Agreed. I was hesitant at first about the addition because I was such a fan of the existing trio and didn't want a new person to cut into anyone's air time. I was wrong though. Dusty has been such a great addition and I actually like the podcast better with the 4 hoarse-men.
He said the kamodo dragon is venomous. Its not. It has very deadly bacteria in its mouth and when they hunt they usually only have to bite its prey and wait until its completely immobile to go in for the kill. They're stalkers basically.
"I stand with the hippos" should be a slogan considered for a t-shirt 😂 hilarious You guys are ridiculous and I love it. I have a friend who loves Nate as much a I do and when discussing this podcast (which she has not listened to yet) I found my self having to explain that she might not like it right away; but that you really have to stick with it to enjoy it. I was very confused when I started listening and now I feel like you guys are all friends that I haven't met yet. Keep it up fellas!
As a teacher I think it should be required for high school kids to take a test like the citizenship test in order to graduate. Most people probably can't answer the 1st question, and that is just sad. Loved hearing Nate's answers as I gave mine. 😂
I instinctively said, "The supreme law of the land is the constitution," while I was only half listening at work today. Kudos to my high school history teacher for making sure we knew the information that was on that test.
I was so excited to have my comment read but then Baked Beans over there had to toot on my parade and point out that I made a grammar mistake. Yes The Cheesecake Factory has Breakfast every day and Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays! Thanks for the laughs friends!
He's become the Ernie Johnson of the podcast, which is a very under valued role. Someone has to drive the flying circus, and he still gets some good liners in despite having to be the adult in the room.
1:24:06 As a homeschooling mom and former teacher, I think my new goal is to teach my kids to pass the citizenship test, especially after hearing yalls guesses!
Nick novicki voicing as a lego character and nate says, nick is gonna get TOO BIG!!!! I dont know of that was a shot at his size but it made my ears perk up lol.
I was pumped to be able to deliver those signs to you last week! Thanks for the shout! Will have to come up with something else for November when you come to Peoria! Thanks for the mention of BJD Bat Flags too!
Big fan of the podcast! I live in the Louisville area. I was torn when I saw June 4th conflict between Bates in Louisville and Nate in Bowling Green. Flipped a coin and went with Nate. On Sunday we got ready for the 2 hour drive to SKyPAC. Then my car broke down. So we hopped on our bikes in the pouring rain. I-65 is not as bike-friendly as you would think. Authorities were called. Time wasn’t on our side. Ended up cutting our losses and went to Louisville Comedy Club. Bates…you killed it. Great show! At the end of an already hilarious bit about hiking, I whispered to my friend a call back that could have been added to the end. He liked the idea. So much so he told YOU, the comedian, about adding the call-back when getting a picture with you. Question: How annoying is it when fans suggest things to you? Have you ever taken a fans advice that killed?
Find someone who loves and respects you like Nate loves and respects grizzly bears. Also, I never heard a comment on this but Nate might just be a worcestershire pronunciation savant. I've heard him struggle to say average every day words, but "worcestershire" rolled off his tongue like he invented the sauce.
As much as I love and respect Aaron's college education it hurts to hear him say "verse" as an abbreviation for versus. As often as people say it, it's not a thing
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Aaron for his tip to use your skull as an antenna for your car key to find your car! Saved me from searching for my car for an hour! Hey Bear!! Also merch idea of the filled out animal bracket on the back of a shirt!
Oh I feel you Brian. My wife and I have two little kids and about a year ago decided to take a weekend vacation to Seattle, Washington all the way across the country. We had not had time just the two of us in many years and neither had ever been to the West Coast. We got to our local, small airport and they had a new rule about shuttling and by the time we made it to check in we had about an hour until flight. We tried using the kiosk which would go through all the steps but would error out at the end. This was a very early morning flight like yours and there was only one person at the counter. I waited in line and when I got to her she redirected me back to the kiosk. Same thing and it didn’t work again. Tried a different kiosk, same thing and didn’t work again. Finally went back to her and told her none were working. She finally said she would check us in. After several minutes of click-clacking at the keyboard she informed us it was now 43 minutes until our flight and you were not allowed to check in less than 45 minutes before flight. We had a back-and-forth about how we’ve been trying to check in for almost 20 minutes and that it was just now 43 minutes, it was 48 minutes when she started trying to check us in. She wouldn’t have it. She said our only option was to go on standby and wait for an available flight. We sat in the airport for 17 hours before being able to fly to Seattle. We spent one night in Seattle before flying back. At least we got to go to the market and watch them throw fish.
