What The Frock? episodes

  • Bananas... Or Else...

    It  seems as though things have come full circle for Dave & Rod. We started with COVID lockdowns and now we are back to COVID lockdowns.  This time though we have the added element of implied threats and  government officials who seem hell bent on making certain that YOU comply while they themselves continue to act as if they don’t really  care.

    The Right Reverend Rodbo, Laird of Oakdale, has your BEER of the WEEK, while Dave delves into the eMail bag to answer the question: Do you like bananas?

    The Historical Rabbit Hole of the Week takes us to the mythical Island of Baja California and our Listener City of the Week is a place full of satellites. And beaches.

  • The Synaxis of the Archangel Michael and the other Bodiless Powers

    The Right Reverend Rodbo, Larid of Oakdale, and Dr. Rabbi Colonel Dave gather to celebrate the Synaxis of the Archangel Michael and the other Bodiless Powers of Heaven.

    Dave, of course, is in a mood over Social Media and the listener who doesn't like his long-standing policy about validating other peoples existence. Meanwhile Rodbo, Laird of Oakdale, is taking his Bride of thirty-one years to Pismo, which meant Dave had to get up early to record. But at the end of the day, it won't stop Rod from bringing you the BEER of the WEEK or Dave from drifting down TWO Rabbit Holes of the Week, including why Jesus was painted to look like a 15th Century Mass Murderer and how the Russians managed to do the impossible this week in 1986.

    Our Listener City  of the Week takes us to Scandinavia in what, once upon a time, was Denmark, then Sweden and now is "Norway," which may or may not be an actual place.

  • Sanhaim Blessings Upon Thee

    It's the scariest week of the year, as evidenced  by the presence of ghosts, spirits, politicians and the end of the baseball  season.

    In the middle of a COVID Super  Spreader Yodeling contest, The Right Reverend Rodbo has your  BEER of the WEEK. In ancient Athens, an early version of Survivor had  the people voting off politicians and Dave is trying to go to the gym and not  have to put up with the "Do You Even Lift, Bro?" bro's...

    On a scary episode of Sanhaim  DNR, the boys are here to keep you calm and carrying on...

  • The Invisible Yarmulke

    On  this weeks episode of the Podcast formerly known as “Do Not  Resuscitate,” the Right Reverend Rodbo and Dr. Rabbi Colonel Dave  discover that there is more to this ordination thing than they thought at first glance.

    They  now realize that they will have to deal with people who actually like  the most disgusting substance on the planet, and that there are some  people who still believe in the paranormal.

    Reverend Rodbo has your BEER of the WEEK, which is sour. Rabbi Dave’s Historical Rabbit Hole of the Week, actually has a rabbit in it! Or… possibly a large ill-tempered cat.

    It is true that a lady who was listening to the podcast formerly known as “Do Not Resuscitate” was admitted to a courtroom…

  • The Pyschosexual Habits of Peruvian Barmaids

    On this episode of DO NOT RESUSCITATE, Rabbi Colonel Dave and The Right Reverend RodBo delve into the political and social issues surrounding the psychosexual habits of barmaids in Peru. Despite their theological differences, this deeply controversial subject is treated with the greatest possible respect by these two fine men of the cloth as they examine the impacts both socially and politically as the presumptive President-elect, Joe Biden, has promised that he will finally address this tragic problem.

    Just kidding… they are off on a romp through the World of Coke, Rax Roast Beefs scintillating spokesman, Beer, and how American came to love the parka. And Peruvian Barmaids…

    Also… Is it “On this episode” or “In this Episode?” The Grammarly dickedy-dee doesn’t seem to know…

  • Better Than Ham

    Both the Right Reverend Rodbo  and the recently re-frocked Rabbi Colonel Dave are here to bring you the word, which is both sacred and  brought to you by the good folks in Islip, NY.

  • Complaints With Dad

    After six plus months to "15  Days to Flatten the Curve," it's pretty clear that the impacts of the COVID-19  Pandemic have been more far reaching than originally expected. Then again, it's  2020, so of course, they are.

    Rodbo has your  BEER of the WEEK, while Dave's BINGE is a surprising  Return to Tomorrow.

    Being as it's 2020, would  anybody really be surprised by cursing parrots or a  bunch of mummies? Of course, in a hundred years, we'll look back on this  and think to ourselves, "Why were those people so stupid?"

  • There's A Knack to Learning to Fly

    Dave decided to try to learn to  fly. It went about as well as one could expect when he failed to stick the  landing.

    It's also Yom Kippur, Judaism's  favorite celebration of joy and happiness and everything we have ever done  wrong, even the things the things we don't know we did wrong.

    The  BEER of  the WEEK isn't a Beer, but it is quite delicious. Dave's Historical  Rabbit Hole gets to the bottom of why Modesto, CA has a motto that is not the  one for which the people of Modesto actually voted. Meanwhile, over in Ho Chi  Min City (neè Saigon), the news has Rod asking WTF?

  • The Woke AI

    In the event that you did not already know, the boys are celebrating the Most Important Week in history today. The week followed what was obviously a very Merry Christmas…

    What,  if anything, is the difference between being “woke” and being a person  of faith? There are an uncomfortable numbers of similarities between  being in a a faith system and being “woke” politically speaking. It’s  actually becoming harder top tell the difference as “wokeness” becomes  more and more a religion.

    Rod has your BEER of the WEEK,  and The Binge has him watching along with his wife. Meanwhile Dave  watched one show, four times. Why? Because Roku’s Basilisk is already  here. And it’s frightening…

  • Agent Provocateur

    With Rodbo away on a TOP SECRET mission, Tim Preuss, who says that he hates the ACLU, steps into the weekly conversation.

    And we take a look at the recent setto over the acceptance of Nick Sandman, yes that guy, at a college of which you most likely have never heard in a place that is beautiful, but apparently full of secret agents looking to provoke things.

    RodBo did leave us with his BEER of the WEEK, and Dave tried really hard to Binge-watch TV, any TV this week, while Tim doesn’t even watch TV.

    The HISTORICAL RABBIT HOLE of the WEEK reminds us that the media manipulating things is nothing new.
