Hey, podca- no that's not my intro, my intro is welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 366

and today I'm joined by the returning. The man that missed the legend Mr Adam Bucston.

I'm so pleased to get Adam back on for a chat. I've been really enjoying his podcast and his ramble book. I've got the audio book version.

And both have been an absolute joy in these strange times that we're having. So it's great to catch up again with Adam and I think I enjoyed this chat even more than our first one.

So that was lovely. If this is your first time listening, I've had Adam one before. I've been on Adam's podcast.

Previous guess you might want to check out include Joe Cornish and Louis Theroux, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg. Who do we mention? We mentioned May Martin in this podcast. So May, Alex Horn. We mentioned in this podcast. So Alex, Michael Smiley. We mentioned briefly. He's been on. I've basically had everyone on ever.

So there's a back catalog that you can really fill your boots with. Adam recently had Stuart Lee, who was my he was in my first 10 or so guests, I think. And he's still one of my favorites to this day. So it was great.

It doesn't seem to do a lot of podcasts. I was really pleased to see him on Adams. So yeah, that's where you should go and check out. I'll ramble more at the end.

So for now, this is episode 300. Oh, I should warn you actually. I'm doing in February. I'm doing I'm putting out tons of episodes. So on Friday.

There's a bonus episode with Asim Chowdry of the people just do nothing crew. And it's a great one. And I think every week from now, I'm going to do at least two episodes because I've been recording like crazy for you guys.

And I've got some really good stuff on its way. So I want you to get as much of it as possible as quickly as possible as the bad times seem to keep extending.

So I thought I'd just throw loads of good news at you as a beautiful distraction. So this is episode 366 of the distraction pieces podcast with Adam Bucston.

I love it. That's impressive. Well, as we both are recording, we'll just jump straight in. I'm joined by Adam Bucston and you're in your in your lovely shed space. Yeah, man. This is shared one my nutty room. I love it.

Is that a look? I don't know how to say a certain I did look to do the poster behind you because he did one for me and it's that kind of style. They're great. Aren't they? Right. Really good. Yeah. I wonder maybe it was even you that got me into being connected with Luke. I'm not sure. I say.

Drosed, but I think that's a bit of an over pronunciation. I think drosed is fine. And he does Stuart Lee's to a posters and he yeah, he's really great. He made a book of all his to art and poster art. I did a little forward for it. It's fantastic. But yes, as I say, may well be a connection that I got from you.

And I keep forgetting as well that I owe you my whole podcasting existence in many ways. I mean, I'm sure I would have made a podcast anyway, but you really facilitated the whole thing. We probably covered this ground the first time we spoke on the podcast, but I'm still very grateful.

I'm a member being incredibly excited on a Christmas night as I was driving back somewhere, listening to you and Joe do one of your first his his appearances on the on the Add and Bucks and podcast. And I got a thank you there, which I wasn't expecting at all. So it's all it's already very very much. Yeah, paid forward and such. Cool.

But how are you? How are you in these in these strange times? Are you spending a lot of time to drink in large car's bugs in your shed or what's been your norm?

Well, it depends what you call a lot of time. I mean, I'll have a small car's bug most evenings, not necessarily car's bug.

I'm trying to I found this brand of beer that is quite low alcohol. So it's like 3% and it's a small bottle. So I feel as if like, oh, look at me, I'm having a beer and that that satisfies a kind of party need in me.

But it's not much really. It's kind of a token gesture. And I will usually have that of an evening after everyone's gone to bed. And I'll listen to a podcast and play a phone game and just kind of decompress.

Yeah, sometimes if I'm feeling mentally agile, I will listen to some sort of news podcast thing and connect myself to all the miserable shit that's happening in the world. Yeah, get some perspective on it.
