Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, I can't wait to hear this one is the
first thing I saw when I pull up the sheet.
It says Hovey and I got into an argument about
the Pope Paulina. This should be good, all right, hit
the thing, let's go. It's the tangent giving you all
this shit we couldn't talk about on the air. Before
we get to that, though, I had this little TikTok
audio here that I thought I would play for you guys.
(00:21):
This is the latest thing happening in high schools around
the country that people have learned on TikTok that you're
not supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Here, listen to entering TikTok trend. It is going around
and school leaders know about it, so they want you
to know about it.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Okay, So this trend started on social media where students
are sticking sharp items into the charging ports of their chrome.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Books to start a fire.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's caused several fires to be set inside of high
schools and take a look at this TikTok. Authorities say
the batteries catch fire and produce toxic smoke. Three different
schools had to be evacuated because of the hazard. Thive
freighters say it could have been much worse.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
The small ones like cell phones and laptops.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It can cause an explosion.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
It could have protectedtually burned somebody.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Shrapnel could have hit other people if it exploded.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
My boy, the super gendit there says that she plans
to hold the students responsible accountable.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
There's nothing I love more than a news anchor fake
drop in. Oh boy, my goodness, Oh boy, that's terrible.
First of all, why why are people so stupid? Is
the first right. And there's the tans. That's the tanks.
I'll let you. I'll leave you with that. I mean,
so you're gonna ruin your computer, You're gonna set the
(01:32):
school on fire, You're gonna maybe get arrested, You're you're
gonna maybe hurt somebody. Why Why are we sticking metal
objects into the charging port of our very expensive electronic items,
only for someone else to have to pay to replace them? Why?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I mean, we had kids stick on paper clips into
the outlets when I was in school. But that's because
like we didn't have phones. You know, now they have phones,
they don't need something to pass the time.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, I don't know that we needed to pass the
time that way then either no.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
I mean I didn't do it, but it was a
thing for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I mean, kids are dumb.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
And then once one person finds out that you can
do that, the TikTok, the TikTok, the little fellow use,
how do you do?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's like, oh, neat, neat, I lit my thousand dollars
computer on fire and now my parents have to buy
me a new one in addition to whatever else could happen.
Are you so stupid?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like, how many times a week do I have to say,
just because you saw it on the internet does not
mean you need to do it. I just I don't.
I don't understand, all right, So I had to get
that another way because I'm just like.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Really really no, Yeah, it's stupid.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So, Paulina, you got into an argument with your husband,
Hobby over the pope.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
What.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I can't wait? What was the debate?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, there were a lot of layers to it.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Well, first of all, he wanted to know why I
was so obsessed with the whole pope thing, and that's
actually a very fair question. I don't know, but I
love history, and I think this is obviously historical, no
matter what, like it is historical, So I think I started.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Getting really into it because of that.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Obviously the Chicago tie and was really cool. And I
told him I was like, bro, I was like, and
we were not high sore to God, but this was
just like a high conversation. I was like, we have
lived like you and I are almost the same age,
he's a year older. I'm like, we have lived through
our first Polish pope, our first Latin American pope, and
now our first Chicago and American pope. If that's not
mean a nutshell, I don't know what is. And he
was like, I don't understand the pope, right, That's exactly
(03:28):
what he said. And I was like no, and I
was like, but yeah, like it's crazy right. So then
he was just like I don't get the hype over it.
And he's like a super like religious person. I mean
like the kind of super religious as dramatic, but like
he's super Catholic. I mean he's got like all the jewelry,
the tats, like he goes to church more than I do.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Like he is like in it. Okay.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So that's why I was so confused that he wasn't
obsessed with this pope thing like I was, and that
kind of got me mad because I'm like, well, how
are you not like into this, Like, no matter what
it's it's history, it's cool, it's obviously a part of
like being a Catholic. Right, So then we had a
get down because he goes, I don't understand, like why
we're worshiping a pulp, Like I don't really get that part.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And I was like, you know what, You're not wrong,
and I was like, but I'm like that I had
like sick to my guns, right because I've said too much,
And then yeah, I had started it.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah that no matter what, Like I was like, you
can't argue and say, he's one of the most like
prolific figures in the world, even if you Catholic or not.
I'm like, he leads probably the largest group of people,
which is what one point three billion people of Catholics
in the world.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Who stats?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I y, he's Wikipedia.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
I want to say it might be on Wikipedia. I
think I pulled that number from somewhere. I was like,
but that's a lot of damn people like that. That
man is running the world, if that right? And I
was like, and think about it too, like he he
has such an influence and can really change. And I've
been saying rebrand right of the Catholic Church that needs
to happen. I'm like, we need a rebrand. He could
be that person, like, he could be the figure that
does that. And then I started getting into like Jesus
(04:54):
and I was like, I'm no Jesus expert.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I was like, but I feel like.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
This is shocking.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Are you goog was he a carpenter?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
At two in the morning, I woke up and I
googled was Jesus a carpenter? Because I had to know,
like it was killing me. I think he was right,
he was a carpenter, and Joseph was too, I think, or.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Something like that. Oh they work together. I don't know
if they're like a father. I could be making all
this stuff. Please don't at me.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I've had enough today from his Debbie herself. I don't
need anyone else to come from me. But I really
just felt like, guys, I like the pope thing is
just so cool to me, and I think that's what
it was. And then he's like, well, I don't understand why.
I'm like listening to a man, right, like a human being,
if you will, He's not God. And I was like, well,
arguably he's the closest to God in this world. Like
(05:39):
he's supposedly able to communicate with God. And I know
we all talk to God when we pray, so like
I don't need the Pope for that. I can talk
to my God. But like he supposedly is the closest
being to God.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
And I was like, I don't think he's like he's
not God, he's not Jesus. He's not sinless like Jesus
was perfect. Right, he did not sin. That was the whole.
Like that's the that's his whole, that's his biggest flex
if you.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Will, that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
And then and then I told him the story. I
think you and I talked about this years ago.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Fred remember the story or we saw the video of
Pope Francis ri ip but he was talking to a
little boy.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Oh my god, I saw it the other day. Yes,
I sent it to Uh. I sent it to Jason.
It makes me cry every time, well if I could cry,
makes me cry.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
All yeah, no one gets me.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It's a little boy talking to Pope Francis, and I
believe he asked him, you know, Uh, is my father
is able to go to heaven? Because he committed suicide.
