Main Discussion Themes & Key Points

1. The Rise of Nashville’s Comedy Scene

• Nashville's Growth
  • Nashville is described as a burgeoning hotbed for comedy, with top comics like Kathleen Madigan, Ron White, and Nate Bargatze now local or regulars.
  • Bryan explains: “Nashville has become quite this little hotbed of comedy… like when Joe Rogan moved to Austin, now everyone’s in Nashville.” (06:14)
• Zanies Comedy Club’s Influence
  • Aaron credits Zanies for fostering young comics with ample stage time and support:
    • “They are so great to young comics… believe in them before they believe in themselves.” (19:08)
• Comedy Festival Buzz
  • Nashville Comedy Festival draws major acts (Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser, Mark Normand, Jim Jefferies, Wanda Sykes).

2. Aaron’s Relationship with Nate Bargatze & Breaking In

• Mentorship & Collaboration
  • Aaron describes Nate as not just a mentor, but the nucleus of Nashville comedy:
    • “In Nashville especially, Nate is the guy… it’s crazy. I’ve been a part of his universe since 2020.” (17:53)
  • Nate produced Aaron’s first special, and provides recurring opportunities for comics in his sphere.
• Advice from Nate
  • Nate directed Aaron to do a half-hour special instead of a full hour:
    • “Who do you think you are?” (24:13, paraphrasing Nate)
    • “It’s a lot to ask somebody to watch anything for an hour… let alone a comedian they’ve never heard of.” (24:16)
• Being Part of the Community
  • The sense of support, synergy, and “incubator” environment: “All these comedians… making each other better. And you’re a part of that.” (54:45)

3. Aaron’s Comedy Approach: Clean, Relatable, Real

• Clean Comedy and Creative Freedom
  • Aaron didn’t set out to be a ‘clean comic’—it’s a byproduct of his personality and upbringing, not a restriction:
    • “I am saying everything I want to say… it’s just how I am.” (47:59)
    • “Biggest compliment I get is people don’t even notice [my act is clean].” (50:28)
    • He avoids “clean comedy night” labels: “If people know me, they know; but I want anybody to come and not even notice.” (51:17)
• Material Source: Everyday Life
  • Jokes emerge from common experiences (urgent care visits, parenthood, marriage, travel).
• Notable Bit
  • Aaron’s riff on urgent care:
    • “Urgent care is like, ‘Do you have $40? Let’s figure this out together. We don’t know more than you… Let’s tackle this sinus infection as a team, and that’s fun.’” (00:16)

4. The Realities of New Fatherhood

• Life Changes
  • Recent transition to parenthood (“I had a baby… three weeks after shooting the special.” (24:46))
  • Impact on travel and performing:
    • “I want to be home faster… I’m taking the early flights now.” (26:47)
  • Navigating sleep deprivation and rebalancing career/family.

5. Comedy, Career, and Growth

• Favorite Clubs and Cities
  • Zanies (Nashville), Comedy Works (Denver), and The Grove (Lowell, Arkansas—a “surprisingly nice, affluent part of the country”). (41:15)
• Unique Gigs
  • Grand Ole Opry’s youngest comedian (55:31)
  • Stand-up gig at Notre Dame reunion—Aaron behind a podium in a hockey arena for MBAs and hedge-fund types:
    • “As if they found a list of everything to ensure a comedy show would go bad… terrible sound, terrible lighting…” (30:38)
• Guinness World Record
  • Participated in “longest continuous standup comedy show”—10 days, 24/7. “I did sets at 3:30 in the morning, then went back to work.” (56:11)

6. Generational Differences & Technological Shifts

• Children & Tech
  • Stories of kids expecting instant satisfaction (no ad tolerance, digital nativity), and the nostalgia for things like Encyclopedia Britannica:
    • “My children… will never have the joy of Encyclopedia Britannica… or have to watch a commercial if they don’t want.” (57:18)
  • “It’s insane. They picked it up, understood [a phone] intuitively… it was scary almost.” (58:41)
• Physical Side Effects of Tech
  • “Our pinky is a little bent now from holding the phone…” (59:01)

7. Funny, Genuine Moments & Notable Quotes

• Quips on Kid Rock:
  • “I watched a two-hour video… by the time Kid Rock gets up there, it’s a weird vibe… the crowd is non-reactionary… Kid’s out there in full furs jumping around the stage like a three-year-old.” (13:47)
• Clean Comedy Label:
  • “If people know me, they know [it’s clean] but I want anybody to come and they won’t even notice.” (51:17)
• Comedy Special Length:
  • “It’s way better for people to go, ‘That felt short,’ than ‘that was a little long.’” (52:11)
• On Cloth Diapers:
  • “I was raised on cloth diapers… pictures of me look ridiculous. Enormous.” (33:45)
• Travel Tales:
  • Planning dates with the baby: “Go on as many dates as you can right now… you get another six months, it’s a whole different situation.” (36:42)
• Cold Showers & Trends:
  • On refusing “wellness” fads: “My mind is so strong that I can’t convince it I have to do this.” (37:32)

Transcript

[Aaron Weber]

I don't know if y' all been to an urgent care, go check it out. It's fun. I like it in there. There's a. You know, it's better than a real doctor, I think. There's no ego at an urgent care. That's what's fun. You know, you go to a doctor's office, they talk down to you. Right. Diplomas on the wall. They're like, I went to school. I know everything. Urgent care is like, do you have $40? Let's figure this out together. We don't know any more than you. You know, let's put our heads, tackle this sinus infection as a team, and that's fun. You know how you fill out all your info in the lobby on, like a clipboard and then they take you to another room and act like you never did that? So the nurse comes in. We're face to face. She's asking me questions. She goes, what are you in for? I said, my nose is clogged. She said, you been taking anything? I said, just Sudafed. And she goes, oh, can you spell that for me? I was like, sudafed?

[Brian Green]

That may be.

[Aaron Weber]

I would like you to take a stab at it, though.

[Rachel]

Right.

[Aaron Weber]

Feels like something you should know. I know y' all share a lease with a T mobile store, but this feels like day one stuff, honestly. Look, I've been taking ibuprofen as well, so maybe I sounded that one out.

[Brian Green]

On this episode of the commercial break. But the other thing I think about is that my children, even though they love books now, they will never have the joy of Encyclopedia Britannica. Holding one of those and flipping through it and, you know, I don't know, coming upon a naked.

[Aaron Weber]

You can't browse for anything.

[Brian Green]

No.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah, you have to, like, look for something specific.

[Brian Green]

That's it.

[Aaron Weber]

It's so funny you mentioned that. My. My wife's cousin, I was just talking to him and he told me that his kid was watching a TV show on his tablet or something, and a commercial came on and he thought it was bro. He was like, well, something's wrong. It's not exactly what I wanted it to be.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Aaron Weber]

I was like, man, it's just so different. The next episode of the commercial break starts now.

[Brian Green]

10:30 in the morning. Oh, yeah. Cats and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Kristin Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chris, and best to you, Brian. Best to you out there in the podcast. Universe. Notice I had to take five breaths to get that out. This never ending sinus infection never ends. There you go. It just keeps on coming. But I did feel a little bit better.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Good.

[Brian Green]

Not that you asked, but I feel a little bit better.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

I asked you.

[Brian Green]

You don't ask me anything. You don't care. You don't care about me. You don't care. No one cares. No one cares. Except for the listeners. They, they, they write in hope you die. Hope Brian feels better. Where's Astrid?

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yes, yes.

