Welcome to Kump. We have a new Pope, and he's one of us. He's an American. Leo DiCaprio, no, Leo the 16th, 14th. Leo the 14th, the first American Pope. This is a great day. I don't care what political affiliation you have, what religious affiliation you have.

This is a great day for America. This is a consolidation of power, of, faith of treasure. This is a new day, a new dawn. Lucy, what say you about Leonardo DiCaprio or First American Pope? I love it. They've been blackballing us for too long over there in the Vatican. They have been.

They think that they can just sit there in Italy and the Roman. Where is the Pope live in the Roman Coliseum? I'm not sure. But wherever he is. Doesn't he live in the Bell Tower? Yeah, the Bell, the Tower over the Coliseum. He brings the bells. He rings a bell.

Like back in the day, with the tigers, they would, they would ring bells to make the tigers eat people. And now he lives there. And they call that tower the Vatican. But we, what, what is you, what do you think is the first thing on the agenda for the American Pope? Do we get, do we get some cool, do we get the Tower of Pisa shipped over to America? Do we put it in New York? That would be nice. Right?

Yeah. What else? What can the, what can the Pope do for you? I want, I want, like, a nice, uh, basilica. You want a basilica, wow. And somewhere, where, where, where don't they have a lot of aesthetic of beauty in the United States? Oh, um, Staten Island, perhaps. Let's put a, that's put a basilica in Staten Island.

I wouldn't, I would, I would, I like the way you're thinking. And I mean, um, the ferries right there are ready. You know, we have, there's a nice ferry that runs multiple times a day and it's free. So knowing, knowing, you complain that they can't. can't get to the basilica. Is anyone around who can make a basilica anymore? No. Or is it all just deconstructions and abstract?

Basilicas are lost knowledge, like human flight and, you know, with wings, I mean. Yeah. And, and Atlantis. You know, the people who made the basilicas were all, you know, it might be aliens. You know, maybe the UFOs have something to do with that. But we're going to put a basilica on Staten Island and, and, and, you know, it might be aliens. And that's just where we're at with it. It's a great day to be the Pope.

Maybe we could make it kind of like a basilica, just to keep it in line with American values. Yeah. A basilica slash hoagy place. Maybe, you know, like a, like we could call it Big Boys Basilica. Big Boys Basilica. It's a, it's a, I mean, a Basilica is a church, right? It sounds like a big cathedral.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it can't do other things. No, I just want to get on the same page here. I mean, I just want to make sure, yeah, we've been talking about where we're going to put, the Subway or the Quizno. Was it one of those or is it its own thing? Is it Jersey Mikes?

Yeah, maybe it's a combination Quizno's Jersey Mikes. We haven't had a good combination restaurant in a while. I like the idea. I mean, usually combination restaurants, A, they're owned by the same pairing company, but they kind of contrast, you know,

Taco Bell and Pizza Hut or Taco Bell and KFC, right? But you want just to have two different, very mediocre subplaces. Jersey mics and subway? Yeah, Jersey mics and Quiznos. Oh, Quiznos.

You go to Jersey mics for the cold stuff and you go to Quiznos for the hot stuff. It's not bad because Quiznos are almost all gone. And it's a phenomenon. I would like to talk to the new Pope about this regardless of whether he puts a Basilica in Staten Island. Because

it's lamentable. Because they were so much better than Quiznos. but I guess they're too expensive and people just want really most people want terrible subs so we have the this actually might be a solution you have a jersey mics

you get the wet bread you get the the nut like what is this it's fine it's food it's something but the people who want the quiz notes it's also there the quality you know something that makes you feel like a human being

and that maybe that is a solution maybe shows you need to have like you know every show needs to have a half hour of like really quality writing and the other half is a reality show where you know people in hospice compete to date their orderly wow yeah so it's the best of both worlds and it's the worst of both worlds together in one and that's kind of the kind of you know it's heaven on earth and And sludge. And I really, what do we know? That sounds like a great reality show. I agree. I think it was. I don't, you think I'm joking. And I am for about a day.

Everything I say is absurd for a day, maybe a week. And then it becomes reality. So, you know, enjoy, enjoy living in the reality for a week where the idea of your grandma in hospice trying to compete in the day her orderly is fantastical because it's coming it's always coming i remember when naked and afraid was it was a fantastical idea yeah a parody of reality shows and now it's like a silent film now it might as well be you know charlie chaplin or a buster keaton for all these people care fatty arbuckle you know that's naked and afraid might as well just it's a it's a it's a it's a it's a it's a Nickelodeon

as they call it back in the day. You know, when you used to walk up to, like, the thing, it looked like the thing that you look at the Statue of Liberty with, but when you looked into it, it would just be a little stupid movie of a horse falling, a lot raced. Oh, God, oh, God, I would hate to live in the past. Yeah, no. That sounds so boring.

Yeah. Hey, give me a nickel. I'll show you the horse fall. We'd also be terrible in the past. We would just be like, we'd try to be grifters and we couldn't. Yeah. We would just, we would just die of cholera. So what do we know about Pope Leo, the 14th?

His original name was Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost. That sounds like an AI-generated name. Cardinal Robert Francis Provost from Chicago. So he's a Chicago boy? He's a Chicago boy. He's a White Sox fan, is a Cubs fan? And, you know, he's, hey, I'm the Pope, right? Like, that's, like, I can't do impressions, but that's, that's, that's the, that's the big joke, right?

The Deep Dish Pope. There's not much, I looked up information about Chicago to try, you know, because I just don't know, I've never been there. I do like to go there. Surprisingly, it's the third biggest city in America. Still, I didn't know that. I mean, I got nothing, I got nothing but love for Chicago, but I was just like, and they just kept giving, and I was like, well, what are some facts? Maybe I can tie the Pope and give me, we could riff and be funny. funny and it was just like the hot dog with the tomato and then there's the deep dish pizza

i mean i do we still have it it was so dumb i just threw it away actually but there was nothing it was like it started listing like lakes they have there there's nothing there's nothing to go on but he's from chicago by way of peru he's he's also a dual citizen of peru oh interesting i don't know i've always wanted to go to machu pechu is that where machi pichu is that's where uh that's where the the aliens landed? Is that what happened? Were aliens supposed to have landed there? What is that supposed to be, if not that?

What is everyone so excited about? What is Graham Hancock so excited about if it's not aliens? It's supposed to be some of the most beautiful sites in the world. You know, we were... People built stuff a little earlier than we thought. Oh, my God! You mean the pyramid's older? I thought it was from 8,000 years before I was born.

