What The Frock

Welcome to another irreverent, thought-provoking, and occasionally eyebrow-raising episode of What the Frock?, where Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod take a chainsaw to the sacred trees of modern absurdity. This week, our fearless hosts dive into a smorgasbord of political and cultural insanity, with a special focus on the mind-boggling use of taxpayer money for, shall we say, unique purposes.

The episode kicks off with Rabbi Dave’s reluctant foray into Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a series he had long resisted but finally gave a shot—only to confirm his long-held suspicion that it’s not quite the original series (and anyone who says otherwise was probably born in the 1980s or is under the influence of questionable substances). But before they get too lost in the final frontier, the duo pivots to the topic of the week: the ever-expanding insanity of government spending, media manipulation, and the sheer comedic tragedy of modern politics.

Enter Doge—no, not the meme, but the newly revealed force within the federal government that’s got the Deep State howling like a wounded hyena. As mainstream media outlets clutch their pearls over budget cuts to sacred cows like taxpayer-funded DEI programs and Sesame Street in Iraq, What the Frock? takes a closer look at just how much of our hard-earned money has been funneled into mind-numbing boondoggles.

Speaking of absurd spending, the state of Washington—never one to be outdone—has been caught red-handed funding a, let’s call it a “gentleman’s club,” where government grants have been used to subsidize group recreational activities of a deeply personal nature. The hosts dissect the absurdity of public money going toward such endeavors while roads crumble and budgets implode.

And just when you think California has reached peak lunacy, the state legislature proves that yes, there’s always room for more. In a move that straddles the line between satire and sheer government waste, a new bill seeks to designate Bigfoot as the state’s official cryptid. Yes, at a time when California’s economy is on life support, lawmakers are taking a stand for Sasquatch. Because, you know, priorities.

From military discipline (or lack thereof) to Netflix’s eerily well-timed programming about an aging, cognitively impaired president stepping down, Dave and Rod bring their signature mix of humor, history, and righteous indignation to bear on a world gone mad.

Buckle up, folks—this is What the Frock? at its finest.
