That's Just Yonkers!
May 14, 2023 23:17 - 56 minutes - 19.3 MBThe good news isn't that Britney Griner is back playing practice games in the WNBA. It's what she says about it that really has people excited. Meanwhile the City of Yonkers, New York is really mad at New York City over the dumping of illegal immigrants. But even Yonkers isn't as mad as a Florida couple who had planned to get married in Orange County (NY), but... well... their big day got usurped by the same thing. Dave's getting ready to hit the road, so savor this tasty morsel of What Th...
King Chuck's Sexy Sausage Fingers
May 07, 2023 21:15 - 55 minutes - 19.2 MBYes, King Chuck III got hisself coronated yesterday at three in the morning. we did not get up to watch. That said, we still have questions. A man is dead after his behavior on the NYC Subway caused problems. The bigger question is whether or not this was truly just “mental illness” or if it was learned behavior? King Chuck has “giant sausage fingers.” And now, for just $63, you can suck on them. All that and more this week on What The Frock?
What Is Wrong At Harvard?
April 30, 2023 18:04 - 1 hour - 22.6 MBA Law professor at Harvard – the smartest school in America – says that there is just too much free speech out there, especially on the interwebs. And he isn’t even close to being the dumbest professor at Harvard – the smartest school in America. Speaking of dumb, what if the Bud Lite execs , who have said that they had no clue what was going on, actually didn’t know what was going on? was firing Tucker Carlson a dumb move or a master stroke of manipulation? People are dumb enough to want...
And We're Back...
April 16, 2023 20:32 - 52 minutes - 18.1 MBIt’s been a month of Sundays, but at long last, Rabbi Dave is back! Together with the Good Friar Rod, we’ll take a look at the leak of classified documents and why it is that pretty much everybody seems to think that this was a good thing. Plus the boys will solicit unqualified medical advice from listeners. Twenty-one year old junior birdmen don’t seem all that smart. Did Governor Jay Inslee manage to personally cause a Washington State Ferry to crash?
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
March 12, 2023 19:44 - 1 hour - 20.9 MBIt's the morning of the Daylight Savings Time "Spring forward" time change. There is always a lot of confusion, a lot of arguments and... a lot of resentment. Privacy concerns dominate the news, with the FBI admitting (finally) that it has continued to purchase data from cell phone providers. At the same time, a nonprofit Catholic group has also purchased VERY specific data from a specific App in order to out and to dox a very specific group that it does not like. Do you grow or show? ...
DO NOT ALLOW THE BEAR ACCESS TO YOUR FOOD
March 05, 2023 20:03 - 1 hour - 20.9 MBAccording to a recent report, people who read The Lord of the Rings and 1984, are "more likely" to become "right wing extremists." Unfortunately, the report had no information about middle aged men who follow crypto currency scams on Instagram. Meanwhile, the National Park service has some advice in case of bears, and we are now living in the final hours before the world no longer has a History of the World Pt II... All that and more, this week on What The Frock with Rabbi Dave and Fria...
He Touched the Ball With His Hands
February 26, 2023 18:58 - 57 minutes - 19.6 MBGood day, hosers! Rabbi Dave has returned from his voyage across the mighty Pacific Ocean! While he was gone, things changed... Dilbert got canceled, Project Veritas got rid of James O'Keefe, and even James Bond got rewritten to make him less... James Bond... Turns out Coke and Pepsi are good for something's... while telling people that we orbit the sun will get you thrown in jail. All that and more today on What The Frock?
There, There...
February 19, 2023 19:48 - 1 hour - 21 MBA recent article has the Good Friar and the Rabbi discussing whether or not a sermon, written entirely by AI, can have any "soul," whatever that means. Of course it dredges out the past for Dave and it turns out that he has no empathy. For anybody. J.K. Rowling gets an apology, but it has a weird vibe to it. The military is shooting down balloons, but they ain't West Taiwanese. And in the audience participation segment, we have an HR nightmare of a set up...
