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!
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!
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!
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.
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
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!
“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!
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
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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!
@ 1:53:10 Nate says that when you think of Appliances you think of BIG things, but in Appliances #1 the first appliance he thought of when Bates asked which appliance lasts the longest, the though Toaster... That said, when I used to go to K-Mart with my mom and chase after the Blue-Light-Specials, Irons and toasters and the like were in "Electrics" and not "Appliances".
My favorite bit was the Band talking about the Magic Bullet. While talking during the infomercial, making jokes, reminds me Mystery Science Theater 3000
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!
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.
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.
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
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 would TOTALLY climb that tower to change the light bulb. I'm 53 yrs old and have had minor knee surgery. Why not? Your strapped in! What's the worst can happen? A cherry picker has to come get ya? 😊
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!!
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. :)
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
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!
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!
😂 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! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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!!
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
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. 😅
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 🎉
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!
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. 😂
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!
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
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!
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.
I look forward to this podcast so much and listen to it first thing every Wednesday morning. I'm always sad when it's over so this week I tried listening to it on just normal speed this week, can't do it. 1.25x speed at the MINIMUM 😂
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!!
Toilet jokes! I love this podcast! I think we need an appliance part 3 episode. I laughed so much. Also…the blue tint on toilet seat comes from pregnancy hormones reacting to the antibacterial coating on the seat
Dusty’s story about his trailer being the place ppl came to use the phone reminded me of a place my wife used to work. Her company employed a lot of Amish folks. Many of them breed and sold puppies. They would use the company’s phone number in their advertisements, so they constantly fielded calls from people inquiring about puppies. My wife was a basically a part time puppy salesperson for the amish puppy breeders.
As a kid with an antennae tv with no cable, I have seen the magic bullet, Ron Popeils Rotisserie, and the Miracle Blade Perfection Series infomercials all the way through multiple times. Staying home from school was a whole different vibe at our show. Love the show
A couple weeks ago in on the Football episode Big Show Bates mention how dumb the fumble out of the endzone/touchback rule was. Nate basically called him stupid for suggesting the rule be changed because it never happens and never impacts a game. Not even 2 weeks later on Thursday Night Football between the Viking and Eagles the excact scenario plays out and is THE difference maker in the result of the game. The Vikings miss out on a TD and the Eagles go down the field to kick a field goal to end the half. A 10 point swing in a game that was decided by 6 points. I call that a win for El Jefe Bates! -Ryan's Butcher
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!
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.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen “Measure twice, cut once” in red letters in the New Testament. Of course Jesus didn’t mess up his carpentry, and if He did….I bet there was a miracle to fix it that nobody ever even knew about!
I've never seen utube ads play during the podcast, just your ads. I still watched, but it was kind of frustrating to have to skip them. It was still a one good to watch
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.
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.
When my son was younger, he begged us to buy Flextape every time we went to the hardware store. We finally gave in and bought some and it was great! We’ve patched holes in plastic pools and temporarily fixed leaks and still have the rest under the sink!
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!
Of course they wait until the end of the SECOND episode about appliances to have a discussion about what constitutes an appliance. Par for the course I suppose! Love it! 😂
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.
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.
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.
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".
“Jesus Christ Carpentry, LLC” - pure gold right there😅😂
✨🙏🏼✨
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. 😅
It’s getting harder to explain to people what this show is about. We’re having a good time.
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!
Appliances Part 2?? I love this podcast so much.
Also, Dusty gets 100% credit for that Been Hiding Joke.
😂😂😂
Breakfast's ignorance of the Foreman Grill sheds a lot of light on the waffle fiasco.
😂😂😂
This is so funny 😂
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.
My favorite running joke on the podcast is the Michigan State undercutting. Keep up the great work boys!
Dusty Slay went certified gold with that Bin Hidin' joke
The fact that Aaron finds you all so funny is a key to this show. Built in laugh track.
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.
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.
I laughed out loud at Breakfast’s “on the Gregorian calendar” comment, and no one caught it.
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.

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.
nate adding vibrating to every electronic thing after the toothbrush was killing me 😂

So glad yall covered the infomercial. This was a huge part of my life at one time lol
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. 😂
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!

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! 😂😂🤣

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!

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

Omg the conversation about the 1% sales tax… i wish i could be a part of this convo.
Okay, I'll give to y'all, I laughed so hard on the last 15 minutes.😂
We need a full infomercial special. Bring on some of the best products!

I have not watched the Super Bowl for maybe 15 years, but if Nate was on at halftime, I would definitely tune in!
Hello folks! Naturally the appliances part 2 episode quickly becomes the infomercial episode. I'm here for 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. 😅

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!
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.
The way AAron smiles when he speaks of the college grilled cheese sandwiches ❤❤True happiness😂
Hey Baaron the toothbrush oscilates not vibrates, gave it the old college try though.
Something you guys might not hava know is that Billy Mays and Vince Offer had beef. Theres audio clips on RUclips of Billy Mays going off on him.

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.
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

Toilet jokes! I love this podcast! I think we need an appliance part 3 episode. I laughed so much. Also…the blue tint on toilet seat comes from pregnancy hormones reacting to the antibacterial coating on the seat
Hello folks and hey bear 😂
Dusty’s story about his trailer being the place ppl came to use the phone reminded me of a place my wife used to work. Her company employed a lot of Amish folks. Many of them breed and sold puppies. They would use the company’s phone number in their advertisements, so they constantly fielded calls from people inquiring about puppies. My wife was a basically a part time puppy salesperson for the amish puppy breeders.
As a kid with an antennae tv with no cable, I have seen the magic bullet, Ron Popeils Rotisserie, and the Miracle Blade Perfection Series infomercials all the way through multiple times. Staying home from school was a whole different vibe at our show. Love the show
A couple weeks ago in on the Football episode Big Show Bates mention how dumb the fumble out of the endzone/touchback rule was. Nate basically called him stupid for suggesting the rule be changed because it never happens and never impacts a game. Not even 2 weeks later on Thursday Night Football between the Viking and Eagles the excact scenario plays out and is THE difference maker in the result of the game. The Vikings miss out on a TD and the Eagles go down the field to kick a field goal to end the half. A 10 point swing in a game that was decided by 6 points. I call that a win for El Jefe Bates!

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!
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.
No School! No School!
I loved snowbird growing up!!! And Bill Hall was the man!
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen “Measure twice, cut once” in red letters in the New Testament. Of course Jesus didn’t mess up his carpentry, and if He did….I bet there was a miracle to fix it that nobody ever even knew about!
I've never seen utube ads play during the podcast, just your ads. I still watched, but it was kind of frustrating to have to skip them. It was still a one good to watch
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.
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.
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.
When my son was younger, he begged us to buy Flextape every time we went to the hardware store. We finally gave in and bought some and it was great! We’ve patched holes in plastic pools and temporarily fixed leaks and still have the rest under the sink!
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!
Of course they wait until the end of the SECOND episode about appliances to have a discussion about what constitutes an appliance. Par for the course I suppose! Love it! 😂
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.
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.

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.
