There is no better ad reader in the business than Mr Dusty Slay. I like listening to him while watching Aaron's face. I think Aaron enjoys the ad reads more than any of us.
I like how every other mattress ad is like, "You spend 1/3 of your life in bed, make it comfy" and Nateland's big selling point every week is, "It's fun when you open it."
The first 12 mins of this episode might be my favorite chunk of this show ever. The shuttle scientist, space station, camping “supply” store talk had me full on belly laughing like Santa Claus. That is what makes this podcast so great is conversations like that. Just 4 guys having a great time. Keep it up fellas!
Nate is a great example of the saying “a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle” I heard Dusty talking about his flourishing career on “We’re Having a Good Time” and he gave credit to The Nateland Podcast (which is how I discovered him), Netflix, and Tik Tok. I have seen Brian a few times before but him being on the Podcast has increased my fandom for him too. The jury is still out on Aaron for me 😂
1:52:30 The statue of David that’s outdoors is a replica. The replica is on the original site, but the actual statue carved by Michelangelo is in the Accademia Museum to protect it from the elements
I feel like when Aaron said he wouldn't hold a possum it was because it was evil looking, but when Dusty agreed it felt like there was definitely some specific experience with a possum he was remembering.
listen, i’ve never felt something more than the disgust in aaron’s voice about the opossum. i am legit terrified of them. so much so that one time i was sitting in a car with some friends before we took off and an opossum appeared around the corner (outside of the locked car i was in) and i screamed and grabbed my friends arm so tightly he had to physically remove my hand and was like “that’s…a bruise”
@@jessicaallen2955 but they're so timid! Their only defenses are hissing and playing dead. They're soft and cuddly and make funny, cute noises when they eat. They help get rid of all those nasty ticks in the woods too.
The graduation video is SO funny! I was shaking laughing trying not to wake my sleeping baby. Also love that Nate’s slurry Dusty “Berry Sanders” bit made an appearance. One of the funniest Nateland moments, hands down 😂
I find myself routinely saying "daggummit" throughout my day now thanks to listening to the podcast. And I laugh to myself every time I catch myself doing it. Thank you for the extra daggum laughs, Nate & Co.
I thought I left a pretty good comment last week, until sitting through four other comments in a row written by people named Scott, none of which were mine. The competition in these parts is stiff! Love it. Keep up the good work, folks.
Bisquick: “But am I right that we could not go to the moon right now in the United States if we wanted to?” Dusty, without even letting him finish: “Yes.” Listening to the year in review podcast that had parts without Dusty just felt wrong. He’s a natural addition. Love it! Keep it up fellas!
Nate- "you shouldn't get to say you are it, other people should say it" Also Nate - "I'm the Greatest Average American". This is why I tune in every week. I can't get enough. :)
as of late I say “that’s wild” after nearly everything I say. i’ve noticed it slowly start to infiltrate my daily speech and have been wondering where it came from. Nate. It came from Nate and listening to this podcast all the time. My cousin and i both listen to this podcast weekly and text each other our favorite parts and how much we love it. when i text him about this he responded with “but does Nate say “wild” or Aaron say “that’s fair more” 😂
Brian, candy and ice cream are so important to camping. We take our grandson and he's more interested in what's at the camp store than anything around the camp site. Equipment means different things to different people. :)
I love when people ask questions about stand up and I love the answers you give. So here’s mine. Why do specials not show the opening act, even just a quick couple of minutes or so? Why do we need it in person and not in our living room?
The openers aren't included because the entire night of comedy isn't the special, it's the portion of material by one specific comic. It's self promotion - no one wants someone to watch their special and go, "man, I wish I could have seen an hour from that first guy instead." Taking someone on the road is how you support comics that aren't as well known or popular, not highlighting them on your special. Also, the comics are usually the ones putting up the money for it all. It would get too complicated to have to each put a % in and also split the profits up based on time. Things are most often funnier and more enjoyable in person, and there's a certain energy being in a room full of laughing people that you really can't replicate in your living room alone. At least, that has been my experience at comedy shows. Same for the comic - they can't eliminate material that just doesn't hit right when they don't have a real time, real life reaction to it. It's important to show up and support the comic -the special/show is their moment, and they feed off of the IRL energy. Some wouldn't be half as good as they are if they were just talking to a camera. For both comic and fan, the in person experience is what it's all about. (I know you weren't asking me, sorry if this reply was unwarranted)
The conversation about how many syllables in the word Brian was absolutely hilarious. It reminds me of every time I hear Dusty say the word "And". I try to count the syllables in that he includes in that word. I know there's at least two possibly three. Seems to add extra letters in there I think there's a "Y" and possibly a "U" in there. It might just be the most country anybody has ever sounded in the history of sounding southern. I just love hearing him say the word.
Nate, Brian, Aaron, and Dusty, you are the rare gems in this world. Truly a God’s blessing. The definition of a “real man”. You strive to make us laugh and make every effort to live a pure and humble life. That is not an easy task in this world filled with temptations. God bless you and thank you for the men y’all are. Extraordinary talent!!!!
This episode reminds me of the quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “architecture is frozen music”. I believe a comedian is an artist. It takes a lot to get up there and put pieces together to create a finished product. Just like a painting, a comedian can be amazing to one person, but, another person may not “get it” or see what you see. I can relate to Nate on how we grew up (i’m right behind him, born in March 1980) so a lot of his comedy brings both laughter and nostalgia, whereas someone else will feel absolutely nothing. Architecture, music, paintings etc. all mean different things to different people and bring out a mix of feelings and emotions, just like comedy. PS, I loved to paint and draw when i was younger, i still paint on occasion. I also create macrame that I sell. Sometimes i try different designs/colors, some i’ve hated and wanted to toss in the trash, those particular pieces have sold faster than others, go figure. Keep doing what you’re doing, you are all loved!
I thought I'd watch this episode on art to inspire me while I paint something for the walls of my new home. After an hour of the crew talking about how bad most art is and how most things shouldn't be considered art, I learned the valuable lesson of finding inspiration within myself to motivate me! Love you guys nonetheless!