Oh yeah, the little boy's father, and he's crying and
there I think it was like in maybe Brazil, I
don't know. He think he's speaking Portuguese. It sounds like
maybe Spanish, but it sounds like Portuguese. And that moment
I was like, I was like, do you understand, like
the how significant that is? Though to even for Papa
(06:44):
Francis to even say that to a room full of
the world, because we always have to answer, I want
to say, was he kind of just saying like, your
father's not a bad person.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He's not a bad man.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, this kid went up to him, and the kid
got very emotional. His dad died and his dad was
an atheist, but he had still wanted his kids to
be baptized, and so he whispers all this in the
Pope's ear. And then the Pope was and he's crying,
and because at first he's trying to ask the question
(07:14):
and then he couldn't get it out. And then the
Pope's like, come here, because he was like up on
a stage. So he comes to him and they talk
and whatever, and then I guess he asks, can I
share this with the audience or whatever? So the kid
goes and sits down and he said, essentially, your dad
is in heaven because you know, he thought enough to
make sure that his kids were baptized. Oh okay, God,
(07:35):
So regardless of his beliefs, you know, or whatever, you know,
he thought it was important to pay I mean, he
obviously he'd have to watch the video and he gets
into why he feels that way. But it's super emotional.
It's hard to watch, you know. It's very sweet though,
it is really sweet.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
And I just thought that was really significant because I'm like, well,
if we're all seeing that, to me, he's sputting the
message that I think Jesus is spreading is that we
love everybody, right, like we are except ding of everyone,
no matter what their beliefs may be, whatever, whatever. That's
how I took it. And I was like, and that's
what I want my daughter to learn, is that like
we we love all you know what I mean, Like,
it doesn't matter where you're like, your beliefs are, where
(08:11):
you're coming from, whatever. And that terms right, he's an atheist, right,
I want my daughter to understand that. So I thought
that was a cool part. I think that a lot
of the popes, even like, uh, what does his name?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
John Paul? The second?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I think when he forgave, which I would never but
he forgave the person who shot him, Remember that scandal.
He wants to jail to visit the man that tried.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
To Yeah, that's a bigger person than I am. But
I think I think we knew that I was not
on the running for pope. I think a lot of
people knew that. Now. There was some saying that it
could be me, and I appreciate that, but I think
every most people in the know were aware that I wasn't.
I wasn't going to be the guy. But there's still
time in my life, you know, No, there is, there is,
and it's pretty sure that I would need a lot
(08:51):
more forgiveness than that.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah that could the Pope did it.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I got a lot to undo if we're going to
get to a place of purity. But but yeah maybe
some day.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah, you see, like.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
What I'm saying, I just feel like the Pope is
such a figure, and maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's obviously historic. He's a historical figure.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
When we all pass one day and we're not here
like this is gonna be our grandkids, kids, kids are
gonna be learning about this.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
So I thought it was cool, and he didn't agree
because he still doesn't understand why I'm so obsessed with
a person, Like he's not God, you know. So he's
just like I don't understand, like what the fixation is, right, or.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Why are you so obsessed? And I don't know either,
I don't know. And oh and I told him that.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I was like, well, if he leads the rebrand, if
he continues doing what Papa Francis did, like that would
be amazing because think about it in our lifetime, if
we were able. I'm just putting this out there, so
if the pope's listening, take my advice. Yes, if we were,
if we were to do something such as, I don't know,
you can get married in a church if you're a
gay couple.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Wow, look at that. Now we can accept everybody and
bring them into the church if that's what they're looking
to do, because I know a lot of Catholics who
are gay and that they can't get married in the church.
They want to, but they can't. And I actually know what.
I'm going to see him this Saturday, So like, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
The Pope, see the Pope.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
No, I'm going to see the Pope next day, Catholic.
I'm going to see a gay Catholic next week. But
next year, I actually am going to Italy because we're
going on our honeymoon God willing, fingers crossed, and I'm
going to make sure that I sign.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Up for the get blessed by the Pope things.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
There's a sign up thing you can do, I don't know,
but you have to do it months in advance, and
you have to be a newlywed couple.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
So that's the only thing.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I got against me. So I might have another wedding
next year in the Catholic church. I didn't get married
in the church yet, so I might just show up,
pull up the church, get married with Hobby and then
we could be a newlywed couple again.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I see, Yeah, I have an all PLANNEDO.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I think for me, it's the the fact that this
is a dude who like I could have like sat
next to a Portillo's as where the Pope has never
seemed in the least been accessible to me, and like
he still isn't accessible to me. But I mean they've
always been like this figure that was from somewhere else
and I don't know, just like and obviously it's an
(10:57):
elite position, but the fact that this dude lived in Chicago,
lived not far from where and and and and uh,
you know what was the word I'm looking for, not practiced,
but you know, presided over past what was a pastor,
was pastoring whatever it is. I think I think past
sense of pastor's pastoring. Yeah, that was right. The thing
(11:22):
he did this so nearby is like, I don't know,
And I get that in other parts of the world,
previous popes would be that to them because these guys
were you know, many of them were missionaries, and they
were really out here, like you know, spreading the word
and doing good deeds and things like that. But I
don't know this dude like the fact that I could
have met him potentially, to me, it just makes the
whole thing that much more real. But the second thing
(11:45):
I keep thinking about is that this guy didn't I
believe it when when he says and his family says
and people around him, but he did not ever think
it would be him. So he went into this thing.
And he's a cardinal and that's a big deal. I mean,
that's that's an appointment by the pope. It's a big deal.
Like he did not think going into that thing that
thirty six hours later he would be the pope. And
now he is the pope. And we saw it like
(12:07):
moments after they gave it to him and he walked out,
Like I don't know what the freak must go through
your mind? Yes, you know when you're like, oh, oh,
I'm that guy. Oh it's me, Like, it's just I
don't know, that's crazy. I don't know if at some
point you wake up and like freak out, because it's
a lot of obviously a lot of responsibility. You're in
charge of all of these parishioners, you're in charge of Arguably,
(12:28):
I believe the Catholic Church is one of the biggest
businesses in the worldly. It has more real estate than
anybody else. I mean, a lot of money, a lot
of responsibility, and that just happened, and he already had
an important job, but he wasn't the pope, right, so
I mean he was part of deciding who got to
be a bishop, which is a big deal. But still
like hem.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
And even for like a non believer, if you're not
into it, it's insane.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
He would dress up as the pope and make his
siblings play pope with him when he was little.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Like he's only ever one of that.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
There's gotta be something greatter than him, you know, pushing him.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Who what little kid?
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I mean, I know your grandma.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Al right, well yeah, my nana we used to play church.
Is just for real. I used to be a priest. Yeah,
my nana used to support this game. And we had
like little little bread and we did like I did.
I offered communion and I did, I blessed her, yeah
and uh and then I took a collection. Oh wow,
you kept the money.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, I'm sure you did.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Which is just like the Catholic church actually, but yeah, no,
that that all.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Happened when we talked about that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Literally, I told that story at Nana's funeral because of
course I had to give the eulogy, because I have
to give all the eulogies because I, for some reason,
am the public speaker and I'm not I talk on
the radio. It's very different, people, there's all you get
to do that. Oh, thanks for giving me the hardest
thing ever to do. And so I told that story
and I on the altar at the church, and the
priest looked at me like, I don't know that you
(13:56):
should be telling that story right now where you're standing.
But I do it anyway because you know, my nana
would have appreciated that. So yeah, but no, it didn't
turn out the same way for me. I preside over
this room, which I don't know what that means. No.
