Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a mind-bending journey through the political, the macabre, and the absurd. On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Lionel conducts a controversial thought experiment to dismantle the modern definition of a "hero," asking if Donald Trump or even a trained police dog truly qualifies. He delivers his signature "garbanzo journalism" to tackle deep-state conspiracies, from the MLK assassination and Building 7 to the inconsistencies in Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy and the "dog of a case" surrounding Charlie Kirk. The conversation takes a dark turn into the future of mortality, exploring futuristic "Sarco" suicide pods, Chinese "organ vans," and the terrifying threat of Artificial General Intelligence rewriting its own code to end civilization. Between debates on selling your own kidney and the "Uni-party" illusion, Lionel finds time to roast "moron" pizza reviewers, moms dancing on social media, and the "overrated" legacy of Hunter S. Thompson.
