After roasting Brian for his question, Nate "let me make it better" - "if it's a 20hr flight, give me 10 and then give me 8, that's how I'd do it." And no one mentioned that Nate would still be 2hrs from the destination...
I feel like he deserves to be wherever he ended up lol I thought the question was quite reasonable and it was interesting that they had to hem and haw around it for so long and roast Blueberry when the answer, as we found out later was simply 10hrs. I thought we were about to have another Cow-gate on our hands.
@@nathanielwiens it was a great question. I just didn’t get him giving Brain a hard time. I mean most of the stuff they talk about is silly. Nate should have played along.
Hey Bear and whatnot! I am a palliative care chaplain at a hospital in Denver. Each day we start interdisciplinary rounds with a short reflection, usually an inspirational quote or something. Today I instructed our entire team to come up with the five liquids they would dispense from their fingers. Each member of the team (doctors, social workers, chaplains) spent the whole day discussing, looking up various liquids (some NSFW), and crafting their perfect starting five. You have brought joy and levity to a sometimes difficult place to work. Thanks for being a source of fun and a reminder that we don't always have to take ourselves so seriously!
It's hilarious how The Atlantic wrote an article calling Nate "the nicest man in standup" because they never met someone with a southern accent before 😂😂😂 Nate is basically a NYC comedian, anyone at this table is "nicer" than him. Love the pod 👍
Yes he is nice. He just likes to tease and thinks it’s funny and entertaining. His cohosts know they are getting a lot out of being on this podcast due to Nate’s popularity, so they are going to take it with a grain of salt and are also grateful to Nate for bringing them on. Also, I think by “nice” The Atlantic also meant “clean” (no cursing) and non-political in his comedy.
Nate, you’re right about altruism. The discussion is ridiculous. We should help people, and it should make us feel good. But, for a guy who didn’t want credit for helping that lady at the airport, you sure talked about it a lot! 😂
The discussion isn’t about should you or shouldn’t you help. It’s about is it totally selfless. You sound like Nate today…..cranky and unaware of the question.
And just fyi. I’m joking. Your post is spot on. I just felt like Nate couldn’t figure that altruism isn’t about should you or shouldn’t you. He seemed cranky today lol.
@@sondvl24 I found myself getting annoyed with him being annoyed about everything lol From the layover question to altruism to the chicago fire (and in line with last week's Dunning-Kruger discussion), Nate can fall into this routine when he's in a mood: I don't understand this thing, so you're the dumb one and I'm going to rant about how you're the dumb one because I don't understand the thing. Ahh well, such is life. We all have off days. ✌
it's so annoying how nate piles on and talks bad about anything he can't understand or anyone he doesn't agree with. that's exactly how a simpled minded person thinks and is the stereotype of the average middle american
Perhaps we should take a moment to say Thank you to Brian for putting up with the craziness that is Nateland. We love it. And it wouldn’t be the same if you weren’t there to take the abuse. Rest assure, we know what you mean even when Nate doesn’t. I find myself saying “bless his heart” out loud a lot when listening to the podcast. :)
NATE - I adore you and will see you in Dayton Friday - but you’ve got to chill on your “grouchy old man” bit. Or just take it all the way and wear a scowl through the podcast😉
I was at Nate’s show in Springfield ILLINOIS last night! Hilarious and some of his best material to date! I loved seeing his Dad as well. He made me tear up when he thanked all of us for loving his son! 😢♥️ It’s really quite easy! 🥰
When Nate says something crazy like, "if you got $10 million you couldn't retire." I just have to shake my head. Even if I got taxed at 40% and had $6 million left, I could retire. I will only have a high tax liability the first year. If I place that money in various high interest accounts I can live off of the interest alone going forward, for the most part. (for example, 4% on that amount is $240,000. I make 1/5th of that right now. I think I'd be just fine.)
1:51:00 I love how the one time Nate questions Dusty’s “conspiracy theories” and expresses concern over whether they should be looking something up, it’s about climate zones, a completely normal concept in agriculture and environmental science 🤣
It's 4am and the episode drops. This is the few positives a of night shift 😂 I've been a subscriber to the channel since before the first episode... all 350-400 some subscribers when I joined. Congrats on the 110,000+
Howdy folks, 2 quick sides for your amusement, my grandfather could never properly pronounce Worcestershire sauce but used it frequently on steak, use to call it washed a shore sauce because he said it was made from the wash up fish and left over bits after processing. And secondly it's funny to me that nate lived in Chicago which is nicknamed the windy city and you all are having a debate on how the Chicago fire spread... cheers from the land of lincoln. Yee yee come back to the jukebox, dusty I was at that show where the meat packing plant burned down. It's the first time I ever heard of you and you were great.
Nate and Dusty are totally right about altruism. Some of us do things for others because it needs doing. The ones that say it's done for selfish reasons will never help anybody but themselves.
Hey guys, big fan of the podcast, I’m still 30 episodes behind so there is still time for that to change. I wanted to give a shout out to two Nateland fans, my best friend Keaton who got me hooked on the podcast, and his beautiful bride Catherine. They are getting married on June 9th! We are looking forward to seeing Nate in Knoxville in December. Keep up the great entertainment!
I live in Sarasota, Florida but recently had to fly out of Tampa. Having never been there before, I took pictures of where I left my car in the garage. When I returned the next day, I asked someone where the parking garage was and they pointed me to a tram. Ten minutes into my tram ride I thought “I did not take a tram to get here”. Needless to say I wandered around a satellite lot for an hour before finally asking a cop to help me. I showed her the photos of where I parked and she said “bless your heart sweetie, you aren’t close”. Needed the find car on Google maps for sure
Hey Fellas, Longtime caller first time listener. 😉 After hearing that Dusty is still looking for suggestions on baby names I came up with a few that I thought might work: (In no particular order) Maximus Slay Remington Slay Stark Slay Wyatt Slay Thank you all for the clean comedy and wholesome entertainment you bring to everyone's lives, it is truly a welcome sight.
