This settles it -- we need an episode of analyzing song lyrics. Take a handful of songs and read the lyrics and discuss. Keep up the great work boys -- this is a highlight of my week every week!
I’d love a shout-out to all Nateland Fans who (like me) found the podcast recently and put in the time to start from the beginning and listen to all the episodes. At an average length of 2 hours per episode, that’s 228 hours of content. I looked it up and 228 hours also happens to be the exact amount of time it would take to watch every episode of both The West Wing and The Office. I’m looking forward to the next 33 episodes, which will match the 66 hours of the Seinfeld series. Keep up the good work, gentlemen!
I like how Nate has told the "Hot Tub Time Machine" story at least 4 times on the podcast where Greg Giraldo asks Craig Robinson "what's that movie about?" He found it so funny that the question had to be asked about a story with that title. Then Dusty mentions the book "My Teacher is an Alien" and Nate immediately asks, with complete sincerity, "what's that about?"
I thought Nate was making the joke by asking Dusty what’s that book about. I fully expected Nate to tell that story again but I guess he figures we’ve all heard it before lol. Dusty May not have ever heard it though
I'd like to hear an episode about companies that used to sponsor the podcast. Was Magic Spoon Cereal really that tasty? Did Keeps finally realize that maybe Butler was not the best spokesperson for their product? Did Helix start to worry that they were basically being likened to a cheap hotel mattress based on the number and variety of people Nate was always talking about checking in to his guest bedroom? Where are these companies now and why are we folks no longer worth their advertising dollars?
I’m a Firefighter/Paramedic in North Georgia. I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate all of you. I listen to your podcast on my way home from shift. Whenever I have an especially exhausting shift, mentally or physically, its great to be able to decompress and laugh at and with you guys. I appreciate everything you guys do and I cannot wait to see Dusty in Greenville this coming weekend!
I'm a little worried the guy Dusty is talking about was my cousin. He was going to see Dusty, and I told him to yell "hey bear!" and he said he would. And it just sounds like an interaction that he'd be involved in. It's my fault. I should have known better than to turn him loose with "hey bear" when he wasn't ready. I'm sorry, Dusty. Edit to update - It was my cousin. I just spoke to him, and he confirmed he was that guy. He's ... well, I don't know enough words to explain him, but it is my fault. He agreed to give me the one of the autographed hats Dusty signed for him. Again, sorry for my role in it.
@@PaulieD1122, lol I almost hope my comment gets lost in the rest of them. He asked me how I knew about what happened and I told him it was the first thing they talked about on the podcast. He said "what did he say happened?" 😆 That's when I knew Dusty likely told the polite version of the story. I don't want to share too much about him, but without context of why he is like he is, the dude can seem some type of way. But he's a veteran who maybe doesn't read a room as good as he should sometimes, and it can come off as abrasive. I definitely should have known better than to set him up like that, but I wasn't thinking about him just shouting it in the middle of the show LOL
Any comment that starts out "I'm a little worried the guy... was my cousin." LOL! Hope everything is good now and we all have a cousin like this we love, right? (I'm dead-LOL LOL)
I think Nate sharing his opinions is a part of the podcast that I appreciate the most. Many people are constantly shoving their opinions in your face and telling you why theirs are superior to yours, and I think Nate is afraid that he’s doing the same, but he’s not. He doesn’t claim to know everything, he doesn’t have political gains to make, he’s a comedian sharing his thoughts on his podcast in an often funny and relatable way. As he often says, being yourself is important, and that’s what he’s doing. And in a world where everyone is trying to be someone else, that’s one of the best things you can do.
I could tell Nate wanted to tell us the hot tub time machine story again when he asked dusty what is my teacher is an alien about, but for the first time in the history of the Nateland podcast he restrained himself.
An old timer once told a guy I use to work with “You should never tear someone else down to be able to build yourself up that’s a weak foundation ” That has always stuck with me. This is my favorite podcast. I’ve been going through a rough patch and y’all always make me laugh and put me in a better mood. THANK Y’ALL SO MUCH! Keep just being yourselves I love how relatable you guys are!
Yes! Every Tuesday I get so excited because when I wake up the next morning I'll have an alert that Nateland podcast has uploaded a new episode. It makes Wednesday's commute so much better than the rest.
I had have 9 month old twins and an almost 2.5 year old. In this season since the twins came there is a lot of crying for both the kids and me on some hard days. I found your podcast in this season and it has brought laughter into my days. Sometimes everybody will be crying and I will put two in the stroller, one in the carrier on me and then put in my AirPods to listen to this just because I know I will laugh and it will lift my mood. Thanks for making a hard season a little better.
Hey bear! You can definitely tell Nate doesnt listen to song lyrics by his choice of "Cleopatra" by the Lumineers as his song at the beginning of his 30 minute special on Netflix. Its literally one of my favorite songs in general but its about an elderly woman who is dying alone because she was so overwhelmed with grief after her father died that she refused the proposal of the man she had loved when she was younger. Now when I listen to it I think about Nate just bobbing his head along to this depressing song haha Love you guys! Best podcast ever!
