂😂😂

@@Tourist-Qnah it’s pretty funny

[@Aethelhald]

You want an egg? Make @verygooster an egg.

[@agitatedmongoose]

Curb Your Enthusiasm was the show he was watching. A hilarious series. The co-creator of Seinfeld plays a fictionalized version of himself. It started in 2000. Its final Season starts this month. Truly funny. The actors are given a storyline and they make up the lines to get from point A to point B. But that's a behind the scenes thing. You'd never know it wasn't a dialogue scripted show when you watch it.

[@GlennShook]

Final season of curb is tonight! Nobody reacts to that epic comedy show. They should. Is Seinfeld on steroids cause on hbo. Early season especially first like 8 till he started taking breaks in between seasons are illegal so funny.

[@Jerrongamereview]

It's a TV progrum. A movie.

[@agitatedmongoose]

@@Jerrongamereview A TV program that started with an hour long special in 1999.

[@philmakris8507]

Robert Loggia played Feetch and yes, Frank in Scarface.

[@michaelmacias8]

How do you spell his name?

[@catsandalcohol99]

Robert Loggia. R as in Robert Loggia. O as in "Oh my god, it's Robert Loggia." B as in "By God! lt's Robert Loggia." E as in "Everybody loves Robert Loggia." R as in Robert Loggía. T as in "Tim, look over there! lt's Robert Loggia." Space. L as in "Look! lt's Robert Loggia."

[@rayhume1971]

That particular episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm is called "The Doll" and it's one of the funniest episodes of television ever made.

[@cshubs]

Roadies are the people who move and set up equipment for rock bands on the road.

[@ks4isu]

Robert Loggia (Feech Lamana, the old guy that got sent back to jail) also played Tom Hanks' boss in "Big", and had the famous scene with Hanks where they played "Chopsticks" on the giant toy keyboard.

[@thatdamelana]

I had the pleasure of meeting Patti D'Arbanville -aka- Lorraine "Lady Shylock" Calluzzo on two occasions before The Sopranos. She was the sweetest both times. We took pictures & I have her autograph. I wish she was on the show longer. She's led an amazing life. I'm With The Band a book by Pamela Des Barres is a must-read for Rock music lovers, Patti is in the book.

[@psidvicious]

I never knew that was Patti D’Arbanville 😲. I loved her from one of the Fletch movies. Gotta rewind and check again.

[@villavelli]

She was on NY undercover when I was kid

[@thatdamelana]

@villavelli I met her once at the Billboard Awards. The show was nominated and in it’s prime. I met the whole cast.

[@philmakris8507]

Tony directed Christopher and the other dude to set Feetch up from the get go.

[@yellowscreen8591]

Yeah

[@JcraftCharger]

Ya

[@missbelled6700]

I like how Chris was working on 2 suckers in that scene 🍭

[@Jerzeeguy35]

At 21:56, the guy in the middle holding his jacket is Frankie Valli, the lead singer of "The Four Seasons"

Every time one of my buddies does something stupid or messes up, I immediately hit them with, “You never had the makings of a varsity athlete.”

[@scottgibeault1717]

"Why is Bobby in that movie on TV??" lol Was a TV show called Curb Your Enthusiasm where the 2 actors on screen happen to look like Junior and Bobby, but if you look closely it's just a coincidence...

[@corleone908]

He jumped out da tree and come at me wit a chainsaw 😂😂 yo I love paulie

[@DeeSee25]

Paulie is my fave lmao

[@tkremarkTK]

Feech, Robert Loggia, also played in Tom Hank's movie Big, the iconic scene is where he and Tom Hanks are playing chop sticks on a huge piano keyboard that you play with your feet.

[@actuariallurker9650]

The actor playing the old guy Feech is a famous TV and movie actor from the 1950s and 1960s- he was in Columbo, Little House on the Prairie, Rockford Files, Starsky and Hutch, Kojak, and Charlies Angels and was in a number of big movies: Scarface with Al Pacino in 1983, An Officer and a Gentleman, wiith Lou Gosset Jr n 1982 and was nominated for an Academy Award for Jagged Edge in 1985

[@psidvicious]

He did an old old Twilight Zone too.

[@SurvivorBri]

This show always did such a good job at balancing Tony's family dramas with his work stresses. It showed those two sides of his life and how he dealt with it all.

