This guy is less of a criminal than most politicians running our country.
And less than Ben Fordham.
💯
Well said .
@@mr12aTabsolutely
Amen.....he's an actual journalist.
Well done 2gb for not twisting and turning the interview to gain views! Showing people the true modern day spanian and hopefully helping others change their ways as he has done 👏🏼
Yes well said
Except for the middle class bit. The hood has always had it's roots in working class areas. There is a very good reason they didn't mention this. What do we do to work it out? We used to stick together and unionise. But Spanian knows nothing of this. 2gb are using him as a dupe.
@@martyp7401 We had a decade of l/np government. Abbot, Turnbull and Morrison that is why the middle class is gone. This country wasted a significant decade and now this country will never be the same again. How we as a country could vote for Abbott and Morrison is beyond belief, the right wing media and their backers are the ones to blame.
@@martyp7401 We've had 2 years of Labor government. Albanese that is why the middle class is gone. This country wasted 2 years and now this country will never be the same again. How we as a country could vote for Albanese is beyond belief, the left wing media and their backers are the ones to blame.
@@samnewman3123LOL try again mate. Go look at the stagnant real wages under the Liberals. Remember, John Howard wanted to get rid of Super in the late 90s. Labor gave you Medicare, Super and Awards and penalty rates.
Big ups to 2bg for not putting any bs spin on it and just having an interview with a human, refreshing

Of course Spanians a strict Dad. He's a man of wisdom. Lessons learned and teach his boys. Respect
After a lot of mistakes. Never forget that.
@@user-op8cw6li4oand never forget someone can change & teach others.
@@user-op8cw6li4o 100%
@@user-op8cw6li4o But even mistakes teach you, even mistakes have an upside, not at the time, but later lessons, society is all about never letting you or anyone forget, just keep judging, Spanian, like so many others, is not stuck in this, he is not proud of what he did, he is about what he has done with it....
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🏆🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Everyone has a little Spanian in them. That’s why everyone can relate to him. Love ya brah
Spanian is a character
Really?? Muppet at best!!!
@@Jonny1312 LOL
I don’t ….
@@MAC06141 then scroll mate
This bloke would have changed more lives than 15 specialist “who think they have the answers” combined……
He's a negative influence just like American rap. If you can't comprehend that then PLS don't vote.
@@user-uo7qz7dw2xYou know there’s a saying which tells you not to throw stones from glass houses. By your snide comment telling someone not to vote I’m going to go ahead and assume you’re a self entitled LNP Boomer. The LNP has done more damage to this country, which is evidenced by the videos that this man produces. If you can’t comprehend that then you’re just poorly informed and ignorant.
I been working with street kids for 13 yrs and was 1... he isnt a bad guy, but the kids definitely see him as a negative role model majority of the time. They see him as a criminal role model. They dont get the message the way he thinks they are. Unfortunately. If he just took guidance... he could do a good job for sure but he gets lost in the gronkyness of it sometimes.
@@user-uo7qz7dw2xguess we should ban computer games, ban smoking in public, ban movies, TV programmes, social media ect. Everything in life is a bad influence. Dont blame spanian. Its the parents of the kids that should not be letting them watch his videos if they deem him to be a bad influence.
@@user-uo7qz7dw2x no doubt that he would be as you said a negative influencer to some kids & you know what, them kids aren’t ready to change. but for some kids out there who have a little fire in their belly to change are taking the positive parts of his videos and running with it….. not everyone sees people the same way.
Even 6 months ago, i could NEVER have imagined sitting and watching either Spanian OR Ben Fordham, but i now sit here with newfound respect for both of them.

spanian absolutely saved my life. Got off drugs in 2020 and been clean ever since. i know 3 other people PERSONALLY that have done the same purely from his story about how he got off. Yes there will be youngins thinking its cool to do crime from listening to spanian but chances area they are already doing crime and already have alot of influence of that life style...
Legend bro ❤
So good! Proud of you!💙💙💪💪
keep working hard at it, proud of you... its a rollercoaster but when youre at the top of the wave, hang ten, ride it and enjoy it, but when you hit the bottom some days, paddle like crazy until your back on top again
EXACTLY!
