“Crockpot comedy” was perfect. I recently recommended this podcast to my mom. In trying to sell it, I told her y’all were finally hitting your stride. She then questioned why it took over 100 episodes. Been watching since episode #8!
So good to have the B.A.N.D back together. We’ve had some ups and downs with some absences and guests but I’m so used to the flow of you 4 it just doesn’t seem right to not have all of you together.
The conversation around SpaceX's rocket launching and landing was peak Nateland! I love how Nate went on a rant about how sometimes you have to just admit that you're wrong in response to Aaron and then it turned out that Aaron was EXACTLY correct. 😂
Never forget Nate always looks good for a guy that used to be 300 pounds. Your fluctuating weight loss is why you truly are the Greatest Average American. A real man of the people!!
I am a 67 year old female, but I just love listening and watching the 4 of you. I really want to comment on the losing weight issue. I have done all the diets. ALL OF THEM. I lose the weight and it slowly comes back on. Right now I'm doing intemittent fasting (the 16/8) and losing 1 to 2 pounds a week and after the first couple of weeks, it's super easy.....and I have given up NOTHING! I figure if I can lose 52 pounds in one year, I'm good. Also, Nate I had to laugh at my husband the other day when he said let's do all our errands "in one fell swoop". Can you tell he's a fan too?
Hello folks and Hey Balthazar! I’m a pretty sizable guy. I’m 6’2” and easily 315lbs. About 15 minutes into todays podcast, right as you guys were talking about how you need to have a better relationship with food and it can be a hard habit to break, I bumped into my steering wheel and spilled my gas station biscuits and gravy all over the cup holders and center console of my truck. I think that was my wake up call to try and form a better relationship with food and break the biscuit and gravy before work habit!
This is the only podcast I don't fast forward through the ad reads. You guys do so well at making ad reads fun! I'm sure the companies really appreciate that!
Looking at Kardye West’s AI illustration of the crew as babies, Dusty says, “I love how Brian is not really a baby.” But no one mentions that baby Dusty has a mustache and beard. Classic Nateland. Love you guys!
It’s great to see Breakfast finally has a talent for the show. Aaron is the best ad reader, Dusty’s callbacks are quick and funny, Nate refuses to let his dyslexia stop him from reading comments and now Breakfast is killing it with his segues. The show is better than ever, keep up the good work.
The first 15 mins hit hard as someone struggling with sugar addiction and almost 6 years sober.. it's so similar. Then when Nate said that food shouldn't be the fun, food is the fuel to go have fun. wow. That's exactly what alcohol was for me too. I thought I needed it for fun, that it was fun. Now I know that I don't need it, life is much better without it and I am happier and more confident than I ever was drinking. Now if I can kick this sugar habit, things would be great!
Hello Folks! And Happy Belated Birthday, Nate! I just started listening to the podcast a few months ago and I’m trying to cram in as many episodes as I can, bouncing from old to new. You guys make my day go by so much faster and you put a smile on my face. I don't really like pranks because I don't like getting pranked… I’m pretty tender-hearted. - When my big brother was a senior in high school, his friend called for me from the driveway. I thought it would be a Romeo and Juliet moment as I came to the window of my second story bedroom, but instead he mooned me. It broke my 14 yr old heart. - My orthodontist wired my mouth shut at an appointment one time as a prank. I had a mild panic attack, but he cut the wires before I left. So, when he told me on April Fools Day that I was getting my braces off after 4 and a half years, I didn’t believe him. I cried tears of joy. - My son likes to seek me out just to fart on me. He will run from whatever room he’s in or come inside to “hug” me, then turns around, lets one go, and runs away laughing. It still hurts my feelings! He's 11 and has been doing this since he could walk. Keep spreading kindness, boys. And Nate, thank you for adding another show in Springfield, IL! My husband and I are looking forward to a rare date night. Sending much love your way ❤
I’m almost caught up to you guys! You probably don’t read the comments on past shows but I wanted to add a cupcake note. My 30 year old daughter taught me to split the cupcake in half, flip the top upside down so the icing is in the middle, and eat it like a sandwich. Not as messy and it’s the only time I’ve ever eaten an entire cupcake! Try it! It’s great! Great show!
I absolutely loved listening to Dusty's commentary during the POV rocket launch video. I can't show my husband anything that I think is cool because he'll sit and debunk it the same way. I hate it and love it at the same time. I'm too gullible for my own good. I think Nic and I would be good friends. Also, Happy Birthday, Nate!
You guys crack me up! The whole time Aaron is searching for proof that the rocket returns quickly there is an actual timer running at the bottom of the video he had pulled up showing the rocket returning to the pad. Hilarious!
I’m currently a youth pastor and was a high school math teacher before that. One of my favorite parts of both jobs is messing with the minds of teenagers. One day, a girl walks into my math class talking about the Garth Brooks concert she had gone to over the weekend. I say, “Who is Garth Brooks?” She goes, “He’s a really famous country singer. You seriously don’t know who he is?” I go, “Nope, sorry.” Dumbfounded, she begins to tell me all about his music. Eventually I say, “Well, I guess I’m just standing outside the fire on this one.” She goes, “THAT’S ONE OF HIS SONGS!” I’m like, “No way, seriously!? That’s crazy. What are the odds?” So she talks for a few more minutes about Garth Brooks, then it’s time to get started with class. To wrap up the Garth conversation, I say, “Well, the thunder rolls.” Again, she freaks out. “THAT’S ANOTHER ONE OF HIS SONGS!” Everyone in the class knew I was messing with her, except her. Pretty sure she never figured it out. It was great.
Nate's confession of the situation he was facing with his weight loss journey and going to Red Rocks broke my heart for him and hit sooo close to home... I lost 120 pounds and kept it off for 8 years... had a couple of really bad years and now it's all back, only harder to lose now that I'm older. Heartbreaking!
My friend’s brother had the best senior prank. He and his friends brought 3 chickens to school and numbered them 1, 2, & 4. So the whole day people were looking for the “3rd” chicken. Those guys were legends.
