Summary
Drew and Roth are on their own, so we only spent, like, five minutes talking about HJ nomenclature. They hit a wide range of Distraction-specific topics: the ethics of showing gruesome injuries, Coach Priiiime, the NBA’s PPP, and Elon Musk being an objectively boring person. And as always, the Guy of the Week and a Roth-forward Funbag!
The Distraction Live Show in NYC, with special guest Rohan Nadkarni!
October 4th! Littlefield! New York City! See Drew, Roth, and Rohan live and in person!

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.
