Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by host, presenter and returning guest IAIN LEE!
Iain is a welcome, familiar face to a lot of us - someone who's been involved with some really great things, and it's a great chance to catch up and check in on where life's been leading him for the past handful of years (or more fairly, where's he's been directing his life. Truly it hasn't been an easy journey, with various dependancies and relapses on the table, but the 2026 Iain is congniscant of how these situations came into play and is able to trace the path. But there have been some awesome stops on the journey too, in finding love via a long term working relationship, and navigating an incredibly heavy and tense live radio situation resulting in a life-saving triangulation of listeners. Included in the chat of course are re-evaluations of the past and past works, I'm A Celeb, humiliation vs humility, figuring out a live show in your living room, and confronting the end of level conscience boss that is the fact that one might be as good as one hoped to be. So a lot going on, clearly...! Get listening.

| 0:16.0 | this podcast a decade ago, a decade ago. A lot of you will remember it. It's one of the classic distraction |
| 0:22.8 | pieces episodes. And I've been wanting to have him on for a while. I went on the Got a Problem |
| 0:28.3 | Mate podcast about three months ago. And when I was there, they were saying they'd recently |

| 0:37.9 | have Ian back on. It's weird that since, you know, Twitter turned into a cesspit, or at least |
| 0:43.2 | look, look, since I stopped using Twitter, you kind of have people who drift off your, your reach. |
| 0:50.5 | So, yeah, I'd been wanting to get Ian Lee on for a few months. |
