Hey everybody, I just want to let you know that this is a very
important episode. With the climate the way it is, there is no way
Adriana and I would want to talk about anything else right now.
There is a struggle that has been going on for over four hundred
years in this country, and is really brought to the forefront right
now. We don't have to agree politically to agree that human rights
matter. On the show today, we have Rhodes Pierre. He has been good
friends with Adriana for 20 years. And I have known him from
parties that Adriana has thrown over the years, as well as her
wedding, which Rhodes officiated. Among many things he does, as you
will hear, Rhodes is a stand-up comic. So, I had originally wanted
to have him on to talk about the comedy world during this
Coronavirus. Then everything literally blew up with the murder of
George Floyd. We do touch on the comedy a bit here. But, the main
focus is Rhodes' experiences as a Black man. The best thing we can
do right now is listen. So, leave your opinions and judgments at
the door, and listen to what Rhodes has to say. And don't worry,
it's not all serious..cuz you know... Adriana...and if you know
Rhodes...well, Rhodes.
And one last thing...I will donate $2 for every download of this
episode from now until next Friday, June 19 to Showing Up For Racial Justice and to
the Providence NAACP. It will be a $200 max. So please
download and share.
Just one more note, about midway through, there are some audio difficulties for a very short time that I could not edit out. It may be around 20 minutes in, and doesn't last very long. Alright, now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
