00:00If I told you that Madonna and Justin Bieber and Pope Leo XIV all walked into a family reunion
00:07and they all belonged there, how would you say, huh?
00:11Yeah, I was kind of hoping they'd walk into a bar, but you can't say that at the moment.
00:15Well, you could have a family reunion in a bar.
00:18Sure, why not?
00:19Very nice Chicago bar.
00:20They're related.
00:21They're all related.
00:23I mean, that's crazy.
00:25Yes, this is a...
00:26Nonetheless, you're going to poo-poo this, but come on.
00:28I am a little bit, but there was...
00:31New York Times Magazine did a genealogy study with the help of some folks down in Miami.
00:38Good idea, by the way.
00:39And they...
00:40On the Pope.
00:41They did it on the Pope.
00:41They did it on the Pope, and they wanted to see who he's related to.
00:44And it turns out there is, what, six generations back, a Canadian man who is a common relative of all three of them.
00:55Their cousins.
00:55As well as some other people as well, right?
00:58But Justin Trudeau.
01:00Yeah, so six generations back, he's related to Justin Bieber and Madonna, like you said.
01:04But also in the mix, the Pope is related to Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Pierre and Justin Trudeau.
01:12And, I mean, it's just insane.
01:14I don't think you ever hear of all these random names in one sentence.
01:19But this is getting some criticism online because when you go that far back, like, of course we're all related.
01:27Like, I'm probably related to a billionaire, and I'm ready to look that up and start knocking on that guy's door.
01:32Well, you're married.
01:32Doesn't mean I can't get money.
01:35Hey, this is your old distant relative.
01:36She wasn't trying to marry her relative.
01:37What, you're going to knock at the door, and you're going to say, hey, I'm your sixth cousin removed.
01:42Yeah, show up with your genealogy study.
01:44Help me.
01:45Help me.
01:45I think I'm poor, and then they'll feel bad for me.
01:48You're not poor.
01:48Jeez.
01:50Gosh.
01:51It's not a stretch up.
01:53Well, I'm serious.
01:54I mean, come on.
01:55I don't give you a TV going like, I'm so poor.
01:56What's real interesting about this is Madonna was really critical, has been, for many years, of the church.
02:03Right.
02:04And the church has been critical of her as well.
02:06She said that she's been excommunicated three times.
02:10I don't know if she meant that just sort of colloquially.
02:12We actually tried to figure, we tried to find it.
02:15I don't remember that the Vatican ever actually issued anything about Madonna.
02:19We couldn't find anything, but we listened to her saying it, and she sounded serious.
02:24It didn't feel performative.
02:25So I don't know.
02:26I don't know.
02:27But if Madonna goes, she wouldn't.
02:30But if she went to the Vatican, I bet she could get an audience with him.
02:34Yeah, and about ten other people who are suddenly his relatives.
02:38Wouldn't that be funny?
02:39It's like 150 people come every Wednesday and say, I'm your relative.
02:44I just don't, when they do these, like, who's doing, who's checking the work?
02:49Huh?
02:50Who's checking the work?
02:51Don't poo-poo this.
02:52I'm telling you, it's a real thing.
02:54It is a real thing.
02:56Hi, my name is Kai, and I'm from Columbus, Ohio.
02:58These aren't the worst people that you could be related to.
03:04Bieber's cool.
03:05Madonna, you know, being as communicative before, how do you explain her running down the street
03:12in a wedding dress in the 80s for people who don't really get into her music?
03:16I think this is pretty cool, though, because I'm with the other young lady.
03:21I'm trying to maybe find and see if I got something lost.
03:24Now, you're related to the Pope, too?
03:26No, you're a billionaire.
03:28You're one billionaire.
03:29The money.
