## Resource

Dive into the delightfully chaotic world of late-night talk radio, where no topic is off-limits! This episode kicks off with a retired NYPD detective exposing the revolving door of New York's criminal justice system through the lens of a recent purse-snatching pursuit. From there, host Walter Sterling and his colorful cast of nocturnal callers tackle a wild variety of subjects, including heated debates over "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and the absolute myth of objective journalism. The night owls also try to separate Michael Jackson's musical genius from his controversies, proudly declare that left-handed Mac users are inherently cooler than PC users, and dive deep into a conspiracy theory linking NASA to missing UFO scientists. The episode gets capped off with an absolutely unhinged, rapid-fire rundown of the most bizarre "Florida Man" headlines you've ever heard. Grab your tin foil hat and join the 12% of the population that thrives in the dark!
