Summary
TV producer and co-host of the PosCast Mike Schur joins Drew and Roth to talk baseball and the state of the TV industry. Of course, this also includes New York Post headlines, Lorne Michaels impressions, Jeff Koons statues, and the puzzling way that conglomerates expect 9-11% profit growth from their entertainment departments. And as always, Guy of the Week and the Funbag!

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.

| 0:24.1 | that space. |
| 0:25.1 | It's very, very exciting. |
| 0:26.7 | This is a good time of year for that because if someone asked me like how it's |
| 0:29.9 | going, there's a chance that I'm like, I was up pretty late last night watching the |
| 0:32.9 | summit league final. |
| 0:33.9 | I don't think either of those teams is gonna win a game in the NCAA tournament. |
| 0:37.1 | It's all dumb, bad thoughts about insignificant shit. |

| 0:46.5 | Do you ever do that thing with your wife that I do where your first conversation in the |
