Yanni goes Alex Tocqueville on Gen Z — cold yet empathetic, hyperaware yet shut down. Overwhelmed and held hostage. Liberated by technology but imprisoned by caution. An oxymoron… and the ones who’ll have to save us.

Are we on the brink? To understand where we’re headed, we’ve got to know where we’ve been.

Yanni delves into Warren Buffett’s warning about America’s need to care for more than just the casino and take care of the cathedral. Rite Aid is going under, the Met Gala was wild, Andrew Cuomo is changing his tune, Barry Diller comes out of the closet, and Skechers is going private in an effort to reinvent itself. It’s going to be ok.

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.
