The F.A.B. Podcast presents the banned books episode! As you may know, the ladies love books..especially ones that have been banned! This week, Moni & Kat give a little history on "banned books week" and its significance. They also dive into some of the most banned books of all time, including the ones they have and want to review on the show. The ladies also discuss the current uptick in book banning in the US and it's significance. Get ready for an opinionated conversation about some of the most censored books in history...some audio bloopers, and the reason Moni's kids thought she smoked crack before!! Cheers!! Enjoy the show! ** Trigger Warning: Adult Content & Language, use of N-word etc. Please be advised this show is for adults 18 and up and the open minded.PSA:** When we refer to "white people" we are speaking about those who are socially accepted as "white" and are actively or passively upholding/defending/ and or benifiting from systems of oppression. This Quote from show sums it up : "Oppression restricts access to knowledge about the world around you" -Kat Dedication To our listeners always, to Librarians & storyteller for fighting for book access, and to the Iranian Woman (Mahsa Amini ) who died in custody of the morality police for a dress code infraction & national daughters day!! (Honorable mention to sex workers out there!) Also, pimps are the worst! ***"Mahsa Amini was 22. She was visiting Tehran from her hometown of Kurdistan. She was detained by the morality police, allegedly for violating the hijab rule, which became compulsory following the 1979 revolution. She was arrested on September 13. Three days later, she died. The police says that she had a sudden heart attack while in detention, but activists and others have said that she was tortured or beaten in the head, and that's why she died."

The Fake Ass Book Club is back again! No book this week. This week's review features the movie, "Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul''. Written, directed, and produced by Adamma Ebo, this film stars Regina Hall as Trinitie Childs – the proud first lady of a Southern Baptist mega church, who together with her husband Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown). Their ministry once served a congregation in the tens of thousands. After a scandal forces their church to temporarily close, Trinitie and Lee-Curtis must reopen their church and rebuild their congregation to make the biggest comeback that commodified religion has ever seen." Cue the drama! Moni and Kat get into the nitty gritty of "Black Church '' and the seemingly pervasive culture of greed, materialism, and homophobia plaguing so-called "mega churches". You won't want to miss this episode!! Bonus footage of this conversation will be available once our patreon launches in October. Stay Tuned for details!! (https://deadline.com/2022/09/adamme-and-adanne-ebo-with-daniel-kaluuya-discuss-1235108901/) _Trigger Warning: _Adult Content & Language, satire and religious critique, please be advised this show is for adults 18 and up and the open minded.

He died in 2017. *Stranger than Fiction: *Moni shared a story about a "levitating" visiting pastor at her husband's family church. His ascension happened so slowly (while being completely obstructed by the pulpit), that when his head peeked over the top and gradually became visible he looked like he was floating. It didn't help that he made a super weird and loud noise while making his assent think guttural moans while simultaneously slamming his hands down on the altar over and over. So weird! It was all too much and Moni had to retreat to the church basement quickly as not to lose it in the sanctuary in front of the entire congregation. Turns out he just used his walker to stand up and liked to put on a show. Why is she like this!!

Welcome back the F.A.B. Podcast!! This is the first episode of Season 2!! Moni and Kat are in the building (Cue the horns): The ladies kick off this episode reflecting back on the first year of their podcasting journey. Full of gratitude, Moni gives the longest dedication ever to some of their listeners and supporters, and Kat shouts out "Love, Death and Robots" for helping her maintain sanity. The ladies get started discussing the ups and downs of creating the show, along with what they are proud of and want to accomplish moving forward. True to form, the ladies take a few pit stops to discuss why people don’t like to read, SuperHead’s rebrand, and in Kat’s words the fact that “Kevin Samuels' heart exploded from gas station dick pills while he was, you know, smashing a chunky Latina”. Wow, that escalated quickly!! Enjoy the show. *Warning: This episode contains explicit language and adult content * Find us online at the link below: linktr.ee/Fabpod Dedication: This episode is dedicated to our family and friends who have shown support; our collaborators and listeners: Special shout out to: @ericdizzy, @buzzviralmarketing, @urbannerdbeats, @trezanayatkins, @varianthex, @stonetreestudios, @caspermerci, Guests: @sylviahubbard1,@apollyonyx, cuzimthattril @hillsofflowers,@brightfame4, @thepatdownpodcast @chrisspangle, @ebonythewriter, @fly.creator, Friend of the show and MUA Jasmine aka @blackmagicwombman, and her cousin Angel owner of @28botique for the sparkly clothes for our new look.
