Dusty is SUCH a great addition to the show.

[@score3q]

I keep forgetting they added him and it's a very nice surprise every week!

[@conservativepineapples6203]

Agreed!

[@cinnamonbrown9220]

I’m a server and I have to say, I love when kids order. A few weeks ago at work, this 5ish yr old boy asked me “do you have any werewolf?” Unfortunately, I had to let him know that I just sold the last piece.

[@ramblingirl1]

One of the nicest experiences I had at a restaurant was at a Cracker Barrel in Bristol, TN My mother was dying and I stopped in after the hospital visit. The waitress was so kind and I sat there and cried and she listened like she was my best friend. It was late so not too busy. When it came time to leave, she said, "Honey, a couple overheard our conversation and paid your bill. You don't owe one thing." I left her a hefty tip and took home a wonderful memory.

[@paulyaface]

I vote that to become a permanent member of the show, Dusty has to do the Krispy Cream challenge to make it official.

[@jeannineashcraft5281]

Bates is one of the few comedians I would genuinely enjoy seeing out in the wild.

Are you sure you haven't? Might have? He tends to follow fans. :)

Just doing boring old guy stuff?

[@rhonda29wade]

Dude… I became a fan on here.. so I went to see him and it was great! He is genuinely genuine and so funny! My theory……. Nate’s a bit (or a lot) jealous. Ya gotta think… he loves “material” and Bates is always generating his own daily. That’s gold to a comedian! 👍

[@kristineplummer7607]

@@rhonda29wade they're comedians, joking and bagging on eachother is what they do. Nobody is jealous of anybody, you're reading too far into it and taking it too seriously.

“We’re havin’ a good time as long as it goes the way I think it should go.” Such a great line from Nate!

7th Grade English teacher here. Nate was curious if he could change the font of anything into the Bionic Reading font. I wanted to let him know that there is font preloaded on his Kindle for those with dyslexia. Go to the settings page, pick out ‘font’, and you will see ‘OpenDyslexic’ on the right-hand side. Students in my class say that it really helps -- even those who don't have dyslexia. Love the podcast. It has saved many a drive home after a stressful day of dealing with middle schoolers. I laugh so hard, tears are running down my face (I once had to pull over because I couldn't see the road.) Thanks for all of the laughs! Looking forward to seeing Aaron and Brawniness (you're welcome, Brian) in SLC!

[@chanlerraper]

Ever since I saw Nate on Netflix, I’ve wanted so badly for him to come to my restaurant so I could not say that I recognized him, but instead take his drink order and return with a glass of milk with ice in it.

[@dnaughty]

Can’t wait for my next trip to Nashville- “did you see that Honda Accord??were those truck nuts on that accord?! What the heck…oh my g- that’s a sock with something in it…oh geez that’s Bates from Nateland!!”

I do love that Nate is against people being publicly shamed while publicly shaming Bates on a weekly basis on the podcast! Love the show guys and looking forward to seeing Nate in Mobile, AL for a 2nd time!

[@pudge18]

Learning Dusty is confrontational makes me love him even more! He was speaking to my server soul talking about his experiences. Can't wait to see him when he comes to Greensboro in Sept. We're having a good time Folks!!!

My wife and I saw Bates and Aaron in Woodstock, GA. Andrew Stanley opened and was great along with Bates. We were FLOORED at how fantastic Aaron was. He should be doing big shows very soon.

[@tadcooper5717]

I’m so glad Dusty is on the podcast now. At one point I was so irrationally upset that there was only two Dusty episodes when he had such a perfect Nateland vibe.

[@ckinahan1]

Jake Melnicks is one of my top 2 favorite places to eat in Chicago. I used to live 2 blocks away and every chance I got, that was my go to. Best staff, best wings, great time. I always tipped ridiculously too, Nate!

[@matthewparrish1740]

Aaron’s story reminded me: My dad use to go visit older widow ladies at our church some evenings. He use to visit one lady that always had a bowl of peanuts and a bowl of peanut M&Ms on her table and dad would always eat the peanuts when he went and saw her….Till one night he was talking to her and the peanut bowl was empty. She started eating the peanut M&Ms, sucking the chocolate off, and putting the peanuts in the other bowl. She was so old and out of it she never once told my dad not to eat the peanuts in the bowl!! He never did after that.

