AI Lawyers, DUI Duos, and a Rooster Named Pickles: Florida Just Florida'd Again
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 arrested for DUI, hours apart, same car. Carpool of shame. We need the group chat.And a bank robber made the staff hold a stolen kitten while he finished writing his robbery note. Priorities, people. PRIORITIES.We are on a mission to mock stupid. Join us. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Baby, Your Eye’s Twitching, Your Table’s Burning, and Your Snake Just Took Your Thumb
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 “freezing.” And instead of asking for a different seat or putting on a cardigan like a person, she set a fire at her table. Because nothing warms the soul like felony arson over appetizers.Next up: the Zoom coaster rider. Turns out — and we cannot stress this enough — your coworkers WILL notice if you’re on a roller coaster during a meeting. They will see the wind. They will hear the screaming. They will clock the loop‑de‑loop. And they will absolutely report you to HR.And finally, we close with a Chinese man who decided to hand‑feed his pet snake. Hand. Feed. His. Snake. Baby, snakes don’t do gratitude. Snakes do bite, and this one took his thumb like it was a sampler platter.It’s a full buffet of bad decisions, and we are here for it!!!!!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Spider Racing for Science and Satan
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‑food expectations. A woman in a McDonald’s drive‑thru allegedly slapped a man because he took too long ordering. We’re not saying she was wrong, but we are saying she was wrong. It’s McDonald’s, not the Michelin Guide.Meanwhile in Florida — because of course — a woman on house arrest for stabbing a lover in Broward County decided to stab another lover in Miami‑Dade. Ma’am, ankle monitors are not “Buy One, Get One Free” coupons for crime.And finally, a group of scientists decided to race spiders to determine which one of Satan’s interns is the fastest. We don’t know what grant paid for this, but we do know it wasn’t enough.Who will win the coveted crown? The criminal who called the cops on himself, the slap‑happy drive‑thru diva, the double‑county stabber, or the spider‑racing science squad? Pull up a chair — the nonsense is piping hot.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

White Claws, High Curbs & Low Expectations
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 asking the only reasonable question: how high does a curb have to be before it becomes a civil rights violation? Then we slide over to Chesapeake, where an inmate has filed a lawsuit against… himself. For getting drunk. And violating his own civil rights. We don’t know if this is self‑care, self‑harm, or self‑employment, but we do know it’s peak American jurisprudence.Next up, a substitute teacher decided the lesson plan was optional and the twerk was mandatory. She threw the curriculum in the trash, declared herself a “million‑dollar prostitute,” and proceeded to give the kids a masterclass in What Not To Do In Any Profession Ever. We’re not saying she’s wrong about her valuation — we’re saying maybe keep that off the syllabus.And finally, back to Florida — because gravity pulls us there — where a man was pulled over for speeding and the officer discovered 34 open cans of White Claw riding shotgun. Thirty‑four. That’s not a beverage choice; that’s a cry for help and a citrus‑flavored lifestyle.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Gas, Glass & Mass
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 here street racing with a cigarillo, proving once again that wisdom does not come with age, but apparently drag racing does. And finally, the alleged drunk driver who insisted the only thing he drank was the blood of Christ, which is bold, confusing, and deeply unhelpful to the officer holding the breathalyzer. Who will take home the crown, the sash, and the tiara of Idiot of the Week? Buckle up, babies — it’s a bumpy ride.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Chaos, Cocktails & Questionable Choices: A Four‑Way Idiot Smackdown
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 the landlord caught on camera doing the absolute most in his tenant’s apartment. And by “most,” we mean sex… followed by a sandwich. But wait, the Fireball Fairy has entered the chat. Police say a woman with 21 open bottles of Fireball crashed her car on a golf course. Twenty‑one. OPEN. Bottles. Sis wasn’t drinking—she was marinating.And finally, we visit the kindergarten graduation ceremony that devolved into a full‑blown brawl over seating arrangements. Because nothing celebrates academic achievement like fists flying over folding chairs.Who will be crowned the Idiot of the Week? Grab your beverage, your boundaries, and your blood pressure medication, because this one is a doozy.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Mac & Cheese Money Laundering, Cocaine Delivery Service, and the Case of the Cabernet Cavity
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 pharmaceutical entrepreneur who apparently thought the purple‑and‑orange truck was the perfect cover for a mobile narcotics boutique. “When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight” hits differently when it’s cocaine.Next, we take a deep breath—because we have to—before discussing the Traverse City wine smuggler who allegedly stored a stolen bottle in a… personal storage compartment. We’re not saying she’s committed, but that is a level of dedication to wine that even Napa would call “ma’am, please don’t.”And finally, we close with a Tesla truck owner who believed Elon Musk when he said it could cross a lake. Spoiler: it could not. The truck is now sleeping with the fishes, and the owner is sleeping in jail, hopefully far away from any large bodies of water or tech bros with big promises.It’s Idiot of the Week—where the stories are real, the choices are questionable, and the laughter is mandatory.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

