Jon: Yeah, you beat us, but we’re friends and colleagues and … you’re the emergency contact on my gym membership.
Stephen: Jon, why can’t you just be upset, okay. I mean, it is really important to that I have crushed you.
Jon: If my being upset about breaking the 10 year streak would make you happy, I would do it.
Stephen: You would?
Jon: I would. But I can’t ’cause … I’m an Executive Producer on your show, so I won again motherf***er!! 11 in a Row!!
Stephen: Dam you Jon Stewart. Dam your eyes. damn your teeth. Damn you!!
We interrupt this recap of Stephen’s awesome Emmy celebration to bring you this. This is the best thing ever from a Catholic Priest, Father Martin introducing Metallica:
More on that later.
Stephen “thanks” all the wonderful and talented people on his staff:
“I beat you Jon!”
Ah, the bromance reveals itself:
How can anyone not feel a little choked up at that?
On Notice - Pope Francis
Yes, after Jon showed up and left, they still had a whole show to get to and it was packed with greatness.
Stephen was, of course, upset over the interview that Pope Francis gave in the magazine, ‘America’.
“I’ve had it up to here…
…no, here with the new Pope.”
The Pope thinks that the church shouldn’t be focusing on abortion, gays and contraception as much and start focusing more on the poor and you know, loving thy neighbor and such. That does not sit well with “Stephen” and many other conservative Catholics.
He puts the Pope on Notice. “That has to sting more than the (me: covers mouth and mumbles something) of 1054”
Little help anyone? Didn’t get that one.
On Notice - Pope Francis - Jim Martin
Father Jim returns to discuss the interview with Stephen, but somebody dropped something right before he was introduced which was a little distracting to Stephen.
Father Jim:[To get the interview done] It was a team effort, just like this show.
Stephen: What?
“He’s driven in a Ford Focus and he drives a Renault…The guys on CarTalk say that a guy who drives a 1984 Renault is someone who really believes in the power of prayer.”-Father Jim.
Stephen mentioned that he was in Rome recently and that the Vatican square was packed to the gills. Father Jim mentioned that people are returning to the church and it’s basically because of Pope Francis and his messages of love and tolerance.
Interview - Metallica
Stephen: You got a new movie coming out called “Through the Never”. Now…what does that mean?
(Lars shrugs, no responses)
Stephen: What is that? Why not like, ‘Next to the Always” or “Under the Sometimes”?
Stephen: The music comes at you so fast and so hard, I feel like I should be wearing a cup when I listen to your music. You put your balls right in”
James: All three of ’em.
OH, um, TMI…yeah. TMI.
Metallica - “For Whom the Bell Tolls”
Robert sports a really great hat:
