Thanks to you kind folks I have a connection with my son who is on the Autism spectrum. I drive him to a special school that is a 30 minute commute each way. For a long time we just drove in silence because he doesn’t want to talk or listen to music. I loved the Netflix special for the “unbelievable “ level of comedy and the clean humor. I turned on your podcast one morning and he didn’t say anything, I expected him to protest. He didn’t say anything for about 10 minutes and then he started laughing at everything. We love the banter, the teasing back and forth, and the sarcasm. Sarcasm is a rare thing for a person with Autism to fully grasp, but he loves it all. Now we listen every day and talk about the stuff that you guys are stumbling through. I can’t thank you enough for giving us this opportunity to share.
I was diagnosed autistic at forty. Just love your son Dave and he’ll turn out fine. Go Little Rock star. I don’t get sarcasm either. And I’m addicted to this podcast too.
I'm a 70 yr old grandma of 7 living alone with my two cats (who cares, right?) but I just wanted you to know you have a vast eclectic majority of listeners who eagerly await your podcasts. I watch/listen on my large tv while usually playing a game on my iPhone (ADD at work). When I start laughing my rear off, I look up to see Aaron beat red, trying not to laugh out loud, and it makes me laugh harder. You all bring so much joy into your listener's lives and I thank you for that. Brian, you're great, and much appreciated! Nate, I'm proud of you, all of you, for being hilarious, clean comedians. Thank you.
Second time commenter! I coach basketball at a middle school and towards the end of practice a player asked me what we were doing for the remainder of practice. I told him, we’ve got 10 minutes in this drill, then 10 minutes in another, and then 10 minutes in our last drill. He replied “Dang, we have an hour of practice left??” I thought to myself -what in the Nate Bargatze kind of math is this?! Also, condolences to Aaron and his Fighting Irish..Roll Tide!
I’ve been listening since the beginning and I feel I can state irrefutably that the theme of this podcast should forever be “Never have so few known so little about so much” All seriousness aside, love the podcast and please keep it going.
Ep 27 was exemplary! I started giggling when Nate asked Weberlikethegrill "is that a germane?", I was crying-laughing at "champagne climbing rat", and I completely lost it when Nate was quite comfortable saying he doesn't understand graphs and there's a graph problem in this country, all while sitting next to his favourite brick. I love this show, it's the highlight of my week, keep up the great comedy gentlemen!
“Well on you.” That was the quickest heckle-to-joke turnaround ever. If this was at a club The heckler would be so butt hurt he’d walk out while trying to get the last word in while the crowd boos him/her out. These guys are geniuses...geniuses? gen-i??
Nate loves saying “He would turn around” to explain that he was close enough when pronouncing someone’s name. However, we all remember the joke where Nate turned around when an old man said “Olivia”.
Super funny = Aaron and Brian trying to hold it together (or not) while Nate tries to read aloud. Super admirable = Nate continuing to read aloud despite it all, episode after episode. I teach junior high and high school English, and Nate, you're a great role model for kids who are afraid to read aloud; I have genuine respect for the fact that you are committed to those comments! Keep up the fun, you guys; I've been laughing since Episode 1 (mostly with Aaron, who is a cry-laugher like I am).
Nate will be struggling to read a word and I’ll think to myself “well maybe it’s a tough word” then he finally gets out “emperor” and I realize it’s a good thing comedy worked out for him
Hello folks. I listen to a bunch of podcasts and this one is the one that always has me laughing. My co-workers probably think something was wrong with me on this one, because I was laughing so hard that I was crying, and trying not to be too loud. I love it, a podcast that is just silly and hilarious. They way you guys interact with each other is priceless.
I love when Aaron just gives up and tells Nate “that’s fair.” Even when Nate is arguing for something utterly atrocious; Aaron senses when it’s time to move on and says “that’s fair” so Bedpost can move the show along. Love the podcast. Can’t wait to see you on tour in Greensboro!
I was listening to this podcast at work and had to stop and switch to TH-cam at the part where Nate pronounced Chaipan “Champagne.” Both times I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair, and received quite the look from my coworker after my second outburst...I have one earbud in, so imagine what was going through her head hearing me burst out laughing and my chair lifting off the ground not once, but twice. Love the show! Nate, Aaron, and Butterfinger are the best!!
I have to imagine that the warm up routine for this podcast goes something like this: Aaron studies a thesaurus while possibly getting high, Bootylicious wires his jaw shut to remind himself to do those hard exhales through his nose, and Nate snacks on a few paint chips to make sure he doesn't pronounce words good. Mix it all together and somehow, it's the funniest podcast out there! Whatever you all do, it's working. Thanks!
I think that Aaron’s laughing fit was the funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile. Just listening to all these rants on baby and animal deaths, and Aaron can’t hold it together!
This podcast reminds me of high school group projects. Brake check is the guy that does all the work and Aaron and Nate show up the day it’s due offering up tidbits like random sea turtle facts so the teacher thinks they actually helped. All jokes aside love the podcast. Keep up the good work and Happy New Years!
