Nateland | Ep

[@TRYHARDVOLSFAN]

Unbelievable. Regardless of your fandom, can we all agree that it is astoundingly hilarious to hear the guys open up the podcast by talking about the big Vandy win and being bowl eligible-right after they got waxed 56-0? 😂

[@HamiltonProvonsha]

Especially with the banner at the bottom of the screen with the score. 😂

[@folklandpodcast]

Sounds like someone who would enjoy The Folkland Podcast...just sayin'

[@qwest777]

Comedy at its' best.

[@vincentthetexan]

Nate just said the funniest line I've ever heard while Dusty was talking about gift giving and with a straight face just looks at Dusty and says "I would love to meet the man that you talk to the most" because now I too would love to meet the man that Dusty talks to the most. The image of them on the Pod and Nate following along to their conversation has me needing that in my life. It would honestly be the perfect Christmas gift Dusty could give us. It ain't gold but it sure is close to gold.

[@katethegreat9435]

"A good swan?!" I laughed so hard when Aaron called that out. As if he always knows the current swan market. This is coming from the same guy who thought a sheep, ram and lamb were all different species. I love every minute of this podcast. Keep it up folks!

[@benjamincrandall7764]

I’m glad you caught that too. I literally went straight to the comments. “A good Swan!?” With the accent too. He’s definitely experienced in the swan business.

You could not have typed the spelling more perfectly for me to hear his voice in my head saying it. So funny!😄😄😄

[@jayturn2468]

Hey biscuit, I have been writing in for a long time, listening for the first time. I know it’s been kind of a trend lately to tell y’all that you are getting us through tough times, but I truly mean it when I say Nateland has been something to look forward to when I have nothing else. Thank you guys for helping me stick around

[@michaelabbott2410]

A cool moment that happened at our church's Young Adult group I help lead in Mason / Cincinati, Ohio. At our Friendsgiving my friend Matt was telling me he was seeing a comedy show on 12/10 and that the guy has a part in leading him to Jesus. Turns out it was DUSTY! I didn't know Dusty was coming to the Funny Bone in Liberty Center (Mason, Ohio) until then. I hope to make it but glad my good friend Matt knows Dusty and we have a ton more to talk about. We were definitely having a good time!

[@folklandpodcast]

Wow this is incredible! I really hope Dusty sees this!

[@jessebriggs5610]

I found a dog last weekend outside of a restaurant I ate at. I posted pictures of the dog to a few websites and found the owner after a few hours. The dog’s name was ‘Bear,’ so when the owner saw the dog he said ‘Hey Bear!’ Instinctually I replied ‘Let’s go folks!’ The owner wasn’t a fan and seemed a little confused, but I found it hilarious.

[@folklandpodcast]

This is amazing! haha

[@eMegMBea]

That IS hilarious! 😂

[@alisoncecala]

Dusty, so many times during this episode I wanted to reach through the screen and high five you. We got commonalities ✋🏼

[@Austin_Adams]

As the woman on the plane cried next to him, Dusty missed a great opportunity to remind her that they were having a good time!

[@justkathwalk]

"Companies treat Cyber Monday like girls treat their birthday" was the most accurate thing I've ever heard Aaron say. As a girl, I can confirm this is true, and I also feel called out 😂 my birthday is in 15 days, btw lol

[@michellerobinson5061]

From one birthday girl to another, happy birthday. Enjoy your WEEK! 😉😉

[@justkathwalk]

@@michellerobinson5061 thank you!! ❤️

[@folklandpodcast]

Sounds like you are late celebrating already! I'm gonna say Happy Birthday now lol

[@michellerobinson5061]

I just turned 53 and I loudly and proudly, celebrated for one week gentlemen. And for the record, when I hit 55, it will turn into a celebration month. As a 🇨🇦 wife of a PLC Programmer that I loan to the 🇺🇸 far too often, (though i love y'all) a mother of two and a nan of three, I think I deserve it. 😉😉 Keep up the great work and thanks for keeping my "frown upside down"!❤️❤️❤️ Tax paying brick n mortar. Cut the buttons off and put them in your sewing kit so you'll always know where they are.

