your show notes here. You have a friend who is
going to bet on who the next pope is.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah, he has a little group and they're putting money
down to see if they who gets the next pope? Right,
I guess. I guess there's a you know, short list
of candidates. Whatever can you do that? Can you do that?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
People bet on everything? I'm sure?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Is it disrespectful?

Speaker 1 (00:51):

I could do that.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I wonder if they're doing the doing this, you know,
bet in Vegas or this.

You said, it's not a lot. They're putting on like.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Twenty five and if their pick wins, they get all
the money.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Interesting, how do they each have to pick a different person.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
I'm not sure about the specifics on how it works.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
So you're not getting involved. No, I don't gamble. I
don't gamble either.

Speaker 4 (01:43):

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I suck at it.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
My dad was great at it. I suck at gambling.
If I want to lose money, gamble that's the way.
