Distraction Pieces Podcast With Scroobius Pip

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome (threw you a bonus one there, that's for you) to Distraction Pieces Podcast episode 103! Another slammer this week, featuring actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal! Following a good long intro from Pip about the forthcoming Distraction Pieces book and his book tour dates (go here for more: http://www.scroobiuspip.co.uk/blog/), we have a lovely and lively chat with Pip and the talked-out but snacked-up Tom, who breaks down the elements of where he's at now and where he's headed, including - of course - the UK comedy smash 'Friday Night Dinner', his comic career and approach/outlook (and whether 'Jewish-' is a relevant prefix for 'comedian'), his time spent owning student comedy competitions and tournaments and what they're all about, and of course his unfiltered love for football - which may or may not have stemmed from his commentator father Jim Rosenthal... That could play into it... Uplifting stuff, go ahead and enjoy!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out i

A-welcome 1, a-welcome 2 and a-welcome 3 - to part 2 of episode 102 of Distraction Pieces featuring Radio 1 and Talksport's very own Colin Murray! More and more radio goodness for your ears, getting deeper into the hows and the whys, not to mention the whos of Colin's radio universe, and some choice nuggets on his non-radio work too including his Metro writings and sports documenting (yes indeed, that good good sports nerd science!) - you will surely be a Colin Murray fan after all of this if you are not already, that is almost certain. Fascinating and friendly Distraction Pieces good times... Enjoy!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A slightly maudlin and melancholy WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to you all as we enter the fourth and final quarter of this epic DrunkCast session... It's been a powerful and revealing few hours with the gentlemen and I'm sure we've all come out of this stronger, fuller and more complete than before we began. This is episode 101 - part 4 - of the Distraction Pieces Podcast! Your pals Chris Glasson (Redshift Rebels, WeAreLizards), Stu Whiffen (Pink Toothbrush, Redshift Rebels, WeAreLizards) and your host Scroobius Pip (tons of stuff) are back for the last hour or so of good, solid chatter fuelled by all manner of exotic booze, stumbling on all kinds of subjects including the awesome immersive cinematic experience that is Secret CInema, some deep boxing and MMA business, the gawd Brian Gittins and his universe, topped off with some very awesome roundup talk which is a fine and actually very mature way to end such a drunken few hours in the Whiff Inn. Wonderful stuff. Free flowing and very entertaining. I think I...

Whassurrrp, whassurrrp, whassurrrp to your THIRD Drunkcast in a series of four - check your watch, you are still on episode 101... But we are halfway through the carnage and you still have two more quarters to go... Look alive! A wonderful barrage of increasingly drunken goodness (actually still pretty sharp and focused, believe it or not - well, up to a point), in which we hear about the legendary Tom Coles and the complicated history around the homie, The Pink Toothbrush club, the attractive sounding prospect of a ferry from Tilbury to Gravesend and the multitude of hairdressers you will be greeted by at your destination, pizza and death, and a very long interlude of sung theme tunes which you might wanna join in on... You should really. It's only polite. LET'S GO CHAMP!!!!!  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 101 still, but part 2... ...and indeed, the drunk chatter goes on and on til the break break of dawn as we flow through Mr Heggie, DJ Yoda, jackets and the potential instance of stylebiters, wrestling / MMA / boxing and all the noble arts, and a blissful anecdotal nugget regarding a recent hotel visit which you'll certainly want to stay tuned for... Oh lord yes you will. Dial up yer local pizza joint, we're going IN...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to EPISODE ONE HUNDRED of the now centenarian Distraction Pieces Podcast! By now Scroobius Pip will have received his letter from the Queen (very interested to know when she's on the podcast, that'll be ace), and enjoying a celebratory non-hot beverage, so let's all celebrate along with the DPP master and welcome his long term music making partner and long awaited guest MISTER DAN LE SAC!!! It's a long awaited one as people have been understandably hassling since the very first episode and asking when it will happen, but as you will hear it made a lot of sense to let some time pass since their last gig and release until they sat down and had a good old fashioned catch up and run-down of their incredible career as the almighty Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip! The chat went on for so long, as you would imagine, that this is a two parter. In this episode we catch up properly with Dan, and what he has been up to since 'RRR' (Repent, Replenish, Repeat), his current gaming activity over on...

Come around and witness the brilliance of North London's rapper-turned-actor phenomenon mister Ed Skrein! Pure inspirational joy right here while Pip converses with Skrein ("like wine" if you were pondering) and gets unfathomably deep about Ed's insane four year ascension into the world of acting, which threw him into such situations as, oh just a little series you might know as Game Of Thrones, and cinema sureshots such as Transporter Refueled, Kill Your Friends, the Distraction Pieces favourite (in line with most of the world) Deadpool, and his early introduction into the acting scene alongside rapper/singer/director Plan B in 'Ill Manors'. All peppered with his love of hip hop and grime, and wrapped up in a perfect mantra which you should and will take with you and involve in your own life. You'll know when you hear it... Brilliant.
