What The Frock?

With his liver functions no longer "elevated," Rabbi Dave is reduced to taking Benadryl to try and sleep. The problem is it makes him late to stuff. Neither of the boys have seen the new rom-com  "Bros." Is it because they are homophobes or because the film isn't that good? To the surprise nobody who doesn't  wok for Fox News or the Blaze, the Scooby Doo character, Velma, turned out to b...

Is it the end of the world as we know it? with all these international brouhaha going on these days, it seems like we might be. Part of the problem is that some people ever thought that podcasts were anything other than radio to begin with. Seriously. Rabbi Dave got a new cell phone, and at long lost, his greatest dream has been achieved!

On this sad day, the Rabbi and the Friar lament the departure of James Earl Jones, the very voice of Star Wars and King Jaffe Joffer. Meanwhile there was no military coup in west Taiwan on Friday, so why did so many people believe that there had been one? The answer is becoming increasingly a problem, as Social Media once again demonstrates its scary ability to put information - bad or good - out...

The whole Martha's Vineyard fiasco finally went there. The entire argument became "Who are the "true" Christians?  Meanwhile, Meta, which used to be Facebook, is performing a silver platter service for the FBI. If you're going to cheat at chess, at least make it stimulating. And if you happen to be in SeaTac's North Park, you'll need  a helmet!

The Goliards have come full circle. At long last, we once again have a King Charles (played by John Malkovich)!  Like the last time (and the time before that) we had a King Chuck, it's time for Goliards everywhere to celebrate and sing boisterously while drinking like it's a symposium. It's a celebration of all things (not you, Ireland) English Monarchial system, no matter how silly it seems...

It was a confusing  week... the messages that were being sent by the Supreme Leader were, at best, mixed and confusing. The bigger question is simply who exactly at whom was he talking? Because it didn't make much sense to the Good Friar or the Rabbi. Or anybody else, for that matter.  Swatting is still a thing, and even if the interwebs are protected by the 1st Amendment, should the use...

This past week, the Podcast Movement, which isn't  the entirety of podcasting by any means, decided to have it's annual conference at which they sold  space to The Daily Wire, based upon their (the Daily Wires) "heavy involvement in  podcasting." Then the PM decided to apologize to the world for it. The State of California has decided to go a step further an ban the sale of ALL inte...

The Rabbi and the soon to not be a Friar are back  to complain about teenagers and alarm clocks, Tik Tok and pre-season NFL  football. Plus they get into the latest developments in the Ukraine War, the  Yellowstone National Park body count, why medieval Friars were some of the most  disgusting people to ever live, and Alec Baldwin who needs to be careful about  what he is...

Rabbi Dave is an a mood today. "Why?" the Good Friar Rod will ask? Because Dave had dreams that were smashed by his twelve year old son. Meanwhile there is a bigger question. Is it actually possible that some of our political "leaders" are really as stupid as they sound? Or is it all just an act, because, seriously, you would have to be a moron to actually believe some of the things that they are...

Rabbi Dave goes to a casino and actually wins! So why is he having an issue with it? Meanwhile the Good Friar pushes Dave's buttons when it comes to callers to Talk radio shows, which was supposed to be a rant about "being crazy for money" on the air. That's Dave's pet theory for how people like Hal Turner and Alex Jones get millions of dollars from stupid people. If your nickname is "Redbeard," y...

At long last the  summer voyages are over and the Rabbi and Friar have returned. After four  thousand miles across the country at 80mph because nowadays that is "safe," and  a couple of gas stops in Oregon, Dave has a serious message for America. Listen  up, because you need to hear this and this nations driver need to their act  together and star driving like we're suppos...

For the moment, at least, the Rabbi and the Friar are back. Rod's voice is now fully recovered and there is much to catch up on. Dave is convinced  that he has the world's dumbest cat, while he also has some travel advice if you're coming to the Pacific Northwest. Fireworks were entertaining on the 4th of July, and it turns out that Nancy Pelosi has really  big... well... breasts. Who kn...

