The McGonigal Podcast

Christmas music sucks. Christmas movies are overrated. Being alone for the holidays might actually be a superpower. From offensive holiday songs and bad Christmas movies to Epstein photos, Hitler rumors, Amazon insanity, fetish culture, Andy Dick, moon-landing conspiracies, and why America feels permanently broken — this episode spirals fast and never recovers.

It’s inappropriate, unfiltered, politically incorrect, and absolutely pointless in the best way possible. You’ve been warned.
NPR for Dummies.

Welcome back to America’s Stupidest Podcast, where the topics make no sense and the host makes even less. In Episode 40, Ed is joined by Eddie Gallagher of Kricket Comedy and comedian Steve Bickel, and the three of them spiral into 38 minutes of funeral trends, giant basketball mutants, dog names, sexy librarians (spoiler: none exist), mac-and-cheese apple pie, and why Gwyneth Paltrow might need hazmat suits in her guest room.

If you came here for intelligent conversation… brother, you clicked the wrong video.
If you came here for chaos, bad opinions, and jokes that should never be w...

We’re back, and somehow the bar keeps getting lower. This week, Ed’s joined by America’s Funniest Handyman Tommy Highland and the mayor of bad ideas himself, John Kensil from Kensil Culture. Together they break down life’s most pressing issues — like hecklers who belong in the stocks, Daylight Saving Time (a government scam that ruins everyone’s sleep), and mob documentaries that make the Sopranos look like Sesame Street.

From Philly parade disasters and Nikki Glaser’s SNL mess to hemorrhoid-cream instructions, “influencers” who shouldn’t exist, and Fonzie literally jumping a shark — this episode covers everyth...

The dumbest show in America is back.

Ed McGonigal and the crew tackle the NBA’s insane gambling scandal, mob conspiracies, and a new wave of stupidity from AI sex dolls to “smart toilets” that analyze your poop. They debate fat soldiers, Chinese honey traps, slut conventions, and whether comedians should take Saudi money.

It’s pure chaos — politics, pop culture, and nonsense — all delivered with Philly sarcasm and zero common sense.

🎙️ The McGonigal Podcast — America’s stupidest podcast. Think NPR for dummies.

It’s Episode 37 of America’s Stupidest Podcast — The McGonigal Podcast!

Ed McGonigal returns with guests Chris Dolan and Paul Carson for a chaotic ride through Columbus Day culture wars, senior citizens snorting coke, Taylor Swift’s new “Wood,” Halloween month hysteria, and why The Rock is not an actor.

Smart dumb comedy from Philly’s finest idiots.
Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unnecessary — but hilarious.

🎙️ Hosted by Ed McGonigal — America’s Least Favorite Entertainer.

It’s America’s stupidest podcast — think NPR for dummies. Ed McGonigal returns with comedians Roger Weaver and Jason Hazelwood to roast the week: Jimmy Kimmel’s five-day “national crisis,” a Saudi Arabian comedy festival, Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl, biscuits-and-gravy strip-club nights, rapture rumors, conjoined-twins marriage questions, Colonel Sanders’ “secret recipe,” Baywatch’s reboot, Denise Richards making sandwiches for Charlie’s guests, and why it costs $60 just to park at an Eagles game.

Stick around for Publishers Clearing House going bust, longevity drugs, and a Robert Redford tribute.

It’s America’s stupidest podcast—NPR for dummies. Ed McGonigal sits down with comics Andy Nolan, Mike, and Jim Cohen for a free-for-all on getting older (and not feeling it), prepaid funerals and cremation, horny retirement homes, $60 Eagles parking, that “Eagles fans have the most STDs” headline, naked comedy shows, trash-man horror stories, a supposed UFO that shrugged off a missile, police “grappler” car-stoppers, Starbucks closures, pumpkin-spice everything, Michael Irvin’s million-dollar move, and the joy (??) of prostate exams.

Recorded live September 15, 2025. Rated E for… obviously.

From an “outbreak” of dildos at WNBA games to Sydney Sweeney somehow being linked to Nazis, the McGonigal Podcast delivers another masterclass in America’s dumbest conversations. Ed McGonigal and crew tackle absurd news, legendary sports announcer fantasies, Marv Albert in a Hannibal Lecter mask, and why jeans commercials are now political statements. It’s NPR for dummies — proudly stupid since day one.
