Nateland | Ep #12 - Grocery Stores

[@lennapeter1924]

Watching Aaron get laughing when someone is telling a story is the best; his laugh is completely contagious!

[@kristineplummer7607]

Hes my favorite.

“Call me Brian, I appreciate it.” - Breakfast Bates

[@Lukeatm1]

Aaron and Bunion playing sad songs and crying while on a road trip fits perfectly with what I know about them so far. Love this podcast and getting to hear Nate's expertise on comedy and his genuine lack of knowledge on basically everything else.

[@reynoldsseale8384]

My wife asked me what I'm listening to that's making me laugh so much? Never in a million years would I have thought the answer would have been a podcast about grocery stores. Keep up the Lord's work boys.

[@Favorites63891]

Branson and Aaron explaining how college works to Nate and then Nate completely discrediting how college works is the embodiment of this podcast.

[@joyspellmann4312]

One more thing, I just ordered the Hello Folks t-shirt a few days ago and hadn’t even heard this episode yet. I just thought it was funny. Now it’s even funnier and I’m im proud to sport around a Brianism!

"you're the only kid that could already read when you heard about Disney" lmao

[@jonathanorick3577]

Paying it forward: My family and I were going to vacation a couple weeks ago and stopped at a Wendy’s for a bite to eat. The lobby was obvious closed due to Covid so drive thru was the only option. Me, my wife, and my brother were in one car, first in line, and my mom, dad, and our sons were in the car behind us. We ordered and when we got to the window, I said I’d like to pay for mine and the vehicle behind me. You could tell the poor girl working the window didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. After some lengthy explaining, she let me pay for both. My dad got to the window and she told him his was paid for. He said he would like to pay for the car behind him and the girl at the window told him “we don’t do that here anymore”.

[@bobhaffner5902]

[@WalkingwithWendy]

I’m shocked this story didn’t receive love from Nate.

[@FiberFairy22]

jesus (but the PIF was awesome!)

[@gracesloan6906]

OKAY... so this episode touches on 2 subjects that I have just been waiting to talk about my whole life... 1. I too have always thought that the ‘D’ in ‘Disney’ looks like a ‘G’ But more importantly, 2. GROCERY. CARTS. NEED. CUPHOLDERS. We can send people to the freaking moon but I can’t go shopping with my coffee in hand? Don’t they know that if there’s any point in my life when coffee is necessary, it’s while I’m at the grocery store? I mean it is ALWAYS cold and I NEVER want to be there. P.s. LOVE the podcast you guys! I too am from the South and I love how y’all’s ramblings remind me so much of home. The “get off my property” bit in particular was PERFECT. Keep up the great work!

[@rob0tic931]

I feel like constantly doing this to Bibbity is how a supervillain gets made.

I know someone who refuses to use the self-checkout unless they get the employee discount. Also, the rant about the self serve ice cream was too relatable, and I laughed way too hard!

Never been a Podcast guy but powered through all of these episodes in 3 days. Felt like I was sitting in the room with Nate, Brian and Arthur. But a few episodes back you read a comment from someone about the happiness your theme song brings to them when they hear it start. So naturally, you changed it. Great to see you doing what the people want!

[@yvonnern2006]

It’s so funny that they are teasing Brian about opening every joke with “hello folks” and a big hand wave because that is so close to what Dusty does! Literally holding up his hand while he says,” we’re having a good time” after every couple of jokes!😂

[@BUWOOD9]

Aaron’s rollover 3 times to Nashville joke would be great for the stage. As a big fella myself, it has always been both astounding and hilarious that people feel comfortable to say things like that to a complete stranger. Love it.

[@LaurenWorman]

I ALWAYS thought the "D" in Disney was a "G" when I was little, too! Thought it was just a fancy word that wasn't pronounced as spelled.

[@VonRalls]

Man, my favorite podcasts are the ones where I feel like I'm sitting around chatting with my buddies. This is exactly that. I may have to try to go see Brunch in Lebanon in October.

Another great edition of finish Nate's thoughts yourself

[@timharper3390]

I’m not quite 50, but also remember the introduction of auto-opening doors at supermarkets etc. At the beginning, they were triggered by sensors under a big rubber mat until the electronic eye became more practical. Grocery stores hold fond memories.

After hearing about him attempting to stop an electric scooter, I’m convinced that Bahrain is the perfect sitcom character

[@zackmacdonald8236]

You guys keep topping yourselves every episode! Nate, Adam and Bania are an "unbelievable" trio. Hats. Friends. Comedy.

