Will Cain Country - Is the Right Becoming Too Cynical? (ft. The Ruthless Variety Progrum)

Episode Date: August 4, 2026

The Wisconsin Governor’s race has a new star and she has yet to meet an American holiday she doesn’t hate. In today’s episode, Will is joined by the boys from the Ruthless Variety Progrum, Josh ...Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook, to break down every single one of Democratic Socialist Gubernatorial Candidate Francesca Hong’s controversies, as well as fact check Tinfoil Pat’s conspiracy that the San Francisco 49ers suck due to some sort of electromagnetic contamination from the substation near their practice field. Plus, Will and The Crew take a closer look at Jon Bernthal’s viral claim that being wary of pitbulls is just a form of “dog racism,” and Aaron Rodgers finally being vindicated after years of being vilified for his claims about COVID.

Starting point is 00:00:02 From the producers of Super Troopers and Super Troopers 2 comes, you guessed it. Broken Lizard and their rowdy patrol squad returned to the scene of the crime. In Super Troopers 3, the mustaches are thicker, the maple syrup, stickier, and the pranks crazier than ever. Buckle up for the funniest comedy of the summer. Super Troopers 3, only in theaters Friday. Get tickets now. Until Thanksgiving, Fourth of July and Christmas. The latest pitch from a DSA candidate for governor of Wisconsin. Pointing out pit bull attacks is simply dog racism according to John Baranthaw.
Starting point is 00:01:04 And Aaron Rogers attacks ESPN on ESPN. with the Ruthless Variety Program. It's Wilcane Country streaming live at the Will Cain Country YouTube channel, Facebook page, and always here by simply following us at Spotify or on Apple. I wake up today, early August, and for the first time, in several months, I feel football. I feel football. I wasn't feeling football yesterday.
Starting point is 00:01:46 I wasn't feeling it, and something happened. It's not fall, but the season has turned. All of a sudden, the articles on ESPN and the Athletic that I would have skipped yesterday, I've started to click on. I started to read about the top offensive tackles in the country. I've started to break down the Texas too deep. I'm starting to feel it, boys. I'm starting to feel football. Two of a day and Tenfold Pats.
Starting point is 00:02:06 And here with us, John Ashbrook, Michael Duncan, comfortably smug, Josh Holmes, the ruthless variety program. What's up, bud? Why are you making a funny face, Patrick? What's up, boys? You haven't felt sports in the last 15 years. Wait, here we go. I can't even get in the show one minute without sourpuss. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:02:26 You know what? I wasn't even going to go. Hold on. Put him in a corner. Put baby in a corner. He's sitting next to an electrical power plant somewhere outside of Santa Clara, California. He's muted now. Which he wants to get to today because his latest black pill conspiracy is that the San Francisco 49ers have suffered injury after injury because of the electromagnetic nemesic waves in northern California.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Go to your corner for a minute. Your time will come. Is that for real? Is that a real thing? Oh, yeah. Apparently it is, yeah. Oh, yeah. People will come with the...
Starting point is 00:02:56 Come on, get with the black kids. That's ridiculous. He's going green peace on us because his football team sucks. Let's just start there. Isn't that what I was going to... You know, Holmes, you make a good point. First, let's just deal. Are you feeling football?
Starting point is 00:03:13 Is anybody feeling football? I'm I the only one? Like, I felt it this morning. Football. It's common, baby. Dude, I got to tell you, Will, I never get out of it. And I think it's a sickness a little bit. You know, I mean, I'm not like, as a Vikings fan, that's tough.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I'm not totally proud of it, but I never get out of it. I mean, I'm the guy that is in the middle of February who's looking at like the free agents that are available. And, you know, where there have been negotiations or pre-negotiations. And that kicks into the draft. And then you got mini-camp. And then you've got, you know, maybe some late free agent transactions right into camp. I mean, I never lose it. I do, Holmes.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I'm like you. The draft is equal football season to me as week nine of the NFL season. I love the draft. I probably love it more than the Super Bowl. But there's a lull, and it's like May, June, July. Football stops for me. And then all of a sudden, and like I lose a little interest. I need a break, but then there's something that changes,
Starting point is 00:04:15 and all of a sudden I can't get enough. And it happened this morning. I literally was reading which freshman will be. probably break into the two deep at the University of Texas this morning. And I was into it. Yeah. But you do need a break. You do need a break,
Starting point is 00:04:27 well, because if you follow closely all of the coverage of your favorite team all summer, there's a lot of hope that they build. It gets dangerous. And I mean, they're just trying to feed you as the audience. Oh, well, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:42 they look so good in the huddle. You should see this quarterback move that, you know, and it's like, it's all bull, you know? There's never been a draft pick that they're not. like, oh man, you should see him running wind sprints.
Starting point is 00:04:53 This guy's really moved. He's already memorized the playbook as my favorite one. You know, and so like you've got to like put that away for a few months. Otherwise, you're going to get an expectation so out of whack. Yeah, Jim rat. Jim rat. I like, I like Duncan sort of becoming a cynic here and then selling me false hope because that's going to serve as a perfect segue here to black pilling. This isn't what I really had.
Starting point is 00:05:17 This was my least favorite topic today. I didn't want to do this. No, let's lead with it then. That's great. Terrific television. What I realized, you know what, Holmes, you guys have a very successful program over there. I've gone the other way. I'm like, I'm just going to, you know, basically on that F it stage.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, self-sabotage. Who gives a damn? So, okay, Patrick, he can come out of his corner now in a minute. Not yet. in a minute. He's got his background up. That's a substation, electrical substation. So the story is that outside of the San Francisco 49ers practice facility, right outside, you can see it in the background of like pictures while they're at training camp. There's this huge electrical substation. And, you know, modern concerns about whatever's running through your body from your cell phone obviously are amplified if you're sitting next to a gigantic. you know, I don't know. That looks scary, doesn't it? It looks scary. And so people started to look into this. And Scott Barrett, who covers the NFL, says if the San Francisco 49ers had just average injury luck, Kyle Shanahan would have the most Super Bowl wins more than Patrick Mahomes.
Starting point is 00:06:34 It's legitimately insane when you add up all the injuries and see how snake bit and they are. And then he goes season by season through this. And it points out, like every year, I think, in the last five years, they're a statistical anomaly. It's abnormal how much they're getting hurt. And people are pointing out it's this substation. It's the electromagnetic waves. Now, hold on. Here's what I like about what you said. Holmes said something about Greenpeace. Duncan started to become a cynic. And this is all tied together with the black pilling on the right that I want to talk about. So I want to talk about the Niners and everything sucks mentality on the right. And it's all manifested in the baby in the corner I'm going to bring out now.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Patrick, who can defend himself as you guys kind of wonder about this black-pilled sports 49ers world. Okay. Who is the source on that tweet, first of all? Is it just like random individual? This is Scott Barrett. So he's a fantasy football expert. He's a big stats guy. So, he's like one of the tops.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I'm telling you, best in the game. Keep going. Okay. What exactly my defending, Will. I want to hear the full pitch. Do you think this electronic, this substation is, I'm not, you maybe right, man. Holding the 49ers back. I'm just saying, I mean, it's one thing to have like weird injury luck one season or maybe two.
