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.

| 0:00.0 | We're back. We're back. This is the distraction. I grew. That's raw. Are you doing raw? |
| 0:06.1 | I'm good dude. How are things? Good. We got a little summer-loving podcast. It's just you and me. We're fucking about. |
| 0:11.5 | We can talk about it. We can talk about Sam, which is we can do anything we want. We can talk about Maine. |
| 0:16.4 | Yeah. No one can stop us from doing anything. Somehow Maine will come into the... |
| 0:20.2 | Can I give you a main thing? I'd give you a main thing right off the bat. Wow. Are we in the prompter? |
| 0:24.0 | All right. Do you have to go for it? Yeah. All right. So, when I was up there, most of this trip, the first we... |
| 0:28.8 | We are going to go up there another time this summer. This was just to help my father-in-law out, |
| 0:33.3 | move a bunch of items about his home and help stock the many booths that he has at the antique mall |
| 0:40.8 | and mechanic falls Maine that he sells at. And a lot of that is just driving around in a Subaru |
| 0:48.9 | in Maine as people in Maine do. There's a lot of private roads in the area where they are because |
| 0:54.5 | it's not dense. Basically, you can name your driveway and that's the address that you have. |
| 1:01.2 | You'll see people that name their street. It's blueberry lane or whatever. You're like, |
| 1:05.5 | oh, that's nice. Or Steven's road. That's Steven's house. We went by one that was, again, |
| 1:14.6 | any name people in New England could do it. It was just called Bella Check Way. |
| 1:19.4 | That was real street. Yeah. And I went in the back seat. My wife and her dad were both like, |
| 1:26.4 | you're right. And I was like, no, I just saw something I didn't like. |
| 1:31.6 | It's good to know that that person is out there, that there is someone who, whether that's their |
| 1:35.6 | camp or their permanent residence, is doing things the Bella Check Way in Southern Maine. |
| 1:41.7 | Did you drive by a lot of houses that had beach house names? The great widow or |
| 1:48.6 | I would be cool if we did. The area where my wife grew up is more, it's near a subago lake. |
| 1:55.1 | So it's not naming your house in a grandiose way, the rambles. That part of Maine is up the coast |
| 2:03.6 | and east. No, I don't mean like a state shit. Like, you know, that walnut hill and all that. |