I liked when BB Gun Bates says "They went from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, we all know that" and Nate says smugly "Everybody knows that." Indeed, I know that because Nateland Podcast episode 28. This is a _learning_ podcast.
Just saw Nate with my girlfriend in Raleigh and it was phenomenal . She was weirded out a bit at first considering I am Latino and she is Indian and walking to our seats some guy behind us said real loud “Learn the goddamn language” . We were talking to each other in English and I turned around to make eye contact with the guy who just looked at me and her weird …. When Dustin came on and asked if there were any Muslims in the house , she was the solitary “WOO” in the crowd … thankfully , the show was so amazing still and we both felt so comfortable laughing our hearts out , that we ended the night with huge smiles on our faces ! Thanks Nate and thanks to Mr Bargatze who might be my girlfriends favorite magician ever now , you guys are the best .!
Hey Bear: You looked great at 160 in Hello World (watched it 5x already). But at 185, Dude, did you ever meet a donut you didn’t like? Yes, you CAN drop the extra tonnage before Red Rocks (fab venue, BTW!). Get back to regular running and eat healthy foods. Make up your mind to be 160 before RR concert. Don’t think of it as dieting. Think of it as healthy eating. You’re making bank these days, so hire a nutritionist. I know people who’ve lost weight by eating more food - the right food at the right time in the right amount. Warning, guilt trip coming: Don’t do it for you, do it for those two in your Girl World. Part of treasuring them is treasuring the health God gave you. Be a faithful steward of your body. You will feel better physically, mentally and spiritually. Do it! .... Love your comedy. It ain't crazeee. It's dryly cerebral, the best kind. Happy Birthday!
the pre-comment banter this week was one of my favorites so far!! i loved nate’s vulnerability and honesty around his weight and food addiction struggles because it really is so hard!! as someone who has had their weight fluctuate quite a bit over the years, i found that whole conversation very relatable. a lot of public figures don’t acknowledge or address those challenges, so i appreciate you guys keeping it human. i also 100% do not believe that dusty washed his hands 😂
Prayers, hugs and hope for yall in Nashville area. I hope we can all find a way to love each other, accept each other, realize we all have flaws, we all have something to offer and life will so much better if we can be honest, open and forgiving with each other.
The third time of dusty asking “but where does it go?” About the rocket launch made me lose it. Love listening to this podcast on my way home from being a nurse. Just the type of nonsense I need to hear to wind down
I might be cutting my sister out. She told me this morning she loved Nate's specials but "doesn't get the podcast." I told her give it time. You'll figure it out eventually or maybe not at all but then you can't live without it.
As always with this amazing crew, listening to y'all discuss a topic I'm knowledgeable about is quite painful but always entertaining! About the rocket taking off and coming back, SpaceX has 2 kinds of rockets. The one Nate saw was a Falcon 9, it takes off from Florida but then the booster (what you guys call "rocket", you could name it the "first engine" to make it easier) lands far off land on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean so Nate couldn't have seen it, even if he had waited for 9 minutes. The other rocket SpaceX has is the Falcon Heavy and these boosters come back down at Cape Canaveral where it launched from but they only use it once every few years. And to answer Bubble Juice's question, the top part of the rocket keeps going up because it also has an engine (you could call that the "second engine")! The big one that lands is only the first engine of the rocket and is there to give the whole thing enough power to go up towards space before it detaches and comes back, leaving the payload on its way with its smaller engine.
Freshman year in college, I was the only non-athlete on my dorm floor that was full of football players. The people next door always had a fan in their window because the dorm didnt have AC. My roommate was always asleep at weird hours so I took his baby powder and squeezed it out the window into the neighbors window with a fan and it sucked it all in. I could hear them coughing and rushing out in the hall. I'd jump in bed and pretend to sleep and theyd come running in and wake up my roommate and thought he was pretending to sleep. I did this at least once a week for a month or two before they caught on that it was me. I wasn't a football player so they never suspected me. They thought it was awesome and we ended up pranking most people in the hall cause no knew me since I wasnt on the team, so I was unassuming and I could get by with a lot! Great year!!
Hey y’all, my wife and I had an UNbelievable time at the show in Raleigh! It was a surreal moment when Nate’s dad got emotional and told us it was the biggest crowd y’all had performed for. Nate, please tell me that hour will be taped because I think it was your funniest yet!
One of the best pranks I’ve ever heard done was a radio show (Free Beer and Hot Wings) that talked about an Ivy League study, saying only geniuses or extremely high IQ people can hear this specific sound frequency. Then they played five seconds of radio silence. The amount of callers and textures to the show that said they had to pull over because it was so loud or that their ears hurt and they were forced to shut off the radio was just pure gold. They broke the news to the listeners later and said that they didn’t play anything just to get the reaction but some people still double down and said they could hear something.
The best prank I play on students is showing a video about North Carolina's failing marshmallow crop. A small portion of the class usually falls for it. Once, it was even a kid who lived on a farm. I use that video to talk about the importance of finding good sources for research. I'll go proofread this now.
When I was in high school, our senior pranks would be against our homecoming rivals. The seniors from our rival school took a small yellow school bus, cut it in half, wrapped it around a tree in our quad and welded it together. For our comeback, we had put 500 lbs of manure into there brand new pool.
From Michelle Barry ...Hello Guys.. Nate, so nice to know men feel "heart-broken" when they gain weight, too. Don't worry the 185 isn't real; you just over-indulged on bday cupcakes. You've probably lost 5 lbs by now.On another note, you guys are almost too nice to be doing a segment on pranks! I enjoy all y'all and love Tennessee.. from a Massachusetts fan who used to cross the "border" into Rhode Island for work.
I'm in my mid 50s and when Aaron said having old "before" photos on your phone that you've done nothing with... I about crashed my car laughing. 😅 talk about observational comedy, there is a comedy bit in that comment because there are a lot of us that have said " here we go!" ... and nothin' 🤣
On the topic of Nate regretting not letting John get into the wrong car... my wife and I were near our friend's apartment complex and she wanted to pop in. I HIGHLY encouraged it...after her knocking several times they were unfortunately not there...because they moved across town and she forgot. I just wish the new tenants would have answered just to see that exchange! April Fools Day will also be 16 yrs being together & Nate's past Wilmington, NC show was our baby moon for our first, so we're doing something right...we laugh together everyday...thanks for being a part of it!
