"A human head, a shrunken head of an old childhood friend" could be some White Stripes lyrics.

[@angiesizzlepants]

every time Jack White throws shade at hipsters an angel gets it's wings

[@jonathangillis4926]

Lol Exactly

[@simonfirth5838]

And every time you use the phrase 'throw shade' they fly straight into the headlights of a truck

[@osuushiza8]

Angelia Serbinski I'm a hipster, but I ♥ Jack White. If he couldn't stand me based on me being a hipster tho, not my problem. That's linear thinking. EDIT: Besides, even after all these yrs, I'm still baffled on y he had such hatred4 hipsters? I understand y he doesn't like 📷 📱 being brought out2 his live shows. I completely grasp that. But what's up w the hipster thing?

[@amina1970]

@@osuushiza8 hipsters stereotypically have a "too cool 2 care" attitude. they are "too cool" to dance and move their damn heads at shows. jack and I alike think its cool to feel the music and dance

[@rckstr1123]

Jack: "Do I look like I'm dying?" Ben: "You've looked better." Jack: *Jaw fucking drops*

[@PAULLONDEN]

Ben should be the last to drag up a "weight" issue......

[@FluteDoodler]

We need more interviews where Jack is familiar with the interviewer! This has to be one of my favorites

[@tranthony1768]

Jaxson Davis Yeah Jack and Ben (the interviewer) are family! Jack is Ben's uncle.

[@DemiMondrian]

Then go check out Conan O'Brien's interview with him :)

[@somethingdiffrant]

Totally! Jack seems clever; able to improvise but a little shy with show bizzy strangers

[@matpars]

Jack is a national treasure

[@amaracea]

"Magnet belts, they're coming back." At first I was like "what?" but then I remembered I'm currently wearing a magnet belt.

[@rampface85]

This is the first interview with Jack that I've seen that feels natural and not like he's posturing. This is the real Jack White. He should show this side more

[@tranthony1768]

rampface85 The interviewer (Ben) is Jack's nephew so this interview is chill. 💙🖤

[@kimtowell2579]

I so enjoyed that. Relaxed and real. No persona or ego... true personality and sense of humor. I felt as if i was in the room with them, and I found myself smiling a lot. Thanks for that.

[@karolinagrek781]

11:08 Oh no no no no no, don’t do that! Hahaha love him so much

[@DGK666]

Yeah, that killed me.

[@lolahavana8667]

I love ❤️ how he mentioned Faygo Cream Soda. He's a Michigander.

[@BirdieGates]

I’ve never heard Jack laugh before!

[@carollfu7802]

Jack, you're already a legend and Legends Never Die.

[@CcBloom777]

Lillie Mae named the album??? Sick!

[@evereynolds358]

All I can say is thank god for KZbin. I reside in a small southeast kansas town and love to find interesting channels that allow us to feel a connection with so many performers we will never get to meet in real time but yet feel a little more closer to them thru video. Love Jack white. Thanks for making Monday great!

[@shitpoststreet5610]

Yeah! Kansas FTW!

[@buttersbeans6929]

Hes in bonner springs kansas on april 24

[@evereynolds358]

Bonner springs. Close to K.C. right? If so that is very tempting.

[@meraymaddah6451]

That is such a sweet comment! Have a great rest of the week Eve :D

[@MakeSomething]

One of the funnest interviews I've seen!

[@bingonamo7520]

?? I didn't laugh once.

[@Crow46978]

​@@bingonamo7520... h o w.... it is funny

[@misscindypalacio]

Not your typical "interview", a trip down memory lane for sure.

[@StealthheartDraws]

This should've been called "watch us make Jack White feel old" 😂

[@mels.3750]

I love him like a little brother.

[@shaunm1983]

Mel S. Isn't that a line in one of his songs?

[@no_wire_hangers]

DirtyBluesStank "well it's true that we love one another, I love Jack White like a little brother..." yes!!

[@shaunm1983]

Mazzy Star Those lines have been popping up in my head since a heard them. I still randomly sing it at least once a week

[@veggigoddess]

He loves you too, but there's just so much that he doesn't know about you

[@3peppermints]

@@shaunm1983 LMAO.. it's always stuck in my head

[@TrulyOutrageous]

I want to buy that Dr. Pepper belt.

[@richardriley4415]

I got my copy yesterday and it is outstanding and Jack is a National Treasure.

[@rickdb8480]

He’s a global treasure ;)

[@josephmiller1941]

It's always good to have friends interview you. You feel safe and they know you know where your boundaries are.

[@TashJansson]

This was so enjoyable!

[@DLTA64]

3:08 i've never heard jack swear before

[@CaitlintheCasual]

J O K E R / ジョーカ / I've read him swearing in article interviews.

[@jonathangillis4926]

I've heard him swear lol

[@1zymn1]

First thing I thought too. Crazy.

[@Alexander-mk4qf]

11:43 - YES

[@BuzzardsRoostWoodcraft]

Ordered my copy last Saturday. Best drunk amazon order ever

[@LizLove73]

This was the best video. So informative and I laughed so hard. Thank you for sharing 💗💗💗

[@shanegedekoh121]

Just realized that's the green couch from the White Stripes old house in Detroit! I didn't catch that the first time I watched this in 2018

[@KitGuardian]

This reminded me of the interviews from when I followed rockers in the 80's. Thank you for sharing. Glad I am not the only horder of old things. Good idea Ben!

[@nikkijames5502]

I would watch this a million times before I watch any tv show.... Love this approach!

[@free_melie]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!

[@KitGuardian]

So great to get some more insight into your past J. I think we could have been friends for sure. Dr.Pepper magnet belt, LOL. Me too. I used to call the plant in Dallas to get them to send me free stickers. And cool about the porcelain cassette as your first professional recording. I still have all of the original C.D's of a bunch of Dallas Bands from the Deep Ellum underground scene in the 80's. Take Care and all the best with your tour.

[@SpiritsOfAnotherDay]

Very good interview - both are extremely comfortable ! (That what really made it special)

[@hurkamur1]

Spirits Of Another Day He's known his interviewer since he was born, that helps.

[@tranthony1768]

Spirits Of Another Day They are family so this interview is chill. Jack is Ben's (the interviewer) uncle.

[@cherokeesdnicholas8664]

[@thinmizzy365]

Did you say Dr. Pepper? I can see that we are gonna be friends

[@cranberryjuice3998]

i legit bought the record today and have been playing it over and over and over ;) for about 9 hours straight.

[@oldschool6558]

This seems like the most authentic persona of Jack White- stripped down and real. I really like this part of him. Kmart and Faygo pop! Miss Kmart sooo badly!! I think eventually we all return to our childhoods' in some way.

[@TokyoBlue587]

Did Jack get a tattoo on his right wrist? Ben is Jack's nephew, isn't he? Jack's smile and laugh gives me life.

[@jenniferwelch]

looked like a stamp imo

[@tranthony1768]

TokyoBlue Yes Ben is Jack's nephew.

[@pandarouge21]