[Brian Green]

Everybody loves the ladies of the show, but I am not, I am not the most loved part of this show. I will share that right now. Fine. You get no episodes of the commercial break. None. Take it off air. How's that? TCB Infomercial Tuesday with Aaron Weber. Aaron Webber, an up and coming comic from the Nashville comedy scene. The Nashville comedy scene is quite the scene. Apparently.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

It's exploding.

[Brian Green]

I'll share with you in a minute what's going on at the Nashville Comedy Festival, which is right around the corner in just a couple weeks in April. So if you're out there, it's quite a big deal. And quite a few comics who have been on this show are going to be in Nashville at some point during the comedy festival doing it, including our very first ever celebrity guest, Veer Das, who's doing like six different shows at the Nashville Comedy Festival. That's amazing. Isn't that crazy?

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Good for Veer. He's doing Zany's. Good for Veer.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Good for Veer.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Poor Veer.

[Brian Green]

Poor Veer.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

That was our poor Veer. And the fact that he was our first interview.

[Brian Green]

He was our first interview and it could not have, he could not have been nicer sitting at the floor of his hotel room hugging onto a pillow, hoping that this never gets anywhere outside the bounds of the TCB RSS feed. So Aaron Weber is a up and coming comic. He is one of the co hosts of Naetland, the podcast Naetland with Nate Bargazi, who is of course probably the biggest comedian in the world right now. I would say him, Sebastian Maniscalco and some others who are just selling out theater after theater room after. No, Nate Bargazi is selling out arenas. Excuse me, let me put it that way, as is Sebastian. That's arenas. He's coming here and we wanted to get tickets. I was like, let you know, after we watched his special, Astrid and I were really impressed. He was really funny at first. It was a little for me, I'm just sharing my personal opinion. It was a little slow. I was like, oh, this he's a little slow and plotting. But it didn't take long before I turned a corner, and I was like, this is on purpose. And this is really funny. Like, he is. That is his brand of comedy. He knows what he's doing. He knows how to work a room, even when that room is 12,000 people. So I say to Astrid, let's go. Let's. We enjoyed a special, and now I've watched all of his. I mean, all of his specials. And I said, let's go. But the tickets are like three or four hundred dollars because it's sold out, and you can only get them on the secondary market, which is just insane when you think about it. That a comedian selling out 12, 13, 14, 15,000 seats in a night, multiple nights in a row, that's insane. We couldn't sell out Danya Point, which is like 13 or 14 seats in a row.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

I know. It is amazing to think about, though, because when I think of comedians being on stage, I think about going to a comedy club and watching or a theater, something like that.

[Brian Green]

Yeah, maybe the Tabernacle or the Fox or Serena. Yeah, an arena. An arena. Like the place where he's playing here, which is State Farm Arena.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

It's huge.

[Brian Green]

It holds, like, 22,000 people. 18, 20,000 people, depending on how it's set up. And he's sold it out. And I think there's two nights, if I'm not mistaken. That's insane that 40,000 people here in Atlanta, if I'm not mistaken about the second show, 40,000 people here in Atlanta are going to go see Nate. That's a deal. That's a vibe. That's a scene. That's a thing. And Aaron is one of the comics that Nate has taken on the crew. He's part of the crew. Nate is starting this, like, incubator. I say starting. I don't know what the actual deal is. We have talked to Nate, but in my mind, he started this incubator where he's taking new comics under his wing, producing specials, mentoring, mentoring, putting him on the show, on the podcast. I'm sure that they do some opening for him when he goes out to clubs and stuff like that. So Aaron is the first one who's had his. His first comic who's had his special produced by Nate, and I think that's really cool that he's coming on the show. So Aaron's going to be here in just a few minutes. Aaron is also part of the burgeoning Nashville comedy scene. And I'd like to ask why Nashville has all of a sudden become this kind of ground zero for really good comedy. But Nate being one of those. We just talked to Kathleen Madigan last week. She's in Nashville. Ron White has been in and out of Nashville, apparently. It's like, you know how when Joe Rogan moved to Austin, all of a sudden everybody, you know, had to move to Austin. Everyone was in Austin. Well, it turns out it just Elon moved to Austin, and now everybody else is moving to Nashville. I mean, I'm sure there's still lots of people who live in Austin.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. My family, for one.

[Brian Green]

Your family lives in Austin? Yeah. I didn't know that.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

You're what, on my dad's side, yeah.

[Brian Green]

Oh, on your dad. Okay. Like your extended family and.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, my aunt and some cousins are out there. My grandmother.

[Brian Green]

When you said your family, I felt like you were meaning, like, your dad and I was like your dad. When did your dad move to Austin?

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

No, he's close.

[Brian Green]

And why doesn't he invite us over? Isn't it. Is he.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

There's an open invitation out to my dad's place.

[Brian Green]

Listen, he's on the. Is he like the Villages Lake version over there? Yeah.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Enjoying retired life.

[Brian Green]

Why. Why are we not going out there every weekend? I mean, we're almost there. You know what I'm saying? We're just a few short years away from being there. We might as well go there and, you know, make our presence known. We will be doing the commercial break from the Villages Lake version sooner rather than later.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

From the clubhouse.

[Brian Green]

Yes. I want to get a vibe, you know, find the dealers, figure out which bars we can go to.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Exactly.

[Brian Green]

Because, listen, I don't do a lot of drinking right now, but trust me, as soon as these kids leave the house, I'm back on the wagon. I'm back off the wagon, actually. I'm falling right off. I'm going to be back to 13 bud lights a day, because at that point, what do I fucking care? You know what I'm saying? I've done my job. I raised the kids. No more hangovers and children. If they call me and it's an emergency, it's somebody else's emergency at that point. So, Nashville, quite the hot scene for up and coming comedians and established comedians. They have the Nashville Comedy Festival that is happening April 3rd through the 13th. Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser, Mark Norman, Jim Jeffries, Wanda Sykes. All part damn. I know. That right in and of itself is, like, reason to travel to Go see some of the most famous and popular comedians that are out there right now.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

It's an easy drive up there. We could road trip it.

[Brian Green]

Hey, listen, I'm not opposed to it. Yeah, you know, I was talking to our agent. That sounds so douchey. I was talking to a person who works with the show, our agent. I was talking to one of our agents, actually, and they were saying, you know, you really need to make it a habit of asking the comedians who come on the show to. To give you tickets to the show so that you can go and, you know, build relationships and see what's going on and be on ground zero. And, you know, that should be one of the perks that you do. But I don't do that because that's. That's. Doesn't feel really good to me. Ari Shafir is, like, one of the only people who I actually felt comfortable asking, even at the ask, really. I just was texting him and he was like, I'll get you tickets to the show. Don't worry about it. And he was very generous in that way. Thank you, Ari. Really appreciate it. But there are a lot of people who say, yeah, come see me when I'm in Atlanta. Yeah, come. But, like, I don't want to feel like a douchebag and be like. Like, if I asked Veer Das for tickets to the Nashville Comedy Festival, I think he would be like, who?

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, who?

[Brian Green]

Who is that? You don't remember the commercial break? Oh, yeah. The worst interview I've ever done. Yes, I do remember the commercial break. And no, you cannot have tickets that got to my show.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

I don't want to be associated.

[Brian Green]

Well, listen, you can hardly blame him. He's. He's doing. Yeah. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 shows. That's crazy. He's doing seven shows in one festival. But one of the things I did want to point out for those who do is Kid Rock's Comedy Jam will be during the Nashville Comedy Festival. So if you're interested in. You want me to see if I can get tickets to Kid Rock's Comedy Jam now? I have zero interest in seeing Kid Rock's Comedy Jam. Well, first of all, I'm not into Kid Rock's music, so, you know, not anymore. Well, I don't think I've really ever been.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

I went to a couple of concerts.

