Nateland | Ep.

[@katiehutson7163]

My daughter and I continued Nate’s rant on our own. As a 15 year old girl she would really appreciate Nate putting out entertainment that she can watch and not feel gross about. We’re here for it.

Breakfast is not just a friend of these guys, he’s a fan-that’s the best.

[@MJLondn]

He's everybody's fan! 💛

[@ginacarter9779]

Good observation ❤

[@AlexisJay2]

Nate continues to impress me! His rant (which I welcomed) was spot on. I am glad to have such a powerful voice in the industry fighting for the majority of the population! Yes! as a mother of 2 young children is so hard to find stuff we can all enjoy and watch together and I don't have to worry about shutting off the tv super fast because they show something that is out of place. You are fighting the good fight and you have a lot of people who are appreciative and backing you. Keep it up! I 1000% agree that Hollywood is so out of touch and wanting to force stuff down our throats!

[@justmont6635]

It is mind-blowing to see so many people defending the rant.

[@deangulberry1876]

I agree Hollywood is making a lot of bad stuff. But Nate’s rants are hard to listen to for me. Bates needs to just say “Cut!” after 2 minutes. And the rant was so vague: let’s make movies for everybody. Does he think Hollywood hasn’t thought about that before?

[@MidniteMatador]

The fact that Dusty is the one in the group that knows the current status of skinny jeans in fashion is everything I love about this podcast.

[@anitadarling7623]

Nate's rant about there being nothing for families to watch is so true. My husband and I find ourselves so limited with what we can even watch because everything has become so unnecessarily vulgar. We love comedy but it's tough to find comedians that are clean and actually funny. When we discovered Nate it was so exciting and the fact that he wants to create more stuff for our family to be able to enjoy is amazing. We went to his Be Funny tour in Sacramento and there were several couples in front of us dressed extremely modestly (I'm thinking they were Pentecostal or Apostolic), and you could just tell that they were just as excited as us to finally have something that they could go out and enjoy that was for them. Nate's comedy and ideas bring hope that maybe we can have more opportunities to enjoy, and we want to support anything that he does!

[@kristipickens1079]

"Is there a certain amount of electricity you can take a bath with??". 😂😂😂 Classic Nate! He's back, baby!

[@Marnicle711]

And Bates goes “that’ll be the next krispy kreme challenge” 😂😂😂

[@TeresaO82]

I clipped that whole part and sent it to my sister in law. These guys have the best chemistry and are so clean funny. Wholesome!!

[@angelchristopher7611]

Love how nate rants forever then says "im done, people get mad when i rant" then literally 1 minute later he starts going again 😂😂 but i completely agree with everything he said

[@AllisonHolly1001]

Right?! Lol. He’s so funny. That’s something I do, like, “Okay, I’m done…Oh, one more thing…”. 😂 I agree with what he said, too. Hollywood favors specific genres, and they aren’t always family-friendly.

[@LacieOwens]

Nate-a VAST majority of us love and support you. We’re glad you’re reaping the benefits of your hard work and talent.. Anyone with a few brain cells left figures that touring the **nation** is a lot, and we know you’re trying hard to find balance with that, your precious FAMILY 💓, the podcast and I’m sure plenty of other important things in your life that we don’t get to see. No worries. Hello folks and hey bear! Go Nate go!! 🎉

[@jeffmedders]

The Olympics are this summer. It’s time for the Natelympics. Shot-put, sprint, speed reading, swimming, and basketball. Let’s goooo.

[@georgiegirl0621]

Fantastic Idea! You should email the show with that one!

[@juddjohnson5200]

LOL. Nate 'speed reading' is going to be hilarious.

[@heatherhusk3614]

The rant was perfectly said. It felt like Nate was the leader of a revolt and got us all stirred to take action. We are behind you Nate! Bring back the good ole days!