Dusty’s response was the most concise and thoughtful rebuttal to “altruism is impossible”. Stating that because you feel good after an act implies a selfish motive is a logical fallacy. Hmm… and we just talked about that didn’t we. Seems Dusty and Nate are the only ones in the room passing that class!
I've thought a lot about that topic since the episode of Friends, the one where Phoebe tries to disprove the argument that there is no unselfish good deed by letting a bee sting her. It was pointed out that the bee dies after stinging, and I don't think there was ever a resolution to it.
Anyone else immediately think of the Parking Garage episode of Seinfeld with Aaron's story? Hope it didn't turn out like Seinfeld with Lucy's fish dying and Aaron and his friend in mall jail.
In August we are going to a farm for vacation with lots of down time. I've been kind of worried that the younger crowd might be bored but after listening to this episode, I've decided to go back through the podcasts and write down all of the best questions/comments like the 5 finger liquid one, and throw them out every day and see what mayhem ensues. Except for Lindsay's altruism which might start a fight. Thanks for the great ideas, guys!
Saw Nate throw out the first pitch at the Sounds game this past weekend. Got a smile and a wave out of him when I yelled hello folks while he was in front of the dugout.
Aaron saying that getting a tumor is “worth it to save a few minutes” definitely shows he is the youngest on the show, with no concept of his own mortality. Maybe he’s just trusting in that family money to get a specialist somewhere down the road, so he can afford to worry about a few minutes here and there.
Wednesday! My favorite day of the week. Plus the fact that we saw Nate last nite In Dayton, Oh. Great show, especially when his dad thanked the audience for 'loving his son' ❤❤❤
it is KILLING ME that none of you are calling out Illinois as one of the most recognizeable states on the map IN THE ILLINOIS EPISODE!! You put that sucker on a piece of paper all on it's lonesome and no way you aren't calling that one out by name. Not even top 25? CMON! Love you guys, thanks for the laughs every week
Can you imagine 75 Buttered Biscuits de boarding then reboarding the plane? I don’t care if that layover is 6 hours or 10 minutes and you can’t get off. At least one Biscuit is not making the connecting flight. Nate grab you a Hot n Spicy with mayo and cheese only and dip that bad boy in some hot mustard, the bees knees. Thirdly, that snail is going to live the remainder of his life in a small box, possibly in the form of an aquarium. Boom, case solved. Keep up the work!
Ya'll should be ashamed of yourselves! You have the ability to change world civilization & you fail to realize it. Next time you see Mr. JIF you have to get him to tell the "peanut butter powers that be" to start selling JIF in tubs. Like regular butter tubs. They'd get all the shelf space they ever dreamed of. Otherwise I'll have no choice but to invent extra-long butter knives. PS- Have you ever thought about having Tim Hawkins on the podcast? He & Warren were Mizzou athletes at the same time. -Tyler Gray Illinois
I love the show and I know nate is in a different tax bracket than me. And I understand Nate was talking about moving to ny running from the snail But just so he knows I feel like I’m doing good but I’d have to work 161.2 years to earn 10 million. The average income in nyc would have to work 100 years to earn that. But you couldn’t/wouldn’t quit your job for 10 million?? Comedy must be must more enjoyable than construction. Thanks for the reminder.
Guys , text yourself your parking location in the parking garage, level, area, color, what ever helps, lost 3 times where my car was, last 12 yrs never!!!! Hope it helps MJ in Ill-i-noise , great cast boyz
Guys! I had to stop vacuuming, pause the podcast and comment on altruism...siding with Nate, it is altogether possible to do a good deed without selfish motivation because the "feelin good" about doing it comes AFTER doing the deed, you don't do CPR because it makes you feel good, when you get a save though, you sure feel good. Love the podcast!!
Altruism is helping a sworn enemy and not being happy with yourself that you helped your enemy and not being happy that your enemy received your help. Why did you help your enemy? Just so you could answer this question and comment on Nateland's video.... Altruism.
One reason I love this podcast...a heated discussion around which finger you would use if one of them was a tap for water....amazing. Well done guys, well done!
What about members of the military jumping on grenades to protect their comrades? There is no time to think, and in that moment you are doing it 100% to save other people knowing it's not going to feel very good at all
Have a feeling Athletic Greens could make more money from Nateland podcast listeners if they just did a merch collaboration. Put AG1 on a T shirt and we’d be all over it.
I love the “if it’s the only restaurant you can eat at debate.” Aaron and Dusty attack like he said you have to eat here every meal. The question should have been simplified for them, as if you go out to eat you can only eat at this one restaurant and to that Nate is correct. Also please discuss best fast food Chicken place. Thank you.
Because the city structures and sidewalks were all made of wood, it burned quickly. Then Chicago built new brick buildings and were open to skyscrapers. My great grama stood in Lake Michigan with her family, watching the city burn.🔥
Nate making fun of college is ironic after the altruism debate. Nate did exactly what college professors try to teach students to do in class: he challenged the professor’s argument by providing examples; he listened as the guys explained that the example good deeds he provided weren’t truly altruistic because they make you feel good; he realized that based on the professor’s definition of altruism, it probably is impossible; and then he concluded by providing his own argument that the definition of altruism is unfair/unhelpful because it is part of human nature to feel good when helping others. Nate would make a great liberal arts college student!