It's been a few  weeks, but the Rabbi and the Friar are back after several adventures which includes Dave catching the Covid. Nancy Pelosi says that the Archbishop who denied her communion is being hypocritical, while Kim Kardashian is trying to convince you to eat something that she herself refuses  to eat. What the Frock is  back... at least for today!

Rabbi Dave is  feeling really old today. Why? First of all, it  seems like Twitter has decided that old white guys are all Taliban types who want all women covered in public. Wait... that's the actual Taliban types who have unwavering support from Talabanisti's who support the idea of women being subservient to men in real life, not some television adaptation of a bad book that makes Twi...

As the world prepares to celebrate "Victory day," it will seemingly have an extra emphasis in places where people hate Nazis. And just who are these Nazi's? You might think it would be rabidly anti-Semitic totalitarians, but it turns out it pet lovers. Elon Musk might have purchased Twitter for a single reason - to troll one specific politician. In any case, there is a specific reason why the poli...

After getting a  late start on a Passover Sunday morning, the Rabbi is deeply concerned about the rise of AI machines, which are now even being used to make... coffee??? The Good Friar is here to calm things down. Or not... Elon Musk wants to  buy twitter, which is causing all kinds of Goliardesque behavior that has everybody confused as to whether or not it's satire or whether or not an...

As the world turns, things are getting really, and we mean really, weird! The word which we no longer say is making a comeback, complete with robot dogs threatening grandma. Russia finally has an explanation for the reasons behind its invasion of Ukraine, and it’s definitely not what we thought it would be. The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo once entertained us with some science fiction fantas...

The good Friar is  highly distracted today as his beloved Newcastle is losing badly to Tottenham. Rabbi Dave's team, Norwich City, is in dead last place, so he doesn't care  anymore. So where did Disney go wrong? Some think it was when they hired activists, other think it was when they lied to the American people about the lemmings. Rabbi Dave has a theory that involves neither of those....

The Goliards are out in full force this week because of the stupid things that our leaders are saying about various things, including the Loch Ness Monster, Ukraine, Cherry Trees, various Kim Jongs and Mt. Everest!

Like the salmon of  Capistrano, the Rabbi and the Friar have survived the "Winter of Death!" The  problem is that now that the germ we shall not mention ever again is erased from  the politics of the day, there is another to take its place. Rabbi Dave has a  technical question about making decisions from feelings rather than from science  and how that effects both breakfas...

Rabbi Dave and  Friar Rod celebrate the final end... maybe... of one of the most ridiculous  public policies to ever be inflicted on Americans since prohibition. The Mask  Mandates have at long last (not you, Hawaii) clunked to their end. Mind you,  literally nothing has changed except for a single memo making the rounds that  makes it clear it was NEVER about the science....

To be absolutely  100% crystal clear, the Rabbi and the Friar hate each other. Deeply. In the meanwhile, World War III is getting scarier by the moment, although its not without it's  entertaining moments, such as the Chechnyan Special Attack Squad that managed to  get itself trapped in an elevator. Or the Babushka with a jar of pickles and a Russian drone that she didn't want buzzi...

The Canadian government has gone full Putin, but don't worry yourself, because Friar Rod and Rabbi Dave have the absolute highest ESG score ever achieved by any podcast!

Friar Cook and  Rabbi Dave take a look at the Winter Olympic Games, which nobody seems to be watching (except for Mrs. Friar). The weird thing is that 75% of the West Taiwanese Ice Hockey team, which is only in the games because of a rule that  says the host country get an automatic bid, is in fact, not actually,  technically, per se , West Taiwanese... Meanwhile, the cancelling cra...

Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod are back to talk about some really exciting news - the Good Friar is a Grandfather! Dave has been waiting several weeks for the calendar to turn to February so as to be able to celebrate one of the greatest Goliard festivals ever conceived. It is held every February in a little place called San Juan de la Vega in Mexico and it is now in the top 5 on Dave's bucket list...
