Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 236 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A fully bearded throwdown for you this week, yes people this is the one you’ve been so patiently waiting for - Pip is joined by the gawds SAGE FRANCIS and B DOLAN aka EPIC BEARD MEN!
A full power meeting of the beards right here, which is exactly like sitting in with the trio as they get their chat on. This is your chance to have a seat at the table and listen in on the behind the scenes science of the beardmen, deep in the confines of a Cardiff hotel post-show, as Sage and B sling gems at you with reckless disregard. Expect to hear about it all - hotel routines and rituals and the notorious escape room shower scenarios, Ex Machina, Sage regrets at his best man’s speech at B’s wedding (which are assuaged with swiftness - all is well), being decent and well behaved on the road, how Sage dragged B onstage and changed his role in the touring setup, their relationship on the road and how they got to a happy place, schedules involved with said touring and how life weaves its way in, the meticulous inner runnings of the indie label, making money as a musician (SPOILER it’s impossible), white rappers and the abundance thereof, the weirdness of rap listeners who listen solely to white rappers, Slick Rick and his role as an early emo rapper, the pair’s Edinburgh Fringe shows and how they evolved the setup over two years, working together as a team with history, finding their place on the stage, who looks like who, and all manner of tangents beside. A long overdue meeting of minds and beards. Please enjoy!
• For what it's worth - potential Ex Machina spoiler at 10m30s or so. Just a brief FYI.

| 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. |
| 1:03.0 | Alistair's get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash distraction pod. That's better |
| 1:09.5 | B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com slash distraction pod. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is episode 236 |
| 1:21.2 | of the distraction pieces podcast. I'm joined today by one that you have been waiting for |
| 1:27.0 | for a long time. I recorded it over a month ago up to two months ago, I think. But as a lot of you |
| 1:34.0 | as anyone in the Patreon club at patreon.com slash screws is people know I've been recording so |
| 1:39.2 | many podcasts over the last month. If you're not on Patreon, that's where I reveal each episode |
| 1:47.7 | when I actually record them. And I recorded one a few weeks back that goes up. Next week, |
| 1:54.2 | my Halloween two parts special that is one of the most. The biggest guests I've had, |
| 2:00.4 | someone who rarely does interviews and we've done a two parts special. It's amazing. |
| 2:05.3 | Anyway, but this week's one is one that a lot of you have been asking for because I posted about it |
| 2:09.4 | at the time on regular social media. Just before I had a Patreon. And it's the epic beard men |
| 2:15.2 | themselves say Francis and B. Dole and I was so pleased to make this happen. The guys were on tour |