When Your Rifle, Your Side Chicks, and Your Bowels All Betray You
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, where an officer accidentally shot another officer in a parking garage. A parking garage. The safest thing in a parking garage should be the cops, but apparently not today. We’re over here ducking behind concrete pillars like it’s a live‑action safety training video.Next up, a man gets into a crash and then decides the natural next step is to carjack the woman who stopped to help him. Because nothing says “thank you for your kindness” like “give me your car, ma’am.” We are exhausted.And finally, a shoplifting suspect was caught chugging Dulcolax like it was a sports drink. Baby, when your escape plan includes weaponizing your own digestive system, you have already lost.So who wins the coveted crown? The man with the rifle, the officer with the accidental aim, the crash‑and‑carjack king, or the Dulcolax Daredevil? We don’t know, but we do know this: humanity is out here competing with itself, and the bar is in the basement.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bear With Us, Gatorly Unwise, and Swamp‑Assisted Justice
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 car, Lunchable.” We are screaming, “Sir, this is not a petting zoo, this is a homicide in a fur coat.”Then we glide on down to Florida — spiritual home of the Idiot of the Week — where a man at an airboat attraction allegedly got bit in the face by an alligator. In. The. Face. And now he’s suing for $50K, which feels like the Groupon price for “I met a prehistoric murder‑log with teeth.” But you know what? We support self‑esteem, even when it’s delusional.But Louisiana said, “Hold my humidity.” A DUI suspect ran from deputies into a swamp, where an alligator rose up like a scaly hall monitor and said, “Oh, I’ll handle this.” The sheriff even issued a PSA: don’t drive impaired, don’t run from deputies, and DEFINITELY don’t hide in a swamp unless you want the wildlife to do a citizen’s arrest with their mouth.This week’s lesson: When humans act a fool, the animals step in like, “We’ll take it from here.”And honestly? We appreciate the backup.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Roaches, Roller Coasters & Radioactive Fish Energy
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 the police station, where an officer allegedly pulled a gun on another officer over microwaved fish. Let us be clear: reheating fish in a shared space is a crime against humanity, but pulling a firearm? Sir, that is not conflict resolution, that is a cry for HR.Next up: YouTuber Allen Ferrell, who managed to get himself banned from every Six Flags on Earth for eating chicken nuggets on a roller coaster. We have questions. Many questions. Starting with: how did he keep the dipping sauce from flying away at 90 mph?And finally, MAGA fans are big mad — ticked off, even — about a $640 Trump Watch that is missing the "T". Yes, a watch, for "Rump". We don’t know if it tells time or just vibrates with judgment, but we do know that if you’re spending rent money on butt‑tech, something in your life needs recalibration.So who will be the Idiot of the Week? Join us as we laugh, scream, and clutch our pearls while asking the eternal question: why are people like this.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bulldoze First, Think Never
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 machinery while hammered and headed straight for jail.Then we take to the skies — briefly — because a Qantas flight had to be diverted after a man bit a flight attendant. Sir, this is an airplane, not a petting zoo. Keep your teeth to yourself.Back on the ground in Florida (of course), a man called 911 because a strip club denied him sex. We repeat: he called emergency services because the dancers followed the law. Florida stays Florida-ing.And finally, we land in Georgia, where a Federal judge was reprimanded for having “loud sex” with a married police officer in her office. Ma’am. MA’AM. You are the law. You cannot also be the plot of a Cinemax after‑hours special.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Concrete, Canines & Catastrophes
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 going to be hard‑earned.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

High, Dry, and Dangling: A Masterclass in Bad Decisions
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 feet in the air because someone decided that the perfect moment to check their phone was while hurtling through space at rollercoaster speeds. Because nothing says “I value my life” like risking everyone’s safety for a blurry selfie.Next up: an airport traveler who thought they could casually stroll through security with 59 pounds of marijuana on their way to Europe. That’s not a carry‑on, that’s a career choice.And finally, another passenger tried to smuggle 31 exotic reptiles—including pythons and water dragons—onto a plane. Because apparently TSA is just supposed to ignore the fact that your pants are hissing.It’s a banner week for humanity, and by “banner” we mean “the bar is on the floor and somehow they still tripped over it.” Who will be the idiot of the week? Let's face it, they all deserve it!Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

