not one, not two, but three celebrated experts here for their picks of the read of the moment and elizabeth heiskell is here to show us how to make comfort food with less fat and more flavor. here we're going to make tacos and fit and fab pasta. we'll eat and read with kevin bacon. but first, how about a check of the weather. >> i was there before they invented radar >> that's actually true. >> warmer in the northeast near-60 in new york city 50 in cleveland. and temperatures anywhere from 5 to almost 20 degrees above average. wednesday, more of the same, from boston, all the way down to memphis and charleston by the late part of the week, by saturday, it's 34 in portland. 46 in cleveland. and down to 51 on friday, as you make your way. look at this severe storms co good morning. i am meteorologist kari hall. it is going to be a beautiful day. as you go out to the polls, expect temperatures to warm up, we have a lot of sunshine,

wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when it's hard. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message.

welcome back as an actor-director-musician, kevin bacon is a triple threat he danced his way into our hearts in the '80s hit, "footloose." now, he has 70 movies to his credit now, a highly anticipated podcast, the last degree of

kevin bacon on spotify a lot of people are podcasting these days >> yeah. >> this isn't like an interview show or a chat show. >> i can't do what you do. >> you could you could do it better >> the requirement of interviewing people is that you make the other person the center of the focus and my ego is way too big for that >> not for that. okay so, instead, it's a cereal >> it's scripted -- a half-hour scripted comedy. it's like an old radio play. it has a cinematic feel in terms of the sound and the music and the mix and the actors -- the voice actors, we have a chance to work with >> and i love the premise. you'll have to set it up you're playing yourself or a heightened version of yourself >> a heightened version of me. >> lay out the premise it's funny

>> there's a guy named randy, who is from schaumburg, illinois, a fictional character. and his life is not what he expected it to be. his marriage is on the rocks >> and it's all your fault >> it's all my fault he auditioned for "footloose." and he didn't get it and i did. that's the moment at which his life went down the tubes and so, he feels like if he can come to l.a. and destroy me, that he can have my life he could be married and have all of the success it's a lot of me poking fun at myself it's a lot of poking fun at celebrity. and about being actors and the culture of celebrity >> you have people playing themselves, including your wife. >> we we're wondering who to cast as kyra sedgwick. luckily, she was available rob reiner is in it. >> emily deschanel is in it. >> one deschanel, you know them

all. they will be mad at me i don't want to give too much away, but this is a mystery and a thriller, as well, isn't it? >> kind of a thriller, i guess >> well, there's murder. it's not like a "dateline nbc" episode. >> he comes to kill me >> i didn't know if i could say that >> it's not much of a spoiler. one of the things that's important to his story is that, when i was walking out of the audition, i ran into him and i commented on his white tank top, that he was wearing for the audition and i ended up, when i got the part, wearing the tank top in the movie. he comes to l.a. and one of the things he wants to do is strangle me with the white tank top. >> that's very poetic. >> yes

>> did he feel you stole the white tank top and that's how you got the part in "footloose"? >> that's the only thing that made a movie but kevin bacon needs an assistant and a best friend. >> that's another piece of it. i don't have any friends and even though i'm connected to all these people, for instance, i'm going to the lakers game, and i can't get anybody to go to the lakers game with me. and kyra is, like, you have to get a friend she is pushing me to have friendships. i have friends i have friends you really don't this guy, i think to myself -- not only could he be a best friend, i fire him as an assistant, thinking he can be a friend/assistant >> you're paying for a friend. >> yes and in the course of the show, he tries to give me friend lessons. how to actually be a friend. this guy that's come to l.a. to kill me is not only my assistant but also my friend >> so, it's a multiple part.

how was it being to do this? you're used to being on screen, with everyone sitting around in their sweats or did you dress up? >> we didn't dress up. i was playing myself i was allowed to wear my own clothes. >> your tank top >> exactly it's really interesting because i'm not part of the animation thing. i once animated a dog. to just use your voice as an actor, is really an interesting thing. it's interesting because i feel like, a lot of times, what really helps is doing things physically you know, for instance, if you're going to be out of breath, in a scene, you can just go -- it's better to get on the floor and do some push-ups and stand up and try to do the scene because it's going to feel more natural. if you're taking a swing at somebody or waving your hands, i do a lot of -- when i'm acting on the podcast, there's a lot of physical stuff that goes along with it. >> you think it would be easier.

