Hour 3: Lionel’s 3 Day Rule | 10-22-25

Join Lionel on the Red Apple Podcast Network for an entertaining and informative journey through the world’s most baffling phenomena, technology fears, and political chaos. This episode covers everything from unexpected geopolitical facts, like Japan being the only rich country that “didn’t get overweight”, to the terrifying reality of relying on a centralized system like the Amazon cloud (AWS) and the immense energy demands of AI. Lionel analyzes the New York mayoral race, questioning candidates’ motivations and political strategy, and humorously deconstructs the idea of ‘4D chess’ applied to Donald Trump’s simple, lucky, and Machiavellian style. Expect rapid-fire takes on the absurdity of modern polling and a brilliant takedown of socialist proposals, such as the catastrophic concept of free city buses. The show is famously “all over the place”—and that’s precisely why you need to hear what the heck is going on here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