New listener here. Nate showed up in my TH-cam suggestions I guess because I like clean comedy. Dove into Bargatze world online and now I’m #1 fan. Catching up on old episodes and I just have to say Brian Bates is the sweetest most humble man ever. He announces to the whole wide world he has low T and next thing you know BAM! Impregnates a 46 year old woman at the age of 48!!! Brian you are the most macho, manly man on this show!! I’m coming to see Nate this week in Saginaw, MI so please read my comment. Love all you guys and I’ll be coming to see you all when you come to my area.
My favorite Banksy story is from the show The Outsiders. The characters are rehabbing a community center filled with graffiti. During filming of the show somebody had connections to Banksy and had him paint a small mural of a rat. Frank, Christopher Walken's character, is seen asking his probation officer if he should cover-up the artwork after being told to paint over the graffiti on the wall. However, she is facing the other way, unaware it's a Banksy painting, meaning Frank runs his roller over the rat. So this infamous painting only existed physically for less than a day and now only lives within the world of the show.
The Cysteine Chapel portion of this podcast had me in tears from laughing so hard. I feel as if Brian could almost have an alter ego. (although I cannot say for sure which one would be the "main ego"). We have "Bri-an Bates" the self proclaimed professional movie critic and "Brine Bates", the backwoods tourist who simply exclaims "gawwwwwwly, look at all this"! when first entering the Cysteine chapel. You guys all bring something so great to this podcast, I get sad when someone is absent for the week. Thanks for all the much needed laughs!
Wow, by saying this is pre-recorded, they weren't kidding. All this talking about we can't make it to the moon yet NASA launched a HUGE moon rocket, circled the Moon and returned to Earth _last year!_
Dusty will ignore this like all of the other mountains of evidence that perfectly demonstrate the shape of the Earth. It's kinda sad, really. The Sun rises and sets. A toddler can comprehend that we live on a 3 dimensional object.
i think it’s hilarious that there was a huge debate on if the greeting to open the podcast should be “hello folks” or “let’s go folks”. and now nate starts each week with two greetings anyway🤣
I can't even remember the last time I've actually listened to Dusty read an ad. I find myself watching Aaron watching Dusty. Then he started mouthing the words and I lost it. Literal tears at work. Love the show. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!
I love and appreciate how this podcast is entertaining and hilarious, yet never crass or vulgar. I can actually listen to it with my young kids around. Thanks guys!
Thanks for the indirect shout-out at 25:08 to whoever made the graduation animation. I'm glad that person realized that I was Bigfoot and Chewbacca's long lost lovechild.
Hey guys - love you all! Cannot wait for Brain & Dusty to come to NJ. I just saw Aaron last week, with Joe. Aaron killed, he is so funny!! I just wanted to share my advice on here for anyone worried about coming to see any shows after listening to the podcast; I listen to another comedian's podcast and see them often and I will be honest I don't enjoy their specials / shows as much because a lot is from the pod. With this podcast however I do not have that concern, I have seen Nate since the pod began and he is just as funny as pre-pod and Aaron told one joke that he mentioned on the pod but elaborated more in person and it killed. I will definitely continue watching the podcast and look forward to anyone coming to NJ!!
On the topic of syllables, I've gotten in multiple disagreements with friends and family with southern accents who say both "fire" and "oil" are one syllable a piece. Despite being born and raised in Montgomery, AL, I say each of them have 2 syllables. One of my arguments is to say the word "firefighter".
I think I just subscribed to Aaronland. It’s true Art values are so arbitrary (sorry to make you read that Nate). We had a client with a massive art collection. One piece was called “black trapezoid” which was exactly what you think. White canvas. Black trapezoid painted. The value was $50,000,000. Ridiculous. People also borrow millions of dollars against their art as collateral and then invest that money in other things.
Listening to you guys talk about space travel and fine art reminds me of what my dad once told me when I was trying to work on a 79 pickup truck at the age of 16. “Son, you might as well be looking up a monkeys butt because you have no idea what’s going on in there!” 😂 Got my tickets to see Nate in June in Bowling Green Ky! Can’t wait!!
Of the hundreds of careers in the art/design field, the fact y’all got caught up on sketch artists, a dying career, for 10 mins out of the hour you focused on art is hilarious! 😂🤣😂 On a serious note, I was a high school art teacher for 11 years and in all that time I’ve never heard something as profound as the way Nate explained artists. “The person [making the art] should not be able to say, ‘I’m doing the art,’ it’s up to the people to decide when it becomes art.” 👏
My father-in-law's name is Brian and my mother-in-law always says it aggressively with one syllable: "BRINE!" My husband and I love to say that randomly- it's kind of like our "Hey Bear." As a former first grade teacher, y'all's conversation about syllables was painful, but hilarious as always! 😂
Watch Ethan Forhetz sketch reaction. He was a news anchor from Springfield, Missouri and they showed a facial composite sketch of a person and then showed who was apprehended. It's tv gold!
Growing up, possums would come on our back porch to eat food we had set out for our cat. Every night, my brother and I would grab brooms, open the back door quickly, and smack the possum back and forth to play what we called, “possum hockey” before we let him run away. I’d love to play a round of possum hockey with the Nateland crew if you all are down
I laughed when Big Money Bates made a joke about a guy at Subway calling himself a sandwich artist because I used to work at Subway when I was 16 and "sandwich artist" was legitimately what my job position was called when I applied for the job. That was what Subway titled the position and so even though I don't work there anymore I will proudly claim that title for the rest of my life just because it's kinda funny. I even used to put "sandwhich artist" in my resume and it was kinda a joke but that was actually what my job was called. The best part though was being able to introduce myself as a "paid artist" when meeting people for the first time. Of course I always had to explain right after that my "artistry" was sandwiches but for those few fleeting moments in between I could feel like a star. My days of sandwhich artistry are behind me now though and I'll be graduating college at the end of this semester. I'm not sure what I'll do after I graduate but maybe I'll get back into the art and become like the next Banksey or something but for sandwiches, leaving meatball marinaras and such in unthinkable places. Whatever I do at least I know I can always go home at the end of the day and make myself an incredibly average sandwich.
I love the fact that amateur sketch artist made the art episode. The Crichton Leprechaun in Mobile is the best amateur sketch that has ever been put on TV. Trust me, you need to see it and watch the news story about the suspicious leprechaun. Besides Mardi Gras that’s all Mobile is known for.
