I want to make a video compilation of all the amazing jokes that Dusty casually makes that get completely swept under the rug. It's literally once an episode. He's gotta be the best free agent signing in podcast history. O.J might not be a killer, but Dusty totally slays!
I couldn’t stop laughing at “your wife’s a ho” 🤣🤣 Dusty was just trying to protect his dad’s feelings. Nate’s like “glad you got that off your chest before your visit.” 😂
UNBELIEVABLE episode! It’s almost like regardless of which timestamp you go to throughout the entire podcast they are still talking about humans vs. ants.
The guys put more serious thought into the ants versus humans debate than I ever have into any college term paper or major life decision, and I am HERE FOR IT! Keep up the great work!
27:07 Dusty with the best joke of the episode about OJ playing golf when he said, “Strugglin’ to get the glove on” and no one acknowledged it. Hilarious! 😀
Just hearing Dusty talk about trusting the government and his house being just fine against any insects, I can't stop seeing the parallels between him and Dale from King of the Hill. Making Dusty a regular feature of this show has really added a level of sophistication. 👌
Last week, I was staying in a hotel with my family. We went to the lobby for breakfast and low and behold, next to the waffle iron was two dispensers, one for batter and the other for syrup. I was working with my wife to keep the kids under control and get the waffles made. With all the distractions, I nearly poured the syrup right in there. Had it not been for the story about Bates, we would have had a catastrophe. You're saving lives, gentlemen. This truly is an educational podcast
Hi there my folk friends! I’ve been an avid fan of the pod over the past two years caring for my elderly parents who were on hospice. You brought many chuckles and smiles during a challenging time. Since their passing I have returned to work & have you as constant companions during my hour commute to my night shift nursing job in the NICU taking care of our tiny wee “folks”! ( At the hospital Dusty told me he was born at🙂). Thank you for being such precious joy-makers❤️. Yvonne Willis, RN- Montgomery
I can't put into words what your podcast means to me. Being a pastor In California is a wonderful yet highly stressful calling, I'm grateful I have you guys to ease my mind and make me feel like a regular guy when the day is done. You're doing the Lords work I tell ya... You guys should be a prescribed medication 😊
I can’t wait to listen to this episode. 😂. I have a Ph.D. in Medical and Veterinary Entomology so it should be amazing to hear what the crew have to say about my beloved insects lol. Update: After listening to the episode I was not disappointed. There were too many things for me to comment about but overall I just enjoyed y’all highlighting insects and arthropods
When I was little, my dad told me that Horse Flies bend their knees and snap them quickly to thump you. Never using an ounce of critical thinking, I believed it up until more recently than I'd like to admit. Luckily I don't think I ever voiced this belief in a conversation about horse flies, but one day I was walking at a summer camp and saw one land on my shoulder. I stopped in my tracks and looked at him for a good 10 seconds before I finally processed the fact that they bite; they don't thump.
The conversation of ants vs. humans was hysterical. As a middle school teacher it is also something I will be asking in class to stimulate conversation with my students. Thanks for the idea prompt guys!
Just watched Hello World. WOW, Amazing Nate! I was busting a gut the whole way through. I'm a little younger than Nate but can relate to so many parts of his life. It is in my top 3 favorites now. God bless Nate and the funniest comedy that just so happens to be family friendly, along with the Nateland Podcast team. You guys are fantastic.
I have been incessantly scratching myself the entire episode while imagining a million invisible ants plotting my murder. Can't wait for sleep tonight! Thanks Nateland!
I met Derek at a formal for Trevecca on a boat tour in Nashville. He was dating a friend of mine. The next time I met up with my friend, they had broken up and I heard all bad things about him. The next time I met Derek was at their wedding. They worked it out. Glad Celesta got over it because they have some beautiful kids and she seems really happy now. Love the podcast. Keep it up
"Do insects have hearts?" Is the reason I listen to this podcast. These guys are the absolute best! The ants vs. humans conversation was the funniest thing discussed on this show. This may be the best episode EVER!
