So what happened at Chappaquiddick?
Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
There are many versions of what happened in 1969
when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond.
And left a woman behind to drown.
Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.
Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.
Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, a different type of podcast. You,
the listener, ask the questions. Did George Washington really cut down a cherry tree?
Were JFK and Marilyn Monroe having an affair? And I find the answers. I'm so glad you asked me this question.
This is such a ridiculous story.
You can listen to American History Hotline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked.
I'm Maria Ininojosa. I spent my career creating journalism that centers voices
who have been historically sidelined.
From the most pressing news stories
to deep cultural explorations,
Latino USA is journalism with heart.

The Volume.
Hey, this applies to 99% of the world.

That is a 48 megapixel camera for $99.99.
That's right, $99.99. That's right, $99.99 on a 5G network is nationwide.
And I'm 99% sure that Boost Mobile just gave us
a crazy deal with this promo.
Now this is crazy.
You are the father.
It does require credit qualification, ID verification,
and an activation on a $6 plan.
Taxes are extra and 5G speeds may not be available

I don't care.
Hey, man, don't let them handle you like this.
It's not your job.
So how are you feeling?
Obviously you've been through this process before,
but year three in the All-Star,
guys, as a starter, what's that feeling like?
It feels great.
I knew I could be an All-Star,
but being an All-Star star for the first time,
I mean, I'm excited about it.
It feels good.
Okay, having a good season so far,
y'all going crazy.
A little bit different than last year,
but how you feeling so far,
especially how good you playing this year?
It feels nice to be in the winning category.
Just jumping from last year to this year,
I mean, we going to the All-Star break seem pretty.
Okay, yeah, last year was a little wicked,
you know what I'm saying, we ain't gonna talk about that.
Yeah, we gonna leave that.
Yeah, we gonna leave that alone, we let that go, it happens to the best of us. Come wicked. You know what I'm saying? We ain't gonna talk about that. Yeah, we gonna leave that. Yeah, we gonna leave that.
We let that go.
It happens to the best of us.
Come on, you know what I'm saying?
Big improvement this year.
You doing your thing.
Let's start back at it.
You know, high school days.
High childhood players, you know what I'm saying?
Going on to high school.
What was that day like?
I know we talk about the NIL and stuff now.
How would you feel if you was in that situation now?
Cause you was killing it in high school.
Man, I would be dressed,
rolling up in Ferraris.
All that, like.
So you'd be wildin'.
Yeah, I woulda used that money nicely.
Yeah, that's what I'm.
Nice in college, yeah.
I woulda been rolling pretty nice.
Wait a minute.
You thought I gave you 500,000,
you was gonna just blow it all out the gate?
I'm a little dream.
I respect you.
Respect, I like that. Okay, all right. Remember, I'm in little dream. I like that.
Remember I'm in college like.
You know what?
But you're the first person that came on the show today said, you know, the typical, I'm
gonna get my mom a house.
I'm gonna get you went straight to the raw.
Yeah.
I'm gonna look out for them too.
But you know, I gotta treat myself nice.
Yeah.
You were the reason.
So respect.
I'm getting myself nice. Yeah, I like that. You were the reason, so respect. I respect. She said, I'm getting a Rory.
She didn't say a Rage.
She didn't say a Cadillac.
Or Rory.
She said, we getting that shit off of you.
She went straight to the whole run dirt.
I like the type of energy for sure.
What was that recruitment process like for you?
Obviously you killed in high school.
We'll talk about where you ended up going,
but what was that like for you?
It was crazy.
Mailbox full of letters.
It got to the point where I just let my friends
open the letters just for the fun of it.
Just packed out.
And then it got to a point where my dad was like,
I ain't not like, you need to narrow the list down
to let these people know like where you have an idea going.
And then once that happened,
I chose the first college I was gonna go to.
It's okay to say it.
Everybody make mistakes.
It's okay, it happens.
You got it right.
The school that she go in name, it happens.
We ain't gonna say what she first one did.
