Man, Ollie is killing it as an interviewer. Sounds like someone who's done their research and is asking thoughtful questions.
He is always do research before interviews. Some people did surprise he knew lot of things 😂
Well, who else but Ollie? 😅
this and a dad joke
I somehow have the feeling that Ollie will slowly become like Sean Evans and be quite famous for being a good interviewer
Yeah, I've only come across Josh and Ollie recently, but I immediately found the combination of a more 'straight man' Josh with the funny Ollie to be brilliant. And, like you say, Ollie's sort of goofiness and humor is very disarming and immediately sets a friendly atmosphere and even though Ollie plays the goof, underneath, I think he's a pretty smart, clever person. Not to say Josh isn't, but Josh is much more straightforward with his approach? Regardless, they do make for a great combo for sure. And, like you said also, he does his research.
I cant believe Danny Trejo is 80 years old. He's got the energy and zest for life as someone much younger than him. Great interview.
He's 80!!!!
What?!!??
Wow. That man has looked the same for the last 40 years. That’s amazing.
Wtf,80!!!??? Incredible.
Until i saw this comment, didnt even realize he was 80
While Josh is more highlighted in Korean Englishman, Ollie truly shines in JOLLY. So much work into researching the guests and taking into consideration good questions and having flow throughout the entire interview makes the synergy so well! I teared up during Danny's story about the kermit frog and his mom and the story about working with his son directing his film. So blessed we get both channels!
Agree! It’s such a sign of respect, too, when he asks questions he could only know through research. Especially with celebs, who are used to junkets and the same 10 questions about their life/work, it must be so refreshing to hear someone asking genuine, thought-out questions.
This man is eighty years old, and survived cancer and a stroke, after a rough start to life. Incredible. He hasn't aged in thirty years, except to look happier. Had the pleasure of meeting him in LA years ago, he doesn't act like he's famous at all. Just a kind man. There's a reason he's a treasure to Angelinos.
My god 80? Looks max early 60 he is tough
Not Ollie looking like Eleven from Stranger Things season 1 😂😂😂
The Korean military haircut is not doing him a tremendous amount of favors lol
😂 he even has a similar blue jacket.
@@shannonshanks4078 i know right. 🤣 I wasn’t shading him tho, i just noticed the similarities and thought it was too funny 😂
"Eleven looking ahh" 😆🤣
Bring back the subtle mullet!
Fun fact. Trejo would only agree to a movie if his character is killed/jailed forever because he didn’t want to portray that being the bad guy is cool/rewarded, etc. Respect 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I didn't know that was his reason 😮
Cause he was in the crime world when he was young and didn't want anyone experience such thing@@HaruAcademy
I knew a lot about him but never heard that... But it absolutely makes sense now that I think about how he dies a lot in movies and TV shows even if he does a small cameo
That's so cool
And the only way that you can work at one of his restaurants is to have a criminal record. He goes and looks for people like two-time offenders, the people that are at risk of going down the road that he went down. He's not only turning his life around he's making sure that the generation that comes after him has a mentor in someone to look up to as opposed to falling through the cracks.
I'm sure this sounds silly to some, but hearing Danny Trejo openly talking about getting emotional and crying in a movie scene gives me so much hope. Here's the toughest of the tough guys letting us know it's alright to cry. Love this guy. You deserve everything you have achieved and accomplished throughout your life, and wish you nothing but the best
Keep hoping, friend. You got this.
I can't remember where I heard this but he was raised with his cousins (all girls) and loved fantasy and make believe, and his dad took him away because he didn't want a "sissy" as a son. There was a story of the whole family sharing a holiday meal while Danny was locked in the car outside. Utterly horrific, for him to be so sunny and happy after that kind of childhood (and the gritty aftermath) is a real achievement.
Amen
"Everything good that's happened to me has happened as the direct result of helping someone else, and that's the way I live my life."
What an amazing outlook on life. I wonder how much better the world would be if we prioritized helping others.
