Chris Distefano
Welcome to another episode of History Hyenas. I'm Chris Estefano, AKA Chrissy Conclave, which me with me as always, Yanis Papas, AKA Peanut Head Papas. And we have our first Latino guest ever that you guys have been asking, can you guys get one Latino on? And we said, we're not going to do it. We're not going to do it. It's not this kind of show. We're not about diversity or inclusion. But we got beaten down by the comments and we said, you know what? If there's one day in the world when we're going to have a Latino guest on. It's today, the morning of the news breaking that Pope Francis, the first Latino Pope, has died. We brought in maybe someone who might be able to take his place, who might be able to bring Catholicism back to where it needs to be. And that's the one, the only, the Peruvian sensation, Tom Segura.
Tom Segura
Yeah, thank you very much.
Chris Distefano
I couldn't think of a P word.
Tom Segura
No, it was.
Chris Distefano
I'm sorry, I blanked.
Tom Segura
It was perfect, man. And just I don't know if we should just do a quick moment of silence for the Pope.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, let's do that. Okay.
Chris Distefano
Okay. All right.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Yes. Felt that he felt that. Now Pope, he died. Obviously the rumors were that it was fentanyl, but the media is saying it's not.
Tom Segura
I don't know. You never know. Those guys get away with anything behind those walls.
Chris Distefano
Because Trump was saying on Truth Social today that this is why we have this, the border crisis. The fentanyl killed the pulpit. Yeah.
Tom Segura
88. Just fucking huffing fan.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, dude. And X is definitely going with the Jews. I think the Jews are behind it. Yeah. Yeah. If you can. There's always a way to draw a diagram to the Jews, right?
Tom Segura
Kind of nice that it is actually. When you don't know, you can say it. You're not wrong.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like some way you could find it.
Tom Segura
And there's somebody. If you. Like if today you just walk down the street and you hear about the Pope and somebody goes, no, you go, Jews. They go.
Yanis Papas
There's somebody. Yeah, Yeah. I haven't looked into it yet, but yeah.
Tom Segura
When is it not?
Yanis Papas
Yeah, it's one of those things people assume and then they work backwards.
Tom Segura
And you gotta. You gotta leap a few different ways. But you can land there.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, you could land.
Tom Segura
You can just call my mom. Yeah, but she is, by the way, so, like, upset.
Chris Distefano
Legitimately upset.
Tom Segura
Dude. South American Catholic is like. They're like villagers, you know, they don't have.
Chris Distefano
I know. I was on a radio show this morning in Connecticut. I called in because I got a. In New Haven on Thursday and I did some fentanyl Pope jokes and they bombed hard. They bombed hard. And one of my mom's friends lives in the Connecticut area and was listening when she heard that I was going to be on and she called my mother. My mother's wildly upset with me.
Tom Segura
Oh, yeah.
Chris Distefano
That I was making fun of the Pope.
Tom Segura
First of all, my mom does not play with. But I will try to say, do you think it was the Jews?
Yanis Papas
Can I. Can I run my pedophile theory by her or that like, the whole church.
Tom Segura
So mad.
Yanis Papas
You hearing it? Okay.
Tom Segura
She might be.
Yanis Papas
She may be in mourning.
Tom Segura
Mom. Oh, Mom. God. I. I'm just in New York. I. I gotta run. I just was checking in. If you heard about the Pope. I told me. Yes. I'm devastated. I know. I don't know. I wonder who's gonna replace him.
Yanis Papas
Oh, my God.
Tom Segura
That's going to be the hardest scene. I know. God, I wonder what happened. I don't know if it was like the Jews or what. What happened to him? Well, what do you mean, the Jews? Well, you know, they're always up to something. I gotta run into this thing. I. Because I know he was sick, but he was extremely sick. He got in the hospital after six weeks and he did. Came out in procession yesterday. I saw him and he looks really, really, really sick. Okay, I love you. Let me call you when I get out of this thing. Okay, I'll call you. The weirdest phone call you can possibly. Okay. I don't know if it was a juice. How can the users to deal with pop Dying.
Yanis Papas
What is.
Tom Segura
Did you sleep last night? No, I didn't sleep that well. But I am.
Chris Distefano
Okay. And ask him to take care of.

Your soul, not myself. Okay. I. I love you, Mom. I'll call you a little bit, okay? Yeah, I'm sure. You call me. I will, I will.
Yanis Papas
Sometimes you gotta plant seeds. You know.
Chris Distefano
She defended, so she still doesn't know if it's ever a bit like she was. Just has no idea that she was on a pod.
Tom Segura
What do you mean that she.
Yanis Papas
This has to be the weirdest phone call I've ever got.
Chris Distefano
That's funny, too, to ask her. It's like 10 o'clock in the morning. It's noon. Have you heard about the pulp?
Tom Segura
Wow.
Yanis Papas
Thumbs up, she said.
Tom Segura
This is the weirdest call I've ever.

Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
I mean, now, you know, Tom is one of those sneaky Latinos.
Chris Distefano
Yes.
Yanis Papas
Growing up in New York, I didn't know that there was white Latinos until I went to Miami. And then I was like, there are undercover.
Tom Segura
The progressives like to say you present white.
Yanis Papas
Right? That's right, Right, right. And there's Latino Jews, too.
Chris Distefano
Well, they're there. My, you know, family's, you know, Puerto Rican. And I remember they first heard about Tom when you did you those special in Spanish.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
And my George, one of the. My girl's uncles, was like, yo. He was. His whole thing was, yo, that. That white dude can really speak Spanish. And I was like, no, he's Spanish. And I remember George like, nah, he ain't. I was like, no, he actually is. Yeah. It's like he learned Spanish good. I was like, well, he is Spanish. He was like, he's not. He just kept telling me, you're not. Yeah, we didn't.
Yanis Papas
We didn't have any white Hispanics. Yeah, no, none. There's no white Hispanics.
Tom Segura
Really? Was always, like.
Yanis Papas
They're always, like, brownish.
Tom Segura

Well, he has, like. My last name is Spanish from Spain.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tom Segura
Segura is from Spain.
Chris Distefano
Segura.
Tom Segura
Yeah, it is Segura. But, like, he could not have been a wider American. Like. Like, white bread guy.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tom Segura
He's from Louisville, Kentucky. But it's just like one of those things, like, a lot of people where if you go back enough generations, there's a Came from Andalusia, he came to Louisiana, who's a real pig.
Chris Distefano
There's always one that gets in.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Did I ever tell you, like, how we found out, like, what an animal this guy was? Dude, we had a family reunion in the year 2000. It was like the big, like, my dad, his three other siblings, and all their children. So it was like 30 people in D.C. and he had one of their cousins, like, one of the. The older, like, siblings. Cousins was really into genealogy, like, like being like. Like the old school way. And like, this is before 23andMe. So this is like, you did the legwork to find out everything. So they got us all together in this room, and this guy was doing, like, a presentation on a board of, like, Segura family history. He finds out. He's like. And in detail, like, he's like. So the first one that came over was this guy named Francisco Segura in, like, 1746, from Andalusia, Spain. And he came to Louisiana. And everyone's like, oh, this is neat. And then they're like, yeah. And he. He started this business, and he was really sick. And right away, when everyone. Someone's very successful in the 1700s, you're like, this is not a good.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom Segura
You're like, this guy's not good.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Segura
And he starts, like, throwing out, and then he's like, flipping this thing. And, like, this is the tree where he hung a guy. And we're like, oh, oh. And then it kind of keeps going.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tom Segura
And then they're like. And then when he died, we found his will. And he's like, there's like 30 pages of slaves left. And everyone's like, damn. All right. It just keeps going. And everyone's like, well, that was a really nice presentation, man. Thanks for. Thanks for laying that out.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, Right. But look, generations later, still a lot of success.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Your grandfather would be so proud to be so proud. You did that without any slaves.