ACC is hard to do.
Wow.
Shout out to them, for sure.
That's for you had your friends
open up recruitment letters.
But what about they weren't getting recruited?
How would that feel like if you was a friend?
Cause like when he used to open my letters,
he wasn't getting recruited.
So it was kind of like-
Hold on, Alicia, don't laugh.
I mean, they liked me because like,
a lot of my friends, they were like,
they knew they weren't going to college to hoop.
So it was just like, it was just for the joy of it.
Just to experience things with you.
Well, shout out to them friends that you had.
I'll be there with them sitting there,
breaking up envelopes for this thing.
Yo, T, where you wanna go?
I'm like, I don't know, open the next one.
That's crazy. No, but your high school record is crazy. 88 and four.
And you didn't even play much your senior year, right?
Cause of injury.
Yeah, I ain't played all my senior year.
So what?
So that's three years?
Yeah.
88 and four.
Like who was the best competition you played in high school?
Cause your class was good too.
Best competition?
Yeah.
I don't know, it's kind of hard.
I was kind of like head over water above everybody.
So.
Damn, you average 32.
You was putting that up.
You was a gun.
Yeah, I think seen y'all.
How many of us is you average?
I don't even have to. That's what you're for. Yeah, I think seen y'all. How many of us is you average? I don't even have to.
That was your fault.
Yeah.
We got the rebound.
We needed a score.
In high school, we needed me to score to win.
I ain't have to pass.
The girls who opened up the bell passed the ball.
Man.
I respect it.
Now we getting hard here.
I see how it work.
I see the ball.
Y'all with my letter that passed me the ball.
OK.
I respect it.
I have to get it.
As they should.
32 though is a lot of points.
Man, you always been a bucket getter.
That's what you do.
Yeah.
What you average in high school.
He played high school.
Y'all had similar positions.
He was like.
No, no, no, no, no.
She could have gone up in high school.
My lower half was just too big.
Yeah, you post up?
Yeah, I was a post up.
Come on, come to the blender.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
But you was the 10 and 10 guy in high school?
Yeah, I was a 5'10 power forward.
So we'd be the same height.
So I'd have cooked you.
I'd have to cook her.
I was a guardian high schooler.
Hey, they didn't send me in the post.
I knew my future was just involved in her future. I couldn't be a 5'10 post post. I knew my future was just involved in her future.
I couldn't be a 5'10 post player.
I knew my future.
Yeah, that's why he was on my letters.
Yeah, we got to the order to show him.
That's how my letters was getting opened.
He was 5'10, proud fool.
Obviously, gifted scorer.
Who taught you how to hoop like that?
Who put the ball in your hands early?
My dad.
He was a high school basketball coach.
So after school, me and my little brother
ride the bus over to his practice.
He'll set up like a little side goal
and me and my brother just hoop the whole practice.
And coach his kids, you know what I'm saying?
Shout out to Coach T.
You're him, Rask for sure.
What's your favorite part of your offensive game though?
What's your go-to?
I just like shooting the three.
Yeah, well you getting them up this year,
you ain't been that confident when you first got there.
You was only putting it up like two or three times.
Now you're about six or seven.
Yeah, I mean like, when you have a good fit,
you know it's for you.
I feel like within our offense,
it allows us to shoot a lot of threes
and I got the ultimate green light.
So if I'm open, I'm shooting out.
Like I don't even look to see what my feet is.
I just, if I'm open, I shoot it.
I don't know where I be at.
I just let that thing fly.
I like that.
I coach a kid like that.
For sure.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but I'll be like,
go on here and do your thing.
Now that had to have, like,
that's gotta be the best feeling ever,
to have that kind of green light and that confidence, man.
But you making it happen, because you're killing.
So that's, I mean, you can't hold anybody back.
I appreciate it.
So, that's definitely, we ain't gonna talk
about the first stop, you know what I'm saying?
We've treated that as a couple of redshirt years now.
You get to South Carolina.
