Hugging Breath mint at the end should become as much of a tradition as "Hello Folks"

[@FACTSHACK]

Nate hugging Breakfast at the end is the sweetest moment of this entire podcast.

[@kevenmelara227]

Died laughing when Aaron says “cricket wireless??” and he gets ripped on about it and when they try and move on with the conversation Nate goes “no, no, no” like he wasn’t just gna let that go so easily lmaoo

[@ritah8695]

I also liked that Justin insinuated that Aaron was secretly sponsored by Cricket. Aaron, playing along as if he were, gave the promo code "Aaronland". So Funny!

[@2_hotty]

I think Nate explaining old horror movies needs to be a permanent part of the podcast. That entire Jason segment was absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work, best podcast around and it’s not even close. Sidenote, I was at the Royal Oak show and you guys crushed it.

[@samh2098]

We are one of those couples that sit on the same side when we can. We also do not have our phones out unless it is something to show the other one. Sitting side by side makes it easier to have a conversation about anything since you don't have to speak loudly across the table. People watching is a breeze because one person doesn't have to turn like an owl to agree/disagree with the other's observation. Finally, we are both tall so we won't be kicking each other under the table.

[@kristinashea17]

THE HUG AT THE END. And the look at the camera! Shady Shea caught that and loved it lol. Hope you all had a great thanksgiving!

[@christopherdavis9885]

Helloooo Folks! This year, I am thankful to be back working, and having Nate, Aaron, and Buckdance as my coworkers. I am an Uber driver, and driving through the height of COVID was way too risky for me since I am built like Justin Smith. Since getting vaccinated, I am back at it. I usually drive 8-10 hours per day and Nateland pretty much plays constantly in my SUV. My riders love it as well. They usually get a few chuckles along the way and I am glad to share the goods which is Nateland. It is nice to have something other than music to listen to in the car, and I don’t have to worry about the language offending my passengers. Kudos to you guys for keeping it clean in a dirty world. Keep being a bright spot in the day of many. LET’S GOOOO FOLKS!

[@epi4561]

Nate (reading a comment): The way that Aaron and Nate both made the same movement at the same time in sheer glee and happiness for Brian, was one of the most heart-warming and beautiful moments on this podcast. Congrats Bangle Bracelet, youre gonna be a great dad. Nate: (smiling) Bangle Bracelet Aaron: You know that's a real thing, I looked it up. Nate: Oh Really? Aaron: Yeah, it's called a bangle bracelet. Nate Oh wow.. THAT is why we love this podcast. Nate, Gout-zilla, Breakfast... Keep up the great work. Also, congratulations Breakfast, on your little Breakfast Burrito.

[@zbrlvr]

I've never laughed harder than I did when these men googled "bangle bracelet" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@isaiahbarker]

It’s been 43 mins and I had check my phone to remind me what this episode is even all about! I love the flow of conversation. Keep up the great show!

[@cameron8414]

"I used to not like the Amish" - Aaron

[@Essy311]

I still don't, but I used to, too.

[@PaulAntoni0]

This is the Jason movie of podcasts: it takes almost all 2 hours to get to the topic of the episode, and viewers keep coming back to the lake knowing full well that we're gonna witness some well understood topics get murdered by undead ignorance

[@andyberry3121]

Nate saying, “I like jelly. So I think I’m fine with it becoming a parody of itself. That’s just the guy I am” was actually deeply profound. That must have gotten Aaron‘s Notre Dame undergrad philosophy bones rattling. I can totally see Nate as as adjunct professor teaching a philosophy course called Parodies of Jam 101. Love the podcast!

[@nicolaswynkoop]

"is a stroke a heart attack?" ... oh boy, here come the nurse and doctor comments in essay form

[@ms.bkaraokeb4307]

Nate just spoke words of PURE FIRE. He said "When you feel stuck, its because you're trying to grow out of it". You're expanding, getting bigger than where you are.

