61: I Ain't Scared of U

Known as one of the Original Kings of Comedy (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0236388/) with Steve Harvey (https://steveharvey.com/about-steve-h...) , D.L. Hughley (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0401018/) , and Cedric the Entertainer (https://iamcedric.com/) —the legendary comedian, Bernie Mac (https://berniemacfoundation.org/his-s...) , is now featured in a book of inspirational quotes and daily motivations called, “I Don’t Care If You Like Me, I Like Me (https://www.google.com/books/edition/...) .” A native of Chicago, Bernie Mac developed a comedic style of storytelling that was aggressive, honest, and straight-up, in-your-face humor that only he could uniquely pull off or get away with onstage and onscreen. His wife, Rhonda McCullough, (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1743001/) held on to old tapes and vintage recordings of the Emmy award-winning actor to construct the book where each day of the year features an interesting quote of affirmation in the voice of Bernie Mac. Join Host Eddie Robinson (https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/st...) as he speaks candidly with his wife, Rhonda McCullough, about why she chose this format to pay tribute to her late husband, who died in 2008 from complications of a disease known as sarcoidosis. I SEE U (https://iseeushow.org/) also chats unguarded with the master impressionist who served as the narrator of the audiobook, comedian Reggie Reg (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2092814/bio) .