I had no interest in podcasts until I found out Nate and Dusty had one. Two of my favorites on the same platform and it introduced me to Aaron and Brian. Nate, it was your opinion that society ultimately decides who is an artist and what is art. I would say that anyone that creates anything is an artist, and the people decide whether or not it is good. You guys are awesome, thank you for the art that you have put out.
Regarding Subway Sandwich artistry-My husband was a Subway sandwich artist in high school. One night he was there alone at night just before closing. There had been a lot of robberies around the area so he was on guard. A guy in all black and a hat walked in and went straight to the register (instead of where you start the line for ordering). My husband got so nervous he pressed the button on the register that said Police, Fire, thinking it was a silent panic alarm to call 911. Instead the register showed a sandwich discount for policeman and fireman, which the man saw. He then awkwardly asked my husband if Kevin was there (Kevin was the manager). It was just a friend of the manager. My husband felt so bad he thought this guy was going to rob him!
Dusty - My wife and I traveled from Hoquiam Washington (280 miles) down Hwy 101 and made a four-day vacation out of seeing you at the Majestic Theatre in Corvallis. Great show! Wish you were not out of merchandise; I would have bought a hat. I’m a big fan, I was a little star struck when I saw you, Thanks for the picture with my wife and I, I was the one with the wolf howling at the moon shirt on. Tell your manager to book the 7th Street Theater in Hoquiam Washington, it seats 1000 people and I know you would sell it out, it would save me travel time next time you’re in the area or I’m probably going to have to take another vacation this summer and see you in Pendleton. I’m having a great time!
I worked at Subway for 2.5 years during high school and as a former Sandwich Artist, I'd like to speak to Brine's comment. Funny as it sounds, this was our actual job title. I don't know if it's still this way, but at the time, a Sandwich Artist at Subway was as real as a Marketing Coordinator at a Fortune 500 company. Imagine what it was like applying for jobs and having to put "Sandwich Artist" on your resume. It's definitely a good icebreaker during interviews. Sandwich Artists of the world unite!
Listening to Aaron dismissing improv got me riled up. Like Dusty, I’ve done both. Thankfully, Nate and Dusty set him straight a little bit. Improv is amazingly fun and super creative if it’s done right. By the way Aaron, some improvisations are written down and turned into sketches. Chris Farley and Bob Odenkirk did Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker, at Second City Chicago then brought it to SNL. There are countless examples of improv becoming sketches.
It seemed odd that Nate was as disinterested in how many shades of color there are until he reminded us that he's, in fact, _colorblind!_ It reminded me of a prior Nateland podcast where he mentioned his sister would tease him by asking what color things were. I said it before, it would be a *very* interesting show if Nate tried on a pair of EnChroma glasses for the colorblind and we get to see his first reaction.
I saved a baby opossum. It was super sweet and cuddly. They're just misunderstood! They're also very curious animals. One likes to hangout in the tree and watch up hang Christmas lights.
Please for the love of all things good in this world - start a TV show starring your caricatures. The world needs more of this. Also - does Nate have a long lost twin? He looks almost identical to Prince Frederick of Denmark.
The name Aiden (and anything that rhymes with Aiden) is very common for boys who are currently 10-23 years old. Once a friend told me, “my coworker brings her son to get his haircut by you. Her last name is blah blah blah. Do you know her son?” I replied “What is his first name? BTW, if it rhymes with Aiden I won’t know. There are too many of them.” She replied, “His name IS Aiden.” Also, my sons are 18-19 and they each had at least 7 friends named Jaden, Caden, Braden or Aiden.
Hello folks, I just have three things to say... I'm so glad you talked about stress eating and food in this episode. During the last five or six episodes, nobody has said a word about food, their eating habits, or belt size.. I was afraid the show was taken over by imposters. What a relief! Secondly, I can't believe you guys spent all that time talking about rocket scientists and brain surgeons and not once used the phrase. "It's not rocket surgery". We use this phrase all the time in our home to explain the most complex of complex things. Think about it. Finally, I'm dying to know if Brian Bates and Tom Bergeron are twins that were separated at birth. I mean seriously, how is being on this show different than hosting AFV? Keep crushing it fellas. Listening to this podcast makes all the most boring things I do funner. Noah Miles, Spokane WA (please come back sometime!)
If Dusty would have taken the tour of the Cold War exhibit at the Air Force Museum in Dayton he would have learned that the difference between a rocket and missile is that a missile is guided and a rocket isn't. They have nuclear tipped rockets (the nuclear part is removed!) in the museum that could have been placed in the Arctic and been used in a counter strike to a potential Soviet invasion over the Arctic Ocean. They talked about how after you shoot a rocket their isn't a way to control it. Also I love you guys calling a Titans win to the Jags game. That didn't age well, lol! There is always next year! Titan Up!!!
We desperately need an episode about SpaceX and NASA. The lack of understanding about the basics of rocket science and current events in space is astounding. Love this podcast.
As an educator ChatGPT scares me a bit. But as a person I find t amazing. Like this little joke about Vandy Football: "You know, I've been thinking about the Vanderbilt football team lately. And you know what I've realized? They're like that one relative that you're just kind of embarrassed to bring up in conversation. You know, they're not terrible, but they're not exactly good either. They're just kind of...there. But you know what's really funny? They're in the SEC. The Southeastern Conference. The best college football conference in the country. And Vanderbilt is like the kid that gets picked last for kickball, but somehow ends up on the all-star team. I mean, it's like they snuck in the back door or something. And I know what you're thinking, 'But Nate, Vanderbilt's got a great academic program.' Yeah, I know. But let's be real, when's the last time you heard someone say, 'I'm gonna go to Vanderbilt because they've got a great football team'? Never. Because they don't. But you know what's even funnier? They're in the same division as Alabama. Alabama! The team that's won more national championships than they've lost games. That's like being in a boxing match with Muhammad Ali and thinking you're gonna win because you've got a pretty good left hook. But hey, Vanderbilt's got spirit, I'll give them that. They might not win many games, but they'll go down cheering. And that's more than I can say for some teams. So here's to Vanderbilt, the little engine that couldn't, but somehow still does. Technology is so so cool.