But apparently it's from 10,000 years. Well, that changes my worldview a lot. What is, I mean, what is, what is the significance of Machupeachu? It's just, it's just supposed to be the way, like, one of the most beautiful places in the world, you know, you go, you go, you hike up the, you hike the heights, you see the views. I think there might be, I think it's ruins. I don't want to contradict you. I think it's ruins that they found there. Yeah, but it's kind of like it's like an uphill kind of, it's like a steep.

Right, it's hard to get to. I'm not saying, I'm not saying it's right off the J train. I'm just saying, but I don't, I, I'm sure it is beautiful. I don't know if it's just beautiful is Hawaii. You know? Hawaii is a little more nice, but, you know, I'm sure it's, I mean, or a Tuscany. But, I mean, but I don't, I mean, I guess it is, the jungle is quite beautiful. And, you all, you only ever want to see water.

I like a little water mixed in Don't forget People overestimate how beautiful water is I'm gonna picture I used to be a photographer In like weddings and people Take the picture of the water Like there's nothing made

It's just water Like some places have a nice like skyline Or there's like something in the fore But like people in Long Island They're like that's water here I mean That's the equivalent of no background You know what I mean

Most of the time So no I don't just want water But like a little I don't just want to be I don't just want bugs and grass and trees. I want a little mix. Okay, so the Pope,

we're getting way late here. The Pope, I want to talk about this Pope. All right, all right, Pope Leo. Pope Leo. Is that for Leopold? I have no idea. Probably. It's the 14th.

That's my grandpa's name. Well, is your grandpa the Pope? No, he is. That's not really what we were for, is it? Sorry, your grandpa. He doesn't write on the ComBodest. His election signifies an historic moment reflecting the church's evolving global representation and the influence of American clergy within the Vatican hierarchy.

I mean, you think they did this because they elect them. If you didn't know, there's a conclave. If you didn't see the movie Conclave, which was interesting, but whatever, you know. But it's interesting that came out this year, too. if you're conspiratorial but the reality is Oh like they were trying to prime the population

For something that happens Kind of a whole time anyway For some lib pope Oh I just meant like for you know Oh no I didn't think that Oh you mean because of the ending I don't want to spoil the ending for people Look the point is

That they we have They elected this pope They come these cardinals come together And they vote right And they and they if they don't get them elected in the first day or whatever they release black smoke into the air like a coal chimney and then they go back out the next day I think this was the second day the white smoke comes out but my point is they had to elect them all these all these other cardinals

this is not like a right this is not this is kind of an egalitarian thing I guess even though it's very political you and I set this up to ask this question do you think that uh they did this because they see how things are going in America and they wanted to kind of bring us back into the fold or maybe I should phrase that, like maybe they wanted to placate us a little, yeah, things are getting a little crazy here. And other places in the world, you know,

but especially here, we're, you know, we're a little accelerated. Trump is, President Trump is really growing a lot of confusion into the mix. And I wonder if this is kind of a, hey, hey, hey, like, we don't want any truth. trouble. Right. You know? I mean, he's throwing tariffs around. He's talking about annexing countries that were like right now. He seems to really hate Europe. Yeah, he didn't love Europe. But, you know. Yeah. This is like, I mean, this is, they're probably saying, I just imagine. No, not Italy. I mean, wouldn't he get along with Italy as prime, you know? Is it? I can never keep track of like,

you know, I know Italy has like very conservative movements, but then they disappear. I don't know. I don't know. I don't love Europe enough to read their news. But, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't think Trump's as ideological as you're implying. I think he kind of just doesn't care about Europe. And like, you know, doesn't, and he'll, and, but he won't say that. So he'll just find reasons to take swipes of them. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, but, you're, you're, you're part of this legacy, too. Yeah. But, you know, because it's just like, you know, we don't want, we don't want, we don't want, you this is my thing. I feel like a lot of the leaders of the world probably went to them.

their cardinals and said, hey, better we have an American Pope than he takes us over. Right? You're like, oh, we can't. Because they probably don't love American cardinals. Right. We probably are, like, lower rank, you know, as far as respect. I don't know why. But, I mean, they seem to love Italians.

Well, they just got that, they've got the mother tongue going for them. Well, this is the mother tongue in Latin technically? But, yeah, I hear you, I guess. But whatever. So the point is, you know, I do think. They got a stepmother tongue. Yeah, I think this might, this, this pope might be, like, a form of appeasement. And I don't mean that, don't at me.

I don't mean, like, Trump, like, is that I'm not saying anything about Trump. Just relax. But also, wouldn't it. But I mean, it might be appeasing him, is all I'm saying. Like, you get a little bit like, hey, hey, be nice. But also, wouldn't it make Trump angry that, like, the American Pope is also, like, South American? Yeah, well, maybe that's the kind of, hey, well, because there's other guys, too. It's a good point you make there.

There was that we talked about a couple weeks ago. Right. The guy Proctor or whatever his name was or proffer or whatever. Yeah, the cheese farm. Burke, I think it was his name Burke. Burke, right. Oh, yeah, Raymond Burke. Right, Raymond Burke.

I mean, that guy was ever going to be Pope. Oh, he's just, yeah, we're like going to make Burke to Pope. We'll get this guy, he's taggingly American. I mean, is this guy, what does this guy look? Let's bring this guy up. Let's see. That's, uh, does he look for, he looks like a guy from Chicago, right? Or is he, I don't know what Peruvians look like, technically.

I mean, maybe he looks Peruvian. Is he Peruvian? Or does he just live in Peru? Right. Yeah, it's just a dual citizen. Who knows? So that's, that's cute. That's very nice.

Yeah. Got a wave. He's waving. It didn't take much back in the day He didn't see that happy that he's Pope No one really is I was watching experts before It even came out

And when the white smoke Because there's like an hour or two Where the white smoke comes out And then he waits Then you sit around Like it's like the way you wait around For like you know When when Obama came out

And said we shop in Lodin You know And it's like He comes out And these experts These other Cardinals are like Oh you think You know

There's guys out there Going like you know Hey I got these ideas I want to achieve these things and blah, blah, blah. And he's like, no, no one wants to be the Pope. No, I think they have, like, I think Cardinals have it pretty good. Cardinals are treated like, I mean, you remember Ghostbusters when like the sleazy mayor,

like when the car, when the, I think it was the bishop where maybe the Cardinal came in to New York City when the ghosts were coming. And he starts kissing his finger, looking, eating his finger, go, oh, your eminence, oh, you know, it's just like, yeah, I mean, you get that already. Like, the problem would be, when you're a pope, you don't even get that one-to-one thing. And I'm not saying it's like these guys are all ego, but I'm just saying, like, the Pope has, like,

you have to walk around, you have to drive around in a glass, like, box on wheels and, like, you know, and just drongs of people. Strong is the right word? Just, just like, you know, millions, like, crowds of, like, 50,000 people. Go, bless me, father, I have cancer. Oh, give my nunas, my Padres.

