Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Hoodie
Speaker 1: and the Woke Popes. That's courtesy of Lacaroni in reference
Speaker 1: to the Hoodies, ask the Hoodies, Ask the Hoodies if
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job, and also the Woke Popes
Speaker 1: shout out to the woke Pope? Are I woke Pope?
Speaker 1: My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is mister
Speaker 1: Miles gret Yes, oh no, you don't need to re
Speaker 1: up that, no, please, just it's just me, Miles is
Speaker 1: It's still wild to me? The media spectacle of every
Speaker 1: pope death like it is the big deal man. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah they are. There is breathless, round the clock covered.
Speaker 1: But what happened when Ratzenberger? Whatever? The last fucker? Did
Speaker 1: we care? When he resigned? Oh? He resigns? He is
Speaker 1: he at im still alive? Oh? Ship, I think that
Speaker 1: fucker is still alive? Man?
Speaker 2: Oh Benedict Yeah yeah, well nah he died in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two, but I don't know if that means he died,
Speaker 2: like did he resign?
Speaker 1: Well no, no, he resigned and then died.
Speaker 2: Ah, okay resign and die yeah he's yeah, he did
Speaker 2: a he did a classic resign and die, which is
Speaker 2: very uncommon.
Speaker 1: Still, that was twenty thirteen. Yeah, yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: long time ago. Wait, I mean this pope, so woke
Speaker 1: pope was around for I mean he did it. He
Speaker 1: did his bid on the stand on his head, twelve
Speaker 1: ars old, his head. Damn. Okay, my boy. But I
Speaker 1: remember Pope JP two, John Paul the Second died when
Speaker 1: I was working at ABC News, and man, it was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like that washy pope. That was the
Speaker 1: Pope's pope. That was the pope I grew up with.
Speaker 2: For sure, that's the pope I saw being parodied in
Speaker 2: every film.
Speaker 1: Right because he just like couldn't move. He would just
Speaker 1: like move a little finger.
Speaker 2: He's like just like he was the most normal looking
Speaker 2: white guy. So it's so easy to find it look
Speaker 2: alike to be the pope. And like comedy movie, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: Very elderly, no older, get me someone even older. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we we do have more news on
Speaker 1: his final hours, or at least the official narrative of
Speaker 1: his final hours that didn't involve him making the jack
Speaker 1: off hand gesture at jd vance so hard that his
Speaker 1: arm ripped off and he died from injuries bleeding associated
Speaker 1: with doing the jack off hand motion at jd Vance.
Speaker 1: This is the official account. You know, the Pope appeared
Speaker 1: exhausted during Easter celebrations on Sunday. It nevertheless greeted the
Speaker 1: crowd and drove around Saint Peter's Square just like the
Speaker 1: image that he's driving around. He's like doing wheel just
Speaker 1: one in Saint Peters Square, cheered by thousands of wrapped worshippers,
Speaker 1: driving like Marshawn Lynch when he would take the exactly
Speaker 1: that is exactly what I was picturing. Do you think
Speaker 1: I can manage it? He had asked strap Edti before
Speaker 1: taking the plunge, with medic in whom he had complete confidence,
Speaker 1: reassured him. Whoops, wait, what do you mean? Take what plug?
Speaker 1: What is he talking about? Taking the plunge? He did
Speaker 1: a cold plunge, right, but no, he uh before before
Speaker 1: doing the appearance. So his final Easter appearance was unexpected.
Speaker 1: People hadn't seen him in person since he fell ill
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, and it was unexpected for a reason.
Speaker 1: It was a bad idea apparently. Uh. He asked strap
Speaker 1: Edti and Strapetti was like, dude, you got this buddy, whoops. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the pope spent the afternoon stir Sunday resting in
Speaker 1: his Vatican residence Cassa Saint Cassa Saint Marta, and had
Speaker 1: a peaceful dinner. On Monday. At around five thirty am,
Speaker 1: the first signs of illness appeared, just being there. What
Speaker 1: do you even the first signs of illness? This motherfucker
Speaker 1: been ill, I know. More than an hour later, he
Speaker 1: waved to Strapetti from his bed in what the media
Speaker 1: site described as a gesture of farewell, two fingers pointed
Speaker 1: to the sky, accompanied by the phrase deuces is what
Speaker 1: we have to assume. He did the thing where he
Speaker 1: kissed his hands and then made that deuces baby, also
Speaker 1: remarked on how he was about to make those conclave
Speaker 1: motherfuckers a bunch of money, tell them to thank my
Speaker 1: ass before falling into a coma. He was declared dead
Speaker 1: seven thirty five am. So it was quick, apparently peaceful,
Speaker 1: did not suffer at all. Happened quickly, good except for Strapetti,
Speaker 1: who's like, damn, damn bro. He waved to you like
Speaker 1: he's like, should I feel bad? Nah? Nah? Dude. He
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to make you feel guilty, dude. I think
Speaker 1: he just was saying bye to you. Dude. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: he was trying to haunt you. Bro. I guess I'm
Speaker 1: leaving then, thanks man. Hey, good call on this not
Speaker 1: being too much for me.