Starting point is 00:08:11 seasons to have it for like six straight seasons with a substation right in your backyard not to mention Chris McCaffrey right after he tweeted this they also lost two more guys to injury within days so I mean I don't know I think there might be a little smoke here is all I'm saying we might want to look at this is the weirdest bit ever like I'm being just like taking a step back like what we're saying right here is you think there's like a statistically significant increase of injuries because of proximity to electricity Yeah, that's what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Yes, but, dude, that's the story. This is a dangerous place. You're trying to, like, Howard Hughes. Like, you're going to end up in a hotel room with, like, your urine and bottles being, like, don't touch the doorknows, they have electricity. Like, your nails long. This is the first step there.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Like, I feel bad for whoever this, like, fantasy football expert is. That, like, this is where they're headed. Smug. Don't you think it makes perfect sense, though? I'm sorry? Would you build your house next to a substation? Smug.
Starting point is 00:09:10 No. I have a house in North Carolina, and that's not because I'm afraid of injuries due to proximity of electricity. That's because I'm just always from North Carolina. I think everyone in that city, are you saying that, like, are emergency rooms filling up in San Francisco because of their proximity? No. People are growing fingers. This is just like people looking for excuses for why the Niners suck. Like they spend so much money.
Starting point is 00:09:33 They've got Christian McCaffrey, who's just a cheat coat, right? And they still can't win. It's because it's a bad team. Well, it wouldn't kill them to sign them. wide receiver every once in a while. But if you think about it, like, it does actually make perfect sense that people in San Francisco have conjured up some sort of left-wing conspiracy in order to make an excuse for the backwards nature of either society or their football team.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yeah. Right? Okay. I don't want my house next to a substation. I'm going to be honest. But that's not because I think I'm going to get an ACL tear. It's because I think that over the long period of time, I think it's probably not good. I do buy it's not good to be as close as Patrick is to a substation as he is right now in the program.
Starting point is 00:10:17 But I don't feel great. I'm not concerned for my rotator cuff. It's not that. It's other part of things that I'm concerned about. Yeah, if they were coming down with cancer, I'd probably get it. But it feels like a meniscus tear. It's hard to blame on electricity. They can just move next to an AI data center now in San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Out there providing jobs. But my favorite thing about these things, Patrick's first choice of adjective. And you did the same thing, Smug, but I, this is, I think this is like the modern-day argumentation technique. It's weird. If it's weird, he's won. Debate over. Like, he beat you no matter what you said after that, it's weird. And everybody's like, yeah, it is weird.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah, the same thing with flat earthers. They could say the same thing. Oh, that's weird. Yeah. That's weird. It's weird. Yeah. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:11:10 It's a lot of weird stuff in San Francisco. But boys, there is something deeper here than San Francisco. And so, Holmes, you're like, well, you blamed it on lefty, you know, San Francisco weirdos. And honestly, I don't think that is the crowd that's doing this, this pushing this story. And you said something about Greenpeace. And so what I think is weird and what's going on here, and I'm going to tie something bigger. is like on the right, we do have a growing sense of cynical black-pilled mindset. And it's applied to everything.
Starting point is 00:11:48 And I do think in some ways it's embodied by tinfoil pat. And I'm getting exhausted by it. Like I wake up today in the online debate for me in my algorithm. It is about, it's honestly anger towards Trump. That's the growing movement in, as people have come to terminate calling it podcast a stand. right and it's like why why are grocery so expensive what are you doing about groceries and and and this type of thing and i i feel like that's not to say it's not a real issue right but what we're getting what i'm getting exhaustion i'm getting exhaustion towards cynicism negativity
Starting point is 00:12:27 pessimism and blackpilling yeah i mean look i think we find ourselves in that we try i mean we try every day to try to get out of that with ruthless and have some fun and talk about cultural stories and like animal fighting and things like that but you can get pretty cynical when everybody's talking about like reflecting pools and like not the things that are happening in your life and i do think the the the people who are most plugged into politics do at some point need something to root for regardless of where you're at i mean you look at the left and people are they're literally turning today in Michigan they're going to officially crown the democratic party the hamas caucus and try to create this like weird communist sort of base within their party that is going to
Starting point is 00:13:17 you know have all kinds of crazy ideas for the rest of the country and so like yeah that can drag you down a little bit well and then also like dumerism is good for the algorithm will like whether you're left or right and it requires no you know you advanced degree in how politics actually works to point to something and be like, that is the reason everything's wrong. I don't know anything, but look at this picture. You know what I mean? And so, like, it's very easy, just like the substation, to blame all of your problems on one thing without actually knowing what you're talking about, like tinfoil patent. I just want to say, I'm polling for the substation. The substation is the good thing.
Starting point is 00:14:03 So I don't feel a sense of like exhaustion from it. It actually like it invigorates me. Well, you live in this world. And that's the thing is because when you have people like, I mean, we can say by name who some of these folks are like, you know, all these Marjorie Taylor Greens are like, you know, I'm like disillusioned. And like I used to like, great. Great. Say that like you're throwing in the towel. The border is closed, folks.
Starting point is 00:14:29 DEI is gone. It's been rolled back. Brent Crude just dropped below 80. Yeah. Things are going great. We're in the right direction. We're not with President Kamala Harris. And there's an opportunity, like on our show, a small example,
Starting point is 00:14:45 the Tala Rico and Jasmine Crockett primary. We called exactly what happened three months ago, and we said when Taur Rico wins, he's going to get called out by the black community. They're going to be like, you're not investing in us, and they're going to shake him down for that walk-round money. and like two weeks afterwards, exactly that happens. So we're cultivating an audience of people
Starting point is 00:15:05 because no one wants to hear that shit, no one wants to hear the Duma shit, their numbers are going down. It's an opportunity to scoop those people up and offer them something that's hopeful, factual, and makes us look like a genius every three months because we call it. Let's take a quick break,
Starting point is 00:15:20 but I promise us just keep getting better with the ruthless variety program here on Will King Country. Welcome back to Will Kane Country. We're still hanging out with Josh Holmes. Duncan, comfortably Smug and John Ashbrook here on Wilkane Country. But, okay, Smug, you're on the point I actually want to talk about. So I almost want to, we'll come back. Like, Holmes, I want to talk about the DSA thing and what's happening in Wisconsin and Michigan in a minute.
Starting point is 00:15:43 But I am talking about the right. I'm talking about there is a defeatism happening among what we would have in the past thought were very, very ideologically sympathetic or ideologically. compatriot individuals, and it's peddling everything is bad. It is dumerism. And I do think, Duncan, it is algorithm. I do think it's audience, it's an attempted audience capture in some way. But you sound like, not you smug, but the proverbial you, you run the risk of sounding like a partisan or a team-based hack if you point out what I think is actually factual as well.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Things are going pretty well. The debate this morning is about grocery prices, right? And I'm seeing Matt Walsh fight David Harsanii about this, and is it an establishment versus, I don't know, America First, whatever it is. But I look at that and I set aside the personalities and the name calling this, that, and I look at the arguments. I'm like, yeah, are grocery prices too high? Yes, because they went up over COVID, and you don't get that back. Once inflation comes in, you can bring inflation down, but you don't get to roll prices back except for deflation, right? And deflation's not good. Pat, you want deflation, right? You like recessions. Yes. It's not a recession.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Eflation, it's about the value of the money and the purchasing power. So, yes, I'm in flavor of inflation. Big great depression. But my point is, Smug is right. Smug, it is going well. Like, President Trump has done a lot of what he said, and I'm worried about the breeding of defeatism on the right. Now, does that mean that a James Tala Rico is going to ultimately win or when Abdul Salad wins because you've disillusioned a great many people out there? I actually don't know the answer to that yet. So, I mean, I think there really is a fear of that, though, Will. Like, I think a lot of this is driven on the right by people who are thinking what comes next after Donald Trump. I really think all of this is just a proxy war for what comes next. And so So people say, yeah, yeah, I really, I really do.
