Summary
Defector’s own Kelsey McKinney joins Drew and Roth to catch up all the news that they missed when they were on spriiiiing breaaaaak, like who we should root for in the NBA Playoffs and how Mavs decided to not make the NBA playoffs. But it wouldn’t be a Kelsey episode without a Normal Gossip update and taking the temperature of Philadelphia’s sports scene. 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.

| 0:05.7 | rough? I'm good, man. How are you? How was your vacation? It was good. I spent one |
| 0:11.4 | half of the week in Boston, uh, touring, taking my kid around colleges and doing all the |
| 0:17.0 | college stuff, which is very exciting when you're a parent because you're not the one |
| 0:19.3 | who has to fucking apply. It's like, oh, all I have to do is pay for it. Like, oh, |
| 0:24.4 | lucky me. And then the second half of the week, I was with my folks. And I love my folks. |
| 0:30.3 | They're great to be around, but my folks are definitely the people, kind of people who |
| 0:33.7 | like, you cannot watch television with them because if I turn on the television within |
| 0:40.1 | five seconds, no matter what the programming is, I'm going to hear, who's this guy? Like, |
| 0:46.5 | that's what's going to happen. And then I'm like, fuck, they're just going to talk all |
| 0:50.4 | the way through. Like, it's, it's like the worst MST 3K you've ever watched. It's just |

| 1:10.9 | Did, uh, did you tour colleges last week? Are you excited to be going to the real to |
| 1:17.1 | finally be going to college? Um, yes. It's gonna be huge for you because this is, you |
| 1:21.6 | know what you're gonna look back on these years at some point. And you're going to think |
| 1:25.5 | of them as the, you know, the happiest time of your life. I think so. Nothing to do, but |
| 1:29.7 | read books and record podcasts. I'll have no money. Be stressed about getting a job. |
| 1:35.1 | It'll be thrilling. Your diet when you look back on it is going to be like 79% beans. |
| 1:41.3 | Yeah. It's going to be really bad. Yes. It's going to be a lot of tacos that cost one |