I do wear the pope hat most mornings, which you know,
and I make people bow to me and things like that,
(14:17):
but and kiss my hands and things. But other than that,
I don't. I'm not living that life at all. But
none of you have complained. None of you have. I mean,
I haven't wound up an hr nothing. You guys all
seem to be okay with it.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That was part of the job.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But yeah, I wanted one of those Charlemagne that God
alter chairs, but they wouldn't give it to me. They
don't even look comfortable either. What did you call it?
A wedding shower or baby shower chair? Baby chairs?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, and they got rid of them too. No, I
think I bullied him.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, there's a show in New York that syndicated that
they used to sit in like thrones, which you know.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
And he's called Charlemagne the God.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Well he calls himself that, yeah, right, right right, which is.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Similar to the pope though someone of them, except he decided, yeah,
that's crazy for him though good should you start referring
to myself as Red the guy and see what happened?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, I'm into it to p and I'm I'm Catholic technically,
not super religious, very spiritual. I have some issues with
the church, you know, ma'am. I love some me some
gay men and women. Yeah, we need a rebrand. But
I am also into history and I'm very into the
pope thing. I want to know the procedures, what goes
on in that room. I'm super into it. I did
(15:31):
consider betting on the new pope. I would have lost.
I did not do it. I thought that was sacriligious
to bet. But I'm I'm very into it too. In
Chicago's such a proud.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
City, so I feel like that being part of it.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Yeah, I feel like he's gonna get and there might
be things that come out or whatever, but I know
he's gonna just get. I think tore up just because
he's an American pope, just.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Because of that that part. Are they already I saw?
Speaker 5 (15:51):
I think what station did this, But they were dragging
him or at least you know, yeah, because he uh
spoke in Italian and Latin. I believe in his very
first speech. To speak Italian in Italy is a crazy concept.
I doesn't understand. They were like, why is he doing
in English? He's American, like he should have done in English,
but he's in Italy.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
No nouanely like on the vibe of whatever thinks of America.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
The clip Yeah, I was like, my neck was like twisting.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I was like, but he's also in Italy and he
can speak Italian.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
He's lived in Peru and he's lived in Italy I
think longer or the same amount of time that he's
lived in the United States. So you know, he's he's
many things. He's a Peruvian citizen. I mean, he could
have gone up that they speak Spanish, and he could
have gone up there and spoken Spanish if he wanted.
But I think it's tradition to speak Italian, and that's
what he did, which is amazing because that means he
(16:44):
had to learn how to speak Italian.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
He languages.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
But you're right, Caitlin, if he goes up there and
does hey, hey, what's up y'all, Yo, big flex on
the po all of a sudden, Oh really, Oh so
we're gonna do all this in English now, because apparently,
you know, and I hate to say this, but a
lot of Americans believe the whole world should speak English
and cater to us, and I think the issue so
I'm glad that he didn't do that, but.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I just thought that was, Yeah, you're in Italy. It's
it's okay, you can speak Italian. Like, I have no
issue with that.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I go off, let's go, like, what are you doing.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I also kind of wonder, not to get political about it,
but there is obviously a lot of division in the
United States. I kind of wonder if he was like
a safe choice because he's American, but he's kind of not,
you know, because he's he's worldly, but he's American. But
but he's he would he's relatable to Americans in a
way that we've never had. And so was it strategic
(17:36):
in some ways? Like, well, he can appeal to some
of that division, he can appeal to some of those
Americans and maybe drive unity because you know, like it
or not, we are a power in the world and
there's a lot of dissension right now. So I don't
know if maybe that was part of the deal, Like, well,
he's not going to offend anybody because he's not, you know,
standing up there eating a hamburger speaking in English. But
he's also he also has the ability to influence Americans
(17:59):
and be relatable to Americans in a way that in
the two hundred and sixty seven pups we've never had.
So I wonder if they if they put that much
thought into it or not. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I think it was strategic in that way.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I do.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think it's I does think it's like a fuck
you to the world.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I do not even a fuck you, maybe like a
like I think America right now is very problematic no
matter where you stand. I think there's just everyone's got
issues left right up down side design, Everyone's got their
own whatever issues with whatever it might be. And I
think he's kind of maybe like you said, maybe it's
a peacemaker of some sort.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Also maybe he's well is not an FU then well.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Not an f you. I don't want to say few yeah,
that's not the only thing to say, not a fuck you.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I think I think it's like the world needs ye
needs an influence over this part of the world, and
I think that you know, this reflects that. Yeah, that's
but maybe it's not even that intentional. I don't know,
you don't think so, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I also read that he might or I don't know
how true this is that he's not very left, very right,
which I think a lot of any sense before this
radio too. I think a lot of people are truly
just like in the middle. I think people just want
like affordable housing, but they also want like equal rights,
and I think that's kind of where he.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
From the looks of it.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
He might stand there, right, and I think the world
needs that.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's hot time.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I do think it's crazy that there's so much division
in our country because you have to be aligned. It's
impossible for people to believe that you could in fact
be moderate and that you could in fact believe in
some of what some persons saying and some of what
another person saying. With the two party system, you got
to pick the one that you think is more likely
(19:30):
to deliver the things that are most important to you. Sadly, sadly,
you know, we haven't had great choices. But that's interesting
because I do think the vast majority of people are
right down the middle, which is why it's so hard
for me to understand why nobody represents that who's running
for office. Why because I think that person would win
by a landslide. And I think maybe those people have tried.
(19:53):
But if you don't fit into one party or the other,
then you're not going to get promoted to that level.
You know, you can't be there's every I don't think
there's been an independent president because there's no backing behind that.
So anyway, I wish I kind of wish we get
rid of the parties because it's like, how about we
just vote for the best person? And I love that
well because it's like, say what you want about Trump.
A lot of people hate Trump, but he he says
(20:16):
he believes in shit that Republicans believe in, even though
I don't believe that, but he says that because like
do I he My understanding is he leans far more
in the direction of pro life than he does pro choice.
That guy is pro choice through and through, Come on, come,
and he's real. And I don't know this for a fact,
but my guess is he's okay with with with having
(20:40):
that option on the list. My guess would be not
I don't know this for a fact, but I would
guess that. But that's not what we get him the
vast majority of Republican votes in his opinion, So he
says this, but he believes that the guy's a Democrat,
I mean, or he's a moderate. I don't even know
what Democrat or Republican is Republican is anymore. But anyway,
my point is people say what they have to say
(21:01):
to get one or the other party to support them
to rise to the top, because that's the only way
you're gonna get the votes. But we don't really know
where anybody actually stands because we're catering to this party
system and unless you're a Republican or a Democrat, then
you're not gonna get enough votes to win. So we
don't really know who we're dealing with.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, truly, And how you said, like Haave was like
and this is different, but like a comparison that I
see as like how he's like, well he's a person.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Like why are we, you know, like being fans of
his or whatever?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
And that's why I feel with like our politicians, it's
odd to me that we're like rocking merch and having
signs like just vote who you think is best, Like
why is it's like they're rock stars now, Like we're
very much like idolizing them as if they are our
favorite artist. And I just think that's a little odd.