[@richgarc84]

You can see Nate’s passion for comedy by the way he talks about it and frequently brings up joke structure. This is why he’s one of the best and well respected by other comedians.

[@Gorillapino]

Jason comes back to life over and over. Nate: Perfectly fine with that. No questions asked. Jason goes to Manhattan. Nate: 20 minute tirade questioning how he got there and even scrutinizes a map of Crystal Lake. Still cannot believe it. Jason goes to space. Nate: That makes sense.

[@kristinashea17]

One of my favorite things is when Nate says, “Gaaaaleeee!” after something 😂 it always makes what he said 20X’s funnier. LETS GO FOLKS.

[@johnhawbaker561]

One thing I’ve noticed is Nate goes from reading comments to reading promotions, his transition is so seamless that it sounds like the promotions are just more comments. Love this podcast, with Nate, Aaron, and Brigleby it helps a slow workday go by quickly.

[@laurapray]

Justin and Breakfast are not alone! If I happen to get home, and my husband's vehicle is in the driveway, but when I come in none of my family greets me and it is super quiet...I always think it is the rapture. I am always concerned that I was left behind. Thanks Kurt Cameron!

[@danansel470]

Justin's idea of pizza for Thanksgiving is spot on. Our family is getting 2 pizzas, underbaked so we can heat them up Thanksgiving day, with gravy instead of sauce, stuffing, turkey and cranberry on it. Ill try and email a picture.

[@Sean-no3zv]

Are you also 300 pounds?

[@uxhdwgfqak]

Nate “Is a stroke a heart attack?” Bargatze 😄

[@cameron8414]

Nate talking about the relatability of a joke is spot on. When my wife and I left his show at the Opry, all the jokes we talked about were one's that we related to.

[@ritah8695]

Nate: I texted you "happy birthday" and all I got back was a thumbs up (and a "thank you", according to Aaron). Also Nate: Bypasses hugging Brian after the baby announcement to get to the Sour Patch Kids.

[@nicolaswynkoop]

How quick was Aaronland to interrupt and inject "I'm a fan" when the topic of butter came up? Too quick.

[@nicolaswynkoop]

And "Schlotzsky's Deli" an hour later, hahaha

[@NewandOldFunkoPopUnboxings]

Nate rockin' a Saginaw Spirit hockey jersey AND Justin droppin' hip hop knowledge is the content I crave.

[@leighanncarr5882]

I’m awake prepping for Thanksgiving and this upload of the podcast is going to make this early process so much better!!! Thanks the most average American Nate, Aaron the gout stout and Blinky the Barracuda 😍 Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 and Congrats on the baby on the way Blinky ❤️ I JUST saw that you guys read one of my comments on this episode!!! Thanks Blinky it made me and my daughters day!!!!

[@j.u.m.e.8537]

Catching up on precious pods while I work and just had to pause and walk away. Literally laugh crying over cricket conversation. 😂

[@j.u.m.e.8537]

I meant previous pods

[@ericanderson1753]

Obviously you keep a single stick at room temperature for spreading, and multiple sticks in the refrigerator for backup.

[@colinlippert6429]

I was watching another podcast where Nate was a guest, he said that he is still in the red financially with this podcast. I think you should start a “pass the pod” campaign, where people can find unique ways to pass on the podcast to friends, family or strangers. For example, leaving a note on a restaurant bill, or giving a present to your friend and it’s just the link to the pod on a piece of paper in a huge box

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

Has the podcast has led to fuller shows when he is on the road?

[@Sorrellcomedy]

Ymh

[@michael_birdwell]

It's hard to comment on a Friday the 13th / stand-up comedy / Thanksgiving episode. So, let's talk about the Grammy announcements instead. The whole time Nate was reading I was nervous like a dad watching his child deliver their lines in a play. I just kept wondering who helped him practice all of these words (Pakelang, Anthology, Les Miserables). Nice job on the delivery and good luck with your nomination!