Speaker 2: Rest well for the rest of your life that you're
Speaker 2: probably feeling fine about all this.
Speaker 1: Anyways, shout out to the woke pope. Woke for a pope.
Speaker 1: Let's see any and MTG hated him, so okay, no
Speaker 1: finer testament to one's character. Hell yeah, MTG being like, yes,
Speaker 1: God killed him Jesus Christ. All right, let's uh, let's
Speaker 1: talk about a couple of things that were missed in
Speaker 1: the past few in the past few days of just
Speaker 1: the general uh zone flooding of bullshit. So one thing
Speaker 1: is that the White House has changed the official like
Speaker 1: White House web page for COVID information to a it
Speaker 1: looks like a New York Times like long read article,
Speaker 1: like they got interactive one that has like graphics and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they like it's just it's Donald Trump. A photograph of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump backed by the words lab leak and the
Speaker 1: letters are like as tall as he is. That's the
Speaker 1: implications of that visual, aren't great, right, It's like, did
Speaker 1: you come out of a lab? Donald?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are we saying here? But again, his ego
Speaker 2: like just that knows no bounds. So it's like he
Speaker 2: has put me there next to lab leak.
Speaker 1: It looks like it would be a New York Times
Speaker 1: article that is blowing the case wide open about like
Speaker 1: COVID actually being a lab leak that Donald Trump did himself,
Speaker 1: but he's he's in between the words lab leak. But anyways,
Speaker 1: for people not overly familiar, there are two competing theories
Speaker 1: about where COVID nineteen came from, and no smoking gun
Speaker 1: has proven one or the other correct.
Speaker 2: That's where they they love that bit of uncertainty because
Speaker 2: you hear the shit.
Speaker 1: Got the internet. The internet sure does. So there was
Speaker 1: a lab studying coronaviruses and wuhan at the time of
Speaker 1: the virul outbreak like that in and of itself, it's
Speaker 1: just like the circumstantial evidence is pretty right, pretty strong.
Speaker 1: So that led a lot of people to be like,
Speaker 1: come on, what are we talking about. There's just a
Speaker 1: lot of non circumstantial like actual evidence evidence pointing in
Speaker 1: the other direction that it actually happened at the local
Speaker 1: wet market the official version of events, Like a bunch
Speaker 1: of the early cases were people who worked at the
Speaker 1: wet market. There are a number of like genetic markers
Speaker 1: that suggest that it came over from an animal and
Speaker 1: not the lab. So like evidence evidence suggests this was
Speaker 1: actually just a weird coincidence that it happened to have
Speaker 1: happen close to the lab. But you know, I mean
Speaker 1: there are questions and like the CIA under Trump has
Speaker 1: like gone from lean you know, wet market to lean
Speaker 1: lab leak. But that's not The implication from the White
Speaker 1: House website is like, no, this is this is the
Speaker 1: official stance. Now, you know, we're going to use our
Speaker 1: making up the truth superpower to pretend that this is
Speaker 1: an open and shutcase. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it makes sense because Trump he's so
Speaker 2: worried about his image and COVID you know, that happened
Speaker 2: under his watch and the response was fucked.
Speaker 1: So I think having this.
Speaker 2: Like you know, this new sort of historical account that
Speaker 2: has now been you know, etched in stone on the
Speaker 2: White House website and making it look like some kind
Speaker 2: of malicious act from an outside actor, then the lab
Speaker 2: leak theory absolves him of any perceived failures in that
Speaker 2: and it's like, look what they did. I mean, they
Speaker 2: were fucking us and that's your story, rather than like,
Speaker 2: this thing happened and you completely are fucking stupid and
Speaker 2: you fucked it all up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's I mean he wants to. This is also
Speaker 1: probably part of his trade war with China. And you
Speaker 1: know now that he's trying to ramp up tensions with
Speaker 1: China as much as possible, he's going to be doing
Speaker 1: shit like this using the real one real lever at
Speaker 1: his fingertips, which is changing his website, making up the
Speaker 1: truth and having a bunch of people believe him. But so,
Speaker 1: another detail that people have pointed out is like China
Speaker 1: has not been altogether forthcoming cooperative with the investigations into
Speaker 1: the LAB. I will just say, like, were this the
Speaker 1: United States, and like China was trying to conduct an
Speaker 1: investigation into something fucked up that happened in the United States,
Speaker 1: I feel like the US would not be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: come on in, just lock up on your way out.
