>> LIFE ADVICE WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA.
>> James: OKAY, MR. PRESIDENT, NOW A LOT OF THE GANG HERE AT
THE "LATE, LATE SHOW" FAMILY, THEY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE
THAT THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY RESOLVE WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
AND WE WERE WONDERING IF YOU'VE GOT THE TIME, IS IT ALL RIGHT,
IF SOME "LATE, LATE SHOW" STAFFERS ASK YOU SOME LIFE
QUESTIONS, CAN WE DO THAT?
>> I HAVE ANSWERS, READY SWRZ WELL, THIS IS GREAT.
WHO HAS GOT A LIFE QUESTION FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA?
WHERE ARE WE-- LET'S-- OKAY, IAN.
LET'S GO TO IAN WHO I SHOULD SAY, MR. PRESIDENT, IS WEARING A
JACKET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 921 SHOWS.
SO GO FOR IT, IAN.
WHAT IS THE QUESTION.
>> ALL RIGHT, YEAH, HELLO, MR. PRESIDENT.
I AM JUST WONDERING, MY GIRLFRIEND AND I STARTED DATING
DURING THE PANDEMIC.
AND WE ALREADY LIVE TOGETHER.
BUT WE HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY HAD A REAL FIRST DATE.
AND NOW THAT THE WORLD IS OPENING BACK UP AGAIN, I AM
WONDERING IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR WHAT WE SHOULD DO, WHAT THAT
FIRST DATE SHOULD BE.
>> James: GOD QUESTION.
>> FIRST OF ALL, I THINK ARE YOU ROCKING THAT JACKET, SO ON THE
FIRST DATE I THINK YOU SHOULD WEAR IT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> I BET SHE IS IMPRESSED BY THAT.
SECOND OF ALL, HOW IS THIS A PROBLEM?
YOU HAVE GONE TO DIN WE ARE PEOPLE BEFORE, RIGHT?
YOU KNOW HOW RESTAURANTS WORK, RIGHT, THEY FEED YOU.
YOU ORDER A LITTLE WINE, SAY NICE THINGS TO HER, COMPLIMENT
HER ON HER DRESS.
IAN S THIS REALLY THE BIGGEST PROBLEM YOU HAVE?
I'M THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, MAN.
YOU SHOULD HAVE COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER.
>> James: OH MY GOD, I LOVE THIS.
IT STARTED AS A QUESTION, IT ENDED AS A ROAST.
OKAY, WHO ELSE HAS DPOT A HE REQUEST, HAGAR, DO YOU HAVE A
QUESTION.
>> YEAH, WELL THERE IS GOING TO GO GREAT AFTER IANS.
YEAH, WELL MR. PRESIDENT, I ACCIDENTALLY LIKED MY EX'S
INSTAGRAM PHOTO AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING LAST NIGHT.
AND JUST CURIOUS WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN MY SITUATION.
THANK YOU.
>> I THINK YOU SHOULD GO TO SLEEP EARLIER.
>> THAT WOULD HELP.
>> James: FANTASTIC.
I'M LOVING THESE ANSWERS SO MUCH.
LET'S GO-- WINNIE, YOU HAVE DONE YOUR HAIR, LET'S GET A QUESTION.
>> YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS QUESTION.
I WAS JUST INVITED TO A MEMORIAL DAY COOKOUT.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING.
>> DO NOT-- DO NOT BE THE POTATOE SALAD PERSON.
IT GETS HOT, AFTER A WHILE PEOPLE LOOK AT IT, IF SOMEBODY
GETS SICK THEY BLAME THE POTATOE SALAD.
SO I WOULD AVOID THAT.
>> James: SEE, THAT IS TRUE LIFE ADVICE.
DON'T BE THE POTATOE SALAD PERSON.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
LET'S GO TO LAUREN GREENBERG, HEAD WRITER ON THE SHOW, LAUREN,
HAVE YOU GOT A QUESTION.
