Frangela: Idiot of the Week

Oh honey… this week the stupid came in HOT, humid, and Florida‑flavored. We kick things off with a hospital in Florida that had to  sue  a discharged patient because he’s been living in his room like it’s a studio apartment for  five. whole. months.  Sir, this is not an Airbnb, and Medicare does NOT cover squatting. Then—because Florida never lets us down—a man with a suspended license was caught...

This week in stupid, we are  once again  reminded that the bar is not low — it is subterranean, and people are still tripping over it. We kick things off with two Texas women who apparently watched one too many spy movies and decided the best way to smuggle contraband into a federal prison in Louisiana was with… a drone dressed up like a crow. Yes, a crow. Because nothing says “totally normal bird...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , we are swimming in a deep, chlorinated pool of foolishness, and baby, the lifeguard has gone home. We kick things off with a Douglass Township bus driver who decided the best time to get behind the wheel—of a bus, with  54 children on it —was after allegedly marinating in DUI sauce. Because nothing says “field trip” like your driver trying to reenact  Speed  witho...

This week in stupid, we are taking a deep breath, centering ourselves, and diving headfirst into the shallow end of the gene pool — because apparently that’s where the action is. First up, we’ve got an LA officer who decided disability leave was the perfect time to go  skydiving . Yes, skydiving. Because nothing says “I’m injured” like hurling yourself out of a plane for funsies. We’re not saying...

This week’s Idiot of the Week lineup is so chaotic, so deeply unnecessary, so aggressively  Florida  that we had to take a moment, breathe deeply, and ask the universe, “Is this a test? Are we being punked? Did Mercury moonwalk into retrograde again?” We kick things off with a Florida man who allegedly decided that every white car he saw needed a personal hammer consultation. Not red cars, not blu...

We are back in the Idiot of the Week saddle, holding hands, breathing deeply, and reminding ourselves that humanity is  trying its best … even when the evidence suggests otherwise. We start with Raising Cane’s, which is suing because the landlord wants to evict them because the building smells like chicken. Yes— the chicken restaurant smells like chicken.  We cannot stress enough how much this fee...

We are coming in HOT today because Kookoo Land has out‑Kookoo’d itself again, and we need to talk about it before somebody sprains a brain cell trying to keep up. First up: State Rep. James Talaricho won the Texas democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, since the start of 2025, the D emocrats have flipped NINE  Republican‑held seats while the Republicans have flipped exactly  zero , which i...

This week, we are  blessed —and we do mean blessed—with a buffet of human foolishness so rich it should come with a warning label and a side of ranch. We kick things off with a woman who said, “You know what the food industry needs? More squirrels. And less licensing.” Because nothing says “culinary innovation” like a mobile, unregulated, rodent‑based pop‑up. We have questions. We have concerns. W...

Gather close, because this week the foolishness is not just flowing — it is  gushing  like a busted fire hydrant on a July afternoon. We kick things off with two teens who set out to commit a  heist  — excuse us, a  “hiest”  — and honestly, we have to give them points for effort. Because unlike half the grown fools we cover, these babies had a  plan . A written plan. A documented plan. A plan so d...

Baby, gather close, because this week’s Idiot Parade came through with sparks, smoke, breadcrumbs, big-cat foolishness, and a Little Caesars crime spree that absolutely nobody asked for. We kick things off in Florida — of course we do — where a man was arrested for DUI  while actively driving a car that was ON FIRE . Flames. Shooting. Out. The. Hood. And this man said, “Let me just finish this err...

Oh honey… this week? This week the universe said, “Let’s test the limits of human decision-making,” and these fools  delivered . We kick things off in France, where a 24‑year‑old man walked into a hospital with a  live World War I artillery shell  lodged where the sun don’t shine. And when we say “live,” we mean the doctors had to evacuate the building because this man turned his bootyhole into an...

Baby… BABY. Gather ‘round, because this week the universe said, “Frances, Angela, we’re gonna test your faith in humanity,” and we said, “Oh honey, that ship sailed three idiots ago.” We kick things off in Prior Lake, where a woman was arrested carrying a bag boldly labeled  “Definitely not a bag full of drugs.”  And you know what? We appreciate the commitment to branding. We do. But labeling your...