I wonder if he ever met mother Theresa
My husband was his security for a Comicon here in Houston. He said Danny was so hard to keep up with, he feared nothing, had no hesitations about just walking into the crowds and embracing others. He was very personable and greeted everyone equally like an old friend. Not like most of the stars he worked with who avoided their fans. He was one of Hawk's favorite clients.
Why fear when everybody loves you. Danny is a amazing guy for all he´s done.
Met him at galaxycon last year. Nicest guy. Didn't realize how short he is.
@@janivoutilainen2610 i mean, there are some crazy people out there. Selena was killed by someone who "loved" her
@@akirebarabig difference between Selena and Danny.
@@akirebara most people are killed by people they now including Selena. But she was killed because the lady was stealing money And Selena found out. From what I understand.
Why am I crying when Danny starts talking about how everything good happen when he does good for others. Wow. Love this man.
Agreed, but it is so true
A beautiful mantra to live by.
Absolutely, I was raised by this, thanks to my mother. "When you give, you shall receive." I feel that because of this way of thinking, I have never been without anything. I'm not rich, but I always have enough to afford what I want and need. All the more reason to share when I can. Big shout out to my mom, in heaven, for helping me understand this at a very young age. 🌹❤
its called Karma, it only works if your not doing it for the reward.
Karma my g
I’ve worked as a PA in a few movies Danny was in, he’s a gentleman. He’s a funny, clever, old timer with a good heart. He enjoys making people smile and laugh. Loves and appreciates his fans. The brother looks great at 80. Great interview Gents.
8:18 “Everything good that’s ever happened to me, happened as a direct result of helping someone else.” I cried. The basic things I teach my kids, my students and my Girl Scouts, this is of upmost importance. Help others, and good things will come along ❤ Ollie, you shine in this interview 🤩 fantastic! Just added his book to my list.
I am enjoying Ollie taking the lead and doing these interviews more and more, (he gets so much out of people it is insane) almost as much as Josh enjoys just showing up and eating food lol
@@Michael-kf7gmCrazy take. How so?
@@Michael-kf7gm Josh has had problems with gabie and her pregnancy recently so he might not be in the best headspace and both of them are equally important for this channel
@@Michael-kf7gm I disagree with the claim that he's been disingenuous and disengaged. I think Josh often has a lot more comfortability in food and culture. Ollie definitely has a greater talent for relationships (as in if Josh is average to above average in conversation skills, Ollie is gifted). This video, like many of their interviews, was "led" by Ollie because of that. As for distracted, if you pay attention to the Korean Englishman channel, you'd know that he's got a child on the way, he's been doing many trips to Korea for his first (and more successful, since you want to yap bout their brand) channel, and a member of the team lost their house to a fire. I'm unaware of the person's role but depending on their level in the production process, slowing operations while they stabilize their situation seems entirely reasonable. And most importantly, Josh and Ollie are partners on both this channel and KE, how on Earth do you think Ollie's going to kick Josh from an equal relationship? I haven't even seen anything damaging to their brand, what damage do you see (other than you being butthurt over nonexistent problems)?
@@Michael-kf7gm I sincerely hope that you grow as a person and learn that pregnancy aren't entirely the mother's matter. If she has complications that affects Josh because he loves her. If the baby has complications that affects Josh because he loves his child. To imply that he should abandon his family in her times of need because you want more frequent uploads is absolutely selfish and shameful.
@@Michael-kf7gm The irony of your level of cynicism while you fight "for" a channel named Jolly is actually incredible. The narrow-minded nature of your mindset is more shocking than a biblical plague.
"did you ever dream you would open a restaurant?"
"I never dreamed I was getting out of prison!"
Teared up here, not gonna lie.
His episode of Finding Your Roots on PBS was intense, the guy has lived a tough life for sure
Ray Liota, "You alright tough guy?" "Shut up!," Trejo. I felt that. I could only imagine.
I had the GREAT HONOR of meeting Mr. Trejo once and getting to sit in on a conversation he was having in New Mexico. Absolutley a wonderful man! Loved him! Good luck, Danny!
Thank you for sharing this. I have been a fan of Danny' for decades and am so glad he represents us Mexicans as well.