Well done! You should be so proud of yourself 👏🏻💙
That's one of your best interviews Ben.. you should have him on more often because lots of people can relate to Spanian..
That's mad
Spanian needs to be careful now. A lot of people will want to interview, contact him, have him on, needs to find the ones doing it for good reason and not for there own
Why ? To talk about the same things over & over again .
@@blastermaster2383 lad he’s got dozens of hot topics he could talk about for weeks on end…
he's a scumbag dog
Great job benny for not being a tool to him. Great chat.
lol tool is Ben’s default setting.
Hectic bro
@@gun30tso why are you here then? Aren’t you supposed to be out enforcing the use of pronouns?
@@Hombre632 you don’t need to be left wing to think Ben is a tool, you knob.
Ben Fordham is a sly little boy with his line of questioning. He has an agenda and is paid off by millionaires. Spanian is being played.
Smart dude. Not just street smart but actually an intellectual. His words definitely hold some weight. Good on him for making a new start.
You need to get out bot.
Says the narcissistic bot 🤣
Very street smart, far from an intellectual. No insult intended, Spanain, but I know you'd agree.
Anyone that can reflect on themselves to this extent is something to be celebrated. He is an intellectual in my book
@@rexeverything4578you are forgetting to his followers he is smarter then Albert Einstein. Most of them don’t know who Einstein is or what he accomplished.
Spanian should take Ben Fordham and Ray Hadley on one of his Hood walks to see things from Spanian's perspective
Yes
they wouldn't survive
Take a politician
They'd never go.
No he shouldn’t. Ben Fordham is a sly little boy with his line of questioning. He has an agenda and is paid off by millionaires. Spanian is being played.
I so admire Spanian, he radiates humbleness and authenticity. Give this man funding to run and organise a youth detention come rehabilitation centre and watch the younge offenders have hope to turn their lives around knowing they can have wonderful future and be positive contributors to society. Thanks Ben for this interview. 🙂
Sorry but he wouldn’t want to do that. He's already doing it through his channel.
He is becoming the people's person. He knows, and he's seen it all.
HUMBLENESS LMAO yeahhhh have you seen him brag “I’m the biggest superstar there is, no one is better than me” classic bro 😂
He has a massive ego and is up himself. Brah this brah that, just a overpaid flog
@@seanbatty4198 When he first started his channel you’d notice his fan interactions were not great, and it’s awesome to see much better he’s gotten.
Ben, pls get him in more often. He is streetwise & talks a lot of sense.
Programming is working well.
Credit to Ben Fordham for having Spanian on. The reason we relate to him is because he owns his flaws, is unashamed in them and respects everyone, no matter what class of people with humility and blessings.

Thank you to 2GB, and Ben Fordham for allowing us to listen to this man speak. I don't agree with everything he has done and I know the station and Ben don't. But you still had him on it was a great chat. Respect to all.
The guy's videos bring in more viewers than channels 7, 10 and 9 all together in their prime times pretty funny really. Good work, let's ogg
That'd be a good way to answer the question about how much spanian makes from TH-cam.
@@Mr83rt not anything compared to the news channels, are you serious?
Goes to show how many morons are in Australia.
Compare Spanian’s subscribers to 2GB’s. It’s laughable 😮
@@richardpiva3892 Shows how this society is going down hill.
One other thing to note for the majority of Spanian’s videos is he rarely swears. Treats people with respect. Kids can watch him.
I remember when mfs used to clown spanian when he was first coming up, now he’s getting love everywhere he goes
Spanian is a bloody legend and is changing perspectives and changing lives.
I’m now a follower of 2GB and Ben.
Well done for having an authentic person on your show and not manipulating him.
You are a follower that is for sure.

Obviously they didn’t mean that kind of follower. Just listening to it.
@@MrZZsharkaapologies I have never won a discussion with a fool.
Congratulations you won that in world record time here is your medal 🏅

THANKS BEN - ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT INTERVIEW - SPANIAN - YOUR A CHAMPION
wow! I didnt know Australia had a radio station capable of doing such an interview! Great job 2GB Sydney!
LETS OGG!!
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🏆🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
One of only a few that haven't disabled comments
Big spanios pulled him up for politicising his actions in his first sentence. Absolute stand-up bloke.
