I'm sure I read years ago that he pronounces it with a hard G. Does he pronounce it that way in the video or just the presenters?

I once had Brian as an "intern" on my team. It is definitely -not- a hard G.

I'm going to guess that this was at Google, sometimes they structured visiting faculty as interns (Geoff Hinton was Jeff Dean's intern).
