In the latest episode of What the Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod tackle a claim that has stirred up conservatives and independents alike: President Trump’s assertion that “nobody cares” about Jeffrey Epstein and the files tied to his client list.
The hosts open with some trademark humor and a recap of personal health woes and beachside birthday pancakes, but quickly pivot into a conversation that cuts straight to the moral heart of the matter. For a president to say the public is disinterested in something as serious as the Epstein investigation is, according to Rabbi Dave, not just tone-deaf—it is dangerous.
This episode explores the broader philosophical and political implications of that statement. The duo questions what it truly means for a leader to say “nobody cares,” and what it reveals about public accountability, transparency, and the duty of those in power. They reflect on the moral imperative to pursue justice, particularly when vulnerable victims and elite predators are involved. Referencing Aristotle, John Adams, and the foundational ideas of the republic, the show becomes a full-throated defense of the idea that justice cannot be dismissed or ignored, regardless of political inconvenience.
Yet, in true What the Frock? fashion, the show doesn’t stay in the heavy shadows for long. Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod lighten things up with their unexpected enthusiasm for Major League Cricket. What began as idle channel surfing has now become a full-blown obsession. With Cricket 24 downloaded and Willow TV subscriptions in hand, the two discuss how they’ve become die-hard fans of the Seattle Orcas and are slowly decoding cricket terminology with help from their AI assistant.
To add to the fun, they brainstormed fictional sponsors for their dream Sunday pub cricket side. Among the tongue-in-cheek favorites are Blessed Ales, Shofar Wireless, Saint Peter’s Wicket Gates, and the unforgettable GuiltTrip Airways—”Fly Kosher, Arrive Contrite.”
From the weighty subject of justice and public trust to the absurd joy of learning cricket in middle age, this episode reflects everything What the Frock? has become known for—honest conversation, good humor, and a refusal to settle for apathy.
Listeners are invited to tune in, reflect, laugh, and remember that civic virtue begins with caring about the things others would rather forget.
