So the week of the Minnesota episode, we had a marathon race in Minnesota. Our flight back to Louisiana got delayed until Sunday, so we decided to book tickets to go see Nate. Then, as we are walking up to the theater, he was getting out of the car! We got to say hello, get a fist bump, and of course share a little “hey bear”. Nate was so nice! Thanks for taking time to say hello right before a show!!
First time listener, long time caller. I grew up in Rochester, MN where the Mayo Clinic was started by a doctor who came to help with injured people after a tornado destroy most of the town, Nun’s helped as nurses, thus the “St. Mary’s” wing at the Mayo Clinic. The doctor who was doctor Mayo, had 2 sons who also became doctors and helped turn the Mayo Clinic into what it is today, leading in new surgeries and techniques to treat people. MayoWood Mansion (where the brothers lived) was visited often as a school field trip. I also learned more about my home state this episode than I knew prior to. Comedic and educational! Lol
Ever since you started doing states I have been waiting for the day you do Minnesota. You can imagine how happy I was this morning to see you show some love to my state. That is, until about halfway through you talking about the land of 11,842 lakes (more than Wisconsin) McDonalds was brought up and I knew the next 20-30 minutes would not be about anything except food. That and name recommendation for Dusty’s kid: Luther PS thank you for not hitting us too hard on sports, it’s not fun here for that.
Nate “Yeah that’s why coffee is great. Because we can’t just sit around and talk”. He then immediately goes back to sitting around and talking to 3 other dudes. So funny. Keep it rolling fellas
When they talked about the NHL team, i thought Brain* was gonna mention how they were called the North Stars, but moved to Dallas and became just the Stars, and then when a new expansion team started up that's when they became the Wild. And in the logo there's still sort of a reference with a "North" Star in the design.
Nothing better than the decorated skeptic, Dusty Slay saying "I believe it" before Baba Booey even finishes saying "Paul Bunyan and his Ox created lakes with their footprints.
Trying to watch earlier episodes so i can say that i have watched them all. I must say it isn't easy because I'm used to seeing Dusty there too. Can you guys just go back and do them again but this time with Dusty? Love the podcast thanks for all the laughs.
Dusty- don't worry about the name. My 2nd daughter was a Sophie for the first day. But after the second day in the hospital we decided to go with Ellie. I don't think you can properly name them until you are with them for a while. Congrats!
Hello Folks and Hey Bear 🐻 Best episode yet! Congrats to Dusty and his Family! Best wishes and blessings to Mom and Baby. As long as you are considering Richard as middle name, what about Ricky Bobby ? I couldn't possibly be the only one to suggest it
I can’t believe Dusty is surprised that his sister, who’s also a Slay, doesn’t want to film her day to day activities. It makes me wonder if Dusty is the least conspiratorial of the Slay family.
Aaron, I would listen to Car Talk with my dad when he would take me to work with him on some Saturdays growing up. Very fond memories of Click and Clack gettin into it.
Hey Bear! As a Real Estate Agent who helps folks relocate to Minnesota, who also has tickets to see Nate at the Ordway tonight, this episode and hearing your takes on our state is the best possible warm-up. Appreciate you fellas!!
When I listen to podcasts while driving, mowing, or doing dishes, I listen at 1.5 speed with the silence trimmed. That cuts the time in half. However, if I'm grading essays or need to be actively thinking, I have to put it on regular speed. Great episode on Minnesota. The only thing it was lacking was more talk of the Timberwolves (the subject of many of my other podcasts) I'll go proofread this now.
Being a regular customer to the sideshows as a kid, I can relate to getting scammed by certain shows. One was Sandra the Albino Lady who multitasked as a Lady Sword Swallower. I used to come home and imitate the MC to my family. Looking back, those shows were really awful.
Absolutely wild to hear Dusty mention my high school english teacher and stand up comedian, Dusti Rhodes on the podcast. Same name as the wrestler. She's a Houston comedian who teaches high school English. Best teacher I've ever had. Maybe she can help teach Nate to read if she ever opens for him in Houston.
Love the podcast! Here’s a topic idea - since you say “Hey Bear”, how about a show on bears. They are in the news a lot from swimming at Nags Head 1:16:02 to the Cocaine Bear. I’m sure Bottle Brush & his sidekick Webbed Toes would enjoy doing the research!
So when I was 10 or 11 my family went to visit some relatives in the twin cities for thanksgiving. On Black Friday we got the brilliant idea to go to the mall of America. The place was packed. I don’t remember what caught my attention but I broke off from the pack to look at something. The next thing I know, my family is long gone. I looked for them for what felt like hours. Finally they found me…but I never did get to ride that Snoopy rollercoaster… I had some experience getting left behind. When I was about 6 years old my parents left me at the St. Louis Zoo. They were in separate cars and they both made it home (about a 20 min drive) before they realized I wasn’t with them. A park ranger found me and let me call to have someone pick me up. I think they were just trying to get rid of me, but to no avail - I’m still standing! …middle child problems. Love the show fellas!!
I vote for Duke Slay (for obvious reasons). Love the podcast, gentlemen. I've listened to every episode, and it always brightens my day. Keep up the good work.
