well this is a cosy little smugglers tea party
😂😂😂😂
😎😂😂😂
Ya! 😂👍
You are only jealous that you are not invited, hell I know I am,.
Yank, here.This chap is the best guest yet. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I saw this mastermind on Dyer’s TV program some years ago. Thank you, Shaun. And cheers to all of you English lads & ladies watching the interview! 🏴 England!
Well thank you very much lad lol 😂👍
Oh my god you don’t understand how much I’ve wanted this interview. Pulled it out the bag mate 🙌🏼
🐨🕊
5 minutes in and I love this guy already. Cutting crystal in radio to receive half frequencies is just pure genuis!
This guy is so articulate. Proper smooth criminal
He could fit in anywhere, great speaker
Hes all over the place
Hes definitely a story teller
it's a shame how folks glorify death and addiction peddlers such as this criminal. Instrument of oppression and merchant of death gets admiration smh
Ammanuel he never forced anyone to take drugs.
This is the sort of criminal that Jeremy Clarkson tells you drives a JAAAGGG
😂😂😂
Ya! Pmsl 😂
Exactly
Best podcast story I’ve listened to . Amazing listening . David almost puts you right there with him , with the details
His voice is befitting of the House of Lords but his storytelling is reminiscent of Howard Marks. What a character.
Definitely get this guy back on for more episodes. He's interesting and speaks well!
good stuff, david's voice would probably do well in an audiobook / radio scenario
=== Hi Jimmie;
well, prompted by you and quite a few others, I’ll be putting out an audio version of the books. Recording now, and due out in about a month. Actually, helps because these events are so complicated (as real life is!), that I’m sure it’s not only easier to follow if I tell it myself, but more entertaining. I think a first for true-crime books to have the writer himself do the reading
Best interview so far by a country mile. I could listen to his stories all day! Talk about a fascinating life!
Brilliant work Shaun on getting him for the Podcast.
I have both of David’s books, and I love to listen to him speak. I lived in Thailand for 16 years and so many of the places he talks about are places I know well, and he has very rare and detailed insights into the way things are in Thailand that you never really hear anywhere else.
Let's just forget that he is personally responsible for the destruction of thousands of lives and unknown numbers of girls hooked on drugs as part of false prostitution, not to mention babies born addicted to drugs, families shattered and human potential destroyed while he earned millions. We get outraged by men in Hollywood who sexually exploit women and make a hero of drug sellers. Where are the brains and where is the humanity of people watching this?
You help him profit from his crimes. Too much larceny in your soul.
@@downsouth5971 your negativity isn’t wanted or needed. It’s part of life having crime and if it isn’t your thing to listen too then there’s plenty of corrupt, Sorry I mean genuine police officers stories you can listen too 🥴
@@lewisgamer9850 Corrupt Cops, of course, are the same as you, something we need to get rid of, like Societies Parasite mistakes.
Awesome. Do you know what his movie is called by any chance?
Im 6 minutes in and already know this is going to be a good one. GREAT CONTENT SHAUN!!
SHALL I GET MY COCK N BALLS OUT FOR THIS ONE??? IM 6 MINUTES IN AS WELL....
SHALL I GET MY COCK N BALLS OUT FOR THIS ONE??? IM 6 MINUTES IN AS WELL....
@@justpunishingvaginassince1923 CAN YOU FIND IT?
"He had to gather his composure" lol priceless.
Shaun's great he should get millions of views for these. Knows how to interview people.
This guy looks like an innocent school geography teacher
Never judge a book by its cover 😂😂😂
He looks just like my nan but a male version. Best podcast yet though.
How the devil are you old boy! lmao! Posh rogue!
QUIET ONES ARE ALLWAYS THE WORST...LOL, NAAAH, HE JUST KNOWS LOOSE LIPS, SINK SHIPS...…………….HOW DID HE MAKE THE LADDER THO??????????.
Shaun never learned to be a geography teacher!
Yeah, but that voice and those mannerisms are dashing rogue all the way. He's like a combination of Han Solo and Sherlock Holmes... Or Moriarty.
