>> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live!" tonight -- jeff bridges. from "bravo," jeff lewis. and music from capital cities. with cleto and the cletones. and now, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] ♪ ♪ >> jimmy: hi, everyone, nice to have you on the show. thank you for watching. thank you for all coming. thank you for joining us.

i appreciate that. you know, i read an interesting article today. that is right, i read. i've been reading for years. i was not aware of this, but there is a growing movement to split colorado into two states. apparently residents of northeast colorado which is much more rural than the rest of the state don't think they're properly represented in the state capitol. so they want to break off into pieces. but this is what happens when you legalize marijuana, everyone gets all paranoid and tries to secede. the idea i guess is to divide colorado into two states, one for white people, and the other for really white people. and they want to call the new state north colorado. you know, if you're going to go to the trouble of creating a new state, give it a cool name like the danger zone, or colorado 2, the reckoning.

north colorado is boring. maybe that is how kim kardashian's baby got her name. north. she saw who her parents were and decided to secede from that union. but the truth is that will never happen, they have as much chance of seceding from colorado as chucky has to secede from cheese. the last time something like that happened was almost 100 years ago in 1897, santa and his elves voted to secede from pole. you get it, right? [ applause ] and in paris, this is the fashion week where they create all the designer outfits that lady gaga will wear one day. if there is anybody i know who has a passion for fashion, it is my aunt gyppy. so we asked her to take a look, this is paris fashion week. >> paris fashion week.

hi, it is paris fashion week. let's see what kind of [ bleep ] they came up with this time. oh, look at this, they made little red riding hood into a slut. let's go. holy [bleep]. you got to be kidding me, i don't know where she would wear that crap to. i wouldn't wear a dress like that only because my ass comes down to the back of my knees, so i don't think i would look good in a dress like that. who the hell would wear that? she has got a dead chicken on her shoulder. holy [ bleep ] it looks like it dumped on her head. that is kind of nice, i hate to say something bad about it, but it is really kind of nice considering she is wearing a purple condom on her head. it ain't bad. she is wearing the emperor's new clothes, you're naked, you moron! oh, my god, she's actually got it hanging out. oh, my god, she has got her legs

covered and her pechaka over there is sticking out. why do i have to look at this? i mean, i'm an old lady who just wants to die in her bed with nobody bothering her. and i got to look at this crap. stuff i never looked at before and say it is fashion -- [ bleep ], [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that is what i grew up with. today is july 11th, it is 7-eleven, free slurpee day today, the day when americans get very excited about spending $4 in gas and wait two hours in line to get syrup and crushed ice. all day today to celebrate you can walk in and get a free 12-ounce slurpee. i have a very strict policy, i don't drink anything with the letter "p" in it.

new report out of perdue university says that diet soda may not be any better for you than regular soda. they say artificial sweeteners confuses your body, your body thinks you're getting real sugar, and when you don't there are imbalances in sugar. and the study says that everything is a lie, nothing is certain and we should all just probably give up. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hey, if you saw our prime time specials that we did during the nba. you probably saw this kid, trick shot titus. a two-year-old we found online. very good at shooting basketballs. he made an appearance on fox and friends this morning. he hit shot after shot, he was unstoppable. until brian kilmeade hit him with the ball and made him cry. oh, shame on you, brian, you monster, you are a monster personified. and eventually he calmed down, they brought him in the studio, what i think is a wonderful

lesson for a kid, they encouraged him to exact revenge. >> i have a good idea, take that ball right now and throw it as hard as you can at that. right here, right here. [ cheers and applause ] >> he has been juice boxing, he is going to be great at dodge ball. paula deen, you remember paula deen, right? well, apparently she is going to be a hero on a new comic book about female empowerment. it seems the only thing she empowers women to do is kill their families with her recipes. the comic female force, paula deen. the publisher says they were working on it for months before the controversy started so they must have thrilled. they believe the comic will still sell, mostly because paula deen is an iconic figure, and because the new book will be printed on bacon. this is the cover of the book.

