Key Topics and Insights

1. Zoltan’s Comedy Persona & Audience Appeal

• Zoltan’s Viral Popularity:
  • Astrid (Bryan’s wife) is Zoltan’s “#1 fan,” running to show Bryan every one of Zoltan’s new reels.

    “She’s like, ‘Look at Zoltan. Look at what Zoltan said.’ So I don’t know whether to be jealous or angry or just happy that he’s here.” — Bryan [05:12]

• Audience at Shows:
  • Zoltan discusses who comes to his live shows and who drags whom along, noting the energy of meet and greets.

    “I can tell during the meet and greet whose idea it was to come and who’s the big fan and who got dragged and who’s being a good sport.” — Zoltan [15:56]

• Female Fan Base:
  • It’s “60/40 to the wives,” according to Zoltan.
  • Bryan jokes that Zoltan has “je ne sais quoi” in his bio—“More women like me than men.” [17:09]

2. Life as a Comic: Stage Anxiety and Growth

• First Experience with Stand-Up:
  • Zoltan admits his very first open mic bombed spectacularly, but the failure made him want to understand and improve.

    “I was intrigued as to why it was a disaster. And I think that kept me going back and back and back. And, you know, here we are 20 years later…” — Zoltan [24:48]

• Early Career Realizations:
  • It was telling a real story, not clever one-liners, that finally worked for him.
• Stage Panic:
  • Zoltan describes physical symptoms, like “dry mouth bombs” and near-panic attacks, noting they never completely go away for comics.

    “I think my second time on stage…I didn’t know what a panic attack was, but I think I had one. My face went numb, my hands were tingling…” — Zoltan [27:31]

3. UFOs, Science, and Social Commentary

• Comedy on Contemporary Topics:
  • UFO fascination and the difficulty of trusting “alien messengers.”

    “All of the alien messengers…they’ve all look like lunatics that live in a van and no one wants to believe them.” — Zoltan [17:45]

  • Hilarious discussion about the “three-eye comet” and whether it’s a spaceship:

    “Nine out of ten dentists recommend this toothpaste…What’s up with that one dentist? And that one dentist is the scientist that’s like, ‘That thing’s gonna kill us!’” — Zoltan [20:04]

• Making Social/Political Jokes in 2025:
  • Cautiously addresses topical matters on stage, striving to be relatable to everyone:

    “I’ve always tried…for people not to be able to tell which way I lean…just try to make everybody laugh but still get kind of my point across…” — Zoltan [34:32]

  • “If making fun of that is considered just normal, everyday politics, we’re all screwed.” [35:21]

4. Adapting to Different Audiences – Touring and Geography

• Regional Reception:
  • Zoltan explains his best crowds: “Pacific Northwest, Minneapolis,... Cleveland… anywhere there’s white people on depression medication.”

    “But then also Tampa, Florida, for some reason, digs my comedy… everyone looks like a real estate agent or a retired pro wrestler or a stripper…” — Zoltan [42:43]

• International Touring:
  • Looks forward to extended touring in the UK and Europe, especially a homecoming show in Budapest.

    “Next year I get to do the UK...and do...Budapest is gonna be on the list, so I’m really pumped…” [44:22]

5. Family & Upbringing

• Hungarian Roots:
  • Born in Budapest, moved to Pittsburgh at age four, then to San Diego.

    “I just remember telling my teachers that I was moving and they’re like, ‘Where?’ San Diego. And they’re like, ‘Oh, you’re gonna love it.’” — Zoltan [22:55]

• Uniquely Distant Family Culture:
  • Compared to his Persian wife’s close-knit family:

    “My family is interesting. Like, I think we all like each other, but I don’t think any of us, like, love each other… We don’t hate each other, but we’re also good not seeing each other.” — Zoltan [45:24]

  • Compares European families’ lack of community to being like cats (“feed a stray cat, it’ll hang with you for a bit... but it’s not trying to love you”).
  • Hilarious take on starting a family group chat: “I sent out the first text, nobody responded. Nothing. And I was like, I guess we don’t get a family group chat.” [46:51]

6. Pets and Childhood—Becoming a "Cat Person"

• Why Zoltan Loves Cats:
  • Discovered attachment to cats while living with roommates:

    “This one has gingivitis. Oh, we can work through that. This one may have bitten somebody. We can work through that…” [30:18]

• Chrissy’s Cat Grief:
  • Shares about her beloved calico who lived 22 years.
• Bryan’s Cat Allergy Story:
  • Humorously recounts family cats being mysteriously “gone” after his allergic reaction.

7. Pop Culture Banter – Reality TV & Nostalgia

• Reality TV Dissections:
  • “Seeking Sister Wives” and especially “90 Day Fiancé”:

    “That was our distraction for many years...we flipped it on the other day...and I’m like, what has happened?” — Zoltan [37:54]

  • Big Ed “the guy with no neck” as turning point.
• Old Movies > New Movies:
  • Zoltan prefers rewatching classic films like “Brewster’s Millions”—short, self-contained, and “calming.”

    “Everything’s the best movie ever made, but you also never want to watch it again.” — Zoltan [51:51]

  • Criticizes the lack of rewatchability in current films, calls “The Hangover” the last rewatchable film.

8. Book Nerdery

• Hemingway Confusion:
  • Zoltan finished “The Sun Also Rises” and didn’t understand the plot until a friend explained the “subtle” subplot about lost genitals in WWI.

    “I missed all of… I thought this guy had all the genitals and not hooking up with this lady… I didn’t get it.” — Zoltan [55:08]

• Bryan’s Hemingway in Spain Story:
  • Attempts to visit Hemingway bars in Madrid—gets publicly admonished for trying to tip the bartender.

9. The Comedy Industry – Navigating Streaming and Platforms

• New YouTube Special: London Fog
  • Shot at Neptune Theater in Seattle, Zoltan is proud of it.
  • All streamers passed—YouTube remains the main outlet.

    “Everyone can still say no and you can still put your work out to the people and they can say yes. I would rather have it that way than the other way…” — Zoltan [62:28]

• Resilience and Perspective on Success:
  • It only takes the right “five people” at a streamer, but until then, it’s about serving the audience directly.

• On Science and Psychosis:

  “I just feel like in this day and age, we should know with a degree of certainty whether or not something is a spacecraft, don’t we? We have so many things flying around… There’s a bunch of shit. Why can’t we determine exactly what’s going on up there?” — Bryan [20:43]

• On Touring Partners:

  “If she’s not there with me, I don’t really leave the hotel. Like, I will do my best not to leave the hotel… But when she comes with me, we go out, we do stuff, and that generates stories…” — Zoltan [41:28]

[Zoltan Hoadley]

When I'm in line at a coffee shop or something, I have to have my order ready before I make it up to the barista. Some people aren't like that. Some people can just like, be in the moment. Like, they just respond in a video game and just be like, croissant in a black coffee, you know? And if you can do that, awesome. More power to you. That's not who I am. I have to have my lines ready before I talk to a stranger. And sometimes I'm not. Like, sometimes there's someone in front of me and I'm still deciding and they get out of line. Now I'm next. I'll just yell out the first thing I see on the menu. That's who I am. London Fog. That's how I found out London Fog's not even coffee. All right? It's tea. Like, if you yell out London Fog in a panic, prepare for some dirty hot water. Cause you just got yourself some gross tea. All right? That's who I am, though. Like, when I'm in line at a Starbucks, I'm in my head the whole time. Just like, bacon, egg, gouda sandwich, sweet cream, cold brew. Bacon, egg, gouda sandwich, sweet cream, cold brew, Bacon, egg, gouda sandwich, sweet cream, cold brew. And then I make it to the front and the barista's like, what will it be? And I'm like, uh, can I do a bacon egg gouda sandwich and a sweet cream, cold brew? But then if we're out of all of that, I'll be like, London Fog, dude. I'll make the same mistake again. Rather than looking indecisive in public.

