11:06 am
united kingdom. they realized nobody could pronounce the baby's name correctly and every time said someone the baby's name the mom would cringe. parents agonize a lot more about names than they did in the mid '80s. why did your mother and father name you regis? >> because he went to regis high school. here in new york city. >> i didn't know that. >> and he had -- well, i guess i can tell you, because he's not listening. >> probably from heaven. >> yeah. he got involved yeah. with a -- i think it was a brother. who worked there. you know. >> a franciscan. >> yeah. >> father? >> right. and so they threw him out of school. and he was very, very upset about that. and that's why he named me regis. i think that's it. >> oh, my gosh. >> i don't know why -- >> it means king in latin or something. >> absolutely. >> so it was -- >> should be treated like that
11:07 am
how cody got his. you know what? when i was five months pregnant, it was thanksgiving and frank and i had not decided on a name yet. we knew it was going to be a boy. i was making stuffing in the kitchen with my mom and my dad and my brother. and frank watching a football game, all of a sudden cody risen, great player from the cleveland browns, made some sort of a play, and frank goes, "how about cody!" and i went, i love it. this is the weirdest, weirdest thing. we didn't know at the time that cody -- cody who was born on march 22nd, that's cody risen's birthday. and he retired in 1989, and i think it might have been on his same birthday. i'm not sure about that. but then it gets weirder. i am on a plane going out to colorado, right? cody is about 3. >> yeah. >> and i meet somebody, and she comes up to me and she goes, hi,
11:08 am
wife. so his wife named cody -- cathy. it gets crazy. and this is about the time you sort of want this music that we have cued up. ? >> thank you! i go -- we live in colorado. power is out at our house there. that's the night we make cassidy! >> do we have to hear this? ? >> well, that's the "psycho" music. that's not good. and we name her cassidy, because she's made in colorado. get what the daughter's of the risen's is. cassidy. >> it's a weird morning. >> and you used to say to me, cody and cassidy. you used to say it's a freakin' wild west show. remember? do you remember anything? >> no. >> i like it better this way. can't remember anything. >> me either, reg.
11:09 am
you are always dressed beautifully. and we were wondering, is there -- is there a difference in the way you get treated? does a man get treated differently if he's in a fantastic coat like this, or -- where's my mr. cargo pants? where did he go? >> right here. >> would you mind coming over here? tell me your name, please. >> franco. franco, stand over here so everybody can see you. do you think somebody is going to treat r franco? what do you think? >> i hope not! >> remember when celebrity chef jeffrey zacarin is always in a suit and he says if everyone is casual, he's informal. if everyone is in semi formal, he's very informal. and a lot of women can't stand these cargo pants. have you ever experienced that? >> not really. >> really? [ laughter ] >> the ladies like you, huh?
11:10 am
>> those pants, though, right? they're nice and short. >> oh, the content of the pants! and what do you have in all those pockets? >> wallet. gloves to work. >> oh, kinky. middle of summer, what are you doing with gloves? >> what else? >> yeah, you better be careful. >> headphones. holy, cow. you've got everything. >> so there is a reason for cargo pants, on a guy that has a body for them. but when people don't have a great -- a franco body. >> yeah, he's well-built, this kid right here. >> they don't have the content to put in the pants. thank you, i'll take that. thank you very much. anyway. dustin hoffman -- was that you? were you just going -- >> no! >> that was you. you're the only person sitting next to me. >> i've got a heavy nose! believe me alone. >> dustin hoffman -- >> yeah, dustin.

11:12 am
that's a good thing. wow. a little damage done there, i guess. but you know, this time of year, we want everybody to know, no matter what, don't leave pets or children in the car in summertime. whether it's running or not, you know? >> well, if they're going to be out of the car for two or three hours, the dog could die in the car. >> yes, that's the point. you never leave children and animals in there. did you ever do that? crazy with your kids? >> sometimes you can't take dogs into a store. >> so you take t >> why are we arguing about this! >> i don't know. >> i'm mad. >> since we're shouting out, is there i a guy in the image department that needs help in the image department. maybe in need of a new job. needs a new look, basically. we want you to call into us. go to our -- stay with us. of i just need the -- go to our klg and hoda.com, okay?
