I think we gotta give Balto some more love as it seems he works very hard to keep this crazy train on the tracks

[@MattPrice2023]

Nate, Brian and Bootylicious are always hilarious. I can't wait for my weekly "Hellllo Folks!"

[@chrisradcliffe6928]

Hello hosts! Y’all should do an episode on idioms. It would be fun to see what y’all think they mean before you look them up. Keep up the great job making the world a better place!

[@DJDadMouth]

I love that the game for the audience has become "What do these guys think phrases mean?"

[@chrisradcliffe6928]

@@DJDadMouth for real!

[@taylonr1]

I'd like to hear Nate try and pronounce idioms

[@AgateDad]

I absolutely love Nics laugh, so contagious!

[@luisitaps]

When Bubblegum said “colorada” instead of “Colorado” 😂

[@mrcreosote100]

I love that Holly is just in there 😂

[@ringa8600]

The best part was watching Brian's smiling face as Nate tore into someone else for once

[@keynotekyle3105]

Be bidonkadonk debacle had me in tears!

[@TravisWhite]

Hello folks! We listened to multiple episodes on the way to and from Myrtle Beach this week. My 8 year old son was absolutely laughing his head off along with me and my wife. Thanks for the good, clean fun. Keep it up!

[@arthurnewman8435]

My food order name is joe, no one can spell Arthur and they just don’t get it when I say Art.

[@bradmcmurdie3424]

Enjoyed this episode listening to all of you. Especially the captain, Asparagus, Broccoli, and Nori.

[@SuicidalBlond]

Buttercup seemed a little jealous of Nic in the beginning, with the mirthful comment. I wonder if he’s “worried” that he might get replaced on Nickland.

[@Lipkicky000]

Getting sick and tired of people making fun of Botch...his farm auction story had me rolling. ps. Luckily me rolling didn't put me in another state.

[@thrift5]

It's really funny how Nick thinks that the nicknames we have for Bridge all have to have meaning...meaning has no power in Nateland

[@petero1917]

Great show!

[@bigal5559]

I think the biggest hoax is Nate thinking he can be a scratch golfer on a diet of gummy worms and Krispy Kreme.

[@JeremyKGover]

Due to multiple jobs and other commitments, my wife and I rarely get to spend our birthdays, anniversary or Valentine's Day together too. Our trick is we pick the closest date to the milestone that we're both free and celebrate on that date instead. We've found that, as a result, we battle much lighter crowds. It's like God's little milestone gift to us. Happy anniversary, guys. (You too Nick.)

[@curtevartt9064]

Finally an episode about the patriots dynasty

[@timscollo6705]

When talking about how good fake twitter accounts have gotten, Nate chooses to focus on them using the same picture as you - as if that is the most impressive thing they do, or even remotely difficult. Well done, thanks for the laughs.

[@Jshoe518]

Why does Nate think he has to yell in the mic for the first 30 seconds of every show? I usually listen at night falling asleep, only to be abruptly awakened by "HELLO FOLKS" about every 90 minutes when youtube starts the next video

[@Neisteter]

I think Nik things John Doe is spelled "John Dough" based on his comment about there maybe being some big football player with that name.

[@TheChampion145]

As much of a hassle you guys give Bar Fight, I think he's pretty intelligent, and I enjoy his thoughts. You guys are awesome, and i look forward to your show every week!

[@thewalkingdunning-krugeref9664]

A little person, Nate? This is the direction we're going with the podcast? Okay. Nah, great episode as usual.

[@travisandrist289]

I haven’t finished to episode yet, but I would love to hear you guys talk about Ghost hunting. Hoax, not sure. I have had my fair share of experiences but that would make a great “hoax” topic.

[@SurrealiS]

Yea I think just ghosts/supernatural would be a great episode, specially w Halloween coming up!

[@dominickscarcella9074]

Hey guys, love the pod. Nate, I have a comment on you saying you need your eyes to sell a joke. While I agree with you for the majority of cases, my favorite comedian of all time (no offense y'all) was Mitch Hedberg who - as you probably know - famously not only wore aviators on stage, but also regularly looked at his feet. Mitch said it was due to his anxiety. But, it definitely didn't hinder his joke telling. Just wondering how you feel about that, if any of you have thoughts on this. Thanks and keep it up!

[@cbailey4322]

Frank Abagnale Jr. Not Abigail.

[@jedidiahfaulkner6845]

Can I ask why no one called Nate out for his butchering of the word “ badonkadonk”? There isn’t even a “g” in the word.... Love the show fellas. Thanks for always giving me a little escape from the craziness of life. I am a student pastor with 3 children under 5. So I know about crazy. I appreciate all of you. Yes, even you, Brian.

