Now that we know the amount of effort that Brian pours into curating the comments segment each episode, I would propose that we start calling it "The Breakfast Club".
Last week on our family vacation, while sitting all together my mother asked how our drive was up to the cabin. After we all responded with “great!” she proceeded to ask “Did you all see the dead horse on the side of the road?”. Immediately, myself as well as my brother in law, sister, and wife busted out laughing thinking she was making a joke referencing Nates dead horse story. Wiping the water from our eyes we realized she was completely lost and had no idea what we were talking about. This led to a night of watching Nate’s specials and clueing them into this fantastic podcast. We were all having a great time!
When Dusty said “I bet Jesus measure twice and cut once” I laughed until I cried. Then I watched it again and no one on the pod laughed which made me laugh again. This is what the podcast is all about.
Hello folks and HEY BEAR! On a recent trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, we came out to the parking lot to find a large black bear lurking around our car. I immediately recalled my podcast training and began shouting “Hey, bear!” into the Gatlinburg night. To no surprise, it worked, and the bear scurried off into the surrounding forrest. Thank you Nateland for the podcast, the laughs, and for making the world a safer place. We love you, none of this is lost on us, and uh yeah, see you next week!
As a nerd with a degree in math, it was cool to hear the Birthday Paradox mentioned. It took them a minute to figure it out but they got it. Indeed, the paradox "works" because it's not asking the probability of YOU sharing a birthday with someone, but rather of ANY 2 people in the room sharing a birthday. With 23 randomly selected people, there are 253 possible pairs to consider. Fun fact: The probability reaches 99.9% when you reach 70 people in the room.
25:42 Leaving the “L” out of “Wolf” while including it in “Folks” is what makes this educational podcast so great. I’m looking at you Notre Dame. Thanks for the laughs!
I’m listening while operating a crane at work. When Nate said “Hoosier Damn” I bent over laughing and then realized I had to get it together and get back on task! Love this podcast so much!
My favorite thing about Nateland? Nate, Dusty, Aaron, and Brain have the COURAGE to talk about the real issues that others shy away from. Appliances Part 2? Clearly not afraid of those controversial topics.
Went to my local bar's trivia night and one of the questions was what kind of professor doesn't work full time? One of my teammates said after it was asked "we all knew that." I did know it, but I wouldn't have known it without this podcast, so thank you for not letting me look stupid
This is what i love most about Nateland: after 2 full episodes on appliances, the guys spent the last little bit of episode 2 breaking down the definition of appliances.
“Appliances Part 2” was another thing of beauty. Great episode. It inspired me to suggest a new way of naming your episodes. Start with the topic Breakfast has selected and researched, then follow it with the topic or topics the guys spend the most time actually talking about in parentheses. I wasn’t really enthused about more appliances talk, but the hidden topic of infomercials was so much fun. Keep spreading joy!
I was in the TSA Line this week, and experienced Nate's Comedy LIVE! The agent looked back and forth at the name on my ticket and the name on my license - and said, "Have you ever gone by the name "Wes"?" Confused, I confirmed I had. She said, "Well, your license has Wesley." In my mind - I was channeling Nate saying "You can see how we got there, right?!?" After having me stand there for 5 minutes and having a supervisor confirm it as OK - I was able to proceed. CRAZY!
Dang, I almost spit my coffee on my work PC when yall started in on the cushioned toilet seat conversation. Then you smacked us with the garden hose bidet! Keep it up!
Southern accents are the best. As a kid I always thought my aunt’s name was Darsan. Like Dar-San. I’m 42 now and I was well into my 30s when I figured out her actual name was Dorris Ann. Darsan is just how everyone in the family pronounced it. Lol
When Dusty said "Like Pitcher and Pitcher" and Aaron said well that's the same and Dusty goes, eh. I lost it. I love when y'all say things so confidently and they are so wrong! Y'all are the best!