[Brian Green]

Dude. I'll dance with the devil I know.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Than the one I don't.

[Brian Green]

On this episode of the commercial break. Don't we. We have so many things flying around. Elon's got a bunch of satellites up there. There's a bunch of shit. Why can't we.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Exactly.

[Brian Green]

What's going on up there? I don't know. Can we.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Can we turn on Century mode on one of those Teslas he sent into outer space? Get a look at this thing? It's. Yeah, that's. That's. That's pretty frightening. I also like the idea that this well respected scientist has a bit of the hysterics.

[Brian Green]

He does. Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Like, that's. Can you imagine that from like a well respected neurosurgeon? He's like, this guy's gonna. This guy's gonna work on your brain. But he's a bit. He's a K. But we'll see what he can do. The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris.

[Chrissy]

Best to you, Brian.

[Brian Green]

Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks for joining us on a TCB infomercial Tuesday with Zoltan the comedian, the very hot on fire.

[Chrissy]

So hot.

[Brian Green]

Everybody loves him. So hot. He's so hot. He's hot. He's hot to touch. He's hot to look. Everybody thinks he's hot, including my wife.

[Chrissy]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

The reason why I'm so familiar with Zoltan's comedy is because Astrid sends me every single one of his reels. Everyone. Every single. She's like, look at Zoltan. Look at what Zoltan said. So I don't know whether to be jealous or angry or just happy that he's here.

[Chrissy]

Just join in.

[Brian Green]

I'm just going to join in. But usually we do these intros before we talk to the person, but this time is a little bit different and I'll explain why, but I want you to stick with us on this, okay? Because Zoltan is really good, he's really funny, and I'm not going to ask him to repeat this. So we recorded the interview with Zoltan, and about half a minute into the interview, Blue starts barking. Now, that's nothing new here at the studios. Blue is always barking, but it's usually one or two or three, maybe a bark for a couple minutes and then it's. Then she moves on to something else in her little pea brain.

[Chrissy]

But this time, time was different.

[Brian Green]

Was different. Blue barks the entirety of the interview. But I didn't know it wasn't a bark, like she was in trouble. It was just her normal obnoxious bark. Just every time there was a dead silence, she would bark. Why? Well, it turns out that Blue loves to get up on a bed here in the house, but she doesn't know how to get down. So she decided the best way to alert everybody that she's up in the bed was to bark obnoxiously for almost an hour.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, there's like little bouts of where she would stop. And I was like, okay, there's it.

[Brian Green]

That's it.

[Chrissy]

She's done.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

And then.

[Brian Green]

It is, you know, Sometimes when Blue barks during the episodes. When I go back and we're editing the show, I don't really hear it. So I'm like, okay, I can work around. I'm hoping this is faint enough that it won't be so omnipresent during the episode. But I've already listened to it back a little bit and I can already tell you right now, you're going to hear Blue. That's what you're going to do. But Zoltan and is hilarious and we were lucky to get him in here. Yeah. And we're happy to have him. And he's going to have a big tour links in the show notes to his tickets. He's got a brand new special that's on YouTube available right now. All you got to do is go press play links in the show notes. Zoltan has been doing this for a long time and he's got a. He's, he's. He's a very unique delivery, a very unique affectation and he uses it to his distinct advantage. Is really hilarious. There are a lot of comics that come on that I enjoy personally. A lot of the comics. Most of the comics that come on, we know in some way, shape or form. We've seen their material and we like it. But this one kind of rises to the top of the list for me, for Astrid. Astrid, so excited that Zoltan's coming in.

[Chrissy]

And we're going to see a show too.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, we're going to go see his show. He invites us to the show at the end of the interview and it was so kind of him to do so. And that puts him automatically in the friend category here at the commercial break when I don't have to pay, you know, when just saving me just a little bit of money. I don't care if the tickets are in the broom closet. I'm not fussy. I just want to go see Zoltan.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, it'll be a fun night out.

[Brian Green]

And he's playing at Center Stage, which is a great place to see where I saw my first ever comedy show. Pauly Shore, right?

[Chrissy]

That's right.

[Brian Green]

Paulie Shore.

[Chrissy]

So he's something about a cigarette involved in that story.

[Brian Green]

He bummed a cigarette. Even though he didn't smoke cigarettes. He bummed a cigarette. And we were 14 years old smoking Camel wides. Remember Camel wide?

[Chrissy]

Oh, my God. Yes.

[Brian Green]

That. We thought they were toys. You know what I'm saying? That's how young we were. We were just like, these are cool Camel wides. So here's something funny while we're talking about it, since we're already let the cat out of the bag that we've already recorded this interview. So after we record the interview, a day or two later, Zoltan makes a post about his new special. Yes. And he says the post is basically a lot. What he's. He'll, you'll hear here on the show, which is they pitched it to the streamers. The streamers said no. We were in disbelief that any of the streamers would say no to Zoltan, but they said no. And that happens in whatever hit the next one, get him at the next one. So he posts that and I make a comment. You know, it's a big stream conspiracy. Rob Schneider has a special on Netflix. Think about that. Fucking Rob Schneider has a special on Netflix. The most undesired comic, standup comic since. I don't know, Carrot Top. I'm not sure. I don't know. No. Knock on Carrots.

[Chrissy]

No, I know.

[Brian Green]

He gets enough shit. I actually like Carrot Top, if I'm being honest.

[Chrissy]

But he's strangely muscular, though.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he's just a strange looking dude. I don't love his comedy, but I like him as a person. When I see him talking, I get into it. I'm like, okay, all right, Carrots up. You're not terrible. He's got great stories too. He's seen a lot of history of comedy. But so I say that on the comments section and I'm just sharing with you guys, Rob Schneider has a streaming special on Netflix and Zoltan is on YouTube. All you have to do is press play. It's going to be a great hour of comedy. Do us all a favor, go watch Zoltan. Let's make Zoltan part of the commercial break family. Let's make sure that he feels the love.

[Chrissy]

I agree.

[Brian Green]

So please go press play. You can also do that on our podcast. That would help us out a lot.

[Chrissy]

Yes, please press play.

[Brian Green]

Press play on our podcast. Of course, if you're not hearing this, then how would you know to press play? But there you go. All right. Okay. All right, let's. Let's take a break and when we get back through the magic of tele podcasting, Zoltan here in studio Blue in a bedroom far away and me and Chrissy talking. You'll get through it. It's fine. It's not terrible. Terrible.

[Chrissy]

We keep talking like it's not happening, but I'm inside, I'm laughing.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, it's happening. All right. We'll Take a break. What do you say? Let's take a break and when we get back, we'll bring him on.

