This episode features Lionel tackling the biggest threats and most bizarre headlines. First, confront the existential crisis of silent global depopulation, analyzing the alarming drop below the Replacement Fertility rate of 2.1. Discover why delayed parenthood and career prioritization are leading an "amazing share of people who never become parents at all" to forego having children. Then, dive headfirst into a bizarre political scandal involving alleged DMT use, the infamous "acid note," and cringe poetry, while confirming that zero credible evidence supports a physical affair. Finally, buckle up for shocking "Fatal Attraction stories from hell," including unbelievable accounts of stalking—like an ex hiding on a car hood in the middle of nowhere and another who climbed a seven-and-a-half-foot fence with a hatchet. Lionel also touches on the dark legacy of the Kennedy family's infidelities and the importance of recognizing bullying as a sign of "budding psychopathy".
