Summer Movies

The NBA playoffs may be unpredictable, but at least summer blockbusters deliver.   In this episode of They That Hope , Father Dave and Deacon Bob unpack the Cleveland Cavaliers’ devastating playoff collapse (RIP hope), debate baseball scandals from Pete Rose to steroid-era legends, and preview the biggest summer movies hitting theaters. From Marvel’s new Thunderbolts to the return of Mission: Impossible and a much-anticipated Fantastic Four reboot, they break down what’s worth watching and what might just be movie theater popcorn filler.  Alongside the movie chatter and sports rants, Deacon Bob introduces an exciting revival of a powerful small group ministry: Discipleship Quads. This free resource fosters spiritual growth through intentional, weekly gatherings rooted in Scripture, catechesis, and deep personal sharing. With new momentum and even a Spanish-language version, the Quads model is helping people grow in faith and community across the country. (Check it out at dquads.com .)  The episode wraps with reflections on Pope Leo XIV’s installation Mass, his moving words of humility, and the symbolic weight of receiving the Fisherman’s Ring. As the Church welcomes a new pope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob consider what might lie ahead in his papacy—including the possibility of a historic first visit to Ukraine.   As always, expect humor, brotherhood, and a reminder that our hope isn’t in playoffs or premieres—it’s in Jesus.    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) Postseason Chaos and NBA Plot Twists  Deacon Bob and Father Dave kick off the episode with a spirited sports recap, reacting to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff collapse and the unexpected shape of the NBA postseason.

This week on they that Hope the Cavs are out of the NBA playoffs.

00:05.460 --> 00:07.548
We talk about summer movies, which are exciting.

00:07.640 --> 00:09.768
We talk a little bit about the Holy Father, which is wonderful.

00:10.724 --> 00:13.477
I totally screwed up the audio on this upcoming episode.

00:13.497 --> 00:14.060
It's not about that.

00:14.260 --> 00:15.523
I hope it's okay.

00:15.604 --> 00:16.145
Hang in there.

00:16.205 --> 00:19.433
It'll come back mid-episode and we hope you enjoy the show.

00:21.141 --> 00:26.567
Theythathopepod podcastcom.

00:39.400 --> 00:44.965
Welcome to they that Hope, with Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrating 2025.

00:45.225 --> 00:48.668
At Jubilee of Hope, and our hope is not in sports.

00:48.888 --> 00:49.248
No, it's not.

00:49.408 --> 00:50.149
It is in Jesus Movies, jesus.

00:50.169 --> 00:51.050
Yep, it is, that's right.

00:51.070 --> 00:51.891
Sorry about that bud.

00:52.091 --> 00:52.771
Yeah, I'd like to.

00:52.851 --> 00:55.193
Let's begin with an apology.

00:55.233 --> 00:56.074
Who sponsors us?

00:56.214 --> 00:57.115
From Father Dave.

00:57.836 --> 00:58.857
Did we do that?

00:58.897 --> 00:59.077
thing.

01:02.441 --> 01:03.926
You're just trying to get out of apologizing.

01:03.946 --> 01:04.748
I don't have to apologize.

01:04.789 --> 01:05.210
It's not my fault.

01:05.230 --> 01:06.113
I don't have that much power.

01:06.133 --> 01:06.534
Okay, wait a second.

01:06.760 --> 01:09.307
So first of all, you told me that the Cavs were going to win.

01:09.688 --> 01:11.865
They didn't, they did not, they didn't even win one game.

01:12.625 --> 01:13.696
So they won one, didn't they?

01:13.818 --> 01:16.428
No, no, they lost all the games since you said they would win.

01:26.020 --> 01:35.370
Secondly and I believe this was Post you sat there in this chair on this show and told the listening publisher, you told Sister Mary Beth, who hangs on every word, that the NBA playoffs are the most predictable playoffs of all sports.

01:35.812 --> 01:37.853
I did mention that you did mention that, didn't you?

01:37.873 --> 01:38.399
Well, guess what?

01:38.520 --> 01:39.726
This is vaguely familiar.

01:39.880 --> 01:45.666
We've got a six, a three and a four seed team in the final four, just like I predicted.

01:45.787 --> 01:47.437
Sorry, about that.

01:48.040 --> 01:52.903
So if you were following Sister Mary Beth, if you bet on the games, we'll refund you.

01:52.943 --> 01:53.867
Yes, exactly.

01:54.361 --> 01:55.927
So the Cavs are gone.

01:56.180 --> 01:57.413
Love you, cleveland.

01:57.514 --> 02:02.925
The Celtics are gone, jason Tatum ruptured his Achilles, he's going to be out for a while.

02:02.965 --> 02:09.068
That's heartbreaking for the celtics fan and a lot of people are saying this is a, this is a changing of the guard.

02:09.168 --> 02:14.367
These kinds of teams, you know, there's no lebron, there's no kevin duran, there's no yokich.

02:14.968 --> 02:31.960
We've got oklahoma city with sga, we've got the minnesota timberwolves with anthony edwards the-Man, we have the Indiana Pacers with Tyrese, halliburton, yep and the New York Knicks with Jalen Brunson.

02:32.040 --> 02:34.439
I find this hard to say, but I think I'm rooting for the Knicks.

02:34.600 --> 02:35.525
I think I might be too.

02:36.281 --> 02:39.527
They haven't had a championship in like 25 years.

02:39.687 --> 02:42.312
Oh, maybe longer, oh, I think so.

02:42.352 --> 02:45.143
Maybe, maybe it's been longer, maybe.

02:45.163 --> 02:50.287
But no, they said the city is just as excited as can be, so we can root for the Knicks.

02:50.368 --> 02:51.010
I think we could.

02:51.220 --> 03:00.478
I started to Google last time and the first thing that came up was Knicks won the championship, which was 1973.

03:01.227 --> 03:02.279
Yeah, so that's one in 25 years.

03:02.420 --> 03:06.819
Their last appearance in the NBA Finals was 1999.

03:06.839 --> 03:09.388
Okay, so I think that was what I was referring to.

03:09.460 --> 03:14.820
They haven't made it to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000, so that must be so.

03:14.840 --> 03:20.712
What they're saying is it's been 25 years since they've been in the Eastern Conference Finals, which they are in with Indiana.

03:20.952 --> 03:21.974
Well, congratulations.

03:22.060 --> 03:31.044
I think the official position of this podcast is go next okay, there you go, folks, sister.

03:31.084 --> 03:32.248
Now what about in the west coast?

03:32.268 --> 03:32.830
Place your money on it.

03:32.850 --> 03:33.332
Do we care um minnesota?

03:33.372 --> 03:34.657
Okay, I'll go oklahoma, okay, all right there you go sister.

03:34.677 --> 03:35.520
So are we doing this now?

03:35.540 --> 03:38.028
So I'll go oklahoma city and the pacers are you?

03:38.068 --> 03:41.138
Yeah, yeah yes, I am, because they beat you.

