[@kruelshogun]

Nates impression of drunk uncle Dusty was possibly the funniest moment in Nateland history. I was in tears and my co workers probably think im a crazy person. Been listening since episode one and was never compelled to leave a comment. It made it even funnier that buzzkill Bates had to keep reminding everyone how strong a bear is. Dusty fits right in and I love the insight he provides. Keep up the great work guys!!

[@brianlee7226]

The only other time I laughed this hard was when Brian told his base-stealing story.

[@cartergwinn]

Nate’s confidence in his ability to be faster than a bear through the only terrain it knows and what is essentially it’s living room is very funny.

[@garrettlapham3188]

Nate needs to be on an episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" not only would we get to see Nate talking comedy with Seinfeld but fingers crossed a live iced coffee with cream ordering fiasco.

[@soniamarielozano]

I wish Jerry Seinfeld could see this!! This would be a great episode!!

[@garrettlapham3188]

@@soniamarielozano right!? The question is what car would Seinfeld bring for Nate? What is the greatest average American car?

[@mandyjamcknight]

@@garrettlapham3188 Honda Odyssey?

[@garrettlapham3188]

@@mandyjamcknight in looking back at all the cars featured so far most of the cars have been 80s or older. I would think it should be American made, maybe a Chevy Celebrity wagon?

[@cinnamonbrown9220]

This would be the most amazing thing!! What kind of car do you think they’d pick? I’m going with the Toyota Camry... pretty average

[@dancross5014]

Bates should try yelling “hey bird” just to let the hawk know he’s there next time. Maybe it wouldn’t take his dog

[@chrishanger3870]

What will really be great will be when you’re hiking and yell “hey bear!” and a BEAR goes “Hello folks!”

[@cynthiafrazier7767]

That's gold!

[@andrewpace3974]

They should make this scenario into a T-shirt.

[@CharlesHatcher]

🤣

[@jamesmcswain8120]

Black or griz. I'm sure one species say let's go folks.

[@PaulieD1122]

That would be hilarious lol

[@nikbrownell]

I have never related to Brian more than when you guys were talking about fighting bears. Grizzly bears are the strongest animals in this country and they have crazy thick skulls. Not only would the strongest human punch not hurt it, but you could hit it with your car and still lose that fight. I don’t mean to be a Tur Lur over here, but this conversation killed me.

[@WitchyTrista]

I don't think they are really comprehending how incredibly huge grizzly bears are.

[@anthonykirichenko1821]

Animal attacks! I'm SO happy I have a story to share since yall mentioned fighting a bear and Buzzkill was extremely skeptical about any human being able to take on a bear and win.. This happened about 3 years ago on a camping trip with some friends. We were all sitting by the fire having a few drinks and sharing some laughs when a bear wandered into our campsite presumably smelling the hotdogs we'd been cooking earlier. Everyone panicked and slowly tried to back away, no sudden movements sort of thing. One guy actually shouted 'hey bear' which we learned earlier that day from a passing Park Ranger. It did nothing. Everyone was slowly retreating and I wasn't having any of it (probably because I had one too many Budlights) and did my best ferocious roar to scare the big bear away. Turns out he wasn't having any of it either because he immediately attacked me slashing at my chest and arms. I'm not a big guy by any means but with the adrenaline pumping I managed to bring the bear down to the ground and started raining hammer-fists down upon this beast until it went out cold. I don't know how long the 'fight' lasted because I was losing so much blood and was extremely delirious and passed out, it could've been 30 seconds or 5 minutes. When I finally woke up I realized I dreamt the whole scenario. I've never gone camping and don't drink Budlight. If yall believed this lil tale well then I don't know if Dusty is the only crazy one sitting at the table.

[@kristineplummer7607]

I believed everything up until the "...I wasn't having any of it.." part. 🤣 you were having ALL of it.

