Episode description

Welcome to the ultimate late-night show for the "night people"! In this episode, host Walter Sterling tackles the growing global push to ban teenagers from social media with 17-year-old journalist Wyatt Sharp, exploring whether these government regulations actually help youth mental health or just push kids to darker corners of the internet. Next, Middle East expert Edward Jones drops by to dissect a confusing and highly one-sided "pinky promise" memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran. Finally, Walter opens the phone lines for some much-needed late-night therapy after a hilariously infuriating run-in with a condescending, red-bearded Apple Store employee over his daughter's locked iPad. It’s geopolitics, Gen Z insights, and relatable tech-support meltdowns all rolled into one!
