I'm 51 days sober today, n although my life has been nothing like Mel's, it's great to be able to see guys like this turn their lives around and be so positive. Thanks, John n Mel! Good shit 💪
@SicMick I see this is 30 days olds congrats on 81 days SOBER !! I hope
I wish you all the best 51 days clean, you just keep going
Hope you're still at it those who've never been through a sick one don't understand how difficult it is. Wish you all the best
Congratulations on you're sobriety. I noticed that this comet is a couple minutes old now congratulations on your continued sobriety sobriety. Blessings Target
Good for you … NEVER QUIT QUITTING!.
The old saying “you don’t see any OLD gangbangers or OLD 1%’s” because they are either dead or in jail. So it’s good to see Mel and George talk about it but they don’t try to glamorize it in any way. To see men that have seen ALOT talk about their faith is awesome
Really hoping people realize that it was Jesus Christ who changed this mans life. What a testimony. Praise the Lord for his grace.
Amen bro. Jesus is Lord Jesus Saves!!
He was just scared and its the only way to get out alive
Amen! ( Wish the interviewer weren’t cussin’.)
Amen
This is the way * I'm not being facetious when I say that either.
When my uncle Jimmy Souza passed away my mom said even his enemies showed up at his funeral to pay respect, reminds me of this guy. My uncle was the president of the san francisco chapter back then but he still managed to show up at my school talent shows and functions like that. I had no idea how respected he was till I saw the pic of the motorcycles on the road for as far as the eyes could see for his funeral on the front page of the newspaper. Not too many solid ones like these guys in those ranks.
You thought you were gonna get mad likes for this, right? 🤣
@@PedroLeodisSo you are obsessed with likes?
@@tdevry I'm pretty sure I know what you're obsessed with!
@@PedroLeodis O yes.....please elaborate
Liar my uncle was the president
I had the privilege of meeting Mel this past weekend in SC. He's a great and humble man .
My dad (Charles Wilson aka Chico) was a member on the Dayton, Ohio HELLS ANGELS. My dads era was the most violent “1970-80s…Being his child I seen a lot growing up. I could of been a member, but I chose a different path. “rip Dad 🙏🏻” On another note, the Hells Angels were not ones to play with…These viewers are sleeping on this podcast. Definitely deserves more thumbs. It’s one of the best podcast in the space right now. The guest are on point and the conversation is the realest. I’m a huge fan! 🫡
Agree
I don't know I think the 90s was more violent
@@Elpepito170s-90s lol basic when the drug trade was thriving and corruption was a lot more prevalent
Facts...do not mess with any of these 1% clubs
I had a kid rep a biker game to me after he used my Lil bro to get him his fix.. we had a good talk after they got pulled Ober and he was on his way to jail
I love the Lord and the work He does thru people like this. I too have been a boil in the past, rejoicing in my iniquity and not ever realizing it. Today I rejoice in the Truth✝️
Wow stumbled on this by complete accident and really needed this message. God is great. Thanks Mel And Jon everyone have a fantastic day
Me too!! Loved riding my Motorcycle!!
Me to this was awesome
Wow this is crazy. I haven't thought about any of this in a long time. My aunt actually dated a Henchman when I was a kid. I've been through a lot, made a lot of bad choices and now I'm currently(49) on a journey to have a relationship with our Lord and savior and to see this and so many other things as I've been praying and noticing is so amazing and inspirational!!!
You will continue to experience great things.
Sounds like you have a relationship with God, it will keep growing. 💯👌🙏✝️😇🙏🏻🦋
Stand up guy. Respect from 🇬🇧 Jesus is king and nothing and no ones out of his reach🎉❤
I really appreciate the amount of respect between these two people who lived and experienced very different lives because of the reconciliation they went through as they grew… always inspiring
Thank goodness for God's grace. Anyone in christ is a new creation. The old has past away
Saved by Grace So powerful
1:56:14 when i found my girl dead two years ago I screamed out to My Rock God & swore I would stop shooting dope & start living my life & then I experienced her be healed thru death & organ failure & since then I live in love with God & have spiritual experiences with people in bottoms that are worth more than any riches & I get higher off energy than any drug could ever give me fam 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
You are on the right track 👣
@@kenedixon5720 🦁🦁🦁
Much respect for you taking a stand for Jesus and your life! I will say Mel, you really remind me of Greg Laurie, he's a pastor but for real just hearing you speak and in the face. I know your family is so glad to have you safe, alive and your mortal soul intact😊
Thank you for the full video Jon Bernthal. Amazing podcast!
Ive listened to this several times. The Warrior Poet Way and this podcast has turned me back to God. I'll never be a perfect Christian but I'm making enough changes that even coworkers have mentioned it.
One of the most powerful testimonies to God's grace in this man.
I grew up on Hartland ct down the block from the Hells Henchmen club house… great guys always looked out for the neighbourhood.
What a journey of faith! God’s hand was there all the time drawing Mel to Himself. Blessings to you.