[Chrissy]

Let's do it.

[Brian Green]

Okay, we'll be back.

She is a huge fan of your comedy.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Well, first of all.

[Brian Green]

Which gives me mixed, mixed emotions about you, but I'll leave it there.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

First of all, thank you and thank you to your wife. And you have no idea how much I hear that like when I go do shows, I can tell during the meet and greet whose idea it was to come and who's the big fan and who got dragged and who's being a good sport about coming to the show. So I'm glad to know the dynamic.

[Brian Green]

Why do you think it is your dog also loves. Yeah, my dog is going absolutely bananas right now. I don't know why. She might be still in a closet or something. Should I check on her? I don't know. One of the. Do you. Do you get a lot more the wife or more the husband?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Man, it's kind of 50 50. But yeah, I guess if, I guess more wives than husbands. I would, I would. I've seen more guys standing at the meet and greet gone. As opposed to like wives going, but I'm going to say 60, 40 to the wives.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, that's. I'm going to say, yeah, you've got something. There's something about. I think it's like your mannerisms, your affectation, something. You're handsome. You've got this X factor going on.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Je ne sais quoi is what we have in my bio. That is what we're.

[Chrissy]

Exactly.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

That's the, that's what we're trying to promote here.

[Brian Green]

If you ever have to go get a regular job, it'll say je ne sais quoi. They put like marketing director, sales, professional strength. Jeanne. Sais quoi. More women like me than men. I love this. I was watching a real. I think it was last night or the night before that you did about UFOs. Like the. Yeah. Tell me, do you have like a genuine interest and fascination in this and are you paying attention to this three eye comet that's zooming around that's going to cause problems.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

So I've heard about that comment and I'm new to like the alien thing, you know, like I've always like heard of it. But. But you know what the problem with aliens that whole world is like the messenger is so important and all of the alien messengers of like the aliens are real. They've all look like lunatics that live in a van and no one wants to believe them.

[Chrissy]

Right.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

And then now like the military is like, yeah, we shot at a UFO and we hit it and it didn't do anything. This might be real.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Now it's like, that much more interesting. And yes, I have heard of the comet that was supposed to be a spacecraft, but now maybe it's not a spacecraft, but it's dangerous nonetheless. What's the latest with it?

[Brian Green]

Okay, so I'll go down this road with you because actually this episode may not air because of that comet. We'll have to see whether or not things come out. So why not talk about it?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yes, definitely.

[Brian Green]

It's like 3i. It's an interstellar. What they call interstellar. So it's coming from inside of our. Inside of our universe.

[Chrissy]

Intergalactic or.

[Brian Green]

No, I don't.

[Chrissy]

The Beastie Boys talk about it.

[Brian Green]

The way that it's circling around our solar system is strange. And we've only seen three of our scientists have. Like, we. Like. I'm a part of the scientific community, right?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

We all are. Yes.

[Brian Green]

Since 2020, we all are part of the scientific community. My grandfather is a Covid specialist. So it's the way that it's circling around our solar system makes scientists a little befuddled because they don't understand why it's moving the way it's mo. And like, a comet usually has a tail that moves away from the sun. Makes sense. It's burning off ice and whatever. And this tail apparently is pointing toward the sun, indicating that it may have some kind of, like, thrust and it's slowing down. Now, again, Zoltan said it correctly. You have to look at the messenger of. There's like a thousand scientists out there that are like, cool comet dude. And there's like six scientists out there that are like, we're fucked. Yeah, but they're not on the CBS Nightly News.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

You know what I mean?

[Brian Green]

They're like, they're coming to the commercial break at that kind of place.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

It's kind of like the toothpaste commercials where they're like 9 out of 10 dentists recommend this toothpaste.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

What's up with that? One dentist? And then that one dentist is the scientist that's like, that thing's gonna kill us. And so. But that's interesting. I want to listen to that guy and then I want to maybe visit his house, just see what's going on there and see if I believe him.

[Brian Green]

His name is Avi Loeb, so you can go Google him. And he's a. He's a well respected, like, astronomer and whatever. Whatever the other titles are. He's well respected, except he's also known to have fits of hysterics. Like you know about certain things.

[Chrissy]

Psychosis.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, psychosis. You. That's how you want your. That's how you want the guys.

[Chrissy]

That dash of psychosis.

[Brian Green]

I just feel like in this day and age, we should know with a degree of certainty whether or not something is a spacecraft, don't we? We have so many things flying around. Elon's got a bunch of satellites up there. There's a bunch of shit. Why can't we determine exactly what's going on up there? I don't know.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Can we. Can we turn on century mode on one of those Teslas he sent into outer space and get a look at this thing? Yeah, that's. That's, that's. That's pretty frightening. I also like the idea that this well respected scientist has a bit of the hysterics.

[Brian Green]

He does. Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Like, that's. Can you imagine that from like a well respected neurosurgeon? He's like, this guy's gonna. This guy's gonna work on your brain, but he's a bit. He's a kook, but we'll see what he can do.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he's been known to get the yips during surgery. So you know with the putter, like how you got. Guys, professional golfers, they call it the yips where they can't pull the putter back because they're like. Imagine the neurosurgeon. He's a great neurosurgeon. Best in the business. He's prone to the yips. I hope it doesn't happen on you, but if everything goes fine, it's gonna go really good for you.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Oh, wow. His short game is a disaster. But he can drive it. Boy, he can drive it from the.

[Brian Green]

Tee out of town. Hey, you are. Your parents are originally from Hungary. You're originally from Hungary, Is that right?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah, both of us. I was born in Budapest. We moved. I was born in 87 and we moved in 91. So I was there for a really short time. Just four years.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. That's very interesting. Why did your parents come here? Just job seeking, a better life.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

My. My mom married a Hungarian American and then we ended up moving. That's. That's how we ended up coming in. We moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

[Brian Green]

Wow.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

And. Yeah.

[Chrissy]

Oh, Pittsburgh.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. That's a lot of Hungarians over there. So it was like a smooth transition, but that marriage didn't last very long. So we were for like five years, and then we ended up moving to San Diego, where I still am. And it's Where I grew up.

[Brian Green]

San Diego is so beautiful.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. I had no clue what we were moving to. I just remember telling my teachers that I was moving and they're like, where? And I said, san Diego. And they're like, oh, you're gonna love. Like, I. It was the first time I had ever seen jealousy in adults eyes is when I told my first grade teacher that I'm moving to San Diego. Like, oh, you're gonna. You're gon to have a great time.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

Well, it is the whale's vagina.

[Brian Green]

It is the whale's vagina. That's true. Well, I mean, when you live in Pittsburgh though, you could say, you know, I'm moving to New Delhi and they. You're going to love it there. Exactly. I hear the, the panhandling.

[Chrissy]

The weather is way better.

[Brian Green]

The weather's way better over in New Delhi.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. I don't know what part of the whale Pittsburgh is, but not. Not the vagina, I would assume.