[@AaronBellNow]

Dusty's "Grand Canyon is a conspiracy" take is exactly why Dusty had to be added to the podcast

[@michaelrich4051]

What’s the time stamp on that

[@rossferrans9429]

Watching Baked Beans be the sole voice of reason on fighting a bear was like witnessing Halley’s Comet, once in a lifetime. Thinking that 6% of Americans can beat a bear in a fight is as believable as Barnacle beating male pattern baldness.

[@njalva3]

A few weeks back Joe Rogan was talking with Shane, Ari and Normand about fighting animals, (including bears) and was adamant that pretty much any animal would destroy any human. As an avid hunter, he went on to tell stories proving how much a bear would destroy any person with almost NO effort. Nateland went a different route. 😂🤣😅

[@JAYVILLA92]

Yeah I thought of that conversation too. Nobody is taking on a bear lol it’s funny they want to argue about it tho lol

[@TheJapagu]

There is 0% chance anyone could beat a bear in a fight. But I’m not sure what you mean about any animal because people have killed plenty of animals with their barehands

[@tetromiNolz]

I’m loving the Dusty addition to the pod, but I won’t be completely satisfied until he gets some ad reads. Let Dusty cash in on some!! Let’s go, folks!

[@peterdowner4315]

I'm loving Dusty too!!! I hope he sees this

[@stevenrees2356]

A friend of mine was visiting Yellowstone and witnessed a Mom and Dad lining up their kids have Sunscreen and Insect Repellent applied, only to be followed up by bear spray. They thought that it was for humans as a repellent. They quickly found that this was not the case as their children screamed in horror as they all got sprayed down head to toe. That being said, I don't think they were in the percentage of humans who thought they could take on a bear.

[@WitchyTrista]

I suppose I shouldn't be laughing... but alas, here we are...

[@brucelepage9821]

Nateland continues to be one of the most uninformative, but wholesomely entertaining podcasts.

[@markgrossmann1606]

There is at least one confirmed case of a human killing a bear with his "bare" hands. C. Dale Petersen fought off a grizzly bear by shoving his arm down its throat and biting his jugular. When the bear passed out, he used a fallen log to finish the job. Apparently this was witnessed by nearby campers. At least one of them was a child who suffered from PTSD after watching this go down. Hey bear!

[@ScottyDetroit]

😧wow

[@chefxhyrule242]

He’s the coolest person ever

[@spencerheaton3332]

Going along with the "Vander" conversation; as a teacher, one of my favorite thing to teach my students is how many of our last names mean "son of" or "family of." For instance: Ben, Bar, Van, De, O', Mac, Mc, and Son (along with others) are all "son of" names. So I almost PROMISE that BARgatze means "son of..." something UPDATE! I found that the meaning of "Gatzke" (which is Italian and possibly the original spelling) means "cat." So I bet that Nate's last name means "Son of a cat" which is hilarious and so fitting! Let's go folks!!!

[@wendymerrillperry9699]

OMG. DUSTY IS PRICELESS!!! I can’t possibly get enough of this ridiculous banter!!

[@SadelovesJesus]

1:12:00 Hahahaha the Barry Sanders bit had me crying 🤣. Dusty slurring words saying that hahahaha. Too funny

[@MJLondn]

Just heard it, I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣

[@joshandmeg7418]

😂😂 When I use to work in a restaurant there was a new busboy that just got hired. I introduced myself and asked him how his day was going. Later on in the shift I repeated this exact same sequence. He was a little perplexed but responded the same way anyhow. I told a fellow server to inform him that I have short term memory loss but to never to bring it up. It's been 7 months now and I have repeated this process every day, twice a day. I told him about this podcast and that he should listen to this new episode. He is learning right now, with you, that I in fact don't have short term memory loss. I bet he and Nick Novicki could be related.

[@ellieb445]

When Nate said “why was the elephant at the funeral?” lol was so funny. However, there’s a video of a grizzly bear chasing a caribou for over a mile away and it didn’t slow down. The stamina of a 700+ grizzly is insane.

