Cardinals are ‘raw dogging' the conclave, CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil bizarrely says on live TV
A CBS anchor bizarrely said Catholic Cardinals were 'raw dogging' the conclave in a cringe-inducing characterization of the strict sequester for clergymen that bans, among other things, cellphones.
'CBS Mornings' co-host Tony Dokoupil made the forced faux pas as a correspondent explained how the Cardinals pass the time while they are sequestered in the Sistine Chapel for rounds of voting during the solemn ritual.
'The one thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated,' CBS News Papal Contributor John Allen said, stating that the clergymen will read from prayer books and silently pray during downtime.
'I believe the kids call that 'raw dogging,' if you're going to go a long period of time with no electronic device,' Dokoupil said.
'Oh right,' a co-anchor said, apparently enlightened.
The term 'raw dogging' has recently been reappropriated to refer to time spent without modern comforts or gadgets — often used in reference to air travel — however, it is conventionally understood to be a reference to unprotected sex.
The Gen-Z-inspired, inappropriately timed innuendo from the 44-year-old anchor rubbed plenty of viewers the wrong way.
'You know it's a weird timeline when CBS is casually using 'rawdogging' to describe the College of Cardinals,' one user wrote on X.
'We just witnessed the exact moment CBS stopped pretending they had standards,' another tweeted, adding, 'Rawdoggin the conclave is WILD.'
'What a great news station to employ people that make grotesque statements during one of the largest ceremonial events in Catholicism,' an angry X-user posted.
During the conclave, Cardinals are 'sequestered' from the outside world — cut off entirely from communication while they remain in the Vatican for the duration of the papal conclave.
That includes access to cell phones or any other means of contact with the world outside the conclave.
CBS's Dokoupil was most recently in the news for his viral interview with Bill Belichick, 73, which was disrupted by the legendary coach's 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, who told the anchor the couple wouldn't answer some of his questions.

Lizzo reveals secret to her slimdown — and finally sets the record straight on Ozempic use
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. It's about damn time. Lizzo has spoken about her weight loss journey - and clarified her Ozempic use - months after clapping back at rumours about the drug. 'I've tried everything,' the singer, 37, said on Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast on Thursday, per Page Six. The Grammy winner explained however that she abandoned the semaglutide, which has not been approved for use for weight loss in Australia, early into her journey. 'Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full,' she said. 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' Ozempic is also associated with a number of side-effects including most commonly gastrointestinal disorders like nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting, in a way that doctor-approved changes to diet and exercise are not. Lizzo opened up about her recent body transformation. Picture: Instagram She spoke candidly about losing weight. Picture: Instagram Lizzo revealed that she saw the best results when she ditched her vegan diet. 'When I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full,' she recalled. 'When I started actually eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that [weren't] actually filling me up,' the songwriter continued. She said she tried 'everything' throughout her weight loss journey. Picture: Instagram Performing at the Brit Awards in 2020. Picture:She went on to defend those who use weightloss drugs. 'It's not easy,' Lizzo insisted. 'It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with.' She added that 'telling someone they're cheating' is a 'way of being fatphobic.' According to the TGA in Australia, 'Ozempic has been included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This means that the medicine has been evaluated by the TGA for its safety, quality and efficacy for that indication only.' Lizzo made headlines in September 2024 for hitting back at an Instagram hater questioning whether she was taking the type II diabetes drug. 'Whyyyy [sic] do u follow me?' she asked at the time. The following year, Lizzo explained that she had, instead, applied 'a calorie deficit' and cut 'sugary stuff' from her diet. 'Everybody's body is different,' she reminded her social media followers in April. 'Find out what works for you.' This article originally appeared in Page Six and was reproduced with permission.

The real-life antidote to friends' boastful Insta travel posts
This story is part of the June 21 edition of Good Weekend. See all 15 stories. We are friends with a wonderful couple, but we cringe every time they post a story on Instagram about all their business- and first-class travel ('On my way to paradise! #Businessclass'. 'Oh! Drinking a pre-flight coffee #firstclasslounge'). Why do I baulk at this? K.Y., Parkville, Vic Wonderful friends? They sound more like wankerful friends (# hawhaw # cleverwordplay # notreally # sorry). You're right to baulk at their boasty posting: it's obnoxious and validation-seeking and just makes you feel like crap because most of us have never travelled business or first class, let alone been in a first-class lounge. We've only peeked inside as we walk past, our eyes blinded by glinting, golden surfaces and veneered teeth, our noses smelling Caramelised Calf's Foot with Lobster Remoulade, our ears picking up the sound of music and frivolity and orgy-giggling. Whenever friends start bombarding me with boasty travel posts, I always poke gentle fun at them – and by poking gentle fun, I mean bludgeon them around the head with a sack of their own entitlement. If I were you, I'd reply with a series of anti-boasty, non-holiday, unentitled Insta posts: a photo of yourself on a crowded train going to work, squished up between surly, sweaty commuters, and the message, 'On my way to paradise, too! # Workingclass '. A selfie at the end of a long day, schlumped on the couch in jammies, guzzling cheap wine from a bottle, 'Oh! Drinking a pre-bed bevvy # loungeroom '.
