All good things must come to an end, so it's also true with our month of comedic actors in dramatic roles. When good things come to an end, you have to go out with a bang, and we do! This week we watched Stranger Than Fiction the 2006 Will Farrell film that co-stars Emma Thompson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Queen Latifa, and Dustin Hoffman. In this film we meet Harold Crick (Farrell) a cardboard boxed personality of a man that works for the IRS who hears narration in his head one day and finds out he's going to die. If you haven't seen this film, you've got to. So, sit back, relax and listen to our thoughts on 2006's Stranger Than Fiction. And no, this title is not indicative of our current societal climate. It's just a coincidence.Support the show

Welcome back!! Love is in the air this week as the ladies discuss Netflix's romantic comedy "Entergalactic."!! Kid Cudi & Kenya Barris's animated film introduces "an ambitious artist, Jabari, attempting to balance success and love after he moves into his dream Manhattan apartment, and falls for his next-door neighbor." (Netflix) This is not a typical movie... more an artistic expression of storytelling through music and colorful visuals. What an experience! The ladies ultimately conclude that "Entergalatic" is visually stunning *stoner *film. A couple of highlights from this episode: Kat might have a crush, Moni didn't know Kid Cudi's real name, Moni & Kat agree it's a bad idea to smash your neighbors, and navigating corporate jobs, especially as Black artist, is especially painful!!

Welcome back!! The F.A.B. crew is ** finally** ready to board the ship to review sci-fi novel "Aftermath" by living legend, Levar Burton! This week's story takes the ladies into the future...or past, they can't tell. Published in 1997, this story is set in the years between 2015-2018. So the book is from the 1900's just like Moni and Kat, but still around today! Both Classics!! The plot is as follows "Civilization is teetering on the edge. The first African American president is assassinated by a white extremist—just four days after he is elected. The horrific tragedy leads to riots, financial collapse, and ultimately, a full-on civil war." (fable.co) Listen as they unpack the similarities of race relations of today, why Moni didn't finish the book and the fact that Kat would absolutely make sweet love to the person who rescued her (hypothetically from an organ harvesting, skin grafting murder factory) ....and why Moni wouldn't! Cheers! Trigger Warning: Most of our episodes contain spoilers, adult content & language. References to sexual assalt/rape, racism/child abuse. Please be advised this show is for adults 18 and up and the open minded. We are not professionals, or educators or journalists...just friends having candid conversations. **Dedication: To our listeners, future patrons, Black hair, and Kat's mom... and all moms who go hard in the paint! **About the Book *:"The United States of 2019 is a very different place. Economic depression, an enormous earthquake, and the assassination of a black President-elect have turned the country into a war zone. Four people, each as different and troubled as the next, are the nation's last hope. But can they overcome the devastation and build a new world?" -Good Reads About the Author: ***https://levarburton.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeVarBurton#Awards, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeVarBurton Show Notes: FAB Awards!!!

Welcome back! This week the ladies reviewed "Mexican Gothic" by Silvia Moreno- Garcia. (Warning, this episode contains spoilers for the book.) In this book, a family of in-bread colonizers living in a mold laced haunted mushroom house in the Mexico City country side, try to hold main character Noemi, and her cousin, Catalina hostage in this creepy hellscape. The Doyle family, originally from England, planned to use the women's wombs as incubators. The goal?... An effort to diversify their incestuous gene pool, while simultaneously preserving the twisted patriarch's tainted bloodline in an effort to obtain immortality! Gross and weird! It's giving serious Lord Voldermort vibes!!! Of course Kat finds a way to slide in a Star Trek reference, and they also have a fundamental disagreement on what they would have done at the end of the book. Tune in to find out what had the ladies divided! *Dedication: To the listeners: * To our listeners always, to indigenous people all over the world and the Latinx community and finally Kat's late father, that dude Buster.

Ralph has been researching the history of religion and the megalithic era for more than 40 years, and has brought many lost truths back to life. His eight books on revisionary theology claim to have rediscovered and identified all of the Old- and New-Testament events and characters within real history. With most of that history being based in Egypt. However, Ralph's first books explored the henges of Britain and pyramids of Egypt, and came to some equally unique and compelling conclusions. He claims that the megalithic monuments encode astronomical and cartographical information within their designs, which not only demonstrate the ancients had a great deal of technical knowledge, but also provide us with megalithic maps of the Earth. However, the precise meaning and import of those ancient maps is still unknown. - www.edfu-books.uk Now listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X' Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X' Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewpaper.com

In this show, Dennis Noel Kavanagh, of the Queens Speech Podcast and Dennis Noel Kavanagh Substack walks us through the Mermaids UK charity scandal, unfolding as we speak. * He also helps us answer the following questions, answers we should take seriously, and treat as lessons we can use to prevent worse horrors being visited on American children:* How did charities like Mermaids get started and gain so much support so fast?* What do we mean when we talk about “grooming” and “misinformation” when it comes to “gender care?”* How do gender/queer theorists and groomers hide their toxic predation from average, everyday people, parents especially, and why is it legal when they do* How is gender theory homophobic?* What do we mean when we call the “trans” craze a “cult?”* Why are we so damn afraid to open our mouths and challenge gender and queer theory (and what IS “queer theory”)?* Why isn't it enough to get gender theory out of the schools, and how can parents safeguard their children wherever they are?We are truly blessed to have Dennis speaking out on this topic, and I sincerely hope you will listen to this show and share it with at least one other person!Parents especially need to reclaim their role as #1 EXPERT in their child's life, even when they don't know what to do themselves. They should hand-pick ALL the other adults who have any access to their children, especially when they are confused and hurting! As Dennis says, if you wouldn't hire them to babysit your kids while you go out to dinner, you shouldn't allow them to “treat” your child's mental illness!Dennis Noel Kavanagh is a former criminal barrister and now legal commentator, he is one of the three directors of the "Gay Men's Network", a not for profit organization fighting modern forms of homophobia. He joins me to discuss the willful manipulation and conversion of vulnerable children by the Mermaids "charity in the UK. We'll discuss what if anything we can take from this scandal in our fight to protect American kids from the same fate.

