What is the latest news about the new American Pope?
Guys, we are well overdue for a Blake Lively update, and the tea is piping hot, if you will. The Pope's new brother is certainly a character, and thank God nudity is out of style. All right guys, so unless you were living under a rock, then you probably saw that last week, the first ever American Pope was elected. A man named Robert Francis Provost was elected and took the name Pope Leo. He is the first ever American Pope. He is from Chicago, which is probably the most American thing ever. He's also a baseball fan. And guys, the media just went wild. And obviously this is a huge worldwide event. The videos, the coverage of this was truly insane. Before we even get into him and his brother, The most insane thing that I saw come out of the conclave and everything going on was I think it was CNN or NBC. Somebody was covering all of the events and they were talking about what happens when all the cardinals go into the Vatican and they close the doors and they start doing their votes. And somebody in the mainstream media literally said, They have to turn in their phones.
They don't have access to social media or the outside world. They are raw-dogging the conclave. That's what they literally said. That is like a Gen Z slang term for like sitting on an airplane and just tuning the world out and just like existing instead of, you know, texting your friends, being on social media, watching a movie. You're not listening to music. You're just raw-dogging your flight. They literally said that the Cardinals were raw-dogging this conclave. So if that is not the most 2025 thing I have ever heard, I don't know what is. Anyway, so this man, now Pope Leo, was elected, and we were all focused on him and being the new American Pope. Americans, especially Americans on the right, were simultaneously so excited that we had an American Pope and were feeling very patriotic, but then they also... dug up old tweets and they saw that he possibly most likely is anti-Trump so then they got very very angry but then a new shiny thing distracted our attention and that would be the Pope's brothers.
But before we dive into that story make sure that you're following our podcast page and rate the show if you you're enjoying it. And guys, in case you missed it, we launched my tour last week in Phoenix and Irvine. It was so much fun. I loved being there with you guys and meeting so many of you in person. If you wanna come out and see a show, we have many more coming up next month in June. You can buy all those tickets at brettcooper.com, or you can also find information about my subscriber-only platform, Cooper Confidential, which is also linked in the description below. All right, so first of all, I just think it is so hilarious that we know who the Pope's brothers are. And I understand, like, popes have families,
But I think all of this happening in 2025 in the age of TikTok and social media has just made this seem so modern in a way that it hasn't felt before. Like I was doing research and Pope Francis, he had a family. He had a sister who lived in Argentina, but we never heard anything about them. They never came and visited him. I think that he only saw her maybe once since becoming Pope, if at all, like it was very, very distant. Guys, the craziest story that came out of this was the fact that one of their childhood neighbors watched these young boys grow up, would see them play together, would interact with them, and she took a look at Robert, now Pope Leo, and said, you're going to be Pope one day.
You are so holy, you are so dedicated to your church at literally the age of like six, you are going to be pope one day. And he did. I mean, it's just crazy. It's crazy, crazy, crazy. But what is even crazier, and I know I keep saying crazy, but this whole thing is just wild, is the fact that the new pope's older brother is a straight up Facebook MAGA Florida It is truly incredible. And the new Pope does seem to be a little bit more centrist in his views. And I know this because nobody really seems happy. A lot of people on the right don't think that he is traditional and conservative enough. A lot of people on the left don't think that he is progressive enough. He's seemingly landing somewhere in the middle, but his older brother certainly is not.
