He amusingly recounts how two men in Germany turned a tongue twister about a woman named Barbara and her renowned rhubarb pie into a viral hit, complete with millions of views and numerous dance copies. This quirky tale sets a light-hearted tone for the episode. Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod discuss the addictive nature of social media platforms like Instagram, which, according to Dave, has morphed into a version of TikTok. They humorously criticize their own late-night scrolling habits, underscoring the pervasive impact of these digital distractions.

This segment reveals the confusion surrounding various beauty pageants and the impact of misinformation. Shifting to politics, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod satirically analyze a video of President Joe Biden at the G7 summit. They debate whether Biden’s actions in the video indicate dementia or are simply misinterpreted moments, highlighting the polarized nature of political discourse.
