the evening. stay tuned now for jimmy kimmel. we'll see you tomorrow. good night. >> announcer: from hollywood it's "jimmy kimmel live." tonight. maya rudolph, malcolm gladwell and music from kings of leon. and now, jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: well, thank you. hi, i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thank you for joining me for -- thank you -- hour 4 of our live coverage of the nfl draft. and with the 238th pick, the cincinnati bengals select -- guillermo rodriguez. they had the nfl draft tonight in cleveland and i don't want to sound ungrateful but i thought i'd be picked much higher than i was. it's weird that abc has the nfl draft but no nfl.

we're like a restaurant that has a menu but no food. [ laughter ] quarterback trevor lawrence from clemson was expected to be picked first by either jacksonville or vidal sassoon. wow! what a beautiful man, look at that hair! he's like a young giselle bundchen. [ laughter ] look out, tom brady. someone's comin' for that handsome throne. you know, today if you haven't been counting- is president biden's 100th day in office. and even his opponents, if they're honest, have to admit, he has accomplished a lot. in those 100 days, 43% of the population is at least partially vaccinated, the economy is up 6%, and our national level of malarkey has dropped to near-historic lows. in trump's first 100 days, he accomplished a lot too. he tweeted that snoop dog's career was failing, nordstrom's was mean to ivanka, and he was a better host of "the apprentice" than arnold schwarzenegger. but it's hard to compare these two.

it's like apples and an orange. [ laughter ] thank you. joe biden today took a little stroll with the first lady on the way to marine one. the helicopter, and he stops and picks a flower for her. boy, this guy doesn't miss a beat, does he? [ cheers and applause ] that was like straight out of a cialis commercial. [ laughter ] a dandelion. you know, during the depression, joe used to use dandelions to make soup. the only thing trump picked up and gave melania required a shot of penicillin. [ laughter ] biden last night gave his first address before a joint session of congress. it was a hopeful speech. he spoke about turning peril into prosperity. he said "life can knock us down. but in america, we never stay down. in america, we always get up." except for ted cruz who was sound asleep. during a lot of this, look at

him, dreaming of cancun, no doubt. [ laughter ] lyin' ted just turned into snoozin' cruz. but you know who wasn't sleeping last night? the second gentleman, doug emhoff. he was wide awake and very alone. [ laughter ] no dandelions for doug. well, i think, watch this, because i think he just signalled for kamala to steal second base. after the speech an amazing thing happened, every black republican senator got together to let the american people know the republican party isn't racist. >> by doubling down on the divisions we've worked so hard to heal. you know this stuff is wrong. hear me clearly, america is not a racist country. >> jimmy: and then tim promptly returned to the sensory deprivation egg he calls home. [ laughter ] senator scott accused democrats in his rebuttal of using race as a weapon. when the truth is we're more concerned about people using weapons as a weapon.

race would be a terrible weapon. what would you do, melanin a person to death? [ laughter ] have you been following the feud between kanye and walmart? walmart has filed what's known as a "notice of opposition" to a logo kanye is trying to trademark. walmart claims kanye's logo is "confusingly similar" to their own design. these are the logos in question. kanye's is on the left, walmart's is on the right. basically, kanye and walmart are fighting over who gets to use a doodle of a butthole. right? [ laughter ] can you copyright that? and would it really be so bad for walmart to get their stuff confused with kanye's? a pair of sneakers he owned just sold for two million dollars. if i was kanye, i would go further. i would start wearing a blue vest and handing out "welcome" stickers too. [ laughter ] you know, ever since i was kid there's been something that i always wanted to do, and that is a cartwheel. my little sister could do it

with ease and it drove me crazy. that i couldn't do it because it seems like an easy thing everyone should be able to do. so, now that i'm in my fifties, it seemed like the right time to right this wrong. so we got in touch with olympic gold medalist gabby douglas and asked her if she'd be so kind to teach me and guillermo how to do a cartwheel. [ cheers and applause ] >> this is where it happens. this is where my cart wheeling career begins, yours too guillermo, we couldn't possibly have a better coach, gabby douglas, how many golds do you have? >> i have three gold medals. >> jimmy: so you've done cart wheels then, did you start when you were born. >> i started at three years old. >> jimmy: has anyone ever died doing a cart wheel?