03:41.298 --> 03:43.664
The enemy of my enemy is my friend yep, exactly.

03:43.984 --> 03:48.474
So I've got the Knicks and Minnesota and you've got Oklahoma and Perfect.

03:49.121 --> 03:50.828
It should be a lot of fun.

03:51.008 --> 03:51.430
That's right.

03:51.680 --> 03:56.049
Just because some people do listen to hockey things, do they really?

03:56.069 --> 03:59.909
They do, they don't the oh.

03:59.929 --> 04:00.051
Who's?

04:00.092 --> 04:00.538
The Toronto team?

04:00.740 --> 04:01.483
The Maple Leafs.

04:02.801 --> 04:04.846
Once again lost in a game seven Gone.

04:04.866 --> 04:07.351
It's their seventh elimination.

04:15.344 --> 04:16.046
They were looking so good.

04:16.066 --> 04:16.226
And now?

04:16.246 --> 04:17.529
they're gone and who beat them?

04:17.589 --> 04:18.411
The Florida Posers.

04:18.431 --> 04:26.223
So there's other teams involved, but I was just thinking of Paul Symington, who teaches philosophy.

04:26.243 --> 04:27.127
Here is a Canadian and a huge Leafs fan.

04:27.148 --> 04:27.369
He must be.

04:27.389 --> 04:28.313
He's wondering is there truth?

04:28.333 --> 04:28.615
Is there truth?

04:28.635 --> 04:31.426
Well, he's a philosopher, he believes in it, things like this shake you.

04:32.523 --> 04:33.928
Okay, here's our issue.

04:34.521 --> 04:41.283
We're keeping track of the Colorado Rockies, perhaps the worst team this podcast is brought to you, by the way, by a Franciscan University student.

04:41.303 --> 04:48.970
Go to faithandreasoncom and osvpodcastcom Perhaps the worst so far, tracking to be the worst.

04:49.311 --> 04:50.512
Make sure you like us.

04:50.552 --> 04:52.053
Give us a thumbs up or subscribe.

04:52.134 --> 04:53.695
I'm sorry, are you talking about something interesting?

04:53.715 --> 04:54.476
Yes, oh what.

04:54.496 --> 04:55.457
Here's what's going to happen.

04:55.497 --> 04:56.841
What Do you follow?

04:56.862 --> 04:59.089
Babylon Bee Sometimes.

04:59.169 --> 04:59.350
I do.

05:08.400 --> 05:10.503
I get, I don't follow them they follow me.

05:10.523 --> 05:14.429
They put out a thing that said that all of their team got in trouble with PIDs performance inhibiting drugs.

05:14.449 --> 05:15.391
Are the Rockies that bad?

05:15.431 --> 05:16.172
Are they worse than the White Sox?

05:16.192 --> 05:17.073
Yes, yes, they're 7-38.

05:17.775 --> 05:18.856
Wow, they've not won two games in a row all year.

05:18.876 --> 05:19.958
So it's really, really funny.

05:19.978 --> 05:21.120
Wow, that's kind of crazy.

05:21.140 --> 05:23.682
Okay, speaking of baseball, yeah, that's right, we talked about Pete Rose.

05:23.802 --> 05:32.614
This is listen when you follow baseball or any sports really reported when they start talking about big questions facing the world, it is.

05:32.994 --> 05:34.476
Should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame?

05:34.980 --> 05:36.202
When he died months ago.

05:36.362 --> 05:37.624
We wept, did we?

05:37.644 --> 05:40.208
But we also discussed whether or not he should have been in the Hall of Fame.

05:40.228 --> 05:40.829
And what did I say?

05:40.849 --> 05:41.130
I have no idea.

05:41.149 --> 05:41.370
Okay, yeah.

05:41.790 --> 05:42.231
So they just came out.

05:42.251 --> 05:42.572
What did I say?

05:42.592 --> 05:42.992
I have no idea.

05:43.092 --> 05:46.077
okay, yeah so they just came out what did you say?

05:46.457 --> 05:49.570
I said I probably said I don't know, I struggle with this one.

05:49.610 --> 05:57.382
Yeah, but they just came out, the commissioner just came and said, given that he's dead, he got quote unquote a lifetime ban and he can't do anything there at baseball.

05:57.402 --> 06:00.866
Yeah, that's fair, he can be voted on, okay, okay.

06:00.906 --> 06:04.932
So here's the question he broke the number one rule.

06:05.793 --> 06:07.515
He bet on baseball, yes.

06:12.020 --> 06:13.146
So I think today I'm tending to think he should be going.

06:13.166 --> 06:14.935
I mean, he's one of the best players who's ever played.

06:15.881 --> 06:19.203
All of his that they were aware of the rules that he broke.

06:19.244 --> 06:22.308
He broke them while he was the manager, not while he was playing, although one year he was a manager.

06:22.234 --> 06:23.623
Okay, while he was the manager.

06:23.643 --> 06:24.918
Not while he was playing, although one year he was a manager.

06:25.800 --> 06:35.588
So I think he should probably go in to the Hall of Fame with a stipulation on his little plaque that said he broke the number one rule of baseball.

06:35.660 --> 06:40.989
They're also gonna let Shoeless Joe Jackson play, yeah, so actually what occurred was?

06:42.083 --> 06:54.162
it was what you just said People who've had a lifetime ban when they are dead no longer have the lifetime ban, and now he's leaving it back to the peoples who vote on such things.

06:54.282 --> 06:58.996
So he didn't he didn't see they can't be right, they could say.

06:59.217 --> 07:00.882
They could say no, we don't want to do it.

07:00.942 --> 07:01.984
But what he the?

07:02.044 --> 07:09.486
The new statement is if you have a lifetime ban and you die, then people can make decisions.

07:09.546 --> 07:12.914
I guess now the big question is what if you are baptized?

07:13.701 --> 07:14.062
you know if?

07:14.263 --> 07:19.422
If you are baptized, it depends if it's baptized of desire, baptism of desire or baptism of blood.

07:19.563 --> 07:20.286
Sure, that makes sense.

07:20.306 --> 07:21.834
That makes sense, that's all okay.

07:21.854 --> 07:22.939
So here's the issue, though.

07:22.960 --> 07:25.368
Okay, so you've got p Rose, who's banned.

07:25.569 --> 07:38.787
Yes, but you have some of the other players who were not banned, but because they used steroids, they haven't received it necessarily both, such as Kirk Clemon, barry Bonds, oh really, yeah, oh I think, yeah, I thought they just got in with an.

07:38.887 --> 07:40.869
A Mark McGuire, same thing.

07:40.889 --> 07:42.231
Sammy Sosa Nope, same thing.

07:42.331 --> 07:44.113
All of those guys, all of those guys.

07:44.133 --> 07:49.078
So none of them are in, and basically because of PEDs, not PIDs, no PEDs.

07:49.539 --> 07:49.759
Okay.

07:49.779 --> 07:51.587
So here's the thing Performance Enhancing Trust.

07:51.607 --> 07:54.723
Here's the thing, Just paying attention For Pete Rose.

