Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app. I love all the shows
Speaker 1: I listened to on this station other stations, but I
Speaker 1: will say one thing about our show. And I don't
Speaker 1: give our show compliments very often, but I will give
Speaker 1: it this this week, I have heard a lot of
Speaker 1: different people talk about stories that we brought you here first,
Speaker 1: not to brag, not to brag, but if you want
Speaker 1: to stay on top of things when they happen right here,
Speaker 1: right here, nine to one, baby's you want to be.
Speaker 1: If you want to know stuff before your friends know it,
Speaker 1: this is the show because we kind of pride ourselves
Speaker 1: and staying on top of things as they happen.
Speaker 2: For example, no smoke, for example, black book, I should say.
Speaker 3: But two instances of black smoke already.
Speaker 4: Oh I thought you wanted me to throw people under
Speaker 4: the butt.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, don't do that. Oh no, that's going to
Speaker 3: us some issues. We don't need that. Okay, we do
Speaker 3: not need that anymore.
Speaker 1: Do we have issues?
Speaker 3: Well, there might be, Oh there's smoke coming from the system.
Speaker 1: Chair. Is that white? It's hard to say, that's white.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 1: That is relax.
Speaker 3: Relax until bro, that's white.
Speaker 1: They are cheering. There's people cheering that is white. That
Speaker 1: is white smoke.
Speaker 3: Well it's not.
Speaker 4: You can't even here.
Speaker 2: I don't remember exactly how it goes from this point.
Speaker 4: Well I do. We get a new pope up in here.
Speaker 3: Channel eleven is running with old Oh my.
Speaker 1: God, Channel eleven. That's like another radio show right there,
Speaker 1: awkward Channel eleven. We've got white live shot. You get
Speaker 1: some here, you celebrate. Come on, now, where where's the
Speaker 1: church music? Holy hell, my goodness. There we go for
Speaker 1: the one point four billion Catholics out there. We have
Speaker 1: a new pope. Yes, we don't know who he is.
Speaker 1: Will he be from America? No?
Speaker 4: Will he be from France? Probably?
Speaker 3: I love this. They have a drone shot.
Speaker 1: Of Oh my gosh, Saint Peter Square is crawling with
Speaker 1: people there to say I was there when I saw
Speaker 1: the white smoke flow out of the chimney of the
Speaker 1: Sistine Chapel to signal a new leader of the world's Catholics. God,
Speaker 1: no doubt is there. He's everywhere. Sorry, I don't do
Speaker 1: this as well as America.
Speaker 2: We have the microphone actually but oh, at Peter, let's
Speaker 2: get it.
Speaker 1: That's the cheering. Vin Scully would just let the crowd
Speaker 1: tell the story, and that's what we will do.
Speaker 3: If they had a line that worked, apparently it would
Speaker 3: be great.
Speaker 1: But white smoke and bells. Bells are now tolling, signaling
Speaker 1: the new pope has been elected. How many hours was
Speaker 1: this jury in for? Just about twenty four About twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, my goodness.
Speaker 3: And this would be the fourth ballot, which.
Speaker 2: Would be kind of in line with what we saw
Speaker 2: on the two, not for Pope Francis, but the two
Speaker 2: previous popes.
Speaker 1: I believe it's longer than twenty four hours, because this
Speaker 1: is afternoon.
Speaker 2: We were talking yesterday that when they closed the doors.
Speaker 2: Remember right before our show started, we talked about the
Speaker 2: the Oh.
Speaker 1: That's right, they did. You're right, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 3: So it was about.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty maybe slightly more than them, Patricia was correct,
Speaker 2: But yeah, twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Wow. So I thought it was going to be a
Speaker 1: couple of days, but they've got ready to roll. Who
Speaker 1: do you think it's going to be?
Speaker 2: This?
Speaker 1: My god, the odds makers right now are going nuts.
Speaker 3: That's why I was saying I don't remember the process.
Speaker 2: Twenty thirteen was the last time we saw a process
Speaker 2: like this, And how long between the confirmation that we
Speaker 2: have a pope and the announcement of the pope.
Speaker 1: Do you think this is proof that God loves us
Speaker 1: more than the other shows?
