The Prophecy of the Coke-Addled Pope

In 1884 Pope Leo XIII had a vision. A terrible vision. He overheard a conversation between God and the Devil about the destruction of the Catholic Church and the horrors of the 20th Century. Was this vision real? Or was it a product of his love of cocaine wine and some present-day political factors?

Old school Florida Panther shirt.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
He's been, He's been very proud of it. He's jumped
ship on his hometown team. Yeah, and he's now Florida Dan.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
What's the point of loyalty?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
This doesn't pay, especially in sports that certainly, Why am
I investing time in a bad team or team that
has no chance in winning, especially for like the last
decade hit your college football team?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
No thanks? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's dumb. Let's all go
be I don't want to you know how to state fan,
so let's all go be tech. I don't want to
be a Texas fan. I don't know. I'll find a
good one. I'll find a good one. There's some. There's
some that are like to the cross is too heavy
to bear. I can't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's also low effort. I'm not gonna actually like check
in on what their offseason moves are.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
You check the standings once a month.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I just want to wear cool swag.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, and that's cool logo, some solid shit.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
I might honestly, we didn't miss in the nineties. I
might just only wear exclusively nineties sports gear.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Really, just stick to Florida and you're good too. Florida
was crushing in the nineties. The Devil Rays, the Devil Rays,
the Teal Marlins, I mean just beautiful, the magic Shack Magic.
I mean we're talking gorgeous.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
I can only think of really one better logo in
the NBA, And so Charlotte Hornets.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
The Hornet drilling the basketball.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
No better starter jacket than the Charlotte Hornet.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
I feel like that type of jacket you would get
beat up for in grade school, not because they were.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Like people would want to steal it.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, So you wear that. It's
a it's a risk, but you look good. I had one.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
In fact, Wait, isn't speaking of the Philly abandonment. Isn't
that what Mac is wearing in the episode where they're all.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Wear they're probably high.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, he's absolutely wearing like a neon starter. I swear
to god, it's a hornets.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Everyone wanted their hands on it.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
A lot of Larry Johnson fans in the nineties. Plus
they had Muggsy Bogues. Yeah, so it was Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's a better nineties were just a better time they were.
There was a peak of like not just America, but humanity.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
You know why I like the nineties, especially before we
get on topic here, is that people didn't call me sir.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
How many times have you gottensurd about one hundred times?
Last night?

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I'm okay with sir. So we had people you're not
getting hit with Boss?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well, Boss is I think the most disrespected meaning yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
The younger generation seems to gravitate the Boss. Every time,
you know, I'm getting my coffee or I'm at the
gym checking in, somebody hits me with like thanks Boss.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, Like it's what you tell like an old man,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
To make him I would never hit anyone with Boss.
I want to like fight on site.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
To make him feel strong. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
He's like, I just won't my bag or here you go, boss.
You're killing it, dude, and then he just walks away.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
You're like, fuck you, guy's get a die to. I
gotta swing on you. Yeah you drop boss me, I'm swinging.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
We had people over.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
My aunt and uncle and my cousin and her boyfriend
over last night because my sister was in town for
uh food and then they hang out with the kids
and stuff like that. And my cousin is twenty and
she brought her boyfriend who is also twenty and he's.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
A good, good Southern little frat boy. I liked him
a lot, but.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Retter of me and myself back in the day.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
He did not know. He's much better looking and cooler, tanner, taller. Yeah, no, no, no,
I didn't. In no way was I reminded of myself.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I accidentally opened the bathroom door, so I got a
glimpse of his hog.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's what the cameras are for. It is the amateur hour.
My worn't production.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Even that, you know, no deficiencies, but he was.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
He just kept be like, oh, yes, sir, yes, sir, oh, yeah,
totally sir, yes, sir, oh, no, thank you.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Sir, like if I for my drink or something like that.
It was painful.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, despite your appearance with the backwards hat, you are
forty thirty nine, but yeah forty for all, just excepted. Man,
my body's breaking down too, I'm joining it. I was
just like, God, damn it, I'm becoming the old guy
at the gym.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
You are the old.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Guy that there's a older guy. You hang sack now, No,
not yet.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's like.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Corpse level at the gym.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
I can't wait to do it.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Okay, I've you have to be at least sixty to
just you know, hang sack the entire time.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, just sack over the bench.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh it's got to drip on the bench.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, it's just gonna man, I don't even go to
a gym, and I will join a gym when I
try just to hit.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
The sauna, to do that sauna, steam room, hot tub
and then droopy balls on the bench. Yeah, well today
I think that's the old man's cycle at the gym.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
It is the workout. Have the workout is just picking
your balls up because they're so heavy.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, it's that's really all it is. Gets that core
strengthen you got a lift with your legs, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Just not giving a fuck is the workout.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, today we have a topic that is slightly related
to modern times.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
We've really only done a lot of modern episodes recently,
have not really except for the Patreon pitch on dot
COM's Last Software History, where we've done some ancient stuff. Yeah,
the main feed has really just been a lot of
you know, two hundred years.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
This is another one, but it's relevant.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Which he used to uh chastise me and me and
Jake for doing.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Sometimes you're on a crunch to write and you got
to just take the best one you've got in your
list and not do a deeper dive into like the
look I did it. I did a deep dive on
this episode.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
But like a lot of times, if I have more
runway to write, i'll be I will read around for
like hours and to find something interesting. But today I
was like, I gotta go off my prelist that I
just like stack shit.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Into to like when I when I need a topic.
But since it's war on the horizon walls upon us,
maybe probably not, or you know it's a one off,
probably not.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, I grew up my entire speaking of the nineties,
my entire childhood, Like I swear to God once a year,
it's like Bill Clinton bomb to Rack again. It was
a constant because there's like a no fly zone or
some shit. But today we're talking about a pro.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
See of war.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
From from this is a this is a we're getting
it from both ends here, this is a DP modern
times equivalent. Here from Pope Leo Oh the thirteenth. Okay,
on October thirteenth, eighteen eighty four, another prophecy of the popes.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, Pope Leo had a vision, a doc vision, a
troubling vision, the build up.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
The anticipation.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
So Leo for those who don't know Leo the fourteenth,
the current pope specifically picked his name because of Leo
the thirteenth, because of who Leo the thirteenth was. So
there's a direct reason, direct line from the thirteenth to
the fourteenth. So Leo the thirteenth was well known as

