Hello folks, Nate, Aaron and Bubbleboy. (I'm discovering you in 2024 & Dusty wasn't in this episode). I've just subscribed to your Nateland Podcast and love the immense talent in the room every week. Nate, I CAN'T WAIT to see you at the Hertz Arena in Fort Myers, FL this month. However, I wish you could have spent a few more minutes on the 1980 Olympic Hockey game between Russia and USA. Our country's morale coming out of the 1970s (Ep. #52) was at its darkest, but us winning this game between USA, a team of college students, and Russia, a well-oiled machine for decades, became the beacon of unity and hope for our country, proving hard work and perseverance will win over adversity and make dreams a reality. I was a proud American mom-to-be on that day in February, 1980. It was made into a feel-good movie Miracle (2004). 😂💙
My two year old daughter has started putting multiple words together to create sentences and recently has learned how to say “get out” but instead of saying “get out” it comes out “gout”. My wife and I laugh every time because it makes us think of Aaron. We love the podcast! Listen on every trip and watch the episodes on TH-cam instead of movies at night. Thank you Nate, Aaron and Binky for the great clean humor. Keep it up! #FolksofNateland
Can we get an episode that is solely just Back Pain telling stories from his childhood? From stealing first base to the coke shirt to getting an autograph from a high schooler, this movie is just writing itself.
Been dying to hear Nate say this phrase; “I Boiled a Bowl of Old Spoiled Oil on Tin Foil” Been a fan since episode 1, keep up the great content Nate, Bavarian cream, & Aaron.
Hello, Folks! As a mathematics educator, I must respond to “math issues.” This is called dyscalculia - It is a learning disability in math. Thank you, guys, for the good, clean humor. Please consider an episode on Math😊. Let’s go, folks!
Brian is a grown up Charlie Brown. The resting worried face, the hair, the awkward stories of his social interactions, even him losing his wedding ring a week into marriage.
Hey Fellas: here is one you never thought you would hear - I am a 70 year old aviation attorney and I love your deal. so fun to hear y'all marvel at the 80's...its like eavesdropping on the little kids. well the 80's sucked with very few exceptions, but you guys talking about all of it is heady stuff. Just so you know, I watch all the specials by myself all the time and listen to nateland as much as I can....still workin. Love y'all's banter ... keep up the good work.
I was just casually listening while working, but when B-roll said "I asked a guy in high school for his autograph" laughed so hard I had to stop working for a solid two minutes
Nate said that he will "never take advantage of it" talking about the success he has. I think he should take full advantage of it and never take it for granted. Love the pod!
I took it as him saying that he wouldn't take advantage of the fact that his fans spread the joy of his comedy via word of mouth. I appreciate that because it sucks when people take advantage of their fans and ask them to share self-serving stuff.
Hello folks! Nate is 100% right- everything in entertainment is recycled. It reminds me of a quote “there is nothing new under the sun” from Nate’s favorite book, Ecclesiastes. This podcast is so much fun. I had to pause the show when Bologna shared the story about asking for the autograph of the senior. Could not stop laughing and crying. Thanks for all the laughs! Cheers!
Nate on every subject ever: I mean, golly….I don’t even know. Nate on sports: Rex Grossman started in Super Bowl XLI in Miami for the Bears, the Colts won 29-17, Peyton Manning was the MVP ,Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and the Colts forced 5 turnovers.
Nate earns so much respect, such a smart guy. Love Aaron and Beefcakes but truth is, Nate rose to the top, with true grit integrity and he's NOT ashamed. He respects his co-comics, he's straight up, he's honorable in many ways. The reason people love him is he respects others and practices beliefs and ways that build integrity into people and communities/cultures. Things that made American families what afforded us the huge years we've had in history. Breaking down respect and honorable things will eventually distruct a people. Aaron has a little learning to do but on the right path sticking with these two guys. Beefcakes Brian is the bomb, what a faithful strength he is! Love it. Working my way through every podcast. Thx guys.
When binoculars said he asked for someone’s autograph in high school, I choked the water I was drinking and fell off a treadmill, need to cancel my planet fitness membership ASAP
I had you on as I was working from home! As you started to discuss Jay Cutler , I made a weird sound thinking I am on mute in my conference call. I wasn't on mute and I had to make some sort of annoying excuse like "sorry, I have issues with my audio". I don't think anybody believed me but it was all worth it because I stood up in support with my fellow Cutler apologists. Interceptions aren't so bad any way!
