Let’s not forget how good chazz palminteri was in a bronx tale and how much of an important character sunny was!
Chaz wrote the script to the film I believe
Chaz made the movie great
‘Now yooze can’t leave’
@@Ironsrunlions yea, the story is about Chazz Palminteri's life
You’ve done your time. You’ve paid your dues. You deserve to move on with your life. You have my support brother. All the best with your career and dreams.
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices that you make will shape your life forever
You really think that's the saddest thing in life?
@@wedge5896he’s quoting a bronx tale
@@Cmcc342 well now it makes sense, gonna have to watch the film again
@wedge5896 it's from the film and good advice
Tell me about it.
Ive just relapsed last week after 18 months, this video really helped me guys - appreciate it, looking forward to my meeting tomorrow
Get back on the wagon bro. 18 months Is a long time to stay clean don't let it back in. Stay positive bro.
You were clean for 547 days, and only messed up for one day. Don’t dwell on this. Every single person I know trying to get sober always has a hiccup somewhere. Focus on the progress you’ve made for those 547 days. Don’t let one day define your sobriety journey!!
Just get back on track now. You did it you can do it again erase that day n start fresh luckily that day didn’t cost you anything yet but your count start over hit it again n keep going.
Relapse is apart of recovery!! Now stay sober just one more day!!
Stay positive practice mind exercises don't think of the suspance don't let it control you until you master this your in control best of luck merry Christmas
Great interview again James, Lilo has a mad story and im glad to see him being a better man for it. Im from Scotland going through my own addictions myself which I want to leave behind me. These conversations are powerful, keep up the good work James, I'm a big fan of your work.
❤️❤️
Class mate Lillo seems like such a good guy great guest been following his story for years he’s made few mistakes but who hasn’t abronx tale such a movie and sopranos
👍🏼
By far the best and most honest podcast/interview that I've ever seen, so natural, by people who fight that war everyday n know what they are talking about...Love Lillo n James both absolute legends.
❤️
Watching this while smoking hero!n and 30 minutes ago I was really unwell before I got this really makes me want to change my life, but it is a hard journey. Lying there just half an hour ago rattling, sore , sweating and runny nose is possibly the worst thing anyone can go through but I wish I could get clean 36 year old and want to change my life but don't think I can deal with the mental side of things but watching you James tell your story and lillo too is very encouraging ❤️
This is really sad 🥺 I really hope you can turn your life around, wishing you all the best for the future ❤
@@petrabrook1998 thank you
Try hard my friend good luck god bless
@@wolves1980 thank you
I'm going for help in 4 days thank god. Time to get my life back in track. Not looking forward to the mental side of things though 😔💔
4 years sober and in honesty, I havent been to a meeting in 2 years plus. Watching this is almost like a meeting, watching 2 guys talk about their drug/drink life and dissecting addiction is so cathartic.
Sopranos by far the best series ever, nothing will ever top it.
👍🏼
The Wire has entered the chat
Father Ted is levels above
@@johnjones-eu1rv 🤣😂 you melt
Breaking Bad , end of...I win 🏆
I am in recovery from 27 yrs of addiction,I won’t say what as folk are judgemental but watching you James and in particular this interview is very very inspiring. Keep up the great work,I wish you every success.keep spreading the message,people CAN change,a lot of it is down to surrounding yourself with good like minded people in recovery that GET IT. All the best.
❤️
Two examples of how your fortunes can change for better and for worse based upon your own actions, and that no matter how far gone there’s always hope. Brilliant podcast
❤️
I watched his interview on Michael
francese too. By the way, he was a great guest.
I’ve always liked Lillo. Great actor, great guy and speaks so well. Would like to see him continue his success. Great interview James!
👍🏼
he was amazing in a bronx tale . can’t wait for this
👍🏼
Amazing?lol ok mate he was shite in it and ruined the film I can’t watch it now cus his in it
@@josephkennedy8281
What the hell? Hater maybe?
@@josephkennedy8281 bronx tale as amazing as was the cast
Well you tuned in @@josephkennedy8281
Can’t believe the kid from Sopranos / Bronx tale is on here lol. Genuinely intrigued.
Theres a meme floating about social media that basically says its crazy when an addict suddenly quits the kitchen seshs & starts walking mountains preaching etc.. but in my eyes, who better to try & help than somebody who has been there & done it? Who has came thru the other side & knows exactly how it is?.. fair play to them. It only takes a second to go back over & everybody would be all over it, talking about it.. looking down on them.. but then laugh at them when theyre trying? Then that same person preach’e mental health.. good luck to anyone trying to fight addiction, everyday is a hard day, everyday is a struggle, some people dont make it. Good luck to Lillo & James in life.