A friend saw Danny years ago at a diner (Denny's?) in San Fernando with his family and his mom before she passed and said he was just a genuinely nice guy. He went around saying hello to people and took pictures with them. You could tell he is thankful for his life and he shares that gratitude with others by being the best human he can be.
Danny Trejo is the real deal. He gives back to the community as much as he can and also still goes to AA local meetings in LA. I get so happy remembering that this man was given a second, third, 4th, 5th chance in life.
He lives the program. It’s in his every word and action. So much respect and love for him!
Yeah, God is good man...
yeah, it goes to show you that if you keep moving forward, good things can happen. Too many people, when they've gone through things, sit back and make excuses. NO reason to. Fight, work hard, move on. You never know what it can lead to
THE COLLAB I NEVER EXPECTED
No kidding. This one was from way out in left field. Loved it.
Well expect the unexpected from the duo.
It was so wholesome. Loved it.
But the one we always needed
Yup, saw the thumbnail, fr
Brit here living in San Francisco. I am so envious that Notting Hill has its own Danny Trejo. He is iconic, and has come so far from his days in San Quentin, a hip, skip and a jump across the Golden Gate Bridge, near where I live. In San Francisco, we go to the Mission District to get our wonderful, authentic, Mexican, El Salvadoran, Nicaraguan, Peruvian and Chilean food. But, we’d kill to have Danny open a restaurant or take out here in SF. Please use your Jolly influence to make it happen. This was a wonderful episode to watch. Thank you.
Danny seems like the sweetest, most genuine man. So glad you were able to have this experience with him!!
Happy belated, Danny!
He’s 80 and looks exactly the same
HE’S 80?!? He looks younger than that 😵💫
@itrashcant7947 he's rocking it well
HES 80?!!!
HE'S 80!?
What he's 80?! Damn, dudes going strong.
I see the thumbnail. I see Danny Trejo. I click and watch the video.
Based
Respect
Same!
I see your comment. I click reply. I reply to your comment
Congratulations. 🙄
Mr Trejo came and spoke at my son’s High School. He is so very much community involved.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. I had a smile on my face the entire time. I've loved Danny Trejo since the beginning of his film career and I had the pleasure of meeting him in fact at JFK airport before he "hit it big" in the movies. It was right before From Dusk till Dawn came out if I remember the timing right. He was so nice and just like in the video here - loved telling stories. He told me a story of when he was in prison and just, I could listen to him for hours. I'm so happy he's still going strong (as Ollie said a literal serial survivor!) and doing so well for the Taco restaurants. Also, props to Ollie for being awesome in this video. You can tell Danny appreciated Ollie doing his research and they felt like old buds talking about crap lol
ollie is one of my favorite interviewers ever he is so considerate and kind and always does his research to ask whoever he’s interviewing the most interesting questions and tries to genuinely get to know them it’s incredible
Im not someone that recognizes good interviewers. Usually when i hear that about reporters or other YT interviewers, i dont notice anything different from other interviewers. But ive def noticed it with ollie. Idk what it is about his questions, maybe its him not asking the same questions as all other interviewers, or maybe its the fact that he gets little tidbits of information that not many people even know about and then ask those questions, but i def notice it.
@@erickim1739 Kermit 😍
I met Danny years ago and his back story is amazing. He was in prison serving time and his cellmate got out of prison before him and told him to look him up when he was released. Danny did just that and found his old cellmate working behind the scenes on a movie set. The movie director saw Danny and put him in the movie just based on his look and that is how he got his start in movies.
absolutely love Danny Trejo! one of a kind, broke the mold and one of the most humble guys on earth.
Ollie's research on Danny is incredible! Favorite interview they've done so far. Love how thoughtful and respectful the questions are -
Danny Trejo has one of the toughest, meanest faces in Hollywood. But he has a heart of pure gold. There's a podcast he did with Jason Mewes as a guest for Jay and Silent Bob Get Old and I realized then what a awesome dude he is.
