Nateland | Ep #68 Oklahoma ft. Justin Smith

[@aliciataylor2636]

NATELAND: The only podcast I don’t 30-second skip through the ads because hearing Nate try to say “monitoring” is pure gold.

[@andrewheyward8133]

We had a memorial service for my grandmother this past weekend. At the start of the service the pastor came up to do an introduction and started off by somberly saying “hello folks.” Suddenly my cousin yells from the back of the room, “LETS GO FOLKS.” The room was dead silent, and then I barely overheard his wife saying, “I can’t believe you just did that, Dave.” I don’t think anyone else got it, and the pastor was bamboozled, but I got a short break from the sadness and almost laughed out loud. I told him I listened as well after the service, and he said if I left a comment to tell “Baxter” hello.

[@wronskian13]

I hope Nate reads this post just to butcher my name. I came around to this podcast about 6 months ago when my son was born, and I decided to go back to the beginning because I wanted to know the origins of the inside jokes. Many long walks to get my son to fall asleep while weirdly giggling at the podcast while my neighbors question if there really is a kid inside this laughing man’s stroller. This is the first episode I have had to wait for and the smile on my face just hearing the intro music makes me feel like I should go through it all again. Just want to say I love all of this content, and I appreciate seeing the Aaron demographic represented appropriately. Thank you all for this great podcast.

[@kristinashea17]

That's what I'm currently doing! Going back to the beginning haha :)

[@r.zachhowell1009]

At around the 32:42 minute mark, Nate stumbled through a series of words for a few seconds that went something like, “Cana wenah uhhfirsh, imeanuh hammenuh…” I was so convinced he was having a stroke that even I started smelling toast.

[@bhale9489]

The fact that Nate loved Jacksonville proves that he truly is the Greatest Average American 🇺🇸

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

Hello Folks! Nate, Grill master, and Baconator, I became a fan of Nate's with Greatest Average American. Then went back and found all the other specials. About 2 months ago I found Nateland and have become a big time folk. I caught up right before Gameshows and having be re-listening to them while I am working. My wife even surprised me with tickets to Nate's show in Hershey a few weeks ago, and it was awesome seeing you and "Mick"! I am now a fan of all 3 of you! Thanks for all the laughs, and please keep them coming. Let's Go Folks!

[@sethdean700]

Thank you guys so much for making these every week without fail! This podcast got me through a Wednesday PSAT testing at the high school I work at. I was given the honorable task of hall monitor duty and was not allowed to be on my phone or laptop the entire 5 hours of testing. I entertained myself by shimmying my earbuds up through my button-up shirt from my pocket so I can listen to the podcast while I stand around. If an administrator turned the corner I would flip the ear bud off my ear and would have to re-rig the whole thing again. Between that and having other hall monitors look at me weird when I giggled “randomly”, I stayed very entertained throughout the day. Thanks for helping me stay busy and entertained through your dedication and hard work week in and week out! I will try to see all you guys live before I die! Even Breakfast!

I live in Florida, and while it may seem silly, but it’s the least you can do if you’re not going to board that window up for an incoming hurricane.

Thanks folks!

Also, PLEASE do a special in Jacksonville! My husband and I were at the show and it was so great! He has been mad at me for a while because I didn’t comment sooner and invite you to the Jags-Titans game, so I’m glad you said that you had the golf thing so I don’t have to get divorced now. To reconcile with him, he wants me to invite you to play golf with him next time you are in the southeast Georgia/ northeast Florida area. He’s a 2 handicap and has an IQ of about 75 so you two have a lot in common. Anyway, love the podcast! You, Andrew the Celebrity, and Beach Ball make my day every Wednesday.

Happy Anniversary to Nate and Laura!!! October 13th is also MY BIRTHDAY! I remember the day you got married because it was my 16th birthday. I was a sophomore in high school and played football, so we had a football game that night. I was not a Varsity starter but we still had to dress; so I figured I would spend my sweet sixteen birthday on a Friday the 13th on the sideline. BUT then the coach told me that the starting kicker was not going to be able to play that night, and since I was also a kicker he told me to warm up. I was so excited that I could be a part of my first varsity game ever on my birthday. I thought maybe this “Friday the 13th” birthday wouldn’t be so bad afterall. That was all dashed when the coach completely ignored me at the game, picked a random kid who had never kicked before, and let him do all the kickoffs while I stood on the sideline... in the rain... in the cold… on my birthday. The salt in the wound was that the other kid never kicked the ball more than 20 yards…… Worst. Birthday. Ever.

Tulsa show Nate, I have a couple of good stories for you. First, I bought tickets to your Tulsa show in April of 2020. I was newly divorced and had no date lined up but went ahead a got two tickets. Fast forward a year and a half later and not only did I have a date, but she is my wife. I literally had tickets longer than I’ve known my wife, but she is perfect, and your show was absolutely phenomenal. It was both of our first times to go to a comedy show and it was so much fun. Secondly, that was the shiniest zipper pull I’ve ever seen on a man’s jacket. It was like somebody was reflecting light with a mirror in our faces periodically throughout the show. Another couple that we are friends with also stated they were periodically blinded. Nevertheless, it was still a great show, but might want to turn down the jacket bling next time.

