The Weekend MetPod with MORTON, KALEB and KONG

I don't know what happened in this podcast, but we all seemed to be in a funny mood, everybody's getting a little silly. However, DON MORTON does manage to step up to the plate and offer his highly-anticipate movie reviews -and- musician, KALEB JAMES gives us information about some of the hottest acts and artists headed our way. PLUS... yours truly and DON MORTON walk the Roppongi gauntlet with a concealed mic to see if the new signs posted by police (which threaten bar-pimps with a "punnishment") are working.