[@dealwithit48]

I am amazed Bartholomew did not Google "peanuts in coke". The history is pretty great, workers would do it to not touch their peanuts with their dirty hands, slightly mind-blown. Great podcast gents!

[@jeremyrains7688]

On the subject of fake slip and fall claims: I worked in insurance claims, both as a bodily injury adjuster (settling these claims with the attorneys), and most recently as a Special Investigator working fraud cases. There are some wild schemers out there with very little shame. Typically if there is such clear evidence of blatant insurance fraud, like we saw in the video, the person would have a very hard time finding an attorney to represent them, and usually have no other choice but to drop the claim or face charges. It's actually a very interesting world and could make for a good episode. Keep up the good work Nate Aaron and Bibgbong.

[@mrsmetter]

I love waking up, getting ready for work, and getting ready to go to sleep, listening to you guys. I've lived in Indiana since I was 4. I'm now 37, but I have southern roots. I also am really bad at reading, and just in general not that bright, with a horrible memory. So Nate, no disrespect, you inspire me, brother. Gollie.. love you guys. Also, I'm eating sour patch kids right now. Thank you for the laughs. William pinnick.

[@mrlandscapellc1131]

Bronco saying “So I won” after adding 100k to Aaron’s answer to DraftKings prize amount was classic.

[@jonathanchaney5896]

Just as his “I think they’re both dumb” to Zaldi and Gisney

[@kelancromer670]

Nate is like Homer Simpson. Homer: "Books are useless! I only ever read one book, To Kill A Mockingbird, and it gave me no insight on how to kill mockingbirds!"

[@Bette_Fontenot]

For years I thought the title was "Tequila Mockingbird," because we're so country where I'm from it always sounds like *tuh-keyell-uh mawk-in bird* when we say it. So I never really knew what it was called for the longest time.

[@carternichols1485]

Normally when people talk about Lebanon you ask whether they mean the Middle East or Tennessee, but when Brined Baits says Lebnin. No questions necessary.

[@PhoenixRising644]

Aaron you’re not alone. Anytime I look at the logo I see a “G” and think “Gisney”. Always have

[@wendybrack4127]

I know I'm late to the game, BUT YES AARON! It was Gisney! I'm 33 and every time a movie started, I was confused on why there was a "G".

[@colbypitts8838]

Aaron is spot on with peanuts in coke. It's totally a country thing. I grew up in Oklahoma and my dad and uncles all used to do it. Really enjoying the show, fellas! Thanks for letting us laugh along. Broccoli, keep your head up! We all appreciate you!

I can fore sure see Aaron as a loss prevention guy. Brakepads looks like he's only allowed to work the cigarette isle and Nate looks like a normal customer but always needs directions. Love the podcast guys!

I love your show! You all bring your own elements to the show... Brian is like a grown up Butters Stotch (from South Park).

Breakfast W. Bates looks like he is constantly mid-hiccup

[@BRIANWKELLY]

Hey guys - A couple days ago I got a call about a family emergency so the wife and I tossed the dog in the car and started the drive from Vermont to Florida. We put on episode #1 about 10 miles in. If you’re curious, you have about 1400 miles worth of content. Besides the GPS lady, nothing else came through the speakers. I can’t tell you how many times we laughed so hard that we swerved off the road. So you killed, almost. But seriously, great job. We love it and it took our minds off other things. Now go ahead and make another 1,400 miles of content for the drive home.

[@matthewtopp4253]

This episode is so funny im not even 30 minutes in and I wish I could like this video twice

[@lunabella21]

Aaron is right! The 4 swivel wheels are amazing cause IKEA has those and they are SO SMOOTH and so fun to push. The low-key Gisney genius wins again! Can’t believe a podcast about grocery stores had me riveted and wanting more. Great stuff, Nate, Aaron, & Beaker, keep it up.

[@treycephus4321]

If Barleycorn had a walkout song it would 100% be the theme song for Curb Your Enthusiasm. The thought of him just addressing everyone with a hearty “Hey Folks!” With that music playing had me rolling. Catch phrases have worked for several comedians..maybe this is Bilbo’s big break through. Completely agree with Nate on Totinos being your favorite pizza..around our house we call it “ghetto pizza” it is perfect in every way. Keep up the good work

Breakfast w/ Bates. Could be a cooking spinoff where Briar-patch(Bates) cooks and eats breakfast. Imagine the sounds. Just imagine.