Tag line for Nateland: Nate goes off on a great rant for five minutes & gets everyone on board with his point, then immediate defies everything he just said in one fell swoop. This is seriously the best podcast around. Let’s goooooo folks!
Yesterday I walked a mile to Dunkin’ Donuts and asked for a large iced coffee with cream and sugar. When the employee was just about to hand it to me he put a dome lid on top. I immediately thought to myself “there’s no way this is about to happen”. Luckily for me they were just out of large lids and only had the dome ones left. I absolutely would’ve Uber’d back home if he put whipped cream in my coffee. Anyways I love the podcast and I keep trying to get my friends to listen to it. No luck so far.
Poor Billy Bob. I was 8 years old when you wore that New Kids on the Block shirt, and every boy in my elementary school knew it was not cool to like the New Kids. Instead of playing cooties, we used to tease each other by saying someone was a New Kids fan. I once saw a kid cry because he accidentally let it slip that he knew some of their names!
Nate, you definitely went all-out, grumpy old man, when you went off on movies, comic book movies, superheroes, etc., talking about how there aren’t any movies that are great stories any more…when comic book movies are LITERALLY movies based upon stories. Now, you might just not like those stories, but for a massive amount of people, comic books are incredible stories, filled with deep meaning, and huge layers of significance. Did you know the creation of x-men was actually inspired by the civil rights movement, and a commentary on Malcolm X’s mentality vs MLK’s?? These superhero movies are as story driven as it gets, just might not be your kind of stories. And I immediately know I’ll get made fun of, for how in depth I just went, trying to defend comic book movies. Love the podcast. Keep it up Nate, Aaron and Barley.
Nate was REAL this episode. It was refreshing having someone just call out the lazy state of affairs in modern Hollywood. I went to film school - one of those obnoxious cinephiles, ha - but Nate is proof that there's plenty people out there who see through mindless, soulless reboots and "universes" built more upon franchising than actually meaningful storytelling. The 80s had wonderful films w/ creative stories - The Princess Bride, The Goonies, Labyrinth, Willow, pretty much any John Candy movie, Raising Arizona. Film taste, like music, like everything, is subjective...so let us non-conformists be :D
The Las Vegas show was amazing! I loved having Nic Novicki and Nate’s dad open for him and there were a few jokes whose origins I recognized from the podcast.
Let’s GOOOO Folks! I couldn’t let this go for another episode. The reason you say, “The Eagles” and not “The Metallica” is because the word Eagles is a noun and Metallica is a made up word blending the words metal and vodka and came up with by Lars and James of the band. The word “The” is an article, which defines a noun. Hence “The Eagles” and just plain Metallica. Maybe college boy should have taken grammar instead of a Friendship class.
I have never agreed with Nate more on a topic than I did today. I could not have articulated my sentiments on today’s formulaic movie franchises any better than Nate did. From boring remakes to the never ending “marvel universe” it’s exhausting. My boy done good. Shout out to Biscuits and The Gout. Love the show, folks.
I have to agree with Nate. It is unbelievable McDonald’s pickles are starting to look like cucumbers. What’s next, their buns are gonna start looking like bread? Imagining Beach Body with his NKOTB shirt on in high school honestly made me think I would’ve been one of his best friends. I always tried to go out of my way to be nice to the weird nerdy kids that nobody wanted to be seen with. I’m not saying I would’ve hung out with the guy or even considered him one of my friends, I just think he would’ve considered me one of his best friends for talking to him. My wife and I love you folks and can’t wait to see Nate in OKC this fall!
Hello Nate, Aaron and fashion icon BOGO Bates! My favorite part about this and every episode of Nateland has to be Nate taking things wildly off topic, as was the case with this week's revelation that there are no new ideas and everything is just stuff that was before. Nate is so resolute abut this stuff it always cracks me up. Keep it up boys!
Brian's description of a van has me dying! "...the kind you slide open, throw some kids in there and take off." So I'm left with this image of him driving a van, giving out candy, and stealing kids in the 80s.