He's got the most unique voice i've ever heard, Its quite soothing
Hardly unique, he thinks he's posh
Great storytellers voice. And a great wit
its a posh old australian accent. From the time when the aussie accent was still transitioning from the proper english it used to be to the one we recognise today.
He's the most fascinating old person I've ever seen. This is a guy I'd volunteer at a retirement home just to talk to.
He is anything but 'old'.
He’s not that old, but anyway I did volunteer at an old peoples home when I was younger and oh my god some of the stories are amazing. It’s easy to forget that in most cases old people are just young people who have been around a long time!
Wait, but he's not bald Shaun!
Mandatory head waxing should have been rule number one
Get enough bald guys on d podcast and Joe rogan will eventually turn up
Better reset the " x days since bald guest" clock..
Never throw N64 games in the bin - especially if they aren't yours.
@@darrenfood good shout
Have listened too all 9 parts of these pods in the last cpl days, and re listened too the best bits. What a fascinating story, great shawn got him as a guest!
I'm only on part 1. What are the rest of the episodes about?.
Love David. He has such a way with telling his stories. Can't wait for PT2.
As a Aussie I can't believe he is alive and free lol crazy story man his under belly series is good
Always look forward to hearing this exchange of wit n wisdom
Thank you
I kind of want to hear David talk more about the little bit of trivia from his dealings with crime ( like rubies showing up on x-rays because of their aluminium content and being able to smuggle certain organic goods in wood because they look the same on an x ray) as well as the cooler stuff like breaking out of prison and his personal experiences, I think he is quite an interesting character.
This guy seems most legit out of everyone. Great interview, looking forward to more!
Reminds me of a great, very intelligent ol' friend of mine. Great guest. Glad to see there is more.
I've never seen a podcast host look so sharp. Another super interesting episode
Wow,
I'm an Aussie and I'd never heard of this guy until now. This dude is hardcore, it's rare that I ever see anyone that I'd follow behind and no offence Shaun, I was impressed by what you did, what you made, lost and your survival. But as a criminal, McMillian is leagues ahead of anything you ever did.
Oh, I'm sure Shaun would have been climbing on that rope if the situation demanded it! And keep in mind, there's some things just too raw to tell. (Though, next year, I'll be putting out some books called 'fiction', which, with name changes, will be the only way to tell some stories without getting old pals nicked!
@@DavidMcMillan888 - Oh shit, a reply from an actual TH-cam person! A first for me. I'll keep an eye out for those books, mate. And can't wait to hear Pt 2. .
BTW, my entire life I've aspired to be able to speak like you. Aristocratic with a villainous edge. I'm working on it, I've come a long way from the bogan SE Melbourne vernacular that I was raised with...
I was in Pentridge Prison with David back in the day...Smart bloke.
What where you doing there?
Fascinating guest Shaun. I was captivated from the very start. Definitely get him back on
BULLYYYY1 which one mate? There are a few
Wow what a podcast. This man is just what you'd expect a movie villain to be like. Well spoken, connections all over the world and always has people who need him alive. I'd be much more worried about getting into business with him than I would someone who's more broad than brain. The fact he exudes intelligence and speaks so articulately also made this an interesting listen. Best one yet Shaun. Keep it up
Do you mean more "More BRAWN than brains?" I am curious. "Broad" means wide or a not so nice word for a woman.
Ask him who was the most dangerous character he ever came across in his smuggling days
Good question
He said it was Filthy mcnasty
Earthquake magoons
Ronnie Pickering without question!
He’s literally made Shaun attwood geek out
this is the best guest mr attwood ever had, smart eloquent and a life story straight out a novell
You asked how we feel about multi-podcast? love it, more, this guy is awesome :)
Still love the 'take that sock off your face too' and 'he talking to his knee' XD
And the burly man selling flowers
One of the most interesting podcasts I have ever seen! The guy is clearly some sort of genius.
