    Hecklers, Mobsters & Hemorrhoid Cream | The McGonigal Podcast 39

    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 everything wrong with America… and a few things right with sarcasm. It’s crude, it’s chaotic, and it’s probably evidence in a future lawsuit.The McGonigal Podcast — NPR for Dummies.

    36: Kimmel’s “Crisis,” Saudi Comedy Fest, Conjoined Twins, $60 Eagles Parking

    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.👉 Best comment wins a T-shirt Chapters 00:00 – Intro: America’s Stupidest Podcast 00:26 – Kimmel’s 5-day “national crisis” 03:57 – Late-night TV decline & streaming 07:09 – Saudi Arabia Comedy Festival?! 13:17 – Bad Bunny & the Super Bowl 17:37 – Biscuits & gravy night at the club 21:33 – Unskippable toilet-paper ads 23:26 – Rapture rumors & doomsday misses 26:23 – Conjoined twins marriage: the internet’s Qs 33:08 – Colonel Sanders’ nephew & the 11 herbs 36:00 – Sixers owner chatter & AI talking to the dead 38:12 – Movie prices, Eagles parking & NFL greed 43:43 – Publishers Clearing House bankruptcy 48:55 – Longevity drugs & National Guard talk 54:06 – Flags at half-mast bit 57:02 – Baywatch reboot & Denise Richards’ sandwiches 59:35 – Vegas tourism slide & Redford tribute 01:01:12 – Wrap-up & plugs
