One of the best episodes. This is what Into The Hood should be about - cruising around with a local or two, having impromptu yarns along the way and lots of history.
As long as he's not promoting or encouraging delinquency then I'm cool with the rest of it. In his Hobart video I literally saw him stand with a bunch of minors wagging school and make them out to be victims.
Glebe is where the first Domestic violence women's shelter's were opened. They squated in two dilapidated terraces & In the 70's it was really mad. Redfern was mad too, i remember the riots where the actual cops came on horseback & the street opposite Redfern Stn was on fire. Crazy days
I’m from England but i stayed in Glebe for a short time when I was in my early teens as my Dad had emigrated to Australia and I used to visit him….. I had 2 best friends while i was there. Rhett Mackey & Michael Hancock. The 2 names Spanian mentions that are painted on the memorial wall. I only found out a few years ago that they had both passed.

For the viewers: The British pushed out all the Aboriginal people in Sydney and filled it up with people like Spanian.😂 The Birthplace of Sydney’s Crime Culture, comes from the British illegal immigrants. We call it invasion day on Australia day. I remember the Cronulla race riots all poor white kids running a muck like 2024 United Kingdom riots thugs hooligans, poor white trash. Cronulla race riots were all poor Anglo-Celtic white kids and nothing Australian about them. They needed a good flogging from the Aboriginal Army. I was in the Army and we were hoping to get called out because I hate Anglo-Celtic racist people from England in Australia. Anglo-Celtic come from the same lineage. Aboriginal people say that they are more like hyena and jackal people that pray on the weak. I indeed agree. These British are not even born in Australia yet call themselves Australians. And there is nothing Australian about them. There was nothing Australian about the Bee Gees, and AC/DC. I remember in the Army my ADF mates and I called them " Ten Pound Poms.😂

It's so crazy seeing this. Moved out of Glebe last year. I lived across the road from the housing commision where the bloke was shot by police. Lived next to a plastic surgeon on one side, and a housing commision on the other side - real mix of different people. I loved it, every day is different.

It's Monday... 4 days after youre passing into the dreamtime bra, I havent watched this video yet cause its pretty much a movie of you... so when my girls are abit older I'll have a movie night & tell them how special you & Glebe was back in the day as teenagers... I love & miss you bra, life wont be the same without you... you left a legacy bra & helped so many people laugh & smile ❤️
Lived in Glebe for 7 years in my 20s, the craziest thing is the transition into Forest Lodge. Walk down St John’s road, you’ve got council housing and lads everywhere, then all of a sudden you hit Lodge Street and it’s all brand new 3-storey houses with young families.
Exactly what I tell people. I grew up in Mitchell St, Derwent and Westmoreland St. All housing commission. Best time riding my pushie around the area with mates. My parents finally bought a place in the 80’s down near Glebe Pt for close to $180k. It’s now worth close to $2m.
It's obviously rough, but it looks like the kinda place where you at least have memories and know the neighbours. People don't realise how lucky they are to grow up in the same place
i've lived in glebe for 4 years and ive never had an issue.. i even walked to and from the gym anytime between 1-3am before i put one in my garage glebe is pretty chill these days
I can hands down say that this lad has absolutely nailed this style of content. I can totally relate to him and its refreshing to watch. Great job lad, take care. All the best from London UK
Ya get the young blokes now saying, “back in the day “, but in actual fact, back in the day, was 30-40 years ago really. That’s what the old girl was meaning, not fucken 10 years ago.
I lived in Glebe for 3 years and had barely any inkling that it was a hood. It was only after I left that I started to hear stories about the crime. Crazy how different life can be on different blocks of a small suburb.
@@chubletfletcher1462??? You ever been there mate? It’s one street with rich people across the road a street with poor people. I grew up around there. Nothing is overhyped. 15 years ago it was dangerous to walk down some streets alone. Still is but less.
@@goober479 i've been there, 20 years ago , didn't see anything dangerous, but i just imigrated from russia, so that is why it looked quiet for me , that huge building i was gonna rent a flat there
@@chubletfletcher1462 We lived in Bulwara Road Ultimo. Went to Ibrox Park, left school at 14 and10 months worked as a barrow boy in the Haymarket and the wool stores removing dags from fleeces. The hard men in the day were blokes like Doogsa Davis. The videos are interesting but so much jail time tells you everything, deadset losers. Couldn't work out to go interstate until the heat off.