[@barfymann362]

Looks like Nate has been enjoying his new mattress a little too much.

[@nate3231]

“No you can’t rape my mother with a knife!”

[@jasonx9272]

I’m curious about Nates stance on this but I heard “Silver War” instead of Civil. Does that mean he thinks it’s 2nd best? If so, how? Why?🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Jake_Stevens]

When did Nate start coaching the Carolina Panthers? Congrats on the new gig!

[@bratsbeerspodcast1493]

I know some wealthy families and they use the phrase "expensive fences" when they buy the homes around them so they don't have neighbors. Also, how long is it going to take for Bagel Bites to start his own podcast called Batesland?

[@camhoneyager]

If we wanna try and use logic regarding the pirate eye patch, it would make sense that they did it because most of their time is spent working and are likely going back and forth between below and above deck while completing their tasks. The rumor of it having to do with fighting sounds cooler than the truth. I also know nothing about pirates.

[@crhismac]

I think that you could convince Nick that Bartlebee’s name changes every 2 minutes which is why everyone calls him different names.

[@rypwilson]

Listening to Nate is like listening to that character Fred Armisen did on weekend update where he keeps starting sentences but never finishes a thought. Nic is a great addition to Aaron and Belch. I listen to you guys while working daily. Love the podcast. Fred Armisen clip kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2fLop5_mNefZpI 1:30

[@zh1714]

Shoutout from El Paso, Texas where we mostly certainly(I hope) do not have drug rings

[@webby37]

Nick sounds identical to Bill Simmons. That's all.

[@GregCannon1202]

100,000 babies born every minute would equate to 52.6 billion babies born every year. 85,000 babies born every minute would equate to 44.7 billion babies born every year. What percentage of those billions of babies would be named Breakfast in honor of this podcast?

[@taylonr1]

I was really hoping the group would convince Nic that he's a hoax

[@andreileczfalvi6406]

Hello, hoax!

[@CSimonson]

Can Mick become a permanent addition to the Podcast? He is awesome!

[@yankblan]

If Nik stays, I’m bailing on this podcast. His voice, laughter and forced giggles are annoying as hell. Couldn’t get through ten minutes last week and today. Hope he goes, that would suck to lose this midweek show.

[@irenfrew]

Didn’t mean to offend bed rest, nor did I mean to start a feud between you guys and the city of Rockford, especially since I’m not even from there. In all fairness I thought he was your dad, so I was waiting for him to do magic but instead he just kept telling jokes, which was confusing. P.S. It was funny how everyone got so upset by me saying he wasn’t funny, then almost immediately after had a 5 minute conversation about how “non-comics” can tend to get offended by you guys ragging on people. Either way, you guys reading comments is the best for all us fans, Bania is a bigger man than I for picking comments that might use him as the punchline. Made my year hearing Nate mispronounce my name on air, I will wear that as a badge of honor for the rest of my life.

[@KLMJRM2009]

Dweeb

[@lockermcdonald6704]

Nate still hasn't pronounced badonkadonk correctly lol.

[@reynoldsseale8384]

I came here for this comment😂

[@CABHC]

I am probably watching an unhealthy amount of Nateland lately, but I feel like I am hanging out with three friends; and I feel like with all that is happening right now, I need that.

[@Lincoln21-n3r]

When that one comment said "He wasn't funny then either", I feel like that was an HR demonstration of what it looks like when the line is crossed. I get it that we all kind of make fun of baseball, but it's supposed to be fun. Keep your chin up breakfast, you are definitely funny, funnier than that guy at least. Also, I loved the episodes of It Could Be Better when Nick was a guest, it's been awesome to hear him on this podcast as well. Thanks again for all the laughs, from ALL of you (that includes you too blueberry).

[@christinaelle5843]

Came here to say this. Totally agree, that comment made me cringe.

[@SuicidalBlond]

I agree. I feel like if they did a slow motion reaction on Butterfly’s face after that comment, it would be on par with a super sad after school special scene about bullying. I love that the guys stuck up for him.

[@fearofaflatearth]

Baghead knows where his seat at the table is

[@ethanhiggins4649]

Nate’s pronunciation of unfamiliar words kills me. It’s like he tries the first three letters and then freestyles the rest. If he doesn’t recognize the word after the first syllable, you will not be able to recognize it either after he gets done with it. Good thing for Nate, Breadcrumbs and Aaron are always there to somehow interpret the mess and get him back on track. Love the show, I look forward to it every week. You guys are the best in the podcast game.

