Nateland | Ep.

[@rubyfaith2433]

Bates witty underrated commentary goes unnoticed so much and gets funnier every episode

[@JaredMorris-ep1qf]

Another gem from Nate! "You put yourself around the right people, you can be the genius." - Nate Bargatze

[@TeresaO82]

I love that Bates didn't know what "187" meant and Dusty said "murder was the case that they gave me". The best part of this whole episode. I love the variety he presents.

[@rhondanolen2223]

Bates calling Nate and Dusty Netflix darlings was funny

[@TJones-te1pl]

Okay, so . . . my two cents. Grins! Love listening!!! Can't tell you how terrific it is to listen to something fun, across most any topic, without being filled with bad language or inappropriate discussions. You keep things at a higher level, and that's just high class!! You are all fun!! I have to address Nate individually since it's his show. We appreciate so much your pureness and respect for the family and children. I can't help but feel your efforts contribute to keeping our society better, helping us to go a little longer without giving over to whole digression. You may not have every other degree from any science you can get (as some boast) but you're so real and principles spot on and that is priceless. In a time where we struggle with total digression, I wholeheartedly believe it is key to your rise! Keep up the good work! Prayers for you and your staff and family!!! Thx soooo much, finally something to listen to, laugh with, not cringe or gag! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

[@edwardsmd9124]

Another great comment from Dusty went unnoticed! His “soccer” line when referring to Brian’s letterman jacket was incredible! 😂 Then he gave us another gift by repeating “zucchini-pini”. That will NEVER get old! Keep up the great work, fellas!

[@gregorylebed5488]

What a 2023 for Nate and the rest of the "BAND". In today's world, it's really nice to see that that good guys don't always finish last. Thanks for all the laughs!

My dad owns a video store in Tucson, Arizona called Casa Video. He started it 40 years ago and still gives out free popcorn while you shop. Now they’ve got a bar attached so you can drink a local beer and watch a movie. Definitely stop in when you come to Phoenix for your comedy tour next year and tell them you know the owners daughter!

[@tammywright1188]

Hey folks. Please tell Aaron - Godzilla, King of the monsters - was a great Godzilla movie. 2019. I enjoy listening to you guys sit around the table and talk. You bring laughter back into my home since my husband and son passed. I didn’t know anything about Nate until the Amazon premiere and I am now a fan. I also enjoy Dusty, he cracks me up. I love that Aaron starts laughing and pushes back from the table to get his composure back. 🤣😂🤣 Finally, I think it is wonderful that Brian is at the head of the table! Thanks guys!

[@LA_Ohhey_Shotani]

When NAte gets upset he can’t let go of it. Cow-gate and now Manningcast. He told us last week how being married to him meant he woke Laura up middle of the night to keep venting. My boy wasn’t even supposed to be on the sode this week but made sure to be there to get more off his chest. 🤣

When I saw the topic of “180s,” I assumed that it was going to be an entire episode highlighting when Nate adamantly argued one side of an argument only to later pull a 180 and just as adamantly argue the other side. I’m still confident that it’s happened enough to make an entire episode out of it. 😂😂😂

[@karlene1292]

I thought the same thing! I would love that episode.

[@karlene1292]

I would love to hear the guys talk about those 180s and see if they change again.

[@aaronpiper2938]

One of our wedding gifts in 2009 was a netflix subscription, which included a 3-dvd subscription plus the streaming, which had next to nothing on it. We binged series like The Wire or The Office by watching three dvds of episodes then waiting 3-5 days for the next sequence would be sent 😂

I live in Miami, and every hurricane season, my eyes are glued on NOAA's website, checking their 3 and 5 day cone graphic to know whether I have to prep for the storm. I don't know about 200 years ago, but they're extremely useful today.

[@Josh_Stringer]

There is nothing like a moment when Dusty and Aaron can't stop laughing. Kills me every time. I love it. Happy New Year!

[@darrwood730]

The company I think did a complete 180 is Champion. I remember when Champion was dirt cheap. There is an episode of Seinfeld where the guy who shaved his head got depressed due to actual baldness. He had on a Champion shirt to show he gave up on life. Now, Nate ends SNL in a Champion hoodie with 37138 on it. Complete 180.

[@jond661]

What's is 37138? Some American zipcode? Icq#? Edit its a Tennessee zipcode for all the non American folks

[@Larce89]

I'm so glad Dusty got to say Zucchini pini again.