Bates is the greatest “best friend”. He probably says “that’s a joke of yours” just as much as he makes a Seinfeld reference. He knows all of their comedy routines so well.
My friend, we went to JMU together, was going to be an animator for Disney. That was the big dream. Instead he did 30 years as a FBI artist for major murder trials and so forth. Didn't live the dream.
In School we would take the train to D.C to see the Art Museums - the best Art was always the graffiti you'd see while passing through train tunnels/overpasses.
Hey bear! Dusty, Billy and Jimmy were also the protagonists in the video game series Double Dragon. I also think there is a high probability there is at least 1 Billy and Jimmy in every trailer park. Take care folks.
I'm an artist, and wanted to comment on how Aaron said there was no yellow in TV. There's a difference between how colors mix together if the colors are being projected at you -- via from a screen or digital device -- versus how they mix together the way we see them in the real world -- where light is bouncing off of objects and being reflected into our eyes. With digital or projected light, the primary colors are Red, Green and Blue (RGB). From mixing those colors together you can get up to 16 million different shades. Mixing digital red and green together gives you yellow -- but in the real world that would make brown.
When Nate said he'd been doing comedy for 20 year as if that was long time (which to me it is), I thought of the interview where Louis C.K. told Theo Von oh you're only 18 years into comedy? you've got so far to go. I can't wait to see what Nate, Aaron, Dusty, and Bedrest do over the next 20 years.
I’d just like to thank the pod for letting me relive the Titans loss to the Jaguars and NOT making the playoffs. Opening the show saying the Titans won and made the playoffs really confused me cuz I was positive they lost and didn’t make the playoffs.
Watching Aaron mouth the ads as Dusty reads them is the high quality content we're looking for. He can't help himself! Y'all should replay that clip next episode.
Breakfast needs to start up his own budget travel agency. You'll miss the actual statue of David (which is kept inside a museum to protect it), but he's more than happy to show you the half-size replica and tell you it's the real thing. To top it off, he'll be worried the whole time. By the way, that replica statue is only a 10 minute walk from the actual statue.
My best friend decided she would “make some art” to hang in her apartment. You know the just splash some paint in random places and make lines that for whatever reason is like incredible when some folks do it. She then started dating a guy who was an artist and he came over and was like “those are terrible” ( not knowing she did them) and she was like “oh totally i just got got them from goodwill to be ironic” and he was like “oh well that’s cool then” like who is making the rules on this?!
I taught a student named Isis last year in PE when she was a kindergartner and I’ll be honest with you, I would 100% rather deal with the terrorist organization than that little girl again. I had a boy come up to me crying once saying that Isis was being mean and I came back with “Well buddy a long as she isn’t screaming Allah Akbar I think you’ll be okay.” One of my best off the cuff remarks I’ve ever made and there wasn’t anyone around old enough to understand it. It killed in the teachers lounge at lunch though.
I’m freaking out. I haven’t even listened to this episode. Can I be honest? I’m only on Episode 71. I love this podcast SO much, and I canNOT bear the thought of skipping ANY episode. But here’s my dilemma, my husband and I are headed to see Nate on January 21st, and I’m not going to be up-to-date on all the Nateland inside jokes. Is “Let’s Go Folks!” still a thing? Because back in November 2021 (episode 71) it is still a very real thing! I feel like I am trying to cram for the weirdest test that won’t be graded but I could somehow still fail. Can I get Cliffs Notes for all of Nateland 2022? Either way I canNOT wait for the show!!! Let’s GO Folks!!!
Eek! Breakfast!!!! Thanks for the response! I will hit it up. That’s better than me staying awake for the next 96 hours and 31 minutes trying to listen to all of them before the show. Thanks again, wow!

The animation of the guys at the graduation was hilarious. Thank you to whoever gifted us with that gem.
absolutely amazing!
Yes, it was Simeon van den Bergh. He has it up on Instagram!
Nate getting a painting by Leonardo da Vinci confused with one by Leonardo DiCaprio is the reason I listen to this podcast.

There is no better ad reader in the business than Mr Dusty Slay. I like listening to him while watching Aaron's face. I think Aaron enjoys the ad reads more than any of us.
Undoubtedly 😂
I like how every other mattress ad is like, "You spend 1/3 of your life in bed, make it comfy" and Nateland's big selling point every week is, "It's fun when you open it."
The first 12 mins of this episode might be my favorite chunk of this show ever. The shuttle scientist, space station, camping “supply” store talk had me full on belly laughing like Santa Claus. That is what makes this podcast so great is conversations like that. Just 4 guys having a great time. Keep it up fellas!
For some reason I love it when Nate works in the "Enough" thing. I hope he keeps doing it.
Agreed! He has great timing with it haha
Nate is a great example of the saying “a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle” I heard Dusty talking about his flourishing career on “We’re Having a Good Time” and he gave credit to The Nateland Podcast (which is how I discovered him), Netflix, and Tik Tok. I have seen Brian a few times before but him being on the Podcast has increased my fandom for him too. The jury is still out on Aaron for me 😂
Aaron is unbelievable when you see him in person. His stage presence is so great. Highly recommend catching him live when you can!
I was not prepared for how hilarious that graduation cartoon was going to be. Man alive, that was so good!
Dusty doing live reads is possibly the highlight of the week for me.
Love Brian’s T shirt of the Nateland crew ❤
Yes! I want to buy one.😄
I think this episode highlighted how important Brian is to the whole thing, possibly one of the best episodes and it seemed effortless.
The way Aaron is watching Dusty read is like a proud Dad watching his kid read for the first time!
“What’s a shuttle scientist gonna do? Take you on an adventure?” 😂😂😂
1:52:30 The statue of David that’s outdoors is a replica. The replica is on the original site, but the actual statue carved by Michelangelo is in the Accademia Museum to protect it from the elements
THIS!!! Came to say this.
The original was moved indoors over 150 years ago!!!
Thanks for the great info! I'll have to share that with the Folkland folks!
