0.031 - 28.57 Boomer Esiason

It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Hi, Boomer and Geo coming to you live with the Bill Ford Tough Studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network on this feel-good football Friday. 888-808-1019 is the number to join, and that's the Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new Ultimate Cell Carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. So there's a mutual friend of ours who met the Pope recently.

28.55 - 50.423 Boomer Esiason

Over the last couple of days. And I'm thinking, that is just unbelievable. Did you ever know anybody who met the Pope before? You might have known somebody who met the Pope before. Oh, man, I think I, yes, I know a few people that have met Popes. Yeah, this is my first. This is the first time that I've ever known somebody who has taken a picture with the Pope.

Did the Pope know that this guy was the Pope here? Yeah, I think he would be fine with me mentioning his name. Probably would like it. It's Tony Hooks, who is over there at Due Process, who is one of the great men that I know, and he was looking forward to this, and he actually presented the Pope a flag from Due Process. Yeah, I had no idea that took place. My Lord.

When I grabbed a sweatshirt this morning, I had no idea. Yeah. And then I come in this morning, you see this sweatshirt, and next thing you know, you show me a... He showed me a picture of Tony with the Pope. It's unbelievable.

Chapter 2: What interesting story about meeting the Pope is shared?

82.242 - 104.118 Boomer Esiason

Yes. I can't stop looking at it. Now the Pope has a due process golf flag hanging in his office. What do you do with that? So that was going to be my next question. If you're the Pope or one of the Pope's handlers, and now you get this due process flag, like, does that... Does it go into an office at the Vatican? Where does it go? I'm not sure where it goes.

104.198 - 117.613 Boomer Esiason

It may go in some sort of display case of all the gifts that have been given to the popes over the years. Where do all the gifts go that the pope gets? Where do all the gifts go that the president gets? I don't know if you saw this. The Florida Panthers were at the White House yesterday.

117.673 - 118.934 Unknown

Yeah, you got a bunch of stuff.

118.974 - 146.12 Boomer Esiason

So they gave President Trump a gold stick. That's unbelievable. Hockey stick. Hockey stick. Hockey stick. And, of course, a 47 Panthers jersey. And I think they gave him a Stanley Cup ring as well. Wow. That's a lot. Where do all those gifts go? Yeah, let's see. Let's see what Google AI says about it. Where do all the gifts the Pope gets go?

I'm loaded, okay?

149.054 - 172.006 Boomer Esiason

Gifts to the Pope go to various destinations. Precious items to Vatican museums, library, or the treasury, while others are managed by the Floria Apostolica, which is a private warehouse. Sometimes re-gifted, sold for charity, like cars auctioned off or given to charities for distribution for the needy.

172.026 - 174.91 Mike Francesa

Thank you very much.

174.89 - 201.052 Boomer Esiason

I don't need a gift. I don't want a gift. Never liked gifts. Never did. But, yeah. The great thing about that photo is that that will be hanging in the due process clubhouse. Oh, I mean, absolutely. It has to be, right? I mean, wherever that due process flag ends up, the fact that Tony, the flag, and the Pope were photographed together is an all-time moment. It's just an absolute all-time photo.

201.072 - 221.805 Boomer Esiason

It's an all-time photo. Yeah. It really is. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we played, a number of people have played with Tony that we know, and I sent, you know, one to a friend yesterday. He's like, listen, man, this is AI. Like, you're trying to mess with me. I'm like, I am not messing with you. I swear. I mean, I know AI is tough to figure out sometimes and what's real, what's not. This is not AI.

Chapter 3: What are the potential changes in the Mets' roster for the upcoming season?

2734.237 - 2759.385 Boomer Esiason

And they are focusing on that. And I think Rob Manfred told C-Mac and Craig that, you know, the only time they haven't had 162-game season, really, right, wasn't it? It was COVID. And 94. Yeah. Well, COVID, yeah, 94, they stopped it, right? They stopped it. And then, obviously, yeah, COVID was 60-game season. Yeah. So it's just probably he's talking under his watch, right? Maybe.

2760.026 - 2760.706 Unknown

Under his watch.

And remember, his background is labor law. Label law.
