Nateland | Ep #80 - Baseball, Sonny Gray & Intern Cole

[@nbmagnolia]

Let’s keep this 2hr+ trend rollin!

[@harmonyfem]

This podcast with Sonny is the most fun Nate has had in all of the podcasts. And that made it really fun to watch.

[@bradencarroll1321]

Nate learning at the same time as his podcast's national audience that his good friend might have MS is exactly what makes guy friendships so special

[@lukelooman9228]

You should do a special episode where Cole walks Nate through the college application process so we can see his maximum level of confusion.

[@deepthought1987]

the fafsa 😳

[@hannahjoyed]

Perfect idea

[@michellerobinson5061]

Cole: "It's a smart thing. I guess you wouldn't get it." Nice! I think Nate missed that entirely. Cole, hanging with the big boys and holding his own. Nice work young man! Can't wait for the big reveal. I have a daughter applying to University as well. Exciting time! Good luck. Dream big!!

[@michellerobinson5061]

...and the Liza "conversation"..just precious! Nate, when you pointed to the camera..this podcast is just too much fun!

[@gigglyme2001]

I only like it when Nate, Brian and Aaron goof on each other (maybe Nik when he’s on). Something about when a guest tries to do it makes me like hey watch it, buddy! Lol. Like when Jay Cutler was on he was kinda a dick to Aaron but thought he was being funny. I realize I’m a little soft though lol.

[@folklandpodcast]

As a former college baseball player, I loved having Sonny Gray on here. He’s on my fantasy baseball team, so it was great to hear how he’d be fine CHEATING WITH PINE TAR! Love this episode, love this podcast, keep it up, Folks!

[@TimLinklater]

Great podcast. I love how they treat Sonny just like any other guy- no celebrity treatment whatsoever. As grounded as it gets. Then a flashback story from BoingBoing's stealing 2B back to 1B had me laughing just as hard as when I first heard it. 5K = 5000 mile race. 😂 it barely got noticed but I loved that too Nate! Awesome episode guys!

[@Marina-zs4zz]

“Y’all talk about aliens in school?” 😂

[@osufan90]

Hope we keep this dude forever. The only pitcher I made sure to watch last season.

[@PODOODZ]

The attempt of Nate and Bryan having a audible exchange with Cole could be compared to Coles parents asking him about his day. Topic to topic that are not related in the slightest. I appreciate this show so much. Let's keep rambling fellas.

[@wall1955]

Hope Aaron will be OK . Cole did a great job filling in for him and Sonny Gray did a great job with all of the Baseball talk . Nate I have been a type II diabetic for a long while (I am 66) just eat smart . No need to go off the food no eat deep end . You work in a world of strange eating times and that is what you have to look at . I think you will be fine most people panic and talk when they should be quiet . Saw you guys in Columbus my wife laughed so hard thanks

[@michaelreynolds4779]

Tried to get my 21 year old daughter to listen, she told me not her type of humor. Today, I was going to get coffee and she asked for Ice coffee with milk. I get home she said dad, how long would it take you to get down to 165 lbs? It hit me when I told my wife there was a coupon for milk in the paper and my daughter yelled “way to go Lady Bargatze” that she has been listening to the pod as well as all the specials! I yelled back “Hello Folks” which she responded “let’s go folks”. My wife rolled her eyes and left. We both wish for speedy recovery for Aaron, healthy news for Breakfast, Mrs. Breakfast and baby break, and No diabetes for Nate and family!

[@irmazandl]

Fabulous podcast tonight. Sonny Gray is terrific. Also great to see Nate having such a great time on this podcast.

[@angie7164]

Nates take on Hallmark has started off my new year in the best way possible. Puh-lleeaaasseeee next Christmas, can we have a Hallmark Christmas movie episode? Maybe have Lacy Chabert be the guest? I'm sure there are so many facts you could discuss.

[@Essy311]

I agree. Super wholesome and just overall very sweet that he not only admitted to getting sucked into the movies, but also had no shame about finding them comforting.

