Welcome back to What The Frock, where faith meets foolishness and caffeine meets chaos. This week, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod are running on fumes, sarcasm, and coffee strong enough to qualify as a controlled substance. Rod has just returned from a cybersecurity conference in Vegas, and Dave is preparing for shoulder surgery while trying to do everything left-handed. That includes making coffee, typing, and keeping his house from catching fire.

Between time zone conspiracies, Columbus Day controversies, and the eternal mystery of CNN logic, the conversation spins wildly, as always, between the absurd and the oddly profound. Along the way, the boys mark five years of What The Frock, reflect on their ordination, thank their loyal supporters, and muse about faith, sports, and friendship.

It is vintage Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod: distracted, hilarious, honest, and completely unfiltered. Tune in and frock on.

Welcome to What The Frock? where reason and ridicule meet over coffee and common sense. This week, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod tackle three wildly different but strangely connected stories. It begins with the uproar over Netflix and its so-called “transgender agenda,” fueled by Elon Musk and a fifteen billion dollar hit to the company’s value. From there, they turn to Washington’s latest production, the government shutdown that nobody seems to have noticed.

Finally, things take a turn for the wild when Dave tells the story of a man in Missouri who was mauled by a bear after sending his family pictures of it. The lesson? The chances of being eaten by a bear are low, but never zero. Join the conversation, laugh at the absurd, and maybe keep your distance from both Netflix and the nearest campground.

This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod tackle the strange and noisy world of advertising. From podcasts to streaming services, from political campaigns to Super Bowl spectacles, they ask a simple question: is anyone actually paying attention?

Dave reveals why he refuses to charge for ads on the show, noting that most listeners skip them anyway. The two debate which ads manage to grab an audience and why live reads still work when flashy commercials fail. Political ads come under fire too, especially when campaigns rely on recycled stock photos that fool no one.

The conversation expands into bigger questions about media spin, government power, and whether we can still trust the voices shouting for our attention. There is laughter, skepticism, and a touch of nostalgia as they wrap up with sequels, comedy classics, and Dave’s upcoming shoulder surgery.