07:54.763 --> 07:56.983
He bet on baseball, but that didn't.

07:57.525 --> 07:59.090
It didn't affect his statistics.

08:05.820 --> 08:05.941
I hits.

08:05.961 --> 08:06.944
He had 4,200 hits.

08:06.964 --> 08:08.049
I don't know if he was betting or not.

08:08.069 --> 08:09.414
He had 4,200 hits and he wasn't betting on.

08:09.434 --> 08:10.257
He wasn't changing any outcomes of games.

08:10.277 --> 08:15.548
I believe Not, as a player, correct, but the guys who used steroids that impacted their statistics.

08:16.822 --> 08:21.748
So I think, in some ways, if you use steroids, that should be Well first off.

08:21.800 --> 08:39.831
They've not been voted in and they may never be, but those guys in some ways granted, it's weird, he broke the number one rule and that is betting on baseball, but the guys that actually use steroids, who so far have not been voted into the Hall of Fame.

08:39.851 --> 08:41.695
They benefited from the rule they broke?

08:41.735 --> 08:43.639
Yes, so I don't think they should know anything.

08:45.660 --> 08:45.720
Now.

08:45.740 --> 08:46.424
Are they allowed to now be voted?

08:46.444 --> 08:47.811
On though no, they've been voted on right, they just haven't been.

08:47.851 --> 08:48.675
Yeah, not enough people voted right.

08:48.695 --> 08:49.640
Yeah, so that wasn't a change in the rule thing.

08:50.382 --> 08:52.406
They didn't get a lifetime, exactly like that.

08:53.288 --> 08:55.152
Um, I agree with your statement.

08:55.513 --> 08:58.985
I I agree okay, let's just note that I would be more favorable.

08:59.086 --> 09:01.752
You and I agree, that's right may, may 19th.

09:02.052 --> 09:07.492
I'm more favorable to someone like pete Rose getting in to somebody Like Barry Bonds.

09:07.572 --> 09:08.213
Like Barry Bonds.

09:08.781 --> 09:12.725
Sammy Sosa should get in Just because he plays for the White Sox, because he plays for the Cubs.

09:13.321 --> 09:15.285
Now here's the question though Did you ever see the movie.

09:15.325 --> 09:16.308
I can't believe I'm quoting it.

09:16.669 --> 09:17.290
Eight Men Out.

09:18.032 --> 09:18.293
I did.

09:18.640 --> 09:19.722
Yeah, isn't that a great movie?

09:19.742 --> 09:24.310
Yeah, so Eight Men Out, if you like baseball movies or even if you just like movies kind of.

09:25.192 --> 09:26.595
I found it really, really interesting.

09:26.660 --> 09:29.880
It was about the 1908, does that sound right?

09:30.020 --> 09:33.960
Chicago White Sox 1908 or 1918, something like that.

09:34.040 --> 09:34.982
Yeah, something like that.

09:35.143 --> 09:38.231
Oh, actually we're going to have another, actually before you, and I report 1919.

09:38.592 --> 09:46.991
Right, so they threw a World Series, which is a big deal, and when you say they, you mean all the White Sox.

09:47.031 --> 09:47.872
Well, that's the question.

09:47.952 --> 09:50.035
It is the question who did it's Julius Joe.

09:50.360 --> 09:54.468
Well, julius Joe was not convicted of this crime.

09:55.289 --> 09:56.031
The others were.

09:56.051 --> 10:00.068
Yeah, but he was not Right and he batted some of like 400.

10:00.240 --> 10:01.385
He did really really well.

10:01.485 --> 10:02.148
Yeah, it's interesting.

10:02.320 --> 10:08.756
And yet at the time and gave him a lifetime ban.

10:09.125 --> 10:10.448
Now, did you go to any of those games?

10:10.809 --> 10:12.251
I did yeah, yeah.

10:12.312 --> 10:12.833
I was in.

10:13.434 --> 10:14.135
You're a big fan.

10:14.817 --> 10:15.398
Exactly.

10:15.618 --> 10:19.134
Exactly, but you know, you mentioned it's the number one rule in baseball.

10:19.826 --> 10:25.881
And the reason it's the number one rule in baseball, I would guess, is because of scandals such as the Whiteside.

10:25.902 --> 10:26.043
Scandal.

10:26.083 --> 10:32.793
Yeah, yeah, it brings in the integrity of the game, you would think actually a bigger rule in baseball would be don't roid up.

10:32.813 --> 10:36.137
That to me would seem like a bigger number one rule.

10:36.238 --> 10:37.359
I mean don't throw the game.

10:37.639 --> 10:40.343
Yeah, obviously, okay, I guess that would be the number one rule in baseball.

10:40.483 --> 10:48.697
Yeah, and that's cheating, don't cheat, right, right, but cheating is also doing PEDs, and now that everything's legal, it's just so weird about the betting stuff.

10:48.777 --> 10:49.678
Isn't it, it is, it is.

10:49.698 --> 10:51.300
It really begs the whole question.

10:51.400 --> 10:52.721
Everybody's betting.

10:52.761 --> 10:53.841
You can't bet on your own teams.

10:53.861 --> 10:54.762
You can't bet on baseball.

10:57.967 --> 10:59.290
Mlb's telling everybody to go and bet.

10:59.310 --> 11:02.298
They're playing in stadiums sponsored by betting companies.

11:06.645 --> 11:09.560
The whole thing's kind of weird, but for the integrity of the game it has to be that way.

11:09.580 --> 11:11.888
You can't have them betting on their own team or not betting on their own team.

11:11.909 --> 11:12.771
That's what somebody said.

11:12.851 --> 11:16.208
It's like well, pete Rose bet on his own team, but he didn't do it every night.

11:16.449 --> 11:21.091
Well, exactly, exactly the nights that he didn't, right?

11:21.512 --> 11:22.575
So the whole thing was interesting.

11:22.615 --> 11:25.013
Okay, real quick, we need to get sister Mary back.

11:25.285 --> 11:26.912
Oh, I do want to say one last thing about baseball.

11:27.525 --> 11:29.148
Why don't you just ask me a question about what I think about PEDs?

11:29.168 --> 11:30.610
Well, you just asked me a question about what I think about PEDs.

11:30.630 --> 11:36.540
You know it was so exciting when the home run stuff was happening with Mark oh my gosh, Sammy Sosa.

11:36.585 --> 11:37.884
When people say it was great for baseball.

11:38.166 --> 11:39.532
It was great for baseball, yeah.

11:39.846 --> 11:41.653
So legalize it.

11:43.488 --> 11:47.238
Well, that's one of the arguments some people make is during that era everybody was juicing.

11:47.525 --> 11:50.532
So it's not like only Barry Ponds, the guys who were pitching.

11:50.672 --> 11:56.124
I just say let them juice, let them juice baby, the more the merrier.

11:56.545 --> 11:59.552
I mean like let's 200 home runs in a season.

12:00.591 --> 12:02.705
I want a baseball going through somebody's gloves.

