Executive producer of Harley Quinn and Abbott Elementary Justin Halpern returns to Drew and Roth now that baseball season has started and we know the Padres and Mets are already blowing it. In the first half, they discuss how betting isn’t just ruining the lives of folks risking all their money on over-unders, it’s ruining sports media as a whole. And in the second half, Justin recalls his college baseball experience to figure out why are all these pitchers are blowing out their arms. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

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!

This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