I mean, you could be proud of who you vote for,
(21:48):
but we need the merch.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And the signs and the no it's a lot, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
You know, I would love to, like in our lifetime
just have somebody running for you know, president or whatever
that for the office and just like being someone who
truly can say both things and not be okay, you know,
to be like, hey man, I want less crime, but
you know what I want y'all millennials to buy houses
and I have to like go into death for rest
of your life or student loans like access to healthcare,
(22:12):
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Like I don't know, maybe I'm crazy lady over here.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
But I just feel like it's being twenty twenty five
and we never really had that option. Is wild to
me because I just want somebody who represents, like especially
what I want, because neither really ever did. I don't know,
like obviously, like you know whatever, but I just I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I want somebody who represents me.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I think common sense, though, even in itself, is hard
for people because it sometimes means that some of the
stuff that has to be done people don't want to
acknowledge has to be done. You Know, what I find
when I hear people talk about politics oftentimes is that
oftentimes is that they want a bunch of stuff and
then they want a bunch of other stuff, and those
things are not possible in unity, Like you can't have both.
(22:55):
You know. It's it's, well, I want safer streets, but
lower taxes. You know, let's do fund the police. But
why is it so dangerous to you know, I don't know,
and I'm just making this up that this is not
my perspective, but it's like I want this and that, okay,
but you know I want this, but then I don't.
I don't want that. It's like, well, but unfortunately, I
think that is tied to that. So we have to
(23:16):
make choices, right like, and some of the choices that
are the people would have to make are not always
nice choices. And I think that's where people get in trouble.
Is it's like, well, but because I don't know that
That's what I find, at least when you start talking
to people who who quote unquote different, it's like, no,
we agree on most things. I think we disagree maybe
on how we go about doing it or the sacrifices
(23:36):
we're going to have to make to get there, because
some of it it just flat out doesn't sound nice,
you know, in order to cut this or do that
to get here. Nobody wants to do that part, but
they want the end result. And it's so then and then,
and then then you're of then people get villainized because
well you want that and I want this, But then
we it's just it's a fucking disaster. So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Hopefully the Pope will save it all.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I think so, well, you know, he's one of us.
He's one of us. He's probably been to Danny's Pizza.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Oh for sure, Southsider Danny's Pizza, his.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Brothers, he's probably been there.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
He was substituting with Saint Rito. He probably drove do
on Pulaski.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He's probably been that white castle that's under the runway, Yeah,
sixty third, right there under the approach. He's probably been there.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
He's been in the drive through.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, I know, I think so, and then he's probably
had the same I mean, he's the pope now, so
he probably doesn't get the same stomach rumblings that we get.
I would imagine now he could eat whatever he wants
and like he doesn't shit his pants, especially with all
the white and stuff. But like that's another thing. The
white we're happen to wear white all the time would
really concern me.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yeah, oh yeah, I'm a mask.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, I say, yeah, And how do they have clothes?
I'm still amazing they had closed. It fit him right away,
Like how did they get closed that fast? That fit him?
You know how? Yeah, right upstairs? Right, yeah, he delivered.
That's wild to me. Though, do you think my final
pope thing, do you think he believes it? Like, do
(24:59):
you think that he like, do you think he believes
that in the course of a day or two that
now God, I mean, and you said it before, like
if you're religious, you believe you're talking to God, praying
to God anyway, and that there's a lot of people
believe that there's a dialogue going on, even if it's not.
You know, like you and I are talking right now,
But like, do you think it's set in for him
(25:19):
like oh wow, Oh so I am the extension of
God on earth. That's me wow, because a couple of
days ago, I was just a dude, right, and now
I'm that Like I don't know, like does that ever
really set in? Because I don't know that I could
ever really convince myself I was that important. I'm too
self deprecating. I know, I'd be like, no, I'm the
same piece of shit I was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
He probably is like, oh, well, because they say like
God talks to them as they're through the voting process
or however it works. I mean, to me, I'm picturing
sorority recruitment. But they all say that like they're getting
a message. So I he probably is just like, well,
if they think I'm the.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Guy, and then whatever messages I'm getting must be the message, right,
I guess.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
I mean, I don't see him as becoming like, you know,
an egomaniac and being like yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Then remember in Conclave, and again it's a movie. I
don't know if it's real, but John Lithgow's character he
said he was one of the cardinals up for it,
and he said, well, I spoke to God last night.
It's like, well, is he telling the truth or is
he in the movie he was not honest or that
character wasn't honest. But it's like, do we believe him?
Are we supposed to believe him? Is he the guy?
And we're missing it? Like I don't. The whole thing
(26:24):
to me is a little mysterious, and I guess we'll
never really have those answers.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
But it's a quick voting process.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well, I guess it's very arduous and long. Not arduous,
that mean, I guess it's in long. It takes an
hour and a half for each vote, and you don't
have a phone. There's no way to distract yourself. Oh
so you have to read like prayers and tally along.
And I don't know, maybe they I think they probably
all want it to be efficient because then they don't
have to sit there all day, you know what I mean,
and do that over and over again. I'm not saying
(26:51):
that they pushed it, but I mean I'm sure that
if they could come to a consensus quickly, that's good
for everybody. Plus I guess the food sucked.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
The Archbishop or whatever he is of New York, a
Dolan guy. He was cardinal Dolan. He was like, I'm
They asked him, like what was the food like, and
he was like, I'm glad it's over, which is not
very nice to all the nuns that had to make
it for you. No Italy. I didn't realize you could
have shitty food in Italy. I don't seem possible, That's
what I'm saying. I couldn't have a little pasta lady like,
how can this? How bad can this be?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Well, those nuns are probably trying to speed up the process.
They probably like, I have to clean and yeah, all
this crowd.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I was surprised to hear that, though. He was like,
oh yeah, I was glad it was over. The food
wasn't you know? He was implying the food wasn't great.
I'm like, oh, I don't know. Can't we cater it?
Like right, yeah, right, you know elevated hospital food? Come on,
let's do it. All right? Well? Wow, we talked politics
kind of, We talked religion. All the things we're not
supposed to do. We did. I think we swore a
(27:45):
little bit. We talked about you know, dipshits that stick
stuff in the in the charging port of their computers
to try and burn the school down. Yes, you know
what the thing about that? That would my mom. I'd
come home and be like, hey, mom, I stuck a
paper clip in my charging thing on my laptop and
burned it. She'd be like, great, now you don't have
a computer. Oh great. Yeah, she'd be like, you better
(28:06):
figure out to wait, here's god, there is shut up man. Right.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
My mom would stick something right in my charging for
it. It broke my computer.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Wow, she was so pissed.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Those are expensive.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
No, my mom would be like, how are you gonna
pay for that? Right, That's what she was saying to
me anyway. All right, well I'm dying now. It's enough
talking for today. There's the tan to have a good day.
