The following podcast includes explicit language, including, well, you'll just have to wait and see.

Hi, I'm Josh Levine, Slate's national editor. This is Hang Up and Listen for the week of December 21st, 2020.

On this week's show, we're going to talk

about the end of college football's regular season, the teams that made the playoff, and the ones

that got left out. We'll also discuss Janus on Teddikumbo's decision to disappoint most of the NBA

by choosing to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks. And finally, we'll think through what pandemic era changes

to sports are going to stick and which we will never hear about again. I'm in Washington, D.C.

I'm the author of The Queen, the host of Slow Burn, Season 4 on David Duke. Also in D.C., my friend

Stefan Fancis, author of the book's Word Freak in a few seconds of panic.

Hello, Stefan.

Hello, my friend.

With us from Palo Alto.

Another friend.

I was going to say, I hope I got that same introduction.

So, okay.

It's the man behind the hit podcast, The Last Last Dance, Sweeping the Nation, the host of Slow Burn

Season 3 and the upcoming season six,

a man who will not call you a ho unless it's necessary for motivational purposes.

It's Joel Anderson. That's right. I said earlier in the year that I wanted to mainstream

ho again. It's part of my culture in Houston. It's a word we use. It's not, you know, it doesn't have to have negative connotation.

And I think with the last last dance, we accomplished that.

So thanks for listening, everybody, supporting me and supporting me in my campaign.