I feel like when Aaron said he wouldn't hold a possum it was because it was evil looking, but when Dusty agreed it felt like there was definitely some specific experience with a possum he was remembering.
listen, i’ve never felt something more than the disgust in aaron’s voice about the opossum. i am legit terrified of them. so much so that one time i was sitting in a car with some friends before we took off and an opossum appeared around the corner (outside of the locked car i was in) and i screamed and grabbed my friends arm so tightly he had to physically remove my hand and was like “that’s…a bruise”
@@jessicaallen2955 but they're so timid! Their only defenses are hissing and playing dead. They're soft and cuddly and make funny, cute noises when they eat. They help get rid of all those nasty ticks in the woods too.
The graduation video is SO funny! I was shaking laughing trying not to wake my sleeping baby. Also love that Nate’s slurry Dusty “Berry Sanders” bit made an appearance. One of the funniest Nateland moments, hands down 😂
Watching you guys react to the graduation video was so fun!! Glad you guys thought it was funny as I did!!
It was so good!
I find myself routinely saying "daggummit" throughout my day now thanks to listening to the podcast.
And I laugh to myself every time I catch myself doing it. Thank you for the extra daggum laughs, Nate & Co.
"Paint splash on the wall? Yeah, this is a trick they pulled on us i think." Great line by Dusty.
Glad to hear Madison Jones took Nates advice and ran with it.
Haha! IMO, anyone running D1 XC is exceptional! And so is her sense of humor. 😀
I thought I left a pretty good comment last week, until sitting through four other comments in a row written by people named Scott, none of which were mine. The competition in these parts is stiff! Love it. Keep up the good work, folks.
Bummer! Hey, come subscribe and watch Folkland where we recap Nateland. We'll read them!!
Bisquick: “But am I right that we could not go to the moon right now in the United States if we wanted to?”
Dusty, without even letting him finish: “Yes.”
Listening to the year in review podcast that had parts without Dusty just felt wrong. He’s a natural addition. Love it! Keep it up fellas!
You guys art is the prettiest art of all art.
Nate- "you shouldn't get to say you are it, other people should say it" Also Nate - "I'm the Greatest Average American".
This is why I tune in every week. I can't get enough. :)
Hahaha excellent point, Angie!
😂🤣💀
Watching the Nateland graduation just like my own graduation… not a part of it!
as of late I say “that’s wild” after nearly everything I say. i’ve noticed it slowly start to infiltrate my daily speech and have been wondering where it came from. Nate. It came from Nate and listening to this podcast all the time. My cousin and i both listen to this podcast weekly and text each other our favorite parts and how much we love it. when i text him about this he responded with “but does Nate say “wild” or Aaron say “that’s fair more” 😂
This is objectively the best podcast in existence
Hands down my favorite podcast. I love that I can watch with my kids in the room and not have to worry about vulgarity. Top class.
Brian, candy and ice cream are so important to camping. We take our grandson and he's more interested in what's at the camp store than anything around the camp site. Equipment means different things to different people. :)
I love when people ask questions about stand up and I love the answers you give. So here’s mine. Why do specials not show the opening act, even just a quick couple of minutes or so? Why do we need it in person and not in our living room?
I would love to have at least the option to watch the opener(s) as well!
The openers aren't included because the entire night of comedy isn't the special, it's the portion of material by one specific comic. It's self promotion - no one wants someone to watch their special and go, "man, I wish I could have seen an hour from that first guy instead." Taking someone on the road is how you support comics that aren't as well known or popular, not highlighting them on your special. Also, the comics are usually the ones putting up the money for it all. It would get too complicated to have to each put a % in and also split the profits up based on time.
Things are most often funnier and more enjoyable in person, and there's a certain energy being in a room full of laughing people that you really can't replicate in your living room alone. At least, that has been my experience at comedy shows. Same for the comic - they can't eliminate material that just doesn't hit right when they don't have a real time, real life reaction to it. It's important to show up and support the comic -the special/show is their moment, and they feed off of the IRL energy. Some wouldn't be half as good as they are if they were just talking to a camera. For both comic and fan, the in person experience is what it's all about.
(I know you weren't asking me, sorry if this reply was unwarranted)
The conversation about how many syllables in the word Brian was absolutely hilarious. It reminds me of every time I hear Dusty say the word "And". I try to count the syllables in that he includes in that word. I know there's at least two possibly three. Seems to add extra letters in there I think there's a "Y" and possibly a "U" in there. It might just be the most country anybody has ever sounded in the history of sounding southern. I just love hearing him say the word.
Nate, Brian, Aaron, and Dusty, you are the rare gems in this world. Truly a God’s blessing. The definition of a “real man”. You strive to make us laugh and make every effort to live a pure and humble life. That is not an easy task in this world filled with temptations. God bless you and thank you for the men y’all are. Extraordinary talent!!!!
This episode reminds me of the quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, “architecture is frozen music”. I believe a comedian is an artist. It takes a lot to get up there and put pieces together to create a finished product. Just like a painting, a comedian can be amazing to one person, but, another person may not “get it” or see what you see. I can relate to Nate on how we grew up (i’m right behind him, born in March 1980) so a lot of his comedy brings both laughter and nostalgia, whereas someone else will feel absolutely nothing. Architecture, music, paintings etc. all mean different things to different people and bring out a mix of feelings and emotions, just like comedy. PS, I loved to paint and draw when i was younger, i still paint on occasion. I also create macrame that I sell. Sometimes i try different designs/colors, some i’ve hated and wanted to toss in the trash, those particular pieces have sold faster than others, go figure. Keep doing what you’re doing, you are all loved!
I thought I'd watch this episode on art to inspire me while I paint something for the walls of my new home. After an hour of the crew talking about how bad most art is and how most things shouldn't be considered art, I learned the valuable lesson of finding inspiration within myself to motivate me! Love you guys nonetheless!
We talk about this a bit on Folkland when we recap this sode! It comes out tomorrow. We relate!!
New listener here. Nate showed up in my TH-cam suggestions I guess because I like clean comedy. Dove into Bargatze world online and now I’m #1 fan. Catching up on old episodes and I just have to say Brian Bates is the sweetest most humble man ever. He announces to the whole wide world he has low T and next thing you know BAM! Impregnates a 46 year old woman at the age of 48!!! Brian you are the most macho, manly man on this show!! I’m coming to see Nate this week in Saginaw, MI so please read my comment. Love all you guys and I’ll be coming to see you all when you come to my area.
