Glad I could give Dusty an emotional rollercoaster! Also, my last name is pronounced like the letter G but hearing Dusty yell my name like Yee yee was worth the mispronunciation
I once had a guy at work sit in the stall next to me, with rather explosive number two. It was so bad the other people in the bathroom murmured and walked out. Just when I think it's all over and a hush falls in the room, I hear the crack of a soda can open and him just guzzling it down. The confidence of this man blows me away.
"You can't convince me that recycling is a real thing." I've been beating this drum for years. Nate is the messenger that America needs in times like these. Keep it up boys.
I was listening to Shane Gillis' podcast the other day and he said he went to see you work out your new hour. He said "I'm not kidding, Nate might be #1 in the country right now. Seriously funny". Not sure how much you listen to other comedians podcasts, but I frequently hear them giving you big props. Just wanted to throw a little encouragement your way, with how much Breakfast puts you down.
We'll boys I did it! I've listened to every episode of the Nateland podcast, but I listened to them... In reverse. I started with the newest episode at the time and continued on with the previous one until I finished them all. It has been an interesting experience starting off by knowing every inside joke, and then slowly learning the origins of them. This is easily my favorite podcast, keep up the good work boys!!
I've been doing the same! I'm currently on episode 55 in my backwards progress. I've done this with other podcasts before, I don't know why but there's something I like about watching it backwards
The way Aaron’s face changed when he realized what Brian meant when he said “companion” was beautiful. The immediate realization that all of these people thought they were a couple instantly hit him and he just said “Oh”. Little things like that is what makes this the best podcast around! Every week we are all just having a good time!
Nate: I like cran-apple Aaron: Cran-apple, what's that? Nate: It's Cranberry and Apple. Aaron .......yea I figured that much. The reason its my favorite podcast.
Nate getting on to Brian about saying Indian instead of Native American, and then 20 seconds later, assuming the “most complicated language in the world”, Navajo, is just them throwing rocks at each other’s head. 🤣🤣🤣
i could listen to an entire podcast of aaron just riffing on what kind of person he thinks dusty is. so far he has mentioned that dusty seems like the type of guy who uses the wind to tell direction, wears full pajamas with a sleeping hat and eats sugar cubes now and then instead of candy. aaronland, make it happen.
My husband refuses to rent dumpsters when we do any home renovation projects. Instead he says that the garbage pick up will take it. So for 7 weeks he would fill one garbage can with giant cement chunks from an old patio we tore up, an old bathroom countertop, and sinks. At one point my father-in-law slipped the garbage man a hundred bucks for the trouble. I hid inside for every trash pick up day.
REALLY Aaron??!! You kicked a guy out of a club in front of your mom and didn't say "You blew it buddy!" ?? I feel like you missed a golden opportunity. Love you guys!
The weight balance of a plane is vitally important! Many plane crashes were caused by unbalanced weight, or miscalculations in the weight! It’s worth the 45 minute wait!
Just wanted to share my own Southwest hack to prevent someone from sitting next to you. I choose an aisle seat in the back half of the plane then place my backpack in the middle seat. As people pass by looking for a seat I turn toward the middle seat and frantically look through my backpack like I lost something. I even start pulling stuff out of the bag to really sell it. The key is to completely avoid eye contact with others while also making it too much of a hassle for them to ask me if that seat is available. As soon as the attendants announce that everyone is boarded, I load everything back in my backpack and enjoy my comfy flight. It works every time. Wondering if y’all have any techniques you use?
If you ask my wife who my two favorite celebrities are, she’d tell you Nate Bargatze and Kyler Murray. So when Breadbasket asked who the greatest athlete to play for Arizona was, I was furious until Dusty saved the day. I guess since y’all pre-recorded the episode, y’all hadn’t yet watched Kyler’s INSANE plays to comeback against the Raiders this week? I was an assistant coach at Allen in Kyler’s senior year of HS football where he single-handedly brought us back to win every single time. 43-0 over three football seasons as the starting QB in the largest division in HS football, and he won 3 straight TX State Championships. On pure athletic ability alone, he’s on a league of his own. (First round draft MLB and NFL.) thanks dusty for being the common sense on the show
When Nate suggested playing patriotic music in the bathroom because it would make people want to stand up, I can attest to that exact thing. Early in my career, I was a substitute teacher and was subbing for a p.e. teacher. At the start of the day, I thought I should use the restroom before all the classes start rotating through. The morning announcements were going over the loudspeaker, and as soon as I dropped my pants, the Pledge of Allegiance started. I stopped mid-squat and stood back up . I was so conflicted - there was no one around me and I was alone in a stall, but I pulled my pants up and stood - right in the stall - with my hand over my heart and said the Pledge. I just seemed wrong to pee during the Pledge of Allegiance (during 'A Horse with No Name' would be no problem). Thanks for the laughs.