Hearing Dusty talking about the naming of his child, (Congrats Dusty), reminded me of the story of when i was named. It was 1971 Utah, and at that time, when a baby was born, it was up to the parents to get get the Birth Certificate filled out and sent in to the County Recorder. And it was traditional to wait until the baby had been blessed in church for that name to be recorded. My name had been decided by my Mother, I was the 9th of 9 children, so I guess it was her turn or something. Anyway, she wanted to give me a strong family name from her side of the family. Those poor men would likely need thier strength with as often as they would take a beating with names like the verbal atrocity that had been carefully chosen for me. "Guy Marvin Barker". My Father, possibly because he wanted me to survive childhood, hated this name with a white hot passion. He was also a very reserved man and had said nothing to my Mother about it. It was traditional, in the faith where I was raised, for a newborn to be blessed within a few weeks of it's birth, during weekly church services in front of the whole congregation by his father. At this time the child would be given its name and a general blessing of well-being and good health, etc.. The verbage used in the blessing is structured by Doctrine and leaves very little wiggle room. It basically says, "Lord, here's a baby. We decided to call it this, and please help him or her to not murder people. Amen." Things were going just swimmingly until my Father got to the part where he says, "The name by which he will be known throughout his life, and in the records of the Church is." "Marshall Preston Barker" At that point, of course, time stopped, all the air was sucked from the building, cows stopped producing milk for miles around in all directions, and, my Mother burned a tiny hole straight through the back of my Father's suit coat and shirt, with her heat vision. As I understand it, my Dad continued on and finished my blessing, the contents of which are unknown since sound cannot exist in a vacuum. My father is gone now but he will forever be my hero. For so many, many reasons, but also for changing my name at the last minute so that I didn't have to grow up to be a game show host or Carnival worker. Thanks to all you guys. Nate you've been at the top of my list of favorite comedians for many years. Aaron, things will get better. Dusty, I (begrudgingly love ya). However, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for "Baby Bucking Bronco Brian Bates!" Brian, you are awesome, and I swear it's not just my senility that's causing me to say that. (this is a little bit off topic but in Utah for many many years you didn't actually have to choose a name at any given point there was not a law that required you to choose a name within a certain time period. That's how the Olympic skier, named "Peekaboo Street", got her name. Her parents decided to wait and let her choose her own name. Freaking hippies!)
Wanted to congratulate Aaron on his Comedy Central Stand up Feature. I went and saw Aaron two years ago when he came to Auburn, and he was great. Not to imply I know all that much about standup but I can tell he’s made huge strides between then and this feature. I really enjoyed it. Not only that but a few of my buddies were sending around a TikTok of Aaron’s ymca football bit, who before that clip didn’t know Aaron or this podcast. So Aaron congratulations, and keep on trucking.
As a kid growing up in Willmar Minnesota, this episode made my day. Thank you for this. Also Nate should know we have so many great golf courses up here, and bring his sticks.
Your First Pitch rant made me think of the movie Jerry Maguire, when Cuba Goodings character is trying to get his big break and in what is portrayed as some sort of triumphant moment he gets clobbered trying to make a catch. The stadium is hushed until he stands up, showing he's unhurt, and raises his arms as the entire stadium cheers for him. I never understood why he was so happy about getting cheers for not being injured. To bring it back to the rant, maybe that tik tok-er gets so happy to just get the cheers, even if it wasn't for something that great? Love the podcast!
My son bought a house in Mansfield MO...It used to be a rooming house and a storefront. We found out that it was a place where Laura Ingalls Wilder used to hang out. She also wrote some of her books there. There were lots of photos of her, her dog and her husband along with many documents. Down the street was the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum, which gets 30,000 visitors per year. We made the house into an Airbnb and had several Museum visitors stay there. We learned a lot about LIW! We did eventually sell the house.
Several years ago I was bored and searching comedians on TH-cam…I came across Nate and he, and then his podcast, became my all time favorites. Y’all are a great combo when watching the podcast, and are right about influencers. I’m a fan of @wherethekidsroam and he says it can be exhausting coming up with content, especially because he’s the funniest person I know (sorry Nate) and his followers expect to laugh. Like the Nateland podcast, he’s an acquired taste…you either love his posts or hate ‘em! Keep up the good work, guys. I look forward to watching you every single week since the podcast started!
Dusty, I think the name Bo or Beau would be a strong sounding name for your son. "Bo Slay". Congratulations to you and your family on the soon to be new addition. Children are the greatest blessing.
Dusty, I felt your name situation to my core. Parents named me Dustin, called me Dusty from the first second. Would be very nice to not have to put Dustin on all my official stuff!
This podcast discussed at length Dusty naming his child Hank and even his Dad’s love of the Braves, and never connected the two to the legendary Hank Aaron. I thought the resident sports expert Breakfast would have made the connection but no luck!
I like how the guys kind of laughed at the idea of a lakes mascot, completely forgetting that the Lakers originally played in Minneapolis. No big deal, just one of the most famous franchises in all of sports. Keep it up boys!
I’m loving watching you guys make the connections between the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and the name of our baseball team (both on the podcast and at Nate’s show in St. Paul on Sunday). 😂 But, wanted you to know that you’re not alone. My husband and I have lived in Minneapolis for over two decades, and when we weren’t both here, one of us lived in St. Paul. Our (relatively bright) kids were born and raised in Minneapolis. We recently made plans to adopt two kittens (litter mates) that the shelter had named Minnie and Paul. We had multiple conversations over several days about what to name them once they were ours. The plan was to keep the name Paul because that’s a hilarious name for a cat (especially a tiny kitten). But, we wanted to change Minnie’s name. While I was talking to my parents about our plans, my dad said, “I suppose they’re named for St. Paul and Minneapolis.” 😐😲 It took my dad two minutes to figure that out after the four of us had several days. Needless to say, we kept both names. Fun fact: the players in the Minnesota Twins logo are also named Minnie and Paul. www.mlb.com/news/minnesota-twins-minnie-and-paul-logo-history
Little House on the Prairie was a series of books based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s real life not just a TV show from the 70’s 😜 I thought Aaron would have mentioned that at least!
