| 0:11.1 | Hello, I'm Joel Anderson, Slate Staff Rider, |
| 0:14.2 | and this is Hang Up and Listen for the week of May 24th, 2021. |
| 0:18.2 | On this week's show, we're going to talk about what's up with all this damn falling and flopping in the NBA this season. |
| 0:24.2 | Phil Miccosan going George Foreman on us at the PGA Championship this weekend. |