Yeah definitely a second one that 2 hour flew by. Could listen to this guy all day haha 👌
so many things resonate within the various twists n turns of the enthralling escapades
Hi Shaun, any update on part 2? This was an absolutely fascinating conversation, can't wait for the rest. Cheers.
Update 2 is already up
A revealing insight into the man and his motivations. Well done, Shaun.
It's amazing how many ppl had similar circumstances but completely different experiences
This guys a real old school gangster what a gem. 💎
He got people hooked on heroin and used and dropped them. He organised mules. Also hints at people being terrified of him. Total scumbag. Smart no doubt but evil. Now that he is old he plays at being regretful and reformed. Give him his youth back and a new identity and he would be back to his old and utterly evil tricks in a heart beat.
I could listen to this guy for hours.
Sames! 😂 lol
I seen this guy David on tv before I was pure mesmerized by him he his the real deal what a man a true genius balls of steal clever very intelligent and a gentleman I'm sure he has plenty of more story's he keeps to himself aswell...this is a guy to look up to :)
Love this guy's voice and intelligible speach! I vote for him to be the next 007!
David Hartenstine he’s so articulate and amazing to listen to!
@Nosaveddata You got that right ... I guess the next 007 will be a Muslim Arab ...
@Nosaveddata i forgot. You are correct.
Next oo7 will be a black transgendered lesbian
He is so correct. We fear the unknown so even his manner of speach spawns mystery. Love his sense of humor. I could listen to him all day. Thanks again Shaun.
Man, I'd be bang up for hearing more from David!!! He's certainly lived a mental life!!!
Its not just shape, and organic vs inorganic, substances of varying density appear differently in x-rays.
True, and so the compression of the packed material should match the surrounds; for example, if wood, then press Coke to 1.3cm³ per gram. That aside, modern airport scanners, such as Analogic’s ConneCT Checkpoint baggage X-ray machine can highlight the edges. The solution? Check-in baggage, which is checked almost exclusively for explosives.
Anyway, once you find yourself in front of an IONSCAN 500DT machine, you know you’re in trouble anyway!
I hope you both have the chance for that Part Two. This is fascinating.
Five minutes in laughing my head off already 😁
What a fascinating gentleman. I am excited for part 2.
This guest is cool. I prefer this to the storytelling types who are probably making a lot of it up.
Sames! lol 😂
.... the best interview in my opinion to date! What a legend of a gentlemen! Cheers Shaun!
This guy is a legend seen him on danny dyers deadliest man this is going to be good well done shaun on getting him on
He reminds me of Gandalf when he said to Bilbo: "Well, a good story deserves a little embellishing,"
This is the most incredible interview/podcast I've ever seen, I'd happily *pay* for more.
David is the spit and double of my stepfather. I had to do a double take. They could be twin brothers. When I showed my mother she was stunned.
My favourite to date,smart man,one step ahead.if not 2.
When Grandpa did time in Alcatraz,he would communicate with others by writing a messege on a turd( his own) and flush it too dah others.
He called it "talking shit" and dats where dah saying came from.
i remember your grandpa, he had diarrhea once and talked non-stop for hours, the guards came in and kicked the shit out of him just to shut him up.
Shawn i love your over reactions! 😂😂
@B.D W yes... It's very nice.
Don't stop. Carry on. This guy is fascinating.
Cant wait for next saga-thrilling entertainment ..well done Shaun -David is a gem
I had a bit of a chuckle when he said instead of being a heroin dealer be more like the physicians of the world and do no harm.
Ya! 😂👍
I was gutted when I finished the podcast with Chet, but I have a copy of Escape by David on my bookshelf and have read it twice, looking forward to listening to this!
EDIT:
Tried the link for the film but it says the channel the video was posted to has been 'closed.'
What a charming chap! Great to see our underworld comes in all shapes and sizes.
I find him charming as well
Like he’s an earl with the way he talks and then Keith Richards in his actions. Fantastic
Hollye Rorabaugh he’s such a character isn’t he, I’m trying to see all the other programs he’s been on. I love people that aren’t who they come across as, hidden in plain sight baby! Your super fine!! Just had to mention that. Lovely 😊❤️
Shaun, you are really getting the guests on now mate!!! It's great that you're covering all types of criminal and their varying opinions, good to see your channel go from strength to strength!!!