[@Nateland]

thanks!

[@angie7164]

Is this not the way you pronounce words? This completely nailed the way I do it.

[@nicholasbutcher7586]

Today I learned that 51,840,000,000 babies are born every year. Fascinating!

[@keithburkey125]

I'm starting to look forward to Nicole's Butcher's cameo appearances in the comments as much as I look forward to the podcast.

[@skaggsywaggsy2723]

Aaron coming to Buttermilk's defense over the Rockford person's comment made my week. Can't wait to see you fools in Indy

[@j-hodge-productions]

Want to know the biggest hoax of them all? This “Aaron is a secret genius” thing. I don’t know how he convinced you guys of that. My source: We lived together in college. P.S. Aaron - sorry I missed your call the other day. I moved to a new apartment last week, so I’ve been pretty busy. We’ve been playing phone tag for a while. My bad. Talk to you soon.

[@arthurnewman8435]

I wish Patrice stayed on the office, him and Craig had some great scenes interacting with Steve.

[@evansolomon169]

If Nik becomes a permanent member, the podcast needs to be renamed "Three and a Half Men" Because Biscuits is half a man.

[@JamonAbercrombie]

"zeitgeist" should be the title of Aaron's album

[@rowlika4599]

1:34:16 everyones face when nick said 9/11 lol

[@BigGameAirsoft]

So Nic says “Unbelievable” wayyyy more than Nate does. Also, this the only episode where the term “unbelievable” would be used appropriately and almost never is.

[@davidlewis2723]

Whenever I hear Nate pronounce his last name “Bar-get-zee ” instead of “Bar-got-zee” I think of when Seinfeld’s cousin Artie corrects Jerry’s pronunciation of his last name from “Le-veen” to “La-Vine”. “Yeah ‘La-vine’....and I’m Jerry Cougar Mellencamp”. Anyway, I love the show. Seinfeld not Nateland. Just kidding! You guys are great and my wife and I are always thoroughly entertained by you.

[@liamoneill-hawthorne8790]

I'm sure Nick is a great comedian but have you ever seen someone strike out as many times as he does. Its like that terrible feeling of saying something that you think is hilarious in front of all your friends and then nobody and I mean nobody laughs. Love the podcast Nate, Aaron and bedtime! keep up the good work

[@robdangelo5136]

You should have titled this episode "Hello Hoax"

[@tophat3]

I watched this episode and the immediately went to see you all tonight in Louisville. It was an incredible show! Definitely weird being at a comedy show in your car but your mixture of prerecorded videos really made it a unique experience. Nate, you crushed as usual. Your special is a shoe in. I was also very happy to finally see Nic, Aaron and Brenda perform. All great sets. Thank you all for a great live show and keep the great podcast episodes coming.

[@sethharbison1630]

Two questions for Aaron: 1. How many hats do you own? 2. How many of those hats are Notre Dame? Also, Dusty Slay needs to be a guest!

[@AaronWebercomedy]

1. a lot 2. most

[@JiaNaDaRen15]

Been listening since episode 1. I knew Brian got silly nick names, but could never figure out the extremely simple system... I could feel the embarrassment wash over me as they grilled Nic for not understanding the nickname system. Nic, you're not alone bud. Great ep as always! Keep 'em coming!

[@Jshoe518]

Nic looks like a knock off Logan Paul that you didn't let air dry after washing like that tag said to.

[@chefxhyrule242]

😭😭😭

[@caleblee9532]

I like when Benadryl tries to tell Nate that it's an ESPN article at 49:10 and Nate just keeps on trucking

[@chandlershaw9157]

Nates back and forth with nik proves his own hypothesis that if you say/do something with confidence, people will believe you. Also Bam Bam over there needs to were a hit, the light shining off of his forehead is blinding lol. Love the show keep doing a good job.

[@robertwood8700]

Nate, my wife hates stand up comedy. I've showed her tonnes and without fail she hates it. I finally showed her your special, using your clean comedy as a selling point. It was a hail Mary....and she loved it. Its the only special I've ever seen her laugh at. She even asked to hear more and she loved your recent Late Night Set. So thank you for finally giving us some stand up to watch together. She's now watching the podcast and she thinks Bilf is hilarious. In short, she only likes clean comedy and thinks Boo-boo is funny, so im starting to think my 28 year old wife is actually a 70 year old woman. Keep it up, yall are great

[@glennrudolph]

We must be married to the same person. My wife hates comedy and I don’t get it. It’s crazy to me.