I swear, I would pay a quadrillion dollars to be in the room while they are having one of their conversations. Just listening to the “Great Ant Debate” had my crying laughing so hard I could not breathe. 😂😂😂😂
As Aaron explains that Pluto hasn’t made a full rotation around the sun and Nat says “cause it’s slow and dumb” 20:37 had me laughing so hard I had to rewind to listen to the rest of the explanation no one noticed or was phased but I couldn’t stop laughing keep it up Nate keep bringing the heat even when no one notices
Finding out that the old radio commentators used to slap a pencil on their desk whenever baseball players would hit the ball is the best little tid bit I’ve ever heard!
Derek pretending to be Nate said he is angry about the state of America when Brian asked what he is angry about. Later, Nate goes on to say our country is a mess and ants are more loyal. Derek nailed it
I was here since episode 1, took a hiatus around episode 30, and then came back and binged every episode since. Dusty is a wonderful addition. My girlfriend and I will be going to see him in Portland! Which is 4.5 hours from us in northwest Washington, can't wait! Also, now that I'm caught up, life seems to have a little less meaning lol Best pod out there! Sivy
Nate got the correct answer the wrong way. At some point he said it would take 5000 ants to cover your shoe and in reality that number is more like 100. Some math and facts: A generic ant is 1/8 of an inch tall, which is 0.3 centimeters. The average human is 66 inches tall, which is 167.6 centimeters. So if you divide the size of a human in centimeters by the size of an ant in centimeters, a human is roughly 558.666667 the size of an average black ant. Account for surface area and maybe multiply that number by 2-3 heck even 10 and it's still only a few thousand ants at most to cover an entire human body. Additionally, one of the most painful bites a human can experience is a bullet ant. It can cause nerve damage at the site of the bite. Finally, like Aaron mentioned, some people have allergies to ants. Apprx 30 people a year die in the US alone from fire ants (the existing dumb version). The ants would absolutely destroy us and it's laughably one-sided. The only hope would be as Dusty and Aaron described in that maybe the ants would turn against themselves. But honestly I think that would just eliminate the weaker ants and with their reproductive cycles we'd just be facing an upgraded army of super ants in a matter of a month. So still RIP human race.
I almost died. Since I was home sick from work today I thought watching Nate's new special would make me feel better. I was laughing and coughing so much at the same time when he was talking about golf that I blacked out from lack of oxygen. Totally worth it.
“Grand daddy long legs” must be southern thing. I’m from northeast and never heard that before- we say “daddy long legs”. I think I prefer granddaddylonglegs lol
The discussion about celebrity golf and Nate's past joke regarding being the "celebrity" for celebrity golf reminded me of something I encountered this summer. My husband's name is Nolan Ryan. This past summer my mom had booked a Motel in a small town in Montana for my husband and me because we were attending my brother's wedding. I was calling to check about check in times, office hours, etc. since it was a mom and pop type place. When I called the front desk, a very friendly man probably in his 50s-60s answered the phone. He asked me the name the reservation was made under and I said probably my husband, "Nolan Ryan". There was a very long pause on the phone, before I could let the man get his hopes up any longer I finally stated "Not that Nolan Ryan". He was completely deflated, but he tried to cover it up by saying, "well maybe someday". And all I could say was, 'yeah, he (meaning my husband) gets that a lot'.
Nate's strongest episode in a while, he actually engaged the topic rather than adopting his usual "is this over yet" slacker-at-the-back-of-the-class attitude.
Hello bear, hey folks. I want to start by saying that I created a Twitter profile specifically to get a comment through to y'all and couldn't figure it out. I'm 32 years old with the technology savvy of Big Brain Bates. Anyway love all of you, love the podcast, and I can't wait to see Nate April 4th in my hometown of Youngstown Ohio. It'll be in the top 3 shows I've seen in my hometown, which includes the band Lamb of God and Weird Al Yankovich. Anyway I just had to let Dusty know that I heard his joke about OJ not being able to put on a golf glove. I had a good chuckle Dusty. Keep up the funny!!
