In this punchy, thought-provoking episode of What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod go full throttle into the swirling absurdities of modern media and the curious ways we wield the term “Hitler” in political debates. With their signature blend of satire and sharp insight, the duo unpacks the Atlantic’s recent portrayal of Trump, the perpetual application of Godwin’s Law, and the mass outrage over flimsy comparisons. Rabbi Dave tackles the issue with a fiery clarity, reminding us that equating political opponents to Nazis not only cheapens real historical horrors but also ignores reality.
Switching gears, they explore AI’s evolving role in creative industries and the inevitable disruption in radio broadcasting. Both hosts share how AI influences their own projects, from podcast production to research support, all while asking: at what point does technology cross into unsettling territory?
As Halloween nears, they close with a fun look at the holiday’s origins, debating whether we can thank medieval Christians or Celtic pagans for the festivities. And just when you think you’ve heard it all, Rabbi Dave gives us the lowdown on unique Halloween “treats” like Utah’s infamous potato doughnuts (spudnuts!). Overall, it’s an episode packed with humor, wit, and a healthy dose of skepticism—everything we love from What the Frock?.