I am all about that layover. 4.5 hrs makes me stir crazy. I've connected in Iceland before on a Trans Atlantic flight so I could get off and stretch out.
Damn as smart aaron is you wouldn’t think finding his car would be an issue. If you’re in a parking garage take a picture of the parking space number and the level and text them to yourself. If you’re parking in the street drop a pin and then text it to yourself or to someone you’re with. Texting yourself always works for notes and grocery lists 🤷♀️ 👋 🐻
I became an instant fan of Nate’s comedy in 2019 after seeing The Tennessee Kid, and have been a weekly listener of the podcast from the get-go. It wasn’t until the last handful of episodes that I noticed a particular ism that comes up occasionally, and thought I’d check in for some answers. I hear Nate consistently say “we’re” instead of “we’ll”. Example: “we’re talk about that next time,” or “we’re be in Nashville next weekend,” etc. Are we supposed to add in the word “going” on our own as a part of the “we’re” contraction? As someone from the Northwest, I wasn’t sure if it might a Southern thing, although I’ve only heard Nate say it. This is my first comment/question, and figured this would be an opportune time to mention y’all are great and hope to see you come through Portland-Nate please come back, you were unbelievable.
Love the podcast and loved seeing you live at Red Rocks. You and your Dad were amazing! My five year old also enjoys your podcast and whenever we visit the local mall, she runs up to the various bear statues in the mall and says “Hey Bear 🐻”
Nate, Dusty, Aaron and Black Bean Breakfast Burrito - My husband and I have been huge fans since we stumbled across Nate’s special, Tennessee Kid, in 2019 one night while browsing Netflix. We didn’t know what we were in for, but we laughed so hard we cried, and we have been hooked ever since. Now we have a fun hobby following stand-up comedy in general. It’s a nice escape from our daily lives as full-time working parents of four. The reason I felt the need to comment this week is because I am the corporate dietitian at Panera Bread. I manage the nutrition, ingredient, allergen and food policy information that you see on our menus. Aaron - thank you for being a Panera fan! I have heard you mention Panera a few times. Nate - I hope you give us another try. Though Aaron prefers our drive-thru locations, there is still the option to walk into a bakery-cafe and order, plus there are calorie counts on all the menu items which I know is something you pay attention to. So many options to choose from - from bakery treats to specialty coffees & drinks to salads to sandwiches to soups to warm bowls to flatbread pizzas! You can’t go wrong. Thanks for the continued laughs, gentleman! See you in St. Louis in October, Nate!
I was waiting for Brian to say that Nate’s reason for giving money to a homeless would be to lighten the weight of his wallet because his back is hurting. Lol
Hello folks! Love the episode. I live outside of Peoria and appreciate Dusty acknowledging us outside of Chicago. Most of Illinois is farm country and we get frustrated with the big city politics that runs our state. Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing Nate in Peoria for the second time in November!
A real head scratcher: The vast majority of folks from Arkansas pronounce the "S" in Illinois. Of all people, they should know better. LOL Are there other states with a silent "S" that pronounce it in other states names? -Tyler Gray Illinois
The first McDonald’s is totally still in Des Plaines and has been turned into a museum. I’m surprised Nate didn’t pick McDonald’s as his one restaurant to eat at. I also used to caddie for the family that invented the Twinkie!
We have a full length discussion about altruism without once mentioning that Jesus did this very thing when He CHOSE to die on the cross for us and then encouraged us to do the same by giving our own lives for the good of others... so therefore I DO BELIEVE that it IS possible IF and ONLY IF one has been blessed with the Holy Spirit and is born again under the authority of the King of altruism Himself. God bless you guys. Love this podcast for its positive atmosphere and thank you to Dusty for being open about his faith and sobriety..Huge fan! (of Dusty Slay LOL) J/K thanks you guys.
"and also, it does NOT state that the snail is somehow SUPER DUPER SMART lol so he ain't hopin on no cars and any o that. Jump from Nashville to Florida every year and enjoy your $$$🤑💰💸
I showed my husband a clip of Dusty doing standup and his first comment was “his hair is really straight”. Which I never really thought of but now I’m wondering, how does Dusty get his hair so straight?
Nate said he thinks a lantern started the fire, Breakfast says traditionally it was said a cow knocked over a lantern, Nate says "I haven't heard that"
Hello Folks. My daughter is stationed in Las Vegas with the air force. She surprised me with tickets to see Nate on June 9th. Can't wait to see him live. You guys are the best. Love the podcast!!!!
The visual on this podcast is SO funny! It’s the only one I would rather watch than only listen to!! Dusty with his constant fidgeting, Aaron fiercely trying not to laugh at Dusty’s ad reads, Nate’s side eye at Breakfast, Bubbly’s adorable bobble head smile while he tries endlessly to direct the conversation! 🤣🤣🤣
I grew up thinking there was a Springfield in every state, but when you pulled up that map I was shocked to see it wasn't true. More than that, I was confused to see 67 Springfields in less than 50 states. Upon further investigation, it turns out that *according to this* Michigan and Indiana have 2 Springfields, while New Jersey has 3, Virginia has 4, and Wisconsin takes the crown with 5. Every week I become more and more thankful for this educational podcast.
Amalgam is when you mix mercury with other metals and they are sometimes liquid. Gold being a soft metal can be liquid with just the right amount of mercury.
