Summary
Author of 60 Songs that Explain the 90s Rob Harvilla joins Drew and Roth to explain the 90s. At the risk of sounding like old farts, there’s a lot of talk about how mixtapes really showed how much you liked a girl in middle school, Rico Suave, and the six cassette tapes that Rob owned as a teenager. But Rob doesn’t get off that easy, as he needs to explain the simmering hell that is being a Browns fan. And as always, we dive into the Funbag!

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.
