In the middle of a mid-term exam, Rabbi Dave realizes something about the past. The people who wrote for Star Trek were geniuses. The lessons they were trying to teach us were every bit as important then as they are now. If we can only listen to what they were… and are.. saying, we might find that the ideas they were reiterating have reasoned for more than a century. Which leave the rabbi and the Good Friar wondering what there is today teaching those same lessons? The Special counsel report on Joe

We are quite sure that virtually nobody in this audience has ever asked the question, “Why do they call it ‘Starbucks?'” But.. it became quite the point of contention this week for the Rabbi and the Rebbetizin. On the other hand, have you ever wondered who exactly it is that is watching TV and then going to their Doctor specifically to ask for the latest drug they saw advertised on TV? You’ve never done that. we’ve never done that…. so who exactly is doing that? The answer might surprise you

A Failure of Mating Strategies?

2024/01/28

Ah, “What the Frock?” – always diving into the deep end of society’s pool, aren’t we? This time around, we’re stirring the pot with an episode that’s sure to get the tongues wagging and maybe a few brows furrowing. The title? “A Failure of Mating Strategies?” Now, that’s a headline that’s both a question and an exclamation, a real hook. We kick off with a juicy theory that’s been simmering in the social pot: the idea that our mating strategies, or rather the apparent failure of them, are at the

It’s one of “those” days again. The Good Friar is still on his deathbed with the consumption, while Rabbi Dave has had almost no time to prep the show because life keeps getting in the way. Who exactly is “The Patriot Front?” And why do so many people believe that it is a 110% phony organization designed to do the opposite of what it claims to be? Even Elon seems to believe that it is completely fake. So given the nature of what the organization claims to be, why do so many believe that it is not

A Cultlike Adherence to Political Dogma

Gather ’round! I’ve got a tale to spin about our latest episode of “What The Frock?” with our ever-entertaining duo, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod. This week’s episode, “A Cultlike Adherence to Political Dogma,” is a wild ride, I tell ya – it’s got curses, politics, moon landing conspiracies, and even a dash of personal medical drama! Let’s kick things off with a journey back in time, shall we? Picture this: the Spanish Conquistadors, decked in their armor, landing in the New World. But, get this – our

2024/01/07

Welcome to 2024! It’s not off to a great start as the Rabbi has a massive cold and a raw throat. But unlike some people we could name, he did not go to Hawaii… 2024 is shaping up to be a complete and total sh*#tshow, from politics to conflicts to… the NFL? The USPS finally gets around to delivering a letter, while one homeowner has a missing driveway. The question is… why? It’s a rough start to the year, but the boys are back and ready for whatever 2024 can throw at us.

It’s the end of the world as we know it. The proof that something “Big” is happening is found not only in the actions of the world elites, such as Zuck who is building an underwater submarine lair, but in the films that we are force fed every year at this season that remind of of the glorious socialist revolutions and how capitalism will ultimately fall to the united workers collectives. Meanwhile in Flori-duh, not even statues of the beloved Manatees are safe from crocodile throwing lunatics, and –

Authentic Rizz

Is there a danger of AI taking over podcasting? If it did, would most people even notice? What if AI started interfering in politics? If the dueling “Words of the Year” have anything to say about it, there is an authentic possibility that our rizz may go totally unnoticed. We start with the video making the rounds on the social media webs, where it appears that the Cadets and Midshipman were chanting “F Joe Biden!” at the game. Listen… it should already be obvious, its fake video. But for some

The Good Reverend Rod is showing off his acting chops. If you’re in the Central valley, you’ll want to go and catch him on the stage. The State of Montana didn’t understand some fundamental things about the US Constitution, particularly the 1st Amendment. Or the 14th Amendment. Or the concept that you either have free speech, or you don’t. In California, the State has decided that public school curriculum is now required to include teaching on “media literary content” in “mathematics, science and

The Good Friar is still sick, but the boys are still here to wonder about the recent developments in the world of AI. Clearly there is a large among of stupid people who keep asking the AI to decide morally ambiguous questions. Then the complain on the interwebs about the answers that the great AI gives them.

The Good Friar Rod is back from his illness, but he is also now locked up in Twitter jail. While he was away, Rabbi Dave has figured out the best way for this podcast to become huge and world renown. It does involve a little bit of self-sacrifice and the involvement of listeners, but trust us, this will make us BIG!!!!! There is something wrong in California. All of sudden, leading Democrats there are telling the truth about stuff. Which is true, because… well… it’s true. WTF takes us to an

Something odd is happening, and it’s not just Friar Rod’s suspicious voice that doesn’t sound very “sick.” No… it’s whatever is happening in the country right now, which saw some very disturbing things happen last night in the nations’ capitol. It has Rabbi Dave thinking about the Roman Empire, which is something that most men do anyway. But this time, he’s wondering about whether or not there were advantages to the empire which we have failed to consider? SBF is very scared about going to prison

The One Where Some Dude in Floriduh Calls Dave a MAGA-it

The day starts when some rando listener down in Floriduh texts Rabbi Dave to inform him that he (Dave) is a part of the “MAGA wing” of our party.” He also thinks that Dave just does a super job on Dave Does History, BUT… Anyway, unlike many other shows, Slippery Fish Entertainment has a long record of tapes that show that make the point, so… well… maybe you should check with Jesus before you decide to take matters into your own hands and act on it? Just saying… Gun control was in the news again. At

Is there something going on over at Facebook?

Much like October 22nd sixty-one years ago, the world seems like it is on the edge. Back then, one man, we are told, “saved” the world from nuclear apocalypse.

The Rabbi and the good Friar get together to talk about the last week and the outrage we’ve seen. At the end of the day, hate is hate, and it never ends well. The national political scene isn’t much better. There is no Speaker of the House, while there are at least two wars that directly involves the United States in one way or another. But… there is growing noise to get a speaker. The question is, what exactly would the Democrats be willing to do to “help” the GOP? More interesting, what would the

The truth is, rabbi Dave doesn’t feel much like having fun today. This should be a joyous day filled with dancing and laughter. Instead, it’s full of death and destruction. A trip to a local fast food place leads to questions about tips and tipping, while a discussion of getting longer legs leads places you do not want to go. And like most real men in America these days (and forever), we discuss the glory that is Rome!

It's almost here, the holiest day of the year. And the Rabbi isn't as excited about it as you might think. The good news is that the NFL announced its Super Bowl Halftime show this morning. The bad news is that it will not include Edgar Allen Poe. The Ukraine War is still going on. And on. And on. And on. And. on. And more money. And more money. And more money.

President Biden has enough troubles of his own, and now the newspapers and the CIA are starting to weigh in on his problems in 2024. It seemingly turns out that "brewed" chicken isn't. On the other hand, it's not killing people. Idealy. For the last 78,000 years people have hated the

The Good Friar has a throat problem, which is solved by being a “double ender” podcast. You don’t care, but it’s all a part of the magic. Rabbi Dave is in a great deal of pain after a weekend of making field trips for Ben’s benefit. Gravity 5, Dave 0. Does anybody believe Gavin Newsome when he says that he is definitely no running for President in 2024? Oddly enough, Dave does. because really, who would even want to be President in 2025?
