He said that he will in a few years, but that right now he doesn't want to relive the past. He already relives it through telling his stories in the videos.
This guy got a late start. He has no way in ever retiring. Hes going to have to work the rest of his life and hes struggling now bc of the pain his body is in. Start him another go fund me to help him retire.hell pay 10 yrs rent with it if you get to much and a few thousand on his electric n what not you can prepay that stuffthen he wouldn't have to stress about that. He can go to work and do what his body will allow him and he can live his final years a little bit happy and without stress. He really seems like a good guy..hell i would help him..
Never ever ever take it for granted. I never thought I'd end up in there and I did. My life went from promising to instant misery. And it will never be the same. Trust issues, flashbacks and fear of going back will haunt me for life. ALWAYS think twice before committing any crime please
didn’t even start watching the channel til Danny got on it.. listen to your viewers man , y’all getting paid off Danny.. put a percentage of that in his pockets 🤷🏾♂️
This guy never gives dannys info so people can send him stuff.. like he wants control over him so danny needs him and he can keep getting views. ..he seems so sketchy .
Joe does help danny quite a bit things people dont know about. Danny does work his ass off for a 60yr old he isnt gona be able to work hard labor much longer. Im sure joe will help him figure shit out plus he had like 10g left from the last gofundme.
Now that Danny wants his money and his videos taken down everyone turns on Danny. He did exactly what everyone wanted him to do, ask for money for being on UA-cam.
Hey, darling, whoever you are. I do not know who Danny is or why he is in you tube. I can only say I like YOU a lot because your comment was so sincere. I live a reclusive life because I was hit by a car and broke my leg, 3 years of suffering. Anyway, I pray right now for you, whoever you are, may the Lord Jesus, wrap his loving eings around you.
In all sincerity Joe after the camera is off are you really helping Danny meet ends? Danny’s concerns are rent, job & car, they are valid and I hope you will help him off camera as much as you say you will on camera. Thank you Danny for sharing your story.
He helps danny and youtube doesnt pay as much as you think. You can google the channel it will tell you how much the channel makes. And joe also has the cleaning business. So he makes his money. Lets take it easy on danny.
@@king-emperorbotolfzainisem730 yeah thats not bad but its not the millions people think he makes and joe pays everybody thats on the show plus other stuff. He is doing this as his full time job now (well when he doesnt have to clean when his employees dont show). So he should make money doing it.
Why stop the views and money are rolling in !!! Poor danny. Joe forced this crazy ass job on him 60hrs a week and then shoves his ass in the first apt they saw. Lmao that rent is way to much this convict needed a room not an apt!
I know right, dude people online can freak you out if you dont know your shit and know what people can do and cant do easily. Also people are 400x worse assholes since he went to jail.
Just do a go fund me again. Start over. Find another place and keep things disclosed. He has been doing good. Dont stop now. Back track your mistakes which youve done and do it right!! This time get him some disability!! He has suffered in prison. Suffered from injuries from mopad accidents. Just start again!!!! Dont just give up. Danny is a good person he been through so much my guy!!! Just move forward start again. Cheaper apartment and start disability program please dont give up!!! I love Danny I feel his pain. I wish I could help but its people out here that can!!!
He clearly struggles with PTSD. People should be more considerate. Hugging someone from behind that has PTSD is a BIG no-no. He is in constant "fight or flight mode" and intense anxiety. I'm a forensic mental health therapist who works with men like Danny. He needs that additional support like SSI (Social Security Disability). He could file for physical and mental health disability. He will not be able to be in the workforce for very long in his condition and with his age. I pray Danny sees this comment. Try to file for SSI and do some odd jobs on the side for additional money.
If you have a intense fear of someone harming you from behind and you experienced a trauma (life-threatening) and that behavior started. I would say you have a symptom of PTSD. There are other symptoms and criteria you have to meet in order to be officially diagnosed with PTSD. You don't have to be in the military to experience PTSD i.e. you can live in concentrated urban poverty (living in the hood is like a battlefield) or being a victim of rape or assault. I hope this helps. @Kai Certeza
Danny is way above average intelligence. He listens and he's calculated. The fact that he obsesses about cleanliness increases his job market value (because few 'normal' people behave like that). Any working place that deals with food would love to have such an employee. He’s also mentally stronger than 99.9% of people, so as long as he can keep his physical health in check, I think he’s gonna be fine.
Don’t you think his obsession is because he’s institutionalized? Some of his concerns are truthfully manifested because he is like Rip Van Winkle and has been asleep for 40 yrs.
COOKING IS WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO!!! Danny, go find a restaurant gig buddy. Do what you love! Learn Puerto Rican cuisine and open up your own food truck!! Yeah man!!!
That's a physical job, they guy has a shoulder & back problem. He needs a non- physical type of employment...driving, light delivery jobs, odd jobs, part time...
You ever work in a restaurant or a food truck? Its no cakewalk. You need to have a lot of business savvy, and this guy has been out of touch for 40 years. How can you expect him to pull it off. Its also way more physically demanding than people think. Not saying he couldn't handle it physically, but its something to consider (sure as hell beats roofing though).
Joe has literally done so much for Danny He went above and beyond And many people in the comments are still acting like Joe hasn’t done enough He’s doing his best.
I think we'll all be in agreement that we're happy if this helps Danny, but my intuition is probably the same as many others, that Danny's being exploited a bit now. They clearly are loving the attention Danny has brought the channel.
y’all think shits sweet out here, he gonna go and apply they gonna check his background and he’s not gonna get a call back. when you have a background like his or no education you do the labor jobs and hard work that other people won’t do.
@@synrefluid5670 think outside the box bro legal hustles are everywhere I sell shirts put a couple words on a shirt they'll sell put good on a shirt it will sell put I love trump on a shirt it will sell
I think he would do very well with youth as well! I am 50 and hurt from head to toe lol! I can't imagine at the age of 60 starting over at an extreme physical labor job! I bet it would help him as well to break out of his shell and learn how to live again and to socialize!
To be honest, I think Danny was just a little freaked out. I doubt he was ever seriously angry, but that he was upset that his privacy was in jeopardy. Don't blame anyone but the asshats who are following Danny around. He didn't invite you to his house. He didn't make the videos to get famous. Let the guy live in peace.
Richard crude isn’t the whole point of this that he’s trying to not be a criminal anymore? Unless you have evidence he’s been robbing people get the fuck out of here.
Good to see Danny boy again. More Danny episodes. If you never served hard time; You will never never understand. If you don't suffer anxiety; you will never know. This guy is making it. He's doing good. Keep it up Danny. You made it this far buddy
I agree he's doing everything right..Keep it up Danny and remember your gonna have your struggles but we all do I promise you...You have a lot of support if need be just reach out
I wonder if at age 60 I could start over publicly....what we are witnessing is strength. He has a good guide. When you’ve had to live on the knifes edge for 40 years, a warm bed and clean apartment feels like a deception. It feels unreal. Danny is experiencing the uncertain feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. The host is knowledgeable, and positive. Keep up the struggle D. In a year this will all seem like light weight.
Yeah he reminds me of one those arena preacher dudes... It's irritating because he's not talking to Danny, he's performing for an audience with danny in the frame. Just talk to your subject
"I go to these thrift stores get these sales like this stereo only 12.50 and it plays beautifully its cassette 8-track" Gotta love this guy! Pure gold!
@@ContentCalvin I will tell you this he's lucky he's not from my country because if you murder someone not self defense and found guilty you automatically get the hanging death penalty. No prison time. For stealing you get your fingers chop off of the hand you use the most. A public fight is serious prison time any assault on someone. Here's the kicker if you piss, spit or those kind of more simple crimes you get a bullwhipping and depending on the severity of those small crimes your lashes can start from min. Of 3 lashes or more. And don't know if you familiar with a bullwhip but it's like what the slaves got whipped with leaves marks.
@pullupseattle our prision system is so crooked and corrupt. We dont need prisons. No where in the bible is there prisons. It takes immediate action. Not lovk people up for multiple life sentences or things like that. Our prision ststem is not what makes America a good place.
I kinda saw the privacy thing coming when the building was filmed, someone's definitely gonna recognize that bright yellow building and it was shown which apartment going up the stairs. I'm sure no one wants to do anything malicious, but man I wouldn't like all that attention. I like to keep quiet and to myself and understand where Danny is coming from.
I thought the same thing when the building was being recorded l. Hell I live in Florida but I was born in rised in Virginia an I recognize that bright yellow building. I can see why Danny is upset about the people knocking on his door that's crazy an scary. But I don't think he should be to tight with Joe because he did everything with a good heart and the apartment thing Danny found the place. I do feel like the price of rent should have been looked at better dough.
He should have known better to film the building, hes actually very selfish it's not like he came out of pocket for anything he just started a GoFundMe.
I hope Danny can get his privacy. The world can be a cruel place, even for the well intentioned ones. People want him to be a youtube star, pleasing the mass, but I think it's not a wise thing to do. People want him out in public, but they are not necessarily know what's best for Danny.
Just a repeat of what I posted on the other site. ’s seems like Danny has PTSD. Who can blame him after all he’s been through. If he’s not already, he might benefit by seeing a therapist. I can’t believe people actually showed up at his apartment. That’s just creepy and wrong. Joe, clearly your heart and intentions were good. I kind of teared up because I don’t think his anger was justified. However, I understand how stress can take a toll. He’s worried about paying his bills. Anyway, I think it’s wonderful that you are still so supportive and are going to be there for him. He seems quite lonely too. My heart goes out to him. As for you, keep putting positive energy out there. You’re a good guy and an inspiration .
