I'm 67 and never understood how people who wanted to be the 1% who didn't follow the rules and stand apart seem to need to gather together in groups and have rules for everything.
You kinda don't understand it.
Even Lions have a pecking order.
I'm Robert de Niro in a Bronx tale
@@TheaKaSaToRi 10/4
@@TheaKaSaToRi Its a gang that acts like a club. They don't do shit! I'd call a couple of my buddies with AR-15s and get rid of them if they act tough
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 !!
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.
ROBERT; YOU have the greatest treasure one could find and that is Yeshua Hamashiach.
@@jimchumley7907 Thanks Jim. God bless ya brother.
Merry Christmas brother
I don't measure a man's riches by his wealth.
Thank You , even being poor people can still help , Your proof of that
What a great guy Mel is. I loved his genuine story telling. I hope God blesses him for his honesty.
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.
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.
Yeah, he speaks like Shawn Ryan from Vigilance Elite. Not like Jase from Gypsy Tales.
@DonaldJ Yeah, it's kinda one of those let me finish your sentence for you because you're taking too long deals...
Podcast? Looks like a video to me 🤷
@@blatneyev3740 people do it to mob guys all the time.
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
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.
@@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.
Scumbag criminal is a scumbag criminal. Boohoo life is hard. It s not my fault i chose a life of shame
Bless you Brother. RESPECT! GLAD TO SEE YOUR LIFE IS ON THE RITW TRACK!
MEL, for a guy who has struggled his whole life, you said something that changed my life, and I will forever be grateful for stumbling upon and hearing... "I just don't dip my toe in the pool!" I would have laughed and called bullshit.... but when I further listened, and heard you have not been on a bike since 2004!!! Testimony rang true. I have changed my life. I kept "dipping my toe" in the pool. You can ONLY be on ONE side of a coin at a time. You either ARE, or you ARN'T! I was bullshitting myself, I could change my ways, and stay in the same environment. I left many I love, and will ALWAYS care about. But you spoke truth... you cannot claim to, or expect true change, if you keep "dipping your toe" in the same old pools! Thank you Brother! EXAMPLE speaks louder than words. Thank you for reaching me, by WALKING the WALK, not just TALKING the TALK! God Bless Brother. God Bless. I pray your message and truth reach thousands, just as it reached me. Thank you again, for walking the walk, in the light of Christ.
Respect to you man, takes real humility to show that kind of respect ( and thats real, no bs.) stay strong mate✊
@@danielhogan6255 im a woman
even if you get out of the old pools.....it is still there....u think and act a certain way, have a certain way to solve problems...and I only spent bout 10 years being an outlaw-biker...took me fuckin 20 years to get rid of most these habits.....!!!! I am 62 this year.....If anybody offenses my family, still cant give you a guarantee, that this will end good for that anybody...sad truth
I met him at the prison in Danville as an officer. I was able to do a article on him for my criminal justice paper. Now I’m a retired army, Chaplain proud of you brother
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.
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!!!
I randomly stumbled upon this interview after never hearing of Mel Clancy before and watched it all in one sitting. What an interesting character he is. I googled old photos of him he was an absolute meathead back in his day 💪🏼 Great podcast and great interviewer letting his guest speak uninterrupted. Will definitely be listening to more
Same here brother, I turned my life around after 35years. Turned to spirituality and haven’t looked back. I’m 46 now
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 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.
Great video. Thanks for letting Mel Speak without unnecessary interruption. What a stand up, legit, genuine guy Mel is. Much respect Mel.
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 your testimony hit's hard. Thank you for sharing it. God Bless You!
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
Best way to talk to them is just as people and not what's on their back (patch/history).
Ppl also have delusions of cartel leaders are being nice ppl (wow these guys have so much respect!!!) Etc
@@fchampd4512 Uhhhh what?
@@fchampd4512 well...thats a stretch... Hells angels compared to cartel bosses? Jeez dude go outside🤣🤣
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.
Mel!!! The first celly I ever had in jail! Man it's cool seeing this. That dude is such a nice guy. Glad you're doin well Mel!!!
Your page is wild man 🤣
I don't know if I believe you.
True story 👍👁👍
@Johnny Sins lol how would I do that 😂 he was tho lol
@Johnny Sins
Why would anybody lie about that? And why would anybody care?
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.
Ed Kozeluh rip. Always great to see individuals change their lives, may god guide you all the way!
Very powerful testimony. What a story. Nick does a good job of letting him talk and tell his story.
So excited to hear a new Mel interview! Such a cool guy with a fascinating story.
Love this podcast! I was in the MC world myself. I believed once I was "out bad" that I could not flourish. I have learned that is not the case! Loved hearing that I am not the only one that is or has lived that....
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.
Great learnings. Huge respect for this man and his strength of character. He has what all such men possess; An aura. Thank you both. ATB from this old-school '50's Cornishman.
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...💪🇺🇸💪
Good video. Nice to see this guy turned things around, maintained his integrity and is doing well.
