Summary

As wordsmiths of the Further Realm Landlord John and Robin are both familiar with alehouse lexicon. Whether it be “Handeth me thyne flagon of ale good Sir” or “Pint of numbers please big man”, they understand that pubs and words go hand in hand. This week’s guest spent the early years of his career mastering the art of writing and performance (though probably sounding less like a 15th century Lord), and we can’t wait to welcome him in: it’s Scroobius Pip!

Scroobs is a podcaster, actor and former spoken word poet and former member of Dan le Sec Vs Scroobius Pip. He’s the host of the amazing Distraction Pieces, and anyone who listens will be familiar with the fact that he’s no stranger to the amber nectar, as demonstrated in his Drunkcasts. But what will his dream pub look like? What will it sound, feel, smell and taste like? He’s ready to head into The Moon Under Water, so we’re about to find out.

0:00.0	I am swathed in dusk.
0:11.5	I am beaten back by the half-light.
0:15.6	I am conquered by birdsong and drunk on falling leaves.
0:21.7	So take my hand and lead me to the moon underwater. Oh, oh, oh, an aching, an aching in my heart that turns pintward, and then is relieved thus.
1:08.7	And so I head into a dearly beloved pint this evening here at the moon
1:14.4	underwater. Welcome one, welcome all, welcome all comers, uh, and take a seat, take a half-side
1:20.8	pew or booth, because here at the moon underwater, all your publy dreams come true. And I,
1:26.8	John Robbins, am the landlord.
1:29.4	And beside me, beside me both in a literal sense and a metaphysical sense and an allegorical sense and a
1:36.8	metaphorical sense is the lovely Robin. Hello Robin. Hi, John. How are we today? How are we indeed?
1:43.1	We are here. We are here. We are we today? How are we indeed? We are here. Yeah, we are here. We are here.
1:48.2	And that's all we can be, really. It's all we can do is just be here. How have you found the moon
1:54.0	underwater this evening? Very good. I mean, you know, one finds me with a slight cold, still testing Negg, haven't left the house for three
2:05.2	days. Apart from to come to the moon underwater. Yeah, but I've come here in my mind. Yeah, of course,
2:11.1	because we're both here in our minds and our mind is here in us. Yes, our mind is in us. Yes, I'm on the hot todleys tonight, which I'm loving,
2:21.0	actually. I think I might just continue them beyond being ill. So talk me through your hot todley.
2:27.2	Lem sip, honey, whiskey. Oh. Really just a lovely drink. Don't mind if I do. Don't mind if I don't.