The Wrong Organ, the Wrong Wall & the Wrong Escape Vehicle
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 vengeance is a lifestyle choice.Across the globe, a Chinese man lived eight years—EIGHT—with a chopstick lodged in his throat, which raises many questions and answers none. And finally, in Marion County, a criminal mastermind steals tools and makes his daring getaway… on a tricycle. Yes. A tricycle.Come listen, laugh, and remember: somewhere out there, an idiot is working overtime just for you.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

White is the new Black. . . People.
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. Yes, the institution that controls interest rates may now be chaired by someone who lives with Trump's hand in his vestibule.Vice President J.D. Vance announced that $1.3 billion in federal Medicaid reimbursements will be withheld from California, because nothing says “public service” like yanking healthcare funding from the people who need it most.Over at Homeland Security, the inspector general has launched an investigation into ICE’s $38 billion warehouse‑to‑detention pipeline, a program started under former DHS Secretary Kisti Noem, who apparently thought “industrial‑scale incarceration” was a fun arts‑and‑crafts project.And in a move that would make even the most shameless ethics lawyer weep into their coffee, Trump’s Justice Department is “discussing” whether to settle Trump’s own $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — an agency he oversees. Because why just blur the lines when you can set them on fire and dance on the ashes.Republican lawmakers in South Carolina, Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama, and Georgia continue their coordinated push to disenfranchise Black voters, proving once again that voter suppression is the one tradition they refuse to retire.Finally, during a late‑night Truth Social posting spree, Trump labeled former President Obama a “traitor,” a “demonic force,” and part of a coup — accusations that appear to be based on absolutely nothing except the fumes of his own insomnia.All that, plus the usual laughs, side‑eyes, and righteous rants.

Pants Optional, Brains Not Included
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. We said it before and we’ll say it again: Florida is not well, and neither are the people visiting it. We are talking about full‑on Weekend at Bernie’s: Swamp Edition.Then we head to New York, where a Judge had to dismiss a $100,000 lawsuit because somebody claimed a taqueria’s hot sauce was too spicy. Too spicy. For one hundred thousand American dollars. Let us tell you something: if your tongue is filing legal paperwork, the problem is not the sauce.Next up, we take a detour to North Carolina, where the Mayor is REFUSING to resign after allegedly showing up to a town hall pantsless. Pants. Less. And we’re supposed to just continue the meeting like this is a normal Tuesday. Sir, if your thighs are out, your term is over.And finally — because the universe insists on testing us — we ask the question no one wanted answered: would you use cadaver fat for a boob job or a butt lift? Because apparently some people already said yes. We are talking about From Beyond the Grave: The Cosmetic Edition. We didn’t need this information, but now we can’t unknow it.Strap in, pull up your pants, and grab your emotional support hot sauce. It’s gonna be a ride.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Barbie, Bots, Burnt Brows & Bye Grandma
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. Not a human being with a license and accountability. An AI chatbot. We have questions. We have SO many questions. Starting with: sir, where are you living RIGHT now?But wait — we're not done, because an arson suspect showed up to a police interview with singed eyebrows. SINGED. EYEBROWS. We cannot stress this enough — if you are suspected of setting a fire, perhaps arrive with your face fully intact. We're just saying.And finally, two family members got arrested at their own matriarch's funeral for brawling. At the funeral. Of their family member. We don't know what grandma did, but clearly she left some unfinished business — and apparently, so did her people.This week, stupid came dressed up, showed out, and forgot to think.

International Breakfast Fraud & Other Crimes Against Humanity
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 every child who has ever stepped on a brick barefoot.Then we head to Michigan, where a judge caught a woman driving during her Zoom court hearing. Not parked. Not pulled over. Driving. We are sitting there watching her try to explain herself and all we can say is: ma’am, this is a courtroom, not a carpool lane.Next stop: Florida — of course — where a woman is facing charges after calling 911 from inside a grocery store to report what she believed was an “international breakfast fraud.” We don’t know what that means, but we do know that if you’re calling emergency services over ham, you need to sit quietly with yourself and rethink your choices.And finally, we land in Oklahoma, where a man is accused of setting multiple grass fires because he “missed being a firefighter.” Sir. There are easier ways to reconnect with your past than committing the exact emergency you want to respond to. Therapy exists. Hobbies exist. Controlled burns supervised by professionals exist. But no — he said, “Let me light up the prairie like it’s a scented candle.”Join us as we laugh, cry, and ask the eternal question: why are people like this?Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Bus‑Stop Booty: This Week in Peak Stupid
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 driving backwards on the highway… with the same suspended license he’s habitually charged for. That’s not driving, that’s a cry for help and a physics experiment.Up in Georgia, a woman called 911 to report her “unruly passenger,” only for police to discover she was actually trying to rob said passenger. Ma’am, you cannot call the cops on someone for interrupting your crime.And finally, Detroit said “hold my bus pass.” Two DDOT employees were caught fondling each other and abandoning their active bus to go get romantic. Nothing says public service like leaving 40 people stranded so you can go make your own transfer.Strap in, babies—this week’s stupid is bold, messy, and deeply committed to its craft.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