[Brian Green]

You did?

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yeah, I liked it. And then, you know, then. Then I didn't.

[Brian Green]

I watched a video, and this video was, like two hours long. And don't ask me why I watch don't you know I have children and I don't know how I. Why I'm up till three in the morning watching videos like this.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

I know. Meanwhile I ask you, I'm like, you know, you really need to get into this show. You really need to get into that show. I don't have time.

[Brian Green]

No, I don't have time. No, I don't have time. I'm already telling you right now, I don't have time. It's not that I have the time. It's that sometimes I get sucked into something, you know? You know what I'm saying? Like a good book. Only Brian's watching a live. Like someone that was on YouTube live, you know what I'm saying? Like they recorded it and now it's living on YouTube forever. And I don't think he or she realized that it's going to live on YouTube forever. It's @ Sturgis, the motorcycle rally. Oh yeah, it's pouring down rain. And it's two hours of, one hour of him or her waiting for Kid Rock to come on the stage at the Buffalo Chip and then an hour of Kid Rock on stage at the Buffalo Chip doing his thing. So I'm watching this and it's one of. It's just like a fascinating look at humanity as this person is like scanning around the audience, talking to random people, zooming in on boobs and butts and you know, things like this. And it's dark and it's raining and it's muddy and everybody's kind of, you know, miserable but drinking and trying to have a good time. And you watch as like the crowd just kind of thins out. And when by the time Kid Rock gets up there, it's really, it's a really weird vibe because even though the first song he sings is Bow with a bow or what about the crowd is non reactionary to any of it. They're not bouncing, they're not bow with a bowing, they're not doing anything. And Kid is out there in full furs jumping around the stage like a three year old, you know. And everybody's just like, could be the rain. Could have been that it was. Looks a little chilly out there. Could be that took a long time for him to get on stage because all I could, all I know is that when he was panning around the crowd and talking to certain people or she, they kept talking about people on the camera, kept talking about when was Kid going to come on? Like how long do we have to wait? And all this other stuff. So. And that right there convinced me that I do not need to attend a Kid Rock concert anytime in the near future. It's not for me. It's just not. I watched it and I did it. And so why would you. What? In.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

What.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Universe. Been there, done.

[Brian Green]

That. Why did you.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Like. Yeah. Years ago. I liked his.

[Brian Green]

Music. You did? Okay. All right. This guy I knew from Tampa, he worked at one of the Chili's that I worked at. And we would always go and get rowdy together, right? We'd go get a kids margarita and one time went to kids margarita, like double kids margarita. We both got off at the afternoon shift and so we were gonna go hang out, go to the bar, party all night long. We went to his parents house where he was living in this like bedroom community here in Atlanta and his parents were out of town. And I'll never forget this beautiful house, beautiful living room, beautiful entertainment system. Like you couldn't touch a thing. It was like a museum, right? And here we are cutting lines on this glass table and he puts in this cd. He's like, these guys, these guys are so big in Tampa. It's gonna be the next big thing. You're never gonna believe it. These guys are awesome. This is the best rock and roll I've ever heard in my entire life. And he puts on bow. With a bow. He puts on Kid.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Rock.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. First time I had ever heard it. I don't think it was anywhere on the radio. I think it was just like a CD that was floating around Tampa for some reason. I guess Tampa's where all this shit floats around. And I remember thinking to myself, yeah, that's. That's not for me, you know, that's. That's not my thing. These guys aren't going to go anywhere. And then Kid Rock becomes the biggest thing since sliced bread. There was a time, there was a time when Kid.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Rock. There was a moment in time.

[Brian Green]

When you were like, oh, that's Kid.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Rock.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, I don't need to talk about Kid Rock. I'm going to talk about Aaron Weber. Aaron Weber's new special specialty dish is on YouTube. The link is in the show notes. We'll put the link all week long. Aaron is also on the Naatland podcast. He of course does a lot of stand up comedy. And so you can go to his website. I'll put the link there and you can find out if he's coming to a city near you or if you're going to be in Nashville. I know he's plays Zany's a lot, so you can check him out. Why don't we do this? And I'm going to press these buttons myself, Chrissy, if you don't mind. Okay, why don't we do this? Let's take a short break, and then when we get back through the magic of tele podcasting, Ms. Hoadley, we are going to have Aaron right here with us. What do you.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Think? I think we should do.

Baby. Hello.

[Aaron Weber]

Aaron. Thank you guys so much for having me.

[Brian Green]

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? Mario Lopez. Mario Lopez was talking about you being taken under the wing of Nate Borgozzi. So explain this relationship you have with Nate and what's going on.

[Aaron Weber]

There. I don't know. It's more of a work relationship. I don't really like Nate. Yeah, no, he's.

[Brian Green]

A. Has been. Nate's a. Has been.

[Aaron Weber]

Mean. In Nashville especially. Nate is the guy, and he has been for a long time. So I'm very lucky to be in the same world as. As him. And he just happens to be the biggest comic in the world, so 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. So Nate's been nothing but great to me from day.

[Brian Green]

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 Shafir is flying on private plane with Nate or having lunch with him. Nate's everywhere. So there's Nate, there's Brian Bates, Dusty Slayer, 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.

[Aaron Weber]

Of? I think it all trickles down from the club here in.

[Brian Green]

Nashville.

[Aaron Weber]

Zany. Zany's Comedy.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Club. That's so.

[Aaron Weber]

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.

[Brian Green]

Then.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. Just having guys like all the people you mentioned stick around.

[Brian Green]

Nashville.

[Aaron Weber]

Yep. Is huge. Because even when I started, the thinking was, you got to go to la, you got to go to New York. You gotta 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 continue to work out of here. So it's been.

[Brian Green]

Great. Yeah, we are in the. You know, 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.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Lovely. Four hours.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. Nashville. It's not too busy once you get out of.

[Brian Green]

Atlanta.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Traffic. Exactly. It's an hour just to get out of.

[Brian Green]

Downtown. It gives me a headache just to Think about it. And I work from home and I was literally recording from my house and I. 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 gonna go to, they were gonna go to. I was like, if it's not 10 minutes away from the house, I am going to have some kind of stroke because I can't deal with Atlanta traffic. Live here long enough and you'll understand. But Nashville also.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Becoming. Growing.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. Right below the crowd of race Houston at the seams.

[Brian Green]

Yep. Is it like, is it pennies from. Well, you have been on Naatland. Have you been on Naelyn since the podcast.

[Aaron Weber]

Started? Yeah. So the original three, it was me, Nate and Brian Bates, and we started, I think July of.

[Brian Green]

2020.

[Aaron Weber]

Okay. The world was very different. We had to find ways to keep doing comedy and, you know. Yeah. I guess it's almost been five.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Years. That's.

[Brian Green]

Crazy. That's crazy. When you go out in. This is just a curiosity question. When you go out in public, especially in Nashville, people recognize you from the podcast or from only comedy a few places.

[Aaron Weber]

Okay. I get recognized at the comedy club a bunch.

[Brian Green]

Now.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. It's at the airport, usually one or two people every time I'm there. And then at the minor league.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Baseball. Oh, that's so fun. I love those.

[Aaron Weber]

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.

[Brian Green]

All. Yeah. Maybe you recognize. They just don't. They're like, what? You know, it's like here in.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Atlanta. Used to seeing.

