WTF - The 150-Year Question

This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod tackle one of the most fascinating questions of the modern age: if medical science continues advancing at its current pace, how long should we expect to live, and would we even want to? What begins as a conversation about longevity quickly turns into a thoughtful exploration of purpose, legacy, aging, faith, technology, and the changing world around us. Along the way, the discussion moves from deeply personal reflections to broader questions about society, medicine, and what it means to live a meaningful life. The episode also ventures into some surprising territory. Dave shares a military story that raises questions about faith, identity, and tradition. The conversation examines how institutions adapt to a changing culture and why seemingly small policy decisions can spark unexpectedly passionate reactions. As always, there are detours. A discussion about sports fandom takes an unexpected historical turn, leading to one of Dave's favorite unsolved mysteries. There are stories from the Navy, reflections on family, observations about modern culture, and more than a few moments of humor that only What The Frock? could produce. The episode wraps up with a lighthearted debate that may permanently change the way you think about a famous science fiction film. Whether you come for the philosophy, the history, the theology, or the laughs, this week's conversation offers a little bit of everything. Join Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod for another wide-ranging journey through the ideas, stories, and questions that make life interesting. Just be prepared to leave with a few new things to think about.
