Thats sad man god bless the brother

You can see how genuinely moved Spanian is when Russel talks about his low points or some of the horrible things that happened to him. Unbelievable that someone can go through all this and still come out on the other side - not just normal, but as a success - he must be an incredibly strong-minded human. Mind blowing.

Proof he's not a genuine psycho

Well spoken and articulated, you can see the old bloke still has his pride & his stories, but isn't afraid to share his vulnerable moments, fears and trauma. It's clear he wants to help others so they can have a better run of things than him. Thank you for sharing Russell and another great segment Spanian. Cheers.

Understanding the power of vulnerability is a major theme of this series and what makes it palpable is that its not presented in the way that dodgy new age self-help grifters do by scamming people out of money with some scheme, workshop or 10 part course. Its truly genuine.

Mate, this bloke is a very strong minded fella. Bloody legend, take note people this is a real man who has self reflection, owned his own shit all the way. And has done the hardest thing ever possible, he has faced himself. I have nothing but respect for you brother. A man who can do this is real and present. God bless you and your family 😊bloody inspirational 😊👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I’ve watched a few of russel Mansers interviews stories..he’s a top bloke with an awsome story..I think he’s a legend for turning it all around and basically being a straight goer..so glad Spanian got him in for a yarn..good stuff!

Very respectful and a gentleman mate I actually done time with Russel up here in Qld,went through similar stuff and love everything about what he's doing for everyone and himself.

This is so disturbing, why has all of this been hidden. So fucking cruel. You commit a crime, and do the time, but in no way did you deserve any of this 💔 thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏻

It’s been happening for years belle since the stolen generations ( aboriginals) the government have been part and still part of the child sex ring before Australia was even made. Why it’s not big news it’s the norm for the elites. That’s why spanian is the man and will never be allowed on mainstream tv for his shows because it’s controlled by our government. These are stories Australia need to hear to save our youth.

I met Russ a few weeks ago on the Gold Coast. After a chat we established he knew my best mate, Craig, who is no longer with us. Russ was there for him during the tough times. Russ is a passionate and humble bloke. Kudos brother 🙏 RIP Craig 💙

You two seriously had me in tears... So many of the people I loved who were taken from me had hearts like lions but went through hell in this system... You guys remind me of them so much... Go out there and keep changing the world on fuck up at a time.... You boys will change so many people's lives and neither of you know how bloody special you are!!! Awesome interview, keep speaking your truths to the world... I can't wait to hear and see where you both go from here... You two working together to walk in the front doors of those hell holes and bring hope to people again honestly brings tears to my eyes... My friends and loved ones couldn't be saved but maybe just maybe with you guys standing up and turning your pain and fuck ups into power so many other people's loved ones can!!!

The genuine respect you both have for eachothers work was heartfelt. You could tell russell looks upto you as much as you look upto him, It was awesome to see the acknowledgement of two old hard heads, coming together and spreading positivity after spending the majority of their life in the pits. Awesome interview. 👌

Great content ! Just started tracking with you. There aren't any coincidences in life. Both of your stories are incredibly inspirational. What I have gleaned from both of your stories is that universal appeal of the indomitable human spirit , ( for better or worse) the power of transformation and the desire to inspire others with Hope . Your courage to share your true experiences with honesty the difficult gut Wrenching failures. The challenge is to accept with humility ,accomplishment and to trust that we re deserving and to not self sabotage . Honesty , open-mindedness and to be willing to help others without judgment. I m a 62 year old slowly recovering vet from America and I ve just binge watched quite a few off your vids and this one blew me away. Thanks so much brothers . God bless and congratulations on your success. Prayers for you both on continuing your trajectory. I m ordering your books for sure. More will be revealed .

That was so captivating man, had me listening to every word. You guys are amazing to be able to bounce back from the depths of hell and to still be standing here a better man!

