Show notes
Journalist, best-selling author, and staff writer for the New Yorker David Grann joins Drew and Roth to talk about his newest book, The Wager. David explains how he pulled together a trip to go see a shipwreck, editing the book down to a tight 300 pages, and the experience of working with Martin Scorsese. (David was incredibly gracious about the experience and we were like “So, uh, was it cool?) And, of course, we talk about the Knicks, alongside Remembering a Guy and a voicemail Funbag question

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.