Did you know you were joining, like,
one of the college basketball's biggest dynasties
when you made that transition?
What's crazy is, I originally wanted to go to South
Carolina out the gate but then I wound up going somewhere else. So then when I
decided to transfer from that school, South Carolina was at the top of my list. So I went
there and I knew me going to South Carolina I have a chance to win a
national championship and I'm close to my parents.
Like they were only two hours away.
So that was pretty cool.
Win-win.
Y'all had a whip there, you know what I'm saying?
I go there the first time though.
If I'm being honest,
Coach Staley, she built the program of
they really weren't where I wanted to be at the moment.
And then so I spawned the block.
Ain't nothing wrong with that, I done that a couple times.
Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that at all.
That's looking like where I wanted to be right now.
Now you're not waiting for me.
Now you got your shit together.
Live in Atlanta, let me get back to Andy.
He'll just spin that block.
You definitely just spin the block.
You know what, come on man, you gotta get back to Andy.
You gotta get back home, man.
For sure, go make it right.
Man, shout out to Ty Harris, Nap Town,
Spinosunet Squad, Asia.
Y'all had at whip.
Wasn't that, I understand why y'all won
the national championship, looking at all y'all now.
What was your role on the team though?
You know, score, shoot, help us win games.
That's already low, eh?
Yeah, fuck it.
She gonna throw that out there in front of the audience.
Yeah.
Did I shoot this motherfucker? Yeah. I don throw that out there in front of her. Yeah. And I shoot this motherfucker down in the head.
I don't even know.
Well, I'll come over there and let me know.
Let me know.
I'll come with y'all, boy.
Anytime you average 32 points, you a bucket.
Nah, for sure.
For sure.
What's that conversation like when you say, hey,
you know what I'm saying?
I know we didn't work out the first time,
but what you need?
Yeah.
Hey, she let me know at the gate.

So what happened at Chappaquiddick?
Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
There are many versions of what happened in 1969
when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond.
And left a woman behind to drown.
There's a famous headline, I think,
in the New York Daily News.
It's, Teddy escapes, lawn drowns.
And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you.
The story really became about Ted's political future,
Ted's political hopes.
Will Ted become president?
Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death
and how the Kennedy machine took control.
And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.
The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it.
So is there a curse?
Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.
Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
American history is full of wise people.
Well, women said something like,
you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea
and 1% is glory.
Those founding fathers were gossipy AF,
and they loved to cut each other down. I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions
about American history and I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history
has to offer.
Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar.
And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator
based on corruption.
My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said.
It would have been harder to fake it than to do it.

Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

Check out Behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club.
We go behind the scenes and explore the stories
of those involved.
San Diego coming to MLS is gonna be a game changer
because this region has been hungry
for a men's professional soccer team.
We need veteran players and we need young players.
Like you're building a team from scratch
and so the succession plan of long-term success
needs to be defined.
We need to embrace this community.
When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier
and we watched Paraguay against Chile, pouring rain,
just watching the fans jumping up and down.
I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me.
Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life.
Listen to San Diego FC Behind the Flow.
Now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, you got to let us know you coming here don't be entertaining no other schools.
Nah, she can't for real.
You got me.
Yeah, that's real. I didn was like, you got me. Yeah.
That's real.
I ain't play with you this time.
Yeah, nah, she ain't play with me.
She laid the hammer down this time.
I ain't finna play with you.
The first time I let you go, the second time,
you gotta stand up.
So you took a visit your first time?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
She had to make sure you wasn't bullshitting.
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
What kind of coaches she?
Cause you know, having her, you know,
be in the mix with getting the next job,
do you think she could coach like the males?
Yeah, I feel like what's cool about Kosei,
she's a players coach.
She cares about you being on the game of basketball.
Like even to this day, like I still talk to techs,
FaceTime, where they're like, she's just like,
she's for you.
For sure.
So I think yeah, she can coach any level.
That's dope.
Most definitely, man.
Like you said, she gets a lot of praise, man.
