I will never stop being amazed at their ability to relate literally every possible lifestyle to being a comedian lol
To be fair, it was Johnny who made that connection this episode.
Johnny is also a comedian
LMAO why do all comedians do that shit 😂😂😂
@@aodigital9421 I know I just think it’s funny because Andrew always has the same look on his face when he either agrees with it or says it himself. Someone always makes the connection it’s awesome
@@jmanster195 I’m aware but I still think it’s funny that in almost every episode where they have a guest, someone makes the connection
I've never heard of this guy before and the first half hour is the most compelling podcasting I'll hear all week goddamn
Same bro! Shits entertaining af
He also has a WAY more in depth dive on all his interactions w/ the cartel on his KZhead channel . good shit. This guy should be our generations' Frank Abagnale, but u ain't hear nothing coming from the US GOV! Kinda makes u realize WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THE THE CIA/FBI USGOVT, lol.
Y P Po
His SHORTS on KZhead are AMAZING 👏
Bruh you never got the yt shorts of this guy 😭 Feel like I know everything about this mufkr 😂😂
The chemistry between Johnny and everyone was so perfect right from the beginning😂😂 you should have him on more often
He one of us
Honestly it only gets better as it goes
Dude is a liar.
this comment is completely correct
No it wasn't. The other three seem to have their egos taking over. They think their commentary is more valuable than letting their audience hear the guest. I'm seeing happen over time. Andrew needs to reign them in a bit
From begining to end this podcast was fucking riveting. The dynamic between everyone was so good. Hope you guys do another one soon
It was reveting because it's probably not true. I believe that he was probably a junkie, nothing more. If he is who claims he is, I'm a mau mau fighter pilot.
Hello fellow drug dealers, man this guy is a phoney
@@prasathcs7377 he’s verified your a nobody that’s the difference to call him a junkie when he was selling weed is hilarious stay mad and broke
@@prasathcs7377 I see his shorts on here all the time. It’s 99% BS
You know he's a giant liar right 😅
This dude is legitimately funny and cool.
oh, and Andrew is one of those things...
Yeah I clocked it from the Mexican joke. Funny dude.
His podcast is lowkey firee 🔥
@@jordanjoe7276 im gonna have to give it a listen.
This dude is a low level nobody who exaggerates his balls off
One of the best flagrant Eps so damn entertaining. 3 hrs felt like 30 minutes, Great stuff guys!
Every other episode I be skipping every 5 minutes, but this one was exceptionally interesting. The dude has some sweet tongue
@@abdulazizharoon3693 AYOOOO
@@abdulazizharoon3693 not only was he a good host but he the whole room actually was in on it too.
Just like prison
He’s got a podcast called The Connect with Johnny Mitchel if you wanna check more of him out. He makes good content.
This is probably my favorite podcast episode ever. Wow this was most entertaining and engaging dude I think I’ve seen on KZhead. Definitely tapping in to his content moving forward. 3+ hours I was locked in lol
totally. absolutely right!
One of the most overall entertaining podcasts I’ve seen. Really well done. Johnny Mitchell is the fuggin man. Great job Schultz
You know its a great podcast when you actually go into the comments to see what other people are saying about it. 10/10
Idk i more often do that too gauge whether or not a podcast is worth listening to
Facts
@@AMP4K z
u guessed what i did just now. lol
Huh? I got to comments to see if people are talking sht or not and see if it's worth it.
The variety in guests is one of this podcasts greatest strengths. It’s a nice combo of the biggest names and hidden gems. Plus the episodes with just the boys are always gold.
Absolutely, unmatched variety with the flagrant crew's guest slection
You all have a weird parasocial thing with Andrew who probably couldn’t give a fuck less about you guys. Weird…
One of if not the best episode yet. Johnny has the ability to narrate a story to perfection, keeping everyone's minds captivated. The rest let him navigate without interruption.. Perfecto! ❤
Ya if they let him speak and stop putting in their 2 cents every 10 seconds.
Man gotta say, 1000% relate to gettin comfortable in there. So much easier than having real responsibilities on the outside. I’m not strung out in there, workin out, playin cards with the boys, regular routine, no problems… things get real easy once you’re locked in with that mindset
with that pfp i bet you love being in there with the boys
Guys a savage Shultz always pulls the best guests
Lmao so true
@@GH-cd6oq welp neither one of us knows 100% I listen for fun not for facts bro
What makes him a savage?