My favorite Banksy story is from the show The Outsiders. The characters are rehabbing a community center filled with graffiti. During filming of the show somebody had connections to Banksy and had him paint a small mural of a rat. Frank, Christopher Walken's character, is seen asking his probation officer if he should cover-up the artwork after being told to paint over the graffiti on the wall. However, she is facing the other way, unaware it's a Banksy painting, meaning Frank runs his roller over the rat.
So this infamous painting only existed physically for less than a day and now only lives within the world of the show.
I watched exit through the gift shop and it seems staged. Banksy is someone people know well and let him do his thing. It's performance art. Not real.
Brian is actually pretty funny, it’s become more enjoyable to watch cause everyone has their own funny thing about them.
Batesville all the way!
You could tell when they did their live shows, he brings it for the crowd. He IS funny.
Hey Bear. Hello folks! LETS GO. I guess the TEXANS MADE THE PLAYOFFS TOO! Goodbye Folks! Y’all rock
The Cysteine Chapel portion of this podcast had me in tears from laughing so hard. I feel as if Brian could almost have an alter ego. (although I cannot say for sure which one would be the "main ego"). We have "Bri-an Bates" the self proclaimed professional movie critic and "Brine Bates", the backwoods tourist who simply exclaims "gawwwwwwly, look at all this"! when first entering the Cysteine chapel. You guys all bring something so great to this podcast, I get sad when someone is absent for the week. Thanks for all the much needed laughs!
Wow, by saying this is pre-recorded, they weren't kidding. All this talking about we can't make it to the moon yet NASA launched a HUGE moon rocket, circled the Moon and returned to Earth _last year!_
That's going around the moon not to it 😂
Dusty will ignore this like all of the other mountains of evidence that perfectly demonstrate the shape of the Earth. It's kinda sad, really. The Sun rises and sets. A toddler can comprehend that we live on a 3 dimensional object.
Proof?
Sources?
A landing module and a space shuttle are different machines
i think it’s hilarious that there was a huge debate on if the greeting to open the podcast should be “hello folks” or “let’s go folks”. and now nate starts each week with two greetings anyway🤣
I can't even remember the last time I've actually listened to Dusty read an ad. I find myself watching Aaron watching Dusty. Then he started mouthing the words and I lost it. Literal tears at work. Love the show. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!
I love and appreciate how this podcast is entertaining and hilarious, yet never crass or vulgar. I can actually listen to it with my young kids around. Thanks guys!
Thanks for the indirect shout-out at 25:08 to whoever made the graduation animation. I'm glad that person realized that I was Bigfoot and Chewbacca's long lost lovechild.
“I had a stick for 6 years” 😂
Best line haha
Hey guys - love you all! Cannot wait for Brain & Dusty to come to NJ. I just saw Aaron last week, with Joe. Aaron killed, he is so funny!! I just wanted to share my advice on here for anyone worried about coming to see any shows after listening to the podcast; I listen to another comedian's podcast and see them often and I will be honest I don't enjoy their specials / shows as much because a lot is from the pod. With this podcast however I do not have that concern, I have seen Nate since the pod began and he is just as funny as pre-pod and Aaron told one joke that he mentioned on the pod but elaborated more in person and it killed. I will definitely continue watching the podcast and look forward to anyone coming to NJ!!
Thanks again for all the laughter. 👍
On the topic of syllables, I've gotten in multiple disagreements with friends and family with southern accents who say both "fire" and "oil" are one syllable a piece. Despite being born and raised in Montgomery, AL, I say each of them have 2 syllables. One of my arguments is to say the word "firefighter".
Let’s go!!! I love spending my Wednesday mornings with Nashville’s brightest and finest! 😂❤
I think I just subscribed to Aaronland. It’s true Art values are so arbitrary (sorry to make you read that Nate). We had a client with a massive art collection. One piece was called “black trapezoid” which was exactly what you think. White canvas. Black trapezoid painted. The value was $50,000,000. Ridiculous.
People also borrow millions of dollars against their art as collateral and then invest that money in other things.
Listening to you guys talk about space travel and fine art reminds me of what my dad once told me when I was trying to work on a 79 pickup truck at the age of 16. “Son, you might as well be looking up a monkeys butt because you have no idea what’s going on in there!” 😂 Got my tickets to see Nate in June in Bowling Green Ky! Can’t wait!!
Of the hundreds of careers in the art/design field, the fact y’all got caught up on sketch artists, a dying career, for 10 mins out of the hour you focused on art is hilarious! 😂🤣😂
On a serious note, I was a high school art teacher for 11 years and in all that time I’ve never heard something as profound as the way Nate explained artists.
“The person [making the art] should not be able to say, ‘I’m doing the art,’ it’s up to the people to decide when it becomes art.” 👏
My father-in-law's name is Brian and my mother-in-law always says it aggressively with one syllable: "BRINE!" My husband and I love to say that randomly- it's kind of like our "Hey Bear." As a former first grade teacher, y'all's conversation about syllables was painful, but hilarious as always! 😂
Watch Ethan Forhetz sketch reaction. He was a news anchor from Springfield, Missouri and they showed a facial composite sketch of a person and then showed who was apprehended. It's tv gold!
Growing up, possums would come on our back porch to eat food we had set out for our cat. Every night, my brother and I would grab brooms, open the back door quickly, and smack the possum back and forth to play what we called, “possum hockey” before we let him run away.
I’d love to play a round of possum hockey with the Nateland crew if you all are down
The graduation animation is pretty much the best best best thing I've seen in a very long time! This fan gets a thousand HEY BEARS from me. ❤😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I laughed when Big Money Bates made a joke about a guy at Subway calling himself a sandwich artist because I used to work at Subway when I was 16 and "sandwich artist" was legitimately what my job position was called when I applied for the job. That was what Subway titled the position and so even though I don't work there anymore I will proudly claim that title for the rest of my life just because it's kinda funny. I even used to put "sandwhich artist" in my resume and it was kinda a joke but that was actually what my job was called. The best part though was being able to introduce myself as a "paid artist" when meeting people for the first time. Of course I always had to explain right after that my "artistry" was sandwiches but for those few fleeting moments in between I could feel like a star. My days of sandwhich artistry are behind me now though and I'll be graduating college at the end of this semester. I'm not sure what I'll do after I graduate but maybe I'll get back into the art and become like the next Banksey or something but for sandwiches, leaving meatball marinaras and such in unthinkable places. Whatever I do at least I know I can always go home at the end of the day and make myself an incredibly average sandwich.
