Just found this podcast and the host is amazing, actually lets the guest talk and completely finish. finally nice to listen to something without an interruption every 30 seconds.
An incredible Interview and story. I've spent time as a minister working with the biker world and others that have gotten lost in the pain and spiritual loneliness of the darker side of life. I have lived the darker side of life as well. Mel's testimony is a real treasure. Mel's testimony makes me feel thankful I chased after God and people in pain. No money there for a street minister and I'm fairly poor but I feel grateful and blessed. Thank you for this polite and respectful interview.
My company sent him some hot sauce, and he was the sweetest guy, even gave us a shout out on Instagram… I’m very thankful for him GOD BLESS MEL CHANCEY!!!
@@johnnyripple8972 its also called discipline.. Strain theory dont say "criminal choose crime because they are shit people" it says "our environment and its shortcomings creates strain, that strain creates the avenue for people even consider crime as an option" do yourself a favour, dont judge a book by its cover, and dont throw stones.. It makes you look weak. Plus its unappealing, it doesn't convince many people.
Mel is one of the nicest, coolest, inspirational and most genuine guys I have ever met. I don't know him that good but I have seen him around town and at my old job many times and talked with him for a little while each time. The first couple times I actually didn't even know who he was and what he used to do. He was just a cool guy and random conversations got started
I actually worked at the county jail where Mel chancy was being held at the Peoria county jail. If memory serves me right Mel was in either sp3 or sp4 ! Very nice gentleman even then !! Very cool to see him changing lives now. Especially with Veterans! As a vet myself. This is very cool !!
Great video. I’m a retired Detective Police Captain from San Diego. I always liked the Hell’s Angels. Never have a problem.Great Guys and a lot of Veterans.❤
Not going to lie, I started this interview with every intention to judge this man. Like I am any better. But wow he isn't what I expected, a very humbling experience
Wow This is the second Podcast I have seen of Mel. I can relate with what he has gone through as I have done a lot of the same things growing up with the Lord looking over me. I know he had a tear in his eye every time I was locked up but he never left my side. Mel is a baby as I am 72 and God is right beside me today. I still love the sound of the Harleys but I would take an old knucklehead any day. God Bless all.
I'm from Pittsburgh (Pagan territory) Mel is respected heavily and feared. Hate or love him, you can only respect the man for all he's been through and found God. God bless brother's
@@censoredrecon4029 pagans, outlaw's, breed and even angel's, it's a different chapter from Detroit,Philadelphia,NY,NJ there's more club's on the east coast that ended up merging, but it's all about business and real 1%ers will ride anywhere with the bro's and from Maine to Florida is a straight shot down the highway
I had an old boss who ran a lil small business who use to be a Pagan enforcer out of Oregon.. dudes temper to this day is wicked he’s a tough ol fuckin bastard. A real mans man but god his stories were incredibly interesting to hear. I worked with him a while before we actually got close with him and his family before I started hearing about it from all them. He was a some degree black belt and was all into that mma shit also.. Random I know this comment just flipped a switch and reminded me of those times hahah
This is hands down the best interview I’ve ever seen. I’ve been a fan of Mel for years thru the bodybuilding community and watching his day in the life on RX muscle. His story is one of the most inspiring stories I’ve heard. Thank you for what you do for the bodybuilding world sir.
Great UA-cam recommendation of Mel Chancey we need him to do a podcast with Michael Franzese because their stories of them both living the street life and both having a second chance at redemption and helping others.
I've been on test now for 3 years. Absolutely a game changer. I feel better look better and I even was able to get off antidepressants. The results may very per individual but it increased my quality of life tremendously. God bless you two.
I feel for this guy because as I'm honest and loyal and I've gotten thrown out under the bus many times. I took ownership of my mistakes and my punishment, from a kid up to an adult I have. What do you do though. Great story and mad respect.
Wow, completely blown away. The journey that took you to the place you're at now. Mel, I appreciate your story and words of wisdom. Nick, you out did yourself on this one. This will be one to remember.
Thanks for being brave enough to tell your life story Mel,the good and the bad parts.This hopefully will make a positive difference with others who have gone down a bad road as well.