12:02.825 --> 12:03.611
Okay, let me just ask how much you?

12:03.631 --> 12:05.725
What is a good season for home runs?

12:05.845 --> 12:05.986
Like?

12:06.026 --> 12:08.815
What would be a number, this many home runs per season?

12:08.865 --> 12:13.854
What do you think a really good season is For a person?

12:13.758 --> 12:14.942
Yeah, like Aaron Judge, what do you think he's going to get this year?

12:15.003 --> 12:15.723
Didn't he get like 60?

12:16.045 --> 12:17.131
Okay, yeah, you're in the ballpark.

12:17.386 --> 12:20.322
I was just wondering if you had any idea what a good season is 500.

12:21.265 --> 12:24.335
Oh, yeah, that's 495 home runs.

12:24.925 --> 12:26.572
Okay, so here's another question.

12:27.046 --> 12:30.712
I mean, let Sister Mary Beth know, scot, let Sister Mary Beth know, scotty Scheffler won PGA.

12:30.813 --> 12:31.674
Yes, he did so.

12:31.714 --> 12:33.858
The second of the major was Scotty Scheffler.

12:36.947 --> 12:38.569
Rory did not play well, so there he goes.

12:38.589 --> 12:42.434
That was Bob, it's me, and okay, so that was it the Preakness.

12:42.735 --> 12:43.596
Wait, that's it about golf.

12:43.656 --> 12:44.898
Yeah, that's enough, that's fine.

12:44.918 --> 12:45.379
Preakness.

12:45.799 --> 12:46.520
Journalism won.

12:47.606 --> 12:49.651
Yes, the horse talking about horses now, right, right, right.

12:49.671 --> 12:51.254
So the Belmont is next week.

12:51.295 --> 12:52.518
Next, it's in three weeks.

12:53.486 --> 12:55.630
Okay, just give us, mayor Beth, a total heads up.

12:57.173 --> 13:00.559
The Kentucky Derby was won by Secretary huh.

13:00.805 --> 13:02.810
No, sovereignty, sovereignty.

13:02.870 --> 13:05.375
Preakness was won by Johnny Journalism.

13:05.455 --> 13:06.237
Right, all right.

13:06.297 --> 13:10.433
And the two of them did not race in the Preakness, so they're going to go head-to-head in Belmont.

13:10.633 --> 13:11.736
They went head-to-head in the.

13:11.776 --> 13:12.818
Kentucky In the Kentucky Derby.

13:12.838 --> 13:14.404
Yeah, folks, you are going crazy.

13:14.667 --> 13:15.595
I know you're on the edge of your seat.

13:15.616 --> 13:16.504
You're going to have to wait three weeks.

13:16.745 --> 13:18.432
This like takes like five seconds.

13:18.505 --> 13:20.692
They just kind of go around the lap, right?

13:20.712 --> 13:21.394
Yeah, yeah.

13:24.589 --> 13:25.850
I mean more than five seconds, do they?

13:26.351 --> 13:26.831
all wear.

13:27.632 --> 13:28.153
What do you think?

13:28.193 --> 13:31.337
What hat would you wear if you were a horse owner?

13:31.618 --> 13:34.441
I would wear one with a penguin and a hockey.

13:34.585 --> 13:35.849
That's because you're looking at me.

13:35.930 --> 13:37.375
Oh, that's all right, let's put it over there.

13:38.826 --> 13:41.353
So I'm going to two baseball games in the next two weeks, Are you really?

13:41.373 --> 13:42.155
That makes me happy.

13:42.195 --> 13:42.937
Who's playing?

13:44.026 --> 13:48.425
The Pirates and the Brewers and the Pirates, and I don't know who else.

13:48.906 --> 13:50.771
We're doing an alumni event next Tuesday.

13:50.791 --> 13:51.353
I don't know who else.

13:51.373 --> 13:52.556
I hope Skeen pitches for you.

13:52.705 --> 13:54.237
I haven't seen him pitch yet I know.

13:55.986 --> 14:00.251
I'll tell you who isn't pitching who Jose Alvarez or whatever it is.

14:01.545 --> 14:03.410
He got suspended 80 years for PEDs.

14:03.611 --> 14:06.571
80 years Whoops, that seems like a lot.

14:07.165 --> 14:09.633
That's a long suspension 80 games.

14:11.178 --> 14:12.482
We don't do lifetime bans anymore.

14:12.502 --> 14:13.405
No, that's right, we'll just do it.

14:13.505 --> 14:14.547
We'll just do it by decade.

14:14.768 --> 14:15.670
Well, that's our sports.

14:18.997 --> 14:26.730
Speaking of movies, okay, well, normally, just let people know we're going to have the promo between second and third, because they're all confused now.

14:26.851 --> 14:27.593
Yes, they do.

14:27.633 --> 14:29.097
Yes, they do here, I'll do this.

14:33.845 --> 14:34.868
All right, now, check, now, check, now check.

14:34.908 --> 14:35.229
There you go.

14:35.249 --> 14:36.773
Yeah, that was our promo, everybody, all right.

14:36.833 --> 14:38.477
So I went to a movie the other night, I know, last night.

14:38.497 --> 14:41.425
Yes, it was amazing, wasn't it Amazing?

14:41.445 --> 14:43.163
Yes, sister Mary Beth, can Sister Mary Beth go to movies?

14:43.465 --> 14:46.692
I don't know, sister Mary Beth, let us able to take.

14:46.712 --> 14:50.981
You know, you should see the video right now.

14:51.021 --> 14:51.783
Look, I'm disgusted.

14:51.803 --> 14:52.685
I'm not disgusted.

14:53.006 --> 14:56.342
I just don't think it's a good idea for sister mary, beth and I to go to a movie.

14:56.382 --> 14:56.845
Well, we could.

14:57.025 --> 14:58.591
How's we all good?

14:58.611 --> 15:00.497
The three of us could do well, that's different.

15:00.517 --> 15:01.681
Well, yeah, it'd be fun.

15:02.203 --> 15:04.713
So myself and the friars went to thunderbolt last night.

15:04.733 --> 15:07.544
Yes, thunderbolts thunderbolts, which was great.

15:07.604 --> 15:10.230
Yeah, it was a great movie, it's a new marvel movie.

15:10.912 --> 15:18.477
Uh, it feels like old school Marvel in a happy way, like just great ensemble characters, really good action.

15:20.105 --> 15:20.748
It had a guy named.

15:20.788 --> 15:21.450
Bob in it.

15:22.053 --> 15:22.394
That's right.

15:22.425 --> 15:26.612
Bob said the movie was so great so I texted him afterwards and I said now I know why you love the movie.

15:26.786 --> 15:28.204
One of the main characters' name is Bob.

15:28.545 --> 15:30.129
Yeah yeah, it's great and I love that.

15:30.169 --> 15:34.058
At the very end it said the new Avengers and Bob will return soon.

15:34.605 --> 15:37.014
What was that whole thing at the very end with the four?

