That's when the cannibalism started.
You know who should be a saint? Who? The guy who invented shoe inserts. Dr. Scholl? Saint Scholl. Of the very limited... Saint Dr. Scholl.
No, actually I think it would be Dr. Saint Scholl.
He did not go to 15 years of uncomfortable foot school to be Mr. Saint Scholl. And he's one of the very few Jewish saints.
You're only saying this because we're currently in New York and we're walking a lot right now, aren't you?

Chapter 2: How are saints chosen and canonized?
I mean, how is it? I can't imagine how it's pronounced in Italian. Like, homo bonus. I think it might be homo bonus. Homo bonus.
Say it faster. Yeah, that's always how you get through everything. That's how I do it.
Homo bonus. Well, homo bonus was an honest. It's horrible anyway you say it. Yeah. He was an honest merchant who gave most of his money to the poor. And because he was so popular, he became Saint Homo Bonus after his death. It's so weird when you call it. When you smell it. There's no dash in there. You know what I mean?
There's no... Homo bonus. We didn't write his name. We're just gambling because we don't know how else to do it. It is impossible not to address... Homo bonus.
Homobinus. Homobinus. Saint Homobinus, after his death, became patron saint of tailors, shoemakers, and businessmen.
Fashion.
Yeah. Now, not stopping there, the church also formalized the process of making a recently dead person a saint, which included interrogating witnesses about miracles and interviewing people who knew them to make sure they were as virtuous as the petitioner said, which included an investigation.
And think about what you're willing to say when a guy from the Vatican...
shows up and he's asking all these questions you're good and you are if you're talking to somebody in the vatican and you're not in trouble you are like you're obviously a super fan right you're you're there to talk to them about it they're going to ask you pointed questions about your homo bonus friend right they're going to say what what did he do what were his miracles and you're going to want to make that guy happy yeah i think you're going to want to tell that guy exactly what he wants to hear and more and they're going to go like wow yeah
