A pretty sizable percent of world leaders are completely out of their minds 鈥� at least that鈥檚 what President Barack Obama told comedian Jerry Seinfeld over a cup of joe.

Appearing on the former sitcom star鈥檚 Web series, "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,鈥� the commander-in-chief gets chummy and casually gives the dish on his favorite childhood president (Theodore Roosevelt), underpants preferences (same brand, same color), morning routine (shave before working out), and why children love him so much (saying "barackobama" out loud is fun).

The episode begins with Mr. Seinfeld pulling into the White House driveway in a baby blue 1963 Corvette Stingray 鈥� 鈥渢he coolest car, American made, for the coolest guy ever to hold this office,鈥� he says. Entering the Oval Office through a side door, Seinfeld makes himself at home as Obama finishes up some paperwork. 鈥淎re these washed?鈥� he asks, as he munches into an apple. The two hit it off like old friends with identical haircuts.

For about 15 minutes, the two chat inside the Corvette, the presidential limo, and what is presumably a break room for聽White House staff.

The full video, which you can watch here, falls short of family friendliness.聽In what the Washington Post鈥檚 Aaron Blake, calls the best moment, Mr. Obama reveals his penchant for timely cursing:

鈥淚 curse. I curse. ... Bad stuff, or stupid stuff, is happening constantly, right? Every day. So you have to be able to just make fun of a lot of that. Like 鈥榯hat was even dumber and more annoying than usual.鈥� That鈥檚 when cursing is really valuable.鈥�

The two also took a moment to chat about their mutual friend, Larry David, the co-creator of Seinfeld鈥檚 namesake show and an apparent golf buddy of Obama.

鈥淒id I tell you I played golf with Larry David?鈥� the president asks, to which Seinfeld replies, 鈥淣o, 鈥榗ause you and I don鈥檛 talk that much.鈥�

鈥淚 love Larry,鈥� Obama goes on to tell a delightful story. 鈥淗e鈥檚 a pretty fair-skinned guy, so he lathers himself in sunscreen. It鈥檚 dripping and it鈥檚 caked white all over. It catches parts of his ears, then there鈥檚 big globs of it.鈥�

All the while, Seinfeld knew first-hand exactly he鈥檚 talking about. Exasperatedly remembering Mr. David鈥檚 sunscreen habits, 鈥淚 know,鈥� he says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 gross.鈥� The two commiserate.

Of course, the show isn鈥檛 without scripted comical moments, like when the White House gate security officer refusing to let the two drive off the premise in the Stingray 鈥� twice.

The joy of the episode, however, lies in the handfuls of quips Obama makes throughout their casual exchange. Dishing on his greatest food weakness, nachos, he graphically describes, 鈥淚鈥檒l have guacamole coming out of my eyeballs.鈥� Grilling Seinfeld over his existential ambitions, he asks, 鈥淎t a certain point, you might have thought to yourself, you know what, 鈥業鈥檓 more than just a comedian. I鈥檓 going to make a Jewish version of Citizen Kane.鈥欌��

All in all, Obama reminds America in the 19-minute episode something that it already knew. With nearly 200 television appearances, including nine visits to the David Letterman show and six stints on Jay Leno, he reminds his constituents that he鈥檚 a cool, funny guy who can crack a joke about politics.

But the playful politician side of him doesn鈥檛 squander the opportunity. 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 get to work in Obamacare,鈥� he says, as they鈥檙e finishing their coffee. 鈥淯sually the only reason I do these things is because I鈥檓 promoting health care.鈥�

Obliged, Seinfeld looks into the camera and says, 鈥淧lease try Obamacare today.