@@jmaldonado741 just his ability to get guests
I wish he would just let them talk and finish their thought.
Dudeeeeee y’all don’t even know how much I as a fan appreciate this episode! I really love that you don’t have just 1 lane as far as a “type” of guest you guys have in. Super versatile, and that’s what separates you guys from so many pods. Also, the fact I found this guys content from YTshorts as well, and subscribed but have yet to get into the rabbit hole that is his longer form of content. But dude EXCELLENT pod not only because of the guest cus he was an amazing guest, but you all vibed with him perfectly. Plus I love how he was busting marks balls and kinds jokingly giving him a hard time at one point. Was absolutely one of the highlights of the episode, very very funny Shit. Again great pod guys, keep these phenomenal episodes coming !!!👌🏼✊🏼💯💯💯
This was a great podcast, took me a couple of days to finish it however I’m glad I kept on coming back to finish it. Great Story telling and laughs.
This is why legacy media can NEVER compete with the internet. 3 hours of conversation that provided me with almost every aspect of comedic appreciation, curiosity, and human emotion available. The balance to this convo was so good. Small criticism... There were a couple times where Schulz would interject, mid sentence, when he's explaining something paramount to the story just to get a joke off, and the story would trail. I said out loud "Bro, shut up! Let him finish!" a couple times lol That said, this was 🔥
100%
That's one of Andrew's worst characteristics as an interviewer, he does this with a lot of guests. I still love the show and all but yeah he has the tendency to talk over the guests quite a lot.
easily one of the greatest guests and episodes by far. feel like I'm gonna be fiending for this kind of storytelling and interview quality from here on out. the bar has been raised!
What is his youtube name
@@thormccrete4061 I'd assumed you've found it by now but if not word for word it is "The Connect: with Johnny Mitchell"
You realize that he's full of shit right? He was never a dealer. You white suburbanites are hilariously naive to think this guy was actually dealing more than a few grams at the local burger king 🤡 Dude is so fake. Nobody talks about prison. Unless they got raped
@@thormccrete4061shoenice22
One of if not the best episode yet. Johnny has the ability to narrate a story to perfection, keeping everyone's minds captivated. The rest let him navigate without interruption.. Perfecto!
This man keeps changing his stories. I’ve seen other shorts of him saying this same story, different facts
I just know alot of the stuff he says about prison, isnt how prison works. And i dont understand why the fiction.
This was probably the most captivating episode of flagrant yet in my opinion. I love when you guys get these amazing guests with interesting stories
😂😂😂😂 the guys full of shit
Literally all lies
@@yehheapsmadaybut his paperwork checks out buddy, he’s legit
This story is fake. Johnny mitchell is a fraud.
@@eternalglow6483 Mitchell is a total liar doing this for KZhead clout. Don't believe this guy.
One of the absolute best Flagrant episodes, Johnny is an interesting and funny dude. Much appreciated gents.
How is it the best with how much andrew and everyone talks over everyone ??
I think they didn’t talk over his fraudulent ass enough personally
@@Reviewthisworld ac
@@Reviewthisworld 💀💀💀
@@Reviewthisworld you kinda got that phony feeling bout him too huh? me too dawg i can’t blame you at all lol 😂 idk why it’s sumn bout him that makes me think “well if all this was true… then x and y would be different..” plus I don’t think he worked for any cartel at all specially not a mexican one.
He deserves this interview I seen his grind and heard his story I am inspired for sure
As mentioned in the podcast, I read Shantaram. Such a great book! One that hurts to finish because you never want it to end. Thank you!
It's insane to say but, Flagrant is legitimately the best interview show going around. Unbeatable for humour, emotion, information and for making guests comfortable.
They’re called podcasts.
@@v-i-be that's why it's so insane that it's the best interview show, numb nut 😂🤡
@@v-i-be 😂
Agreed
They are too many doe
I love how they muted the drug partner's name when Johnny is saying it but NOT when Andrew does!!!
Reggie is probably pissed 👀
I was wondering if anyone else caught that lmaoooo
@@dregosteelI feel like every town has a dealer named reggie I’m sure it’s all good
Sure they could figure it out from Johnny’s podcast with that name now haha
Reggie was a different guy, I think
Love the way you chaps engage with people from all walks of life in such an organic way. My man is a absolute lunatic 🤯 albeit effortlessly nonchalant. Great episode.
