Defector’s Very Own Ray Ratto joins Drew and Roth to talk only about sports and bagels and not about the election. We promise. First, they run through a game of How Fucked Is This NFL Team? It turns out, a lot of them are fucked. And in the second half, we have a heaping helping of Funbag questions, as they answer both written and voicemail questions from real listeners.

Editor of the Bad Faith Times Denny Carter joins Drew and Roth to preview the 2024 Presidential Election. Drew has a bold prediction he wants to share with all of you and it makes sense if you’re watching the game. But don’t worry, election coverage is just the first half of the show. In the second half, they’re mostly talking about how Jayden Daniels absolutely rips. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

Drew and Roth are podcasting from Atlantic City, so this episode is extra impressive considering they’re glued to slot machines for the whole recording. In the first half, they’re previewing the World Series, giving a final eulogy for the 2024 Mets, and wondering how Yankees-y are these Yankees when they pick off other teams’ best players. In the second half, they wrestle with the immortal debate of our time: do we delight in the demise of Deshaun Watson or Aaron Rogers more? And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

NBC News’ Rohan Nadkarni joins Drew and Roth for Sandwich Talk, Chicago and The Bear edition! After that, they continue to wrestle with the ethics of Tua returning to the Dolphins because the AFC is all messed up and most QBs are either bad or ok and expensive. In the second half, Roth opines on the scrappy Mets…but Rohan doesn’t think they're all that scrappy. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

Jason Schreier, Bloomberg journalist and author of the new book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, joins Roth to talk about what’s been going on with the company that makes Warcraft and Overwatch. Along with Defector comrade Luis Paez-Pumar, they discuss what the story of Blizzard means for the story of gaming as a whole and the similarities between media companies and games companies, especially when comparing Blizzard and G/O Media. Don’t worry, they balance it out by naming so many guys who were on the Jets and Nets in the 2000s and diving into the Funbag.

We’re just some NFL guys, watching the players run around like miniatures in a Warhammer 40k game. In the first half, Drew revels in his incredible mood because the Vikings are the main characters of this football season and Roth is taking considered interest in how good Aaron Rogers could be as a color commentator. In the second half of the show, Drew and Roth reflect on two historic entities in baseball: Ohtani inventing the 50/50 club and the White Sox slouching towards 121 losses. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real voicemail questions from real listeners.

It’s the dawwwwg days of summer, so Drew and Roth hanging out by the podcast pool! First off, it turns out when everything isn’t terrible, they actually like talking politics. Drew and Roth discuss if Trump merch will ever become ironic and if the Democrats actually get it. Then, baseball! Which is more impressive: Ohtani joining the 40/40 Club or the White Sox losing their 100th game the 2nd fastest in the Modern Era?

They ask Chris about the unifying idea underneath ET, Blade Runner, Wrath of Khan, Conan The Barbarian, Poltergeist, The Thing, and The Road Warrior: moist monsters are moist monsters are better than dry monsters.

And as always, they dive into the Funbag, figuring out which guests at Shreveport Geek'd Con '24 they’re more famous than.

It’s summertime and you know what that means? Drew and Roth are hanging loose, chilling out, and wondering if the flags at the beach are related to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s wife. In the first half of the episode, they’re wrapping up an NBA season of wondering if the Celtics are good and kicking off NFL QB contract dicsussion now that the NBA season is over. And in the second half, it’s all Funbag questions, answering written and voicemail questions from real listeners.

Godmother of Defector Megan Greenwell joins Drew and Roth to talk about how private equity is pervasive and bad. Also pervasive and bad are the Athletics baseball team, which they discuss in the second half of the show. But it’s not just doom and economic gloom, because this episode also has loud farts, emo cows, tight doughnuts, and Zoomers using LinkedIn. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.