Idiot of the Week: “Y’all… We Are Not Okay.”    Baby, gather close, because this week the universe said, “Frances, Angela… hold my drink.” And we did. And now we regret it. We kick things off at the Grand Geneva Resort, where a raccoon  literally  fell through the ceiling and some guest decided  they  were the chosen one to wrangle woodland wildlife with their bare hands. Because nothing says “vac...

Oh honey, buckle up, because this week’s Idiot of the Week is a full buffet of foolishness, and we are  serving it hot . We are Frances and Angela, and we have QUESTIONS. First up, we head to North Carolina, where a robbery suspect allegedly fired seventeen shots—yes, seventeen—only to steal one single dollar from a KFC. Baby, if you’re gonna risk prison time, at least get a biscuit. Or a side. Or...

This week, we dive headfirst into a buffet of foolishness so rich it should come with a warning label. First up, a Florida man claims his wife “wants a divorce” after he handed  $45,000  to an AI‑generated Elon Musk promising him a car. Because nothing says “financial literacy” like wiring your life savings to Robo‑Elon. Then we jet over to Japan, where a woman has officially married the virtual m...

It’s our very first  Idiot of the Week  of 2026, and baby… the stupid came out the gate SPRINTING. We kick things off with the year’s first vestibule injury—a man who needed major surgery after a ceramic mug “accidentally” found its way into his intestines. Then we meet Calvin Johnson, who was caught speeding in a stolen car but insists he teleported into it like he’s the world’s least convincing...

We're taking some time off for the holidays, but we have you covered with a "Best of Idiot of the Week" episode. We'll see you in 2026! Happy holidays!!! Your weekly fix of wacky, zany craziness as only Frangela can provide! You send in stories of real-life idiots and we mock them for your edification. It is our sacred duty. Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week?? Become a Fr...

There's Always Time For Panties 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 sur...

This week in stupid, the buffet of bad decisions is wide open! In South Carolina, a drone dropped crab legs, steak, and weed into a prison—because apparently DoorDash now has a felony App. A mother was allegedly shot in the leg by her two‑year‑old with an unsecured gun, proving once again that toddlers should not be your security detail. The owner of a historic resort was charged with arson and in...

This week in stupid, the animal kingdom and human nonsense collide! First up, a raccoon goes on a drunken binge—because apparently even wildlife needs happy hour. Then a man chokes to death on a cockroach during a competitive eating contest, proving once again that some trophies are not worth it. Another genius tried to “rescue” a raccoon and ended up with rabies—sir, that’s not a Disney movie, th...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , the stupid is international, baby! In Spain, a customer set fire to a café because they ran out of mayonnaise—because apparently condiments are worth arson now. In Colorado, a storage unit auction turned into the largest fentanyl bust in state history, proving once again that some folks just cannot pack light. Over in New Jersey, a suspect got stuck inside the ver...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , Frangela dives into a buffet of bad decisions that’ll leave you asking, “How are these people allowed outside?” A woman hits 107 mph trying to beat the clock for a Little Caesar’s pizza. Ma’am… it’s not even good  pizza.  A UK couple bulldozes a  national park  to build their dream home. Because nothing says “cozy” like environmental destruction and prison time. A...

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 in...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , the stupid did everything they could to keep it stupid. First up: a woman claims discrimination at KFC because—brace yourself—Kentucky  Fried Chicken  didn’t have vegan options. Ma’am, the chicken is literally in the name. Then, a pub argument over chickens escalates into gunfire. Because nothing says “I’ve lost the plot” like poultry and pistols. Next, patients a...

This week’s idiots are giving  “natural selection meets neighborhood snitchery.”  We’ve got tidal trauma, vehicular betrayal, lawn drama, and classroom chaos—and it’s all deeply, stupidly real. First up: a man got obliterated by a wave at Iceland’s deadliest beach. Sir, when the beach is nicknamed  “death,”  maybe don’t pose for selfies at the edge of the abyss. Then, a driver was run over by thei...