I think you meant PTSD ? A common veteran disability after combat, but also seen by people who deal with or are exposed to things so traumatic, that they cant get past it. Most likely caused by the years of solitary, and the way the extraction team fucked him up.
I've said the same thing about seeing a therapist. I know it helped me a lot. I worked on stuff that I never knew I was holding on to. And damn! Why would "fans" show up at his place? That's just stupid!
I'm a bit disappointed to see this many negative comments concerning Danny. The man is clearly very grateful for everything Joe has done for him, and even the people online encouraging him and pitching into the gofundme to get him what he needed. I work in corrections, and Danny has shown some true rehabilitation to some extent, and was able to do a lot of that on his own. I don't think that he was ever really mad at Joe. I think the stress of normal life was just getting to him and people naturally want somebody or something to blame. The fact that he took a step back to rethink his feelings towards the situation actually speaks volumes. And to anybody who may be tempted to follow Danny or approach him in public... just let the man be. Let him get adjusted to life on the outside before bombarding him. I'm sure that as time goes on, it will become more and more apparent when he will be ready to come more out of his shell. It's too soon. I wish him nothing but the best. Joe, you have nothing to be ashamed of. We all make some mistakes (like showing the apartment building on video), but I know you will learn from it and not let it happen again. I may be making a video and addressing it to you very soon. There is one thing I really believe you could do to help a lot of people, mainly youngsters who are thinking about going down a certain path. I am a Juvenile Detention Officer, and I think you could truly help kids like the ones I work with rethink their lifestyle choices. I hope you get to see my video. I will likely post it this weekend, October 14th, or the 15th at the latest. Take care!
Most people don't understand. He's not mad, he's scared shitless. Most people would be scared if they were kept away for forty years straight and then released into this weird ass-backwards world.
Well said and so true. The man left a world 40 yrs ago to come back to a whole new way of doing things. It must be a hell to try and adjust i can just imagine and listen to what he says.
His fear is palpable! It is going to take serious time to readjust! People have no idea what it's like to live in prison. I can only imagine from television, and hope to never find out! But after 40 years, it has to be like coming from another planet, I'm sure! No one trusts anyone while inside! They have to watch their backs nonstop! He's probably not even accustom to not having to answer to someone else! He has come from such a strict, structured environment to the real world. I can imagine he is really messed up and just needs time and patience! He also needs a job that's not so trying on a 60 year old body! I think he would do amazing doing motivational speaking to youth in crisis! I think it could help him as much as them!
I just found this channel today when I watched the first video on Danny. I ended up watching all of them. At moments I had tears pouring down my face. It’s great to see every aspect of these videos. Thank you for your dedication to helping people Joe.
Zoozooshi Crazy, leave the guy alone!!! His remorseful of his past, allow him to heal and move on at his own pace. Who do you think you are sitting behind a computer and psycho analysing someone's pain, would you like to do 40 years in a 6th level security and tell me you won't come out having extra sensitivity to ppls motives. He is on a journey to healing and breaking down false belief system, and trying to understand life outside the prison walls, you sound foolish!!! leave him alone and while your at it, you better check your own heart because anyone who thinks they are holier than than the next person is an absolute hypocrite.
Joe got Danny started, apartment, job, transportation but now it's up to Danny to take the next steps, better job, cheaper apartment, better transportation. I hope he succeeds.
@@vintagejeansandthings1359 he has a point though it's difficult to even find him work so he could have a chance to start. How would he improve his life himself without knowing the world
He knows plenty, the world hasn't changed as much as you think. Danny is a smart guy and just needs time to reacquaint himself with life outside of prison. Also he has friends now who are willing to help. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will his life be, it's going to take time, effort and the desire to succeed.
@Gossip Heart You must not know what church is LOL! I go to church 2 times a week and its not at all in the slightest anything you described church being. Church is a place for worship. I don't know where you got the idea that thats what church was but its definitely not right. Also my family is middle class, we don't have much money to show off and same thing for most people who go to church.
Thanks for this clarification video everyone asked for Joe... you are an awesome guy.... everything happens for a reason, lessons are learned and life goes on.. have a blessed day....🌹🌹🌹
Are people really this stupid HES MURDER TWO PEOPLE. Yes he should get a second I mean 3rd chance but don't complain when someone helping him isn't paying him enough where the hell else would he get that help
@@justinmopavich3685 the replies go according to the video...if u follow Joe and Danny, u will see how peoples replies have changed. Joe is fair and has given Danny his fair share. And as far as Danny, don't judge....no one is perfect, and we all deserve a fair chance.
Why are so many of the comments on here blaming either Danny or Joe? This whole video was about talking things out and realizing mistakes in order to improve themselves. These guys both showed the best civility there is having this peaceful conversation. Congratulations to both Danny and Joe for handling such hard subject matter so well.
Danny is such a cool dude. You can tell he really doesn’t want to hurt joes feelings but I totally agree with him. The man deserves his space. Especially after everything he’s been through.
So help Danny find a cheaper place. Get Danny to start getting his License. Then a small car. Try get Danny to start his own Business. Start maybe another go fund me for rent for a whole year. No pressure to pay rent=SAVING. That way he can save. Start a long term rainy day savings fund fro when he needs to retire. Help Danny make friends-A church maybe is a good place to start. Get Danny to start seeing a therapist.
Brenda Taylor well... he is probably in a decent neighborhood.... a cheaper apartment might put him in a not so nice area.. and he may be put in a position to go back to prison...(fights.. mugging...etc)
You're doing good work, Joe. Sure you'll make mistakes along the way. As long as you have good intent, learn from your mistakes, and keep trying to help people, you're good. Danny is a good man for telling you the truth about how he feels - he did you a favor and you have a chance to learn from this lesson.
Thanks for the update on Danny. And thanks for sharing the details of your story Danny. Good to hear from you again. Good luck with all of your endeavors.
I feel for Danny deeply as someone in recovery for ptsd and social anxiety...also dealing with chronic pain that keeps me from working... Danny is a solid cat...y'all are solid as hell. You guys always do your best and you do amazing amazing work with APS. We are all human...we all have the hindsight 20/20 deal... Keep doing the good fellas...your work is very very important and anything worthwhile that you spend alot of time and energy on is bound to have some speedbumps. You guys do a hell of a job and Danny is a fascinating person. I hope that it all works out for him...your collective intention of positivity and goodwill...and your openness to talking about this all and recognizing potential mistakes will make that so I have no doubt. I'm Damn proud to be with the APS army.
Danny needs a Soical Worker that can help him get affordable senior housing. 55 and older would be the nicest and safest place to live out the rest of his life from the financial stress he's under now at 60...Tax credit housing is another option, or a section 8 voucher...section 8 is a closed program in most every state but every few years they open up the list and you can apply. Danny's income would be looked at in all 3 of these housing programs mentioned. Then based on his low-income they would calculate his portion of the rent. Danny would have his very own place just like what he has now...maybe better. I was in jail when I was pregnant. I got stable housing when I got out but it took 3 years. My rent portion is $168. Plus water, electricity, bills, household items, gas, phone, food, ect~It's still a struggle because I'm on my own. I know how these resources work like the back of my hand. I went to college after my son was born and helped many people get housing when working with a division of the "Department Of State/Social Health Services" called "WorkSource" May be called something different in Danny's state. This is so frustrating to watch because although what Danny has now is great and will hold him over for a time...it won't last because of his age. There needs to be a game plan for Danny's future. Unless Joe will supplement his lack of income for the rest of Danny's life and Danny's pulling back so that's not a reliable option. He needs to apply for disability so he can get trama counseling, medical, and income, plus he can still work alittle but the pressure would be off so he can focus on his mental health. These are unavoidable things that need to be started now because of Danny's age. Or he won't make it! I'll be sending an email to Joe. These resources will help the After Prision program assist older men Danny's age better. With all this said I don't think Danny will reoffend by way of hurting anyone. I just think he may lose hope and fail because of not having LONG TERM STABILITY! It's a must and he desirves it! I support you Danny♡
@@sufficientgrace9921 Danny would do great communicating...and having a speaking job. It would help his self esteem greatly. Plus he needs to know love in the last year's of his life. He desirves to feel that from people. There are so many people in this country, and world that can help Danny but his story must go viral... and Danny has the ability to tell it. That's what makes it so special. Please everyone share all the Danny vidios! p.s. They need to be numbered and in order😊 It's all love❤
@@sufficientgrace9921 Absolutely! With our support...Lets all back Danny. Bring his story to as many as possible...all over the country through social media and the tools it provides us to do so.... We all can help save Danny. His gift is the authentic and captivating way he expresses himself. Danny is capable of attracting and holding interest with an audience. #lovefordanny
@@donpepe3464 That's not true in all cases! Many men, women, mothers with children, and elderly poeple with felonies have section 8 vouchers to find housing. I work with these programs and know this for a fact! It depends on the situation. That's why people with criminal background situations need case management to get through these obsticals. One man I helped went through a VA program. Danny is a veteran. He can get help through the VA to get housing. I could walk Joe exactly how to do it.