[@tylerlahey3000]

I didn't even know they could live that long

[@jaredcaines6688]

33:17 “Were you the first comic to move it over into the shade” was hilarious. Caught everybody off guard, actually got the loudest laugh of the show. 😅

[@nathanperdue]

Dusty talking about the caves and them being used for trafficking and the whole table just staring in silence was the highlight of the podcast for me! So funny and great episode.

[@hoze11959]

Either the other three don't want to say anything about this, or it seems like they're truly naive to the facts. Years back, my family and I got to spend the night at the home of the head Grand Canyon Park ranger, and when I inquired about the Egyptian caves he smiled and said "its frowned upon if we talk about that 😬 but the truth is out there..." It was a full moon that night, and he said ok, let's go, and we loaded up, and he took us to various locations and while under a full moon it looked other worldly.

[@hoze11959]

This podcast had me shaking the bed this morning, trying not to laugh out loud in fear of waking up the sleeping bear.🤣🤣🤣

[@joshk.6246]

Nate as drunk Dusty, awesome. Bear dodge ability made me think of "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."

[@grimus761]

Hello folks. Ever since I saw Nate on TikTok and bought tickets to his show in Orlando...I can't stop listening. Love your show with Aaron and Balki Bartokomo( perfect strangers) also for Nate to try candy wise is nerd clusters...they are so good. Let's go folks

[@keynotekyle3105]

Aaron looks like a new man! I just finished watching the entire nateland podcast playlist (reverse order) so recently I just saw episode 1, and now I watched this. Aaron has lost so much weight, super happy for you man, keep it up, you look great!

[@oliviatallchief9779]

The Lonesome Dove reference just made me love Dusty that much more. Man after my own heart!

[@thrift5]

The great thing about nateland is that the episode titles/themes are basically just there to avoid silence. Like they rambled about weird urinals for 30 minutes and then there was a pause and Blake was like "sharks have been known to yadayadayada." Also love that Dusty's source for everything is just "some people" keep the laughs coming guys!

[@amersfreon]

Dusty with the Drunk Barry Sanders is great!!!

[@natedrumms8035]

Ever since I first heard nateland, I've liked it. But adding Dusty permanently has made it a must listen. Y'all all's synergy is good stuff. Keep up the good work. 🍻😘

[@sherriebabcock4677]

Have to say, I laughed so hard at “youth in Asia”. Many years ago when I was in college I couldn’t understand why the professor would randomly start talking about “youth in Asia”. I didn’t figure it out until almost the end of the semester. You are the first person I’ve ever heard say the same thing! Love the podcast and love your comedy!! You guys are awesome!

[@KariCrum]

I've had recurring nightmares all of my life about being stalked by a lion. These dreams are so scary because I know that the lion is just around the corner, waiting to attack me. When Nate said (in total seriousness) that "you can ride a lion" I about lost it! Why didn't I ever think of that? Maybe I need to start doing some lucid dream training so that the next time I'm being stalked by a lion in my dreams, I can just hop on him and go for a ride! Giddy Up, Lion! Love you guys and the podcast! Can't wait to see Nate in Louisville later this year.

[@ScottyDetroit]

I’m picturing the lion like a bucking bronco now!

[@mestep29]

Drunk Dusty convinced Barry Sanders can hit stick a Grizzly bear followed by Nate yelling like an air horn had me in tears. Thank you for the laughs guys! Hey Bear, Whoop Whoop!

[@the_comedycritic6066]

Drunk Dusty needs to be a reoccurring character!

[@kwads1909]

Hey guys (bears, folks?)! I’m a newer listener to the podcast and want to say I can’t even picture it without Dusty. Glad I got on the train along the same time he joined on. On another note, I was curious if there is any protocol about jokes you come up with from discussions on the podcast? If it’s a really good bit, does Nate get first dibs since the podcast is named after him? Thanks guys. Love your work.

[@MikeTerry1969]

I saw Aaron and Bedpost in Salt Lake and they were great, I even bought a shirt from each of them. But before the show we could see Aaron keep leaving out the backdoor and coming back in. He did it a few times before the show. It didn't seem long enough to have a smoke, so curious what he was up to outside.

