I’m so happy to share with you all my baby girl Ava Marie Douglas. She was born today at 12:40 central time. She weighs 6lbs 15.5 ounces and she is 21 inches long. She has a beautiful head of hair, unlike her pops. I love her so much. Mom and baby are doing fine, I have an iv of Mt. Dew in and am recovering. My little girl is only one day old and already a tv star. Click here to see video and an interview with a proud pappa.

Bertone was able to snap some pictures of folks from the various Spider-Man cartoons. First up is Spectacular Spider-Man producer Greg Weisman. He’s been on the podcast several times and such a nice guy.

We also have Sara Ballantine who voiced Mary Jane in the 1990s cartoon. She even recorded a podcast opening that says, “Face it tiger,  you just hit the Crawl Space jackpot.” She agreed to be a guest on a future podcast.

And one of my personal favorites Dan Gilvezan who voiced Spider-Man in the “Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends.” He also was the voice of Bumblebee in the 1980s Transformers cartoon. He too agreed to be on the podcast in the future.Kevin will love this, Dan is wearing a Green Lantern t-shirt.

Bertone was able to track down Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott to hold up the sign. You’ve gotta admit, he was a good sport to do this. I told Bertone to tell  Slott that he could rip it up for the  shot, instead he decided to hold it upside down.
Now gang, no personal attacks in the comment section on this one. You will get warned and then banned just like on the message board.

Bertone had a chance to talk to Stan Lee last night at the San Diego Comic Con. He asked Stan to congradulate me on the birth of my baby girl Ava Marie and he did it. This is the coolest thing. To clarrify we haven’t had the baby yet, but this will be the opening of the August podcast. Stan is sooo cool!