Im glad you did these videos Danny....we needed to know what people go through during prison and after and how hard a time a person can go through without support, by being judged, without being helped, when nobody listens...im sorry you felt bad about this, its understandable though and can respect it...but am still thankful that you shared apart of your life xxx
I think you are more in touch with your viewers than with helping Danny. Danny's case is a marathon. Slow and easy and steady. You seem to be sprinting g through this whole ordeal.
I'm not surprised that Danny was angry about the situation - for 40 years he's had people telling him what he could and couldn't do and was unable to make his own decisions. Then he gets out to an entirely new world with very little social support and again, isn't able to make a ton of decisions for himself due to circumstances. Then along comes Joe and APS and his entire life changed - and he *still* wasn't in charge of making his own decisions. I'm sure he mentioned the issues to Joe such as the cost of his apartment, but when you're in a position of being disenfranchised for so long, not being listened to is SOP. Yes, he found the apartment, but I'm sure it wasn't the only one on his list and there could have been others that were a better fit that would have accepted him. Joe did everything out of good intentions but doing what he thought was 'best', for Danny and for the show, might have been better thought out a bit more. Incidentally, did anyone notice he's still talking over Danny, when Danny has an idea? At the end of the video when Danny is attempting to tell Joe about a video *he* feels comfortable making, Joe cuts him off and says "I know - a reaction video!' or something to that effect. Joe, if you're truly wanting to be a good friend to someone (whether it be Danny or anyone else), you must let them retain power over their own words. Stop, apologize for rushing past them, and truly listen to what they have to say.
Missy Pratt you couldn't have said it more perfectly! I honestly love APS with Joe Cody and Dave but i have trouble sometimes with Joe's attitude he at times seems sincere but seems controlling over content, what's said and talking over people and not really listening which you mentioned , I understand it's his UA-cam channel but it makes me kinda sad at the same time , There really needs to be more communication with those he helps and ask what they would really like to do I stead of controlling the whole situation and persons decisions...jIust my take on it .....i really wish Danny the best...and as with the APS Team...
Wow both agree. Look how seems very controling. Just comes off cocky and I stoped watching but saw this bout Danny. Anyway. Joe rubs me the wrong way. He seems more into his show then the people. Him helping people makes him alot of money on this show
I don’t think joe is a bad dude or has bad intentions.....my old man was the same way and I’m probably the same way too....would give u the shirt off ur back if u needed it.... but during conversations my old man would talk over people or finish their sentence for them.....it’s not because joe thinks he’s better then Danny or looks down at him or anything like that, it’s just how he communicates...it’s not the best thing in the world but it’s definitely something he needs to work on
It would have been more logical to have bought him a small trailer and put on a lot.Danny is older and he will not be able to keep paying such high rent living alone.On the flip side it was nice that u guys helped him but in the future better to think small travel trailers and put on a lot in my opinion.Danny is 100% correct.It's really hard for older people to work and deal esp. if they live alone.
I want to thank Danny for sharing everything. I really appreciate that much. How he was explaining through the middle of this video was so good and on point. I hope people don't approach you Danny and upset you hopefully you'll have you know a peaceful life without being paranoid of somebody's coming up behind you because they recognize you from these videos. But again I really appreciate you sharing your stories with everybody that's watching because it is helpful in so many ways. I am all about education and learning from other people's history
Some may not understand this video, and there's nothing wrong with that but please don't confuse it with him being ungrateful in anyway. That's not at all what he's saying. Some of the comments here completely show that misunderstanding. I'd say less than 1% of us have a clue of what it's like to do that much time. Danny is a great guy and has an amazing story. Love the channel Joe, always have. Love the Danny updates as well. Hope nothing but the best for you guys, and Danny is definitely in my prayers.
I was thinking the same, but when i saw this entire video, i think he doesn't want that, he wants to have time to build up his life first i think, get a social life, learning how to live his life. I Wished he would want to start a youtube career too, but you gotta be the type of person for it too.
Joe, Danny needs more direction and support. About his socializing Danny should start with help groups, lots of people going through different issues and looking other people to validate there pressures. Good place to meet people
I used to volunteer at an inner city shelter/drop-in/social-work place that also was located in an old church & had regular services for 'clients'.....such places for worship would welcome Danny & he would feel at home & have lots of support & potential friends in such a community. (and social workers, etc. are always available & eager to help)
This message is for Danny... write a book, It'd be a bestseller. Danny, you are very articulate, you express yourself well and you keep it interesting.... go for it! Prison Stories, Prison Memoirs, etc...
I'm worried for Danny. Please help set him up with counseling as soon as possible. You can't just throw someone into the deep end and expect them not to drown. Danny, you are strong and positive and there is no shame in getting help. Life can and will be good again. Starting over is not easy no matter who you are.
Jennifer....Danny stated he is seeing a doctor regarding his anxiety at this time. ....and though it is not always easy to get,, there are places that provide a degree of counseling for free or will take what can be given. Not all counselors are taking money...social service agencies, NGO's, churches, etc. all provide some counseling when you search it out. Just takes some effort to find, sometimes. There are some good doctors who know how to find help for people who can't afford much. (really....I worked with counselors who gave freely of their time to those in need, when I did social work in an inner-city resource center/drop-in...not everyone is in it for money.)
Solution: 1. Leave this apartment after the lease and go to a cheaper apartment. 2. Find an easier job. 3. Get counceling and go to the doctor to help with his anxiety.
I would not call anyone an idiot or a sheltered moron who tries to at least think of what someone else needs. #1 is a good idea, #2 is a possibility, and actually #3 already happened....Danny said he is seeing a doctor regarding his anxiety at this time. I respect anyone who at least is concerned enough to think of what someone in difficulties might need, even if their solutions are not perfect ones. Care & compassion are never out of place. Let's ease up here. I think everyone wants the best for Danny, & that's a good start. Caring.
No disrespect to anyone I'm just going to say this if you ever do anything out of the kindness of your heart just do it no cameras no social media posts. I feel like Danny was a project to get this channel more views. I think Danny should make his own channel called it "Life After Danny" or The Life and Times of Danny". Stay bless.
Don't these people who post the videos get paid per sub correct?if they do of course they r gonna put content that people enjoy watching ,that way they further there channel and the bank account
@@louiejordan7625 no they get paid per ad views from everyone who isn't subscribed to YT red (and who doesn't block ads for example). Anyone who has youtube red. They get a % based on the portion of time the subscriber watched a video that was from their channel compared to how much he watched other channels content. So for example, if I have a YT premium subscription I watch 1 hour during the month of APS, and 1h of another channel, then each get 2.75 from my subscription. Subscribers are not monetized they just show status and help people see your content updates slightly more depending if they hit that bell.
yep .. actually danny deserves to get part of the profit from the channel ... i do believe "afterprissonshow" intentions are honoust .. but ..playing this reality show thing should just lead to money and respect for danny ..and people like danny .. than it should stop ..and let danny s live their life ..
I know someone mentioned this in an earlier video of Danny and Joe cooking, but can we PLEASE set up an Amazon wishlist account for Danny. I’d love to get him something especially because Christmas is coming up
Hey Danny, I've been following your journey since your release. I would like to encourage you to look into re-selling as a side hustle until you can transition to full time. I saw you mention that you pick up stuff at thrift stores so you are halfway there man. There are a lot of good videos and re-sellers that can show you how to get started. I myself am willing to teach you. God Bless You Danny.
Hes 59, but for me it seems like hes some cool dude in his 30's!! Man.. what being behind concrete blocks getting no sun damage over all these years can do make you look younger. He was like frozen in time!! I just wish him all the best, hope he will have a nice life.
@@Our_feral_life he put some body in the dirt for his own personal reasons just like anyone else everybody got they own reasoning behind everything they do in this but also remember every action has a reaction just be ready when they come
Joe and Danny as I'm watching this vid what stands out the most is just how blown away i am that one of the strongest examples of effective conflict resolution I've ever witnessed is coming from two ex-prisoners. There is so much value in what y'all are doin here, you have powerful stories and strong lessons and ur reaching ppl on levels you probably don't even realize. Thank you for what you do here APS, and thank you for doing it with so much heart.
Nothing got worked out, Danny still has an apartment he can't afford, his privacy is still ruined, his job is still to physically demanding. he did get to vent alittle
@@jasonu3741 you wrote your reply 2 months ago & now look at Danny. Working & lovng it, getting off intense probation, reconciled with his family & saw them for Christmas, got a truck, engaged & working on some great business offers thst came out of this.
Im not a religious guy, far from actually, and i never thougt i should say this, but what about church for Danny, its a good way to get in to a social circle with some decent people.... just a thougt
Jack Jameson you'd be surprised how many so called "religious" people struggle with that. A lot just stick around for the social aspect and the general guidance.
@Jack Jameson 1 Timothy 3:16 King James Version (KJV) 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Danny, I just want to say thank you. You showed me that I’m not the only one who feels these fears. You are an inspiration to us all. Just keep on going, you have already beat all the odds. Thank you for showing us your story it’s helped so many people. Stay up brother.
Joe is always loud and it comes from his own time in prison. People come out differently and many come out loud because otherwise they can't be heard. :-)
Danny deserves all the profits off his videos! He is the reason I found this channel and I was hooked. I think your show is great Joe. But Danny does deserve this. I pray he is ok.