Hey folks! My family is currently quarantined, and have not been able to be there for my mom, sisters, or my brother. This year has been such a trying time for us all and I've had suffered the loss of many family members. Thank you for bringing me joy every week. If it was for the whole Nateland crew im not sure how I would have held up. Always been a fan, I hope that one day I'll be able to watch you guys live sometime soon!
This episode is amazing. I catch up on the old episodes on my walks at night, and I laugh out loud. People probably think I’m crazy, but after watching my 1 year old all day, it’s the escape that I need to relax and listen to something that’s clean, funny, and makes me feel good. Keep up the good work Nate, Aaron, and Beetle Bug. ❤️
Nate, I busted out laughing when you said "Champagne Climbing Rat." My wife had to come see what was so funny. You three fellas have pulled even with Bill Burr's podcast as my two favorite podcasts. You couldn't be more different but both podcasts are hilarious. Thanks for brightening up this 100 percent disabled/combat wounded veteran's day.
The fact that a man who thinks we can use "etc." in place of numbers is wildly successful, that's all the proof we need that this is the best time to be alive!
I’ve always been a fan of Breadpan but he’s starting to become one of my top 400 favourite people on podcasts:) you guys are amazing, thanks for keeping everyone laughing . Fan for life
I just want you guys to know you make my week .When Nate answered a question with Walmart I just about chocked on my drink. Thanks again have a great New Years
Funniest joke of the day goes unheard. Aaron saying Zanies is Nashville's most historic landmark. Brian says "You should see the Ryman". I laughed so hard! You guys are great.
I love that Nate, after reading the comment from the Hungarian, stared in contemplation and said “Hungaria” as is this was the name of a country instead of Hungary. Y’all are killin it😂
Great episode idea to end the year on. Been a fan of Nate for a while and after craving some Nate comedy content, I am so glad I became aware of this podcast and came to know about Aaron and Brantley in the process. It's so neat of Nate to have Brantley on the pod to offer some of his younger listeners some insights of the ways of ancient years and their archaic practices. And as a current college student, I appreciate Aaron's educated insights and his laugh is very contagious. I will never be able to find an easy way to explain why this podcast is the funniest thing to me to my friends, but you three make my week. Keep it up folks!
Nate, Aaron and Babykiller, I am a Paramedic and listening to you guys scramble over how much 30 grams is (that is so much, like an insane amount) made me start to laugh. Then when you started to break down how many pills you'd have to take each day, I started to belly laugh. Then when you started talking about going to the pharmacy and movie theater (in a pandemic!) I started to cry and had to brace myself against my bed I was folding laundry on just picturing that. To make matters worse, I have been almost immobile from throwing my back out during New Year's and even though I was in so much pain, you kept me laughing so hard. I also studied Biology in college (Gig 'Em Ags) so listening to you guys figure out life expectancies and graphs got me going, too. Thanks so much for finding the funny in such a tough year! PS, I hope you guys choose this so I can hear Nate try to say my name.
Anytime y’all talk about animals, it’s the absolute best! Something about animals as the subject just turns the hilarity up to 11. Thanks and God bless.
*the next week Aaron: “Well I would have to prepare for it, I could probably read 300.” *Six months later Nate: “Today we’re gonna see how many we can read, I think I can read 100, Buster thinks he could read 50 and Aaron is again making empty promises. He thinks he could read 400 *Nate barely makes it through 10, Aaron only gets through 101 and Bart reads 210
Thank you Nate, Brian, Aaron, Laura, Harper, Holly & staff/crew. My mental health has been troubling me. The fact that you have a sponsor for it is more important than anything. Thank you!🙏🏻 That’s BIG! But, this podcast has me actually laughing out loud constantly. Thanks! Keep on!❤️
I am surprised no one mentioned the reference to the song, “Downtown”, in an episode of Seinfeld when George didn’t focus on his assignment from his boss and his boss said the key to completing the assignment is “Downtown.” Love the podcast! Thank you for easing us out of 2020 and into 2021. It feels good to laugh. - One of the many Folks.
Best episode ever! Nate was on a comedy roll. The sea turtle bit was so funny and Aaron’s laughter is so contagious. The way Nate is obviously thinking and speaking improv comedy during every episode.You might say you are not smart but you are a comedic genius which is the best kind of smart. Laughter is getting me through this time period and your podcast is my 1 reason this is definitely the best time to be alive! I agree with Nate’s philosophy we can choose to be optimistic so why not make that choice. I also agree with when he said” Why not just try, just try” people always say how lucky I am but it’s because I do exactly that I just try! Get first class upgrades all the time.
Hello folks! As a data architect, I can appreciate and hate graphs all at the same time. I am a classic data guy; I like to see it tables. There are a lot of people who love data visualizations and they keep me employed. You should research the Tableau Conference. It is absolutely insane. Data is currency today. In fact - Nate, Aaron, and Bar Chart should keynote the next conference. Keep up the good work. This podcast is amazing.
