My real dad left when I was 6 months old. He went on to live in Bali, Thailand, Alaska, and New Orleans. Never paid child support. I'm in my 50's now and my husband found him and thought it would be good for me to talk to him. All I have to say is: BIG mistake!!!
My first born has a dead beat dad, alcoholic, drug abuse, violent etc. He left and never wanted have visitations or anything. But when my son was about 5 years old I met my ex and he became his dad and still is, even though we divorced again later. Then when my son was 14years old the dead beat msg me and said maybe he would like to start to be in my sons life and wanted to talk to him. I said it is not my choice, I will ask son what he wants to do and what he wants goes. And I told my son he bio dad wants to have contact with him and asked him what he wants and he half laughed and said no he is a loser in life and a stranger to him. I divorced from his stepdad when he was 17years old and when I moved out to another appartment, my son stayed with him and still stays with him at age 23years. He is his dad and my ex also says it, when people ask him how many kids he has he always says 3 kids, not 2 kids and 1 stepkid.
Yeah he was living his best life until you came along lol 😂 get over it! Worse things happen. You just made millions of men think “why didn’t I think of that” lol lol lol lol

RIP Daryl Jones. You had a great influence on one funny dude! Sorry you lost someone you looked up to, Zoltan, but what a great way to honor his memory!
You know, I was lucky enough to have both parents growing up. I will tell you this, when it comes to father figures, I appreciate what my dad taught me, but I also picked up so many good things from others that I can look back now and say that it's not only normal to have more than 1 father figure in your life, it's also healthy and to your benefit. So well done for taking the good bits from people who came into your life and building on those to make it your own! Cheers!
This was a great set Zoltan, i think i’ve heard you tell it before, but i enjoyed it just as much the second time. Rest in Peace Daryl Jones & Mister Rogers ❤
Your comedy is transcendent. It surpasses the usual and the expected. Honorary Jones is flawless in concept and delivery. It isn’t a bit that was honed to perfection, as much as it was lived out in sweet imperfection.
I also grew up without a dad and can sooo relate to everything you said in this set! I did have a bit brother who was 11yrs older than me that I was able to look up to as a dad! Unfortunately, he passed away in February of 2022 and we're all still taking it pretty hard. But I found a very select few of other father figures over the years that helped me be a strong, independent woman! My brother and I also used comedy to get through life, so listening to you reminds me of him, alot! Keep doing what you do!!!
6:30 Hey Zoltan, Iowa born and raised here, farmers let their cattle graze the picked cornfields to eat the corn chaff. Once in a while they find a corncob with corn left on it and since it is dried by that point, it's like chewing up bone, lots of crunching. Perhaps that is where the saying originated? I dunno.
There is a brazilian comediant, famous in Brazil, who jokes he is not impressed his father has not showed up after he got famous, his father is really profundly absent and wouldn't be around even if was elected president 🫠
my fav part of the role model joke isn't even the punchline, it's the line where "I worked in the office and I wasn't even allowed in there where they work on cars"
My imaginary dad was Herman Munster. Mr.Rogers was my neighbor and Mr. Robinson from Mr. Robinsons neighnorhood. I imagined they knew each other Not my fault. Gen X, No.dad. Zotan"s story was amazing and so funny. 😂
My imaginary dads are Marshall Rosenberg and VOlodymyr Zelensky. I blended our faces together with AI. It's very touching and interesting, somehow, to look at the variations.
My Dad died a few days after the accident we were in. In the accident, Dad wasn't wearing his seat belt because they always irritated the scars he had from open heart surgery. My Dad was also waiting for a heart transplant because he had rheumatic fever as a child and it basically lights a fuse in your heart, you are even more mortal than mortal. You KNOW you're going to die and you know it's because you have a bomb in your chest. So her was thrown from the car and landed back first against a tree. He was instantly paralyzed but could still feel all of the pain. I lost my 19 year old mind because I couldn't take my Dad's pain away, and I couldn't reconcile the fact that I was essentially unharmed with what I saw of the accident. I stumbled away and called out for help. There were no cell phones and I really had no idea where we were because I had slept through almost the whole accident. I only recall noises and sights. I remember waking up to the sound of gravel against the floor. There's a blink and then I saw everything behind the windshield spinning and yawing, then a slightly longer blink then I woke up on my side on the bottom of the car. So I was confused and terrified, I had at least had the presence of mind to turn on the hazard lights. And it worked, good people started showing up almost at once. There was a trucker who called for an ambulance with his two-way radio. There was a young lady maybe my age who basically took charge and got people to help me and my Dad. I never found out who those people were because I was barely aware of my surroundings. Everything after that was a drunken blur I'll never decode. Needless to say, it left some scars. But I eventually found a way to navigate through the grief and survivor's guilt. I would do everything I can to live up to his example. That way he's still here. People say they can see my father in me. I know it's a lie because I have pictures of Dad and a mirror. I have the same colour eyes as Dad but that's where the resemblance ends. But I'm starting to see the similarities too, the more I live like him, the more I look like him. ❤
as a born and raised rural new mexican, i can confirm we are the SOUTHwest and that such gems as "it's rainin' like a cow pissin' on a flat rock" are very much the norm around here.. in albuquerque tho? not so much (although the pipe wrench story checks out). so it's pretty apparent to me that the only reason Mr. Darrell Jones couldn't get a heart is because didn't have one badass enough to power a 100% original who 100% would take a pipe wrench to actual death over his cardigan-stripping actual son Zoltan 💙.
Mr Rogers taught me English too! I only spoke Italian when I was very young because my parents immigrated here from Italy and only spoke Italian to me.
My Mom left my dad(although they never divorced) when I was one. I remember seeing him a couple times a year and him paying barely any child support. I didnt miss him because I never remembered him really being around. I did sign up for the divorced parents kids club in 4th grade because they said there would be free pizza. I only went once for the pizza but then I felt bad because all the other kids were sad and missed their fathers and I couldn't pretend to have those feelings. I still sort of chuckle about that.
My dad also left when I was a baby. He went on to become a bank robber, got caught, and was in Leavenworth for four years. My first time meeting him, I was six years old; my mother took me to pick him up at the bus station, fresh from prison. Of course she didn't tell me that until I was older. I had never thought much about the fact that I didn't have a dad, until that day of meeting him. I was sooo excited to not only realize that I had a dad, but that I was about to meet him...I felt like I was about to meet God. Well, that feeling didn't last long. Turns out, my dad was a major douche bag. (He was a bank robber, after all, so big shocker there.) So in that way, I was fortunate to be raised by a single mother. She had her own share of issues, but still...it's better to be raised by a narcissist than a narcissist AND a psychopath, so in that sense, I got off lucky. So yah, Zoltan, I'm with you....meeting your dad is probably over-rated, though I did have my share of "father figures." Given my mother's lifestyle, they were bikers, drug dealers, and a demolitions expert, but they all treated me kindly. I always thought Mr. Rogers was kinda boring, but I was a huge fan of the Electric Company. Ah, the good old days. :) Thanks for all the chuckles!
If you never met your dad... Don't. I should have just kept the stories. Ok maybe not every long lost dad is bad....but sometimes the story is better. I should have kept the stories. He was much nicer in my head. I would love to have a father that would stand up for me or at least a father figure
My real dad left when I was 6 months old. He went on to live in Bali, Thailand, Alaska, and New Orleans. Never paid child support. I'm in my 50's now and my husband found him and thought it would be good for me to talk to him. All I have to say is: BIG mistake!!!
Yea not everyone is meant to be in your life.glad u had a full filled life without him ma'am ,but good on you for trying to connect
My first born has a dead beat dad, alcoholic, drug abuse, violent etc. He left and never wanted have visitations or anything. But when my son was about 5 years old I met my ex and he became his dad and still is, even though we divorced again later.

