Lionel's default mode of speaking is a nauseating, intolerable screech, which, if rendered in type, would make every sentence all caps, terminated by an exclamation mark. There are few mercies granted in life, and the one granted here is that this verisimilitude will be forgone. We do not need to follow every character into the bathroom, and the reader does not need to be given a constant sense of what Lionel sounds like.

RANDY CREDICO
We're going to put a bow on this, we're almost at the end. Our last guest, who is going to tell us how important Julian Assange is, and this radio station is, unlike anybody else. And that's the great...Lionel.

LIONEL
And the best reason for you to donate to WBAI, is you won't have to hear people begging for money to donate. To WBAI. So you can go back to regular programming. Please. I beg you. For the love of god. Donate, so we don't have to beg. How's that?

CREDICO
Alright. That's very good. Thank you very much. Nobody's begging, I'm doing card tricks here, alright?

LIONEL
This is the best radio station - who is the nice gentleman, the man who answered the phone...Tony...who answered...

TONY BATES
Reggie. [Reggie Johnson, engineer at WBAI]

CREDICO
Reggie.

LIONEL
Reggie. When you and Reggie talk with the mike open, it's the best radio there is! "[inaudible]! I can't talk now! Tell them I'll call them back!"

CREDICO
Alright.

BATES
You actually listen to the show, Lionel, I see.

LIONEL
Every. Freaking. Time.

CREDICO
Thank you.

LIONEL
I'd kiss this man's butt to take a half hour to draw a cloud, because this is the guy that- understand something, Randy Credico, you are a man, you're very humble, people don't realize that-

BATES
Allegedly.

LIONEL
-but you got Assange on, he's the Beatles, the Stones, he's everything. Out of all the stations. Out of all the people, he called you, my friend. So, hat's off to you. Okay? Now. What is Assange- Do you understand what is happening right now? The big story today, that is completely being ignored, by the mainstream rancid, fetid, fecculent, otiose, the concretized media, is that the whole notion, that not only is there an Assange, but we have a president, who, whether you like it or not, who is in the middle of a palace coup, my friend. And you may not like him, I know that everybody- I didn't vote for him. That's not what we're talking about. But this is the chance for you to put something out that is so critical. The Seth Rich story-

CREDICO
YES. PLEASE.

LIONEL
-the Seth Rich story, this is a man who was _murdered_, _wacked_, it stinks that-

BATES
Who is Seth Rich?

CREDICO
Tell us about this.

BATES
-this story, and who he is, the audience.

CREDICO
Yes.

LIONEL
Seth Rich was a DNC whistleblower. Who was apparently speaking with Wikileaks. Who was allegedly killed. During a robbery, where he was shot in the back. Nothing was taken. And lo and behold, right at the time, that this family by virtue of a private investigator, started to say, "Wait a minute, this case stinks! And he was talking to Wikileaks, wait a minute!" Look at who he might have embarrassed, lo and behold, what comes about? This stupid, ridiculous story, about Trump basically giving out information to Russia, about terrorism, that everybody knew! Now, if you don't smell that...and what's interesting is that all you gotta do is hit the dogwhistle. Do you know, Randy, that they were screaming and yelling and high fiving in the newsroom of the Washington Post, because they thought they had scored some coup? And that this is some latter day Woodward and Bernstein? Meanwhile, what I want to find out is...yet another murder, another missing person, and nobody's talking about that? Instead, we're talking about- Get this, he's actually talking to- President Trump is talking to [Sergey] Lavrov about _terrorism_. He can declassify anything he wants, and by the way, do you know why we had the Boston bombing? Why the Flying Tsarnaev Brothers, Speedbump and Flashbang, do you know how they got here? And one of the reasons Comey was ultimately given the can? And basically given a copy of the home game? It's because Putin called specifically warning us about him. So the idea of us keeping channels open between Russia and Israel and France and the world, in terms of trying to ferret out an identified terrorist clique and cell, I mean, this is amazing, look at how they're moving away this. There's nobody interested in this.

You mention Seth Rich to anybody in the mainstream media, they don't know what you're talking about.

BATES
And that's why, Lionel, that's why I asked you to clarify exactly who he was. He was the guy alleged to have leaked the emails, no hacking by the way, alleged to have leaked the DNC emails, and days later, he wound up robbed...from behind...

CREDICO
Nobody knows for sure how-

BATES
He was shot in the back and, allegedly, a robbery, but that person who leaked those emails is dead. In the event that you didn't know that. And that was what Lionel was going on. Lionel, we want to thank you for being here with us this afternoon, this, of course, "Live on the Fly With Randy Credico", which can be heard every Tuesday, from five to six pm, and folks, one more time before we're out of here, give us a call, pledge your support, you must support the programming you believe in.