15:37.765 --> 15:39.570
Oh, I'm so glad you stuck around and said it.

15:39.610 --> 15:43.050
So this summer I'm not a rookie, I know, but that's a fantastic four.

15:43.145 --> 15:43.838
That is a fantastic four.

15:44.285 --> 15:45.732
But why would that be a big thing?

15:45.825 --> 15:47.068
Do those guys not like each other?

15:47.188 --> 15:50.214
Okay, so we're talking about there's a multiverse.

15:50.414 --> 15:51.937
David, oh no not multiverse.

15:51.957 --> 15:54.572
There's a multiverse, I know, but they're all going to come together.

15:55.005 --> 15:55.848
No, why can't?

15:55.869 --> 15:57.394
we just live in one verse.

15:57.505 --> 15:59.894
This summer we have the fantastic four.

15:59.985 --> 16:01.291
It's called First Steps.

16:01.625 --> 16:05.394
It's really cool looking, it's like a retro, futuristic thing.

16:05.966 --> 16:09.216
So that's happening in its own little different universe world of things.

16:13.305 --> 16:18.789
Well, by seeing at the end of Thunderbolts, there's this anomaly going on and they look in the thing and it's the Fantastic Four spaceship.

16:18.869 --> 16:28.698
It means that the Fantastic Four are coming into our universe or whatever universe you think so like two worlds collide rather than nations.

16:28.799 --> 16:31.451
Exactly, I don't like multiverse.

16:31.532 --> 16:32.487
Let's just live in the verse.

16:32.547 --> 16:33.189
We don't need a multiverse.

16:33.209 --> 16:34.052
You want to drive revelations?

16:34.072 --> 16:34.835
Exactly, I don't like multiverse.

16:34.855 --> 16:35.176
I know you don't.

16:35.196 --> 16:35.839
Let's just live in the verse.

16:35.859 --> 16:36.501
Yeah, we don't need a multiverse.

16:36.541 --> 16:37.224
You want to drive a verse?

16:37.244 --> 16:37.605
Yeah, yeah, okay.

16:37.985 --> 16:41.596
So Bob and I are going to talk about summer movies a little bit.

16:41.725 --> 16:44.713
So, first off, I don't know that we've ever talked.

16:44.753 --> 16:49.437
Not my first job, but one of my first jobs was working in a movie theater.

16:49.497 --> 16:50.358
Oh, working in the movie theater.

16:50.378 --> 16:51.399
Oh, really, I got fired.

16:51.419 --> 16:52.159
Oh, wow, I didn't get fired.

16:52.239 --> 16:54.061
Okay, but they didn't give us real clear.

16:54.081 --> 16:55.602
They said we could let friends in free.

16:56.126 --> 16:58.696
Oh, occasionally, okay, but isn't that what?

16:58.737 --> 17:00.668
is occasionally, that's true.

17:01.230 --> 17:03.751
It's their fault, it's totally their fault.

17:03.846 --> 17:08.207
Apparently, 11 people in one movie was too many, yeah, so they didn't fire me.

17:08.227 --> 17:09.593
They just said Don't come back.

17:09.693 --> 17:11.495
Didn't fire me, they just said don't come back.

17:11.515 --> 17:12.056
Okay, that was good.

17:12.076 --> 17:15.900
Don't let the door hit you on the way up you can come back, but we're not going to pay you anymore.

17:16.040 --> 17:19.269
I think that's called being fired was great, though I ate all the popcorn.

17:19.449 --> 17:20.431
What, what, what's your?

17:21.032 --> 17:24.599
Your snack go-to and movie beer and?

17:25.946 --> 17:26.727
beer, beer.

17:26.747 --> 17:27.607
There you go.

17:27.627 --> 17:29.609
I don't really like the.

17:29.689 --> 17:32.612
Uh Gosh, you're a communist.

17:32.672 --> 17:36.395
No, it's just you know and you know how they have butter flavor.

17:36.655 --> 17:38.357
Yeah, it's not, it's just oil.

17:38.537 --> 17:39.538
There's a funny story about it.

17:39.558 --> 17:46.785
So when I was working at the theater, my brother it was my brother, I think came in and said you know?

17:46.806 --> 17:47.747
I said do you want butter and popcorn?

17:47.768 --> 17:50.212
He goes that'd be great, but that greasy oil stuff that you have there is fine.

17:50.232 --> 17:52.838
Yeah, yeah, exactly so.

17:52.858 --> 17:57.796
When, when you think when you're younger, you think of like summer movie, what, what, what comes to mind?

17:57.836 --> 18:07.227
What was like the summer blockbuster movie for you when you were a wee lab, jaws yeah, yeah, probably okay, yeah, I don't even I would have been me.

18:07.768 --> 18:09.190
I'm gonna take a guess and then Google it.

18:09.250 --> 18:13.276
Okay, I'm going to guess like 76, 77.

18:13.296 --> 18:14.157
When did Jaws come out?

18:15.399 --> 18:16.180
That sounds about right.

18:16.200 --> 18:16.680
Oh, google it.

18:16.801 --> 18:18.122
Oh gosh, am I going to do that.

18:18.903 --> 18:20.449
Yeah, so that was probably that was.

18:20.630 --> 18:22.255
Oh yeah, that was Bad Men's Bears.

18:22.845 --> 18:24.967
You know the movie, the baseball movie.

18:25.467 --> 18:27.688
I do know that 1975.

18:27.708 --> 18:28.889
Oh it's a little late, yeah, yeah.

18:28.909 --> 18:29.410
So what's your?

18:29.430 --> 18:30.610
summer blockbuster movie.

18:32.432 --> 18:38.136
I mean, I'm thinking Empire Strikes Back, because that was 1980.

18:38.176 --> 18:39.217
That was a summer movie.

18:39.237 --> 18:40.638
Yeah, it came out in May.

18:40.738 --> 18:43.900
That was a big one, but I was looking forward to that.

18:43.940 --> 18:47.703
The one that I probably think of when I think of a summer blockbuster would be ET.

18:48.323 --> 18:50.024
Oh, I remember that we had to sit in the front row.

18:50.084 --> 18:50.745
Yeah, it was awful.

18:51.548 --> 18:53.264
So that was just such a great classic.

18:53.385 --> 18:55.634
That was one where they go Deplane, deplane, right.

18:56.386 --> 18:59.034
No, that's Fantasy Island and that's Tattoo.

18:59.156 --> 19:02.090
Et's very different, but they're both short.

19:02.231 --> 19:03.387
Yeah, they're really great.

19:06.291 --> 19:06.815
That's good.

19:06.835 --> 19:08.907
That could either be ET or the.

19:08.947 --> 19:09.508
Untouchables?

19:09.569 --> 19:13.585
I'm not sure exactly what you're going for, but it all works Well.

19:13.605 --> 19:16.375
We have some really fun summer movies that I'm excited about.

19:16.865 --> 19:21.657
So Thunderbolts kicked it off, which is a great beginning to our summer movies.