Dusty has never been so right about the Lowe's/ Home Depot bathrooms. I worked at a Lowe's right after college and the bathrooms were right next to the employee break room. Nothing better than eating your ham sandwich next to a blown up bathroom. Love the show guys, thanks for the laughs.
This podcast changed my life! All the positive talk about diet and quitting drinking. 2 months no drinks! Lost 9 pounds. Keep up the good work! From Moncton New Brunswick Canada !
I lived in AZ for 6 yrs and it was over 115 for the first 2 weeks we lived there. We've seen people cook eggs on their driveway and bake cookies in their car, but I think the craziest story I've heard happened just recently. My dad lives in Scottsdale and woke up during the night (11pm ish) to what sounded like books falling off a shelf. He got up and walked around and finally figured it out. When he opened the garage he noticed that the 12-pack of aluminum club soda cans had exploded. The fact it was that hot, at night, inside the garage, is so crazy. Love the show!
I live in Phoenix, going to the second show on Saturday! I vividly remember the big haboob you guys were seeing in the google image search. It's an interesting phenomenon because it produces really cool images and videos, but is ultimately underwhelming. We couldn't really see that one coming as it came from behind South Mountain. I was only a couple miles away as it rolled over the mountain, which was a visual unlike I've ever seen before or since. However, other than forcing us into a Denny's due to visibility being too limited to drive, the only damage it caused me was covering our porch couch in a layer of dust that it could never recover from.
Hey guys. Greetings from Norway. About the topic of fighting a bear, there was a guy called Troy James Hurtubise who decided to build a suit of armor strong enough to withstand a grizzly bear attack. There is a documentary of this on TH-cam called “Project Grizzly” Love the podcast, and the stand-up. Hope to see you on a Scandinavian tour soon.
I feel like my whole life just changed when I learned the recycle basket goes into the SAME bag!! I almost always have a tiny panic attack when I am forced to choose where to dispose of each item when I’m throwing something away. But next time I feel those looks of disapproval from someone who thinks I’m choosing wrong, I’m going to confidently announce, “It’s all the same-no shame!” 😎
I have also been on a weight loss journey and Nate's food problems segments resonated with me. I'm a short guy at 5'6 and got up to about 205lbs and am now back at 175, which was my original goal. It seemed so far away that I set it far but attainable. Now I think my line has probably moved to 155 or 150 because you realize how far past being in the right shape you went. You gain weight so slow over a long period of time so you don't realize how far past it you got. I just cheated while eating this and ate 1000 calories of chips so we all still have stuff we need to work on. Enjoy the cheat weekend Nate and I appreciate you inspiring me while I've been on a similar journey.
Good on ya brother. Keep up the effort. I had to start checking my calories about 5 years ago when I went from a physical job to a desk job. It's amazing what you find out about yourself when you start keeping track. Now I enjoy eating healthy and look forward to my workouts.
I went to a poor high school in TN and our football locker room had one toilet with no door. Everyone would use the bathroom before we went to the practice.. except one guy who would poop every day in the open toilet and talk to people as the went by! He either has the most confidence ever or is a psycho! Anyways, we’re still friends so time will tell.
My cousin works at a recycling plant and took me on a tour four years ago. It was great! They have a large processing area where glass is sorted and crushed, aluminum is compacted, and where they take old tires. The plant has a program which gives special needs adults an opportunity to work. It was a two hour tour to see everything.
Arizonan here. Fyi- Gila Monster is pronounced “heela”. Also yes I am aware of the law that water is free to any who ask. Dehydration can be a huge problem here. More importantly it seems those who need it know the law too. I am super excited to be going to Saturday’s taping in Phoenix!! It’s going to be great!
Had tickets to this weekend's taping of the special in Phoenix. On our way there, we got a call from our babysitter that our house was flooding so we had to turn around and go back. As a consolation, I suggested we listen to this week's podcast and at least get in the mood. My wife, who has never seen Nate perform standup, said "This is who we were going to see?". I laughed out loud and explained the live act is wildly better than the podcast (Although I love the podcast). Thanks for giving us a good laugh as always!
Hi Folks, Hey Bear! I believe Breadbox is referring to a “Note Pad.” As he said, “lined paper that you rip off.” What is a Note Pad ol’ Moldy Box. Love you guys, been listening since day 1 & Dusty is a phenomenal addition. Good luck on the special and the continued success Bears!
I saw Nate in Jacksonville, Oregon this year! There was a man and woman in front of us, the guy laughed about 6 times. That is through all 3 acts, Folks. At first, I was mad at him because the jokes were hilarious. Then, I was just sad for him because he must not have a sense of humor. After that, I was sad for his date. My group had a blast. So excited for Nate's new special.
THANK YOU NATE! The average human beings are not dumb. The one or two people taking comedians literally have an agenda. You all are hilarious and fun to listen to. Every single one of you are refreshing and enjoyable to hear. Keep on keepin on!
Noted: Brian Bates (and all comedians) don’t seem to like jokes told by non-comedians 😅 I have never heard Breakfast mad about anything until he talked about the Southwest employees.
