Episode Details

Lionel battles a freezing New York studio and a radiator that defies the laws of physics to deliver a masterclass on media literacy, breaking down the difference between "Ontology" (what is real) and "Epistemology" (how we know it). The hour veers from high philosophy to heated debates as Lionel challenges a caller who believes God chooses political sides. The conversation takes wild turns into the nuances of "Black Privilege," the psychology of horse whispering, Santería rituals, and why modern TV lacks the moral fiber of Barney Miller and Different Strokes.