[@barlowwe]

Is your wife a Scorpio? My parents and husband are all Scorpios and none of them like comedians. I’m a Capricorn and I love them.

[@alyssajg91]

Started back at episode 1 and this one made me laugh when Nate says he would want to talk to the guy who doesn’t believe in outer space.. knowing that Dusty is coming soon. P.S. Brian has dealt with so much heckling, I wanted to let him know he’s truly appreciated and makes up a huge part of this show!! 🫶 See ya on Dec 16 in Davenport, Nate. You just had to reschedule my date night for some silly SNL thing thanks a lot. 😄

[@austinpietro5168]

Nate if you're reading this comment please stop reading it now... And proceed to play footsie with Aaron. But be cool about it trust me it'll be funny. maybe

[@kendrahL]

Hi Folks! When ballon boy happened I was at work and we had the TV on and after about 5 minutes of watching, I stood up, said it was totally fake and walked out of the room. My boss told me I was a heartless monster and said we should all be praying for this poor kid. So, that was awkward for him in the end. Anyway, love the show and very much look forward to hearing what you, Aaron, Booklet and Mick are generally confused about in the world.

[@Kipp_Hackman]

You guys briefly talk about giving fake names at restaurants, and I have to say I am a victim of that kind of behaviour. One of my best friends is named Cole, and my name is Blake. Whenever we are hanging out, getting a coffee or ordering at a restaurant my friend Cole says his name is Blake. He says whenever he tries to say his own name they don’t hear him or they get it wrong. However, I’m pretty sure Blake is way harder to understand because I’ve lived with the name and let me tell you there hasn’t been one time when I don’t have to repeat myself. So if he is ordering in first and says his name is Blake(which I’ve learned he does it whether I’m there or not) they somehow just accept it on the first try. And thenI have to walk up like a moron and tell the same person that my name is also Blake. That’s usually when they look at me like I’ve just tried to pull the dumbest prank ever and say “is that your real name?” At which point I just have to say no my name is Cole because that’s a lot easier than explaining the truth. Love all what you guys do, hopefully you can make it up to Vancouver at some point!

[@caitlinblanchard939]

I will personally sponsor this podcast if you PLEASE dedicate an episode to Nate trying to pronounce words. I’m only 8 minutes in listening to Nate TRYING to read the comments and I’m for real crying!

[@wall1955]

I saw you on a Random Golf and now my wife are big fans and this pod cast is a lot of fun with all the crap going on. I want you guys to know that and you talked about TGIF so I am a lot older than you guys it was the new season of Saturday morning cartoons

[@Hokie200proof]

The balloon boy story is actually pretty sad, infuriating. The father got pressured into pleading guilty because the Fort Collins PD was falsifying evidence, trying to punish him for making fools of them. Taking him at his word, balloon boys dad didn't know his son was in the balloon when he called the police. The kid was screwing around with the balloon, even though he knew he shouldn't have been, triggered the auto-inflate button, knew the balloon was gonna take off and ruin what his Dad was trying to do with it, panicked and hid in the attic because he didn't know what else to do. The statute of limitations on his case just ended so balloon boys dad release a long video about everything that went down. I couldn't find the original video that Richard Heene did (balloon boy dad) but this guy did a really good breakdown on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6nKqp1tnJqLkLs

[@freezied1]

Our college roommate wanted a nickname. He was in to music, so we started calling him Shy Thead and told him it meant “knower if songs”. 2 Years later we burst the bubble by telling him that it was spelled with an ‘I’ instead of a ‘Y’. Too late to change it now because his entire friend group knew him as Shythead. Love the show!

[@danjohnson9712]

I was home on leave from the Navy back in the early 2000s and my mom and I drove around for a couple hours trying to find "Outhose Springs Bottled Water" just for the novelty of it after seeing billboards all over town. We went so far as asking several grocery stores if they sold it. Turned out to be an advertising gimmick of some sort.

[@jus1026]

I really enjoy this show! Watched the first one and am surprised to see it's still going. Keep up the good work. Ps. Byron is a good sport and should get a raise.

[@tommorse2387]

I just rewound this part so many times, like a real whole lot of times... "can throw a pitch 168 miles per hour... thats a real guy, is he really? yea, keep going....."

[@JakeBroJake]

I’m used to listening on KZbin while driving but I watched it this week and watching Aaron silently shake in laughter all episode is so worth it.

[@joshuacaleb6648]

I remember when I was a kid and TGIF was a thing on Friday night tv. I used to be so excited to come home and watch the best shows on tv. I feel the same way now about Wednesday mornings. You guys are the best!

