I went looking for it, and apparently you’re right. He said “Jif”. He’s either trolling or an idiot. People don’t see it that way, especially seeing as it’s the hard “G” from “Graphical” in the acronym. So he’s applying a pronunciation rule of soft G when followed with “i” when used in a word to an acronym - and acronyms aren’t words (noted: they can become treated as such).

GIF is not a word. So soft “g” when followed by “i” does not apply.