I drove around town wondering why there were flags out everywhere until I remembered it was Flag Day, which I knew about thanks to the Nateland podcast. Who says this isn’t educational?
Over 10 minutes of listening to the BAND talk about the future name of Dusty’s son. I was crying laughing so hard that my co-workers thought I was upset and kept asking if I was okay.😅😅😅
Hello Folks! My parents named me Stephen Charles Harold McMillan, but the person writing it down Spelled Harold “Harlod”. When my mom noticed it and wanted it changed they said they had to charge her. Long story short we kept it Harlod for 20 plus years and both my sisters took great Joy in calling me that growing up. Love the Pod guys!
Hey Dusty, speaking of many legged cows…we had a 5 legged cow in college. Some of us borrowed it and put it on a dorm elevator. Stubborn. Took a dump, cops came & we ran.
Another fun fact. The LA Lakers originally started in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A “laker” is another common name for a lake trout. So the full name for the LA lakers could be the Los Angeles Lake Trouts
I sometimes listen to the podcast on .75x speed. Everyone sounds super relaxed and maybe a little buzzed. I know the podcast is 2 hours long already, but I listen while I work so I wanted to listen to "hang out with the gang" as long as possible while at the office.
Hey Bryan, sorry I've missed the past couple of weeks. Hope all has been good with you. We have caught another mouse and are finding brown recluse in our bug traps. Also went fishing twice recently and caught nothing so that's how things been goin here. Jus wanted to say bc its been brought up twice, polarized sunglasses help block the reflection of the sun also yellow lenses are good for this as well. And dusty saying the bones float to the bottom and it jus being passed over was a real nateland moment
My granddad was born in 1929. When he went to a fair as a kid he was so excited to see the advertised "giant man eating chicken"... it was in fact a large man eating chicken. Naturally he told his friends to trick them too
Bangor, Maine has a competing claim as birthplace of Paul Bunyan. His birth certificate is displayed at city hall and dated February 12, 1834. There is a 31 ft statue of him in the city as well. 💪
Nate's probably not wrong about remembering watching Wings on USA. I worked 3rd shift PT at UPS in the 90s, and would get home around 4-4:30am - and I remember USA would air reruns of sitcoms in the wee hours and very early mornings. I remember seeing shows like Wings,, and Working w/ Fred Savage, also had the comic Dana Gould and the guy who played Bania on Seinfeld. Also, Fired Up w/ Leah Remini, and Veronica's Closet, News Radio, and I think Suddenly Susan, and some others I can't recall atm.
Aaron’s mom isn’t the only one with fridge notes. A coworker had written DO NOT EAT on some meat for a potluck to stop her teen boys from wiping it out. But she left the note on in the work fridge. So no one grabbed it out for the sandwich potluck. She laughed hysterically when we thought the note was for us.
Hey Bear! Episode 100 y’all talked about the Doomsday Clock. The “time” was 100 seconds to midnight at the time of recording. It is now 90 seconds to midnight. The end is near but we’re having a good time. Keep bringing the HA’s!
In their press release they use the term "hot war" which Nate was asking after last episode. Fun fact, the council that oversees the clock was started by Albert Einstein .....so things aren't great.... But I'm here for the diversion!
My wife and I have a 6 month old son (who was at Nate’s Memphis show in utero) we named Henry Wayne and I call him Hanky Waynkey🤗 So I definitely vote for Hank for Dusty’s kid.
Got to see the 5 PM Sunday show as a Father's Day gift and it was amazing! Now watching this episode afterward and remembering the Mcdonald's bit, it feels like finding patient zero at the start of a virus. Also, speaking of a virus, Minnesota is also the home of SPAM (Hormel).
I just recently started listening to the podcast, so I’m catching up on previous episodes. Listening to the “Bible & Recycling” episode reminded me of a story on ABC Nightly News about the plastic bag recycling bins at big box stores. They dropped in 46 trackers at different stores across 10 states and only 4 actually made it to sites affiliated with plastic bag recycling! Thought it was pretty interesting
Bob Dylan, Hibbing MN. Forgot other politician - Al Franken. Don’t forget Louis Anderson. (OK, did at end) Huge spontaneous gathering in Minneapolis when we learned Prince died. We had to be together to crank music, gather at 1st Avenue. All of the buildings and bridges were lit up purple. Come do a show at Mystic Lake Casino. Great shows there and it’s in a suburb. I remember it being a big deal when the Shaw of Iran was in Mayo Clinic. Fargo & Grumpy Old Men shot in MN.
My daughter and I definitely have the cookie dough bit battle - we then stumbled on the Ben and Jerry cookie dough bits. Yes they sell just the bits in a separate bag and they are glorious. Healing family ice cream battles one pint at a time.
My husband is completely on board with Nate and Dusty about not sharing food! The funny thing is, for years after we got married, I would eat a few of his french fries when we'd get fast food. (I also had my own, just a smaller order and wanted a couple extra) I never tried to hide this and assumed he was aware and did not mind, until one day when he pointed it out. I guess I was unintentionally sneakier than I thought because it turns out he had NOT noticed before and was shocked to learn that it had been happening for years. We laughed about it but, needless to say, I can no longer help myself to his fries. Now he makes sure to tell me that he is not going to share his food so if I want something I need to get my own
Years ago when I was teaching 6th grade I had a student named Randy Canyon. He came in day 2 and I said RANDY CANYON! That sounds like a great Nascar name. He lit up like a Christmas tree and on Back to School night his mother told me how happy I'd made him. I love the name convos and vote Henry Richard Slay, Hank for short. Henry is a name of kings. Thanks for all the fun.