Gotta have respect for a bloke who has turned his life around and believes in accountability in the current world. Great job mate.
Spanian needs to be funded by the government to help tackle youth crime. He is what the youth need. The kids respect him.
Then the government would have a job to do lol
The government aren't looking to solve the problem
He wouldn't need Government's help... he can fund himself confidently.
I don't think the government is very happy ATM 😂😅😊
Most kids/adults from low socioeconomic areas in Australia don’t have any role models to look up to so when we see someone who’s from a similar lifestyle as us it gives us hope that we can do something useful with our lives especially knowing Spanian is from the hood so it’s believable that we too can change and become rich with legitimate money!
Props to Spanian for leaving the life of crime behind and showing us it’s impossible!
💯
"The way you interpret the World is your REALITY."
Boom! 💥
Wise words from Spanian.
In my eyes Spanian is "REDEEMED" as he would say in his early its all eats videos🤣🤣
Kings cross has been "redeemed" lolol
🤣💯💯
Im a 55 yr old woman from Brisbane and I love Spanian and have much respect for him for turning his life around to doing some good..love him!!
55 from Wollongong me too
I'm 56 and have been watching Spanian for some time. His content is so different from just about anything else on TH-cam. He has been honest about his previous life and doesn't shy away from it. The fact he has turned his life around and does his best to promote change in behaviour for youth's for a better life is very different to the usual garbage you see. I like the bloke and thanks Ben for the interview.
Well done Ben for having someone real on your show.
Spanian is showing parts of Australia that most people don’t see.
The Man held his composure valiantly.
If Spanian went into politics I would vote for him, I have 100% trust in this guy
My god. We are doomed.
Yep, genuine and tells it exactly how it is,.. perfect person to shake up the career Assholes in Canberra
Politicians are the real criminals anyway
That goes to show how easily someone can buy your vote.
powderskier5547 It's a good thing you'll never get that chance, anyone convicted of serious crime and has received sentence of 12mths or more is disqualified of ever holding elected office.
This bloke is absolutely amazing. He’s so insightful and he really doesn’t use excuses for his past behaviours. Even when talking about his dad… Many people would use that to justify using drugs etc but he very sensibly just says, oh well, he was 15 years old so it’s to be expected. Absolute legend 🤜 🤜 👊
Mature Span is a pure legend. Young Spanyos looks like Eric Banner when he played young Mark Chopper Read and sent Kiethy off to the sickbay.
He didnt send keithy off, keithy simply done himself a mischief.
@@falconmclenny7284😂
Spanian is killing it lately, 100% right, people can't relate to a specialist or parole officer that's never been through anything except for reading some uni papers. Good interview 👌🏼
He nailed it. Relatable. This is why the kids listen to him because he can relate to them, unlike the politicians who are tying to figure out how to stop youth crime.
Spanian is the man, he changed my life in ways I will never be able to repay him. Keep up the good work mate, and it was great to see this interview Ben was fair and professional unlike many from the mainstream media.
Good job giving Spanian more of a voice
He is a hero to millions of us
2gb you just gained a new listener thanks for giving our man the chance to speak
Great interview. I'm a grandmother and i really like Spanian, especially when he travels abroad. I'm one of ten children, and we were poor growing up, but we had one another and food on the table and never got into trouble, but it's a different world now full of drugs. He's doing a brilliant job showing what life is like in these hoods.
He’s got charisma and it influences the way people think and feel. That’s a gift that can’t be learned. He just has it and like he said it can’t be defined.
You can see that Spanian is a good man deep down! I hope he continues to thrive in life
what a fantastic interview! and it is 100% true I used his videos about 4.5 years to help my nephew kick a horrible drug habit and get square and he is absolutely flying now!!!! These are the people that should be used to inspire us, the ones with a life lived but intentions good
Great interview Ben. It was a fair, intelligent, and thought provoking line of questions. Spanian answered them extremely well too. He is whats severely lacking these days. Honest. You can just tell the guy has a massive heart. He's also done more effective journalism than any of your pissweak bosses at channel 9. Appreciate you giving Spanian the opportunity.
Spanain is an amazing young man who has learnt from life's lessons.
