Nateland | Ep

[@stephenmcmillan6905]

Hello Folks and hey Bear! The most accurate thing ever said on this podcast was, “people at desk shouldn’t be telling farmers how to farm.” Coming from a farmer it is getting ridiculous! I’m all for the safety of consumers and environment, but we got written up by food safety because deer tracks were found in our field. They suggested we put up signs to keep deer out. Hate to break it to the lady, but as far as I know deer can’t read. What do I know though I’m just a backwoods farmer. Love you guys!

[@KellyBurklund]

Nate!!! You can’t steal Brian’s spotlight! Regarding robots: Ray Bradbury published a short story titled “The Pedestrian” in 1951. The main character gets arrested by a robotic police car because he is out walking at night. He is taken to the “Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies” because he’s not home on his electronics like the rest of the city. When I teach this story to my sophomores, we have a fabulous discussion about technology. Then the bell rings and they file out with their eyes glued to their phones.

[@kristineplummer7607]

I laughed so hard when Aaron asked if that lady was barefoot because that's EXACTLY how I pictured her 😂

[@martywall6199]

Y’all need to do an episode on college with an college advisor so Nate can ask all his questions about why they do the things they do.

[@colinschulte4353]

They did a two parter on college. No advisor though.

[@mshive2]

I dont know what it is but when I listen to Dusty, even when he is telling a not funny story, I start to laugh. Love him.

[@crd9191]

I’m a phd student in philosophy at the University of South Florida, and I loved Aaron’s brief excursion into formal logic. Although, I’m very disappointed to hear you failed it twice, I will from now on only use the phrase, “dusty has a dog,” when teaching my logic undergraduate students

[@nathanielwiens]

I start to feel bad for Aaron getting raked over the comment coals, then he goes and tries to justify fighting a lion over 100 seagulls and I'm like, "ah that's right, that's how we got here in the first place."

[@nicalexander5601]

Just gotta say that Nate was saying he had stuff to show but it was all on his bus… I’ve been here long enough to remember when he gave Aaron a hard time for not bringing in his childhood baseball glove, and it was not even in the same state! 😂

[@rebeccaTX100]

Nate pronouncing ba-BOON (like kaboom) for the second week in a row brought me to tears. And the fact that the other guys have just accepted it as reality is even funnier. I have a nephew that is just getting into fist bumps and I'm planning on teaching him to say baboon when he does the blow up part. Keep up the great work!

[@Danishay11]

Shoutout to Dusty for repping Michigan 77 Engine Bearings on his hat! We're having a good time!

[@tracynichols2400]

All the robot take-over talk reminded me of the 1993 movie 'Demolition Man', with A.I. just watching and monitoring people all the time, everywhere - that seems way creepier than cool, but I agree with Aaron that it will happen so gradually that we won't notice until we are in it fully and it is too late, and, therefore, robots definitely should not have self-perservation instructions. Side note: Dusty couldn't be in the group shot of the schedule release video because he was supposed to be up on stage (as per blurry Big Foot shot shown earlier). Love seeing the four of you doing things together. Keep the laughs coming!

[@ikespoor4796]

I think it's pretty on-par for this podcast when Breakfast calls Isaac Asimov "some guy." And then doubles down with "some writer." Love the show, so much. Keep it up, Folks! Hey Bear.

I know I say it every Wednesday, we luv you guys-too funny, every week! Thank you!!

I was waiting in line for the show in Richmond, VA and there was a hawk that flew up on the street light right next to us holding a rabbit. We got to see a real life animal fight and the hawk definitely won..

[@HunterTaylor]

My favorite part was when Aaron told Nate that he failed a class twice and Nate went on for several minutes asking Aaron to explain how the class works that he admittedly failed twice. 😂

[@mandysharpe2107]

Absolutely loved this episode! I started working in a local floral shop at age 12, local pizza place through high school and a local bank as an adult. All of those business owners helped me learn the importance of great customer service. The downside is that now I'm saddened by the major decline in customer service in so many industries. It makes me want to start a "mom" lecture when I see employees not being professional and making the customer feel appropriated. Thank you for letting us listen in on great conversation and needed humor each week!

[@MarvinPratt-v9n]

Having worked at a University for nearly 30 years, Aaron's surprise that the University did not hand him his actual degree had me cracking up. Then to double down on it by saying some of his friends had the same thing happen was hilarious. Universities hold their commencement ceremonies the last week of the semester which is also finals week. They don't give out the actual diplomas at commencement because they don't know if the student will actually pass all their classes and graduate. They mail the diplomas a few weeks later once the grades for the semester are recorded. If you graduate in December and walk the next May, they still will mail the diploma to you because it is too hard to have your diploma in the degree holder when hundreds or thousands of students are going to walk across the stage in any given ceremony. Hey Bear! and go Chico State Wildcats!