Don't be so hard on yourself Joe...you were just trying to help. Danny probably needs to have some counseling, but that cost $ so Idk about that. Tough situation
Unfortunately, it is one of the biggest hurdles he will face...and he mentioned it. Will be so tough to get decent work he is physically capable of doing for long. Heck, most people are looking at retirement at his age & yet he has to prepare for his future at 60! That is one tough break......I admire his courage in trying so hard.
not mad, stressed. he is stressed BECAUSE he's grateful. his job is seasonal, and the home he's got is taking too much of his pay check to save anything up. he is going to have to scramble like crazy to find another job in the winter that pays enough to cover the bills, with no extra money to fill in the gap if he's NOT hired right away. it's not like he's a young adult starting off, he does not have mom+dad to go back to if he can't make ends meet... he will end up homeless again, and lose everything he's been working for.
It's a whole new life... Something as simple as driving in traffic is stressful, but imagine that you haven't done it in 40 years and now you're on a moped. He's just getting used to life on the outside. He's got a lot of growing to do though.
Thank u Danny for doing this. People do need a second chance . Peers do need to see this. U survived a bad government . u one good dude thank u.Keep up the good work .
Danny is one of the few out there. That know how to survive solitary will eat people alive. He went in when I was born and he came out when I turned 41 damn that's all my life. U made it bro stay alive that's all this world is cruel.
Thatone Guy Don’t forget that Danny was in jail for 40 years, his graphic tattoos, like it’s very hard to find a job because of that. He’s got murder on his record like it’s not easy to find a job with first degree murder MORE THAN ONCE on his record. Think about that
He's a born MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER!! Inner City Kids need to be exposed to this wizdom. And the law-makers must be advised by such!! Danny for president!!
Danny your story is a blessing & hope for all of us with family incarcerated like myself. Danny you have such a humbling soul you're blessed. Nobody can stop what God has for you. I've been watching all your video's Danny ALL DAY . I took a nap now I'm back. I just can't wait until my father is release after 25 years & I haven't physically sense him in 32 years. Thank God for your story. Thanks Joe & the rest of the crew for y'all help to Danny. Keep Danny VIDEO'S COMING.
Danny , please understand, you’re an amazing person with a fascinating stories , and people are anxious to meet you and help Joe help you. I might drive to Virginia my damn self to meet you , at the local Walmart. Newport News ? I think Joe didn’t expect his viewers to love Danny so much !! It probably never happened before !
I don't understand why they didn't leave the gofundme account up longer, I just began seeing these videos last week. If he would of held on for atleast a week it would have went over 10k
Danny needs to learn one thing that might help his social life: 'do the things you are afraid of but none of the things that hurt you'. If he can trust himself to stay calm and maybe ask you guys to hang out with him and maybe introduce him to some fans (?).
I feel Danny should write a book...... Who agrees
I agree.
Yesss
He said that he will in a few years, but that right now he doesn't want to relive the past. He already relives it through telling his stories in the videos.
I agree
This guy got a late start. He has no way in ever retiring. Hes going to have to work the rest of his life and hes struggling now bc of the pain his body is in. Start him another go fund me to help him retire.hell pay 10 yrs rent with it if you get to much and a few thousand on his electric n what not you can prepay that stuffthen he wouldn't have to stress about that. He can go to work and do what his body will allow him and he can live his final years a little bit happy and without stress. He really seems like a good guy..hell i would help him..
Danny's story helped me appreciate how good I really have it...
Me too brother i honestly like with the love of God love Danny and wish i could be his friend on a personal level.
I felt the same way too about his stories . keep up the good work u do danny . i know u can do it .
Alexander the conqueror
Me too
Never ever ever take it for granted. I never thought I'd end up in there and I did. My life went from promising to instant misery. And it will never be the same. Trust issues, flashbacks and fear of going back will haunt me for life. ALWAYS think twice before committing any crime please
didn’t even start watching the channel til Danny got on it.. listen to your viewers man , y’all getting paid off Danny.. put a percentage of that in his pockets 🤷🏾♂️
He has, he didn't have to help danny nearly as much as he did, and he still is, UA-cam doesn't pay as well as everyone thinks aswell
This guy never gives dannys info so people can send him stuff.. like he wants control over him so danny needs him and he can keep getting views. ..he seems so sketchy .
@@mintpepper1940 welcome to business Joe has a job too
Joe does help danny quite a bit things people dont know about. Danny does work his ass off for a 60yr old he isnt gona be able to work hard labor much longer. Im sure joe will help him figure shit out plus he had like 10g left from the last gofundme.
Now that Danny wants his money and his videos taken down everyone turns on Danny. He did exactly what everyone wanted him to do, ask for money for being on UA-cam.
LETS FACE IT DANNY HAS A FAN CLUB , WE WANT TO SEE HIM BEAT THE ODDS CONSIDERING ALL HES BEEN THROUGH . . .
Pay him I only watch this for him anyways
Fact
On what tho! Lmfao! Same here tbh ! This niggaz to cheap tho cuz hes so THIRSTY off making money off other people's stories tbh!
Hey, darling, whoever you are. I do not know who Danny is or why he is in you tube. I can only say I like YOU a lot because your comment was so sincere. I live a reclusive life because I was hit by a car and broke my leg, 3 years of suffering. Anyway, I pray right now for you, whoever you are, may the Lord Jesus, wrap his loving eings around you.
@@lk4429 u talking to me hun?
@@DoPeClipzzz justin are the host? Then yes I am talking to you, from a sister in Christ.
In all sincerity Joe after the camera is off are you really helping Danny meet ends? Danny’s concerns are rent, job & car, they are valid and I hope you will help him off camera as much as you say you will on camera. Thank you Danny for sharing your story.
Hey guys! Just help Danny get a new job that isn’t so physically demanding for his age. Love Danny and his story! God bless Danny ❤️
give danny the coin you owe him, truthfully he's the reason i watch your channel
He helps danny and youtube doesnt pay as much as you think. You can google the channel it will tell you how much the channel makes. And joe also has the cleaning business. So he makes his money. Lets take it easy on danny.
dude they raised danny over 17000 dollars on go fund me
@@michaelmorgan6674 initially yes but somebody took back 5000.00 watch the videos and you would know that.
@@dvlexotics2177 it says this show makes 360$ a day
130k a year
Thats good money imo
@@king-emperorbotolfzainisem730 yeah thats not bad but its not the millions people think he makes and joe pays everybody thats on the show plus other stuff. He is doing this as his full time job now (well when he doesnt have to clean when his employees dont show). So he should make money doing it.
Danny needs to start his own UA-cam channel. He can review movies & music for decades.
BEST COMMENT, SHORT STRAIGHT AND 100%CORRECT (I MEAN CLEVER) SORRY 4 MY ENGLISH, CIAO
@popo Naa Joe would never do that because he will not earning money from him then. :(
Man that's a good idea.
he doesnt have time for that
Id watch evry vid an like
To the grown man hiding behind the bushes ... C'mon man ... leave this man alone ... he's already in shock of how this society is now in 2018
Mπ. $€£F De§t®ü©T 😂😂😂 I can see Danny running up on him and stabbing his ass for ducking behind the bushes 🔪
He comes to visit Danny after 4 weeks. What's wrong with that?
Why stop the views and money are rolling in !!! Poor danny. Joe forced this crazy ass job on him 60hrs a week and then shoves his ass in the first apt they saw. Lmao that rent is way to much this convict needed a room not an apt!
Any adult acting like that deserves to get chin checked
I know right, dude people online can freak you out if you dont know your shit and know what people can do and cant do easily. Also people are 400x worse assholes since he went to jail.
Danny is one of the wisest men I have seen. This dude is gonna make it.
@Lotus Water really ?!!!
Lotus Water wait what happened
Just do a go fund me again. Start over. Find another place and keep things disclosed. He has been doing good. Dont stop now. Back track your mistakes which youve done and do it right!! This time get him some disability!! He has suffered in prison. Suffered from injuries from mopad accidents. Just start again!!!! Dont just give up. Danny is a good person he been through so much my guy!!! Just move forward start again. Cheaper apartment and start disability program please dont give up!!! I love Danny I feel his pain. I wish I could help but its people out here that can!!!
He clearly struggles with PTSD. People should be more considerate. Hugging someone from behind that has PTSD is a BIG no-no. He is in constant "fight or flight mode" and intense anxiety. I'm a forensic mental health therapist who works with men like Danny. He needs that additional support like SSI (Social Security Disability). He could file for physical and mental health disability. He will not be able to be in the workforce for very long in his condition and with his age. I pray Danny sees this comment. Try to file for SSI and do some odd jobs on the side for additional money.
Amen. 100% agree with you
GREAT IDEA!!!
If you have a intense fear of someone harming you from behind and you experienced a trauma (life-threatening) and that behavior started. I would say you have a symptom of PTSD. There are other symptoms and criteria you have to meet in order to be officially diagnosed with PTSD. You don't have to be in the military to experience PTSD i.e. you can live in concentrated urban poverty (living in the hood is like a battlefield) or being a victim of rape or assault. I hope this helps. @Kai Certeza
You are so right mister.
It is to much stress for now.
I really hope he is doing good.
agree
Danny is way above average intelligence. He listens and he's calculated. The fact that he obsesses about cleanliness increases his job market value (because few 'normal' people behave like that). Any working place that deals with food would love to have such an employee. He’s also mentally stronger than 99.9% of people, so as long as he can keep his physical health in check, I think he’s gonna be fine.
