In this heartfelt and humorous solo episode of The Chazz Palminteri Show, I’m taking you back to where it all began—the Bronx. Growing up in a close-knit neighborhood full of unforgettable characters and crazy antics shaped my life and inspired much of my storytelling in A Bronx Tale.

Join me as I share:

The unique nicknames my childhood friends had and the hilarious stories behind them
Classic street games like stickball and the “dummy prank” that kept us entertained for hours
How growing up in the Bronx taught me lessons about respect, discipline, and resilience
A reflection on what’s missing in today’s overly cautious culture and why it matters

This episode is a love letter to the old-school Bronx and the community spirit that made it so special. Whether you grew up in New York or are just curious about life in the Bronx, these stories will leave you laughing, reminiscing, and inspired.