I did some math. Ants weigh on average 1 to 5 mg meaning it would take 27,215,520 ants (3mg) on average to make up the weight of an average human (180lbs). That's far more than 2.5 million, but ants can also coordinate at some pretty sophisticated levels. Combine the human intelligence, ants' innate ability to coordinate, and the fact that they can already lift up to 20 times their own body weight you're looking at a mass that can lift up to 3,600lbs per human equivalent. So the question becomes: Can 735 million human sized ant masses, that can lift 3,600lbs each, defeat 8 billion humans, the most elite of whom can lift 1,200lbs? Assuming an average human can carry their own weight we can carry a total of around 1.4 trillion pounds whereas ants can carry a total of 2.6 trillion pounds. Plus, they all bite and some of them are venomous. Ants win.
When they were talking about the bug pit, I was picturing Dusty imposed into a ton of intense movie scenes spraying for bugs in the background and apologizing for getting in the way.
Hey, Bear. My wife and I were at the filming. I said this on the way out, and said it again after watching the special. I'm not a comedian, and don't pretend to be, but I believe you missed the easiest callback in comedy history at the end when you were inexplicably talking about front doors for a second time during your special. If those guys had walked off with a... Wait for it... sliding glass door, the place would've erupted. Breakfast, please pass this along... People helping people. Nateland forever.
Aaron is completely wrong about ants not getting to an island. There are already ants that link together to make a raft. They don't need to learn it again.
the ants vs humans conversation epitomizes what this podcast is all about. a couple of thoughts to add to the discussion - humans using powerful vacuums which lead to some type of furnace to incinerate the ants?? also, ants are so lightweight that they float on water.. giving them the option to create body bridges to reach us wherever we try to hide.
Easy answer to the ant vs human question: - If the percentage of the ant's size in relation to a human's size is less than the percentage of the quantity of ants vs the quantity of humans, we would be in trouble.
Hey, Blood Blister- couple of things. Can you please clear this up for everyone. When Dusty said “Your wife is a Ho.” I don’t think he was talking about his step mom. I think he was trying to say that his father is implying that about HIS wife when he makes comments about “You don’t know what happens when you aren’t here.” Am I right, Dust Flap? Also- throw back to dinosaurs…. My son told me that wings are made from hollow bones that usually break down before they can fossilize. For this reason, some researchers suggest that ALL dinosaurs had feathers and wings (aka- Dragons)
When my students tell me they can’t come up with more analysis for their argumentative essays, I’m going to refer them to this 2-hour discussion on man versus ants. That’ll teach them. Also, “they would find the right supplements” is killer.
Hello folks, I’m a huge fan of the podcast and have been with you guys since episode 3 came up in my feed many moons ago. I heard you guys mention Pluto and Goofy and it reminded me of this: Goofy - wears clothes, walks on two legs, talks, drives a car and lives in his own house Pluto- lives tied up behind Mickey’s house, eats from a bowl with his name on it and barks However they are both dogs and appear to even be the same breed. Thank you for all the laughs, -Lee
I understand what Aaron means about the ant lifespan. Let's say this war goes on beyond the average lifespan of an ant. Who would go to fight a war knowing before they ever left that the absolute best case scenario is they die a week later. And that's not even considering the fact that the ants would have morals and ethics now and may feel differently about sending their children off to war.
You have to take the ant debate to its worst case scenario. 3 or 4 bites from Bullet ants would cause incapacitating pain and the ability to fight back would be out of the equation. Even with Fire ants, enough bites would have a high chance of inducing a histamine reaction to the venom possibly leading to asphyxiation and death. I’ve thought about this a lot and I’m not even sure why.
