Distraction Pieces Podcast With Scroobius Pip

Welcome (((welcome))) (((welcome))) (used an echo on that one) to PART 2 of DRUNKCAST PART 4 which is EPISODE 107 of the Distraction Pieces podcast! Enough with the numbers. Let's get into it. A pretty powerful and actually rather sobering talk about suicide straight off the bat, which is ultimately uplifting and very honest and refreshing, which melts into topics including Caroline Aherne and how she touched on the UK's funny/thoughtful/melancholy nerve so well, film talk in general, Chris's fictional dog (classic material) and a charming tale involving the all engulfing force which is Jedward. All will be revealed. Top up and get in. *slight misophonia warning - items get crunched at various points so stick it out, it's not that bad...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

You can go right ahead and multiply that welcome by 3, ladies and gentlemen, for this is episode 107 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast - but not only that - listen very closely and you'll hear a bottle being struck open and a can going >KSHHH< in the distance - it's another DrunkCast! This is the fourth time we join Pip, Stu and Chris down in the Whiff Inn (Stu's pub - surname Whiffen - you get it), and it's textbook goodness from the inebriated gang as always and it's only part 1! First of all, go and find Limp Bizkit's 'Break Stuff', put it on repeat, and sit back as we join in on a good hour or so of MMA / UFC banter, famous/infamous tribute acts, Pip's favourite film Say Anything, a heavy and rough vehicular run-in on a dark night in London, a very touching Glastonbury (which I think Chris missed a trick on by not referring to it as 'Glassonbury' but, there we go) and the Queen on high Cyndi Lauper. ALSO - listen to the podcast for the question, BUT address your answers to #SAYDRUNKCAST. Good... &n

3 X WELCOME to episode ONE HUNDRED AND SIX of the HD ready, 4K, 3D and fully rendered Distraction Pieces Podcast featuring one of the long term members of the Scroobius Pip army who you are about to become very acquainted with - it's Thomas Coles! A wonderful directors commentary style chat with Pip and Tom, going from their first visual transmissions right up the very recent work (and from the Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip days up to the solo Pip music) - and this is only part 1... A fascinating look behind the scenes, literally, including the gear they used, techniques to get the best out of everyone on set and all the lessons you learn along the way in making videos in a refreshingly hands-on and DIY way. A lot to learn in this one, and if you're familiar with the video back cat you'll love the extra trivia on offer here... GET IN goddammit! ALSO - as said in the podcast, any pro editors interested in getting in touch about that doc, here's where to direct your hollers: scroobiuspipyo@hotmail.co.uk &n

Welcome / Welcome / Welcome aboard to episode number 105 of the absolutely goddamn fabulous Distraction Pieces Podcast, with your host Scroobius Pip who is joined this week by Jordan Stephens of Rizzle Kicks! A fantastic session with Jordan, half of the UK's massive hip hop band who had crazy huge success a handful of years back (and continue to, naturally) who you will surely have heard on radios and TV and at festivals all over the globe. Rizzle Kicks live on, and you will hear some of the forthcoming plans on here of course, but join Pip and Jordan as you hear his own side of the story, a side which reveals the full on grind behind chart success and how it is not just handed to you on a platter... We join the chat on an awesome tangent about fame and what it is and the whys and whos therein, and from there on the journey is fascinating, deep and honest - Jordan's story through Brighton's hip hop underground, his background in music, he and Pip's shared acting careers and their slightly differing... &

Welcome, welcome, and as standard here is your third welcome, to the humbly magnificent Distraction Pieces Podcast! Episode 104 would you believe... Goddamn... Prepare yourselves for another heavy hitting good'un as Pip is joined by none other than UK comedy titan and overlord James Acaster! Are 'titan' and 'overlord' too strong to throw around like that? Nah. The man with the strong 'A' at the start of his surname (and partial sharer of the name of the platform you might be listening upon right now) is in the DPP studios to bring forth pure goodness on your ears, sharing his take on all things comedy (UK and otherwise), his modest entry into the comedy scene and how he went from awesomely named band to awesomely named band until he broke good into comedy, his Edinburgh Fringe experiences (from bad to very very good), and way deeper into his ongoing comedy hours and the themes, dreams and schemes therein. Too much science and wisdom to be synopsised in this description - just dive on in and live it won't...

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...

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.

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.

It's been a long time coming, but the time was right for the two to sit down for a good long chat/catch up - a full on in-depth one at that where we hear all the backstory/origins of the Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip partnership, from all the way back in the mixtape days, through all the gigs, right up to the forthcoming album, and everything in between. A fascinating back and forth and wonderful to hear the original DLSvsSP duo in podcast form.

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...

Welcome, welcome, welcome to your 99th - NINETY NINTH - Wednesday-fresh instalment of the powerful, the savage, the almighty Distraction Pieces podcast. This week is a tag-team of sorts - it's the UK comedy gems David Earl & Joe Wilkinson! You probably know David Earl from his cringingly brilliant 'Brian Gittins' character, or 'Cumbo', and perhaps you've see Joe Wilkinson holding it down on '8 Out of 10 Cats' (and the Countdown cross-pollenation) and in various TV spots - well whether you do or not, now is your chance to get on a perfect level with the two of 'em, as Pip delves all the way into their backgrounds and presents in a lovely chat with a ton of awesome backstories, gossip, and the journey from the early days up to now and what the future holds. Naturally there is some good Ricky Gervais talk ('Derek' and so much more), UK comedy science as we hear from David and how Brian Gittins happened, and of course their new combined project 'Rovers'! So much. A full on entertainment showdown. Get the hel

You are cordially welcomed, and tripley so, as we tiptoe ever closer to the Distraction Pieces milestone, the centenary, the HUNDREDTH EPISODE... But enough about that - let's concentrate on episode 98 and be present in the moment shall we... It's Essex's wrestling superstar Mr Will Ospreay! Ever since Pip had a chance meeting outside a Progress Wrestling event at the Electric Ballroom in Camden and then witnessed Will rip it up, it's been a matter of time until the two got together in the podcast ring and got their verbal grapple on and talk pure wrestling goodness, which will be a joy to wrestling and non-wrestling fans alike... A great chat with a very grounded and humble professional, who has made it up the ladder and continues to ascend, all the while keeping himself down to earth while working a DIY job.

A wonderful and whimsical (license to use that word has been officially granted by Isy herself, you'll see) chat with Pip and Isy as we begin on the subject of hot beverages in some depth and take off from there! And from Tea Corner we do indeed take off into some awesome places, hearing from Isy on her wide ranging skills as an author/actor/musician, her podcast and radio show and her own early versions of these as a young child, Edinburgh Fringe experiences and the recent juggle of all this while being a mother!
