Proud to call Joel a friend, and his family is awesome as well! I managed to get Joel to do a talk for my Daughters sports club a while ago. I knew he wanted to get into public speaking and putting his story out there and thought “here’s a chance for some experience for him” did a great job too!
"Its been good, its been a pleasure - the Sky is the limit" - you keep on Joel - absolute legend mate! Thanks for sharing such an inspirational dude Shaun.
Very uplifting, Joel is absolutely right. Happiness is inside our selves. Even though sometimes it is hard to get hold of. Thank you Joel for this message. Gonna listen to your story on Ted.
You’re deffo the Ecstasy Version of Howard Marks! 😂😂 This is unreal! I think you should do more talk videos with Joel and old acquaintances of yours Shaun, maybe even a podcast in the new future.
Damn Joel reminds be of my best friend who had extreme case of orofacial cleft i think it's called in English. It actually opened my eyes back then that how cruel even adults can be to kid who has something like this and i have to admit that i started to hang out with him just for the pity first because everyone was bullying him and i was a big dude and had chance to protect him, we actually got in so many fights with people who bullied him that they decided to move US to other school instead of the bullies. He was a great dude, we supported each other trough tough shit for almost 15 years before he ended up committing suicide because apparently the discrimination and bullying was too much. Teenagers actually openly laughed at him and took pictures like he wasn't even a human being... Even talking about this still makes me so fucking angry at the world because i really miss the dude and peoples ignorance and cruelty took him away from us. Joel is has to be one the strong minded persons i have even seen and i hope him all the good in the world, such an inspiration!
Raw Sauce, yes, he went trough 4 or 5 surgeries if i remember correctly but they were more to ease his life than fix appearance and there was something about his chin bone that made it impossible to kinda reconstruct his face. Plastic surgery is not a big thing here so maybe there would have been some chances but no way anyone got that much of money laying around but his family and i would have sold everything we got to help this guy and he knew it so that makes me think that he didn't even consider that option because we all are "low income" ( not sure whats the right phrase there but pretty much we don't make much money ) and he didn't want to put anyone on more debt than they already are.
Shaun I want to ask you another, non prison related question: What was the ultimate "trigger" that made you indulge into the rave scene? For me (you're 10 years older than me) was the fact I loved Commodore 64 8-bit computer games as a 12 year old. 8 bit composers like: Jeroen Tell. Also Belgium/Holland was one of the wackiest scenes back then: Yves Deruyther, Bonzai records, Cherry Moon members of mayday,... But one of my first recollections of this new phenomenon was music like: One love: Prodigy and Marss - pump up the volume on MTV. Cheers!

radikaali was it not 'repairable', if you know what I mean. Could plastic surgery not have improved it?
Raw Sauce, yes, he went trough 4 or 5 surgeries if i remember correctly but they were more to ease his life than fix appearance and there was something about his chin bone that made it impossible to kinda reconstruct his face.

Was wondering if you’re allowed back in America after you were released and if so, have you been back?
Top bloke
Just watching the first few secs of this video and I'm already thinking: how did Joel managed to get his glass eye back? Lol!

Wait a minute that’s not wild man
How come you weren't forced to be in the Aryan brotherhood
