Hour 3: The Absolute Worst Job You’ve Ever Had | 03-31-26

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a hilarious, horrifying, and eye-opening deep dive into the absolute worst jobs imaginable. Prompted by the increasingly joyless and burnt-out state of modern workplace culture, Lionel asks his callers to share their ultimate employment nightmares. From the traumatic reality of being a "turkey milker" and deboning scalding hot chickens on a conveyor belt, to dodging explosive static sparks in underground gas tanks and getting thrown in a jail cell while running shady "white van" speaker scams, this episode covers the gritty reality of making a buck. Plus, Lionel takes a wild historical detour into America's recruitment of Nazi scientists in Operation Paperclip and ponders the existential dread of answering the dreaded question: "What do you do?"