[@LJHYND]

The Oct. 8 Cleveland show was the first time I saw or heard Bandicoot’s standup, and I thought you were hilarious, Dude! (and I’m not just saying that because you interacted with me on Twitter @LJHYND). :-)

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

They have talked about the Japanese soldier before, right? There are multiple things I want to fact check about that episode, but it's probably best just to assume the "facts" from this show are like the "second-hand news" guy on SNL. As a Social Studies teacher, I would show my students a video about how the marshmallow farmers were having a rough year due to "mallow mold." The hope of the exercise was for students realize they need to double check things before they believe them or put them in a paper. Most of them were able to figure out that marshmallows didn't grow on trees, but there were sometimes a few needed follow-up conversations. I'll go proofread this.

[@glennrudolph]

The ‘intelligence level’ and ‘speaking time’ have an indirect relationship on the show. Aaron, Bryan, Nate, Nick.

[@isaacchassman6453]

That is often the case

[@pacatack2]

Don’t think this is gon get in the next video, but everytime I think about how clean this show is I think about the stories I’ve heard about Nate being completely hammered around the NY guys 😂😂😂😂😂

[@krazyazgirl]

The best decision Nate has made is grow his beard! Have you watched his young babyface stand ups lately?? Love the podcast, helps me escape, thanks guys.

[@kmellenberg]

At real estate closings, they usually have to compile a list of aliases for the person buying the house. Can you imagine how many pages of aliases would be needed for Breakfast Bates after doing this podcast?

[@Brolaire101]

You guys should add #comedy and #podcast to the tags to help with discoverability. Love the podcast keep up the great work!

[@RonnieLD3]

Nate convincing Nic that for a hoax episode, there’s not many hoaxes on their list, was great. Watching Erin lose it and Baby Powder play along was my favorite. (There’s been so many nicknames for Breakfast I’m not sure if “Baby Powder” has been used, if so insert “Bubble Gum” as my second option) P.S. huge fan of you all (Nate, Brian, Aaron, and Nic) keep ‘em coming.

[@liaisabella8451]

If brillo pad really flew once a year for his whole life then I would guess he's flown approximately 50 times. However, based on Nate's comment that he's probably flown 5 times, I have to assume he is only 5 years old. Unbelievable. He does kind of remind me of Frosty the Snowman though, (in a good way) and that guy is only a few days old so what do I know.

[@noahstalcup155]

35:50 Has anyone else noticed how Nate ALWAYS says "we're" instead of "we'll". I only have one timestamp there, but it happened multiple times in this episode alone. Keep an ear out, and I guarantee you will hear it in the next one too.

[@dontscotty11295]

Great show guys and Pigeon Forge is amazing. Tennessee is a beautiful place in general!

[@deepthought1987]

I never want to be talked to while in the audience 😳

[@chrisludwig7964]

Bedrest Beaufort Breakfast is super jealous of Mick. Arnold Smallmer is still tight. Love the pod. Do an episode about golf!

[@nicoletchidester]

i went to high school with a kid named john do, but it was pronounced like “doe”

[@BarbershopHarmony]

Not sure if it's considered a hoax since we didn't let it go on for days on end but, for April Fools Day 2019, we at the Barbershop Harmony Society announced that in January 2022 we would be hosting our annual Midwinter event in Nome, Alaska. We created an event logo, had a webpage with hotel information and released a teaser video. We knew the staff would get calls once the "announcement" went live so we presented the info at an all-staff meeting the day before... and there were cheers! When we told them that this was an April Fools Day joke there was audible grunting. You would think the fact that Nome is only accessible by plane and dog sled -- let alone the notion of Alaska in January -- would be a dead giveaway but we still got calls.

[@RustCole01]

Lmao. Such a good call when Nate pointed out that, the article about Man'Ti Teo getting catfished was definitely written by someone who watches ZERO sports. Calling the Heisman Trophy Ceremony an "Espn Award Show" is borderline insulting to a sports fan. Hopefully that writer is never assigned to write about Mike Tyson. They will end up describing Tyson losing a "boxing game" to Buster Douglas.

[@bropitt]

Aaron trying to hold it together with Nate telling Nick the owner of the museum is 7 feet tall, after the whole podcast is Nate going over stories about fooling Nick is GOLD!

[@nikbrownell]

It bugs me how many people in the comments spell Nic's name N I K. It's especially bothersome because of how many people spell my name N I C. When it's in writing, there is no excuse for misspelling it! Nic, does it bug you when people misspell your name when it's written out right in front of them? Maybe I just need lay off caffeine because I'm all worked up.

[@amandatan9092]
