On Friday September 5th, Wale and I were invited to see Jerry Seinfeld at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore, MD. This was very last minute and I flew in that afternoon from Boston. I missed the 4:30 flight so had to get on the 5:30 which got me to BWI at 7PM. The show started at 7. Luckily there was an opener so I arrived at the venue around 7:30 and missed the first 5 minutes of Jerry’s set. Wale showed up right as I was getting the tickets from will call. The show was amazing, I laughed a lot and Jerry dealt with a bizarre fan who stood up during the Q&A at the end to make a speech about homelessness (Jerry: “It’s a comedy show, people can pick up the paper and get depressed immediately after if they want.”) Jerry left us backstage passes because he wanted to meet Wale, as back in June, his assistant called me asking for a copy of the Mixtape About Nothing. We waited in the green room for him to come out and it was like something out of the show:
Me: Hey I’m Dan Weisman, really nice to meet you, this is Wale
Jerry: Oh, Wale. Yes. I really liked your thing.
Wale: Thanks man, that means a lot. I really liked your thing too.
Jerry: (turns to road manager) This is Wale, that rapper who made the mashup mixtape thing with the theme song and bits from the show. I really liked it; listened to it quite a few times.
Wale: That means so much man, thank you. I’m a huge fan and the show was so inspiring to me.
Me: You weren’t offended by the mixtape?
Jerry: No! I’m a comedian. I loved it.
Wale: That’s great cuz I became kinda famous off it.
A few more words were exchanged and that was that. It was one of the more surreal experiences of my life.
I have no idea why I’m posting this. Nothing really happens in this clip but everyone else was posting it and Wale’s in it so…
