Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. Will Kane is here in the flesh. Cheers to Will Kane.
A
Cheers. Finally.
B
Yes.
A
Said. Do I have to wait to take my first sip? She said yes.
B
Oh, that's delightful. Very clean and refreshing. Very luxurious.
A
That is delightful.
B
Yeah.
A
It's not a margarita.
B
No, it's not.
A
It's got something fizzy in it.
B
It's a wonderful will.
A
You know what it feels like.
B
What's that?
A
It does have tequila.
B
Yes. It's got Mr.
A
Wonderful's tequila with Fresca. That's what it tastes like.
B
That's great. No, there's no grapefruit. Interesting, because that would kind of make it a paloma. No, I shouldn't say there's no grapefruit. There's grapefruit Lacroix.
A
Is that what this is?
B
Yeah.
A
Which is no sugar, so I'm in the right range.
B
You are, yes. And then it's got a squeeze of tangerine, lime and lemon juice. Because I want it to be multi citrus, A little teeny tiny bit of orange liqueur and half a packet of Splenda.
A
Splenda, yes.
B
Oh, Splenda is the jam in cocktails. I like it because you can sweeten them up.
A
Now, is it better? What if you just put tequila in Fresca?
B
Yeah, that's a problem.
A
You made your homemade. You basically made homemade Fresca.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
Lacroix Grapefruit with Splenda. Yeah. That's kind of fresco.
B
It is so. It is like a citrusy paloma, which makes it a wonderful will.
A
Yeah, wonderful will. I love it with a good tar pick coming out the side.
B
Oh, that's right.
A
It's really nice.
B
That's real nice. Have you been surfing lately?
A
I went to Hawaii this summer.
B
As did I. And I think I went the week after you guys.
A
Well, guess what? Waves came in.
B
I know.
A
Like you guys. I left home. No, I left. It was flat as could be.
B
Oh.
A
But my. One of my sons stayed longer.
B
Okay.
A
And he got waves.
B
Wow.
A
And they were big waves.
B
I know.
A
And so, no, I haven't. I don't remember the last time I surfed. I will be surfing in October.
B
Where are you going?
A
Waco, Texas.
B
Solid. I'm going the wave pool.
A
Yep. I have a day booked, which I bid on at an auction. Really cool story. The Adaptive Training foundation in Dallas, Texas, is an incredible gym where they work people out who have lost their limbs.
B
Is that where Ben hall went? I don't know if I know he was in Texas. I want to say mco, but that could be wrong. Don't, don't. Mark my words, but I know he spent a significant amount of time in Texas.
A
Well, this is run by a guy named Dave Va bora, who was Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL draft. The last pick in the NFL draft. He was in the league for a couple years, and he started this gym. And he brings in, yes, a lot of military veterans, but also people who've just been through tragic accidents. Two of the young ladies I met there were. Were teenagers. One was in a car wreck. She got thrown in Idaho, up into the air and suspended and hung from the electrical wires. She was up there for an hour and a half. She lost one of her legs and part of an arm. Another young lady was a high school cheerleader playing in the backyard, showing tricks with her friends, and they tossed her up. She landed on her head and she's paralyzed. But he takes these people, Kennedy, and they pull sleds. They do incredible workouts. It's really hard. And so, raising money for the Adaptive Training Foundation, I bought a surf package to go with a lot of these adaptive athletes.
B
Amazing.
A
To Waco, Texas, and surf in October.
B
Yeah. But you know what Kelly Slater says? From the moment you catch your first wave, you are a surfer. And that's why I think it's so incredible for people to feel that feeling and that feeling of dropping in and catching a wave.
A
It's really cool.
B
You know, hopefully making a bottom turn.
A
You don't have to be good. That's the thing. That's what got. I don't know if guys said that about golf. I don't golf. I'd like to start golfing, but I don't golf. Surfing is the thing in my life that I say I am unashamedly not good. And yet I love it.
