And Aaron is with us now. Aaron, thank you very much for joining us from Nash Vegas, baby.
Thank you guys so much for having me, man. Well, we are very grateful for your time today. You are making waves out there in the comedy community, I hear. Let me ask you this. Let me start off with this. I just watched on your Instagram. I watched something. Who's that guy who does Extra and Access Hollywood stuff? Mario Lopez was talking about you being taken under the wing of Nate Bargatze.
So explain this relationship you have with Nate and what's going on there. I don't know. It's more of a work relationship. I don't really like Nate. I don't really like his comedy. He's a has-been. Nate's a has-been. If you're a comedian in Nashville, especially, Nate is the guy, and he has been for a long time. I'm very lucky to be in the same world as him, and he just happens to be...
the biggest comic in the world. It's crazy. I've been a part of his universe, I guess you could call it, since 2020. I've been on the podcast with him every week, and then he was nice enough to produce my special, which came out a couple months ago. Nate's been nothing but great to me from day one. Nashville is all of a sudden becoming ground zero for up-and-coming comics.
Let me give you a few names. Well, Kathleen Madigan. We just had Kathleen Madigan on the show last week. She's golfing with Nate. I mean, everyone who comes on the show mentions Nate. Ari Shaffir is flying on private plane with Nate or having lunch with him. Nate's everywhere. So there's Nate, there's Brian Bates, Dusty Slay, Shonda Pierce, Evan Berkey, Mariana Barksdale, Alison Summers.
They're all based in Nashville. It seems like Nashville has become quite this little hotbed of comedy. Give me your thoughts on why. Is it just a great place to live, great place to be based out of? I think it all trickles down from the club here in Nashville. Sany's Comedy Club. That's so fun.
They are so great to young comics and they give you a lot of opportunities early and they just opened up a second room. So there's a lot of really great stage time every night of the week. They really cultivate young talent, kind of believe in them before they believe in themselves. That's how they work for me. So it all stems down from that.
And then, yeah, just having guys like all the people you mentioned stick around Nashville. Yeah, it's huge, because even when I started, the thinking was you got to go to L.A., you got to go to New York, you got to leave Nashville if you want to be successful in comedy. But these guys have stuck around and done everything out of here.
So it's like if I don't need to move, I'd like to raise a family here and and continue to work out of here. So it's been great. Yeah, we're here in Atlanta, so we're in the southeast. We're blessed to have Nashville just a, not a short drive, but a drive away.
Nashville is lovely.
Yeah, it's not too bad once you get out of Atlanta traffic.
It gives me a headache just to think about it. And I work from home. I'm literally recording from my house. And I hate traffic. It's one of the decisions. We were talking about this when my kids go to school and we were trying to decide which school we were going to go to, they were going to go to. I was like, if it's not 10 minutes away from the house, I am going to have some kind of stroke.
Yeah. Because I can't deal with Atlanta traffic. Live here long enough and you'll understand. But Nashville also becoming the crowd of place. Bursting at the seams. Is it like, is it pennies from, well, you have been on Nateland. Have you been on Nateland since the podcast started? Yeah, so the original three, it was me, Nate, and Brian Bates. And we started, I think, July of 2020. Okay.
The world was very different. We had to try to find ways to keep doing comedy. Yeah, I guess it's almost been five years. That's crazy. It's pretty crazy.
that's crazy when you go out in this is just a curiosity question when you go out in public especially in nashville do people recognize you from the podcast or from only a few places okay i get recognized at the comedy club a bunch now yeah it's at the airport usually one or two people every time i'm there and then at the minor league baseball oh that's so fun i love those games
Now, if I go to the library or if I go to the, you know, the grocery store, I'm not getting recognized at all. Yeah. When you're recognized, they just don't care. They're like, eh, whatever. You know, it's like here in Atlanta. Nashville is used to seeing stars. Yeah, Nashville is used to seeing stars.
Here in Atlanta, we're so used to it being kind of a ground zero for production, you know, big studio productions. Oh, yeah. That you see famous people, you still get a little starry-eyed. Of course. But you know enough not to bother them. Like asking for a selfie where they're living is probably not the best of ideas. So when you're at Zany's, I imagine that Zany's is a great place to...
groom your comedy because Nashville is such a great tourist place, right? And so they have, you know, it's famous for the bachelorette parties and the bachelor parties and a big party town. So you're constantly churning those new people are coming in and you're working with different crowds and different people from across the United States. Do you feel like...
I want to be sure about how to say this. You're very funny, by the way. My wife and I watched your special. The special was hilarious. It was great. Thank you.
Do you... But I think what you're asking is Zany's is a pretty good cross-section. It's a good combination of tourists and locals.