Oh, I can't wait to hear this one is the
first thing I saw when I pull up the sheet.
It says Hovey and I got into an argument about
the Pope Paulina. This should be good, all right, hit
the thing, let's go. It's the tangent giving you all
this shit we couldn't talk about on the air. Before
we get to that, though, I had this little TikTok
audio here that I thought I would play for you guys.
(00:21):
This is the latest thing happening in high schools around
the country that people have learned on TikTok that you're
not supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Here, listen to entering TikTok trend. It is going around
and school leaders know about it, so they want you
to know about it.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Okay, So this trend started on social media where students
are sticking sharp items into the charging ports of their chrome.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Books to start a fire.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's caused several fires to be set inside of high
schools and take a look at this TikTok. Authorities say
the batteries catch fire and produce toxic smoke. Three different
schools had to be evacuated because of the hazard. Thive
freighters say it could have been much worse.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
The small ones like cell phones and laptops.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It can cause an explosion.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
It could have protectedtually burned somebody.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Shrapnel could have hit other people if it exploded.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
My boy, the super gendit there says that she plans
to hold the students responsible accountable.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
There's nothing I love more than a news anchor fake
drop in. Oh boy, my goodness, Oh boy, that's terrible.
First of all, why why are people so stupid? Is
the first right. And there's the tans. That's the tanks.
I'll let you. I'll leave you with that. I mean,
so you're gonna ruin your computer, You're gonna set the
(01:32):
school on fire, You're gonna maybe get arrested, You're you're
gonna maybe hurt somebody. Why Why are we sticking metal
objects into the charging port of our very expensive electronic items,
only for someone else to have to pay to replace them? Why?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I mean, we had kids stick on paper clips into
the outlets when I was in school. But that's because
like we didn't have phones. You know, now they have phones,
they don't need something to pass the time.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, I don't know that we needed to pass the
time that way then either no.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
I mean I didn't do it, but it was a
thing for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I mean, kids are dumb.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
And then once one person finds out that you can
do that, the TikTok, the TikTok, the little fellow use,
how do you do?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's like, oh, neat, neat, I lit my thousand dollars
computer on fire and now my parents have to buy
me a new one in addition to whatever else could happen.
Are you so stupid?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like, how many times a week do I have to say,
just because you saw it on the internet does not
mean you need to do it. I just I don't.
I don't understand, all right, So I had to get
that another way because I'm just like.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Really really no, Yeah, it's stupid.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
So, Paulina, you got into an argument with your husband,
Hobby over the pope.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
What.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I can't wait? What was the debate?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, there were a lot of layers to it.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Well, first of all, he wanted to know why I
was so obsessed with the whole pope thing, and that's
actually a very fair question. I don't know, but I
love history, and I think this is obviously historical, no
matter what, like it is historical, So I think I started.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Getting really into it because of that.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Obviously the Chicago tie and was really cool. And I
told him I was like, bro, I was like, and
we were not high sore to God, but this was
just like a high conversation. I was like, we have
lived like you and I are almost the same age,
he's a year older. I'm like, we have lived through
our first Polish pope, our first Latin American pope, and
now our first Chicago and American pope. If that's not
mean a nutshell, I don't know what is. And he
was like, I don't understand the pope, right, That's exactly
(03:28):
what he said. And I was like no, and I
was like, but yeah, like it's crazy right. So then
he was just like I don't get the hype over it.
And he's like a super like religious person. I mean
like the kind of super religious as dramatic, but like
he's super Catholic. I mean he's got like all the jewelry,
the tats, like he goes to church more than I do.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Like he is like in it. Okay.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
So that's why I was so confused that he wasn't
obsessed with this pope thing like I was, and that
kind of got me mad because I'm like, well, how
are you not like into this, Like, no matter what
it's it's history, it's cool, it's obviously a part of
like being a Catholic. Right, So then we had a
get down because he goes, I don't understand, like why
we're worshiping a pulp, Like I don't really get that part.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And I was like, you know what, You're not wrong,
and I was like, but I'm like that I had
like sick to my guns, right because I've said too much,
And then yeah, I had started it.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah that no matter what, Like I was like, you
can't argue and say, he's one of the most like
prolific figures in the world, even if you Catholic or not.
I'm like, he leads probably the largest group of people,
which is what one point three billion people of Catholics
in the world.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Who stats?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I y, he's Wikipedia.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
I want to say it might be on Wikipedia. I
think I pulled that number from somewhere. I was like,
but that's a lot of damn people like that. That
man is running the world, if that right? And I
was like, and think about it too, like he he
has such an influence and can really change. And I've
been saying rebrand right of the Catholic Church that needs
to happen. I'm like, we need a rebrand. He could
be that person, like, he could be the figure that
does that. And then I started getting into like Jesus
(04:54):
and I was like, I'm no Jesus expert.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I was like, but I feel like.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
This is shocking.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Are you goog was he a carpenter?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
At two in the morning, I woke up and I
googled was Jesus a carpenter? Because I had to know,
like it was killing me. I think he was right,
he was a carpenter, and Joseph was too, I think, or.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Something like that. Oh they work together. I don't know
if they're like a father. I could be making all
this stuff. Please don't at me.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I've had enough today from his Debbie herself. I don't
need anyone else to come from me. But I really
just felt like, guys, I like the pope thing is
just so cool to me, and I think that's what
it was. And then he's like, well, I don't understand why.
I'm like listening to a man, right, like a human being,
if you will, He's not God. And I was like, well,
arguably he's the closest to God in this world. Like
(05:39):
he's supposedly able to communicate with God. And I know
we all talk to God when we pray, so like
I don't need the Pope for that. I can talk
to my God. But like he supposedly is the closest
being to God.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
And I was like, I don't think he's like he's
not God, he's not Jesus. He's not sinless like Jesus
was perfect. Right, he did not sin. That was the whole.
Like that's the that's his whole, that's his biggest flex
if you.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Will, that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
And then and then I told him the story. I
think you and I talked about this years ago.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Fred remember the story or we saw the video of
Pope Francis ri ip but he was talking to a
little boy.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Oh my god, I saw it the other day. Yes,
I sent it to Uh. I sent it to Jason.
It makes me cry every time, well if I could cry,
makes me cry.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
All yeah, no one gets me.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
It's a little boy talking to Pope Francis, and I
believe he asked him, you know, Uh, is my father
is able to go to heaven? Because he committed suicide.
Oh yeah, the little boy's father, and he's crying and
there I think it was like in maybe Brazil, I
don't know. He think he's speaking Portuguese. It sounds like
maybe Spanish, but it sounds like Portuguese. And that moment
I was like, I was like, do you understand, like
the how significant that is? Though to even for Papa
(06:44):
Francis to even say that to a room full of
the world, because we always have to answer, I want
to say, was he kind of just saying like, your
father's not a bad person.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He's not a bad man.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, this kid went up to him, and the kid
got very emotional. His dad died and his dad was
an atheist, but he had still wanted his kids to
be baptized, and so he whispers all this in the
Pope's ear. And then the Pope was and he's crying,
and because at first he's trying to ask the question
(07:14):
and then he couldn't get it out. And then the
Pope's like, come here, because he was like up on
a stage. So he comes to him and they talk
and whatever, and then I guess he asks, can I
share this with the audience or whatever? So the kid
goes and sits down and he said, essentially, your dad
is in heaven because you know, he thought enough to
make sure that his kids were baptized. Oh okay, God,
(07:35):
So regardless of his beliefs, you know, or whatever, you know,
he thought it was important to pay I mean, he
obviously he'd have to watch the video and he gets
into why he feels that way. But it's super emotional.
