What The Frock

This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave is still praying for the Exodus—of a 6mm kidney stone—and Friar Rod is on a sacred pilgrimage to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where he discovered two things that shook him to his core: a donut so divine it nearly triggered a spiritual awakening… and a MAGA hat that was, alas, Made in China.

That’s right, folks. We’re covering the full range of American experience here: pain, pastry, and political paradoxes.

Rod opens the show recounting his visit to the famed Donut Friar—a place where cinnamon meets sanctity and Bavarian cream meets biblical proportions. What follows is not just a review, but a full-blown donut sermon, complete with scripture from the Book of Carbohydrates. It’s sugar-drenched theology, and it will leave you wondering why your house of worship doesn’t serve crullers during services.

Meanwhile, Dave continues his journey through the valley of medical bureaucracy, navigating X-rays, misread scans, and the eternal mystery of whether the stone has actually passed—or is simply biding its time like a spiteful Pharaoh.

We also tackle Hollywood’s latest attempt to resurrect the absurd: the upcoming Naked Gun reboot, featuring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr. Will it match Leslie Nielsen’s legendary deadpan glory? Or is this one better saved for a streaming session under the influence of cranberry juice and mild sedation? We weigh the odds (and the ticket prices).

And finally, we dip a frocked toe into politics as we talk tariffs, cheap red hats, and the magic trick where people reverse their lifelong positions because of who’s making the argument. (Spoiler: If your outrage depends on the nameplate, maybe it’s not that principled.)

So grab your favorite donut, brace your kidneys, and join us for an episode filled with sugar, satire, and just enough spiritual reflection to keep it kosher. This one’s glazed, confused, and thoroughly fried.
