- Danny Trejo almost didn’t make it. The heavily tattooed, Los Angeles-bred actor and entrepreneur was addicted to drugs and in and out of prison for a decade before turning his life around and appearing in huge films like Machete and Heat -- plus nearly 300 others throughout his prolific career. Danny came on Wide Open the podcast in his classic no-filter style to tell us about his wild journey, dropping all sorts of knowledge along the way.

He's one hundred times more admirable and inspiring for his honest *humility.* He doesn't claim to be special or better. He's just grateful.
And his genuineness - not an act. And his awesome enthusiasm and expressiveness.
His humble warm respect for Charles Bronson, and others, makes perfect sense.
A role model in so many regards.
Danny is for real. Love this man.
Saw Danny 11/20/19 driving next to me in the Valley. Said what's up & he acknowledged me. A few years ago I ran into him for the 1st time, I had to get a picture. I got it. He's a really humble guy.
Great interview.
Thank u mr Trejo we need more people like u in this world !
Tony, did a tremendous job managing this interview. Not easy to do....managing the time, keeping things going, and allowing Danny to express himself especially with him having a colorful and non-conventional background. Salute. Just subscribed .
Always liked Danny, but didn't know about his troubles. I like him even more after this interview! My brother-in-law met him once in an airport and said he was really very nice!
I like when they started to to talk about how prison can teach you the mind set of one day at a time and stay in the present. That's key for me in my sobriety. Thank you Danny Trejo and Tony Gonzalez for the incredible interview
I love Danny Trejo's movies!
Funny AF!! He should write a screenplay of his life and experiences, exactly how he tells them in his vernacular. Love him!!
Yes! That would be amazing. And leave Hollyweird out of it.
I work online and listening to these is so relaxing, love these man, so easy to stay focused! keep them up!
What do you do online fam? I'm interested in working at home as well. I just want a legit job no scams.
Humbled By Yah hey brotha, I do online marketing, it’s not easy, I recommended doing research for yourself, and avoid relying on individual people like me for info! My Instagram is ojohnnyyyy
Thank you Toni! Best most honest podcast. His story was so honest and you were so kind.
59:20 @Disney Put this man in The Mandalorian!!
Machete my man,love his movies
Never forget meeting him. I was shocked how short he was, but his wisdom and insight was large as I expected. It was like 2am and he was still open to sit and chat with me. Dope G. And I won't repeat a lot of what we talked about, because we got codes we obey. Danny a certified G FOR REAL.
Great interview. Really love the whole vibe of this show. Danny's the man. Really enjoyed this, thank you 🙏👌

Danny Trejo. **Unscripted.** From a one-hour-plus extremely passionate and entirely unscripted interview with motivational speaker and Hall of Fame athlete Tony Gonzalez. This begins at 50:16 during that interview:
"Everywhere I go I have tunnel vision. I wake up in the morning, I say my prayers. 'Dear heavenly Father. Let me sign every autograph, let me take every picture. Dear heaven Father, let me help 3 people today, at least 3 people'. "
"I do that because that's my *job.* My mom said, 'You know, you think God made you actor because, "ooh, you're 'ooh' ??" He made you an actor to sign every autograph, take every picture, and say God Bless You, to *everybody.*
And they're listening when you say God Bless You, because God put you in this position."
"I owe. I ain't paid up yet...I ain't paid up, Holmes!"
"God's got a plan for all of us."
I think there's a teaser/preview clip in there for you, Tony - sans profanity. Consider adding profanity to front screen disclaimers.
Danny Trejo is the youngest almost-80 guy around. He talks and acts much younger and has a whole lot of life in him. I hope he’s around for a long time to come, because he has a lot of wisdom to instill to the kids.
Awesome…most humblest man everrr🙏🏽🤍🙏🏽
The real deal!! Legend and all around good guy Danny is!
Thx Danny for your help
If people never grew up in that lifestyle and come where Danny Trejo came from then they'll never understand what he's talking about.
Hey Tony! It was nice meeting you a few years ago! #KC 💝🌹🦄

But now you're doing 1:09
I, sow Danny trejo today. I, wasn't recognize Him after he left I, ask to sanone these a. actor he say yes
some people should not try to interview others. At least try to act like you are comprehending what your guest says. This guy is thinking about his next question instead of listening to his guest.
I followed his finger 24:01
Danny always got the best stories. Tony your not the best interviewer you don't acknowledge what danny would talk about and skip to the next question