Aaronland coming out strong this week with the magic bullet throwback. My sister and I used to watch that infomercial all the time. We also loved the miracle blade guy and convinced our dad to buy the knives, 15 years later we still use those knives, still sharp.
I have said for years that Jim Carrey in Liar Liar is some of the best acting I have ever seen! I was so excited when Nate mentioned that too!!! Finally someone (else) said it!!!
My brother-in-law’s name was John Eric Smith. One time, I said something about how generic his name was and it hit me. I said, “Gen-Eric?!?! John Eric?! His name is GENERIC SMITH!” I was so excited at my epiphany, but then my husband said he used to call him that when he was little. 😅
Enjoying an episode of the pod while rocking my son to sleep, then Breakfast says “it’s probably all fake” about the flex seal boat, made me laugh out loud, scared the baby. The fact that only Aaron laughed while Nate said I don’t know, as if he thought it was real…this is why I love this pod, pure silliness!
The crockpot talk reminded me about a superlative award I received in 6th grade from my teacher. I got the “crockpot” award - for being the slowest student in the class 😂 But in college I was reaffirmed by a professor that I was not slow, but rather thorough. So there! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Next year instead of doing a "best of" episode, you guys should do an awards show. Possible categories include: Best Ad Read Best Story Best Episode Best Guest Worst Joke
I had a comment read on here once. I was so excited. It was about a childhood moment in which I thought I discovered something huge while sitting on the toilet at school. I recorded you guys talking about it and showed my family. They loved pointing out that this was the 300th time they heard the story, but the first time it was funny. 🙁.. that hurt. 😂
Brian’s 23 people birthday joke was hilarious! Let’s get over this old “B-word” name joke and give Brian the respect he deserves. Thanks for all the hard work, Brian Bates!
We just found an old George Foreman grill at a garage sale in the free bin😂 works like a champ, but some foods cook unevenly because the lid doesn't come down over big items like a fat burger, by the end its flattened lol
This is by far my favorite podcast. 4 hilarious comedians all in 1 place talking about topics that really aren't too serious but still matter to people like me. please keep the laughs coming.
Nate, I am an economist, and there absolutely have been permanent tax cuts in the US. Prior to the Vietnam war, the marginal federal tax rate on high income earners capped at 87%. That rate has come down throughout the decades to the 37% tax rate today. The biggest cut to that tax rate took place during Ronald Reagan, when the top income tax rate was cut from 70% to 50%, while it also cut rates for lower income brackets.
😂 really good episode to all 4 of you! You guys all are relaxed, having fun and enjoying each other's company and it shows! Getting together for a Labor Day must have been good to 'the team'! Keep doin' what you're doin' - you bring joy & laughter to your fans! That's pretty special! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You guys are the best! I love how Nate's description of a doctor during war, wearing a backless gown and assuming nothing else besides socks and underwear was just brushed over...can you imagine walking into the doctor's office and he/she was dressed the same way as you? Good stuff!!
As someone who’s had two comments read, it is about being brilliant, clearly. Thanks for the clarity, Belgium Burner PS. Super excited to watch your special tomorrow 🎉
Liar Liar is one of my favorite movies and people don’t know what movie I’m talking about a lot of the time. This is why I listen! Thanks for having things in common.
I’ve hit the jackpot with all 4 of you this week! Never have I ever seen Shawshank Redemption, a George Foreman Grill, or a Magic Bullet. Nor have I ever seen the curvature of the earth. But I’m still having a good time!
I started this pod cast after seeing Nate's special on Amazon a few months ago. I am finally all caught up! This pod is gold, Jerry, gold! Not only am I laughing out loud at every episode, I have learned so much...from learning that panguins come in all hwite to learning that emus have a pouch, in which they carry a gun! To make my pohnt, this latest appliances pt 2 had me cracking up!!! Nate, BB Gun, Aaron and Dusty - Thank you for keeping the laughs coming! You all are a blessing!