TechStacker agreed 100,000%
Don’t you think his obsession is because he’s institutionalized? Some of his concerns are truthfully manifested because he is like Rip Van Winkle and has been asleep for 40 yrs.
He’s to old bro that’s heavy hours and heavy work
Yes, that’s the first thing I noticed, he’s so level-headed, man, god bless em, he’s so damn down to earth 🙏🏼🙏🏼
"Above average intelligence"😬
COOKING IS WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO!!! Danny, go find a restaurant gig buddy. Do what you love! Learn Puerto Rican cuisine and open up your own food truck!! Yeah man!!!
Jonathan Arnold that's a great idea
Agree
That's a physical job, they guy has a shoulder & back problem. He needs a non- physical type of employment...driving, light delivery jobs, odd jobs, part time...
Yes..correct..i think u are a good cook
.go find an experienced!!!gogogo danny..there is no old..its just a number...okayyy
You ever work in a restaurant or a food truck? Its no cakewalk. You need to have a lot of business savvy, and this guy has been out of touch for 40 years. How can you expect him to pull it off. Its also way more physically demanding than people think. Not saying he couldn't handle it physically, but its something to consider (sure as hell beats roofing though).
Joe has literally done so much for Danny
He went above and beyond
And many people in the comments are still acting like Joe hasn’t done enough
He’s doing his best.
Bianca Trujillo STFU
Andrew Grace Lmao, someone’s triggered
Joe makes A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS for his videos WITH DANNY ALONE.
I think we'll all be in agreement that we're happy if this helps Danny, but my intuition is probably the same as many others, that Danny's being exploited a bit now.
They clearly are loving the attention Danny has brought the channel.
Danny's a smart guy. He expresses himself very well. I believe he could find work as a youth counselor and give up the back breaking construction job.
he should definitely be a counselor
y’all think shits sweet out here, he gonna go and apply they gonna check his background and he’s not gonna get a call back. when you have a background like his or no education you do the labor jobs and hard work that other people won’t do.
@@synrefluid5670 think outside the box bro legal hustles are everywhere I sell shirts put a couple words on a shirt they'll sell put good on a shirt it will sell put I love trump on a shirt it will sell
Syn Refluid ya it definitely depends
I think he would do very well with youth as well! I am 50 and hurt from head to toe lol! I can't imagine at the age of 60 starting over at an extreme physical labor job! I bet it would help him as well to break out of his shell and learn how to live again and to socialize!
I hope this guy is paying you Danny you deserve it mate. From Australia
To be honest, I think Danny was just a little freaked out. I doubt he was ever seriously angry, but that he was upset that his privacy was in jeopardy. Don't blame anyone but the asshats who are following Danny around. He didn't invite you to his house. He didn't make the videos to get famous. Let the guy live in peace.
Richard crude where’d you get that assumption?
Richard crude isn’t the whole point of this that he’s trying to not be a criminal anymore? Unless you have evidence he’s been robbing people get the fuck out of here.
Richard crude and show us your outstanding resume and wonderful accomplishments in life. I'm sure we'd be proud.
@Richard crude
Whoa, that's a little unnecessary don't you think?
You missed the point lame...i am sure you're a perfect human...
He's talking to Danny as if he's like across the room. Bro use your inside voice
Right! I'm trying to watch this at work man
Lmao inside voice
😂😂😂
he .might not have one. We used to say that about a guy we worked with "he's got no inside voice"
He's so condescending. He's talking AT DANNY,not TO DANNY. ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS THE VIEWS.
This is a real Dude. Respect.
Good to see Danny boy again. More Danny episodes. If you never served hard time; You will never never understand. If you don't suffer anxiety; you will never know. This guy is making it. He's doing good. Keep it up Danny. You made it this far buddy
I agree he's doing everything right..Keep it up Danny and remember your gonna have your struggles but we all do I promise you...You have a lot of support if need be just reach out
I wonder if at age 60 I could start over publicly....what we are witnessing is strength. He has a good guide. When you’ve had to live on the knifes edge for 40 years, a warm bed and clean apartment feels like a deception. It feels unreal. Danny is experiencing the uncertain feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. The host is knowledgeable, and positive. Keep up the struggle D. In a year this will all seem like light weight.
very smart
Omari West I totally agree with you
Omari West- perfectly put.
Yessir. Starting after 5 years was insanely hard. Fealt like deception as you said. After 40 years? I cant even imagine.
why is he so loud? his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Danny has a much more soothing voice.
Gamer XMON true but he is a big dude
Agree. Red shirt homy needs to relax
This is true. 😂
Yeah he reminds me of one those arena preacher dudes... It's irritating because he's not talking to Danny, he's performing for an audience with danny in the frame. Just talk to your subject
Typical dude bro voice
"I go to these thrift stores get these sales like this stereo only 12.50 and it plays beautifully its cassette 8-track" Gotta love this guy! Pure gold!
Cassette do they make those still. He is way behind. Someone tell him he needs CDs
@@qweshun1223 they have mp3 in prison , even tablets in some facilities. Bless his heart
@@ContentCalvin I will tell you this he's lucky he's not from my country because if you murder someone not self defense and found guilty you automatically get the hanging death penalty. No prison time. For stealing you get your fingers chop off of the hand you use the most. A public fight is serious prison time any assault on someone. Here's the kicker if you piss, spit or those kind of more simple crimes you get a bullwhipping and depending on the severity of those small crimes your lashes can start from min. Of 3 lashes or more. And don't know if you familiar with a bullwhip but it's like what the slaves got whipped with leaves marks.
@pullupseattle lmao USA is nowhere near the best country in the world bruh
@pullupseattle our prision system is so crooked and corrupt. We dont need prisons. No where in the bible is there prisons. It takes immediate action. Not lovk people up for multiple life sentences or things like that. Our prision ststem is not what makes America a good place.
I hope Danny can find work which isn't as physical and he can still meet his budget needs. He seems like a chill dude that deserves a chance.
Danny is excellent at paralegal work during prison. Hope he's encouraged and given the opportunity to do more of it.
321omgwow that would be amazing! I really hope he can get into that
Absolutely
He can become a data scientist
Or some sort of call center. Easy going and not physical
I kinda saw the privacy thing coming when the building was filmed, someone's definitely gonna recognize that bright yellow building and it was shown which apartment going up the stairs. I'm sure no one wants to do anything malicious, but man I wouldn't like all that attention. I like to keep quiet and to myself and understand where Danny is coming from.
I thought the same thing when the building was being recorded l. Hell I live in Florida but I was born in rised in Virginia an I recognize that bright yellow building. I can see why Danny is upset about the people knocking on his door that's crazy an scary. But I don't think he should be to tight with Joe because he did everything with a good heart and the apartment thing Danny found the place. I do feel like the price of rent should have been looked at better dough.
If I'm not mistaken I believe Joe also made a comment on how that building stands out
They showed the name of the apartment complex, not going to say where but it's out there.
And those balls ....I said before looks like a bright daycare with those loud colors
He should have known better to film the building, hes actually very selfish it's not like he came out of pocket for anything he just started a GoFundMe.
I hope Danny can get his privacy. The world can be a cruel place, even for the well intentioned ones. People want him to be a youtube star, pleasing the mass, but I think it's not a wise thing to do. People want him out in public, but they are not necessarily know what's best for Danny.
Sad thing is some people just see this as entertainment not for compassion for someone else's
Be careful Dan stay safe and be strong
Just a repeat of what I posted on the other site. ’s seems like Danny has PTSD. Who can blame him after all he’s been through. If he’s not already, he might benefit by seeing a therapist. I can’t believe people actually showed up at his apartment. That’s just creepy and wrong. Joe, clearly your heart and intentions were good. I kind of teared up because I don’t think his anger was justified. However, I understand how stress can take a toll. He’s worried about paying his bills. Anyway, I think it’s wonderful that you are still so supportive and are going to be there for him. He seems quite lonely too. My heart goes out to him. As for you, keep putting positive energy out there. You’re a good guy and an inspiration .
PTDS? What the hell is that?
Tosha you a bad chick. 😍
I think you meant PTSD ? A common veteran disability after combat, but also seen by people who deal with or are exposed to things so traumatic, that they cant get past it. Most likely caused by the years of solitary, and the way the extraction team fucked him up.
Richard crude he served his debt to society
I've said the same thing about seeing a therapist. I know it helped me a lot. I worked on stuff that I never knew I was holding on to. And damn! Why would "fans" show up at his place? That's just stupid!
I'm a bit disappointed to see this many negative comments concerning Danny. The man is clearly very grateful for everything Joe has done for him, and even the people online encouraging him and pitching into the gofundme to get him what he needed. I work in corrections, and Danny has shown some true rehabilitation to some extent, and was able to do a lot of that on his own. I don't think that he was ever really mad at Joe. I think the stress of normal life was just getting to him and people naturally want somebody or something to blame. The fact that he took a step back to rethink his feelings towards the situation actually speaks volumes. And to anybody who may be tempted to follow Danny or approach him in public... just let the man be. Let him get adjusted to life on the outside before bombarding him. I'm sure that as time goes on, it will become more and more apparent when he will be ready to come more out of his shell. It's too soon. I wish him nothing but the best. Joe, you have nothing to be ashamed of. We all make some mistakes (like showing the apartment building on video), but I know you will learn from it and not let it happen again. I may be making a video and addressing it to you very soon. There is one thing I really believe you could do to help a lot of people, mainly youngsters who are thinking about going down a certain path. I am a Juvenile Detention Officer, and I think you could truly help kids like the ones I work with rethink their lifestyle choices. I hope you get to see my video. I will likely post it this weekend, October 14th, or the 15th at the latest. Take care!
