Crack On returns with a raw, reflective conversation about step nine, restitution, and what it really means to live differently — not as performance, but as transformation. We explore resentment, prison, shame, public accusation, and the tension between human justice and spiritual redemption, asking whether amends are about clearing our conscience or offering genuine healing to others. At its core, this is about surrender, responsibility, and the possibility that freedom comes not from rewriting the past, but from facing it head on

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brand, actually,
0:11.5	Russell Graham, controversial conspiracy theorist, trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
0:18.7	Hello there, you're awakening wonders, thanks for joining me today for stay free with Russell Brand. I'll be doing my show Crackon with Joe and Dave. Dave won't be here. He's actually off taking drugs somewhere. No, he's not taking drugs. I don't know what he's doing. It'll be all right. But in Crack On, we talk about recovery and the principles of recovery, 12-step recovery. and although we're not affiliated with any particular
0:37.6	12-step group, we often reference this, the masterpiece that is the Alcoholics Anonymous,
0:42.4	big book. I'll also be bringing here a variety of content, and this is something we've
0:48.4	not done before. I'm going out into the Florida panhandle, like a rogue red redneck and talking to people about the Epstein
0:56.6	files, about the Super Bowl, about Minneapolis, about a culture that's falling apart. One of the
1:02.3	things that we say all the time is that we've become remote, lost in the black mirror and in
1:07.7	the cracked screens, isolated and atomized. So if I go out and get face to face among
1:12.8	people, talk to them directly, particularly this is his fraud and everyone here agrees with one
1:17.0	another anyway, it's more likely that there'll be a bit of human connection. So stay with us. If you're

1:26.5	going to be interviewing Mike
1:27.8	Benz, but Mike Benz, I mean, from the first time I met him, I thought, this guy's going to get murdered if he keeps saying stuff like this. And he has kept saying stuff like this. So he's even been murdered or I pray that he's all right. I hope Mike Ben's is all right. The Epstein files are out. this is epstein files is mike ben's christ Christmas so he could be doing any one of a number of things.
1:48.0	Remember if you ain't got Rumble Premium yet get Rumbled Premium now. Stay with us for Cracked On where we'll be talking about the principles of recovery and also for content like this.
2:03.6	This ain't the Lord.
2:04.6	I'd say there's a lot of objectification, a lot of paganism, like very deliberate and definitive position.
2:10.6	I mean, I don't know, man. What's the culture selling?
2:16.6	But now it's time for Crack On with Russell. I don't know, man. What's the culture selling?
2:22.2	But now it's time for Crack On with Russell and Joe.
2:28.1	This podcast is not allied with nor endorsed by any particular 12-step fellowship.