I thought the Nate's fake statistic about the guy trying to win an Emmy was bad, then I hear the three of you trying to figure out how many milligrams are in a gram and wonder how you've been able to survive longer than a panguin in the wild. As a licensed pharmacist, I HIGHLY recommend you don't try to figure this stuff out on your own - your local community pharmacist is great at math and can advise on the recommended doses. Love the show and happy new year to you guys!
There were more than 3 times this episode where i just busted out laughing and screamed at the video “WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!” Crying from laughing. Thanks y’all!
Nate isn't as far off on the Emmy percentages as he seems. Selecting 2 winners out of a pool of 4 candidates has 6 possible result combinations. If you are 2 of the 4 candidates you have an 83.34% chance of being 1 of the winners and a 16.67% chance of winning both.
Nate, Aaron and Bush’s Baked Beans! Thank youuuuuu! I’m 34 and had a total knee replacement and at the same time I have a three-year-old and a six month old at home… The only moments of rest, recovery, sanity I have gotten have been listening to your podcast! This is like the Seinfeld of podcasts... A podcast about nothing and yet always perfect. How apropos! David Drees
The turtle segment of this podcast may be my most enjoyable moment of all. Made me think of the next olympics where they line up 10,000 runners and fire the gun and only one runner makes it to the finish line. Runners dropping in huge numbers as the race progresses. Happy New Year to you Nate, Arlin, and Breadbowl
Sewer systems and access to clean water greatly increased around 1900. Infection and disease decreased dramatically as soon as we were able to efficiently get rid of sewage. Next time you flush remember how good you have it Folks! The tiolet is the most underrated invention of all time.
HELLO FOLKS! I'm Kyle M as well. However I am NOT a English teacher anywhere. I think the podcast is real good. Keep up the solid "work" Nathan, Bob's Burgers, & Aaron! I now start all my emails with HELLO FOLKS! I'm not sure if any one gets it aside from my wife. Both her and I could listen to the podcast etc. etc.
Please do an episode on the history of words where Nate has to read words like etymology, colonel, anemone, onomatopoeia, Worcestershire, mischievous, brigadier, and debauchery. I’m laughing just thinking about how hard Aaron and Brian would be laughing. Love the positivity and look forward to Wednesday’s because of you guys.
I just about died laughing at the aspirin calculation conversation. I had to pause because I literally could not breathe. "Now that I'm saying it out loud, it does sound like too much aspirin." You guys are amazing and I love sharing the podcast with people. Respect to the struggles of the turtles. Thanks Nate for keeping me informed!
Pocket gophers are struggling because all that increased access to electricity and water has laundry washing through the roof. Love the show guys and the dynamic between the three of you. I feel like you guys would get together and do this even if no one was watching. This was a great episode. Brian, I see you man and enjoy your passive aggressive corrections of Nate when he's out in left field (or on the bench). Discovering this show was definitely a bright spot to 2020.
"There's a lot of nonsense work getting done." -professional comedian on his podcast This Quote brought to you by a guy who is the Lou Gehrig of Nateland commenting folks. Obviously, there's plenty of nonsense to go around. This podcast has truly been a respite in a crazy year. Thank you guys! I'll go proofread this now.
I went back to see if I had commented on every episode. You guys didn't read comments in the first 3 episodes. In the 4th episode, you read 1 comment (about Aaron's musical ability). The 5th episode was the first where you read comments. The 6th episode was the first one I commented on (although I did leave a response to a question on episode 3). Fear not though, Mr. Bates! I have gone back and commented on the first 5 episodes so you will not be lying when you say that I have commented on every episode.
Dearest Folks, I am not a comedian, but I am a huge comedy fan and Nate is one of my favorites. I have been writing jokes during quarantine and having Nate say my comment could be done as a joke was unbelievable. Love the podcast and all three of you are hilarious. Would love to see some more of Brian and Aardvarks acts featured on the show. (Had to switch up the name game in solidarity with a fellow Brian)
You had me laughing so hard I scared my sleeping cat! Aaron's spells of uncontrollable laughter are very contagious- you know his imagination is running wild but he cracks himself up so much he can't get the words out!
Hey guys the podcast has brought so much joy and misery to my household. The pronunciation of penguin has created a divide in my family. We are from Connecticut and we pronounce it pen-guin. I love the new way saying PANG-uin and every time I say it my 7 year old daughter and 4 year old daughter fight with me over it. I say panguin no less than 15 times a day and makes me laugh uncontrollably. My daughters and wife are no longer amused but the show goes on folks. Keep up the good work fellas
Nate tries to hum a few bars of "Downtown" by Petula Clark to see if he can get Aaron to recognize it. Aaron begins singing lyrics from Fallout Boy. I almost choked to death taking a sip of my water as that happened. Aaron wins Millennial of the year!
