Frangela: Idiot of the Week

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!!!

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...

This week’s idiots are giving  “chaos with a side of lighter fluid.”  We’ve got arson, nudity, pest control gone rogue, and a breath mint cover-up that’s not fooling anybody. First up: a woman intentionally starts TWO wildfires just to flirt with firefighters. Ma’am, there are apps for that. Tinder, not timber. Then, a woman tried to kill a cockroach and ended up setting her entire apartment block...

This week’s idiots are throwing hands, throwing tantrums, and throwing all common sense out the window. It’s giving  chaotic neutral , it’s giving  Florida , and it’s giving  somebody call somebody . First up: a man at a Florida Publix decided the best way to settle a dispute was to pummel three people with a metal shelf. Sir, this is a grocery store—not WrestleMania. Then, a drunk man looked at a...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , the stupid is coming in HOT and heavy—and Frangela is READY! First up, we’ve got a woman who allegedly caused over $1,000 in damages because she was charged ONE dollar for extra sauce. Ma’am. It’s condiments, not currency. You can’t put a price on petty—but she sure tried. Then there’s the 28-year-old who made a fake bomb threat at the airport because she didn’t g...

Buckle up, babies—this week’s  Idiot of the Week  is serving up a buffet of bold, brazen, and straight-up bonkers behavior, and Frangela is here to crown the messiest of them all! First up, Florida firefighter Gabrielle Franz decided the best way to express her heartbreak was to dump  seventy-five possibly used tampons  on her ex’s lawn. That’s not closure, that’s a biohazard with emotional undert...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , the stupidity is so strong, we’re thinking of issuing helmets and waivers before you press play. Every finalist submitted by our brilliant listeners deserves a medal for maximum foolishness—but only one can take home the crown. First up, a teacher’s assistant thought it’d be hilarious to unleash fart spray in a classroom. But the “prank” ended with hospitalized st...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , the foolishness is so strong, we’re checking the skies for locusts and fireballs—because clearly, the end times are trying to RSVP. First up, Pennsylvania Walmart said “no thanks” to a man and his emotional support alligator. Yes, an  alligator . Sir, this is not a swamp, it’s a store. And no, we don’t want to pet your reptile while picking up paper towels. Then w...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , the foolishness is so potent, we’re convinced these folks woke up and chose chaos. Frangela is here to crown the dumbest of the dumb, and trust us—this week’s contenders did not come to play. First up, four hikers in the Catskills decided to trip  while  tripping—on magic mushrooms. Spoiler alert: nature didn’t vibe with their vibe, and they had to be rescued. Tha...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , the foolishness is so strong, we had to triple up on the prayer hands. First up, a woman tried to take a selfie with a shark. Yes, a  shark . Spoiler alert: she didn’t get the pic, but she did get a one-way ticket to the “no hands” club. Ma’am, sharks don’t do selfies—they do snacks. Then we head to Detroit, Angela’s hometown, where a love triangle popped off at a...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , Frangela is back with a fresh batch of fools who are out here doing the absolute most with the absolute least. The competition is fierce, the decisions are questionable, and the side-eye is fully loaded. First up, we’ve got a local officer who allegedly responded to a 9-1-1 call while drunk. That’s right—he showed up sauced, badge and all. Protect and slur, anyone...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , Frangela is back with a fresh batch of fools who are out here redefining rock bottom—one bad decision at a time. First up, a camper’s repeated cries for help sparked a full-blown rescue mission. But was he in danger? No. He was just belting out Nickelback songs like it was 2003 and nobody had taste. Sir, if you're gonna scream in the woods, at least make it Be...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , Frangela dives into the deep end of the dumb pool, where the water is murky and the choices are questionable. The contenders for the crown of supreme stupidity did not come to play—they came to embarrass themselves on a national scale. First up, a man was arrested for breaking into an auto dealership with a knife hidden in his rectum. That’s right. Not in a pocket...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , Frangela dives headfirst into the shallow end of the gene pool to crown the reigning monarch of moronic mayhem. The competition is fierce, the stupidity is bold, and the Darwin Awards committee is taking notes. First up: a customer in Passaic County who turned a bakery mix-up into a stabbing spree. Because clearly, the only rational response to getting the wrong d...

First up, Jason Hughes, who was arrested after allegedly attacking another golfer over slow play. Because when you're frustrated on the course, clearly the next step is to throw punches instead of putts. Then we’ve got the artist who sold an invisible sculpture for $18,000. Not a sketch, not a model—just empty space and a whole lot of confidence. Somewhere, someone is proudly displaying nothin...
