as we call him during the holidays and became Yeah.
So Andrew comes from a very very fun, festive family,
very interesting characters in this family. We love him, but
(00:39):
we just found out something else. Can we talk about it?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Is it okay to talk about it outlive, out loud?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Absolutely, tell him. My parents are meeting the Pope o casual,
I guess. Yeah, they're meeting the Pope suit and they
just start like flying out to Italy to go meet him.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh you mean your dad isn't summoning the Pope to America.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
That's what I would have expected.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, he's not coming home. They're not doing private meeting
in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Okay, can we can we talk about this? How do
you get a meeting with the Pope?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I think he knows, like i'mn senior who knows somebody
who knows somebody? But like in short, a donation is
made and you do actually make a check out to
the Pope.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What the h E p O?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Pope?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Is a crazy donation?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Like, is it like insane? They're going with like a
group of friends, so the collective donation is insane. Your
individual one was like, it's it's considerable.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
But the group donate. We don't need to know what
your parents donated the group in general about how much?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Was it.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Enough?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Like figures before the uh decimal?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Uh five five?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Oh I thought we could all afford that.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh my god, why did you say that? The earlier
we can hang out with the pope weekly? Yeah, at
these prices. I love that. Well that's so cool. So
how excited are they? I mean, has it sunk in?
Are your mom and dad just like flying around the room.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, they're like really freaking out. My mom was like
she brought a bunch of things in a white bag
to get blessed, like a blessing. So my mom literally
printed out a picture of like my sister's dog, a
picture of all of us. She's like throwing a bunch
of stuff in like a little white bag, and I
guess he just like waves his hands and it's a blessed.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Bag of objects.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So what do you wear?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Like, what is your mom wearing?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Hold that thought. I'm glad you brought that up, and
then we'll get an answer about your mom and what
she's wearing. I just looked up etiquette meeting the Pope.
You want to hear what it says? Yes, it says
respectful attire modest, dark colors for most, using titles like
your holiness, standing for his entrance, generally, keeping interactions brief
(03:01):
and polite, and bending the right knee or shaking hands
as appropriate, but avoiding overly familiar gestures like hugging or
slapping his back. Okay, it says for men danielle jacket, tie,
polished shoes, dark colors best. Really, you can't wear just
(03:23):
you know, shorts and a fanny pack.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I'm shocked about that.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Women, dresses or suits that cover the shoulders and elbows
with hemlines below the knees. Dark colors are recommended. A
shawl can cover your shoulders if needed.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Wow, yeah, my mom is freaking out about her shawl attire.
We share an Amazon account, so I just saw like,
like in my cart or a bunch of just black shawls.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
No flashy jewelry or say anything about that.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I mean, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I feel like you could wear You're.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Da gonna wear his ice?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, of course, does Gunny have to take grill out
of her mouth?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
He could bless it if you just put it in
the white bag. My mom, God, bless my grill.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Okay, so it says, And I wouldn't mind you guys
talking to me like this. Address him as your holiness
and holy father. Stand and applaud respectfully when he enters. Okay, wait,
you got a clap like I guess if he if
he walks into the room, people applaud the pope. I
would assume that, wouldn't you assume that the president when
(04:27):
a president walks the walk into the room.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yea. Honestly, when I met the president last year, I
had to do like the stand. You have to wear
the pole of shoes to tie the whole nine yards
of that too. So I guess it's the same rules.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's just a pope.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Just all right.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Here's what you need to do if he approaches you.
If the pope approaches you, bend your right knee to
the floor as a sign of respect. Wow. Oh that's
that's if you're gonna totally I guess them would be genuflect.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
My dad's got bad knee, so I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Do stay standing?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Sorry, Pope, we got a bad need. Catholics might kiss
the ring if offered. Others shake hands, a handshake his fine.
Catholics may kiss the ring if offered, but not required.
