Nateland | Ep

[@jakelarsen17]

Once again, Dusty with an incredible one-liner that goes unnoticed. His "the microwaves bring people together" dig at Applebees was amazing.

[@andreabrown3116]

The best line for sure.

[@andrewconn5698]

For some reason Dusty’s trip to Miami seemed more transformative than Nate’s trip to the other side of the world.

[@DustySlay]

I’m a changed man.

[@jasminelozano9575]

Nate: Let’s try to get through this fast. Let’s not drag the fast food bracket out. Nate immediately after: “Does that shirt come with shoulder pads?” I love how all over the place you guys get. It’s what I’m here for!

[@tylerlago9502]

As a Cuban-American, love to hear Dusty’s love for Cuban culture🙌🏽

[@DustySlay]

Dude I can’t stop talking about it. I love it.

[@tylerlago9502]

Nos lo estamos pasando bien, y hola oso! (We’re having a good time, and hey bear!)

[@CerealSpilller]

Im okay with these brackets taking a couple episodes to get through. I enjoy the conversation and stories that come along with each battle.

[@MarkMattingly]

Cereal bracket next!

[@aprils8676]

Yes! It was WAY too fast.

[@thefiveproject]

“What if the Wendy’s employee has a gun?!” Lol that’s a hilarious call back!!

[@mrsarnowski]

Nate reprimanding Aaron for talking about a bad experience in an airport, then turning around and complaining about direct TV is what this podcast is all about.

[@joemcatee4162]

I love that Nate tried to describe to us what Bojangles is like by using a much smaller and even less known franchise. Great job, folks!

[@hunternotlee]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CarlosHernandezLive]

We had a good time @DustySlay! You’re an honorary Cuban now 🫡

[@saulresendiz7964]

Very smooth exit at 28:01, Nate😅 No one saw or heard a thing. This podcast is my better-help. Thanks for all the laughs

[@JoeySpiegel]

hahaha! I had to go back to see what you were referencing. That's freaking funny!

[@saulresendiz7964]

​@@JoeySpiegelToo funny 😂 Nate walks in front of the camera, then sounded like he tripped on the door stopper. I was expecting glass breaking in the next room😂 He came back to his spot and no one said a word

[@tetromiNolz]

Long Gone Silver’s was too funny! Deserved much more, but glad Brian caught it.

[@TheAshleywiggins]

One of the best things about pencil break was when you got your " best " pencil (mine was a Mirado Black Warrior) and smashed through the other kids " best " pencil. You cant know the joy of seeing a Dallas Cowboy pencil smash in half , unless you lived it.

[@JustenHarden]

Dusty is absolutely fighting back his desire to comment on the age of the earth at 43:25. Haha

[@nicolaswynkoop]

Lol at science..."13b, 26b, whatever"

[@bigdeek04]

Because he's an idiot.

[@maryruthray3899]

Nate: can we get through this today? Nate 10 seconds later: That shirt come with shoulder pads?

[@jasminelozano9575]

My exact observation 😂

[@joeyduggan88]

Ol babyproofing Bates was on fire this episode

[@KristinaWiltfang]

You guys should do a “fast casual” bracket! Like Panera, Five Guys, Firehouse subs, Noodles and Co, Shake shack etc

[@jacobread8406]

Every time you guys talk about food I'm reminded that Nate has the palate of a four year old. If you can't like fried rice because it has onions, how do you find anything you like? I'm surprised he doesn't exclusively eat chicken nuggets, quesadillas, and apple sauce.

[@codythomas9661]

I like that Aaron will make a call back to Nate’s own joke and it didn’t phase him in the least. Also, we ignored that fact that Nate didn’t notice Dusty didn’t wear a hat a few episodes ago.

[@MrEzekiel1982]

My favorite part of this episode was when Dusty let fly with the Popeyes riff and Nate was right there with him.

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

No better way to wake up than to have your comment read on Nateland. It was a surprise older comment too!

