Please please please do the Roman Empire. As a former high school history teacher I do cringe the entire time I listen to a history-themed Nateland podcast, but it’s like a train wreck - I can’t turn away. Love y’all!
I completely agree. Ancient Rome is one subject I wish I had paid more attention to growing up. Now I’m like most people and 80% of what I know about Rome is from Gladiator and other movies/HBO. A lecture on Rome from Professor Bates would be a great episode
The Bargatze Effect is one's hopeful attempt to learn about a subject in a rather short amount of time only to become more confused, whilst discovering new words that one will never be able to pronounce in a correct manner.
I was shocked to hear my comment read and even more shocked that Nate got my name right on the first try. Usually people say Rachel, so way to go Nate!
Thanks for the show folks. I majored in history and am graduating summa cum laude with a masters in educational policy, and I love hearing the conversations here. Brunch Box, Aaron and Nate seem like great guys who are connecting with a lot of people. I mostly came to say the answer to 60 across in today’s New York Times crossword was Nate Bargatze. Congrats on everything and I hope to see you live soon.
Nate taking about the word “gravity” made me think: it might be fun to do an episode on words or etymology, which is the study of where words come from, or even where different phrases come from.
This episode checked off alot of the Nateland boxes Broad brush topic✓ Spend 30 minutes on a very specific part of that topic✓ Bean makes a joke about his age✓ Aaron has absolutely random hat✓ Random unrelated aaron references leading to Nate having to scold him✓ Nate rant✓ Bean rushing to squeeze in all of his fun facts✓ Nate being glad when it's over✓ Keep up the great work guys, p.s. I watch the show so I don't care y'all spent the majority of it looking at a painting that the listeners can't see
I love how Bob Ripplepants slipped in “you talk good” directed at Jesse when discussing grammar at the beginning and no one noticed but you could see his proud half smirk. Don’t worry, Bradley Bean, I noticed too.
Favorite part of the whole episode just kind of got blown through. When Aaron “the grill” Weber asks, “Are those corn dogs on the table?”, and Buster says, “uh, I think that’s bread.” Had to pull over to the side of the road from laughing to the point of tears! Best podcast out there by far! Thank you guys for being great! “Take this corn dog, and eat from it.” How different church would have been!
Hello, Folks! I’d like to introduce a phrase-“The Nateland Podcast Effect” - that feeling when you see the topic of the latest episode of your favorite podcast and think that it won’t be entertaining, only to realize while watching it, it is the most fun, hilarious 1 1/2 to 2 hours of the week. Thank you, Gentlemen!
I study art history and Mizzou and this is the content I've been waiting for! Nate, come be an adjunct professor here in art history and help us see art through your lens.
Oh hell yeah! First stop: check out the GORGEOUS murals inside El Rancho. If you can look past the dried queso on the walls, you’ll see an unrivaled masterpiece
You should do the time stamps for everytime Aaron starts to wheeze laugh. I usually listen while driving and i will start to not really pay attention, but whenever i start to hear the wheeze laugh i know i need to rewind the last minute. I love the podcast, keep up the good work Nate, Aaron and Bacon Bits.
The way Breakfast looks at Nate and says "you're confident" when clarifying the idiom "often wrong, never in doubt" is like that of a proud, patient father always there to dust off his stumbling, naive son.
Nate, Aaron and Braces- lately we’ve been trying to convince our 3 year old daughter penguin is pronounced panguin and she gets so upset and yells “no it’s PENGUIN” back at us. Thanks for all you do, love the pod!!
I would love an episode (or at least a highlight episode, like the zoo trip with Nick) where we see Nate, Aaron and Bee-stings play 18 holes together. I think y’all would be so funny!!! Get it in there before it becomes too hot outside... or don’t, I’d imagine comedic gold could be produced from the heat element alone. **cough, Aaron**. Love you guys!!
Great episode! I couldn’t think of 3 more qualified guys to talk about the renaissance. Nate thinks it’s all about ninja turtles, Aaron thinks it’s all about apples, and Busted thinks Leonardo de Vinci used mouse cursors to spice up paintings. Y’all make me laugh so much! Keep it up!!
