[ laughter ] there's actually been an outpouring of support from the pope's followers on twitter.

but the most surprising thing was the twitter exchange he had with the dalai lama. take a look. first, the dalai lama tweeted at the pope, "geez, you ran out of steam quick. i've been dalai lama for 55 years. #cantstopwontstop." [ laughter ] very interesting. >> steve: rude. >> jimmy: then, the pope tweeted, "i guess being the pope is a lot harder than just wearing a bed sheet all day. #getarealjob." >> steve: wow. >> jimmy: yeah. then the dalai lama wrote back, "at least i don't wear a torpedo on my head. #yourhatisdumb." then the pope responded, "come on, son, you know my hat is dope. don't hate the player. hate the game. #jealousmuch?" then the dalai lama said, "yeah, so cool. just like your square car. #youthesquare. #weaksauce. #poser." >> steve: wow.

they embrace. the horse nuzzles the man's face as if to say thank you. [ laughter ] i love you. i haven't forgotten you. and i never will.

and you're fully awake. driving, eating, or engaging in other activities while not fully awake without remembering the event the next day have been reported. abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations, or confusion. alcohol or taking other medicines that make you sleepy may increase these risks. in depressed patients, worsening of depression, including risk of suicide, may occur. intermezzo, like most sleep medicines, has some risk of dependency. common side effects are headache, nausea, and fatigue. so if you suffer from middle-of-the-night insomnia, ask your doctor about intermezzo and return to sleep again. ♪