how many of you think we made this up? how many of you think it is fake just by applause? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, we didn't, it is real. that is the cover. this, by the way, is also how paula wants to be buried when she dies. last night we showed a video, justin bieber in the kitchen of a restaurant in new york, peeing into a mop bucket and yelling f bill clinton! it got a lot of attention, he actually called bill clinton to apologize, how does that work? hang on prime minister, i have another call coming in. he tweeted about their conversation, he said at bill clinton, thank you for taking time to talk, mr. president. you know it is sincere when there's a hash tag. he tweeted this to the mop bucket. he said still not sorry, i pee where i want to. he still has some growing up to do. bieber reportedly offered to help president clinton with his

charity. the clinton global initial testify. seems like they're on good terms, although at the end of the call it did get a little awkward when clinton asked for selena gomez's phone number. and as you're aware, congress is doing a good job, on track to be the least productive congress in modern history. not only have they blown deadlines for every major legislation, but they have only passed 16 laws this year, the whole year. and two of them were originally supposed to be one. it was really supposed to be 15, one was to put a baseball player on a commemorative coin. so they're folk issing -- focusing on the important stuff. most of what i know about congress and how a bill becomes a law i know from the old school house rock cartoons. but they're like 40 years old. we made a new one to help teach this generation of young people how congress works. well, enjoy. >> hey, dad? >> yes, son? >> it seems like there are so many big problems in the world.

how is our government working to solve them? >> well, son, it is a bit complicated. >> well, can you tell me? >> i'm not sure. >> well, can you sing it for me? >> hm, maybe i can. it is a little like this. ♪ ♪ you're screwed, yeah, you're totally screwed ♪ the ten billion people and not enough food. they're cutting down the forests, the earth is getting hotter ♪ the air is full of poison and so is the water. ♪ you're screwed ♪ you're one screwed dude ♪ everyone is obese and hooked on narcotics ♪ ♪ the infectious diseases and reluctant antibiotics, you're screwed, you're screwed, you're screwed ♪ >> so gee, you're saying my generation faces the possibility of a bleak apocalypse-like future? >> that is true, the politicians

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: welcome back, jeff bridges, jeff lewis, and then capital city is on the way. before we get to them, i mentioned earlier on this week that mexico has surpassed the united states for fattest country. they're officially fatter than we are. i never thought this day would come. the americans are even too lazy to get fat. i thought it would make an interesting part for our segment. we went out on hollywood boulevard and asked a wide variety of people, are you fat? the way this will work, the pedestrian will say their name, where they're from, and then we'll try to guess if they think they're fat.

that is tricky, we have to get inside a person's brain, let's meet our first participant. >> what is your name, where are you from. >> i'm jose, from las vegas. >> and are you fat? >> is jose fat? >> yes. >> jimmy: all right, he will be happy to hear that. >> yes, i am. >> name one person fatter than you. >> that would be my sister. >> jimmy: all right, next up? >> jordan from minnesota. are you fat? >> jimmy: all right, is jordan fat? one yes, the rest no! >> no. >> what about now? >> no. >> what about now? >> no. >> jimmy: give it time, they will get to it eventually? >> next, jim, from san antonio. >> are you fat? >> jimmy: all right, is jim fat? >> no. >> jimmy: that is another tough one, i don't know, okay, well,

treat your kids. and do you remember "time out"? your kid is not behaving and you give them a time out. isabel says oh, no, dad, we don't do that. i said what do you mean? she is a yoga teacher, into meditation and different things, she said dad, what the child is experiencing is the general uneasiness of being a human being, and focusing with anxiety, i'm not going to put her away, i'm going to just sit there and let her experience, so isabel will sit there for an hour with her, saying no, gracy, you can't have it. and finally, she will say okay, mommy, quit talking to me, please. she will say okay, gracy, i'll stop, but you still can't have it. >> jimmy: i think it is an interesting theory, now when i think about it in those terms when you put them in timeout,

you're sending them away from you, putting yourself in timeout. >> it is a way of saying we all have these kind of feelings. and i wish sometimes somebody would do that to me. i get so anxious sometimes and attach it to something that i can't have or something. but it is really not about that. i think it is just the general anxiety of being alive. you know? >> jimmy: i don't see you as an anxious person. >> well, i'm an actor. it is an act, man. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: but timeout sounds kind of nice, funny, as an adult, that is what you need -- >> time out from -- >> jimmy: i would like to go to prison. i sometimes think about this. because i imagine like, i would have time to read and just kind of sit there. >> i feel a dissolve now, you can dissolve into your prison skit.

>> oh, jimmy, we jam, we have a great time. >> jimmy: all right, okay. >> she takes care of me, though. and i do my best to take care of her, we're a good team. >> jimmy: do you behave yourself or do you feel compelled to act like a rock star when you're out on the road? >> well, these guys are well seasoned. but you can imagine being this -- you know, a teenage dream when i get out there with my guys. it is just a wonderful, amazing type of feeling. and that first night i tend to celebrate a little bit. and i re-learn the lesson. >> jimmy: you re-learn it, yes. so the advice, people do not come near the end of the tour. or come near the end of the tour, don't come at the beginning, middle of the tour. >> maybe the second night might be a rough night. >> jimmy: second night. all right, that is good advice. we're going to take a quick break. jeff bridges is here. his movie is called r.i.p.d. we'll be right back.