He is his dad and my ex also says it, when people ask him how many kids he has he always says 3 kids, not 2 kids and 1 stepkid.
Never met mine either. Talked to him once on the phone after I found him as an adult. He only told jokes. He died. Never met him.
Yeah he was living his best life until you came along lol 😂 get over it! Worse things happen. You just made millions of men think “why didn’t I think of that” lol lol lol lol

I love how simplistic his comedy is. Effortless and still so easy to laugh at. Plus, I always enjoy how he tells stories. 😊 Awesome dude!
Me too man. His jokes are as clever as anyone can keep up with.
Had me laughing and crying...
Zoltan's playing carelessly with my feelings.
But it's worth it.
Geez dude....ya made me cry. I still love your comedy.
This is a great story about ur honorary dad Mr Jones
RIP Daryl Jones. You had a great influence on one funny dude! Sorry you lost someone you looked up to, Zoltan, but what a great way to honor his memory!

"I'd rather not do that at an Applebee's"
Gets me every time 😅😅😅
Sweetheart you are making me laugh even with a bout of depression...thank you darlin
You're the best, Zoltan.
This was a great set Zoltan, i think i’ve heard you tell it before, but i enjoyed it just as much the second time. Rest in Peace Daryl Jones & Mister Rogers ❤
This was so heartwarming and also so funny ❤❤
This was a blessing to listen to. Thank you.