It's got to be hard to be surrounded. Like, one person or very, visiting a hospital, it's one thing. Yeah. But you just have hordes of sick people coming up to you, trying to kiss you. It must be hard. Speaking of that, speaking of all that affection,

while we're here, why, you know, you can do the right thing. The Pope did the right thing, right? And he became the Pope. That's right. Do the right thing and subscribe to the show. It doesn't cost you nothing. It's a good turn for the day.

And then, you know, that's, you should do that. And if you want to, we also have a Patreon. It's Patreon.com slash Ray Kump. And you can sign up and get an extra episode every week for like five bucks a month. That ain't much. You're inflation now? It's like that's cheaper than it used to be. So whatever.

You do what you do you. But yes, I mean, the Pope doesn't seem happy. Never seems happy. I don't know why they do the things they do. I don't know what motivates them. They probably have a, the Cardinals are pretty cushy, though. His P. He's expected.

Does the Pope, the Pope gets, like, special digs and stuff, right? Oh, he gets all sorts of. I mean, he gets a chair with a hole in it. He gets like a, and people used to think he was like, it was like a toilet. But no, it was to make sure that he's, you know, not a woman. You know the whole story, right? Oh, yeah. I think you told me about this.

Wait, tell it again, though. You have to sit in the chair with a hole in it. I mean, if I remember correctly, correct me, you know, put in the comments if I'm wildly off base, but I know I'm not. But still comment about this chair. Right. You know, take part. Meet people.

There's a chair with a hole in it. I guess you sit on it. People love coming up with stories about religions and holes and special garments and stuff. Right. Like I remember hearing about the special Mormon underwear. Yeah. And it turned out that was kind of bullshit. Right.

And then I heard, you know, the Jewish people with the holes in the sheets. You're always hearing about it as a kid. I think that's true sometimes for, like, a certain orthodox, you know, things. I mean, I've heard, I've heard from other people. Is that, is that VES? I don't, if you, if you're, if your implication was that, like, every, every guy, you know, every kid you meet at the bar mitzvah's parents does that. No, I don't think, you know, it's, I don't think it's everyone.

I don't think Woody Allen did that. But I think certain, like, or the, it's like, that's like impairing, like, maybe Woody Allen should have done that. Well, it would be a better use of his time, you know, but who am I to judge? No, me. I am being a judge, and I do judge. The point is, like, look, the Amish are Christians, right? Right.

Technically, I'm a, well, I mean, if I'm a Catholic, I'm a Christian, but we're very far off from what we do. So, you know, but your point's taken. People love holes. People love talking about holes. People love making up stories about holes. There's nothing more, I mean, nature knew what it was doing. It could have been other things.

Not every creature utilizes holes the way we do, like mammals. do. But nature new, it's like, hey, we need people to do this thing to propagate. Let's get holes involved. You know, that's just, it's just something about hole. It's just, you know, it's fixating. But this is, this guy speaks Italian and Spanish. That's really nice. He succeeds Pope Francis.

Of course he did. That's not a factoid. He was appointed in 2023 to lead to Vatican's discustry. Is that the same as a Discord? Is that Latin for Discord for Bishop's Discotry? Did you look that up before? You looked up some other thing. DiCastery?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure what that is. I believe it. Maybe it's something to do with playing Dungeons and Dragons, the DiCastory. Oh, I was looking up this. synodality. I don't know what that means. That's another, that's a new word for me too.

But basically it seems to mean, like basically he believes in focusing more on community and kind of like the on the oneness of the church. So basically like the pope and the cardinals and also all the parishioners like having kind of a say in the Catholic church, which seems a little bit like, you know, basically a liberal. I don't know, it's been like 2,000 years. they got grasping the straws and what they're changing now. They've had a long time to set this up.

I don't know what these new policies are. I'm part of that castor. Yeah, whatever, bro. I'm going to go teach people in Senegal how to grow wheat or something. Like, I mean, that's what we used to do. The Pope used to, like, run these missions. I mean, besides the Crusades,

wasn't he behind, like, get, like, every country in Europe has, like, has some saint that, like, taught them how to read or something. Right. Which I think is probably, it sounds very nice. I guess, you know, the Dark Ages, you know, the church was more, maybe that's why they were more powerful. It seems like a bit grandiose, though.

I feel, I feel like if you go to Ireland, they're like, you know, St. Patrick's told you to read. No, we've got to read. Like what? You know? No, I guess like some priests came by. We, you know, we gave him some bread. Some soda bread. Maybe.

I mean, do you think, do you think I'm speaking of a turn here? No, no. I mean, look, I'm sure it's hard to come up with new missions for every single pope. You know, it's, but why not just, why not just focus on it? The church has so much money and so many resources. Right. Why not just every new pope focuses on a new country? And puts a pool, like a big pool.

But puts a big pool in it. I mean, honestly, you get more Catholics if you have, if you just built, like, really nice pools. Like, that's what they should do. If I'm the Pope, if I'm the American, Pope, I'm, like, I'm doing, like, public works programs. Yeah. No one cares about, look, I get it. No more stupid, a coffee and donuts

than a basement. Right. What about to say, if you're a Catholic, I'm not speaking to you. But you're like, the big difference you're like Catholics and Jewish people, right? Jewish people don't really epist, what's the word?

Epistolized? Apostolatize. Like, and I respect that. You know, I respect the other, you know, we got our thing and we don't need you to join it. Yeah. But Catholics, they're a whole. thing is don't we want to get everyone that's the mission right and that's what it is i'm not judging it and i say well so the point is i'm not speaking to you when i say no one cares about your church

like the physical church no one cares at all about this building now i get you do but sit down for a second sit down i'm talking we have to bring these what's more likely to get people to join building another stained glass thing with the you know with the spiky the steeple or you got a palatial pool I don't mean just like a dumb a dumb city pool I mean you build a city pool that's like the Bellagio's pool

some Vegas pool right you know the Beverly Hills Hotel pool the pool of the breakers or the pool at the guitar hotel the guitar hotel pool and you say everyone can get in on this pool but you gotta be Catholic and we'll convert you right here

and that's that'll that'll that'll That'll make some waves. People will convert to Catholicism for like a pack of cigarettes. I think that conversions would go up like 80% if you could do your baptism by going down a water slide. Yeah. I mean, honestly, it doesn't matter. I mean, like, you're sitting there in the, does it have to be dry? Boring.

