Hour 4: Hippie Dippy Cosmic Goo | 01-14-26

Join Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight for a dive into the ultimate questions of existence, stripping away the “hippie dippy” nonsense to get to the core of critical thinking. Lionel challenges the “long gradual ladder” of evolution with the sudden complexity of the Cambrian explosion and the “irreducible complexity” of biological machines. From debating “Christian by birth” labels to analyzing the “God gene” and the passing of Dilbert creator Scott Adams, no topic is off-limits. Whether discussing the physics of the universe or why George Burns made a great Deity, Lionel argues that actions speak louder than dogma—and he’d rather “lick a belt sander” than talk about boring news stories.