Love listening while I commute to/from work. And figuring out what exactly is an appliance during the Appliance episode is what I love about the Nateland Podcast. The toilet seat talk had me laughing so hard that I had to pull over my car… “the upkeep”….I about died. Thanks for the ab workout
Nachos Anybody!!! Thank you Aaron for mentioning the best infomercial EVER! Me and my older brother STILL say that to each other till this day ever since we saw that infomercial back in the day and NOBODY ever knows what we are talking about.... the lady talking drags of her cigarette... the fat guy... the drunks... what a party they must've had! - Uri
I just discovered the Podcast on youtube after being a fan of Nate for years. You guys are hilarious and Iove listening. I am now going back to the podcast and starting from episode one. So glad to have hours and hours of Nate's great rambling commentary! Aaron, Brian, and Dusty really make Nate think sometimes and it's awesome. Keep up the great work guys!
Hello folks, I am a firefighter paramedic in Michigan. It is not uncommon for people to think these jobs are separate. In the recent past they were ,but nowadays both job titles are needed to be a firefighter. Easiest way to think of it as how you fellas are comics and writers, two jobs built Into one. Congrats on Evan Johnson, #thinredline. Also congrats to Baller Bates on the special !
I'm glad Nate clarified that this was a prerecorded episode before advocating for Michigan State's football program 😂😂😂 (the news broke earlier this week their coach is suspended and under investigation)
I got an email yesterday from Wikipedia asking to donate because I donated $3 back in 2018! I used flex seal spray on one of the valleys on my roof over the garage. For less than $10, I fixed my roof and it held for 7 years until a hurricane forced me to replace the whole roof. I’m a believer in that product!
I use the “nahga…nahga…nah gonna work here anymore” quote from Office Space at least once a week. Rarely gets a reaction. It makes me so happy to know that Nate quoted that in this episode. Keep up the good work, fellas!
Bashful saying “and thats the Gregorian calendar, so…” to Dusty’s complaint about the $40k/yr comment for 2 days work was an all time moment that once again went completely unnoticed. Give Bollywood his due for the comedic gold he provides!
Re: Jim Carrey snubbed Oscar performances - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. To be fair, I have to look up the title every single time. He’s also remarkable in Kidding. Y’all are the Best!!
Firefighter/paramedic and former Fire Chief here, it's all about money. Most states hire folks that are trained as both to maximize their usefulness with less employees. One employee can work on the firetruck one shift and be on the ambulance next shift.
Aaron - You only have to charge an electric toothbrush about once a month. So when you travel you can just bring the toothbrush - you don’t have to bring the charger. Using one is so beneficial to your teeth and gums!
Loved the pivot from Aaron shaking his fist at the sky over 'electronic' toothbrushes on the grounds of fighting against everything becoming battery powered, to his heartfelt ad-read for the electrification of perhaps the most important and widely-used human-powered machine known to man. :)
Another great show. This show is the reason i get excited for Wednesdays. I saw a Billboard for a laudermat that will wash all your clothes for $99 a month. Would you pay $99 a month to have someone to wash your laundry?
In a Nashville parking garage, I (forgot about and then) cracked a Thule rack on my car and bought Flex Seal to ensure I could drive back to Oregon without our stuff getting compromised by the weather. It is THE. BEST. STUFF. EVER. The tape has become one with the container and withstood the extreme heat and storms without incident.
In San Diego we used to have to pay a toll to go across the bridge to Coronado. The bridge got paid off 17 years early in 1986, the toll booths were removed and the toll ended in 2002!
The birthday paradox is a great gambling trick at a party or a bar. With 30 people, there is a 70% chance of two people having the same birthdays. If you fail, just double down and ask for 5 additional people. The odds bump up to 81.4% with 35 individuals & most bettors will agree to this double or nothing bet. Go make free money folks!