Nate, you read Allen Carr’s book to help you quit drinking. He has a book on quitting sugar as well. We have to renew our mind to the place we no longer desire the sugar. You can do it!
You know I have watched Nate for years and started podcast about 8months ago. I knew Dusty from Neflix segment but I never watched Brian or Aaron's comedy until recently. You know what not bad, wasn't sure how much clean comedy I would like but when your good you dont even notice its "clean". I think more people if they haven't should also give them a try, they are getting better all time.
The “would you look at that” guy Dusty mentions is earl dibbles jr. He’s hilarious. I like the “look at that”videos and the ones where he says made up words in a conversation and people are just so confused 😂
Good morning, guys. Nate, I have never had more fun than introducing your humor via Hello World to my 40 year old nephew in law and my 10 year old great-nephew, Rayce. Rayce was screaming with laughter and my nephew in law’s name is DEREK, so that part was WAY fun!!! Sorry I missed you in Tallahassee! Keep up the good work, guys!
Why not ask Dusty how he stopped drinking and smoking! A food addiction is no different! Or ask Aaron how he lost his weight! There are experiences to gain from sitting right there!
I remember my senior year of high school, my class let a chicken run around the school and my principal caught him. He brought the chicken to the auditorium for our senior assembly and named him “Bob the chicken”. Our class never got in trouble because our principal was retiring that year. Love the podcast and I’m excited to see Nate in Hershey!
I use to wait tables. One time a new bus boy got hired and I introduced myself and asked him how things were going. 2 hours later I repeated this. I then had another server tell him I had short term memory loss. I kept this up every shift for 6 months until I quit never telling him. I told Him to watch this episode of nateland in hopes that he’ll learn the truth in true nix novicki style.
I was just reminded of when I pranked both my little brother and my pastor during an Easter service 10 years ago. During the sermon my pastor very somberly asked the rhetorical question, “why did Jesus die on the cross?” In a moment of poor judgement I nudged my little brother and whispered to him to say “to get to the other side!” The little guy blurted it out as loudly as he could and stopped the message dead in its tracks. The pastor was very gracious with us afterwards, but I haven’t felt as happy and guilty in one moment as that Sunday.
As someone who has worked for Men's Wearhouse for MANY years, we are a part of lots of practical jokes that groomsmen like to play. My favorite was when 5 grown men paid hundreds of extra dollars to rent "outrageously wrong" wedding tuxedos just so they could prank the bride at the rehearsal dinner. It's usually fun and I'm totally here for it.
Let it be known that we all love you guys the way you are. The fact that Nate gained back a few pounds after the special taping is completely understandable. It just makes me wonder how long it would take for Aaron to get down to 160 lbs before a special taping. Meanwhile, Dusty looks like he's preparing for a summer movie roll about the younger days of a southern born Santa Claus. Love the pod and keep us laughing!
I just pranked my wife on April Fools by purchasing a "Men's" bathroom sign and putting it on our bathroom door. Our only bathroom door. Well worth the 98 cents I spent.
Wow, Aaron's story about how his mom cleaned up the TP prank before the pranksters came back around is EXACTLY what I did (but just once). A friend of my daughter's TP'd the house and trees. One of my other daughters noticed it and told me. I quickly grabbed a broomstick and was able to get every single piece down in record time. Crucial point: It was about 10 minutes before a massive downpour, which would've made the TP prank a "masterpiece" as the wet TP would've stuck to everything. I knew they'd come back after the rain to see their masterpiece, so I waited by the window with lights off. Sure enough, they did come back. They drove by very slowly... even stopped for a second... then drove on. Chalk one up for the old man... and several for Mrs Weber! Love this podcast!
Big fan here. When I saw the subject this week my eyes lit up! I was arrested the morning of April Fools my Senior Year of High School during morning family Bible study. Small town, my dad was a Bishop in our church, and I snuck out, picked up my friends, and went to the school. The idea of our prank was to chain the doors of the school shut from the inside, and we hoped that school would get cancelled the following day because nobody would be able to get in. Instead I got suspended for a week and had to do 20 hours of community service. They caught me because I was driving the Bishop's car and parked at a local bar. A cop saw the car that night, recognized it was out of place, and called my dad to come and get it. When the teachers couldn't get into the school the next day they called the cops, and the cops did the math and came knocking at my house. The school then invested in security cameras, and my prank now lives on in infamy. How was I supposed to know to not park at a bar?
In high school, two of my friends had the same car, like an old Carola or something. Somehow, their keys worked on each other's car. One day at lunch, one of them used their key to move the others car to a completely different part of the parking lot so when the other friend came out for his lunch the car was gone. Still makes me laugh 15 years later
Aaron is 100% correct. The rocket booster detaches as it reaches a specific altitude. The booster comes back down and lands on the ground. The "top half" of the rocket with the payload continues into space to deliver the satellites.
Hello folks and hey brrry snnndrs! Love the podcast and have spent weeks going back and watching old episodes. When Nate or Dusty make Aaron laugh so hard he has to back away from the mic is awesome! What does Bates Motel do? Just kidding! Y’all are all awesome! Keep it up!
Does the gang know that spring doesn’t begin in April all over the world? In the Southern Hemisphere Spring starts in September. So if the new year started at the start of spring, there’d still be April fools.
The practical joke episode takes a hard right talking about a rocket taking off and landing. I could only imagine the practical joke was Dusty going along with the conversation as if the rocket actually goes into “outer space”.
Hello folks! Just wondering if Nate, bootleg, Aaron and Dusty got a chance to watch the Tribute video I made for Nate and the whole show? A Spokesperson For Earth. Been a fan since episode 1! Hope you can spot all the references and Easter eggs. Can’t wait to see Nate tomorrow at his show in Raleigh!
Hate to break it to you Nate, but Julian spilled the beans about your birthday. My husband and I actually went to your show for his birthday present which was the next day. So when we learned it was your birthday we freaked out, as did the entire crowd. Learning that it was your birthday made the show even better. However, there were some girls in front of us at the show that would not stop talking and we wish Aaron was there to tell them “enough”. Love the podcast!
