This is a public service announcement. The episode that you are about to listen to is part of the annual

Distraction Pieces podcast, Drunkcast. What is about to follow may be offensive, may be stupid, may, it's basically us

getting drunk and please forgive us if we say anything horrific.

Alright on with the episode.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 547 part one.

It's the drunk cast, baby! A lot of U-Lot's favorite time of the year, some of you

lots worse time of the year, but here we are. We almost didn't do the Drunk Cast this

year. We had a big kind of discussion about it. It's the first time I've put forward to

Whether we want to because we get into it, but the three of us have had up and down years so I wasn't sure if it was the

year to kind of get drunk and think about it but I'm so glad we did. I will give you a

warning the drunk is always a bit of a mess I've got new recording equipment

and there was a bit of a mess up on my side so it recorded perfectly but we don't we

don't have the individual stems which we normally have and that just means that

the buddy piece the best producer in the world has got his hands tied on how much he can

clean it up and tidy it up. So things like stew breathing into the mic a lot

when he's drunk, maybe some eating, maybe some Chris being nowhere near the mic half the time because he's drunk.

So we've bumped a lot of it, Buddy has done an amazing job.

You probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't said, but I just wanted to pre-worn on that

and make it clear that that was my mess up.

I thought I'd done a good thing in the settings and I'd done a bad thing. I've been a bad boy.

Anyway, let's get on with this. There's five parts, ladies and gentlemen, so there's plenty more to come, but this is the start of your journey.