[@ronpierce9034]

Honey Baked Ham now sells roasted turkey breast. It has that ham crust delicious stuff on top just like the hams. (comes sliced...and there’s one in Lebanon) Only way to eat turkey. Sides are also good. We were travelling before thanksgiving, so we went with ordered food. Delicious.

[@TimLinklater]

One of their best episodes yet.

[@MJLondn]

My fave is when people call it the Macy's Day Parade.

[@barfymann362]

50 K Subscribers, what is this - Christmas came early. Can't wait to watch Nate announce Grammy nominees as he stumbles through the different names.

[@tylerdavisjones3215]

Listening to Nate and Justin discuss the progression of comedy seems to be similar to the progression of golfing. I’m still a bad golfer but my game 5 years ago was terrible! Thanks for the laughs and sharing wisdom from years of pursuing a goal. Looking forward to seeing you in Seattle next year.

[@tannerbaldridge9127]

I can’t believe you guys had a whole episode on Thanksgiving and didn’t bring up Aaron’s halftime performance at the Cowboys game that day

[@Sleigh]

Nate talking Friday the 13th movies is great!!! I love how incredulous you are about Jason being in Manhattan!

[@matthewgriffin4885]

As someone who has wanted and tried to do comedy I could listen to Nate talk and be a yoda of comedy for hours it’s so awesome watching him mentor

[@WalkingwithWendy]

For Thanksgiving, I forced my reluctant almost adult children to watch The Sixth Sense. My son guessed it half way through but my daughter’s mind was blown. When he says, “I see dead people,” both simultaneously exclaimed, “Oh that’s where that’s from!” Now I can show them Nate’s Sixth Sense bit and my kids can appreciate it.

[@TheLaPeers]

Jelly is made from the juice of a fruit, and Jam is made from the fruit itself! That’s the difference! Probably won’t get to this, but we love you guys. Went to see Nate and Beans in south bend just a few weeks before the pandemic because our home town show was sold out (Kalamazoo). The Kalamazoo show was the night of my wife’s birthday, so we were out at a local staple (principle) and half way through we realized that we were sitting in the table next to you guys! We were determined to “play it cool” and just say thank you to you guys for everything on our way out, but by complete happenstance, beans got up to leave at the exact moment we did! I’m a photographer, so I had my camera on the table, and beans commented on it (it’s a vintage film camera). Nate must have thought we wanted a photo, because he started walking over to take a photo, only for me to panic and offer him a handshake before rushing out the door!! We still laugh all the time at the look of bewilderment on Nate’s face as we walked out. Thank you guys so much for everything you do! We’re huge fans, and as a new father myself… congrats beans!!

[@seandawson5899]

Makes me happy seeing your subscriber count get bigger every week I watch

[@debrannjohnston2796]

Cricket wireless... I literally laughed myself to tears. Had to watch Nate explain 3x

[@erinfrye6051]

Nate! My husband and I were at your Saginaw show it was awesome! It was a packed house with the game and your show-PLUS the parking ramp was closed-nothing could stop us from coming to see you-it was a birthday present that I will never forget-Erin and Jeremy Frye-Saginaw

[@barry5547]

Justin is 100% correct on Tupac. He was the first major "created and marketed" gangsta rapper

[@thrift5]

Just putting this here to remind Nate and his band of merry misfits that there's a computer on the table...all you need to do is simply Google what's the difference between jelly and jam...but then again Nateland is truly centered around guess work and that's why we're all here

[@christopherm5561]

Saw Justin in Springfield with Nate. His smart watch jokes were unbelievable!!

[@dhimmelhaver]

Breakfast waits for her to get off the elevator and as soon as the doors open he sees her and says "How far can you throw a football?!"

[@j.u.m.e.8537]

This may be my favorite episode 😂

[@AnExcuseToHangout]

Nate breaking down all the Friday the 13th movies! This is definitely a "you got your chocolate in my peanut butter" situation. Hilarious. Do Nightmare on Elm Street next.