Aaron and Nate wondering how long the return of the rocket takes while looking at a video with a literal giant timer at the bottom.... #WelcomeToNateland
One of the best senior pranks I’ve heard of - seniors in a farm town let 4 pigs loose in the school. But before they let them loose, they rubbed them with grease (so they were hard to catch) and numbered them with marker with #1, #2, #3, and #5 - Eric Costanzo (descendent of the Costanzo mafia)
I feel for Nate's weight loss struggle. I got into great shape for my wedding two years ago(155 lbs) and immediately after my honeymoon, I gained all the weight back (184 lbs). I've been trying to get back down to even just 160 lbs for the last two years and the lowest I'll get to is about 174 lbs, then I'm back up to 180 lbs a few months later. Even working out 6 days a week, if you can't control your late-night snacking, you'll never be able to out work a bad diet.
My husband worked for Space X at Vanderberg Space Force in Lompoc CA and he worked at the launch pad for Falcon 9. He was there when they started landing the rocket back on the pad. There are 2 and 3 stages to the launch. One being when the payload (usually satellites from different countries) detaches from the rocket. After that is when the rocket comes back down.
In high school our senior pranks got a little out of hand. Brick thrown through glass, tree planted on football field. Cops were called in. I was involved some of it. I was also the student government president and had to meet with the principal to discuss how we’d find out who did it
A big part of the Opie and Anthony “dead mayor” joke was that officials pulled his children out of school to tell them he had died before it was apparent it was an April fools joke. Years and years later, they apologized to Mumbles Menino but he refused it.
You guys were talking about pranks and then also talked about space rockets. So I'm shocked that nobody brought up the fake reality show about sending contestants up into space. It was called 'Space Cadets' and you can see it on youtube. All of the contestants really thought that they were going to space but the whole thing ended up being a ruse. Such a great example of how easy it is to fool the masses.
SpaceX live streams every single launch on TH-cam. For somebody who clearly gets all of their news and information from weird TH-cam channels it's hard to believe Dusty hasn't seen any of those. During the ad read when Bates started reading all the stage direction.. just classic Barnacle. Good stuff
When a new episode is released, I watch the first 10 seconds of the 'Nateland' fade-in, and if I don't immediately make out a guy with lots of hair wearing a hat on the right side of the screen, I turn it off and wait until next Wednesday. I enjoy all of you guys but I'm happiest to see Dusty. Have a great week.
When Dusty said he "Tore up" some Ryan's back in the day, I was waiting for Nate to chime with "And probably been kicked out of a few as well" but it never came. Glad the guys are back together though!
I was hoping you'd talk about the wildest prank I've ever heard of, which was the 1938 radio broadcast - 'War of the Worlds' by Orson Welles. It really wasn't a prank, it was meant to be entertainment, but madman/genius Welles decided to broadcast the story of this martian invasion across the United States as real, and people were terrified and even took their own lives because they heard on the radio that the alien invaders were about to hit their areas. This was before, and greatly influenced, many of the radio practices we use today, periodic announcements of the station name and requiring true public threats to have auditory queues and verbal elements. Orson just never said 'this is a story and not real'. Wild stuff.
A family friend of mine grew up in a small town in Idaho and for his senior prank, him and his friends let a bunch of cows into the school. Needless to say it got out of hand. instead of just walking the halls like they thought the cows would, the cows freaked out, pooped all over floors, trashed lockers and ruined the new gym floor that had just been installed a few weeks before. The group of boys were all arrested and although charges were dropped, had to pay fines and came very close to not graduating. The prank got so much attention that it was even mentioned on the tonight show with Jay Leno.
“Crockpot comedy” was perfect. I recently recommended this podcast to my mom. In trying to sell it, I told her y’all were finally hitting your stride. She then questioned why it took over 100 episodes. Been watching since episode #8!
I can only picture the crowd yelling "Happy Birthday " before Aaron gripping the shoulder with "enough!!"
🎉😂😂😂
Hahaha!!!! Great comment.
😹😹😹
So good to have the B.A.N.D back together. We’ve had some ups and downs with some absences and guests but I’m so used to the flow of you 4 it just doesn’t seem right to not have all of you together.
I couldn't agree more! This made me so happy. I feel like such a rookie though that it took me a minute to understand "B.A.N.D.".
B.A.N.D lol I Love it!
Love the acronym!!!
Except Nate will want to be first so maybe NAB’D? Haha
Can we get Dusty's dad on the podcast? He sounds like a character 😂
The conversation around SpaceX's rocket launching and landing was peak Nateland! I love how Nate went on a rant about how sometimes you have to just admit that you're wrong in response to Aaron and then it turned out that Aaron was EXACTLY correct. 😂
This part was so painful to listen to. I was shouting that Aaron was right as I was listening. C'mon Aaron use that computer better.
Never forget Nate always looks good for a guy that used to be 300 pounds. Your fluctuating weight loss is why you truly are the Greatest Average American. A real man of the people!!
I am a 67 year old female, but I just love listening and watching the 4 of you. I really want to comment on the losing weight issue. I have done all the diets. ALL OF THEM. I lose the weight and it slowly comes back on. Right now I'm doing intemittent fasting (the 16/8) and losing 1 to 2 pounds a week and after the first couple of weeks, it's super easy.....and I have given up NOTHING! I figure if I can lose 52 pounds in one year, I'm good. Also, Nate I had to laugh at my husband the other day when he said let's do all our errands "in one fell swoop". Can you tell he's a fan too?
Hello folks and Hey Balthazar! I’m a pretty sizable guy. I’m 6’2” and easily 315lbs. About 15 minutes into todays podcast, right as you guys were talking about how you need to have a better relationship with food and it can be a hard habit to break, I bumped into my steering wheel and spilled my gas station biscuits and gravy all over the cup holders and center console of my truck. I think that was my wake up call to try and form a better relationship with food and break the biscuit and gravy before work habit!