I was recently in Nashville for an event and ordered takeout sushi from a pretty nice place downtown. When I went to pick up my order, on the spur of the moment I said to the cashier, “The order will either be under Kevin Wright (my name) or Nate Bargatze.” Immediately, half a dozen people turned around and looked at me, and several started whispering and looking around the restaurant as if to see if Nate was in the building. I was genuinely surprised at how big a deal Nate seems to be in Nashville. We’ll done, sir!
The opening 10 minutes of the 1980s segment might be the hardest that Bifocals has ever made me laugh. Showing up to school wearing the same shirt as an older popular girl sounds like something straight out of ‘Saved by the Bell.’
Can we just get a podcast episode devoted to B-Town's life? He's old enough for a memoir anyway. I could listen to two hours of him telling stories about his life - I could use the pick me up to make me appreciate my life even more. Love the podcast and love you B-town.
Oh my Lord. I almost crashed my truck laughing at Backstreet wearing the NKOTB shirt to school. And him asking the dude from his HS for an autograph. Too funny.
All right guys one more decade and I’m ready. 80s was perfect though for my wife since she loves to watch 80s movies and pretty much all she listens to in my truck is 80’s on 8 Sirius.
Love y’all and love the show!! Was anyone else thinking “child abduction” when Biscuit said, “ Regular vans were big…slide the door open, throw some kids in and take off!” 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously folks…..keep it comin! ❤️
I got whiplash from Nate’s speedy transition from an incoherent rambling about what films he is currently watching to his deep seeded anger at modern films for being all the same
I was just mentioning to my wife how back in the day McDonald's always had special cups for when big movies came out. You don't see that anymore. I remember when Jurassic Park came out and they tied the Double Big Mac and Double Quarter Pounder release with these. This was Canada, so the US probably had these already. I could totally see Aaronland rocking one of those 8ball jackets from back in the day.
That was here in the US as well. I remember in the late 80's early 90's when they released the Disney Edition glasses too. Beauty and the Beast was fought over in my house.
I love that Nate ranted about movies not being original anymore and that's why he had to go back to watching 'Manchurian Candidate.' Which is a remake of a movie from the 60s.
This episode felt a lot like thanksgiving dinner with the family. Nate was the cantankerous old grandpa that keeps going on random rants and contradicting himself a few minutes later, while Aaron and Bates Motel were the teenage grandkids who just had to sit there and pretend to agree. But I still laughed a ton. You guys are awesome, thanks as always for a pretty good podcast.
Love the show fellas. Last ep Nate mentioned he was in a military movie mood. I am always watching military movies and shows. What you should check out if you haven't already is "Generation Kill". One season HBO series that I can watch over and over. Also if you aren't already, you need to get onto "Seal Team". Anyway, two more things. I meant to write after the plane crash episode because my step dad and best friend were in a plane that was going down over Ohio a few years back and didn't know they were on the same flight until they landed that would have been a devastating loss. Last but not least, when I first started listening to Nateland, I thought that Bubbles was Jack Mc Brayer from 30 rock. They sound so much alike. Again, Love the show guys and keep it up.
Re: Henry Winkler's bio noting math issues. When I was a freshman in college I needed a clean bill of health to go on a study abroad trip. The doctor wrote the note that said I was healthy, but had acute acne. To this day I am still mortified by the fact that she felt the need to include that on an international travel form.
Fairly new listener but I’ve heard Nate bring up the movie “The Program” twice now. I’m from Central Pennsylvania and Craig Sheffer is from the same town. I’ve drank with Craig at a local bar many times and he is the nicest guy. Always is at the bar with his little dog. The scene in the movie where Kane is telling his dad to watch the game with Jerry is referencing a longtime bar and the owner Jerry which is still in business to this day and still owned by Jerry. Love the podcast. Keep on keepin on.
THE 1980’s!!!! Thank you for making an episode all about me and my youth that I somehow feel like I know nothing about after listening to this. And yes, I wrote this comment before even listening to the episode.
Good luck pronouncing my last name, Nate. I love the moment when Nate says “look up and see if McDonald’s changed their pickles.” I think you could hear the regret Aaron had to ever agree to this podcast. Side note: my first concert was a Backstreet Boys concert in middle school. I bought a bandana and wore it to a camp for about 7 minutes until I realized it wasn’t cool. I get you Bushweed.
