    This week on What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod wade into the holy waters of absurdity with a story so bizarre it could only be real.

    When the Prime Minister of Armenia offers to prove his religious bona fides by flashing the head of the national church, our frocked duo cannot resist diving into the theological and anatomical madness. But that’s just the opening act.

    They also tackle America’s recent bombing of Iran, explore why ESPN made a commentator apologize for saying something patriotic, and laugh their way through Texas’ new law that slaps warning labels on Doritos.

    There’s cricket, instant coffee conspiracies, and even a rant about Republicans acting like bureaucrats.

    It’s irreverent, insightful, and unapologetically offbeat.

    So pour yourself some instant Cafe Bustelo, grab a snack not banned in Europe, and prepare yourself for another wild ride through the sacred and the profane.

    This is What the Frock?

    Jun 21 2025

    This week on What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod explore the unexpected brilliance of artificial intelligence… and its tendency to ignore instructions entirely.

    What starts as a simple rant about Glenn Beck’s A.I. paranoia turns into a hilariously absurd deep dive into a 1972 Italian gibberish song and a modern A.I.-generated bumper track that may or may not have written better lyrics than our hosts.

    Along the way, there’s talk of Tai Chi, Twitter echo chambers, the strange support of WNBA players by unlikely fans, and why skipping the podcast’s musical intro might be your greatest mistake yet.

    It’s thoughtful, weird, and wildly entertaining—just the way the Friar likes his wine and the Rabbi likes his Oreos.

    So gather round, ye lost and daft, and hear a tale of nonsense, satire, and whatever the frock happened this week.

    This is “What the A.I. Frock?” and you don’t want to miss it.

    This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod light a match under the smoldering pile of modern discourse—and they brought marshmallows.

    From Dave’s eye-opening realization that his night-shift nurse wife didn’t know about Israel’s clash with Iran, to the chilling political violence in Minnesota that somehow missed the media memo, the duo tackles it all with their signature blend of wit and worry.

    They ask tough questions about echo chambers, ideological censorship, and the dangerous trend of approved phrases replacing actual thought.

    Toss in a fiery rant about Greta, a roast of Blue Sky’s progressive meltdown, and some Orwellian billboards for good measure, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and cold beer in a warm bunker.

    If you’ve been feeling like you’re the only sane one left in the room—good news. You’re not.
