Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 264 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the microphone standup comedian, presenter and fun uncle of podcasting NISH KUMAR!
Although they’ve been orbiting each other for a good while now, Pip and Nish haven’t yet met, let alone shared podcast time together - which is crazy considering how many mutual friends they have and podcasts they’ve each been on themselves! Well, the orbit has concluded its route and the circle may now be unbroken as Pip and Nish are finally here together! And what a lovely meeting it is too… Nish is the perfect guest too as he is deeply schooled in the trade of the podcast, having spent many an hour listening in and scheduling days around episodes - one of the topics that comes up in fact, how podcasts have changed the experience of the long car ride or the train journey. Enjoy the wide ranging chat which begins in films and rounds out nicely in the present and future, starting with their respective relationships with the cinema, Netflix and television in general, and moving onto Nish’s standup career and how much he enjoys introducing his crowds to new standups as his support, the legendary Taskmaster, the wonder of Josie Long, and right up to Nish’s ‘Mash Report’ (aka ‘Nish Report’), and the importance of everyone pulling in the same direction. Very entertaining from start to end, don’t miss this one people!

| 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 the distraction |
| 1:18.8 | pieces podcast episode 264. God, there's a lot of them in there. You could have a good old |
| 1:27.4 | stroll back through the back catalog at some point if you wanted, but even if you don't, I mean, |
| 1:33.2 | you should focus on this episode first because it's a really good one because I'm joined today by |
| 1:36.7 | Mr. Nish Kumar. Incredibly excited about this, me and Nish. I've never actually met properly. |
| 1:42.7 | I don't think this was the first time this was certainly the first time we'd sat down and had |
| 1:47.4 | a chat together. As you'll hear, I've been a fan of him on a lot of stuff, particularly the |
| 1:53.4 | films we've been with podcast. And I should mention, actually, if you're tuning in as a Nish fan, |
| 1:58.3 | in about two, three weeks, I think, he's appearing on a podcast called Stop and Search, which I |
| 2:06.6 | recommend you check out because interview podcasts, you know, you're in risk of getting the same |
| 2:14.5 | stories, things like that. I never mind that. Like John Rontan is one that I've heard a few of his |
