Two of America's biggest names have graced us with eight magical minutes of advice, reminiscing and laughing.

Derek Jeter's new media platform The Players' Tribune has been teasing the release of his full conversation with Barack Obama all week, and it definitely does not disappoint.

The interview includes President Obama quotes that will inspire young slackers everywhere such as, "At 15, I was not the most responsible young man...I was getting by on charm and wit, but not taking my schoolwork as serious as I could have," Obama told Jeter. 

"And when I think back now, I say, if I just invested the time...Ya know, I might've made something of myself, doggonit."