Shout out to Don Stanley, one of the best to do it for sure.
All right, go to South Carolina, handle business.
Now it's time to move on.
What's that feeling like getting drafted?
You know what's crazy?
I almost missed the draft deadline
because I had an extra year of college.
So we won national championship
and then I hadn't decided like if I wanted to declare a comeback another year.
So then I literally had like maybe like four fires to decide if I wanted to go
or not and then I met with the academic advisor and he was like well whether
you stay or go you'll graduate the same so I said hi and I'm out.
Oh yeah for sure.
Go follow the dreams.
If the NIL was crazy back then would you stay for that fifth year? whether you still go, you'll graduate the same, so I sit high and I'm out. Oh yeah, for sure. And go follow dreams.
If the NIL was crazy back then,
would you stay for that fifth year?
No.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey South Carolina.
But then, but hopefully, you know,
your deals follow you to the pros.
Yeah.
So, draft start high, I'm hot right now.
I probably would go, cause my draft start high.
I ain't gonna play with it.
I feel that.
I respect that.
Do you think, like for the ladies,
y'all should have to go to school that many years
before y'all enter the draft.
How you feel about that?
Well, honestly, if the pay and the W went up,
then I think you should decide.
But as of right now, I'll be smart and finish out my four years, get my degree.
Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, I know you see a lot of times,
like with Juju and stuff like that,
like, she gonna stay there full time or girl.
I'm like, well, I wouldn't be mad if she stayed
because they in IELTS is healthy.
Like you said, some of that stuff will travel
with certain people, probably her, obviously with Nike,
I don't think she's going to be a star regardless,
but for some other people, that's a simple decision.
No, I ain't back.
Yeah, if I didn't have no pro aspirations out there,
I'm milking all them COVID years, all that.
I'm milking all of that.
I like her.
She like it, you heard me.
Why not?
She's trying to keep them on that.
Yeah, I'm milking all that.
That was a good.
For sure, all right, obviously went crazy,
get drafted to Dallas, you know what I'm saying?
Shout out to the wings.
What's that transition period like
from playing it as an amateur to becoming a pro?
I mean, it was fun.
At first it was pretty eye-opening
because like in college you playing with your age range.
Then you get to pros, these women got families and babies
and mama strength and stuff.
Like you playing anywhere from 23 to down to 40.
So it's just like, it was different.
But when I first got a lead, definitely was eye opening.
All right, what's that rookie moment?
Like what's your, I'm official now.
What's that moment that play, what happened?
Well, I'm in my rookie year, first game of the season.
I was a starter.
I had to guard Diana Taurazi in her prime. And then next game, right, I had to guard Diana Taurasi. In her prime.
And then next game, right after,
I had to guard Simone Augustus and Maya Moore.
So I definitely got welcome.
And Maul hit a game winner, so in my face.
Who was the toughest Maul?
Simone Augustus got you for game?
That's tough.
Simone or Diana or Maya?
Maya Moore.
I mean, shew.
From a finesse like, get busy with it.
Yeah.
My own good.
She did have it.
That cross over to that midi.
You could hand right on her face,
she's still gonna make it.
And Maya, she just so smooth with her game.
She'll be like, I'm finna shoot this three,
and you know she about to shoot the three,
and she still cash it in your face.
So those are my welcome moments.
That's some hell of a welcome moment.
Yeah, in Boston City, I jumped to the stands.
It was bad.
I played against the Dynasty, Maya, LeMond,
and Lindsey Whelan.
Yeah, and then Le Whelan with the Blinks.
They won three or two. How many years they won it?
I know at least two for sure.
Yeah, they used to kick ass.
The Lynx was crazy.
As somebody who I wish,
I know with the W having a bigger audience now,
like, Lynx, we'll talk about that later.
I wish people could have really seen how cold
Simone Augustus was for those who don't understand
how good she is.
I wish they could have seen that team.
For sure. Like more people seen that team, they would fire.
Simone was the toughest girl you ever seen.
