This a one of a kind Indianapolis event was created by comedians, chefs, and food lovers Dyke Michaels and Zach Roan, also hosted by Thaddaeus McKee. The event celebrates culinary creativity by challenging participants to craft outrageous "cakes" made entirely of meat, blending food, comedy, and community into a truly unforgettable experience. As vendors, the Fake Ass Book Club hosts had the opportunity to introduce new listeners to the podcast, reconnect with familiar faces, make new friends, and even vote for the People's Choice winner. The experience sparked plenty of hilarious stories and, as longtime listeners have come to expect, sent the conversation down several entertaining tangents. The episode also kicks off with Moni surprising Kat with a completely unexpected gift. What was it? Maybe its a real cake! You'll have to listen to find out! Some episodes are carefully planned but this one simply goes where the conversation takes it, and that's exactly what makes it so much fun.

Confession time: urban fiction is not typically their preferred genre, which is one reason it took so long for them to pick up this book. After years of hearing readers praise the book as a modern classic, they decided it was finally time to see for themselves why this story has captured the hearts and minds of millions. Following the rise and fall of Winter Santiaga, the daughter of a wealthy Brooklyn drug kingpin, the novel explores money, power, survival, family, and the consequences of the choices we make. Two decades after its release, the book continues to spark conversation and inspire debate among readers. Were Moni and Kat won over by Winter's story? Did this classic live up to the hype?  The Coldest Winter Ever is often credited with helping bring urban fiction into the mainstream and remains one of the most influential Black fiction novels of the last 25+ years. Tune in as they share their honest thoughts on a book they never planned to read, but ultimately couldn't ignore. Cheers!

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years, due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist, Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature.

One sister, Effia, lives above the dungeon of Cape Coast Castle; the other, Esi, is imprisoned below and sold into American slavery. From that pivotal separation, the book follows their children and grandchildren across centuries, continents, and systems of power. Through alternating chapters, Gyasi explores the legacy of slavery, colonialism, identity, belonging, resilience, and generational trauma. Each descendant wrestles with the inherited shadows of the past, from plantations and Jim Crow to migration, incarceration, and cultural disconnection. The hosts unpack the book’s structure, thematic depth, and emotional resonance, reflecting on how history lives in individual lives long after its origins. It’s a layered, compassionate conversation that centers legacy, memory, and the ways personal story intertwines with collective history. Cheers!

From the era that brought viewers Flavor of Love, I Love New York, Jersey Shore, The Real World, and Paris Hilton’s reality TV dominance, the conversation explores how shock value, humiliation, and boundary-pushing became entertainment staples. At the center of the discussion is Tyra Banks’ assertion that she was simply producing the content audiences wanted more of. The hosts critically examine that defense, questioning whether demand absolves creators of accountability. They unpack how reality television shaped beauty standards, normalized problematic behavior, and blurred the line between competition and exploitation. From controversial challenges to moments that feel deeply uncomfortable in hindsight, the episode explores what responsibility producers hold when entertainment has real-world impact.*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.

Winans Church: 246fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-fab-burnout-episode-aita-work-edition--69419415This week, burnout is the starting point and everything else flows from there. The hosts unpack the exhaustion that comes from juggling work, life, and the constant pressure to stay functional in a world that rarely slows down. What begins as a conversation about overwork quickly expands into a broader discussion about labor, fairness, and preserving one’s peace. Inspired by a Reddit post about a Dutch employee pushing back against an American boss’s expectation to work nights and weekends, the ladies dive into a series of AITA: Work Edition scenarios. They weigh in on office culture, workplace boundaries, and the often-overlooked labor happening at home, questioning whose contributions are valued, whose are dismissed, and why. The conversation takes a detour into gender dynamics, emotional labor, and long-term relationships, including a reflection on whether people sometimes stay with abusive partners in the hope that time, aging, or change will soften them. Referencing Viola Davis’s Finding Me, the hosts explore the complicated idea of retribution, repair, and what accountability looks like when harm has already been done. Messy, honest, and reflective, this episode uses humor, judgment, and collective side-eye as tools for survival..because sometimes the best way to stay sane is to laugh, decompress, and judge strangers together. Cheers!!

In Straw, Tyler Perry delivers a tense psychological drama that explores the breaking point of a seemingly ordinary woman pushed to her emotional and moral limits. The story centers on a hardworking, mild-mannered single mother who has spent years quietly enduring life's burdens—strained relationships, financial hardship, and systemic inequities. But when one final, seemingly minor injustice occurs—the "last straw"—it unleashes a chain of events that challenges her identity, ethics, and the limits of believability!

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson. "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. Although, the ladies conclude people probably shouldn’t be in a hurry while learning about something as complex as astrophysics! Moni and Kat contemplate the enormity of the universe and what it means to exist at all. Tune in to an engaging discussion of the basic concepts of our universe while veering into Star Trek and other fun anecdotes. Enjoy!

In this thought-provoking episode, the ladies reimagine F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic, "The Great Gatsby," through the lens of a white passing black man. They also explore the enduring relevance of its themes in our modern world. Join the ladies as they unravel the intricacies of Jay Gatsby's journey, examining how the pursuit of the American Dream and the desire for reinvention continue to resonate universally. Drawing inspiration from Janet Savage's intriguing thesis, which posits Gatsby as white-passing, they delve into the idea of leaving behind one's roots in pursuit of an elusive dream. Tune in to join the discourse on whether leaving one's past behind in search of the unattainable is an inherently futile endeavor, and if those same forces are still at play today.

Moni: To build a legacy to leave behind as our greatest work of art.
Kat: To all the white passing folks who exerted their privilege to liberate others.
Ebony: To all the troublesome women making it hard for those trying to keep the BS going. They are the backbone of our society.

About our guest: Ebony Chappel https://linktr.ee/ebonythewriter
About the book: "WHAT IF JAY GATSBY IS A BLACK MAN PASSING AS A WHITE ONE? "Jay GATSBY, Black Man in Whiteface" expounds upon the thesis that Jay Gatsby, the much beloved hero of "The Great Gatsby", is a man of mixed black and white parentage who pretends and appears to be a white man. Through a close examination of the text, a review of F. Scott Fitzgerald's life and letters, the book explains how America’s troubled conscience about race laces through the novel."

About the book: "WHAT IF JAY GATSBY IS A BLACK MAN PASSING AS A WHITE ONE? "Jay GATSBY, Black Man in Whiteface" expounds upon the thesis that Jay Gatsby, the much beloved hero of "The Great Gatsby", is a man of mixed black and white parentage who pretends and appears to be a white man. Through a close examination of the text, a review of F. Scott Fitzgerald's life and letters, the book explains how America’s troubled conscience about race laces through the novel."

Notes: About the author OCTAVIA E. BUTLER :https://www.octaviabutler.com/theauthor
At the time of her death, interest in her books was beginning to rise, and in recent years, sales of her books have increased enormously as the issues she addressed in her Afro-Futuristic, feminist novels and short fiction have only become more relevant.

About the Book: Fledgling is the story of an apparently young girl with amnesia whose alarmingly inhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: (spoiler add air horn) She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted—and still wants—to destroy her and those she cares for, and how she can save herself. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of “otherness” and questions what it means to be truly human. https://www.octaviabutler.com/

Welcome back to the Fake Ass Book Club!!

They'll also examine the changes made in the transition from page to screen, the subtle nods to the original tale, and the artistic choices that bring this timeless story to life in the animated adaptation. Tune in so you can be part of Moni and Kat's review of this Disney classic!! Cheers!
