Auld Lang Syne

This episode of What the Frock? is not comfortable, and it is not meant to be. It is the kind of conversation that sits with you like cold air in a warm room and refuses to leave quietly. Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod turn their attention to a story that should have been impossible to ignore and yet somehow was. A story of missing money, empty buildings, unanswered questions, and a public asked to look away for its own good.

There are no villains twirling mustaches here, just systems that learned how to stop asking questions and people who learned that silence pays. Along the way, the conversation wanders as it always does, through memory, media failure, moral risk, and the dangerous habit of confusing discomfort with wrongdoing. This is not about outrage for its own sake. It is about accountability, about trust, and about what happens when truth becomes too inconvenient to report.

Pour a cup of coffee. Lean in. Some stories demand it.
