Hi, this is Josh Levine and this is Slate's sports podcast Hang Up and Listen for the week of May 31st, 2016.

On today's show, we're going to talk about the Warriors' amazing comeback against the Thunder and the Western Conference finals.

We'll also discuss the implosion of the Baylor Athletics Department with head coach Art Bryles and athletic director Ian McCaw, both out on account of the football program's

terrible handling of sexual assault complaints. And we'll be joined by Kin Early of the Irish

Times and the second captain's podcast, who will explain to us all why we hate the collective

we hate Cristiano Ronaldo. I'm in Washington, D.C. with my colleague, co-host, compatriot, the Clay Thompson to my Festus Azele.

It's Stefan Fats.

You thought I was going there, but I went somewhere else.

That was a misdirection play.

Stefan's the author of the book's Word Freak in a few seconds of panic. Hello, Splashy. Are you not a splash brother, then? No. I'm a role player. I said solid screens. We can make you a splash brother. If you want to be a splash brother. I'm one of the splash quintuplets of Canada, they have us in an exhibit where everyone can come and gawk at us. Hey, it's Mike Peska of the Gist. How are you, Mike? I don't think they like the name Splash Brothers. I think the Bash Brothers like that. And just, as I'm saying it out loud, until this very moment did not get the Bay Area connection, Bash Brothers and Splash Brothers, but that's what it's got to be, right? There's also the splash hits when you hit the ball out of the Giants Stadium. There is kind of a splash theme in the Bay Area. Bay Area splash theme. Yeah. And the San Jose Sharks making a splash, as one does on ice, a hard thwack as they lost their first game.

And that sends our hockey coverage for the week.

They just really like movies about mermaids.

That's why that's their nickname.

So before you get into the meat of the show, Stefan, you had some hot spelling bee takes for us?

I went to the spelling bee. Oh, so you were live tweeting from the actual bee? Not for the finals. I was there for the preliminaries. Awesome atmosphere. The bee is great. Love the kids. Love the bee. Love making them stand up there until 11 o'clock at night. Do I need to prompt you again? Hey, Stefan, I hear you had some hot spelling bee takes that you wanted to share with us.

You know, I have a sneaking suspicion that Nihar, the machine, the co-champi...

Nehar Janga, the one who was not only spelling his words correctly, but mouthing everyone else's words and knowing exactly when everyone got something wrong.

And giving the definitions of the words rather than asking for the definitions,

I have a sneaking suspicion that Nihar wanted to tie.
