Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate's sports podcast Hang Up and Listen for the

week of March 7, 2016.

On today's show, we'll talk about the strange season of basketball's latest one-and-done

superstar as Ben Simmons is putting up

great numbers for an LSU team that is going nowhere. We'll then be joined by Luke O'Brien

to discuss a weekend of upsets in UFC, where Rhonda Rousey's conqueror, Holly Holm, lost in her

first championship defense, and the sports' highest highest paid star, Connor McGregor,

took his first UFC loss. Finally, the New Yorkers David Owen will speak with us about a scourge

of cheating and bridge because that's what we wanted to talk about today. And you're not going to

be able to stop us unless you hit pause and then back in your podcast app, in which case, you know what?

You won't get to hear of a great conversation about cheating in Bridge.

But we are pretty eminently stoppable, I think you've proven.

Highly, we're fast forwardable.

Yeah.

We're speed upable.

Don't tell them.

Joining me in Washington, D.C. as a man who's never played bridge.

Never?