He's also Enrique on King of the Hill lol
Mr Trejo reminds me of my great grandpa. I'm white as snow but my great grandpa was a Mexican American WW2 Airforce Vet who was shot down over the pacific and survived for weeks on a life raft
Hero! 🇺🇸
Your grandpa is as badass as Danny.
That's amazing. Honestly I was thinking the same thing. I loved hanging out with and hearing the stories of my great grandfather. He was in WW2, Vietnam, and the Korean wars. He would tell me about how his dad (my great great grandfather) rode with Pancho Villa during the Mexican revolution. We're blessed to have known our great grandfathers who were hardcore warriors of their times, and watching him as I grew up, just be so giving to everyone around him.
That's siiick! Glad he ended up making it out alive!
@BenjaminTrillington the sad part is I was always scared of him as a little kid (looking back, I had no reason to be he was very kind to kids) except one time I worked up the courage to give him a hug. I only later in life learned of his military career, long after he died.
I don't really know much about him, I've certainly seen him in a few movies, but he's never stuck in my head. This interview really changed that. What a lovely man. Ollie, killed it on this interview, man. Great ep guys.
Danny Trejo just turned 80 years old yesterday!
Love how Ollie always does his research on the guests
Yup
I wish he did research on how to eat a taco....
@@DatBoiAntix Oh boy you can go kiss my a--. Who cares. You just bite it and eat it.
@@DatBoiAntix I know, he eating that taco like a burguer irked me a little bit ngl
I loved how you can tell Ollie was being a fan boy. I wish i could meet Danny Trejo that would be a dream
Go get some tacos, you might score.
There’s not a celebrity in the world that’s more genuine than Danny. Change my mind. Dude is SO awesome!
What a wonderfull man. My man is a recovering alcoholic and druguser, he's been.sober for 24 years now, and he also lives ny the 12 steps, being a buddy of several people, also a speaker every now and then. Cool to hear him talk about it, very recognizable ❤
The more I learn about Danny Trejo more. I really like the guy. He pulled himself up from all the things that people get stuck in... And made something better of himself and that's got to count for something in life! I'm glad you guys let him speak and talk.. He had some really good things to say to everyone
People tend to forget, or not know, how freaking funny Danny is.... Living legend, can't wait to try his food....Just to name a few he's been in : Wedlock, Desperado, Heat, From dusk till dawn, Con Air, The replacement killers....
I forgot he was in From Dusk Till Dawn!
Jolly, tacos, Danny Trejo = Like the video before I even watch it.
Edit: And it did not disappoint. Danny was intense, kind, and full of wisdom. This is the one video I am glad they did not focus on the food. We all make mistakes. The best of us turn those mistakes into triumphs.
Just watching Danny Trejo's deminer and humbleness and just being so down to earth and light hearted, made me smile for the whole video.
I hope Ollie goes on to pursue projects, other careers on his own. The more and more that I watched the Jolly and Korean Englishman videos everything is quite apparent without saying words. Ollie is quick witted, brilliant, talented in so many ways and incredibly intelligent not to mention very approachable. He wrote two books, one using the proceeds for the worlds largest carrot in Carrotland and the other for charity. I love, love, love how he's always done charitable work to help others and had past employment assisting homeless.
Watching Ollie eat a taco from the top was the most expected British interpretation of eating tacos I could think of hahaha
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!! OMG it broke my break. Like the "put it in the square hole" girl it's just wrong.
Yup all I could think of is who put a cob of corn in his hands I thought he was eating Tacos. Gotta eat it like a hotdog Ollie
Yes!! I thought the same!! Lol!!
That was very enlightening. The meanest, roughest, nastiest guy in Hollywood is actually a pretty nice guy that is saving lives left and right in drug and alcohol counseling. Who knew? His movies may not be my cup of tea, but a definitive success story if I've ever seen one. Very inspiring.
The interview skills from Ollie in this video are just immaculate!
Greetings from L.A., the home of Trejo's Tacos. Danny also owns Trejo's Coffee & Donuts on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood. As mentioned in the interview, his life has been a story of successes and overcoming challenges.
