No SC, the voices on the other end of the phone are Meadow's and Carmela's. As another member posted, the answering machine says Sopranos. Also, Tony asks Meadow about her brother and she says he puked. The voices sound much younger and the conversation indicates he's gone back in time to when everyone was younger. So, that's why I asked about his age.

Someone else posted about his recovery. As I previously posted, a stomach shot is almost always fatal. For Tony to recover, it will take a while meaning that the rest of his mob family should have plenty of time to do whatever it is that they will do. Also, it means that Tony may never be the same and therefore out of the Don business. Vito's recovery in GFI was from non-near fatal wounds.
