Nateland | Ep.

[@adriannemica612]

Hello folks! Long time listener, first time commenter. I’m a solo parent of three amazing kids, and I’ve been working my way through the pod for almost 2 years now and am only 16 away from being caught up! Y’all bring me so much joy. Thank you Bubba Gump for all your hard work and getting me through some tough times. We all know Blueberry is the oil in this fry pot---this pod, Nateland, and even Nate wouldn’t be what it is without ole reliable Belt Buckle! Everyone knows Nate is the best, so no need to elaborate. Webbs= the kindest, most relatable and self-aware podcaster out there-what an anchor and gem! Dusty has really been here all along-just listen back on the Bigfoot episode when Nate is very clear that he’s more interested in talking with people with absurd, entertaining beliefs than anything run-of-the-mill. This comment is too long to ever be read, but my kiddoes would think I’m literally famous if it ever was! Anyway--The only way I’m even making it through “Bathrooms” is the excitement of seeing there are 2 episodes on Mythical creatures-I can’t wait to hear Dusty educate everyone on the biblical account of some pretty cool creatures. Finally, Lord help me if y’all haven’t strong armed me into watching Shawshank---PSA 0% Nateland approved 😅🫣

[@GeorgiaPeach0521]

Sitting in a hospital room for the third day with my mom ….and then I remember it’s Wednesday which means NATELAND! Thanks guys for bringing some levity to this dreary day! ❤😊

[@rooksdoubleohseven9919]

Hope things go best as possible for both of you. My mom had a hip replacement last week and things went almost too good. We gotta keep telling her to slow down, lol.

[@WhoniverseReview]

This show should just be called “Aaron teaches things to Nate, Dusty, and Barracuda, but they still don’t learn.”

[@1-800-Wildman]

The problem with Aaron versus Nate is that Aaron claims to be this intelligent person which he clearly isn’t and Nate claims that he is dumb but in reality it might be the other way around

[@1-800-Wildman]

I don’t know about you, but I’m in the camp of believing someone who is honest, rather than believing someone who is a know it all

[@MattB_138]

​@@1-800-Wildmanbe honest.. you're a little bit jealous he finished school and you didn't

[@1-800-Wildman]

@@MattB_138 lol that’s possible

[@alexmoore84]

Was Aaron the "if it doesn't rhyme it's not poetry" guy? Bc if so I think maybe there were learning opportunities all around

[@Mileypit]

I actually like it more when the whole gang is here ❤

[@jensenmelville6948]

“When I was 22 years old I got involved with a plant” deserved much more than they gave Aaron.

[@The-D-Hoyt]

I came here to say same thing. I think they didn't get the reference. Dusty just looked blankly at him. 😁

[@zbeaner2000]

There'll be a movie about that quote someday. 😂

[@ZenaMonique13]

Wow, first few minutes in and Dusty is discussing my favorite author/poet Charles Bukowski consider my mind blown, then the fun discussion on Jimmy Fallon. I was at the New Jersey show with my best friend who a few months back had to cancel on the Tonight Show tickets I had, and then to our surprise he showed up at Nate's show and was hilarious, I made a silly joke that I made sure she was going to see Fallon with me no matter what. Fantastic episode folks, keep it up!

[@jthead]

I think the duality of man is best embodied by Dusty in this episode. He previously said people should wake to the sunlight to preserve circadian rhythm. In this episode, he says he is fine with people in Knoxville having a 9 o'clock sunrise in a permanent daylight savings time, adding if they don't like it they can just move.

[@DustySlay]

Well of course we should wake up with the sunlight, but our current 9 to 5 doesn’t allow it. I think it would be better to wake up and catch the sunrise

[@A.M.13]

Dusty taking the bite out of the pancake buns is my new favorite moment of the podcast. Thanks for the laughs guys.

[@garrettmcgee45]

Dearest, Nate, Dusty, Aaron, and Barnabas (I think this is the best nickname for Brian because he is such a great encourager to the group). Y’all have created the greatest podcast in the history of podcast creation. I feel like I get to hang out with yall everyday. I am a truck driver/pastor of a Cowboy Church, so I listen to your pod everyday. I am going back through all of the old episodes again. Nate, though I do not agree completely with your culinary philosophy of the whole table being in unison on the meal of choice in a restaurant, I do feel that there is a line that should not be crossed when sharing a meal with others. My oldest brother, let’s call him Chandler, often crosses that line, especially at breakfast. Years ago my brother-in-law, my two older brothers, and me would play golf every Saturday morning, usually with a 7:00 tee time. On the way we would stop by Chick-fil-a to get a chicken biscuit for breakfast, and way too often, our oldest brother would order only a cup of coleslaw. Blehhhh! It still turns my stomach to this day, just thinking about him eating coleslaw at 6:30 am while we are trying to enjoy a chicken biscuit the way God intended breakfast to be eaten. P.S. I hope that buttering up Bathroom Break Bates will increase the chances of my comment getting read by the wordsmith himself, the Nate the Great. Thanks, keep up the great work FOLKS!!!!

