But I don't purposely, it's like a musician picks up a guitar and they lean toward playing the blues or playing jazz or whatever it is, just whatever feels good to you. And I think it can be done to great effect either way. I don't think I fall one way or the other on what I like or what I would prefer. I think you do it very well. And the biggest compliment that I get
is that uh people don't even notice it yeah yeah it's true i get told that i'm go well that's really good because clean comedy does have a connotation and i think it's earned in a lot of ways that it's hokey kind of dad jokes right like lame puns like Laffy taffy joke. Yeah. Like, and there are guys doing that. There are. Yes.
So the biggest compliment I get is I'll work with a comic and then like at the end of the week or something, they'll go, I just noticed you were clean. And I go, well, that's great.
I don't want it to be. I specifically tell clubs, I go like, don't put like clean comedy night or something like that. I'd be right. If people know me, they know that it's clean, but I want anybody to, to just come and they won't even notice it. It's true. If they don't know I'm clean, they'll just enjoy the show and we'll do that. You are funny. You are funny. There's no doubt about it.
And I don't think of it as like...
that hokey kind of listen you don't have a you're not a ventriloquist right you do a really good job and you use your comedy to great effect and you're right about this is that you don't leave the you don't leave this most recent special you don't leave it going oh that was a half hour of clean comedy you say that was a really good a half hour of comedy and they did make a smart choice there now that i think about it and let me explain why because astrid goes i'm gonna watch
aaron's special and she's the busiest person i know she's got 12 to 13 children a job and all this other stuff and she was able to fit it in and when she was done she was like that was really funny he's really funny it is everybody should go listen to it watch thank you yeah and i'm hoping it's it's way better for people to go that felt short then they go that was a little long totally agree yes totally agree because also
And now I'm thinking about, like, I'm coming to this realization as we're talking, that's really smart. Like, if you want an introduction to a comic, a reel is too short. A reel is just one joke. A reel is a setup and a punchline. But 30 minutes is extraordinarily digestible. And do you really want to make an hour-long commitment with someone that you maybe have never heard before? Yeah. I don't.
I don't. No, I don't have that kind of time. I really don't. There's two ways that I get introduced to comedy. That's either on social media, you know, new comics. And it's going to take me more than one reel to follow somebody, right? One reel, okay, I might heart it. It's going to take more than one reel.
But the other way that I get introduced is they're coming on the show and I want to watch some of their material. But if I had to like, if an hour of someone that I didn't know popped up on Netflix, I don't think I'd commit the time because I'm just like, I'm too busy. I got to watch, you know, Exactly. 90-day fiance.
And I'm very aware of, like, if most people had came in blind, even fans of the podcast were like, I've never seen Aaron stand up.
They're coming into it with, I don't want to be committing to a whole day of this.
You get to a certain point, Nate, Dusty, and guys like that, where people will go, oh, okay, I'm sitting down. I'm going to make a night out of it. Yes. Right? So, God willing, I'll get to that point one day. But I'm very aware that this is my first – First thing that people can see. So I want it to be as accessible as possible. Do you feel like the momentum is in your favor?
Are you feeling the momentum building? I hope so. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a good year so far. So I'm hoping that that continues. I think a lot of it I'm going to be able to tell when I come back to some cities that I haven't been to in a while since the special comes out. So I'll be able to have hard data and see. But yeah, I would say it feels like things are going in the right direction.
Comedy is such a long game, dude. It sure is. And I knew that going into it. I was like... Starting out, I go, it's going to be a long time before anybody cares that I do this. And it did take a while, and I'm still working at it. So I've always went into it with the perspective of this might take 15, 20 years before things get moving.
So if you enjoy the process and you just keep doing it, which I have been, it's all good. You can only get better. And when you've got mentors around you that are doing this at the highest level, you can only learn more. You can only get sharper. You can only, you know, you're in an incubator of great comedy. And you're also a part of that incubator of great comedy.
So it's like everyone's just sharing and you guys are making each other better. All of these comedians in Nashville and Nate Land, you know, being around and with... With Nate, I think that's really great. And I do sense the momentum building for you. You've got a great 30-minute special. And you have been doing this for a while. You are the youngest comedian ever at the Grand Ole Opry.
Is that right? Yeah. Yeah. Now, I haven't done a ton of research to confirm that. But that sounds good. Correct. I checked it in three separate places, including chatty GPT. I said, chatty, tell me the truth here. But then he says, I'm not no one's going to commit a day to my comedy. Well, yes or no. You were part of the Guinness Book of World Records longest comedy show ever.
Longest live comedy show ever. Was that you? Yeah, I was part of the second iteration of that. So tell me what this is. They did... I'm trying to remember. God, it feels like a lifetime ago. This was pre-COVID. Oh, yeah, that's a whole different world.
It was spearheaded by a guy named Chad Ryden, and he wanted to break the record for the longest continuous stand-up comedy show, which at the time was set by the Laugh Factory in LA, and I think it was like five days, and they wanted to double it. Oh, my God. Ten straight days. Ten days, 24 hours. 24 hours. I mean, I did sets at 3.30 in the morning. Wow. Jeez. 8 a.m. I would leave.
