Frangela: Idiot of the Week

Welcome to Idiot of the Week, where we have a crowded field and zero shame. Let's start in the dirt, because soil scientists buried 2,000 pairs of underwear to prove a point. Ma'am, sir, we don't know what point needs 2,000 pairs of underwear, but we do know somebody signed off on the budget. Then we have a surgeon who drank a bottle of vodka before his shift. He admitted he would not...

Buckle up, because this week's Idiot of the Week has SO many nominees we had to fight over the crown ourselves. First: a British Airways crew got sick after allegedly eating weed gummies handed to them by a passenger mid-flight. Ma'am. MA'AM. You're up there responsible for our safety at 30,000 feet and you're accepting mystery snacks from strangers like it's a slumber part...

We have a whole truckload of stupid this week! A beer lover gets no prize for the Pabst Blue Ribbon.  AI helps Mount Shasta hikers get lost. Word to the wise, don’t show up to your don’t drink class drunk. Why is the Cat in the Hat on TikTok?

Y'all, we don't know where to even start this week because the idiocy is  deep . First up, we're talking about a man in Vietnam who mistook toilet cleaner for a drink — and lost his entire stomach because of it. His entire stomach! We need a moment. Then we're taking you to the mall, where two grown women decided the food court was the perfect venue for an old-fashioned, fists-flyi...

Okay, we need y'all to sit down for this one because the nominees this week are chaotic on a spiritual level and we cannot get over it. First up: a woman gets arrested in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin for stealing an ambulance. Buck naked. Not a stitch on. And listen, if you can't steal an ambulance with your whole entire business hanging out in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin — a place that sou...

Okay, we've got FOUR contenders this week and we are struggling to pick just one, because they're all so, so special. First up: a man police find hiding under a mattress, and when they pull him out, his own mother tries to punch the officers on his behalf. Family loyalty, folks. Then we've got a guy who gets drunk and decides the move is to unload multiple weapons at a County Sheriff&#...

This week on Idiot of the Week , we are wading into the deep end of America’s questionable decision‑making — and baby, the water is boiling . First up, we have the man who dipped his finger into a Yellowstone hot spring like it was a free sample at Costco… then slipped, fell in, and met the world’s most scalding natural consequence. We’re not saying Darwin tapped him on the shoulder, but the unive...

This week in stupid . . . Pickles the pickleball rooster is MISSING, y'all. $450 reward. We don't make the rules, we just judge the ransom. Meanwhile some genius tried to bring an AI "attorney" into an actual courtroom, and the judge was NOT having it — sir, that's a chatbot in a blazer, sit down. Then Lake County said hold my beer and gave us TWO charter school principals arre...

We start with a man who saw his eye twitch and decided it was a bad omen . Now, most people would Google it, hydrate, maybe take a nap. Not this fool. No, he slapped himself in the eye until he lost sight . Baby, if your solution to a twitch is violence against your own face, you are the omen. Then we move on to a young mom of two who walked into a restaurant wearing a tank top and declared it was...

This week on Idiot of the Week , we are diving head‑first into a buffet of foolishness so fresh it’s still steaming. First up, we meet a man who called the police to report his car stolen… while he was actively robbing a store. Baby, that’s not multitasking — that’s a cry for help from the last two brain cells fighting for custody. Then America proves once again that we need to manage our fast‑foo...

Baby, this week on Idiot of the Week , we are wading chest‑deep through the swamp of human decision‑making, and let me tell you… the gators aren’t the dangerous ones. We kick things off in Florida — because of course we do — where a man is suing Waffle House for allegedly weaponizing their window ads. Yes, he claims the sign was so distracting that he tripped over an “abnormally high curb.” We’re...

This week we are neck‑deep in the shallow end of humanity. We’re talking about a dentist who decided the real patient was herself and hit the laughing‑gas button like it was a Staples “Easy” button. Then there’s the mom who wouldn’t pay her grown son’s rent, so he drove his car into a university pool like he was auditioning for Fast & Furious: Financial Aid . We’ve also got an 85‑year‑old out...

Buckle up, baby, because this week’s Idiot of the Week is a full‑on buffet of foolishness, and we are  serving  it hot, spicy, and with a side of “What is wrong with people.” We kick things off with the stand‑up comic who allegedly decided the best punchline was a  bomb threat  to Ohio Stadium. Because nothing says “I’m hilarious” like federal charges. Then we slide—unwillingly—into the world of t...

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...