Speaker 2: You know whatever FI is, just take that hard drive man,
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, no, yeah, it's all. It's got everything.
Speaker 1: It's got Trump's ego, sinophobia, trade war, everything, everything, that's right.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. And it's been a while since we
Speaker 1: checked in with RFK Junior and he, uh, last week
Speaker 1: he made some pretty shocking statements about autism, like even
Speaker 1: shocking for RFK Junior. Yeah, that's bad. Whad So, first
Speaker 1: of all, he made some disparaging comments about the autistic community,
Speaker 1: including false claims that autistic people don't pay taxes, can't work,
Speaker 1: don't date, and also can't play baseball for some reason. Wait,
Speaker 1: what I know people that do these things?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but okay, they'd taken from them to
Speaker 2: play baseball, do TikTok dances.
Speaker 1: He also said that autism was preventable and that he
Speaker 1: would come up with the real cause of autism in
Speaker 1: just five months as part of a research project involving
Speaker 1: hundreds of scientists from around the world, which experts have
Speaker 1: called misguided and unrealistic. And so where's he getting how's
Speaker 1: he doing this? Well, he's amassing private medical records from
Speaker 1: federal and commercial databases and handing them over to various
Speaker 1: outside groups working on this complete bullshit project. Cool cool, cool, cool,
Speaker 1: cool cool cool. Yeah, they're just going to put people
Speaker 1: with autism in a database and track them.
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, wow wow, I love Yes, this always leads
Speaker 2: to good things when you put people in a database
Speaker 2: who are different or perceived and like and this is
Speaker 2: an out group that we are now defining with a list.
Speaker 2: Is it to give people benefits.
Speaker 1: To study them and try to cure them, try to
Speaker 1: change them? So it's to track them and change them,
Speaker 1: which usually goes well, it's yeah. I mean, this family
Speaker 1: doesn't have the best track record when it comes to
Speaker 1: people with special needs, I'll just say. And he seems
Speaker 1: to be the worst. He seems to have all the
Speaker 1: worst parts of the family. But the autism vaccine link
Speaker 1: was obviously popularized by a study published that was completely
Speaker 1: like the The person who published it was forbidden from
Speaker 1: practicing medicine. The article was retracted. It's like one mistake
Speaker 1: that all of these people have jumped onto.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like also, I think that guy also was
Speaker 2: developing his own.
Speaker 1: Version of an MMR vaccine.
Speaker 2: And the part of this was to pooh pooh the
Speaker 2: existing ones so then he could be like, but mine
Speaker 2: doesn't and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now here we are.
Speaker 2: I'm sure many of us know people who now believe
Speaker 2: this to be the gospel truth and are now.
Speaker 1: Just like Noah, here's fucking vaccines. And I don't care.
Speaker 2: If that's study that all of this whole fucking conspiracy
Speaker 2: theory is based off of is a fraudulent paper.
Speaker 1: I still I still think it's real. But he's already
Speaker 1: floated other discredited cause of autism in addition to vaccines,
Speaker 1: like ultrasounds during pregnancy. So this this isn't stopping as
Speaker 1: long as this guy's in power. And the scary thing
Speaker 1: in addition to all this is like that he's going
Speaker 1: to try to come up with some cure, which he
Speaker 1: he's already tapped anti vaxxer David Geyer to work on
Speaker 1: looking at the connection between vaccines and autism, and it
Speaker 1: seems like he might be trying to cure autism, which
Speaker 1: that's another really dangerous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another huge grift for people who don't who
Speaker 2: are you know, aren't able to accept whatever the state
Speaker 2: of their child's health is or whatever. It's so fucking
Speaker 2: just so diabolical to keep going down this path and
Speaker 2: like weaponize like people's concern for their kids in this
Speaker 2: fucked up way to now be like science doesn't even
Speaker 2: exist take these unproven medicines like that's because he's backed
Speaker 2: weird fucking cures before, and it's you know, just uh well, uh.
Speaker 1: We're accepting your child as they are and you know,
Speaker 1: working with them, and.
Speaker 2: Right, surely it can't be that maybe you can take
Speaker 2: this chemotherapy drug.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they that's the guy who he's working with on
Speaker 1: this cure has sold a miracle drug in the past
Speaker 1: that is in fact a prostate cancer drug that was
Speaker 1: sometimes used in chemical castration and could cause serious side effects,
Speaker 1: and he charged families five thousand to six thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a month in two thousand mine for the treatments. That
Speaker 1: person lost his medical license in nine states, and the
Speaker 1: other person involved in the treatment didn't because he had
Speaker 1: no medical degree, and that was fine for practicing medicine
Speaker 1: without a license.
Speaker 2: That's the one who RFK is working with because he
Speaker 2: that David Guyer was working with his dad who wasn't
Speaker 2: a doctor, and his dad got his shit taken away.