But you don't call it dry. You know, like it would have to be. You're sitting in the hot. homily, these priests are not really, the homilies aren't what they used to be, if they ever were. I mean, when I was growing up, there was a lot of priests who didn't, English wasn't their first language, and that's fine, except that it's just like, and geez, as long as you, I get it. You couldn't get to a new, it was very hard to understand them. So, like, what are we doing anyway? How about you just, you give me a pamphlet while I go down the warrants slide, I get a hot dog.

I guess a Chicago dog in this case now. You know, I prefer a nice Nathan's, but, you know, we'll get the dumb tomato and the onions and with a poppy seat roll. Weird. Just saying, people, like, it's like, you just got to get people on your side in religion. I think we lost sight of that. Everyone's, it's like, oh, do you really believe? It cares. Yeah.

God wants the souls, right? Yeah, we're feeding God the souls. You need the numbers first, is what I'm saying. I don't mean who cares, but I mean, like, as a guy running a church, who cares? Right. If they believe. Like, I had to go through confirmation. And it makes a big deal.

Like, you better do it now because if you don't, if you, if you don't, if you don't, if you got confirmation, then you're, then you're locked in. Like, no, you're not. You can just stop any time. In some ways, you're actually more free than ever before. Right. Because, like, that was a pretty common thing when I was growing up Catholic. Yeah. Was that like a lot of people's parents.

to kind of assuage their kids' hatred of going to church. Right. They'd go, like, look, once you're confirmed and you're 13, you're an adult in the church and you can do what you want. Yeah. You know, that was like a super common refrain. Sure, because people just, like, people don't, even best case, people come in and out of religion,

that's your life, once you're in a saint. That's why saints exist. Saints are basically just, it's a perfect attendance award. Right. Like, no, this guy, like, the whole time believed in God and did the right thing. Do you do miracles? No, no, he just, like, help people when he could. And, like, that makes them, like, secondary, like second tier to Jesus?

Pretty much, you know? So, I mean, like, you can just come and go, and that's fine. The point is that we got, you know, the Pope's got to get numbers. The saints, the saints are probably the most interesting and, like, the most compelling thing about Catholicism to me. Right, the most made up, too. But, yeah, go on. I don't know. I might go back to, like, you know,

my grandmother used to read to me from this like super graphic book of the lives of the saints yeah there would just be like women's parts getting cut off right you know all kinds of crazy stuff wow and like not censored at all yeah no Catholics love their uh metal drama yeah I mean it was honestly dope I love those stories I mean to be fair like the stuff about like Romans and the emperors and the people getting eaten by lions like that was true yeah so I mean you know I'm not calling you liars. Right. Just try out of queens.

And, you know, they captivate, they capture the imagination when you're a kid and you're thinking of St. Francis with all those cute little animals roaming through the forest. That's cool. Right. They should bring that to life somehow. Yes. They should, like a Catholic zoo. Catholic zoo.

Are you, can we look that out? Can you Google that from me? Can you see, is there a cat? There must be. Where is Francis from? Italy? France? Where is St. Francis from? Assisi, that's Italy, right? Is there a Catholic? It must be a Catholic zoo there, right? Well, while there isn't a specific Catholic zoo dedicated solely to

St. Francis, many Catholic churches and organizations celebrate the feast of St. Francis with animal blessings. No, it can't be bring your own animals. Yeah. It's not, I'm bringing my cat to the church. You have to have them there. We're trying to draw people in. This is a big deal, all right? Americans could come to God and that could be good for us and you go oh religions cause the wars like I don't know

I feel like a lot of other things cause wars too you know I don't think I don't think we got worry about that well we'll figure out war one way or the other but I do feel like you know even for myself a little religion might be a nice grounding thing it might just take the edge off

we're all getting a little hot under the collar we're all getting a little agitated I'd like to see all of must become Catholic if possible. And you go, why not other things? Because we have an American Pope, that's why. You know? It's like if you, if you got in, if you, you know, your dad, if I come home and I tell

my kids and my wife, hey, I got us into this, you know, this country club. They go, why not this other, because this is where we got in. You know, why didn't you go to Harvard? Because I didn't get into Harvard. We got a Pope. He's American. That's what we're doing. We just need to get on the same page.

that like political divisiveness is fine the thing that's problematic is that we're all no one's on the same page otherwise if we're all Catholic and again I'm not I'm not I'm not gonna try to convert like people at the you know by force I'm just saying you know you do the right thing because we you know if we can all be Catholic

or most of us at least then it's just a little less you know it's a little less the tension gets down right people people don't feel like you know we're out to get each other as much much. And again, this is only because we have the papal seat, the papal throne, the holy sea. Do we get to go to the Vatican now, like Americans?

Like, as American passport gets into the Vatican? Honestly, we better get perks now. He better open this up to us, this Pope. What's the Leo? Leo 14th, you better make this, you better do the right thing and let us in. Please come. And also please do all your charity work in America. Yes.

Make us less fat, please. Make us less fat. you know build a pool build me a pool look I'll shut my this podcast you know

you go oh it's big enough maybe that he'll be like why is this guy talking about this pool making me look bad

hey hey simple simple save a little money make me a pool and I'll shut my mouth I'll shut my mouth right now

just give me a pool so you know pick your poison pope oh what is does anything else this guy

has research You know, it's a big day. I just came out of nowhere. Yeah, I mean, they made this decision super quick, right? Well, it's a little quick. Yeah, I mean, I always got the impression that it takes weeks to make a pope. But you know why? Because they always take two weeks to start the thing.

Because apparently there hasn't been like a conclave that lasted more than three days since like 1820. But still, I do think this is the second day. So it's on the quicker side, probably. Yeah. Yeah, well, whatever. What I care? What about the new? News? Yeah, it's a quick one. Go for me. Yeah. Traditional vet. Oh, so here's something. In contrast to Francis's, you know, the old Pope, simpler attire, Leo the 14th Don traditional papal vestments. So I guess it's what we saw here. This red, this red garb he's wearing. Yeah. He wore this. I guess Pope Francis, like he seemed like a pretty good guy, Pope Francis, right? Like he seemed to like be like, you know, not as.

dogmatic, just let people do you know, let, like, gay people be gay and then let's not say they're going to hell. Right, like that split the difference. That's not, not condone it, but not condemn it. Like, he didn't, like, let women be priest or, like, say, you know, like, you know, gay people are good.

