Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 217 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A very welcome return to the DPP this episode as Pip is joined by past guest and good friend (and major league superstar, of course) Mr Simon Pegg!
As the two get down to business with their ‘difficult second album’ podcast, you will hear what Simon’s been up to since the last time they spoke - which is an incredible amount, it turns out - and get the full rundown of his whole Star Wars experience, Star Trek, working with Tom Cruise and watching him risk life and limb on set for the cause, how most films can be fan fiction but with an official stamp, his crazy filmography which is perpetually expanding, finding the work that you love and how to ride the ebbs and flows within, how process is more important than the product, the beauty of emoticons in modern communication, connecting with his family in unique ways while while filming, nurturing talent with his own production company and the pure spectacle of cinema. It’s a big one, people - you’re gonna enjoy it, it’s awesome. BEGIN IMMEDIATELY!

0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the Stratch-freez podcast episode 217 with Simon Pegg, |
0:09.5 | particularly noisy intro today. I should pause, because then if it's too noisy, |
0:20.0 | oh there's a whistle, buddy Pease who's the master of the podcast can kind of take out some of |
0:27.0 | the background sounds because I've paused, it's technical stuff. I'm at the train station, |
0:32.4 | I'm telling them, I'm at the train station, the reason I'm doing this on the fly is I'm so |
0:38.2 | bloody busy at the moment and recording so many podcasts. I've been recording a podcast today in |
0:43.2 | London, I've just done one with Professor Green and it's fantastic. You know I've been saying a lot |
0:49.6 | that the upcoming Chili Gonzalez one is possibly the best I've ever done. This pro-green one |
0:56.7 | comes comes close so I'm getting on the train now so I should be able to stop shouting, I'm not in |
1:03.3 | the quiet zone so I'm allowed to talk. Yeah so I've done that with Professor Green, I've recorded |

1:50.1 | and a fucking challenge. So they're either in stock or going back in stock but only a limited run |
1:57.1 | of 30 or so I'm keeping it genuinely really low but I have people request they're every now and then |
2:01.8 | anyway I'll stop rambling. Today's guest is Simon Pegg who is a dear dear friend I love this guy |
2:08.0 | to the moon and back and it was great to have him on for a catch up because last time |
2:14.3 | literally last time I saw him was when we recorded the last podcast was about three years ago and |