>> RIGHT, SO I'M SINGLE AND DATING APPS ARE TRASH, HOW DO I
MEET SOMEONE IN REAL LIFE?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, MY STRATEGY WAS TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL AN THEN
WORK AT A LAW FIRM AND THEN MEET THIS SPECTACULAR WOMAN WHO WAS
MY ADVISOR FOR THE SUMMER.
SO YOU COULD TRY THAT.
>> DONE.
>> James: YEAH, TRY THAT.
THAT'S GREAT ADVICE.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO, OKAY, LET'S GO TO NICK BERNSTEIN BUT I
SHOULD TELL YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, DUE TO SOME THINGS THAT HAPPENED
THIS WEEKEND, JUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO MENTION ANY BIG BRANDS
THAT DON'T BUY ADVERTISING DURING THE "LATE, LATE SHOW" OR
YOU WILL BE FINED, NICK, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION.
>> HE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT.
BUT YES, SIR, EVERYBODY LIKES MY WIFE MORE THAN THEY LIKE ME.
LIKE IF WE'RE ON A GROUP TEXT, SHE'S THE ONE THAT GETS THE HA
HAAS.
AND I WAS JUST KIND OF WONDERING, LIKE, CAN YOU RELATE
TO THAT AT ALL?
LIKE-- DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS LIVING WITH
THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR WIFE IS JUST THE BETTER PERSON?
>> NOW FIRST OF ALL WHY DO YOU THINK CAN I RELATE TO THAT?
>> James: YEAH, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT SAN OUTRAGEOUS QUESTION, NICKER.
>> YOU KNOW, I SEE THE SUBTEXT HERE.
SADLY, I CAN RELATE, AND I THINK THAT YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TRY TO BE
FUNNIER OR MORE CHARMING, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY A LOSING BATTLE.
IT IS HELPFUL BY THE WAY IF YOU HAVE A JOINT BANK ACCOUNT, SO
THAT WHEN SHE-- OUTSELLS NEW THE BOOK YOU DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT
IT.
>> LET'S HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.
LET'S GO TO GUILLERMO, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
>> SURE.
MR. PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE BEEN SUPPORTIVE HUSBAND TO MICHELLE,
AND SUCH A SWEET GIRL DAD TO YOUR TWO DAUGHTERS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME JUST STARTING
OUT WITH MY LITTLE NEWBORN, AND MY WIFE?
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANKS.
>> WHAT IS YOUR NEW BABY'S NAME.
>> HER NAME IS NALO MOON.
>> NALO MOON.
>> YES.
>> THAT'S A NICE NAME.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WELL, I DO THINK MICHELLE WAS PRETTY GOOD ABOUT-- THIS IS A
SERIOUS TIP.
ACTUALLY GIVING THEM REGULAR SCHEDULES, NAP TIMES, SLEEP
TIMES, WHEN THEY ARE COMING UP, THEY END UP JUST BEING HAPPIER
AN BETTER BEHAVED, BECAUSE HALF THE TIME WHEN THEY ARE THROWING
A TANTRUM OR SOMETHING, IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SLEEPILY OR
HUNGRY.
AND I THINK THE SECOND BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I HAVE GOT FOR
FATHERS OF GIRLS IS NOT ONLY LOVE THEM UNCONDITIONALLY, BUT
TREAT THEIR MOMS GREAT.
SO YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE WATCHING HOW THEIR MOM IS BEING TREATED.
AND SO-- (LAUGHTER)
>> IF THEY SEE THAT YOU LOVE AND RESPECT AND SUPPORT THEIR MOM,
THEN WHEN THEY GET OLDER, THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO EXPECT
FOR THEMSELVES.
AND THAT IS WORKED OUT PRETTY WELL FOR ME.
>> James: OH, GUYS.
>> THANK YOU, THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.
>> James: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE THANK THE
INCREDIBLE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FOR BEING OUR GUEST TONIGHT.