If Waffle House says No, the Universe is Speaking
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 behavior” like carrying cellphones and drugs.Then we meet a man who called 911 twenty‑nine times because of a fast‑food dispute. Twenty‑nine. At that point, it’s not a dispute — it’s a lifestyle choice.Next up, James Fishbeck — a far‑right candidate for Governor in Florida — claims he was banned from both Waffle House and IHOP. We’re not saying that tells you everything you need to know, but if both of those establishments tap out on you, baby, you need to sit with yourself.And finally, we head overseas where a man spent three days stuck in a well because villagers thought his cries for help were ghostly wails. Look — we believe in respecting local traditions, but if someone is yelling “help,” maybe check before assuming it’s Casper.Join us as we laugh, sigh, and try to hold onto our last nerve while celebrating the resilience of humanity… and the absolute chaos some people insist on bringing to it.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

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 without the speed, the skill, or the sobriety.Then we glide—motorized shopping cart and all—into a Wal‑Mart where a woman on meth allegedly treated the store like her own personal all‑you‑can‑eat Vegas buffet. Sushi, cinnamon rolls, and wine. On a cart. While rolling. Through Wal‑Mart. We’re not saying it’s a cry for help, but it is definitely a Yelp review waiting to happen.Next up, a man who called 911 five times in one hour because he needed a ride to his girlfriend’s house. Sir. Sweetheart. Baby. That is not what 911 is for. That is what Uber is for. Or walking. Or rethinking your life choices.And finally, we close with a 79‑year‑old woman who allegedly got so drunk she decided to punch a cop in the face. At seventy‑nine. At that age, you’re supposed to be punching bingo cards, not law enforcement.Join us as we honor these brave, bold, breathtakingly misguided individuals who remind us every week that common sense is not only uncommon—it may be extinct. Grab your beverage, grab your patience, and come laugh with us before the world tries to take us down with it.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Gravity, Gin, and Great Balls of Stupid
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 the math ain’t mathing… but the math is absolutely not mathing.Then we head to Pennsylvania, where a man attempted to kill spiders by setting multiple fires, which shockingly resulted in… wait for it… a fire. Homes damaged, spiders unbothered, and one man who clearly needed to sit down and ask himself, “Is this who I want to be in the world?”Meanwhile, near Atlanta, a child brought a martini to school. A martini. Not a juice box, not a Capri Sun — a full cocktail. And now police are asking parents to double‑check lunchboxes, because apparently we’ve reached the point where kindergarteners are showing up like they’re on their third divorce.And finally, we wrap up in North Carolina, where a rancher found himself in a showdown with a spinning car wash and a whole lot of fencing wire. But instead of panicking, he brought the kind of calm, joyful energy we wish we could bottle. If only everyone faced disaster with that level of “Welp, guess this is happening.”Join us as we laugh, sigh, and lovingly roast the week’s finest foolishness — because somebody has to hold the line for common sense, and it might as well be us.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Florida Man, Fertility Vents & the Hammer of Nope
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 blue cars—just white ones. Because nothing says “I have a plan” like selective vehicular vengeance.Then we slide right into the job market, where some applicants are apparently opening their cold emails with the phrase, “my name is in the Epstein files.” We don’t know if this is a bold strategy, a cry for help, or someone misunderstanding what “stand out from the crowd” means, but we are holding them gently in the light while also begging them to stop.Next up: a Florida inmate who allegedly used an air vent to get pregnant. An air vent. We have questions. Many questions. None of them have answers that will bring us peace.And finally, a woman accused of using ChatGPT to research her murders. Not her taxes. Not her recipes. Not her resume. Her murders. We are tired. We are concerned. We are laughing because the alternative is screaming into a throw pillow.Through it all, we bring the compassion, the righteous side‑eye, and the kind of laughter that makes you wonder if you’re okay. (You are. Probably.)Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week?? Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

