Starting point is 00:00:00 News tonight, tonight at 10. College kid laughs at artificial intelligence generated video. We break down the story with our national correspondent. With Vince August and Cody Tucker. We and Vince August. Zero idea of who's on the show today. Zero. Zero idea.
Starting point is 00:00:52 You had no idea he was gone. Yeah. Doesn't know if it's three of five. I didn't even help you. I didn't even help you in here. This guy, just get him off the show. No idea. What am I doing?
Starting point is 00:01:04 Is this the 4 o'clock show? Is this a podcast? Where am I? Good job. He knows me too well. You're the Mitch McConnell of podcasting. That is 100% what happened. First of all, my kids talking to me about his date and who he's going to take and
Starting point is 00:01:24 Texas OU and this and that. nearly two minutes before I come on. And, you know, my head's in that space. And then I had this line about tonight at nine. College kids looks at AI generated video. And then I'm like, what else am I talking about on today's show? I can't remember. I was like, hell with it.
Starting point is 00:01:41 And then I forgot to say the intro. And all I hear in the background is he has no idea. Oh, I'm not. Oh, I'm a clue. How dare you to Cody, too? Cody, what's up? Hey, Cody. Good to know you, man.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Forget this. Forget this Guinea. you know, wow. Wow. Wow. You dropped a G on them. Look at this. This thing went off the rails quick. All right. I got to dust some off and throw them out there.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Where does that rank? Like Italian slurs. Yeah. I learned what that actually meant. Right? For me, it doesn't bother me, but it's kind of, that's pretty much the N word of Italians. Yeah, because they're darker skinned. No.
Starting point is 00:02:23 That's what it means. Yes, it is. Come on. Is it really? Much is, yeah, pretty much. That's why it's a slur. Well, my apologies to my time. No, no, own it.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I had no idea. Yeah, own it. Listen. Well, I actually, the funny thing is I chose, I thought I was de-escalating because I was like, what can I call him? Oh, no good job. Nailed it. But I didn't de-escalate. I chose the most expensive one.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Hey, forgot your name, but welcome to the show, Wop. Yeah. Like, that's worse. Isn't that worse? No. No. No. The one he said is Waver's.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Oh, yeah. Yeah, no. Wop is like middle, middle of the road. I mean, that's like redneck for a one. Yeah, exactly. Right. It's like, okay. Well, for the record, I really, now that I have to say the G word.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Is that what you have to say? Yeah, I don't even know. Just say it. Just say it. You already said it. You already said it. Right. Who's coming after you?
Starting point is 00:03:16 I like it. I mean, I think it's a fun, funny word. I don't think it has a bunch of negative connotations. Oh, hey, might as well throw it out there. Today is actually starts the San Giro Festival. So welcome to the show, all Italians. Yes, we are embracing all of you. Hey, we got to talk like this.
Starting point is 00:03:34 On Wilkane, really country, it should be called. Wilcane, really country. Wilcane, really, really country. Is today the San Gennaro Festival? Is it really? 100th year, yes, starts today. Wow. We had Mexican Independence Day just yesterday or the day before.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Why did you look at Ed? Why did you turn to Ed when you said Mexican Independence Day? He's the one that told me. I didn't even know. You know, like everybody else, like nobody knows it. And then they get offended. It's not Cinco de Mayo. I'm like, yeah, we know.
Starting point is 00:04:07 It's not drinko de Mayo. It's September or something. Is it a real next to independent? Isn't it? What, uh, wait, so what are you doing for San Gennaro? We'll just take an extra nap. Yes, yes, we close. Instead of closing at noon, we close at 11 a.m.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Yes. And we spread that... Spread that lunch hour. Instead of from noon to three, it's 11 a.m. to three. Fill up on chicken cutlets. Yep. You know what's funny about me not knowing that word is so offensive? Like, okay, it's a reflection of two things.
Starting point is 00:04:39 One, growing up in a place where being Italian versus Irish, and Cody's like me, aren't you from East Texas, Cody? Yeah, I'm from East Texas. Not a lot going on over here. You're younger than me. So it's like you're one of three things. It's your white, black, or Mexican. That's it. And I say that out of specificity because the Latino or Hispanic thing,
Starting point is 00:05:00 it's not like there's a bunch of Cubans running around East Texas. No. You know what I mean? No. And Asian goes into Hispanic. Yeah. Like Asian fits into the Hispanic group, you know, usually. Like, that's how people look at, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Well, and because of that, then my only exposure is like the Sopranos or something like that, right? Oh, yeah. And so now I hear the word getting being thrown around all the time. It's like learning, yeah. It's like, it's like learning the inward through the wire. I guess it's okay. Everybody's saying it. It's like learning about sex through sex ed and not doing it, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah. It's secondary. Yeah. Look at Vince. I feel like he's a little offended or he's nervous. I'm not offended at all. It doesn't bother me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:51 What was the other reason? So the first, you said, So the first reason is East Texas, everybody's white. Lack of exposure. Okay. I thought it was going to be racism. Racism was just... No.
Starting point is 00:06:05 No, we didn't have the opportunity for racism. It never even occurs to us. You know, you got to have, like, proximity to be... No, the second was pop culture. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, like, I didn't realize that people were racist towards Polish people, you know. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:06:23 That was one of the original. Yeah. Yeah, never, I never knew that was the thing. Really? How does that? No, but same thing. Same thing, Cody. I grew up with Polack jokes, without a doubt.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I heard them, even though, like, in Texas, like, again, same thing. There's no Polish people running around, you know? But those became, those must have gotten really broad nationally at one point. Like, a Polack joke was the same as an Aggie joke. Do you know what I mean? Like, you know, how many Aggies does it take to screw in a light bulb? Same joke. They would just use Polack, right? All in a family. Archie Bunker, that was like constant.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Yeah. Well, World War II, I think, is what kind of spurred a lot of it on, is you started having people like kind of mingling who weren't normally going to mingle. You know, you'd have some kid from Birmingham, Alabama, who's now with a Polish dude from Cleveland. And he's flabbergasted. I wonder why, though, to your point, though, why Polacks became the one of the judges? joke. I don't know. That is interesting. Like, is there, I mean, I have no frame of references to what would be, like, bad or, you know, or not necessarily bad, but just, like, I don't know any stereotypes of Polish people. I think that's what it just became. It was that stereotype for that country. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, the Germans. What? Dumb? Yeah. Yeah. Because, like, the Germans were, you know, the conquer the world Nazis. You know, the Italians had the mafia thing. And then Polish for whatever.
Starting point is 00:07:53 was, you know, not smart. So every country seemed to have its thing, you know, back in 60, 70s, with comedians, really. That's really who perpetrates most of this stuff at stand-up comedy. Yeah, it says World War II. There was a negative stereotype towards Polish people.
Starting point is 00:08:11 And so the Polish jokes started. Yeah. So then that makes sense because a lot of comedians came out of World War II, too. Yeah. Even that, why? I don't know. You know?
Starting point is 00:08:20 Like, I still don't get it. It doesn't answer the quest. racist jokes. Right. Most racist jokes. I mean, for play on stereotypes, right? So is there a stereotype of polls that we're not aware of? Vince, you've got to be the one.
Starting point is 00:08:36 You're a comedian and you're from the Northeast, which means you have greater exposure to ethnic dynamics. Dan's got it. Dan's got the answer. There's a book that was written back then, Polish American journals that said, assertion that Hollywood historically was fertile ground for anti-Polish prejudice based on Hollywood's left wing and Soviet sympathies.