[@goldpanrecords]

I spoke with Butterbean about the possibility of coming to do a show in our small town's theatre about a year ago. When I told him it was a 60 seat venue, he winced and said "that's pretty small." I told him I completely understood and thanked him for his time. So imagine my surprise when I turn on today's podcast and hear him talking about performing to a hotel lobby. Unbelievable. All kidding aside, the invitation still stands, Breakfast! Hillsboro, IL would love to host you! The theatre now has a 200 seat room, and I know we could get you a sold out show or two. Love the podcast. Keep up the great work, fellas! -Matt Sands

[@princesssummerland7269]

We know you’re working Nate, we love you and glad you are here today ❤

[@HopeWaller-dm3zy]

Dusty mentioning how skinny jeans are not in style got me thinking, y’all should do an episode on fashion trends. It would be very entertaining to have a group of guys wearing baseball caps and sweatshirts, talk about fashion.

[@katylynnj]

Nate's rant was great. I agree with so many points. I put on this show and Nateland comedy to escape the heaviness of the world. I don't have to worry about my kids listening in (other than them judging me for laughing at non-sense often. I appreciate that it exists. I do watch comics with dirtier material, and watch shows that are not kid friendly in the least. But I have 4 kids, 2 who are under 10, and it is hard to find things to watch that feel safe and good for all of us.

[@lisatapley9596]

I'm in Jacksonville, Florida, and I was at work during the eclipse. I was delivering mail, and it just looked like a cloudy day. The wind started blowing a little, and I noticed birds flying around and making alot of noise. I could hear frogs and crickets, and lizards were chasing each other around on the mailboxes(more so than normal). Then one of my customers was outside with her son, and she asked "would you like to put on my glasses and look at the eclipse?" I almost said no, but i said"sure!". And I'm so thankful she let me look! It was just a black crescent, but it looked way cooler than i expected! I quickly gave her glasses back, and told her how grateful i was! I'm so glad i didn't miss out!

[@chanlerraper]

Bayer saying, “I’m taking it wrong.”, in reference to confusing aspirin with toilet paper was criminally glossed over.

[@TerryNagle07]

I agree. I laughed out loud.

[@smokinrodney]

I think they do a great job with the episodes when Nate isn't able to be there. However, when you get a comment like "Is there a certain amount of electricity you can take a bath with?" it really makes you love him.

[@heatherhellickson9166]

❤❤❤CAN I GET AN AMEN❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!! Welcome back Nate and you have hit the nail on the head!!!! I hope and pray that we can turn this ship around! “Reality” TV has destroyed so much of our culture. People being mean and hateful and acting horribly towards each other!!😢 Normalizing atrocious behavior is soul and socially destroying us.❤❤❤❤❤love you all!!

[@karaikner9354]

I’m loving Nate’s POV on what family entertainment should be. Having the family able to watch shows together and laugh is such an amazing way to create some wonderful memories. And yes, sometimes the kids won’t understand all the jokes, but there is something euphoric when as a kid you do understand and you crack up along with your parents!

[@dawnrodriguez5099]

Nate, if you’re going to do a clean movie, send it to angel studios. They’re trying to do that now. Well, they are doing that.

[@hoze11959]

Nate is 100% correct on Hollywood!!!!

It’s called the “entertainment industry” for a reason, it’s a business and at the end of the day businesses exist to make money. A lot of research has gone into defining demographics for a reason, and that reason is you’ll never make something for everyone. Making movies or tv shows is very expensive/risky and if you’re trying to make a product for everyone you’re truly making a product for no one and you will fail as a business. The closest thing you’ll find that’s entertainment for all age ranges is typically animation like Disney/Pixar, Dreamworks, Illumination, etc… these are multi-million dollar companies that employ hundreds even thousands of employees to produce highly tuned products that are designed from every aspect to try and appeal to the widest audiences possible. And even after all that development and testing they can still fail.

[@josephwaller6805]

It's great to see Nate fired up about good entertainment. I can't wait for his movies to start coming out.

[@andreaboyles8470]

My favorite Nate rant yet! I cannot tell you how grateful I am for discovering not only this podcast, but Nate’s well-rounded comedy. I was able to see Nate at Redrocks last year with my husband and kids; a show we continue to quote and reminisce about to this day. Love you guys!