Dusty talking about the Lowes/Home Depot bathroom is 1000% true. I used to work for Menards (the Midwest version of those stores) and contractors would take phone calls in the bathroom all the time. Speaking of Dusty I too was hesitant when I heard he was coming on as a co-host, but I now love what Dusty brings to the table.
I find it hilarious to imagine someone being asked for their testimony and they respond "Well, I was in a bar. Feeling lost, down on my life, I mean just real bad. Then out of nowhere Truckstop Jesus showed up and physically assaulted someone in the name of Christ. In that moment, I was saved." Love the podcast and the positive message you all spread. I'm glad your comedy and this podcast is in my life. Keep up the good work!
Right before getting on a plane I downloaded the newest episode of Nateland to listen to. I was so excited to see the episode was Arizona, which is where my now wife and I were flying out to to get married. Thanks for another awesome episode. I also didn’t fact check anything that was said and made sure to fill in the rest of our party with the Arizona fun facts you all provided. Hey bear!
Dusty Slay - I’m a glass artist - all glass isn’t the same. Glass has a coefficient of expansion and different kinds of glass have different COE’s. You can’t simply melt down all used glass to use it again. It’s a sweet thought but doesn’t work out that way.
Hello Nate, Aaron, Dusty, and Brattle-brig, Back in 2014 I took a group of students on a service trip to a Native American reservation in Fort Defiance, AZ. Arizona was not observing daylight savings, time but the reservation was. Fort Defiance is also right on the border of New Mexico (which we had to travel into throughout the week), which does observe daylight savings time. It was a week of utter chaos and confusion around what the correct time was as we traveled on the Res, and off the Res, and then into New Mexico time and time again throughout the week. Consistently having to add and subtract hours, and have "Who's on first?" conversations about what time someone was referring to when speaking.
I wonder if when Nate got contacted by Vuori to read ads for them he responded something like "I'd love to...but I need video of someone pronouncing it" I couldn't find vuori the first time I searched it because I kept spelling it veorri. Thank you Nate, DustyTown, Aaron, and Bryan Reynolds for the best start to my Wednesdays
When Nate talked about drinking calories it really hit home for me, for the better part of 2 decades I drank a 12 pack of regular soda a day, it took awhile to catch up to me, but in my early 40s it did. I don't know exactly how much weight I've lost as I didn't want to weigh myself toward the end, but I've added 3 holes to my belt (in the right direction) and the double xl shirts I bought to cover my gut now make me look ridiculous.. zero calorie drinks for the win! Great pod guys, come out to west Michigan sometime so I can buy tix
I've just been watching the peanut butter and potato chips episode buy flew over here because Dustys voice was missing and when I heard him here, its so soothing. Love all of your work. Nate is always so funny and Aaron too, but worth watching the podcast because there is so much of his laughter that would be missed if we were only hearing. There is an ASTOUNDING amount of build-up before his laughter emerges as sound. I love watching him giggle, makes my absolute day. Hi from Australia
The reason Smokey Mountain National Park is the most visited park is because there are no gates and a lot of the roads are used for through traffic. The park counts the cars that enter as 2 people. So if you live in the area and drive through the park for normal travel throughout the year, you are counted multiple times even if you never get out of your car.
There's nothing better than hearing Dusty talk about neighboring counties/cities (ie. Auburn) and giving descriptions of the people that live there! Being that me and my brothers are from Montgomery, I want to hear Aaron defend himself as best he can against Dusty's idea of a typical Montgomerian.
CranApple!! Hey Bear! After listening to the last 115 episodes and seeing Nate live in Long Beach last weekend I finally send you a note because of my favorite part of flying. CranApple. Nate I raise my little plastic airplane cup, full of dirty ice and cold CranApple juice. I never drink that juice unless I’m sitting on an ice cold plane (with pants, long sleeves, socks and shoes as a hope that my row partners do the same. Cover up people!) Cheers Folks! Keep doing whatever magic you found and God Bless. Can’t wait for #117.
Couldn't agree more with Nate about drinking a soda out of its original container. Gonna show this to my wife and maybe she'll understand finally why I drink straight from the 2 liter
In regard to the recycling discussion, around 25 years ago, I used to work for a very large engineering firm and they started a recycling program. It was for paper only. They issued each of us a separate recycling can and gave us a list of what to recycle and what to put in the regular garbage. You recycled newspaper, copy paper, etc. but not coated paper like magazines. Also included in the "do not recycle" list was "soiled toilet tissue". Did they have to include that item based on past experience?
We listened to this episode on the way home from our anniversary dinner. As soon as we walked in, I went straight to the bathroom and put on Horse with No Name so my wife would know what was happening in there! Also, as a family with 3 kids, I can assure you that even if there are doors to your bathroom, it’s never safe to assume you’ll get to do your business without someone’s eyes on you. Thanks for all the laughs!
