      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.

      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 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.

      @@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)?

    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

    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.

      There was a Trejo's Tacos in Redwood City for a hot minute, but it seems to have closed down for some reason. Honestly I was just assuming that it had stiff competition there since Redwood City has so many great Mexican spots and has for many years.

    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.

    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
