Russell Brand The Trews Ep76, final episode feat. Blindboy from The Rubberbandits.
In today's Trews: Are private schools bad for society, is The Slender Man really dangerous and is our perception of time archaic?
I give you the true news so you don't have to invest any money in buying newspapers that charge you for the privilege of keeping your consciousness imprisoned in a tiny box of ignorance and lies.

I fucking love Blind-Boy, he's such a good, healthy energy to the Irish people. He's smart, he's positive and has such great infectious empathy.
He honestly makes me want to be a better man, and i try and treat other with love and kindness , because fuck the bad vibe shit. Its a tough world, lets help each other out.
Great guy
Yeah I see how some people could think that and to be honest nothing annoys more than that kind of posturing to seem smart but I genuinely think , from seeing him in interviews, RTE, radio etc etc that he has real actual smarts and has a highly tuned metaphysical understanding and emotional intelligence.
Russell has more of pseudo intellectual vide to me, big words for the sake of it, going down rabbit holes of nonsense just so he can use words like ‘paradigm shifting’’ and ‘zeitgeist’ Having said that I believe his heart is in the right place.
The worst pseudo intellectuals to me are people like Joey Barton, James Franco, Sean Penn, Lady Gaga
haha!
This 👏👏👏
"He spent time in a.."
"HAWKERY! THATS A PLACE WHERE YOU KEEP HAWKS"
"Concentration camp!"
"Oh"
Great to see Spastic Hawk getting the credit it deserves. A true masterpiece.
Blindboy summed up EVERYTHING people need to know about the Slenderman case in one sentence. Kudos!
Jay TheKiller Rape is not funny.
Jay TheKiller The XD implies you think it's funny though.
Jay TheKiller You just don't get it, do you?
cutepiku Just because someone laughed at something mentioning rape in it does not mean they would find a genuine rape funny. It's quite clear they're not being remotely serious. Don't be so sanctimonious.
Jay TheKiller Nice ignoring the topic at hand, but my username is not a reference to Pokemon, nor is the rape joke you and your friend thinks is hilarious is in the slightest funny. Grow up.
'YOUR MUM'S AN ILLUSION!' is my new cuss
"It's all bullshit and it didn't happen" blindboy is fucking brilliant
Next time a teacher gives me shit for being late I'm gonna tell them how time isn't a proven theory and also how his desk is an illusion
+Ronan bhoy Don't forget to tell him his mother is an illusion too.
Intimidated Nigerian lmaoooo
blind boy for president
World Leader
does russell know what personal space is?
+Caroline O'Connor Haha i've noticed that too. He's always right up in ya face
Hugh Coons id tell him to back the fuck up! poor blind boy looks really uncomfortable
+Caroline O'Connor i know you can see it on his face
+Marcin have you ever heard of a light hearted joke ?
+Caroline O'Connor I imagine for Russell, being so used to sexing up anything with (or without) a pulse that comes within his range, keeping out of personal space is nigh-on impossible.
“He spent time in a...”
“Hawkery!!!”
“Concentration Camp.”
“Ah, different...”
*Dead!*
Blind boy is impressive- I've agreed with everything he's said on the trews so far
Absolutely. Dude is so fuckin smart and clued in to reality regarding politics and society. Also fuckin great music 👌
Sorry but no one else seems to go and mention it. That looks silly on his face and its really distracting and he has no real reason to have that there, Russell should shave. Oh cool he's talking to Blindboy.
I see what you did there
Wow. I sure like you Blindboy. Thanks for coming on the show and shining a light on cooperation. And listening to science. And flow. And the spastic hawk. Wow. And you too Russell for kissing this man who so deserves it. Lets all kiss Blindboy!
I'd kiss him
Slender the game certainly gave me mental health issues - didn't really feel the need to go out and stab by friend, I just couldn't look behind me for a week.
Just in case anyone was wondering, the rubberbandits guy is actually a university professor so he's not talking out his arse.
No he is not
You're right. He's also talking out his arse.
This is Michael d Higgins in a spar bag
I remember first seeing the spastic hawk...ya never forget that!
Good shout on getting blind boy as a guest! Get Matt Morgan on next, possibly Noel and Gee as well :)
Blind boys accent is amazing
Limerick man...
It's harribul!
cfghfjhfjhbh
That's Limerick Citay
It's degenerate. I'd nuke Limerick if I didn't live so close to it.
@@dylanefg
Let me guess you're from cork boy and sound like a tinker trying to speak French
I lol'd at the title of this episode. Thanks for that! I shall now venture once again into wooded areas with my head held high.
It's great the way Blindboy just puts complicated topics in layman's terms instead of Russel who seems to be lexicologically masturbating: "look how many big words I can use per sentence". Apart from that it's interesting though
It's a matter of style, dont be full of hate my good man
Blind boy and Russell need to do the Trews every week!!
