Ba da da da da da 7 Minutes in Heaven Oooo yeah!
Hi this is 7 Minutes in Heaven with Mike O'Brien. I'm here today with Ellen DeGeneres.
Hi Ellen.
Hi, how are you?
Good, thanks for coming.
Thanks for having me in your closet.
You just started your 9th season.
I wanted to put it in perspective
because I was so surprised and impressed to realize it was 9 years.
Mmhmm.
Surprised that it lasted that long?
A litte bit.
Mmhmm.
Just cause of some of the early ones.
Right.
But listen to what was happening when your show started.
Okay.
Hey Ya! was the big hit.
Mmhmm.
Outkast.
Agassi won the Australian Open.
Nickelback turned 8.
Johnny Cash died. Probably unrelated, but...
Nickelback turned 8?
Yeah.
What was that song?
Oh gosh, I mean, where to begin?
Oooooohhhh.
Who do you think you are?
Yeah, that song 'Who do you think you are?'
Super slow.
Yeah.
Great song.
I have a spec script for that sitcom Ellen
where your character has to then tell everybody she isn't gay
that it was a phase, and she goes back in the closet.
That would have lasted.
Did it get canceled because she came out?
Yeah. Her. I'm blaming it on her, because she came out. Yeah.
You were fine.
I was fine. She had to come out.
Have you ever interviewed anyone who you thought was like super funny your whole life
but then you get up close to them and their eyes are so blue
that you can't think of anything else?
Because they just have really blue, blue eyes.
Please say which of these adjectives applies to you.
An activist?
Mmm. Accidentally.
I like that.
A silent burper?
I don't know the last time I burped.
Maybe as a baby, I'm sure I did as a baby.
Even then you were kind of like...
I think I was polite, and I'd go
"Pardon me."
That was my first word.
Coked up at all times?
Yup.
I thought so.
I was like, she's energetic. I don't believe it.
All the time I'm coked up.
So a few years ago you put John McCain on the hot seat and talked about you difference
of opinion
on gay marriage.
Yes.
Now you're on the hot seat.
Okay.
I'd like you to respond to the youtube comments under the clip of you and McCain.
"Gay marriage? Who cares? Why not worry about how Arizona lets illegals *** retarded grandmas?"
That was from WestSideAsses.
Wow.
They do have a point.
Another one...
"The bottom line is that these are two great people in modern culture. A hero in Vietnam
and a strong, smart
woman with eyes like a quiet ocean."
-Mike O'Brien.
This is called closet theater with Ellen Degeneres.
We're husband and wife and we're hanging out in the closet because our home is being sprayed
for bugs.
And we're both psychics professionally so we're both constantly brining our jobs home.
They got that one.
Yeah, they got that guy good.
I ah, in...yes.
You will?
Oh thank you.
Oh my gosh I just saw surfing.
That's gonna be fun, that doesn't seem like something I would normally do.
That's not me.
No I saw it too, and it's not me.
But it's not...
How dare you.
I'm so sorry.
And you're surfing with her?
God, that's so fun.
Ah.
I knew that was coming and I didn't block it.
How dare you.
Thank you for coming in the closet.
Thank you.
I'd love to give you a kiss in a way that would be respectful to your wife.
The second one got disrespectful, actually.
And I'm sorry about that.
Well, that's okay. That's alright.
Your eyes are very blue.
Yours are, too. Yours are very blue. They're very pretty.
You alright?
Maybe we're related.
That'd be, then that was just gross, then.
Oh right, yes.
I need to always be saying that's gross...
If we're related and...
I know, yeah.
You ever feel like you have to just memorize all these rules.
No.
No? Me either.
It is gross.
Okay, sure.
Well...
Um...
Well I feel like...
Again? Really?
Okay, that's okay.
No I think we got it.
We covered it. We got it.
I just worry that the cameras didn't pick it up.
From 7 Minutes in Heaven this is Mike O'Brien with Ellen Degeneres.
Thank you again.
Thank you.