Blue Earth Minnesota is home to the Jolly Green Giant ❤️ I had to pull off the interstate and check it out cuz as a kid I thought he was real…and there he was towering over the trees. I initially thought the 70’s had finally caught up to me 😂 You guys are hysterical, and although I am not your typical demographic.. I laugh like Aaron does when Dusty is reading ads.. the show is awesome and I appreciate you all!
@33:52 Hank Slay, "My dad always says '......something about freedom and getting yourself locked into a car payment, you know....' Yep, dad always had a way with words.. I'm glad we got back to the farming way of life."
Hello guys, I’m very partial to the name Hank. My two year old son is named Hank. I would think it’s super cool if Dusty and his wife chose that. However, I can’t help but feel that Dusty should consider, “Rusty”. First of all, it rhymes with Dusty. Furthermore, They can also boldly make it exclusively “Rusty Richard Slay”. Not , Russell, even though that’s not a bad name either. Rusty is perfect. And finally, it’s “country” like Dusty. Love all you guys
I am a marketing manager for a regional propane company in southern Ohio, northern Kentucky, and northern West Virginia. I have been in the Propane industry for almost 20 years which means that I literally sell propane and propane accessories so if you want my opinion, I think you should go with Hank.
Mall of America is not the largest mall in the western hemisphere. West Edmonton Mall is bigger. According to an article from Dec, 2021, "West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta is North America’s largest enclosed mall with over 800 stores and attractions in 3,800,000 square feet. Mall of America is the largest enclosed mall in the United States with 560 stores and attractions in 2,800,000 square feet."
@@brianbatescomedy I'm a Gen Xer.. I don't know how to alter Wikipedia. LOL. I see that it says it's 11th largest in the world, and I just read that West Ed is #6 in the world. In the article I found, It states that West Ed has remained the largest because every time they hear that Mall of America is adding on, they purposely add on more to make sure they still exceed it. Perhaps they are using some other metric to call it the largest, like including nearby outdoor related facilities or something. Just for the record, I hate West Ed with a fiery passion. All it is to me is where I change buses on my way to work. I've lived here for 23 years and I've only been there, maybe, five or six times... including when I'd only go from the entrance to the movie theatre.
When my wife and I had our daughters we spent quite a while figuring out their names. We did blind lists and then compared them to see which names we had in common. I also kept going back looking for middle names where the initials spelled something. Less to say she did not have the same enthusiasm as I did trying to spell some thing with the initials. Neither of our daughters names spell anything.
Where do we send a question to be answered on the podcast? Question: When you tour in Australia and New Zealand, do you have to change any of your material for them to make it more relatable? For example: Do they have Walmart there? Or other American stores/restaurants? Thanks, Robin (Gibsonton FL)
Betsy Ross was the woman who sewed the first American flag. I only know this because I learned it on last weeks episode. 😂 I love how no one remembered or corrected nate
My wife and I were having dinner near the Ordway before the 9:30 pm show on Friday. A young couple sat down at the table next to us and the wife whispered something to her husband. He immediately starting screaming repeatedly "Babe, are you serious?" He then started to tear up and I assumed he had just found out that his wife was pregnant. A few moments later he said "I can't believe you got us tickets to see Bargatze!" (Mark Ingram)
I don’t know who’s face got redder Aaron’s from laughing or Dusty’s from all the emotions he was feeling while they was talking about picking his sons name I like hank myself but I’m from the south so I’m probably biased my favorite episode so far. Hey Bear
So the week of the Minnesota episode, we had a marathon race in Minnesota. Our flight back to Louisiana got delayed until Sunday, so we decided to book tickets to go see Nate. Then, as we are walking up to the theater, he was getting out of the car! We got to say hello, get a fist bump, and of course share a little “hey bear”. Nate was so nice! Thanks for taking time to say hello right before a show!!
Did you yell at him for not knowing grumpy old men was from Minnesota? How about Minnesota lakers????? North stars?????
I've never felt more connected to the guys than with Aaron's reaction to Dusty's wife throwing out the cake.
😂Three times he said “threw it out?”…had me cracking up!
First time listener, long time caller.
I grew up in Rochester, MN where the Mayo Clinic was started by a doctor who came to help with injured people after a tornado destroy most of the town, Nun’s helped as nurses, thus the “St. Mary’s” wing at the Mayo Clinic.

Ever since you started doing states I have been waiting for the day you do Minnesota. You can imagine how happy I was this morning to see you show some love to my state. That is, until about halfway through you talking about the land of 11,842 lakes (more than Wisconsin) McDonalds was brought up and I knew the next 20-30 minutes would not be about anything except food. That and name recommendation for Dusty’s kid: Luther
PS thank you for not hitting us too hard on sports, it’s not fun here for that.
Nate “Yeah that’s why coffee is great. Because we can’t just sit around and talk”. He then immediately goes back to sitting around and talking to 3 other dudes. So funny. Keep it rolling fellas
😊
Coach was my favorite show as a 12 year old! 🤣 I still love it - Craig T. Nelson and Jerry Van Dyke are the BEST.