This was slightly awkward, but regardless, I never thought these two would meet, and I love it
Lovin' the way this is becoming a more rounded magazine of explosive proportions. Blowing away the cobwebs, woven by the mavens of bagged magic and myth-free mirth. "A great way to lead your life" - well said Blind Boy who sees much. Peace.
Gravity is static charge proportionable to surface area, never mind quantum mechanics, magnetism is a wonderland in its own right, it cheats breaks it's own laws and makes up new ones as it goes along.
I love the little kiss at the end. TIME IS AN ILLUSION!
Omg i adored this. These two are so good together. I thought Blindboy might feel a bit uncomfortable with Russell lack of personal space awareness but he seemed cool about it 😅❤
blindboy tolerated the kiss at the end, lolol
Saw the Rubber Bandits live in the Olympia in Dublin a few years ago, honestly hilarious show, not the point - point is Blind Boy is a good commentator on what the social suss is right now - check out his this 2 min clip of him on the late late (Irish talk show) trust me 'My Generation...' Blindboy Boatclub - The Rubberbandits | The Late Late Show | RTÉ One
It's actually a myth that in the 13th century people thought the world was flat. Sailors have always known that the world is round since they go out past the horizon, and educated people in Europe knew the world was round because of the Greek philosophers. I don't know where this myth came from. Maybe to cover for Columbus' complete failure at his stated goal of finding a sea route to Asia.
How did they know they were going past the horizon?
As much as you want to believe that mate it's a lie because you can't see the horizon. In fact you can't see the curvature of the earth because the earth is so flat that you can see so far with HD cameras and telescopes across the ocean where the horizon would be. In truth your statement doesn't make sense because as you look at the horizon it's a illusion.
Thirteenth century people are (and always have been and always will be) an impossibility, if time does not exist.
Quantum physics , thats a long way from i got a horse outside
haha:P
Fuck your quantum physics, I've a horse outside
Jack Wilson
LOL
Russell Brand is being horrifically patronising here..... pushing his face into Blind Boy's and re-word everything he says. Blind Boy needs his own show!?!
Whale essa gut fink Russell ess thyur ta tronslite, innit?
He has a podcast.
Shane Mc Donagh because he's a cocky fecking Anglo and a condescending prick
Shane Mc Donagh That's Brand's way...
listen to the blindboy podcast.hes my best friend just from listening to it
I love Blindboy's mind.
I say keep Blind boy as a regular on the Trews!
Damn good episode. Insightful and interesting.
A truly great TH-cam series! Thank you for the enriching insights. I wanted to offer one additional bit of info about Internet myths. Slenderman (dating from c.2009) isn't really the first Internet myth. One of the first, in addition to the Candle Cove meme, was John Titor. John claimed to be from 2036 who, having traveled through time, posted on Internet newsgroups c.2000 to share prophecies and information. Good old John Titor! :)
Wow! I love this guy! Here's an idea, we could all start wearing plastic bags on our heads (don't forget the air holes kids), and call ourselves the Russell Brandits, and bring about a global utopia...😁
I'm in CBT now!!! Please respond to this..... I am really reclusive so it's hard for me to get out to get therapy so I'm stuck with waiting for therapists to come here and the longer it takes the more I'm reverting back into my pre-therapy state of thinking, I'd love your advice a lot!!
Russell Brand and The Rubberbandits is the best thing that ever happened
Russell Brand for humanity's sake can you go on the Joe Rogan experience podcast, itll be amazing conversation and generate ideas for revolution and reach a lot of people !
Yes! Russell if you read this, get in contact with Joe, it will be such an interesting Podcast!
YES why hasn't this happened yet?
Russell won't get a word in edgeways
Hilarious kiss at the end 😂
its not just that its cheaper for a government to use meds rather than psychotherapy to address mental health issues, big pharma makes way more profits this way and they (as a global corporate lobbying structure) tend to exert a lot of influence over how most civilized democratic systems health policies are developed and implemented.
If anything, expand your concept of time from a 24 hour clock sort of deal, to lunar cycles. That, in its self allows you to see the whole "what ever" in a less tuned down "time portion".
He is actually a very smart fella
That plastic bag could do with an iron.
More like a fart smella
Mister Ambulance Driver Sheff99
I like that guy from the rubber bandits he is a very smart individual, i love people who treat themselves as individuals like Russell and don't get bogged down to much with the rights and wrongs rather the things that should be right and wrong. Yes it causes controversy but this disinformation has been around far too long so thanks Russell for the trews
Fantastic, best one yet, Blindboy is a great addition, and your thoughts on science being arrogant and delusional mirror my own.
Gotta ask - who is that guy and why does he have a bag on his head?
he sings in a comedy act called the rubber bandits.
gillyweed01 Thank you!
