Nateland | Ep #41 - Philosophy

[@corymckenzie6354]

Great episode of Aaronland! Although it was impossible to listen to the entire episode, because in order to do so you have to first make it half way. And to make it halfway, you have to first make it half of halfway. And to make it there, you have to first make it past Nate’s philosophy on quitting or not quitting soda.

[@corymckenzie6354]

@@yellowbrand maybe he’s referring to Nate’s philosophy on soda. It seams so many people think diet soda is good for you when it’s not. Also the idea of trying to quit something, feeling like you can’t, so you try to quit something even more difficult. Idk

[@randylahey1542]

Its a true fact!! I’ve been listening to this posdast for 23 hours and I still havent reached half

[@zachbarbarise2877]

I enjoyed how quickly Aaron went from explaining that he failed two Philosophy classes and didn't get his degree, to becoming the de facto Philosophy expert of the show no less than 3 minutes later.

[@closequarters4575]

To be fair, a minor in Philosophy is plenty to carry a conversation.

[@jacobharbert4332]

😂😂

[@BearWithoutHair]

Really enjoyed listening to today’s episode of Aaronland featuring Breakfast and Nathaniel. I heard it in my quad on the way to work. Yall are today’s modern philosophers, Playdough, Aeropostle, and Soccerteams. Great stuff fellas.

[@WillboeBagins]

Aaron: explains complex philosophical ideas flawlessly. Also Aaron: "I thought kanye said that" in responds to one of history's most famous and wide known qoutes.

[@johnmichaelschmidt2195]

If Aaron is successful in helping Nate understand what Philosophy is, he should earn an honorary PhD from Notre Dame.

[@turambar25]

Nate fully understands philosophy. Also, it's obvious why Agag failed logic.

[@therobertharte]

I love how Nate keeps referring to the standard 12oz can of pop as the "lil ones"

[@torinschonta2042]

I teach a high school level intro to Philosophy class. So I was burdened with the question, "does knowing something about the weeks topic make the episode more or less enjoyable?" The answer is unequivocally more enjoyable! Watching Aaron flex his college minor and Basket Case read more quotes from the office than actual philosophers, all while Nate is having absolutely none of it was unbelievable! One of my favorite episodes yet, keep up the great work!

[@mrlandscapellc1131]

Nates definition of a philosopher: “those think guys”. He actually said that at the end of the episode

[@Two3tv23]

“We would smoke cigarettes in the parking lot at vol state, the quad was a 4 door Honda” 😂😂 I died of laughter for approximately 4 minutes and 20 seconds

[@gracepateras5758]

we always loved the quotes like "Live until you die" - especially great when they're tattoos. We take them a step further in my family and say "sleep until you wake up", "eat until you're full", "run until you're tired."

[@codybourque337]

Nate: "I've been using a lot of big words lately" Everyone present, watching, and listening: "yeah okay buddy"

[@xThePsychoNautx]

Hello folks, Hello Bates, I know you're reading this. Lol Im just here to to ask Nate to tell the basketball story with Nic Noviki. I will continue to ask every week until Nate finally, graces us with the funniest story I have heard in a long time. Keep up the good work guys.

[@thematblais]

I just want a full episode on paradoxes... just 2 hours of Aaron explaining a failure of logic of some sort with Nate replying that he could still slap him in the face.

[@brookspn]

I'd watch a podcast of comedians trying to parse Russell's Paradox.

[@sethlynch89]

Watching this so early I'm in the single digits on views. It's 4 am on a night shift. This is the perfect thing to finish off the night

[@Mr.PepeSilvia]

Looks like it's just us and the bot that already commented

[@chefxhyrule242]

Same I work over night and this drops within the last 3 hours of my shift

[@ericsillies]

You know a podcast is good when Wikipedia is the most reliable source of information on the show. I love this podcast and try never to miss an episode and tell all my friends. I try to retell a moment or a joke and realize it is totally falling flat and say, “but trust me it is great”. I can’t do it justice but you guys kill it every time

[@thrift5]

Nate being amazed at what major universities have reminds me of when you go to your rich friends house as a kid and they had all the name brand snacks your parents wouldnt buy you...

[@christinaelle5843]

Favorite episode by far, so much comedy gold in here. I am blessed to have you 3 as part of my life. Philosophy part 2!!!!!

