right, yeah, British actor. Yeah, probably is Sean of the Dead. No, no, who is it? Sean Bean was Ned Stark in Game of That That's right, that's right. And Game of Thrones premiered on this date in twenty eleven. April seventeenth, twenty eleven. Damn do you remember it? Before it came out, I'd never heard of it as far as the books by George Martin never heard. No, I had no idea. That was the thing. It started gaining traction. I still had
no idea. And I remember one day I just clicked on HBO in the middle of an episode and it was probably episode four or five, and it was when cal Drogo was pouring the liquid gold onto Calisi's brother. Yeah, Danaris's brother who was supposed to be the king. He said, crowd for a king, important Multen. That was one of my happier moments in that series. That's the moment. That's the first thing I saw, and I'm like, oh, as start And then I watch that episode over and then
I started from the beginning and squarely onboard. Ever since, I never heard of the books. But once the announcement was made about this series and once HBO debuted it, I heard from a lot of people that had read the books that I had no idea that they were fans. I was like, oh, my god, they're making something out of Game of Thrones or whatever it's called The Fiery Winds of Earth and 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 that were into that type of thing. But when HBO actualized it and realized it into a legitimate series and people came out of the woodwork and just loved talking about those books. They're not staying true to the books, Well shut up and let me watch my damn show.
I like it. It was so it was not doing the books. So good, so good, And I know they're still wigging out about the next book not coming out. Huh. People are freaking about that. But fun to watch fun times, fun, fun communal television back in the day before we get to talkbacks. I've got a residual from Dingo's Morning News if you don't mind, and it's a little bit of fun audio as well. So
I didn't know about this, and apparently neither did anybody else. But in twenty ten, just I think about two years after Sopranos ended and kind of left the ending the final scene of the 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 Edie Falco as Carmela in a recruit video to
help get Lebron James to the Nicks. Did you know this? Okay, this has apparently been something that no one has ever seen, And fourteen years later, this thing comes out and it was a podcast, the latest episode of a There's a reporter named Pablo Torre 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 and Falco to help woo Lebron James from Cleveland to the Knicks, where he ultimately and obviously famously ended up in Miami. Well, I've got the video and I 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 the kitchen. It's Tony with a full beard, sitting at a table reading a newspaper and apparently they're in witness protection. The witness Protection Program, and the audio goes something like this, real quick, you're gonna hear some laughter in the background. That's the laughter of the podcasters that are reviewing this live for the first time. And I'll start it one more time. Sorry about that, Tony. I'm so glad we moved
to New York. Life is so much better now. Protection Program. He's got to find a place for your friend Lebron to live. What's he likes? A mod of guy, what he respects tradition. Here's something classy on the East Side. Was it big enough? It's gonna be entertaining a lot of people in New York. It's very expensive. Oh, that's not gonna be a problem. You gotta find something magnificent. Something there's nothing in the world like in one of a kind like he is. Well, here's a
place, he says. It gets really loud. Then take a look. They show a picture of Madison Square Garden. Oh yeah, yeah, that's it. That's gonna be perfect for Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is the reason. Yeah, it's half the reason I was playing this. So the guys are laughing when they go to the jay Z tune and you get this gold. Let's do some talkbacks. Let's do some talk Hey, Hi, Christina, you jumped in for JJ. Hi. What are you
doing in there? I just came in a little early to help her out. Fuck you some talkbacks, I believe so. So we're gonna see. I just hit which everyone you got. Kevy was traveling to nine on a plane. I heard that his flights grounded to Barcelona, Spaino and Kevio's going to miss his tea time. But I miss Kevio. Go see Dave Matthew some mother time. Really beautiful. It's kind of a jump off point for a Kevo return song. Yeah, he did make it to Barcelona near four
hour delay leaving DFW, but they are on the ground. Did you congratulate him? I text him the gift of that windy plane landing. Yes, like that crazy wipe it out that he finally made it, But he has not responded. Did you like that picture of spaghetti? I texted you guys. Yes, he wished him a good trip with the grossest looking full of spaghetti. You know what I did. I looked up Google image search and just typed in gross spaghetti. Yes, that Jesus, that's nasty. You
send. I mean, you're being so sweet in this thread and I'm, you know, being a dick. And you send a beautiful photo of you and Christina somewhere in Italy. What is that in front of him? Fountain of course? And then I follow it says have fun, buddy, And I sent him this picture of the worst spaghetti you've ever seen, and it
just says enjoy, enjoy. And then when he said he got his first delay, we got back on the nut kicking, and I just sat him a picture of a grounded plane with the wing that had just fallen off. I don't like, I said, the life raft. You said the life RAPI we try to be nice for one second, and I'm not kicking commensos. Humans run away from society to join the circus. I guess developments run away from the circus to join society. Well, the show gus to be
done, all right. It's sweet, very heavy, very sweet, good morning. Don't beat This is a roseppe. I just came back to my motherland of Italy this morning. A actually, and the plane almost crashed and everybody was screaming and scared. But there was a hero, somebody named Cavio. He got everybody came by playing around the jeopardy. He had a whole luggage full of table games in the board games, so thank you Kevio. Okay, see he had a whole luggage hold loge Okay. He introduced himself
as Hoseppi. Uh huh, so we have the blend of Jose and Giuseppe. Weird that Kat would play Jeopardy, not family feud, but I was thinking that would be the thing that would calm down the passengers, is the impromptu family This will do it. We had to hit ten answers are on the board and you're like kind of buckling up and shaking him. You're like,
all right, Blue, that's great. Kat should feel pretty good because uh sroy putting his find info out there means that all twelve people that listen to this show are monitoring, not monitoring, but yes, monitoring his flight to ensure his safety. And you know we care were okay, twelve is maybe a little high, yeah, but thank you. We were shooting for the Barcelona listeners so they could make little glitter signs and welcome Kevio, which we don't know if it happened or not. It may have, all right,
one more guys, who's gonna play the OJ Simpson? Apart from then they could hen remake Who's gonna be nord Berg? Boy? That will they? Will they even cast it? Will they? Sure they will? They'll make a subtle joke about it. Will they make a subtle joke about hot gone wrong? You know? Maybe Nordburg is passed away like the real O J Who knows last one? Cavy went on bake k and I know it's only been a day, but miss Kevy, miss Cavevy, he is a
legend. I didn't think anyone could knock Hosepie off the podium, but when you hit that note, you win the day. Right, who's cutting onions? All right? Thanks all the talkbackers.
