Hour 2: Human Blood & Bored Billionaires | 05-01-26

from The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel · host 77 WABC

Welcome to the strangest late-night program on the airwaves, a place exclusively for "midnight misfits". Join host Walter Sterling for an unpredictable hour of radio that aggressively swerves from street-level true crime to bizarre historical conspiracies. In this episode, retired NYPD detective Vic Ferrari stops by to explain how a simple auto insurance claim brought down an international fugitive known as the "dinnertime burglar". Walter also unpacks his latest adventures in extreme frugality, recounting how his refusal to pay for a $100 Uber ride to LaGuardia resulted in a multi-hour bus tour of Queens. However, he balances the scales by revealing his ultimate travel cheat code: using his pacemaker to completely bypass TSA lines in eight seconds flat. Between hilariously relatable rants about dogs that jump on you, cats with UTIs, and lazy radio station managers who play "Best Of" reruns, Walter fields caller debates about Jimmy Kimmel's controversial jokes and the boundaries of free speech. Things take a massive turn into the macabre as Walter explores the mysterious disappearance of the Anasazi Indians, connecting their societal collapse to chilling, modern-day conspiracy theories regarding Jeffrey Epstein, elite "jerky" code words, and bored billionaires drinking human blood. Finally, enjoy a quick trip to an Iowa Walmart, where a man is caught attempting to teach his son the fine art of shoplifting hot chicken. Learn more about your ad choices.
