Summary
Defector’s own Kathryn Xu join Drew and Roth to break down the hottest free agency market we’ve ever seen: K-Pop groups. They also glean insight from Kathryn’s specialties that are rare for the show: F1 drama, hot pot drama, and what young people are doing these days. And as always, Roth shares a specific detail about Trump that has pushed out precious memories in his mind palace and they dive into the Funbag for real questions from real listeners

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.
