Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 250 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A glorious check in this week with one of England’s true treasures and gifts to the acting world, not to mention two watch-wearing Pip-twin, it’s Richard E. Grant!
Hopefully you will have caught his perfect video reaction to being nominated for an Oscar, which is of course well overdue but greatly deserved, or maybe you will have read about or even seen his new film ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’. In either case, if you have missed those, by all means CATCH UP with the quickness. But you will surely know Richard for his many varied performances throughout his illustrious career, which will DEFINITELY include the classic ‘Withnail And I’. That is a given. Add to that his star turns in films and shows like ‘LA Story’ (which forged a lifelong friendship with Steve Martin), ‘Girls’, ‘Game Of Thrones’ and a good four decades more, and there you have it. A carved in marble filmography of a true superstar right there. Covering everything including that Oscar nomination, the collaborative nature of film, how a testosterone-charged set is not always awesome, the grey area of memorabilia, the importance of casting directors, his booze allergy (believe it or not), his Swaziland origins, making theatres when he was kid and right up to the habit he shares with Pip of wearing two watches, it’s a packed episode. Go in and enjoy!

| 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. |

| 1:27.9 | make this an exciting and great one and who better than Mr Richard E. Grant. We teased that this |
| 1:34.7 | had happened on social media because we were both very excited about one particular connection that |
| 1:39.6 | you'll hear about in the podcast. I don't want to give any spoilers, but you can then go to both |
| 1:43.6 | our social media as I'm at Scrubius Pipiour and Richard is Richard E. Grant obviously and see |
| 1:48.8 | the photos that we took in excitement. But yeah, I was delighted to have this podcast and the time |
| 1:54.8 | in was was beautiful. I'd line this up a good month or two ago. I went to a preview of Can you |
| 2:01.6 | ever forgive me in November or December of last year and we we penciled in this podcast and then |
| 2:09.5 | we confirmed it and then just by chance or wonderful timing. A day two days before we recorded it |
| 2:19.6 | Richard was nominated for his first E. V. Oscar in you know a 40 plus year career. It's stunning. |
