Rod has some new equipment and some issues with idols and mannequins, while watching some of the nonsense over the "insurrection" has the boys saying "WTF?"2022-01-1043 minWhat The Frock?St. Brice's DayRabbi Dave and Friar Cook recall the tragic events of St. Brice’s Day, when the invading Danish Vikings finally paid a terrible prices for… bathing.
Meanwhile, Gavin Newsome, who cackled and exploded into bats, finally showed up after two weeks, at a wedding officiated by Nancy Pelosi. You cannot make this stuff up, folks.
As you know, Dave HATES Disney. He always has. Why, you may ask? He explains just one of the reasons.

Friar Jedi Cook on the other hand, believes that the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccines is a valid religious exemption, although it's unclear as to what religions (if any) actually hold that position.
Then again, Dave is of the stated belief that the USS Connecticut was grabbed by a Kraken. It makes as much sense as anything else.

Unusually, Good Friar Cook is feeling just fine. The Internet is rapidly becoming a place of censorship and idea control by using the magic phrase, "content moderation..."
Rabbi Dave has a set of questions that are guaranteed to get a "COVID-19 Informational" box slapped on the post by Facebook. The poet e.e. cummings is in the news and Dave HATES one particular patriotic song and the reason involves the French King Louis XIV's dirty butt.2021-09-0559 minWhat The Frock?AstroNOTRabbi Dave and friar Cook are back from their three week sabbatical!
It was quite the road trip for Dave, but at least NASA and the FAA didn't change the rules on his mission right before he blasted off. Facebook doesn't seem to know anything about gardening, but really who's surprised?

What The Frock?Dong CopterTime Travel gives Rabbi Dave headaches. Even if you could go back just one year, what could you actually change? In Arizona, a political attack will have you saying WTF? It turns out that the Colonial Pipeline security system was pretty much the same as the one President Skroob has on his luggage.
And June 6th is an important day. Not only is if the anniversary of D-Day, but it's is also the sixtieth wedding anniversary for Dave's parents, an event that could be an interesting trip for a time traveler...2021-06-0754 minWhat The Frock?The Most Common Side EffectsThe Rabbi & The Good Friar take a look at the most common side effect of the COVID-19 Vaccine, which Rod has gotten, but Dave has not. The shot, not the side effect.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to offend pretty much everybody, the guys talk about a woman in Colorado, who happens to be an affirmed and ordained minister (just like the guys!) who has a... well... a different approach to getting peoples attention that is outside the norm generally accepted for preachers. Is she wrong? Of course not! That's what "affirming" means!

What The Frock?The GoliardsOnce, long ago, there were certain men of faith who followed the legendary Bishop Golias. They were renegade clerics. Men of no fixed abode, they are noted more as gamblers and tipplers than as poets or scholars.
Their satire was almost universally directed against the most powerful political entity of the day, the Church.
In 1277a.d., they were forever banned from chanting in the service, and later they would be removed from the privileges of the clergy. Their songs of love and drinking, thought the church, were at last silenced.
And yet, th...2021-01-0443 minWhat The Frock?USS ChristmasOn the final episode ever of Do Not resuscitate, Dave & Rod have been officially reprimanded by Facebook. Why? Because COVID-19, that's why! Which could be the reason that so many people are at least trying out new Social Media platforms. Or not.
Dave is wondering why people hate him. more specifically why they felt the need to ruin his turkey sandwich with their Christmas Greeting cards?

HoleWhile busy making sure that more than two thousand businesses in the Puget Sound area have been shuttered due to COVID, the local government in King County has some advice for us on how to practice safe COVID Sutra. It involves not staying at home, which it has advised us to do because, COVID, so as to make sure that the sex act is COVID safe. Which is just another reason to wonder what the heck is going on here?

In some places in Rod's home state, even walking is now considered an "unnecessary activity" and is thus banned by the powers that be. Meanwhile, Dave can still walk, but not by himself on a socially distanced treadmill at a now verboten gym. The mall, on the other hand, with its crowds and lines of people waiting to get into stores that are limited to six people inside them, is just fine and dandy to walk about inside.

And then, the Right Reverend Rod, Friar Cook, and Laird of Oakdale decided to cook dinner. Having removed a portion of his thumb, he was left with an appendage that looks… well… phallic.
And he won’t stop touching it.
The BEER of the WEEK, which Rod was consuming both before and after the Turkey Tetrazzini Incident, is a Pandemic favorite.

That's not the point, which is that nobody on that show can be possibly be classified as "neurotypical." This is why when one of these children gets cast in a new movie made by another neuroatypical performer who clearly has issues, the woke crowd comes out of their collective panties to complain.
What is different this time though, is quite refreshing. Much like a Churro flavored Stout, which is your BEER of the WEEK.

We started with COVID lockdowns and now we are back to COVID lockdowns. This time though we have the added element of implied threats and government officials who seem hell bent on making certain that YOU comply while they themselves continue to act as if they don’t really care.