Deep Fake UFOs
February 12, 2023 21:34 - 57 minutes - 19.8 MBRecent developments in the world of AI have the good Friar and the Rabbi concerned about the things that might be coming in the future. It's more than just using AI to create deep fakes that offend and outrage. In a politically charged atmosphere, how will you discern truth from the fake? It appears to be open season on UFOs. The Pentagon told us that at least three have now been shot down. West Taiwanese satellites are now being used to put on laser light shows in Hawaii. All that and mo...
Pure Evil, Etm...
February 05, 2023 19:03 - 58 minutes - 20.2 MBAfter a rough night, the Rabbi and the Friar are up and at it to celebrate all things Balloon! A weird fish story has them not wondering WTF, while Flori-dah has them wondering WTF? A look at language has them saying putain de merde, Etm! The State of the Union is coming up this week... let's take bets on what JaBiden will say and not say!
"The" French
January 29, 2023 20:47 - 59 minutes - 20.3 MBThe Associated Press spent "the" week apologizing for the one sin that requires no atonement whatsoever. Somebody who works at the AP decided that in one of their stories they had referred to "the" French by a derogatory term. It's hard to imagine that such a term exists but in their mind, it does and they had offended "the" entire French world by using the offensive term. And the entire world, including "The" French, laughed at them. More classified documents, more fun. More turkeys and...
Three Days of Darkness
January 22, 2023 21:18 - 1 hour - 21.1 MBIt seems like everywhere you turn, AI Chatbots are taking over the world. And maybe even WTF? It seems that religious leaders are starting to use AAI to write their sermons, which could be a problem because how in the name of G-d could an AI Chabot explain the Plague of Darkness which has Dave in a dither this week? The Conservative media world seems to be lost in a dispute over $20Million. Either that or the people involved are just... well... stupid. Shrinkage has now been confirmed...
Dave Says "I'm Not a Conspiracy Guy, But..."
January 15, 2023 21:15 - 58 minutes - 39.8 MBThe Vice President of the United States is always one heartbeat away from the Presidency. Or these days, one box of CLASSIFIED documents from the Oval Office? Maybe? Or is all that just a... conspiracy theory? Kinda like whether or not the climate induced cardiac events are actually happening. Or not? We've got a listener WTF and in the middle of that we learn that Prince Harry tried to kill the King. Once upon a time that would have gotten him sent to the Tower. Dave now knows why he ta...
What's the 4-1-1?
January 08, 2023 22:07 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MBWelcome to 2023. New year, same old weirdness. Telephone Operators who man the 4-1-1 lines are now out of a job. We have a big list of things that will probably happen in 2023. Or probably not. The Two Princes of England has us rooting for Oliver Cromwell to make a comeback. No matter what Tik Tok tells you, putting potatoes in your socks is stupid. Almost as stupid as people who call 9-1-1 (which we should also retire) because they can't delete a voice mail. It's the first episode o...
The WTF Holiday Special
December 25, 2022 17:14 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MBRabbi Dave, Friar Rod and Baptist Billy get together on the most joyous of days (Festivus) to rant and praise the best and the worst of the Holiday Season. Whether it's TV or films or food or just their holiday plans, whatever happens, PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE COPS!!!!!!
Hallmark Hot
December 18, 2022 21:24 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBIt has been an up and down week, with Dave's misadventures under Nitrous Oxide and Rods delicious deflowering when it comes to Little Debby's Christmas Tree cakes! The annual tradition of taking a look at the crazy Hallmark Christmas/Holiday flicks is back. This year with diversity! The year the boys look to Artificial Intelligence to create the PERFECT Hallmark christmas flick - "The HALLMARK HOT!" staring Elon and AOC, whose film career could use a shot in the arm. The World Cup is ov...
A Top 25% In The World Podcast!