"If you haven't got the money tonight, we'll just come back tomorrow night". Wow. Criminals are very different overseas, apparently.
Guessing you aren't perhaps Eng/Aus.......your'e missing the implied/ threat of menace in the second half of the sentence! Just delivered in a gentlemanly way.
Could watch this fascinating chap for hours. What a diamond geezer.
Love the channel, Shaun. Peace
I used to watch none stop joe rogan. Shauns podcasts draw me in way more nowdays! Top bloke.
Joe rogans a spent force
Fascinating. So much to say the conversation is all over the place. Another great podcast
Lot of life things to learn from this guy, thanks for this
By far the best interview I've heard with David - Yet again Shaun you've smashed it. Looking forward to getting on to part 2 tomorrow :D
Sounds like a Badass Q...
"This isn't just any normal pen Shaun, you jab it in the eye and it becomes a lethal weapon"
His peanut anology was great... I once took some peanut M&M's onto a plane knowing we were told not to because of someone with an allergy but it was a 12/13hr flight to Australia for fucks sake, what was I supposed todo... and I didn't declare them... Peanut Smuggler is my Prison name... oh wait that sounds bad.
Great story Number 47! At least I'll know who to contact when they finally pass the Peanut Act!
Seen him on Danny Dyer years ago, ya wouldn't figure him for a drug dealer at all he sounds so posh. Great guest all the same. A question for David, did he get ever do business with Howard Mark's, also known as Mr Nice ? And did he ever meet Chopper Reid when in Jakka Jakka ?
Probably ex-special branch.
@@Andy-fr2im I remember that name being mentioned alright, it's been last summer since I last read Mr Nice so I'll have to have another read 😂
They come in all shapes and sizes. All you need is loose morals and a set of balls to go through Thailand with a few keys hidden in shampoo bottles.
@@GVGames1986 he must be fearless if he knew doing that in Thailand could land him a death sentence, hats off to him
jika jika...
Barely scratched the surface. Could probably do a few parts. Another good pod cast 😉👍
I know i shouldn't like these Fellas but i do.I just like listening to the stories.Keep up the good work Shaun.
Ask David to talk more about the Australian criminal experiences that he had. I haven't heard about many such cases. Also see if he can talk about how most of his smuggling went down. There's a huge problem with human smuggling to Australia and they obviously aren't being brought to the water isolated continent by official avenues. Does he know what's likely going on? Are these humans that are being trafficked going through similar experiences to the central and south americans who cross the harsh deserts in the Sourthern United States to get into the USA? Or are they more likely being smuggled into ports and paid off port agents are letting cargo containers with them in through? His insight would be interesting and useful for people who want to see this sort of thing stopped. There's a lot of foreigners brought into countries because they have no connections for help and then the females, are forced into prostitution.
@Samir Al-hafzi Said Mohammad Abou So how do you think they're getting them in? Are they going through cargo routes and corrupt officials are letting them through on ships or in cargo containers? Or are there people like the mexican "coyotes" who maybe sail them to some remote part of the austrailian coastline, let them off and then they have to go through the wastelands to get to the cities? Austrailia has much more natural barriers then the United States which is why this is interesting. If I had to bet I'd say both ways are possibly being used and the cargo routes with corrupt officials are probably the most common just because if they die going the harder route then the pimps and slavers lose money on the sex slaves they bought. It's fucked up for sure.
@Samir Al-hafzi Said Mohammad Abou I thought the customs process was much more rigorous. It sounds worse than Mexico's customs. It would be a laugh if it weren't tragic for those getting trafficked.
his face at 1:56:21... "job done"... I feel bad for laughing but his schtik is very good
What a story, can't wait for the second part. Keep up the good work Shaun, best podcast on youtube.
Amazing podcast this one!!!! Could listen to this guy all day.. so matter of fact and dead pan funny .. top draw!!!
