| 0:09.7 | Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate's sports podcast Hang Up and Listen for the week of August 20th, 2018. |
| 0:16.4 | On this week's show, we'll talk about Jalen Ramsey, Jarvis Landry, and the fine art of shit talking in the NFL. |
| 0:24.2 | We'll also assess a new set of rules that will either change college basketball forever or will not do much at all, depending on who you listen to. |
| 0:32.5 | And Dana O'Neill of The Athletic will join us to discuss how UMBC is trying to parlay. |
| 0:38.2 | It's once in a lifetime 16 over one NCAA tournament upset into sustained success. |
| 0:44.8 | Joining me in Washington, D.C. is Stefan Fatsis, author of the book's Word Freak and a few |

| 0:50.7 | Hey, Josh. |
