Summary
Sports Illustrated’s Emma Baccellieri joins Drew and Roth on the eve of the World Series. They dive into why the Rangers are so good, examine the continuous Rich-Boy-Heel Vibes of the defeated Astros, and give equal weight to the Phillies and Diamondbacks becuase we didn’t know who was moving on yet. And as always, we dive into 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.

| 0:18.8 | They certainly not. They don't? Well, that's not fair. |
| 0:22.1 | It's everything's just they love to say, but everything's bussin' now with the kids. |
| 0:25.6 | Everything's bussin'. I don't get that. I know it. I tweeted it or exed it. |
| 0:30.0 | Where the fuck it is now. And I said that my my daughter said something was bust. |
| 0:35.6 | And that meant it was good. And I was like, I have never felt so fucking out of it |
| 0:40.0 | than not knowing that. And then everyone on Twitter was like, no, nobody says that. |
| 0:45.0 | They say busted or butt B-U-S-S-E-D or something like that. And I was like, oh, wait. |
| 0:51.1 | You mean that in this day and age there is actual regional variation that still exists |

| 1:19.0 | Hi, I am sorry to tell you guys, I am 28, which doesn't really count as young for slang |
| 1:24.9 | parsing these or any idea how old we are. Yeah, I'm just saying in the generational divide, it feels |