Dusty “too many lakes… reflections” as an explanation for all the blindness in MN 🤣
If Dusty had a hat that only said "we're having a good time" .... I would buy that
My favorite is when I say “My name is Dusty” and people say “Justin?” 😂😂
“They should be the Minnesota Lakes”
Their basketball team was called the Lakers, then the team moved to Los Angeles.
When they talked about the NHL team, i thought Brain* was gonna mention how they were called the North Stars, but moved to Dallas and became just the Stars, and then when a new expansion team started up that's when they became the Wild. And in the logo there's still sort of a reference with a "North" Star in the design.
Nothing better than the decorated skeptic, Dusty Slay saying "I believe it" before Baba Booey even finishes saying "Paul Bunyan and his Ox created lakes with their footprints.
Nate, the Lakes were essentially Minnesota's basketball team name. They were the Minneapolis Lakers before they moved to LA.
Loved Breakfast's origin of Minnesota joke and you can visibly see (based on education) each of the guys "get the joke." Keep it up y'all!
AARON CAN NOT HELP HIMSELF! It's like he tries so hard not to lip read along with Dusty's ad reads, but fails in the end. It's adorable.
Trying to watch earlier episodes so i can say that i have watched them all. I must say it isn't easy because I'm used to seeing Dusty there too. Can you guys just go back and do them again but this time with Dusty? Love the podcast thanks for all the laughs.
Dusty- don't worry about the name. My 2nd daughter was a Sophie for the first day. But after the second day in the hospital we decided to go with Ellie. I don't think you can properly name them until you are with them for a while. Congrats!
Dusty’s new kid should be named, ‘Raymond Jedadiah Slay’ or Ray-J-Slay for short 😂❤
You’re a goddamn genious
Haven’t heard a name this good since Ralphie May named his kids April & August!
Yep sure dusty would love to name his son after a porn star
Hello Folks and Hey Bear 🐻 Best episode yet! Congrats to Dusty and his Family! Best wishes and blessings to Mom and Baby. As long as you are considering Richard as middle name, what about Ricky Bobby ? I couldn't possibly be the only one to suggest it
I can’t believe Dusty is surprised that his sister, who’s also a Slay, doesn’t want to film her day to day activities. It makes me wonder if Dusty is the least conspiratorial of the Slay family.
Aaron, I would listen to Car Talk with my dad when he would take me to work with him on some Saturdays growing up. Very fond memories of Click and Clack gettin into it.
Loved Car Talk. I can't believe nobody had listened to it. The Tappitt Brothers. One of the best NPR shows.
Hey Bear! As a Real Estate Agent who helps folks relocate to Minnesota, who also has tickets to see Nate at the Ordway tonight, this episode and hearing your takes on our state is the best possible warm-up.
Appreciate you fellas!!
When I listen to podcasts while driving, mowing, or doing dishes, I listen at 1.5 speed with the silence trimmed. That cuts the time in half. However, if I'm grading essays or need to be actively thinking, I have to put it on regular speed.
Great episode on Minnesota. The only thing it was lacking was more talk of the Timberwolves (the subject of many of my other podcasts)
I'll go proofread this now.
I typically listen to Nateland on 1.25 speed to make the entire crew sound ‘normal’ 😂
Ok yankee
I remember hearing about a fair charging 10 cents to see a 6 foot man eating chicken, and it was a 6 foot tall guy in a cage eating fried chicken.
Being a regular customer to the sideshows as a kid, I can relate to getting scammed by certain shows. One was Sandra the Albino Lady who multitasked as a Lady Sword Swallower. I used to come home and imitate the MC to my family. Looking back, those shows were really awful.
Absolutely wild to hear Dusty mention my high school english teacher and stand up comedian, Dusti Rhodes on the podcast. Same name as the wrestler. She's a Houston comedian who teaches high school English. Best teacher I've ever had. Maybe she can help teach Nate to read if she ever opens for him in Houston.
Love the podcast! Here’s a topic idea - since you say “Hey Bear”, how about a show on bears. They are in the news a lot from swimming at Nags Head 1:16:02 to the Cocaine Bear. I’m sure Bottle Brush & his sidekick Webbed Toes would enjoy doing the research!
What is the meaning of Hey Bear! I watched the TH-cam video of them walking in the woods saying Hey Bear. Is that all?
So when I was 10 or 11 my family went to visit some relatives in the twin cities for thanksgiving. On Black Friday we got the brilliant idea to go to the mall of America. The place was packed. I don’t remember what caught my attention but I broke off from the pack to look at something. The next thing I know, my family is long gone. I looked for them for what felt like hours. Finally they found me…but I never did get to ride that Snoopy rollercoaster… I had some experience getting left behind. When I was about 6 years old my parents left me at the St. Louis Zoo.

"Guy Marvin Barker".
My Father, possibly because he wanted me to survive childhood, hated this name with a white hot passion. He was also a very reserved man and had said nothing to my Mother about it.
It was traditional, in the faith where I was raised, for a newborn to be blessed within a few weeks of it's birth, during weekly church services in front of the whole congregation by his father.

Things were going just swimmingly until my Father got to the part where he says, "The name by which he will be known throughout his life, and in the records of the Church is."
"Marshall Preston Barker"
At that point, of course, time stopped, all the air was sucked from the building, cows stopped producing milk for miles around in all directions, and, my Mother burned a tiny hole straight through the back of my Father's suit coat and shirt, with her heat vision.
As I understand it, my Dad continued on and finished my blessing, the contents of which are unknown since sound cannot exist in a vacuum.
My father is gone now but he will forever be my hero. For so many, many reasons, but also for changing my name at the last minute so that I didn't have to grow up to be a game show host or Carnival worker.