[@jpressleybarr]

I love how MTSU includes the directions to the school in the name of the school, just to help us out.

[@trogdor1010]

Nothing is better than getting a Hertz ad before this podcast and their slogan being “Let’s Go!”

[@charlieriddle3663]

The fact that Nate's 18 year old nephew is able to consistently come up with topics that Bauble Bearer is excited to bring up is befuddling! It would be funny to see Baseball try and come up with topics for Cole to be excited about. i'll bet Nate feels beleaguered while balbutiating through these comments. Love the show guys keep up the good work! P.S. I once saw Aaron feature for an audience of about 12 on a Wednesday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and it was my favorite comedy show ive ever been to.

[@CornTube70]

Hello folks. After seeing Nate in September in Hershey with Nick and Mike, been catching up listening to Nateland every day at my desk while working. I'm up to episode 33 and keep bulleting through no matter how boring it gets. Can't miss a single episode of Nate, Aaron, and Hershey. Compelled to comment this morning so adding to the current episode chat, major condolences over the death of Bob Saget. I just turned 50 and up until today, Nateland was my only podcast. Today, I'm listening to Bob Saget's Here for You with special guest Nate Bargatze. Underrated legend ...both Saget and Nate. Keep up the good work guys. Peace.

[@danielalt6958]

Hey Nate, Brittle, and Aaron, Would y’all ever consider playing around of golf the 3 of ya and a guest or whatever mic’ed up and essentially do the podcast while playing a round of golf?

[@brittanysawyer9143]

It was so crazy hearing y’all talk about my hometown, Midland Texas! Nate is absolutely right that it’s a crazy windy boom/bust town and Sonny was spot on that there’s nothing there but tumbleweeds and pump jacks. The best part of living there was the day we moved away! Well, that and the Mexican food.

[@rhonda29wade]

I’m going through all the episodes AGAIN… because I love you all & this podcast!! But it’s time to speak out on what all of us folks are witnessing!! Bubby’s super sad eyes when Nate acts unimpressed by every topic that we know he approved!? Aarons conversion into an enabler- with his “that’s fair” comment at every turn. And Nate, …. Who hurt you man?? I envision you taking their lunch money… but not being so bad that you aren’t willing to give them some change back. … Sadly, this all works for me. 🤪 Thanks for the entertainment! LET’S GOOO!!

[@williamroberts5811]

I played ball for 14 years and have been watching Sonny's career since he was in NY. This was a cool mix of two things I love! Baseball and Nateland. It's cool that they touched on the lockout too. I was hoping it got brought up!

[@barfymann362]

The podcast where most of the running time is spent Nate trying to get through the comments. Love ya'll, Happy New Year to the folks.

[@davidtaylor3539]

Well after 6 months I have finally caught up and I am current on the episodes. Love listening to pass the time while at work or wasting time I should be using working on my undergraduate studies. Love the podcast and am looking forward to seeing Nate in Kansas City later this month!

[@gregorydunn6143]

I like Intern Cole's philosophy of whether he should do something or not. "That sounds fun" "That doesn't sound fun" Maybe we should all adopt a philosophy like intern cole.

[@thecreativechristianpod]

Makes life simple.

[@shan3272-m2d]

Nate was so so good on Fallon last night! Loved that he shouted out the folks too! I first found Nate through the Late Show years ago and it's been so amazing to watch the growth and see everyone else fall in love with your comedy. So excited to see you in March in Sacramento! Fun fact the tickets I bought for your show were a gift for my nephew's 18th birthday in 2020, and we will finally get to see you this year when he is almost 20! I can't wait for him to be able to see you live.

[@cynthiafrazier7767]

You are my people! My hubs and I critiqued Hallmark movies all weekend. See you in Cincy! Can't wait.

[@arealoldname8461]

My dad will spend an entire mealtime questioning the choices a Hallmark character made in a movie. ^_^ He gets so frustrated :D

[@cbailey4322]

It was nice to hear perspective and stories of a MLB player besides the same old questions asked on the field and post game locker room.