[@morgan0179]

Easter Sunday I went to a Sunrise Service as the rest of my family slept in. I've been dieting since September, but knowing full well that Easter was going to be a cheat day, I decided to swing by McDonald's on my way home. The truck behind me in the drive through had a Dallas Fire Department sticker on his windshield. My dad tried from the DFD in 2005, so I decided I would pay for his food. Once I had that thought I couldn't help but think about Aaron's new album, which made me have this thought: When you go to McDonald's and are going to eat bad, make yourself pay for the person behind you, as an "unhealthy food tax." Maybe that will be motivation to eat better...

[@mrlandscapellc1131]

Pretty sure Nate just started a global revolution with “All Words Matter!” Possibly one of the greatest quotes of all times and I hope he participates in my “All Words Matter” protest. I’m guessing he never thought the Philosophy podcast was gonna lead to his greatest quote and an “All Lives Matter” movement sweeping across the country.

[@MrHkballer1]

Absolutely, hands down, no questions asked... this is the best podcast in the series!

[@SteveKelly1]

Brian -- I love that you were giving the business to Nate early in the episode! This is the Brian Bates we need more of. Soon you'll upgrade from "Broccoli Bates" to "Backbone Bates!" Love ya Backbone; Aaron and Nate are good too.

[@CameronCiesil]

Nate would be the guy who starts rapidly opening and closing one hand in response to the philosophical question: " What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

[@erinj.2501]

"In 1900 God said Nietzsche's dead." -- Caught me off guard and made me laugh so much!!! :-D

[@jg8575]

I am a late listener to the podcast so for the past two months I have been bingeing this podcast and have finally caught up. I have listened to it so much that I will bring it up in conversation with my wife at least once time a day. It's driving her crazy. When ever I start to say "that reminds me" she stops me and says "let me guess your best friend Nate Bargatze....." And she's right. Thanks to this podcast my wife now hates y'all without ever even listening to y'all. Anyways thank you Nate, Gout, and Breathe Right for the endless clean laughter. Keep it up.

[@lyciabond]

I listen too much and my boyfriend's name is Nate and I talk about Nate Bargatze to my Nate daily. There was once I went an hour and a half without bringing Nate Bargatze up and my Nate goes "wow that is the longest you've gone without mentioning him or the podcast"

[@barfymann362]

I was expecting Nate to name this episode "Philosophy", but end up talking about "Psychology".

[@dillonburt2823]

This is the best episode of Nateland. I’ve watched it so many times.

[@patricknew9547]

When I was a kid i wanted to be an architect but my dad told me " you're not very good at drawing or math may be architecture is not for you" that's why I love nate. He can barely pronounce 25 percent of the english language and he chose public speaking as a career. I love your will power nate

[@Yaptracks]

The irony of this being the philosophy episode and hear we have nate giving his philosophy on why he think diet coke isn't the problem.

[@matty55890]

This is the greatest Aaronland episode of all time!!! He killed it

[@user-dh5yi9hz7p]

When Nate talked about the whole world being claustrophobic I almost had a panic attack. He's right.

[@shellyewonchuk2272]

How you gonna just blow past Nate saying penguins have it rough because they have to walk around in a suit all day. I about died laughing!!!

[@TheChampion145]

This has been one of the best episodes yet! It has actually made me go do my own research on Philosophy and learn more about it! Thanks for the laughs and the info! I even think Bar Fight learned something this time!

[@buckkylem]

I’m dying listening to this. My god... this is the best episode of any podcast on KZbin. It’s so great having an almost “educated philosopher” battle wits with the greatest average American and lose. Logically, I can slap you.

[@codybourque337]

This episode was truly a classic battle of the minds...

[@cspunk86]

This is the first episode I listened to several months ago and this is AT LEAST my third time listening to it and I’m still cracking up!! Pure gold!!

[@adambenefield2626]

I fully expected Nate to jump across the table and slap Aaron when he was explaining the dichotomy paradox really mixing up the type of podcast this is

[@jamalthedude]

Every week I play this show and every week my roommate tries so hard to get why I am crying in laughter but she only ever makes it 10 minutes in and leaves the room. Little does she know thats what I want! 2 birds 1 stone. Keep up the good work

[@yvonnern2006]

All words DO matter. They have the power to build up or to destroy. To cause laughter or tears. To engage you in the desire for more conversation or to make you roll your eyes and walk away. To make you find a friend for life or “ block” them from your social media pages… Keep up the thought-provoking pods,guys! ✌🏻

[@irmazandl]

LOVE these guys. And especially Aaron - so smart about so many things!! My favorite podcast at the moment!