[@LacieOwens]

This is so funny!! (Also very sweet anddd disgusting.)

[@chefxhyrule242]

The part about the doctor and the phone I was just picturing Nate explaining to the doc, "First you gotta type www." 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@bradmcclung3468]

Fellow lefty here. My dad and I picked up disc golf when I was in high school. We always played at the course in Sanders Ferry Park in Hendersonville. Almost every single hole turns to the right which plays perfectly for a lefty throw since the disc naturally turns left to right. It's the only time I've felt like being a lefty was a true advantage in life after everything else was designed to keep us down!

[@ScottyDetroit]

Aaron, the two “steel birds” Nostradamus is talking about are planes, not buildings. #NotreDame By the way, Breakfast routinely says the correct answer in the background and everyone ignores him. Y’all need to respect your elders! 🤣

[@johnmartin8267]

Just a suggestion from a day 1 listener; I literally only pay attention to Aaron doing advertisements. Now with the added element of Dusty being in the camera shot, nodding in agreement to Aaron reading an add with his euphonious voice, that Dusty more than likely hears as Greek, makes me laugh every time! My suggestion, Aaron becomes the sole add reader with his non-verbal advertisement sidekick, Dusty Slay! The addition of Dusty to the podcast was brilliant! Keep up the great work!

[@cameron8414]

Breakfast accidentally becoming Aaron's merch guy is the most on-brand Bates thing.

[@asher7-sky23]

Folks and Dusty, Big fan here from all the way back to the Nate choker chain days before he spiffed up for all the specials. Quick note on the merch table… My wife is actually a huge fan of Breakfast Ball Bates after seeing him open for Nate 6 years ago and we have the a picture to prove it. When we saw you at Stand Up live in AZ, my wife noticed he was looking sad sitting all alone at his meet and greet table while Nate’s line was around the corner. She went up to him and bought a CD (even though her car didn’t have a CD drive). Breakfast Ball was so excited he gave her 2 for the price of 1 and took a picture. Directly after she did wait in Nate’s line too and made me, the guy that introduced her to Nate, take the picture… She looks very happy in that one!

[@lizcummings6709]

We need more servers like Nate in the world. I was once cut off from French dressing at a Perkins. I had asked for just a little more and the waitress says no you’ve had enough. Now I ask them to bring me whatever amount of dressing makes them uncomfortable.

[@ashleykillingsworth3706]

As a former server, if a customer asked me that, I’d die laughing.

[@nathanperdue]

Great sode'! I didn't think I'd like dusty as much as I do, he's super funny and definitely got his own style of comedy and I like it!

[@diannawilliams6923]

Well done! Dusty is a very nice addition.

[@samanthadavies1450]

I feel like Dusty could be one of the long lost Duck Dynasty brothers that they never mentioned (not just because of the beard) 🤣 He's a great addition! Somehow his wackiness balances out the show in a fun way.

[@alisonbull9983]

My boss’ wife is very sick at Vanderbilt Hospital. She recently underwent CAR-T and is remaining there with symptoms from it. My boss has been going back and forth from here (Etowah - 3ish hours away) - to take care of their 3 young sons - to there. Meantime, he has developed gout. He said it’s excruciating pain and it makes traversing the hospital campus almost impossible. We had a good laugh about it yesterday, because his situation is so bad that it’s comical at times. He said you have to find the humor in it to stop yourself from going crazy. I’ll have to share Aaron’s gout scare with him. Y’all keep up the good work and thank you for what you do.

[@zachreacts5508]

I worked at Pizza Hut as a delivery driver and I once delivered a pizza on a bill that was $18 and I was given a $20 bill. I got back to Pizza Hut and apparently the customer had called and told the manager that I didn't give them their $2 back. So, I had to drive back to the house and return their precious $2. When I got to their home I noticed the person's brand new Lexus in the driveway and I now have an irrational hatred for Lexus drivers ever since that day.

[@KPThomas82]

The hatred is totally rational

[@davidperez5089]

One bad apple customer ruins it for everyone. After several no tip deliveries I started eating their food on the way! Action-reaction. Tipping should be banned. Look at the Japanese and see for yourself.