Thanks to all you guys. Nate you've been at the top of my list of favorite comedians for many years. Aaron, things will get better. Dusty, I (begrudgingly love ya).
However, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for "Baby Bucking Bronco Brian Bates!" Brian, you are awesome, and I swear it's not just my senility that's causing me to say that.
(this is a little bit off topic but in Utah for many many years you didn't actually have to choose a name at any given point there was not a law that required you to choose a name within a certain time period. That's how the Olympic skier, named "Peekaboo Street", got her name. Her parents decided to wait and let her choose her own name. Freaking hippies!)
That's a heluva story!! Thanks for tellin it!
“Guy Slay” sounds like Nate trying to remember the term manslaughter.
Wanted to congratulate Aaron on his Comedy Central Stand up Feature. I went and saw Aaron two years ago when he came to Auburn, and he was great. Not to imply I know all that much about standup but I can tell he’s made huge strides between then and this feature. I really enjoyed it. Not only that but a few of my buddies were sending around a TikTok of Aaron’s ymca football bit, who before that clip didn’t know Aaron or this podcast. So Aaron congratulations, and keep on trucking.
As a kid growing up in Willmar Minnesota, this episode made my day. Thank you for this. Also Nate should know we have so many great golf courses up here, and bring his sticks.
Your First Pitch rant made me think of the movie Jerry Maguire, when Cuba Goodings character is trying to get his big break and in what is portrayed as some sort of triumphant moment he gets clobbered trying to make a catch. The stadium is hushed until he stands up, showing he's unhurt, and raises his arms as the entire stadium cheers for him. I never understood why he was so happy about getting cheers for not being injured. To bring it back to the rant, maybe that tik tok-er gets so happy to just get the cheers, even if it wasn't for something that great? Love the podcast!
Listening to this as I'm working and was getting ready to take a work note - seriously almost wrote Pig Eye!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My son bought a house in Mansfield MO...It used to be a rooming house and a storefront. We found out that it was a place where Laura Ingalls Wilder used to hang out. She also wrote some of her books there. There were lots of photos of her, her dog and her husband along with many documents. Down the street was the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum, which gets 30,000 visitors per year. We made the house into an Airbnb and had several Museum visitors stay there. We learned a lot about LIW! We did eventually sell the house.
I listen to Dusty's podcast at 1.5 😂
Dusty: They’re sisters, St Paul And Minneapolis.
Aaron: TWINS
Brian: Not identical, they’re fraternal
Nate:… Brothers 😂😂😂
Several years ago I was bored and searching comedians on TH-cam…I came across Nate and he, and then his podcast, became my all time favorites. Y’all are a great combo when watching the podcast, and are right about influencers. I’m a fan of @wherethekidsroam and he says it can be exhausting coming up with content, especially because he’s the funniest person I know (sorry Nate) and his followers expect to laugh. Like the Nateland podcast, he’s an acquired taste…you either love his posts or hate ‘em! Keep up the good work, guys. I look forward to watching you every single week since the podcast started!
Wednesdays have just about taken lead over Fridays because of this pod 🤣🤣
Early bird special over here with the 4 am upload
Dusty, I think the name Bo or Beau would be a strong sounding name for your son. "Bo Slay".
Congratulations to you and your family on the soon to be new addition. Children are the greatest blessing.
Dusty, I felt your name situation to my core. Parents named me Dustin, called me Dusty from the first second. Would be very nice to not have to put Dustin on all my official stuff!
This podcast discussed at length Dusty naming his child Hank and even his Dad’s love of the Braves, and never connected the two to the legendary Hank Aaron. I thought the resident sports expert Breakfast would have made the connection but no luck!
I like how the guys kind of laughed at the idea of a lakes mascot, completely forgetting that the Lakers originally played in Minneapolis. No big deal, just one of the most famous franchises in all of sports. Keep it up boys!
I’m loving watching you guys make the connections between the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and the name of our baseball team (both on the podcast and at Nate’s show in St. Paul on Sunday). 😂 But, wanted you to know that you’re not alone. My husband and I have lived in Minneapolis for over two decades, and when we weren’t both here, one of us lived in St. Paul. Our (relatively bright) kids were born and raised in Minneapolis. We recently made plans to adopt two kittens (litter mates) that the shelter had named Minnie and Paul. We had multiple conversations over several days about what to name them once they were ours. The plan was to keep the name Paul because that’s a hilarious name for a cat (especially a tiny kitten). But, we wanted to change Minnie’s name. While I was talking to my parents about our plans, my dad said, “I suppose they’re named for St. Paul and Minneapolis.”
😐😲
It took my dad two minutes to figure that out after the four of us had several days. Needless to say, we kept both names.
Fun fact: the players in the Minnesota Twins logo are also named Minnie and Paul. www.mlb.com/news/minnesota-twins-minnie-and-paul-logo-history
3 M stands for Minnesota mining and manufacturing.
Little House on the Prairie was a series of books based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s real life not just a TV show from the 70’s 😜 I thought Aaron would have mentioned that at least!
I drove around town wondering why there were flags out everywhere until I remembered it was Flag Day, which I knew about thanks to the Nateland podcast. Who says this isn’t educational?
Over 10 minutes of listening to the BAND talk about the future name of Dusty’s son.
I was crying laughing so hard that my co-workers thought I was upset and kept asking if I was okay.😅😅😅
Try putting it on your phone while you're driving🤣
Dusty would love the Little House books - he needs to buy them to read to Daisy when she's old enough!
