About this listen

 First & Foremost is a dynamic conversation based show hosted by Kenny and Day Day from The Father's Group. Expect at least two shows a month with the occasional special episode! What will we be discussing? What it's like to live, work, and (try to) relax in Central Oregon while being Black! With a population of ~1%, the vibe of this town can sometimes put you through it while other times give you deep hope! Join us as we discuss culture, food, the non-profit sector, day to day experiences along with some great interviews of Black Central Oregonians as well as Friends of the organization! This show will often times be raw at times but will also have a heavy level of humor mixed in each episode. Regardless, some of the content may contain some pills that are hard to swallow... But if we have to live in this reality, life doesn't sugar coat for anyone. And Neither will we!2024 Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary

    Episode 69 - Cold Cuts & Guillotines
    Mar 12 2026

    Hey Fam! This episode starts out pretty serious with a story from Kenny in regards to an experience he encountered recently with a racially aggressive driver and how it rekindled an idea that The Father's Group had a few years ago around the time of the murder of George Floyd and the upheaval that we experienced in this country in 2020. The Father's Group is launching a program called Drive with Dignity and we talk more about how the program is going to work on this episode. We will be posting a link soon on how to contribute to this program to get Dashcams into the cars of POC across Central Oregon to be able to provide ways to keep record of incidents that they encounter while out and about. We also cover some topics that are current nationwide, a trip to the past and how it relates to the present, and much more.

    Other Topics covered in this episode:

    * Boogedy Boogedy Boo...
    * Drive with Dignity
    * Rationalizing Racism
    * Check That Dude's Basement
    * RaptureCore
    * So Many Guillotines
    * Put The Phones Away
    * Hat & Glasses Off Episode
    * Past the Verge of WWIII