[@nikbrownell]

You guys need to do one of these bracket challenges with candy, but you need to actually try the candies during the challenge.

[@thefiveproject]

I would be absolutely invested in the next couple episodes being the fast food fights! It’s why I watch this podcast religiously, a beautiful escape from the daily grind!

[@therobertharte]

I'm gunna call it early. A&W has a gun

[@aaronlangkamp2225]

I think you guys called it”Scratching the Surface” is a great Dusty podcast where I get to explore…..almost everything….most of all, Dusty’s conspiracies, this would be wild

[@crd9191]

Really appreciate the Bart Durham shoutout

[@ryancotton9873]

The amount of times Aaron “know what I mean” Weber Stacks his papers in an episode is unbelievable. I’m at 11 stacks in one ad read

[@ACTNATURALProduction]

Applebees “The microwaves are bringin people together.” I gotcha dusty. I laughed.

[@scottk8244]

Seen you on Saturday night live, I've heard of you but never really invested any time into this podcast, I'm watching it now and loving it, very easy very wholesome very fun, really enjoying this pod

[@Kylee_Gates]

As a kid, my dad would take me to Jack In The Box and we would always get tacos. It was a real staple of my childhood. I've been defending those tacos for YEARS. Glad to hear that other people actually like them. I feel so heard.

[@miurasvlamborghini]

Sonic does not use microwaves. I unfortunately was an assistant manager there for a few years, like 3 years ago. Just had to throw that out there.

[@mollydog97]

Why have this fast food bracket fight when we know Nate is going to have McDonald’s win!

[@LA_Ohhey_Shotani]

I understand you Dusty. Someone bought the land catty-corner to us and I found myself in the backyard a lot while the Hispanic workers were building the house enjoying their music well into the night and found myself missing it when the house was finished.

[@CalebBaleFinance]

When I got the podcast notification, I thought it said “Fast Food Bucket Fights” and immediately imagined you all throwing family buckets of KFC at each other. I thought “THIS is going to be EPIC.” I didn’t even question it being on brand for the podcast. Imagine my dismay when I found out it was a bracket fight. Still a great pod but maybe this should be a special episode coming up.

[@lisaelias5330]

No matter how long an episode was, I would watch it. I've got a whole week before the next one!

[@Ndych0541]

Just realized today that Nateland is just a teaser to We’re Having a Good Time. From now on I’ll have a better appreciation when I hear Dusty repeat a story on his show. Goodbye folks, keep having a good time!

[@spencercope3530]

The care and seriousness with which you took Animal Fights is what made it great. Why in the world would you rush through something like this? This topic is (or should have been) core Nateland.

[@ACTNATURALProduction]

I’m impressed by y’all’s composure during disagreements while I’m over here like “OH COME ON FELLAS YOU DIDN’T PLAY POPEYES?!? BELIEVE IN SOMETHING!!!!!”

[@veronicam.3212]

I love Dusty in a guayabera 😂

[@DustySlay]

Thank you! I love it it too!

[@gregverhoeven2463]

I am on my way to Lexington Kentucky next weekend, and I love a good old fashion donut. Now I need to stop at that gas station. Thank you Dusty!

[@sluhgo]

Btw is Aaron taking Dustys’ patented “Allllriiiiiight”

[@turnewitsch]

The best “ 2 for 1 “ type deal I’ve seen was a guy selling 1 watermelon for $3 or 3 for $10. So everyone was just buying 3 watermelons seperate for $9. I said to him “ did he know that 3 for $10 wasn’t a better deal” and he said “ of course… but everyone is buying 3 to prove me wrong”. Genius !!