Tom Segura
Any slaves, dude. I don't even know how. That's, like, crazy.
Yanis Papas
That's so funny. You see 1500, 1600, 1700, Spanish or Portuguese.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Successful.
Tom Segura
Successful. Forget it.
Yanis Papas
There's going to be cap. There's going to be whites.
Chris Distefano
Get. We get blamed the worst, like, whites for this. But it's like, really, Portuguese and Spanish were real scum, but they're white ones who. Yeah, but they are the one. Yeah, but they're not considered white today.
Tom Segura
The craziest thing is, like, as you. As we've gotten older, the whole idea of how we were taught Christopher Columbus, that's one of, like, the fun. They're like, guy came here just looking for what else is out there.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
He was like.
Tom Segura
Like, he was just a curious guy.
Yanis Papas
Ye.
Tom Segura
And then you read that, like, they would cut people's Hands off for fun. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Rape. You're like.
Tom Segura
And these guys were complete savages.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
And that was kind of like the way it was for the Spanish. Just exploring the world.
Chris Distefano
Sure.
Tom Segura
Just animals.
Chris Distefano
Absolutely. Just destroying people. I mean. I mean, you know, even they say that when Columbus got there, I mean, just the idea of them showing up and just giving everyone disease, I mean, just wiped everybody out. Killed everybody. And everyone's like, we're gonna name the country after. That's our guy. He discovered us.
Tom Segura
Yeah. This is the guy.
Chris Distefano

Yanis Papas
Like, they're really holding on to Columbus. Be like, we'll take rid of Columbus, but we'll give you this guy.
Chris Distefano
We're gonna stay with Columbus, dude. I was there the day. I was there the day when they were trying to take down the statues in Columbus Circle, and. And a bunch of Italians were just standing in front of it with weapons to like, be like, you ain't taking down this one.
Tom Segura
Really?
Chris Distefano
Yeah. A big moment in New York. They were like, trying to. And I just happened to be in the area. I just saw all these guidos just stand in front with baseball bats, probably guns. They're like, this guy's a hero.
Yanis Papas
They don't. It's their hero, Columbus.
Tom Segura

Chris Distefano
Stupid ass name.
Yanis Papas
It's a joke.
Tom Segura
It can't be real.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. I mean, it's just. But it's just something that. It's fine. It's just acceptable.
Yanis Papas
Charlie Murphy used to call me. Yes.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Like yawn. S. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris Distefano
It's what it is.
Yanis Papas
It's just my name was always Yawn.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Yanis Papas
They just struggle with two syllables or more. They say not John or Dave or. Yeah, yeah.
Chris Distefano
I remember one time I was doing a show with Donnell Rawlings at the Laugh Lounge and my black comic was, you know, Donnell's obviously black. And then there was another black comic on and he did this bit that like kind of was bombing and he was like laying on the floor while his bomb. And in the middle of A packed show, Donna, because it was bombing. Donnell was just in the back room. He went, yo, get your ass up off the floor, man. He said this, Harrison. And then the black kid just slowly got up and he tried to do another joke. And Donnell was like, nah, next, next. And then the crowd just starts laughing and heckling. It's like, it's just part of what it is.
Yanis Papas
Oh, they were vicious, though. Yeah, those rooms were vicious.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
One time I, I bombed so bad that. And then I had to walk through the crowd to leave. Yeah, it was just brutal.
Tom Segura
I did an East LA room that was all Mexican. One time that I bombed so hard at, like, just so painfully hard. And then I did that thing where I got off and I told the guy, I was like, yeah, man, you know, I'd come back. And, and, and then he went on, he goes, he goes. He said he'd come back.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Like, I was like trying to be confident. He was like, this, wants to come back.
Chris Distefano
His granddaddy must have had.
Tom Segura
Yeah. I was like, yeah.
Chris Distefano
All right, here we go. So. So this guy, Pope Alexander. So, first of all, the papacy, the honest papacy, has been around for 2, 000 years. Right.
Yanis Papas
And how Catholic are you to start?
Tom Segura
Well, I mean, I grew up Catholic. Oh, yeah?
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Oh, yeah. I mean, I mean, Catholic school, you know, every holiday, church, every Sunday, church. If it was a Catholic holiday during the week, we go do that, pray the rosary all the time. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Like, do you still go? No, no, no. It would be. That's a funny juxtaposition. It's like YMH live on the chest smearing. And at 10:00am and then 12:00 mass.
Tom Segura
Yeah, no. And I feel like it took my parents a long time before they finally released the hook of like, oh, these, the kids aren't going to be like us. Like, when I was coming home from college, you go to church on Sunday. When I was coming home to visit them in my most of my 20s, it was like, you're going to church today? I was probably over 30. First time I went home and it was Sunday and they were just like, we're going to church. And I was like, right. And then. And they, and it wasn't accompanied with a guilt trip. They were like, we'll see you guys later.
Yanis Papas
Right.
Tom Segura
It took them 30 years.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
No, you see, I. For me, it took. Because it's like such a Catholic family. It took me having. Jasmine is not Catholic at all. She's Christian. But it's like, you know, the, the Spanish, you know, like the freaking Church of Latter Day Whatever where they dance around. It's like, yeah. Tickets to get in. It's like they sell tickets on Stub Pub. Like, that's crazy.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Right? The church is like in the back of a gas station.
Yanis Papas
Is that the ones that say, like, Iglesia? Yeah. And it's like. It was like a former storefront.
Chris Distefano
Yes. It's just. It's just one of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in the back of a Dunkin Donuts.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
And so it took her to make me kind of realize, like, she was like, you know, I love your family. She was like, but when they tell our daughter that she's going to hell because she didn't go to church, that's not good for her development. I was like, what do you mean she is going to go to hell if she doesn't go to church? She's like, no, Chris, you're. The reason why you bite your toenails from anxiety is because of that.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So just know that the guilt. We're not. Our children are not going to get raised with that. So if they want to go to church, they can. But if your mom tells our daughter one more time that she's going to hell, I'm going to tell her the truth about you, which is you have a gay son, so he's going to hell.
Tom Segura
So.
Chris Distefano
So I was like, it took it because you get so indoctrinated with this stuff. Like, my mother is legitimately, like, blood boiling mad at me that I was making jokes about the Pope today on local Connecticut radio. A thousand, like, cannot handle her. Like, I had the biggest disgrace.
Tom Segura
The one thing when I started doing standup that, like, I knew that she can, like, cannot joke about.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tom Segura
You cannot joke about abortion with her. You just can't. She just does, like. And you cannot joke about Catholicism with her.
Chris Distefano
She just still to this day, you wouldn't even write material about it because of that.
