  • Mr. Met Has Fallen Down the Stairs at the Met Gala

    It’s summertime and you know what that means? Drew and Roth are hanging loose, chilling out, and wondering if the flags at the beach are related to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s wife. In the first half of the episode, they’re wrapping up an NBA season of wondering if the Celtics are good and kicking off NFL QB contract dicsussion now that the NBA season is over. And in the second half, it’s all Funbag questions, answering written and voicemail questions from real listeners.

  • 100 Foods to Throw in the Garbage with Megan Greenwell

    Godmother of Defector Megan Greenwell joins Drew and Roth to talk about how private equity is pervasive and bad. Also pervasive and bad are the Athletics baseball team, which they discuss in the second half of the show. But it’s not just doom and economic gloom, because this episode also has loud farts, emo cows, tight doughnuts, and Zoomers using LinkedIn. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

  • It Doesn’t Matter If We’re Off Topic with Ray Ratto

    Defector’s own Ray Ratto joins Drew and Roth to dive into the 2024 NBA Finals! Is Kyrie good enough at basketball to forgive all the weird things he said in the past? Are the Celtics the greatest team of the 21st century, actually bad and will lose in the finals, or maybe somewhere in between? And in the second half of the show, they hit on the media melting down about the WNBA, what the fuck is happening at the Washington Post, and if the NBA was better with 90s-style referees. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

  • It’s the Distraction, I’m Sheila, That’s Roth.

    It’s time for the Annual Defector Staff Meeting, so Drew and Roth are recording a guestless ep a little ahead of time. And guestless ep means a wide breadth of topics: toothpaste talk, butter talk, consideration of the future of Defector, wrestling with the goal of Defector being the #1 website, summertime body talk, wondering if Current Age Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez can get it, and sleep pods on flights talk. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions, both written and from the voicemail box, from real listeners.

  • Elite Old Guy Excellence with Stephen Rodrick

    Variety’s Stephen Rodrick joins Drew and Roth to talk about his most recent profile of director Paul Schreder. As Stephen is one of the premier profile writers of our time, there are a lot of parallels to draw: this Schreder profile to the one in The Canyons era; what it is like writing profiles in 2024 as compared to 20-year-old Rudy Giuliani article; and the alcoholic similarities between his Johnny Depp profile and the recent Rolling Stone piece on Kidd Rock. In the second half, they dig into the wild drama of the NBA playoffs with Bill Simmons’ takes as the swirling weathervane. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

      • The Mashup Returns

        Drew and Roth are chopping it up without a guest, so it’s a hearty stuff of whatever is on their minds right now: the SF real estate market, stories about LA, and inside jokes about their marriages. And the second half is diving into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners. I am not going to tell you where the mashup is, you’ll have to be surprised by that.

      • The Pajama Lesson with Alec Lewis

        The Athletic’s Alex Lewis joins Drew and Roth! The first half they wrestle with the rational idea that trading back for more picks is the best draft strategy. What percent crazy are you for wanting your team to trade up for the first draft picks or is it just human nature? In the second half, they apply that theory to practice by discussing what teams are going to trade up, trade back, or stay at the top of the 2024 draft. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.
