Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, AI is resurrecting dead people to give testimony in court and teach writing classes, innovative or creepy.
Then Trump announced a framework for a trade deal with the UK. We're sending them Guy Fieri and we're getting back David Beckham. It's Friday, May 9th. Let's ride.
As white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel's chimney yesterday, signaling the election of a new pope, the screech of a bald eagle could be heard in the distance. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a Chicago-born Villanova University math major, was elected as the first American pope in history, taking the name Leo XIV. As the new pope made his first appearance on the balcony overlooking St.
Peter's Square, the crowd went wild, and so did people in his native United States who were delirious that a Chicago boy known to his friends as Bob was now the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. Many questions remain about what direction he'll take the church in, but at least one mystery has been solved. According to the new pope's brother, he is a White Sox fan, not a Cubs guy.
First of all, everyone who bet on the Pope yesterday was totally wrong. Prevost was at 0.3% on Polymarket right before the announcement. So whoever backed an American Pope made a pretty penny. But yesterday was an all-time day on the internet. I'm just going to run through some of the best jokes I saw. First, a Chicago Pope. Rome will finally have some good pizza.
Followed by a lot of jokes about Chicago Deep Dish being the new body of Christ. Then lots of tariff content. The tariffs worked. We're even making popes in America now. And then finally, lots of Chicago sports jokes. Prevost is a Chicago White Sox fan.
The Chicago Sun-Times found a picture of him back at the 2005 World Series, which means a fan in the stands became the pope before the White Sox made it back to the World Series. Also, Chicago produced a pope. before a QB who is throwing for over 4,000 yards. So American Pope, really, really great for lots of good jokes. And now a word from our sponsor, Planet Oat. Neil, you know what I love?
