Red Pilled & Ready | 01-27-26

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a chaotic, deep dive into the stories the mainstream media won’t touch.

The skepticism ramps up as he questions the official narratives surrounding Bin Laden’s burial at sea and the "freefall" physics of Building 7 on 9/11. From the Pope’s warning against forming emotional bonds with predatory AI to debunking health myths like the Mediterranean diet, no topic is safe. Featuring raw "red pill" moments, a roast of old-school televangelists, and wild listener calls from characters like "Party Marty" (sharing tales of Everclear hangovers), this is late-night radio at its most unpredictable.
