Ep. 119 - Cynicism with Special Guest Yannis Pappas

from Origin of Speakcies · host Speakcies

Origin of Speakcies is back for Season 5! Scott and Steve are joined by comedian Yannis Pappas to discuss the term "Cynicism." But first, Steve gives the history of the term and introduces a fascinating historical character associated with the term who you'd never want to meet in person. Next Yannis Pappas and the guys have a lively discussion about many things including how Yannis' time as a social worker impacted his outlook on life and relationship with cynicism, the state of the media, and the likely relationship between Genghis Khan and Steve's ancestors. Speakcies Supporters get an extra segment with Yannis called "3 Silly Questions" during which the guys discuss a new tv project together related to The Love Boat and Fantasy Island.