I love the fact that amateur sketch artist made the art episode. The Crichton Leprechaun in Mobile is the best amateur sketch that has ever been put on TV. Trust me, you need to see it and watch the news story about the suspicious leprechaun. Besides Mardi Gras that’s all Mobile is known for.
I had no interest in podcasts until I found out Nate and Dusty had one. Two of my favorites on the same platform and it introduced me to Aaron and Brian.
Nate, it was your opinion that society ultimately decides who is an artist and what is art. I would say that anyone that creates anything is an artist, and the people decide whether or not it is good.
You guys are awesome, thank you for the art that you have put out.
Casey, we talk about that on the new Folkland sode that comes out tomorrow! You should check it out. Nate and Dusty's podcasts are pretty great.
Regarding Subway Sandwich artistry-My husband was a Subway sandwich artist in high school. One night he was there alone at night just before closing. There had been a lot of robberies around the area so he was on guard. A guy in all black and a hat walked in and went straight to the register (instead of where you start the line for ordering). My husband got so nervous he pressed the button on the register that said Police, Fire, thinking it was a silent panic alarm to call 911. Instead the register showed a sandwich discount for policeman and fireman, which the man saw. He then awkwardly asked my husband if Kevin was there (Kevin was the manager). It was just a friend of the manager. My husband felt so bad he thought this guy was going to rob him!
Dusty - My wife and I traveled from Hoquiam Washington (280 miles) down Hwy 101 and made a four-day vacation out of seeing you at the Majestic Theatre in Corvallis. Great show! Wish you were not out of merchandise; I would have bought a hat. I’m a big fan, I was a little star struck when I saw you, Thanks for the picture with my wife and I, I was the one with the wolf howling at the moon shirt on. Tell your manager to book the 7th Street Theater in Hoquiam Washington, it seats 1000 people and I know you would sell it out, it would save me travel time next time you’re in the area or I’m probably going to have to take another vacation this summer and see you in Pendleton. I’m having a great time!
Can't wait to see the "BAD part of the BAND"!! Love the pod!! See you in Lexington!!
I worked at Subway for 2.5 years during high school and as a former Sandwich Artist, I'd like to speak to Brine's comment. Funny as it sounds, this was our actual job title. I don't know if it's still this way, but at the time, a Sandwich Artist at Subway was as real as a Marketing Coordinator at a Fortune 500 company. Imagine what it was like applying for jobs and having to put "Sandwich Artist" on your resume. It's definitely a good icebreaker during interviews. Sandwich Artists of the world unite!
Listening to Aaron dismissing improv got me riled up. Like Dusty, I’ve done both. Thankfully, Nate and Dusty set him straight a little bit. Improv is amazingly fun and super creative if it’s done right. By the way Aaron, some improvisations are written down and turned into sketches. Chris Farley and Bob Odenkirk did Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker, at Second City Chicago then brought it to SNL. There are countless examples of improv becoming sketches.
It seemed odd that Nate was as disinterested in how many shades of color there are until he reminded us that he's, in fact, _colorblind!_ It reminded me of a prior Nateland podcast where he mentioned his sister would tease him by asking what color things were.
I said it before, it would be a *very* interesting show if Nate tried on a pair of EnChroma glasses for the colorblind and we get to see his first reaction.
I saved a baby opossum. It was super sweet and cuddly. They're just misunderstood! They're also very curious animals. One likes to hangout in the tree and watch up hang Christmas lights.
Kat, that's awesome! - Jacy from Batesville (aka co-host of Folkland) :)
I hope a new graduation video becomes an annual thing. That video was hilarious.
That cartoon was so funny!
Talking about comedy as art more than fine art... classic!
Please for the love of all things good in this world - start a TV show starring your caricatures. The world needs more of this. Also - does Nate have a long lost twin? He looks almost identical to Prince Frederick of Denmark.
The name Aiden (and anything that rhymes with Aiden) is very common for boys who are currently 10-23 years old. Once a friend told me, “my coworker brings her son to get his haircut by you. Her last name is blah blah blah. Do you know her son?” I replied “What is his first name? BTW, if it rhymes with Aiden I won’t know. There are too many of them.” She replied, “His name IS Aiden.” Also, my sons are 18-19 and they each had at least 7 friends named Jaden, Caden, Braden or Aiden.
Hello folks, I just have three things to say...
I'm so glad you talked about stress eating and food in this episode. During the last five or six episodes, nobody has said a word about food, their eating habits, or belt size.. I was afraid the show was taken over by imposters. What a relief!
Secondly, I can't believe you guys spent all that time talking about rocket scientists and brain surgeons and not once used the phrase. "It's not rocket surgery". We use this phrase all the time in our home to explain the most complex of complex things. Think about it.
Finally, I'm dying to know if Brian Bates and Tom Bergeron are twins that were separated at birth. I mean seriously, how is being on this show different than hosting AFV?
Keep crushing it fellas. Listening to this podcast makes all the most boring things I do funner.
Noah Miles, Spokane WA (please come back sometime!)
If Dusty would have taken the tour of the Cold War exhibit at the Air Force Museum in Dayton he would have learned that the difference between a rocket and missile is that a missile is guided and a rocket isn't. They have nuclear tipped rockets (the nuclear part is removed!) in the museum that could have been placed in the Arctic and been used in a counter strike to a potential Soviet invasion over the Arctic Ocean. They talked about how after you shoot a rocket their isn't a way to control it.
Also I love you guys calling a Titans win to the Jags game. That didn't age well, lol! There is always next year! Titan Up!!!
We desperately need an episode about SpaceX and NASA. The lack of understanding about the basics of rocket science and current events in space is astounding. Love this podcast.
And they are less than two hours away from the current SLS program office, human lander office, and rocket propulsion center of NASA AT MSFC
The best “supplies” at my camp store were Bon Bons. Couldn’t have made it without them.
