4D Tariffs or TikTok Toe Apr 05, 2025

Show notes

It’s post-Liberation Day and Yanni’s got thoughts. Will the American worker answer the call and put down the phone, clock in, and start sweating again? Or are we too deep into DoorDash and dopamine? Will foyers be stormed, or will everyone just leave a nasty Yelp review? And hey, what even are tariffs? A little history lesson, a little confusion, and a lot of Yanni touching his big nose between his beady eyes.

Leaky Group Chat & Killer Emojis ☠️ Mar 29, 2025

Yanni is rooting for Duke because of Cooper—and because stereotypes are mostly true. Oakland’s amazing mayor caught in a pay-for-play scandal, a Signal group chat heard around the world, and Adolescence on Netflix is a masterpiece that captures a social media-driven epidemic.

Internet is the New Gun 🔫 Mar 22, 2025

Show notes

Yanni exposes the self-congratulatory, sophistical culture of internet political gossip. Has there ever been an administration that engages with the online echo chamber like this one? The gaslighting is happening on the right now, just as it was happening on the left.

So Here We Are 🌍 Mar 15, 2025

Show notes

Yanni follows what’s dominating the stage—tariffs, cuts, and the like. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s mouth is tanking Tesla stock, which isn’t great for Yanni’s wallet. Why are we re-litigating social nukes? America is pulling out of the WHO, so don’t tell the old folks. Missouri sued China—and won. Yanni breaks down the difference between private growth and the government’s role, explaining why they’re not the same.

Watching the 🇺🇸 Pie Bake Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

Yanni wonders whether the American worker will rise to the occasion and outperform factory and farm workers from less consumer-conditioned countries. How long will the economic squeeze be blamed on Biden? How long is Trump’s grace period for that? Is the goal to crash the economy in the short term to bring back factories and pay down the debt? Will Trump supporters go along with it? And finally, a critical look into Steve Bannon & Elon Musk. We don’t know what’s gonna happen, it’s got to play out, we are all just watching the American Pie bake.

The Greek Godfather - Paul Virzi Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

Comedian Paul Virzi stops by to talk about being the godfather to Yanni’s daughter, how he crushes speeches and more! Being a Godfather (Νονός / Nonós) in the Greek Orthodox Church is a big deal and carries significant religious, social, and lifelong responsibilities. It’s not just an honorary title—it’s a sacred role. The godfather plays a central role in the baptism, answering on behalf of the child, reciting the Nicene Creed, and physically lifting the child out of the water (symbolizing their rebirth in Christ). He’s got to protect her from the devil! Being asked to be a godfather is a huge sign of trust and honor in Greek families.

Paul has a new special out here: https://youtu.be/Xz9wjGimAoo?feature=shared

White Robots & Lies Travel Feb 21, 2025

Show notes

Will robots be white or diverse? Do lies travel faster than the truth on the internet? Yanni delves into Jay-Z’s civil suit being dismissed, the accusations against Tom Hanks, and Kendrick’s allegations that Drake likes them young. Are we living in a commentary dystopia? And finally, a vegan trans cult commits terrorism and it’s not in a Coen Brothers movie. You can’t add tragedy to tragedy and comedy to comedy.