Tom Segura
Even later on when I call her today, she's gonna be like, what were you. And I'll just like, dismiss it and make her know that I'm not joking. And then it'll be like, okay, yeah, but if you're, like, making fun of Catholicism to her, she does not. She just can't see the can.
Chris Distefano
You can't handle it. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
As a non Catholic, I gotta say I respect that sort of fear that they instilled for silence.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
I respect that.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah. She like. And I was raised like. Like, I, I probably. I mean, not probably. I did pro Defend Catholics as a kid. I mean, because you are indoctrinated so hard.
Chris Distefano
Sure.
Tom Segura
And. And there's a lot of fear.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
So you're, like, fearing that you're upsetting the man in the sky. You know what I mean? Like. Like, very legit. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Do you ever get a look from a priest? Like, you ever get one of those, like, you know, luckily, little glance down.
Tom Segura
The only weird thing that ever had. Because I was never an altar boy or anything. Because when you do confession and you're raised to be like, this is where you should. You have to say these things you call confession.
Yanis Papas
I call it community blackmail.
Tom Segura
Yeah, exactly.
Yanis Papas
I call it.
Tom Segura
So I used to con. Used to confess. Masturbating. That was like, you're taught that. And I think the term. You go, I was impure, and I was con. Doing confession. And I mentioned that. And the priests on the other side was, like, breathing hard and, like, asking me to. Tell me about it.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yanis Papas
And as a kid, you. You probably didn't know. You're like, wow, this guy must have just ran here. No. Because why is he tired?
Tom Segura
I was like, I knew I knew something.
Yanis Papas
He knew something was up.
Tom Segura
Yeah, Yeah. I was like, yeah, right?
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tom Segura
He kept asking me for, like, details, and I was like, what?
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Yanis Papas
Wants to know. Tell him a full picture. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
But he didn't know. He was talking. It was a young Thompson girl. You're like, I watch guys nailing their ball. That's what makes.
Tom Segura
And the guy's like, hey, man, I'm losing my erection. Could you. Could you switch it up, dude?
Chris Distefano
My mother used to tell me that when I masturbated, the angels were crying. Dude, did you hear that? A lot. Like, that was a very. I guess my mom's age range of mother would say the. The angels cry every time you masturbate. And you can do that, but just know that you're upsetting the angels and they're hysterical crying. So I would just, like, have to think about that. I would just think about just, you know, so.
Tom Segura
By the way, it's so insane.
Chris Distefano
So ins. So insane.
Tom Segura
But you're sitting there.
Yanis Papas
But you know, to me using it as lube.
Chris Distefano
Cause the other day I realized I was paying for two cable bills because I got that Rocket Money app and it just sniffed out like a little truffle pig that I had an extra cable account, and it canceled it for me. And now the kid's only paying for one cable account.
Yanis Papas
Yeah. I love Rocket Money. I've been using Rocket Money forever. I will continue to use Rocket Money. And you need to use Rocket Money, too.

Like I've been telling you all morning, you just look handsome. You look good. You got a tight haircut and then you left the beard. And it's cute. But when you shave it, the only way that you look extra, extra cute without a beard is when you shave your face with Harry's razors.
Yanis Papas
I actually use Harry's razor.
Chris Distefano
It's awesome.
Yanis Papas
So this is great. They're great razors. And you know how I do? I grow the beard for a little while and then I shave it all off and I let it grow. Grin. Then I shave it off.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
And you always use Harry's razors. And it's just smooth. They got. Here's why. Also you could just trust them because they're German engineered blades.
Yanis Papas
That's it.
Chris Distefano
If the Germans make blades, you just know they're good.
Yanis Papas
Yeah. And just. It's Harry, baby.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I love can you. If you don't like a guy named Harry, that's a you problem.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, it's Harry.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Cuz. And what I like too, because everything in this world is subscription based. It's deliverables you don't have. They deliver the blades right to you. Customizable delivery options for scheduled refills as low as $2. Half what you pay for other big brands. And it's just awesome. I like when the razors just show up at my door. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
And don't trust any knockoffs like Henry or no Hughes. No, it's Harry.
Chris Distefano
I get excited when I say kids, when I tell my family Harry's at the door. Your father's gonna go out with.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, Harry. You gotta go with Harry. So right now you can get a 13 trial set for just $3 at Harry's.com history hyenas.

Yanis Papas
Yeah, I'm a fan of the Catholic Church because I feel like that level of sexual repression creates a very hot kind of.
Chris Distefano
Sure.
Yanis Papas
Sexual psyche. You know, like makes everything forbidden.
Tom Segura
Yes.
Yanis Papas
Which makes it nice. It's almost worth it.
Tom Segura
It.
Yanis Papas
It's almost worth it for the girls that it produces.
Tom Segura
Yeah, right.
Yanis Papas
You know, right. They were hiking up the Catholic school dress.
Tom Segura
Well, the Catholic school girls thing, when you're. Yeah, dude.
Chris Distefano
If you were. If you were, you know, in. In the, in the early 2000s, you know, well, late 90s, when I was in high school. In high school. 1998, 1999. If you were a Catholic high school girl and you had an ass like Christopher Maloney. I was in.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I was just waiting for you to talk about Christ.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
And look, if it's produced maniacs from the beginning, Pope Alexander VI, Rodrigo Borja, Italian kid. He was the pope from 1492 to 1503. Now this guy was a wild guy because he possibly murdered people and he was assassinating people while he was acting pope. So a lot of times these crime, you know, the papacy and Catholicism, it just hides criminals because this was Basically a mob boss in a rope. He was the Mafia guy that would just kill everyone. You know, Cesar. Cesar Borgia, who was the military commander at the time. He was like. The Borgias were like. You know, they would fight with, like, the. Who was the other big family in Italy?
Yanis Papas
The. The Medicis.
Chris Distefano
The Medicis and the Borgias were going together, so they would basically have this pope. See, the thing is with history is no matter how bad it is, like, you would think everybody heard about a pope who was killing people, who was a mass murderer, but the truth is nobody's heard about him until we talked about it today on the hyenas.
Yanis Papas
I mean. I mean, when you look at how many kids may have gotten got throughout the centuries. Silence and nobody talking about it is a big, big part of what the Catholics are good at.
Tom Segura
A lot of people don't today realize just how powerful the Catholic Church was in this era, like, for generations, centuries. The amount of money, power, influence and control they had over an entire continent was like, unrivaled. Like, you can't even begin. If you go to. When we went to Italy and you go to. To Lake Como and you're taking a tour on the lake and you're looking at these, like, these villas, these estates, the guy driving around goes like, do you know, like, when this was built? And you're like, when they're like 14 something and like, do you know who built it? No, he's like, the Vatican. And I'm like, that. The Vatican built that? Yeah. That was for a cardinal to just live in, and then he decided it wasn't big enough, so they built him that one. And it's just like. It's just mob.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tom Segura
Just like. Like that's not a house for a. Yeah. A man of. Of the clergy, you know, it's like. It's a palace.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. This whole idea of like, oh, the Pope, like the Pope who just died. Pope Francis. He. He was. He was all about, like, modesty. Yeah. And he went the other way because.
Tom Segura
That'S what you're supposed.
Chris Distefano
But that's a new thing.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
For hundreds of years. You're right. It was just like they. Were they rappers.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
A thousand percent dressed like rappers.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
They just walked out to, like, Kendrick Lamar.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah. Not like us was playing.