Hello folks! Spit laughing here. The utter contempt for Aaron’s suggestion of night vision goggles at the pitch dark restaurant is next level Nateland, as though there’s just a large swath of the vision impaired on unemployment out there desperate for jobs waiting tables. Great work fellas. Truly! 😂

Great episode guys, I had my headphones and you had me laugh out loud and it scared my family, thank you guys

[@alisoncecala]

I had to switch from listening to this on apple podcast to KZbin so I can see the new microphones! Love them! Also, I’ve been listening since the beginning and absolutely love the addition of Dusty. I was listening in the car when you made the announcement a few episodes back and started to clap. I explained it to my kids and they are happy for Dusty too. Great choice. The Nateland Quad!

[@micheles.1179]

[@allisonmcleod2860]

When y’all were talking about your restaurant stories, it reminded me of my days working at a grocery store….the same jokes…”It didn’t ring up. That must mean it’s free.” Also, I could relate to Aaron when he told the story about the men at the country club not wanting to pay for the steaks they ate. I worked at the customer service counter, and we would have people return almost completely eaten food all the time. Sometimes I would just have to walk away, because I would get so tired of it.

[@martinman5283]

Chad from Georgia - On the restaurant episode, Nate ripped on Aaron for asking if the servers at Black Out wore night vision goggles. If you go to their website, the first picture is a server wearing NIGHT VISION GOGGLES!!! Cut Aaron some slack Nate! Love the show and so excited that Dusty is part of the group now!!

[@dustystephens7387]

My dad is lefty, my Grandpa made him play baseball righty because the left hand glove was 5$ more 😂

[@Maximum_Goodness]

Dusty, as a kid I did most things left-handed in New York. Most people believed left handed was wrong and forced me to switch most things to right handed. However, I still write left handed but as a teenager I could bat from both sides of the plate. I remember every year my mom would get me this left/handed catalog that sold left-handed merchandise so I didn’t feel like I was that much of an odd ball.

[@tscraper00]

My wife and I were eating at Applebees and ordered broccoli and cheese soup. To our surprise when it came out it was broccoli quiche. Didn’t even realize they had that on the menu, we just pictured the chef back watching a KZbin video on how to make quiche. Love the podcast keep up the great work! Let’s go folks!!!!

[@silentmuffin5804]

I watched Aaron stand up on tiktok he is very funny love the podcasts. Dusty is great addition to the pod. Bad boy bates is good to

[@MeatsAndGravy]

I would like Dusty to be the voice of my GPS.

[@natestout3153]

Just like the other Nate, I also used to work at an Applebee's. At the time they sold these chicken and rice dishes that were served in large bowls. I brought one to the woman who ordered it, and she rolled her eyes and very rudely said, "Dogs eat out of bowls. Put it on a plate." I was so fed up that I turned, looked at her husband, and deadpanned, "I'm glad she didn't order the soup." Then I just walked away. Still one of my favorite moments from my service industry days. Love the show!

[@tkelly3519]

Love it😎 Dusty is an absolutely fantastic addition. Enjoyed watching Nate in Vancouver, Canada last month - wanted to say thanks for a great show, and also for introducing us to two hilarious openers. (Dustin N and Graham Kay) Do headliners choose/bring openers?

[@agentalfred75]

One of the best ‘sodes to date! Dusty adds a lot while not getting in the way. On the topic I try to tip a bit more to make up for the cheapskate losers stiffing these hard working folks. Also, with digital payments or paying through an app do you think servers miss cash tips or maybe they get more tips because of the suggested amounts in the app or on the screen?

[@nicholasflack1010]

Hello folks! Love the show, it keeps me highly entertained on my hour long commute to work and hour commute home. I only recently discovered you all so I’ve been playing catch-up. Around episode 80 I noticed the audio was sped up. I thought, those idiots! Took me 5 or 6 episodes to realize I had pushed the 1&1/4x button on the app. Flew through those episodes though 👍🏻 Also, Hendrix did play a right handed guitar but he re-strung it so it was correct for a lefty

[@evanwheeldoit2408]

Now after a few dusty episodes I can say I am on board! Jumpin on the dusty wagon

[@matthewkelley7683]

