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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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%?
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You haul.
You hold.
Yeah.
It's like...
Right now?
Right now?
Like it's gone up?
It continues to go up.
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
That one was taken.
Yeah.
Good to meet you, Cody.
See you guys.
Good to meet you.
Bye.