Hey Bear! In reference to the altruism discussion, I think the more productive focus would be on the actual motives themselves instead of whether you can do it without an agenda or motive. It might also be less infuriating to Nate. Anyway, as a Christian, we see that it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6) & that everything we do should be for the glory of God (I Corinthians 10:31, Colossians 3:23, Isaiah 43:7). So our "good deeds" should be first & foremost for God's glory, & then we can have secondary & tertiary reasons. If the main reason is anything else such as feeling good about it or people respecting you for it would be or you get rewarded... literally anything besides God's glory being the priority would be sin. The other stuff is "icing on the cake" if we're doing good deeds for the right. As a side note, but important point to clarify, we are not saved BY our good deeds, but UNTO good deeds (Isaiah 64:6, Ephesians 2:8-9).
Anybody who thinks Nate hasn't been changed by money or fame, do you still think that after hearing him talk about how $10m isn't that much money and you couldn't even live off of it in NYC? C'mon. I guess it happens to the best of them...
57:33 you catch the snail, without touching it. put it in a mason jar with a lid. This way, you know its whereabouts at all times. Plus, you have the satisfaction of living your best 10 million dollar life in front of the creature that wants to kill you, but can't. You put food and water in the jar on occasion because you are altruistic. The snail soon becomes dependent on you, and you begin to feel a sense of stewardship over the critter. Eventually you name it. And you and the snail become friends. You begin taking Shellby along with you on trips and parties (in his jar, of course). With your money, you buy him a larger, beautiful custom made jar to live in at home and one for all your travels. You both live happily ever after. The End.
So an altruistic act is not truly altruism IF the person has a nice feeling from helping someone? So, you should have absolutely NO FEELING? Like a ROBOT? IF that's the premise, then the opposite could be true? If I hit a total stranger in the face, I should walk away feeling no remorse??
Hey Folks. Hello bear. Went back and was listening to the “Aliens” episode and heard the topic of the Cowboy Church that Beefcake worked in Montgomery. I live in Conroe, which is north of Houston, and there a lot of Cowboy churches. The basis behind it is it’s a judgment free place where you don’t have to dress up (or cowboy wear). Anyone is welcome, but most of them look and feel like you’re at a ranch. Love the show. Coming to the show in Ft Worth later this year.
I donated a kidney in February to a random stranger - still haven't met them but hope their life has been saved and is better. Maybe that will convince (kidney) Beans Bates to rethink his opinion on altruism. Although, it does make me feel good to know someone might be living their best life... but it was a long recovery and that part didn't feel good. Does that count for anything? Name idea for Baby Slay... have been shocked no one has thought of this: Rusty. Rusty Slay. And if its a girl - flip the y to an ie and have a Rustie. I've introduced the podcast to a coworker of mine and we have tickets to see Nate when he comes to NYC to Radio City - we will be the ones yelling "HEY BEAR". We are working on a wildly intense project and didn't know where to start with some of the analysis. I had a lightbulb go off while listening to one of the animal fights episodes and I thought "WE CAN DO A TOURNAMENT to help us narrow down the decisions." It was a huge hit and I have been praised as being brilliant with the idea. I only told a few people where I got the idea so I don't lose my status as being brilliant. Keep up the great work guys. I wake up every Wednesday excited for a new episode - you all make my life a lot brighter and when you end the podcast with "we love y'all" I truly believe its genuine.
I am an Orthopedic Surgery PA. Argument for altruism being possible would be certain times in the medical field. Example, a gangbanger needs emergency surgery, they essentially get the same treatment as everyone else. The job is to provide good no matter the circumstances. You might could argue well you do it for the money. 1. Some people are on salary and get paid whether this patient shows up or not. 2. You think gangbangers walk around with insurance? 3. Ask a nurse about their worst patient and if they would have paid money to not have them as a patient. On a much smaller scale a patient will brag on the surgeon how good their scar looks when I was the one that closed the incision site, so I did that for nothing haha. Fortunately, I live in a great small town in Alabama so we don’t have to worry about this often! Thanks for the entertainment guys!
Is this where they get the comments for the show? I just want to say, I am in total agreement with Nate on Hot Mustard from McDonalds. By far the best condiment out there. Hot Mustard is delicious. Also super awkward to try and get, especially if you don’t get nuggets… therefore, completely worth occupying a finger.
Got 2 ways to make 10 million dollars. Have all 5 fingers leak out liquid gold, and take the 10 million and wait for the snail to get close and trap him in something and leave him locked up forever. Here's to thinking outside the box! Your hands down my favorite comedian Nate, come back down to Houston would love to see you live!
Did you guys hear that Nick Novicki got to voice a version of Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse?!? His part got a big laugh at the showing I went to!
In the kid example, you’re getting outside praise for that act. Whether you sought that or not. How many kids would you help find if you got screamed at or locked up when you did it. You would never do it again. But if you did afterwards then that would be altruistic. It’s all theory anyways, that’s half the fun of college is discussing things that would never actually work in the real world anyways.
The fact that Nate who (like me) sometimes has a hard time pronouncing some words, nailed "worcestershire" is one of the funniest things. When I heard it brought up I was all excited to hear him say it. Thinking, like me he was going to destroy the pronunciation. But not only did he say it correctly, he said all three different versions.
My 9 year old is currently in surgery getting a tumor removed from his neck (not cancer) and even though I trust fully God is in control and no matter the outcome His will is perfect, I am thankful for this podcast to bring something light. Thanks guys for sitting in a room talking about nothing important and thanks Nate for adding a little comedy to the conversation.
Nate doesnt't understand zooming out and getting out of his own thoughts and establishing fundamental principles to reinforce absolute truth. Altruism is just mankinds carnal definition of charity and nate doesn't understand that and which is why he argued the argument when there really is no argument if you really beleive God. 1 Cor 13
How did Bueno turn Nauvoo into a Spanish word with that pronunciation? It was so bad I didn't even realize what city he was talking about until he mentioned Joseph Smith. Should have phoned a friend and called up Ryan Hamilton.
