Powell’s POV: I believe this is the first child for Tony and his wife. Congratulations to the happy family.

OMG EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS HAS TO BE POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
So sad “family” stuff isn’t “family” stuff, it’s “I HAVE TO POST THIS SO I CAN GET ATTENTION FROM STRANGERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA!” stuff.
OMG, YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS WAY TOO OFTEN! Shame on Tony D for being proud of his son’s birth. Welcome back, Angry Mike.