Starting point is 00:08:54 So because Hollywood was... So because Hollywood was leftist, it hated polls? Exactly. And they made them the butt of jokes. Exactly. Yeah. That actually makes a lot of sense. Interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Don't you think it's also interesting that something that has that historical grounding and permeated into pop culture, at least through the 80s, I would say? The polls have had no currency in the modern or... oppression Olympics whatsoever. Do you know what I mean? Like, it's just gone, right?
Starting point is 00:09:27 So, like, every other group has claimed their place on the medal stand and jockeys for different positions on who is the most oppressed. And the polls out of the running. They're like, they're like Yale football. Like, at one point, we had national championships. And everybody's like, yeah, but who was really playing? Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:49 But it's also the stereotype with Irish being, you know, big drinkers and alcoholics. And you talk to people in Ireland. Right. And you talk to people in Ireland. And they're like, not here. They're like, those are the ones that went there that do it. And then sure enough, when I went to Ireland, I'm like, what are you like DWI laws like? And it's super strict.
Starting point is 00:10:10 And apparently there's not this heavy drinking problem in Ireland that we assume that, you know, the Irish are just drunks. it becomes an American thing that we just kind of adapted. Really? Yeah, 100%. I think they might not all right to you. They're trying to bring Goodward back here. They're using you as a Trojan horse. I'm the conduit.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah, because I think they're, I mean, what's it about 6 p.m. over there right now? I mean, they're all hammered. Walking home. Yeah. But let's for a minute presume that Vince is right, which is a risky proposition. If you're correct, that's interesting in and of itself. Why would an Irish immigration to New York be the differentiator on drinking culture, right? And by the way, we could just back of the envelope guess some reasons, which would be pretty interesting.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Like, okay, who left? Who was coming? The most risky, the most adventurous, which kind of sometimes goes hand in hand with the biggest party or whatever it might be. like the people that came to America weren't just like randomly selected stock from the old country. They were the people that were like, I got to get out of here.
Starting point is 00:11:27 I got some debt. I got a warrant out or two. And I hear there's a big promise over in America. So that, you know, I'd be curious if what you said is true, why, Vince? Well, I think he goes back to what Dan said. I think what happens is Hollywood and entertainment
Starting point is 00:11:42 grasps onto something and then runs away with it and it becomes a part of pop culture, it becomes a part of entertainment, and then people just run with it. Like, the Italian thing has always been, what in movie? You're a mobster, back in the day, you were a cab driver,
Starting point is 00:11:59 you were a carpenter, all blue-collar workers. No one was cast in, you know, the movie Wall Street as an Italian. You know, it was, you're always a menial labor. What are Italians here? We get Super Mario. Yeah. Or mafia. So I think that became the thing
Starting point is 00:12:16 with a lot of cultures. You know, what was an Irish guy? You were a cop or a fireman in a movie. You know, so there was... That's true. But that's true. It's not like Hollywood just made that stuff up. I mean, the early New York police,
Starting point is 00:12:31 when I say early, we're going to go late 1800s to early 1900s. That was very Irish. Firemen and policemen, very Irish. Yeah. And that becomes the thing then. Then that's what you are. And then it becomes the, you know, who's going out for?
Starting point is 00:12:49 You know what they're against in Hollywood now is they do conservatives. You see this will all the time. One battle after another. They portray conservatives in a certain way all the time. So that they're still doing it. Yeah, that whole life imitating art, art imitating life thing. Yeah. And Germans, it's always bad guys.
Starting point is 00:13:05 It's easy. It's easier riding, you know, you can kind of, you just take the stereotype, go, okay, well, we've got a cop, man, might as well make them Irish. Right. Like, bye. Yeah, yeah. It's just the easier thing to do. It's easier to write that care. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Everybody has seen the character in real life. Yeah. Same thing. But a lot of people who came here came here because they were poor. And poor people do tend to drink way more. You got to drown out your sorrows. It's someone who, you know, has come from poorness. Trust me.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Yeah. It's way more fun to be poor and drunk than it is to be poor and sober. Right. That's a good point. Yeah. Where are you from, Cody? Longview. kind of by Tyler
Starting point is 00:13:46 I mean Longview You don't have to tell me I know Longview punches way above its weight Meaning like I know so many people From Longview For the size of town that it is
Starting point is 00:13:57 It punches way above its weight Yeah Yeah we do all right You know I mean Most of us not so much But there are a couple of us That are doing you know
Starting point is 00:14:06 Pretty decent I'd say Yeah Okay Let's do the thing I was actually trying to do before. Let's restart the show. Yeah, let's scrap this and start over. Can you just start over?
Starting point is 00:14:23 I'll play the intro song again. Now you know the guest, so let's do it. Yeah. All right, let's take a quick break. We continue this with Vince August and Cody Tucker here on Will Kane Country. Welcome back to Will Kane Country. We're still hanging out with comedian, former judge. Vince August
Starting point is 00:14:38 and the host of Rewind and Repeat with Cody Tucker, Cody Tucker. I was hesitant in some way to do the Arch Manning story a little bit yesterday because I'm like, it's just such a nothing story. It's kind of stupid. Yeah, I actually didn't find the joke funny. Arch did, right? What I'm talking about is, guy, you have to walk with me through it if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:15:02 After Texas beats Ohio State, ESPN sideline reporter Holly Row tries to interview Sarkesian, the head coach of Texas. He doesn't really want to be interviewed. and there's some backstory as to why he doesn't want to do the interview. Apparently, ESPN have been having technical difficulties at halftime and postgame. He had to stand around and wait for a long time. So by the time they get to him, he's like, I got to get to my team, Texas fight, hook him. You have that video, Dan?
Starting point is 00:15:28 Yes. The actual interview. Okay. This is what starts. All right. So then everybody gets mad at Sarkisian. That's the background. everybody gets mad at Sark
Starting point is 00:15:42 and then I guess at a press conference Arch has asked about it do you have the question in here Dan because I think he might have even been asked about AI videos that's what he was asked about just AI videos in general
Starting point is 00:15:59 no he was asked about that specific one okay yeah I've seen a few play arch but that's about it I saw AI edit of Sarks interview you all see in that one how's it going
Starting point is 00:16:16 of him slavin how I wrote that look to the side he knows someone goes bro yeah what he goes I mean what a nothing burger yeah oh no it's not Vince no it's not
Starting point is 00:16:33 I was joking but I was serious this was reported on by ABC's World News tonight Oh, crazy. With you and yours. I swear to you. I swear to you.
Starting point is 00:16:47 And they have a 30-minute broadcast without commercials. That means they have 22 minutes roughly of airtime to tell you the news of the day on ABC. And this is one of the stories that they chose to highlight with a reporter. They tossed it to a reporter in the field. Like a whole package? Yes. Stand-up. The reporter sitting there and go, that's all from Austin, you know, because Arch apologizes.
Starting point is 00:17:16 All right. So now, Vince, it's not a nothing burger. And almost every sports personality has tweeted about it. I would say 90% are like, this is so bad for Arch. You know, Holly Rose is the best, yada, yada, yada, the athletic. I don't know who else. They've written full columns on it. And then it was on first take.
