Hour 4: Gonzo vs. Garbanzo Journalism | 01-19-26

Lionel delivers his signature brand of "garbanzo journalism," tackling the "dog of a case" surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination and the enduring mysteries of Building 7. Lionel takes aim at the legacy of Hunter S. Thompson, arguing the "Gonzo" icon was overrated, even as authorities reopen the investigation into his 2005 death. Listeners join the fray to vet "stupid people" with controversial questions about gender, debate the inconsistencies in Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy, and challenge Catholic doctrines regarding Limbo and suicide. From Southern Rock nostalgia to the uselessness of meteorologists, nothing is off-limits. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