[@williambrown3427]

Blast Radius nailed it when he said that Nate being clean is pushing the envelope today since so few comics are doing it. If you go to your local comedy club on a random night almost every comic will be filthy. It’s so common that being clean and generally inoffensive almost feels rebellious. I love the whole Nateland vibe of funny, enjoyable content that’s for everyone.

[@NathanielBartonComedy]

Yep. When I hit an open mic, if there are 20 comics there I’ll be one of maybe 2 comics who won’t drop an f bomb.

[@BamaBrooke2]

Yes! 100%

[@charles0312]

Super Happy for all of you guys. No apologies needed Nate, the “ Rant” was on point. Love Dusty’s podcast as well, my must listen podcasts for the week

[@jkalbano]

Little tip from a Library Science grad student: you can check out almost any dvd from your public library and if your branch doesn’t have it they can usually get it for you!

[@jeanneadams7733]

This is why I love this podcast so much! Nate is EXACTLY right about the entertainment industry. It's filthy! Knowing I can have a whole family experience at any of your shows is so great! Thank you ALL for being your true self and standing up for your beliefs and making the best clean entertainment for us. Dangit I just love y'all!

[@timbrooks6737]

Took a group to see Dusty at his Thursday night show at Beaches Comedy Club in Panama City Beach. We were expecting good things but man he was off the chains, not stop funny. Right off the bat making fun of the “front porch, they didn’t even have time to stain it yet!” Had the crowd in the palm of his hand in the first 5 seconds and it never stopped. Loved it!

[@DustySlay]

Thank you Tim!!

[@amandakitchens3227]

No need to apologize for the rant Nate. I 100% agree. I’ve also always loved Dusty because of his “crazy conspiracies”, but I’m starting to think I like him because we’re more alike than I realized. When he said we don’t want to be preached at, he’s so right. I can’t tell you how many movies I’ve turned off because I think, what secret agenda are they pushing? I want to be entertained, not be brain washed with political and social statements. That’s why Nateland is so great. Keep up the good work folks!

[@bravesfan27]

Growing up my dad would go on rants and halfway through say “and that’s all I have to say about it” while proceeding to go on about it. But I’m here for it and agree with Nate.

[@amyg.7963]

Loved this rant, it was heartfelt. As a 47 year old bringing my 72 year old mom to your show tomorrow (in New Mexico), we don't want to watch the news. We stand with, and beside you. This podcast got me through covid, you guys feel like friends. You're brilliant at comedy and bringing people together. Thank you. Truly.

[@julezonyabrain]

Hearing how passionate Nate is about Hollywood not being in touch with real people made me love him even more!

[@jakelarsen17]

I often get tired of the rants that happen with various topics, but this Hollywood rant was a breath of fresh air. I couldn’t agree more with everything that was said.

[@jasonbrownbbq]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Everything Nate said about Hollywood needs to be screamed from the rooftops! And Hollywood needs to listen. I'm tired of reading the articles about the lack of audiences for movies - without the authors or execs ever coming to the conclusion which Nate has - STOP MAKING TRASH! I'd love to go to the movies again, I watch trailers all the time hoping something stands out and to look forward to - they just don't seem to exist. I've gone with my wife to see Nate live, and it was awesome. Hope to do so again. I'm looking forward to the new special! I've watched every one of the comics' specials I've been introduced to by the podcast - numerous times, and have become a fan of each of you guys. Nothing Nateland has produced has disappointed - hope his dream of expanding comes true. You guys are great, and what you have here is special. Keep it up!

[@cordellchronicles]

I 100% agree with Nate’s rant about Hollywood. It’s why we love the Nateland guys so much because we can take our 11 and 13-year-old with us and enjoy something as a family. Lately we have been watching classic TV shows like Gilligan’s Island, Home Improvement etc and our kids love them. It’s so hard to find new stuff that we will all enjoy. Can’t wait to see what Nate has in store for the future. Whatever it is, I know we will be supporting it!

[@Bramble.cottage.witchery]

Our family show is one of the same family shows I watched when I was little, Americas funniest videos. Still holds up, my kids love it and we can all watch together. Would LOVE more family TV to enjoy together. Come through, Nate.