Here's another fun fact about McDonald's in Arizona. The McDonald's in Sedona is the only one in the world with Turquoise arches. It was required by the town of Sedona, to keep with the landscape requirement. Looking forward to the show in Phoenix on Saturday! 🤗
I laughed so hard at ‘Fudruckers’ and rewound to listen and laugh again. They closed down the few in Northern Illinois. Was always my favorite place to go
We drove to from San Diego to Phoenix and made both shows. My goal was to meet Aaron, and we did spot him across the room during second show. By the end of the second show, we’d been at the theater for 7 hours, so rather than chase Aaron down for a “Hey Bear” we made a b-line for the exit. Sorry dude! By the way, Killer shows, Nate!
Nate had a lot of good zingers this episode. Loved it! Hope his shows in Phoenix all went well. Waiting in anticipation of when we can see the special!!
Aaron....ouch!!! Horse With No Name will never be the same for me, this was voted 'class song' when I was in high school, back in the dark ages. Actually, this is hilarious and I will always think about that song when using the bathroom. It (the song) really does need to be flushed anyhow, once and for all. Great podcast as always!
I am binge watching all the podcast and am on episode 116: Brian made a comment about paying or not paying for trash pick up. I live in Glocester Rhode Island. My town does not have trash pick up. We have to either pay for a private company to pick up the trash or go to the transfer station
Nate does not only suffer from dyslexia he also has these obsessions and compulsions that interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress, also known as OCD. The cup and soda thing just doesn't sound normal... anyway my wife and I went to see Nate in Thousand Oaks. Amazing show!
I got where he was coming from on the cup/drink thing. It's just not the same. I've poured a can of Coke into a McDonald's cup after finishing it and it just tasted weird.
I recycle because I feel horrible about all of the plastic. However, if you want to know what’s really happening, watch “The Story of Plastic” documentary (on Prime). It. Is. So Depressing.
I originally thought I’d be commenting that I saw Nate live for the first time in Long Beach last weekend and had such a great time, especially watching it with my older sister during the siblings bit. BUT after listening to this episode, “Horse with No Name” came on the radio as I was driving and all I could think of was Aaron’s public bathroom routine….sooooo I just want to say thanks for that fun association that I now have for all time. 👍🏻
Nathaniel - I know this was recorded a month ago but I’ll warn against losing too much. Several years back after my first daughter I, another 5’10.5” frame man weighed the most I had ever at 198. I saw a picture of myself and was disgusted. I proceeded to lose weight on healthy food and working out for about 120 days and dropped down to 160. I had so many people at work asking if I was ok and several asked if I had cancer or other diseases. Just as people who are large don’t respond well to comments neither does anyone else. I proceeded to start eating bad again and within 2 years found myself at 208, my newest most ever.
The people who think those lights were aliens crack me up. So you think these things have mastered space travel, have flown around earth for decades undetected, but sometimes they're just rolling around at night with their lights on, lol.
I caught the show in Vegas. I was disappointed that Breakfast wasn't an opener. Nick was funny but Brian is surprisingly funny and would have brought more of the "folksy" feel to the show. Any way love the show keep it up.
Had to shake my head at Bertie Boy pronouncing it "gilluh" instead of "heelah" for Gila monsters. Would be a little surprised to find out no one on this podcast has ever performed at one of the Gila River Casinos here around town, but judging by the fact that no one caught it, that might be the case.
I live in Central Illinois and nobody gets free garbage service. We not only pay for garbage pickup, but pay extra to get recycling picked up. It's almost like they'd rather not bother with it so they figure if you have to pay a bunch extra, you'll just throw everything in the garbage.
Born and raised in Yuma,AZ. Driving around for work (Ram Pest Control) listening to the Arizona episode, and today is payday, and Nate is in Phoenix this weekend, (mama, I can't believe it they did it (nate's voice). Christmas in September. Thanks guys Amazing show!!
For the love of God, please tell me Nate got a Chocolate Cake Shake from Portillos while you guys were here in Arizona! They literally blend chocolate cake and ice cream into a milkshake.
Nate: I'm going to be most worried about Global Warming. I'm focused on Global warming. Also Nate: Where did Lake Mead's water go? They never tell us. This is why this pod is the best!
This is the one where Nate thinks the hardest part of losing weight is getting down to the weight. Fast forward 40 or so episodes where he's gained it back. Keeping it off is the hardest part. Nate consistently sees the world through his current personal experience. I guess most of us do.
I think you should always read a comment like Ryan's in the beginning of a podcast because then as someone who grew up in Arizona whenever I cringe at things that are wrong I automatically feel like I am in the wrong because who would take these 4 jokers seriously!? You would really cut down on any criticism!!! Great episode, I love your banter!
