On The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel starts the show talking about how nobody talks to the other side of the political spectrum. He also celebrates Riff Raff's birthday and talks about the wisdom that comes with age. Lionel later talks about seeing movies like Old Yeller or Cruising for the first time. He later has conversations with callers who frankly make no sense as he tries to parse through their stories. Lionel spends the third hour talking about learned helplessness, anti-terror measures in a post 9/11 world, communism and more. Lionel wraps up the show talking about two topics people say would be better left untouched: religion and politics. He later talks with callers about pottery, foiled abductions and capitalism.