[@aarontaylor6102]

BJ , is absolutely right about Feech the O.G, he played the role of Frank (Scarface boss) in the movie "Scarface"

[@4.20Everyday]

That part when tony says "Dont you love me" And junior just cant say it. 😢

[@rd30000]

"i bet you wont come over and mow nothin now...not with this lawn mower" 😂

Yes I Have Wait for Sopranos continues Episodes, Thanks Guys 👍👍👍👍 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸

[@DeeSee25]

3:58 “yeah what was that?! - Bobby and him?” That whole scene and y’all’s reaction is hilarious! Uncle Junior thought he was Larry David and Asia and BJ have no idea it’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” with Larry David, one of the creators of “Seinfeld.” It’s a real hilarious show on HBO at that too.

[@BigPete44]

BJ you never had the makings of a varsity athlete! Small hands that was your problem! ✋😂🤣💪 Classic!

[@EmvnP209]

19:17 “Don’t you love me?”🥺

[@angelhernandezrivera6195]

1. HBO had a TV show where two of the main characters resemble Junior and Bobby. It was called Curb Your Enthusiasm. 2. A Roadie is a person who helps band during their performances. Lights, sounds, checks equipment, moves things. 3. In all seriousness, Tony really didn't have the makings of a varsity athlete

[@kurre7]

When Junior was confused about whether or not he saw himself on the television, the images on the TV were from another HBO show at the time called Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was starring Larry David, who became famous in the 90's for writing and producing a popular show called Seinfeld. Curb Your Enthusiasm would be a good series to react to. It's a very lighthearted and clever comedy.

[@vuyanijamamkele8319]

That thing that Phil did to Lorraine with the phonebook was SAVAGE!

[@kenjames6063]

Tony's not just upset about the varsity thing. Junior put a hit out on Tony. He colluded with Tony's mother to have him killed.

[@howardweinstein1324]

Tony did a great job setting up Fecch with the Tv's, better than having killed.

[@tbryan5313]

I been waitin' all week!! Cool! Love youz guyz!

[@psidvicious]

Me too. Almost gave up.

[@justsherman4]

Make sure you guys watch The Many Saints of Newark after. it's the Sopranos prequel movie.

[@DeeSee25]

27:58 lol, i make that same noise when im choking and not trying to vom 😅😂

[@SleepParty30]

That last scene with Carmella coming home to an empty house hits hard.

[@JS-wp4gs]

I wouldn't be surprised if he knew he was starting to have mental issues. Most dementia patients do to some degree. At least for awhile. Used to work security in a dementia ward at a nursing home and those places are horrifying to put it mildly. Alot of them knew they had dementia, some even apologized in between bouts of unhinged or violent behavior. Others were pretty much vegetables who would literally walk up and down the same hallway for 12 straight hours until they literally collapsed and then you had the violent ones who had to have personal security guards escorting them everywhere at all times to keep them from assaulting staff, throwing people out of wheelchairs and worse. No matter what their promotional info might say for nursing homes what picture the staff might want you to have of them, those places are absolute nightmares that I wouldn't put my worst enemy in That said, if you have any friends of family members that might need to be in such a place in the future, take my advice and be very careful about vetting what goes on when family members aren't around and make a point of randomly showing up without warning the staff first from time to time. What happens when family members are around is frequently very different from the reality of how things really are when there aren't any witnesses around

[@Chuckclc]

It was better to just set the okd man up rather than clip him. Solved their problem without upsetting anyone.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

" He petty" lol yup best way to describe Paulie

[@jflaugher]

Asia, a roadie is a person employed by a touring Rock band to set up and maintain the equipment.

[@psidvicious]

And you gotta “please” the roadie first, if you want him to let you backstage to meet the band…🤤

[@cakeisavegatable]

00:28:04 lol that’s a homemade gravity bong I used to do those in college bc we were all so damn broke 😂

[@sconni666]

A roadie is the guy that sets up the equipment for a band beforehand they play a gig 🎸

[@psidvicious]

And they also decide who gets backstage and who don’t. “Sooo you wanna meet the band huh…? Maybe we can work something out…” 😛

[@GoldTop57]

Frankie Valli, the lead singer of the Four Seasons, was also in the scene with Carmine.

[@wheelmanstan]

That little guy with Carmine Jr is actually Frankie Valli, a very famous singer, actually the guy who sings the Grease tune. He also sings "can't take my eyes off of you" and "Sherry". I think you reacted to some of these.

