Why Pope Leo XIV's Brother John Prevost Missed His Inauguration
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Shortly after Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV, his brothers John and Louis Prevost became frequent guests on network TV. 'We kind of knew he was special. We used to tease him about being pope when he was 6 years old,' Louis told NBC Miami.
John quickly traveled to Rome to be with his brother. 'We're waiting to see, we're supposed to have lunch, we're supposed to go somewhere. We get to travel with the Pope to some special place and we'll just figure it out. Because we're only here until Tuesday,' John told NBC Chicago.
On Saturday, May 10, John had dinner with his brother 'at his place,' a.k.a. the Apostolic Palace. Notably, they ate pizza. The trip marked his fifth time visiting Rome; two of his previous trips were with his brother, now Pope Leo.
'Is he still the same old Bob?' Lester Holt asked John, to which he replied, 'It depends who he's talking to. If it's just the two of us, yes, he's the same. But if it's public, then he's 'Holiness.' He knows when to turn it on and when to turn it off.'
John continued, 'He had his first public appearance yesterday, and we went with him to that. When we were driving to these two churches, both sides of the road were packed with people screaming, 'Papa! Papa! Papa!' And he rolled down the window, and would shake hands as the car would drive by. And the people were just in tears. It's just everyday life now. It's very hard for me to believe, but he just takes it all in.'

Bryson DeChambeau returns to defend U.S. Open title as golf's YouTube king
OAKMONT, Pa. — Bryson DeChambeau returns to the 2025 U.S. Open as the defending champion and golf's YouTube king, at least among the pro ranks. From his 2 million YouTube fans watching him try to "Break 50" with the likes of Donald Trump, various influencers and athletes to joining Johnson Wagner as he tried to reproduce his remarkable bunker shot at 18 at Pinehurst No. 2 during Golf Channel's "Live From," people love DeChambeau's content creation. The latest example was on display at Oakmont, site of this week's 125th U.S. Open, when DeChambeau showed up for a practice round on May 31 and filmed every shot. It was riveting stuff that no other player had done before. 'He's done a heck of a job using social media channels to connect with viewers, connect with golfers, and show his true personality because I think he probably didn't do a great job of that early on in his career,' NBC's Kevin Kisner said. ESPN's Scott Van Pelt took his analysis of DeChambeau's reboot as a YouTube star – he's got nearly 3 million Instagram followers and another 2 million on TikTok, too – one step further. 'I think he's now kind of figured out where he wants to be. He's almost reinvented himself in some ways,' he said. 'He's grown as a human, it seems to me. Last year he came and sat down in the Butler Cabin with me on Thursday and Friday, and he's been sort of this — he's played very different characters in a movie. It's almost like he's been many different versions of himself. 'And when he sat and visited with me last year, I just remarked to a number of people, he just seems like a different guy. He seems more at ease with himself. I don't know if it's the tour he plays, I don't know if it's just part of growing up, which is part of all of our lives, but he seemed comfortable, entirely comfortable with himself.' DeChambeau, 31, finally is becoming comfortable in his own skin, and YouTube has helped him let his guard down, he said, 'showing the fans a side of me that was locked up for so long.' 'What's funny is as much as my guard has been let down, I feel like I'm more strategic in how I deliver things and how I give perspective on things. Before, I was pretty up front and would just say things the way I wanted to whenever I wanted to,' he explained. 'Now it's more strategic in the way I do it and deliver it because I think there's a lot of good that can come from that.' DeChambeau has said he's taken a page out of the playbook of MrBeast, whose viral content are the most-watched videos on YouTube. Asked whether any of his peers have turned to him for advice on how to launch a YouTube channel, DeChambeau highlighted Phil Mickelson. Lefty said he'd always seen what he called the playful, fun, intelligent and interesting side of DeChambeau. 'He's able to showcase that and not have who he is be filtered by a middle person,' Mickelson said. 'He controls what content he puts out there and what he wants to shoot and so forth. So his personality comes out. It's been remarkable to see the evolution of it and the way the public has responded to him because he's always been like that. It just hasn't been able to be noticed, I guess, properly.' In discussing the tips he has passed along to Mickelson, DeChambeau said he reads the comments section and tries to give the people what they want. 'We've grown our channel to over 2 million followers now and couldn't be more thankful, and it's literally by listening to the comments section, by looking at the comments and seeing what they want,' he said. Major champion. Long driver. YouTube star. A case could be made that the latter has become what drives DeChambeau. 'It's a new space. I'm learning how to become a little bit more entertaining,' he said. 'It's not just golf, golf, golf, trying to win every really what gets me up in the morning and gives me a lot of passion for this game."

Indiana Jones Embarks on a New Adventure in THE ORDER OF GIANTS DLC for INDIANA JONES AND THE GREAT CIRCLE — GeekTyrant
Indiana Jones is about to embark on a whole new adventure deep beneath the streets of Rome. Bethesda and MachineGames have officially announced The Order of Giants , an all-new DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle , and we have a trailer for you to watch! Set during the events of the main game, which itself takes place between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade , this new story chapter expands the game's mythology in a big way. If you played The Great Circle , you'll remember the towering, mysterious giant performed by the late, great Tony Todd. His presence teased a deeper history, and this DLC is going to crack that mystery open. According to the official Lucasfilm blog: 'What starts out as a standard treasure hunt quickly becomes treacherous as Indy travels deep below the streets of Rome, exploring ancient crypts, visiting new locations like the ruins of the Colosseum, and coming face to face with an enemy that lurks in the shadows. 'Players can expect to solve a number of intricate puzzles while traversing Rome's ancient sewer system, the Cloaca Maxima, and beyond. And in true Indiana Jones fashion, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for danger as members of a frightening cult sneak around in the shadows and attempt to stop Indy through any means. There may even be a few familiar faces making a return too!' New puzzles, eerie ruins, creepy cults, ancient Roman mysteries, and maybe some returning characters. It's exactly the kind of Indiana Jones side story fans crave. There's also a strong chance we'll get more from Todd's enigmatic character. One of the best things about The Great Circle was how it perfectly captured the thrill of old-school Indy while building something new. When the credits rolled, a lot of fans weren't ready to let go. Thankfully, The Order of Giants gives us another shot at adventure with plenty of myth, danger, and hidden history waiting just below the surface. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Game Pass. The DLC The Order of Giants arrives September 4th. Check out the trailer below!
