DANNY TREJO: Respecting Death, Punching His Way into Hollywood & Living with Gratitude

[@jokerfleckcast3196]

Best podcast yet. Danny is a living legend. The GOAT

[@JDdoesstuff]

Danny Trejo is great, first saw him in From Dawn to Dusk and since then he been in many great movies.

[@acefoxuk]

This podcast was made for people like Danny, what a life he has lived! Great guy and very cool actor.

[@Neomaster67]

Thank you for this interview. For someone who was so intimidating on the screen, he is such a funny man. What stories must he have with his life.

[@dominique9187]

To have his character named after his uncle in Michael Mann's Heat is a wonderful hommage. I'm glad young Danny had someone to talk to. Listening to him about his past and his years in prison made me want to rewatch The Jericho Mile - a very good (first) movie by the way 🎬 "I won't do it if it's not fun" is quite a sentence to live by 😁 I bet he means it, regarding of his filmography. Thank you guys for this moment, it's good to see a man doing so well at 80.

[@wllmlew]

heard someone say before and it's really true. the words were "I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of how I'm going to die"

[@darnitthelma4247]

Yep it’s like a game we played as a kid….Would you rather know what date you die or how you die😮😢

[@keefriff99]

Exactly...if I knew I was going to die in my sleep with no pain, I wouldn't really fear it. If I gotta go through an agonizing 6 months of pain and physical decline, fuck that. I'd rather go out on my own terms.

[@wllmlew]

@@punch1420 i'm sure there are a few different ones

[@darnitthelma4247]

@ absolutely!

[@loganbrown3334]

Danny is a good male role model and a good role model in general. He's a tough masculine man, but it isn't toxic. He's soft when he needs to be, and he's not afraid to show it. He's also shown us that we have the power to turn our lives around. We just need strength and faith to do it. And time and time again he's shown, being kind to others can yield returns that are more meaningful than any amount of money in the world.

[@cassandraamador3721]

Love this episode! Danny is such a legend and looks incredible for 80! I ran into his son at a movie and he was soooo sweet! So happy he got that cry!!! They are so cute together ❤️

[@theresemarkham9387]

Listening to this episode now and I am so glad that you got him on the podcast. Danny definitely opened up. I am learning so much about him. Thank you for having him on the podcast.

[@ianbubble1378]

Trejo is a legend. This one should be good. 👍🏻

[@Nerdtropolis]

TREJO is amazing and is one of the best humans out there! What a journey!!

[@scottmills5120]

like how he keeps looking over to Ryan

[@guitaoist]

80? Man ive been watching him since Desperado 30 years ago such a chill guy, el Tortuga takes his time so hasnt aged as much as us

[@ace360]

Flipping Awesome Guest!!!! I Meet Danny at Galexycon this year in July! Awesome and Funny guy 💙🤘

[@marisolgreen435]

Danny is a living legend, nice. Thank you Michael 😊

[@BecomeConsciousNow]

Danny has a great attitude and is very likeable. A well dressed man!

[@Brook11223]

This is going to be fun. Robert Rodriguez's cousin. For me his appearance in The Flash was quite funny. I learnt that he was a stuntman or stunt coordinator in the film Runaway Train where he had a cameo as a boxer which starred Jon Voight, Eric Roberts and Rebecca De Mornay.

[@Jacquo]

Legendary!!

[@Mr_Kenneth]

RECENTLY watched Danny in Celebrity IOU. Proper decent guy with a massive heart. MACHETE!!!

[@paulsaddiction]

I've always enjoyed Danny Trejo's work and had never heard him on a podcast but wow he is awesome and so ready to tell us stories that I want to hear

[@JarrettWBass]

I read Danny's book which is phenomenal. Hearing him tell some of the stories in real time is awesome. Didn't know he was 80? So many ads on this episode but Danny is an amazing success story!!

[@leejtam0914]

Ryan cracking up over Danny talking about coke on movie sets made the whole thing 😂😂

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

I don't even think it was the drug thing, it was literally the word "blow" that kept breaking him.

[@paulaltazin572]

I was lucky enough to be able to work on Badasses on the Bayou for a couple of days. I cannot express enough just how kind and humble Danny Trejo is.

[@sixpakshaker88]

He is definitely a top 10 guest on this cast.

[@allthingshorrorrelated]

Awesome guy. One of my fave shows so far.