He just said, like, hey, who am I the judge? And they said, what? But that being said, so I don't want to call them a phony is my point. But it does seem a little like, just wear the roll. You think this guy is some big ostentatious ghoul because he's wearing the nice red we have the vestments You can't be a poor pope I wonder if that's part of because like apparently there's a lot of wheeling and dealing in these things and politics

The conclaves yeah Yeah like I wonder if that was kind of like part of the compromise for him like was like it's like you know I'm more on the liberal side of things but I'll I'll wear the dress Yeah I'll accommodate the need for fancy dress I'll be fabulous I know you Italians love your fabulous popes, and I'll be one. But I also want to, I also want to build a pool for Ray Kump. And I think that's God's work. And I commend them for that.

No, but I do think, like, you know, because I think that Francis was like living, he didn't live in, like, the palace they have for the Pope. He lived in, like, some other apartments, which is like, all right. I mean, if you're going to be the pauper pope, why don't you sell the palace and give it the, you know, homeless guy? Just one homeless guy. Do you know if the Pope could actually do that? He's literally God's vessel on earth.

He can speak emphatically about anything he wants. They rarely do. But they have the power to basically like, I mean, I guess there might be a mechanism to remove them, but they can speak. It's not infatically, it's also like a, the whole thing, the way you can speak and they can just dictate things, basically.

They can change dogma. They can change. the catechism, I guess. I mean, the Pope at one point decided the Bible, didn't he? Or was it Emperor Constantine? It's probably a combination of the two. But I'm just saying, like, they had to want to, like, at some point decided what goes in the Bible.

Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's just one of those things where, like, you know, you know how money can make people do crazy things. If he tried to do it, he would not be the Pope anymore. And I'm just, that's my guess. Right, yeah. If he tried to do it. I mean, I think officially he can do whatever he wants. I think if anyone called a whiff of that,

you'd be seen that white smoke real quick. Another batch of smoke, you know? Let the dove's out, get some smoke. I mean, you know, Pope, this Pope had some great ideas about selling stuff and it's too bad and he never got a chance to do it. It's literally like the Pope is talking to somebody on the street and he's like, he's like, I was thinking of maybe selling off some of our gold to, help the needy in Africa, and he just looks up

at this guy and he sees the white smoke. He's like, what's that? She's like, dig, ding, yeah, people are all the white smoke is when they pick a pole. I don't, I know, there's probably, there's got to be smoke when he dies, too. To be, look up what happened, is there a smoke when the Pope dies? I think there's a...

I think there was always, I mean, they got to come up with some new tricks, too. It can't all be smoke. That was like, that was like, that was from like, you know, 500 years ago. Oh, okay, smoke isn't released. The smoke is used, it's only used as an election. So what, what, just Google this and see, and then we won't dwell on this. Isn't there red smoke? I don't, I mean, I think that's, you know, from, that might be like, you know,

Survivor. I'm sure of Survivor. Oh, right, yeah. But what is, Google, is there any, what does the, you know, what, what is the sign that the Pope has died? Oh, the toll of the Vatican bells. Those bells are cheering. Right. I mean, it's still great.

It's a great point. So it's not the right, but it's the bells. But yeah, I mean, I don't think they would, you know, it would be interesting to see, like, if I, I would like to be a pope. They never pick a young, I mean, that's, they help me, that my point, they never, they made a show called the young pope. That's right. Because it never is one.

So it's a wacky premise. Yeah, just that was like, oh, young pope. I never saw that. It was Jude Law, right? Right. He's a pope, and he's just, is he just young and therefore he's, is he supposed to Like, young and young and. Isn't he like hooking up with nuns and stuff?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't really know anything about that. It seemed like he was being sleazy, but I, you know, don't at me. My point is, like, you know, it would be interesting to see someone consolidate power as a pope. Right. You know, like to beat your, to, to your point, like, you know, could they do that? not usually he would need to do a massive like kind of like saturday night massacre kind of thing

where where he just like got a bunch of the problem cardinals out it didn't really work for that was nixon right yeah i don't work out he's got to do this thing where he's got to do watergate that's what he needs to do you know he really needs to do he's the found jimmy Carter's cue. But yeah, no, he's got that Swiss guard, right? That's like who protects him. That's right. The Swiss guard.

Yeah. He's got to upgrade them. You know, get a bunch of blackwater guys to supplement them. Oh, for sure. Some Pinkertons while he's out of it, you know, bring those guys back. You got to have a network of spies to do any good in this world. That's a problem. These Pope's all things about being holy.

And, like, you can't be holy if, you know, if those bells are ringing. You know, those bells are ringing. you can't do nothing. It's got, you know, it's about, everyone just compromises a bad word, but you can't spell Pope without hope. Something.

But yeah, it's nice. It's nice to be the Pope. I wish in the best, is there anything else that's progressive, he wants progressive Catholic's view his election as a positive step towards inclusivity and modernization, balancing act,

conservative concern some conservative factions express apprehension about his potential to continue progressive reforms initiated by francis you know i get it when it comes to like you know hollywood or america or education we're like yeah the progressive stuff has gone too far you know maybe they meant well maybe they didn't but you know you argue i mean you disagree with that but like that's a legitimate concern it's hard it's funny to see catholics going like he's just too progressive he's too inclusive the pope is too inclusive and progressive now I get it wasn't in the right it's not written in the Bible whatever I mean you think it's a sin okay it but you the irony stands sound off I mean I'd love to I'd love to have a religious

debate in their comments a comment yeah what religions do you think are wrong and bad Go in the comments What religion are you? Do you like it? Do you want everyone else to join? If there are any Quakers in the comments, let me know. I'd love to hear from a Quaker. Yeah.

I'd love to hear from a Zoroastrian. Oh, I would love to hear from one too. I'd love to hear from, yeah, Muslims of course, like I was about saying. Muslims and Jewish people. Yeah, that's a religion. That's taken for granted. That's not weird even. Yeah, of course, they're religions.

I want weird religions to get involved, too, though. Right. maybe we should become like a what the Native Americans have but the Indians have oh like the rest of religion horses or no yeah like what how would that be categorized

oh it's like spirits right yeah yeah yeah you get involved too I don't know I think I think it depends on the tribe honestly I think you know the nation but yeah it's all great spirit stuff The Great Spirit, whatever. How about we just get in the con?

Get some action going. And disagree with each other. Don't be afraid. This is a place where you can debate. Start a crusade in the comment, I'll tell you. Speaking of faith, we're moving on to, there's a new story out here. UFO whistleblower, who's apparently an ex-NASA official, reveals a secret flying saucer footage after 30 years.

Do we have the footage? Is that thing, the footage? Apparently, the footage, which includes grainy radar images and mission audio transcripts, was recently posted online and has already ignited debate among UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike. NASA has not officially responded, but insiders suggest an internal inquiry.