Show of hands who had Nate using gentrification correctly in this episode. Talk about an all-time 180.

[@kellychristensen4059]

At 43 min in Nate responds to Brian's squid joke, "you're tired" made me laugh so hard. I love the banter between you friends. P.s. praying mantis also eat the male after mating. Love you guys!❤️

[@jeniferplott2624]

I saw Nate back in 2021 in Corpus Christy and it was amazing. I asked the gentleman seating us if we could get front row seating (it was a small venue) and he said yes, for an extra $20! That was the best $20 I ever spent! Saturday Night Live, the Manning Podcast….you’re truly on top! So proud to be a long time fan. I have some great pictures from the front row to attach that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Let’s go, folks!

[@Wonkoman42]

‘Avelo… we drive some of it.’ 😂💀

[@Lizbruchez]

That was my FAVORITE comment😂

[@Letsgobills716]

I feel bad for people who do audio only for this podcast. Watching Dusty play with his Funko Pop while the guys talked about college football was great.

[@alisoncecala]

So far I keep replaying the part 2mins in when Nate bounces his fingers on the table and knocks over Dusty’s guy. The look dusty gives him is gold!

[@melissalewis408]

I thoroughly enjoyed the nostalgia of video stores on this episode! After hearing you all discuss it, I’d love an episode centered around what decade would you want to perpetually live in? I’d love to hear the debates of giving up certain “time saving devices” in favor of the actual time we seemed to have prior to such devices! Love you guys and thanks for wholesome entertainment… you’d definitely need a radio show if we go pre-youtube!🩵

[@SourceSigorb]

An all-timer nateland moment, when Nate quite literally takes the toy out of Bates' hand and just breaks it, then hands it back to him. The look on breakfast's face...

[@eMegMBea]

That made me mad. I realize it was an accident, I'm sure, but why mess with Bates'. He gets so mean to Brian sometimes

[@sunsetwatchr]

My favorite dad joke: Q: Why can’t you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom? A: Because the ‘p’ is silent!

[@GoOSU03]

Talk about a 180! This episode took a complete turn and mostly discussed movies! From Godzilla, to Redbox/movie rentals, to the Dark Knight and Winona Ryder! What happened to the parentheses that list the true topic? This episode should be titled 180 (movies)! Speaking of would love to see a Movies episode! I know you did sports and horror movies already, but a general movie facts or a movie bracket battle (a la animal fights)! All jokes aside, love you guys and the podcast! Looking forward to many more in 2024!

[@iamblakeis]

I’ve been obsessed with the show Taskmaster lately (a British show where five comedians compete against each other in ridiculous tasks and then get judged on how well they did and often argue with each other about who did it better). Listening to you guys debate over who can swim the fastest makes me desperate to see you guys do a show like that. I think Nateland should produce an American version of the show just so I could see this become a reality.

[@jasminelozano9575]

I've noticed that Brian has been corrected for putting the emPHASis on the wrong SYLlablle multiple times! My mom does this too. She says six FLAGs instead of SIX Flags and after correcting her for decades, I've just given up!

[@princesssummerland7269]

Love that Nate was here ❤️🥰🤗

[@cardshopdad]

Nate reading the sponsors and calling it a prodcast as the first thing you hear is WHY I’m here. Love it. Let’s go forks!

[@philipmyersjohn145]

In our town we had an independent video rental store called "Movie Place". It closed 15 years ago, but it made the news in 2021. A woman was trying to change her name on her driver's license after getting married and found out she had an outstanding felony embezzlement charge because of a "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" video that was rented at that store in 1999 (apparently by her then-boyfriend) and never returned. (The case was dismissed and the charges expunged.)

[@markbrumbeloe1956]

Thanks Dusty for the Adventure Video mention. Some of the best years of my life!

[@djj.86]

Aaron trying to pat Breakfast, deciding against it, then cloaking it as a stretch was hilarious. I love watching Nate observe things like this because I know he's gonna call him out on it, but I wait in eager anticipation to see exactly how that will play out. He was pretty nice this time encouraging him to reach out to Breakfast.

[@bdub3]

I'm fascinated with the inner-workings of the minds of comedians since I don't think that way. You guys are the best. I've had a theory for a long time that in order to be a good comedian, you have to be intelligent (not necessarily talking about schooling) and insightful, and you all are! Thanks for being a bright spot in my week. Brian, here are a couple of episode ideas: Cartoons (if you haven't done that yet) and exploring what was going on in the world for each of your birth years.

