Senior editor for The Athletic and co-host of the Shutdown Fullcast Jason Kirk joins Drew and Roth to talk about his debut novel Hell Is a World Without You. Jason describes his relationship with his Evangelical upbringing and how he expressed it, writing the book that he wanted someone to hand him, and the Christan versions of every single band. But first, they recap the championship games and promise to be very regular and normal about Lamar Jackson. And as always, they dive into the Funbag to answer real questions from real listeners.

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.
