i'm jimmy, the ol' hermit from up in the hills. we are in week nine thousand of lockdown. of stay-at-home. people are getting restless craving other human beings. and i want to address something that i believe may be the cardinal sin of quarantine. maybe you have experienced this. it's the random unannounced drop-by. a friend calls you says, "hey, i'm pulling up in front of your house. come outside and say hello." and what are you gonna do? you're trapped. they know you're in there not doing anything. there's no getting away. so you put on pants and a mask and you go out in front and you have a weird, muffled conversation next to your mailbox for eight minutes. that has to stop. and while we're at it, family zoom calls? let's max those out at 12 minutes. 12 minutes. there's nothing going on you can't cover in 12 minutes. at that point you say, "okay, zip it, grandma, we've heard enough!" here in los angeles county officials have announced that they are hoping to open things

up by the 4th of july. the way it'll work is everyone will rush to the beach on the 4th of july sweat all over each other and then, we will die. which will be good for traffic on the 405. as of yesterday, pet groomers and trainers were allowed to open back up. which seems weird given that they say pets can spread the virus to people and people can spread it to pets. maybe we should start training our pets to groom us. one thing we might not have in l.a. is the oscars. word around town is that the academy awards, which are scheduled for february will not happen in february. why they would cancel a show that is nine months away, i don't know. seems to me like a pretty blatant attempt to keep "sonic the hedgehog" from winning best picture. i guess this is just the next logical step. the last two years they had no host now they have no show. meanwhile on the other side of the reaction coin in galveston, texas. they went right ahead with their annual "go topless jeep

weekend." that event led to nearly 200 arrests and some delightful interviews, too. >> thousands have flocked here to the peninsula to make the most of their time while out. >> quarantine, i need to get out and party! woo! >> go topless jeep weekend. >> what's better than a few drinks, beach and drinks. >> in full swing on bolivar peninsula. beachgoers like chelsea collier are still taking precautions to stay safe. >> wash them hands for 20 seconds! >> jimmy: you know the slogan "don't mess with texas?" she's the mess. maybe this will make you think twice about hitting the beach. you know how they've been telling us to stay six feet apart? well, that might not be enough apart. according to a new study when it's windy, our saliva, can travel 18 feet in five seconds. which seems slow, but it's far. it's weird to think that over

the past two months my spit has traveled farther than i have. so when that runner goes by you from across the street? if there's any wind, get down on the ground. have you been watching the hydroxy horror picture show? the president this week claimed he has been taking hydroxychloroquine to stave off the coronavirus. and of course his disciples are doing it, too! trumpers who are wary of "big pharma" have started to make their own hydroxychloroquine at home. for real. and i have to say i like this idea. that's good old-fashioned american initiative! boil up some homemade hydroxy! what could possibly go wrong here's the thing. if you're dumb enough to think it's a good idea to make your own hydroxychloroquine at home, you're probably not smart enough to make your own hydroxychloroquine at home. most people can't even make a lemon meringue pie. last night i suggested that the president might be trying to kill himself and that we should keep an eye on him. and apparently that message resonated because i got a scolding today from white house

press secretary number four kayla macalooney. >> so no one should be taking this without a prescription from their doctor. >> but with that being said, i've seen a lot of annnnn particular coverage. jimmy kimmel said the president's quote trying to kill himself. joe scarborough saying this will kill you. neil cavuto saying what have you got to lose? the one thing you have to lose are lives. >> jimmy: she's definitely getting her hair colored. anyway, thank you for watching, kayleigh. it's always nice to welcome a new fan. as you know most schools have had to hold their graduation ceremonies online this month. the governor of mississippi, tate reeves, gave an online commencement for his alma mater florence high school. and pay special attention as he reads the graduates' names. >> a special shout out to the 2020 class of florence high school. congratulations, i'm proud of you.

to all the florence eagles, let's keep rolling. blake christian brock. harry azcrack. >> jimmy: harry graduated at the bottom of his class. but the azcrack family is still very proud. online school is still a major nuisance for parents and students around the country. one of our writers who happens to be the heiress to a candy fortune her name is joelle has a 60 year old nephew, it's crazy, she's 90 years old. she has a six-year-old nephew named joshua who got this assignment from his teacher. they told him to build a little bridge using coins. he was supposed to build it take a picture, and email it to the teacher. but he didn't take a picture nor did he build a bridge. instead, this is the what his teacher got a note that said, "you're not supposed to touch coins in my house because of the coronavirus." what a clever way to get out of doing homework! but not everyone can do this.

hi. >> jimmy: as long as you don't buffer, it will be okay. how you doing, patton? >> i'm doing well. the only thing that we are kind of short of on here is firewood. i wish i knew someone who had like a lot of firewood. >> jimmy: i do happen to have, you know, i've been getting a lot of people asking if it's real wood. which -- >> is it? >> jimmy: of course it's real wood. >> hey, look, we live in hollywood. that could be wallpaper. that could be a backdrop. come on, man. we don't know. >> jimmy: no, that's real wood. it's just, it's wood. what could be cheaper than wood if you're going to make wood. by the way, i enjoyed your netflix special, very funny. >> thank you. >> jimmy: i always enjoy your stuff. i learned something about you that i did not know previously. it's something that we have in common. when you were a teenager, you were a deejay for weddings and stuff, right? >> yes, i was a wedding deejay. >> jimmy: yeah, me too.

