we appreciate your time as always. >> thanks for joining us. >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight -- kobe bryant. from "boy genius", miles brown. and music from marina. and now, good measure, jimmy kimmel. ♪ [cheers and applause] >> jimmy: hi, everyone. thanks. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for coming. please, relax. settle in. we're, we'you're not working, i. we're back to work. we were off two weeks for summer vacation. we send best wishes to thoses of you who are or will be in the path of hurricane dorian. they've ordered evacuations in florida, georgia, north carolina, south carolina.

this is a big one. this is no joke, this hurricane, unless of course you are part of the graphics team at fox 5 new york. >> for the lesser antilles, you see winds at around 60, 65 miles per hour. a low-end hurricane. >> jimmy: the weather men get very excited in these types of situations. anyway, it's good to be back. the most interesting take on the storm in my opinion is not from a meteorologist. it came from a random guy in florida, yes, who believes we could put a stop to these storms if we just use the resources we already have. >> see how they haven't come up with some kind of way to combat these storms yet. they keep saying, you know, two days ago, three days og, oh, it's going to hit all this warm weather, all this warm weather and warm water. we have a navy. why don't the navy come and drop ice in the warm water so it

can't get going as fast as it's going. there's got to be ways to combat this instead of just pointing at the thing and saying, it's getting worse. you know it's getting worse. but you tell us, oh, it's the warm weather, oh, it's the wind. we have an air force. fly some air force winplanes tot the wind going the other way. >> jimmy: you know, that's a thing. [cheers and applause] the answer's right there in front of our face. waiting for a man in a crazy hawaiian shirt to alert us to it. trump just named him director of fema, by the way. the president has been tweeting up a storm about this storm, which he believes to be the bigliest he's ever seen. >> possibly the biggest. i am not sure, i'm not sure that i've even heard of a category five. i knew it existed. and i've seen some category fours. a category five, i don't know if

i've ever even heard the term other than i know it's there. >> jimmy: so he's never heard of a category five hurricane before, except this is four months ago back in may. >> i've just come from a stop at tyndall air force base where i saw the devastating effects of that category five hurricane. category five. never heard of a category fives before, category five is big stuff. >> jimmy: he never heard of it then, and he said he never heard of a category five about ten times when maria hit puerto rico. he has the memory and skin tone of a gold fin, thfish, this man. but while the storm was a brewin', he was a golfin'. the press secretary defended the decision. she said the president received hourly updates while he was on the course golfing. she says that like it sounds like a good thing. you know, all this nonsense

really sinks in when you're away from it for a while. since we left for vacation, the president canceled a trip to poland to monitor dorian from his golf course in virginia, tweeted 514 times. tried to buy greenland and threw a fit when they wouldn't sell it, suggested firing a nuclear missile at a hurricane. announced he would be suing people who work for him for violating confidentiality agreements. attacked grace from "will & grace", debra messing, predicted sean spicer will do great on "dancing with the stars." congratulated poland on the nazi invasion. and wished a happy birthday to regis, which that, i don't mind, happy birthday to regis. but this thing with tiffany. [ applause ] oh, no, don't encourage him. after the story about tiffany

broke, trump, who, again, fired his long-time assistant for this. trump was in the unique position of having to convince reporters that even though he fired the woman for saying he didn't want his daughter around he had to tell them he never said he didn't want his daughter around. here he is responding to the question did you talk to tiffany. >> she's going to be calling me back as soon as i get to camp david. >> what are you going to tell her? >> i'm going to say it's absolutely false. she's a wonderful person. she studies so hard. she's a great student, and she's a great person. i look forward to talking to her. i'll be talking to her as soon as i deget -- and i love tiffan. tiffany's a great person. >> jimmy: poor testify tiffany. her father shows more love for kim jong un. just when you thought ireland couldn't get any whiter in come the fences. and while they're in ireland,

they're staying at the president's golf resort in dune bag, it's 180 miles from dublin where pence is having his meetings. trump suggested pence stay at his hotel while he's there, and pence said woof, woof, which is his way of saying, yes, i will. and while some took offense to the vice president's choice of hotel, mike pence had no kpree hencebling thoughts on that subject at all. >> just to give you a chance to respond. democrats have criticized you today for staying at the trump property in dune bag. they say you're enriching the president. what's your response to that criticism? >> it's wonderful to be back in ireland. for many reasons. ireland is so important to the united states of america as a trading partner, but in so many ways for more than 30 million americans, ireland is family. and i'm one of them.