I wish he had a place near me, that food looked so damn good!
Loving the contrast in content between jolly and Korean Englishman rn
Danny's an absolute legend here in the City of Angels, so glad he's spreading his positive humanitarian vibes to the UK too! 😎
Ollie is a delight to have as an interviewer. I mean he is a delight to have in general but the thoughtfulness he put in these are amazing. He has such a kind and joyful way with people. Simply a wonderful human.
Wow the level of dedication and research Ollie puts in for every person and content in their videos is one of the main reasons why this channel is so successful. He reads Danny Trejo's memoir in preparation for the video and has all these questions for the guests that really show them that he's interested in them and what they're doing.
Ollie is really coming into his own. Very intelligent, kind and handsome young man. This was a moving interview in the best way. Thanks.
This collaboration was something I never even thought of, BUT WOW amazing people being amazing together. I was riveted the entire time and at the end thought, man... I want to see more of them together. I assume Danny is a busy guy, it's great he was able to take some time to meet you guys.
Had the pleasure of meeting this guy once living in LA. Really cool and down to earth just as he’s portrayed here. Glad the people of England get to experience this dude.
I can't believe he's 80! He looks amazing! What a great interview, and his food looks absolutely delicious! You guys got a real treat in both trying his food but getting to sit down with a true legend. 👍💛
Clicked to watch a food review, and stayed to watch a really good interview. Credit to Ollie (and probably Josh too) for doing excellent research going in. Trejo must’ve loved this
Love how much Ollie researched and looked into things for this interview.
Good one.
Loved this segment.
Danny Trejo is Awesome!
There are few people in this world with a more beautiful heart than Danny Trejo. Amazing interview guys. Love from Buenos Aires, Argentina ❤
Danny Trejo is an absolute legend and one of my favourite actors. I’m so happy he has opened a taco joint in the UK, we need proper Mexican food in our lives. I wish him the best of success and hope one day to try em. Thanks lads! Don’t forget to wash down with a good glug of Don Julio Anejo!
Amen to that! If there's one thing the UK lacks, it's good Mexican food!
11:10 Never knew this about Ollie. I have so much respect for that, man. Everyone on earth deserves respect and compassion as we are made in the imagine of God. Great interview!
Yes!
I recommend you watch their interview in the try guys podcast. He talked about it in more details there before fully immersing himself with youtube work.
@@Catherine-Zane I'll check that out, thank you. =)
I am so happy to see Danny here! He's so legit, including his inspiring honesty about sobriety. Also that food also looks legit. Congrats, London!
Also, Ollie is such a present, engaging interviewer. Well done!
One of the truly nicest men in hollywood !!!
Insane collab
I came to the comment section to write you praises on these interviews you've been doing, and I see, everyone agrees. It's so nice seeing how comfortable people become when they realise you have actually done your research, you are genuinely interested and are promoting their work and sharing their story. As a viewer I appreciate this immensely. Keep doing amazing work.
This is the best video yet that y'all have done! Love Trejo he is such an inspiration to so many people. Shows what you can accomplish if you are kind to others and work hard. Amazing
MY JAW LITERALLY DROPPED DANNY TREJO?!?!
Are you kidding me??? Did Josh just call refried beans bean sauce?? 🤣🤣🤣
A British Gringo is still a Gringo.
This is why I came to the comments! 😎😎🤘🤘
I thought this and then I realized who it was lmaooo
Yeah lmao
Or Olly saying Tack-Os.
Wow. This episode is so overwhelming, from Ollie killing it with the questions, Josh absolutely enjoying the food, 3 of them talking like they're old friends that haven't seen each others for a long time, and how Danny Trejo talking about helping people, being nice to others, giving back to community, and having good things in return at the right time... Gosh, my heart os so full. This episode is very heartwarming.
didn’t know I needed this! absolutely amazing video
Happy 80th Birthday (yesterday) to Danny Trejo!
