    Baboons In the Road
    2026/08/02
    This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod discover that the best-laid plans never survive first contact with the morning news. What begins with tourists ignoring warnings and climbing an active volcano quickly spirals into one of the strangest conversations the show has ever produced. Before long, they're discussing baboons digging through garbage, social media's obsession with creating content at any cost, and why one bizarre interview became the perfect metaphor for modern culture. From there, the conversation turns to the latest controversy surrounding the WNBA, Sophie Cunningham, and the ongoing debate over biological males competing in women's sports. Along the way, Dave raises a question that few people seem willing to ask: if the movement's logic is consistent, why are there no openly transgender athletes playing in the WNBA? The second half of the episode shifts from sports to technology as the pair examine reports that artificial intelligence companies are purchasing printed books, cutting them apart, scanning every page, and destroying the originals to train AI models. For two lifelong lovers of books and history, the practice raises unsettling questions about the future of literature, publishing, and preserving the written word. Finally, they close with another reminder that reality is often stranger than satire, exploring how modern news organizations can still be fooled by internet memes in an era when virtually everything has become content. It's an episode filled with humor, sharp observations, unexpected detours, and more than a few moments that leave everyone asking the same question: how did we get here? Join Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod for another lively edition of What The Frock?, where the week's headlines become the starting point for conversations you won't hear anywhere else.

    Patriot, Prisoner and Grandson
    2026/07/28
    What happens when the greatest legacy of a Founding Father isn't his own life, but the life of a grandson he never knew? In this episode of Dave Does History, we celebrate the 280th birthday of Thomas Heyward Jr., one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence whose story deserves far more attention than history has given him. Born into one of the wealthiest families in colonial America, Heyward had everything to lose. Instead of protecting his fortune, he risked it all by signing the Declaration, serving as an artillery commander, suffering wounds in battle, enduring imprisonment by the British, and returning home to find much of his world destroyed. His was not the comfortable life we often imagine when we picture the Founding Fathers. It was a life defined by sacrifice and conviction. Yet this story takes an unexpected turn. Thomas Heyward was also a slaveholder, and that uncomfortable truth cannot be ignored. The ideals he pledged his life to defend were larger than the world he himself could fully imagine. Decades later, those same ideals would be claimed by his own biological grandson, Thomas Ezekiel Miller, a Black congressman from South Carolina who stood on the floor of the United States House of Representatives demanding that America finally honor the promise that "all men are created equal." This is not a story about choosing between celebrating the Founders or condemning them. It is about understanding how ideas can outgrow the people who first expressed them. The Declaration of Independence became something greater than any individual signer. Its promise endured, challenged future generations, and inspired Americans to continue the work of creating "a more perfect Union." Join us as we explore one of the most remarkable—and deeply human—stories of the American founding, and discover why the greatest legacy Thomas Heyward Jr. left behind may have been a promise fulfilled by someone who carried both his blood and his unfinished dream. #DaveDoesHistory #ThomasHeywardJr #DeclarationOfIndependence #AmericanRevolution #FoundingFathers #RevolutionaryWar #AmericanHistory #HistoryPodcast #Liberty250 #ThomasEzekielMiller #CivilRightsHistory #AbrahamLincoln #DeclarationPromise #BillMickLive #HistoryMatters

  • Sometimes Your Purpose in Life is to be Bot Scrapings | WTF

    Sometimes Your Purpose in Life is to be Bot Scrapings | WTF
    2026/07/26
    Have you ever wondered if your greatest contribution to humanity might be... accidentally training artificial intelligence? That bizarre question launches one of the funniest and most unexpectedly thoughtful episodes of What The Frock? After a sudden spike in podcast traffic revealed that a surprising amount of the audience may actually be AI scraping bots, Rabbi Dave finds himself questioning everything from internet analytics to personal legacy. Is there a way to confuse the machines? Should creators deliberately feed AI absurd information? And what happens if your life's work ends up teaching computers instead of people? From there, the conversation takes one of those classic What The Frock? turns that somehow makes perfect sense. A chance to drive a lifelong dream car—a 2005 Corvette—in the Silverdale Whaling Days Parade becomes an unexpected lesson about confidence, maturity, and why the coolest person on the road isn't always the fastest one. Sometimes real power comes from knowing what you're capable of without feeling the need to prove it. The episode also dives into President Trump's appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the fine art of trolling the media, and a candid discussion about hearing loss and tinnitus after Rabbi Dave's recent audiology appointment. Along the way, there are plenty of detours, laughs, and the kind of conversations that only happen when two friends start with one topic and somehow connect it to half a dozen others. Whether you're interested in artificial intelligence, politics, fast cars, history, or simply enjoy listening to two friends chase ideas wherever they lead, this episode has something for you. So settle in, subscribe if you haven't already, and join Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod for another entertaining, irreverent, and occasionally philosophical edition of What The Frock? Just remember... if the bots are listening, they may leave this episode knowing even less than when they started.