Let me tell you man unbelievable interview. I thought it was going to be the same shit. I’ve heard his story so many times that I could tell it at this point. Yet you were a let to put a different twist on it. Excellent job brother. I’ve been watching your work for a while now , keep up the great work!
I saw Lillo in the Sopranos first, then Bronx Tale later on. What an actor. Hope he's found some peace now.
What he said about the weed as a BPD sufferer is spot on it’s the only thing that helps me regulate my emotions 💯💯
Superb interview...as usual. Thanks for this James!
👍🏼
Is right 💪
Outstanding interview. Shows how quick life can chew you up but the come back is possible.
Great watch, Lillo is a great guy, wish him all the best for the future. Taking positive steps in life. Get up, dress up and show up. Keep at it.
Never heard of you before but saw a TikTok of this interview and decided to check it out. Absolutely fantastic watch. Subscribed
Amazing bro. Tuned right in man. Glad you brought up Denzel. Tony Scott was an amazing Director! This guy knows his dates ffs lol.
Holy shit!!! What a guest to have bro. Looking forward to this one!!! He has some story. 👌
I’ve watched most of you’re podcast James, and I have to say this is my favourite. This guy is an amazing actor and a great storyteller.. I really enjoyed this one
👍🏼
A brilliant film and a great actor.
Can't wait for this one.
👍🏼
What an amazing guest with an amazing story well done James 👌🏻
Thanks
LEGENDARY
2 addicts just venting i respect this . This interview was way better then the vlad interview.
for sure. his responses annoyed me considering how lillo was talking about his story. smh
Great conversation from you both. Watching this one is probably my favourite because I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. I'd love to maybe one day speak to you on a show like this.
Keep up the good work bro👍🏼
An absolute legend! You got my support! Always believe in you always will
Loved Bronx tale! I remember when he got sent down was so shocked!
Absolute *GOLD* I’ve binge watched MANY of these “Talks” can’t beat this IMO
James slowing the voice down 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🫡☮️🏴
😂😂🙌🏼
We talk fast in the New York area too but the Scottish and certain English accents are hard for us to understand
Really enjoyed this one a great interview very open and honest, loved it 🥰
when i heard what he'd done ages ago i'd heard he broke into a house and killed a policeman i thought "what a scumbag". gave this interview a chance and fair play it wasn't like that and it's great to see him clean, in good spirits and choosing to help people. best of luck to him
Yeah he didn't kill anyone
@@peternagy-im4bein fact he was the one who was shot and actually could have died
incredible interview, big up Lillo, such an inspiring story, from when it came out when I was 9 years old bronx tale has been my favourite film... nobody cares
really enjoyed this one james(Bronx Tale) was such an iconic movie, absolutely loved it...great to hear Lillo has turned his life-around, very inspiring. 🙌🙌
👍🏼
Great episode mate. New fan from belfast. 🇮🇪
Thanks
I thought its was Roberto Carlos!! 😂 Ringer!! What a class interview and class guest, natural flow. Great story
That was a belter that James I really enjoyed it brother.
👍🏼
Absolutely love this guy, what a bloke. I hope everything is good for him now, he’s seriously talented.
👍🏼
Best one for me good on the both of you. Brought back a lot of emotions of my addictions.
❤️❤️
This was great 👍
I interviewed Lillo yrs ago/when he just got outa Ryker's.. rang him & dragged him outa bed 3hrs too early.. I forgot about the time difference⏰ but he was great, just told me to ring back later (in a sleepy voice)😅
I liked the argument analogy!!❤👍🏾👍🏾🫶🏿🫶🏿. Stay strong Lillo 💪🏾. Keep spreading peace, love and hope. 🫶🏿🫶🏿👍🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
❤️❤️
Brilliant in the Sopranos! Very good actor,great guest James.
👍🏼
Fantastic interview James , great actor, loved that scene in Sopranos with Tony and Pussy
Brilliant interview James, 1 of the best
Thanks
'Do you feel lucky to still be alive...with all the drugs and the shootings...and the jumping out of a moving car'....Ah James, ye crack me up. It's the straight face and monotone delivery with the little cough afterwards....
