Last week, we saw HBO replying to 3-year-old tweets from cable cutters who wanted a stand-alone HBO option back then—something it is now launching with HBO Now. Today, the network unveils a companion video, in which it punks Jake Caputo—the guy who got people all riled up and demanding stand-alone service in 2012 by launching takemymoneyhbo.com—with help from some very special guests.

If Caputo really wants to give his money away to HBO, Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri and Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero will happily take it off his hands.
