This is man is a legend. The challenges he overcame, the circumstances he faced is amazing.

[@adamgriss2025]

Dany Trejo has to be one of the most authentic people involved in the whole Hollywood scene.

[@lovegod9964]

I agree…quite authentic man. What you see is what you get!!! I thank God his life was spared and turned around.

[@MaskHysteria]

@@carlotapuig Pretty close although I hear Keanu Reeves is an original as well. Harrison Ford, also, apparently, didn't let too much of the glitz and glamor get to him either.

[@jamesblake5176]

@@MaskHysteria idk man harrison ford would probably get pissed at you if you saw him randomly in public and tried to see what's up, danny trejo would probably be more interested in talking to you than you are to him, he's cool as ice

[@LePerrit]

Fact!

[@rodinunez5967]

And his tacos are bomb!

[@marcofarella]

I saw Danny at the mad monster horror convention a few years back in Phoenix. He spoke to each and every one on a personal level. Much respect to this man.

[@DannyPepprs]

I heard he was a great individual , and overcome many negative things

[@brendak75]

Both my brothers met him at a Con in Indianapolis and they said he was the nicest and most friendly celebrity they ever met.

[@alexnoelle4202]

​@Brenda Koetters convicts and martial artist have the same weirdly calm energy, it takes a lot to shake them or get them worked up... talking about people I've dated not my personal experiences so I don't think I'll ever really get it, but I've been around it a ton.

[@Floxflow]

Trejo can talk about anything, and it's entertaining. He's great.

[@squidbert7225]

this was the best interview ive seen in a long time. so sick of tribal bs, it was refreshing to just listen to someone everyone likes talk about stuff most people dont know. Thanks for that, honestly.

[@angiec3512]

I love his life story and his energy. He's hilarious as well. I'm going to have to get his book. He's a national treasure.

[@Salipenter1]

This is a guest I NEVER expected to see on any podcast I follow. But damn, am I glad it happened. Followed his story a few years ago and knew of the time he spent "inside". Top notch work getting him Chris.

[@gerardleroux5784]

Am I the only one who wants to know how to hypnotise yourself the way Manson did it to Danny them? Not to get high but to place yourself in a phenomenal mindset where you believe in yourself so much that you instantly become the best version of yourself.

[@squoblat]

Chris, over the past 4 months or so you've really mastered the art of letting your guests talk just the right amount and only add anything when it needs a gentle steer. You'll be over a million in no time if you keep this up.

[@rebecca7410]

My boyfriend was just telling me about Danny Trejo yesterday, whilst we were on a walk, saying I must know him as he's been in so many films, and telling me how he got his break in acting. Then this pops up! Crazy.

[@Adeus1]

Cut your mic on your phone... You'd be surprised how much info these devices can extract from you. Most Androids give you the option to cut mic and cams on quick settings. Just FYI. Good day!

[@zoobee]

wow. what a great catch you got with Danny, Chris. Onwards and upwards mate.

[@ChrisWillx]

Yesnow. Thanks brotha

[@tallcool1jeff]

What a great an insightful interview.. I'm from Chicago and when I was a young man I had serious IV drug problems I ended up homeless on the streets of LA and addicted to heroin by the grace of God I got into Tarzana Treatment Center and one Friday or Saturday evening guess who shows up at the treatment center to be the AA speaker for the night, none other than Danny Trejo wow what an incredible story this guy has I'll never forget him. By the way I've been clean and sober for over 12 years God is good🙂

[@rubyfirelily594]

I'd love just 10 minutes of conversation with Danny. How fortunate you are to have done such a lengthy interview with him. Was a pleasure to watch!

[@Joker_the_greaser]

He’s a drug dealer in gta China wars gta3 and vice city and stories

[@Steven_McCrae]

Who wouldn’t want an Uncle Trejo ? Such a seasoned wise soul

[@leebrown1049]

What a really nice guy, wouldn't like to get on his bad side but a guy you'd love to meet in a bar, buy him a drink and just listen to his stories. Great interview Chris, thanks

[@rjim1]

Bloody fantastic that, you are very quickly becoming my favourite pod-caster! Bravo I say!! 👌🏻

[@EvanWilliamG]

This interview was legit. Loved it! Thanks Chris and Danny

[@LaCimaMusic]

My name is Carlos and I love Danny Trejo, my boss! I see him once a week and he tells me lots of great stories like these. He's the most humble man you can ever meet.

[@iamalphalim]

Man! I could listen to Danny talk forever! ❤

[@Helmoswww]

Love this interview, I honestly didn't know his story! Great job Chris!

Great interview. Just finished Danny's book last week. Reconmended.

[@aidan7413]

Love this guy. I feel like he could sit and have an interesting conversation with anyone on earth

[@heartonmysleeves4668]

Everyone should check out his "Badass" trilogy. The Trejo/Glover team up you didn't know you needed!

[@HappilyCamping]

Epic. I watch every movie he's in (even the terribly bad 😅) This was great, Chris. Thanks.