Great way to wrap it up and put a bow on it!

Zoltan, long time fan but you're definitely growing as a comedian. This was great!
Made me cry. 😂 EXCELLENT
😢
Whoa, that was from the heart and amazing!!! 😂❤

Zoltan: career blows up after a Netflix special
His Dad: *comes crawling out of the woodwork* HEY SON
Or, "Hé, fiam."
There is a brazilian comediant, famous in Brazil, who jokes he is not impressed his father has not showed up after he got famous, his father is really profundly absent and wouldn't be around even if was elected president 🫠
I really enjoyed that it’s fun watching him grow as a comedian🎉🎉🎉
😂 love it!!!
You have a talent to make people laugh effortlessly
Definitely rings true. Great to be reminded of those willing AND those oblivious, chosen father figures. Thanks for the giggle on a tough night☺️
my fav part of the role model joke isn't even the punchline, it's the line where "I worked in the office and I wasn't even allowed in there where they work on cars"
You have become one of my favorite comedians 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I just love how this is so wholesome 😃
This was really good. Gotta tell more stories 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Man this was amazing! Great set

R.I.P mr. Daryl Jones. One only dies when they stop talking about you
My Dad died a few days after the accident we were in. In the accident, Dad wasn't wearing his seat belt because they always irritated the scars he had from open heart surgery.

thank you
I love the Z man ❤❤
saw this one before and it still is great, maybe the best bit you got
Amazing!
What a great tribute to Mr. Daryl Jones (may gods of diesel and internal combustion rest his soul)!
This bit is truly beautiful ❤
Love that you managed to fit in a Bukowski reference.
Was sure its gonna be fire!
HAHAHAH thanks for the laughs, love how you tell stories and a big plus is that it’s clean comedy 😂😂😂😂
Nice call back on the airport water !
Love that Daryl Jones story!❤
Family isn’t made by blood. 💙 great stories!
This is one of the greats, ladies and gentleman.
Not only do I believe this to be true but it's hilarious LOL what a great set. He's hilarious.
Rest well Darryl Jones, so glad to see you doing well in comedy, congratulations ❤
This one hits a weird place.. lol👏👏👏
I'm so glad you had a Darryl! That's awesome!
First time coming across this guy. I like him. He’s funny. Kinda has the style & delivery of Nate Bargatze
Great set Z-man! 😊 👍
Love this!
Glad I caught this in the first 12 hours! Amazing stories as always. Where’s our Amazon prime, Netflix and more specials!
Love me some Zoltan ❤❤❤
We all need dads. They’re rude, crude and have an attitude, but we need them!
This must be cathartic 'कतार्तिक' for you.
Every kid needs a protector God bless Darrel Jones for being that.
RIP Mr Jones. You raised a great man.
as a born and raised rural new mexican, i can confirm we are the SOUTHwest and that such gems as "it's rainin' like a cow pissin' on a flat rock" are very much the norm around here.. in albuquerque tho? not so much (although the pipe wrench story checks out). so it's pretty apparent to me that the only reason Mr. Darrell Jones couldn't get a heart is because didn't have one badass enough to power a 100% original who 100% would take a pipe wrench to actual death over his cardigan-stripping actual son Zoltan 💙.

Your a funny Dude! Continue the Success 🎉
Seriously funny dude
Fuck yea Mr. Rogers
He's right. You find father figures along the way. Even when you have your father in your life.
Good Stuff
My dad also left when I was a baby. He went on to become a bank robber, got caught, and was in Leavenworth for four years.

You were probably there on the best day, when Jones needed you the most!
Hell yeah
If you never met your dad... Don't. I should have just kept the stories. Ok maybe not every long lost dad is bad....but sometimes the story is better. I should have kept the stories. He was much nicer in my head. I would love to have a father that would stand up for me or at least a father figure
😂💯🤙
"if Charles Bukowski fought in the UFC" :D
My dad would never, my mom on the other hand might burn a building down if the owner wronged me in some way 😂
That guy you're describing sounds a lot like the father figure I was raised by...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well, how DO cows eat corn? 😂
I can translate for you 😁
I know Mr. Jones!
No father - my grandpa was my father figure.
I encouraged partner to speak to father after 10+ years and damn was that dumb of me, dude sucks.
I thought this was gonna be funny…. Nope
My ex broke up with me thinking I wouldn't be able to have a long term marriage cause I grew up without a Dad. 🙄 My cat and I are 21 years strong 🥹🩵
Ahhhh😂😂😂