I KID YOU NOT, walked into a bathroom about a week and a half ago in Texas and someone was playing horse with no name out loud on their phone from inside the stall. Kind of makes me wonder if it was Aaron, although I saw no indication that he was in Texas at that time. Hilarious conversation though. Whenever I have to go at someone’s house, I always turn on their bathtub if there’ no fan in the bathroom.😂

Glad I could give Dusty an emotional rollercoaster! Also, my last name is pronounced like the letter G but hearing Dusty yell my name like Yee yee was worth the mispronunciation
Aaron laughing at it killed me
I absolutely lost it in my cube when Dusty said, "Gee Gee"!!
Is it though
I once had a guy at work sit in the stall next to me, with rather explosive number two. It was so bad the other people in the bathroom murmured and walked out. Just when I think it's all over and a hush falls in the room, I hear the crack of a soda can open and him just guzzling it down. The confidence of this man blows me away.
"You can't convince me that recycling is a real thing." I've been beating this drum for years. Nate is the messenger that America needs in times like these. Keep it up boys.
💯 I only put stuff in my recycle because that crap takes up too much space in my trash can
I was listening to Shane Gillis' podcast the other day and he said he went to see you work out your new hour. He said "I'm not kidding, Nate might be #1 in the country right now. Seriously funny".
Not sure how much you listen to other comedians podcasts, but I frequently hear them giving you big props. Just wanted to throw a little encouragement your way, with how much Breakfast puts you down.
I heard this too. I watch way too many comedy pods and I agree nate is highly respected across the board. I love to see it.
We'll boys I did it! I've listened to every episode of the Nateland podcast, but I listened to them... In reverse. I started with the newest episode at the time and continued on with the previous one until I finished them all.

“You live a life where you don’t get to choose a bathroom, the bathroom chooses you.” HILARIOUS!

The reason its my favorite podcast.
Nate getting on to Brian about saying Indian instead of Native American, and then 20 seconds later, assuming the “most complicated language in the world”, Navajo, is just them throwing rocks at each other’s head. 🤣🤣🤣
hes a special man
Greatest average American ladies and gentlemen 😂 that’s why we love him 😭
I rewound the mumble of Barry Sanders at least three times, I laughed SO hard at that in the original episode
i could listen to an entire podcast of aaron just riffing on what kind of person he thinks dusty is. so far he has mentioned that dusty seems like the type of guy who uses the wind to tell direction, wears full pajamas with a sleeping hat and eats sugar cubes now and then instead of candy. aaronland, make it happen.
Brian just casually knows the entire Titanic soundtrack. 🤣
I need this to have more likes because I thought that was hilarious as well
@@lyciabond I'm surprised they let that slide...
I’m only about four minutes in and I’m already comparing Nate in a Bobcat to Michael Scott in a forklift in my head. 😂
The moment Dusty said "Gi Gi!" I thumbed up
My husband refuses to rent dumpsters when we do any home renovation projects. Instead he says that the garbage pick up will take it. So for 7 weeks he would fill one garbage can with giant cement chunks from an old patio we tore up, an old bathroom countertop, and sinks. At one point my father-in-law slipped the garbage man a hundred bucks for the trouble. I hid inside for every trash pick up day.
Hello Folks!
hey bear!
Hey bear
So glad Dusty is on the podcast, the 4 hosts really jive together and makes the podcast a real fun time to listen to
REALLY Aaron??!! You kicked a guy out of a club in front of your mom and didn't say "You blew it buddy!" ?? I feel like you missed a golden opportunity. Love you guys!
The weight balance of a plane is vitally important! Many plane crashes were caused by unbalanced weight, or miscalculations in the weight! It’s worth the 45 minute wait!
Breakfast we grew up calling spiral paper notebooks tablets too. I’m closer to Nate’s age and I’m with you on this one.
Just wanted to share my own Southwest hack to prevent someone from sitting next to you. I choose an aisle seat in the back half of the plane then place my backpack in the middle seat. As people pass by looking for a seat I turn toward the middle seat and frantically look through my backpack like I lost something. I even start pulling stuff out of the bag to really sell it.

I just seemed wrong to pee during the Pledge of Allegiance (during 'A Horse with No Name' would be no problem). Thanks for the laughs.
Nate's nonchalant use of the word "brazen" really caught me off guard
Aaron may be playing with fire by risking a pavlovian response in the car when the song horse with no name comes on the radio. : )
Dusty has never been so right about the Lowe's/ Home Depot bathrooms. I worked at a Lowe's right after college and the bathrooms were right next to the employee break room. Nothing better than eating your ham sandwich next to a blown up bathroom. Love the show guys, thanks for the laughs.

I just cheated while eating this and ate 1000 calories of chips so we all still have stuff we need to work on. Enjoy the cheat weekend Nate and I appreciate you inspiring me while I've been on a similar journey.
Good on ya brother. Keep up the effort. I had to start checking my calories about 5 years ago when I went from a physical job to a desk job. It's amazing what you find out about yourself when you start keeping track. Now I enjoy eating healthy and look forward to my workouts.
