    Hour 2: Why You Haven't Robbed a Wawa | 03-04-26
    Mar 4 2026
    In this provocative episode, host Lionel dives deep into the sociology of crime, asking a simple but loaded question: why do some people commit crimes while others simply never think to rob a Wawa?. Examining countries with near-zero crime rates like Japan, Iceland, and Singapore, Lionel argues that strong social trust, strict law enforcement, and cultural expectations are the true deterrents, not just economics. The show heats up as Lionel debates live callers on controversial topics—from the breakdown of the American community and the "immigrant drive," to whether hunger justifies armed robbery. Plus, don't miss his hilarious rants on locked-up CVS deodorant, precision Japanese omelets, and the criminal implications of wearing a bonnet in public. Learn more about your ad choices.

    In this "Warrior Wednesday" episode of The Other Side of Midnight, host Lionel and child safety advocate Lynn Shaw (of Lynn's Warriors) tackle the hidden digital war waging on our children's smartphones. They expose how Big Tech algorithms are intentionally feeding highly addictive, industrialized, and extreme pornography to kids, treating them as products for ad revenue. The conversation covers the tragic real-world consequences of this digital exposure, the landmark product liability trials against social media giants in Los Angeles, and the urgent need to treat this as a national public health crisis. Most importantly, Lynn provides a clear, actionable battle plan for parents—from installing device filters to initiating honest, embarrassment-free conversations—to protect kids from the "digital blast zone".