[@mackwkitchel]

Long time listener - first time caller... Revisiting Nate’s comment about having a shy bladder.. I live in Atlanta and was at his show last winter at the fox. Incredible show, super funny, I even yelled “Let’s go folks” at the start and Nate said “There it is”. Great moment for me. What was not a great moment was after the show I went to the bathroom to pee before our drive home. Of course there was a long line, so I joined the line and started waiting. As I got closer to the urinals I noticed they were very close together with no dividers. Having a shy bladder myself, the inevitable anxiety started to sink in. When it was my turn I saddled up to the urinal as tight as possible, and stood there for what seemed like an eternity. Finally I zipped up and walked away with a full bladder. Maybe you three and beanie batesy can discuss why all toilets have doors, but it’s a free-for-all with urinals. Side-note, I’ll be at the December show in Atlanta this year, mind if I use your bathroom?

[@JBird918]

“What is it a book?” lol

[@hollytompkins6969]

Y’all made fun of Dusty for being so specific about the donut gas station but I was one of those listeners that knew exactly what he was talking about! Respect! My family lived in Clarksville and we would stop and grab a dozen (or a few dozen 😬) every time we passed through on our way camping in KY.

[@ctharris81]

Dusty knows his Doughdaddy's in Versailles, KY. Right at the end of Bluegrass Parkway. Good stuff Dusty.

[@hoffa1984]

Aaron making an odd but funny joke and it bombing in the room was hilarious

[@ryanbillinger336]

I am 1 of the 40 who lost it at Aaron’s RC joke. About time we got some comedy on this podcast.

[@brodymartin6217]

3:33 Love the subtle 38 Special quote

[@_sowhat_]

3:31

[@PaulaKeller_BR549]

I'm in the car yelling Eh-kid-nah to people who recorded this days ago. It's nice to feel I'm part of the discussion. 😃

[@rhondafien2246]

Chick-fil-a employees could teach a lot of people & a lot of industries a thing or two...or 20! 😂😊. They really are refreshing!!

[@zachjohnson8355]

The RC car joke was smart and a smart crowd would appreciate it

[@bennyesquivel2611]

Dusty’s shirt is called a guayabera. It’s light and thin to stay cool while picking guavas, and the extra pockets are to hold the guavas. Suave Dustin, suave

[@luketharpgraphics]

Watching Bittersweet navigate talking about Church’s chicken to an ad read in one fell swoop is podcast gold. Looking forward to seeing Nate in Baltimore!

[@diannawilliams6923]

Really appreciated the longer podcast time!

[@patwalker9805]

Hello folks!! I’m so excited about this episode!!

[@BoykinMeetsWorld]

Hello Bears! A long bit ago I was told that the southern accent comes from the English settlers slowing down their way of life, including the pace at which they spoke. So, if you slow down the English accent it becomes the southern accent. Now, I know Ireland isn’t England but I’ve noticed that anytime an English person does an “American” accent it’s always southern & that could be because it’s easier since it’s just their accent slowed down. Love y’all folks, been listening since the first episode, when it was 3 & the show seemed to be about 2 dudes bully their geriatric friend, but as time rolled on & the true dust pan joined n the show, it’s become one of the best podcasts! Congratulations to all the success you’ve all had as well as the literal people some of ya’ll made & hopefully we will continue to hear Breadbox correct Nate as he makes up words he can’t pronounce & be sold athletic ware from Arron & Dusty’s ads for many more year’s!

[@CCMorgan]

I'm catching up after the summer and I'm so glad I found this gem. Question and a story. If you could have unlimited free food from any fast food restaurant, what would it be? When I was an LDS missionary in Colorado, a member of my church owned basically all the Sonic restaurants in the western half of Colorado. We could go to Sonic anytime, order literally anything we wanted, and it was free as long as we told them we were missionaries. Dude, we ate SO MUCH Sonic when I was there. We definitely abused it and did not hold back. Several times a week, all the blasts, drinks, etc. Sometimes we'd go in giant groups of 8+ missionaries and just go to town. I got tired of Sonic, but not enough to stop going. We saved a lot of money doing that. Benevolent Sonic owner, If you're reading this, thank you.

[@saulresendiz7964]

Hello Folks and Hey Bear 🐻

[@lettiewatford5210]

I have to say - Aaron is on it today!!