Glad Aaron was there to get my last name correct! I think it would be awesome if yall did another episode on stand up comedy, you could talk about how different it is after the pandy !!
So many things to love about this podcast but I think the best thing has to be Nate telling any story involving Breakfast or his frustration traveling with him! Would love an episode of all those traveling experiences you guys have had with each other (mostly Nate and Breakfast)!
Aaron I feel your pain. For a year of high school I had a tire that would go flat in about 3 hours. So every day before school and before going home I would use a portable air pump that plugged into my cigarette lighter in the car. It's amazing how I avoided getting it fixed or replaced because it was too much work. Yet I would sit outside in MN winter for 5-10 minutes every time I wanted to go somewhere and didn't think twice about it. My dad said "It takes a lot of work to be that lazy" and I think about it to this day when I procrastinate something simple.
Nate's ability to parrot what people say right when he hears it being spoken and also have it make sense is really impressive. Especially when he follows it up right away with a witty Nate-ism. Comedic savant. Thanks for the laughs Nate Dog, BB Gun, A&W, and D-Slay! -Scott Crawford
It took several years but i was finally able to break free of online / phone games I was addicted to because of the gambling/loot box aspect. I quit one game I felt I had a decent spending problem on and maybe spent a total of $500 on only to start a different game that over 2 years I possibly spent $10k on. Often thinking about all the money I had spent would make me feel sick with myself then next thing I knew I was spending more. I successfully broke the addiction 8-12 months ago and am now trying to help my wife with her same addiction. We make good money but never had anything in the bank. It wasn’t until I looked back 12+ months and tracked our income vs spending to realize what we were doing to ourselves financially. Good luck to anyone else out there suffering from the same. You’re not alone.
Hello folks! I think its time for Nate to see color. There are glasses that allow people who are colorblind to see color. I think having him see the red in "The Nateland Podcat" logo for the first time along with other colors he's never seen would be an awesome episode! Let's go folks! - Scott Crawford
My oldest just started middle school and thanks to Nateland I am absolutely CRUSHING the first 2 weeks of 6th grade history homework. Now my family thinks I am the real secret genius. Keep up the good work guys!
Going back through older episodes while I clean up from Christmas and had to laugh at Hardee's having their heyday. The day Hardee's opened in our small town in VA, we went for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was a big big deal. Thanks for the memories.
Hey Dusty, I know I’m preaching to the choir here but those half hour time police wouldn’t know a good joke if it slapped them in the face. Just the other day I listen to the full 10 minute bit of the ‘it’s 5 o’clock somewhere’ joke, and it was incredible - one of my favorites. If anyone reading this hasn’t listened to it yet, go to TH-cam and find it!
I really hate that these guys let people upset with their jokes have any influence at all. I don’t think they’re bowing to their every whim, but they’re all super nice guys and don’t want to offend people. They are all so funny and intelligent with their comedy, don’t let a whiney few ruin our fun!
Forgetting that Chick-fil-A was closed on Sundays was especially frustrating on trips back from visiting my parents in Tennessee. What made it worse was I was the manager of a Chick-fil-A back home in Cincinnati for almost 8 years. Both the wife and I love the podcast, and look forward to the crew's unbelievable take each week.
Let’s go folks! Listening to Nate talk about wanting to take a dog on the road, while judging others for doing so was very relatable for me. I have my own contracting business so I’m in Home Depot several times a day. I always see people with their dogs in there and will judge them for having dogs in a store that can sometimes get in peoples way. But secretly, I just wish I had one of my four dogs with me. Love you guys! Keep up the great work! Aaron
After this episode, I decided to give gambling a go. While I've dabbled in the past with a fantasy team, all this talk made me give real betting a try. Since you all contributed to my new found delinquency, I decided to place a $5 bet on Vandy to beat Wake and a $5 bet on Notre Dame to win the national championship. Needless to say, I probably won't be places any new bets anytime soon. Of course, I'm kidding. The show makes me literally look forward to driving to work. Thank you all so much for all you do.
Nate, I’m just like you with music. My wife used to call me a sociopath for “not caring” about music. I know what I like and will listen to it but ask me to sing or tell you the words and I’ll stare at you with a blank look on my face. For our wedding we wanted to have parts personal to us and each picked out the music to walk out to or play at different times. I listened to tons of songs until I decided on what I would come out to. Jump forward to our wedding day and half the people are laughing when my instrumental version of “One” by Metallica comes on. I thought they were all being rude and at the reception got some high fives and laughs and was still dumbfounded until someone played the version with the lyrics for me. Nate, for you and others like us, here are the lyrics to the song I walked out to on my wedding day: “One” by Metallica I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there's not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh, please God, wake me Back in the womb, it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh, please God, wake me Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh, God, help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh, please God, help me Darkness imprisoning me All that I see, absolute horror I cannot live, I cannot die Trapped in myself Body, my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech, taken my hearing Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul Left me with life in hell
I identify so much with Nate when it comes to music! My sister and I are Swifties and I just don’t listen to the words and it kills my sister that I’m missing such deep lyrics ! Like I literally just listen to the mood and vibe and sing along to the sounds I hear !!
