The History of The Mafia (Part 2 of 2)

🕵️‍♂️PINT-SIZED HISTORY TAKES ON THE MAFIA🕵️‍♂️

Today, Joe and Zack dive into The Mob, The Mafia, the Cosa Nostra, or for those who don’t speak Italian, “Our Thing.”

We’re heading deep into the murky underworld of 20th-century organised crime, tracing how Sicilian immigrants in the 19th century built some of the most ruthless criminal syndicates the world has ever seen.

This series zeroes in on the Italian-American Mafia, but we’ll also touch on the Jewish, Irish, and Italian crime families that shaped America’s criminal landscape.

In Part Two, we cover:

🔫 The Valentines Day Massacre - How a fateful day in Chicago turned the world against Mobsters like Al Capone

💼 The Evolution of the Mob - How Charlie "Lucky" Luciano pulled the Five Families together to create the National Crime Syndicate and The Commission.

🎬 Mob Legends - Stories of real-life bosses, gangs, and mobsters who became pop-culture icons, like Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Arnold Rothstein, Murder Inc, John Gotti and more...

We also play a fun game of Fact or Fiction: Mobster edition!

Grab a pint and join us for a wild rollercoaster ride through the world of American thuggery, power plays, and the shadowy empire of the Mafia.
