Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by friends of the podcast and friends in life MUSA OKWONGA and POLARBEAR! Part 2 of 2!
Otherwise known as the 'elevated' Drunkcast with 100% less rowdiness and very little if any drunkenness! So an entirely respectful affair all in all (shoutouts and love of course to Chris and Stu as always). It's a rare occasion for this formation to come together too, as Musa is an incredibly busy writer/performer/podcaster, and Polar is perpetually busy with the words and the page. What happens though is a beautifully cordial, jovial, inspiring and really warm catchup between folks who have a lot of love for each other but a love which radiates outwards to us too. You'll notice it and feel it. And while tough topics come up - not least involving where Musa lives and the environment cooking there - it is all met with that said outward gaze and a communal outlook. A perfect listen not only for this time of year, but for this time in the world. A lush mix of local and global happening throughout - the small acts of kindness which spread out, that kind of vibe. Oh and on the subject of vibes - let's all just crown Polar the Vibemaster General, while we're at it. ENJOY! Merry festivetimes to all who get down as such - but as always lots of love to all of you listening XX

| 1:02.5 | How's your year been? |

| 1:20.0 | What I have is the bubble of our home is like a never-ending source of energy and kind of calm and kind of comfort. |
| 1:21.2 | So what I have is I have the luxury of however I'm, you know, sitting on a train and hearing |
| 1:26.0 | something and just crying on the bus on the way home in terms of the world, I know that when I step through my front door, I have not only a recharge, but I have purpose. |
| 1:35.7 | Do you know what I mean? |
| 1:36.1 | Like, when I don't have a sense of what I kind of want, I'm quite dangerous. |
| 1:41.3 | I'm kind of prone to burn things and break things and just destroy them to feel like I'm doing something, you know? Frustration is a thing that I've let it take a second me like this long to kind of feel like I've got a kind of lid on in a sense of like I'm more Hulk than the other ones in a sense that it's like, right, you want me when you, I'm useful when, when you need a bit |
| 2:01.1 | of that, someone who's going to kick someone. But if you don't need that, I can make things worse or like, or sort of misguided, my frustrations can be. So I'm lucky my year's been just, just focusing on our family and, and then going out, spreading vibes. Oh, let me jump on that, mate. |