Respect to your father in law ,my dad had nothing as a kid but is still head coach of our local boxing club at 77 been coach for over 50 years ,he gives everything mountains of charity work he breathes it✌️
Glebe being the centre Sydney Crime Culture goes back to the 1920s with the establishment of Bidura Court and Remand Centre and local Government Housing historically for released prisoners
@@bdouble69 Before that though the Church ran the 'Glebe Estate' reserved for poor people many of whom were living in makeshift hpusing down near the waterside in Wentworth Park near the Fishmarkets, I think the Church still may own them but has rented the properties to the State on a hunfldred year leasee, also from memory the old heritage building at Bidura is the house that architect Edmund Blackett designed for himself Blackett being the guy who designed many of the old buoldimgs in Sydney especially Churches including those in Glebe, Newtown etc
when I watch your hood walks you’ll sometimes bump in to someone on the off chance and that person hits my heart for some reason…in this episode, so far, it was Jimbo. We all have a story, I can tell he has lived through a lot since his childhood, and he just seems to have a no filter/transparent honesty at the core of his heart. I hope he only ever crosses paths with those who heal his heart and mind! I’m glad he ran in to you guys, I feel like you guys reassured him that he can now relax and chill, because he would have probably waited there or done his head in that he might look weak for eventually going back home. 🙏
Uh, I've lived in a terrace house in Glebe for the past 4 years and the worst crime I've seen here is someone throwing a plastic bottle of sparkling water at the 370 bus. Glebe is way too bougie now.
There’s still a few streets with issues if you know where to go but most crime only the housing residents will see, it’s kept under wraps. 15 years ago there were streets you couldn’t walk down lest you got bashed or at the very least heckled. It might be a rich place now but like Balmain you can see it’s roots if you know where to go. Also typical only the working class housos experience the crime…
A lot of memories of the old Glebe Estate - used to be owned by the Anglican Church. Glebe means ‘church land’. Was taken over by the Housing Department. We used to come down from the country and stay in the church houses 84 to 106 Glebe Point Rd, with the back lane that you walked down. Had no murals back then, but they look great
Yo Spanian, that's me and my tour guests in the background around 10:50. And they are all international students now living in Sydney, I was teaching them about the history of Glebe. We reckon it's pretty important for new residents of Sydney to learn about places like Glebe, don't you agree?
It'll help em learn to avoid getting jumped by Ice Head's! 😂 but jokes aside it's good to teach people about the important historical information of where they now live. Good on you mate
I used to run the netGamer shop on Glebe Point Road between 2000 and 2004 - Red used to come in and play Counter-Strike in my shop all the time, always wondered if Spanian ever came into my shop in that time.
The problem is the crime in Glebe is a deliberate result of housing policies. Housing deliberately put people they know are chaotic in these houses in Glebe. All the drug users, mental health and just released from prison people and expect the community to absorb this. The reason it is getting bad again is they are doing this again after a period of quiet. The people exercising these policies know full well these people will run the houses down, get locked up again, not cope with the responsibility of caring for themselves and simply give the area a bad reputation with their behaviours. So the houses get trashed, boarded up and sold off to investors.
What always strikes me is the houso’s have all been there for the whole of their life. Have never sought to improve their situation and complain about what’s NOT being done FOR THEM.
I went to primary school with Michael Hancock at Forest Lodge Public School and always wondered how he died, strange to finally know from a little off hand clip in your video which just snuck in to the final edit. Glad you did the Glebe one randomly and got the natural organic style of video going. Glebe is a special suburb, it has a unique vibe few other suburbs in all of Australia have, crime and all.
Michael is my cousin ❤ my aunty (michaels mum) is still an OG in Glebe! It's so touching to see how many people still remember Michael in the Glebe community all these years later. Rip my cuz!
Yeah brother, Been living here in Glebe 35 years. Love this area, seen some hectic boys here, but they also looked out for everyone. Seen all the changes.
Been waiting for this one being a Glebe boy. Top work Spanian. Those first houses around the 6 minute mark are actually Pyrmont. Glebe doesn’t start till you get to Wentworth Park
First time subscriber from Texas. Fam, I love the stories, the history...I WILL be watching every video in your catalog no matter how old it is. Glebe feels like home.