Introduce yourself, introduce yourself briefly. Let him lead the conversation.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Imagine if he starts just having like a regular conversation
about like football, like who knows?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And does your dad give him the check?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I don't know how the check presentation goes down.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
But does he like he just shakes it? Can you
like slip him a fifty paid for play idea? Yeah,
we should collect some money and go seriously, Dan yell like,
I'll stop, I'll chip in. Catholic. I already gave him
some something to get blessed, so I'm covered.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
She's covered, Kay.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Which Pope? And this is Pope Francis right? No, no, no,
this is the new Pope.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
They passed away.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh god, I hope you meeting Francis Chicago. Yeah, okay,
he says your thank you? Scary It says you're Poblio.
I did get their names picked up. It Poblio often
sets a side straight photocol, interacting warmly. He might step
out to greet people, but standard etiquette still applies. Wow,
that's heavy duty. Stace in essence is a meet and greet, Yeah, right,
(06:22):
like we do on a key like kJ McLean. Do
you think the Pope is like, oh God, I got
to meet with these Hope more sweaty handshakes.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I mean maybe if he's not having a good day too,
does he want to meet you?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
What if he says I'm not feeling it?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
What if he get canceled?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Gandhi? Do you want to meet the pope one day?
They'd be kind of cool, right.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I would love to meet the Pope. Actually, this pope
seems super cool. But I was going to tell you
guys that I met the Dalai Lama once and it
was the coolest ever.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Where was it.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
It was in South Florida. Actually, my school there picks
a handful of people to meet him, and I got
to be one of them and it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
And he was so funny and so nice and I
didn't pay any money for it, but it was like
one of the best experiences of my life. Easily the
most famous person I've ever met.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Gandhi. Yes, so we were in Central Park and Dalai Lama
and his entourage wasn't a huge entourage by the way.
They were walking past us. And of course my friends
got upset when I started singing Hello, Dolly.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I think he appreciated it. He's a funny guy.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh my friend, she slapped her hand over my mouth.
The darling friend Lama scary.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
While I have full and total complete respect for the pope,
I have to tell you I might not be nervous
if I ever got to meet him because this guy,
you know, he's a Chicago White Sox fan. He's been
seen at games like to me, he's just like an
American guy who who went up the ranks and now
has the highest holiest title in the land. So so,
(07:51):
but I was still I feel like I humanized. I
would humanize him in that way, you know, because I
could feel like, you know, he's one of us, Patton.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
On the back, do everything you know to supposed to do.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
But yeah, previous popes, i'd be nervous, but I feel
it wouldn't be as nervous with him.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
He seems so normal and approachable. Well, the good news
is scary. And you know how you are around people
who don't speak English. This one speaks English, so.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You don't have to scream at them like hi pop O,
mister Pope, senor Pope.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't know then they didn't know the Pope wore
a ring.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, he wears. That's where it comes from. Yeah, and
I went to Catholic school for twelve years. Pay it off,
break it.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Wait, I don't know that everyone gets a new ring
the same.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You know what in the past sales is the official.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
In fact, my nation pays for the next pope ring exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Kiss begins with K.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah, you know, they go back and forth the free
K sales. So when when is the papal meeting standing
room only, kneeling room only?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Maybe it's this week they're meeting.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Wow, okay, yeah cool.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
They did alert their banks just in case.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Are you sure about the five figure number? You're positive?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
One hundred? Okay, yea.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
So it's it's like ninety nine thousand dollars is the max.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's in that ballpark, so it's not five figures.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But also they they know people so that he doesn't
accept PayPal.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Stay he's.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Is it like when you do the Disney like you know,
behind the scenes tour and you're like allowed ten people per.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Like is it?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well, that's what happened, like last or a day or
two ago. They got like a private tour of the
Wow where I was. I'm interested to know what's underneath
the Vatican because that's apparently love the scene with all
the crazy rooms and all the fun things. Yeah, I
want to see.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
But if it's like backstage at Disney, just when your backstage,
does the Pope take his head off like making.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Hard?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
