"Distraction episodes are typically right around an hour, and almost always on the short side of the 60-minute mark, and commenters and correspondents have in the past groused that they sometimes can seem to end somewhat abruptly. I'd argue that they always begin much more abruptly, but it is just how we do it. This week's episode, though, despite being a just-the-two-of-us affair, is not like that."
"Justin Halpern last week. We talked about the instant-classic marathon of Game 3, our different but equally imperfect approaches to X-treme late-night sports television, the anti-comedy beats of baseball games that go on too long and the fun of getting to the very bottom of a roster, and shared our appreciations of Ray's fantastic late-night language in his terrific Game 3 story."
Two hosts ran a session that usually lasts about an hour and often ends abruptly. This session finished about fifteen minutes later and featured a substantial political segment. The hosts aired travel grievances, analyzed the World Series and an instant-classic Game 3, and compared approaches to late-night sports television. They examined the anti-comedy beats of excessively long baseball games and praised Ray's vivid late-night language. A lunch interruption prompted extended Vietnamese spring-roll conversation and a bemused assessment of finishing a big bottle of fish sauce. Conversation returned to baseball and a reassessment of how the Jays' style would translate against the Dodgers. Attention later turned to a new NBA gambling story.