[@teufel7627]

From your childhood friend Taylor. Love watching your vids! So happy for your success..wish you and your family the best!!

[@salvydelacrack4155]

I loved Sonny Gray when he played for the A's. Awesome to hear him on this. 👍

[@alexhutchings4815]

I played baseball for 12 years ended with just one home run, off of a bunt. Runners on 1st and 3rd with a whole lot of mistakes from the other team trying to throw people out and over throwing the ball. Love the podcast Nate and Brian, and hope you feel Better soon Aaron.

[@osufan90]

Wouldn't that just be an er

[@michaelvisy985]

Every time Baby Daddy says “neurologist,” it sounds like “urologist,” and I’m like, “What kind of urologist is he going to?!” 🤣🤣 We are praying for him though (in more ways than one)!

[@_sowhat_]

Yep on both accounts! 🙏🏻🕊

[@RagingAcid]

Thank you for the podcast Nathan

[@seandawson5899]

Oh man! I remember Sonny when he was a young stud on the A's! I've literally watched him play dozens of times! One of Vanderbilts finest!

[@stucat9560]

Reds Hall Of Fame is open year round too there, Great place to visit!

[@morgan0179]

Hallmark Christmas Movies!!!! My wife and I watch them every year! It's one of the things we look forward to for all the reasons Nate mentioned, but they're so predictable! I even downloaded a Hallmark movie tracking app so we could check off our list. After we watched all the 2021 Christmas Movies, we went back and watched some of the series of movies. I.e. Christmas at Graceland, and Christmas in Evergreen. Things like the car in the middle of the road in the Christmas in Evergreen movies drove us nuts! Among other things like fake snow, the dad constantly tinkering with the Christmas decorations on the house (who does that), tree lighting "events." Never understood that tradition...

[@angie7164]

I need to know that app. The fake snow and random bows placed everywhere. Who puts a dollar tree bow in a multi million dollar Corp building? Know who? Hallmark!

[@jasonlochen8658]

Love the longer episode! Watching the video of Sonny "scooting" was hilarious and reminded me of when Steve Lyons unbuttoned his pants standing on first base. If you haven't seen it, look it up. GREAT show, keep up the great work! (And if Nate reads this, last name is "LOCK-in". LOL!!!

[@joejaroslaw527]

Bummer No AaronLand today cause this episode was the best.

[@joshreeves609]

Nate you killed it on Fallon! You make it look so easy. Reminded me of Rickles on Carson in KZbin clips.. I’m same age as you… didn’t see it live like Breakfast. Great to see your continued success. Let’s Go Folks!!

[@nicolejonas9792]

My husband and I had a good laugh at the fact that Nate likes Hallmark movies! My mom LOVES Hallmark movies, and my husband always gives her grief about how they are so predictable (and the fact that she messes up the algorithm for the Netflix account 😂 and it always suggests he’d want to watch them). He’s convinced that Nate only likes them because they are a good place to find humorous content, not for the actual movies themselves… is this true? I think he’ll be disappointed (and I’ll laugh) if Nate does indeed like Hallmark movies for the story itself!! Thanks for all the laughs guys 😊 we listened to you during our whole road trip from Wisconsin to Florida (and back) over CHRISTmas break. Even the teenagers enjoyed it!

[@choneychamberz5651]

I uuuuuuuh, really ,uuuuuuuuh love this ,uuuuuuuh ,uuuuuuuh pod-uuuuuh cast!

[@verstumfung43]

Nate, I call the time when you stop listening to new music the "Music Disconnect". When I was younger, I always wondered when people hit that. I hit mine in the early 2000's. Middle School to my mid 20's. 1987 to 2003ish for me. Nothing beats some Alice in Chains, Tool, Pantera and Soundgarden to me.

[@thecreativechristianpod]

To be fair, I'm an ice road trucker. I missed the Star Meter explanation because it was a long and stormy night. The roads were slick. I hopped out of the rig to save an innocent little panguin that ran in front of me. I had no time to pause the episode. I ended up losing a leg and never had the time to rewind back to that part. Who is laughing now, Bargatze?

