Summary
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Jordan Gray, originally episode 57 from 2015-09-09.
Jordan's been a long term friend (and Tall Dark Friend) of the podcast and Pip for many years, and seeing their development in not only career but personal journey has been nothing short of incredibly inspiring and to be blunt, bloody wonderful. This Rewind episode is one frozen in time and which Pip often refers back to as something of a 'teachable moment' in the history of the show. It stemmed from the nature of some of the points that were coming up, and Jordan felt perhaps like the spokesperson for all trans people. So it was a really important moment in the podcast which was logged, learned from, and taken into account therafter. Of course the work is never finished, but Jordan shows up day in and day out making sure that her presence is known. Follow Jordan on all channels!

| 0:02.8 | This is the distraction pieces, rewind, where we delve into our back catalogue. |
| 0:07.3 | We've been going over a decade. |
| 0:08.6 | And this one was from, you know, around a decade ago. |
| 0:11.0 | It was in 2015. |
| 0:12.9 | I add, and this is an interesting one, because you will have seen that the guest is Jordan Gray, |
| 0:17.6 | who's been on against since, and is just an icon, a legend, has had |
| 0:22.4 | the maddest few years, the maddest decade, and even more madness to come. But if you do go |
| 0:28.4 | back to 2015 and look at episode 57, you won't see Jordan Gray on there. You'll see |
| 0:35.5 | Tall Dark Friend, because when I first spoke to Jordan, |
| 0:39.0 | was when they were a singer, before they became an award-winning, praised comedian, actor, |
| 0:45.9 | writer of TV, all of these things. This was back when they were simply a singer, a musician. |
| 0:53.4 | And we had a hell of a chat. |
| 0:54.8 | And I've referenced this before. |
| 0:57.7 | This was one of the first times I sat down with a trans person. |
| 1:02.5 | And I'll apologise now if there's anything, any of the questions I asked seems silly or dated. |
| 1:07.6 | But back in 2015, Jordan was a legend to make it a real safe space for me, |
| 1:14.7 | a very open-minded but ignorant guy to kind of learn and to call me out on shit every now and then, |
| 1:21.3 | which I adore. So Jolden has continued to be a firm friend over the years |
| 1:27.6 | and is now one of many trans friends of mine. |
| 1:31.9 | But this was where we first met. |
| 1:33.8 | This was where it all started. |
