We’re going back to basics with an episode of just Drew and Roth. Sure, there are no prominent union activists or NYT best-selling authors, but despite that -- in fact, because of it -- this is an extremely Distraction-y Distraction episode. We talk about Jimmy Butler’s singularity as a basketball guy, the LA Dodgers reversing their decision to get peer-pressured by Marco Rubio, and David Zazlov’s graduation speech that felt like a Red Sox game. And as always, Guy of the Week and Funbag questions!

About The Show

From Defector Media: Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
