Why? Episode 408- Singer, writer Miist

Why is recorded in front of a live studio audience?

So everybody, when they visit the Pope, seem to bring a present for him.

And it seems like a lot of people from Chicago or the Midwest are bringing jerseys, bringing hot dogs, bringing pizza to gift to the Pope as like, hey, you're from here.

So the people who worked for the mayor, I'm sorry.

So the state treasurer of Illinois recently was able to meet with the Pope and have an audience.

And what did he bring? A check for $8.65.

Okay.

Which

is

what the Pope had in his PayPal account when he closed it.

That's amazing.

It had been sitting in an unclaimed property account.

And they found it after he was elected

Pope.

And they said, well, let's see if we can get an audience and give him his check.

That's

awesome.

So they did.

I

love

it.

He said, my wife and I came together and made it a bit of a longer trip.

But I figured when I had the opportunity to meet the Pope, you would take it.

Of course you wouldn't.

Yeah.
