The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Okay, now ladies.

Welcome to the pregame.

Hey guys, Kayla, Nicole here.

And welcome to another episode of the pregame.

I'm going to introduce today's guest.

Today on the pregame, we have actor, producer, and creator, Melvin Gregg in the building.

From his breakout days as one of Vine's biggest stars to stealing scenes in Snowfall, American Vandal,

and the United States versus Billy Holiday, just to name

a few. Melvin has proven he's way more than just funny videos, y'all. He is a force in

Hollywood. And now he is back on our screens and his latest role on the new show, The Paper. So

today, we're diving into the evolution of his career. We're going to talk about fatherhood and what it really takes to keep reinventing yourself in an industry that is always watching. So, Melvin, welcome to the pregame. Thank you. That was good. Thank you so much. Did I improve? Did it get better as I went along? I'm impressed. No, I was good from the beginning. You were saying good stuff, so I was intrigued. Oh, period. Well, I'm so happy to have you here. Thank you. I know you don't do a lot of this kind of thing often. Yeah. So it means a lot. I appreciate it. Typically, we tell the people what we're drinking, which is usually a cocktail. But today, we've got some good old H-2O for you, Melvin. Yeah, it's Sunday. Yeah. It's midday, you know. But you're not someone who typically drinks, though, right? I drink socially, but, like, socially, like one or two. That's it. Like, you're not going to catch me drunk. Right. It's not your vibe. And I respect that. I respect that about you. Honestly, I'm taking a couple pages out of your book. I got to get on your level. But we're

going to jump into things. The first quarter today, if you're not familiar with the show, it's called ketchup and yap. So we're going to do a little icebreaker because the people want to catch up and yap with you, Melvin.

Okay.

We want to chit chat.

So the game that we're going to play today is called

Roll with it or cut the scene.

So I'm going to play today is called roll with it or cut the scene.

So I'm going to give you a couple scenarios and you're either going to say roll with it or cut it and tell me why.

Is this a film theme because I'm here or is always roll with it and cut the thing?

Of course it's a film thing because you're here.

That episode is tailored to you.
