43 – Pope on a Rope – 3 Bad Popes

About the Episode

How do you feel about the Pope? What about orgies? Because those two things are definitely related!

This week, Sierra tells the stories of three no-good-very-bad popes while Colin adds them to our deck of Weird People We Know About Trading Cards (patent pending).

Join us as we discuss the difference between a baptism and waterboarding, the true definition of simony, and our new candy invention. It’s not just confusing, it’s horny.