December 11, 2022 22:56 - 1 hour - 42.8 MBThe Methodist church is splitting apart, which momentarily will distract the good Friar and Rabbi Dave from the bigger issues of the day, such as the Britney Griner trade and the Twitter files. But even none of that should distract from the major accomplishment of this show, what the frock, achieved in 2022!!! (three exclamation show, so you know that we mean it)
Miss Croatia
December 04, 2022 22:37 - 1 hour - 42.6 MBFriar Rod and Rabbi Dave are deeply concerned that the true reason for the season has been... well... lost. They are also worried about the lack of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes in the Central Valley of California. The World Cup is over for the United States, but NOT for the nation of Croatia. The locals in Qatar don't really like Croatia's biggest star, or the football team either. The Mayan's might be bringing back human sacrifice, especially for women who twerk on top of thei...
Man, I Feel Like a Woman! Or a Beer...
November 20, 2022 20:21 - 59 minutes - 40.7 MBAfter a rough start to the day - or in Friar Rod's case, a continuation of the previous evening - the boys are pleased that Congress is finally addressing the most serious issue facing our nation today - Taylor Swift Tickets! The World Cup begins today. Until a couple of days ago nobody actually cared. But now, Qatar has decided that unless you happen to be a wealthy oil sheik, you cannot have a beer at the games. The director of FIFA has made it clear that this makes him feel like a... W...
Neanderthal DNA (Was re: Election Results)
November 13, 2022 21:02 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBWelcome to Day Six of the 2022 Midterm elections! It turns out that there is a scientific reason, if not a theological one, that the Neanderthal's didn't survive. It has to do with who was loving who. Rabbi Dave told you six months ago that there would be no "Red Tsunami." The question is why did so many people believe that there would be? Was it the as simple as the polls were "wrong?" Or is there an issue with the quality of candidates? And what if the real conspiracy about election co...
Midterms 2022: Le Tits Now!
November 06, 2022 22:02 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBThank the gods that it is almost over... for now... What is it? why... It's THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER!!!!!! It's not, but that isn't stopping Chelsea Handler from once again exposing herself to convince you that it IS the most important election ever AND that Daylight Savings Time is a MEGA MAGA Republican conspiracy to keep you from voting. The simple and unarguable FACT is that this is not only NOT the most important election ever, there are a lot of reasons to believe that...
The Venn Diagram Ménage à Trois
October 30, 2022 19:05 - 1 hour - 46.4 MBRabbi Dave is having a tough time of things. Some of you... and you know who you are... have hurt his feelings. Meanwhile the Vice President of the United States has a weird sexual inclination. And she's willing to openly discuss it, while cackling and clearly thinking about pushing the old guy off the stage. The Paul Pelosi story is weird. I think that we can all agree on that, even if you actually believe that some random undocumented Canadian nudist broke in and just whacked him with a ...
Biggus Dickus
October 23, 2022 19:48 - 1 hour - 20.7 MBAre you easily offended (or don't like Monty Python)? Then you most definitely do not want to listen to the most offensive and sacrilegious episode ever of What the Frock... which was definitely - no doubt about it - not recorded on an Saturday evening, but rather a usual Sunday morning even though the boys are drinking really early on a Sunday morning, not a Saturday night.
Serial
October 16, 2022 19:32 - 58 minutes - 20.2 MBRabbi Dave is morose this morning. Why? Because now that Autumn is upon us, he is realizing that life no longer has any meaning because Evil never rests and will always conquer good. It is relentless and no amount of comfort from Friar Rod will restore his faith in humanity or baseball. The proof of the Rabbi's theory on evil can be found in the city of Stockton, CA. It s here that a Serial Killer has been caught. But it won't be the last one. Friar rod has an obsession with AI. Now...
Wait... Velma Is Gay?
October 09, 2022 21:12 - 59 minutes - 20.5 MBWith his liver functions no longer "elevated," Rabbi Dave is reduced to taking Benadryl to try and sleep. The problem is it makes him late to stuff. Neither of the boys have seen the new rom-com "Bros." Is it because they are homophobes or because the film isn't that good? To the surprise nobody who doesn't wok for Fox News or the Blaze, the Scooby Doo character, Velma, turned out to be a lesbian. Really... who was surprised by this? Our hero John Malkovich has a new movie coming out... ...