Wow! Never did I think that a year ago when I started listening to this podcast that at some point Nate would be arguing with Bates about whether Shakespeare was more relevant than Da Vinci. You guys never cease to amaze me. Thanks for the great content and keep it coming!
Man... I cannot say enough how much I love this podcast. It’s unbelievable. Nate has been a long time favorite for me but Aaron and Banjo have quickly joined rank. Keep it going, guys.
Brian Bates wins again for best Reference!! Equating Leonardo Da Vinci heckling Michelangelo to the insult scene between Zoolander and Hansel (He's so Hot right now!) Keep em' coming Bedbugs!
Aaron brings up The Scream and my wife says "That's not the Renaissance", then when Blister says the exact same thing proceeds to yell at the TV "PUT ME ON THE SHOW". She will be sending a resume shortly.
That zoolander reference was the funniest part of this episode. Even funnier that no one understood it. I got you Bates!! Comment on my comment because I used your name. I think.
Vespucci wasn't the first European to discover the America, but he was the first to understand that the Americas were their own unique continents, and not just a part of Asia as was initially thought. And that led to the map guys using his name.
Hello folks! I can relate to the drug induced dreams! I am recently recovered from a 60 day hospital stay with Covid pneumonia (hopefully Nate can pronounce this right lol) and while I was on the ventilator I had the strangest dreams. To the point where I had to do some research via Google once I woke up that they were actual dreams and not reality. I had one in particular that I swore I watched an entire 10 episode TV series only to find out it was a dream. Love the podcast guys! Thanks for the laughs each and every week!
Can't wait to listen to this -- already had a massive laugh just from seeing the title. I love that you guys are tackling this and am looking forward to all that I will unlearn today.
I'm in that exact same situation they talked about at the 12:00 mark, my mate's wedding is coming up and he has chosen the most awkward colour for the Tuxedo for the wedding - Deep Purple, a colour that none of us would probably ever wear again, and he got a group deal for us; so we don't even have the option to go get it cheaper elsewhere. He locked us in, and I'm hoping all my other mates just choose that same colour for their wedding. I'm done buying wedding tuxedos.
This is by far my favorite podcast that covers Barbara Streisand and Galileo back to back with literally no segue. Baton killed the intensive Wikipedia research as always.
After taking into consideration what Nate says about a golfer sugar coating their average with mulligans exedra, exedra.. I’ve come to realize my average isn’t what I thought it was. I have yet to hit below 100 this year. I never thought a podcast about pirates, calendars, and aliens would make me worse at golf. Nice work you guys.
How many proofs of purchase did Aaron have to send in to get the Sunny D hat? In all seriousness guys, Iove the show ...I think it’s time for an episode from the driving range with Nate giving Bran Flakes some pointers!
Man oh man, I have been bingeing this podcast as fast as possible just so I could catch up and leave a comment, but since each episode is ~ TWO HOURS, this has taken me quite a while... But I did it, and here we are! I have learned nothing, but I've loved every minute of it, just like high school for Nate. The debate about which of these guys is which Seinfeld/Office/whatever character is the wrong conversation IMO. The best analogy I can think of is The Big Lebowski, and every episode further confirms this. Nate is obviously The Dude (El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing), Brownie Brittle is Donnie (with a bit of Huckleberry Hound thrown in for good measure), and Aaron is Walter ("You want a toe? I could get you a toe by 3:00"). Although Nate is pretty put together, so The Big Lebowski is more like Nate if Laura ever left him. Wandering through a grocery store in his bathrobe, paying for one quart of milk with a check. Love the show, Gary Vider and Graham Kay were my favorite guests. Aaron is definitely the smartest member of the crew, although every so often he says something pretty dumb, which makes me feel better about not going to college. Keep up the great work! P.S. A friend of my dad's (Kevin Eastman) created the Ninja Turtles, it was originally a pretty violent graphic novel series and they drastically changed them into the lovable characters we know to appeal to kids and a wider audience. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird studied art, and I think they just wanted an homage to classical painters before they realized they would turn into party animals who eat pizza and whatnot. My dad told him his idea was terrible and no one would buy it, but obviously he was way wrong.