I went to a poor high school in TN and our football locker room had one toilet with no door. Everyone would use the bathroom before we went to the practice.. except one guy who would poop every day in the open toilet and talk to people as the went by! He either has the most confidence ever or is a psycho! Anyways, we’re still friends so time will tell.
My cousin works at a recycling plant and took me on a tour four years ago. It was great! They have a large processing area where glass is sorted and crushed, aluminum is compacted, and where they take old tires. The plant has a program which gives special needs adults an opportunity to work. It was a two hour tour to see everything.
Arizonan here. Fyi- Gila Monster is pronounced “heela”. Also yes I am aware of the law that water is free to any who ask. Dehydration can be a huge problem here. More importantly it seems those who need it know the law too. I am super excited to be going to Saturday’s taping in Phoenix!! It’s going to be great!
I live in the Gila valley and that pronunciation hurt a little bit😂
Had tickets to this weekend's taping of the special in Phoenix. On our way there, we got a call from our babysitter that our house was flooding so we had to turn around and go back. As a consolation, I suggested we listen to this week's podcast and at least get in the mood. My wife, who has never seen Nate perform standup, said "This is who we were going to see?". I laughed out loud and explained the live act is wildly better than the podcast (Although I love the podcast). Thanks for giving us a good laugh as always!
Hi Folks, Hey Bear! I believe Breadbox is referring to a “Note Pad.” As he said, “lined paper that you rip off.” What is a Note Pad ol’ Moldy Box. Love you guys, been listening since day 1 & Dusty is a phenomenal addition. Good luck on the special and the continued success Bears!
Bbbnnhhhhhyy❤
Notebook for me……. 👍🏽
I saw Nate in Jacksonville, Oregon this year! There was a man and woman in front of us, the guy laughed about 6 times. That is through all 3 acts, Folks. At first, I was mad at him because the jokes were hilarious. Then, I was just sad for him because he must not have a sense of humor. After that, I was sad for his date. My group had a blast. So excited for Nate's new special.
THANK YOU NATE! The average human beings are not dumb. The one or two people taking comedians literally have an agenda. You all are hilarious and fun to listen to. Every single one of you are refreshing and enjoyable to hear. Keep on keepin on!
We have watched every episode since week one and i’m telling ya this episode was one of the best. Thank y’all for keeping us laughing. “Gee Gee!”
So nice to see all the guys back together! I love this podcast- keep up the good work
Conducting business in the bathroom makes me think of Mr.Strickland on King of the Hill.
Gila is pronounced He-la. Dusty is spot on about the "moon crater". You guys are awesome!
Noted: Brian Bates (and all comedians) don’t seem to like jokes told by non-comedians 😅
I have never heard Breakfast mad about anything until he talked about the Southwest employees.
Dusty talking about the Lowes/Home Depot bathroom is 1000% true. I used to work for Menards (the Midwest version of those stores) and contractors would take phone calls in the bathroom all the time. Speaking of Dusty I too was hesitant when I heard he was coming on as a co-host, but I now love what Dusty brings to the table.
I find it hilarious to imagine someone being asked for their testimony and they respond "Well, I was in a bar. Feeling lost, down on my life, I mean just real bad. Then out of nowhere Truckstop Jesus showed up and physically assaulted someone in the name of Christ. In that moment, I was saved."
Love the podcast and the positive message you all spread. I'm glad your comedy and this podcast is in my life. Keep up the good work!
Right before getting on a plane I downloaded the newest episode of Nateland to listen to. I was so excited to see the episode was Arizona, which is where my now wife and I were flying out to to get married. Thanks for another awesome episode. I also didn’t fact check anything that was said and made sure to fill in the rest of our party with the Arizona fun facts you all provided. Hey bear!
Just got home from the show in Phoenix, drove up from Tucson and it’s 2am. Awesome show and hope all goes well with the special!
Dusty Slay - I’m a glass artist - all glass isn’t the same. Glass has a coefficient of expansion and different kinds of glass have different COE’s. You can’t simply melt down all used glass to use it again. It’s a sweet thought but doesn’t work out that way.
Hello Nate, Aaron, Dusty, and Brattle-brig,
Back in 2014 I took a group of students on a service trip to a Native American reservation in Fort Defiance, AZ. Arizona was not observing daylight savings, time but the reservation was. Fort Defiance is also right on the border of New Mexico (which we had to travel into throughout the week), which does observe daylight savings time. It was a week of utter chaos and confusion around what the correct time was as we traveled on the Res, and off the Res, and then into New Mexico time and time again throughout the week. Consistently having to add and subtract hours, and have "Who's on first?" conversations about what time someone was referring to when speaking.
