Mel Chancey's Explosive Past: Biker Brotherhood, Rivalries, and the Bomb that Shook Chicago

[@gerryinkstains9876]

I always love how Jon let's his guests talk without any interruption. Let's them get the whole thing out before asking a question

[@mollypeddycord9401]

Lmmfknao that’s what I was saying too.. it was starting to erk me to man like STFU MOFOKN let em answer..SAY💯💯💯

[@core_medicalgroup]

This is amazing!! Mel is truly a testament to life and we are so proud to work with him.

[@DjSullyz]

Real Ones is the best podcast going today. Theres no bullshit, no updates on your weekly sports or mixed martial arts, Jon talks to people who have been through shit that most normal people could never imagine. The level of vulnerability exhibited by not only the guests, but Jon himself, makes this podcast incredibly relatable. Thank you Jon for bringing these stories to light, and thank you to each and every guest that has told their story in hopes of creating a better and brighter world. The world needs more light in their life, and I can’t thank y’all enough for the inspiration you provide to all of us. Cheers gentleman, John you are a godsend.

Man, Mel is an all around great dude, I miss when he owned my gym, dudes a testament to what you can do and how successful you can be if you cut the bullshit out of your life and give yourself a second chance

[@billyheinlein8403]

I love how you say club instead of “gang.” Saying “gang” to an MC member, or former member, you are getting rocked and folded. All respect brother!🍻

I just wanna say I’ve really grown to love watching your movies, and seeing your variety as an actor. It is also so sick to see this side of you on your podcast. Thank you!

[@Choomlv]

Very interesting conversation! Love the genuine insight on the history of H.A.

[@tonyhendricks7026]

I remember this, I was 14 at the time the henchmen patched over. I lived in Chicago at this time. I remember the Hombres patching over to the Outlaws. The car bombs and bar fights.....

[@mr_jesse_m]

Indeed. Thank you for your service JB. Very cool story.

[@thecookandthecookie3593]

Born and raised in Chicago. Story is legit

[@DummyYEEEAAHHHHH]

I always curious...when a club patches over a smaller club...do the patched over members have to start as prospects with the Angels or do they get fully patched when they club absorbs them ? I read a few clubs make everyone prospect before they get full patch...always wondered about that.

[@thedoveston6781]

It depends. Sometimes the charter being patched over will prospect before joining the wider club, sometimes the whole charter will just patch over. Very occasionally an entire club will patch over, notably in Canada or Germany. It depends on the reputation of the club/charter/members joining, as well as what the bigger club is trying to achieve (usually expansion into a particular territory).

[@lexxxlucifer6665]

Usually from what I understand. They are considered puppet clubs first and the most solid members make it and get patched over and if you have money and are a business owner you go up the rankings a little faster as well because money talks in this world.

[@chuckpainter8234]

Used to see him riding his bike all the time.

[@brotherdandy]

The bombing Mel mentioned is covered in an episode of “Gangland” involving the Outlaws MC.

[@mattmorrison9379]

[@HandsomeLongshanks]

3:42 i grew up in the burbs of chicago and the Outlaws were definitely not someone you fucked with. My brother made one-time friends with a few members at the bar one night (even tho he doesnt ride and had 0 business talking to them in the first place) and managed to not get his ass beat, somehow. This was a few years after they killed a journalist who was about to release a giant exposé on them, iirc. So, idk how these guys thought it was a good idea to patch over to HA, but apparently it wasnt that bad of an idea because hes alive

[@2285grinch]

I was in an outlaw club for 12 years we called it the ugly crew. We were the guys of took care of business.