Nate: Makes fun of the idea of Aaron having a driver. Also Nate: Private golf courses are good, but public courses are brutal! Beware, my friend, the "Greatest Average American" label may be slipping.
I hope you guys get to 100 episodes!! You all are so funny together in the way you play off each other. Keep up the good work, and love the idea of a dinosaur episode. A few bits of knowledge and lots of laughs every time.
Aaron had all of us fooled from episode one that he was some Catholic, secret genius. That was proven a myth today when Aaron asked if those were corn dogs on the table at the Last Supper. That may get you excommunicated! (kicked out of the Church,Nate)
Does Notre Dame offer refunds? After the philosophy episode I thought that maybe Aaron had earned all the accolades Nate and Bungle give him, but between not knowing about Amerigo Vespucci and thinking Johnny Appleseed was a nursery rhyme, I’m not so sure. I’d put my 1 semester of community college up against his friendship degree. Also, listening to Nate pronounce Dinosaur names could be hilarious!
Fun Episode Idea: Flat Earth Since we already have Big Foot and Aliens under our belts, why not also cover a more down to earth theory--the earth being flat. I think you guys will find the topic more fun and interesting than you might initially think! During the episode, Bingo Bob can read through some of "200 Proofs the Earth is not a Spinning Ball" by Eric Dubay to get the conversations going (pdf linked below). Also, before shooting the episode, if you guys want to refresh your memories about how society went from believing the earth was flat to believing the earth is a spinning globe, I suggesting watching the documentary "The History of Flat Earth" (video linked below). I'll bet this will be your most watched episode to date, if you guys choose to make it. Love the show, keep killing it guys! LInks: 200 Proofs the Earth is not a Spinning Ball: tinyurl.com/u3s3ku84 The History of Flat Earth: tinyurl.com/2r4m8pc4
I love that every episode is doomed to fall off the tracks at some point. It’s like you know a train wreck is coming but you just can’t look away. Each is one is a beautiful disaster. Except the Wall Street episode. That one was just a disaster. On the flip side, I listened to it on a day that I had a migraine and would you believe the migraine wasn’t the worst part of my day. But other than that, these have all been amazing. Sincerest thanks to Nate, Aaron and Boogie Nights.
I discovered this podcast after watching both Netflix specials, started at 1 a couple of weeks ago, and got all caught up while painting all the trim and cabinets in my house white. I have a PhD in literacy and Nate, you don’t have dyslexia, Bort, you look like Caillou and no one has mentioned that yet, and Aaron, the education you received at Notre Dame is the reason I am no longer in education.
For Aaron, if you want a good groomsman gift you could always do a toilet plunger with their initials and wedding date on it. That way they are reminded of all the money that went down the toilet on the tux they had to buy for your stupid wedding.
This renaissance episode was great guys. I'm not sure how the you tube algorithm works, but I was watching some of Brian Bates' "comedy" and an ad for depends undergarments came on in the middle.
Loved the cast, always do. Two things I must say, first Nate asked about when the Shredder artist appeared, and you mentioned him earlier, Banks is clearly The Shredder, since he shredded one of his works at an auction. And Barkley, you said Da Vinci invented the helicopter, he theorized it, but considering it didn’t become a reality until about 300 years after he died, I don’t think you can say he invented it
In response to this week's comment about groomsmen and wedding etiquette, I have a related story. I recently turned down an invitation to a wedding. My excuse was that work was just too busy and I couldn't figure out how to make the trip. But the groom had an unbelievable response. He said "Well, that will always be a problem forever. Are you never going to another wedding again? When will you not have work?" I was a little shook because that's a great point. Luckily, we were on the phone so I was able to make something up and get out of the conversation. But I think that if we were talking in person he would have had me cornered and I would have had to agree to go to the wedding. What do you guys think about this conversation? Love the podcast, keep it up!