He was very nice about the way he handled his situation and he is very respectful and impressive and very kind and loyal to his family and his friends I’m happy to see that he’s doing well and that he’s getting a lot of support from his family and friends good luck with your future
Cool story, thank you for sharing. I grew up in Chicagoland also and dealt with the gang lifestyle of the 90's. By the Grace of God my life turned around and I appreciate the courage it takes to share your journey Mel. God Bless #onelove
Absolutely glued to this podcast, just an incredible witness for the lord. At 49 and a cancer patient I'm really interested in this hormone therapy, after my first my second stint of chemo I have pretty much lost all interests in sex my wife left me for a younger guy, we're back together now but because of this podcast I'm checking it out. Thank you!
Mel When I saw your 1st podcast I got it im10 yrs clean 2plus sober your Shine is so clear I spent 30 plus yrs in streets 60 in May. The phrase u said facing unknown I do it more these Days bless u
Wow, I can relate to so much in this story! From the lifestyle to the degradation, to the humility. I can relate to having an amazing woman in my corner, to HRT. In 2009 God delivered me from my lifestyle ! Living my Best life!! God Bless you my Brothers. Keep doing his work !
That’s pretty cool! I haven’t lived that life, but I had a bad 7 year stretch strung out, trying to teach, coach, be there for my wife and kids. God saved my life and family. It’s not hard to get mixed up in things you never intended
I really liked listening to Mel, his stories, emotions....he gives this feeling that he's a smart, upstanding guy....surely we all make some choices and mistakes that gets us in trouble this way or that but realising and taking action to be better in life...that's all that matters.
Stumbled across this video. Talk about a huge motivation. Hope the documentary gets aired if on Netflix in Canada. As I’ve always had a passion for the gym, but just recently got out of the game. Went back into it for a couple months after being away from it for 2 year. It got so bad I was almost killed over something I didn’t have anything to do with. I’ve managed for the most part to calm situations down. But I too have begun finding my peace with the lord. I tell people my story and get told I’m an inspiration. Mel is definitely an inspiration
@@ericbutler739 thanks for the words! I am focused heavily now on my gym routines, and staying on a path with the lord. Got paperwork in for the army. But am also tempted to try to get into acting. 295lbs semi lean build
I was heavily involved in Politics and big business back in NY and I can honestly say some of the Worst most wicked criminals are the ones you would least expect like politicians, judges, law enforcement agents on the local, county, state, and federal levels....it's a shame but very, very true... hopefully within time the truth will be unveiled and the Beast system will crumble before our eyes.
This guy is fulla shit. Lying thru' his teeth! U can not patch up in 2 yrs then become a boss in another 2 🤣 it takes atleast 10 to earn a patch! I done federal time with many real bikers including the crew this guy is claiming- lived with them in the same range same cell block for a long time. Ain't no intelligence in being that old and still telling tall tales lmmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hulk Hogan was very kind to my son when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1990 (doctors said he wouldn't survive 5 years)....... He's almost 40 now. Please thank Terry from a grateful mom. Prayer works! ❤️❤️❤️
This is the most amazing interview I've ever seen! There's nothing more beautiful than hearing a former criminal speak of the mercies of God, & his coming to the Lord. God bless and keep you brother in Christ. ✌❤ from Canada
I went to a outdoor music festival. Big bike heavy loaded with camping gear. Riding through the camping (on a gradient) ground the bike slid out from underneath me. It was a H.A. patched member who helped right the bike. Thank you dude.
One of the few biker interviews where they guy isn't consumed with acting like some monster tough guy and can actually speak like a human being, as a result he's believable.
@Avalanche2 💯. People who don’t know people from the 1% will never understand your comment and make themselves look stupid. 🙏💪💯. I could listen to Mel every day!
I was locked up with Mel when I was 19 in Henry County jail. He was being g held there federally. He was so cool and nice. He acted like a father. Some times jokingly. He kept us in high spirits.
My hats off to you Mel , everyone living the life have different stories yet the same , the big secret is to actually realize we are a product of the people we surround ourselves with .
These guys are inspirational to a guy like me. I can listen to an ex hells angel about christ. And a veteran about improving your life. More than a guy in a suit and tie, who never lived a criminal life, or an addiction, or serving our country. These guys are for real
Everybody has their struggles. No matter where they came from or how much money they have or what their occupation is. You can learn a lesson from every person you meet whether you realize it or not.