@@equinox974yeah that’s true, there’s a much higher concentration of (violent) crime in a small area in those estates. But there’s something about those massive suburbs in Australia (like in Spanians other videos, this one less so) which seems so otherworldly, you don’t really get those in the UK afaik. It reminds me of those big hoods/projects in America like bronx, NY or the ones in Atlanta or Chicago…, then again those are also probably much worse… But I’m no expert 😅
My sister lives in sydney and is from England . She does a running route and it goes the housing estates She said they are way chilled in comparison to back home. Nobody causing trouble.
It is it is but it’s all bulshit that’s all If you believe there’s hoods in Australia you need a chin check . As much as the arabs want to make Sydney Chicago it ain’t happening HAHAHA
I'm from Albury and I remember I was about 14 and a Sydney lad couple years older was hanging with one of the older boys and it was the biggest culture shock, we were dressing like 'cholos' baggy Dickie shorts, DC shoes and unit t-shirts and here's this fella with air max shoes and Canterbury's and crazy lingo that none of us could interpret but here we are over 10 years later and everyone dresses and talks like that....fkn blows my mind how influential Sydney has been on the culture

7 eleven oh my days, we had that back in the day in uk. Rah I'm so glad I was born in 79,. Its the same globally, knocking down council houses to build for the rich, libraries disappearing. we used to have this youth club and there was music, table tennis, activities, you could just chill. Kept us off the streets , man I do miss the days when everyone knew their neighbour's and u helped one another. Another gr8 vlog, fuk the negativity...do ur ting boi. Keep making those waves 4 change 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💯💥💫
As a 28 year proud veteran of Glebe 2037 and former resident of Bellevue Street, I can say that this video brings up a lot of memories of the late 80's, 90's and 00's. It was a rough then. Mitchell Street, Westmoreland Street, Mt Vernon, Derwent Street, house break-ins & house fires. My first childhood experience of indigenous Australians was very bad.
I was born and raised in Waterloo and marrickville and I can admit alot can be made in between the 2 areas good to see u don't forget where u started lad good on ya spanian much love ❤ keep it up brother ur an inspiration and boys can learn alot from someone like you bro..
Yeah Spanian walked past mine at the start in Ultimo and the median price is 2-3 million. To bad it's falling apart. I can't complete living right next to the city
I used to live in Glebe on Bridge St, back in the early 00's. Didn't see any crime and i used to walk to work at 3am. My mate lived in Ricketts Lane and never had a problem. He used to be Glebe Point Diners #1 customer!
I grew up around Westmoreland St in the fun times mentioned (1994 - 2005). We used to fly down and pull no-look handbrakeys onto Johns street and time our laps. shit was crazy. The police station was 50 metres up the road but nobody really cared. There were some pretty wild backyard parties too. Lucky and thankful to have gotten out of there alive tbh. This brought back both great and horrible memories!
All the Glebe public housing must be removed and the land should be used to build private housing/tall building if you like. So many free loaders in Australia, my gosh👎
Love this video. Good to see the local elders coming to have a atchay. Spent some wild times down around the inner city. Mad 100%. Nearly 52 now but love this bruz. Keep up the good work.
Im from Manchester England a little older than Spainian from the same background drugs , jail and to see how similar some of the suburbs in Sydney are to ones in Manchester new money coming in young professionals pubs,cafes its just the same this is one of the best videos of his ive seen loved it and to hear whats happened to Dunka sad very sad Rip ❤
It’s crazy watching these videos and how my life could have been. My grand parents immigrated from England and settled in St Mary’s. My dad lived there until my grandfather died and later moved to Ermington. Mum was raised in Mount Druitt. Was raised in a violent home with a single mother, she left the home and left Mount Druitt at 16 to get away from her. Met my Dad, he joined the Army at 17 and retired as a Warrant Officer Class one. If Dad didn’t go into the army and was constantly moving around Australia for work I wonder if I would have lived in these areas and lived a life of crime.
