The Wayback with Ryan Sickler

1d ago

Zoltan Kaszas is here in The Wayback, as we take a trip to 1990s Pittsburgh, PA and San Diego, CA (Check out his special "London Fog" on YouTube). Zoltan reminisces about leaving his native Hungary at 4 years old and immigrating to Pittsburgh where his mom was live-in housekeeper for a wealthy family. We then visit his elementary school where he "flooded" the computer lab, and took ESL classes in a converted broom closet. Zoltan then gets nostalgic about leaving a mansion in Pittsburgh for a trailer park in San Diego, sharing an apartment with followers of Walter Mercado, being a 6th string middle linebacker, and pretending to play saxophone in the school band for an entire year.
