The Distraction: A Defector Podcast

Drew and Roth drill down on the most important story in sports right now: is Tommy DeVito’s agent proof that we’re living in a simulation? Because it’s just too on the nose. But first, Roth unspools the effects of Shohei Ohtani’s signing, on the current baseball picture and the sport as a whole. And we’re a little late on it, but we need to go through the incredibly ridiculous stories about Sean McDermott, because there’s more than just “the 9/11 hijackers were a solid unit.” And as always, we dive into the Funbag.

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.