[@taylorharristhompson]

Nate, Aaron, Babbel, and Dusty having a ridiculous conversation about human vs. animal fights is exactly what the world needs. If these guys ever start talking about serious topics of the day, that conversation will be exactly what’s wrong with the world. Love this podcast!

[@Operation3Sixty]

I love that Dusty's self defense method is to just do the animals signature move back to it. Give it a taste of it's own medicine. Underrated strategy

[@caseynelson50]

It took me awhile to realize Dusty was not talking about Brian when he was saying butterbean lol

[@JasonYokoyama]

Congrats, Nate, on meeting Seinfeld. I always wanted to see you two on an episode of comedians in cars getting coffee.

[@donnychastain81]

Aaron-Y’all all doin ok??!! Hahahaha. I laughed out loud in bed!!! 😂😂

[@RattlesnakeJakeladd]

Dusty diagnosing himself with “bad digestion” is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard

[@AugustEntity]

Hello Folks! My wife currently works at the Toledo Zoo where Nate is going to perform in August. When people ask me what my wife's job title is, I always try to come up with ludicrous scenarios that weave inside jokes from this podcast. For example, I've recently convinced my new coworker that my wife is in charge of feeding the bears and has to yell "Hey Bear!" every time she enters the exhibit so she doesn't get attacked. In reality, she really just works in membership and doesn't come anywhere near the animals. Thank you guys for making the last year more awesome with this quality podcast! P.S.- The Toledo Zoo amphitheater is right across from the PANGUIN exhibit.

[@hoze11959]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@danielcraig6615]

This is the perfect podcast for me: I’m dyslexic (Nate) College Educated (Aaron) w/ a Masters Degree. Grew up in a trailer (Dusty) And I in Middle a school I did a career project on being a newscaster (Brian) but more importantly I’m the butt of a lot of jokes. To top it off I’m from the country & prefer clean comedy. It’s like hanging out with friends every week! Thank y’all!

[@mav_bisonridge]

HEYYYY BEAR! I like to work from local coffee shops and I like to listen to the Nateland pod while I work. However I cannot do the two together because people look at me like Im crazy because of how hard I am laughing. Thank y'all for the laughs and looking forward to seeing aaron in Tulsa soon!

[@ChristopherKose]

1:09:18 Brandywine’s “I’m so thirsty” had me dead.

[@jordanlane2026]

I love talking about bears! The Revenant was based off of a true story from my hometown in South Dakota where Hugh Glass was mauled by a grizzly bear and then he killed it and crawled to safety. In fact a few years ago, a guy from the same hometown where Hugh Glass was mauled was also mauled by a grizzly bear and he also killed the grizzly before it was able to kill my friend. Bears are crazy man. I was so happy to hear you guys talk about Hugh Glass. It was so fun to see Hollywood make a movie about our hometown hero from South Dakota and not to mention starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Love the show guys! Hey Bear!

[@goodsoup2456]

I love this podcast. It’s everything light, cheerful, and hilarious that you could possibly want in a podcast. I love to listen while I’m on my daily bike ride. I’m constantly cracking up at the random comments. The personalities on this show compliment each other so well and create a perfect mix of viewpoints and comedic relief. I’m not exactly sure who is my favorite, but I feel like a bubble of protection should be placed around Brain. He seems so sweet and pure. Anyway, my husband and I love this show and look forward to new episodes. Bye folks.

[@Ryan_Dance]

When Aaron said he didn't remember the bobcat choking woman, Dusty said "well she was a regular woman ya know, it wasn't right after the attack".. like he thought Aaron was picturing some rabid woman all cut up and bloody from a recent bobcat fight. I felt like that didn't get the reaction it deserved because that's hilarious and ridiculous to imagnie. Also I saw Dusty in Lexington, KY a few weeks ago, saw Nate back in January... when can we get Aaronland and Boat Ramp to Kentucky??