>> no. >> we can get hurt right? >> i don't think so, no. >> jimmy: if anyone can get hurt it's us. >> do you guys want the to stretch. >> let me get ready. >> jimmy: don't tell me you're wearing a cool outfit or else i would have too. [ cheers and applause ] you got something in there? >> what do you mean? >> jimmy: i mean is there some kind of a sock in there? what's going on? >> no -- >> jimmy: can i touch it? >> yeah, you can touch it. >> jimmy: yeah there's some padding or something like that. his version of a padded bra. >> can we do some butterflies. maybe straight in and pull. >> let me -- >> jimmy: i've never seen the bottom of your feet before. >> me too. >> let's go through the details of a cart wheel, the front leg is really the foundation and this leg will

just follow. >> jimmy: uh-huh. >> so it will be, one, two, three, four. like, that action. if that makes sense. [ laughter ] >> should i go lose some weight and come back. >> no i think all people can do a cart wheel. >> jimmy: all right, give it 110%. >> ready. >> 110. >> jimmy: uh-huh. okay. so let's evaluate that. let's look at that again in slow motion, if we can, that wasn't slow motion. [ laughter ] >> don't want to go down like that. >> jimmy: that's exactly how i'm gonna do it. exactly. let me give it a try. >> all right, jimmy, go jimmy. >> jimmy: go jimmy. >> that was actually worse than

today, cancel them because we're going to be here all day. >> what jimmy did was start like this. >> jimmy: oh. >> and his energy is already going to go this way or down. >> jimmy: i think we have to concentrate on the artistry. >> it is all about artistry as well. >> jimmy: okay, so. >> that, okay -- that -- okay, you went like this but then you go down here and that arm's like. >> jimmy: oh. >> left out of the loop. unless you want to go one arm? >> no, i'm gonna break my arm. >> jimmy: she puts her hand down and then the leg. that's where we fail. i think we're really good for the first three percent of the cart wheel it's the next 97 we're having trouble with. >> come on jimmy, you can do it. >> yes. >> jimmy: okay. >> okay -- >> jimmy: that should be over. >> yeah. >> jimmy: yeah. i'll tell you right now, there's

no chance i'll be able to do this. >> no you can. >> give it a shot. >> i'll give it a im: ah >> whoa. okay. yeah. there. the back leg needs to just forward through. >> jeez. >> it's just that. >> yeah. >> think about not reaching for the ground, if that makes sense. because you're like, so -- >> jimmy: yeah, should we reach for the stars? >> reach for the air. >> jimmy: guillermo, let's do it together. >> red, 1, 2, 3, let's go. [ laughter ] ad, 1, 2, 3, let's . [ laughter ] y, 1, 2, 3, let's g. [ laughter ] . >> you know what's funny, that was so in sync. you guyed rolled together. >> jimmy: well we have chemistry, we work together a lot. >> that was, like, amazing

actually. >> jimmy: you're saying if there was a inch synchronized -- >> you would have won gold just there. >> so can we stop now? >> jimmy: no. artistry. >> maybe swing the leg over. >> okay. i did it right? ha ha. >> jimmy: yeah, you did artistry and cart wheel. i thought of something. artistry is what we'll call it from now on. >> jimmy, you almost got it. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah, you almost got it. it looked good, right. >> jimmy: he just wants to go home. >> almost.

almost. >> jimmy: i like the presentation. >> oh, my goodness. no it's -- no -- it's almost -- >> yeah! >> it's almost. >> wait. >> jimmy: let's bow to each other like it's karate. and now artistry. and now artistry. >> you did it jimmy. >> jimmy: we did it guillermo. >> good job, yeah.

