Up Next: "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us?

"Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" is an exploration of the vast universe and the fundamental concepts of astrophysics. Tyson takes readers on a journey through space and time, discussing topics such as the origins of the universe, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the lives of stars, black holes, and the search for extraterrestrial life.The book presents complex ideas in a way meant to be easy to understand for readers with little to no background in astrophysics.

Happy Valentine's Day!! This week Moni and Kat review the novel "Erasure" by Percival Everett. The story follows Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, a black author frustrated with the commercial success of stereotypical hood-spolitation fiction or "ghetto fiction." In response, he wrote a parody of this genre called "My Pafology," under the pseudonym Stag R. Leigh. Unexpectedly, "My Pafology" becomes a sensation, leading Monk to confront questions of authenticity, exploitation, and the commodification of black culture. Tune in as the ladies unpack what it means to be a black storyteller. Cheers!

Welcome back F.A.B. Fam!! This week Moni and Kat finally review "Killers of the Flower Moon" by David Grann. The novel revolves around a series of mysterious murders targeting the Osage Indian Nation in the 1920s. The Osage, having discovered oil on their land, became immensely wealthy. However, this newfound prosperity attracted greed, leading to a string of murders that shook the community. The book follows the investigation led by the newly formed FBI, under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover, as they uncover a complex web of conspiracy, corruption, and betrayal. If you love true crime, this book is a historical whodunnit that will leave you forever changed!

Moni: To the Osage Nation you deserved better, we honor your story.
Kat: To "nice white people", because it takes courage to stand up for other people's rights.

Join the ladies for a Fake A$$ episode this week they dive into the explosive three-hour podcast interview on Club Shay Shay with ESPN First Take correspondent Shannon Sharpe. Comedy legend Katt Williams holds nothing back as he makes outrageous claims, airs personal grievances with fellow comedians, and dives deep into various aspects of his career. Williams discusses alleged encounters with Harvey Weinstein, accuses comedians like Kevin Hart and Cedric the Entertainer of professional misconduct, and takes shots at figures like Kanye West, Steve Harvey, Diddy, and more. The interview quickly went viral, sparking memes, jokes, fact-checking, and responses from some of the targets, leading to a broader discourse on exposure for young Black comedians. Williams covers a range of topics, from Hollywood gatekeepers to personal experiences, creating a must-watch/listen, eyebrow-raising interview that has ignited a storm of online discussions including the one on today's show!! You don't want to miss this conversation. Cheers!