This was the first Flagrant podcast that kept my interest all the way through. Fascinating stories from Johnny.
Man the prison system aint worth the crime bro thats what makes me nervous about people wrongfully arrested
Chael Sonnen keeps you hanging on EVERY word and massively entertained. The girl who escaped North Korea was some super adult level top notch interview that most of our country needs to hear.
Huge congrats to Johnny on making it to this podcast! That's a big deal
Is he a comedian? Never heard of him
@@jimpowers0810 yea but he’s more known for his podcast on KZhead called The connect with Johnny Mitchell. It’s a pretty good pod if you’re interested.
@@reececisneros1622 thank you!
@@reececisneros1622 real ones know him from the leo and danny show
Nice seeing Andrew have a laugh with his younger brother
WTF is Alexx Media doing on that couch? he contributes absolutely nothing. It's annoying just watching him sit there in what he calls "fashion"
😭 I really think to myself why does every male guest and him look alike
They got the same dad or some shi
I swear i was about to write something like this lol
I don't get it, is this a race joke?
This is the best interview so far for sure! Everything was on point from conversations to questions and the chemistry!! 👍🏽
Johnny Mitchell deserves all the success he’s getting. He’s been grinding in these LA clubs and mics for years. I couldn’t be happier to see him shining after all that hard ass work.
Talking about the fake criminal big shot?
@@skankytrick lol There are more ex cons in comedy than you probably realize. If Johnny was a Black man or Latino, you wouldn't question his story at all. That's on you.
@@bamm86 Well you're assuming quite a lot for a White-hating racist. It is not hard to imagine a multitude of "ex cons" in comedy, considering it is more about luck than anything in terms of being convicted of a crime. In most states, literally everything you do in your daily life could fall under the statutory definition of one crime or another. Being an "ex con" is more normal than not, unless you grew up as a cloistered, emasculated simpleton. Other races get locked up more than black people, even though black people commit the majority of violent crimes. If you asked anyone to guess the race of an armed home invasion robber, the best guess would be Black. People assume Blacks commit the most crimes because they DO commit the most crimes. Even Black people are most afraid of other black people. And your ignorant, racist comments notwithstanding, I know this guy is full of shit because I was locked up for over 7 years, including 5 years in a max security prison, and I've seen it all and heard it all. And that's why it all seems cute and intriguing to you despite not having a damn clue wtf you're talking about.
And ruined many lives with drugs.. let’s not forget that little factor
@@Thebutcher91 lmao he sold weed
Saw a quick clip on TikTok turned it off 30 seconds in cause I knew I’d wanna watch the whole thing, instantly switch to yt, 3 hours later, great show
Respect homie. I did 18 years in Oregon prisons, day for day Measure 11s. I’m not affiliated, a rat, or rapist, and can relate. 1999-2016 I made it through post prison supervision with NO violations. Congrats. Keep it real
God bless u bro !
🙏🏾
Welcome back brother
Blessings 🙌
Happy your out stay out broski
I thank god for being alive during this era! You couldn't get access to this type of conversation and story a few years ago. Maybe only by happenstance you'd run into or partied with guys like Johnny Mitchell. This is Wild.
And that this is all fiction, you still can’t get access to this info IRL
First ever 3 hour podcast I’ve ever sat through until the end without pausing
This is one of my favorite podcast episodes ever
This is the kind of conversation dads have over a drink at the end of the night at a family gathering. Super engaging and never-ending.
Hell yea! About time Johnny gets some recognition. This dude puts out quality content.
It’s all bullshit. Good stories all fake.
His blow up has been fast. Helps he is also a comedian so it makes it easier to join these convos
Facts
The chemistry between Johnny and everyone was so dope. 🔥🔥🔥
Dude I watched all 3 hours of this from beginning to end. This hit home for sure.