Hello Folks! My parents named me Stephen Charles Harold McMillan, but the person writing it down Spelled Harold “Harlod”. When my mom noticed it and wanted it changed they said they had to charge her. Long story short we kept it Harlod for 20 plus years and both my sisters took great Joy in calling me that growing up. Love the Pod guys!
Hey Dusty, speaking of many legged cows…we had a 5 legged cow in college. Some of us borrowed it and put it on a dorm elevator. Stubborn. Took a dump, cops came & we ran.
Another fun fact. The LA Lakers originally started in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A “laker” is another common name for a lake trout. So the full name for the LA lakers could be the Los Angeles Lake Trouts
McDonalds: the unofficial sponsor of the Nateland Podcast
Won’t believe a guy fell throwing a pitch but a light in the Vegas sky is probably an alien.
Love the show...Jerry Van Dyke from Coach is Dick Van Dyke's brother, lots of laughs from the Van Dyke brothers. Thanks so much for the laughs guys.
I sometimes listen to the podcast on .75x speed. Everyone sounds super relaxed and maybe a little buzzed.
I know the podcast is 2 hours long already, but I listen while I work so I wanted to listen to "hang out with the gang" as long as possible while at the office.
Hey Bryan, sorry I've missed the past couple of weeks. Hope all has been good with you. We have caught another mouse and are finding brown recluse in our bug traps. Also went fishing twice recently and caught nothing so that's how things been goin here. Jus wanted to say bc its been brought up twice, polarized sunglasses help block the reflection of the sun also yellow lenses are good for this as well. And dusty saying the bones float to the bottom and it jus being passed over was a real nateland moment
I am a quarter pounder guy and was thrilled when they moved it to the number 2 slot. Second only to the OG king.
We need an episode on the history on baby names
My granddad was born in 1929. When he went to a fair as a kid he was so excited to see the advertised "giant man eating chicken"... it was in fact a large man eating chicken. Naturally he told his friends to trick them too
Y’all gotta get a 1/4 pounder and have them add Mac sauce to it. It’s one of the best burgers available at Mickey D’s.
Bangor, Maine has a competing claim as birthplace of Paul Bunyan. His birth certificate is displayed at city hall and dated February 12, 1834. There is a 31 ft statue of him in the city as well. 💪
Nate's probably not wrong about remembering watching Wings on USA. I worked 3rd shift PT at UPS in the 90s, and would get home around 4-4:30am - and I remember USA would air reruns of sitcoms in the wee hours and very early mornings. I remember seeing shows like Wings,, and Working w/ Fred Savage, also had the comic Dana Gould and the guy who played Bania on Seinfeld. Also, Fired Up w/ Leah Remini, and Veronica's Closet, News Radio, and I think Suddenly Susan, and some others I can't recall atm.
Was a teacher, now a homeschooling mom. Also said Constitution as the answer. 😉
Aaron’s mom isn’t the only one with fridge notes. A coworker had written DO NOT EAT on some meat for a potluck to stop her teen boys from wiping it out. But she left the note on in the work fridge. So no one grabbed it out for the sandwich potluck. She laughed hysterically when we thought the note was for us.
Hey Bear! Episode 100 y’all talked about the Doomsday Clock. The “time” was 100 seconds to midnight at the time of recording. It is now 90 seconds to midnight. The end is near but we’re having a good time. Keep bringing the HA’s!
In their press release they use the term "hot war" which Nate was asking after last episode.
Fun fact, the council that oversees the clock was started by Albert Einstein
.....so things aren't great....
But I'm here for the diversion!
My wife and I have a 6 month old son (who was at Nate’s Memphis show in utero) we named Henry Wayne and I call him Hanky Waynkey🤗 So I definitely vote for Hank for Dusty’s kid.
Dusty should definitely name his son danger... name him something interesting. Cheers
Got to see the 5 PM Sunday show as a Father's Day gift and it was amazing! Now watching this episode afterward and remembering the Mcdonald's bit, it feels like finding patient zero at the start of a virus. Also, speaking of a virus, Minnesota is also the home of SPAM (Hormel).
I think maybe 5 minutes out of 2 hours were actually about MN. Not enough time to cover it, Dusty’s son name choices & McDonalds
We covered everything you need to know about Minnesota. And some stuff you didn't.
I just recently started listening to the podcast, so I’m catching up on previous episodes. Listening to the “Bible & Recycling” episode reminded me of a story on ABC Nightly News about the plastic bag recycling bins at big box stores. They dropped in 46 trackers at different stores across 10 states and only 4 actually made it to sites affiliated with plastic bag recycling! Thought it was pretty interesting
Bob Dylan, Hibbing MN. Forgot other politician - Al Franken. Don’t forget Louis Anderson. (OK, did at end) Huge spontaneous gathering in Minneapolis when we learned Prince died. We had to be together to crank music, gather at 1st Avenue. All of the buildings and bridges were lit up purple. Come do a show at Mystic Lake Casino. Great shows there and it’s in a suburb. I remember it being a big deal when the Shaw of Iran was in Mayo Clinic.
Fargo & Grumpy Old Men shot in MN.
My daughter and I definitely have the cookie dough bit battle - we then stumbled on the Ben and Jerry cookie dough bits. Yes they sell just the bits in a separate bag and they are glorious. Healing family ice cream battles one pint at a time.
