I feel like a lot of Black people are the, sometimes the one Black friend in their circle.

You know, so there's a lot of one Black friends right now getting text messages from their White

friends, you know, like I'm sorry or how could I help and it's like I don't know what to tell you.

Hey guys, doing something a little different this week given that America is on fire.

Um, I have been reflecting on how I can contribute this podcast and this platform and I wanted to

highlight the voices of three Black comedians whose work I really, really love and I chose to do that

because I think something that we don't talk enough about is consuming the work of Black artists

and uh, that's what I want our listeners to do. You should also donate if you can. I've donated to

reclaim the block and I've been asking all of the guests what books they recommend. The book that

I'm going to recommend is Tana Hasey Coates, the water dancer, really incredible. And the

comedians that we have on this episode are Jordan Fisher as seen on the tonight show in Comedy

Central, Alicia Brown as written up in Vulture and I guess that we've had before, Jay Jerdin,

tonight show Comedy Central HBO. Three really wonderful Black artists follow them, consume their work

and then branch out and consume the work of other Black artists. So thank you for listening.

Please donate, please safely protest and uh, stay safe. Oh and we love you.

So basically this is a rerecord because Zoom lost our, our recording because it's,

it's both homophobic and racist. That's double whammy. Honestly, that first one was so I felt

impassioned. I was like, yes, yes, yes, articulate. It was perfect. And you know what, if this is a

piece of shit, we can blame it on Zoom. But that's a problem when you come back and do a recording

right after you're not fresh. Like even if we could wait like two weeks, it would be so much better

but we have to do it right now. Okay, you thought it would be better? No, I mean that,

that first woof man, first time like honestly, this is all I want to think about and talk about.
