The Reign of Confusion 31.01.2022 56:52
After a very confusing week, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod are back to tell you what they are confused about, including some people nobody has any idea who are trying to censor other people that everybody knows who is. Video games are dangerous and the US Navy has... well... an explanation(?) of an odd and confusing thing that also happened.
Waiting on the Tour de France 16.01.2022 59:17
The Rabbi and the Friar are back to talk about Cyberwar and the idea that we are already in the opening phases of World War III. In July of 1914, most of Europe showed almost no concern over the exploding crises in Serbia, at least until the our de France was over. Then the proverbial schtuff his the rotating air movement device. Some Americans, far too many of them "Republicans" aren't just...
Happy Freaking New Year... 10.01.2022 43:53
It's 2022. Sorry, but we thought that we were supposed to be dead, so we didn't plan much for this first show of the "Winter of Death!" Dave is feeling morose over the prospects of the new year. It's been a rarity in his long life, but to Dave, this seems like the perfect year to throw anther World War. Rod has some new equipment and some issues with idols and mannequins, w...
Birds Aren't Real 12.12.2021 1:05:19
It’s the 2021 finale for Friar Rod and Rabbi Dave. They talk trolls and birds (along with dinosaurs and Christians), and it’s that time of the year when they bring your their look at the latest Hallmark Holiday flicks! How much would you fork over to some “company’ to drop you off in the middle of some foreign country and leave you there? For fun? Once upon a time the Rabbi took one for the team a...
Omnicraw 05.12.2021 56:38
Rabbi Dave has arisen from his muscle relaxer induced coma to share the hour with the Good Friar Rod as they ask questions about how the government is doing things, and why Trevor Noah is in some “hot water” for finally at least appearing to see the obvious answer in front of his not so funny face. Did you know that JaBiden is the worst treated by the media President in history? Delta Airlines had...
Yippee-Ki-Hanukkah! 28.11.2021 50:00
Rabbi Dave is ready for Hanukkah, which begins tonight at sundown. Friar Rod is still convinced that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. The onset of the next COVID panic has already begun. Let the lockdowns and mandates begin anew, over a variant that (a) probably is less virulent and (b) NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT ANYWAY! People are really touchy about bad Yelp reviews, but not as touchy as a Preach...
Slap An Armadillo Day 21.11.2021 43:03
Both the Friar and the Rabbi are… experiencing the after effects of too much drink, song and social media. The Good Friar is in Twitter Jail, while the Rabbi is fascinated by an alien invasion of North Carolina . Bless their hearts… Some technical issues have the show time limited again, but the boys are still here to ask the question: What The Frock?
St. Brice's Day 14.11.2021 45:56
Rabbi Dave and Friar Cook recall the tragic events of St. Brice’s Day, when the invading Danish Vikings finally paid a terrible prices for… bathing. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsome, who cackled and exploded into bats, finally showed up after two weeks, at a wedding officiated by Nancy Pelosi. You cannot make this stuff up, folks. As you know, Dave HATES Disney. He always has. Why, you may ask? He explain...
How You Dune? 07.11.2021 55:22
The new version of the 1965 Novel, Dune” is out, and while it is a massive improvement over the 1984 version, there are still a few people who are not happy about it. From our perspective, the focus on human interaction is particularly intriguing and there are more than a few applicable to our time ideas here. Millennial’s are upset because life, as it turns out, is not easy. Listeners are se...
My Friend the Witch Doctor 31.10.2021 59:43
It’s Halloween! If you believe in ghosts, or spirits or just spooky stuff in general, today is your day to celebrate all things weird and whacky. Rabbi Dave once had an encounter with a verified Witch Doctor in San Francisco. But it all turned out good. The Coronal Mass ejection came and went without much of a show after all. But tonight should be fun! DID is a thing, especially on Twitter. which...
The Raines Facebook 24.10.2021 1:01:02
The COVID madness continues. It's hard to believe that we are even dumber after eighteen months of this nonsense, but... we are... even dumber... A big part of the problem continues to be Social Media, especially Facebook, which has now produced a second "whistleblower" to bolster it's desire to regulate the industry. Of course, more and more people are now finding ways to Raines Sandwich the Soci...
Oktoberfest 17.10.2021 55:50
In the year of our Lord 1810, a celebration was held to commemorate the marriage of a beautiful and beloved princess to an absolute jerk of a Prince who would go on to become King. Eventually the people got rid of the ruler, but they kept the celebration. Which serves to remind us that our expectations of our leaders are - more often than not - misplaced and subject to great disappointment....