>> jimmy: that was my best one. oh, thanks, guys. >> that's the best one you did jimmy. and i don't think it's gonna happen again. so i think we are done. thank you, gabby. >> jimmy: oh, are you ending this now? >> thank you, jimmy. there you have it, everybody. you can do cart wheel. doesn't matter if you're a kid, older, you can do cart wheel at any age. thank you very much. >> jimmy: gabby douglas, thank you. >> you guys did so amazing. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, thank you, thank you gabby. >> such a good job. >> jimmy: i appreciate it. >> such a good job. so nice. so nice. bye, guys. smierk -- make sure you ice that.

there and will and everyone's like you should get that checked out. it was like a huge, red swollen arm, which i did and i got antibiotics, apparently i am allergic to bees. >> jimmy: you didn't know. you never been stung by a kid. >> when you're a kid it's like i think i'm allergic to bees but i was trying to be tough guy, like, i got a show to do, it was really important, i had to race off and do your show. >> jimmy: the show must go on. >> that's right. >> jimmy: have you been bitten by an insect before, i know you said it was your first bee sting. >> that was really it, i never had a reaction before. i ended up going on a girl's trip the next day for my buddy's 50th, me and all my "snl" lauderdalys went -- ladies

went to palm springs and got massages and they took me to a glass house a little too far down the road, i got a massag and i'm like wow my leg's killing me. i'm like what is that black spider, oh, it's a black widow so the next day i got bit by a black widow. >> jimmy: do you have powers or anything? >> yeah, i have powers. i don't know what happened or why, but apparently no one had used the room in like 100 rooms, that's where they took me for the massage. >> jimmy: your collar actually looks like the markings on a black widow, that's why i thought maybea taned some power. >> are you saying i have some sort of witchery? >> jimmy: so we always hear about black widows what do you do when you are bit by a black widows. >> apparently, call the paramedics, which was news to me, so that helped me relax

completely. great, i'm gonna day. good news was i was with the funniest women on the planet. >> jimmy: who were you with? >> i was with amy poehler, was saying to my friend, the minute something like that happens, everyone goes into panic mode and really reflects their personality. so amy went into like, the paramedic was saying you're going to need do good to the emergency room she's like, you don't need to go to the emergency room. and teen ye-- tina fey was ther and was like i'm going to call my husband and gently panicked in the other room. rachel just got in the shower. [ laughter ] and paula pell was stroking me and gently cradling me and anna gaspar was like you're gonna be fine and my buddy emily and i

just started drinking champagne. >> jimmy: okay. so was amy the best, because it seemed like no one really helped. >> she did help. she did help. we did not go to the emergency room. she's like, you don't need to go to the emergency room. it was a lot of like, these aren't the drugs you're looking for. it was helpful because you need that person in crisis who's gonna have your back. >> jimmy: could you imagine if you guys all went into the emergency room, the looks on their faces at the hospital, it would have seemed like you were shooting a movie or something. >> yeah, pretty much. >> jimmy: i'll tell you another thing about that whole emergency room thing, i think at least half of that is whether the group wants to go to the emergency room or not. because someone's going to have to go with you if you go, right. >> yeah, amy didn't want to go to the emergency room. >> jimmy: right right. [ laughter ] >> we had a -- a reservation at a restaurant, so we decided to

do that. [ laughter ] i think the bee sting kind of saved my life. so, i don't know. i think because i had the bee sting the day before i had the antibiotics, saved my life, so i just did a lot of drinking that weekend and i was fine. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. and what do you guys do, besides getting the usual massages and eating and drinking do you have activities? >> there were planned activities. we did one in wine country which we ended up making the basis for a movie we all did together and it was based on that trip that i got bitten by a snake in that version of it. >> jimmy: oh. [ laughter ] >> and we -- oh, we actually had a tarot card reader who was cranky and mean and hated us by the name of granny rainbow. she was a real delight. >> jimmy: granny rainbow. >> granny rainbow did not care for us. she was not the warmest.

you would have thought from the yelp and her name, the review was probably 35 years old. >> did you find her on yelp? >> i think someone did. granny rainbow this will be a real kick. we got there, she was judgmental andiritable and didn't like it when we sort of didn't take the whole thing seriously. was a real hoot. >> jimmy: you would think when you're name's granny rainbow maybe things wouldn't be taken so seriously when you show up. >> you would think. maybe that's the catch. she's like i know how to piss people off i will call myself granny rainbow and then be a complete [ bleep ]. >> jimmy: you have two of the most happiest pleasant words in the english language one would be granny, and one would be rainbow. >> yeah it's not like she was like old dump truck guys.