Very charismatic dude, obviously sharp as heck too. I can easily see why he would get a leadership post in any organisation he cares to join, and would be killing it doing the job. Cheers!
Never had it so good, because we had it so bad...as a recovering alcoholic, Prayer is key man. Great work man
Great podcast! Love the respectful dialogue. Nice to see and great draw for new subscribers! Tuning in on a regular basis now.
Thank you so much for the awesome stories. No one is telling them anymore. This was absolutely fascinating.
Thank you for putting this out there it greatly talks to me to better my walk. Thank you Mel !
I grew up in Orland and remember seeing him in the day. I have to say so happy to see him in a great place in life.
Always a pleasure hearing Mel Chancey, amazing story and an amazing story teller. 10/10 interview
Mel has the perfect voice for a radio broadcaster,sports announcer,WWE announcer etc.
Repent to Jesus Christ
“Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.”
Proverbs 16:24 NIV

Hi Mel!! So awesome to see you!! Great episode. I’m still in Chi town, Hope to head down!! Loyalty and Respect always
What a great podcast. Mel is a great story teller and a very interesting man. I wish him the best for the future. We need more like him.
geshse123
No we DON'T
Shut up these people are criminals and should be in prison
Yeah right story teller fits him
You idiots beleave everything you hear fools
Great interview. What a change, and I can see the passion you have to help others.
Great interview. Beautiful testimony, Mel. God bless your new Life!
Grew up with Mel and his family, , 💯 real, true family man and well respected!! God bless Mel! Kolin in the house.😎🍻
No you didn’t
wicked interview and surreal story.. great job u guys really inspiring listening to the turn around mel has made, good for u bro!!
Wow coming to this by accident I def wasn't expecting how this story would end up taking the direction it did. What a powerful testimony!
Amen to that! 🙏🏼 I too was nicely surprised.
Same here
In the early 80's, I spent a weekend at the Northwest 200 Road Race, which I'd done before, but this weekend we ended up hanging around with Hells Angels, the treasurer RJ, allowed it. THAT weekend I discovered that though I thought I was a bit of a tough lad, I was scared right out of my fkn skin. The H. A. we're exactly what I thought. Way too much for me. Blessings ever from Belfast.
Absolutely loved your format and the way you interview allowing guests to speak without interrupting. Very rare find!! Gained a new sub here. #Iowa 😈
I grew up literally 2 blocks from Mel. He was an absolute beast back in the day much respect my man!
Great podcast! Road has always put out 100% effort. Core medical is lucky to have him on the team.
I love hearing this story from " A real one", i could listen to these stories all day long!
A damn "real one" alright 🤦🤦♂️🤦🤦♂️🤦
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
Never heard of your podcast till now. Very refreshing dude keep up the good work!
This episode was heaven sent. Need the TRT, love the testimony. In Florida 👍
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.
Mel needs his own podcast. With that voice, the stories, the experiences....wow!!
What experience in the club for a whole ,, couple of years big phoney thrown out of 3:07
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.
@Sparkle Surprise 42
That's really great he turned his life around and changed all of the bad traits, that we're with him for so many years of his life.
Yes but how many lives do he negatively affect before he "decided" he'd had enough and turn his around. No sympathy for this clown.
The apostle Paul was as evil and anti christ as they come, yet when he found the light and salvation of Jesus Christ he repented and changed yet to this day the message of Christ has saved millions upon millions still is out there for the worst sinner !!!! Who you are in your past is in the past and Ive seen and witnessed the worst change for the best, Im one of them so judge less because if you or anybody on worth really got what they “ deserve “ you wouldnt be breathinh
What an incredible story, life and journey, this man had. Best part of it found the lord
This was awesome,such an interesting interview I couldn't stop watching.
This was a great interview highlighting a wonderful testimony.
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
I personally want to thank you for your redemption and for your stance. God bless your family and friends
You are a man of integrity, not to harm anyone. I can respect that.
Wow! How inspiring! I mean... Geez, life itself offers the wisdom of gaining contentment, but you have to seek the answers too many brothers fail to comprehend or accomplish. Personally, I look at my life and can see what my bad decisions wrought. And like a Tiger too young to understand what maturity offers, I too had an appetite for things that were unhealthy both physically and spiritually. And once I survived to this point in my old age, I can see the few brothers still here that gained that same perspective. Mel is one and although I don't know him, it is apparent we are brothers from another mother. Looking back, too many brothers who had potential succumbed to life's dead ends, and as a result, their flames were extinguished prior to their enlightenment. Another brother of our survivor's club, Bob Seger, wrote two songs of merit where the lyrics detail our perspective. One is "Against the Wind" and the other is "Like a Rock." The first describes his old age sitting next to his fireplace to warm his bones only to realize the time that escaped him over the years, and the other describes his tendency to avoid life's entanglements with men with nefarious intent and schemes and to stand tall above them to accomplish his noble cause. You can hear this wisdom among people like Mel who understand their journey and what it taught them, and how they were born to reach that moment of discernment.