Crab Rangoon's 10.10.2021 1:01:35
Rabbi Dave remains unconvinced that the "religious exemption" argument is a valid, especially for government football coaches for mediocre programs. Friar Jedi Cook on the other hand, believes that the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccines is a valid religious exemption, although it's unclear as to what religions (if any) actually hold that position. Then again, Dave is of the stated belief...
Day by Day 03.10.2021 56:48
Rabbi Dave is joined by the newly minted Jedi Knight Rod who recently joined the Church of the Jedi to ask a few questions, which is what goliards do. Were the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed by an air burst weapon, ala Tunguska? A recent scientific paper says that it happened just that way. But don't just follow that science quite so fast! No one ever expects the Ninjas. Especially in the...
The Grand Inquisitor 28.09.2021 49:22
Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod gather again to talk about the issues of the day. Sure… it’s not the “weekend,” but who really cares? One of the more amazing effects of the way we live today is how information that displeases us is treated. You might think that this is something new, but it’s really not. Even Dostoyevsky spent a lot of pages telling a long involved poem about it… We’re all going to die,...
Absurd Arguments (In Pirate) 19.09.2021 53:30
Rabbi Dave replaced his computer this week, so of course the sound inputs aren't working correctly... the absurdity of the "Religious Exemption" to the vaccine mandate is pretty obvious when you think about it, even to a Christian Scientist (which is NOT a Scientologist). The best argument for an exemptions is to just be a politician! It's a "Talk Like a Pirate day" episode of Wh...
How To Murder Your Husband 12.09.2021 52:59
When it's November in his soul, Rabbi Dave gets morose. Friar Rod provides some therapy and counseling, because that's what Frockmen do...
King Louis' Dirty Derriere 05.09.2021 59:29
On the morning after the Ludi Romani, Rabbi Dave is feeling a bit under the weather. Unusually, Good Friar Cook is feeling just fine. The Internet is rapidly becoming a place of censorship and idea control by using the magic phrase, "content moderation..." Rabbi Dave has a set of questions that are guaranteed to get a "COVID-19 Informational" box slapped on the post by Facebook. The poet e.e...
Slated To Be An Historic Show 29.08.2021 1:05:32
Sixteen years ago was a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest, where Rabbi Dave is. Today is also a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest. And once again it is slated to be an historic day in a southern hellhole. Harvard has decided to stop even pretending that they believe in God, while Lester Holt has decided to not ask relevant questions about saving lives. Eating hot dogs is bad for yo...
Conundrums 22.08.2021 54:10
TRIGGER WARNING: Adult Language Stop us if you've heard this one before... masks are back and better than ever! Apparently OnlyFans has tired of making gobs and gobs of money. It's either that or there is something more nefarious afoot. Mad Scientists are growing brains in Petri dishes and Woke culture is turning everything to... well... you know...
Sex Crabs 15.08.2021 1:02:24
After an unexpected week off, Rabbi Dave headed for the hills, while Friar Rod was busy donating platelets and trying to keep his daughter out of jail. The boys return just in time for another useless mask mandate, which has them a bit on edge. football, bit American and European, is underway, and it was NOT a good start to the season and another useless start for the American version. Meanwhile,...
What The Funk? 01.08.2021 59:40
The Olympics are all the rage these days. But viewership is way down. Is it because of the "woke" culture or are there some other factors at play here? The Delta death variant is now upon us. This time around, we are being told that masks are the ONLY thing that can possibly save humanity from complete and utter destruction. Ashton Kutcher has webbed feet. Webbed and stinky feet. But at least he s...
AstroNOT 25.07.2021 1:01:36
Rabbi Dave and friar Cook are back from their three week sabbatical! It was quite the road trip for Dave, but at least NASA and the FAA didn't change the rules on his mission right before he blasted off. Facebook doesn't seem to know anything about gardening, but really who's surprised? And there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for why you don't understand what JaBiden had to say about...
Sabbaticals 27.06.2021 1:11:23
It's hot. Seriously... Seattle is melting and it's taking the bridges with it. Meanwhile, have you gotten your F-15 or nuclear weapons yet? Like an air conditioner you might want to avoid the rush and get it today! The COVID Merry Go round of Stupidity continues to spin, this time the NCAA manages to screw up which is really no big surprise. They'll just blame COVID protocols! If you'r...
Father's Day (For Real This Time) 20.06.2021 54:15
“Plausible deniability” is the goal of the day as it turns out that Friar Cook not only is a potential domestic terrorist, but appears to already be on more than one “list” for those organizations tasked with rooting out the extremists. Meanwhile, it is Father’s Day, this time for real! Rabbi Dave has his cinnamon rolls and is living the good life today, but is sans clothing really the way to go t...
