What an amazing story, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The insight Andrew has into the prison world is priceless. Thankyou for sharing your story with us all. Wishing you all the best in the future.
@@jw-vx8im spot on mate I grew up with Andrew we had some tough guys in Briar Hill Andrew wasn’t one of them he didn’t have a violent bone in his body he just wanted to belong somewhere safe after his first 13yrs of abuse he’s funny as fk we did hilarious shit to each other he was with another couple of Greensborough guys hanging out on flinders st steps when he’s first incident happened we couldn’t believe it happened so out of character for Andrew he blacked out he has no memory of the event and we didn’t know what happened to him until another mate went inside and found him. I talked to kirbs for 4hrs on Sunday he hasn’t changed at all we just laughed about the old days he’s memory is fantastic we had 2 guys in group with full back tattoos aged 12/13 Andrew & Germ lol imagine the looks we’d get in the city little kids stoned drinking piss covered in Tatts the 80s were the best lol
Given his story, to be out for 2.5yrs says a lot about his drive and determination honestly. Sounds like Kirby has turned his life around, hope he continues with the momentum and hope some young heads watch this and listen and learn...
Very moving interview.. 1 of the best if not the best interview I have ever seen of a individual having gone through that life to be out and tell their story and willing and doing self change in themselves.. all the best Kirby . Nice King Dave.
Well done 👍 David, this one was deep brother. Remember hearing about “Crazy Kirby” growing up in 80’s & 90’s here in Melbourne (I was just getting in to scene). Glad he’s also turned his life around, God Bless 🙏
@@dailycatchup3320 firstly I couldn’t give 2 shits if u heard of me “bruh”, that life’s putrid anyway. I gave that life up years ago. Second, I rolled with Islanders & Lebs/Wogs as that’s what I am so Neo Nazis was someone I didn’t respect. I only respect Kirby for changing his life.
Love ya channel bro I’ve been out since 2018 n I told all my brothers in there that yas won’t see me in prison again they all said yeah right see u in 2 months well I’ve turned my life around I’ve had a full time job since I’ve been home and now I’m helping people turn there lives around love ya show doing positive stuff
Wow Kirbs, we used to hang out a bit around bell st rock days I've often wondered about you and how you ended up now I know. Hard to believe how your life turned out and all you went through , good luck with everything in the future.
Hey simmo it's kirbs,thanks for the well wishes,not a day goes by when I don't think about those days, always loved hanging out with you,I'll send you a message, hope all has been well with yourself 👍
great show brother - highlighting a different side of life that is a reality but some will not know sorry i could not make it for the live and mod in the chat - watching the replay right now - just jumped in to throw some support in super chat
Did ya check ya pay pal cuzzo ? Much peace ✌🏾 always- keep going strong with the program - so inspiring and humbling to see. Stay strong in the light of god bro
I remember back then they had a ambulance parked permanently outside B division due to the excessive violence, it was every day ,had to be on your ties back then, kids today don't know what hectic is in prison. I was there when those murders went down
To come out the other side of the life he lived as the man he portrays today is truly remarkable. Proof to anyone, anywhere who thinks that they’re hard done by and life owes them a favour, and that their problem forces the life they live, can change if they want to. It takes a better man to step up and decide enough is enough and want to change their life. And few people have lived the kaos that Kirbs has, seriously. Full respect from me Kirbs. I wish you all the best in your journey ahead, you should be proud of yourself for turning your kaos into education when nobody can change the past. From a life where only the strong survive to now a role model shows what a person with a goal or desire can achieve. Good luck.
Andrew has the courage and survival instinct of a lion he was homeless and broken when I met him he’s younger than the 4 of us in group and he’d been bullied by everyone he already had a full back Tattoo at 13/14 we all have older brothers and learnt to fight so we protected Kirby we gained respect including Cooper Andrews closest mate bashed 14 skinheads and drew with Dane in 1 day aged 17 we lost Andrew to the System after a incident at Flinders St Station when he was 17 probably 65kg sent to the worst division in any Australian jail he had to join Danes group or Die he built himself into a true hard man feared by most when he doesn’t have a violent personality he’s always had a big heart and now he’s reforming himself and dealing openly with his Abuse so his journey is even crazier than we can imagine!