[@JDMoore-fs6sl]

Best episode yet! Get that man an interesting topic and he shines! Aaron carried the show. Also Aaron, that shirt fits you like a glove buddy.

[@Carlyone2007]

I’m a 73 year old woman who thinks she’s much younger until passing a mirror. IMHO Nate you are the funniest male stand up around. I’ve watched Tennessee Kid at least 5 times and laugh each time as if it’s the first I’m hearing it. I was making a 3 1/2 hour drive home to Texas from WinStar casino in OK yesterday listening to the podcast and laughing so hard I rear ended a SUV at a red light just as I reached my hometowns city limits. No harm done except his trailer hitch cratered my license plate. Had my car caused extensive damage to his I would have definitely named you and Aaron and Mr Bojangles co conspirators or whatever the people who cause wrecks are called. So I’m adopting you boys as sons and grandsons but don’t expect homemade cookies or knitted mittens cause I’m not that way. But if you book shows at a casino near me I will come see you and buy you a beer after the show. Thanks for making the world a better place. I truly love you three guys and wish the best for each of you. Nate you would have made a fabulous Court Gesture. 💙

[@Mr0hji]

At first I thought the advice Nate got from Mike was "you gotta get the Nose out of the way first" and he was making a philosophical point on getting out of your own way. Now I'm in my head about how the more I think about seeing my nose the less I see the world outside of myself

[@georgesniadoski5950]

Why do I get the impression that Nate is the Michael Scott of the podcast while Breakfast is the Toby??

[@corymckenzie6354]

And Aaron is like a mixture of Andy, Creed and Bob Vance

[@traviskent3108]

Bengay trying to defend his research from Wikipedia is one of my favorite parts of this show. Since elementary school I’ve been told never to use Wikipedia for research, yet somehow this podcast has 41 episodes centered around just that...Nate is right, school was pointless.

[@TerrillFischer]

Aaron is my favorite giggling Philosopher. Great job you guys!

[@Neisteter]

The comments about wrestling at the start of an episode on Philosophy is exactly why I keep listening to this.

[@RattlesnakeJakeladd]

After hearing this, all I can think is we need a whole episode of Nate trying to understand Schrödinger's box!

[@gilharris6900]

Hey folks! Another NICE podcast! Love the wordplay... Court gestures and all. Thanx a lot. 👍😂

[@chrislangmo6209]

Hello Folks! I absolutely loved this one off episode of AaronLand..... don't know why the title has Nateland in it but regardless great episode. I look forward to traveling to Batesville sometime soon!

[@ceoptimist]

"Make yourself ready for any opportunity that comes" More wisdom from Nate Bargatzi

[@everytomday]

aaron with the new lap top, its gold jerry!! this podcast is obviously taking off

[@caseyhowell7445]

I just discovered Nate’s comedy from a suggestion by my brother that I watch his new special. After watching, I’ve been catching up on Nate’s other specials, clips, etc. In The Tennessee Kid, he talks about his dog living six months longer than expected. It reminded me of a childhood experience involving my Great Great Aunt. She was in her 90’s and wasn’t expecting to make it many more days. So much so that my family gave her Christmas presents in like October in case she didn’t make it until Christmas. Long story short, she was with us for at least two more Christmases and I can’t help but wonder if she knew what was going on when she received those early gifts!

[@joed7538]

Anyone who thinks Nate is actually going through emails and comments himself couldn't possibly be a true fan. He can barely get through the comments curated by Brian. Pretty sure the comments portion of the podcast is the number one source of reading material for Nate each week, with the back of the cereal box being a distant second.

[@jensenmelville6948]

Nothing will help me sleep like listening to nate stumble through the comments

[@MikeHunt-md4bq]

I can't get enough of this podcast

[@cbailey4322]

I laughed as hard as Aaron did at this episode and you know that’s saying something

[@WillboeBagins]

"does the before picture have a workout?" is an Amazing quote from Nate the great.

[@thomasbuchanan4936]

That Aaronland "what is a table" bit reminds me of one of my favorite quotes "all words are metaphors and all metaphors fall short of what they represent. - Anonymous" - Thomas Buchanan

[@brandonmelchert3117]

At the 45 minute mark, I realized I had totally spaced out and didn't hear a word, so I went back to the beginning and then heard the comment about the guy who zoned out and didn't even bother rewinding which is hilarious. Love the podcast guys.