As an EMT I'd like to explain the confusion around the "firefighter/paramedic" conversation. In most states, all firefighters go through EMT school and need to be certified/licensed emergency medical technicians in addition to completing fire academy. There are generally four levels of EMT (in order from most basic to most advanced): Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), EMT-Basic (EMT-B), Advanced EMT (AEMT), and Paramedic (EMT-P). As a resident of Tennessee, most fire departments I'm familiar with require all firefighters to be certified/licensed AEMT's. Different states have different standards.
I sold Cutco for a hot minute in high school. (It was $18 an hour, and my boss literally wore Auburn pajama bottoms to our first official meeting.) One of the tricks we were instructed to use to sell things was cutting pennies with scissors the company provided us. Long story short, I sold 5 cutting boards to my friends' parents and quit.
Speaking of Jesus’s ‘stepdad’…When my daughter was very young she’d point to a nativity and say “That’s Jesus, Mary, and Joe Smith” we still say that every Christmas! 😂
If Aaron watched infomercials, I’m sure we could do a whole episode just on those. I too watched the Magic Bullet several times, George Forman Grill, the “set and forget” machine, Oxy Clean with the Oxy Clean guy, and the product I was most impressed with, The Little Giant ladder.
I can’t believe you all talked about the George Forman grill for 20 minutes and failed to recognize one of the greatest appliance moments in TV history when Michael Scott burned his foot when he stepped on his Forman grill! And you call yourselves Office fans!
Brian cracked me up when Aaron was talking about padded toilet seats and said that upkeep on them would be difficult. Brian kinda quietly said "what's going on there" hahaha!!
I wonder what the Nateland Crew think of the Aaron Rodgers Achilles heel injury prediction that was posted on X (formerly Twitter). Someone "tweeted" at 6pm that he would tear his Achilles tendon in "2.5 hours". At 8:30pm he was out of the game with that exact injury. Conspiracy? What's Dusty's take? Hey bear.
In the early days of Nateland, the stated goal was to produce "evergreen" content. This meant the fellas didn't comment on recent events. Now, there's a movement to start the Nateland News Network. What episode are they pushing this plan? An episode recorded at least a week earlier. As everyone knows, the only thing with higher ratings than the local news is local news reruns from the previous week. (To be fair, I'd probably still watch). I'll go proofread this now.
My dog died. (It gets funnier.) Toward the end I took him out to pee. He lacked the balance, strength, and coordination to lift his leg. So he leaned his hips forward until he was done. Then, at the last minute, he picked up his leg to style it out. It reminded me of BranFlakes’s delayed heel raise in his golf follow-through. And I laughed and laughed. You guys don’t even know how your inane banter makes our days better. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I found a george foreman grill at a garage sale in the free bin, and now I know why it was free. It was the first or second generation of grills and it didnt have a lift on the hinge to properly close the lid. So basically it was a pac-man mouth type wedge that squishes and scorches the food to oblivion on one side, and the other side is still raw. You have to take the height of your food into serious consideration before use. Lol
Now that we know the amount of effort that Brian pours into curating the comments segment each episode, I would propose that we start calling it "The Breakfast Club".
If someone had told me that one day I would get extremely excited to see the words APPLIANCES PART 2, I wouldn't have believed them.
This. 😅
“Jesus Christ Carpentry, LLC” - pure gold right there😅😂
✨🙏🏼✨
Last week on our family vacation, while sitting all together my mother asked how our drive was up to the cabin. After we all responded with “great!” she proceeded to ask “Did you all see the dead horse on the side of the road?”.

Wiping the water from our eyes we realized she was completely lost and had no idea what we were talking about. This led to a night of watching Nate’s specials and clueing them into this fantastic podcast. We were all having a great time!
It’s getting harder to explain to people what this show is about. We’re having a good time.
When Dusty said “I bet Jesus measure twice and cut once” I laughed until I cried. Then I watched it again and no one on the pod laughed which made me laugh again. This is what the podcast is all about.
Appliances Part 2?? I love this podcast so much.
Also, Dusty gets 100% credit for that Been Hiding Joke.