Dont worry bro australlia isnt dangerous at all, tgeres way more chance ud of been at danger if your family stayed in england for sure especially if they were from one of the main cities
You’re a good guy Anthony, and I respect how you’ve turned your life around my brother. I also respect the time you gave me when I saw you one day in Sydney too, as we went to primary school together and I called out to you. You could’ve ignored me but you gave me your time and attention. For that I’m forever grateful bro. But one comment (not intended as a criticism) is, to advise these kids coming up to stay away from trouble, thieving, assaults, drugs, etcetera. I see in this video little excerpts of kids running a muck in Glebe and you talking about it but it seems to end there. It doesn’t extend to anything like, for example, “this ain’t right my youngens, there’s only one route for you if you head down this path, and it ain’t a good one!” I know you say you’d never tell people not to do what you’d do because it would be hypocritical, in a sense. But you’ve got an extremely popular platform and highly listened to voice. If these kids are going to listen to anyone, it’s going to be you my bro. The impact that such advice would have would be extremely significant, and for the better of society. As a fellow Christian, if I/you could even save one soul out of these masses of kids coming up, that would make a world of difference, for them, us and the society in general. Stay blessed bro, and my God work through you my brother!

The best people are in areas like this, I grew up in Inala in Queensland and I’ve got lifelong friends I grew up with. Always hold the friends you grow up with near and dear to your heart.
@spanian you probably went to high school with my brothers, I was young but I remember when Rhett and Michael passed.. Glebe has changed so much in 24 years
Thanks for sharing the not so well known side of the city I am living in. Definitely gives me the insight of culture and stories that I never knew about.
I used to have an office in Glebe. Spent lots of time at the Friend in Hand but it was more colloquially known as the Fist in Face. Great food at No Names. The pub was a sort of DMZ for cops and crims which, ironically, made it a very safe place to have a drink and a feed. Good times
Spanian! Melts my heart you mentioned the older syd boys . My step father was from bankstown . They were all bank robbers .. best man I ever knew .. much respect

@@useruseruseruseruser790 I think there are some pockets that are rough but not like it was the 60s 70s and eighties. But it is small scale petty crime.
@@theodoreconstantini2548 Yes it is like that now, and in the 90’s rougher with much more petty crime. But for people to say it set the tone and everyone took their lead for crime across the country is a bit of a stretch.
@@useruseruseruseruser790 Well it is . He is trying to sell an image talk things up as if it was some type of "gangster hood". But things were very different here in Australia to the US in the eighties and nineties when gang culture took off. Australia has never really had that type of gang culture until they started to import it from the USA and copy those trends. And even now Australian gang culture is much smaller than the US.

I can totally relate to him and its refreshing to watch.
Great job lad, take care.
All the best from London UK
Ya get the young blokes now saying, “back in the day “, but in actual fact, back in the day, was 30-40 years ago really. That’s what the old girl was meaning, not fucken 10 years ago.

True

One of the realest statements iv ever heard, "i know that sounds wierd to you, but thats because you lived your life"
I lived in Glebe for 3 years and had barely any inkling that it was a hood. It was only after I left that I started to hear stories about the crime. Crazy how different life can be on different blocks of a small suburb.
its just because people overhype things for attention
@@chubletfletcher1462??? You ever been there mate? It’s one street with rich people across the road a street with poor people. I grew up around there. Nothing is overhyped. 15 years ago it was dangerous to walk down some streets alone. Still is but less.
Glebe was very bad, and although it isn't what it used to be, it still can be dangerous, highly respected area @@chubletfletcher1462
@@goober479 i've been there, 20 years ago , didn't see anything dangerous, but i just imigrated from russia, so that is why it looked quiet for me , that huge building i was gonna rent a flat there
@@chubletfletcher1462 We lived in Bulwara Road Ultimo. Went to Ibrox Park, left school at 14 and10 months worked as a barrow boy in the Haymarket and the wool stores removing dags from fleeces. The hard men in the day were blokes like Doogsa Davis. The videos are interesting but so much jail time tells you everything, deadset losers. Couldn't work out to go interstate until the heat off.
Respect to your father in law ,my dad had nothing as a kid but is still head coach of our local boxing club at 77 been coach for over 50 years ,he gives everything mountains of charity work he breathes it✌️
Glebe being the centre Sydney Crime Culture goes back to the 1920s with the establishment of Bidura Court and Remand Centre and local Government Housing historically for released prisoners
What is now government housing was in those 1920s owned by the Church of England. Only became Housing Commission in the late 70s.
