THE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS START THIS WEEK, AND LAST WEEK THERE WAS A
BASEBALL GAME IN ARIZONA WHERE SOME GIRLS IN THE STANDS WERE
TAKING SO MANY SELFIES, IT CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF THE
COMMENTATORS. TAKE A LOOK.
>> ONE MORE NOW.
CHECK IT. DID THAT COME OUT OK?
>> THAT'S THE BEST OF THE 300 PICTURES I'VE TAKEN OF MYSELF
TODAY.
JAMES: I MEAN, THESE GIRLS TOOK ABOUT 20 PICTURES IN TEN SECONDS
AT A BASEBALL GAME.
THE GUYS WHO LANDED ON THE MOON TOOK LIKE, THREE TOTAL
PICTURES. [LAUGHTER]
I CAN PICTURE THEM COMING HOME AND THEIR FRIENDS BEING LIKE,
HOW WAS THE GAME? OH, IT WAS SO INTENSE.
BOTTOM OF THE NINTH, I DIDNT THINK WE WERE GOING TO PULL IT
OFF.
MY BATTERY WAS AT 3% BUT THEN SARAH FOUND A CHARGER.
IT WAS ALL FINE.
TO BE FAIR, THE ANNOUNCERS DESERVE SOME OF THE BLAME.
HERES AN IDEA, HOW ABOUT NOT LINGERING ON A GROUP OF 19
YEAR-OLDS FOR FIVE MINUTES DURING A BASEBALL GAME?
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHO LOST THAT GAME BUT I KNOW WHO WON, CREEPY
OLD DUDES WATCHING AT HOME. ALL RIGHT.
BUT THIS HAS RAISED A BIGGER QUESTION TO US HERE AT "THE LATE
LATE SHOW." HOW MANY PHOTOS IS TOO MANY?
-- PHOTOS?
BECAUSE EXPERTS ESTIMATE THAT A TRILLION PHOTOS HAVE ALREADY
BEEN TAKEN IN 2015. LIKE, THAT'S HOW MANY DOLLARS
YOUD HAVE TO PAY ME TO SIT THROUGH AN ENTIRE BASEBALL
GAME. BUT SELFIES ARE GETTING OUT OF
CONTROL.
IF YOU GO BACK 20 YEARS AGO, CAN YOU IMAGINE TAKING A 100
PICTURES OF ONLY YOURSELF AND THEN HANDING THAT TO A GUY AT A
ONE-HOUR PHOTO? [LAUGHTER]
THEY WOULD THINK YOU'RE INSANE. YOU WANT TO PRINT ALL OF THESE?
YEAH, YEAH, TOTALLY.
BUT NOW YOU DO THAT AND POST IT ON THE INTERNET AND PEOPLE ARE
LIKE, BITCH, YOU LOOK FIERCE. IT'S CRAZY.
IT'S CRAZY. [APPLAUSE]
BUT NOT EVERYONE IS TAKING PICTURES.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS LADY AT THE PREMIERE OF THE MOVIE "BLACK
MASS."
SHES THE ONLY PERSON IN THAT PHOTO NOT HOLDING A CELL
PHONE.
NOW, I THINK THIS PICTURE IS WONDERFUL.
LOOK AT HER, JUST TAKING IN THE MOMENT.
LIVING IN THE MOMENT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THE KIDS ARE
THINKING WHEN THEY SEE THAT PHOTO.
AW, THAT POOR OLD WOMAN.
SHE CANT AFFORD A PHONE. WE SHOULD START A KICK STARTER
TO GET THAT LADY A PHONE. WE SHOULD DO THAT.
WE SHOULD DO THAT.
BUT THERE SO MANY PICTURES OUT THERE.
PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO UP THEIR GAME BY TAKING DANGEROUS PHOTOS
IN DANGEROUS PLAYS. AND THIS HAS BECOME SO COMMON
THAT THIS YEAR, AND THIS IS A FACT, MORE PEOPLE HAVE DIED
TAKING SELFIES THAN HAVE BEEN KILLED BY SHARKS.
SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE ARE DYING BY SELFIE.
IT IS TRAGIC, NOT ONLY BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAD, BUT BECAUSE YOU'LL
NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE HOW MANY LIKES THAT PICTURE GOT.
[LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT.
BUT SELFIE ACCIDENTS ARE SCAREIE.
BUT THEY'RE STILL NOT SCARIER THAN SHARKS.
LIKE, THAT WOULD MAKE FOR A MUCH WORSE "JAWS" MOVIE.
LIKE WE'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT -- NO, SERIOUSLY
BECAUSE I CAN'T FIT EVERYBODY IN.
SELFIE. SELFIE.
SELFIE. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, IF I DIE
TAKING A SELFIE, PLEASE MAKE IT EASIER FOR MY FAMILY AND JUST
TELL THEM I KILLED MYSELF.
[LAUGHTER] MY POLICY IS, YOU SHOULD TREAT
SELFIES LIKE YOU TREAT DRINKING.
RIGHT?
TRY NOT TO DO IT ALONE, DEFINITELY DON'T DO IT WHILE
YOU'RE DRIVING AND IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN TWO OR THREE A DAY,
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY SEEK HELP.
[APPLAUSE] A LITTLE TIP FOR LIFE.