[@BamaBrooke2]

Yes! We watch it all the time, too!

[@aubreybosier9276]

Nate, your rant is spot on! I can’t wait to see what you do with Nateland Entertainment!

[@tylerlago9502]

Nate reading my comment about my wife and me having a baby three hours after being at the taping made my wife Sarah and me jump for joy! Our daughter's name is Luana, and I'd get a tattoo of Nate's face if he named his new special after her. The only problem I could see is Nate struggling to pronounce the name of his own special!

[@jordan2736]

Nate’s right. I appreciate that his act is about the hard hitting subjects that really make you think. Before watching him, I didn’t know horses lie down when they sleep or pancakes make you tired. Thank you Nate.

[@K.Fulkerson]

Dusty’s mind working overtime when he found out that Neal Armstrong has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! 😂

[@angie7164]

"moon" :). I had no idea. Again, another educational pod.

[@Seethegood444]

I couldn't believe that either! But I liked the side comments about it relating to acting.

[@NickCancemi]

Nate shared about the fella falling asleep during his special. It reminded me of when my wife and I got to see Nate in Knoxville this past year. We adopted a little girl with some complex medical needs and spent over 200 days in the NICU with her and had been home for a few months learning how to best care for her needs when Nate came to town. Going to his show was our first real date/night out together in over a year. Several times during the show I looked over at my wife after a particularly funny joke only to see that she was completely zonked out. After waking her twice I decided to just let her sleep and enjoy her night out the way she wanted.

[@NickCancemi]

I should add, we at least weren’t in the front row!

[@katylynnj]

You did the right thing! I bet she was happy for the rest and the night out!

[@NickCancemi]

@@katylynnj For sure! I know she enjoyed that nap and we had a great dinner afterwards! I already bought us tickets for when Dusty comes to Knoxville later this year ... maybe she can take a powernap before :D

I just saw Dusty in Florida, and it was a great show. You all enjoy the time out and your little one!!

[@lesliehutchinson6905]

I'm pretty sure I was who he was talking about

[@kelseyjanefisher]

Nate’s “rant” makes my rating of this podcast an 11/10!! Thanks to Brownie’s appearance on the Calm Down It’s Fine podcast, I have been listening in for a couple months and catching up on past episodes. Truly a big THANK YOU for keeping it clean and all the laughs.

[@juliebauman1460]

I was at Brian's show in Fairfield. His show was FANTASTIC! In defense of Connecticut... that was not a great representation of the state. haha Then again, I did see Dusty when he was in Hartford at the comedy club IN A MALL. During Brian's show I was being rude and on my phone - but I had just gotten news my niece, who is out of state, was in a terrible ATV accident. I told Brian after the show why I was occasionally texting and of course he immediately offered to pray for her! I'm ecstatic to report that she is home and doing as well as expected. Will be a long road of recovery - but my sweet girl is going to be okay! Thanks for being kind comedians. You guys are the best!!!!

[@LA_Ohhey_Shotani]

So proud of Nate and all we have accomplished. From watching and listening to Nate for so long and Nateland peeling back the onion to really get to know him I can’t help but feel along for the ride of all of his success lately. It kind of feels like I’m watching my brother succeed and I couldn’t be happier for him. Congrats on everything Nathaniel.

[@ilarriu]

I love Nate’s vision! I can’t count how many times we have done things as a family that only my son likes because I could not find anything that would appeal to the whole family. Also, that comics on his show perform clean. I am starting in comedy at closer to Brainbleed’s age and was in a showcase that my friend who wanted to bring her 11yr old was attending. She reached out beforehand asking if it was suitable and I had to tell her that my stuff was fine, but I could not speak for the other comics. We were bummed that she couldn’t bring her daughter. There is enough stuff tearing families apart. It’s about time we give them reasons to get together.

[@NathanielBartonComedy]

I’ve made the same comment so many times about the “I’m clean, can’t make any promises about the others”. I’m close to 40 getting started in stand up. Right there with you buddy, but I always want my kids or grandma to be able to see my stuff.