Took all the trouble to bleep out his partners name and Shultz says his name twice 😅
~reggie~ 😍
Lmao I caught that too 😂😂😂😂
@@Mk-qt2bl 🤫
It’s a fictional story bro trust me it’s cool
And my partners names not Reggie IRL 😉
This interview was a great episode and really gave me a lot of insight on Johnny and some of the experiences he's gone through, subscribing to that Johnny for episode #5 for sure 😉
Hes a giant liar get your head straight dude
One of your best guests ever. His videos are insane as well
Andrew, right now i am havin a panick attack and i feel like im going insane, your podcast helps me distract myself, thank you
God bless you I can relate
I understand completely Are you taking any medications? You can talk to me
Just an fyi there's tons of channels to help overcome that. There's also neutral remedies to help. I get them too n it sucks. For me they just come out of nowhere. I hope you learn to overcome them. Best wishes
I love that "What's up everybody" at the beginning of each episode. Really gets me in the mood to watch the pod!
Amazing chemistry, and great questions and comments! This episode was one of my favorites all around.
1st time hearing of Johnny Mitchell but having seen this story today ill check him out now for sure.
one of the best and most entertaining podcast episodes i’ve heard
I watched almost all the episodes of Johnny’s story and man it’s definitely a trip to find out about and how everything connects together
Somehow your best guest yet. More charismatic and engaging than 99% of comedians. Make him a regular.
The podcasts like this are always the best
I haven't watched the show in over a year and it's wild how much has changed
This actually might be legit the most entertaining guest I’ve ever seen on a podcast
As a Mexican I approve this episode 😂 the beginning has me dying
Go watch the most recent 'lemon party' episode. Mexican approved as well 🌮 🇲🇽
Super Logical
Ralph should apologize to George Lopez
@@ironpandaloco George is a clown
@@B-RaDD I'll check it out after this episode. thanks for putting me on brother
One the best episodes hands down and I wanna find Johnny Stand up
Huge fan of the podcast. Timeless.
Yo this is an amazing podcast lol this dude is awesome and i've literally stopped doing any work so I can just listen in to these stories lol
Goddaum hearing some one else have the same story is insane, it really helped me relate, I thought I was alone in this feeling for so long, it's hard to think how many other people have had similar experiences, straight hit me like a brick.
Same here.
Lol not alone my friend. This guy hit nails and smiles on mr
Shoutout from Lake Oswego, appreciate your services
This was one of the most entertaining episodes thus far. Fascinating dialogue.
This was one of the most interesting and best interviews/shows in the last couple months guys. Loved this
We need him on again for more stories! One of the best episodes!
Man, I stumbled on this podcast a few weeks back and it keeps getting better and better. Dare I say just as much, if not a little more, than Joe's??😅😅
This was the best Flagrant Podcast I've seen yet.
His story is insane but what sold me is... he's actually hilarious! lmfao New fan 🤝
His story is mostly fiction from him watching documentaries.
@@2011blueman Lol why so mad bro... I think people would be exposing him quickly if what he is saying was a lie. Sorry he isn't over the top or edgy enough for you.
45min in and he already reveals he has no idea what hes talking about. He was low level operations, that's it.
@@cesarperez10 sounds like something someone would say when this pod is all they’ve seen of him. Go watch his actual podcast called “The connect with Johnny mitchel” and you’ll obviously see that he was way deeper than just “low level operations” or don’t and continue to talk out of your ass like every other KZhead commenter.
His story is the life of many Mexicans living in California but he’s a great story teller & funny af too
This dude has stories for days. Awesome story teller! ✨🕊
😊zzzz-
He had to do the time because if he ratted he'd be dead right now
@@TheAnnoyingBoss You'll believe anything. Do you prefer CNN or MSNBC?
Yeah, dude has a wild imagination.
@@skankytrick how dare you assume i drink that koolaid propaganda
O hell yes! Loved this dudes shorts, glad he’s here!
2 hours in and I must say this is an amazing podcast 👏
Dope pod. This guy has it. Kept my attention the whole pod good luck to this guy imma be watching 🙏🏾🔥🔥
Very good podcast. A lot of good questions combined with good storytelling. Well done
Even though I heard his story in like four different podcast it felt like it was the first time hearing it, plus the different hosts made it interesting with their questions
I'm from Eugene Oregon 😂 Glad you made it out and got your life together.
Amazing Pod, can't believe 3 hours went by so quick, johnny is a great storyteller
Shantaram was the best book I read in jail. Loved the show as well. I love how the book and show both display how a criminal can still be a good man. That’s important to remember in those types of situations.
My favorite book as well!
