@@theportugueselegend thank Arnold Rothstein for teaching them both to be so smart !!!! Honestly Meyer was already way smarter than Lucky , Rothstein always had to spank him over his knee till he finally smartened up

Great little detail showing Rothstein betting on his Pool game against Luciano. As a gambling addict, he was always chasing the thrill of winning/losing money.
Ehh. Boh. At the end of the question he says /acca/ meaning ‘here’ - “what’s the difference here” - which doesn’t really sound Italian (qui/qua) nor does it really sound Sicilian nor Napuletano. Nor any dialect I know of. It does sound Spanish tho. Gives him away. A single sound. Italian is tight and strict no matter which version or dialect is the matter. Spanish is more loose. It does sound Argentine dialect Spanish indeed. Rioplatense. For aquí Argentines say /aca/ The Sudacas/Sudakas in Buenos Aires/Uruguay slang.
I watched this show when it first came out, and I’m baffled they didn’t do a spin off leading into the 5 families. Major opportunity missed here wi th such great actors!
How is that even possible in 1920's to sign 500k life insurance policies? I know a lot of the stuff in the show is fiction, but 500k life insurance policy in 1920's sounds ridiculous.
I just realized that Luciano asks to excuse himself to go pee here after being disgruntled with who he has to answer to. Few seasons later he does the same thing but has joe the boss whacked. He realized that sometimes you have to take action
After seeing this I realize Arnold, although smart, would have made a wiser descision to have swapped Meyer and Lucky in both Chalky’s and Nicky’s first interactions. Both bosses and right hand men. It probably would have altered the whole show probably history if it had been fully documented.
I’m not sure what you’re basing that on. Only person that has audio recordings is Myer. Luciano and Rothstien do not. Nor is Capone and don’t let the stupid TH-cam videos fool ya. They’re all fake.
as a 45 year old asshole.. I can definitely say... "You young fellas, no appreciation for the art of conversation.." is one of the biggest lessons I'd sell to any "short pants" men out there.
@@user-xc3yb1vk2e no question is dumb. Dumb is usually the people who think they already know everything and those that insult strangers online just to make themselves feel big and important.
The first scene never made sense to me, why is an underling not only eating with the bosses but talking and interrupt them as well? now, I understand that Lucky later becomes a boss. but at this point he's just Rothstein's muscle. so, why wasn't he out by the car like Darmody and Capone were?
@@bytchpls No it wasnt. Youd be more broke, more homeless, more dirty, more hungry, life would be in VERY serious threat daily, and youd likely never live to see 30. Any thought outside the norm would get you beaten, youd work a shit factory job for ever, suffer through depression and wars. You must be such a stupid ass fucking kid to think youd want to live in the 20's just because youre upset about nothing. Seriously pay attention in school from now on and realize how well the fuck off you have it.

@@Daveyengland Actually I take that back. In the final season Vincent Piazza briefly gave me the real Luciano vibe. Stephen Graham, while great, was playing someone other than Capone.
Not just Benny. I just now noticed one of the brothers is the guy who played the heroin addict who translates for the Neapolitan hitmen who killed Rusty Millio.
I have traveled from the borough of Manhattan in the city of New York. Making it sound like he’s coming from the city of Oz sounding like he didn’t think chalky knew either of those areas existed 😂
I swear Lucky and Lansky needed a spin-off these two worked off each other so well!
I mean they were real people so I’m not sure a spin-off could work exactly

I know it so Jewish lmao
Lucky has a good one also.
Yeah, nothing says authentic like a Turkish actor born on Cyprus who grew up in England doing a Lower East accent.

I love how the shows characters of Charlie and Meyer went from being geeks trying to make it in the mafia to actual Godfathers by the end of the show.

"..can't blame a fellow for trying.."
Then the donkeys act like he’s reaching for a weapon like they didn’t just frisk him on screen 😂
Love how Chalky randomly turns into Omar & whips out his twin 45's 😂
" yo momma knows your wearing daddys sunday suite" LOL Priceless
When Benny is the boss among the d’Alessios you know it is a major f up
He's such a criminals mastermind he built a time machine just to go back and be boss in the 1920s.
benny managed to not get beaten up in this scene
that’s ChrisTUHfuh’s junkie friend too!!
yeah criminal mastermind benny fasio didnt get beaten up which i applaud @@natalieruegger9047
Great portrayal of Lucky Luciano....the best I have ever seen.
3:23 lol meyer went for the handshake so fast
Mackey Doyle's laugh kills me
To the day in A.C., on cold, lonely nights, if you listen real close....you can still hear his giggle echoing through the streets and boardwalks...