Absolutely your best episode so far! The questions yall asked Danny Trejo allowed for such a natural conversation to happen! He seems like such an amazing human and im glad yall make these videos❤❤❤
Didn't ever expect to see this collab but I am so glad I did. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is one of the best videos on the channel if not the best. Danny Trejo is a treasure and someone that I've seen in various movies but also really respect.
Ollie did an amazing job with all the research! I'm also so jealous that you both got to not only meet him but also have some of that food!
10:52 Danny gives a lot back to the community ❤
He does, we love him here so much
Good job boys and Ollie has become such an excellent interviewer!
How you doin
@@A-rl4or there is no way you’re tryna holla at a girl on CZcams comments. Seek help dude.
@@Matt-Varvorski-Go-Birds how you doin big boy
@@Matt-Varvorski-Go-Birds this girl is completely ignoring him 🤣🤣🤣🤣
he's such an inspiration 🥰 he's a really cool person and the food looked amazing!
this was awesome, I really enjoyed it :)
That has got to be my favorite video you have done to date. It was so awesome! Thank you sooo much!
Ollie did a stellar job as interviewer, really just elevated this fun video. Danny is such a delightful and good humored person who just loves life.
I have been WAITING for this to open in London!! Literally tracking progress for months lol. Can't wait to pay a visit!
make sure you try the street corn. lots of people in Cali eat it and i always thought it was a weird thing but once I tried it, I can’t get enough. 😋
@@c.a.t.1791 I'll make sure to, thanks!
I absolutely LOVE Danny Trejo. He is so warm and strong and caring. He has turned his life around many years ago and he is just such an inspiration. I am so glad that he has had the success he has had and I pray he has many more years of equal or better success to come
I’ve watched hundreds of your videos and this is absolutely my favorite one!! Thank you so much!!!
Wow! That is amazing Danny Trejo sat down with you! What a guy!
Man, what a solid video. Danny Trejo, tacos, Ollie looking like Eleven from Stranger Things, heartfelt conversation.. this is a new favourite.
yall are the best hosts in media!!! You always know your stuff. You do so much research on the guest its amazing!
Trejo is one of my favorite "Hollywood" types. He's just always REAL! Great vid guys. And Ollie was fantastic with the interview portion.
Omggg, I love Danny Trejo so much!!! 😍😍😍 Talk was an amazing, if unexpected crossover collab!!! You guys are so lucky to have been able to mee Mr. Trejo! 🥹
"I never thought I'd make it outta jail!"
Man Danny is a legend
This has to be one of the best interviews, Love the honesty with Danny and Ollie, love for every human makes the world a better place.
I loved this interview and I'm flabbergasted to find out he just turned 80 yesterday! Happy birthday!
Danny Trejo in korea sounds like the craziest week ever
This would be amazing.
Never thought i see Danny Trejo featured on Jolly!!!🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for touching on the topic of addiction and recovery. I lost my daughter when she was 19 and I just appreciate it so much when a people show that their is hope and recovery is possible. thank you thank you
My worlds are colliding. Danny is a legend and we're big fans of Jolly. Wow. Happy Birthday, Mr. Trejo. Y muchos mas.
This was great! As a fellow Los Angelino, Danny Trejo makes us proud. And, man, does that food look amazing. Vermont needs one of his restaurants, that's for sure.
My mom grew up in the Vermont area in the nineteen teens, a looooooong time ago.
Well dang, that was wholesome as anything! Great interviewing by Ollie too!
best interview ive watched so far! great job!
Love love love Danny Trejo ! That is a real American through and through
Mr Trejo is truly a sweet human being.
God bless him.
How on EARTH do you guys have such amazing chemistry with each and every guest? I mean you guys are genuinely amazing. And Danny Trejo is such a sweet man!! I love his laugh 😂😂
Amazing hangout & interview. Great job!
Great interview. It is refreshing to see someone ask questions who has actually read the book. This man is a treasure and I've never heard anything bad about him. If more folks would give back and help their communities, the world would be a lovely place.
my new favorite video on this channel, Danny is a true legend!
Danny Trejo seems like a really amazing person ! I am very impressed by him. Thanks a lot Ollie and Josh for this great video.
