I don't know, because I don't...
I was invited to Rome to meet the Pope, right?
The Pope that died last year.
But I didn't ever follow him.
I'm not religious and I'm not Catholic and I don't know what his views were.
I don't know.
I mean, I just shook his hand.
It took two seconds.
He wasn't compelling to me.
He didn't command the room.
That was interesting to me, right?
He didn't fill the room.
And I don't know if that had to do with his age or his frailty.
I mean, we were at the Vatican and we were in some room that people normally don't get to go into.
And the costumes were unbelievable.
The clothing that the cardinals wore and that the guards wore, and there were monks there in beautiful robes and nuns there.
And the Pope was like the mother of the bride.
He had the least flattering, least interesting outfit in the room.