This lady I work with always writes forks, when she means folks. For example, “These forks just don’t understand!” Only explanation I have is that she has a wild Brooklyn accent, and maybe she’s just sounding it out?? Anyway HELLO FORKS!!
I worked at Gelsons market out here in LA and every butcher in their meat department had suggestions for customers on how to cook different meats. Most of time they would lie and give the same suggestion but the customers came coming back for that reason, it's part of customer service.
My 8 & 11 yr olds quote Nate's Hello World all the time, especially the happy meal part. Playing it on car rides keeps the peace because everyone loves it!
Aaron - You talking about going to a Bob Dylan concert is exactly what I think a Bob Dylan concert would be like. “It was rough.” Thanks for saving me a trip to see Bobby!
i really enjoy yalls dynamic. i look forward to every episode. it helps more than you know. please let Bath water Bateshop know that i’m on his team. love what y’all do
Love the priceline negotiator. Back in 2017 my wife and I stayed in DC at a very swanky hotel and we paid $75 for the night. I walked in with T shirts & shorts And they were handing me champagne! My wife was laughing all the way to the room telling me how much I looked out of place.
Nate! I didn’t comment on the Michigan episode, but here you are, AGAIN, saying that you really want to come to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Well, you’ve got at least one Yooper fan in me, and I live in Houghton. It’s almost the farthest north you can go in Michigan. Come on up and visit! And if you need a gig, I’m also a Pastor here. Since you and Louie Giglio are no longer working together, I’m sure we could co-preach if you’re game. Regardless, my wife and I are super pumped to see you for the first time this coming weekend in St. Paul, MN!
As great as the animal fight bracket has been, I’m disappointed that it did not include the animal that took the world by storm in 2011.. the mighty honey badger. Plenty of videos of it online taking on cobras, beehives, hyenas, and even lions. They also sport natures only mullet!
I'm visiting the Cincinnati Zoo this week. I'll try to see if we can arrange some of the matchups featured in this episode. I might have the komodo dragon over the grizzley. Their venomous bite also prevents blood from clotting. I'll go proofread this now.
1:06:04 Taking Dusty’s lead on this one… you’re missing an opportunity. There should be a Nateland think tank assembled to settle all of the debates that happen.
Hello again, Folks! Quick update from ThaiLAND: my third Muay Thai fight is now in the books, with another win. While my opponent nervously paced around backstage, I sat calmly listening to a discussion of a medieval flatulist. I knew that if Roland could take the pressure each year, I could certainly handle whatever awaited me in the ring. Nateland has officially secured a spot in my pre-fight routine.
I think you need to bring Forrest Galante onto the pod, and do a recap episode of Animal Fights and let him explain why you are wrong on 75% of these 😂😂
I lost 30 lbs by getting sick on a cruise and spending close to a month in a Mexican hospital in basically a coma. I don't recommend that as a means for losing weight.
I know this was from the Illinois episode, but y’all mentioned liking the name Theodore, Teddy for short and it just made me so happy because that’s what we just named our first son! I missed that episode when we were in the hospital, but it’s been fun to catch up while on maternity leave while I’m nursing, doing laundry and living that new mom life. Love you guys!
1:00:47 I agree with Dusty. A butcher shop should have an idea on the best way to prepare certain cuts. What episode had the original discussion? I must have tuned out during that conversation.
The "baker man's" name is MIMAL (Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana). That's how I learned those states back in 2nd grade and the mnemonic seems to work because that's still how I remember them.
Hello Fellas. I think i have started tuning in for two reasons lately. The first is wanting to hear Dusty talk about almosy anything and to see Aarons hat and shirts/jersey combos. Love the pod
It’s not a third party booking issue. The major carriers have a lowest tier ticket that allows a backpack, or anything that will fit under the seat, only. They all have a time limit for checked bags as well. The computer system prevents them from checking it. I do agree about one free checked bag. It’s ridiculous that it’s not included. I stopped worrying about it a long time ago. Any charges I incur are billed to the customer. Which drives up the price of the product that company sells. The end consumer is the one who pays the cost. Brian needs to pick one airline carrier and stick w/ it. Once you have the lowest tier status you don’t have baggage fees for one bag. It always amazes me how little comedians know about the tricks of constant travel.
I had to travel for my old job and you're absolutely right about carrier loyalty programs and cc's. Not only upgrades for seats, bags, lounges and boarding but rental cars and dining. It just made sense.
My wife and I went to the early show at the SKyPAC in Bowling Green! It was awesome! I bought the tickets last December and had been waiting like a little kid for Christmas morning! The whole show was great! The openers, Nate’s dad was great!! So funny and the best time I’ve ever had at any show! We will be going back to see Dusty in November!! Love the podcast and you guys are great!
