    Small Talk
    2026/01/25
    Welcome to What The Frock?, the show that starts with the weather and somehow ends up questioning the collapse of modern thought. In this episode, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod do what polite society pretends to hate and secretly loves. They make small talk. About cold snaps, fog, snow, Florida apologies, and why everyone asks how you are without wanting an answer. But do not be fooled. The weather is just the doorway. Very quickly, the conversation turns to what has changed in us. Short attention spans. Endless scrolling. Movies that have to explain themselves every ten minutes. News cycles that replace thinking with reacting. Narratives that form before facts even show up. Along the way, Netflix gets blamed, Star Trek gets defended, gravity allegedly shuts off on August 12, 2026, and someone tries to sell you anti gravity supplements. It is funny. It is skeptical. It is unapologetically old school. Hold on to your hat. This is What The Frock?

    Silence at Truk
    2026/01/24
    On a January morning in nineteen forty four, a small town in Ohio learned how the war really worked. Not through headlines about victory, but through a quiet notice. A sailor was missing. No details. No explanation. Just absence. That sailor had been aboard USS Corvina. Corvina was new, capable, and sent on her first war patrol into some of the most dangerous water on earth. She never came back. Eighty two men went down with her in a single night south of Truk Lagoon. In the vast arithmetic of the Pacific War, Corvina occupies a narrow line. She was the only American submarine lost to an enemy submarine in World War Two. That fact matters, but it is not the heart of the story. This is not about rarity. It is about people, machinery, chance, and silence. About what the ocean takes, and what history remembers. This is the story of USS Corvina, and the crew that remains on Eternal Patrol.

  • History and the Supreme Court

    History and the Supreme Court
    2026/01/22
    I do not usually stop what I am doing to listen to Supreme Court oral arguments. That is lawyer country. Necessary work, important work, but not usually where historians spend their time. But this week, something in one of those arguments stopped me cold. Not because of the outcome, which we do not yet know. Not because of the modern policy question involved. But because of how history was used. Or more precisely, how it was handled. During arguments over a Hawaii firearms law, attorneys defending the statute reached back into the Reconstruction era and cited the post Civil War Black Codes as historical precedent. Laws written in 1865 and 1866 to control, restrict, and terrorize newly freed Black Americans. Laws so abusive that they triggered the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Fourteenth Amendment itself. Those laws were presented, in the Supreme Court of the United States, as examples of acceptable historical regulation. If you are not a historian of Reconstruction, that might sound odd. If you are, it should feel deeply unsettling. This episode is not about whether Hawaii’s law is right or wrong. It is not about modern politics. It is about how history works, what it is for, and what happens when we treat the past as a collection of citations instead of a story with meaning. Because some laws are precedents. And some laws are warnings.
