John also appeared on Conan O’Brien‘s podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend and spoke about fatherhood.

“I used to spin out about so many things and I used to want to be so clever and wanted to be this curated little prick and I now have nothing in my head except, ‘Yeah, Malcolm do that. Oh yeah, right. Baseball,” he explained.

“He wakes up at 4:50 a.m. Every night when he goes to bed I go, ‘What time are you going to wake up?’ And he goes, ’7,’ and we both laugh. And we say ‘Deal,’ and we shake,” he continued.

“He gets in bed, he wakes up at 4:50. I unzip him at 4:50, this happened two Wednesdays ago. He goes, ‘Baseball!’ Immediately I go, ‘You wanna play?’ He goes, ‘Game.’”

“So I take him out, get him out of his sleepsack. Now he and I are in the front yard, 5:10 a.m. In pajamas and jackets. And I take the ball and I put in on the tee. And he’s holding a wiffle ball bat and he goes, ‘Two bats.’ So I hand him another bat and now he has two,” John continued.

“And I put the ball on and he goes, ‘Dada do it,’ and I go, ‘Dada do it.’ And I smack that wiffle ball so far. And he goes, ‘Yeah, good job!’ I go, ‘Yeah, good job.’ I put a ball on for him and I go, ‘Malcolm do that?’ And he goes, ‘Malcolm do that.’ He hits the ball, which means he hits his hand holding the bat against the tee and the ball falls off. Sure. And I go, ‘Yeah, good job,’ and he goes, ‘Yeah, good job. Malcolm good job.’”

“And we’re just two morons at 5 in the morning, the floodlights, Ring camera lights are going off it’s so early,” he went on to say.

John Mulaney is also opening up about the reasons he said no to taking over hosting duties on The Daily Show.
