Nateland | Ep

[@kevinkeenan3333]

During the height of the SEC conference conversation, Melissa looks like she’s thinking “I’ve got so many things to do and I’m stuck here listening to these idiots”

[@erinj.2501]

That’s how I felt too but at least I could skip ahead! 😆

[@kalabyrum]

The live shot of Nate’s empty chair was priceless 😂 i’m going to get a T-shirt that has Nateland across the top and then a picture of an empty chair underneath it

[@justinhiggins2752]

I'd buy that

[@kalabyrum]

@ I’ve already ordered one. When I sent them the picture, they said “but this is an empty chair“ I said that’s the point 😂

[@RhondaFien]

Can't wait for the Christmas special!!! So excited! Yay, Nate! ❣️❣️

[@justinhiggins2752]

While on a family road trip from Texas to maine, my mother once unexpectedly let out a rather loud sneeze and startled my father, who was driving. Quite flustered, he yelled, "next time you need to warn me! I could have put an eye out!" We all just about died laughing at his comment, and never let him live it down. To this day, if anyone makes a noise while one of us is driving we tell the person that they should have warned us, we could have put an eye out.

[@TaylorSmith-dy5ju]

Native Jackson Tennessean here. First of all, it’s Huntingdon, with a D. And B, Jackson is the 9th biggest city in Tennessee thank you very much.

[@headreddedstepchild6177]

We miss Dusty

[@jaredcaines6688]

And I miss you, dude. I really do. But I think we’ll both be okay. 🙃

[@mkae-16]

You guys mention North Carolina so much, I think we deserve a second episode!

[@argonithon1]

I thought they were saying Dustin looks like Michael Moore and was confused then I realized they were talking about Mackelmore which makes more sense

[@jond661]

😂

[@erinj.2501]

SAME!!!! 🤣

[@coffeegal63]

Yankees unite... that's what I heard..

[@josephlawson7070]

No arguing until Nate arrived, this pod doesn't have a bunch of debates, Nate has a bunch of debates.

[@jaypers232]

And it makes it interesting.

[@Austin_Adams]

Fun fact, I listen to DC Talk’s Jesus Freak every Sunday morning on the ride to church. After roughly 5 years of doing this, my 8 and 5 yr old kids have grown to accept it!

[@brittanysawyer9143]

I’m so worried we have lost the magic of Nateland. We’ve gone from the cozy easy feeling of friends joking together to a cold distant feeling production. I’m staying because I want to love it and I hope it can tap back in to the magic.

[@CranjisMcBuckets]

Aaron getting praise for counting the number of syllables in cross-pollination wrong

[@theTRUTHgroup]

I caught Dustin at the Blue Room in Springfield last week. VERY GOOD! Had a great time!!

[@9988coneil]

They’re really trying to push this new podcast, and the folks are all politely saying no thank you

[@_sowhat_]

Yup.

[@alanadair8890]

This is the best SportsCenter that I've ever seen.

[@cchomedesign]

“Do y’all get together at every protest?” ….. best line of the year!!!

[@anthonydavis3417]

On most road trips, my wife would listen to Nateland with me. On our recent road trip I tried to play “don’t make me come back there” thinking she would be all on board cause she loves family. She asked to change it. She’s said Dustin doesn’t talk about anything, which is ironic considering she’s listened to a good amount of Nateland, the self proclaim podcast about nothing. We both went to see Dustin at the Raleigh Improv. He crushed it and my wife absolutely loved it. This episode should be an interesting car ride.

[@shyfm]

"I didn't live in THAT kind of neighborhood where we have any influence over the sky" LMAO

[@KimWhitson]

Looking forward to the variety special and Netflix special.I love the podcast. I have a friend that doesn’t like Nate’s comedy which I love, I considered dropping her as a friend but we’ve been friends too long. She does love the George Washington skits on SNL so that made it better.

[@MaryMargaretArrowsmith]

I live in Nashville now but was a swimmer growing up in Chattanooga and am still in touch with some of my old coaches. If Dusty ever needs access to a pool for the race, I can set something up. I’ll be driving down for his special taping in February!

[@KarenKurth-f3s]

I hitchhiked home from a neighboring town in Romania and was picked up by a couple. It seemed safe enough. Helf way, in the middle of nowhere, the driver careened off the road to a screeching stop, hopped out of the car and began to beat up a man on the side of the road. When the beating was over, the driver returned, and we continued to my town. I, a single older woman, said nothing during the ride. I had a good cry when I got home.

[@jpfitzify]

My favorite hitch hiker story: My wife and I were in Ireland for a family reunion with our 2 year old son. We he just left town to visit my uncles house a few miles out. There was someone hitch hiking on the side of the road so I slow down and pull over. My wife is hitting me and can’t find the words to question this decision, with nothing but horror written all over her face. I unlock the doors to allow this man to sit in the back next to our 2 year old. “Megan this is my cousin Anthony” I am glad to report we are still happily married and have had more 2 kids.

