Season 2 Episode 19

In this hilariously insightful episode of Pardon the Politics, Jeezy and Manny react to the groundbreaking election of Pope Leo XIV—affectionately dubbed “Pope Bobby”—the first American Pope hailing from Chicago. The duo dives into the cultural mayhem that followed, from memes and sports shoutouts to real questions about his political influence. Could the Vatican’s newest leader shake up U.S. elections?

But that’s not all—your favorite political analysts take on the simmering tensions in Kashmir, where India and Pakistan trade strikes and barbs in a conflict that threatens global stability. And in the most “meh” trade update of the year, Trump’s new tariff deal with the UK leaves more questions than savings—unless you’re in the market for a McLaren.

With their trademark mix of humor, political insight, and brotherly banter, Jeezy and Manny break down the serious and the absurd. Tune in for conspiracy jokes, global beef (literal and political), and a whole lot of American pride.

⚠️ Quick note: This episode includes satirical commentary on religion, geopolitics, and pop culture. We’re not Catholic—we’re curious, respectful, and just here to pod with a little irreverence and a lot of love.
