In honor of National Brisket Day (May 28), we had a little discussion about our journeys to a healthier weight, using Ketovore and medically-supervised diets.

May is National Foster Awareness month, so we're talking about how Daree's daughter was a target for trafficking, the connection between foster care and sex trafficking, and ways we help these causes.     Reach to us:   @thecmonsonpod [email protected] Voicemail: 757-204-5495  

Reflecting on all that has changed since a year ago (lockdown), we're covering:

• People who resist wearing face masks
• Getting the COVID-19 vaccine even though Daree doesn't do shots
• Movies that now stream instead of being shown in theaters 
• Not 1, but 2 new cars for Daree 
• Working remotely and missing human interaction
• Virtual school
• Limited group exercise classes and capacity limits at the gym

It's a tribute to the iconic Biggie Smalls and his music, as we review the new Netflix documentary, "Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell." It's the 24th anniversary of his death, and this episode has lots of spoilers.  We also discuss other hip hop greats we lost too soon, our favorite Biggie songs, and that time Daree saw him perform at a 1995 Bad Boy concert.

The media may want you to think Britney Spears is crazy.  We beg to differ.  #FreeBritney   In this episode, we react to the gaslighting frenzy surrounding Britney's career and her conservatorship with her father in control, as described in the New York Times documentary, Framing Britney Spears.  (Spoilers throughout-- this is a complete recap.)   We also break down Justin Timberlake's pithy apology to her and and Janet for throwing them both under the bus using his white male privilege.  But first, a word about hip hop's latest loss, the passing of Fat Boys' member Prince Markie Dee.

In our two decades of adulting, we've had quite a few cars.  We're sharing stories and our favorite memories about them.  The car stories begin with Daree's first car, which she had for less than 2 hours before it was destroyed!   What's your favorite car of those you've owned?   Eastern Motors jingle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjpV8SgJ2gQ&ab_channel=EasternMotors