I wonder if when Nate got contacted by Vuori to read ads for them he responded something like "I'd love to...but I need video of someone pronouncing it"
I couldn't find vuori the first time I searched it because I kept spelling it veorri. Thank you Nate, DustyTown, Aaron, and Bryan Reynolds for the best start to my Wednesdays
The Dusty/Nate combo makes this my favorite podcast
I so excited for Saturday night! FRONT ROW SEATS
When Nate talked about drinking calories it really hit home for me, for the better part of 2 decades I drank a 12 pack of regular soda a day, it took awhile to catch up to me, but in my early 40s it did. I don't know exactly how much weight I've lost as I didn't want to weigh myself toward the end, but I've added 3 holes to my belt (in the right direction) and the double xl shirts I bought to cover my gut now make me look ridiculous.. zero calorie drinks for the win! Great pod guys, come out to west Michigan sometime so I can buy tix
Can't wait for the filming of the special this weekend! See you at Saturday's show!
ITS SOOOO NICE THAT NATE INVITED BREAKFAST, DUSTY AND AARON TO HIS PHX TAPING
Omg, biscuit breakfast sandwich Bates is one of the reasons I keep watching. Somehow he has such a cute little boy face. Adorable 💖
Gee Gee is the new folks call!
CHOCTAW CODE TALKERS! Fascinating story!
I've just been watching the peanut butter and potato chips episode buy flew over here because Dustys voice was missing and when I heard him here, its so soothing. Love all of your work. Nate is always so funny and Aaron too, but worth watching the podcast because there is so much of his laughter that would be missed if we were only hearing. There is an ASTOUNDING amount of build-up before his laughter emerges as sound. I love watching him giggle, makes my absolute day. Hi from Australia
The reason Smokey Mountain National Park is the most visited park is because there are no gates and a lot of the roads are used for through traffic. The park counts the cars that enter as 2 people. So if you live in the area and drive through the park for normal travel throughout the year, you are counted multiple times even if you never get out of your car.
I thought that might be the case when they said it... thanks for confirming.
There's nothing better than hearing Dusty talk about neighboring counties/cities (ie. Auburn) and giving descriptions of the people that live there! Being that me and my brothers are from Montgomery, I want to hear Aaron defend himself as best he can against Dusty's idea of a typical Montgomerian.
CranApple!! Hey Bear! After listening to the last 115 episodes and seeing Nate live in Long Beach last weekend I finally send you a note because of my favorite part of flying. CranApple. Nate I raise my little plastic airplane cup, full of dirty ice and cold CranApple juice. I never drink that juice unless I’m sitting on an ice cold plane (with pants, long sleeves, socks and shoes as a hope that my row partners do the same. Cover up people!) Cheers Folks! Keep doing whatever magic you found and God Bless. Can’t wait for #117.
It’s nice to know that Nate wears his golf pants outside
We’re doin it! Drove from Cal. to see the first show in Phoenix…sitting in our hotel room shopping tix for the second show too! Let’s Go Bear!
I'm from Arizona so I loved you guys talking about my state.
Couldn't agree more with Nate about drinking a soda out of its original container. Gonna show this to my wife and maybe she'll understand finally why I drink straight from the 2 liter
I’d love to know old dusty thinks the earth is- he gives off vibes of being a young earth creationist and I’m here for it
Watching Breaking Bad for the first time and "Horse With No Name" is the first thing to play in this episode. Thanks Aaron you blew it!
In regard to the recycling discussion, around 25 years ago, I used to work for a very large engineering firm and they started a recycling program. It was for paper only. They issued each of us a separate recycling can and gave us a list of what to recycle and what to put in the regular garbage. You recycled newspaper, copy paper, etc. but not coated paper like magazines. Also included in the "do not recycle" list was "soiled toilet tissue". Did they have to include that item based on past experience?
We listened to this episode on the way home from our anniversary dinner. As soon as we walked in, I went straight to the bathroom and put on Horse with No Name so my wife would know what was happening in there!
Also, as a family with 3 kids, I can assure you that even if there are doors to your bathroom, it’s never safe to assume you’ll get to do your business without someone’s eyes on you. Thanks for all the laughs!
Here's another fun fact about McDonald's in Arizona. The McDonald's in Sedona is the only one in the world with Turquoise arches. It was required by the town of Sedona, to keep with the landscape requirement.
Looking forward to the show in Phoenix on Saturday! 🤗
" Bergatze " -
Navajo for...
" he who drinks from one cup "
I laughed so hard at ‘Fudruckers’ and rewound to listen and laugh again. They closed down the few in Northern Illinois. Was always my favorite place to go
Ive been listening for too gosh darn long, even being clean. Nate and i want to seriously thankyou
We drove to from San Diego to Phoenix and made both shows. My goal was to meet Aaron, and we did spot him across the room during second show. By the end of the second show, we’d been at the theater for 7 hours, so rather than chase Aaron down for a “Hey Bear” we made a b-line for the exit. Sorry dude! By the way, Killer shows, Nate!
I LOVE y’all, but my mister can’t stand this pod. He doesn’t realize I’ve trained him to say “Hey Bear”. Winning! Thanks for the guffaws weekly. ❤
Nate had a lot of good zingers this episode. Loved it! Hope his shows in Phoenix all went well. Waiting in anticipation of when we can see the special!!