😂😂😂
Dusty Slay went certified gold with that Bin Hidin' joke
Breakfast's ignorance of the Foreman Grill sheds a lot of light on the waffle fiasco.
😂😂😂
This is so funny 😂
Hello folks and HEY BEAR! On a recent trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, we came out to the parking lot to find a large black bear lurking around our car. I immediately recalled my podcast training and began shouting “Hey, bear!” into the Gatlinburg night. To no surprise, it worked, and the bear scurried off into the surrounding forrest. Thank you Nateland for the podcast, the laughs, and for making the world a safer place. We love you, none of this is lost on us, and uh yeah, see you next week!
Ben-Hiden may be the funniest joke I have ever heard. especially since it caught Aaron off guard.
I could not stop laughing when Dusty out of nowhere said beenhidin
YES Aaron's face was just about as funny as the joke. Had to watch about 10+ times.
As a nerd with a degree in math, it was cool to hear the Birthday Paradox mentioned. It took them a minute to figure it out but they got it. Indeed, the paradox "works" because it's not asking the probability of YOU sharing a birthday with someone, but rather of ANY 2 people in the room sharing a birthday. With 23 randomly selected people, there are 253 possible pairs to consider. Fun fact: The probability reaches 99.9% when you reach 70 people in the room.
165 episodes in and this has to be the peak; watching the four of you watch an infomercial about queso! And I would watch this every week.
The fact that Aaron finds you all so funny is a key to this show. Built in laugh track.
My favorite running joke on the podcast is the Michigan State undercutting. Keep up the great work boys!
25:42 Leaving the “L” out of “Wolf” while including it in “Folks” is what makes this educational podcast so great. I’m looking at you Notre Dame. Thanks for the laughs!
I laughed out loud at Breakfast’s “on the Gregorian calendar” comment, and no one caught it.
I’m listening while operating a crane at work. When Nate said “Hoosier Damn” I bent over laughing and then realized I had to get it together and get back on task! Love this podcast so much!
My Grandpa is 97 and started learning to cook when my Grandma died 5 years ago. His most-used appliance is definitely the George Forman grill!
My favorite thing about Nateland? Nate, Dusty, Aaron, and Brain have the COURAGE to talk about the real issues that others shy away from. Appliances Part 2? Clearly not afraid of those controversial topics.
Went to my local bar's trivia night and one of the questions was what kind of professor doesn't work full time? One of my teammates said after it was asked "we all knew that." I did know it, but I wouldn't have known it without this podcast, so thank you for not letting me look stupid
This is what i love most about Nateland: after 2 full episodes on appliances, the guys spent the last little bit of episode 2 breaking down the definition of appliances.
“Appliances Part 2” was another thing of beauty. Great episode. It inspired me to suggest a new way of naming your episodes. Start with the topic Breakfast has selected and researched, then follow it with the topic or topics the guys spend the most time actually talking about in parentheses. I wasn’t really enthused about more appliances talk, but the hidden topic of infomercials was so much fun. Keep spreading joy!
It’s so funny when Nate laughs at himself ❤😂😂😂
I agree 💯. It's a different funny laugh.
And barely gives Aaron a smirk sometimes when he lands a good one. 😂
I was in the TSA Line this week, and experienced Nate's Comedy LIVE! The agent looked back and forth at the name on my ticket and the name on my license - and said, "Have you ever gone by the name "Wes"?" Confused, I confirmed I had. She said, "Well, your license has Wesley." In my mind - I was channeling Nate saying "You can see how we got there, right?!?" After having me stand there for 5 minutes and having a supervisor confirm it as OK - I was able to proceed. CRAZY!
Dang, I almost spit my coffee on my work PC when yall started in on the cushioned toilet seat conversation. Then you smacked us with the garden hose bidet!
Keep it up!
nate adding vibrating to every electronic thing after the toothbrush was killing me 😂
Brickleberry HAS heard of a George Foreman grill. It’s what Michael Scott burned his foot on!!