[@JerseyGirl50]

I watched the short of “the fly”. Nate handled it in the best way possible with jokes!

[@davephillips4691]

Hollywood is fixated on converting people to their social platforms rather than producing products that entertain. Thank you Nate, in spite of your tremendous success your down to earth humor continues to entertain.

[@DavidVilliotti]

I totally agree with Nate that people are hungry for family entertainment. I have three kids between 5 and 11 and recently we have been having movie nights and we watched all of the three ninja movies, mighty ducks, honey I shrunk the kids and all of us love those movies more than anything coming out today. I can’t wait to see what Nate produces.

[@codybourque337]

The rant was so on point. I fell in love with Nate’s comedy many years back after seeing him on the Stand Ups. I didn’t notice he was clean until he answered a question about it on one of the first podcast episodes. Since then, I’ve seen Nate 3 times and showed his comedy to my girlfriend, my parents, and my girlfriend’s parents that have all loved it and have come to shows with me. It’s a testament to Nate’s level of expertise and genius, but also living proof of his rant on entertainment. Oh by the way, Nate you owe me some commission on all the extra tickets I’ve helped you sell. Love you!

[@JS-ri3wd]

I totally agree with Nate on the entertainment vacuum created by the de-emphasis of family today. I'm always looking for entertainment that my whole family can enjoy and it's literally a pleasure to invest in that.

[@GarrettEaglin]

Love this rant!! Favorite one so far

[@hollygolden9673]

I am looking forward to Nate's next special! I am a big fan.

[@laurastaats3954]

Nate is spot on! TGIF was great because the whole family could watch together. My family loves to watch movies together but unfortunately we usually can’t find anything appropriate for us all with having younger kids. Please Nate create something when you get a breather! You’re my fave! 💕

[@Big_Sis_Chris]

The way Nate never finishes a sentence before moving on with his words is HILARIOUS 🤣

[@princesssummerland7269]

It so endearing ❤😂

[@lmertsch]

Nate is a million percent spot on!! Families need things to go watch together! I think if there were good family friendly and actually FUNNY sitcoms out there that families would sit down and tune in, can’t wait for the day Nateland puts out a sitcom, I know it’s coming!

[@bethanyf9389]

Your “rant” on what is available for entertainment is so spot on! People making movies and TV shows right now are so far removed from the reality of most American’s lives that they can’t create what we want to see. I would watch whatever you create - a Nateland sitcom would be amazing! My husband and I don’t go to movies anymore and you put into words exactly why we don’t. We’ve only gone out to a couple of shows (no sports, no concerts) in the last 10 years - one of which was yours 😊 My mom (60-ish old grandma!) and I will be there next week to see you in Sioux Falls - thank you for coming! But I have a question for Aaron…did you like the Sour Cream Raisin pie???? 🤣 born and raised in SD and I’ve never eaten a piece… 😅

[@johnposey983]

I was at Aaron's show this weekend, so I'm one Breakfast short of hitting for the Nateland cycle, having seen Nate and Dusty recently as well. At the show, there was a loud conversation between the server and the people sitting behind me that was super distracting, just as Aaron started his closing bit. It went on for about 10 minutes and they were clueless that the whole room was distracted and annoyed at what was going on. I got pretty frustrated, and turned around to shush them at one point, but all I could think of to say was "enough!" Unfortunately it didn't work as well for me as it did for Aaron at Nate's special. Despite the distraction, it was a very funny show! Thanks for coming out and hopefully that didn't leave you with a bad taste in your mouth for our city.

[@KaylaHargrove1991]

This was one of the best episodes so far! I work from home and the days get very boring but I always look forward to Wednesdays. Also completely agree with this week’s rant about entertainment. The BAND’s perspective is probably why they’re all doing so well

[@marshallbarker3211]

I just watched the Hollywood episode and saw the 40 yard dash footage for the first time. As a man with a few months on Brouhaha, I am very impressed with his running ability. Having not attempted to sprint in many years, recently my granddaughter's dog got out of the yard and I decided to give chase. Almost immediately I was aware that it was a poor choice on my part. My feet couldn't keep pace with my upper body and perhaps 7 yards from where my very masculine sprint began, and with the grace and poise of a newborn Belushi, I slammed face first into the pavement. The elderly woman across the street happened to be outside and came to my aid, making it just that much more humiliating. Apparently, however, the impact was enough to frighten the dog back into the yard. So, I call it a win. Bumbershoot is my hero...