I spent this year learning to do life again after going through a divorce. You guys have brought joy to my life again, and this episode made me realize that even though life sucks, it's always worth living. Keep up the work, guys and Happy New Year!
Listening to you guys talk about math and statistics is as funny as Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson trying to figure out the computer in Zoolander, just hilarious! Love the show folks! Thanks for making me laugh all the time and keeping it light.
I love that Brian is the only one who Holly goes up to because no one else gives her any attention I would love a Holly episode! Or at least a Holly segment. Other episode ideas: aliens, famous bank robberies, conspiracy theories, serial killers (I would love Nate's take on true crime)
Bring on the alien episode, and the mini powdered donut challenge! Nate, Bison, Jermaine and Aaron are an " unbelievable" team, keep up the great work fellas, thanks for making my week again!
Great ep folks! I liked imagining Broccoli in a 1900s hospital and the nurse hands him like a Solo cup of 150 aspirin and Nate’s in the other bed next to him nodding encouragingly. Hilarious episode and I love it when you guys laugh too.
How dare you mock my family's deepest held belief in Toyotathon. I thought this was the last safe space my family and I could go without the constant ridicule. I will never listen again! See you next week.
Please do an episode on the history of words where Nate has to read words like etymology, colonel, anemone, onomatopoeia, Worcestershire, mischievous, brigadier, and debauchery. I’m laughing just thinking about how hard Aaron and Beavis would be laughing. Love the positivity and look forward to Wednesday’s because of you guys.
Nate and team, I love the podcast. Nate can say anything and I’ll laugh. His delivery is the best. Nate, Brian and Aaron make up an awesome team and hilarious banter. Clean comedy can still be funny! Let’s talk about those cakes for those dogs
The thought that the dump truck might not know that it went through a wall made me think of a story from college about a guy that's now a doctor. It could even be doctor Wilson, fan of the show. While watching college hoops and pre-gaming to go to watch Marquette play Nova at the Bradley Center, I was yuckin it up with a few guys next to me who I had just met. One of them kept wincing at random, so I asked, "Hey man, you doin alright?" thinking maybe he was feeling sick or something. He says "no, I'm good, my back is just killing me right now." A few seconds later, his buddy goes, "OH YEA! You got hit by a car last night" to the surprise of the guy with the hurt back. It is one of the only times I did a spit take with a drink. We all got kicked out of the bar because I spewed over the bar, but we ended up going to the game together and becoming friends. The guy that got hit by the car is now a successful surgeon.
Heads up! This comment is the wellest!!! After hearing the well and good adverb yada yada comment, I had to share this story with you guys... Why we love Nate so much - my sister had a Nate moment even before Nate came into our lives! She is an amazing 2nd grade teacher who excels at many things. Proper use of words is not one of them. Several years ago, our family was playing the game Taboo on vacation. My Brother in law was trying to get my sister to say the word "constable" without using too many obvious words and according to his clues, she guessed - SHERIFF! He looked at her and smiled giving her an encouraging nod and told her to "say it different". She loudly yelled back at him... "SHERF"! We all looked at her in disbelief. It. Was. The. Best. Day. Nate - Thanks for being amazing and at times amazingly clueless! #Bargatze/Belvedere/Weber 2024
I drive seafood around New England for a living and have listened to so much Nateland podcast that Nate’s voice has become the voice in my head for the past week...Now my thoughts have a southern accent and my IQ, and vocabulary has dropped rapidly.
An episode about it being the best time to be alive...I heard about the Nashville bomber, 5G being something that, apparently I should be worried about, and what happens to the decomposing bodies of "pain-guains" after unknown forces take their lives. I could use a lot of words to describe this episode, but disappointing is certainly not one of them. I love the Podcast and always look forward to laughing uncontrollably through every episode. Keep up the good work, gents!
I have a friend that worked at Walmart during college. One day a toddler ran in front of the 20 carts he was pushing. He couldn't stop and knocked the kid over. The kid was fine, but my friend earned the nickname baby-killer or "BK" for the rest of his time working there. I'm glad to know that he's in good company now with Bocephus.
Brian: hundreds of thousands of people living above the poverty line yearly. Aaron: hm Brian: hundreds of thousands getting quality drinking water. Nate: good for them. Brian: hundreds of thousands having internet access Aaron: that one's huge. Classic Nateland. I was rolling at that one. Keep up the good work guys. Love the podcast
Gents, not to bring it back to the Krispy Kreme challenge again but I have some info you might find interesting. I went to North Carolina State University in Raleigh NC. Every year around February we had the Krispy Kreme Challenge. It is a 2.5 mile run from campus to the downtown Krispy Kreme shop where competitors stop, eat a dozen donuts, and drink a pint of milk... Then you race 2.5 miles back to the start point. Thousands of people participate and raise money for charity each year. I did it all 4 years and vomitted my first 2. Ran with a group crazy friends who would stomp on the donuts in the pavement to make them smaller... We are all Marines/Sailors now so it makes sense. Great show guys.
