Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri

... of the character I, and person that I love.

'Cause I remember, like, when Sopranos was popping, I remember, like, Paulie Walnuts would do, like, Super Bowl commercials, but they would always just do the Italian shit where the guys would just stand there-

Mm-hmm

... and just look Italian.

Yeah.

Um, that bit where, um, he's talking [laughs] with it, where, where he calls Christopher and Paulie Walnuts-

Mm-hmm

... about the, the Czechoslovakian killer-

Yes.

Also affectionately known as Polly Walnuts.

Yes.

from The Sopranos.

Right.

And, you know, at first when I heard, I'm like, Polly Walnuts, that sounds so familiar.

And then if you look him up, immediately the whole world will recognize who he is.

He was Tony Soprano's right-hand man.

[laughs]

I'm gonna look like Paulie Walnuts by the time this season is over.

Right.

You've just, you've just moved on to understanding that Mike McDaniel is the alpha, and Josh McDaniels, he doesn't e- he doesn't deserve that S.

Yeah, the salt and pepper.

Yeah, the Paulie Walnuts, basically.

I look entirely too much like the dad from Invincible, right? So because of that, they were like, he's a lawyer.

He's got to be a lawyer.

Yeah, I'm aware of it.

One of the great episodes of The Sopranos, Tony and Polly Walnuts go to Italy.

Yes.

And they think it's going to be this thing where they're embraced... as fellow countrymen, fellow Italians, and the Italians just think they're clowns, and they don't like the food, and nothing is what they thought.

Sometimes they have kids and that's just ridiculous.

Polly Walnuts and Chris Moltisanti from The Sopranos had a kid.

and Tony officiated their wedding and I just I was laughing so hard at that I could not get over that and I just I imagine if you play it you will make something completely different than I did and that's kind of what makes this game cool and special and it's already sold a lot of copies and I can totally see why Then I have to get into, before we get off of Nintendo, the roguelike section of this discussion.

Because there were so many roguelike games, as always, that I got into.

Always, always trying to help you.

F- my first scene is with him, Stevie Van Zandt, Vinny Pastore, Big Pussy, uh, Paulie Walnuts, Tony Sirico.

That's my first scene.

I didn't know anyone.
