Hungarian Goulash

Hungarian Goulash

Mi történik, amikor Rabbi Dave felfedezi, hogy Magyarország talán a podcast-hallgatók ígéret földje? Egy teljes epizód, amelyben teljes szívvel öleljük magunkhoz új magyar közönségünket – egy paprikásan fűszerezett ténylistával fűszerezve.

Ezen a héten a What The Frock? adásában a műsor azzal a szent felismeréssel indul, hogy a 30 év alatti magyarok kétharmada rendszeres podcast-fogyasztó. Ez bőven elég ok arra, hogy házigazdáink bátran kelet felé forduljanak, és elkezdjenek barátkozni a Rubik-kocka, a pálinka és a konzervatív hallgatók hazájával. Természetesen.


 What happens when Rabbi Dave discovers that Hungary might just be the promised land of podcast listeners? A full episode devoted to embracing our new Hungarian audience, one paprika-powered fact at a time.

This week on What The Frock?, the show opens with the blessed realization that two-thirds of Hungarians under 30 are podcast devotees. That’s more than enough reason for our hosts to pivot boldly eastward and start cozying up to the land of Rubik’s Cubes, pálinka, and politically conservative listeners. Naturally.

The boys dive right in with their signature blend of irreverence and affection, listing off a series of absurdly lovable facts about Hungary—like the sacred avoidance of beer glass clinking (Austrian trauma, 1849), or the glorious insanity of Pálinka, a fruit brandy so potent it could launch satellites and cure the common cold.

You’ll also hear about Budapest’s statue of “The Fat Policeman” (belly rubs for luck), the linguistic dangers of conjugating “I love you” incorrectly, and the deeply moving Hungarian water polo match in 1956 where things got so intense, it almost qualified as an unofficial war.

Naturally, the pair manage to tie it all back to America, diabetes management, AI Jesus, dyeing potatoes for Easter (seriously?), and even the ethics of Liam Neeson stepping into the shoes of Frank Drebin. Along the way, you’ll hear impassioned debates about proper goulash recipes, submarine politics, and the frightening idea that our military may be slipping out of civilian control faster than a greased goose on Parliament’s marble floors.

Oh, and Rabbi Dave found Hungarian proverbs. Gems like “Many geese can defeat a pig” and “You can’t make bacon out of a dog” now live permanently in the What The Frock lexicon.

So whether you’re a longtime listener from Florida or a new fan tuning in from Buda, Pest, or somewhere in between, this episode is your official invitation to the congregation. Pull up a steaming bowl of goulash, raise a glass of rocket fuel (just not a beer), and enjoy the absurd sanctity that is What The Frock?
