Summary
Defector’s own Jasper Wang joins Drew and Roth on Thanksgiving to talk about the Annual Report that Defector releases about how their business is going. The conclusion: financial stuff is much more fun when you give yourself a challenge inside of it. But they also ask Jasper about the butt-related football highlights of New York Jets, the different types of sports-crazy inside of Michigan and Ohio State fans, and if everyone’s parents eat weirdly. And as always, we dive into the voicemail Funbag!

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.
