Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined, at long last, by national treasure STEPHEN FRY!
Simply using the term ‘national treasure’ doesn’t do any kind of justice whatsoever to who or what Stephen is, does and has done, of course. But it’s pretty tough to dispute. Long term (and casual) Pip listeners will already know the line ‘Thou shalt not question Stephen Fry’ - well, Pip breaks the holy rap commandment and does just that, and it’s a joy to behold. Naturally there’s only so many tips of icebergs one can introduce in an hour, but rest assured that you get the full Pip and Fry experience including pandemic times, social media, Greeks and Romans and history as a whole, tattoos, religion, politics - it’s like if you had a dinner party with him but condensed into a lunch break. So enjoy this hang time with Stephen and let’s hope that it only leads to more! Enjoy.

| 0:23.3 | have Steven on and you're gonna find out that he very much delivered. We've been, as we'll discuss, |
| 0:29.5 | we've been lining this up for a while, but it was more than worth the wait. I think you're |
| 0:34.5 | gonna really enjoy it. If this is your first time tuning in, first of all, you can have a full |
| 0:40.0 | welcome here. But check out the back catalogue. The previous guests include everyone from Louis Theroux |

| 0:57.8 | Fassbender, Stuart Lee, Richard Herrin, Adam Buckston, Joe Cornish, Sarah Pascoach and B, |
| 1:05.6 | Alaina Heady, loads of amazing people, basically. Does he rest school? Yeah, there's been a variation, |
| 1:13.0 | as you can tell. I'm gonna get into the podcast relatively quickly because I'm as excited as you are, |
| 1:18.3 | guys. But before I do, I want to tell you that I'm gonna start streaming on Twitch soon. I've |
| 1:24.3 | now been teasing it for a long time now. I've had a Twitch channel for ages and I mainly watch people, |
| 1:30.4 | I watch previous guest, Blind Boy and previous guest, Limmy and previous guest David Earl and |
| 1:37.6 | previous guest, Daniel Sack. These are all people I watch on Twitch and a few of them have given me |
| 1:43.7 | some tips and some advice and I'm gonna be starting up soon. I may or may not be doing something that |
| 1:49.9 | involves Limmy and being part of something he's been doing. Generally, that's still to be decided |

| 2:00.0 | Twitch.tv, forward slash, screwbiuspipio and give me a follow because yeah, I've been wanting to |
| 2:08.0 | stream on there for a while, but I've always kind of put it off and thought, oh no, there's no |
| 2:12.0 | interest or whatever. So it's been really nice to see the page getting a bit of a following before |
| 2:17.5 | I've even streamed and it's kind of, that's played a large part in what's given me the confidence to |
