Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 242 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A directorial gemstone right here this week as Pip is joined by ‘Old Man & A Gun’s DAVID LOWERY!
“…that’s one of the things I always look for when I start writing, is like, how can i make this autobiographical… I need to find that thing that makes it connect to me…”
A fascinating sit down here, which is the perfect companion to last week’s film-based episode. Always crazy interesting to hear Pip talk shop with film industry folk as we always get a very pleasant insight into the world in which they inhabit without hearing the same stories or film summaries. With the release of David’s ‘Old Man & A Gun’ on the horizon, he gives us some nice background gossip on the film including the acquiring of Mr Tom Waits as a cast member, and how he maintained composure knowing it would be Robert Redford’s last film. Not only that, we get some further behind the scenes treats about ‘Pete’s Dragon’ and ‘A Ghost Story’ among others, as well as some inspirational nuggets on the power of collaboration, trust, and having a solid crew around you. ALL THIS while battling with a case of laryngitis, giving him the vocal quality of Tom Waits mixed with MF Doom. Wonderful!

| 0:00.0 | This is a paid advertisement from Better Help. I've got a really clear memory when I first got a |
| 0:06.6 | dog of being really focused on how important all the things I have to do for this cute little guy |
| 0:13.6 | are. Like I need to make sure he's getting walks every day, fresh air every day, fresh water every |
| 0:21.1 | day, eating good food. And it becomes such a kind of a focus and a drive because you want to do all |
| 0:28.0 | you can for this little creature that you love. But we don't always put that much time and |
| 0:32.8 | attention into what we need for ourselves. Like what are our basic requirements to get through |
| 0:40.6 | life. And we need to focus on that more and Better Help can help with that. With over a thousand |
| 0:46.2 | therapists in the UK already, they can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide |
| 0:51.5 | variety of expertise in mental health. As far as I know, they've not got any that can help dogs, |
| 0:57.4 | but again, as long as you're dealing with that, then they can help you deal with you as well. |

| 1:18.4 | pieces podcast episode 242 with David Lowry. Apologies for my slightly croaky voice at the moment. |
| 1:28.1 | I had my, at the last time I club nights of the year, last night. So late nights and a lot of |
| 1:35.8 | talking really loud leaves you a little croaky. But it's weirdly fitting because in this episode, |
| 1:43.7 | David Lowry pretty much completely lost his voice. But, um, God bless him. He sold you done. And, uh, |
| 1:51.6 | and we had a really good chat, a really good chat. This was the last podcast I've recorded on a week |
| 1:58.9 | where I had six podcasts in a week. And the other five were all people I kind of knew a bit. |
| 2:05.1 | I'd already met all, all the, I don't know, gigged with, done festivals, we've done |
| 2:12.8 | some acting work with or whatever else. So they were all ones I was more comfortable with. |
| 2:19.1 | And I'm a big fan of David's work. I love, I mean, we'll hear about it all in the podcast. We got, |
| 2:24.7 | we've really managed to fit a lot in in a short amount of time as wicked. But yeah, |
