What REALLY Happens When the TSA Gets Weird | 6/13/25

Keith Malinak, Brad & Rebecca take Friday off the rails with TSA rants, driving dogs, and unfiltered insanity.

It’s Friday, and Keith Malinak is back with Brad Staggs and Rebecca for another round of At the Mic: Friday Happy Hour—your favorite chaos-infused comedy podcast for pop culture rants, political humor, and weird internet discoveries.

This week’s viral-ready insanity includes:
• The “100 Men vs Gorilla” debate (spoiler: no one’s surviving),
• TSA’s real plan behind DickTicklers.com (yes, it’s a real domain redirect),
• Whether federal agents should even have guns (spoiler: nope),
• The return of screw worms,
• And Rebecca’s baby name reveal that goes full Viking.

From driving dogs to actual government-mandated apple fines, this livestream gets spicy fast. Grab a drink, toss your seriousness out the window, and join the mayhem. It’s a happy hour podcast that really earned its name.