[@HatchetZach]

My dad is a man of few laughs and has always been more on the serious side, but he and my mom came to visit me in Wisconsin for deer season last thanksgiving and I put on Nate’s Netflix special Hello World. To my surprise, my dad was laughing the whole time and still references it to this day. Thanks for bringing funny clean comedy that I can enjoy with my parents.

[@joshhorton6861]

We need a "Bonsai Bates Live Cam" so we can watch the tree grow like a National Geographic Eagle's Nest Live Cam.

[@chazmcpeake]

This cloud conversation is wild to me. Am I crazy or aren't clouds made of water particles? Asking why water doesn't go above clouds is like saying why isn't Dusty taller than Dusty?

[@zaram131]

The reason water doesn’t go above clouds is because as the temperature gets lower the higher you go in the atmosphere, the vapor condenses and turns back to water. It can’t keep rising after that. And I didn’t even go to college.

[@MrEzekiel1982]

Why isn’t Dusty taller than Dusty?

[@LeCigareVolant]

Clouds are our biggest source of marshmallow deposits. Using a series of nets and baskets, bold men and women risk their lives in the 'mallow everyday.

[@DustySlay]

All I’m saying is it not possible that some water has escaped into space? Why is this question so hard?

[@The-D-Hoyt]

[@michelemcdermott75]

What a gift! I thought I was listening to an older podcast- AND IT’S NEW!!! It’s going to be a good day! 😊

[@lillielackey]

So my son saw me watching Working Man, for like the 4th time. I didn't think he would be into it; we have different tastes. So, I was surprised when he approached me, a couple of days later, to let me know he watched Dusty's special and couldn't stop laughing. He is now diving into all things Dusty and loving him. You have a new fan, Dusty! I'm sure I'll have him listening to (and looking forward to) this podcast as much as I do :)

[@mandysharpe2107]

Brian, I loved that documentary!

[@darrickthomas3756]

I’ve literally watched all 191 episodes. Nate seems exhausted and cranky again. The early Covid episodes before he went on two tours he’s more lively and silly. I get it he’s tired. I look forward to the fall when his tour is over and he gets on the pod rested and happy.

[@kristendechaine]

Agreed. Nate seems like he’d rather be anywhere else but there.

[@justmont6635]

Do we think the restaurant thing was real? Like he’s really going to get upset if people get different things?

[@LacieOwens]

My favorite time of week now. Been watching since episode 1! Nateland is a ✨wonderful place ✨😂🙌🏼

[@jennbrooks8433]

I love how smart Aaron is.

[@1-800-Wildman]

But he knows the topic of discussion ahead of time…. Pay attention to when the conversation is outside the topic of the day, the level of knowledge dramatically decreases

[@93Ari]

57:38 did anyone else notice the pilot’s name was Zach Morgan… so he technically goes by Captain Morgan 😂😂😂

[@24CiViC]

Kate did do it! She’s an amateur photographer and takes most of the family photos - she mentioned that as an amateur photographer she sometimes does alter photos, but it’s not malicious. She apologized. Fon du lac is in Wisconsin 😊

Kevin Costner has a band. He played at the horse park in Kentucky last summer!

Isn’t it weird that somewhere along the way someone designated what food belongs with a certain time of day.

[@wakenow1]

Look up Edward bernays, the greatest propagandist to ever live. He is the reason why women started smoking and why we eat bacon and eggs in the morning... His great nephew marc Randolph bernays invented Netflix if that says anything about the programming on Netflix.

"Cuties" comes to mind.

[@wakenow1]

Also, Edward bernays grandfather is Sigmund Freud.

[@dt5lager]

I was asked the other day why I am always laughing when I'm driving. After listening to this one and thinking of that comment, I realized I will laugh out loud from just hearing Aaron's giggles from looking at or hearing Dusty say something. Nate is alright too 😉 Keep up the great work guys - love this podcast!

[@kclarkeable]

“Brutte” just killed me!! Aaron nearly lost it😂

[@britcodes]

Omg so funny. Dusty is right about the tie! The way he said their beautiful bugs to Aaron 😂😂

Thank you for putting on an incredible show and an awesome podcast!

My wife and I got married in 1997 before digital cameras. For some reason, my wife always blinks during photos. So, when the giant framed wedding photo arrived, we noticed that they painted in her left eye because she blinked. To this day, it hangs in her parents house.

“Wherever you think you are, there’s someone bigger.” This is why we love you Nate. True embodiment of humility.

