The following podcast contains naughty language.

Hi, I'm Josh Levine,

Slates National Editor,

and this is Hangup and Listen for the week of February 1st, 2021.

On this week's show, we're going to talk about the latest NFL hiring cycle, where one black coach got

hired to run a team, and a whole lot more did not.

We'll also look at the upside-down world of sports in Australia,

where athletes lock down for weeks and play in front of maskless crowds.

And finally, we'll ponder the most important question of this

or any age, will Kurt Schilling break the Baseball Hall of Fame?

I'm in Washington, D.C. I'm the author of the Queen, host of Sloburn, season 4 on David Duke.

Also in D.C. Stephen Fatsus, is the author of the book Word Freak and also the book.

A few seconds of panic.

Justin from shoveling, I'm assuming. Hello, Stephen.

Hi Josh. First day in, what was it like, 710 days that Washington has gotten more than half an inch of snow?

That seems about right. I made a little snowman.

Did you lose count after like 702?

Been xing off the days on my snow calendar with us from Palo Alto,

Slade Staff Writer, host of Sloburn, season 3, and the upcoming season 6.

Joel Anderson, what are your thoughts on snow, Joel?

I'm glad that I live on the west coast where it's not snowing,

but I guess we'll have to trade that for wildfire season here pretty soon.