Blind Boy from Irish comedy group The Rubber Bandits
Yep and if u had watched the last two episodes u would have known that Albert
shauna freeman I did watch them Shauna, I must have missed his introduction. Hence the question :)
you guys all most had me brainwashed towards the end with there is no time. lol... so funny.
russell doesn't know the meaning of personal space
Holy shit, I was just watching Rubberbandits. 30seconds ago rofl. 'Fellas'
So so happy I found your youtube Russell nice one
Thank you guys, great video!
much adorableness and depth at the same time....my mind is blown! :-) xxx
I don't find a guy with a diaper on his head adorable, but whatever wiggles your tail.
well the Irish guy with the mask/diaper is highly intelligent...it's part of his bands' look....he made the new theme music for Russell's Trews. I was obviously referring to Russell being adorable....certain people are able to pull things out of him....I think this was a great Trews..I enjoyed the banter between them.
Whovianize
How would you know the guy is highly intelligent?
Russell is like, straining to look at his guest's face lol. Making way more eye contact than with other guests. Like the plastic bag is making it more imperative for him to figure out what he's feeling.
Hes wearing a JCs bag, thats my local supermarket haha.
This is the best trews yet!
Thank you for being brave enough to give the trews!
Russell... thanks for turning me on to "The Rubberbandits". Awesome treasure for a treasure hunter.
Thank God Russell is here to tell me that time doesn't exist. Here I was, like a sucker, listening to the people who've spent a cumulative two centuries studying these frontiers, only to have their models completely blown apart by a guy who reads Deepak Chopra.
What a fool I've been.
I feel like BB is uncomfortable with Russell talking directly into his face
Love it! Great work boys! :)
yeah.
more brand and rubberbandit collaborations!
0:41 hey isn't that the dad's best friend guy?
Viktor Frankl's "Man's search for meaning" is a very interesting book. Very worth reading.
Where can I get more about spastic hawk please? I am in love for the first time :P
You forgot the how do you do!!! haha but another great Trews thank you for enlightening our generation!
I may have to buy that book, seems like it might be a great read. A broadening of the mind!
If you were late to my quantum physics when the teacher called you out on it all you had to say was time is relative and he would shrug his shoulders and say "ok" and just continue on teaching. Did not work in other classes.
Blindboy sings the outro intro for trews.. hit me there
i gotta feel, like a lot of people, it's slightly off putting when someone covers there face with a mask. it's unsettling. i understand it's a hangup or a short coming.. but i still felt it. by trusting in Russell's judgement, i decided to give these three episodes a fresh chance; free of prejudgement. and, jeepers, am i glad i did. This guy BLINDBOY is an articulate, sensitive, beautiful human. as always, i find Russell's THE TREWS to be informative and entertaining (not always in that particular order), but the last three episodes have been stellar. TOP END, as it were.
if yer stuck in traffic, just pop it on yer phone.. it's 7 minutes (though i recommend going back two episodes and viewing those as well).. set the phone in the passenger seat, or plugged up to yer car stereo (if you have the means).

Russell has one of the best out looks on existence i've ever come across in a human. I don't agree with everything he says.. how could i.. he's not ME.. but i feel he is genuine in his pursuit to unify all living beings as one family of life on this one planet.. a goal i, too, am engaged in (not nearly to the level he has achieved, but in my own small way).
Thank you, Russell. Thank you, BLINDBOY!
i'd say it's about time we have people who think like the two of you.. but what is TIME?!
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing~ Socrates
***** When did i say it was wisdom. That is your assumption not mine
I'm creating a world from my imagination where Blind Boy and I share hours of discussion on philosophy and psychiatry, followed by some hard-core making out (or "snogging" or "shifting", depending on what country my imagination happens to put us in).
How do you doooooo!? Thank you for touching on the Slenderman case with the girls! I was wondering what you thought! You probably didnt mention it because of a comment I left on your last Trews but cheers anyway!
Is there a name for that song at the beginning?
NO ONE EVER THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS FLAT. this is a myth that we historian can trace back to a 19th century writer who projected backwards through time to explain why no one in Europe traveled across the ocean (real reasons include: most people who cared thought that the world was only slightly smaller than it really is and that the only land masses were Europe, Africa and Asia therefore the supplies needed were too great; there was no [economic]reason to atempt such a dangerous journey before Europians got tired of inflated prices from the Silk Road; and many more).
Ye that may be true, historically, but there's people around today who think it is and there's quite a few of them, celebrities included. It's quite scary really, some people shouldn't be allowed to use the internet!
They didn't actually kill their friend in the Slenderman case. One held her down while the other stabbed her 19 times, BUT, the victim of the violence was able to crawl to a road where a biker found her and was able to call 911. She survived the attack, remarkably.
Watching Russel brands body language is always interesting.