[@seanharring1520]

Bedtime Bates may be my new favorite. Keep him sleep deprived!

[@dianamurdock3047]

I love Breakfast!

[@eMegMBea]

Bates is so underrated

[@gracecprzywara]

Over the last month I have tried to be intentional about asking people "how has your *year* been" and so far everyone has answered, "Good, and you?" No breakthroughs yet.

[@tehdebil]

Funny, I worked for UPS in college and remember the crazy videos that left me with the impression that there was really no competition between UPS & FedEx. Maybe what Nate remembers is that UPS was the pioneer being a company that's 100+ years old. Whereas FedEx is barely 50 years old so 20 years ago, FedEx would've only been around for 30 years and market conditions would have been way different & to the benefit of UPS. It goes to show how impactful technology, specifically the Internet, has been as a force multiplier in making the marketplace more competitive.

[@jameshowell9721]

The look Nate gave Breakfast when he spelled out "W" brought tears to my eyes😂 Best pod out there Let's go folks!

[@ericsmith840]

I think Dusty would love the movie “Flash of Genius”. It’s a 2008 movie starring Greg Kinnear playing the inventor of the intermittent windshield wiper. Detroit automakers steal his invention and he spends decades in court fighting them for his rightful compensation.

[@ericsmith840]

@@CarmieGirl9902 I totally forgot I had made this comment. Didn't even occur to me when he mentioned it.

[@patrickmccormic]

The most impressed I’ve been with the collective seating of a plane was on a quick business trip from Nashville to Chicago and back on Southwest. Pretty much everyone who went there was also on the plane on the way back. First flight out, mostly business passengers, mostly precheck, quick loading, and I swear everyone sat in the exact same seat for both trips. I’ll never forget how efficient it felt.

[@abigail11111]

Thanks for the Kansas State football mention, Brian! I was at K-State during the early 2000s during the Bill Snyder era and being at the game for the win over Nebraska in 2000 (the snow game) was incredible! Love the pod, happy new year guys!

[@tylerrountreedrums]

Dusty coming in hot with the call backs!

[@sandranguyen586]

There was a time in middle school when the video store called to tell us that we accidentally returned our dubbed copy of the movie instead of their tape. My sisters and I spent the afternoon thinking our dad would face a $25,000 fine or 5 years in prison. Instead the video store happily gave my dad his bootleg copy back in exchange for their VHS.

[@wakenow1]

I still have VHS bootlegs with the commercials and all😂

[@wakenow1]

There was one tape, on it was a taco bell commercial from the late 90s or early 2000s and the taco bell guy then was Daniel Tosh, from TOSH.0

[@sandranguyen586]

My dad would dub every single movie we rented. Then he kept them organized with a check-out list for people who wanted the borrow them. SO MANY MOVIES!

[@MarkMaxwell73]

I played in the same type of "for fun" football game after high school as Aaron. A buddy of mine tore his ACL on the opening kickoff and that's when the realization of how dumb we were kicked in. Never before have I had to consider my insurance deductible during a game. That's when I decided my playing days were over.

[@stephensondermann6238]

This summer I started taking my kids (ages 7 & 5) to Redbox in an attempt to recreate my memory as a kid going to Blockbuster. We have all the streaming services, but announcing we would be going to Redbox to have a movie night creates much more excitement. The big release for us this summer was when the Super Mario Bros movie hit Redbox. They love scrolling through the movie options at the box and getting the often rewarded "free rental offer" when you go to check out so they can pick another movie. Coupling this with some pizza, popcorn, and no other distractions seems to hit the spot for everyone in the family.

[@TannerKrysl]

I was also impressed with Aaron knowing that Nebraska football defense was and still is known as the Blackshirts. A little education... the term actually only refers to the starting defensive players. The tradition started back in the 60s when head coach Bob Devaney needed to buy practice jerseys for the recently divided "platoons" (offense and defense) and the sporting goods store that was visited by the man in charge of equipment gave him a deal on black because they weren't selling well. He brought them back and the starters on defense were given the black shirts and the lower tier defensive players received gray. He thought that distinguishing the two tiers would motivate the lower tiers and the tradition was born. It's still a major part of Nebraska football and makes grown men cry when earning their black shirt to this day.

[@roberthodges5272]

Dusty is right. College 40 years ago was expansive. My college career spanned the 70’s. A fantastic time to be there.