Welcome back! This week the ladies tackle a story on the Banned Book list., "All Boys Aren't Blue" by George M. Johnson. This book contains a series of personal essays and reflections from Johnson's past that walk us through his journey growing up as a queer Black boy. Moni and Kat unpack the sometimes performative nature of gender and fquestion "why some people are willing to disown their own children solely based on their sexuality"?.. They also ponder whether their families would accept them if they were queer. After weaving through themes of virginity, consent, molestation, community, family and ultimately finding self acceptance, they end up right at the where they started.... In the words of the author "We are not as different as you think, and all of our stories matter and deserve to be celebrated and told". Here here!! On that note...sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

As medications for tuberculosis became available, the need for the sanatorium waned. While the transition to nursing home care began in the 1950s, by 1971 it officially became a St. Louis County nursing home, known as Nopeming Nursing Home. By 2002, the county made the decision to close the facility, ending another chapter of Nopeming's history. Just a few years later, a new chapter began when the building was purchased by Frank Vennes Jr., a Twin Cities businessman now serving prison time for his involvement in Tom Petter's Ponzi scheme.

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!!

They're deathless and precise. They have the power of giving you joy and perspective in hard times. Or, they can strangle you. Define you in a way that's based more in other people's tucked-up perceptions than truth.” “I am a dark-skinned woman. Culturally, there is a spoken and unspoken narrative rooted in Jim Crow. It tells us that dark-skinned women are simply not desirable. All the attributes that are attached to being a woman-desireable, vulnerable, needing to be rescued-don't apply to us. In the past we've been used as chattel, fodder for inhumane experimentation, and it has evolved into invisibility.” ― Viola Davis, Finding Me *Stranger than Fiction: * Follow up on Shinzo Abe Assassination: https://www.npr.org/2022/07/09/1110674313/japan-shinzo-abe-assassination-what-we-know KC pastor berates congregation over watch: https://nowthisnews.com/news/pastor-berates-broke-congregation-for-neglecting-to-buy-him-a-luxury-watch Warning: Adult Content & Language, please be advised this show is for adults 18 and up and the open minded.

The Broads needed a break so we are re-releasing an oldie but a goodie about what a board interview entails. We will be back next week with new content and more great information. New York City is a unique place to buy real estate. Most of the housing stock are co-ops that require a buyer as the last step in the sales process to be interviewed by your neighbors known as the board. Hence, the dreaded "board interview" where buyers often have to grovel, donate their firstborn, or don an outfit that does not involve yoga pants. You may have heard horror stories about this. Well, we are here to tell you, they are all true. You've gotten this far with one more hurdle to go. Do you make it to the finish line?  We're talking about what to expect when you go before a co-op board for the interview in order to purchase the home of your dreams. Some questions are mundane, others can be off-putting. We'll prepare you for the unexpected and make sure you nail that interview. A few things to remember is that you will need to be prepared for anything, dress casual is best, don't ask any crazy questions, and get ready to be your most boring self who will happily answer questions with the end goal in mind. The goal being to get that approval from the board so that the next step is to close! These are the tips and tricks you can learn when you're working with a great agent who is going to get you through the process. If you have any other questions about the board interview or anything else please reach out to us at www.therealestatebroadsofnewyork.com or email us at deniseandsharon@compass.com. Subscribe to The Real Estate Broads of New York on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and Spotify so that you never miss an episode, and let us know if you have any questions or topics for future episodes you'd like us to discuss.

Hello again FAB FAM!! This week the ladies take a trip to "The Midnight Library", a novel by Matt Heig, which explores all the choices that go into creating a life well lived. Despite a hectic week, Moni and Kat push through with their trademark motto of "cult leader confidence" to discuss just that! There are so many questions to unpack like, what does it mean to have a good life? Better yet, are people even capable of realizing the apex of their life's potential? Or, are people doomed to live life in pursuit of ultimately empty status and the approval of others only to evade their own joy? Whew, creating joy is hard work! Alas, between Moni's exhaustion enduced stutters, they manage to discuss mental health, suicide, quantum physics, parallel universes, and of course the traditional Star Trek refenece by Kat. Consistantsy folks!! Moni and Kat have everything you didn't know you needed right here!! Tune in and enjoy the conversation...Cheers!

A group of African children are being instructed, by a voice off-camera, to chant phrases in Chinese. The kids repeat the words with smiles and enthusiasm — but they don't understand that what they're being told to say is “I am a black monster and my IQ is low.” The clip ignited outrage in China and beyond.
