   Joseph Nebus to All   
   7 June 2007 - Steven R Schirripa, John M

   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Steven R Schirripa:   
   	- No one says Old Chum anymore.   
      
   	- His character was killed last Sopranos.  Monday morning his   
   wife got condolence flowers.  She said it's disturbing.  His character   
   was likeable, had some real sweetness, so going out like that is   
   upsetting.   
   	   
   	- He was hoping for a death with, you know, a heart attack, a   
   few ``broads'', a pole, but ...   
   	   
   	- The first episode this season had a *very* realistic fight.   
   Because they were both big sweaty messy fat guys.  It wasn't clean and   
   staged; it was messy.  With a fish.  And what family has not fought over   
   Monopoly?  They were really pulling hair.   
   	   
   	- Was anyone hurt?  They had stuntmen, only used them for   
   choreographing.  They really fought, though.  He hit him, he went down,   
   ``please don't beat me up, please don't beat me up'' ... it took about   
   15 minutes.   
   	   
   	- Conan was next to James Gandolfini on a flight and talked to   
   him for hours; he's *very* nice, not like his character.  The one   
   authentic guy?  Tony Sirrico, Paulie Walnuts.  And now that Al Lewis   
   died, he's the only guy in America with that hair.   
   	   
   	- James signed a card to a handicapped guy, ``To the best   
   handicapper in town.''  They were at a cancer charity ... he looked into   
   the camera and says, ``Get your colon checked and tell 'em Paulie sent   
   you!''   
   	   
   	- Have they put him in more silly costumes than any other   
   character?  Fierce hunter, choo-choo hat, Santa, Tony Sirrico said he   
   has the feeling they like to dress you like a moron, an eye patch, the   
   Richard Simmons Mob Guy.   
      
      
   John Mulaney:   
   	- He loves the city, as bars always have a drinking special,   
   some of them dangerous.   
   	   
   	- Summer movie blockbusters cost a lot of money, though he could   
   have bought a ticket just to see that big a pile of money.  He builds on   
   the notion of just seeing lots of money, for a fee.   
   	   
   	- He reflects on the size of pirate chests.  He speculates on   
   pirate depth perception.   
   	   
   	- Donald Trump.  He speculates on how Donald Trump got his   
   personality and how Trump makes decisions.  I like the speculation of   
   ``What would a cartoon rich guy do?''   
   	   
   	- He likes Law and Order.  A lot.  He boldly mocks the   
   body-discovery scenes, and has noticed they reuse the minor characters   
   for the plot structure.  He doubts the ability of bartenders to   
   recognize everyone they're asked about.