>> jimmy: he's like a broken teddy ruxpin doll. you think mike pence would eat dog food if trump told him to? i bet he would. but the vice president's trip to dune bag is historic. it is the first time a trump property has ever stayed at a trump property. so -- [cheers and applause] that's not the only item of interest. the white house deputy press secretary tweeted about this trip last night. this is good. this is a real tweet from a senior official on the white house communications team. it refers to the fact that the prime minister of ireland is gay. this guy wrote for all of you who still think our vp is antigay, i point you to his and the second layy'sulwhe they will join the prime minister and his partner matthew barrett for lunch in ireland. so i guess that settles that. he had lunch with gay people and didn't throw up. if that isn't proof that he's open minded, what's got to do?

[ applause ] pence by the way is traveling with his wife and his mother, you know he calls his wife "mother." so what does he call his mother? "wife"? snook'ems, perhaps? in italy, the pope had a very weird thing happen. pope francis was late for mass on sunday at the vatican for an unusual reason. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> jimmy: hold on, what did he just say? you can't say -- anyway go on. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> jimmy: it's true, the pope got stuck in an elevator and had to be rescued. took him 25 minutes to get him out. took almost half an hour to get the pope out of an elevator. i wonder if he had to pick up

that red phone and wait for someone in slovenia to get him. he said thank god, the fire department came. i guess jesus isn't the only one who saves. [ applause ] speaking of the anointed one, lebron james, you know how he likes to instagram about taco tuesday, he loves taco tuesday like no one loves anything, so much so that he has filed an application to trademark the term. he would own the phrase "taco tuesday " , . that belongs to all of us. it's like a national park. we're all allowed to use it. what if i were to decide to trademark sunday fun day, would that be okay? no, i have to ask kobe bryant about this. it's the day after labor day, which means summer is unofficially done and pumpkin

spice season has begun. guillermo, did you have a hot girl summer this sum snmer? >> what? >> jimmy: never mind. i spent the morning thinking what does hot girl summer mean? did you try one of those popeye's chicken sandwiches? >> no, i didn't, generally. i don't like to wait too much. >> jimmy: people are going nuts. the popeye's chicken sandwich could be what finally unites or more than likely tears the country apart for good. for lot of kids across the country, today was the first day at school. was this benji's first day? >> yeah. >> jimmy: my kids went back to school today, and we were glad to see them go, three months was enough. in honor of back to school day, we did something fun. we went out on the street and asked adults who are no longer in school to share a message with children who are, and that went exactly like this. >> today we are trash talking kid whose have to go back to school and tell them how much

better it is to be an adult. can you do that? >> good luck on your book reports, i'll be getting drunk with some mimosas in my work meetings tomorrow. >> ooh, right notice middle in the day? >> right in the middle of the day. >> i forgot how to read. i don't know how to read in cursive. [ bleep ] you're sitting there, i'm out here enjoying life. >> ha, ha. you're still in school. no more books for me. >> when's the last time you read a book? >> probably like ten years ago. >> what was it? >> "huckleberry finn." >> how was that? >> it was whack. >> what will you drink more of this week, tiny cartons of milk or vodka? >> vodka. >> i'm watching sports center. >> how much better is it to be an adult? >> ten times better. once you turn 21 you can drink

all the time you want, you don't have to hide anymore. i barely went to high school. i was mostly high in school. >> how many book reports are you going to be writing this week? >> book reports? i haven't read a book in years. book reports? what? we used to use the summer reading list to roll our books with. >> when's the last time you used geometry? >> honestly, no idea, man. i was saying, i was looking at [ bleep ], but that's not what that is, right? >> what's 12 times seven? >> i don't remember, don't even ask me. >> what's 12 times seven? >> uh. >> what's 12 times seven? >> i don't know, like 70 something. >> an a little bit higher. >> 82. >> a little higher. >> 84. >> what's 12 times seven? >> 5:00 somewhere.

driver. >> jimmy: is that just when you're in the car? >> no, always, she's very calm, cool and collected. i'm very proud of her. >> jimmy: the next one's going to be a maniac behind the wheel. >> i always say, you look at the eldest daughter. she's always the calm, responsible, thoughtful one, you know? and then the second sister's like a tornado, you know, like elsa and anna. you know, yeah, she can freeze the city and all that, but she's responsible about it, then there's anna who just jumps off a cliff and that stuff. that's certainly our house. but then we have two other ones. >> jimmy: your second oldest is gianna. >> yeah. >> jimmy: so you almost gave her the name anna. hundred a ga you had a playoff game against the suns, tied the game, went into overtime and scored like six seconds left. then you raced to the delivery room and late other that

evening, like early in the morning your daughter was born. >> that sounds about right. >> jimmy: okay. >> it was either that night or the day after. i can't remember exactly. >> jimmy: did you know your wife was in labor while you were playing the game? >> no, it didn't happen during the game. it happened after. >> jimmy: so there's no thought like maybe i'll miss this one and head home? >> instead of sending the game to overtime? >> jimmy: maybe overtime's not a good idea in the long run? >> yeah. >> jimmy: yeah. >> no, fortunately, that wasn't the situation. >> jimmy: you would have played ten overtimes if it came down to it, would you not? >> no. >> jimmy: you would not. [ applause ] >> nope! >> jimmy: you're no dummy. >> hey, mentality upside my head. >> jimmy: you did an interview, and you were talking, kind of goofin' around, but you were talking about shaq, and were you saying, you know, talking about shaq who was, you know, not quite as driven as, no one's as

