The Bubba Joke--long

Bubba is talking to his friend in a bar and boasts to his friend that he knows everyone in the world. His friend, of course, doesn’t believe him.
“If you know everyone in the world, name everyone in this bar.” Bubba proceeds to name everyone—Joey, Rachel, Sam, Johnny, Bart, until everyone is named.
His friend is impressed, but then says, “Well, you may know everyone here but you can't know everyone—how about Clint Eastwood? Bubba claims he does. So they go to Clint Eastwood’s house in California, knock on the door and Clint answers. “Bubba! How are you doing ol’ pal. Thanks for stopping by.”
The friend is incredulous. “Well, you don’t know President Obama.” So they go to the White House, knock on the door, and Michelle answers. “Bubba! So great to see you, what brings you here?”

By this point, his friend is seriously impressed. “Well, Bubba, there’s no way you know the Pope.” So they fly to Rome, go to the Vatican and they see the Pope is giving mass to a crowd of thousands. Bubba asks his friend, since the Pope is busy, would it be enough proof if he got up onto the altar with him. His friend agrees, and sure enough a few moments later Bubba is waving next to the Pope.
When Bubba returns, he finds his friend passed out on the floor. “Was it so incredible that I know the Pope?”
“No, what was amazing is the guy behind me asked, ‘Who’s that guy next to Bubba?!”
