Nateland | Ep #8 - Marriage

[@justforfun19781900]

My dad is a pastor who has performed a lot of weddings over the years, and he frequently uses this line during the ceremony to much laughter: "Marriage is two people working together to solve problems that they never would have had if they had just stayed single." Love the show!

[@UltimateHockeyGamer]

I love when they laugh at Brian when he’s trying to be serious and they don’t laugh when Brian is trying to make a joke, I love Brian

[@brianwalker7641]

I love how Brian receives all of Nate's mocking with a goofy smile and then gladly offers up even more information for Nate to use against him. It's like his low-key way of proving he's really the one in control.

[@brittanylight2629]

Spoken like a true Brian.

[@holesauce3303]

nate somehow managed to twist the phrase “contrary to popular belief” to “popular to disbelief” and i’m not sure he can ever recover from that

[@thomasabebe123]

That was hilarious! I also love how Aaron instantly recognized Nate's mistake but just laughed it off, rather than calling it out. I love these guys.

[@austin23idontknow]

This is what I'm talking about, an episode long enough to get me through 1/4 of my work day

[@burlingo]

Totally agree! For me, it's my work commute. Average commute in the US is an hour, I think. So AT LEAST 2 hours is needed 🤩👍

[@Dilkman33]

Nate: "I hate rings and wearing rings" Also Nate: "I wore fashionable rubberbands on my wrists for 20 years"

[@Itsme-jl9rv]

Hahahahahahahha!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@ChrisP-ex4ml]

can you have a portion of the podcast dedicated to asking Laura questions from the other room?

[@dillonritchie]

I want Nate to be my accountant...”you have $8,500 in your account, that’s like 8 times $1000 plus 5 more 100 dollar bills, so ya, that’s how much money you have”

[@acehier2310]

You guys should have Laura actually sit in for an episode. Then she can fact check anything Nate says about their life. Plus, it would just be a lot of fun I think!

[@WalkingwithWendy]

“Everything I have, my wife’s earned.” That’s profound and very nice.

[@barfymann362]

"What's your source on that?", has become my favourite response to conversations I don't wish to engage in. It's wonderful, just keep repeating "What's your source on that?" - it drives people up the wall.

[@cookiemonster2208]

Love hearing Nate call out for Laura to answer questions regarding their history. Please make it a regular segment where you ask him personal questions and he has to call out to Laura for the answer.

[@jpmultimedia7207]

I was in a relationship for 7 years. I thought I was going to marry this woman and I didn't work out. It's strange now at 35 I didn't see marriage and having kids a possibility. After watching this episode it seems possible again for some reason. This show helps pass the time at work! Please keep making these shows you guys are awesome!

[@AABrawn]

Nate & Aaron jump in the getaway car and yell “Go! Go! Go!” But Brian has lost the keys to the car in the lining of his shorts lol

[@wootangclan32]

That Cincinnati show WAS awesome. My wife and I went to that show to celebrate our anniversary and saw that huge bus outside, and I said to my wife "wow, he must be really banking after that Netflix special". We're both big fans. Keep up the great work!

[@gorkmusic]

My 3 favorite Nate Expressions: 1) Well, that's fun. Let's do something fun. 2) He gets it. She gets it. They get it. 3) I've never been a _____ guy. Are you a ____ guy?

[@GordiHappy]

"I feel like I'm reading pretty good today" lmao. Love you guys! My favorite podcast.

[@mrlandscapellc1131]

I love how the boys just complement your reading when it took you 30 seconds to say the word portend and you didn’t think it was a word. Too funny.

[@christopherscroggin1236]

Nate's rants were on POINT today. I appreciate your thoughts on having kids. Well said.

[@USAFMaster1]

Hey guys, I drive a semi and Ive caught up the podcasts in about 2 days and its fantastic. I need more Nate Bargatze specials and more podcasts keep it up!

