The following podcast contains naughty language. Hi, I'm Josh Levine, and this is Hang Up and Listen for the week of January 2nd, 2024.

On this week's Ben Mathis Lily will join us to talk about a couple of

thrilling college football playoff semis with Michigan beating Alabama in overtime and Washington barely holding on

against Texas. Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports will also be here to discuss the

Detroit Pistons 28 game losing streak, how they snapped it in the broader state of Detroit sports.

And finally, in the final days of the Pact 12 conference, we'll replay one of our favorite segments

from the recent past.

An interview with then UCLA

players Otito Obanaya and Elisha Guidry about their attempts to reform the

conference and all of college sports back in 2020. I'm in New Orleans where I did not attend the

Sugar Bowl but did stay up late to watch the whole game on television. I am also