After roasting Brian for his question, Nate "let me make it better" - "if it's a 20hr flight, give me 10 and then give me 8, that's how I'd do it." And no one mentioned that Nate would still be 2hrs from the destination...
I feel like he deserves to be wherever he ended up lol I thought the question was quite reasonable and it was interesting that they had to hem and haw around it for so long and roast Blueberry when the answer, as we found out later was simply 10hrs. I thought we were about to have another Cow-gate on our hands.
@@nathanielwiens it was a great question. I just didn’t get him giving Brain a hard time. I mean most of the stuff they talk about is silly. Nate should have played along.
He said 20 hours… but they had been talking about an 18 hour flight for awhile so it’s pretty clear that’s what he had in his head.

From the layover question to altruism to the chicago fire (and in line with last week's Dunning-Kruger discussion), Nate can fall into this routine when he's in a mood: I don't understand this thing, so you're the dumb one and I'm going to rant about how you're the dumb one because I don't understand the thing.
Ahh well, such is life. We all have off days. ✌
That’s funny

Howdy folks, 2 quick sides for your amusement, my grandfather could never properly pronounce Worcestershire sauce but used it frequently on steak, use to call it washed a shore sauce because he said it was made from the wash up fish and left over bits after processing. And secondly it's funny to me that nate lived in Chicago which is nicknamed the windy city and you all are having a debate on how the Chicago fire spread... cheers from the land of lincoln. Yee yee
come back to the jukebox, dusty I was at that show where the meat packing plant burned down. It's the first time I ever heard of you and you were great.
Nate and Dusty are totally right about altruism. Some of us do things for others because it needs doing. The ones that say it's done for selfish reasons will never help anybody but themselves.
Altruism does exist, what does a soldier who jumps on a grenade benefit?
Hey guys, big fan of the podcast, I’m still 30 episodes behind so there is still time for that to change. I wanted to give a shout out to two Nateland fans, my best friend Keaton who got me hooked on the podcast, and his beautiful bride Catherine. They are getting married on June 9th! We are looking forward to seeing Nate in Knoxville in December. Keep up the great entertainment!
For the Snail dilemma. You have 10 million dollars. Use that money to develop a way to trap the snail for good and then you dont have to live in fear.

I live in Sarasota, Florida but recently had to fly out of Tampa. Having never been there before, I took pictures of where I left my car in the garage. When I returned the next day, I asked someone where the parking garage was and they pointed me to a tram. Ten minutes into my tram ride I thought “I did not take a tram to get here”. Needless to say I wandered around a satellite lot for an hour before finally asking a cop to help me. I showed her the photos of where I parked and she said “bless your heart sweetie, you aren’t close”.
Needed the find car on Google maps for sure
Hey Fellas,
Longtime caller first time listener. 😉 After hearing that Dusty is still looking for suggestions on baby names I came up with a few that I thought might work:
(In no particular order)
Maximus Slay
Remington Slay
Stark Slay
Wyatt Slay
Thank you all for the clean comedy and wholesome entertainment you bring to everyone's lives, it is truly a welcome sight.
I like Stark Slay 🎉
You should do an episode on superstitions. Nate and Aaron were visibly uncomfortable when Bryan said that airline had never crashed.
That would be an incredible subject episode!!!
Dusty’s response was the most concise and thoughtful rebuttal to “altruism is impossible”. Stating that because you feel good after an act implies a selfish motive is a logical fallacy. Hmm… and we just talked about that didn’t we. Seems Dusty and Nate are the only ones in the room passing that class!

I've thought a lot about that topic since the episode of Friends, the one where Phoebe tries to disprove the argument that there is no unselfish good deed by letting a bee sting her. It was pointed out that the bee dies after stinging, and I don't think there was ever a resolution to it.
ILLINOIS!! Our time has come 🎉🎉
hello cassowary
Anyone else immediately think of the Parking Garage episode of Seinfeld with Aaron's story? Hope it didn't turn out like Seinfeld with Lucy's fish dying and Aaron and his friend in mall jail.
Tell Dusty he can make room in his travel bag by replacing all the supplements and vitamins with travel packs of AG-1!
That's where I thought that statement of his was going. Would have been a smooth transition
In August we are going to a farm for vacation with lots of down time. I've been kind of worried that the younger crowd might be bored but after listening to this episode, I've decided to go back through the podcasts and write down all of the best questions/comments like the 5 finger liquid one, and throw them out every day and see what mayhem ensues. Except for Lindsay's altruism which might start a fight.
Thanks for the great ideas, guys!
Saw Nate throw out the first pitch at the Sounds game this past weekend. Got a smile and a wave out of him when I yelled hello folks while he was in front of the dugout.
Aaron saying that getting a tumor is “worth it to save a few minutes” definitely shows he is the youngest on the show, with no concept of his own mortality. Maybe he’s just trusting in that family money to get a specialist somewhere down the road, so he can afford to worry about a few minutes here and there.
Wednesday! My favorite day of the week. Plus the fact that we saw Nate last nite In Dayton, Oh. Great show, especially when his dad thanked the audience for 'loving his son' ❤❤❤
it is KILLING ME that none of you are calling out Illinois as one of the most recognizeable states on the map IN THE ILLINOIS EPISODE!! You put that sucker on a piece of paper all on it's lonesome and no way you aren't calling that one out by name. Not even top 25? CMON! Love you guys, thanks for the laughs every week
Can you imagine 75 Buttered Biscuits de boarding then reboarding the plane? I don’t care if that layover is 6 hours or 10 minutes and you can’t get off. At least one Biscuit is not making the connecting flight. Nate grab you a Hot n Spicy with mayo and cheese only and dip that bad boy in some hot mustard, the bees knees. Thirdly, that snail is going to live the remainder of his life in a small box, possibly in the form of an aquarium. Boom, case solved. Keep up the work!
