Watching the 🇺🇸 Pie Bake
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
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

White Robots & Lies Travel
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.