Really appreciate men who talk about faith! We need more men to do this! There is a real art to being a great listener and Jon you are a great artist in so many ways including that. Great podcasts! I love them! Blessings to you both!
There's no more useless concept than faith as it's no path to truth and, in fact, is most likely to keep people steeped in delusion.
@@Reno_Slim my heart goes out to you. I would recommend you read a book called In Six Days: Why Fifty Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation. Mathematically, it is impossible for there not to be a creator. Wishing you and your family many blessings, most of all that you get a great epiphany before it’s too late. Take care.
@Reno_Slim just mind your own business then. Quit trying to knock down people that have faith.
Sounds a little like my own Way into the biker World. Met some friends i the lokal gym who showed up to be members of a mc club and things just went Wild and ended in drugs and a bad lifestyle. Im out of it now. 47 years Old and greatfull for life and my family. Thanks for great content. Inspirational.❤️🙂🙏🏻
Jon was badass in The Walking Dead, and I caught the Shia LaBeouf, which really opened my eyes. Thankyou
This was awesome. You have great questions for him. Good job. God is good. Praise Him all day every day!!
Mel, a POWERFUL testimony! Jon, I rejoiced when I saw you, as a 'SAVED-by-Jesus' Host 😇
I know right? Really makes me happy.
I really like John's style of interviews and damn a real life Hells Angel who saw the light! The great undercover agent said Mel was the scariest Hells Angel he ever met! I've been beaten up by bikers and that world is a living hell. So happy you got out Mel.. Bless you.
I knew big mel from the gym and bar. He was a gentleman and very charismatic guy. Funny how the 2 sides worked. He was never a dick throwing his weight around. Always a cool stand up guy
Wow. Thank the both of you for bringing us all this. Real ones is an understatement.
Amen!!!!! Brother. God works in mysterious ways 🙏.
This episode made have changed my life from a black brother to another thank you guys
Big Mel is a Legend here in Chicago! We miss you Big dawg!
Same in Florida...
This man is an inspiration to all. There was a special plan that the Creator had for him since the beginning and he knew it.
If you ain't got Jesus you ain't nothing.... This is a wicked world we live in very few escape...
If you believe in Jesus you have wasted your life. Smarten up.
@@bigdoug9369 if you don,t believe in Jesus you have wasted your eternity.. smarten up.
Incredible life journey ✝️
A REALLY incredible conversation... we've all heard Mel talk before; but this hits differently. Thank you!
I haven't heard mel talk before sorry
Then you're in for a treat. @@Jayess-c
@@Jayess-cnor have I. You aren't alone.
And then
Nice hair Melvin
I was just perusing youtube and this 👊😐👍 What a gem episode! All I can say is I am glued to this... highlight for me is this part of his story! 24:00 just wow!!!!
My older cousin! I love you Mel! So happy to be a small part of the chancey family. You all saved my life and made me a man. I'll love you all forever and will always be proud
Such a great conversation. The 1%er lifestyle has always been so intriguing to me for years so this is right up my alley. Thanks Jon and Mel for this one 💪🏼🇺🇸
I meant every word I ever said online and posted recently exactly how I feel and that will never change
I take my hat off to u Sir..hella respect I could listen to you all day glad u MADE IT out of the other side enjoy life you deserve it bro!! Much respect 🍀
14:00 Really good point about how men show love through martial sacrifice for each other.
Loved this my friend! Mel, is such a great storyteller. Big love to ya big man and thank you for changing lives through your beliefs and actions.
My girlfriend has competed in several of his shows in Florida and he’s been the absolute nicest guy every time we’ve spoke backstage. Pure class.
Doubt. Post KZhead video or it didn't happen.
Ahhhh William Ryan is jealous nothing cool ever happens in his life so he hates on people who’ve had fun 😢
He didn’t say they were friends and went to lunch, he said they’ve seen each other at an event and had passed pleasantries…..nerd! Lol I hope he sees him again and tells him the story of your dumb comment…
His shows are big here in SW Florida. I'm hoping one day he will have the IFBB womens physique pro division at one of his shows, so I can compete in it
Powerful. Inspiring. Enjoyed it very much.
Its amazing how close my life and Mel's life is. The great family but chose the street life, and how going to prison changed his life. Our stories are definitely different but man its amazing how people can change and stay focused on the future and life. I came home and changed my life and just celebrated my 40th birthday with my friends and family, with my 5 year old. I been sober and on yhe right oath since 8/7/15... this story was so impactful to me and how important my life is and how just being the good guy is. Im happy today and at peace in my heart and i feel like since im one of the few that made it its my job to be my best everyday. Thank you for this one.
Boring. Not remotely close, stop kidding yourself.
What an amazing story. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Best fucking podcast iv ever seen. I been in that lifestyle. Addicyion got the best of me and thank god i gotbout of it. My kids and God changed my life.