As a Chick-fil-A owner I can tell you that Dusty hit the nail on the head. No amount of sales can replace the feeling of knowing my employees get Sundays off. Truett once said it was the best business decision he ever made.
This should be the motivation episode! Take aways, don't allow yourself to get comfortable, falling on your face keep getting up and keep going, just keep going, ignore the nay sayers, bet on yourself, and don't be afraid to challenge the status quo.
When you guys mentioned Snopes and the 2 people looking up stuff it reminded me of a job I had back in college doing something similar. It was a competitor of Snopes but you could text questions to a number and get an answer quickly. We were given a time limit to answer it either based on your own knowledge of the question or you could google it. There was a website to log into and start having messages pop up to reply to, for each message you replied to you'd earn some money. Nothing substantial mind you, I believe it was like a quarter or something like that. We were encouraged to be funny and witty with our replies but that snowballed into me insulting the people for asking such dumb questions.. even though I still used the service myself for random questions and facts. I haven't thought about that job in like 10 years, thanks for the memory jog!
Dusty, your Adam Sandler double “V” name alliteration discussion reminded me of the double “L” name alliteration in the Superman universe. Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lex Luther, and so on. I wonder if Sandler and his fellow writers are tipping their hat to this for fun. If so it would be considered an Easter Egg. Which, by the way, would make a really neat episode topic for the pod. They only started calling them Easter Eggs in the last twenty years, but Hollywood has been sneaking in little hidden jokes and nods to other actors/films for years and years. Disney has its own depth on the topic with hidden Mickeys and many many others.
Speaking of knowing NOTHING about soccer and the keeper: My middle son, Bode, was a rising sophomore in summer of 2020. None of his usual sports were guaranteed. Many of his friends played soccer and suggested he try out for the team because they needed more keepers. He's very athletic and likes throwing his body around so we figured he'd make the team. But none of us knew anything about soccer. His first game, he wasn't sure how to return the ball, he looked at the ref and other team and said, "I'm new here." He played the second half of every game, and had a lot of saves but many of them were creative to say the least, like the time he used his head. Coach said, "Bode, great save. Never do that again." We spent the season in the bleachers listening to the other parents' collective gasping whenever Bode was at the goal. After the head save, I heard one dad say, "That kid scares the hell out of me." The JV team had a winning season, and Bode successfully tried a new sport with his homies. Couldn't be prouder. P.S. I thought they were called "stops" until just now, my husband said they're called "saves." Hey Bear, love y'all:)
On the day of my wedding, the wedding party rolled into a local dive bar between the ceremony and reception. It was like 2 PM, and we were in our tuxes and gowns. We ordered a couple pitchers and threw some money in the Jukebox. We didn't get 30 seconds into the first song before the bartender walked over and literally unplugged the jukebox🤣 The old-timers sitting around watching college softball on a Saturday afternoon apparently did not appreciate "Back that Azz Up"
A group of friends and I were on our way to our friends’ wedding and for some reason we were hooked on Take Me Home Country Roads. We listened to it the whole 2+ hour drive there. Anyway, the wedding ends and it’s time for the reception and we’re the first ones in and notice a blue tooth speaker. One of my friends connects to it and begins to play Take Me Home (just one time as a joke). Finally while the bride is opening gifts she looks up and says “Who keeps playing this?” That’s when our table starts cracking up. It had to have played at least 7 times with no one noticing.
Hotel California isn't about hell. The following excerpt explains what the band members said about it: It’s a socio-political statement. It’s about darkness and light. And it’s about the self-destruction that comes from greed and hedonism. Love you guys! Keep up the laughs!
If you’re still looking to name your new special, “no dictionary required” would be perfect. Actually, “community college knowledge” would be better but I already heard another comedian use that. Great show again!
The edge sorting case involving Phil Ivey was actually a Baccarat game in which Phil told the Borgata hotel that he was willing to gamble an insane amount of money if they promised to use a certain type of playing card and rotate the cards a certain way because he was superstitious. They agreed to the demands, but later sued (and won) to have their money returned after losing over $10 million dollars to him. The judge ruled he was not cheating, but the house was cheated based on the demands giving an unfair advantage since the house did not have the proper info.
Just wanna do a little clarifying to Beatles research, Elon actually was not the founder of Tesla, Eberhard and Tarpenning founded Tesla in 2003 and Elon decided to buy the company out and in his contract he made a demand that he must be named CEO and given the title “Co-Founder” despite joining the company 5 years after its founding. Elon joined in Oct 2008, at which point Tesla was already seeing an increase in productivity so it would be more accurate to say Tesla took a gamble and Elon came into the picture as the payout. People often confuse Musk for the founder when it’s just not the case
Did listening to “Dixie on my mind” help calm you down? Sort of, I wasn’t in NYC long enough to hear the entire song. I wish it was longer like that raisin song.