Seeing you guys talk about The Renaissance period gives me a pretty good idea what it would look like if prisoners sentenced from the 40s had to talk about cellphones and remote controls.
I just waiting for the next episode of the Nateland podcast to be about roads, like what’s the difference between a highway and interstate and when does a highway stop being a interstate and when does start being a highway again? Big brain questions here.
I love how Nate made sure to announce the "pre recorded episode" but the quality was exactly the same. I feel like if you take time to announce something like that you should throw a couple fancy transitions or something in there, or at least edit out the nose whistle and Aaron's heavy exhale eveytime he shifts his weight in the chair...but glad it didn't change too much because it's great. Look forward to every Wednesday.
Man, I really thought Busta Rhymes would have some of his trademarked depressing event fun facts in this episode. Glad to see he’s in a better mood! Love the show y’all are the best!
I was under the impression that it was the Pope who asked Michelangelo how long it was going to take for the ceiling to be completed...and he asked him many times - over and over again.
CONSPIRACY THEORY: This podcast is starting to feel like Bed Bug and Aaron were hired by Nate’s wife to tutor him on remedial subjects. Every time Nate try’s to riff on something and add humor, the guys are quick to get him back on track. It’s almost as if Laura is sending them threatening messages to remind them that they get payed by the hour. Meanwhile, Nate and the audience are unaware. They have even toyed with us by making Nate do an episode on Conspiracy Theories.... are we all just pawns in Laura’s elaborate scheme to educate her husband enough that she can have a half intellectual conversation with him? Are Breakfast and Aaron in on it? Is Breakfast even his real name? Find out next week on NATELAND!!
Here’s a tip on using wikipedia for research from a former adjunct instructor...Look at the page for a general idea of a subject. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and look at the linked articles. Read those and cite them instead of Wikipedia.
Here's a simple slacker Wikipedia hack. Don't cite Wikipedia, go to the bottom of the wiki page and look at the references, then cite directly to those.
Attended my son's college graduation from the University of Texas last weekend. Most major universities have a LOT of international students these days, and there are plenty of really difficult names to pronounce. I would pay good money to listen to Nate read the names at a college graduation as the graduates walk across stage!
Hello folks! Love this show! Thank you Nate, Aaron, and Butterfinger for the laughs every week! I enjoy the constant and incessant jabs at each other. Turr Lerr is missing out! What is yall’s favorite Seinfeld episode? I love the one where Kramer gets a line in the Woody Allen movie. Classic! Keep up the good work friends.
Hello folks. Love the podcast. The first episode I watched was the Wild West episode where Easy Breezy Beautiful’s nostrils stole the show by whispering sweet nothings into the microphone. Keep up the great work
I was surprised to see the NY Times crossword puzzle clue today for 60 across was a four letter word for stand up comedian Bargatze.....they obviously haven’t forgotten you up there in NYC....still quite a shock to see your name as a clue to something from the puzzle masters at the NY times crossword. They surely must know there is no chance you could finish the crossword after writing in N-A-T-E..... ;-)))))
I went to the one of the New England Boarding Schools that Harry Potter was based off of (Phillips Exeter, St. Paul's, etc.). One of the things she takes most blatantly is the Gryffindor / Slytherin / Ravenclaw / etc. Our sorting hat was not as theatrical (probably an excel sheet). But if a relative of yours was in a house as an alumni, you'd also be in that house. We also didn't get points for our house from saving the world. It was often from achievements in athletics / academics. Our school was also where the namesake of Ian Fleming's James Bond books went to high school (meaning the original James Bond was originally from NEW England). (there was also a Harry Potter but there is no evidence that he was the namesake).
I did a project on Amerigo Vespucci back in elementary school. From what I remember America is named after him because he is the one to realize that the Americas were a whole new continent and not just India, like Columbus thought. That's also why we have referred to Native Americans as "Indians" because Chris didn't know where he was. It's a fun fact but... ya know... people are listening...
I live in Ft. Wayne and Johnny Appleseed is buried here. You can visit his grave to this day. I hope he's not a myth, because if he is then we have no idea who's buried in that grave.