[Brian Green]

Stars. Yeah, Nashville's 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.

[Aaron Weber]

Productions. Oh.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. That you see famous people, you still get a little starry eyed, but you know, not to bother, 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. When you're at Zany's, I imagine that Zany's is. Is a great place to groom your comedy because Nashville is such a great tourist place. Right. And so they have the, you know, the bat. 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. As do you feel like I. I want to make Be sure about how to say this. You're comedy. You're very funny. By the way, my wife and I watched your special. Was.

[Aaron Weber]

Great. Thank.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

You. The wolf urine. I was, like, doubled over. Appreciate.

[Brian Green]

It. Do.

[Aaron Weber]

You. But I think what you're asking is Zany's is a pretty good cross section. It's a good combination of.

[Brian Green]

Tourists. Yes. Locals.

[Aaron Weber]

Yes. 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, what are the crowds like here? Are they pretty conservative, pretty liberal? Like, are they? And I go, there's a good mix of.

[Brian Green]

Everybody.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. So you're gonna get a pretty good idea of how your material plays for most of America at a. At a Zany's crowd, for.

[Brian Green]

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's very. It can be very blue. She's not afraid to use a few words here and there. You know, that's just the comedy that. 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.

[Aaron Weber]

Crowd.

[Brian Green]

Right. You're. You're learning how to cut your material when you go out now, is it. Is it. Do you find it hard after your special that you've got to cut another hour? Are you getting ready for the next.

[Aaron Weber]

Special? Well, that was one of the really smart things Nate did for me, was he told me to do a half hour.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Special.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. 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.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Are? Start.

[Aaron Weber]

There. I mean, it's a lot to ask somebody to watch anything for an hour.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Now.

[Aaron Weber]

True. Let alone a comedian they've never heard of. So I'm hoping people say, oh, it's only 29 minutes and 30 seconds. I'll, you know, I'll kill some time while I'm washing dishes. And then. 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. I had a baby.

[Brian Green]

Between. Oh, congratulations.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. I saw that in the special you were talking about you're about to have the.

[Aaron Weber]

Baby. Yes. So we were like, right in the middle of it when I was recording that. So it's. It's interesting. Watching back me talking about that during the special, I was like, oh, that guy had no idea, right?

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. You were just looking at the ultrasounds at that.

[Aaron Weber]

Point. Exactly. I had no idea what my life was going to be. And then I think three weeks later, after that was recorded, we had the baby. So between that and when I went back out on the road, I have a lot more stuff to talk.

[Brian Green]

About. 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 somewhere 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, like, getting the.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Room.

[Brian Green]

Right? Of course. Yeah. You have some nerves. You're like, oh, my God, what am I going to do? They don't come with instructions. You got to figure all this shit out. But when they come, you don't have. You realize that you had no clue what was coming your way. It is an immense amount of drama thrown right at you, and you got to figure it all. It's like an I. It's like putting together IKEA furniture, 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.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Night? Probably deprived a little.

[Aaron Weber]

Bit. Yeah. We're still figuring out the sleep stuff. And that. That feels like a very fluid situation. It's not really sticking to a schedule just.

[Brian Green]

Yet. How old.

[Aaron Weber]

Is? We're figuring it.

[Brian Green]

Out. How old.

[Aaron Weber]

Is. Yeah, the travel is. It's.

[Brian Green]

Different.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. I want to be home.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Faster.

[Aaron Weber]

Sure. I'm taking the early flights now. I'm taking the early flights home and the late flights out. So, like that kind of stuff. We're still. We're still working on it. My wife's in comedy, too. She's in this industry she, she is a comedy club manager.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

So. Oh.

[Brian Green]

Wow.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. But still, it's, it's a lot. For.

[Brian Green]

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. That doesn't. That doesn't. But. 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. Oh, wait, I changed my.

[Aaron Weber]

Mind. Yeah. I mean, I won't lie to.

[Brian Green]

You. It's fun. Of course. Yes, of.

[Aaron Weber]

Course. But the more fun you're having, the more guilty you.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Feel.

[Aaron Weber]

Right. So you're like, oh, geez, I.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Gotta. That's the.

[Brian Green]

Catholic. That's that Catholic Guild coming back at you. I think it.

[Aaron Weber]

Is. You know, I've never thought about it in those terms, but ever since you said that, I think that that paints a lot of how I live my life, for.

[Brian Green]

Sure. You know, don't let Aaron fool you. He went to, he's smart kid. He went to Notre Dame. How is that experience? Like, I don't know. For some, 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 like, have to like what Notre Dame. And they were kind of is. 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 long standing contract to show all of their games. Why Notre Dame? And, and how was that experience for you going from Alabama to Notre.

[Aaron Weber]

Dame? It was great. So it was a bit of a family thing, like a lot of Notre Dame guys. My, my dad went there, my two older siblings, my aunt went there. I think at one point I had five first cousins.

[Brian Green]

There. No.

[Aaron Weber]

Way. So it was a big family thing because we're a big Catholic family from, from Alabama. So I loved it. I have no regrets. I'm still paying them. Yeah, but, and you know, it's one of those things. It's like I, I probably, if I knew I was going to do stand up comedy I could have just.

[Brian Green]

Not. You could have just not done.

[Aaron Weber]

That. Stand.

[Brian Green]

Up.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. So maybe that would have made more sense to do that. But I. I have no regrets. It was a great experience. I still am very lot of the. The guys I. I met there, so I love it. I'm still a huge Notre Dame fan. It's fun to every football season, reconnect with my old.

[Brian Green]

Buddy. Do you go up to South Bend season this year?

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. You did it. It's great, man.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. It feels like Notre Dame is back to the old. The days of glory. They had a great season this year. Do you go up to South Bend and watch the games? Do you still go up.

[Aaron Weber]

There? I try to. It's tougher now that I'm working every weekend. Yeah. But there was a while there where. Yeah, I tried to go up for at least one or two and now I'm trying to find. I just booked a. I did the. My 10 year reunion last.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Year. Oh.

[Aaron Weber]

Nice. Which.

[Brian Green]

Was. You're not that old, are you? Really? Yeah. Ten years.

[Aaron Weber]

Huh? Golly. Yeah. It's crazy to say the gig was terrible, but it was fun to be back on campus for a.

[Brian Green]

Bit. Wait, hold on. Did you do the 10 year reunion? Did you.

[Aaron Weber]

Like. I did stand.

[Brian Green]

Up. You did stand up at your ten year reunion. Oh, yeah. Okay, so now you got to tell us about this. So why was it terrible? It's just like a crowd full of drunk people who probably are not paying attention to what you're.

[Aaron Weber]

Doing. No, you know, I thought that that's what it would be, but the. The people are actually great. It was. It was as if they found a list that I had made of everything to ensure a comedy show would go.

[Brian Green]

Bad. Terrible sound, terrible.

[Aaron Weber]

Lighting. Yeah. We were in, I mean, a hollowed out old hockey arena. Huge room. Oh, my God. Had a small stage with a.

[Brian Green]

Podium. I mean, it was just like.

[Aaron Weber]

A podium setup imaginable for a stand up show. But I think it was so bad that they kind of. The crowd even understood what an impossible.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Setup.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. So I ended up having fun, but it was like, if I come back and do this again, I'm gonna have to make.

[Brian Green]

Some.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Yeah. Yes. Yeah. That was.

[Brian Green]

Brave. Behind a podium with like the Notre Dame symbol in front of it. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to do some.