I've been watching the show "alone" on netflix. 10 people are dropped off in the wilderness completely alone and are expected to survive as long as possible. In the show they are constantly saying "Hey Bear" as they move around trying to avoid running into grizzly bears. This got me thinking, who would survive the longest among the 4 of you and why would "barnum & bailey" be the first one out?
I think my brother andrew is like a Nate and Dusty hybrid. He didn’t go to college, works on an oil rig, talks casually and confidently about aliens and conspiracies, does jiu jitsu, and when I asked him how many guns he has he said “who are you, the government?” and didn’t say anything else.
I always hear you guys came to Tulsa! So sad I’ve missed it. I’ve traveled to see Dusty twice and I will again. Hoping to see the rest of the BAND soon as well!
Even though there was minimal gambling talk on the ‘sode…. I find it was a fitting topic for this week. I placed my first sports bet ever on the Texas Alabama game. I put a big ten bucks on my Longhorns and WOW! I figured I was kissing my money goodbye, but that game was unbelievable and I almost had an extra $160 in my pocket. Guess I’ll keep my day job. Love you guys! Love the podcast! Hook ‘em Horns!
There are several theories about Hotel California. Three main ones are: Drugs/Alcohol addiction, Mental Asylum, and doing time in CA state prison. Each of those theories have corresponding lyrics in the song that can support each scenario. As far as I know, the band refused to share their inspiration for creating the song, and its probably for the better.
All wrong. The band stated that the song is about the materialism of California and being sucked into the Hollywood musical entertainment beast system, and how the industry is basically like selling your soul for fame metaphorically, and it runs people into the ground.
I know the joke is always that Nate is dumb but when he talks about his career, the importance of not comparing yourself to others and his general outlook on how to live life, it's evident that he's very intelligent and grounded. I work in mental health and I wish my clients had the insight Nate does. I really resonate with Nate's view and some of my favourite phrases are "without challenge, there is no change" and "you don't grow when you're comfortable." He could have a side hustle as a life coach. On a side note if Bigtop ever has a special, I think he found his title: "I Strive to be Average."
Alright guys. The song is what’s new Pussycat by Tom Jones. Now that I’ve corrected you it’s story time… me and my friend did this at a pool hall and the waitress came over and got angry with us and threatened to kick us out so we played it one last time and immediately left
I'm planning on getting rid of my washing machine because Nate says just sit by a solo stove and I don't have to wash my clothes I'm really excited about all the space I'll save .
I’d really hate to see you guys stop giving your “opinions” on the show. Honestly, I’ve never heard any of you share something that was controversial or mean. Part of the reason we all listen is to get to know y’all better. Hearing your thoughts on different topics is fun. It allows us to feel like we’re having a conversation with you. Unfortunately, some people are just easily offended or looking for an argument. Don’t let them steal something from the show that most of us truly enjoy. In the end, all we want is to keep havin’ a good time.
Hey folks! I’m also a big soccer fan (particularly of World and Euro Cups). My dad got me into the sport in 2010 by showing me “who is regarded as the sexiest soccer player in the world” (his words)-Cristiano Ronaldo. It worked-I watched every game of that World Cup and haven’t missed one since.
I think Nate’s special should be call “something man of the year” something would be replaces with the right word but it goes with his whole thing. It could be simple man of the year even
People call me a conspiracy theorist when I say Snopes was a filthy rich couple that hosted a site which arbitrarily tells you what's false or not, and they have been wrong many times. It's almost like propaganda.
Great show at the Toledo zoo! Loved hearing another Christian kid talk about growing up being physically incapable of lying 😂 Would love to hear a Nateland episode on zoos. Because when the heck did we start putting animals behind glass and staring at them? 🥴
YES NATE! Soccer is phenomenal, you have a great USA star in Nashville in Walker Zimmerman to latch on to! You have to give the premier league a chance too, check out Pulisic with Chelsea and Leeds United has an American coach and 2 stars of the US national team Tyler Adams and Brendan Aaronson! Just like Danny Rojas said, "Futbol is Life!"
Nate and crew. If you have a Discount tire in your town they will top off your tires for free (just pull up in the designated area) or head to any new car dealership's service area as they too have free air regardless of where you got your car. Beats the old service station racket.
What's up Pussycat was Tom Jones. Neil Diamond sang Sweet Caroline. Of course, someone could have said Neil Diamond sang Barracuda and things will still flow pretty normally on the show. Best podcast!
Circling back to Nate not listening to song lyrics, the song Hook by Blues Traveler is about exactly that. Basically he says if the tune is catchy enough you can say whatever you want. And then “the hook brings you back”. So don’t feel bad Nate, just proves you are The Greatest Average American.
I think for the fantasy football leagues you should put something up for the winner. Signed shirt, tickets to a show(probably not a breakfast show), or some other cool prize for the winner.
How about an episode on Superstitions? The Mets recently had Timmy Trumpet do live walkout music for pitcher Edwin Diaz and the Mets immediately went on an 8 game losing streak. Jerry Seinfeld blamed it on “that stupid trumpet performance”, saying “Celebrating in season. We haven’t won anything yet. Bad mojo.” He then compared it to the Baha Men doing a live performance of Who Let the Dogs Out being responsible for the Mets losing the World Series in 2000. With sports, and the world I general, being rife with superstitions, I think it’s be a fun episode.