[Brian Green]

Did you find comedy early? Was this like a way of navigating and negotiating like, like your childhood? Like, I think a lot of comics situation. Yeah. New situations and just trying to find friends and you start making a funny and you realize that gets a reaction. You go, oh. Or was this something you found later in life?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

No, I mean, definitely moving around a lot and changing elementary schools every few years. Every couple of years. Like, being funny helped making friends. And then in middle school, like, I started to be, like, I started to figure it out. I'm like, oh, comedy's cool. And then. And then I graduated high school, I didn't know what to do. And then a year after I was out of high school, I was 19 and I decided to go to an open mic. And I just, I had a horrible set. But I, like, I was intrigued as to why. It's like, I really went in. A lot of people go into open mics with this confidence that they're gonna do like, like a little bit of fear, like they're gonna do poorly or they could do poorly. That was, you know, when you're young and you just have dumb confidence. That's what I had.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. That's what I had. And I'm like, this is gonna go great. I have some friends here. And it did not go great. Like, it was, it was so bad. And with my friends not knowing when they're like, we didn't know when we were supposed to laugh, so we. They laughed at like the wrong parts. And I'm like, not then, you know, and it was just. It was a disaster. But I was intrigued as to why it was a disaster. And I think that kept me going back and back and back. And, you know, here we are 20 years later, 19 years later, however long it's been.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, I think that's. That is interesting because I believe that a lot of. When we talk, we've talked to a lot of comics and the story usually goes the opposite direction, which is, I showed up at the open mic, I killed it, and then the next 10 times I got up there, I couldn't find a joke to save my life. Right. They got the initial boost of confidence and that strung them along. It gave them enough, I guess, gas in the tank to then get to the next funny. But that's interesting that you flopped. And I would imagine 90% of humans would go, that's it, I'm done. Enough punishment for me. Right, but you had some kind of.

[Chrissy]

Fascination challenge for you.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

It was weird. Yeah. It was like some kind of, like, kick to my confidence where I'm like, why did I not do well? I was supposed to do well at this. And then, yeah, the next few times didn't go much better. And then, I don't know, I think it was like a few months in, I told a story instead of doing like a joke I thought was clever. And that worked. That works better than anything else I had done. And I was like, oh, maybe that's what I'm supposed to do. I think I'm supposed to, like, yeah, I think I'm supposed to more talk about my life and stuff that actually happened to me as opposed to, you know, thinking I'm so creative.

[Brian Green]

Set up punchline. Set up punchline. Set up punchline is a very interesting form of comedy, but I. I think it. I don't know, it's not. It can be funny, right? I mean, you could.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I think it's great.

[Brian Green]

But yeah, you have to be. Or Seinfeld, but you have to be. So you're tying everything. Yeah, it's just a different. It's just there's some, you know, inside of stand up comedy, there's a bunch of different versions of that. I think you have a very unique voice. Right? You have a unique voice, like, literally have a unique voice. But then the way that you deliver your comedy is very unique. I would imagine that's part of why all these women find you so sexy and attractive. It's because of the way that you move across stage. But finding that voice is probably hard to do. Like, you have to go up there and just cut your teeth a million times. Did you. How many open mics did you. Did you do where you just didn't feel confident? Like you were like, oh, my God.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I. So many. I think my second time on stage, I didn't know what a panic attack was, but I think I had one. Like, I just remember my face went numb and my hands were tingling and I couldn't see. I had, like, peripheral vision, but the stage lights were blinding me. And I didn't do. I just kept talking. I didn't, like, I didn't run off the stage or anything. I just kept talking. And I was like, this is weird. What is this feeling? And then. And then when I was done, I was able to, like, sit down. And then it all eventually came back. But, yeah, so many moments, I call them. There's a special type of bomb, and I call them dry mouth bombs. I think other comics have talked about it, but your lips start sticking to your teeth, and then you're just. You start getting, like, saliva in the back that gets thick, and you're like, I can't talk. And everything I say is less funny than the thing before. Those kind of panicky in the moment moments, they happen over and over. They might happen to me. Next week, I'm going to be in New York. I'll be doing some spots at clubs. I could have another dry mouth bomb waiting for me on Tuesday night. So, no, it keeps. Things I was going to say.

[Chrissy]

Don't put that in.

[Brian Green]

Don't put that in your head, dude. Don't put that in your head. You got the yips. There you go. He's got the yips. He left the commercial break and he never did another set. Yeah, that's. That's super interesting. I heard a story once. There's a guy named Eddie Brill who used to. Do you know Eddie?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Okay. Guy used to book Letterman, right? He used to be part of the crew that would book the comedians on Letterman for many, many years. And Eddie and I became friends during the pandemic. And he told me a story about another comic who got so afraid, like, he would walk up on stage, he would be afraid that he had peed himself, right? Even though clearly he had not peed himself. He'd have to, like, he'd go to the bathroom right before he got on stage.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Stage.

[Brian Green]

This was like his biggest fear. And there was such an o, at times an overwhelming sensation that this had happened. And no one was telling him. He was like. It was this crazy kind of parent in, like, self Induced paranoia that I got myself in that he actually stopped doing stand up for like six years because he was so paranoid that this was happening or had happened was going to happen to him. And I can understand that because when I get up to speak in front of people, sometimes you get that dry mouth bomb. And when your lips are sticking to your teeth, you know that other people know it, right? You're like, oh, great.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah, it's noticeable. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Now I look weird. I look weird and everything's going down the wrong way.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry. No.

[Chrissy]

Say, when did you first know, too, that you were a cat person?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Oh, well, I mean, that happened. I, I, I, I think it happens when you first get to just have a cat in the household. You know, I, I was living with some roommates and a roommate had a cat and I just got attached to the cat. They ended up, you know, you move away, roommates move away. And I was like, I think I need a cat in my life. And so we went to go adopt one. And which, that's a whole process too, when, when I adopted my cat. You know, you check out so many cats, you read their stories and then, and this one has gingivitis. Oh, we can work through that. You know, this one may have bitten somebody. We can work through that. But, yeah, I remember the cat we chose Jessica. I picked her out of the cage and she let me hold her like a baby. And I was like, I think this is the one. And then, you know, then I was a full blown cat person.

[Chrissy]

I love it. I had one that lived to be 22 patches. She was a calico. And I still haven't been able to replace her. It's too hard. But I want, I've got, I've almost done so. And I have gone through the process that you're talking about, especially online, looking at all of the cats, picking them out and figuring out which one would fit in your home. It's, yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yono comprende Bros. I don't understand. Yono comprende? Well, I'm also deathly allergic to cats, so for me it's a death sentence. We had two cats when I was young, Sammy and Denise. And my parents brought them home. Like, we had just moved to Atlanta from Chicago. And I think my parents recognized that maybe we needed some, something, some kind of comfort or something to entertain us or kill us or whatever. I don't know. So she got these pair of little kittens and they were running around the house. They weren't particularly social, but Then I started, like, breaking out in hives and having problems. We didn't put two and two together until a couple weeks later. And then one day I came home and the cats were gone. And my mom claimed that the cats just ran away. She was like, oh, the cats ran away. And we said, well, how did they run? They ran away. How did they run away? They were just gone. So I think my mom was trying to save me, but I always wondered where Sammy and Denise went. They still, to this day won't tell the farm. Yeah. Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

That's actually very sweet of your mom to save you. The shame of the household of, like, well, you have an allergy, and now we can't have these adorable things running around. It's very sweet of her.