That’s the first thing that pops in my head when I hear George Foreman grill. Then because I like to wake up to the smell of freshly cooked bacon! 😂😂🤣
Southern accents are the best. As a kid I always thought my aunt’s name was Darsan. Like Dar-San. I’m 42 now and I was well into my 30s when I figured out her actual name was Dorris Ann. Darsan is just how everyone in the family pronounced it. Lol

I cracked up at Broadleaf’s answer “Nobody knows” when Nate asked how chocolate mousse was made

Several times Tiktok movie/show clips have led me to finding and watching the full thing. It feels like a clever form of advertising
Brian’s 23 people birthday joke was hilarious! Let’s get over this old “B-word” name joke and give Brian the respect he deserves. Thanks for all the hard work, Brian Bates!
The worst part about those padded toilet seats was when the vinyl would get a small tear in it and would pinch your under thigh once you sat down.
Okay, I'll give to y'all, I laughed so hard on the last 15 minutes.😂
I too have never seen Shawshank Redemption. But I’ve seen many George Forman grills in my lifetime !
We just found an old George Foreman grill at a garage sale in the free bin😂 works like a champ, but some foods cook unevenly because the lid doesn't come down over big items like a fat burger, by the end its flattened lol
"You do like a garden hose right now?" Dammit that was a quick one lol

PS. Super excited to watch your special tomorrow 🎉
Hello folks! Naturally the appliances part 2 episode quickly becomes the infomercial episode. I'm here for it.
I don’t laugh out loud by myself very often, but when Dusty said “Been hidin’” I lost it, and even woke up the dog. Best impromptu joke yet.
Dusty: "For when the spoon is too hard." OMG. Had me ROLLING!
Liar Liar is one of my favorite movies and people don’t know what movie I’m talking about a lot of the time. This is why I listen! Thanks for having things in common.
I love it when y’all crack each other up.
Well, add "Liar, Liar" to the list of movies Nate has watched instead of "The Shawshank Redemption". 😂
Liar Liar> Shawshank every day of the week
Funniest episode in a long time. Electronic vibrating... just kept on giving.
I’ve hit the jackpot with all 4 of you this week!
Never have I ever seen Shawshank Redemption, a George Foreman Grill, or a Magic Bullet.
Nor have I ever seen the curvature of the earth.
But I’m still having a good time!
Hello folks and hey bear 😂

What are you eating?
It’s for heartburn.
You’re the real deal, man.

Omg the conversation about the 1% sales tax… i wish i could be a part of this convo.
Hello Folks and Hey Bear 🐻
All day!
Let's Go!!!
👋 👋
I use the “nahga…nahga…nah gonna work here anymore” quote from Office Space at least once a week. Rarely gets a reaction. It makes me so happy to know that Nate quoted that in this episode. Keep up the good work, fellas!
I have not watched the Super Bowl for maybe 15 years, but if Nate was on at halftime, I would definitely tune in!
Hey Bear!
Bashful saying “and thats the Gregorian calendar, so…” to Dusty’s complaint about the $40k/yr comment for 2 days work was an all time moment that once again went completely unnoticed. Give Bollywood his due for the comedic gold he provides!

Aaron: “No.”
I think Nate and I had same math teacher.
Aaron - You only have to charge an electric toothbrush about once a month. So when you travel you can just bring the toothbrush - you don’t have to bring the charger. Using one is so beneficial to your teeth and gums!

Thoughtlessly
In a Nashville parking garage, I (forgot about and then) cracked a Thule rack on my car and bought Flex Seal to ensure I could drive back to Oregon without our stuff getting compromised by the weather. It is THE. BEST. STUFF. EVER. The tape has become one with the container and withstood the extreme heat and storms without incident.
In San Diego we used to have to pay a toll to go across the bridge to Coronado. The bridge got paid off 17 years early in 1986, the toll booths were removed and the toll ended in 2002!