Gotta love the Italians I was raised Italian I'm half Pollock but lived an Italian life till this day he's right about Italian dinners even when my friends would stop by my Nana's house Wich I lived and was raised by her she'd make pasta and beatballs and sausage with it and we staid and all ate everytime she cooked she loved just to hear how good her cooking was God rest her sole.
Awesome episode. I stumbled on this by accident and glad I did. Great host and awesome guest. This guest is a men’s man. They don’t make them like they used to. Nothing but respect for both gentlemen. 👍👍
I’m 54, have done a lot of things, maybe not to Mel’s level. One thing that hit me was, I started knowing God, and slid away for many years. One day I picked up my Bible and began reading again. Funny thing was that I wasn’t just reading, all of a sudden, I understood. I wasn’t just reading, I understood what I was reading!!! Just like Mel, God opened my mind. I say every day to people I talk to God about, it fine that you don’t have my faith, when God wants you to understand, he will explain it to you! Thanks guys, this video made my evening!
Man thank you for sharing the LORD and how he moved in your life. I can totally relate. Especially to that "alone time" God uses our mistakes to teach us and draw us to him. All things work together for the good☝️🙏
Right on, brotha! Such an inspiring story, sir. I don't know u from tomorrow but I'm proud of ya growth, brotha. May God continue to bless you on your journey, brotha Mel.
@Repent or you will likewise perish. funniest thing…just got off the phone with Jesus. He said and I quote “ I ain’t repentin’ shit mo’fukka! ” then hung up on me…anyways I think hes black…
How the hell this is not a movie is beyond me, and a far as I'm concerned this guy is so legit, no on 2nd thought if he hasn't written a book someone please give this gentleman a pen. One of the best interviews I've ever watched.
Came into this video for the Hells Angels bit so i was not prepared for Melissa Jarboe to come up. I served with Jamie in Afghanistan and was there for the whole ordeal. This is a perfect example of how comeplete strangers are only a few degrees from good friends. Maybe this is just rambling but keep doing what youre doing. Both of you! Thanks for the great hour and a half.
Great info on the hormone replacement and having a balanced endocrine system and metabolism. I will be 75 next spring, very fit, healthy and strong RVN vet from 68/69 on the Cambodian border war zone D and have lived an incredible life. Thanx for all the info and reinforcemenof how I live.
There are so many brothers that left the life to come to the Lord Jesus. I have found another one. I was a Texas guy so you can imagine the people I was around. Praise to the most high.
Great podcast. Humble man and a good example of the fundamentals of religion, God is powerful and submitting to the Almighty is is necessary to move in the right direction. His story reminds me of how lucky I am to be alive, healthy and providing for my children. Growing up living the fast life and surviving is not like working hard and being loyal to God. No one wants to die under bad terms, getting right with God and all the people we have hurt is essential to making the amends needed to put the past in the past. Glad you made it Mel. Keeping it real is only possible with the truth and accepting the mistakes of the past, then doing our best to teach the younger generation not to give up and that its never too late to be a good person, a good father, a good Christian, good American, and a good example for others. You are helping others by sharing your life experience, thank you for sharing.
In the 1970s when I was an 18 year old girl I worked until 2am at 7/11 while I was going to college and I felt the safest whenever a group of Hell’s Angels came in to get beer…They were super protective of me
Listening to this, you can just see how Satan was right there guiding Mel on the path to destruction, but God was also there. Through all the bad years, God spared his life, knowing that the time would come for him to turn back to God. You just see the patience and kindness of God. Many of us know that if we had died in our dark years we would have been lost, but God showed us great grace and mercy and prevented us from dying in our sins.
Mel, you and I are the same age and I have to tell you that I can relate to your story because I had to go through some serious trials and tribulations to become the man I am today. Thanks for your story and inspiration.
Ty I Enjoyed listening and I learned a few things !!! 🇮🇹👍 I just want to share with mel that I had issues similar . And everyone said I couldn't do it? Nobody had faith in me. My uncle told my dad I was to far gone!! 22 years later ive been walking the straight and narrow!!! I use intellect over emotion. So I also changed people places and things.
Man thank you for 1 hell of a story///// god helped you I see that, & you sir are a great storyteller. Thank you for being a real person with no bullshit.