[@tammywright1188]

I always look forward to Wednesday mornings and watching y’all on KZbin. Love you guys! Since Aaron mentioned y’all should do a show on poetry and I 💭 thought , “well that’s not going to happen”🫣😆; I wanted to say to Aaron who mentioned poems should rhyme that not all poetry has to rhyme. I was almost 40 when I found this out from my fifth grade daughter. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ She informed me of the following. Narrative poetry tells a story. Dramatic poetry is used in plays with dramatic action. Lyric poetry expresses a person's state of mind or attitude. Then inside of that is blank verse and free verse poetry. Blank verse is poetry written with a precise meter-almost always iambic pentameter-but that does not rhyme. Free verse poetry is poetry that lacks a consistent rhyme scheme, metrical pattern, or musical form. I personally think that’s about all we need to know regarding poetry. Now let’s get on to the more important things you guys bring to the table. All in fun. Thanks for sharing your time with us. ✌🏼

[@KellyRaeRussell]

I do think they could pull off a show about poetry. I mean writing for stand-up comedy is definitely a form of poetry. They could research famous poets and realize how many famous quotes come from poetry. Discuss Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein... Do some Mad Libs... Hmm, I guess what I'm saying is treat like first grade, maybe. LOL

[@tammywright1188]

@@KellyRaeRussell I stand corrected. Thanks Kelly. This would be fun. 🤩😊

[@maisiechaffee9822]

I never comment, but just want to thank this podcast for being such a joy. I’m going to see Nate in Toledo this summer. That leaves Dusty and Brian on my list! (I saw Aaron open for John crist) This homeschool mom of 5 loves these weekly chats. Thank you again! P.s. sometimes my kids think I know everything, I don’t tell them that the random stuff I know often comes from this podcast! Raising the future leaders y’all!

[@sandykelps859]

Hey Bear! I really liked Dusty’s idea of going through the song “I’ve Been Everywhere”. It would have been cool if any of you guys could have shared a memory from some of those places to make the bit work better. The hardest part of listening was hearing you mention a city and then not know where it was located. “Winslow”, for example, is a big part of The Eagle song “Take It Easy” (I was standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona, it was such a fine sight to see…”). It was hard because I was yelling into my phone at you guys, but of course you couldn’t hear me. Thanks for keeping me entertained! I love the podcast!

[@johnnowak1020]

When I was 22 yrs old, I got involved with a plant…. 😂😂😂

"Winslow" is Winslow, AZ. Named in the Eagles' song "Take it Easy."

[@mscaseyray]

Aaron's ad reads are amazing!

[@sawyerbain4462]

This is the second time you guys have mentioned “et tu brute” which was a mistake by Shakespeare because Ceaser should have spoken Greek and that phrase is in Latin! this is coming from someone who took 2 years of Latin in high school and then failed the “what do you remember” test going into Latin 3 so bad that my teacher gave the class a speech about how Latin wasn’t for everyone and looked directly at me the entire time. So this feels like a fitting source for a nateland fact! Love y’all!

You would think that 2 guys that graduated college would have a good enough grasp of physics to realize that when a space shuttle leaves the atmosphere, it creates a suction behind it. It's seems certain that at least some amount of water vapor follows it into outer space.

The average person only has *three* stories?? I know I have a skewed population to pull from (recovering drunks), but not just from drinking (in no particular order): Dad gets kidney transplant. Getting mugged. Meeting the Avett Brothers. My Dad's funeral. Crazy roommate that I thought was wanted by the FBI. Getting a text from a guy who was responding to a spoofed number, going back and forth awhile, and finding out I knew his ex-brother in law. Tripping balls at Wrigley Field. Going downtown (Chicago) to help people get home from the riots the summer of 2020. And I've barely gotten started. I know that you said "average," but I'm a regular person, and I have sooo many stories. I'm pushing back on your story-having estimate. Also, the actual word is *A*light, not "light." Insects and birds alight on people. Love you, bye!

Aaron's story about the cashier reminded me of a time I went shopping at a grocery store that was about to go out of business.

I said wow thats awesome to which he laughed and said he was just joking. It was a very awkward encounter.

In college I went with a friend to a Slam Poetry night so he could get extra credit. When we walked in, they were asking everyone if they had done Slam Poetry before and I mentioned I had to for a class back in High School. Turns out, they were asking because they needed their third judge for the night and apparently I was the only other person there who ever been to a Slam... So yes, I ended up having to be a judge that night with practically no knowledge but I think I was paid with one free beer.

Dusty have you considered introducing a beehive/bee box onto the land where you hope to grow native species? Since bees are natural pollinators, not only are you giving them flowers to pollinate, but you are helping your natural garden thrive and the bees get to do their job.

My best friend attended Hanover College, Woody Harrelson's alma mater. She loves to tell the story of when Woody showed up at a frat party and hung out for the night. Her favorite part of the story is that they played the drinking game "questions" and she's the one that made him laugh with her question about a "woody." Anyway, I wonder if Jimmy Fallon could have stayed at the party longer if it weren't for smart phones and social media.

I love how Fallon just gets his retinas blasted all night instead of bothering anyone to ask how to turn off the lights. Either that's great humility or a phenomenal amount of pride. Also, how do you tell the comedian that was planning on going on stage, that Fallon took their spot? Or does the show just get longer?