(07:57):
like an intellectual pope, very very sciencey pope, and he
was a bit of a reformer in terms of like
we need to put the Catholic Church in the lens
of modern times, like we need to address modern problems
if you remember it all, what's going on in eighteen
eighty four. It's the Gilded Age.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
We're in.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Modern problems require modern solutions, modern Catholicism.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, it's the Gilded Age.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
The industrial Revolution is fully I mean it's almost over
at this point because everyone's industrialized and you've got a
bunch of shit going on, like workers' rights. Obviously we
talked about that in the anarchist episode. That was a
big thing the anarchists were in on, was workers' rights,
fair wages, safe working conditions, unions for the factory.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
The union man. Yeah, your dad would have loved Pope
Leo the thirteen. Maybe.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I don't know if. I mean he was a part
of the union. I don't know if he ever enjoyed it.
Really roaded for the union, like when they went on
like he wasn't, you know, blowing up the rat right
he was just like with the picket signs.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Would rather just be at work right now, this is
fucking terrible.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
He didn't have a smartphone until like three years ago.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
God bless that man, because.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
The union only like supplied flip phones the unit.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
He was probably forced to sit up for.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, like paid dues into they're like, congratulations on your job.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Now, this is your taxes, this is your union taxes.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
But I do like kind of like a low level
guy that runs his own fight them. Yeah, that's what
a union is, like a union boss, a boss tweety
yeah type.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
He's he's almost like a like a feudal lord, like
a minor one.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, he has his own little
fife them.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, and he runs it with an iron fish.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
He does not my dad. Obviously, my dad's a pond.
But right, right, right, your.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Dad is that would be is that as a biography title,
the reluctant.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Pond, the pond that would go forward?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Let's go all right?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Fine, So pop Leio was really in on making sure
the Catholic Church was getting involved in these new emerging things.
But he was not like socialist or whatever he was
because he hated communism because obviously communism and socialism were atheists, so.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Can't have that.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
So he did reaffirm Essentially, he did not like he
was anti socialist. He affirmed the rights to property and
free enterprise, but he was also against both socialism and
what was really going off at the time. Socialism didn't
really start bucking until the twentieth century. But what was
really going off at the time, which we always also

(10:46):
love to talk about, which is just no rules capitalism.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, like put the babies in the factory. They yearned
for the minds. Yeah yeah, I mean you have those
photos of the Chimney sweep beer that are about four
years old. It because I can get in those small
little crevices and climb up.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
My favorite picture, one of my favorite historical pictures of
all time. We should probably have it like in our
header is it's from Saint Louis, of course, and it's
these three newspaper boys. I mean the oldest one has
to be ten, and they're just ripping heaters.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
They should be. And then American tobacco.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
What's funny is like they're doing like you see a
picture like that, and then you'll see people be.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Like, why do kids look so much younger nowadays? Is
it a hormone problem?

Speaker 3 (11:27):
It's like, no, look at these fuckers two packs a day,
working in the sun.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
But you need that filterless cigarette.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I need that nicotine. It's a new tropic keeps you up.
You're doing seventeen eighteen hour shifts. Yeah, that might be
why we look younger today? No sleep, Yeah, there you go. Sorry,
they cared about grind culture back then.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
You go, look at that quarterback. Who's that picture.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
There's the other one, like the quarterback who's younger than me.
He's like thirty seven for the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, he looks fucking eighty.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
It's a better time. Although, like we said, the preservatives
and the food are preserving us microplastic and.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Keep you young. People don't realize this, and people are like, oh,
they hurt your fertility.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Wrong, My loads are fine and I am as full
of microplastics as anyone.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, my tea is fine, dude. Yeah, it's something like
the seven hundreds right now.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
It's called evolution. Just you know, keep your gains up.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, if the people who get hurt by microplastics are
not evolutionarily meant to continue their blood lug.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
No.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
So another interesting thing Leo did, and you're gonna like
this one. He wanted the knowledge the church had to
go out more into the public as well, so he
opened to the Vatican's secret archives.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Okay, I like this to researchers.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Didn't go to God's prison cell.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
No, kept that. Well, some secrets are meant to be secret.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, for those who don't know, can't unravel everything. We
have a theory, working theory. We believe wholeheartedly that God
has chained up beneath the Vatican with silver, a.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Silver cage you can't get out.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, very Magneto style.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
But he's not like Magneto's serenely playing chess like he's
a raging beast. I think like King Kong in the ship,
you know what I mean, just furious wants to get out.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
But there's also some type of device that's taken power
from God, yes, like from his.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Head, also his chest, powering the Vatican.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
It's honestly power in Europe at this point.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Weirdly, it's not clean energy.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
No, no, it's only coal, he would think.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
But God runs on a coal furnace.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
But you know they spin it into electricity right right,
then it becomes green.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
So he also founded Leo did the Vatican Observatory to quote,
so that everyone might see clearly that the Church and
her pastors are not opposed to true in solid science.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
They were transparent, whether human or divine for like three years. Yeah,
So he wanted he wanted the papacy to seem modern.
He wanted to seem friendly with science because obviously there
was a couple hundred years where the Vatican was not
super stoked on someone being like the Sun, I think
is the sent through of the solidar system, you fucking idiot.