Ya'll should be ashamed of yourselves! You have the ability to change world civilization & you fail to realize it. Next time you see Mr. JIF you have to get him to tell the "peanut butter powers that be" to start selling JIF in tubs. Like regular butter tubs. They'd get all the shelf space they ever dreamed of. Otherwise I'll have no choice but to invent extra-long butter knives.
PS- Have you ever thought about having Tim Hawkins on the podcast? He & Warren were Mizzou athletes at the same time.

I love the show and I know nate is in a different tax bracket than me. And I understand Nate was talking about moving to ny running from the snail But just so he knows I feel like I’m doing good but I’d have to work 161.2 years to earn 10 million. The average income in nyc would have to work 100 years to earn that. But you couldn’t/wouldn’t quit your job for 10 million?? Comedy must be must more enjoyable than construction. Thanks for the reminder.
Guys , text yourself your parking location in the parking garage, level, area, color, what ever helps, lost 3 times where my car was, last 12 yrs never!!!! Hope it helps MJ in Ill-i-noise , great cast boyz
Guys! I had to stop vacuuming, pause the podcast and comment on altruism...siding with Nate, it is altogether possible to do a good deed without selfish motivation because the "feelin good" about doing it comes AFTER doing the deed, you don't do CPR because it makes you feel good, when you get a save though, you sure feel good. Love the podcast!!
We're supposed to believe Nate is flying Southwest Airlines to Vegas these days?? Come on.
I think Illinois is very recognizable. Come on, more recognizable than Tennessee- Illinois resident 😂
Altruism is helping a sworn enemy and not being happy with yourself that you helped your enemy and not being happy that your enemy received your help.
Why did you help your enemy? Just so you could answer this question and comment on Nateland's video.... Altruism.
One reason I love this podcast...a heated discussion around which finger you would use if one of them was a tap for water....amazing. Well done guys, well done!
What about members of the military jumping on grenades to protect their comrades? There is no time to think, and in that moment you are doing it 100% to save other people knowing it's not going to feel very good at all
Have a feeling Athletic Greens could make more money from Nateland podcast listeners if they just did a merch collaboration. Put AG1 on a T shirt and we’d be all over it.
Put Dusty Slay drinking his AG1 on a t-shirt with the phrase "Havin a good time".
I love the “if it’s the only restaurant you can eat at debate.” Aaron and Dusty attack like he said you have to eat here every meal. The question should have been simplified for them, as if you go out to eat you can only eat at this one restaurant and to that Nate is correct. Also please discuss best fast food Chicken place. Thank you.
Only someone from Tennessee would think their state is top 10 most recognizable... I have a hard time with Tennessee on a map let alone on it's own
On the illinois episode and you are not putting Illinois in top 5 most recognizable states. It's so unique in shape. Love this podcast.
Because the city structures and sidewalks were all made of wood, it burned quickly. Then Chicago built new brick buildings and were open to skyscrapers. My great grama stood in Lake Michigan with her family, watching the city burn.🔥
Nate making fun of college is ironic after the altruism debate. Nate did exactly what college professors try to teach students to do in class: he challenged the professor’s argument by providing examples; he listened as the guys explained that the example good deeds he provided weren’t truly altruistic because they make you feel good; he realized that based on the professor’s definition of altruism, it probably is impossible; and then he concluded by providing his own argument that the definition of altruism is unfair/unhelpful because it is part of human nature to feel good when helping others. Nate would make a great liberal arts college student!
I am all about that layover. 4.5 hrs makes me stir crazy. I've connected in Iceland before on a Trans Atlantic flight so I could get off and stretch out.
Damn as smart aaron is you wouldn’t think finding his car would be an issue. If you’re in a parking garage take a picture of the parking space number and the level and text them to yourself. If you’re parking in the street drop a pin and then text it to yourself or to someone you’re with. Texting yourself always works for notes and grocery lists 🤷♀️ 👋 🐻
Aaron’s Irish accent was really good in my opinion, what accents does everyone do best?
OOOOooo.... excellent topic idea! I'd LOVE to hear their perspective and attempts on accents.
I became an instant fan of Nate’s comedy in 2019 after seeing The Tennessee Kid, and have been a weekly listener of the podcast from the get-go. It wasn’t until the last handful of episodes that I noticed a particular ism that comes up occasionally, and thought I’d check in for some answers. I hear Nate consistently say “we’re” instead of “we’ll”. Example: “we’re talk about that next time,” or “we’re be in Nashville next weekend,” etc. Are we supposed to add in the word “going” on our own as a part of the “we’re” contraction? As someone from the Northwest, I wasn’t sure if it might a Southern thing, although I’ve only heard Nate say it. This is my first comment/question, and figured this would be an opportune time to mention y’all are great and hope to see you come through Portland-Nate please come back, you were unbelievable.
Nate has discussed the fact he pronounces we’ll as we’re mixing up his r and l sound.
Could you not trap the snail in a jar then fill it with epoxy?
Love the podcast and loved seeing you live at Red Rocks. You and your Dad were amazing! My five year old also enjoys your podcast and whenever we visit the local mall, she runs up to the various bear statues in the mall and says “Hey Bear 🐻”
I'm with Nate- team cheesecake factory!