You can tell he had difficultly listening to his accent lol looo at his face in the beginning 😂
Wow just watching this 3weeks sober no coke no weed so needed this
He spoke the truth about being in Oneida correctional facility, he was in involuntary PC, I was in gp at the time, I use to deliver the meal trays to the box and PC, use to see him all the time, he wasn't tough or anything he was one of us, a regular guy doing time 💯
I found this such a sad story. Great film & great talent. Glad he has found his way again.
Thank you for this interview James! Bronx tale was my absolute favorite back in a day. Lillo is such a genuine man -what a pleasure .I wish you both the best with your recoveries and thank you for being so decent,
What a great discussion that was. What an interesting fella he is.
I saw Bronx Tales with the love of my life.. wonderful.bittersweet memories ❤️
Bronx Tale is one of my favourite films ever, so much in fact my eldest boy is called Sonny, he's 22. This is a great interview, loving your work James.
Thanks Kel
Fantastic interview James. As always mate.
Have a great Christmas and a cracking New Year pal.
Thanks pal you too
So glad you brought Guy Richie up. I was thinking this dude would be a perfect fit in one of his movies.
I would love to see Lilo do Chazz Palmentari podcast that reunion would be amazing.
Brilliant. A Bronx Tale is a great movie. Looking forward to hearing this guy's story.
Another banger James! this could have been the Christmas Special but I'm happy it's dropped now
This single episode has made me turn my life around ❤❤❤
Thank you Lilo and James, very interesting interview
I love this guy. So genuine.
Brilliantl podcast, thanks James, total respect for lillo, best of luck for the future,, 👍👍
Seen goodfellas, casino, the Irishman, the departed, godfather, scarface, road to perdition, but I ain’t seen a bronx tale, definitely gonna watch it
I really want to see Lillo in more movies, he seems like a really good guy with a lot of talent.
Great podcast, love a bronx tale. Great to sit and listen to lillo
😂😂😂😂 had some mad times on my bender days, kicked off with my mate and told him to pull over on the hard shoulder of the motorway because someone was in the boot. Another time I saw a lamppost eat a caravan 🙈🙈🙈 many more where that came from. Good times
A Bronx Tale has a great message(s) - Cracking guy anaw, James well done.
Thanks
In the sopranos his character (Matthew Bevelacqua) and Sean shoot Christopher Multisante and he loses his spleen (crazy duality)
“I got no Spleen Gene”!
Chazz Palminteri has turned his back on this guy. Says he was a naturally gifted actor and he flushed it away
A Brónx Tale is one of my best movies ever and this lad played a brilliant part in the movie. Always wondered what happened him. A shame in all went wrong.
I bet it was a nightmare for Lilo. It happened during his prime years. I thought it was only in US, but in my country in Asia, things like the happened all the times. Once they became stars, fame and drugs will mess them up big time.
Great Interview! They both vibed really well! 👍
Thanks
"Come on,Sonny want's to see you,no one will take the bike"😊😊❤❤
Best podcast ive seen in awhile 🤝
So happy for Lillo! Turned his life around and is doing his best to seek redemption and help others. 👍🏾👌🏽🙏🏾
You always have such amazing interviews with all types of people not just the well-known. Bless up James. 🙏🏽♥️✨
❤️❤️
James... your a dark horse brother. Have a great Christmas
Thanks Kell you too
What a great and likeable fella , it’s obvious he’ll be in some great movies in the near future.
What a great interview. I wish only the best for Lilo. Good luck man!!!!
👍🏼
A great podcast both. Really enjoyed it guys👍🏻

Class interview 👏
This will be a good one. He has a really sad story. High T mugshot though!
👍🏼
Loved this one, watched bronx tale this morning. What an interesting person and life he had. Seems a really good guy too 😁
👍🏼
One of my all-time favorite movies
Coughing into the mic…very professional, james

Wow!!! What a guest!!!

👍🏼
Great interview James
Thanks
Hi James great stuff Sam Moore 😊
Lillos a good guy enuff said godbleess m8
👍🏼
The resemblance to a young Robert Dinero is uncanny and I'm surprised someone in Hollywood has not taken note of the potential
He looks nothing like DeNiro lol
@@YourRecoveryDealer you don't think so? I wish a was able to send you a photo side by side for a comparison? Ok not spitting image but there definitely is some similarities and slight resemblance imho
He looks like that old Italian soccer referee
@@jackthomas205Photos of both are on google 😂 dudeis around 50 tf young DeNiro 🤦♂️
He has similarities@@stillgotyourmom
Cee don’t go near the bar 👌beauty in a bronx tale what a film
Thanks Lillo. This really helped me.
Brooklyn Rules is another good one👍
Another great, transparent interview James
Thanks x
