Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the excellent and hilarious comic JOHN KEARNS!
You might know John from his appearances on Taskmaster. You might know John from his memorable appearance on stage as a comedian (rocking the false teeth and wig). But here's a perfect chance to get to know John as the human behind it all, the master at the controls. It's a brilliant chat which covers all the ground you would hope for, but also offers some fascinating insight into what goes on behind the "mask" - and what is a "mask" anyway? Some really interesting ground for discussion but also all the tangents, fun and stray observations you would want too, including crowd and audience attitude, and cadence. Lotsa cadence. Lovely stuff - enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | This week's Distraction Pieces podcast is brought to you by the Woodland Trust's Plant More |
| 0:04.5 | Trees campaign. I get sent a lot of potential sponsors by the wonderful people A cast and there's |
| 0:10.0 | not a campaign I've said yes to quicker than this. I've spoken before numerous times on the |
| 0:16.1 | importance of planting trees. Trees are one of our best defenses against climate change, so |
| 0:22.3 | that's why the Woodland Trust have made it their mission to plant 50 million more trees |
| 0:27.7 | by 2030. But even that aside, just our woodland is so important, like one of my favourite things, |
| 0:36.2 | again I talk about it a lot on on on my streams more than on the podcast I guess, but my dog |
| 0:41.4 | thinly taking him for a walk in the woods in the trees is one of my favourite things and if we |
| 0:47.0 | want to keep doing that we need to plant more trees. If we want to go apple picking we need to |
| 0:51.3 | plant more trees. If we want to enjoy park runs without our trainers melting we need to plant |
| 0:57.8 | more trees. If we enjoy not having to fish our possessions out of the floods that have destroyed |
| 1:04.2 | our homes we need to plant more trees. So help the Woodland Trust Plant More trees protect us all |
| 1:11.5 | visit woodlandtrust.org.uk forward slash more trees. That's woodlandtrust.org.uk forward slash |
| 1:21.2 | more trees. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 508. |
| 1:28.1 | And this is a rare one, you know, normally I've recalled the intro and outro like weeks after I've |
| 1:34.0 | recorded the episode, but I've just finished recording this episode and I'm buzzing from it so I wanted |
| 1:39.3 | to record the intro immediately. I'm joined this week by John Kerns who I'm a big fan of a lot of |
| 1:45.8 | you're known from Taskmaster. I've seen him load to different places over the years. I always |
| 1:51.2 | remember one gig in London with John Timkey, Los Anders and a double act. I can't think of the |
| 1:58.8 | name of the double act, but they had a really good, I won't do their joke. It was really good. I just |
| 2:03.6 | think John's amazing. I've seen him at the Fringe Numerous Times. He's so good and I really wanted |
| 2:07.8 | to pick his brain and we got to do that. I've listened to him on a lot of podcasts as well. So I tried |