[Aaron Weber]

Comedy. There was a lot of pressure because you can imagine most of my Notre Dame friends are very successful. They have crazy careers now. I don't even understand what they do for a living. I mean, they're like, yeah, you know, I'm a hedge fund manager, accountant for E and Y. I'm like, I don't even know what any of those words. And then. And I'm like, well, this is what I've been doing for 10 years. Yeah, I hope it goes.

[Brian Green]

Well. Yeah, this.

[Aaron Weber]

Is. This is what I've been.

[Brian Green]

Doing. Hey, I've been at Zany's for 10 years. You could go back to your eny and do your hedge fund manager. You go back to making your millions of.

[Aaron Weber]

Dollars. I'm not here making a real difference in the world. What are you.

[Brian Green]

Doing? What are you. Oh my God, that is hilarious. I have. The picture of you up there with the podium is actually pretty funny. You. And by the way, if you ever need somebody to drive you up to South Bend, like, like it's, you know, a dd I'm happy to take you there. Just give me a ticket so I can get in the door. That's like the golden goose of fandom for a lot of my family is going to a Notre Dame game. And I'm like, then why did you never go to a Notre Dame game? Why didn't you just drive over to South Bend and go to a Notre Dame.

[Aaron Weber]

Game? It's not that easy available to.

[Brian Green]

Anybody. I know. That's what I keep telling my father. And he just didn't understand. He was like, well, I gotta get tickets and there's got hotel rooms. And I'm like, yeah, it's called travel, dad. All you have to do is pick up the.

[Aaron Weber]

[e-mail]. i got a suitcase. I got a. Yeah.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. He paid like $4,000 to see the Cubs win the World Series. But you can't pay 40 dol dollars to go see Notre Dame, your favorite team ever, it.

[Aaron Weber]

Seems. That's pretty cool though. I get that. That probably felt like a once in a lifetime.

[Brian Green]

Thing. Yes. And you know, I was so. I kicked myself repeated. I watched it here. I cried. I. As a lifelong die hard Cubs fan, I died every season and. But when the tickets became 7, 8, $9000, I also was on my way to my first child and I just couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a Cubs ticket. I should have spent the money.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Because. Yeah, you're going to debt.

[Brian Green]

Anyway. I'm gonna go into debt.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Anyways.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. And you know what? Does my kid really need another speaking spell. He's got 12 of them. Like he could have done without, you know, he doesn't even.

[Aaron Weber]

Care. Reuse these diapers a.

[Brian Green]

Bit. I told my wife Spray them off. Cloth diapers. I'm gonna go see the Cubs. I'll talk to you later. I'll be back on.

[Aaron Weber]

Tuesday. You know, I was raised on cloth.

[Rachel]

Diapers.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. And the pictures of me as a baby, I look.

[Brian Green]

Ridiculous. It's.

[Aaron Weber]

Silly. Enormous.

[Brian Green]

Looking.

[Aaron Weber]

Yes. With the big picture, I mean, they look.

[Brian Green]

Crazy. Yeah. It's like I was raised on cloth diapers. I still have a yeast infection. And there's, like this service that comes and picks them up and cleans them for you. You know, there's like, services you can get, but it all just sounds so gross. I mean, I thought. We thought about cloth diapers because we thought it'll save us money, it'll treat the environment right. You know, you don't throw away all that.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Trash. But how much does a service.

[Brian Green]

Cost? Enough to not make it make sense. Do you know what I'm saying? It's not cheap enough that you go, oh, that clearly is a choice to be made here. It's like you can pay $100 every week for diapers or whatever it is.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Right?

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Yeah. You're buying the diapers my wife's buying. We have to get the ones from Europe. They're dye free, they're perfume free, they don't smell. And I'm like, by the third child, we were buying the CVS brand shitters. You know what I'm saying? The.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Crawlers. Trash.

[Brian Green]

Bags. Yeah, CVS crawlers. That's what they are. They're like those old Kroger bags. You just put them over them and let them run around. When you have the first kid, everything is so very important. You don't know what you're doing, so you don't want to make the mistake. By the time you get a couple of them, you realize that a lot of these choices that you're making are just. They're just setting up your eventual financial doom. Do you know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah, yeah. And so, like, I'll give you an example. There's like a consignment sale that goes on every three months here. And you'll learn this, Aaron, as your kid gets older and you probably. Are you gonna have another one? Are you intending to have.

[Aaron Weber]

More? We're not. We're not looking that.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Far. Yeah, you're like, one day at a.

[Brian Green]

Time. He's like, I haven't gotta get through the day.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Right? One day at a.

[Brian Green]

Time. I haven't slept in two months, Brian. I'm not looking to do anything. But, you know, there's this Consignment sale. You take your stuff and it's huge. There's like thousands of people that go. And hundreds of people that put their stuff, their kids stuff out there. And so we went. You know, my wife Astrid, she puts all this stuff, all this old baby stuff and she takes it to the consignment sale so we can get back a little bit of money. And I'm. I'm thinking to myself, that's really smart, hun. That's really smart. But then I think a step further and I go, if we were really smart, we would have gone to the consignment sale to buy all this shit in the first.

[Aaron Weber]

Place.

[Brian Green]

Place. The kid does not know the.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Difference. No. And they grow so.

[Brian Green]

Fast. Yeah, they.

[Aaron Weber]

Really. Yeah, that's the other thing. I, you know, I splurged on some like, they have these magnetic me's. I don't know if you've.

[Brian Green]

Seen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. They're like the onesies with the magnets on them and it is so.

[Brian Green]

Convenient. It's.

[Aaron Weber]

Lovely. Like, let's get a bunch of these. And then. Yeah, she's in a new size.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Right? I know.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah.

[Brian Green]

That's. Wait until she starts wearing shoes. Yeah. And. Oh, she's. And how old is she.

[Aaron Weber]

Now? Five months.

[Brian Green]

Now. Five months old. Oh, such a wonderful age. Because they're still a little mushy, but now they can hold their own heads, you know, but they're still a little mushy. Go on as many dates as you can right now, Aaron. I'm just sharing that with you right now. Take the kid. Go on dates because you get another six months into it and it's gonna be a whole different.

[Aaron Weber]

Situation. Everything.

[Brian Green]

Changes. Everything changes. I love this bit that you did on Instagram. I was watching it a couple days ago about the cold showers. Your friends are, who are taking like, you know, the col. Cold showers, cold plunges and stuff like that. We talked about this so much on this show and I have to agree with you 1000%. I don't know what the point is in purposefully torturing yourself to make you more. I don't know, stronger, more intelligent, healthier. I'm not sure what the point is, but there is nothing about a cold.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Shower. Just say you did.

[Brian Green]

It. Yeah. Just say you did it. Yeah. Just say you did.

[Aaron Weber]

It. Yeah. In the bid, it's a buddy of mine said the fact that I couldn't do cold shower meant my mind is right. And I was like, I was thinking about it and I was like, no, My mind is so strong that I can't convince it. I have to do this.

[Brian Green]

Exactly. I love it. I love it. Have you ever done that? What is the. What is the trend besides cold showers that you refuse to do? Like, I'm not. One of the things that all my friends are into is the Wim Hof. So they will go out on a cold day and they'll do the Wim Hof breathing. Wim Hof is a type of. Of breath work. And I'm like, listen, I've been breathing just.

[Aaron Weber]

Fine.

