Summary

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! Thank you for tuning in and opting to enrich your Wednesday's listening choices - you shan't regret it. Bigups of the highest order. Another smash episode for your DPP enjoyment - this week's show is pure UK comedy goodness from a true great - yes indeed, it's Russell Howard!

Powerful chat goodness right here from the fellas, getting right into it from beginning to end with only the briefest of pauses for some dog wrangling and cup of tea making. Keeping the conversation effortlessly diverse, Pip and Russell keep it moving in fine fashion touching on everything from Russell kicking off his huge standup shows with one of Dan and Pip's songs, the emotive issue of self harm among young women and how to address it and raise attention to it in comic parameters, being a certified 'Weird Crush' (congratulations...?), how to take your audience with you through perhaps more serious subject matter without losing them along the way (which requires the deftest of hands), intelligence, awareness, good deeds, social media, UK politics (and worldwide, of course, the obvious weirdness of Madame Tussauds, tied up nicely with some in depth explanation on his various TV shows - more currently, 'The Russell Howard Hour', on Sky1. A truly positive and perfectly balanced conversation, branching out to some rich areas of interest for certain - you'll enjoy this one, get on board!

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 173 and I'm
0:05.2	joined this week by Russell Howard, which is a very exciting one. I've been wanting to have
0:10.0	Russell on for a little while. He, I mean, I mentioned it all in the podcast. I won't go deep
0:14.8	into it, but his show was the first show. I heard some of my music played on on TV or one of the first
0:21.2	that wasn't like MTV or something like that. He also plays one of our songs before his show and
0:28.3	by kind of sister-in-law, kind of my dad's long-term girlfriend's daughter. They're not
0:33.8	married, so not technically a sister-in-law, but you don't need that information. Was watching him
0:38.4	in Australia and sent a video like this is really weird. I mean, a massive venue about to watch
0:43.9	some comedy and pips playing through the speakers. So that's lovely. Before we get into that,
0:52.0	thank you all very much for last week's love. I had Michael Fassbender on it. It was a bit of a

1:10.5	episode, but until I've recorded it, I'm not going to tell you, I watched the film it's relating to
1:17.4	yesterday. I met the writer and director, but the podcast I'm recording in a day or two, so I'm
1:23.7	not going to tell you yet, but it's a good one. It's another good one and the film is fantastic, so
1:28.5	that's exciting. Yeah, but got a lot of love for Michael Fassbender. That was insane reaction, so
1:34.9	thank you all for that one. I posted about it quite a bit because I was quite excited, but hopefully,
1:41.8	you can forgive me for that. Speaking of posting quite a bit, the podcast is bought to you as ever
1:47.2	by speechrevelliamandreckles.com and we just launched a dark winter range with an amazing
1:51.9	photoshoot by BDUX Photography at BDUX Photography on Instagram and we've released sweaters and jackets
2:03.7	and bobble hats. Now all three of them were available in one form or another, but we've
2:07.4	rather stocked up on made slight changes. But the new things we've released are scarves that have