It's hard to watch, you know. It's very sweet though,
it is really sweet.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
And I just thought that was really significant because I'm like, well,
if we're all seeing that, to me, he's sputting the
message that I think Jesus is spreading is that we
love everybody, right, like we are except ding of everyone,
no matter what their beliefs may be, whatever, whatever. That's
how I took it. And I was like, and that's
what I want my daughter to learn, is that like
we we love all you know what I mean, Like,
it doesn't matter where you're like, your beliefs are, where
(08:11):
you're coming from, whatever. And that terms right, he's an atheist, right,
I want my daughter to understand that. So I thought
that was a cool part. I think that a lot
of the popes, even like, uh, what does his name?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
John Paul? The second?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I think when he forgave, which I would never but
he forgave the person who shot him, Remember that scandal.
He wants to jail to visit the man that tried.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
To Yeah, that's a bigger person than I am. But
I think I think we knew that I was not
on the running for pope. I think a lot of
people knew that. Now. There was some saying that it
could be me, and I appreciate that, but I think
every most people in the know were aware that I wasn't.
I wasn't going to be the guy. But there's still
time in my life, you know, No, there is, there is,
and it's pretty sure that I would need a lot
(08:51):
more forgiveness than that.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah that could the Pope did it.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I got a lot to undo if we're going to
get to a place of purity. But but yeah maybe
some day.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah, you see, like.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
What I'm saying, I just feel like the Pope is
such a figure, and maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's obviously historic. He's a historical figure.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
When we all pass one day and we're not here
like this is gonna be our grandkids, kids, kids are
gonna be learning about this.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
So I thought it was cool, and he didn't agree
because he still doesn't understand why I'm so obsessed with
a person, Like he's not God, you know. So he's
just like I don't understand, like what the fixation is, right, or.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Why are you so obsessed? And I don't know either,
I don't know. And oh and I told him that.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I was like, well, if he leads the rebrand, if
he continues doing what Papa Francis did, like that would
be amazing because think about it in our lifetime, if
we were able. I'm just putting this out there, so
if the pope's listening, take my advice. Yes, if we were,
if we were to do something such as, I don't know,
you can get married in a church if you're a
gay couple.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Wow, look at that. Now we can accept everybody and
bring them into the church if that's what they're looking
to do, because I know a lot of Catholics who
are gay and that they can't get married in the church.
They want to, but they can't. And I actually know what.
I'm going to see him this Saturday, So like, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
The Pope, see the Pope.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
No, I'm going to see the Pope next day, Catholic.
I'm going to see a gay Catholic next week. But
next year, I actually am going to Italy because we're
going on our honeymoon God willing, fingers crossed, and I'm
going to make sure that I sign.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Up for the get blessed by the Pope things.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
There's a sign up thing you can do, I don't know,
but you have to do it months in advance, and
you have to be a newlywed couple.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
So that's the only thing.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I got against me. So I might have another wedding
next year in the Catholic church. I didn't get married
in the church yet, so I might just show up,
pull up the church, get married with Hobby and then
we could be a newlywed couple again.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I see, Yeah, I have an all PLANNEDO.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I think for me, it's the the fact that this
is a dude who like I could have like sat
next to a Portillo's as where the Pope has never
seemed in the least been accessible to me, and like
he still isn't accessible to me. But I mean they've
always been like this figure that was from somewhere else
and I don't know, just like and obviously it's an
(10:57):
elite position, but the fact that this dude lived in Chicago,
lived not far from where and and and and uh,
you know what was the word I'm looking for, not practiced,
but you know, presided over past what was a pastor,
was pastoring whatever it is. I think I think past
sense of pastor's pastoring. Yeah, that was right. The thing
(11:22):
he did this so nearby is like, I don't know,
And I get that in other parts of the world,
previous popes would be that to them because these guys
were you know, many of them were missionaries, and they
were really out here, like you know, spreading the word
and doing good deeds and things like that. But I
don't know this dude like the fact that I could
have met him potentially, to me, it just makes the
whole thing that much more real. But the second thing
(11:45):
I keep thinking about is that this guy didn't I
believe it when when he says and his family says
and people around him, but he did not ever think
it would be him. So he went into this thing.
And he's a cardinal and that's a big deal. I mean,
that's that's an appointment by the pope. It's a big deal.
Like he did not think going into that thing that
thirty six hours later he would be the pope. And
now he is the pope. And we saw it like
(12:07):
moments after they gave it to him and he walked out,
Like I don't know what the freak must go through
your mind? Yes, you know when you're like, oh, oh,
I'm that guy. Oh it's me, Like, it's just I
don't know, that's crazy. I don't know if at some
point you wake up and like freak out, because it's
a lot of obviously a lot of responsibility. You're in
charge of all of these parishioners, you're in charge of Arguably,
(12:28):
I believe the Catholic Church is one of the biggest
businesses in the worldly. It has more real estate than
anybody else. I mean, a lot of money, a lot
of responsibility, and that just happened, and he already had
an important job, but he wasn't the pope, right, so
I mean he was part of deciding who got to
be a bishop, which is a big deal. But still
like hem.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
And even for like a non believer, if you're not
into it, it's insane.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
He would dress up as the pope and make his
siblings play pope with him when he was little.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Like he's only ever one of that.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
There's gotta be something greatter than him, you know, pushing him.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Who what little kid?
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I mean, I know your grandma.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Al right, well yeah, my nana we used to play church.
Is just for real. I used to be a priest. Yeah,
my nana used to support this game. And we had
like little little bread and we did like I did.
I offered communion and I did, I blessed her, yeah
and uh and then I took a collection. Oh wow,
you kept the money.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, I'm sure you did.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Which is just like the Catholic church actually, but yeah, no,
that that all.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Happened when we talked about that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Literally, I told that story at Nana's funeral because of
course I had to give the eulogy, because I have
to give all the eulogies because I, for some reason,
am the public speaker and I'm not I talk on
the radio. It's very different, people, there's all you get
to do that. Oh, thanks for giving me the hardest
thing ever to do. And so I told that story
and I on the altar at the church, and the
priest looked at me like, I don't know that you
(13:56):
should be telling that story right now where you're standing.
But I do it anyway because you know, my nana
would have appreciated that. So yeah, but no, it didn't
turn out the same way for me. I preside over
this room, which I don't know what that means. No.