[@thecreativechristianpod]

Also, this is the fourth time you've pronounced my last name, so I gotta help you on this one. It's WHY-ICE . But you know not literally. Sound it out!

[@katietyson1090]

One the best! Besides the first quarter stuck on that damn hallmark car screen, never fastforwed so much on this pod

[@Essy311]

It's so cool that Nate is an actual guest on Fallon tonight. Pretty sure that's where I first saw him about 10 years ago talking about how easy it is to buy a tiger in America.

[@teufel7627]

Miss the good old carpet floor basketball days!!!! I remember that too!!!

[@SteveKelly1]

Hey Nate, here’s a tip for reducing your sugar intake. Whenever you want a sugary food item (real or artificial sugar) instead eat a candy bar. So if you wake up and want a diet coke; instead, drink a water and eat a snickers bar. If an hour later you want some sour patch kids candy; eat another candy bar. It sounds counter productive, but there is less sugar in something like a snickers bar (20 grams) than a serving of sour patch kids (24grams) or a regular soda (39 grams). Eating a candy bar feels substantial, it’s more satisfying, and compared to other sugary treats they often contain less sugar. After doing this for a few days, you’ll be so tired of eating full size candy bars you’ll cut back, eventually getting your sugar intake to something more reasonable. I used this trick myself and it’s how I quit soda. I lost 15 pounds in a month.

[@hannahjoyed]

I would love to hear this comment read on the next episode 😅😂

[@meg5897]

Good luck reducing sugar. You may want to try to save sugar for the end of the day. Might help reduce the cravings and give something to look forward too. Easy day Also you saying you're gonna ask Jim Gaffigan's advice made me so happy. My two favorite comedians..wish ya would tour together 🙏 or a one time show together at Zaines 😝 with Baby face Bates and Aaron

[@dustingaddis2423]

OMG when the light went out and Breakfast had that genuine look of panic in his eyes thinking he was having a stroke I nearly threw up I was laughing so hard. You couldn't have had better timing on that if you tried!

[@dabjohn]

Aaron gets COVID. I think Nateland's off to a great start for 2022.

[@dabjohn]

Kidding aside, I hope Aaron recovers soon.

[@wildcenter]

Nate, if you’re ready to quit this comedy thing and pursue your lifelong dream of working with animals then we invite you to be an honorary member of The Wild Center animal care team the next time you’re in New York.

[@brandonconrad56]

I love how the video of Sonny rubbing his butt in the dirt made sure to say Sonny was on the left and the dog was on the right. I wasn't sure so I'm glad they cleared that up for me!!😆😆

[@masterkraftster]

Can't wait to see you jan 16th. I watched season 3 of the standups that is the show than introduced me to you. And honestly dusty slay was the best episode of season 3 really great. Keep up the good work.

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

Checkers is to Nate's version of checkers as baseball is to Finnish Baseball.

Hello Folks and btw, Let's Go Folks! Great show Nick! I really enjoyed this week's Podcast w/ Brick and young Cole. We're all hoping that Rudy overcomes the Covid and comes back soon. I love that Nate didn't know MS and Multiple Sclerosis were the same thing. Then, Dr. Bates with "most of your nasal bone is skin"! Wow! Keep it up fellas! See you in Texas February 5th!

[@joshuacoustics]

I lived in Midland for a while, and that is pretty much true. I hated that area, but I have to go there from time to time for work still. Definitely dont miss living there.

[@AlexisJay611]

2 things: I told my parents about how Nate likes Hallmark too and my dad was happy he wasn’t the only older guy who enjoyed it 😅 And I really feel seen when Nate talks about how much he loves sugar, I too love it very much!

[@score3q]

Intern Cole's got jokes!