My father in law won a 1946 Whizzer from the HA in an abate raffle, this was 2003-04 and we drove to the Chicago clubhouse to pick it up and that was awesome and terrifying at the same time, the President was a guy named Eddie, just curious if he is still president or what, they were SUPER cool especially when a friend of my father in law spilled his beer on their pool table😬 but it was an accident and they didn’t kick the shit out of us
I was in the motorcycle business years back and knew Eddie . Probably one of the coolest guys I've ever met . The type of guy that commands respect but never says a word . As soon as I started watching this he popped into my head.
I could really relate to staying off the Motorcycle. I was living a hard drug and alcohol infested life from bar to bar on a Motorcycle. I had a near death experience and was afraid that if I started riding again I would fall back into the Lifestyle. After 10 years I bought a Motorcycle again and now I'm okay with it. I still have to watch where I go and who I rife with because it can all come back instantly.
You have discovered that the bike isn't the problem. I am done riding now, nearly 70 and had enough. Always called myself a motorcyclist,not a biker. Rode enough to see the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans. Mexico is a blast on a bike too. Anyhow it's the people you spend your time with, not the ride. The ride is what frees your spirit and makes one feel alive. Peace be with You!
Good man. Before and after. I’m the first to admit that if something feels good to me. Watch out lol. I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict. Haven’t had any alcohol for over 8 years. The drugs I take are prescribed and I turn them in so I don’t think their M&M’s 😬 . And vape. Stopped cigarettes over 4 years ago. Long story short I believe we all need some release in this crazy world. I probably will never stop nicotine. Hardest thing I ever tried so when vaping came along it was like a Godsend. I saved money and still got nicotine lol. But I listened to this whole show and I’m happy for you that your doing well👍🏻 I was lucky enough to have a good upbringing myself. Parents took me to church when I was very young but I started turning into Damien from the OMEN lol . I’ve said the sinners prayer million times. Backslid a ton, but he’s always there and by the Grace of God I’m still kicking. Stay safe big guy. God bless
Awesome interview that’s for real different places different faces but the truth here is for real to so many - I’m 65 took my first shot a smack at 12 yrs old NYC found the Lord the same way didn’t know what to say and said something real familiar “God if your there how all this happen” - thank you thank you thank you Lord and Thank you Brother such true words 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love how he says how he was raised the Cleavers..my Dad too RIP, also born in Chicago Illinois ended up in San Bernardino CA ..go figure..great broadcast❤❤
@@projectc.j.j3310 Nah, I think more to do with having the Govt being seen to always follow lawful procedure, being completely transparent, and wholly anti-corruption within their own Agencies as well.
@@rogerdodger6025 Exactly, the government is the enemy of the people, the biggest threat to humanity. Especially now with the merger of big corporations and state. I don’t get how people can support these bastards in today’s world, their crimes against humanity have come to light and yet they still suck up to them.
Mel is a very articulate story teller. Could listen to him all night. When's the book coming out, Mel?? I'm definitely into getting a copy of that. Needs to be done, Dude. Needs to be done!!
Same here brother, I turned my life around after 35years. Turned to spirituality and haven’t looked back. I’m 46 now
35 hard for me as well.Unfortunately alot is irreversable and unable to work now or get much going -(forward).Grattitude does carry me through.
Just found this podcast and the host is amazing, actually lets the guest talk and completely finish. finally nice to listen to something without an interruption every 30 seconds.
Same here just found this podcast and couldn’t stop watching.

Rode w Mel back in the day.
Stand up guy.
Saved my life twice. Wrecked my bike both times. Got kicked out of club shortly later
Lollll
LMAO YOU SHOULD OF JOINED THE WILD HOGZ
Mel was a different leader. He was able to connect on an emotional level with his guys. on top of being organized and articulate. Love that guy
Great interview, hell of a story.
That’s why it’s called organized crime.

Mel is such an excellent story teller, he needs to write a book or a movie deal .
Fuck that. Dumb
Agree 💯
oh he will since hes also an excellent bullshitter.
No, he needs to take a stroll in to the desert.
I ABSOLUTELY believe there will be a movie if he's in support of it...💪🇺🇸💪

@Avalanche2 💯. People who don’t know people from the 1% will never understand your comment and make themselves look stupid. 🙏💪💯. I could listen to Mel every day!