Hotel California is about someone with dreams of making it big coming to California and then never making it and wasting your life until you realize that it’s too late
Yeah everyone saying it's about drugs and the devil are wrong. It can be interpreted differently of course but it is indeed about the materialism of califonia and being a slave to the Industry and being stuck spinning your wheels trying to make a buck. Finally someone gets it!!!!!
@@wakenow7612 “It all started with Glenn Frey wanting to do something strange, just to see if he and the band could. So they turned to a hazy and nightmarish novel written by John Fowles in 1965, called The Magus, where a depressive yet eager young wanderer with nothing finds himself charmed by a wealthy Greek recluse whose powers of splendor and decadence end up detaching the young man from reality as he knows it, resulting in tragedy and loss….Like coming of age and the loss of innocence. Or the sparkling allure of golden age California’s dashing but dangerous lifestyle of cash and drugs.”

That is when I discovered Nate…on YMH. Now I am up to date on the podcast as well as all of his specials! Easily my fav comedian!
The way Dusty & Aaron giggle while doing the ads make the ads very enjoyable.
Bear oh bear I need these on Wednesdays! I cannot express how important these are. Love it!
So many things to love about this podcast but I think the best thing has to be Nate telling any story involving Breakfast or his frustration traveling with him! Would love an episode of all those traveling experiences you guys have had with each other (mostly Nate and Breakfast)!
Nate's road dog definitely needs to become the podcast mascot! PLEASE go forward with this thought, Nate!
Aaron I feel your pain. For a year of high school I had a tire that would go flat in about 3 hours. So every day before school and before going home I would use a portable air pump that plugged into my cigarette lighter in the car. It's amazing how I avoided getting it fixed or replaced because it was too much work. Yet I would sit outside in MN winter for 5-10 minutes every time I wanted to go somewhere and didn't think twice about it. My dad said "It takes a lot of work to be that lazy" and I think about it to this day when I procrastinate something simple.
Nate's ability to parrot what people say right when he hears it being spoken and also have it make sense is really impressive. Especially when he follows it up right away with a witty Nate-ism. Comedic savant.
Thanks for the laughs Nate Dog, BB Gun, A&W, and D-Slay!

It took several years but i was finally able to break free of online / phone games I was addicted to because of the gambling/loot box aspect. I quit one game I felt I had a decent spending problem on and maybe spent a total of $500 on only to start a different game that over 2 years I possibly spent $10k on. Often thinking about all the money I had spent would make me feel sick with myself then next thing I knew I was spending more.
I successfully broke the addiction 8-12 months ago and am now trying to help my wife with her same addiction.
We make good money but never had anything in the bank. It wasn’t until I looked back 12+ months and tracked our income vs spending to realize what we were doing to ourselves financially.
Good luck to anyone else out there suffering from the same. You’re not alone.
Are you Brian?
Nate, you have absolutely no reason to apologize to any fragile college students or graduates! This is a comedy podcast!
Dusty “Dollop” Slay. A dollop of Slay keeps the demons at bay.
Or you can have a whole "slew" of dollops. Apparently I've been using the past tense of Dusty's name to mean a bunch of something LOL
Randy Travis - 3 Wooden Crosses gets me everytime. Give it a listen. So impactful
Hello folks! I think its time for Nate to see color. There are glasses that allow people who are colorblind to see color. I think having him see the red in "The Nateland Podcat" logo for the first time along with other colors he's never seen would be an awesome episode! Let's go folks! - Scott Crawford
Dusty says “water” like “wooder”. I like it a lot.
My oldest just started middle school and thanks to Nateland I am absolutely CRUSHING the first 2 weeks of 6th grade history homework. Now my family thinks I am the real secret genius. Keep up the good work guys!
Saw the title and thought theres a good chance of hearing a wild Norm MacDonald story! 🤞
Going back through older episodes while I clean up from Christmas and had to laugh at Hardee's having their heyday.
The day Hardee's opened in our small town in VA, we went for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was a big big deal.
Thanks for the memories.
Hey Dusty, I know I’m preaching to the choir here but those half hour time police wouldn’t know a good joke if it slapped them in the face. Just the other day I listen to the full 10 minute bit of the ‘it’s 5 o’clock somewhere’ joke, and it was incredible - one of my favorites. If anyone reading this hasn’t listened to it yet, go to TH-cam and find it!
I really hate that these guys let people upset with their jokes have any influence at all. I don’t think they’re bowing to their every whim, but they’re all super nice guys and don’t want to offend people. They are all so funny and intelligent with their comedy, don’t let a whiney few ruin our fun!
Love Nate's timing, they are all hilarious!
Forgetting that Chick-fil-A was closed on Sundays was especially frustrating on trips back from visiting my parents in Tennessee. What made it worse was I was the manager of a Chick-fil-A back home in Cincinnati for almost 8 years. Both the wife and I love the podcast, and look forward to the crew's unbelievable take each week.