Chicken-Scented Chaos and the Thermos of Regret
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 feels like someone discovering water is wet and immediately calling their lawyer.Then we head to Colorado, where a man who stole two English Bulldog puppies has been sentenced to eight years in prison. Eight years! We love justice, but we also need to know what those puppies look like because we suspect they could get anyone to commit a misdemeanor.Next, we take a detour into the world of “documentaries,” where the creators of the film, Melania, allegedly stole an Oscar-nominated score. Not borrowed. Not inspired by. Stole. Because nothing says “authentic storytelling” like swiping someone else’s music and hoping nobody notices.And finally—because Florida refuses to be outdone—a man tried to smuggle a thermos into jail by placing it in his rectum. A thermos. Not a key. Not a note. Not a tiny object. A thermos. We are sending love, light, and a very firm “no” to everyone involved.We bring the wit, the compassion, the side‑eye, and the laughter you need to survive a world where people keep making these choices.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Kookoo Land Is Kookoo‑ing HARD, Y’all!
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 Democrats have flipped NINE Republican‑held seats while the Republicans have flipped exactly zero, which is also the number of coherent statements coming out of their leadership meetings.Speaking of incoherent: the Senate Republicans rejected a war powers resolution to block President Trump, even though the reasons for attacking Iran change more often than a toddler’s favorite color. And now some Republicans are finally telling Representative Gonzales of Texas to drop out of his primary, which is wild because they usually love to support accused harrasers.Then we get to the Big Tech “pledge,” which Trump apparently signed to cover data‑center electricity costs. We are asking the important legal question: Is a pledge even a thing? Or is it just a pinky swear with paperwork?Also in today’s parade of nonsense: Karoline Leavett attacked Kaitlin Collins for the crime of… reporting military deaths. As in, reporting them at all. We cannot make this up. Kookoo Land is writing its own satire at this point.But wait—hold our emotional support beverages—because the bird‑legged ho is OUT! The Secretary of Homeland Security is being replaced, but apparently she gets to keep her official homeland- security- Ad-horse. We have questions. Many. None answered.And finally, the most important news of the week: Who is watching “Hit Me Baby One More Time” Brittany?! Because in Kookoo Land, every headline is wilder than the last—and you deserve the whole delicious mess.Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

Crimes of Passion, Crimes of Stupidity, and Crimes Against Squirrels
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. We have… rabies pamphlets.Then we move on to a man who managed to stay on the run for sixteen years—only to get caught because he just had to show up at the Olympics. Sir. Sweetie. Baby. You evaded law enforcement for almost two decades and then said, “But my team needs me”? That’s not patriotism. That’s stupidity with a flag on it.Next up: an Ohio Senate candidate who decided to fund his campaign by stealing from the Fraternal Order of Police. Let’s pause. Let’s breathe. Let’s appreciate the sheer audacity of robbing the people whose literal job is “catching people who rob.” This is not a campaign. This is a cry for help.And finally, a Maryland couple caught in the act at an Applebee’s parking lot—not in Florida, which frankly feels like a missed branding opportunity. We’re not judging the romance; we’re judging the location. Because nothing says “take me now” like the glow of a half‑priced apps sign and the faint smell of microwaved spinach artichoke dip.Join us as we break it all down with love, laughter, and the deep, abiding belief that humanity will always find new ways to disappoint—and entertain—us.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Pickleball Thunderdome
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 detailed it could’ve been a PowerPoint… if they could spell. And you know what, we’re not judging — we’ve all had a dream we couldn’t spell.Then we slide over to New Jersey, where a man called the police — not to confess, not to apologize, not even to negotiate — but to brag about escaping a police chase. Sir. Sweetheart. Pumpkin. If you have to call the cops to tell them you got away… you did not get away.Next up, Florida said, “Hold my cinnamon roll,” and delivered a woman who took a joyride through Target with booze, sushi, and pastries like she was starring in her own personal episode of Supermarket Sweep: DUI Edition. And honestly, we salute the commitment to a theme. Booze, sushi, cinnamon rolls — that’s not a crime spree, that’s a vibe.And finally, we close with a Florida couple who turned a pickleball court into the Thunderdome, dragging over 20 people into a brawl so heated it probably raised the humidity. Because nothing says “love” like tag-teaming your neighbors over a plastic ball and a line call.Join us as we laugh, cry, pray, and ask the universe once again: Why are people like this? And more importantly…why are they like this in public????Wanna tip us?@frangeladuo -- Venmo$frangeladuo -- CashAppAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sir, Your Car Is On Fire & So Is Your Decision‑Making
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 errand real quick.” We are amazed, we are concerned, and we are deeply impressed by the level of denial required to ignore your own vehicle becoming a mobile bonfire.Then we meet a dynamic duo of dumb who tried to make off with stolen goods but left behind a trail — an actual, literal trail — that led police straight to their door. Hansel and Gretel walked so these fools could sprint.Next up, a woman who decided the perfect moment for a selfie was while standing next to a SNOW LEOPARD. A whole apex predator. A creature whose job description is “beautiful murder floof.” And she said, “Let me get my angles.” We cannot.And finally, a North Carolina man who broke into a Little Caesars not to steal money, not to vandalize, but to… make pizzas. And sell them. Out the back. Like some kind of illegal Hot‑N‑Ready speakeasy. We have questions. We have concerns. We also have to admire the entrepreneurial spirit, misguided though it may be.Join us as we laugh, sigh, pray, and marvel at the human condition — one terrible decision at a time.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Shell-Shocked, Sauced Up & Spiritually Stupid
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 active war zone. We’re talking Call of Duty: Colon Ops.Then we glide over to a 21‑year‑old man who stole a car… and then called the police because he wanted his personal items back from inside the car he stole. Baby, if you’re gonna be a criminal, you cannot also be a customer. Pick a lane.Next up, Florida—because of course. A man is now facing felony battery charges for throwing a ketchup packet at someone. A ketchup packet. We are out here ruining lives over condiments. This is why we can’t have nice things, like emotional regulation.And finally, China said, “Hold our herbal tea.” A man went to a cybercafé for acupuncture—already a choice—and ended up in the ICU with punctured lungs. Sir… acupuncture is not a DIY project. If your acupuncturist is also rebooting the Wi‑Fi, that’s your sign to leave.Join us as we break down the chaos, uplift the foolish, and ask the eternal question: Why? Just… why?Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week?? Become a Frangela patron at Patreon.com and get three exclusive Micro Idiot podcasts each week as our thank you for your support.

