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.

| 0:07.3 | Just kidding with you guys, it's me, David, the other guy from the podcast. |

| 0:27.9 | What's up? |
| 0:28.9 | There he is. |
| 0:29.9 | How's it going, man? |
| 0:31.7 | People love it when I refer to my depression, and it's really great. |
| 0:36.7 | Yeah. |
| 0:37.7 | So we're going to do, so Dave there is going to do 17 minutes on the Metz, and then we're |
| 0:42.0 | going to dip out and let this episode. |
| 0:44.5 | At the risk of saying something nice about the Metz, my friend went to the Pride Night |
| 0:48.8 | at the Metz ad, and she said it was absolutely incredible, like especially the merch. |
| 0:54.4 | My friends that went last year said the same thing. |
| 0:56.9 | It's best in class, it seems like, which is great. |
| 0:58.9 | I, you know, not the sort of thing that you'd necessarily expect the organization to get |
| 1:03.9 | right, because it's one of those things that involves projecting humanity and caring |
| 1:10.3 | about the experience your fans are having, and that's never been a top priority for the |
| 1:14.5 | organization. |