B
I love it. Yeah. And no one ever looks at me and goes, wow, how long have you been sponsored? They're like, oh, is today your first day? I get that so often. It's like, yes, I just started in.
A
1994, by the way, if you're in. So you bring up Kelly Slater. And so this is obviously a man made wave. In Waco, Texas, they have an incredible wave pool. It's supposedly really good, and you can catch 20 waves in 30 minutes. And you're gonna get a lot of reps, which. That's what I need. I need a lot of reps.
B
Absolutely.
A
You know, you go out surfing naturally.
B
I don't have any shame catching white water.
A
That's right, because you go out Surfing naturally. And you're out there for an hour and a half and you catch five waves and two of them you actually did well on. You're like, am I getting better? Not a lot of reps here, but you can catch a lot of reps. You get a lot of reps and going to a man made wave. And Kelly Slater has a development in Austin, Texas. It's a little bit like a country club where people are buying homes around the wave pool, the surf park. Guys like Matthew McConaughey and others. I think there's got to be a home there with the name Kennedy on the front door.
B
I like it. I like. I like where your. Where your head's at. I like the idea of surfing regularly in, like controlled conditions because I always look away. Like I watch surf videos and they have these waves that are not steep and it's like. And they go on forever. I'm like, where is that wave?
A
Like a nice, relaxed, slow roller that you can catch. And you know what? I think the answer is Hawaii.
B
Okay.
A
That's the closest I've come to exactly what you're talking about. When you go surf on the east coast, or for that matter, I think most of the Atlantic, it is super fast. Beach break. It's coming.
B
That's scary.
A
It peaks, it crashes. You've got split seconds to catch and get up.
B
And it makes people go first because absolutely, they can catch anything.
A
But then in Hawaii, you got there and it's like, oh, look at this thing building. Oh, yeah. Oh, look, I've caught it. I have time to stand. Yeah, make a nice slow turn. It's easy, like Hawaii.
B
I may walk a few steps forward and then walk a few steps back. Yeah, I've had that a little bit in Costa Rica and I went surfing in Fiji and we went the first day to Namotu Lefs, which was way too big for me and it was terrifying. And I spent the whole time thinking I was going to die, by the.
A
Way you said it earlier. And just because you just used the word just now. Not only my politics. Lean right. I like to surf right. I want to go right.
B
Yes. I am a regular left foot forward surfer. I want to go right.
A
I want to see exactly.
B
Yeah, I left surges like, nah, I.
A
Don'T want to turn my back to the wave. No.
B
I don't know what it's doing back there. It's making fun of me, but that's. I love all those memes. Like what? I think I look like surfing. Well, my friends think I Look like surfing, What I actually look like Surface. Yes. Yeah.
A
The last time I think I told you, we were on this show together. I told you I went surfing in El Salvador.
B
Yes.
A
So I've done Mexico, I've done El Salvador, I've done Hawaii. El Salvador was something different. Is this scary in. In which way?
B
Being there outside of the water, like.
A
Walking around getting food different than Mexico. Now, this was a year or two ago. So it was early in Bukele's takeover of El Salvador. And, you know, does it feel safer today now that he's done so much to clean up El Salvador? I don't know. But I will say El Salvador felt sketchier than Mexico. Yeah, it just felt sketchier now.
B
But.
A
But more importantly, I don't know about more importantly, but more notably, for me, the water was dirtier. A lot of trash in the water. It's as though people dump their trash.
B
Yeah. If they're dumping trash, they're dumping sewage.
A
And it's just a lot of stuff. Like, you would paddle out and you're like, I got to clear a few, you know, Coke bottles or Sprite bottles.
B
Yeah. I would worry about E. Coli.
A
And the water's super warm. Super warm in El Salvador, like, in an uncomfortable way.
B
Yeah, yeah. I know exactly what you're saying. And that does feel like you're wading into a pud. Not the good kind.
A
Like not after a brown, brown, warm, trashy puddle. Not love you, El Salvador. Yeah.