[@brendanboudreau5161]

When Aaron said he thought Kanye came up with, “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger”, I almost choked on my breakfast. I have been told that by every adult that thought they had something clever to say when I hurt myself, since I was a child. Love the podcast, one of the funniest episodes yet.

[@colleenla40]

“All words matter” - Nate Bargatze

[@perryjross47]

I love that you are talking philosophy. In Mel Brooks movie History of the World Part 1, he plays what we would call a comedian, but he called himself a “stand-up philosopher.” Nate would have crushed it back then. They would have taken Aaron way too seriously and Buttercup could be the court “gesture” to open up for Nate. Love the pod. You are the best!!

[@kylemomeyer2591]

Nate's next Netflix special "Father of Modern Modern Philosophy"

[@jordanpardue2615]

I survived cancer while falling 30,000 feet from a burning plane and landing on a cactus. Your podcast has helped me through it. Please acknowledge me

[@kentscroggins4982]

The fact that you are a Bama fan and your last name is Pardue should be reason enough to hear Nate read it try and pronounce. 😂

[@BearWithoutHair]

@Jordan Pardue dude exactly lol. Not only do you get it, but your comment is a very clever way of calling it out. Props to you 🤙🏽

[@bryanmckinstry3855]

How to guess someone’s SAT scores without them saying their SAT scores Most famous quotes: Aaron- “I think, therefore I am” Bathtub- “You had me at hello” Nate: “Cowabunga” Every week you guys seem to make these topics hilarious. Love the show guys!

[@FeastForThought]

Finally I found a podcast talking about the 3 great philosophers, Frank Bargatze, Ted Lasso and Michelangelo from the Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles... lol

[@score3q]

A lot of my Architecture Schooling was theory based. There was one assignment where we had to choose between stair/column/window/wall and explore it's parameters- at what point does it quit being said thing- and use that in terms of designing and entire building.

[@RossWoodsJr]

Every week Nate crushes an exasperated Brian for a multitude of things. And every week Brian consistently has the best one liner of the whole show. “That’s why I’ve never moved.” Such an amazing line. The man is the glue holding the show together. Although I will say this week was one of Nate’s and Aaron’s best performances. Every episode should be something Aaron is amazing at so he talks more.

[@emmaskinner4377]

I’m gonna be honest fellas...you were out of your league on this one. Some of us don’t know what a quad is, but let’s try to tackle some of man kinds deepest questions. I love your effort! Happy to be along for the ride of it!! I’m here for it all!

[@twins4011]

You are giving me terrible flashbacks from my Logic class in college... with all the what is a table talk! I may have nightmares tonight.. wake up screaming... DAM AARON WEBER!!!!! Great show. thanks for the laughs.

[@freeradical77]

You guys are the highlight of my week. I don't know if that's a good thing, or if my life is just really pathetic. (Just kidding - love you!)

[@dandahl9200]

Hello, folks. Big fan of the podcast and the San Francisco Giants. Really happy to hear Nate and Mike Yastrzemski are buds. A baseball episode with Yaz would be awesome.

[@richardgatling4663]

This is fantastic. This whole time I thought I was emailing Nate and as it turns out, I’ve been emailing his dad.

[@ogmickeydiamond]

Bottom-of-the-Ninth’s wrestling move: Nose Whistle Aaron’s move: Gout Foot Stomp Nate has a few signature moves: The Reversible Jacket, The Dead Horse, Iced Coffee with Milk, and The Olivia

[@kyleolenchuk9190]

Easily the best podcast yet. Berkshire Hathaway is actually a pretty funny guy, he should consider becoming a stand up comedian like Aaron and Nate.

[@cortlandblomquist2317]

Nate: “Don’t make me feel stupid, don’t make me feel like you’re holier than thou!” Nate, less than 2 minutes later: “If you’re playing with guys better than you, your score means nothing that day. If you’re really bad, go play on your own.” Unbelievable juxtaposition here. Chef’s kiss!

[@geri.bogseth]

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" That's a Kelly Clarkson song, not a Katy Perry song 🤣🤣🤣

[@Ghillie_Monster]

They were all over the place on that one.