The Bag Said ‘Not Drugs,’ The Universe Said ‘Bet
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 contraband like it’s a middle‑school science project is not the criminal mastermind energy the moment requires.Then we slide—unwillingly—into the story of a man who inserted a live leech into his bladder as a “folk remedy.” For what ailment? We don’t know. We don’t WANT to know. What we do know is that if your medical plan includes “insert wildlife,” you need to log off the internet and call literally any adult.Next up, Kentucky said, “Hold my moonshine,” because a man woke up during his organ harvesting procedure. Yes, you heard us. Woke. Up. During. The. Harvest. He was supposed to be dead, y’all. Supposed to be! We are officially out of words, but not out of side‑eye.And finally, we take a scenic detour with a bus driver who decided that schedules, routes, and basic employment expectations were merely suggestions. Instead of taking passengers to their destination, this driver took them on an unsanctioned mystery tour. Because nothing says “public transit” like being kidnapped at 25 miles per hour.Join us as we laugh, cry, clutch our pearls, and try—TRY—to understand how these people are out here living free while we’re still afraid to jaywalk.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Raccoons, Resurrection Mix‑Ups & Whatever This Lancaster Situation Is
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 “vacation” like volunteering as tribute in a live‑action remake of Nope.Then we slide over to StubHub, which apparently took a heavy metal band and a Christian spiritual about the birth of Jesus, threw them both in a blender, and hit “mystery smoothie.” They apologized… ish. We’re still trying to figure out how you confuse “Silent Night” with “Scream Until Your Eyeballs Bleed,” but okay.Next up, a 38‑year‑old man who said, “I may be drunk, but I can still cosplay as law enforcement.” Spoiler: he could not. Charges were pressed, dignity was not.And because the week wasn’t unhinged enough, a hospital told a woman’s family she had “checked out,” when in fact she had passed away. We don’t know who needs to hear this, but death is not a Marriott rewards program.Finally, we arrive at Lancaster County, where a man was found with over 100 dead bodies. One hundred. We don’t even have jokes here. We’re just blinking. Hard.Join us as we process, roast, uplift, and pray for humanity—because clearly, we’re all on the struggle bus, and this week it’s missing several wheels.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Seventeen Shots, One Dollar, and Zero Sense
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 dignity.Then we slide on down to Louisiana, where a woman was found swimming naked in her neighbor’s pond because she was “trying to be a mermaid.” Listen, we support dreams, but maybe start with a tail from Party City before you go full free‑range Ariel.Next, we meet a woman who says she endured a seven‑year infection caused by her boyfriend’s foul fart. Seven. Years. We don’t know what that man was eating, but we need the CDC, FEMA, and a priest on standby.And finally, a man trying to hide a firearm from a police officer managed to shoot himself, while his so‑called “friends” were inside the bank attempting to cash a forged check. That’s not a friend group—that’s a group project gone wrong.It’s chaos, it’s comedy, it’s humanity at its most… creative. Come laugh, scream, and question every life choice with us.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

AI Scams, Naked Hobby Lobby Sprints & Other Signs the Simulation Is Glitching
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 man of her dreams — proving once again that AI may not take our jobs, but it will take our wedding venues.Meanwhile in Ohio, a man wanted in two cities attempts to hide from police in the back of a van with — wait for it — tinted windows and a mysterious white, rock‑like substance. Because if you’re going to be a fugitive, why not also be a walking episode of Cops.And finally, Florida strikes again when a butt‑naked man sprints into a Hobby Lobby, sending shoppers fleeing like the Mod Podge aisle had come alive.It’s a full‑course meal of mayhem, mess, and magnificent idiocy — just the way Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

2026: And the Idiocy Begins!
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 Avenger. Next up is Kourtney Stevenson, who pepper‑sprayed a food delivery but swears she was aiming at a spider, because apparently arachnids now require riot‑control tactics. And finally, an Altadena man discovered a 500‑pound bear living under his house… and DID NOT run away.Who will be crowned the very first Idiot of the Week of 2026?