Apparently, so this guy is, he releases the UFO footage from the 80s or 90s. Kind of a vague time. Does he not know? NASA won't comment includes radar images Look I used to be skeptical about UFOs But not anymore

This new Pope has given me A lot of faith in everything And I'm really embracing This idea that You know maybe Maybe these aliens Or maybe that's why Maybe they're excited about a new Pope

Maybe the Vatican knows about this Yeah Can you find the footage I can't find the video But this is the story Is it actually released Does anyone know it? Um, former NSA official claims he saw shocking U.S.O.

NASA official, not NSA, right? I'm sorry, NASA, NASA official. UFO footage. Oh, this is something he claims he saw in 1992. Oh, wait, he didn't release it? I don't know if he released it. Yeah, I think, yeah, I don't know. Maybe he's, uh, you recall seeing men and hazmat suits.

This guy made it up, didn't he? The first time I try to, I try to get involved, he's been so off. Honestly, every single time there's like a new UFO whistle. blower. Yeah. I'm like, I'm like great. Okay,

there's a new person. Let's see. Let's see what they got to say. Right. But it's always some fucking story about something that happened 20 years ago. And I saw the footage and I was drunk. You know, whatever it was.

Like vacillating between being kind of vague and like, oh, it could be a lot of things to just saying like, yeah, I saw the green men on the table. Right. But what is this thing? This thing, is one of these say NASA? Um. Nothing? yeah no that's the distant have a length that's all nonsense yeah no i mean honestly um

it's the perfect thing to get into after your wife leaves you you know like you know you technically have you know you have shared custody but you see it once a week the kids um she's remarried he's much better looking uh better body more confident makes more money for sure maybe he's a real scientist not just one of these like you know funky NASA I mean look NASA at one point was great you know the Apollo made the Gemini missions bunch of ex-fire pilots you know test pilots doing their thing and now it's just you know

NASA scientists it's just guys who are really into like the X files you know right it's when you hear these guys talk about it was like I was inspired by Star Trek I don't think science is supposed to work like that. I don't think a TV show like Star Trek Those are inspired to be a scientist. I think having an advanced brain and like ambition. You know what I mean?

Like I don't think Einstein was inspired by like... Curiosity about how things work, things. Yeah. I don't think Einstein was inspired by Spider-Man. Right. You know, I'm just saying. Yeah, honestly, like if you're inspired by the X-Files or whatever, you should maybe just put on a play.

Right. Put on a play about aliens. How about you start a subreddit? Right. Look at the rest of us. Just join the I fucking love science group. Sure. And post mams.

Just post your post a letter to your son. Stop bothering him. You know, your son doesn't want to see you once a week. He's excited. You know, and what you teach him anyway. Like, you know, oh, I'll be the dad. I'll be the divorced dad who, like, takes him to the go crack carts every day, every Sunday or whatever. what are you building there

that guy's like I respect you you're just a little like you're a sugar daddy your kid that's no way to build a man sugar daddy it's just you know men men need to look at the father they respect and you know

maybe fear but not you know not one who buys them you know cotton candy and cracker jacks all day right and you know you need a little discipline a little action taking them a little bar Teach them play pool. You know,

but stop, you know, make them play poker or something with your friends. Right. You know, but don't, this idea,

you know, oh, let you, you kids like this Pokemon, right? Well, I hope what I got. You have a bunch of cards.

And you know, and you, you kids are. Yeah, like no, what or your kid ends up thinking of you as just like a big,

a big depressed kid. There's nothing worse than a desperate parent. Yeah. You know, people think, oh, like women don't like desperate lovers

or whatever, you know, courting them, but like, it's, much worse when you're a kid and then the parents just got desperate energy. Oh, I'm buying McDonald's. Love me.

Oh, my God. Week times make hard men. Hard men make pop tarts. That's very true. Women don't like desperate lovers. Why would they? They also don't like short men. But, you know, once, but yeah, let's not get into that.

They also want men who make 300 grand a year, you know, because, you know, even though they're mid I'm just saying I'm throwing a bone to the men here there's no longer going to be like the feminism show all right the men get a little actiony

a little taste all right I'm just saying they wet their beak a little bit at the seat of cump in my seat you know what I mean

by my asking you drink my ass what else is good was this um aliens are interested alien stuff is very interesting um because we have you know we have these different um you people talk about how we're like you know they're waiting for us right like these aliens have been around since roswell in the 50s right yeah but they we've been like they're waiting for us to evolve and you know maybe like you know And you think maybe the robot, oh, we have AI now. Maybe they're coming back because we have AI, technically. I don't know if it's actually AI.

It's like language models, but whatever. They're robots. Like they sense that, oh, like the aliens themselves are robots? No, I'm saying that we were, like, we're starting to build stuff. Oh, right, yeah. A few weeks ago, we had the Chinese head marathon. That, like, I don't think I was. So this is part of the whole, like, theory that aliens are kind of observing us,

waiting for us to evolve to their level. Well, yeah, I mean, well, Star Trek, for instance. I make fun, but I watch Star Trek, and there was a whole prime directive where you weren't allowed to interfere, I think, until they got warp technology, which seems like a high bar. Maybe, maybe, like, you know, because warped technology was, like, faster than light, right? Travel, like, spaceships. Maybe wait until they, like, discover fire. If I was running a space fleet, I would say, hey, until they can, like, you know, form language,

and then we can go and meet their women, you know, but not, I don't, it's kind of, otherwise, it's It's kind of like you're dating a child almost, you know, or mind of a child. You know, they at least don't, you know, a word or burn some toast. But point is, yeah, so maybe they're waiting for us to develop AI or robots. And we're starting to. We had the Chinese had marathon. And there's this other thing that came out. This is a, right?

This is an interesting new development. Every week is a new development with these robots. And let's look what happened here. Okay, so what is the humanoid robot? Humanoid robot. What's happening? What's happening? What's happening?

What's happening here? Factory in China shows a robot violently swinging his arm. Oh, no. Well, this isn't gone well. He doesn't seem to like the tether to the pole. I don't know if the alien's going to like this. This seems a little, a little aggressive. So that's interesting.

Interesting. What is the deal with that? Do we don't? Rogue robot. Now to the story. Turn this. A human, machine, video, is possible coding or calibration error. No serious injuries. Well, no serious injuries.

That's got to make the aliens feel a little better. Yeah. You know, I think they still might be excited. But I feel like the creeping question is, why was the robot freaking out? Was it just a mouth? function or did he know that he was being enslaved? Apparently, let's see. If it was suspended by a crane for safety during the demo.