@@bdouble69 Before that though the Church ran the 'Glebe Estate' reserved for poor people many of whom were living in makeshift hpusing down near the waterside in Wentworth Park near the Fishmarkets, I think the Church still may own them but has rented the properties to the State on a hunfldred year leasee, also from memory the old heritage building at Bidura is the house that architect Edmund Blackett designed for himself Blackett being the guy who designed many of the old buoldimgs in Sydney especially Churches including those in Glebe, Newtown etc
@@justinarnold7725 nah the Church of England sold em to the government in the 70s. I lived there then we moved when the housos moved in.
@@justinarnold7725yeah I lived in Woolloomooloo and our building on Dowling St was a 99yr lease to the government
I mean , at least the kids in Glebe are playing outside.
brah was legit just thinking whens spanian gonna upload again another banger lad!
when I watch your hood walks you’ll sometimes bump in to someone on the off chance and that person hits my heart for some reason…in this episode, so far, it was Jimbo. We all have a story, I can tell he has lived through a lot since his childhood, and he just seems to have a no filter/transparent honesty at the core of his heart. I hope he only ever crosses paths with those who heal his heart and mind! I’m glad he ran in to you guys, I feel like you guys reassured him that he can now relax and chill, because he would have probably waited there or done his head in that he might look weak for eventually going back home. 🙏
Jimbos lad, the digital dodger!!!
Uh, I've lived in a terrace house in Glebe for the past 4 years and the worst crime I've seen here is someone throwing a plastic bottle of sparkling water at the 370 bus. Glebe is way too bougie now.
Glebe about 15 yrs ago there was more cops then criminals
That’s why they are talking about late 90’s early 2000’s you pole smoker. Not 4 years ago 😂
@@chillinglikeavillian1000 nah the real shit happens out west
Oi leave that 370 alone cunt I use to catch that all the time. Or the 470 to Lilyfield
There’s still a few streets with issues if you know where to go but most crime only the housing residents will see, it’s kept under wraps. 15 years ago there were streets you couldn’t walk down lest you got bashed or at the very least heckled. It might be a rich place now but like Balmain you can see it’s roots if you know where to go.
Also typical only the working class housos experience the crime…
Can you go back and interview her on how the area has changed over the years and capture her stories. It would make a beautiful time capsule
I rekon what your lookin for was all edited out for at least 10 different reasons 😅
You like old meat ?
@@tw5977lol facts, thats exactly what i was thinking 😂
A lot of memories of the old Glebe Estate - used to be owned by the Anglican Church. Glebe means ‘church land’. Was taken over by the Housing Department. We used to come down from the country and stay in the church houses 84 to 106 Glebe Point Rd, with the back lane that you walked down. Had no murals back then, but they look great
From east coast America, we with you Span ❤️ much love one planet one love
THIS LADY NEEDS HER OWN SHOW
Love the woman you interviewed. Insane that she's 79, she looks badass with the purple hair, the nose ring, and the cigarette, more power to her!
"Sigarets" kill 😂 Sigaret sounds like a Mortal Kombat character's name! "Sigaret wins, flawless victory Fatality"
The intro with the drone footage of the area hes about to walk thru and Spanians voice over is such a sick intro! always mad hearing it
grandma spittin some heavy facts
R.I.P Humdinger Lad Gone Way Too Soon! 🙌🕊️❤️ Condolences To The Family During This Sad Time Much Love 🙏❤️
Yo Spanian, that's me and my tour guests in the background around 10:50. And they are all international students now living in Sydney, I was teaching them about the history of Glebe. We reckon it's pretty important for new residents of Sydney to learn about places like Glebe, don't you agree?
It'll help em learn to avoid getting jumped by Ice Head's! 😂 but jokes aside it's good to teach people about the important historical information of where they now live. Good on you mate
No
I love the fact that you’re slowing down time Spanian. Going back while time speeds ahead.
I used to run the netGamer shop on Glebe Point Road between 2000 and 2004 - Red used to come in and play Counter-Strike in my shop all the time, always wondered if Spanian ever came into my shop in that time.
loved that shop, me and mates would come in after school and play battlefield after going to Broadway
@@asperjay right on! In those days my gamer tag was "Aeon", I had the red R33
I was a regular at NetGamer in 2001/2, came in every Saturday for the 5 hour for ($10?) special to play counter strike.
