What The Frock?

It's the day that  we celebrate the long and complicated human tradition of a belief in  resurrection. Yesterday in Cairo, twenty-two mummies of New Kingdom Pharaohs and Queens were paraded through town as they were moved to a brand new museum prepared just for them. They are a reminder of how long humans have believed in or hoped for an afterlife.

Friar Cook has a  reminder about the necessity of locking down your internet security. And in the WTF segment, we have a special request to return to one of Rabbi's Dave's favorite places, Flathead County, Montana...

Why do we do things that we know are bad for us? Like skydiving, smoking, hooking up for sex with serial killers, or ordering delivery food without a vibrating dildo?

‘Cause we’re just a bunch of cis-gendered pansexuals? Which, thanks to the Social Media dopamine, we felt the need to tell you about…

Back in June of 1987, almost forty years ago, in case you weren't feeling old already, a fellow by the name of Terrance Trent D'Arby released his first solo album, which he then described as "the most important album since Sgt Peppers."

He was of course, over exaggerating, but on purpose because he wanted to make a point. Then he died and to this day nobody really understands whatever point he was trying to make. We aren't likely to figure it out because, as he said, "Sometimes you just have to hit people over the head with it."

This helps explain why Robert Kraft got away with going to a Massage Parlor, as as we now refer to them, a "Spa."

Digital rights are all the rage right now, for pretty much anything you can convince a fool to buy. And in the weather, Waterspouts are attacking the Coast of Washington State.

It's all a great big ball of What the Frock????

In the religion of Wokeness, there are no forgivable sins. In the world of Rabbi Dave, there is at least one unforgivable sin – calling him on the cell phone, especially after 10pm.

But for those who have dared to offend the woke god , there is seemingly no way out, except for repeated pacification offerings that don’t really do anything except calm the god down for a short while, until the next great offense comes along to rekindle the outrage from the same people who are snarfing down junk food at night while claiming to be vegans all day long.

Or… it could just all be a big misunderstanding because your wife was concerned about her brain leaking…

What started as a discussion over the Twitter Profile of a Congressional candidate in North Carolina, led to a long and winding road for the Good Friar and the Rabbi. From the concept of “free will” leading to the idea of the “Social Gospel” which in turn leads to perceived existential threats drove economic interests that seemingly had little to nothing in common with religious interests to unite to oppose common threats.

And developed into the religious-political entities that for the past FOUR decades have opposed the older religious-political entities.

So in a world where we are told to keep religion out of our politics, what happened?

As every true goliard knows, the greatest threat to what we do is those in power getting rid of those who dare to say “No,” to them. It happened in 1933, and it happened again – at least in threat – this past week when a Congresswoman decided that nobody should be telling her that the rules mean she cannot just do whatever she wants. Like most tyrants, she reacted as one would expect.

The Good Friar Cook has some guidelines for us on how to Zoom, almost none of which Rabbi Dave follows.

And in WTF News, never go preaching door-to-door if you have forgotten to dress properly… or at all (guess the State?). And world famous and fabulously rich rap artist Azealia Banks says that being Jewish is easy! Mazel tov, Bitches!

Irony, thy name is What The Frock?

After a power outage induced recording delay and a mid-show internet dropout, Friar Cook and Rabbi Dave talk a Texas sized power related fiasco, coffee, Davido’s Tequila (If You Can Still See, It’s NOT Davido’s!) and the cultural appropriate of labels by social media influencers who are not Mexican nationals…

It's Lupercalia!

For those of you still stuck in the 21st Century, that's the pagan Rome celebration of whipping women and then "romancing" them for an entire year that was later replaced by Valentine's Day, which is, of course, a celebration of a creepy old dude getting his head cut off after he professed his love for a formerly blind jail-keepers daughter!

Seriously.

Also Coyotes from both Florida and Silverdale are involved because it wouldn't be Lupercalia without them!

The MOST important thing to keep in mind right now - above all else - is that no matter what you've been told or what you believe, there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever, that they are better than you.

And they know it.

Which is why if you did what they did, you'd go to jail, but they get to brush off 60 Minutes and keep on trucking...

It's been a good week for Goliards! Unless you happen to be a robin hood type, then maybe not so much?

Our States are beginning to enter Phase II, but once again, the rules make absolutely Zero sense. Arbitrary lines seem to more about who voted for a Governor than any actual scientific data about the virus.

At least one large  equity fund is preparing to buy your data. So.. you PAID somebody to test your DNA, and now that data will be purchased by a giant company which has announced that  it will sell that data to whomever wants it. For what, exactly?
