Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by comedian and activist MARK THOMAS!
An absolutely riveting episode from start to end, as Pip and Mark get into it from the beginning and simply don't stop til the end. Sure that's how most podcasts go, but it's a level of energy and enthusiasm which is a joy to be a part of. You probably know Mark from his TV work or live shows, but here's a lovely chance to catch up on so much - everything including ageing, hereditory elements, pre show rituals including our man Pip, old fashioned Boris clownshow buffoonery (bearing in mind this was recorded at a very different time - even though it was VERY recently!), the concept of weekends, poverty and its effects in long and short term, imaginative solutions to societal problems, and a huge amount more which is for you to discover, including his Fringe show which is forthcoming. Enjoy.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome, this is the distraction pieces podcast episode 464. |
| 0:06.8 | How is everyone? I'm sorry I decided to share this week's episode with you. I tweeted about it |
| 0:12.7 | on the day or the day after I recorded it because there's a moment that comes up quite early on |
| 0:19.2 | that you'll hear us just as buzzing for. It's a moment of connection between me and the guest |
| 0:26.4 | that the guest didn't know that we had and then kind of what I won't say too much more but it's |
| 0:32.7 | wonderful. This week's guest is Mark Thomas. Mark Thomas is a comedian and an activist and I've |
| 0:38.9 | been a fan of him for a long time. He's influenced me in more ways than he knows but he's about to find out. |
| 0:49.1 | Yeah, it's a really good chat and it felt like quite early we were on the same wavelength |
| 0:55.7 | and it felt very relaxed and just beautifully free flowing. You're going to really enjoy it. |
| 1:02.7 | If this is your first time tuning in, I had some really good, I mean this isn't a political |
| 1:08.3 | episode as such. We talk about some politics. I should note that this was recorded prior to Boris |
| 1:17.8 | I mean all the recent Boris nonsense. I was going to say resigning but he ain't gone nowhere as he |
| 1:22.8 | said. So yeah, keep that in mind but if this is your first time tuning in, I recommend the older |
| 1:28.6 | Carla episodes. I did two with a Carla. The fairly recent episode with low key. That's a really |
| 1:35.2 | strong one. I just haven't just had dive into the back catalogue. The fairly recent Stephen Fryer |
| 1:41.3 | one was a really good episode for just talking about anything and everything. As was the |
| 1:47.1 | margates one. Yeah, it had loads of good people on to check them all out, jump into the back catalogue |
| 1:54.8 | and have the time of your lives in there. We're booked to you as ever by speechavellumoracles.com. |
| 2:00.5 | That's my website. That's where all my merch is. I've sat on socials the other day. I've not been |
| 2:06.4 | pushing the merch much because it feels odd to do so in a cost of living crisis but obviously |
| 2:13.8 | that does mean because of those two things, they're not pushing it and the whole people struggling |
| 2:20.3 | to fucking eat in 2022. It does mean sales have taken a big drop. So if you do, if there is an |