[@NextTRice]

I once had to fight off a black bear that was being fairly aggressive towards the 4 of us camping and our 2 dogs. If it was just me there is no way I could have taken that bear and black bears are half the size of Grizzlies

[@thejeremylalk]

The way Nate bites his lip when he imagines himself juking out a bear is fantastic. Some how tho, I think the situation would end up looking like Dwight trying to get past Jim in that hallway in Tallahassee on The Office. Very underwhelming, but always worth a try.

[@USCxGAMECOCKS1801]

I've always wondered how we're supposed to get good credit if we can't even look at it. It is beyond insane.

[@K.Fulkerson]

I’ve always loved your comedy and now I have a new favorite podcast! I was an avid listener of JRE but have way more in common with my neighbors from Tennessee! Keep it up!!

[@ethanml33]

Loved the "Sign for Boron" Seinfeld reference that Breakfast made at 22:25 and everyone else just completely skipped over

[@theTRUTHgroup]

Dusty was right about the Grand Canyon. In 1980, Mt. St. Helens took less than a week to form basically a miniature version of the Grand Canyon. It doesn't take billions or even millions of years for that kind of erosion to take place. Instead, it happens quickly from catastrophic events. :)

[@chrisandkatejones1079]

This may be a strange request but you never know until you ask. We always see the room where the podcast is filmed from one end. Is it possible to get a look from Brian’s perspective of stuff like the screen that is paired with Aaron’s laptop and the production crew? Just curious.

[@GeorgiaPeach0521]

Well they can show you, but then, you know…

[@rhonda29wade]

Dusty wanting to head off the road reminds me of the arguments between me and my husband. He liked making comments like “oh yeah? Well I’d like you to take fork and jab it in your leg” or “hey, let me drive .. while you open the door and roll out”. It sounds horrifying.. but we laugh and it totally breaks the tension. I probably should have made him stop once we had kids. (But i didn’t.) And now I have three sarcastic adult kids who may never get married. 😔

[@enidday5396]

Good heavens fellas. I didn't realize that it was you guys who were going to be attacking the animals. Have you ever seen the claws on a bear? One swipe and your history. I love watching Brian being patient while Nate goes off on crazy tangents and Aaron humors him. Wonderful stuff!!

[@rhondanolen2223]

Well he’s a running back sooo had me dying reminds of the water boy scene

[@mattk1693]

Nate, seeing you this last weekend in Jacksonville was one of the best times my wife and I have ever had! I'm glad you got to use "Hey Bear" in an area where we really have them haha. Also,thanks for bringing Justin along because his DXL joke paired well with the shirt I chose to wear haha!

[@PrideRock92]

I can sense Brentwood’s frustration throughout the “which animal you could beat up?” portion and I empathize with him 10000%. Seems the boys have a loose grasp on the term “hand to hand combat”. Especially South Bend Boy who kept insisting on bring knives and air horns. The question isn’t can you outsmart these animals but can you physically take them. Although after Nate said about the lion “you control the tail, you control the lion”, maybe brainpower should be what’s being questioned here. HEY BEAR.

[@HAZARD_Productions]

This episode couldn’t have came at a better time. Right after listening, I went on a hike and I came across a bear shortly into the hike. I remembered to use my brain like Nate suggested and zig zagged through trees yelling “Hey bear”until it lost my trail. After a quick sigh of relief you wouldn’t believe it but a wolf was standing 10 feet from me. I quickly jumped into action charging the wolf and shoving my arm down its throat. Thinking nothing else could possibly go wrong I heard the rumbling of loud thuds behind me. Standing face to face with a wild elephant I remembered to tell it “no” sternly and to my relief it begrudgingly walked away. Just as I thought I had made it out of this ordeal in one piece to my right an alligator was running at me out of nowhere but I remembered to run away in a straight line so I did just that until I reached the edge of a cliff falling into the water below. Unfortunately I was not alone in that water and was surrounded by sharks. Fortunately for me my training from this podcast kicked in and I started punching them in the gills swimming through them until reaching the shore. Just wanted to let y’all know you saved me earlier today and I really appreciate it!