I was locked up with Mel when I was 19 in Henry County jail. He was being g held there federally. He was so cool and nice. He acted like a father. Some times jokingly. He kept us in high spirits.
@@xObscureMars Read and think once again please..
Good video. Nice to see this guy turned things around, maintained his integrity and is doing well.
My hats off to you Mel , everyone living the life have different stories yet the same , the big secret is to actually realize we are a product of the people we surround ourselves with .
Lol the big secret
One of my mates always said you can tell the strength of a man by the company he keeps
@@jamesgraham-qi7mgwow that hit the spot. I don’t think he would want blacks Asian in his neighborhood
That guy seems awesome I hope life is good to him! Sounds like he's had an amazing life tbh
Thank you for sharing your heart and being vulnerable Nick. Following Christ is the most badass gang you can ever be a part of.
Hallelujah sister!!
These guys are inspirational to a guy like me. I can listen to an ex hells angel about christ. And a veteran about improving your life. More than a guy in a suit and tie, who never lived a criminal life, or an addiction, or serving our country. These guys are for real
Everybody has their struggles. No matter where they came from or how much money they have or what their occupation is. You can learn a lesson from every person you meet whether you realize it or not.
Was hoping to hear a podcast where mel didn't get interupted he has awesome stories.
This interview was great. Watched one where Mel was constantly interrupted and it was very annoying.
@@bobfallis was looking fo this comment I hope this is a good one!
That was a really great podcast. Alot guys need the brotherhood aspect. I've been looking since I got out in 16 and I've never found it anywhere else.
Gotta love the Italians I was raised Italian I'm half Pollock but lived an Italian life till this day he's right about Italian dinners even when my friends would stop by my Nana's house Wich I lived and was raised by her she'd make pasta and beatballs and sausage with it and we staid and all ate everytime she cooked she loved just to hear how good her cooking was God rest her sole.
Awesome episode. I stumbled on this by accident and glad I did. Great host and awesome guest. This guest is a men’s man. They don’t make them like they used to. Nothing but respect for both gentlemen. 👍👍
In a society that tries to tear real men down. Men like this are real important.
@@bigbobbitchinii123 lol what makes a “real” man exactly? You don’t need to take steroids, join a gang or blow people up to be man you know.
So excited to hear a new Mel interview! Such a cool guy with a fascinating story.
I’m 54, have done a lot of things, maybe not to Mel’s level. One thing that hit me was, I started knowing God, and slid away for many years. One day I picked up my Bible and began reading again. Funny thing was that I wasn’t just reading, all of a sudden, I understood. I wasn’t just reading, I understood what I was reading!!! Just like Mel, God opened my mind. I say every day to people I talk to God about, it fine that you don’t have my faith, when God wants you to understand, he will explain it to you! Thanks guys, this video made my evening!
💯❤️
👆 THIS 💛
WHEN WE'RE REALLY READY, HE'S RIGHT THERE 💯
Fantasy bollocks.
I didn’t know who Mel Chancey was until I seen this podcast. Seem like the Most Coolest Dude ever. Loved The Podcasts.
Shout out guys...my company did the millwork at ur Chicago corporate joint. I was the project manager. I love what you guys are doing fantastic work
Man thank you for sharing the LORD and how he moved in your life. I can totally relate. Especially to that "alone time"
God uses our mistakes to teach us and draw us to him. All things work together for the good☝️🙏
I really like to listen to Mel he’s such a stand up dude. Can’t wait for the Documentary!
There is gonna be a doc on the Angel
@@SteezHooligan yeah hopefully it comes out soon he was talking about it in the interview
Right on, brotha! Such an inspiring story, sir. I don't know u from tomorrow but I'm proud of ya growth, brotha. May God continue to bless you on your journey, brotha Mel.
Blows my mind how smart and cool these Club leaders are, makes you wonder what they truly can accomplish outside the clubs
If you move up fast your making the most money he mist likely killed and sold tonnes of cock by the pallet.
He is so well spoken. He would have been a success in literally any business.
I never heard of either of these guys, in fact not even sure why I clicked on it. I can relate so much to Mel. CLASS ACT
Every Hells Angels I have ever met was like this gentleman. Straight forward and honest
When they see a Mongol what do you think they wish they could do?
Mel your testimony hit's hard. Thank you for sharing it. God Bless You!
