Yoni goes live for the 1st time, sharing his thoughts on the January 6th insurrection, the way the Covid pandemic has been mishandled, the Democrats inability to do whatever it takes to beat the RethugliQanon threat to this country, because they so desperately want something they can't have, and won't get — bipartisanship, and the so-called "opioid" crisis. He also responds to audience questions and comments at the end of the show.

In part two of Yoni's conversation with two-time Tony Award nominee, Lewis J. Stadlen, Lewis discusses his brief (and unpleasant) stint on the television show, Benson, as well as working with Paul Newman and Director Sidney Lumet, playing Max Bialystock on tour and Broadway in Mel Brooks's The Producers, playing Horace Vandergelder opposite the incomparable Betty Buckley in a tour of Hello Dolly, and much more.

The World According To Yoni starts its second year with a BANG, as Yoni has the pleasure of interviewing the Number One "GET" on his list of most-desired guests, two-time Tony Award nominee, Lewis J. Stadlen. In part one, of this two-part interview, Yoni — who considers Lewis his acting hero — and Mr. Stadlen cover everything from what it's like growing up in a theatrical family, to the teachers they've loved and...not loved so much. From there it's on to the start of Lewis's career, in the first National Touring Company of Fiddler On the Roof, to his Broadway debut as Groucho Marx in the musical, Minnie's Boys, and on to the original Broadway casts of Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys, and his brilliant, Tony-nominated performance as Best Actor In A Musical, for Hal Prince's 1974 revival of Leonard Bernstein's Candide. They also discuss Lewis's friendship, and close working relationship with Nathan Lane and director Jerry Zaks. There's even a surprise clip later in the show — demonstrating Lewis's comedic brilliance. This is one show you definitely do not want to miss.

Yoni celebrates the first anniversary of his show, with the return of his friend, and the show's very first guest, Emmy-nominated Producer, co-host of the podcast, From the Bunker, and Stephanie Miller Show regular, Jody Hamilton. After a brief opening rant, Yoni and Jody spend the next hour discussing what it was like growing up backstage at The Carol Burnett Show (Jody's mom), her first huge crush, Ray Charles, indie film, and growing up around celebrities. It's a fun-filled hour of laughter and entertainment (with just a touch of politics).

Yoni's finally back, discussing his somewhat lengthy recovery from the 2nd Covid vaccine, as well as his feelings re the reopening of most of the country, while the pandemic still rages. His guest is Democratic strategist, Progressive activist, former Congressional aide, Stephanie Miller Show regular, and the 1st openly gay member of the Fairfax County, VA, School Board. Yoni also talks about some of the upcoming changes planned for the show, and discusses two television shows, he considers must see TV.