19:21.817 --> 19:25.019
Yep Mission Impossible, the final reckoning.

19:25.099 --> 19:27.732
Yep Dung dung dung that's going to be out this weekend actually.

19:27.845 --> 19:30.334
So go get your movie theater tickets now.

19:39.125 --> 19:39.462
I'm very excited.

19:39.290 --> 19:39.984
I think that's been a shockingly good series.

19:39.812 --> 19:42.790
You said what you want about that's been a good series.

19:42.618 --> 19:42.829
Yeah, it's been very nice.

19:42.656 --> 19:43.034
Every one of them I've enjoyed.

19:42.861 --> 19:44.460
There's good, they're actually yeah, and they all.

19:44.680 --> 19:47.046
They're next to me and they all stay in the same universe.

19:47.387 --> 19:48.910
There's no, there's no multi versus.

19:49.331 --> 19:52.057
Okay, you really, I am, can I okay.

19:52.097 --> 19:54.937
We have moms and dads Mostly moms, let's be honest.

19:55.078 --> 19:55.664
You listen right.

19:55.765 --> 19:57.351
Well, the dads have stopped listening, that's right.

19:57.371 --> 19:58.134
Another one of those sorts.

19:58.867 --> 20:00.052
Is there a movie out for kids?

20:00.745 --> 20:02.330
Well, I'm so glad you asked.

20:02.350 --> 20:03.895
Thanks, I don't know.

20:05.586 --> 20:08.392
There's some live action movies from cartoons.

20:08.412 --> 20:09.774
I don't know how I feel about them.

20:10.335 --> 20:12.659
How to Train your Dragon is going to be live action.

20:14.485 --> 20:15.587
It looks amazing.

20:15.607 --> 20:18.830
Lilo and Stitch live action Looks interesting.

20:19.671 --> 20:19.932
I don't know.

20:19.952 --> 20:21.674
I just wonder, like why are we doing this?

20:21.934 --> 20:26.099
But then people go see them, so that's exactly why they do them.

20:26.259 --> 20:28.061
The Smurfs have a new movie coming out.

20:28.161 --> 20:36.796
Okay, so I would say there's not like like a ton of super exciting things that are that are coming up by far mission impossible.

20:36.816 --> 20:39.524
It's going to be the big movie this summer well, right.

20:39.704 --> 20:43.115
Well, let me throw out some other things that might rock that boat or friend.

20:43.476 --> 20:46.570
So I think mission impossible definitely will be up there.

20:46.690 --> 20:49.321
I think the fantastic four movie has a very good shot.

20:49.642 --> 20:50.325
It looks awesome.

20:50.466 --> 20:52.464
Fantastic for my favorite comic book I am.

20:53.125 --> 20:57.773
If they get this right, I would be so happy Superman.

20:58.014 --> 20:59.156
The new Superman movie, that's right, that's right.

20:59.196 --> 21:00.698
You mentioned that that's this summer too.

21:00.879 --> 21:01.580
That's this summer.

21:01.705 --> 21:03.152
It looks absolutely amazing.

21:03.285 --> 21:05.239
Bob, are we going to go to these movies together?

21:05.465 --> 21:07.974
Well, I invited you to Mission Impossible.

21:14.505 --> 21:15.706
Some of us are working In the evening.

21:15.583 --> 21:16.271
Yeah, that's just dumb, you're right, you just work them too hard.

21:16.148 --> 21:19.153
Yeah, that's, that's your problem, you're just working too hard.

21:19.655 --> 21:23.408
Um, the Jurassic Park, that one does look kind of interesting.

21:23.730 --> 21:26.968
Scarlett Johansson, black Widow, that's right, makes a return.

21:27.049 --> 21:28.594
There you go, so now you're excited.

21:28.886 --> 21:29.830
Uh it looks interesting.

21:29.870 --> 21:31.879
I mean it could be really bad, but it could be really bad.

21:31.899 --> 21:32.904
But it could be really good.

21:32.924 --> 21:37.475
Yeah, they always look good, I know they do, and you just watch the preview, that's all you need.

21:37.585 --> 21:38.670
Yeah, I mean sometimes that's all you need.

21:39.105 --> 21:41.817
So I think all of those movies are some of the oh.

21:41.917 --> 21:48.210
Here's something I'm looking forward to in a really twisted way Spinal.

21:49.171 --> 21:49.652
Tap 2.

21:49.692 --> 21:50.774
Yeah, no's the thing.

21:50.794 --> 21:52.096
We need to go back to Thunderbolts.

21:52.437 --> 21:53.719
It was a little cheesy.

21:56.945 --> 21:57.206
You know that.

21:57.226 --> 21:58.270
How do you deal with difficult things.

21:58.330 --> 21:59.354
It was actually really funny.

21:59.625 --> 22:03.793
You just tamp it down, but then it's kind of like a huggy thing.

22:03.945 --> 22:04.749
Let's all get better.

22:06.708 --> 22:08.534
I mean, you're not expecting a lot of deaths.

22:09.926 --> 22:11.752
Black Widow was really movie.

22:12.907 --> 22:13.733
I'm just a lot of deaths.

22:13.773 --> 22:14.639
Black Widow was very was really good.

22:14.659 --> 22:15.505
You're just not remembering right.

22:16.027 --> 22:17.332
One movie that looks interesting is F1.

22:18.267 --> 22:26.710
Oh, that does look pretty good With Brad Pitt, with Brad Pitt and I that could be like uh-huh, I wasn't expecting that to be great, but it could actually be great and that might be really fun to do.

22:28.186 --> 22:32.754
Lee and Neeson, for some reason, is remaking the Naked Gun movie.

22:33.556 --> 22:34.282
Oh, that could be funny.

22:34.343 --> 22:35.372
I know that could be funny.

22:36.056 --> 22:37.120
It could potentially be funny.

22:37.361 --> 22:40.803
It could also be horrible, but anyway, we'll just see.

22:40.915 --> 22:43.404
So those, I would say, are the summer movie highlights.

22:43.756 --> 22:44.974
Folks, we're going to keep you posted.

22:45.035 --> 22:46.593
So which movies are we going to go see together?

22:47.276 --> 22:48.807
Either Fantastic Four, which is.

22:48.827 --> 22:49.452
When is that coming out?

22:50.356 --> 22:51.100
I think July.

22:51.816 --> 22:52.738
I think it's July 4th.

22:52.758 --> 22:55.563
We're going to have to wait until I get back.

22:55.583 --> 22:55.964
Wait what?

22:55.984 --> 22:56.746
Where are you going to be?

22:56.806 --> 22:57.908
I don't know.

23:00.637 --> 23:01.218
That sounds great.

23:01.238 --> 23:02.862
I can't wait to go to the movie.

23:03.784 --> 23:07.371
It's going to be awesome, alright, hey, preview See, I see what you did there, I know.

23:11.518 --> 23:14.764
But now you're just making it up.

23:16.927 --> 23:18.029
Yeah, I am making it up.