[Brian Green]

Dude. Yeah, he's a dude. And they call it the Wim Hof breathing. But then the guy is still alive. He's the guy who started all of this cold plunge, cold air, hot, you know, train your brain to not be cold kind of shit. I was like, I told my friend Rafa, I said, rafa, I've been breathing just fine for 40 plus years. I don't need. I don't need any Wim.

[Aaron Weber]

Hof. Yeah, I don't know if I've embraced any of these and I've tried a few of them. I remember I went through like an apple cider vin. I don't know, I don't even remember what I was told it would.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Do everything, but I was like, it does everything. Anything that's.

[Aaron Weber]

Wrong. What does that even.

[Brian Green]

Mean? Yeah.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Exactly. Anything that's wrong with.

[Aaron Weber]

You. Yeah, mostly I'm just eating toms now and just praying for the.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Best. There you.

[Brian Green]

Go. Colloidal silver, I think is my favorite. The colloidal silver.

[Aaron Weber]

Face. Oh, wow. I just watched a documentary about.

[Brian Green]

That. That. Did you watch that? The lady about the.

[Aaron Weber]

Lady. I am God, that said she was.

[Brian Green]

God. Yeah, I am God or whatever it.

[Aaron Weber]

Is. An overdose on.

[Brian Green]

That. Yes. And she was blue. In the movie, they show that picture of her that. That young lady had turned blue. Blue.

[Aaron Weber]

Is. I could get into that. I could see myself doing.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

That. That's when you'd.

[Brian Green]

Laugh. I had this friend, and I call him. He was a friend until he went. He just went way off the deep end. And listen, if he ever came back from the deep end, I didn't. I don't even know still alive who. But during the pandemic when we all started our podcast. Yeah, the guy has like multiple born, you know, diseases at birth, so problems with his legs, problem with his arms, born blind, has problems hearing. He's a really sickly kind of person. He's had hundreds of surgeries, but he claimed that colloidal silver was making him the healthiest person in the world. And I'm like, dude, you just had a surgery on Tuesday and then one last Thursday. And you think colloidal silver is solving any of these problems? But we started to notice in some of his Facebook pictures, he was looking blue. And I was. I wrote him a note. I said, dude, I think that colloidal silver. And he said, don't talk about my colloidal silver. It's keeping me healthy. I thought, well, okay, each their own. As you go and you tour around with, tell me about your favorite place to play to do standup comedy. I'm always interested in this question with all the standup comics, what's your favorite.

[Rachel]

Place?

[Aaron Weber]

Place. You know, what I'm learning is. And I'm not there yet, but it's like, if you sell tickets and your fans are.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Coming.

[Aaron Weber]

Exactly. You know, But I. I'm not there yet. So I'm still. My crowds are still largely a function of where I.

[Brian Green]

Am.

[Aaron Weber]

Okay. So there are a few clubs that stand out. I mean, Zany's is great, but if I were to get on the road, it's the comedy works in Denver. Everybody talks about that as one of the best comedy clubs in the.

[Brian Green]

Country. We've heard that a couple.

[Aaron Weber]

Times. Yeah. There's a few others. It's like, man, I'm trying. There are parts of the country that I.

[Brian Green]

Think. Yeah, which. Which parts of the country do you like to.

[Aaron Weber]

Visit? Northwest.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Arkansas.

[Brian Green]

Really?

[Aaron Weber]

Really? Such a hidden gem. Yeah. The.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Ozarks.

[Brian Green]

Yeah.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. A lot of people because of the show. Ozark got onto it. But it's awesome out there. Beautiful scenery. It's the rolling hills. It's where Walmart is headquarters. There's a lot of money out.

[Brian Green]

There.

[Aaron Weber]

Y. It's a surprisingly nice, affluent part of the country, and I love it. There's a comedy club called the Grove. It's in Lowell, Arkansas. It's a town most people have never heard of, but I love it out.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

There.

[Aaron Weber]

Nice. That surprises people when I tell them that. And then Florida and Texas, there's just so many comedy clubs there. So many different places. I'll go wherever. I mean, I was just in Ketchikan.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Alaska. Oh, no.

[Aaron Weber]

Way. Comedy will bring you weird.

[Brian Green]

Places. Yeah, that Gian Marcosaurus.

[Aaron Weber]

Country. Ketchikan. Interestingly, it was the salmon capital of the country, but it was the. It was trying to figure out the best way to say this. It was a brothel town.

[Brian Green]

Oh.

[Aaron Weber]

Ah. It was where all these salmon fishermen would come off the sea and then.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

They.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. Go to the Ladies of the.

[Aaron Weber]

Night. Exactly. And catch a can. So I did a show there at what used to be a brothel and I loved it. And I can't wait to get back to.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Alaska. I bet that was beautiful too. I've seen.

[Aaron Weber]

Obviously. Yeah. Me and my wife did our honeymoon in.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Alaska. Oh, you.

[Brian Green]

Did? Oh, you.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Did.

[Aaron Weber]

Wow. We just want to do something different. I'm not a beach guy. I don't have the body for it.

[Brian Green]

So. Neither do I. But I suffer because I can't stand the cold weather. But where did you guys go in Alaska? That is a different. Honey, that's.

[Aaron Weber]

Fun.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. You don't hear about too many.

[Aaron Weber]

People. Went all over. We took. Started in Anchorage and then we took the Alaska Railroad up. No ways state. But Alaska's so big, it's like we barely scratched the surface of it. So we're hoping at some point to go back and fill in some of those places we.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Missed. That's so cool. I love that you guys did a train ride too. I love. I love trains. And.

[Aaron Weber]

Obsessive. It's the last whistle stop train in.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

America. I think I saw a documentary about.

[Brian Green]

This.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. Yeah. So as you're riding through the wilderness, I mean you don't see anything. Every now and then the train will come to a stop because a.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Homesteader. Yes, somebody's out.

[Aaron Weber]

There. Yes. They come and just flag the train down to ride into the city. So that was more interesting than seeing like moose or bears. To see like Alaskan wilderness people come out of the trees and then flag the train.

[Brian Green]

Down. That.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Is. I know. I saw a documentary about it. Yeah, it looked really.

[Brian Green]

Cool. I had a friend who two years ago he invited. Maybe it was three years ago. Maybe it was like during to while everyone was kind of locked down. He called me and he is a huge car enthusiast and he'll buy and sell cars. He'll drive all over to pick up cars and all sort of stuff. But he's a big jeep enthusiast. That's like, you know, he's got these group of friends that love their jeeps and he lives in the wilderness of Utah. He's a rancher. He's like a true.

[Aaron Weber]

Cowboy.

[Brian Green]

Right. A real life cowboy who also owns a hedge fund. But anyway, he's a real life.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Cowboy.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. So he. He calls me up and he says, I got. We're. Me and my friends are planning this thing. If you want to come, you can hop in the car with me. We are going to go to Whitehorse, Alaska, the very last road. The north. The most North. You can drive on an actual road in the United States of America, or really on the continent of North America. So you go all the way up there, and there's a hotel, but it's not really a hotel. It's more like two trailers put together. And then you get a room if you're lucky. And we're going to spend the night. Night in the Jeeps. As we go along, we're just gonna, you know, do all this other stuff. It took him like, 15 days to drive up there. He sent me pictures. Obviously, I didn't go because I said, I don't have hair on my chest yet, and I'm not quite a man. I would much prefer the guy at the Marriott bring me a cocktail than going out in the wilderness. But he shared with me that, you know, sometimes you get up there and there's. The native people will flag you, or people who live up there will flag you down and ask you for a ride to the next town. Because, of course, you can't just walk to the next town in a lot of cases, places. And it's almost. You'd almost be a dick not to. You'd be like, you know, that's the way. It's the culture that's out there. And that's.

