Life and Other Bull 💩 Pt. 3 | Chazz Palminteri Show | EP 196

Once again, I am answering fan questions that cover everything from nostalgia to life’s big lessons. I share stories about my Italian roots and why Italy has such a special place in my heart, especially when it comes to the classic mob movies. I also take a look back at the 60s and 70s to talk about what I miss most from those decades.

 

Living in New York has shaped me in so many ways, and I’ll open up about how the city’s intensity has influenced my worldview, career, and approach to life. Plus, we’re getting personal with topics like forgiveness when family causes pain, dealing with anxiety, and how to handle a shrinking social circle as time goes on.

 

On the lighter side, I answer a few fun questions—like the dessert I’d eat every day if calories didn’t count, my favorite spots on Arthur Ave, and a role I’d love to play: a crooked priest. And of course, I tackle the age-old question: What’s the saddest thing in life? (Hint: it’s a classic line from A Bronx Tale.)
