Aliens on Ice | 01-23-26

Join Lionel for a chaotic and intellectual edition of “Ventilation Friday,” where the conversation swings wildly from high philosophy to the eccentricities of daily life. This episode navigates a minefield of topics, ranging from the epistemology of how we know what we know to the indignities of aging, including ear hair, compression socks, and the “turkey neck” reality. Lionel dissects the geopolitics of the U.S. buying Greenland, mocks media hysteria over winter storms, and shares surreal broadcasting memories involving a McDonald’s drive-thru and a fatal run-in with a propane tank. From debunking UFOs trapped under the ice to debating the logic of pixelating prosthetic breasts, this is a mix of medical oddities, news psychology, and radio mishaps you won’t want to miss.