[@SummitBeatz]

What a gent, Of all of the guest Michael gets on the show not everyone comes with a Suit on but Danny totally so elegant

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

We need to get Colin Farrell on the show. I could listen to him talk for hours about his life and films, especially now after The Penguin.

[@ytuser_3122]

He’s too famous for here, but Mikey boy has gotten Nicholas Hoult and Keanu Reeves, so maybe it’ll happen

[@PepperDog76]

Good call.

[@TropicUniform27]

Yeah never say never.

[@dibsdibs3495]

And Cristin Milioti!!

[@Keenergetic]

Mr. Farrell is too busy nowadays.

[@Stpatrick77426]

Hell yeah!! You need some of the cast from prison break especially Robert knepper

[@ray.a7343]

Love danny he's the real deal he was awesome in the flash tv series!!!

[@MediumRareSteve]

We absolutely need this man on again. May he live to 100 doing his best ❤

[@williamkelly1519]

This was a great guest. Grattitude we share that.

[@amuse311]

Man I love Danny. Great interview.

[@CaptainZachofEarth]

5:44 my grandma died on november 1st she was my best friend, she did not fear death because it meant not suffering any longer. i however lived long enough staring down the end of too many barrels and would like to see some luxury and purpose in life beyond fighting. hence the scifi fantasy series i wrote that ive commented on before. love you both and im ok. she would want me to keep going with the series

[@CriticalThinking88]

Danny is an amazing guy.

[@clarkparker4860]

Top tier guest. Excellent interview. 🏆

[@FaunTasticManuel]

Another good guest. Thanks to you and your crew

[@Mermare]

I know someone whose son acted with Danny on a movie. She said he was a total sweetheart. I wish I could meet him and BS someday.

[@LilWockUV]

Danny is the coolest guy

[@mikhailabdurrachman2443]

Ever since i first Saw him in con air i knew he was Gonna be a superstar in Hollywood one day later

[@LisetteSanabria-Velazque-ne9jb]

Great Interview 💯 DANNY TREJO 💯

[@MsCogan555]

I met Danny at a con last yr, Im disabled and use a cane. He held on to me during my photo and walked me off the mark to the side. Such a lovely guy

[@VangaurdNZ]

Danny Trejo is 100% a fucking legend !

[@sonofharry1179]

Love watching these every week. Would it be possible for you to put back in chapter links to make it easier to re-watch certain portions of the show? They used to be there. I recognize it's more work to put them in, but they are helpful. Cheers!

[@edwardleonetti2492]

Danny Trejo man, much respect, all the way back to Blood in Blood out mucho respecto Mi Patron although he is not Mi Patron felt like the latter half of my life he's been in sooo many movies I saw great man, giving back to his community he's just so cool and laid back just a joy to see him on this show

[@ethanhoward389]

This should be a fun one!

[@neklamp2431]

Great interview!

[@ericstorm5285]

To hear his story is inspiring. He took advantage of opportunities given to him to make a great life for himself where weaker men would’ve maybe just found themselves back in prison

[@matthiasck]

Amen 🫡

[@Sangria]

Great interview!

[@General_Ignite]

I cant belive he is 80. I mean, apart from his face, how does he keep such mighty mane. I get he dyes his hair, but still that is crazy. Especially what he’s all been trough. Love your Podcasts. Bring back Lex Luthor

[@pamelacrawford4105]

Love Danny! He also has a cookbook. I bought my copy earlier this year. It’s a taco cookbook. Really great! 😊😊😊

[@New_Jax_City]

When he said i been too Julio Art or whatever it was. 😂. I think he met Juiliard 😂

[@t.j._fury]

What a great guy, and a really interesting interview! ❤ 🎉

[@toddteal4084]

Awesome guest!!! Great episode :)

[@MarinaValmont]

Great episode 👍

[@GoKuVeGeTaGoHaN]

Loved it

[@venomsymbiote34]

had a 30 minute conversation with him in the gym parking lot where i worked and where he was a member at in 2005 and just an awesome dude salt of the earth

[@flyinggardengnome1]

really glad you had Machete himself on the show, Michael really know how to pick his guests =))))

[@mscandylevar2444]

So epic!! Danny is a legend♥️ what a treat another awesome Episode loved every minute ♥️ Michael you Rock!!

[@darnitthelma4247]

I’ve got his autobiography…what a guy!

[@Brook11223]

Desperado Raul Julia was supposed to play Bucho but after filming The Burning Season he got stomach cancer and thought he could start filming but his health got worse and sadly passed away in 1994.