I love this podcast, when Brain surgeon said the 80s were full of fun stuff and then started talking about the A.I.D.s epidemic I actually slapped my knee. Let’s go folks! Aaron
Christopher Walken and Clint Eastwood. Denzel Washington and Samuel Jackson. Morgan Freeman Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins. So many roles but all different and that’s why they’re the best. I am 26 years old and I’m tired of block buster and reusing the same plot remaking movies over and over again.
This episode is Boombox very excited to talk about the 80s, Nate continuously hijacking the 80s trivia to rant about originality while Aaron tries to gently guide him back to the topic at hand
I can't believe no one got on Aaronland's case about him being entranced by the 80's Apple commercial. The guy who wasn't born yet and has never seen E.T. is basically reciting the commercial from memory! I'm willing to be he gasped the first time he saw it.
From about 1:10: to 1:30:00, Nate reminded me of my buddy Steve, whom I used to get super drunk with on many occasions. Steve never changed except he became more funny, and less upset with the world. The instance this reminds me of is when I watched him slowly go the opposite way, it was strange. The whole thing was strange, he's a very blessed dude, very nice kids, wife, dogs, horses cars you name it. I recommended Nate to he and his wife to watch today, hopefully they catch some netflix specials and not this.
Three months ago I slammed my phone in a car door. At the time my six year old was in the hospital recovering from brain surgery and we didn't have time to get it repaired. In the past month we have been attempting to get the warranty to cover it, but its actually been really nice not having a phone. Theres been the occasional inconvenience, but it feels so freeing not feeling weighed down to that dumb pocket robot.
The Orlando McDonald’s actually has a whole brick pizza oven, pasta, Belgian waffles, meatball parm subs, cotton candy ice cream, chimichangas….it’s crazy. I live pretty close to it, so when my husband and I first moved here we took a little field trip to go try it. The pizza is about what you’d expect - tastes a lot like cardboard but feels exciting to eat since it’s the only McDonald’s in the world that serves it. We tried to convince ourselves that it tasted better than it actually did. Let’s go together whenever y’all come here!
This is great! I just discovered this. I was looking for Nate's stand up and boom Nateland. I had the same McDonald's experience at the drive thru a few months ago. Now to binge the previous episodes!
Raiders of the Lost Ark was one of the more notable movies to establish the character through an initial action sequence, but the James Bond franchise was onto this way before.
You can call this episode the 1980’s if you’d like but in my mind it will be called “Nate’s 30 minute rant about the good ol days of cinema.” Thanks to Blanket for bringing us back with “Harrison Ford was #1.”
I understand Nate praising Daniel Day-Lewis for his career and the roles he picked considering the rant he was on. Then he went on to also say he liked Jason Statham who has been in four Fast and Furious movies plus a spin-off and Tom Hardy, who is a great actor, but is also part of the Marvel movie group since he plays Venom.
Not sure if y’all were watching, but The USA Men’s Gymnastics Team had a heavy dose of yelling “Let’s gooooooo” after their routines the other night. I couldn’t help but sit there and hope one of them was a fellow Folk and would slip in a “Let’s gooooo folks!” at the end of a routine. Unfortunately, none of them did. Maybe four years from now!
Nate said he is a word of mouth comedian, which is ironic since words are Nate's life long hardship. Either way, I still love the podcast. Big shout out to Nate, A A Ron and Break Room.
Nate, tell me your pilot didn’t get picked up without telling me your pilot didn’t get picked up… Nate then goes on 30 minute rant about how big budget movies have ruined storytelling in Hollywood…except Transformers and Harry Potter and Shia LaBeouf…
Nate talking about the new Transformers movie being your journey to see Transformers for the first time is hilarious, but could be done with people having just watched Fast and Furious. How they all drove out of the lot like their cars were modified.
I find it very ironic that Apple made that commercial considering their products have been instrumental in guiding us toward the very outcome they were eschewing in that ad
I died when Bromance revealed his New Kids on the Block T shirt. It’s not fair that it wasn’t cool for guys to like them, but he’s right, it wasn’t. My husband used to be a major secret fan of Justin Timberlake back in his NSYNC days. Luckily that one worked out for him. I tell all my friends to listen to y’all. Thanks for making me feel like I’m hanging out with you every time I listen to the podcast.
