I miss dark comedy, worked in medical field and the dark humor was wicked funny. Laughing at the darkness many experience takes the misery out of the human condition, imo.
Hi Zoltan, your ghost experience is actually a rare but well documented experience called sleep paralysis. Normally when we sleep our bodies "paralyze" themselves so that we don't act out our dreams. When this paralysis doesn't work people can sleep walk and in some cases hurt themselves (one person dreamed he was in a football game and in real life tackled his bedroom closet). The total opposite of this is when people wake up and gain semi-consciousness, but their body is still asleep, or paralyzed-- unable to move. People are usually pretty lucid, but may still have some aspects of dreaming, such as auditory hallucinations (in your case a wet cough). I had a similar experience with sleep paralysis where I heard someone playing violin in the middle of my bedroom in the middle of the night, but was physically unable to turn and see who it was. I also tried to scream but could only make a long, dull exhale. Quite frightening! Remember that breathing is an involuntary muscle reaction-- your body can do it on its own while you sleep; but shouting or speaking is a voluntary action you would need to be awake to do. Anyways, I hope this doesn't make your "ghost experience" any less fascinating. I find the science way more interesting! Read up on sleep paralysis!
Yeah, COVID is still having a party, I got hit probably last Thursday, was feeling like crap on Saturday and went to get tested, positive, now I'm on my 4th day of Paxlovid. I'm ache-y and winded and just so pissed about it, but it is what it is.
This conversation is proof that almost everything you see on tv is produced to give you a reality that isn’t real. We should really think hard about that.
Hey Z!! My name is Lisa Honey, i live in San Diego (born and raised), and i want to be able to take credit right now for you BLOWING THE F--- UP after this month. 😂 Reason being: I'm a new Uber and Lyft driver and at first i got no tips because i didn't know what to say to anybody. Then i realized i had an easy ice breaker: YOU!! i ask people if they like stand up comedy (most do, unless they speak another language, and then i don't have to speak to them anyway 😮) and then i tell them they've GOT TO watch you. So yeah. I take a lot of people to the airport. So you're gonna be famous all over the states!!! (Hopefully). It's ok. I'll only take like 1% of your profits. You won't even notice really. 😢 nah. It's cool. ❤ I'll def be seeing you on December 16th in SD, late show!!
Wait. Your name just made sense to me! Are you sure you aren’t meant to play an evil villain in a b movie! Zoltan and the invaders from planet frisky ghosts!
You talk like you don't do drugs much, but this story-hard to believe. (Towards the end you mention shrewms-oh wow) However, tt actually brings me comfort that there are ghosts. It means our loved ones are around.
I don't mind how true a story is or isn't. What makes this a problem to me personally, is that 1: He didn't even make it part of the joke, it was just shoe horned in there with no punchline connected to the statement. 2 (and by a wide margin the most important): He doxxed the girl. He got a real person into real trouble with a fake story. Her family too. To me that is just so far over the line that you can no longer even see the line. The real punchline is that she is married to an Indian man now.
Comidians generally draw from things that people experience in life to come up with ideas for comedy skits and then embellish enough that you know that a much or all of it is made up. Hassann doesn't even sound like he's doing a comedy skit. He tells the story like he's telling an emotional true story that he may add a little bit of humor to.
Rappers are the same as comedians in that respect, their whole job is to imbellish the truth but unlike comedians, rappers tend to lean into the absurd and often times straight up lie. Most rappers have done nothing compared to what they rap about, it's actually hilarious.
Whoever thinks comedians aren’t allowed to put right lie when telling jokes are silly. Never have thought any joke is real. In fact it’s not comedian problem if the listeners do something wrong afterwards. So Hasan shouldn’t need to not embellish just like Chris Rock not needing to make fun.
Hasan Minhaj's P.A. was decent in the beginning, but soon all he could talk about was race, victim playing and white bashing. Flip every b&w word around and see if it's still ok. Dude has a big ego and prob had a hard time handling that he lost his show..
man, you are by the far the funniest, most charismatic, most hard working comedian in the game right now.
I couldn’t agree more!❤
"Have you ever made meatloaf and need to mix the eggs in?" 😂😂😂
Y’all made my day with the belly laughs. There’s not a better way to start the day. Thanks Zoltan and company. Love all y’all. 😸❤️
I am really enjoying the podcast with no guests and I love the off camera commentary!
I like the dark comedy, and the context really makes it funny.

I have been waiting so many years to hear you reference Zoltan from dude where's my car!! xD

I don't believe in ghosts, but it's a great story. Funny shit
The fact that the goes touched you at the junk, it show how lonely he is.

I'm in for the long haul. You're a funny bastard 😂✌️😍
Your the man Zoltan!
Zoltan: I didn't see a g t or ever will see it. Your still the best comedian.
Who is the guy off camera? He's been an entertaining side man in previous episodes, but he's on fire with his commentary on the ethics of comedy.
Who's the dude off camera? I'm new here

Maybe the ghost was a doctor doing a check up, he was just looking out for your well being.
Love watching you! Did Jessica kitty pass ?
Well I love your comedy sir.
Don't worry, Son, we'll get our revenge on the network someday. When they least expect it. Lol jk
You make my work drives something to look forward to. Already a sub; 1st time w/podcast. "HILarious!"
Roy wood is great.

Very much love your podcast....just wondering why we don't get to see who you speak with?
Premium!

The long hair is shorn yet, the crazy eyes remain.
Funny stand up. Just found out you did this podcast. Do you miss your long hair? It's crazy how different people look with and without long hair.
I missed it but who is this guys you are talking to? Your producer? Your chemistry is really good!
zoltan, it's called sleeping paralysis. body can't move, all sorts of video and audio and sensory effects can be felt
🤣

Why's your wife in the corner? What'd she do to merit that?

I find Mike's sexual references in the presence of Emma distasteful