[@thecreativechristianpod]

I’m thankful this Thanksgiving episode devoted only 30 minutes to the topic.

[@kristinashea17]

HELLO FOLKS. I’m not trying to be a stand up comedian nor have I ever tried but Nate always finds ways to inspire me to be one for an hour and a half . LETS GO FOLKS.

[@markkelly4077]

Ketchup has vinegar in it, so it can be left out. But Ketchup in the U.S does have a bunch of sugar and other stuff in it so it's more fresh if you keep it in the fridge. In the U.K and Australia most people keep it out. Also my family is a keep one butter stick out and the unopened ones in kinda family.

[@asauers11]

An hour and a half in, I didn't hear much about Thanksgiving but I did hear a lot about the Friday the 13th franchise. 5 stars!

[@davidtx8777]

Shocking!!!! Justin and Aaron like ice cream!!!

[@w.codyself957]

I’m truly just super on board with Justin as a person. I want to adopt him even though we’re the same age.

[@MrNUBBYONE]

Nothing says thanksgiving like a 20 minute synopsis of the Jason movies

[@EricStandlee]

I love your show. I listen late at night because It's the only time I have and I realized that y'all's talking is like ASMR and puts me to sleep. Y'all's podcast needs a warning: Do not consume while operating moving vehicles.

[@fabercalvo7881]

It feels like every Wednesday is taking longer than usual to get here.

[@corygayheart5713]

Justin’s idea of Thanksgiving dinner sounds like every dinner at Ricky Bobby’s house.

[@jonathangrainger6183]

I 100% agree with Justin on no commentators. I watch every football game with the volume so low that I can hear the crowd but not understand what the commentators are saying. I’ve been doing this for years and I’m happy to finally discover that there’s someone else who is the same.

[@cccc13.]

I thought that too. Chinese, Italian, German/Ireland, bbq, etc. be so good

[@MikeTerry1969]

@Aaron, I can't believe more people drink the night before Thankgiving than on New Year's Eve. Happy Thanksgiving guys!

[@rogermeyer5092]

I enjoy the podcast and the comment sharing. This week I learned that there is a comedy club in Shipshawana. And I was left with a new mystery. What cruel joke is Nate retiring because it’s trashing someone while they are not there to defend themselves. I truly hope that the confident pee-dy prisoner joke is not retired. That joke's timing, cadence and word choice is so Nate. Love your act and hope to see you again soon. We saw you in Fort Wayne in March 2020 with BlackBerry when we were still pre Covid nervous instead of shutting down. I’m going to post this and then listen from the AaronLand podcast for your response.

[@Wes_Express]

I'm the person that sent in the photo of the ketchup bottle saying to refrigerate. I feel famous and nobody even knows it was me lol!

[@dprich100]

I'm normally not a big fan of the episodes that feature guest comedians. For some reason they seem to mess up the rhythm of the show. Justin Smith is the exception and fits in seamlessly with everyone else. He's very funny and adds great content to what is already my favorite podcast.

[@trentstuart2108]

Being raised in a preacher's home the Rapture was a hot topic. One day when I was about 12 my mom hid behind the shower curtain while I was searching through the house for her calling for her in a worried voice. Finally, what felt like hours she came out from behind the curtain and she told me she was making sure my heart was right. Now I do this to all my daughters...good times

[@mattmccall8207]

The best part of this episode is Nate complaining about Jason not going to Manhattan until the end of the movie and then the topic of the entire episode isn't brought up until Breezy mentions it at the end.

[@genthba]

My mind is blown about the butter. We always threw it away if we forgot to put it away after several hours.

