Megyn Kelly: Everything You Didn’t Know About Her Sh*tty Past

Hysteria | July 27, 2026



In our 44th episode of This F*cking Guy, Erin and Alyssa analyze the evolution of the clout-chasing chameleon, Megyn Kelly. From her fiery takes and fake*ass feminist days at Fox News, to being humbled by her racist takes at her NBC Morning show, to entering her villain era, launching her alt-right podcast and transforming into a human guitar riff, this may just be our most self-serving psycho guy, yet!

    Although I am not surprised at the revelations about MK I am surprised at the cattyness expressed you hosts so repeatedly here.

    BS
    Than what do call Black people’s wearing blond wigs and bleaching and straightening their hair or straight-haired people curling or perming their hair.
    The black-face agenda is contrived and dishonest

    47:17 Demographic awareness that Spanish speakers would form a large and growing portion of the 21st-century population crystallized during the late 1970s and 1980s, driven by sharp increases in immigration and modern census tracking. Formal demographic studies and government projections began mapping this substantial growth around 1978 to 1983, coinciding with a 233% surge in U.S. Spanish speakers. This didn't sneak up on anybody.

    Before English-speaking colonists established dominance, hundreds of Indigenous languages were spoken, and early European settlements included substantial populations speaking German, Dutch, French, and Spanish.

    Historical Language Diversity

    Indigenous Lands: Countless Native American languages served as the original tongues across the continent before colonization.

    Early European Communities: Large pockets of German speakers existed in Pennsylvania and the Midwest, Dutch speakers in New York, and Spanish speakers in regions like the Southwest.

    Multilingual Founding Era: During the founding of the U.S., languages other than English were common, and some early state documents or constitutions were printed in German or French alongside English. Eighth U.S. President Martin Van Buren even grew up speaking Dutch as his first language.

    And last, but not least…

    Speaking multiple languages gives the brain a powerful workout that improves specific mental skills like focus, problem-solving, and memory.

    Cognitive Strengths

    Better Focus: Multilingual people are skilled at ignoring distractions and filtering out irrelevant information because their brains constantly practice choosing one language while holding back another.

    Mental Flexibility: Switching between different rules and structures helps people solve complex problems and adapt to new tasks faster.

    Stronger Memory: Juggling multiple vocabularies boosts working memory, making it easier to store and recall information.

    Long-Term Brain Health

    Delayed Aging: Recent brain-scan research shows that speaking multiple languages can make the brain look biologically younger—by up to six years for two languages and up to thirteen years for four languages.

    Protection Against Disease: Knowing and using more than one language helps build cognitive reserve, which can delay the symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's disease by four to five years.

    To summarize, Megyn Kelly is a human being cosplaying as a dumpster fire.

    36:10 Megyn Kelly apologized in 2018 and was 47 years old at the time. Seriously imagine being that old 60+ years into the age of information, being a "news" anchor most of your career, and not being aware of the history of blackface in the USA. Yes, the USA is a demonstrably a failed experiment in democracy at this point. And yes, the modern GOP is to blame. Happy Almost 250th!

    I was seriously enjoying this until the cliche use of “Karen” – it’s so old now it’s almost as bad as the new fad for “giving”. Plus my name is Karen and I certainly don’t want to be compared to Megyn Kelly

    I’m a 77-yr old boomer who really appreciates the humor & intelligence of your podcast. My sassy, smart, sexy, kind & beautiful daughter turned me on to your podcast a few years ago. Unfortunately we lost her
    in 2024 to colorectal cancer at 47. My heart is broken but listening to you both reminds me of her & how much she influenced me & gave me admiration & love for her generation. The next generations are always the hope of the world. Love you both❤

    24:18 🤣🤣

    It doesn't take AI to know this, but since Fox News claimed for so many years to be a "news" organization this is fun to read. (From Google's AI):

    No, Jesus was not white. He was a first-century Middle Eastern Jew from the region of Galilee and Judea.

    Historical and Biblical Context

    Ancestry: As a Semitic person living in the Levant, Jesus descended from ancient Israelites.

    Appearance: He likely had olive-brown or medium-brown skin, dark brown or black hair, and brown eyes, typical of people from that area.

    No Physical Description: The Bible does not record Jesus' height, eye color, or skin tone. The text in Isaiah 53:2 only suggests he had an ordinary appearance that did not stand out.

    Why is He Depicted as White?

    European Art: During the Renaissance and later eras, European artists painted Jesus to look like their own local populations.

    Cultural Tradition: Different cultures around the world have historically portrayed Jesus to match their own ethnic groups.

    Global Spread: Western colonization and media helped spread the image of a white Jesus globally.

    I want you to really imagine being an adult human being whose job it is to be factual and being this wrong publicly. 🤣🤣

    20:55 History will view this response literally like a human being saying, "That's why unicorns came." These were grown adults, never forget. Will be of note when people are studying the failed experiment in democracy that is the USA.

    Thanks so much ladies! Really enjoy this podcast. Will miss Alyssa very much. You two have great chemistry together. This podcast is similar thematically to Robert Evans’ “Behind the Bastards” podcast. Both invaluable for shining a light on those miscreants of our national culture. Sad & scary for how many there are, but valuable nonetheless.
    Maybe another kind of podcast for balancing out the darkness is one about true courageous & compassionate people from all walks of life & not necessarily celebrities but not ignoring them either. One such person is Paul Farmer, co-founder of “Partners in Health.” There’s a documentary on this organization called “Bending the Arc.” Just a thought. Balance is the way.

    Hehe Megyn is and idiot. When she dismiss 40 million people, that is like dismissing 18% of the country's workforce.
    My question to Megyn: What would you do if you lost 18% of the workforce? You know that in 2-3 years the BNP/GDP will. drop, right?
    You understand that in 5 years everyone would be porer, right? You understand that this imight bring a second depression right. You understand that this is not a very good idea, right?

    I take it that Miss Megyn Kelly does not like Hispanics at all? Could she fear Racial Replacement or even a WASP. like white Supremacist?
    Note: WASP. > White Anglo Saxon Protestant.
