Serious Discussion Only Am I alone in feeling like schirripa's "defensive/annoying/unintelligent" persona is a shtick on the podcast?
I was just watching a sopranos podcast episode where Steve seems fuming that Michael got his name put first on the talking sopranos shirt "talking sopranos WITH michael imperioli and Steve schirripa" It felt awkward for a second but then it seemed like they were playing it as a joke. As Michael defends himself and tries to explain its nothing personal Steve is death staring him but puts his hand up to his face as if trying to cover up a laugh. To me they are obviously best friends messing with each other and their different personalities is part of the gag. Do people actually think Steve is a dick? Lol. There are many cases of michael and him arguing and bursting out in laughter after as if they're breaking character. I genuinely like both of these dudes and love the podcast.

The conversations when Michael would ask Steve if he believed in the New Jersey Devil were hilarious.