(14:18):
It's the Earth. Everything revolves around us, the Earth and
the turtle. It rides on you. Peace all the way down. Yeah, yes,
you motherfucker, and we will kill you if you say otherwise. Dude.
You know what doing that accent reminded me of right now?
You know my you know, my bitch wife said to
me last night? What your bitch wife said I was doing?

Speaker 2 (14:42):
I was taught we were talking about F one weekend
in Austin, because I was telling the two kids that
were there about like, just going out in Austin.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
It's gonna be interesting this year with all the Persians.
Yeah yeah, oh no, don't go out that weekend.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Be on high alert in Austin. But I was saying, like,
what are they about it?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
I was just like, it's funny, hot, like going out
and on an F one weekend because Austin's like sort
of like a fun bar town.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
You know, people are like, hey, people are friendly, but
like f one weekend, you get like Russians in there
and they're like, give me a vodka, buttle of buttle
of vodka, not deep. You'll pretty one with vodka, you know,
pretty sure. Don't send men with Vodko that sud man
sad man work a bar. Where's this going? I did

(15:28):
that voice and my aunt was like, I can't believe
he just went into that voice. That's so good.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
And Courtney was like, is it any type of compliment
you received just immediately crushed it?

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yep? That's like what's wrong with you?

Speaker 3 (15:43):
If you're with somebody for so long? All those you know,
things that initially attracted you to them, or you know,
maybe you thought were funny at first. Uh, they become
the bane of ear existence.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah. Yeah, I just wanted to I just looked at
her like, this is all I got. This maybe laugh
years ago, this is all I got. This is the
only talent I have in this world, mediocre accents that
I do all the podcasts. How you can say that
to me?

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Come on, now, you're second guessing yourself.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
I have all the confidence is gone, all of it.
I don't know if I'm being able to do that.
Three hundred voice for the next sketch. No, no faith, it's.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Like this, this check right here pays for our mortgage kind.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Of like kind of so yeah, Leo, he moved the
church back into the mainstream.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
They're kind of flagging as things got very modern in
the nineteenth century. He was also considered a great diplomat,
improved relations with Russia, Germany, France, Britain. And this is
fun and apropos of maybe nothing or maybe maybe apropos
of what happened. Maybe it influence would happened. I don't know,
but uh. Leo was a big fan of cocaine wine.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
You know, it's a modern spin on old school delight,
like lead wine. Yeah, that's ancient as it gets.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
He loved it.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Was a coke infused wine tonic, so it was like
a wine cooler with cocaine in it.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Cocaine was in everything back then, medicine.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, but he loved it. He loved just sipping on
cocaine wine.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Obviously, who's gonna have a bad time on cocaine wine.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
In fact, he loved cocaine wine so much that he
awarded a Vatican Gold medal to the wine's creator, Angelo Marianni.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
We don't know about this man. He doesn't get enough credit.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
What Leo no Angelo the creator of cocaine. That's actually
true and this is my favorite part. Pope Leo the
thirteenth appeared in an advertisement for the cocaine.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Wine Let's go Baby. He's just like, yeah, I'm so productive.
Ye know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I've done more for Jesus in a month then any
other Paul pass.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
What if we just start aside business? You know, what
if we just do that? You know, we have the
Vatican here, that's like obviously our main gig. We do that,
and then we uh, you know, maybe we uh we
set a bar. We have our own bar, dude in church,
and they gotta buy it all the church gotta buy it. Dude,
We're gonna break it in to it's church and then
a bar. And then you know, after you go to church,
then everyone meets at the bar, and then they also
spend the money there. Then we collect it and then

(18:26):
we put it into the church, and it's just kind
of this revolving cycle.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Come what you like, you like it. I don't know, man,
let's just do Maybe we should just focus on church.
People aren't going as much. No no, no, no, do we
get a back, then we get a back faking do
it in the fucking pope.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
So all of this is to say leading up to
this that the pope, this pope is I guess two things,
addicted to cocaine, uh, but also also a very modern, intellectual,
grounded type of thinker.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Right, dude always has a bag on him.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
He sprinkles it in a bottle of of he's just
sipping it with his with his sermons. But there's like
a this is not a pope who is necessarily like
a like into mysticism or what like. He's a modern guy. Right,
So then we come to the vision.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Just love the uppers who does it? And honestly, on
that job you run. If you're running a country and
you're not on uppers, you're probably doing a horrible job
running that country. Well you're you know in Latin America. Well,
but they're definitely on upper, not all of them.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
So all right, Caribbean then I guess yeah island time.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah no, no Jamaican president has ever been on an
upper in his life.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Ah, we get to it when we do.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, like okay, but look around, hey man, we're not
an important place it's fine, it though, her. We just
take the doors of money.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
This road hasn't been built for fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
And all the materials that were four building the road
are now blocking the road.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
They're spread from all the hurricanes.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's a really bad day, man. It's okay, Like I
got myself some rum I gotta imagine though, like South America,
like Javier Malay is gassed out of his mind.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Also, if you're offended by my Jamaican accent, I'm doing
a chet Hanks impression, you're.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Doing the chet Hanks impressive. Like chet Hanks is Jamaican accent.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, okay, I mean I can't do Jamaican, So I'll
just toss that there right now. White boys some uh yeah,
it's not like Chetthanks, not like a Jamaican.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I think I nailed it. Yeah. So again, this.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Pope not amistic, pretty intellectual guy, very science y all
this stuff. So when the Pope one day on October
thirty teenth, eighteen eighty four, had just finished celebrating a
private mass in the Vatican Chapel that was attended only
by a few cardinals and a few members of the
Vatican staff. This is not a public mass, he suddenly

(21:16):
stops at the foot of the altar, and he stands.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
There because of this vision.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yes, he stands there his prophecy for ten minutes. He's
in a trance. His face has gone ash and white.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Have you ever been in a trance? Has a trance
ever just suddenly hit you?

