Hi, Madhulk. It's quite hard to figure it out without context. I guess he meant, jokingly "Yes, I'm".

Hi, Madhulk. It's quite hard to figure it out without context. I guess he meant, jokingly "Yes, I'm". Just a joke like :"There are me and my company." implies "I'm the whole here and there is no one else". It's my opinion.

"And friends" might just refer to anyone with him, in this case - to Melinda.