I wonder though, if an airline raises the price of their ticket but it’s all-inclusive, how well are they going to do against competitors who just keep their a la carte model of charges? I have a feeling we are in this situation because people, in general, will tend to get the cheapest ticket regardless of what they might be losing.
Spirit and Frontier nickel and dime you. You won’t find business travelers using them. And business travelers make up a large portion of the airlines business. They book on time of departure, not cost.
Layovers, baggage, fine print, and 18+ shows - The last 3 episodes have touched on several aspects of my family's last excursion to see Nate. Last Fall we booked a Spring Break trip to Portugal. Our trip included a 20 hour layover in London. 2 weeks later, Nate released his 2023 dates and was going to perform in London the same night as our layover. Without hesitation, we bought tickets. Fast forward to spring break & our British Airways flight was delayed an hour. By the time we boarded, the crew was frantically rushing around so we could take off. Our family had 4 carry-ons but by the time we got to our seats, there was no overhead space. Before we knew it, the plane started backing out of the gate. We found space for 2 suitcases but took off with the other 2 in our hands. I didn't even know that was legal. After our overnight flight we landed at Heathrow and ventured an hour into town to see Nate later that evening. As we waited in line, someone from the venue pulled us out and brought us to the front of the line. I had no idea what was going on - I honestly thought it was something cool until someone from the venue met us. They were SUPER polite, and let us know that the show was 18 and up. I apparently missed the fine print on the ticket and didn't even think that seeing Nate in an old church building was going to be 18 and up show. We had our 2 kids in tow and (for a moment considered ditching them both) but we were so tired from traveling. I wasn't going to give up on this once in a lifetime opportunity to see Nate in a foreign country. I very nicely (maybe depserately) responded with "We came from America". They asked us to wait and ten minutes later came back to let us in. We were so grateful! The show was so awesome my 9 year old slept through all of it. By the time the show was over we wanted nothing more than to eat some traditional fish and chips. We searched at all the pubs nearby but all of their kitchens had closed. In true Nateland fashion, we settled for the McDonalds around the corner. This was such a memorable experience and I just want to thank all of you for bringing clean laughter into the homes of all of us folks!
The catch phrase from Hello World that I use with my 10 year old great nephew is "what's the zip code of Old Hickory, Tennessee"? He YELLS out 37138!! Cracks us up every time!! P.S. I don't think he knows his own zip code...
RE: Online ads - ad views are also a metric that companies strive for. Clicks and views are big in digital marketing. So, even if you see an ad (on the clickbait articles), someone is getting paid for that ;)
I want to share a magic McDonald's story with you. Yesterday, I was driving to Columbus to visit my Mum (who is 92 and been struggling lately). I was listening this show and remembered there was an amazing McDonald's restaurant off I-70 South to Columbus at the Ashland/Wooster exit. It is the only McDonald's I stop at because the people are so kind and even fun and the food is always fresh AND hot. Well I went in and it was full of kiosks and odd signs about ordering online - they were everywhere! I am a baby-boomer so not terribly enthused about the digital age. Anyway, I hear a woman's voice "you poor dear come over here." It was one of the employees who sensed my distress. She was great. Got my order, we talked about comedians and this podcast (she is a fan) and I enjoyed a piping hot burger, fries and a cool Coca Cola. Anyway, between your podcast and the good cheer of that McDonald's I felt a great deal better and went on to have a great visit with my Mum. Thanks for the fun and helping me stay an optimist!
I Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie and the Blowfish references a few Bob Dylan songs and the man himself. “Put on a little Dylan, sittin on a fence” is a reference to “bird on the horizon, sittin on a fence” from his song You’re a Big Girl Now. The “I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy..” part of the song is a word for word verse from Bob Dylan’s song Idiot Wind. His management sued Hootie and the Blowfish for copyright infringement for that line. He refers to Dylan again, singing “Ain’t Bobby so cool”. And then twice at the end of the song they sing the line “Tangled up in blue”. Darius Rucker’s biggest solo hit is also Wagon Wheel, which was co-written by Bob Dylan.
Nate, Aaron, Dusty, and Bangarang love the pod guys! This has been a fun series! Im with Dusty on the Komodo vs Grizzly. The Komodo is going to deal some damage. Komodo Dragons take a bite out of their pray leaving bacteria in the flesh that painfully and slowly kills you. They stalk their victim until they fall over dead and then devour their kill. So I’m going with a tie! Grizzly kills Komodo in battle, but big dumb bear didn’t go to the clinic after the fight and later dies before the next fight! Let’s gooo Folks!
