Hi, everybody, and welcome back to Rice to Meet you, you're a comedy podcast about Asian culture.

Now, before we start, I just want to take some time to share some feelings about the

senseless attack that happened in Atlanta last week.

Because even though it happened in the United States and I'm here in Europe,

witnessing and experiencing the exponential rise in hate crimes towards the easy community

over the past year in America and in Europe, and especially the UK where I'm based,

has been nothing short of terrifying.

And if you, like me, have felt frustrated about what to do, we've collected a few links

for you in the description below to resources such as information and support and also donations

that you can make to local communities and national and international organizations who are

actively working to combat this.

This is our 100th episode, and we don't talk about this in the episode because we pre-recorded it

before last week's events.

So that's why I wanted to take some time to talk about it with you now.

And to our EC community in America. We see you,

we hear you,

and we're with you.

And now on with the show.

I'm serious about the whole

good with money thing,

man.