I do wear the pope hat most mornings, which you know,
and I make people bow to me and things like that,
(14:17):
but and kiss my hands and things. But other than that,
I don't. I'm not living that life at all. But
none of you have complained. None of you have. I mean,
I haven't wound up an hr nothing. You guys all
seem to be okay with it.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That was part of the job.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But yeah, I wanted one of those Charlemagne that God
alter chairs, but they wouldn't give it to me. They
don't even look comfortable either. What did you call it?
A wedding shower or baby shower chair? Baby chairs?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, and they got rid of them too. No, I
think I bullied him.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah, there's a show in New York that syndicated that
they used to sit in like thrones, which you know.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
And he's called Charlemagne the God.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Well he calls himself that, yeah, right, right right, which is.
Speaker 7 (14:55):
Similar to the pope though someone of them, except he decided, yeah,
that's crazy for him though good should you start referring
to myself as Red the guy and see what happened?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, I'm into it to p and I'm I'm Catholic technically,
not super religious, very spiritual. I have some issues with
the church, you know, ma'am. I love some me some
gay men and women. Yeah, we need a rebrand. But
I am also into history and I'm very into the
pope thing. I want to know the procedures, what goes
on in that room. I'm super into it. I did
(15:31):
consider betting on the new pope. I would have lost.
I did not do it. I thought that was sacriligious
to bet. But I'm I'm very into it too. In
Chicago's such a proud.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
City, so I feel like that being part of it.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Yeah, I feel like he's gonna get and there might
be things that come out or whatever, but I know
he's gonna just get. I think tore up just because
he's an American pope, just.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Because of that that part. Are they already I saw?
Speaker 5 (15:51):
I think what station did this, But they were dragging
him or at least you know, yeah, because he uh
spoke in Italian and Latin. I believe in his very
first speech. To speak Italian in Italy is a crazy concept.
I doesn't understand. They were like, why is he doing
in English? He's American, like he should have done in English,
but he's in Italy.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
No nouanely like on the vibe of whatever thinks of America.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
The clip Yeah, I was like, my neck was like twisting.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
I was like, but he's also in Italy and he
can speak Italian.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
He's lived in Peru and he's lived in Italy I
think longer or the same amount of time that he's
lived in the United States. So you know, he's he's
many things. He's a Peruvian citizen. I mean, he could
have gone up that they speak Spanish, and he could
have gone up there and spoken Spanish if he wanted.
But I think it's tradition to speak Italian, and that's
what he did, which is amazing because that means he
(16:44):
had to learn how to speak Italian.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
He languages.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
But you're right, Caitlin, if he goes up there and
does hey, hey, what's up y'all, Yo, big flex on
the po all of a sudden, Oh really, Oh so
we're gonna do all this in English now, because apparently,
you know, and I hate to say this, but a
lot of Americans believe the whole world should speak English
and cater to us, and I think the issue so
I'm glad that he didn't do that, but.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I just thought that was, Yeah, you're in Italy. It's
it's okay, you can speak Italian. Like, I have no
issue with that.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I go off, let's go, like, what are you doing.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I also kind of wonder, not to get political about it,
but there is obviously a lot of division in the
United States. I kind of wonder if he was like
a safe choice because he's American, but he's kind of not,
you know, because he's he's worldly, but he's American. But
but he's he would he's relatable to Americans in a
way that we've never had. And so was it strategic
(17:36):
in some ways? Like, well, he can appeal to some
of that division, he can appeal to some of those
Americans and maybe drive unity because you know, like it
or not, we are a power in the world and
there's a lot of dissension right now. So I don't
know if maybe that was part of the deal, Like, well,
he's not going to offend anybody because he's not, you know,
standing up there eating a hamburger speaking in English. But
he's also he also has the ability to influence Americans
(17:59):
and be relatable to Americans in a way that in
the two hundred and sixty seven pups we've never had.
So I wonder if they if they put that much
thought into it or not. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I think it was strategic in that way.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I do.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I think it's I does think it's like a fuck
you to the world.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I do not even a fuck you, maybe like a
like I think America right now is very problematic no
matter where you stand. I think there's just everyone's got
issues left right up down side design, Everyone's got their
own whatever issues with whatever it might be. And I
think he's kind of maybe like you said, maybe it's
a peacemaker of some sort.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Also maybe he's well is not an FU then well.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Not an f you. I don't want to say few yeah,
that's not the only thing to say, not a fuck you.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I think I think it's like the world needs ye
needs an influence over this part of the world, and
I think that you know, this reflects that. Yeah, that's
but maybe it's not even that intentional. I don't know,
you don't think so, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
I also read that he might or I don't know
how true this is that he's not very left, very right,
which I think a lot of any sense before this
radio too. I think a lot of people are truly
just like in the middle. I think people just want
like affordable housing, but they also want like equal rights,
and I think that's kind of where he.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
From the looks of it.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
He might stand there, right, and I think the world
needs that.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
That's hot time.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I do think it's crazy that there's so much division
in our country because you have to be aligned. It's
impossible for people to believe that you could in fact
be moderate and that you could in fact believe in
some of what some persons saying and some of what
another person saying. With the two party system, you got
to pick the one that you think is more likely
(19:30):
to deliver the things that are most important to you. Sadly, sadly,
you know, we haven't had great choices. But that's interesting
because I do think the vast majority of people are
right down the middle, which is why it's so hard
for me to understand why nobody represents that who's running
for office. Why because I think that person would win
by a landslide. And I think maybe those people have tried.
(19:53):
But if you don't fit into one party or the other,
then you're not going to get promoted to that level.
You know, you can't be there's every I don't think
there's been an independent president because there's no backing behind that.
So anyway, I wish I kind of wish we get
rid of the parties because it's like, how about we
just vote for the best person? And I love that
well because it's like, say what you want about Trump.
A lot of people hate Trump, but he he says
(20:16):
he believes in shit that Republicans believe in, even though
I don't believe that, but he says that because like
do I he My understanding is he leans far more
in the direction of pro life than he does pro choice.
That guy is pro choice through and through, Come on, come,
and he's real. And I don't know this for a fact,
but my guess is he's okay with with with having
(20:40):
that option on the list. My guess would be not
I don't know this for a fact, but I would
guess that. But that's not what we get him the
vast majority of Republican votes in his opinion, So he
says this, but he believes that the guy's a Democrat,
I mean, or he's a moderate. I don't even know
what Democrat or Republican is Republican is anymore. But anyway,
my point is people say what they have to say
(21:01):
to get one or the other party to support them
to rise to the top, because that's the only way
you're gonna get the votes. But we don't really know
where anybody actually stands because we're catering to this party
system and unless you're a Republican or a Democrat, then
you're not gonna get enough votes to win. So we
don't really know who we're dealing with.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, truly, And how you said, like Haave was like
and this is different, but like a comparison that I
see as like how he's like, well he's a person.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Like why are we, you know, like being fans of
his or whatever?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
And that's why I feel with like our politicians, it's
odd to me that we're like rocking merch and having
signs like just vote who you think is best, Like
why is it's like they're rock stars now, Like we're
very much like idolizing them as if they are our
favorite artist. And I just think that's a little odd.