I’ve just been catching up on the Illinois episode, and when I heard Brian say Nuevo I did a double take. It’s pronounced nah-voo and I just spent 2 weeks living there learning about Joseph smith and the church. Basically no one actually lives there now because it’s just historic sites but I’m sure they would turn out if Brian holds a stand up show there
I’m praying for you Nate get well soon and I’m starting to think you’re living a double life maybe triple how do u find the time well hearing you read u might be a clone jk lol love ur stand up and been listening to the podcast since the beginning you’re so funny would love to come see u next time you come to Charlotte
My dad was at the The Who concert in Cincinnati when people died. He said he was outside waiting with everyone to get in when someone randomly approached him and his friends about watching the concert from a box and coming in early to eat some food before it started. He should have been outside in all of the chaos, but instead he was inside enjoying food and drinks with no idea of all that was happening.
I always hoped, on the spin-off show Joey, that Joey would run into Jerry at some point and he'd tell him "My friend's twin sister was a waitress in a restaurant where a guy and his wife used to come in who sublet his apartment across the hall from you."
I can't wait until Stars, sponsors this podcast. So we can get a rocket money add where Aaron says, cancel unwanted apps like that stars app you don't want for only that one show. Then immediately get stars we all love it.
Keep in mind there are only 7 notes in music. ALL music is based off of these 7 notes. With millions and millions of hours of music ever made, there are bound to be some shared arrangements of these 7 notes.
Love how the snake video shows the snake eating a crocodile and a person and y’all pick the lizard I haven’t gotten one right pick yet and I picked lion versus turkey
I was at the Garth Brooks concert AND the LSU v. Alabama game in 2022 when LSU beat Bama on the 2 point conversion for the first time in Tiger Stadium in over a decade . You would clearly believe that the seismograph went crazy for both events. BY FAR, LSU beating Bama was the far more exciting experience. Bring the Nateland gang for a show in Tiger Stadium and we'll do it again! Let's Go Folks!
Listening to the long-awaited finale of Animal Fights felt a lot like slogging through seasons 7-9 of The Office. Y’all knew you had something magical happening in the first couple of installments, but about 4 minutes into the final matchups Nate sounded a lot like how I imagine Steve Carrell felt during his last season, and I swear I heard him whisper to himself off-mic, “Golly, what are we even doing anymore?” But still! Even your flop weeks still beat the best episodes of just about every other educational podcast. Love you guys, keep on keepin’ on.
I've really come to appreciate Dusty so much! He is smart, quick-witted and so funny! Thanks for including him on the show. 😁
Agreed. I was hesitant at first about the addition because I was such a fan of the existing trio and didn't want a new person to cut into anyone's air time. I was wrong though. Dusty has been such a great addition and I actually like the podcast better with the 4 hoarse-men.
He said the kamodo dragon is venomous. Its not. It has very deadly bacteria in its mouth and when they hunt they usually only have to bite its prey and wait until its completely immobile to go in for the kill. They're stalkers basically.
Agreed!
100%. He shows up every week as the best curmudgeonly but loveable conspiracist grandpa that many of us have been lacking in our lives.
Why do people comment this? I was so stoked when dusty came on..
Aaron: “Ironically, America’s bird is a kamikaze.”
Comedy gold.
Absolutely died laughing.
That line legitimately made me bust out laughing in the office
"I stand with the hippos" should be a slogan considered for a t-shirt 😂 hilarious
You guys are ridiculous and I love it.
I have a friend who loves Nate as much a I do and when discussing this podcast (which she has not listened to yet) I found my self having to explain that she might not like it right away; but that you really have to stick with it to enjoy it. I was very confused when I started listening and now I feel like you guys are all friends that I haven't met yet.
Keep it up fellas!
As a teacher I think it should be required for high school kids to take a test like the citizenship test in order to graduate.
Most people probably can't answer the 1st question, and that is just sad.
Loved hearing Nate's answers as I gave mine. 😂
I instinctively said, "The supreme law of the land is the constitution," while I was only half listening at work today. Kudos to my high school history teacher for making sure we knew the information that was on that test.
I had to take a constitution test to pass the 8th grade lol
I was so excited to have my comment read but then Baked Beans over there had to toot on my parade and point out that I made a grammar mistake. Yes The Cheesecake Factory has Breakfast every day and Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays! Thanks for the laughs friends!
You need a comma after "Yes."
Breakfast for the win!! Quickest joke in the episode, Brian just snipes Aaron with, ‘it’s called a bird.’ 😂🤣❤
Love the podcast but please let this be the last animal fights episode!
