What The Frock?

Welcome to 2024! It’s not off to a great start as the Rabbi has a massive cold and a raw throat. But unlike some people we could name, he did not go to Hawaii… 2024 is shaping up to be a complete and total sh*#tshow, from politics to conflicts to… the NFL? The USPS finally gets around to delivering a letter, while one homeowner has a missing driveway. The question is… why? It’s a rough start to th...

It’s the end of the world as we know it. The proof that something “Big” is happening is found not only in the actions of the world elites, such as Zuck who is building an underwater submarine lair, but in the films that we are force fed every year at this season that remind of of the glorious socialist revolutions and how capitalism will ultimately fall to the united workers collectives. Meanwhile...

Is there a danger of AI taking over podcasting? If it did, would most people even notice? What if AI started interfering in politics? If the dueling “Words of the Year” have anything to say about it, there is an authentic possibility that our rizz may go totally unnoticed. We start with the video making the rounds on the social media webs, where it appears that the Cadets and Midshipman were chant...

The Good Reverend Rod is showing off his acting chops. If you’re in the Central valley, you’ll want to go and catch him on the stage. The State of Montana didn’t understand some fundamental things about the US Constitution, particularly the 1st Amendment. Or the 14th Amendment. Or the concept that you either have free speech, or you don’t. In California, the State has decided that public school cu...

The Good Friar is still sick, but the boys are still here to wonder about the recent developments in the world of AI. Clearly there is a large among of stupid people who keep asking the AI to decide morally ambiguous questions. Then the complain on the interwebs about the answers that the great AI gives them. Rabbi Dave needs to make a bunch of money, and on last weeks show he figured out how to d...

The Good Friar Rod is back from his illness, but he is also now locked up in Twitter jail. While he was away, Rabbi Dave has figured out the best way for this podcast to become huge and world renown. It does involve a little bit of self-sacrifice and the involvement of listeners, but trust us, this will make us BIG!!!!! There is something wrong in California. All of sudden, leading Democrats there...

Something odd is happening, and it’s not just Friar Rod’s suspicious voice that doesn’t sound very “sick.”  No… it’s whatever is happening in the country right now, which saw some very disturbing things happen last night in the nations’ capitol. It has Rabbi Dave thinking about the Roman Empire, which is something that most men do anyway. But this time, he’s wondering about whether or not there we...

The day starts when some rando listener down in Floriduh texts Rabbi Dave to inform him that he (Dave) is a part of the “MAGA wing” of our party.” He also thinks that Dave just does a super job on  Dave Does History ,  BUT… Anyway, unlike many other shows, Slippery Fish Entertainment has a long record of tapes that show that make the point, so… well… maybe you should check with Jesus  before  you...

Is there something going on over at Facebook? It seems like – without any evidence to support it – that news about the world’s most dangerous conflict is either being suppressed or otherwise shadow banned? Or is it? Much like October 22nd sixty-one years ago, the world seems like it is on the edge. Back then, one man, we are told, “saved” the world from nuclear apocalypse. What will happen this ti...

The Rabbi and the good Friar get together to talk about the last week and the outrage we’ve seen. At the end of the day, hate is hate, and it never ends well. The national political scene isn’t much better. There is no Speaker of the House, while there are at least two wars that directly involves the United States in one way or another. But… there is growing noise to get a speaker. The question is...

The truth is, rabbi Dave doesn’t feel much like having fun today. This should be a joyous day filled with dancing and laughter. Instead, it’s full of death and destruction. A trip to a local fast food place leads to questions about tips and tipping, while a discussion of getting longer legs leads places you do not want to go. And like most real men in America these days (and forever), we discuss t...

It's almost here, the holiest day of the year. And the Rabbi isn't as excited about it as you might think. The good news is that the NFL announced its Super Bowl Halftime show this morning. The bad news is that it will not include Edgar Allen Poe. The Ukraine War is still going on. And on. And on. And on. And. on. And more money. And more money. And more money. Marching Bands versus police...

For some reason, the 2024 campaign for President is NOT going well for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who may have - in a desperate attempt to out Trump Donald Trump, threatened to invade Mexico.  President Biden has enough troubles of his own, and now the newspapers and the CIA are starting to weigh in on his problems in 2024. It seemingly turns out that "brewed" chicken isn't. On t...