Yanis Papas
Just to be able to get away with that for so long. Going like. And God preached a rich man has a better chance of getting to heaven than camel going through the eye of a needle and just saying that in, like, just a gold dome.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Yanis Papas
Ropes on and a robe.
Chris Distefano
Oh, yeah.
Yanis Papas
Marble everywhere.
Tom Segura
It's insane.
Yanis Papas
Yeah. Your own. Your own country within a country.
Tom Segura
And then, like, we're doing this is just, like, the material stuff, but then these guys were straight up just killing people.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Well, here's this one. Brings us to Pope Benedict IX. He was the Pope three times. Three separate times between 1032 and 1048. So he kept just being the Pope, then leaving, then coming right back. And he was accused of corruption and selling the papacy. He became the Pope at age 20. He was accused of rape, murder, and general debauchery. One guy said he lived as a demon from hell in the disguise of a priest. He sold the papacy to his godfather so he could get married. Then he tried to take it back later. So that's pretty wild.
Tom Segura
That quote is insane.
Yanis Papas
Yes.
Tom Segura
That somebody said lived as a demon from hell in the disguise.
Chris Distefano
And it's one of those things where, like, I love to go back in history, because it's like, I don't need another spider, man. I need a movie about Pope Benedict ix.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I want the. Who. Who is the rapist murderer pope.
Tom Segura
Incredible.
Chris Distefano
I want to watch that movie.
Tom Segura
I would love to see that.
Chris Distefano
That's gonna be. That's gonna be Conclave 2.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
When it comes out.
Yanis Papas
Well, he became pope at 20, so it's like, can't do that. You can't do that. You can't give a 20 year old the papacy. Is that what it's called, the papacy?
Chris Distefano
The honest papacy?
Yanis Papas
The papacy, yeah. You just can't do that.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. I mean, Pope John xii, Sex in the Vatican. This guy gambled, drank heavily, invoked pagan gods, and he got caught having sex in the basilica multiple times, and he possibly died under mysterious sexual circumstances. Some say he was beaten by the husband of a woman he was with. So this guy was just wild. We say, guys, when we say you have a screw loose, we say you got a leaky roof.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, this guy has got a leaky roof. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
He just was a psychopath.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
And then this guy I thought was funny just because of his name. His name was Pope Stephen, which everyone else.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
It's like this guy was just Pope Steve.
Yanis Papas
Steve.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. They call me Pope Steve Stevie Popes. And he was a. He got accused of corpse desecration. He put the dead body of Pope Formis Formosis on trial, dressed it in papal robes, and screamed accusations at the corpse. Then he found the corpse guilty, cut off its fingers, and threw it in the Tiber River. So it's just what it is.
Tom Segura
Yeah, I mean, that was in 896. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Because before, we were under constant video surveillance.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
This is how humans acted. Like, if there was no cameras on the people in charge and there was no way you could just take someone out to a field and do that. People would do that.
Tom Segura
People would do much crazier shit.
Chris Distefano
Our leaders are just not doing that now. It's like, oh, there's a system of rules.
Tom Segura
It's so crazy now because you. We can't comprehend what's next. But the fact that if you ask somebody could tell you all the streets you walk down today, they could just be like, yeah, we have face scans of it like that. Like, who knows what comes after that? The fact that you're tracked, act everywhere you go completely changes behaviors.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
It's like, even if you go back 30 years when there's really not that much surveillance, then we have so many more like serial killers and crazy happening in the. In. In the streets. All that goes down because we're surveilled 24.
Yanis Papas
That's what's probably. That's why there's probably no serial killers now. They just can't get away with it. Huh?
Tom Segura
You can't.
Yanis Papas
And they're probably frustrated, and that's why they go, like, I'm just gonna get an AR15 and just blow up a school and then kill myself.
Tom Segura
Because the only. I have a theory on it that the only way you could be a serial killer would be to be so disciplined in the fact that you have no pattern that it would. You know, I mean, like, you'd have to, like, kill someone in Maine and then in Arizona.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Like. And it would have to be the planning and the amount of time it would take, like, because those guys always, like, stay in regions and just. There's no way you could do it. It's really sad.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, you could just. Yeah, you could just. Nobody could get away with it because it's like, you just take a couple of crimes and then you just ask chat GPT. You're like, who would this most likely be? And they're like, oh, that's Tom. Tom did that every time he had he arena show, he just killed somebody. Yeah, just like, that's Tom. It's. I have it right here.
Yanis Papas
That's the way they got Vince Champ.
Chris Distefano
Oh, that's right.
Tom Segura
Right.
Chris Distefano
I forgot about that.
Yanis Papas
They finally looked at his touring schedule.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Ah, that's the guy.
Tom Segura
That's right.
Chris Distefano
Vince Champ is in all. If you guys don't know, he's an old comic that was squeaky clean. Like, that was the thing about him. He never cursed. Yeah. Never uttered a bad word. Didn't even say poopy. But yet he was.
Tom Segura
He was Star Search.
Chris Distefano
Star Search.
Yanis Papas
He did Carson. He had a career.
Chris Distefano
And he was going and doing college shows. And then after the shows, raping girls and then having them pray with him to forgive him for his sins. And then it just took one cop who just looked a little bit up to our schedule and said, oh, I think it's Vince camp.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, I mean, yeah, that was my favorite part. He would. He would sodomize them, and then he'd go, let's pray together. And at that point, you're going like, come on.
Tom Segura
There was. There was this Lafayette police officer. It's like a famous case where he was on duty like an active officer, and he was breaking into homes and assaulting women. And then on the way. Like, the women said that, like, on the way out, he'd be like, look, you gotta. Gotta lock these doors.
Chris Distefano
You gotta.
Tom Segura
Like, he would tell him. He's like, you gotta. You gotta. You're not being safe.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Segura
And they were like, appreciate it.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Like, these windows are. No, like, you tell them, by the.
Yanis Papas
Way, just so this doesn't happen again. Let me give you a few tips.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
One of the ways that they. Like, one of the hints to the investigators is the way that he held his flashlight. Because lay. People hold their flashlights like this, but cops hold them like this.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tom Segura
And he was always like this.
Chris Distefano
He always had his gun under his flashlight. Like, just.
Tom Segura
They were like, wait, he held his flashlight up here? And they're like, yeah.
Chris Distefano
Weird.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
He had a walkie talkie.
Yanis Papas
Maybe that's how they figured out if the killer was white or black. They were like. Was the bullets angled like this?
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Like.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. So there was a pope. Pope Pius xi. Now they're saying that he condemned aspects of Nazism, racial ideology, pagan nationalism. But the Nazis were just saying that he was their guy. The Nazis. Right. Just kind of the. Not. The thing is with the Nazis and propaganda is they were just like, look, Pope Pius is our guy. And we're just gonna. You know, he's. He's telling us that what. You know, we're. We're. As Nazis, we're being good Catholics. So.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, well, he. They. Him and Hitler, like, signed some sort of pact. Right, Right. They made him sign a pact saying, like, Hitler is going to respect the Catholics in Germany. In Germany. And then sort of the Catholic Church kind of looked the other Way. With a little cleaning that the Nazis wanted to do.
