Welcome to What the Frock?, the podcast where current events meet common sense, and occasionally get audited by artificial intelligence.

This week we cover a little light material, including presidential war powers, selective political outrage, international air defenses, and whether your emergency room visit secretly financed new hospital drapes. You know, the usual Sunday conversation.

We begin with the War Powers Act of 1973 and the timeless American tradition of loving executive authority when your team holds it and denouncing it when the other team does. Somehow, every president questions the constitutionality of the law while also using it. It is a bipartisan magic trick.

Then we shift to something even more unsettling: Dave’s ER bill. After a two-minute consultation and one warm blanket, the invoice arrived with the enthusiasm of a small mortgage. Enter ChatGPT, which calmly suggested strategy over outrage. The machines are not taking over the world yet, but they may be coming for hospital billing departments.

We also touch on budget chaos in Washington State, a legislator who may have personally tested the DUI threshold debate, and why “it was bots” is the new political defense strategy.

All that, plus music, sarcasm, and just enough skepticism to keep things interesting.