Speaker 1 (21:35):
No, I've never, ever, ever been in a trance.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
It's because you're not in the five D bro.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
No, I don't pick up those wavelengths, and I don't
want to pick up those wavelengths.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
It would be honestly terrifying.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, what do you want to just hear other demes
like accidentally see another dimension.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
I got stuff to do, mant a time and a
little worker aunt. I don't have time for this shit.
Don't bother me with this.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
People that are like severely autistic are in multiple dimensions.
That was so like when they're talking to no one
in particular, they're actually talking to somebody else in.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Their condimensionally with a fifth dimensional being or a different time.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Okay, because time is not linear obviously, it's all stacked
on the top of each other.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
I'm gonna go with No, that's my personal opinion. I
believe it.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I know you do, and I respect that you believe it.
I'm not going to challenge that belief.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
It makes sense, Like, who else are they going to
be talking to?

Speaker 1 (22:27):
They're probably bored by all of us. Yeah, So he
stands there for ten minutes, face white as fuck, and
those in the church he seemed to be staring at something.
They don't know what though.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Then he collapses and falls into what they thought was
a coma, just goes unconscious. But apparently, according to Leo
later or whatever, it was mystical ecstasy. Maybe he was
an artist, he got yanked fully into the fifth dimension.
Or maybe his heart stopped from so much cocaine.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Yeah, it could just be the coke, Just so much
powder in the room.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Just the insight. What do you I forgot? You call
it a little swinging incense thing.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
But full of cocaine. Yeah, just all fill in.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Everybody's just like.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
I get some more.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
That mass is sweet. Actually, I can't think of a
worse thing than being at Mass on cocaine.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
You'd want everything to kind of speed up. I get
the homilie, Yeah, get the pointed.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I got a big good, big good, big good, big good,
big good wine wine wine. I need to slow down,
Get me some wine.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Cracker, please.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
So those standing by rushed to his side, and they
found him alive. But Pope look scared. Pope looked troubled
by what he had seen and heard of what is
to come there? You get him up, and they're like,
your holiness, your holiness, what happened? What happened? Are you okay?

(24:05):
Oh you okay?

Speaker 2 (24:06):
The Pope just fucking gets up, shoves them all off
of him, just stiff arms him off, and runs to
his office, runs out of the chapel, straight to his
office and composes the prayer to Saint Michael.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
This is office a bit of a man cave.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I don't know what the Pope's office looks like. I
hope it's like a sweet office, like on a top
floor of something.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
But I feel like, I hope this leo has like
signed White Sox jerseys.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
He definitely there's a Frank Thomas. Do you think Frank
Thomas is low key sending him his product?

Speaker 3 (24:40):
He's got black Hawks game use sticks overhead?

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Is he you think he's a hockey guy? Oh?

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yeah, if you're a White Sox they won three cups.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, if you're a White Sox fan, you're definitely like
on the trashier side, which means you're which.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Means you're a hockey fan. Yes, yeah, yeah, Leo I
think is a black Hawks fan. If he was a
Cups fan, I don't think he would be. But since
he's a white Sox fan, yes.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, Well, if he's a Cubs fan, he's at best
a black Hawk's casual. But a white Sox fan, Yeah,
that's that's hard scrabble white guy he is. And if
you look, if you saw where he grew up, his
childhood home looks exactly like the home of every single
person in Saint Louis who I've known their entire lives.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Who's a huge Blues fan?

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Just a real working class, post World War two brick
box of a home. Those guys, they spend all their
child support on hockey gear.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Panthers fans, we all have pools.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
In our backyard. Yeah, but that's not impressive for Florida.
Not in Florida. Everyone has a fucking pool, I know,
but you know you still have it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
So he runs in his office from the chapel, shoves
everyone off him, writes the prayer to Saint Michael and
his attendants.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
The whole time. We're like, are you okay?

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Okay, and he's like, I must ride, I must rides
right now. From eighteen eighty six to nineteen sixty four,
this prayer on Leo's orders was recited after low Mass
in the Catholic Church, although not incorporated into regular high.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Mass or whatever. Here's the read you the prayer. Okay,
and you know who Saint Michael is, right, the warrior angel? Yeah? Yeah,
not the bitch angel like Gabriel. No, not the one
who shows up to tell a thirteen year old she's pregnant.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Although Gabriel might be the one that got married pregnant, right.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I feel like Gabriel did the IVF.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
He passed along the message.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Gabriel did the IVF.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
He inserted the god seamen, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
God couldn't be bothered to come down and do it himself.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
He doesn't want to be seen as a pedophile.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
No, no, no, let's get the angels do the dirty
work there. I mean, the angels killed the firstborn in Egypt.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
It's fine if she gets pregnant as long as no
one has sex with her. Sam is like, it's this,
It's cool for a sixteen year old to get a
boob job as long as as long as you don't
sexualize there.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, which seems totally possible. Daddy, my Instagram's not growing.
I just need absolute canon titties.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
How was that a thing in like the early two thousands?
For they're super sweet, sixteen, they're just getting fucking cannon.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Dude, even if they're of age.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
I knew multiple girls whose high school graduation present was
a fucking boob job.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
It just, you know, it doesn't seem like something the
parents father.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
I don't have a daughter, but I swear to God
if I did, and my daughter was like, I just
want big fucking titties to celebrate my education.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Like I want my shirts to fit better. No, what
do you mean? No, that just seems like a purchase
you know a woman should make with her first paycheck.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah yeah, instead of framing it, putting it in your office,
work for it, frame it on your chest. You shouldn't
be you know, handed titties. You should have to earn them.
You should have to earn the titties. I agree.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
So this is the this is the prayer. Saint Michael
the Archangel defend us in battle. Be our protection against
the wickedness. And snares of the devil. May God rebuke him.
We humbly pray and do thou, o, Prince of the
Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell
Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about
the world seeking to ruin, seeking the ruin of souls.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Amen.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
So he writes that prayer after his vision. That prayer
is then said at Mass for the next eighty years.
When asked what happened, they still don't know what happened,
by the way, so they're like, he writes this prayer
and they're still just like, what the fuck happened to you?