I just watched Tennessee kid for like the 4th time. I noticed that Nate has a stage version of his mic adjusting quirk. On the podcast he constantly adjusts the mic but doesn’t actually move it. On stage he constantly grabs open his jacket and pulls the zippers in closer together , but it doesn’t actually move much. He adjusts his jacket on stage the way he adjusts the mic on the podcast.
Aaron with the Fall Out Boy reference might be my favorite part of this podcast ever. Not a terrible singing voice either. Glad he’s got a back up plan.
I feel like you guys HAVE to do a food challenge series. Just knock out a different challenge every week or two. I would also like to propose that every week you have a list of 5-10 words that Nate has to try to pronounce AND guess what they mean. That or read a page from Shakespeare stories. The highlight of each podcast is when he reads the comments and messes up names/words.
I can’t believe Nate & Briar Patch didn’t reference “The Bottle Deposit” episode of Seinfeld during the “Downtown” discussion. Jerry’s delivery of the “How can you lose?” lyric at Monk’s is classic.
Thanks to you kind folks I have a connection with my son who is on the Autism spectrum. I drive him to a special school that is a 30 minute commute each way.

Everytime Aaron laughs, an angel gets its wings.
Aaron's laughing is so contagious...this might have been the most laughing I have done in a podcast yet...keep it up...
I agree! I was laughing out loud for so much of this. But especially the turtles and the mammals
Again, I just want to hear your name said
This pod and Bad Friends are the funniest
Second time commenter!

I love this show, it's the highlight of my week, keep up the great comedy gentlemen!
I think he was sitting next to his two favorite Bricks.
“Well on you.” That was the quickest heckle-to-joke turnaround ever. If this was at a club The heckler would be so butt hurt he’d walk out while trying to get the last word in while the crowd boos him/her out. These guys are geniuses...geniuses? gen-i??
Cried from laughter multiple times. It was so much needed. Best podcast to wrap up the year! Thank you guys for all you do.
Nate loves saying “He would turn around” to explain that he was close enough when pronouncing someone’s name. However, we all remember the joke where Nate turned around when an old man said “Olivia”.
Olivia was Nate's idea of close enough. I can see him arguing "hey, it made me turn around."
"We got a graph problem in this country"
There was so much gold in this episode it's unreal.
Super funny = Aaron and Brian trying to hold it together (or not) while Nate tries to read aloud.
Super admirable = Nate continuing to read aloud despite it all, episode after episode.
I teach junior high and high school English, and Nate, you're a great role model for kids who are afraid to read aloud; I have genuine respect for the fact that you are committed to those comments!
Keep up the fun, you guys; I've been laughing since Episode 1 (mostly with Aaron, who is a cry-laugher like I am).
Nate will be struggling to read a word and I’ll think to myself “well maybe it’s a tough word” then he finally gets out “emperor” and I realize it’s a good thing comedy worked out for him
Hahaha!!!

Mix it all together and somehow, it's the funniest podcast out there! Whatever you all do, it's working. Thanks!

I will never be able to find an easy way to explain why this podcast is the funniest thing to me to my friends, but you three make my week. Keep it up folks!
Nate, Aaron and Babykiller, I am a Paramedic and listening to you guys scramble over how much 30 grams is (that is so much, like an insane amount) made me start to laugh. Then when you started to break down how many pills you'd have to take each day, I started to belly laugh. Then when you started talking about going to the pharmacy and movie theater (in a pandemic!) I started to cry and had to brace myself against my bed I was folding laundry on just picturing that. To make matters worse, I have been almost immobile from throwing my back out during New Year's and even though I was in so much pain, you kept me laughing so hard. I also studied Biology in college (Gig 'Em Ags) so listening to you guys figure out life expectancies and graphs got me going, too. Thanks so much for finding the funny in such a tough year! PS, I hope you guys choose this so I can hear Nate try to say my name.
Nate Bargatze- a man who cares about nothing but also tremendously cares about everything. Love the podcast guys!!!
Anytime y’all talk about animals, it’s the absolute best! Something about animals as the subject just turns the hilarity up to 11. Thanks and God bless.
Nate: "We got 400; well we can't read that many."
Aaron: "I could read that many."
*the next week
Aaron: “Well I would have to prepare for it, I could probably read 300.”
*Six months later
Nate: “Today we’re gonna see how many we can read, I think I can read 100, Buster thinks he could read 50 and Aaron is again making empty promises. He thinks he could read 400
*Nate barely makes it through 10, Aaron only gets through 101 and Bart reads 210
2020 has been the most infectious year in recent history thanks to Aaron’s infectious giggling. Keep up the well work!
Thank you Nate, Brian, Aaron, Laura, Harper, Holly & staff/crew.
My mental health has been troubling me. The fact that you have a sponsor for it is more important than anything.
Thank you!🙏🏻
That’s BIG!
But, this podcast has me actually laughing out loud constantly.
Thanks!