They got four, we got them messed up.
They were on four?
Yep.
That was the toughest ever, no matter on any level.
Crazy.
Kathy.
Kathy was nice.
Kathy Pundesson, man.
She was.
Kathy had that yai yai yai.
Yeah, she had that wickle wickle too.
Yeah, I was in it for my Ricky year.
When'd you start getting comfortable in the W though?
Comfortable?
I'll probably say around like my,
I've been in the league nine years.
Probably around like my fourth year, fourth, fifth year,
I felt like the game was starting to come to me
and the game was starting to slow down
and I could really like visualize the game.
Cause when I first came in from college,
like I'm all at one speed, like go, go, go, go, go.
And I remember assistant coach telling me that like,
you need to learn how to add a pace to your game.
So I think around like year four or five
is when it started to slow down and then from six on the nine.
It's been Christmas for sure.
They call you OG in the locker room?
Nah, I ain't that old now.
You ain't the oldest on the team.
I know Brittany there,
or office director, they call you OG.
Nah, I ain't old. Nah, I ain't old. They know Britney there, I'm just gonna ask if they call you over. Nah, nah, nah. Hold on now.
Nah, I ain't no OG.
Nah.
After year seven, you a super vet.
You a vet?
I take that, but I ain't no OG.
They ain't calling me OG.
They can't call you Auntie.
Nah.
Auntie, come get some shots of Titi.
Nah, nah, nah.
Titi's crazy.
Nah.
Do you take the rookies under your wing, though?
Yeah, but I'm more of a lead by example type of person.
I'm not vocal.
If I see you, I'd be like, you messed up here,
but you come to me and I help you out,
but I ain't one of those, like, I'm the head honcho here.
Like, you listen to me.
Gotcha.
Is there a big difference that you have been just
to your game to overseas and then when you were playing
in W, or is it kind of like, I'll just get buckets regardless?
Buckets regardless.
But I ain't stay long overseas.
Overseas won't fuck me.
Won't fuck me, it's too wicked.
I left in the middle of the season, you know,
that's what me.
What was so different about it?
It just was like a cultural shock.
Like, I guess like if I had,
it was just like construction being done at like 5 a.m.
I go to the trash, I throw the trash in,
cats jumping out at you.
So I'm chunking and running from the trash can.
It's just like, it was a cultural shock.
Like it was different.
Where were you at again?
I was in Israel.
Where about Israel though?
Yeah.
I mean, but I'm a homebody so.
You like me.
Yeah, I like stay home.
He told me I wouldn't survive over there.
Yeah, I just like play video games.
Cause we want to play once a week.
Okay, I don't know, you play video games.
What's your game?
I play, I play Cod a lot.
Okay.
I play Fortnite.
I used to be on the 2K wave.
Yeah, you gotta play with yourself.
In there, yeah.
You shoot every time? Oh yeah. Yeah. How many you averaging your on the 2K wave. Yeah, you gotta play with yourself. In there, yeah. You two every time?
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
How many of you averaging your season on the 2K?
About 90.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was that like when you see yourself in a video game?
Like, yo, baby, this man's just on fire.
No, it was cool.
You know, growing up, like, women weren't in, like, video games.
Yeah, yeah.
So, like, once we finally, like, got put in a video game, it was cool.
Like, anytime I get a chance to hoop myself, I'm hooping myself.
I feel that. That's what I be on.
You got to create your player. You put yourself up to 99?
No, I use my regular stats, but I just know my cadets and stuff.
Ah, you using your regular stats. You're better than my...
I was souped up. 99, everything, 99.
99.3, I'm out here.
Ain't no way.
I just turned the stamina off.
Oh wow.
You playing like my nephew.
Yeah, you cheating for sure.
No injuries, no fatigue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cheating.
That's dope, that's dope.
For sure.
Man, one of my favorite things about the game
might be you a bucket.
So watching you in a three on three was hilarious
cause you just got the cook.
Like I know that's a little bit different
than playing W.A. like, nah, just go kill.