Starting point is 00:17:38 And I don't know who this person is, Shea Cornette, but now here she is on ESPN. Okay. So Stephen A and I learned about this yesterday, and so I'll give my quick take on this. And when I first had heard Archer's comments and watched that press conference, my initial reaction was, my goodness, how insensitive, how immature. And kind of, quite frankly, like, how dare he say that, especially about Holly and the way he was laughing about it. As the day progressed, I thought to myself, okay, when you have this last name and you play at this university and you, you know, where that on your sleeve every day, you have to know better. And maybe that's unfair, given his age and his immaturity level still and what he's going through at his age.
Starting point is 00:18:15 But that is just the reality of the situation that comes with it. He's apologized. He had a conversation with Holly Row, which I love. Now, I do wish his apology was vocal, was on video as opposed to in text. But nonetheless, now we move forward. But what I do hope is obviously this was a very strong learning lesson for him. You don't necessarily need to be laughing about a video that provokes violence, especially towards women
Starting point is 00:18:37 and so Arch hopefully we'll do better I mean wow I retract what I said yesterday because I don't want to sound like her yeah what did you say yesterday? Kind of almost that for Arch just like you should just know better a little bit I retract it completely
Starting point is 00:18:53 I don't want to sound like her I mean you should from a PR move right only don't don't say anything just you know like you kind of have to have PR brain in public not that I agree with it. It's just, you know.
Starting point is 00:19:07 You just can't put yourself in that situation. Everybody in the room laughed before he even acknowledged what they were talking about. So there was a mention. The room broke out into laughter. And he asked them, he goes, you're talking about the AI thing? Oh, you guys all saw it. Yeah. He's laughing with.
Starting point is 00:19:24 He's laughing with the other people in the room. So what? Is everybody in the room going to apologize to? I mean, we have to, some of this stuff really. They want that. Vince, they want that. I know. They're calling for it. If you look at the calls, they're calling for that. Like, nothing is good enough.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Every man in that room needs to apologize for laughing. They're acting like it was a video of Sark slapping her, like an actual video. Like, that's what they're acting like. It's an actual violent. It's a fake video. Holly Roe was not slapped. Do we have to hammer this in? Who made the video?
Starting point is 00:20:00 He laughed at a fake video. Who made the video? Did Arch make the video? No. Okay. No. Did the University of Texas make the video? Was it just a random video that was made that clearly people saw laughed at it?
Starting point is 00:20:14 He laughed at them laughing at it. Okay. And then he comes out. He does a Mia Copa. Fine. I apologize. Reaches out. No, it's not good enough. We need this in public.
Starting point is 00:20:23 We need a public shaming of you because you carry the manning name. Oh, come on, man. The person who brought it up to him is a little questionable, too. That brought it up to have him respond to it. it. Yeah, I think it's kind of like a gotcha sort of thing. Yeah, exactly. Like, you know what you're aiming at when you ask that question.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Still, it doesn't matter. I mean, it doesn't mean anything. It's a group text moment. And it doesn't promote violent. Like, nobody watched that and went, ah, I should probably go hit my wife. Right. You know? Like, it doesn't promote violence.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Right. I mean, nobody's watching that thinking, I should probably go try to do something like that. Like, it's stupid. It's just a dumb AI video, you know. And here's what's going to do. to happen and I think it should happen. All of these on-field interviews are going to stop.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And you know what? They should. Let them enjoy their moment. This was such an amazing comeback for this school, for that kid, that coach. This could be one of those turning point moments for all of them and you have to immediately talk to the, if I was the coach
Starting point is 00:21:26 and I'd be like, listen, let us just enjoy our moment. We just went through a thing here. I'm going to do a presser out back. Half time too. Yeah. Yeah, right? The guy's going into the locker room. He's getting, they're getting an irasist kicked and you want to talk to. What do you think he's going to say?
Starting point is 00:21:41 Yeah. We need to do better. Yeah. We need to score more points. I hate those on field things. I've always thought they were the most meaningless moments in any game, especially the half time. The end of game, I can understand. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Some of those are great, like with the quarterback and his teammates, love those. But that halftime, he's not going to, what's he going to do? What's he going to do? Give you his whole game plan for the second half? I mean, yeah, like, hey, we're losing 21 points. I'm going to go in there and cuss out these guys, and I'll be right back, you know. You know, I've been in that building. I've been around sports media.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Let me tell you what this is also indicative of. This is so self-serving. Like, the people that are doing it, so they are used to having to talk about, you know, I've used this example twice a day, Josh Allen's performance in week one of the NFL. And they think of themselves as more important than that. I promise you, they do. And I don't know if they think of themselves as, political commentators or what they think of themselves, but they relish the opportunity.
Starting point is 00:22:37 It's like, oh, some NFL player hit his girlfriend. Oh, boy, now we get to go on today and say how awful domestic violence is. It's like, yeah, of course, we know domestic violence is awful, but there is an enthusiasm to do that because it's an opportunity to show the world I'm deeper and I'm virtuous. And it's always on the most obvious things as well. Oh my, you're opposed to violence against women. Because as opposed to what? And who? Arch Manning, who laughed at an AI video, you just climbed to the top of the cheapest mountain you can find and beat your chest about how important, smart, and virtuous you are. And they do it over and over and over at the cost of a 20-year-old kid. Like I said, breaking news, college kid laughs at AI video. That's what we're doing. Man. Were there other ones, like the Kaepernick one, did people go all in? Was that easy enough for them to talk?
Starting point is 00:23:33 about or was that kind of a little too much controversial? You were at first. Yeah. At first, absolutely. Then they started to realize, oh my gosh, everybody might not be with me. Exactly. You know what I mean? The country might not like that he's kneeling.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And then they didn't know what to do. Right. Then they had no idea. Right. Right. Follow the flow. And then just, oh, that's what we're going with. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Or the, you know, the Pride Day at MLB Stadium. And ABC, David Muram, man, you've got nothing else to talk about. going on. There's nothing else in the world. Nothing else in this country. There's got to be some food getting recalled. I mean, my goodness. By the way, Will, you've been in that ESPN room. Do you think they pushed her to do that or like kind of said like she should do it instead of Stephen A saying something? Or kind of like, it just seems like it was kind of a manufactured ESPN thing. Oh, well, I bet a couple of things went into it. They were like, we got to defend our teammate, Holly Roe. There was an element of that.
Starting point is 00:24:31 there was an element of we can't just let Stephen A talk on it or whoever else was at the table. I'm sure it wasn't just the two of them. We got to get the female's voice in there on this because after, I mean, I just listened to a whole, I don't know why I did, but podcast on, you know, the dynamics of first take back in the day of Ray Rice and how you're telling me you're not putting a woman's voice into this conversation. So yeah, I'm sure there was some compelling, like, and she probably wanted to. as well. She's like, I got it. I want to do it. I've got to take. And so all of that pushed it to happen. Yeah. Check this out, boys. Schools have had enough of energy drinks and over-caffeinated kids. The drinks are a new target for schools which say they are a distraction and a threat to student health.
Starting point is 00:25:22 So kids are loading up on what is it, monster and what does everybody drink in these days? Red Bulls. Red Bulls. Here's what the top. Yeah. It's not coming up, well. Is it still the top? I'm sure. Gotta be up there. I'm assuming Gatorade is still up there.
Starting point is 00:25:40 I don't see kids drinking Red Bull that much. I see him drinking ghost, ghost energy a lot. Yeah, well, that's Celsius, too. That's, yeah. This is the out of East Texas, by the way. Yeah, this is about a month ago. Yeah, it was about a month ago this story. Huh.