Land Sharks
October 03, 2022 07:01 - 1 hour - 21.3 MBIs it the end of the world as we know it? with all these international brouhaha going on these days, it seems like we might be. Part of the problem is that some people ever thought that podcasts were anything other than radio to begin with. Seriously. Rabbi Dave got a new cell phone, and at long lost, his greatest dream has been achieved!
Adieu, Mr. Earl Jones
September 25, 2022 19:58 - 59 minutes - 20.3 MBOn this sad day, the Rabbi and the Friar lament the departure of James Earl Jones, the very voice of Star Wars and King Jaffe Joffer. Meanwhile there was no military coup in west Taiwan on Friday, so why did so many people believe that there had been one? The answer is becoming increasingly a problem, as Social Media once again demonstrates its scary ability to put information - bad or good - out there in a hurry. Have you tried the latest Social Media challenge, "Sleepy Chicken?" Of cour...
What Would Jesus Do?
September 19, 2022 02:00 - 1 hour - 21.1 MBThe whole Martha's Vineyard fiasco finally went there. The entire argument became "Who are the "true" Christians? Meanwhile, Meta, which used to be Facebook, is performing a silver platter service for the FBI. If you're going to cheat at chess, at least make it stimulating. And if you happen to be in SeaTac's North Park, you'll need a helmet!
King Charles, Played by John Malkovich
September 12, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 22.1 MBThe Goliards have come full circle. At long last, we once again have a King Charles (played by John Malkovich)! Like the last time (and the time before that) we had a King Chuck, it's time for Goliards everywhere to celebrate and sing boisterously while drinking like it's a symposium. It's a celebration of all things (not you, Ireland) English Monarchial system, no matter how silly it seems to us...
Send Nudes!
September 04, 2022 23:29 - 1 hour - 21.6 MBIt was a confusing week... the messages that were being sent by the Supreme Leader were, at best, mixed and confusing. The bigger question is simply who exactly at whom was he talking? Because it didn't make much sense to the Good Friar or the Rabbi. Or anybody else, for that matter. Swatting is still a thing, and even if the interwebs are protected by the 1st Amendment, should the use of the internet to incite violence - even if it is just potential violence - be allowed? Dave's WTF sto...
Show Me On The Doll Where Ben Shapiro Hurt You
August 30, 2022 21:26 - 1 hour - 20.8 MBThis past week, the Podcast Movement, which isn't the entirety of podcasting by any means, decided to have it's annual conference at which they sold space to The Daily Wire, based upon their (the Daily Wires) "heavy involvement in podcasting." Then the PM decided to apologize to the world for it. The State of California has decided to go a step further an ban the sale of ALL internal combustion engine vehicles a little over a decade from now. Why anybody still lives there is beyond the R...
This Is Merely Odd
August 22, 2022 01:31 - 1 hour - 20.9 MBThe Rabbi and the soon to not be a Friar are back to complain about teenagers and alarm clocks, Tik Tok and pre-season NFL football. Plus they get into the latest developments in the Ukraine War, the Yellowstone National Park body count, why medieval Friars were some of the most disgusting people to ever live, and Alec Baldwin who needs to be careful about what he is shooting at! It's a brand new episode of What the Frock!
Entemann's Chocolate Donuts
August 14, 2022 20:47 - 1 hour - 20.6 MBRabbi Dave is an a mood today. "Why?" the Good Friar Rod will ask? Because Dave had dreams that were smashed by his twelve year old son. Meanwhile there is a bigger question. Is it actually possible that some of our political "leaders" are really as stupid as they sound? Or is it all just an act, because, seriously, you would have to be a moron to actually believe some of the things that they are saying in public. John Hinckley, Jr... you know, the guy that shot the President... is having...