I selfishly wanna listen to you guys all day, makes me happy
Love and respect. Grew up around the HA. Knew some good guys that are no longer with us due to rivalries. All men that didn't deserve that fate. People need to learn from the path and choices of others. Life is short.
thank you Jon and Mel! Thanks for bringing glory to god! its amazing what god can do even to the president of the Hells Angels wow!
MEL IS A INCREDIBLE PERSON I SALUTE 🫡 HIM OVER AND OVER AND CANT WAIT FOR THE DOCUMENTARY 💪🏼🙏🏼
What a kind & egoless man, much respect.
You have a way of showing the true power of Redemption! Thank you for shining your light. I also appreciate the positive masculinity! 👌🏻🌞
Amazing Podcast, ive watched numerous podcasts that have mel on and this one is at the top of the list for me . keep up the great work !
I love listening to his stories, but he did Chris cavalleni’s podcast and I hope Mel never does his podcast again because Chris didn’t give Mel a chance to talk at all
Great conversation. My dad went the academic route and went to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore for medicine, but his brother, my Uncle went hard like Mel. I'm happy he too managed to change his life and get out when get got older... Everyone deserves the chance to change. 👍 Mel you're a good man.
Mel is my old neighbor. Grew up like 8 houses away. Dude was larger than life back in the day
Jon ,,,, well done man Excellent questions incredible video This is what's up man i was always intrigued and curious with questions so This was very cool very amazing to listen to Like wow man wild incredible story Real one 💯
Wow amazing story my favorite podcast keep um coming brotha💯💪🏽🙏
Jesus is Lord Jesus Saves!!
God is good 🤫🏳️🎚️👈
1 Cor 15:1-4 = the gospel but King James Version only please - we don’t need to pay for hell for purgatory is a lie. There’s a lot of misdirection and history calls them Romans thus the Roman Catholic Lies because no priest or no confession brings man or woman to heaven aka please read the King James Bible for Catholicism doesn’t bring us to the LORD for the Vatican 🇻🇦 shows their STATUES inside that one Roman Catholic Church yet I bring this awareness to save souls aka trust the blood 🩸 and does the Romans Catholics priests can get married!!! Please read the Bible - the channel Robert Breaker 3 = a good resource to help correct the lies you and I were TAUGHT together yet Amen. 🙏 Hope we all can unite Under God once and for all 🤫🏳️🎚️👈 it’s proper and strong stuff for a reason - does your Bible remove scriptures - Matthew 17:21 = is that scripture missing in your Bible THUS the King James Bible is mathematical sound. Amen. 🙏
I heard this story once before and I can listen again
What a great interview. As someone starting my channel and my path with God this was really good timing.
Loved this keep up the good work
Mel your an inspiration. People need to hear your story. Specifically men trying to better themselves .
Man this was a great listen Mel has a crazy story
love the pod, another one smacked out of the park!
Incredible story and comeback!!
This is the first time in years ive sat down and listened for 2 plus hours to an interview. Salute 🫡 all of you real ones
youre missing out on a lot of information / entertainment. podcasts about current affairs in the world should be mandatory !
Wow Mel! Incredible story bro. If I could have one wish it would be to meet you in person some day. I'd love to sit down and have a conversation with you. You are one of the most real people I've ever heard speak! You are truly blessed Much Love to you bro! Keep on speaking truth. JWM
You are the light of my life, you complete me, and make me so happy I just want to shout it from a mountain top
Had my full attention for every single minute.
Best episode. Respect
This podcast is underrated so badly !!!! This episode Shia’s and Conejos are all 10/10 🔥
what a beautiful testimony. God bless this man. I just watch Hulk hogans testimony. And I remember him bringing up this guys name.
I saw some clips of this episode awhile ago but unfortunately Patreon isn't available where I live so I'm glad I can finally watch it
Awesome interview!
Omg I would pay money to see a "Heman" movie with this guy!!!
There's a book you can check out at the library all about the war btwn the two clubs . it's very accurate, " Three can keep a secret if two are dead." If you're interested in more info. I forget the name of the author. It's worth the read tho.
Really good book
Love your channel JB you were made for this 👍🏽
Once again Mel Thank you . Lacey Grace ❤️🙏💪🏻

Amazing
Jon, please do a docu-series on Mel. Please. You would make it special and the world needs to hear is message and see his light.
Good stuff man. God bless
Great conversation 💬👍🏼
I love the fact that even the Hells Angels look at chuck norris as the ultimate badass 😅
Walk with grace Brother.
Just came across your podcast Jon and what a great interview. Hey dude it's Kevin Lyons I drove the Honeywagon on Punisher S2 and I drove a HMU on the reshoots of saints of Newark.
Great interview
Great video
Really a great interview
Well said words of wisdom!!! 🪞
My uncle was a hells henchmen out of calumet city chapter. I live in elkhart and i run around south bend.
It was God who changed his life. Everybody has different religions and beliefs, but we all can agree there’s a higher power.
Amen to that!