Speaker 3: I think I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think divine timing of you walking in here and
Speaker 2: dropping your junk on the table and saying that we
Speaker 2: break stories on this show, and then all of the sudden,
Speaker 2: the Lord finds it in his heart to pump white
Speaker 2: smoke out of the chimney at the Sistine Chapel, you know.
Speaker 6: Just saying I know who you prayed to this morning.
Speaker 6: I'm telling you you may have hit you may have
Speaker 6: hit a nerve. That's that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Again, no word, And it's going to be a while
Speaker 2: before we have any idea specifically who has been elected
Speaker 2: as a pope. But the white smoke out of the chapel, sorry,
Speaker 2: the white smoke out of the chimney at the Sistine
Speaker 2: Chapel means that the College of Cardinals has chosen their
Speaker 2: next This is incredible.
Speaker 1: We'll always remember that we were together here when this happens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: You're walking in here with a certain amount of swagger.
Speaker 2: I know that's like, that's like calling your shot. It
Speaker 2: was pretty good, pretty high level. It was pretty good.
Speaker 3: We should probably just go home.
Speaker 1: We should retire.
Speaker 3: The show is over. It has gone full circle. All right, Well,
Speaker 3: we'll find some stuff out.
Speaker 2: What we know about the white smoke from the papal
Speaker 2: conclave means there is a pope a fifth ballot. I
Speaker 2: was wrong, fifth ballot. Pope elected on the fifth ballot.
Speaker 2: We'll see if we can get any of the palace intrigue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to hear about those first four ballots too.
Speaker 3: How do they choose their name?
Speaker 1: Just remember, let's get into it.
Speaker 3: Just get in their pope's name in the name of
Speaker 3: the bond.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 4: I'm fascinated by it.
Speaker 3: Garyan Shannon will continue just a moment.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: What's up, Gary and Shannon?
Speaker 2: Avn Moose bopa, aven moose bopa.
Speaker 3: We got a pope, baby, Yes we do.
Speaker 2: White smoke came out of the chimney, the one at
Speaker 2: the top of the Sistine Chapel, which means they have
Speaker 2: elected a new pope. Any moment, we're expecting to have
Speaker 2: some sort of an announcement. I don't know if it
Speaker 2: will be in Italian or Latin, or what language it
Speaker 2: will be in, but we'll let you know who.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is the order of this question? So we
Speaker 1: so the white smoke comes out, and let me see
Speaker 1: if the internet works today, because this is gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a fun thing to happen here.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming we'll hear from somebody within the hour, not
Speaker 1: just the thousands of people waiting there in Saint Peter's Square.
Speaker 1: But again, it's the two thirds majority required to win
Speaker 1: the conclave. And this was the fifth ballot, which means,
Speaker 1: you know, who knows the first ballot could have had
Speaker 1: like eighteen names rise to the chart right, and then
Speaker 1: they cluster and they caucus, probably and a name kind
Speaker 1: of circulates, or a couple names, and then it whittles
Speaker 1: down to one. But that's a pretty quick conclave. One
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three, and the majority of them were
Speaker 1: picked by Pope Francis, by the way, who cast a
Speaker 1: wide net around the world. But some people say that
Speaker 1: this may be a sign that this will be somebody
Speaker 1: who embraces his outlook continues Pope Francis's work. But the
Speaker 1: overarching feeling was that they were going to pick somebody
Speaker 1: more conservative this time around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that the pendulum was going to sort of swing
Speaker 2: back ideologically.
Speaker 1: And who knows, like what people say to become a cardinal, Like,
Speaker 1: I'll say whatever I need to to the pope to
Speaker 1: become a cardinal. I'll be like, yeah, I'm totally down
Speaker 1: with your progressive thing. Who am I to judge too,
Speaker 1: just to go ahead and become the cardinal and get
Speaker 1: that cardinal robe, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So, according to the Archdiocese of Boston, once a new
Speaker 2: pope has been elected, that pope, whoever it might be,
Speaker 2: chooses their papal name and receives the obedience of the cardinals,
Speaker 2: and then the senior cardinal deacon announces the name of
Speaker 2: the new pope, who then gives his blessing to the people,
Speaker 2: the city, the church, and the world. A new Bishop
Speaker 2: of Rome and a universal pastor of the Church has
Speaker 2: been chosen. If I'm not mistaken, one of the highest
Speaker 2: level cardinals is a cardinal here out of the United States.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't know if that changes.