Speaker 1: He's like, and you, doude trust me, my dad's a doctor.
Speaker 2: Actually you have no official medical Oh so you actually
Speaker 2: don't even have any licenses we can take away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I actually inherited it from my dad. So
Speaker 1: you know people think, you know, people think like that
Speaker 1: the way that RFK inherited his leadership qualities, I actually
Speaker 1: got it from my uncle Ted, that's right. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: got my natural way with women from my uncle Ted. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And like weird driving store stories about like what I
Speaker 2: throw in my car and stuff and drive around anyways,
Speaker 2: don't look up chap eclitic.
Speaker 1: All right. A couple trailers that just dropped it, uh,
Speaker 1: caught our eye. One is called him. The trailer opens
Speaker 1: like a Gatorade commercial. It's sort of like they absolutely
Speaker 1: nail the tone of those like super dark Gatorade commercials. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where it's like is it in you? Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: black and white and like showing like the person struggling
Speaker 1: and like trudging through the spiritual darkness of you know,
Speaker 1: athletic achievement and the misery that these top performing athletes
Speaker 1: put themselves through to get to the heights of greatness.
Speaker 1: And then at a certain point it just like changes,
Speaker 1: Uh we see a concussion happen. Uh, Like with full legg.
Speaker 2: It looked like in the new Mortal Kombat game, some
Speaker 2: of the fatalities they'll do X ray so you could
Speaker 2: actually see like the bone like rib cages breaking in
Speaker 2: organs being pierced like that. That shot freaked me out.
Speaker 2: That happened like in the middle of and uh. And
Speaker 2: then it immediately says like from producer Jordan.
Speaker 1: Peele, and you're like, oh ship, and then it just
Speaker 1: goes very dark from there with Marlon Wayns. Really Marlon
Speaker 1: Wayins is like.
Speaker 2: Gets to flex his serious acting skills again, because I
Speaker 2: think he's very underrated as a serious actor.
Speaker 1: So this is going to be fucking wild. I hope it.
Speaker 2: I hope it's as good as a trailer looks. And
Speaker 2: Jordan Peele seems to have his ship together enough that.
Speaker 1: He yeah, he's producer not not writer director on this one,
Speaker 1: but I am curious to see what his next directorial
Speaker 1: effort is. Have you have you seen Sinners yet? No,
Speaker 1: I'm going to see that this weekend. Me too, all right?
Speaker 1: And then Mountain Head is the other trailer just dropped.
Speaker 1: That is from Jesse Armstrong, the writer and producer showrunner
Speaker 1: of Succession, And man, I would never have guessed that
Speaker 1: this was Oh wait, I'm sorry, Like.
Speaker 2: Even without the HBO logos and anything, you would watch
Speaker 2: this and be like, is it this is wait what
Speaker 2: scene of Succession is this?
Speaker 1: This is Succession? Right? This is right. It's almost like
Speaker 1: he you know, some filmmakers are like, all right, this
Speaker 1: is this is my chance. I've got everybody's attention. How
Speaker 1: am I going to like show them a new side
Speaker 1: that I have? This like other variety of pitches, And
Speaker 1: he was instead like, let me show you how good
Speaker 1: I can do this one thing that you already know
Speaker 1: I can do really well.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if like the DP screwed him
Speaker 2: from being like, okay, so this is going to be
Speaker 2: shot the exact same way a Succession and.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, it's good, or maybe the DP was like.
Speaker 2: What if we did something a little bit different than
Speaker 2: what we did on Succession? He's like, no, I like
Speaker 2: what you did on Succession.
Speaker 1: I want this.
Speaker 2: This is about four tech oligarchs getting together in a
Speaker 2: mountain ski trip and the world is falling apart around them,
Speaker 2: and like, what are we gonna do about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It looks frightening, yeah, because it's so close to reality.
Speaker 1: But interesting to see.
Speaker 2: What the commentary is about this and if there is
Speaker 2: a message like dude, aren't these guys fucking sad.
Speaker 1: So weird. Yeah, but yeah, I mean I loved his
Speaker 1: work on Succession. This seems like if you asked me
Speaker 1: to come up with a project for him to work on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was probably what I'd be like. Yeah, but do
Speaker 1: that one, Jesse. I'm sorry, we don't believe in your range. Fam.
Speaker 2: He did this really well and it's so good that
Speaker 2: maybe just stick to that.
Speaker 1: It's okay, you don't have to put out a Chris
Speaker 1: Gaines album. Just be Garth Brooks. That's right, that's right,
Speaker 1: all right. Those are some of the things that are
Speaker 1: trending on this Tuesday, April twenty second. We are back
Speaker 1: tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then,
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
Speaker 1: your vaccines way you still can get your flu shots.