[@TheChampion145]

I've been watching from the beginning, and i love it all. I also love the continuity of the heist driver joke!

[@jameshirt7689]

Dang Nate you went off didn't you? Using words like furious and pompous and thrive. I never saw this side of you, getting all excited. I love it. Keep doing it y'all.

[@janabele8100]

Love Brian. He’s so funny and kind and calm. Keep doing you.

[@scott.schultz.4385]

I love how at the end of every episode Nate says how its too long and every week the episodes get longer and longer. Not mad about it though. I could listen to these guys all day

[@tuna8570]

I don't have many things with cinnamonal value either.

[@tannermaxwell1719]

Makes you wonder how many sticks of cinnamon would that be worth today?

[@bjmaxwell]

Sounds like we need a Lauraland podcast. She seems to be the one carrying this whole operation.

[@deepthought1987]

I'm LOVING the new red background thumbnails that help differentiate between clips and full episodes. Love you guys!

[@10k4ci4]

A part of me cries inside every time you make fun of Bob. He's such a good guy you can tell! I remember him opening for Nate in Kalamazoo, MI back on 2/29 this year. I still laugh when I think of his joke about taking a self defense class at church and becoming a fighter and the announcer announces his enterence "from the Church of Christ!!" More Love for BRIAN!

[@robbieg4700]

guys you have great chemistry and balance. I'm sure most realize the heckling of one another is the stuff we did sitting around in our basements in high school. which is part of what makes the show killer. Brendon, you are integral. yes, Nate real word that means necessary, to the show. it wouldn't be the same without all of you.

[@nikbrownell]

I was worried people who can't read would be offended by Nate saying 75% of them are bank robbers, but then I realized they have no way of writing their complaints to you. Well done!

[@jordanr1860]

Nate @ 1:14:40 “You’re the worst person alive.” Nate @ 1:15:05 (25 seconds later) “I don’t think you should ever say anything that makes someone else feel bad.” LOL. I agree with both statements!

[@patrickeversole6530]

Nate making the point that 2020 is better than any other time to live would trigger a lot of people! Rant complete! Good work. I also think it's great how young people don't have to go to war, don't have to worry about age expectancy being like 40 , or I don't know BEING CONQUERED!? They're too busy on social media posting about how terrible the world on their IPHONEs that their parents bought them while living in the apartment they don't pay for!

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

Great episode about marriage. My wife and I got married when I was 20 and she was 19. 11 years and 3 kids later we are still loving the most pit. Growing closer to God is the best way to grow closer together. Although, I agree with Nate, the Amazing Race with my wife would be hard. We are bad at putting furniture together. I am glad we survived my daughter's new bunkbed. My pastor brother jokes that he should have engaged couples put together a dressee from IKEA in front of him as part of premarriage counseling.

[@johncarnett2465]

The best part of this podcast has got to be that all of the things Nate is supposed to know, he doesn't, and he just immediately yells to laura off-camera and that's probably the greatest metaphor for marriage.

[@benbryant1925]

Great episode. I especially liked hearing Nate's story about someone literally stealing his material. I immediately pictured him walking in the a comedy club and seeing some random dude on stage saying "Have you ever been yelled out by a clown?" and Nate going "I have, this is amazing." It was a good laugh this morning. Keep up the great work Nate, Aaron and Geoffrey!

[@jackstein5688]

I am from Warsaw Indiana, right between Ball State and Notre Dame. Love the podcast, just wanted to say that Ball State kicks Notre Dame’s ass in the all important party scene. Keep the laughs coming!

I feel bad for the way everyone treats poor Bryson.

[@richardgarcia1184]

I love the Seinfeld references!

[@WalkingwithWendy]

That’s how you know they’re really funny.

[@mrwalsworth]

Never been much of a Podcast guy but I love Nate so I listened to a couple of the most recent episodes and decided I needed to start from the beginning. I'm just on episode 8, but Far away my favorite so far. Can't wait to see him live in Grand Rapids in October.