[Brian Green]

You know, Sotan, I never thought about it that way. I've never thought, thought. I've never given my mom an ounce of credit for that whole cat story. And actually, you might be right about that. She didn't want my other brothers to be pissed off that seeing Denise were. Wow.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. As they're putting him in cages. Sorry, your brother's allergic. And they just.

[Chrissy]

You can't have them because your brother's.

[Brian Green]

Terrible skin complexion has made this all awful. Sorry. Your brother can't breathe anymore. Can you comb every. Every Tuesday at like 1pm just for an hour? Zoltan, we could talk through some other life stories.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Absolutely.

[Brian Green]

I can feel some trauma.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I. I would love to be an unlicensed therapist. I think that's my. That's my backup plan if this all goes to hell is unlicensed therapy.

[Brian Green]

California psychics. You could.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

California, yes.

[Chrissy]

Oh, yes, for sure.

[Brian Green]

I. I don't know why, but people, they call them, and they call those psychics, and they call those psychics instead of a therapist. And that makes me a little nervous. If. If everything else on the TV doesn't make me a little bit nervous, that makes me nervous about the state of the United States. You travel a lot as the. As a comic. I know you're on the, like, the Never Ending tour, as most comics are working comics. I don't think you have a particularly divisive kind of comedy. Right. But do you. Do you get nervous when you go out on stage? Is there any. Are there any jokes, punchlines, things that you might say, like in 2025, where you go, this could draw a reaction?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I. I like most people, you know, I watch the news, I'm on my phone, I see what's going on, and it just seems so Weird to go on stage and avoid it.

[Brian Green]

Absolutely.

[Chrissy]

Sure.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

And so I try to talk about it, and I've always tried to, like, never be on, at least with my comedy, for people not to be able to tell which way I lean or which way I go and just try to make everybody laugh but still get kind of my point across in my own way. Yeah, but it's hard. It's. It's hard. And, yeah, I second guess myself a lot. And then I try it, and I kind of do the jokes like this at the end. I'm like, was that okay? Is that.

[Brian Green]

You're asking for permission? Yeah. You're asking for acceptance of this. Did you.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

All the time.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I remember I made fun of. I did a joke about Elon Musk doing the Hitler salutes.

[Brian Green]

Oh, yeah, I remember this. Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. And then I had a lot of. I had a couple messages like. Or this one lady left a comment that said, you should stay out of politics. And I just. I was like, if that's political, then we're. We're all screwed. Like, if making fun of that is considered just normal, everyday politics where we're in big trouble. And then apparently that was. Was kind of true.

[Chrissy]

Now we're in trouble.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah, now we're gonna. So it's weird, but it also seems so hypocritical and ignorant to just go up there and talk about butter the whole time. But I. I kind of do do that, because now I've noticed when I do make a joke about something that's going on in the news, whether it's ice or whether it's this or that I ingest, see the look in people's eyes and they look sad.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

And I'm like, oh, are they coming to the show to just forget about all of that for like, an hour? And then. So. So that also crosses my mind of should I even attempt this joke, or are people just, like, wanting me to talk about butter and my life and just anything that isn't that. So at least for an hour, they're like, well, that was fun. At least we didn't have to watch the news. So, yeah, it's. It's weird. It's weird because I do want to talk about stuff, but at the same time, I don't. To bum people out.

[Brian Green]

It's very interesting. And I think we kind of take the same. We have the same frame is when we started in 2020, we said, okay, no politics. Like, give people an hour that they can just, like, zone out and not have to listen to everything else. The incredible amount of craziness swirling around everybody's head. And I think we did that pretty well for a while. But then there's some stuff, stuff that is so omnipresent that it's like, how do you not address it at some point, at some time.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

When we do, we always go to reaction out of somebody. And now luckily the re. You know, we also like you, we kind of go, ah, like, you know. And do you agree? Right. But we go to reaction out of somebody and you know, you have to, I guess you have to deal with that. But it, it begs an interesting question. In these times, I think we know we, we need both people to speak out and speak up. And then we also need time to tune out and time to turn off.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Right.

[Brian Green]

We can't be swirling in this 24 hours a day to the therapist once.

[Chrissy]

Reality TV.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, reality TV, that's right. Seeking Sister Wives is what we need. Seeking Sister Wives. Have you caught up on Seeking Sister Wives resultant?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

No, we, my wife and I were big into 90 Day Fiance. Yeah. Very big into that. That was our distraction for many years.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. And then it really went off the rails.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. We flipped it on the other day and I'm like, what has happened to these people? I know.

[Chrissy]

I was like, they're still on. And now they're like tens before the 90 days.

[Brian Green]

After the 90 days on the level.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Co parenting on the spectrum. And it's like all, it's all. It's everywhere. I don't know what's going on.

[Brian Green]

90 days again. Another 90 days, trying again. I mean, there are some people who have been on that show for like a decade.

[Chrissy]

Oh, I know.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

For a decade.

[Brian Green]

They've turned into bonafide D list celebrities.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

That's a job. That's a job to be single and to try to find a love interest that's outside the borders of the United States. I think it's, that's a, that's a gig.

[Brian Green]

Now I had this belief, believe. I, I mean, I understand the production of reality tv, but when I got Chrissy into it, I said, you gotta watch the show 90 Day Fiance. It's insane.

[Chrissy]

All 25,000 episodes in one season.

[Brian Green]

Well, yeah, but so many. You got. You caught up on Lee. And I said to her, I said, listen, at some point the production staff just start picking the most insane human beings because that makes the best tv. But at first there was a little glimmer of authenticity in some of those episodes, but then it just all went off the rails. I Think the season that Big Ed came. The guy with no neck. I think the season had big head came. It all just went.

[Chrissy]

That's when it started to divert.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

But he was the most entertaining guy.

[Chrissy]

He was.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

That's a San Diego guy. We used to. Yeah, we would. I remember in one of the scenes, this is like, middle of the pandemic, you can't do anything. And we were watching one of the episodes, and my wife and I noticed. I'm like, oh, he lives in San Diego. And we would try to figure out where he. Like, where he was hanging out, like, which restaurant. And so we would use background, like, context clues. And then we tried to, like, go find the place. We'd get coffee and we'd be like, oh, I think that was the. That was the restaurant that Ed Nonak was hanging out. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

That's incredible. Well, he was driving around a pink scooter with a dog on the back of it for a while there wasn't. He probably isn't that hard to find.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

How do you miss him? How do you miss him? But somehow we just kept missing him.

[Brian Green]

3 foot 5, man with no neck, driving, pink scooter with a dog hanging. The dog had a helmet, if I remember correct.

[Chrissy]

You gotta keep the dog safe.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

That's true.