Speaker 2: The order of delivery in terms of the languages that
Speaker 2: will be spoken, because this is you know, there's multiple
Speaker 2: languages that they are going to appeal to. With one
Speaker 2: point four billion Catholics around the world, how cool.
Speaker 1: Is it for the people who happened to be there
Speaker 1: in Saint Peter's Square.
Speaker 4: I mean, the people.
Speaker 1: That were there were already hearing reports about how emotional
Speaker 1: they got. You know, they did it, they did it.
Speaker 1: People just crying there at the sign of the white smoke.
Speaker 1: Rosilia Cordero is from Brazil. One of the people crying
Speaker 1: and embracing our friends. I'm so happy, it's so incredible to
Speaker 1: be here at this moment. I don't know how to
Speaker 1: express myself, but I'm grateful to God for this moment.
Speaker 1: Each billow, they said, prompted a fresh wave of emotion
Speaker 1: from the masses. Billow of smoke each well, because it
Speaker 1: kept billowing. Yeah, and there's a slight wind and there's
Speaker 1: another poof, and then another poof and then another wave
Speaker 1: of tears. The bells tolling they had only been sequestered,
Speaker 1: yes since since since yesterday. So so yeah, he's picking
Speaker 1: his papal name. That they say that that's going to
Speaker 1: indicate what pop kind of pope he intends to be.
Speaker 1: Did we have more about the names?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, among other things, the previous pope, the one
Speaker 2: who just passed away, Pope Francis. His name was Jorge
Speaker 2: Mario Bergoglio, and when the late pope was the he
Speaker 2: was the first to use the name Francis as a
Speaker 2: papal name. The most common name is John, and then
Speaker 2: you've got Benedict and Gregory and Clement and others that
Speaker 2: have been chosen more than a dozen times over the
Speaker 2: course of the popes.
Speaker 3: There have been a lot of John's.
Speaker 2: Twenty one of them have been named John, and I
Speaker 2: guess twenty three if you count the combination of John.
Speaker 2: Paul France has said that either he or Pope John
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth would be attending an event the following year.
Speaker 2: Of course, there were speculation that he would end his pontificate.
Speaker 3: Early.
Speaker 2: Gregory, Benedict, Clement, as I mentioned, were popular, though not
Speaker 2: officially recognized by the church. Anti popes, those who opposed
Speaker 2: the selection of the pope and then thought they were
Speaker 2: the rightful heads of the Catholic Church. In the history
Speaker 2: of the church, they've occasionally influenced the numbering and the
Speaker 2: sequent subsequent I should say papal names like Benedict the sixteenth,
Speaker 2: the one who came before Francis. There are twenty one John's,
Speaker 2: but no Pope John the twentieth eight Bonafaches, I think,
Speaker 2: but no Pope Bonafache the seventh.
Speaker 1: What's your money on France, Italy, Africa, America, South America?
Speaker 3: I would have said Africa if the.
Speaker 2: Hey, if Francis was a little bit more conservative, like
Speaker 2: there's a there's a consistent pattern of them kind of
Speaker 2: going back and forth, and Francis was very progressive.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if I'm.
Speaker 4: Going to go with an Italian or French. I think French,
Speaker 4: but I just.
Speaker 2: Might The cardinal that they were talking about from Africa
Speaker 2: is conservative, right he is?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So but I just that's just that's a that's
Speaker 1: a thirty to one odds on that on that race horse.
Speaker 1: You know, you look at France in Italy, you're looking
Speaker 1: at six to one odds, you're looking at a sovereignty,
Speaker 1: you know, journalism or whatever the hell that other horse
Speaker 1: was named. Okay, so so here's the deal. All eyes
Speaker 1: are on the balcony right now, because there's not much
Speaker 1: that needs to be done. You got to fill out
Speaker 1: the paperwork. What's your what's your papal name? Right, and
Speaker 1: then the dude he puts on a freshly tarraled, white
Speaker 1: tailored white cossack, that is the papal cossack. And then
Speaker 1: he puts on that ceremonial fisherman's ring. Remember we told
Speaker 1: you about the fisherman's ring.