[Aaron Weber]

Fascinating. Gonna leave you in the middle of.

[Brian Green]

Nowhere. Yeah, exactly. It's, you know, 17ft of snow, minus 12. And I'm gonna drive by you when I'm the only car you'll see in the next week. And that's fascinating that you can flag down a train like that. Can you.

[Aaron Weber]

Imagine? It's so different out there. We stayed one night at a little town that had no government. They said that their mayor was a cat at the local pub. No police force, no firefighters, no cops.

[Brian Green]

Nothing.

[Rachel]

Wow.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. And we asked one of the guys that lived there. We were like, well, what happens if somebody lights your car on.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Fire? Yeah. Commits a.

[Aaron Weber]

Crime. And he goes, we would handle.

[Brian Green]

It. We deal with.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

It.

[Aaron Weber]

Okay. And I was like, all right. But that's the appeal to these. These. A lot of these peoples, they flee from wherever they live and they move up there and they go, I just want to handle things on my.

[Brian Green]

Own. That's.

[Aaron Weber]

It. Yeah, I get the appeal of that. That being said, I do like having a fire department. I like having a police force, hospital, grocery.

[Brian Green]

Store.

[Aaron Weber]

Yes.

[Brian Green]

Yeah. I do like room service every once in a while. It's a weakness of mine, you know, I tend. I can be a little.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Pampered. This feels.

[Brian Green]

Fun. It does feel fun. All Right. So I want to ask you a question about your brand of comedy. I just recently got into Nate with his latest special. I mean, I've known of Nate and, you know, followed him on Instagram and watched all, you know, watched some of the clips that come through and stuff like that. But I was really convinced when I watched that most recent special. It was so funny and so well done. And my wife has been in love with Nate for a while. It's a clean comedy. It's a clean brand. You could sit. I mean, I don't know, the children would understand everything, but I wouldn't be afraid to have them in the room while they do that. And there are lots of comics that we have on the show where I would never let my children listen to the. You tend. I think from what I've seen, you tend to have that kind of clean brand of comedy. Is that. Is there a reason why do you make that? Is that a conscious choice that you're making or is it just, I prefer not to work blue? What's.

[Aaron Weber]

The. Yeah, I don't know. It wasn't like I sat down and was like, all right, I need to be a clean comedian. Sure. It's just kind of of a function of how I was raised and the style of comedy that I.

[Brian Green]

Like.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. So I. I truly don't think about it for myself much anymore. I had a buddy tell me once, he's like, I can never do clean comedy because I. I got into comedy to say what I want to say. And I was like, all right. But I am saying everything I want to.

[Brian Green]

Say. Yeah.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. It's not like I have a desire to talk about different stuff. It's just. It's just kind of how I am him and. And Nate. I think Nate is. Is kind of the same way. And. And you nailed it with what you just said. Where the way I describe Nate Land and. And kind of the world of comedy that we're creating is. It's not for kids, but I think people want stuff that you can just have on and not worry about kids.

[Brian Green]

Overhearing. Yeah, yeah.

[Aaron Weber]

Sure. And I think even in Nate's last special, something really interesting that you don't see very often in a mainstream Netflix special is. Is in the front row of that. That show, there's somebody in, like, their 70s and then there's like an 11 year.

[Brian Green]

Old. That's right. You're right. Yeah. It's.

[Aaron Weber]

So. That's kind of cool. And that's unique. And I don't. I don't Think a lot of people are doing that now. A lot of my friends, even guys that I have open for me, when they're on their own, they're letting loose, dude. They're talking about crazy stuff. But when they're with me, they kind of reel it in. And even some of my favorite comedians are. Are wild on stage. But it's just. It's just kind of how I am, kind of how I was brought up, and just the comedy that I like.

[Brian Green]

Doing. Yeah, we. We've had this conversation with a couple of comics before. I don't like. There's no conversation in my head about which flavor of comedy I like. Whatever I find funny. Like, I find, you know, your special was funny. Nate's special was extraordinarily well done. It was really funny. But then I also. I also find some of them, like Kelsey Cook. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know Kelsey Cook. Yeah, yeah. She. You know, she can turn it on a dime. She seems very innocent, but then she turns it on a dime. And then there are people that are even more extreme than that. You know, it's I. George Carlin. Right. One of my favorites, but he was more of a commentarian, and I think the words that he used were often picked specifically because they would open up your ears, like another word words. I think he was using the language as a tool. I think there are some comedians, maybe even like us sometimes, like, dick jokes are the lowest form of comedy, but they do get a laugh. And sometimes that's what you throw in. Right. That's the way that it goes. But I don't purposely. It's. It's like a musician picks up a guitar and they lean toward playing the blues or playing jazz or whatever it is. It's just whatever feels good to you. And I think it could be done to great effect. Either way. I don't. I don't think there's. 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.

[Aaron Weber]

Well. And the biggest compliment that I get is that people don't even notice.

[Brian Green]

It. Yeah, yeah. It's.

[Aaron Weber]

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.

[Rachel]

Jokes.

[Aaron Weber]

Right. Like lame puns, like, Laffy Taffy.

[Brian Green]

Joke. Yeah.

[Aaron Weber]

Like. And there are guys doing.

[Brian Green]

That. There are.

[Aaron Weber]

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.

[Rachel]

Clean.

[Aaron Weber]

Clean. And I go, well, that's.

[Brian Green]

Great. That is.

[Aaron Weber]

Good. 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, and they won't even notice.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

It. It's.

[Aaron Weber]

True. No, I'm clean. They'll just enjoy the show and, and we'll, we'll do.

[Brian Green]

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.

[Aaron Weber]

Ventriloquist.

[Brian Green]

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 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.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Funny. It is. Everybody should go listen to.

[Brian Green]

It. Thank.

[Aaron Weber]

You. Yeah. And I'm hoping it's, it's way better for people to go, that felt short than they go, that was a little.

[Brian Green]

Long. Totally agree. Yes, Totally agree. Because also now I'm thinking about, like, I'm coming. 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 punch up. 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.

[Aaron Weber]

Before? I.

[Brian Green]

Don'T. I don't. You don't? Nope. 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 be. To follow somebody. Right. One reel. Okay. I might Hard 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, 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 busy. I gotta watch, you know, exactly. 90 Day.

[Aaron Weber]

Fiance. And I'm very aware of, like, if most people had came in blind, even fans of the podcast were like, I'd never seen Aaron stand up. They're coming into it with, I don't want to be committing to a whole day of this. Yeah, you get to a certain point, Nate, Dusty and guys like that, where people will go, oh, okay, I'm sitting down. I'm gonna make a night out of.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

It.

[Aaron Weber]

Yes. Right. So. 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.

[Brian Green]

Possible. Do you feel like the momentum is in your favor? Are you feeling the momentum.

[Aaron Weber]

Building? I hope so, yeah. Yeah, it's been, it's been a good year so far, so I'm hoping that that continues. But I think a lot of it, I'm going to be able to tell when I come back to some cities. Yeah, I haven't been to in a while since the special comes out, so I'll be able to have, like, hard data and see. But, yeah, I would say it feels. It feels like things are going in the right direction. Comedy, such a long game, dude. And I knew that going into it, I was like, you know, 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. I'm still working at it, so. So, you know, I've always went into it with the perspective of this might take 15, 20 years before, before things get moving. So, you know, if you enjoy the process and just keep doing it, which, which, which I have been, it's. It's all.

