This episode delves into cultural shifts, lamenting the loss of "OG" toughness from childhood (no helmets, no training wheels) and critiquing modern safety trends like pool gloves and rodeo helmets. Lionel tackles politics, questioning the prospect of a "Mamdani mayoral ship" and the Governor's unprecedented power to remove a NYC mayor. Listen in for fascinating discussions on rhetoric, negotiation, and human "tells"—including car sales techniques where "whoever talks first loses", professional profiling at dealerships, and the linguistic loopholes Bill Clinton used to answer questions. Plus, powerful calls on faith, justice, and the art of the perfect customer haggle.