Starting point is 00:17:57 And so people are having these fights, but the real fight's about a different thing. It's about J.D. Vance. It's about Marker Rubio. It's not really even about Donald Trump or the war in Iran or grocery prices, right? Because, like, I think most normal people would look at an issue like Iran and be like, well, the libertarians were wrong. This wasn't World War III. And the people who, I guess everyone's a neocon now.
Starting point is 00:18:21 But the neocons who thought that like Shah Paul Levy was going to come from Great Falls, Virginia and become the new leader of Iran, they were wrong. And what did Donald Trump do? He took out their nuclear program, decapitated the leadership, and degraded their military capacity. I think all of those are fantastic things. We don't even talk about that anymore. Like all we talk about is like either this was a huge failure or he needs to put 100,000 ground troops into Tehran or it's a failure. And it's because there's worldviews that are diametrically opposed that are part of this coalition that are having this international fight right now that really isn't even about Donald Trump. It's about what happens in 2028.
Starting point is 00:19:02 By the way, so then what happens after the midterms? Is it a full-on civil war? I think so, absolutely. Yeah, I think it's going to be amplified. And the doomerism, I think a lot of that is just a cover for what the real fight is. And I want to clarify something on that. I think Duncan made tremendously good points. I think all of that I agree with a lot.
Starting point is 00:19:21 When you say after the midterms, this is going to be a civil war? I don't think it's going to be a civil war. I think what the Democrat Party is experiencing right now is a civil war. Are they going to be half-ass communists or all-in communists, right? What we're going to have is what Republicans actually have, which is a primary and a fight. And by keeping Democrats from having that in 2016, they handed it to Hillary, Obama said to Biden, don't run. And Bernie got thrown out. 20-20, they did the same thing.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Bernie was cut off. They handed it to Biden, South Carolina. 2024, they're like, we're not going to have a primary. Are you kidding me? We're just going to hand it to Kamala. They got smoked. So these are three presidential election cycles where their voters were not allowed to have a say, and it's been building up and building up and now the barbarians aren't at the gate. They're inside the house. They're running amok. And it's not just a New York City thing. It's happening in Colorado. It's happening in Michigan. They're having to deal with it that way, and it's become a mess.
Starting point is 00:20:16 What Republicans do is we have primaries. We have fights and the best man wins, best woman, whoever's in the primary that wins, wins it. Donald Trump in 2016 had to beat like 20 people on a stage to claim that spot. Yeah, I mean, man, I'm not sure you guys should be, I'm not sure you guys should just be doing pet videos. Y'all are kind of smart. It's pretty good. That's really good commentary. You should have them on the TV show.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I mean, that's not my fault. It's the president's fault. Every time they get bumped, it's blame it on president. Asperic is the politician. Now he's doing the Dumerism. He's looking at that. Now he's blaming President Trump.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Thanks, man. That's right. That's what I'm doing. All right. And Ashbrook hasn't even spoken yet. We're 20 minutes in the show. I'm just fascinating. I'm learning.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I'm saying I'm just taking all of them. Okay. Here's what Holmes wanted to talk about, which I think is, I think this is what you want to talk about. This is Francesca Hong. We have this, boys, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:25 She's running for governor in Wisconsin, right? She's decided, I'm not popular enough. What I need to do is freaking go after these stupid holidays in America, like Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. Here's what she said about Thanksgiving. There's a tweet. We have the tweet. She posted. It says SOT.
Starting point is 00:21:48 We should have a. I always think my hospitality background in owning a restaurant for seven, eight years, that bringing folks around the table to share conversation and build community is always a good thing. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people. I think there I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple views, but views can evolve. And the position that I'm running for right now, and I think my background as a share, chef will actually help me become a better government at the table my background is a chef
Starting point is 00:22:26 won't somebody think of the turkey crying out loud it's not a good day for the turkey the potatoes they were growing they were living at one point now they're mashed someone think about the green beans now they're mashed dude it's lunacy it's it's complete lunacy and that look it's always been easy to go find the reaches of the left and find a comment like that and be like, holy cats, like, where did that person grow up? Who do they surround themselves with? They've existed forever. The difference in this particular moment in time, they are the nominees of one of two major parties in this country. Democratic voters are picking people who want to cancel Thanksgiving. It's like, not just not just out of body. Don't stop there. Here she is. I do not enjoy fireworks. Fourth
Starting point is 00:23:19 July's got to go too. Okay? Now I believe. Hold on. He's not done, guys. We got it here. She's not done. That's right.
Starting point is 00:23:28 How about Valentine's Day? I got to give her this one on Valentine's Day. It's a commercial holiday. I might be with her on this one. Hold on. I think I think I might be too on Valentine's Day. She might be right about that. Ed said he's out on Valentine's.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And then what was it where she said about Christmas? Was this? Oh, yeah, here it is. IT, bro, who was working our computer remotely, changed the background theme to snow and Christmas trees. I feel slightly attacked. As a reminder, this is a serious person. This is a nominee for governor. Real quick, quick question.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Who's more qualified her as a former chef or Ashley Webb, the writer? Oh. Well, she is a literature artist of our time, Webb. I mean, she's a musician. Yeah, yeah, who's that thing? Don't you dare pigeonhole her into one thing. She's an accomplished multimedia artist. You certainly knew how to get people's attention.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I forgot about Ashley. Yes. In May. The thing that bothers me about the hongs of the world with the Thanksgiving tweet and everything is they really, they really, they really. act like they speak for other people. I think that this thing I find so presumptuous about it all. Like who is it that you think is being attacked on Thanksgiving?
Starting point is 00:25:00 You think you're speaking for the Native American community? I liken it to like the changing of the name from Redskins in Washington, where the liberals in town that are always like they were running around trying to get you to sign the petition, we're acting like they were speaking for the Native American people and pull after. poll after poll would show 95% of Native Americans were fine with the name Redskins. Right? Right? Yes. Love your favorite team. Favorite team. That's what always drives me crazy about this stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:30 She might just not like gravy. I don't know. Who knows? I thought a really interesting take on this. Smug is close right now. I'm going to split the crew. Instead of Will versus Ruthless, I'm going to start awarding points. Oh, yeah, that's good. You're going to do it around the horn?