Hello Folks!! I've been here since episode 1. I often recommend Nateland to like minded folk but tell them it's best to start at the beginning. This in order to get the full effect of the rolling, ongoing, inside jokes. In a world lacking interest in live TV Nateland keeps us anxious for Wednesday to hear the new episode. This is much like we used to wait an entire week for Seinfeld or Breezy Breath used to wait for FDR to give his fireside chat on the radio every week. Keep up the good work. Don't let the monotony get you down!

Coming from New Orleans, hurricanes often increase at the last second so you don’t have as often as you would think to prepare. The news mostly starts with category 1 or 2 and then at the last second a day or two before says it’s 3 or 4. Traffic is packed at that point when you’re trying to drive 3-4 hours away so you have no time to evacuate without running the risk of being stuck in your car during the storm on top of the issue of not having enough gas because everyone around either runs out or the lines are 1-2 hours long

Next thought was maybe a train, until people around me asked if I felt it, and I asked "Is that not normal"? He laughed and said "No, I think it was a earth quake". Aaron, I'm team hurricane, because it spawns hurricanes, life threatening winds and water surge.

[@ricardomenendez2709]

Hearing the government accidentally bombed a city in Oklahoma reminds me of “The Battle” that happened in my hometown of Palmdale California. It’s actually called “The Battle of Palmdale” and it’s considered one of the militaries greatest embarrassments. One of their hellcat drones they were testing in 1956 went haywire and just went to town flying around. The military decided the best way to get it down is to shoot it over a not very populated area. They proceeded to shoot 208 rockets trying to take it down and none of them actually were able to do it. A lot of the rockets exploded, but there was some that was around town that they told people to call the police of anyone sees one. The drone finally went down after it ran out of gas. Of course my hometown the only thing “famous” about it is it’s an embarrassment to the US military anytime someone mentions “Palmdale”. Love the podcast. Nate, Aaron, and Baboon make a great trio.

Hello Folks! Update from my comment that was read during the Game Show episode. My girlfriend and I are still together, miraculously! And we have a beautiful and healthy baby girl! After some convincing, I was able to get my girlfriend on board with the podcast, and she is now a Folk! We now watch the podcast together as a family! Thank you Bioluminescence, as soon as you start talking it puts my daughter right to sleep, almost instantly; so that’s been a big help during bed time! All jokes aside, thank you Nate, Aaron, and Big Mac for the many laughs and for reading my comment! I would love to see you all perform whenever you come to Detroit! Also, my last name is O’Brien, and the apostrophe in my name has never gotten enough respect

"Far and Away" was not based on the 1889 Land Run which opened the Unassigned Lands in Central Oklahoma. It was based on the Cherokee Strip Land Run in northwestern, Oklahoma of 1893.

at 23:03 the seinfeld moment nate is thinking of is from "the puffy shirt". when jerry complains about getting pirate theme heckles. he says someone yelled "avaste ye matie" then he says "theres no comeback for that!" ...i just happened to watch that episode on netflix last night lol.

[@dolski1017able]

We need an episode on natural disasters after the tornado vs hurricane argument!

[@laurapray]

I love Justin!!! As a K-State Alumni, I love hearing him talking about our amazing tailgating skills! (But I disagree on the Chipotle thing...I gave K-State A LOT of money...I think they are doing fine and don't need anymore of my money. Bring on Chipotle Folks!)

[@tonyherrman7542]

EMAW, Folks!

[@chrisradcliffe6928]

Nate, I took my son to his first Florida Gators football game last week against your Vanderbilt Commodores. He had a blast, but as you know it was a 42-0 blowout. Towards the end my son felt so bad for Vandy that he was rooting for them to score some points. I too was thinking, please score once for Nate (because of you being a huge fan and famous athlete of that school). Oh well, we tried. Go Gators and Go Dores!

[@jakelarsen17]

Driving through South Dakota while listening to this episode and hit two deer shortly after the comment about hitting iguanas. They came out of nowhere and there was nothing I could do but break hard and hold straight. Fortunately everyone in the truck was fine. Not a pleasant experience and I imagine hitting multiple iguanas would also be pretty disgusting. Be careful on the roads folks! Love the podcast guys!

Elk City!!! My old stomping grounds!

This dude a comedian or Oklahoma historian? Class is in session YALL

[@katylynnj2443]

We loved you in Jax.

If sour patch doesn’t sponsor you they should because every time I watch this, I should be paying attention to biscuit but can’t help but want to buy sour patch. Great episode though

[@JeffManess]

As a lifelong and die-hard Oklahoma Sooner fan, Justin spoke about OSU like a true aggie. Celebrating mediocrity and convincing Nate that true Oklahoman's cheer for OSU. There is a reason OU's stadium holds 86,000 people and sells out every game and OSU's stadium holds 55,000 people. OU leads the all-time series with 90 wins vs 18 for OSU. I'm sure OSU fans celebrate the 7 ties in the series as well. Nothing like kissing your sister, right? Of course, it's not surprising that Nate said he would be an OSU fan if he lived there...he does cheer for Vandy. Thanks for the laughs again guys! Keep it going.

