When Tigers Would Smoke is an episode that’s equal parts insightful, irreverent, and downright quirky. Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod bring their signature mix of humor and sharp commentary to this week’s biggest headlines, baffling mysteries, and some truly oddball science. The result? A rollercoaster ride through the absurdities of modern life, politics, and even predatory squirrels.

Kicking things off with the mysterious case of the USS Gettysburg and a downed F/A-18, the duo explores conspiracy theories, media spin, and why we’re more inclined than ever to distrust official explanations. From there, they dive into the political circus of a 1,500-page continuing resolution, complete with secret funding, public meltdowns, and the ever-looming specter of government shutdowns. Along the way, they ponder how trust in leadership has crumbled since “the days when tigers would smoke,” a delightful Korean proverb that becomes a recurring theme.

But it’s not all politics! Friar Rod reveals that vegetarian ground squirrels in California have gone rogue, hunting voles with surprising skill. Meanwhile, Rabbi Dave connects the dots between primordial black holes and the mystery of disappearing socks, offering a cosmic twist on domestic frustrations.

With biting wit and thought-provoking takes, this episode goes beyond the headlines to ask big questions about trust, technology, and the strange times we live in. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the insights, or just the delightful chaos, What The Frock? delivers. Don’t miss this hilarious and illuminating exploration of a world that feels stranger than fiction.
