Welcome welcome welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast number seven. My name is Scrubius Pip and this week's guest is the legendary comic book graphic novel and

Normal novel writer Warren Ellis. Um, yeah, this is an exciting one. I was excited about this because as soon as we did number

Three with Alan Moore. We had loads of people requesting basically. I've wanted him to ask for either a Warren Ellis

Garf Ennis, a lot of Ennis's, Ellis's, um, or I think they mentioned Higmond a few others. Um, but yeah, so it was good that we already had a Warren Ellis lined up in the back. He wrote some of the best

comic books of all time. Um, but before I get onto that, I should do the sponsors because we're sponsored as ever by speech development records. We've got

um, loads of new products out now. We've got kind of a winter range. If you want to come and look at our coats, jumpers or that is my record label. We've

I've not mentioned that a million times at the beginning of every now podcast, but come to Scrubius Pip.co.uk and check us out. Um,

I also sponsored for the last time this week. So, um, yeah, we're sponsored for the last time. I'm a redshift. A rebels that's a clothing company who, um,

decide that instead of marketing, they put their money into music and art and culture and supporting good things. So, um,

these adverts I've given them a payback for when they supported me. Um, they'd be in my career. They put out a mixtape for me, an EP, um, help me tour all sorts of things. So,

I mean, aside from their good ethics, they've got awesome clothes and hats. So go to rich, if a rebels and you can get a 25% discount, I think if you enter the code free cheese to go and check them out. Um, I said, this is our last week being sponsored by them though. So, um,

do feel free to hit me up if you, um, have a company or product that you might think is right for sponsoring this podcast a bit of an odd one, but yeah, Scrubius Pip.co.co.uk. Yes, I still fuck with our mail. Um,

and not only it's not even a dot com, it's a dot code at UK. So, yeah, give me a shout if you'd be interested in advertising on the podcast. Um, I basically need to

pay for the bandwidth from what not so you can all keep getting this for free. I don't want to start charging. Um, so that's how we do it. But the final sponsor is on it.com who are, um, a human optimization, uh, company. They sell a lot of, um, call, oh, exercise stuff like battle ropes and maces and kettlebells all sorts, but they also do a lot of, um,

um, they do, um, and, and nitrothics, which, um, the one that I've used before is alpha brain, and it's kind of you take it, and it said to kind of make you just make your sharp, I find it kind of, I describe it as it feels like it goes round and switches all the lights on, um,

without me having to do it as such. Um, but there's, there is question marks over it also. If you've gone to website, they've got loads of, of facts about it and all the details and results of tests and things like that.

So if you go to on it.com slash screw, be as pip, um, everything you buy will be 10% off and by doing so you will also be helping fund the podcast and keep it free and so on.

So full. So thank you very much for doing that. Um, you can hit me up at at screw, be as pip, you're onto it or Instagram or Facebook.com slash screw, be as pip thing that's about everything, isn't it?

Um, yeah, this week's guest is Warren Ellis. Um, I can't wait for a lot of the on Instagram, in particular, I've got a lot of followers who are real hard, comical but nerds like myself and everyone seemed to love the

more one, but the one criticism that seemed to be was we maybe didn't nerd out quite enough over comics. You're in for a treat ladies and gentlemen, because in this one, uh, Warren allows me to go full nerd mode numerous times.

Um, and we yeah, we really get into his whole career, obviously his marvel work is DC work, it transmit being one of the greatest comic book creations of all time.

So we cover everything, ladies and gentlemen, from the past to what his plans are for the future. So you're in for a treat here. So thank you for tuning in. I will be back at the end with a little bit more information. But until then, enjoy.