Good for you man that's great stay strong
This is the only podcast I don't fast forward through the ad reads. You guys do so well at making ad reads fun! I'm sure the companies really appreciate that!
The prankster Dusty is referring to is Ed Bassmaster. A real OG
Looking at Kardye West’s AI illustration of the crew as babies, Dusty says, “I love how Brian is not really a baby.” But no one mentions that baby Dusty has a mustache and beard. Classic Nateland. Love you guys!
I actually had dusty without the beard but it didnt look right. I generated that image of aaron using his shaved face image.
I love these pics! I’d totally buy the shirt!!!
It’s great to see Breakfast finally has a talent for the show. Aaron is the best ad reader, Dusty’s callbacks are quick and funny, Nate refuses to let his dyslexia stop him from reading comments and now Breakfast is killing it with his segues. The show is better than ever, keep up the good work.
The first 15 mins hit hard as someone struggling with sugar addiction and almost 6 years sober.. it's so similar. Then when Nate said that food shouldn't be the fun, food is the fuel to go have fun. wow. That's exactly what alcohol was for me too. I thought I needed it for fun, that it was fun. Now I know that I don't need it, life is much better without it and I am happier and more confident than I ever was drinking. Now if I can kick this sugar habit, things would be great!
Hello Folks! And Happy Belated Birthday, Nate!
I just started listening to the podcast a few months ago and I’m trying to cram in as many episodes as I can, bouncing from old to new. You guys make my day go by so much faster and you put a smile on my face.
I don't really like pranks because I don't like getting pranked… I’m pretty tender-hearted.
- When my big brother was a senior in high school, his friend called for me from the driveway. I thought it would be a Romeo and Juliet moment as I came to the window of my second story bedroom, but instead he mooned me. It broke my 14 yr old heart.
- My orthodontist wired my mouth shut at an appointment one time as a prank. I had a mild panic attack, but he cut the wires before I left. So, when he told me on April Fools Day that I was getting my braces off after 4 and a half years, I didn’t believe him. I cried tears of joy.
- My son likes to seek me out just to fart on me. He will run from whatever room he’s in or come inside to “hug” me, then turns around, lets one go, and runs away laughing. It still hurts my feelings! He's 11 and has been doing this since he could walk.
Keep spreading kindness, boys. And Nate, thank you for adding another show in Springfield, IL! My husband and I are looking forward to a rare date night. Sending much love your way ❤
I’m almost caught up to you guys! You probably don’t read the comments on past shows but I wanted to add a cupcake note. My 30 year old daughter taught me to split the cupcake in half, flip the top upside down so the icing is in the middle, and eat it like a sandwich. Not as messy and it’s the only time I’ve ever eaten an entire cupcake! Try it! It’s great! Great show!
I absolutely loved listening to Dusty's commentary during the POV rocket launch video. I can't show my husband anything that I think is cool because he'll sit and debunk it the same way. I hate it and love it at the same time. I'm too gullible for my own good. I think Nic and I would be good friends. Also, Happy Birthday, Nate!
You guys crack me up! The whole time Aaron is searching for proof that the rocket returns quickly there is an actual timer running at the bottom of the video he had pulled up showing the rocket returning to the pad. Hilarious!
I’m currently a youth pastor and was a high school math teacher before that. One of my favorite parts of both jobs is messing with the minds of teenagers.
One day, a girl walks into my math class talking about the Garth Brooks concert she had gone to over the weekend. I say, “Who is Garth Brooks?” She goes, “He’s a really famous country singer. You seriously don’t know who he is?” I go, “Nope, sorry.”
Dumbfounded, she begins to tell me all about his music. Eventually I say, “Well, I guess I’m just standing outside the fire on this one.” She goes, “THAT’S ONE OF HIS SONGS!” I’m like, “No way, seriously!? That’s crazy. What are the odds?”
So she talks for a few more minutes about Garth Brooks, then it’s time to get started with class. To wrap up the Garth conversation, I say, “Well, the thunder rolls.” Again, she freaks out. “THAT’S ANOTHER ONE OF HIS SONGS!” Everyone in the class knew I was messing with her, except her. Pretty sure she never figured it out. It was great.
Nate's confession of the situation he was facing with his weight loss journey and going to Red Rocks broke my heart for him and hit sooo close to home... I lost 120 pounds and kept it off for 8 years... had a couple of really bad years and now it's all back, only harder to lose now that I'm older. Heartbreaking!
I had to go to the dentist today, but I also got to watch this podcast... so everything evens out.
Love you guys. thanks for everything!
My friend’s brother had the best senior prank. He and his friends brought 3 chickens to school and numbered them 1, 2, & 4. So the whole day people were looking for the “3rd” chicken. Those guys were legends.
Nice shout out to Shelby Foote, he was a true southern gentleman!
Dude do 50 push-ups a day and you'll be shredded by redrocks. 25 in the morning 25 at night
My favorite prank is Tom Green Show when he goes onto the kids soccer field with a boombox.
Awesome to have the regular gang back. I hope guest are few and far between!
I liked when BB Gun Bates says "They went from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, we all know that" and Nate says smugly "Everybody knows that."
Indeed, I know that because Nateland Podcast episode 28.
This is a _learning_ podcast.
Just saw Nate with my girlfriend in Raleigh and it was phenomenal . She was weirded out a bit at first considering I am Latino and she is Indian and walking to our seats some guy behind us said real loud “Learn the goddamn language” . We were talking to each other in English and I turned around to make eye contact with the guy who just looked at me and her weird …. When Dustin came on and asked if there were any Muslims in the house , she was the solitary “WOO” in the crowd … thankfully , the show was so amazing still and we both felt so comfortable laughing our hearts out , that we ended the night with huge smiles on our faces ! Thanks Nate and thanks to Mr Bargatze who might be my girlfriends favorite magician ever now , you guys are the best .!