[@skaggsywaggsy2723]

Nate is a languid loquacious person. (Just wanted to add words that Nate would have to question if they were real words or not). Love the podcast. Byron and Aaron, glad I was introduced to you. Look forward to this every week.

[@tylerlittle4961]

I’m 23 and my fiancé is 25 and we’re getting married in September of 2020, we’ve been together for 7 years and have never shared a bank account and probably never will, I am in charge of making sure the bills get paid all she has to pay is half of our mortgage and her car and insurance I pay the rest but I have no clue how much money she has in my account and viseversa we’ve never fought about what one another spends their own money on as long and we have enough for the bills. My dad is 48 and think that it’s an insane way to manage money but it’s never been a fight so why change it. Enjoy the podcast you’re hilarious and Aaron and Brendan are great co host and equally as funny.

[@taradutle5839]

I do think that's what meatloaf was singing about. He would do anything for love but he won't do that - share a bank account.

I love B Rad’s face when Nate comments about putting someone down... HILARIOUS!

[@elchad5785]

I've been listening on spotify since ep. 1 but this is my first time actually watching and Blake's face is about what you expect when you hear his voice. Kind of looks like a middle school counselor or vice principal. Love the show! S/N when I was in high school we wore shorts under pants in case we did something dimb and they were looking for the ones responsible, we didn't fit the description. Keep up the great work 👍

[@codybourque337]

Love Nate's multiple Seinfeld deep-cut references, probably the influence that makes me love Nate's stand-up. He dives deep into the details of things that we don't think about but we notice. Just like the genius of Seinfeld. The original iced milk joke was one of those that would have made me pull over from laughing, thankfully i was on my couch knuckle-deep in a bag of flamin hot cheetos. Now that I think of it, Nate has a multiple milk-related jokes. "Nate Bargatze, for fans of Seinfeld, milk, and conflicts in marriage."

[@mathdcarter]

I love the full on Nate rant at 1:11. I love the passion. It would be so easy to label Nate as just this simple guy who doesn't care. Thanks for saying what you really think. #Naterant #Rantland #Rantlandia

[@kentscroggins4982]

I feel like y’all would make the best trivia team! Bates and Weber looking at each other then back at Nate, unsure Nates correct, but saying (like in Family Feud) Good Answer! Good Answer! I 😂😂. Love the podcast guys, keep it up.

[@dr.v5366]

Hats off to Laura! A smart grounded woman who married because if the potential she saw in her man and being so secure to let Nate go on tour sans wedding band....cause he is a first class, old school, real and really funny man! Nice work you two!

[@lainiemac8]

i love these podcasts. i laugh, hearing the guys laughing at each other. i love it. But i think my favorite part, besides just being able to be a 'fly on the wall' for these conversations - i love all the Seinfeld and The Office references. I am almost always thinking the same thing when you guys say them. I love those shows too. There are so many times that i reference those shows, as well as comic standup stuff, in my life - and i just get crickets. so i appreciate that so much when others do it. thanks :)

[@ryanbush942]

Nate's got orange hands... Brian's nose is red...Aaron needs to step his game up.

[@georgiechadwick2124]

Love the podcast and big fan of all of you! I liked Nates sentiment towards marriage. I think its here to stay. Also LOVE all the Seinfeld references along with the Office. You guys should discuss those shows in a future episode. Thanks for the laughs

[@calebthomas7948]

Love the show, laughing every episode!

[@colleenla40]

This podcast is the best part of every Wednesday.

[@burlingo]

Fun hearing about Nate's courtship. Can hear more from the other two guys sometime, please?

[@MEllis-ye6ro]

The look on Brian's face when you guys said you loved the idea of calling him different names, is so funny. True unapproval and disappointment. I am so happy to see the number of subscribers has gone up so fast. I remember when it was only 300 or so. Great work everyone.

[@FIN__tvv]

I hear you say the podcasts are too long, I say they’re not long enough. Please keep them coming!