[@geri.bogseth]

@@Ghillie_Monster Hahaha laughed pretty hard on this one

[@Rifka36]

Hi guys! I laughed so hard at this episode. I have a couple degrees, but philosophy was never my thing. HOWEVER, I feel the need to tell Aaron that I not only passed logic and advanced logic, I received an A in both! This information serves no purpose other than to feed my competitive nature. Thanks for the laughs!

[@dprich100]

I have a PhD in International Terrorism from the University of the Philippines so I've taken many philosophy courses. I literally had nightmares after listening to many of Aaron's explanations. What the heck were they teaching at Notre Dame? Nate's hilarious observations and Bingo's obvious (and funny) attempts to help Aaron out saved the day. Just kidding Aaron. Great show boys.

[@probablynotbenji]

I think the title "Philosophy" set my standards too high. 10 minutes in, and Nate has already told Aaron to sit on someone's face.

[@gigglyme2001]

“All words matter” had me wheezing🤣

[@chris_white]

1:05:18 Aaron -- 'I think therefore I am.' ... Name a more famous quote. Brian -- "You had me at hello. Jerry Maguire?" Nate -- "Cowabunga?" I am listening to this in my cube at work and trying to control my hysterical laughter.

[@buckkylem]

Oh god this is gonna be a good one

[@Melon-Lord]

I'm glad that Nate picked up on the fact the table talk was the same as his claustrophobia thoughts

[@aaronrodrigues983]

Zeno's Paradox- an argument that makes sense in theory but whose outcome is absurd or illogical. That should be the new name for Aaronland

[@tylergorham7301]

"If the reach is the reach, the reach is the reach." is going to be my new finisher on any argument.

[@miketraceyyoung6962]

I also was not allowed to watch The Simpsons because my mother didn't want me to grow up to be on drugs, but one day my sister and I were feeling a little adventurous and we watched, I kid you not, 5 minutes of The Simpsons. And in this 5 minutes Lisa is asking Bart philosophy questions and Bart is quickly answering them. One of these statements she makes is "what does one hand clapping sound like?" And he opens and closes his little cartoon hand and says, "like this." That is what this entire philosophy episode has made me think of. Aaron repeating these age old philosophy questions, and Nate just answering them.

[@peterhansen2781]

@36:40 you got Charcoal Briquette laughing so hard we heard some Citrus come out. Nateland>Aaronland>Citrusland. HOW DEEP DOES THIS GO?!

[@nerdhop1584]

Aaron has never sounded smarter yet I can't help but side with Nate's common sense philosophy. Great Episode!

[@jacobsterle5825]

"if yur firing in the kitchen dont come cookin'!" - Nate the Great

[@OlympicUpdates-2024]

Nate's off-hand philosophy of "words are the only things that matter" was like Kevin Malone's idea to put the cookies in the centre of the vending machine, which was misinterpreted by Robert California as "push the top sellers". It sounded smart at first, but was quickly exposed for how shallow and meaningless it is.

[@thomaslongman58]

That’s the most profound comment I’ll read and video I’ll watch this year.

[@destinyengine5234]

I don’t think that Nate listened to our learned a single thing this podcast, and of all of the ones I’ve heard so far, this one was the smartest.

[@Smartalex08]

I love how the great work of Aristotle gets reduced to Stotie! This podcast is the best 🤣

[@stevenfrigard657]

Those "collisions of sounds" in the middle of words are called letters, and they make sounds, and they appear in all the words.

[@cordellchronicles]

The irony that the person who has the most trouble with words says “words are all that matter.” 🤣 Another great podcast guys, keep up the good work.

Did anyone catch Nate's burp at the 1:44 mark? The perks of rewatching these in order. I mean if an unintentional nose whistle is so out of the line, what about the burp?

[@jimboclutch4099]

I had to stop listening to this podcast while I worked out because of how demotivating it was. Now that I’ve gone back to music I’ve actually gotten in shape.

[@drewsorrill6680]

Aaron: I can't cancel this $10 a month gym membership... Buuuutt I can drop in excess of $30 on a multitude of Notre Dame/Nascar Sponsor hats. Also, a comment by Nate that flew under the radar was "Bob Niche" it had me rolling! Great episode folks.

[@CharlesHatcher]

I'm just waiting for the episode when Bread Basket springs a pop quiz on Nate and Aaron to test them on all the ridiculous facts he's taught them.