>> you were a wedding deejay? >> jimmy: i was, yeah, when i was in college. >> what years? like what years was that? in the '80s? >> jimmy: we're talking like 1987, '88, maybe a little bit into '89. >> oh, my god. yeah, i worked at this very, very low-budget deejay company, and we still used -- he was the last guy that would, that still used cassette tapes, long after they should not have been being used. he would defiantly not make the move to cds. so were you your own boss? did you work for a company? how did you do it? >> jimmy: i worked for a company called johnny d's disc jockey in air. you worked for the only company that used cassettes. because no one used cassettes

doing disc jockey work. >> yeah. >> jimmy: we had records. i carried crates of records with me. but how do you cue up a cassette? you have to listen and rewind? >> he had this weird device, where if he left a three second gap of silence between the songs on the mixes you could hit this button to stop at the fourth gap, but it would rarely actually work. so you would have cool and the gang "celebration " cued up and little river band "cool change" would come up. >> jimmy: you got your cools screwed up. >> if you were playing records, did you have two turn tables? or just one? how did that work? >> jimmy: of course, i was a real disc jockey. i do an a little bit of this, do this, made me look kind of cool. >> uh-huh. >> jimmy: i wasn't fast forwarding like you had to do. that's very sad. >> did you ever do the early,

like, would you have a song fade-out and the song that faded in had the same beat as the one, to kind of do this look, look how i'm mixing them. >> jimmy: of course, i mixed the gap band into the daz band. they had the same dpm. >> i've been to things where the guys really revel in going from michael jackson's "beat it" to ac/dc's "back go black". they would switch genres, but the songs have the same beat. there was that little moment of oh, my god. >> jimmy: yeah, that's not great when your grandparents are out on the dance floor. it's different at a wetting tddn at a dance club. i'm glad we have that in common. we could talk about this for two hours. something happened, you had a fight with your wife, yes. >> yeah, we had a fight. i stormed out of the house to go

on a hike, like, i'm going on a hike! i won! halfway through my hike, i was like, we're fighting over nothing, i have to apologize. when i came back to my car, she had left a note on my car, but it was the most ominous note, which basically said stop, get out of your car, walk to the car in front of you. i love you. i thought oh, my god, i'm about to be killed. and to prove it, i have the video. she shot a video of me finding the note. look how terrified i am. >> jimmy: okay. this is video. you coming back from your angry hike. >> yes. >> jimmy: and finding the note. >> oh, hold on. there's a note. oh, what's this? >> jimmy: is this a ticket? >> what is this? i unfold it. i was froze and terrified. >> jimmy: and the shooter is right there.

>> yes, at the end as i walk forward, you hear me go "i thought i was going to be assassinated". like i'm clearly shaken. >> jimmy: your wife meredith said she had a different version of the story and she wanted to share it. i heard her laughing, i think. >> oh, god. >> jimmy: meredith, tell us your version of the story. how are you? >> i'm good, how are you? >> jimmy: great, thank you. >> um, my version of the story, well, first of all, let me acknowledge that yes, the note seems ominous. >> seems! >> it seems ominous, because i was still mad when i wrote the note, so it's not like, notice i didn't say i forgive you. i said i love you, like you're going to come back from your hike after you've like thought how wrong you were and were you going to apologize to me. so i was giving him an opening. because in the special he says something like we had a blowout fight, and i said to her, i'm going for a hike!

and that's not at all how it happened. we got in a fight, and i said, oh, my god, i'm leaving. not, you know, forever, just like out the door. >> jimmy: mm-hm. >> and he's, like, well, i'm going on a hike. like he was wrong the whole time. >> oh, so i did a -- "you can't fire me, i quit"? >> are you kidding? in other words, he tells the story on the show as if he's like, she thought she should apologize, and i thought, and we both realized we made a mistake, but he's the one who made the mistake. and i was gracious enough to give him an opening to apologize. >> i remember -- >> which, by the way, he did, because he's a great husband. >> i did, but i remember us blowing something out -- you say i was completely in the wrong? >> you don't remember it right. but i do, because i was wronged and you weren't. >> jimmy: there's no more ominous note than to write i

love you. >> with just a period. not even a heart, just a period. it's such a sicilian method. >> jimmy: i want do keep you both here. the charity you've chosen for us to donate to tonight is a special charity. it's called alice's kids. i know your daughter's name is alice. these are not her kids, though. >> she doesn't have kids yet. >> no, she's 11. no kids yet. this isn't arkansas. it's this amazing charity. they get the essential supplies and experiences and food and clothing for at-risk kids and do it in a way that it's done anonymously so that the kids don't have to deal with, sometimes there's a stigma in getting charity. so they also do an end-run around that so the kids can have the fun, dignified childhood, and it's really amazing.