[@TheAlaskaJoe]

My wife are road tripping from middle Tennessee to the far side of North Carolina. This was the perfect topic. When we finished the episode, my wife said, “I think I’m dumber now than when we started.” That’s her way of saying great job. Keep up the great work!

[@jaypers232]

Mission accomplished on the ads. Nice work boys

[@RandyTahtinen]

the second that Nate arrives - it turns into soft-core sports television.

[@cyninin1346]

This ep turned into a sports argument when Nate showed up. Yikes…not finishing this one sry

[@jaredcaines6688]

Yeah I skipped past the SportsCenter section

[@williambrown3427]

It’s also hilarious that Blockbuster used Jackson Tennessee as a reference point for Huntington. Most of us don’t even know where Jackson Tennessee is either 😂

[@ricksanfordiii115]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. My road trip experience as a child was a little different. I grew up in central Texas in the 70s and we would make an annual trip to near Augusta Georgia for Christmas. My father, having grown up in the 40's, 50's, and 60's as a black child, understood the risks of a black family traveling across southern states like Alabama and Mississippi did not stop unless it was absolutely necessary primarily for fuel. My mom would pack plenty of snacks, sandwiches and drinks and I would bring books and other things to keep me entertained. My father even kept a large empty jar handy for emergency bathroom needs (number 1) and would empty it when it became necessary to stop. As an adult I try to make a road trip more entertaining and rewarding so I will stop in towns that offer cultural enrichment or hold something of keen interest.

[@keepingitreal215]

The podcast has become like the musicians playing on the Titanic.

[@brygoss]

Melissa said Foilage, Brian said Foleage, Aaron can you please say Foliage?

[@Bren3669]

That was wild! I’ve never heard someone mispronounce it foilage before

[@darrwood730]

While listening, I told my son, "People have told me I look like Jimmy Fallon and Robert Downey Jr." He responded, "People say I look like you."

[@ShilohStuttle]

I used to drive our church youth group to events all over! The kids knew 3 things: 1-we don’t stop to pee til I need to. 2-if everyone is asleep we are not stopping. 3-Do not ask if we are lost!! Love you guys, 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@justinhiggins2752]

Just head our first boy a couple of days ago. My wife shot down my idea to name him "Dusty Heybeargatze-Likethebreakfastgrill Higgins". We compromised and went with Jensen Theodore Higgins instead. Oh well, maybe next time. Glad to have Nate back!

[@Bakers924]

Arguing about college football was so funny. It was like Dustin said, “your baby is ugly.”😅

[@CC-vm3lb]

This episode makes me appreciate other episodes so much more.

[@CalebClarka8]

As a Buckeye fan welcome to the Big Ten Dustin. This is what we have been saying about the SEC for years. Just for the record we cheer for the Big Ten especially when they play the SEC. Dustin gained a fan. I will start watching his podcast now.

[@diannawilliams6923]

How disappointing right before Thanksgiving. Rather have nothing than a podcast without Dusty or Nate😢 These guests already have their own podcast associated with Nate.

[@brianbatescomedy]

Nate is the guy on your far left.

[@katethegreat9435]

The hitchhiking talk made me laugh. My dad picked up a hitchhiker once while my siblings and I were in the car. I had to sit next to her in the backseat. I remember filing it away on my THINGS I WILL NEVER DO AS A PARENT list. 😂

[@jttay5869]

Got to see Dusty at Hoyt Sherman in Des Moines last week. Great show and we had a good time!!! We’ve now completed 3/4 of the Nateland slam, now just need to get out to see Breakfast Bates sometime soon!! Love the podcast!

[@tonyspare2468]

Hey is Dusty on the internet today anywhere by chance?

[@TroutFink]

Packing the family truckster up this morning and this is the perfect way to start a road trip

[@healingartwithjan]

There used to be a bathroom rating app called “Sit or Squat”😅

[@MikeTerry1969]

Since we're talking about who Dustin looks like, I say he looks like Chuckie's dad from Rugrats. I'd post a pic if I could.

[@irenictone8109]

No Dusty, no watch.

[@RobertPuckett4]

41:13 Aaron: I slept like a baby…

[@Christian-P.O.V]

Talk of hitchhiking and whether it is legal or not never led to There’s Something About Mary. Not only was it mentioned that it was illegal during the Harland scene which was great, it leads to the best scene of the whole movie which is the police interrogation scene.

I agree with you when it comes to the baja blast but not the original, that stuff is liquid gold!!

Aarons laugh is so contagious! What a way to start!

41:44 this was awfully guys! The sound was so awful i couldn’t stop laughing. 🤣

[@Cole320]

Dustin saying that Clemson is good this year is so telling

[@Bren3669]

i’m terrified to ever have a conversation with a professional comedian because if i’ve learned anything from watching/listening to tons of different comedy podcasts, it’s that a comedian can find the insult in any compliment.