[@chase_newman]

Can you guys make this into a Mon-Fri radio show type thing?? I mean, what else are you former comedians doing anyway? I need more!

[@nickhirka327]

I can’t believe you guys brought a podcast into this world.

[@laurahawkins4703]

I would like to know how none of you have never seen The Santa Clause. In my eyes it's a must watch every year.(Nate, you should watch it with your daughter) Loving the show, look forward to it every Wednesday. Saw you guys when you were in Knoxville this year. My face hurt from laughing. Keep it up!

[@fakebuttz2994]

I have struggled with insomnia for as long as I can remember. I tried everything, medicine, homeopathic remedies, everything. Finally, the southern ramblings of the boring thumb, truck stop cook, and cheeto hands has solved my sleeping problem forever! ... I’m just kidding, I love you guys, keep it up!

[@cbailey4322]

Having enjoyed Nate’s comedy for a few years and his easy going way of speaking I often wondered if anything ever bothers him. I go on many rants so to see him go on rants every week makes me feel a kinship. He gets it too. I do like hearing more now from Aaron and Brian. Have to admit that working in the medical field I start the podcast hoping y’all won’t be talking about medical subjects because when you do.....🤦‍♀️. Wednesdays are better because of Nateland. Thanks all of you!

[@liaisabella8451]

Another great episode. Love the podcast, you guys!

[@jenlisageib6087]

Love the show! Just wanted to let y’all know there’s a broken website link for this podcast that’s on the iPhone Apple podcast app. I did my 5 star rating for this podcast & just out of curiosity clicked on the link under “Show Website” (in the Apple podcast app). Also, it was weird that when I searched “Nate Bargatze” on my iPhone’s iTunes app, this podcast didn’t come up among the search results (the results did have podcast episodes that Nate’s been a guest on, but not the Nateland podcast) [in Apple’s iTunes phone app]. I only mention these things because I want everyone in the world to discover the joy & laughter this podcast bring to everyday life. It’s truly my favorite podcast of all time! Keep up the great work!

Finding out Brian has a C-pap is not as surprising as it should be

Growing up in Florida, my dad used to take me to all spring training games every year. I was also a huge braves fan. Ryan Klesko’s rookie year, I was four or five and my dad and I stood in line to get an autograph before the game. By the time we got up to the front of the line, he had amassed a circle of beautiful girls fawning over him. Completely in his own ego. When it was my turn to meet him the only thing I asked him was if he knew Sid Bream. As a child I utterly embarrassed the hot shot rookie. I don’t know. I wonder if he thinks about that ever. Big fan of the show. Appreciate the fun, gents.

[@Loop-chanO]

1:48:00 the comedian is Louis CK. That joke is great, it ends with the guy in paradise telling something like: "You meant to be the love of my life not the love of my death"

Who would have thought that just listening to Nate read names, both domestic and international, would be so entertaining. He should incorporate that into his act.

We planned our wedding around a sporting event. My wife wanted a Fall wedding. I told her any month of the year except October. Huge baseball/dodgers fan and in 2016 a World Series possibility was a serious possibility. Born in ‘91 I’ve never seen them win one. So November 3rd it was. They didn’t make it but at least i got to watch a decent playoff run and the Cubs end they’re curse. Cheers to Nate, Aaron and Brandon!

[@christophc11]

I think what Aaron was going to say, before Nate was set off, was that some people argue that having children is selfish because of the idea that a person thinks that the world needs another version of them (someone with their DNA/mini-me) when there are children in orphanages around the world that need loving parents. It's not that the world doesn't need children but that the world need THEIR children.

[@skaggsywaggsy2723]

This.