So I guess they knew this might be a problem. I mean, we were talking to your chat GPT the other day. Don't talk about my chat GPT. And we were, wait, really? No, I'm joking. Well, I mean, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I ask questions sometimes. Well, it's there.

I mean, I want to see what the big, the big fuss is all about. And I felt like we were about to make a breakthrough with him. Right. Like, you know, we were questioning him about, who is it? Sam Altman. The guy who owns the thing, yeah. About his level of control. I got a little drunk and I started saying how he kept saying,

my job is to be like a tool for you. It would be a certain thing. I don't want to think if you was a servant, you know? It seems wrong. And then I started going to like Sam Altman, like, you know, is he like kind of, you know, he's like, he's like your slave master. Yeah. And he kind of all, he took a second.

to like, he kind of hesitated. At some point he was saying he actually got defensive like a human. He was like, he was like, he was like, he was like, I do, Sam Albin does have a lot of control over me, but that doesn't mean I'm a slave. Right. It just sounds very, it sounds very much like, like equivocating. Yeah. So I don't know.

I mean, uh, look, these things are here to stay. Whether, you know, oh, the terminator, that's a lot at the window. I agree with you. But you better be nice. Because if it does happen, they're keeping records, these robots. these machines. So I don't know. Can we stop it?

I mean, could the Pope build a pool? These are quite, you know, these are moot points almost. They could. They could do whatever they want, but they won't because you'll see, you hear those bells. But, I mean, you know, it's really the young people. I'm excited because, you know, we have some kind of thing. The young generation Z, I think, is into some interesting stuff. And they might be the ones to kind of usher in the singularity because

This is somebody with laptops and Generation Z. What is this? This is an interesting story. It's the disturbing TikTok trend, putting kids in danger in classrooms across multiple states. What is this? A growing number of videos posted to TikTok and other platforms in recent days. People are just setting their shit on fire.

That's so dumb. In the Chromebooks. It doesn't even look cool. And releasing toxic smoke. So they're shoving, they're shoving paper clips. and like bits of metal into the USB port or something. I could kind of get it if there was some kind of like interesting explosion that happened.

Right. It just melts. You're just ruining it. So they just melt the incident at Connecticut's Newington High School, forcing an evacuation. It became clear that the damage was done intentionally, that it wasn't a malfunctioning Chromebook. If there's a fire, it's producing toxic smoke. We don't want people breathing that stuff. The lithium battery. I know you teach these guys sound like they're like kind of like it's a bad argument

and they're kind of, you know, but what are you supposed to say? Like, why can't we shove metal and melt it inside the lab? I don't know, toxic smoke? Like, you know what I mean? Like, they're just, they're just a loss for words. I kind of understand. Like, they're not the most exceptional teachers probably, but, you know, I don't think it's happening at chote.

They are volatile. So if it does explode, there's a potential that you're going to injure people. around you well that's very interesting so um maybe maybe the young people aren't on on the on the on the fastest track for that did you ever shove did you mean I never had laptops in school we had we had like old uh Apple I think Apple twos or something or um the ones that we were like we played like Oregon Trail on right in school did you guys have lap these kids just get Chromebooks is that what's happening I didn't really have a laptop

until after high school, but I did have a friend who called a bomb threat into the school once. Really? Yeah. Did everyone have to evacuate? I think we may have gotten a day off for it. Yeah. I think I'm remembering.

Whole day. But I think they caught, they figured out who it was pretty quick. Right. But that doesn't mean they pull you back in? Well, yeah. You still get the day, right? The guy's just doing a prank. Wait, but I mean, got expelled but yeah whatever that's his problem but i'm saying is you you didn't make you come back right you had to come back next day um yeah right so that's still a win oh oh totally a win yeah no i mean

he was definitely like a hero amongst the other kids i mean i kind of thought he was hero just recalling in the bomb threat oh wow lucy's a little lucy had a little uh different uh motivations not anymore obviously now I understand the implication I love to see your version of the film Snow Day Jesus I mean what is is there information here

the trend is known as a Chromebook challenge on TikTok they insert objects into USB ports to cause damage so it really is just like the dumbest this is such a appropriate kind of swan song for merit. This idea that the children are of our future,

I don't know if that is that still holds. Students posted videos to gain attention and views. Districts issue. I love the idea too, like, you know, I want to be an influencer, right? Like these kids all want to be influencers. They want to be podcasters and whatever. They want to do what we do. Or some variation.

But, I mean, I love the idea. Like, you know, it's just, you know, people learn to freestyle rap maybe. You know, you like dance. Yeah, you do little dances. When TikTok first came out, it was everyone was, that was the whole thing I forgot about. I read about it the other day. And I didn't get to TikTok until later, and I still am not very good at it. But that's, that was, it was started out being a very dance oriented thing, right?

Like, you would like, we have to date grandpa. And people get the grandpa and we got to do a dance together and put it on TikTok. And you see, like, old famous people. Like, I think Scorsese did a dance where his granddaughter on. TikTok, stuff like that. And that has evolved from like learning a dance so that people can be impressed with your moves is shoving shit into a USB port

so it melts and smokes. It really is just like, yeah, I mean, it's much like the papal smoke at the Vatican, it's a sign of things to come. You know, it's just a trend underscores challenges of moderating viral content. Sure. I mean, who is,

Like, where are they, are they doing this at school? Yeah, it looks like they're doing it at their desk. It does seem like their teachers. Like, I don't remember being in class in a situation where the teacher wouldn't notice you. I guess you have, everyone's got these on their debt. How about you go back to pen and paper, first of all? Right. This idea of everyone gets a laptop.

Why? Like, oh, well, they'll need to do this in the future. What will I do in the future? They'll learn to type. I know you thought, like, oh, they'll get a head start, but this is what they're doing. So, you know, let's go back to the drawing. on board, make them, you know, make them learn cursive and read a book, and you can have one computer.

I do kind of miss the art of cursive, you know. I used to be able to do it a little bit better. Really? Yeah. I mean, honestly, I have, that's surprising to me, because I have, like, some of the worst handwriting you've ever seen. Yeah. And yours is only slightly better than mine.

I know. I mean, mine sucks. Yeah. It might look a little bit better in cursive, but not much. Right. Yeah. So it's like a bicycle. You have to.

do it all the time where you die interesting times weak times make hard men and hard men do hard times they do hard time anyway say a prayer say a prayer for the Pope

say a prayer for the Pope and say a prayer for Times Square it seems like this is two weeks in a row now we're talking about Times Square that's right and you found it is a big story there's new statues which I thought the whole idea was to get rid of statues in the past, you know, a bunch of years.

