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, and this is Hang Up and Listen for the week of September 21st, 2020.

On this week's show, we'll talk about the Lakers' buzzer-beating win against the Nuggets, the Seahawks' last second stop against

the Patriots, and the abstract concept of weather sports are back. We'll also discuss the

return of Big Ten football, reversing an earlier pledge to cancel the fall season.

And finally, Slate's Jim Newell will be with us to discuss the conquering weirdo of pro-golf,

2020 U.S. Open champion, Bryson Deschambo.

I'm the author of The Queen, host of Slow Burn, season four.

I'm in Washington, D.C.

Also in Washington, D.C., author of

The Book's Word Freak in a few seconds of Panic, Sir, Stefan Fatsas. Congrats on getting knighted by me.

Thank you. Hey, Stefan. I think it was a long time coming. It was. Yeah. What's going to be your first

official act? To abandon the monarchy, move to Vancouver. Wow. It's a real lesson for us all. Abdicate. Abdicate. That was the word I was looking for. I'm abdicating my throne. For the podcast you love. With us from Palo Alto, Slate Staff writer, host of Slow Burn Season 3, Lord, Joel Anderson. How do you feel about the title that I've given you, Joel? I feel pretty good. I've always thought of myself as a Lord. I think Lord is better than Sir. They give those sirs out to like anybody. Do you have to earn a Lord title? You've got to earn. You've got to earn your Lord ship, I think. Nobody who's called Lord gets, you know, just gets it. You have to earn. That's certainly a title that you have to earn, I don't imagine. The Big Ten is the Lord's Division and the Legends Division, I think. Joel, don't forget that we're doing this live Slow Burn thing on Tuesday. Oh, God, I did forget. So, okay. Thanks for reminding me. It's Tuesday, September 22nd. That is this Tuesday, if you're listening to this, this week. It's the first ever

conversation between all four Slow Burn hosts, me and Joel and Leon Nefok and Norrin Malone,

who's hosting the upcoming season five. It's at 8 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, and you can find out

how to watch at slate.com slash live. It's literally the first time. I've never

talked to Leon or Noreen before. So Sunday night, NBA's Orlando bubble, a quote-unquote home game

for the Los Angeles Lakers. Lakers are down by one. Nuggets 103, Lakers 102.

2.1 seconds to go. TNT's Brian Anderson on the call.

How to give, Yokic trying to disrupt Rondo. He puts it in. Here's Davis, 4-3 in the win.

Oh, it's good. Anthony Davis has won it for the Lakers.

A little more than an hour later, Seattle, Seahawks 35 Patriots, 30, three seconds to go.