[Brian Green]

Do you bring your wife on tour.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

With you certain cities? Like, she's coming with me to New York. Boston. She is not coming with me to Omaha and Des Moines. Yeah. So she picks and chooses. I think Nashville, she's definitely coming to. So, like, the real. Like, she's like, I want to go there. And she's been on the road with me so much that we have, like, kind of our favorite places in certain cities. We're like, oh, we're going to this city. We want to go to that. Let's go back to that coffee shop and. And stuff like that.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. That's incredible. When you have. When. When you're able. I mean, like, I. I know that there's a lot of detractions to traveling around like that. Right. It's not all shits and giggles. You do it for the one hour on stage. But if you have a traveling partner, like someone that comes with you and hangs out, and you. You kind of make your own little adventures, then it's. It.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

It makes it fun because I'm the type of person, if she's not there with me, I don't really leave the hotel. Like, I will do my best not to leave the hotel. I'll go work out in the hotel gym I'll uber eat some food. Maybe I'll walk to a coffee shop, and then I'll just do my shows. And then. But when she comes with me, we go out, we do stuff, and that. That generates stories that actually helps generate material as opposed to. I went down to the lobby, I got a coffee, and then. And then I watched butter on the table. Yeah, it's all. It's all. I end up just talking about butter.

[Brian Green]

So did you know the Hampton Inn and Paducah says free weights? Free weights. I didn't think it was a luxury hotel brand, but changed my mind after the free weights. Yeah, that's the. When you. Is there, like, a favorite city? Well, I like to ask this of comics. Your brand of humor or you do you find that there's a reception in one place in the United States that's. Or in the world that's better than others? Like, some comics will say down in the south, they seem to pick up on my comedy a little bit. More. Like, the vibe is better.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

But.

[Brian Green]

But do you find that there's a place where people embrace your comic sensibilities better than others?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah, I have very interesting regions that, like me. Like, I was just in Tacoma, Washington, where a lot of people showed up, and they seem to really connect. Like the Pacific Northwest. Minneapolis is another big one. Cleveland. Anywhere where there's, like, white people on, like, depression medication. I seem to. There seems to be a connect, but it's not. It's weird because that. That is a lot of it. But then also Tampa, Florida, for some reason, like, Tampa, Florida, digs my comedy. They show up in large numbers. And those people like Tampa, they're all tanned. Everyone looks like a real estate agent or like a retired pro wrestler or a stripper. And it's just. It's a specific look. But they seem to dig what I do, so.

[Brian Green]

So.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

But yeah, mostly the sad whites seem to dig.

[Brian Green]

Dig what I do until Tampa. All those other cities that you said I have had, there's no other comic that's ever said those cities. So I think you have that region covered. Maybe it's just your brand of humor strikes the Pacific Northwest. Cincinnati and Minneapolis. Are you excited to travel outside the country again?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I'm pumped.

[Brian Green]

That'd be my favorite part. I would love to go travel around the world.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

It's like, that's the dream. Like, the fact that. So next year I get to do the UK, which I did the Edinburgh Fringe Fest in 2017, which was an awesome experience, which was my only taste of doing comedy outside of the United States or Canada.

[Brian Green]

Oh, really?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

And it was a great experience. I loved it. And then this time, I get to do it a few cities in the UK and then we're gonna go over to Europe and. And do. Man, I know Budapest is gonna be on the list, so I'm really pumped.

[Brian Green]

About that homecoming show. Look at that.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. Yeah. So, like, just getting to go around and travel like a band, I think, is so cool. So, yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna drag my mom out to the Europe ones, and we're gonna have a good time. Oh, how fun.

[Brian Green]

I. Yeah, I. Have you ever played Budapest since. I mean, ever?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

No. Really? No, I. Yeah, I never have. I haven't been back to Budapest since I was a kid. Since, like, kindergarten. First grade, I think, was the last time we went back to visit. And I don't know if it's from PTSD or what, but my mom hasn't wanted to go back.

[Chrissy]

Do you still have family there?

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, they've come to the US to visit or.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah, not that much. I had a cousin visit me with her baby. That was probably 10 years ago, but, no, it's. A lot of. My family is interesting. Like, I think we all like each other, but I don't think any of us, like, love each other. You know what I mean? So, like, my mom and. Okay.

[Brian Green]

Yes, yes, yes. No, I get it. Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yes, exactly.

[Brian Green]

It's to see who can leave the party first. Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yes, yes. Yeah. So I even asked. I asked my mom. I was like, hey, if we do that show in Budapest, is, like, my uncle gonna come? And she's like, I doubt it.

[Chrissy]

I doubt it. Okay, well, no expectations.

[Brian Green]

At least she. At least she's on it.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

So that's kind of my family background. Like, we don't hate each other, but we're also good not seeing each other.

[Brian Green]

We don't hate each other, but we're not rushing to love each other either. Yeah. There's no reason to. A lot of energy paying attention to each other. I do understand this. I do understand this. This is like I'm married to a Venezuelan. And if it wasn't for Mike, and I've been. My best. My other best friend is Venezuelan, so I've known him for almost 30 years. So if it wasn't for my connection with Venezuelans, I'm not sure I would understand what real family does, because passionate.

[Chrissy]

And close and loving.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. If a Venezuelan comes within 100 miles of my house, they're, like, staying in the good room. Do you know what I Mean, yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

But the other cultures are so much more hospitable than ours because my wife. My wife is Persian. And they're. That's like, they have a. That's such a tight knit, loving family. They have a family group chat. Like, my. My wife is in a family group chat with her parents and her siblings. And I got so jealous of that. I tried to create one with my mom and my brother and I. I sent out. I created the group chat. I sent out the first text, nobody responded. Nothing. And I was like, I guess we don't get a family group chat. We just. We love each other, but not like that. It's like. It's like a weird. I don't know how to describe the relationship, but I get it. Yeah. It's kind of like cats. Like a stray cat. You feed a stray cat cat. Like, it will come by, it will hang with you for a bit. But it's like, yeah, I'm not trying to, like, I'm not trying to, like, love you. I'm just trying to get on with my life.

[Brian Green]

I don't want to be in your world, but if you feed me every once in a while, cool. Like, we'll leave it at that. It's like, I don't know, like loveless sex with someone that you. Someone that you, you know, it's good. But I'm not here. I don't need you to come home home with you. Can't leave your underwear in my drawer. That's what I'm saying.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

No toothbrush. No toothbrush. I get this. I started a family group chat, but now I've, you know, whenever, years ago. But now I find that we start different family group chats depending on who we can say what to. It's like, do you know what I'm saying? Because I have a big, like, Irish Catholic family. It'll be like, well, I don't know if I can include them in this particular conversation.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

And I don't like this guy, so he's not invited to this part. Party. So we have thousands of different chats, but they never go anywhere. It's like one or two messages back or. Yes, no smiley face emoji.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Right.

[Brian Green]

Meanwhile, I'm in the Venezuelan family group chat.

[Chrissy]

Oh. It's active every day.

[Brian Green]

If I don't check it in an hour, I have. There's 600 notifications. They take videos that are hours long of them just driving in somewhere, you know, talking about a radio show they heard. It's. Yeah, it's unbelievable, you know, I like it because that's my. I feel like that's my. My connection to something loving and great. Not that my family isn't great. They are, of course they are, but they're just different. It's just different. Yeah, Europeans are, Europeans are, are different. Of course. Then there's the Spanish and they're a whole different animal altogether because, well, it's just.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I think Europeans, I think you nailed it. We're just not good at creating or joining or having a sense of community. And I think that's why we're more susceptible to cults is because when we try to join a community, it just, we end up in a documentary like going, I didn't know it was a cult. I just didn't know what community was. And now I'm in a cult, you.