Alex Jones Lips
August 08, 2022 02:14 - 59 minutes - 20.4 MBRabbi Dave goes to a casino and actually wins! So why is he having an issue with it? Meanwhile the Good Friar pushes Dave's buttons when it comes to callers to Talk radio shows, which was supposed to be a rant about "being crazy for money" on the air. That's Dave's pet theory for how people like Hal Turner and Alex Jones get millions of dollars from stupid people. If your nickname is "Redbeard," you probably shouldn't steal a parrot. Never trust a scientist, especially a French one with a T...
Oregon... Keep Right...
August 01, 2022 02:18 - 1 hour - 20.7 MBAt long last the summer voyages are over and the Rabbi and Friar have returned. After four thousand miles across the country at 80mph because nowadays that is "safe," and a couple of gas stops in Oregon, Dave has a serious message for America. Listen up, because you need to hear this and this nations driver need to their act together and star driving like we're supposed to. In the ensuing days, Dave managed to get his Facebook account nuked. Or maybe not. Who knows? Facebook isn't s...
Nancy's Giant Balloons
July 10, 2022 20:27 - 56 minutes - 19.5 MBFor the moment, at least, the Rabbi and the Friar are back. Rod's voice is now fully recovered and there is much to catch up on. Dave is convinced that he has the world's dumbest cat, while he also has some travel advice if you're coming to the Pacific Northwest. Fireworks were entertaining on the 4th of July, and it turns out that Nancy Pelosi has really big... well... breasts. Who knew? Refrigerators are being opened by Instagram models and stupid people are hiring fake hit men. All ...
She Speaks Okay The English
June 05, 2022 19:08 - 58 minutes - 20.1 MBIt's been a few weeks, but the Rabbi and the Friar are back after several adventures which includes Dave catching the Covid. Nancy Pelosi says that the Archbishop who denied her communion is being hypocritical, while Kim Kardashian is trying to convince you to eat something that she herself refuses to eat. What the Frock is back... at least for today!
98 Percent
May 08, 2022 18:41 - 55 minutes - 22.1 MBRabbi Dave is feeling really old today. Why? First of all, it seems like Twitter has decided that old white guys are all Taliban types who want all women covered in public. Wait... that's the actual Taliban types who have unwavering support from Talabanisti's who support the idea of women being subservient to men in real life, not some television adaptation of a bad book that makes Twitter types point fingers at people they don't even know. Star Trek Strange New Worlds had it's much an...
Dogs and Cats
May 01, 2022 17:57 - 51 minutes - 20.6 MBAs the world prepares to celebrate "Victory day," it will seemingly have an extra emphasis in places where people hate Nazis. And just who are these Nazi's? You might think it would be rabidly anti-Semitic totalitarians, but it turns out it pet lovers. Elon Musk might have purchased Twitter for a single reason - to troll one specific politician. In any case, there is a specific reason why the political Left is losing its collective mind over him, and it's not really about Free Speech... Th...
Harbingers of Doom
April 17, 2022 22:54 - 57 minutes - 39.2 MBAfter getting a late start on a Passover Sunday morning, the Rabbi is deeply concerned about the rise of AI machines, which are now even being used to make... coffee??? The Good Friar is here to calm things down. Or not... Elon Musk wants to buy twitter, which is causing all kinds of Goliardesque behavior that has everybody confused as to whether or not it's satire or whether or not anybody actually believes that Nazi's and King George III both believed in free speech??? In Switzerland, ...
When Did Life Become a Tom Clancy Novel?
April 11, 2022 15:08 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBAs the world turns, things are getting really, and we mean really, weird! The word which we no longer say is making a comeback, complete with robot dogs threatening grandma. Russia finally has an explanation for the reasons behind its invasion of Ukraine, and it’s definitely not what we thought it would be. The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo once entertained us with some science fiction fantasy. But Rabbi Dave is become increasingly concerned about Friar Rods AI life…
The Jiggly Room
April 03, 2022 19:10 - 1 hour - 41.9 MBThe good Friar is highly distracted today as his beloved Newcastle is losing badly to Tottenham. Rabbi Dave's team, Norwich City, is in dead last place, so he doesn't care anymore. So where did Disney go wrong? Some think it was when they hired activists, other think it was when they lied to the American people about the lemmings. Rabbi Dave has a theory that involves neither of those... The War in Ukraine is providing the Russian leader with plenty of opportunities to ask the question: ...