As a native San Diegan who remembers Eli Manning’s hissy fit about being a Charger, I LOVED that dig pointing out that Philip Rivers actually committed to San Diego. 🤣

[@SourceSigorb]

All love, but eli got 2 super bowls from that "hissy fit". Love that guy. If things went different, he could be coaching high school football with zero super bowls like your boy phil

[@gigglyme2001]

@@SourceSigorb by that logic, as long as he has success then he can act like a spoiled brat no matter what. I mean let’s be honest his family’s legacy is the reason he acted like that anyways. There’s no shame in who Phil is and what he does. You make him sound like a big failure.

Like Breakfast, I worked at a video store in college in the very early 90s. The owner of the video store, when laser discs came out, thought that was going to be the next craze. He spent thousands of dollars buying laser discs and laser disc players, only to have DVDs take over the market shortly thereafter. The video store went out of business not long after that! Love the podcast!

I just wanted to say thank you for the smiles and gut laughs. The last few years have been extra hard with multiple knee injuries (I broke my kneecap when I tripped in a sheet on the floor and tried to put it back on track/in socket by myself--the pain was so bad that I blacked out for a couple seconds (I thought that if I could put it back on track/in socket I could go milk the cows without being too late). I kept working 3 jobs and going to university bc I didnt want to fall behind in pre-med. (I finished with blood running down my iv catheter in my arm and the needle stabbing my vein so hard I was in tears halfway through my final exam. I didn't take time to heal...(I have pushed hard my whole life in school etc., I grew up Mennonite and my dad didnt let me go to a real school so when I turned 18 I went to college and walked into a tech school with a 3rd grade education--full load first semester, worked my way up through all the low level classes to advanced ones & then transferred to The Ohio State University and continued up through Pre-Med and even tutored pre-med while achieving scholarships) Anyway, The result of not slowing down and letting my knee heal was was having to do my own IV antibiotics 2xs a day for 8 months and 2 additional oral antibiotics for over 2 years (this was after being misdiagnosed for over 8 months and being taken on and off oral antibiotics until my system built up a resistance to them). My muscles became atrophied and I had to beild up muscles and learn how to walk again. --Only to have all my work be lost when when my kneecap would dislocate again (once during physical therapy). Turns put my bones are deformed. Once the drs left my knee dislocated for 9 months. I still was dragging myself through the house, then down the sidewalk, then the road--finally an old airforce dr put it back in socket and said nobody did it bc they were afraid that if infection was there still it would go septic. I did so many knee exercises and walked so much at one point try to get my life back that I ended up getting compartmental syndrome in the front of my leg. Turns out the muscles in the front were building up, but I still couldn't hardly lift my leg out in front of me. The physical therapist told me that I had to cut back on exercises, that even body builders didn't push as hard as I was pushing. Long story short, I'm not in medical school yet, my knee is injured again and I have to build up muscles again. I live second to second not knowing what will happen. I love walking, it is my favoritething in tge world to do--however I never know if tge next step will be the one that benches me for another 6 to 9 months . I lost 100 pounds while doing nothing but sitting in one spot on the couch with my knee dislocated for 6 months (2 scoops of protein powder and 1 cup of veggies 6 days a week), then was diagnosed with cancer and knee reinjured--gained weight back and have to start everything all over again with everything. But, I did make a couple contacts online and started my own school and teach kids around the world. I also had an opportunity to work with an Elon Musk based project online--so I'm still put here trying. ALL THIS TO SAY, THAT YOU 4 GUYS MAKE ME HAVE SOME LIGHT HEARTED HAPPY MOMENTS AND I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU (I think maybe 1 year ago🤔). I really enjoy when y'all talk college & read comments. I appreciate the clean humor. I would love to hear some more about college days & more from Dusty and his wilderness life/maybe some religious views from him and Nate too. I love how simplistic Nate is and how he embraces it, it is so down to earth/relatable/funny. I also love hearing Nate read the comments, & would love to hear more about his work before comedy (I think there are probably some really good stories in there from his days at restaurants etc.😅). Again, all this to say thank you. I just wanted to give you guys an idea of how much what you are doing has impacted my life. If it has impacted me, it has impacted many others. So, through all of my awful health struggles (some mentioned some not), thank you for being there each week to make me smile and laugh. You guys are the best👍💞 Note: I hadn't intended this to be this long or all this here, but it won't let me cut it and paste it for some reason (I wanted to switch it to a dm somewhere). I would just ask that people please don't make any negative comments. Thanks👍