Starting point is 00:26:00 That's not like us. Yeah, that's your backyard. But I mean, though, we normally are not into that kind of business. I mean, well, granted, we were, we were drinking four locoes at school, so I, you know, could be worse. They'd be happy if we got a 40 with monsters. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I mean, they are horrible. 200 milligrams of caffeine, that's an insane amount of caffeine. Like, everybody, I don't, do people know this? Like, if you brew a cup of coffee at home, it's about 30 milligrams of caffeine. If you go to Starbucks, it's like, I think it's like 70 or 80 milligrams of caffeine. I don't think espresso, we'll defer to the Italian. I don't think espresso has as much caffeine. Black tea actually has more caffeine than I think all of it, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:26:52 Isn't it like black tea? Yeah. Black tea has a ton. Yeah. So that's like seven cups of coffee then, or standard, you know, cups. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, espresso is about 63.
Starting point is 00:27:04 That's right. Yeah. I thought there's more. Everybody thinks it's more because it's called espresso. But you also drink it in such small doses, too. Yeah. Right. But they'll give, you know, the thing about this is, though, they'll give kids basically methamphetamines and adderol.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Right. You know, so, like, you'll prescribe something that is, like, basically speed, but don't take caffeine. Yeah. You know, don't drink caffeine. Right. Wash down the Zoloff with water. Right. Here's Lexapro and a benzodiazepine and then Adderall.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Right. Kid, don't add Red Bull to the riddling that we're giving you, please. That's an offset. Your heart's going to explode if you drink caffeine and do Adderall. Yeah. That's crazy. Let's medicate the crap at him. Just make sure you're drinking water.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Well, and they're drinking, you know, four or five sodas a day, you know, unleaded, which, you know, that's about, you know, that'd probably be. equals an energy drink or two. You know, you just... What percentage, Dan, look this up. What percentage of kids are on all the things you guys are just rattling off? I mean, would it be insane to say 50%? No. No.
Starting point is 00:28:14 No, I'm thinking... I'd say closer to 20. Yeah, I was going to go 25. Yeah. Just Adderall or ADHD medication, roughly 4% to 5% of children in the United States ticket. Wow, that's really long. Bull, butter. That sounds like bull.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Bull butter. That's the Institute of Family Studies, said that. Well, I know a lot of people who were taking it who weren't prescribed it. Like, when I was in high school, everybody I knew was taking like Vivance or something. But it was usually because they were getting it from other kids. They usually did, like, one person would have a prescription and get, you know, a bucket full of it every month. And they'd just pass it around. I would love to see the statistic teams, teens on some type of pharmaceutical.
Starting point is 00:28:57 That's what I would. Yes. Yeah. Just to see what that number is. That's probably 65 is what I would say. But I would have thought that ADHD would have been the major drug, you know. It is. Anti-anxiety drugs, whatever that is.
Starting point is 00:29:14 All of that stuff. Now, again, a juvenile, so you're not going to get a lot of reporting on this, too. That's true. I don't see it at home. Yeah, so that's the other problem. All right, while you're looking that up. So I hate that Patrick's not here for this today. I know.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Because Patrick is my resident economic populist. Is Patrick in the chat right now? Do we ever picture of a new kid? He changed the name to Ocho. Oh, that's a great name, by the way. The Ocho, yeah, the Ocho Hatton. I just, my son has a fraternity brother whose name is Cinco. And I was like, oh.
Starting point is 00:29:54 And do you know this, Cody? I'm not familiar. That's what you, that's for the fifth. Do you know what I'm saying? If you're the fifth in line, Cinco. My cousin is named Quatra. Quatro?
Starting point is 00:30:06 That's what I'm saying. I have a cousin named Quatro. We need Ocho Hat and Bad. All right, let's take a quick break. We continue this with Vince August and Cody Tucker here on Will Cane Country. Welcome back to Will Kane Country. We're still hanging out with comedian, former judge. Vince August and the host of Rewan and Repeat with Cody Tucker, Cody Tucker.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yeah. That's got to happen. Yeah, we do. Yeah. I have an answer, by the way, for the pharmaceuticals. Yep. So, according to the CDC data, roughly one in four U.S. teenagers. 25%?
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah. 27% of Americans age 12 to 19 have taken at least one prescription drug in the past 30 days. That's pretty high. That's that number. That's high. Honestly, 25 is high. Yeah. You're talking about one in four kids.
Starting point is 00:30:55 That's a lot, man. That's antidepressants, that's birth control. Yeah, it's everything. Asthma, ADHD. Birth control's got a, I would think it'd be way higher than that just off of birth control. But it's still pharmaceuticals. I mean, still pharmaceuticals. Yeah, still pharmaceuticals.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yeah. Still changes your body chemistry. And it builds a habit. Let me take a drug. Well, the reason I say I wish 104 Pat was here because he's my economic populist. And, you know, obviously that's playing a major role in the midterms. You know, the way this is. is internalized mostly is through gas prices and grocery prices. And then from that, we extended
Starting point is 00:31:32 to having the affordability crisis. And if you look at, there's a brand new Fox News poll out that shows it's the number one thing by far on why people are going to vote, right? And I want to say this while saying, I'm not saying that people's struggles aren't real. But then you have to say, well, how much is a feeling that is grounded in reality and how much is just a Feeling. Feelings are real, right? And how much of it is vibes and so forth. So this is a pretty fascinating stat.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Yeah, I know it is. Sorry. I just saw it. Did you give it to me? Yes. Americans are richer than ever. So a new study shows that we have hit all-time lows in poverty rates. Okay?
Starting point is 00:32:18 So the poverty rate for all people in America has dropped to 10.2 percent, which is, if you go back to 2008, it was 14.4%. So it's been on this decline, and it's at the lowest rate it's ever been. I don't know if you have this one for me, Dan, as well. But the other story at the same time is that median home prices, or not home prices, median incomes have reached their highest ever. So we're at a place where median incomes are at their highest. Poverty's at its lowest. That's not to still say we haven't suffered from inflation specifically over the past half decade and inflation in some areas that impact people's lives the most, which is honestly where the government intervenes with that hyperinflation. That's health care and that's housing.
Starting point is 00:33:05 But, you know, you look at this and you go, like, objectively, it's not to say the economy's perfect and working perfectly for everyone, but objectively, this is like not just a little good. This is really good stuff for the economy. Can I pump the break for one second and ask what's the definition of poverty? Because, you know, I don't want this to be one of those things where it's like violent crime is down. And then, well, we don't include rape anymore in violent crime. And you start changing the definition of the thing just to make the number what you want it to be. So I want to know what the definition of poverty is.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Okay. Fair? I think, oh, not only fair, a great question and the most important question, because I've used that, and I don't know where you're going with events, but I've used that in reverse. Like, American poverty is by no means the same definition as global poverty. Exactly. Whatever poverty is, it isn't what it is in the rest of the world, right? And again, that's not to say there's not poverty in America, but most poverty in America is not defined, for example, by, a caloric deficit, right?