B
But I. I do have aspirational surf spots and vacations. We were talking about, you know, if you win the Powerball, if you win $1.4 billion, would you go to work the next day?
A
Do the bosses listen to your show?
B
Absolutely not. They don't even know that I have a show. I'm like the Milton the Fox. Like, they see me and like, whoa.
A
You still know that a stapler is missing.
B
I was told my swing line stapler.
A
I would I go to work. I asked Kennedy that on Will Kane country, and she also dodged the question. Very well.
B
I said I would go to work the next day. Yeah, you'd pimp walk through until everything was transferred. When I see the transfer go through, it's probably going to be a different answer.
A
You know, it's funny. We talked about you'd pimp walk through the office, but would you let people know you won the Powerball? That's always the thing they say, don't tell people.
B
I would never talk about it. I would make sure it would known, But I would.
A
I would talk about it. But people would talk about it. No, they say, don't let people know you won because then they come out of the woodworks. Everybody needs something. I told you, this is.
B
There's never been a better time to ghost people. Because anyone you don't like, you can block their number, you can change your number, you can block their email, you can unfollow them on social media. Like there's never been a time like that where if you don't want to be in someone's life, you can truly. Emily Campagno, she's the best at this point. If there, if she has any friend who's had a bad date with a guy, she'll be like, give me your phone right now. I'm blocking him.
A
Really?
B
Yes. She will take your phone. Don't go anywhere. More Kennedy Saves the World right after this.

B
So years ago, before I was with my sexy teenage boyfriend, we were in Munich and I was texting people. She took my phone from me and so I was like, I was without a phone and I got bored.
A
So so that you would be present. She took your phone from you so that you'd be present.
B
I didn't make bad mistakes texting people I shouldn't have been texting. While in a foreign country, perhaps investigating some of the bars and nightlife in Munich.
A
This is its own podcast. Kennedy's life in Munich. I would buy a couple thousand acre ranch. I would buy, on your suggestion, a private plane and jet.
B
Not private jet.
A
Yeah, implied.
B
Yeah, please.
A
I'm not buying a prop plane, jet.
B
And Cirrus 2 seater.
A
It's a lot of check out my cirrus. And I would figure out how to make surfing a more accessible. Which the jet's going to help with part of my life. Just put the surfboard on the jet and go. We should just look at the surfer.
B
You're like, where are there going to be waves in two days? I can fly there now, acclimate for a day, you know, stay in the four Seasons wherever you want to be. Like, boom.
A
But I do think I would continue to work. Would I quit my job? I don't know the answer to that. But I do think I would continue to work. And I have seen what happens to people when they retire. Literally. Like family members in laws. Retiring sounds great and is awful. It is bad for you.
B
They act overnight.
A
Yes. Physically and mentally bad for you.
B
I agree.
A
So I would find some way. I don't want. I'm not a glutton. I do like things. Not. Not material things. I do, like, experiences. And. And, I mean, I. I'm not gonna lie. I rode on a private jet this weekend, and it was awesome.
B
Did you pay for it? No. That's how you ride on a private jet. That's exactly how you.
A
I hit you right. On a private.
B
Good for you.
A
I literally hitched a ride back from Texas. Okay. Ohio State game.
B
Oh, okay. Were you sad about the result? Yeah. Okay.
A
But the entire plane was. We were all Longhorn fans.
B
Okay.
A
But I don't even remember what I was talking about.
B
That's a great airport.
A
Is it?
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah. I was in and out of it.
B
Yeah.
A
Don't remember enjoying it, but sure. The.
B
Whose plane was it?
A
It's a friend.
B
I want friends with private jets. I know one person with a private jet, and I can't call and be like, hey, you know, what are you doing?
