Drew and Roth are joined by acclaimed horror novelist Paul Tremblay! Not only does Paul have a new book out, Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep, but he’s also now a certified cancer survivor. He’s also sued OpenAI, used to teach BC calculus, and is a huge Boston sports fan. They talk about all of that, including how this Red Sox winning streak is treating Paul. Then, they open up the funbag to answer questions from real Defector readers and Distraction listeners, and Paul shares his worst dishwasher habit.
Pick up Paul’s new book, Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep, now!

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.