I wasn’t going to comment since this episode is old, but I didn’t see anybody correct the year of the challenger explosion, so I thought I’d throw my 2 cents in. It happens on Jan 28th, 1986, not 1985. It happened the literal day I was born. Anyway love the podcast fellas, you always bring it
Let's Go Folks! I've had the same conversation about the originality of movies with my father. I say movies have never been original because they almost always come from books, plays, or even video games. I can only list a handful of completely original screenplays.
I didn’t understand why Breakfast became a comedian. He was working in news went to college, seems like a normal guy. The more stories he tells about his past the more it all makes sense. The embarrassment, and agony he went through, I’m shocked he appears as normal as he does.
Hello folks, Nate, Aaron and Bubbleboy. (I'm discovering you in 2024 & Dusty wasn't in this episode). I've just subscribed to your Nateland Podcast and love the immense talent in the room every week. Nate, I CAN'T WAIT to see you at the Hertz Arena in Fort Myers, FL this month. However, I wish you could have spent a few more minutes on the 1980 Olympic Hockey game between Russia and USA. Our country's morale coming out of the 1970s (Ep. #52) was at its darkest, but us winning this game between USA, a team of college students, and Russia, a well-oiled machine for decades, became the beacon of unity and hope for our country, proving hard work and perseverance will win over adversity and make dreams a reality. I was a proud American mom-to-be on that day in February, 1980. It was made into a feel-good movie Miracle (2004). 😂💙
My two year old daughter has started putting multiple words together to create sentences and recently has learned how to say “get out” but instead of saying “get out” it comes out “gout”. My wife and I laugh every time because it makes us think of Aaron.
We love the podcast! Listen on every trip and watch the episodes on TH-cam instead of movies at night. Thank you Nate, Aaron and Binky for the great clean humor. Keep it up!
#FolksofNateland
When Brian compared himself to Steve Carrells character in anchorman... who’s name is BRICK. Perfect hahahah
After hearing about Beaver's harrowing high school experiences, I would love to hear an episode about high school.
I love that “Nate struggles a bit with reading, remembering things, and math stuff, etc.,” is officially on his Wikipedia
Nate went full on “old man yells at cloud” on his movies and music take haha
My exact thoughts. You just beat me to the post! (only by a month)
Can we get an episode that is solely just Back Pain telling stories from his childhood? From stealing first base to the coke shirt to getting an autograph from a high schooler, this movie is just writing itself.
I'd love a Childhood Memories episode!
Been dying to hear Nate say this phrase; “I Boiled a Bowl of Old Spoiled Oil on Tin Foil” Been a fan since episode 1, keep up the great content Nate, Bavarian cream, & Aaron.
Hello, Folks! As a mathematics educator, I must respond to “math issues.” This is called dyscalculia - It is a learning disability in math.
Thank you, guys, for the good, clean humor. Please consider an episode on Math😊. Let’s go, folks!
When I found about about dyscalculia, my whole life made sense.
You mean your whole life added up?
Lettie, be careful what you ask for with that Math episode suggestion! 😝
Nate in one sentence complaining about music not having words anymore and in the next saying "I don't listen to words!" Is killing me!! 😂😂
Brian is a grown up Charlie Brown. The resting worried face, the hair, the awkward stories of his social interactions, even him losing his wedding ring a week into marriage.
Thisssssss!! Not to mention being totally lovable!
I would love a whole episode on Broccoli’s life stories, fails, and embarrassing moments.
You guys mention movies a lot. I'd love to hear an episode about Movies.
It would probably have nothing to do with movies.
@@PaulieD1122 I'm curious what other movies are Nates first movie seeing
How about a Mystery Science Theater 3000 knock off but with the guys.
Nate would spend 45 min complaining About artist having too many albums
@@nathanwinning8331 Lol Seems like he has a few "firsts"
Hey Fellas: here is one you never thought you would hear - I am a 70 year old aviation attorney and I love your deal. so fun to hear y'all marvel at the 80's...its like eavesdropping on the little kids. well the 80's sucked with very few exceptions, but you guys talking about all of it is heady stuff.

New show tag line: “It’s like going through garbage looking for a lottery ticket, but I promise it’s in there.”
But we can’t guarantee what’s on the lottery ticket either
But it's not a winning number. Lol
Nate on every subject ever: I mean, golly….I don’t even know.