[@higherhippie]

I think NIL deals changed things up a lot as well. Now top recruits have monetary incentive to go to a lot of different schools as opposed to them just wanting to go to the best school like alabama to have the best change of making it to the nfl

[@jordanyospe]

I feel like Nate is completely ignoring that the SEC didn't even have a team in last year's championship game. Michigan beat Alabama and Washington beat Texas.

[@kimhester1465]

Great, bringing back the guest with the most annoying laugh! I would rather just listen to Brian and Aaron.

[@kimhester1465]

Edit, 2 annoying laughs! And now terrible singing!

[@CameronNicholas21]

Dustin sounds just like David Spade

[@brandonconrad56]

What is with the distortion when they read the ads?

[@CameronNicholas21]

I skip the ads when they're prerecorded

[@karenmessinger7089]

Same! And today, they were even worse because the sound quality was AWFUL! So much more fun to listen to the natural riffing that happens when it's live.

[@LA_Ohhey_Shotani]

How about a road trip to Dodger Stadium?

[@michaelsellers8977]

Dustin was bragging about Oregon beating the #2 team just minutes after not even acknowledging when Nate mentioned Georgia beating the #1 team.

[@Bren3669]

I hope this episode will still be great but i prefer when they have comedians on

[@patrickmccormic]

What Dustin is missing, if Saban wasn’t at Alabama, another SEC team would’ve been winning those championships, it’s not the Xs and Os it’s the Jimmys and Joes. Those recruits and players feed to Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Florida. Those teams show up in the playoffs and beat the other conferences. I mean, there are 5 different natty winners in the SEC in the last 25 years in one conference. If you take away the top team from the other conferences, are they still good? The only conference that comes close is the Big 10

[@TravisWhite]

SEC: “in the clurb, we all fam!” 😊

By myself Bates has tough duty on this one. No Nate, no Dusty no me. No offense, but, I watch for the laughs.

This one will test my loyalty... worth the watch/listen?

[@justinhiggins2752]

Agreed. They are so extremely West Coast that it genuinely bothers me to hear them talk about their lives and their parenting styles. I'm glad lots of people like them, but it is very difficult to listen to them

[@djj.86]

@@justinhiggins2752 yes!

[@tomscontras]

Look. I appreciate change and all, but what made this product great was the consistent simplicity of it. The new “last super” studio and all of the guests, it’s just not as good - I feel like I’m watching a Natleand Productions infomercial.

[@piusijachi2763]

The episode with nick zimmerman was amazing... if the guys are around and just talking i think the aesthetic doesn't matter

[@brittanysawyer9143]

It used to feel a friends joking around. Now it feels like work. Not as fun, not as organic, not as personal.

[@Cole320]

I love this CFB fight

[@sandywheeler5500]

Hitchhiking became an issue after the movie Hitcher with Rutger Haure and C. Thomas Howell. After that, people were terrified to pick up a hitchhiker! Also, the TRUE story of Colleen Stan who was picked up hiking then kept as a sex slave for 7 years! Terrifying!!

This will be the first time I am going to have to pass on watching. I really tried to like the Nickerson’s podcast. It’s terrible.

[@JaredMorris-ep1qf]

Quit trying to force us to listen to the Nickersons. They suck really bad. Just look at their podcast numbers each week.

[@DerrickHumphrey82]

Ugh, seriously!!

[@headreddedstepchild6177]

I don't care for the Consumers either, although Greg Warren is funny on here, and I'm sure the other comedians are funny, something about the Consumers and the Nickersons pod just isn't there

[@LA_Ohhey_Shotani]

I am not a fan of just one or two people hosting a podcast. I really like the dynamic of multiple people like on this podcast but also who those people are really matters too. I really want to like the consumers because of Greg Warren, but almost a dozen episodes in I’m still struggling with it. It just doesn’t have that chemistry for me.

[@erinj.2501]

I’ve tried so hard and feel so bad, but I can’t stand their voices or the voices on the Consumers besides Greg. I’m sure it’s the regional accents but it’s all so abrasive on my ears compared to the slower southern tone of Nateland. I could listen to Dusty all day, his voice is just soothing. Makes me sad I can’t listen to Greg’s podcast cause he is awesome. I often think I’ll try again but can never make it past 20 minutes.

[@forrestjackson6581]

It’s pretty clear the Nickerson’s numbers are bad so they’re trying to wrangle more support for it by having him/them guest on the other pods. Probably won’t last if it doesn’t turn around soon. Hate it for Dustin because he seems like a super nice guy, but it’s business ultimately.

[@pansygirltaylor9267]

The books were filthy and soooooo don’t let kids read the books!!! It’s not a kids’ story, just adapted for play and movies that are kid friendly-ish.