South Florida here D.B. Man I’m glad I found this podcast. Great host and excellent guest.
That guy is fascinating, he comes off like such a stand up guy, too
Anyone who thinks nice people are weak is gonna have a hard time w/Mel.
It says a lot when the youngest guy in the club is trusted and respected by all of the older members. That’s damn impressive!
Hell of an interview, no pun intended obviously. Had me hooked instantly
wa waaaa 🔥
@Repent or you will likewise perish. funniest thing…just got off the phone with Jesus. He said and I quote “ I ain’t repentin’ shit mo’fukka! ” then hung up on me…anyways I think hes black…
This was a great interview highlighting a wonderful testimony.
Good to see Mel's doing great, used to lift with him in the 90's at the Golds gym in Orland Park, IL.
Mel is the Man....!! So thankful for all he does for others and all the awesome things he does for the sport.
How the hell this is not a movie is beyond me, and a far as I'm concerned this guy is so legit, no on 2nd thought if he hasn't written a book someone please give this gentleman a pen. One of the best interviews I've ever watched.
Too bad it's all bullshit
They have pc laptops and tablet to write with now before that typewriter so no need for a pen as I’m sure he has arthritis from the throttle hand
This episode was heaven sent. Need the TRT, love the testimony. In Florida 👍
Came into this video for the Hells Angels bit so i was not prepared for Melissa Jarboe to come up. I served with Jamie in Afghanistan and was there for the whole ordeal. This is a perfect example of how comeplete strangers are only a few degrees from good friends. Maybe this is just rambling but keep doing what youre doing. Both of you! Thanks for the great hour and a half.
Great info on the hormone replacement and having a balanced endocrine system and metabolism. I will be 75 next spring, very fit, healthy and strong RVN vet from 68/69 on the Cambodian border war zone D and have lived an incredible life. Thanx for all the info and reinforcemenof how I live.
Welcome home good sir. Hope all is well for ya
There are so many brothers that left the life to come to the Lord Jesus. I have found another one. I was a Texas guy so you can imagine the people I was around. Praise to the most high.
Great podcast. Humble man and a good example of the fundamentals of religion, God is powerful and submitting to the Almighty is is necessary to move in the right direction. His story reminds me of how lucky I am to be alive, healthy and providing for my children. Growing up living the fast life and surviving is not like working hard and being loyal to God. No one wants to die under bad terms, getting right with God and all the people we have hurt is essential to making the amends needed to put the past in the past. Glad you made it Mel. Keeping it real is only possible with the truth and accepting the mistakes of the past, then doing our best to teach the younger generation not to give up and that its never too late to be a good person, a good father, a good Christian, good American, and a good example for others. You are helping others by sharing your life experience, thank you for sharing.
God must hate Ukrain
"VENI, VIDI, VICI''
Pure grit man, that is one hell of a story brother. Your life is a badass action movie, I'm sold on a ticket when it comes out.
In the 1970s when I was an 18 year old girl I worked until 2am at 7/11 while I was going to college and I felt the safest whenever a group of Hell’s Angels came in to get beer…They were super protective of me
Listening to this, you can just see how Satan was right there guiding Mel on the path to destruction, but God was also there. Through all the bad years, God spared his life, knowing that the time would come for him to turn back to God.
You just see the patience and kindness of God. Many of us know that if we had died in our dark years we would have been lost, but God showed us great grace and mercy and prevented us from dying in our sins.
Mel, you and I are the same age and I have to tell you that I can relate to your story because I had to go through some serious trials and tribulations to become the man I am today. Thanks for your story and inspiration.
What inspiring man, I am so glad UA-cam recommended this video to me
Inspired you to become a gang criminal?
Ty I Enjoyed listening and I learned a few things !!! 🇮🇹👍
I just want to share with mel that I had issues similar . And everyone said I couldn't do it? Nobody had faith in me. My uncle told my dad I was to far gone!! 22 years later ive been walking the straight and narrow!!! I use intellect over emotion. So I also changed people places and things.
Man thank you for 1 hell of a story///// god helped you I see that, & you sir are a great storyteller. Thank you for being a real person with no bullshit.
You guys are both legends in your own light an this podcast was top notch Mels story telling was awesome!