“The finale”
@@danielmulkey oops I missed that! 😬
i say take it up a notch and do in VR. no harm done. not like the animal world isn't naturally violent. ;)
Brian is so awesome.
He's become the Ernie Johnson of the podcast, which is a very under valued role. Someone has to drive the flying circus, and he still gets some good liners in despite having to be the adult in the room.
I love when Nate said, "Well Marvin Gaye... is so old!" Marvin Gaye was killed by his father almost 40 years ago...😝😝😝
Let us remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Silver War.
1:24:06 As a homeschooling mom and former teacher, I think my new goal is to teach my kids to pass the citizenship test, especially after hearing yalls guesses!
Same!!
It’s a shame out schools don’t teach it.
My Korean aunt and some friends from Moldova have had to go through this test - and for sure it is HARD CORE!!
I was thinking the same thing, new goal for me and my kids. I went to public school and probably couldn’t pass it.
Nick novicki voicing as a lego character and nate says, nick is gonna get TOO BIG!!!! I dont know of that was a shot at his size but it made my ears perk up lol.
I was pumped to be able to deliver those signs to you last week! Thanks for the shout! Will have to come up with something else for November when you come to Peoria! Thanks for the mention of BJD Bat Flags too!
The vandy flag was one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.
Big fan of the podcast! I live in the Louisville area. I was torn when I saw June 4th conflict between Bates in Louisville and Nate in Bowling Green. Flipped a coin and went with Nate. On Sunday we got ready for the 2 hour drive to SKyPAC. Then my car broke down. So we hopped on our bikes in the pouring rain. I-65 is not as bike-friendly as you would think. Authorities were called.

So much so he told YOU, the comedian, about adding the call-back when getting a picture with you. Question: How annoying is it when fans suggest things to you? Have you ever taken a fans advice that killed?
Find someone who loves and respects you like Nate loves and respects grizzly bears. Also, I never heard a comment on this but Nate might just be a worcestershire pronunciation savant. I've heard him struggle to say average every day words, but "worcestershire" rolled off his tongue like he invented the sauce.
Haha "What is the supreme law of the land?" Nate: "Freedom" no, "no murder" no, "be nice"
Nate's hands were the orange in "Orange is the New Black"
Looking back, adding Dusty Slay to this podcast was the best decision!
The nose whistling has me second guessing if I’m watching an early Nateland 😂
The nose whistling is part of what makes BreakfastBoy so lovable.
I haven't started the episode yet. Don't tell me the whistle is back
Nate’s imagination as a child must have been phenomenal ❤😮😂
"That sounds awful. It sounds like boarding a Southwest flight". So true, Dusty.
As much as I love and respect Aaron's college education it hurts to hear him say "verse" as an abbreviation for versus. As often as people say it, it's not a thing
I've told my wife that I want to lose enough weight that people think I'm sick! And she thinks that's awful. Glad Aaron agrees with me.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Aaron for his tip to use your skull as an antenna for your car key to find your car! Saved me from searching for my car for an hour! Hey Bear!!
Also merch idea of the filled out animal bracket on the back of a shirt!
I have used this trick with my seemingly on the fritz garage door opener and it has worked like a charm. True life hack, thanks Aaron
Yes! Me too!
“Half Blind Hippo” is a great band name.
I like to think when Aaron is feeling down he tunes into the pod to hear Dusty’s Ad reads.
Everyone else: “I don’t think that’s scientifically possible..”
Nate: “well I think it’s my show so..”
Looking forward to "Animal Fights: Resurrection", when it happens again.
Oh I feel you Brian. My wife and I have two little kids and about a year ago decided to take a weekend vacation to Seattle, Washington all the way across the country. We had not had time just the two of us in many years and neither had ever been to the West Coast. We got to our local, small airport and they had a new rule about shuttling and by the time we made it to check in we had about an hour until flight. We tried using the kiosk which would go through all the steps but would error out at the end. This was a very early morning flight like yours and there was only one person at the counter.

She wouldn’t have it. She said our only option was to go on standby and wait for an available flight. We sat in the airport for 17 hours before being able to fly to Seattle. We spent one night in Seattle before flying back. At least we got to go to the market and watch them throw fish.
This lady I work with always writes forks, when she means folks. For example, “These forks just don’t understand!” Only explanation I have is that she has a wild Brooklyn accent, and maybe she’s just sounding it out??
Anyway HELLO FORKS!!
Nate calling himself "enormous" at 215 pounds must make Aaron feel pretty good about himself.😅
Next we need to see a bracket of fast food places battling it out. If it doesn't exist I will make it
Thank goodness this is the last animal fight episode. Normally the topics don't really matter, but this has been 3+ hours of absolute gibberish
I worked at Gelsons market out here in LA and every butcher in their meat department had suggestions for customers on how to cook different meats. Most of time they would lie and give the same suggestion but the customers came coming back for that reason, it's part of customer service.