As an educator ChatGPT scares me a bit. But as a person I find t amazing. Like this little joke about Vandy Football:
"You know, I've been thinking about the Vanderbilt football team lately. And you know what I've realized? They're like that one relative that you're just kind of embarrassed to bring up in conversation. You know, they're not terrible, but they're not exactly good either. They're just kind of...there.
But you know what's really funny? They're in the SEC. The Southeastern Conference. The best college football conference in the country. And Vanderbilt is like the kid that gets picked last for kickball, but somehow ends up on the all-star team. I mean, it's like they snuck in the back door or something.
And I know what you're thinking, 'But Nate, Vanderbilt's got a great academic program.' Yeah, I know. But let's be real, when's the last time you heard someone say, 'I'm gonna go to Vanderbilt because they've got a great football team'? Never. Because they don't.
But you know what's even funnier? They're in the same division as Alabama. Alabama! The team that's won more national championships than they've lost games. That's like being in a boxing match with Muhammad Ali and thinking you're gonna win because you've got a pretty good left hook.
But hey, Vanderbilt's got spirit, I'll give them that. They might not win many games, but they'll go down cheering. And that's more than I can say for some teams. So here's to Vanderbilt, the little engine that couldn't, but somehow still does.
Technology is so so cool.
I like that Nate ended with it’s brought to you by “helix sleep, better sleep…”. I’m assuming he meant Better Help lol
Bates is the greatest “best friend”. He probably says “that’s a joke of yours” just as much as he makes a Seinfeld reference. He knows all of their comedy routines so well.
My friend, we went to JMU together, was going to be an animator for Disney. That was the big dream. Instead he did 30 years as a FBI artist for major murder trials and so forth. Didn't live the dream.
In School we would take the train to D.C to see the Art Museums - the best Art was always the graffiti you'd see while passing through train tunnels/overpasses.
My 1st cruise, we rescued 38 Cubans at sea and a guy was helicoptered off. The comedian had a blast with new material.
Hey bear! Dusty, Billy and Jimmy were also the protagonists in the video game series Double Dragon. I also think there is a high probability there is at least 1 Billy and Jimmy in every trailer park. Take care folks.
Nateland podcast in a perfect nutshell, saying maybe we only play in places that start with c, and nobody says comedy club..
Was thinking the same thing. Hilarious 😂
I'm an artist, and wanted to comment on how Aaron said there was no yellow in TV. There's a difference between how colors mix together if the colors are being projected at you -- via from a screen or digital device -- versus how they mix together the way we see them in the real world -- where light is bouncing off of objects and being reflected into our eyes. With digital or projected light, the primary colors are Red, Green and Blue (RGB). From mixing those colors together you can get up to 16 million different shades. Mixing digital red and green together gives you yellow -- but in the real world that would make brown.
When Nate said he'd been doing comedy for 20 year as if that was long time (which to me it is), I thought of the interview where Louis C.K. told Theo Von oh you're only 18 years into comedy? you've got so far to go. I can't wait to see what Nate, Aaron, Dusty, and Bedrest do over the next 20 years.
I’d just like to thank the pod for letting me relive the Titans loss to the Jaguars and NOT making the playoffs. Opening the show saying the Titans won and made the playoffs really confused me cuz I was positive they lost and didn’t make the playoffs.
Watching Aaron mouth the ads as Dusty reads them is the high quality content we're looking for. He can't help himself! Y'all should replay that clip next episode.
This is hysterical. Had to go back and watch. It's true!!
You guys said Rocket so much I started wondering if it was even a real word that I had ever heard or said
Breakfast needs to start up his own budget travel agency. You'll miss the actual statue of David (which is kept inside a museum to protect it), but he's more than happy to show you the half-size replica and tell you it's the real thing. To top it off, he'll be worried the whole time. By the way, that replica statue is only a 10 minute walk from the actual statue.
That chicken bit was pretty Natey. And to have him read it almost sounded like it was a great bit.
My best friend decided she would “make some art” to hang in her apartment. You know the just splash some paint in random places and make lines that for whatever reason is like incredible when some folks do it. She then started dating a guy who was an artist and he came over and was like “those are terrible” ( not knowing she did them) and she was like “oh totally i just got got them from goodwill to be ironic” and he was like “oh well that’s cool then” like who is making the rules on this?!
I taught a student named Isis last year in PE when she was a kindergartner and I’ll be honest with you, I would 100% rather deal with the terrorist organization than that little girl again.
I had a boy come up to me crying once saying that Isis was being mean and I came back with “Well buddy a long as she isn’t screaming Allah Akbar I think you’ll be okay.” One of my best off the cuff remarks I’ve ever made and there wasn’t anyone around old enough to understand it. It killed in the teachers lounge at lunch though.
Y’all should change the ad read 14:47 “c-how C-How!” 😂
Thank you for the lovely vlogs Paula.🥰
You guys missed the opportunity to talk about the “amateur sketch” of the leprechaun in Alabama that looks eerily similar to a Jason Mraz album cover.
I love how y’all clapped to do the sound out the names I put my phone down and did the same thing lol
I’m freaking out. I haven’t even listened to this episode. Can I be honest? I’m only on Episode 71. I love this podcast SO much, and I canNOT bear the thought of skipping ANY episode. But here’s my dilemma, my husband and I are headed to see Nate on January 21st, and I’m not going to be up-to-date on all the Nateland inside jokes. Is “Let’s Go Folks!” still a thing? Because back in November 2021 (episode 71) it is still a very real thing! I feel like I am trying to cram for the weirdest test that won’t be graded but I could somehow still fail.
Can I get Cliffs Notes for all of Nateland 2022?
Either way I canNOT wait for the show!!!
Let’s GO Folks!!!
A couple of week's ago, we put out a 2022 Year In Review episode.
Eek! Breakfast!!!! Thanks for the response! I will hit it up. That’s better than me staying awake for the next 96 hours and 31 minutes trying to listen to all of them before the show.
Thanks again, wow!
Nate thinking you just float on the spot in space is wild
Y’all should sponsor Maddison, the 1st Nateland cross country runner!
We need a nateland animated series