[@gregorystannard1652]

Nate saying he didn’t know what his credit score was is the least surprising thing I’ve heard on this podcast.

[@traviskent3108]

Nate rationalizing fighting a bear over a lion because you “wouldn’t know where to grab it” almost made me fall out of my chair laughing while I was at work. I’m not sure where Nate thinks you could grab a bear that is more advantageous than a lion, but I love it! 😂 Also, as a side note, I was re-listening from episode 1 and got to the Inventions episode and heard about the King of Denmark, King Bluetooth himself. Later that SAME night, I was proud to know the answer to a random trivia night question all because I listened to Nateland. #Educational. Love the show Nate, Aaron, Dusty, and Bat Mobile!

"You can ride a lion" -Nate Bargatze

[@CHAZK18]

Hello Folks! We recently just got back from a family vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia. After listening to the “Candy” episode I gave my family all the tips for bear sightings, from shouting “Hey Bear!” to letting them know to be ready to juke them through the woods if it came to it. After seeing three bears the first day we were as prepped as we could be. What we were not prepared for was half of us getting Covid in a cabin in the woods with practically no AC and no service. To be fair though, once we got Covid we did not see another bear the rest of the week. So, “according to this”, Covid is actually a great bear repellent. Love the podcast, thanks for the laughs!

[@OzvenomDnD]

Kyle Weis (my last name rhymes with ice) When you mentioned Dude Perfect, Dusty brought up a couple of the trick shots he thought they did. Specifically, dropping heavy stuff into trampolines and trying to shoot into a basketball hoop from very high buildings. Both of those are actually videos from How Ridiculous, a group of 3 Australian youth pastors who originally started as yet another trick shot channel but have since flourished (for Nate: flurr-ished) into an amazing channel all their own. Thank you Nate, A-A-Ron, Dusty, and Brattle-brig for all the laughs and "knowledge".

[@NYSignfield]

Big fan of the Pod but it’s been killer since Dusty joined. Suggestion for a future topic if I may - Movies & how certain ones hold special meanings to you guys. Not only will we get you giving your perspectives on movies but we’ll get to connect with you guys more hearing personal stories on why some movies mean so much to you guys. Like Dusty and Arachnophobia because of the heavy pesticides in the movie. I have a movie that always catches everyone off guard - We Bought a Zoo w/ Matt Damon. 2 years ago a week after thanksgiving My cat of 20 years had climbed onto my lap and was heavy snuggling. All his life he had been lovable but the past year he had taken to being more on his own laying on top of his cat tower or in a box. He seemed to be in a lot of pain recently and as hard as it was to think about we had been discussing potentially putting him down as the humane thing to do since he had lost his ability to see at night for about 2 years, barely ate any more and seemed to cry out a lot (in pain?). I had finally decided to have a vet come out to see him and if they deemed it was time… I stayed up with him since he seemed so happy snuggling that night. I wasn’t sure what to watch and Netflix recommended We Bought a Zoo. I thought it looked dumb but sometimes I absolutely love a dumb comedy. Heck, I’m a huge fan of this Pod! I turned it on around midnight and around 1:00 I was all choked up with tears rolling down my face when they were forced to put down a tiger, Spar. He was old and injured and I really connected the story to my cat of 20 years, who had been with me for over half of my life through many hardships, currently on my lap. I stayed up with him until about 3:00 before finally carrying him (asleep) to his cat bed and going to sleep myself. When I woke up to get ready for work he was still sleeping. It made me happy that I helped him get such a good night sleep. When I was leaving for work I checked on him again, still asleep, and that’s when I realized he has passed away sometime during that night. So that movie and just thinking of it really connects with me because it was the last night I had with my 20 year older cat that meant so much to me and without that movie, I would not of had that last night with him, cuddling as we did so much throughout his life.

