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.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's the distraction. I'm David Roth. Drew is on vacation. He is tan as a nut, body |
| 0:07.6 | surfing, swimming with and speaking to dolphins. So it's just me. Oh, and there's other people. |
| 0:13.4 | Sorry, there's other people on the podcast as well. Tom Lay, the editor in chief of Defectored.com |
| 0:18.7 | is co-hosting with me. Hello. How's it going, man? Everything all right? |
| 0:23.4 | Yeah, everything's good. I'm excited to make my return to the podcast, do my annual |
| 0:29.5 | appearance where you replace Drew with two of the most taciturned people you can think of. |
| 0:33.8 | Yeah, that's what it's about. People, we get letters, you know, emails, physical letters, |
| 0:39.1 | too much talking on the podcast people. So we need more space. Quiet it down once a year, please. |
| 0:44.7 | Let it let it breathe. Can you give this podcast some sort of powerful orbit to it? And the answer |
| 0:51.8 | is yes, we're doing it. Lindsey Adler of the Wall Street Journalist here to administer the |
| 0:57.2 | chill pill to the podcast. Hi, Lindsey. How are you? Hi guys, I'm good. Good. Nice |
| 1:03.3 | house there. I don't know. They're catching the vibe. I don't know that I was a little bit caught |
| 1:08.8 | off guard by the word chill. Yeah, that's not the right word for any of us, I guess. But we do |
| 1:16.2 | speak slowly sometimes or I speak very fast. But in a way that conveys, I think that I would |
| 1:23.1 | rather not be speaking at all. Yeah. And I think that that's that's kind of the secret of it. |
| 1:28.6 | So I'm glad that you are all here. We can begin the podcast whenever you'd like is everybody okay |
| 1:34.4 | with doing that great. Okay, cool. Eric's going to count us down from five. Then we're going to |
| 1:40.3 | all start recording just kidding. We've been recording all the time. So we're going to talk about |
| 1:46.3 | baseball because it's August and there's not a lot of other sports that I know about that we can |
| 1:50.6 | talk about. But I want to just start with a non baseball topic. It's extremely hot and extremely |
| 1:55.8 | humid and you are both dog owners. And I always feel kind of sorry for dogs, less sorry for dog owners, |
| 2:01.7 | but sorry for both during the summertime because dogs, you know, are hot as hell during this period. |