You guys ever gonna have Aaron’s friend Citrus on the podcast? I think he would bring some pretty interesting opinions to the conversation. At a minimum, he would likely terrify Burly Buckets.
All of you are obviously intelligent. Comedy requires an ability to critically think about things and find a unique perspective while also being relatable. But golly, Aaron is only mildly more intelligent than Nate and BB-8.
I took a tour of the Sistine Chapel about a year and a half ago. They also mentioned that pope the told Michelangelo to hurry up, so he painted a bare butt on the Sun and Moon section, which is right above where the pope stood during mass. Not sure if this is the origin of "mooning" someone, but it seems like it could be.
I’m 45 minutes in, and Bald Eagle has already said “we talked about that in another episode” twice. I figured you guys would run out of stuff to talk about eventually, but I guess I gave you too much credit for expecting it to take longer than 45 episodes
Nate saying "I don't get nightmares but I do have scary dreams" is like Michael Scott saying "I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitous"
😂😂😂 yes!
I gasped when I saw this topic! Turr Lurr will be sorry he missed this one. Looking forward to Aaronland today.
And a super special surprise episode of “Ladyland”!
Nate saying "that's an old episode" referring to Seinfeld that's been off the air for 24 years
Lol I thought the same.
Please please please do the Roman Empire. As a former high school history teacher I do cringe the entire time I listen to a history-themed Nateland podcast, but it’s like a train wreck - I can’t turn away. Love y’all!
I completely agree. Ancient Rome is one subject I wish I had paid more attention to growing up. Now I’m like most people and 80% of what I know about Rome is from Gladiator and other movies/HBO.
A lecture on Rome from Professor Bates would be a great episode
The Bargatze Effect is one's hopeful attempt to learn about a subject in a rather short amount of time only to become more confused, whilst discovering new words that one will never be able to pronounce in a correct manner.
Nate’s Streisand Effect rant...epic. He took the Renaissance to the modern age then back to the Garden of Eden. Respect.
No kidding!
He was so right about that lol
Aaron should give a Planet Fitness membership to all of his groomsmen. While he's there, he can cancel his.
I was shocked to hear my comment read and even more shocked that Nate got my name right on the first try. Usually people say Rachel, so way to go Nate!
When Brian casually joked, "I think she's dead now." to Nate about the Mona Lisa lady, I laughed for way longer than necessary.
hostess: table for 13?
Jesus: make it a table for 26, we are all going to sit on the same side.
Thanks for the show folks. I majored in history and am graduating summa cum laude with a masters in educational policy, and I love hearing the conversations here. Brunch Box, Aaron and Nate seem like great guys who are connecting with a lot of people. I mostly came to say the answer to 60 across in today’s New York Times crossword was Nate Bargatze. Congrats on everything and I hope to see you live soon.
Nate taking about the word “gravity” made me think: it might be fun to do an episode on words or etymology, which is the study of where words come from, or even where different phrases come from.
This episode checked off alot of the Nateland boxes
Broad brush topic✓
Spend 30 minutes on a very specific part of that topic✓
Bean makes a joke about his age✓
Aaron has absolutely random hat✓
Random unrelated aaron references leading to Nate having to scold him✓
Nate rant✓
Bean rushing to squeeze in all of his fun facts✓
Nate being glad when it's over✓
Keep up the great work guys, p.s. I watch the show so I don't care y'all spent the majority of it looking at a painting that the listeners can't see
I love how Bob Ripplepants slipped in “you talk good” directed at Jesse when discussing grammar at the beginning and no one noticed but you could see his proud half smirk. Don’t worry, Bradley Bean, I noticed too.
Jesse?
@@Johnrox1550
Nate reminds me of Jesse from Breaking Bad which incidentally is also his favorite TV show.
@@NYSignfield ah I gotcha
Favorite part of the whole episode just kind of got blown through. When Aaron “the grill” Weber asks, “Are those corn dogs on the table?”, and Buster says, “uh, I think that’s bread.” Had to pull over to the side of the road from laughing to the point of tears! Best podcast out there by far! Thank you guys for being great!