[@nicolaswynkoop]

I see we decided to have Aaron read all the ads so he could quit laughing through everyone else's reads. :p He's not a businessman, he's a business, man. Love you guys, keep it up.

[@maryruthray3899]

Breakfast asks Nate what Harper wants for Christmas, and my head explodes, “He’s her DAD!”

[@joshrich7196]

A good Swan? I love that Aaron responded to Dusty's disbelief of the cost of the Swans with "A good swan"?? Maybe he gets his pricing from the Panguin guys

[@adamrhoads133]

Spotify just told me that I have spent 4,629 minutes listening to Nate, Aaron, Dusty, and Belsnickel on Nateland this year. I felt really accomplished until I realized that is the equivalent to over 3 straight 24 hr days. Looking forward to topping that next year. Keep it up guys!

[@jackgoras858]

I've listened to every podcast, and this is the first time I am watching it on KZbin. I have never regretted it more

[@pamishnelso]

Aaron is spot on once again! My birthday is the last day of August which gets ignored because it’s usually Labor Day weekend. So I start celebrating on the first of the month. I let everyone know and I am over 50. I plan to keep adding to how long my birthday celebration lasts so maybe when I’m an octogenarian I’ll just celebrate the whole year! Love this podcast!

[@jeannineashcraft5281]

Our family has Birthday months also!!

[@miscellaneousb]

Fellow Aug 31 here. Living in the deep south, I've had more birthdays ruined by hurricanes and the heat. So I started celebrating my bday in October, lol.

[@Youtubegolfguy]

Spent this Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping with my parents who came to visit me. When I saw my dad walk up to the house he had a very significant limp. I asked what had happened, and he informed me he had gout. I couldn't help but laugh from all the "Gout Talk" from this podcast. He asked what was funny because he had never even heard of gout before. It was a great opportunity to tell him about the podcast and share something I love with him. Thanks for the laughs.

[@scottthornton8228]

Dearest Nay-Thon, Ay-Ron, and back rash, Long-time commenter, first-time listener. I’m sure it’s not the first time you’ve heard it, and you’re definitely under no obligation to take a stranger’s advice…but…y’all ought to start a Patreon with bonus footage, interviews, comedy classes etc. I’d love to hear you teach a virtual course on ‘how to be funny like a normal person in regular life’. There’s so much potential ground for y’all to cover, and I really think you’d be blown away by how many of us Folks would be happy to show you more support. Food for thought. Thank you for all the ongoing laughs! I can’t tell you how helpful your comedy has been for me through some very rough times. HEY bear!! PS - Had a ton of fun at the Budweiser Arena in Loveland back in October. Thanks for always putting on such a great show!

[@marshallbarker3211]

Well, "Bozo Buckets" is now, officially, my favorite name for Breakfast Burrito. Thanks for all you guys do, I'm always so excited when I realize it's Wednesday, and my daily commute will not be quite so mundane. I can show up at work with just a slightly lower IQ than when I left the house. Also, it might not be a bad idea for a show, at some point, to have Nate show up like normal. However, the topic of the episode will be forcing Nate to finally watch Shawshank Redemption. I feel like his life could be so much better if he just had that under his belt. Maybe you could even find the version that stars Tony Robbins. Love you guys, even Dusty

[@ricksanfordiii115]

Hey Bear. So enjoying the Podcast while studying. I have worked from home (IT administrator) for close to 5 years and I have become a voracious consumer of podcasts and comedy routines available across many platforms. Not only does it not distract me from my work it has been a much needed replacement for the ambient noise (people talking, radios, et cetera) of the office as I sorely miss the energy of colleagues and enjoy the diversity of available content. I appreciate the dynamic of your group as it is akin to hanging out with your best buds. Now to fully diversify the podcast " a true representative cross section of America, all different races, background, religions..." I will quote Bill Burr who's bit about a coach asked why a team could not win any games "We need more black guys on the team." Cheers bros. Rick.

[@Des-oe1cb]

I 100% understand what Nate & Dusty are saying about non-fiction. I always have to sing the line "Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction" in my head to remember which is which.

