WTF - Fingering the Stone

This week on What The Frock?, the world proves once again that it cannot be left unattended for five minutes. Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod lace up their skates and wade into a week that includes American cricket triumph, Olympic scandal, auto-tuned halftime theatrics, AI paranoia, and a voter ID debate that somehow manages to be both deadly serious and deeply ridiculous. The United States T20 team pulls off wins that have us technically sitting near the top of a brutal group, which in sports terms means we are thrilled and cautiously bracing for reality at the same time. Meanwhile, the Winter Olympics serve up enough controversy to make even curling dramatic. A French judge’s scoring raises eyebrows. Canadian curlers are caught touching stones they absolutely should not be touching. Ice dancing becomes less about artistry and more about arithmetic. It is sport, politics, and human nature sliding across the same sheet of ice. From there, the conversation turns to the Superb Owl halftime show, engineered music, and the uncomfortable question of what is actually real anymore in an age of AI everything. Add in a headline-dominating kidnapping case and a spirited debate over identification laws, and you have one beautifully bizarre episode. Pour the coffee. This one gets weird fast.
