Tracing its roots back to the 18th century Sicilian mafia, the American mob muscled its way to a $90 billion dollar a year criminal enterprise and is the subject of some of the most popular books, movies and tv shows in history. But the real story behind the mob's rise (and eventual fall) is even stranger than fiction. They helped create one of New York's most iconic gay bars. Much of the mob's success wouldn't be possible without the Hoover Dam? The mob even once collaborated with the C.I.A.! From Capone to Corleone, this is the fast history of the American mob.

When Eberhard Anheuser hired his son in law, Adolphus Busch, he had no idea they were going to create the most recognizable beer of all time. Budweiser. This is the story how they brewed a $30 billion empire. But would you believe that they're part of the reason beer goes hand in hand with baseball? Or that it in the 2000s they tried to make liquor? Or that their most famous mascot of all time landed them in the doghouse with the U.S. government? We better hop to it. This is the fast history of Budweiser.
