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.