[@RingoDGD]

I so hope they air the Netflix Is A Joke special from Hollywood. The lineup is just incredible!

[@SarahNashB]

I watch Bluey as a 42 yr old with my 12 yr old son and my 17 yr old daughter!! It’s so relatable and precious and funny. It’s a huge hit!! Hello to Hollywood!! That’s what we want as families!!!

[@meg5897]

I love the Hollywood rant. It is exactly the truth. I want to go to movies but nothing to watch. I was watching my wife and kids on Netflix and it reminded Me of that old school TV show you can just enjoy with your family.

[@marysmcree]

Nate gets it! Everyone here does. You all seem to have strong family values. We don’t want Hollywood’s agenda. We want family shows that you can watch with your spouse, with kids etc. It’s why the George Washington skit went over so well. Humorous and relatable for all generations. I do miss good movies at the theatre. I hope someone sees the need and you can bring that form of entertainment back into the mix and make a product that the majority of the country really does want.

[@Itsjrdot]

Dusty DEFINITELY says a “T” after a “d”. I hear it in “Bad” and “Good”. He says “badt” and “goodt”

[@timothymiles7620]

Nate getting Popeye and Gilligan mixed up is why I love Nateland!

[@chazmcpeake]

Nate is completely right on with TV and Movies. TV has become so individualized just like everything else that it actively splits families up to watch their own things. I believe that’s why Bluey is so popular. It is something the whole family can watch together. Go Nate. I volunteer to work at NateLand Studios and make family media come back!!

[@aaronwetzel9702]

I think your comparison with the cell phone is spot on. Hollywood is trying to cater to pockets of people now, rather than a brood spectrum of the population. And, unfortunately, it means that the shows have to be peppered with things that only pockets of the culture actually want. Couple that with the extreme divide in politics and it makes it worse becasue politics are injected as well, further ostracizing audiences. It's incredibly frustrating and I appreciate Nate's take and his desire to want to highlight that audience! I'm so excited to see him in a month!

[@KristaNebeker]

Amen Nate!! Our family of 4 boys have struggled to find anything we can watch together!! Please keep moving your ideas forward! I watch hunting Alaska shows with my husband cause this woman refuses to watch ignorant women on “housewives!” We watch comedians and outdoor things!

[@tuckeramber33]

I have probably only commented on three YT videos in the 15 years I’ve been on here, but I felt compelled to leave one here. Nate, your Hollywood rant is 100% spot on- I love going to the movies but there is usually nothing showing that looks like it would be fun to see or something I could see with my family. The last movie I saw was a re-run of Spider-Man 3 (w/ Toby McGuire) on a Monday night. Not only was the show sold out but it received a standing ovation at the end. There were several families there and everyone had a great time, and without having to tense up in fear because there were no adult-only scenes in the movie. You are right- people want to get out and go have a great time (even if they don’t have kids), and most forms of entertainment that are being released are completely missing the mark. Thank you for this rant- I can’t wait to see how Nateland makes a big impact on entertainment for all ages!!

[@DavidBushey1980]

I know it’s a clean podcast but I laughed when Nate said he feels Dusty is the kind of guy that likes to pitch a tent when he’s on the plane. Aaron laughed in a way I think a lot of us do when we know we should not be laughing.

[@LuzDeMariposita]

I came straight to the comment section to see who all else had picked that up. I’m still laughing

[@bipsomma2483]

I love Nate's take on how movies aren't dead. I totally agree. Ps- absolutely love this podcast and love that I can listen to it with my kids. My 11 year old son has asked me to save a few episodes for our road trip so we can listen to them together.

What Nate is saying about Hollywood is so spot on. My husband and I just usually watch reruns of old stuff because everything now sucks.

