The McGonigal Podcast

Welcome to Episode 58 of **The McGonigal Podcast — America's Stupidest Podcast!**Ed is joined by stand-up comedians **Josh Ryan and Dan Clark** for an hour of completely ridiculous conversations. The guys get into the...

Ed McGonigal is joined by Roger Weaver and Paul Carson for Episode 57 of The McGonigal Podcast — otherwise known as America’s Stupidest Podcast and NPR for Dummies. This week, the guys somehow get from a botched execution in Tennessee to whether executions should be livestreamed like sporting events. From there, it’s Diddy’s reported VIP treatment behind bars, Drake Maye and the moon landing, adul...

Bob Marsdale and Seamus Millar join Ed for a week where apparently normal news has been discontinued. Travis Kelce turns up as a victim in a massive Ponzi scheme, Sydney Sweeney’s new sports ad starts another internet fight, AI keeps getting smarter and dumber at the same time, self-driving cars create questions nobody thought we’d need to answer, and phones now cost enough that you apparently nee...

America’s Stupidest Podcast is back, and apparently America spent the last two weeks trying to provide the material. Ed McGonigal is joined by Andy Nolan and Roger Weaver to figure out how Michigan got another second against Western Michigan, why people are rallying outside the Lindsay Clancy trial, what happened with 49ers owner Jed York in Ohio, why the U.S. Open smells like weed, and why ICE ap...

Ryan Rinz and Steve Kain join Ed McGonigal for another round of America's Stupidest Podcast.

Roger Weaver and Dave Primiano join Ed McGonigal to discuss LeBron James and Jaylen Brown coming to Philadelphia, Tony Romo’s OWI arrest, the WNBA’s relationship controversy, rogue artificial intelligence, Shane Gillis at Lincoln Financial Field and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey . They also take on Howard Stern, superhero fatigue, political memoirs, pumpkin spice, social-media sympathy and sever...

Paul Carson and Steve Kain join Ed McGonigal for Episode 52—and this one definitely earns the name The Cuckoo Episode. The conversation jumps from Saquon Barkley’s home invasion and Canadian wildfire smoke to Taco Bell lettuce, a man being launched into the air by a Yellowstone bison, a massive shark, gas-station enhancement pills and a Mountain Dew rescue attempt inside a porta-potty. The room so...

Ed McGonigal is back with Episode 51 of The McGonigal Podcast, America’s Stupidest Podcast, joined by comedians Peggy O’Leary and Ryan Rinz. This episode starts with Scottish soccer fans somehow drinking Boston out of beer, World Cup tourists discovering Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, ranch dressing, and American tipping culture. From there, Ed, Peggy, and Ryan get into the nightmare of streaming sports...

We somehow made it to Episode 50. Somebody really should have stopped us by now. Chris Dolan and Dave Primiano return to celebrate this historic achievement—or investigate how it was allowed to happen. We begin with the news that YouTube finally noticed our stupid podcast and removed one of our clips. Apparently, I can be canceled despite never being activated. We also discuss the celebrity bandwa...

Welcome to another exercise in absolute intellectual bankruptcy on The McGonigal Podcast, proudly retaining our title as America’s Stupidest Podcast. In Episode 49, host Ed McGonigal brings his trademark "NPR for Dummies" dry wit to bear on the complete collapse of modern societal standards. Joined by local stand-up comedy legend Roger Weaver and the organizational brains behind Die Laug...

Ed McGonigal, Dave Primiano and Andy Nolan spiral through government surveillance, UFO conspiracies, Trump assassination theories, Epstein’s magically appearing suicide note, and why every idiot in America suddenly thinks speakerphone conversations belong in public.

Snowed out for six weeks and we come back swinging. We talk kung fu robots, strip clubs disguised as coffee shops, Olympic athletes burning through 10,000 condoms, Stephen Hawking conspiracy energy, pajama pants in public, Stormy Daniels doing stand-up, and why billionaires still use strip mall rub maps. America is cooked. If this is the future, we deserve it. From AI fake Tom Cruise fights to Chi...

Ed is joined by Chris Dolan and Roger Weaver

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, poli...

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 h...

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...

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 P...

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 hila...

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...

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 “gra...