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yeah, like in the ESPN show. Okay, I get it. Yeah. Who would a guess? Yeah. But here's the thing. So I saw a really interesting take on this actually, where this was being pointed out this, a bunch of her idiot tweets from the past.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And a lot of the leftists had the take of why can't she just be like Zoranam Dani and say, oh yeah, that was a bad take. Let's move on. They are 100% on board with being like just cloak the craziness, get into power, and and then be crazy. Like, that's really fascinating to me, is that they've now realized that the vast majority of Americans do not want the nonsense that they are pushing.
Starting point is 00:26:29 They're like, just get into office and then push it. If you have to lie, if you have to say, like, I disavow all these statements from the past, just get elected and then act on it, which is worried. Careful, Duncan. Smug's getting close. Ding, ding, ding. A lot of points awarded there.
Starting point is 00:26:45 I totally agree, Smug. And by the way, Abdul Sayed is smarter. He's actually doing that. He just pivots and he lies. Not, not. Didn't say it. Don't think it. Not a DSA guy.
Starting point is 00:26:56 And we all know the truth. By the way, Tala Rico's better too. Because he's doing the same thing. He knows he has to because he's in Texas. And that's sort of been what I've been thinking, smug, and trying to kind of parse out when I've had DSA people on the show, or not even DSA. Regular Democrats who we know deep down, I don't know if they share this. This is Hong, who blatantly said cancel Thanksgiving, should have been.
Starting point is 00:27:17 done this in 1621. No gray area on this one. Okay. It is, is, um, I think, I think that James Telerico thinks the same thing. He's just hiding it. That's, that's, that's exact. I don't know that there's a huge difference between Francis Hong and Chris Murphy. No.
Starting point is 00:27:38 No, there's not. I mean, we've maintained on the show that there's not a dime's worth of difference. If you look at what we call the Abigail Spanberger routine, it's you find some, you know, suburban house mom with a professional background that would make you think that they're not a lunatic. They say they talk to Republicans. They run a bunch of ads about working across party lines. It helps if they worked in law enforcement or, you know, maybe we're an AG or something like that. And then they were all a golden retriever out, pet it, you know, pretend like they have a yard and a normal thing like normal people do.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And then the second you all fall for it and vote for them, then all of a sudden you get 53 tax hikes and an agenda that is indistinguishable from Zoron, Mom Dani. That is what's happening. There's just some that are better off hiding it than others. I don't feel like Hong has been terrific at that. She feels like it's a little out there now. Yeah. But it sounds like she might lose this general election. Tony Evers, the sitting Democrat lunatic, who's the governor of Wisconsin, was on a radio show yesterday the day before.
Starting point is 00:28:35 And he said he doesn't think Hong is going to win this general in November. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, she might come up short. I mean, you'd like to think. general. Yeah. Can I just add something? I mean, like we're, this woman is unwell. Okay. Like, I have seen a lot of other videos of her. You know, she started this ramen restaurant with her ex-husband,
Starting point is 00:28:59 like seven years ago or something. It closed down now. But I saw this, marriage didn't last. This video, yeah, this video of her, this video of her talking about how she has a biracial son and talking about her proximity to whiteness? We have that one. Play it. Yeah. That's good producing. Quick on the draw, though.
Starting point is 00:29:25 You can do it. Dan's like, do I follow Duncan's orders? For me, assimilation always kind of took over. And so I did marry my proximity to whiteness continues, right? My son is biracial. He's half. white and half Korean and I think navigating, you know, what his identity is and how people perceive him is always at the back of my mind as well. Okay, so real quick. So she's Korean? Yeah. I had her ramen restaurant. I don't know. Is it that like cultural appropriation?
Starting point is 00:30:04 I'm going to go on Twitter and give her a problem about that. That's insane. What I love about that video is the dramatic pause of of like I was married, my son is biracial. She doesn't say I married a white guy. Yeah. Because like that's, that, that would make her not also a victim of white identity. She would be complicit in the whiteness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Like her son's biracialness is just an accident. Yeah. You know? And it makes you think, I'm just trying to diagnose this woman who has a lot of problems, Will. And it seems like maybe all of this is just a way of getting. back at her ex-husband. Just be as weird and as left as possible. She is Korean America.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Okay. Yeah, I like Smug. Get on Twitter right away. Cultural appropriation. That's crazy. Well, he's just tried to battle through his own proximity to whiteness here in the Rithless Variety Program. He battles it every day. He's got a lot of... He's got a lot of proximity to a lot of
Starting point is 00:31:05 whiteness. Those three dudes next to Smug are very, very white. I mean, like, this is the thing is, I think they internalized in 2024 that election night when they got smoked, that was a turning point because this entire
Starting point is 00:31:21 country, what we're seeing with Sophie Cunningham, this country, the vast majority are not on board with this nuttiness. And there are these strange group of people who want to enforce that upon everyone else.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Their own misery, and Duncan is right. It's 99% of the time, this is like a result of a batter relationship with like a husband or a father and this is that going to be acting out forever they're going to act out on it and this is what they have to do now is just hide it she's she's being coached and everyone is telling her like do the zormum donnie thing just say oh yeah those are some bad tweets get in there and then just do what we always wanted you know do the open border stuff do all the Medicare fraud, which is all just patronage systems for the left.
Starting point is 00:32:15 That's what they do that stuff for. That's why I have a little affinity for Hassan Piker, because I do like that he is honest about everything. Like, he's wearing the Mao costume and calling for secret police. And I'm like, thank you. Thank you. We all know that's where the rest of you want to go. He's the one just saying it.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Yeah. Yeah, but like Nick Fuentes, his advice to his audiences, he calls it hide your power level. And like that's what the DSA is learning. When Nick Fuentes says hide your power level, he's like, don't say all the crazy, like, you know, pro-Nazi, anti-Jewish stuff publicly. Like work your way into a system and then work to accomplish the things that you and I share. And the horseshoe theory of politics, the DSA candidates, I think, are doing the same thing in a lot of these races. Yeah. I got to let these guys go.
Starting point is 00:33:09 It's not my choice. It's their choice. They have to go. They've got to do it. What do you guys? You guys have a hit on Megan Kelly? Where do you guys? Here we go. Here we go. All right. Let's buckle the chintz trap, bro. How much time you got. Sadly, you're going to miss my Aaron Rogers conversation, which is going to be awesome. And pit bulls.

Starting point is 00:33:45 Okay. I got your sarcasm, tinfoil, Pat. I got it, okay? I got it. I never get to what I say I'm going to get to. Because we don't give a damn. But we do give a damn about the boys at the Ruthless Variety Program. And we appreciate the time they give us hanging out together.

Welcome back to Will Kane Country. So Aaron Rogers, football season is back. I'm feeling football. Hey, all jokes aside, did you guys feel like if you felt a calendar or a season change, what is today? August what? Fourth.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Today was the day for me. Oh, yeah. Did you start feeling it a while back? Or have you not yet felt it? This past weekend. It's not here yet. No, still baseball season. We just had the trade deadline.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Patrick, I just can't. You guys pitched me a baseball story yesterday, and I'm not going to lie. I did read about some baseball trades, mostly through the lens of what the Texas Rangers did not do. But I did, you know, I'll go to my sports websites and I'll be like, this guy got traded, that guy got traded. You hate baseball now? I just can't even bring myself to click on. He does. I'm not getting to where I hate baseball.