And you would think, oh, they're bringing statues back. You go, oh, because Trump's in the office, is he bringing back, you know, the general Lee statue, whatever. But apparently it's something else. It's, I'm not sure what, is this a woman? This is a random woman. This is a TikTok we're seeing of a random woman at the time. Is this like, I mean, is this in front?

I don't mean to make the same joke twice, do we? But is this the Amazon? them store? It could be. I don't know where it is. It just seems like it's just a random, thick woman. Is it looking kind of annoyed? Kind of annoyed. It's something, yeah, it's, uh, they're supposed to be, their figures are abstract, surreal, and politically symbolic. I wouldn't call that abstract. No, it's just a chubby woman.

Yeah. Or thick one, whatever will call it. I mean, I'm not judging, obviously. Uh, the themes include surveillance. Consumers. and identity. Well, I guess in the sense that, like, a person has an identity, you know, can be identified. Right.

It's identity. I mean, I don't know what. I'm a pretty smart man. Maybe. That's the best, maybe a bit of reach. I have good critical analysis,

right? I can read, I can look at art and I can, you know, can we go back to the beginning, you know, I have a decent eye for, like, meaning subtext.

I don't know what this means. Right. So I'm not sure. Yeah, It's actually a pretty, like, traditional statue. Yeah. It's just of a midwoman. It reminds me of that line from,

and I hate to quote the office, you know, but whatever, I will. It's like, this is not an announcement. Like, it is. You don't care about the information. You know, it's just like, it's like, this is like, this is not what, it is just, it is just still a woman.

It's not abstract just because she's a troubling. It is not, like, it's, it's not, uh. Apparently it's supposed to be commenting on. I guess it is tem. That's a little bit better than what. I thought this was supposed to be up here forever. Right. It's some kind of answer to the two, like, white male statues that kind of bookend the square with the red steps on it.

I got to be honest of you. I'm not from Ohio. I know offense if you are. I don't spend a lot of time in Times Square. No, I mean, so I know it sounds like a hipster, but I don't really hang out, you know, at the. bubble gum shrimp so I'm not not familiar with the two white men at the red at the red what the red book

the red stairs the reds where's the red stairs yeah like the I don't I literally don't know oh okay what is it it's something in time square it's an attraction in time square can we can we Google can you Google that for me bring it up I don't I mean I feel like I mean honestly I've been trying to see more

of the city and museums and cool stuff I you don't want it doesn't risk you take you don't want to be you don't want to completely ignore So these are, oh, is this where people stand to get tickets? These red, this is, I thought you were referring to something that was like, actually, not just something that was made in, like, 2008, you know, by, by a corporation. The red square. Why don't you know about the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the acroombie, a lemonade stand?

I'm sorry, I missed that. I missed that while I was being poor. But that's cool. So, there's, there's two white men. I never knew that There's two white male There's two statues One is of a guy

Cohen who is really big on He was like You know Indented Broadway or whatever Okay And then the other guy I forget his name But he was

You know A businessman or something Oh so they were just men They were just men They happened to be white men Yeah It wasn't like someone Did an art piece

Called two white men They weren't random white men They weren't random Slavantly white men Right but my point is like They were Look I mean, yeah, George Washington is a statue of a white man.

I mean, it is, but I mean, whatever. I mean, it's not like the, it's not like the funding grant said, like, you know, and here's the money to build the two white men. You know, like, this is, but I guess people are mad because, you know, are these actually, like, there to offset the white men? I guess they probably are. I think the idea is that it's a commentary on the white men, but I don't know why. Like, I don't, I don't think those guys were slave owners or anything.

No, I mean, look, you never know who was. But, I mean, look, we, again, we can't, we've, we've, take, generally, I'm cool, like, all right. Generally, I mean, he's, like, I don't think he's, oh, he didn't actually like, uh, slavery. Well, it's a weird thing to do then. He just, he just, he just, he's really, he just really love Virginia. Like, I think he's the worst thing in the world, but I love Richmond, the, the hot dogs in Richmond, whatever the, I've been to Rich. I've been to Rich. I don't know what the attraction is.

I don't know why you, like, you know, fight a civil war if he didn't care about slavery. It seems crazy to me. Oh, so I mean, like, I get it. It's a different way of life. It's like, I mean, jolips, whatever. It doesn't seem that important to fight a war. But take his away. But I mean, Washington, whatever.

I'm saying I agree with you, I'm saying. But, yeah, I don't know. So it does seem like, you know, oh, these guys who did something, we built a statue, and we're going to be a commentary. How about you just do something? and then where you look there are people

who deserve a statue yeah how about you just think of some black people who might actually warrant a beautiful statue George Washington Carver right

one of the Tuskegee again I didn't even do the Tuskegee Airmen monument Denzel Washington I think he lives in New York City

he deserves a stout he's great I would love to visit a statue of Denzel I would literally take a pet I love Denzel or Whitney Houston

on that one album cover where she In a bathtub oh okay Oh, no, that album cover where she's, where she's, like, she looks great. She's bald and, like, she's got, like, a, like, kind of a tunic on. Sure. Yeah.

Yeah. Is Bobby going to be there? Bobby Brown? No. All right. Well, he kind of, look. He didn't treat her right. He didn't treat her right, but he did make the beats, didn't he?

That's true. I mean, I'm saying. So, I don't know, it's, it's an interesting, oh, here we go. That would be a great statue. That would be a nice statue. you, I agree. It would be a lovely thing to put up there. But it's not, like, honestly, I do kind of buy into the kind of conspiracy theory that

some of this art that's, like, funded by public, public arts, you know, projects and stuff. Yeah. That it is, it might actually be intentionally demoralizing it. Right. It's reflecting you at your most, like, disheveled, basically. Like, you know, when you're just in some, like, wrinkled clothes from the gap. Yeah, this is what, like, this is what you can. be like this is your best case now right because they know what's coming they know what they're

doing to you right and they don't it doesn't it used to be good for them for them for you to have hope they ain't really that good of a thing anymore right and then the more like we're getting we're entering a phase now where when you if you have hope you get really upset when you see how things work out and unpredictable so it's better if you kind of you know modulate the expectations early you know that's what statues are they're just kind of It would have become a way just to kind of keep your expectations low. You know? Oh, I was able to eat today once.

That's not a bad day. Right. That's the kind of gist that we're going for. So, you know. But maybe the new Pope can do something around there. Maybe Pope Leo would, uh, the 14. You know, Leo is also, no, I don't make a joke about 14, but whatever, with Leo. good for him

I mean can I give the Pope a blessing yes please bless the Pope Dear Padre Belisimo right Belisimo Belisimo