Interesting tipping strategy employed by a childhood friend’s grandfather: Whenever they got to a restaurant, he would lay down ten $1 bills on the end of the table with no explanation. As the meal went on, if the server made a mistake, was too slow, etc, he would take away a dollar. It was basically a game show that the waiter was a contestant on but they had no idea. And the grand prize was $10. It didn’t matter if his bill was $2 or $200, the max they could win was $10. Love the new addition of Dusty to to the already winning lineup of Nate, Aaron, and Bad luck

[@donthompson9752]

What a great show!! My wife and I both had restaurant background. I was a line cook, she was a waitress (server). In fact, I worked a couple of years at the Denny’s across the street from the fairgrounds where Nate and Leann will be in a couple of weeks. The Fair and racing season are legendary at that Denny’s for being swamped. Due partially to the trauma of working those crowds, we won’t be coming to see Nate and Leann at the Fair. We will, however, be driving the 500 miles in September to see Nate in Phoenix. Already got tickets, and a hotel. I have a suggestion for the naming of the next special. In the last episode, I think Nate made a comment about someone being “Earth’s Liaison to the Universe”. That sounds like one rung up from being The Greatest Average American. Thrilled to see Dusty on the show, Thanks to Nateland for introducing us to great comics. Let’s Go Folks, We’re havin’ a good time!

[@jt3214]

Dusty's tent story had me crying I was laughing so much. He's such a good addition to the show. Also I'm with him and his view on tipping. I used to have to tip out 2% to the kitchen and 1% to the bartender so when people didn't tip I was literally losing money on that table. And to Brian's question, I thought the most annoying thing to be asked was "what do you recommend?" I have no idea what their taste is like, what they dislike, if they're in the mood for pasta, meat or whatever else... then I give a few recommendations and they choose something completely different. (I was also asked by a creepy guy if I was on birth control and then he proceeded to tell me I should go on his boat sometime... So the creeps were also super annoying.) Anyway, I really loved this episode! It was very relatable.

Hilarious how Nate defends a scam artist. Saying it’s mean to publicly expose him. When he accepts to go on live tv knowing he can’t legitimately bend spoons. Yet Nate publicly shames Breakfast every episode, just for speaking, as if that’s in no way meaner 😂

[@btsnake]

Yeah I didn't like that much either. It would be one thing if the guy was just an entertainer, but he was taking taxpayer's money while claiming his mind was powerful enough to see the future and bend spoons. That's not a magic show, that's swindling, pure and simple, and at the highest level of government no less

Let's go lefties! I was recently in Disney Springs and they have a little booth shop for left-handed people where they sell pens, notebooks, rulers (?), and of course left handed scissors. My wife bought me a pack of pens which are cool because they're shaped to take your hand off the paper so you're not smudging as you write like a Neanderthal.. My handwriting looks atrocious already but at least now it's going to be somewhat clean and crisp. I still don't understand the ruler but man the lefty scissors were an absolute game changer Keep up the great work, Dusty is a fantastic addition!

After hearing about people sending sharks to attack other people, I now have a theory that the auto-shop is sending squirrels to destroy Breakfast’s car so that he keeps having to bring it in and get it fixed. It’s a never ending supply of money.

[@LacieOwens]

First, I wanna say how brilliantly hilarious all of you are… this is (by far) my favorite podcast and I have shared it with so many people who now love it too. Thanks for making Wednesdays more fun y’all. Pumped about Dusty!! Lastly, I could be alone in this but tbh-instead of putting the comments up on the screen, I’d rather be able to see your reactions as Nate reads instead of reading the comment on my own (wayyy ahead of Nate, bc dislexia). I read better than him, so I’m not as funny to listen to. 🙃 Possible solution: Anyone who’d rather read the words themselves can still turn on Closed Captioning. (Top right corner of the screen)

[@erinj.2501]

I'd like both- maybe just have it as a banner at the bottom of the screen. But I bet that would involve too much editing to make it worth their time. :) If it was closed-captioning, it would try to spell out what Nate is saying (which might also be funny) and not the actual comment. I like to see what the person said so I can compare what's coming out of his mouth, haha!

