And I think, yeah, I think they're pretty representative of... you know, comedy club crowds all across the country. Like comedians will come in from LA or New York and they'll ask, they'll go, what are the crowds like here? Are they pretty conservative, pretty liberal? Like, are they, and I go, there's a good mix of everybody. Yeah.
So you're going to get a pretty good idea of, of how your material plays for most of America at a, at a Zany's crowd for sure. And that's what Kathleen was sharing with us. Kathleen was saying that, you know, there's certain parts of the United States of America that she feels more comfortable doing her brand of comedy, which is very Midwestern. It can be very blue.
She's not afraid to use a few words here and there, you know, and that's just the comedy that she has. But she said that Nashville, because of the turn of the tourists, and it's such a popular place to come, that there is kind of this sense that you're playing to the every crowd, right? You're learning how to cut your material.
When you go out now, do you find it hard after your special that you've got to cut another hour? Are you getting ready for the next special? Well, that was one of the really smart things Nate did for me was he told me to do a half-hour special. I was very confident. I came in. I was like, all right, I'm doing an hour on the road. Let's do an hour special. And Nate was like,
Who do you think you are?
I mean, it's a lot to ask somebody to watch anything for an hour now. True. Let alone a comedian they've never heard of. So I'm hoping people see, oh, it's only 29 minutes and 30 seconds. I'll kill some time while I'm washing dishes. And the other thing that did was it allowed me to, I wasn't starting from zero back out on the road.
I still had some material that I didn't do in the special that I could start from. But then I had a baby between. Oh, congratulations.
Yes. So we were like right in the middle of it when I was recording that. So it's interesting watching back me talking about that during the special.
Kids give you a whole line of material. I have 20 or 30. I don't know how many I have at this point. There's some more running around here. But they do give you a whole line of material. They always keep you on your feet. And at least for me, I'm always finding the humor in situations. You know, kids, you're right. When you're looking at the ultrasound, it's all shits and giggles.
You're getting the room ready.
You're getting ready. Thank you so much. You know, you got to figure it out. And the instructions are in a different language altogether. But I find that there is so much humor in raising children. And maybe as I get older, I'll find that it's not so funny when they're teenagers sneaking out of the house and getting arrested. What how are you feeling as a new dad?
Do you are you embracing this role? Does it become tougher to go out there and do shows and be out late night?
Yeah, we're still figuring out the sleep stuff, and that feels like a very fluid situation. It's so tough. She's not really sticking to a schedule just yet. How old is it? We're figuring it out. How old is it? Yeah, the travel is different. Yeah. I want to be home faster. Sure. I'm taking the early flights now. I'm taking the early flights home and the late flights out.
So that kind of stuff, we're still working on it. My wife's in comedy, too. She's in this industry. She is a comedy club manager. Oh, perfect. But still, it's a lot for sure. Oh, my God. I can't even imagine being out on the road. That's the one thing. And that's not the one thing. The fact that I'm not funny also has something to do with it.
But that's one of the things that holds me back from going up on a stage on a regular basis is that I don't want to be away from my children. And I also know myself, I think if I got used to the traveling, I would actually like it. I'd probably be like, oh, I do want to be away from my children. Yeah. Oh, wait, I changed my mind. Yeah. I mean, I won't lie to you. It's fun. Yeah, of course.
Yes, of course. But the more fun you're having, the more guilty you feel, right? So you're like, oh, geez.
That's that Catholic guilt coming back at you. I think it is. You know, I've never thought about it in those terms, but ever since you said that, I think that paints a lot of how I live my life. Yeah. You know, don't let Aaron fool you. He's a smart kid. He went to Notre Dame. How is that experience? Like, I don't know. I grew up in Chicago.
Notre Dame fans all throughout my family because we're a big Irish Catholic family. So there's, you know, I don't know, there's like a prerequisite that you have to like what Notre Dame. It kind of is, doesn't it? And in 1942, when I was a kid, it was some of the only college games on television were Notre Dame games. That was it.
That was why Notre Dame was such a popular team is because ABC had this longstanding contract to show all of their games. Why Notre Dame? And how was that experience for you going from Alabama to Notre Dame? It was great. So it was a bit of a family thing like a lot of Notre Dame guys. My dad went there, my two older siblings. My aunt went there.
I think at one point I had five first cousins there.