I loved that Nate got the “war from the 1900s” answer right on accident when he said “Iraq” because he definitely was NOT referring to the Gulf War 😂
I hope dusty can attend his wife’s swearing in! There were still Covid protocols in place when my husband became a citizen and I wasn’t allowed to go.
My 8 & 11 yr olds quote Nate's Hello World all the time, especially the happy meal part. Playing it on car rides keeps the peace because everyone loves it!
33:15 if only I cared to put myself through the anguish of learning a gif maker on my phone. Nate's little Trumpy flappy arms had me 🤣 I can't even
Aaron - You talking about going to a Bob Dylan concert is exactly what I think a Bob Dylan concert would be like. “It was rough.” Thanks for saving me a trip to see Bobby!
i really enjoy yalls dynamic. i look forward to every episode. it helps more than you know. please let Bath water Bateshop know that i’m on his team. love what y’all do
Love the priceline negotiator. Back in 2017 my wife and I stayed in DC at a very swanky hotel and we paid $75 for the night. I walked in with T shirts & shorts And they were handing me champagne! My wife was laughing all the way to the room telling me how much I looked out of place.
Nate! I didn’t comment on the Michigan episode, but here you are, AGAIN, saying that you really want to come to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Since you and Louie Giglio are no longer working together, I’m sure we could co-preach if you’re game. Regardless, my wife and I are super pumped to see you for the first time this coming weekend in St. Paul, MN!
As great as the animal fight bracket has been, I’m disappointed that it did not include the animal that took the world by storm in 2011.. the mighty honey badger.
Plenty of videos of it online taking on cobras, beehives, hyenas, and even lions. They also sport natures only mullet!
I'm visiting the Cincinnati Zoo this week. I'll try to see if we can arrange some of the matchups featured in this episode. I might have the komodo dragon over the grizzley. Their venomous bite also prevents blood from clotting.
I'll go proofread this now.
1:06:04 Taking Dusty’s lead on this one… you’re missing an opportunity. There should be a Nateland think tank assembled to settle all of the debates that happen.
The balloons - would be hilarious if they fell during a funeral held in the theater... just saying

Aaron, Dusty and Breakroom we all need to see you each on Are You Garbage find out if you are class or trash trash trash . . . Loved Nates episode ❤❤
Awe definitely... Dusty would own Foley!! He's way trashier, but it's frugal and forward thinking. Not trash trash trash ...
I lost 30 lbs by getting sick on a cruise and spending close to a month in a Mexican hospital in basically a coma. I don't recommend that as a means for losing weight.
I know this was from the Illinois episode, but y’all mentioned liking the name Theodore, Teddy for short and it just made me so happy because that’s what we just named our first son!

“Obviously, this is a ‘hey, bear’ podcast…” may be one of the best lines ever stated on this podcast. Let’s go, folks!

I’m picturing the wolf with a cone around its head when it faces the elephant 😂😂😂😂😂
Dusty knows way too much to ever believe “Freedom” is the supreme law of land!
Does Dusty have a random mint in his pocket? This guy is so fascinating.
It’s not a third party booking issue. The major carriers have a lowest tier ticket that allows a backpack, or anything that will fit under the seat, only. They all have a time limit for checked bags as well. The computer system prevents them from checking it.
I do agree about one free checked bag. It’s ridiculous that it’s not included. I stopped worrying about it a long time ago. Any charges I incur are billed to the customer. Which drives up the price of the product that company sells. The end consumer is the one who pays the cost.
Brian needs to pick one airline carrier and stick w/ it. Once you have the lowest tier status you don’t have baggage fees for one bag. It always amazes me how little comedians know about the tricks of constant travel.
I had to travel for my old job and you're absolutely right about carrier loyalty programs and cc's. Not only upgrades for seats, bags, lounges and boarding but rental cars and dining. It just made sense.
My wife and I went to the early show at the SKyPAC in Bowling Green! It was awesome! I bought the tickets last December and had been waiting like a little kid for Christmas morning! The whole show was great! The openers, Nate’s dad was great!! So funny and the best time I’ve ever had at any show! We will be going back to see Dusty in November!! Love the podcast and you guys are great!
I wonder though, if an airline raises the price of their ticket but it’s all-inclusive, how well are they going to do against competitors who just keep their a la carte model of charges? I have a feeling we are in this situation because people, in general, will tend to get the cheapest ticket regardless of what they might be losing.