I wish him the best, just goes too show you can turn your life around.
“Didn’t get angry they were 15 year olds” great thing to say mate, it’s hard when your young but understanding that as an adult is superb.
I can relate to alot of this! but more than anything was the statement that "if I hadn't lived the life I've had, I wouldn't be me"
Top lad!
Spanian is a deep soul & his impact on real society is bigger than he may ever know 🇦🇺🤘
What a interview, keep up the good work spanian
Interview of the year on Aussie MSM. Good work Ben, and Spanian, respect brother. ❤️
Spanian, shinning the light on what folk turn their eyes from.
Society aren't your parents. Be a man.
Mate, first time I'm seeing this bloke, and I have nothing but full admiration. People screw up in their lives, but only a few learn from their mistakes, own up to them, and do whatever it takes to make things better. Spanian ... you are an inspiration.
Spanian is like a rough and ready Andrews Tate, without the huge ego. I grew up on a housing estate and have seen real poverty in families. We all need to encourage and support our young people. I have the most respect for Spanian. He doesn’t support victimhood. Much love from England. ❤
An exceptional interview that allowed Spanian to answer every question without being cut off. Well done, Ben and Spanian, for keeping it real.
Appreciate Spanian for being himself, just keeping it real, no sugar coating, no nonsense, plenty of people, young and older, want and need to hear that. Wrapping people up in cotton wool and being a white knight might work in some cases, but for many, like myself in my troubled youth, being real is what they need to help build them up, be mentally stronger, instil drive and ambition and be able to actually see a future.
As long he stays on the right side of the overlords he'll make a difference shinning a light on what's the reality in our forgotten & ignored communities throughout Australia.
We've all fckd up in some way or the other in our lives. I'll give Sapian credit for turning his life around & being a roll model for his children.
They'll shut him down soon enough.
@@jasonnewstead3174 why?
@@TC_ReflexYT the majority of our prison's are privately run & cost the taxpayer $21 billion on inmates then another $6 billion in maintenance & construction.
If there's successful intervention programs keeping both the youth & adult population out of prison's they're quietly defunded & shut down. A good example was in the NT where an intervention program ran for 15yrs having approximately 120 youth's go through the program per yr & was even endorsed by the NT judiciary because of it's success rate & only two individuals reoffending was defunded in 2021 & shut down in mid 2022.
The NT government is spending 32 million upgrading the 22 bed facility in Alice Springs which will add modular cells for a total of 96 beds which are currently being built by NSW inmate's.
The private prison lobby want recidivism rates to increase beyond the current 42.1% returning to prison & 51.5% returning to corrective services.
Sapian has some real influence amongst those who are at a high risk of committing crime & incarceration. He can potentially influence people away from committing crime, reoffending even potentially inspiring other people to work with & prevent potential future criminal's.
He's a threat to the billions in profits for the private prison contractors.
Yea top lad old Sapian 😂
Hectic
Well done 2GB totally nailed his message and personality with the introduction, thank you.
Great interview and even better responses from Spanian.
Love him or hate him, Spanian is one very intelligent person
What an amazing soul you are brutha Span, Can't wait to yarn with ya and share my story. As for Ben, you are an incredibly exceptional interviewer with precise questions that strike core responses yet avoid causing discomfort! 10/10 **********
Another brilliant interview of Spanian. Such a likeable, bright, honest, impressive and dynamic person✨️
Im from N.Z and have been following spanian for a few months what he has showed and where he has been has shown so much of what we will never see it amazes me how the housing issue is around the world, here in NZ and Australia there shouldn't be empty houses and people living like these people do..thumbs up to spanian for being a voice and sharing what we all need to see that other people let alone politicians would show us
Ben Fordham is without a doubt the best broadcaster in the country. He’s not afraid to go after the tough issues and he gets the opinion of all sides. To have Spanian on is testament to this for those who are new to Fordham.
I watch Spanian and listen to Fordham. Great stuff Ben.
The guy is cringe
Good on you mate. Answered beautifully well done for showing up and putting it all out there . Respect !! God bless you and your family
This guy needs to be heard more because he leads by example and has had a genuine impact on many people. No ego, no lies, just someone who values where they are in life and is willing to share his story.