Starting point is 00:36:32 I think you hate baseball. DeGrom literally stayed with. the Rangers because he thought you guys had a chance. Every time we brought up. I know. I love that. And it made me love to Grom. It made me love him. It really did. But don't get me wrong. I love the Texas
Starting point is 00:36:47 Rangers. And I read about that. The perpetually stuck in 500 team made the playoff once in the last 10 years did win the World Series in that one time to the playoffs. But I mean I went to a game two weeks ago. Do I watch them regularly on TV? No.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I checked the box. score every day. I know they're on, are they on a seven game losing streak? It's something like that. But I just can't care. I mean, I know Tariq Scouble, Terrick Scobble went to the Dodgers and it's absurd and it's crazy and they get everybody and all that stuff. Star salary cap. I just can't, Patrick. That's not it. That's not it. That's not what the, I mean, it's not just, the Yankees have been doing this stuff for years. It's the way that Dodgers do it. It's like they're going and getting the best players. They're deferring all this money into the future. party board. It's like they're trying, they're trying to scan the system. But some people think that,
Starting point is 00:37:40 that actually this is what Major League Baseball wants. They want the Dodgers to be the villain, and then they can implement a salary cap eventually. Oh, conspiracy. They need that. Another conspiracy. Oh, so this is the catalyst for the salary. I'm letting you know, the salary. You know is what people are saying. They, they think maybe there's more to this. The people are saying. How many people are saying? How many people are saying? Well, I've seen two with two or three. Yeah. Who are they?
Starting point is 00:38:14 You're the voice of the two or three. And I like that. I'm the man of the two or three people. Someone needs to speak up for them. Man of the people. Man of the two or three people. I like it. More like man of the persons.
Starting point is 00:38:31 All right. So, but I'm feeling football and I think I'm not alone. I'm seeing, it's like, okay, Aaron Rogers is back. He's back with Pat McAfee. He didn't take a break, right? He does this weekly hit with Pat McAfee on ESPN, and this is the first one I've seen. Now, he does it a week after Anthony Fauci takes the fifth 111 times.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Ooh, I wonder if he wanted to get on TV, huh? Please. Oh, here comes the lefty conspiracy theorist. Dan's in the room now. Get out of here. And he was my favorite, too, as a Packer fan, but come on. You don't love this? Watch this.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Here's Aaron Rogers. Tell me you don't love this. Here's Aaron Rogers with Pat McAfee. Maybe the years of the past. Now I'm going to plead the fifth. Okay. Okay. Like that absolute coward, Tony Fasch.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? Yeah, 111 times. You got a pardon and you're in front and you pleaded over 100 times at the White House? What are you scared of, Tony? I thought you were the science. Yeah. I thought you were, I am science.
Starting point is 00:39:33 And you get up there and he can't answer a question? Yeah. What do we doing? And how much time does the network start? spending that. How much time did they spend on my responses every week, on my vaccination status? Please. God. I love it, dude.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Dan, he's on a vindication tour. He's not. He was spending time with his wife, Dan. He deserves it. He deserves to be able to do this, Dan. He was vilified. Now I'm with Pat. All of a sudden, the tables have turned.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Switch to the table. Now I'm on this side. And I know this is where it all started. And this is, you want to get me pissed off, Dan? This is how you created, Pat. You created the monster by doing this with COVID. COVID is the original sin. I didn't do anything.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Actually, I think, I actually think, no, COVID is not the original sin. I think the original sin is Michael Brown. Hands up, don't shoot. JFK. It's impossible to outpace the man of the two or three people. No, when we collectively began to lose our minds, okay? It started, I think, maybe this is too much through the lens of my life. I think it started with Michael Brown, hands up, don't shoot.
Starting point is 00:41:00 That's when I think it started, okay? And I know you had George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin before, but that was like the little earth-shaking, okay? What I'm talking about is when people stopped caring about the facts. You had to buy into the narrative. And if you didn't buy into the narrative, there were extreme social consequences. The social consequences for seven years leading up to 2020 was that you were a racist, constantly. Okay. And then it went to Michael Brown, which Michael Brown was the George Zimmerman one times 10 in terms of by the narrative, by the narrative.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Remember the people on CNN that all did this? Remember the panel that held their hands up? Do you guys remember that, dude? And then Nancy Pelosi with George Floyd, too. Same thing. Okay, but George Floyd's later, right? So then you have, but then it, so the ball starts rolling. And from Michael Brown, I'm not going to be able to remember them all,
Starting point is 00:41:53 but I'm going to do a pretty good job because I was there for all of them, and so many had something to do with the world of sports. You had Jacob Blake, you had Mackey of Bryant, you had Brianna Taylor, you had then George Floyd. I probably missed one or two in there. Yeah. And what happens is there for about half a decade, we are taught as a society and we internalize it. It's a fear-based media and mindset ecosystem.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Everyone was scared, though, of COVID. What about the NASCAR driver? No, no. Bubble Wallace. Bubble Wallace. But the five to seven, the set, oh, Jesse Smollet, Juicy Smollet. And that was, that's when that bubble burst. So that bubble is, don't you dare look at the facts.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Don't you dare ask questions. That makes you a racist. So really high social consequences, only for saying, I'm not sure if the facts add up to, this is a, what was the narrative at the time, that cops are killing unarmed black men. That's what it is. That there's a genocide of unarmed black men being killed by cops. But you can't do that to people for that long before they start going. This is not right. This doesn't feel right.
Starting point is 00:43:09 This is insane. And then 2020 happens. And then it all explodes. COVID. Anthony Fauci. I am the science. Created conspiracy theorists. CNN running long clips of the CNN telling you to be afraid.
Starting point is 00:43:24 We know how much we were lied to. We were lied. And then of course, George Floyd combines the two. Now we got COVID and race all at once. And what you've happened, what happened then is you created a world. full of monsters who don't believe anything. Nothing. Nothing. And I don't mean to say this,
Starting point is 00:43:43 your monsters. I think you've been, I think I understand what happened to your brain. Remember, I'm on this side of the table with Pat now, right? But at some point, that table starts telling me that the substation is causing ACL tears. And I'm going, whoa, a minute ago, I was sitting here going, I'm not sure COVID's killing 20% of us and we all have to get the shot. And now I'm standing over here going, so, now I'm with Fauci because I am wondering about the ACL tears in San Francisco
Starting point is 00:44:13 too microchipped and that the vaccine was killing people. Come on. Your body is 70 to 80% water. Went both ways. So of course the electromagnetism of... Dude, the vaccine did have a risk profile. The vaccine does have a risk profile. So did the fact that vaccines help people.
Starting point is 00:44:29 But you could go to both extremes. Yeah, fine. Cost benefit though. No, of course. But what I'm saying is everyone went to these crazy extremes on both sides. And then everyone was just like, no, you're crazy. No, not equally. No, not equally. Do you think the, I don't even know the microchip thing, but let's presume the man of the two or three people probably can a voice, give voice to the argument that what?
Starting point is 00:44:51 There's microchips in the vaccine? I don't know. But let's, if I submit to you, Dan, so is everything. That's what I'm saying. But Dan, if I submit to you that that exists, that is not on equal level to what happened with Fauci and all of that lying. No, of course. That's not. And I'm not saying here like I believed every word of Fauci.