[@garrybaldy327]

If you want to know what kind of comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm is, there's a scene at a party where the old bald guy puts an Evian bottle down his trousers because he's told not to leave it around. He then hugs a little girl, who then tells her mom that "Larry's got something hard in his pants" 😂😂

[@86leewis]

That would go through the phone book. I've tried it. Two phone books it stopped but the back did have some damage from it

[@LaCheeserie]

Yeah that’s tv ballistics. But not a slam dunk it couldn’t happen. Depends on caliber, barrel length, type of round.

[@86leewis]

@@LaCheeserie 9mm .40s&w, and .45acp. all had the exact same effect on two phone books. Some wound channels were a bit larger in diameter, but same penetration

[@86leewis]

@@LaCheeserie and a 3.5 in barrel doesn't have much difference than a 5 or 6

[@86leewis]

@@LaCheeserie now my rifles, that's a different story. I doubt 10 phone books will save you

[@LaCheeserie]

@@86leewis remember this is Phil Leotardo. He knows compromise. Perhaps it’s a .22. Perhaps that .22 was made on the radiator and instead of brass or copper, he had to use paper clips

[@WiseGuy5674]

Believe me, this show is 98% accurate in its depiction of the Jersey mob..as well as the NYC and NE families. 😎

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

You should listen to FBI tapes of wiseguys. The old guys like Carlo Gambino spoke a LOT less and was a clean speaker, a Sicilian immigrant. Post the 70s they became quite vulgar and by the 80s, they were the most creative group in command of the F word.

[@tkremarkTK]

Phil Leotard, the actor who played him, also played in Goodfellas!

[@jamesgentry13]

FUN FACT. the guy that playd Paulie really was in the Mob

[@JamesASharp]

Great and entertaining reaction! 👍🏿

[@thedarkprince1987]

I watch The Sopranos a bunch of time and let drop something on you. AJ is more like his mother, but he is suffering from Depression just like his father. A.J. is the one we should've been watching, and he is not lazy. Also, the guy who played Feech was the General in INDEPENDENCE DAY

[@khaleesimandy74]

I'm almost finished with the show for my second time. Have a great Sunday to my favorite couple Asia and BJ ❤❤

[@Burning_Saints]

"Next time, there'll be no next time" love that quote. Phil was stone cold in this scene.

[@abelcastro4813]

Maybe I’m just not aware of how their filming and uploading schedules work on their own time, but they reacted to Scarface a month ago so I don’t know what Asia means when she says she’s never seen Scarface before 🤣🤣

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

" There he is the king of breadsticks"

[@aacevedo42900]

He never had da making of a varsity athlete 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dongiano]

Dude that played Feech was in Scarface, too

[@chrscmo]

You should definitely add "Curb your Enthusiasm" to you list of future tv show reactions. The show that junior thought was him Love you two

[@evelynne2846]

If you watched any music videos by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Frankie had a recurring roll as Rusty Millio on at least this episode of the Sopranos. In one of the scenes he is standing at a table talking to Carmine Junior about "going all out".

[@jimmyrussell8834]

In real life, the actors who play Meadow and AJ Soprano are good friends. They have had a podcast on youtube, and seem like really cool people...

[@MattKeller]

Since neither of you recognized "Curb your Enthusiasm" when Junior was confused by it on tv i think its only right you watch the pilot and react to it. Great show. Not for everybody but still great.

[@jamesmorant1406]

Feech was just like Richie was to old school wasn't gonna change

[@davidmason3671]

Hey Asia and BJ just wanted to say you guys are a beautiful young couple and I appreciate your videos, keep it up. You guys make some wise cracks too you’re pretty funny

Keep in mind: Uncle Junior, in consultation with Tonys mother, tried to have him killed.

[@Bigwayne1984]

Sometime a fall or blow to the head to set it off with old people. when the boom hit him during the trail was the start I think.

[@joemckim1183]

Lorraine is lucky this is back when phone books were super thick. Nowadays even if you actually find a phone book its super thin.

[@jennifertate4397]

That was the actor Larry David I think, on television, who the old dude thought was him. They do kind of look alike.

[@fenianbastard6226]

Totally unrelated, but Asia...what position did you play when you played softball growing up? I played every position in baseball except catcher and 1st base until I got to high school and stopped enjoying the sport, then they just put my ass in right field until I quit haha Pitcher was the most fun, but holy hell was it nerve racking.

[@orangewarm1]

You guys never heard of Curb Your Enthusiasm?

[@rwaa6931]
