  • IOTW | Support Tigers, Tinder Hitmen, and Applebee’s Party Legends—A Masterclass in Buffoonery
    Apr 29 2025

    This week on Idiot of the Week, Frangela tackles the kind of idiocy that truly defies comprehension. First, meet Nevada Karl, who thought seven "emotional support" tigers prowling around his house was a totally fine idea—until the authorities didn’t agree.

    Then, we head to New Jersey, where one woman decided that hiring a hitman via Tinder was the perfect plan. Because nothing says “discreet criminal activity” like swiping right on murder.

    Next up, the curious case of a 36-year-old who spent twenty years performing unlicensed penis enlargement surgeries. But here’s the kicker—are the real idiots his patients or him? Discuss amongst yourselves.

    And finally, the pièce de résistance: a drunken reveler who showed up to the Applebee’s parking lot in a pink thong, pink wig, and fake boobs. If you’re bringing that level of crazy, of course it’s a party. Everyone knows Applebee’s is where legends are made.

    Who will wear the crown of idiocy this week? Tune in for all the laughter, mockery, and head-shaking madness on Idiot of the Week.

  • Musk Meltdowns, Economic Head-Scratchers, and Dystopia Served Fresh
    Apr 25 2025

    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 by an aide. Because nothing says “stable governance” like billionaire temper tantrums in the halls of power. In a rare silver lining, Musk has announced he’ll “reduce” his time at the Department of Government Efficiency—coincidentally right after Tesla posted a 71% drop in quarterly profits. Efficiency indeed.

    Next, we try to untangle the mental gymnastics of economic polling. Fifty-five percent of Americans say they’re not confident in Trump’s economic decision-making, but that means 45% are confident? Meanwhile, 87% are worried about inflation, and 76% fear a recession. Math? Logic? Anyone?

    And as if that wasn’t dystopian enough, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now creating a national autism registry by pulling private medical records. Nothing to worry about there, right? Oh, and the Trump administration is proving once again that cruelty is the point by planning to eliminate the 988 suicide hotline’s specialized support for LGBTQ youth.

    All this and more on The Final Word, where we make sense of the senseless—or at least laugh while we try.

  • Billionaire Baby Factories, Space Snobs, and the Magic That Shouldn’t Exist | Something Ain't Right
    Apr 23 2025

    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 warning in the title? Seems promising—or terrifying. Either way, we’re watching through our fingers crossed.

    And finally, six wealthy and famous women—including Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée—took a glamorous eleven-minute joyride into suborbital space and somehow returned as worse people. Was this space travel or an elite-level humility vacuum? NASA, we have questions.

    If it doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t. Join us for another episode of Something Ain’t Right, where skepticism reigns and the nonsense never ends.

  • Musk, E-Bikes, and Greenland—The Charm Offensive Nobody Asked For
    Apr 16 2025

    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 Trump administration thinks it can charm its way into taking over Greenland. Yes, Greenland. Because nothing says “diplomatic finesse” like a poorly executed charm offensive.

    And finally, in a story that’s equal parts horrifying and infuriating, a judge has ruled that Alabama is not immune from a lawsuit alleging the harvesting of prison inmates’ organs. When the world serves up a platter of “what the heck,” Frances and Angela are here to dish it out with biting commentary and a side of humor.

    Tune in for your weekly dose of Something Ain’t Right. It’s cathartic. Probably.

  • IOTW | Middle School Ink, Diamond Swallows, and Instagram Crime—America, You’re on a Roll!
    Apr 15 2025

    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 who swallowed diamond earrings he stole earns his spot on the list with a question for the ages: “Am I going to be charged with what is in my stomach?” Spoiler alert: Yes, sir, and probably with a bonus charge for spectacular stupidity.

    Then we meet the latest criminal duo vying for infamy: Mr. Clean and Ms. Dookie. We’re not saying they should quit their day jobs, but…actually, yes, they definitely should have quit while they were ahead. Or maybe just not started at all.

    And finally, the world of criminal recruitment hits a new low, with wannabe masterminds placing ads on—where else?—Instagram. Because nothing screams “qualified accomplice” like a double-tap on your latest selfie.

    Who will emerge victorious in this week’s battle of idiocy? Tune in to find out, and prepare to laugh, cringe, and wonder how we got here.

  • Tariffs, Tantrums, and the 41% Mystery
    Apr 11 2025

    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 ring” tour, blocking a Democratic attempt to force a vote on repealing Trump’s tariffs. Because apparently, loyalty to chaos is the new party platform.

    But wait, there’s more! The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court for permission to fire two independent regulators without cause—because who needs checks and balances when you can have unchecked power? And, in a move that’s equal parts petty and alarming, they’ve also asked the Justice Department to open investigations into perceived enemies Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs. Democracy, we hardly knew you.

    And somehow, despite all of this, Trump still boasts a 41% approval rating. Yes, really. We’re as baffled as you are.

    Tune in for your weekly dose of biting commentary, righteous indignation, and the occasional existential crisis. It’s The Final Word, and it’s not pulling any punches.

  • Demons & Diners | Something Ain't Right
    Apr 9 2025

    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 hilarious, the British High Court has declared that calling someone bald is sexual harassment. Because apparently, follicular commentary is now a legal minefield. Bald folks, rejoice—or maybe just wear a hat.

    Then, Elon Musk decides to open a diner in Los Angeles, proving once again that he’s the king of “read the room” fails. Nothing screams “I’m wildly out of touch” like launching a notoriously difficult business in the heart of one of the bluest cities in America. Will the menu feature overpriced rocket-shaped pancakes? Stay tuned.

    And finally, in a move that’s peak Trump, one of his latest executive orders demands states use voting machines that don’t actually exist. Because when you’re running low on chaos, just invent some.

    When the world serves up a platter of absurdity, Frances and Angela are here to dish it out with a side of biting commentary. Tune in for your weekly dose of Something Ain’t Right.