Keep on!❤️
Also, 41:00
🤣🤣🤣
I am surprised no one mentioned the reference to the song, “Downtown”, in an episode of Seinfeld when George didn’t focus on his assignment from his boss and his boss said the key to completing the assignment is “Downtown.” Love the podcast! Thank you for easing us out of 2020 and into 2021. It feels good to laugh. - One of the many Folks.
Oops. I listened again and I heard Nate say, “Seinfeld reference.” Sorry for the error.
Best episode ever! Nate was on a comedy roll. The sea turtle bit was so funny and Aaron’s laughter is so contagious. The way Nate is obviously thinking and speaking improv comedy during every episode.You might say you are not smart but you are a comedic genius which is the best kind of smart. Laughter is getting me through this time period and your podcast is my 1 reason this is definitely the best time to be alive! I agree with Nate’s philosophy we can choose to be optimistic so why not make that choice. I also agree with when he said” Why not just try, just try” people always say how lucky I am but it’s because I do exactly that I just try! Get first class upgrades all the time.
Hello folks! As a data architect, I can appreciate and hate graphs all at the same time. I am a classic data guy; I like to see it tables. There are a lot of people who love data visualizations and they keep me employed. You should research the Tableau Conference. It is absolutely insane. Data is currency today. In fact - Nate, Aaron, and Bar Chart should keynote the next conference.
Keep up the good work. This podcast is amazing.
I thought the Nate's fake statistic about the guy trying to win an Emmy was bad, then I hear the three of you trying to figure out how many milligrams are in a gram and wonder how you've been able to survive longer than a panguin in the wild. As a licensed pharmacist, I HIGHLY recommend you don't try to figure this stuff out on your own - your local community pharmacist is great at math and can advise on the recommended doses. Love the show and happy new year to you guys!
There were more than 3 times this episode where i just busted out laughing and screamed at the video “WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!”
Crying from laughing. Thanks y’all!
Nate: "We're gonna talk about positive things on this episode"
Aaron: "These are the 15 animals with the lowest chances of survival"
Nate isn't as far off on the Emmy percentages as he seems. Selecting 2 winners out of a pool of 4 candidates has 6 possible result combinations. If you are 2 of the 4 candidates you have an 83.34% chance of being 1 of the winners and a 16.67% chance of winning both.
I imagine Nate’s pastor with his head buried in his hands listening to Nate try and pronounce “Nicea” and “heretic”
Nate, Aaron and Bush’s Baked Beans!
Thank youuuuuu! I’m 34 and had a total knee replacement and at the same time I have a three-year-old and a six month old at home… The only moments of rest, recovery, sanity I have gotten have been listening to your podcast! This is like the Seinfeld of podcasts... A podcast about nothing and yet always perfect. How apropos!
David Drees
The turtle segment of this podcast may be my most enjoyable moment of all. Made me think of the next olympics where they line up 10,000 runners and fire the gun and only one runner makes it to the finish line. Runners dropping in huge numbers as the race progresses. Happy New Year to you Nate, Arlin, and Breadbowl

Sewer systems and access to clean water greatly increased around 1900. Infection and disease decreased dramatically as soon as we were able to efficiently get rid of sewage. Next time you flush remember how good you have it Folks! The tiolet is the most underrated invention of all time.
HELLO FOLKS! I'm Kyle M as well. However I am NOT a English teacher anywhere. I think the podcast is real good. Keep up the solid "work" Nathan, Bob's Burgers, & Aaron! I now start all my emails with HELLO FOLKS! I'm not sure if any one gets it aside from my wife. Both her and I could listen to the podcast etc. etc.
Was just thinking, Turr Lurr has to be a prime suspect in taking out Nate's face, and then Nate says it himself. I vote we need to hear his alibi
Please do an episode on the history of words where Nate has to read words like etymology, colonel, anemone, onomatopoeia, Worcestershire, mischievous, brigadier, and debauchery. I’m laughing just thinking about how hard Aaron and Brian would be laughing. Love the positivity and look forward to Wednesday’s because of you guys.
I just about died laughing at the aspirin calculation conversation. I had to pause because I literally could not breathe. "Now that I'm saying it out loud, it does sound like too much aspirin." You guys are amazing and I love sharing the podcast with people. Respect to the struggles of the turtles. Thanks Nate for keeping me informed!
While watching this podcast, I GASPED at some of the graphs that were shown. Another jewel guys.
I love this podcast! It really is the answer to the question that has not been asked! This is the new Seinfeld show❤❤❤
Pocket gophers are struggling because all that increased access to electricity and water has laundry washing through the roof. Love the show guys and the dynamic between the three of you. I feel like you guys would get together and do this even if no one was watching. This was a great episode. Brian, I see you man and enjoy your passive aggressive corrections of Nate when he's out in left field (or on the bench). Discovering this show was definitely a bright spot to 2020.
