Yep, you read that right. Tune in to find out which of these brilliant contenders earns the title of Idiot of the Week.

The SAVE Act, Postwar Gaza, and the Media's Reckoning Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of The Final Word, we delve into the alarming ramifications of the proposed SAVE Act, which, if passed, could become one of the most severe voter suppression laws in the nation. We explore how its implementation could stifle the fundamental right to vote for millions of Americans.

Next, we tackle the bizarre AI-generated video that former President Trump shared on Truth Social, depicting a postwar Gaza starring none other than Trump himself and President Musk. Spoiler alert: Palestinians are nowhere to be found in this vision of the future.

We also dig into the alleged growing unease, according to the mainstream media, among some Republican lawmakers over President Musk's aggressive dismantling of federal infrastructure. Is it us or is this alleged "balking" not as effective as say, voting against these outrageous and damaging policies and attacks?

Additionally, we scrutinize the dubious claims surrounding DOGE supposed cost-saving potential and reflect on the Trump administration's decisions to block access to news outlets like AP and HuffPo.

And finally, we dissect Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's provocative statement: "Anyone who thinks protests, lawsuits, and lawfare will deter President Trump must have been sleeping under a rock." What is "lawfare"? Did she mean, laws?????

All this and more on The Final Word. Tune in for an unfiltered look at the forces shaping our political landscape.

Something Ain't Right | Troubling Times Feb 26, 2025

Show notes

This week on Something Ain't Right, we’re diving into some seriously thought-provoking topics. First up, we’ll be debating whether a woman who’s asking for a bigger inheritance because she’s been her grandmother's caretaker is “monstrous” or just looking out for herself. Is it fair to ask for more, or does it cross a line?

Next, we explore an unconventional way to get out of a rut—forget vision boards and daily affirmations, maybe what you really need is a nemesis. How could a little competition light a fire under you and push you toward your goals?

And in the latest media shake-up, MSNBC has made some suspect moves by firing brown and black hosts, including Joy Reid and others. Rachel Maddow even called it “unnerving.” Why does this feel so wrong? What’s behind the changes?

Finally, we’ll honor the memory of 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo, who tragically took her life after being bullied over her family’s immigration status. This heartbreaking loss sheds light on the devastating effects of the MAGA attacks on immigrant communities.

As always, when something seems off, send it to us at frangela08@gmail.com, and we’ll get to the bottom of it together. Tune in for another eye-opening conversation with Frances and Angela!

Social Media Breaks, Hello Kitty's Identity Crisis & Shoes-Off Etiquette Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

This week on Something Ain't Right, we’re tackling the growing urge to take a “social media break.” What is it about these platforms that’s driving so many of us to step back—and is it really just about scrolling or something deeper? Then, we dive into the shocking news that Sanrio, the creator of Hello Kitty, is now trying to convince us that our beloved kitty is actually a little British girl—not a Japanese cat! How did we get here? And, because Frances can’t let anything slide, we’ve got her take on Megyn Kelly’s latest criticism of the Little House on the Prairie reboot. Trust us, you won’t believe where this one’s headed.

Finally, we’re getting personal. Is it wrong to ask your guests to take off their shoes when they come over? We’re putting this social etiquette question to the test and asking if it's time we reconsider our foot policies. Tune in for all this and more on the latest episode of Something Ain’t Right. Don’t forget to subscribe, share, and leave us a review—because we know something just ain’t right, and we’re here to talk about it!

Show notes

This week on Idiot of the Week, we’ve got an eclectic mix of mind-boggling blunders, and the competition for the coveted "Idiot of the Week" title is fierce. Will America finally learn to manage its fast food expectations, or will Louisville once again prove that anything can go wrong in the drive-thru?

Or perhaps the real star of the show is the French woman who sent a staggering $850,000 to AI Brad Pitt (because, sure, that’s what you do with your life savings)?

Oh, and let’s not forget the hunter who confused another hunter for a deer—yep, that’s a thing that happened.

Tune in to find out who takes the crown for the ultimate idiot this week. Trust us, you won’t want to miss these absurdly funny stories.

Catch all the hilarity and find out who earns the title of Idiot of the Week!

Hope, Resistance, and the Power of Community Feb 14, 2025

Show notes

In this special episode of The Final Word, we take a step back to focus on what matters most: us. We dive into how we can take care of ourselves, our communities, and our collective resistance in the face of the ongoing chaos and cruelty of the MAGA agenda. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the constant noise, but we explore how self-care is not just important—it’s essential for sustaining our movement.

We talk about the power of community and how being allies to all marginalized groups strengthens us all. Whether it’s offering a kind word, showing up for protests, or simply listening and learning, we walk you through actionable steps to support each other and build a lasting coalition of resistance. Together, we can rise above the madness.

From unplugging from the constant media cycle to pursuing hobbies and embracing small acts of radical resistance, we share what we do to maintain our own peace and energy. As human rights lawyer Julian Aguon reminds us, "No offering is too small. No stone unneeded… All of us, without exception, are qualified to participate in the rescue of the world."

This episode is a call to action—and to rest. We remind you that rage can be a form of prayer, and hope isn’t passive—it’s something we actively nurture every day. Join us for this heart-centered discussion on staying righteous, staying engaged, and most importantly, staying human in the fight for justice.

Take care of yourselves, find your joy, and remember: Together, we will not let them win.

Listen now for a powerful reminder of why resistance is not just a fight, but a way of living.

Fighting for justice doesn’t have to be a big dramatic act. It can be small | Rebecca Solnit | The Guardian

Something Ain't Right | Obama-Gossip, Jewel's caught & The Human Touch in Getting It Wrong Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Something Ain’t Right, we dive deep into some of the wildest stories that just don’t sit right — from the murky world of Obama gossip to Jewel's near-perfect cultural crime, and why, frankly, we don’t need artificial intelligence to mess things up for us. Turns out, humans are more than capable of getting things hilariously and frustratingly wrong on their own! We unpack how conservative media hypocritically spins rumors around the former president, take a look at the garbage Jewel tries to pass off, and the ways we continue to get things wrong, even without a machine’s help. It's pop culture, politics, and just plain weirdness — but with a side of what the heck happened there?

Tune in for the stories, the theories, and of course, the moments when you just know something ain't right.

IOTW | Hacksaws and Whisky Feb 11, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode, we’ve got a fresh batch of nominees vying for the internationally coveted Idiot of the Week title — and trust us, it's a tight race.

Then there’s the 29-year-old still stuck in seventh grade… or perhaps the guy who thought he could cut through a power line with nothing but a hacksaw?

Tune in to find out which of these contenders took the cake for the ultimate facepalm moment of the week. Who will emerge as the reigning champion of stupidity? Subscribe, download and review idiot of the week now!!!!