Speaker 3 (28:31):
I didn't really explain the vision.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Well, we'll get into it now.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
But he did all of this before explaining to anyone
what happened. So when asked, he explained that as he
was about to leave the foot of the altar Leo,
the thirteen suddenly starts hearing voices. Sure, now, actually, I
didn't look this up. And can cocaine yes on schizophrenia.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
LSD, LSD brings on all the schizophrenia.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Studies have shown drugs, particularly cannabis, cocaine, elis, and amphetamines,
can increase the risk of developing schizophrenia, and it also
can significantly impact individuals who are genetically predisposed or otherwise
vulnerable to the condition.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
So the Pope started to believe he was a glass
of orange shoes, and if you tipped him over he
would die.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
No, it would be funny if, like someone you're talking
about the classic he did so much lsd he thought
he was orange juice.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
It'd be funny if someone was like, yeah, whatever, Kyle,
and then like pushed him over and he died, not
even just died. His shoulders pop off and all his
inners just spill out.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
All the blood just pours and fills the streets. But
oh he's right again.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Oh my god. I guess we should have believed him.
It's his body, he knows better than us.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Or he has the ability and the superpower to just
smash through walls like the kool aid man.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Also that they do. I don't get that ability. He's
made of glass, I know, but he can do it.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Makes those Yeah, it's going through brick wall.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
So Leo heard two voices, one kind and gentle, the
other guttural and harsh, and they seem to come from
near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following
conversation between the devil and God. They do have some

(30:27):
back and forth. It's a very job esque conversation, right,
they gambled. Satan was like, hey, I bet you if
you fucked that guy's life up, who won't believe in
you anymore? And God is like, bet that just killed
his kids, Yeah, killed his livestock.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
The devil's the bad friend for God.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, God's fine. And then the devil like, imagine you
have like a super rich friend and he's a normal guy.
He likes to drink, but he's like a normal guy.
And then there's this one piece of shit friend who's
also in the friend group who's constantly encouraging him to
do horrible things.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
With this money.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
But he has a boat and he's fun.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, that's that's the devil in God. So Satan says,
I can destroy your church seventy five to one hundred
years and a greater power over those he will give
themselves over to my service. And God goes, you can
then go ahead and do so, like to see you try, buddy.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Let's literally He was like, all right, do it, do it.
And then Satan of course, being the greedy little bitch
that he is, goes to.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Do so, I need more time and more.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Power, always moving the goalpost.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Always moving, like immediate goalpost move.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
But I can do it now, okay, all right, what
I mean now? I mean three hundred.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Years seventy five to one hundred was the ty light
he gave. And God's like, okay, then He's like, give
you more power to you. I need more power. And
God's like, God being God, I guess, is like, how
much time? How much power?

Speaker 2 (32:06):
And then Satan says, you know, seventy five hundred years again,
and God says, you will have the time, you will
have the power, do with them what you will. All
what Leo allegedly overhears. God also permitted Satan to choose
a single century in which to do his work, and

(32:28):
Satan chose the twentieth century.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Obviously.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Yeah, so at least Satan wasn't like, oh, okay, let's
go twenty third let's go twenty third century. Y'ahan need
to just like, you know, get my ducks in a row.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I don't think there's humans in like the twenty fourth
or twenty fifth century.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
So but what's even the point of this bet if
they both know that, God's just like, hey, just chill out,
it's almost over.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
They got like too honestly, the twenty third century too. Yeah,
I don't see us making it there. It's just yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
But God as our current form just lee, He's just like,
just leave him alone. We're gonna be synths, gonna be.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Singularity, Singularity. Unfortunately, he chose the twentieth century. And then
God privately revealed the future events of the twentieth century
to Leo.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Okay, so world War one, World War two, not nine
to eleven, that's twenty first century. Yeah, Leo had no
idea about nine to eleven, but he called the two
world wars.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, Kennedy getting his brains blown out, everything fucking China
and the Soviet Union did like bar from bar.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yeah, it's like there will be a Kennedy Yep.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Gotta think he will be addicted.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
To the pussy.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I hope he mentioned like Greg Maddox in there. I
feel like he's a big part of the twentieth century.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
But who knows.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
The Toronto Blue Jays hitting the ninety three.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
The walk off, walk off, that Dave's not Dave Stewart.
Dave Winfield. I think wasn't Winfield. It was Joe Carter.
Fun Yeah, okay, Joe Carter. There you go. I don't
know I thought. I don't know why I thought it
was a Dave.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
It's because your brain slid into another universe.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I was Mandela affected, and actually we're at coming from
it was uh Dave Winfield, And like, so I wasn't wrong.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
I'll just slid dimensions if I wasn't wrong.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
The important thing is I wasn't wrong, and we can
just skip over how I apparently slid through and just
really focus on that I wasn't wrong.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Anyone who I hate them, We've talked changed timelines. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
The easiest way to gaslight somebody is to be like, actually,
in my timeline, that didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Like, all you have to say to that, too is
to be like, oh, interesting, well we're not in your
timeline anymore.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
So fuck you. I don't give a shit what happened
in your fucking timeline.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
We're gonna slide into another timeline where we don't even
have this fight.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, and I'd like to go there right now.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
So he also had Leo also had a vision of
demons being released from Hell, and as the vision ended,
he saw Saint Michael charge in and drive them all
back into Hell.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
So again this happened in eighteen eighty four. Devil said
he needed seventy five two one hundred years.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Michael's a brute. It's just an absolute has He's.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Just there to swing a sword.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Which how does an eyeball swing a sword?