23:18.189 --> 23:21.675
Well, I don't need to read anything, because I'm actually really psyched about this.

23:21.795 --> 23:25.803
So something we did at Franciscan, a number of years ago is.

23:25.823 --> 23:28.809
We created a free resource called Discipleship Quants.

23:29.715 --> 23:34.407
It is a group of four people that you know, meet together once a week.

23:34.575 --> 23:36.059
We created a guidebook.23:36.300 --> 23:38.366


That is the driving force of it.23:39.335 --> 23:40.317


It's scripture, it's catechism.23:40.337 --> 24:00.796


What's fun about it is, at the end of that year, you stop and you start other small groups and I'm going to stop the music, okay, um, and you start other small groups and the idea is it's a growth model small group thing, which has been bonkers fantastic Like.24:01.317 --> 24:07.829


We created it a couple years ago and then we started having some changes in the university and the project got dropped.24:08.009 --> 24:16.445


Really, and as I would travel around, I started meeting more and more people that had done it and started it, and so we've reinvested in it, which is super cool.24:16.535 --> 24:28.344


We have a really cool Spanish version of it, but check out dquadscom Dquads Stands for discipleship, discipleshipquadscom and there's a great website and fun videos.24:28.475 --> 24:29.640


I actually designed it.24:29.961 --> 24:30.423


I helped design it.24:31.697 --> 24:32.681


Are you in the videos?24:32.815 --> 24:34.179


I am in the videos as is Christy.24:34.199 --> 24:34.580


Schubon.24:34.841 --> 24:35.082


Am I?24:35.102 --> 24:45.248


No, I don't want to see that I could probably like do some b-roll from the wild goose thing or something.24:45.429 --> 24:52.533


Okay, can I just say some of this ai video stuff, yeah, you can't even tell, true you can kind of tell, but you can't, you probably can't better than I can.24:52.573 --> 24:54.237


Yeah, actually there's just several quads.24:54.318 --> 24:58.668


bob is saying we, but he did most of the work, so it's great.24:58.815 --> 24:59.661


People should take a look at it.25:00.315 --> 25:09.581


I mean there's nothing like being I mean, it's difficult, it means a commitment, it means somewhat of a discipline, but there's nothing like really sharing your life and your faith with somebody else.25:09.681 --> 25:16.135


Amen, it's a great blessing what just happened.25:16.355 --> 25:29.323


Well, I just turned on the recorder, but that's why I have that mic on there.25:29.724 --> 25:30.866


I really thought I hit it.25:31.227 --> 25:31.647


You know what?25:31.928 --> 25:35.115


It's funny I was looking at that clock, you were yelling at me to get the clock up.25:35.215 --> 25:37.544


I was looking at that clock and I was like I can't see it.25:37.715 --> 25:39.302


The letters the numbers are so small.25:42.236 --> 25:49.099


So we apologize for the poor audio that we had at the beginning of this, but it should be okay because that's why we have the backup.25:50.062 --> 25:51.186


Okay, good, good.25:51.255 --> 25:53.222


I really don't want to do this again, I know.25:53.764 --> 25:54.145


Me neither.26:00.735 --> 26:02.559


I mean I enjoy time with you and stuff, but what we had was solid gold.26:02.579 --> 26:03.441


It was pretty good, though.26:03.461 --> 26:04.663


Okay, so we're just finishing up here.26:04.683 --> 26:05.886


So now, if you're wondering, wow, it sounds so good now.26:05.906 --> 26:08.331


Well, the answer is, yeah, I forgot to hit the record button on the main board.26:09.756 --> 26:11.142


Okay, so we'll see what we end up with.26:11.435 --> 26:13.944


Yeah, so I have no idea how long this podcast has been going on, by the way.26:16.616 --> 26:17.418


About 25 minutes.26:17.659 --> 26:17.820


Boy.26:17.840 --> 26:24.798


This is the kind of thing that people listening are like I'm so glad I'm listening to this part of the podcast.26:24.818 --> 26:26.122


All right, we're sorry everybody, we'll focus in back on.26:26.142 --> 26:27.145


So small groups are great.26:27.286 --> 26:30.054


Dquadscom, let's wrap this thing up.26:30.274 --> 26:30.535


There you go.26:30.575 --> 26:32.397


Well, first off we want to talk a little bit about the Pope.26:32.638 --> 26:33.038


Yes, we do.26:33.058 --> 26:33.759


Well, that's the whole thing.26:33.779 --> 26:34.760


We want to finish with right.26:34.961 --> 26:36.343


Okay, first off, you were on retreat.26:36.403 --> 26:37.023


Tell us about it.26:37.324 --> 26:38.085


I was on retreat.26:38.125 --> 26:40.127


Yeah, praise Jesus, I was in.26:41.349 --> 26:42.350


It has a few different names.26:42.390 --> 26:43.759


What's it called House of Prayer?26:43.779 --> 26:44.562


Yeah, down in Florida.26:44.643 --> 26:46.451


Down in Florida, down in Clearwater.26:46.732 --> 26:49.639


It was a silent retreat and it was great.26:49.919 --> 26:50.520


You might not notice.26:50.540 --> 26:52.123


Wait, wait, wait what you said.26:52.143 --> 26:54.126


It was a silent retreat, but there was too much talking.26:56.009 --> 26:58.113


Well, I've been on silent retreats before.26:58.153 --> 27:12.923


When I've just gone and been silent, this was a led silent retreat, a guided silent retreat, and there was a lot of talks, and maybe I'm just used to having longer periods of time where I don't have to hear somebody talk, but I kind of at some point was like this is a lot of talking.27:12.984 --> 27:13.846


I would just like to pray.27:14.715 --> 27:15.477


Yeah, it was really cool.27:15.878 --> 27:25.197


He took the prayers of John Henry Newman and used them as poetry of John Henry Newman and talked about the spiritual life with it so it was very engaging and insightful.27:25.217 --> 27:26.621


How many people were on the retreat?27:26.641 --> 27:30.277


There's maybe like 30, 30 or so it was a good group.27:30.978 --> 27:39.594


As a deacon and I think you have this too right you have a obligation to do a five-day retreat every year.27:39.614 --> 27:40.275


Is that accurate?27:41.157 --> 27:47.216


And I think that's a beautiful um, that's a beautiful thing to require of clergy yeah, does it.27:47.376 --> 27:48.963


Is it five-day retreat or five?27:49.063 --> 27:49.927


days of retreat.27:50.188 --> 27:52.697


I think it's five days of retreat because I only did three days.27:52.717 --> 27:53.679


Yeah, because most people.27:53.739 --> 28:01.782


I think that's one of the reasons why our conference for the in the summer, the retreat actually five days, so that satisfies our canonical retreat.28:01.802 --> 28:04.468


