So thanks to Oz for that.

I was mentioning to you in the pre-show talk here, you gave me a nice off-air, a nice little lesson in Hungary and a lot of the stuff, including I found out that the darling of the CFL, Xander Horvath, I got the whole What do they call it? I can't even think of the word history of his name.

1:43

Anyway, yes, apparently Horvath is not just a surname.

1:47

It's actually a designation of a people.

If you are a Croatian living in Hungary, you're a Horvath.

1:54

According to Oz, at least.