@@newdays0 yup! it was normally $3 per hour or 5 hours for $10. Man what can you get for that money these days?
Agreed. Thanks for your service
That old lady rocked it. True survivor and amazing personality
even though I have never had experience with any of his lifestyle choices ....I still really enjoy learning about the hood life in these series.
The problem is the crime in Glebe is a deliberate result of housing policies. Housing deliberately put people they know are chaotic in these houses in Glebe. All the drug users, mental health and just released from prison people and expect the community to absorb this. The reason it is getting bad again is they are doing this again after a period of quiet. The people exercising these policies know full well these people will run the houses down, get locked up again, not cope with the responsibility of caring for themselves and simply give the area a bad reputation with their behaviours. So the houses get trashed, boarded up and sold off to investors.
Or... Glebe is the only place accepting this demographic category you speak of..
Your absolutely right.
Hence the new police box outside the school.
Fuark 1 hour long banger at dinner time, lets fucking go lad
Love it ay lol
won't lie, I had my dinner watching this too
TGB reppin
Hood oos illchay lad let's oggg
What always strikes me is the houso’s have all been there for the whole of their life. Have never sought to improve their situation and complain about what’s NOT being done FOR THEM.
Plenty did.
My favourite part of the video was when Spanian said let’s og and started oging everywhere! 😂❤
#1 comment 🏆😂
Let's ogg!
i just ogged all over my screen 😩😩
@@thomas-wiki this comment made me og on my belly.. eww
@@YaMumWasHere go ogg to the sink
That was so effing good! Super nostalgic ✨ been living in the area since 1991 you did it justice 😊 blessings to your success guys
49:27 it’s amazing how small of a world it is the kid is in your son’s footy team fucking brilliant
I went to primary school with Michael Hancock at Forest Lodge Public School and always wondered how he died, strange to finally know from a little off hand clip in your video which just snuck in to the final edit. Glad you did the Glebe one randomly and got the natural organic style of video going. Glebe is a special suburb, it has a unique vibe few other suburbs in all of Australia have, crime and all.
So did I, we were mates. He was one grade above me. heard on the grapevine how he died.
Michael's mum gets supset sometimes when hearing posts but she's still around Glebe bless her. R.I.P Michael & Rhett
Michael is my cousin ❤ my aunty (michaels mum) is still an OG in Glebe! It's so touching to see how many people still remember Michael in the Glebe community all these years later. Rip my cuz!
Yeah brother, Been living here in Glebe 35 years. Love this area, seen some hectic boys here, but they also looked out for everyone. Seen all the changes.
Been waiting for this one being a Glebe boy. Top work Spanian. Those first houses around the 6 minute mark are actually Pyrmont. Glebe doesn’t start till you get to Wentworth Park
They're actually Ultimo
@@ChiralityPracticality haha you are right. I have a mate living in Jones St, you’d think I would know. Cut me some slack I’m getting old
Loved this spanian. The street art is unreal 😍 so beautiful. Every city should have it. So bright and eye-catching. Look forward to your next stop 😊
First time subscriber from Texas. Fam, I love the stories, the history...I WILL be watching every video in your catalog no matter how old it is. Glebe feels like home.
As a middle class kid from London outskirts your videos are so eye opening… keep uncovering the truth and spreading positivity mate ❤
The estates in London are way worst than anywhere in Australia.
@@equinox974yeah that’s true, there’s a much higher concentration of (violent) crime in a small area in those estates. But there’s something about those massive suburbs in Australia (like in Spanians other videos, this one less so) which seems so otherworldly, you don’t really get those in the UK afaik. It reminds me of those big hoods/projects in America like bronx, NY or the ones in Atlanta or Chicago…, then again those are also probably much worse… But I’m no expert 😅
My sister lives in sydney and is from England . She does a running route and it goes the housing estates She said they are way chilled in comparison to back home. Nobody causing trouble.
what the lady with the purple hair said, about the perpetrators case being heard over the victims is so true...Frank from West Syd
It’s the same in SA . System is a joke
best thing to watch while eating and chilling
Facts brother
It is it is but it’s all bulshit that’s all
If you believe there’s hoods in Australia you need a chin check .
As much as the arabs want to make Sydney Chicago it ain’t happening HAHAHA
Doing just that haha
Yes !