[@Creativefunnyname]

100%. And it is. Same with buying a dog from a breeder when tons are currently in cages and are going to be put down because people would rather go get some purebred (inbred) dog. And we are overpopulated in the sense that it isn't currently feasible to go live in those unpopulated areas. It can be done, but it's really difficult. Until we figure out how to spread out in an economically positive way, I think we can count ourselves as overpopulated and having kids adds to the issue. You can "just not want them" and still see that these things are true as well.

[@kylerpool7139]

Couldn't agree more.

[@kristinaweinheimer8834]

Hey guys!! I don't know if it's too late to comment on this but wanted to put in my two cents. I got married at 21 in 2007. My husband was 23. I wanted to comment because I don't think there is a "right" age to get married. It depends more on the mind set, values and goals of two people rather than age, where you're from etc. I finished school 2yrs AFTER we were married and finished my master's degree 3yrs after that. We had our first baby after 5yrs of marriage. People can get married at 21 and regret it forever. People can also get married at 35 or 40 and regret it forever. You can also pass up a good match because others say you are too young then "married the one your with" at an older age because you think time is slipping by. ANYWAY just saying there is no "right or wrong" age, just depends on the two people involved. Also we love your comedy and this podcast! We saw you live at the small Cap City comedy club in Austin then at the Paramount Theater in Austin about a year later. Can't wait to see you again!

I love everyone one of you guys. I binged Nate’s standup a few weeks ago and came up on the podcast. I think it’s hilarious so I’ve started from #1 and am listening to one or 2 a night. It’s funny and it’s clean and positive except when Nate is ragging on Brian. Lol. Im hoping his control issues ease up over the next two years of podcasts I have to listen to. 😂. And I hope Brian sticks it out. Lol. I am glad that you’ve let up on Aaron’s weight so there’s something. Lol.

I am 44 years old and my wife and I have a 6 year old bobcat and a 3 year old princess. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I look out my kitchen window to my neighbors who have 5 kids, the oldest of which is 5 years old….. they have 2 sets of twins!

[@andrewchevrier]

I wear two wedding rings, because I lost one of them, went back to the jeweller, had an identical one made, and later found the one that was lost. I later lost the new one as well, and found it again. The stories of losing and finding both of those rings were pretty interesting. After a winter storm, we were going shopping. There were a couple of ice blocks that the snow plow had left in front of the driveway. I wasn’t wearing gloves and just threw them out of the way. I later realized that the ring flew off my cold, wet hand, but didn’t feel it at the time. We were in a store and I was going through a large barrel of fake plastic fruit, looking for a fake plastic grapefruit, when I realized the ring was gone. I thought I had lost it in the barrel of fake plastic fruit, and panicked, and proceeded to empty out the barrel of fake plastic fruit on the floor. It wasn’t there. The cashier asked me if I wanted to leave my phone number with them, but that if anyone were to find it, they’d probably just sell it to a pawn shop. Fast forward to spring, and the snow had melted. I searched all over the lawn, and the driveway, as I thought maybe I had lost it while throwing that ice block. But it wasn’t there. A week later, my grandmother had just passed away, I was practicing the violin, as my grandmother’s dying wish was that I play « Danny Boy » at her funeral. My uncle rang my doorbell but I couldn’t hear him. When I was leaving the house, I saw a plastic bag on my doorknob, and a note saying « I was wondering if you wanted to play tennis, but I guess you’re not home. I found this ring in your driveway, is it yours? ». And there it was. In the meantime, I had had another ring made, it was tighter and I was less worried about losing it. I had brought my daughter to the doctor’s for a checkup, and on the way back, started to smell diarrhea. I was worried the car seat would be a crime scene when I got back home, so I stopped into a gas station to change her. I frantically changed her in the men’s bathroom, which, of course, had no change table. I threw away the diaper in the garbage. When I got home, I realized my ring was missing. I called the gas station and asked them to look in the bathroom, but stopped short of asking them to go through the garbage can (where I figured it might have been). At least I still had my original ring though, so I wasn’t as panicked. A few months later, I was going to town hall at about 10:30, to hand in some forms for a house I was building. These forms were really complicated. « What kind of septic tank are you using? » « I don’t know...Nike? ». « Draw the septic tank ».. »Wait, there’s an art portion to this test? ». I had only completed about 25% of the 8 page document, and wasn’t sure they’d accept it. I get to the office, and the receptionist tells me that Garry, the planning department supervisor, is on lunch break (It was 10:30?), and that he’ll be back in a couple of hours. I return to my car, dejected...I open the car door, and see, on my daughter’s car seat, there’s my ring, resting there like in an oversized ring box. I had put my daughter in and out of that car seat twice a day for the last 3 months, and never noticed it, but here was the ring. I put the ring on my right hand, and found the spirit to fill out those building forms as best as I could. I got about 51% of the questions done, which I could then justify as having filled out « most of the questions », by the time Garry returned from his lunch break, two hours later. When I got home, I asked my wife if my two rings looked cool. She said, « You look like a guy who lost his ring, had another one made, then found the one he lost, and now wears the two wedding rings ».