Starting point is 00:45:09 People did and it was like religion to them at the time. People were scared. People were confused and didn't know what to do. So people did their, you know, sheepish thing and followed what they should do for way too long. They didn't just do that. But they didn't question it. Paris Morgan said that unvaccinated people should die in hospitals waiting to see a doctor. You're right.
Starting point is 00:45:30 You're absolutely right. It went to a crazy degree. But it doesn't negate that there were things that. were helpful and there were facts and points that were made. They got completely washed away by all the craziness and the enforcers, but they were there underneath it all. But Patrick's right, and I'm going to give Patrick some credit here. The vaccine thing was a cost-benefit analysis. Sure. And we were denied the ability to even, just like the race thing, we were denied the ability to even say, isn't there a cost-benefit analysis, for example, for teenage boys, on whether or not
Starting point is 00:46:04 what the risk of COVID is versus the risk of the vaccine? then we were crazy people if we brought that up and so you created this you created the place where damn right damn right Aaron Rogers gets a victory lap damn right he gets to do this
Starting point is 00:46:21 damn right because he was absolutely vilified that sports media God sports media is but he wasn't fully right about what he said he was just right that Fauci was wrong you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:46:34 he wasn't just right about everything. He was just right that Fauci was wrong. That's his victory. Well, I don't know if he's right about everything. That's what I'm saying. But he mostly what he's saying in that clip is that he was right that Fauci was wrong, not that he was right about everything. So he's
Starting point is 00:46:52 doing a victory lap on saying that guy was lying, which I understand. And that he was unfairly and he was unfairly vilified. Sure, yeah, a lot of people in the media were dicks about it, but yeah. Can I say dicks? I'm sorry. I was going well, I was going to go with a different body part of me to go
Starting point is 00:47:08 when I censored myself. Kind of like the opposite. Sure. Sports media, the opposite of what you just, the words you just used. Okay. Here's another clip of Aaron Rogers, because there's something else he did
Starting point is 00:47:21 that I want to touch on. I don't know if it's in this clip, but play this other clip of Aaron Rogers. No, seriously, what are they going to say about me now? Now, now that you can't talk about the COVID stuff, because obviously it was made, you know, in a lab in China. That's like not even questionable anymore.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Tony Fauci is an absolute criminal. I'm on, I'm on good. terms of my family. I'm on good terms of my family. What are you going to say now? What are you going to say now? Oh, I liked that. That was a nugget in there. I read that. He's back on good terms of his family. Because of his wife. That's a good thing. Yeah. His wife. Brown together. But here's what I really, we don't have this clip out. But he also went after ESPN. He brought up the Diana Rossini story, right? Oh, yeah. Which, to be fair to ESPN, she was no longer working at ESPN.
Starting point is 00:48:09 She was at the athletic. But she did for a long time work for ESPN. And he brought up ESPN. And he went after ESPN to Pat McAfee's face on ESPN, right? And it's so savage, dude. It's so incredible. And here's my message, okay? If anybody, any of my old friends, any of my former bosses saw that and in any way we're concerned,
Starting point is 00:48:34 this is a bit of free advice from someone who has no vested interest. That is so good for ESPN. To be able to host your own critics gives you so much more credibility. It's the confidence of facing your criticism. And I think that there's too much brand protection in media. And I even deal with this on my show. I always tell my producers, if somebody criticizes me on social media. And any, not, not just ones that I think are, are, um, worthy. Unworthy ones too,
Starting point is 00:49:12 because I'll laugh at them, but worthy ones. I send them to you. Say, Will, you got it wrong. I'm like, I want them on air. I want them on air. Because I'm not afraid of that criticism. If I'm wrong, I need to be corrected. If I'm right, I'm going to rub it in their face. Good naturedly. But that, yeah. I thought you were, I am science. Oh, what are you doing? Play a little more. What do we do? And how much time did the network spend to that? How much time did they spend on my responses every week, on my vaccination? No, that's about the rest of the media, Dan.
Starting point is 00:49:42 That's about the rest of the media. But he did go after ESB and specifically. It comes in right after this. How much time did your network spend? Did your network spend on that? Our network? I wish. How much time did you speak?
Starting point is 00:49:57 Go back to Fauci. This is awesome. Go back to Fauci? Yeah. Go back to the Coward Tony Fouchie. He's spending the entire time writing in his diary about how fun it is to be famous. You got to be kidding me. It was pretty brief.
Starting point is 00:50:14 No, I thought he did more, Patrick, on the topic of Rossini. Oh, was it later on? ESPN again. Maybe, I don't know. But that's right there. But my point is that it may not feel good in the moment, but that is good for you. I truly, truly believe that. I don't know if Pat got in trouble and you could hear the guy's nervousness.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Go back to Fouchy. Go back to you. No, no, dude. That would be me. That is good. And it puts Pat in an awkward position. That's that. Like if somebody did that about Fox to me, that would be really, really difficult.
Starting point is 00:50:50 And the hard part is you want to be a team player. You want to defend. But you also don't, you're not, we're all individuals as well. So if somebody else says something that I didn't say, I'm not really responsible. for what that person says. But they're my teammate, so do I have to defend them? I don't know the calculus there, but I do think that is, or teammate, they're my colleague.
Starting point is 00:51:14 You know, I just think that's good. I really do believe that's really good for credibility for that to happen. And Aaron Rogers gives no Fs. I mean, they didn't know he's going to come on. No. But, you know, they can't just cut, like cut the feed, cut the feed. No, but the question will be, is he back next week?
Starting point is 00:51:33 Sure. Now, Pat has a ton of license and power. Yeah. Oh, they're paying him for that. Well, that's probably a McAfee is paying him. Pat pays him. Yeah, yeah, of course, of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:44 That's why he gets so much, and then it goes through, it's all a thing. By the way, I do love Aaron Rogers, and thank you for all your service for the Green Bay Packers, having said all that. But, I mean, Aaron wasn't the only one who went through it. I mean, a lot of guys, you look at Joe Rogan, you know, they put a fifth. filter on him on CNN for getting Ivermecta for this stuff. Made him yellow. You made him yellow. It's like they literally literally lied.
Starting point is 00:52:10 And then it's like I don't have a problem in the first month or so when we actually didn't know what was going to happen. Like there was a lot of unknown out there. We didn't know what was going to happen. But then it's like when you get to the George Floyd time, they're like, oh, no, you can go protest. Then it's like, you know, you can easily see through the facade. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I was afraid of COVID for the. first month. For sure. Yeah. It's reasonable. We thought it was on things. Like we'd wash it was reasonable. Certain people were saying like, you know, people are dying in China. They're just falling down and falling out of buildings and all this kind of stuff. Yeah, you have every right to dude, New York City was, Patrick, New York City was crazy. Just everybody lived through it. My wife was here. I want to tell you two things like I remember riding the subway. This was probably in the first week. As the city began to fall apart, the world began to fall apart. And I was working at South Street Seaport for ESPN.