Dusty asked why we never heard of 440,000 people killed by infected fleas. I think it's because they're were SO many tragic stories like this during WW2 and the enormity of 55,000,000 dead that it just gets buried in history.
There's a lot of deadly insects in this episode, but you don't touch on the ancient Persian method of punishment called "The Boats." The person being punished would be trapped between two boats with their arms and legs exposed in a swamp. They were force-fed milk and honey daily until they were eaten by bugs. Sometimes the bugs would even nest inside them. It's worth looking up. I'll go proofread this now.
Hey Bear! My wife and I will be coming to Nashville to see Nate at Bridgestone arena! Would love some suggestions of of other things to do there as we are planning to make a long weekend out of it! Love the show! - Andrew, Woodstock Ga
Poor country kids had to use whatever they had to entertain themselves. We flew June bugs on a string and lit full ticks up with matches to watch them explode when their blood boiled. Fun times.
Like Nate I had a hard time getting into Ozark as well and actually stopped after the first season I did not go back for several years. Another one was Better Call Saul. I did the same thing trying to watch the first season but could not get into it it came back a few years later and watch them all.
If Nate did get to hang with Jason Bateman & Will Arnett in Pebble Beach, maybe he finagled a spot on their podcast Smartless?! (My second favorite pod- after Nateland, of course!)
Dusty's comment about OJ struggling to get his glove on was so underrated!
Down right criminal that no one laughed.
For sure, and Breakfast had a cow “aunt” joke that got missed, too.
Absolutely!
Timestamp?

Dusty is low-key genius
He's so brilliant and quick!
I have a friend named David Brooks in Des Moines. IS IT YOU??!! Are you the same 50-ish year old loud, fat guy??!!
💯, Right on. Dusty is amazing and sealed the deal for me on listening to the podcast
Get started bud
I couldn’t stop laughing at “your wife’s a ho” 🤣🤣 Dusty was just trying to protect his dad’s feelings.
Nate’s like “glad you got that off your chest before your visit.” 😂
Dusty finishes the OJ golf conversation with "He's struggling to get his glove on." and it basically goes unnoticed. Classic!
i was so bummed that went unacknowledged lol.
Derek deserves his own episode. Who’s with me?
I would love to hear childhood stories of Nate and his siblings. Abigail too!!
'Brothers'
UNBELIEVABLE episode! It’s almost like regardless of which timestamp you go to throughout the entire podcast they are still talking about humans vs. ants.
Should've just named the sode that honestly lol
"Visual gag" and "too close to home", Aaron has been KILLING it lately with the online oneliners lately!
The ant discussion has me more afraid of ants than bears now. My whole family is walking around the yard saying “hey ant”
YESSS hahahaha
Nate: Spends 10 minutes discussing if ants could take over the world.
Also Nate: Don’t waste my time on stupid debates like wheels vs doors.
The guys put more serious thought into the ants versus humans debate than I ever have into any college term paper or major life decision, and I am HERE FOR IT! Keep up the great work!
Derek has Nate’s exact posture and body language
He is a very confident sitter haha
And his laugh!
I wasn't on board with humans winning the ant war until Dusty brought up training anteaters to fight on our side
27:07 Dusty with the best joke of the episode about OJ playing golf when he said, “Strugglin’ to get the glove on” and no one acknowledged it. Hilarious! 😀
I can't find it at the timestamp
Awe Dusty... I cracked up and didn't miss your OJ struggling to get the glove on comment. Burst out laughing while queuing to buy my lunch. Thanks
Same. I lost it at Walmart and had to playback.
Just hearing Dusty talk about trusting the government and his house being just fine against any insects, I can't stop seeing the parallels between him and Dale from King of the Hill. Making Dusty a regular feature of this show has really added a level of sophistication. 👌
Surely this is the one that knocks us out of the educational podcast classification.
Nate you murdered on the Tonight Show.You did stand up sitting down.You gained alot of fans that night.
