Well, now Aaron has something else going on: a live version of his podcast, complete with music, comedy and interview, at Naked City. Given this big change for the guy, we wanted to ask him One Super Important Quesstion, about, well, how freaking nervous he is for this new undertaking.Â

The answer isn't poetry, but rather language