Criminals lol UR glorifying a murderous child porn meth making subhuman This is stupid
My father in law won a 1946 Whizzer from the HA in an abate raffle, this was 2003-04 and we drove to the Chicago clubhouse to pick it up and that was awesome and terrifying at the same time, the President was a guy named Eddie, just curious if he is still president or what, they were SUPER cool especially when a friend of my father in law spilled his beer on their pool table😬 but it was an accident and they didn’t kick the shit out of us
Cool stroy bro rule of thumb no beers 🍺 on the tables lol I would have been like oh shit .....
I was in the motorcycle business years back and knew Eddie . Probably one of the coolest guys I've ever met . The type of guy that commands respect but never says a word . As soon as I started watching this he popped into my head.
@@michaelblack1925 I was like oh shit!
I could really relate to staying off the Motorcycle. I was living a hard drug and alcohol infested life from bar to bar on a Motorcycle. I had a near death experience and was afraid that if I started riding again I would fall back into the Lifestyle. After 10 years I bought a Motorcycle again and now I'm okay with it. I still have to watch where I go and who I rife with because it can all come back instantly.
You have discovered that the bike isn't the problem. I am done riding now, nearly 70 and had enough. Always called myself a motorcyclist,not a biker. Rode enough to see the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans. Mexico is a blast on a bike too.
Anyhow it's the people you spend your time with, not the ride. The ride is what frees your spirit and makes one feel alive.
Peace be with You!
Good man. Before and after. I’m the first to admit that if something feels good to me. Watch out lol. I’m a recovering alcoholic and addict. Haven’t had any alcohol for over 8 years. The drugs I take are prescribed and I turn them in so I don’t think their M&M’s 😬 . And vape. Stopped cigarettes over 4 years ago. Long story short I believe we all need some release in this crazy world. I probably will never stop nicotine. Hardest thing I ever tried so when vaping came along it was like a Godsend. I saved money and still got nicotine lol. But I listened to this whole show and I’m happy for you that your doing well👍🏻 I was lucky enough to have a good upbringing myself. Parents took me to church when I was very young but I started turning into Damien from the OMEN lol . I’ve said the sinners prayer million times. Backslid a ton, but he’s always there and by the Grace of God I’m still kicking. Stay safe big guy. God bless
Wow. What a great guy! Fascinating story, what a life, successful businessman. God bless him🙏
Awesome interview that’s for real different places different faces but the truth here is for real to so many - I’m 65 took my first shot a smack at 12 yrs old NYC found the Lord the same way didn’t know what to say and said something real familiar “God if your there how all this happen” - thank you thank you thank you Lord and Thank you Brother such true words 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Perfect bedtime story. I could listen to this guy talk for days.
Love this guy. What a life story. He is very motivational.
Mel knows I love him! God bless you brother 🙏
I love how he says how he was raised the Cleavers..my Dad too RIP, also born in Chicago Illinois ended up in San Bernardino CA ..go figure..great broadcast❤❤
Great podcast! Road has always put out 100% effort. Core medical is lucky to have him on the team.
Great podcast! Love the respectful dialogue. Nice to see and great draw for new subscribers! Tuning in on a regular basis now.
The federal government busting biker clubs for organized crime is the greatest oxymoron ever.
lol what do u expect there just to be no laws and counties
@@projectc.j.j3310 Nah, I think more to do with having the Govt being seen to always follow lawful procedure, being completely transparent, and wholly anti-corruption within their own Agencies as well.
@@projectc.j.j3310 The government are the biggest organized crime operation. I guess they don't like competition.
@@rogerdodger6025 Exactly, the government is the enemy of the people, the biggest threat to humanity. Especially now with the merger of big corporations and state. I don’t get how people can support these bastards in today’s world, their crimes against humanity have come to light and yet they still suck up to them.
@@seekndestroy8970 I become more of an anarchist everyday. They are killing us.
Thank you for putting this out there it greatly talks to me to better my walk. Thank you Mel !
True that " prayer is a state of mind " !!
I'm not a subscriber and not even sure how I ended up clicking on this one and listening. Really glad I did. Great interview. Thanks for sharing.
Same!
Mel is a very articulate story teller.
Could listen to him all night.
When's the book coming out, Mel??
I'm definitely into getting a copy of that. Needs to be done, Dude. Needs to be done!!