Dave, of course, is in a mood over Social Media and the listener who doesn't like his long-standing policy about validating other peoples existence. Meanwhile Rodbo, Laird of Oakdale, is taking his Bride of thirty-one years to Pismo, which meant Dave had to get up early to record. But at the end of the day, it won't stop Rod from bringing you the BEER of the WEEK or Dave...2020-11-081h 00What The Frock?Sanhaim Blessings Upon TheeIt's the scariest week of the year, as evidenced by the presence of ghosts, spirits, politicians and the end of the baseball season.
In the middle of a COVID Super Spreader Yodeling contest, The Right Reverend Rodbo has your BEER of the WEEK. In ancient Athens, an early version of Survivor had the people voting off politicians and Dave is trying to go to the gym and not have to put up with the "Do You Even Lift, Bro?" bro's...

They now realize that they will have to deal with people who actually like the most disgusting substance on the planet, and that there are some people who still believe in the paranormal.

Despite their theological differences, this deeply controversial subject is treated with the greatest possible respect by these two fine men of the cloth as they examine the impacts both socially and politically as the presumptive President-elect, Joe Biden, has promised that he will finally address this tragic problem.

Then again, it's 2020, so of course, they are.
Rodbo has your BEER of the WEEK, while Dave's BINGE is a surprising Return to Tomorrow.
Being as it's 2020, would anybody really be surprised by cursing parrots or a bunch of mummies? Of course, in a hundred years, we'll look back on this and think to ourselves, "Why were those people so stupid?"2020-10-041h 00What The Frock?There's A Knack to Learning to FlyDave decided to try to learn to fly. It went about as well as one could expect when he failed to stick the landing.
It's also Yom Kippur, Judaism's favorite celebration of joy and happiness and everything we have ever done wrong, even the things the things we don't know we did wrong.
The BEER of the WEEK isn't a Beer, but it is quite delicious. Dave's Historical Rabbit Hole gets to the bottom of why Modesto, CA has a motto that is not the one for which the people of Modesto actually voted. Meanwhile, over in...2020-09-2758 minWhat The Frock?The Woke AIIn the event that you did not already know, the boys are celebrating the Most Important Week in history today. The week followed what was obviously a very Merry Christmas…
What, if anything, is the difference between being “woke” and being a person of faith? There are an uncomfortable numbers of similarities between being in a a faith system and being “woke” politically speaking. It’s actually becoming harder top tell the difference as “wokeness” becomes more and more a religion.

And we take a look at the recent setto over the acceptance of Nick Sandman, yes that guy, at a college of which you most likely have never heard in a place that is beautiful, but apparently full of secret agents looking to provoke things.

What The Frock?The Airplane! OffenseForty years ago, a film changed the way we watch movies.
Well... not really, but it did make us laugh. And we mean we laughed so hard we wet our pants and had to hold the popcorn bucket in front of our pants when we left the theater.
Now along comes a couple of Gen Xers who have decided that brilliant film was "sexist, racist" and don't forget about the naked breasts, of which there were two and only for a second. The real problem is that they don't understand why it's funny. Mostly because n...2020-09-0656 min
What The Frock?Baseball JoeDave has had an epiphany. It turns out, thanks to a cutting edge TV ad, that he has learned that it is entirely Trump’s fault that baseball has been eviscerated. Thank the baseball gods, Joe Biden, “Baseball Joe,” is GOING TO BRING IT BACK!!!!!
Which is pretty much all that is keeping Dave sane right now, because everything, even breathing, has now been labeled “racist.” Because you are listening to a white cis-gendered podcast, you too, are a racist.

After months of pretending to go to school online, are students really learning anything?
On The BINGE, Rod is introducing his young, innocent child to a tale of Superheroes being creepy and destructive. Dave is back to his old habits watching history and travel shows. This leads us to the HISTORICAL RABBIT HOLE of the WEEK, and also to Rodbo’...2020-08-1758 min
What The Frock?RobustIn Minsk today, there is a Presidential election going on. You didn’t know that? The current President is an “authoritarian style leader.” Or, if you prefer, a totalitarian dictator. His opponent is the wife of a jailed YouTube sensation. which explains why the whole place is shut down today. It also raises some questions about what would happen here if the election in November doesn’t go the way some people want it to go?

Rod doesn't speak French, or southern. we know this because his BEER of the WEEK is a southern delicacy from Mississippi.
Should Teenagers be able to "pre-register" to vote? As Ben is now ten years old, this might be an issue sooner rather than later. For Rod, it was an issue this past week as he took one of his kids to get a driver's permit.

What The Frock?Rabbit Holes. Deep Rabbit Holes...After a very busy Independence Day week, the boys are back. Rod's daughter got married. The President's speech has generated a flurry of responses from both sides, but one, in particular, had Dave chasing it down a very, very, very, weird rabbit hole. We have actually reached the point where a porn star's swimsuit is a bigger political storm than the actual politicians. Meanwhile, it's still true that it isn't "what" is said, but rather "who" says it."
