—The Idiots do a little victim blaming, because my God… Why would you ever hire a “Life Coach” to tell you what to do?


A completely untrained, unregulated nitwit with no special skills who gladly takes as much of your money as you’re willing to give.


Even better, a life coach can be someone who failed out of (or was fired from) another profession: therapy.


(Note: therapists are a favorite topic for Jake, so we linger here a wile.)


Anyway, Jodi Hildebrandt was an Utah-based therapist who felt to constrained by all the rules and regulations Big Gubment held over her, so she became a life coach.


Currently in prison after being convicted of abusing two children, she bilked people like Ethan Prete out of thousands of dollars. 


Thing is, if you’re dumb enough to listen to an un-credentialed Life Coach, ya kinda deserve to lose your money.


Chances are, you weren’t going to do anything smart with it anyway.


—Without meaning to, the Idiots segue into people so bereft of common sense, they join a cult. 


Jake begins by bringing up Dancing for the Devil, the new documentary on Netflix that covers a TikTok trend, and then it moves to David Koresh and the Branch Davidians in Waco, and MAGA Trumpers. 


Following that, R. Derek Black is discussed, because of the wonderful prank she played on her racist father.


(Spoiler alert, her dad is Don Black, founder of Stormfront, the hate-site visited by intellectually-challenged mouth-breathers, and she was born he, and transitioned.)


Side note: Hawk Tuah girl Katie Vickers is discussed in this segment.


—Democrats are in the upcoming election to lose it. Instead of hammering home solid talking points, they’re spending $50 million on an advertising campaign to tell people Donald J. Trump is a convicted felon.


Which, as we all know, is something no one cares about.


At all.


Sure, they could hammer home his Supreme Court picks, three liars who said they believe in Roe v. Wade, or the border crisis Republicans are fueling, as they didn’t vote on the legislation they wrote, but why try that?


—Injustice moves fast in Russia. 


A few weeks ago, the Idiots discussed Staff Sgt. Gordon Black, a United States solider who was in an… “interesting” (read contentious) relationship with a Russian woman.


Black followed her to Russia, where, OF COURSE he was arrested. 


Well, he was tried and thrown in jail, because who could have ever seen this happening, except everyone.


Hey, here’s an idea: don’t go to Russia.


Anyone.


Especially U.S. soldiers. 


Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.


Tune in and get your giggle on.