[@sethwilhite4366]

Started listening to nateland recently when working out because I was told I’m too intense at the gym. Today I almost dropped a barbell on my face when I burst out laughing in the middle of the ymca at Nate talking about dropping a squirrel and an iPhone off a building in episode #14. You guys make my day!! so funny it hurts!!! Thanks!!!

[@TheElhombresombre]

Thanks to Dusty droppin knowledge I will not celebrate Christmas now or ever! He got me to research it and he is totally correct. Comedian, life coach, guru, spiritual advisor...that dude has it all!

Could Bates seeing the B-team Globetrotters in a grade school gym be the most Breakfast thing ever? Perfect for his sitcom “Breakfast All Day”

[@kristineplummer7607]

Hey Bear! Just had surgery this past weekend on an umbilical hernia I've had for 9 years. I was given a list of things to avoid during revocery like coughing, sneezing and lifting anything too heavy. I think they should've added watching this podcast to the list because I'm pretty sure I busted most of my stitches laughing while listening to you guys. Thanks, and no thanks for the laughs and the pain 😅 well worth the agony.

[@folklandpodcast]

Aw, Kristine, feel better friend! If you need more stitches, I'm sure Dusty knows a guy.

[@kristineplummer7607]

@@folklandpodcast thank you! If anyone knows. It's Dusty 🤣

[@mrwalsworth]

When people would give me a hard time about being dressed up my response is always "it feels good to look good!"

[@shelby_parker]

I totally agree with Dusty's comment about people dressing sloppy at semi-nice restaurants. I grew up in a small town, so as a kid I thought that going to Olive Garden or Cheddar's was a special occasion. As I got older, I realized that people are just dressed the same pretty much everywhere - some are super sloppy and some are just middle class casual. It really does dampen the experience!

I thought your comment was about the topic of how Thanksgiving went. Nate gave a cursory answer. Without anyone asking, Brian said "mine too" @7:53 that sounded so sweet and innocent. For some reason I laughed out loud twice when hearing this.

I used to get confused with fiction and non-fiction, but after hearing the whole fiction/faction conversation this is burned into my brain. Don’t let anyone tell you this isn’t an informational podcast. Keep up the good work!

[@KellyRaeRussell]

It took at least two U-turns to make sure I heard Aaron correctly regarding why we give gifts at Christmas. Aaron offered that it makes sense, if we see Christ in someone else then we give them a gift. I died laughing! As a mother of three teenagers, if that were the criteria for gift-giving, I could have called it after each one's first Christmas! Has Aaron never met a two year old before? Admittedly there are some years I would have to think hard about my husband! But then I would remember that he has put up with me for 25 years and that's a lot of grace so, okay, here's a new leaf blower. Excited for Nateland merch under my pagan tree! Love y'all!

Talking about nightmare plane stories I think I have one of the worst. I was on a late-night flight from Brussels to Berlin when a German guy with extremely blue dreads, wearing muddy flip flops, and a tank top sat right behind me. He had a pungent smell that immediately made the entire middle section of the plane reek. I trying to catch some sleep when I felt something painfully scratch the back of my arm. I turned around to see him clipping his toenails while resting his feet on my armrest. His gnarly yellow toenails had scraped my arm and drew blood and there were toenail clippings all over. Seriously contemplated jumping out of the plane.

[@conservativepineapples6203]

Such a fun episode, thanks for a great Wednesday!

[@danaidenreed]

Fun fact: Walmart opted to close on Thanksgiving in 2020 and has done so ever since. Most if not all retailers have followed suit. While there is still the traditional Black Friday event the day after Thanksgiving, Walmart has started what they call “Deals for Days” events in weeks leading up to the big day first for online customers and then for in store customers, taking some pressure off of actual Black Friday. Having the smaller events and allowing people to shop these items online have lead to smaller, less chaotic Black Friday sales. Source: Me, a Walmart Store Manager

[@ScottyDetroit]

Nate is on to something with the dressing up. It feels good to look nice. There’s something about it. Dusty is so spot on about the sloppiness of society today. Very few people seem to care anymore.

My daughter manages to find “lost things” everywhere we go. We can be walking around and then look in her hands and she’s got multiple random things she says she just found - buried, in bushes, under a rock, behind a toilet. Sometimes you have to wonder if she really found them but now I’ll just wonder if Dusty was there before us and the park or wherever was just closed when he came back.

