In this episode, we dig into the criminal underworld taking a closer look at the recent discovery of human remains at a reputed Gambino family burial ground 🦴🔍. We unravel the twisted tale of mobsters Alphonse "Sonny Red" Indelicato, Philip "Phil Lucky" Giaccone, and Dominick "Big Trin" Trinchera, and their ill-fated attempt to seize power in the crime world. From buried bones to Mafia betrayals, this episode exposes the murky depths of organised crime in New York 🗽💀.

We then pivot to a small Serbian village's innovative method of deterring wild boars—by blasting rock music from bands like AC/DC 🎸🐗. It’s a tale of unconventional solutions that has us wondering if a little noise can solve more than just farming problems.

Next up, we rewind to 2004 when a young Lionel Messi made his league debut for FC Barcelona ⚽🐐, sparking the beginning of one of the greatest careers in football history. From his first touches to his record-breaking feats, we chart Messi's rise from a 17-year-old substitute to a global icon 🌍🏆.

We also touch on the debut of Yelp, the platform that changed the way we review businesses ⭐️📱, and dive into the controversy surrounding Eminem’s video mocking Michael Jackson, which led to a fiery response from the King of Pop 🎤🔥.

Join us for a journey through crime scenes, sonic boar repellents, and football firsts. Don't miss it! 🎧✨
