The Data Hurts | YP Hour Mar 22, 2026

Show notes

Yannis Pappas delivers a sharp, hilarious rant on how data has a way of dismantling our perceptions and deeply held beliefs, while most people would still rather cling to a good story. He riffs on how we’re conditioned from childhood, first through the stories our parents tell us, and then through the narratives we continue to absorb as adults. With his signature mix of humor and insight, he offers condolences to laid-off tech workers before diving into what the data actually reveals about capitalism versus communism. He caps it off with a compelling breakdown of Poland’s rapid transformation into an economic powerhouse in just one generation, using it as a real-world case study that challenges popular narratives.

Iran War, Kristi Noem & Is it Persia? | YP Hour Mar 08, 2026

Show notes

Yanni explains why he doesn’t think this Iran military intervention will work, analyzes the firing of Kristi Noem, and talks about how empires have successfully quashed rebellions and when they haven’t. Is Iran actually Persia, or the caliphate? This is a damn good show. It should be bigger, but we’re glad it’s not so Yanni can run wild.

As Cold as ICE | YP Hour Feb 01, 2026

Show notes

Yanni argues that the idea “there are no jobs in America” is a myth. There’s plenty of work—it’s just that people born here don’t want to do it. He breaks down how ICE agents, like meter maids, are tasked with doing an unpopular job that has existed under every president since the agency’s inception. The difference now isn’t the job itself—it’s the tone. And that tone is as cold as ICE.