Rest in peace Russ. Legend of a bloke mate condolence to your family see ya round the bend bruz

Wow I can relate to alot of this , but never really shared the horrible shit I went through in the Queensland corrections system. I would love to be able to speak to u Russell about maybe mentoring me to get over my demons

This was such an interesting interview, I loved listening to Russell’s life story, I wish him all the best for the future, he is doing such an excellent job helping people, good on him

Done a few months with Russell in rehab in like 2017 I think, top bloke, man has the gift of the gab

Best guest so far story was unreal Keep it up spanian 💪

Not often i say ppl are great interviewers but spanian stays fully engaged and asks a question at the perfect time when i was thinking what? And he then makes it clearer. Awesome story and sad what he went through as a kid, glad he got some redemption in the end.

2 of my favourites, I can’t believe I’m only seeing this now. As I’ve followed both for ages. Great interview ❤

These two are living proof that we can do anything with our life no matter our back stories or circumstances 💯🙏 there's always hope

Russ showed us no matter how hard life gets, you have a choice to get up every morning and have a crack. He will be missed by so many.

With ending it all, that is so true, give ya'self 24hrs and see how things go. I've been through that a few times myself, and it fucken works, tomorrow is a new day, even if it's the day after that, give yourself that time and it will change everything. I'm still here and I'm much better for it. RIP Russell

Thank you Spanian for introducing this man to myself and the wider community 🙏🏽❤️

Tears, anger, remorse and hope! You blokes are amazing, thank you ❤

One of your best yet Span...this shit needs to be known called out & systematically dismantled all the way up! Have many mates still suffering repercussions of same shit happened in Melb Juvies from 70's and 80's... their payouts were bullshit too (not that any amount of money could lessen the PTSD etc) almost like insult after injury. Mad Podcast much appreciated! Keep Up the great work!

Just ordered the book, I hope that it does well and the proceeds help Russell to stay empowered. You two are exactly the right kind of blokes to help cure our society of this sickness we have where we seem hell bent on victimising abused children.

Awesome upload and kudos to you both for being as you both say civilians now you both have led a very traumatic life and here you both are kicking ass and loving life can relate but not to your detriment but feel the vine from you both 💯👊🏼❤️😎 keep kicking it n rolling on 💯

I really enjoyed this, great story teller.

Mad respect to this bloke that is a real man that can stand up and talk about such a dark past and to be helping others mad respect and you spanion bringing awareness keep it up lads

Great interview again Spanian.

What a story!!! Thank you...

MY FAVOURITE PART OF EVERY WEEK, THE NEW SPANIAN BABBBBYYYYYY

One of the best interviews I've seen. 100.

There is many of Australians that go through a path that isn't recognised as being legal or the right thing to do deep down as we all do the wrong thing we do know it is wrong but not necessarily feel that it is right you guys I doing a magnificent job by helping people male and female who has gone down the wrong path it takes a big man to put his hands up and admitted wrong it takes a bigger man to help that man through and to speak out for him you guys are doing a great job I do hope these words of come out correct keep up the good work hearing about what you did for the indigenous people in a simple thing bashing that bloke who spilt the liquid on the Elder I've always had a soft spot for Australian indigenous and what you did say beautiful thing you guys please take care keep up the good work and I do thank you very much

Sorry he was sexually abused...in Detention ..what was wrong with his Upbringing..that he kept doing Crime and then going back inside to be abused again ?

This one of a the most honest interviews. Too deadly bra.

The amount of men I have come across in my line of work that have been sexually abused is depressing. They are walking around as if they have an exposed tooth nerve, the government should make all therapy free for these men to help them so they can heal. I feel so much anger

That was an engaging, poignant, real and intense conversation. You fellas didn’t skip a beat. Massive respect.

Hey Spanian! You should interview Duncan Burns. He's an ex bikie that got shot and died. Came back, reformed his life and is working toward gang programs and alternative initiation for boys. How can I get you two connected?

Holy shit that that right there is why I I love your podcast ..That made feel sad angry and happy at the same time ...So proud of both you both stay strong brothers 🤜🤛

This channel is 🔥 just found it the other day UFO's to prison great diversity of subjects! Boston Massachusetts.

North Sydney courts had the criminals getting unloaded from the prison transport trucks in a lil lane behind the courts so you had to walk around two corners to get to the front of the courts. I made handcuff keys for plenty of people. Mainly for long trips so they could relax without cuffs during the trip..