[@eMegMBea]

I had so much fun listening to this one! Too many one-liners that did not get the appreciation they deserved, though. BubbleYUM, you had some really great ones, but I was really with you on the "somebody's got a case of the cyber Mondays" 😂😂 I was waiting for it and you came through. I died when Aaron said, "well, some high quality swans" 😂 Dusty also had quite a few good comebacks! Nate, always just doin Nate 😁. Love you all!!

When Aaron asked if anyone had a go-to hiding place it reminded me of my friend who used to keep his money in a miniature treasure chest on the mantle. His theory was it was hidden in plain sight. Of course one day he came to find his house and been broken into and, to his dismay, the treasure chest was open and the money was gone.

Hey guys enjoying the podcast, found out about it posted at your Roanoke show. Nate I just wanted to let you know my wife and I really enjoyed your show in Roanoke the weekend before Thanksgiving. Funniest stand up show I have ever been to. I am a big follower of comedy, seen all of the blue collar guys live, saw Brian Regan this summer in Roanoke. Zimmerman is a funny opening act and Brian did a great job getting everyone going. We saw your show in Roanoke in Feb 2020 before the world went covid crazy and I'm so glad you are back live touring funnier than ever..

[@lanefurey8676]

Love this podcast! You should do one on embarrassing moments, I’ll go first. It was 2004ish and I was about 21 years old. My mom and I were on a flight. I had recently started a job that provided me with a laptop and I felt very cool. It was really popular at the time to download SNL skits from something like Napster. So I downloaded a bunch thinking about some inflight entertainment. So on the flight I brought out my laptop and my mom and I enjoyed watching a couple of the skits. We were cracking up. I was in the middle seat and there was a guy my age sitting next to me and I thought I’d be nice and see if he wanted to watch them with us. So we unplugged the headphones so he could hear too. Each SNL skit was a file that had the title of the skit. So I clicked on the next file/ SNL skit, expecting to see Will Ferrell. It opens and we are zoomed in on something only we can’t see what it is, BUT we can hear it because it was an adult film!!! Next, on the laptop, the camera pans out and it’s now very clear what me, my mom, and this stranger guy are all watching. My instinct was to slam the laptop shut and put it away, but that did not turn off the sound! I then had to bring it back out and open it up and proceed to close out the file. This all happened in a matter of seconds but seemed like an eternity. I was so mortified! My mom kept saying my name over and over again in a disappointed tone, as if I accidentally showed them my private adult film stash. I was fumbling over myself to try and explain to my mom and the guy, but needless to say I didn’t talk to him the rest of the flight. My mom and I would randomly burst out laughing just thinking about it, at different intervals during the flight. I never wanted to exit a flight so quickly when we landed. And the cherry on top of it all… he was on our return flight. I learned my lesson to preview any file before showing it to others. 😂

I work at National Museum of the United States Air Force which is the military museum in Dayton, Ohio mentioned in this podcast. Dusty's experience is very common. Guns and knives are prohibited on federal property. The security staff most likely realized that you returned to the entrance faster than if you would have gone back to your car. They typically search for the knives hidden or buried because they do not want a child to get a hold of it. Played this for a few of them and they thought it was hilarious because it happens almost hourly. Love the podcast! Aaron - Go Irish.

For Christmas when I was younger, my parents would buy me a TV and my brother a playstation/Sega dreamcast. So we had to get along in order to play!

So either no one played or we had to begrudgingly get along! Smart parent move!!

Hey bear. I liked when awhile back Nate would give an inspirational/motivational speech every episode. My favorite was when he was talking about people pursuing something they want to do, they need to, "Just do it." By about the 9th, "Just do it," I started to think that the catch phrase might have some serious legs. You guys should look into trademarking it and selling merch with that phrase on it. I'm thinking it would look great on athletic clothes.

