Description

The Simpsons executive producer and co-showrunner Matt Selman joins Drew and Roth to talk about something only he knows: the food at SoFi Stadium. But seriously, Matt explains what it’s like making the historic cartoon in 2023, how necessary it is to have silly people together in the same room, and how to make jokes for people who’ve been watching the show for decades. In the back half, they hit the weirdness of the college football championship, the betting food chain of sports, and if Bill Belichek knows he’s tanking. And as always, we answer a question from the Funbag! Do you want to hear your question answered on the pod? Well, give us a call at 909-726-3720.

From Defector. 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.