Speaker 3: And it's new to him because the other one was crushed.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: He will be led through the Hall of Benedictions and
Speaker 1: out onto the balcony known as the Logia of the Blessings,
Speaker 1: and that is the balcony that all the cameras are
Speaker 1: trained on. It's a beautiful balcony floor to ceiling windows.
Speaker 1: There beautiful long maroon drapes tied.
Speaker 4: At the sides around it.
Speaker 1: His identity will be revealed on that balcony to the
Speaker 1: thousands gathered below and all of us watching millions around
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 4: And it's going to happen soon.
Speaker 1: This first appearance is going to happen soon because again
Speaker 1: he's just got to fill out the paperwork, put on
Speaker 1: the ring, change the robe, and showtime.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll come back hopefully it happens during hours.

Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Gary and Shannon KFI AM six forty live everywhere on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Yes, the new Pope has been elected.
Speaker 1: We will have the first appearance soon on the balcony
Speaker 1: when he will be revealed to the world. Little bit
Speaker 1: more about how popes choose their names and the significance
Speaker 1: the pope's chosen name is not just a preference, they say,
Speaker 1: or a nod to a favorite saint. It's the first
Speaker 1: message to the world about who the pope intends to be,
Speaker 1: what legacy he honors. For the first five hundred years,
Speaker 1: by the way, popes retained their birth names. In fact,
Speaker 1: the practice of adopting a new name only began with
Speaker 1: Pope John the Second in fifteen thirty three. Why he
Speaker 1: was born with the name Mercurius, and he changed his
Speaker 1: name to avoid the pagan connotations associated with Mercury, of course,
Speaker 1: the Roman god. The last pope to keep his birth
Speaker 1: name was Marcellus the Second in fifteen fifty five, so
Speaker 1: this is now customary since the Old Age of fifteen
Speaker 1: fifty five. The most popular papal names, as you mentioned, John, Gregory, Benedict, Clement,
Speaker 1: and Innocent. No formal rules on how a pope selects
Speaker 1: his name. According to an assistant professor at Notre Dame,
Speaker 1: Joshua mcmahonaway, who I think that Notre Dame gets gets to, Uh,
Speaker 1: they be the they're busy today. They're busy today, he said,
Speaker 1: few rules for the man at the top. They're allowed
Speaker 1: to choose what they want. There is an unwritten tradition. However,
Speaker 1: no pope has taken the name Peter the Second. Ah,
Speaker 1: this is out of reverence for Saint Peter, the first
Speaker 1: pope appointed by.
Speaker 4: Christ, the saint.
Speaker 1: You you named your dog after unintentionally?
Speaker 3: But yes, but Notre.
Speaker 1: Dame says, I suspect it's humility, or perhaps even because
Speaker 1: one does not want to compare oneself to the one
Speaker 1: pope we know Christ chose himself. Amen to that? Who
Speaker 1: wants to be that guy? Show a little humility around here.
Speaker 1: Not all popes chose their names based on paths. Pope
Speaker 1: Pious the Second, who led back in the fourteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: picked his name why because he loved books. He chose
Speaker 1: Pious after a character named Annias and a famous poem
Speaker 1: who was called Pius Annius. How about that?
Speaker 3: I didn't know that either.
Speaker 1: I have a friend who named her daughter after a
Speaker 1: character if she read it about in a book. And
Speaker 1: that's how popes can do it too. Another example is
Speaker 1: Pope Julius the Second. He first wanted to be called
Speaker 1: Formosis the Second because why, Gary, what do you think
Speaker 1: formosis means in.
Speaker 3: Latin first person? Formosis?
Speaker 4: Handsome?
Speaker 1: Oh, the cardinals said, how dare you?
Speaker 4: So he went with Julius the second.
Speaker 3: Instead, here's the other. That's interesting.
Speaker 2: Do you think whoever has been elected as the new
Speaker 2: pope do you think he kind of plays these off
Speaker 2: couple of the cardinals just as I was thinking Pope Lego, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they're like, nah, it doesn't what about Pope uh
Speaker 2: jeff right, it's not a real thing.