Dusty Springfield, her album Dusty in Memphis is great! ❤
My husband is completely on board with Nate and Dusty about not sharing food! The funny thing is, for years after we got married, I would eat a few of his french fries when we'd get fast food. (I also had my own, just a smaller order and wanted a couple extra) I never tried to hide this and assumed he was aware and did not mind, until one day when he pointed it out. I guess I was unintentionally sneakier than I thought because it turns out he had NOT noticed before and was shocked to learn that it had been happening for years. We laughed about it but, needless to say, I can no longer help myself to his fries. Now he makes sure to tell me that he is not going to share his food so if I want something I need to get my own
If they name him Duke his initials would be DRS or Dr Slay. Which probably couldn’t be more opposite of what his future holds 😂
Years ago when I was teaching 6th grade I had a student named Randy Canyon. He came in day 2 and I said RANDY CANYON! That sounds like a great Nascar name. He lit up like a Christmas tree and on Back to School night his mother told me how happy I'd made him.
I love the name convos and vote Henry Richard Slay, Hank for short.
Henry is a name of kings.
Thanks for all the fun.
@1:23:37 is like the funniest bit by Dusty I've ever heard, icecream chunk management 101
Blue Earth Minnesota is home to the Jolly Green Giant ❤️ I had to pull off the interstate and check it out cuz as a kid I thought he was real…and there he was towering over the trees. I initially thought the 70’s had finally caught up to me 😂 You guys are hysterical, and although I am not your typical demographic.. I laugh like Aaron does when Dusty is reading ads.. the show is awesome and I appreciate you all!
I thought Butcher Boy was going to say St. Paul was originally St. Saul!
Folk from New Jersey here. We actually saw Aaron at the Stress Factory! And to think he liked us....
@33:52 Hank Slay, "My dad always says '......something about freedom and getting yourself locked into a car payment, you know....' Yep, dad always had a way with words.. I'm glad we got back to the farming way of life."
Nate suggested the "Minnesota Lakes" for a team mascot. The LA Lakers were originally the Minneapolis Lakers and move to LA. Love the show.
Nate really does sound normal on 1.5x 😆
If someone asked me to come up with the worst name possible for a sunglasses company, or any company, I’d go with “Goodr.”
Blindr could be worse!
Better than “Not So Goodr”
Hello guys, I’m very partial to the name Hank. My two year old son is named Hank. I would think it’s super cool if Dusty and his wife chose that. However, I can’t help but feel that Dusty should consider, “Rusty”.
First of all, it rhymes with Dusty.
Furthermore, They can also boldly make it exclusively “Rusty Richard Slay”. Not , Russell, even though that’s not a bad name either. Rusty is perfect.
And finally, it’s “country” like Dusty.
Love all you guys
GUYS!!! It was the Minnesota LAKERS!!! Kobe?
I am a marketing manager for a regional propane company in southern Ohio, northern Kentucky, and northern West Virginia. I have been in the Propane industry for almost 20 years which means that I literally sell propane and propane accessories so if you want my opinion, I think you should go with Hank.
Dusty “maybe his one working eye was from a pig, maybe it was a pig transplant” 🤣🤣🤣
Mall of America is not the largest mall in the western hemisphere. West Edmonton Mall is bigger.
According to an article from Dec, 2021, "West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta is North America’s largest enclosed mall with over 800 stores and attractions in 3,800,000 square feet. Mall of America is the largest enclosed mall in the United States with 560 stores and attractions in 2,800,000 square feet."
You might want to update wikipedia.
@@brianbatescomedy I'm a Gen Xer.. I don't know how to alter Wikipedia. LOL. I see that it says it's 11th largest in the world, and I just read that West Ed is #6 in the world. In the article I found, It states that West Ed has remained the largest because every time they hear that Mall of America is adding on, they purposely add on more to make sure they still exceed it.
Perhaps they are using some other metric to call it the largest, like including nearby outdoor related facilities or something.
Just for the record, I hate West Ed with a fiery passion. All it is to me is where I change buses on my way to work. I've lived here for 23 years and I've only been there, maybe, five or six times... including when I'd only go from the entrance to the movie theatre.
When my wife and I had our daughters we spent quite a while figuring out their names. We did blind lists and then compared them to see which names we had in common. I also kept going back looking for middle names where the initials spelled something. Less to say she did not have the same enthusiasm as I did trying to spell some thing with the initials. Neither of our daughters names spell anything.
Where do we send a question to be answered on the podcast?
Question: When you tour in Australia and New Zealand, do you have to change any of your material for them to make it more relatable? For example: Do they have Walmart there? Or other American stores/restaurants?
Thanks, Robin (Gibsonton FL)
Boys, Pillsbury flour started there.
Love the show from New Zealand still waiting on some more Are You Garbage from the rest of you looking at you Aaron
Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed would be enemies. One trying to grow trees and one trying to cut them down
I think Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed hanging out would like Marvel and DC hanging out.
Betsy Ross was the woman who sewed the first American flag. I only know this because I learned it on last weeks episode. 😂 I love how no one remembered or corrected nate
That was the joke.
@@brianbatescomedy 🥲I realized as I rewatched it 🥸thank you for all you do bummer !
My wife and I were having dinner near the Ordway before the 9:30 pm show on Friday. A young couple sat down at the table next to us and the wife whispered something to her husband. He immediately starting screaming repeatedly "Babe, are you serious?" He then started to tear up and I assumed he had just found out that his wife was pregnant. A few moments later he said "I can't believe you got us tickets to see Bargatze!" (Mark Ingram)
I don’t know who’s face got redder Aaron’s from laughing or Dusty’s from all the emotions he was feeling while they was talking about picking his sons name I like hank myself but I’m from the south so I’m probably biased my favorite episode so far. Hey Bear
