This week on The Final Word, we tackle a buffet of chaos that’s equal parts baffling and infuriating. First, we pretend to be surprised as Trump once again reverses course, this time on firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell and those oh-so-effective Chinese tariffs. Consistency is for losers, apparently.
Speaking of meltdowns, Elon Musk and the Treasury Secretary reportedly got into a shouting match in the West Wing and had to be separated...
This week on Something Ain’t Right, we cast a skeptical gaze at some of the world’s most baffling headlines, starting with the women reportedly being paid to expand Elon Musk’s ever-growing legion of offspring. Is this philanthropy, a futuristic dystopia, or just Musk being Musk? The side-eye is strong with this one.
Next, we dissect the grand return of ’90s magic bad boy David Blaine in David Blaine: Do Not Attempt. A show with a w...
Sometimes the power goes out and you don't get to record! So please enjoy this episode from November. There are some all-time contenders in this one!
Get ready for a laughter-packed episode of Idiot of the Week! This week, we present a dazzling lineup of candidates vying for the coveted title of our favorite fool. Will it be the German pizzeria caught in a scandal for allegedly serving sides of cocaine with their slices? Or per...
This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the latest batch of baffling headlines, starting with Elon Musk’s new passion project: pronatalism. Because when you’re a billionaire, why not dabble in regressive ideologies between rocket launches? Next, we tackle the Amish e-bike debate—are they the eco-friendly savior we’ve been waiting for, or just chaos on two wheels? Spoiler alert: it’s complicated.
Feeling like a laugh? The Tr...
This week on Idiot of the Week, we bring you a lineup of contenders so jaw-droppingly ridiculous, you’ll question how humanity has made it this far.
First, we investigate how a Texas middle school managed to turn a classroom into a tattoo parlor—and not the cool kind. With one shared needle among students, it’s a truly horrifying tale of poor decisions and even worse health education.
Next, a Texas man...
This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela unravel the tangled mess that is Trump’s tariff “strategy”—a term we use loosely, because “strategy” implies some semblance of planning. China, channeling Maya Angelou’s wisdom, has decided to believe Trump the first time and raised tariffs on all U.S. imports to a staggering 84%. It’s less “trade war” and more “trade apocalypse.”
Meanwhile, House Republicans continue their “kiss the r...
This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the kind of stories that make you question whether reality is just a poorly written sitcom. First up, we tackle the bizarre saga of “demonic” sea lions. Are they misunderstood marine mammals or victims of a PR campaign gone horribly wrong? Either way, someone call their lawyer—there’s a class action defamation suit waiting to happen.
Next, in a ruling that’s equal parts baffling and h...
This week on Idiot of the Week, the competition for the coveted crown of sheer, unparalleled foolishness is fiercer than ever—and believe me, the bar is subterranean.
First up, we have a Memphis man who’s redefined “man’s best friend” by claiming he wasshot by his dog. Yes, as if Fido didn’t already have enough on his plate, he’s now allegedly packing heat.
Next in line, McLaurine Pinover, a Hufflepuff insider and so-called fashion i...
This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela wade through the swamp of absurdity, hypocrisy, and occasional existential dread that is modern politics. First, they tackle the Trump administration’s claim that deporting Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national with protected status since 2019, was merely an “administrative error.” Because nothing says “oopsie” like putting them in a supermax prison in El Salvador.
In this week’s episode of Something Ain’t Right, we delve into the bizarre, the absurd, and the downright infuriating—because apparently, the world is not content with just being mildly confusing.
We know there's confusion surrounding where one can bring a wild raccoon, but we ask, is there ANY place it's okay for parents to unleash their feral spawn on an unsuspecting public. And finally, Disney earns the serious side-eye f...
This week on Idiot of the Week, the race for the title of world’s dumbest is so tight, it’s practically a photo finish—except the contestants are sprinting backward into a wall.
First up, we have a drunk tourist who managed to get himself banned from Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain. Nothing says "holiday adventure" like getting a lifetime ban!
Next, a surgeon who thought, “You know what would really spice up my medical career? P...
This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of absurdity, incompetence, and occasional glimmers of hope that define modern politics. First up, they tackle the jaw-dropping revelation that Trump’s national security officials, the Vice President, and others were casually discussing top-secret intelligence in an unsecured Signal group chat. Because apparently, safeguarding national sec...
This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frances and Angela serve up a buffet of chaos, absurdity, and the kind of side-eye that could power a wind turbine. First, they dissect the new docu-drama series Good American Family, which critics say might be less “good” and more “American dumpster fire.” The shocking case of Natalia Grace takes center stage, and let’s just say, this series might be adding fuel t...

In this episode, Frances and Angela dive deep into the political landscape, dissecting Trump's Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education. They explore the implications of this move and what it means for the future of education in America. The discussion doesn't stop there—Frances and Angela also tackle the ongoing Trump/Musk assault on the Trans community, higher education, and immigrants. It's a powerful...
This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of absurdity that is modern life. First up, they’re throwing some serious side-eye at nine Senate Democrats—because apparently, being disappointing is bipartisan now. Then, they tackle the eternal question: if Elon Musk tweets like a white nationalist and salutes like a Nazi, why are we still tiptoeing around calling him one? Spoiler aler...
Oh honey, buckle up and grab your tea, because this week’s episode of Idiot of the Week is serving up a buffet of wrong! Will the crown go to the Southwest Airlines diva who turned turbulence into a tantrum? Or perhaps the three-wheeled daredevil from West Babylon, redefining reckless with a side of audacity? Let’s not forget the Louisiana legend who thought a “Nigerian Prince” scam was a retirement plan, or the Georgia gal who spe...
Welcome to The Final Word, where Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of political absurdity. This week, they dissect the Republican spending bill—a legislative Hail Mary to dodge a government shutdown—and the antics of the so-called 'Department of Government Efficiency' (spoiler: it’s neither efficient nor a department). Then, they unravel the chaos of Trump’s tariffs, which are about as well-thought-...
On this week’s Something Ain’t Right, we’re diving into the chaos that’s got us all saying, “Wait, what?!” First up, we’re unpacking the FAFO phenomenon—because when people find out, they really do find out. But the real kicker? Why are people still standing behind Trump, even after he’s firing them left and right? Like, literally firing them... is it us? We’re here to break it all down. Then, the Department of Homeland Security ha...
Hold on to your wigs, darling, because this week on Idiot of the Week, we're serving up a smorgasbord of stupidity that's beyond belief. First up, we’ve got a family in Australia who found themselves playing house to 102 venomous snakes. But the real question is—who’s the bigger threat? The slithering reptiles or the humans who thought it was okay to live with them?
Then, let’s glide into the absurd with a 79-year-old ice sk...
