Notorious underworld enforcer Graham 'Abo' Henry | Straight Talk Podcast | Mark Bouris

[@heathmayfield9148]

Of all of the interviews with Graham , this would have to be the best. Relaxed, honest, intelligent and respectful.

[@candycrush]

So powerful that he speaks open and raw about his experience with rape as a boy and man. We need to shine light on this darkness and i appreciate this man and his authenticity. Bless him and may he be divinely protected always 🤲🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@matthewwaller3188]

Mark, it’s good to see such a high level business man with success be so down to earth and talk to anyone of different circumstances as if they are mate of yours….. down to earth keeping it true and inline which makes a person. Just like Graham, dark history, success, tough and no big noting and glory just being humble fair and respectful. Be it crime money or legal business both these blokes have done it and are still around to tell stories because of the way they carry themselves.

This is one of the best podcasts out. Easily Australia's best. Such a complete man interviewing people from all walks of life about such a broad range of subjects. No pretentiousness or condescending on Marks part either. Really worthwhile...

I enjoyed that conversation. Thanks guys.

[@johneller5856]

I came from the Eastwood/Epping area. Never bumped into Graham (grateful for that), but I do remember "JB" and saw him regularly out on the prowl of a night. He was a solicitor, and certainly did a bit of soliciting after hours around Epping. Boronia Park was similarly 'infamous' for those that assembled there after hours. I worked weekends / nights in that area and saw quite a bit of stuff going on. Terrific interview though, and good to see a bloke get onto the straight and narrow and be able to tell the tale.

[@bipolarlife7405]

I am an old Eastwood boy , Boronia park at night was a game to us then ...Plus up at Beecroft ,park on Pennant hills rd. i remember Abo , Stokes amongst others .

[@nnoddy8161]

I was a teenager working with my Dad during school holidays in a warehouse on Botany Rd. We went for a counter lunch at the Iron Duke Hotel. Sitting there eating away happily, when Dad jumps up and says, 'we're going'. I was still eating my minute steak sandwich. Sitting at the bar was Neddy Smith and Abo Henry. Months later, there was a shooting at the pub. Dad use to say there was pistol shooting range under the pub, but never got to saw it.

I pulled stumps out of sth akl early 20s, now 59, have worked my way thru 108 countries across 7 continents (yep did a yr in Antarctica), done some crazy shit & met some loose units] conclusion.. there's way more bigger & badder crims in WashDC & #10 than there is on the streets of Syd, BKK, Joburg & Rio combined. 👍🏼Last man Standing. 🙏🏼 ✌🏼 🍻

[@JamezAdam]

Great episode lads!

[@gameratwork]

Excellent podcast Mark. Out of all the podcasts Abo has done, he has never mentioned his sexual abuse. His story is nearly identical to Snoee Badman on Spanians podcast. It seems like such a common theme with hard blokes.

[@paulgerard4503]

Almost without exception these guys have been sexually abused as kids.

[@the_shadow_realm5110]

He has happy eyes. I think deep down he’s a good soul who was dealt a bad hand.

[@KretinoSantino]

NO. It's almost always a bad soul combined with harsh upbringing. It takes many years for this kind of person to learn to "live with yourself". Took me almost 30 years. Maybe I was just lucky not to be around "life changing" amount of money in others pockets at that time. And made decent amount of money as "one man job" marketer and webmaster. But when confronted, I still turned into nutjob, ready for battle with telescopic baton in one hand, and boxer in other. Luckily for me, every vocal loud toughguy just backed off. And luckily for me, I knew not to confront people much more vicious than me. But I've got broken nose, and some more beatings. It's a learning curve ... where if you're smart enough, you wanna distance yourself from people like you. And live a nice life with nice people. And be nice, because it doesn't cost anything to help old lady carry a bag. Or lending someone in trouble money, without chasing them down the street for wig every day. You can't even imagine how much some people born bad can feel proud of themself when they do a good deed.

Keep up the good work Mark. Just let the guest speak a bit more, you have a tendency to interrupt at key moments. Your the platform for the guest and a great active listener, that is your strength. "Where do you see your self now" was a great question but you interrupted straight after asking it. Perfect example of just letting the guest speak. You have great foundations to create a really special and successful podcast just need a bit of polishing and it has huge potential.

My life is a lot like Abo Henrys i was a Crim my whole life , Abuse in boys homes church homes , Done 34 years in and out of homes and jails , Got pinched for one murder one attempted murder and rightfully beat them, Done a lot of bank and jewelry robberies, I also found out when i was 55 that i had Aboriginal blood in me part of the stolen generation . It was actually hidden from us because of the welfare system in them days they always took Aboriginal kids from their families . My life was a nightmare. Set up a few times by police , verballed and loaded up . Done about 12 years where i didn't commit the crime . I changed my name because i actually give that life away . I knew Abo in and out of prison , There is not really many crims i don't know . Seriously it is a putrid life and one i would not wish on anyone. That does not mean i didn't have a lot of fun along the way and lived the high life , Its good having thousands of dollars in your pocket every day . The cost is when you get caught its not worth it . The price is to much. I'm 65 now work my guts out every day and bring home my wages every week , It is a much better life . As for Abo He was a better person then Neddy Smith , Ned was a putrid dog killed many of his friends for money , But Abo can say he never give anyone up but i don't think that was entirely true . I wish him the best but he was not as staunch as he makes out
