Episode Description
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.
