Depends on the jurisdiction. Some states recognise "nuncupative" and "holographic" wills.
Other jurisdictions recognise any "speech" that details disposal of assets upon death as a will.
There is no jurisdiction in which the facts of this situation would constitute a binding will.
The circumstances in which a will can be formed orally are death-bed situations where formation of a proper will are impractical.