Let’s go folks! Listening to Nate talk about wanting to take a dog on the road, while judging others for doing so was very relatable for me. I have my own contracting business so I’m in Home Depot several times a day. I always see people with their dogs in there and will judge them for having dogs in a store that can sometimes get in peoples way. But secretly, I just wish I had one of my four dogs with me. Love you guys! Keep up the great work! Aaron
Bogus’ special could be called Nervous Circus
I feel an Episode about 'Movies' is long overdue. Movies are brought up on this show almost as often as Seinfeld
After this episode, I decided to give gambling a go. While I've dabbled in the past with a fantasy team, all this talk made me give real betting a try. Since you all contributed to my new found delinquency, I decided to place a $5 bet on Vandy to beat Wake and a $5 bet on Notre Dame to win the national championship. Needless to say, I probably won't be places any new bets anytime soon. Of course, I'm kidding. The show makes me literally look forward to driving to work. Thank you all so much for all you do.
Nate, I’m just like you with music. My wife used to call me a sociopath for “not caring” about music. I know what I like and will listen to it but ask me to sing or tell you the words and I’ll stare at you with a blank look on my face.
For our wedding we wanted to have parts personal to us and each picked out the music to walk out to or play at different times. I listened to tons of songs until I decided on what I would come out to.
Jump forward to our wedding day and half the people are laughing when my instrumental version of “One” by Metallica comes on. I thought they were all being rude and at the reception got some high fives and laughs and was still dumbfounded until someone played the version with the lyrics for me.
Nate, for you and others like us, here are the lyrics to the song I walked out to on my wedding day:
“One” by Metallica
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, wake me
Back in the womb, it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh, God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh, please God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see, absolute horror
I cannot live, I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body, my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech, taken my hearing
Taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
This is hilarious!
I identify so much with Nate when it comes to music! My sister and I are Swifties and I just don’t listen to the words and it kills my sister that I’m missing such deep lyrics ! Like I literally just listen to the mood and vibe and sing along to the sounds I hear !!
As a Chick-fil-A owner I can tell you that Dusty hit the nail on the head. No amount of sales can replace the feeling of knowing my employees get Sundays off. Truett once said it was the best business decision he ever made.
This should be the motivation episode! Take aways, don't allow yourself to get comfortable, falling on your face keep getting up and keep going, just keep going, ignore the nay sayers, bet on yourself, and don't be afraid to challenge the status quo.
When you guys mentioned Snopes and the 2 people looking up stuff it reminded me of a job I had back in college doing something similar. It was a competitor of Snopes but you could text questions to a number and get an answer quickly. We were given a time limit to answer it either based on your own knowledge of the question or you could google it. There was a website to log into and start having messages pop up to reply to, for each message you replied to you'd earn some money. Nothing substantial mind you, I believe it was like a quarter or something like that.
We were encouraged to be funny and witty with our replies but that snowballed into me insulting the people for asking such dumb questions.. even though I still used the service myself for random questions and facts. I haven't thought about that job in like 10 years, thanks for the memory jog!
Snopes is a complete disinformation platform run by a nefarious rich couple.
1:43:45 - amen! “Shoot for the moon - because even if you miss, you’ll land amongst the stars.”
Dusty, your Adam Sandler double “V” name alliteration discussion reminded me of the double “L” name alliteration in the Superman universe. Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lex Luther, and so on. I wonder if Sandler and his fellow writers are tipping their hat to this for fun.
If so it would be considered an Easter Egg. Which, by the way, would make a really neat episode topic for the pod. They only started calling them Easter Eggs in the last twenty years, but Hollywood has been sneaking in little hidden jokes and nods to other actors/films for years and years. Disney has its own depth on the topic with hidden Mickeys and many many others.
Speaking of knowing NOTHING about soccer and the keeper: My middle son, Bode, was a rising sophomore in summer of 2020. None of his usual sports were guaranteed. Many of his friends played soccer and suggested he try out for the team because they needed more keepers. He's very athletic and likes throwing his body around so we figured he'd make the team. But none of us knew anything about soccer. His first game, he wasn't sure how to return the ball, he looked at the ref and other team and said, "I'm new here." He played the second half of every game, and had a lot of saves but many of them were creative to say the least, like the time he used his head. Coach said, "Bode, great save. Never do that again." We spent the season in the bleachers listening to the other parents' collective gasping whenever Bode was at the goal. After the head save, I heard one dad say, "That kid scares the hell out of me." The JV team had a winning season, and Bode successfully tried a new sport with his homies. Couldn't be prouder. P.S. I thought they were called "stops" until just now, my husband said they're called "saves." Hey Bear, love y'all:)

On the day of my wedding, the wedding party rolled into a local dive bar between the ceremony and reception. It was like 2 PM, and we were in our tuxes and gowns. We ordered a couple pitchers and threw some money in the Jukebox. We didn't get 30 seconds into the first song before the bartender walked over and literally unplugged the jukebox🤣 The old-timers sitting around watching college softball on a Saturday afternoon apparently did not appreciate "Back that Azz Up"
Dude!!! The book fair was always awesome!!! Great memories!!!