For those of merit who are gone yet failed to gain the same, I pray for you in the hope it is of value. And I truly appreciate the stories of others who sought Jesus Christ and rest in peace prior to their deaths. To me, this is far more valuable than the pursuit of gaining the nonessentials many people die to accomplish. Mel's Italian background also offered the opportunity to know what is essential after many generations and their experiences. I know from my personal existence. What is truly essential and what everyone wants, is a good relationship with God and bask with his blessings, a good woman, family relations, the newborn babies that make it complete, and the discernment that makes it possible are the icing on the cake! Salute Mel, this one's for you, and despite your past demeanor and the sins you can't disclose, You, my friend, are on the right track. And I had the great opportunity to hear your story. Right or wrong, your discernment allows a new world to explore and it is a sad fact too many people yearned for but yet never reached that accomplishment. But we, my friend, are blessed enough to comprehend it and to live it. And I personally don't fear death. Why should I? After all, it is natural and a part of life. And I will live within my children and their children. Plus I feel I've met my purpose, plus, my soul consists of energy and energy can't fail to exist regardless of any attempts to change that.
This is crazy, I started this podcast and was really tired, I fell asleep about 20 minutes in while listening to it and I shit you not, the rest of the podcast played in my dreams. I immediately was having a dream that I was in this guys living room or something listening to and watching him and the host talk word for word. I was sleeping thru most of it but remember the whole damn thing!
That didn’t happen
What inspiring man, I am so glad RUclips recommended this video to me
Inspired you to become a gang criminal?
That guy seems awesome I hope life is good to him! Sounds like he's had an amazing life tbh
God bless ya brother. Happy to hear you let him in. I see you're prospering
Love this guy. What a life story. He is very motivational.
Mel is the Man....!! So thankful for all he does for others and all the awesome things he does for the sport.
Wow. What a great guy! Fascinating story, what a life, successful businessman. God bless him🙏
Not sure why this popped up in my recommended videos but I was intrigued by the Hells Angels aspect, as I ride. Very interesting interview with a crazy outcome. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing! Great interview.
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 amazing. Having the perspective gives living an ethical good life so much more appreciation
Your story is now there to inspire others to steer away from that lifestyle brother, stand proud.
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
Awesome podcast!! Love to here Mal, found his path, cant wait to see the show!!!
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
Find that peace brother, you were obviously chosen to follow the narrow path now that you are gaining wisdom.
@@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
What a fantastic interview. Great host and Mel is so great to listen to.
What a great story Mel
Keep up the good work
I was born in Chicago and grew up a similar lifestyle as you have. Thank God for his Grace And Mercy 🙌🏻🙏🏻
I was a Chicago kid myself ! And knew some of the Chicago henchman! But anyway , your an inspiration! As I became a member of a club! But thank you for your change in life and the helpfull tips!
South Florida here D.B. Man I’m glad I found this podcast. Great host and excellent guest.
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.
Dudes how the heck did I not find this podcast channel sooner, dig it. I grew up next to Alsip in Mokena Illinois late 70’s early 80’s. We’d get our plants etc at the Alsip Nursery. My Dad was Karate Bob.
I never watch stuff like this especially something over a hour long this story is really something I needed I think
New to this podcast but absolutely loved this. Great podcast and a top man with some great stories. 👍
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
Good to see Mel's doing great, used to lift with him in the 90's at the Golds gym in Orland Park, IL.
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
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.
I’m a big fan of redemption stories. I’m living one myself. Wasn’t always the good guy. You’re right about needing the right woman in the mix. There are some people from the past that will always see you as that bad guy, but all you can do is keep moving forward. I relate to the gym/juice life too. I love the honesty.
What do your victims think of you, those that are capable of communicating?
Finding "the right woman" is pretty much impossible these days thanks to marxist & feminist propaganda.
@@michaelbrinks8089 Defeatist, self-indulgent, victimhood hyperbole, the go too mindset for Incel's.
Trump Univ.?
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
Man thats so good to hear. Keep up the good work brother.
What an interview! This showed up in my recommendations, super glad it did. It's so damn important to make sure bodybuilders are being as safe as possible taking the performance enhanced route. Sadly so many are still dying so damn young. Hoping Core can make a difference.
Same here!
Very inspiring!!! Wow such a redemption story! The goodness shined through!!🙏🏻💪💪
Thank you for your testimony Mel, the intrest in your life story will help many hear it.
😮 I didn’t see the change over to faith dialog coming. I’m encouraged and impressed. Thank you for this podcast
I could listen to this guy talk for years. He tells his life story like former mafia guys I’ve heard on podcasts. There’s this rhythm they speak with that’s almost intoxicating.
Ya....its called bullshittig
@@nileist6666 what’s he bullshitting about? Lol. You don’t become the youngest leader of the Hells Angels without having a truly remarkable life and way with words and ppl
@@BostonsF1nest sick kid
@Storm Shadow that's three questions genius.
@Storm Shadow and you can't. Does that make us equal I fcking hope not dickhead
I remember reading his story in a magazine when I was at the dentist office lol. I knew I remembered his face. Crazy all these years later I see him on RUclips lol.
