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. 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.
What interesting story about meeting the Pope is shared?
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. 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.
Yeah, you got a bunch of stuff.
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?
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.
Thank you very much.
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. 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. This is a man that you play golf with standing next to the Pope, handed him the flag of the golf course you played. Yeah. I'm telling you, it happened. You see all these connections? It's unbelievable. It's crazy, right? I got all jacked up about that. I mean, I'm not a religious man, but I felt so good for Tony that he met the Pope and gave the flag. He was showing everybody. Yeah. This is awesome. Is the Pope a guy you'd be starstruck by? Well, you know. I don't think so. No, I don't think so, no. I don't think so. I mean, I would have an enormous amount of respect for him for what he represents and the millions of Catholics around the world.