Spirit and Frontier nickel and dime you. You won’t find business travelers using them. And business travelers make up a large portion of the airlines business. They book on time of departure, not cost.
Layovers, baggage, fine print, and 18+ shows - The last 3 episodes have touched on several aspects of my family's last excursion to see Nate. Last Fall we booked a Spring Break trip to Portugal. Our trip included a 20 hour layover in London. 2 weeks later, Nate released his 2023 dates and was going to perform in London the same night as our layover. Without hesitation, we bought tickets. Fast forward to spring break & our British Airways flight was delayed an hour. By the time we boarded, the crew was frantically rushing around so we could take off. Our family had 4 carry-ons but by the time we got to our seats, there was no overhead space. Before we knew it, the plane started backing out of the gate. We found space for 2 suitcases but took off with the other 2 in our hands. I didn't even know that was legal. After our overnight flight we landed at Heathrow and ventured an hour into town to see Nate later that evening. As we waited in line, someone from the venue pulled us out and brought us to the front of the line. I had no idea what was going on - I honestly thought it was something cool until someone from the venue met us. They were SUPER polite, and let us know that the show was 18 and up. I apparently missed the fine print on the ticket and didn't even think that seeing Nate in an old church building was going to be 18 and up show. We had our 2 kids in tow and (for a moment considered ditching them both) but we were so tired from traveling. I wasn't going to give up on this once in a lifetime opportunity to see Nate in a foreign country. I very nicely (maybe depserately) responded with "We came from America". They asked us to wait and ten minutes later came back to let us in. We were so grateful! The show was so awesome my 9 year old slept through all of it. By the time the show was over we wanted nothing more than to eat some traditional fish and chips. We searched at all the pubs nearby but all of their kitchens had closed. In true Nateland fashion, we settled for the McDonalds around the corner. This was such a memorable experience and I just want to thank all of you for bringing clean laughter into the homes of all of us folks!
The show was so awesome the 9year old slept through all of it. Haha!
You know it would take Nate a full episode just to read this comment 😂
Love Dusty
It's somewhat ironic that immigrants need to know the answers to a test that most Americans don't even know the answers to
It’s not ironic, it’s sad. Parents need to stop relying on schools to teach their kids everything. They need to be proactive in their education.
@@DustySlay Agreed!
Hello Folks and Hey Bear
The catch phrase from Hello World that I use with my 10 year old great nephew is "what's the zip code of Old Hickory, Tennessee"? He YELLS out 37138!! Cracks us up every time!! P.S. I don't think he knows his own zip code...
Come on guys!!! Bill of Rights!!!! Law of the Land- of course - constitution. It lays it all out!!! Literal laws. 🤣🤩 1:24:34
RE: Online ads - ad views are also a metric that companies strive for. Clicks and views are big in digital marketing. So, even if you see an ad (on the clickbait articles), someone is getting paid for that ;)
I can’t believe that Aaron didn’t just ask AI who would win in these animal fights. They give wonderful insight!
I think ya'll missed an opportunity to use AI to simulate animal fights. Now this doesn't mean to continue with the animals! Love the podcast!
I like how RUclips is suggesting me to download Expedia after Breakfasts story!
Was Marvin Gaye the first one? No, Johann Pachelbel was. That song « cannon »..
I want to share a magic McDonald's story with you. Yesterday, I was driving to Columbus to visit my Mum (who is 92 and been struggling lately). I was listening this show and remembered there was an amazing McDonald's restaurant off I-70 South to Columbus at the Ashland/Wooster exit. It is the only McDonald's I stop at because the people are so kind and even fun and the food is always fresh AND hot. Well I went in and it was full of kiosks and odd signs about ordering online - they were everywhere! I am a baby-boomer so not terribly enthused about the digital age. Anyway, I hear a woman's voice "you poor dear come over here." It was one of the employees who sensed my distress. She was great. Got my order, we talked about comedians and this podcast (she is a fan) and I enjoyed a piping hot burger, fries and a cool Coca Cola. Anyway, between your podcast and the good cheer of that McDonald's I felt a great deal better and went on to have a great visit with my Mum. Thanks for the fun and helping me stay an optimist!
I Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie and the Blowfish references a few Bob Dylan songs and the man himself. “Put on a little Dylan, sittin on a fence” is a reference to “bird on the horizon, sittin on a fence” from his song You’re a Big Girl Now. The “I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy..” part of the song is a word for word verse from Bob Dylan’s song Idiot Wind. His management sued Hootie and the Blowfish for copyright infringement for that line. He refers to Dylan again, singing “Ain’t Bobby so cool”. And then twice at the end of the song they sing the line “Tangled up in blue”.