Tom Segura
It's just one little kind of a handshake deal.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, it was like a handshake deal.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Well, I. I heard something, too, about the Nazis. About how, like, Winston Churchill and FDR and the Allies knew what was happening in the Holocaust. Just that it was. Was this site. The Nazi scientists were just basically doing experiments on, you know, the Holocaust victims, and they were getting results so that Winston Churchill and FDR were like, you know, it sucks, but it's like, maybe we'll get. There Might be a profit here, might be a little business here. You know, get a new type of medicine or something we could sell big. And then once he just started killing everyone and not doing the experiments, like, all right, now we gotta jump.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
It's just what it is.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Happens.
Tom Segura
Well, this is how business is done.
Chris Distefano
After I was gone and been there. Yeah.
Tom Segura
Yeah. But.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, just even. But, like. Yeah, you could get away with that for a while, too. Like, they had camp set up and.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
They were. They were exterminating people, and you couldn't do that now. Someone would just take a phone and.
Tom Segura
Be like, what the.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, well, like. Like, the people I love, the. The German citizens. Have you ever seen, like, the interviews of, like, the surrounding towns of concentration camps? They're like, we had no idea.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
What was going on. And the interview, it didn't smell like a barbecue.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Like, all of a sudden, it was just barbecue for months. And, like, we just thought they were making barbecue. Thought they were having hasen. Yeah. You.
Tom Segura
You all knew. You definitely knew, man. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
And so you saw the jewelry store was closed for more than a week. You're like, what's going on?
Tom Segura
Add up.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, they.
Yanis Papas
They said they'd be back in 15 minutes.
Tom Segura
It's so crazy how. But, like, it just is. So, like, highlights human behavior. Like, if. If people in power start doing something and you're not the target of it, then human beings just go, like, yeah, okay, I'm safe. I'm okay. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
It's basically how it is being a New Yorker. You know, like, you see, like, a stabbing happening in the train. You're going, like, it's not happening to me. Don't say anything. Don't intervene.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
That's one of my favorite Louis CK jokes where he said his family was in town from wherever, and they got. They'd never been in New York, and they got off the train and they saw a homeless person, like, on the. On the floor, like, bleeding and, like, screaming. And they were like, his family's like, oh, my God. And they went to help, and Lou's like, no, no, no, no, we don't do that here. Yes, yes. Leave it alone.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. What?
Yanis Papas
He said he's in pain. He's in need. And they're like, yeah, that's just.
Tom Segura
That's just.
Yanis Papas
We leave that.
Tom Segura
We leave that here. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Or like, my dad was always the. Like, he thinks every homeless guy is just, like, faking it. So, like, I remember, like, a homeless guy literally came up, no legs, in a wheelchair in traffic in the Holland Tunnel when they used to do that. And my dad was like, everyone locked the doors, locked the windows. This guy's faking it. I was like, he has no legs, so there's no way I could see. He's got, like, an infection. And my dad's like, don't do it. It's all fake.
Yanis Papas
He can work like everybody.
Chris Distefano
That's prosthetics. It's how they get you gypsy. Cause I. I was having sex the other night, and I took a blue chew before. And I'll tell you what, man, this guy, he told me that he's never felt anything like it. The guy really had a nice time when I took a blue Chill.
Yanis Papas
Have better sex with BlueChew. BlueChew is the original brand offering chewable tablets for better sex. And starting now, now bluechew is offering a combo so strong, it'll knock your socks off and your neighbor's socks off as well.

Yanis Papas
If you knew his name, it wouldn't be gay sex.
Chris Distefano
It wouldn't.
Yanis Papas
Because you're not supposed to know his name.
Chris Distefano
All right, so now the Pope. So now the Pope is dead. So Pope, Pope, Pope Francis dead. So now, Jesse, I want us to pull up. I want the three of us here to put a bet on and we can do this, hopefully through DraftKings, put a bet on who's going to be the next Pope.
Tom Segura
That's a big one.
Chris Distefano
That's a big one. Because now we're feeling. Giannis and I in here are feeling that you can't go with another white guy. Guy. You had the Latino guy. You had the, the, you know, you can't go back to white. So it's going to have to be. We got a Chinese kid is in there as a Filipino guy, a couple of black guys and then a couple of. A couple of races we don't know. But let's pull up. Yeah. So this guy already, I could tell you, is out. We got a fat face, white guy. His name is Cardinal Jean Marc Aveline.
Tom Segura
We don't want a French Pope.
Chris Distefano
No, you don't want a French Pope. I don't trust them. I think that, you know, they're. Yeah, go down. There should be a list. I thought we. I thought we had a list of possible ones.
Tom Segura
It's just, it's listing them. It's listing on them like this.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. I want to see their pictures, though. There was. I think it was the New York Post. Maybe they had a possible.
Yanis Papas
New York Post is good at pictures instead of words.
Chris Distefano
Yes.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, Yeah.
Chris Distefano
I love the New York Post. I read. I read it every morning like it's a pop up book.
Yanis Papas
The New York Post you can look at, which is great. Yeah, you can just walk.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah. Put in the New York Post and.
Yanis Papas
Then get up the Instagram of newspapers.
Chris Distefano
There it is. This is the one that I read this morning. Morning. Yeah. Yeah. So. All right. So, I mean, it is wild. I mean, Pope Francis, let's just be honest, he did not look good towards the end. That does not look like a guy who was going to survive.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Well, since they found out about the baby blood, these guys have been struggling with their health.
Chris Distefano
So this is the guy. Cardinal Go down. Yeah. Cardinal Tagel, He's a Filipino one. Cardinal Cardinal Lewis Tegel. Now, I think this guy is my pick. I think we call him Eastern Hemis. I think in Eastern Hemisphere is going to be the one because with the Influence China has and all that. They want an Eastern Hemi in that seat, man.
Tom Segura
It's a. It would be a wild. I don't think that's anything like that's ever happened.
Chris Distefano
No.
Tom Segura
Because it's really about those other. The other Cardinals voting go. How many of them are going to be like, Eastern Hemi is the way to go.
Yanis Papas
But he stacked the court, right. Yeah, he. Pope Francis nominated a lot of guys who were really. Yeah. Who were like liberal into what he was doing. It's basically, he stacked them with a lot of a. Like pro. Abortment. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
The highest chance of getting a. Not like a truly non. Like, this guy's not going to make it. Cardinal Pietro Parolin at 70. He just looks like too many other.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Guys, I'm sorry to say. I know you guys are Catholic. I don't want to disrespect, but there's no way I'm leaving this guy in a room with my kid for more than five seconds.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Yanis Papas
I mean, it's just on his face.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
I mean, it's just. It's on a lot of their faces. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This guy. Not. No, no. Yeah, yeah.
Chris Distefano
This is the Frenchman.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
He's the favorite. Favored.
Chris Distefano
He's the favorite.
Tom Segura
That's what it says. He's the favored successor.
Chris Distefano
See. No, I don't. I don't think. I really in my heart think that. It's like there's no way they can give it to another white guy. It's just not possible. But if you're. If they're saying he's the favorite. But you never know. Because what happens now? If you watch the movie Conclave. What happens now? Yeah, it's great, is they're going to start to go and they're going to start to dig into these guys. Pass. So, like.
Tom Segura
Right.
Chris Distefano
If they got anything that they need to find.