Most people don't understand. He's not mad, he's scared shitless. Most people would be scared if they were kept away for forty years straight and then released into this weird ass-backwards world.
Well said and so true. The man left a world 40 yrs ago to come back to a whole new way of doing things.
It must be a hell to try and adjust i can just imagine and listen to what he says.
His fear is palpable! It is going to take serious time to readjust! People have no idea what it's like to live in prison. I can only imagine from television, and hope to never find out! But after 40 years, it has to be like coming from another planet, I'm sure! No one trusts anyone while inside! They have to watch their backs nonstop! He's probably not even accustom to not having to answer to someone else! He has come from such a strict, structured environment to the real world. I can imagine he is really messed up and just needs time and patience! He also needs a job that's not so trying on a 60 year old body! I think he would do amazing doing motivational speaking to youth in crisis! I think it could help him as much as them!
I just found this channel today when I watched the first video on Danny. I ended up watching all of them. At moments I had tears pouring down my face. It’s great to see every aspect of these videos. Thank you for your dedication to helping people Joe.
Zoozooshi Crazy I don’t think so.
Zoozooshi Crazy, leave the guy alone!!! His remorseful of his past, allow him to heal and move on at his own pace. Who do you think you are sitting behind a computer and psycho analysing someone's pain, would you like to do 40 years in a 6th level security and tell me you won't come out having extra sensitivity to ppls motives. He is on a journey to healing and breaking down false belief system, and trying to understand life outside the prison walls, you sound foolish!!! leave him alone and while your at it, you better check your own heart because anyone who thinks they are holier than than the next person is an absolute hypocrite.
Danny don't like to be rushed to talk and the host seems like he's not listening he's just waiting for his turn to talk.
Yesssss. Agreed. Just keeps repeating himself. No authenticity whatsoever.
Yea, he's a real turd this go round lol
He’s gotta show respect
Joe got Danny started, apartment, job, transportation but now it's up to Danny to take the next steps, better job, cheaper apartment, better transportation. I hope he succeeds.
Tony Sunshades exactly.
TheFallsCapone good job troll
@@vintagejeansandthings1359 he has a point though it's difficult to even find him work so he could have a chance to start. How would he improve his life himself without knowing the world
He knows plenty, the world hasn't changed as much as you think. Danny is a smart guy and just needs time to reacquaint himself with life outside of prison. Also he has friends now who are willing to help. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will his life be, it's going to take time, effort and the desire to succeed.
I think Joe did good. It would have been really hard to find a person willing to rent to a felon with no credit history...
He needs an Animal. Dog or a cat. Something to Share his heart with.
April Daniels he doesnt have a heart he is an alleged murderer
honestly it would giev danny more stress BUT that would be awesome
That's a great idea...Give Him something to care about..Being responsible for an animal would be a really good thing for him..
April Daniels how about you lol
Definitely a cat. I can see Danny with a nice old cat
Danny should move to a cheaper anonymous location.
We need to do a go Fund me for Danny.. How can we do it???? I will put 100.00
Danny looks like he's in 40's not pushing 60. Pretty impressive considering the shit he's been through
I thought that exactly!!
Yitcok Shegitz ...he lived his life without smoking much or alcahol and been indoors for 4 decaids away from sunlight
Yitcok Shegitz yes, I had thought the same thing. someone mentioned the no sun. that makes loads of sense. he doesn't look his age one bit
I think prison keeps you looking young tbf. Less sun exposure, less environmental effects, less smiling.
@PorssiMies yeah he went to jail when he was 5 XD
I do worry about Danny doing that job long term...its a rough job for a man that's almost 60.
Danny get yourself a gym membership church is perfect place to meet people
@Gossip Heart You must not know what church is LOL! I go to church 2 times a week and its not at all in the slightest anything you described church being. Church is a place for worship. I don't know where you got the idea that thats what church was but its definitely not right. Also my family is middle class, we don't have much money to show off and same thing for most people who go to church.
Do they do gym memberships in church these days lol
And AA and NA is good for sober fellowship.
Gossip Heart lmaoiii
Gossip Heart daddy
Danny needs his own channel!
Wish this guy had a channel of his own but unfortunately he has no idea about technology, wish someone could help him! So much potential!
MrNoSleep OSRS Ay! I watch all your videos! Haha just watched the red dragon one
Every Scaper is proud if you danny.
Was just watching your videos lmao
Wow, actually the real no sleep
Mrnosleep has issues with sleeping aswel danny! Come stream runescape together you're gonna love it!
Help Danny. You made money from him so give him what he has earned.
Too bad Joe is a greedy bastard and barely helps Danny. Danny deserves more from all the money Joe gets from his videos of Danny
@II EXANIMATE II UA-cam pays him for all these views and ads.
scRUAM sure he dont own him shit, but come on he could help and be a Good person or even start some form of donation some ppl would Props donate
II EXANIMATE II Well Thats great but Why are everybody saying Danny Needs money?
II EXANIMATE II 200k views = $1k
Thanks for this clarification video everyone asked for Joe... you are an awesome guy.... everything happens for a reason, lessons are learned and life goes on.. have a blessed day....🌹🌹🌹
He needs help $$$$...pay him his fair share.
you don't think he get's a cut of the ad revenue?
@@moviedude22 I can't say...but he looks like he is struggling. There are many out here who can help him, if he knew how to do it on his own.
His story could be on 20/20, cnn etc. .it touched my heart. He could be doing better if he had an open door
Are people really this stupid HES MURDER TWO PEOPLE. Yes he should get a second I mean 3rd chance but don't complain when someone helping him isn't paying him enough where the hell else would he get that help
@@justinmopavich3685 the replies go according to the video...if u follow Joe and Danny, u will see how peoples replies have changed. Joe is fair and has given Danny his fair share. And as far as Danny, don't judge....no one is perfect, and we all deserve a fair chance.
Why are so many of the comments on here blaming either Danny or Joe? This whole video was about talking things out and realizing mistakes in order to improve themselves. These guys both showed the best civility there is having this peaceful conversation. Congratulations to both Danny and Joe for handling such hard subject matter so well.
Danny is such a cool dude. You can tell he really doesn’t want to hurt joes feelings but I totally agree with him. The man deserves his space. Especially after everything he’s been through.
So help Danny find a cheaper place. Get Danny to start getting his License. Then a small car. Try get Danny to start his own Business. Start maybe another go fund me for rent for a whole year. No pressure to pay rent=SAVING. That way he can save. Start a long term rainy day savings fund fro when he needs to retire. Help Danny make friends-A church maybe is a good place to start. Get Danny to start seeing a therapist.
Let Danny be rewarded as a savage murder by being made the new King of England. Fucking hell.
@@Our_feral_life people make mistakes whatever he did what he did he did his time.. Don't act like a saint now
Adam Warren *hugs* its ok man, things will work out. *hugs*
Graeme Guerrilla therapist don’t work haha u funny 😂
Yeah they dont. So I guess fuck Danny then. haha u bad 😈
I just absolutely adore Danny. 💗💗💗 I’m so glad y’all got through the issues and cleared the air!!!
Shut up and help get him a cheaper apartment!!
Brenda Taylor lol yeah really fuck the conversation
MrKillabizzle , I rather hear from Danny.
That's what I was sayn while I was watching this video...smh
exactly!
Brenda Taylor well... he is probably in a decent neighborhood.... a cheaper apartment might put him in a not so nice area.. and he may be put in a position to go back to prison...(fights.. mugging...etc)
You're doing good work, Joe. Sure you'll make mistakes along the way. As long as you have good intent, learn from your mistakes, and keep trying to help people, you're good. Danny is a good man for telling you the truth about how he feels - he did you a favor and you have a chance to learn from this lesson.
therealxunil2 ..... Spot on brother....
Thanks for the update on Danny. And thanks for sharing the details of your story Danny. Good to hear from you again. Good luck with all of your endeavors.
Danny does not break eye contact.
Solor Clips the man’s got nothing to hide
When he does it's in the classic "I'm recalling a fact/scenario and I'm telling the truth" fashion.
Thats those years.....🙏
I feel for Danny deeply as someone in recovery for ptsd and social anxiety...also dealing with chronic pain that keeps me from working... Danny is a solid cat...y'all are solid as hell. You guys always do your best and you do amazing amazing work with APS. We are all human...we all have the hindsight 20/20 deal...
Keep doing the good fellas...your work is very very important and anything worthwhile that you spend alot of time and energy on is bound to have some speedbumps. You guys do a hell of a job and Danny is a fascinating person. I hope that it all works out for him...your collective intention of positivity and goodwill...and your openness to talking about this all and recognizing potential mistakes will make that so I have no doubt. I'm Damn proud to be with the APS army.