When I was in college my mom, who was only in her early 40's at this time, came to visit and took me and all my friends out to dinner. I will never forget how hard we all laughed that she brought her readers out to be able to see the menu, then decided that wasn't enough and turned on the flash light on her phone. The waitress came up and asked if everything was ok. I was mortified when my mom lectured them on their lighting choices. I am now 26 and am slowly starting to understand my mom was not completely crazy for that.

If Dusty wants to be a Mayor of a town with little to no responsibility, he should move to Becker County, Minnesota. Since 2014, they had a dog elected as mayor for 4 straight terms. Unfortunately, the beloved Great Pyrenees passed away in 2019 and I think Dusty would be the perfect successor. Maybe he could even wear Duke's little top hat and establish Dustytown as the official county seat.

One time when I was working in Genghis Grill in Hendersonville there was a lot of condensation for some reason and it dripped into the light fixtures shooting sparks everywhere. We closed early and turned off the electricity, which meant that there was no air conditioning and a giant grill in the room. It ended up being like 100 degrees in there while we were putting up the chairs. Luckily our manager let us grab a beer while we were closing up because it was just so miserable. Best beer I ever had.

My first job was at a Chilis restaurant as a hostess. We were supposed to check the restrooms every once in a while to make sure they weren’t messy. One night when I went to check the women’s restroom, there was a football-sized chunk of feces sitting in the toilet. Pretty soon a bunch of employees were coming in to see it like it was a circus attraction. There was no way it would flush, so the manager made one of the cooks pick it up and carry it out to the dumpster in a trash bag. All these years later and I still think about that woman who must have suffered some sort of life-long injury that night, and the poor cook who definitely didn’t get paid enough for the cleanup duty.

My first job was at a Chick-fil-a, and I absolutely hated it. Most of the people I worked with at the time went to the same church, and I did not. Because of this I think the managers who were in charge of making the schedules wanted me out, and they slowly widdled my schedule down to one 3-hour shift per week. Needless to say I left very quickly after that, and I refused to go back to that restaurant for years.

[@michaelvisy985]

The rule of thumb I always go by: If you look down at a menu to order, tip. If you look up at a menu to order, no tip. There may be exceptions, but that’s the general rule.

😵 I worked at Dairy Queen. It was actually my first job, and I was not aquainted with the chocolate dipped cones yet. When I opened the can of dip I tossed the thick layer of wax into the garbage. I thought it was like the wax jams or jellies have on top (olden days). I got yelled at, but they picked the wax out of the garbage and melted it all in the chocolate. It's what makes the coating stiff, but who knows what that wax is made of???? Another job I had I was in the lunchroom talking with co-workers about canned food.

I’m sitting at Texas Roadhouse with my wife as I write this. A waitress just handed a man his food at the table across from us and he asked if she would come check on him in 15 minutes. She looked very confused and asked him why and he said “cause this food looks so good I might need you to come check my pulse” we both instantly thought of nateland and how y’all said people always use the same jokes. Have you ever heard this terrible one?

Well I thought about the nurse.... How did he know she wasn't fibbing to #1 gross him out so he'd stop, and then feed other french fry lovers or pets or whatever.... 😂 I mean everyone's doing the same thing? Don't they get dirty salt shakers there?

I wish five year old Aaron would have been brought to my line when I was a gas station cashier in the early 2000s when I used to run two registers and the lotto machine at the same time because our district manager was so cheap he would not let any store managers have more than one employee work each shift. Prior to doing all the registers at the same time lines would be 20+ people long. I personally felt good about it but I never had anybody taken aback like Aaron. At least that I knew about. I can only imagine the satisfaction I would’ve gotten from the crazy reaction of a five year old Aaron witnessing my glory.

The only thing that bothered me was the one table that “stiffed” me on the bill. I chased them down in the parking lot. Management had to chase after me! 🤣🤣

100% agree, tipping is over the top now and I always tip at least 20% even for bad service.

Once you mentioned the new location of the microphones I was definitely distracted by how uncomfortable Aaron looked with the new set up. I am not a sound guy, but it seems like an easy solution to move the microphone and adjust it so they are both great for dexterity purposes and not in the way visibly. Nate, Dusty and Booster Seat all look comfortable while Aaron stumbles through navigating his laptop. What is the over/under on how many sodes it is before he knocks his mug over onto his computer.