The birthday paradox is a great gambling trick at a party or a bar. With 30 people, there is a 70% chance of two people having the same birthdays. If you fail, just double down and ask for 5 additional people. The odds bump up to 81.4% with 35 individuals & most bettors will agree to this double or nothing bet. Go make free money folks!
As an EMT I'd like to explain the confusion around the "firefighter/paramedic" conversation. In most states, all firefighters go through EMT school and need to be certified/licensed emergency medical technicians in addition to completing fire academy. There are generally four levels of EMT (in order from most basic to most advanced): Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), EMT-Basic (EMT-B), Advanced EMT (AEMT), and Paramedic (EMT-P). As a resident of Tennessee, most fire departments I'm familiar with require all firefighters to be certified/licensed AEMT's. Different states have different standards.
Aaron insinuating Snow Bird was in blackface killed me
My childhood
Mom: want a burger on the George Foreman
Me: Absolutley
I sold Cutco for a hot minute in high school. (It was $18 an hour, and my boss literally wore Auburn pajama bottoms to our first official meeting.) One of the tricks we were instructed to use to sell things was cutting pennies with scissors the company provided us. Long story short, I sold 5 cutting boards to my friends' parents and quit.
The way AAron smiles when he speaks of the college grilled cheese sandwiches ❤❤True happiness😂
Speaking of Jesus’s ‘stepdad’…When my daughter was very young she’d point to a nativity and say “That’s Jesus, Mary, and Joe Smith” we still say that every Christmas! 😂
If Aaron watched infomercials, I’m sure we could do a whole episode just on those. I too watched the Magic Bullet several times, George Forman Grill, the “set and forget” machine, Oxy Clean with the Oxy Clean guy, and the product I was most impressed with, The Little Giant ladder.
I can’t believe you all talked about the George Forman grill for 20 minutes and failed to recognize one of the greatest appliance moments in TV history when Michael Scott burned his foot when he stepped on his Forman grill! And you call yourselves Office fans!
As a long time advocate for bringing back the water bed, all this toilet seat talk has me thinking how wonderful a water bed toilet seat would be.
Brian cracked me up when Aaron was talking about padded toilet seats and said that upkeep on them would be difficult. Brian kinda quietly said "what's going on there" hahaha!!
I wonder what the Nateland Crew think of the Aaron Rodgers Achilles heel injury prediction that was posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Someone "tweeted" at 6pm that he would tear his Achilles tendon in "2.5 hours". At 8:30pm he was out of the game with that exact injury. Conspiracy? What's Dusty's take? Hey bear.
“Pitcher of water” “Well, that’s the same word”
😂
We need a full infomercial special. Bring on some of the best products!
I feel great about being part of the 2 comment club! A little less great about “not being funny” being a way to get a comment read but that’s ok.
In the early days of Nateland, the stated goal was to produce "evergreen" content. This meant the fellas didn't comment on recent events. Now, there's a movement to start the Nateland News Network. What episode are they pushing this plan?
An episode recorded at least a week earlier.
As everyone knows, the only thing with higher ratings than the local news is local news reruns from the previous week. (To be fair, I'd probably still watch).
I'll go proofread this now.
My dog died. (It gets funnier.)
Toward the end I took him out to pee. He lacked the balance, strength, and coordination to lift his leg. So he leaned his hips forward until he was done. Then, at the last minute, he picked up his leg to style it out.
It reminded me of BranFlakes’s delayed heel raise in his golf follow-through. And I laughed and laughed.
You guys don’t even know how your inane banter makes our days better. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I found a george foreman grill at a garage sale in the free bin, and now I know why it was free. It was the first or second generation of grills and it didnt have a lift on the hinge to properly close the lid. So basically it was a pac-man mouth type wedge that squishes and scorches the food to oblivion on one side, and the other side is still raw. You have to take the height of your food into serious consideration before use. Lol
