No Kings, Just Beef, Bribes & Ballrooms

This week on The Final Word, the streets are speaking and the message is loud: No Kings. From Paris to Pittsburgh, citizens are mobilizing like it’s a global Beyoncé tour—but instead of glitter, it’s righteous rage and cardboard signs that slap.Then we get into the man Trump pardoned for his January 6th role—who allegedly turned around and threatened to kill House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. So much for rehabilitation. It’s giving “I learned nothing” energy.Meanwhile, Trump wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million for investigating him. Sir, you are not a contestant on Shark Tank. You don’t get reimbursed for being shady.In North Carolina, Republican lawmakers drew a new congressional map so crooked it needs a chiropractor. And in farm country, GOP senators are calling Trump’s plan to import Argentine beef a betrayal of “America First.” Spoiler: the cows are confused, and so are we.Also, the White House says there are “no plans” for Trump to meet Putin “in the immediate future.” Translation: they’re waiting for the right lighting and a fresh can of hairspray.And finally, the Treasury Department told staff not to share pics of the East Wing demolition or Trump’s new privately funded bribe shack/ballroom. Because nothing says transparency like “don’t post the evidence.”Tune in, flannel up, and get your side-eye ready—because this week, the final word is: We see you. And we brought receipts.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week?? Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we ask the question nobody else will: What’s wrong with “No Kings”? Nothing—except it needs a movement, a soundtrack, and maybe a few indictments. We dive into David Brooks’ piece, America Needs a Mass Movement, and honey, we agree—but not the kind that comes with merch and a memo.Then we get into Kash Patel: Did he ruin the FBI, or just pull back the curtain on a mess that was already giving “deep state but make it petty”?Meanwhile, the U.S. is out here attacking Colombian rebel boats like it’s a Bond movie—right as Trump cuts aid. Coincidence? Or just another episode of Dictator Cosplay: Global Edition?And finally, we bring our investigative masterpiece The Mindful Thief to the Louvre heist. What went wrong? Who got played? And why does it feel like Ocean’s Eleven meets Oops, All Diamonds?Grab your crown, throw it in the trash, and tune in—because Something Ain’t Right, and we’re naming names.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is fired up and breaking down the latest episode of “What Fresh Hell Is This?”First, Trump signed a memo—yes, a memo—giving his administration expanded powers to repurpose unspent federal funds. We must’ve missed the part of the Constitution where laws get rewritten via sticky note.Then, as the government shutdown drags into its third week, Trump’s threatening to permanently cut more “Democrat programs.” Translation: if you need help, he’s not here for it.Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is out here sharpening its scissors to snip the last threads of the Voting Rights Act. Because apparently voting is just too democratic.Over at the Pentagon, they tried to roll out a fascistic press policy, and nearly every major news outlet said “nah.” When Fox News is giving side-eye, you know it’s bad.And in the “Sir, this is a Wendy’s” category, Trump is whining about his Time magazine cover photo. Because nothing says presidential like pouting over lighting and angles.Oh—and just to round out the horror show, the administration is floating changes to immigration policy that would favor white people. Yep. That’s not a dog whistle—it’s a foghorn.Frances and Angela are here to drag the madness, uplift the truth, and give you The Final Word on a week that proves democracy is hanging on by a thread—and that thread is rolling its eyes.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is coming in HOT because the chaos is nonstop and the nonsense is next-level.First up—have y’all seen Trump lately? He’s mad about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, posting after-midnight ramblings that look like a cry for help wrapped in a typo, and making mysterious trips to Walter Reed that got us side-eyeing harder than ever. The vibes? Off. The spelling? Worse. The concern? HIGH.Then, in a plot twist no one saw coming, Marjorie Taylor Greene just broke ranks with Trump’s GOP and decided she’s living on Earth One now. Yes, that MTG. We don’t know what timeline we’re in, but it’s giving glitch in the simulation.Meanwhile, a Rutgers professor targeted by MAGA says “someone” canceled his flight. We’re not saying it’s a conspiracy, but we’re also not not saying it’s a conspiracy.And just when you thought it couldn’t get wilder—scientists are out here proposing an experiment that could end all life. Or maybe it won’t. But they wanna try it anyway. Because apparently curiosity now comes with a side of existential dread.We are breaking it all down with the energy, the receipts, and the righteous rage you need to survive another week on this spinning ball of foolishness. Because when the Nobel’s missing, MTG’s lucid, and science is flirting with extinction... Something Ain’t Right.Our Sponsors:* Check out Bioma Health and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: https://gobioma.com/FRANGELA* Check out CBDfx and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: https://cbdfx.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out PharmaNutra and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

First up, Trump “floated” invoking the Insurrection Act—because apparently court orders are just suggestions now. He wants to deploy the National Guard to Democratic cities like it’s a game of Risk, and Oregon Republicans are out here posting fake images to hype it up. Photoshop and foolishness, y’all.Then we check in with Attorney General Pam Bondi, who showed up to a Senate hearing and gave nothing but insults and sneers. No answers, no accountability—just full-on Real Housewives energy.Meanwhile, the Trump administration is planning to withhold back pay from furloughed federal workers after the shutdown ends. Because nothing says “thank you for working without pay” like... not paying them.And speaking of the shutdown, flight delays are stacking up nationwide. Air traffic controllers are short-staffed, unpaid, and still keeping planes in the sky while the government plays chicken with basic services.And just when you thought it couldn’t get more absurd—The White House is hosting a UFC fight for Trump’s 80th birthday. That’s right. A cage match. At the people’s house. We. Can’t. Even.Frances and Angela are here to laugh through the madness, drag the nonsense, and give you The Final Word on a week that proves once again: reality is broken, and we’re just living in it.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Frangela is on FIRE this week, and Something Ain’t Right is bringing the heat because the chaos is coast-to-coast and coded in all kinds of wrong.First up, we dive into the mess in Chicago, where ICE and federal agents are out here harassing, intimidating, and allegedly assaulting law-abiding citizens—especially people of color. It’s not enforcement, it’s terror tactics. And we’re not staying silent.Then we ask: what’s really up with that $20 billion financial package for Argentina? Turns out Argentina took the check and ran—straight to China. They cut the U.S. out of the soybean deal, and American farmers are left holding the empty bag. That’s what happens when diplomacy turns into dysfunction.Next, we’re apparently competing with AI actors now. Meet Tilly Norwood, a fully artificial “performer” seeking Hollywood representation. So not only are jobs disappearing, but now we’re auditioning against code? Somebody unplug this nonsense.And finally, Trump’s speech in front of military leaders was a masterclass in fear-mongering and confusion. It didn’t inspire—it alarmed. The room was tense, the message was murky, and the concern was real.Frances and Angela are here to drag the madness, uplift the truth, and remind you that when the world’s upside down, Something Ain’t Right is the place to flip it back. Let’s go.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week?? Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

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??

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??

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??

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??