The cops are still corrupt, nothing has changed. If you treat a man like an animal, he will not let you down. Shot from an Aussie bro. Your doing Gods work here mate. Respect this a lot.
I loved in particular that self-audit after being sentenced for the riot in Brissie. The dismantling of self for a complete rebuild. That is powerful stuff. For those that are trapped within that 'twilight zone' there is nothing like an honest self-audit to begin the process towards change. Melbourne in the mid to late '80's up until the mid '90's was when I was running amok too. They were crazy days. It seems like those days were many lifetimes ago....I thank God every day for breaking the shackles of my drug addiction. Great stuff guys.....
Thank you, you rebuild and get yourself sorted,only to be torn down and told you have trauma and issues that need to be sorted. “that’s what the rebuild was about in the first place”, I am absolutely disgusted in what I’ve seen so far amongst society,
Hey bro love the content. Just a quick heads up so you no from a viewers point of view…It felt like your voice was missing from asking him questions at the start just had him talking and talking without your voice
I was deported in 92, but back then the Melbourne lot I met a couple of were called..Die Hards. ..or Inner City Firm. They definitely breed them hard in Victoria....
Fuck me dead. To go through all that and still come out like how he is now, unreal man. How daunting to do time for 27 years, step out of jail and realise how much things have changed on the outside. So sad but yet so happy for him - change is real man. God speed brother!
thats all i know-unfortunatly, happy life has changed for kids, i still hate bullies and go to another state of mind when in those situations, dont be a bully...
looks like a genuinely nice person with a placid personality. Very unfortunate that it all began for him with being bullied in his younger days! good to see where you are now.
We took Andrew in to our group when he was around 13 he was a scared little unwashed homeless kid but he was funny & smoked bongs and from 13-17 he lived with us never had a fight he’s definitely not racist we had 2 Abo’s in group they were good mates it all changed in prison Dane was the only guy he knew the rest is history but he was never a violent kid
Have done it all what he is talking about but I was locked up at 11 and then in and out about 15 times more been out 9 year's now longest ever was locked up with every one this guy is talking about but never meet this guy did meet Dane very nice guy..👍🙏
I’m from QLD (Brisbane) and it can get pretty hectic here in some certain areas.. but I’ve heard Melbournes a spin out place..I would like to go to Melbourne to have a good time..but I’ve had couple mates from Melbourne and heard few stories about Melbourne..but don’t worry Brisbanes reputation is easily as big as Melbournes..
Back in the day we knew no different. My full respect to you brother Kirby & all the best to you . First time in the ''Rock'' anything under 2years you wouldn't call it a lag. Then 20 years later they were calling 2 or 3 months a lag🤣 and no more honour any more. Thank you King David for your fantastic awesome show. Much love gentleman.
May God bring you peace, joy and prosperity for the rest of your life as you have indeed turned your life around. Stay strong and soldier on brother love from sydney
Wow crazy he came out the other side.A retired cop said 2 me when i asked what was the scariest gang he came across on the job here in NZ Said Forth Reich .Didnt knw that movie ws based on a real story heard of the gang tho .Crazy interview
Got opportunities coming outta my ass , got 3 books to write, maybe you could help and have abit of input, I'd appreciate that, I've spoken to director of romper stomper about doing another movie about my life ect, give me a day or 2 and I'll send you my details, much love and respect Mick,
Played footy with Kirbs in the country town he spoke about. Knew hed been in jail but didnt know what for it wasnt talked about. Shame his life went down hill after early to mid 90s. Good footballer to.
When your treated as an animal for most of your life whilst locked up, you will slowly become the animal but then you are released back into society expected to behave like last 10-20yrs in a cage does nothing to your mind.king Dave must help ex felons and steer them in the right direction and get the message to the youngsters and being hard or in a gang doesn’t really get you anywhere in life and as you get older you begin to realise the stuff you did is shameful and embarrassing and wish you never walked that path but it’s hard for a young man/woman to hear the advice.a real gangster takes care of his family,going to work and offering good advice to young kids to stay away from the peer pressure.
man i'm blown away by kirbs and resisinate on how hes childhood was and i suppose most of us can, i wish there was more of these kind of talks in schools and stuff maybe some kids would change their direction and not follow this fantasy from movies and rap videos on how good of a life that life is.[
I remember the night the Skins rolled into the Great Britain Hotel and tried to roll the pub, Death Metal bands were on, a lot of big boys and the front bar was hard as fuck locals, they got pumped but it was pretty full on, Dane was there...he went to jail not long after. I saw him about 2013 at the servo at the Airport, said hello, he was still a heavy presence. They were intermixed in the Metal scene back in the early 90's...but it was a very multicultural and inclusive scene then, if you were Metal, you were family.
