Frangela: Idiot of the Week

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...

Buckle up, y’all—this week on Idiot of the Week , the Sunshine State said “hold my gator” and went full tilt on the foolishness. First up, we’ve got a man with a meth pipe (not actively puffin’, thank you very much) accused of hijacking a tourist train and taking unsuspecting passengers for a scenic ride. Because apparently, “it’s my birthday” is now a legal defense. Then we head to Port St. Lucie...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , we gather ‘round the flaming dumpster of WTF moments and ask: who’s truly earned the crown? Was it CEO Andy Byron, who thought the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert was the perfect place to audition for  The Office: HR Violations Edition ? Or maybe it’s the criminal masterminds who DIY’d a cocaine arrow and launched it straight into the Fayette County Jail. Cupid is...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , we’re back with another batch of folks who took a hard left at common sense and never looked back. First up, somebody thought it was a good idea to ship 1,500 tarantulas—yes,  real ones —hidden in sponge cake boxes. That’s not dessert, that’s a horror movie with frosting. Then we’ve got a woman who filed a lawsuit against a bank, claiming a Chucky doll gave her PT...

Alright y’all, buckle up—this week on  Idiot of the Week , we’ve got enough foolishness to make a raccoon shake its head in disappointment. First up: a couple allegedly trying to poison the man’s ex-girlfriends with cyanide. Cyanide. Not a text. Not a petty Instagram comment. Cyanide.  Then we got some Airbnb guests who decided the best way to enjoy their stay was to allegedly turn their rental in...

This week on Idiot of the Week, we ask the only question that matters: who out-stupided whom? First up, a rogue duck in Florida is accused of terrorizing an entire neighborhood. We don’t know what kind of beef this bird had, but it clearly woke up and chose chaos. Then, there’s the neighbor who saw a, shall we say, casually dressed father with his own child and thought, “yep, must be kidnapping.”...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , we dive headfirst into the latest collection of deeply regrettable life choices. First up, a judge determined that a man posed a  significant danger  to himself and others if allowed to own firearms. So, naturally, he agreed to give up his extensive arsenal… for  one whole year . Because nothing says “long-term safety solution” like treating gun access like a Cost...

This week on Idiot of the Week , we embark on a journey through some of the most spectacular lapses in judgment the world has to offer. First up, we catch up with the "nuns on the run"—because when an intra-nunnery prosecco dispute escalates all the way to the Pope, you know things have gone very off the rails. Then, we have an American tourist in Rome who somehow managed to impale himself...

Y’all, this week’s  Idiot of the Week  is  stacked  with some truly  next-level foolishness . First up, we have a flight attendant who thought the best way to handle a  four-hour flight delay  was to let a child sing a  Moana  song over the intercom. Look, we all love Disney, but after hour three in an airport, nobody is out here trying to hear  How Far I’ll Go —because we already know:  nowhere....

This week on  Idiot of the Week , the competition for supreme foolishness is fierce, and—much like stupidity itself—it  does not quit . First, Delta Airlines, showing their commitment to  innovative travel solutions , seems to be the airline of choice for pigeons. Yes, actual pigeons. Because when you think  frequent flyer perks , you obviously think “urban birds just trying to get places.” Then,...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , we once again ask the eternal question:  What are the stupid doing?  And the answer, dear listener, is  everything . First up, we’ve got  not one, but two  runaway kangaroos—one in Alabama, one in Colorado—raising the important follow-up question:  Why do so many people in the U.S. own kangaroos?  Also, when a kangaroo escapes, are you  really  its “pet parent” an...

This week on  Idiot of the Week , we dive into a fresh batch of mind-boggling decisions that truly make  The Mindful Thief  required reading for the future of this country. First, we meet a man accused of robbing  seven-plus  Circle Ks. That’s right— the same  Circle K. It seems our aspiring criminal mastermind operates under the belief that if at first you don’t succeed (or get caught), try, try...

This week on Idiot of the Week , we once again ask the age-old question: Are humans actually intelligent animals? Or is that deeply unfair to animals? First up, we have the woman who may have shared a meth pipe with her pet raccoon. Because when looking for responsible choices in life, “passing narcotics to a wild animal” is…not it. Then, there’s a California city facing an existential crisis: too...
