How often do you have serious bouts of laughter when you listen to a podcast? Get ready for a laughter riot as we welcome the incredibly talented comedian Aaron Brooks in our latest episode of Discombobulated. As we journey through the world of stand-up comedy, we tackle the highs and lows that come with the gig. We discuss the art of crafting a joke, sometimes plucked right out of thin air, and how supportive mentors and peers have played a pivotal role in shaping us as comics. We also reminisce about classic movies, VHS tapes, and the nostalgia that comes with it. But there's more, we dive into our awkward childhood memories, including the transition from black and white to color films. We also chat about our experiences with the Texas Grocer, HEB, and the fascinating and sometimes bizarre world of off-the-grid comedy shows. Finally, we discuss the importance of being authentic, not just in comedy but in life, and how music has been instrumental in helping us relax and stay grounded. So, tune in and join us for a laughter-filled journey with Aaron Brooks!