[Brian Green]

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. You're in an incubator of great comedy. And so. And you're also a part of that incubator of great comedy. So it' 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 to ever. The youngest comedian ever. The Grand Ole Opry. Is that.

[Aaron Weber]

Right? Right? Yeah. Yeah. Now, I haven't done a ton of research to confirm that, but that sounds. Nobody's corrected.

[Brian Green]

Me. 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 Worlds record. Longest comedy show ever. Longest live comedy show ever. Was that you?

[Aaron Weber]

You? Yeah, I was part of the. The second iteration of.

[Brian Green]

That. What. So tell me what this is. Yeah, they.

[Aaron Weber]

Did. Trying to.

[Brian Green]

Remember. God, it feels like a lifetime.

[Aaron Weber]

Ago. This was preco, but oh, yeah.

[Brian Green]

That'S a whole different.

[Aaron Weber]

World. It was spearheaded by a guy named Chad Ryden and he. He wanted to break the record for the longest continuous standup comedy show, which at the time was set by the laugh Factory in LA Day. And I think it was like five days and they wanted to double it. God, 10 straight.

[Brian Green]

Days. 10 days. 24.

[Aaron Weber]

Hours. 24 hours. I mean, I did.

[Brian Green]

Sets.

[Aaron Weber]

Wow. 3:30 in the.

[Brian Green]

Morning. Geez, you could.

[Aaron Weber]

Am. I would leave. I still had a full time job at that point, so I would leave, work for my lunch break and go do a set and then come.

[Brian Green]

Back. Oh my.

[Aaron Weber]

God. So that was a really cool. Yeah, Unique, unique thing for.

[Brian Green]

Sure. To be in the Guinness Book of World Records is a very, very cool thing. I don't know. Were you, when you were a kid, did you ever get the Guinness Book of World's Records and read through? Yeah, it was one of my.

[Aaron Weber]

Favorite. Longest.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Fingernails. Oh, yeah. Tallest.

[Brian Green]

Man. Longest hair. Yeah. Dirtiest human. Shortest.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Tallest. It was a thick book, now that I think about.

[Brian Green]

It. It was a thick book. Yeah. These are the things I think about with my children. Like, my children will likely never watch a commercial if they don't want.

[Aaron Weber]

To.

[Brian Green]

Right. That's just a life that they're going to live in. As a kid, I couldn't fast forward through commercials, so we watched them. That we were indoctrinated by McDonald's and toy companies and Mattel and cereal boxes and all that other stuff. But the other thing I. I think about is that my children, even though they love books now, they will never have the joy of Encyclopedia Britannica. Holding one of those and flipping through it and, you know, I don't know, know, coming upon a.

[Aaron Weber]

Naked. You can't browse for.

[Brian Green]

Anything. No.

[Aaron Weber]

Yeah. You have to, like, look for something.

[Brian Green]

Specific. Yeah, that's.

[Aaron Weber]

It. It's so funny you mentioned that. My. My wife's cousin, I was just talking to him and he told me that his kid was watching a TV show on his tablet or something, and a commercial came on and he thought it was broken. He was like, well, something's wrong. It's not exactly what I wanted it. Yeah. I was like, man, it's just so different.

[Brian Green]

From. From how. It's. It's insane. And you don't know this yet, but wait until your young lady gets maybe, like. Maybe like another year. And the first time that they pick up a phone or a tablet and with intention. All of my children, it's as if it's in our DNA now. They understood intuitively how to move around the phone. They were scrolling. They were mo. Blew me away. I was like, that is insane. How did you learn.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

That? Oh, I.

[Brian Green]

Know. It's probably from watching us, right? But the fact that they picked it up and understood it so intuitively, the very first time we watched this with all of our children, and it. It was scary almost.

[Aaron Weber]

It's. Well, have you seen. I. I saw a video about this where all of our. Or at least everybody. I've. I've shown this to our right. Pinky is a little bent now.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Because of holding the.

[Aaron Weber]

Phone. Yeah, it's like, no shit. Let's.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

See.

[Aaron Weber]

Yep. A little indentation in.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Your. Yeah, I can totally see.

[Aaron Weber]

That. So you're.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Like. Yeah, that's not on my.

[Aaron Weber]

Left. Yeah, Yeah. I mean, our bodies are.

[Brian Green]

Adapting. Yeah. I'm getting that Herdinger's hump or whatever it is from looking down. Yeah, tech neck. That's right. Tech neck. Yeah. My wife and I. Well, I won't get into all the details, but we were doing something and she was like, what is that on your back? And she, because of that little bump, is pointing out a little bit because I'm always like this. I got to get away from this microphone. When are we done with this show? How many more thousands of episodes are we contractually obligated to do? A lot. Okay. All right. Well, I will consider this one of the better ones because, Aaron, you are wonderful. Aaron's brand new special is out Now I'm going to put a link in the show notes on YouTube. I'm going to put a link in the show notes. Aaron, of course, is always.

I'll put all the links in the show notes and that way, if anybody's close to where Aaron is going to be doing instead of comedy, I would highly suggest you go see it. He's really great. It was a very funny 30 minutes. Instagram is wonderful. I'll put a link to that also. And of course, you can always catch him on Nate Link, one of the more popular comedy podcasts out there. And we're not. So go check them out and listen to better comedy over there. Yeah, only aspire to. We can only aspire to Nate. Well, I mean, I can understand why. Funny, not funny.

[Brian Green]

Break. Well, there you have it, Mr. Aaron Weber from the innate Borgotti clan. If you don't mind, if that's what we're gonna call them. He is a super nice guy. Oh, my God, I love documentary Notre Dame. There you go. I don't know if I've ever met anyone that graduated from Notre Dame that went to Notre Dame. Have.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

You? No, I.

[Brian Green]

Don'T. No, I don't think so. I think that's my first because I don't run in those kind of circles. Circles I run. And it's like I went to DeVry, I graduated from DeVry. And if you think I'm kidding, I'm not. I know people who have graduated from Devar and they've gone on to be very successful, by the.

[Aaron Weber]

Way.

[Brian Green]

Way. But not like, you know, Notre Dame level is.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Successful. Yeah. I loved his story about the. The podium. How's he podium do his.

[Brian Green]

Comedy? Yes. That is one of the funniest things that I have heard in a long time. I just imagine him. I'm sorry, I'm playing with something over here. Don't, don't mind Brian. He's okay. There you go. Yeah. I got this whole new setup and I'm trying to figure it out. But Aaron was a very nice guy and he's on Naand, the podcast, which we are constantly seems like us and Nateland just fighting back and forth for positions on charts. I'm sure they have so many more listeners that we do. They're actually funny. I saw an episode where it was Brian, Nate, Dusty Slay, and Aaron, all four of them sitting in a room together. And just like the 10 minutes that I caught was so fucking funny. Yeah. And I thought to myself, to be funny, to have a.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Podcast. That's what it looks.

[Brian Green]

Like. That's what it looks like. His brand new special now available on YouTube. Specialty dish link in the show.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Notes. Nice and digestible. 30.

[Brian Green]

Minutes. 30 minutes. Easy breezy. We talked about it a couple times during the interview and it really is true. He. I think that was a right choice. The more that I think about that, that was a. A choice that was made by Nate, the production team and Aaron. The more I think that was a smart move because you just, just you can eat up 30 minutes, no problem. That's a car ride. That's work. That's a drive to work. I don't suggest you watch YouTube while you're driving to work. But you know I've seen.

[Kristin Joy Hoadley]

Stupider. You can listen to it through the.