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Probably frighteningly, you're so distracted by the ball of eyeballs
that you don't see the flame, the flaming sword coming
at you. That would be a funny sketch or like
whatever is if, Like I don't know, Like Gabriel was
busy and like Michael had to go deliver the news
to Mary. He's just like a moron, Like all he

(35:43):
does is kill kill things. He's like, oh, hey.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Okay, so so God has his baggage for you. Shit,
I killed Mary and she's dead.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Oh I got this. Look, God gave me this load
for you. You're gonna have to take it. It's gonna suck,
I guess, but it's fine.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
You would think God's load though, would be how they
always talk about Superman and Lois Lane.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah, the conversation.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
He would just blow through her back.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
There's there's no way in physics that he doesn't blow
absolute Yeah, cannon loads.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Under do you?

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Unless they fuck under a red lamp because the red
son is he doesn't have powers under.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Or she has like a kryptonite pussy all a kryptonite
condom could also do it.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
But then he's not getting hard.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
That's true, he's he absolutely If he the kryptonite is
too strong, he won't get he can't get dick.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
So the options are you'll blow off my lower body
or you will be pushing rope.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
No, he's got to get They got to get a
red UV light. They need red UV rays. Okay, that's
that's the only way.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
So if you ever want to know who's fucking Superman,
just look for a bedroom that's bright red light coming
out of it.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
That's kind of a modern health trend going right now.
Was the UV light like red or just any any
red the red room though? Okay, certainly, of course.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Sure, why not?

Speaker 2 (37:08):
So seventy five this is where the Catholics really get
some catholics and you might join in on this. You
know what seventy five years from eighteen eighty four was
seems innocuous, like an innocuous.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Day, right. World War two was the forties. Kennedy wasn't assassinated.
I mean, the Cold War's going.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Ten years before we went to the Moon.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yep, ten years before. Who actually wanted so Union get
their first nuke? Get there, check it out. They never did.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
They never got there.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
They got it in forty nine. Neither was a nine in there. No,
you know what happened in nineteen fifty nine.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Oh, Vatican two. Yep, Vatican two happened. Of course, the
thing that ruined the Catholic Church. He succeeded. He did it.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
One of the first changes to come from Vatican two
was the deletion of the Leonine prayers Leonine is in Leo,
which included the prayer to Saint Michael.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Michael's the inside guy for the demons.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
You think Michael's a double agent? He could be. He
likes killing.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
He's essentially a mercenary. Yeah, he's just doing it for
both the love of the game and he might be
getting paid for it.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
What do you pay him? Silver? It's at the Ethereal
bodega drop in silver.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Just slam a big old silver coin down, a huge one. Hm.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
I like to think I like to hope.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
I like to picture partly because of the haircut that
Michael looks like Javier Bardem and No Country for old Men.
He has a very cherbook haircut in that, Okay, So
that's my Michael.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
To me, Michael's more like Del Toro and Sacario.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Oh high and tight.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
M hm, just real pissed off all the time, silent killer.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Yeah, I love Del Toro.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
So was Vatican two what Popolio was warning against? Was
it was Satan predicting Vatican Two? Or did Satan know
something else about communism or Nazism or anything like that,
or were there more immediate political motives for saying that

(39:36):
the Church was under threat from Satan? Like maybe things
happening in Leo's time?

Speaker 1 (39:43):
What was happening?

Speaker 3 (39:44):
What was the biggest threats of the church in the eighties?

Speaker 2 (39:47):
The Italian government completely occupied and took away the Vatican and.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
The papal states.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
I don't care for that, not one bit.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Equally, they yanked it.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Pope Leo the thirteenth was the first pope I think
maybe ever to not rule over a like sovereign Vatican.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
So the Italian government just fucking yanks it. Uh and
Pope Leo. It's a bold move, I know, right, Pope Leo.
Obviously did the Swiss guards not defend it?