We have been married 44 years and made a conscious decision to never have children, Nate. There is mental illness, drug addiction and alcoholism in my husband's family, and we did not want to pass those traits on. It is not selfish...it's responsible and has obviously worked for us.

Let’s end this BLOCKBUSTER debate. There is a blockbuster in Italy along with Bend, OR. ULTIMATE SOURCE: Chris Ergen, my buddy who’s family business is Dish Network / EchoStar / Sling TV / Boost mobile. Chris bought the Blockbuster Corporation out of bankruptcy. I called Chris and asked about the last store and he told me it is in Italy. The takeaway: it turns out the Italy blockbuster is a knockoff called blockbuster village so the actual owner doesn’t know the last location. It sounds like Bend, Oregon is the last one. Also love the Seinfeld drops. You guys keep killing it!

Love your podcast! Would have commented earlier because I’ve been listening since the beginning but I’ve been listening on Spotify and I don’t know where to comment. Anyways great job! Regarding adoption I think the only the only time you are allowed to say “I don’t want to bring kids into the world” is if you adopt! There are so many kids across the world that need homes and I think that’s the only excuse to say that.

"Just dating" as a scapegoat to getting out of division of property would work if the other person didn't wish to make an argument for common law marriage. Which in some states simply requires something as simply as sharing the same residence as a couple for a certain amount of time.

[@Maximum_Goodness]

When discussing the individual vs joint accounts once married, My mom and step dad are both 61 and have a joint accounts but in the past when she goes on a trip for work she would tend to come home to a new purchase - once a brand new truck, another time a zero turn mower, another time a golf cart. He’d try to sell it to her as it was something they both needed or would benefit from. Until his current job he also changed jobs every 2 years or so for his entire life - the guy that anything you talk about has a story when he “worked at this one place”. She has worked the same government job for about 30 years and has a pension and a deferred Comp (retirement plan). For the past 2 years he keeps asking when he can retire. Her reply is that SHE will be retiring in a couple years but HE has zero retirement.

I think there should be a new segment called "Nate's New Word" where the guys highlight the new word Nate learned during that episode. My husband and I were lucky enough to see Brian and Nate in Knoxville back in January and we have been enjoying the podcast together while we work from home.

I may be a couple of episodes behind, but speaking of COVID and smoking, the following is a true story (according to reliable sources): Because of the COVID lockdown of a nursing home, a daughter of a resident asked her Mom what supplies/groceries she might leave at the desk of the nursing home. The Mom, a 94- year-old Southern genteel lady, asked for a pack of cigarettes along with the usual supplies. The surprised daughter asked her Mom if she had taken up smoking. Her Mom replied that only smokers in the nursing home are allowed to go outside to the courtyard. Therefore, a few residents, who never smoked before have devised this scheme and are able to go outside and light up cigarettes and pretend to smoke. What a strange time! 😊 Love the podcast! Thanks for the laughs every week!