Starting point is 00:34:21 That's how it is in most places. Like poverty is defined by like, you literally can't get enough to eat. Now, are they healthy calories and that kind of thing? Okay, but now we're moving definitions a little bit because you're like, the human condition throughout, you know, history has been,
Starting point is 00:34:38 starvation is the enemy. That's what we're trying to beat here, starvation. And therefore, caloric deficit, right? So are we getting enough calories? Well, that can't count anymore. That can't be part of the definition of poverty. Access to technology, access to housing, access to health care. To your point, whatever it is, it's better than the rest of the world.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Is it not just income-based? Like what's your household income level? And if you're under that, that's poverty, the poverty line. This is the median here. I always thought. I thought there was some weird formula, too, where it takes into an account how many members of the household. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:18 So it's like, yeah, yeah, but it's still based on the income level of the household. And, you know, because from what I understand, the poverty number, at least when you have to go from Medicaid is ridiculous. Like you have to show that you're making less than like $15,000 a year to qualify for Medicaid. I mean, that's, come on. Really, $1,000 a month, basically, $1,200,000, whatever that is. I mean, that's beyond poverty. So, I mean, you know, you have to talk about sustainability to a certain degree. I'd like to know what that definition is before I do a victory lap for anybody.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Well, well, hold on, hold on. Even though I like your question, the only way it's relevant to this news item is if the definition has changed recently. Right. You see what I'm saying? Yes, that's why. Because if it's been the same metrics, if it's been the same metrics over time, then this graph is useful. It shows progress. But again, the metric has to take into account inflation, affordability, housing prices, and all that.
Starting point is 00:36:24 It can't just be, look, if you make $30,000 a year and it's always been $30,000 a year since 2009, well, then you can throw those numbers out now. Right. I think they factor in inflation. I think they factor in the cost of a basket of goods, like the necessary goods. I think that's what they do compared to. We call it, cost of living average, yeah. Yeah, it's families make less than 32,000 in pre-tax cash income is officially in poverty.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Oh, so it's just income. Family earned, SNAP, housing assistance, tax credits. 32,000 pre-tax. It does not count SNAP food stamps, housing subsidies, Medicaid, or tax, or credits or income. Right. But, Cody, that income moves according to inflation. You see what I'm saying? So, like, if costs are going up, then they're going to need that income to go up to cover those costs.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Right, right. To stay out of poverty. But that's why that graph doesn't, or, you know, the comparing it to historical numbers doesn't matter because that 32,000 now is not 32,000 and 2009. I'm with Cody on that. Yeah. Yeah, but in 2009, my point is it wouldn't have been 32,000, the definition. It would have been 25 or whatever. What was it?
Starting point is 00:37:39 Was it? I don't know. Yeah. Because if it was, then that's true it was. It's different. Yeah, well, yeah. Yeah, well. I would be curious to see when did it hit that,
Starting point is 00:37:50 when did that number become the number? Like, is that every year it's changing or 10 years, 20 years? Right. Because it would make a difference. What are you searching, Dan, definition of poverty over time? Yeah, I'm just trying to see if it's the same as before. Yeah. But I can't find anything on it.
Starting point is 00:38:09 I mean, to me, what I like to gauge things is, wages versus inflation. And if wages are ever outpacing inflation, I think the country is in a better place. If inflation is outpacing wages, then we're playing a losing game. I think that's the big number. When's the last time that ever? That's what I'm saying. Well, inflation, if you want evidence to be worried about inflation, look what the Fed did
Starting point is 00:38:40 yesterday, raised interest rates. I mean, that's what they're, that's what they're, but by the way, which is also an indicator of a strong economy. Like, the economy's doing well because the Fed has a dual mandate to get unemployment as low as possible and inflation as low as possible. And in some ways, those two things fight each other the entire time. So they're trying to find an interest rate balance that kind of hits. What do they say they want? Under 3% inflation, under 3% unemployment, something like that. And unemployment is good right now.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Like people are working. That's a good stat. And the economy, President Trump says all the time, the economy is humming, but inflation is doing not good. That's why they're raising interest rates. But you can't discount feel. And I know that numbers tell a story. And we had this with the last administration where they're like, look, look at the crime numbers. All the crime numbers have been going down.
Starting point is 00:39:34 And meanwhile, people in New York, people that were working in these Philadelphia, all these urban cities like, yeah, I'd like to see how you. you're counting those numbers because it doesn't feel that way. And I think feelings tend to trump these numbers because a lot of people, when they vote, they vote based on what they feel and not, well, look, the statistics don't agree with you. Well, no, I know what I'm feeling every day. I know how I'm living here. Your feelings can feel be skewed. You can convince yourself that you're worse off than you were a year ago.
Starting point is 00:40:03 You know what I mean? Oh, absolutely. Just because a headline you saw or someone else talking about it, when you're really at the basis of it, not. You know, it could feel that way. Yeah. But it becomes your reality. Exactly. Right. You kind of don't differentiate between the two. Like my grocery has to just vote based on that more so than just printing out a bunch of statistics and comparing them. Like my grocery bill hasn't really changed. Like when I was single, it was the same for 10 years or whatever. You know what I mean? Like I, even though it went up and down, I bought the same stuff. So, but I always thought it was more.
Starting point is 00:40:37 You know, the feeling thing, you're absolutely right. I mean, that's, that's been the conversation we've been having the last couple days about the AI thing. It's just like it's the feelings are what everybody's playing to. Yeah. I think the same thing with the data centers, to be honest. Versus the reality.
Starting point is 00:40:55 The talking points of the water thing. That's what politicians get really good at, is manipulating feelings. Sure, they do. I mean, at least they try to. Yeah, I mean, I... Go ahead, go ahead. Oh, I said they're trying to make you afraid that all the water's going to just disappear. Right. They hardly use any water
Starting point is 00:41:11 relatively. I mean, obviously, you read the number and you're like, oh, my God, that's a lot of water. California uses 1.2 trillion gallons of water a year on almonds. Yeah. Just on almonds. And data centers, a total, it's like 600 million. Or, no, it's like 200 million. I mean, it's still a huge number when you read that. But, yeah, it's not bad. It's politicians, what they play off of fear and assurance, right? So one, we got to scare the hell out of you to vote a certain way.
Starting point is 00:41:40 or tell you, look, everything's great. Here are the numbers to prove it. You're going to be fine. Yeah, you're fine. But assurance doesn't sell as well as fear. No, no. Pessimism and fear sells so much better than optimism and ambition, quite honestly.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Ambition's pretty powerful, but not as powerful as fear. Yeah, but you have to do both. Like, a good politician tells you this is what you should be afraid of, and I am reassuring you because I will not let that fear become a reality. for you. I will fix the fear. Which is what you see in every ad campaign. This guy wants to do this. Oh, no, your world's going to end.
Starting point is 00:42:18 But if you vote from me, I ain't letting that happen. Conspiracy theories happen that way, too. This is happening, but I'm going to change it from the inside. Trump won on that. You know, I'm not the inside, so I'm going to change that. You know, the same thing. Maybe he did. Now's a good time
Starting point is 00:42:35 to go after Dan. Damn it. I didn't like what he said just now, so now I'm going to go after him. But he actually did change it. I said a good thing. He did change it from the inside. Dan, he knows your name. I honestly think Trump is delivered.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Delivered on most of his promises. I honestly think that. I think this whole like podcast bro reaction to him, I don't think it's accurate. Like, you know, he said he's going to do this. He didn't do it. Trump never said he's never going to get in a war. That's not to defend. You argue the war in Iran on its own merits,
Starting point is 00:43:14 but Trump never said, hey, we're not going to do anything. I'm pretty sure he said no new wars at some point. I'm pretty sure that was his thing. No new wars. No forever wars. And he was going to end Russia, Ukraine, you know, within weeks. That's fair. He did say that. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 00:43:39 That's fair. I would qualify. He's been pretty consistent on Iran won't have a nuclear weapon and not afraid to be aggressive. But, I mean, yeah, he did call himself the peace president. I will give you that, right? The peace president. That's true. But I don't think that ever came with the implicit promise that we'd never do anything. We're not going to be dragged into forever wars. I don't know. Maybe I'm, maybe I'm wrong. Let's get after Dan. Here's the headline.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Married couples who don't share the same last name are more likely to get divorced. You don't say. I am in the middle of this happening as we speak. Let's check the graph. All right, couples who share a surname most likely, have lower divorce rates overall. Why is Texas in this? I think it was just a Texas study at first.
