The following podcast includes explicit language, but we assume that's what you came for.

Hi, I'm Josh Levine, Slates National Editor, and this is Hang Up and Listen for the Week of November 14th, 2022.

On this week's show, Grant Wall will join us to talk about the World Cup in Qatar, and all the bribery and authoritarianism and fun soccer things that brought us here.

We'll also talk about the coaching debut of the Colts Jeff Saturday, and what it says about who gets opportunities in the NFL.

And finally, we'll look at who's benefiting from the new name, image, and likeness rules on college sports, and what those rules have meant for female athletes in particular.

I'm in Washington, D.C., and I'm the author of The Queen and the host of the podcast one year.

Check out our new season on 1942, new episodes still rolling out every week.

Also in D.C., Stefan Fatsis, he's the author of the book Wild and Outside, Word Freak, and a few seconds of panic, I love Stefan.

Hey, Josh, how are you?

I'm doing great, and with us from California, host of Slow Burn Season 3 and 6, host of an upcoming one-year episode.

Stay tuned.

And it's just getting redundant to talk about TCO and their victorious performances.

So should we just put that to the side today, Joel Anderson?

Hey, I'll leave that to you all.

There's three more games to go before anybody should really get to you excited.

Mississippi State was the top ranked team when the first college football playoff ratings came out, in case you don't remember.

So a lot of things can happen between now and when they set the brackets.

All right, in the five seconds that you were answering my question, I've decided that in our sleep plus segment, we're going to talk some more about TCU football.

I'm being serious.

We are going to talk more about TCU football and check in with Joel's mental state.

We can talk about other college football things too, Joel. Don't be too concerned.

Focus all of our tractor beam, love and energy on you.