[@NathanielBartonComedy]

Amen for creating content anyone can watch. Whether I’m doing standup or making videos for my KZbin channel, I’ve always said I want my kids or grandma to be able to watch all my stuff.

[@kristinamarshall6386]

I was just having a conversation with my husband about the exact thing Nate talked about. There is nothing being made that I want to see. Both Shows and movies. The last movies I enjoyed were smaller productions by comedians like Ray Ramono, or Adam Sandler. I'm ready to watch what Nate comes up with!

[@RingoDGD]

Here's my rant on Nate's "rant" about what is being made in Hollywood. He was absolutely Spot On! My wife and I used to go to movies probably once per month, now we never go unless there is a "Christian Movie" that comes out. Everything doesn't have to be a Christian Movie, but the powers that be simply saw that in the last 20 years the movies that sold the best were Rated R, so now they push to get that rating. I love watching stand up comedy, but after Nate and Jerry, I don't really want to see anyone because I don't need to hear a bunch of F Words and talk about sex. I so appreciate what Nate, and really this entire group is trying to do. As an example, I've watched Bill Burr. He is absolutely hilarious, but I'm not going to watch him. If I went out and met someone, and began speaking with them, and they spoke like Bill Burr, I would try to leave that conversation as soon as possible. If he heard me say that, he would call me a wuss or something worse. That's fine, say what you will. There is a LARGE audience out there that care what they see and hear and don't want trash going into their brain. Thank you Nate, keep it up!!!

[@katrockwell2942]

Our family has started breaking out old DVDs to watch instead of streaming. Unfortunately some platforms will show inappropriate commercials in the middle of family programming and we just don’t have to worry about that with DVDs.

Good idea. I have been watching all the good old family movies on utube, some of which are worth watching over and over. I say go with what we have. The latest technology for the common population has really made alot (ALOT) available that is worth watching. I think I have not seen as many great movies this past few years as I ever saw growing up. Just a thought. 😊

I appreciate Nate’s passion. I’d like to know some examples of movies from the past that he’s referring to. He mentioned tv shows but didn’t talk specifically about films that brought people to the theaters that could still work today

[@cathysemmes8874]

Went to the Lafayette show. Talk about something you'd watch/listen to again. I always say that I can listen to Nate say the same thing 50 times, and I laugh every single time. Already told my husband we're going back to see Nate again, but I'm getting an entrance aisle seat - making a high-five my goal! :)

Nate, I LOVED, capital L, your rant on Hollywood and what is being made and what is not. I think the one thing you might be missing on is that it can't just be "family appropriate" it has to be clever, funny, entertaining AND "family appropriate" and it seems like we often sacrifice one or the other. There's actually a lot of family appropriate content out there, but its just not good. OR something is funny and entertaining, but to your point its really crass or rude or only meant for a certain demographic. But isn't this the same with comedy? There are so few "clean comedians" that kill. There are HUGE comedians that are also adult, like Chappelle or Kevin Hart, and you think, man imagine if they decided to do a clean set, how much bigger could they be. Interestingly enough, you know who figured that out? Eddie Murphy. In the 80's, Eddie was huge, but he was also pretty foul, both in comedy and movies. But apparently after he started having kids, he worked exclusively on content that was more family friendly, and he still killed. Not as many people saw all of those films, but he did extremely well. I think you are on to something, and I look forward to the content Nateland will be producing for years to come.

I love getting drunk and listening to this podcast! Some people say I have a problem but the wholesomeness makes me know it’s ok. One more drink! Cheers!

[@Kmc9]

I sincerely hope you get the help you need bud

[@matty55890]

You’re doing great buddy!!! Keep up the great work. Cheers!

[@kellygreen8467]

Tv shows are tough these days. I grew up watching shows with the family and we loved movies. These were events that we would get excited about! There isn’t much being put out there now. There is a couple of shows that I don’t miss. One called So Help Me Todd gives me that feeling of excitement when a new episode comes out. I could watch it with my parents without feeling awkward! We need more of that!