A group of friends and I were on our way to our friends’ wedding and for some reason we were hooked on Take Me Home Country Roads. We listened to it the whole 2+ hour drive there. Anyway, the wedding ends and it’s time for the reception and we’re the first ones in and notice a blue tooth speaker. One of my friends connects to it and begins to play Take Me Home (just one time as a joke). Finally while the bride is opening gifts she looks up and says “Who keeps playing this?” That’s when our table starts cracking up. It had to have played at least 7 times with no one noticing.
People who are willing to help others will always win. That's why Dusty is where he is. We're having a good time! :)
We need a part 2. Athletes & gambling. Jordan, Barkley, John Daly, Pete Rose etc

Hey wow, nate was the guest picker and you guys talked about it here

Hotel California isn't about hell. The following excerpt explains what the band members said about it:
It’s a socio-political statement. It’s about darkness and light. And it’s about the self-destruction that comes from greed and hedonism.
Love you guys! Keep up the laughs!
If you’re still looking to name your new special, “no dictionary required” would be perfect. Actually, “community college knowledge” would be better but I already heard another comedian use that. Great show again!
The edge sorting case involving Phil Ivey was actually a Baccarat game in which Phil told the Borgata hotel that he was willing to gamble an insane amount of money if they promised to use a certain type of playing card and rotate the cards a certain way because he was superstitious. They agreed to the demands, but later sued (and won) to have their money returned after losing over $10 million dollars to him.
The judge ruled he was not cheating, but the house was cheated based on the demands giving an unfair advantage since the house did not have the proper info.
Just wanna do a little clarifying to Beatles research, Elon actually was not the founder of Tesla, Eberhard and Tarpenning founded Tesla in 2003 and Elon decided to buy the company out and in his contract he made a demand that he must be named CEO and given the title “Co-Founder” despite joining the company 5 years after its founding. Elon joined in Oct 2008, at which point Tesla was already seeing an increase in productivity so it would be more accurate to say Tesla took a gamble and Elon came into the picture as the payout.
People often confuse Musk for the founder when it’s just not the case
Precisely! Also, he was not the founder or inventor of PayPal either!
Check out the common sense skeptic channel. He exposes elongated muskrat.
I can't wait to hear the physics episode and see Nate and Dusty vs. Aaron and Breaststroke debate the existence of gravity
Did listening to “Dixie on my mind” help calm you down?
Sort of, I wasn’t in NYC long enough to hear the entire song. I wish it was longer like that raisin song.
I've been watching the show "alone" on netflix. 10 people are dropped off in the wilderness completely alone and are expected to survive as long as possible. In the show they are constantly saying "Hey Bear" as they move around trying to avoid running into grizzly bears. This got me thinking, who would survive the longest among the 4 of you and why would "barnum & bailey" be the first one out?
I think my brother andrew is like a Nate and Dusty hybrid. He didn’t go to college, works on an oil rig, talks casually and confidently about aliens and conspiracies, does jiu jitsu, and when I asked him how many guns he has he said “who are you, the government?” and didn’t say anything else.
I love the idea of letting the dogs vote
Hello folks! 23 mins past 4am. Here I am not dead!
Im just here for Aaron and Dusty trying to make each other crack during and ad read 😂
I always hear you guys came to Tulsa! So sad I’ve missed it. I’ve traveled to see Dusty twice and I will again. Hoping to see the rest of the BAND soon as well!
Hotel California is a metaphor for the music industry in Los Angeles
Even though there was minimal gambling talk on the ‘sode…. I find it was a fitting topic for this week. I placed my first sports bet ever on the Texas Alabama game. I put a big ten bucks on my Longhorns and WOW! I figured I was kissing my money goodbye, but that game was unbelievable and I almost had an extra $160 in my pocket. Guess I’ll keep my day job. Love you guys! Love the podcast! Hook ‘em Horns!
There are several theories about Hotel California. Three main ones are: Drugs/Alcohol addiction, Mental Asylum, and doing time in CA state prison. Each of those theories have corresponding lyrics in the song that can support each scenario.
As far as I know, the band refused to share their inspiration for creating the song, and its probably for the better.
All wrong. The band stated that the song is about the materialism of California and being sucked into the Hollywood musical entertainment beast system, and how the industry is basically like selling your soul for fame metaphorically, and it runs people into the ground.
The Batesville motto: Strive for Average.
The best thing about soccer… NO COMMERCIALS!
Even tho I’m an Austin FC fan, I love seeing support for the MLS (even if it is for Nashville SC). Love it Nate!
Love this! Hope you folks are well!
I cant wait to listen to "What's Up Pussycat" by Neil Diamond after this podcast is over.
I know the joke is always that Nate is dumb but when he talks about his career, the importance of not comparing yourself to others and his general outlook on how to live life, it's evident that he's very intelligent and grounded. I work in mental health and I wish my clients had the insight Nate does. I really resonate with Nate's view and some of my favourite phrases are "without challenge, there is no change" and "you don't grow when you're comfortable." He could have a side hustle as a life coach. On a side note if Bigtop ever has a special, I think he found his title: "I Strive to be Average."