Athletic Jeans!
That was hilarious
Nate, Dusty, Aaron and Black Bean Breakfast Burrito -
My husband and I have been huge fans since we stumbled across Nate’s special, Tennessee Kid, in 2019 one night while browsing Netflix. We didn’t know what we were in for, but we laughed so hard we cried, and we have been hooked ever since. Now we have a fun hobby following stand-up comedy in general. It’s a nice escape from our daily lives as full-time working parents of four.
The reason I felt the need to comment this week is because I am the corporate dietitian at Panera Bread. I manage the nutrition, ingredient, allergen and food policy information that you see on our menus. Aaron - thank you for being a Panera fan! I have heard you mention Panera a few times. Nate - I hope you give us another try. Though Aaron prefers our drive-thru locations, there is still the option to walk into a bakery-cafe and order, plus there are calorie counts on all the menu items which I know is something you pay attention to. So many options to choose from - from bakery treats to specialty coffees & drinks to salads to sandwiches to soups to warm bowls to flatbread pizzas! You can’t go wrong.
Thanks for the continued laughs, gentleman! See you in St. Louis in October, Nate!
Ill be seeing you in Dayton, Ohio on the 2nd of June the 9:30pm show. I got tickets for my bday!
I was waiting for Brian to say that Nate’s reason for giving money to a homeless would be to lighten the weight of his wallet because his back is hurting. Lol
Nate, nobody knows what Tennese looks like
Hello folks! Love the episode. I live outside of Peoria and appreciate Dusty acknowledging us outside of Chicago. Most of Illinois is farm country and we get frustrated with the big city politics that runs our state. Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing Nate in Peoria for the second time in November!
My daughter lives in Peoria and we saw Nate there in November 2022. I live in Quincy and the whole Chicago things gets old!
"This is where the demons are." 😂😂😂
A real head scratcher:
The vast majority of folks from Arkansas pronounce the "S" in Illinois. Of all people, they should know better. LOL
Are there other states with a silent "S" that pronounce it in other states names?

The first McDonald’s is totally still in Des Plaines and has been turned into a museum. I’m surprised Nate didn’t pick McDonald’s as his one restaurant to eat at. I also used to caddie for the family that invented the Twinkie!
We have a full length discussion about altruism without once mentioning that Jesus did this very thing when He CHOSE to die on the cross for us and then encouraged us to do the same by giving our own lives for the good of others... so therefore I DO BELIEVE that it IS possible IF and ONLY IF one has been blessed with the Holy Spirit and is born again under the authority of the King of altruism Himself. God bless you guys. Love this podcast for its positive atmosphere and thank you to Dusty for being open about his faith and sobriety..Huge fan! (of Dusty Slay LOL) J/K thanks you guys.
Happy Wednesday-luv u guys!
"and also, it does NOT state that the snail is somehow SUPER DUPER SMART lol so he ain't hopin on no cars and any o that. Jump from Nashville to Florida every year and enjoy your $$$🤑💰💸
I showed my husband a clip of Dusty doing standup and his first comment was “his hair is really straight”. Which I never really thought of but now I’m wondering, how does Dusty get his hair so straight?
Nate said he thinks a lantern started the fire, Breakfast says traditionally it was said a cow knocked over a lantern, Nate says "I haven't heard that"
I think Nate was being facetious 😂😂😂
Hello Folks. My daughter is stationed in Las Vegas with the air force. She surprised me with tickets to see Nate on June 9th. Can't wait to see him live. You guys are the best. Love the podcast!!!!
We are stationed here also and went to the show. It was great!!
I need to see Nate’s face during Dusty’s add reads. It’s must be great while he looks at Aaron cracking up.
I think it irritates Nate! 😂
The visual on this podcast is SO funny! It’s the only one I would rather watch than only listen to!!
Dusty with his constant fidgeting, Aaron fiercely trying not to laugh at Dusty’s ad reads, Nate’s side eye at Breakfast, Bubbly’s adorable bobble head smile while he tries endlessly to direct the conversation! 🤣🤣🤣
I grew up thinking there was a Springfield in every state, but when you pulled up that map I was shocked to see it wasn't true. More than that, I was confused to see 67 Springfields in less than 50 states. Upon further investigation, it turns out that *according to this* Michigan and Indiana have 2 Springfields, while New Jersey has 3, Virginia has 4, and Wisconsin takes the crown with 5. Every week I become more and more thankful for this educational podcast.
West Virginia is Texas backwards nearly, but there aint no place shaped like Florida OR tennessee!
Someone needs to make a gif of Brian saying wow to Aaron about the keys. I would use it all the time.
Lmao “what about liquid gold, is that a thing?” -Aaron ‘collage-boy’ Weber 😂❤
Amalgam is when you mix mercury with other metals and they are sometimes liquid. Gold being a soft metal can be liquid with just the right amount of mercury.
Hey Bear! In reference to the altruism discussion, I think the more productive focus would be on the actual motives themselves instead of whether you can do it without an agenda or motive. It might also be less infuriating to Nate. Anyway, as a Christian, we see that it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6) & that everything we do should be for the glory of God (I Corinthians 10:31, Colossians 3:23, Isaiah 43:7). So our "good deeds" should be first & foremost for God's glory, & then we can have secondary & tertiary reasons. If the main reason is anything else such as feeling good about it or people respecting you for it would be or you get rewarded... literally anything besides God's glory being the priority would be sin. The other stuff is "icing on the cake" if we're doing good deeds for the right.
As a side note, but important point to clarify, we are not saved BY our good deeds, but UNTO good deeds (Isaiah 64:6, Ephesians 2:8-9).
