Honestly Russ is one of the nicest blokes you’ll ever meet. I met him backstage at the World Darts Championship back in 2016 and I only asked him for a photo and he stood and chatted to me for about 10 mins after taking the photo. Absolute diamond bloke 👍🏼
And after 10 minutes that's your conclusion for a person you've never met. I wouldn't trust your judgement if it was the last one on earth🤣Guy could be killing cats and dogs in a river for all you know. People love to Assume.
@@rickyblazeby6362 alright Ricky, calm yourself down lad.
@@rickyblazeby6362 Ricky is everything okay at home mate
Comment of the week goes to Ricky…I hope over time you can forgive your wife
@@rickyblazeby6362 My judgement is telling me that you’re the sort of person that kills cats and dogs in a river after that comment
What a hero honestly being able to keep a mindset like that is inspirational, fairplay to you!
Nothing but respect to these kinda guys, shit they have to deal with is awful
what shit?
@@MarkSmith-er7fe If you honestly think dealing with murders, rapes etc aren't "awful" situations to help solve, then I hope I never know you.
@@MarkSmith-er7fe come work a month with me bud, I'll happily have my team share their experiences and I'll fill you in on my double digit years of service. FYI as a sergeant my last two major incidents were a double homicide and child rape
Best interview by far !!!!!!!
Real genuine talk with a guy with clearly a lot of experience not like that ben person.
Really enjoyed it!!! 😊
Loved this episode. Russ is a great guy and very interesting to listen to.
met this man off my skull at butlins in 2017. Shook his hand and to this day i've never seen anyone happier to shake my hand and speak to some one. Different class of bloke.
Share a line then?
It’s people like Russ that could write a book as thick as the bible with stories from their life - and best believe they remember everyone clear as day just from memory.
Fascinating geezer.
Lives next door to me absolute diamond of a bloke....still owe him tea bags
🤣
Tell Russ - Frank Ellul sends his regards 👍🏼
Met Russ at a darts launch in a Riley’s in 2010, looked after him, Adrain Lewis and Martin Adams… end of the night he gave me his personal darts that I still use today. Top
Bloke.
Gotta love that Man ❤What life he's lived and is thankfully still living 😊
It's very similar in the ambulance work. Not easy at all to have to see some of that stuff. But actually what happens with experience is that you build a natural emotional armour and you know how important it is to move properly so that people can be saved. Professionalism definitely does take over almost like an auto pilot. The only one thing that you can never protect yourself against is an accident that involves the fatality of a child. You just can't, it's impossible.
Any accident involving the fatality of a child, be it an auto accident, an accidental fall, anything like that is tougher to watch than if it were an adult accident.
"Excuse me officer, can you tell me the speed limit here"?
One-hundreeeddddd eigggghhhttttyyyy!
I love listening to #russbray he’s one hell of a caller I know he’s telling the truth some of the things he has seen is crazy
I'm a serving police officer, although not a traffic officer, of course we still see horrific sights similar to those mentioned by Russ.
I've been to FATAC's before which are not pleasant, I've been to numerous "unexpected sudden deaths" and had to search dead bodies at skin level to ensure their passing is natural and they have not died as a result of a violent crime, one of these deaths included a hanging by means of suicide when I was about 6 months into the job, the day of my 23rd Birthday. It was not particularly gruesome but the body had been laying out in the open overnight and it had been heavily raining, his body and clothes were soaking wet and I recall it being a horrible grey overcast rainy day even when we were dealing with the body and scene about 10 hours after he was believed to have died it was still raining.
As Russ says, you both do and don't remember it.
You DO remember these incidents, and they stay with you for the rest of your life, the hanging incident was nearly 5 years ago now and I can still picture the scene and the names of the officers present, I can still see the guy's face to this day. Every now and then you get flashbacks or think back to those incidents.
But at the same time, you try not to think about it, and you put it to the back of your mind.
At sudden deaths I'm always as professional and as polite and courteous as can be, given that there are usually deceased's next of kin present, I turn up with a colleague, do what is necessary, I feel for them but I never allow myself to become upset or emotional whilst dealing with it.
It might seem cold hearted or thoughtless, that we don't seem to "care" about these incidents but it's the reality of it, if we "cared" in the sense of showing emotion such as bursting out in tears whilst at scene you wouldn't be able to do the job properly and wouldn't last 5 minutes. The reality is officers for the most part DO care and DO feel for the relatives but they don't let it show, and they simply can't.
The job isn't for everyone, I worked with 2 brand new officers, they both went to sudden unexpected deaths and resigned days later. It's an utterly thankless job with a LOT of stress and sometimes you question why you do it.
You sound like you’ve got 5 minutes in son 😂
@@DJR1409 Try in excess of 5 years...
Get a life you tosser, you're another tosser living in a bubble
@@sauceymistersausages Yawn. How creative of you.
Would happily sit there for hours and listen to his story’s.
Man, I could listen to Russ all day.
So effin interesting….. honestly could listen to him all day.
Brilliant episode, thanks so much guys.
Ive never seen this channel before but I'm subbed wiv notifs on what
What a bloke!