Alright guys. The song is what’s new Pussycat by Tom Jones. Now that I’ve corrected you it’s story time… me and my friend did this at a pool hall and the waitress came over and got angry with us and threatened to kick us out so we played it one last time and immediately left
Everyone should help Nate by ceasing to send comments containing supererogatory words! I love you guys!
I'm planning on getting rid of my washing machine because Nate says just sit by a solo stove and I don't have to wash my clothes I'm really excited about all the space I'll save .
LMAO 😂😂
I’d really hate to see you guys stop giving your “opinions” on the show. Honestly, I’ve never heard any of you share something that was controversial or mean. Part of the reason we all listen is to get to know y’all better. Hearing your thoughts on different topics is fun. It allows us to feel like we’re having a conversation with you. Unfortunately, some people are just easily offended or looking for an argument. Don’t let them steal something from the show that most of us truly enjoy. In the end, all we want is to keep havin’ a good time.
Hey folks! I’m also a big soccer fan (particularly of World and Euro Cups). My dad got me into the sport in 2010 by showing me “who is regarded as the sexiest soccer player in the world” (his words)-Cristiano Ronaldo. It worked-I watched every game of that World Cup and haven’t missed one since.
I think Nate’s special should be call “something man of the year” something would be replaces with the right word but it goes with his whole thing. It could be simple man of the year even
At one point, Snopes was a husband and wife deciding what was true and what wasn’t on the interwebs.
People call me a conspiracy theorist when I say Snopes was a filthy rich couple that hosted a site which arbitrarily tells you what's false or not, and they have been wrong many times. It's almost like propaganda.
Great show at the Toledo zoo! Loved hearing another Christian kid talk about growing up being physically incapable of lying 😂
Would love to hear a Nateland episode on zoos. Because when the heck did we start putting animals behind glass and staring at them? 🥴
YES NATE! Soccer is phenomenal, you have a great USA star in Nashville in Walker Zimmerman to latch on to! You have to give the premier league a chance too, check out Pulisic with Chelsea and Leeds United has an American coach and 2 stars of the US national team Tyler Adams and Brendan Aaronson! Just like Danny Rojas said, "Futbol is Life!"
Nate and crew. If you have a Discount tire in your town they will top off your tires for free (just pull up in the designated area) or head to any new car dealership's service area as they too have free air regardless of where you got your car. Beats the old service station racket.
What's up Pussycat was Tom Jones. Neil Diamond sang Sweet Caroline. Of course, someone could have said Neil Diamond sang Barracuda and things will still flow pretty normally on the show. Best podcast!
This was a fun episode. How about the gamble that Dave Chappelle took on himself by walking away from the Chapelle Show? I'd say that one paid off.
Forget Nate, it looks like Ol’ Batesy is the true Greatest Average American.
Hotel California is about H addiction.
Circling back to Nate not listening to song lyrics, the song Hook by Blues Traveler is about exactly that. Basically he says if the tune is catchy enough you can say whatever you want. And then “the hook brings you back”. So don’t feel bad Nate, just proves you are The Greatest Average American.
Over 2 hours of heaven
I think for the fantasy football leagues you should put something up for the winner. Signed shirt, tickets to a show(probably not a breakfast show), or some other cool prize for the winner.
How about an episode on Superstitions?
The Mets recently had Timmy Trumpet do live walkout music for pitcher Edwin Diaz and the Mets immediately went on an 8 game losing streak. Jerry Seinfeld blamed it on “that stupid trumpet performance”, saying “Celebrating in season. We haven’t won anything yet. Bad mojo.” He then compared it to the Baha Men doing a live performance of Who Let the Dogs Out being responsible for the Mets losing the World Series in 2000.
With sports, and the world I general, being rife with superstitions, I think it’s be a fun episode.
After watching this I’m not sure I didn’t sit in a trailer with Dusty, tripping acid, and dissecting Pink Floyd.
Hotel California is about pushing off the horse
I haven't watched it yet but I BET this will be a good episode.
Hotel California is about someone with dreams of making it big coming to California and then never making it and wasting your life until you realize that it’s too late
Yeah everyone saying it's about drugs and the devil are wrong. It can be interpreted differently of course but it is indeed about the materialism of califonia and being a slave to the Industry and being stuck spinning your wheels trying to make a buck. Finally someone gets it!!!!!
@@wakenow7612 “It all started with Glenn Frey wanting to do something strange, just to see if he and the band could. So they turned to a hazy and nightmarish novel written by John Fowles in 1965, called The Magus, where a depressive yet eager young wanderer with nothing finds himself charmed by a wealthy Greek recluse whose powers of splendor and decadence end up detaching the young man from reality as he knows it, resulting in tragedy and loss….Like coming of age and the loss of innocence. Or the sparkling allure of golden age California’s dashing but dangerous lifestyle of cash and drugs.”