[@Ryan_Dance]

Every time Sonny talked I kept picturing Mick... Which makes me curious how far Mick can throw a football. Can that be the next krispy kreme challenge? Nate, Boatramp, Aaron, and Mick all guess how far they can throw, then go prove it. Looking forward to the Jan 13th show in Lexington!

[@therobertharte]

Cole, you ever read a comment?

[@to6etherwego]

I fell asleep part way through this one. Woke up and thought "man this intern is coming out if his shell, and he played pro baseball?" Had to rewind to figure it out, 2 different people.

[@tylergorham7301]

Commenting before watching. Really hope they ask Sonny how far he can throw a football.

[@jonfoster7762]

You're in luck

[@wall1955]

Brian I hope all went well the MRI and Nate really funny on Fallon great job

[@brandonegraham]

I don’t have a story to top Breakfast, but I’m a cancer survivor and on crutches and played Little League for a few years. When I would come up to bat, kids would be nervous to pitch to me because they didn’t have great control and didn’t want to hit me. A few times they would come close but not close to hitting me, but I would act like I’d been hit to either get on base or get in their heads. Enjoyed this podcast about my favorite sport!

[@gregorydunn6143]

Watched Nate last night on Fallon and it was hilarious. I'm now questioning if Nate is funnier sitting down. I mean his special are great but a relaxed Nate in a chair on the podcast and on Fallon is also hilarious. I think Nate should do his next special seated just so I'll know and because I think it will be funny.

[@score3q]

I love that Nate just knows how many miles while the US is

[@Unz360]

Sonny Gray is such a classic sounding baseball name, love it. And it kind of sounds like an oxymoron when you think about it 😏

[@stucat9560]

See ya in Cincy soon Nate, I'll be the one selling your merch there.

[@mjp611]

Loved the show and loved Cole. But one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about…If the Atlantic called Nate a walking Xanax, what would they call Cole? He was like a Xanax, wrapped in a Zoloft, tucked in a Prozac and dipped in Ambien. I think I need to move to the south to enjoy more folks like this. And if I picked a location just based on the numbers of times I’ve heard it mentioned, I would think Lebanon is where it’s at.

[@kevinwhite2930]

Nothing like Nate being confused that Steve Carell wasn’t the star of Bruce Almighty and having Britches look at Nate in a concerned manner and say “no, Jim Carey was the star”. There was no mention by anyone at the table of Steve Carell being the star of Even almighty ( the sequel to Bruce almighty ) which is clearly why Nate got mixed up.. y’all just looked at each other with goofy faces and moved on dismissing Nate’s confusion. sums up this podcast

[@michaelvisy985]

Aaron would have sorted this out (no offense Cole)

[@reneepoche15]

Thought the same thing!!

[@chadfunkhouser8899]

Nate is the regular kid nowadays that would get taken out of class for any quiz or test and yes you know who that person is still to this day.

[@williamgaleano4392]

Intern Cole reminds me of Riley Mau. A lot.

[@Wesner77]

Just watched you on Fallon, and it was great! Your panel material was so funny. How you transitioned from Type 2 Diabetes to digging a shallow grave was brilliant. We can’t wait to see you in Evansville later this month. Hoping to score another picture with you! Thanks for the laughs.

[@Colin-rf4on]

This episode is going to make me buy a Sonny jersey.

[@therobertharte]

Cole, do you follow the gregorian calendar?

[@daniellem.ferrer3382]

Hi Nate, Brian and Sonny! Great Episode, Throughly enjoyed it! I hope Aaron is getting better and will be back soon. The special guest of Sonny was great! I am a huge baseball fan, (Go Dodgers 2020 World series winner!) During this episode learned a lot about Sonny i didn’t know, thank you Google. . I LOVE the 2 hour episodes keep them up! Question I have is, will the podcasts cease while you are touring Nate? Let us know! xo ❤️

[@camerona4200]

Dierks Bentley would be a great guest and very interesting to hear his side of being on the road as well. Comedy v country. Would love to hear how it differs

[@kevinwrobleski532]

Hello Folks!!! My wife is SICK AND TIRED OF ME SAYING "NIGHTMARE!" She recently found out where I acquired this habit. But, she did buy me tickets to the Houston Show Feb 12th!!!! Been here since day 1-never had comment read. One day I'll get to hear Nate butcher my last name. Keep doing what you're doing!!!!!!!!! Good bye Folks!! Let's Go!!