driven as you are, but you insinuated if shaq kept himself in better shape you would have even more rings than you have already. >> right. >> jimmy: and shaq took, did he take offense to that? >> yeah, i think he did a little bit. but here's the thing, you know, like it was really a compliment. people missed the whole first half of that in which i said he was the most dominant player i've ever seen, and i felt like he could have been the greatest of all time. jo >> jimmy: mm-hm. >> people kind of missed that part and caught onto the lazy part. we weren't going to win 12 rings or play our entire careers together. but it's all good, man. >> jimmy: what happens after that? do you go oh, boy, i better call him? or does he call you? how does it work? >> no, i reach out to him. >> jimmy: you reach out to him. >> he's more sensitive than i am. >> jimmy: did you text him? >> i did, i did. >> jimmy: what do you say in the text, hey, ha, ha, ha?

latina. so. >> jimmy: you have your own taco tuesday. lebron loses his mind over every week. >> everybody has their thing, bro. >> jimmy: i'm fine with taco tuesday. >> that's going to get him going, it gets him going. it's awesome. >> jimmy: do you take any role in encouraging guys like oh, lebron, you know, lakers' free agents to come to los angeles, other than maybe a tweet or something like that? >> no, no. i stay away from it. i'm real close with rob, obviou. we'll talk often just as a sounding board for him. >> jimmy: would you be allowed to do that, or would rob get fined if you were to do something like that. >> no, coy i could do it. >> jimmy: you could actually reach out to -- >> i could, but i won't. >> jimmy: you won't. why won't you? >> i stay away from that stuff, man. like rob is he's more than capable of handling the job and all the pressure that comes along with that.

i'm quick to tell him, listen, man, you're my guy, but you didn't get out on the court and score 40 points for me either. so i'm not going to do your job for you. >> jimmy: did he say i would have if i could do that? >> no, man. like we have a great relationship. so we'll talk and stuff and just as friends, but nothing, nothing serious. >> jimmy: were you surprised that kawhi leonard chose the clippers over the lakers? >> sure. >> jimmy: you were. >> sure. >> jimmy: you thought he was going to go to the lakers. >> sure. >> jimmy: who will go further in the playoffs, the leakeakers or clippers this season? >> it depends, and i say that not to be kind of cheeky about it, but injuries has played such a huge part. >> jimmy: let's say both teams are beautifully healthy from here on out. >> a lot of ifs. >> jimmy: a lot of ifs. cousins got hurt. >> is houston healthy as well. golden state healthy as well? we're doing everybody's healthy kind of thing?

>> jimmy: that l.a. rivalry. >> what if they're playing an injured houston rockets team and james can't play? or what if they're playing an injured golden state team. >> jimmy: can't you just play along with my game? >> no, no, i cannot. i cannot. there's too many variables, my man. i've got to think through this thing. >> jimmy: thinking is overrated. weary going to take a break. when we come back, kobe has a book. and not only is it good, it feels good, too. it's called "legacy and the queen". we'll be right back with kobe bryant.

and you're facing an opponent across the net that's challenging you, so it's very important to get those messages across and create character with our daughters. we don't see too many characters in militerature that are mixed. >> jimmy: in tennis, there's this isolation, even though it is a one on one sport. unlike basketball, you're guarding the guy, you're right there with the guy, you have this communication. you have this distance between you which can be very lonely in a way. >> it is, and you're dealing with your inner challenges. just you. there's no teammates to give you support poor encouragement. it's just you. you see a lot of tennis players talking to themselves or smacking their leg in frustration. >> jimmy: who's your favorite player? >> it's hard to go past the big three. federer and joke and nadal. i met chris everett, that was

awesome. chris everett's a bad-ass. >> jimmy: you're too young to really have seen chris everett in action. >> am i, though? i'll take it. >> jimmy: i think so. >> i'll take t ait, and obvious serena's the best of all time. she's the greatest. and i just, as tennis player, but as a general athlete. i had a chance to watch coco play and naomi. i'm a big naomi fan and love everything she's doing. >> jimmy: you're really getting into tennis. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i wonder, if you could pick up another sport to play professionally, would that be the sport? >> yeah, probably, then i don't have to watch my words when i'm talking about former teammates and stuff like that, because i ain't got none. >> jimmy: you'd have nobody to blame but yourself. but you'd probably tear up a few coaches along the way. >> beat the hell out of a few rackets maybe. >> jimmy: it's very good to see you. this is kobe's book. it's called "legacy and the
