Mall Talk With Paige Weldon And Emily Faye

Since moving to LA, Will Miles (Comedy Central Half-Hour, South Side) has learned to love the mall. This week he joins Paige and Emily to talk about the wide array of regional ingredients and housewares available at World Market, going to The Grove high, the rumor that Oprah lives in an apartment at Water Tower Place in Chicago and, of course, his childhood stint as a sort of mall investigative journalist.

C.J. Toledano (House of Highlights) comes by to talk about getting back into the mall game after an injury, going into stores even though you know they make you mad and what where you park says about you. Plus we learn that, in his teen years, he worked half a shift at Hollister, and dared to wear jeans on the job at Blockbuster, but always dreamed of working at Foot Locker. And, last but not least, the long-awaited return of Halloween Mall Libs.