[@RoyAlWhicheez]

Netflix is opening a movie studio 5 minutes from my job. I'm formally inviting all 4 of you to NJ. Come here and make whatever you want!! I absolutely love how passionate Nate is about the entertainment industry

[@oh_its_Liz]

The best Nate Rant ever! I will be here for every Nateland Entertainment venture. I appreciate you putting words to what my husband and I have complained about for years.

[@robwilson6688]

You guys gotta clip out Nate’s entertainment/Hollywood rant and pair it with a nice click baity title and that thing will go viral. Keep doing what you’re doing guys!! You got it right

[@perrymartin3143]

Went to the store to buy some roundup for work this morning. I put it right back on the shelf when I saw spectricide and bought that instead. Shout out Dusty Slay

[@TwoQuickOnes]

hi Nate and guys! my wife and i have been fans for years, and we finally decided this december to buy tickets to your show for our wedding anniversary...only problem is, we had the wrong date, and just realized we missed the show yesterday😭my wife is obviously devastated and I am too (i mean seeing you would be great, but lighting $300 on fire is a tough pill to swallow)...i'm not asking for a refund, but if there's anything your team could do, that would be rad. (or a shout out on the podcast..she listens religiously, and i think she loves you guys more than me tbh.....but that's another convo) all the best, david

[@TerryWeaver]

Dusty is so spot on, "You don’t have to compromise the art, you just have to be a better artist." This is so good Nate. Love it!

[@MichaelElliott83]

"I knew there was something about John, probably reptilian..." so funny lol

[@jessjc816]

I'm so glad Nate was back this week--he's coming to my hometown tomorrow night (5/3/24) and tickets sold out way too fast. I figured between the special (once it's released) and the podcast, I'll just let myself imagine I was in the arena! Love the joy y'all bring to our world!

[@timfrancis74]

Totally agree with the rant.... My wife and I have a 4 year old and 2 year old, and we would always have the Office or Parks and Rec on while we were at the table eating supper. When our daughter started asking "where's Michael" after season 7, I couldn't have been more proud that she noticed.... But we realized she was understanding what was going on and it may be time for more family friendly TV that we could also tolerate. Full House on Hulu is where we are at now and we are all loving it. I told my wife, we need something like this now and I think Nate and crew have to be the ones to make it happen! So this was a very timely episode as we just had this conversation. Love the pod, keep it up. Also please don't judge us for having the TV on while we eat

[@Marie-mo9id]

My husband got one of those zappers as a Christmas present for our daughter. She loves it! She's our resident fly and mosquito killer.

Nate is on point about Hollywood. There are so many movies that are set in NY or LA which I will usually not watch unless the story is really compelling. There are so many movies or series I'll start streaming then quit after 10 minutes. One thing they need to stop is their messaging and propaganda like Rusty said. Another thing is that so many entertainment people preach against regular people owning guns, but there are so many scenes with bloody shootouts. As for George Carlin, there's still an audience for comedy that can point out hypocrisy as brilliantly as he did.

[@dgrossen]

My wife and I traveled from Salt Lake to the Hollywood bowl to see the Netflix is a Joke show. And while all four comedians were so funny Nate was our favorite. It was the first time we saw Nate live. We’ve been catching up on Nateland podcasts and we were bummed to learn we missed Dusty in So Cal. We explored Hermosa beach looking for him, but all we found was some college kids wearing Georgia Tech hoodies, so we yelled “Go Jackets!” Because we visited Atlanta once.

[@weezywonder44]

This is by far the best podcast. Dusty and and Aaron going back and forth most of the podcasts is funny. Brian is good at dropping little one liners and Nate kind of sits back and chimes in ever so often. Favorite podcast.

[@lesliehutchinson6905]

I was falling asleep in my seat at the Saturday special. Not front row but 6 rows back. It was less from being intoxicated and more that I worked at 5am that morning. I was also the guy that yelled out "Hey bear!" at the celebrity theater first show. In regards to the NFL game, we go hard in Arizona.

[@rhesemorgan3716]

Man, when Nate rants, he RANTS! Most of this episode was Nate spitting wisdom about the entertainment industry. Loved seeing the whole gang back together, and can't WAIT to see what the future of Nateland is going to be!
