We're back. We're back. It's the deadcast. I'm Drew. That's Roth. And as a special bonus, we have the fantastic Lindsay Adler on her last day.

0:17.8

Hello and goodbye. Hello.

0:22.2

That is perfect.

0:22.9

Short but sweet.

Adler is legitimate last day at Deadspin.

0:33.2

On Valentine's Day, no less, she is going to the vile and disgusting athletic based on a subscription model.

0:35.6

And she's going to be covering the Mets and the Yankees.

0:36.5

Is that correct, Adler?

0:37.5

Sure is. Do you feel like eventually all of us will be going to be covering the Mets and the Yankees. Is that correct, Adler? Sure is.

0:42.1

upcoming role as kind of a junior position. There's a fixed beatwriter on the Yankees and there's a fixed beat writer on the Mets.

1:46.1

And so I'm kind of plugging up holes behind them.

1:50.6

Sorry, I'm saying a lot.