The concept of 'time' has been superseded for approx 100 yrs - 'Space-Time' is the theoretical construct under consideration.
It is true that human intuition (i.e. historically flat Earth) is not the correct 'tool' to further understanding, but then again, the Scientific Method does not suffer from such a shortfall.
Who knew your everyday armed robber of banks and gas stations has such wonderful and insightful thoughts?
Russel and Blindboy ye are two of my favourite men, great episode. But, I would be careful of suggesting better ‘mental health’ as an answer to the slenderman killings because it suggests a false dichotomy between the mentally ill and the mentally healthy. In this dichotomy the mentally healthy do nice things like calling up their parents to say hello and the mentally ill do murders and the like. While it is important to value everyone’s wellbeing, the concept of mental illness is as illusory as time, that is, the distinction between the mentally well and unwell is arbitrary and unscientific.
I also know about Victor frankel
I hope&pray Bro/Maestro Russell will make a DVD of Yoga & Guided Meditation; which will inspire millions-of-folks to practice Yoga & Meditation, thus increasing Global Higher-Consciousness, hastening the Global Awakening of WorldPeace!
If someone is standing beside you (and there's no one else around) and their body language is saying "I don't know you" and they look like a scared rabbit in the headlights - for no apparent reason - then that doesn't constitute a good opportunity to approach them.
That constitutes a good opportunity to walk away thinking "what's that about?"
An interesting thing about Victor Frankel is that he categorised people into two types - good and bad. The good ones have altruism and care for others; the bad ones are totally selfish. He saw examples of both categories in concentration camp guards and in concentration camp prisoners.
I'm not saying he's right there, but it's an interesting suggestion.
omg did blindboy sing the outro ? did he do the original too?
That guy with the bag is really intelligent. And I think he's right about everything he is saying in this video.
He says that therapy through the gov isn't free. Well actually it is ! Go to your GP tell them you want to see a Therapist or Psychiatrist. They will put you in contact with the access point in your area. CBT therapy is really good and does really help manage your mind and understand why you feel like crap sometimes for no apparent reason.
Are you not forgetting that time is a measurement of the suns rotations around the earth? Given that that is a consistent occurrence and we have atomic clocks now to accurately read that equation for the passage of time as it goes, seems an odd endeavour to pose time as an illusion. Surely time is a physical thing not a meta-physical product of man? It's an interesting concept, as time as a word or a theory or a measurement could not have been spoken of or written about without cognitive thought, but the two are not mutually exclusive. As a species we're pretty fucking good at ignoring that fact. The 'I haven't conceived of or imagined it yet, so it's unequivocally impossible' paradigm. Either way, enjoying the trews!
An interesting discussion, but it's very unnerving how closely Russell feels the need to be to the faces of others when he talks with them! If people get that ridiculously close to my face I would certainly ask them to respect my personal space! 😒😬😵
great stuff lads x
I don't think the young girl was killed who was attacked by the two, 12 year old girls.
I agree it's a mental health issue though. Sadly, I don't think they'll get the help they need.
just watched this again .....PLEASE HAVE HIM/THEM BACK ON RUSS ,YOU KNoW YOU WANT TO.....i love it when two intellects are humming the same tune and each feed off the other..... please...
Yo! Russell and Blindboy,
Russell. On Ponderland there was a clip regarding childrens television. Remember the scary slender man in the MAC and HAT !?!?!? The clip was just old enough to have seeded the idea of Slenderman in the subconscious of millions of children who would now be adults. I believe this to be the true origin of the Slenderman legend. A strange slender man in a mac and hat....ugh!
The only reason for time as a concept is for commercial reasons for the ease of business. It doesn't help or enrich our lives. Fuck it off I say! (Sorry for swearing I do it a lot. I enjoy it. It enriches my life!)
The Rubberbandits + Russell Brand = The Russell Bandits! Or perhaps The Rubber Brandits?
best trews ever
thank you
I think mental health is sorted out at all. I personally have struggled with depression throughout my life and the pills the government gave me didn't help whatsoever. What has helped me is when I was eventually given CBT.
Blind boy is really a lecturer in Limerick university and the other guy is a sales man, inside info.
the last high king sure I live down the road from blind boy
Please keep him as a cohost rusty rockets!!!
Dear Russell,
I'm writing songs to try and help the revolution as I want to help make a difference. My songs are called 'It's Time for a Revolution' , 'Politicians Lie and People Die' and a rewritten version of Pete Seeger's 'What did you Learn in School Today?' with some different verses that are more current, although not surprisingly the original issues are still a problem decades later.Can I send them to you. if so how to do that so direct to you.
Bring on the revolution!
Paul
I love your stuff Mr. Brand. But I'm afraid whenever I am searching the Trews on here, it's for the rock band and they've been around for a while.
I'm doing my Gcse drama piece based on the idea that time does not exist!!