Yanis Papas
Oh, and they got stuff.
Tom Segura
They got stuff.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah. I'm not giving it to this guy, this dud. No way.
Tom Segura
Way.
Chris Distefano
No way. A freaky deaky Dutch is. I'm not having your way shoes walking around my frickin Vatican.
Tom Segura
There's no way they're voting for the Dutchman.
Chris Distefano
No way. It's not happening. Let's see, he's 71. How about this guy? Cardinal Malcolm Ranjit. This is an Indian kid.
Tom Segura
That's crazy.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Could you imagine, dude.
Tom Segura
But this is.
Chris Distefano
Maybe.
Tom Segura
Maybe it's 20, 25. Maybe it is going to be the Filipino or the Indian.
Chris Distefano
That's what I'm thinking.
Tom Segura
That's the time it could happen.
Chris Distefano
That's. This guy's from Sri Lanka.
Yanis Papas
Well, if you think about it as a business, you want to go where the population's at, right?
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Our Hollywood movies, they make China. We need that market. So you want to go Eastern Hemi just to.
Tom Segura
Pretty crazy.
Chris Distefano
And if you do really want to fight, get the out of here. This guy, Cardinal Robert Sarah, is legitimately from Africa.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
He's from Dakar.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So I don't know if. I don't know if they. Can you do that. You. Are they allowed to vote for that? Imagine somebody puts a vote, like, are we allowed? I want to vote for.
Tom Segura
Is that can question mark?
Chris Distefano
Yeah. They're like, I think if I'm allowed to.
Tom Segura
That's.
Chris Distefano
You think he has zero chance.
Tom Segura
I mean, I don't like, it depends on what this. This conclave looks like. Right. Like, I do feel like there's. It's like anything. There's a time where you go, it's impossible. And then you get enough people that think a certain way that, like, evolve, progress along, that these things are possible. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. This guy's standing with the other cardinals, because that's really what it is, is that they go, we have the confidence in this person.
Chris Distefano
We can agree on this. We can agree on this. That for sure. Cardinal Robert Sara from Dakar, definitely, out of all the candidates, does have the biggest.
Tom Segura
He has to.
Chris Distefano
That we can absolutely.
Tom Segura
By the way, check that box. I'd like him in charge. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Now, are you guys saying this because he's a African gentleman?
Chris Distefano
Well, I'm just. No, not necessarily. I'm just saying he just looks like a man with a big penis. He looks like. That's what the robes cover.
Yanis Papas
Right? Right.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tom Segura
That's all dick under there.
Yanis Papas
Yeah. Now, is he. Is it tough because he's black?
Chris Distefano
Black.
Yanis Papas
Like, are you saying it's gonna be tough to have a black Pope?
Chris Distefano
Well, not for us. We don't mind. But I think the Papacy is gonna not do that.
Yanis Papas
That would be funny if Tom was like, whoa, whoa, don't speak for me.
Tom Segura
Hey.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. No, I'm saying that. Yeah. I don't want no black guy.
Tom Segura
No, I think it's. It's funny because it's like, it. You know, there used to be movies that like the whole premise of not even that long ago, they're like, imagine if we had a black president. And like, that was the hilarious premise that, like, Bernie Mac is the president.
Chris Distefano
I can guarantee this. This I can guarantee you this. If Cardinal Robert Sara from Dakar somehow does win the Pope, within minutes after he is nominated or accepts the Pope, in my group chat, one of my friends will send this Pope in the Pope mobile with rims on it.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris Distefano
That's what's going to happen. And all those memes are going to start to go around, explode.
Yanis Papas
Absolutely.
Chris Distefano
Like pimp my ride, Pope mobile.
Tom Segura
And the chain will be.
Chris Distefano
It's just within minutes. I mean, literally moments.
Tom Segura
Park Hill projects kind of thing.
Chris Distefano
I mean, moments after, moments after Donald Trump got shot when his ear was bleeding and he had that fist up in the group chat, they put, let's go Mets over that picture. So those are the kind of friends I have.
Tom Segura
Yes.
Yanis Papas
Now let me ask you this question. Woman possible.
Chris Distefano
No, no, no. Because there's no way you have to be a cardinal.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, yeah.
Chris Distefano
So I think a woman will become a priest in our lifetime. I think they'll open that up. Probably priests get married.
Tom Segura
Maybe that by the time we're a little bit older. A little bit. Yeah, yeah.
Chris Distefano
It's either they're going to either let women in, let the priest get married or just let the priest be pedophiles. They're just going to let them have a kid.
Tom Segura
Just start. Guys, here's the thing. You shouldn't, you shouldn't. That is like a biological function of being a human being.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Segura
And repressing it is just, it's, it doesn't good results.
Chris Distefano
Greeks, Greeks allow their priests to marry.
Yanis Papas
Do you think it's because of the repression that happened?
Tom Segura
I think so.
Yanis Papas
I think so.
Tom Segura
I do think, I do think it at least plays a role in it where like these guys are fighting this human urge that is virtually impossible to resist. Right. Like it is.
Yanis Papas
Right.
Tom Segura
It's like part of our, it's like our primary function as living beings. So it's, it's, I think it's crazy.
Chris Distefano
Priests and Popes especially have to absolutely crank it on a daily basis. Right.
Tom Segura
And then just cry about it. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Just hit themselves.
Chris Distefano
Oh, my God, dude, the angels were crying with me. They must be like literally going into.
Tom Segura
Shock also, you know, our bodies, bodies, they obviously change as we, as we age. But imagine being a priest at 22. Yeah. And you're just like, I'll just shut this down.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
That's why that Pope went wild at 20. That's just too young.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. There was a 25 year old priest in my old parish and he just had a raging boner every Sunday just through the, through the robes.
Tom Segura
And also the tension that. That would build up, like, if he is interacting with some woman who, whether she works there or is a nun or whatever, like, the tension that would build up would be, like, irresistible at some point, exploding.
Chris Distefano
All right, let's see who else we got. So we got. So he's probably not going to make it. Then we got. Go down a little bit more. Oh, those are it. So we got Cardinal.
Yanis Papas
Those are the front runners.
Chris Distefano
Those are the Robert Saar from Dakar, the Asian kid, the Indian kid, the Dutch kid who's not going to make it. And then the Frenchman is the one right now who's in the lead.
Tom Segura
I don't know. Here's the thing. The closest to. To. To, like, what we're used to is the Frenchman. Right, Right. It's from the region that's still a Catholic, you know, country.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tom Segura
Historically. And like, I don't know, but I just feel like it might be time for that shift.
Chris Distefano
I honestly, if I was Pope, too, I would. I. Because you can pick, honestly, any name you want. It doesn't have to. They just do traditional. But I would go something wild. I would go Pope LeBron.
Tom Segura
Something with an apostrophe.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Pope De quelle.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Pope LeBron would be my choice.
Yanis Papas
How do they measure? Is it by stats? Is it, like, what do they do? How do they draft it?
Tom Segura
Like, so these cardinals are all going to go into this room.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
And they're going to go through rounds of voting.
Yanis Papas
Right?
Tom Segura
Right. And then if they don't have the number of votes you needed to be, they'll put them all into this, like, fireplace and they'll put out black smoke, which means that they have to do another session and they'll do rounds of that until they all. Until there's a majority vote for one.
