April 11, 2024 I Hear Him All Day with Justin Halpern
Executive producer of Harley Quinn and Abbott Elementary Justin Halpern returns to Drew and Roth now that baseball season has started and we know the Padres and Mets are already blowing it. In the first half, they discuss how betting isn’t just ruining the lives of folks risking all their money on over-unders, it’s ruining sports media as a whole. And in the second half, Justin recalls his college baseball experience to figure out why are all these pitchers are blowing out their arms. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

Ed Zitrion (host of the podcast Better Offline and proprietor of the Where’s Your Ed At newsletter) joins Drew and Roth to break down the Apple Vision Pro.

February 22, 2024My University of Austin Class on Bloodletting
Drew has activated vacation mode so it is a no-guest streak on The Distraction. They start with ski talk and injury talk, and I promise these are unrelated stories. But Nike and Fanatics doing such a terrible job with baseball jerseys leads to a discussion the flattening, joylessless, and enshittification of so much of modern products. Then they give advice to 7th graders about how to make good podcasts and dive into the Funbag, with real questions from real listeners.

February 15, 2024The Future of Schlong-Form Reporting
Drew and Roth are snowed in together, so they’re doing they’re favorite snow day activity: podcasting. Now that football season is over, they’re getting into the weird stuff: Darren Rovell going one-on-one with Kristaps Porzingas, wrestling with the idea that Biden can be president but maybe not drive, and why can’t companies just create a good product and make money that way. And they dive into the Funbag, with real questions from real listeners.
