[ laughter ] >> so she's not familiar with gutbusters in tampa, and the yuk yuks chain
1:18 am
so this is very exciting she can tell all her friends that i'm performing in a place that they've been familiar with. >> seth: that's fantastic. and you're living in new york now? >> yes >> seth: you're up in harlem how is it? >> it's fantastic. the nicest people. they tell me to have a blessed day, every day i live on 139,000th and -- [ laughter ] and malcolm x. and people assume -- well, my wife is a black woman, so i'm her plus one so they assume that my neighborhood is gentrified but i think they're thinking further down >> seth: yeah. >> -- towards the park there's a whole foods at 120th and malcolm gladwell >> seth: okay.

1:19 am
recommend it enough, where you talked about, you know, issues like anxiety and depression. what is behind the name "born on third base"? >> well, i am very blessed in that, one, i suffer from depression during a time when they could treat it. and a hundred years ago, they would just throw me away and lock the door. and so, i'm very grateful for that and also, i grew up in the '70s a white male in new england. so i had advantages. i'm 6'6", and i ran really fast, so i was able to get a scholarship to college so i was born on third base. as poor as we were growing up -- and we were poor -- the great thing was we didn't feel poor because my father -- a mensch. and i just want to keep with the jewish theme that we have going here [ laughter ] >> seth: that's a very thematic episode, yeah. >> this is -- you thought hanukkah was early no it starts before thanksgiving. [ laughter ] this is incredible >> seth: this is a pre-hanukkah party, yeah. >> oh, my gosh my father had this policy that made us feel less poor
1:20 am
he would say, "if there's something you really want, just ask for it we'll try to find the money. and then, of course, like any dad, he would talk us out of wanting whatever it was that we wanted [ laughter ] like, one year, i wanted to play hockey, which as a new englander, you know -- >> seth: of course >> it's huge >> seth: yep >> and so he said, "if you want to play hockey, we'll try to find the money for you to play this sport you've shown no potential in." [ laughter ] not only have you shown no potential, jews have acquitted themselves quite poorly in this sport. [ laughter ] and then he pulled out this sports almanac with the hockey hall of fame he said, "let's count the jewish players. [ laughter ] ready? done there are zero jewish players. he said, "just for a point of comparison, more jews have been the messiah. [ laughter ] do you -- do you understand that you're more likely to be jesus you are more likely to walk on water than you are to skate on it [ laughter ] but -- >> seth: how have you -- you know, i think a lot of people were interested in how behavior
1:21 am
would change over the course of this pandemic. and as we're going back to normal, do you -- were your predictions correct in how people --? >> no. >> seth: okay. >> i really thought people were going to be nicer. >> seth: yeah. >> and then i went to chipotle soon after that's -- i go there every other day anyhow >> seth: sure. >> it's delicious. and the people who work there are so composed, despite the fact that they deal with this all day long ready? "corn, corn, black beans, brown rice." just people wagging their finger at them to assemble their burrito. or their bowl. [ laughter ] you got to be so careful, seth >> seth: in this day and age, you got to be so careful >> you say burrito, leaving out the bowl people, the next day, the people are on -- yes, yes >> seth: hey, bowl erasure [ laughter ] >> right now, somebody is angry because i'm not doing the manual typewriter correctly >> seth: right, there's the -- yeah >> they'll be writing letters. and so, they come in there, and i just want to tell you, if you go to chipotle, you don't have to point they know where the corn is. [ laughter ]
1:22 am
you found it you don't even work here [ laughter ] how would they not know where the corn is? just give them the benefit of the doubt. say "corn," and then, they look baffled -- [ laughter ] then add the visual aid. but until -- i'm too sen -- i wouldn't last a shift at chipotle somebody would come in, corn oh, is that -- is that where the corn -- brenda, i found the corn [ laughter and applause it was with the other toppings it's always the last place you look [ laughter ] >> seth: it's so lovely to see you again, gary. >> same here, seth >> seth: thanks for being here congratulations. carnegie hall!