Speaker 1 (40:22):
They didn't do their job.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
The Swiss always stay neutral.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah that's true. Like God, you people are fucking useless.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
So when you actually try to go into conflict with
the Swiss Guard, their auto default is sorry, I cannot
swing this weapon.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
It's actually very.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Easy to kill the Pope because the Swiss Guard's just like, well,
I don't want to take a stance on this.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Yeah, no, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be neutral here.
I'm gonna say, yeah, don't want get it. I don't
want to get involved in this. Seems like a lot.
It's like I paid you to do this, and we'll
keep that in our banks. Yeah, we will take whatever
money comes out of this.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
Certainly, whatever gold you have, I don't care what logos
on it.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Not important. Gold's a soft metal. You can stamp that
out real, easily melded down. Yeah'll be funny. They're too
lazy too.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I mean, there's definitely swastikas on in Swiss banks right now,
gold bars in Switzerland, right Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
So Italy takes the Papal states He was the first
pope ever to not have control over the papal states,
which were dissolved in eighteen seventy. The papal residents at
the Quirinal pop Palace had been converted to King Victor Emmanuel,
the second of Italy's residents. He just took it over,

(41:35):
kicked the pope out. So the Pope was a little
unhappy with what was going on presently with the church.
So it really might not have had anything to do
with Vatican Two.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Maybe it's a call to u rally the banners, you know,
I think kind of another crusade.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Yeah, kind that he.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Wanted like international outcry about the papacy getting Vatican City back.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
Yeah, like all right, let's get you know, all the
Eastern Europeans together, Let's get France.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yeah. Now, you want to know what else is interesting
about this vision?

Speaker 3 (42:15):
No?

Speaker 2 (42:15):
I said earlier that Pope Leo was an intellectual guy,
scientifically minded guy.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
You want to know who. He was a big fan
of Jules vern so much so that he had a
private audience with Vernon and his family, the vern Man. Yeah,
so he liked sci fi, did a lot of cocaine.
He might have just written Dune. Did I know that

(42:47):
Frank Herbert was an insane coke addict? Oh no, I
didn't know that. That's what the spice is.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
You didn't know he was just the whole time he
wrote Dune, he was blasting lines.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
I mean every great writer at that time.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Was so why I've never made it? I gotta start
chopping up lines? Yeah, this Zen's not doing it. No,
but yeah, Jules Verne big fan of him. So he
like sci fi, did a lot of coke. There was
an immediate political problem and maybe he put on a
little show. I don't know if he was into theater

(43:21):
at all.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
It all culminates into this. It makes sense. It adds up. Yeah,
like you know, when you have the different factors coming together,
the random vision makes way more sense.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Also interesting to note just this is just side fun
facts on Leo before we get out of here. A
big fan of America, which is I think another reason
Leo the fourteenth chose his name love that loved America.
He founded the Catholic University of America, which I.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Think is in DC, but I'm not. I believe so
as well.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah it's yeah, it's in Washington, d C. He found
a Catholic University of America.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Which so he just came over on a fucking boat.
I don't know if he ever came to America, but
he founded it. He founded it like a spiritual founder.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
It gave the money for it, I guess. Okay, believe
it or not. American newspapers not a.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Huge fan of that, you don't say.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
The American newspapers criticized Pope Leo, claiming he was attempting
to gain control of public schools in America.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
You know he's got to, I swear to God.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
There is a point in history where it branches off
and Catholicism becomes normalized in America. But there is a
time where things they say about Catholics and things they
still say about Jews are the exact same.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
To a degree.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
But also how it's funny back then even then they're like, man,
they're trying to brainwash your children. Yeah, don't send them
the public.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
School to the public schools, are brainwashing your fucking.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Kids them at home. Yeah, where you'll homeschool your child
and do three times the work as you try to
also do your normal ass job.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
And then the worst thing that will happen to your children.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Is you murder suicide your whole family because you can't
fucking take it anymore?

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Yeah, you don't want school shootings at a homeschool, No.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
You really really don't. Leo wasn't fully pro America, though
he was against.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Was planning for American War and wanted a dick. He
didn't like that the US occupied the Philippines.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Well, I also Spain, big Catholic country.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yeah, exactly, And America was a Protestant country, although now
I think we're mostly Catholic, even though we're still really
kind of a Protestant country. And in nineteen oh two,
he told then American Governor of the Philippines, William Howard
Taft to eat shit because the govern he wouldn't let

(45:54):
the US government buy land from Catholic friars in the Philippines.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Fuck off, fatty, do you think this is our land?
But you gotta think though. Leo was pretty sensitive to
governments taking Catholic land at that point. But yeah, that
is the story of Pope Leo's prophecy for the doom
of the Church that may or may not two.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
That, Yeah, that's what I want to believe.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
That Satan. Vatican two was the devil's work.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
He works in centuries, measured in centuries.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Yeah, but pop Lio had some immediate factors that may
have caused the vision, specifically cocaine and the fact that
the Italian government stole all.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
His land and he's down with sci fi and.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
He's down with sci fi. Yeah, yeah, I like that. Yeah,
so that might have been might have been one of
the reasons as well. Was he Italian himself? Uh let
me see, Actually I don't remember. I mean fucking probably,
I imagine he was. Yeah, if I had to guess, yes,
he was Italian. Damn dude, Why did they take his land?

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Taking his own shit? I think that king was just
a dick. I don't know if it was the king
that was killed by the anarchists or not.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Did you have to pay tribute to the Italian government?

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Yeah, I think they were taxing them. Fuck I think
they were Italian king killed by anarchists.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Yeah. I think they were taxing the shit out of them.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Uh no, No, it was uh Umberto was the guy
before this, So I guess the other guy got in
and was just like fuck everyone.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Interesting. Yeah, but that's all I got today. On the
prophecy of the Coke addled pope like that, What did
you learn today?

Speaker 3 (47:41):
There's so many prophecies of popes. Yeah, we did an
episode on the other one. I forget it was already
we did that on the Patreon though.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Yeah, what'd you learn today?