but it's a heavier lift. >> you're only using one part of your instrument. you don't have your body or expressions. you don't have a lot of stuff. >> i'm in. okay it's called "the last degree of kevin bacon. i thought you didn't thing. >> i thought it was a jo expense. it doesn't seem to be going away >> ride the wave now, you have a show called "last degree of kevin bacon" on spotify. thanks for being here. conext, if curling up with a good book sounds ideal tonight. i can't believe it. that chad really was raised by wolves? which one is your mother? that's her right there. oh, gosh. no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. it's really great.

well, i'm just so glad to have met your beautiful family. and we better be sitting down now. believe it! geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. vo: iand there are doers.lkers mike bloomberg has spent his life getting things done. started a company from scratch, creating 20,000 good paying jobs. that's getting it done. as mayor, he rebuilt a shaken city after 9/11, created over 450,000 jobs. expanded healthcare to 700,000 and raised teacher pay. elected for three terms because he got things done. mike beat the nra, strengthening gun laws. he beat big coal, closing over 300 dirty coal fired plants. mike is still getting things

done. so ask yourself. for president, do you want a debater or a doer? someone with workable, common sense plans to fix healthcare and create jobs, who's done both. mike has the record and resources to beat trump. and it will take both. but mike will get it done. bloomberg: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. back with "read more today." if your read pile is looking thin, you want to pay attention. >> it won't be for long. our panel has must-read books to add to your book shelves

we have isaac fitzgerald sarah j. mass. this is an awesome group right here we're going to start with fiction. >> absolutely. "real life" is a beautifully written debut novel by brandon taylor it's about wallace, what he goes through over one weekend his debut novel. he is dealing with grief he is a gay man in the south he is dealing with homophobia he's dealing with racism but the thing that makes this book so strong is the writing. real life can be boring. "real life" the novel, can fantastic. >> nobody sells a book better. i was lost >> it's really good. >> i have to follow that >> you can do that >> it's a mystery. >> also, it's a mystery. we need a good mystery you have it.

>> "madness of sunshine" by nalini singh i adore her. this is on the west coast of new england. all of the secrets of this town start to come to the surface when she goes missing. >> lisa is on the edge of the landscape of reading maybe that's too much pressure >> i'm here to make you anxious. i picked "weather" by jenny ofill. it's about the anxiety of our time we're considering what it means to have climate change what it means to be overpopulated. but she weaves it beautifully into vignettes of everyday life. and it's gorgeous. there's jokes. it's this funny, very small, really smart and incisive look at what it is to just be a human being right now. >> like any book, you can call a

snack. >> a snack >> it took me an hour. it was great >> i like that isaac, nonfiction, which is what this is for you. "you never forget your first." it's about alexis coe. and it's all about george st ant but it doesn't take away from the seriousness, the complexities, george washington's blind spots it's a modern look at history. you have somebody that loves, loves presidential biographies, that's great i haven't gotten through many of them this one was fantastic >> sold. >> yours sounds more fun that one sounds fun.

>> my pick was "the season," by kristen richardson this is the history of the debutante rituals. from its origins in england to present day. and the writing is gorgeous and very sympathetic toward the women who get caught up in this ritual it's the brokering of power, with women as the currency >> maybe not as fun. >> this is a part of history that i knew little about i was intrigued of by "gossip girl" and "downton abbey." i couldn't put this book down. i loved it i thought it was brilliant >> lisa, you have more snacks for us a collection of es kay "minor feelings" by cathy park i laughed and cried. it's about race in america it's about what it is to be other in america about laughter and humor and how we have used it to understand who we are in the united states. also just like -- i'm not asian-american, right? seeing somebody else reflect back, the minor feelings, may

have had, that were major. >> this is a big day for the two of y'all >> happy pub day >> i'm going to get into it real quick. it's called "how to be a pirate." it's a children's book i'm so proud of this the illustrations are bridget barriger it's not about tattoos or pirates. it kind of is. it's about the muted colors and how spending time with somebody you love brightens your outlook on the world >> that's how i feel about you >> you, too, sweetie okay >> you pulled out your book. i'm going to pull out mine "crescent city." the first book in my adult series paranormal romance >> people are going crazy. >> a murder-mystery. it has some sexy time. and it has all of the paranormal things >> we need this. >> that would be my pleasure >> "crescent city," and "how to be a pirate. lisa, thank you so much. you can find these books and two
