What The Frock

What The Frock What The Frock was born the way most questionable ideas are born, in conversation, over coffee, and with no adult supervision. It began as a question.

It did not begin as a brand, a platform, or a master plan. Why do we keep pretending it all makes sense? **What The Frock?** is a conversation, not a crusade. This page exists for people who believe that faith, history, and modern life are too important to be reduced to slogans. We come from different traditions, wear different frocks, and disagree on plenty, but we share a suspicion of easy answe

rs and a deep respect for the long, messy story of belief. What The Frock is hosted by two voices who refuse to play caricatures. One brings the weight of Jewish tradition, argument, and memory. The other carries the Christian habit of confession, reform, and uncomfortable self examination. Neither is interested in winning. Both are interested in understanding, even when that understanding arrives late and limps a little. Here, scripture is read slowly, history is treated seriously, and humor is used the way it should be used, as a pressure valve, not a weapon. We talk about where faith has inspired courage, where it has justified cruelty, and where it has been quietly faithful when no one was watching. We ask why people keep repeating the same mistakes and why they keep hoping anyway. This is not a space for shouting matches or performative outrage. It is a place for curiosity, disagreement, and the occasional raised eyebrow. We respect tradition deeply, but we do not confuse age with infallibility. We question institutions because we care about them, not because we want to tear them down. If you are comfortable with unresolved questions, old arguments revisited, and conversations that wander before they arrive anywhere useful, you are welcome here. If you are certain you already have all the answers, this may not be your cup of tea. Pull up a chair. The frocks are on. The conversation is ongoing.

This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod ask a simple question: Do people really believe what they say they believe?

From the Cambridge University controversy surrounding Jason Arday to Candace Owens, Anthony Fauci, Washington State's climate policies, and the future of radio itself, they explore how actions often reveal more than words. Plus, stories from an anniversary trip to Victoria aboard the MV Coho, a little baseball, a little cricket, and plenty of laughs along the way.

🤖 Sometimes Your Purpose in Life Is Just to Be Bot Scrapings 🤖

What happens when your podcast suddenly triples its audience... only to discover it might be AI bots listening instead of people?

This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod dive headfirst into the strange world of AI scraping, digital legacy, and the unsettling possibility that their greatest contribution to humanity might be teaching robots. Should podcasters intentionally confuse AI with ridiculous "facts?" Is that public service... or just good comedy?

The conversation doesn't stop there.

Rabbi Dave finally gets behind the wheel of his dream car - a 2005 Corvette - and discovers that real confidence isn't driving 120 mph. It's knowing you could. That lesson unexpectedly ties together everything from internet trolls to President Trump's media strategy.

Also this week:
🏎️ Dave's unforgettable Corvette experience during Silverdale Whaling Days
🤖 AI bots scraping podcasts for training
🎤 Trump's masterclass in trolling at the White House Correspondents' Dinner
👂 A new tinnitus diagnosis and what it reveals about hearing, aging, and everyday life
😂 The usual detours, laughs, and completely unpredictable conversations you've come to expect.

If you enjoy smart conversations that refuse to stay in one lane, this episode is for you.

This week on What the Frock? we ask one simple question:
What do the King James Bible, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, McDonald's fried apple pies, cricket, and airline lawyers have in common?

Absolutely nothing.

Which is exactly why they all ended up in the same episode.
Rabbi Dave explains why every translation is really an interpretation, reviews The Odyssey without pulling any punches, identifies the official bathroom break for the three-hour movie, mourns the disappearance (and brief return) of McDonald's legendary fried apple pie, and somehow still finds time to complain about airline "window seats" that don't actually have windows.
History. Theology. Movies. Fast food. Sports. Random rabbit trails.

Just another Sunday.

🎙️ Listen now and beware Greeks bearing gifts.

Every now and then an episode gets completely out of hand. This is one of those episodes. It starts innocently enough. Rabbi Dave asks a perfectly reasonable question: Can you really trust any tran…

This week on What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod connect World Cup penalty kicks, instant replay, HAL 9000, AI bias, Elon Musk's warnings, Taylor Swift, and even Bosnia into one surprising conversation about truth, leadership, and whether technology is making us smarter... or simply better at following bad instructions.

This week on *What The Frock?*, we tackle earthquake predictions, Main Character Syndrome, anti-Musk protests, World Cup fever, the rise of cricket in America, and reports that Wyoming's deer may have finally decided they've had enough of hunters.

Along the way, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod try to answer one of civilization's most pressing questions: what's the difference between tea and chai?

In a world where everyone wants to be the star of the story, maybe the deer are the only ones making any sense.