I'm from Albury and I remember I was about 14 and a Sydney lad couple years older was hanging with one of the older boys and it was the biggest culture shock, we were dressing like 'cholos' baggy Dickie shorts, DC shoes and unit t-shirts and here's this fella with air max shoes and Canterbury's and crazy lingo that none of us could interpret but here we are over 10 years later and everyone dresses and talks like that....fkn blows my mind how influential Sydney has been on the culture
For the viewers: The British pushed out all the Aboriginal people in Sydney and filled it up with people like Spanian.
The Birthplace of Sydney’s Crime Culture, comes from the British illegal immigrants. We call it invasion day on Australia day.
I remember the Cronulla race riots all poor white kids running a muck like 2024 United Kingdom riots thugs hooligans, poor white trash.
Cronulla race riots were all poor Anglo-Celtic white kids and nothing Australian about them. They needed a good flogging from the Aboriginal Army.
I was in the Army and we were hoping to get called out because I hate Anglo-Celtic racist people from England in Australia. Anglo-Celtic come from the same lineage. Aboriginal people say that they are more like hyena and jackal people that pray on the weak. I indeed agree. These British are not even born in Australia yet call themselves Australians. And there is nothing Australian about them. There was nothing Australian about the Bee Gees, and AC/DC. I remember in the Army my ADF mates and I called them " Ten Pound Poms.😂
25:17 Just the way that dude talked sounded like the hardest bars bro
The townhouses are Victorian Terraces and are common in and around Sydney and Newcastle cities.
7 eleven oh my days, we had that back in the day in uk. Rah I'm so glad I was born in 79,. Its the same globally, knocking down council houses to build for the rich, libraries disappearing. we used to have this youth club and there was music, table tennis, activities, you could just chill. Kept us off the streets , man I do miss the days when everyone knew their neighbour's and u helped one another. Another gr8 vlog, fuk the negativity...do ur ting boi. Keep making those waves 4 change 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💯💥💫
As a 28 year proud veteran of Glebe 2037 and former resident of Bellevue Street, I can say that this video brings up a lot of memories of the late 80's, 90's and 00's. It was a rough then. Mitchell Street, Westmoreland Street, Mt Vernon, Derwent Street, house break-ins & house fires. My first childhood experience of indigenous Australians was very bad.
I lived in Woolloomooloo all the way through the 80's and 90's then Glebe till now, and it still is! I'm a Koori so I'm not biased
Womp womp
I was born and raised in Waterloo and marrickville and I can admit alot can be made in between the 2 areas good to see u don't forget where u started lad good on ya spanian much love ❤ keep it up brother ur an inspiration and boys can learn alot from someone like you bro..
Median price for a house in Glebe now is close to $3M AUD
Yeah Spanian walked past mine at the start in Ultimo and the median price is 2-3 million. To bad it's falling apart. I can't complete living right next to the city
That's why they want the land.....
Imagine how much more social housing they can build outside the city if they sell this land.
@@BSenta yeah and then winge on a current affair when certain tenants don't upkeep the premises
Sthu@@davemustaki134
I used to live in Glebe on Bridge St, back in the early 00's. Didn't see any crime and i used to walk to work at 3am.
My mate lived in Ricketts Lane and never had a problem. He used to be Glebe Point Diners #1 customer!
In the 90s it was different
I grew up around Westmoreland St in the fun times mentioned (1994 - 2005). We used to fly down and pull no-look handbrakeys onto Johns street and time our laps. shit was crazy. The police station was 50 metres up the road but nobody really cared. There were some pretty wild backyard parties too. Lucky and thankful to have gotten out of there alive tbh. This brought back both great and horrible memories!
This is mint! Love it when ya joking laughing with ya mates! Keep em coming mate
All the Glebe public housing must be removed and the land should be used to build private housing/tall building if you like. So many free loaders in Australia, my gosh👎
Absolute belter episode, best of the best into the hood.
You’re the best. Fav TH-camr. I binge watch you
She is so with it for 79 wtf
Love this video. Good to see the local elders coming to have a atchay. Spent some wild times down around the inner city. Mad 100%. Nearly 52 now but love this bruz. Keep up the good work.