Starting point is 00:53:03 And the subway was dystopian. People wouldn't stand next to each other. They eyed each other super suspiciously. When I came to the studio, you basically had a huge distance for the people. They had wiped everything down. And it's, dude, just being around that for a minute, you're like, oh, my God. And I remember this moment. I opened my front door to my, I saw, I did see one or two dead bodies go out of my apartment building.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Same. Wheeled out. White sheet. And I remember opening my apartment door, and there was a dude in all white, like a hazmat suit with an ultraviolet ray gun shooting the walls. Like he was killing stuff on the walls with this ultra. At that point, I'm like, we're out. Yeah, we're done. My wife and like, we're out.
Starting point is 00:53:48 We're leaving. And we left New York. But that was scary. That was legitimately scary. Compounded. By the way, that's partly Fauci's fault. He had more information than we did right off the bat. And he lied.

Because I haven't gotten to all of them.
Starting point is 00:54:48 I have a feeling it is the one about the pit bulls. Yeah, he sent like five different things about it. Pit bulls? Yeah. Love this topic. This is a great topic. Here is actor, John Barrenthal. The Punisher.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Walking Dead? Yeah. But he's the Punisher now. Walking Dead. He's in Marvel movies. A lot of good movies. I like him as an actor, actually. Here's John Baranthal on Howard Stern on pit bulls.
Starting point is 00:55:23 My dogs are the greatest, and they're unbelievably well-trained. The myth of the pit bulls is a lot of bullshit. People got to stop that. People got to stop that. Pit bull on attack. No, man. It's just racism. It's just dog racism.
Starting point is 00:55:33 You know, I think to be. afraid of a breed of dog is completely ridiculous. It's like being afraid of somebody for their race or their sexual orientation. It's completely ridiculous. I think if you see somebody look, if a pit bull bites you, it's got to suck, you know what I mean? But they're no more likely to bite you than a chihuahua or any other
Starting point is 00:55:49 breed of dog. And it probably has more to do with who owns them and how they were trained. They have locked jaw. All right. It's dog racism. Dog racism. Do you agree or disagree, Ed? We're all just racist. Go ahead. Hit your mic.
Starting point is 00:56:07 This is really good producing. Yep. Killing it. So we have Ed over there in the control room. You can't hear him. Can't hear him. We'll make sure we don't have any dead air here. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I can't tell when I... No. Okay. I got to stop doing this. Okay. Yeah, that's not good. That's not bad. That's bad talent.
Starting point is 00:56:35 By... Me. I'm the bad talent for calling it out. Not you. No. No, no, no, no. Here's, put this up, Dan. Here it is.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Pit bull. Okay. Which dog breeds are involved in dog-on-dog attacks in England? Okay, so it's England and it's dog-on-dog. We're going to get to other stuff in a minute. Pit bulls, okay? Pit bulls are the attackers in dog-on-dog violence 61% of the time. Number two, by the way, it's a big drop-off, is my...
Starting point is 00:57:10 Melosian type and the number three is sheep dogs. What's a Melosian type? Can see what that what that is? But by the way, the Melosian type is like 17%. So Pit Bulls are at 60 something percent. Way, way, way, like an order of magnitude of five to six times more. Melosian hounds like a mastiff, like a huge.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Oh, a mastiff. Okay, that makes sense. Mastiff style, yeah. Okay. And I can't speak to sheep dogs because I had a sheep dog a long time ago and they are very protective of like toys and things like that. So I could see that. Right. I don't see Dobermans on here, by the way.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Oh. All right. That's dog on dog. Those are melanoma. Now we go to America's most dangerous dog breeds. Breeds and types of dogs involved in fatal attacks on humans. This is from 2005 to 2017, according to dogsbyte.org. Pit bulls are responsible for 284 fatal attacks on humans in that 12-year period.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Rottweilers come in second with four. 45. German Shepherds 3rd at 20. Doberman pitchers, way down the list, 6. So 284, with the next closest being 45 pit bull attacks. Go ahead, Dan. Can I just post something, though? I mean, they are the dogs used most in fighting, right?
Starting point is 00:58:29 Especially in America. So if you're- That's what they're bred for. Right. If you look at those numbers, and I'm not saying, but some of those attacks are trained or, like, rescued from those fighting. pits. So they have that in them. So it's not just the breed, maybe.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Is it just because they were trained that way? And that's why the numbers are up and not just because of the breed? Yes and no. Like, that's an overlap. Okay. Because training over time can become breeding. Right. Or you see what I'm saying? Sure.
Starting point is 00:59:00 If that's how the dog was created and bred to be a certain thing, it's in that dog. That's why a Doberman or a Rottweiler or a German Shepherd is more. or a sheepdog is more protective, you know, than a retriever. Right. Because they're made to do that. Now, that doesn't mean that it can't fluctuate. You know, I'm a Doberman owner. And I know that some people are nervous around Dobermans.
Starting point is 00:59:27 I see the stats. There's not as much reason to be. And I will tell you, Dobermans, so market trends can dictate things. So Dobermans were a popular, tough breed in the 80s. And that's why they were in all the movies, like the John Candy movies, guarding the warehouse, in the junkyard. Beethoven? Yeah. But they fell out of favor with that.
Starting point is 00:59:51 And then Rottweilers replaced them. I remember this in my lifetime when the same type of person who wanted that dog, the tough looking dog, replaced it with the Rottweiler. Rottweiler's may be nervous. And then from Rottweilers, it went to Pitbulls. And pit bull's real, I bet if we see the stats on Pitbull ownership, it really spiked after that. By the way, I think that there's a little bit of a pivot away from pit bulls now. I get a lot of dog in my algorithm. Cain Corsos, and those types of things are getting more and more popular.
Starting point is 01:00:21 So that type of popularity can drive the demand for a certain type of dog. That doesn't negate also the actual breeding. And pit bulls are bred to be violent. That's what they are bred to be. And they've locked job. Now, you get into a couple of... Well, you get into a couple. That's part of the breeding.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Like the wide jaw, the huge jaw muscles. Baranthal's point about, like, a Jack Russell, yeah, those things kind of suck. They'll bite you. But a Jack Russell terrier biting you doesn't have the same effect as a pit bull biting. And that's not a diminishing factor. That's an expounding factor. That's a problem. They fill the most pounds, too.
Starting point is 01:01:05 That's a big problem. Pit bulls in America. Well, that's another thing. The owner. So you get two groups of people, I feel like, that primarily drive this problem with pit bulls. One, the barbed wire tattooed bicep tough guy walking down, as Berenthal talks about, Venice Beach with his gigantic mean-looking pit bull because that's what he wants is this gigantic, tough-looking mean pit bull. Honestly, I think the more dangerous version of that is, I'm going to put it the way it is. Michael Vick.
Starting point is 01:01:35 The single white girl. Oh no, I wasn't going to say that. You weren't going there? No, you're right. It's the single white girl. It's the single white girl that adopts it from a pound and says, exactly. You have savior complex. You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 01:01:51 It's all nature. It's not nurture. And I'm going to bring her along. And that girl has no control over this thing. But it's true, dude. It is 100% true. I know. And the bottom line is I'm a gigantic dog lover.
Starting point is 01:02:05 I like big protective breeds, I'm not that comfortable around a pit bull. That's the truth. I'm not that comfortable. I feel like it's a loaded gun. But to say racism. That doesn't mean your pit bull. That doesn't mean your pit bull. Your particular pit bull could be super sweet and nice, but that's your thing.