What's the movie called ?
The film about David that Shaun refers to at the beginning of this interview is on TH-cam and is called 'Underbelly: The Man That Got Away' (Just watched it. Pretty bloody good! :)
Your podcasts are class shaun
Definitely buying your books 👌
Party zone is savage. I mostly have to read and study university materials so this stuff is a relaxing break from academia.
Best interview yet..this guy super interesting and great story teller
Love this guy. Has quite the same disconnected view of reality that I do.
Why do you take him as being disconnected from reality??? He has a very matter of fact way about things, but I'm not getting a dissociation vibe from him. (I'm not being funny with you, just interested)
“Why should they get to ruin everyone’s fun” 😂😂 Shaun, you really have the best guests... and you finally let someone with hair on your channel (other than wild ban and “Blink” bank robbery guy) really live your channel. Keep up the good work.
Proper Dealers have their hair still.
Shaun's making eye-contact with his guest!
You're a very good interviewer, Shaun. I appreciate your ability to listen. Enjoyable and interesting.
I bet he charmed his way out of jail, the smooth talking b'stard👌😎
Loving these podcasts. always a good moment seeing new Shaun Attwood video on my front page of youtube!
Great podcast Shaun was good hearing David's perspective on what happened there's always two sides of the story.. My question to David is, if he were 23 today with the restrictions we now have in Australia/the rest of the world, would he have still tried to be an International Smuggler?
Codes braa Good question!
I'm in the USA so I only have Aussie news to go by, but it seems like you all still have serious probs because smugglers are bringing people into the country. How the fuck are they pulling that off with water surrounding you all and no doubt you guys have military or coast guard like the USA patrolling those waters.
@@LegalTyranny Spoken like a true American.
Amazing stories this gentleman has Shaun, had to break out the cheese popcorn on this one!
Who thinks David's still got a foot in the game?
Sucks the weekly chat series is gone, I can imagine why...damnit soozan...at least there's a channel and this to fall back on.
Great podcast shaun I've got a question have you done much raving since your release or have you tried to distance yourself from the scene. I love your work keep it up much love from Australia
Cool thanks for the reply shaun keep on raving
those stories are crazy! thx for sharing Shaun and friends :)
Simply Brilliant!!! Keep up the great work Shawn and team, best you tube Chanel by far
Mate this is the best podcast you have ever done.
Lots of other channels recycle the same people but nobody has had this guy on.
He is a different class/level altogether.
I read his book years ago was very interesting and keeps me on the straight and narrow when travelling to asia no way I want to spend 1 hour in there prisons.
Question for him is if he had his life over again looking at all his years spent in prison would he change thing and live a straight life? Does he have regrets? Was it all worth it really?
Question for both of you is if your comfortable in life have a few properties paid off and a liviable income should you risk it all in the pursuit to better yourself (chase money). For instance im thinking of taking the money out on a 10 year fixed mortgage at 2.7% and pound cost averaging into an index fund am I being an idiot when I could just live a nice life abroad in a cheap country?
Looking at the last bit soon I reckon we would be in negative interest rates anyway
This is a great interview ! He is funny !
Shawn mate, you dnt need to only interview villains. Your personality is good enough for you to go full joe rogan. You can do it
@@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL give it time buddy, Joe rogan didn't become jre overnight. Last time I checked he was at 1200+ podcasts. Think of it as motivation fuel rather than nightmare fuel!
@@shaggyman5811 better to stick to a niche. Crime sells
But, interviewing regular folk is done to death on here whereas there aren't many channels like this and done to the standard Shaun achieves. These people are deleted by society but, they have a story to tell and no real means (for most of them) to get it out there and in a graceful way.
These people have a lot to offer society still and we waste them completely. Just because they have done wrong in their past does not make them bad.
Good people doing bad things, often with the best of intentions or to rise above a system that wants to keep them down.
I would love to talk to Shaun about my life and the characters you meet along the way.
Does anyone else find Joe rogan annoying?
@@Joey177hz Yeah another BALDY TWAT
