Summary

It’s Our Fourth of July USA Spectacular With Drew and Roth! We talk about what we like about America without goofing nearly at all. And, like true patriots who listen to the voice of the people, we answer a whole lot of audio Dirtbag questions.

Here's Roth's article about George-Lucas-ass names in baseball

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.

0:43.4	But I was at the beach a week ago or two a couple weeks ago and they had a nice big package of fireworks at the grocery store because I was in a state where they sell that shit at the grocery store.
0:55.2	And I was like, BOOSH! And I fucking grabbed it right away and those things are going off because we have not set off proper fireworks here in maybe like five years or something.

1:13.4	Yeah, I know. I want something that blows up real good. I want a fucking chair. I want to like lose a finger. I want a JPP shit.
1:19.2	What's the... I was gonna say like five years is basically like that we now know the refractory period for like a defensive lineman that you know blew off part of his hand.
1:27.9	It takes five years to forget that that's a risk and then you're just sort of like, what are I fucking know, man? It's called like, M something.