This is by far the most engaged I’ve ever seen Andrew
Love this guy. Caught some of his shorts and was always wanting him to go on a established podcast so we could get the entire story. Frick yes thank you for this Flagrant crew
Fire episode 🔥🔥 bro’s super articulate, very good story teller kept me hooked the entire time👏 Definitely knows his stuff 🔥🔥
He is the only reason I am watching this episode. He is a FAB storyteller and his channel is great!
Now I’ll literally watch any podcast or clip I see this bloke on. He needs to do some audiobooks
I usually don't go and watch 1:30+hrs podcasts, but weeeeeeeeeeeeeyy!!!!!!!!!!! this one is like a fucking immersive!!!!! NICE ONE GUYS! high respect for all your work!
*Whoever reads this I hope you have a great day!*
You da goat
Thank u. You as well.
You as well. Cheers
You too bruh,
Lol this released 5 minutes ago and we're already in the comments
Another example, why this podcast is one of the best out there! The chemistry in the group of hosts and the interest and fun they have with their guests is just outstanding. Thank you guys for another three hours of pure entertainment...!
Im from colombia and I can tell you alot of the real drug dealers, especially the ones making money are white, many that come from america, British decent , but the system works so that in the end the mugshot of the person ends up being a low level black or latino drug dealer who is just an in experienced beginner, how sad. THEN THE WORLD POINTS AT THEM AS THE WHITE ONES LAUGH AND PROBABLY GO ON TO BECOME PRESIDENT AKA TRUMP
And don’t forget the couch slapping!
Don't forget interrumpting the guest 24/7
48:55 beautiful edit to show how Andrew love how he transitioned back into the conversation lol
those two are like pb&j, great podcast
I did an open mic with this guy in LA a couple years ago. Hard worker and deserves his success. Dudes funny af too.
the drug guy? is he a comidian?
@@ahmedhamm5464 yes. He’s a comedian. Look at his Instagram.
@@ahmedhamm5464 yes
Yea all his drug storys are fake jokes
@@802yotaguy5 WHAT???
Pod of the year so far? This guy vibes really well and is a great combo of funny and interesting
I remember my buddy telling his prison story and everyone was anticipating his every word at the campfire. Makes since why the prison niche is so hot on KZhead.
The way Andrew moved toward an ex-inmate all fast 😂 and homie was like tf?
Found his KZhead channel after he posted his first episode, he’s charismatic and a good storyteller. I’m happy to see him getting this publicity from Schultz that shit is dope he definitely deserves it.
He’s a liar.
Not a liar At most a comedian (they all embellish) Agreed with first post
@@sebastienmartineau4660 definitely a liar
@@modedesigner7534 why?
@@modedesigner7534 he has paperwork showing his cases, he also has paperwork showing he is not a rat. Don’t know what else you need to see he’s not a liar
What a freaking story! This was one of the best podcasts yet. The balance of comedy, education and amazing stories!
No education because nothing this guy says is true
@@okay9517 You obviously haven't lived with any cartel members. You should try it, you'd learn a lot, lol.
@@scubawithatuba yeah I’m totally sure that’s who you associate with talking about “What a FEAKING story” but going being naive and influenced but clearly bullshit stories of cartel members even though this guy is not in any data base at all
Wow! Very entertaining for sure. With the added bonus of Real Stuff!🎉🎉
Best podcast of yours yet
i love how you see the prison defense kick in at 44:40 when Shults gets in his personal area.
Man I ran across Jonny Mitchell’s channel when he had less than 10K subs. Within a couple month the man blew up over a 100K!! He has an incredible story and seems like a legit funny good dude. Glad to seem him seeing success wish him nothing but the best. Schultz get ya boi on Rogan!
1:23:37 "I'm Mexican now" 🤣🤣 this really is one of the best episodes Also the conversation starting at 1:55:20 just dropped my jaw "searching for some sort of identity to latch on because they're miserable"
We're gonna have pay to watch these videos soon lol. Very captivating interview 👏🏿
By far one of the most engaging episodes!
There is no way the Ralph barbosa episode was uploaded right before this one by accident especially after hearing this at 39:52 😂😂😂
Ahhh nice catch lol
Yooooo
Oh shiiiittt !
Woooooohhhhhh was that him!!
I love that andrew reads the ad scripts so well but cant be bothered to take his eyes off of said script
Best episode ever!!! Y’all killed it
Good on you Johnny. Been watching your channel since day 1. Quality storytelling and interesting topics …coming from a Colombian that hates the stereotypes
You know anyone who sells good furniture?
