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.
