Good morning, America, how are ya? I’m Rabbi Dave, joined as always by the ever-caffeinated Friar Rod, and today on What the Frock? we’re opening the dusty file marked Permanent Record. You remember the threat: utter one wrong word in 7th grade and boom, your life is over. But where did that terrifying idea come from? And why has it followed us into adulthood, now repackaged as cancel culture and digital shame?

This week, we trace the roots of the permanent record from Cold War classrooms to theological scrolls to the Wayback Machine. Is there redemption in a world that never forgets? Do God and Google use the same filing system? And why the frock are we not on CNN’s podcast list?

Grab your beverage of choice and get ready to repent, reflect, and maybe rage a little. This is What the Frock?, and yes, this is going on your record.

This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod take on the so-called top story of the week—no, not international conflict or political scandal, but a kiss cam moment at a Coldplay concert.

What begins as bemused commentary quickly unravels into a deeper exploration of how news is chosen, shaped, and sold. Who decides what matters? Why do nonsense stories rise while real headlines vanish?

From $20 million influencer grifts to AI-powered meme machines, the frocked duo dig into the growing influence of the digital state and the unsettling possibility that we’re all just following stories designed to distract.

With signature wit and just enough theological sarcasm to sting, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod ask the question that should be on everyone’s mind—what if the news isn’t news at all?

Tune in for laughs, uncomfortable truths, and a whole lot of Coldplay you didn’t ask for.

This week on What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod wade into deep moral waters with a question that’s dividing the conservative world: Does anyone actually care about the Epstein files?

After President Trump declared “nobody cares,” the frocked duo takes him to philosophical task, exploring justice, trust, and the obligation to truth, even when it’s inconvenient.

Along the way, they tackle everything from Supreme Court dissents possibly written by AI to their growing obsession with Major League Cricket. Yes, you read that right. It is a whirlwind of political theology, cracked cricket bats, and sanctified sarcasm.

With fake sponsors like Blessed Ales and Shofar Wireless joining the fray, it is one of the sharpest and strangest episodes yet. Whether you're here for the righteous anger or the absurdist cricket commentary, this week’s show proves one thing for sure: we care. And we are not afraid to say it.

This week on What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod wade into the holy waters of absurdity with a story so bizarre it could only be real.

When the Prime Minister of Armenia offers to prove his religious bona fides by flashing the head of the national church, our frocked duo cannot resist diving into the theological and anatomical madness. But that’s just the opening act.

They also tackle America’s recent bombing of Iran, explore why ESPN made a commentator apologize for saying something patriotic, and laugh their way through Texas’ new law that slaps warning labels on Doritos.

There’s cricket, instant coffee conspiracies, and even a rant about Republicans acting like bureaucrats.

It’s irreverent, insightful, and unapologetically offbeat.

So pour yourself some instant Cafe Bustelo, grab a snack not banned in Europe, and prepare yourself for another wild ride through the sacred and the profane.

This is What the Frock?

This week on What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod explore the unexpected brilliance of artificial intelligence… and its tendency to ignore instructions entirely.

What starts as a simple rant about Glenn Beck’s A.I. paranoia turns into a hilariously absurd deep dive into a 1972 Italian gibberish song and a modern A.I.-generated bumper track that may or may not have written better lyrics than our hosts.

Along the way, there’s talk of Tai Chi, Twitter echo chambers, the strange support of WNBA players by unlikely fans, and why skipping the podcast’s musical intro might be your greatest mistake yet.

It’s thoughtful, weird, and wildly entertaining—just the way the Friar likes his wine and the Rabbi likes his Oreos.

So gather round, ye lost and daft, and hear a tale of nonsense, satire, and whatever the frock happened this week.

This is “What the A.I. Frock?” and you don’t want to miss it.

This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod light a match under the smoldering pile of modern discourse—and they brought marshmallows.

From Dave’s eye-opening realization that his night-shift nurse wife didn’t know about Israel’s clash with Iran, to the chilling political violence in Minnesota that somehow missed the media memo, the duo tackles it all with their signature blend of wit and worry.

They ask tough questions about echo chambers, ideological censorship, and the dangerous trend of approved phrases replacing actual thought.

Toss in a fiery rant about Greta, a roast of Blue Sky’s progressive meltdown, and some Orwellian billboards for good measure, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and cold beer in a warm bunker.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re the only sane one left in the room—good news. You’re not.

Welcome back to What The Frock?.

Welcome back to What The Frock?, where the robes are real, the satire is sharp, and the heresy is bipartisan.

Plus, Rabbi Dave, ever the salty sailor, weighs in on the Navy’s decision to rename the USS Harvey Milk—and what that means for Poseidon’s wine tab.

Sprinkle in a discussion about whether AI is becoming our new god, and you’ve got a frockin’ episode worth your Sunday.

Pour a drink, light a candle, and press play. Everything’s fine.

Allegedly.

What The Frock? – Podcast Introduction (150 Words)

This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod explore the fiery temper of the sun and the flaky madness of humanity. Rabbi Dave kicks things off with a surprise medical drama, proving once again that technology may be smart, but it’s not very thoughtful.
