We open to the horrible news of the passing of rapper Fred The Godson to COVID-19. We send our condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

It has now been over a month since we've gone into our personal lock downs. With all that's happening around us we wonder if once this is all said and done, will our kids have been desensitized to the impacts of this pandemic?

We also welcome in George Spits of the Llama Beats crew to talk about his parenting adventures, smoking the marijuana, alcohol and what got him inspired to do the #rapdadchallenge on social media.