[@ChrisWillx]

I've only seen the good ones I think, thankfully

[@Zelphraeya]

In case you haven't watched it, Bubble Boy was a comedy he was in. Very cheesy, but good.

[@OscarLimaMike]

I have always been entranced by everything this man has done in film... I could see he is the real deal. There is the recognition because I came from the same place... Thank you for this interview. One of the most interesting men in the shit that is Hollywood. Fascinating. I wish him all the best.... A man like this is a fine thing to see.

[@poeglives]

Epic. Loving this interview. Need to get Malice together with Danny and watch the results.

[@johnkarpinski1122]

Awesome interview. Keep up the good Work. Such a Talented Actor

[@Skeletors_Closet]

I was a teen that was always in trouble and found myself seeing a judge once a week and visiting a counselor twice a week, sometimes more. My senior year was weekends in jail and constant stress from drug tests and PO’s. I learned about Trejo through that program. I guess he made some content just for teens and he told his life story and some. It was split over a bunch of episodes and about once a week we’d watch a video of his. It was awesome. lol. I thought I was a certain somebody until I heard his story. I had yet to stay in prison for any longer than a weekend and they only ever put me in intake/receiving cells. I was lucky. I won’t say this guy changed my life, but he def helped me find a different perspective. I hope to meet him one day and tell him how he helped me do that.

[@CuriousDuffer]

Good stuff Chris! One of the other really neat things about Danny is that he made it big later in life. So often success is portrayed as a young man's game but that doesn't always have to be the case 😎

[@ChrisWillx]

100%. Inspiration for people who want to crush Q3 & Q4 of their existence

[@lovelight7482]

Aaaamazzzing Danny Trejo!! his story is fascinating and he tells it so lightheartedly. I appreciate his sense of humor and his humility. Thank you, Danny.. you're an awesome actor and storyteller. I can relate to where you come from.. and i'm intrigued as I listen. @24:38 . wow!! blessings..

[@Ibaneddie76]

Love Danny and his amazing work he's done in movies but I respect him even more for what he's done for abused Pit bulls.

[@MasterJTLS]

Beautiful to see how Danny embraced God and put his life in service to others transforming his whole life. An inspiration to many.

[@Huasipungero]

Absolutely amazing interview so happy I stumbled across this subscribed

[@gtbkts]

Saw a short of this, thought it was something ragging on Danny. Found out it was something great. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@DjangoWineHeart]

Great interview! What a charming, funny, honest guy, couldn't take my eyes of him, not a syllable of bullshit.

[@bea4394]

I love this interview. Danny’s like- I’m getting paid more to ACT like myself than actually be myself. Like- you’re going to pay me more to act like I’m robbing people than I make actually robbing people??

[@davidlee3138]

Excellent interview ✌❤🤙 thank you

[@rgee7148]

Thanks to you both 🤍

[@anthonyjgreene]

That was one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched. So many amazing laugh out loud moments.

[@jock-of-ages73]

I had a feeling he was talking about Bunker at the start of Getting into movies, i read Eddie's biography Mr Blue years ago after Reservoir Dogs came out and he tells more or less the same story. Brilliant interview. He's right about Education Of A Felon, all his books are quite decent considering his education.

[@NeoLudditevisons]

Awesome interview!

[@gavinbinding]

Pulled one out of the bag here mate 👍👍

[@ichabodcrane6044]

This interview reminds me of why I loved the film Barry Lyndon. That film did an amazing job of highlighting and parodying the veiled violence inherent in the system of civilized society. Likewise the brutality of San Quentin is the realpolitik of mankind stripped of all dignity.

[@scottprince6546]

Great video man,could listen to Danny all day long.

[@ScottyAlexRamsay]

What an epic conversation. This made my Sunday :)

[@immanuel7776]

Wow that was completely different but awesome… loved it.

[@justarandomguy9459]

Wow this one is unexpected, what a legend!

[@anabaird3835]

He still talks like a convict. That's not an insult/bad thing, it's just a observation of a very distinctive way of speech/communication/exuding personality. I'm not sure the word I'm looking for.

[@kreigrastalovich2577]

That was one hell of an interview.

[@alexjt313]

Awesome! Good work!

Eye worked at Miami Spice in Marina del rey- Venice back in late 80's early 90's. Trejo's Sharing his Story brought up melancholy of all those friends and a world long changed.

His Robert DeNiro impression was too funny

[@ratatatancap]

Super curious to ask him his definition of “automatic weapons.” He has a very joyful and grateful nature. This was enjoyable.

[@OscarLimaMike]

I agree. A gun is a gun. No matter how it loads if you use it with bad intent the results are always the same. I am pro second amendment precisely because if the reasons he mentioned. If someone predates others I have zero respect and concern for their well being.

The Battle of Gettysburg also began over shoes. Confederates heard a shoe factory existed in the town and raided it. Union forces stunned to see enemy soldiers, a lot of them, this far North. Shoe Wars.