♪ [ cheers and applause ] his show is called interior therapy. welcome jeff lewis! >> jimmy: good to have you here. >> thank you. >> jimmy: you re-design and renovate homes. you're a very demanding boss and person in general, true?

>> i thought you were going to say in demand -- >> jimmy: both of those things? >> yes, i am very much a perfectionist, so i am very self-critical, and critical of the people who work for me. because ultimately, it is about the product, we are designing really some of the most beautiful luxurious homes in the united states. so i have a reputation to uphold. and i think the people that work for me, you know, they have to be accountable. >> jimmy: and do you think they know what they're in for? who do you think they would rather work for, you or kim jong-un? are there benefits to you yelling at them? i think oh, my god, i don't know how i would handle this if i worked for you. >> this is going to surprise you. there is a lot of turnover in my office. there were days we would hire them and get all the paperwork and the contracts. and they would start the first

day, and this is after i put everything together, hiring attorneys to put it altogether, and they would quit, sometimes hours later. now what we do is bring in people on a trial basis. so i am one for hiring interns to see how it works. and if it works, they become paid interns and assistants. they have to work their way up the ladder, because that is how i have been successful. and think that -- look, i'm not the smartest guy in the room. but i think the key ingredient to success is really hard work. and when i'm hiring people, i don't always look for the smartest person. i don't always look for the kick ass resume with the ivy league education, i look for people that are maintaining two or three jobs. i hired a girl, she worked three jobs, she wants it, she is hungry and will work for it. >> jimmy: and you make them work for it, for sure. i see you, and i think that is what i want in a guy running --

renovating my house. because of course, you know there are a lot of characters involved. but i watched the show that is going to air this week. and you had a couple -- i really -- like i was yelling at the television. because the woman had six or seven cats in the house. >> yes, yes. >> jimmy: the baby is allergic to cats. >> yes. >> jimmy: the husband is allergic to cats. it is a disaster of a house, a filthy house. not only do you fix the house, you get in there and talk the situation out with them. >> you have to understand, i have six days to remedy the situation and i want to make an impact, sometimes i go in and people don't necessarily like my bedside manner. i have the clock ticking. it is not so much about the renovation, because while we're in the house we renovate the home. but it is about getting the people unstuck. this woman was depressed, the only solace she was getting was

rescuing cats. but she was neglecting her children in the process. the baby is allergic to cats, covered in rashes and flea bites and there is a cat in his crib. people don't like that i go off the handle and scream, but sometimes nice -- doesn't always work. >> jimmy: you know what i wanted to do, board up the house and fill it up with gas, that is what i was hoping you would do. i was at the point where i wanted to call the husband and tell him he could come live with me. because he just wanted to reduce the number of cats to four, which seemed reasonable. >> yes, and we ended up re-locating them outside because we converted the garage to kind of a guest house. we ended up moving the cats outside. look, i'm an animal lover, i don't want to just drop the animals at the shelter. so we did relocate the cats, got them out of the house. i don't know what -- she is still very depressed. and i always recommend that maybe you should go on medication or see a doctor or -- while i'm out the door. >> jimmy: renovation and medication.

you have zoyla, what is she? your housekeeper? >> yes, i have nine employees in the house, i choose to work from home. i probably should have an office but at this point i don't want one. i really like being at home. there is chaos, we have dogs working around, we work in the living room in my house. and that is the way i want it. it is a very different environment because it is a bunch of creative types, not really a very strict corporate environment. and i am very unorthodox the way i run my business. >> jimmy: zoyla tried to kill you once, right? >> i'm very sometimes hard on my employees, which breeds resentment over time. zoyla, who has been my housekeeper for over ten years, there are better ways really to work out your anger. but what happened was, she fed me bacon which i thought was

weeks old. she actually said months old. and i don't think she wanted to kill me but i believe she wanted to hurt me. i was sick -- >> jimmy: just a light poisoning. >> for several days. once in a while we have mutiny. >> jimmy: and that is not a fireable offense for you. >> i kind of get it -- like i -- i understood why she wanted to hurt me. i do, because sometimes you get really angry. i understand. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: she is a dangerous woman. be very nice to zoyla. >> i tell you, i am so overly nice now. but i don't let her cook for me anymore. >> jimmy: make her the food taster, the show is very entertaining. called "interior therapy." tuesday nights, 9:00 on bravo. jeff lewis, everybody. [ cheers and applause ]