I mean, you could be proud of who you vote for,
(21:48):
but we need the merch.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And the signs and the no it's a lot, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
You know, I would love to, like in our lifetime
just have somebody running for you know, president or whatever
that for the office and just like being someone who
truly can say both things and not be okay, you know,
to be like, hey man, I want less crime, but
you know what I want y'all millennials to buy houses
and I have to like go into death for rest
of your life or student loans like access to healthcare,
(22:12):
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Like I don't know, maybe I'm crazy lady over here.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
But I just feel like it's being twenty twenty five
and we never really had that option. Is wild to
me because I just want somebody who represents, like especially
what I want, because neither really ever did. I don't know,
like obviously, like you know whatever, but I just I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I want somebody who represents me.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I think common sense, though, even in itself, is hard
for people because it sometimes means that some of the
stuff that has to be done people don't want to
acknowledge has to be done. You Know, what I find
when I hear people talk about politics oftentimes is that
oftentimes is that they want a bunch of stuff and
then they want a bunch of other stuff, and those
things are not possible in unity, Like you can't have both.
(22:55):
You know. It's it's, well, I want safer streets, but
lower taxes. You know, let's do fund the police. But
why is it so dangerous to you know, I don't know,
and I'm just making this up that this is not
my perspective, but it's like I want this and that, okay,
but you know I want this, but then I don't.
I don't want that. It's like, well, but unfortunately, I
think that is tied to that. So we have to
(23:16):
make choices, right like, and some of the choices that
are the people would have to make are not always
nice choices. And I think that's where people get in trouble.
Is it's like, well, but because I don't know that
That's what I find, at least when you start talking
to people who who quote unquote different, it's like, no,
we agree on most things. I think we disagree maybe
on how we go about doing it or the sacrifices
(23:36):
we're going to have to make to get there, because
some of it it just flat out doesn't sound nice,
you know, in order to cut this or do that
to get here. Nobody wants to do that part, but
they want the end result. And it's so then and then,
and then then you're of then people get villainized because
well you want that and I want this, But then
we it's just it's a fucking disaster. So I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Hopefully the Pope will save it all.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I think so, well, you know, he's one of us.
He's one of us. He's probably been to Danny's Pizza.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Oh for sure, Southsider Danny's Pizza, his.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Brothers, he's probably been there.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
He was substituting with Saint Rito. He probably drove do
on Pulaski.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
He's probably been that white castle that's under the runway, Yeah,
sixty third, right there under the approach. He's probably been there.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
He's been in the drive through.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, I know, I think so, and then he's probably
had the same I mean, he's the pope now, so
he probably doesn't get the same stomach rumblings that we get.
I would imagine now he could eat whatever he wants
and like he doesn't shit his pants, especially with all
the white and stuff. But like that's another thing. The
white we're happen to wear white all the time would
really concern me.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Yeah, oh yeah, I'm a mask.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, I say, yeah, And how do they have clothes?
I'm still amazing they had closed. It fit him right away,
Like how did they get closed that fast? That fit him?
You know how? Yeah, right upstairs? Right, yeah, he delivered.
That's wild to me. Though, do you think my final
pope thing, do you think he believes it? Like, do
(24:59):
you think that he like, do you think he believes
that in the course of a day or two that
now God, I mean, and you said it before, like
if you're religious, you believe you're talking to God, praying
to God anyway, and that there's a lot of people
believe that there's a dialogue going on, even if it's not.
You know, like you and I are talking right now,
But like, do you think it's set in for him
(25:19):
like oh wow, Oh so I am the extension of
God on earth. That's me wow, because a couple of
days ago, I was just a dude, right, and now
I'm that Like I don't know, like does that ever
really set in? Because I don't know that I could
ever really convince myself I was that important. I'm too
self deprecating. I know, I'd be like, no, I'm the
same piece of shit I was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
He probably is like, oh, well, because they say like
God talks to them as they're through the voting process
or however it works. I mean, to me, I'm picturing
sorority recruitment. But they all say that like they're getting
a message. So I he probably is just like, well,
if they think I'm the.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Guy, and then whatever messages I'm getting must be the message, right,
I guess.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
I mean, I don't see him as becoming like, you know,
an egomaniac and being like yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Then remember in Conclave, and again it's a movie. I
don't know if it's real, but John Lithgow's character he
said he was one of the cardinals up for it,
and he said, well, I spoke to God last night.
It's like, well, is he telling the truth or is
he in the movie he was not honest or that
character wasn't honest. But it's like, do we believe him?
Are we supposed to believe him? Is he the guy?
And we're missing it? Like I don't. The whole thing
(26:24):
to me is a little mysterious, and I guess we'll
never really have those answers.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
But it's a quick voting process.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well, I guess it's very arduous and long. Not arduous,
that mean, I guess it's in long. It takes an
hour and a half for each vote, and you don't
have a phone. There's no way to distract yourself. Oh
so you have to read like prayers and tally along.
And I don't know, maybe they I think they probably
all want it to be efficient because then they don't
have to sit there all day, you know what I mean,
and do that over and over again. I'm not saying
(26:51):
that they pushed it, but I mean I'm sure that
if they could come to a consensus quickly, that's good
for everybody. Plus I guess the food sucked.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
The Archbishop or whatever he is of New York, a
Dolan guy. He was cardinal Dolan. He was like, I'm
They asked him, like what was the food like, and
he was like, I'm glad it's over, which is not
very nice to all the nuns that had to make
it for you. No Italy. I didn't realize you could
have shitty food in Italy. I don't seem possible, That's
what I'm saying. I couldn't have a little pasta lady like,
how can this? How bad can this be?
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Well, those nuns are probably trying to speed up the process.
They probably like, I have to clean and yeah, all
this crowd.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I was surprised to hear that, though. He was like,
oh yeah, I was glad it was over. The food
wasn't you know? He was implying the food wasn't great.
I'm like, oh, I don't know. Can't we cater it?
Like right, yeah, right, you know elevated hospital food? Come on,
let's do it. All right? Well? Wow, we talked politics
kind of, We talked religion. All the things we're not
supposed to do. We did. I think we swore a
(27:45):
little bit. We talked about you know, dipshits that stick
stuff in the in the charging port of their computers
to try and burn the school down. Yes, you know
what the thing about that? That would my mom. I'd
come home and be like, hey, mom, I stuck a
paper clip in my charging thing on my laptop and
burned it. She'd be like, great, now you don't have
a computer. Oh great. Yeah, she'd be like, you better
(28:06):
figure out to wait, here's god, there is shut up man. Right.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
My mom would stick something right in my charging for
it. It broke my computer.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Wow, she was so pissed.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Those are expensive.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
No, my mom would be like, how are you gonna
pay for that? Right, That's what she was saying to
me anyway. All right, well I'm dying now. It's enough
talking for today. There's the tan to have a good day.
