Summary

Defector’s very own Dan McQuade joins Drew and Roth to talk about The Big Game! As chief Philly correspondent, Dan weighs in on how the Eagles can do it. Also as chief Philly correspondent, Dan explains how the Eagles can never, ever win it all. In the back half of the pod, everyone is still trying to have a thought other than “what the hell” about the Luka Dončić trade. And the show has time for two questions in the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

About The Show

The Distraction is Defector's flagship podcast about sports (and movies, and art, and sandwiches, and certain coastal states) from longtime writers Drew Magary and David Roth. Every week, Drew and Roth tackle subjects, both serious and impossibly stupid, with a parade of guests from around the world of sports and media joining in the fun! Roth and Drew also field Funbag questions from Defector readers, answer listener voicemails, and get upset about the number of people who use speakerphone while in a public bathroom stall. This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.

one issue, and I think the number one issue facing America, is that we got to do something

about these chiefs. Yeah, well, I think, honestly, I really do believe that self-care and treating

yourself well are actually rather important things. And who better to help us

in that endeavor? Mr. Too-Dame self-care.

Hi, thanks for having me on at such a wonderful time for me in terms of football.

This is a much better we have to do something about those Kansas City football players. Yeah. No. And also was not good. This is a much better. We have to do something about those, those Kansas City football players.

1:14.7

And, uh, hopefully we, we can come together as one and be like,

1:21.4

God, enough enough.

1:22.3

I have a question about cheese fatigue, but we got to talk about Dan first.
