emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Karl Pilkington, originally episode 306 from 2020-01-08.Original writeup below:While some see Karl as the grumpy one of the original podcast trio consisting of him, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, as you will hear in this podcast right here - it wasn't necessarily grumpiness. Nor was it disinterest. Karl was looking through the world through a different prism, and certainly a prism of which we should all have a go at experiencing. It's really nice hearing him get around ideas at leisure and with Pip (and us) as a sounding board, and definitely a really cool way of sharing the worldview of one of the more fascinating characters in the cast of podcasts, series and media in general. The two get into it all, from the origins of podcasting (kind of beginning with the Gervais one of course), to his thoughts on the promo run, to confidence, last minute tinkering, being a fan of real life and the fine line between that and comedy, ponderings on having children, the XFM days, being rubbed the wrong way by Ricky, his genuine curiosity, working on Derek, people being over familiar and a charming spider story to round it off. Brilliant. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Hip Hop legend GRANDMASTER FLASH!Y'say... Y'say... Y'say / y'say / y'say (etc) and if you're not carrying that scratch sentence on in your head you have some SERIOUS homework to do. We flashback to the 20-teens to the era of the Beatdown radio show, Pip's XFM show which centred around (but not exclusively) rap and Hip Hop music. Pip had some stone cold legends guesting on there, as you will have heard on some previous flashback episodes, but THIS flashback is the Grandmaster Flashback of all of em. Flash has retained the pure enthusiasm and excitement you would hope for in a DJ and crate digging legend, and enthusiasm which radiates easily and - speaking as a DJ myself (this is producer Buddy typing) - makes me want to just grab an armful of records and hop on the turntables. It's just that pure fun mixed with discovery but entirely fueled by funk and straight up musical greatness. Although as you'll hear, Flash does speak like a true old skool DJ skipping through the 'wack parts' and heading straight to the break. You have to imagine how insanely brilliant that feeling must have been back then, when people just didn't know what these breaks and now classics were, and he even goes into the old trick of hot-watering the labels off and replacing em with dud labels to throw other DJs off the scent. It's hard to retain that mystery these days but back then it was just so different. Anyway - a beautiful snapshot of a truly crucial time in Hip Hop, a part of the genesis of what we know it as now. Whether you like it or acknowledge it or not, this is where it started.

A BEST OF compilation of Stephen Merchant's greatest stories and anecdotes from The Ricky Gervais Show on XFM. Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington cherish these beautiful narratives based on Steve's weird persona, freaky appearance, and peculiar West Country upbringing. ENJOY!CHAPTERS:Steve goes to a swanky bar (0:00)Steve nearly buys dodgy speakers (2:16)Steve is New Year's meeting point (7:47)Steve drives Vera the pig (9:01)Steve gets angry at the cinema (14:02)Steve runs out of toilet paper (16:42)Steve almost approaches a lady (22:27)Steve's DJing went down a storm (26:24)Steve misses his plane in Edinburgh (28:07)Steve in Pirates of Penzance (31:21)Steve's grandparents are mental (34:36)Steve learns the laws of the sea (37:07)Steve helps himself to cashpoint reward (39:23)Steve has enormous feet (44:50)Steve haggles over a laptop (47:43)

BEST OF compilation of the rare moments when Karl Pilkington laughs, chuckles, giggles, and chortles. During The Ricky Gervais Show's run on XFM in the early 2000s, Karl Pilkington rarely laughed, even while saying some of the most ridiculous things imaginable. But every so often, Karl would laugh, whether because he realized his own absurdity, or Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant had said something so hilarious that he simply couldn't contain himself. In these precious moments, Karl's laughter really is infectious. Enjoy!

BEST OF compilation of WHITE VAN KARL, one of the most memorable features of The Ricky Gervais Show's run on XFM in the early 2000s. Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais ask their "producer," Karl Pilkington, the questions that the Sun asks someone else in their White Van Man section, where a member of the public is asked their opinions on the week's big political and social hot potatoes. Essentially, the Sun's White Van Man provides the "average Joe" perspective on the week's big stories. Similarly, WHITE VAN KARL provides an avenue to explore Karl's unique perspective on political issues and current events. Some of the greatest moments on the XFM show; e.g., MAN MOTH, HORSE IN THE HOUSE, etc., came out of this feature. This BEST OF compilation is based on the 2-part compilation of WHITE VAN KARL released previously on the channel.

BEST OF compilation of Ricky Gervais' funniest impressions, comedic characters, voices, and accents from The Ricky Gervais Show on XFM. His sidekicks, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington, are dumbfounded by the fact that their best friend, Ricky "The Pasty" Gervais, is a world-class impressionist.

PART 2 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of one of Karl Pilkington's most beloved features, MONKEY NEWS. Monkeys are near and dear to Karl's simian heart. He spent much of his time during the XFM years sitting at home, looking up spurious monkey facts on the Internet. He would then share this unreliable monkey-related drivel with his two best friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who, over time, became increasingly irate at Karl's evermore outlandish monkey musings. This BEST OF compilation is based on the comprehensive 4-part MONKEY NEWS compilation released previously on this channel. CHAPTERS: Indian prison for monkeys - Pheff...