Starting point is 00:44:43 All right. So couples who share the identical same name. And I'm assuming this is... I actually don't know how to read this. This is heteros hoping you would because I didn't know either. I'm assuming we're talking heteromeration, right? Man, woman, and not same same. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Okay. Yes. All right. The same-sex couples do that? The same-sex couples do that? I don't think they do that, do they? No, that's why I'm saying that would throw off the numbers. And the divorce rate in the lesbian community is off the charts right now.
Starting point is 00:45:14 You haul. You hold. Yeah. It's like... Right now? Right now? Like it's gone up? It continues to go up.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I think it's like in the 70s. 70s percentile somewhere. Yeah, it's like super high. And then, believe it or not... Really? Yeah. And heterosexual divorce rate has gone down. And then two men, divorce rate is like...
Starting point is 00:45:34 lowest because, you know, guys just weren't shit out. 41% divorce rate of lesbians. Was it? Yeah. What's that number, Dan? 41%. No, that number's wrong.
Starting point is 00:45:46 No, I thought it was right. No, no, it is. That number's wrong. Like, a heterosexual marriage is like 40. In 2019, 56% of same-sex marriages between women and a divorce in 2019.
Starting point is 00:46:01 2019. And what was that number then? 56? trust me it's higher that's crazy I do divorce law I'm seeing 90% I practice family law trust me it's off the charts
Starting point is 00:46:16 and the state of New Jersey it's off the charts yeah well if there's one thing in comment in that and same sex couples men not as not high lowest divorce rate of all combinations
Starting point is 00:46:28 the lowest because there's two men really two guys just work things out man yeah it's just two guys rational dudes talking. Yeah. Figuring stuff out.
Starting point is 00:46:38 That, honestly, that interferes with every stereotype that I can think of. Back to the beginning of the show. Racist. Well, what's the common denominator of the lesbian relationship? Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean? Women.
Starting point is 00:46:54 I want them. Exactly. You're saying women drive divorce. Well, there's two women. There's two women. The more divorce. All right. Let's take a quick break.
Starting point is 00:47:02 We continue this with Vince August. and Cody Tucker here on Will Cain Country. Welcome back to Will Cain Country. We're still hanging out with comedian, former judge. Vince August and the host of Rewind and Repeat with Cody Tucker, Cody Tucker. God, I hate that. I said that. I just pictured.
Starting point is 00:47:17 My stereotype of this is the lesbians. They get married. Then they go and they start watching series on TV for the next 50 years together. You know, they stop going out. No, dude. They're called U-Haul lesbians for a reason. They move in a second. And the dudes stay social, and then maybe they're more forgiving.
Starting point is 00:47:34 of each other like oh i you know i i i found a guy that's okay aren't you uh aren't you more forgiving to your friends like thinking about like i you know if me and a buddy get into like an argument we that thing settled in 30 minutes to like if i you know i know like two girls they will hate each other and have a full vendetta for you know 15 years life yeah life long well okay now i will say this to your point cody if this is applicable women seem to change friend groups or friends or best friends more often. Do you see what I'm saying? You had a falling out with this friend.
Starting point is 00:48:12 And I don't think dudes do that. Yeah, you're right. Dudes don't fall out very often with their friends. No, you just don't talk to them in 20 years. Right. Yes. And you don't miss a beat. But it's always the same dude.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So, back to Dan. If she doesn't take your last name. Yeah, if she doesn't take your last name, it's got a higher divorce rate, which, to Cody's point, you're like, I mean, pretty intuitive.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I never thought about that. Right? Come on. I didn't think about that angle. I said it on. Yeah. Go ahead. I said it on the call this morning, and Dan goes, I go, well, I mean, it kind of sends a message.
Starting point is 00:48:56 I'm not all the way in on this. I'm not 100% committed. And Dan, that hadn't occurred to Dan. Yeah, that's kind of freaked me out when I heard that. I'm working this out of my head, and here's my thing. If you're going to have kids, I can see the need for the uniformity of the name. If you're going to have kids. If you're not going to have kids, I don't see the reason to take on the name.
Starting point is 00:49:23 I think it's a little... I think it's a little draconian. You know, we're going to get married. No, we're going to have... Why does just have my name? That's because it's what we do. You're saying why do we have to? Why?
Starting point is 00:49:36 You need this. This is the source of our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, when you say who, I mean us. Which by the way includes you, okay? Which is Western civilization, okay? American. This is our culture. This is what we do.
Starting point is 00:49:54 There's no, don't ask why. Just do it. Okay, I'm not asking you to be a sheep. I'm asking you to be a member of our culture. This is the guy who started the show by calling me a guinea. Exactly. Point for a than I think. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Yeah. Thank you, Cody. Exactly. But also, I mean, we tell, you know, why do we tell kids about Santa? You know, having to believe in all that. There's no real reason, but we just do it, you know? Yeah, that's a good point. We just do.
Starting point is 00:50:21 This is what we do. Now we are. I'm with you if you're having kids, if you're not having kids, especially if you're in, what if you're in a second marriage? Why do you keep messing with things? Because, all right, hold on. Quit messing with things. What if it's a second marriage? He's working well.
Starting point is 00:50:34 What are you doing a third marriage? What do you do? Just keep changing your name then? Yep. Yeah, you do it again. Yep. Yeah, I mean, unless she's a famous actress, I don't know why she's changing, you know, and even some of them do it, you know. Pam Landerson.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Well, it's happening with my wife right now. She hasn't taken my last name yet. She keeps saying, I will, I will, I will. Is she famous? No, she has a job where her name is important, but she's not famous. Well, but everybody's name is important. I know. I'm trying to justify it.
Starting point is 00:51:01 I kind of like a real estate agent? I like the South American thing, too, with the hyphenation. Oh, no. Yeah. No two last names. Technically impossible. You can't have two last names. But the greatest baseball names never.
Starting point is 00:51:15 No more Garcia-Para. Come on. What was that? That's one name. I've seen a real rise in the hyphenated last names on the sports fields. Is that on the rise in black culture? I think in black culture that's on the rise. You're more and more seeing guys with two last names on their.
Starting point is 00:51:33 jersey. Yeah, and Marquez Veldez-Cantling. I wonder what's driving that. Yeah. Yeah. I think people, it's just, I think it's a trend overall, really, because I've seen it, you know, and just people in general that they'll hyphenate the, it's just becoming more popular to hyphenate the last name. Makes sense. Yeah. Well, I had, then there's the other. It doesn't make sense. What's the kid going to do? What's the kid going to do? So when Marquez-Valdes-S-Cantling gets married. Right. And then his wife says, and then his kids, and are they, are they, Marquez-valdez Scantling Jr. Johnson Jr.? Just keep adding names, dude. Keep adding
Starting point is 00:52:07 names. That's right. That's right. It sounds like the royal family. Lord Mountbatten of Westershire, you know, whatever. Yes. I want, yeah, exactly. But so, so Will, should I be worried then? Is that what you're saying? Yes. Have you not listened to his whole point?
