Hey Soren, hey everybody.
Welcome to Happiness Week.
Today Soren and I are gonna take each other
through some of our favorite moments
in pop culture of just pure, unbridled joy.
It's the Virgin America safety video.
I look forward to this safety video every single time I fly.
There's no reason for this to be this good.
Because it's just like,
your seatbelts, how they work,
here's the mask, how that works.
And meanwhile we've just got
this f*ckin' hip-hop, dancey...
Look at this guy.
- It's all perfectly choreographed,
everybody's got costumes on.
It's really like the sh*ttiest part of a flight.
-Yeah.
-They've said, "You know what, this could be the best part."
-Yeah.
- And it's a tall order,
but they've clearly done it.
- I'm sorry, I've got to cut you off
because the walls just ripped apart
and now this little girl is rapping
like she was born to do it.
- That's what you want to see
in your plane,
is to have the walls of the plane rip open.
- The look that he gives when he starts dancing
with his lady
feels like he knows that I was gonna hit on her
and he's mad at me.
Look in his eyes.
It's like, "Back the f*ck off."
Alright, you got it.
You got it, man.
-I wanna show you...
So, I don't sing.
To me, when somebody can sing
it's basically magic.
-Okay.
- And there are these genuine moments
where it actually happens in real life
where you see a singer,
somebody who's done this their entire life,
and then they encounter someone
that they didn't know could sing,
and the look on their face
when they realize that,
"Oh, you're with me."
They thought they were alone this whole time
and now they've got somebody there
who knows what they're doing.
-Yeah.
- And it's so wonderful
how excited they get.
The first one I'm gonna show you
is Adele in Carpool Karaoke.
- Adele can sing?!
- The very first song she does,
James Corden, obviously,
came from Broadway,
but I'm not sure a lot of people know that, necessarily.
I don't think Adele knows.
He harmonizes with her in a great way.
(Adele and Corden sing "Hello")
(Soren and Dan laugh)
- Oh my God!
- Yeah.
- You can sing!
- That's a real magic moment.
- And then she's into it.
The rest of the video,
she's really into singing her own songs
because now she's got someone there doing it with her.
-Right, it's a real game-changer for her.
And then,
this other one is Michael Bublé.
This has been on the Internet for a while.
I think this is from 2010.
He's trying to do a concert,
and this woman comes up to the front of the stage
and she starts talking about how her son is there,
she took her son here, he's 15 years old.
And the kid starts singing,
(Sings opening of "Feeling Good")
- Hey!
- And Michael Bublé loses his mind
because the kid is so good.
- I've had those moments of joy
where you don't even know what to do with your arms
or your body and you're just like, "Ah!"
- He's so excited.
-This is so good.
It's so insane that this dragon shirt wearing mother*cker
went to a concert with his mom
to Michael Bublé
and spent a lot of money
to get right up close in the first ten rows.
And then is like,
"Oh f*ck, mom is talking to Michael Bublé,
"this is gonna be the worst moment of my life,
" I can't believe she's doing this,
" I begged her not to do this.
"Alright, well, it's a good thing
" I was made of pure magic this whole time
- Right.
And then, this last one is...
This guy's not like a famous musician
but anyone who owns a music shop
is someone who obviously has a passion
for guitar, playing music.
And these guys are generally pretty arrogant.
Kinda dicks.
This kid comes in,
and this kid is Irish or English,
And he just starts singing this song.
This guy who has seen everything,
his mouth just drops.
- And he immediately is like,
"Someone, I need a camera.
-"History will want to know what happened here."
Look at him just watch this kid
and be mesmerized by the way that he sings.
And the kid's so good.
- This kid's voice bought that guy
another ten years of living.
He was sitting here,
he was watching this bald guy
in f*cking,
a bathing suit and no sleeves
play the guitar, and he was like,
"This is the day I'm gonna end it all,
"this is the one.'
And then,
(sings)
- (sings) Just another day.
- I'm gonna call my ex-wife.
Does anything else make you happy?
-Yeah, I mean there's one other one
that I really love.
Only because of the reaction of one person.
I don't think she's a musician in it.
But this kid gets up on stage
and this thirteen year old boy
chooses "Paparazzi" to play
which is a bold move.
So he starts playing it,
and first of all, he's killing piano.
He's doing a great job.
And then he starts singing.
(Sings "Paparazzi")
And he's f*cking amazing.
And you can tell that there's a girl in the background
who is the quintessential female lead
in a movie about middle school.
Her hair is clearly curled.
-The popular girl, yeah.
She runs this joint.
- And when the camera zooms in,
you can just watch her watching him.
And she is blown away.
She's so into it.
This nerdy skinny kid,
she's like,
"I never even gave him a chance, and now look at him."
And every single part of me is like,
"Oh the satisfaction!"
- This is "Can't Hardly Wait"
if Jennifer Love Hewitt ended up with William,
the nerd who got drunk.
- Absolutely, yeah.
Where, he got up on stage and he was...
- Look at this.
Are white and grey striped shirts...
Have I done something horribly wrong with my life?
Or am I secretly a very good singer?
Are we gonna find that out?
Is that how the narrative goes?
-We might.