Starting point is 01:02:24 And there's this viral video going around of this dog trainer. He's apparently a very, very famous dog trainer, and he's walking this pit bull around. It's not Caesar Milan. No. Just because he's Mexican, Ed. Doesn't mean he's the only dog trainer out there. Now that's racist. And I do love Caesar.
Starting point is 01:02:40 No, it's another guy. And he's saying he's walking it around and he's like, people just, I've never heard of him. They say he's like one of the top top dog. And he's saying the same thing. He's like, these things are a risk and you cannot externalize your risk to your neighbors. You can't, you can't put this on them. That's a problem. That's scary.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Like I've seen him just kind of like, I've seen one to just snap. completely. Not trained well, but yeah, it's just it's tough. I do think that. Michael Vic, Patrick, Michael Vic is in that first category anyway that I was talking about. I mean, he was dog fighting them. So he's like that tough guy. He's seeking that kind of dog out purposely.
Starting point is 01:03:21 The single white girl who's treating it as a fur baby, she's a different issue. For some reason, I'm thinking of like a white biker or something like that. Not like a, like in the South. I'm a brunch animal for these people. Like in the South, it's very much like in black culture to fight dogs, especially pit bulls. And so, like, that's where Michael Vick got it. And I know Durwin, or Dalvin Cook got in trouble for fighting pit bulls and burning pit bulls. God, man, he was awesome.
Starting point is 01:03:52 I think that's why he's, I think that's why he's making the connection between dogs and racism, calling it dog racism because it tends to be very prevalent in black culture. Oh, I don't think that's why he's doing it. I think he's just defending pit bulls and saying it's a negative prejudice based on superficial characteristics like racism and that it's not well earned. And he's wrong. It is well earned. It's statistically and factually well earned for pit bulls. And now what we do about that, comfortably smug said put them all down.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I don't know about that. They do get put down an alarming rate, though. Also, I want to be clear. You said I was being sarcastic. I wasn't being sarcastic. I didn't think we're going to cover this topic with them. I didn't realize that Smug had such strong opinions on pit bulls. He must have got bit by one.
Starting point is 01:04:46 He's in North Carolina. Let's check in with the Wilicia. Scott Smith says, too many people don't have a working knowledge of the world in general, couple with the need for instant gratification. I think he's talking there about politics in general. I don't know if he's talking about the rise of the deal. ESA and their policies, or if he's talking about the black-pilled version of the right. Ron McBride says, guess what will unite the country?
Starting point is 01:05:17 Mass accountability. You should have retired General Blaine Holt as a guest. He is stating Trump is soon to sign a merging declaration of incapacitated government. I don't know. I don't know who Blaine Holt is. I like the first part. And I don't know what this. Mass accountability.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Yeah. I mean, that's what people want. That's what people want with Fauci and what we're talking about Aaron Rogers is they want accountability. They want people to say, you know what, I was wrong because of whatever reason. I think I see that a different way. Yeah, I hear you on that. I think personal responsibility and personal accountability is what has to happen. There has to be some ownership of your own life.
Starting point is 01:06:04 I see what you're saying, yeah. true. Instead of constantly looking for external reasons of your dissatisfaction, for your dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction. You okay? Smell toast. Disatisfaction. Disatisfaction. Disatisfaction. Disatisfaction. I have huge jet lag today. Gigantic jet lag. Yeah. I know nobody wants to hear about it. First round by says, what is Trump a compliment? other than the border issue. Well, bringing down inflation.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Granted, it rose somewhat after the onset of the war in Iran, but Trump has brought inflation down incredibly. He's increased energy production. He wins golf tournaments. He did win that golf tournament recently. I mean, can I ask you serious, do you think, like, it's, here we go. It's not that serious. It's not that serious.
Starting point is 01:07:04 It's going to be fun. He didn't win, actually. Watch. I know he's going to say. How did he not win? How did he not win? Are you saying nobody else tried? He hit the ball in the rough and then he threw the ball across the green.
Starting point is 01:07:17 He's like, oh, just a little kick. Oh, well, that's one shot. Yeah, that's what people think. I mean, how many men have his age win, you know, their club tournaments? It doesn't really happen that often, but I'm just saying. It's still a senior tournament. I just saw this tweet. I just saw this comment.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Solomon Wood says As many kids as Patrick has I wouldn't even sit next to him I'm a man and I'm afraid I'd get pregnant After today you're safe This is a Connor in the background You never hear from Connor And he's just cackling it up in the background
Starting point is 01:07:55 That one got him That's a funny laugh too Connor That one got them Can we Can we isolate Conner's laugh? That was great It's airborne Yeah Patrick's
Starting point is 01:08:07 Incredibly virile. Yeah. Incredibly. What's your testosterone count, Patrick? Oh, man. I don't know. It should be much higher than it, than the numbers state. Nobody can take that away from you.
Starting point is 01:08:19 No. It's a serious concern. Patrick, how many kids do you have right now? We're going to have eight next month. Yes. Next month, she's expected again. My goodness. And of the eight, how many boys, how many girls?
Starting point is 01:08:35 Four and four. It's a good even number. You know what the next one's going to be? Yeah. It's a boy. What is it? It's a boy. I would think you'd be a guy.
Starting point is 01:08:48 I kind of feel like you'd be one of those people that doesn't want to know. Why? Until they come out. No, I want to know well before. With that many kids, does it matter? Like. Yeah. Because like you form, look, you form, you literally form bonds with children while they're still in the womb.
Starting point is 01:09:03 I mean, like, you have, when you think about, like, all these children that come out and they're all effed up when they're adopted, you know. And it's because, you know, they weren't loved in the womb. It's like, yeah, it's a very early thing. You've got to start from the beginning. What do you do to love the child in the womb? Sing. Just talk to them and, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Be nice to them. I like it. I'm 100%. I agree. I'm just curious. I'm just imagining you loving the child in the womb. No, he's already talking about the conspiracy theories to the child. He's saying, you know, don't believe everything you.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Don't believe everything when you come out of here. They're lying to you. I don't even know where this conspiracy theory thing took off. You know that child's system is his mother right now. Should he question the system? My wife is way more of conspiracy theorists than I am now. Do I really know you made me? Do I believe that?
Starting point is 01:09:53 You think that child, that little boy is squinting at his mom yet in the womb? What's she really all about? What's this really all about? What's really going on here? Like, hmm, I'm not sure about you guys. Why isn't she eating more Taco Bell? Yeah. I'm not getting this.
Starting point is 01:10:13 Taco Bell. I know. This poor kid. My wife is in this food. My wife got geriatric diabetes. And so she's not eating Taco Bell. It's been really lame because I have to sit there and eat it by myself in front of her. Loving in the womb only goes so far.
Starting point is 01:10:35 I won't give up Taco Bell with you. I'm going to sit here and eat Taco Bell in front of you. Tonight's dollar mixing melts. Sorry, sucks for you. I'm not giving it up. Yeah. I'll get her a salad. God, that's good. Over on Facebook, Matthew Solano says it's easy to run your mouth in a chair on a radio show.