"There's a lot of nonsense work getting done." -professional comedian on his podcast
This Quote brought to you by a guy who is the Lou Gehrig of Nateland commenting folks. Obviously, there's plenty of nonsense to go around. This podcast has truly been a respite in a crazy year. Thank you guys!
I'll go proofread this now.
I went back to see if I had commented on every episode. You guys didn't read comments in the first 3 episodes. In the 4th episode, you read 1 comment (about Aaron's musical ability). The 5th episode was the first where you read comments. The 6th episode was the first one I commented on (although I did leave a response to a question on episode 3). Fear not though, Mr. Bates! I have gone back and commented on the first 5 episodes so you will not be lying when you say that I have commented on every episode.
Thanks for proofreading. If there’s one thing I come to this podcast to see, it’s smart people talkin’ pretty!
Dearest Folks,
I am not a comedian, but I am a huge comedy fan and Nate is one of my favorites. I have been writing jokes during quarantine and having Nate say my comment could be done as a joke was unbelievable. Love the podcast and all three of you are hilarious. Would love to see some more of Brian and Aardvarks acts featured on the show. (Had to switch up the name game in solidarity with a fellow Brian)
You had me laughing so hard I scared my sleeping cat! Aaron's spells of uncontrollable laughter are very contagious- you know his imagination is running wild but he cracks himself up so much he can't get the words out!
One of your best episodes, great way to end 2020. Happy New Year!!
I don’t know what Kyle M is talking about I watch Nate almost exclusively to find out what things are “doing real good”
Hey guys the podcast has brought so much joy and misery to my household. The pronunciation of penguin has created a divide in my family. We are from Connecticut and we pronounce it pen-guin. I love the new way saying PANG-uin and every time I say it my 7 year old daughter and 4 year old daughter fight with me over it. I say panguin no less than 15 times a day and makes me laugh uncontrollably. My daughters and wife are no longer amused but the show goes on folks. Keep up the good work fellas
Love it. Fan and just found this Podcast. Happy New Year! I will tell all my friends! Good luck
Love this podcast!! It would be cool if you guys could do a little tour of all the stuff in the podcast room. Lots of cool stuff on the shelves
Super funny!! These episodes just keep getting funnier!! Thanks so much!!
Nate tries to hum a few bars of "Downtown" by Petula Clark to see if he can get Aaron to recognize it. Aaron begins singing lyrics from Fallout Boy. I almost choked to death taking a sip of my water as that happened. Aaron wins Millennial of the year!
Is Holly a service dog? Aaron was doing a particular wheezy laugh toward the end of the episode and she came over to check on him.
I spent this year learning to do life again after going through a divorce. You guys have brought joy to my life again, and this episode made me realize that even though life sucks, it's always worth living. Keep up the work, guys and Happy New Year!
Listening to you guys talk about math and statistics is as funny as Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson trying to figure out the computer in Zoolander, just hilarious! Love the show folks! Thanks for making me laugh all the time and keeping it light.
I fkn giggle consistently with this crew 🤣🤣 great times
They should’ve saved the bricks and put them back together with Nate’s face all jumbled like a Picasso painting.
I love that Brian is the only one who Holly goes up to because no one else gives her any attention
I would love a Holly episode! Or at least a Holly segment. Other episode ideas: aliens, famous bank robberies, conspiracy theories, serial killers (I would love Nate's take on true crime)
Bring on the alien episode, and the mini powdered donut challenge! Nate, Bison, Jermaine and Aaron are an " unbelievable" team, keep up the great work fellas, thanks for making my week again!
Best podcast ever!!
Great ep folks! I liked imagining Broccoli in a 1900s hospital and the nurse hands him like a Solo cup of 150 aspirin and Nate’s in the other bed next to him nodding encouragingly. Hilarious episode and I love it when you guys laugh too.
Always a pleasure, much love to you folks!
How dare you mock my family's deepest held belief in Toyotathon. I thought this was the last safe space my family and I could go without the constant ridicule. I will never listen again! See you next week.
Please do an episode on the history of words where Nate has to read words like etymology, colonel, anemone, onomatopoeia, Worcestershire, mischievous, brigadier, and debauchery. I’m laughing just thinking about how hard Aaron and Beavis would be laughing. Love the positivity and look forward to Wednesday’s because of you guys.
Nate and team,
I love the podcast. Nate can say anything and I’ll laugh. His delivery is the best. Nate, Brian and Aaron make up an awesome team and hilarious banter. Clean comedy can still be funny!
Let’s talk about those cakes for those dogs
The thought that the dump truck might not know that it went through a wall made me think of a story from college about a guy that's now a doctor. It could even be doctor Wilson, fan of the show.
While watching college hoops and pre-gaming to go to watch Marquette play Nova at the Bradley Center, I was yuckin it up with a few guys next to me who I had just met. One of them kept wincing at random, so I asked, "Hey man, you doin alright?" thinking maybe he was feeling sick or something.
He says "no, I'm good, my back is just killing me right now."