[@phillipschmidt5151]

It started with Dusty being the tiebreaker in this bracket challenge. Then he proceeded to be the first to speak on every single matchup

[@taramurphy637]

Im Canadian from the east coast and we just got a popeyes! I was so excited because ive seen the commercials for 30 years

[@newyearseve86]

I took my first vacation to tennessee this past week, loved it, and totally get the appeal of South now. While driving through Virginia I figured I'd stop to grab something that says Virginia on it to say that I've been there. To my surprise, my michigan accent was too much for them. I got handed off to three different people who had never heard of what a 'magnet' was. Made me laugh. Love the show. Bates rules

[@tylerlynch2796]

6:40 my Cuban friend was telling me there’s no food and not much in grocery stores rn.

[@MbarryBarry-og6um]

Saw Aaron in Boston Saturday night with my husband Red.We took a great picture with him in my pan-guin shirt! He killed it. Non stop laughs. Hoping to see all four of you over the next year. Nate’s next in October. Love you guys! Thanks for doing what you do…. Michelle B

[@TheCourtknee89]

This was a tough listen for me. Didn’t know I had such strong opinions on fast food! I’m glad this was one and done.

[@movingtoboiseid]

Love the brackets, been looking forward to this all day

[@jenstevens7871]

I like how Aaron threw in there, about Arby's, yeah, they've got the meats, all low-key. Then Dusty, same thing. Like an after thought.

[@Helenkellertruther]

As someone who grew up in the backwoods of NJ and had to drive 20-30 minutes to get food because nobody delivered to us, when I got to college and found out that people had pizza, Chinese food, etc. delivered to their house was so wild to me. It shocked me even more the first time I got food delivered to my dorm.

[@graceadmin7859]

I laughed at the RC joke! "Remote Control" cars

[@adamdoyle2350]

First time caller, long time listener of AaronLand. I appreciate the ranting of Cleveland Airport. Reminds me of Peter Griffins “You Know What Grinds My Gears” segment during his time on the news. Would like to see more of what grinds Aaron and Dusty’s gears.

[@markt5164]

Love listening to the football (soccer) piece, particularly when trying to scale it to to US sports like Basketball, etc.

[@bonnieperegoyvideos3592]

When subway was promoting their sandwiches, as healthy and featuring Jared, eating, just subway to lose weight, there was a local sub shop in Baltimore area that put up big billboards with pictures of big overstuffed subs, and the tagline “Nobody’s losing weight on our subs.”

[@jeremymitton6344]

Conspiracy theory: Nate has seen Shawshank but it is a long running joke to frustrate Aaron, Dusty and Bojangle bates

[@Jukebox_Jonny]

As a native of the suburbs of Chicago to a current resident in North Carolina, I can say that I have experienced all of these chains including an In and Out visit I made in Las Vegas. I personally would have gone with Culver's as the champion, but in the end this was a “respect the player not the game” type of situation.

[@lacighap398]

Brian!!! So many people excited about the Jasper show!

[@yourhenna]

I am going to find that Reacue 911 episode of the man touching the ladies foot! It’s my mission. Now I’m on KZbin watching old episodes and loving the commercials! 😂😂😂❤❤

[@andrewdpaul]

I’m surprised the Alabama guys didn’t mention Jack’s. I just moved back to Alabama after living in Nashville for 9 years and besides getting married, getting jacks whenever I want is the highlight of this year. Jacks is doing really well down here 👍.

[@amandamcbride256]

Here via Afterburn Podcast. ❤😂

[@chollajo1]

Fun watching Aaron lash out at Nate. Then be low key super nice to Nate for the rest of the episode.

[@jonathanrivera9931]

Dusty representing Cuba 🇨🇺!! If you ever come to South Jersey and want Cuban home cooking, hit me up. Moms is a chef in the kitchen!

[@DustySlay]

Alright!!

[@kalabyrum]

Nate? You still have DIRECTV? No. This is unacceptable. You cannot make old people jokes at Bateman when you still have DIRECTV.

