Welcome back to the Fake Ass Book Club!! This week the ladies follow up with Amber Ruffin and her sister Lacy Lamar to talk about their new book,"The World Record of Racist Stories"!! Sounds super hilarious, right?! This compilation of real life everyday encounters with racism will make you laugh, cry, and feel kinda uncomfortable. With alarmingly accurate detail and sharp wit, Amber and Lacey manage to entertain, while simultaneously raising awareness that racism isn’t always a cross burning in your yard, but sometimes more insidious. You know...like a lady touching your hair right after microaggression training at work (which explicitly stated it's gross, inappropriate and wrong) and saying "see, that wasn't so bad, was it?"... just whyyyy?! If you want to hear more on how racist stories can be funny and infuriating all at the same time, you're in the right place!! Cheers!!

🥂Up Next: The Best Man:The Final Chapters📚 The Best Man is an iconic romantic drama that follows college friends during the weekend before one of their buddies gets married….and the rest is cinematic history!!!The new series picks up two years after that sequel, Best Man Holiday. It follows the crew from 2015 to the present day. The ladies reviewed the series along with 2 time guest @fly_creator, videographer and host of Da Fly Zone podcast. Listen as Fly explains why he felt a connection to Harper’s character at one point. Meanwhile, Kat disembowels Harper's character throughout the show with the fierceness of a mountain lion, while Moni is convinced that everyone one is trash in some way or another.