Great airplane story - I boarded a flight leaving Las Vegas and got seated next to two guys who were obviously “having a good time.” One guy was drinking a Coors Light during the boarding process. He casually carried it on the plane and unknowingly broke federal law. But let me tell you, he was enjoying this cold one. A few minutes later a flight attendant noticed this and was absolutely flabbergasted. She asked him where he got this and he told her at the bar in the airport; the look on this flight attendant’s face articulated complete shock that he had committed such an offense. She confiscated the beer and told him about all the rules and laws he had broken. A few minutes later the same flight attendant came over the loud speaker to welcome everyone on the plane and stated that if anyone needed anything feel free to press the call light button. I turned to our beer drinker and told him I’d give him $20 bucks if he ordered a half empty bottle of Coors Light, and the guy did it! He rings his call light and same flight attendant comes up. She declined the opportunity to return the beer and needless to say she was not impressed with our humor. But I got an excellent laugh and an even better story for the small price of $20.

I picked up the phone just as Dusty was replying "Fakes huh?" regarding the last name of Bryan's teacher that was a finalist to ride on the Space Shuttle Challenger. Needless to say there was a long pause on my end of the phone as I tried to stop myself from bursting out laughing....would've been a great opportunity to plug the podcast to a customer though if I had let the laughter out. I'm pretty sure Dusty and I are watching the same videos in our spare time.

[@adamlawrence7995]

Hey Bear, I’m a long time listener and am usually fine with the hearsay banter but it is a common misconception that all battles in the Roman Colosseum were to the death. In fact, the majority of the gladiator battles were similar to modern UFC fights in the sense that gladiators would fight until one surrendered. The emperor had the final say in who lived or died. Gladiators were thought of as prize fighters and trainers would invest a lot of money into them so it doesn’t make much sense to have every fight go until someone died. Usually the people that were killed were prisoners, religious martyrs, and enemies of the Roman Empire. Thanks for all the laughs!

Rusty, the good ol days!!!

2004 while in college I worked at Applebee's as a cook. One day hanging out on campus a friend of friend mentioned that he was looking for a job. I suggested Applebee's. I talked to the manager and got him an interview. On interview day a waiter friend of mine came to the kitchen and said, "go look at what he wore to the interview." I laughed because I thought he would have a suit on. Nope. Timberland boots, cargo shorts and a tank top. Surprisingly he got hired. Unsurprisingly he lasted one training day. I use to think restaurant interviewees shouldn't be judged on what they wore to interviews. I was wrong.

Actor David Arquette has purchased the rights to all things 'Bozo'. I can't wait for him to bring him back. David also is a licensed Bob Ross painter. :) He's an interesting guy to say the least.

Speaking of hiding things around the house...growing up, I had a great aunt and uncle who didn't like each other very much. My uncle would always hide things from my aunt including cash. For years, my uncle hid thousands of dollars in the lining of a coat that was stored in a trunk in the attic. One day, my uncle came down from the attic, in a panic asking where the brown coat that was in the trunk was. To which my aunt replied, "That old thing? I gave it to the Salvation Army."

Dusty hiding knives reminds me of the time a rode my longboard to the bar and hid it behind a dumpster in the parking lot. Came back 12 hours later to find the parking lot roped off and totally repaved. Days later it was till there

I got tired of buying my family random things so last year I bought tickets to Nate's show he mentioned in Wichita. That was a way better gift than whatever socks and a pair of jeans my dad asks for every year, and everyone wants me to do something similar this year. The only problem was they're wast enough room between the rows for my legs to fit so I either had to hover, or have my seat and the one in front of me pinching my legs with all of my body weight.

Heads can get bigger without the juice. I had a 7-3/4 hat size as a freshman baseball player at the US Air Force Academy (2001) and now I wear an 8. The growth has spawned some great nicknames: 1. Moose (birth) 2. Fathead, Moosehead 3. Heed (So I Married an Axe Murderer) 5. IMAX

The funny surgery story reminded me of a funny story my wife (who is a nurse told me). She had a patient come into the ER freaking out because she was bitten by a bat. She proceeded to plop a dead bat (in a bag) onto the check-in counter and wanted the hospital to test it for diseases to see if she needed to be concerned, ect. My wife asked the lady "is this is bat that bit you?" and she responded: "I don't know, but I found this bat near where I got bit so It must be the one"......
