Really? no, Really?

The Mafia, Their Museum + What the Godfather Got Wrong!


Listen Later

Mafia bosses recently apologized and offered reparations to the parents of a man whom they mistakenly killed and then dissolved in acid. Really, no really!

How do you mistakenly dissolve the wrong guy…can’t you just double check their identity on Google or Facebook? And is it now proper etiquette for mobsters to admit and then apologize for their mistakes? Is this part of a new “woke” Mafia in 2023?

We began to wonder if popular conceptions of how the mob operates were even accurate. And what’s behind our continued fascination with the Mafia, gangster movies and real-life murderous sociopaths? We needed to find out.

This journey required a bona fide mob expert and that’s why we reached out to journalist, author and VP at The Mob Museum in Las Vegas, Geoff Schumacher.

 

In this discussion you’ll learn:

  • The real Mafia code.
  • Was Frank Sinatra really connected?
  • Joan River’s shocking mob warning.
  • The mistake both Al Capone and John Gotti made.
  • The Hollywood movies that get the Italian Mafia right.
  • Jason passed “The Mafia Test” – Can you?
  • Real-life mobster’s opinions on The Mob Museum.
  • The Mafia’s surprising interactions with the LGBTQ+ communities.
  • Younger, “iPhone obsessed” mobster’s effect on organized crime.
