February 17, 2014 08:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBDenmark never ceases to amaze me. Their incredible hospitality, a great sense of humor and the humane pragmatism to deal with the terrible problems of drug addiction. I just love Denmark! So much so that, even though I am not known for my passion for music, I found myself blown away by the wild musical output of Nicholas Kvaran aka Nick Coldhands! (My friend Unnar Theodorsson was kind enough to introduce us.) Nick is an old school hip-hop DJ and producer. Earlier in his career, he was heavil...

Ep 60: The Wolff of Istedgade Street
January 20, 2014 08:00 - 2 hours - 110 MBMy comedy compatriot and friend, Jonathan Wolff Cohen, is our guest this week on the Yoshi Didn't podcast. He was instrumental in acquiring my previous guests (Episode 55: Michael Lodberg Olsen and Episode 56: Joergen Kjaer) in Denmark; Jonathan was able to get Mr. Olsen on the show because he’d previously volunteered helping the addicts of Istegade Street via Olsen's "Illegal" organization. I first met Jonathan through our mutual comedy buddy Jason Rouse (Episode 35) as Jonathan produces m...

If there's a group of people who can endure torment and take it with a smile, it's the delightful Vietnamese! Rosie exemplifies that: Tough, kind and shrewd. One thing I’ve learned about Rosie is that she can do anything. She has accomplished so much in the ten years I've known her: Rosie’s a successful standup comedian, actress, scriptwriter and savvy investor (did I mention she's...

Ep 57: The Ruler of Valhahalla (Al Pitcher)
December 30, 2013 11:55 - 1 hour - 76.1 MBThis week we explore the Swedish comedy scene with Sweden's best male standup comedian, Al Pitcher, a Kiwi from London. After seeing him perform at Upsala University (where he murdered the audience), I asked Al if he wouldn’t mind doing my podcast. He turned out to be exactly the guy Adeel Faqih (@AdeelFaqih) told me he was - a very funny, professional and gracious man. He spoke of his childhood in England and about growing up in New Zealand. We discussed some of his earlier struggles in st...
Ep 56: Our Man in Copenhagen (Joergen Kjaer)
December 26, 2013 23:56 - 55 MBThis is the second part of our Danish holiday episode.

Also attending the meeting was my friend Mikkel; we were both moved by the staff’s generosity and brotherhood. The BF facility helps both il...

December 23, 2013 08:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBWelcome to Part One of a special Danish holiday episode of Yoshi Didn't. This podcast episode deals with one of the few major issues that really drives me crazy. Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." The drug war is 100% pure insanity. We have lost the war, and we all need an alternative for this important health issue. I was very lucky to meet someone like Michael Lodberg Olsen. A social entrepreneur who has dedicate...

In this episode we mainly talked about his greatest passion: Football. (His team is Tottenham Hotspur FC - www.tottenhamhotspur.com.) It’s one of many conversations I plan to have with this comical Pakis --- Send in a voice message: https://...

December 16, 2013 08:00 - 1 hour - 91 MBThis discussion was recorded at the last minute with two of my friends: Steve Cattani and David Chien (@thedavidchien). Since it was an impromptu meeting, we ended up talking mostly about the great Greek-American director John Cassavetes and his films. I couldn't keep up with David’s and Steve's expertise, but I enjoyed it tremendously. Anyhoo, I hope this will excite you enough to watch some of Cassavetes’ work. Also, definitely check out the movie by Steve and Tracy Tuffs (@tracytuffs) co...
Ep 51: This Ain't the Rush Hour (Al Jackson)
December 09, 2013 08:06 - 3 hours - 165 MBOn this week's episode of Yoshi Didn't, Episode 51: This Ain't the Rush Hour, we have the great Al Jackson (@aljackson). He's a standup comedian, actor, podcast master, scientist, athlete and, most important of all, a great husband and father. Talking to him was like watching The Godfather or Goodfellas: We were having so much fun, I wondered afterward where the last three hours had gone. The discussion went just about EVERYWHERE! Also, we were fortunate to have along Eric Smith (Episode 40:...
Ep 50: We Few, We Happy Few, We Band of Brothers (Craig Gass)
December 02, 2013 08:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBFor today's episode, I am delighted to introduce my longtime friend (and a fellow disciple of Carl Warmenhoven, our comedy guru from Episode 23). I first met Craig Gass years ago at Seattle's oldest and most important standup club, the Comedy Underground. Before he was a comic, Craig was a rock and roll roadie, traveling the country as a teenager. After deciding on a career in standup, he began honing his incredible talent for mimicry — and has become very famous for his dead-on impressions ...