Hope Dusty has a nice trip with his wife to Alabama. Seeing all his family in “One fell swoop”
Last week, I was staying in a hotel with my family. We went to the lobby for breakfast and low and behold, next to the waffle iron was two dispensers, one for batter and the other for syrup.
I was working with my wife to keep the kids under control and get the waffles made. With all the distractions, I nearly poured the syrup right in there. Had it not been for the story about Bates, we would have had a catastrophe. You're saving lives, gentlemen. This truly is an educational podcast
Hi there my folk friends! I’ve been an avid fan of the pod over the past two years caring for my elderly parents who were on hospice. You brought many chuckles and smiles during a challenging time.

You guys should be a prescribed medication 😊
Wednesday used to just be "garbage day" but now it's NATELAND day and I for one, am really happy with this change.
This podcast is consistently funny, but this episode might be in the top 10 funniest episodes yet.
Really liked the story about your dad’s journey to faith. Thanks for sharing. You guys are just such a wholesome bunch!
I can’t wait to listen to this episode. 😂. I have a Ph.D. in Medical and Veterinary Entomology so it should be amazing to hear what the crew have to say about my beloved insects lol.
Update: After listening to the episode I was not disappointed. There were too many things for me to comment about but overall I just enjoyed y’all highlighting insects and arthropods
Charles Barkley would be an awesome golf partner

I've gotten quite a few Jeopardy questions right due to things I've learned on Nateland. It's definitely an educational podcast.
I’m going to see Dusty this weekend in Grand Rapids and i can’t wait!!!
Man, The Nate Bargatze Hello World is gonna End the first month of 2023 with a banger. LET'S GO FOLKS!
I love listening to baseball on the radio! I'm biased though because I'm a Cubs fan and our broadcasting team is amazing
Hello Folks and Hey Bear
The conversation of ants vs. humans was hysterical. As a middle school teacher it is also something I will be asking in class to stimulate conversation with my students. Thanks for the idea prompt guys!
Just watched Hello World.
WOW, Amazing Nate!
I was busting a gut the whole way through.
I'm a little younger than Nate but can relate to so many parts of his life.
It is in my top 3 favorites now.
God bless Nate and the funniest comedy that just so happens to be family friendly, along with the Nateland Podcast team. You guys are fantastic.
Loving the in depth musings on ants vs humans. Thanks for answering the tough questions guys
Butter Brickle was perfectly reasonable to think the reptile looking scorpion was in the reptile category.
"Ants with Ego's" that's a great band name!! 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜
i definitely thought that Nate’s brother was Nate with a stressed voice from touring. i thought, “Man, Nate’s been hittin it hard!”
I just thought the wisdom teeth removal had taken some kind of wrong turn.
I have been incessantly scratching myself the entire episode while imagining a million invisible ants plotting my murder. Can't wait for sleep tonight! Thanks Nateland!
Ronny’s Boy sounds like the name of a champion racehorse
It also sounds like a restaurant name.
My dream golf group would be the entire cast of Nateland and my dad.
So many laughs.

If 2 and a half million ants come into my home, I'm telling my husband, "boil my kettle dear".
I think Barry Sanders could juke 2.5 million ants… Also I’m pretty sure Breakfast would be Team Ant
Wrestling Mt. Rushmore has to include The Undertaker. He's like the Tom Brady of Wrestling but The Undertaker actually contributed to his sport.
Loved seeing you on the Tonight Show Nate ❤
Aaron's lookin good in that Angels jersey!!! My favorite team
The discussion about celebrity golf and Nate's past joke regarding being the "celebrity" for celebrity golf reminded me of something I encountered this summer. My husband's name is Nolan Ryan. This past summer my mom had booked a Motel in a small town in Montana for my husband and me because we were attending my brother's wedding. I was calling to check about check in times, office hours, etc. since it was a mom and pop type place. When I called the front desk, a very friendly man probably in his 50s-60s answered the phone. He asked me the name the reservation was made under and I said probably my husband, "Nolan Ryan". There was a very long pause on the phone, before I could let the man get his hopes up any longer I finally stated "Not that Nolan Ryan". He was completely deflated, but he tried to cover it up by saying, "well maybe someday". And all I could say was, 'yeah, he (meaning my husband) gets that a lot'.