Speaker 3: What about Pope Ulysses or something?
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally. It's like your confirmation name, you know, you
Speaker 4: bounce it around.
Speaker 3: How did you?
Speaker 1: I said f you to everybody, and I went rogue
Speaker 1: with my confirmation name.
Speaker 3: Your confirmation name is rogue pretty much?
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 4: Barbara Marianna?
Speaker 3: Oh okay?
Speaker 1: And why is that? Why is that a bad?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: I kind of it took two and made a little uh,
Speaker 1: made it a little fluffy. Could have been Mary or Anne,
Speaker 1: although my middle name is Anne, right, that'd be My
Speaker 1: grandmother wanted Dolores so badly, God rest her soul, and
Speaker 1: I didn't do it.
Speaker 4: I didn't do it. I should have done it.
Speaker 1: I still get I almost said a bad word to
Speaker 1: this day from my uncle for not choosing Dolores as
Speaker 1: my confirmation name.
Speaker 4: Still gets mad at me.
Speaker 2: All of the different uniformed personnel are making their way
Speaker 2: to Saint Peter Square, just outside the logia, this big balcony,
Speaker 2: where they will make an announcement where they're actually read
Speaker 2: what is called the habeas Papem, the statement that we
Speaker 2: have elected a new Pope. And as I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 2: it would be the pastor the senior cardinal deacon who
Speaker 2: will announce the habeas papem, the name of the new Pope,
Speaker 2: and the name that or who will be the Pope,
Speaker 2: and then the papal name that they have chosen, and
Speaker 2: then the new Pope gives his blessings to all of
Speaker 2: the people there and all of the.
Speaker 4: People way in the world. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: There is something odd about the naming of the popes
Speaker 1: when it comes to John. In nineteen fifty eight, Pope
Speaker 1: John the twenty third was elected, but there was never
Speaker 1: a Pope John the twentieth. This happened because of confusion
Speaker 1: and old rec words, mistakes, and the counting of some
Speaker 1: fake popes called anti popes. So now the official list
Speaker 1: says there have been twenty one pope's named John, even
Speaker 1: though the number twenty is missing, And then if.
Speaker 2: You count the John Pauls, there were two of them,
Speaker 2: so then that makes twenty three.
Speaker 1: Now our last Pope, Pope Francis, he chose Saint Francis
Speaker 1: of Assisi. It was a big deal at the time
Speaker 1: because no pope had picked a completely new name in
Speaker 1: over one thousand years, not since Pope Lando in nine
Speaker 1: to fourteen. Pope Francis later said he was moved by
Speaker 1: Cardinal Claudio Hums, who hugged him after his election and said,
Speaker 1: don't forget the poor. That made him think of Saint
Speaker 1: Francis of Assisi, known for living simply and caring for
Speaker 1: the poor. Also the animals, as we all learned yesterday
Speaker 1: on the show, Saint Francis is the patron saint of
Speaker 1: the animals as well.
Speaker 2: I mean, this new pope, I think could simply right,
Speaker 2: and it could simply choose Pope Francis the second.
Speaker 3: I mean, if there was a plan.
Speaker 1: To continue to continue, it could.
Speaker 2: Because like you said, it's kind of an homage to
Speaker 2: whoever's sort.
Speaker 4: Of I think maybe ideology John, maybe we'd bring back John.
Speaker 1: Huh. That about another John Paul, A little nostalgia for
Speaker 1: gen X.
Speaker 3: I don't know gen X that's why they're that's who
Speaker 3: they're going from.
Speaker 1: The roof terraces of the Postolictic Palace have now been
Speaker 1: filled up with people as well.
Speaker 4: This is Vatican.
Speaker 1: Staff, Apostolic, apostolic whatever. I'll say a couple Hail Mary's
Speaker 1: later for that. The Vatican staff have come out to
Speaker 1: see their new leader. All right again, he's changing clothes.
Speaker 1: He's putting on that white papal cast Like, how do
Speaker 1: they know what kind of with size? You know, they
Speaker 1: all have their measurements, and then there's a seamstress back
Speaker 1: there who's like fitting it to him.
