Our very good friend, comedian Marcella Arguello, joined us in studio this week to promote her new HBO 1/2 hour special called "Bitch, Grow Up". If you've seen me live over the past 10 years, you've probably seen her opening for me here and there. She's funny, she's tall and she's making Salvis proud. By the way, we were doing this show during a crazy winter storm. Might be some glitches along the way as our internet stream was interrupted a couple times.