[Brian Green]

Know, she said she was from Venezuela. I didn't know. I didn't know she was so loving. They invited me to family get togethers. I had strange Venezuelans in my house at all times. I what? I'm going to finish this because like I said, Venezuelan comes within 100 miles. They're sleeping in my good room.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

We would go back to Chicago where my mother's mother and father still alive with her six brothers and sisters and we would stay at a hotel less than half a mile from their house and they had like a five bedroom house that no children lived in. Like no children, no grandchildren, no nothing. And we would stay is somewhere else. It was so foreign to me that we. Like the first time I went to Spain to visit my wife's, the other half of her family. It's like, what do you think? You want to stay at the. At, you know, my aunt's house and stay at your aunt's house?

[Chrissy]

Right, right.

[Brian Green]

No, you mean like.

[Chrissy]

But it's like offensive if you don't.

[Brian Green]

Oh, it was offensive. Oh, it was. I had to make an excuse. I said I'm allergic to cats. They had a cat.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

There you go.

[Brian Green]

They had a cat. I got out.

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Always, always have that in your back pocket. Is there a cat? Do you. Is there a cat in the alley? Is there a cat anywhere on the premises?

[Brian Green]

Do you want. Besides 90 day fiance. Do you get into like show. What's your thing on the road? Is it books? Is it shows? Is it movies? Or is it all of music? Is it all the above? Is it the commercial break? Is it.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Is. I only listen to the commercial break on the red but that and.

[Brian Green]

Thank you.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah, I read a little bit. I like watching old movies that's kind of what I've been into. So I'll get on Amazon prime, which for some reason, the one thing they're good at on Amazon prime is just old movies serving you up.

[Brian Green]

Old movies. Yeah.

[Chrissy]

A good selection.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. So last week, I think I watched Brewster's Millions.

[Brian Green]

Wow, that is. That's a good one.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think there's something like. Like, calming about just an old movie that's done in 90 minutes. Not like these new movies that everything's a director's cut, everything's the best movie ever made, but you also never want to watch it again. It's like, I don't know. I think I'm becoming that person that just, like, won't watch anything new anymore. And it's like, nah, just put on something from 1985 and I'll be happy.

[Chrissy]

Yep.

[Brian Green]

I put Ferris Bueller's Day off for up. For. Up against any newfangled whatever as a brilliant movie. That is a nugget of a movie. It's like an hour and 20 minutes long or something. Like, you get the whole story, everything in there, and I could repeat it word for word as a child, and still to this day, I watch that movie sometimes, or Blues Brothers or whatever. It's like these movies, they're. They're so amazing. And you're right about something. Everything is the best movie ever made. The hype machine is on full overdrive drive. And complicit with it is all the critics who can't be against this director or that director. Everything feels so overhyped, but it doesn't really live up to the hype. Do you remember. Remember the Irishman? The movie that they. $30 billion on, and Martin Scorsese? It was a good movie, but I would not watch it again.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

You'd have to pay me. Did all the editors get fired like, in the last. There's no editing.

[Brian Green]

None. There's no.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah, every scene. Every scene's in there. Like, we were scrolling through HBO last night looking for something to watch, and the substance was on there with Demi Moore, and I forget the other actress's name. And it was like a really. We saw it in. Yeah, we saw it in theaters, and it was a great movie with, like, a great message about how, you know, beauty and women and how it's unfair and all that stuff and. But the soundtrack, like, the. The. The. The music they used and the visuals were so jarring and screeching. I wouldn't watch that movie ever again. But it was one of the best Movies of last year. And yeah, the rewatch ability of movies is, like, completely gone. Yeah. I think the last rewatchable movie was maybe the Hangover. I don't know which. Since then, if there's been one.

[Brian Green]

I think you're on to something here. I've said that I think the originality. And there, it still exists. But the originality in Hollywood is so diminishing. It's diminishing because no one wants to take a chance on anything. They just want to rehash the thing that already was re.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Make it.

[Brian Green]

Rehash it, retell it, redo it, Director's cut. And so then we're just left with a bunch of garbage. I mean, I. I don't know. Superman was a good movie. I'll say that. Superman, the new Superman.

[Chrissy]

I have not.

[Brian Green]

Okay. Like, I thought it was. I would watch it again.

[Chrissy]

You said it was good.

[Brian Green]

What do you read when you're like. If you're into books, what do you read? What does Zoltan read?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

So.

[Brian Green]

So I can read it and become attractive to my wife again.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

That's funny. That's what my wife says. I was reading last night, and she was scrolling on her phone, and then she looked over at me and she goes, do you think you're better than.

[Brian Green]

Me.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Just because you're reading? Yeah. Recently. This year, I've read. I read a couple Hemingway novels because I never read them before. Yeah. So I read it. I read the Sun Also Rises was the last one, and I didn't get it. Like, nothing happens. It's just like five guys trying to hook up with this one girl, and they chase her around Europe and they all just hang out and drink. It was like. It was almost like if you read the script to the Kardashians, where they just kind of walk around and do nothing. And I'm like, what is this? What is this? And then I actually. I hung out with my buddy over the weekend who has a master's in creative writing. And he was like, oh, yeah, the main character of that book couldn't hook up with that girl because he lost his genitals in World War I. And I was like, like, what page was that on? That was on none of the pages I read. And he was like, ah, it's subtle. But I was like, why do you know that? And he's like, I got a master's in creative writing. And I was like, I missed all of. I thought this guy had all the genitals and not hooking up with this lady. I. I didn't get it. I didn't get it.

[Brian Green]

You know, I. That is so crazy. Like, what is subtle about losing your genitals in World War I?

[Chrissy]

Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. I thought it would be like a big thing. And there was not at least a.

[Chrissy]

Chapter dedicated to it.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Something. A sentence.

[Brian Green]

I thought I was so cool because I went over to Spain. I get to Madrid. I. The first thing I do, I understand that Hemingway has, like, a thing with Spain, right?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

He was there.

[Brian Green]

He's in Madrid. He was. He even would lobby the government officials. He would be there near the parliament. He was like, act. He was a drunk. And he would get out there and, you know, talk on behalf of the Spanish.

[Chrissy]

And a cat lover.

[Brian Green]

And a cat lover. And so I was so cool because the uncle that I had just met, the. The Spaniard who lived in Madrid all his life, by the way, he says, where do you want to go? I'll say, you know, let's go. Let's go. I said, let's go to some bars where Hemingway drank. I picked some out. I googled them. You know, I'm going to be cool. That is cool. So we go. We go to the first bar. Great. Then we go to the second bar, which is. He liked to drink, like, port sherry. Right. And so there's a bar. It's in an alley in Madrid near the Parliament, but it's kind of a dark alley. It opens at 10:30pm and then it closes. Whenever it closes, it has electricity. And that's about the only modern convenience. It has no register. It has no. You can't take out your phone. There's no music. It says on there, no music, no yelling, no fighting, no spitting, no cussing. And basically, you hand them exact cash. It also says, no tip, no propena. Wow. No tipping. And so it's Europe.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

I'm standing outside of this bar, like a couple of other people are waiting. We go in. It's a lot of intellectual types. You can tell this is the type of place where Hemingway would have hung out. And I should not be hanging out.

[Chrissy]

They are better than you.