Andrew in that corner looking like Mini-Me!

[@erikfreie3278]

I’m surprised Bates didn’t mention anything about the book/movie “The Outsiders”...

[@joecicero6021]

I graduated in a class of 12 - yes 12- and have absolutely no interest in remembering any of them, let alone go to a reunion.

[@williamroberts5811]

I love how only Nate and the guest get any love on the video's thumbnail. 68 episodes in and Aaron and Buffy the Vampire Slayer still aren't important enough be in the picture 😂😂😂. Let's Go Folks!!!

[@kvisa82]

Hurricane Irma and we taped our windows. We didn't have shutters so 🤷‍♀️ it works in a pinch! And yeah, Aaron, you're way wrong about hurricanes being more frightening than tornadoes.

[@stephensloan1795]

Justin Smith went to Yukon High School which is the same high school Garth Brooks went to. The tornado they were talking about when Nate was in town was probably the May 20, 2013 tornado which destroyed a lot of property and killed a number of people including school children. A local singer songwriter named Mike Hotsy has a song called "Fraidy Hole" which is a funny look at how Oklahomans deal with tornadoes. The Thunder basketball team got its name from a contest where people submitted name recommendations. The Thunder can be a weather reference or a reference to a "thundering herd" of bison. I am an Oklahoman and a Nate Bargatze fan. I did not get to see him last weekend but I will catch him some other time.

[@mrmileskp]

Aaron's looking like a petite supermodel all of a sudden 🤣

[@newyorkvln]

That inevitable part of the episode where Brian throws a hissy fit because Nate doesn’t find the facts interesting… But great episode otherwise, loved Justin being a guest!!!!!

[@brianbatescomedy]

Can you give me a time stamp on where that happened?

[@newyorkvln]

@@brianbatescomedy Around 1:43:44, the vibe just got real sour for a minute haha. Sorry, “hissy fit” was too strong a description. Love the podcast!!

[@brianbatescomedy]

@@newyorkvln it was the "inevitable" part implying that I predictably will throw a "hissy fit" that got my attention. While I'm surprised you think I'm the one souring the vibe, I'll strive to keep it upbeat and light. Thanks for the feedback and loving the podcast!

[@newyorkvln]

@@brianbatescomedy Thinking more on it, what’s usually inevitable is Nate’s poo-pooing the interesting facts that you bring to the table. Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything at all haha. Sorry!

[@brianbatescomedy]

@@newyorkvln it's all good. Just want to make sure I'm doing a good job and not turning people off to the podcast.

[@jakepeterson5243]

How do you not mention that there is a town named Durant in Oklahoma and there was a petition to change the name to Westbrook after KD left the OKC Thunder. That’s classic nateland material

[@chaseschubert2973]

It's a random fact, but y'all talked about the Sooners and High School Class Sizes, so here's my fun fact for this episode: Former Oklahoma Sooner Heisman Winner Kyler Murray was from Allen High School (suburb of Dallas) where his graduating class was over 1500 students. Currently, Allen High School is easily the largest high school in the state of Texas, with about 7,000 students in grades 9-12.

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

I found Nate's college football Direct TV commercial. He didn't get to wear any Vanderbilt stuff. Did Nate have any creative input on what teams' gear he "got" to wear? I'll go proofread this now.

[@towelunderthedoor]

Gah-lee folks, I can't believe I have to jump in again. My grandfather survived being shot down in a B-17 over occupied France. He is a member of the most successful bomb group of WWII. The "bombs" they used during training were packed with minimal explosives and sand just so the crew could see where it hit to assess accuracy.

[@dylanhoyt1390]

"I was pretty confused by it, but I probably would've just moved on" after accidently reading 2 comments as a letter is the most nate bargatze thing ever.

[@KirkDePauw]

Hiring Nate, who speaks to make a living yet stumbles over words like “monitoring” as he does an add read; is like hiring the guy missing four fingers across two hands to do your home renovations. Is it the best choice, probably not, but it’s all you can afford so you make it work! Love the podcast keep up the great work!

[@jeannineashcraft5281]

Not everyone loves golf…just sayin Nate is good at writing sweet messages…awww…a redeeming quality. I heard that big *sigh* Aaron!

[@matthewparrish1740]

I feel like I’m watching present day Aaron sitting next to episode 1 Aaron….or pre-gout, and post-gout Aaron if you will.

[@aaronlangkamp2225]

My Dad has talked about building a concrete bunker vehicle for decades for storm chasing and has the means....I'll let you know if we follow through.

[@paulyaface]

How bummed was breakfast after the show since he didn't get to do the 20 minutes he had prepped on the Oklahoma city bombing?