[@briceburkard396]

I’m the assistant to the pastor at my church in Marysville, OH and this passed Saturday we had a guy get saved during our weekly men’s prayer breakfast meeting and he wanted to get baptized the next morning during service. I hadn’t met him yet so when my preacher says from the dunking tank, “This is Dusty Ray,” I fully expected the guy to go, “Alriiiiiight (with a strong emphasis on the T)🖐🏻✊🏻 We’re having a good time. I’m pumped to be here. Let’s do this.” You can only imagine my disappointment when he had no clue who Dusty Slay even was… Anyway, love the podcast and if any of you folks are ever in or around Marysville, come check the church out and say hi to one of your biggest fans!

[@bobneal1678]

Right after Dusty says he’s more afraid of a lion than a bear and Aaron asks why, Nate in a serious tone: “Because a lion, you don’t know how to grab it. You could ride a lion…you could ride it.” This podcast is The Best.

@1:11:47 is when they start talking about how Barry Sanders could juke a grizzly bear. I love how declarative Aaron was when he confidently says "Barry Sanders could evade a grizzly bear..." and when Nate starts ripping on Dusty about how he said "you're telling me Barry Sanders can't tackle a grizzly bear?" @1:12:20 it's one of the funniest moments in the history of the Nateland Podcast. Thanks for the laughs, guys!

I am watching old episodes and just the other day was listening to an episode where Nate was telling y'all about being in the Lake Tahoe golf tournament. And then I just stumbled upon episode 108 animal attacks and someone asks him why he wasn't there, and he very sweetly says he's never been asked. A very cool focus what can change in a year!

[@CalebBaleFinance]

I started this episode with a counter on my screen and I hit the plus button whenever anyone said "Hey Bear!" Final Count: Hey Bear! - 25 Bye Bear! - 1 I'd like to see if we can beat this count in the next recorded episode.

[@daltonberryhill521]

I think Aaron could take on a grizzly bear in just about any way. A fight, a game show, stand up battle, trivia, you name it. Unless his gout acts up, I suspect he could out run one as well.

[@emerysizemore5517]

Taking it all the way back to one of the animal episodes where y’all talking about some animal’s feathers/fur being dyed- One time my cousin got for a purple rooster for Easter. When it got too big to live at their house in town, they gave it to my family since we lived on a farm. My chore as a kid was to get the eggs from the chicken house and let me tell you, this rooster was MEAN. It’s like it knew it had been genetically modified to be purple and it was mad at humanity for it. My dad didn’t let me get out of my chore though. Instead he gave me an old fisher price baseball bat and an empty ice cream pail, like he was preparing me for battle. In the end, my dad ended having to shoot the rooster because it attacked literally everyone. A few weeks after we had buried it, my cousins came over and my little brother dug up the rooster, brought it up to the house, and to show its previous owner. This was all caught on home video. Love the podcast! Me and my husband have been listeners since day one.

Recently moved to South Carolina, and my wife has been worried about snakes. So now we say " Hey Snake" when we go outside just to be safe. Keep up the great work ya'll

[@JeffManess]

Nate, Dusty, and Aaron all talking about how a man could beat a bear in a fight is the epitome of the Nateland Podcast brilliance. Unintended brilliance. Brian was the lone voice of reason as names of Pro Wrestlers and MMA fighters are listed as possible victors over a bear. Hilarious. Thanks again for the meaningless but hilarious content.

[@jasonwilliams1497]

Watching Dusty while AAron is reading ads is so funny. He's digesting the info with his brain.

[@joyflateau4464]

The way he nodded after Aaron said “If you’re like me and you’ve already mastered the English language” as if to say, “yes buddy, yes you did”

[@richardgatling4663]

Hey bear, Just thought I would mention Aaron missed one of the bears. The full phrase is “if it’s black, fight back. If it’s brown, lie down. If it’s white, good night”. This is due to the fact that polar bears will just about eat anything.

[@5totheright865]

Keep up the great work fellas! I watch your podcast at night before I go to sleep, no not to put me to sleep. It’s a good way to wind down and laugh after a long day. Any thoughts on making an episode or segment on the anatomy of a joke. I’ve heard different terms for “parts”… like: tags, punchline, scaffolding, cadence. Might be cool to get a professional perspective on how jokes are created. Anywho, keep on keepin on. Looking forward to seeing you in November for your Memphis stop.

