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.

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.

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   Support our sponsors: http://viiahemp.com     code: Yannis

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.

The Trump administration is supposedly releasing some of America’s secrets. Will there be anything new and interesting? Will he turn America into a Trump-franchised dictatorship?