Hell yeah
Danny needs a Soical Worker that can help him get affordable senior housing. 55 and older would be the nicest and safest place to live out the rest of his life from the financial stress he's under now at 60...Tax credit housing is another option, or a section 8 voucher...section 8 is a closed program in most every state but every few years they open up the list and you can apply. Danny's income would be looked at in all 3 of these housing programs mentioned. Then based on his low-income they would calculate his portion of the rent. Danny would have his very own place just like what he has now...maybe better. I was in jail when I was pregnant. I got stable housing when I got out but it took 3 years. My rent portion is $168. Plus water, electricity, bills, household items, gas, phone, food, ect~It's still a struggle because I'm on my own. I know how these resources work like the back of my hand. I went to college after my son was born and helped many people get housing when working with a division of the "Department Of State/Social Health Services" called "WorkSource" May be called something different in Danny's state. This is so frustrating to watch because although what Danny has now is great and will hold him over for a time...it won't last because of his age. There needs to be a game plan for Danny's future. Unless Joe will supplement his lack of income for the rest of Danny's life and Danny's pulling back so that's not a reliable option. He needs to apply for disability so he can get trama counseling, medical, and income, plus he can still work alittle but the pressure would be off so he can focus on his mental health. These are unavoidable things that need to be started now because of Danny's age. Or he won't make it! I'll be sending an email to Joe. These resources will help the After Prision program assist older men Danny's age better. With all this said I don't think Danny will reoffend by way of hurting anyone. I just think he may lose hope and fail because of not having LONG TERM STABILITY! It's a must and he desirves it! I support you Danny♡
Love your comment absolutely
@@sufficientgrace9921 Danny would do great communicating...and having a speaking job. It would help his self esteem greatly. Plus he needs to know love in the last year's of his life. He desirves to feel that from people. There are so many people in this country, and world that can help Danny but his story must go viral... and Danny has the ability to tell it. That's what makes it so special. Please everyone share all the Danny vidios! p.s. They need to be numbered and in order😊 It's all love❤
@@sufficientgrace9921 Absolutely! With our support...Lets all back Danny. Bring his story to as many as possible...all over the country through social media and the tools it provides us to do so.... We all can help save Danny. His gift is the authentic and captivating way he expresses himself. Danny is capable of attracting and holding interest with an audience. #lovefordanny
Sara Sherry most of those places if not all of them do not accept felons
@@donpepe3464 That's not true in all cases! Many men, women, mothers with children, and elderly poeple with felonies have section 8 vouchers to find housing. I work with these programs and know this for a fact! It depends on the situation. That's why people with criminal background situations need case management to get through these obsticals. One man I helped went through a VA program. Danny is a veteran. He can get help through the VA to get housing. I could walk Joe exactly how to do it.
Set an amazon wishlist for danny. Im down to pitch in
I'll help
Me too!
I'm in
Same, but how
That’s a great idea..
Im glad you did these videos Danny....we needed to know what people go through during prison and after and how hard a time a person can go through without support, by being judged, without being helped, when nobody listens...im sorry you felt bad about this, its understandable though and can respect it...but am still thankful that you shared apart of your life xxx
I think you are more in touch with your viewers than with helping Danny. Danny's case is a marathon. Slow and easy and steady. You seem to be sprinting g through this whole ordeal.
Well said.
I'm not surprised that Danny was angry about the situation - for 40 years he's had people telling him what he could and couldn't do and was unable to make his own decisions. Then he gets out to an entirely new world with very little social support and again, isn't able to make a ton of decisions for himself due to circumstances.
Then along comes Joe and APS and his entire life changed - and he *still* wasn't in charge of making his own decisions. I'm sure he mentioned the issues to Joe such as the cost of his apartment, but when you're in a position of being disenfranchised for so long, not being listened to is SOP. Yes, he found the apartment, but I'm sure it wasn't the only one on his list and there could have been others that were a better fit that would have accepted him. Joe did everything out of good intentions but doing what he thought was 'best', for Danny and for the show, might have been better thought out a bit more.
Incidentally, did anyone notice he's still talking over Danny, when Danny has an idea? At the end of the video when Danny is attempting to tell Joe about a video *he* feels comfortable making, Joe cuts him off and says "I know - a reaction video!' or something to that effect. Joe, if you're truly wanting to be a good friend to someone (whether it be Danny or anyone else), you must let them retain power over their own words. Stop, apologize for rushing past them, and truly listen to what they have to say.
Missy Pratt you couldn't have said it more perfectly! I honestly love APS with Joe Cody and Dave but i have trouble sometimes with Joe's attitude he at times seems sincere but seems controlling over content, what's said and talking over people and not really listening which you mentioned , I understand it's his UA-cam channel but it makes me kinda sad at the same time , There really needs to be more communication with those he helps and ask what they would really like to do I stead of controlling the whole situation and persons decisions...jIust my take on it .....i really wish Danny the best...and as with the APS Team...
Wow both agree. Look how seems very controling. Just comes off cocky and I stoped watching but saw this bout Danny. Anyway. Joe rubs me the wrong way. He seems more into his show then the people. Him helping people makes him alot of money on this show
He has a dominant presence from being in an all male environment for years.
Yeah that was a little weird,
I don’t think joe is a bad dude or has bad intentions.....my old man was the same way and I’m probably the same way too....would give u the shirt off ur back if u needed it.... but during conversations my old man would talk over people or finish their sentence for them.....it’s not because joe thinks he’s better then Danny or looks down at him or anything like that, it’s just how he communicates...it’s not the best thing in the world but it’s definitely something he needs to work on
It would have been more logical to have bought him a small trailer and put on a lot.Danny is older and he will not be able to keep paying such high rent living alone.On the flip side it was nice that u guys helped him but in the future better to think small travel trailers and put on a lot in my opinion.Danny is 100% correct.It's really hard for older people to work and deal esp. if they live alone.
I want to thank Danny for sharing everything. I really appreciate that much. How he was explaining through the middle of this video was so good and on point. I hope people don't approach you Danny and upset you hopefully you'll have you know a peaceful life without being paranoid of somebody's coming up behind you because they recognize you from these videos. But again I really appreciate you sharing your stories with everybody that's watching because it is helpful in so many ways. I am all about education and learning from other people's history
Some may not understand this video, and there's nothing wrong with that but please don't confuse it with him being ungrateful in anyway. That's not at all what he's saying. Some of the comments here completely show that misunderstanding. I'd say less than 1% of us have a clue of what it's like to do that much time.
Danny is a great guy and has an amazing story. Love the channel Joe, always have. Love the Danny updates as well. Hope nothing but the best for you guys, and Danny is definitely in my prayers.
What a story. Hope he end up ok.
Danny is a star now so he can start his own UA-cam channel.... I'll subscribe
Me too!!!!!
jenerraSoNice I was going to say that but I doubt he would want to have the “fame” like thT. But I’d sub too
Hell yeah. He's a true boss...I mean beast !! Sorry Danny
I was thinking the same, but when i saw this entire video, i think he doesn't want that, he wants to have time to build up his life first i think, get a social life, learning how to live his life. I Wished he would want to start a youtube career too, but you gotta be the type of person for it too.
@@budgetking2591 I was thinking that it would help his income. Seeing that the work he does is seasonal. However you are probably right.
Joe, Danny needs more direction and support. About his socializing Danny should start with help groups, lots of people going through different issues and looking other people to validate there pressures. Good place to meet people
I used to volunteer at an inner city shelter/drop-in/social-work place that also was located in an old church & had regular services for 'clients'.....such places for worship would welcome Danny & he would feel at home & have lots of support & potential friends in such a community. (and social workers, etc. are always available & eager to help)
JASON ATKIN good answers!!!
This message is for Danny... write a book, It'd be a bestseller. Danny, you are very articulate, you express yourself well and you keep it interesting.... go for it! Prison Stories, Prison Memoirs, etc...
I'm worried for Danny. Please help set him up with counseling as soon as possible. You can't just throw someone into the deep end and expect them not to drown.
Danny, you are strong and positive and there is no shame in getting help. Life can and will be good again. Starting over is not easy no matter who you are.
Jennifer....Danny stated he is seeing a doctor regarding his anxiety at this time. ....and though it is not always easy to get,, there are places that provide a degree of counseling for free or will take what can be given. Not all counselors are taking money...social service agencies, NGO's, churches, etc. all provide some counseling when you search it out. Just takes some effort to find, sometimes. There are some good doctors who know how to find help for people who can't afford much. (really....I worked with counselors who gave freely of their time to those in need, when I did social work in an inner-city resource center/drop-in...not everyone is in it for money.)
Solution:
1. Leave this apartment after the lease and go to a cheaper apartment.
2. Find an easier job.
3. Get counceling and go to the doctor to help with his anxiety.
Do you really think he can find a new job that easily if he's been in prison for 40 years?
Damn you’re an ass hole!
I would not call anyone an idiot or a sheltered moron who tries to at least think of what someone else needs. #1 is a good idea, #2 is a possibility, and actually #3 already happened....Danny said he is seeing a doctor regarding his anxiety at this time. I respect anyone who at least is concerned enough to think of what someone in difficulties might need, even if their solutions are not perfect ones. Care & compassion are never out of place. Let's ease up here. I think everyone wants the best for Danny, & that's a good start. Caring.
Pat L the only cheapest apartment available are in the hood he can get caught up with a lot of shit in the hood no direspect to you.
Cannabis and kratom would be Lifesavers
No disrespect to anyone I'm just going to say this if you ever do anything out of the kindness of your heart just do it no cameras no social media posts. I feel like Danny was a project to get this channel more views. I think Danny should make his own channel called it "Life After Danny" or The Life and Times of Danny". Stay bless.