Starting point is 00:52:26 It's what we do. You're not a we, apparently. Well, I had an ex-girlfriend that was ston. against women taking men's last names, but it was for like a feminist read. It was like, I don't want to give up my identity as a person. You know, this is my family name, my parents' names, which I kind of understood that more. That's what I thought it stemmed from. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:47 But there's ways to do that, and I told Dan this morning. I get pride in your family. This is what a lot of it's about. It's pride in your family. And my wife has only a sister. So when she and her sister got married, that was the end of that last name, at least in that portion of the family line, right? And so what do we do?
Starting point is 00:53:04 We name our boys. As extensions, it's a middle name. In one case, it's a first name. I am. That's what my name is. My name is my mom's maiden name. The reason I'm Will is because my mom's maiden name was Williams. And so it's in my name.
Starting point is 00:53:22 See, there's things you can do. Well, like I said, if you're having kids, yes. Tinkering. But what if you're not having kids? You don't have to go tinkering with Western civilization, Vince. Why do you have to mess with things? I mean, I feel like it's going pretty good. And then here you come and you join all these other people and it's like, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's tinker here.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Yeah. Oh, we're the, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, a family unit, though. I think, that's what I like about it. Yes, it does. Does it or does the commitment make it? It makes you a family unit. It makes you, you are the so-and-sos, you know, with the apostrophe.
Starting point is 00:54:08 The Waltons. That's you. You know, that's why I love it. I don't need some woman to take my name because I'm a man and I need her to have my name. I want a unit. I want a togetherness. Kirk Russell and Goldie Hawn never got married and they've been together a lot longer than a lot of people. They didn't get married.
Starting point is 00:54:25 They didn't do the name thing and they're still together. He was married to Goldie-on. I mean, I'll take her name. Yeah, I'll tell you, I'd go by Cody on if that's what you go. There you go. Right. I mean, what if it's one of those names that doesn't go well together? Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Go ahead. You just swallow it. You just swallow it. That do feel for the, how about I do feel for the girl that has a really cool last name. And she's got to marry the dude with the totally wonky last name. And you're like, man, that's. Now you're a frank or something. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Yeah. But don't marry him. What's your life? All right. You're at a bar. Vince. This is for Vince. You're at a bar. Okay. And there's two women. Okay. At the bar. You're not a detail guy. You're not paying attention to rings and that kind of thing, whatever. And you're single. You're single. And you're on the prow. You're in the market. You're shopping. Right. And you, and you hit on a girl. And she's like, oh, I, you're, you're on the prowl. You're in the market. You're shopping. Right. And, and, um, and you, um, and you hit on a girl. And she's like, oh, I, Somehow it comes up her name and she's like, oh, I'm married. And it's like, oh, okay. Then you find out the husband's name and it's different than her name, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Do you think you have a better chance than if she had said she has the same last name as her husband? No, because the word is married. That's the only name? It's the only new. Oh, dude, trust me. As a divorce lawyer, trust me, the last thing that matters is that name. In fact, there are women. that meet men that are married.
Starting point is 00:56:04 And for whatever reason, that's a bigger turn on because it's some weird type of, well, you know, at least I know where he is. He's just with that one. Well, makes guys look sane because they got... What's your name? What's your name? Mary Jones. Are you married?
Starting point is 00:56:19 Yeah, what's his name? Cody Tucker? Yeah. So you're saying there's a chance. Okay. So you're not that into it, huh? Yeah. You're on the fence?
Starting point is 00:56:27 Yeah. And if you're, if you're Jalen hurts and you meet a girl whose name is D, and she's going to change her name to D. Hertz. Yeah, who's walking around with that all day? Okay? I'd be pretty good. That'd be sick.
Starting point is 00:56:38 So maybe they shouldn't wear wedding rings then. Yeah, there you go. Get rid of that. Get rid of wedding rings. Yeah. Why? Who needs them? It's another thing.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Yeah, why do we have those? That's stupid. That's a great point. Yes, because the jewelry guys got involved in this whole ceremony thing. But if a woman took off her wedding ring whenever she went out, you'd think a little something about that, wouldn't you? Not if she's faithful. dude, this is a...
Starting point is 00:57:02 You guys are conflake it off. You guys think that wedding ring somehow stops stuff from happening? It does. It helps. Oh, when I was a single bar? It's a bulletproof vest. Why do we have a 48% divorce rate? I wouldn't hit on a woman because she had one on.
Starting point is 00:57:15 I look at that. No, you're changing this fence. No, I'm not. I'm not. pretending like the wedding ring is a magic shield. And I agree with you. There are some situations, in some weird situations, the wedding ring works in reverse.
Starting point is 00:57:29 That's true. But what I'm saying, and I think what Cody is saying is like, if you are someone who chooses not to wear a wedding ring, people have a rational thought as to why. What are you communicating and what are you saying? Even subconsciously. And if you choose, and yes. And if you choose not to change your last name, people could have a rational wonder as to why. And I'm speaking from me. The answer isn't, by the way, the answer isn't always that she's not committed.
Starting point is 00:58:05 But it's not irrational to wonder if that's one of the reasons or one reason or potential reason. And I'm just speaking from me. I'm in the bar, the hypothetical bar you just invented. And they don't even have to say married. I'm taken. I'm with somebody. I'm seeing somebody. Dude.
Starting point is 00:58:25 It's like a partner. Yeah. I'm out. out of that. Because if that person is in that situation and they show any interest in you, dude, red flag immediately.
Starting point is 00:58:38 That's what you want to get involved? No, no, no, no. Look at Cody's like he has. Oh, yeah. What do you mean? That's the easiest. Someone, Suzanne made a good point. People take off the ring because it throws off their golf game. That's why men take off their ring. Sure it is.
Starting point is 00:58:54 How many people? Well, no, hold on. No, I know. That's the joke. She's joking. There were people that go to the gym, and if you're working out the gym, I see women taking off their rings at the gym all the time. I lift with my ring on. Get out of here. It's fine. Yeah, you can work out with your ring on, but apparently she still won't take your name, so what's I doing for you? Wow. Three against one now.
Starting point is 00:59:16 And we have to go. It's the end of the show. You guys forget I control all the mics over here. Just go be a member of Western civilization. Tell her that, Dan. Just be a member of the greater project. I try. And create the family.
Starting point is 00:59:32 She just doesn't want to go to the DMV and change it. It's a pain of the ass. That's more understandable than anything. True, true. All right. Last one. All right, New York City. This is great.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Mom Donnie has announced that they are launching their first two city-owned or city-run, city-licensed. Throne Labs. These are robotoilets. 17 of them are expected to come online in the coming months. You can see a picture if you're looking online. And this is actually helpful and useful to me. I lived in the city. You mean new homeless shelters? Vince, you ever lived in the city?
Starting point is 01:00:16 I never had in a... No, I shouldn't say that because I was in the Bronx for four years. But that was college, you know, when it was off-campus thing. No, I've never lived in a city, but I've been in and out of... the city since 1987, four years at Fordham, three years in New York.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Yeah. Bathrooms are a thing in the city. That's a thing. Like if you have to go to the bathroom, it's like, what do you do? And honestly, Starbucks becomes the public toilet. That's what's happened. They've cracked down, though.
