It is still cold- I am still complaining about it. And to make matters worse producer Anthony Dorunda is involved in a bet-so he is wearing shorts today! He says he is cold. The Pod is choosing to ignore his complaints.

"A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized." ~Fred Allen