Love being surprised on a late Night drive to Nateland
Anybody who thinks Nate hasn't been changed by money or fame, do you still think that after hearing him talk about how $10m isn't that much money and you couldn't even live off of it in NYC? C'mon. I guess it happens to the best of them...
57:33 you catch the snail, without touching it. put it in a mason jar with a lid. This way, you know its whereabouts at all times. Plus, you have the satisfaction of living your best 10 million dollar life in front of the creature that wants to kill you, but can't. You put food and water in the jar on occasion because you are altruistic. The snail soon becomes dependent on you, and you begin to feel a sense of stewardship over the critter. Eventually you name it. And you and the snail become friends. You begin taking Shellby along with you on trips and parties (in his jar, of course). With your money, you buy him a larger, beautiful custom made jar to live in at home and one for all your travels. You both live happily ever after.
The End.
So an altruistic act is not truly altruism IF the person has a nice feeling from helping someone? So, you should have absolutely NO FEELING? Like a ROBOT?
IF that's the premise, then the opposite could be true? If I hit a total stranger in the face, I should walk away feeling no remorse??
Hey Folks. Hello bear. Went back and was listening to the “Aliens” episode and heard the topic of the Cowboy Church that Beefcake worked in Montgomery. I live in Conroe, which is north of Houston, and there a lot of Cowboy churches. The basis behind it is it’s a judgment free place where you don’t have to dress up (or cowboy wear). Anyone is welcome, but most of them look and feel like you’re at a ranch. Love the show. Coming to the show in Ft Worth later this year.
I donated a kidney in February to a random stranger - still haven't met them but hope their life has been saved and is better. Maybe that will convince (kidney) Beans Bates to rethink his opinion on altruism. Although, it does make me feel good to know someone might be living their best life... but it was a long recovery and that part didn't feel good. Does that count for anything?
Name idea for Baby Slay... have been shocked no one has thought of this: Rusty. Rusty Slay. And if its a girl - flip the y to an ie and have a Rustie.
I've introduced the podcast to a coworker of mine and we have tickets to see Nate when he comes to NYC to Radio City - we will be the ones yelling "HEY BEAR". We are working on a wildly intense project and didn't know where to start with some of the analysis. I had a lightbulb go off while listening to one of the animal fights episodes and I thought "WE CAN DO A TOURNAMENT to help us narrow down the decisions." It was a huge hit and I have been praised as being brilliant with the idea. I only told a few people where I got the idea so I don't lose my status as being brilliant.
Keep up the great work guys. I wake up every Wednesday excited for a new episode - you all make my life a lot brighter and when you end the podcast with "we love y'all" I truly believe its genuine.
I am an Orthopedic Surgery PA. Argument for altruism being possible would be certain times in the medical field. Example, a gangbanger needs emergency surgery, they essentially get the same treatment as everyone else. The job is to provide good no matter the circumstances. You might could argue well you do it for the money. 1. Some people are on salary and get paid whether this patient shows up or not. 2. You think gangbangers walk around with insurance? 3. Ask a nurse about their worst patient and if they would have paid money to not have them as a patient.
On a much smaller scale a patient will brag on the surgeon how good their scar looks when I was the one that closed the incision site, so I did that for nothing haha.
Fortunately, I live in a great small town in Alabama so we don’t have to worry about this often! Thanks for the entertainment guys!
Is this where they get the comments for the show? I just want to say, I am in total agreement with Nate on Hot Mustard from McDonalds. By far the best condiment out there. Hot Mustard is delicious. Also super awkward to try and get, especially if you don’t get nuggets… therefore, completely worth occupying a finger.
Could you give someone $10,000 to take the snail to Australia?
Got 2 ways to make 10 million dollars. Have all 5 fingers leak out liquid gold, and take the 10 million and wait for the snail to get close and trap him in something and leave him locked up forever. Here's to thinking outside the box! Your hands down my favorite comedian Nate, come back down to Houston would love to see you live!
I think you guys are being SUPER biased about Tennessee. Kentucky would be recognized over Tennessee and Ohio would be the most recognized
Did you guys hear that Nick Novicki got to voice a version of Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse?!? His part got a big laugh at the showing I went to!
In the kid example, you’re getting outside praise for that act. Whether you sought that or not. How many kids would you help find if you got screamed at or locked up when you did it. You would never do it again. But if you did afterwards then that would be altruistic. It’s all theory anyways, that’s half the fun of college is discussing things that would never actually work in the real world anyways.
The fact that Nate who (like me) sometimes has a hard time pronouncing some words, nailed "worcestershire" is one of the funniest things. When I heard it brought up I was all excited to hear him say it. Thinking, like me he was going to destroy the pronunciation. But not only did he say it correctly, he said all three different versions.
My 9 year old is currently in surgery getting a tumor removed from his neck (not cancer) and even though I trust fully God is in control and no matter the outcome His will is perfect, I am thankful for this podcast to bring something light. Thanks guys for sitting in a room talking about nothing important and thanks Nate for adding a little comedy to the conversation.
Praying for you all!
@Faith Domster thank you so much! Surgery went great! Now its movie marathon time.
Nate doesnt't understand zooming out and getting out of his own thoughts and establishing fundamental principles to reinforce absolute truth.
Altruism is just mankinds carnal definition of charity and nate doesn't understand that and which is why he argued the argument when there really is no argument if you really beleive God.
1 Cor 13
How did Bueno turn Nauvoo into a Spanish word with that pronunciation? It was so bad I didn't even realize what city he was talking about until he mentioned Joseph Smith. Should have phoned a friend and called up Ryan Hamilton.