Yanis Papas
And what do they base it on? What are they looking at a guy's numbers? Are they going. I think it's got 14. They usually are like, confessions 100.
Chris Distefano
These.
Tom Segura
These cardinals, you know, it's a power play thing. Right. And it's under the guise of, like, this is a moral and upstanding, but it's. It is just like politics.
Chris Distefano
Right.
Tom Segura
So they're. They're just going like, you know, he's been acting it, whatever, 40 years, and he's this type of guy. Sometimes they'll also follow along with somebody's. Like, they know that someone might be ultra conservative. And so the other cardinals that are conservative go. We want to make sure. So, you know, and then political.
Chris Distefano
Oh, my God. So. Because St. Peter was the first Pope, but that was just, like, bestowed upon him by Jesus, they say. So that's. A lot of people have problems with the way this is. They said, if you really want. Because especially Pope, the head of a religion. And there shouldn't be any political thing attached to. It's like the ego, like, it's like the president. It's like, you can't be a good guy and be the president only because the whole thing of you wanting all the power is technically not good.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So the Pope wanting all the power, it's like, yes, they're a good guy. Like, maybe they're very religious. Sure. But if you really wanted just the good Pope, you just have to randomly pick someone and say, well, you're the Pope now because you're just a priest. And, you know.
Yanis Papas
Do you think they consider now, like, scandals? They looking at a guy, what do they call it, his area? Is he a bishop or something?
Chris Distefano
Or you go from car, you go. You out. You go priest, then bishop, then you rise up the ranks. Just like. Just like, dude, it's like. Like Tom said, it's like a politician. It's like being around.
Tom Segura
Have, like a region.
Yanis Papas
So they're like regional managers.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
If this was a corporation, the Pope is like the CEO. Yes. And then the Cardinals are like the regional managers.
Tom Segura
Yeah, exactly.
Yanis Papas
And then you got franchises.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Priests.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Yeah. And those are like Indian guys that owe Subway.
Tom Segura
It's a hell of a business.
Yanis Papas
It was a big.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, ours was a big art. It was big in my community because the. It was Bishop Thom Dolan. Bishop, we would always thank Bishop Thomas Dolan at the end of every Mass. And then Bishop Thomas Dolan became a cardinal.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So that was you like that. I remember that being the Ridgewood Gazette. Like, dude, our bishop just made it to the big league.
Tom Segura
Yeah. That's big.
Yanis Papas
He got called up.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. He got called out big. And it was huge news.
Yanis Papas
Does any of it have to do with the charisma, the way he delivers a sermon?
Chris Distefano
Yeah. You can't. And you also have to play the game the right way. Like, you got to be out there and being like, you know, gays go to hell. You have to do that.
Yanis Papas
Yeah. But now, well, this guy's.
Chris Distefano
He's.
Yanis Papas
He cozied up to the gays.
Chris Distefano
The last a little. But he did stop short. Pope Francis did stop short of saying gays should allow to be married. So I think the media. You're going to see. I think the media is going to want to See a guy get in that's going to allow gays to be married. Yeah.
Tom Segura
I mean, this every. It's almost hard to have new popes that aren't somewhat more progressive than the last, because just like you be. You're Pope sometimes for 20 plus years. So, like, you just. Times change. So, like, there's conservative Catholics who think. Think that Pope Francis was too progressive, you know, like, that he was, like, moving along too many things.
Yanis Papas
But are they making the same mistake that Hollywood made and assuming that people want diversity and they want lgtbq?
Tom Segura
Bingo.
Yanis Papas
Yeah. Are they. Is it. Is going back to white the way to go? Nate Bargazi, Shane Gillis. Is that the way we go?
Chris Distefano
It could be.
Tom Segura
It very much could be. Because these things do swing right on this pendulum at. And it usually goes one way and then people go enough of that and.
Chris Distefano
Then go the other way.
Tom Segura
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So we should make. Maybe the next Pope should just go real old school and be like, our first guy. Just start cutting people's fingers off and throwing them in the river. That be awesome.
Tom Segura
Maybe this. This new Pope just goes, not only is gay marriage not allowed, we don't want interracial. Everybody get out.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
And dude, it is wild too, because like. Like Pope John Paul Paul, you know, the second, like, you know, the. Our big Pope of most our life, you know, like, he got shot. He got kidnapped. Like, there's so many things that have happened that we're like, wait, what?
Tom Segura
He was beloved?
Chris Distefano
Yeah, Beloved. Dude, he's Polish. I remember. Like, I remember my cleaning lady was Polish and she loved Pope John Paul.
Tom Segura
Oh, yeah.
Yanis Papas
He was the one that had to go in the bulletproof.
Tom Segura
Yeah. The Pope mobile.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. The reason, because the kid just kept getting shot at.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
They kept wanting to kidnap him. They just hated him.
Tom Segura
Yeah. And he went and, like, forgave the guy.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Big deal. I think. I think he literally, if I'm not. If I'm not mistaken, I think he was actually kidnapped and thrown of a trunk. Of a car.
Tom Segura
Car. Wow.
Yanis Papas
It was just as a Pope mobile.
Chris Distefano
That was it. Yeah.
Tom Segura
Shit's rad, dude.
Yanis Papas
So why were they trying to kill him?
Chris Distefano
If at least that.
Tom Segura
Well, because there's always some extremists, you know, that. I forget the reason of that, but.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, dude, Pope Benedict, the previous Pope, just resigned.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
That was like the first Pope to resign in like a thousand years.
Yanis Papas
He's just, like, getting out of the life.
Chris Distefano
He was like, I'm not doing it anymore. I don't even know if he's dead.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Or I. I have no idea.
Yanis Papas
See, because things do swing. If you look at Afghanistan right now. Now, the Taliban just issued an edict. I don't know if you heard about this. It's true that now. And I'm not making this up now. He. They want women to only have one eye exposed.
Chris Distefano
Are you serious?
Tom Segura
For real?
Chris Distefano
It's a.
Yanis Papas
He can pull it up. It's a dead serious. It sounds like a sketch, but it's true. So they want the full burqa or whatever. The stormtrooper outfit. What's it called?
Chris Distefano
Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
They want. So only one eye. So now it's one eye.
Chris Distefano
So one.
Yanis Papas
One.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
So rule one eye. So. But I don't understand. What do you mean, one eye? So, like, normally they would allow to have two eyes out, but now there you go. One.
Yanis Papas
Taliban orders women. Yeah. They only want one eye.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, got it. And then what's the reason? What's the reasoning?
Tom Segura
Oh, this is old.
Yanis Papas
This is old. Yeah. This is a true thing, though.
Chris Distefano
What about the one four days ago?
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Should see with one eye. Linda Rosbin was the one up there. If you look. Yeah. Lena. Yep.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Because I don't understand how that makes sense.
Yanis Papas
Here's the.
Chris Distefano
Is actually the next pope.
Yanis Papas
Yeah. This guy. Guy. So he says women should see with one eye. Yeah. He wants him covered up.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
One. Ey.
Yanis Papas
I guess it's good. It's a good for them to see less of their current situation.
Tom Segura
Yeah, that's true.
Yanis Papas
That's nice.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that.
Tom Segura
This dude can say this with full confidence.
Yanis Papas
Oh, yeah, he's up there.
Chris Distefano
No, he's on legit, like there cnn. He's like, one eye.