Oh yeah.
Cause in the three on three is you on the island.
Yeah.
So you gotta learn how to get buckets
and you gotta learn how not to get buckets
going on you.
Cause you ain't got no help.
Yeah, no schemes.
Yeah, one Wibble Wobble to the basket is over with
and everybody get to see it.
So I gotta add that to my new little joint Wibble Wobble.
What's that?
What that Wibble Wobble look like?
Wibble Wobble.
Yeah, add that Wibble Wobble.
You ain't got no Wibble Wobble, get off my island.
Yeah.
That 303 is fire though.
That's fire part of the NBA with the WNBA.
They rock with that.
They need it for the NBA.
Well, start weekend.
Like at least 303.
If y'all ain't gonna run the 1s, run a 303.
That'd be smooth.
Yeah.
Ask you about that.
You pretty much want everything to also win.
Your challenge three, how would you feel
the WNBA started the 1s matchup?
That'd be fire.
Yeah, it'd be cool.
We'll have to put more rules in place
cause we did a 1v1 tournament on fire. Yeah, it'd be cool. We'll have to put more rules in place because we did a one-v-one tournament on rival.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was brutal.
They're going to have to split the posting guards up.
Yeah, that was.
I like that.
I know they should probably switch it up just for fairs,
but I like that everybody in the round,
who's going to get it the best?
I understand that, but like.
It ain't fair.
Yeah, nah, I can't guard no six five girl.
You just back me down the whole game.
Like.
I thought that was type of-
Yeah, but if they do it like that though,
they keep like that, just put a shot clock up though.
Just a quick shot, 15 seconds.
It was a shot clock.
It was a shot clock.
No, theirs was it.
They had-
I mean, what was it though?
It just wasn't like a dribble limit.
Somebody posted you up.
That's what they was doing.
That's what they was doing.
That's what they was doing like that.
Yeah, that's what was happening. That's what she said do. That's what they would do. That's what happened.
That's what she said they need to put in,
you know what I'm saying?
Put the curves and the bigs and the guards.
Or make it like three dribbles.
Yeah, we did three dribbles limit,
and I can play against anybody.
Yeah, yeah, you'll be more comfortable.
She'll get to it with three dribbles.
Yeah.
Now I was gonna say, what's that benefit like
of you starting off, you know what I'm saying?
Sometimes you had to go overseas
to get the extra bread between seasons.
Now you got a league like Unrivaled, and you know what I'm saying? You got Stars in there running, get Stars playing in there. What's it like like, you starting off, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes you had to go overseas to get the extra bread between seasons. Now you got a league-like arrival that you got stars in there running, get stars playing
in there.
What's it like to go have an off-season place where you can play against talent and get
to show a little bit more of your game as well?
I mean, it's nice.
I feel like that's what helped me have such a successful season.
I had this season in the off-season.
I get to train with top-level athletes, get to play against top level athletes,
the whole off season.
So I think it's smooth.
So then we come to the W season,
I'm like, I already know your cadence.
Now you out there doing research.
Okay, I'll see you out there scouting.
Yeah, I'll be thinking the game.
She on Kobe type song.
Please don't say Kobe.
No, that's what Kobe did.
Kobe will play you so he can figure out what you do.
There we go.
Yeah, so it's not a bad thing.
That'd be weird, Kobe Stance, for sure.
Listen, we said you got the joint song today.
What's it like, you know what I'm saying,
being a Nike athlete?
Oh, it's amazing.
You get all the free gear.
I like it, it's nice.
Yeah, that fit, cold.
Appreciate it.
What's that call like?
Did that come from your agent or, you know what I'm saying,
did you get the call person like,
hey, we trying to tap in, what's up with it?
Oh, my agent, they amazing.
Shout out to Clutch Sports, they hook everything.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Listen, you just have to-
I want him by the clutches though.
You just have to be in trouble, man.
Yo, man, that's a crazy single.
I love it.