So that can be the canonical retreat yeah, Well cool.28:05.156 --> 28:06.582


So you missed a little bit about the Pope.28:06.735 --> 28:08.480


I don't know if you heard, but we have a new Pope.28:08.841 --> 28:09.823


I heard that Okay, you did.28:09.843 --> 28:10.786


Yeah, Bob from Chicago.28:10.926 --> 28:13.696


Yep and boy Bob is popular.28:13.736 --> 28:17.660


I'll bet you, years from now, so many people are going to be named Bob.28:17.740 --> 28:19.581


Yeah, it's going to be huge, or Leo?28:20.082 --> 28:22.044


Yeah, good point Good point or 14th.28:22.344 --> 28:26.187


So he had his opening mass, his mass of consecration.28:26.207 --> 28:27.488


I don't know Okay.28:27.548 --> 28:28.189


Inauguration?28:28.389 --> 28:30.090


I don't think it's inauguration.28:30.230 --> 28:31.952


Installation, installation, that's what it is.28:33.375 --> 28:33.656


So it was cool.28:33.696 --> 28:37.966


A couple of our friars were able to be there so they had some really neat pictures, but you haven't seen anything.28:38.006 --> 28:38.788


It was really touching.28:39.716 --> 28:46.223


It looked like maybe it was Tagliatelle that gave him the fisherman's ring, okay, and they put it on and he got really emotional.28:46.343 --> 28:49.002


It was just— Do they make that ring for that pope?28:49.103 --> 28:51.403


Yes, yes, because they break the ring with the other one, right?28:59.275 --> 29:01.184


I mean, traditionally, the Holy Father would seal official documents from the pope with that ring.29:01.204 --> 29:04.617


Okay, so right, so they break the old, the previous one, um, but it was really, really touching but one of the quotes he said in his homily.29:04.657 --> 29:08.346


At that he said I'm, I was chosen without any merit of my own.29:08.506 --> 29:20.862


And now, with fear and trembling, I come to you as a brother who desires to be the servant of your faith and of your joy, walking with you on the path of God's love, for he wants us all to live as one family.29:22.155 --> 29:23.058


Really, really beautiful.29:23.078 --> 29:24.321


That's awesome, really, really beautiful.29:24.362 --> 29:25.384


I did read the homily.29:25.445 --> 29:26.147


It seemed short.29:27.817 --> 29:29.567


Yeah, I've just seen Pits and Pieces, was it yeah?29:29.587 --> 29:30.110


It wasn't that long.29:30.195 --> 29:33.105


Well, yeah, I mean yeah in a good way.29:33.455 --> 29:34.939


It was very thoughtful, he was very thoughtful.29:34.959 --> 29:38.467


It was very to the point, but you didn't see him give it.29:40.195 --> 29:40.904


I was wondering if you did read it.29:40.924 --> 29:43.299


That part was part of it the homily so I did not see the entire homily.29:43.359 --> 29:43.920


No, I didn't.29:44.041 --> 29:45.003


Did he do it in Italian?29:45.404 --> 29:49.022


He did Okay, yeah, and I wonder who helps him write.29:49.315 --> 29:52.919


He's got to help with all the different things he has to talk about, and I'm sure somebody helps.29:53.539 --> 29:55.161


You also met with the vice president.29:55.201 --> 30:00.726


Hope that turns out better than the last time and Marco Rubio so here's something that's interesting, though.30:00.886 --> 30:03.909


Okay, I think the Holy Father is pretty short.30:04.850 --> 30:06.492


Yeah, because you see pictures of him.30:07.715 --> 30:08.458


Jd Vance is 6'2".30:08.599 --> 30:09.603


It doesn't tell you how tall he is.30:10.516 --> 30:11.561


Jd Vance is 6'2".30:11.695 --> 30:15.385


Marco Rubio is 5'9", and he looks like he's shorter than Marco Rubio.30:16.148 --> 30:16.729


Interesting.30:16.950 --> 30:20.900


So this is something we need to get to the bottom of Before I tell you what the internet told me.30:21.000 --> 30:23.566


Why did you think the internet wouldn't tell me how?30:23.606 --> 30:24.608


tall Because I Googled it.30:25.055 --> 30:26.060


How tall is the Holy Father?30:27.015 --> 30:32.280


Well, I wrote in how tall is Leo XIV, okay, and the answer is 5'9".30:32.495 --> 30:37.843


Okay, make sure it's not Francesco, because my thing came up and it was actually talking about Francesco, not Francesco, because my thing came up and it was actually talking about Francesco.30:38.004 --> 30:41.950


Pope Leo XIV's height is reported to be 5 feet 9 inches.30:42.915 --> 30:48.046


I'll bet you because everybody— 1.5 meters, I'll bet you, because everybody was asking since I Googled it yesterday.30:49.556 --> 31:02.175


While some sources may offer different figures, such as a scouting report claiming 5 foot 10 with a hat, the most widely cited and reliable information points to 5'9.31:02.315 --> 31:04.844


See, this is why it's important people listen to this podcast.31:04.996 --> 31:06.715

Apparently he that go to gyms.31:39.168 --> 31:41.350


It's not the kind of place, you'd expect to see a cardinal.31:41.390 --> 31:42.332


People called him Roberto.31:42.415 --> 31:44.784


They didn't know who he was until he was literally announced pope.31:45.295 --> 31:48.595


I mean, you're hearing all these stories, right, since everything's obviously—.31:48.615 --> 31:50.061


Hey, that's the guy that spotted me.31:50.101 --> 31:51.822


That's right, isn't that Roberto?32:00.755 --> 32:00.956


What's he?32:00.976 --> 32:02.882


So it's great, it was great, it's really actually he just he's really stepped into it.32:02.902 --> 32:03.685


There seems to be a confidence in him.32:03.705 --> 32:04.528


Yeah, um, yeah, it's really, it's.32:04.688 --> 32:05.551


It's been really beautiful.32:05.591 --> 32:10.687


But it was weird watching him with the vice president and the secretary of state just talking english.32:10.787 --> 32:12.741


I mean yeah it was really, it was great.32:12.962 --> 32:14.046


And pray for ukraine.32:14.186 --> 32:18.021

I haven't again.32:22.056 --> 32:23.660


I've not been in the news this weekend, but I was Well, there was.32:23.680 --> 32:30.626


Apparently a president had a conversation with Putin this morning and that they said that talks are beginning immediately, whatever that means.32:30.895 --> 32:32.481


So peace talks are beginning immediately.32:32.922 --> 32:33.585


Here's the question.32:33.695 --> 32:39.983


People are speculating where's the first place the Holy Father's going to visit, and some people are saying Ukraine, interesting?32:40.203 --> 32:41.066


Yeah, it would be interesting.32:41.146 --> 32:41.747


That would be cool.32:41.855 --> 32:43.101


I don't think that's what it'll be.32:43.615 --> 32:48.064


Well, if he goes to Ukraine, they're going to have a ceasefire as long as he's there, wouldn't?32:48.344 --> 32:50.669


You think I don't know.32:50.755 --> 32:51.997

You would think In hope, you would hope, yeah, but our hope's not in that.33:02.937 --> 33:03.598


No, it's in Jesus.33:03.638 --> 33:04.540