A
What was I talking about? Oh, I don't. I enjoyed that experience. I don't know how I got into this. I don't have a lot of material items I think that I would buy. I want to continue working. I know what I was saying. I'm not a gluttony. I do have friends that are gluttons. Meaning drinking, eating, experience. Like, just let the good times continue to roll. I'm not like that. Like, I need. I don't know if I need hardship, but good things. When I lived in Southern California and you lived in Southern California for a while, I went to Pepperdine. I had this phenomenon experience where I'm like, it's a beautiful day every day.
B
Oh, yeah. Especially at Pepperdine.
A
Like, spoils kids. And this is maybe the definition of spoiled. If every day's a sunny day, they stop being sunny days.
B
Yeah.
A
And so I like seasons. I even like rainy days, and they give context and meaning to sunny days.
B
And there's something beautiful about the different seasons.
A
Yes.
B
Like, it's hard for me to say, like, I love early fall, although I do. But I also love spring.
A
But you love early fall because it's a break from the summer.
B
I love winter because I get to go snowboarding every day.
A
Correct. So my point is, I wouldn't want to retire and just become a glutton and live a life of luxury. Because I actually think that life of luxury would stop being luxurious. It would stop being fun.
B
But I would love a life of comfort.
A
Okay. Yes.
B
You know, silky linens. The massage therapist on call that I would love.
A
I just want my hardships to be a choice.
B
Of course. Absolutely.
A
You want. Want to work hard. Workout class.
B
I think you should always be in a state of overcoming. Overcoming some discomfort and living in some discomfort. Having said that, I love comfortable sheets.
A
Yes.
B
And a good, nice, not too firm mattress that's just a little bit squishy in all the right places. Like, I.
A
The more I appreciate comfort. I'm a big cowboy boot guy, right?
B
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
A
Not the most comfortable footwear. Everybody says, oh, it fits perfect. Yeah, great. It does. I've got every kind of years.
B
It seems like you have to break them in.
A
I've had every kind. I've had them for a long time. I just got myself a pair of these slip on Cole Hans, and they are the most comfortable thing that I have ever worn. And I appreciate that.
B
Yeah, absolutely. But see, that's the thing. Like, I don't think you should retire. I think you should keep pushing the boundaries in everything. And I think that's what Xi Jinping and Putin were talking about when they're talking about transplants, because they're like, let's keep pushing the boundaries. Let's get a new liver. Oh, my God. Wouldn't we look amazing if we each had a new liver?
A
That's basically the way they were talking to each other.
B
I think I could start drinking again if I have no liver.
A
Oh, my God. I just got virgin blood and it's been injected into me. And you should see, I've dropped 20 years. Get out of here, G. No, I'm serious. You should try it, Vlad.
B
She has to be a 12 year old, though. Yeah. Just on the precipice. I got Lolita blood. It's amazing. So gross. But it's, you know, that's the thing, like, the human condition and human behavior doesn't really change based on the groups and geography, like, or time. That's one thing you appreciate is you live a few decade, decades. You go, you travel places, you see your family. Because, like, when we're kids, you know, especially, like, if your family's loud, like, you're kind of embarrassed of your family, and then you get to meet other people's families, and you realize, like, other people's families are loud, like, other people are embarrassed of their families. And then you realize, like, there's so much commonality and that's what I love. Like, there's really, like, people are jerks everywhere. Like, people have borderline personality disorder everywhere. But people also have kids and they're exhausted and they want to work hard and push the boundaries. And I think these two just go to show that inside each and every one of us is a middle aged woman who just wants to be hot.
A
Even inside of a maniacal dictator killing people in Ukraine. In the end, he really just wants to be young.
B
He's scooping out livers and kidneys from those poor Ukrainian kids.
A
He really just wants to drop a few pounds and get his skin cleared up.
B
Yeah, he like Putin has body dysmorphic disorder.
A
Well, he's pretty proud. He's not afraid to walk around without a shirt on.
B
Yeah, but I mean, behind that naked torso was like some liposuction. A lot of supplements.
A
Oh, yeah, I buy the supplements, man.
B
That vein, are you kidding me?
A
Vlad likes creative.