Darius Rucker’s biggest solo hit is also Wagon Wheel, which was co-written by Bob Dylan.
Barry Sanders should have been in this bracket.
Nate, Aaron, Dusty, and Bangarang love the pod guys! This has been a fun series! Im with Dusty on the Komodo vs Grizzly. The Komodo is going to deal some damage. Komodo Dragons take a bite out of their pray leaving bacteria in the flesh that painfully and slowly kills you. They stalk their victim until they fall over dead and then devour their kill. So I’m going with a tie! Grizzly kills Komodo in battle, but big dumb bear didn’t go to the clinic after the fight and later dies before the next fight! Let’s gooo Folks!
I’ve just been catching up on the Illinois episode, and when I heard Brian say Nuevo I did a double take. It’s pronounced nah-voo and I just spent 2 weeks living there learning about Joseph smith and the church. Basically no one actually lives there now because it’s just historic sites but I’m sure they would turn out if Brian holds a stand up show there
I laughed out LOUD when Dusty says that killer whales jump out of the water and Nate says “Shamu” with such confidence!
Nate, I was right there with you on finding out Michigan is more than the mitt. Educational podcast? Thanks Nate, Aaron, dusty, and beddyby bates.
I’m praying for you Nate get well soon and I’m starting to think you’re living a double life maybe triple how do u find the time well hearing you read u might be a clone jk lol love ur stand up and been listening to the podcast since the beginning you’re so funny would love to come see u next time you come to Charlotte
My dad was at the The Who concert in Cincinnati when people died. He said he was outside waiting with everyone to get in when someone randomly approached him and his friends about watching the concert from a box and coming in early to eat some food before it started. He should have been outside in all of the chaos, but instead he was inside enjoying food and drinks with no idea of all that was happening.
I always hoped, on the spin-off show Joey, that Joey would run into Jerry at some point and he'd tell him "My friend's twin sister was a waitress in a restaurant where a guy and his wife used to come in who sublet his apartment across the hall from you."
I can't wait until Stars, sponsors this podcast. So we can get a rocket money add where Aaron says, cancel unwanted apps like that stars app you don't want for only that one show. Then immediately get stars we all love it.
If Aaron and Dusty had a baby it would undoubtedly be Cliff Clavin. ruclips.net/user/clipUgkxvS9zyLOhCVSXZVwKEbrWwTYl6xo3hSTU
Love the chip standard. Especially since in Texas we have all kinds of food, including chips, shaped like our state.
Keep in mind there are only 7 notes in music. ALL music is based off of these 7 notes. With millions and millions of hours of music ever made, there are bound to be some shared arrangements of these 7 notes.
think we need to set these up in VR. we need the proof, without actually abusing animals. because the natural animal world isn't violent at all ;)
Love how the snake video shows the snake eating a crocodile and a person and y’all pick the lizard I haven’t gotten one right pick yet and I picked lion versus turkey
You four are much better than U2, but I'm convinced that you are all Bob Dillon imposters
✋Hello! The most recognizable state is Michigan, hands down...or up, as it were😂
Aaron! It was not Marvin Gaye's estate that sued Ed Sheeran! It was Marvin Gaye's writing partner's estate
“I work Monday through Friday” EVERY week, not just this week 😉
I’m with Nate. I had no idea about the upper peninsula until my nephew moved there. I only knew about the mit.
Crazy my neighbor had two emus and some madman chopped one to pieces after hearing what happened in the wolf fight
One restaurant that has it all and is quality is BJ's Brewhouse 216 stores in 190 cities.
Bald Eagle goes for the eye for damages next round. RIP BALDIE.
I truly did not know that point about why it was called the "Cold War" - mind blown.
Dusty - You remember that thing we did at the beginning of the episode?
I was at the Garth Brooks concert AND the LSU v. Alabama game in 2022 when LSU beat Bama on the 2 point conversion for the first time in Tiger Stadium in over a decade . You would clearly believe that the seismograph went crazy for both events. BY FAR, LSU beating Bama was the far more exciting experience. Bring the Nateland gang for a show in Tiger Stadium and we'll do it again! Let's Go Folks!
Listening to the long-awaited finale of Animal Fights felt a lot like slogging through seasons 7-9 of The Office. Y’all knew you had something magical happening in the first couple of installments, but about 4 minutes into the final matchups Nate sounded a lot like how I imagine Steve Carrell felt during his last season, and I swear I heard him whisper to himself off-mic, “Golly, what are we even doing anymore?”
But still! Even your flop weeks still beat the best episodes of just about every other educational podcast. Love you guys, keep on keepin’ on.