Rough stereotypical New York Italian accent. What's that thing with his eye though?
The play against the de' Alessio brothers was a beautiful move. They all got payout from them coming and going.
hard to put on over on benny fazio criminal mastermind
surprised to see Benny Fazio criminal mastermind working with Lucky lol
& Chrissie’s junkie friend too!!
Luciano was my favorit character
Amazing dialogue between characters. It’s immaculate. Whoever wrote this screen play is a true genius.
it’s Bennie Fazio & Chrissy’s junkie friend!!
Damn I knew I recognized that one! Crazy they gave a heroin addict the job of setting up the Phil leotardo hit.
Benny Fazio criminal mastermind!
“I gotta Piss 🚽 “ *Taps Cigarette 🚬Out On Ashtray * Luciano sure knows how to make a exit that’s for sure.

Why he made them sign it
That little look Meyer gives after the other guy mentioned a packard. He knows the game is up

Love the old school New Yorker gangster slang. My friends love it when I do my Meyer Lansky voice. Gets glasses of whiskey well filled.
My friends HATE IT when I do Mickey Doyle's voice lol. And when I do Chalkys I just get my ass kicked.
The very best cast TV show. EVER. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 hands down best!
Facts but so is Breaking Bad & Sons Of Anarchy & The Wire also !!!! All those shows have perfect casting
Meyer Lansky: STRAIGHT GANGSTER!!!
Ehhh
Who knew Benny Fazio and Corky Caporale were brothers 😮
great performance's.the cigarettes' got best supporting actor.
Nucky understood that four fives beats your full house.
Rothstein ended up breaking even between the D’Alessio brothers and Nucky’s payoff 😂
Great point
If there's anything to be learned from Boardwalk, it's that good manners costs nothing. 😂
It’s a genius and faint detail…but when Leo is signing the insurance policy, how he holds the pen speaks to his lack of education.
Butchy and Animal Blundetto.

Man these accents are thick and on point.

Ohhhhh, that’s Benny from ‘The Sopranos’.
& Chrissy’s junkie friend too!
Nice to see animal Blundetto's origin story
When Chalky strangled that man to DEATH
Sopranos meets the wire, fun fact both series ran at the same time.
Wow Lansky wanted to give chalky 10,000 bucks in 1920 I was like giving him the equivalent of 160,000 today! Got a love inflation
R.i.p
Mr white.
If you guys notice how Meyer and Charlie speaks as though they finish eaxh others' sentences... That's how exactly how it was described in real life.
i love the background music so much anyone know what it is
Yo momma know you out wearing your daddy’s Sunday suit

Hey look...the three stooges!
The 1.5 mil for the 3 life insurance policies, would equate to about 20.6 mil $ in today's currency.

Arthur Buco was right when he called Bennie Fazio a criminal mastermind 😂

If you can get people to sign life insurance forms for half a million back then why bother with alcohol?
Because he wouldn't be able to constantly cash them in without suspicion (even though he owns the company

Isn't that DOOGIES buddy ?
And Christafa's friend Benny???

Smuggle it ashore.
Meyer was 18 historical in this timeline he looks like a proper adult lol

Im from Atlantic City and I know where these places are

Benny from the sopranos looks very old.
It’s a few years after the show ended
🌸OWO, would you look at that I'm the 99 comment, I feel very proud of myself for making it here lol☺️🌸
What the hell accent does lansky have? Sounds like a mixture of British, Polish, and brooklyn accents.
the actor is english-turkish.
rl-meyer lansky was a polish-russian american jew so having a weird accent tracks imo
Thats a New York accent. New York has a variety of different accents after all.
Yeah to be fair Lansky would’ve had a weird accent to begin with.
@greenmachine5600 not in the 1920s dude. You'd notice almost immediately.