[ laughter ] i feel like, give them a chance to do it because we're not doing such a great job of it. >> you have a point, yeah. >> jimmy: the ill-effects of social media, is that correct? >> that's correct. and it's nice, you know, when we first started making the movie the word apocalypse was not a word i liked to can use in front of my childrn but when i explained to them it was a movie about a family on a road trip that ends in a robot apocalypse they're like, great, we dead. [ laughter ] pretty much similar to the vibe

we're experiencing. >> jimmy: yeah. >> but it's actually a really lovely movie because it's a really loving family, a great, weird family with a lot of imperfections. and yeah, social media has been such an amazing part of all of our lives, you know. >> it's funny, i think we all know it's bad for us and we just keep on consuming it. doesn't matter how much we know. >> yeah. especially as a parent. we have to use our phones, for example, to, you know, keep up with things, check our e-mails at the same time we're telling our children to get off their devices and we're on ours and we look like complete hypocrites. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and i agree with you, i think the robots might have something on us. i think question might need some help. >> jimmy: yeah my robo is plotting against me. i notice something's up in the middle of the night. speak of movies that maybe are

harbingers of the future, the movie "idiot raci" is a movie you're in. a movie that mike judge wrote and directed. it was done on obviously a shoestring budget but now you look at that movie, i remember enjoying it when it came out, how long ago did that movie come out. >> someone said 15 years ago. >> jimmy: it's crazy. >> right. >> terry camacho. we just had a president who was in the wwe hall of fame. >> that's the thing, i showed the movie to my kids. >> jimmy: you did? >> when the movie was cg out, i'm sorry, during this past election when you know who was

elected we were showing the movie laughing thinking it was funny and then it just wasn't funny. [ laughter ] it was a little too real. and yeah, i showed it to my kids, they were kind of like okay that's a nice documentary. >> jimmy: one of the things in the movie was crocs which were a brand new thing back then. >> that's funny because when we were making the movie the costume designer was saying, oh, i had to get this new shoe, it's like this plastic shoe and everybody -- because the movie is about dumb dumbs in the future. >> jimmy: yeah. >> and how dumb everybody's getting, so all these dummies in the future are just wearing this shoe that makes your foot look like barney rubble. i'm like this say weird, dumb shoe. this is so dumb. now i have many pairs. [ laughter ] i think they're already back. i have strawberry crocs

i dress the children in crocs the dogs are in crocs. crocs are taking over the world. >> jimmy: maya, thank you for being with us, you'll be with us on mark robber's youtube channel so i will see you then, >> jimmy: "the mitchells vs. the machines" is on netflix now. we'll be back with malcolm gladwell.

[ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> jimmy: welcome back, music from kings of leon is on the way. our next guest is a hugely successful author and podcaster with six new york times bestsellers. his latest is both an immersive audiobook and a hardcover regular book "the bomber mafia" is available now. please say hello to malcolm gladwell. [ cheers and applause ] . hey, malcolm. >> hey, jimmy. >> jimmy: how you doing? >> very well, how about you? >> jimmy: i'm doing well, i feel weird holding up the book because the book is a book but the experience of listening to this, i don't think calling it an audio book really even explains what it is. because it is this combination of radio drama, narrated book also with real first-person interviews mixed in and sound

effects and music and everything. it's very interesting. >> oh, it's, yeah, this is -- we're really excited about this. we've been doing projects like this with this audio company, bushkin industries, this is the first fully immersive one we've done. i discovered there's all this incredible tape of these generals from the second world war at maxwell air force base and there's a treasure trove so i realized i could tell this weird story about these guys in the air force back in the 1930's and c you could hear all their voices, i wasn't describing like an abstract thing, it's like they're sitting with you, explaining their ideas, dreams and hopes. >> jimmy: wow. explain what the bomber mafia was. >> it was a group of incredibly idealistic young pilots in montgomery, alabama, who fell in