Im from Manchester England a little older than Spainian from the same background drugs , jail and to see how similar some of the suburbs in Sydney are to ones in Manchester new money coming in young professionals pubs,cafes its just the same this is one of the best videos of his ive seen loved it and to hear whats happened to Dunka sad very sad Rip ❤
It’s crazy watching these videos and how my life could have been. My grand parents immigrated from England and settled in St Mary’s. My dad lived there until my grandfather died and later moved to Ermington. Mum was raised in Mount Druitt. Was raised in a violent home with a single mother, she left the home and left Mount Druitt at 16 to get away from her. Met my Dad, he joined the Army at 17 and retired as a Warrant Officer Class one. If Dad didn’t go into the army and was constantly moving around Australia for work I wonder if I would have lived in these areas and lived a life of crime.
I wonder if my Aunty had knackers would she be my uncle?
Dont worry bro australlia isnt dangerous at all, tgeres way more chance ud of been at danger if your family stayed in england for sure especially if they were from one of the main cities
Grew up in mount Druitt mate absolute breeze never had an issue
love this dudes content big love form Austin tx
You’re a good guy Anthony, and I respect how you’ve turned your life around my brother. I also respect the time you gave me when I saw you one day in Sydney too, as we went to primary school together and I called out to you. You could’ve ignored me but you gave me your time and attention. For that I’m forever grateful bro. But one comment (not intended as a criticism) is, to advise these kids coming up to stay away from trouble, thieving, assaults, drugs, etcetera. I see in this video little excerpts of kids running a muck in Glebe and you talking about it but it seems to end there. It doesn’t extend to anything like, for example, “this ain’t right my youngens, there’s only one route for you if you head down this path, and it ain’t a good one!”
I know you say you’d never tell people not to do what you’d do because it would be hypocritical, in a sense. But you’ve got an extremely popular platform and highly listened to voice. If these kids are going to listen to anyone, it’s going to be you my bro.
The impact that such advice would have would be extremely significant, and for the better of society.
As a fellow Christian, if I/you could even save one soul out of these masses of kids coming up, that would make a world of difference, for them, us and the society in general.
Stay blessed bro, and my God work through you my brother!

THANK YOU SPANIAN for covering Glebe 🙏
It was all fun and games until I heard John McColl had passed away. Such a gentleman.
The best people are in areas like this, I grew up in Inala in Queensland and I’ve got lifelong friends I grew up with. Always hold the friends you grow up with near and dear to your heart.
@spanian you probably went to high school with my brothers, I was young but I remember when Rhett and Michael passed..
Glebe has changed so much in 24 years
Thanks for sharing the not so well known side of the city I am living in.
Definitely gives me the insight of culture and stories that I never knew about.
RIP cousin dunka. . Sending my love to my aunty, your brothers and sisters ❤️ love you all cuz. May you rest brother 🦋
This was insane , another awesome upload, never fails to show how things really are
I used to have an office in Glebe. Spent lots of time at the Friend in Hand but it was more colloquially known as the Fist in Face. Great food at No Names. The pub was a sort of DMZ for cops and crims which, ironically, made it a very safe place to have a drink and a feed. Good times
Love it had the same thing in Melbourne,have an open mind and it makes your life happier ❤😂
Great episode! The history of the area & community vibe needs to be preserved.
I’d love to see a Maroubra and surrounding areas into the hood. Enjoy your stuff Spanian 💪🏽
Spanian, New sub here. I’m convinced that your IQ is off the charts! You’re insightful, well-spoken and entertaining! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can you create a new series called "Into the Wood" where you either go camping or just visit places with a lot of natural beauty?
Spanian! Melts my heart you mentioned the older syd boys . My step father was from bankstown . They were all bank robbers .. best man I ever knew .. much respect

It wasn’t. These guys are clowns.
@@useruseruseruseruser790 I think there are some pockets that are rough but not like it was the 60s 70s and eighties. But it is small scale petty crime.
@@theodoreconstantini2548 Yes it is like that now, and in the 90’s rougher with much more petty crime. But for people to say it set the tone and everyone took their lead for crime across the country is a bit of a stretch.
@@useruseruseruseruser790 Well it is . He is trying to sell an image talk things up as if it was some type of "gangster hood". But things were very different here in Australia to the US in the eighties and nineties when gang culture took off. Australia has never really had that type of gang culture until they started to import it from the USA and copy those trends. And even now Australian gang culture is much smaller than the US.