Starting point is 01:00:45 They have, and there's fewer Starbucks. You've noticed that? Yeah. They shut a bunch of them down in New York City. So there's fewer places where you can go to the bathroom. And if you go into a place, you're like, can I use your bathroom? I mean, the best case scenario is they give you stink eye.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Like, you know, you're not a customer. What are you doing? Going to the bathroom. And I get it. Like, if you go into a Barnes & Noble, which there aren't many of those left in the city either, but you go to the bathroom, that's a little bit of a risky proposition. Like, because there's a dude there that should not be in the store, period, right? There's a homeless dude in the bathroom, often.
Starting point is 01:01:18 And in the public restrooms, which are mostly in the parks, those are also a roll of the dice. So what do you do? So I get the instinct. they got these toilets, right? Robo toilets. But here's the trick, the detail in this story. It's a 10-minute time limit. So you pay to go in or whatever.
Starting point is 01:01:36 I don't know if you have to pay. But at 10 minutes, that door opens. It's a sliding door. It opens on you. And apparently, as I read the article, that's amazing. Yeah, it's got a warning system. So like a minute to go, there's like a voice that says,
Starting point is 01:01:52 you've got one minute. And so obviously I want these things in every city in America I want these in every city in America Are you kidding me? How is this not a game show? Are you kidding? In Japan, I'm sure it is.
Starting point is 01:02:07 I want this everywhere. Can you imagine? I mean, this would be no issue for me. I'm like a one minute or less type fella but I could see how this could be some real cause some real issues. One minute or less? I'm in and out.
Starting point is 01:02:22 In and out. Well, you know, I just... I feel like sometimes I lose my sons for half a day. Like, where do you get a hot-bobber dog? Well, people sit there and scroll, you know? And you lose track of time. So you said it's robo. Does it move or is it stationary?
Starting point is 01:02:37 That's what I was curious about, too. Is it like a... That looks portable. Waymo, but for a toilet. Dude, that's even better. Imagine you've got to go and you've got to chase this thing down the block on top of it. Like an ice cream truck? Oh.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Are you kidding me? That thing's going to look. I'm liking this idea more and more. Oh, dude, it's going to be gross. Are you kidding? But after a week, it'll be unusable. You've got to do more than two at the beginning. Dan, look up.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Is it free? The reason I want to if it's free is because the issue, well, are the homeless going to use it? Like, from hanging out? For 10 minutes? For 10 minutes? I can't wait until that door slides open. I went the first video, and there's just a dude sitting there going, No!
Starting point is 01:03:23 I'm not dumb. I mean, what happens, though, other than the door opening? Like, if you are a homeless dude, yeah, you just sit in there regardless. What, the door opened? Like, is somebody going to come, like, pull you out of there? Doesn't say there's any cost. I'm sure it's free.
Starting point is 01:03:41 That's all 17 free, menstrual-friendly, cost-effective, modular bathroom. What? What did you say? Menstrual-friendly. So they'll have- What does that mean? They'll have tampons in there.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Oh, tampons, yeah. For dudes? Well, you can't say that now, well. And you know there's going to be an equivalent to the Mile High Club with this bathroom at some point in time. That's going to be a challenge. No, I don't think there's going to be. Oh, no doubt about it. No doubt about it.
Starting point is 01:04:08 There's somebody out there. Dude, it's New York City. Are you kidding me? Stop, Will. There's no way. There's going to be a club. Did you join the Robo Bathroom Club yet? You got to hit it in, like,
Starting point is 01:04:21 less than 10 minutes. I'm also not putting myself in a closed space in New York City. I love this thing. I want him everywhere. They should do them. Dan, I want you to, Dan, I want you to do a field trip for us.
Starting point is 01:04:34 I want you to use one. I'll be one of the first ones. I want to know how quickly they become nasty and unusable. Like, and then are you a one minute guy like Cody, Dan? Let me tell you something, Dan. You would be better off walking into a Wuhan lab than inside of that thing, okay?
Starting point is 01:04:53 There's going to be coli by the time I get out of there. There's going to be more diseases in that thing than in the Wuhan lab. Oh, there's going to be stalact times. There's a free penicillin shot inside of it. This is the phone booth of the 80s that I grew up in. I mean, you know how many drugs are going to be taken. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 01:05:12 You syringe is the least of your words. Yeah, intravenous nears are going to be all over that thing. The DNA profile in that thing is going to be amazing. I love this idea. It's like a trap from Saw. Yes. Yes. A voice comes on.
Starting point is 01:05:29 You have five minutes to get out. I am starting a YouTube channel that's going to just follow one of these around. I mean, it's going to look like someone fired a chili cannon. Like somebody slaughtered a lamb in there. Look at Will. He's lost complete control of the. show. He doesn't even know what to do anymore. My brain
Starting point is 01:05:56 went somewhere really dark. I sat here and I debated it. I was like, should I? I'm not going to. It was about the righteous Jimstones and baby Billy and I started thinking about that. Come on. Ed's back. Ed says they're free from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. They're shut down after dark.
Starting point is 01:06:18 The Robo Club. The Robo toilet club is going to have some kings in its game. So wait a minute. What if you're in there after, I guess the door doesn't shut after 10? It doesn't open. But yeah, but what if you're inside? What if you're inside?
Starting point is 01:06:34 What if you hit it at 955? What are you locked in that thing? It locked in until 7 a.m. You're going to show it to you. I think opens at 7 a.m. It's like, oh, I come stumbling out. Just like that land in stranger things. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Yeah. The upside down world. I would take the upside down over that thing. Just come out of it and looking like Vecna. I think very, very productive show today. Great show. Oh, man. By the way, I wanted to talk to Cody about Rewind, your show about rewatching movies.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Next time, let's do that, Cody. Well, real quick, what are you rewatching right now? What do you rewatch? So the movie that we're doing next week is Traffic. The Michael Douglas film. Oh, that movie. Yeah, I love it. Great.
Starting point is 01:07:28 It's not one I've rewatched. Oh, you got to watch traffic again. Amazing movie. And then after that, we're doing all horror movies for, you know, October. So, yeah, Blair Witch, Psycho, Strangers, good stuff like that. What's your most rewatch movie, Will, that you'll always go back to? That you can just watch any time if it's on. Well, it's probably Lubowski.
Starting point is 01:07:55 But, yeah. I'll, hell or high water. If that's on, I'm in. I'm watching it. Yeah, I don't know. Go around the horn. What's your most rewatched movie?
Starting point is 01:08:09 Vince? Oh, God. Probably Magnificent 70, original one. Bill Brenner. I've watched that a million times. Mine's Field of Dreams. I've literally watched Field of Dreams. and then restarted it again and watched it through.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Yeah. That's good. Mine's Jurassic Park. Close second would be Silence of the Lambs. Jurassic Park? You want to watch that over and over again? Over 400 times so far that I've counted. Why?
Starting point is 01:08:41 Well, I mean, a mild case of autism, I'm sure. I don't know I love dinosaurs. You know, just a touch. I just, yeah, I love dinosaurs. It's an amazing movie. It makes me feel good. You know, it's all childhood. It's like comfort food.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Yeah. Yeah, it's like a bowl of mac and cheese. All right, boys. That's it. Make sure you check Cody out. At, what is it? Rewind and Repeat with Cody Tucker. Cody Tucker.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Nailed it. And Vince runs his mouth on X. No. At Vince August 21. not at guinea on x.com or whatever he was going to say. That was taken. That was definitely taken. Love you, Ben.
