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.

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.