[@NihonKaikan]

No idea who you are, but great interviews and guests who are far more interesting than most “A-listers”.

[@zer0258]

This is a Criminally short episode. We need part 2!!

[@WELSHYTECH]

I can't believe hes 80 years old he looks good for his age

[@BKDDY]

They need to make a Danny Trejo movie on him growing up.

[@northsidejeff9551]

That was Great 👍 Makes me want to be a better person.

[@ShoZama85]

Correction for what Danny Trejo said about Cinco de Mayo is was the first battle that Mexico won a battle against the French not the Spaniards.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

The impression I get from Danny Trejo is that he acknowledges that people see him as a legend, but he comes across as sincerely humble, so he would never see himself that way. But...I don't know the guy, either.

[@grantpowell4135]

Conair is the first time I saw him in action. Ever since then he has made banger after banger

[@taoist32]

You need to watch Desperado, and From Dusk Till Dawn.

[@grantpowell4135]

@taoist32 oh trust me since then I have seen him in all the other classic 90s movies and early 00s

[@theresemarkham9387]

I just finished listening to this episode and it was delightful. What a great way to start the day. I definitely agree with having an attitude of gratitude. It is important to be kind to one another. He definitely has a great career. His movie sounds amazing. Hopefully he can come back on the podcast.

[@JoaquinGonzalezSmilingalways]

Excited for this episode! 🙌🏼😎👍🏼👍🏼

[@chad3274]

"I cried for everything I didn’t cry." -Danny Trejo

[@Bdawg._.]

DANNY TREJO Looking good clean suit

[@64bitRewind]

He’s 80?! Holy sh*t he looks great for his age!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Danny's a hero too. And some piece of crap threw sh#$_t at his ride!😂❤

[@sydney2yx]

Legend!! 🤩

[@luisrizo8813]

Anyone loving the weird irony of the Patrick CC video dropping yesterday?

[@New_Jax_City]

I love how one person comes on the pod wearing the clothing brand ROOTS OF FIGHT and now rosey lives in it. 😂

[@NestorCaster]

80…. Wow… brotha looks great!😮

[@claire-christmas-august73]

Oooooo i’ve been waiting for this interview. fascinating gent.! uber talented.! ☺️😊😄 ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻

[@theblueyedhat]

HI DANNYYYYY!! How are the parakeets doing darlin'!? 😘

[@logankerlee]

Happy to be here early on!!

[@nemospodcast6766]

I’m playing Danny’s son in a movie we’re doing in Detroit.

[@tyreesecoleman7120]

favorite vampire movie dust to dawn vampire series

[@amstel5468]

Now this is going to be a good episode.. 😳

[@timz9862]

Awesome

[@heavycritic9554]

I just feel like commenting how I would have loved to see Michael Rosenbaum play Tanis Half-Elven in a live action version of Dragonlance. That's all for now. 🙂

[@JamieKleinHudson]

Make videos TikTok of your book. Still, my kids love it

[@frankjamesbonarrigo7162]

Back when prisons were Really dangerous.

[@hendie3rd]

Nutrafol!

[@detroitonwheels1449]

How the hell am I just now realizing Ryan is the same Ryan from The Warp Zone?!?! 0:42

[@justletmepostthis276]

"If you don't vote, don't bitch, but if you do vote and don't get what you want, well, you did the best you could..." That made no sense at all, lol. The Rich always get what they want. ALWAYS.

[@the121smashchampion]

It's crazy this guy is 80years old

[@dryherbvoter]

Danny Trejo should play in a Jack Reacher season with Alan Ritchson.

[@jag5014]

Michael's diarrhea joke about his tacos at the end was unnecessary r 😂

[@Thunderflare99]

Really cool that Danny was a guest, learned some about him, but there were definitely some missed opportunities. I mean the guy was in jail with Charles Manson. How'd he go from cliche extra to leading role? What was it like working on Machete, etc.?

[@lindamawdsley6130]

Just about to start watching and I’ve got the feeling I won’t be disappointed😀

[@daryl772003]

The pat O'Brien movie is "angels with dirty faces"

[@mikekillagreen9432]

He fought three guys on the street this year. At 80 he's still tough as nails. Those cowards who fought him better stay off the streets. He has a lot of friends in the streets.

[@Muppio]

80?!

[@Tury2801]

30:01 in fact the Mexican army won a battle againts the French Army, and Puebla is now a big beautifull city, it is not a stinky town anymore
