"Revolution": Pope Leo XIV reveals why he chose his name, His Brothers Are Hilarious, And SNL Was Actually Funny May 12, 2025

Show notes

The crew breaks down Pope Leo XIV’s first speech to the cardinals, where he explains his name choice and sets a fiery agenda for tackling the “new revolution” of AI—focusing on human dignity, justice, and the common good. Josh shares his firsthand experience at the Pope’s audience with journalists (yes, there were jokes!), while we unpack Leo’s Mother’s Day homily, his call for peace during the Regina Caeli, and his brother’s wild MAGA antics on Newsmax.. Good news? Erika’s basically Pope Leo’s mom, and Josh celebrates the EPA nixing that annoying car shutdown feature and… does the Pope have to pay taxes?