Nate on sports: Rex Grossman started in Super Bowl XLI in Miami for the Bears, the Colts won 29-17, Peyton Manning was the MVP ,Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and the Colts forced 5 turnovers.
BabyBump seems like a guy who slept in bunk beds way too long in his life...
like until he was 43...
Or possibly 58

"Ya know all pickles are changin'"
Nate, you definitely went all-out, grumpy old man, when you went off on movies, comic book movies, superheroes, etc., talking about how there aren’t any movies that are great stories any more…when comic book movies are LITERALLY movies based upon stories. Now, you might just not like those stories, but for a massive amount of people, comic books are incredible stories, filled with deep meaning, and huge layers of significance.

Lars got the name from a friend.
Where did the friend get it? He got it from Piers Anthony’s novel, Prostho Plus
I have never agreed with Nate more on a topic than I did today. I could not have articulated my sentiments on today’s formulaic movie franchises any better than Nate did. From boring remakes to the never ending “marvel universe” it’s exhausting. My boy done good. Shout out to Biscuits and The Gout. Love the show, folks.
Rory Scovel used to sometimes open and say I know what your thinking. Is this the comedian who reads minds? Hes one of my favorites lol
I have to agree with Nate. It is unbelievable McDonald’s pickles are starting to look like cucumbers. What’s next, their buns are gonna start looking like bread? Imagining Beach Body with his NKOTB shirt on in high school honestly made me think I would’ve been one of his best friends. I always tried to go out of my way to be nice to the weird nerdy kids that nobody wanted to be seen with.

Brian's description of a van has me dying! "...the kind you slide open, throw some kids in there and take off."
So I'm left with this image of him driving a van, giving out candy, and stealing kids in the 80s.
that autograph comment absolutely killed me, only Bates can top 2 humiliating stories with a more humiliating story in a only 2 year span of his life

Can we just get a podcast episode devoted to B-Town's life? He's old enough for a memoir anyway. I could listen to two hours of him telling stories about his life - I could use the pick me up to make me appreciate my life even more. Love the podcast and love you B-town.
Oh my Lord. I almost crashed my truck laughing at Backstreet wearing the NKOTB shirt to school. And him asking the dude from his HS for an autograph. Too funny.
All right guys one more decade and I’m ready.
80s was perfect though for my wife since she loves to watch 80s movies and pretty much all she listens to in my truck is 80’s on 8 Sirius.
Love y’all and love the show!! Was anyone else thinking “child abduction” when Biscuit said, “ Regular vans were big…slide the door open, throw some kids in and take off!” 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously folks…..keep it comin! ❤️
I just realized how skinny Aaron looks. Keep it up!
I love seeing bumbaclot’s head change shades of red throughout the episode
Love the podcast. Y’all should do a “the Office” and “Seinfeld” episode
I got whiplash from Nate’s speedy transition from an incoherent rambling about what films he is currently watching to his deep seeded anger at modern films for being all the same
I was just mentioning to my wife how back in the day McDonald's always had special cups for when big movies came out. You don't see that anymore. I remember when Jurassic Park came out and they tied the Double Big Mac and Double Quarter Pounder release with these. This was Canada, so the US probably had these already.
I could totally see Aaronland rocking one of those 8ball jackets from back in the day.
That was here in the US as well. I remember in the late 80's early 90's when they released the Disney Edition glasses too. Beauty and the Beast was fought over in my house.
I love that Nate ranted about movies not being original anymore and that's why he had to go back to watching 'Manchurian Candidate.' Which is a remake of a movie from the 60s.
This episode felt a lot like thanksgiving dinner with the family. Nate was the cantankerous old grandpa that keeps going on random rants and contradicting himself a few minutes later, while Aaron and Bates Motel were the teenage grandkids who just had to sit there and pretend to agree. But I still laughed a ton. You guys are awesome, thanks as always for a pretty good podcast.
Nate: movies today are too similar. I’m tired of seeing the same characters.
Also Nate: I guess I’ll go watch Glory again
"What was I going to say...doesn't matter" should be the tagline for this show.
Nate: what's with all these reboots?
Also Nate: but I wouldn't mind another Scream sequel you know?