I like the bathrooms in Nashville… guy stands behind you waiting to sell you a Kit Kat… and yes dusty, love the song in color
Aaron....ouch!!! Horse With No Name will never be the same for me, this was voted 'class song' when I was in high school, back in the dark ages. Actually, this is hilarious and I will always think about that song when using the bathroom. It (the song) really does need to be flushed anyhow, once and for all.
Great podcast as always!
I am binge watching all the podcast and am on episode 116: Brian made a comment about paying or not paying for trash pick up. I live in Glocester Rhode Island. My town does not have trash pick up. We have to either pay for a private company to pick up the trash or go to the transfer station
Nate does not only suffer from dyslexia he also has these obsessions and compulsions that interfere with daily activities and cause significant distress, also known as OCD. The cup and soda thing just doesn't sound normal... anyway my wife and I went to see Nate in Thousand Oaks. Amazing show!
I got where he was coming from on the cup/drink thing. It's just not the same. I've poured a can of Coke into a McDonald's cup after finishing it and it just tasted weird.
"Hay Bale!" had me laughing out loud! Surprised that didn't get a stronger reaction from the podmates.
I recycle because I feel horrible about all of the plastic. However, if you want to know what’s really happening, watch “The Story of Plastic” documentary (on Prime). It. Is. So Depressing.
Been waiting to see Nate here in Phoenix. Gave up. Bought tickets in Casper, Wyoming out of all places.Now he’s recording a special here in Phoenix!
Loved the bear survival advice😋 Works for alligators too🤣
I originally thought I’d be commenting that I saw Nate live for the first time in Long Beach last weekend and had such a great time, especially watching it with my older sister during the siblings bit. BUT after listening to this episode, “Horse with No Name” came on the radio as I was driving and all I could think of was Aaron’s public bathroom routine….sooooo I just want to say thanks for that fun association that I now have for all time. 👍🏻
Nathaniel - I know this was recorded a month ago but I’ll warn against losing too much. Several years back after my first daughter I, another 5’10.5” frame man weighed the most I had ever at 198. I saw a picture of myself and was disgusted. I proceeded to lose weight on healthy food and working out for about 120 days and dropped down to 160. I had so many people at work asking if I was ok and several asked if I had cancer or other diseases.
Just as people who are large don’t respond well to comments neither does anyone else. I proceeded to start eating bad again and within 2 years found myself at 208, my newest most ever.
Best joke of the episode comes from breakfast!! “They look at you and your companion like, ‘oh, these guys’” lol 😂
The people who think those lights were aliens crack me up. So you think these things have mastered space travel, have flown around earth for decades undetected, but sometimes they're just rolling around at night with their lights on, lol.
I caught the show in Vegas. I was disappointed that Breakfast wasn't an opener. Nick was funny but Brian is surprisingly funny and would have brought more of the "folksy" feel to the show. Any way love the show keep it up.
Nothing like waking up to see the guys are about to do an episode on your home state!
Had to shake my head at Bertie Boy pronouncing it "gilluh" instead of "heelah" for Gila monsters. Would be a little surprised to find out no one on this podcast has ever performed at one of the Gila River Casinos here around town, but judging by the fact that no one caught it, that might be the case.
I live in Central Illinois and nobody gets free garbage service. We not only pay for garbage pickup, but pay extra to get recycling picked up. It's almost like they'd rather not bother with it so they figure if you have to pay a bunch extra, you'll just throw everything in the garbage.
Born and raised in Yuma,AZ. Driving around for work (Ram Pest Control) listening to the Arizona episode, and today is payday, and Nate is in Phoenix this weekend, (mama, I can't believe it they did it (nate's voice). Christmas in September. Thanks guys Amazing show!!
For the love of God, please tell me Nate got a Chocolate Cake Shake from Portillos while you guys were here in Arizona! They literally blend chocolate cake and ice cream into a milkshake.
Nate: I'm going to be most worried about Global Warming. I'm focused on Global warming.
Also Nate: Where did Lake Mead's water go? They never tell us. This is why this pod is the best!
This is the one where Nate thinks the hardest part of losing weight is getting down to the weight. Fast forward 40 or so episodes where he's gained it back. Keeping it off is the hardest part. Nate consistently sees the world through his current personal experience. I guess most of us do.
I think you should always read a comment like Ryan's in the beginning of a podcast because then as someone who grew up in Arizona whenever I cringe at things that are wrong I automatically feel like I am in the wrong because who would take these 4 jokers seriously!?
You would really cut down on any criticism!!!
Great episode, I love your banter!
I KID YOU NOT, walked into a bathroom about a week and a half ago in Texas and someone was playing horse with no name out loud on their phone from inside the stall. Kind of makes me wonder if it was Aaron, although I saw no indication that he was in Texas at that time. Hilarious conversation though. Whenever I have to go at someone’s house, I always turn on their bathtub if there’ no fan in the bathroom.😂
