It’s Water Week at the Undefeated, so for the next few days we’ll tackle the topic of water and swimming in black culture. In honor of the week, Justin wrote this piece on his near-death experience at the pool when he was a teenager. He goes into further detail about the story on the podcast, accompanied by thoughts from Clinton and Jill on what swimming has meant to them over their lifetimes.

The discussion heats up surrounding the topics of 29-year-old rapper Bow Wow’s retirement announcement and the news of 49-year-old R&B artist R. Kelly’s relationship with a 19-year-old woman. One member of the crew respects R. Kelly’s music, but can no longer listen to it given the artist’s perplexing past.

Last but certainly not least, a new segment titled Missed Connections with Miss Karin debuts this week, in which Undefeated copy chief Karin Berry reads entries from the “Missed Connections” section of Craigslist.org and provides her own commentary. Keep a lookout for this segment on future podcasts.
