Fr podcasters should take notes..shut the hell up sometimes!!why do you bring on a guest to just interject your thoughts and over talk the guest?!!!

The guy is an actor dude … he may be thinking about a game but makes you believe he’s paying attention
This interview was intense. I felt so much anxiety listening to all his stories. I’m happy he’s here, alive, and well 🙏
When Conejo was on drugs on the run for murder in Mexico connecting with his spiritual side he dropped some of the best and most intense hip hop ive ever heard.

Jonnie B is the best interviewer out there right now. He doesn’t just sit, stay quite, and hear. He “listens”. There’s a difference. He let’s people talk and comebacks with things they said 10-20 minutes before asking meaningful questions.
Of all the stereotypical "celebrity starting a podcast" type gigs, you, Jon, are the only one who actually set yourself apart and provide a real unique perspective as well as a lot of value in yourself and the guests you bring on.

Like Conejo said "in the City of Angels there are no Angels puros vatos locos and crazy gangbangers" So much truth to that
I think this is the first and only podcast I’ve heard so far where they let the guest speak with no interruptions and they just listen.
Been a CONEJO fan since 98

In each interview he says things he didn’t say in the others I think he did that so they wouldn’t all be the same yk give the people something different but most of it is the same just put in a different way
That time spent over here in Mex reallly humbled Conejo and turned him into the wise man he is today.
I’ve been ducking this story for whatever reason but now that I’ve heard it I’m blown away…that part of where he mentioned his daughter screaming really hit me
Conejo life is one to remember.
This is probably the one dude I would want to hear talk about the hood. Such a dope interview and popped up randomly

I used to work at the same spot as him back in 2000 different departments. I would be on break and he’d be on his lunch and I’d pack a bowl of chronic and smoke him out and he would tell me stories.
We need a movie about the last 3 days leading up to the capture. It be a SICK film. Let’s make it happen Jon Bernthal!!!!!
Conejo needs a movie asap definitely would dope to watch his story on film.
I'm not crying but my tears are coming out
Crazy story & awesome to see how well he's doing now! You do an exceptional job interviewing your guests and allowing them to tell their stories!
Been waiting for this one. Shout out to conejo & Jon thanks for making this happen
G-Rabbs💙 you deserve a proper biofilm man!!! Cmon this man wrote some of the most impressive pieces if rap music ive ever heard. I moved to jalisco to learn Mexican culture and i was submerged in the sureno culture and they got me hip and i bought everything I could of his music at the pulgar.

Pretty interesting on how this is Conejo’s all time best interview ever , he doesn’t do a lot , he’s a done a few but for some reason , this one is very impactful ! First few mins got me hooked and got me listening to every word . Very deep stuff

My boy life is a movie with no cuts. Great interview from all parties involved 👏
His music has got me thru a lot these past 13 years. And his new album The Reset is amazing. His songs H.O.P.E & Momento get me Everytime respect to Conejo and sharing his story.
Jon Bernthal is a celebrity listening so intensely. He’s a good man.

I used to have a poster of Conejo in my room that said, THE SICKEST CHICANO IN RAP from the Teen Angel Magazine
Jon seems like one of the most humblest dudes ever just lets people speak and asks the right questions to let the guest get into detail
You always have real ones in your channel Jon, OG Conejo is one of the baddest if not the baddest Chicano rapper ever and is about that life. Unlike many rappers today who wannabe gangsters. Keep up the good work
Excellent podcast, it helps a lot to hear from the ones that we look up to.
His new album the reset is the best album that has dropped this year… so far

Conejo, to me, was the first Mexican Rapper that actually put me up on game. It makes me happy that guys did this. Hopefully there's another one soon!
Damm what a crazy story Conejo was telling you guys about everything we went through when we was young from knowing Cartel people, being on the run from the Law for 15 years to o almost doing life in prison and being free and doing movies. This interview is like a movie of hes life
No truer words have been spoken. On speaking to his past enemies. We’re from the same neighborhoods and we made it out of there. It was crazy! Yes it was! Grown man shit. That life was a waste of time in a grown man’s eyes. God is good.