Bikes are so dangerous I remember when I was younger where a guy crashed his bike into a metal fence and when the paramedics turned up and tried to remove his helmet his head came with it one of the worst things I have seen
Bikes aren’t dangerous, the idiots that can’t operate them properly are dangerous and give the rest of us a bad name
@@joshg1093 ok well that’s ur opinion but I know the truth and u are somewhat correct but as a race marshal and a part time paramedic I have seen enough accidents where there was no fault of the rider 🤦♂️
@@joshg1093 bikes are dangerous check the statistics. Not defending it tho as I'm a biker myself...
@@joshg1093 100% agree its up to the rider himself if he wants to be safe and obviously you need to watch out for idiots on the road
@@tehlumpster If you think bikes are dangerous, you’re not good enough of a rider. If you “look at the statistics” the biggest cause of deaths for bikes in the Uk and US are other drivers
All im going to say is there isnt a bike on the planet that has the indicator on the right hand side. Small stuff like that tells me its bollocks.
Absolute legend. I love darts 🎯
Honestly dont undersatnd why we glamorise crime and the underworld,, these guys are the worlds heros
By far the best podcast!
Police officers are so disrespected its disgusting. There are obviously bad eggs, just like every proffession, but the work they do is so underappreciated by us the public.
They're all tossers
@@sauceymistersausages We both know you are just saying that to make a point. A rather unoriginal one at that. Being a police officer is one of the grimmest jobs out there. The shit you have to go through and see is unimaginable. If you’re so critical, lets see how you manage turning up to a fatal car crash and then have to deal with the family👍👍 disrespectful prick, you dont get the right to criticise those who work so hard from your mum’s basement kid
The motorcycle story reminds me of Mike Reid stand up
Russ is such a lovely bloke I met him in the pub in Blackpool for the matchplay with colin loyd and he’s been through that and has just got on with it massive respect mate 🎯👍
You can tell Russ is a proper no nonsense geezer. Type of guy who'd buy you a pint but you wouldn't want to square up to him.
Class podcast lads
Please please bring him on again.
Amazing man top bloke fair play .❤👍
New hair is looking good Stevie, you look a lot younger now fella
top man is russ
Was he a copper in Wales? Just the cop car in the thumbnail
Nice guy but I have to call a bit of bullshit on this. No way would a cop ride a bike back after an RTC. It would be recovered by a garage contracted to the police. Especially after he said it was stuck over the barrier
Dude this would've happened like 35 years ago. Shit was different back in the 80s/early 90s.
That's not true.
I'm still serving in the job, nowadays most vehicles involved in RTC's are typically left at the side of the road, for the owner to arrange recovery/collection of their vehicle. Why?
Because they don't want to pay the police's typical collection fee of usually £150-£250 plus about £20 a day storage.
You'd be surprised at the amount of people who don't have breakdown cover, and even if they do they refuse to attend and tow the vehicle if it's an RTA/RTC.
A lot of uninsured vehicles are seized by us and we wait until a recovery vehicle arrives until it is taken to the pound, however quite often a police driver will drive the vehicle back to the station (especially if they are close to the station) and park it outside, they will fill out the seizure form and leave the keys with front office staff who are aware, the recovery agent will collect the keys from the front office staff and the seizure slip which provides the owner's details to the pound, and then loads the vehicle onto their flatbed for transportation to the car pound.
You have to remember this was back in probably the 90's when things were different. There is nothing illegal about driving a vehicle involved in a collision, it just depends on if it's roadworthy or not.
He said the man came flying off the bike but the bike itself carried on.
He's talking bollocks, I worked in a garage in the 80's and they were always taken away on a truck. He can't tell whether a motorbike crashed flat out was safe. This just goes to show the shit the police talk
Happy hour is so underated
There's a reason it's underrated x2 rr's
@@sauceymistersausages how many craps do u take a day
It's pity that I can't understand half he's saying, and even the translation had no clue many times.
All im hearing is 180!!!!!!
He seems like a nice, funny, caring man, but I don't agree with him telling us in detail about the deaths, as it's not fair to the dead persons family, especially if they didn't know the full gruesome facts ..
That’s some heavy stuff 😮
Russ is darts
So he can tell just by looking at the gear lever what gear a bike is in eh ?
Bullshit
Anyway of watching these full video's?
Yeah, he a geezer. Yeah
What a guy
Heddlu? 🤨
Ben Pearson interviews russ brays imagine the stories
Also heard he was a scaffolder, any story’s on this?
Yes scaffolding collapsed killed thousand people body parts everywhere
i also heard he worked at mcdonalds until he witnessed many customers heads falls off due to poorly prepared burgers.
True blue. Respect
Is it just me or can you not real understand what he’s saying
He thinks he's a gangster lol
I'm from south east England and can understand him perfectly.
Top snitch🐀
Tell em nothing mate
You'd be passed around B wing
Was he a welsh copper?
Fuck the heddlu comin straight outta the Rhondda!
The lowest of the low traffic cop
They're all scumbags mate disgusting excuses for human beings
“Worked for BT”, as if that mattered. That’s the British art of storytelling. Get as much useless info in as possible to drag it ooooouuuut.
First
hes shouts 180 stupidly
You boys are so soft 😅😂
Two right innocent clowns hardly knew what a traffic cop is 😂
They're still tied to mummy's apron strings obviously never seen anything in life and never seen the filth for what they are spineless tossers
Think my RUclips mayve been hacked, please ask around for @‘creambeams’