Speaker 3 (47:52):
I learned that Catholic University was created by an Italian pope.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
To take over our public schools.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Yes, yeah, and to brainwash the children, you know, really
get our fucking roots into the American school system.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Our plans, our plans are measured in centuries, as they say.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
Everyone does that now though you know what you know,
Qatar funds a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Yeah, we'll take money from anybody. Yeah, we don't care.
We just need the public fund and we just need
that fucking money. Who's today's hitler. I'm gonna go with
Vatican too, Just anyone that participated in the Vatican.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Two because church is way lamer I yeah, it's it
has nothing to do with any of like the significant
changes they made. But like in nass stuff, well like Latin,
it's just boring, you know, it's become friendlier.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
I don't like that. I don't I don't like that.
We should be the scary church.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
We should be scary. I should always feel you know,
the brimstone and fire yeap beneath my toes. Gonna actually
do that, like instead of you know, heating the churches
with the traditional heating system underneath the floors should just
be uh yeah, like a portal to hell. Not even

(49:08):
a portal to hell, but just like maybe some coals.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
You want to be.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
You want to be in a Catholic church where you think,
at any given second the statue of Jesus on the
cross at the front can just take its head and
go burn.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
And just look directly.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Yeah, it should be animated to come to life like
a gargoyle. I know you're gonna come after me for
having such you know, white trash TV shows. As a child,
Gargoyle's ruled. Street Sharks ruled. They're bringing back Street Sharks,
and I can't wait for your children.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
To watch it. There's just I won't won't allow.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
I'm gonna give them Street Shark and Gargoyle toys, especially Finn.
Fins seems to be the one that doesn't get anything.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Finn gets a lot hand me down.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Yeah yeah, so he's gonna get his own toys, okay,
and he's gonna be the white trash child. Damn it,
especially as the redhead.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
He was already a red head. Dude. You can't fucking
do that to him. He's gonna grow a mullet. He
already has one, kind of I'm gonna really just kind of,
you know, mold this child into my own. Yeah, I
can tell God, damn it. But yeah, that's all I
got for today.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
I liked it.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Leo, Leo forever man. We have a new Leo.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
I like this Leo.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
I hope the current Leo gets, you know, dabbles with
some some uppers.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Some cokewine. I need to find the advertisement he appeared
in for the coke wine.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
Today's Churchill is the inventor of coke wine.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
It really is. I forgot his name. Marnari. I think
something like that got ruled. He just I liked Angelo Marnardi.
I liked it. He just gave like the Pope was like,
this ship is so good, dude, here's a gold medal.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
How did the Vatican get their land back?

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Uh, it was just given back by the Italian government later,
was it like Mussolini?

Speaker 3 (51:05):
That would be really funny.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Oh, actually, let me check.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
It's like actually he did a really cool thing, gave
the Vatican back.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Yeah, that would honestly win him some Oh my god,
it was Mussolini.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Yes, Benito for the win.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
I think.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Yes, the government of Banino Mussolini formally restored and recognized
the land of the Vatican as an independent sovereign state.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Good Catholic boy.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Yeah, through the Ladder Entreaty of nineteen twenty nine. Well,
I have to rethink a lot about Mussolini.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
Now he ain't get everything wrong. Justice for Benito, Yeah,
we are.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
We ride for Benito Mussolini in this podcast. You know.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
He was a bit of a stick man as well.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
He was. Yes, yes, he was unlike Hitler, who couldn't
fuck anything.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Yeah, fucked everything, laying it down.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
But he's Italian. The Italians in the French is.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Just like yeah, that's just the custom for them.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Yeah, they're just gonna throw down Austrians and Germans, no Brits.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
And no you don't think Stalin was fucking I don't
think not good?

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Yeah does he? Does he seem to you like he
was laying good pipe? Oh no, it's probably efficient. It
was like thirty it was all for him. Yeah, that
guy never went down on one chick in his entire.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Life, No, no fore play going in dry.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Yeah, maybe spits on it, but.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Comes in twenty to thirty seconds.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Yeah, he's done. He's good. He doesn't care. Yeah, he's
not laying good pipe at all. You know who I
think was a very maybe not necessarily a good lay,
but like maybe like Ben Franklin esque at least in
his love of it. It's Churchill.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Just because they're rotund.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Yeah, just two drunken, silly, rotund men.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
Smells like cigar.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Yeah, Like it's not good sex, but he's having he is,
He's wants it all the time.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Some chicks were probably reminded of their own fathers.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, so they're kind of into it. Yeah.
And Churchill's obviously munch and box.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Yeah, you know, he's you know, eighteen drinks deep.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yeah, we did an episode on that, right, his drinking,
so he'll be plunging the dips, he's doing what the
fuck ever? And then obviously the FDR PERV.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Well, he's selfish. He would only get handies.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
I think before the legs were a problem. Before the
polio he was slinging. When did he get polio? When
did Actually the better question is when could he no
longer walk?

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Because I thought it was pretty young.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
He was thirty nine. Oh damn. So he was charismatic
enough to be a you know, he was man in
his own no young. FDR was good looking. He was
like he's a Roosevelt, Like, look at this dude. I
mean like Jesus Christ.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
And his marriage to Eleanor was just kind of a
political political marriage.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
This guy's slinging.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Oh yeah, maybe he's slang too much that God had
to cut it, cut literally cut him down.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
Show this, Show this picture of FDR on the YouTube,
because this is he is like shockingly good looking.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
I send me that with a description everything.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
Yeah, well I will, I will, yeah damn Yeah. FDR
was thrown for sure. He's a hunk. Yeah. Mussolini throwing
Church Will throwing Hitler stalin.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
No, I bet Truman threw it down too on his wife.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
Though only in missionary but he beat it up. Yeah yeah,
drop him bomb. He did the job.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
And probably Truman was a dirty talker. He apparently had
a filthy mouth.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
Truman actually invented you like that, did the invent good girl?

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Uh? Not sure. Moon would never drop good girl. That
seems like an LBJ line.
