Frangela: The Final Word

Shutdowns, Shake-Ups, and the Comedy Sellout

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is here to break down the madness with the clarity, sass, and side-eye you need to survive this hostile government takeover.First off—yes, the U.S. government is closed. Trump and the GOP refused to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, and Democrats finally said “enough.” We unpack what a shutdown really means, what it could mean, and what Trump wants it to mean (spoiler: it’s not good).Then, in a move that’s as petty as it is unethical, the Trump administration directed federal employees to blame Democrats for the shutdown—using taxpayer-funded websites. That’s your money being used to gaslight you. Cute.Meanwhile, the job market took a nosedive: 32,000 jobs cut in September, and August’s “gain” of 54,000 was revised to a loss of 3,000. We’re calling it what it is—economic whiplash with a side of spin.Next, Trump signed an executive order pledging a U.S. security guarantee to Qatar after Israel’s strike in Doha targeting Hamas leaders. International diplomacy or is this the price of that plane? We’ve got thoughts.And then there’s Secretary of Crazy/Defense/War Pete Hegseth, who gathered hundreds of top military leaders just to body shame, threaten, and bore them into oblivion. It’s giving insecure middle school bully with a budget.Finally, we take on the soulless participation of U.S. comedians in the inaugural Riyadh Comedy Festival—funded by the Saudi government. We love comedy, but not when it’s bought and sanitized by authoritarian regimes.Frances and Angela are bringing the truth, the fire, and the final word—because when the government’s closed and the circus is in town, somebody’s gotta keep the lights on.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Fair Housing Rollbacks, Fake Babies, and Ryder Cup Rage—We’re Tired | Something Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is over it. Like, deep sigh, long stare, “is this real life?” levels of over it.First up, the Trump administration is working overtime to roll back enforcement of fair housing laws. Because apparently, making it harder for people to live with dignity is the new national pastime. We break down the policy, the impact, and the audacity.Then, in a twist of global generosity that smells like selective compassion, the U.S. is ready to extend a financial lifeline to Argentina. Meanwhile, folks here are rationing insulin and dodging eviction notices. Make it make sense.Next, we ask the question no one wants to answer: why are people spending $8,000 on lifelike baby dolls called “reborns”? Is it therapy? Is it delusion? Is it just rich people being weird again? We investigate.And finally, the Ryder Cup turned into a showcase of fan ugliness that felt like a direct reflection of Trump’s all-caps America. Booing, brawling, and belligerence—because even golf isn’t safe from the nonsense.Tune in, because Something Ain’t Right—and we’re not pretending it is.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Deranged Diplomacy, Measles Madness, and the Tylenol Theory of Everything | The Final World

Welcome back to The Final Word, where Frances and Angela are holding it down on Earth One—because somebody has to make sense of this mess.We kick off with Donald Trump’s “deranged” performance at the United Nations General Assembly. It was less diplomacy, more open mic night at a conspiracy convention. From Ukraine maybe taking extra territory to science being whatever he feels—we’re unpacking the chaos, the cringe, and the consequences.Then we turn to the tragic shooting at a Dallas ICE field office, where one detainee was killed and two others critically wounded. It’s a horrifying reminder of the violence baked into our immigration system—and the silence around it is deafening.Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel is back on ABC after public pressure made Disney rethink his indefinite suspension. We all did that people! Take your bow!And in a blast from the viral past, measles cases in the U.S. just hit their highest levels since 1992. That’s right—anti-vax nonsense has officially brought us back to the nineties, and we are not amused.Also: Trump now claims Tylenol causes autism. Yes, you read that right. Apparently science is now based on vibes, and we’re all just living in his fever dream.Plus, your emails—smart, funny, and full of righteous rage. We read them, we love them, and we shout you out.Frangela’s got the truth, the tea, and the side-eye you need to survive another week on this spinning ball of foolishness. Buckle up, because The Final Word is here to drag the madness into the light.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Frangela Give The Global Side-Eye | Something Ain't Right

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is taking you on a world tour of wrongness—and asking why the biggest stories on the planet are getting buried like your cousin’s mixtape.First up, Gen Z in Nepal said “not today, patriarchy” and overthrew their government, installing the country’s first female Prime Minister. That’s historic, revolutionary, and somehow... barely a blip in the headlines. We see you, young people. And we salute you.Meanwhile, the civil war in Sudan has displaced 14 million people. Fourteen. Million. But where’s the coverage? Where’s the outrage? Where’s the humanity? Something ain’t right.Then we look at the U.K., Canada, and Australia—three major players who just recognized Palestine. That’s a seismic shift in global politics, and yet the U.S. media is acting like it’s just another Tuesday.And speaking of Tuesdays, President Trump just vowed to defend Poland and the Baltic states if Russia keeps escalating tensions. This, despite not being able to increase sanctions against Russia. So... we’re talking tough but walking soft? Don’t hold your breath, y’all.Frances and Angela are here to shine a light on the stories that matter, call out the silence, and drag the nonsense with love, laughter, and a whole lot of truth. Because when the world’s on fire and the news won’t tell you, Something Ain’t Right will.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Mushroom Hikes, Barbie Rides, and the Twerk Heard ’Round Staffordshire

This week on Idiot of the Week, the foolishness is so potent, we’re convinced these folks woke up and chose chaos. Frangela is here to crown the dumbest of the dumb, and trust us—this week’s contenders did not come to play.First up, four hikers in the Catskills decided to trip while tripping—on magic mushrooms. Spoiler alert: nature didn’t vibe with their vibe, and they had to be rescued. That’s not a spiritual journey, that’s a taxpayer-funded babysitting session.Then we head to British Columbia, where a man was ticketed for driving a pink Barbie Jeep while impaired. Sir, if you’re gonna break the law, at least do it in a vehicle that can hit 10 mph.Next, we meet a woman in Staffordshire who misunderstood “family fun day” and stripped down to her bra to twerk—for an hour. Ma’am, this was not Fun Day After Dark. There were toddlers. There were juice boxes. There were regrets.And finally, a scuba-suited man pulled off a robbery at a Disney Springs restaurant. That’s right—he came for the cash dressed like he was auditioning for Finding Nemo: The Heist. So, who will take home the crown of Idiot of the Week? Tune in as Frances and Angela break it all down. Because stupidity is forever, and Frangela is here to document it.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??
