  • Bean Soup | WTF

    Bean Soup | WTF
    2026/08/16
    Why does everything on the internet eventually become about us? This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod dive into Bean Soup Theory, the wonderfully simple idea that explains an astonishing amount of what happens on social media. Someone posts a recipe for bean soup, and instead of deciding whether they want bean soup, people start demanding substitutions, alterations, and entirely new recipes designed around their own tastes. Before long, somebody else's soup has become all about them. Sound familiar? The theory becomes the thread connecting three very different stories. First, Dave and Rod return to the troubling story of Cambridge professor Jason Arday. Following his resignation and sudden death, arguments over his academic record quickly became arguments over racism, DEI, institutional responsibility, politics, and who should be blamed. Everybody seems determined to stir something of their own into the pot. Then it's off to sea aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, where reports about an extraordinarily long deployment, shipboard conditions, food, and unhappy sailors have generated plenty of outrage ashore. Dave brings his own experience as a Navy submariner to the discussion, including powdered eggs, questionable meals, relentless cleaning, inspections, Navy chiefs, and the ancient sailor's tradition of complaining about absolutely everything. Finally, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese walks straight into the soup pot when a podcaster asks him to play "Shag, Marry, Date." He initially refuses, she keeps pushing, Kylie Minogue enters the conversation, and Australia gets another reason to argue on the internet. Three stories. One increasingly familiar human impulse: How can I make this about me? Grab a spoon. The bean soup is ready.

    The Polling Game
    2026/08/13
    Polls tell us who's ahead. Until they don't. Pollsters sample voters, weight responses, model turnout, account for undecideds, and then confidently tell us what Election Day is going to look like. There's just one problem: Election Day hasn't happened yet. There is only one poll that actually matters. It's the one where people show up, cast their ballots, and we count the votes. Everything before that is a prediction. Here’s the Thing… #HeresTheThing #Polling #Elections #Politics #PoliticalPolling

  • Benedict Arnold Saves The american Revolution

    Benedict Arnold Saves The american Revolution
    2026/08/11
    Most Americans know Benedict Arnold for one thing: treason. But that's only the final chapter of his story. Long before he became the most infamous traitor in American history, Arnold was one of George Washington's most daring and effective battlefield commanders. In the desperate autumn of 1776, with the Continental Army driven from New York and the failed invasion of Canada leaving the northern frontier exposed, the British believed they were only one campaign away from crushing the Revolution for good. Their plan was simple: control Lake Champlain, capture Albany, and cut New England off from the rest of the colonies. If they succeeded, American independence might never happen. This week on Dave Does History, we revisit the remarkable Battle of Valcour Island, where Benedict Arnold was handed an impossible assignment: build a navy from scratch, crew it with farmers and militiamen, and face the greatest naval power on Earth. Outgunned, outbuilt, and outnumbered, Arnold couldn't hope to win a conventional battle. Instead, he relied on bold tactics, local geography, and sheer determination to buy something the Revolution desperately needed: time. We'll explore the ingenious ambush behind Valcour Island, Arnold's daring nighttime escape through the British fleet, the dramatic running fight that followed, and why the destruction of his tiny fleet may have become one of the most important strategic defeats in American history. We'll also examine how the loss of Arnold's personal financial records during the campaign helped sow the seeds of the resentment that would eventually lead to his betrayal. Sometimes the battles that matter most aren't victories. Sometimes they simply buy enough time for history to change. The story of Valcour Island is one of those moments.
