    Terrible at interviewing..
    The guests are good but could be a lot better. The host is awful and talks over the guests and likes to hear himself talk.

    Decnet podcast but broadcast TV has less commercials.

    Sneak Disser But Enjoy The Guests
    This dude gets great guest but sometimes his low self esteem comes through.
  • Dave Smith is a clown
    Johnny is just a big bore
    Terrific guests. Host is a hack who can’t seem to get out of the way. Also, his take on middle eastern geopolitics made me dumber for having suffered through it.
  • im real 84747$;-)(=)&))&
    SO MANY ADS
    The show might be decent; but the ads are out of control. Not worth your time.
  • RM928
    Less Talking More Listening
    We listen to an interview to hear the person being interviewed. Too many times Johnny talks over his guests and that’s just poor interviewing. Its also really awkward when guests tell Johnny how wrong his assumptions are. Let the guests do the speaking and you’ll come off as smarter.
  • Aanwadecescakl799

    The host is comically stupid but the guests are interesting.

    review
    good show but way too many ads and this show doesn’t do it like others where they do it after somebody’s done talking. they cut right in the middle of a sentence so by the time the ads over u forget what they were talking about
  • bbge1.0
    Best Pod of its Kind (& 1 correct)
    Love this pod. But I think “el Primo” Donald Wayne Tomkins is spelled wrong. On google, most returns I see are spelled THOMPKINS
  • aquaman916
    Stop editing language!
    The editing of the swearing has made this podcast unlistenable!
  • Filimonaso
    Entertainment
    Great podcast better than most ,tv shows books , the news , and most podcast . It’s a rollercoaster ride on many of these podcast . Interesting people, wild story’s and I know because I listen to several several podcast . Great questions by the way I’m not a criminal at all and some of these people’s life changing stories helped me . Overall I haven’t stopped listening everyday and looking forward to the old podcast I haven’t heard and new stuff .
  • Coinbase fails again
    Are these all edited now? Pimp interview
    The sharp interview is edited to the point that it's unlistenable. You can talk about savage violence and packing drugs in your A.. but we draw the line at pimp?!?!
  • Beefpatty
    Great Podcast
    Great podcast. Very interesting and love the interviews and guests you have on the show. Keep it up.
  • Dyb3
    Decent
    Decent pod with a good premise. Johnny does well on the interview, but sometimes he’s more argumentative than necessary. I mean, sometimes it’s like he’s vetting them during the interview, and I was tuning in to hear a story from a verified, finished product. Not bad, could be better.
  • bosmart17
    Johnny took the red pill
    Enjoyed the crime podcasts and tolerated the occasional partisan rant. His bias has been coming out more and more he shifted to straight up conspiracy theory. Too bad because the guy is entertaining. I’m out.
  • god shamgod fat lever
    Stick to what you know
    Show was entertaining at first when it was about the drug trade, but has veered into joe rogan-lite with uninformed commentary on politics.
  • endriknaim
    Awesome
    My favorite, crime podcast. Great story telling, great guest and great video, if listening to it on yt.
  • Smallmouth CEO
    Excellent
    My new favorite crime show. Awesome storytelling by every guest.
  • Robert Clowney Jr
    Annoying
    Right, right
  • Joeynsc
    Needs more podcast between commercials
    I like the podcast content but every few minutes it’s another commercial or two. I don’t know if it’s greed or just poor numbers but it makes me reconsider downloading
  • jim0330
    Used to be good
    At first his podcasts were really good and entertaining but now he is rude to his guests, tries to twist the story of the guests and acts like he’s still a thug like he’s still in the life. I recommend the older episodes but the new ones aren’t good.
  • make america stoked again
    Johnny tha plug
    Not only is this guy hilarious, he gets great content and interviews incredibly interesting criminals and always breaks down the numbers. So sick!
  • Geurianc
    Soft
    Can talk about drugs and murder but censor out cuss words grow up
  • ddawgz
    Bias
    E80.like the information but the guess is very bias.
  • je8263
    🤷🏼‍♂️
