Summary

Adam welcomes Frances Callier and Angela Shelton to the studio, the comedy duo also known as Frangela. They regularly appear on VH1's Best Week Ever, and Adam marvels at their ability to work together. He says, 'Comedians hate other comedians. Women hate bitches. Women of color may hate each other even more.' They say they're friends first, 'thick as thieves.' They met in Second City, Chicago, an area well known for improv. To sum it up nicely, Frances says, 'Nothing is more painful than bad improv.' They talk about people who preplan their improv and deny every offer given to them. Adam calls it 'comedy polio' and compares it to having a shitty dance partner. Adam starts talking in 'Sassy Urban,' and soon they start talking about the 1970s classic show 'What's Happening!!' Adam dissects each character and laughs about the cameo The Doobie Brothers make in season 4. Adam mentions previous guest Michael Jai White, and the girls laugh about their 'very urban' crushes on Billy Joel and Bob Newhart. Francis and Angela go through their early experiences being separated and trying to make it in LA. Adam compares it to living with Donny, and he flashes back to his battlecry of 'clean or leave' to any ladies staying in their apartment. It reminds him of his days working at McDonalds, working his ass off in leather shoes and burning the BigMac buns. Soon the conversation moves to a discussion of a utopian world with one globe and no borders. Adam says we need to stop shipping food to Africa and start sending condoms instead. He also says, 'we're way too into the sanctity of life,' and decides we should 'bulldoze all those assholes' that are stopping us from creating a world where 'everyone takes care of their own shit.' They talk about the people who don't do such a great job raising their kids, and he ties it into the Menendez Brothers case. All the talk about intra-family murder reminds him of the Mafia and the John Goti crime syndicate, and the conversation wraps up nicely while discussing the idea of wanting to be famous and 'being a fame whore for any reason.' Adam explains how ten years ago you wouldn't go on Oprah to announce something that will bring you shame. 'Now we embrace it, I don't get it.' You can catch Francis Callier's voice every week on The Cleveland Show, or also both Francis and Angela via podcast on 'The Week According to Frangela'.
