-My name is Joe Guerrero.
I'm the creator of AfterPrisonShow,
based here locally in Chesapeake, Virginia.
I've been doing this for three and a half years.
Can I do that again?
What's goin' on, everybody?
Welcome to AfterPrisonShow and, my god,
does it feel good to be back.
I've made a lotta mistakes in my life.
In and out of incarceration, whether jail or prison.
Ended up going to prison two times.
Nothing that I'm proud of.
And it was during this last time that I went to prison
that I realized, if I was gonna stand any chance
of amounting to anything in this world,
I was gonna have to do things completely different.
-Took a different route. We didn't go through LaGuardia.
Thank god! I'll never do that again.
Expedia, ya steered me wrong.
That cannot be our luggage.
There's mine.
-Are they able to push that back on there?
-We got a little bit of a luggage backup.
When I got released in 2015, ultimately,
I would work any job that I could find.
One job, in particular, was at a pizza establishment.
It didn't pay me very well at all.
Ended up quitting that job and then, I ended up working
at a concrete construction company, at a plant,
all the while, trying to not only create videos,
but also trying to learn.
-Anything over 80 cents is a dollar in the system.
I don't know why 79 cents isn't,
but anything 80 cents is a dollar.
-In prison, you're never gettin' away
with this being valued at a dollar.
-I work with AfterPrisonShow.
I don't really have a role.
I kinda do everything.
I guess they just call me behind-the-scenes person.
That's what everybody knows me on the show as.
-They take their hygiene, first,
and they will gamble their hygiene
before they will gamble their food.
-Because you can wash your butt with a honey bun.
-Well, I come here.
Usually, Joe was doing a morning show on one
of our social media platforms.
Rough-cut or sometimes finalize the video,
film the videos we need to film,
whether it be going out in the field, doing interviews.
Other than that, that's really about what we do every day:
edit videos, get 'em made for YouTube, film more videos.
-What are we gonna do for meat? -Chinese food's usually pork.
Or I'm just saying a lot of it's pork.
-I didn't even consider it like a YouTuber
or making videos for YouTube.
I called it a reality show, because that's what I ultimately
thought this was,w as this was my reality.
The poker video, I think, is gonna be a real hit.
I think people are gonna be real excited about that.
And then, it was this one, particular time
when I made a video called how to make a prison tattoo gun
and I watched this video go viral.
It's crazy to admit this, but, literally,
it was one of these, a prison-style tattoo machine,
that helped me to survive prison.
I know you were talkin' about some guys
at the halfway house fixing things with ramen.
-Ramen noodles. I love what Joe's doing here.
A lot of his stories are different,
but, inevitably, like, we met in prison, you know?
And he had cartoon characters
and he'd always talked about maybe doing something like this.
He had a blog and this is the reality
of the energy he had, you know.
-Alright, let's go ahead and put these cheese curls
in that handy ramen noodle bag.
The next thing is just to keep doing what we're doing.
The next thing is to see AfterPrisonShow
do something bigger, possibly a halfway house.
I just went and purchased five mopeds
in an effort to help individuals
who don't have transportation back and forth to work.
We've got possibilities with television.
We've got possibilities with books
and AfterPrisonShow cookbook.
You know, YouTube is a dog-eat-dog world, you know.
If you do not stay relevant and if you do not stay fresh,
there will be somebody else who will be.
-You know, if you're in a dorm situation, keep a blinky.
-And it's not easy to survive in this genre.
Though it's beautiful and though it's glamorous
and it can offer very lucrative success,
it's very easy to disappear.
-There we go! -Hey, look, Gelico.
Eh, eh, Gelico.
-This is at the end of the night,
when you're worried about what you got.
-Let me get a shot of you walkin' off into the sunset.
