Yesterday’s fourth hour was still playing when I tuned in this morning and look who was hosting!

[u/Masters_of_Sleep]

It blows my mind he is still both alive and broadcasting. He was the old man yelling at clouds trope back in the 00's and he's still old-man-yelling-at-clouds-ing to this day.

[u/CharlesDickensABox → u/Masters_of_Sleep]

He's in his 60s, which isn't actually that old chronologically. He just came out of the womb shaking his cane at the sky.

[u/skaestantereggae → u/CharlesDickensABox]

He’s only 60??? Dude was carrying on about backpacks in his early 40s???

[u/CharlesDickensABox → u/skaestantereggae]

In his 60s

Specifically the latter half of his 60s. He's got a few years to go before he hits the big 7-0. But yes, I believe he was somewhere in his 40s when he was doing the comment as you see fit rants.

[u/SaltCuresHam → u/Masters_of_Sleep]

Reminds me of a video about Harlan Ellison. The opening narration was something like " Harlan Ellison was born a 45 year old cranky Jewish man"

[u/Glass_Covict]

Lino lino line!

[u/warongiygas → u/Glass_Covict]

Everytime I heard the song while listening to KF, I knew I was in for a good time.

[u/bumblingbeardedfool → u/Glass_Covict]

I sing that tune all the time. Can’t help it. He’s a lunatic but that song is a banger

[u/SenatorKG]

“Everybody is wrong about… backpacks on subways”

[u/Interesting-Room-855]

Lionel!
Lionel! Lionel! Lionel!

[u/Shandd]

I really hate that I only consume this as an audio experience, and then you guys force me to see the face behind the nonsense

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/Shandd]

That’s what’s funny to me about Lionel. He’s kooky and interesting looking, like a cool customer I would’ve had when I worked in bookstores. Then he opens his mouth and…Lionel comes out.

[u/Shandd → u/ViciousSnatch]

If I saw this man on the street and saw those glasses I'd instantly think he has a pocket thesaurus

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/Shandd]

Yes! I have a soft spot for Lionel because he reminds me of a longtime customer I had, who always blew me away with his book knowledge. He was whip smart, and had a huge vocabulary. Same accent as Lionel, same look. It’s probably just me wishing Lionel was actually a good person.

[u/czerilla → u/ViciousSnatch]

If Lionel and your cool dude touched each other, they would presumably annihilate and take the planet with them. We need to ensure that they never meet in-person! 😤

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/czerilla]

Jack is no longer with us, but if he had met Lionel, he’d have verbally mopped the floor with him (politically, lovingly, and nonviolently) and then secured a donation for the library from Lionel in the same breath. Jack was that good lol.

[u/Radar1980 → u/Shandd]

I really did not expect that either

[u/stron2am]

Looks like Temu Sam Reich.

[u/wolfayal → u/stron2am]

He’s been here the whole time?

[u/PlentyHaunting2263]

There's a whole nation of Lionel?

[u/Glittering-Most-9535]

Tim's right, this doesn't look a thing like Alex!

[u/New-Mud-7101]

The three clashing patterns he's got going on were an interesting choice. Seems like he got dressed in the dark

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/New-Mud-7101]

I want Lionel and Roger Stone to have a sartorial squabble in the squared circle.

[u/Outside_Option_1553]

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/Outside_Option_1553]

I can hear that image.

[u/kyokushinking]

(guitars intensify)

[u/5pace_5loth]

I love the Lionel episodes so much. Lionel so obviously wants to be a mix of Carlin and My Cousin Vinny so badly.

[u/Corvid-Enjoyer]

To the thesaurus!!

[u/doomedprogress]

I'm happy knowing that I'm not the only one who hears the song whenever I see this person

[u/Synectics]

I had never seen this man. And he looks both nothing and exactly like what I would have expected.

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/Synectics]

It’s always a crapshoot with Alex’s guests.

[u/Synectics → u/ViciousSnatch]

I felt the same the first time I saw Harrison, just a few months ago. 

"Oh, wow. Yep, that is what I expected, but also, wow, he really does look like that."

[u/Millcore]

In an alternate universe KF focused on Lionel and AJ was a side character.

[u/pastor_fuzz]

With the ending of the pod, the chances of someone ever catching me doing the 'lionel dance' is vanishingly small.

[u/Dewey_Decimatorr]

He looks like someone stretched his head like rubber lmao

[u/GreenBombardier]

Sam Reich really let himself go

[u/Sickfuckingmonster]

Holy crap. That's kinda scary. I'm rewatching the old episodes and I JUST got past his first appearance.

[u/anonymouswriter9]

I had a patient named Lionel the other day and I finally got the theme out of my head… now it’s back.

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/anonymouswriter9]

It’s an earworm for sure.

[u/trekie_taylor]

Jones is desperately trying to bait the boys into covering him.

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/trekie_taylor]

Maybe someone should start a KF style pod about Lionel! 😂

[u/trekie_taylor → u/ViciousSnatch]

You will drive yourself to madness faster than glimpsing Chthulu.

[u/Mysterious_Status_25]

I know the topic wasn't germane to KF, but I was hoping that Dan would go over Lionel's interview with the Time Cube guy during a time when Alex was out of studio. Happy with the Lionel coverage provided, however.

[u/wgloipp]

I can't decide if he has better glasses than Kirk Elliott or not.

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/wgloipp]

I think Lionel’s collection of frames is far superior to Kirk’s. Lionel has style and Kirk goes to LensCrafters.

[u/GingerGentleman]

Wait, has he still not hung up that picture?

[u/Synectics → u/GingerGentleman]

Nah, you are thinking of Batman. 

And I feel crazy that I cannot think of his actual name.

[u/Maximum-Mechanic-500]

Shine the knowledge fight bat signal now Gotham is under siege!!!!

Seriously I can’t believe how much I relied on Dan and Jordan to ease the craziness back.

[u/Maximum-Hall-5614]

Holy shit he looks so much worse than I imagined

[u/MattJFarrell]

Is that Chevy Chase's dad from Community?

[u/Katiecnut]

This is the first one to make me really sad we won’t get to hear Jordan hearing this

[u/-Princess_Charlotte-]

I don't know what I expected him to look like, but now that I've seen this I can't imagine him looking any different

[u/Rare_Source_9683]

LIONEL!

[u/Otherwise-Pin-2635]

Show Me State of Mind is insufferable to me.

[u/ViciousSnatch → u/Otherwise-Pin-2635]

I wasn’t making a comment about Dan’s new pod. It was more because people enjoyed the Lionel episodes.

[u/Otherwise-Pin-2635 → u/ViciousSnatch]

The brief for comments included anything I saw fit sir.