Hey bruz, Never heard of this lad before, but jeez for a person who himself had lived life like a scumbag for the majority of it. Actually seems to be doing really well. Great work mate
Much love to the bro and the show. Sad news about the clink brother
Yeah hard I was gutted when I seen that. Hopefully it gets thrown out
Gutted on that news shame that if true that the past has come back like that especially as I consider him reformed.
Clink hard brother
What happend to the clink?
Sad news my love and prayers go out to him and his family
Dudes probably one of the realest guys you have had on here
Not just talking the talk
All bite no bark
100%
Hi Dave can you get him back on, I feel like we only got a small glimpse at his life! Please bring him back and do a 4 hour podcast
He’s a GC eh. Violent lil Bastard 🤣don’t make em like that anymore. But can see heart of gold and would look out for the first laggers n that
He's a nazi. U know what's is
@@joeblow9927 He was a Nazi, big difference. If you won't let a person change their mind then you are the problem.
@@snuscaboose1942 not much of a difference, the label is abhorrent. Much like a woman beater, rapist, pedo etc.
People who commit those crimes are the problem.
100% this guy needs to be heard in full or a book ad least. Thanks for the insight with your questions.
My dad always said; 2 wrongs don't make a right, the people that hide behind their power are the worse people. Everyone deserves a second chance, all the best hope your next chapters go better than the ones you have lived.
What a story. Kirbs has got a hell of a story to tell, respect to you Dave for giving him the platform
Great episode dave ...the episodes with the melbourne crims are the best🖒
Maybe an episode on all the different gangs in barwon and port phillip next
I would like to hear what thefelonshow knows about barwon
@@MountyFt4 His already dropped one about being in barwon
What an amazing story, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The insight Andrew has into the prison world is priceless.
Thankyou for sharing your story with us all. Wishing you all the best in the future.
Unbelievable wow! Man, you've talked to some bad felons but this guy is next level. Great video.
Sad thing is the screws and cops have contributed to the way he was.
Deep down he is a good person just had bad circumstances surrounding him
@@jw-vx8im spot on mate I grew up with Andrew we had some tough guys in Briar Hill Andrew wasn’t one of them he didn’t have a violent bone in his body he just wanted to belong somewhere safe after his first 13yrs of abuse he’s funny as fk we did hilarious shit to each other he was with another couple of Greensborough guys hanging out on flinders st steps when he’s first incident happened we couldn’t believe it happened so out of character for Andrew he blacked out he has no memory of the event and we didn’t know what happened to him until another mate went inside and found him.
I talked to kirbs for 4hrs on Sunday he hasn’t changed at all we just laughed about the old days he’s memory is fantastic we had 2 guys in group with full back tattoos aged 12/13 Andrew & Germ lol imagine the looks we’d get in the city little kids stoned drinking piss covered in Tatts the 80s were the best lol
@glennplumb2313 thanks for the reply. Hope your both going well
Given his story, to be out for 2.5yrs says a lot about his drive and determination honestly. Sounds like Kirby has turned his life around, hope he continues with the momentum and hope some young heads watch this and listen and learn...
That was unreal .
Killing it with these interviews but that was one of the best 🙏
I really appreciate you posting this video. Thank you.
How’s this blokes resilience. I can’t even imagine what this blokes been through. Good on him for turning it all around.
As a nazi?
Uh being in prison for decades? Lul

Getting into the scene ? Never heard of ya bruh

Well done on another awesome interview, would love to Kerby come back for part 2
respect to both, great interview
What a trooper. Much respect to you Kirbs. Imagine where you will be in 5 years. Keep it up mate!
I honestly got shivers up my body heading this story, reminds of the suffering my best mate went through in prison for decades.