Yanis Papas
He's like, guess what we're going to do.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Why is two too many? Like, do we know?
Yanis Papas
I mean, I think.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
I think it's just like tattoos. Once you get a lot, you just want to keep going, you know, you.
Chris Distefano
Got them covered up.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
It's an addiction.
Chris Distefano
I like to see what. What the people say about stuff. Like, are there no comments about this? Okay. Only. Oh, she's got a private account.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Okay. Yeah. I mean, look, dude, the Taliban just. They kind of just do what they want to do and they just. They just live life.
Yanis Papas
I think maybe one. They were getting a little too turned on from two eyes.
Chris Distefano
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
They were like, let's try one.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Like, I. Yeah, I agree with El. Hila. I agree with Dr. Siraji. I agree with that. I agree with them a lot. I Agree with name cannot be blank. They really make it sense. This guy Weiss at. I really agree with what they're saying. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
Like, you look at. You look at Afghanistan, women started getting a little. We were there. We were. And then it swung back the other way.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
So it's, you know, it's time maybe the Catholics swing back too, right?
Tom Segura
That'd be cool. If there's some new rules we don't expect to come out of this.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. From the new Pope.
Tom Segura
From the new Pope.
Chris Distefano
I would like that. I mean, if they went the other way, that would be very, very, very fun.
Tom Segura
A conservative swing, like, in this day and age. From the Church would be pretty.
Chris Distefano
It would be fun if, like a young one came in and just. Just got absolutely jacked, like, was just absolutely on steroids and just a monster dude.
Tom Segura
Some guy shirtless all the time.
Chris Distefano
Yeah, it'd be awesome.
Yanis Papas
And he comes in, he's just like, look, we're not doing any of that, like, woke stuff. And he's like, the. The boy stuff was part of our culture. That's like, we're going back to going back. We're going back.
Tom Segura
We're going to be open about it.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, we're going to be open about it.
Chris Distefano
You know what's wild too, is Pope Francis was definitely sick, but, dude, J.D. vance just saw him two days ago. Like, he went. J.D. vance went and visited him two days ago and then he died. He really died hours after he met with J.D.
Tom Segura
Cavalry Catholic.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. I think J.D. is Catholic.
Yanis Papas
Is he? I think a long way. You know, there was a time in this country where being Catholic meant you, like, could not be in power. It was all WASPs.
Chris Distefano
Yeah. Pays tribute one day after meeting him. What religion is J.D. vance? Catholic Church. St. Gertrude. Yeah.
Yanis Papas
He may be one of the only vice president, presidents or presidents we've had who's Catholic.
Tom Segura
He was baptized in 2019, though, so that means he's a. He's a convert.
Chris Distefano
He's a new. He's a new dude. Maybe he's undercover. Maybe he killed the Pope.
Tom Segura
Is this like a wife thing? Did he do it for the Indian?
Yanis Papas
Hindi? Yeah.
Tom Segura
Really?
Yanis Papas
Yeah, she's Hindu.
Chris Distefano
Why did he go Catholic then? That's interesting.
Tom Segura
Really?
Chris Distefano
He chose. His patron saint was Augustine of Hippo.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
That's a fun one.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Yanis Papas
So what do you have to Hippo. This is interesting for people who aren't Catholic. So what's a confirmation state? It's like a sponsor in aa.
Chris Distefano
Exactly. So, like, my full name is Christopher Paul Anthony De Stefano. Paul is the middle name. And Anthony. St. Anthony is my confirmation name. That's the patron saint.
Tom Segura
Yeah.
Chris Distefano
Saint Anthony's a patron saint of traffic.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you have one.
Tom Segura
I do. And I don't remember what it is.
Chris Distefano
You don't have your confirmation.
Tom Segura
I don't remember.
Chris Distefano
My mom will be more upset about that than the fact that you said the Jews killed the Pope. Yeah.
Tom Segura
Yeah. So confirmation is like. It's the Catholic equivalent of like a bar mitzvah. It's you becoming an adult in a Catholicism. It's not as. I don't think most Catholics. Catholics see it as meaningfully as Jewish people see bat mitzvahs and bar mitzvahs. But. But it is like you do it when you're like 14, 15. So it's like, hey, now you're a grown up in the Catholic Church.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, I used to go. I went to Catholic church with a few of my friends when I was a kid. And all I can say, I gotta be honest as an outsider. Boring.
Tom Segura
It is boring.
Yanis Papas
It is. It's the most boring news fast.
Tom Segura
My confirmation, by the way, my confirmation class was 13 of us. And we would go to the. The church and. And guess who gave us our confirmation, like, address. Like, when we were confirmed, it was Tommy Lorda. Wow.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Tommy Lorda came in and was like, it's great being Catholic. Gave us his little speech. And then we were like, oh, it's cool. And some kids were like, I don't even know who that is. Like, wow.
Yanis Papas
And you're like, those are the gay kids.
Chris Distefano
Come on. What was his. What was it? Was it insure? What was. What would he. What was his product? Oh, when we were kids. Oh, it was not nutriment.
Tom Segura
No. It was Tommy Lassorta, the Shake.
Chris Distefano
The Shake Shake. Tommy Lasorda Shake. What the hell was that?
Yanis Papas
It didn't work. Whatever. Yeah, Big fat ass Tommy, sort of fatty shake. Slim, fat, Slim fast. Because he did slim down eventually.
Tom Segura
He did.
Yanis Papas
Yeah, he did.
Chris Distefano
Tommy la. Sorta slim fast, which we. It's so funny now. Like, we thought that was healthy. Now we know that is absolute garbage.
Tom Segura
And he had like that public Persona of. This is like everyone's sweet uncle. And then you can see, like, him miked up on the field like this.
Chris Distefano
Oh, yeah, dude, the man. All right, well, here's what we do. At the end of every episode, we ask our fans to go to patreon.com history hyenas and they make a funny name. And then we pick our winner, our ppw, our pseudo Penis of the week. And then we put their names up in lights at History Hyenas is back dot com. So, Tom, if we're just going to read off a few names and can you help? Yeah, just five minutes. Help us pick the winner.
Tom Segura
Okay.
Chris Distefano
So we just pick it out and then usually, you know, we kind of. We decide who wins and I'll explain the rules.
Yanis Papas
So the ones that we really love go on the list. If they're good but not like list worthy. We call that a Drexler. Because Michael. Because Drexler was in the era with Michael Jordan. So it's like Michael Jordan wasn't there. They could have won.
Chris Distefano
I got it.
Yanis Papas
And then the good simple ones are chicken fingers. And then there's walked into ones where the fans try to trick Chris.
Chris Distefano
Somebody will say something racist in the name. And then we say I walked into that one. Obviously we don't condone that kind of.
Yanis Papas
And they've got. Yeah, they've gotten very creative and now.
Chris Distefano
They really get me in this. Couple times I've said the full N word accidentally. And those are walked into woods. And we. And we. That's not okay. And of course we have extra bonus episodes. We do full other 45 minute plus episodes only@patreon.com historyainas and that's where the real fun happens because we could just go off the rail.
Yanis Papas
We're gonna let you pick. Pick this one.
Chris Distefano
Here we go.
Yanis Papas
Yeah.
Tom Segura
Amazing.
Yanis Papas