[Brian Green]

They are better. Way better than me. I go up and this, you know, gringo and I, hey, let me get whatever. The only thing that they serve, which is the. This, you know, sherry in this big barrel that Hemingway apparently drank out of the same barrel, whatever. So he gives us these glasses, he hands us some fruit and some nuts and some dates or whatever it is. And then he. He gives me the amount, and I hand him, like, whatever it is, €20. And I Said, you know, keep the change in Spanish. And he takes the. He goes to the register, which is just basically a basket full of money, and he takes out the money, gives it to me, and I push it back to him. And I, like. I give him this one number, and he just points to this, and then he says, in English, I will kick you out of here quickly. And I was like, oh, my God. So I thought I was cool, like.

[Chrissy]

Hemingway at the end of your bar hop.

[Brian Green]

We left so quickly after we finished those drinks because then everybody was staring at me. He said it in English, but everyone else understood. And since there's no music, screaming, talking loudly, or dancing, everyone heard exactly what was said.

[Chrissy]

You were the entertainment.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, he saw me coming a mile away. He's like, I'm gonna make an example of this American. So they never come back into my bar.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I love it. But you can see why Hemingway would drink there, because you just described a character from a novel. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yes.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

That's who this bartender was. That's beautiful. That's beautiful.

[Brian Green]

Well, it still exists to this day. It's still there. I mean, you can Google it. And if you go to Spain, if you go to Madrid, you can go take that same tour, but don't make the same mistake. Stay quiet. Stay quiet. It also, it is absolutely prohibited to take any photographs in there. Like, you cannot take out your phone for any reason. Don't even try.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Wow.

[Brian Green]

But I, like, went like. You know, I completely disrespected the place, and I went like. Like this. And I thought, oh, this is great. I got a picture of this to keep it. And what I got was the side of the bartender's head sideways with a fuzzy photograph with a couple bottles behind him. So what I really got was a picture of the camera guy who basically kicked me out of the ma.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

The soup Nazi. Of the. Of the. Of the wine. Yeah, yeah, the.

[Brian Green]

The tip Nazi. What. Where. What is the next. Where do you. Where does the tour take you next?

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Well, I mean, the. Let's see. What's the rest of the year? New York, Boston, Minneapolis, Omaha, Des Moines. My wife skipped and all Those. Nashville, Washington, D.C. and Kansas City is the rest of the year. And then the next year is going to be wild. It's going to be a bunch of Canada dates a lot, all over the US and the UK and the EU it's going to be. It's going to be crazy.

[Brian Green]

I love this for you. I'm sorry.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Thank you.

[Brian Green]

Are you. Are there plans in the future to do. I mean, I Know you have a special coming out, right. Talk a little bit about the special. Dropping on YouTube or have dropped on YouTube links in the show. Notes.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Yeah. London Fog. We shot it in Seattle last April at the Neptune Theater. It came out really great. Usually I'm not happy with anything I shoot, but the people that. Like the crew that shot this thing and edited it, it looks beautiful. I didn't mess up any of my words, which I'm happy about. About. And yeah, we tried pitching it to the major streamers. They. They politely said no. And so we're going to the number one streamer in the world, YouTube. And I will. I will force my comedy on people.

[Brian Green]

But, Zoltan, I don't get this. Like, you're clearly very popular and becoming more popular online.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Thank you. Yes.

[Brian Green]

I don't know. Couple million and a half something collective followers. What? There are people who have a lot less followers.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Right.

[Brian Green]

Have major streamers, streaming. There are people who are a lot less funny who have.

[Chrissy]

This is true.

[Brian Green]

I'm not gonna name them. I'm not gonna name them by name, but they may or may not have fellow comedy podcasts. But. But I don't understand why they would turn that down. That seems dumb on. On their view.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I mean, it's.

[Brian Green]

That's just the name of the game. You just got to. You got to keep doing it till you. Till you find. Yeah.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I mean, well, I'm definitely not going to stop. And I'm. I'm thankful to live in an era where everyone can still say no and you can still put your work out to the people and they can say yes. So I would rather have it that way than the other way where, like, I don't like the people don't like me as much, but maybe someone who's in charge of a Netflix or whatever does like me. So they keep platforming me, but it just doesn't seem to gather. Yeah. Yeah. So I'd rather have the situation. I do. Than the other way. But, I mean, it comes down to one person's decision. I mean, if you add up all the streamers, what do we have? Like, five of them.

[Brian Green]

Yep.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

And those are the people that make those decisions. Those are five people. I mean, I can go outside right now and find five people that don't like my comedy. So it just happens to be those five people. I haven't made something that really resonates with them, and that's fair. And I. I'll just keep putting it on YouTube until I make something that they're like all Right. Let's get the guy. Let's give him a shot.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, yeah. You'll get there. You'll get there.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I'm. I'm not going to quit. So we'll keep chugging now you.

[Brian Green]

Of course not. You're making a. I would imagine making a fair living doing this and that. I guess at the end of the day, that's a blessing in and of itself, right? Get to go up and make people laugh every day.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I don't have to clock in at a warehouse to unload trucks like I used to is a blessing. And so we're win. Things are going well. No complaints.

[Brian Green]

We're winning Zoltan's comedy special. There's a link in the show notes. He, of course, is on tour forever and ever, so you can find him at a city near you. He's very funny. He's. He's one of my wife's favorite comics, if not my wife's favorite comic stomach. But I also will share that he. You. I like you, too. Even though.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

Thank you.

[Brian Green]

Even though you are closer. Like, my wife likes you more than she likes me. I still like you, but you're one of many men that. That's true. So there you go.

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I appreciate that. Tell her I said thank you.

[Brian Green]

[Zoltan Hoadley]

I, I, yeah, he was fun.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Yeah, he's great. Thank you, Zoltan. We really appreciate it. Thank you, Zoltan. We're very sorry about the dog barking. He politely. Never said a word. Politely.

[Chrissy]

Did not.

[Brian Green]

I feel like he must, he must have gone. I thought at some point he'd go, do you want to go check on that animal?

[Chrissy]

I think I brought it up at one point.

[Brian Green]

You did at the beginning. You did.

[Chrissy]

And you were like, yeah, no, she seems okay.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I was like, no, she'll still stop in a second thinking. And that's what I just kept thinking of myself. She'll stop in a second.

[Chrissy]

But then we're like, it was an hour.

[Brian Green]

We're like 20 minutes in. And I don't want to like interrupt the flow, you know what I'm saying? You don't know if you're going to get it back. It's a tough call to make. I made the wrong call.

[Chrissy]

Yeah. We both jumped up afterwards to go check.

[Brian Green]

Immediately I ran, I was like, okay, what the fuck? And there she is laying on the bed. She's like, what's wrong? The chair that I used to get down's not there. Oh, okay. Fuck you. Okay. Fuck you. All right. Thanks, Blue. Thanks for ruining it with Zoltan. Now Astrid's never gonna get remarried to Zoltan. Zoltan. All right, all the links in the show notes. He's got shows coming up. He's coming here to Atlanta if you're in the area. He's going to a lot of places and he's going to be over in Europe and in Canada and he's going to going global. He's going global, Zoltan. Worldwide, baby. Worldwide.

[Chrissy]
