The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel
Weekdays 1AM-5AM

Dopamine Made Me Do It | 12-16-25

Unpack the brutal slashing homicide of Rob Reiner and his wife, allegedly by their son, Nick. This deep dive goes beyond cable news to dissect the shocking details, police incompetence (including the missing warrant fiasco and budget cuts), and the ensuing media circus. Explore the dangerous intersection of parental entitlement, rage, and severe drug addiction (methamphetamine and Adderall) fueling the tragedy. Lionel investigates the dark reality of chemical dependency—from dopamine receptors and the science of "starvation" to the high risks of prescribed opioids and the rehab industrial complex. Plus, a stunning exploration of high-level celebrity conspiracies, "narrative laundering," and allegations connecting political activism to intel operations.