Shout out to Clutch Sports, you know,
I've been at Clutch for the last two months.
Have you seen him at the Clutch Brunches yet?
Cause they still look for him.
Have you ever seen you with Clutch?
Oh, okay.
No. It's been the last three months.
Nigga, she don't know you.
So.
On the internet right now.
He's a Clutch player.
So everybody say I'm signing a clutch.
We shall figure it out.
I don't know when I signed, but.
What kicks you hooping in on the court?
What's your go-to?
Oh, the A1s.
Shout out to the teammate.
Yep.
That's fire.
Yep, I gotta give me a pair of those.
Yeah, I've been like in the waves of the signature shoes
for some of the W players.
She got Angel Reese, got her new joint out. You know what I'm saying the waves of the signature shoes for some of the W players. She got Angel Reese got her new joint out.
You know what I'm saying?
Sabrina been going crazy.
Cece got the PEs.
I just think it's dope, you know what I'm saying?
That they put more energy into that department
because truth be told, the last two years,
the women's side has kind of held it down
from Nike basketball for sure.
Yeah.
This basketball shoes period for real for real.
I know you about to get some PEs, huh?
You got some heat for the All-Star game?
You gonna see.
Oh great.
Yeah. Oh my man. Yeah.
Oh, my A1s.
What size shoe you wear?
My size.
She from the hood.
She quit.
She quit.
All right, I gotta ask you this.
Have you played in the NBA game?
How many points you think you'll score?
Do you think you'll score?
How many points you think you'll score? Do you think you'll score?
Yes, because everybody mess up on the defensive end.
So I can slide and find a gap somewhere to knock a shot down.
Or I can leak out and transition, get a layup.
I like the realistic on her.
She ain't say she'll ice hole nobody.
She said, I'm gonna find my way.
I know my game.
She might cross half court and pull up.
She can definitely shoot that thing.
So yeah, she probably get a three off for sure.
For sure, for sure.
All right, W Weekend.
What we looking like, you know what I'm saying?
You got a lot to defend this weekend.
How we feeling?
How we feeling, man?
I got my three point, I got you in a three point contest.
We just did it this morning.
Talk about this dragon. Keep playing, you know, sometimes be confident if I can tap in or not, you know what How you doing? I got my three point, I got you in a three point contest. We just did it this morning. I was just trying to keep playing, you know,
so I'm trying to be confident if I can tap in or not,
you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, how's life in the North?
I mean, I feel good.
You know, I'd go in there, I'd be chilling like,
cause I don't want to add no pressure to myself.
Like it is what it is.
I'm just here to have fun.
Yeah.
Do y'all compete in like,
I did the skills challenge before and we didn't,
we were competing, but not for real.
Are y'all trying to win for real
Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah money on the line. I go hard. Oh, okay. I like her man. Yeah
Yeah, so, uh, yeah safe to say she's gonna win all her events again
She's as crazy as to run through the league like that
Now that's fire
Damn you ain't tired
She's going to three point cards and everything.
And now you're an all star starter, you gotta go for MVP.
That'd be nice.
That'd be nice.
You gotta shoot seven threes.
Seven threes?
That's it.
Nah, you're the seven.
He's driving a Parlay right now.
He said, he said specific about.
Can't do that, can't do that to her.
We can't do that to her.
We can't work together with that.
I'm just telling her this,
when you out there, I need you to shoot.
Yeah, yeah.
About seven threes, and we gonna work with our chances.
No us is.
I need that to be 30 zeroes, zeroes, zeroes
at the end of the game.

So what happened at Chappaquiddick?
Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
There are many versions of what happened in 1969
when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond.
And left a woman behind to drown.
Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took
control. Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of
America's royal family.

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, a different type of podcast.
You, the listener, ask the questions.
Did George Washington really cut down on a cherry tree? Were JFK and Marilyn Monroe having an affair?
And I find the answers.
I'm so glad you asked me this question.
This is such a ridiculous story. You can listen to American History Hotline on the iHeart