    Great people on the show, it’s a tough listen. I think you need to not cut off your interviewees as much. Let them speak, makes the conversations hard to follow
  • Cheddachipgetta
    Best Podcast Ever!
    I wish I could be friends with “Johnny”. He seems great.
  • Myamya1998
    Shhhh
    I wish he would let her tell the story and quit interrupting her and talking over her.. Let her tell the tale love the guest but he needs to work on his interview skills!!
  • Mark Jawn
    Really really good
    Love the YT channel had no idea he had a pod also, really good sound quality too
  • Long/Straight
    Great Pod!
    Love the questions you ask. You don’t assume the viewer knows every intricacy of the Crimes these guys commit. I’m new to the pod,4 episodes in, but have seen Tons of clips on YT. The Freeway interview has been my favorite so far. But all have been really good! Keep up the great work!
  • LizN'Alan
    Rick Ross interview
    This is from 1/14/2024 interview where this guy is ill prepared to interview Freeway Rick Ross. I’m surprised Rick didn’t just walk away. Time after time this interviewer got dates wrong names wrong quantities wrong I mean Jesus Christ guy just quit this abortion of a podcast already. You’re a horrible interviewer.
  • neo12677
    Interesting but same type subjects
    All interesting and you want to listen but the host butts in quite a bit so if that annoys you I’d pass
  • bbretz78
    Great Podcast
    He is killing it with some very awesome guests recently. This quickly becoming one of my top podcasts. Keep up the great work.
  • brettfavrewasaviking
    Just found this and love it!
    Very solid interviewer and guests!
  • clayco666
    If you want real this is your stop
    Great show man first off secondary I recommend if your into gangs,drugs,real life risks and consequences, thrill, and action one of the best shows you could ask for
  • HonkyKong276
    Love the show!
    Man, I’ve listened to every single episode. I can usually relate pretty well, having been through some things myself and just finished my bid a year ago. That being said, you should stick to your usual subject matter. That last guest, the alien conspiracy theory guy, just didn’t really fit. Overall though, your show is fantastic and I always anticipate your next episode! Keep up the good work!
  • Gage Burdick
    .
    Great show, but let the guest talk more. Too much interruption.
  • garbagerobbie
    #1 Show
    GREAT SHOW JOHNNY IS FANTASTIC
  • Fancy Bread
    Can’t Stop Talking Over Guests
    The content of this podcast is fascinating. However, the host constantly talks over his guests, finishes their sentences for them, or interrupts the flow of listening by saying “right, right” loudly. Listening to this last episode was impossible, he was interviewing a surfer about drug trafficking and the guest could hardly get a word in. Practice better hosting/listening skills, or take a class on how to do it!
  • gnosisrosa
    C/O (Sgt) Bravo episode
    First off, I really appreciate The Connect pod, your inquisitive nature, mixed with your intellect and your past lends to great interviews. Thank you for get Bravo’s experience and opinions from the other side of the line, I’m on that side and I can absolutely attest to his firsthand institutional knowledge. Real facts, I’m gonna share this episode with probably 100 C/O’s later, cause ours is a muted voice. The civilian population doesn’t really understand the grind
  • AgronAlum
    Music
    I can’t get over how distracting the loud background music is to the conversation. I had to unsubscribe.
  • Grantemery0026
    Best Podcast Out Right Now
    Had to check out this podcast after listening to Johnny on YMH and haven’t been able to stop binge listening to this show since. Definitely the best podcast I’ve listened to in a while. Keep ‘em coming!
  • Brhino 206
    That’s it
    Johnny is lagit . I live in P -Town and was out law about 6-8 years earlier then him. I did about 48 months around that era. His Podcasts is word. It’s exactly how it is!
  • LPIV 203
    Tight show!!
    Great content Johnny! Makes my work day way better
  • comedyisntinpolotics
    Rated PG?
    Dude. I had to stop listening. You guys bleep out the sweat words? I get bleeping out names. But I can’t continue when the “bad” words are bleeped out. It was good while it lasted.
  • KillaCarver
    Keep it real
    Great podcast and I love how he keeps it real. Good Job and congrats