“Take this corn dog, and eat from it.” How different church would have been!
They do look like corn dogs tho lol
@@freeradical77 true! It’s just funny talking about the Renaissance and corn dogs is what pops in his head lol!

Another classic episode! It’s like “History for Dummies”!

Get it in there before it becomes too hot outside... or don’t, I’d imagine comedic gold could be produced from the heat element alone. **cough, Aaron**. Love you guys!!
The TNMT name's come from a book of Renaissance painters Splinter found in the sewer. Thanks for coming to my nerdy TED talk.
Great episode! I couldn’t think of 3 more qualified guys to talk about the renaissance. Nate thinks it’s all about ninja turtles, Aaron thinks it’s all about apples, and Busted thinks Leonardo de Vinci used mouse cursors to spice up paintings. Y’all make me laugh so much! Keep it up!!

VERY cool getting to see the other side of the room with all the equipment! Love the studio and the show!
Episode suggestion - "MYTHOLOGY" aaron can talk about paul bunion chopping down an apple tree
That zoolander reference was the funniest part of this episode. Even funnier that no one understood it. I got you Bates!! Comment on my comment because I used your name. I think.

Rewatching episodes and the 30 second clip starting at 1:12:05 has me rolling!
I'm in that exact same situation they talked about at the 12:00 mark, my mate's wedding is coming up and he has chosen the most awkward colour for the Tuxedo for the wedding - Deep Purple, a colour that none of us would probably ever wear again, and he got a group deal for us; so we don't even have the option to go get it cheaper elsewhere.

"Dreams" would be a good episode..
This is by far my favorite podcast that covers Barbara Streisand and Galileo back to back with literally no segue. Baton killed the intensive Wikipedia research as always.
I have to see the pilot for Nate’s sitcom! Come on folks ❤

I can’t believe this is episode #45. Congratulations on the success of the podcast. I look forward to each new episode!

P.S.

My dad told him his idea was terrible and no one would buy it, but obviously he was way wrong.
Nate looks like Gary V without business advice. 👍 Love the pod!
Nate: Makes fun of the idea of Aaron having a driver.
Also Nate: Private golf courses are good, but public courses are brutal!
Beware, my friend, the "Greatest Average American" label may be slipping.
Aaron, I read all of those CS Lewis books on the accelerated reader program back in the 1990s in elementary school and immediately knew the reference.
1:16:30. I imagine Barbara Streisand saying “Whatever you do, DON’T call it The Barbara Streisand Effect!!!” ...Got em hook, line, and sinker. Hahaha
I really want an isolated feed of just Brian's background comments.
So subtle. So good. I've been keeping a quote sheet
I hope you guys get to 100 episodes!! You all are so funny together in the way you play off each other. Keep up the good work, and love the idea of a dinosaur episode. A few bits of knowledge and lots of laughs every time.
Biggest fan here, but the Renaissance episode was brutal. Keep up the good work!
Aaron had all of us fooled from episode one that he was some Catholic, secret genius. That was proven a myth today when Aaron asked if those were corn dogs on the table at the Last Supper. That may get you excommunicated! (kicked out of the Church,Nate)
2 yrs later, and I'd really like to see this pilot - maybe drop it as a special 🤷♂
Does Notre Dame offer refunds? After the philosophy episode I thought that maybe Aaron had earned all the accolades Nate and Bungle give him, but between not knowing about Amerigo Vespucci and thinking Johnny Appleseed was a nursery rhyme, I’m not so sure.

Great idea. I’d love for them to even just watch the Netflix documentary and talk about that.
I love that every episode is doomed to fall off the tracks at some point. It’s like you know a train wreck is coming but you just can’t look away. Each is one is a beautiful disaster. Except the Wall Street episode. That one was just a disaster. On the flip side, I listened to it on a day that I had a migraine and would you believe the migraine wasn’t the worst part of my day. But other than that, these have all been amazing. Sincerest thanks to Nate, Aaron and Boogie Nights.