♪ [ cheers and applause >> seth: our next guest is a grammy and academy award-winning producer, songwriter and deejay. the second season of his podcast, "the fader uncovered," is available now please welcome to the show, mark ronson, everybody [ cheers and applause ♪ ♪ >> seth: welcome to the show how are you? >> i'm great >> seth: it -- it's lovely to see you. and i want to start by congratulating you recently married there you go >> yes >> seth: there's you and your wife, grace gummer [ cheers and applause >> yeah, it's -- it's -- it was wonderful. she's the best ever. i don't -- i can't say enough. and it was -- it was a wonderful day. >> seth: it was a great wedding. and i would imagine a little bit scaled back because we are, of course, in the middle of a pandemic, but -- >> yes
1:29 am
>> seth: i'm curious with someone like you who is a famous music producer and d.j. - >> yeah. >> seth: do you have a band? do you have a deejay or is it just too much pressure to put on someone else >> i -- weirdly, like, i hate deejays. it's so strange because i am a deejay >> seth: yeah. >> and i was thinking like, "who would i have?" and then i felt, "well, it's not fair just because i don't like deejays, everyone else should be able to dance. but a bunch of the guys in the band that we're going to play are some of my friends who play in the roots and play on "jimmy fallon. and yes -- >> seth: yeah, it's very - >> amazing too [ cheers and applause >> seth: very nice poll for a wedding band >> they are great. and they were also playing earlier that we can remember barack obama was having his huge 60th >> seth: yes, i do believe there was some press about that. yes. >> there was some press about that of course. so -- so -- and, you know, as we're scaling back our wedding because it's covid and we're kind of looking at -- i mean, i can't believe i'm like, judging my wedding against, like, the obama's 60th remember like, through the week, it was like -- well, now they've disinvited 200 people and now it's only getting 50 and -- so we had -- we disinvited everybody at our wedding except, you know, immediate family
1:30 am
so when the guys got there from the roots band, i, kind of, wanted to be, like, "so what was the obama -- it was really small, right?" it was -- they were like "no, that's -- it was wild. it was, like, crazy. [ laughter ] and i was just, like -- like, they hadn't slept in three days. they've probably been jamming with, like, quincy jones and dave chappelle like, "whatever. and i'm like, "okay, well, just play the jazz tunes. [ laughter ] like -- like, "i'm sorry this isn't going to be that. anyway, i think it was a good, like, hungover sunday for them just to like - >> seth: very nice good -- good vibe. >> play tomorrow, our way. >> seth: you have -- you have a podcast where you interview a musician you have a documentary series on apple tv - >> yes >> seth: called "watch the sound. the same, sort of, idea. >> yes >> seth: when you were talking to musicians and obviously, it's what you do for a living, but a lot of these people you were listening to music before it was your living. >> yes >> seth: how do you separate those moments of being someone who is, you know, in their field, a peer, but also like a giant fan of their work? >> i mean, it's impossible i just, like, sit on my hands. and i'm like, "don't be an idiot. [ laughter ] like -- like -- no, i mean, it's true
1:31 am
i make music and it's nice that some of these people think of me as a peer, like -- but i'm talking to big boy from "outcast." and -- my favorite concert ever was "outcast" in 1999 in miami and just, like, these are people that have soundtracked my life so i always try and wait the moment because you don't want to start up -- "i love you. but then it just seems like you're trying to win them over i don't know but -- and then, occasionally, i'll interview some rapper who's, like, a young up and coming, like, person, rico nasty and at the very end, she'll be like, "so, like, what do you do? you're like a journalist or something? [ laughter ] like, she has -- she has no idea i make music, which is also great. so i kind of -- i -- i don't mind either way. >> seth: i would imagine, like, interviewing someone is one thing but you also collaborate with them. and that, it must be even more important not to, sort of, geek out or -- or be a fan boy, because then they might not take you seriously. >> yeah. i mean, i think that -- i mean, the ultimate example, of course, working with, like -- somebody who is, like, basically a goddess like paul mccartney.
1:32 am
and i feel like on day one, you're allowed to be an idiot. and like -- i've been producing records for, like, 15 years. it was like -- everything was kryptonite in my hands like, it's paul mccartney, you know >> seth: yeah. >> so then, i think he gives you a day to be like that because he's used to -- he does -- has that effect on everyone. but then, like, day two, like -- "better come with the heat, bro. [ laughter ] or sir paul is going to fire you. so -- so, yeah so it's just about getting over those things but, like, q-tip, ghost face killer, all these people i grew up with who were like -- grew up listening to their music, when you're finally in the studio with them, it is kind of surreal, you know? >> seth: i can only imagine. you -- you've worked with people like, amy winehouse and lady gaga and bruno mars and i'm just wondering, over the course of this career where you've worked with this, you know, diverse slate of singers and musicians. are there moments where you hear a lyric for the first time or are you hear, you know, a note for the first time that even having worked in this for so long that you're just taken aback, in -- in awe. >> yeah, like, i definitely remember when we were writing "shallow" and you're futzing around and everybody's got an instrument going through chords
1:33 am
and -- and, lady gaga, she's playing this piano and the moment, she's looking for where she's saying phrases and then she says -- she sang, "tell me something boy," or "tell me something girl, are you happy in this modern world?" and, like, the way she sang it and her voice. like, your hair just stand up -- you're like "okay, what's the next line? then you -- then you get this excitement but yeah no, it's -- it's amazing when those moments happen >> seth: i feel like thanks to a number of music documentaries over the last, you know, decade plus we have a greater appreciation for what a music producer does and you just realize there's such a delicate fiddling and changing and - you know, deciding, you know, what to bring up and what to bring down do you ever hear one of your songs years later and regret choices you made or -- >> yeah. like i listened to all of them and i'm just like -- i don't listen to my own music like, active that's not true. i just didn't want to look at it [ laughter ] no -- no, i -- i don't i don't make it a regular thing.
1:34 am
but, occasionally, like, you hear a song and it's, like, something you did 15 years ago and you're like, "oh, i get it." i was like this aggressive kid i was trying to throw the whole kitchen sink -- now i know why i should have, like, chilled out but, occasionally like, i was in the airport, actually. and i heard this song playing, like, far from the speaker like some duty free, like i was in the whiskey store at 7:00 in the morning. no, he throws. sorry. and i was like, "oh, that's cool." i was like, "those drums sound cool," because i always hear drums and if the drums have a good sound, i, like, want to hear the song. and i ended up shazaming it and i looked, i was like, "oh, i made that. like, i -- [ laughter ] it wasn't so amazing, but i was like, "that's so funny." i was like, "i wonder who did the drums on this song," and i forgot that i had done that song >> seth: i really -- i mean, that's -- that's really funny. like, "this is really great. i got to "oh." well, look at that [ laughter ] >> yeah. one bottle of jack daniels thank you.