[@johnmichaelschmidt2195]

The coffee shop I go to puts "$1, $2, $3, other" as the tip options on the ipad if your order is under 7ish dollars. If it is over $7 ish dollars it says "15%, 20%, 25%, other" I realized it outsmarts me and that if 15% of the total is under $1 it will offer $1 as the starting tip, if 15% is over $1 it will offer 15% as the starting tip. Anyways love the podcast, keep it up Nate, Aaron, and Barnabas!

[@TheShawman1]

Keep them coming! Nate, Aaron never disappoint. And it is time Beast gets some respect around here.

[@merrittp3670]

Aaron’s comment about why someone would go to the grocery store a few times a week. Me personally I go almost every other day For one reason. Because I can’t decide what I want to eat 6 days before I eat it. So I go once a week for the staples (eggs milk bread coffee dog food ect.) And then through the week I’ll go and get the stuff to make whatever meal I am feeling for that night or maybe the next day I don’t know what kind of psychopath can decide they want spaghetti 6 days ahead of time and stick with it.

I knew the name was Disney, but thought the logo just said “isney” and had an abstract character in front of it that looked like a backwards G. I was probably in middle school or high school when I figured it out.

[@katrockwell2942]

My husband and I own a small company in Houston and our first staff outing was a trip to Dallas to see Nate last year. This was also our first time to ride scooters. We had so much fun at the show and also with the scooters that we decided this would be an annual event we call “Scooteroo” (which doesn’t start with a B but one could argue would also be a good nickname for Bates) We we’re so bummed when everything got shut down this year and figured we wouldn’t do it. But as soon as we heard Nate was doing the drive-in show I immediately texted the team that “Scooteroo” was back on! Super thankful for y’alls willingness to get out there - these team events help our morale especially in a tough year like 2020.

[@Kruehrwein]

Nate, why were you that into scream in high school? Battlestar, you can take a joke so well. You all have great chemistry together. You play off each other so well. It’s unbelievable!

Love the podcast! My wife and I saw Nate and Brian at the Stardome in 2017. We all talked after the show for a while. It was funny because at the time i didnt know who Brian was. Brian took our picture with Nate and then we stood there to keep talking and Nate goes, y'all want a picture with Brian too? We were like, sure. Brian said y'all dont have to lol. But we got the picture and we've been following since. Keep up the good work. I tell everybody I know to listen to y'all. Including Aaron.

[@j-dub1062]

[@jenniferg8197]

I love this podcast for a lot of reasons, one of them being the fact that Nate asks the questions that at this point in my life I’m too embarrassed to ask. I never knew for sure what undergrad meant, but I’d much rather learn the definition in the form of Aaron and Barnacle explaining it to Nate like he’s 5 years old.

[@chriscam23041]

Definitely has become my favorite podcast

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

Hey Nate, Aldi doesn't have brand names but they do mostly just have their solid in house brands. It's a good thing too. One time my dad was sent to the store with "beans" on the list. He came back with all the beans: green beans, lima beans, kidney beans, and even great northern beans. Good thing he only had 1 brand to choose from! I agree with you on Meijer. I told my daughter (about Harper's age) that you went to Meijer for the first time and got an LOL doll. Her response, "I thought he would get toilet paper." I'll go proofread this now.

[@runningfunk1529]

At a wal-mart in Kansas City, we were getting checked out when amidst the clothing racks behind the checkout line, a woman started screaming and was on the floor. The cashier didn’t flinch. The woman continued hollering, and the cashier did NOTHING. We finally asked her if they needed to do anything. She rolled her eyes and says it happens 3-4 times a week, and they were trained specifically to do nothing and they will eventually get up and walk away. That’s gold.

[@slightlyandrew]

Nate's story about Big Red made me think about my friend's favorite drink, Dr. Enuf. It is made in Johnson City, TN where he grew up. You can only buy it in East Tennessee or at Cracker Barrels. His favorite flavor "herbal cherry" is only available in East Tennessee though so any time any of our friends are in that area we have to stop at a grocery store and buy them out for him.

I fully support Aaron on misunderstanding the spelling of Disney as a kid. My name starts with a "D". When I was younger, it looked to me that the "Disney" logo was spelled with a strange character that resembled a treble clef. It wasn't until after I had been working on writing cursive that I realized it was a legitimate part of the English alphabet. Enjoying the podcast since day 1. I hope to see Nate, and hopefully Aaron and Brian "broomstick" Bates soon in Oregon.

Also, I can’t believe y’all talked about grocery stores without mentioning the people who leave their buggy out in the open or taking up part of a parking spot.