[@jericamiller543]

Back in one of the earlier shows someone was asking & guessing what each of you had in your cups… maybe y’all need to revisit that question now that Dusty has joined the show… 😜

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Man! I love this podcast so much. It's truly the Batman of podcasts as in "its the podcast I need not the podcast I deserve". Thanks for providing me with a escape during my commute. Much love guys!

[@mr.stevenson1481]

It would be funny if you’re in the woods and go “hey bear” and the bear goes “hello folks”

[@clintj]

Love how serious the conversation is about beating an animal. The tactics, the 'facts'... just brilliant stuff to listen to.

[@rachelstull5198]

Nate slurring sounds just like Will Ferrell in the office when he has a head injury! 😂

[@brianbradshaw352]

The fact that Dusty likes birds, and doesn’t think they are CIA drones amazes me 😁

[@ScottyDetroit]

😂

[@mikemartinez5563]

I won't lie, I miss Brittle Board's nose whistling. It reminds me of being with my Abuelita when she was still around. She's now nose whistling in heaven.

[@hoze11959]

Now that is funny 🤣🤣🤣

[@Wes_Express]

Oh for the love of the POD would you please give Dusty an ad to read? Aaron reads 2 and Dusty reads 0? Let's go folks!

[@deepthought1987]

55:55 I thought this was the world's longest ad discussing the credit rating system but now I'm thinking it's just a tangent? 😅

[@ltsgoyanks]

Dusty " their social credit score got low..." 2 shay! VanderSlay is a great addition to the pod!!!!

[@kentraub5861]

It's going to be hot wearing a long sleeve on stage in Maui, just ask them to turn on the air conditioner when you first get on stage, 😆 ...can't wait to see you live friday, in Maui!

[@sarahpalik7746]

Just saw the cover of Variety! Don’t know why but it feels like seeing an old friend on the cover! Thanks to you and all you gentlemen for this little space that we can come and just relax for a bit.

[@gregorydunn6143]

Hey Bear! As an outdoor recreation enthusiasts who has spent time camping in Black bear and Grizzly country, there is no one right answer in what to do when attacked by a bear. but if you do fight back, go for the eyes and snout as that is your best chance to to any damage that would hurt the bear enough for it to leave you alone. Also mama bears hang around humans when they have cubs because males will avoid humans. Also if you run into a polar bear you are screwed.

[@Wendy-ov5hu]

Just saw Nate, Nic & Stephan last night at the MACC. What a great night. The whole vibe was so great. I am in love with Nates Dad. He is hilarious.

[@Wendy-ov5hu]

sorry my comment had nada to do with this "episode"... anyway... I had fun last night and I needed to laugh. Mahalo

[@kvisa82]

Seeing the 4 of you fan boy over Nate talking to Jerry Seinfeld (which really is so amazing) was the cutest thing I've seen this week.

[@apatternedhorizon]

Not to mention one of the big credit score companies was hacked a few years ago because they ignored security warnings so now a large portion of people have their social security number/personal info leaked on the Internet.

[@kalabyrum]

Nate‘s comment on asking who is responsible for the credit scores and how do we trust them? Is absolutely what we should be thinking about. Let this sink in; One of these companies is called Equifax. Not long ago, Equifax was hacked and everyone’s information was out there. They apologized but they never fixed anything or changed anything. So theoretically, everyone’s credit score could just be a made-up number they decided to start with after the hack incident. Discuss

[@RingoDGD]

I am in a business where we check credit scores all the time. When someone pulls your credit, it can negatively impact your score, because it would appear that you are obtaining new credit. So that’s the only reason that it can go down, but usually it’s only if you have too many credit pulls in a certain timeframe.

The ideal animal opener for Beanbag would be a squirrel. The squirrel absolutely kills and buries Blumber. While Bunkbed bombs, the squirrels eat through his car in the parking lot
