Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the all time Saturday morning TV comedy duo TREVOR & SIMON!
"Never again, boys..."
Of course, that description is nothing if not reductive, as they have done so much over the years that is way more than just that - but I think a good, hefty wedge of us will have become fast friends with the two from seeing them over multiple Saturday mornings on Going Live or Live & Kicking. Well, if your question is "...but what are they doing now?" - you're about to find out, along with all the other stuff you may not know or have never been told. They're a lovely pair, and what they do comes from a lovely place with good vibes and a progressive mindset, which - when you think back to what they were doing - was always present and shining through. From their Manchester days to the prop-comedy work to the present day, enjoy this delightful catchup with the lovely lads. Oh, and the origin of Swing Your Pants (probably should have started here with that).

| 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. |
| 1:03.0 | Alistair's get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash distraction pod. That's better |
| 1:09.5 | B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com slash distraction pod. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction |
| 1:18.8 | pieces podcast episode 517. And boy, am I excited to share this episode with you. I'm joined |
| 1:27.4 | today by Trevor and Simon who had such a big impact on my life on TV, on going live and on live |
| 1:36.4 | and kicking in my youth. And this was a mad one because this wasn't no PR people have sent them out. |
| 1:43.2 | It's one of the reasons I'm so excited about it because I've not heard them on many podcasts. |
| 1:48.7 | Yet, they're peak. They had between 12 and 25 million people watching them on Saturday mornings. |
| 1:57.2 | You know? And they've influenced so much and we get into all of that. I don't want to give spoilers, |
| 2:01.5 | but believe me, in the episode, I gush over them and give them huge amounts of praise. But this |
| 2:07.6 | came about really organically. Someone I know called Cora, a friend of mine called Cora, |
| 2:12.8 | reached out on social media and kind of said, look, would you have any interest in having Trevor |
| 2:19.0 | from Trevor and Simon on the podcast? And I was like, yeah, yeah, would. Because she went to school |