Don't these people who post the videos get paid per sub correct?if they do of course they r gonna put content that people enjoy watching ,that way they further there channel and the bank account
@@louiejordan7625 no they get paid per ad views from everyone who isn't subscribed to YT red (and who doesn't block ads for example).
Anyone who has youtube red. They get a % based on the portion of time the subscriber watched a video that was from their channel compared to how much he watched other channels content. So for example, if I have a YT premium subscription I watch 1 hour during the month of APS, and 1h of another channel, then each get 2.75 from my subscription.
Subscribers are not monetized they just show status and help people see your content updates slightly more depending if they hit that bell.
No shit! Ratings is 🔑
Please just stfu
yep .. actually danny deserves to get part of the profit from the channel ... i do believe "afterprissonshow" intentions are honoust .. but ..playing this reality show thing should just lead to money and respect for danny ..and people like danny .. than it should stop ..and let danny s live their life ..
Im just like danny i have no social life , i know what im Capable of and beign around loud people is not my thang
Same
word
The real question is where is he getting 8 track cassesetts from?
Antique shops 😂 na I think he just miss-spoke
Thrift shops and antique shops sometimes have them
I highly doubt that jambox has an 8 track player.
Stores that sell used albums have them. If it's out there someone collects them. He probably meant cassette tape.
God I miss 8 tracks
I know someone mentioned this in an earlier video of Danny and Joe cooking, but can we PLEASE set up an Amazon wishlist account for Danny. I’d love to get him something especially because Christmas is coming up
Alexis IS set it up, I’ll contribute
I’ll buy him underwear
Can you buy me something too? Or do I need to murder someone to gain your sympathy?
@@ChadKirk do 40 years and then talk like that . your real immature , and very greedy you probably have life great but still complain..
Hey Danny, I've been following your journey since your release. I would like to encourage you to look into re-selling as a side hustle until you can transition to full time. I saw you mention that you pick up stuff at thrift stores so you are halfway there man. There are a lot of good videos and re-sellers that can show you how to get started. I myself am willing to teach you. God Bless You Danny.
Hes 59, but for me it seems like hes some cool dude in his 30's!!
Man.. what being behind concrete blocks getting no sun damage over all these years can do make you look younger.
He was like frozen in time!! I just wish him all the best, hope he will have a nice life.

Danny should write a book!!! of his life in prison and after that. It would be a bestseller
Books in 2018? Internet movie or something would been nice
@@yournamehd9964 I personally don't read books, but a lot of people do. Not all books have to be physical you can read a book online.
@@TrexMC internet movie or "Something" ^^
OH WOW!!! We're on the same page, I think so too!
Joe and Danny as I'm watching this vid what stands out the most is just how blown away i am that one of the strongest examples of effective conflict resolution I've ever witnessed is coming from two ex-prisoners. There is so much value in what y'all are doin here, you have powerful stories and strong lessons and ur reaching ppl on levels you probably don't even realize. Thank you for what you do here APS, and thank you for doing it with so much heart.
Now this is how grown men talk and work shi# out
Nothing got worked out, Danny still has an apartment he can't afford, his privacy is still ruined, his job is still to physically demanding. he did get to vent alittle
I CAN JUST IMAGINE THIS CHAT TAKING PLACE IN A PRISON YARD...GAY BOY IN THE ORANGE T-SHIRT WOULD B FULL OF HOLES💪👊👍
@@jasonu3741 you wrote your reply 2 months ago & now look at Danny. Working & lovng it, getting off intense probation, reconciled with his family & saw them for Christmas, got a truck, engaged & working on some great business offers thst came out of this.
Im not a religious guy, far from actually, and i never thougt i should say this, but what about church for Danny, its a good way to get in to a social circle with some decent people.... just a thougt
Subjective opinion
Jack Jameson you'd be surprised how many so called "religious" people struggle with that. A lot just stick around for the social aspect and the general guidance.
I was going to suggest the same thing. He could at least go once and try it out.
@Jack Jameson that's one opinion... yup... failing to see your point.
@Jack Jameson 1 Timothy 3:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Danny, I just want to say thank you. You showed me that I’m not the only one who feels these fears. You are an inspiration to us all. Just keep on going, you have already beat all the odds. Thank you for showing us your story it’s helped so many people. Stay up brother.
They should help him find a cheaper place to rent
Leave him rot. They gave him everything and now that it stopped he's bitter
@@kapitolking you're delusional
Take it down a notch Joe. Damn dude.
Joe is always loud and it comes from his own time in prison. People come out differently and many come out loud because otherwise they can't be heard. :-)
Danny deserves all the profits off his videos! He is the reason I found this channel and I was hooked. I think your show is great Joe. But Danny does deserve this. I pray he is ok.
1.1 million subscribers is a lot of CASH. Danny is a big part of that.
Don't be so hard on yourself Joe...you were just trying to help. Danny probably needs to have some counseling, but that cost $ so Idk about that. Tough situation
Danny cannot go to bars. Keep him miles away from a bar!
Danny is an extremely intelligent person! I wish him the best in life!
Fr dude is sharp
jaypack9 yea....
Danny makes you money you need to pay his Bill's. Aka he works for you so pay the man.
He has. That gofundme put this man on his feet.
@@heatholderinc4961 That is a donation from other people....
It's easy to forget Danny's age, the dude doesn't look a day above 40!
Raffica wdym like he looks 50
Unfortunately, it is one of the biggest hurdles he will face...and he mentioned it. Will be so tough to get decent work he is physically capable of doing for long. Heck, most people are looking at retirement at his age & yet he has to prepare for his future at 60! That is one tough break......I admire his courage in trying so hard.
This ngga looks 60 to me and i dont know what age he is. Yall white people age like milk lmao
Lol alright, maybe it's just us white people that look like raisins at 50, I don't fucking know, he still look healthy though.
40 that's a rough 40!!!
God has great plan for you. You have a great testimony and you have many friends on here alone. Thanks for sharing. God bless you!
Why would Danny be mad at all he was homeless and jobless and joe helped bring him out of destitution. Danny better look back at where he was
not mad, stressed. he is stressed BECAUSE he's grateful.
his job is seasonal, and the home he's got is taking too much of his pay check to save anything up. he is going to have to scramble like crazy to find another job in the winter that pays enough to cover the bills, with no extra money to fill in the gap if he's NOT hired right away.
it's not like he's a young adult starting off, he does not have mom+dad to go back to if he can't make ends meet... he will end up homeless again, and lose everything he's been working for.
Ehhh well said
It's a whole new life... Something as simple as driving in traffic is stressful, but imagine that you haven't done it in 40 years and now you're on a moped. He's just getting used to life on the outside. He's got a lot of growing to do though.
Thank u Danny for doing this. People do need a second chance . Peers do need to see this. U survived a bad government . u one good dude thank u.Keep up the good work .
Danny is one of the few out there. That know how to survive solitary will eat people alive. He went in when I was born and he came out when I turned 41 damn that's all my life. U made it bro stay alive that's all this world is cruel.
Also, he definitely doesn't look anywhere close to 60. I give him mid 40s at max
If Danny was in prison 40 years and you say that he is in his mid 40s instead of 60 the that would put him in prison at about age 5...
This guy is the real deal.I wish him well.I believe that he is completely sincere about everything he speaks of.
Yo u guys need to help him get a different job, one that is not so physically demanding
Thatone Guy Don’t forget that Danny was in jail for 40 years, his graphic tattoos, like it’s very hard to find a job because of that. He’s got murder on his record like it’s not easy to find a job with first degree murder MORE THAN ONCE on his record. Think about that
He's a born MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER!! Inner City Kids need to be exposed to this wizdom. And the law-makers must be advised by such!! Danny for president!!
He be a great UBER/lyft driver, too bad they don't hire ex-convicts..He is NICE, good storyteller, riders would love him..
@@blaxmythrsa7759 I like him but let's calm down a person with 2 first degree murderer charges should NEVER BE PRESIDENT

God Bless Danny, a regressed man from the ides of correction. He's a good, honest guy. Changed.
Danny your story is a blessing & hope for all of us with family incarcerated like myself. Danny you have such a humbling soul you're blessed. Nobody can stop what God has for you. I've been watching all your video's Danny ALL DAY . I took a nap now I'm back. I just can't wait until my father is release after 25 years & I haven't physically sense him in 32 years. Thank God for your story. Thanks Joe & the rest of the crew for y'all help to Danny. Keep Danny VIDEO'S COMING.
Danny , please understand, you’re an amazing person with a fascinating stories , and people are anxious to meet you and help Joe help you. I might drive to Virginia my damn self to meet you , at the local Walmart. Newport News ? I think Joe didn’t expect his viewers to love Danny so much !! It probably never happened before !
I don't understand why they didn't leave the gofundme account up longer, I just began seeing these videos last week. If he would of held on for atleast a week it would have went over 10k
Right..hes makin loot off of danny..pay the man his % its the rightthing to do JOE
it was over 10k
I have no doubt it would have reached $50000 at the very least!
The GoFundMe ended up making $18,000 for Danny. But I agree it should have been up for even longer!
Danny needs to learn one thing that might help his social life: 'do the things you are afraid of but none of the things that hurt you'.
If he can trust himself to stay calm and maybe ask you guys to hang out with him and maybe introduce him to some fans (?).
Wishing Danny nothing but the best in life