Some wild and crazy guys. Breaking doors and crashing weddings!! Happy Birthday Nate! 🎂
Hey Bear: You looked great at 160 in Hello World (watched it 5x already). But at 185, Dude, did you ever meet a donut you didn’t like? Yes, you CAN drop the extra tonnage before Red Rocks (fab venue, BTW!). Get back to regular running and eat healthy foods. Make up your mind to be 160 before RR concert. Don’t think of it as dieting. Think of it as healthy eating. You’re making bank these days, so hire a nutritionist. I know people who’ve lost weight by eating more food - the right food at the right time in the right amount. Warning, guilt trip coming: Don’t do it for you, do it for those two in your Girl World. Part of treasuring them is treasuring the health God gave you. Be a faithful steward of your body. You will feel better physically, mentally and spiritually. Do it! .... Love your comedy. It ain't crazeee. It's dryly cerebral, the best kind. Happy Birthday!
the pre-comment banter this week was one of my favorites so far!! i loved nate’s vulnerability and honesty around his weight and food addiction struggles because it really is so hard!! as someone who has had their weight fluctuate quite a bit over the years, i found that whole conversation very relatable. a lot of public figures don’t acknowledge or address those challenges, so i appreciate you guys keeping it human.
i also 100% do not believe that dusty washed his hands 😂
“If the homeless don’t like them, the homeless don’t have to eat them!”
Prayers, hugs and hope for yall in Nashville area. I hope we can all find a way to love each other, accept each other, realize we all have flaws, we all have something to offer and life will so much better if we can be honest, open and forgiving with each other.
Nate saying “Yo!” Is something I’d never expect
The third time of dusty asking “but where does it go?” About the rocket launch made me lose it. Love listening to this podcast on my way home from being a nurse. Just the type of nonsense I need to hear to wind down
I might be cutting my sister out. She told me this morning she loved Nate's specials but "doesn't get the podcast." I told her give it time. You'll figure it out eventually or maybe not at all but then you can't live without it.
Just calling me then, eh, sis?
As always with this amazing crew, listening to y'all discuss a topic I'm knowledgeable about is quite painful but always entertaining! About the rocket taking off and coming back, SpaceX has 2 kinds of rockets. The one Nate saw was a Falcon 9, it takes off from Florida but then the booster (what you guys call "rocket", you could name it the "first engine" to make it easier) lands far off land on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean so Nate couldn't have seen it, even if he had waited for 9 minutes. The other rocket SpaceX has is the Falcon Heavy and these boosters come back down at Cape Canaveral where it launched from but they only use it once every few years. And to answer Bubble Juice's question, the top part of the rocket keeps going up because it also has an engine (you could call that the "second engine")! The big one that lands is only the first engine of the rocket and is there to give the whole thing enough power to go up towards space before it detaches and comes back, leaving the payload on its way with its smaller engine.
Y’all are too nice and apologetic to talk about pranks. 😂
Nate’s joke about business made me spit my coffee out 😂 49:17
I was dying 😂 also Brian's "LETS GOOOO"
Freshman year in college, I was the only non-athlete on my dorm floor that was full of football players. The people next door always had a fan in their window because the dorm didnt have AC. My roommate was always asleep at weird hours so I took his baby powder and squeezed it out the window into the neighbors window with a fan and it sucked it all in. I could hear them coughing and rushing out in the hall. I'd jump in bed and pretend to sleep and theyd come running in and wake up my roommate and thought he was pretending to sleep. I did this at least once a week for a month or two before they caught on that it was me. I wasn't a football player so they never suspected me. They thought it was awesome and we ended up pranking most people in the hall cause no knew me since I wasnt on the team, so I was unassuming and I could get by with a lot! Great year!!
Saw you in Melbourne this past weekend, thanks for the great show! Family had a blast
Hey y’all, my wife and I had an UNbelievable time at the show in Raleigh! It was a surreal moment when Nate’s dad got emotional and told us it was the biggest crowd y’all had performed for. Nate, please tell me that hour will be taped because I think it was your funniest yet!
at 1.5 speed its still normal lol
One of the best pranks I’ve ever heard done was a radio show (Free Beer and Hot Wings) that talked about an Ivy League study, saying only geniuses or extremely high IQ people can hear this specific sound frequency. Then they played five seconds of radio silence. The amount of callers and textures to the show that said they had to pull over because it was so loud or that their ears hurt and they were forced to shut off the radio was just pure gold. They broke the news to the listeners later and said that they didn’t play anything just to get the reaction but some people still double down and said they could hear something.
The best prank I play on students is showing a video about North Carolina's failing marshmallow crop. A small portion of the class usually falls for it. Once, it was even a kid who lived on a farm. I use that video to talk about the importance of finding good sources for research.
I'll go proofread this now.
When I was in high school, our senior pranks would be against our homecoming rivals. The seniors from our rival school took a small yellow school bus, cut it in half, wrapped it around a tree in our quad and welded it together. For our comeback, we had put 500 lbs of manure into there brand new pool.
From Michelle Barry ...Hello Guys.. Nate, so nice to know men feel "heart-broken" when they gain weight, too. Don't worry the 185 isn't real; you just over-indulged on bday cupcakes. You've probably lost 5 lbs by now.On another note, you guys are almost too nice to be doing a segment on pranks! I enjoy all y'all and love Tennessee.. from a Massachusetts fan who used to cross the "border" into Rhode Island for work.
Adventures in Babysitting was a great movie and the Thor scene was epic!!! 😂❤
Aaronland's "... ... ... what?" In response to Dusty at 1:30:10 fucking killed me.
Lol. There couldn’t be more spaceX videos out there.
I'm in my mid 50s and when Aaron said having old "before" photos on your phone that you've done nothing with... I about crashed my car laughing. 😅 talk about observational comedy, there is a comedy bit in that comment because there are a lot of us that have said " here we go!" ... and nothin' 🤣
On the topic of Nate regretting not letting John get into the wrong car... my wife and I were near our friend's apartment complex and she wanted to pop in. I HIGHLY encouraged it...after her knocking several times they were unfortunately not there...because they moved across town and she forgot. I just wish the new tenants would have answered just to see that exchange!
April Fools Day will also be 16 yrs being together & Nate's past Wilmington, NC show was our baby moon for our first, so we're doing something right...we laugh together everyday...thanks for being a part of it!