Speaker 2: I would guess that the cassock part of it. That's
Speaker 2: just sort of the big robe that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you need a little shape you want.
Speaker 1: To fit well. If he's got a good waist, he's
Speaker 1: got a good waist line.
Speaker 4: It's the problem thighs. Maybe let it out a little bit.
Speaker 2: It's not like the green jacket at the Masters where
Speaker 2: they measure at the top.
Speaker 3: It should be.
Speaker 2: It should be when we come back, hopefully we'll have
Speaker 2: the information about who is the new Pope. Just as
Speaker 2: the show started, thank you Lord, the white smoke came
Speaker 2: out of the chimney and we were signaling that the
Speaker 2: College of Cardinals has elected a new pope. We're waiting
Speaker 2: for the announcement as to who it will be and
Speaker 2: what their papal name will be.
Speaker 1: Gary and Shannon will continue what a wonderful day here
Speaker 1: on the program.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Big news for twenty percent, if not more, of the
Speaker 2: entire world. A white smoke poured out of the Sistine
Speaker 2: Chapel chimney this morning, signaling that a new pope has
Speaker 2: been elected to lead the Catholic Church, and we are
Speaker 2: awaiting the official habeas papem. The officials spokesman, one of
Speaker 2: the lead cardinals will come out and say we have
Speaker 2: a pope Habeas paypum.
Speaker 1: He dons, He dons the white cassock, he puts on
Speaker 1: the fisherman's ring, and then he makes his way to
Speaker 1: the balcony where he will address the people. Now, I
Speaker 1: had asked about the cassock, about the measurements, and I
Speaker 1: had assumed that because we're in Italy here there are
Speaker 1: a number of seamstresses or seamsters who are more than
Speaker 1: capable of the task. All the best seamstresses are Italian
Speaker 1: I think anyway. It turns out Keana has tracked this
Speaker 1: down for more than two hundred years. There's a family
Speaker 1: that has been clothing the popes, the men of the cloth,
Speaker 1: the Gammarelli family.
Speaker 4: Tucked away in an.
Speaker 1: Unsuspecting corner of central Rome, the tailoring shop has hands
Speaker 1: stitched the rowees worn by the last eight popes, including
Speaker 1: Pope Francis. Massimiliano Gammarelli told ABC we always work to
Speaker 1: a bit higher standard in quality for them. Whoever the
Speaker 1: Pope is. If you like him or you don't like him,
Speaker 1: that is Massimiliano, which is the best Italian name I've
Speaker 1: ever heard. And he is the head tailor there. He's
Speaker 1: been working as a tailor for forty years. He and
Speaker 1: his cousins are the sixth generation to run the family business.
Speaker 1: The store first opened in seventeen ninety eight, apparently a
Speaker 1: lot of competition at the time to dress the Vatican clergy,
Speaker 1: but over centuries, the Gamarelli family has emerged as the
Speaker 1: preferred supplier by the Vatican. They've dressed thousands of priests,
Speaker 1: hundreds of cardinals and bishops, but making the pope's official
Speaker 1: robes their highest honor. All the staff play a part,
Speaker 1: he said. So when we work, when we need to
Speaker 1: work for the Holy Father, everybody wants to work on
Speaker 1: his cassock. So everybody works on it. We don't put
Speaker 1: anybody to the side. We always work in the same
Speaker 1: way for all the popes. Whether we've got a more
Speaker 1: saucy or a more simple one, I love that, well,
Speaker 1: we get a saucy pope or a simple one.
Speaker 2: So as the cardinals got together, at least the voting cardinals,
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five potential candidates, they said for
Speaker 2: the role. Although I think the official the official eligibility
Speaker 2: rule is simply that you have to be a baptized Catholic. Yes,
Speaker 2: that's it right, and a guy, I mean, and a man,
Speaker 2: but be a baptized Catholic. They're obviously saying that the
Speaker 2: cardinals are the ones who are really the candidates. One
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five potential candidates. So how do you
Speaker 2: prepare a robe that fits one hundred and thirty five
Speaker 2: different people? So what they did basically was they just
Speaker 2: did a small, medium, and large version of them. They
Speaker 2: can go back and tailor them specifically to whoever the
Speaker 2: Pope will be but for the purposes of the heavioist papem,
Speaker 2: for the purposes of the big announcement. On the top
Speaker 2: of this balcony there at the Vatican City, you might
Speaker 2: see a rather ill fitting robe. And I'm sure that
Speaker 2: that will throw people off. Yeah, you're looking at him
Speaker 2: from a quarter mile away.