Happy Holidays! | Best of IOTW | There's Always Time For Panties
There's Always Time For PantiesThis 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 surgeon who thought, “You know what would really spice up my medical career? Performing my own vasectomy and broadcasting it on Facebook.” Then there’s Stacy Lynn Steady, who might just inspire the next great country song with her attempt to flee the police while ignoring the golden rule of evasion: there’s always time for panties. And finally, a 31-year-old who swallowed his rosary beads because he believed Satan’s disciples were tailing him on an American Airlines flight. Let’s just say, this is not the kind of in-flight entertainment anyone signed up for.Who will claim the crown of idiocy this week?

Drone Deliveries, Baby Bullets, & Karen Complaints
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 insurance fraud after torching his own property—sir, that is not how you remodel. And in New Jersey, a woman tried to sue a theme park because kids called her a “Karen”… ma’am, if the shoe fits, maybe don’t litigate it. Who will be crowned Idiot of the Week?

Rabid Raccoons & Fabergé Fools
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, that’s a cautionary tale. And finally, a man attempted to steal a Fabergé egg by swallowing it… because nothing says “master criminal” like turning yourself into a very expensive Kinder Surprise.

Mayonnaise, Moonshine & Monumental Mistakes
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 very pickup truck he was allegedly trying to steal from—sir, if you can’t even exit the crime scene, maybe rethink your career path. And in Germany, a man managed to wedge himself inside a six‑foot‑tall vagina sculpture, because art imitates life and life imitates… stupidity. Who will take home the crown of Idiot of the Week? Frangela is here to laugh, scream, and side‑eye their way through the madness, because these fools are working overtime.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Parks & Pizza
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 evengood pizza. A UK couple bulldozes a national park to build their dream home. Because nothing says “cozy” like environmental destruction and prison time.A suspected drunk driver crashes through an Ulta Beauty in Royal Oak, MI. We don’t know if it was a cry for help or a misguided quest for lip gloss.And finally, we ask: how does a woman go missing for seven years only to be found steps from her home? Something ain’t right, and somebody’s got some explaining to do.Tune in for the laughs, the outrage, and the side-eye as Frangela crowns this week’s reigning fools.

Dear Diary, I’m Stupid | Best Of
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 into the absurd with a 79-year-old ice skater who took a solo spin on a lake that wasn’t frozen—honey, the only thing chilling here is your bad decision-making! And who could forget the Minnesota delivery driver who got caught red-handed in the car theft game—except she wrote in her diary, “Totally stole a car today!” Sweetie, who’s the genius here?Oh, and last but definitely not least, we’ve got the "brilliant" scientist who thought he could outsmart the law. After calling the cops to report a burglary at his illegal meth lab, he learned the hard way that crime and science don’t mix.So, darling, is it the snakes, the skater, the thief, or the meth lab magician? There’s only one way to find out! Subscribe, download, and listen now to Idiot of the Week—because sometimes, the only thing you can do is laugh!Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Chickens & Chainsaws = Stupid
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 are left with questionable braces after discovering their provider wasn’t even licensed. Dental DIY is not a thing, people.And finally, a man declares war on a bear after it steals his brand-new chainsaw. Sir, the bear won. The bear always wins.Tune in as we crown this week’s reigning idiots, laugh until it hurts, and remind you once again: stupidity is undefeated.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Tidal Trauma, Vehicular Betrayal, Lawn Drama, and Classroom Chaos
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 their own car. We don’t know how, we don’t know why, but we do know that the car said, “I’m tired of your foolishness.”Next, a Florida woman spent a week in jail over brown grass. Yes, her HOA snitched, and yes, this is why people move to the woods and never come back.And finally, a New Jersey teacher accused of taping a student’s head to a desk has officially given up teaching. We call that “retiring before the lawsuit hits.”So, who will win the crown of Idiot of the Week? Tune in, laugh loud, and judge harder than your HOA president with a clipboard and a grudge.Because this week’s foolishness is high tide, high drama, and high-key ridiculous.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Flirting with Fire, Fighting Roaches, and Minty DUI Madness
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 on fire. It’s giving “Roach 1, Human 0.”Next, a naked woman trashed a Florida restaurant, and honestly? That’s just called Tuesday in Tampa.And finally, a DUI suspect tried to pop breath mints to avoid arrest. Sir, unless those mints come with a time machine, you’re still going to jail.So who will take home the coveted crown of Idiot of the Week? Tune in, laugh loud, and judge harder than your aunt at Thanksgiving.Because the foolishness is fresh, and the fire is literal.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