I Don't Know, I'm Not a Dictator...
March 27, 2022 18:46 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBThe Goliards are out in full force this week because of the stupid things that our leaders are saying about various things, including the Loch Ness Monster, Ukraine, Cherry Trees, various Kim Jongs and Mt. Everest!
People Are Dying In Ukraine and All That...
March 20, 2022 19:39 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MBLike the salmon of Capistrano, the Rabbi and the Friar have survived the "Winter of Death!" The problem is that now that the germ we shall not mention ever again is erased from the politics of the day, there is another to take its place. Rabbi Dave has a technical question about making decisions from feelings rather than from science and how that effects both breakfast and NCAA Swimming championships. Meanwhile the Good Friar has a new... well... not quite girlfriends, but not quite.....
Dr. Fauci, White Courtesy Phone... Paging Dr. Fauci...
March 13, 2022 21:44 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MBRabbi Dave and Friar Rod celebrate the final end... maybe... of one of the most ridiculous public policies to ever be inflicted on Americans since prohibition. The Mask Mandates have at long last (not you, Hawaii) clunked to their end. Mind you, literally nothing has changed except for a single memo making the rounds that makes it clear it was NEVER about the science. Dave has managed to get himself appointed to his HOA Board. why, you may ask? THIS is why... From the "Who Are These ...
Ructions
March 06, 2022 18:26 - 54 minutes - 50 MBTo be absolutely 100% crystal clear, the Rabbi and the Friar hate each other. Deeply. In the meanwhile, World War III is getting scarier by the moment, although its not without it's entertaining moments, such as the Chechnyan Special Attack Squad that managed to get itself trapped in an elevator. Or the Babushka with a jar of pickles and a Russian drone that she didn't want buzzing her. On the down side, the Russians have arrested a major US Basketball "star," and for the last three week...
The Ukraine Situation
February 27, 2022 19:13 - 59 minutes - 41.1 MBRabbi Dave has been banned from Facebook because of the Ukraine situation? Well… not exactly, but maybe? The Russians have gone full Putin, and now the world is sitting on the edge of a nuclear madman’s stability. Dave lives just a few miles from a major target, but in the era of Mutal Assured Destruction (MAD), is anybody really safe from one mans insanity? John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, has made it clear that he is unhappy about the way the Ruskies are throwing up a bunch of CO2 whic...
Absolutely The Highest ESG Score Ever!
February 20, 2022 15:55 - 1 hour - 41.8 MBThe Canadian government has gone full Putin, but don't worry yourself, because Friar Rod and Rabbi Dave have the absolute highest ESG score ever achieved by any podcast!
The Superb Owlympics
February 13, 2022 15:22 - 52 minutes - 36 MBFriar Cook and Rabbi Dave take a look at the Winter Olympic Games, which nobody seems to be watching (except for Mrs. Friar). The weird thing is that 75% of the West Taiwanese Ice Hockey team, which is only in the games because of a rule that says the host country get an automatic bid, is in fact, not actually, technically, per se, West Taiwanese... Meanwhile, the cancelling crazies continue, this time their target is the singer Adele, who is proud to be a woman. NASA has released some ...
San Juan De La Vega (ka-BOOM!!!!)
February 06, 2022 18:03 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MBRabbi Dave and Friar Rod are back to talk about some really exciting news - the Good Friar is a Grandfather! Dave has been waiting several weeks for the calendar to turn to February so as to be able to celebrate one of the greatest Goliard festivals ever conceived. It is held every February in a little place called San Juan de la Vega in Mexico and it is now in the top 5 on Dave's bucket list...