Speaker 3: I mean the people who are gathered there in the square.
Speaker 1: So crew Trema. The fashion choices are not just the cassock, guys.
Speaker 1: There's jewelry. There's shoes to think about. Of course. Pope
Speaker 1: Benedict resurrected those iconic red slippers. Remember his red slippers.
Speaker 1: Remember who could forget? He also opted for solid gold
Speaker 1: when it came to his fisherman's ring. Now, francis a
Speaker 1: more austere. Is that the right word?
Speaker 3: Osteria?
Speaker 1: He went with the simple black shoes and a recycled
Speaker 1: gold plated fisherman's ring.
Speaker 2: Of the small medium in large we mentioned the cassocks
Speaker 2: and the hats that would go on. Pope John the
Speaker 2: twenty third was a big fella, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Big guy.
Speaker 1: And what was he eaten?
Speaker 4: A lot of pasta?
Speaker 2: Huh? They had to slit his robes in the back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to do that to a pair of
Speaker 1: pants one time when I was anchoring the John and Ken.
Speaker 2: Show, exactly the same thing, for exactly the same reason.
Speaker 1: I bent down to get something out of my purse, and.
Speaker 2: Oh, you did it accidentally accident. He at least had
Speaker 2: tailors do it.
Speaker 1: So that so that his ass didn't make this lid itself.
Speaker 4: I doubt it interesting. I doubt it must be nice.
Speaker 2: They also said that Pope John Paul the second was
Speaker 2: a very athletic guy in his youth, so he had big,
Speaker 2: broad shoulders.
Speaker 4: Great shoulders. Do you remember his shoulders?
Speaker 2: I don't have built like an much recollection Pope's shoulders.
Speaker 5: I do not.
Speaker 2: The tailor says, as soon as the Holy See tells
Speaker 2: us that we must make the robes, we start immediately.
Speaker 2: Somebody makes buttonholes, somebody works out measurements, someone cuts it,
Speaker 2: someone sews it. And they said that to make the
Speaker 2: complete set they need about fifteen days.
Speaker 1: So this is going to be like a rudimentary cassock.
Speaker 1: And then once they get the once they know the
Speaker 1: guy they make, that's when they make the fresh cassock,
Speaker 1: the new cassock. I'm assuming you have several cassocks. How
Speaker 1: many times do you think I can say cassock today?
Speaker 1: Many more than you've ever said in your life. Many times.
Speaker 2: You've got different versions of what the pope does wear
Speaker 2: ceremonial guard or I mean, is there.
Speaker 1: Is there a khaki one like when Obama wore that
Speaker 1: khaki suit. Do we see a khaki cassock? I don't
Speaker 1: think so. I think it's red. I think it's white.
Speaker 1: I think it's black, maybe purple for Easter? Is there
Speaker 1: a purple one? Or do you just look at like
Speaker 1: Barney at that point? Is there a purple I feel
Speaker 1: like I've seen a purple cassock for Easter?
Speaker 3: Oh maybe, Yeah, you'd have to check.
Speaker 1: You'd have to check red and in some adorned with
Speaker 1: more design, I would assume.
Speaker 3: Does he have an away game?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Is there like the color rush Vatican City connects Jersey?
Speaker 4: Does he dress like organ at some point? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Oregon?
Speaker 1: Well, their color rush is always a little aggressive.
Speaker 3: They are all of their uniforms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we will stay on top of everything
Speaker 1: coming out of the Vatican.
Speaker 3: We have a new pope. Everybody.
Speaker 1: The white smoke began to billow out of that Chimney
Speaker 1: at the Sistine Chapel just as we were coming on
Speaker 1: the air about an hour ago. We will stay with
Speaker 1: this and bring it to you live right here on