I discovered this podcast after watching both Netflix specials, started at 1 a couple of weeks ago, and got all caught up while painting all the trim and cabinets in my house white. I have a PhD in literacy and Nate, you don’t have dyslexia, Bort, you look like Caillou and no one has mentioned that yet, and Aaron, the education you received at Notre Dame is the reason I am no longer in education.
For Aaron, if you want a good groomsman gift you could always do a toilet plunger with their initials and wedding date on it. That way they are reminded of all the money that went down the toilet on the tux they had to buy for your stupid wedding.
This renaissance episode was great guys. I'm not sure how the you tube algorithm works, but I was watching some of Brian Bates' "comedy" and an ad for depends undergarments came on in the middle.
Loved the cast, always do. Two things I must say, first Nate asked about when the Shredder artist appeared, and you mentioned him earlier, Banks is clearly The Shredder, since he shredded one of his works at an auction. And Barkley, you said Da Vinci invented the helicopter, he theorized it, but considering it didn’t become a reality until about 300 years after he died, I don’t think you can say he invented it
In response to this week's comment about groomsmen and wedding etiquette, I have a related story. I recently turned down an invitation to a wedding. My excuse was that work was just too busy and I couldn't figure out how to make the trip. But the groom had an unbelievable response. He said "Well, that will always be a problem forever. Are you never going to another wedding again? When will you not have work?" I was a little shook because that's a great point. Luckily, we were on the phone so I was able to make something up and get out of the conversation. But I think that if we were talking in person he would have had me cornered and I would have had to agree to go to the wedding. What do you guys think about this conversation? Love the podcast, keep it up!
Seeing you guys talk about The Renaissance period gives me a pretty good idea what it would look like if prisoners sentenced from the 40s had to talk about cellphones and remote controls.
I just waiting for the next episode of the Nateland podcast to be about roads, like what’s the difference between a highway and interstate and when does a highway stop being a interstate and when does start being a highway again? Big brain questions here.
Why does Hawaii have an Interstate Highway?

I would love to see a "Drunk History" style re-enactment of these events from the Nateland guys.
a singing bass (the fish)...that's what Aaron's groomsmen would love to get as a gift ...
I love how Nate made sure to announce the "pre recorded episode" but the quality was exactly the same. I feel like if you take time to announce something like that you should throw a couple fancy transitions or something in there, or at least edit out the nose whistle and Aaron's heavy exhale eveytime he shifts his weight in the chair...but glad it didn't change too much because it's great. Look forward to every Wednesday.
Could we please get some history lessons on each sport? Only rule is Bat Boy has to only use Wikipedia for his research.
Man, I really thought Busta Rhymes would have some of his trademarked depressing event fun facts in this episode. Glad to see he’s in a better mood! Love the show y’all are the best!
I was under the impression that it was the Pope who asked Michelangelo how long it was going to take for the ceiling to be completed...and he asked him many times - over and over again.
The streisand effect part is insanely funny
Great show as always, soooo funny!!
CONSPIRACY THEORY: This podcast is starting to feel like Bed Bug and Aaron were hired by Nate’s wife to tutor him on remedial subjects. Every time Nate try’s to riff on something and add humor, the guys are quick to get him back on track. It’s almost as if Laura is sending them threatening messages to remind them that they get payed by the hour. Meanwhile, Nate and the audience are unaware. They have even toyed with us by making Nate do an episode on Conspiracy Theories.... are we all just pawns in Laura’s elaborate scheme to educate her husband enough that she can have a half intellectual conversation with him? Are Breakfast and Aaron in on it? Is Breakfast even his real name? Find out next week on NATELAND!!
This will be confirmed when they cover remedial math concepts on a future episode simply titled, "Math."
Great job, folks. Excellent episode.
This has got to be one of the best episodes ever, listening to the three stooges break down the Last Supper painting is prieceless LMAO!
Here’s a tip on using wikipedia for research from a former adjunct instructor...Look at the page for a general idea of a subject. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and look at the linked articles. Read those and cite them instead of Wikipedia.