Nate, you read Allen Carr’s book to help you quit drinking. He has a book on quitting sugar as well. We have to renew our mind to the place we no longer desire the sugar. You can do it!
You know I have watched Nate for years and started podcast about 8months ago. I knew Dusty from Neflix segment but I never watched Brian or Aaron's comedy until recently. You know what not bad, wasn't sure how much clean comedy I would like but when your good you dont even notice its "clean". I think more people if they haven't should also give them a try, they are getting better all time.
The “would you look at that” guy Dusty mentions is earl dibbles jr.
He’s hilarious. I like the “look at that”videos and the ones where he says made up words in a conversation and people are just so confused 😂
Good morning, guys. Nate, I have never had more fun than introducing your humor via Hello World to my 40 year old nephew in law and my 10 year old great-nephew, Rayce. Rayce was screaming with laughter and my nephew in law’s name is DEREK, so that part was WAY fun!!! Sorry I missed you in Tallahassee! Keep up the good work, guys!
Why not ask Dusty how he stopped drinking and smoking! A food addiction is no different! Or ask Aaron how he lost his weight! There are experiences to gain from sitting right there!
Curious how both Nate and Dusty stopped drinking, and why. Would be a good topic for the next podcast
@@TB-zc7uzDusty talks about the history of his drinking a lot on his podcast
@@brandiejohnson7275 yes he does but not specifically how he quit, etc.
@@mollydog97 He started doing CBD. LOL.
Havin' a good time! 😏
I remember my senior year of high school, my class let a chicken run around the school and my principal caught him. He brought the chicken to the auditorium for our senior assembly and named him “Bob the chicken”. Our class never got in trouble because our principal was retiring that year. Love the podcast and I’m excited to see Nate in Hershey!
I use to wait tables. One time a new bus boy got hired and I introduced myself and asked him how things were going. 2 hours later I repeated this. I then had another server tell him I had short term memory loss. I kept this up every shift for 6 months until I quit never telling him. I told
Him to watch this episode of nateland in hopes that he’ll learn the truth in true nix novicki style.
I was just reminded of when I pranked both my little brother and my pastor during an Easter service 10 years ago. During the sermon my pastor very somberly asked the rhetorical question, “why did Jesus die on the cross?”
In a moment of poor judgement I nudged my little brother and whispered to him to say “to get to the other side!”
The little guy blurted it out as loudly as he could and stopped the message dead in its tracks. The pastor was very gracious with us afterwards, but I haven’t felt as happy and guilty in one moment as that Sunday.
As someone who has worked for Men's Wearhouse for MANY years, we are a part of lots of practical jokes that groomsmen like to play. My favorite was when 5 grown men paid hundreds of extra dollars to rent "outrageously wrong" wedding tuxedos just so they could prank the bride at the rehearsal dinner. It's usually fun and I'm totally here for it.
Nate and the guys are asking questions with the answer right in front of them!! The video clearly showed T+8:25 when the rocket was landing.
It's comedy how Dusty will think a Billionaire is really an Alien, but that a rocket going into orbit isn't real..lmao.
Do you guys have any plans of ever having Joe List or Dan Soder on the pod? So far my all time favorite casts have been the episodes with Greg Warren!
I think Dusty and Aaron are talking about the same legend: Ed Bassmaster.
"Smooth like Cookie Dough" Genius Dusty!
You guys mentioning FAU made me so happy. As Bryan knows MTSU is also part of conference USA so let’s go owls! Let’s win it all!
When I went there we had just gotten into the NCAA. The campus is crazy awesome now. Huge brand new football stadium too.
@@ahoblit yeah the stadium is great! I was there when we had Singletary as our running back and lane kiffin as our head coach. It was a great 2 years.
Let it be known that we all love you guys the way you are. The fact that Nate gained back a few pounds after the special taping is completely understandable. It just makes me wonder how long it would take for Aaron to get down to 160 lbs before a special taping. Meanwhile, Dusty looks like he's preparing for a summer movie roll about the younger days of a southern born Santa Claus. Love the pod and keep us laughing!
I love Nateland, I’m a long time listener, so I don’t understand why I’m so surprised Aaron had to spend so much time explaining how rockets work. 😂
My favorite has been Aaron explaining that an arch takes up a square amount of space
I just pranked my wife on April Fools by purchasing a "Men's" bathroom sign and putting it on our bathroom door. Our only bathroom door. Well worth the 98 cents I spent.
It’s all good Nateland, loved you and vechione wit Theo. Head up comedy in Nashville :)
Wow, Aaron's story about how his mom cleaned up the TP prank before the pranksters came back around is EXACTLY what I did (but just once). A friend of my daughter's TP'd the house and trees. One of my other daughters noticed it and told me. I quickly grabbed a broomstick and was able to get every single piece down in record time. Crucial point: It was about 10 minutes before a massive downpour, which would've made the TP prank a "masterpiece" as the wet TP would've stuck to everything. I knew they'd come back after the rain to see their masterpiece, so I waited by the window with lights off. Sure enough, they did come back. They drove by very slowly... even stopped for a second... then drove on. Chalk one up for the old man... and several for Mrs Weber! Love this podcast!
Big fan here. When I saw the subject this week my eyes lit up! I was arrested the morning of April Fools my Senior Year of High School during morning family Bible study. Small town, my dad was a Bishop in our church, and I snuck out, picked up my friends, and went to the school. The idea of our prank was to chain the doors of the school shut from the inside, and we hoped that school would get cancelled the following day because nobody would be able to get in. Instead I got suspended for a week and had to do 20 hours of community service. They caught me because I was driving the Bishop's car and parked at a local bar. A cop saw the car that night, recognized it was out of place, and called my dad to come and get it. When the teachers couldn't get into the school the next day they called the cops, and the cops did the math and came knocking at my house. The school then invested in security cameras, and my prank now lives on in infamy. How was I supposed to know to not park at a bar?
In high school, two of my friends had the same car, like an old Carola or something. Somehow, their keys worked on each other's car. One day at lunch, one of them used their key to move the others car to a completely different part of the parking lot so when the other friend came out for his lunch the car was gone. Still makes me laugh 15 years later
Aaron is 100% correct. The rocket booster detaches as it reaches a specific altitude. The booster comes back down and lands on the ground. The "top half" of the rocket with the payload continues into space to deliver the satellites.
