Frangela: Idiot of the Week

This week, we are serving up a four‑course tasting menu of foolishness so rich it should come with a Surgeon General’s warning. We kick things off with a mac & cheese mastermind who allegedly siphoned eighty thousand dollars out of a Chick‑fil‑A like he was running a dairy‑based Ponzi scheme. Because nothing says “financial freedom” like felony cheddar. Then we hop over to our FedEx pharmaceut...

Baby, this week on Idiot of the Week , the competition is so tight you could cut it with the tension between two girlfriends showing up at the same man’s door. And what does our hero do? He steps outside with a rifle, like that was going to turn a love triangle into a teachable moment. Sir, you are not the Bachelor, you are the reason Ring cameras stay employed. Then we slide over to Pasadena, whe...

Oh honey, the animals are DONE with us. They have clocked in, put on their little nature‑issued name badges, and said, “We’re assisting law enforcement today.” And we are here for it. First, we meet a tourist who tried to hand‑feed a wild bear, because apparently he thought he was Snow White instead of a man made of meat and bad decisions. The bear responded the only way a bear can: “Get out this...

Baby, this week the Idiot Parade is marching loud, proud, and crunchy. We kick things off with the insect breeder who was caught with 100,000 illegal cockroaches. One hundred. Thousand. Roaches. We are talking enough bugs to start a political party. We don’t know what’s worse — the crime or the confidence it takes to look at that many roaches and say, “Yeah, this seems fine.” Then we slide over to...

Oh honey… this week on Idiot of the Week , the bar is not just low — it’s subterranean. We are spelunking through the caves of human foolishness, and the stalactites are shaped like red flags. We kick things off with a man whose response to being teased about his crumbling marriage was to get drunk and go full bulldozer rampage. Because nothing says “my relationship is fine” like operating heavy m...

The contenders are fierce, the foolishness is premium, and the stupidity is artisanal. We’re talking a dog with a shotgun (yes, really), a driver who treated wet cement like a personal challenge, a Popeye’s break‑in that turned into a full‑on cooking show, and a substitute teacher who got so drunk they passed out in the pickup line like it was nap time. Buckle up — the Idiot of the Week crown is g...

This week we are serving up a four‑course tasting menu of foolishness, and baby, it is chef’s kiss stupid. We kick things off with a woman who called 911—the emergency line, the taxpayer‑funded hotline, the “help me, I’m dying” number—to report that no one would sell her drugs. Yes, apparently the real crime is customer service. Then we head to an amusement park where riders were left dangling 200...

This week on Idiot of the Week , chaos reigns as we celebrate a fresh batch of overachievers in the field of foolishness. First up: a Florida surgeon who apparently skipped the chapter on “knowing your organs” and managed to remove the wrong one. Then we head to a shared‑wall hellscape where two petty residents wage war by blasting “ghostly mountain sounds” for ten hours a day, proving that vengea...

This week feels like it was organized by a committee of sleep‑deprived raccoons. Senate Republicans have now blocked a resolution to stop Krump’s escalating conflict with Iran for the seventh time — because apparently the eighth time is when democracy magically kicks in. Meanwhile, the Senate has confirmed Kevin Warsh, a man widely described as a probable sock puppet, to run the Federal Reserve. Y...

Baby, this week on  Idiot of the Week , we are clutching our pearls, our purses, and our pancreas because the stupid is coming at us from every direction and none of it has pants on. We kick things off in central Florida — of course we do — where some tourists decided the best way to honor their vacation memories was to STRAP A DEAD ALLIGATOR TO THE ROOF OF THEIR CAR like it was a Christmas tree....

Okay, sit down, buckle up, and grab your good sense — because this week in stupid did NOT come to play. We are LOADED. First up, somebody promised the people a Barbie dream experience and delivered a full-on nightmare. Pink was a lie. The glamour was a lie. Honey, even Ken would've asked for a refund. Then — THEN — a Florida man. Yes, Florida. Again. Let ChatGPT sell his house. Not a realtor....

Buckle up, babies, because this week the Idiot Parade is long, loud, and carb‑heavy. We start in California, where a man is accused of stealing Legos and replacing them with… pasta. Yes. Pasta. We are talking elbow macaroni where a Millennium Falcon should be. We don’t know if he thought the cashier was nearsighted or if he just believed in the power of gluten, but we are offended on behalf of eve...

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...