[@dylanhoyt33]

Ahh man I loved Logic in college! My teacher called me out after the first test because I didn't write any work down because I could do it in my head. She told me that she gets 1 or 2 student a year that can do that so I have some weird propensity for that stuff for some reason. Got a 98 in that class somehow. I asked her what I should do with this and she said I could teach logic lol

[@RajDhaliwal-s1x]

My husband and i haven't left our almost 5 year old with anyone to go on a date night in over 3 years! I just told my husband that if Nate comes to Vancouver, we are 100% going.

Hello folks! Saw Nate and his dad in Greenville a few weeks ago and it was a pleasure. My wife and I can see where you get your sense of humor from. I work as a hospitalist physician and enjoy listening to the pod while looking up labs and notes on my patients for the day. In the hospital world of life and death everyday, your podcast is a happy part of my day that keeps me laughing instead of crying. P.S.

I remember first hearing about robots on the news about 15-20 years ago (actual robots…not cartoon TV robots). They reported that these robots were programmed to feel “happiness, sadness, pain, and anger”. The first one I get…nothing wrong with a bunch of happy robots running around…but how much hubris do these robot scientists have to program robots to feel sadness, pain, and subsequent anger? I swear…if this is what leads to our downfall, I will blame those robot scientists.

My wife and I saw Nate in Greenville this weekend to celebrate our anniversary and it was so much fun!

I've been going back and re-watching old episodes in my downtime lately. I stumbled across the Jay Cutler and Indiana episode. Nate mentioned Corey Chavous being one of his favorite Vandy players ever which brought back memories for me. I'm a Vikings fan living in Indiana and Chavous was my favorite player growing up. Another reason to love Nate and the show

[@brendanprice2780]

Nate is bang on with his Moose stories, they are much bigger than most people realize but even crazier is how fast they are considering their weight. They can reach speeds up to 35 mph, about the same as a charging rhino. I have seen lots of Moose living up in Canada but nothing beats the time I saw one get spooked crossing a highway and jumped clean over the car in front of us, had to be 8-10 feet off the ground and cleared 2 lanes. Hit the ground running too.

[@MitchMeetings]

Nate waited to episode 149 to ask Aaron a personal question like what did you go to college for? Maybe by episode 200 he will ask if Aaron has siblings.

[@ClockwrkOrange]

The three laws of robotics come from author Isaac Asimov and showed up in a collection of short stories called "I, Robot", which is what the movie was based on. The stories, and the movie, delve quite a bit into the shortcomings of the laws, similar to what you guys talked about

I work for a University. If it makes Aaron feel any better, most colleges do not hand out actual diplomas on stage at the graduation ceremony. Everyone gets a diploma cover or a rolled-up, blank sheet of paper, and then the actual degrees are conferred shortly after and mailed out by the end of the month. So, while Aaron was handed an empty "diploma", it's very likely that he received the same thing as his peers that day.

Maybe the artist who wrote “I hate shipping” meant shipping as is in the fandom world. Shipping in the fandom world is about pairing characters together who fans want to see together (usually romantically) but that aren’t cannon to the actual story. Shipping is short form of “Relationship”. But it can be very divisive and some people really do hate it. Love the podcast. Keep up the good work, 🤗. 1:39:02

Hello folks. I am a high school Geometry teacher. I might be able to give a basic understanding of logic with the spider statement. Assume "All spiders have 8 legs is true" so Dusty cannot come in with a spider missing one leg (This is a counterexample). Then, if you know the black widow is a spider, then you know it has 8 legs. But, if you know the black widow has 8 legs, you cannot prove it is a spider with the first statement. You could say the black widow may be another animal with 8 legs like a scorpion. Love listening to the Podcast. Nate, Aaron, Eggs Benedict, and Dusty are my goto each Wednesday. I get it. Can't wait to see Nate in Bowling Green!

When we moved from TN to Boston, the local grocery chain near us had a security robot named Marty that would follow you around closely and say “patrolling” every few minutes. Very annoying and always in the way. It was pretty scuffed up and we asked an employee about it. He said that they regularly had to deal with annoyed customers punching it. I have to say it was a humorous sight to see elderly men cursing at a robot that came to their knees in a thick Boston accent.
