Hour 3: Fake Rockefellers & Real Psychopaths | 03-20-26

Dive deep into the fascinating and deceptive world of the phony, the poser, and the impostor in this wild hour of The Other Side of Midnight. Lionel explores our strange societal obsession with charismatic frauds, from historical tricksters like Rasputin and Clifford Irving to modern-day romance scammers and the infamous "fake Rockefeller". Why do we romanticize people who completely reinvent themselves through lies, and what does it say about human vulnerability? The late-night chaos continues as the phone lines open up, bringing you a morbidly hilarious debate with a caller about the unstoppable doom of AI, tales of a multi-million dollar 1960s "salad oil caper," and a tense brush with a knife-wielding maniac at a local deli. It's an unfiltered, unapologetic ride where the truth is entirely optional. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