Love your podcast Nate 💙
Here's a simple slacker Wikipedia hack. Don't cite Wikipedia, go to the bottom of the wiki page and look at the references, then cite directly to those.
Watched an older episode today, had totally forgotten about the orange hands.
We need some sort of alert or drop when Brian is about to bomb, because his cowabunga jokes jolted me into shock.
What's that on his middle finger? I just ruined a keyboard with Diet Mountain Dew.
Attended my son's college graduation from the University of Texas last weekend. Most major universities have a LOT of international students these days, and there are plenty of really difficult names to pronounce. I would pay good money to listen to Nate read the names at a college graduation as the graduates walk across stage!
I could listen to them all day! 😂😂😂
Hello folks! Love this show! Thank you Nate, Aaron, and Butterfinger for the laughs every week! I enjoy the constant and incessant jabs at each other. Turr Lerr is missing out! What is yall’s favorite Seinfeld episode? I love the one where Kramer gets a line in the Woody Allen movie. Classic! Keep up the good work friends.
This is such a fascinating podcast.
Hello folks. Love the podcast. The first episode I watched was the Wild West episode where Easy Breezy Beautiful’s nostrils stole the show by whispering sweet nothings into the microphone. Keep up the great work
I was surprised to see the NY Times crossword puzzle clue today for 60 across was a four letter word for stand up comedian Bargatze.....they obviously haven’t forgotten you up there in NYC....still quite a shock to see your name as a clue to something from the puzzle masters at the NY times crossword. They surely must know there is no chance you could finish the crossword after writing in N-A-T-E..... ;-)))))
I went to the one of the New England Boarding Schools that Harry Potter was based off of (Phillips Exeter, St. Paul's, etc.). One of the things she takes most blatantly is the Gryffindor / Slytherin / Ravenclaw / etc. Our sorting hat was not as theatrical (probably an excel sheet). But if a relative of yours was in a house as an alumni, you'd also be in that house. We also didn't get points for our house from saving the world. It was often from achievements in athletics / academics. Our school was also where the namesake of Ian Fleming's James Bond books went to high school (meaning the original James Bond was originally from NEW England). (there was also a Harry Potter but there is no evidence that he was the namesake).

I did a project on Amerigo Vespucci back in elementary school. From what I remember America is named after him because he is the one to realize that the Americas were a whole new continent and not just India, like Columbus thought. That's also why we have referred to Native Americans as "Indians" because Chris didn't know where he was. It's a fun fact but... ya know... people are listening...
Odds on favourite to “QUITE” Nateland.. good job naming the segments, Breastmilk Bates.
Pocket watch - aaron - something to try for grooms man that they wouldn't normally buy themselves.
I live in Ft. Wayne and Johnny Appleseed is buried here. You can visit his grave to this day. I hope he's not a myth, because if he is then we have no idea who's buried in that grave.
Holy cow, that IS mr Tumnus at the last supper!! Too funny. Maybe that’s where C.S. Lewis got the idea for him.
I saw Screech from Saved by the Bell. :)
You guys ever gonna have Aaron’s friend Citrus on the podcast? I think he would bring some pretty interesting opinions to the conversation. At a minimum, he would likely terrify Burly Buckets.
Johnny Appleseed was real! Haha, I love this podcast so much.
All of you are obviously intelligent. Comedy requires an ability to critically think about things and find a unique perspective while also being relatable. But golly, Aaron is only mildly more intelligent than Nate and BB-8.
I took a tour of the Sistine Chapel about a year and a half ago. They also mentioned that pope the told Michelangelo to hurry up, so he painted a bare butt on the Sun and Moon section, which is right above where the pope stood during mass. Not sure if this is the origin of "mooning" someone, but it seems like it could be.
I’m 45 minutes in, and Bald Eagle has already said “we talked about that in another episode” twice. I figured you guys would run out of stuff to talk about eventually, but I guess I gave you too much credit for expecting it to take longer than 45 episodes
You should do a short behind the scenes video or how its made