A few seconds later, his buddy goes, "OH YEA! You got hit by a car last night" to the surprise of the guy with the hurt back. It is one of the only times I did a spit take with a drink. We all got kicked out of the bar because I spewed over the bar, but we ended up going to the game together and becoming friends.
The guy that got hit by the car is now a successful surgeon.
Nate must have heard about Wayne Gretzky’s mail from John and Jane Doe.
Heads up! This comment is the wellest!!!
After hearing the well and good adverb yada yada comment, I had to share this story with you guys...
Why we love Nate so much - my sister had a Nate moment even before Nate came into our lives!
She is an amazing 2nd grade teacher who excels at many things. Proper use of words is not one of them.
Several years ago, our family was playing the game Taboo on vacation. My Brother in law was trying to get my sister to say the word "constable" without using too many obvious words and according to his clues, she guessed - SHERIFF!
He looked at her and smiled giving her an encouraging nod and told her to "say it different".
She loudly yelled back at him... "SHERF"!
We all looked at her in disbelief.
It.
Was.
The.
Best.
Day.
Nate - Thanks for being amazing and at times amazingly clueless!
#Bargatze/Belvedere/Weber 2024
Nates turtle bit xD goooodnight!
I drive seafood around New England for a living and have listened to so much Nateland podcast that Nate’s voice has become the voice in my head for the past week...Now my thoughts have a southern accent and my IQ, and vocabulary has dropped rapidly.
Love the podcast. Thank you for not drilling down on any points. Let them flow. We don’t need side’s. Hello folks!
God, I love this podcast, etc. etc. etc.....
An episode about it being the best time to be alive...I heard about the Nashville bomber, 5G being something that, apparently I should be worried about, and what happens to the decomposing bodies of "pain-guains" after unknown forces take their lives. I could use a lot of words to describe this episode, but disappointing is certainly not one of them. I love the Podcast and always look forward to laughing uncontrollably through every episode. Keep up the good work, gents!
I have a friend that worked at Walmart during college. One day a toddler ran in front of the 20 carts he was pushing. He couldn't stop and knocked the kid over. The kid was fine, but my friend earned the nickname baby-killer or "BK" for the rest of his time working there. I'm glad to know that he's in good company now with Bocephus.
Brian: hundreds of thousands of people living above the poverty line yearly.
Aaron: hm
Brian: hundreds of thousands getting quality drinking water.
Nate: good for them.
Brian: hundreds of thousands having internet access
Aaron: that one's huge.
Classic Nateland. I was rolling at that one. Keep up the good work guys. Love the podcast
Gents, not to bring it back to the Krispy Kreme challenge again but I have some info you might find interesting. I went to North Carolina State University in Raleigh NC. Every year around February we had the Krispy Kreme Challenge. It is a 2.5 mile run from campus to the downtown Krispy Kreme shop where competitors stop, eat a dozen donuts, and drink a pint of milk... Then you race 2.5 miles back to the start point. Thousands of people participate and raise money for charity each year. I did it all 4 years and vomitted my first 2. Ran with a group crazy friends who would stomp on the donuts in the pavement to make them smaller... We are all Marines/Sailors now so it makes sense. Great show guys.
I just watched Tennessee kid for like the 4th time. I noticed that Nate has a stage version of his mic adjusting quirk.
On the podcast he constantly adjusts the mic but doesn’t actually move it. On stage he constantly grabs open his jacket and pulls the zippers in closer together , but it doesn’t actually move much. He adjusts his jacket on stage the way he adjusts the mic on the podcast.
“I’m not an adverb guy.” ☠️
I’m 22 and in Wisconsin, ROLL OUT THE BARREL is all about our Packers. Great song. Great Polka.
Never laughed so hard watching a podcast than when Beardless said pi is 3.14 etc etc. Capped off the funniest episode yet
Aaron with the Fall Out Boy reference might be my favorite part of this podcast ever. Not a terrible singing voice either. Glad he’s got a back up plan.
Also Aaron would probably be more familiar with “Downtown” because it’s in Lost
Hilarious rant on the animals, I almost choked to death on my water 😂😂😂
I feel like you guys HAVE to do a food challenge series. Just knock out a different challenge every week or two.
I would also like to propose that every week you have a list of 5-10 words that Nate has to try to pronounce AND guess what they mean. That or read a page from Shakespeare stories. The highlight of each podcast is when he reads the comments and messes up names/words.
At first I heard "trunk" so I'm thinking somebody drew an elephant over Nate. I quickly jumped to TH-cam and had a good laugh!!!
I can’t believe Nate & Briar Patch didn’t reference “The Bottle Deposit” episode of Seinfeld during the “Downtown” discussion. Jerry’s delivery of the “How can you lose?” lyric at Monk’s is classic.
I don't understand why someone would give this video a thumbs down.
31:33 I love how for two seconds Aaron and Blackman can’t tell if Nate is kidding about Turr Sagore being real or if he really is that stupid.
Now I understand why the idea of ninja turtles resonates with so many people.
