Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 478 and I'm joined today by someone I was very excited to talk to.

So I'm going to have, I've met once and it was 10 years ago and I felt we really got on well with kind of kept in touch, but it's mad that it's taken us 10 years to sit down and have a proper chat.

So yeah, I'm joined today by Jim Bob from Carter, the unstoppable sex machine and iconic band of that kind of early 90s mid 90s era in in UK music and also a wonderful writer and generally great bloke.

Jim Bob was someone I did a tweet a few weeks back asking who people would like to hear on the pod.

And Jim Bob was one of the people requested there 90% of those are now let's say 40% of those people that I'm either not aware of or I don't think you're a good fit for the podcast.

So I awkwardly don't respond to another. No, I'd say 50% I guess I've already had on and I reply saying good news. I've already had them on so you can listen to them now.

Enjoy and 10% is people I'd love to have on and respond to now actually 5% of that 5% are people I've not got a chance of getting on or I've got no contact for or whatever else.

So that's the split of those tweets and Instagram posts. It's why I don't do them very often because I said most of my time is spent going good news.

I've already been on and you can enjoy listening to it right now. Enjoy. Anyway, speaking of enjoying I'll get on with this brandy podcast so you can enjoy.

We bought you as ever by speech development records.com really brief thing here in response to the shit times we're in.

I've reduced almost everything on the website so everything on the website is cheaper except for a couple of things that we've only just ordered and can't afford to cut price down on.

I did a video about it explaining it all explaining the reason explaining the reason for the price that we came to that we can reduce things by.

This isn't a temporary sale this is the permanent price of all of these things until we sell out of them so head over to speech development records.com if there was something you wanted to buy but we're holding off until it was cheaper because it's it's cheaper now but in reality.

Now that it's important there's far more important things going on at the moment that you probably need to spend your money on but yeah if you did want to get anything over there the bulk of it is cheaper we're also brought to you by patreon.com forward slash ScrooBS pip where you can just throw in a dollar a month to help pay for this podcast to help.

By let's go with musely for buddy peace I pay him in musely and stuff like that and you can also catch me everyone twitch you lot know twitch is the thing I'm probably enjoying the most at the moment publicly.

That's not a really ominous publicly privately there's a lot of things I'm enjoying and but publicly the thing I'm enjoying the most at the moment is twitch head over there twitch.tv forward slash ScrooBS pipio.

I'm on a lot man and I put everything together like the VODs the on demand stuff I put loads of it together in little series so if you look over the collections like you can catch up on specific series I'm doing over there that's about it isn't it let's get on with the podcast as said I was delighted to talk to Jim Bob and we had a really good chat he's so open and honest and he he's shown a lot of lights on stuff I wasn't.

To aware of and he's just good to talk to so I hope you enjoy this this is episode 478 of the distraction pieces podcast with Jim Bob.

I'm here today with Jim Bob how are you sir good bit bunged up a bit bunged up is that time a year isn't it says if it turns October 1st and your weather a health everything goes right no it's it's a

big deal to the nose by the way not bond up elsewhere could be a different kind of bond up can that yeah very much could how how do you I think in this before we got started do you get affected much by all the all the bullshit in the world these days I personally find I used to get affected a lot more I think I've got a

shot off switch off from everything in my head but obviously living in the UK at the moment there's a lot of nonsense going on yeah how does that yeah how does that hit you I'd say I think I don't I mean that

everything bothers me probably similar things are always bothered me but maybe they bother me for a short period of time yeah find it easier to kind of move on yeah you know exactly the same I'm not consumed by anger yeah I think you hit