November 25, 2013 05:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBWelcome to Episode 49 of Yoshi Didn't. This week I welcome my friend and a great independent thinker, Rick Hall. Without Rick (and Jeff Marton aka Hatman), I would never gotten a job with porn powerhouse Evil Angel ten years ago. Rick is an incredibly smart and well-read individual with a complicated past life. While his Secret Service father was protecting the President of the United States, Rick was struggling with a heroin problem in the '80s. He was able to stop using drugs in 1990, tran...
Ep 48: Back to Sparta (Angelo Tsarouchas)
November 18, 2013 05:00 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBAs an honorary Malaka (that's Greek for jerkoff), it pleases me to introduce my great pal and Greek-Canadian comedy legend, Angelo Tsarouchas. In this podcast we discussed his career in acting (Mad Men, Fred & Vinnie, Cinderella Man, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) and standup comedy. Angelo is, in my opinion, the best opener for Russell Peters; he's also Russell's close trusted friend. Angelo also talked about his family, and he was beaming when we got on the subject of his baby daughter...

Let me introduce world-famous William Lustig, the great director of the 1980 horror classic Maniac, as well as Vigilante (1983), Relentless (1989), and the Maniac Cop series. He was kind enough to share his time and film knowledge with us. Also, we're joined by Bill's number one superfan, Bonnie Rotten (@thebonnierotten)! This heavily-tattooed beauty is both an up-and-coming star of adul...
Ep 44: Sirens at my door, Siren in my head... (Alison Schelin)
November 02, 2013 15:54 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBI've been very lucky to have so many people selflessly helping me throughout my life. One such person is Alison Schelin. She was kind enough to drive me through New England, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware over the summer. We tried to finish these podcast episodes while driving up north to see Dave Attell, but unfortunately ran out of time. So I ended up finishing the last portion of an episode by myself. While you're hearing this podcast, Alison will be traveling a...
Ep 43: Skin Diamond Is a Boy's Best Friend!
October 28, 2013 04:00 - 1 hour - 68.4 MBThe subject of this episode of Yoshi Didn't is a difficult person to summarize. Skin Diamond is an actress, illustrator, nude model, singer, SM bondage queen and - most important of all - a diehard Dr. Who fan! I was fascinated by her unusual, multinational background; she is of Ethiopian, Danish, Czech, Yugoslav, and German descent, and was born in Ventura, California, but raised in Scotland. Skin is quite simply a modern woman! The sky's the limit for this talented young lady. In addition ...
Ep 42: JB in the Room (Jonathan Brandstein)
October 21, 2013 04:00 - 1 hour - 75.4 MBThis is an long overdue episode; I finally interviewed my friend, Jonathan Brandstein.

Patrice was a truly great standup artist, and unfortunately, we lost him in late 2011. Jonathan and I ended up celebrating one of...

August 19, 2013 07:07 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBThis episode was not only fun, but turned out to be very educational for me. We present one of Australia's best and brightest, Alen aka ChampChong! His reviews started as a hobby right after high school, when he began communicating his thoughts on videogames and the industry via Youtube. Today, 115 million downloads later, ChampChong is a very busy man - traveling the globe and spreading the gospel (good news) of videogames! He schooled me about one of the most creative and innovative indust...

I recently took one item off my bucket list by doing a panel at the world famous San Diego Comic-Con!

The rest of the panel consisted of comedian Stephen Glickman, Chris Gore and the lovely Adrianne Curry. (Please follow thei...

Today's guest, Professor Ogi Ogas, is one of the first in history to see both male and female's secret sexual desires clearly and to ext...
