Tom Hagen

We don't want anybody...

This is like that, except that instead of telling Tom Hagen to get Clemenza to rough those kids up that messed up the Undertaker's daughter.

No, the Baker's daughter.

You use a live chat, a live stream, and a group chat.

two hours a day liking Sopranos memes on Instagram maybe you should spend some time

listen that doesn't mean he's he's Tom Hagen like doesn't mean he's a good consigliere

but so uh that he's no Silvio Dante uh yeah that Losing Steve, this still feels like it's...

Every person I talk to...

Come get me.

And now quietly on Sunday night, Tom Hagen, his consigliere, says, you better fold your cards here.

I also find it fascinating that he fined Kawhi, what, 700 grand? He probably has that in his glove compartment.

Like, how much do you think he made off what actually happened? I mean, how much money do you think he got funneled into his bank account?

And so that's where he's there.

And then we meet Tom Hagen, the consigliere, who is Irish and German and not in the family, but he's a lawyer and his only client

is

the Corleones.

oh he's so dumb Fredo is like I I kind of want to call him Alfredo forever because I do too he's just wet noodles he's so fucking stupid yeah Fredo the dumbass is out here but yeah Michael the civilian he has K at the wedding he's kind of just using that as a way to explain everybody but from an outsider perspective which I thought was really interesting but it moves the story along so without recapping the whole movie the inflection point after this is a scene involving some of the other families in New York.

And I don't want to get too far ahead of that because there's another inciting incident that really establishes some of the mob stuff.

Tom Hagen goes out to LA to talk to the producer about putting Johnny Fontaine in the movie.

And he doesn't, I can't remember why it doesn't really matter, but they're talking at his stable and he's talking about his horse.

He was the house lawyer.

Epstein's generic version of Tom Hagen.

You know, the guy that's around to offer advice, fix things, bring some money out, pay off people who need to be paid off, and, you know, go to the ATM and the bank and get involved in structured withdrawals as well.

Because, you know, he's so bright and all.

I haven't heard that before." And Josh texted me, uh, a few days later and said, "Hey, I've been working on a skills profile.

What would it look like if the CHRO was actually a consiglieri?" And we watched The Godfather and, and pulled up Tom Hagen, and-

[laughs]

... and we built a rudimentary skills profile, uh, on that consiglieri.

Oh, go ahead, Chris.

No, I was gonna say for the sake of the listeners, we'll insert that clip right here.

My brother, Tom Hagen.

This is Kay Adams.