It’s Giving: Melee and Stupid
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 an ambulance and said, “That’s my Uber now.” Spoiler: it was not.Next, a mom turned a plane into a hostage situation because her daughter wasn’t ready to leave. Ma’am, this is Frontier, not daycare.And finally, a woman bought a set of knives and immediately used them to express her feelings. We call that retail therapy gone rogue.Tune in, laugh loud, and judge harder than your grandma at a family reunion. Because the foolishness is fresh, and the title is up for grabs.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bomb Threats & Bad Decisions
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 get helped fast enough. Sis, this is not how we escalate. That’s not a complaint—it’s a felony with a side of foolish.Next, we dive into the horror show of a man who was killed by his “pet” black widow spider. And trust us, the story gets worse. Like, “why would you even do that?” worse. Like, “did you think it was a puppy?” worse.And finally, the robbery suspect who was caught because he walked behind a news crew doing a segment about... wait for it... him. Sir. You had one job: not to cameo in your own manhunt. Tune in for the stupid because they deserve it.So join us, won’t you, as we celebrate the absolute Olympic-level stupidity of the human race—because if we don’t laugh at it, we might have to admit we live among it.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Tampon Turf Wars, Airport Mayhem, and the Credit Card Caper
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 undertones.Then we head to a Speedway gas station where two women threw hands, lost hair, and left their dignity somewhere between pump 3 and the snack aisle. It was giving WWE meets “I said what I said.”Next, a Sun Country flight had to be diverted because one passenger decided to scream “THE PLANE IS GOING DOWN!” mid-flight. Sir, this is not your audition for Snakes on a Plane. Sit down and sip your ginger ale.And finally, a man tried to pay his towing fees at the police station with a stolen credit card. At the police station. Where the police are. Watching you. With cameras. And a whole database of stolen stuff.Frances and Angela are fired up and ready to drag, roast, and laugh through the chaos. Who will take home the crown of Idiot of the Week?

Fart Spray Felonies, Billion-Dollar Checks, and the Squirrel from Hell
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 students, a hazmat response, and $55,000 in damages. That’s not a joke—that’s a felony with a side of Febreze.Then we head to California, where one community is being held hostage by a “mean” squirrel. Yes, a squirrel. This tiny terrorist is biting, chasing, and generally acting like it’s auditioning for a horror movie called Nut Job.Next, a Florida man tried to cash a fraudulent check—for $368 billion. Billion. With a B. Sir, you couldn’t even get away with $368 at a gas station, but you thought the bank would just hand over the GDP of a small country?And finally, we meet Phil, the alleged originator of extreme ironing. That’s right—he climbs mountains, surfs waves, and skydives... with an ironing board. Because apparently, gravity and common sense are optional.Frances and Angela are here to roast, rank, and revel in the ridiculous. Tune in for the sass, the side-eye, and the crowning of this week’s one true Idiot of the Week. Because stupidity never sleeps—and neither do we.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Emotional Support Gator, Flaming Pants, and the Accidental Rapture
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 we head to Florida—because of course we do—where a lawyer’s pants literally caught on fire during a trial defending an alleged arsonist. We don’t know if it was karma, irony, or divine comedy, but it was definitely stupid.Next, a drug-sniffing dog visiting a middle school found cocaine in a teacher’s wallet. That’s right—while the kids were learning fractions, Ms. Cocaine was carrying controlled substances like it was a field trip souvenir.And finally, we ask the question on everyone’s mind: did we just miss the Rapture? Because between the gators, the flames, and the powdered wallets, it’s giving Book of Revelations energy.Tune in, because stupidity never sleeps—and Idiot of the Week is always watching.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Mushroom Hikes, Barbie Rides, and the Twerk Heard ’Round Staffordshire
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. That’s not a spiritual journey, that’s a taxpayer-funded babysitting session.Then we head to British Columbia, where a man was ticketed for driving a pink Barbie Jeep while impaired. Sir, if you’re gonna break the law, at least do it in a vehicle that can hit 10 mph.Next, we meet a woman in Staffordshire who misunderstood “family fun day” and stripped down to her bra to twerk—for an hour. Ma’am, this was not Fun Day After Dark. There were toddlers. There were juice boxes. There were regrets.And finally, a scuba-suited man pulled off a robbery at a Disney Springs restaurant. That’s right—he came for the cash dressed like he was auditioning for Finding Nemo: The Heist. So, who will take home the crown of Idiot of the Week? Tune in as Frances and Angela break it all down. Because stupidity is forever, and Frangela is here to document it.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