love with bombing and thought they could reinvent war, thought they could fight a war without killing hundreds of thousands of people. that you could make every other part of the military obsolete and just use bombers and drop them with such precision that you wouldn't have to have it battles on battle fields and you wouldn't have to kill a lot of civilians. they did a exercise that they imagined could you take out new york city with 14 bombs, and they said they could if you do the aqueducts and power grids and bridges. >> jimmy: don't say it allow. >> yes. >> jimmy: that was quite some time ago. it's really amazing to find a story like this from world war ii which there's been a whole history channel and all these books and stuff and somehow you find this story that is an amazing story and really upsetting when you really listen to the details and you hear

these people who were -- well, talk about japan and that, the mission, and why it was so unusual and devastating financial >> well, -- >> well, the book is leading up to what i call the longest night of the war which is when the u.s. air force attacked tokyo with b-29 bombers filled with napalm and burned 16 square miles of tokyo to the ground in one night, incinerating 40 to 50,000 people. it's one of the deadliest night in human history. i wanted to understand. i went to tokyo. i went to this tiny museum on a side street that was commemorated to that night. i went there almost randomly and realized i wanted to understand how did we get to the point where american bombers dropped napalm on tokyo and incinerated 50,000 people in one night,

that's where the genesis of this story was it's the strangest, weirdest, and fascinating characters, just extraordinary people, a dutch genius who invented the an a log computer. >> jimmy: the characters in the book are certainly american heroes are also nutty, a little bit, right. . >> oh, my favorites, one of the guys, haywood hanson one of the heroes of the book is so obse obsessed with bombing, he's never home, he goes home to have dinner with his wife for the first time in months and in the middle of dinner he hears a sound, says what's that noise, the wife says that's your son, he's crying. if you feel guilty about not being home enough look at him he'll make you feel better. >> jimmy: what's that noise, that's something.

i think people should listen to the audio book. my inclination is usually to grab the hard cover but i think the way to go is the audio book. >> go to bombermafia.com. it's waited to be downloaded. >> jimmy: are you working on your new season of podcast right now? >> oh, yes, i am. you know what i'm doing. >> jimmy: what are you doing. >> the signature of this season is three episodes, three, jimmy, on the little mermaid, on the cinematic dumpster fire that is the little mermaid in which i tear that movie to shreds and show the world how to make it better. >> three episodes about the little mermaid! >> i have more time on the little mermaid than the little mermaid, the little mermaid is 80 minutes i do an hour and half, two hours on little mermaid. i totally lose my mind, totally lose my mind. >> jimmy: when did you fashion this grudge against the little mermaid?

>> i never watched it as a kid. i didn't watch any disney movie, i'm also old, it came out when i was like a grown man, i met this sociologyists who is hilarious, she wrote an article on what was wrong, she's like i'm going to give a little version of what goes wrong with the movie. she's also a lawyer. so i call her up. i watch the movie myself i'm lining oh, my god this movie is terrible, the whole last third of it is a complete outrage, it violates so many moral principles. [ laughter ] so i go to the point where, do you know who brit marley the brilliant screen writer is. >> jimmy: no but i'm going to pretend i do. >> she rewrote the ending of that movie. we performed it in episode three and when you hear her version of

how it ought to end, you will never watch that movie the same way again. >> jimmy: oh, wow. [ applause ] >> you are part of the disney empire jimmy. >> jimmy: i am. >> they're upstairs watching this right now, those guys, they're saying, they're probably trying to cut me off. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you'll be lucky to be alive by morning, that's for sure. >> i'm dissing the ip of the disney company on a disney show. >> jimmy: yeah. wow, i now have to watch that again, because you know with my kids i look in on it and say whatever is going on in there but you're saying this is the movie that upsets you more than anything else. >> nothing, nothing has made me so angry as when i watched that movie. i was like, it gets to the end, just to give you a flavor of this, what does -- it turns into a vigil ante movie like a clint

eastwood movie from the 70's. prince what does he do to the sea witch he murders her in the end, takes the law into his own hands, that's a lesson to tell your six-year-old daughter, solve a conflict, murder the handsome prince if you don't like him. i haven't scratched the surface. i go on for hours. >> i'm going to listen to all of the hours. i look forward to that. malcolm gladwell, his book," the bomber mafia" is available on audio and hardcover now. he will not be going to disneyland. thanks for joining us, malcolm, good to see you. we'll be right back with music from kings of leon.