[@MJLondn]

I'm late to the Nateland party and stupidly am listening BACKWARDS at this point, because I heard all the new ones and I'm in too deep to reverse how I've listened. (So they're getting worse, in other words... all much better once Dusty arrives!) Anyway, I love these guys now and I've been listening nonstop for weeks now. But I'm not particularly interested in the ins and outs of being a comedian, and there is a LOT about that in these. A LOT of Nate rants about being a comedian, that go on and on and on. I wonder how many of their listeners are aspiring comedians or have quite this much interest in that particular topic that is given so much time. I feel they'd do better to spend less time on that, even though obviously it's their world. It's not most of our world, though.

[@BA-tl4ju]

Hello Folks, and welcome to AdLand

[@adrien10288]

I just want to expand on the butter in the fridge vs. butter left out debate. When Bulletin Board said you can’t leave butter out because it’s a dairy product, he was somewhat incorrect. The truth is that SALTED butter can be left out at room temperature as the salt helps preserve its freshness. Unsalted butter, however, will need to be refrigerated or it will spoil much like any other dairy product. Source: I eat a lot of butter.

[@jessepope]

If it’s salted butter, it will last longer at room temperature. If it’s unsalted, keep it in your fridge (and off your bread)

[@therobertharte]

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. All the best food and it lands on my birthday every seven years. And I had to wait an hour and a half before it is even mentioned, and then quickly dismissed.

[@allisonmcleod2860]

Look up the La Creusette Butter Crock. This is a good way to store butter on the counter.

[@dprich100]

I'm like Nate. My wife always buys Neopolitan Ice Cream, I always eat the Chocolate and Vanilla, and she always gets mad at me. The other day my 6 year old grandson Micah came over, my wife asked him if he wanted some ice cream, and when she opened up the box there was only strawberry left. Micah chirped out "I see grandad has been in the ice cream again!"

[@abbytilford9419]

At thanksgiving dinner my 15 year old nephew was wearing rubber bands on his wrists. It looks just as stupid in person as I thought it would.

[@richgarc84]

Nate should watch the Red Letter Media’s Re:View series on the Friday the 13th movies. They do such an entertaining breakdown of the series.

[@natenlk18]

You know… I was raised on refrigerated margarine (butter was a luxury), but when I started living with my girlfriend, I took one look at the butter being left out in a container on the counter, soft and always ready to easily spread, and I thought- “that makes sense.” Never turned back. Highly recommend leaving butter out. Life changing.

[@r.zachhowell1009]

I would like to point out that Nate referenced traditional American home cooked food as “fancy food”.

[@cameronm9090]

Hey don’t laugh at Aaron for the Cricket wireless vs the sport. He is just plugging his Aaronland podcast sponsors.

[@trevorcarmack2338]

Nate! I asked my boss how his thanksgiving was. He replied “it was good. We ate a lot of seafood and… have you ever had gout? Nah you’re too young to have gout. Anyways, It was a rough night.” I said “yeah I haven’t had gout but I know someone who has.”

[@jayturn2468]

salted butter can be left at room temperature for a few days, unsalted butter will go bad when left out. ketchup when left out long enough, has a tendency to explode when the cap is opened, however if you're going through as much as Nate has implied he does, then its fine to be left in the cupboard. I literally love you all so much but I hope nobody seriously takes food safety advice from nateland

It was nice of Justin to dress up like Yukon Cornelius to get ready for the Christmas season.

[@Wes_Express]

I just heard Aaron say "So I'm in Amish country and there's Amish people everywhere!"

[@apatternedhorizon]

Do the Halloween series with Nate next How does crystal lake lead directly to the ocean with waterways big enough to allow a cruise ship through? No one knows. He does get there on the boat though.

[@Wes_Express]

Grown men that don't know the difference in jelly and jam? Come on gentleman!

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

This episode is the opposite of a Thanksgiving dinner. The content about Thanksgiving (The Turkey) really carried the day while the discussion after the comments (side dishes) did not have the same shine. The comments (dinner rolls) were great as always. Aaron would probably hypothesize that comments taste even better with butter. I'll go proofread this now.