Fantastic interview. From someone with a similar reformed background, we need to promote good strong male role models who can show the youth that there's more to life then the perpetual drugs and crime. Young boys need someone to show them the right way or the wrong way pulls too hard on them. Great work Spaniard!
Great interview... let's be real... he is real, honest, no holding back and entertaining... life goes on and he is a great identity..
Respect to Spanian for saving himself & showing others there is a way out. The man is a positive.
Luv this interview! Spanian is ALWAYS a great interview!👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome interview, SPANION is so open & honest. Love watching his videos
He's so well spoken and careful with what he says and how he says it. He's the idol that Australians should be looking up to, someone who turned their life around and now he's helping out those who don't have a voice. Great bloke.
It's not just crime he inspires others to overcome. I was forced to leave an abusive home at 13 put in government care. Exposed to drugs and bad people.
Past 30 years I have either tried to bury my past or blamed myself even though I was just a young girl .
2 years ago Spanion helped me acknowledge who I am and what I've been through. I am so much happier not carrying it around with me now. I no longer have it hanging over my head, feeling like my life was carved out because of what was done to me.
More truth from 1 man than all our politicians combined. Honest words go a long way and mostly lost in today's society. Own yr actions and you're better for it. Great interview.
that "Tell me about your mum" caught me so offguard that was so random 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 Lmaooo and with no other context or deeper meaning initially
yeah shocking interview
There was so many parts he did it 😂 just threw random questions during conversation about complete different topics 😂
Great interview from both men. Thank you for taking the time to talk to each other so respectfully. I enjoyed this interview 😊
I've had a privileged life so far, but I really love this man doing what he does and the people who look up to him. In his world travels he is culturally aware and a good role model.
He’s grown so much, god bless you Spanian sir!
This man is an Aussie ICON!
Wow. Amazing. Good man spanian. Good man. Keep helping change. Spanian. Hero. Top man. God bless.
Well done to ben for this interview mate you definitely proving your self as the man of the people
I just got to say, you are so humble spanian, im 54 and you inspire me, never met you, but mate you are a great man, great person, keep going adlay eetswa
good talk, Spanian is the man, what a life story and its still going. love what he does, he tells the story that MSM don't tell.
I try and support all of Spainians content. He's a real one. From UK.
Spanian your the man..been watching you for years,I love all your content! Love watching the journey ❤
Probably the only 2 Australians i'd listen to.Ben Fordham and Spanian.
What about AC/DC?
So good, just subscribed! Can not get enough of Spanian.
NOTHING is better than teaching younger kids about crime from someone thats overcome it 👏🏻👏🏻
Well done Ben Fordham for bringing him on and we’ll done 2GB for the unedited video of the interview!!
He’s a man Humbled by the streets ,crime and poverty teaches you to be in the relevant and the now as its survival every day and not live in agendas of the governments and the media ,people relate with him because he’s a real human not fake and can relate to the everyday struggling Aussie .
straight up G interview Ben keep it Raw Brother and people will listen just like they do to Spanian
call me " social media superstar" .... love em haha
Thanks Ben great interview. 🤙
Hey Spanian your interview was real .With the drug problem and mental health it’s now an epidemic.Working in this field is a challenge.Glad you’ve changed your life around
Within 1 day this is now the 2nd most viewed video on 2gb's channel. By the end of the week it will be the most by a long shot. Great interview.
Outstanding interview 2GB. First video I have came across of yours since you finished at the morning show and I’m so glad you are giving this man time to talk without interruption and respecting him regardless of his past. I enjoyed the fact that it was an interview and not a typical media debate pierce Morgan style. This is exactly what the audience want to see.
Great work guys and what an interesting colourful character this fellow is.
As real and genuine as it gets. Very relatable
Great chat fellas, awesome questions Ben. Well rounded interview.
What an awesome interview Ben with Spanian. People should not judge him who gives them the right like REAALLY that sux!!! We are all human some do good some not so good. That's LIFE!! Stay humble Lad and always be waiting for your next content 🤙
You can tell he’s very aware, humble and authentic. He’s a good communicator too. He knows when to speak and when to listen. I’m a fan
Humility saves every man
Spanian the EXAMPLE the young people need nowadays
