Welcome to What The Frock?, the show that starts with the weather and somehow ends up questioning the collapse of modern thought.

In this episode, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod do what polite society pretends to hate and secretly loves. They make small talk. About cold snaps, fog, snow, Florida apologies, and why everyone asks how you are without wanting an answer. But do not be fooled. The weather is just the doorway.

Very quickly, the conversation turns to what has changed in us. Short attention spans. Endless scrolling. Movies that have to explain themselves every ten minutes. News cycles that replace thinking with reacting. Narratives that form before facts even show up.

Along the way, Netflix gets blamed, Star Trek gets defended, gravity allegedly shuts off on August 12, 2026, and someone tries to sell you anti gravity supplements.

It is funny. It is skeptical. It is unapologetically old school.

Hold on to your hat. This is What The Frock?

Welcome back to What the Frock?, the show where a rabbi, a friar, and a strong cup of coffee try to make sense of a world that has clearly skipped a few maintenance checks.

In this episode, we start where all serious analysis begins, with football heartbreak and bad bets. From there, we wander, cheerfully and with intent, into the strange new marketplace where people no longer wager on games but on governments, resignations, and the expiration dates of world leaders. Not if, mind you, but when. That alone should tell you something about the age we are living in.

Along the way, we ask uncomfortable questions about media, madness, and why shouting has replaced persuasion. We talk about the economics of outrage, the difference between conviction and performance, and what happens when even the loudest voices start blinking at the craziness around them. We also notice something quieter and far more unsettling, the absence of celebration as the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaches with barely a whisper.

There are no tidy answers here. Just history, skepticism, gallows humor, and a shared sense that silence often says more than noise ever could. Pull up a chair. Pour a drink if that is your custom. The frock is on, and the world is still strange.