B
He has an esthetician. He's got a facialist. He's got, he's got all that stuff. He's got vibrating masks. Lord only knows. He's probably had Ukrainian slaves invent stuff.
A
Oh, exactly. I've got to get the red light mask. You were just telling me about red light therapy. So now I'm picturing Vladimir Putin in a red light mask.
B
Yeah, he's probably got, you know, he's probably got a red light toilet that he travels with. Like, that's why he travels with.
A
He's got a beautiful rear end.
B
Youthful.
A
He's got the rear end of a.
B
12 year old in his freezer.
A
All right, on that note, I've got to go see the boss.
B
You really do like. It is time. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you for doing the crime and making the time.
A
I loved it as always.
B
Appreciate it.
A
And I love the drink. Wonderful Will.

Episode: Happy Hour: Will Cain, Private Jets, & Winning The Lotto
Date: September 5, 2025
Host: Kennedy
Guest: Will Cain
In this lively "Happy Hour" episode, Kennedy welcomes Will Cain for a fun, candid conversation that meanders through cocktails, surfing, travel, the lottery, and the allure—and perils—of comfort and luxury. Framed through their mutual value of freedom and humor, the episode delves into how personal happiness, ambition, and the pursuit of “the good life” are shaped by choices, hardship, and self-awareness.
The episode opens with Kennedy mixing a custom drink dubbed the “Wonderful Will”: a mix of Mr. Wonderful’s tequila, Grapefruit LaCroix, citrus juices, orange liqueur, and Splenda.
Both hosts share playful banter about cocktail choices, sugar substitutes, and their preferred drink experiences.
Notable quote:
Will shares his recent surfing experiences, including booking a day at a Waco, Texas wave pool through a charity auction for the Adaptive Training Foundation—which supports adaptive athletes and veterans.
The hosts discuss what surfing means for their self-image, the learning curve, and the joy found in being unapologetically “not good.”
They swap stories of surf spots (Hawaii, Costa Rica, Fiji, El Salvador, Mexico) and the different challenges and vibes, especially between natural and man-made waves.
Memorable exchanges:
Will describes surfing in El Salvador, noting the perceived sketchiness and water pollution relative to Mexico and Hawaii.
He recounts paddling out amid lots of trash and the discomfort of warm, dirty water.
Notable dialogue:
The conversation pivots to the hypothetical of winning the Powerball and the etiquette around disclosure.
Both muse on whether they’d continue working, with Will emphasizing the risks of retiring and losing purpose. They note the ease of "ghosting" people in the digital age should one come into fortune.
Notable quotes:
Will recalls recently hitching a ride on a friend’s private jet, noting such luxury is best enjoyed when not footing the bill.
The hosts laugh about “friends with jets” and how a jet would make surf-travel dreams a reality, but both are aware of their own limits regarding materialism and extravagance.
Noteworthy moment:
Will and Kennedy reflect on the importance of hardship, seasons, and contrast in life. Both admit that endless comfort can dull appreciation for good things.
The value of pushing oneself, especially after observing family and friends who struggled with retirement.
Memorable exchange:
The episode takes a comedic detour as Kennedy and Will satirize Putin and Xi Jinping's rumored organ transplants and quest for eternal youth, riffing on global aristocracy and universal vanity.
They connect the dots between human sameness, regardless of culture, status, or geography.
Standout banter:
This episode is light-hearted, self-aware, and humorously irreverent—balancing light barroom banter with genuine reflections on privilege, persistence, and the human condition. Both Kennedy and Will display wit, candor, and self-deprecation, making for a conversation that’s accessible and relatable despite the larger-than-life topics of jets, lotteries, and global affairs.
This episode offers a spirited, insightful exploration of aspiration, comfort, and freedom, combining humor, personal storytelling, and cultural critique. Whether you’re interested in surf culture, winning the lottery, or simply looking for laughs about dictators with youth obsessions, Kennedy and Will Cain provide an entertaining escape infused with wit and honesty.
