Summary
Drew and Roth are chopping it up without a guest, so it’s a hearty stuff of whatever is on their minds right now: the SF real estate market, stories about LA, and inside jokes about their marriages. And the second half is diving into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners. I am not going to tell you where the mashup is, you’ll have to be surprised by that.

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.