Love the show fellas. Last ep Nate mentioned he was in a military movie mood. I am always watching military movies and shows. What you should check out if you haven't already is "Generation Kill". One season HBO series that I can watch over and over. Also if you aren't already, you need to get onto "Seal Team". Anyway, two more things. I meant to write after the plane crash episode because my step dad and best friend were in a plane that was going down over Ohio a few years back and didn't know they were on the same flight until they landed that would have been a devastating loss. Last but not least, when I first started listening to Nateland, I thought that Bubbles was Jack Mc Brayer from 30 rock. They sound so much alike. Again, Love the show guys and keep it up.
Re: Henry Winkler's bio noting math issues. When I was a freshman in college I needed a clean bill of health to go on a study abroad trip. The doctor wrote the note that said I was healthy, but had acute acne. To this day I am still mortified by the fact that she felt the need to include that on an international travel form.
Loki's in a Hon Dai car eating a Klondike bar. It's unbelievable :)
Fairly new listener but I’ve heard Nate bring up the movie “The Program” twice now. I’m from Central Pennsylvania and Craig Sheffer is from the same town. I’ve drank with Craig at a local bar many times and he is the nicest guy. Always is at the bar with his little dog. The scene in the movie where Kane is telling his dad to watch the game with Jerry is referencing a longtime bar and the owner Jerry which is still in business to this day and still owned by Jerry. Love the podcast. Keep on keepin on.
THE 1980’s!!!! Thank you for making an episode all about me and my youth that I somehow feel like I know nothing about after listening to this. And yes, I wrote this comment before even listening to the episode.
Good luck pronouncing my last name, Nate.
I love the moment when Nate says “look up and see if McDonald’s changed their pickles.” I think you could hear the regret Aaron had to ever agree to this podcast.
Side note: my first concert was a Backstreet Boys concert in middle school. I bought a bandana and wore it to a camp for about 7 minutes until I realized it wasn’t cool. I get you Bushweed.
Nate's old man movie rant is so funny.
The SIDE SANDWHICH! That's hilarious. You gotta get one, but thought I was just a fatty.
I love this podcast, when Brain surgeon said the 80s were full of fun stuff and then started talking about the A.I.D.s epidemic I actually slapped my knee.
Let’s go folks!
Aaron
Christopher Walken and Clint Eastwood. Denzel Washington and Samuel Jackson. Morgan Freeman Jack Nicholson and Anthony Hopkins. So many roles but all different and that’s why they’re the best. I am 26 years old and I’m tired of block buster and reusing the same plot remaking movies over and over again.
If Nate is looking for some new movies to watch, I’ve got nothing but great things to say about the Hooked on Phonics DVDs.
😆
This episode is Boombox very excited to talk about the 80s, Nate continuously hijacking the 80s trivia to rant about originality while Aaron tries to gently guide him back to the topic at hand
I can't believe no one got on Aaronland's case about him being entranced by the 80's Apple commercial. The guy who wasn't born yet and has never seen E.T. is basically reciting the commercial from memory! I'm willing to be he gasped the first time he saw it.
Brian is my favorite!! 🎉🎉🎉
In the past I’ve avoiding writing “etc” in the comments here because I thought Nate wouldn’t get it.
From about 1:10: to 1:30:00, Nate reminded me of my buddy Steve, whom I used to get super drunk with on many occasions. Steve never changed except he became more funny, and less upset with the world. The instance this reminds me of is when I watched him slowly go the opposite way, it was strange. The whole thing was strange, he's a very blessed dude, very nice kids, wife, dogs, horses cars you name it. I recommended Nate to he and his wife to watch today, hopefully they catch some netflix specials and not this.
Three months ago I slammed my phone in a car door. At the time my six year old was in the hospital recovering from brain surgery and we didn't have time to get it repaired. In the past month we have been attempting to get the warranty to cover it, but its actually been really nice not having a phone. Theres been the occasional inconvenience, but it feels so freeing not feeling weighed down to that dumb pocket robot.
Nate makes it sound like he let's everyone 😮sleep on his helix mattress with him and laura. 😂
The Orlando McDonald’s actually has a whole brick pizza oven, pasta, Belgian waffles, meatball parm subs, cotton candy ice cream, chimichangas….it’s crazy. I live pretty close to it, so when my husband and I first moved here we took a little field trip to go try it. The pizza is about what you’d expect - tastes a lot like cardboard but feels exciting to eat since it’s the only McDonald’s in the world that serves it. We tried to convince ourselves that it tasted better than it actually did. Let’s go together whenever y’all come here!