[@KellyRaeRussell]

He's loyal. He did the DirecTV commercial...it's probably free, lol

[@rachelcastillo99]

This 👆47:42 (Dusty referring to his guayabera from Miami) “I’m cultured now…” That’s what makes Miami so great! There are so many awesome cultures in addition to Cuban. I love it! Although, I’m not surprised dusty got along so well with the Cubans 😉

[@brettschoenleben]

I have to say, as a life long fan of RC Cola, everytime y'all said RC, I thought of Radio Controlled cars. I am one of the 40 who laughed! Thanks for making me laugh.

[@mechmarkm]

Have been listening for awhile but this is the first time I've watched, but just realized I've associated Aaron's voice with Brian's face and vice versa, and now that I realize I've had them mixed up I don't know what to believe anymore. Thanks for the existential crisis!

[@brentbarrett4263]

Lol

[@ACTNATURALProduction]

“..But I don’t know if that’s necessarily a strength-we’ve got actually two competing philosophies here….” -Aaron Fast Food Bracket quotes. This is a great podcast.

[@LA_Ohhey_Shotani]

Almost 140 episodes and I’ve been read twice! Not a Mayor but I thought about running for office before then thought “naaaaaah. I’ve got better things to do”. Glad to hear you guys reading good comments again. 😂

[@JoeySpiegel]

I don't frequent malls, but our local mall's food court has become far closer to what Dusty described mall food courts used to be. My wife and I go there to find surprisingly authentic asian dishes. Growing up it was all fast food, panda express, and sbarro's. Now it's shawarma and pad thai, which I find delightful.

[@dallinharris3919]

The 2fer at a gas station always gets me. Props to Nate for staying strong!

[@dannyroz]

I laughed at the RC joke... you know, remote control cars.

[@valarielefavour5642]

Love your podcast, still keeping us laughing!

[@angelashoaf7150]

Aaron’s laugh is the best

[@DanielleBrown-x2o]

I am pregnant with our first child and I have never had such intense cravings simultaneously than after watching this episode.

[@MissRed-AKgirl]

Alaska State Fair! For REAL? YES! 🎉🎉🎉

[@maryruthray3899]

The French translation of Kentucky Fried Chicken reminds me of a time years ago when my brother-in-law prepared a special dinner for my sister, who speaks fluent French. He does not speak French, and there was no Google translate back then, but he managed to use the Internet to write a description of the meal in French. It was not flawless. The portion mentioning Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce read “Rays of sweet babies.” 😂

[@ldridge]

Another great episode! Braums Bates, keep up the good job on picking subjects. I have been in more than one argument about how many people you can order for in the drive through. I say no more than 5. Any more than that and you have to go inside out of courtesy to those behind you. Being the premier fast food podcast I wanted to see where you guys land on this.

[@col8682]

My daughter had a soccer coach that said it was too hard for him to say Cailin (pronounced K-Lynn) so he decided to call her Katelyn. By the end of the season all her teammates were calling her Katelyn. 🤷🏼‍♀️ -From Colleen like the soup Campbell

[@kelliejones6899]

I think the issue might be with your local Krispy Kreme. The one in Chattanooga is still killing it.

[@dabjohn]

Nate's spot on about coffee. It has been such a huge part of my life that I consume about 5 large cups of black coffee per day at a minimum. I've become so dependent on it that when I'm having trouble sleeping at night, I take another cup and it helps me fall asleep faster.

[@TheAlaskaJoe]

Hearing you talk about the guy who used a table leg against Nolan Ryan reminded me of Willie Harris. He played for the Atlanta Braves in 2007 and used a souvenir bat he found in one of the manager's offices. He said he was in a hitting slump and wanted to try something different. He ended up with six hits in that game.

[@joyspellmann4312]

I completely disagree about the chain restaurants theory. Gas station/convenience stores and grocery stores are definitely the last great cross section.
