Summary
Ed Zitrion (host of the podcast Better Offline and proprietor of the Where’s Your Ed At newsletter) joins Drew and Roth to break down the Apple Vision Pro. Continuing the running theme of the last few episodes, why does this feel like an unfinished product that a company has pushed out the door to maximize profit? And Ed weighs in on if it possible to communicate that its not bad business to run a humane workplace. And, as always, they dive into the Funbag, with real questions from real Distraction 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.
