Summary

Our first guest of 2024 needs no introduction: Sports Illustrated’s Rohan Nadkarni joins Drew and Roth to preview the NFL playoffs. But along the way, we’re keeping Rohan’s New Years Eve malady secret for viral marketing, examining how much of a Philly dude Bradley Cooper is, trying to keep Roth from being fully assassinated by Aaron Rodgers’ strike team, and wondering how good the food is at this viral Detroit food truck. And as always, we dive into the Funbag for real questions from real listeners.

Stuff We Talked About

- Detroit 75 Kitchen food truck opening new spot in Troy this summer

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.