If you look at the bottom of the video you watched, you will see the time from takeoff counting forward.
Hello folks and hey brrry snnndrs! Love the podcast and have spent weeks going back and watching old episodes. When Nate or Dusty make Aaron laugh so hard he has to back away from the mic is awesome! What does Bates Motel do? Just kidding! Y’all are all awesome! Keep it up!
Does the gang know that spring doesn’t begin in April all over the world? In the Southern Hemisphere Spring starts in September. So if the new year started at the start of spring, there’d still be April fools.
My dad told me once about golf balls, " For most people, the difference in a 3 dollar ball and a 1 dollar ball is 2 dollars."
It’s amazing that Nate, Brian and Dusty have no idea that rockets come off of the spacecraft. It’s almost as bad as Aaron thinking corn grew on trees.
The practical joke episode takes a hard right talking about a rocket taking off and landing. I could only imagine the practical joke was Dusty going along with the conversation as if the rocket actually goes into “outer space”.
Hello folks! Just wondering if Nate, bootleg, Aaron and Dusty got a chance to watch the Tribute video I made for Nate and the whole show? A Spokesperson For Earth. Been a fan since episode 1! Hope you can spot all the references and Easter eggs. Can’t wait to see Nate tomorrow at his show in Raleigh!
Can you share a link? I'd like to see that video!
Hate to break it to you Nate, but Julian spilled the beans about your birthday. My husband and I actually went to your show for his birthday present which was the next day. So when we learned it was your birthday we freaked out, as did the entire crowd. Learning that it was your birthday made the show even better. However, there were some girls in front of us at the show that would not stop talking and we wish Aaron was there to tell them “enough”. Love the podcast!
Aaron and Nate wondering how long the return of the rocket takes while looking at a video with a literal giant timer at the bottom.... #WelcomeToNateland
One of the best senior pranks I’ve heard of - seniors in a farm town let 4 pigs loose in the school. But before they let them loose, they rubbed them with grease (so they were hard to catch) and numbered them with marker with #1, #2, #3, and #5
- Eric Costanzo (descendent of the Costanzo mafia)
I feel for Nate's weight loss struggle. I got into great shape for my wedding two years ago(155 lbs) and immediately after my honeymoon, I gained all the weight back (184 lbs). I've been trying to get back down to even just 160 lbs for the last two years and the lowest I'll get to is about 174 lbs, then I'm back up to 180 lbs a few months later. Even working out 6 days a week, if you can't control your late-night snacking, you'll never be able to out work a bad diet.
The first round of golf I ever played I didn’t lose a single ball. It’s hard to lose something that’s only 25 yards in front of you.
My husband worked for Space X at Vanderberg Space Force in Lompoc CA and he worked at the launch pad for Falcon 9. He was there when they started landing the rocket back on the pad. There are 2 and 3 stages to the launch. One being when the payload (usually satellites from different countries) detaches from the rocket. After that is when the rocket comes back down.
In high school our senior pranks got a little out of hand. Brick thrown through glass, tree planted on football field. Cops were called in. I was involved some of it. I was also the student government president and had to meet with the principal to discuss how we’d find out who did it
A big part of the Opie and Anthony “dead mayor” joke was that officials pulled his children out of school to tell them he had died before it was apparent it was an April fools joke. Years and years later, they apologized to Mumbles Menino but he refused it.
You guys were talking about pranks and then also talked about space rockets. So I'm shocked that nobody brought up the fake reality show about sending contestants up into space. It was called 'Space Cadets' and you can see it on youtube. All of the contestants really thought that they were going to space but the whole thing ended up being a ruse. Such a great example of how easy it is to fool the masses.
SpaceX live streams every single launch on TH-cam. For somebody who clearly gets all of their news and information from weird TH-cam channels it's hard to believe Dusty hasn't seen any of those.
During the ad read when Bates started reading all the stage direction.. just classic Barnacle. Good stuff
I don't understand the big deal about finding someone who's been missing forever.... you Know they're at the bottom of the ocean.
Shoutout Ed Bassmater ' Would ya just look at it??'
When a new episode is released, I watch the first 10 seconds of the 'Nateland' fade-in, and if I don't immediately make out a guy with lots of hair wearing a hat on the right side of the screen, I turn it off and wait until next Wednesday. I enjoy all of you guys but I'm happiest to see Dusty. Have a great week.
When Dusty said he "Tore up" some Ryan's back in the day, I was waiting for Nate to chime with "And probably been kicked out of a few as well" but it never came. Glad the guys are back together though!
I was hoping you'd talk about the wildest prank I've ever heard of, which was the 1938 radio broadcast - 'War of the Worlds' by Orson Welles. It really wasn't a prank, it was meant to be entertainment, but madman/genius Welles decided to broadcast the story of this martian invasion across the United States as real, and people were terrified and even took their own lives because they heard on the radio that the alien invaders were about to hit their areas. This was before, and greatly influenced, many of the radio practices we use today, periodic announcements of the station name and requiring true public threats to have auditory queues and verbal elements. Orson just never said 'this is a story and not real'. Wild stuff.
I think he actually did, but it was at the beginning and end, so if you tuned in the middle, you wouldn't have heard it.
@@lhenderson9140 oh did he!? I watched it all the way thru but was distracted. I'm glad it got a mention!
Hey bear!
Shelby Foote is the person who Daniel Craig modeled his accent after for the his Knives Out character - and how!
A family friend of mine grew up in a small town in Idaho and for his senior prank, him and his friends let a bunch of cows into the school. Needless to say it got out of hand. instead of just walking the halls like they thought the cows would, the cows freaked out, pooped all over floors, trashed lockers and ruined the new gym floor that had just been installed a few weeks before. The group of boys were all arrested and although charges were dropped, had to pay fines and came very close to not graduating. The prank got so much attention that it was even mentioned on the tonight show with Jay Leno.
Loved Mike’s special! Great job!
Bates working kinda blue at 1:44:53. 😂😂😂