If there's a bug prison in your town, you're probably going in it haha
When they first showed the quiz I just assumed the kid was a TB12 hater and chose him on purpose. 🤣
Nate's strongest episode in a while, he actually engaged the topic rather than adopting his usual "is this over yet" slacker-at-the-back-of-the-class attitude.
“It’s tough to sweep the shag” 😂😂😂 let’s make this a number sticker

This was a very Natelandy Nateland.
Ironically, I just watched an ant bridge video after a recent Rogan podcast. You are exactly right, Dusty.
This man Dusty brought up Anteaters 😂😂😂😂

Hello folks, I’m a huge fan of the podcast and have been with you guys since episode 3 came up in my feed many moons ago. I heard you guys mention Pluto and Goofy and it reminded me of this:
Goofy - wears clothes, walks on two legs, talks, drives a car and lives in his own house
Pluto- lives tied up behind Mickey’s house, eats from a bowl with his name on it and barks
However they are both dogs and appear to even be the same breed.
Thank you for all the laughs,

I understand what Aaron means about the ant lifespan. Let's say this war goes on beyond the average lifespan of an ant. Who would go to fight a war knowing before they ever left that the absolute best case scenario is they die a week later. And that's not even considering the fact that the ants would have morals and ethics now and may feel differently about sending their children off to war.
In the Great Ant War, which side will Paul Rudd be on?
LMAO🤣 I was like ,"Is it that hat?" Lol
You have to take the ant debate to its worst case scenario. 3 or 4 bites from Bullet ants would cause incapacitating pain and the ability to fight back would be out of the equation. Even with Fire ants, enough bites would have a high chance of inducing a histamine reaction to the venom possibly leading to asphyxiation and death. I’ve thought about this a lot and I’m not even sure why.
This episode should be called ANTS 😂
Dusty asked why we never heard of 440,000 people killed by infected fleas. I think it's because they're were SO many tragic stories like this during WW2 and the enormity of 55,000,000 dead that it just gets buried in history.
"I didn't listen to the Beatles." HAHA!
There's a lot of deadly insects in this episode, but you don't touch on the ancient Persian method of punishment called "The Boats."
The person being punished would be trapped between two boats with their arms and legs exposed in a swamp. They were force-fed milk and honey daily until they were eaten by bugs. Sometimes the bugs would even nest inside them. It's worth looking up.
I'll go proofread this now.
A coordinated sneak attack on food resources and electrical systems would give the ants a huge overnight advantage…
Hey Bear! My wife and I will be coming to Nashville to see Nate at Bridgestone arena! Would love some suggestions of of other things to do there as we are planning to make a long weekend out of it! Love the show! - Andrew, Woodstock Ga
Poor country kids had to use whatever they had to entertain themselves.
We flew June bugs on a string and lit full ticks up with matches to watch them explode when their blood boiled.
Fun times.
We are itching to cover this on Folkland tomorrow!
I gotta wonder if half the people writing letters in to the show, are making up names to hear Nate try to pronounce them?!! Lol! 😂
Like Nate I had a hard time getting into Ozark as well and actually stopped after the first season I did not go back for several years.
Another one was Better Call Saul. I did the same thing trying to watch the first season but could not get into it it came back a few years later and watch them all.
Golf 4some... can't remove Tiger and MmmJaaayyyyyy but I'd add Tony Romo. Hilarious athlete with multiple golf tournament victories.
If Nate did get to hang with Jason Bateman & Will Arnett in Pebble Beach, maybe he finagled a spot on their podcast Smartless?! (My second favorite pod- after Nateland, of course!)
