1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is Halloween, but it is also free comedy Friday.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that, okay. And this is always very

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: special to me because we have known mal Hall for

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: like twenty years. I mean honestly, now, I used to

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: work in the building. And Mela is a headlining comedian now,

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: which I think is so awesome. And Mela is performing

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: this weekend at the La Jolla Comedy Store. Go see him.

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of shows tonight, a couple of

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: shows tomorrow. Right, is that right? No shows tonight? Oh

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: that's actually smart. It's actually smart. I thought Jamie made

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: a mistake. I'm like, wait, I'm Halloween, Like, okay, Mel's

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: going to be performing for like two people. So it's

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: two shows on Saturday and a Sunday show. That is correct. Okay,

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: that's actually legit. That makes sense better? Yes, yes, yes,

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: So what's we got a wild situation going on right now?

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: Because not only is Mel a headlining comedian, he's also

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: a proud father and we have a baby in here

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: with us and it's not Thors so this is great.

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: This baby is the same size as stories. You got

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: a big one baby?

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: As of last Saturday, he was ten pounds four ounces.

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're poor.

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't move right now, like legitimately.

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, she has like the pregnancy wattle.

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: Don't tell her I said that.

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh she knows has been popping out kids left and right. Yeah, yeah,

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: where do we have? Fifteen? Sixteen?

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: Sixteen?

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how many three? Only three? Okay,

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: it just seems like they were coming out left and right.

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: You know we we uh, the dispersion was very close.

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: You got you took care of business close to six

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 2: three and one. Are you glad you did it that way?

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: Or are you rethinking that? To be honest, I wish

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: I had kids in high school. You ever see people

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: that have had kids in high school and now they're forty,

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: All their kids are out crazy and they have energy

39
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: to do the stuff that they like.

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: That's very true.

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: This kid is one. Yeah, so that means in what

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: eighteen years, he'll he'll be graduating high school almost sixty

43
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: years old.

44
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,639

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: one's super chilling. I thought the peep. We could have

68
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: done this interview without mentioning that he was here, and

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 2: no one would.

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,080

Speaker 2: Yeah, my daughter is the complete opposite of both of

75
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: my sons. Really, if she was here, she let it

76
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: be known, it would be no.

77
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: I started the show chimp in the studio growing up,

78
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,160

Speaker 2: You know, she's Beyonce for sure. She hired a guy

00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: to walk around with a fan to follow.

87
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,159

116
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,920

118
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,840

00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: I mean what? I did a podcast in LA on

120
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: Tuesday and they wanted me to dress up on the podcast,

121
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: so they gave me a wizard beard and wig, and

122
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: so I brought it home.

123
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,880

125
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: it's in the fantasy realm. I'm a little disappointed, to

126
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: be honest. You could have called it your boy here,

127
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,280
