    American independence was declared in the summer of 1776. Whether the new nation could survive long enough to make that declaration mean anything was another matter entirely. By the autumn of that year, George Washington's Continental Army had suffered a succession of defeats around New York. The British had the larger army, the Royal Navy controlled the surrounding waters, and General William Howe repeatedly maneuvered to trap Washington and destroy his army. At several critical moments, one largely forgotten Massachusetts officer helped make sure that didn't happen. His name was John Glover. Glover commanded the famous Marblehead Regiment, a remarkable collection of sailors, fishermen, ship captains, Black soldiers, Native Americans, and other Massachusetts men whose experience on the water made them unlike almost any other regiment in Washington's army. When Washington found himself trapped after the disastrous Battle of Long Island, Glover's men helped ferry thousands of Continental soldiers across the East River under cover of darkness and fog. Washington's army escaped. Seven weeks later, Glover was called upon again. At Pell's Point, roughly 750 Americans found themselves facing thousands of advancing British and Hessian troops. Glover couldn't defeat them. Instead, he used the stone walls of the Westchester countryside to create a defense in depth, forcing the British to deploy, attack, reorganize, and advance repeatedly. He was buying Washington something more valuable than territory. He was buying time. In this episode of Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, we follow John Glover from the evacuation of Brooklyn to the fighting at Pell's Point and the road toward White Plains. We also connect his story with Benedict Arnold's stand at Valcour Island and examine one of the great strategic lessons of 1776. Washington didn't have to defeat the British Army. First, he had to make sure it didn't destroy his.

  • 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
