In this scorching episode of What The Frock?, titled Frockenheit 451, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod strike the match on a world increasingly allergic to free thought. Kicking things off with a curious domestic moment—Dave’s wife, a night-shift nurse, is unaware of major world events—the duo explores how political disengagement and echo chambers have become survival tactics in a polarized age.

From the deadly political violence in Minnesota to media silence on left-wing extremism, the episode doesn’t flinch. The hosts tackle the dangerous rise of “approved phrases,” groupthink, and the weaponization of language, drawing unsettling parallels to Fahrenheit 451 and 1984.

They also dive into the geopolitical tinderbox between Israel and Iran, the ideological delusions of Western activists in Gaza, and the strange cultural black hole that is Blue Sky’s leftist echo chamber. It’s thoughtful, fiery, and grimly funny—like a torchlit stroll through a banned-book bonfire.

If you're tired of pretending that Orwell was a how-to manual and not a warning, this is your episode. Pull up a chair by the flames. Just don't ask where the firemen are.

What The Frock?—because someone has to say it.