[@hannahjoyed]

Unbelievable!

[@edcutter840]

FINALLY an adult in the room

[@Lincoln21-n3r]

I'm totally with Nate on the Hallmark movie thing. Movies in general always have stuff that makes you feel like "Yeah, that's not how real life works". How about at the end of Titanic when the old woman throws a 20 MILLION DOLLAR necklace into the ocean (spoiler alert) and we're supposed to just be like "Well, she needed closure, can't put a price on that". I don't think so!

[@williamhill5901]

How many days passed in that first semester at MTSU before Babymaker Bates asked Mudcat Brewer for his autograph?

[@kip7371]

What makes this podcast so great is that it starts right after the podcast I chose. Great filler. JK guys. I love the show.

[@chrisg8729]

Entertaining show today as always and we got the bonus of seeing you on The Tonight Show this week, funny stuff. Looking forward to seeing who hits the Nate Weight Date first. Who will touch the 160s and when will it be? I’m about the same weight, so I will be playing along from home. I was at 189 and now I’m down 3 pounds. Who’s winning?

[@camerona4200]

Y’all have to get Dierks Bentley on. He would love the show and I bet he listens.

[@gregorydunn6143]

Don't make resolutions make SMART goals. Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Time-based. I want to lose weight. Vs I want to lose 30 pounds by August 1st or 1 pound per week, by counting daily calories and exercising 3 times a week. I will only check my progress once a week by weighing myself on. Every Monday. I will use my fitness pal to count calories and track my weight loss journey.

Would have loved if the girls car from the hallmark movie was towed and completed derailed their entire day and had to deal with going to the impound lot , paperwork, etc… then the movie just ends there.

[@rhondanolen2223]

That baseball player was awesome I was falling asleep and I heard u ask how far he could throw a football and thought it was the other dude I had to look when he said he won two state championships in football and laughed

[@JRBAKER]

Nathan, Weber Grills and Bran Flakes...for folks who love Seinfeld as much as y'all do, but who also are not fans of comics who laugh at their own jokes, how do you navigate the fact that Jerry is consistently grinning, almost outright giggling, so often after delivering lines? Like, he is on the verge of breaking character on a very regular basis. Thoughts?? Thanks for all y'all do.

[@brentd]

I always listen in the car, so I never see the video, but Nic Novicki either sounds like a higher octave version of Sonny, or Sonny like a lower octave version of Nic. Intern Cole also seemed to kind of channel Aaron at times in this episode...must be the chair!

[@JamezM74]

Hey Nate big fan of the podcast you guys doing a great job I just want to comment on the coke for soda I'm from Louisiana so I'm from the real south and we don't call sodas coke so it's not everybody in the South that does that keep up the good work.

[@paulm.e.mueller2903]

I'm downright jovial that my wife and I get to go see Nate in person soon in Chicago! My wife is less than excited. Is there any advice to help someone enjoy their first comedy show (even if they feel like they are there against their will)? I'll go proofread this now.

[@LA_Ohhey_Shotani]

It really surprised me when talking about jury duty that Nate focused on putting people to jail versus setting some kind of record and giving 10 million to the 123rd power dollars to somebody for something ridiculous.

[@kcall23]

Does Nate considers himself a Rom Com person? I hear him talk a lot about Mission Impossible type films, but after learning that he is a new fan of Hallmark Christmas movies, coupled with the fact that his two favorite moments from The Office were when Michael showed up to Pam’s art show and Jim asked Pam on the date, I’d pin him more as a Rom Com guy. Also, I love the hallmark channel. My roommates hate it so much that my aunt and I have struck a deal that she’ll dvr the movies and I’ll house sit for her and my uncle when they go out of town to visit their kids.