Crossover suv's were started in '96 so Aaron had a new vehicle in his lifetime
A Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein reference all in the same episode….GOOD NIGHT FOLKS!
This is great! I just discovered this. I was looking for Nate's stand up and boom Nateland. I had the same McDonald's experience at the drive thru a few months ago. Now to binge the previous episodes!
Raiders of the Lost Ark was one of the more notable movies to establish the character through an initial action sequence, but the James Bond franchise was onto this way before.
A new Marvel Superhero Movie?!?! LETTTSSSS GOOOOOO!!!!
This week on the Nateland Podcast, 20 minutes of Nate telling the Marvel movies to get off his lawn…
Ya know, all pickles are changing...
I think all of the Folks need to get a McDonald's burger with pickles and test them out
Take away all of Gretzky’s goals and he’s still the all time points leader in the nhl
Nate just dissed everything I love except for Hollywood Undead and cats. lol
You can call this episode the 1980’s if you’d like but in my mind it will be called “Nate’s 30 minute rant about the good ol days of cinema.” Thanks to Blanket for bringing us back with “Harrison Ford was #1.”
I understand Nate praising Daniel Day-Lewis for his career and the roles he picked considering the rant he was on. Then he went on to also say he liked Jason Statham who has been in four Fast and Furious movies plus a spin-off and Tom Hardy, who is a great actor, but is also part of the Marvel movie group since he plays Venom.
Not sure if y’all were watching, but The USA Men’s Gymnastics Team had a heavy dose of yelling “Let’s gooooooo” after their routines the other night. I couldn’t help but sit there and hope one of them was a fellow Folk and would slip in a “Let’s gooooo folks!” at the end of a routine. Unfortunately, none of them did. Maybe four years from now!
Nate said he is a word of mouth comedian, which is ironic since words are Nate's life long hardship. Either way, I still love the podcast. Big shout out to Nate, A A Ron and Break Room.
Nate, tell me your pilot didn’t get picked up without telling me your pilot didn’t get picked up… Nate then goes on 30 minute rant about how big budget movies have ruined storytelling in Hollywood…except Transformers and Harry Potter and Shia LaBeouf…
Nate talking about the new Transformers movie being your journey to see Transformers for the first time is hilarious, but could be done with people having just watched Fast and Furious.
How they all drove out of the lot like their cars were modified.
I find it very ironic that Apple made that commercial considering their products have been instrumental in guiding us toward the very outcome they were eschewing in that ad
@@scotth3918 sorry, I really misunderstood. I deleted the comment.
Do you think Henry Winkler hit the jukebox on Happy Days because of his math problems and didn’t know what number to pick?
I died when Bromance revealed his New Kids on the Block T shirt. It’s not fair that it wasn’t cool for guys to like them, but he’s right, it wasn’t. My husband used to be a major secret fan of Justin Timberlake back in his NSYNC days. Luckily that one worked out for him. I tell all my friends to listen to y’all. Thanks for making me feel like I’m hanging out with you every time I listen to the podcast.
I wasn’t going to comment since this episode is old, but I didn’t see anybody correct the year of the challenger explosion, so I thought I’d throw my 2 cents in. It happens on Jan 28th, 1986, not 1985. It happened the literal day I was born. Anyway love the podcast fellas, you always bring it
Let's Go Folks! I've had the same conversation about the originality of movies with my father. I say movies have never been original because they almost always come from books, plays, or even video games. I can only list a handful of completely original screenplays.
I think the worst part about Vandy losing the 3 pointer streak was that it was against Tennessee.
Yeah, and that UK will always be better anyway gfy
B Money Bate$ shined in this episode, he deserved a cool nickname.
I didn’t understand why Breakfast became a comedian. He was working in news went to college, seems like a normal guy. The more stories he tells about his past the more it all makes sense. The embarrassment, and agony he went through, I’m shocked he appears as normal as he does.
You guys need to watch some foreign films not just American ones. New Zealand and Australia have some amazing films too
"The movie "Inception" was just too much inside baseball".
😂😂😂
They need to do quality movies from the 80s shows DinoSaucers and Voltron. Oh, and the Littles, Gummi Bears, and maybe even Captain Planet.