The Good Friar has a throat problem, which is solved by being a “double ender” podcast. You don’t care, but it’s all a part of the magic. Rabbi Dave is in a great deal of pain after a weekend of making field trips for Ben’s benefit. Gravity 5, Dave 0. Does anybody believe Gavin Newsome when he says that he is definitely no running for President in 2024? Oddly enough, Dave does. because really, who...

It’s been a strange week. Then again, maybe it was last week that was strange? It’s a Holiday Weekend, so if you’re expected any in depth analysis of anything, you’re in for a disappointment. The boys are highly distracted and the conversation is as confused as the calendar in 1752. Dave has an announcement about his future, while Rod spent yesterday enjoying the pageantry of not watching NCAA Foo...

The Donald Trump mug shot has become the hottest selling item in the country. At $47 a pop, people be snapping up the mug of the Donald, including friar Rod-erick. The mug shot has the boys wondering where does all of this end up? With a new vaccine coming (along with its own mandate!) is Dave’s latest insane conspiracy theory really all that out there? Why does Friar Rod-erick look like Donald Tr...

Are you ready for another gripping, thought-provoking, and downright hilarious episode of What The Frock? Our favorite dynamic duo, Rabbi Dave and Friar Roderick, are back at the mic, weaving their unique tapestry of wisdom and wit. This week’s episode promises a delectable blend of tech talk, skeptical love affairs, and some political pondering. First on the agenda: the rise of AI in the world of...

There’s both good news and… better(?) news this morning, depending on your view. The USWNT did not advance at the Women’s World Cup for the first time in a long time. On the other hand, Kim Jong Un scored an impressive 100% electoral victory in his campaign for Dear Leader. You should write that down. The great Plastic Straw ban may or may not have been successful, once again, depending on your po...

The eternal argument over Term Limits got a… well… boost this week after a couple of geezers in congress that should have retired and/or died years ago managed to bring it to everybody’s attention. Should there be term limits, or at least age limits? Or, perhaps, cognitive test to determine if anybody is actually capable of serving in Congress? The overall mantra continues to be that by “supportin...

The Rabbi has had a stressful weekend, and today isn’t getting any better. It’s the kind of stuff that has him saying (deleted). The big question this week is whether or not the understanding the we are gaining of AI effects or changes the way we view prophecy, particularly Biblical prophecy, which doesn’t mean the same thing to different people. Speaking of AI, the computer has come up with what...

Is it weird to anybody else that Dylan Mulvaney’s nipples were blurred out in the newspapers pictures of him last week? Or… is it possible that some AI (it’s fancy… first off it’s two letters and it means “artificial intelligence”) came up with the idea of his dress and to blur our the offensive nipples? Other people watching Netflix have said that the whole AI concept “scares” them, to the point...

In an age of synthetic reality, how do we have any idea of what is real or what to believe? It was bad enough in 2016, but now? How many different ways are we being shown and told things that may or may not be truth? If a robot taxicab can be disabled with a traffic cone, and a female crocodile can parthenogenetically reproduce, is it possible for us to know what to accept as real and dismiss that...

Rabbi Dave is sick. He’s been sick all week, but has dragged himself out of bed because this is important. He and the Good Friar Rod are here because they are broadcast professionals who deserve a $20Million contract from Spotify and they will actually show up to work, unlike some people we could name (Harry and Meagan). The Titan thing still has Dave freaked out, mostly because we learned this we...

How do actual fifty-year old white guys who happen to be qualified in submarines deal with the Titan event? with humor, of course, most of it as dark as black coffee And while that may offend some people, the reality is Americans have always dealt with tragedies this way. Even 9/11. A fantastical tale *might* help explain what happened – or didn’t happen – in Russia over the weekend. Honesty is a...

If you were confused, you're not the only one. It's Father's Day (definitely not a Friday evening) and the Good Friar and the Rabbi are totally confused by the Presidents remarks as well as why it is that billionaire sports team owners need to have taxpayer funded stadiums. Sports are the theme of the day, and it's a reminder that men like sports, even the mascots, while in Soccer,...
